russia and how important we find them. i do hope that we will have a chance to talk about our corporation at the un security council because both the u. k and russia are permanent members of this most important body of the united nations. and there is special responsibility is incumbent upon us to take measures to ensure international security, as well as international stability. i'm hopeful that we will pay greater attention when we speak about international matters to these tasks, to these objectives that allow us to constructively join our efforts to gather, instead of trying to fuel some artificially fabricated problems that come to dominate our dialect, to the detriment of the real tasks that we need t pursue and resolve in the interests of peace and stability on this planet. thank you. oh, good morning. good morning. minister oliver often i have discussed some very serious issues to day that have a bearing on the future peace and stability of europe. as i have said, there is still time for russia to end its aggression towards ukraine and pursue the path of diplomacy. but nato is very clear. if that path is not chosen, there will b

u. k. and russia in most guy, despite escalating tensions of ukraine. workman's threats to impose the quote, the toughest sanction the gate with russia's biggest gazing team waits for offices on doping allegations at the winter olympics. the i o. c, cause it kills speculation, while the probes ongoing, as the app needs victory, metals in the palace. also ahead. why he would put aside the pandemic, why he would try to stigmatize canadians. why did you do this to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many of his policy for the canadian prime minister take the barrels of criticism for his stones against dante vaccine mandate demonstrates is as the protest and 230 day ah, hello and welcome this is are see international with the latest world news update is great to happy with assist our now russians. foreign minister stays most goes, concerns expressed to british cons, partley's trust that fell on deaf ears as they met in moscow to discuss rising tensions over the ukraine on the u. case threats to impose quote, the toughest sanctions against moscow. those julian, tim, stil

u. k and russia have been at their low, are at their lowest point than they, as they have been for many, many years already. the u. k. foreign office says it's putting together a fail to extend the reach of possible sanctions. that it, that london could put against russia. the u. k. put 1000 troops on, on high alert for a potential russian invasion that moscow was time. and time again denied that it's planning to do. and just yesterday, course johnson met with nato to discuss the possible the possibility of doubling the amount of british troops that are in europe near russia's borders. so of course, those are reflections of the current state of relations between the 2 countries. but while it's actually at the, at the press conference seems to try and play down a lot of all the, a lot. a lot of this stuff actually. he said that, you know, britain doesn't have that many military advisors in ukraine and that there are trainings are going to be done soon and that he would continue. he also reassured the public that he's going to be continuing working towards diplomacy and that and that he wa

channel taken off that because as the letter reads, r t, as part of russia's global this information campaign. and that it's essential the u . k. limits russia spread of state propaganda at home. so it is interesting to see a cabinet member, a high, high, high politician here in the u. k. weighing and despite the problem is the same. it's not as a job on politicians to weigh in such matters and if they do so well, the u. k. would be as bad as russia, but 2 things really are quite striking in all of this fancy. the fact that i'm calling for our kids to be shut down in the 1st quite a slippery slope, specifically about free speech as a fundamental principle, u. k. held itself on the fundamental principles of free speech, the right to tell all sides of the same story and encouraging the british public to engage in critical thinking and not just accepting of the u. k. government line. secondly, though, for that matter, is this an issue of state sponsorship because if it is an issue of state sponsorship, then we have to look at the b, b. c dot to is sponsored by the state. by the way, just to mention last year, when china bomb the

u. k and russia in most guy, despite escalating tensions that ukraine, workman's threats to impose the quote, toughest sanctions against smotts with rushes biggest gazing team weights for answers on doping allegations at the winter olympics. the i o. c, cause it all speculation mother probes ongoing as the athletes victory metals in the palace. oh, so i had why he would put aside the pandemic, why he would try to stigmatize canadians. why did you do this to a country that is already suffering and deeply damaged by so many of his policies.

