on the contrary, a russian troops are still on the ukraine's border. russia has sent additional units to viola roof, and russia is continuing with is very aggressive rhetoric. we know that the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking has been on this whirlwind diplomatic tor to gather support from allies. is there a united front towards russia today? while the u, as has been consulting allies very intensively on an almost daily basis, and they all say that they are united, that there will be mass massive, severe consequences if russia uses force against ukraine. however, they are, there are justified doubt whether they are really on one page. and of course, many officials here in europe. we're not very happy with you as president biden saying that there will be a minor incursion into ukraine allies might be arguing a which steps are to be taking. they thought the officials in europe thought that those remarks were not very helpful. but the truth is that there is some divisions among allies, about how far they would go, how much pain they would be willing to inflict on russia. indeed,

states a taste of the same bitter medicine russia had to swallow in the 1990's. he believes the united states is in the same predicament as russia was after the soviet collapse. he also thinks nato is nothing more than an extension of the united states. russian officials and commentators routinely deny any agency or independent strategic thought to other nato members. when it comes to the alliance, all moscow's moves are directed against washington. calls, let's hear from brian on the independent line. caller: good morning. i feel this is ultimately going to backfire against biden in a bad way. it is carrying the order. for reasons unknown to most people, the common sense for most americans is why are we potentially going to deploy these groups as ukraine and so on but at the same time ignoring our own problems here at home. if it goes that way, we hope not, we do not want lives to be lost. host: carl is next on the democrats line. go ahead. caller: we as americans should support nato. if it wasn't for people like putin, he is nothing but a dictator and really a bully. if you let him g

russia. this is an impression that the united states certainly wants to avoid. right. and so how then is it in russia's benefit to go back to this normandy or format, effectively sharing power if you like, with all these people rather than just carving it up with the united states. the question would be for moscow at the moment is whether it has whether it will take the decision to puts you the military path or whether it will still try to continue a diploma path and an incentive for the diplomatic path. certainly the sanctions that have been on by the us in europe. so this double strategy of sanctioned and dialogue is co approach to bring russia bag both to discussions in the u. p form. but also to way to control discussions with the united states and with nato. and for that purpose you knew united stand on sanctions is particularly important. and so how do you rate germany spell position that because it has to balance its commercial interest and dependence on russia. full energy imports against warning, even threatening russia for its perceived bad behavior. but the h

but ultimately, what the russian say is, russia's concern russia's concern is that the united states is blaming it for moving troops inside russia. russia is concerned that the united states is also moving troops towards russia. this isn't, this isn't an issue of where russia is coming out and saying, oh, we don't like that the united states as station so many troops and in her texas, for example, on the border with mexico, the united states coming out and saying that it's concerned with russian troop movements inside russia. there are passages full of inhuman force, his hand stupidity, for example. they call fake mosque a statement that the re positioning of russian trips in russian territory means repositioning of russian troops on russian territory. brilliant. what is there more hair lies or illiteracy? i did not even want to deal with it. i know one thing for sure. this could only be published by the ministry of truth. the document is full of obfuscation and misleading statements. for example, it says that this is fiction that the nato isn't surrounding russia as, as moscow has cl

are put united states on notice that, you know, the united states must come up with an agreement, a verifiable agreement that shows respect for russia's national security interests and in the region in ukraine and throughout europe. the united states. i don't believe at this point time is prepared to do that. and if this discussion is left purely on the merits of that, it's not going to bode well for united states. so i think the stage is looking for every opportunity to divert attention away from its own weak position going. and i think because then in the instability there is something that the united states in you to exploit for its own benefit. how many? thanks for calling us today. scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer. thank you. ok. ok. let's move on to more world news. 21 minutes into the program. the british prime minister is once again having to fend off corruption allegations after emerge . he withheld revealing text messages from a watchdog probing sleaze in the bras. johnson asked a party donor for more money for luxury refurbishments to his slot and seems to suggest he'll do political favors in retu

