and so more context on this, i'm joined by expert and russia. china relations. really, that's soccer over a 1000001 year on from the start of the ukraine ball are china and russia increasingly on the same side is beijing still as it claims, impartial, noble, the countries are on the same geopolitical page. and in fact, this models we, then your coordination has been in the making over the last 8 to 10 years. so right now what we are observing is the manifestation of it and not the other way around. what is driving this partnership bar this china continued to support russia. well, 1st and foremost a day or are not engaged in a strategic alliance or a marriage of convenience or whatever. western concept you would like to introduce her to this relationship. it, sir. ah, temporary are symmetrical, our partnership in which china has obviously the upper hand, especially when it comes to trait economy of financial matters and yet, or what unites them is this shared interest, or specifically geopolitical interests in creating a credible counterweight to american global a

russia. is a good one, is a stable one. when you look at a china, russia relationship, do not always just do, you know, from the eyes of a 3rd person you, this relationship has to be put into context by natural relationship. but if you look at this from the bad, never relationship there, you would understand, you know, we really need to develop this relationship with russia because we're not your neighbor because most of us have all, what do we need from each other. but so this time there were good relationship has to be good and a normal say to say to relationship. yeah, you should not to be, you know, put on the test by other countries that on some things that the child has nothing to do, may be the chinese i sometimes feel flattered in that now it is, everything seems to be related to china even about this war you the heart of europe, which has nothing to do with china, but a people would still say which side you want to take. and all your question seems to be indirectly that a chatter should have a clear cut up position. this actually is a kind

, some of them refer to russia and china, economic relations are expanding. 022 , the volume of trade between russia and china was 85 billion dollars last year, and they intend to expand trade relations to the limit of 200 billion dollars per year. this year, the announcement that the foreign minister of china announced that we are trying to repair this strategic community partnership between russia and china that they had previously agreed to , emphasizes that the relationship between china and russia, while not at the expense of anyone there is no third country, here we mean america , it will not be influenced by any third country therefore, one point that is charged in the speech of mr. bank, the foreign minister of china, is the opinion of international developments, china is committed to the development of its relations with russia. a short question, please answer. the chinese foreign minister is sitting on the sidelines of the event held in germany he said that he is worried about china sending weapons to russia , why is he not so worried about sending w

so in russia, china is calculating. support when its relations with the united states deteriorate further. and over the last year, like especially the last couple of months, we have seen the deterioration, significant deterioration, significant deterioration of us china relations. so china's foreign policy, the main focus is us china relations and how china will deal with the united states in the years to come. [30 china will deal with the united states in the years to come. do you think this is — states in the years to come. do you think this is sort _ states in the years to come. do you think this is sort of _ states in the years to come. do you think this is sort of a _ states in the years to come. do you think this is sort of a definitive - think this is sort of a definitive position in the past the rhetoric from china husband look, we are being neutral, we want peace. we don't want an escalation of the war. has that changed you think by saying that russia and china are now closer to each other�*s i that russia and

advice or even demands was transferred from beijing to moscow . to escalate relations between russia and china, looking for various contradictions between the positions of the two countries, which, in fact, really exist, but the similarities between the politics and russia of the people's republic of china today are much greater. therefore, from my point of view, of course, no ultimatums of this kind were broadcast from beijing to moscow. i think that china will certainly continue to support russia . china of course opposes any kind of use of nuclear weapons, because this can open a pandora's box as russia . by the way, as russia, of course. this, if this is a position, it seems to me that all countries of the world today, therefore, in this case , china takes a very balanced position, but

give the most important task for china is to understand what russia wants, where russia is moving. w can we interact in the future? because, of course, between the united states between china and russia is now very active. in my opinion. trade relations on trade are developing very successfully. this is far from everything that needs to be understood, how russia , like china, is comprehended, in general, further geopolitical geostrategic development. how can we interact and support each other, again, not only in trade, but let's say in the military-political area, in general in the political area. well , the main point is what institutions for the development of russia and china can jointly build, because we see that not only russia but also china is trying to be disconnected from many, as they say, economic support systems? it blocks the entry of chinese goods to western markets, including european ones, and in this regard, it is obvious that all these tectonic shifts do not fit into the chinese model of development. that is, we are in this situation here with china, we can say tha

