they also shared the issue of you, in the case of russia, ambitions over u cranes. in the case of china ambitions over taiwan. so there's a lot for them to work together. and we should also not forget that she jumping age, reviving marxism leninism as the, the old e, the older g in china, which makes him much more better disposed to former soviet countries that are we turnings to author. ready a terrorism, russia is one of them in of low. sorry, glen. what is the right, what were the russians getting out of this? all the getting out there what, what this is samantha had demonic partners. so someone to help them develop some alternatives so. so, so the partnership kind of expands in many areas they seek to integrate their economy is going to coordinate to political positions and, and also has some degree on a military corporation. now, obviously, the main thing russia would guess from this is what they never had before. because they were never, well invited in to the west or be part of europe after the cold war. so now they effectively found an alternative, instead o

u. s. is operating on it's doorstep that been us naval exercises with ukranian troops in the black sea. turkey has been supplying drones to crane on the u. s. military has also been supplying the ukrainian military all of these things. russia is, does not want to see happening. again, it has been looking for guarantees that it won't, the white house, joe biden, not able to give guarantees that putin is looking for probably bought him a person. has this bargaining chip. he has these troops gathered on the border with ukraine and estimate, suggest protect from u. s. military satellites. that if they, by the end of january, the early still have some $175000.00 troops there. and they'll be in a position to invade. should vladimir putin decide to do that? and it's pretty easy to get that actually there's been a kind of cold conflict rumbling on, hasn't since 2014. how does that play into everything while ukraine? yes. the mean, one of the major complaints has been the agreements reached the chief, the sci fi in the ukraine previously have not been observed. russia hasn't withdrawn. heavy artillery from occupied parts of eastern ukra

u. s. military contractors in eastern crane are preparing provocations involving chemical components and the british prime minister approval ratings plummet to a historic low. as the fallout grows over revelations of repeated violations of cobra rules last year. at the same time as health workers are lining up to accuse him of exploitation the page, you know, they've done nothing to address the pay. there's been no way that i'd see from the government to, to tackle retention within the web portal. ah . are broadcasting live there. read from of studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us are now 1st natural gas prices in europe continue to break records. the commodity is now around 6 times more expensive than in early summer, or these peter oliver brings us up to speed rack or breaking day when it comes to the price of gas in europe. that has topped $2000.00 per 1000 cubic meters of gas for the 1st time ever. it's come about after gas braun, the russian energy giant didn't book any gas transit through poland on the human europe pipe

u. s. is ready to help you crane quote, push back any time. what do you think of that considering this recent incident? no, it's not surprising where, where the russian troops like 20300 kilometers away. i mean, i guess you can say that's kind of on the border or any kind of like, you know, troops in new york threatening washington d. c. i mean, you know, so, so this fits into the, it's in the narrative. look, ukraine is, has not executed anything with them. and yet we give live service, all of them a little. but really we put very little pressure as far as i know on your brain to abide by the minutes that they signed up to. they agreed. so i, i just yeah, it's a dangerous situation. right. and i think, i think we're next direction. and let's think whereas the aggression, the aggressions, coming from my understanding that got all along the eastern border there. so there's no aggressive action on the russian side for my, my d, all defense fostering the aggression in the brain inside that's, that's what it looks like. from my perspective and wha

u. s. is ready to help you crane quote, push back any time. what do you think of that considering this recent incident? well, i think that mister biting is in trouble at home. his popularity ratings are declining precipitously. it's fear that his party will suffer. punishing and pulver riding the pulverizing defeats and the poles in november of next year. and it's a old time long time trick of us politicians to try to create problems abroad in order to deflect attention away and issues at home. and that is also at play with regard to eastern europe as we speak. so the un recently adopted resolution calling on russia to provide freedom of navigation in the black sea and the sea of as off. and i think we can all agree that international waters of freedom of movement is, is agreed upon internationally. could this incident though, have been linked to that statement? well, sure, and obviously there's a double game at play. you see the united states and his allies assailing provocatively into the black c, u. c, u. s. vessels and well, recently briti

