that is the e u e u partnership age in new in relationship of equals, we'll hear from a member of the libyan parliament will believes that has never been the case. the european countries, i've always been babysitting africa, one area where the balance of power between africa and europe is one sided is when it comes to trade. african nations generally struggle to compete on the international market in ghana for example, the local tomato industry is under serious threats. increasing imports of tomato products from abroad are driving many farmers out of business. benedict to are free for is a tomato farmer in the middle of one of ganawe's main production regions. in the past, this was like harvesting red gold. instead, farmers like her have fallen on tough times before anthony we have a lot of problems which makes it hard to survive in this country. and i'm the biggest challenge is imported tomatoes. after independence, ghana introduced customs duties to make em ports more expensive that protected local producers like benedictine. then ghana joined the world trade organization and lord c

u. e. u summit here in brussels. talking about this trips waiver, you have come to brussels with the intention of persuading the europeans to change their vision. and to release the i p on the intellectual property on vaccine so that they can be produced in africa. germany is one of the countries that is most reluctant to do so. how much of your anger towards the europeans is directed towards germany? and what does this mean for africa that this trips waiver isn't coming into place? what other chips waiver issue is not so much and god that is directed of is anyone or in particular germany i had a wonderful meeting with the new chancellor. was discourse and we had a good exchange on the issue of the i p waiver. and i explained to him what is driving us to put forward the arguments that we are putting forward. and i said, in our view, when we had an epidemic like this, what you will get us out of the pandemic should be regarded as a public good. it should not be seen as a profiteering type of instrument or product. it should be what should be readily available. and i think that message got through to him and i did say that we don't want to be receiving comes from anybody's table. ah, we, we don't just want to fill and finish where we get the drug substance from somewhere, fill it and then put it on the market. we want to be able to manufacture the drug substance ourselves. and that is where the real hot on the i b at the i p argument comes in. and i said that should be fairly straightforward. and then again, i argued that this is not for ever type of provision. we wanted for a set period. and so that we're able to get over this vaccine does this issue to you highlight the real fundamental problems in the relationship between africa in europe. i would say the reluctance off of europe for instance, to agree to reach an agreement on the trips waiver is what we consider relationship or the an agreement on the tips way but would strengthen the relationship, would consolidate it. and i did say as much in the meeting that if we are not able to reach agreement on this, it would be seen that this was a failure. at least 9 people have been killed as fear storms, batter, northern europe, record breaking, wins of disrupt transportation. and knocked out power supplies across the u. k. braving the stormy sea, despite warnings to stay indoors, some people in brighton on england, south coast, remained drawn to the forces of nature. storm unit is the 2nd major storm this week, and it's sweeping across northern europe with record breaking gusts of nearly 200 kilometers an hour causing power outages for tens of thousands of people. were authorities in the u. k issued a rare red warning for parts. a southern england, including london, was sections of the o. 2 arena roof were ripped off by the storm. so the message along with it is lost. the recipes has the read weather warney sandals. still you. this is the worst only based in 3 decades is for the polio inadvertently for ourselves in the hallway and albinos, numerous flights were cancelled. and of the ones that did try to land in london heathrow. many ended up being diverted. train services were interrupted as well, leaving many passengers stranded, less coin, annoyance by i've been able to you. well, it worked out qu

