12:09 am
the ukrainian side, on surprisingly, took some time to consideration and to consult with the anywhere were expecting the 2nd round of talk to start later today, according to letter myrmidon, sky, the craniums want to rest out before the meeting, as there are too tired. after the trip from ukraine, he didn't wonder negotiators to take a shorter route to bel reverse, despite the russian military offering a safe passage. instead, they made a detour through polish territory. the russian delegation set. it's fine and they can wade but some senior russian officials, including the russian, afford minutes or de la express their concerns over what they believe is an attempt by the cranium side who deliberately postponed the negotiations. the 1st round of talks ended a few days ago without a breakthrough, although both sides agreed to meet again. after consultations with their leadership publicly, neither side has changed. it stands gave, wanted immediate cease fire. and the completed withdrawal of russian troops,
12:10 am
including from don bass region and crime. moscow wants to crane to assume a neutral status without a lying with the western powers, as well as are recognized try me as russian territory and going it's going lugens can as independent republics. alright, constantino's cover for us, the following events there. we know that as a developed, you'll bring it to us, preciate that are now earlier russian foreign ministers live. i've told b al jazeera news network, how russia got into the current crisis. we've seen it was similar but the, the, the g is we've been trying to appeal to the conscience of the west and try to bring reason to this regime which are taking on ultra radical and neo nazi outlines. and the west did not want to do anything because ukraine was used as a tool to deter russia even before 2014. i'm amazed to listen to the comments of european and especially german politicians when they declare that they are obliged to supply weapons to ukraine. what's that supposed to me understanding historical
12:11 am
guilt makes germany support neo nazis. it causes strange associations, and those live on the land said that europe has never been so close to ukraine. this is probably a signal that as long as you are russ phobe, as long as you are a fascist, as long as you are a neo nazi, everything is allowed to you recall least a closely similar reactions what russia is doing in ukraine, restoring justice when hundreds of thousands of iraqis libyan syrians, residents of other countries were killed, where the united states and its allies from the democratic camp directed their eyes thousands of kilometers from their borders. it was enough for the united states. this threatened the national security and look at the history that has risen regarding threats to national security right on our board. i do not rule out the someone wanted russia to get my head in the men made conflict created by the west. we are able to resist any pressure if anyone helped out and i recommend reading russian history or for losses are mounting on both sides as the war and ukraine
12:12 am
enters. it's a day with civilian deaths reported amid the fighting. but i got, you have spoke with a russian convoy in south eastern ukrainian city of melody. total ukraine is a battlefield. and today we had front row seats. ah, we joined a russian military convoy making its way across ukraine to the city of mulatto. and for hours on end, we watched convoy after convoy roar passed us. ah, helicopters circled back and forth, protecting convoys from ambushes and providing cover. the frenzy of activity is sobering, that really drives home, that this is a vicious fight and losses on both sides. a high correlation,
12:13 am
so you're not strict, unfortunately there are casualties among our comrades taking part in the special military operation. $498.00 russian military personnel were killed during their military duty. their families are being provided with all possible assistance. 1597 of our comrades were injured. eventually we reached the city of mallet opal, where we were told that we were targets. russian press prime targets for ukranian nationalists believed to be hiding in mellow tubal and surrounding areas. some armed others have drawn or painted the letter dead on their guards also in the fashion of russian troops here in ukraine. as i said, the situation in the cdsi said that because we were unable to enter, but we haven't heard any shooting in the vicinity of the city or on our way here.
12:14 am
the problem in the city now is, is the humanitarian situation. their supplies are said to be running low, our convoys and logistics are down because of the situation, the current situation in ukraine. so it is, we have heard the priority to deliver humanitarian aid to the city. we've also heard that the glue calls have are organized patrols, they're afraid of, of loses. there's been a lot of that apparently in the city. and lucas of war, good eyes patrolled. 5 man grew patrolling the city at nice during the day to keep looters away. but again, as we, as we moved to the outskirts we saw many windows broken and people had obviously boarded up shops. 8 years ago, ukraine was split equally, roughly half were pro russian and half lean towards europe. since the civil war
12:15 am
began and he pro russian sentiment, has been brutally suppressed, beatings, attacks and killings by nationalists, arrests and intimidation by security services. the question now is, what next guten has promised to de not so far ukraine to free its people, he said. but how and how long it'll take you steal unclear. meanwhile, russian forces operating as 400 anti aircraft missiles systems have begun a large scale training exercise in siberia. the exercise has seen around $600.00 military service members practice detecting and destroying enemy aircraft. they also prepared their firing positions, camouflaged their weaponry and organized defences.