united states. in the u. k. the, there was concern, calls for de escalation, etc. now, when russia spoke, they met these accusations from the united states with some pretty clear opposition . we heard the russian representative say that they have no intention of the invading ukraine, that no threat of invading ukraine has ever been leveled. furthermore, they argued that the united states is putting ukraine in danger that these allegations from the united states have already taken an economic toll on ukraine, that there are voices in ukraine calling for a de escalation and arguing that these actions by the united states are not benefiting ukraine and consistently the russian representative called for recognition of the minced agreement and talked about how the united states seems to be ignoring this very, very important agreement that was made with the intention of de, escalating the situation in the country. now, later we heard from the russian representative as he was leaving the un security council, he made very, very clear that the goal of russia is to have the situation de esca

united. we know that germany has significant connections to russia and the germany, like the united states, seeks a stable, predictable relationship with russia. that's in all of our interests. finally, in our meeting earlier today with the, the quad with germany, the u. k. france and the united states and as well you, i represented joseph or l. we focused, as elena said, on the, on going talks with iran, about a mutual return to full indentation of the j. c. p. away the running for your deal . and we are indeed, at a decisive moment. we can bring these talks to a successful conclusion and address the core concerns of all sides. but time is running out. if a deal is not reached in the coming weeks or ons, ongoing nuclear basses which resumed after we withdrew from the agreement, will make it impossible for us to return to the j. c. feel way. so we discussed in detail how we can reach an understanding in vienna and what we'll do if around rejects a mutual return to compliance and full implementation. it was a very productive discussion. and so we faced a number of series and pressing charges, and

policy chief within lynn for full way talks with representatives of germany, france, and the united kingdom. russia is entitled to protect itself. the united states in europe are prepared to discuss russia, security concerns and how we can address them in a reciprocal way. while the secretary of state looked to protect one voice from the 4 nations that had taken part in the talks, as he gave those remarks alongside the german foreign minister, the french president, money will micron, told the european parliament earlier in the week that europe needs to come to its own arrangements with russia, parallel to those of nato and the united states. it's good that europeans and the united states are coordinating, but it's necessary for europeans to conduct their own dialogue. we should build as europeans, working with other europeans and nato. and then propose it for negotiation with russia before the trip to berlin, lincoln was in kiev with a message of peace and the promise of more weapons for ukraine. we continued to bolster ukraine's ability to defend itself and make clear the costs of the united state

other question is, russia has already survived post- 2014 that were imposed by europe and the united states during the annexation. russia has figured out ways by which to cope and to survive. and so the question is, how devastatingin these sanctions are? experts like to think they willhi be decisive. but over the past few years we have seen russia can survive sanctions and still have a secure economy. especially so much of it is related to oil and gas. >> let me get your response rates in the wall street journal is the crisis the rebirth of the soviet union? >> well potentially if russia gets its way and basically if the new president is dependent on russia for stability and order, then there will be an effort i think from a russia to have a greater role in the domestic affairs. as a member of the economic union and has significant economic times to russia. and has also asserted its independence and many times in terms of greater integration with the russian federation. for example when the economic union was founded russia wanted to create a unified currency . because exxon was the c

states and are therefore russia promised murky polarity. and the united states east jeter willing to impose of its view and her or so it's a way to to prevent europeans to where they are food sovereignty and to negotiate or a know or agreement. we've russia, we've, i do united states. so you cannot terror merchandise to our negotiations on you, treaties unless there is an agreement between great powers on the new job particular configuration. and her so far, united states doesn't accept murky polarity in reality, murky poor are we, t o is more, more a fact that the united states is still owned willi and they will have to see what's tomorrow's negotiations between russian and us officials just last to luckily just in time for another interview that was paramount of all tom on the confident group that with us you are naughty. ah, while political tension is over ukraine show no sign of letting up for all t analyzes how the situation could develop from him. you can find that one and the more on a web will, despite the appalling ongoing consequences of the us

