Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is declaring a state of emergency to give the city more flexibility to deal with ongoing protests that have overwhelmed local resources.

In a brief release, the city says the decision reflects the “serious danger and threat to the safety and security of residents” from protesters encamped through much of the downtown core.

The city’s release noted those powers could help purchase equipment required by frontline workers and first responders. The release also says the decision underlines the need for support from upper levels of governments.

Earlier Sunday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the province has backed Ottawa during the nine-day protest that critics have branded an occupation. “While we cannot direct the police, we have provided the City of Ottawa everything they have asked for and will continue to provide whatever support they request,” Ford said in a tweet.

FIFA, UEFA suspend Russia from international soccer

GENEVA (AP) - Russian teams were suspended Monday from all international soccer, including qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup, as Moscow was pushed toward pariah status in sports after its invasion of Ukraine.World soccer body FIFA and European authority UEFA banned Russian national and clubs teams from their competitions "until further notice." Russia’s men’s national team had been scheduled to play in World Cup qualifying playoffs in just three weeks’ time."Football is fully united here and in full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine," FIFA and UEFA said in a joint statement.RELATED: Russia-Ukraine updates: What to know as Ukrainian troops resist advance on key citiesThe high-level punishment involving sports and politics — not seen for decades — came after the International Olympic Committee pushed dozens of sports governing bodies to exclude Russian athletes and officials from international events. The IOC said this was needed to "protect the integrity of global sports competitions and for the safety of all the participants."Denying Russia a place on the international stage should deliver a financial and psychological blow to the country, along with tarnishing its image as an elite sports powerhouse.FIFA’s move excluded Russia from the World Cup ahead of qualifying playoff on March 24.

That’s everybody’s goal.”“But there are scenarios that may have to evolve where the police will have to escalate and use force to start arresting individuals and removing vehicles that are blocking the area,” Bordeleau added.“That is a scenario that presents some significant risks and consequences that people need to be able to really willingly accept.” Ottawa police vow ‘surge and contain’ response to trucker convoy ‘occupation’ All eyes are on Ottawa’s current police chief, Peter Sloly, as the demonstrations enter their ninth day.Ottawa police services board chair Diane Deans called a special meeting of the board for 4:30 p.m.
