ah, ah, the criminal confirmed, the internet's can look to people's republics, have off russia for, quote, to help in repelling the crating regimes military aggression is comes after all mass leaders. so you can enforce his of stepped up, cross court shall fall. meanwhile, the head of the don't ask people's republic had denied western reports of russian troops and from the region while saying they could be brought in if the conflicts escalates further. western powers hits russia with the wave of sanctions. while moscow says soaring, energy prices are going to hurt consumers worldwide with

from oscar. thanks for joining us. this our in our scenes, national and daniel hawkins. wherever you are this evening. welcome to the program . and we are starting with breaking news. this our, on that top story, the kremlin confirming and has received a request from the 2 heads of the dumbass republics for help with i quote, help in coming, rushing from ukraine now and recognizing that on mas as independent moscow signed a defense treaty offering to interact with the republics over requests for military assistance the the call from the republics comes off. the reports of an escalation on bus is video from the people who was shared with our exclusive lead appears to show would be awesome. awesome bombardment. local officials say to civilians were killed, want to call us at one at the tank. well, this video shows our theory for hitting donnie. ask local authority,

say 3 civilians have been killed by the ukraine military in the last 24 hours or more. i got the reports. this is the aftermath of an apparent car bombing that recently happened in the gods city. devastated during the war 7 years ago. violence has come anew to the separatist republic to the city. and the outskirts is another village that was hit over the course of this violent night, say $122.00 millimeter mortar round here, the bits of shrapnel that caused all this damage. cutting down power lines as well as blowing out windows in nearby house. as this happened again in the very early hours of the morning in these village, ironically named mary mountain locals are terrified when this ukrainian shell landed in the middle of their village. many were hiding in the basements, which may have saved their lives. no people were heard. but

a family dog wilson. so lucky you can see 2 wounds in its head, a piece of shrapnel, apparently that went into either it's on the back of the head and came out of the other side, given conditions. here are the violence and the lack of money with people here. the villages it is unlikely that this dog is going to get any help. this is the harsh reality of war. at cheapens the value of life and meet fear and terror. people turn in woods, survival rather than charity or mercy becomes the priority that they have been usually. i think like him of you, they have no decency why till people are dying on the other side and we feel bad for them. my grand daughter and son are there and were being attacked hair, they behave like animals. it might make more sense if there was a military base hess,

him so just because nobody but pensioners senior him accomplish that. why do you think they doing this out of hatred? these level of violence stretches for hundreds of kilometers. the entirety of the front line is a fire near by. 2 civilians were reportedly killed when a guided missile fired from the ukrainian side struck their vehicle. how is the parts an explosive device apparently went off at the lou ganske tram depot with such force that thousands awoke in the middle of the night. people are exhausted, physically and psychologically wasted by 8 years of war. and so it goes on the violence and shelling and bombardment it dulls at times, only to start up again with renewed ferocity. and there is no end in sight. diplomacy so far has failed. every one. on tuesday,

the federation council, let's rushes up, a house gave the president permission to use military force is abroad to conduct a so called peacekeeping mission that he a booth inserted. that would mean troops will be deployed immediately. that decision, the president said would depend on the situation on the ground. and ukraine has she blasted that decision, calling it an act of aggression. in while the national security and defense council has declared a state of emergency which affect the whole therapy of ukraine, except for the internet is can lebrans regions. the state of emergency gives authorities the power to be able to introduce a curfew transport restrictions and a ban on strikes you as president joe biden insists, russian forces are now in a dumbass. and at the thought, when invasion are the leader of the don't ask people to republic says there are no russian troops in the region. not is that on one causative reports from glanced. but all this was denise for shillings, sir 1st sir, press conference. a massive press conference after the announcement self

