you must, with ah, the credit confirms that and yet scandal guns people's republics have asked russia for quotes help in repelling the ukrainian regimes and military aggression. it comes after, don't boss leaders say ukrainian forces have stepped up cross border shell fire. meanwhile, the head of that, and he has peoples or public denies western reports of russian troops entering the area where they could be brought in if the conflicts escalates further. and the release is a list of russian nationals and entities that will face sanctions following the recognition of the done yet allude guns, republics. the less to include the russian defense minister and our tease editor in

chief with your watching our t international. my name is peter scott and wherever you are joining us from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. and we start with breaking news. this our, the kremlin has confirmed the test has received a request from the heads of little guns and done yes, republics. for quote, help in curbing aggression from ukraine. now ukraine has responded to this news by asking the un security council to hold an emergency meeting. ah, the hell was asked for on the basis of treaties they signed with moscow earlier this week and comes after reports of an escalation in the region. this video from the guns were shared exclusively with r t and appears to show the aftermath of a bombardment. local officials say 2 civilians were killed when

a car was hit by nancy tank missile. meanwhile, citizens in done yet, sca reportedly having problems receiving incoming calls on their mobile boards. internet's remain stable and this exclusive video shows artillery fire hits in done yet. can local authorities say 3 civilians have been killed by the ukrainian military in the last 24 hours? ortiz murat gas, dia reports. this is the aftermath of an apparent car bombing that recently happened in the guns 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 this 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 the family dog wasn't 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 from the people here . the villages it is unlikely that this dog is screwing to get any help. this is the harsh reality of war and cheapens the value of life and made fear and terror. people turn in woods, survival rather than charity or mercy,

becomes the priority. they have been usually hot and glen, do they have no t from say, 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 here. they behave like animals. it might make more sense if there was a military base, has some so just the dis, nobody but pensioners in seniors room or got which the why do you think doing this out of hatred? this level of violence stretches for hundreds of kilometers. the entirety of the front line is a fire like near by. 2 civilians were reportedly killed when a guided missile fired from the ukrainian side struck their vehicle hours apart. 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 chilling 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. now just for quick updates, as we've got some news just in the un security council will hold a meeting, an emergency meeting later today, that's following the request from ukraine as kiff reflects on the other request by the danielle elegance, republics for help from russia to stop the further escalation of that situation and of course, as always we will keep you updated on that story as and when we get the information on it and bots. now earlier we spoke with independent war journalist, patrick lancaster, who is on the ground in don. yes. and he says he has been close to that shelling yesterday when we were at the site of the id is to revise explosive device attack

on the road. going from done yesterday to lift. we were documenting the aftermath. and as we were there, more shells started coming in, it was a little bit nervous situation thing definite increase in showing coming from ukrainian territory and a increase in the use of improvised explosive devices. and yesterday there were 3 civilians killed on the highway where tween don, yes, can go look. and this morning there was an explosive device, but outside the tv station, the main tv station headquarters here just exploded and knocked out almost every window in the building. luckily, there was no civilian casualties, but it shows a definite increase in the hostilities from ukraine and increase in the

targeting of civilians. the hatch denying they are showing areas. this is something that they've been denying to the last almost 8 years now. they've never admitted that they were showing civilian areas, so i don't think we can expect them to admit it. but the fact is, it's happening after the announcement of the recognition by huge and the population here is really got to take emotions. and they were very happy about the recognition and hope that this means is soon. russia is going to come and help the you. meanwhile, has officially published a list of people to be sanctioned. ortiz, the editor in chief, marguerite seminar is on this list, which also includes russian defense minister litigation grew on the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman murray. as a lot of these policy reports on the implications of the use response,

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 la guns and, and it's in eastern ukraine. in addition, they will be as a 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 dentist regions. there was also talk of an intimate, so called tall factory being targeted in saint petersburg. now they are also restrictions that are being 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 da nets and little guns we are hearing from you 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 the desire to have, quote big bang sanctions to come. now we also heard earlier from the french finance minister who lashed out at the 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 under international law and accused him of revisionism and we in wincing history. at the same time,

we've heard again from the german foreign affairs minister, accusing putin of to quote, lying. we must goes planned intervention in ukraine and, and in terms of what putin said to western leaders in recent days. the west is said to be preparing for all scenarios, including a full russian invasion and in the united kingdom is waiting for more military action. and more military support for ukraine. we have heard from the british prime minister by his johnson saying that to quote lethal aid in the form of weapons and non lethal aid will soon be provided by the u. k. to ukraine. the russian government has accused the british defense, secretary of mythologized, the 19th century current crimean war and gets in his facts muddled as of the ban.

