so i think the u. s. a complaint, a definite mist directly and you know, the u. s. has been so angry at the w t o in the past that it's actually blocked appointments to the athletic body, which is the dispute settlement cost. how much has that hampered the world trade organization and its ability to sol disputes between countries? would you say yes, definitely. i mean, the us a decision to block the appellate body a, another mistake made by the us, the course. ironically, on the one hand, you are seeing that the u. s. has been complaining that, and china is being body. can all kinds of w your was on the other hand, to the end of my you the w 2 us ability to really and off. this was china by removing the appellate body, making the body basically be non existent. so i think the u. s. is kind of a self contradicting if they really want to have you was my actions against trying the w q. you should definitely bring back the appellate body. do you think that that's likely to happen under president joe biden? it hasn't happened so far. it was the former president, donald t

there is a big story breaking out of the u. s. a record seizure of crypto currencies that were sold in and a half. what more can you tell us about this year when it's a new york couple and obviously they sort of, if i got the right mass, about 3 and a half, a 1000000000 worth of crypto current feed them. and now investigators caught the couple, i would say cash is still king, at least when it comes to cyber criminals, because the couple tried to, to convert those crypto currency into real currency into us. and that obviously wasn't that easy and that's why investigators were able to capture them and score to new york. thank you so much now to some of the other global vis and stories making news. pelettano is replacing it c, e o. and cutting 2800 jobs. the maker of interactive exercise bike faces sagging sales, co founder john foley has led the company for nearly a decade. he will now become executive chair. we have been under pressure in recent months as the company shares tumbled nearly 80 percent us semiconductor giant and a video

u. s. rose to a record high, very politically sensitive issue in the u. s. is there risk to the economy? there is chelsea and it is pretty mind blowing. number again, if you look at the full year of 2021, we actually saw the trade budget blow up or, or expand by about to 27 percent. i mean, that is a huge increase from one year to another. and if you import more and more and you don't export much more, usually that is all can be a direct on economic growth in the united states. i mean, clearly the good message is obviously the american or the u. s. economy is doing better than other call me around the globe. so that's why imports are increasing and exports not so much, but in the longer run, if you run a huge decade said, usually that is a direct on economic growth of a country like the united states. and i just want to ask you briefly, there is a big story breaking out of the u. s. a record seizure of crypto currencies that were sold in and a hack. what more can you tell us about this? yeah, well it's a new york couple and obviously they sort of, if i got t

the u. s. a certainly angered by it whether they see it as a win or not. and they're saying that this is, you know, the decision reflects erroneous apple. it's body interpretations. what do you make of that? well, the u. s. has been complaining about the queue just as system for a long time, especially on true remedies cases where they regard the appellate body is to show public body. for example, to be a serious mistake that i have minds of other countries ability to pick. what time is based capitalism and have a long call it or the form, but it puts money. i would agree with us review. i think the appellate body actually has made the right decision. ironically, if you look closely at the appellate body decision 3 years ago, i mention audio. actually the parent body in that case, did a try to re adjust the audio. you're pretty some, probably the body to make it easier for us to have a safeguard. as to have already subsidy a mattress against china. so i think the u. s. a complaint, a definite mist directly. and you know, the us has been so angry at the w t

berliners hearts for giving them candy when they didn't have much of anything at all. halverson was a u. s. air force pilot during the berlin airlift from 948 to 1949. when the soviets blockaded west berlin, the u. s. air lifted vital supplies to a city that it had been at war with only 3 years before. there did glide for the halverson himself. later said he had mixed feelings about the mission drop, but his attitude changed and he even started giving his own candy rations to children. eventually dropping the sweets by parachute from the air. good picture of it. and no one was startled. yeah. when they didn't bag, i gave him a little gama, i had to sit for them and they got so excited. i promised to draw it enough for everybody to this. and so i started dropping chocolate american confectioners send me all a county we could draw. and the berlin airlift helped change germans attitudes toward the united states. there war time enemy elverson became a lifelong ambassador for german american friendship. his name will live on in a berlin park dedicated in his honor. you're watching the news. he'

u. s. u k. arms. no one understands that there is a relatively, i'm not saying it's easy. i think you said the hard work of the trained people are responsible for someone say it's coercion. there is an answer to this. that is not some kind of magic. and it's africa is good for a reason. not because it's africa. that's right. you know, they don't want you to be independent self sufficient. they want to african, to be biggers. they want to be able to control the african leadership so that they can continue to exploit super, exploit the resources of the country. i mean, you know, what is the oil companies paying 88 percent royalty on their well, i mean, nigeria supposed to be a rich, rich country, but the poor people are, are hungry. why? because they're being ripped off for their oil. i mean, this is what the threat of a good example of originally has now sprayed to easy ok. and the, the, and all their lackeys, whether they're in their human rights organizations or media or their people in the u. n. are all very concerned about africa standing up and say, we're not going to

