president, let me put in, has accused the west of trying to louis came into war with ukraine. and his 1st public comments, emily, 6 weeks food and said he hopes the solution can be reached to deescalate the crisis . but he says the us and its allies have ignored russia's concerns of the nato expansion eastwood's. the west has accused the kremlin, meanwhile, are putting to invade ukraine with tens of thousands of soldiers massed on in florida station to store grain a. let's imagine that ukraine is a member of nato stuffed with, with modern strikes system. the same as in poland and romania who will stop. and what if it starts operations in the crimea? i'm not even talking about the don bass. this is sovereign russian territory. just go to the war a challenge. he's standing by for us in london. but 1st, let's go to the dosage of barry in moscow doors. a person says this still a chance for diplomacy. so are there any signs of de escalation from the russian
4:15 pm
camp? well, according to officials here, they are not the ones that are, are creating this crisis. so they're still open to very much dialogue and diplomacy . that's been the position here all along the russian president. it saying that the united states is using ukraine to oh, for pressure russia. and that the demand said that the russians have been making about security guarantees from nato in the u. s. they have been absolutely ignored when it comes to the primary ag guarantees that they're looking for. vladimir putin said that the response they received from the u. s. government last week basically has ignored the main key demands that the russians have made. and of course, those, the man's includes that nato, it does not expand any further and that it goes back to the 1997 levels of membership when it was just 16 countries, it is now a 30 member alliance. and that is a cause for concern here. the russian president also said that a, this solution is
4:16 pm
a possible but it's very difficult to figure out at this moment what that solution could be. but despite all that, he said that some russia is open to continuing that the pa matic path. and on wednesday, we expect him to speak to his british counterparts on the phone bars. johnson and the kremlin is just that that, that phone conversation will take place later on wednesday evening. the russian president has said that what they're asking for is well within their right because it is a matter of security and national security for this country. and when it comes to the troops build up that the west is accusing russia of alongside his border with ukraine. russians, officials have said that they're simply carrying out military drills, and there is a lot of military post that are permanently stationed alongside this country's western borders. so this rhetoric coming from the united states is really creating this hysteria, and there's absolutely nothing to be concerned about when it comes to russia's intentions with ukraine. and the president putting reiterated that position on his
4:17 pm
head during his press conference with the hon. garrett prime minister. ok, thank you very much. don't jabar live for us in moscow. and rory, let's bring you in narrow re challenge live for us in london as we heard from door . so u. k prime minister has a fun co share, jude with the russian president lighted today. what more can you tell us about that? well, it shows that diplomacy is still active. these leaders, these countries are still talking to each other. that's a good thing. obviously, whether or not this one phone call will move the dial any appreciable amounts. well, we'll have to wait and see, but certainly the russians have indicated in the last few days now. and so that they don't really have that much respect for british diplomacy. at the moment, and certainly you can imagine vladimir putin and his staff and the criminal looking at bar johnston's current. domestic was and having a good old chuckle to themselves about it. certainly,
4:18 pm
it's not the kind of situation that you can imagine about in a person with his tight control over the course of the media and the police ever allowing himself to get into. but what's the u. k. position on all of this? well, you know, it has as always, a mixture of values and interests, the values all that it wants to show that it is standing up for a democratic country, ukraine, against the aggression as it might be of an authoritarian one, russia. it also wants to show that the u. k. it's post breakfast states is a leader of the free world and can take a firm grasp of the international spirit. there are interests as well. the u. k. wants to bolster its relations with the united states. it wants to bolster its relations with countries in europe. i. poland. he cried, of course and the baltic states, and we can listen now. subarus johnson earlier expressing some of these positions.
4:19 pm
we stand with the people of ukraine and we stand for the sovereign and territorial integrity. of ukraine at a very difficult time because there are other voters, the credits, everybody knows about 125000 russian troops. matching the situation is, is very perilous. and the job of the u. k. is to lead the west in bringing together the most important countries in creating a package of economic sanctions that will deter president putin from what i believe would be a disastrous miscalculation. now, the range of course, domestic lens that you can look at all of this through, you can say that boris johnson, beset by scandal and political threats at home, is really leaning into an international crisis to try and distract from his, his domestic was. there's also another way that you can look at what's going on. now the potential conflict of interest that the u. k. has its dealings with russia,
4:20 pm
russian money, reddish russian oligarchy, wealth flows through the city of london. it really greases the cogs of the financial machinery. here the way that legal firms and accountants see firms go about a lot of russian clients. and that has been a problem in british politics for quite some time. and it's a problem that hasn't really been suitably address yes. and it will continue to have an impact on the way the russia and the united kingdom treat each other. plenty of moving parts to the story. thank you very much for an update. worry challenger live for us in london. to other world news. now an american fighter jets and a warship being sent to the united arab emirates following miss all attacks by the rebels in yemen. the 3rd miss l attack in 2 weeks was intercepted on monday and the you a is part of the saudi led mission at wall in yemen. some

4:31 pm
says there's no indication russia is ready to take action that you're paying commission is being accused of what's been described as green washing. because if it's proposals to classify gas and nuclear investments as sustainable, the commission argues gas and nuclear power plants can bridge the energy gap. while coal fired electricity stations is shut down. but some countries say, investment should be directed towards colleena and green energy, such as wind and solar power. am dominic cane is following the story live for us in berlin. hello. they've dominic. what's the political significance of this sustainable classification for the ear? the issue here is that the commission has been trying to plot its way through to potentially very divergent roots that have being suggested to it. like a tug of war between on the one side, the member states of the you who think that nuclear power does have
4:32 pm
a place in the future of energy, energy generation. and then those who really don't. and those who say, well, actually there is a place for natural gas and it pitts to on the one side, the french government of president mclaren who says that there is this place for nuclear energy because it can be managed in small modular areas where the waste product can safely be stored and managed, and then the german side of things which and other member states who say natural gas is an answer. so in one sense, there is an argument that there is a little bit of what they want in this for everybody. and yet they are, i'm in the states such as the austrian sewer, so incense by this judgement. they say they're considering legal action because they don't believe nuclear power has a place. the interesting thing here in a sense of how can this be stopped if somebody wanted to, there are only 2 obvious routes. the 1st is if 20 member states out of the 27 e. u. member states were to flatly say no. the 2nd one would be if
4:33 pm
a majority of the european parliament were to say no, well, we know that the green party has considerable representation in the european parliament. so it is going to be worth watching, how things in brussels and strasburg develop. but that's the sort of political significance of, of it as it stands right now. and tell me how this may be received by berlin or here interestingly, you have almost a microcosm of that e. u side of things being played out because you have the new government here, what they call the ample coalition, the trucks, the traffic light coalition, where the central driving parties, they're the green party and the social democrats will. they really don't think nuclear is the answer. and then you have others on the other side of politics from angular miracles, parssi the former chancellor. she was the one who turned her country away from nuclear power and prioritized renewable energy and some and her party. now that
4:34 pm
she's no longer in charger, wondering when maybe we shouldn't have gone away from nuclear. so quickly. there are still a few reactors still generating power in this country, but very few and they're going to be phased out. so there will be those here who say ok, there is something in this new deal from the e u for us, but they will clearly not enjoy the idea that nuclear apparently still has a place. so a microcosm of the european idea definitely in place here in berlin too. ok, well thank you for breaking it down for us. timely cain live for us in berlin. from fresh water to 3rd security, healthy wetlands are an essential element of human survival. but it being lost at an alarming rights, making them the most threatened ecosystem on the planet disappearing 3 times faster than forests. he is me, clark, with what's at stake wetlands, and known as biological soup assistance,
