the the breaking news moscow accuses cab of a false flag attack on the chair noble nuclear facility. only a day after presidents button and trump agreed to work toward ending the ukraine and conflict. the munich security conference kicks off with the ukrainian complex set to take center stage amid at broken promises and the major wakeup paul from nato. the bonus tag should make a decision as soon as possible, according to which the war in ukraine and its serious consequences for the security of germany in europe are to be classified as an emergency the trumpet and pay it separate, leaves europe in a panic and its liter scrambling to be included in the negotiations,

the line from the russian capital. i'm rachel ruble. this is r t international. we'd start with breaking news. moscow says cabins attempting to frame russia for a ukrainian drones dragon turn noble. this comes just a day after the russian and american presidents agreed to seek a peace deal on new frame. the international atomic energy agency confirmed a blast at the defunct nuclear side. overnight, the kremlin has called the attack a publication. most of the teachers there is no way that any nuclear infrastructure could have been struck. so any claims that this was the case or not true, the russian military do not do this. we just in this is most likely just another provocation. another fudging this is exactly what the keepers seem sometimes does not shy away from doing. okay. all right,

well joining me now is our take corresponded, romano, customer of whose dive in reporting from the donuts republic aroma. what more can you tell us about this ukranian and drone strikes on that journal? well, and i'm not sure it seems that the key of regina is the so desperate for any type of its session and view of the recent contact between moscow and washington that it's really ready for editing at all. or even the new cleared, sir, that could result in a major catastrophe. not only for russia, ukraine, and other neighboring countries butts off of the nations of the european union, as well in the parents, attempts to disrupt any peace negotiations. lensky seems to be going all in by attacking the cements for golf against solve that, your noble nuclear power plants. and of course, the so called officials of the key of achieve were quick to blame of russia for, of that attack. and by the way, just a day before that attacked on the turn,

noble zaleski spoke to the media as they came in. this can use their power plants and you know, it's really hard to describe, but his words is anything but fear mongering as he promised death in battle to the american soldiers against russia. well, have listened for yourself, or would you keep the list on you any bilateral talks about ukraine, the, i'm not talking about other topics, any bilateral talks about ukraine without us. we will not accept it. as i said yesterday, when we talked with the minister and i told him that, you know, what are your american brigades, which are they nato troops, they are located in europe. and if there is a invasion, it will be fast. so your military will fight for this. i told him that they have to save the lives of the people because there are around, i don't know. there are 100000 americans in europe. they're going to fight and not everyone will survive. now russian foreign ministry you spoke with marie of the car of a is search and that's uh, that's uh called v, defunct,

your noble nuclear power plants was nothing but a publication. it was an ascii behalf. who is it now looking for more money and more weapon sickness? and that's just something it's, there's no doubt that zelinski would not have come to the munich conference empty handed. the key of regina's hands, not only are they covered in blood, they always have to be kept busy with a rattle. for example, they used them to distract the participants of international conferences. the munich security conference were members, many such rattles. it. meanwhile, the head of the international atomic energy agency, russell glossy said that the incident that your noble and the recent increase administer activity around that promotion nuclear power plant, underlined persistence, nuclear safety risk. and that said, there is absolutely no room for complacency, as the atomic energy agency remains in high alerts. now, the increase in the military activity that raphael grossey was talking about

probably refers to the fact that the high a monitors the stations as upper dollars. yeah. nuclear power plants have been trying to road say they're seen since the beginning of february of this year. and so the latest attempt resulted in the disruption of that rotation is ukraine headsets and military convoy carrying international monitors from the agency. now the disruption of the rotation of the experts occurred entirely due to the fact the whole very deliberate actions of the ukrainian side. according to the russian defense ministry, they added that some must go, has fulfilled on vacations to ensure security, and establish a so called regime of minutes restarted into the area of the rotation of the i, a e, a experts. now at the same time have the minutes. and so the key of the she made yet another attempts to attack the nuclear power plants using drones. now one of

