like this at the e u parliament, where the ukranian president received a standing ovation for all that's been going on. doesn't matter if you think he's a hero or a shrill, he's standing up for his country on his side of the fight. so lensky urging the you to quote, prove you're with us. well then you had moments later when russian foreign minister sergey lab rob was about to speak, nearly all western countries walked out, not listening to a word. he said, where is it gonna see when you're not even gonna listen? though the poker see is so thick and all of this. no one is scott free, not russia, not ukraine, not china, not india, not germany, not italy. you get the picture. everyone's got a history. what above all, the united states is far from anything perfect. or just frankly, why a small number of us who have followed the true history of the united states and ukraine were confused. why confused? was thought to give you some insight from the desk of our 43rd president. quote russians attack on ukraine constitutes the greatest security crisis on the european continent since world war 2.

and as the west looks to hit russia where it hurts the country's oligarchy, and their lack of yachts are becoming targets for yet more e u. sanction. and we take you to yemen where the effects of the war and ukraine are being felt. and this in cost of wheat. i'm chelsea delaney and berlin. welcome to the show. is russia about to default audits? debts, ratings agency, phish says so the firm has downgraded russia, sovereign debt rating from b to c, pushing russian bonds further into junk territory to other raging ratings agencies standard and poors. and moodies took similar steps last week. the agencies think that russia has little motivation to pay a sovereign debt and might be unable to service the payments at all. after all the countries foreign reserves of around $600000000000.00 have been frozen due to international sanctions. meanwhile, the rule is in free fall, having lost 40 percent of its value since russia began its war and ukraine and payment lines are approaching fast on a current debt load of $49000000000.00. russia has to pay $100000000.00 on the 16th of march and other $2000000000.00 is due on april. 4th, it

we begin tonight at the european union, where e u. lawmakers are weighing in on slapping more sanctions against russia as the conflict and ukraine rages on. for a more in depth look at what could be in store. here's our t, charlotte davinsky and paris. views this war in ukraine from very different i used to how it's being seen in moscow. we know that you is said to be preparing even more sanctions against russia in the wake of this war. this invasion as they describe in you, in ukraine. and they said that the sanctions have already had a massive impact on the russian economy. we know that the rubel has tanked in the last few days and that there are many people trying to get hold of a savings that banks and saying that they can't do that. however, the euro pins have also wound that the sanctions while they are heating russia right now. that will be a sense of them also heating he in europe as well. this is what those sort of underline have to say. i am well aware that the sanctions will come at a cost following me too. i know this, and i want to speak honestly to the people of europe. we

what the commission will now do is it's a little compiling index where it will assess e u, member states that will access their existing burden. it will assess their capacity, publish that and, and hope that the member states will step up and do their bits. now part of this is also about incentivizing an e u member states or rather, incentivizing and refugees, ukraine, refugees. why in poland to come to the states or the u commission as encourage member states to do that because for a lot of the craner refugees they prefer to be in poland. right now it's closer to home. the assimilation is much easier because the language is, are closer and very to most chances are that people do know somebody in poland. so part of that is also going to be having a new member states actively go out and reach out to ukrainian refugees and give them some incentives to, to come to their territories as well. the european union is also going to be working with it's with 3rd countries. we're talking about the u. s. which on about the united kingdom are talking about canada. so as to share the load at the peak

u. s. president biden travels to poland and meets with american nato troops station near the border with ukraine. he's coming off a trip to brussels, where he sealed an energy deal with e u. and the fridays for future movement takes to the streets with protests across the globe. we'll look at the link between the climate crisis and the war in ukraine. ah, i'm nicole fairly who welcome to the program. rush, us military claims. it has successfully completed what it calls the 1st stage of its military operation in ukraine. the army says it will now focus on gaining control of ukraine's eastern don bass region where it has besieged cities like har . keith and mario poll, leaving them in russia has based major resistance in the 1st month of its invasion, which western officials say was aimed at toppling ukraine's electric government and installing a puppet regime. graham says 15000 russian soldiers have died in the war. though the figure released by moscow is much lower our corresponding economy is in cave and send us this analysis on the russian military briefing. i think they're putting a bray face on some pretty disappointing military results here. all the russian state

