decision, many international media groups have already suspended their reporting, including the b, b, c. u. s. broadcast or cnn is also adding its operations in russia. the kremlin has already pulled the plug on domestic stations, critical of the regime correspondent marva smear nova from the independent broadcast to rain has already left the country. she says journalists are in a state of panic. mia has on my mac, williams on my list. several of my colleagues journalists have called me some even cried and asked how they can leave the country immediately. anybody trying to access social media networks like facebook or twitter and russia is now met with error messages. the websites have been shut down, jeremy's, a r d and z d f, a recording about events in russia, ukraine, from other countries. russia's largest state owned airline. our floor has announced it will halt all international flights except to beller, rou, starting march. 8th. the move comes after the russian aviation agency warned that russian planes least from foreign companies, could be impounded under international sanctions. tha

so ram, a lot of this is familiar. russia says they're c u. s. as that blaming each other for different things, but this is an act of war zone. so i guess my question is, is there a real threat here? well, according to our la guns can then as people's republic, according to a russia, there is a potential thread, there is a potential provocation in place. of course, a key of has a long denied designing a biological weapons. so the pentagon says that it's all a speculation regarding its involvement in these programs a, not just an ukraine, but in all of our former us, it's the soviet state. they said it's all russia, this information. meanwhile, according to russia's defense minister, few ukraine is indeed preparing biological weapons are provocation. i'm with the use of chemical weapons. it warned that at least 80 tons of ammonia were delivered to a city near harder gulf. it's very close to the russian border. the ministry of defense of russia, they also sites the witness accounts by and vacuum ease from the area that the national guard of ukraine

his address to the bond and stag came a day after speech, c, u. s. congress. lynette says it does not so good. we are fighting for our lives and for our freedom. it is not the berlin wall. it is the wall between having freedom and not having freedom in europe with every bomb and every decision not made that could have helped us. this wall is getting bigger. we asked about what ukraine can do to join nato and getting security guarantees. and the answer we received is that it isn't on the table for now. you question whether ukraine should join the, you know, yes for some, this is politics, but for us it is souls for the new was unwinnable. but nato secretary general again, stoughton burg visiting berlin again warned against a fully fledged war between the alliance and russia. nato has a responsibility to prevent this conflict from escalating further. dock would be even more dangerous and would cause more suffering. death on destruction. this is person putin's war. he must stop the war. withdraw his forces and engage in the book in diplomacy in good fa

c, u. s. is also pushing china to join and he, russian sanctions. although president, she reported he refused to be cursed in a friday course, with his american counterpart. washington had also warned not to provide material support to russia, and american lawmakers are now seeking to sanction chinese financial institutions, helping russia conduct transactions. after some russian banks with bond on the international swift financial payment system that the messenger, unless gregory clark says the west is using the ukraine crisis to provoke china and disruptive, warm relations with russia is china. i will put it in interest 1st, but his interest at the moment, i think, in cooperation with russia because it's quite clear that it will not get much corporation from america. the worse is trying very hard to use the ukraine issue to, i should say, provoke china or to find some something guilty in the chinese response. but for so far they have not had much success. and i don't think they'll have much success in the future. and you probe, such as the us, has

and the c u. s. mainstream media just scrambled. it continued trying to sweep the sweepers under the rug. is quite a big moment. quite a big revelation about the nature of discourse in the united states. yeah, we went to see what ramifications come from caleb. caleb, thanks for that. are us corresponding kill him open? now, western media, let's clearly do not agree with president putin plain. that's one of the main reasons behind the ukraine. conflict was to be not to find a country bay say, it's absurd since president zelinski is jewish, but they may have forgotten that one of the cranes main jewish community leaders in the country e core column. my ski is also a sponsor of armed neo nazi malicious break and all that done for us. this our policy or susan says he wants to de, not to fi ukraine, but the west claims. this is a false flag because with an official say, how do you d not if i a country who's president is jewish. when you hear vladimir fulton talk about the ukrainian government as being full of neo nazis. as somebody who i