u. e. u summit happened in brussels, at least there was one in 2017 in abidjan, but the last have happened at brussels. the whole ethos was about trying to change the relationship between europe and africa, from donor to investor. and there is slow progress on this. and this is what the europeans, as i say, are keen to press on and came to, to talk to the african union leaders about thanks about jack jack barack in brussels, who controls the over the wearing of head jobs at school has sparked protests across india in recent weeks at the countries constituting allows minorities like muslims, to practice their religion. but he jobs and other religious symbols have been banned in some schools pending a court decision. he w, as many are a chowdhury report from the southern state of karnataka, where the route interrupted. fatima and garcia, friends from the same village are going to their college after a gap of a few days. the state government checked their college in bangalore, along with other colleges in the state of connecticut for a week. the reason a controversy involving he jobs, the situation escalated in nearby luby, known as the temple town of the south. they're a college band, the job that caused a standoff between those who defended their right to where the he job and others who are ports, allowing it inside an educational institution. as tensions cleared, the protest, both anti and pro, he job is spilled over to other parts of india. this is the government pre university college where allegations of denying entry to girls in her jobs 1st surfaced. the principal, your and the state education minister, blame a thought and student organization for instigating the issue. and the students here to protest against the dress court. we had otherwise always followed. both fatima and garcia called the ban, unfair and discriminatory. they see the he job is a part of their feet in a country where muslims are often targeted. if you read of here one of your finger audio when off yelling how you feel, i can say like that if a, the more my his of a he, lucy, if thing it is a symbol cloth, doesn't harm any one that people have made a mountain out of a mole hill and turned the he job into an international issue when and yet another class cookie halle represents a hindu right. twin group. he says, the he job does not belong inside school. the ot see the group head organize the recent process across the state a charge he denies the irony there. according to our religious tax, there should be no differentiation between hindus muslims, all christians of the other. they should all get the same education, but it's not just a question of a jonathan by wearing that they just want to differentiate their identity and appearance from hindus and google in that different kind of vehicle. now identity aggregate was a long tensions are running high in willoughby. and opinions over the issue are divided maces, what they hum, safety ays, we feel safe when we wear the he job as a we should be allowed to. our religion also asked if the same of us, my mother before lego, for how long it took. are you sure that this was a small issue to begin with? this is now turned into a political game because next year there are state elections where all students are equal in a school. they should not bring their religion inside. schools and colleges have now reopened. um, it's a huge presence of the police and the media with exams looming. student said they can't afford to miss any more classes. but the issue, as every girl wearing the he job here knows, is far from being result in a series of severe storms his head to parts of central europe, at least 4 people were killed. as gale force winds brought down trees and power lines across germany. a neighboring countries involved united kingdom has issued a weather warning us another storm barrels across the atlantic. a commute of ferry on the elbow river close to hamburg. people here are used to stormy weather, but not to this luckily, no one was seriously hurt. shipping for large vessels has been suspended in many coastal areas in northern germany, where storm elana hit particularly hard rail traffic is also affected. many long distance trains in particular have been cancelled causing major problems for those traveling from hamburg, go berlin to munich on the for the smooth cancellations are precautionary measures because the safety of our passengers and employees is our top priority. we don't want trains being stuck on the open track in these weather conditions. i asked because making sure 30400 or 500 passengers on the train are safe is difficult, especially when the train is also cut off from the power supply. walnut grove, alarm falling trees, pays the highest risk the motorists. several people were killed when their cause were hit in germany and neighboring countries like poland and the czech republic. emergency services are advising people to stay home if they can, because the next storm is hot on the heels of millennia. and zane up as it's been called could be even more destructive. you are so full spotted, gail halverson, who became famous for his role in the berlin airlift, was died at the age of 1013 years after he and fellow a service, been dropped bombs on the german capital. he was part of efforts to keep berlin from starving during the soviet blockade of the city and became known as the candy bummer. he was a beloved figure in postwar berlin, and kept coming back for special events. gill halverson, one berliners hearts for giving them candy. when they didn't have much of anything at all, halverson was a u. s. air force pilot during the berlin airlift from 1948 to 1949. when the soviets blockaded west berlin, the u. s. air lifted vital supplies to a city that it had been at war with only 3 years before there did quite fit. halverson himself later said he had mixed feelings about the mission. bershard dropped, but his attitude changed. and he even started giving his own candy rations to children, eventually dropping the sweets by parachute from the air. good picture of it. and no one was startled. yeah. when they didn't bag i gave him a little gum. i have to speak to them. when they got so excited, i promised to draw it enough for everybody to this, and so i started dropping chocolate. american confectioners will send me all a county we could draw, and the berlin airlift helped change germans attitudes toward the united states. there war time enemy elverson became a lifelong ambassador for german american friendship. his name will lavonne in a berlin park dedicated in his honor. it wasn'