12:16 am
alright, meanwhile the e u has been preparing a 4th set of sanctions against moscow over the ukraine crisis, as announced by austria's foreign minister that says some european leaders, including french president and menu micron. have admitted the already imposed restrictions on russia would inevitably backfire on the block from on this cross 5 to charlotte, davinsky and paris. charlotte, what exactly did micron say and what impact is europe preparing for mid it's increased sanctions against russia? well, president macaroni of france wound the very difficult days ahead and he said the whole of europe would be impacted now in that address, which was made on wednesday evening. here in france, he put the blame for the war in ukraine. so lee on president putin of russia, and she said the pretext that president putin had that line for that war was false
12:17 am
. now he saluted what he said was the ukrainians, who were fighting for their country. and he said that there would be a plan developed to try and mitigate the impact of the sanctions he in europe. he said that they would be and not call effect, that would include price rises for every day products such as buying fuel or even foods that have a listen to what else present. i can have to say. norwood sector, many economic sectors are suffering and will suffer either because they depend on imports of raw materials from russia and ukraine, or because they export to these countries. our growth, which is currently at its peak, will inevitably be affected. the increase in the price of oil gas and raw materials has and will have an impact on our purchasing powers. i have asked the prime minister to drop and economic and social resilience plan in the coming days to address all these difficulties. this all present back on also talked about the
12:18 am
situation for those ukrainians who have fled their country and fled the ward. he said that france would do its part to ensure that they are welcome tier to this country. and just to give you a sense that the u. n. has estimated that in the last week alone, some 1000000 individuals have fled the country. it's describing it as an exodus, but it's also called for the guns to stop. so that humanitarian assistance can get in to millions of other people on the ground. and now we are also hearing from you companies across the block that are offering free flights, free trains to those ukrainians who managed to leave their country at to be able to get to other destinations in europe. there really is a very big effort on board to assist them. now other e, you politicians have also been warning about the impact of the sanctions saying that the price now may feel high. but essentially, if they waited,
12:19 am
then the price would be much higher in the future. we have also heard about how those st sanctions are already impacting companies here in the u, including on airlines bypassing the russian air space lengthened flight times to asia considerably. and thus, the operation of most of our passenger and cargo flights to asia is not economically sustainable or competitive. now, there's also, of course, been repercussions for those russian individuals who are named on the sanctions left, including for only elk roman abramoff, which in the u. k. who is now selling chelsea football club and also reportedly trying to offload a number of his multi 1000000 pound properties in the u. k. also news coming out from germany. the super yet of billionaire they sees asha as mills, has also been, sees that you all said to be worth more than around 600000000 euros.
12:20 am
there's also though, been a cultural backlash just to give you a sense. one university in milan apparently had tried to stop a literature course on the russian rights to stay f ski. they said that this was because amid the controversy and amid the tensions that they thought that this would be problematic internally. however, there's been a huge backlash against that, including from the former italian prime minister, mateo renzi, who described a decision it as insane. and as a result of that, the university now has relented and put dot scott ascii back on the menu. all right, are the pinsky keeping track of things there for us. appreciate that. now, switching gears, joe biden has focus his 1st state of the union speech on the ukraine. conflicts surprising critics who have noted the mounting domestic problems in the u. s. he
12:21 am
said, washington has joined the you, enclosing its aerospace to russian flights, but specified that american forces won't participate in the conflict with russia or inflicting pain on russia and supporting the people of ukraine. truant is now isolated from world more than he has ever been announcing that we will join our allies in closing off american aerospace to all russian flesh. her i say, adding additional spruce on her. but let me be clear. our forces you are not engaged and will not engage in conflict with russian forces in ukraine. our forces not going to europe to fight ukraine, but to defend our nato allies. the advantage decides to keep moving west joe biden also voiced support for the people of ukraine and said, put in miscalculated the ongoing situation there. but biden seemed confused during his speech mistaking ukrainians for iranians. with more than that story and
12:22 am
commentary, here's our chief killer month. joe biden. state of the union address was given last night where he addressed a joint session of congress. and in that state of the union address, he began by focusing almost exclusively on russia, demonizing. russia's situation in russia's role and intervention and ukraine pretending that nothing was done to provoke this is if this just happened out of the blue. there was an even an embarrassing moment where he said that he said that the iranian people will never surrender to you basically, he slipped. and instead of saying ukrainian, he said iranian putting a circle cave with tanks. but i'll never gain the hearts and souls of the iranian people. however, at the same time, you know, many are looking on at the world situation and quite concerned about the rhetoric. people are looking at the possibility that these sanctions that are being put on russia that we just heard about from anthony blank in the us,
12:23 am