played c, u. s. would defend its nato allies, but again said that us forces would not get involved in the fighting americans of us. endless with im. glue croft is with me in the studio to break things down. william, you're watching the speech with me. it wasn't long before bought in teddy's attention to ye crying and very much addressing the room as the commander in chief . yeah, it was definitely that the top line and had to be right. i mean, this is a huge war that's looking to up and european security looking to up and a lot of, of the way we've known life to be for at least the last 30 years. and the post cold war thought was 80 years since world war 2. so this is a huge, huge issue that joe biden, of course, has to confront and has been confronted the last ah, many weeks and months. and he had some tough talk to say to vladimir boot, and i think we have a quick, a clip of, of him having a message to the rest. president foods lead his attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he

he is an assistant director at the eurasia center of the atlantic council that c u. s think tank. welcome to your thank you for being with us on inside story. alexei in key. let me start with you. if you could tell us about the situation on the ground. ah, as this conflict enters its 4th week, are we seeing a change in russia strategy since the initial invasion? well, 1st of all, i would like to, well, basically your correspondent, the describe the situation quite correctly. so rational forces stole, they exhausted, they had demoralized. and in this situation, what groceries doing, they're starting to kill, to kill civilians, to shell civilian objects. and there's many evidence also a lot of the do a lot of for those, they do not spear maternity houses for children, hospitals, and other places they are blocking. give occasional corridors they are preventing humanitarian corner boys to the besieged scene is like hurricane or muddy hooper. and actually russians were saying that they are going to liberate russian speakers . they turned rational speaking cities like car q and money wi

u. s. assistance to ukraine as a pass to sign that. and this is coming out of ukraine's liter earlier dress c u. s . congress asking for more support to fight off russia. joe biden described the ukranian. nita voted me semanski as convincing. saying that he made a significant speech. the u. s. president saying, america would continue to have ukraine's back in the fight against russia. lead spring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hawk it. kimberly present biden announcing you us security assistance to ukraine. yes, but stopping short of what lot of mirrors zelinski asked for specifically just to hours ago in front of the u. s. congress in a very emotional plea, in fact, a direct challenge to the u. s. president. it has been at least initially, outright rejected by the u. s. president. and given the delay of the speech by the u. s. president, there was some speculation that this was ah plea that was under serious consideration, but it appears for now that this has again been rejected. the call for a no flies of the call for these a fighter jets that are referred to as megs. that have been

but the civil east can go towards russia as well, because many chinese, c u. s. using the same kind of pressure tactics against it will terms of taiwan and john, etc. so it's becoming an evolve, evolve you to a complex situation. as i said, the only real way of doing this is not to criticize both sides, but you try to get them to the table. ukrainians from all walks of life have joined the fighting against russia. tiana novel is a widowed mother of to her husband was killed during fighting in the 8th back in 2014. she was a journalist and then a member of parliament. now she's serving in an anti tank unit which will see who you want to be, who that's just to show you why she was in again. you duncan, when we saw tanks appearing, and we literally ran to our position, i ran to my operator. see, well, it's not really a scene, but rather a case because i was to repair. what did i switch it on and see tanks on my screen . they just entered within the range of my missile. i took aim and destroyed the 1st tank. interestingly though, the rocket was flying for quite some

sympathies going that way, but the symbol east can go towards russia as well because many chinese c u. s. using the same kind of pressure tactics against it in terms of taiwan sion, john, etc. so it's becoming an evolve, evolve you to a complex situation. as i said, the only real way of doing this is not to criticize both sides, but to try to get them to the table. russia and ukraine of called for foreign volunteers to join their sides. one of those answering the call is a college student from new york who joined ukrainian forces and had a narrow escape on the front line near the capital. keith? yeah, i got some cut a yeah, i got some glass on my face as no big deal. reds got a nice little head injury. i said, my name's alexis and sheila, i was working as a combat medic. and we and our vehicle hit a mine and flew up. so i ended up here unfortunately. but luckily my friends are okay. one of one of the gentleman in the car was really severely injured, but they're taking care of him upstairs and he's gonna make it so yeah, we were going to do a mission today. we were trying to go to a, you