because there's going to be that extraordinary e u summit where all the leaders of the e u members. member states will gather and we'll talk through what those sanctions are. remember also that there will be a virtual g 7 summit missing. can vote by chancellor shots here in berlin because germany is currently holding the presidency of the g 7. and then another ne, so summit virtual summit tomorrow. so a great deal of meetings going on. and the question is, what sort of multi multi lateral sanctions will they be? they say they're going to be really sweeping and heavy and painful for president putin and those around him. but they haven't specified exactly what and we know what the ukrainians want. because the ukranian m ambassador in dough half told you, come are he wanted the swift acts of the swift payment system russian access to that to go. he wanted to see russian access to key geographical parts of the world, cut off the bus for us. he named, in other words, effectively asking turkey a native member states to deny access to its waterways to the russian navy. well, those are very

u. e. u announces hundreds of millions of euro's worth of support for ukraine, including high caliber arms as switzerland joins europe, sanctions against russia. now to other nato, says he abs, membership of the military block is not currently on the agenda. ah good evening. this is out international. i from moscow watching our world news attend this monday. the 28th of january. just one story dominating the invoice to moscow and kia for, for the heated exchange. the un general assembly in new york to renew urgent session over the crisis and ukraine. everyone in this home and everyone in the world knows that russia and russia alone started these invasion. these more was not proved. a coupon so graham, there are no plans to occupy ukraine senate. the goal of the special operation is to protect people who have been subjected to the use of genocide sites. he is from the key of regime nursing. this requires the demilitarization and denies of vacation of ukraine. russia is a permanent member of the security council, so they can veto resolutions by the un security council. so the united states hope to circumvent russia status at the security council by taking a resolution to the un general assembly, where every country, every member state is represented. now, the way this works, we have the opportunity for every country that's part of the un general assembly to give remarks. now the meaning opened with remarks from the secretary general of the un antonio gutierrez, and he gave oddly partisan remarks. usually the secretary general gives vague statements calling for de escalation of tension and peace. however, we heard him mix and pointed remarks, calling for russia to withdraw all of its forces from the internationally recognized borders. that would mean not protecting done african lugens, which is the primary objective of russia's operation in the country. then we recently heard from the ukrainian representative and he took to the floor and repeated much of what he has said over the past few days, making a lot of extreme allegations against russia and ping up his rhetoric, world war 2 comparisons. this is what the ukranian representative had to say at the un general assembly body deadly air strikes dropped on civilians has across the entire country. and the russian troops crossed ukraine's borders from the territory or russia, billers and the occupied bars, ukraine's dunbar and creamier. does it remind you of something, doesn't it? indeed, medically a perilous could be drawn with the beginning of the 2nd the will will do. it was chosen by someone who is right now sitting in the bunker. we know what happened with the person who sat in the bunker in berlin in may 1940 part. now from there we got to hear from the russian representative. now benzine, the permanent ambassador of the russian federation. and when he spoke, he was able to debunk a lot of the extreme rhetoric being unloaded by the united states and their allies . when he spoke, he pointed out that russia has actually uncovered a manual being used by allies of the united states to make fake videos to take video from libya, syria, other countries, even clips from video games and pass them off as video of the tri cities committed by russia in ukraine now he talked about how there's a lot of fake news going around the international media going around social media in particular. and he also spoke about how it seems like there has been no acknowledging of the fact that lugens and don ads had been shelled relentlessly for the past 8 years. and for the past 7 years, the minsk agreement that was supposed to reintegrate eastern regions back into ukraine hasn't been implemented now. the russian representative was able to speak and he made some very clear comments about how this is being represented in the media and how this particular resolution put forward to the un general assembly is not really pro ukrainian because it doesn't point out who pushed ukraine into this conflict, here's the russian representative and a benzo is of suitable movement, but in would you look at those to fool direct dialogue between key of and the don't bass was needed. however, this being hit more confirmation by the conquerors leadership, political grain is not ready for such dialogue for taking steps to rhonda don't bass special status as provided by the men's, ke agreements in the, in this convinced us that we simply have no right to make the residence of don bass suffer redoing those