ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live for them to president can pay for hearts and minds in the world divided over the war and you cry. dave, stay strong, he stays brown. he stayed strong and most reporter stands brute, as he wraps up his diplomatic to

a warsaw and keep you as president joe biden will make ladies of nato's eastern flank to drive home us support and russian president vladimir put rails against the waist in his alternate vision for a new will border with russia sakes back and elsewhere around the globe for its waters in g crime. also coming up, no safe place to live. the earthquakes and turkey have been especially difficult for syrian refugees, with hardly any means to rebuild their lives. once again, and berlin gives legend bri filmmaker, steven spielberg, a golden bear, hug his credits, include some of the best loved to blockbusters in cinema history, building film festival on the skill book with a lifetime achievement. ah,

i'm anthony. how'd walk into the program this way? the russian invasion of ukraine hits the one g mock on tuesday to precedence vladimir pertinent joe biden, presented portraits of the war that could not be more different. addressing cheering crowds in warsaw bought and vowed russia will never win in ye crime. i was early, a putin falsely accused the west of staffing his war and said he'd suspend russia's last major nuclear arms control treaty with the us. 2 presidents door of the 2 speeches blocking a portion of the last 2 very different visions of the war in ukraine rock up steel . as the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion approaches, president vladimir putin showed little sign of backing down wages. putin's lengthy address reiterated a long list of grievances against the west, and once again framed his invasion of ukraine as a fight for russia's survival. really to suffer,

the miss cut over the western elites, do not conceal their goal. so as they say, it's a direct quote to bring russia a strategic defeat to it. what does it mean and what is it for us? it means to end us once. and for all of that, you as a state of the nation address, much of the russian president speech was directed at the russian audience. laudable opening it, but it closed with a stock warning for the rest of the world news ab, absolutely. they want to inflict a strategic defeat on us and try to get to our nuclear facilities here. in this regard, i am forced to announce to day that russia is suspending its participation in the strategic offensive arms treatment. and what is that agreement known as the new start treaty placed the limits on the total number of long range nucular weapons that both russia and the us could have. many fear that russia's suspension only increases the risk of a new killer confrontation than with you. but in a fiery address outside poland, royal castle in warsaw. u. s. president joe biden chose not to rise to the bait

artist, but instead he presented a very different view of the conflict. so that i, i speak once more to the people of russia. united states, nations of europe, do not seek to control or destroy russia. the west was not plotting to attack russia, as brutus said to day, and millions of russian citizens. all we want to live in peace with our neighbors, are not the enemy. just a day off to his historic visit to cave biden drove home the message that western support for ukraine will last, as long as it takes one year to this war. full no longer doubts the strength of our coalition. but he still doubts our conviction. but there should be no dow, our support if re gray will not waver. nader will not be divided and we will not tire given eyes as the one year anniversary of the invasion approaches. the

conflict shows no sign of ending or you and the 2 sides appear as far apart as ever were in the north and nearly one year into the war. russian and ukrainian troops, a locked in battle without either side, making significant progress. much discussion is focused on weapons and ammunition, but both sides also need soldiers to use them. they doubly looks now at where the troop numbers can make the difference on the battlefield. was near the town that had seen some of the bulls, most veracious and prolonged fighting ukrainian soldiers laid their how it st. and fire work, they load it up and fire again. one shall after the other directed and russian troops pushing forward towards back, moot, little to hold with a little now. do they manage to advance hockey's little funnel? they do it through massive attacks and

a large amount of manpower mobility when the enemy comes to our positions. and there are a lot of them will, you know, they have much more firepower when our infantry has to retreat to more favorable positions, support portal. mark you, sir, because we didn't put with the units. shells appear to be hitting the target. the media officer of the 80th assault brigade saying russian casualties are literally mounting. but every dead russian soldier is replaced by another. they're just the, the replaces, were their bodies. i just piled off the, there's a trench where they just don't evacuate, they're wounded or killed and they just leave them there and sent more waves and waves of people. wow, it's agree, some image and a claim that cannot be verified with independent access to the frontline limited. it's impossible to count the dead or ascertain how many trips are fighting well. but there is widespread consensus that moscow has

a larger pool of people to draw from and is ready to do so with force if necessary . these are pictures from september when the kremlin announced the mobilization of 300000 reservists, prompting protests and defiance among russian men of fighting age. for her, they are fears another cruel up as eminence potentially sending tens of thousands more troops into battle welling and not russia's president recently suggested that he didn't distinguish between his fighters, the brenwood volunteers with those who signed a contract and serve under that contractor. those who came for military service through mobilization, believable, they all carry out their sacred duty to the home loud and clear. everybody is equal . we should before the homeland repeatedly written with miss. mm hm. and terms of she, a manpower ukraine, and russia's armies are like david and goliath,

