also at this munich security conference, i would highlight another element as well. that is also high priority for those who organizes con, present, that is to have a dialogue between different regions of the world. in other words, to avoid having just a discussion among western lead us and you will have seen throughout the munich security conference in the past, but also in particular based version of the meaning security conference. all sorts of officials from africa, from asia, also from nation america left america doesn't necessarily pay an important role in the munich security conference. but in this particular case, it has. and i think from the organizers of the munich security conference, i think that dialogue basically means that these challenges that we've been talking about also have an impact beyond the united states and beyond europe. that they also have an impact in african countries and nation also. and that's in america with thomas will be keeping a close sign. i'm sure you will to dw security correspondent thomas spar well, as the landscape warns agai

nato members once again discussed the possibility at a conference in munich. after all , on one of the of the alliance from russia, bloomberg reports about this; in fact, they were dedicated to this numerous discussions within the framework of the conference and in the main program, on its margins, about how these statements should be perceived, what this could mean and what prospects such conversations have, let's talk with dmitry trenin, dmitry vitalievich, hello, can you hear me, yes , i hear you perfectly, anastasia, good afternoon, and we are all in our last days, weeks have already gone by. saw numerous statements coming from munich, in particular from zelensky, who actively continued to do what he has been doing in recent years, to scare his european partners of russia, who simply will not today, tomorrow, but will definitely attack one of the alliance member countries if heroic ukraine does not stop. on the other hand, the secretary general of the same nato said that he did not see a direct threat from russia. from your point. a lot, a lot was at stake in connection with the uk

is that munich was the site of the great appeasement ahead of world war ii, no coincidence munich hashosen to have this security conference for decades now. she said and you can quibble with the wording, there is certainly a mood within the country and on capitol hill, a debate among those who choose to isolate. isolationism is not new for americans to debate, it goes back to charles lindberg days, that was debate before pearl harbor. we have benefit of having two oceans that separate us from most of our enemies. she is making a case to domestic audience here, biden administration and many on capitol hill have been making the case for why aid to ukraine, military aid, weapons to ukraine are so important in terms of sending a message to vladamir putin he cannot erase land borderers and countries, he cannot gobble up a country like ukraine and change rules-based order. >> lawrence: respectfully she is phrasing it as binary choice and that is not what many members of congress are saying. they are saying we will talk about ukraine, we will talk about israel, can we put on the table securi

is that the munich security conferences legendary for taking place here. and you really do see just a long side opposition here. there's a cafe, for instance, where you have a delegates from all over the world's milling with each other, sitting down on the sofa and just chatting. i saw just tell you a that was the prime minister of the european country, talking to a former secretary general of nato. and there's been sort of informal conversations that go on all over the scene here in munich. and that will be some hopes. i think that that, that can be some progress in the very delicate diplomacy that is going on to try to find some way out of the current crisis in the middle east. so that's something to look ahead to very much this weekend. also one very interesting event taking place on saturday. that's a 3 way conversation between the foreign ministers of germany, india and the united states is, can be interesting to see, to what extent they put on a really kind of united front or to what extent, divisions between the west and india over issues like the w

this munich security conference just getting underway. i mean, there's no bigger stage, perhaps in the world when it comes to discussions about global security. and really the conversation was intended to focus on what is going on in ukraine the west support for ukraine and what it would mean if essentially a putin were to have his way in ukraine. and here we have the foremost critic of vladimir putin dead in a penal colony. now certainly the us is trying to figure out what happened here. we are awaiting comments for speech rather, by vice president kamala harris. that is to be followed by a question and answer session in just a few moments time. it is unclear right now whether she plans to address it, but it's hard to imagine eric and omar that she doesn't. this is certainly huge news here in munich. it is dominating the conversations in the hallways. in this this hotel behind me where all the meetings are taking place. we did hear from secretary antony blinken just moments ago. he's been having a series of meetings with various world le