films to repose to new me now the russian representative expressed hope about the negotiations, the possibility of a ceasefire, hoping that tensions could deescalate, in the country of that they could reach an understanding i and that there could be security for the people of the eastern regions, as well as understanding that the nato coalition will not go into ukraine and expand right on to russia's doorstep. ah, but it's also important to note that as this is a meeting of the un general assembly, many countries will get to address it. and russia is not the only country in the world to recognize the people's republic of don ask, and the people's republic of lugens can also they, those countries have now been represented and recognized by venezuela, by cuba, by nicaragua, by iran. and so a number of countries are likely to get up and echoed some of what russia said, expressing concern for the civilian populations of whose don bass regions and what the people there had been enduring. act going, rushes right rightness in carrying out a needed security operation. to make sure these people no longer faced, the shelling and bombardment also expressing concern about the nato coalition, which has been quite aggressive in its interventions around the world, expressing concerns about natal expanding further eastward in closer to russia. so i were expected to have quite a long meeting. the un general assembly includes every member stay so quite along meeting is taking place. the representative of brazil, a brazil has spoken, were expecting to hear from a number of other countries. quite a long meeting today that will be taking place at the un general assembly hall knob at the resolution put forward by the united states and its allies condemning russia . what is being debated in the un headquarters today and totally understandable why fittings are running so high and all sides. not is kellum open in the un general assembly new york. thank you. what else were the 1st run to paste the go ca, since between russia and ukraine is concluded on the better of border after i'm 5, i was a talks. the head of moscow's delegation said he was cautiously optimistic with a 2nd round shed yield for the polish border. as his constantine rose cough reports from the gulf region where he talks to place togs between russia and ukraine have wrapped up. they've lasted for 5 hours. no breakthroughs, no grievance, have been made. the 2 delegations are on their way back to their capitals for further consultations. and after that, they're going to be the 2nd route of talks. the head of the russian delegation, letterman means he's going to report to president important about the outcome of tonight talks shortly. this is what mr. medina said right after these meetings, social workers are going should have to go with negotiations with the ukranian side . have concluded they lasted around 5 hours. during the talks, we went through all the details on the agenda, found some points on which common positions can be foreseen, and most importantly agreed to continue the negotiation process. the next meeting will take place in the coming days on the poland bella. ruth border. one of the members of the delegate schnells who made a statement saying that the 2 sides have found areas where some progress is possible without given any specific details. ukrainian or russian sites conducted the 1st round of talks to day. the main reason was to discuss the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities on ukrainian soil. besides determined a number of main questions on which certain decisions have been outlined, the sides are heading to their capitals for further consultations. the sides spoke about the possibility of 2nd round talks during which these issues would be developed, and he also confirmed that round to will take place in 2 days at the border between poland and belarus. so we can say that this particular meeting has yielded any tangible results, but perhaps it lay down the groundwork for the future talks. the fact that the 2 sides agreed to continue dialog looks promising, although publicly keith and moscow's position remained far apart. ukraine once and cease fire and withdrawal of all russian troops, even from crunchy and done best smasher ones in neutral status, free crime. and the key, if officially recognizes crime me as part of russia. tough times by piece is still possible. you can come soon enough full has been face fighting new crane, 2nd city hall call for day 5. the conflict. a large explosions been reported in the area with local filming huge clues as smoke commit. what they described as ongoing battles next to even other video to show you from ukraine, 2nd safety. but a warning you may find this sadly, disturbing missiles are getting residential areas. russia says it's completely avoiding such zones and claims. in fact, the ukraine is putting forces in residential buildings and using civilian says human shields. something strongly denied alleged artillery shelling, mirror shopping center has been reported to the northern part of the city plain to have come from a nearby residential building. now this map shows was happening further east, the red dots highlight the cities where the russian army is currently fighting with the ukrainian army, a nationalist formations. the russian defense ministry says that the lugens can militia have retaken territory from the credit army. 62 kilometers. now we, on the previous front line, wilderness forces have reportedly advanced some 37 kilometers. he ev accuses moscow with