u. s. broke from the u. s. from the u. k. from the u . russia promises a strong response, but vladimir putin also says moscow is always open to diplomacy, make signals everywhere. and if you want to know what sends the market slower and keeps traitors, hangups it's uncertainty. and these are just, these are just some very uncertain times for the markets that was james sweeney in new york. thank you so much. you're welcome. while still sticking with that topic, i markets tend to shake at the spectre of war. so what do we make of the relatively sanguine response we saw earlier to day as western nations trotted out their arsenal of sanctions against russia, while from rising oil prices to ongoing inflation, there are a lot of factors to consider right now relief instead of panic on the international financial markets. com returned on wednesday, investors are apparently hoping this week's initial sanctions against russia will leave room for avoiding further escalation. we have to, i will give laws and also i have the impression th

u . k, from the u. s. from turkey and other allies in order to defend itself against russian aggression. and it would not give up without a fight. and if the demand from moscow or that ukraine becomes a de miller to rise area, clear, really, this is not going to stop just in. don't ask and look, hans, can we have really significant reasons to fear an escalation? so let's look at the weapons that the, the west are prepared to use at this stage. sanctions, i just like to read you this quote from russia dumbasses to the u. s. responding to those new sanctions from the u, the u. k, the 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 threat of restrictions. and kristin, bessie, i one to have economic sanctions ever managed to stop an eminent military offensive . the economic sanctions are going to put a cost on russia and will try to dissuade it to understand that it is about to embark on an irreversible course of action.

u. k, from the baltic states. but this is all minor equipment. what the ukraine is lacking is air defense, sophisticated air defense, long range, air defense, and what has been delivered as anti tank weapons and also today or this weekend stinger and yeah, croft equipment. but this is only short range equipment. the problem is that the west can deliver, or some countries can deliver as equipment and the ukrainians and know how to use it. but when we talk about complicated complex air defense systems like patriot, this was would mean training. this would mean time, and there is no time to do this. so this remains the minor weak point for ukrainian army. that was journalist thomas. ve gold many thanks. indeed for all of your in science. you're welcome. all right, let's get a check now of some of the other stories making news around the world. dozens of migrants have been rescued off the coast of italy after attempting to cross the mediterranean sea in dangerous conditions. they were picked up by coast guard rescue vessels and arrived on the island

u. k. from ukraine, plus protests held in cities world wide to stand up against the invasion in russia itself. authorities detain hundreds dead descent against vladimir putin. oh, mm hm. i'm a new cops mccain and thanks so much for joining us. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says rushes military advance on ukraine verges on genocide. in a short video, he condemned to brushes target, sang of civilian restaurant. jeff should saying moscow had lost any right to remain on the un security council. he also said he was willing to hold talks, but not in belarus, which is russia's ally overnight. moscow hit at fields and fuel facilities, including a pipeline near a thief in the east. some russian forces was seen entering the city of the meeting, stiff resistance. moscow has ordered its forces to advance in ukraine from all directions. and we can cross straight to dw correspondent, funny if a child who's in malesky in a western ukraine. good morning, funny. tell us about the night and how things are

u. k. from the u. s. from european union. he said, look, put him up front, you know, spell them out, get straight there with this is going to happen. boots in, if you go much further, militarily that hasn't happened having talked about and, and so on and so forth. but that's, that's 11 area of many. he wants to know. he wants the cup to know the color of the money. he wants to know which countries will support him not just with, with, with contributions, with what he described on saturday in the unix joe to conference us. like don't money like, you know, he's very grateful for it whole, but we're not a charity. he was more or less saying, so what, what, what ukraine wants is who's going to actually be on the ground sporting is when the answer is not many people at all, maybe later on. but this is obviously such a crisis for europe, not just ukraine. and he is saying, and he did say categorically that we are holding by one of the strongest armies in the world. and that's the truth right now. you, you could have that russian ar

