u. s. u. k and turkey, acting as guarantors, engineering, they were demanding clear cut, legal binding security guarantees which in its content and shape should be similar to article 5 of the nato treaty. so that means if ukraine is the target of any aggression or military attack, we will be entitled to hold consultations within 3 days. if consultations fail to bring about a solution, the guarantee countries should provide us with military assistance weapons and we do not rule out the possibility of closing the sky over ukraine. didn't go to taking into account the principles discussed during today's meeting. the ministry of defense decided to fundamentally cut back military activity in the directions of kip, enter into here, to increase the mutual trust and to create the necessary conditions for further negotiations and achieving the ultimate goal of finding an agreement. meanwhile, the russian cruise missile has hit the government building in the port of mc alive, which has been holding off the ru

u. s. u k. and in ukraine itself, some of which are linked to world war, he didn't write that, that was written by 2 lobbyists to our on the payroll of builder be questions will they be pulled up? because i want to put the point to do think that ukrainian attempts to enforce a certain normative will receive as much attention from media regulators that russian media certainly has will. of course not. we see, you know, this despite the fact that we know this is a state essentially state propaganda. none of it is labeled as such on our social media outlets. whereas of course, you know, wretched media is not only a scarlet letter as a fixed to it permanently or to anyone remotely associated with russian state media . but also now we have widespread censorship where channels like, you know, r t, people have to go to alternative platforms like rumble. it can't be seen on youtube is now essentially blacklisted information. and so, you know, the, well, we have russian. i mean, when you look at, you know, of

u. s. e u and u. k. have already banned any equipment and components needed to sustain military capabilities, as well as luxury goods. the u. s. is cut off russian oil and gas imports. the u. k . will phase it out by the end of the year while the e. u aims to become independent from russian russian energy, while before 2030 below russian flights have been banned from the u. s. u. k. and european aerospace, the u. k is also banned the private jets chartered by russians and western countries of frozen the assets of russia. central bank cut in the country all from $630000000000.00 in foreign currency reserves. some russian banks have been removed from the international financial messaging system. swift and hundreds of members of russia's government then business leaders, known as oligarchs, have been independently sanctioned or diplomatic editor. james base has more from brussels. e, u foreign ministers meeting earlier this week. in the 4 weeks since the invasion, they've already agreed for packages of sanct

u. s. u k and turkey acting as guarantors. a russian cruise missile has hit a government building in the port city of mich alive, which has been holding off a russian assault. at least 9 people died in the attack. the regional administration building was left with a gaping hole through it. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski condemned the attack, saying there were no military targets in the city. at least 5 people have been killed in a shooting incident in israel. police the saying the shootings happened at several locations and been a brand new television. at least one of those killed is thought to be a police officer. it's the latest in a series of attacks in the past week, which is rails, private history has called a new wave of terrorism. harry force, it has more from west drew, slim. well, initially the reports were that this attack her, it was on a motorcycle and it was some sort of a drive by shooting in separate locations inside. been a brack, which is an ultra orthodox sort of city or, or neighborhood of television,

u. s. u k. and in ukraine itself, some of which are linked to the u. k. government in particular, we also have lobbyist here in washington, d. c, who are writing speeches for vladimir the lensky. we are getting a completely, i would say manufactured narrative, the curated narrative, to manage our perceptions of what this war is. and much of it is actually being done here in washington. we have russian state media being censored as well as anti war media in general, being censored. now we have ukranian propaganda and state department propaganda receiving the opposite treatment being promoted, even though it's very clear as i demonstrate in the investigation that is just simply propaganda. it is not news in any kind of in anybody's imagination. the south africa has proposed a draft resolution of the united nations general assembly in response to another resolution from ukraine and its allies demanding aid access and civilian protection in ukraine. but whereas the south african draw focused on the humanitarian situation in ukraine without the portion of b