about this about the munich conference on... it believes that we have the right to these assets, butis, they want whatever they want, they want to give them, as it were, and then we have to them, as they believe, to restore ukraine, and that is, they want to make sure that they remain white, fluffy for the rest of the world, that they allegedly did not take anything away from us, as you see this situation, aleksandrevich, good afternoon, well, about - legislative framework, this is of course loudly said, but in fact we are talking about the following: it means that on february 14, the eu council, it approved an addition to the regime of anti-russian economic sanctions, in fact, legal, so to speak, legal arguments were fabricated in quotes to be sent to ukraine profits from managing the blocked assets of the bank of russia, that is, at the core... this is the premise of the eu logic that unexpected income resulting from restrictive measures is supposedly not an integral part of our sovereign assets and is not subject to transfer to russia, that is, in other words, at the beginning of

this is the most abraham reporting here for munich on the munich security conference. 2024th on a very related theme, the global side is increasingly coming together to resist the western pressure. that was the message which emerged on seeing vividly as well as the new colonialism for the freedom of nations formed held here in moscow. officials for more than 50 nations, took part in the russians. foreign ministers, circular, rough, took the floor and did not hold back. he condemned what he called the siphoning of resources by the us, from your ticket. listen to this a yoko, natalie julia. this is the neo colonial divide of the world into those who consider themselves exceptional. and the rest, those who are given the role of doing the will of god's chosen ones. our choice in any situation is to negotiate in order to find a balance between the legitimate interest of the parties. and i emphasize precisely the legitimate interest. if their allies themselves prefer to continue their hopeless attempts to impose their ultimatums in the illusionary hope of holding onto the elusive instruments

now they are reporting for us from the munich security conference mission. thank you. now, rights groups in russia, say police, have the rest. it's more than $400.00 people at memorials for opposition leader alex said nevada. and they is this, at the age 47 at a remote pain accomplished, announced on friday, nevada, his allies have confirmed his death, but say, the author of t's refusing to release his body in the arctic darkness, like say, nevada lee's mother, ludmilla, is trying to find her son's body, she came to the remote prison where he died, only to be told his body had already been sent to the regional capital, nevada and his mother says the last time she saw him was in the prison. on monday. he was cheerful and full of energy and despite all the hardship didn't look like someone who was about to die with the lack of transparency around what caused nevada and the saw the death. his allies want the story it is to release his body immediately. and they have another message shuttle really put in, killed him. the whole world knows that it was the russian president

i understand that you also had the opportunity to observe the reaction of our western partners in munichsterday dmitry medvedev, the deputy head of the security council of the russian federation, stated that if russia is pushed to the borders of 1991, then russia can apply nuclear weapons, well , judging by... the post he made, one could draw the following conclusion, i will quote what medvedev said: the collapse of russia will have much more dire consequences than the results of a conventional, even a protracted war, because attempts to return russia to the borders of 1991 will lead , not only to one, to a global war with western countries and the use of the entire strategic arsenal of our state in kiev, berlin, london, washington. on all our beautiful, other beautiful historical places, long ago included in the flight targets of our nuclear triad. we see how putin used exactly two elements of threats and two signals to the world. the first is information about the murder of navalny and the second is mitry medvedev, if you don't treat him ironically, but he relays the messages generated

a small territory, they have nowhere to go, hunger is spreading, this topic was not discussed in munich, this topic was not discussed, in recent days israeli soldiers have shot several palestinians, who are already mad from hunger. over the past few decades , the intensity of military conflicts with such intensity there were no civilian casualties. another positive. the other day i met with representatives of iran, they were deeply outraged by israel’s sabotage on the two largest lines of the gas pipeline in the middle of winter for sure. would iran have brought it directly into israeli territory, no, but there is the liquidation of israeli scientists on israeli territory, which would have been carried out , it does not deal with this, iran is not a terrorist country. and how many iranian scientists were destroyed as a result of terrorist attacks, which did not even particularly hide who was behind these very many, very many, even who, and some kind of sanctions were introduced against the country that kills... and the world says: well, yes, okay, and the world says, wait a minute, we a

our reporter alex howell went to meet him in munich.r, bayern and england's all time leading goal—scorer. cheers, harry, good to see you again. good to see you, too. now settled in his new city, harry kane tells the bbc how happy he is with his start in germany. when i made the move, i was excited by it but of course a little bit nervous as well on how it was going to go. so i've been really proud with the way i've started. now i've got my wife and kids here since the new year. you know, they're settled in school, they're doing really well. got 2a goals to level with lewandowski and gerd muller, a couple of bayern munich legends. things couldn't be any better, could they? extremely proud to have those sort of records. it's not something i set out to do at the start, but once you hear about them and once people are talking about them, it of course means you're doing something really well. i'm hoping i can even improve from the first half of the season. for all his success on the pitch, harry kane cares as much about matters off it. how a

