5:00 pm
[000:00:00;00] ah ah, russian will make his approve the deployment of troops abroad on the president's request . but latimer potent says he has no immediate plans to use authorization in the newly recognized don't boss republics? well this comes off to president putin recognize the independence of that and that's going to look out for public's pleasure to ensure peace in the region here. 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 before stop working. we are now waiting for the red cross who
5:01 pm

5:02 pm
mean at the moment that the russian troops are marching across the border that the russian army hardware is currently being sent over to the republics of don bass. mr. poo pretty much said well of, 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, mr. 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,
5:03 pm
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 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, was that pretty much as 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 minsk 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
5:04 pm
autonomy and independence from kiev in many decisions. but under petro porsha ankle, hon dimmers, and n lensky. none of these steps have been made by key of and here's what mr. poodle said, 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 in this republics didn't even want to be a part of the mains agreements. they didn't want to sign them. but finally we have breach compromise. and it was really making a step coverage, 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,
5:05 pm
it was all brought down to 0. that's why the man's agreements 1000000 meet the they were destroyed, the little girl long before the man yesterday's recognition of the people's republic. call the don that i mean, not biopsy to me, not by the representative solution. we can use all this republics, but by the way, you're acting, the key of authority is and yesterday's recognition of these republics was dictated by the fact that public li, their leadership with ukraine. and that was the way he started saying that they had no plans 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 bees decisions are in the context of
5:06 pm
the actual will of the locals. and he went back to talk about how the referendum inquired me of happened when overwhelmingly the population there voted to join russia. we remember that about 7 years ago, the peoples of dawn and scan lugens. these 2 don bass republics voted to be separated from ukraine. so mister, put, reminded the west of how important it is to listen to these people and call it the highest form of democracy. referring to these referendums certainly does not want to know should happen from both sides from, from here. so that we consider to fruition these situation, settled in a long term perspective. so that the situation count down and we wouldn't talk about any conflicts, especially aren't conflicts. so i don't think it's a secret and she was there is nothing secret about that. the 1st thing that must be
5:07 pm
done by everyone is to recognise the will of the people who leave to and have us topple and crimea. i'm not gonna sit with you and i have sent that unmet achumba to many times. cool. so how different is this? when you, jim has these referendum wives and costs with this, will you expressing this will? how different is it from what happened kosovo because there was a referendum there and i would like to reiterate one more time, which to no one did that. but i think at gunpoint, no one for them to go to the voting stations. they did it voluntarily, and they made that decision to join garage and we should respect their decision, of course. so 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 at physically send the troops and the hardware over to dawn back. like i said,
5:08 pm
mr. poolgan has the green light to do that, but the decisions not he had been made when it happens that will definitely be 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 that to day and the day before. i mean while rushes evacuating in sam as you start from cave after numerous threats their safety . before a ministry has accused ukraine of failing to meet its obligations under the vienna convention to protect diplomats on its territory. in other headlines are no more shopping in milan and partying in central k. that's e. you sought diplomat joseph burrell. tweets with force with deleting it after brussels snap sanctions on the list of influential russians over the recognition of the dumbass republics ortiz, fullest. leah has more well,
5:09 pm
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, 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
5:10 pm
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 operating in the don bus region. at the same time, he has accused the russian presidents recognition of low guns and annette's 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 from 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 currently underway. so certainly seems as if nato is
5:11 pm
preparing for something visa v. a military us, they've secretary answered a blank and has just finished his speech on the russia ukraine crisis. one major take away from that is that he announced he will cancel his scheduled meeting with russia's foreign minister psych elaborate. so let's draw a lot out what his caleb opened in new york. caleb a change then in plans full blinking about his meeting with love or else just bring it up to speed. what more has been said by both the foreign secretary and indeed by the secretary state rather, and indeed us president lily? sure. we just heard from antony blank and the us secretary of state. he was speaking alongside the ukrainian foreign minister. and essentially, we are to reiteration of what was said by biden earlier, he went into specifics about the sanctions that are going to be imposed on russia. the list of individuals who will be targeted,
5:12 pm
some other financial moves that'll make it harder for russia to do business on the international markets. there was talk of accusing russia, essentially they call this a further invasion of ukraine, et cetera. now it's important to know that when biden spoke earlier, he actually talked about how new troops from the united states are being deployed to europe. however, by and did say that he has no intention of a full on direct confrontation with russia. here's what biden said earlier. 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. now biden has also made clear that he intends to keep the north stream to natural gas pipeline from being turned on. furthermore,
5:13 pm
biden has basically accused russia of declaring that these republics existed. when in reality, these republics were declared in 2014 in response to the u. s. a destabilizing and overthrowing the ukrainian government. and they've been asking for the recognition of russia since 2014 and russia has waited all this time for the minsk agreements to be implemented by ukraine. why that didn't happen? they finally did step up to the plate and recognize these republic. so we're hearing many of the similar distortions of this situation. we heard them from blank, and now we heard them from binding earlier. we expect to hear them later when the white house makes comments. so we're hearing the similar script from us officials regarding the recognition of these republics, the sanctions are being rolled out. they are saying nordstrom to pipeline will not be turned on. we haven't heard much about these allegations that this, this plan that they had to turn off the swift banking system, which was a threat that has been leveled. we're waiting to see what happens next. we expect more words from washington. so indeed,
