at the center of's decision is the ambassador bridge which connects ontario and detroit. when it is working normally, $550 million worth of trade is carried over the bridge on a daily braces. that crossing has been shut for days. several other border crossing poin are affected. this is what the scene looks like at the ambassador bridge this hour. it's usually busy with traffic flowing in both directions. the roads remain blocked. the u.s. has urged canada to take action. protests have spread across canada while remaining in force here in the capital, ottawa, where they began at the end of january. here is how ontario's premier doug ford called on the group to end their demonstrations. >> we are two weeks into the siege of the city of ottawa. i call it a siege because that is what it is. it's an illegal occupation. today, i' using my authority as premier of ontario to declare a state of emergency in our province. and i will convene cabinet to use legal authorities to urgently enact orders that will make crystal-clear it is illegal and phable to block and impede the movemen

it comes after the premier of ontario declared a state of emergency. nato allies have been meeting to discuss ukraine. the us has warned that a russian invasion could happen at any time — but says there is nothing yet to indicate vladimir putin has decided to do so. the metropolitan police has contacted uk prime minister boris johnson with a questionnaire to ask what he knew about alleged parties in downing street during coronavirus restrictions. russia says the teenage figure skater kamila valieva should be allowed to compete at the winter olympics — despite a positive doping test. the fifteen year old won the team competition, and is due to compete as an individual.

we can now speak to drew dilkens, the mayor of windsor, ontario. thank you for coming on. would you accept that as authorities, you accept that as authorities, you may have been taken slightly by surprise by these protests? slightly by surprise by these rotests? , ., , , protests? the protesters were rollin: protests? the protesters were rolling through _ protests? the protesters were rolling through for— protests? the protesters were rolling through for several- rolling through for several days, after the ottawa siege started they started rolling through many communities, including ours, but the protests were peaceful, they kept moving, vehicular traffic to and from the busiest border crossing in north america continued to the flora, and it was only thought of by surprise that all of a sudden, it all came to a halt and so, it became very problematic immediately, the impact was material because we were talking about $400 million a day in trade that crosses that one border crossing. you talk about $400 _ one border crossing. you talk about $400 million, - one border cross

ontario declares a state of emergency — as the premier of the canadian province pledges to crack down on the anti—vaccine protests — claiming they're an illegal occuption. you are right to make a political statement does not outweigh the rights of a million people in ottawa to live peacefully, free of harassment and chaos in their own homes. nato allies meet virtually to discuss ukraine — the us warns a russian invasion could happen at any time — and advises its citizens to leave. we continue to see signs of russian escalation, including new forces arriving at the ukrainian border. we are in the window when it invasion could begin at any time should vladimir putin decide to order it. and counting the cost of the conflict in ethiopia — as thousands face famine — we report on the human price of the civil war. the premier of the canadian provice, ontario, has declared a state of emergency — as people protesting against covid restrictions continue to block several key border crossing points with the us, while also continuing to shut down key parts of the capital, ottawa. dou

so we are doing there is now a state of emergency in the province of ontario. it does allow police a lot more powers. and they have a lot of support. and we also heard from prime minister justin trudeau, who also made it very clear that these protests will end. the challenge is how to make sure these protests end and that goods can move freely but to do so in a way that keeps everyone safe. nada: you are watching "bbc world news america." still to come on tonight's program, russia defends a teenager figure skater despite a failed drug test, but could she be frozen out of the winter olympics? ♪ nada: the director general of the world health organization is in south africa where he saw firsthand the work being done in the country to combat coronavirus. our african health correspondent tells us more. >> today's press conference was quite happy seeing the work african scntists have been able to do, number one, when he visited the company. he was able to be the team of scientists and make their own version similar to bitterness covid-19 vaccine, so he was very hap

ontario's announcement this morning is responsible and necessary. we will continue working alongside all partners to get the situation under control. this morning, i had a direct call with president biden to talk about our shared challenges at the border. i updated him on the situation, particularly in windsor. we discussed the american and indeed the global influences on the protest. we talked about the u.s.-based flooding of the 911 phone lines in ottawa, presence of u.s. citizens in the blockades, and the impact of foreign money to fund this illegal activity. resident biden and i both agreed that for the security of the people and the economy, these blockades cannot continue. so make no mistake, the border cannot and will not remain closed. i want to remind everyone that politicians don't direct police in a democratic society but i can assure you the rcmp is working with local police departments to enforce the law. everything is on the table because this unlawful activity has to end and it will end. of course, i cannot say too much more now as to

