i have said that there were a lot of news lines coming out of russia and ukraine this evening. 's attacks on grain facilities in odessa and other cities -- a suggestion they could treat commercial ships heading for ukrainian ports as potential targets. that prompted a sharp rise in grain prices on global markets. earlier this week, moscow pulled out of a deal that guaranteed safe passage for vessels carrying grain. joining now is caitlin welch, director of the global food and water security program at the center for strategic and international studies. hello to you. thank you for joining us. just tell us, from your perspective, why this is so important, why potentially this issue over grain could affect not just ukraine and russia but globally. >> this is incredibly important because the black sea grain initiative so far has allowed for the safe transport of ukrainian agricultural products through the black sea during the time of our hostilities since the initiative was put in place last july. we have had ukraine exported screen to 35 countries across three continents. over 1000

this is the only lawsuit in russia against ukraine. there are interstate services related to armed aggression by the russian federation. these are ukrainian lawsuits. these are our explanations of donetsk russia from the side of russia in the direction of ukraine. this was the only one that was made unclear, and the reaction is that of the european court of human rights, which said that it was not justified, but a position. thank you , margarita na sukurenko. the case of russia against ukraine at the european court of human rights, which is still ongoing for 21 of the 21st year. thank you for the conversation, later in this film we will talk about the situation in crimea . the evacuation of people is happening there, we must talk about it, write your questions in the comments under this broadcast . well, now let's talk about the help of western partners in ukraine. the officials were informed that this time arms will be provided in the amount of about 1.3 billion dollars, when exactly they will announce the provision of this assistance

yolka never spoke about the war in ukraine and never condemned the aggressor country of russia and silence is a sign of consent, soon our armed forces will ring ukraine from the invaders, and i will tell putin's peddlers this is what all of you woeful musicians should remember for the concerts, the occupiers should be held accountable, even though the kremlin's rubles were very fond of you and for you have been ashamed of the betrayal of ukraine for ages, join the creation of the collaborators program, send information about the kremlin traitors to us on facebook or to e-mail, we will send them together to track the russian ship. i am maria prus greetings washington supports the negotiations in saudi arabia regarding the participation of ukraine with the participation of representatives of about 30 countries of the world among the participants are representatives of the event as well as developing countries from asia of south america and africa this was reported by the spokesman of the state department of swords miller. he added that a high-ranking official of the white house would take pa

we would like to see ukraine, russia, both| like to see ukraine, russia, both contributing to this dealets, both contributing to the needs at this desperate time. i'm in port sudan today where we are, as the world food programme, trying to reach over 6 million people. anything that is impacting prices is going to impact the ability of the world food programme to meet the needs in places like sudan, ethiopia, somalia and elsewhere across the world.— ethiopia, somalia and elsewhere across the world. that's right. you are at the intersection _ across the world. that's right. you are at the intersection of - across the world. that's right. you are at the intersection of actually i are at the intersection of actually two big international stories there, the effects of the war in ukraine, but also its 100 days since that conflict in sudan has begun. is there any hope there for a resolution?— there any hope there for a resolution? we will have a resolution _ resolution? we will have a resolution if _ resolution? we will have a resolution if and _ resolution? we will have a resolution if and wh

as you see in this attack that russia launched in kharkiv, ukraine, last year. ld pose a danger to civilians for many years to come. russia and ukraine have used cluster munitions in this conflict. as we wait for the briefing to begin, let's turn to cnn's nada bashir in london. the issue here seems to be the western view is ukraine needs the munitions to break through the entrenched russian lines, multiple lines of defense, minefields, trenches, et cetera. how are ukrainian officials and now western officials making that case? >> reporter: well, look, this is something that has been under consideration by the biden administration for some time now. it's something that president zelenskyy has been pushing for and requesting for some time now. but this anticipated turnaround by the biden administration, it's really coming in response to the situation on the gruound. we know ukraine is in the midst of the weeks' long counteroffensive. it is, a, not going as quickly as western allies anticipated, and also the gains being made by the ukrainian armed forces simply aren