wallace reach back in the history to suggest the u. k. could fight russia and when by the way and get away that is consistent publication as far as i was concerned, ever since the fall or 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 on russia, push the boundaries back, incorporate many former soviet countries into the nato. and there was talk quite recently of bringing the ukraine into in tomato. there is a consistent hypocrisy in the way that russia is treated by comparison. if you think of china,

china and is doing all sorts of things that the west would be saying is, is unacceptable. but in fact, nothing happens in the way of sanctions fall from it. there's more business been done that has been done with on tuesday, the federation council, which is russia's opera house, gave the president permission to use military forces abroad, but he may be within said he didn't mean troops would be deployed immediately. that decision routine says will depend on the situation on the ground. ukraine has blustered the decision colon. it's an act of aggression. meanwhile, the national security defense counsel is declared a state of emergency which affects the territory of ukraine, except for the done yes and no guns regions. the state of emergency gives authorities the power to be able to introduce a curfew transport restrictions and a ban on strikes. u. s. president joe biden insist russian forces are now in the

dom bus. and it's the starts of an invasion of the leader of the don units. people's republic says there are no russian troops in the region. ortiz roman casa reports, and danielle st. put all this was denise for shillings, sir. first, sir, press conference, a massive press conference after the announcement self recognition of an s 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 so still kind of, i think in end i'm, there were many journalists and the press conference. i included in a local russian and a foreign media as well did. and 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 said, in accordance with the agreement, signed with russia on the 21st of february, he added also in his bushland that certain if people's republic will use any

opportunity for peace as long as soon as it presents itself. and indeed, it's been a far from mark wyatt here on the front lines in genetic of the last a few days said any special and said that ukraine had started using multiple rockets or launching systems. and they're also always c, monitor emission 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. more than 13000 people have now died since the start of the conflicts in the da boss. according to russian government dates a course of the victims, our civilians. russia's main investigating authorities opened 400 criminal cases of

the death, of which 85 a legit perpetrators have been established. the list includes members of ukrainian military members of the security services and state bodies. british lawmakers are considering further sanctions against russia over its recognition of the done yet can load guns republics. the 1st batch targeted 5 banks and several wealthy individuals. and now this channel is in the firing line. shoddy head was dusty, has the latest. well ot 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 tunnel to be taken off as they're heading. that campaign is the leader of the opposition to kiss darma and in his words, r t. a c. as putin's personal propaganda tool, and his accusing it's jealous of spouting disinformation. russia today is his personal propaganda. i can see no reason why it should be allowed to continue to

pro cost in this country. so will the promise to now i'll stop calm. to review its license, i need to speak. i believe that my writing friends at the state for go to meet in school has already all still come to review that nasa. but what i will say this is beaca is that is that we live in a, in a democracy, mrs. because we live into a country that believes in free speech, and i think it's important that we should leave it up to off home rather than to politicians to decide which media, roy, organizations, a 2 bath, that's what russia does. of 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 u. k. limits russia spread of state propaganda at home . so it is interesting to see a cabinet member hi. hi. hi, 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 ought to be shut down in the 1st place. quite a sip, specifically about free speech as a fundamental principle. the u. k. held itself on the fundamental principles of free speech, the right to tell all sides of the same story, any current thing, 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 the headlines at the time. so it does seem somewhat a 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. we heard from ortiz, deputy editor in chief on buchanan. she says the channel is in full compliance with u. k. broadcast rules. what i have 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 some comments. you other media outlets. they're reviewing. i guess the letter was signed by the culture minister. i have not received any them yet, but that they will have, you know, perhaps maybe add some additional scrutiny to review or content and complaints and things. but i'm not quite sure what the complaint 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 for content of the highest quality. busy award winning recognize internationally can happen. 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 or a very long time. b r. i understand 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. you know, the initiatives of the be, have long proudly said that the be, the platform carries the voice of the british values to the world. which is essentially what r t has trying to do. among other things, for russia are awarded

