3:00 pm
ah ah, russian law makers approve the deployment of troops abroad on the president's request of letting me push on. lo, says he has no immediate plans to use that authorization in the new recognized dumbass republics. but this comes off the president bush and recognized the independence of the students can look on sco public's pledging to ensure peace in the region. history. i'm certain we haven't been abandoned and that we have a future. we greeted the knees with tears and we are happy, at least there will now be order. the bombings will stop and people will be able to lead normal lives was told, it's better to put on a bullet proof vest for stop working. we are now waiting for the red cross who are going to deliver water. thanks for the people. here are correspondent reports from
3:01 pm
the don't boss as a workers deliver much needed supplies and made reports of c 5 on nations from both sides of the border. and the u. s. one is the un slapping sanctions on russia, while president barton describes moscow's actions in the beginning of an invasion. ah, la from oscar, thanks for joining us on our team to national and daniel hawkins, worthy well this evening. welcome to the program. now we thought with our headline news, this, our, the upper house of russia's parliament has approve the president's request to deploy the armed forces abroad. and so off to the lower house, ratified treaties of corp, we've been newly recognized. don't ask and look out for public earlier easy, but franco was within the studio to talk through the development. everything that's been said doesn't mean at the moment that the russian troops are marching across the border,
3:02 pm
that the army hardware is currently being sent over to the republics of don bass. mr. poo, pretty much said, well, for now we'll have to look at the situation. we'll have to see where this goes and if there is a necessity for it, in that case mister prudent could actually say, hey, well, now it's time to act. but at least this is something that the russian legal system requires. he's now got the green light from the opera house of the russian parliament to deploy russian troops abroad. again, like i said, if there is the need for that, now what that means for the locals. what that means for the situation on the ground perhaps, is that the ukrainian army won't be emboldened to further attack these 2 republics that have now been recognized by russia. we've heard from our
3:03 pm
correspondents on the ground that the night was much more silent. and this is indeed a sigh of relief for the russian speaking population of what used to be east ukraine. what used to be the regions of don, it's and logan's, now something else that was very important that mister putin made clear it, was that pretty much the minsk agreements don't exist any more. but despite what the western leaders are saying, president vladimir putin says that the key of is entirely to blame for it. because if we look at the 1st 2 key elements of the men's agreements, they are giving special status to the donors can lugens credence and also making changes to the gradient constitution that would give these 2 regions more autonomy and independence from kiev in many decisions. but under petro,
3:04 pm
portia ankle underwood dimmers and n lensky. none of these steps have been made by kiev. and here's what mr. prudence that exactly about this particular thing. these documents are signed by the hands of the days, republics. and we plan back then we achieved this compromise, and it wasn't an easy thing to do because initially the hands of you make sure that you did me this republics didn't even want to be a part of the main agreement. they didn't want to sign them, but finally we have breach compromise with you and your me. and it was really making a step towards reaching this fell agreement, resolving the situation by peaceful means. and yesterday, during the security council meeting, it was sad with the average. so the current keep authorities, it was all brought down to 0. that's why the mains the grants really it will
3:05 pm
be the they were destroyed the long before yesterday's recognition of the people's republic call don, that i mean, not by us, not by the representative solution. we can get all this republics, but by the acting of authority, as in yesterday's recognition of these republics was dictated by the fact that public li, the leadership of ukraine was saying he started saying that they had no plan of implementing the agreements because they didn't want to so what else was lot to said mister proven, went on to talk about how important these decisions are in the context of the actual will of the log goals. and he went back to talk about how the referendum inquire. mia happened when overwhelmingly the population there voted to join russia
3:06 pm
. we remember that to about to 7 years ago, that the peoples of dawn and skin lugens, these 2 don bass republics voted to be separated from ukraine. so mister bruton reminded the west of how important it is to listen to these people and called it the highest form of democracy. referring to these referendums suddenly, kiera doesn't want to know should happen from both sides or from, from keith. so that we considered the situation saddled women in long term perspective, so that not the situation come down and we wouldn't talk about any conflicts, especially aren't conflicts. so i don't think it, sir. secret that you refer is nothing secret about bad. the 1st thing that must be done by every one is to recognise the will of the people who leave and save us topple and crimea. i'm no good as it with them. can i have said that unmet which
3:07 pm
