u. n. and russia and china try to avoid exactly that at the beginning of the meeting, they wanted to continue behind closed doors. the majority of the participating of participating countries then voted for a public meeting. but, you know, in spite of that, there are really no hopes that can be any formal action taken, or even a resolution. a resulting out of that. russia, as you know, has veto riots, so they're in a very strong position, and they also have that support of china. but that's also the goal of the u. s. wants to use the security council simply to gain momentum for their diplomatic path forward. we, we know that the united states already has sanctions against russia. employees, if there is any move against ukraine, what else is the u. s. consider and that's right. so there are sanctions in place. 1 since the annexation of crimea, and 2014, they're considered ineffective. the west is now threatening, and that of course, including the u. s. as well as the european union in canada, a new level of sanctions that could reach from economic boy called to cutting off russian banks from t

and russia. that's taking center stage at the u. n's, most powerful body, top diplomats from russia and the u. s. and their allies been facing each other at the security council member states. we're meeting there to discuss the situation. russia has a mass, tens of thousands of troops on its border with ukraine. moscow says it is not planning to invade his what washington's ambassador told the council.

and i think russia would also be interested in arms control deals on a bilateral lateral level with the u. s. after all the i n f treaty on nuclear, intermediate nuclear weapons has it has fallen apart. the us left that under trump, the open skies treaty, which regulate regulates over flies between russia and the u. s. has also kind of dissipated as well. so i think even though the russians, i didn't get its demands, it seems that their strategy of bargaining very high and essentially asking for more than they know that they can get has paid off. and they've picked up some useful, some useful offers on the way it seems that they're going to be considering now. so emily, with this tiny opening that is emerging, does this make a rush incursion, more or less likely? while the russian side, i think, will most likely continue to demand, to hold on to that main demand of no more nato eastern expansion. i think at this point, you know, it's really up to the russian president and today both said gail over off the russian foreign minister and also the prevalent spokesman made it clear that the president would be lookin

russia, u. n. a. bassett, a square off in public against those of the us, britain and other states over the possibility of russia invading ukraine. the u. s . is also considering imposing further sanctions on russia. that's as ukraine as training civilians in the use of weapons and how to fight authorities say a 100000 people have received training in recent years to act in case there's a russian invasion of their country. western states also considering a range of sanctions against russia in case it invades its southern neighbor, include removing russia from the international payment system called swift base in belgium. swift is used by banks around the world to wire money to one another. and here's how it works. swift handles trillions of dollars of transactions between them more than $200.00 countries and territories territories. it is used by around 11000 financial institutions. so when a business in germany, for example, wants to send money money to russia, swift coordinates the transactions using an intermediary bank in the us. if russia were to be kicked out of swift, it would limit its ability

and member state could not be higher. the stand off between russia and ukraine take center stage at the u . n's most pal.

russia that bates 5060 years back. and these are old relationships and, and europe only gets that much m l n g guess which can, which comes partially from the u. s. m. so it's not quite, it's not quite that easy. and for russia, it's also different than it was last time around, which is 2014. when the crimean ukraine crisis happened, because at that time, russia was totally dependent for each entity, revenues on europe. now about 30 plus percent of its own oil goes to china, 40 plus percent were shamia. and in terms of gas, also the chinese are off take is increasing. so wilson, it's still 72 percent it's, it's dwindling. so we're in a very, very different economic and cio political environment or pover hogan. however, does that mean the russia has in some respect, some regards the upper hand. it can actually threaten to cut supplies, but not completely because it doesn't have the money. but that does have an impact on europe. well, the russian official position is that russia will not threaten or cut supplies. but if there's going to be a further escalation, maybe even there was some fighting on the border, there was more work effectively ac