and it's here, i hear about many people coming back from the e u where they were on, on, on, on labor migration. now they are back the man and they're ready to fight. when you talk about the deliberate targeting of civilians, is that something that you've seen yourself as an eye witness? well, i've seen it in key when i was still a key of i've seen reports, but i have all the friends in all the city which i mentioned and they are, i witnesses, they are telling me what's going on there. apart from all that bit of footage, we get out of the confirmations on what's going on and that's enough to believe that this business cannot be, you know, manufacturer somewhere in a studio. this is real thing. 3 lives i've taken place. maternity hospitals have been hit regular hospitals, i hit historic buildings, i destroyed. this is barbaric by barrick destruction of the country. i don't know how many years will need to, to repair and rebuilt it, but russia will be paying the reparations, and they will have to take care of the back of the brunt that we are not bearing. yeah, i mean, the images that w

u. s. i very hard. sanctions increasing sanctions. the oil gas embargo where at which the e u especially is not there yet. we've been hearing about it a lot is it's worth repeating. the european union is incredibly dependent on russia for its energy. something like 40 percent of russia's. uh, excuse me, your opinions gas comes from russia. whereas the united states is something like 3 per cent. the u. s. is also, of course, its own major exporter and producer of natural gas. i'm very much what the e was going through now with its dependency on russia and the political geo political problems. it's causing the u. s. face 2025 years ago. after $911.00, this dependency on arab oil and how it was fueling extremism and fueling instability in the middle east. we're seeing now how petro euros going to russia is fueling instability here in europe. and the us did by enlarge get off or, or lower its dependence on arab oil and gas. now the question is, can the european union do the same thing with russia, right, so by the end, the u. e. u, finding themselves in totally different situati

u. s. leader also expected to meet nato soldiers. earlier biden was in brussels, where he announced he struck a deal with the e. u. aiming to reduce europe's reliance on russian guests under the agreement, the u. s. and other nations will increase natural gas exports to europe by an extra 15000000000 cubic meters this year. man, prison. i know i know good lemay russian gas will have cost for europe. but it's not only the right thing to do from a moral standpoint, is kind of put us on a much stronger strategic footing. and i am proud to announce that we've also reached another major breakthrough and transfer data flows. privacy and security are key elements of my digital agenda. and today we agreed to unprecedented protections for data privacy, security for our citizens. the sanctions are now working their way deep into the russian system, draining put ins, resources to finance this atrocious war. i'll work on sanctions also shows that when we act together with stronger and we really can make a difference. and we are continuing to reinforce our corporation in many strategic ways. o r diplomatic editor james bass

e u cracking up. you're going to c e u countries now beginning to flake off and start head a more to eastward because that's where the market is going to be. it's not going to be in the u. s. and they're going and looking at michael, i would, i would add to that and this was my own particular thing here. i think it's dig, do use blankets, word over used and abused word values because there's a lot of conservative people in eastern europe and there they don't like this woke, is them from brussels and all of that. i think all of this add together here. caleb, let me go to you. i mean a, this is the great separation right now and you know what? personally, i'm not against it. okay. i actually been talking about it, particularly with michael on this program for years. that this is a separation that's going to have to happen. it started go ahead and new or in, or will wall street in london. very much want to keep the world poor so that they can stay rich. it's about dominating the mark. they can't stand the fact russia as big oil and gas rewards or saying competition with wall street in london, oil and energy companie

w correspondent, barbara vessel in the sy where the informal e. u summit took place. barbara, the a you latest, decided on a big policy change on energy and defense. he was the biggest shift this actually is a quantum leap for the european union because they had to acknowledge that all their political doctrines there. i, john jeez, and their beliefs throughout the last 10, maybe even 20 years, were simply wrong. they thought that the world was a reliable place was their neighbors, like russia, being closely tied to europe by trade and by financial a ties. and this has proven to be horribly untrue, say their security is seriously threatened. so they have to sort of re formulate everything energy policy. it means that they will try to get off russian oil and gas. they want to diminish it by to 3rd, till the end of the year defense. they have a found out and, and sort of really noticed that the actually defenseless, without american troops that russia could egress a war. it's not a war of aggression against them as well. theoretically, so they will now have a common defe