russia. what do you see as the endgame here? ukraine will not win this war and they will not get their territory back. it's an attritional war and russia has endless resources. china would never allow the geopolitical forces to turn in favor of nato and the eu. third, i just need to know and it might be more academic but what is a nation at the end of the day? it's a body of people that really can't support themselves financially and economically and fight their own wars or is a nation one we have to prop up on a continual basis? when does it stop? host: you put a lot out for our guest but thank you. guest: that's a lot of questions. i don't think the u.s. is an imperial power. it has engaged in various sorts of actions around the world but they haven't really engaged in what was -- and what russia was doing and that's annexing territory and making it a part of their country. that's one of the important differences between what is going on in russia and ukraine and what has been a strategy of 20 plus years of foreign engagement. whether

but the us, russia and ukraine have not. both russia and ukraine have been using them.ce orfrom a missile or dropped from an aircraft. that canister, in midair, shatters or comes apart and 88 — 120, depending on which weapon is used of these tiny little bomblets, cascade down to the ground. many of most of them explode on impact. militarily, it is a very useful but hideous weapon for dislodging troops, infantry who are in trenches for example or for attacking armoured formations. if you haven't got enough artillery then it is the next best thing. but the downside is that the good rate, the percentage which don't go off is pretty high. even one is bad enough, russia has been using these extensively in the ukraine war and they have a dud rate of 30—a0%. that means a huge amount of unexploded ordnance is left on farmland, worst case, on children's playgrounds but on battlefields that will eventually no longer be battlefields but they have to be cleared. that is why they are very contentious. earlier i spoke to daryl kimball, executive director at the arms control associati

will not get anything good from this the account of the conflict with ukraine between russiain the black sea, this is also a very dubious nuance because today, apart from ukraine , no one is physically ready to fight openly on the russian side, although there are confrontation zones between turkey and russia where armed conflicts occur, this is the procedure itself all series of libya we can talk about nagorno-karabakh or karabakh as we are experiencing and this should also be taken into account from the other side eh turkey is an important intermediary and it is an important partner for russia as well enough leverage to at least at this stage seek to change the position of the russian side also let's take into account that at the end of this month africa africa and other customers and grain and processing products of grain processing from ukraine should take place at the end of this month this is also an issue that is extremely important for africa itself, which will be raised in african letters and not only concerns the supply of grain from russia , but also from ukraine, s

major, before the great war in ukraine, predictions were made about the extent to which russia can fightuffer after it withdraws, what may be the casualties on that side, how many soldiers may die on that side, what will be critical for the russian federation, but we see that so far there is no limit to this, there are more than 200,000 dead and probably somewhere around 700,000 wounded in the russian federation . the russian federation has lost thousands of cars, hundreds of airplanes, helicopters. according to you, is there a limit somewhere? after which putin and russia will say everything we are getting out of ukraine we got everything we wanted from the ukrainians, it is meant that the ukrainians gave such an insult to the russians and that they will simply leave and never come here again i think that there is such a limit because we we understand that despite the weakness of his regime , putin still has the power to stop this invasion and withdraw his troops. many people they do not want to die in ukraine for russia, a lot of people are fleeing, and in order not to be mobilized, th

more now on the desicion by the us to supply cluster bombs to ukraine. russiadesperation and weakness. president biden said he acted because ukraine was running low on ammunition. cluster bombs are banned by many countries because of the threat they pose to civilians. earlier i spoke to daryl kimball, executive director at the arms control association. we are disappointed and disagree with president biden�*s decision to transfer these highly controversial, extremely dangerous weapons that pose additional risks to civilians in ukraine who are already under incredible duress. the decision, apparently, was based on the idea, as you said a moment ago, that ukraine is out of the munition that is used in artillery, those 155 millimetre shells, the biden administration argues that without the supply of these cluster munitions from the us stockpile which have not been using over 20 years by the us, ukraine is defenceless. i think that is a bit of hyperbole, though it is true that ukraine has been expending artillery and munitions at a very rapid rate, faster than it ca

