been an element to renew the international log on the challenges that we are all phases, including climate change positioning towards low carbon sources of energy . this dialogue has allowed as an opportunity to result to natural gas. and to have this transition period looking full reliable source of energy that would achieve the balance between economy growth and environmental challenges worked out for you to saudi. but my right, which i had for laura cherry that island hadn't updated marie there even give her the world has witness in the last 2 decades. lot of challenges in the field of energy and natural gas, the occupiers, a big place for martha bill ris, including the environmental or damage and reducing

this are also these sir places when it comes to the energy basket and difficulties of the world. the gas exporting countries forum has been a vital role. it promoting the role of natural gas and supporting economies and facing environmental challenges. this contributes to achieving sustainable development goals and targets. in this context, we appreciate high the joint efforts by the members countries and all the to have reliable source of a natural gas and to achieve the stability in the market when transitioning towards a low carbon and the source of energy is not only about the producers it's also closely linked to the final uses and consumers whose

behaviors and consumer behaviors dictates the success of this transition. this transition effort have to follow cohesive and balanced approach, putting them by the concentration and the requirements of the economic and human developments. big pull countries and developing countries where more than 1000000 people deprived from access to oil and electricity, which are the to t. l. immense, full decent life crucible. latimer investing in the means of significant technological advancement in order to capture isolate carbon and to reduce and the leave latin missions is the right way that yahoo heading towards a clean energy and to use the value of the natural gas with uses amongst the world . and also preserving the energy economy of the world and keeping it sustainability

. the state of guitar has confirmed how many times its commitment to support the physician or towards a low carbon environment and remove more carbon from the gas production chain lock. their biggest facility has been launched in the middle east and north africa, the captain as the lead carbons, and 2500000 tons of c o. 2 yearly. for 4 years, this capacity will reach 9000000 tons by 2030 and the wi fi sonata was at the rear. to further promote our role in the production of natural gas, we are moving toward in raising l. n. g production capacity from $77000000.00 tons per year to $1600000.00 tons per year. by a 2027 nadia. so she threw different projects on the production

from the north field that includes big investment and environmental from the technologies and the same time remaining hm. on vomiting with a camera and a monkey that having a full fledged control mechanism in order to capture c o 2, which will become when it's fully operational. the biggest of its kind in the production of a liquefied natural gas and will be a source of energy to create that was what are the tricity needed in this project. so unbelievable delegates lives and gentlemen, we can not ignore the achievements of the gnc efforts. the short period of time since exception, which contribute on a daily basis to add g being its mission method and there who lacked of objectives. our summit he to day confirms the constance that our forum is walking

on to further promot. that's again and it's contribution to support economic development and social advancement book sion of the environment to actually go to metadata. our summit also confirms the need for, after directing the stability of supply and demand and for founding transparent nondiscriminatory from the donte the limit of the countries in adopting equitable, and fair policies for the environment and for any to production in different countries. here we highlight the importance of promoting the role of natural gas as a main source of energy that will highly need in order to manage the regular nature of resource of energy and to deal with the daily volatility of the demand of food damage. oh that he may at my side of the state of that old contin.

it's effort to support the emphasis of producers and consumers alike. and the angular sovereign bites of this member countries. and for when exploiting the natural sources, we will remain committed to that motion of the role of natural gas at a physician to was low carbon economies. and we will continue working in solidarity with all our partners to achieve a sustainable growth and gas production. and there will be the increasing demand, which is very important to you, vessels of energy. and there will underscore as well. the mountains is to deal with the incidence accidents and natural disasters. we renew our goal towards further dialogue and cooperation among the member countries. and there is exporters and the importers on another hand to secure the security of natural gas supplies and the

