european union leaders, a currently holding crisis talks in best. cy, as russia pushes ahead with its invasion of ukraine, talks at the to day. some it expected to be dominated by the economy. impact leaders will consider imposing new sanctions on moscow and how to reduce europe's dependence on russian energy. but also discuss ukraine and george's request to join the block. to promote, to get his james base is live in bass, i and paris for us. james, will what you think will come out of this summit? well, it's now after 11 o'clock at night and they are still having that working dinner. so they're still discussing all of these issues here. but there's a very pessimistic mood off of those talks that took place in turkey, no prospect. i think anytime soon of any proper piece talks, no prospect, even of a sci fi. in the hours before this summit, the host french president emanuel macro and the german chancellor,

olaf schultz spoke by telephone with president putin. after that call president macross said he was depressed and worried to day when i look at the facts, leadville lucid. the fact that the following russia decided to launch a war, russia is bombing ukraine. rashid bombing even civilians. and in pilot, you have a negotiations with these negotiations is not ready to be concluded. the response to this crisis by the e u has so far been united and strong, but there are different views on what to do next. some like the latvian prime minister, christiane is karen's. while the sanctions extended to the energy sector, we have to not only isolate proteins, economy, but cripple the economy as quickly as we can. ukraine wants the e u to give it fast track membership. but many leaders here believe that's

a non starter. i want to focus on what we can. we do have were volunteers lensky tonight, tomorrow and, and e, your accession of ukraine is something for the long term. if at all we think it slightly though, we some sort of statement on ukraine from these leaders are asked at the end of their dinner in the next hour or so. and this summit then continues on friday. thank you very much. russia's president vladimir putin says the sanctions imposed on his country will rebound against the west, driving up food and fuel prices on moscow. he says, will emerge stronger. he called the sanctions illegal and says russia will work around them, loses to new, show you of lithia with regards to countries making hostile steps towards us. there are, they are calling on their citizens to save and dress warmly, which shows that the sanctions they are introducing against us impacts their own economy. we want to stress that we are fulfilling all our energy supply obligations

in full everything we have to supply. we are supplying to our consumers in europe, 100 percent, to the listeners. we, together with our partners, those who don't recognize these unlawful actions. we will find solutions for all these problems. earlier i spoke to nadia telecom cover, an activist from the russian feminist punk group pussy riot. she was jailed in 2012 for staging, a flash mob performance in moscow cathedral. she is now on the cremins foreign agent list and is currently curating a public art exhibition in the u. s. called patriarchy r, i p. she says it's increasingly difficult for people inside russia to access independent new sources. relaunching up to provide means for russians then again, if you, if you leave, especially fired from bigger cities and half to 3 jobs in order to feed your family . especially with rational con, me, collapsing right in front of our eyes. and people being concerned mostly with their

survival, not getting news it's, it's becoming increasingly difficult. and me and my colleagues from read, he are getting notes from our family members and friends in russia that are a lot of people who are fooled at which in town for people who truly believe that the art there is no not reason did to fight in ukraine, but unfortunately those people just don't have access to any alternative information. then cogent propaganda. the u. s. vice president has visited poland to reassure nato allies and pledge the use of u. s. missile defense systems come on. harris says russia's attacks and ukraine amount to atrocities of unimaginable proportions. and nato is prepared to defend every inch of its territory. thing the survey reports from josh off in eastern poland you monetary gory,

those of you who repack them with absolute security. not just that quitting people won't believe the cities that are in that effect, but also be able to provide who non food items water to those who are willing to stay in those. it's a 2 way process and that we strongly appeal to the most partners to ukraine and russia to agree that the corridors can provide their isn't necessary to support a parisian can. he wasn't st. thrive his piece. we're trying bringing that later. now, at 777 russian oligarchy, with linked to vladimir putin, had been put on the u. k. sanctions nest, as part of the country's response to the russian invasion of ukraine. among them is roman abram of ich a billionaire owner of chelsea football club. his future is now uncertain. the government says that can be no safe haven for those who have directly or indirectly supported the invasion. near barker reports from london. ah,

