what we may potentially take away from this is something that antony blinking said after his and his meeting with sir gala for avi said that had been a frank and full discussion and honest and sober ad debates and that blows their foreign ministers. both senior diplomats would take that away to their respective presidents, and we may well see some more discussion it that much higher level in the very near future. while we're reporting there now outside of those discussions with antony blink in ukraine was also the subject of talks between laboratory and the u. k. his u. k counterpart elizabeth trust and a meeting was so eagerly anticipated. see that the russian foreign minister was forced to literally ordered the press out of the room with may be generous expectations they were justified. because before arriving in stock, homeless trust was in estonia, where she posed for journalists on top of the tank. and for many, it turn channel. the spirit of the 4000000 k prime minister, margaret thatcher, who has snapped in a similar pose in germany 35 years ago, commenting on the photo trust

this was the 1st face to face meeting between antony blinkin, and sir guy laughed rav since joe biden became u. s. president. the u. s. secretary of state used the encounter to warn russia of the serious consequences, including sanctions, if it invades ukraine. c. it's now on russia to deescalate the current tensions by reversing the recent true build up. returning forces to normal, his time positions, and refraining from further intimidation and attempts to destabilize ukraine were watching the situation very closely, were in close contact and coordination with our allies. russian back separatists in east new crane had been patrolling these trenches for more than 7 years after russia annexed crimea. now a build up of russian troops along the border. more than $90000.00 says the government in kiev is fueling face of a russian invasion. across the field, ukrainian force is a holding exercises. russia says ukraine is being provocative, deploying more than half its army, a 125000 people to the east. russia dismisses as inflammatory. any suggestions, it's preparing to attack. the kremlin

that's the message i think that antony blinking is trying to extend to countries in southeast asia. and this is just the 1st stop as he mentioned. how much kat shop is, the by the administration playing. when it comes to the step back, the trump administration took for multilateralism. the reason that you said by others rather than not at all, but i think that's a fair bit of tat trouble that the biden administration has to do. now. the bottom ministration has said it wants to deepen it ties in the region, and some analysts have said that one way for the us to do that really is to show that it has an economic strategy, particularly show that it has long term economic commitment to countries in the region, and we don't have any details of that. those details still need to be flashed out. but any commitment to and in terms of the economy is going to be made a little bit more difficult, especially after the u. s. under president donald trump pulled out of a regional trade deal in 2007, and any efforts for the biden administration to rejoined that trade deal is not going to be easy. giv

this is the statement from the, the us secretary of state, when antony, blinking within the room with gala for all it was a far more diplomatic situation and he was much more keen to let talking take precedence. we are deeply concerned by evidence that rushes made plans for further significant aggression against ukraine. and so we call on russia to respect ukraine sovereignty in charge all of them charity to de escalate. reverse the recent trip build up takes 2 to tango. and if, if our russian friends are prepared to implement their commitments undermines and are ukrainian friends are as well, we will fully support that. and that is the best way to avert renewed crisis in, in ukraine. i did ask the us secretary of state why washington was increasing tensions in europe. my pushing the story of an invasion of ukraine onto the blank and declining to answer the question, but was a very cordial meeting between the 2 chief diplomats of russia and the united states said gallop rove referred to antony, blinking his tony as he spoke about them. getting down to talks in negotiations, what we al
