as true for americans is true for the people of the world. and while decisions are ours to make, now, the principles of the stakes are eternal. the choice between chaos and stability, between building and destroying him, between hope and fair. between democracy lifts up the human spirit and the brutal hand of the dictate who crushes it. between nothing less than limitation and possibilities, the kind of possibilities have come. when people who live not in captivity, but in freedom freedom freedom, there is no sweeter word than freedom. there is no noble or goal freedom. there's no higher aspiration than freedom. americans know that and you know it and all that we do now must be done. so our children and grandchildren will though it as well freedom the enemy, the tyrant, the hope with
8:01 pm
a brave huh. truth of the age is freedom. stand with us. we will stand with you. let us move forward with faith in conviction, or the abiding commitment to be allies, not of darkness, but of light. not about pressure, but of liberation, not of captivity, but yes of freedom. a god bless you all the god protect our troops. may god bless the heresy, grade, and all those who do defend freedom around the world. thank you, paul, and thank you. thank you. thank you for what you're doing. joshua b is just gone 1700 as g m t. we've been lips thing to and watching the u. s. a. present joe biden give
8:02 pm
a speech and ponens capital war saw to cheering crowds who were watching and they've been waiting for him for quite some time and a chilly 7 degrees celsius. the, an poland biden's speech was full of energy displays of strength. thank keith, sand strong and nato is more united than ever before. let's bring in. our correspondent, alum fishing is also in warsaw and was also listening in alan over to you don't, don't think any of these things happen by accident. the music that joe biden is walking off to is a song called we phone loving, a hopeless place. clearly, his message is that while things look a bit bleak, if the western allies continue to work together, this is a war that they could when there wasn't a direct reference to vladimir putin. but essentially he said what was had from him before he could end this war, essentially of russia pools in the troops back the war ends. but if ukraine stops
8:03 pm
defending itself than democracy and freedom, and so be interesting to see how often he used the word freedom as well. he returned to a number of themes that he's talked about before. but there was added resonance the, the resonance of his, his visit to keep yesterday when he could speak about firsthand what he saw in the center. that the fact that he went to the memorial for those who have died during the war. the fact that he was there with the president had gone to that at washington dc just 2 months ago. and you remember that that was seen as us at an unplanned surprise visit at that time. and he talked about to how it led me to put and had managed to bring nieto together. and again, what was really important is the fact that he talked about article 5 of nato. and the fact that the united states stand strongly behind that, that's in stark contrast to donald trump, who during his time in office had said on a number of occasions and certainly hinted on a number of occasions that that might not be the case that he didn't see why he
8:04 pm
should get involved in a fight if say russia invaded lot via he didn't see the point of that. joe biden was saying, look what together in nato, we're committed to this and essentially saying if anything happens to any of those countries, again addressing the so called benign the eastern flank of nato, a saying the united states as very much behind them. and he thanked the people of poland as we've had the fact that he took in millions of refugees in the early days of the war, and still holding to more than 1500000 refugees. but this was joe biden, essentially sending a message to those who are perhaps growing weary of the war that we're together. we're committed and we're going to see this through and a message to vladimir putin saying that we're together. we're committed and we're going to see this thing through is just leaving the stage now, having taken some photos were children there in more saw children waving ukrainian flags, polish flags, us flags. the atmosphere really must be full of energy though we saw him leaping on
8:05 pm
to the stage. he himself wanted to just be show a display of strength and unity there for the world. he also and had a message for the people of russia, didn't he? that the west is not plotting to attack russia. one wonders how many and russia will actually hear that i would suspect from all, we have land over the last year, very little because independent media outlets certainly don't have the range or, or the, the reach that the likes about xena highs. i and so it, he wants to try and get that message out. look, this isn't a fight against the russian people without seeing that you would like to see regime change. essentially. that's what he's saying that this is a fight against vladimir put, know, the americans officially will tell you that if vladimir putin with joyce's troops, that at some point i, there could be a stabilization in, ah, it,
8:06 pm
but the relationship with moscow. but it would take some time. i and it may be speeded up if vladimir putin wasn't in power. but of course that's not on the table at the moment. his concern is what's happening in ukraine today. he's aware that the, the fighting continues and the loss of life continues. but he, he's full throated and his commitment, and he hopes that message reaches beyond vladimir putin and any to allies and europe. and those of committed to the alliance that joe biden and the white house insist that he has put together. and that's also a message to those back home who may doubt america's commitment to ukraine, particularly when you hear that they're sending 500000000 dollars of support. additional support and there will be more because they've already said that they will continue to back this and that are the was to suggest that the u. s. shouldn't be involved. busy in this fight, he is saying, look, this is a battle for what are american values. and while they are fighting, not in europe,
8:07 pm
and america must stand up for those sort of democracies. i. and he said it's a battle, as he said, for his children and his grandchildren, this about the sort of world he wants them to grow up in what democracy stands for, what freedom stands for. and again, he used the word freedom several times throughout the speech, and that will be, i perhaps the most repeated word and the speech. but the sentiment undoubtedly is that we are in this for the long haul. no matter how long it takes. ok allen fisher . many thanks indeed for bringing us reaction. the immediate reaction to the speech that you as president joe biden has just given there in the shadow of the royal castle there in warsaw, poland, 2 crowns, who were waiting and received his speech with great enthusiasm. let's now go to same bas ravi, he's standing vipers in the ukrainian capsule keys, because then i should imagine there's plenty more people there who also received
8:08 pm