s. saves china could be planning to on russia. in it's boring, you praying a prospect that if true would carry consequences warns you are a secretary of state antony blinking. what could those consequences be and why does china continue to support brochure? plus how a nation country is teaching you premium soldiers, new battle field skills. ah. my british manager, welcome to did up the news asia. glad you could join us. john, i'll stop diplomat. one year was headed to moscow on monday, a day after receiving a warning from b u. s. against arming russia. you are a secretary of state antony blinking, and one ye met on the sidelines of the munich security conference in germany. in later interviews, blinker revealed that the u. s. had information that china was planning to provide legal support to russia in its war in ukraine, and that such support would carry consequences for b ging, i think we also had an opportunity to talk about the russian aggression against ukraine. we're here in munich and many of the country sure, focused as we

and why does china continue to support russia? plus how a nation country is teaching ukrainian soldiers new battle fetus kills ah, my british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia dead. you could join us. china stopped diplomat. one year was headed to moscow on monday. a day after receiving a warning from the us against arming russia. you are a secretary of state antony blinking, and one ye met on the sidelines of the munich security conference in germany. in later interviews, blinker revealed that the us had information that china was planning to provide lethal support to russia in its war in ukraine was you and that such support would carry consequences for b ging ship. i think we also had an opportunity to talk about the russian aggression against ukraine. we're here in munich, and many of the countries here focused as we are on that aggression. and one of the things that i shared with him was a growing concern on our part. the china is considering providing legal support to russia and it's aggression against ukraine. and i m

russia is doing. we're kind of micro, i'm china. right. why is it in china of interests to help russia? what does china gain from this? from the james perspective, the current war in ukraine is not a war of aggression, russia bar of especially against ukraine. but it is rather a proxy war between us let international order, and they are again, power such as russia or china. so in this context, aging shared the very similar view of the world and of the the know that should be governing this international order. and is trying to renew correctly, support russia in terms of competing these norms and values that are promoted by, by the u. s. so in this worldview, there is no room for ukraine being, and actually a sovereign state with its own consideration, its own agency or interest. it is rather that finance russia trying to spread back against what they see at the had money us let international order, which does not work in favor of office for credit states. how do you, how do china is purported plans to arm russia square with one ye telling the munich security conference over the weekend?

even though china and russia do not see eye to eye on everything, but overall, the china russia relationshiprom china's perspective, russia is not particularly likeable in the united states but because of the strategic triangular relationship in the ongoing us—china competition, china more or less is left without a choice but to side with russia a bit more especially considering the us has not made any positive gestures in the past few years regarding improving the bilateral relations, so for china to change its stance, the us probably needs to make some compromises or change its policy towards china, but this is unlikely for many reasons especially for domestic politics in the us. especially for domestic olitics in the us. ~ ., ., politics in the us. what do you think might — politics in the us. what do you think might happen _ politics in the us. what do you think might happen next, - politics in the us. what do you | think might happen next, then? because many are asking the question, will china take the step in providing military expertise to russia and that is something the us is warnin

russia. hello world, i would like to ask you about the accusations made by the us against china and russia ,t is the purpose of the us in raising these issues at this point in time? first, i will give a short history of the accusations that the americans have made chinese companies imported, and after the principles of china's approach to the ukraine crisis, i will serve in 2022. last summer, the americans sanctioned 5 chinese companies that were producers of electronic equipment for allegedly helping the russian military and defense industries, and entered the gate of their own blacklist. they did and they don't even know that the beginning of this cooperation between chinese and russian companies was before the russian invasion and attack on ukraine, these relations continued even after the attack, but the official position is always oil and in fact these accusations and in opposition with us sanctions against russia considering that the chinese have extensive strategic relations with each other, can these accusations cool down the process of expanding relations between the two countries,

it's just between china and russia because we're good neighbors. and neighbors will always be neighbors. you can't remove china from russia as a neighbor, and the same will play with russia. so same thing. so it is important that we try to set a good example as how we should do with our neighbors nelson. let me jump in quickly. if i may, i do apologize for jumping on you here, but there have been a number of russian officials said, thank you that that have said that the west, the collective west is engaged in a hybrid war against russia. but then look at it the other side of it, as well as a military conflict in ukraine where certain top russian officials have said this is essentially a conflict against the hedge him on of the west, in nato and america, or on the unfortunate stage and ground of ukraine, but then look at this, you've got the military conflict against the best of the west and ukraine, but you've also got this economic conflict nelson, the bricks, the s c o and all these new strategic and economic families being born around the world,