u. k. weighing in despite the prime minister saying it's not the job of politicians to weigh in in such matters. and if they do so well, the u. k. would be as bad as russia, the 2 things really are quite striking in order 1st, i see the fact that cooling fox to be shut down in the 1st place, quite a sip. so specifically about free speech as a fundamental principle. the u. k. held itself on the fundamental principles of free speech, the right to tell all sides of the same story, any current thing, the british public to engage in critical thinking and not just accepting of the u. k. government line. secondly, though, for that matter, is this an issue of state sponsorship because if it is an issue of state sponsorship, then we have to look at the b, b. c dot to is sponsored by the state. by the way, just to mention last year when china band, the bbc world service that was early last year in 2021, the u. k. government slammed that move as an unacceptable tailing of media freedom . they with the headlines at the time. so it does seem somewhat a hypocritical at this point, of course has now released the statement confirming it will not hesitate to step in and

and don't yet by the u. s. u. k. and e. u to russia may amount to $700000000.00 because of the 3 and a half 1000000 barrels of russian oil. $350000000.00 of oil and refined products. $250000000.00, russian natural gas to learn a medium called new. absolutely. right. and we are seeing the numbers going through the roof. you're absolutely right. we are seeing numbers at the moment, going to the roof oil going through the roof. the ruble went down. it seems to have boyd itself back up to a certain extent, but action returns to the host of our program going on to ground. i wish i had more time. i don't see you soon. what is important to understand the men's agreements applies to both sides of the crate and conflict to withdraw weapons from the front line. now thousands of civilians live in the so called gray zone as well on whitting witnesses and ultimately victims of the ongoing conflict. we're going to bring you their stories right now. here in archie international. it's worth having a good watch. in a gray zone. inhabitants have learned

u. s. and the u. k. have warned, and russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable to pay more saxon powers of war. russia talks about security oh, driven by dream shaped bankers and those with theirs sinks. we dare to ask join me as the thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking the guess of the world politics. sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah, i got more of a headline news now. canada's prime minister is feeling the hate after m. p. 's rounded on him for triggering never before used emergency powers to deal with an ongoing protest by truck drivers against vaccine mandates. candidates opposition leader told him it would have been better if he just stayed at his cottage where he was accused of fleeing to when the protest 1st flared up. isn't it true that the prime minister's actions could serve to actually make things worse and not make things better? keeping canadians safe, protecting their communities and neighborhoods, and ensuring jobs a

u. s. and the u. k. have warned that russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians have made it abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. the anglo saxon powers talk of war. russia talks about security. ah, discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guess, ivan ellen in washington. he's a senior fellow at the independent institute in kingston. we have nichol, i petro, he is a professor of political science at the university of rhode island. and here in moscow we have maxine scoff, he is director of the center for advanced american studies at moscow state institute of international relations. originally cross that rules and the fact that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate it. i would start, i would look like, you know, it's really interesting to me watching this on a month long, imminent invasion, a messaging from the u. k. in the u. s. everybody is talking about arrested invasion of ukraine except for ukraine in russia or not. i mean, how do you explain yeah, clearly president zelinski and his

and the u. s. u k and russia were to guarantee the sovereignty of ukraine. and now we're seeing negotiations with iran. also north korea's nuclear power. this also a sense of a very negative message that if you give up your nuclear weapons saying you might be re absorbed like what's happening with ukraine. being absorbed by moscow puts a point when we look back in 2014, russia was a cause successful in taking over territory from ukraine. the crimea. would you say the circumstances this time on different could be, have a different outcome this time? yes, the certain things are very different because of the crucible of war. we forget, you know, we should remind ourselves that for 14 year, since 2014, there has been a war going on for 8 years. 14000 people have died. and so this has made, you can even more pro nato, so the people who support it. russ, actually because of this period of war and the weakening of the ukrainian economy. this has created a desire to move closer to the west. not be so close to russia, so i think that is kind of a boomerang to on, on