the local police have been buoyed up by the ontario provincial police, the provincial police force, by the royal canadian mounted police, their tactical unit has arrived, and so we know that they're massing hundreds of police officers to be able to evict these protesters should that be required, and as i'm saying right now, they're not leaving on their own, the injunction is in effect, it is nighttime right now, there's a party atmosphere here. many of the people who are here aren't part of the camped out protest. many of the people here are from the community. but the main camped out protest consists of trucks, pick—up trucks, cars, people who are sleeping here and who are in here and have been here since the very beginning. the big question is — will the police move in, and when will they move in? and we can obviously see dozens of people behind you at the moment, sean. what's a significant of the area you're in at the moment? well, the area we're in is just at the canadian end of the ambassador bridge. this is the most important crossing in north america. trade between canada an

the court order follows a pledge by the premier of ontario to bring the situation to an end. we're now two weeks into the siege of the city of ottawa. i call it a �*siege�* because that's what it is. it's an illegal occupation. to those who have chosen to take a city ofi million people hostage for the past two weeks, to those who have attempted to disrupt our way of life by targeting our lifeline for food, fuel and goods across our borders, to those trying to force a political agenda through disruption, intimidation and chaos, my message to you is this. you are right to make a political statement. it does not outweigh the right of hundreds of thousands of workers to earn their living. today, i'm using my authority as premier of ontario to declare a state of emergency in our province, and i will convene cabinet to use legal authorities to urgently enact orders that will make crystal clear it is illegal and punishable to block and impede the movement of goods, people and services along critical infrastructure. a prison term or a fine of up to cad$100,000 are said to be amon

, ontario state has declared the state of emergency of the truck is processed as paralyzed, the capital locked trade and the with united states. ontario's government is threatening steep fines and jail sentences and less drivers and their blockade processors. want the canadian government to scrap vaccine mandates for truck drivers. the 1st curve 19 vaccine manufacturing plant on the african continent is opening it. cape town of oxidation programs around the world have delivered more than 10000000000 doses. supplies in africa have been lagging hugely behind. one reason is a lack of vaccine supply, but this could now be about to change. the w corresponded address, increase report, a replica of the more diana vaccine, that is what the m r and a vaccine have for africa is trying to produce. they were hoping for a technology transfer with would dana, but that hasn't happened. that's why and collaboration with south african universities and institutions. they made their own vaccine using information available in the public domain. it's under jenna as not committed to technology trans that hit

toyota says it will be able to manufacture vehicles and ontario for the rest of the week. general motors has canceled multiple shifts at its plant in michigan due to heart shortages. so this protest is less than a week old and already is causing deep pain to at least one global industry. it's hard to overstate the historical significance of what we're watching right here. the canadian trucker convoy is the single most successful human rights protest in a generation. if nothing else, it has been a very useful reminder to our entitled ruling class the working class man can be pushed, but only so far. when they push back, it hurts. it turns out that truck drivers are more important to a country's future than say diversity consultants or even an msnbc contributor. new. the white house has no interest in knowing. according to the associated press tonight, the bike demonstration is "urging" the trudeau government to use its federal powers to stop this protest. to end the protest. in other words, crush them by force. politico is reporting that biden officials are coordinating wit

a judge in windsor, ontario, issuing an injunction, ordering the removal of protesters. the move comes after ontario declared a state of emergency for the entire province, threatening fines of up to $100,000 and jail time if they don't move out. >> your right to make a political statement does not outweigh the rights of a million people in ottawa to live free of harassment in their own homes. >> reporter: the blockade at the ambassador bridge now in its fifth day. halting crucial auto parts from crossing that automakers immediately need. toyota now saying this has led to a “periodic downtime” at engine plants in west virginia and alabama, and factories in kentucky. today, president biden once again speaking with prime minister trudeau. >> the president expressed his concern that the united states -- that united states companies and workers are experiencing serious effects including slowdowns in production, shortened work hours, and plant closures. >> reporter: michigan's governor says she's willing to do whatever it takes to help. >> this is quickly turning into a ho

here is ontario's premier doug ford. he announced today that instead of lifting his useless mandates, he's going to steal the truckers money, find them, and send them to jail. >> there will be consequences for these actions. and they will be severe. we've already started by going after the money funding the illegal occupation. yesterday an ontario court granted our request to freeze the funds for the convoy. fines for noncompliance will be severe with a maximum penalty of $100,000 and up to a year imprisonment. we will also provide additional authority to consider taking away the personal and commercial licenses of anyone who doesn't comply with these orders. >> tucker: when you start making threats like that, you've already lost. what you are showing is that you are impotent and that is why you are unreasonable. that is why you are hysterical. when you start stealing things from people, outside of the law, speaking of the law, everybody knows you are weak. keep in mind that truckers raise $10 million on gofundme, a cali