aggression and says around 5000 russian soldiers have been killed in recent days with 30 russian plains and helicopter shot down on about 200 tanks destroyed. moscow refutes the claims without disclosing concrete figures and says he's been making major advances against the cranium military. now in the capital, key of these are on verify. the image is showing a defense systems actively operating. give authority said the city was surrounded, but then down from the claim. and now say groups of russian saboteurs, trying to bring chaos to the streets. though that's been denied by russia's military. it's just as flooded with armed gangs of looters, robbers and radical nationalists. they were given guns in an unlawful decision by the authorities to hand out lethal weapons to any one without checking. i'm addressing all residents of everyone can leave the capital freely by a designated road. this road is open and safe. i want to emphasize once again, the russian army is attacking only military targets. the civilian population is not under threat. while he and ex, you can see the 2 don bash republics recently recognized by russia as independent countries. red dots, locations that russia's military with groups of nets can against troops currently fighting force. you can see there are numerous battles, the towns on going throat, those 2 don bus regions. and over to the dawn bus front lines where this video purportedly shows an explosion near the southeast and city of burial pal, the target of which is still unclear, working still to confirm what actually happened there. as it intervene, ukraine liberated by the current operation of their side to say as well, they say they, they finally see their families. after 8 years of war a my never, never want to go back to what they describe, buzz ukrainian rule. this is that it will bunch can that is, it is with you. of course i have not done you, you should get the example up. so when you come, your cheese did go to the interested. i deal with zillow with luck with starting up with you. and i'm leaving you grades you elsewhere. ukrainian troops are believed to have been surrounded by russian army forces, near the se, in city of mary apple. reporting on that. and other developments the front lines there. how senior correspondent, what we are hearing is that the city of mary opal, which is ukraine's largest port a is, is now almost surrounded with, with the garrison. that is there. the russian side has said that it is nationalist elements that are putting up stiffest resistance and that, that those units belonging to the regular military to regular formations, that they are choosing to negotiate. and in some cases, lay down their arms and return to their homes. but it is very difficult to verify this information at this time because event, sir, developing so quickly. and because there are so few reliable reports close to the front lines where it is extremely dangerous. the situation there is that many roads have been our mind. we have received reports from the city of dance, which is a halfway between the crimea and mario ball, which is at the axis of russian advance, which is a, which is where you credit units have planted in the city itself and in the outskirts minds. for example, to, to surprise that the devastated advancing force as it is very difficult to reach mario pool the vicinity of mary opal. at this point, there have been, according to reports, more than a dozen civilian casualties here in the city of stan. it's victims of fun, directed, find, and the neighborhood civilian neighborhoods, places where whether our apartment buildings and, and other houses we have seen or of course soon over ukraine, different reactions to this operation. there are certainly civilians who have been happy to seize russian forces, but there, but they have also been those who have been less than happy to see again. russian troops advancing through through you crate on the whole with so far it is with the the good the good with the, the, the administrations of various villages and towns there has been contact. they have a been somewhat responsible have tried to fly to agree try to negotiate with russian forces of bad responsibilities. for example, about joint patrols with police being with police being kept up to speed and allowed to do the job to prevent looting. for example, to prevent crime murders from taking place in the aisle key that his cellphone left behind, after military operations and the lady, we discussed the actions of the military claim to enter the city and sure order and reassure residence. well, they convinced me that this would not affect the life of the city in any way. there will be order in the city, our police will patrol it in the vehicle. there is, of course, also also the fact that the russian military has been keeping us up to date on it's statistics, which is how many various military infrastructure sites, objectives they have destroyed, which is at this point over a 1000 as well as the majority from what we understand of ukraine's air force has been destroyed many before being able to take off many jets, many helicopters before being able to take off in strikes, directed at airports and air fields and hangers, and other objects belonging assets belonging to the ukranian air force via west bank of the west bank of kia. this also said to be under the control of the russian military, viv cook, the situation and care fees. of course, desperate made much more so after authorities there boosted that they had handed out almost 30030000 assault rifles.

