the, the, this is the, the, the news coming to live from berlin, your opinion agrees, press sanctions on russia, the death of this and, and alex the body as pressure to impose new steps to punish the kremlin. we look at whether previous sites are slowing rushes economy also coming up. the un security council proves moves rather to force and then to the fighting and gaza. but the us block. so resolution calling for an immediate truce as china and other nations criticize us be the washington proposes it's phone ceasefire resolution for the 1st time plus honoring a giant,

the silver spring in the berlin film festival pay special tribute to director martin scorsese on the screen legend is not done making hollywood history yet. the hello and terry martin, thanks for joining us. got some breaking news coming in this hour. the e u has agreed to a 13th round of sanctions against russia. last week's death, the russian dissident, alexei, nevada, and the in detention added pressure to punish the crime and beyond those measures already in place. the decision comes on the eve of the 2nd anniversary of moscow's invasion of ukraine. or for more of this, we've got our correspond it loosely, a schultz and a standing by in brussels. lucy, it, we've got an agreement in brussels on more sanctions against russia. what have you?

cites agreed on. yes. so we have an agreement, in principle by the european union member states invested or on the surgeons package of sanctions against russia. in this package, it has not been published yet, but in this package, what we know so far are new listings of nearly 200 and individuals and also states. and they are also cert and measures for seen to prevent the so called sanction. so convention, which means that your opinion, sanctions would be rendered ineffective. and they all, it's a set of measures for seen for the details. we will have to wait until the dist actually published. this is expected to go relatively quickly. now there really there's a need to be signed off of this new package and then it will be published in time for the 24th of february. so as you know, hungry had threatened to veto the sanctions. any new sanctions but hungry is

obviously on board. now how does that come about here? so hungary has said before that it is the scrutinizing the sanction package. and then we heard and in the last space from the gary and said they would not love the rito even though they think that the essential package is bad for the blocks economy and india. and they have kept their promise to not block it. and this is why the, you invested us could decide upon it today. such say that these you sanctions aren't really doing much of the, they're just a drop in the bucket. does this, you believe that it's sanctions are really having the desired effect. given that mosque is economy seems to be doing rather well. so the european union has been setting out a number of sanctions here since the beginning of the russian invasion in ukraine, and they certainly believe that they're hitting the russian economy. this is,

this new sanction package is, as i've said, there are 200 new listings on this or like nearly 200 new listings on this. and to put this a bit into perspective, they have already been 1950 listings before. so this, it's up to over 2000 new listings, but indeed critique say that these news and sanctions package might be rather symbolic, as they are no really d a mattress that could impact the russian economy at this stage, which here thank you very much. bring this up date there that was our correspondent, lucy shilton in brussels. so what might new sanctions accomplish while the european union has already taken multiple steps to weaken moscow's ability to wage war and ukraine? here's a look at how russia's economy is faring under the penalties already in place. the

defense industry is currently the most important pillar of the russian economy. thanks to significantly increased government spending, the defense industry accounts with 10 percent of g d, p. all the sectors such as the steel industry, also benefiting off to the slump in 2022. the russian economy is now growing. according to data from mosca. cross is also full cost for 2024 plus cut pass this message english. what's the, what's happening? what's the brochure is actually what i'm running late, becoming more like the soviet union in that it has high spending on the military and in some cases heavy industry. and at the same time the level of consumption is holding for the population. people say the cycle spots. industrial production is also doing surprising. the well, for example, in the automotive sector, components are increasingly coming from china,

off to the europeans, withdrew from russia, thanks to chinese impulse, the russian economy is being kept afloat. she never takes that tradition is china, or is of course not officially participating in the sanctions. so it is not a partner, so to speak of western states when it comes to sanctions. since i'm feeling good to finance impulse, russia needs export income from gas sales. these are full and dramatically at times . the use extensive impulse band seems to have had an effect. tapping into a new customers with new pipelines is only a partial substitute. volume ever simple the. with the 5 lines of phase i define the when you compare them full wanted to finalize conference board, the to, to the you or conference both to, to china and even the new infrastructure of projects. like all else, i give you a to us 1000000000. the funds stayed the however, oil sales rushes 2nd most important source of export revenue almost as good as

