finished yet with sanctions that it's holding back on some that it might be able to use at a later date. so what is the impact of these sanctions? so for in russia, where we know that on thursday, the ruble fell to historic lows against the us dollar. and the russian stock market in moscow had around a 3rd of its value white. dr. already there is the biting all these sanctions in that could see for the ramifications over the next few days. there is also huge anger across many cities in europe against the russian action in ukraine, with protests taking place for a 2nd day. now, not just outside embassies, european capitals, but also on squares some thousands of individuals. on thursday, i came to plastic republic here in paris to protest against that military action. but not everybody is piling the blame on russia for this. here we have heard from some politicians such as british politician nigel barrage and also from our
4:31 am
presidential hopeful candidate, eric some more. that partly the play must be late at the door of the west. so we could have avoided this catastrophe. i have been saying for years that the west has responsibility for the escalation of violence in the east, and i must understand russian to bonds against 9 to expansion. unfortunately, we have done nothing to prevent this escalation. but we have heard from french president mack on that the doors for dialogue remain open. in fact, president macklin and putin spoke late on thursday night that came at the request of ukrainian president zalinski. and the 2 leaders had a frank direct and very short conversation. but there is a suggestion that both said that they will continue to talk in the next few days through our emergency meetings taking place in the you again today need to leaders
4:32 am
and there is also going to be another emergency summit of the g 7. and we could find out if they will be any further action or any further sanctions that are placed on russia as a result of this. okay, we'll be standing by for that and thank you for now. charlotte dimansky, we appreciate the update allotted, posted, going underground. asking were tansy argues that the u. k. sanctions on russia, banks are misguided as they'll end up hurting the wrong people. but as was the big headline figures, v t b, the 2nd biggest bank in russia, full asset freeze in britain, maybe there'll be some going to legal action by v g b, a ban on a raising sovereign debt. i'm not sure whether any of the politicians currently in the house of commons understand that russia has reserves of $630000000000.00 estimated in foreign reserves. the debt markets for russia haven't been then they're not that necessary to the russian economy are all be it that the j. p. morgan funds say in emerging markets,
4:33 am
there emerging bond market 6 percent of it is in russian bonds. the 4 x version is 3 percent. i have no word from j. b, morgan or any of these funds that they want to reduce that amount because of course, the oil prices spiking. so while the rich seem to be doing okay. and while her rusher of course is doing okay, in terms of reserves from the oil, the poor bear the brunt of war, as they always do through history. how she has former farm, as they can, kenesaw says that if the e u sanctions rush and gas, it will have huge consequences for the block itself. there is german officials, including i think even the minister economy have said we are able to substitute russian gas imports. i'm not so sure that this would really be possible because we are speaking of huge why, you know, gas oil and also coal affects in summer. even announcing that
4:34 am
in this final stage of renegotiating the agreement with iran, that iranian gas could substitute russia natural gas. i mean, this will be the irony of history to, to substitute rush and gas natural gas or so the pipelines with better gas from, from iran, given also all the warranty insurgencies that you have with iran, apart from the technical aspect to why you can these williams really be substituted, the immediate impact is already seen on the stock exchange market. it's a tremendous rice hike. and we might even see a situation where the average german households will have to spend maybe 50 percent of the income on utilities. i mean, this is something that has never been happening before. there's always, there's any kind of conflict situation you have to bear in mind the domestic front
4:35 am
. and in that case, high energy prices will put a tremendous pressure on the average german, the average german is the electorate. and it will decrease even furthermore and already very fragile purchase power did. the inflation is only galloping so. so the has to be a balance of strike by the german officials or how to, how to find that balance. so we will, we will see which i bind and has also condemned the russian operation and undeveloped what he called devastating sanctions. kellum open explain. well, when we heard from joe biden, the u. s. president, he laid out new sanctions on russia. these spoke specifically of some banks that will be targeted. he specifically talked of products being outlawed to export to russia. u. s. companies will not be able to export certain products to russia later
4:36 am
in the press conference. he was pressed about the swift international banking system. and he gave kind of a mild answer and said, well, the european allies don't seem to agree and essentially admitted that while the states might want to kick russia out of this web system, it seems united states is not going to be able to do that at this time now the narrative that joe biden laid out throughout his remarks was the same narrative we've been hearing from us officials all along. apparently, this whole crisis, according to joe biden, has just happened simply because of russia. there is no other factor. it is simply russia's malign activities that has caused the whole thing. this is what we heard from joe biden laying out his interpretation of the dance 4 weeks. we've been warning that this would happen, and now it's unfolding largely as we predicted. now, it's important to note that russia has repeatedly raised the issue of its security guarantees. in addition to that,
