u. k. have imposed some sanctions on individuals and companies. but the foreign governments are continuing consent weapons to the cool leaders and protest hills on the ground. say they fear they have been abandoned by the world. the un special envoy to the region has called for renewed international efforts to bring about change. i've called a greater action including the security council. the help lay down the building block. so narrowed the truck deficit and initiate, talk about top on peace, national unity and democracy. so the road ahead will be long and difficult at the time, so it's now and time is running. and joining me now for more is k, when he's founder and executive director of the human rights network and the drug, you know, from bangkok, mr. when has the response from the international community been ineffective so far? in order to answer the question, i think there isn't any to tell inaction. there is action, but doubt that as being symbolic action. so what we are asking do international community to have a concrete action that must

time v t b bank, the 2nd largest state own bank and a number of other russian banks have also been sanctioned. the u. k is no longer accepting visa applications from ukrainians who are stuck in that country unless they have close family. here in the u. k. and beat bella was ambassador to london has been summoned and told that new members of the ruling elite also to be sanctioned. for supporting russia's military moves, the opposition leader has said that more sanctions are necessary, as one of the members of parliament from his party has started receiving death threats for search for criticizing and speaking out against nato expansion. the prime minister by his johnson earlier recorded a twitter video in which he called for an end to what he has termed a crisis. it was also an opportunity for him to show off his knowledge of the russian and ukrainian languages. putin's actions are leading to complete isolation for russia, shunned by the rest of the international community, hit by immense economic sanctions and facing a needless and bloody war. these already costing countless lies from innocent ukrainia

u. k. in the u. s. also, australia have elected to state a diplomatic boycott that just means that they won't be sending any government officials or any diplomatic representatives. now china achieve the usa of grandstanding, political posturing and of undermining the games when the diplomatic boycott was announced. and it's one of several political issues that our phones in china's side during these games. another example, of course, is the participation of taiwan. now, taiwan is a territory that is claimed as part of china by the people's republic. they can be at the games under the banner of chinese taipei and the delegation from chinese taipei had said that they wouldn't attend the opening or closing ceremonies. now they've now being told by the i see that their participation is required. but you know, for these kind of things to be making, the headlines obviously distracts from the games. and of course, it's inconvenient. china is not what they hope people would really be talking about . and a few words tom, what can fa

it's a matter of the data that you have, which the u. s. and u. k. through their signals, intelligence agencies, the national security agency, and the g. c, h q of quite a bit, but the bigger question here is political will. historically, the u. s. u k, have been much slower to point the finger countries like russia for cyber attacks, most notably in 2016 when it took quite a while for the government to speak up as the cyber attacks around the election took place. it seems that this administration has taken those lessons the heart and they are deliberately moving much, much faster than the u. s. was ever done before. just how dangerous are these cyber attacks, or are they just a nuisance? well right now the, the question the answer is mixed. so as you said, denial of service attacks effectively bring down services. and they're, they're technically simple, but they're really about perception. they're about undermining confidence in the government and at a moment like this that's, that's pretty important. the wiper malware today that you mentioned, whic

have no soul. ah ah, ah hello and welcome across that were all things are considered. i'm futile. 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, 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. are a gentleman, cross that rules and effect, that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated, sir, i would look like it. it's really interesting to me watching this on a month long, eminent invasion, a messaging from the u. k and the u. s. everybody is talking about a russian invasion of ukraine, except for ukraine and

u. k. offers revealed nurses have been sucked for questioning the policy of placing transgender people in single sex wards. that story animal with back and just a mm hm. ah oh, driven by dream shapes bankers and those with dares sinks. we dare to ask people to use big claims for crime, for this very reason. the highest percentage in global prime that employ big coin, piqued to several years ago, at around one and a half percent. and that number's gone down. calendar one half of one percent. it's not really practical for criminals to use big coin, that's just a point mainstream media uses being correctly ah, so saturday morning here at moscow, a good to happy with us. so top law makers inside president biden's own democratic party growing increasingly restless at his embattled administration. now claiming that middle america seized this by the administration as toxic. now it comes as i watering. inflation is really hitting people hard in their pockets. and polls now suggested republicans are indeed set to win big and the crucial mid term elections . let's get some more details here. our co

m, u k, have have together crude invaded bond since world war 2. it's quite staggering. we, i literally con, name them all. us was bombing, syria and brian williams was, you know, foaming at the mouth on live television. it's not isolated, they all do that on every network. i am old enough to remember when they were invading iraq and they were doing the same thing. you had a live stream from a tank on cnn. this is who these people are. they are spokes a person's. they are the mouthpiece for the weapons manufacturers. so it's their job to sell war, and i know this must be very frustrating for americans because when they see bombing on live television, they're used to seeing their own troops do it. so when they see russia doing it to defend itself, it's weird for them. they don't understand it and it causes a lot of it's.