global market undecided last but not least leg due to let us exit seems the mohammed carmel, the 2nd, the general of g e. c, f for his new glasgow i entered, met his everson, valuable efforts of a psychotherapist last year. and the led by his excellency mister unison in the former's hilton every hour forum. once again, i wish you all success and the revelations of our summit and peace be upon you all . we certainly know doris, it's my pleasure to invite the, to my pencil, said the government though dropped the agenda of our summit

vividly, either with a will hardy, who general am i had the mirage of hello since it there are no observation. this is going to be adopted now, and i'd like to welcome mr. mohammed hammer, the secretary general of the g e. c. f to deliver his speech in been at thank you. any of the state of other exodus his head. so benjamin. okay. he just joining us. we been listening to castles, amir shake to mean ben. hi matt. i'll tony who has been speaking here in doha, where they've been hosting a regional gas conference, iran's president abraham, re he c as in cat all for the 1st time for this dead significant conference given the timing of fir geo politics at the moment. and the crisis in ukraine, we had there a shake to me referring to the crisis,

the escalating crisis in ukraine. let's speak to him, ron khan, who has been monitoring this conference for us. of course, what's happening in ukraine to threatens gas supplies and services, no doubt, some issue that came up during this conference. how much has it dominated, or the last 2 days, while publicly speaking it hasn't dominated at all. none of the delegates, none of the governments, they are actually talking about the crisis in ukraine. what they're actually saying is that this is about gas and gas exporting countries and how they are going to deal with future demands of gas behind closed doors. though ukraine has been a very big talking point. we've been talking to sources within the ministry of foreign affairs here in the cat or what they've actually told us is that they are very concerned about capacity. now the americans already are scattered to,

to try and supply gas to europe too, and make sure that supplies are unbroken if they're the crisis in ukraine gets, and he was a russia what builds it, supply for various reasons, including at western sanctions catalog that she said to its her, to the americans enter allies here as well. that they may have a happy need to reach out to the asian countries to the allies there. to help sure up supplies because it's not as easy as putting a some gas onto a boat and sending it to europe. there are deals in place there are pipelines in place and also capacity as well. germany, for example, ah, relies on russian gas for about 50 percent of its domestic capacity. that's going to increase when the nord stream to pipeline comes into being from russia into germany. and of course i d. h. capacity sold on to europe. so there's a lot of energy security here, energy diplomacy going on, but it won't be talked about publicly very much the, the, the public message is going to be that gas is the future of a privately,

everybody is concerned about what's going on in the ukraine than the, the russian at what russia might do next, but it's very, it's going to be very difficult to win europe off russian gas the simply because it's so entrenched. the mere also spoke about natural gas as a transitional fuel as well, moves to ads, renewable energy. what more did he have to say about that? with us also, one of the big talking points, hey, it's about gas being a cleaner fuel, a much cleaner fuel than say, petrol, a se, oil that they can actually start relying on in the future more heavily. it's actually easier to transport. a lot of what we're talking about here has been technicalities. how do we get more guests to the people who wants it? and how do we price that do do on 24 year plans of done in the past has been a lot of technical toolkit, but the, the real drive,

the real focus of the public statements that we're saying is that gas is a clean renewable. and it will not renewable clean energy, and it's also one that's very practical. and that when he gets out into the world and you'd be emit in his statement or just then also talked a lot about the environment. that's actually a big change as well. pushing the environmental message is clearly key for the categories, but also for the gas. expose himself itself. i can't many thanks for that. amazon. com there for us in doha while the u. s. and it's european allies all preparing to impose new sanctions on russia. often president vladimir putin recognized to disputed regions as being independent of ukraine. overnights heathen also ordered troops into la hans and don. yet, for what he described as a peacekeeping operation, the move has compounded western phase that rushed out will invade its neighbour, leading to some tense exchanges at the un security council. shebra tansy has more.

