a member turkey. we are concerned that china is considering us of supporting russia's war effort in ukraine with lethal assistance. something that we're watching very, very close. so i also said, and as president biden said, going back many months when the aggression 1st took place and he spoke to president, she should thing he told him at that point that there would be real consequences in our own relationship. we're trying to provide legal assistance to russia in this aggression against ukraine or in a systematic way, 8 and the evasion of sanctioning. joining me now is director of is a, is china institute at the university of london state saying, welcome to the chinese foreign minister when he is expected in moscow. today he talked to pace and munich at the same time, many suspect badging may be on the verge of supplying weapons to russia. they think

a weapons tried, is a possibility. i would be very surprised. each item is government will supplied weapon systems all ammunition to russia, which will trigger 2nd re sanctions on the western democracies. with the wandering from end can you blink and it will be clear to the chinese sanctions will be triggered. and i, i don't think they will have money if we play it out briefly by the u. s. secretary of state, anthony lincoln born, that china army, russia would have serious consequences. what could those consequences, b but those consequences, east secondary sanctions. chinese policy has been very clear from the start of the russian nations, and that policy is simply one of the hiring neutrality supporting protein and paying no price pay. no price means not tricky cricketing secondary sanctions

against china. but anything short of that, the chinese will go, why russia and support to, to talk about the possible us sanctions or secondary sanctions that you think europe would react? would it also be in line to sanctioned china if this goes ahead? well, the secondary sanction to something that was agreed by the united states and europeans and eyes, which was basically the formula for sanctioning russia that if china should allow late those specific warnings then i think the risk of china being subjected to sanctioned would be significant. and what entity brings and has said, essentially east to remind the chinese that would be the case. i suspect he's acting on intelligence that the u. s. intelligence community have collected and

therefore issue these warnings to pre and the risk of china making a mistake miscalculation political scientist and director of this is shawna institute at the university of london. steve thing, thank you so much. have a fighting bronze on g crimes east in front. nearly a year after russia launched its invasion, president salenti says russian losses are significant near the contested town of buck mood. but there has been a little change along the vast front line in recent months. stepped up, brushing assaults are expected this week with the anniversary of rushes. invasion, approaching. grant has been cooling on the west to deliver more weapons and ammunition which running out fast. these ukranian troops near the town are severe. ask you said time away from the fighting to hone their shooting skills, they will soon put them to use the trenches. after months on the back foot,

russian forces have gone on the offensive, talking at several points along a vast frontline, stretching from the black sea to but a ruse. they have made little progress, but their firepower is a problem for ukrainian defenders, for example, on em. but rico and artillery dark from all our fire and the russians can do it 5 times more. so it's very difficult for the guys who are standing, especially the 1st light. they feel it too much rational tillery is targeting civilians to what? in the town of holiday, this elderly woman recalls the moment a show it her apartment block. don't look no. i don't got the shower entered here, receipt not. and i was standing in the corner both bosky spoke. of the fridge fell unto me, probably one and i was dragged out from beneath it. i knew nothing. irina, the daughter of the neighbor got me out of the fridge somehow covered me wondering

a look of civilians living in areas under russian attack. no only fear the shelling in the harsh winter cold. they also lack heating and food. residents in the city of coupons, rely on food parcels brought in by volunteers. horsham, if we want to russia to leave us, why are they tormenting us for what? why are they torturing us in a after almost a year of war residents of bracing for further hardships in the embattled towns of eastern ukraine? earlier i spoke to special correspondent i in for him in key for the latest on the attacks in the east of the country. well, any details about what exactly is going on in the eastern front end, particularly what's going around the embattled tunnel buttonwood are very rare from both sides. but the town and the battle for it has become of huge symbolic

importance for both sides, both russian and ukrainian sites over the past weeks with reports of both sides sustaining massive casualties. but we heard just yesterday from president zalinski, a statement that might hint that ukrainian forces might retreat. he said that they will defend bought more, but not at every cost, perhaps signaling at the huge human cost that the battle for this particular town has cause. i mean, pre war buttonwood had a population about 70000. we know that that has been reduced to about 5000. and so there are now signs that we might have more definitive news about that particular battle. i have this week marks a year since russia invited ukraine, a people afraid of a major broadened russian offensive. yes, indeed. and i mean, it's just important to remember that at least here in the capital and virtually

everywhere else in the country of russian attacks or, and the threat of russian attack is a part of daily life on an almost daily basis. you have the air raid sirens, signaling that the city has come under attack. and my sense is, is that people, perhaps, are expecting something to happen. but at the same time, there's a sense of defiance and a sense that they want to carry on with their lives. despite that threat, and so there is a fear, there is an expectation that something might happen, but also at least here in the capital agreed sense of solidarity and soberness around this anniversary. the w. special correspondent, i baron, in keith, thanks so much. ok, let's look now some of the other stories making headlines around the world. this are brazilian or 30, so at least at least 36 people have been killed in heavy flooding. and lance lodge in the state of south palo, the trench around hit on kind of our weekend. whole neighborhoods are on the water