recognition of the next people's republic by a russia. well, he started by saying that he still can believe that this historical decision was made and it's still kind of, i think in end there were many journalists and the press conference. i included in a local russian and a foreign media as well, didn't. he's pushing replied, that's a russian army is not present in finance. people's republic. however, he added that they could be here if they were needed, and that's in accordance with the agreement, signed with russia. on the 21st of february, he added also denise bushland, that sir dennis peoples republic will use any opportunity for peace as long as soon as it presents itself. and indeed, it's been far from mark wyatt here on the front lines in the nest of the last few days. there is any special and said that ukraine had started using multiple rockets, launching systems, and also always see monetary mission have confirmed that cease fire violations have

been taken place. so over the last few days, and those allegations are all denied by official authorities in, ah, key of for now, denise bushland ended. so the press conference by saying that says, this war must be ended as soon as possible. and the rebuilding of the economy should start and the improvement of peoples lives as well. or more than 13000 people have now died since the thought of the conflict and had on bus, according to russian government days, or a quarter of the victims or civilians. russia's main investigating authority has opened 400 criminal cases over the deaths of which 85 alleged perpetrators have been established. that list includes members of the ukrainian military members of other security services and state bodies. a british lawmakers are considering further sanctions against russia. roberts recognition of the donuts can go against republics. the 1st batch targeted 5 banks and several wealthy individuals. now,

this channel is in the following line. sharia edwards dusty has the latest. well o t is in the spotlight here in the united kingdom for 2nd day in a row. that's because m p 's calling for this very channel to be taken off as spearheading that campaign is the leader of the opposition to kiss stammer. and in his words, r t. a seed as putin's personal propaganda tool. and he's accusing its gentleness of spouting, disinformation, russia today is his personal propaganda. i can see no reason why it should be allowed to continue to prove cost in this country. so will the promise to now i'll stop calm to review its license a i believe get my ride with the state for go to median school has already all still come to review that massive thought. but what i will say this is beaca is it, is that we live in a, in a democracy, mrs. because we live in

a country that believes in free speech. and i think it's important that we should leave it to offer home rather than to politicians, to decide which media roy organizations a to back. that's what russia goes off, come has already said it is going to investigate. examine complaints about ortiz coverage, specifically about the crisis in ukraine as a priority. so it is keeping a close eye on us then, but it's simply not good enough for the government. the government wants to see this channel taken off that because as the letter reads, r t, as part of russia's global this information campaign. and that it's essential the you k limits, russia spread of state propaganda at home. so it is interesting to see a cabinet member, a high, high, high politician here in the u. k. weighing in despite the prime minister saying it's not the job of politicians to weigh in in such matters. and if they do so well, the u. k. would be as bad as russia, but 2 things really are quite striking in order. first,

i see the fact that cooling for our kids to be shut down in the 1st place, quite a sip. so specifically, about free speech as a fundamental principle you pay how's itself on the fundamental principles of free speech, the right to tell all sides of the same story, any courage the british public to engage in critical thinking and not just accepting of the u. k. government line. secondly, though, for that matter, is this an issue of state sponsorship because if it is an issue of state sponsorship, then we have to look at the b, b. c. that too, is sponsored by the state, by the way, just to mention last year when china band, the bbc world service that was early last year in 2021. the u. k. government slammed that move as an unacceptable tailing of media freedom. they with a headlines at the time, so it does seem somewhat hypocritical at this point, of course has now released the statement confirming it will not hesitate to step in and take action where necessary. recognizing the serious nature of the crisis in

ukraine. we have been keeping the situation under close review and have already stepped up our oversight of coverage of these events by broadcasters. in the u. k. we are expediting complaints in this area is a matter of urgency and we will not hesitate to take swift action when necessary. while it statement goes on to say and i read it is acceptable for board causes to present issues from a particular perspective. provided alternative views and opinions are also represented. so it seems as only one condition, and that is that coverage can't be one sided propaganda make of that. what you will, but ultimately, any channel here in the united kingdom, whether that is sky news, the b, b, c channel for i t n, whatever it is, you name it all t is also playing by exactly the same off. com rules that we heard from ortiz, deputy editor in chief on a balcony. she says the channel is in full compliance with u. k. broadcast rules. what i had seen and again, this is all the news or dropping. basically,