them crash just a 300 meters away from the, for, from the 1st power units, the nuclear power plants, the same time, the international atomic energy experts have already returned to the nuclear power plant except for rogia and to continue their monitoring mission. all right, remind customer of in the don't escrow public. meanwhile, the munich security conference is getting underway today. my colleague, my colleague, charlotte davinsky is in munich. um charlotte, tell us what's going on there. so yeah, lot so, so cuz uh from across the world on this annual defense meeting uh, 2025 set to be a bit of a spotlight. we've had a need this little across the world, the coming here. and this comes, of course, in the context of what we've been hearing from donald trump over the last few days about these possible piece towards the end, the war in ukraine. now donald trump had said that russia high level russian

officials had been invited to the mean defense confidence for the start of those discussions and not started a bit of a few re with people a bit concerned about what was going on there. but we have heard from officially, from russia, this is from a marie, is a proud of a who's the foreign ministry spokesperson saying that the russian officials happened to actually been invited to the meek security conference. that was a decision that was made several years ago. she described as being a permit to size a decision. however, she has said for sure, but i, since the stalled ultimately to operate and all the way back in 2020 to say almost exactly 3 years ago. russia has not received an invitation to the event that despite the fact that donald trump, the 47th president of the us, was quite clear, the russian representatives would be here. one of the representatives that is here is pete's haig says, he is of course,

the new secretary of defense for the united states. he's been in a press conference today with the publish minister, and he's been talking of what the situation is and ukraine basically saying people need to be realistic. and we know from what we've been hearing from the company ministration. that these, those territories, that decided during russia overall ski is, would stay as part of russia crying need to, um, and there's a sense that ukraine shouldn't be looking to join nato. let's just, uh, take a listen to, to watch the new us secretary of defense. how to say to my job today and in brussels was to introduce realism to the conversation. the reality that returning to 2014 as borders as part of i negotiated settlement is unlikely. the reality of us troops in ukraine is unlikely. the reality of ukraine membership

in nato as a part of the negotiated settlement unlikely. and i stand by the comments that i made on that 1st day in the ukraine contact group. and that's for all the press out there who it's difficult for them to understand that we stand by the statements we made in reality about the status of us forces, or nato's in or ukraine's involvement in nato. and the unlikely nature of that. that said, i would never put constraints around with the president of the united states would be willing to negotiate with the sovereign leaders of both russia and ukraine will . of course, uh somebody who is not taking this news particularly well, is as a lensky of ukraine. he tuned up here, i mean, it keeps saying that he might be able to persuade the us to continue the support we saw previously ends of the bite and ministration, but always the, the old which is coming out from the white house. now, under the trump administration, are incredibly different as lensky at the press conference looking very disheveled

. now, he had said during that process, press one because i'm prized by protest conference, but you credit is not prepared to tune up to any discussions with russia if we did take place here in munich. he's also said that he doesn't think that the us stick. he has a plan and he says, ukraine will not concede any territory, and he says it will continue to request that membership of nato is not if we are not in nato or until we are in nato. this means that we will have an opportunity to protect ourselves with exactly the kind of army that is capable of doing so. these are appropriate nato weapons and the appropriate number of soldiers summit hours ukrainians. and we are ready to talk about everything from the contingent to security grants from nato. either we are a nato or nato is in us. we are ready for any framework to start putting those automated zaleski does actually have a meeting with the vice president of the us. this is say,

the vault. so we know the last time that they met, they didn't particularly seats i to i, j. d valves has been a massive critic of ukraine's position in this war. so it'll be interesting to see what the full life is from. of that me things we also know ukraine has been asked to give up. it's mineral resources to essentially pay back the united states. so all the money is funded with over the last few years. now there's also being reaction in europe to uh, the over chose coming out from donald trump, j. d von san marco rubio and others. basically you are paying lead is a little bit scad that separately could be that it's the us and russia deciding the feature of the ukraine war. a new roof as well as ukraine is being completely slide line. and i can tell you the not happy hi, tim, this is the we need a reform of the debt break in order to invest in our security and defense. secondly,