see , putin sees he is talking about the fact that there is a war, there is a west, there is russia, and ukraine stands for a great west, and in fact the west is already in this war , why does the west not want to admit to itself that this war is already much wider than russia’s war with ukraine. so this is his rhetoric. putin did not attack any member of nato, that is, you cannot accept his words, which only have to be looked at directly at his actions, he did not attack, he did not attack any nato member. therefore, at the moment, he is attacking ukraine. ukraine will receive the support of the g7 countries in general and from the european union and that is why we should not listen to what people say, but look at what they are doing in the background. the third world war is approaching, the official wrote about this in his telegram, he is writing the preliminary results themselves, nato, everything , as we thought , to increase military aid to the kyiv regime by everything possible with missiles, cluster charges, airplanes, nothing else final the dead end of the third world is a fact, it is ge

the war in ukraine, russia. will the biden administration maintain support for -- attempt to isolate him diplomatically, while making it clear that they are not making a regime change. maintaining open channels in certain areas, we have seen president biden prioritize avoiding direct military contact , but thinking of the back-and-forth we have seen, whether systems should be provided ukraine, the debate over russian progression -- ukrainian progression to nato, do think instructing the right balance, what else is in need to balance these two tracts of deterrence of a major destabilizing global contact but not permitting promote -- but at the same time, not permitting who in -- not permitting putin to continue? >> providing ukraine what it needs and not provoking russia. i think the facts feet -- i think the facts speak for themselves. with all the initial weapons we agreed to and then the allies, the ukrainians, persuaded us to do so. had we done that sooner, ukraine would be in a better position now in pursuin

let's talk about ukraine and russia. you are _ headed. let's talk about ukraine and russia. n adviser to - headed. let's talk about ukraine and russia. you are an adviser to vitali i russia. you are an adviser to vitali klitschko, mayor of kyiv. how are you helping the image of ukraine in the world? ~ ., , , ., the world? when he was started, i was very concerned. _ the world? when he was started, i was very concerned. i _ the world? when he was started, i was very concerned. i was - the world? when he was started, i was very concerned. i was very - was very concerned. i was very concerned for ukraine, because i've been working in ukraine for many years, my wife is ukrainian, and i saw the beauty of ukrainian culture and history. buti saw the beauty of ukrainian culture and history. but i a political point of view, but by and large comedy people did not feel that they had an identity, it ukrainian identity. when the war broke out, suddenly ukraine found its identity, and so quite frankly, there's nothing i can do to help that image. that is something they did themselves, that

to defeat it, we won't help ukraine defeat russia. ll, what's next. whatever ukraine wants, let it be from the position i'm already waiting for the weekend, it's already waiting on weekend and not because it's a weekend and we because it's profitable and actually i want to be interested in the results well, i'm going further and you can't just accept and put up with the unmotivated use of force and this applies to the unmotivated use of force not only against ukraine but also he is too quiet for the pacific region because it destroys the basement of the international legal order . the head of the european commission, ursula von derlianska, said this during her visit to the philippines. she called the global geopolitical regime unstable because now authoritarian leaders back up their threats with actions, as it were - says ms. the fund of jerks in the case of russia's attack on ukraine , according to her, putin violated the charter of the united nations and the basic principles of international law with his actions, and says ms. the jer

it is a fundamentally different position that ukraine is in as compared with russia. ifference will these weapons make to ukraine on the ground? well, ukraine, as we have seen, has been able to advance on the battlefield, but only very slowly. and that's because of the minefields and the trenches that have been put in place by the russians as defensive measures to prevent the ukrainians from advancing. using these types of munitions will substitute for single shot artillery shells. they will cover more ground, and they will force the russians to have to withdraw their personnel to avoid these types of weapons, which will make it more feasible for the ukrainians to advance more quickly. there are many americans who, of course, support president biden�*s assisting ukraine in its efforts. one of the things ukraine has asked for is fighterjets. couldn't america have given fighterjets instead? could have and should have and still must do. there's a decision made that f—16s will go to ukraine. and a consortium of countries, including the uk and the netherlands and denmark, a