4:37 am
russia has made clear it has no intent to invade ukraine. however, at this point, they are engaging in an operation to protect the people of don, ask, and luc guns, and make sure they do not continue to face the shelling and bombardment they have been enduring for the past 8 years. it's important to note that unlike what joe biden said, these republics were not declared by the russian president vladimir putin. they were declared by the peoples of these regions in response to the u. s. coup in 2014, and it has been 8 years since then that russia has waited to declare the republics . now, what was also interesting is when pressed by report, a joe biden revealed some rather interesting lack of knowledge when it comes to events. one of the reporters actually asked him, is putin's threatening a nuclear strike? to which biden replied, i don't know what he is threatening, so we have the president of the united states saying that he doesn't know if
4:38 am
nuclear war is on the table. now of course, russia has not threatened a nuclear strike, a nuclear war is simply not on the table rush is engaging and an operation to protect don ask and lu ganske from attack. the idea that this is some kind of nuclear confrontation is pretty outrageous, or the fact that biden responded to such a question with, i don't know, is something that a lot of americans have got to find very concerning legal media. analysts, lionel says us condemnation of russia is hypocritical. when i ask people, why is it that we or other countries can invade or san invading? it was entering. okay, well it wouldn't, it entering? no, he's invading. is it a partial of 8 water? no. is he occupying was a partial occupy, and there's all these, these little dispatcher of the work, and i'm a lawyer and i love to pars word. but when it comes to go grenada, when it comes to the falkland islands or vietnam, or iraq or afghanistan,
4:39 am
we don't need justifying from anybody. we don't have to explain to anybody who matter who cares who's killed, we're right in their wrong. for 5 years we've had nothing but dish drumbeat is rochelle phobic, anti russian move. mine said that basically made people show easily convinced that this must be wrong. and by the way, i'm against war, i think everybody is that's not the issue. i was a one asking, why are we going to iraq? why are we going to have again, is that what did they have to do with 911 shut up? don't euro you're on american, you're not patriotic. or nobody has any questions or nobody. what did have canister have to do, and i'm, and i'm in new york and i was here on 911. i remember it. what did afghanistan have to do with it? doesn't matter. we've been there for a long dish war. isn't it funny? the hypocrisy? isn't it?
4:40 am
funny whether it's the falkland islands that lead the a. a grenada? i mean these little skirmishes and military ashes, whether it's syria, middle east, target assassinations of people. nobody says a word. but now all of a sudden well, we're all pacifist and that's good. but please consistency lottie southgate, hayden now has a round up of how day one of russia's military operation in ukraine wines. let's take a look back. in the early moscow hours of the 24th of february, the dawn passed for public requested military help from russia to quote, prevent, further bloodshed. hours later vladimir putin made this announcement movement is that if you have assigned it to conduct a special military operation, the goal is to protect the people who for 8 years of bullying and genocide from the
4:41 am
key of regime. for this, we aim for the demilitarization and the ness, if a cation of ukraine will bring to the court. those who committed multiple sanguinary crimes against civilians, including russian citizens. we do not plan to occupy ukrainian territories. the reason given while party diplomacy had run dry and nato had crossed red lines, ukraine's president was quick to respond with the message. we're ready for anything . best buy and keep punitive. we are strong, we are ready for everything was who to feed everyone because we are ukraine. he imposed muscle know cut off the tip or matic ties of moscow under clad general mobilization, ukraine's as space shot to civilian flights. blasts were reported in numerous cities. embassies evacuated best off the russian rubel tanked. brent oil hit a 7 year high. then when the need is, woke up and
4:42 am
a wave of condemnation came. these are among the dark cuz our 40 soon as the end of world war 2. this hideous involved worse than show of vladimir putin must end in failure. the russian defense minister said it was a neat precision targeting key of his military infrastructure and not civilians when not on to threat. it then claimed that ukrainian soldiers, while bonding that post on mass or surrendering shouldn't or no one has lucy, like the nationalist members of ukraine in armed forces, swore an oath to the crowning people and were a baying orders for. so we treat them with respect for service members who have put down their arms. we make safe corridors for them to escape the operation and return to their families as they want of moscow special operation. net it's and he has said in quit loc as thousands fled by car. in spite of the government's cools,
4:43 am
