k. s. washington says it has already sent more than $3000000000.00 worth in 8 to ukraine and find it has requested the congressional approval of another $33000000000.00. however, the us president maintains his country. it doesn't want to get directly involved in ukraine and is not fighting a proxy war against russia. despite the disturbing rhetoric coming of the criminal facts are playing for everybody to see. we're not attacking russia. we're helping ukraine defend itself against russian aggression. i think is more of a reflection of the truth, but of their failure. and so instead of saying that the, the ukrainians, equipped with some capability and resist russian forces, are they doing this, they've got to say, tell their people, the united states and all of nato is engaged in taking out russian troops. so it shouldn't come as a surprise to any one that he is hiding behind in the rhetoric of peace. because as we saw in iraq, as we saw in study, i'm gonna stand at the united states likes to play an honest broker when in fact it has been nothing but an honest broker. i think that's pretty obvious

i think we will now say continue to live in washington to region 14 months to form that whole u. s. new k america, us trades. we used to be part of the multi environment where the whole straightened goes on and the son won't be in that. so i think we have to be quite on place. you know, what about what business from them to motivate? she actually or looks for liquids, johnston. we should go any in front of the americans. it's all about sharing songs to russia. last to move russia actually supporting the sun during the hedge. i think the bars johnson is much more about making this phone showed him his arm, for example, towards any one who sent us may change or to double check on the group so much. just don't cross the line because who on down the that the on the bridge, you live restaurants in history. we seem to have lifelong this picture of media and speech. this was often jemison 75. that sounds more close if he doesn't have a good shot. but it's, it just stinks, walking through that republic morally wrong, and some lovers have recently another decent turn out and supportive julian song

washington dc with the very latest. so the u. k. president, the crating, sorry, president announces high profile diplomatic visit by these us officials, but what's the u. s saying about as well? so it's no surprise the washington has said no comment. why is that not surprising? well, it's typical that when a senior us official makes a visit to a war zone out of security reasons. typically the public doesn't find out about it until during or sometimes, not even until after the visit has concluded. we know that this is going to be the 1st time that such high ranking us officials have visited ukraine since the beginning of the war. and it is going to be a very symbolic visit. we are having to secretary members who will be there in here on orthodox easter, and this is the secretary of state at the u. s. and the secretary of defense zelinski had said that he still wants to extend an invitation to us president joe biden. but despite you know, the u. k prime minister being there in person despite other presidents having visited, well the u. s. assessment is that it's still too dangerous to send by an artist and vice president common le harris. and so the visit

it's like people, washington, a space station, but you have to deal with the absence of light. the light is cute. said sure. com. mm hm. professor k u t s t i at i wanna say plus hyundai, the coffee them in. go get the nivia, math, looking math extended, yesenia, music, delaware rattles. gonna say, hinting that a sandy throw out with the hampton that i sent the cellphone with you. i remember high data thought the impression, think that there is he done. did a commit comerica me ever is, was he is a play in front of the embassy. there's always an activist mitchell. in 1998 gotham mass chief, investigating judge in madrid, ordered the arrest of ex dictator penal chad who was currently in london. mm . thus he applied the principle of international jurisdiction, the idea behind it. some crimes are so serious that they affect all of humanity and can be prosecuted by any judge regardless of where they were committed. peanuts arrest was a warning to dictators and leaders responsible for genocides quindrel impunity and that the laws of their own country crimes against humanity could now be prosecuted by any prosecutor or judge in the world. the

s. assistant secretary of defense. it was was via skype from washington dc loans . could you be back with us? so the u. k. estimates that russia's last of 815000 soldiers, 2000 the armored vehicles. how robust are these estimates? and if true, can russia sustained these losses as the war drags on? i think they are much more correct. and then the, what the russians are saying actually happened on because they had very poor logistics. ah, the soldiers had terrible morale. they thought it would just be a cakewalk. they'd walk in and take over kiev, they be greeted as liberators. because the people in ukraine really want it to be, you know, part of russia. we know for a fact even the russians have admitted 7 generals have been killed. so if you had 7 generals killed, the chances are you are close to 20000 troops killed or are killed or wounded. at lawrence, we saw this initial russian moved to take the capital key, but that failed. now russia says it's focusing its operations in dumbass, but this is a much slower and more deliberate military advance are we like them to see many more russian losses here? well

