he spoke recently to the u, a. e ambassador to the united nations, just after a couple of things had happened. so one was the who t fighters had attacked of a daddy. 3 people died shortly after that there was an attack on a detention center in sata and over 90 people were killed, mostly civilians. and then james bayes had this moment at the united nations. and i'm really interested in how you unpack, what is happening here. geopolitically. take a look. your defense on the law has to be proportionate. does it not? and the president of the council, norway, speaking in a national cock capacity, said the attack that took place and saddam was on except to what you have heard to day. and you will know, following the work of the council, that this is rare. what you have heard today is the unanimous condemnation by the security council against the terrorist attack against the united arab emirates on monday, the 17th of january. i'm not asking you about that. i'm asking you about your response and whether it was proportionate

well, the e u has some e u members have been quoted as saying they want big bang sanctions against russia . again, this is very ominous. we can only guess what they mean by that, but there are people in, within the e, you have already sanction 27 high profile russian entities. that's one. incidentally, for every member states, the e. u. after this announcement, my president, putin, as you would expect, perhaps more sanctions of course, from the west in the e u. what they would be and is still up for debate that have been some kind of toothless sanctions promise and, and carried out by the us. of course, joe biden said he would target the economies if you can scan. and annette by imposing trade sanctions on the to region, despite him having no kind of trade relationship between the u. s. and those regions, we are expecting more sanctions. what they will be is still there. yes, we see. okay, well i'm sure you've been with us throughout the day. danny, thanks for bringing us up to speed on the latest se on the armstrong cave. well, the usa key is russia of launching an invasion when it avail

which we see playing out today when side area formed a coalition of several countries including the u. e. and with full backing and support from the united states and the united kingdom to launch this offensive in yemen. and that led to where we are right now with the who these forming and shakia lines initially with saw that to push back against this coalition. and now they are essentially only other the only group left to form some kind of arms struggle against the coalition. and the coalition continuing to mostly use air raids to and the blockade to try to assert the high, the, the former president, heidi or the internalizing happy back to power. so we'll get a very compact explanation of how we got to this place. i deal with saying, hey, on the string today that we are seeing this intensifying will happen in yemen. are you seeing that to what are the sites? yeah, so, so just to answer the question about the why the, the simplest killing. and i think the main reason for that one is the lack of in the accountability mechanism to, to hold all those axes accountable for their violations

so here's a real proxy war going on here between the u. s. e u and russia ukrainians are in the middle. they're the ones that are the ones getting shot on. they're fighting and dying for the us, not for their own independence. united nations security council as cold or emergency meeting to focus on the situation in ukraine with the u. s. on his western allies. seekins isolates moscow. russia recently used his veto as a permanent member of the council to cancel a resolution against moscow. while china, india and the united arab emirates all abstained on new york correspond kellum open reports. the representative of the united states hurled a lot of allegations at russia, accusing russia of many things, and blaming russia for the entire conflict. here's some of what we heard. we need to take extraordinary actions to meet this threat, to our international system, and do everything we can to help ukraine and it's people. just this morning, president putin put rushes nucular forces on high alert. even though he is invading a country with no nuclear

i took the decision in 2017 to adopt a law that made e u. membership out of it's a strategic foreign policy and security policy. and it doesn't appear at the momentary that there are more e u member states, or who have expressed that keenness that desire to bring a ukraine into the fold. of course, they would be implications for the european union. for example, if ukraine were to have been a european union member now, much more would have been needed in terms of perhaps boots on the ground in support of the ukrainian armed forces. so it does appear that the majority of member states are, are reserved about that they've, at least not made public remarks at the kind that we've heard from, from the polish delhi ab president, as well as the slovakian ahead of state. so you, so the majority of emergencies are reserved about this. so, so is this crisis in ukraine regarding ukraine bringing the e you closer together or is that another source of diversion? sorry, the united nest. i can call it that, that we seen in the european union on, on, on this, on, on, on coming to ukraine's defense on,

now the e u is also saying that it's mulling a 3rd round of possible sanctions, and this could include the swift international payment system at the moment. the e u has been resistive to add a blocking russia from accessing that. the u. k has already taken that step, but it is a possibility in the coming days and weeks now the blocks foreign affairs chief, this is joseph burrell said that none of these measures are designed to target individual russian citizens. and he's also congratulated them on taking part in protests against their own government. within russia. i want to stay where we are not targeting russia people. many of them broke against this senseless war. and i want to salute their courage, the cottage of the people that the 58 russian cities had been demonstrating against the war that we certainly made. the difference between cumberland and russia put in not the russian people. now the sanctions may be designed to target elite russians and not everyday ordinary citizens. but the reality is these will trickle down and impact people on an everyday basis and already russian c

