between the 2 nations even further, was as fighting rages in the embattled ukrainian city of bachman. we'll look at keith's plans to watch a potential counter offensive this spring. also coming up tonight or us baking troubles, ready here to europe. shares in switzerland, the 2nd biggest bay pretty swiss hit record loads. today, investors are still smoothed after the collapse of california. silicon valley bank on friday. ah, i'm burned. com to our viewers watching on tv as of the united states into all of you around the world, welcomed us defense secretary, lori austin, and his russian counterpart, sergey shaw. you have spoken to each other about tuesday's drone incident over the black seat. and the u. s. military says that a drone was in international airspace went to rush and jets dumped fuel on it,

causing it to crash. austin had some sharp words for moscow. after that, into on tuesday, russian aircraft engaged and dangerous and reckless and unprofessional behavior. in the international airspace over the black sea to russian jets dump fuel on an unmanned u. s. m. q 9 aircraft conducting routine operations in international airspace. and one rush and jet struck r m m q 9 aircraft, resulting in a crash. this hazardous episode is a part is part of a pattern of aggressive risk and risky and unsafe actions by russian pilots in international airspace. now i just got off the phone with my russian counterpart minister showing as i've said repeatedly, it's important that great powers be models of transparency and communication and

united states will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows . well, 24 hours and one phone call. later i asked our corresponded in washington, carolina, joy, what do we know today that we did not know yesterday? love aren't we clearly see we just heard it from secretary all sin and that the u. s. government does not want to escalate this incident today. yes. a critique of defense like austin that he talked to his rational counterpart as who each assert. and he referred to yesterday's incident as a troubling episode and said that it was thing to resent unprofessional, and reckless. but he also said that this is part of that pattern of aggressive and risky actions from russia. however, he added that the us does not seek an armed conflict with russia, and at that the u. s. will continue flying international space and that it's up to

russia to encounter of the us aircraft in a safe and a professional manner. this is a clear alert towards russia, but nothing more than that. they don't want to escalate the situation. and in that a pentagon briefing, we also learned that they are not certain if this encounter a yesterday was intentional or general milly. he said that the aggressive behavior was intentional, but the actual that the actual physical contact of the aircraft that they are not sure if that was intentional as well. yeah, and that is a slight change from what we heard yesterday. what about the drone itself? i mean, is the wreckage? is it still in the black sea somewhere? yes, the wreckage is still in the in the black sea it's around 5000 feet off water. and we know that it is also deep in the sea, and that it is very unlikely that they will be able to to recover it. we also know

that will sensitive information in the drone wants to lead us before the aircraft westborough down. so if there was important information that brent in that drone, that is not the case any corresponding currently the 2 or more with the latest you know, from washington carlene is always thank you as ukrainian forces continue to hold off a month one attempt by russia to take the eastern city of bock mood. keith is now signaling that it is gearing up to watch a counter offensive. many are pending their hopes on new western weapons, including german made leopard tanks, which are due to arrive suit. the new hardware could help you green break still made in many areas, and it could help ukraine to take back new territory. russian artillery fires on past mode. after months of attempts to take the city. ukraine has forced its enemy to commit major resources and take tens of thousands of casualties. the ukrainian

military says it's buying time for a spring counter offensive. part of the preparations for that counter offensive are happening far from the front lines in spain. ukrainian troops are finishing their training on advanced western tanks. they hope the leopards will be a game changer on the battlefield until now ukraine has been using older russian model tags. ukrainian troops are getting training from nato forces elsewhere to like here in the u. k. learning the art of combined arms warfare, how to coordinate all the high tech weaponry with infantry assaults. on the front, a tank commander has high expectations. knows the concepts and tactics of tank usage and battle will significantly change. because western tanks have a higher firing range. and other capabilities like a digital information field. if this equipment is used properly, one can destroy the enemy before the enemy approaches its firing range to her

pooler. analysts say ukraine will likely amount a major attack in shop a reason province. aiming at the russian held city of melita, paul, a successful push would cut through russia supply lines to its forces further west . there are factors like whether they can only be guessed at not controlled. spring mud can slow or stop tank advances, bogging down the russians and ukrainians alike. that means the timing and the target of any counter offensive, or still a mystery, which is just the way ukrainian commanders wanting in with many of the best western weapons still to arrive in ukraine. i asked military analyst frank lead wage when he expects this ukrainian counter offensive to begin. i would expect this in early may. the vehicles it was mentioned in that report tanks, infantry viking vehicles and so forth. plus the adequate training of the many