u. k. to ukraine. the british defense secretary is lashed out at president food and over his recognition of the dumbass republics. but wallace, who's a former soldier, went as far as just u. k. could even fight russia. and when i think it did just that's in the crimean war, by the way it is consistent publication as far as i was concerned, ever since the fall of the soviet union when there was talk about helping russia. in fact, what, what was actually happened is consistent attempts to try me sort of clamped down a russia, push the boundaries back, incorporate many former soviet countries into the nato. and it was talk quite recently of bringing the ukraine into nato as a consistent hypocrisy in the way that russia is treated by comparison. if you think of china, china and it's doing all sorts of things that the westwood saying is, is unacceptable. but in fact, nothing happens in the way of sanctions fall from it. that is more business been done that has been done with the russian defense ministry has given its response to been was said, accused him of mythology, analyzing the crime in war and advise seem to be more careful with historical facts . now with life become increasingly dangerous and on

and we focused, of course, on relations between russia and the u. k. are these relations sir? leave much to be desired. they are at the lowest point over the past few years, and this is not our fault. i will not dwell on that, but i would like to say that this is russia stance for normalizing rashid k relations. was improving those relations and returning them to normal and business like kind of partnership. and of course, that's only possible based on the principles of a mutual respect, respect for each other's legitimate interest in this, in iowa. equal rights are whereas ultimatums, threats and imposing one's own conditions own your thought. now is a loss that will lead nowhere. this has to be a 2 way street. after all. do i'd like to say that again, if we act based owner had our national interest and based on the need for both sides to have value added from their contacts than our tre turnover is a good example in november and december, last year we saw so that sir, it has been the same as in 2020 over $20000000000.00. $20000000.00 and russia and the u. k. continue to corp

and wallace who's a former soldier. what as far as suggesting the u. k. could even fight russia and when claiming it did just that in the crimean war, by the way it is consistent publication is concerned ever since the fall or the soviet union when there was talk about helping russia. in fact, what, what was actually happened is consistent attempts to try and sort of clamp down on russia, push the boundaries back, incorporate many former soviet countries into nato. and there was talk quite recently of bringing the ukraine into in tomato there is a consistent hypocrisy in the way that russia is treated by comparison. if you think of china, china and is doing all sorts of things that the west would be saying is, is unacceptable. but in fact, nothing happens in the way of sanctions fall from it. there's more business been done that has been done with and so with life becoming increasingly dangerous and complicated, and don bass due to the ongoing shelling that people have been fleeing to russia. we visited one of the temporary accommodation centers and spoke with just a few of the

u. s. and the u. k. of warren and russia may invade ukraine. and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians submitted abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable to pay hello saxon powers, off of war. russia talks about security. it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed. mom miss called a little chill the month to what the nuclear you talk. so shown where you also trust one color. tom ukraine was one of the independent states that emerged from the ruins of a super about new or somebody. would you also get on the ball greens? come on board, surely confusing semester yet, and less new lease in west energy or better one more law or else what is a is a special for it? a new company. watch the past 3 decades. been likely ukraine. eye witnesses recall the events. this would be more or less of judiciary with what i knew the more to know if that order. i'm not sure, but i did that for months with no idea what else and what other forces were at play . you have to do so to whom you show in sure machine, those them you are out in the clear water. i'm a

u. k. and the us just a bottle that the e u chief is said that these sanctions have been drawn up to hurt russia. this asset freezes and travel bands and prohibition on making funds available to 7027 rather high profile russian entities that incidentally born for every member you states, just take you through some of the most high profile, the sig, a show you do. the defense minister maria's, however, the spokesman spokeswoman rather for the foreign ministry, she has labeled the sanctions as illegitimate course. they target anybody who had anything to do materialistic or otherwise with the supporting the independence of your hands. and then yes. and there's also going to be restrictions on the russian government ability to raise funds in e u markets, the expectation as well. these sanctions of the will be more sanctions, foreign ministers of the e. you will be meeting on friday and saturday. some members of the e, you said to be wanting big bang sanctions. we can only guess what that means, but it doesn't sound very good. it doesn't sound like it's going to be something that is not very, very fr