but that's not all there is to it. say keith and its allies. russia continued to introduce a large numbers of troops into or into the theatre. those troops, sure ill equipped and they all train and because of that there are incurring a lot of casualties and we expect that that will continue. oh, statements like that are unlikely to reach many people and russia, just like the ukranian claim of russian bodies piling up near the back mode frontline thought with countless russian soldiers failing to return home after a year of war. more men of fighting age could have valid reasons to say they're unwilling to become cannon fodder and proteins room of all that if it plays out like that biblical tail of david and goliath won't be decided by trip numbers alone . think of li correspondent, funny fashion is in keep she told me earlier,

what ukrainians made of prison abide and speech about supporting the war if it in the crime to them. this is a ray of hope. one has to understand that there's simply not much to smile about you in ukraine since russia unleashed is full scale invasion nearly a year ago. so president biden 1st coming here to key of actually it was at the side for i'm standing right now on monday. and then headed straight to saw to reaffirm the american commitment to support as he says that this country quote, as long as it takes is just very important to people here. it means a lot to them. but at the same time, of course, it's combined to this sense of urgency. he, amongst people that they are saying it's very important, of course, that the u. s. is rhetorically reaffirming its commitment, but they need to be, of course more. that means weapons that really help to repel russian forces and not just air defense system. see, of course important to protect people here in the ground. but people are really

calling for this fight. the jester calling for this long range missiles. the latter, that was part of a discussion between president lensky and president biden. but there is no decision so far, actually by the those weapons are ever going to be delivered to ukraine. so yes, it was important for ukrainians to hear this again in the light of the fact also that the 1st year in versus just approaching, they need to hear that you asked to really stand side by side that ukraine. but then again, there's also the sense of urgency and that time is running he and running out in the light of the fact that russia is planning this major offensive. this spring. it broadens woods, followed those of vladimir putin in the state of the nation address in moscow. how people reacted to prudence, nuclear threats in particular. it's not the 1st time that ukrainians here, this stat a basically russia is blackmailing the rest of the world. stop supporting ukraine, back off, west basically. otherwise you're just going to

a threaten ukraine. are with nuclear arsenals. so it's up the 1st sunday here, i have to sales, it's not a topic amongst people here because they really struggle just to think about how to survive with the challenges that they face. i'm not just talking about the front lines. obviously we're think so much harsher even, but also in the capital are people wake up trying to make up their minds now? is there going to be like tricity in the house? is they going to be running water? and then again, of course, is there going to be a larger scale air offensive now, ahead of the anniversary or on friday on february 21st. so people, i knew this already, they don't really need to listen to vladimir putin speech actually saying that he suspends that euclid treaty and threatening to use a nuclear arsenal to test in nuclear arsenal. any time soon. and with all those politics aside, what can you tell us about the situation on the battlefield? zalinski has been hinting at a withdrawal from pac mode before. quote,

everyone dies. what i ukrainians being told exactly. it's very, very difficult to establish the full picture. what is exactly actually happening in back moment? it's been a lot of focus on that town. it is done yet screeching, which is of symbolic importance for russia and something that they would like to present as a victory actually ad of the anniversary. to say that there is an advancement here because there wasn't much actually doing what they call or the a winter offensive, but we do not know exactly what is happening. they are what we do now, however, that people are suffering in but mood. this was a town with 70000 people before the war, about 5000 civilians still remain in the how the shall town. and it's not just about also the liberated city, the regional capital, a free of house and region in the south has been attacked. at least 6 people have been killed. these are civilians that were waiting at the bus station. so again,

if you come back to the 2nd question, it's not a nuclear threat that makes people nervous here, but try to live the daily lives, go to work, waiting at the bus station and not knowing actually whether they will make it to work because of the continuous, a firing at towns at villages at ms country by russia. they doubly, it's funny for sure and keep many thanks. a meeting between china's top diplomat and russia's foreign minister is about to get underway in moscow. when he said to meet with surgery, love for of, with the talks coming just days out from the one year anniversary of russia's invasion, a few cried wang has been attending a series of ladies in moscow yesterday telling one of president putin's closest allies that by james relationship with russia is quote, rock solid kremlin spokesperson says a meeting between wang and bruton is also possible. joining us now state of the russia analyst, konstantin exit. konstantin,

china's top diplomat. when you use meeting today with the foreign minister. so good luck, prov. officially. what is this meeting about? well, it is as always in russian chinese relations. the agenda is cloaked in generalities, bilateral ties bilateral interests, stuff like that. but i think that it's correct to assume that it is a very important visit van lee, who has been promoted from just foreign minister, just the diplomat to essentially top foreign policy coordinator of the whole of the chinese regime. and has been meeting with president zalinski before and the rumors that eventually china, maybe the chairman sitting, being may make present a piece plan that did plan of mediation between russia and ukraine. and i suppose that if vandy does meet putin as, as a said is possible, ah,