however, he also said that both countries, ukraine and russia, are using these weapons in this war. and he stressed that there is a difference. russia is using them to attack you create and ukraine is using them to defend its people and its territory. so even without taking a firm position on the question you had sold some back, made clear that there is a big difference between the 2 countries using them other external phenomena that in brussels for us. thank you very much. that's something you're watching. the news here as a reminder off the top story, we're following for you a deal with signals that could send cluster munitions to ukraine. white house officials say that decision is quote on that active consideration as part of a new with an age of practice. and that's it from the news team for now, i have an update for you at the top of the hour, of course. and who owns the beautiful and there for t t questions of ownership of antiquities raised and all the dunk film that's got out those 10, berlin to me and the new speed the it's all just practice at the national base in brooklyn

- make an exception in the case of russia's war on ukraine? there are hiuh russia's war on ukraine? are high thoughts _ russia's war on ukraine? there are high thoughts that _ russia's war on ukraine? there are high thoughts that south _ russia's war on ukraine? there are high thoughts that south korea - russia's war on ukraine? there are high thoughts that south korea can make an exception. it is already providing a lot of additional aid. there is talk of providing ambulances, de—mining equipment but thatis ambulances, de—mining equipment but that is of course slightly different. south korea has made a massive in the past year as a major arms provider and they show tremendous political diplomatic solidarity. last year, south korea outside a m billion dollar arms deal with poland. this is incredibly significant and a kind of game changer that ukraine could need because of course, there is this question of is there enough for ukraine to sustain the counteroffensive and to take back its territory from russia? south korea find itself to be in many ways a similar situation to that of ukr

free world they will lead the free world and all this help to ukraine is not purely charity to ukraine, russiandergone serious demilitarization and they will need at least 10 years to build their visa military power thanks to the efforts and struggle of ukraine i want to contact the bank near sado p volker and panakherson and you danylo, all the teams that support our opposition, that in the coming years, we have an important task to get practical, substantial results at the next nato meeting in washington. until this happens, it is absolutely necessary to provide ukraine with everything necessary as a ukrainian state then the korean army in order to fight against russian aggression and liberate our territories captured by russia to ensure lasting long-term peace in europe thank you very much i want to thank all of you gentlemen for the important work done on the date of the discussion for your thoughts are of great importance to the ukrainian audience as we try to understand and soberly realize the results of what nato just passed in vinnytsia, we will continue our partnership with nato, we a

now russia has a choose to ukraine of terrorism over the top on the bridge thinking russia was occupied crime the most cost as 2 people were killed. and that child injured when the bridge was target is by drones. the coach branch is a t supply room for russian forces in the war with ukraine. rushes rode to crimea damaged. once again, of this footage, released by moscow shows rushing investigates is picking through the debris after the traffic was suspended on monday morning, 2 people were reportedly killed in watch brushing officials 1st described as an emergency. but it was by the way of traffic was stopped in the crime in bridge following an emergency. the reasons are being established. law enforcement agencies on all relevant services from cross that region are working on site correct, constricted in 2015 after russia. next, the crimean peninsula, it's a vital supply line from moscow to access illegally held ukrainian territory. the bridge was 1st to talk in october, lost the keys late just suggested it was behind the attack. the never claimed responsibility outright must go his side

so the come take, what key to ukraine consisting russia's attack. and so this support full of ukraine for the nato aspirations is more of the same policy. but at the same time, all moscow will be probably very unhappy by the statement. code one is seen as a valuable ally, given the fact the 3rd one has refused to enforce western sanctions against russia . that is the very important for russia's economy. so i think this is more of the same of old one uh balancing between the 2 sides and also will help to address criticism the other ones be receiving over the fact that it is not enforcing sanctions about pressure is expect to the growth support of ukraine of the nato is c as an attempt to silence such criticism. i'm pressure. what about to to okay, so add one's position within a 2. does he hope to strengthen his own role? s p a. the one likes to see himself as one of the key players in nato, and this full flight supports of ukraine and say to aspirations will be seen as having him again, him seeking to take center stage. i think one will also be seen a