some of these going that way, but the civil east can go towards russia as well because many chinese c u. s. i was using the same kind of pressure tactics against it in terms of taiwan sion, john, etc. so it's becoming an evolve, evolve you to a complex situation. as i said, the only real way of doing this is not to criticize both sides, but to try to get them to the table. ok, thank you. fi analysis in a tang in senior international fellow at the time. her institute speaking professor well in a bed to keep the spirits as volunteers, soldiers up a wedding to placing tea in some unusual circumstances among cannibals. ah, here comes the bride. with a military gold, a moment of levity for one unit responsible for guarding the capitol keys. the units part of the territorial defense and is made up of volunteer soldiers. war often reduces humans to basics, water, food, shelter, survival law. but this territorial defense unit is celebrating the stuff that makes life worth living ah, the proud couple hold our wedding gift as they get their pictures taken measures, of course we are the happiest. oh,

c. u. s. has announced it'll rash, another $200000000.00 worth of weaponry to ukraine. it builds on a significant shipments it sent in a laid up to the wall and on says, fabulous. congress approved an additional $13600000000.00 in emergency ain't for ukraine. allen fisher in washington, dc explains what weapons ukrainians thereafter. yes, president joe biden is at camp david this we can, but we are told he is keeping across all developments in ukraine and he approved the release of these weapons. now the ukrainians have been asking for javelin anti tank and stinger anti aircraft missiles. we expect them to be in this batch that is released along with a significant amount of small arms at these will come from existing u. s. military stock, which means that they don't have to wait for the manufacturer to deliver them and then be moved on to ukraine. this, these can go almost immediately. and this is the 3rd time in 3 months that the u. s . military has done that part of $1200000000.00 and military aid that the u. s. has provided since january 2021. that's important, of co

u. s. should get alternative supplies. my can reports from washington d. c. the u. s. motorist is already feeling the pain. the price of gas is now at its highest level since the economic crash in 2008. and this could rise even further should the us decide to impose sanctions on russian oil. no decision has been made at this point by the president about an been an import, a ban on importing oil from russia. and those discussions are ongoing internally and also with our counterparts and partners in europe and around the world. i would note that what the president is most focused on is ensuring we are continuing to take steps to deliver punishing economic consequences on certain well taken all action necessary to limit the impact prices at the gas time. the u. s. as the world's largest oil producer, but is also the largest consumer and remains dependent, unimportant, foreign oil. 8 percent of oil imported in the us comes from russia and the bided administration is seeking ways to make up. the shortfall should impose sanctions. the white house confirmed a high level tea

u. s. military where logical activities they have around the world, $336.00, a laboratories. this number comes from the information provided by the u. s. a. to the conference of parties of the b c w, the u. s. senate, they are full transparency if they believe the rental information is fake. oh, they can do is to provide us with relevant data provides clarification so that the international community community can draw a conclusion, but self. thank you mister president. as good as i would like to find the representative of china and to give the for, to brazil, nor i let or i, so we just heard there from the permanent ramps then dave of china to the united nations security council. calling basically for more investigation and research into the issue. china of course has taken a rather cautious stance to this her whole issue and the, the war in ukraine. it has not supported the western efforts, obviously, to pursue sanctions and punish russia for what the west seas as a russian unjustified wire. russian invasion of ukraine chinese have seen as a very on characterize it in a very different light and manner. this guy will be alright, what we'll do now. let's listen into what the us

c. so oliver u. s. secretary of state antony blank and has said that he will consult with poland and nato allies on the potential of providing chats to ukraine. so is it that the united states isn't entirely closing the door on this idea? of the door is open. we're here for sure. and there's the political will, of course, to deliver those jobs. but it remains a tricky task in it's a fine line. they are work, they are walking on right now. so poland says, yes, ukraine can have those mixed. those russian made fighter jets. but they certainly don't want to be held accountable for mingling in the war between russia and ukraine. so their offer was to bring those fighter jets to you as air force base ramstein on german soil, which again would then imply to other natal members. so the u. s of course saying no, we're not interested in that either. so some kind of a blame game that's going on. nobody wants to be the scapegoat in the end and nobody wants to be drawn into a wider conflict. and so that is really t