u. k. have trained the ukrainian military for years, have sent a both defensive and offensive equipment to the ukranian government. knowing that perhaps one day they would have to use it that one day russia would come and, and force them to fight for their independence. but obviously, the, the russian armed forces are, you know, the ukrainian forces are no match for russian. this official said that the russians have brought overwhelming force to this fight. they have brought troops in from bella ruth as was feared. so it wasn't just the initial build up that we saw on the border. it was part of these $30000.00 that they left in belarus after joint exercises concluded. so as fanny said, this is not just a military operation. this definitely looks at least from where i'm, i'm hearing brussels and what i'm hearing here. like a full scale take over of the country. the messages that we've been hearing from organizations like the european union and nato, they all talk about unanimity. i'm solidarity,

we have chose sheep, which form a u. k. and counter terrorism intelligence officer live earlier. he says western promises to offer arms to ukraine could actually be against key as interests. i think if to west britain and america suggested that i would try and make an occupied ukraine, ungovernable if they do that, i'm afraid that i may well flood airy weapons and then they would try what they would turn on regardless of their intentions. as the risks that i would tense, you kind into a new syria or creating massive civilian casualties and apps and sustainable massive refugee flowers as well. if civil will were to break out and be prolonged. that sound is what the west britain and america at least britain especially has been promising to do to make it ungovernable, for russia. but in doing set it, of course, by flooding weapons into that they are likely to create a situation of civil war and endless, or very long, long term conflict. the chief, of course, are victims of which would largely be the ukrainian civilian population. we know that from what happened in syria and libya wh

u. k. have the same problems in southern africa and africa. interesting. i want to bring jackson on the 1st point of what lawrence was talking about, that always seeing supply chains change jass as a result of that failure. always seeing a move at least to some degree away from you know, reliance on the global supply chain. yes, yes, so i'm just responding to a lot insight about that and partially about peter said about supporting local local capabilities. so again, i mean at the outset, yes, dad is a change being changed being observed, all kind of moving from global supply chains to, to more regional local supply chains. but there is a problem with that that, you know, if you, if you trade for a long time, but it's manufacturing also production i've seen be able to like in graduate vfc. and what happens is also that you lose capability over time. so you lose the knowledge of a time of how about a box or how to produce certain things. now what happens is that if you want to kind of reinvigorate those low capabilities, what needs to happen is that rather r

we have joining us from new castle in the u. k. jas, camera assistant professor in supply chain management at new castle university's business school, also in the u. k. but in brighton, lawrence had that the executive director at the global alliance for improve nutrition, and in nairobi. peter cam a lincoln, he is the pat africa director at oxfam international welcome to you, or if i could start with lawrence. so lawrence view and food price index last month showed arise towards record levels. why is it all down to the post pandemic recovery? thanks sammy, you are, the levels are really high higher since 975 in real terms and i think there are 3 big drivers climate covered and conflict on the climate side of things. we've got some pretty severe droughts and some key food producing areas. her argentina, malaysia, indonesia, ukraine, russia, and this is really driving prices up because supply has been interrupted on the covert front. we know that moving food around in food systems from the farm to the fork is much more complicated u

m u k, have have together a crude invaded bond since world war 2. it's quite staggering. we, i literally con, name them all. the us was bombing, syria and brian williams was, you know, foaming, gets involved on live television. it's not isolated, they all do that on every network. i am old enough to remember when they were invading iraq and they were doing the same thing. you had a live stream from a tank on cnn. this is who these people are. they are spokes a person's, they are the mouthpiece for the weapons manufacturers, so it's their job to sell war. and i know this must be very frustrating for americans because when they see bombing on live television, they're used to seeing their own troops do it. so when they see russia doing it to defend itself, it's weird for them, they don't understand it, and it causes a lot of it's, there's a lot of emotions. and, you know, israel is bombing syria almost every single week. and i don't see anyone on cnn covering that as a matter of fact, a few hours before russell on the operational ukraine, israel bomb and syria, and there was