these powers, when we're labeled us totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial system, which is of course by far the largest in europe, stopping them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the u. k. m with around half of russia's trade. currently in u. s. dollars and study. i'm pleased to tell the house that the united states is taking similar measures. and these powers would also enable us to ban russian state and private companies from raising funds in the u. k. banning dealing with their securities and making lows to them. we will limit the amount of money that russian nationals will be able to deposit in that u. k. bank accounts and sanctions will also be applied to better us for its role in the assault on u. k. overall will, will be opposing asset freezes on more than a 100, a new entities and individuals on top of hundreds that we've already announced. this includes all the major manufacturers that support hooton's woman. she further mo, we are also banning aero float from the u. k. next, on top of these financial measures and in

u. s. from the u. k. from other nature, allies and especially entertain weapon, something they been asking for for a long time and haven't received up till now. for the most part. obviously, germany, notably in its absence in giving weapons, saying that it doesn't want to give lethal weapons or potentially exacerbate tensions. but there's also the prospect of a hybrid woods doesn't necessarily have to be a traditional campaign. ukrainian officials warning of russian support for protests and other forms of up unrest here within ukraine. things could t stabilize the country and provide a pretext for russian invasion. also talk of a cyber attacks, other things that could bring ukraine to its knees and economic and social term. so a very nervous time here and also a sense that whatever happens, these kind of tensions will distract ukraine's from getting on with real life distracted from developing their businesses and building a future here. and that is a takeaway for the lot him did have his nick connelly rep

u. k. from benefit from it. so it looks like el salvador is going to be the country that's doing it. the 1st government i've ever seen that says they're going to do something and, and implement cit foster, which is a really good sign. and so i think this is the country. everyone's going to become and say, yeah, as you mentioned, this is the 3rd country that you're aware of that has tried to or talked about making big coin legal tender and, but now they really have executed on it. they've done exactly what they said they're going to do in record time. they've got the government behind them. they're passing all kinds of new securities laws. now, to support the creation and distribution of volcano bonds, big coin bonds. now a sense of now over a black stream has said that he believes that the volcano bonds are the most important development in big coin sense bitcoin, your thoughts. this is the country's opportunity to really say the country can do something without the central bank having to deflate that currency, manipulate interest rates, and show that you can actually rely upon a cen

so as we hear there from the u. k in u. s. representatives that emergency meeting much more of the same rhetoric, more russian aggression and the promise of sanctions. we just heard from the u. s. representative. linda thomas greenfield. debating the fact that these are at peacekeepers sent from russia into the regions said we know exactly what the yes, what she means by that. what we're seeing is more attention paid to this rhetoric than there is to attention paid to events unfolding that such as violence and the increasing shelling towards the dawn valley region. another point to pick up on in thomas greenfield, greenfield, rather, linda thomas greenfield. i should say it's not thomas greenfield. a is the fact that she mentioned this, this history repeating itself and the president putin began his address of the nation yesterday by giving a long history lesson. and she mentioned that that is going appointed, pointing back to, to, to the beginning of the soviet union. and the president, putin is pushing for more imperialism

u. k. representatives saying that there will be sanctions from the u. k. as we've seen from the u. s. already. now it is important to know or are the funny thing. vladimir putin in his address to the nation yesterday began. it was something of a history lesson. it seems that the, the west is there taken a leaf out of his book, of course, when they were talking about the u. s. s. on the fact that the russia wants to, again rebuild the soviet union. that was the bogeyman for the west threatening and for all that simon, frightening the world as it were, this time at the u. s. representative thomas greenfield, linda thomas greenfield. that is when even further and actually mentioned the russian empire as a point of reference, president putin asserted that russia today has a rightful claim to all territories. all territories from the russian empire, the same russian empire from before, the soviet union. from over a 100 years ago, that includes all of ukraine in essence to wants the world to travel back in time to time before the united nations to time when empowers rule the world. we, as w