expressed again to minister lever off that on the security concerns that russia is raised in recent weeks. the united states and our european allies and partners are prepared to pursue a possible means of addressing them in a spirit of reciprocity. which means simply put, russia must also address our concerns. there are several steps that we can take. all of us russia included, to increase transparency, to reduce risks, to advance obs control, to build trust. can they directly to minister leverage our specific concerns for russia's actions? the challenge are under my peace and security, not only in ukraine, but throughout europe, and indeed in the world. i also laid out several ideas to reduce tensions and increased security, which we've developed in consultation with our partners and allies and where we believe we can find common ground. again, based on the principle of reciprocity. this was not negotiation, but a candidate exchange of concerns. and ideas i made clear to minister lever off that there are certain issues and fundamental principles that the united states and our partners and allies are

united states. they cannot b o, a niecy arrangement to be russia because if russia, oh will not be considered as an adversary of natal. they will be no joke. no objective for nato and venus. united states will lose its super rossi in europe and the object if she is to fragment europe on to torpedo any reset between western europeans on russia, and in order to prevent mercy, pull our richie to emerge. pierre, and i know it's a man geopolitical expert. thank you very much for joining us on the program. we appreciate it now, just hours before the nato chief spoke, russia's foreign minister spelled out clearly that the country does not want war, sir, gala ralph reiterated moscow's position on escalating tensions with the west. however, he also noted moscow. com to stand by watching its interests being ignored. love rob shared his thoughts during a 90 minute interview to rush and journalists among them was our teeth editor in chief, margarita sim onion, his aunt, mister latter. i've had to say, yes, this is alicia authorities configured c. lately. if it depends on the russian federation, then there will

now the united russia party, which is in power in russia, says it will ask for military supplies to beed to both of those regions. views with the help of two colleagues, barbar in washington and our correspondent from bby russia. >> they're basically baiting to hear back from the kremlin about what the official response to their paper. is they probably will have been heartened byhe fact that mr. putin's top officials have left the door open to diplomacy but like them, i think they feel that he is is the one who makes the decision so they're waiting to hear what that will be. >> olga, any indications of the official, phenomenon messa the americans want to give back to the russians? >> the fact the attorney general mentioned there is the space for depolicemen sim is hopeful. russia is working on two fronts and for their all of a sudden at home, they need to show they're at home and that they're bringing americans to the account or they still need to leave the door open or at least they want the to leave the door open for the other side. russian offials interestingly mentioned that the am

and russia decides to pursue aggression against ukraine to a united, swift and severe response patrol of takes a closer look. now the international context of this meeting in geneva. the search for a diplomatic solution to the ongoing tensions between russia and nato, comes back to the shores of lake geneva and a heads of his meeting with russian foreign minister, sir. gala rove the us secretary of state anthony blinking has been putting america's message to its partners directly before coming to switzerland. the u. s. foreign policy chief within lynn for full way talks with representatives of germany, france, and the united kingdom. russia is entitled to protect itself. the united states in europe are prepared to discuss russia, security concerns, and how we can address them in a reciprocal way. while the secretary of state looked to protect one voice from the 4 nations that had taken part in the talks, as he gave those remarks alongside the german 4 minister, the french president emanuel macaroni told the european parliament earlier in the week that europe needs to come to its own a

well, it doesn't mean that you frame used to be physically in the room every time united states and russia talks about your crime. i think united states has to give up that pretence the united states is going to consult very closely with ukraine is going to consult very closely with our nato allies. in fact, we saw that this week, secretary of state and lincoln began, is european tour with a meeting and you praying with president lensky, his counterparts. foreign minister then went to prison to meet with ki nato allies before proceeding to geneva, or talk with a lot that i think is the appropriate way to conduct the set of negotiations. the united states is taking the lead on behalf of both nato and you and our ukrainian partners, thomas graham with the council on foreign relations. mr. graham, we appreciate your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. well, i want to take the story now to andre court, and he's director of the russian international affairs council. it's good to see you again, mr. corded off. let me ask you, what do you see when you see what happened in geneva today? is thi

he said the never has promised that nato wouldn't expand, even though russia has provided many documented instances of united states making such a promise that has been broken. now we have a situation further, where at this point, at this point, ukrainian authorities and others are raising allegations about the fact that russia's troops are in russia. russia, moving its own troops around within its borders, is not a threat to ukraine, but the united states continues to play up. this idea that somehow russia is a threat to ukraine. and of course, we have this allegation that somehow russia that somehow united states never, never promised not to move nato eastward. here is what antony blank and said. there was no promise that nato wouldn't expand. nato never promised not to admit new members. it could not and would not. the open door policy was a core provision of the 949 north atlantic treaty that founded nato. russia has provided many examples of nato, promising not to expand the james baker. u. s. secretary of state said nato would not move an inch east. we also had statements from german foreign ministers