biden's words with enthusiasm. that is exactly right. it was an incredibly powerful and energized speech. his polish counterpart open for him and then he made a very powerful speech, no doubt, looking ahead to the year of the year of war ahead. now we are one year into this war and he is no doubt here to try to energize everyone to try to send a message to war weary ukrainians that they are not alone in this fight. and we can already see that that message is being very well received on social media. people praising the speech is very powerful, very positive, and he is no doubt gaining a lot of popularity if he wasn't already one of the most popular foreign leaders in ukraine. this trip the last 2448 hours the last 2 days really will cement his
8:09 pm
position in the minds of the people here in this country. in this city, on the front lines we saw bite in during his trip in keith. very somber, very reflective. his time with zelinski was a much more low key affair, but this event in poland, where these leaders are, they are talking about ukraine will be seen here as a very, very positive development. zelinski has been preparing his people suddenly for the possibility that by the city the besieged city may fall. they are facing intense forces on the front line in the east. many villages and towns continue to be under seeds. the war is not going necessarily how the ukrainians would like in that area, though they're holding their positions or holding the lines. but in the last few days, in terms of the information or that they're also fighting with russia biden's visit . and this very powerful speech will no doubt count as very, very strong victories and trying to get to the messaging,
8:10 pm
trying to maintain ukrainians morale and trying to make sure that they're ready for the war and the battles that will come in the next few months. indeed they well, okay zane many thanks for sharing as the reaction there from that key to present biden's speech will that speech it comes just hours after president vladimir pu tens state of the union address to russia. hooted announced that moscow will suspend its role in the new start treaty that limit stop piles of nuclear weapons. and the arms control agreements is the last remaining between russia and the u. s. newton made the comments during a wide ranging address to his nation, including they want to delivers a strategic defeat live. i have to say that russia suspends its participation in new starts treated. russia does not abandon the treaty, but suspends its participation. now, before resuming the discussion, we must 1st understand what to countries of north atlantic alliance like frogs and
8:11 pm
great britain aspire for. and how will we take the strategic arsenals into account? well younger? well, let's get more on that speech now from our correspondent in moscow, us on, i've been job aid. what it is, the law st. he between these 2 countries are a chair about 90 percent of the world's nuclear warheads. so the treaty which was, are going to work to words and has been working towards a reduction in weapons and nuclear disarmament as it's a wider goal. and the vladimir putin. you heard saying that he's not pulling out of this treaty. he is going to suspended a thing that the, you know, he has information that the united states plans to carry out a more nuclear tests. and russia will follow suit if it does. so, but it, he made it clear that it will not be the russians will carry it out 1st. and this is something we've been hearing the past year about the threat of nuclear warfare. as this conflict has escalated to europe's largest nuclear power plant, which came to pare perilously close to
8:12 pm
a nuclear disaster. and this is the biggest fear that people have had in the last year, but a whole host of issues in that one hour 45 minute long speech, where he 1st laid the foundation of why russia had to go to war, according to president vladimir putin, russia was put in the position by the rest, where it was interfering in russian and russian borders by amassing weapons in ukraine. and it had to go and defend what he called russian people. he then took talk to his local audience here, explaining to them what the war had not been able to do, which is to defeat russian military to bring it to economic collapse and isolate in the rest of the world. and then he also warned world powers about how this conflict could escalate even further. and russia is not going to stop until it achieves complete victory. while nato is actually general, has urged moscow to reconsider its decision from brussels of the mascot. james bayes has more,
8:13 pm
there's real concern here at nato headquarters about president putin's decision on new start ever since the 70s. there have been limits on strategic nuclear weapons from the u. s. and russia. and in fact, after the cold war, both sides reduced their nuclear stock piles. this though, is the last treaty left and the nato sec could general yen salt and berg raised his alarm during a news conference. i asked him if it made the world a more dangerous place, more nuclear weapons and by less arms control makes the world more dangerous. and that's the reason why innate to we are work so hard on to engage russia on issues related to on control and wanted while i so supported the new start. and also why i'm calling on russia today to reconsider it's a decision to suspend its participation. the new, the start agreement mr. ste oldenburg was meeting here with the ukrainian foreign minister, demitra caliber and the you foreign policy chief,
8:14 pm
joseph burrell. the focus of their meeting was the ammunition that is going to ukraine in particular artillery shells. it's believed that there are more being used by ukraine than can be manufactured. and mr. burrell revealed that he has sent a letter to all e u defense chief saying for now, while those factories speed up their production, please give your stocks to ukraine. in the meantime, i can take a short break now and then still had her on al jazeera why residents have one small town in ohio as skeptical that their air and water as safe. ah. for the past year, al jazeera, his correspondence have reported on every aspect and the far reaching consequences of russia's invasion of ukraine, unfit by saint vital to the suction of towns and cities,
8:15 pm
and the lights of refugees from the political maneuvering and global repercussions . the devastating impact on the lives of ordinary people are both very good. the front line, the bomb health is the seats of power and the reality of the ground for moscow give brushing could build on bought and beyond will continue to deliver in depth, unbiased reporting. so you get the full story when i was 0. 0, oh
8:16 pm
no. ah, and there again, you're watching out there has reminder of our top stories, this our, you as president joe biden as address a massive crowd in warsaw in poland. he said, russian president vladimir putin thought he was tough until he met the will of america. he's dressed in the west and nato remains united behind ukraine when mar russian president vladimir putin, as announced moscow will suspend its role in the new start treaty. that limits stockpiles of nuclear weapons. the arms control agreement is the last left between russia and the u. s. ah.