wasn't a, the kind of speech that you had from all of sholtes over the weekend that represented a c change in u. s. policy. now, many have been comparing the ukraine, russia conflict to the cold war. that this is returning us to the cold war era. is that what you're seeing, tyson? is that how you read it? or do you see the beginning of a different world order altogether? taking shape? i don't think it's, it's returned to the cold war for a couple of reasons. one, russia is not a superpower. russia's extremely diminished power. it doesn't have the kind of ideological throw weight. it doesn't have the economic throw away that the soviet union have and it doesn't have the, the geopolitical reach that the soviet union have had. but i would also hook dispute that it's a cold war. we're talking about a hot, we're in european territory. so this is a, something that's happening right now. all paradigms don't really fit. as you mentioned, we're looking at a new order within europe. and what we're seeing slowly, and this is, is, is quite sad for the russian people who don't necessarily know or support what

c. the u. s. government is condemning the united arab emirates for welcoming the syrian liter boshra law side to both of dubey and dubai. on friday, the u. s. has long tried to isolate boshra law, sought in his government because of their handling of the civil war, which has been raging in that country since 2011, tens of thousands of people have been killed. more than 3000000 people have been driven out of their homeland and at least a 150000 people have been disappeared during the conflict is started as part of the arab spring. now there are some countries including the ui and saudi arabia, which have been trying to re welcome bosher, all asada and syria, back into the fold of middle eastern countries. one of the leaders in the united arab emirates set on friday that syria was a critical part of the region and should be encouraged to take part in regional affairs. however, the u. s. which has placed sanctions on boshra law side and members of his family as well as on members of his government.

those are two things that could cost them their careers here at s c u you know, we're at school.where trying to pass chemistry and be with our friends and have fun and you know, make mistakes, but instead we're having to worry about that validity and are the possible possibility of our college career being put in jeopardy. santa clara university students harlow, glenn and jackson druker recent transfers to the jesuit school of just under 10,000. both are active. she and a sorority and he in sports, and both could have their enrollment canceled for refusing to comply with campus covid vaccination requirements. they're suing stu over its covid vaccination policy, claiming negligence, breach of contract and infliction of emotional distress for adding a vaccination deadline next week. after the school had collected tuition for the current semester . glenn sites health concerns after receiving the first dose within about a couple days, 48 hours ish. of getting the first shot ended up in the er. i have two medical exemptions from two different of my two different gps of mine and the sc

pictures from the inside of the main meeting room, which is at nato headquarters in brussels in c, a. u. s. president joe biden there and who has derived lastly, the leaders have just had what's known as the family photograph, which was taken outside, in fact, just behind president biden. don't if you can see him as a u. s. secretary of state antony blinking. clearly there and also you k, m a foreign secretary, las trus who was there in a red jacket. all is leaders meeting together to discuss the situation in ukraine, bring each other up to date with where they stand on the the situation. but to as both emron and our diplomatic correspondent james base was saying earlier on, not a tremendous amount of hope within the ukraine that these talks which are going to be followed by talks amongst the e you members and also g salmon members are actually going to lead to anything significantly tangible or greater than what is being offered at the moment. well, let me bring you up to dave's given what a man has told us about the situation on the ground as well as our correspondent robin bye. let me j

u. s. would get alternative supplies. my kind of reports from washington d. c. the u. s. motorist is already feeling the pain. the price of gas is now at its highest level since the economic crash in 2008. and this could rise even further, should the us decide to impose sanctions on russian oil? no decision has been made at this point by the president about an been an import, a ban on importing oil from russia. and those discussions are ongoing internally and also with our counterparts and partners in europe and around the world. i would know that what the present is most focused on is ensuring we are continuing to take steps to deliver punishing economic consequences on certain well taking all action necessary to limit the impact prices at the gas time b, u. s. as the world's largest oil producer, but is also the largest consumer and remains dependent, unimportant, foreign oil. 8 percent of oil imported into the us comes from russia and divided administration is seeking ways to make up. the thoughtful should impose sanctions. the white house confirmed a high level team

blue ah, peace talks between ukraine and russia give a boost to markets indexes in europe and the u. s. c. gains and oil continues its retreat, but with bombs still falling in ukraine. our investors are a little too optimistic about the chances for a deal. we'll talk to our correspondent in new york. the war continues to plague supply chains. meanwhile, we'll look at the market for fertilizer. a major export for both russia and bell roost. that isn't arriving where it's desperately needed. and one of china's largest cities under covert lockdown. what do the new measures in shanghai mean for the country's domestic economy and its global trade? i'm see from beardsley. welcome to the show. markets around the world have taken heart from what appeared to be positive developments in the war on ukraine. leading indexes in frankfort, london, and new york all seen gains tuesday. after early signs of progress in peace talks between ukraine and russia. oil prices also continued their recent retreat prices for brent crude. at one point falling below $100.00 a barrel on russia or else koreans court in

