these things, sanctions that have been agreed by all of the key players, those sanctions, she said were target financial institutions and key industries. i think also interesting that because what you also seen in recent weeks is reinforcement of nato, poland, and the baltic states that those northern states, those, those countries near russia have seen reinforcements of nato forces. there already had been a forward operating bases in many of those nato states that have been reinforced since 2014 but it's gone on in recent weeks. she made it clear that if there was an invasion, yes, that be those sanctions, but she said they would further reinforce the east and flank suggesting they'll be even more u. s. and other nato troops going to those nato countries, the to border russia. um but i have to make. busy it clear that she's talking about

nato countries. ukraine, and that's part of this dispute is not in nato. there are no plans to send any nato forces to ukraine itself. that is something that's been ruled out both by president biden and by the in tomato lines. and james, the a lot of words, not the message of unity, but then of course there is one important element. lackey, at the conference you are right now. and that is a russian delegation. ah, yeah. russia will be watching this inc incredibly closely. so gay, love roth is normally a regular at the music security conference. this is one of the longest serving foreign ministers in the world. and this is someone he always comes and likes to come to put across the russian point of view. so i think very notable that he is not here this time. there are lots of people from lots of countries, but with regard to the speaking of the, on the crane. that pretty much speaking from the same side of the argument. and all

of them i think are all, are making the point that war will be disaster. and it is something that is causing them great, great concern at this stage and important voice coming later in the day. we're expecting speech by prisons, lensky, that when some who had urged him were told some in washington and urge them that perhaps he shouldn't come here. there's too much of a threat to his country. we understand that he is going to be speaking here. and if he does get on the stage here this afternoon, that will be a show of defiance from him. from to, to president putin. it will be interesting as we've seen, what's going on in easton ukraine. and the incident that been happening, their recent hours and the, i think, increased level of the dialogue of warnings here in music where the presidents lensky is going to change. or the asked to say, because you're aware of what he said in recent weeks, which is yes,

we are concerned, but no time to panic yet, and we don't think anything is imminent. so i will be watching very closely. ukrainian president and david james says me to bit later. james basie in munich, where russia says a president vladimir putin has started everything strategic nuclear exercises. the miniature drills include the use of ballistic cruise missiles. are the criminal denies the war gains will further inflame tension. let's go live now to tulsa, jibari and moscow also. so russia, of course, is always said that it has no intention of fighting with ukraine and still does a little while these managed jewels of gold certainly, and this is an important day for vladimir putin. of course, we heard of the news that he has given his signal to start these nuclear exercises . just before the u. s. vice president took the stage of the musica security conference. i think it's not a coincidence. of course, this was an exercise that was scheduled to take place in october,

but the defense ministry announced that they moved it up to february. and lot of mutant we understand is at a strategic center, as they've called it to oversee these drills alongside the bell, russian president, alexander lucas jenko. now the 2 men are overseeing these nuclear exercises that include all aspects of brushes, naval air force and our army. and these drills are certainly going to be on a larger scale than anything else that they usually do in terms of exercises that, of course, it's at the same time that as the russian army is in holding joint drills with the bell, russian military in beller, bruce that it dos drills are started in early february that is called allied resolve. and that was at the request of the bell russian president because he said that he felt he needed to strengthen the country's borders. and the question now is, those drills are supposed to come to an end on sunday,

february 20th whether or not some of those troops and military hardware done went from russia will actually stay there. the bella russian president had said that that is a decision he will make alongside flattery put in on friday, but we haven't had any clarification about what will happen to those troops and equipment for now. these nuclear excises are also taking place on the day that those military drills continue in belarus. all of this, of course, is being seen as another exam of russia trying to very much flex. it's military muscle on the world stage at a time when tensions remain extremely high, of course. and still the russian president adamant that diplomacy is possible. and the russians have accepted a meeting between sir gay lover of the russian foreign minister and his american counterpart anthony blanket to be held later this week. i. whether or not things will develop to a point where that meeting will actually go had remains to be seen. but for now, a lot of no's, harry drills and activities taken place in russia,

as well as beller roost at a time when things could not be really any worse between the russia and the wes or those. so thanks very much from our 3rd dosage. barry in moscow, let's get some analysis now from moscow. john is leih from marriage. it's donna's le britain who's a senior research fellow at the center post soviet studies at the russian academy of sciences. a welcome was approaching 1st, given only widespread criticism of russia's position. i'm came to hear your view as a russian of what's going on here. and what she think when you hear president biden and his defense secretary and others say that vladimir putin has made up his mind to invade you credit. so we could see a lot of prognosis and they said, show expectation, didn't russia next? they will attack ukraine in 2 days. but no, all these from noses are no finally implemented. and finally, what we see now,

green started detention with the board of the west. so, and we just see a great game around your brain and the grow them he's, there's nobody in your green and nobody in the west, in reality, doesn't care about our lives of people, a population of done baskin money for them. this is jessica leverage of racial russia and russia has been full in the same line. there is a normal legal sheesh of form. there is a rule my for a resolution of these phones that means agreement. but nobody at the west, nobody agree. i'm not going to follow these agreement because they, this is not, and they inches a crime would say that russia is responsible for escalating tensions. but let's look at it this way. if russia, if russia is not going to fight with ukraine,