and, and trucks picking up guns by the dozen and, and leaving, which has resulted in as we have seen on social media, get a verified footage anaki in the, in the capital, a capital of ukraine. nevertheless, the russian side says it is making all efforts to avoid civilian casualties, which, which includes a bad on bombing blog to launching a rocket to missiles at indiscriminately at cities. and trying to keep will stripes, procedure stripes to our military infrastructure sites. and again, have reiterated that they are offering ukrainian forces. those that don't, don't belong to

u. s. together billions of dollars in weapons for ukraine to kill russians. so here's a real proxy war going on here between the u. s. e u and russia ukrainians are in the middle. they're the ones that are the ones getting shot on. they're fighting and dying for the us, not for their own independence. united nations security council as cold or emergency meeting to focus on the situation in ukraine with the u. s. on his western allies. seekins isolates moscow. russia recently used his veto as a permanent member of the council to cancel a resolution against moscow. while china, india and the united arab emirates all abstained on new york correspond kellum open reports. the representative of the united states hurled a lot of allegations at russia, accusing russia of many things, and blaming russia for the entire conflict. here's some of what we heard. we need to take extraordinary actions to meet this threat, to our international system, and do everything we can to help ukraine and it's people. just this morning, president putin put rushes nucular forces on high alert. even though he is invading a country with no nuclear we

u. s. of the, the e u, but also to the u. n. r. in response to what is happening, what can we expect from the u. n. in terms of this or invasion, we heard from, from antonio, guitarist the un secretary general, saying that the description of peacekeepers as, as they were called, going into the country from russia, was simply, it was a perversion of that term. how can, how, how can we expect to you and response we will definitely hear more stronger words. but terry, we have to her, that just of peak. quite frank here the u. n. is kind of a toothless tiger. they can, holds a strong speeches and condemn a, the attack on a ukraine or as the, the american say here, the invasion. but quite frankly, because of the possible vito of russia or china. it's, it's, it's very difficult for them to really come up with a resolution which might be changing the course of history at this very moment. so there is not a lot to be expected from the you and other than strong words. that's by the way, one reason why, for example, the former president, don

u. s. e u and the u. k. and the, the impact of financial measures on the economy. but now at, we have this news at the u. s. is going to sanction president bit in person a what there is there been any response the kremlin there was response that the kremlin knew this was coming in terms of increasing and strengthening the sanctions and the, the spokes warner for the foreign ministry here. she said the sanctions reflect the west's impotence and they were expecting this or they have as we already have reported a heavy oh wow chest, if you like, $631000000000.00 in cash reserves to sustain them. should there be, or should there be any sanctions it go won't sustain the economy forever, but it will provide a cushion for the beginning. so russian, ready for the ease. and of course, very unlikely to affect the behavior of the vladimir putin all those a close around him. and just wanted a point to ask you about barnett church there, sir. lang, coming in for from a spokesman for ukraine's present rodney zalinski saying that keith is ready to discuss as these higher and peac

the e u. the u. s. other countries have announced limited sanctions in response to russia's latest moves. what impact do you think if any, do you think the sanctions will have on russia? well, it's a mixed bag. terry. i think if you look at the european union sanctions, then they are lost. and in terms of your sanction, nearly 400 people, members of the russian duma that voted for the recognition of the republic. but on the other hand, it's not clear what kind of economic and technological sections the you is going to impose on. so on the line, i promised sound, but we still need to see that it as well. the american sanctions, well, the most, the one that hurts aloft or to some extent is a ban on any operations with russian sovereign debt put in was ready for it. they have a way of trying to at least bypass it, but borrowing will be hot and this is at a time will increase in inflation. what i think is higher and i think this was designed to her put in and his entourage directly. and these are personal s

after all, zalinski is basically said that although the e u, the u. s. nato say they said work ukraine, they've left it to fend for itself on this. and, and at the same time's lensky has been saying that they need to work towards peace . everything needs to be done to work towards an end to the bloodshed, but contradictory. he's also saying that people from europe, with military experience should come to ukraine and joined the ukrainian military to fight russia. yes, sir, william, you will be my advice if you have a combat experience in europe and do not want to look at the indecision of politicians. you can arrive in our state and protect europe with us, where it is now urgently required sharpie. now, as for where these negotiations are going to take place, it's still unclear. first, russia had suggested men, skin bella, roo, says a potential location, but key of then rejected that. came back with a counter offer of war saw in poland, but russia doesn't want to have them there. as for, as for right now, it's unclear, but actually a israel is the prim