the com and i see things unfolded. few remember the time of such confusion and instability, it could have been prevented. it could have been prevented in 2 days. ago a day ago, all that needed to happen was for a ukraine to say, we will not be part of nato and we will comply with minsk and then i believe this would not have happened. but that was never going to happen. the west us suddenly remembered manse can say, hey, we need to do this. well, you know, you had 7 years to do it, and you did. it could have pressured ukrainian government to implement it. you didn't, and now you're paying the price and a waste by with pascal commentate alley risk. now he says it's strange that russia hadn't intervened earlier considering the rise of millicent extremism, including including neo no secrets near is buddha's. let me look at the, what the organization of secure and cooperation in europe, the o. s. c. he,
4:44 am
what it has documented. the maps recently released from that organization, which you can consider to be a pro russian by the way, you know that organization or put maps and it clearly the, nor the positions the are blotches identified that they show that most of the escalation over the past few days has come against the russian side. i hear that the ukrainian side was the one which was a, you know, carrying a going ahead with the largest number of bombings and attacks. so, you know, when you see such neutral parties are making such statements or perhaps presenting such evidence, i think things become clear, but it's interesting what to president put in mentioned when he, when he referred to the notification of that region. personally that got my attention because you're, you know, it's been well documented that there is a strong presence of neo nazis in ukraine, particularly in that eastern region and on bus. and see of him in documentary
4:45 am
groups like the us off battalion, for example, which is part of the ukrainian national guard. it's also been documented that you have a general law neo nazi culture, which is prevailing amongst the ukrainian armed forces. so when you have the presence of nero, narcy is such a strong, neo nazi presence, right next door. or, you know, that in itself is a big threat to national security. so you know what we could say, or i was somewhat surprised that russia didn't take any steps even before this given the fact that this neo nausea for it has increased shaft. i remember the term recently, for example, at the beginning, just a few months ago, we began to see part of the ukrainian president zelinski imposing some new laws which could be described as racist. laws in the eastern regions like imposing ukrainian as a sole language. so even as on thanks, lensky himself was a leading, wore a leaning towards a bright green, near noisy path. what i mean to say is that your grain has, oh,
4:46 am
it is government recently was taking more and more of in the are noisy pass. so i think in light of those developments, such intervention must have been inevitable. i rush as foreign ministry spokeswoman says then moscow has been left with no choice but to defend the civilians being sheldon dunbar since 2014 yesterday with them is that the soul should give the international community has noticed that for 8. yes, there was a war in a dumbass. they have kept saying that it was wrong to kill civilians that they have seen how many people have actually died. they had talked about human rights and how that conflict should be resolved, but they prefer not to notice any of that. they prefer not to note, is the actual people living in these regions. the also did everything in their power to make sure that the media would present this situation from the clues perspective. there is no reason to say that this is and fresh and on the part of
4:47 am
russia. for 8 years we've been trying to suggest different options, and we put forward different proposals to resolve the crisis. but minsk agreement was the russian initiative. and i would like to remind everyone, if you don't want to see the of this ukrainian official started same publicly, they should probably consider that ukraine should get nuclear weapons. and we are talking about a country tone appalled by civil crisis unit. ukraine was being pumped up with weapons from different places. the u. s. britain, europe, the old supply ukraine, was alms. why? but it ukraine wanted peace? why did they gap these many weapons? it was clear that these weapons to be used in an offensive here who were they fight saying they were fighting their own citizens in the saw this part of the country. and it's noted alt weights and for a match to lie to top. no, there is the sea of blood that has appeared over the last 8 years. any one's really
4:48 am
not conceded that and the main aim is to stop the escalation of the war that has been going on for a t s. i. if the west doesn't want to see that they would probably and not a mistake, but you that they have make plenty of throughout history. not all the political analysts, delasandri, bruno say, is russia's operation, was a last resort. i think the decision became inevitable and i think he was pushed into it. they refused to discuss the situation from the russian perspective. so in the end, they gave to the middle choice and they cut off any possibility for a reasonable dialogue. the west could have done too many things to prevent it. starting with, of course, persuading president law to mayor lensky in
4:49 am
ukraine to abide by the men's agreements, which everyone seems to have remembered only after the the recognition of the boss republics as independent. the agreements were made in 20142015. so we've had 7 years to implement them. instead we've had a continuous military operations by militia, some apparently neo nazi militia, the ukranian army. so, and i believe 14000 people have died in that conflict since 2014 alone. so the situation does not come out of the blue. hopefully the best outcome now would be for the deterrence to song, from russia to ukraine. no more attacks into the dumbass or at least that