e, u. r. a. there are different formats where nato allies address the needs and to strengthen energy security. and that reduced depends on, on law, on the, on russian or, and gas, or message to china is that they should join the rest of the world and clearly calm them ah, the brutal war against the ukraine, and not support a russia and either or with her or whether economic support or of course not with the military support. he will go to into fact ukraine, lady in the 2nd row. in general news agency inter fox ukraine. i would like to ask you if up bullish leadership would add to the table today for discussion as a proposal to send peacekeeping mission to ukraine. and if yes, oh, what kind of discussion it was, and that is a re some conclusion. thank you. as we discussed, a wide range of issues on the message is that we have to stand united and also that we need to provide support that ukraine. but at the same time, we have a responsibility thing and to ensure that this conflict do not become a full fledged war between nato and russia. on the on that sol, susan, why allies? i'm a decatur to, w

u. s. president visits the nato ally and meets with american troops station near the border with ukraine is coming off a trip to brussels, where he announced an energy deal with the e. u. and fridays for future movement takes to the streets with protests across the globe will look at the link between the climate crisis and the war and ukraine. and fighting for your brain by feeding those spleen war in his country. if i take the gun, i will delay just for one of the worst soldiers in the world. but if i take a knife and go to the kitchen, i can be one of the best in the world. one of ukraine's best known shafts tells us how he is quite literally serving his country. ah, i am abby courthouse and welcome to the program. as russia says, it's completed 1st phase of this war, the ukraine military pushing moscow's troops back and retaking territory around the capital. the united kingdom says ukraine has reclaimed several towns near keith. still more civilian deaths have been confirmed. local officials and mary, all bull say 300 people died in the russian attack on a theater last week. the russian word for children appeared outside the theatre in hopes of preventing an att

u. s. e. lead is continued the summit and hit a major friction point over where the government should not be allowed to intervene in the market to cut energy prices, which is soaring for their citizens. now, just hours after agreeing on that new energy deal with the u. s. president joe biden travel to poland is now in the capital warsaw after spending time. here the border with ukraine. there he met with polish president on j duda. the south eastern city of joshua is where the u. s. military serves alongside polish troops as part of nato biden. we'll have more talk to do that this weekend on the military, humanitarian and economic response to russia's war on you crank. and speaking at a briefing with president duda and military officials, biden was clear about what he thinks is the way forward. the single most important thing that we can do is keep democracy. united in our opposition effort to devastation occur in quite frankly. ready with well w barbara hazel explains what signal the american president is hoping to send it with his visit to europe. the message is absolutely clear, he has pa

e u summit has ended. now any results you can tell us about at this point, where we haven't had any press conferences after this late ending of the european council. some it is we heard in that report. it has been a marathon day of tools and i think the need is now just want to get the head stein and the summit will continue where they will discuss energy pricing on friday. and it's going to be an important day as we heard, this is a specific issue there. a big divisions among you countries about what sanctions should go further on. i one person that we did hear from on his way out from the summit, just a quick comment was the dutch prime minister ma rita. he said that they all continuing to discuss sanctions additional, this 5th round of sanctions against russia. but that they didn't have any specific details of what those sanctions would include during this 1st day of the to day e u summit. let's talk energy the e wants to become obviously more independent from russian supplies and the west could become instrumental in that endeavor when deals are being struck behind the scenes there and brussels. well t

e u. u. s. president joe by and travel to poland, near the border with ukraine, where he met with polish president on j do down in the south eastern city of joshua . it's a home to a u. s. air base where the u. s. military serves alongside polish troops, as part of nato. mister vine will next travel on to the polish capital. warsaw for more talks on the west, military humanitarian and economic response to russia's war on ukraine. and speaking at that very meeting with president duda and military officials, mister bind was clear about what he thinks was the way forward, and what he thinks of latin reputed take lesson. the single most important thing that we can do is keep the democracies united in our opposition, our effort, tokyo devastation occurring in quite frankly, because walk legal definition. well, he was present job i and they're speaking a little while ago now, a ukrainian runner who fled her country last month to day one, the jerusalem marathon and anti nebraska left ukraine with her 11 year old daughter . our husband, whose incidentally also her coach, stayed behind. she told the w said