secretary of say they could have a global impact. for example, russia is one of the main exporters of fertilizer. and if russian fertilizer is not able to get to farms around the world in places like brazil and african countries and in europe, the results could be a shortage of food. we already have supply chain issues. and the price of food in the united states has drastically increased over the past several months. and if russia is, fertilizer is not allowed to be exported. the results for the world in terms of malnutrition, in terms of crop shortages, could be massive. this is not being highlighted in american media, but serious economists are looking into it. it's also worth noting that in addition to that, in the united states, there is a big concern about the rising price of gas and the rising price of gasoline. i am heating gas for winter time, and those prices are only going to increase and joe biden to talk about strategic
12:24 am
reserves. but that hasn't really addressed the issue joe biden basically use the wage and i in ukraine to distract from his own very low poll numbers. joe biden is quite an unpopular president. he has not been doing very well. the us economy has really been suffering under jo biden's president, the promise to fix up all the mistakes and all the problems that went on under the trumpet ministration with the pandemic. and he's gotten in and the economy has gotten worse, the country is more polarized and more divided than it was before. so here in the united states, we have a lot of, you know, chest pounding and high podium, pounding and hostile rhetoric against russia. they are mobilized in the public to hate russia, but it's not addressing the problems below the surface. we spoke with an international affairs expert who thinks that the current actions of the west only for the escalade, the conflict. well, it's not rocket science. if you want to have a european war, nato, russia possibly going wider than lots and lots of will planes in from nato
12:25 am
countries. i mean, it's most stupid idea. i've heard of many stupid ideas that are interesting to over the last 2 days, i days are no fly zones. what people who really should know much better people who seem to want is to escalate that it's a very, very dangerous time. we live and when idiots are running the media and running and are in politics, then we have even more danger. military deliveries are designed to kill people, to encourage people to kill each other, rather than to talk to each other which would be, which i've always suggest it would be the best way to go. the respect, friends, national law is not something that can be offered to western countries because western countries have never actually, since you know, the cold war respected international law. i warmed in 999. when you launched the 1st 2 illegal was the 2nd one big a iraq 4 years later. but if black got away with it on the west to is national law would be in the dustin and this is. so it's
12:26 am
a hell western countries talking about sovereign see and territorial integrity and the you and child to consume paragraph for is revolting hypocrisy. and therefore, because they have been violating every one of those elements ever since the end of the cold war. meanwhile, the international paralympic committee says russian and bella, russian, the athletes will now take part in the beijing winter olympics under a neutral status. the committee says it's because of their country's roles in the war against ukraine. several countries had earlier demanded that russian pair limpy, and be thrown out of the games altogether. now the effect of western sanctions has also spread to space with rushes ross cosmos warning that it can no longer carry out all of its international obligations due to the restrictions the space agencies had claimed ukrainian efforts to hack its systems have been incredibly dangerous for the entire local community calling for those attacks to be classified as war
12:27 am
crimes. last, just my guess pressure many are asking us know about how much the attack, what ukrainian hackers has affected the roof cause most flight control systems. and over the group, i want to say this is fake. there were indeed such attempts to break into the flight control systems, but our security system automatically repelled them. and secondly, i want to warn those who continue to do this, that this is a crime that should be severely punished. the removal of a space group of any country from duty is an act of war. such an act can lead to disorientation of space apparatus and they can fall to the grounds. i think this is a crime against humanity. we will search for those who organize these attacks and we will pass all the relevant information to lower enforcement agencies to initiate criminal cases. what was that just fancy sanctions against the russian space program? we introduced a long time ago back in 2014. they existed before as well. the plan was to completely reset capable latino for creating spacecraft. but we switched from input
12:28 am
to domestic supplies. and after losing a couple of years, which of course was painful, we were able to build our own devices and will continue to make them. now the europeans have repeated these sanctions. it is quite obvious that their intention is to bring down the russian rocket and industry. we consider this a war declared against stuff. therefore we will have to respond just as harshly because corporation in space does not allow such actions. in fact, sanctions against rough cost most will not stop for the customer. it is difficult to stop us. we have many other customers who do not have bay american sanctions. we will now corporate with them absolutely openly. but the western coalition is just uncontrollably smashing international scientific projects. and yes, you do, americans are pragmatic people. they want to maintain corporation with russia within the international space station, despite the numerous sanction. why? because it is impossible to manage the space station without us. we're responsible
12:29 am
for is navigation and fuel delivery and not talking about the interdependence of all control systems. therefore, we will closely monitor the actions of our american partners, and if they continue to be hostile will return to the question of the existence of the international space station. i would not like such a scenario because i expect that the americans will cool down you more so when you, when you. meanwhile, it is reported, romania has lost 2 military aircraft in one day near ukraine's border with a fighter jet reportedly going off the grid on wednesday evening. while 2 hours later, a rescue helicopter also crashed in bad weather, leaving 5 people dead. no explanation has been given for either incident. i that does it from a stick round and about 30 minutes, i'll be back with another look at the situation in ukraine. this is arch nationally with us. ah
12:30 am
ah. ah. it's 7 o'clock in the morning inside of his bedroom is the safest place a mouse because it has no windows.
