a professor jeffrey is on sale is the senior associate director at the all school of business management. i asked him if he considers these sanctions the correct response to the more in ukraine and to the death of alexi and involved uh yes, uh, great question. and tragically, great timing for your great question. it is needed. we've had various warning shots over the bell of increasingly steps sanctions, and yet there's still more that it has to be done. we alone had a lot to do with catalyzing, the historic exit of 1200 major multi nationals to leave russia. that's 6 times the retreat from south africa and protests of the apartheid regime. and there are all kinds of sanctions. of course we as we know and financial sector in some other sectors. but there is not enough. and this is going to be very effective. the price covers were, we're pretty strong, but this will do even far more represent,
8:03 pm
you know, you will certainly understand that there is a level of cynicism double among the public. this is the 13th round of sanctions that the european union has swept against russia. how many rounds of sanctions will it take to get the desired outcome as well? it'll take a lot more and it isn't like giving one weapon system. it either is going to do it . so please hope are any cynical viewers keep in mind that the, the leverage tanks from you folks, are they ever mistakes from here? aren't going to do it alone behind me. our systems weren't going to do it alone. the, the f sixteens weren't going to do it alone of the, the various kinds of a, a patriot missiles systems and things of provide protection and defense. but just like we need multiple weapons systems and other shorter and artillery. we also need a lot tighter sanctions, essentially been very effective. what your viewers have to understand is putting is
8:04 pm
concealing as economic statistics from the international monetary from the am of their own. economists have told us of the i m a and we haven't recorded that. they don't know how, how put and how the russian economy is doing. their only taking his made up propaganda has to test x and re packaging it. and put a wakes up in the morning comes up, was effect g, d, p. the russian economy is hemorrhaging. every sector is down from 60 percent and to more than 90 percent, they have 0 foreign investment going into that over a $100000000.00 a year or foreign direct investment going in there. we know that we're 3rd of their 1000000 years of floods because the economy is in, is in distress. but he's surviving exact cannibalizing industry and in and now this economy used to be 25 percent state of the state control. it's now 70 percent state controlled and use of he uses that is cookie as a cookie jar, there's no fee these mortgaging rushes future. that may be the case professor,
8:05 pm
but it doesn't change the fact that these and sanctions have not brought this more to an end. and that is what everyone is waiting to happen as well. they, they need even more. there are chips that get through their military grade. sure. trips, chips that even in a bassinger from just between we've prizes becca stand admitted to us directly against basically taped onto a refrigerator. it was in a microwave oven is household appliances. get important? is russia that are actually harvested and used for military grade uses there? there are chips coming through russia, chips coming through china, and those have to be tight and wait. they, of the oil sanctions. russia is not making money on oil. you hear about a volume of, well, their, their profits are plunged, in fact, they're producing a breakeven levels. now the, to today's financial times, reports are we said what happened 2 years ago, which is that gas problem is basically, uh,
8:06 pm
as i'm virtually out of business. nobody can buy their gas and you guys don't into use needs none of it. and they can't pivot and sell it to asia. but there is still some slip as we have. aluminum is being bought. we have billions of dollars of aluminum, $10000000000.00 as of aluminum being bought by the u. that should stop $2000000000.00 of, of a, of titanium and things that can be brought to a halt. and that's what these new sanctions will tight. and i think the sanctions it even more than a and better enforcement on, on i think some of the oil price gaps, which would help. well, i'm sure a lot of people are going to be watching to see if this round will will do the trick professor jeffrey is only that. we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you so much. here's it. look. now, some of the other stories in making headlines around the world, the united kingdom has impose sanctions on 6 members of russia's prison authority. individuals ran the arctic penal colony were alexi and of all the died last friday

8:08 pm
committee to protect journalists. i asked her what makes the conflict in jobs is so much more dangerous for journalist to report on in comparison to other conflicts. this is the w, as conflict for done this the, the committee to project on this has ever documented. we've been doing this work from all then. so 2 years mojdeh unless died in the 1st 10 weeks of the israel gauze will then have evidence. i certainly says we've been doing this work in a single country over an entire year. the intensity, the numbers is up to the unprecedented. your organization we know investigates the depths of journalists in gaza. i don't have to tell you, it's very difficult to, to verify any information that's coming out of the gaza strip. how did you make sure that the data you were collecting,
8:09 pm
that it's accurate as it is extremely difficult. the sorts of things that we would normally rely on being able to speak to families being able to speak to call. it is extremely challenging because families are being kept kind of colleagues to being killed. nevertheless, we take the same approach that we would with any other situation. we make sure that we have at least 2 sources of information for any of the john. this that we document, we speak to friends, we speak to families, we do a search online that looks up the outputs to make sure that our information is accurate as possible. and of course, it's a more information comes to lights over time, and we update our information as we guess it. what do you say to the allegations that are coming from is real, that some of these journalists are, are, are military. so mean, do you believe that? do you believe that they've actually been targeted by israeli forces?
8:10 pm
we have yet to see any credible evidence that the journalist that these really subsides, are actually militants, are actually terrorist us such last year before this was started, the committee to project done this report produce report court that'd be passed on, which looked at the killings of laws, you palestinians on this bias ready for these over the past 22 years and we found that 20 janice have been killed and, and not a single case with anyone and how the comfortable and what we so in fact was a pass and then which quite often is where i was accused done and as of being a terrorist of being militants, but never produce any evidence. and that remains the case. and this war to israel says that its army cannot guarantee the safety of journalists and how kendral is then, how can they, they do their job without risking their lots is done . everything goes, i cannot do that jobs without risking their lives. nowhere and goals are,
8:11 pm
is safe done and they so doing absolutely what we would expect jonas to do, covering a will that looking at the often loss of bombings by going to hospitals and then we see hospitals, phone, the going to refugee comes to look at the effects of displacements, those of also have been bomb. there isn't a place for dentist to be safe in the current environment, but it's absolutely imperative that we recognize that john s a civilians and must be treated as such. so it must never be targeted to the ginsburg whom we think community to protect journalists, surely we appreciate your time and your input tonight. thank you. thank you. the berlin film festival is underway here in the german capital and among the stars on the red carpet last night was one of the biggest names in sentiment. martin scorsese was presented with an honorary golden beer. that's the berlin from festivals lifetime achievement award. he was