russia's blame ukraine. hundreds of people have rallied against the palestinian authority and the occupied west bank. demonstrations were organized by the islamic jihad faction after five of its members were detained. let's stay with our top story. what shows withdrawal from the black sea grain deal. eight agency said the decision will affect hundreds of millions of people. reporter: it has been weeks since any significant rainfall in eastern chad. now she can only wait for a change in the weather. >> the rain was better last year at this time. reporter: farmers said they continued to see less regulatory reform, resulting in crop losses. >> even when the rain comes, we lack the tools to cultivate crops. reporter: with each passing year, the area of cultivated land shrinks as climate change becomes more severe. agricultural output is also reduced. lake chad continues to shrink in size, from 25,000 square kilometers 50 years ago to just 1000 today. that jeopardizes the jobs of 13 million people. global supply

course, is that this is hollow, russel launched in special military operation and part to prevent ukraine. russia would allow a conclusion of the war that would lead to ukraine joining just seems not very likely. jo. k. j. a guy, i'm really glad. lee gave a excellent summation of all the most important points, and i agree with them. but i can't tell you, i mean, if you really take a step back, this is this nato's way of keeping them all. because out of all that, the bank, but it's been spill, no one's talking about an outcome of this conflict, and that is, since we're not talking about an outcome, they just want to keep pursuing it. your thoughts in san francisco, nato has a vested interest in keeping this going. us idea was to bleed russia and to cause as much damage. and so they're looking at protracted war. i absolutely agree that also on russia's and it has an interest in keeping the board going. if there is going to be any promise that to that, that ukraine would join a, at the conclusion of the war. so there's some deep contradictions built in thing. and i think the other piece that we have

on russia's navy. and ukraine just continued sending our ships. why on the same route to via the same procedures. and then uh, russia joined in again after a very short period of time. so something in that direction might be planned by ukraine. of course, the main question that to sold then would be the insurances, because insurance companies might withdraw from ensuring these ships. and uh, in that case, last time ukraine has guaranteed the insurance by its state budget. and uh, that might be the case. again, the ukraine has hinted at that they want to keep to be part of this scheme, which would of course, uh hopefully that's what your credit hopes and provide additional security guarantees. because of course, the, the idea is that made the rest of it would not attack these ships if turkey was on board this a scheme. and that's something that's uh, it seems that trying to figure out yet. but um, basically the, the idea is to quote rushes uh, withdrawal a bloss got it. we understand that russia launched overnight

the view is simple, what was interesting before the pentagon briefing it, russia is using them. ukrainejustified in using them as well. he made the point that the ones that russia are using have a much higher failure rate, about 50%. the ones ukraine would be getting from america, the failure rate is much lower. it's -- we haven't seen any evidence of that so far. it hasn't been disclosed to the media. these task have been taken, they've taken place over the few years to show that these munitions have this low failure rate. that does not stop it from being a controversial. you have more than 100 countries who are concerned about this. they have signed this treaty which ours the use and stockpiling of cluster munitions. america is confident that these munitions are justified. ukraine has to make sure that when the war is over that these munitions will be cleared up in the u.s. will assist in that. >> they talked about why they would be advantageous on the battlefield. it also comes down to the u.s.. they send a lot of shelves for the howitzers. this is a weapon that is going out of date.

russia will wage war forever. if you do not express that the entire territory of ukraine must be integral, they would have to too, russia would also understand that it is necessary to hold on to these territories in order to actually prevent this. i think that there are certain such shifts here and everything is going. i think it is in the right direction, although it must be said that there is. i would say the remnants of this mentality that arose in the era of obama, which, by the way, members of his administration are very obamaed administration continue to influence the foreign policy of america and this and this idea that russia has an escalating advantage in relation to ukraine that russia will be ready to make more efforts more to take steps to protect one's interests and one's vision in relation to ukraine than the western world. i think that this idea is still echoing a little in the administration. i think it has not moved, but still it is there somewhere. nuclear blackmail is the fear of the possible fallout of the nuclear countries of america and russia, and that's all a little bit, it's all to be cla