troops required will be if not maximum point, they will be adequate, i think. and you claims, needless to say, have to balance the, the troops available with the time time left as it were in the fighting season. or later in the year. so yeah, early may ought to just late april and we know ukrainian troops have been finding a buckle now for more than 7 months. could losses their jeopardize caves, ability to launch an effective counter offensive. i mean, do the law of diminishing returns, begin to said in from what we're told or from reports, it seems clear that that's the view of the u. s. advisors or the u. s. high command . the utility or the balance of casualties, the diminishing returns. you talked about was, are starting to kick in now in other words, you claim these are affecting lots of casualties, but they're taking too many. but the overall answer the question,

brent is no. this will not impact the overall thrust of the counter offense. and the reason is this ukraine is preparing quite a large force currently. not yet, as far as we know, but certainly it's not been deployed yet. reports how that the developing about 3 corps, which would be around 9 divisions or so we're looking at $60000.00 troops or thereabouts, that kind of scale back of the envelope stuff. and it's that force that will spearhead the counter offensive wherever. and whenever it is comprised, of course of those troops you saw in the report and many others that have been trained. so the bottom, yes it's, it's, it's, it's bleeding also, but it's not decisive. and i assume you're expecting then ukraine to be able to make some serious gains with this counterfeit. we shouldn't expect rapid gains. the russians had been preparing to receive this

offensive. now for about 4 months, they have prepared some, quite had the engineering works to resist ukraine. and it will take some time and a great deal of effort to get through those. so this isn't going to, if this is unlikely to be assuming those in his operation, this counter offensive to be a sort of rapid thrust with collapsing russian forces, the russian forces very stolid and historically tend not to collapse in the way the parts we. some of us would like, let's also not ignore the possibility defense. it may not go in to miller to poll to cut that road crime, it may go elsewhere. some people might say, department might be placed with a we, cont, russian force that surprises a cheap, but look, none of us knows the answer. the question is, is unlikely to be a rapid strike straight through to the coast and a lot harder than that. and we've talked numerous times about how the success levels really depend on the types and the amounts of western weapons that the

ukrainian forces have. and at what time they have access to those. so you've got all of these variables. is it any clearer at this point, what a victory is going to look like for you? correct? they stated very clearly that victory for us is the return of all our territories. generals allergy said that last year has been repeated many times since that would include crimea. now the question for the west and particularly united states is what they tolerate under this is a question really of tolerate what they allow. let's say you cry to make that move into crime if in the happy event they managed to break through those russian lines . that strategy so far, publicly, at least, is extremely unclear, often contradictory to us. so we don't know, but i would suspect that that might be serious consideration given to the potential russian response. one attack on crimea to go forward or a long way from that yet. you know, there's also a u. s. presidential election next year that people are talking about who we have

that we can't forget about that rank lead frank leverage. it's always, it's good talking to you. we appreciate your insights. thank you. thank you. so let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. russian president vladimir putin and his syrian counterpart, assad holding talks in moscow focusing on mending syrian times with turkey. as well as rebuilding war torn syria, wednesday, march the 12th anniversary of the start of the uprising that triggered the country's civil war. in thousands of syrians have rallied in rebel held it to mark the start of that pro democracy protests. back in march of 2011, the it live area in the countries northwest is the last major area, not under the control of president of san russian bank force. more than a dozen people who died in flash floods in south eastern turkey, many more are missing after heavy rainfall sent water surging through streets in

homes. more than 1000000 people are living in temporary shelters in the region following last months. devastating. earthquakes, worries about the stability of the banking system have spread from the united states to here in europe. shares in credit suisse fell to a record low today after the lenders, biggest shareholder, saudi national bank, said no to a new cash infusion. the swiss national bank says that it is willing to make funds available if need be, but it is stress that it thinks the lender has adequate levels of capital. concerns of been growing about banks, the quit at ease on both sides of the atlantic following the collapse of silicon valley bank in the us last week. i'm janelle, by nicholas their own. he is a senior fellow at the think tank. brutal in brussels and at the peterson institute

for international economics in washington, d. c. nicholas is good to see you again. 48 hours later. here we are still talking about baking problems. today's massive sheer price drop at credit suisse. the saw these saying no extra money from us is this contagion coming from the u. s. to europe. i don't think it's ricky contagion credit. trish has had problems for some time, so in a way to parlance story and by happenstance the stories come together in the same week. so the u. s. story of say, confided fang, signature bank author problems linked with tech sector and 2nd valley. and the 3 of credit which is very specific has been observable for some time, but it also a big story because that's a very big back and the, and sore so that pounds you to weighs. there's a compounded effect in terms of the concerns of marketplace. so how concerned are

