jack pac jack, china is now supporting pollutants call that nato stop any further expansion. what kind of reaction has that prompted in brussels? well, i don't think we're gonna get any specific reaction from nato to be honest with you, rebecca. and that's because we've heard the very same things as we've seen this troop build up on the, on the russian border with ukraine. we have heard from nato saying over and over again, and they did submitted a letter outlining the nato position, which says that any country can become a nato member if they should want to. that's the, this is this open door policy that nato holds, which says that every sovereign country has a sovereign right to, to join the nato. any sort of military alliance that they want. should they wish to do that for their security and oversee that is of red line for the russians? they are very concerned that potentially ukraine and georgia would eventually it's not likely to happen anytime soon, but could potentially join the military alliance that they see as antagonistic. and that would bring that alliance right up to the russian border. so you think nato unlikely to respond publicly, but they are likely to be worried about this development. surely. all or do you think the view is in brussels, that china is just helping pohden out in a difficult situation. i think this was an expense. his statement, to be honest with you, we saw she champagne, the chinese president, his 1st meeting in about to just under 2 years with the russian president, president vladimir putin. this is a sort of big moment for the 2 of them. and as you seen, this tension grow between russia and the west over the troop build ups. but also those tensions with china as well. it's important to say there are no diplomatic missions from a number of countries, including the u. k, the u. s. australia and others to the beijing olympics at this time over human rights concerns. and china is pretty upset about that. so what we're seeing is sort of 2 the 2 countries to 2 big international players that are having big troubles with the west sort of come together as fabio was saying, this is a huge document there. it covers many, many things. agreements on nuclear, on i to space on dealing with biological waste, et cetera. i think it's, it is a strong statement. it's significant that these 2 countries, these 2 big global plays that are really at loggerheads with the west or coming out and trying to make this strong statement together. jack, thank here. database jack packs are from brussels. the german government has condemned moscow's decision to shut down the russian operations of this channel. toich develop germany's foreign ministry, said the decision would put a renewed strain on an already tense. german russian relationship authorities have closed down the dublin office in moscow revoked accreditations for all our journalists there. and band de, deputy broadcasts in russia as of today is being seen as retaliation after german media regulators banned the german language programming of russia state broadcast are take the day before because it doesn't have a broadcasting license for germany. deutsch village. moscow office has to close by order of the russian government. the decision came after germany's media regulators, band, german language programming of russia's state media broadcaster r t for operating without a german broadcasting license. d w's director general peter lim, book called the russian government's de