u. s. u k and e u member states have, well, they've upheld their views of tolerance as virtue. why now are we seeing so much discrimination and hate speech against russians in those western countries? i mean, i mean russia has always been a bad guy on some level, but i mean, we haven't seen this level of bruce a phobia and so love i haven't seen anything like this is the 1990 s campaign, vilifying the serbs in yugoslavia in fact, it's probably just a carbon copy of the same campaign except dealing with russians that you know, much bigger country, much more numerous people are much more influential. lovely. but it seems like the people they're managing, the narratives in the west have basically just copied the entire playbook and using it all over again. and what they're doing is degrees. i don't know, know what the reason i can guess at it. but my best guess is that their sole, their entire order, this whole, our democracy thing that i mentioned before, is based on narratives and did key simply cannot tolerate any discussion, any debate, much less any challenge to these narrativ

u. s. u. k. and also with the soviet union. it's actually in the us poor, the rises nowadays. i actually, i have read the news and i also find a very difficult sometimes to trying to trying to what is true or false. for instance, i tell you and the early reports suggesting that in, in what i read in the news here in the okay, that the largest nuclear plant in ukraine was on fire. yeah. but it, and i got recently, i just got got a message from my friend from india and he just told me that no, it was a false report. so. so i, i have a feeling that things are now a bit kind of bull towel in terms of the credibility of the media report here. ok. what do you agree or would you disagree that beijing, in terms of its comments, said that washington would want to deflect attention from america's role in ukraine is facing right in that respect. ok, i think we need to read your and walk the aging sees, criticizing the u. s. office the and i think there's a political motivation on the side of the america media for sure. but at the same time for what is transpiring now in your k, sorry, in

u. s. u k and turkey acting as guarantors, the government has we opened 3 humanitarian corridors to get stranded civilians out of the besieged city of mariel and the besieged towns mer. mario poll says 5000 civilians have been killed the since the war began. and the fighting goes on, a rational cruise missile has hit the government building in the port of nicholas. we've been holding off a russian assault, killing at least 9 people. stephanie decker was there. as we arrived, nikolai is, there is panic. a russian war plain is suspected of being close by so the people are told to find immediate shelter. soon after the air raid sirens sound, the alarm across the city there was looking through said the when you showed you, my hands are shaking so i can't eat, i can drink. i just want to stay. life was the only seen was that skipped? miss tron is my family. i have a small child. i want him to leave under a peaceful sky from yet even. i don't want to live in another country and i want to live in my muscl

u. s. and u. k. bad on, on russell oil. really mean for russia, it's economy, it's president, will it hurt either more for us? it's not the program for united states and u. k. l, for example, you are open to buy or not. so before construction, if i am ready to deal with trying to provide more company for next year, we sell for a new contract 2nd of this year. and so i think it's more probably much for you nicole. so shoot them left by united states when they pull the faction in the fall. and now we, she definitely go of our community in venezuela is broken by american sanctions. and they can not provide moral oil to united states or something. and of oral surveys are option of both natural gas and more dangerous for you. we're going to come for russia. and for example, no price for you sir, is more cheaper than before before the sanctions. and it's good for developing the metrics from on the rush. so for the moment i see more to the problem for us. it's so because of this section, ok, what if the e u was a follow the u. s. a

u. s. u. k, and turkey acting as guarantors, ukraine's president says signals from the talk could be called positive, but they do not drown out the explosions for russian shells. razzles 3rd reports from a stumble. it may be frail, but there is still hope for peace. russian and ukrainian delegations math for face to face talks in a stumble. talking with both parties before the meeting, the turkish president stressed the need for an immediate cease fire, and better humanitarian conditions. burner injudicious in it will be in everyone's interest to agree in a cease fire and achieve peace as soon as possible. we think you're at a point where the negotiations could yield concrete results. right now you as members of the delegations have a historical responsibility. medically before the meeting, ukrainian president, will it him or is it asking the signal, his flexibility on the most sensitive issues, including the long contested eastern don bus region. i and ukraine's neutral slater here gloomy. and we di

