so why does the foundation in the crimea people had free elections than the crimea? people are punished in violation of international convention for they are a political abuse for voting to bring back crimea to russia, to return crimea, to russia. that's what was happening. but even if we subscribe to this point of view that the west has, and if we subscribe to view to this, even the statement that was approved was the day before he actually, let's talk hypothetical. it said it was an amex ation that the crime is occupied, then what crimea people have to do with their problem. and why do they lose this ride to move freely around europe to get to get these? if the were and next, then no one, ask them for arms. people came, they capture and conquered the peninsula. why should people be punished? so whatever way you look at this, from our point of view that red flags is the actual reality or queue is ok if you should use this made up logic of key if and when the crimea people are being funny for nothing. so please, can we invite all the journalists who are here. we are

he's mentioned the when russia next crimea. however, it's true that over the last few months and especially this summer, you see a particularly hot summer. and i think this is because there are some political events looming ahead which russia does not like. on monday, the crimea platform, which is a summit conveyed by the ukranian president with western heads of states to assert ukraine's right on the crimea on peninsula the next day. ukraine would also be celebrating its independence day. and then finally, in default, you will have elections, general elections in russia. and if you look at the past 20 years of, of putting rule every time you have some elections looming ahead, he likes to do a beat up saber. busy rattling he likes to increase the pressure to wave the nationalistic flag. so i think this is what we are seeing now. and what was the risk of it getting worse than because a lot of planes flying in there as a nationalistic saber, rattling if someone makes a mistake. is there an appetite to take this any further? i cou

it's in crimea, which was illegally annexed by russia in 2014. that's the main reason for added tension in the black, c, j, your, or those somebody in june, british naval maneuvers unrelated to night. so that's a confrontation with russian forces. partition warship tell her story. i will continue to follow the we recognize and less than a week ago, a russian military commander said nate, so surveillance, including spy planes, had nearly triple since 2019. russia sees what nato calls him, homestead policing neighboring states as an escalating threat. romania is buying u. s. built at 16 to up graded samples, remaining for start growing and the big process of modernization. and we will not finish with the 16. we will continue to develop and to upgrade the remaining net force that says brinkman ship appears to increase a long sonnet as the danger of one small mistake causing more hostility. even open complex systems, just 0 constant remaining of a brief poca is a strategic strategy officer at rasmussen, global political consultancy firm. he says thes

don't forget that turkey was quite critical of the crimea annexation by russia because crimea's population is primarily turkish speaking. somehow, ukraine try to negotiate better options about nato membership in terms of -- with germany. germany and france were the main countries blocking succession. the you can't -- the ukrainians tried to negotiate this issue with nato but anna see any serious changes -- i don't see any serious changes in this issue. they increasingly understand that they have to rely on their own resources and to be seeing partners everywhere. and also be -- to be pro relations between the eastern european countries, poland, the baltic states. >> i want to ask you about another announcement made in these meetings. that was angela merkel promising to provide more than a billion dollars to help expand ukraine's for noble energy sector. how much might that soften the blow for ukraine if it was to lose those transit fees from russia in three years time? >> to some extent, yes but there is also other problems. not just simply money. there is not just the fees, there is the g

and then the crimea and the black, see the chinese were to do that in a major trade route. they're risking having a naval action, basically several of their economic lifeline. this is different from the in the case, this is very different from the ukranian, the black sea case where there isn't an existential threat to russia. ukraine in the black sea where that in the south china sea be contested. militarily, the economic consequences for china would be calamitous, because china that economy is export driven, they are completely dependent on middle eastern oil, and they would see that come to a screeching halt along with their economy. so the chinese are going to be far more circumspect and the chinese in gauging military naval conflict in the south to see for that reason. moreover, the chinese strategy is very different. what they're trying to do is where the little tiny islands i talked to my dad about an hour ago, they build the little tiny air fields which are militarily, particularly useful. they're trying to do is turn this in kind of a defacto chinese lake. little by