when will they will not totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial system, which is of course by far the largest in europe, stopping them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the u. k. now we have to meet the moment. we will hold the kremlin accountable the package of massive and targeted sanctions. european leaders approved tonight clearly demonstrates that this package includes financial sanctions that cut rush us access to the most important capital markets. and these sanctions will increase rush, us borrowing costs, raise inflation, and gradually erode rush us industrial base. and there is a sense that the e u hasn't finished yet with sanctions that it's holding back on some that it might be able to use at a later date. so what is the impact of these sanctions so far in russia, where we know that on thursday, the rubel fell to historic lows against the us dollar. and the russian stock market in moscow had around a 3rd of its value white dots already. there is the biting all these sanctions and that could see further ra

u. k. parliament from the scottish national party joining us life. thanks a lot for your comments. really appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. and other new throw off into national facebook. so use a base is shrinking for the 1st time when amid competition from upstarts including picked up. what will the future hold that's bringing is donny armstrong right now looking pretty bad for a facebook, a metro at the moment, losing uses for the 1st time and what? 18 years of its history. yeah, that's right. losing logan uses for the 1st time in the history to the tune of 500000 fuel loggins every day. that's according to the company's own reports that were published on wednesday for the last 3 months of 2021. just to break that down into figures slumped to 1.9. 3000000000 logan's today. you know, even though that is around a quarter of the entire world's population, it has precipitated a plummet in share to the tune of 26 percent. and his wife, $200000000000.00 worth of the facebook parent company. mesa, which of course owns instagram and what's up and he's headed by the facebook. c

u. k. recently supplying those 1st lethal weapons from the u. k. recently. but there is no commitment by nato to defend ukraine. and as i said before, ukraine is well and truly on its own if russia were to lead. now this of course all comes in context of the russian troop build up next to the ukranian border on the other side. how the the numbers compare. i think this is a really important point because yet there has been lord kristen from moscow of these u. s. troop movements, but they are tiny compared to what russia is doing in the same region. so these are essentially 2000 new troops being transferred across atlanta from the u. s. 1000 being moved from germany to romania. this is pretty poultry. if you accept the claim from nato, joseph, 3 or stilton burg recently that russia sending 30000 fresh troops to bellows alone . these are excise is being held between pillars of russia in that country that also lies on ukraine's borders on top of the $100000.00 russian troops or more along russia's border with ukraine. so these really aren't comparable in terms o

to the banks, we've already sanctioned these pounds, reuben us totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial system, which is of course by far the largest in europe, stopping them from accessing stowing and clearing payments through the u. k. the european union stands united to night. european leaders were fully aligned in condemning the atrocious and unprovoked attacks. now we have to meet the moment. we will hold the kremlin accountable. the package of massive and targeted sanctions . european leaders approved to night clearly demonstrates that this package includes financial sanctions that cut russia's access to the most important capital markets were now targeting 70 percent of the russian banking market. but also key state owned companies, including the field of defense. and these sanctions will increase rush us borrowing costs, raise inflation, and gradually erode rushes industrial base. well, french president macro also has not been mincing his words over the situation in ukraine. he accused president putin of overseeing a turning point in european history. and many who hea

banks, we've already sanctioned these powers when they will not totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial system, which is a cool swipe all the largest in europe, stopping them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the u. k. now these unprecedented sanctions will aim according to the british prime minister to hubble the russian economy. you heard there about the banks. they, we have major russian banks that are going to be as had they, they assets frozen amongst them. the 2nd largest state owned bank, which is v t b major russian companies also will no longer be able to finance their, their money here through person, the russian airline error floors will no longer operate and no longer be allowed to land in the u. k. dual export licenses to russia are being suspended, as are some high tech exports. now it comes as the bushes defense secretary earlier today did say that despite the sanctions they would be no bush boots on the ground because to do so he said would trigger a european war alleviate for his prime minister, held a telephone call with the ukranian pres

from the u. s. as well as anti tank weapons from the u. k. shorter fired steer type missiles can be effective against russian helicopters and even it's attack. so ukraine grinning, armed forces have certainly showed fortitude when they have not rolled over, but yeah, definitely a capability advantage to russia. now we keep hearing from all sides, us all the nato allies, and they will be no boots on the ground in ukraine. today is in a 2nd round of western sanctions, but i can sanctions have anyway, media effect as boots on the ground. so it's a different effect. i think that you're going for sure you've got your imposing consequences on russia, on russia's economy, on key sectors of the economy and on p actors, sir, for sanctions against specific banks. and then i think the escalation of that should include sanctions against individuals and is inner circle. certainly have interest that can be, can be attacked with sanctioned imposing consequences rather than shifting what happens on the battlefield is important for the west for the us, nato