before the war and ukraine. this is despite you sanctions. i am just enforcing a price cap of $60.00 us dollars a barrel transportation of oil. um probably are violating that because so there is a week i'm for as many to on the side of it is there is also a shadow trading uh where you know all the is uh, uh, discharged. uh, and the charge of the on another bus or the overseas uh more and more oil is ending up in india. its most important oil supply is no russia. nevertheless, rushes growth is partly finance don't credits, including military spending. how long computing actually a forward to do this? this come with the guns it's. i can write that for quite a while. i'd have to brush i had a very low deb leveled at the beginning of the war. it still has a low debt level even now. actually send russia does not look set to run out of

money to finance the war and ukraine. any time soon? it's been almost 2 years now since russia's full scale invasion of ukraine began just how many civilians have been killed since that is a known. but it's thought to be in the 10s of thousands, in the early months of the war, the russian air force bomb to theater in the port city of mario poll. ukraine says $300.00 people, including many children, died there, but russia claims the theater was blown up by the ukrainian as of regiment without providing any evidence. following months more than 60 people were killed in the eastern city of crowd of tourists when miss house struck a railway station. their russian authorities again with a blame on ukraine as the w, as much sound and now reports from khaki. these 2 incidents were just the beginning of a bloody and lengthy conflict with no end inside. or do you remember this is been viral after a russian attack on

a residential area in hockey survivors, the steering and what remained of their home. the russians said they had hit a chemical weapons factory. they said the couple were paid actors. honest us here, off try to in go and her daughter body. and i say that's ridiculous to tell us. they left their apartment minutes before the impact dental stuff, and the video with her husband followed the man she didn't want to join us for the interview. so the some of that when i said is video. now, of course it's not a plan video. it's about supporting each other for someone to think about when we realized everything we had was lying there on file. it's actually a very sad moment. but let's hope we can achieve victory before the russians could make more missiles and destroy our homes and lives their apartment was on the side of the building that was directly hit. all that's

left is the quarter to 10 of their neighbors died, including an 8 year old girl for the most of our apartment, just got it here here and here it was the top one and the 1st to be hit. many things were thrown out is causing the saddle love every time a siren goes off my legs shake because it's scary because you don't know what's going to happen with sonya. what's the question of safety in the country that is being boned is a very uncomfortable question. in my opinion, there is no place where you can hide me. i'll go with me. said that the worst, columbus across town, another site of recent russian destruction. the hockey's palace hotel managed to keep running through most of the war. it was at hub for foreign journalists. we've often stayed here ourselves. a director all hostile ankle takes us inside a missile hit on the day before new year's eve looking at the damage. it's

difficult to believe no one died here, not even the person working out the gym to the total cubic human 12 years we've been in hockey. and it's been a place for all significant celebrations, children's birthdays, weddings, business meetings. and we go used to the fact that there was always a lot of peaceful people here who considered this place to be a landmark for social events and for goods. peaceful intentions stuck on the seat, would be the wellness needed. 15 guests were staying at the hotel at the time, the people wanting to celebrate the new year, and still many of the new kind of guests. so what was the list that would journalists from all of the wells? i sure. i think we had become a hub for those people who needed to show you the whole well, what was happening within someone city? for sure. sure. the, the why the russians claim the hotel was used as a hall by military personnel,

but never provided proof. we never saw soldiers here during our stays. you all know most of what you like on explain their actions. i think it's absurd, absurd, destroying, civilian buildings, civilian facilities, hospitals. i believe that this is unacceptable. i can damage the filter. she shows us a video from the beginning of the more international journalist here in the lobby and the local pianist waiting to invite this musician to visit us again, who's become a close friend of ours. that will definitely be music here again. and people and life. good will try it out for the evil the plan is to repair the hotel and reopen as soon as possible. many wars begin and are justified with lies. the russian attack and ukraine is no difference