the president, as security council president, russia proposed a closed door emergency meeting on monday night. but the u. s. insisted on a public session having earlier stated that could be no fence sitters in the ukraine crisis. and speaker after speaker expressed varying degrees of disquieting or outright condemnation of russia's recognition of the independence of donuts and the husk. the u. s. of the united nations itself was at stake. president pohden is testing our international system. he is testing our resolve and seeing just how far he can push us all he wants to demonstrate that through force. he can make a farce of the un through the ukrainian ambassador also argued this was not just about his country. the united nations is think that's a matter of fact, it's been here by the virus spread by the kremlin will lead to

come to these wires. it is in the hands of the membership. thank you, mr. president. criticism of russia was not limited to the west african nations express particular concern at the breach of the territorial integrity of ukraine. multilateralism lies on its death bed to night. it husband assaulted to day as it, as it has been by other powerful states in the recent past. but russia said it was precisely the failure of multilateralism that had led moscow to make its decision. specifically, the refusal of kiev, backed by washington to implement the cease fire agreement meant to permanently end hostilities in easton ukraine and give the region autonomy. the minister agreements gave new post or chambers through here have not only very quickly returned to militant rhetoric and continued shelling civilians,

but also did everything to sabotage and eventually destroyed the minsk agreements key to the meeting. what now for them ins, agreement still the only existing framework for peace. the u. s. appeared unequivocal to day president clinton has torn the nance agreement to shreds. who's to lose russia, disagree? he said, just moving, you're still more, you're going to her today we can see that many colleagues want to sign up to the idea that the minsk agreements are dead, but that's not the case. and keith is still bound to implement them. we remained open to diplomacy for a diplomatic solution while much, but permeating the discussion was the question, is this, it has vladimir putin but a massing. his forces of ukrainian board is not just to force the west into a dialogue about moscow's strategic concerns. but also finally to reach a settlement in easton ukraine, or does the russian president, how far wider ambitions she ever town see al jazeera united nations

or one of russia as close as allies was careful not to take sides during the security council session. tanya's ambassador called on all involved to avoid making things worse. let's get more fun. katrina you who is in beijing for us. say time isn't bass day, giving an extremely short statement at the un security council meeting. how is beijing really viewing the crisis in the fine well, on tuesday bathing, sent out a statement warning all of its citizens in ukraine to try to avoid unstable areas. but it stopped short of actually telling them to leave the country completely, unlike many other nations. now town and recent weeks has criticized the us for what it says is hyping up. the threat of war. china has said that it believes that russia's security concerns are legitimate and the 2 countries are very close. vladimir putin was just in beijing about 2 weeks ago. emphasizing the strength of

his friendship with china and with she's in pain. but that doesn't necessarily mean that she didn't ping would welcome or support any war over ukraine. he's also has very good ties with care. and china very much relies on trade with europe. so china's ambassador to the ambassador to the un on tuesday. jung jones said that all party should really return to dialogue and exercise restraint. let's have a listen to more of what he had to say. walk along user father gall morton's on call. the current situation in ukraine is a result of many complex factors. china always makes its position according to the merits of the matter itself. we believe that all countries should solve international disputes by peaceful means and in line with the purposes and principles of the un charter was gonna cut in the china is dealing with its own separate us issues, trying to say control over taiwan, isn't it?

that's right. so china's stands when it comes to most international affairs, is that it does not intervene in the affairs of another country. on one hand, china has said that the sovereignty of every country must be respected. but on the other hand, china may also sympathize with russia's so called historical claim to ukraine all to ukrainian territory. that's essentially how china views taiwan. now taiwan is a self ruled island that has been self ruled the decades that beijing has made it clear that it believes that taiwan is a break away chinese province that will one day be reunited with the mainland and president, she didn't ping himself, has not ruled out using force in order for this to happen. now many analysts that we have spoken to say they believe that she didn't ping does want reunification. good ty, want to be a part of his leadership legacy, but we don't have any time frame on that. so it may not be any time soon. it may

not even be the 5 or 10 years. but certainly, bating is watching what is happening in ukraine very, very closely and waiting to see how the international community respond to any possible invasion by russia. very interesting, thank you for that. katrina you in beijing. meanwhile columns of military vehicles have been seen in one of the to break away regions of easton ukraine. ours off to russia. recognize them as independent. president vladimir putin signed a decree alongside rebel leaders from the self proclaimed are nets and new hands peoples republics. well that announcement threw some people on the streets of journals. people waved russian flags than less of fireworks to celebrate the head of the don't yet, executive committee call putin's announcement, another brick in the road to the russian federation under simmons has more from key