obviously you've had situations in the u a recently are and as well where you this potentially flying over nuclear power regionally constructed nuclear power from the u. e. so i think people are aware of the risks and as i said, few japan has spent a considerable billions of us dollars putting in and peter's protection around the reactor. we're around this reactive buildings in japan. so i think there is an awareness here recently of the risks associated with that and, and the u. a as well. i think there is because of the drone attacks around your facilities around there and that part of the world. so much of a really good to get your thoughts and your analysis. thank you very much. indeed for talking to us don't well, earlier russia and ukraine made their 1st hints of progress and talks agreeing on the need for humanitarian car doors. but there's no indication yet of when they'd be established to help civilians escape the war. and even as the negotiators met, russian forces continued to surround and bombard cities and towns like this one. just outside the capital, keith, thousands of thought have been killed or wounded since russia invaded just over a

e u has had so many problems of poland about. so while we're seeing these 2 parallel and contrasting situations where poland is being held up as so important for nato and western solidarity, but the same time e, u officials and biden administration, officials are cautioning not to forget all these other darker things. all these other, more critical aspects of poland, not let that slip away and hold them to account. right, well, moving on a little bit to this unprecedented show of unity that we've seen among western allies. and that's resulted as well in some pretty big shifts in policy. we don't need to look too far. germany, of course being one of those countries tell us a little bit more about that. yeah, we are definitely in a new or many. we've already seen this massive shift on defense spending, which, you know, after decades of germany shying away from hard power for military power will soon have if the bonus tag approves, it will soon have the largest military budget in europe after for so many years, dragging its feet military spending getting criticized for not spending enough run out modernizing its forces. it's about t

just get out my washing n e y, a boat will save people in russia. spa starts u d, but we'll save people in ukraine where i see nobody will say people cry who you would have spa cycle d up push them. yet louder is one of the russians who fled the country to berlin. he wrote a well known blog calling for sustainable development of his home city, chile ovens after russia's invasion of ukraine. you took a critical stance and was hit with serious consequences when you may breski brazil my friends and relatives started writing that i was taking the position of an enemy or to state for. yeah, i was aghast. just devastated. yeah, blew up a special for the 1st time in my life though, i felt like i was in danger of physical violence because of my views up with almost the up us also sto, lewd and that's what people were threateningly with in the comments they wrote up with and putting speech with rosen as a result near video, yet quickly packed his things and drove to the e. u to estonia. in his car, his friends in berlin had taken him in for the time being. now his future and his plans are both uncertain. me yo m

no one knows where the russia will enact its threat and turn off the top completely. that's why the e u wants to become independent of russian gas as quickly as possible. re power e u is the new strategy. it relies on many different energy suppliers, including wind, solar energy, and electricity from bio gas. renewables give us the freedom to choose an energy source that is clean, cheap, reliable, and ours. and instead of continuing to fund fossil fuel impulse and fund russian oligarchs, renewables create new jobs here in europe. by the end of the year, the e u wants to replace 2 thirds of russian gas imports. the war in ukraine shocked europe . now it's rapidly accelerating the use energy transition. dora greener energy sources, o. 3, the window of his office may a hands peter hess can looks out on to one of europe's largest gas storage facilities. it's operated by a gas prom subsidiary in the municipality of yen gum deep in northern germany. the gas export supply the kremlin with revenue. it can use for war deutsch desert, discern creek, thousands of people and now dying on this wall.