with many times so how different is this? when you, jim has these for a friend and was then in cost of this, will you expressing this? well, how different is it from? what happened cost? because there was a referendum there, and i would like to reiterate $1.00 more time. no one did that at gunpoint, no one for them to go to the voting stations. they did at voluntarily, and they made that decision to join russia and we should respect their decision. of course, the announcements that have been made by the most senior russian officials today are very important. but like i said, what will be more important is the final decision by the kremlin to physically send the troops and the hardware over to dawn back. like i said, mr. poodle has the green light to do that, but the decision is not yet been made when it happens that will definitely be
3:08 pm
breaking news, as well as some proper reaction from the likes of joe biden, who still hasn't announced his full reaction to everything that we heard from the kremlin and other senior russian officials today and the day before. meanwhile, russia was evacuated against them, as you saw from tier officer knew you were a threat to the safety, the foreign ministry of the q, ukraine, of failing to me, that somebody gave sions under the vienna convention to protect diplomats on it. so treat well, the us president has unveiled a raft of sanctions against russia, describing moscow's actions in all bus as the beginning of an invasion. so bought and also proved new military deployments to europe, which while ruling out direct conflict with russia, we have no intention of fighting russia. we want to send an unmistakable message though, that united states together with our allies, will defend every inch of nato territory. and of course,
3:09 pm
live throughout caleb open in new york. caleb, but thanks for staying across the story for us today. just tell us more about these new us sanctions. the 1st trance of us sanctions of the us president said, and what else you need to say. sure. well, we heard from joe biden, the president of the states, and his remarks were long awaited, but they were rather brief. when he spoke, he repeated much of what he has said about russia in the past. he said, quote, what gives him the right to declare new so called countries. of course, he's not acknowledging that the don at the people's republic and the people's republic of lugens were not declared by the russian president. they were declared by the peoples of those regions. way back in 2014, but regardless, we did hear biden go on to say that they'll be hitting the family members of various figures that are prominent in russia with sanctions. he also said that the
3:10 pm
nord stream to pipeline will not move forward. other than that, he wasn't very specific, he said there will be other sanctions that will be imposed on russia. but it wasn't the dramatic response. many were expecting there was no mention of the swift system and the kicking rush out of the international banking system. i've read that was originally level you know, others were wondering where this dramatic response that biden had been threatening actually was now white and did say that the united states has no intention of fighting russia. now that certainly flies in the face of the fact that the united states has been supplying the government and with quite a few weapons over the past few years. that nato has been expanding and sat around now in his remarks biden, accused of russia of engaging and what he called false flag events. and then he said there was no question that russia is the aggressor. so it's pretty clear that it's biting is disapproving of these moves, you know, taken by russia,
3:11 pm
recognizing the republics. it's pretty clear that there will be a new round of sanctions imposed on russia, but many are looking on and wondering if this really won't be as dramatic as us. officials have made it out to be over the past couple of weeks. quite an interesting and rather brief set of comments from joe biden like that will get back to you as a more commentary managers from the united states from washington. thanks so much now or another headlines, no more shopping in milan and parting in central bay. that's a tweet from the different mat burrell unveiling, sanctions russia over its recognition of the domain republic. the motion include travel bonds and asset freezes for russian. lawmakers. ortiz pool asleep reports. well, we're just hearing from you opin union foreign ministers saying that they will sanction 27 russians and entities. and this will include banks, the defense sector,
3:12 pm
and limit russian access to europe in financial markets. it will also include members of russia's duma, which is parliament's lower house and will involve things like travel benz an s at freezers. we've also heard from the e u commission chief saying, and i quote, we need to diversify our supplies and look for reliable suppliers. now all of this comes after a press conference earlier on tuesday was held by e n. c. stoughton berg, the nato secretary general. he said the most dangerous moment for you appear un security in a generation is what is being faced now. so quite a dramatic way of looking at things. he also has accused moscow of moving from covert to overt operations, saying that he has evidence that moscow is planning a large scale military invasion of ukraine. but he didn't give any examples of what that evidence is. and he went as far as to say that since 2014 russia has been
3:13 pm