between the auto plants in michigan in the auto plants in ontario. the department of homeland security did offer aid to the canadians if they need it, in clearing those bridges out. but, so far, we don't know what's involvement u.s. authorities have right now. what we do know is that, moments ago, we saw images of police from numerous agencies walking in an orderly fashion, supported by armored vehicles, toward the trucking convoy. at some point, i don't know what that looks like when they get there. whether they'll ask them to leave or whether they'll take action. one of the problems is, when people don't move their trucks, you have to tow them. and a number of tow truck companies and ontario have told police that they have been threatened, that if they get involved in telling these trucks they will face same kind of a problem. you are looking at a picture there, in the distance of the ambassador bridge, it does go between canada and the united states. it is the biggest of dozens of crossings between canada and the united states, meaning it's the mo

they are just annoying people. >> so in the letter to the prime minister and the premiere of ontario, you wrote, quote, we must do everything in our power to take back the streets of ottawa. that's something the prime minister echoed by declaring, this afternoon, that everything is on the table to end blockades. if they refuse to go, will these people be forcibly removed? >> well, that's one of the things t things that is on the table. our police service have been trying to negotiate with headers. the leadership is a bit scattered as you can well imagine in these kind of protests. but the bottom line, we would like to see a deescalation and a -- you know, a civil way of leaving, safe way of leaving the site because we have to go in and clean up. it's turning into a bit of a dump where -- bonfires and barbecues and everything else. the time is to -- my opinion and many other people in our city and polling has said this -- you know what? you made your point. it is time to move on. >> does the city even have enough law enforcement available for an operation to move them? or would it requ

ford for having taken measures in ontario. but what we've done today will allow us either to do something here in ottawa or at the borders or elsewhere or through our financial services in canada. it will help us unblock the streets. how? because this applies across canada, and under such an act we can do so. we cannot do so through provincial legislation. follow-up question, yes, minister, what if the province does not want you to apply these measures in their province. can they ask to be excluded from them? answer, no, under the act, and in fact, the act was drafted by the conservatives in 1988. we have the duty to consult provinces, which we did. of course, we will continue to collaborate with provinces, which we have done, and we will continue to do. but once a national emergency has been declared, these measures apply across the whole country. one last question on the telephone. just a quick follow-up. obviously these rules apply across canada. but the tools that we are offering, the measures we will use will not be appli

with a vital trade route interrupted, the province of ontario declared a state of emergency on friday that brought in penalties like heavy fines and possible jail time for those participating in the blockades. that came into force hours later, alongside a court—granted injunction to remove the protesters. it took just day for the blockade on the ambassador bridge to put a squeeze on supply chains and cause anger on both sides of the border. it's an economic link between the us and canada. hundreds of millions of dollars in trade cross the border there each day. copycat protests in europe and around the world have sprung up in recent weeks, with supporters calling for an end to covid—19 restrictions. this is a grassroots people with their children and their grandparents and parents coming together saying, "hey, you know, like, my rights and my freedoms are being infringed and denied here." drop the mandates, we go home. 15 minutes, we're gone. facing growing pressure from the white house at home, prime ministerjustin trudeau made this vow on friday. so, make no mistake, the border

ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity. >>> we are looking here at the windsor ontario side of the ambassador bridge, which as you know is a busy link with detroit and a vitelal one to the automotive industry on both sides of the border. under a judge's order demonstrators blocking the bridge, and again you can see them there, were supposed to clear out. windsor police are now warning that violators will face criminal charges, but no sign yet as you can see the order is being complied with. the protesters right there remain. the same goes for the canadian capital, ottawa. that's despite premier doug ford declaring a state of emergency and ottawans generally losing patience with the idle trucks and honking horns for the past two weeks. mayor watson, as we mentioned you've declared a state of emergency in ottawa and called this protest, quote, the most serious emergency our city has ever faced. what's the situation looking like as you head into the weekend? >> well, unfortunately, the weekends tend to draw more people to the site where the protest is taking place, which is right in f

ontario's vexing passport system. i have accepted these recommendation today's announcement is no because of what is happening in ottawa or windsor but despite it. >> i asked katie fraser about the measures justin trudeau is introducing. >> this emergencies act was created in the 1980's. this legislation has not been invoked before in canada. so it is hard to try to figure out what exactly trudeau is going to attempt. this replaced a war of measures act in the 1980's. this measure is temporary, only for urgent and critical situations that seriously endanger people's lives. he does need to work with the provincial leaders on this. it gives special powers to the prime minister and leaders, but what exactly that like is not entirely clear. >> but i am assuming there is support for this. doug ford has been outspoken about the protesters, the blocking of trade routes. it has been devastating for canada. >> here in windsor, ontario, there has been a terrible blockade. protesters have blocked the entrance to the ambassador b