the bonus tag should make a decision as soon as possible, according to which the war in ukraine and its serious consequences for the security of germany in europe are to be classified as an emergency. to as many experts are going to say that if the us decides to go in a very different direction, you will have not much of a choice but to follow it. because the reality is, we know who the strong person is in the room in nato, and that's the us. and donald trump, it seems, it is open to welcoming russia back into the fold. also saying that russia should not have been kicked out of the g 8. it really feels within the last few weeks is new administration is common. but we are turning a very new page on a new chapter in this book of this for potentially the multi poto world in days r t corresponding charlotte davinsky in the music. and thanks again to my colleague,

remind customer of global leaders, our meeting for a major security conference in munich. as i said, were the tables are turning on european nato members. you officials have been shocked by the us. presidents pushed to enter the trend, conflicts, and despite brussels efforts to keep that hangs rolling. r t is we're in a cost, right? but how does the story? it's the most important form for secure. it's a policy in the world a conference where no actual decisions are made, but plans and intentions are definitely laid out. it's been well established that it's a good barometer for trans atlantic relations which appear to be on shaky grounds as of late, especially after donald trump. was re elected and started demanding more of his european allies. you know, we have over 300 cars. they take all of us and we take everything tremendous amounts of our

product. but really advise you every work while you're asking me a question, chris, i'm sure you didn't hear. am i going to impose terrace on the european union? do you want the trustful answer or should i give you a little answer? absolutely. the your opinion, industry that is so terribly. i told the european union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the united states by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas. otherwise, it is tariffs, all the way to trump will not be attending the events. it's the us why surprises and secretary of state who will have to face the music of potentially explain why

they're put in america 1st. all of a sudden when for decades, u. s. foreign policy seem to out way domestic issues. it's easy to see while european leaders are upset. trump made a clear that he wants his fellow natal members. so increase their defense spending targets. the us has always covered, most of the alliance is costs, but now it's changing it soon. if you don't pay, we're not going to protect you from said the problem is, is europe's economy. it's not doing that in grades on top of that. they're also facing a trade war with their main ally. as the old trend is expected to increase tires on all steel and aluminum imports into the united states, which doesn't exclude his bodies, that europe administers are electrically shaking in their boots. call it, it's an escalating phrase war trying to do every thing they kansas stop that from happening. the job of the i'm gonna come since i have already mentioned the

american tariffs that are threatening us, possibly on steel and aluminum. if the us leaves us no other choice than the european union will react in the united manner as the largest market in the world with 450000000 citizens, we have the power to do so. the will cease no justification for the imposition of studies on our exports, which is economically conser products, especially given the deeply integrated production chain. so it's probably set through our extensive transatlantic site. i mean, most, many times we stand against on justified barriers to free and fair trade. we remain fully committed to a level playing field. we will always take the necessary steps to protect our economic interest of as well as european businesses workers and consumers from unjustified tariff measures of that sort. all there's also that little issue over

greenland because owning the territory is apparently fired. so for us national security, well obviously that didn't go down well with denmark or the rest of europe for that matter. but there's also another issue, a much bigger issue. your opinions are soft and appalled, has therapy in sidelines and pretty much ignored when it comes to resolving the conflict in ukraine present. donald trump says he is looking forward to negotiating with russian president vladimir putin to end the war and ukraine. potential breakthrough in the war and ukraine after calls with russian president putin and ukrainian presidents, the landscape president trump, now saying peace negotiations will start immediately create that for moscow. what about ukraine? after 9 and then a phone call between president trump and russian president vladimir putin. those 2 leaders agreed to meet and begin negotiations immediately to end the war and ukraine, but apparently, without ukraine's participation. interesting