you were a participant in the munich security conference, the largest forum that took place not onlype, but in this, the whole world, and where people discussed the future, the present and the future. on the first day of this conference, it became known about navalny's assassination in russia. how did this story... and did it affect the discussion of what is happening in ukraine now, and what the world needs to do to get russia out of ukraine and for russia to be defeated? undoubtedly, it had an effect, but i think it did not have an effect in the way that was intended putin, that is, in principle, to block the topic of aid to ukraine, this did not happen, but... well, let's say this, it increased the degree of communication and the need for the russian federation to respond and to restrain the russian federation, but not so much that, for example, the same kanster scholz in his speech, quite a powerful speech, let's be honest, especially for chancellor scholz, still this fact did not allow him, for example, to say or announce the transfer of long-range, long-range taurus missiles to

meanwhile, in munich, they don’t seem to know how to contain russia in ukraine.iety, speeches become more and more reminiscent of self-hypnosis sessions. russia is weaker militarily, it is weaker economically. she is weaker diplomatically. in addition, europe got rid of its energy dependence on russia. just 2 days ago it became known that the uk economy has entered a technical recession. large-scale problems remain in the economy. war in europe, does scholz realize this? apparently, yes, in any case, today he spoke about the consensus among nato allies not to send their soldiers to ukraine. zelensky in munich also did not wait to agree to the supply of long-range taurus missiles. the chinese representative used the time given to him to advocate for finding a compromise in the conflict in ukraine. demonstrators also called for compromise, today gathered in the center of munich. they demand a ceasefire and an early start to negotiations. the conference participants are called incendiaries. the message is absolutely clear, as the security conference opens in munich,

also, obviously massive topics on the agenda and munich this year. can we expect any progress to be made on these issues? well, i think what you see in a violin and paris today is germany and fonts would say progress in terms of european countries. so they're basing up their support for ukraine in the long run with the security agreements that they've assigned with the other minister lensky. it just today and following on from the u. k, which side of similar document was with him just a few weeks ago. so i think every scene has some progress that already here in your but i think the united states is the big wild called that. of course people anxious to be in ukraine and the rest of europe watching what is going on. it can be in the us congress, as opposed to ukraine, has gone through the senate, but still has to get through the house of representatives. and they're pretty big questions over whether that would happen. so i think this is going to be a big discussion among american and european delegates talking to each other here. this thing is that th

at the center of the munich talks, america's top diplomat stress the importance of taking part. if you're not at the table in the international system, you're going to be on the menu to visit for me there was an optimism about the warn gauze in dire moments. we have it, i think there's an extraordinary opportunity for israel in the months ahead to actually once and for all and that cycle. and it's because there's some new facts that didn't exist before. when our efforts to make peace between israelis and palestinians, starting with the fact that virtually every our country now generally wants to integrate israel into the region to normalize relations if they haven't already done so to provide security, assurances and commitments. so that is real, can feel more safe and more secure. you train more. coming up on the 2nd anniversary was also on everyone's mind. the year of 2024 demands your response from everyone in the world. you would do not add no food and we'll manage to make the next year's catastrophic, catastrophic paying for all the nations as well. intelligence community a

also on the lead his mines in munich, delegates were discussing the concerns of some analysts. russia is winning and it's war against ukraine, dw brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena off the full my us general ben hodges if he says that assessment. i know i don't agree that the russians have the upper hand clearly at this point. as we begin or come to the end of the 2nd year of the, of the large scale invasion. neither side can knock out the other. the russians do not have the ability to finish off ukraine. ukraine does not have at this point, the ability to defeat russia. this war has been going on though 10 years, not 2 years. after 10 years, with every advantage, russia still only controls 18 percent of ukraine. the black sea fleet is losing in the black sea. the great russian air force is terrified or flying over ukraine. russia has lost half a 1000000 soldiers killed and wounded in thousands of armored vehicles. i think russia actually is in a very fragile state. we were here. well, they have 7 percent of their g, d, p is on defense, great. their g d p. their economy is the