and that is where russian forces are advancing. now, all of this happening just hours before an emergency meeting in brussels of u. s. canadian, u. k, and european foreign ministers. in addition to native take a listen to what the head of native yen stoughton berg set about that shilling of the ukrainian nuclear power plant. we condemn the attacks on civilians a note, and i've also seen reports about detect against the nuclear potent. this just demonstrates the record recklessness of his war, unimportant sofa, and the 8th on the importance of russia, withdrawing all its troops and engage in good faith in diplomatic efforts that was in stoughton beg, speaking their turkey has offered to assist with that. it's foreign minister saying today in brussels, that on cover wants to bring russian and ukrainian diplomats together at an international forum next week. it's yet unclear if that can happen. but what is clear is naida will not impose a no fly zone over ukraine. ukrainian president zalinski has repeatedly called for one to prevent further russian airstrikes. we have responsibility as a laws to prevent this war pro, escalating the on

u. s. u k, and the e. u. today, they've been phased further sanctions on russia. but what is your message to west and needed? my or message is that we have no time we earth observed that intense work crimes is increasing from day to day. we don't know which will be best in several hours. we really need to pro active action. we need lighter jets and planes. we need a different system in order to be able to protect them. elation in your trans acquaintance. we need to our gently, as the complex economical measures i means to put rushing like least beefed and to ban all russian banks from from swift. and because only several banks deprived from us to the system. so we have no time. and real solidarity has to be proactive. alexandra, much check from keith, working for the ukranian human rights organization center for civil liberties. thank you for speaking to algebra. thank you. well, there's lots more still to come this hour. hundreds of ukrainian refugees land in portugal after the government relaxes red tape to allow more of them in the country . ah, that just 36 chi

know, what you're doing on the ground for the final show in the studio and 19 years to the eve of an invasion of iraq by the u. s. u. k, australia and poland. that would arguably capitalize the killing, wounding, or displacing of tens of millions all around the world was of course, george w bush, a secretary of state, colin powell who held a vial at the un security council to make the flawed case for war in iraq.

u. s. the u. k. japan and e u. member states. germany is quoted, a breach of contract is the russian president justified to move them no more than western countries have taken illegitimate. decisions on the so called freezing of russian, i think we might get this collective west is actually drawn a line under the reliability of its currency so that you've already spoken about this across the trust in these currency to hear it or to get more on this i've been speaking to macau critique in his found and the leading analyst at ris energy. moscow, he was speaking to us from the law in capital rieger, and the signal wasn't great. but what he has to say is very interesting. so his, his take on what president putin is actually thinking well, basically i believe it's just about, yeah, it's sort of some sort of a rhetoric addressed to domestic audience. there are some presidents, one still solemn pay $3.00 or 2 in just declarations. and you said that the sales for foreign currency is her book, or have this group disgraced t

know what you're doing on the ground for the final show in the studio and 19 years to the eve of an invasion of iraq by the u. s. u. k, australia and poland that would arguably capitalize the killing, wounding, or displacing of tens of millions all around the world was of course george.

u. s. and the u. k. supplied and to take me. so traveling and in laws, more coming from other countries now and they are proving to be very, very successful in destroying that russian tanks of the home and vehicles. so the rest of teaching moving over to a technical, just aerial bombardment, the kind of things where you can, doesn't have much in the way of offices to basically destroy civilian infrastructure, attack, heating facility and teaching plants, electricity, water, 16 medical basically to make the humanitarian price so high that maybe that would then put pressure on the government's to capitulate, or at least to accommodate some of those pretty extraordinary aggressive demands that russia has. maybe i'd like to talk about the possibility of further talks. next we've had 6 hours a couple of days ago, the future look, same doubt. so nick will hear from ukraine of foreign minister, demetrius for labor, and then we'll come back to you more how to see yawns. going to do those size rushes demands remain the same as putin anno

u. s. nato and the ukrainians so luckily, we've seen this movie before. once again, and i really like the way that the u. s. u k and others are calling russia out on this and saying no impunity here if you use a weapon of mass destruction of chemical weapons. we are going to call you out on this and there will be very severe consequences, so that is a really good thing in terms of , you know the no fly zone. i frankly don't see at the moment that this is important. compared to providing some defensive capabilities against his incoming missiles. the russians aren't really dominating the skies and ukraine at the moment , they're not flying their air force very much they are sending in missiles, missile strikes. and so what ukrainians really need some help with is missile defense at the moment. what about the nuclear option? are you concerned about that? well again. this is a game that putin has played in the past in 2014. when he seized crimea. he was rattling the nuclear saber. he does it from time to time. this is from my perspective. really irresponsible games playing with this horrendous weapon that is really