. marina anastasio overnight, jane goes home, never existed. according to the russian narrative. it says none of this is real. i wore it only twice. the women know better than that, but all that is left now. our memories, spanish police say they believe the body of a man shot dead in the garage of an apartment building and la county is that of a russian pilot who defected to ukraine. it is our comforter last year. he was found dead last week in the spanish resort, where he is believed to have been living. maxime cruise, mean office, had said that opposition to the war was what made him leave russia. he reportedly also received around half a $1000000.00 to do so. the garage of an apartment building you now to come to a with the body of a man was discovered riddled with bullet holes and run over by

a vehicle local police fast or to was a ukrainian citizen. but now, believe it could be the body of russian helicopter pilot maxine chrisman of the law . so we'll knock was doing cuz let's get up louder cuz i want to clarify that it's a case under investigation so we can provide more information yet. we have to wait until the police and i want to do that. what so the investigation can progress and just be left in a long no suspects of being identified chrisman of defective to ukraine last year and a complex operation with their intelligence. it was seen as a crew for ukraine, but it also made him a target for the kremlin, my old or the mission of stevens a, was a history of the russian intelligence agency is going off to the fact us, uh, its, unfortunately, it's reflects abroad a big jump, that's a valid russian that there isn't such as just always trying to make it blind to

that they can get to you whenever you are. last august, cause middle, if we're supposed to be flying, a russian military helicopter to transfer parts the fight to jets. instead he flew across and to be lines and non to didn't ukraine. his 2 fellow pilots were killed. ukrainian intelligence released this footage of what they say is the helicopter. coming off, he used to fly to crane and an interview with him, explaining why he chose to leave a of murder tiers, blood people just killing each other. so that's the thing. i don't understand what i didn't want. cause meant off move to spain, some ukraine the kremlin says it has no information about the case. but according to russian state, news agency task for an intelligence had already branded cause men of a moral corpse. so just texting us has vetoed an arrow

back resolution in the un security council, demanding a cease fire in the war between is real and him us, which is labeled a terrorist organization in many countries. china and even us ally, france criticized washington for blocking the resolution. the 3rd time u. k. of stains in about 1213 voted in favor. us instead proposed its own plan. the new american draft resolution calls for a temporary cease fire linked to the release of hostages held by a months are still, which is what china investor had to say about washington's veto. it was the veto exercised by the united states that stifled council consensus. maybe the us veto sent the wrong message, pushing the situation in gaza into more dangerous territory. that can be. james taylor is our correspondent and ty pay. he gave us some insight on trying his position regarding the us in dollars of split. of course, it's important to look at what china is statement is getting out here through the

lens of gray par conversation. the paging is engaged with, with washington in multiples phase around the wealth. web aging seems to be in fair in here is that washington can no longer be viewed as the, the sole kind of responsible leader of the international community. and especially that when it comes to issues of grace, humanitarian concern that the us can no longer be trusted. as a model authority, this is something that, of course, beijing, and she seems to propagate in many spheres around the wells, and particular here in the, in the pacific. when you look at us policy with various countries around the age of pacific, for example, expanding bit of trans high's wage upon or the philippines, what china are and pushing back against washington. james in these parts of the world tries to get across. is it washington is never really, i think in the interest of those countries that it's entering partnerships with the is solely kind of balancing and its own interest. and i think which one is looking to do here. while we all takes all quite bought a course washington, the only country voting against the ceasefire proposal is to make the case once