. >>> we begin this hour with the united states and russia facing off at the united nations. the u.n. security council is holding an emergency meeting on the crisis in ukraine. the u.s. requested the meeting in hopes of forcing russia to publicly explain why it is amassing tens of thousands of troops on the ukrainian border. u.s. ambassador laying out her case declaring moscow's recent actions poses a clear threat to international peace and security. while those talks play out in new york, the white house continues to look for ways to punish moscow if it does further invade ukraine, identifying several elite russian government officials and business leaders to hit with sanctions. and cnn is also learned that senior administration officials including secretary of state tony blinken will deliver a classified briefing on the crisis to all members of congress this week. cnn's kylie atwood is live at the united nations with these breaking details on today's really critical meeting. kylie, what have you heard so far from this meeting? >> reporter: well, listen, very, very stark lang

it was called for the united states and russia, but it was very hot— united states and russia, but it caught in the middle i— very hot for those caught in the middle. i very much hope that we are not in _ middle. i very much hope that we are not in the _ middle. i very much hope that we are not in the new cold war. are middle. i very much hope that we are not in the new cold war.— middle. i very much hope that we are not in the new cold war.- it l not in the new cold war. are we? it is hard to say- _ not in the new cold war. are we? it is hard to say- i _ not in the new cold war. are we? it is hard to say. i would _ not in the new cold war. are we? it is hard to say. i would put - not in the new cold war. are we? it is hard to say. i would put it - not in the new cold war. are we? it is hard to say. i would put it this . is hard to say. i would put it this wax _ is hard to say. i would put it this wax we — is hard to say. i would put it this way. we have great power struggle that goes— way. we have great power struggle that goes back... in many ways, it goes _ that goes back... in man

russia. so the question in this crisis relate to my mind has been notwithstanding these differences, we united states have an interest in getting involved in a war with russia and the worst possible place imaginable? namely on its doorstep. the biggest loser if there was a war would be ukraine because the cold reality and one might wish it were otherwise, is that it will be left completely defenseless. host: if you say that russia is not an existential threat to us, are we an existential threat to russia? and if so, why doesn't russia seem to fear that? why don't they seem to be worried about provoking the united states and united states allies? >> both sides have a very stylized vision of the threat that each process to the and in some particular respects that is accurate. if we were having this discussion in moscow and you were a russian government spokeswoman or spokesman -- i think the immediate russian concern is the advance of native toward its borders. i want to be clear this is not the only reason for the crisis nor is that the only item separating us on the russians. there is question

well, it doesn't mean that your frame needs to be physically in the room every time the united states and russia talks about your crime. i think the united states has to give up that pretense the united states is going to consult very closely with ukraine is going to consult very closely with our nato allies. in fact, we saw that this week, secretary of state anthony blanket, began, is european tour with a meeting in your brain with president lensky, his counterpart, foreign minister, then went to berlin to meet with ki nato allies before proceeding to geneva for talk with a lot that i think is the appropriate way to conduct a set of negotiations. the united states taking the lead on behalf of both nato and you and our ukranian parkers. well, let's take a look at some of the other stories making use around the world. the house minister for yeomans whose the rebels say 70 detainees were killed and airstrikes carried out. by the 70 lad pro government coalition, humanitarian group, say several children and civilians were also killed. the strikes targeted a jail, a telecommunications hub, and destro