operating in the don bus region. at the same time, he has accused the russian presidents recognition of little guns and a nets as independent entities as a serious escalation by russia and a flagrant violation of international law. and in fact, that's what we've been hearing some many in the international community. and here in europe is that this recognition violates international law violates ukraine sovereignty. and at the same time, a call on russia to step back. now this comes as we understand that more than a 100 aircraft are on high alert and these are aircraft belonging to nato. and some, a 120 allied ships are carry and away certainly seems as if nature is preparing for something. these are the military. that's course live now to georgia, oscar to gloss a member of greek parliament and former minister of foreign affairs. thanks for
3:14 pm
joining us tonight. good time in the program and 2 very different outlooks on the situation. you as president joe biden, claiming that russia has started an invasion of the crime, the russian government, claiming this is a step to stabilize. the reason i step to bring pace. very much different to size the story here. what, what are your thoughts? well, your read it, i do say that there are 2 stories here, but i think that we should start by saying that the for respect of international law is separate. it was it for any viable international relations and my cell phone though i fully support the necessity or osha to be fully integrated to our new system of security architecture in europe. wonder that it would satisfy also a security. i cannot say that that are going to use, you know,
3:15 pm
for that, but it is called any the national, lo and another think more important for the normal people who hear us. it was stamped the mission with the national borders in europe. we are open the doors of math house. so 1st, but i already did mostly now avoid generalize that war, given place to diplomacy to de escalate. this can scan it. hope that we had arranged some time to come this new new system for you to be on the security architecture after on europe is just coming home. i'd like to get your thoughts on something the u. s. president said earlier, joe biden said, russia is latest move constitutes that unusual and extraordinary threat, the national security and foreign policy of the united states. and we heard in his speech just a little earlier, he's pledging this an extra us troops to eastern europe. do you see roses moves as
3:16 pm
a threat to washington, and do you think that place to deploy extra troops to russia? borders will help a situation. this is a european issue, and ideally it should be earth out by europeans. we have made similar efforts, both the western european nations in the russia during the late ninety's in the framework of the organization for security and safety in europe. but now what i say before, i think it's valid, goes to for your question. it is not a military preparation that much less military confrontation that is going to give her. the answer diplomacy is what we need on a u. s. already anal sanctions on russia. lawmakers that includes travel bands, asset freezes. do you think that is likely to achieve anything? what do you think they you is frank to achieve with those moves we have seen in the
3:17 pm
past that section. so not the especially with that, especially with russia. that's why research my county had also said that the dialogue considered a violation of the national some responses should be given. so again, i believe that the way out is, are more than a sure is, are starting again. discussion sincerely. we've finally got the system for security architecture in europe that it is the 3rd time i mission. i'd like to return briefly to the, to the question of perspective with you because the russian government has long sought the example of the recognition of costco as a legal precedent for what they've done with an ask. and we've got republics and they saw the potential employment of peacekeepers of the region as a stabilisation. and the west, on the other hand says that's a false comparison, that by different situations and views what the russian government to doing as
3:18 pm
aggression on hostility. what are your thoughts? are there any power else here to call? so is there any truth in what the russian government is saying? this is among the european counties which has not recognized the cause of all that for you to be down this same line as we are. and on basic because senator jack is not the not to miss to with that. and that's going to borders, however, that out of some united nations statements that the course always a special case. i am not ready to discuss that. but the, i'm in my initial statement, it is very, very, very dangerous to, to play with his story. and we thought we'd have frontier in new york. yeah. and date and hopefully all sides. we'll get back to negotiation table and resolve any issues diplomatically so suddenly big hope on all sides. so jose control of member
3:19 pm
of the bottom i done for the minister of foreign affairs. thanks for your time. so good savvy with us on the program. many things now, russia's recognition or the dumbass republics has been welcomed by many people in those regions. is the reaction from locals and some of those who fled across the border to russia. we certainly does not. he follows region 14, i think he's in. i don't, i don't know. didn't you send it with? he knew he shot it with . i'm certain we haven't been abandoned and that we have a future liada and well, 1st and foremost,
3:20 pm