, you know, having said that, that china, whatever, open fire, you know, we have that incident on crimea between the, you know, between russia and the u. k. russia, according to the russian navy, russian defense ministry, opening, fire, fire and warning shots at, at the u. k. ship, do you, do you see anything like that potentially happening as a warning from china? no, the chinese play a different game and this is a very different environment than the credit and the crimea and the black see the chinese where to do that in a major trade route, they're risking having the naval action, basically several other economic lifeline. this is different from the in the case, this is very different from the ukranian black sea case where there isn't an existential threat to russia. ukraine in the black sea where that in the south china sea be contested militarily the economic consequences for china would be calamitous. because china, that economy is export driven, they're completely dependent on middle eastern oil, and they would see that come to a screeching halt along with their economy. so the chi

top of the list as russia's annexation of crimea and his support for the separatist war in eastern ukrainethe downing of a passenger plane is blamed on the russian side . there is also the poisoning of former russian spies on british soil and in the heart of berlin, a professional murder committed in broad daylight. in russia, opposition politician gunned down on the street and one year ago, and other putin critic, alexei navalny, lucky to survive an attempt on his life. all the while, a backdrop of escalating oppreion against oppositionroups and to top it off, cyber attacks aimed at the heart of german democracy and blamed on russian hackers. all this has led to multiple rounds of sanctions against russia. all along, angela merkel has kept trying to maintain a functioning relationship with vladimir putin spite tse problems. >> it is an unpleasant relationship. it is loaded with conflict but at the same time, this is simply the convention of berlin is that everythi that can be tried has to be tried with regards to dialogue and negotiations. >> with the controversy over the nord stream 2 ga

that is the rule of law, not shifting borders like russia has done in crimea and is attempting to do in ukraine partly. the question would be how that translates into policy where there is something like nordstrom to pop, the pipeline between -- nordstream pipeline between russia and europe. very much standing for continuity, olaf scholz, with all of that experience of finance minister, who can basically say that he helped bring on the international minimum tax rate of 15% in the g20, so an error of internationaux the, azul. anthony: you are watching dw news. still to come -- ♪ >> ♪ r-e-s-p-e-c-t find out what it means to me ♪ ♪ anthony: a new film on the challenges of aretha franklin, one of the most influential singers in music history. after months of social distancing, some of us have been left feeling isolated and looking for advice on how to cope. we found an expert, a self-proclaimed hermit. david has lived alone in the forest in new hampshire for decades. after being forced to leave his home, he says he has discovered the importance of friendship. >> david has lived in these

it is very difficult to win wars because the only successful war we have seen in recent history is crimeand the annexation of it. so the longer wars, intractable conflicts are very difficult to resolve. in those circumstances, the united states really needed to understand the local context of the fighting. you cannot use this one-size-fits-all strategy for every region that you engage in. that meant that even when the united states took a back row in their engagement with afghanistan, should they -- they should have found people that had more of an understanding and afghanistan. what happened is the united states brought people into power from the west. that means they did not know much about the culture, just like the united states administration didn't initially. so these same people that fled the country, including the president, including his national security advisor, including his head of administrative office, all of these people spent most of their lives abroad. they did not understand how to engage with afghans. so there is a shift with regards to what was the purpose of the unit

was that was about how china was better than russia, and this was before crimea. this was before there was a new in the domestic was new relations between the west and russia. and indeed, i mean, you know, the chinese course a peaceful rise of china. we are growing economically, but we're not going to invade anyone by willing to have actually, why would you mind buy went to give you a unit. that was the message from china. and what did they get to return? so, i mean, if the noted states are so concerned about from all of this live the bad ablation to the bad b r. i just based on, there was a creation around, isn't rolling in this. i mean, the whole idea of on call was be in the range between huge mainland china and the west. that's how this process. and then getting this, you do not the chinese, the west side. and the book about ideology here, talking about diplomacy. you know, unfortunately the united states is becoming an anti married for the chinese also. good governance is not based on democracy as it is understand in the west. it's, it's based on the choosing