so, the new season series, munich, yes, no.refore, petro poroshenko was not allowed to go to munich. ah, stephanchuk received a statement from the fifth president, saying, "give me an order, please sign the delegation, but stepanchuk did not sign it." why, asks petro poroshenko, did you not sign for me. and here was the answer. head of the main intelligence department kyrylo budanov informed the speaker of the parliament. this is poroshenko's direct speech, for some reason. speaker stefanchuk knows that immediately after crossing the ukraine-poland border, and especially in munich, i , that is, poroshenko, as the fifth president and leader of the opposition, is in mortal danger, and neither the state security department is capable of protecting me as a protected person , not the whole security system no, not the whole security system of germany, the only way to save poroshenko is not to release him, i'm just wondering, if such a serious force threatens poroshenko's life, that the whole system germany cannot protect him. and the

this is what the current munich conference showed, that munich did not take place in the format in which me remind you that initially the idea was this: there is a gromozian ineffective obsr, in which there is a lot of bureaucracy, decisions are difficult to make, now we will create some kind of effective forum where the east and west will quickly agree. europe, bypassing the entire bureaucracy, will solve any problems, find solutions, and the osce will then only prepare the relevant documents, that is, munich will be the head, and the osce will always be, let’s say, the acting office. now we see that this did not happen, munich has turned into something with what did it start with? nato forum. in fact, this has become such a political addition. to nato countries, what the so-called euro-atlantic partnership council used to do, in which it is no longer a conference between east-west europe, it is no longer a conference of dialogue, it is simply a political addition to the north atlantic alliance, which in itself already lowers the status of the munich conference . the second point: the c

you are there for the munich security conference. this will likely change a lot of those discussions before we get to that impact though, nic just give us a sense of where things stand this morning given that we are learning from the prison service, that alexey navalny has in fact died >> we don't have independent confirmation, but frankly, given how information function putin's russia is close to it, as you might expect, the prison service itself from the region where annexin-v one was incarcerated near the arctic circle, very tough conditions in colony number three, they're saying that he lost consciousness during a walk on the morning of february 16? doctors were unable to revive him. now, we're not hearing from his team confirmation as i say, and they are dependent on information from the prison service. and indeed, apparently his lawyer is traveling the harp, the city in the uml note, the nets kill autonomy is region where that prison is located. but given what we know about the fate of opposition figures in putin's russia, the

hanna, patience to you and success in the conversations at this difficult munich forum, hanna gubko, people's deputy of the previous convocation, she... was then the head of the verkhovna rada's committee on foreign affairs, and now she performs important horizontal diplomacy at such platforms. yes, it's yuriy ignat, the spokesman for the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. yury. groovy glory, congratulations mr. yuri, looking even at this and, at the statistics, we see that it was the most difficult to shoot down, i understood as always ballistics. we are simply looking at the number of downed and launched missiles, i.e. with ballistics, this is the one... when it does arrive and from what i understand, the kh59 also remains a dangerous missile for our air defense forces, or are we making the wrong conclusions from the point of view of the work results, they are a little wrong ballistics should simply not be difficult to shoot down, you should have something because you know what shot down ballistics in ukraine i think about your question and x59,

it is difficult to say about the arguments that were made in munich, but we do not rule them out, thearding the provision of taurus missiles by germany has also changed, it has become, let's say, not the same as it once was, now there are other issues, but it became more specific, that's what the munich security conference is, no doubt. president zelenskyi's speech was also important, and yesterday's ukrainian breakfast, at which they expressed their opinions, was also important. today's leaders of the western world, eh, the problem still lies in because the ukrainian conflict, the struggle , the aggression of the russian federation is not the only problem in today's world, but what is happening in the middle east, israel against the gas sector, uh, against hamas, this is not just worrying, it is disturbing, eh... tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people, in particular the arab population and muslims all over the world, eh, let's not forget about the problem created by the houthis, actually not the houthis, but their patrons from iran, this is a blow to the world economy, in p