u. s. i see that the u. s. is not serious. seeing that the u. s. c is not going through its obligations. and also, when we talk to the experts here, the seat, you reynolds, are cautious regarding the worthington statement because they do not want a job for those days. they have strategic relations with, with russia as well, in case of put in blame, putting a blame on russia that could affect the relations, went with russia. so you run here once the main tracks your 1st, they want all the removal of all the sections regarding nuclear deal and non nuclear the issues including the missile program and also the human rights violations as well. they also wants to verification verification. they mean that the guarantee is not to be given and written on the on paper, but also they want to see the practical implementation of them are on the ground as well. and also they're asking us to give the guarantee to run in case of a deal that this, the a will go beyond bygone and solution and it's going to be binding for the next administration as well. all the technical talks, the form of talks are done,

so much out of february was what there are you can meet full scale invasion to ukrainian c. s u v. your mean and already thousands of lives for loss and millions of fever lost their houses. so easy to see, you know people are temporarily misplaced, the internal it on their own country and they also moved outside the romania, portland shack. slovakia and dozens of other countries are people at the moment are spread around the whole world seeking safety leave to go in the same way like previously you are seeking safety here. this is not just a military operation as moscow tells me, this is a full scale, cruel war to exterminate our great people, our children, our families, our country, our seat is our religious, our call treat every thing that makes ukrainian people ukrainians on this. all of these that the russian army is destroying nothing while the whole world is watching it. this is the comparison of our history and of your history of our strive for our survival. on the 2nd world ward look what kremlin is saying, just listen to their words. is like the even are using the terminol

long beach state at u c. s b. we got to check it out. we're tied up in 64. the winner will go to the big west flannel and here's your game winner. that's the end of the game, baby, and you've got it a buzzer beater. the three to win, they will face either hawaii or fullerton state. they're playing tonight in the finale for a big invite to the big dance, and we're going to see a lot of that this weekend as the conference championships, wind up and selection sunday. is sunday. so here we go check this out. i mean, i will never know that feeling just to hit the three buzzer. amazing time. okay sure. alright ready? thank you so much. and thank you for joining us here on the 11 o'clock news or continue. our news continues in the morning with ktvu mornings. i'm two with ktvu mornings. i'm two weekends at seven. a.m. i might -(indistinct conversations, glass clinking) -claire: speech! speech! okay, okay, okay. settle down. um... it's hard to believe i'm 50. a-a-as of today, i'm middle-aged. what's he been the last 10 years? delusional. he thinks he's a millennial,

c. the regulatory body in the u. s. that can block these type of mergers had 30 days to either oppose it or block it. they didn't. that was a surprise to many because the ac d c head, alina khan, is a vocal opponent, or as a vocal critic, i should say, of, of amazon. and at the moment the, at the season, a weird position because it's board which as 5 members is, is sort of deadlock. it's got 2 democrats and to republicans and one a seat that hasn't been filled yet. and they've been trying to fill it since october. so to block or oppose this deal, they would need to have a majority vote on that board that can't yet yet happen. so, so far it looks like the deals going ahead theoretically, when that seats build, there could be an objection filed and they could try to block it after it's gone through. and i just think it might be a very challenging thing to do just because of, it's difficult to argue, i think at least that amazon acquiring m g m really changes the game in her. so it, us, i've worked 12 hours a day. my salary

s c c. in september 2021. the u. s. securities and exchange commission charged 3 companies linked to gore with the legal offerings of stock and digital assets. the company's neither admitted nor denied the findings, but agreed to pay more than a half a $1000000000.00 to settle the action is a great scheme for a scan. it took advantage of allowed people and all it really hurts. now people realize that they really cannot believe he anyway anymore, or did not respond to our multiple requests for an interview or comment. it's clear he is a busy man. 2 months after the fcc ruling, he started promoting a new crypto currency. he's also battling a raft of law suits. in february, a judge ordered him to pay a $134000000.00 fine for moving his jot out of the united states in violation of a court order or file for bankruptcy. shortly after i do the more since being kicked out of the whistle blow movement drunk, the home has been trying to rebuild his life. he says he's given up fighting, but democracy. what's in that? and i will