yesterday on this week -- on meet the press, senator dan sullivan was asked about china helping russia in the war. >> what do you think the best way is to deter china from helping the russians right now? if they do, watch of the consequences be? >> they are already helping russia. every time you hear chinese officials talk, they are blaming us and nato for the ukrainian war. there should be a serious redline with regard to them supplying military equipment to the russians. i think that should be in the form of sanctions. there is a broader issue here. republicans are more united. the war in ukraine revealed that we are in this new era of authoritarian aggression led by jean ching ping and vladimir putin. they are increasingly isolated. they view their neighbors in a very paranoid way. i think this challenge were they are looking to take aggressive actions against their neighbors, whether it's in ukraine or taiwan, it's going to be with us for decades. we need to face it with confidence. there are a number of things we have over these dictators that we should promote. our commitment to

as a secretary of state, anthony blinkin has claimed china is thinking about selling weapons to russia and blink and his threatening consequences if beijing parisians. the, are concerned the to china's considering us supporting russia's war effort in ukraine with lethal assistance. something that we're watching a very, very close, as i also said, and as president biden said, going back many months when the aggression 1st took place. and he spoke to president, she's in thing, he told him at that point that um, there would be real consequences in our own relationship. we're trying to provide lethal assistance lab, lincoln's accusation followers. it follows his archers, a recent meeting with china's foreign policy chief wong ye who is now where he's right here. visiting moscow, a china strongly rejected the u. s. claim when reminded the world of washington's role in the conflict. downtown char, your input antigua would ship it is the u. s. we kept providing weapons to the battlefield, not china. the u. s. is in no position to tell us what to do. and we would never accept its finger pointi

how likely is it that china will face sanctions for supporting russia? well, it's a likely that china will become an alliance with russia in this war because it's not in china's interest. earlier this year, china's dress that the relationship between china and russia is based on no alliance, no confrontation, and no targeting of 3rd parties indicating that the relationship with russia is kept at a distance. however, we see baby steal, supports russia, and a gives it diplomatic, and ignore mich, support, beliefs room for it, not to openly sell arms to russia. the 2 sides are acting and take inventions of each other. china wants to resume investment and trait with europe. so it would be very unwise on to materially support russia and face for the sanctions. you mentioned that it is providing economic support. what is china doing to help russia financially exactly? are following rush us invasion of ukraine a year ago. most western countries imposed severe sanctions on russia, including a ban on oil imports and exports of high tech products. many western comp

and china, both of whom were competitors, and turned russia into an adversary and are trying to do the same thing with china . it's no surprise that china would lean towards russia when the u. s. is causing them to become an adversary rather than just a competitor. you know, the enemy of my enemy is my friend and unfortunately the by did ministration seems to be trying to grow more enemies around the world. just a day before noon made this statement, the musk tweeted that no one is pushing for this war harder than she is. what do you think her real motives are and to what extent is her approach shed by the rest of the us government's? i don't think her approach is shared by all of the u. s. government. unfortunately, it's the direction of the biden administration. you're getting more and more members of the us congress on the republican side, demanding accountability, demanding transparency of where the nearly 200000000000 dollars that has been given to ukraine so far has actually gone. and the, the democrats in the, in the congress divided ministration, had bal

so in russia, china is calculating. support when its relations with the united states deteriorate further. and over the last year, and especially the last couple of months, we've seen the deterioration, significant deterioration of us—china relations. so the chinese foreign policy calculus is oriented, sort of. has this changed by saying that china and russia are closer to each other? don't think that significant change. china is very careful to remain neutral as you put it. of course it's not fa ct. but china i think will continue trying to perform this diplomatic dance of trying to remain neutral but at the same time continuing business as usual with russia but in fact providing support. so this is what china has been doing. it's position has been very ambivalent. china position is characterised by two contradicting arguments. one is that sovereignty of every state needs to be perfect but the other one is that —— i think this ambiguity will continue. i don't think china will announce explicit support of russia and ukr