mythologized, the 19th century, try me in war and getting a fax model that's off the band was reached back into history. this is just the u. k. could fight russia. and when by the way it is consistent publication as far as concern ever since the fall of the soviet union when there was talk about helping russia. in fact, what, what was actually happened is consistent attempts to try and sort of clamp down a russia, push the boundaries back, incorporate many former soviet countries into the nato and was talk quite recently of bringing the ukraine into nato. is there is a consistent hypocrisy in the way that russia is treated by comparison. if you think of china, china and it's doing all sorts of things that the westwood saying is, is unacceptable. but in fact nothing happens in the way of sanctions fall from it. that is more business been done that has been done with russia as a matter to us. i see trying to stop shelling on bass republic saying they've been relentlessly attacking the region for 8 years. so you'd have been just spoke a couple of hours ago at an emergency general assembly session on the ukraine crisis. for those 8 years, kias cont

russia ordered piece capers into dumbass, the u. s. delicate branded it an unprovoked violation of ukraine solver and see while the u. k. warned of fresh sanctions. russia un ambassador criticized those reactions as highly emotional and reiterated that moscow is focus, is on the avoidance of war. or joining me in the studio now is r p 's danny armstrong, thanks for coming in again, donnie. so we had a range of accusations coming from the west that how did things unfold that security council meeting? yes. so what we're seeing is more of the same, really at the un security council that met in new york course. the, the reason why convened in its emergency meeting with russia, sending those peacekeepers into the regions of hans and don. yes, which he has recognized as independence. now it's no surprise that we see the usual suspects who have played that role in the ukraine crisis over the past months received from matt, from the west, the u. k. in the u. s. you've been promising sanctions against russia and against that, those recognize newly recognized republics. we heard that from joe biden, yesterday, he was want to pla

and well for months, the u. s. in the u. k. have warned that russia may invade ukraine, and yet there has been no invasion for their part. the russians have made it abundantly clear. europe's current security arrangement is untenable. the anglo saxon powers talk of war. russia talks about security ah.

u. s. u and the u. k. are taking against russia right now. what do we know and do we know what exactly is being cut off from the switch payment system so far? well, over the weekend, the us european allies in canada, they agreed to cut off key russian banks from the swift messaging system which connects more than $11000.00 banks. now this is a very significant move, and it means that there's going to be an enormous scramble for dollars in russia. and now russia over the past several years, they've a mass, a huge war, chest of some $630000000000.00 in foreign reserves, which is at its highest level ever right now. so this war chest will help it to withstand sanctions and losses and export revenue. however, if some of those assets are frozen, that changes the calculations for russia, because by cutting it off from swift, it'll make it near impossible for the central bank of russia to liquidate those assets. so now with this move, russia cannot deploy a good part of that $600000000000.00 that has been carefully building up. and this means that it

u. s. is stopping russia from importing high tech products. and along with the u. k is targeting russian banks and oligarchs marsh's national airline airflow has also been banned from british air space. and they've been protests against the invasion around the world, including in russia itself, where police have detained more than $1400.00 protest, as in dozens of cities. but we want to begin 1st with this report from algae, there is andrew simmons. he is in the ukranian capital kev. ah, the russian invasion was lost with terrifying speed and against a wide range of targets. right across the country. a long military build up around it. cranes borders finally unleashed fivefold roof . the kremlin alone helicopter gunship fighter jets miss isles tanks, convoys of armored vehicles are all involved in what russia calls a military operation. for the moment the targets appeared to be specific and strategic. they include ukraine's airfields and military bases. this video from really to poll in southern ukraine, appears to show the destruction of the cities airfield, with sh

expand its economic cooperation with russia to offset some of the negative effects of the session and post on russia by the west. because china's exports to the u and the u. k. combined almost 10 times greater than those to russia with increasing restrictions on technology transfer and chinese investment and coles to reduce supply chain dependence on china. chinese economy could face sanctions from europe if it becomes too supportive of who teen over a ukraine. china tries to not be seen as taking a clear sight while it's economy is facing new downward pressure. and we have actually heard people during comparisons between the relationship between russia and ukraine and that of china and taiwan. how does that comparison go down where you are almost how many people feel for the situation in ukraine, and it's people's desire to maintain is serenity. and people here are watching closely if the united states and is l. i will help you friend, to stop the russian invasion with a psychological projection of a military crisis in the town went straight. though most people don't think that china would launch a war against high one. if a rustle, ukrainian war breaks ou