and 19 years to the eve of in the asians of iraq by the u. s. u. k, australia and poland. that would arguably capitalize the killing, wounding, or displacing of tens of millions all around the world was of course, george w bush, a secretary of state, colin powell, who held a vial at the un security council to make the flawed case for war in iraq. and as the world today teaches on the edge of a global conflict, that could be even more deadly than iraq, afghanistan, libya, or syria and join us from falls church, virginia by pals, former chief of staff, colonel larry wilkerson retired colonel wilkinson. thank you so much for coming back on the show. just stay in the past few days. i think one reporter said to jen sanky, the press secretary for the white house. why are you sending in shot guns, pistols, a grenade launchers and the like to the ukrainian people as defensive weapons? what do you make of the massive amounts of arms on top of the ones given before i rushes invasion? what it, what do you make of this arming of ukraine? well, 1st of all, to domestic political require

u. s. u. k and turkey acting as guarantors, the government has reopened 3 humanitarian corridors to get stranded civilians out of the besieged city of mary apple and of the besieged towns. in there of mariel poll says 5000 civilians have been killed there since the war began. and the fighting goes on, a russian cruise missile has hit a government building in the port of mich alive, which has been holding off a russian assault, killing at least 9 people. stephanie decker was there as we arrive in, michel, i of there is panic. a russian war plane is suspected of being close by don't of people are told to find immediate shelter. soon after the air raid siren sound, the alarm across the city there was looking through said, so when you go shoot you my hands are shaking. so i can't eat, i can drink, i just want to stay. life was the only seniors that skip me. strong is my family. i have a small child. i want him to leave under a peaceful sky from here to rome. i don't want to live in another country. i wa

u. s. u and the u. k. are taking against russia right now. what do we know and do we know what exactly is being cut off from the swiss payment system so far? well, over the weekend, the us european allies in canada, they agreed to cut off key russian banks from the swift messaging system which connects more than $11000.00 banks. now this is a very significant move, and it means that there's going to be an enormous scramble for dollars in russia. and now russia over the past several years, they've a mass, a huge war, chest of some $630000000000.00 in foreign reserves, which is at its highest level ever right now. so this war chest will help it to withstand sanctions and losses and export revenue. however, if some of those assets are frozen, that changes the calculations for russia, because by cutting it off from swift, it'll make it near impossible for the central bank of russia to liquidate those assets. so now with this move, russia cannot deploy a good part of that $600000000000.00 that it's been carefully building up. and this means that it

and in doing so, rock d u. k. public of access to information. earlier i spoke with tara reader, author and former u. s. senate aid who thinks bending r t is an attempt by the west to silence opposing viewpoints. archie is a voice that we need to hear and as an american citizen, i want to hear a different voices. i want to not only just the through western lens, will a cocker see, isn't it? i mean, what about maybe see what about hdtv? yeah. what about mt are those are all funded by the british and the american governments. and they're only presenting one side of the story. you know, i just deleted my facebook and my instagram because they wanted to promote or say it was ok to have hate speech about russian. it's a very diabolical attempts by the west q sensor and silence. another voice, another international voice, and i think that all press should be very worried because if they can just take away or 2 license, then they can do it to anyone in grief. hundreds of farmers took to the streets of athens on friday to protest against drastically rising fuel and fertilizer prices connected with the use sanc

and with assurance of security assurances from the u. s. the u. k. and russia, and now here we are in 2022 and ukraine again talking about new neutrality now, which is new, but security assurances being given to it. i'm just wondering if this notion of neutrality is going to mean anything. considering the assurances from other countries that have been made to ukraine in the past have turned out to be nothing. well, it depends on who is providing that security guarantees. and obviously, i mean, well, when the crime was trying to find a security solution for the situation of track from russia, so they opted for us to know about it or built. it didn't work. so they opted for nato membership, but it doesn't work either because the natal states are not interested in getting it crime in so i mean it could be possible or if you evil crime, we'll find security guarantees that provide the state with witnesses that day with necessary security, and i mean for instance the, the role of turkey in this situation can be very interesting because darkie has a strategi