now. moscow immediately fired back accusing the u. s. a fueling tensions. russia continues to deny any invasion plans and says it is withdrawn, withdrawing some troops from the border with ukraine. in this government held village and eastern ukraine, a kindergarten hit by a shell, ukrainian and western leaders believe it was struck by pro russian forces. no children were injured, but the kindergarten teacher said it was a close call. no. yeah, uh huh. you little women do to ma his mclaughlin. children were having breakfast at the time and we're planning to have lessons in that room at 9 a. m, according to the schedule, shows luckily the children were not heard. only the employees were shell shocked by western observers. believe the shelling may have been a false flag operation by rush, a prompt, a counter attack, but separate just accused ukrainian government forces of opening fire as well. you as president joe biden believes the russian invasion will take place any day. now how high a drought move worker number one, number 2, you have to

an embassy in the solomon islands comes as a u. s. secretary of state antony blink and touched on in fiji. to hold talks with 18 pacific ladies on key issues like climate and security. it's a move that's being seen as an attempt by the united states to re establish diplomatic ties almost 3 decades after it downgraded its presence in the island nation. the u. s. close its embassy and honey, our in 1993. over the last 2 decades, china has been building up its influence in the south pacific, emerging as a diplomatic and economic partner to an increasing number of countries. china is also committed to send police advisors to the solomon islands after the riots which devastated the capital last november. the u. a state department says the embassy would start as a small set up in honey hour with 2 employees and about 5 local staff. but it's not just the embassy. there are also plans to reopen an office for the u. s. peace court in the capitol. saturdays announcement is part of president biden strategy in the in our pacific, which aims to b

and so, you know, historically, ethiopia has been the policeman on the beat for the u. s. a. control balm, and now ethiopia has made a dramatic turn since this coup d'etat to see i supported by the to grab people's liberation front, left for sure. and they tried to regain power any fuel at the end of 2020. so this, today, tom was basically a united states trying to reassert their military control over a strategically critical part of the world, the horn of africa. so for, you know, whether you are, i understand it, that your list is understand it to see i fully i'm is aware of just how critical horn of africa is. and that's why if you didn't end up and firing line of the united states now, since they have moved decisively out of the u. s. sheer influence and become close to reach out, which is what's very alarming. i mean, i've been announced it was going to nationalize all the land and this isn't the 1st time has been announced that he's fairly, very serious about similar to what to reach it nationalized. so am whoa, that's a 1st step towards socialism. so the americans are v

and in other words, a, the u. s. military murdered with impunity. and the u. s. public knows that this is what goes on and it's not acceptable to a growing number of americans, especially as the voting public becomes younger and better educated. and so increasingly there is less tolerance for this and you're seeing that reflected at the, the voting booth with each successive election. and so with respect to this latest case, the military may make the argument that they did these broadcasts and that they warned people. but do how, how a young child may not even be able to understand the broadcast and have the ability to comprehend the danger that's in front of them. so is that even sufficient? and those are the questions that the u. s. military is likely to be asked and whether they have a sufficient answer, i will be met with some skepticism in the eyes of not only americans, but around the world. you're kimberly, thank you very much overseas you mentioned we're going to be waiting for president barton to make those comments in about an hour's time or less than

after the u. s. a nato responded to demands of the ukraine crisis. the u. s. in russia have resume talks with a phone call between secretary of state lincoln and foreign minister lever without a breakthrough. veto you business with chris kolber is up next, stated people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away at the border. families place on the tax in the region for these credit owners with people lean, extreme ross getting $200.00 people in june around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge as to why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, ah, to raise or not to raise output, that is the question the world's top oil producing nations aim to answer a mid surging demand at prices. we'll have live analysis of the meeting of opec plus members also coming up the use top court is to decide today whether the blocks made gas supply or rush us gas problem has too much market power and will go to indonesia were some tech savvy entrepreneurs managed