by the way, with the russian ambassadors, well, from russia, china can do the same with the russian federationer question for you, well, actually, what i asked mr. taras about when can there be that turning point when china will start to impose stricter conditions on moscow and behave more harshly towards moscow, just like a vassal. one moment made putin understand that your place is already here. here is your chance to be there. you just lost, please, as soon as possible and putin uh, they will begin to cause china more problems than benefits, and let's say it will close the opportunities to use uh, its policy , then china will immediately make a uh decision for the one you say to start negotiations uh without any conditions until that moment as long as china is allowed, let's say, to balance on this border of relations, etc., bearers of the border of military confrontation between ukraine and russia. but there is another interesting point here, that the industry of the west is gradually being spun up for military aid to ukraine on the one hand, on the other hand, to replenish its reserves an

on ah ah, business dw news live from berlin, top you as diplomats, anthony blinkin says china may soon arm russia in its war against ukraine. lincoln issued his warning after meeting with his chinese counterpart at the munich security conference. china slams the u. s. claims as false. also coming up in intense 5 grinds on for control of the eastern danverse region and ukraine. new supplies of military aids can come soon enough for ukrainian troops trying to hold back the russian assault. you says it has a plan for peace. ah, i married evans dean. thanks for joining me. we begin with some breaking news from ukraine. you, as president joe biden has arrived in the ukrainian capital key of on what is his 1st visit to ukraine since russia launched its invasion a year ago this week. biden was scheduled to make a visit to neighboring poland, to mark the anniversary. but this unannounced visit to kia will underscore washington's unity with europe and nato, against russia's aggression. o d. w, as in zebra, him is standing by in key a for us, for the latest on all of this. so a, we know that the city cente

also in the program we joined naval exercise is held between russia, china and south africa, which seek to improve cooperation bye despite unprecedented pressure from the west . on the western african nation, albert king of faso ships focused on seeks cooperation with russia. after demanding the french military with drawers personnel from it's terry with it is roughly 4 pm in moscow on this monday, and a lot of developments to pass along to you today. so welcome to your new zonati international u. s. president joe biden makes a surprise visit to kiev, where he met with the ukranian president zelinski nearly a year after the start of russia's special military operation. offers photo up, the u. s. president sat down and reaffirm washington's wavering support ukraine pledging to send the even more money and weapon the new package worth at least $500000000.00 is set to include high mas rockets, ammunition, and feed tank systems and radar. all we'll probably, we're not is moved by the us president comes out ukraine marks 9 years since the deadliest day of the my down protest in the ukrainian

china? yes, so the 20 duration. sure. but you, russia and china, as you have to do that, you asked increased dramatically. i think at least trouble. i just give you one example. the automobile industry, right? i mean, russia used to be dominated by any companies, by hand, by rain. oh, now the all gone mostly gone and i think the russian people finding that the chinese carson s u v 's actually pretty good. and also, you know, very canonical and i'm a lot cheaper. i'm talking tre, between china and washer is very complementary. there's also increase you wrap a rapid it certainly china's also and a lot of pressure from washington are to curtailed actually on, you know, washington has a narrative that somehow the increasing trade relationship between benji and moscow is, is portrayed as a way of assisting a russia total nonsense, you know, china and a not estates has a tray size much, much larger than between china, russia and it's never any talk about china providing so co maturer support to, to watch. and i thought, so i think an unpaid us

and china are now closer to each other? i that russia- closer to each other? i don't think it is — closer to each other? i don't think it is a _ closer to each other? i don't think it is a significant - think it is a significant change, china is very careful to remain neutral as you put it. of course it is not, in fact, but china, i think will continue trying to perform this diplomatic dance of sort of trying to remain neutral but at the same time continuing business as usual with russia but in fact providing support. so this is what china has been doing, its position has been very ambivalent in regards to ukraine, china's position was characterised by two hundred acting arguments. one is that sovereignty of every state needs to be protect but the other one is that russia has legitimate security interests and concerns in ukraine so i think this kind of ambiguity will continue. i don't think china will announce explicitly support of russia in ukraine. and ukraine very much on the agenda at the united nations general assembly, lets take yo