while we're also seeing the closure of e u. air space to all our russian owned russian registered or russian controlled aircraft. as was announced by ursula on the line, we are shutting down the e u. air space for rushes. we're proposing a prohibition on all russian owned russian registered and russian controlled aircraft. these aircraft will no more be able to land in take off over fly the territory of the european union. and that includes the private jets of oligarchs to the european union, continuing to take more sanctions against russia in retaliation for russia's actions in ukraine. i from on this we can cross a live to can stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war can thanks for being with us here on our international. so the e u has decided to purchase and deliver weapons for ukraine for the 1st time in the block history. it's big news. how significant do you think it's the step? i think it's a significant step, but it's an escalation rather than a d escalation of the situation. it's like pouring gasoline onto the flames of a fire. i don't understand why they would want

the e. u announced that we won't broadcast there any more for what the presidents decision to start. the operation has to do with us is unclear. it's absolutely obvious that no matter whether we continue broadcasting or not, the operation would proceed. it's absolutely clear that it's just an excuse. they wanted to close us for a long time, but it would have looked bad in the eyes of their own citizens, our audience, because it's against freedom of speech anyway. and now it convenient excuse appeared and they decided to get rid of the long lasting uncomfortable issue of us and our huge audience in this way, room will find some other way to communicate with our audience, for sure without direct broadcasting. but the people of the european union today can see how much that allotted, talk of freedom of speech costs. yes, be more the you have promised more sanctions, while russian troops remain in ukraine. we'll be looking to see what form they will take. the lexical expert john laughed under, exp

now the e u blocks are chief of foreign affairs. i am chief, this is use of beryl has said that these sanctions are not meant to target ordinary russian citizens. and he's also congratulated those in russia who he says have stood up to their governments by protesting. i want to stay where we are not targeting russia people, many of them wish bulk against the senseless war. and i want to salute their courage, the cottage of the people that in 58 russian cities had been demonstrating against a war and were certainly made the difference between cumberland and russia put in not the russian people. so the sanctions are meant to target the elite and not ordinary ashan russian citizens. but the reality is, sanctions like this will trickle down through the economy. a will impact ordinary individuals and already russian nationals living in parts of the european union and in the u. k. are already wondering how this will bite, how this will impact them, and of course, how it will impact their families. back in russia. economists richard wolf c

the missile fragments came down in a remote area, the u. e. responded to the missile with a strike of its own, reportedly out of who's the missile launch site in yemen, across the us government, the who these actions are being condemned. this is a challenge that we are very focused on. we're very focused on it in terms of providing support that are partners, saudi arabia and you a need to defend themselves against these types of terrorist attacks. the president said he has directed the secretary of defense to work, to shore up u e defenses. clearly these attacks have m, have not been a 100 percent successful. we continue to, as i said, to 40 explorer opportunities to improve our, our defenses and, and the defenses of our m muradi partners as well. the biden administration came into office promising to focus on ending the very long war in yemen. but recent strikes and statements make it clear that is still far from happening. now. patty call hain al jazeera washington well still had here on al jazeera, the search for survivors in brazil saw ap

what are the prospects of the country becoming an e. u members stayed very quickly while the response add to that perhaps the her by the a european council president sha michelle. i'll give that see here. as he said, it, he said look, the e, you already has an association agreement with ukraine, which can be deepened at. so essentially, all michelle, a basically, you know, cutting, reducing their, their, their expectation. they're basically taking it off the table for ukraine to be granted. and that e u membership, we know that some member states, poland for exam examples over here do support the ukrainians in that in that they have publicly chord for, for, for ukraine to be granted, accession into the european union. but i'll point out that most e, you states, right, the majority of eager states have not officially stated their support for ukraine's accession into the european union. so it's difficult to see and some kind of an express parsley for the ukrainians to be granted eager membership. at the moment it does appear that the more p

so it doesn't appear that there is appetite from the majority of e u. member states to admit ukraine or to certainly fast track ukraine's membership into the european union. and i will point out that there is cooperation already cooperation with the ukrainians and the e u at different levels. the eastern partnership, for example, and just just this morning at the council president char michelle, was saying that the you already has an association agreement with the ukraine and he suggested that that could be deepened as so that gives you a good sense of what the leadership of the european union is thinking and that it's deepening existing cooperation ties, but not necessarily i'm creating a pathway for, for membership just yet. christine, in the past we've seen various crises reveal split with among the european union members. storage is this crisis bringing you closer together. it absolutely is a terry in a way that many thought was unthinkable. in fact, some experts have gone as far as to say that even moscow didn't budget for the level of unity and coo
