so in romania, basically, you have 99 percent chance is the state of wood and get away with the waters stage. 9 years old growth forests have barely changed since the end the ice age, their variable wonderland. the time is passed by. ah, there be this example. so how nature processes shape an ecosystem that it's on touched by human. although for us have a sick factor, the composition in the mix of old trees and young trees create more of habit that shelter for a very reach biodiversity over half of the population of best in romania, about 30 percent off the wall population. we have links, we have wildcats, if forest are of infinite value, be they think value the inspirational value of the speech or value of these for us . they are fragile and they need to be protected. the biggest player in remain is forestry. business is rome, silver which is stained and controls about 48 percent of remain used woodlands. it has been played with scandals for deal that they've all of the funny thing that contract either when they sell the product, which is wood or when they buy services. so i brought u

for more. nato has already stationed up to 4000 troops in romania, 900 of them. are you asked service members with additional forces on their way? the americans are doubling the number of soldiers here. but many among whom he has political elite would like to see an even large in nato contingent in the country, resembling those already in place in the baltic states and poland. senator t. tooth color ziann says he believes strengthening nato's posture here would benefit all allies, liaison need to deter the russian law. the sushi asked me in military terms and to car, sorry they thought the east of like of natal that me saw so much stronger military presence off of the allies on the royalty, tory on board there at joan ferdinand. the crew is gearing up for new missions. we don't talk politics, they say we're here to do our job, whatever it takes. and a reminder, now the top story we're following for you, sorry, is in hong kong, are opposing their top this restriction. since the start of the coven, i teen pandemic. the latest figures show infections doubling in 24

and this is something romania has been asking for for a long time. and now with the build up right there in, on the border with ukraine, nato and the allies are deciding it's time to put those forces there. all right, so this is not necessarily for you crimes benefit. this is more sending a signal to, to russia that even if you make it to ukraine thus far and no further. well, as you've said, ukraine is not a nato member and therefore doesn't have any guarantee of mutual defense. even though allies and the u. s. government have spoken out very strongly to moscow that they better not think about it, but yet nato's job is to defend the allied territory. and so that's what these forces are therefore, and as you heard, secretary general stilton berg says, there are thousands more who would be ready as a rapid response, in case the conflict were to spill into nato's territory. but this is really about trying to convince the kremlin that this is, is, you know, a really bad idea and putting the troops and tanks on these borders are not in high enough number

and 1000 will be re positioned to romania, the u. s. a. nate who already have tens of thousands of troops, of course, in europe. russia's president vladimir putin. he says, the west is trying to lure him into a war with ukraine and insist that moscow's concerns about nature's expansion is, would have been ignored. russia has a mass, tens of thousands of soldiers on its border with ukraine. u. k prime minister boris johnson has said, any invasion would be a disastrous mess. calculation is due to hold a phone cool with putin. later on when we focused on the evolving situation in europe and russia are actually moving through. are you on kirby and bella luce? a secretary said, united states stands shouldered shoulder with our nato allies. the current situation demands that we reinforce the deterrent and defensive posture on nato's eastern flank. president biden has been clear that the united states will respond to the growing threat to europe's security and stability. our commitment to nato article 5 and collective defense remains iron clad

is any more than a 1000 troops from germany to romania to beef up nato's eastern european defenses. romania has been investing heavily in defense as well as modernizing its armed forces. d. w.

more. nato has already stationed up to 4000 troops in romania, 900 of them. are you as service members with additional forces on their way? the americans are doubling the number of soldiers here, but many among whom he has political lead would like to see and even large in nato contingent in the country resembling those already in place in the baltic states and poland. senator t to his color, ziann says he believed strengthening nato's posture here would benefit all allies, laser need to deter the russian law. a sushi asked me in military terms and to call . sorry they love the east, off like of natal that me. it's also a much stronger military process off of the allies on the royalty, tory on board there at joan ferdinand. the crew is gearing up for new missions. we don't talk politics, they say we're here to do our job, whatever it takes. i. let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, the international court of justice, his rude that uganda must pay $325000000.00 us dollars in reparations to the democratic re