we talked with you literally on friday, when you were there at munich security. conference, the securitynce is over, but actually we would like to understand what are the consequences and what are the results of this münchen security conference, we understand and know that this is not an event where one or other papers are signed, but rather serious one or other sentiments of our allies are heard there and not only our allies, but today i personally read some analysis about the munich security conference this year, and there is no such, you know, unequivocal answer to the fact that... everyone was focused on the issue of the war in ukraine, many politicians are now thinking about what will happen in the future, if donald trump comes to power in november, the elections will be held precisely in his favor. you, as a person who was there, what are your impressions after everything heard and after everything said? well , first of all, it is very good that europe finally understands that russian aggression against ukraine is a war in... europe and that the collision of the russian federation

this is most abraham reporting here for munich funds. the munich security conference, 2024. well, all the related fees, the global saw i see, is increasingly coming together to resist western pressure. that was the message emerging on seeing vividly of the freedom of nations for held here in law school with officials from more than 50 nations, taking part russian foreign minister, a circular for off took the floor to also condemn what he called the siphoning of resources by the us from europe, neil calling elderly julia, this is the neo colonial divide of the world into those who consider themselves exceptional and the rest, those who are given the role of doing the will of god's chosen ones. our choice in any situation is to negotiate in order to find a balance between the legitimate interest of the parties. and i emphasize precisely the legitimate interests voice. if their allies themselves prefer to continue their hopeless attempts to impose their ultimatums in the illusionary hope of holding onto the elusive instruments of neo colonial head, germany, that is their choice

also, obviously massive topics on the agenda and munich this year. can we expect any progress to be made on these issues? well, i think what you see in violin and paris today is germany in fonts. would say progress in terms of european countries sort of beefing up their support for ukraine in the long run with the security agreements that they've assigned with the minister lensky. it just today and following on from the u. k, which signed a similar document with with him just a few weeks ago. so i think every scene has some progress that already here in your but i think the united states is the big wildcard that enclose people anxious to be in ukraine in the rest of europe watching what is going on. it can be in the us congress as opposed to ukraine, has gone through the senate, but still has to get through the house of representatives and a pretty big questions over whether that would happen. so i think this is going to be a big discussion among american and european delegates talking to each other here. the thing is, is that the meaning security co

yeah. legacy is the view, the munich security conference, as pretty much waiting new going on. you had a power structures, marginalizing african and latin american countries. agency. i'm giving priority only to security threats relevant to western interests, while overlooking pressing issues like poverty in equality and the rubbing of national resources. critics also note that the conference often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing root causes with limited global south and for ones on policy, an insufficient attention to economic development, and they cannot make independence. critics also argue that the munich security conference, primarily, but a business leads policy makers, excluding voices from civil society and marginalized communities inside you or itself. is it conceivable that the munich security conference was, it's predominantly less than governmental and corporate composing. some would embrace since the critique from the global south it appears improper for that. and then the stablish moment who attends and had gemini reed. i'm conflict with red da

. >> let's get back out to silvia in munich.a, you have been talking to so many over the weekend. you have so much breaking news. how did they react? >> reporter: pno doubt that the russiasian invasion of ukraine the issue. they he wewere consumed with th death of alexi navalny on friday and then the withdrawal of troops on saturday. then president zelenskyy urging the united states and the european allies to do more and continue to support kyiv in this fight. under the surface, one concern is the role of the united states in the international security order. that, of course, after the comment from the former president donald trump saying he would not come to the rescue of nato allies if they were not spending 2% of gdp on defense. ultimately, those remarks raised fears that the united states might not be there for nato counterparts and ultimately there are concerns that if donald trump returns to the white house, he could withdrawal the united states from the nato defense alliance. you heard the comments from the former secreta

and the manager of germany's football champions goes from 0 to 0 as fire and munich, give thomas to follow the route. the end of its disappointing season the, i'm sarah kelly walked into the program that you has agreed on the 13th round of sanctions against russia. the move coming as the kremlin war against ukraine nears it's 2nd anniversary. and as you crime, lose his ground on the battlefields, its forces recently withdrew the eastern town of def. after months of heavy fighting, this on verified russian footage reports to show soldiers they are replacing the ukrainian flag with their own. or it also comes a bit increasing repression inside russia, where dissident deluxe. and along these depths last week, also play the part in the ears move to further punish moscow. lucio shilton is our process correspondence and gave us more details about the new sanctions on russia. yes, so there is an agreement in principle by the european union states investigators on the 13th package of sanctions against russia. and in this package, which has not yet been published. there supposedly nearly $200.00 pe