then we will, we are really on the cusp of some kind of a major initiative. which is, which is something that probably also the americans would like to see. china says it's thinking of role in a possible peace settlement between russia and ukraine. it's so how much influence does china really have a russia? well, russia's been increasingly dependent on china over the last years, not only after the full scale invasion of ukraine last year. and this dependence now deepened with the brush, very much depending on china are on, on essentially buying its energy supplies. it's hydrocarbons. but i do not think personally that chinese as influential as to put a push for them and put it towards some kind of meaningful settlement and wish you will have to give away something significant to ukraine. i do nothing put in is ready for it. and frankly speaking, i do not think zelinski in the ukraine and people are ready for it. i think that

china, me present its initiative, but i dont have high hopes for in what then does russia want? what is russia hoping to get from wayne gaze visit? well, it's always, it presents the image of a country that is not in isolation. it talks to china, talks to indonesia, talked to south africa. i, i actually, i think it's a very interesting how active love rob, especially, was to, in gathering support around the world for moscow. amount of the so called global south brazil, an nigerian source for i'm so i think that what in moscow wasn't wants to show it's not isolated and 2nd lives want. it will want to sure. and i'm sure that the russian communicators will be in a sort of formulated and such a weight wants to show that it is not only not alone, but it is in fact supported by b, g, d, w. constantine,

a good. thank you so much. thank you. ok, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world to sell nigeria as presidential candidates were president holding the final rallies in the run up to saturdays election. it's considered the 1st poll since military rule, in which a candidate who isn't from one of the 2 main parties, stands a chance to win or amend to new booth from the willing old progressives. congress a p. c. party is favored to wit. a german iranian man has been sentenced to death in a brothel. $6070.00 wrong jam. she'd shamartha had was convicted in connection with a 2008 moscow bombing support. as a ledge, he was abducted overseas and forcibly returned to iraq. japanese government says he didn't get a fair trial and has condemned the death the centaurs attach or more. seattle has become the 1st us city to bend discrimination on the basis of cost the hindu system

weeks after massive trim has hit the region killing more than 47000 people and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless displeased for the 2nd diamond 2 weeks. the nightmare continued. cecilia refugees and doki there once again, forced to flee. going what will belongings they have been able to salvage from destroyed homes. not although we were bombarded and serial lot houses collapsed on us. but we were not scared now that because we would hide behind something of the arm of the dead because now we are afraid of the walls aren't. we don't know if the roof or the floor would hit us. this is to say that this is terrifying, especially for children. hey, other was the rumble of what you might have. we were horrified after the last earthquake. we wanted to flee and find shelter that we don't feel safe with a roof of her head. after each tremor we feel as if it may collapse. the house does not stand any more. many have taken shelter,

intense despite freezing conditions. the latest, oh, quick has added to the misery of people in the region. across the border, a un delegation visited northern syria to assess the damage we came to see what the needs were. that's huge, needs in shelter in health as a need for fresh water for sanitation. on of course, removal of debris, even before the quakes, people who had been living in extreme misery much needed humanitarian aid has been delayed due to the fractures of the ongoing civil war. since the disaster, more than 140 truck scouting you and id have entered from turkey,

doorbell held areas, but cross border it has been slow to reach the worst affected rescue was in southern brazil are facing a rising rather defined survivors. after record, ryans caused deadly flooding and mud slides over the weekend. the severe weather has been blamed for the deaths of at least 46 people. some areas more than twice the normal monthly rainfall came down in just 24 hours. in some places, the streets are too narrow or the terrain too steep for heavy equipment. rescue is use shovels, axes, and they bare hands to try to find survivors. fire fighters and volunteers formed human chains to remove the debris, piled up in the streets in this suburb of south sebastian in sao paolo state. this is where the default was at its worst. yeah, was that there was a very loud noise. wait. so my son went to see it,

and when he got there, my balcony had already fallen and was breaking his wall. and that's when he started screaming, run every one, the walls falling. so the curiosity of my son to go and look, saved us. otherwise we would all be dead. nobody would be alive here because it was too fast. the houses fell all at once, all of them together. some were not so lucky if he's made saxony very difficult. i mean it's awful. a bit of a searching for our mom under the ground without knowing if she's there or not. it's difficult. it is a month's rainfall fell in one weekend. the hillsides simply gave way. authority say nearly 2500 people are displaced or homeless, and more rainfall is forecast in the coming days. to sports now and in the champions league, a repeat of last year's final saw liverpool take on rail madrid. in the last 16,