the minutes of march 6th 199 to one meeting and bond between political directors of the foreign ministry of the u. s. u. k. france and germany. we had made it clear during the 2 plus 4 negotiations that we would not extend nato beyond the ill. we could not therefore offer poland and others membership in nato. is it any surprise that moscow has become distrustful all at once? it was a document with a legally binding security guarantees, but it seems that the west was never interested in this. the same way. it was never interested in keeping its promises to force ukraine to implement the medical chords . key of pledge decentralizing reforms, to provide bored autonomy to the eastern regions that declared independence in 2014 . instead t of launched what a called an antique terrorist operation in the breakaway republics. ah ah ah, the fact that over 14000 people were children, the don bye since 2014 didn't seem to concern or to be noticed by the international community. the west also closed its eyes to the fact that many of the volunteer battalions accompanying the ukrainian military in a fight against the re

and as we heard the war in ukraine is rippling around the global economy, the u. s. the e u and the u. k of all sanctioned russia, but there are no sanctions coming from turkey. now there's pressure on wretched type air. the want to change that as the head of a nato country. he has to live up to the policies of the western military alliance . but he's careful not to alienate his russian counterpart. fatima putin, economically, as a lot of stake attend turkey is stumbles famous. i a sophia, one of the cities most important tourist destinations. last year, 4 and a half 1000000 russians visit a turkey more than from any other country. but now with the russian warren ukraine, bringing sanctions against russia. turkish hotel and restaurant owners expect for tours and revenues to drop significantly. the russians keep us alive here in istanbul, and at the again see when they're not coming. we're off worse. it's a fact that fewer russians will come and that will be tough. on turkey, it's economy already in distress. economists are worried that the value of the rubel has dropped. so for russians,

u. s. e u, u k. and other countries will have to be now paid in the local currency in the rural. and they say this is a legitimate way for the russians because they are facing those a wide range of sanctions. not for those countries. the unfriendly country is that they have to open up a bank accounts in russian bands starting from tomorrow. this is where the new rules rules come into place to be able to see those supplies continuing. otherwise, the contrast will be stopped and is quite interesting to see that the russian president of the demon, putting his adamant about the need to move forward with that retaliatory retaliatory measure. because he understands that europe, in particular are relies on a 40 percent of its new energy needs. come from russia just about a week ago when medina putting order the bank to the central bank to work out those measures. we saw the energy prices, spikes, or something like 30 percent in europe, and this explains why in his beach, he was talking about warning against potential repercussions of is, this is a decision on the international market. a

u. s and u. k announced new sanctions against russian oligarchs, with the hopes of upping the pressure on vladimir putin and his inner circle. will look at the names that stand out, confiscating those big ticket assets. especially yachts is not always smooth sailing. just ask law enforcement in germany and could sanctions get even tighter. some countries say it's time to target russia's oil and gas exports, but not all allies agree of welcome to the show. i'm seeing beardsley in berlin. the u. s. is announced sanctions on an array of wealthy russians with close ties to vladimir putin government. 8 individuals face full blocking sanctions. while an additional 19 are subject to these restrictions. u. s. has also created a new task force designed to identify and seize the assets of those and other russian elite sanctioned earlier. president joe biden said the u. s. would come after their quote, ill gotten gains, children, and here's how whitehouse spokeswoman jen. saki described washington's goal. we

u. s. the e u and the u. k. have given loans to russian firms who can now no longer service them. it's unclear exactly how much banks have loaned to russian companies, but the experts of putting this number somewhere in the 10s of billions of yours. then there is of course, the potential for sovereign debt. default rushes central bank can't access its assets abroad on his own course to miss re payments to its creditors. now russia currently owes nearly $50000000000.00 to lenders in the west. payments are due within the next 2 weeks, one for a $100000000.00 in interest. another of over $2000000000.00 among the countries levying sanctions on russia is switzerland. it's an unprecedented step for the financial hub that prides itself on staying neutral, but it's still being urged to take further action. to reach is one of the world's most expensive places, and that's a no small part you to russian. oligarchs, happy to invest their money here. rudolph, elma, used to be a top banker at the venerable sewerage bank. you'll your spare to day. he is a critic of these financial institutions w