she said that they are welcome in the e u that the e. u is prepared to accept them. she called them refugees, right from the beginning. there's no question that they need a safe place. well, their country is under attack. so yes, the european union says that it will help take care of these ukrainians who are fleeing the russian assault. that is a terry shult in brussels. many thanks to her that was the picture here in europe across the atlantic. u. s. president joe biden convened a meeting of his national security council. washington had already flap sanctions on russian banks, an oligarchy. now after the attack, even heavier penalties are on the way. who is the aggressor poon chose this war, and now he and his country will bear the consequences. 4 months we've been building a coalition of partners representing well, more than half the global economy. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars euro's pounds, and yet to be part of the global economy. let me say it again. our forces are not and will not be engaged in the conflict with russia in ukraine. ou

e. u and u. k. traffic come into place. so it's our welcome news for now, but it's definitely not plain sailing with the a u. k. economy in the larger context burg martin london. thank you. now, 2 years ago, m u s. e car maker tesla started building a factory outside of berlin. it is now ready to start rolling out new cars. but production is yet to start necessary permits buyer authorities are still pending. environmental robes and local residents had voiced concerns. for example, over the water consumption of the factory tesla ski factory outside berlin, the assembly lines are already warmed up, but authorities have yet to give the final go ahead. they're about to do so. but at a nearby lake, protesters are getting ready to voiced the concern. they worry about teslas, enormous water needs. and fear drinking water here could soon be in short supply. and that could effect not only this small town in brandenburg, but also the near by capital city monthly louisville. and you see it in the dry forest and says the berliner, i ha

u. s. together billions of dollars in weapons for ukraine to kill russians. so as a real proxy war going on here between the u. s. e u and russia ukrainians are in the middle. they're the ones that are the ones getting shot on. they're fighting and dying for the u. s. not for their own independence. mm. videos of what's appears to be in a missile at such are coming from the south of ukraine, where locals are reporting ongoing fighting. this next video purportedly shows an apartment building, allegedly hit by an overnights, rocky to talk in the north of the country. the lower floors were damaged, were a fire broke out, reports suggest one woman was injured, but the play, the blaze has been extinguished. so these on verified images are coming in from the ukranian capital where local, say air defense systems are actively operating. k of authorities said the city was surrounded then back down from that claim. now they're saying groups of russian sub it says are trying to bring chaos to the streets. russert ministry has dismissed involvement in these alleged actions. do the shift for a key of is flooded with armed gangs o

of the territory which is claimed by the separatist and then yes, can contain, as you know, the e u, the u. s. a number of other countries. the u. k. have announced limited sanctions against russia in response to its latest moves. do you think those sanctions are going to get most goes attention? well frankly, i think terry, the sanctions that got more attention. actually one point, ah, is the decision by chance a shot to freeze a cation sorry. i'm not going to get back like this is very serious. and not only because it's probably 11000000000 a loss of by moscow and building it. but because in the credit is on an important thing is for you to be ready to suffer for your principles to be taken serious. the rest of the sanctions that you mentioned still do not go up to that level. oh no, i would say that the u. s thank which deal with russia sovereign debt and with the children of some of the closest pollutants allies. some of the people that he's on the rush, they, she'd closer to home from the point you the credit of the summer and that look, it will be much more difficult for the russian

u. k and the e u. o. u. s. by the ship is okay, and you're in a union? well, it is a, it's a story about our relationship with of the, with in the countries u. k. us, european union. and of course we do have different relations with each of the states. but in the recent years, it has become the partnership, or we have no policy of deterrence, which is totally different containment deterrence. as these are wars which i know much more in ripley instead of a diplomacy dialogue partnership. and so we have to take our own position because we are of course, standing for continuation of partnership, but we cannot stand. we cannot accept this policy of containment and detours. so this is where, cuz i find that some european countries want to be less reliance on the us, france, and hungary for example. you know, we do see that of course some countries have, they do have bullish on their own. they don't want a standard approach of the in the standard that us, if i needed a here nonstandard ideas. the let us see a literacy about much of new thinking. so what we hav