a lot more like a lot more. i know, benefit of the doubt, i'll probably say carrying their point of view to the world. and for some reason, russia and r t are not allowed to earlier, we spoke with london's form and they can live instant. he praised the channel. i don't think this is an issue for off. com. i mean, i watch on tv every day. i've never seen propaganda, i've never seen a long way. it's got a good balance coverage of global news around the world. and i mean, this is all just being ramp up because of the crisis on the ukrainian borders. and why do use me so much about people watching all this stuff on tv is being ramp, topless or land g russian propaganda? this were not told on any british television or radio channel that these areas in ukraine has russian populations. they want to be part of russia,

and that happens all way around the world. i have not seen any british news channel . i actually tending us the truth about that, what's going on and you cry and why? i haven't seen a single amuse program pointing out that these are substantial ration communities on the other side of the board with you cry. and i have not seen any media, british media and point out which 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 cranium, change the board and included crime in it. and the people crime, they 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 offered to everyone. all around world,

the secretary general of nate, so has slammed russia's decision to recognize the break weighed on bus republics. speaking just a few hours ago yet installed some big accused moscow of disrupting global security . there is much at stake in today's crisis. the risk of conflict is real. russia is using force in ultimatums, not only to redraw borders in europe, but to try to rewrite the entire global security architecture. ah, in all the news, the canadian prime minister has announced that the country will end the use of the emergencies out since invoking it 10 days ago or authorities were given temporary powers to crack down on anti vaccine monday protestors who occupied much of downtown otto and to day, after careful consideration were ready to confirm that the situation is no longer an emergency. therefore, the federal government will the ending the use of the emergencies act. well,

one of the more high profile organizes was arrested and subsequently denied bales fucking anger within the community. ortiz pizza, oliver reports from ottawa, all to his streets to remain clear from protesters, but the repercussions from the major police operation that went in to clearing the streets while they continued 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. in ottawa are out of control. the current interim chief, the took over from the departed chief slowly, or whoever's dealing with their social media and the, the, the threats the extort of type threats that are coming across from the a, 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 protest lead it's modeling chew is among those arrested by police was denied bail on tuesday. she's facing challenges that could lead to up to 10 years in prison, also was acting police cheetham to canada's deputy prime minister of both said that there will be retrospective charges against those who 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 a state of emergency many times before, 911. they should and parliament hail to name a couple. and we have never invoked the emergency act as scans simply passed, stated this is a necessary government overreach going after. people for prosecution after the fact house drone comparisons with the storming of the capital in washington, dc and 2021. something which should be avoided says, noise. what we saw in canada, particularly in ottawa, was nothing at all like what took place in the united states and there january 6th

. i know a lot of people from dishonest brokers from before the protests 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 in today's decision to invoke the emergencies act. it gave police the power in order to get people out of their camps in the streets of altura, but opposition politicians have said it was akin to using a sledge hammer to crockett. no, i want to lower 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 process 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 all to a police, the heavy 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 out. we've also seen our c, m p. text messages that were going on in a private shop where they were, where 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 us border for work they spiraled into demonstrations encompassing a host of people angry with the current canadian government. hundreds have been

arrested. then numbers may be added to the prime minister trudeau and his supporters continue to insist that the emergencies act was necessary. he, while hundreds of people who came here to also add to protest, left wondering if not next knock at the door, may well be from the police coming to arrest them. be sure all of a r t and also a canada, a group called the justice center for constitutional freedoms. that sets up a legal defense team to assist the protesters. people taking pods in also freedom convoy can now gets advice from them free of charge. john copy who leads the advocacy organization, says 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 cham freezer bank accounts, just because they don't like your political opinions. and that's what's happening.

know, a pre minister trudeau did not like the political opinions expressed by the peaceful protesters an ottawa. and now some of these same protesters are finding that their bank accounts are frozen. those are the main stories, this our head over to our t dot com or our social media pages for more money to be discussed. and i'll be back again in just about 30 minutes. i look forward to talking to you. oh, that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except when that shortens it. conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust.