question. i think they have to make peace that people have been killed and i think they have to make peace. i showed that was not a good way to go into, and i think they have to make peace. that's what i take all the russian and us leaders appear committed an owner, a way to put an end to the conflict in ukraine. there is your pin council parts are upset, they were consulted. foreign ministers even held a meeting in paris. so highlight that their opinion matters and should be taken into account. there will be no just and blasting piece in ukraine without the europeans in paris. i'm following codger colors. jose manuel out virus writers loud sikorsky, angelina barrow bach. david lemmy andrews qu bilious maria tree party, and andre simba. tonight to talk about european security and our support for ukraine. there will be no just and lasting peace and ukraine,

without the participation of europeans. peace can only be achieved in the long term if we act together as a nato partner with our american friends, ukraine's independence and territorial integrity. unconditional priority must now be strengthening ukraine and providing robust security guarantees. in any negotiation, you must have a central role. so what if they had 2 years to figure it out, both have been unable to let the blood should continue. those weren't their words, of course, but those are the rep precautions and they know it. we are ready to enhance our support for ukraine, which means that they are ready to send more money and more weapons. so what if they don't have enough for nato or their own countries? but as long as they have enough for you pray and our share, the objectives should be support ukraine and the position of strength. that's

impossible. and they know it's ukraine is losing the war and there's no reversing that. this declaration is a sad testament of bad persetti and leadership, while president donald trump and president putin negotiate on peace. you officials, issue worthless statements, yukon to request a seat at the negotiating table. you have to run it through strength, good leadership and smart diplomacy. the possession of brussels to support killing, as long as it takes is morally and politically unacceptable. europe has squandered its central role by damaging its economy through rejecting cheap russian energy supplies and limiting its political cloud to mirroring what us is doing. now your role is to stand in the corner and watch, but you have continues grasping at straws, trying to make a potential peace deal. looks like a that's ones with their media using the same rhetoric and the same language as always the

well, that's your language. not mine, certainly not a betrayal. but as i said to our allies yesterday, we recognize the incredible commitment that has been made over many years. and no country, as a president, trump has pointed out, has made a larger commitment to the ukrainian mission than the united states of america, north of $300000000000.00. so the united states has invested in stabilizing those front lines after the aggression of russia, there is no betrayal there. there is a recognition that the whole world in the united states is invested in interested in peace, a negotiated piece, ridiculous questions like raised or the reason he decided to skip the munich, secure it's a conference even though he is in the europe this week. but there are enough high level officials from the us going who will no doubt have

a lot of questions to answer. the problem is, history has shown that all these world leaders don't really pay a lot of attention to what is being said at this conference. bladder, where it puts in the use the very same platform for years, warning the west, not so expand nato eastward from as early as 2007, and what became known as his munich speech that says, let's go to shooting. it may thought expansion does not have any relation with the more than i zation of the alliance itself. or with ensuring security and you're on the contrary, it represents a serious provocation that reduces the level of mutual trust. and we have the right to ask against whom is this expansion intended? and what happened to the assurances are western partners made after the dissolution of the warsaw pact? where are those declarations today? no one even remembers them. but i will allow myself to remind the sorry and what was said. i would like to quote the speech of nato general secretary,

mister werner in brussels on 17th may 1990. he said at the time that the fact that we are ready not to place a needle army outside of german territory gives the soviet union a firm security guarantee. where are these guarantees to get into? it was very clear about the interest and repercussions of such a move. but does anyone listen? no. in fact, right before the special military operation began, lensky use the conference. so deliver the final blow. yeah, your present. i have instructed the foreign ministry to convince somebody to budapest memorandums taking a treat countryside. if it fails to take place or refuses to provide security guarantees to ukraine, good idea of what we're going to attend. the closest signed in 1994 is no invoice. well, when they did, it was a lot of skill was clueless, the was certainly was as after so many years of warnings and requests not to