russia. it's a beautiful thing to have the big brother, china and russia to come to the south african military guys to show them how things should be done at the international level. so we are not surprised about that and knowing that will come from the west militarily, education, the economy, and the finance, the, the, all the things that are there when that change, that was to try and thank you. a couple. russia is how much money you're going to get. but if we, if you can't agree to that kind of money, you're sending a phone to that. so if it's not winning, it's not going to win in any way. economic more criminal wants to break india's democracy valley is the direct warning from the indian minister of unions who claims billionaire a final sir george soros is plotting to intervene in the country. the man who broke the bank of england a man who is known and designated so by a nation as an economic war, criminal has now pronounced his desire to break the indian democracy on the government of angry. they've hid boxing. that source is trying to target in del democracy. we hard, the indian municip

ministry said that such a meeting would be the central event of bilateral relations between russia and china in 2023. so we're seeing a lot of high level politicking between these 3 strategic partners right on the eve of the one year anniversary of russia, special military operation. so we're going to see what kind of stuff we've got cooking up over the next couple months. the reach of digital currency in russia is set to grow. that's after the country central bank confirm plans to launch a pilot project in a in april to test out the digital rubel min more than a dozen banks. earlier i discussed the development r t contributor kristen we plan to launch a pilot stage of the digital ruble project on april, 1st with transactions between individuals and payments and trade and service enterprises. at this stage, i would like to draw your attention right away that the pilot will be based on real operations, real clients, but on a limited number of operations and on a limited number of clients. with 13 banks that have already technically confirmed their readiness. for the technologically adverse li

although most copies in the west are breaking around russia, the ukrainian company is on everyone's lips by the end of the year. chinarips to europe and russia the 1st members of the political bureaucrat, as the agro-industrial complex responsible for international affairs, paid almost as much attention as the biden voyage in munich vann exchanged fist-balls with the us secretary of state blinken and the head of euro-diplomacy barel and promised from the rostrum conferences. the peace plan for ukraine came to the hostile hungary a. then he arrived in moscow to prepare the arrival of zemfin. we are waiting for him in the spring. china has never spoken out directly for or against a special military operation in ukraine, but 20 days before it began, vladimir putin visited beijing , which resulted in a joint statement by the two countries , which said in particular that china treats the proposals proposed by russia with understanding security assurances in europe and supports them in the same document it was emphasized that moscow and beijing oppose nato expansion and call on the north atlantic alliance to abandon the id

war in ukraine in other ways. russia now needs china more than china, needs russia, and em, i think china is always prepared to, to use this leverage that it has to its own advantage. i'm on, i think it's hoping it's already taking advantage of cheap energy. it's also looking at the invasion of ukraine to see what it could mean for its own ambitions and in taiwan and in the south china sea. as moscow's trip struggle on in ukraine, shiner is working towards its long term goal of expanding its board as an influence on the global stage. ah, well, more than 7000 kilometers away from the battlefields and eastern ukraine. cambodia is providing valuable de mining training to ukrainian troops. now this comes after cambodian prime minister who's said offered the help to ukranian president voldemort zalinski in a telephone conversation last november. my advice i seen the day tinker is being taught how to carry out to control it explosion yet he is part of a team of 15 ukrainian soldiers who are in cambodia for a week to be trained in d mining techniques. voice lori helpful training. it was so

what opportunities do you think the war in ukraine can offer to both russia and china? where i think it's becoming quite clear that both russia and china had strategic alignment, their interest coincide, and they are challenging the international order. so i think that the chinese character where there is crisis, there is opportunity, even though this war has taken much longer than either putting or she jumping ever envisioned. they are trying to see how they can make that are kind of dreamer, global governance and changing international order work, even though put in a peer is very, very weak. at this point, china is a, apparently that the stronger of the 2. it says that it's worried about the conflict escalating and their speculation that she's been paying a will present a piece plan for ukraine. later this week is china. is it a credible mediator? well, that's really good question. we saw very early on during, in this conflict, before even the conflict one year ago at the munich security conference, u. s. intelligence and officials were passing out information that yo

china has not provided _ russia on? china has not provided weapons - russia on? n? china has not i provided weapons to russia russia on? china has not - provided weapons to russia so far and we need to keep saying this because now all the talk in washington is about how china might be thinking of doing so after a year, and yes thatis doing so after a year, and yes that is worrisome and yet the fact that china is continuing to buy russian oil and gas is problematic but the fact that john has not had put in for mac back to the extent that we have had zelensky�*s back, that is big news, and i think we want to keep it that way, we want to keep china sort of outside of the actual direct combat involvement even in terms of weapons transfers or intelligence support so i like the idea that china is trying to look for some way to be a mediator. it is always going to lean towards russia and we shouldn't be naive about that but today's to suggest it is more interested in ending the war. and presidents leslie's reaction i think is excellent, he is taking china at its word, he