from the u. s. also from the u . k. but beyond that, the ukrainians are now very clear that apart from weapons and cash, they're on their own. and it, in the short term, the medium term they'll have to a stand up to russia on their own without boots on the ground from the u. s. or other western allies and you will, they can do at this point is hope that this passes for now and at some point and russia will be distracted, they will be able to join nato with some of the alliance that puts more comfortable position in oliver as it stands right now, we know that 8500 troops are on high alert in the us for a possible deployment. now we've got 3000 that we know are going to eastern europe . do we know exactly how long they're going to be stationed there? the official tag is, is just a temporary, a deployment. of course, we don't know for how long because what the us eventually wants to reach an agreement following the diplomatic effort that we've been seen over the last weeks . but of course, that implies that putin de escalat

bank, we've already sanctioned these powers and they will not totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial system, which is a full spice all the largest in europe, stopping them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the u. k. now this 10 point sanction package includes asset freezes on some major russian banks, including the 2nd largest state own bank v t b. major russian companies will also no longer be able to access and raise finance in person. at the same time, the russian airline error float is no longer going to be allowed to be operational here in the u. k, it will not be able to land. and then there has been the suspension of dual export licenses to russia and of some high tech exports. now, earlier we did hear from the russian foreign ministry spokesperson responding to comments that were made in an unguarded moment. on wednesday, by the british defense secretary, he was talking to his military personnel. when he said that putin had gone for toronto. in other words, he had taken lunacy to a new level. she threw that common back at the brits. what did he

earlier we heard from ortiz deputy editor in chief on a balcony, and she says the charlies operating in full compliance with u. k. broadcast rules. what i have seen, and again, this is all the news or dropping. basically, there's any update every minute. but from what i have seen, they have made comments to other media outlets. they're reviewing. i guess the letter or the culture minister have not received any from them yet. but that they will have, you know, perhaps maybe add some additional scrutiny to review our content. and complaints and things, but i'm not quite sure what the complaint they have in mind because you have not had a single breach of the awesome code that is really important for me to reiterate in the last 4 years at all. i think for content of the highest quality award winning recognize internationally. there is a pressure to have a special review indicate that it has nothing to do with our with our own existence . which means that it is becoming a purely purely political matter for a very long time. b, r i understand, was not even subject to the review by the independent regulator. i don't s

when will they will not totally to exclude russian banks from the u. k. financial them, which is of course by far the largest in you're stopping them from accessing sterling and clearing payments through the u. k. now we're looking here at a 10 point sanctions package that includes acid freezes on some major russian banks, including the 2nd largest state own bank which is known as the t b. major russian companies are also no longer be able to access or raise finance in britian. at the same time, the russian airline era thought will no longer be able to operate and land in the u . k. the sanctions also include the suspension of dual export licenses to russia, and at the same time the export of some high take goods. also yesterday in front of downing street, there was a protest by ukrainians, many of them clad in the ukrainian colors. hundreds of people gathered there and they expressed their anger against the russian military operation. and also court on the u. k. to not only impose sanctions, but many of them also wanting burton to send in military assis

u. k. from mr. johnson. tell us about that. that's right. this is among the flory of diplomatic activity that continues to unfold. and according to a white house read out of the conversation, the 2 men reaffirm their support for ukraine sovereignty and the territorial integrity. and they discussed reinforcing nato's defensive posture in eastern europe. how does your culture? thank you very much. indeed. america xena is the how much mit fellow at the german marshall fundy joins us live from berlin. thanks very much for being with us. so ticket to go back to some of the diplomatic moves today. we had the german shots in kid. what do you think he achieved during that visit? well, he made clear. there's a lot of color there between germany and ukraine. and i think there was some doubt that where the germany really is standing by ukraine in this existential crisis. nothing. he's part of the right words to to clarify that. why do you think he was offering money at this stage? well, because germany is not sending, sending weapons or we have this de