peyton, so what one does, how the continent can fight the pandemic when this is the result from the e u e u, saying that they are all they are until they won't execute them to the frustration of the continent as a whole on the continent continues to be frustrated. we have heard from south african president silver. um, of course a who is attending that summit. he has said that he is called, what's happened in terms of the delivery of vaccines to the african continent. his call did vaccine or partake. he's also said that we're not in a position to take crumbs from the european table. and now it's time for us to be self sufficient. so the india, as well as other africa, have been at the forefront of fighting for this. peyton waiver. it isn't happening . and now instead, countries like south africa with various partners, a trying to manufacture their own vaccines using publicly available information to basically recreate existing vaccines. very similar to the motor. no one we've had the launch of a number of companies in south africa in recent months. and while that's happened, it may still tak

u. s, the e u and the u. k, they all seem to be trying to flex their power with sanction. that aim to cut off russian officials and companies from their access to us dollar transactions or even global trade markets. but are they likely to have much of an effect given that russia has spent years working to protect itself from actions just like bes, as we understood back when these sanctions began. and i'm thinking of only as far back as the 19 ninety's because it's been going on almost continuously since then. the answer to your really good question is an unambiguous. no. did russia withdraw from the crimea after 2014, when big sanctions were levied? know that the chinese change their international or local or domestic economic activities after trumpet them with tariffs and trade, war and sanctions. no. these activities are now routine and the ways to get around them and to escape them are equally routine. and i think most americans, if you ask yourself a simple question, how do you think we as a people would be affected if something we did for our national security was the

this of course happened as we knew, not just the e u, but the u. s. has oversee rained out a huge number of sanctions against russia as a result of that military action in ukraine. now, the russian embassy here in paris says it sent a note to the government asking for more details, and it says it's going to take the necessary measures to ensure that there is protection for all of the staff and crew above that particular vessel. but the details we know so far is at this vessel, it's around a 127 meters long. we're not sure what the cargo is, but apparently belongs to p s. b leasing at which is a company that is on the u. s. financial sanctions list, it's been taken to below and somewhere. and now the fate of that cargo ship will rest in the hands of the french courts. i ought to charlotte job and ski with the latest on this russian cargo vessel being seized in the english channel. thank you . but on the whole political and p r front, moscow is feeling the pressure, the e u. u. s. u k, announcing a raft of sanctions against russia following the delibera

like to read you this quote from russia's ambassador to the us responding to new sanctions from the e, u, u k, u s. and germany. he said, it is hard to imagine that there is a person in washington who expects russia to revise its foreign policy under a threat of restrictions. jeffrey edmonds have economic sanctions ever managed to stop an imminent military offensive. i don't think so, and they certainly will not stop russia at this point. in many ways the russians have lost the causal connection between sanctions, any kind of change in behavior. they think me, for example, if you're going to deter some one, the sanctions, they have to understand our choice, the russians think, where does union sanctions to weaken them? and also this is a core issue for proven. there's a legacy issue here. and so, and they also have, i think, a, a overly optimistic view of how well rushing the russian economy, which is kind of a war footing right now, how well it can survive section. so i don't think this is going to stop him role. in fact, china is a foreign ministry recently pointed out that since 2011, th

e u countries in the u. k. a and so forth and so on. right? i still some say, as biden announced all these sanctions you were just talking about. but he still rules out military intervention. some say put in has nothing to fear. what you may want to be is lot to fear. again, keep in mind the, the biggest fear he should have is that ukraine would be the working pine that is very difficult to digest. i was just at the munich security conference was great to be back in germany by the way and, and in that trip, what i found was the greatest solidarity among nato members and others actually that i've seen since i went there as young, major as a speech writer for the supreme allied commander during the cold war, did putin help nato? of course he did. he is the greatest gift to nato. since the end of the cold war, you know, he set out to make russia great. again, what he's really done is make nato great again, by his actions that, that threat has unified nato in a way that it hasn't been again since the walk him down, the warsaw pact and the soviet u