u. s. secretary of state anthony blank and touched down and ukraine for talks for, to quote, deter russia from further aggression. and at the very same time and entire shipment of n law anti tank missile systems from the u. k also touched down in the u. k. r. in ukraine, so that might not seem like a very diplomatic move, but london says there are only intended for defensive purposes. i can today confirmed to the house that in light of the increasingly threatening behavior from russia. and in addition to our current support, the u. k. is providing a new security assistance package to increase ukraine's defensive capabilities. we have taken the decision to supply ukraine with light anti armor defensive weapon systems. now the u. k says that these weapons are for defensive purposes, but it can't exactly control what he does with these weapons once it's in its own hands. right. and we're also seeing ukraine becoming much more dependent on western governments, both for armaments and military training back in 2021. the u. s. also supplied with a large array of javelin anti tank weapon systems. the pentagon recently confirmed that u. s. military advisors will be stayin

russia ahead of u. n security council meetings tomorrow. we're not going to be distracted by their propaganda and're going to be prepared to respond to any disinformation that they attempt to spread during this meeting. the head of russia's security council says there are no plans to invade ukraine and russia is calling tomorrow. security council meetings. a pr stunt as one of the five permanent members. moscow enjoys veto power, making it all but certain the body will take no action. alright tough loss today. hope you had a nice weekend other than that nine years loss, but it was beautiful and wonderful weekend out there with temperatures into the sixties. plenty of sunshine. we did have the morning fog. we are dry, though, and it's starting to get a little worrisome were 23 days into this dry pattern, and we're going to be a few more days. this whole five day period looks to be dry again, almost certainly dry again, and maybe a little beyond that, so fingers crossed. we just don't want to be going too long. um without rain, and of course, we don't see it without high pressure. dominating we'll

and member state could not be higher. the stand off between russia and ukraine, take center stage at the u. n's, most powerful body is diplomats try to deescalate the crisis. firstly, i want to say sorry, i'm sorry for the things we simply didn't get right at all. so sorry for the way that this matter has been handled. a prime minister apologizes after a u. k. inquire, a fine staff parties at his residence during the lockdown were a failure. yemen, so he rebels target the u i. e again, provoking counter attacks. and his fault, the confederation of african football is confirmed. the lemay stadium will be used to host the cup of nations final in camera. and then us being reopen, just days of the 8 people died in a crush outside the stadium. ah, the crisis side, the border between ukraine and russia is taking center stage un most powerful body top diplomats from russia and the u. s. and the allies been facing each other at the security council were member states, meant to discuss the situation. russia has a mass, tens of thousands of troops on its board with ukraine. but moscow says it's not planning any invasion. we live with ou

i and, and, and russia had 8 demands. 3 of them were we recognized the u. n. we talked to each other, we stopped calling each other adversaries. how outrageous the other 5 are, the exact demands that the united states would make of russia, if there was a missile in cuba, right? stop putting missiles on our border, stop putting troops on our border. stop doing military games on our border stop. i stop a enlarging nato and stop is supporting your so called security at the expense of ours. you know, these are absolutely reasonable things to sit down to discuss. if you think of russia as a partner in a discussion, rather than a misbehaving child to be kicked around to set an example to all the other misbehaving children in iran and korea and, and a china and around the world. so, you know, nato is not interested in resolving this. i, the last thing i want is russian missiles in, in the western hemisphere. but if you see that you will see the double standard play out quite starkly. you know, brad, one, a, one of the odd wrinkles in all of this here is that when nat

defend against any russian encroachment and find themselves as tense as the political stand off to malta mccue the ultimatum delivered by russia to nato n. d. u. s. confirms that they are not ready for compromise or dialogue despite repeated assurances from russia, they don't want war. this squadron of soldiers keeps careful watch. and each has a different theory about what form a russian attack would take. fil, a natural thought that linda's model, yucca, or navy, is not strong enough to withstand the heavy attack. so i think the coastline could be easily captured. that's my opinion. everyone thinks about a possible invasion through carcass or don boss. that's wrong. if it's necessary to attack those, do it from the see. the setting may seem tranquil, but some worry if this is just the calm before the storm. i don't my la james's, not, we had hopes for a better future, but if necessary, we will fight back. but we really hope there will be no attack. it's a different story in the pro russian village of spartak, where the toll from years of fighting couldn't be clearer welsh in the game. so should i see if we just, hey, prussia takes us forget