s. army bases in germany to romania. a further, 2000 will be sent from the us to germany and poland. they are expected to arrive later this suite. all this announcement is, in addition to the $8500.00 us troops put on alert last month. and the pentagon says the person now will not fight in ukraine, but are being sent to reassure nato allies as concerns grow over conflict with russia. the current situation demands that we reinforce the deterrent and defensive posture on nato's eastern flank. president biden has been clear that the united states will respond to the growing threat to europe's security and stability. our commitment to nato article 5 and collective defense remains iron clad. as part of this commitment and to be prepared for a range of contingencies, the united states will soon move additional forces to romania, poland and germany are at. we have team coverage for you did use. terry schultz is in brussels, where nato is headquartered, and oliver salad is in a washington oliver want to go to you 1st. why this d

all sent jets military vehicles to romania to for the bolster. the alliances, eastern flank, dominant cane joyce is live now from the bureau in berlin. dom hi there. how significant is this? well, it's one more sign of the dissemination, the resolve of the german government to be a central part of nato, wherever possible. and given that nato is dispatching its forces to bolster to buttress the eastern flank as it has been put by an stratton bag and others. then this is what germany can do. it is not the only thing that the german government is doing. we know also that to naval vessels are going to be on station one in the mediterranean, and one is being sent to the baltic sea. clearly as a visible sign for the baltic states, u r e u member states, but also nay. so member states that germany takes as far as it can, its responsibility, the nato as seriously as possible. remember, there would be those potentially, he would say that germany is coming late to this because for many years now, germany has failed to meet its obligations under the whale s

"the new york times" are saying that they are hoping the government will release popular documents and we are prepared to go through a lawsuit if necessary. they've been requesting the document since last year we were told they couldn't be delivered 2023 even the freedom of information request should be provided within 20 days. spokesperson said only this. >> when it comes to requests, we process these as expeditiously as we can. this department is committed to wielding the highest standards of conduct in office. t

for more. nato has already stationed up to 4000 troops in romania, 900 of them. are you asked service members with additional forces on their way? the americans are doubling the number of soldiers here on board. there are a jell ferdinand. the crew is gearing up for new missions. we don't talk politics. they say we're here to do our job. whatever it takes, the dentist and economy has almost completely collapsed the taliban to control. many of the country's pers, community, especially the children, are suffering from lack of food. i shall weeks hardy, i had nothing to eat. her mother could no longer breast her and the family couldn't afford to buy milk. 14 days ago, they brought her to this hospital and cobble up with just because she was much worse before him. she's fed milk every hour and she can keep it down to the bus because the family situation has severely deteriorated in the past few months. then as the prices have skyrocketed, i have 3 sons and the daughter we were able to buy food. but recent developments of hitches massively, especially the evaluation o

in romania, what are they going to be doing? in germany, at the command headquarters, what are their days going to look like once they are all settled in? mr. kirby: yes, the stryker squadron, i think they're leaving germany today. it's going to take them some days to get to romania. i think there's some very small leading elements as you might expect. when the army moves, they always move some leading elements. so, there's a there's some small elements already in romania preparing for the rest to come. they'll be operating with our romanian counterparts. i don't have anything more detailed than that. i'd point you to eucom to really speak to that. but remember, they are really going to reassure and be able to provide additional capability in romania. i would also remind you, there is already so, this thousand 900. almost doubles what we already had in romania. nothing really significant changes in terms of the 82nd airborne, they continue to flow in, in tranches. so, of the 1,700, that we said we're going, less than half are --

what will have to poland and romania as you said, but not to ukraine. do you think this concern and a possibility that russia may make a move in another european country? well, they're going to nato members. they're not going to ukraine. ukraine is not in ne, it of there was no defense packed that would obligate the united states to defend ukraine and biden has said, we're not going to war with russia over ukraine. no combat troops in the country. the situation in nato's eastern flank is very different countries in the baltic region. there are, they are threatened, they're close to russia. and so what we're seeing here is simply an effort to take a step to create more military capability. we're, we're still at very, very much lower levels that we saw during the war. but if russia does move in to ukraine, if it occupies the country, i think you'll see a sizable build up. that puts significant nato capability and u. s. capability in eastern europe, ukraine, foreign minister has said is still believes in diplomacy, and no one can say with certainty what ru

the 1,000 striker troops from germany to romania, i think they're there now. there's nothing else that i'm tracking that's going to be moving, no other additional forces put on pteo from last week so i think we're kind of where we are right now. [inaudible question] >> i don't have -- i don't have estimates on that. again, everything kind of flows from whatever his decision is. and as we've said before, he could do something of a small scale, and of a temporary nature. perhaps in the eastern part in dambas. you're hearing a lot of russian state media talk about ukrainian aggressions in the dambas. or he could do something much bigger and if he did something much bigger, in terms of trying to occupy more of ukraine for a longer period of time, then clearly one would have to expect that he would do the planning for what that occupation would look like. and as we know from our own experience, if you're intending to hold territory, you have to make sure you have plenty of sustainment capability to do that, to include ample force, but again, we don't know exactly w