u. s. and russian presidents as moscow masses, troops on new cranes border. a caught in malaysia upholds the corruption conviction of former prime minister, not to abrazzo that says he can stay out of jail for now. mister caley, it joins the us diplomatic boycott of next year's winter olympics. and china ah, well, germany is about to get a new chancellor. it's federal parliament is meeting to elect center left a social democrat or left shelter. he'll be replacing angle america. he's leaving after 16 years and office and we live in berlin with all the latest in a moment. but 1st step boss and reports from schultz is home. tom hambert, a special discount for all of shells here caught a little joke from barbara batch of. i'll gone to celebrate the new chancello happened to be an old friend. they met when both are working for the s b day, the social democratic party, and hamburg toys too long for me does all of us attack? it's especially day because my good comrade, my very sensitive comrade, been a powerful position as chancellor and i will keep my fingers cross

u. s. remains concerned over russia's military buildup of at least $80000.00 soldiers on new cranes border. washington described some parts of the draft proposal as unacceptable and warns there will be massive consequences over any aggression in ukraine. theresa fallon is direct sir. the center for russia, europe, asia studies. she says the us would never agree to some of russia's demands. the 1st read of all of this, everyone has been shocked. these are massive asks that moscow the kremlin once so many of them. of course, no one could agree to, for example, no further expansion, any countries that were included nato, since 1997 with navy would have to ask with us, would have to ask permission from the kremlin to do any sort of activities. so i think that there are a lot of red lines there that the u. s. has agreed to discuss some of these issues, but these are big asked and it was like a sphere of influence. again that, that put in wants to put in place just completed the summit. this kind of might give you a barometer of how some of the europeans, not all you members, states are members

warning, a direct warning to rusher as well, not to invade crane if it did so, it would suffer severe consequences. we can hear how this trust u. k. foreign secretary put it. we've sent a very clear united message to vladimir putin from this g 7 meeting. and we want russia to stop. it's a question with respect to ukraine, and we have very clear that there would be severe consequences if that incursion took place. this is about deterring russia from taking that action. so plenty of generosity, but very little in the way of specific seattle. what are these consequences that russia might suffer? we just don't know yet. might germany prepay be prepared to cancel the nord stream to gas pipeline? for example, might russia be expelled from the swift banking system? could ukraine be given proper, offensive weaponry to counter a russian invasion? you have to assume that the specific do exist somewhere that they have been conveyed to vladimir putin when joe biden, and put in towards the other day, the white. how said afterwards that are the things that weren't done in 2014, when russia annexed crimea from ukraine, those things could be

along the border with that you crane and again on jimmy blink, and according to the state department, made clear that the u. s. doesn't have a desire for conflict with russia and bring lincoln said, he told love that the u. s. c's, a key to ending the conflict is the implementation of the men's agreement. and the allegations here are that russia and ukraine are not engaging in prison swaps. ukraine is not allowing local elections to take place in the area control by russian separatists. russia isn't removing heavy armor, lots of things like this that should have happened by now. so this is what an exchange in russia will repeated. it's point about is red lines that it does not want to see nato expanding beast woods taking in ukraine and georgia and burn. and can you give us a sense here because we've had a lot of strive rhetoric over the last few days, how, how's russia responded? to what we've been hearing from nato over the last little while. well, i think the most important thing that seems to come out of this meeting and is something that we think we believe the russians have been talking after the las

u. s. president is hugely stern wanting to russia. moscow continues to build up troops along the border with crane. ah how low they will have a look at africa in a moment, but 1st to the middle east, and we're seeing some very unsettled conditions across the mediterranean, thanks to a weather system. that's bringing some really wet to and windy weather to parts, a turkey pushing into cypress, and it'll move into lebanon. so we'll have showers in syria on sunday as we go into monday. that's going to move across iraq and is gonna turn rob a wintry across northern areas of iran as we go into next week. but for the south, it is looking largely fine dry and settled. a change in the wind is going to drop the temperature slightly in places like dough ha, but it is looking largely fine and dry. but further west was seen the showers pickup around coastal areas of the red sea. and as we hope across to northern areas of africa is going to get very wet indeed for coastal areas of algeria to new zia. look what happens on monday, we'll have some of those strong winds blowing into libya as well as egypt and temp