the assumption is that russia, if it invaded ukraine, would occupied territory. and these are classic stay behind units that would carry out guerrilla warfare against, against, against russia. so that's, that's what's going on. there's, you know, it's not intelligence collection, it's not anything else. it's unconventional warfare. and what's interesting about that is it presumes the defeat of ukraine, which means the united states for all of its rhetoric, isn't there to do to back up ukraine to defend, to try to, to prevent the defeat of ukrainian military. it's, it's looking at long term disruption of russian interests. and that means war. i mean there's, there's no 2 other, you know, there's no other way of putting this means war between united states and russia. whether it's followed by proxy or direct is irrelevant at this point. and i will also say that anybody who's been involved in wars, i have understands that piece is far better than war. diplomacy is a better option than, than the national conflict. and right now we have a window of opportunity because this is still just training. this is st

russia choose it. what is new and different here isn't the content of what the united states is saying to russia.nd it, this proposal, these written responses to russia from the biden administration lay out areas that the united states has repeatedly pointed to in recent weeks where they think the united states and russia can work together. so those are things such as the placement of missiles in europe. arms control. things to reduce the capability for a situation to escalate. there are areas like those where they think the u.s. and russia can work together. but what was also in this document with the core principles that the united states isn't going to stray from. one of those being nato's open door policy, which essentially means that some day, ukraine could join nato and that is one thing that russia has repeatedly said they don't want to see but blinken made it very clear that that is not up for debate. listen to what he said. >> what we said publicly for many weeks and in a sense, for many years. that we will uphold the principle of nato's open door. nato's door is open. remains open. and

unit. this is russia, bowling, its neighbor. and i, you know, shaking the condiments of a multilateral system, talking to and thank you for explain that sir. clearly, tyson baka from the german council on foreign relations. thank you. we'll take a look at the most orders making headlines around the world. now. start in syria where the so called a slam. it stays as long as one of its a biggest attack since he was defeated there in 2019 the militant group targets had big iran prison in curtis controlled north, east and syria. a thousands of ice fighters are being held report said, dozens of ice fighters escaped. the health minister for yemen, who the rebels says 70 detainees were killed in air strikes, carried out by the saudi leg pro government coalition, humanitarian group, say several children and civilians were killed. the strikes targeted a jail telecommunications have been destroyed, buildings into cities, doctors, local hospitals are overwhelmed with injured victims. you gotta be you got an author quinn's are russia. basha

ah, busy w. news lived from berlin tonight, the united states wars of a quicken united response. if russia invades you, grave after price is talked here in berlin with european allies, u. s. secretary of state antony blink and says, the west is on the same page concerning russian aggression. any russian military forces move across the ukrainian border and commit new acts of aggression against ukraine that will be met with a swift, severe united response from the united states and our allies and partners also coming up tonight, serious accusations against former poca dick the 16th during his time, his german archbishop, did he know that children were being sexually abused and did he choose to look the other way? plus, flying into the record books and 19 year old becomes the youngest woman to fly. so low around the globe will look at what propelled her to make this record setting journey. ah, i'm bring. gov is good to have you with us on this thursday. america's top diplomat is in berlin to clean up and clear up any misunderstanding about western unity regarding russian aggression against uk

press conference where he said russia indeed does have red lines. ukraine cannot become part of nato and the united states and nato countries, whether ukraine is in nato or not, cannot use ukraine is a staging ground for advanced weapons and missiles, who would have a flight time to their targets in russia of just a couple minutes that this is a red line, this is not acceptable. and so clearly that because this is a whole sticking point, isn't it? as far as ukraine's concerned people who are the side of it, say, well, ukraine's a sovereign nation that you'd be able to do exactly what it wants to do and what, where it is. you know, we've, even if it's next door to russia, what is the argument, what is the strong argument that russia has say that ukraine shouldn't do that? well, let's just assume that the canadian government decided to have russia place advanced weapons at the u. s. canadian border, or let's say the mexican government did the same, or let's say cuba as happened in 1962. when the soviet union placed missiles in cuba and the united states took the world to the verge of thermo nuclear w