washington has rejected yvonne's k demand that it's revolutionary gone to court, be removed from a u. s. list of terrorist groups negotiations in vienna to potentially restore the nuclear deal have been tracking on for a year. yvonne's foreign ministry has the keys to us. officials have purposely stalling the talks. we had from a rainy and political analyst, christopher halle. he says, washington is actually waging a policy of escalation with turan. i believe that this is one of the red lines that foreign ministry has spoken about. and the listing of the lucian garden court, the i r b as the terrorist organization by the us department of state, with an escalation in an already from situation after the united states, unilaterally withdrew from the j, u, p. o a, the 2015 nuclear agreement. iranian foreign ministry has made it clear during the negotiation that they don't they don't want to cross any of the red line. and those include the economic aspects, but also the listing of the i r, which was that under the trump administration. so i think it will have profound effect on the ongoing n

k. of the nato u. s. western approach. the us representative about the un reiner accuse the russian army of committing war crimes. does it look like washington has a solid enough case to make such serious accusations? no, i'm sorry. it's hard to serious matter to me about it but. but the united states are really, really, really last nation. would even talk about something like this. and i mean the hypocrisy of off it is just earth abysmal. and apart from this, this whole issue with boucher reminds me very, very strongly of the a pre arranged massacre of russia. russia was in fact the trigger. ready to stop and justify the the view as natal war against. ready to the risk of jewish lobby against serbia. and it was saying the same thing and turned it before anybody could even investigate. it was declared, war serves. i mean, just within, basically you have the same 6, same thing with or had the same thing, but 911, etc. the international financial, the, the ruined trust in smoking here the, the bodies were met just discovered already when you, what must have been the search later or later when it was far too late to do anything against it. and

s. and u. k. were providing weapons to ukraine even before the beginning of the conflict. in many more western states have begun sending lethal aid to kiev in the last 2 months. washington has even approved a bill to use is lendlease act in world war 2 era program to lend arms and other supplies to ukraine. g 7 member, italy has also pledged to provide legal aid with the prime minister, taking a tough line against moscow. but growing numbers of italians are angry at their premier, seeing the sending of lethal laid as counter productive to ending the conflict in italy. the hash tag not in my name is trending on twitter with italians and other europeans urging their governments to stop sending weapons to ukraine. renee morgan's ratty, i am very against ascending a weapon. it's no quip ins, do not increase v as in negotiation approaches, there are poles that say that the majority of italians want a serious peace negotiation and not the shipment of our good united in the idea of sending weapons as a political decision. and i don't think it will help the ukrainian population from a social point of view. i disagree. we are fighting a war by sending weapons. when we understand

s. and u. k. were providing weapons to ukraine even before the beginning of the conflict. many more western states have begun sending lethal aid to cave. in the last 2 months. washington has even approved a bill to use it that lend lease act to program last deployed in world war 2, to lend arms and other supplies to ukraine. g 7 member. italy has also pledged to provide legal aid with the prime minister taking a tough line on moscow. but growing numbers of italians are angry at their premier, seeing the sending of lethal laid as counterproductive to ending the conflict review name, morgan threat. i am very against the sending of weapons weapons do not increase peace and negotiation approaches. there are poles that say that the majority of italians, wonder serious piece negotiation and not the shipment of arms could united in the idea of sending weapons as a political decision. and i don't think it will help the ukrainian population from a social point of view. i disagree, we are fighting a war by sending weapons. we understand that this does not work out, but simply that it's an awful idea that would only serve to escalate tensions. it can only lead to higher violence

k. won't be telling india what to do. she was talking about the increase and the imports of russian oil to india. we also had the u. s. state department spokesperson ned prize. he was saying that washington is not looking to india, asking india to change its relationship with moscow that they would urge continue to urge all their partners and allies to use whatever influence they have to call for an end to, you know, the russian aggression and the war but they were much harsher words from the u. s. sam, deputy national security adviser for international economics. de leon sing. he was in new delhi on thursday, and he's seen as one of the chief architects of the u. s. sanctions against russia . and he said that they would be very severe consequences for anyone who tries to circumvent the us sanctions on russian, russian banks. and also that he described russia as being the very junior partner in the china, russia relationship. and that anyone would be foolish to think that russia would come running to india's aid if there were any war. and he said, if china reached the border between india and china again or elizabeth met, thanks very much. and if that update that needs any, thank you. me