because now our people won't be killed anymore. i feel sorry for our people. it is a long hold for events. i think the whole internet watched the tv expectation. yes, they were greeted the knees with tears and we are happy. at least there will now be order. the bombings will stop and people will be able to lead normal lives or to and all. and he's been waiting for this for a long time. is the feeling that finally it's happened. ukraine's president says he's now considering severing diplomatic ties with russia. at the same time, vladimir savanski says he didn't think they would be an all out conflict. in an earlier address, he stressed that ukraine won't give anything to anybody. now, according to the signed agreements, rush will help to ensure the defense of the through publics that includes protecting their borders. it also allows the participants to create and use military bases on each other's territory. they will also recognize official documents, including passport roster will provide support for financial and banking systems in
3:21 pm
the to republics. the treaties will last 10 years and can be prolonged automatically. now, russia's recognition follows are 8 years of conflict and had on bus more than 13000 people have been killed since early 2014, many of them civilians, more than 23000 have been injured and over 1000000 displaced for now. several regions in don must have been cut off from the water supply and due to heavy shelling, our correspondent put on one cross of his knee and, and ask with this update. we are in the village of fi, glen of car, right outside the city of damascus. this place is a home to about that 1000 people. and it's so if a major major fighting of the last few days i was told, it's better to put on a bullet proof vest before thought working. oh, we are now waiting for the red cross who are going to deliver water. and thanks for the people here because as a result of shelling,
3:22 pm
water supply was cut off to the people here and to nearby towns as well. oh, and all about, well, more than 20000 people have no access to drinking water. the moment we are riding along with the red cross delivering water tanks to the people here we're driving right along the front line. the ukraine positions are merely just basically hundreds, all 5 meters away. but this, despite that, the, the red cross nice to deliver water tanks to a residence and they deliver to these a water tank up to 5 different locations in the village. this is for so told and technical water. they have also delivered a bottled water for those residents that say needed be international committee of that i cross is very concerned about the developments we have witnessed in the don bus over the past few days and times of conflict and violence. it is essential that
3:23 pm
all sides ensure the continuous supply of a sufficient quantity of drinking water as well as other essential basic supplies to meet the daily needs of the civilian population on both sides of the line of contact. unfortunately, the recent intensification of the fighting has again put certain keys central services at risk of coming to a full stop. the ice r c would like to stress that we vowed urgent action to protect essential services . in areas where the hostilities take place. we might face humanitarian implications at the large scale, much longer. shuttling over the last 2 weeks has become very frequent. people were evacuated from their homes and we were left without water. the red cross is bringing us water supplies. for 8 years we have been waiting for the republic to be recognised and now it's happened. so we won a more than $93000.00 refugees of fled. the don bus to russia or to donald quarter
3:24 pm
was in the 3rd row seat here, ross on dawn with a group of volunteers helping the new arrived. over the past several days, we've been seeing thousands and thousands of evacuees coming from the don boss region that it's just been recognized as independent from ukraine. and some estimates even suggest that somewhere near 100000 of them may have crossed the border into the russian federation over the past several days. right behind me, you could see ball and tears that have come from the suburbs of moscow for moscow itself. and even that's from the most part, even from other regions, they've come as well to help out in the effort to make sure that these evacuees are living well. that while it wasn't until they can go back home, basically what you know. and you'll also notice that before the bit behind the volunteers, you see here are trucks, they're huge transport trucks. those are supplies that the ruling party and russia,
3:25 pm
the united russia party has organized to be sent here to aid the evacuee is coming from don boss. these supplies that they've organized, they consist mostly of food, water on hygienic products, products, things that basically people need for their basic needs. now, this is the 1st major shipment we've seen that just arrived in russia's rust off region. where over a 100 of temporary housing facilities for evacuees have been set up where evacuees have been living temporarily until they're moved to other areas in russia for longer term stay. so as you can see, the people behind me are really excited about coming here to help volunteering to help those in need until they can go back to their homes. in don boss, we're gonna have to see how the situation develops there. and yeah, you know, when they'll be able to go home. well that's it for this. our join us in a few minutes. saw him for the cause a report up next we're back in 30 minutes will, will very like just updates. join us again that on all teens and ash,

oh hi, i'm max kaiser. this is the kaiser report. all kinds of neat stuff to get into today . stacy, well, you might notice that we are back in the united states of america where it is a little bit colder than el salvador. everybody in the comments and online and around the world. there's loving the interview with dr. felix viola, who is the vice president of our salvador. and if you could tell he's like a really thoughtful compassionate man. and with a very fascinating background and history and story and an understanding of the people and the history of el salvador. so it's been really wonderful to watch that