lavrov that on the security concerns russia has raised in recent weeks, the united states and europeanpartners are prepared to pursue possible means of addressing them in the spirit of reciprocity, which means, simply put, that russia must also address our concerns. there are several steps we can take, russia included, to increase transparency, to reduce risks, to advance arms-control, to build trust. i conveyed directly to mr. lavrov are specific concerns for russia's actions not only in ukraine, but throughout europe and indeed in the world. also laid out several ideas to reduce tensions and increase security which we have developed in consultation with our partners and allies, and where we believe we can find common ground again based on the per and support of reciprocity. this was not a negotiation, but a candid exchange of concerns and ideas. i made clear to mr. lavrov there are certain issues and printable's that the united states and our allies are committed to defend. that includes those that would impede the sovereign right of the ukrainian people to write their own future. th

russia choose it. the document was delivered and includes concerns of the united states and our allies and partners about russia's actions that undermine security and a principal and pragmatic evaluation of what russia has been raised and our own proposals where we might find common ground. we made clear that there are core principles that we are committed to uphold and defend including ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity and the right of states to choose our own security arrangements and alliances. we addressed the possibility of reciprocally transparent measures and also military exercises and maneuvers in europe, and we address other areas where we see potential for progress including arms-control related to missiles in europe, our interest in a follow-on agreement to the new s.t .a.r.t. treaty. we put these ideas forward because they have the potential if negotiated in good faith to enhance our security and that of our allies and partners while also addressing russia's concerns through reciprocal commitments. our response reflects what i said in berlin, and geneva. we are open to dialogue,

on very important provisions of those a draft agreement room, what actions would be undertaken, united russia, either those, the draft proposals would be refused by the us. and the nature of that was my 1st question. my 2nd question is, does russia consider so believe an expansion of its political and military strategic presence in some countries? thank you, intricacies for bureau choice. who as for the 1st part of your questions, we ask you have said yourself and media ah, awaiting your losses. a written response from our colleagues. we believe that our colleagues youth, pastor, concrete understood the need to do this expeditiously. and to do, to answer us in writing problems, we will not wait forever and the plans to drag their hills over this process aren't laser skills. oh there's, we're aware that the prospects off the problem you are in reaching a consensus depends on the us, whatever they say about the need to talk to their allies, bruce and the need to engage. oh, the always, the members in those of go, rose to says there was a just hollow statements and attendance to drag out this pr

how outrageous the other 5 are, the exact demands that the united states would make of russia, if there was a missile in cuba, right? stop putting missiles on our border, stop putting troops on our border, stop doing military games on our border stop. i stop a enlarging nato and stop it is supporting your so called security at the expense of ours. you know, these are absolutely reasonable things to sit down to discuss. if you think of russia as a partner in a discussion, rather than a misbehaving child to be kicked around to set an example to all the other misbehaving children in iran and korea and, and a china and around the world. so, you know, nato is not interested in resolving this. i, the last thing i want is russian missiles in, in the western hemisphere. but if you see that you will see the double standard play out quite starkly. you know, brad, 11 of the odd wrinkles in all of this here is that when nato and russia meant it meant a nato, dis, one to harp on ukraine and not on not to go address the 2 documents that are the russians, very thoughtfully, are formulated about a pan

united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with no invasion, no war to report, at least for now. for the past 2 weeks, the west and russia have locked linguistic hordes pulling each other ever closer to the edge of a military confrontation over ukraine. today, it took only 90 minutes for the top diplomats of both the united states and russia . to agree that there is still more to talk about when the 1st rounded discussions began almost 2 weeks ago in geneva, russia presented a list of security demands or requested a written response from the us to day. again in geneva, the us agreed to reply in writing, but it won't be anything the kremlin wants to read. our coverage starts tonight in switzerland at least their talking. but with relations between the us and russia, at an extreme low point, the 2 countries, top diplomats had radically different goals. the u. s. to avoid russian military action in ukraine. we've been clear if any russian military forces move across ukraine's border, that's renewed invasion. it will be met with swift, severe, and the united response from the united states, and are partisan allies. russia ha