escalate the tensions along the russian border. but they did unless it and now when were seemingly approaching the end of this, not this, europe has a problem with it. and also what the us, perhaps the tide is indeed turning as a make it a break of situation boils in the west looks like it's going to be one interesting conference. but now, $211.00 on where authorities have denied and a rainy and plain from landing at bay rude airport. amid the shaky cease fire protesters waving has the flags have blocked an access road to the airport? in response ortiz, steve sweeney brings us the details. pensions of fled if i was international, apple all suffice as class with members of the lebanese secuity for these hundreds, it descended that off the postage circulated online, showed liberty civilians stranded on the runway around international airport. this was also the deputies governments have refused to allow it to land rough

a country international airport. and is, i'll have to pay it to a residence to play, signed the, it contains it right in the, in cash. now the protest is set fires and they were confronted by this security policy is 25 shots since the take us to liberty's government. eventually charles to define for middle east deadlines to return those. it was stranded in iran and bring them back to level to now, many of those civilians have been around for religious holidays. some were even believe to be coming from iran at to lebanon, for the funeral of the slain has the secretary general house on us of all that now has lot did issue a statement to the protest is quoting for them to carry out their protests peacefully. now, this again is seen as a nother intervention from the united states is believe that it is pressure from washington that that the government to refuse to allow the place to land in by

reason of course, this comes just a week off to the us and boy or deputy invoice for the middle east, morgan ols. it goes from outrage off the comment. she made it the president to probably, as in bob, the, when she phrased as well for defeating has law on cool for the organization to be excluded from the government. now this becomes a very volatile time in lever done. the extension of the seas father to date is a drawing day of on february. the 18 on israel has a power seat also does not deadline to be extended. that has been categorically ruled out by the liberties government deadline. president joseph own of again as well, has escalated tension soon. all the, you know, lives that the c so i wouldn't be agreed to. the extension of that say saw is well, 5 flu foreign to just very little over the liberties come into play. root breaking the sound, bob. yeah. causing these sony who's, which is very see as a direct threat to the lebanese government,

to pressure them into accepting those is really devolved to keep troops here in the south of the country. now this also comes, that's a time where we're preparing for the funeral of the secretary general, pass on. that's rather so tensions, again, related carpeting all the time of the a huge number of delegates do to attend the funeral from around. a lady, 80 countries across the world. so this is the, again, is a threat to the liberties government who kind of you called and to come to the lebanese government. well, he's being urge to take sovereignty over the apple and not allow outside is to dictate those terms to them. not as well for its part seems to be escalating at tensions that were 3 strikes last night on thursday nights just on the board of the of the the tony river in the novel to the region. we don't know

of any casualties at this stage, but as that's for the extension of the sci fi draws near a move in order to get yourself what you sent to return to the country. on sunday, the 16th of february and the ghost jason's around any potential extension all due to take place. but the situation for now he is, remains incredibly volatile, and whether it is uh will be fine. the fed by 70, the 18, relates very much to be seen up next to can watch the latest episode of cross talk and do stay with us here on our to international for all the latest breaking news and updates throughout the day right here or on our website ortiz. com bye for now . the all americans. today, our armed forces joined our nato allies in air strikes against the serbian forces

the forgot village spread through us with them. and we, we stopped before. we conclude this regarding a flam face east of the nation, which is reinforced with the depleted uranium that has a special capacity to penetrate from nuclear safety point of view. there is no radiological, or even, and not even significant consequences. the, the symmetry seems endless. a real city of the dead, where it's very easy to get lost. similar graveyards now exist in iraq and afghanistan. they may soon appear in ukraine with thousands of square kilometers of already being contaminated with deadly dust. for the next 4 and a half 1000000000 years, the

hello and welcome to cross stop. were all things are considered and peter level, donald trump risk repeating joe biden's disasters and gaza allowing genocide he returned to office claiming to be a peacemaker trumps of words and actions. about gods that demonstrate the opposite . what donald trump does now will define his presidency and legacy, the cross talking guys, i'm joined by my guess, mom in mirandi, until then. he's a professor at the university of thrown in rome. we have romantic rebel, she is an author and.