also, the annual security conference in munich was once an important intellectual venue. now it's a worthless talk shop and i'm joined by my usual guess george, send me while we in budapest, he's a pod cast where the guy goal, which can be found on youtube and locals and america as we have martin j. he is an award winning journalist by german prospect roles and effective means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. let's go start out with george in budapest. i'm the dennis of uh, mr. nevada. and they had such an early age in prison, personal i want to make sure to, with my guess here in with our audience that no person in cause incarcerated should die in prison, full stop. ok, full stop. ok. but predictably, the, the so called leader of the russian opposition, i don't want to be clear with everyone. that's how the west labeled mister and of all me. and that's not how he is seen, or was seen in russia. okay. and so i'm trying to set this up george here. here's what joe biden had to say, you know, take it for what it's worth of us present, joe biden. ack

most of what i saw in munich was a fanatical approach. in conversations you listen to less and less arguments and more and more counting, adding up and looking at how to defeat the enemy rather than actual analysis of what is happening in the world today or a longer term view of the future. of course, there's the odd western voice that also sometimes diverges from the usual group, saying could be a time for administer, said that you train cannot join nato while in conflict with russia, without it being, quote dangerous for everybody and leading to global war right now though, it seems like the whole idea of this security conference, ironically, is to make people think, to have them at least believe that's actually where things are headed. so they don't resist or object too much when they coffers their pride open and a ton of their tax money is don't straight into the work on me. now to goes where it was 70 civilians were killed on sunday night and is where he strikes on the central part of the own place that includes in a refugee camp. th

asudani attended the munich security conference. i was checking their talks and the positions they had in meeting with the heads of the countries, for example, in the meeting with kamla haris or david cameron. they repeatedly emphasized the end of the mission of the us-led international coalition forces in iraq, and in the opinion of the iraqi government , it is very serious about this, even the dialogue with the us military officials has started. rahman al-rahim, hello, i am at your service and with the program. various and the news conference announced that iraq does not need the presence of foreign forces and iraqi forces. they are fully trained and their numbers are good and they can defend iraq without the need of foreign forces. regarding whether iraq needs whether or not these forces are present, the number of iraqi forces is all the forces affiliated with the armed forces. the area of ​​iraq is more important than the residents of iraq , and now the army is fully prepared to be armed and ready to defend the country in additi

but, you know, the munich conference now is just, it's very jingle istic. it's, it seems extremely controlled. so they don't, they don't talk about security. this is what irritates me so much. the issue of security is never mentioned. you know, when you look at the, the, the, the big names, you know, mr. zalinski was there, we have the ball and his wife is there, very orchestrated here and they're not talking about the security situation in europe now. they're looking to bolster a failing regime and cube to batter against russia. again, luminaries in munich, presumably, experts in security, kamala harris is there, another experts that they, they don't call for a ceasefire in 1000 to you, you would say, but these are weights would have enough, you know, clout it and, and, and influence the say, well, we've talked about security here and you know, the security of the middle east, what we shouldn't have ceased, they can't even get there. they talk about everything. it seems like, except for security, george, today us the right the, the, the, what they mean by

i saw her the day before her husband was killed in munich. i was there with you, andrea, when she spoke to the group. it was electrifying. you saw how strong she is. she's the obvious candidate to lead this charge. but if she were on this show with us right now, you know what she would be talking about? she would be talking about what you all just were talking about, this aid bill to ukraine. putin is a killer. putin killed her husband, and every day he is killing people on ukrainian battlefield. if we want to stop that, if we want to fight evil, that's the word she would use, you have to do something. it's hard for her, she doesn't know what to do. but members of congress have something right in front of them that they can do. it's right there. they can help stop the killing of putin's war machine. i, too, met with members of congress in munich, and again they are self-selected like jonathan said. but this is a moment -- this is a historic moment. if they don't pass this, historians will write about them like the american firsters in 1940 wh