russia. nevertheless, he says, there is some optimism varies the negotiation. there are tools that are ongoing and perhaps a solution might be reached the solution which satisfies both the united states and russia. nevertheless, we must account. he says, for relations relations, which for years i have a deteriorated, which i now at a level that has catastrophic and which were, which says a lab, rob says a much you to the fault for which is much in it. i did, said scored what with various demands that they have made over the years with regards to russia, you slew on, you know, if they insist that they will not change their position, we will not change opposition either. it's just that their position is based on false arguments on a direct turning over the facts and opposition is based on what everyone signed up under. and here i don't see any room for compromise. otherwise, what is they to agree on? if they frankly sabotage and misrepresent the old decisions, this will be a key test for us. i'd russia with regards to what is happening in ukraine of the russian foreign minister also said that the united states and nato are pushing ukraine towards an escalation. they're pushing t

a commission has been established in the framework of the united russia political party in order to provide our compatriots with all the types of assistance. and we of course also include those who want to relocate to the russian federation. and we will provide our compatriots all the necessary assistance in the framework of your 1st question so that they would be able to feel themselves comfortable in that all in the countries where they reside. now invited mascara to please have the floor, but you know, i beg your pardon, roman. and you also mentioned the article in com, summers care provider about the many us on the history history books that are being published in or says countries. i will not comment on warden estonians ukrainians. lithuanians lap means more about thought the right in those books. but as for the c s countries we are with a lot of last years, we said that there is no need to scrooge. give nationalists the pretext by studio and go into some edition or modular complex issues of our road, while common history that held all the peoples that were living asked and are still l

now. russia's national security interests and united ninety's because there was no one in russia . so articulate those demands. are we talking about past past 2 decades? ever since the foreign concepts replace the concept of 2000 russia as in reasserting herself and what he forwards a list of demands regards to security and nato time. and time again has been ignoring as if we look at the all the ways of nature large. nancy, nancy, match 9 ne, in 20 its hands miss others as infrastructure and check republican poland watchers . a major, major issue during the ocean was ministration as well. i assume this is definitely the right sign. arise time for this event, mary. i mean, a, russia, it said that nato should no longer expand east, were particularly with ukraine in georgia. but let's all, that's all be frank here. and ukraine really is already be a factor. we're member of, of nato. and the u. s. is continuing to send arms, their army, a greater lethal capacity here. i mean, the russian say, we don't want to see nato expand to include ukraine. but if they, they move these types of sys

for the russian people in, for europe as a whole, a russia's hope here wasn't to get the united states or nato to, to come to an agreement. or their hope was to drive home the reality of the consequences of failure. um and get europe european nations theresa there hand and say hey, wait a minute. um, maybe war isn't in our best interests and i think that's happening right now. i think we, we've seen the seeds of doubt being sewed enough, france and germany and elsewhere where they're beginning to question the wisdom in the by ability of the hard line stance, taken by the united states, nato. you know, it's got a david, david, i mean, what was south and burn the head of, of nato. he constantly says like a broken record that nato is a defensive alliance. what kind of defensive alliance needs to constantly expand? because it seems to me that it has to expand to justify its existence and its expanded so much to russia's borders. that now they can say, but see now there's a threat here that though it was, the expansion itself was what created the threat in the 1st place. explained your view

ah, it looked, this was a given when russia published the 2 draft treaties, nato in the united states made it clear that they were not going to exceed to russia's demand. and nothing has happened in the interim that that could lead anybody to think that that would not be the outcome. so, you know, we, we've reached a point right now that the o sized knew they're going to, there's no surprises here. russia knew that this was going to happen. nato in the united states knew that this was going to happen. now the, the question is, what is russia going to do? that's the, that's the ultimate question. and you know that that's difficult. the only only the currently can answer that one, right? but you don't see any movement on the demands at all, no concessions that the u. s. might be willing to offer to russia, for example, just one scott is really interested to read it by the the fact that there's an u. s. nuclear weapons in europe, germany, belgium, italy, turkey at that seems to be an on starter as well. getting those out of the continent, the united states and nato for decades. now, it s