. if vladimir putin move is a major escalation in this crisis escalated 1st, he staged a televised meeting of russia's national security council, where he made a show of considering appeals from his top aides, on whether to recognize the to russian back break away states in ukraine as independent me hours later, he made a televised address of me. surely this package is caveat in look at the weapons of nato. it will be possible for them to control russia's air space with medium and long range, missiles and ballistic weapons. they could attack sites throughout russia in less than 30 minutes. i do not doubt they planned to attack as they have in the past. oh, the self declared republics of done yet. and lou hands are in a state of high alert after their leaders advised their people to evacuate and told

them, ukraine is mounting an offensive. that's a claim. ukraine denies. but there's now a real risk that russia's forces could roll into what ukraine describes as temporarily occupied territory. that's because with formal recognition of independence, russia could present itself as answering a request for help. putin could also use the threats of such action as a lever. if the tenuous diplomatic process still exists, the moves came shortly after russian media ran video of what purported to be a ukrainian military incursion into its territory. the reports claim that 5 ukrainian soldiers would kill in care of the government dismissed the report as fake news. united states of america and other partners, and of course, ukraine were for quite spell on hearing of time were saying that's to provoke the conflict. the false like operations will be we will be organized by russia

federation. and these is, is exactly the example of such a false like operation. the minister says the car bomb reported in done yet last week said to be a ukrainian attack. it was also a fake news. ukraine's foreign ministry says it's dealing with dozens of fake incidents. and false flag operations, it says they're all intended to build up as excuses for potential war. and one of the byproducts is fear instilled into the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians living in the break away republics. people living in don't yet say the situation is intolerable with intense shelling and no help. how could i schedule your product? where should we go? we will all leave. but is there anyone waiting for us there? where should i go? we will receive me maybe for a day or 2, but what about after that?

and when i come back, there will be nothing ruins have i live my life on nothing. whatever that must michael mean, you're somebody to stop the war. tell zalinski and put into store, pull this, i just can't live like this. every one he'll will tell you the same thing. he should reach an agreement including america. everyone who is responsible, we are suffering. we are simple people. they can just drive off with their millions and we have to remain here. children have to hide and baseman city. yes, yes. so my neighbor with had 2 month old ashley was running to the basement, which should be like this friday. been kinda busy, but the suffering may become so much worse for these people and millions of others . what was decided in the kremlin on monday could be one more step closer to war. andrew simmons al jazeera, give all the men's co pays process, was meant to provide a diplomatic solution to the conflict. denise in ukraine,

it cold for comprehensive cease pie in the dumbass region between ukraine's government and russian back separatists in parts of daniel and lou housed foreign troops were told to leave. and under the agreement, the separatists held areas were meant to receive a decree of autonomy from ukraine. the ultimate goal was to bring occupied areas back under the central government. but moscow interpreted the agreement differently . russia says it was not potty to the conflict, nor the times of the agreement. and fighting along the line of control has never really stopped since it was signed back in 2015. let's speak to michael bassetti, if he's a non resident senior fellow at the atlantic council eurasia center and a former spokesman for the organization for security and cooperation in europe. he joins us from viv in ukraine. thank you for your time. i stop fast with your reaction to vladimir putin se ferry speech last night where he formerly recognized these to break away regions of ukraine,