2 year old peter hardaman got his hands on the last chelsea shirt from the club shop before it closes doors. he's wearing a piece of football history. now the roman abramoff it's era is over. they closed the door behind us, both are and so if it was really normal in the shop or you want to for the war sanctions at obasi and the doors closed in a certain amount of money vessel really seems like he loves the club. it probably isn't just a lie pumped out by some media team of his. they are no to make him look games will be allowed to continue. salaries will still be paid. b u k. government sanctions have stopped. chelsea from selling merchandise and even new tickets to matches and lucrative sponsorship deals with jeopardy abramoff. it shows own chelsea for 19 years over seeing a reversal of the clubs. fortune with a massive objection. cash. but moscow's evasion of ukraine has focus the attention on his alleged ties. we flood him a putin put in the oligarch on a collision course of the british government afterwards. and i think when you look

at what is happening in ukraine and you, you look to the, are the casual rejection of every norm of civilized behavior in, in bombing a, a maternity hospital. i think people in this country, i can see that people connected or to the putin regime a need to be sanction. and that's what we're doing. the sanctions are immediate, including a freeze on all assets and a travel band. it's something abramoff which appears to have seen coming, and i'm seeing the club was up for sale last week and putting some of his multi $1000000.00 portfolio of london properties on the market. a promise, which also has a stake in everest steel, headquartered in london, with operations in russia and ukraine. the british government said the company had potentially been involved in supplying steel to the russian military and use the production of tanks after 2 weeks of fighting in ukraine. the net is finally starting to close around some of those seen as facilitators of le putin. and as

such, the war in ukraine. the question is whether this is 2 weeks too late to prevent abramivitch and other oligarchs from simply shifting their money elsewhere. abramivitch also holds portuguese and israeli passports and spent a lot of time in the u. e. there were no shortage of places for him to stash his billions. as a similar story for the 6 other oligarchs added to britain sanctions list, including alexei miller, the head of russian energy giant gas prom. heger set him the owner of ra, snapped oil company, a metals magnet o, like dairy pasco, all members of pollutants in a circle. this being called the end of the roman empire, sanctions aimed at stopping abramoff h and others making money in the u. k. as for the club, it's future is uncertain. he needs a new well hailed owner quickly. now the most prominent russian oligarch in britain is no longer welcome. ne parker al jazeera london has returned now to the yes,

vice president, sir visit to poland, to reassure nato allies. and bas ravi reports from jess off and east and poland. eastern poland, where foreign forces have come and gone for centuries. once again, the streets of promotional echo this time to the sounds of american boots, sightseeing, but still a visible presence to reaffirm america's commitment to south in warsaw us, vice president kamala harris, confirmed the delivery of us patriot missile defense systems to poland. i am here standing here on the eastern flank of nato to reaffirm our commitment commitment to poland and our nato. and there is no question that we stand united as it relates to many issues, added the tickler should ukraine,

economic sanctions remain the main us weapon for isolating moscow and exacting a high financial price for the russian invasion of ukraine. but as long as russia controls disguise, ukrainians pay with their lives, the one volunteer sent the us vice president of this message from the front binding. come on the hottest month bridges. what can i say to mr kamala harris? which of them i would say that the necessary condition to preserve global democracy is closing this guy to russian aircraft. if you do this and there will be victory for democracy all over the world to be for now, the us focus is on drawing a red line polar. the number of american troops in the country is in the 1000 sine levels not seen since world war 2. now this part of eastern poland is under a high security alerts. we can't get out in film like we normally could. but the

profile of this airport has become distinctly more military and recent weeks, far more military aircraft, taking off and landing and far more military hardware on the ground. the closest runway to the border with ukraine is that just of airport and there is no mistaking the american presence here. once again in europe. talk of armies, alliances, war 19th century battle lines. being drawn with 21st century weapons as a basra viola 0 gesture of eastern poland, a reins state emergency service has released footage. they say shows them disarming a bomb and china have using their bare hands and a bottle of water. amnesty international, as accused russia of using unguided aerial bombs, also referred to as dumb bombs in the city. one strike last week, which used 8 munitions killed, 47 people in china here, and could constitute a war crime. according to their investigation. the group says it couldn't identify