again, as it has been in multiple arena's around the world, the u. s. can no longer really be trusted to be the singular authority when it comes to grave issues of universal rights invitation each amount of hiring issues. so china is saying that the us is operating only in its own interest. but what about china itself? cuz economically and diplomatically, john has been getting more and more involved in the middle east. it's repeatedly called for a ceasefire and gaza without explicitly condemning demoss terror attacks of october . some where do beijing's interest lie in this conflict in it around gaza? when of course, paging is a started for you, i express position so to of a relatively kind of pro palestinian that's because of what staging cause it's a empty colonial stones, but it's important to points out of course, despite what i've just said about the us sense um, the position that kind of is entered into in, in voting against this proposal. the paging really hasn't been putting forth any

kind of concrete diplomatic proposals of it's ongoing to, to, to kind of find a solution. and the way out of this crisis, of course, that was really expected actually given me so that china was looking to, to take on a more active role in the middle east, brokering that piece agreement between the wrong and saudi arabia in march last year. but we know we, we really can't expect um, you know, the, the leadership of different mounting leadership from china hasn't really come. china really is looking to act in his own interest, a big oil interest off of its origin. ports come from the middle east and of course, big trading relationship with many countries in the middle east. and those trading roads which have come on the far from, from here the rebels and the red sea china looking to to make a which is to the wrong. so it's a rain and the hearing fees when it comes to that issue as well. james, thank you. very much that was our course on a james traitor in taipei, which is a look at a few other stories making headlines. de russia has banned the us funded broadcast

or radio free europe radio liberty, designating it a quote in undesirable organization. it is the latest outlet to be targeted by the gremlins crackdown on free media, which stepped up after its invasion of ukraine. full scale invasion began, who is the cause? the mother of russian opposition liter, alexa, nevada, and the says made a direct appeal to vladimir putin for her son's body to be released. of all he was declared dead last friday. i decide bury in prison billing, but according to a spokeswoman for his family of russian investigators, his remains won't be returned for another 14 days is short. thoughts about this? really airstrikes has hit the residential area in the sear in the syrian capital, damascus. that's according to state media reports say at least 2 people have died after several marseilles cause damage in the neighborhood of file to send that the israel has not commented on the obligation. yes,

i'm the jimmy and police in india have fired tear gas and protesting farmers as thousands of them were preparing for their march to deli, 4 rounds of talks with the central government of so far failed. the farmers form a major building block in india and their anger could impact national elections due in a few months time to pakistan now which could be about to get a new government. nearly 2 weeks after elections of sol, widespread accusations of boat ringing and fraud. the largest party was banned from taking part. its candidates ran to get instead is independence. they came in 1st but fell short of the majority that left the door open for pakistan's other parties . i shared with you and examined x resolved things. bucket stands for this to go dumb way. 2 of the countries, 3 major parties see they have put aside the differences and they're willing to form a coalition, the nominating up on it because britain, former prime minister ship boss should have to run the government,

can share with you. okay. i can share with you that the pakistan people's party and the muslim league now was have been necessary numbers now. and god willing, we will be able to work on forming a government, try that, that i felt a little bit on getting certain launches on. the lines comes often in the election that fee to produce a clear window candidates backed by the p d. i. 40 of do the former prime minister and gone hon. one more sports. but did we correlation adults with other major parties? the beat the i is bleeding waterfront for the poor are showing. and clean stuff were gone for several of the seats was many polluted that joe say slug is a p t i is calling what was done to our party, the mother of all rigging model on that a given declared government,

we reject this results in the strongest terms sports subjects go to the b b, i has accused the military dumpling with the vote account, an indication boxes on the opponent. these have denied bpi. candidates are now flooding courts challenge $0.30 and it's not on the p. d. i that accuses afford many pollution in the southern st. brogans housings that protesting against what they believe was evict election. the envelope just on in the southwest this sit in is old. so again, alleged phone thinking, what? because what they say, unfortunately, what happened on february 8th was not an election, but a selection. it was a massively rigged election. actually some of them with what were demanding is that we be given the correct to election result least game with the big to a am. it is the for many these accusations damage the legitimacy of should each