4:50 am
we can hope for. and then a civilization. i don't think the rhetoric from the west, particularly again from washington that put in, wants to install a puppet regime and key of change the government invade key f. that is not in the cards. and frankly, i don't see, but all the talk russia wanting to become an empire again and expand terry there. i think the last thing that russia needs is more territory. the hacker group anonymous has declared cyber war against the russian governance. anonymous is a hacking group, non politically for it's all the logically motivated cyber attacks. it's brought down a number of russian government sites and is also taken m a r t dot com, which you guys has experienced difficulties as well as a k. a technology analyst said his thoughts on the situation. i was just looking at anonymously record of all of the attacks that they have launched over time. and
4:51 am
they seem quite ecumenical in the sense that they are happy to hack into anyone they identify as those. well it's, it's mostly that they feel like they're defending the week. so they identify, in this case ukraine is the week. and russia is the strong and so they feel like they're coming to the defense of the week. and that seems to be the pattern because they don't follow any obvious political pattern. they don't seem to be working for a particular group or in a particular ideology. other than something like robin hood, you know, they're trying to defend the weak against the, against the strong. and they are the ones who identify who they think is weak and strong and then they act on it and they're rather independent about that. so. so that's it, so that's their normal modus operandi. but i think that the answer is that they
4:52 am
were taken by surprise. well, if he lives check r t for the latest updates, and you'll find our website isn't working for the time being. you can follow on t on telegram. ah ah, i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just knew that everything would be fine. for some reason we were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back. how could he not come back? because the mere thought of it never crossed her mind.
4:53 am
the militants decided to try and break through. i heard you guinea ab screaming grenade, google, who will you next? blow them? blow him. we'll run his bag through a little and it was all over ocean. we know that our comrades and our commander won't leave us. no matter how tough it gets where team they're valuable. if jenny was a senior in his military trio video, he knew that if he didn't smother that grenade with his body more, if his comrades would die, he gave his own life to save his friends. moscow repeatedly warned, it would not tolerate ukraine being used by nato to threaten russia's national security. those warnings were not taken seriously even dismissed out of hand. what
4:54 am
we are witnessing is the cuban missile crisis in reverse, and this could have easily been avoided when you have a pleasant miss teacher, it creates a large school of bachelors. so in other words, in our school of single men, for whom there are no potential mates. and that's the recipe for trouble with
4:55 am
it's been 30 years as the soviet union collapsed. long miss colada. laura chilla the one to walk up on me, yet, mcdaniel talk. so, so shown where you all swore trussel, montoya, them. ukraine was one of the independent states that emerged from the ruins of a superpower. new awesome. when would you also get on google greens? come a little more. i'm sure you're gonna see some of the yet. and less new, are you sure new year, better lung or law or else what as a, as a resource for you, the business is for service, but a teachable for and for the share. oh, it does should with us as sonya, unusual for helpful watch of the past 3 decades been like for ukraine, eye witnesses recall the events. this will be more or less so judiciary wilson a deficiency, a notice. i'm not sure, but it be about 4 months later windows and what other forces were at play, the producer whom you show in shin mushy, in those them new. what obama care,
4:56 am

4:59 am
real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with ah, okay. the russian foreign minister has held the talks with the leaders all be done by republic. says listening to what he has to say on the results of that meeting. as a result of that, no risk of being new now to season has become a nation on the korean regime. and in so throughout the country to the leave tragedy grade miracle gradually and among the mattress or use of the traders genocide with ukraine made at the early stage of their activity as being that was read financial blockade totaled located on bass was and it continued lasted until
5:00 am
the very land, until the very end was pretty to start on the, was up enough because we've got a unit fast lived in a live agreement. if you show a screen in hamilton, we had to bust me. let me take the significant part of this, helping dumbass with humanitarian cargo, more than 100 in the military, and the switch homes resend there. more than 100000 items were delivered there at madison's another medical supplies that are in your food with the skew. sanchez, you look at it 3, which because it's in humane located capital another and as a result of the block of it 3, which because it's inhumane located and kept on up next transcript. and we'll skip on the middle in the western countries. didn't do anything about including those who signed them in agreements. we have taken a number of measures to mention relief to who makes the life of the don this people