to romania as well. the netherlands, his considering deploying fighter aircraft to bulgaria. so too is spain. while the u. k made a dispatch troops to estonia and danish fighter jets have already arrived in lithuania, compared to russia's nato presence in the region is still relatively small. but as the kremlin continues, it spilled up around ukraine, nato, strengthening its defense posture. according to secretary generals told him back the alliance has he been considering deploying new battle groups? in addition to the for multinational battalions already in place. in estonia, lard, fia, lithuanian, poland. the for battle groups were deployed in response to russia's annexation of crimea in 2014 natal members argued then that they cannot ignore russia, breaking international rules and undermining peace and stability. and now nato is confronted again with what they describe as aggressive behavior and its members are responding with reinforcements. putin's goal was to have fewer nato troops close to russia

s. 1000 being moved from germany to romania. this is pretty poultry. if you accept the claim from nato. joseph 3 are still to burg recently that russia sending 30000 fresh troops to bellows alone. visa exercises be held between pillars of russia in that country that also lies on credit borders. on top of the $100000.00 russian troops or more along rushes border with ukraine. so these really aren't comparable in terms of scale. and this is very much a symbolic move, but nothing that really changes the balance of forces while the world. and i don't want to tales against the atmosphere there briefly if you can. how concerned i ukrainians right now? well, there's a bit of a kind of disconnect between the world's attention on ukraine and lots of craning, seemingly going about their daily lives without too much of a change when you, when you talk to them, they often will tell you that they are slowly coming up with planned bees, brittany are taking cash out in case issues happen with the banks, and they have to leave in a hurry. so there's a bit of a skit fo

prime minister. 8000 of them passed through romania on their way to bulgaria and hungary.ossed into slovakia, romania on friday, as of grace we see many, many people being displaced internally in ukraine. let's get up of all the global responses to the latest developments from our diplomatic correspondent, james langdale. this is what the defence of kyiv looks like. soldiers with guns and armoured vehicles, ready to take on the might of russian tanks and warplanes. little wonder there is a debate about what more the west can do to help. but these american fighter jets will not be coming to theiraid. they arrived in romania today as part of nato's decision to beef up its presence in member states close to russia. so as well these british forces, arriving in the baltic states of estonia. they are there to deter potential russian aggression against nato countries. at the headquarters of the military alliance in brussels world leaders agreed to go even further, making what they call significant additional defensive deployments in eastern europe. we are deploying elements of th

yes, dalton burke visited the black sea puerto for cassandra and romania as a 1000 us troops arrived at the military base there. we continued to reinforce our eastern flank with more shapes, with more plains, with more a troops up. and we also ready to quickly reinforce if needed, or we have increased the red. and so the nato response force on, we can deploy more forces on short notice if needed. let's take a closer look at nickos at nato's. take on this last go to an attorney, schultz and brussels. welcome terry. so we're so again, stoughton burger there, as us forces arrived in romania, what did they therefore fill their part of nato's effort to reinforce it's eastern flag. they are not sent there. the u. s. forces as a nato mission. that's something that's not taking place at this time, but they're just one of the elements that's being built up in light of the threat coming from russia very near to nato's borders. the french have also offered to lead a new battalion that would go to romania and be more of a not permanent presence, but a. 6 long standing presence like we've seen in

is in romania in recent days and that's a signal to mr.utin. jonathan: the german chancellor meeting with vladimir right now. lisa: things seem optimistic for markets right now and i wonder how long it will be until people worry about inflation again. there is a sigh of relief and yields are picking up and you are seeing tech stocks pick up. you are wondering about these risks out there and how they factor in. jonathan: do you like to put one worry to the side? tom: what's amazing is you can link moscow into the 20 year auction coming up. jonathan: up by one .5% on the s&p 500. the nasdaq is up 2.5%. we unlock high yields. crude oil is heading south, down 3.5%. lisa: the degree of volatility in oil rises is notable given how much things have shifted over the last few months. we'll rises are down nearly 4% after rising to the highest levels since 2014. olaf scholz is meeting in moscow with vladimir putin. it's the first in person meeting. how much does the outlook for oil bifurcate and depend on the outcome of this meeting and other meeting