e. u and the u. n. sam bas ravi reports from krakow, where volunteers are working around the clock. a peerless path to poland is only the beginning refugees from the war and ukraine. keep going exhausted, they begin another difficult journey. ah many poor trains leaving eastern poland, not knowing where their last stop will be. one woman, overwhelmed, tired, barely able to speak, said she left her whole family back in ukraine. her husband is fighting and the war children are carrying for her elderly mother who is too old to leave carrying what little she can. she's heading west, hoping to find work, perhaps a new home for her family. when we met her on the train, she said she had not slept in for days when you guys going back to her job in warsaw, after volunteering at the border board, she was mostly greeting refugee or somebody yesterday. so one with ground some i'm sure grinding. so i've said to her and we were talking a little bit, i don't know ukrainian language, it's similar to polish language. so she was talking about or found me or have her home that she has left now. so the

u. s e. and about the warrior in the city on the policy is you want talk where yeah, give me what was what they did a little should he done boss? not on bus associate or any kind of reasoning them come on to a premier chair or j studios. yes. yes, marshall. tom mccoy m u m l z julia ukrainian home. he is diverse. there is a huge void between nationalist volunteer battalions and the ukraine.

e. u. yeah, absolutely. in a european parliament where outside not just the u flag, but the ukrainian flag flying ukrainian flag in the parliament chamber and many of the european m. p. 's art wearing also ukrainian flag and ukrainian t shirts with ukranian fly. i'm a real show of solidarity from the parliament from the european institutions to ukraine in president. we've got a long standing ovation here. he certainly heard the right words, and i think he's had a great deal of support. more than perhaps some would have expected in terms of sanctions, even though you decided to send weapons a pang over $500000000.00 for weapons that they're going to send to ukraine. some will question whether those are actually going to get there in time given the developments on the, on the ground and that military convoy heading towards key right now. all of that is good. but the thing that the ukranian president wants is and he signed a decree 24 hours ago as a fast track of ukrainian membership, all the european union. again, he had the right words coming from shaw. michelle, the president of the european council, and us liv

no, it comes as the e u says it has to stand in solidarity with ukraine as this war plays out. we are able to get it to where we treat lee and to decide death sanctions. we message constituencies for russia, but also to be honest, it will have a just for us. but the secretion of convictions is attrition of democratic principles. the depression of international law. well, the you is using a special sanctions regime to bypass the ordinary media licenses. that applies to give you an example. artie from assist the station was given a renewed license to boot cost in france just back in 2020. but despite that under the sanctions regime that can be taken off immediately. now our t francis denounced the action saying that this is simply censorship. the decision to banner channel, which currently has $176.00 employees, including more than $100.00 journalist, is a violation of the rule of law and goes against the very principles of freedom of speech. nothing can justify the censorship. now there has been criticism of that decision, not just by one union of journalists, but also by the president of serbia. of course, s

e, u. r. a. there are different formats where nato allies address the needs and to strengthen energy security on that reduced depends on, on law, on the, on russian order and gas. or a message to china is that they should join the rest of the world and clearly calm them are the brutal war against the ukraine, and not support a russia and either with or, or whether economic support or, of course not with military support. you will go to into fact ukraine lading the 2nd row in general news agency, inter foxy crane. i would like to ask you if we're polish leadership would enter table to day for discussion. so proposal to sent this keeping mission to ukraine, and if yes, oh, what kind of discussion it was, and that is the re some conclusion. thank you. as we discussed, a wide range of issues on the message is that we have to stand united and also that we need to provide support that ukraine. but at the same time, we have responsibility then. and to ensure that this conflict do not become a full fledged war between natal and russia. on the on that sol, susan, why allies? i'm educated, we will not dep

e u. and thus subvert the sanctions. so, difficult situation for china, i think you know where you could say they want to be neutral. but this is difficult because that it's not always a sanctions i engineer and i don't think china will want to lose its connection with the rest of the world. economically, it's not a big problem for them to lose their connection with russia. so it's a, it's, it's a big political issue. it's not really an economic issue for china. chinese companies face a dilemma in the sanctions game. if they supply russia, the goods which the e u has banned, they could face difficulties in the u. s. cloud as she not, and also i believe that china has a great interest in not jeopardizing trade relations with the west. we are a much more important market in the e. u and in north america than russia is in every sectors damn thing. in the end of the sanctions tough enough to achieve their goal, they have massive consequences for the ordinary lives of ordinary people in russia are supposed to have political consequences. how far the booth none of us know is club augustus. i don't believe that sanctions w