there's any update every minute. but from what i have seen, they have made comments to other media outlets. they're reviewing. i guess the letter was sent to them by the culture minister. they have not received any from them yet. but that they will have, you know, perhaps maybe ask some additional scrutiny to review our content and complaints and, but i'm not quite sure what the complaints they have in mind because he has not had a single breach of the awesome code that is really important for me to reiterate, in the last 4 years at all, i think the content of leader of the highest quality award winning recognize internationally. there is a pressure to have a special review indicate that it has nothing to do with our with our own existence . which means that it is becoming a purely purely political matter for

a very long time. b r. i understand that it was not even subject to the review by the independent regulator. i don't see any difference in terms of the well, the nature of the funding, the nature of the better became the vcr of the be, have long proudly said that the be the platform carries the voice of the british british value to the world. which is essentially what r t has tried to do. among other things, for russia, are afforded a lot more latitude and it's a lot more, you know, benefit of the doubt. i'd probably say is you're carrying their point of view to the world. and for some reason, russia and r e are not allowed to. we spoke earlier with lemons from american livingston, who spoke highly of ortiz perspective. i don't think this is an issue for off come, i mean, i watch tv every day. i have never seen propaganda. i've never seen

a lonely, it's got a good balance coverage of global news around the world. and i mean, this is all we're just being ramp because of the crisis on the ukrainian borders. and why use me so much about people watching all this stuff on tv is being ramp, topless or land t russian propaganda that we're not told on any british television or radio channel . but these areas in ukraine of russian populations, they want to be part of russia. and that happens way around the world. i have not seen any british news channel. i actually telling us the truth about that. what's going on, you know, why? i haven't seen a single amuse programs pointing out that these are substantial ration communities . on the other side of the board with you crying. i have not seen any media produce media and point out that crimea was never

a part of the ukraine. the hundreds and hundreds of years, it was only back in the 1950s that then russian leda khrushchev, who was himself ukrainian, changed the board and included crime air in it. and the people crime were never given their choice a few decades ago. we allow the people of scotland and wales to have ballots to decide whether they wish to be independent or remain within the u. k. and that should be a freedom offer to everyone. all around the world. the secretary general of nato slammed russia decision to recognize the breakaway on mass republics. speaking a few hours ago, again, stilton accused moscow disrupting global security. there is much at stake in today's crisis. the risk of conflict is real. russia is using force and ultimatums . not only to reach all boulders in europe, but to try to rewrite the entire global security architecture. the human won as

slapped travel bands and asset freezes, and members of the russian parliament who voted full recognition of the can look out for public art. he's paula leah. reports you ambassadors in brussels, have those heard a package of sanctions against russia and these go further than the sanctions. the u. k and the united states are implementing. first and foremost we have the 351 russian parliamentarians. they will face sanctions for having voted for the independence of the provinces of lou ganske and annette's in eastern ukraine. in addition, they will be as the freezers, as well as travel bands, as well as a prohibition for making funds available to 27 high profile people and entities. now these include banks, they include business people, they include ali, gas, anybody and everybody who had any kind of financial or material support for the lu, ganske, and de nits regions. there was also talk of an internet so called ho factory being

targeted in saint petersburg. now there were also restrictions that had been placed on russians are on russian government's ability to raise money on the european financial markets. and there was also trade ben that is being implemented with dynette and luc guns. we are hearing from e leaders that further sanctions are likely to be in the pipeline that they could follow in the next few days. and, and some leaders have actually expressed a desire to have, quote big bang sanctions to come. now we also heard earlier from the french finance minister who lashed out at leap north stream to project, which was quite surprising because earlier he had supported it. the e. u finance ministers are due to meet on friday and saturday to also look at further sanctions. the french foreign minister has said that putin does not,