from the u. s. and the u. k. and we can get a little bit of what was said in the un security council from the us and u. k. side rushes clear attack on ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity is unprovoked. it is an attack on ukraine status as a you and member state. russia's actions show blatant contempt for international law. the united kingdom will be announcing new sanctions on russia in response to its breach of international law and attack on ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. thanks for coming in, danny armstrong. now we got reaction from a spike co in the 2020 libertarian us vice presidential candidate. he said western involvement and the crisis will only make things worse. that i think that vladimir putin is the head of state of one of the least militarily, one of the largest powers on, on the planet. and of a, one of the, one of the larger economy, the former member of the ga and, and i'm, i'm sure this does weigh heavily. i'm not sure that anything that can potentially lead to a hot mil

from the u. s. and also far away from the u. k. so, continental europe potentially stands a lot more to lose than the u. s. or even the u. k. and many people here in berlin are worried that if diplomatic efforts to avoid war fail, then ukraine could only be the start. and then vladimir putin could potentially target other former soviet republics. next, like the baltic states they, their leaders have expressed that fear also to all our sides when they were here in berlin last week. so also in the public language, the german government are trying to focus on trying to avoid war and not talk in detail about what would potentially happen once they're potentially is war. because they say that that could only help speed up the spiral of escalation. our political correspondent nina has or their own german chancellor, all our shortest visit to ukraine. thank you. nina. meanwhile, stalks in europe and asia are tumbling on the back of the increasing tensions between russia and ukraine. the trading day began with losses in tokyo, hong kong an

u. k. further fall out of from of the party gates scandal for of 4th johnson's closest advisory resign as pressure mounts on the prime minister to do the same. ah. hello, i'm player richardson, welcome to the show. the german government has condemned moscow. his decision to shut down the russian operations of deutsch avella, germany foreign ministry, said the move would put a renewed strain on german russian relations mosque. i made the decision to shudder d, w after german media regulators, band german language programming of russian state broadcaster r t, due to its lack of license deutsch velez moscow office has to close by order of the russian government. the decision came after germany's media regulators, band german language programming of russia's state media, broadcaster r t for operating without a german broadcasting license. d w's director general, pita limburger called the russian government's decision, a disappointment, and a total over reaction. this is another sign that russia is not interested in. the russian government is not interested in press freedom and freedom of opin

from the u. s. and also from the u. k. but that is really the only basis for the imminence of an invasion is those intelligence reports. and you'll speak to some diplomats here who remember definitely what happened in 2003, the invasion of iraq. and of course, some of the nato allies were very opposed that notably france and where i am germany. so the whole world is aware that putin is around his troops, maybe as many as 160170000, according to some reports around ukraine. but the only basis of the intent of an invasion comes from those intelligence reports. and what we haven't seen yet, although we've seen that increased shelling on the border, we haven't seen a spark a spark that putin could say. this is the reason that i've decided to gary james, anybody alluding to contingency plans, for example, as a wire that dropped earlier in the day where the danes are having or a returning a naval vessel from west africa. back over to denmark for readiness as it was described. other countries are doing similar things. are they no

from the u. s. l. pania from mexico u. k. in the norway number brazil bone gone to the list, went on a warning from brazil to about the dangers of sanctions imposed on russia having wider effect able on the rest of the world as well as those china. i was interesting to hear what they had to say calling for restraint, encouraging diplomatic efforts as soon as possible. but also speaking of the importance on the indivisibility of security, which is one of russia's big concerns here. and for all in europe, including russia, to talk and that urgent, productive talks when needed, between the you and russia, then rushes vassily to bends as spoke, he of course voted against the resolution. he called it a one sided imbalanced draft, but the common ground he said, must be sought saying rushes legitimate concerns regarding nato were being ignored . calling out what he called the to seat and fakes about reports of shelling of civilians in ukraine alleging that ukrainians themselves are using some of their own as human shields. in some in