c. allen. so u. s. officials are saying north korea's latest launches are a serious escalation. what more can you tell us? well clearly the united states is concerned if north korea was developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, because that would do exactly what it says in the 10, which means that american cities would suddenly become within target of any in north korean weapons. that is why they're watching. what is going on here? live increase surveillance in the yellow sea area. they're also telling their course as dallas in the area, japan and south korea that their support is absolutely iron clad. no. the us seems to think that at the north koreans are using the idea of them developing a space program to test these icbc ems. because of course, north korea has said in the past, every country has the right to a space program and they are no different. however, the us thinks that it's simply just the cover and the of called, or north korea to stop development and proliferation. all these weapons and they've called on the international community as well, to band together

today's, in contravention of a near norms and obligations to adopted by the u. s. c. 9202017th off january foreign minister love rule of again mentioned this to then again into view of love her off. again, he is raising this question in the context of ukraine into view off a good, a good kara sin to an inflammation agency in december to enter a key. and we constantly mentioned this a talk this because we understood what was going on. that is not just some threat. this is a suit it. if it comes outside, it is unable to take it under control. the whole humanity understands this. the next think it's to the use of russia to control the safety of okay, we're going to need that media briefing that was the russian foreign ministry, likes women, maria, speaking to the media, the in moscow about the version of the ukraine. russia rule, just a couple of updates from her briefing that she says, the russian foreign military says the operations never aimed to include overthrowing ukraine's government. that wasn't, that wasn't and isn't the intention that the operations in ukraine

to the hypocrisy of swash and they go closing his eyes to the actions of his adopted country, the u. s. c. list as we mock the 19th anniversary of washington's invasion of iraq where hundreds of thousands lost their lives on his way to blevins report. it has been 19 years since the u, as in his allies invaded iraq. b anniversary comes at a time when the architects of the iraq war and the politicians who supported the u . s. occupation of the country in the years to follow are now expressing their concern over the well being of civilians in ukraine. ah, years war, intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. after all the destruction of the past 3 weeks, i find it difficult to conclude that the russians are doing otherwise. ah, but those concerns who are nowhere to be found back in 2003 when the bush administration launch it's quest for weapons of mass destruction. it launched an invasion into a rock widget proudly described as shock and awe. shutting the country down would entail both the physical destruction of appropriate infrastructure and the shut down in control of the flow of a

we have heard that the u. s. c has ceased to renew oil, cargo ships and iranian side that this is not a good will. and it potentially called you port ice to deal with the experts here when you're talking to them to run next, versus that russia once to keep you run out of the global oil market, particularly when there are that much global centers over russia regarding it's, we're on own own ukraine, so totes are not collapsing, but we can see that they go into effect. they got into a very delicate, delicate face. halls of closed, entered manor stands presidential election with 9 candidates competing for the job . the president who's been empowered since 2007, called for the vote last month after announcing his resignation. local media say his son is expected to win. many international observers have raised concerns about the legitimacy of the vote. some foreign news websites are blocked by the government. ah, hell are you watching? al jazeera, these, the stories that we're following this, our russian forces are cont

it's a u. s. c. u summit meeting at the g 7 summit meeting was the president going to poland not only to meet with troops, but to see the refugee crisis firsthand and to hear what needs to be done to deal with that massive crisis. it's important to maintain western unity in the face of the war. and there might be some 1st indications that the russians are regrouping now, the syndication that they might focus on the don't boss. but of course, it's our by our hard to see when you see the shelling that was just announced. how this will continue. i'm speaking of unity. i mean, you were so you recently wrote, the nato allies have offered what you describe as an impressive display of unity in response to the invasion. but how much pressure is this going to come under as this war goes on? well, i think we have to understand what we're really facing here, win lose or draw for putin east central europe is going to remain an area of persistent confrontation with russia. and it will be emblematic of a broader er