except ukraine's independence and international law and accused him of revisionism and when into history. at the same time, we've heard again from the german phone affairs, minister, accusing putin of to quote, lying we moscow's plan intervention in ukraine and, and in terms of what putin said to waste and needed in recent days, the waste is said to be preparing for all scenarios including a full russian invasion and then the united kingdom is waiting for more military action and more military support for ukraine. we have heard from the british prime minister bobby johnson saying that quite nice. so 8 in the form of weapons and non lethal aid will soon be provided by the u. k. to ukraine.

and the russian government has accused the british defense, secretary of mythologized, the 19th century, try me in war and getting a fax model that's off the band was reached back into history. this is just the u. k. could fight russia. and when by the way it is consistent publication as far as concern ever since the fall of the soviet union when there was talk about helping russia. in fact, what, what was actually happened is consistent attempts to try and sort of clamp down a russia, push the boundaries back, incorporate many former soviet countries into the nato and was talk quite recently of bringing the ukraine into nato. is there is a consistent hypocrisy in the way that russia is treated by comparison. if you

think of china, china and it's doing all sorts of things that the westwood saying is, is unacceptable. but in fact nothing happens in the way of sanctions fall from it. that is more business been done that has been done with russia as a matter to us. i see trying to stop shelling on bass republic saying they've been relentlessly attacking the region for 8 years. so you'd have been just spoke a couple of hours ago at an emergency general assembly session on the ukraine crisis. for those 8 years, kias continues and is continuing to bomb its own citizens and shock from direct dialogue which don't pass. it has led over the past 8 years, the entire international community, up the garden pond, insisting on its commitment to the mint agreement and a but only through its interpretation. they convened for

a meeting regarding discussion about the situation in ukraine and we heard taking the floor, the russian ambassador and ben zia, now eventually it took to the floor. and he pointed out many aspects of this situation that are being blatantly ignored and us mainstream media and a lot of western discourse. he talked about the language inquisition that has been carried out in ukraine against those who speak russian. he talked about how lies about the 2nd world war are being perpetrated. and the ukrainian government has celebrated collaborators with the nazis as if they were somehow heroes. armies talked about the murders of journalists and the shutting down of t. v network. so that had a different opinion, a different perspective than the ukranian government in kiev. and in addition to that, he talked about how the minsk agreement has not been implemented. i and then the 14000 people have been killed. many of them children and civilians killed in the eastern regions. i'm and he also raised the spectre of

a possible new refugee crisis being created by the crisis in the country and by the ongoing situation. so he basically laid out why it was necessary for russia to recognize the don as the people's republic and the lugens people's republic. and he made it pretty clear to this international body. now, there were obviously many voices representing countries aligned with the united states that disagreed with him, but many were paying close attention when the ambassador spoke. and this was a gathering, this was not the un security council, this was the un general assembly representing all member states. and it was an important moment for russia to take the flu war and defend the recent decision not to give recognition to the new republics. of the canadian prime ministers just revoked emergencies act since invoking at 10 days ago. authorities were given temporary powers to crank down on anti vaccine mandate purchases. he occupied much of downtown, also with one of the main. one of the more high profile organizes was arrested and

subsequently denied bail sparking anger among the community. ought to be to all reports from ottawa, all to his streets remained clear from protesters, but the repercussions from the major police operation that went in to clearing the streets while they continue to rumble. all lawyers representing some of those who were arrested during that operation, say their clients rights may have been trampled on the police right now and are out of control. the current interim chief that took over from the departed chief slowly, whoever's dealing with their social media and the, the threats the extort of type threats that are coming across from the, the ottawa police twitter account. and then the police down on the ground are completely out of control right now. there is no doubt that the emergency act gave the police greater powers. there's no doubt about that. but they didn't give the police unlimited powers. protests lead