that many good people, not only in ukraine, are thinking about and solutions to which will definitely be found. well, after the attack on the crimean bridge , russiaicially withdrew from the grain agreement that allowed the export of ukrainian food from of black sea ports , despite the war, moscow has already informed turkey of its decision by ukraine , the un secretariat, at least this is what the kremlin said, russia has withdrawn its shipping safety guarantees and intends to close the maritime humanitarian corridor in the north-western waters of the black sea, the president of turkey, the regime of pardogan, said that he plans to talk to vladimir putin because he believes that he is interested in the humanitarian corridor continuing to work. zoryana stepanenko will continue to terminate the agreement . and said that the eu resolutely condemns it, assured that it is working to ensure food security for vulnerable segments of the world's population, and in this context mentioned the so-called lines of solidarity routes the export of ukrainian grain through the neighboring ukraine of the european union, however, he noted that they are not designed

it was created in a situation where ukraine was not a factor, which is very important that russia as the largest grain producer in the world and ukraine as one of the largest grain producers in the world, which became known as the grain storehouse of europe, and in the same year that the war in fact, continued 27 billion dollars of grain russia has exported a quarter of the grains together, and if this grain is not refined, which country signed an agreement that ukraine can refine its own grains from some crossings, that a new agreement will be made from tomorrow, and it is interesting to know that the only country that opposes america is the continuation of this agreement, and for this reason, the finger of blame has been pointed towards the united states for disrupting it, and the parents of the speaker of the russian duma announced just a few minutes ago that this agreement has become a simorgh in his opinion, and considering that from this point of view, in these periods russia uses grain transportation for terrorist activities he will no longer allow ukraine's grain to be transpo

ukraine. how is russia responding?'s right, earlier in then in russia had said that it had taken 700,000 children for safety reasons to russia but they have been accused of illegal forced deportation in which they've been put into essentially these sort of academic camps where they've been learning russian a.c. deepa and so forth. something the u.n. described as a war crime. the u.k. was issuing sanctions in response to that. the meeting is still ongoing. russia's response really has hit back. the quote on the spokesperson. he called the west polices of the kyiv terrorists. he confirmed that the niche active won't be expanded until the west needs its demands. russia says the food and fertilizer exports they have are being hampered by western sanctions such as sanctions on per, logistics and so forth. ukraine has also been resp responded -- responding, calli russia out over past incidents like the downing of the pla in ukraine, spreading conspiracy theories about thank you crane. and saying that it would be a much nicer

attacking and it was on the fence most of the time and it was russia's loss that it didn't advance, and ukraine's success that it was able to defend itself and to push the russians. and now that you-- i mean, going into the-- more difficult than being on the defense so now that's changed and for russia and vladimir putin it's enough to successfully defend. success has not been pushed back further for ukraine and the owners of demonstrating victory is on ukraine and i think that's sort of changes a little of the perception and leads to a situation from vladimir putin's point of view, and i think can be better into that of mr. putin than perhaps we all can. it's sort of intersent incentivizes to wait, to wait and to hope that any domestic turbulences will not cause this fall from power and incentivizes to wait because now holding out, it's enough of a victory they moment for russia and i was wondering, for the west, if that's sort of the challenge. we can't fight for ukraine, we can't be the one, we can't send more demining equipment, but it's ukraine that has to do the fighting. what else can we d

ukraine. the sooner we can and russia's aggression the sooner it ukraine can get its territory back and make its—up effort. i think if you take a large international programme to clean up areas where these musicians will have been used. one of the big issues is one of the big issues here is, of course, the feeling amongst nato allies of the united states. we heard rishi sunak talking about that a little earlier on. not many countries happy with america sending these weapons. is that going to cause issues at this nato meeting in lithuania this week? first, i wouldn't say that's quite the case. most countries in nato, as prime minister said, are parties to this convention and so are not in a position to provide these munitions themselves or to use them. that does not mean that they are opposing the us doing so because they see what russia has been doing in ukraine, including with its use of these types of weapons, and that needs to be stopped. and as far as this goes with the nato meeting, i don't think it's a significant issue for nato's at all. as you know, nato as an alliance is not doing much