5:14 pm
thanks for that update. katy will get back to you over the coming hours and days as we get more information and we can go straight live to our next guest. now eric lucy and then basically you historian and journalist. thanks for joining us. good cyber know programs that i really appreciate your time. now, i suppose at the major taking point from blinking speech is that council meeting with survey? laugh off. how much of a blow is that going to be in terms of different magic efforts? i don't think very much because lincoln is, is eyes are not blinking. they are shot regarding any evidence that contradicts his allegations. and it was a very frustrating encounter. always between himself and love. rob, when you looked at the read out on both sides,
5:15 pm
russian and the us read ouch on both sides. they. they were very frustrating encounters. and on a russian shot with blah, blah. he was quite frank about me. basically. they died in the war. neoconservatism. ok. the secretary of state, thank you. i mean actually in my control career he has been shoving around from one ost to another, in the back rooms of the american, near conservative stablish min neoconservative, meaning us local empire. and he always changed in the increase of american power and which
5:16 pm
conquest a new land by qu, otherwise, to be in the world's interest in something that ought to be adventure rather than suppression. now i guess in a, in some ways both sides are going to say, we told you so on. maybe washington will say, we're told you. so russia is going to, from the point of view, acts with hostility towards ukraine or russia is going to say we anticipated this reaction, the sanctions. and these sanctions have been at least put in place already block and bought it and blinking rather speaking about sanctions on russian banks, cutting off russia from the financial system, cutting off the key sources of revenue quote here, we're going to cut off russian government from a key when you, why which it raises capital? i guess the question is what impact that will have on russia? does that shuts off entirely? any avenues for diplomacy, but also in terms of blowback for the wes because rushes over the integrated into
5:17 pm
the international economic system. this is going to work both ways, isn't it? i think that's. that's not something i would go along with because if you look at the impact that the sanctions against russia have in having ever since 2012. when there was this cooked up, kish regarding the, your alleged misty age by russia, against the accountant of a, an american billionaire, which after the motion of the the billionaire, referred to him as my lawyer had no law degree, no large branch any event. he had very frail help beginning with and he did receive,
5:18 pm
i read the papers the documents on those matters. and he, he did receive for health care while he was in prison in russia. but it wasn't anything like torture, which is what the american billionaire claims that it was. so consequently, u. s. government slept sanctions against russia and that was the 1st of a mushrooming sequence of sanctions. and they were all based on very flimsy evidence for really dr. lynch and what of course, the worst of all, was the ukraine matter because that was clearly occur which documents to be
5:19 pm
famous. phone call conversation between victoria newland from washington d. c. speaking to jeffrey pyre of the u. s. embassy and care. and she informed him that the reader of the government, after the crew would be yeah, she knew again, or she referred to him. and of course, 2 weeks later, that's what happened. he was selecting an appointment as the me co regimes neater. the thing is that the instructions from washington were to try to exterminate or scare out as many people from the areas that had supported the democratically elected president of government, who obama had overthrown a coverage. as many people, voters should be eliminated there as possible in order to increase the likelihood
5:20 pm
that elections future elections in ukraine. it would be possible to, to, to maintain the co regime, which actually is the case. it was maintained and they, the parliament in ukraine was very, very right wing afterwards because all the, all of the others were, were outlawed or, or, or chased down. sure thing. and it's, it's, it was always an effort by the us post regime in kids to eliminate as many voters as possible, either kill them or caused them to flee to russia mainly, or other countries, or whatever, sorry to interrupt what we already out of time. it has been very interesting speaking to that, right, eric is the way it gives historian, unless we're out of time a thanks so much for your appearance here that i we do appreciate your time. we can
5:21 pm
we'll rushes, recognition with a dumbass republics has been welcomed by people in those regions. he is the reaction from some locals and some of those who fled across the board of the russian. lisa, this is darlene holloway with no. it didn't. you said that it with you, shot it with the english. yes. the sun with singing look like you buy you deal

5:23 pm
recognition follows 8 years of conflicts in the dawn bus. more than 13000 people have been killed there since early 2014, many of them civilians. more than 23000 have been injured and more than a 1000000 displaced for now, several regions in dumbass have been cut off from the water supply due to heavy shelling. our correspondent roman coast, if is near the risk, would be something we are in the village of sy, 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 quite think 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, water supply was cut off to the people here and to nearby towns as well. oh, and all about, well,
5:24 pm
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 of 5 meters away. but 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 cold 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 dumbass over the past few days and times of conflict and violence. it is essential that all sides ensure the continuous supply of a sufficient quantity of drinking water as well as other essential basic supplies
5:25 pm
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 of steel, illness was in the shelling 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 recognized, and now it's happened. so we one of all, the 93000 refugees of fled the numbers to russia. ortiz, donal quarter was in the russian city. of roth on dawn with a group of volunteers helping the new arrivals. over the past several days,
5:26 pm
we've been seeing thousands and thousands of evacuees coming from the don boss region like 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 was there until they can go back home basically, 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 in russia, 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,