a tomato late to was among those arrested by police was denied fail on tuesday. she's facing charges that could mean 2 of the 10 years in prison also was acting police chief and candidate deputy prime minister. both said that there will be retrospective charges against you took part. if you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges. absolutely. our country has been in this state of emergency many times before. $911.00, the shooting at parliament hill tonight, a couple. and we have never invoked the emergency act as can safely pass, stated this is a necessary government overreach going after. people for prosecution after the fact has drawn comparisons with the storming of the capital in washington, dc. in 2021, something which should be avoided says lawyers, what we saw in canada, particularly ottawa, was nothing at all like what took place in united states and there january 6th. i

know a lot of people from dishonest brokers from before the protest even began. we're trying to frame it that way and wanted it to be can as january 6th. that certainly wasn't the case earlier this week and a vote in the house of commons m p. 's upheld prime minister just intruders decision to invoke the emergencies act. it gave police the power in order to get people out of their camps in the streets of also, but opposition politicians have said it was akin to using a sledge hammer to crocket note. i lowered the temperature across the country. the prime minister clearly wants to raise and it comes up the cost to canadians, rights and freedoms. speaker, parliament should not allow the prime minister to avoid responsibility in this way . i think what we're doing today, the precedent, we're setting to be able to freeze bank accounts of political dissidence. the importance of back cannot be understated. the conduct of offices towards the

protest is, remains controversial with a number of people looking to bring cases against the or to a police, the heavy harm the tactics. then we see now with the next leg up, where we've seen a very aggressive police presence and police operation, the use of mounted police units, one woman was trampled. we've also seen our c, m p text messages that were going on in a private chat where they were, were they were sort of making light of the use of force of the tactics that were going to be used. oh, the so called freedom called voice, which wound its way to walk to was started out as a protest by some truckers against mandatory coven vaccinations. across the u. s. border for work. they spiraled into demonstrations encompassing a host of people. angry with the current canadian government. hundreds have been arrested. that numbers may be added to the prime minister trudeau and his

supporters continue to insist that the emergencies act was necessary. a while hundreds of people who came here to also to protest. i left wondering if the next knock at the door may well be from the police coming to arrest the feature, all of a thief and all to canada. a group called just a sense of a constitutional freedoms, a set up, a legal, different thing to assist the protest. this people taking part in the auto freedom convoy can now get advice from them. free of charge. john copper. he leaves the advocacy organizations, say the government's actions are serious cause for alarm. national emergency requires that there be a serious threat to the ability of the government of canada to protect the security sovereignty and territorial integrity of canada. and the serious threats must be such that it cannot be dealt with by regular,

federal and provincial laws. no, it should be obvious to any reasonable person that a bunch of truckers that are peacefully protesting in ottawa, causing some inconvenience to some of the ottawa residence that is not a serious threat to the security sovereignty or territorial integrity of canada. is just outrageous. and this is an example of an old saying that the big lie works better than the small lie. and so here we have the big lie that this is a national emergency. when in fact, it was a peaceful protest that was causing some inconvenience to some people in ottawa, this is very scary when the government can freeze your bank account just because they don't like your political opinions. and that's what's happening. no. ah, prime minister trudeau did not like the political opinions expressed by the

peaceful protesters in ottawa. and now some of these same protesters are finding that their bank accounts are frozen. oh, before we go, some breaking news to go, we'll talk story. they don't boss escalation. ukraine is calling for an emergency meeting with the un security council that follows the confirmation from the kremlin, that the leaders of the need to recognize that nets and logans people's republics have asked moscow for military help. real closely follow that says 3, provide you with the latest as it comes. and although the headlines for this our all things rational trustful connections, we will be back to it shortly. i had to get you right up to speed on the top level . these headlines join us again. ah, ah

mac geysers financial survival guide. housing, rob? oh oh, you mean there's a downside, artificial mortgage right now get carried away. watch guys to report ah, with.