they have said they don't want it used in their provinces. meanwhile, the canadian province of ontario is rolling back many of his restrictions in an apparent concession to the nationwide freedom convoy movements the regional premier has announced that compulsory vaccine checks will be dropped from the 1st of march over the weekend. i received recommendations from doctor more on a plan to safely reopen our economy and remove ontario's vaccine passport system. i've accepted these recommendations and so today i can announce that beginning on february 17th, we will remove all capacity limits, except for sporting events, concert venues and theaters, which will be cap of 50 percent. now to flesh out this story, we're joined to live now by freedom convoy ontario organizer jason la fos. welcome to the program jason and now just in trudeau has in vote to the emergency acts which is for quotes urgent and critical situations. this is the endanger, the lives health or safety of canadians. what's the reaction to this latest move? i think he's a coward. do not. let's be honest here. everybody aroun

or despite the partial easing in ontario, prime minister just intruder, always maintaining his tough line on the freedom convoy, is expected to invoke the emergencies act, given the government extra powers, to quote the unrest. this comes after police arrested 11 people at a protest in alberta and forcefully removed activists from border crossing in ontario. we spoke to a church pastor in ottawa who's been involved in the protests. he thinks there's no justification for cracking down on the movement. so he's going to invoke the emergency act for the greatest winter festival and canadian history, or what's he talking about? well, i think we can look out at that, the majority of canadians are on the side of the moving freedom movement. because at this point to go has 16 percent support in the polls, which we all know isn't a lot. it's going to, it keeps on diminishing as he forcefully acts against his own citizens, against the people that voted him in it is it, i don't think much will change because the more the more he presses to people, the more it confirms that they are standing up

an injunction has come into force in the canadian province of ontario to end days of protests at a major crossing with the us. but large numbers of people are reported to be still at the ambassador bridge which connects canada with the us. police have been handing out leaflets that outline the penalties protesters will face under a state of emergency declared by ontario. i've been speaking to the mayor of windsor, drew dilkens, who told us that some of the impact these protests were having and what the next moves would be. they started rolling through many communities including ours. the protests were peaceful, they kept moving traffic towards the busiest border crossing in north america, continued to flow. it was by surprise at all of a sudden it came to a halt. it became very problematic immediately, the impact was material because we are talking about $400 million a day in trade that crosses at one border crossing.- trade that crosses at one border crossing. what wider im acts border crossing. what wider impacts are _ border crossing. what wider impacts are these _ border crossing. wh

you have now, though, a state of emergency in the state of ontario, the province of ontario, in canada, which is right across from detroit, and it is now rippling across the border to affect the auto industry on both sides of the border. what willjustin trudeau, the prime minister of canada, do? they are already talking about the possibility of striking down more forcefully, perhaps bringing more police, maybe even military in, to clear this way, but it was mr trudeau himself, when, in india, farmers were blocking roads into new delhi, he was the one who said, "canada would always support free, nonviolent opinion," so he really has something tricky on his hands, as will other governments if other lorry drivers follow suit around the world. always interesting to see how governments manage those competing interests. and, clive, your pick? i would keep an eye on kamila valieva, i the russian olympic committee figure skater — not russia, _ because russia is banned — - an amazing skater for that age. she was part of the winning group team for the russian _ olympic committee. | earlier t

on the ontario side, the provinces declared a state of emergency. and the nation's prime minister is wanting of severe consequences, though many say it's a crisis of just into those own making. if you join the protest, because you're tired of the coven, you now need to understand. you are breaking laws. the consequences are becoming more and more severe. the deliberate politicization of the pandemic is undermined to trust in our public health institutions and his damage to national unity. a prime minister's opportunism has created 2 classes of canadians, canadians now watch as the rest of the world moves forward ending mandates and removing restrictions. while our government has no clear plan to do the same, the prime minister has intentionally stigmatized and divided canadians for political gain. the prime minister has stopped basing his decisions on science. he's now basing them on political science, doing whatever it takes to save his own political skin. when will canadians have a clear plan to end the mandates year? the movement started back in

so i mean to certainly green just in judo and doug ford and ontario and la go in quebec . they're going to act based on the polls. and i mean, that's just a natural part of party politics. david, i'm a carry, bowman, and man, and go to i really appreciate your insight. thank you very much indeed and thank you to for watching, you can see the program i got any time by visiting our website, al jazeera dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page, that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha, i sorry. you can also join the conversation on twitter a 100. it's as ha inside story from the house on the entire team here. into how bye for now. ah and britain's beloved curry houses are in crisis. 2 in the dawn is shut down every week . use of rex it financial fraud, and the pad in $1.00 0, $1.00 east investigates on al jazeera egypt, strong man is ruling with an iron fist and the silence from his allies is deafening . for us was perfectly happy to trade off tomorrow for see for security. why are western leaders turning a blind eye when even their own citizens have fallen vic