the police, a 1st naval exercises held between russia, china, and south africa with the countries seeking to improve cooperation despite on resident the pressure on the west. while for again, must not be left in china's hands. that's the view of western political italy, something munich security conference, as the leaders call a fresh, stronger presence on the continent. something that they see is crucial for europe's future. with welcome to r t international. my name's unit a good to help you with us today to our top story. us president joe biden has made a surprise visit to kiev, where he met with the ukranian leader nearly a year after the start of the conference, after photos quite a few. the u. s, president, south dollar non re, for washington's own wavering support to new crane on pledge this and even more money on weapons than you package worth. half a $1000000000.00 is said to include high mars munitions, the tank systems and radars. and all joe biden says it comes as ukraine mark 9 years since the deadliest day of the my done protests in the government who left dozens killed more

war and ukraine in other ways. russia now needs china more than china needs russia and em, i think china is always prepared to, to use this leverage that it has to its own advantage. i'm on, i think it's hoping it's already taken advantage of cheap energy. and it's also looking at the invasion of ukraine to see what it could mean for its own ambitions and in taiwan and in the south china sea. as moscow's troops struggle on in ukraine shine or is working towards its long term goal of expanding its borders. an influence on the global stage. some or i'm joined now by the ws chief international editor, richard walker. richard, and can you tell us how can we see china's position evolving here with regard to the war and ukraine? yeah, as we saw a very well explained in that piece there. and also with those comments from a colleague, clifford coon and essentially we see the other one had child with stress of its independence in this that the, that is neutral, that it doesn't have any stake in this conflict. and that he doesn't like to see was and he wants to see this war stop. but it is providi

we think that they can somehow drive a wedge between china and russia. and by trying to kind of china in as a mediator as possible mediator. but i think that this is really misplaced, and i think that china and russia clearly are aligned and they have strategic interest. so they are cooperating with each other. and it's in beijing's interests, it's nice to have a weak russia, but they don't want to weak of a russia because it's better to have put in as a useful vassal than have some maybe new reformer come in. if putin is taken out and to have someone who might be more friendly towards transatlantic relations or to the west. so i think beijing is maybe even more concerned that putin is so weak that maybe they need to help him because they don't want to see him leave power. that will let me actually will undermine it. before we run out of time, this balancing act, that china is trying to master right now. i mean, their economy completely interdependent with the united states. they can't alienate the u. s. completely at the same time. they're trying to have

china is an indispensable. and frankly speaking today, i think senior partner do junior russia so, or anything that the chinese say, even if it is an attempt to mediate rushes, now must listen to. and i think that in this respect, china is an indispensable number one partner for putting the resume to that konstantin china says it's seeking a role in a possible p settlement between russia and ukraine. so if that's the case, how much influence does china have over russia? some but it's not limited because in the end puts in decides for himself and for the country actually where to lead it. ah, i think that personally, i think that any attempt at mediation today will be futile. neither puts in the will agree to let us a give back some of the territory, nor which is a more important present zalinski. the gradient. people will agree to any compromises with moscow after what happens. so i do think for the chinese it is an attempt rather to show other parts, 1st and foremost, all washington, that they are responsible stakeholders in global affairs. that's the kind of the, the, or the form of the formula of the chinese

and let's remember russia is a storm by china is really climate changes as one way put it. yeah, very good way to put it, theresa valley with the center for russia, europe, asia studies. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. 0, one l to berlin's international gym festival. the berlin knowledge a day was the world premier of 20000 species of bees. it tells the story of an 8 year old child who explores her identity during a summer vacation in her mother's home town in the basque country. the girl does not like it when people address her by her birth name. so she goes in search of the white one and a new identity. joining me now from the red carpet at the billing allan, is our reporter on a chipper on. it's good to see you tell us more about these 20000 b. these 20000 b as yeah, they're definitely in the film but who was also in the film is that little girl? it is one of the 2 competition films, friends that stars a child as the main protagonist. and let me tell you this girl. her name is sophia kettle, she is incredible. her performance is so