controlled by these russian back separatists. did you see it is coming? good to be with you? i yes, i saw coming actually. i've been predicting it for weeks that president putin would take formal control over a territory. he's actually been controlling informally since 2014 through the russian back tags. the speech last night was nothing short of blood curdling. it was coming from a man who i believe has no intention at stopping at the so called front line, dividing the occupied and government control areas of ukraine is the big fear here at the moment is that he will actually try and take control of the other parts of all i can do that, they basically control at the moment about one 3rd of those 2 blocks. and then another possibility is to move further south and create that land bridge between russia proper and crimea. so this has a long way to play out, and i don't believe the sanctions and outs of park by the white house will do

anything to deter. i'm the u. s. in the west saying this means russia effectively as torn up the men's agreements. do you think that's the case? well they haven't respected the mist agreements since the day was fine. i was here and in ukraine in 20142015. when mens one and 2 were okay with the, basically an agreement that was forced down the throat of the crane side on legitimately argued that what was the problem with minutes? because the sequencing in order for them to do the contract. so active grad and take some autonomy to the occupied regions. they wanted control of their border 1st grade rush report that was never handed to them by the russians. and the other problem with mints is that removal of happy weaponry. i think it's section number 2 or 3 never really happened. both sides did not respect that. so hence we had a very variable tire frontline and no real fire. it was to an extent the only

framework for diplomacy. so what does that mean going forward is, is diplomacy even possible now? well, if diplomacy, it was on the floor 2 days ago. i said it was in the basement yesterday. it's down the drain. now. clearly put in is no world. he is going to choose his own cause, and i think there should be a wake up call to the entire world that he is a fog that wants to see his own way. that was to remake the international security structure of europe. it's again, a very, very chilling development. the always see monitors patrolling the front lines of those breakaway regions. they've been reporting c 5 violations along the board since 2014, since the minsk agreement was signed. what does this move by russia now mean for their role in the region. now, what happens to those of great question?

well, couple of things there. i mean, 1st of all, about 10 days ago, you know, the big actors in the us, the united states, united kingdom, ireland, denmark actually withdrew their national. it's from commission that would have been over a 100 monitors of a group of $600.00. so that's basically almost a complicated the mission and it's delivery to performance mandate. the 2nd thing is, yeah, i mean, if these areas 2 areas are now declared, so called independent, they're no longer part of the $57.00 member states of the o. s. e. so my guess would be, and i haven't seen anything from the sea yet on this is that they need to meet. they need to move out of their immediately for political reasons, but mostly for security reasons and dot rob the world is, i can't understate this over the rug of the world, of the eyes and ears of the international community community in those occupied areas. we won't be able to see anymore with human eyes. what's going on, what,

what can we as being move the humanitarian impact increasingly, the sea will no longer be able to facilitate repair critical infrastructure. really interesting to get your take on the events, fast moving events of recent hours. my co poster give nonresident senior fellow, the atlantic councils, eurasia center, and a former spokesman for the organization for security and cooperation in europe. thank you for your time. let's take a look at some other global news headlines. sure, lanka says it's open to discussions with the international monetary fund as it faces. it's worth economic crisis in years. the countries out of cash to buy fuel as pumps in most filling stations have run dry. people also facing shortages of milk, powder, cooking, and all that essentially, foreign exchange reserves plummeted to $2360000000.00. a political leader,

nicaragua has been sentenced to 13 years jail for conspiring to destabilize the country. victor hugo tentacle was one of dozens of opposition leaders who president johnny ortega ordered to be arrested last year. they arrest cleared the way for take it to be reelected virtually on oppose. tellico was deputy foreign affairs minister in 1979. the natives split from ortega ah, this is out. is there a recap of the breaking news developments today? the un security council has largely criticized rushes recognition of to break away regions in easton, ukraine. the u. s. embassy calls the move a pretext to war. ukraine is demanding moscow reverse its decision. he calls them peacekeepers. this is nonsense. we know what they really are. in doing so he is put before the world a choice. we must meet the moment and we may.