i think ukraine is facing genocidal war crimes from russia. d to do anything we can to give ukraine the equipment they need in order to fight back and push the russians out of their territory. two wron . s russians out of their territory. two wrongs don't _ russians out of their territory. two wrongs don't make a right, us has criticised russian forces for sending lethal weaponry to ukraine, including cluster munitions. why is it ok for the us to do this? it including cluster munitions. why is it ok for the us to do this?- it ok for the us to do this? it was onl riaht it ok for the us to do this? it was only right to _ it ok for the us to do this? it was only right to the _ it ok for the us to do this? it was only right to the ukraine - it ok for the us to do this? it was only right to the ukraine to - it ok for the us to do this? it was only right to the ukraine to be - it ok for the us to do this? it was only right to the ukraine to be inl it ok for the us to do this? it was| only right to the ukraine to be in a position to defend itself. wha

platform for a meaningful dialogue, strongly condemn the actions of the russian federation in ukraine, call on russiareturn to compliance with its international obligations and completely withdraw its troops from ukraine. do you think they will all run now and during the short pause we will have, everyone will leave ukraine yeah, as they say, we will live - we'll see well, let's not delay a short pause and after that oksana and i will return to our marathon i came back i was sad only not combispasm go combispasm the power that tames your pain why am i here i have sensitive teeth eat ice cream pain cold air pain sweet pain advice from dentists lalalot sense ity what effectively reduces the sensitivity of the teeth if i had known lacquer sensiti before at all if i didn't have to come here lakalot sensiti reliable protection against pain hello, i am a denysulian, after the start of the audacious invasion of the russian troops into ukraine, i returned home from finland, where i used to play, i love my motherland and its people very much, and i am also conditionally proud of our soldiers. glory to ukraine

second, the united states is not providing weapons to ukraine to attack russia. we do not encourage attacks on russian territory from ukraine. the question of weapons systems has evolved as the conflict has evolved, those two fundamental precepts have been true from the start and will be true tomorrow. i cannot give you the specifics on that because -- the internal processes have their sanctity. he approved it after a unanimous recommendation from his national security team. >> you said nato is strong or than ever at this point. what does it say there are two nato members -- ability to join the alliance for more than a year now? >> the last nato ally to come into the alliance before finland was montenegro. it took something like 19 months for them to come in. i think a lot of people's perceptions about the process have been shaped by just how fast we moved to get sweden and finland ratified in the united states on a bipartisan basis, how fast finland came in and how it has only been a year since sweden saw membership -- sought membership. we are confident sweden w

ukraine vulnerable. what's he's ultimately saying is that russia has been using munitions and ukraine is thereforejustified washington. _ get on board in the end. nomia iqbal in washington, thank _ get on board in the end. nomia iqbal in washington, thank you _ get on board in the end. nomia iqbal in washington, thank you for - get on board in the end. nomia iqbal in washington, thank you for giving l in washington, thank you for giving us your analysis and we will very shortly be hearing from the pentagon, we are expecting a news conference in the next 30 minutes. so do stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. we had quite a mixed weather picture for friday, certainly for scotland and northern ireland. we started the day with rather grey and cloudy skies, like these. and the rain that we had that started on thursday lasted into the first part of friday morning, bringing about a third of a month's worth of rain in places, so it was really quite a wet spell of weather. even as that cleared, there were just one or two showers that followed through through the afternoon. but, generally, the weather at leas

ukraine. it did not presuppose russia around, you know, william green or wife and ukraine. uh, off the map suddenly which i never said that if we can send that the if you wanted to make your brain secure, what actually if you want, if you're going to be the minute drive and do not support, this is the exact quote. he didn't want to destroy your brain as a country. he probably means that he wants to destroy either your brain and reveal, even though he didn't go as far as saying that as for the future as for the perspective so, well, let me tell you that of course it's a sign of just the reason because the united states, why does this uh, pre keep it that uh, sending us made costs the web store the congress. there was no waiver, all the, all these pretty patient by the congress. so if we believe the washington post, for example, president bar them is in fact uh, some call may be even uh, making an extensive use of his presidential powers. to me, these shows that tonight the space has become and i don't want to go steve, just like the nazi of the corner just by the way you go
