and i might sit here and see nato as an essentially defensive organisation, article five is an attack on one as an attack on all, but these of the word attack, it's a defensive organisation, that's not a rush as he said, they see it as an aggressive, assertive organisation on the borders of russia, and russia have always been worried about western europe leaders invading him a look at napoleon, look at hitler. there is this psyche which i don't think that sensitivity from the west is good enough to understand that. on the other hand, you cannot expect the western powers not to position troops, if it's ukraine, they leave ukraine to themselves, but they arm them, but if it's poland like we send troops today, america have even put troops back in germany. he cannot expect, democracies have to be seen, their leaders have to be seen to be persuaded by the

struggles of their people, but the essential issue of the german russian relationship is playing big—time into this in the next ten days, and if you look at the relationship, it is very ambivalent. the chancellor of germany before, he has just been offered a position on the board, the russian company, the oil and gas company in russia for some time, and it's a very different and difficult relationship between germany and russia. so much so that when britain who put some troops into one of the multi states, they didn't overfly to deliver the ukraine, didn't overfly germany because germany didn't want to be associated with arming ukraine and germany has stopped estonia helping ukraine with very old weapons. so, germany has got the big problem to be part of nato, which they are, to

be part of nato, which they are, to be an ally in america, which they are coming to be a friend in places like britain which thank god they are. yet at the same time, they keep one foot in the camp of a good relationship with russia. very, very comlex. relationship with russia. very, very complex of _ relationship with russia. very, very complex. of that _ relationship with russia. very, very complex. of that is _ relationship with russia. very, very complex. of that is the _ relationship with russia. very, very complex. of that is the history - relationship with russia. very, very complex. of that is the history the | complex. of that is the history the second world _ complex. of that is the history the second world war. _ complex. of that is the history the second world war. that _ complex. of that is the history the second world war. that is - second world war. that is seepolitics- _ second world war. that is geopolitics. daily - second world war. that is i geopolitics. daily telegraph, second world war. that is - geopolitics. daily telegraph, just a quick comment from each of you. digby, first of all, north sea oil fired up amid net zero row, new drilling is being approved, why, just briefly?— drilling is being approved, why, 'ust briefl ? , , ., just briefly? very quickly to i can understand _ just briefly? very quickly to i can understand for _ just briefly? very quickly to i can understand for the _ just briefly? very quickly to i can understand for the life _ just briefly? very quickly to i can understand for the life of - just briefly? very quickly to i can understand for the life of me - just briefly? very quickly to i can| understand for the life of me why both england and scotland, the latter up in shetland, england further south in the north sea come i can understand for the life of me why they where going to agree with lots of green lobbyists and say we are not going to dig any more of that stuff out of the north sea. it's fossil fuel, we are not going to do it, then no one ever said

the football associations of the four home nations, and the republic of ireland have decided against bidding to host the 2030 world cup. it follows a uk government feasibility study, costing almost 3 millions pounds, that the digital culture media and sport select committee chair julian knight called a waste of money on a "pipe dream" that was "doomed from the start". instead, the fas will focus on a joint bid for euro 2028. dan roan reports. it is known for passionate fans, great stadiums and top players. but today, you can irish football abandoned hopes for a joint bid to host the 2030 world cups will stop more than half a century after wimbley staged the event, the five football associations confirmed that after a feasibility study, they would focus on the sport's

their own individual personality to try and handcuff that or restrict that i think would be detrimental, so as i say, as long as players have the right behaviours when it comes to football and doing the right things, i've got no worries. british men's number one, cameron norrie, has bounced back from his australian open first round exit with a victory over france's ugo humbert in rotterdam. the 26—year—old had a phenomenal 2021, unexpectedly climbing to the verge of the top ten and winning indian wells but incredibly that is his first win of 2022. he came through in straight sets seeing off the world number ai, 6—2 6—4. paul collingwood has been appointed the england men's cricket team interim head coach. he'll take charge for the three—match test series against west indies next month after chris silverwood left the role following england's 4—0 ashes defeat in australia. collingwood's been an assistant coach and led the team in their t20 series in the caribbean last month, which they also lost. the test squad will be announced tomorrow. team gb�*s mixed doubles curlers

will have to settle for a bronze at best after losing their semi final at the winter olympics. bruce mouat and jen dodds started well in their match against norway, but the lead they established was wiped out on end 6 with norway scoring a crucial three points. they held on and won with the hammer on the eighth and final end claiming a 6—5 victory, with gb now heading to a bronze medal playoff against sweden tomorrow morning. i'm just really disappointed in my last three ends. i think that's going to be the toughest thing to get over. jen played amazing all day and i'm just disappointed more for what i've done to the team than myself. it's tough. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello there.