it's funny when you're reading the on the objections at the united states representatives are putting forward, they're demanding that russia deescalate, their aggressive behavior stops. inflammatory rhetoric is almost like a, a bullet point list of what the united states themselves are either doing or not doing. next, human rights watch says some of them watching them. the global body claims. the notorious is rarely developed spyware, known as pegasus was used to target the director of its office in lebanon. lemme fact he shared with us how she 1st became aware that she was being snoop tom. only learned about the high when i received a notification from apple and number. and after confirming that in fact, the notification was authentic. we were able to review the data on my phones, conduct the forensic analysis, and confirm that my device has been targeted 5 times between april august, 2021. during the time of the attack between april and august of last year, i was working very intensively on an investigation to see which the government officials were couple were responsible for this last haven't taken place. it is possibl

it's funny when you're reading the objections in the united states representatives reporting forward, they're demanding that russia deescalate, their aggressive behavior stops. inflammatory rhetoric is almost like a bullet point list of what the united states themselves are either doing or not doing. ah, the bad news keeps building for bars. johnson like female suggest the british prime minister prioritized pets. other people during last summer's withdrawal from afghanistan, while thousands of british citizens and allies couldn't get out of the country. a p . m had previously dismissed the claims as nonsense. that gets the message is obtained by sky news appeared to show the alice that was authorized by johnson himself equivalent charity run by x royal marine has received a lot of publicity and the pm has just authorized their staff and animals to be evacuated. animal charity are hoping to be treated in the same capacity. so the question now is did the prime minister actually authorize pen farthings animals to get out of the country via a private chart to flight? according to these leagues, a mountain was involvin

what is the way i and one of the i've said this for many, many years, countries like the united states and russia, united states, and they don't have to be friends, they should never be enemies. and that's my position here, right? you know, one issue that this never explained to western audiences is that, you know, sending all of these arms to ukraine. there was a shipment there over the, i mean, a shipment from the u. k. had to avoid flying over germany because the germans, their policy is not to send a weapons into a, a potential battlefield situation. that shows you what the level of unity there is in, in nato. but, you know, when sending these arms, it's not to protect from a russian invasion for me, it is being could potentially and most likely be use as an another attack on the don bass. which of course, is a trigger for russia as well to make it very clear, you attacked a dumbass. these are, most of many of them are russian citizens. now they have russian passports because they've been cut off from everything from ukraine proper. they're under blockade. no wonder they want to become russia

process with the conversations that took place in our strategic stability dialogue between russia and the united states 10 days ago at the nato-russia council at the organization for cooperation security in europe, that, again we understand russia has stated concerns about security. we have our own very clear concerns about security and the actions that russia is taking that undermine ir and -- it and we are prepared to discuss and negotiate steps to enhance everyone's security and i have laid out some of the areas where i think we can do that. right now that is about the areas and ideas that we can pursue. and, we will see how russia responds. reporter: secretary, have you considered the russians are just buying time to find a place to invade ukraine. maybe you jump through hoops like get delivering handwritten questions to answer and meanwhile there stabilizing ukraine from human -- from within. at what point do you stop playing russia's game and take preemptive action now. sec. blinken: first, we are not standing still, and we can walk and chew gum at the same time and that is what we have be

this is about more even ukraine and russia, more even than europe and russia and the united states andly is and should be a global concern because there are some basic principles of international security at stake that has helped keep the peace and security in europe for the last decades. and it goes to very basic principles -- >> brennan: exactly, but vladimir putin obviously has no regard for those principles in the past eight years that he has been invading and taking parts of ukraine. when you get to that bigger "what is this all about" question, the state department said they were concerned about the possibility of russia moving nuclear weapons back into belarus. you have high precision equipment being used towards ukraine. is this about something more than just that country? >> this is exactly why even as we're engaged in diplomacy, we are very much focused on building up defense, building up deterrents for both ukraine and nato itself. nato itself will be enforced if russia commits acts of aggression. all of that is on the table. but, again, when it comes to these principles, ma