investors or should investors b right now? i mean, with a look at the markets here in europe, how fragile do they appear? i don't if you credit shoes as really a european story, i view it as a swiss and global story because that's a very global bank which happens to be headquartered in switzerland, but has actually, is really in many different places. very much in to believe. you mentioned saudi arabia as a former equity investor while still a shareholder and also a lot taneesha. so it's not and of course switzerland is not in the european union . so if you look at the impact of the credit story, it has had some impact on european bank shares, which have gone down with those on us bank shares. which to me, it is quite natural in nichols me ask you if we had not seen these bank failures in the united states in the last few days. do you think that the saudis would have just given extra cash to their credit suisse, and it would've been a big story. again, i think these are to polish stories. so of course,

when they were no, but if there had been no problems or us, i think it's very plausible that credit chips would still have hot, essentially the same problems that we've seen this week. but you know, will never know. and frankly, there is a lot of information that may be supervised or you sort he's hovel, are collecting about, could choose and who is exposed to risk in case of credit, he's going into a more difficult situation. but that's not really shared into a public domain at this point. so i guess we will discover more in the next few days. there is a lot of talk about the u. s. federal reserve pulling back on its interest rate hikes because of banking worries in the united states. what about the european central bank? should it follow the lead of the u. s. fed? i'll give a response. that sounds like the central bank bank are talking. i'm not the central banker, but central banks are focused on inflation and on their mandate and into european

central banks mandate to squarely about price stability. so, so to train is that that shouldn't prevent them from doing what they have to do to fight inflation. the reality is a little bit more nuanced, but i think by and large they will remain focused on inflation and manage whatever happens in the financial sector with other instruments and if necessary, crisis management. having said that, at this point, there is no financial crisis into your with interested in clinton and he can valley bank. it isn't us. there has been no share. prices have gone down for some banks, but not dramatically. and so there is no indication as we speak. i'm not, i don't know what may come out tomorrow, but as we speak, there is no indication of banking crisis into yours on. yeah, that's clear words there. nicholas, there is no banking crisis here in the euro zone. nicholas their own is always we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. thanks for having me. again. a court in pakistan has ordered authorities to temporarily stop their attempts to

arrest the former prime minister in wrong con. now this decision comes on the 2nd day of violate clashes between con, supporters and police. dozens of officers and protesters were injured in these altercations. you see right there police been trying to arrest the alfred premier at his home in la hor for failing to appear in court on corruption charges. let's have a closer look at the situation to night in pakistan. using water cannon and tear gas pakistan ride police pushed back supporters of iran. cons p t. i. party who gathered outside his house in law hor to prevent the authorities from arresting him. con was as to from office by a no confidence vote last year and has been snarled and legal wrangled since the government says con, so to state gifts while in office, but the one time cricket superstar says the case is politically motivated,

the authorities want to stop his party from taking part and forthcoming elections. how you will saudi will they are pushing the p t i party against the wall a morton that they want to exclude me from politics. that's the reason they came to rest me with my not going to be was it is your plugger now. it's the latest sign of instability in pakistan, a nuclear power. the country is reeling from an economic crisis on risks defaulting on its loan obligations, unless it can secure an international monetary fund baylash. the security situation is also deteriorating, with the space of deadly attacks on police headquarters linked to the pakistan taliban. dozens of police and con supporters were injured and choose days operation footage shows tear gas canisters landing inside cons garden. although police did not appear to breach the gate, or the wall con, has been pressuring the coalition government that replaced him, led by prime minister shabba sharif. with popular rallies and daily addresses last

year, khan was shelton to leg during a political rally and assassination bid that he blamed on sharif metix in northern syria have launched a campaign to vaccinate about $90000.00 people against cholera. they're trying to stop an outbreak of the disease which began last year. the risk of contagion has increased following last months. devastating earthquake. a cap for internally displaced people in it live prov in syria. one of the last areas not held by the government, which is not helping residents here recover from the quakes. now, after years of hardship and war, the latest threat is cholera. a deadly disease that spreads through contaminated food and water. at least 26 people have died in recent months of cholera and northwestern, syria. the vaccination teams that are heading out now aim to reach tens of

thousands of residents. but the task is monumental for them to her. the fear of, you know, the, i think that there are about 4000000 people living in areas outside government control. the united nations has provided more than 1700000 doses of vaccine local authorities have recorded more than 500 cases of the disease. it's a race against time. the earthquake destroyed sanitation infrastructure and clean water supplies or we'll call that on a caller of vaccine is safe and effective. god, willingly. we hope all the residents will cooperate with us and will take the vaccine in order to eradicate the disease. in these areas in which include many camps with poor sanitation. so we're working on shielding our people before the disease spreads widely called an shuttle model shiftless. if it works, the vaccination campaign will protect the people stuck year from one hazard,