recent past, russia claimed that it had to open fire on a british navy vessel that was operating near crimea. the british are quite clear it was in international waters. it was not breaking any international law. why did you do that? was it a message that russia, particularly when it comes to ukraine, is prepared to contemplate military action against western forces? the british navy, the british ship, a warship, it was in the territory of a russian federation without warning. which it has to be done one hour at least... besides, it did not observe the laws and rules of russia, which it is obliged to do, according to the maritime convention. absolutely. so, this was not an innocent passage, which is claimed by your government. the passage was not at all innocent because it was a demonstration, a special demonstration. that they are trying to demonstrate that it is ukrainian waters, which is not at all the fact of life. so, next time, we didn't say that we can fire or whatever it is, probably some parliamentarians did. but next time it will be much, much more difficult for them, because it is

i would say on its own people after crimea, where europe and union imposed sanctions and, and russia and both factions that made foot more expensive or some, some products that usually came from european union, unaccessible for, for, for russian people. so this was not the faction against european union and sanctions against against the russia people, but still there was impacts on, on the trades that we had a big part of re export because the geographically we close the big part of free export. when to, to russia, there was a decent share of agricultural production that went to russia. and we had to pay this. is that too expensive for us? but, you know, when you deal with the markets that are no rule of law, countries that are not stable regimes where you can be sure that your rights will be protected. that there is a court system that the functioning about. the private property is respected, then you might get higher returns. but the risks that you have usually much higher than in this boring huron, where, where we recommend our, our, our businesses and our, our companies to put pr

what has happened is the most important political events since the crimea annexation by russia. had to work closely by the u.s. i force a consensus with the common approach. the virtual meeting will discuss more about it. and next week the leaders will have a meeting. i think that is what i have say to you. i have 10 minutes of my time, and it could repeat once again of what was said. but it is important that i can count on your support in the days to come. >> thank you for your remarks in your statement. i will now open the floor to members, starting with remarks by the chair for relations with afghanistan. please keep it to three to four minutes. >> thank you, david. i'm sorry i will be only audio today with you, but it's better to pass the message then to abstain. your chair, dear colleagues, friends of afghanistan, i thank you all for our joint efforts assembling this meeting on the situation in afghanistan. once again, afghanistan is placed on top level agenda. the country undergoes major and dramatic changes, people are facing great uncertainty in various risks. during the

we have seen russia take crimea and parts of eastern ukraine.ou have seen iran step up if -- it's roxy warfare in the middle east. it is a very fragile situation and that is what he writes about. my own view in terms of your current caller is that we had more or less withdrawn from afghanistan. we were down to 2500 troops. we had had a military service casualty since february of 2020. this week was our biggest day of casualties for the american military since 2011. here henry kissinger wrote this week that sometimes we are in a political domestic situation where we either want complete victory are complete withdraw. and sometimes your insurance policy of being in with no casualties but being able to train and still fight a war on terror is a good way to go. now we have to think about what's next. i do think we were in a position where this longest war was over from the standpoint of combat casualties. i do agree with danielle that perhaps how it was executed wasn't appropriate to the situation, starting with the top administration negotiating wi

capacity to unify the world on issues ranging from iran's aggression in the region to russia against the crimea for years. the simple matter is that after the international community spent an enormous amount of blood and treasure to prevent the establishment of an slack state in syria because it knew this would produce everything from a refugee flow to a graft sink for every in the plan met allowed afghanistan. produce refugee flow and allow a place for every militant who wishes to come to learn the trade of terrorism, a place to travel. and the world has also just shown that it will allow this to happen, unlike syria, where we marshalled an international coalition, the coalition has just collapsed in afghanistan. and i don't think there is much chance of the coalition of the willing being reformed in the future after the u.s. decision. >> bret: tom, the president's words you can't be some place forever with u.s. forces does this mean we are going to change our posture in south korea? >> i don't know, when the president says we can't be somewhere forever, what people should understand too reall