president biden says it is, of course, surely a good thing in this situation. a prudent thing would be to demonstrate and make it absolutely clear that invasion is not a reality. and therefore, have a wholesale pull back from the border that would demonstrate pizza intention, wouldn't it? so it's really vice versa, again, the way is all russia and a dresser. but no, any evidence of she'll step of freshman concentration po for rushing troops along the border with the rain. this is an answer for their support of you. great, an aggression statements and the with no one evidence, no one plans to do something. and last night i started with attention we started last night just show that it was meet from ukrainian side. previously

i yuki in united states, we do the or a c observers just in order to, to, to car not to power the real source of these tension. what rush and eat are obvious information. russia are started, launch a rescue operation, children and women from the new school guns now morning to rushing territory, and this is the step which shows the trash. he's not going to fight with you playing. ok, russia. he's trying, it's not, it's not just the way i was with us running out of tons of need to jump in. there is not just the west coast, the west that is concerned about this, but also neighboring countries to russia who are deeply worried. we've heard today this morning in the last hour, so the lithuanian, 4 minutes to say that if vladimir putin is not stopped in ukraine, he will go further. and he says, that's why you see so many people buried here. in lithuania, for example of and was a little rainy and this is not

a part of negotiation process leukemia. this is not even not a border country. we that you bring, oh, why? we should listen lithuania, i don't understand or. and what about jazz? becky says that to vladimir putin may have wanted less nato and his borders, but instead he's going to have a lot more nato, a lot more units, a lot less deficient as this know, i finally got them in person. we can see weakens. we just could see that though, all wisdom ability shall. so the last for a lot is on weight and distance of february was to start afresh. liberation didn't happen. ah, all statements or so anita official southern bird. just they have the only one role to pro brush or for any aggressive steps. we cannot see any this, that no, any evidence just just blaming and blaming this is that the game with call blue russian ring. ah bill and for your brain for the west. the stalk,

non stream aggression, but not to say from not to keep the life of the people and dennis. so guns, soccer eve, nature would like to resolve the situation to even push you grain to who the allegations within then ask agreement or i will ask less less explorica wise. just want to say that if, if the status quo remains and nato and the e u stay resolute, not to exceed to the demands, not to allow nato, a allow ukraine into the nato fold. how do you see this resolving itself? how will we make sure that there is a peaceful resolution the closing ease, these stages for ease and interest, if you green for you green and for the west. this is extremely important to keep these unstable unclear situation. we the no status, no perspective for

a solution, just to keep in for any a comfort for them in communion situation, to rise tension in order to stop russia, to blame russia to just to change, to change minor western people, delegate. there is a, another war in ukraine that the best option east, the implementation means agreement. we've participation, france, germany, you, great in russia. but i don't know where the west and mckee. 0, one to do these. and unfortunately, and this is the only way, otherwise we will see the same level of tension, probably higher or lower. but without you solution of the missing will out from him, we should be interest of russia, but not interest on your grade. ok, see the same teacher, it will be stable, unstable then sion, on the border between russia and you bring an any, a situation of my,

of the start with the war because you could have been interested in a reprint rash. at misprint, you will have to leave it that they appreciate your perspective. thanks very much. indeed, at this time is left for chin. speaking just that from moscow, i still ahead herron out there, renewing a battle, thought to be one mill, always stepped up. vaccinations against polio altercation detected the 1st in africa in 5 years. oh, clearing the capital canadian police breakup truck drivers protests and arrest dozens of people. the ah look forward to burritos guys. with the sponsored play cut on airways, the snow is not finished with japan. indeed, the snow like to increase in japan. of the next 24 or the mastercard is very obvious, but the wind is still coming out of the cold interior across the water over water.

a 10 day break. the u. s. state department says substantial progress has been made . i have an agreement as possible if iran shows seriousness. only hash hm has more from vienna, where the negotiations have being health. an old reasons for being cautious with these, with this optimism, because this might be also a kind of laying the infrastructure for the blame game, just in case that talks faith. now what, what's, what's left, what's left is how to make this, the sustainable. we are a, just a witnessing the iranian, and the europeans and americans are talking in different on different occasions just minutes ago, the iranian top negotiator alley walker. he left this building behind me. he was sitting with there with the europeans here. now with respect to what is, what are, what are we waiting to hear for? we're waiting for an announcement. when are they going to announce that they are? i've got to do this is something that might take days. it might take weeks,

which is something that is, is left to what the iranians are going to announce in the coming days or what's going to come from america. so this is mainly what everyone is waiting, gets a kind of a wait game. everyone is waiting daughter size to blink 1st. however, there is substantial progress as the united states officials were saying also the euro. iranian foreign minister, yesterday, in the unit said that there are big decisions to be taken. the iranian side would want to see guarantees, real guarantees for them to get back to the, to the deal. the united states of america wants to see a big gap between iraq and the a nuclear threat, a threshold. so this is right now what's being discussed, and as we know that the devil lies in the, in the, in the details. now we're getting reports. relaunch explosion in the bullet when