i had a back call. russia summoned the u. s. military attache alleging a u. s. submarine violated its territorial waters in the far east. ukraine's president earlier visited a police training camp, wrote amused lensky says, warnings of a russian invasion are only provoking, panic is our borders, it's our territory. you know, i have to speak with our people, like you do, you know, like, like a president and say people throughs and the truth that we have different information and know the best friend for enemies that hispanic in our country. and all this information details only for bernie doesn't help us on the streets of the ukrainian capital, kiev war veterans were among thousands on the march in a civilian show of strength and rushes, foreign minister, se gala rob has accused us of waging a propaganda campaign during a phone call a few hours ago with the u. s. secretary of state antony blanket. well, we have correspondence covering developments across the region and beyond. in a few moments we'll hear from natasha butler, who's in the ukrainian capital key a

a result. so it's pretty plain to see that the u. s. is trying to create a level playing field, but only when it benefits their own athletes. and while the u. s. may stand at the top of the podium for playing political games. if it's stopped it's posturing and simply played fair. it might win golds without having to prosecute russian athletes and nothing in the u. k. had been sacked for them to question the policy of placing transgender patients in single effects was bernice nicholson made the revelation of the house of lords ton down or amendment call innovations to be put in wards according to their birth sex. she wants the current policy threatens women's dignity, privacy and safety. traditionally female patients in the n h. s, and in private hospitals have been allocated beds and single sex wards accommodating only women patients. transgender ism, and i speak as a woman, has undermined that provision with the 21900. any guidance authorizing self selection of patient gender on arrival in hospitals or the current to the state. national

u. s. as well as other attack victims. but as a girl come up that he got the $3500000000.00 belongs to afghanistan and the people . and if the u. s. is paying this amount to those who lost their lives in the 911 attacks than the u. s. should pay compensation for the 20 year war, and the people who died in afghanistan without war carpool is a city on depression. many can barely afford to eat much better than more than as though i was gay. most of us sleep with empty stomachs because we don't have jobs to find money and feed our families like before in shot. and now some one was distributing bread to the poor, and there were hundreds of poor and starving people, fighting over one piece of bread. and i was thinking, it's better to die than being disrespected this much. extreme hunger is nationwide. it's estimated more than half the $39000000.00 afghans are suffering the human fat. the afghan economy is in free fall. and so or it's people to us says it will use to release funds to buy much needed aid, but not by the taliban, which it d

u. s. but it also is a question of emphasis. it seems like the u. s. is trying to, for a ground this. and if you give dates, give lots of detail on, not potentially in an attempt to try and discourage russia from doing something by drawing so much attention to this, that the permanent backs away the ukraine. leaders of c, worried that panic will ensue, and the people here in care of will either start trying to move towards the you leave their homes will sell up that the economy could be in dire straits. so there is a bit of a difference there in our priorities, but i think the ukrainians, most only recurring trends will tell you that those troops, those russian troops, there's russian tanks on their borders or something. but people here are very definitely worried about an hour, also hearing growing numbers of countries telling their citizens to leave ukraine if they're inside the country and to not travel to ukraine if they are intending to do so. how is this being perceived among ukrainians as they're watching, perhaps more and more a foreign citizens leaving? i think it definitely

u. s. vessel was chased away by a russian naval ship near the pacific carolyn's. but the u. s. has denied it, carried out operations in russian of waters. ukraine's president said warnings over a possible invasion on provoking panic. and in the capital cube on saturday war veterans were among thousands who march nice civilian show of strength. dosher butler reports. oh, sort of a clear message from keith to moscow at a rally with thousands of people are choo crane's government to stand up to russia some here, ford for ukraine. veterans of the country's war with russian back separatists in the east. and they say they'll fight again. we are ready, we are ready to fight. if it happens, we don't want to, but it will happen. we are here to say this kind of meeting is about the brand new people do go to gather all i want to get to so that we're not separated real over content. and we also can protect it if it needed in any time. so that's why we're here. some demonstrators gathered beneath the statue of tad, us shift jenko, and 19th century poets. an artist, a symbol of ukrainian nati

u. s. and the u. k. you have declared a diplomatic boy caught over schumann writes issues and wilson competitors, but no ministers or officials. meanwhile, organizers have threatened athletes with punishment for any behavior or expression that they deem in breach of chinese law, and will expect the audio see to rigorously enforce its own rules. limiting protests. they show that you've seen now in the olympic charter. there are very strict rules. so for the meadow ceremonies and during the competitions, political protests are not committed. on other occasions, like at press conferences or during interviews or on personal platforms, the athletes are free to express their opinions. the athletes must be responsible for what they say, and she got as far due to covey athletes, and journalists will be kept insecure bubbles, while no spectator tickets will be sold to the public organizers say health and safety are paramount, bela oh, cool covey counter measures are still on top of our agenda, we have been making effective measures

their treatment, a wicker muslims prompted countries like the u. s. and the u. k. to stage a diplomatic boycott, china responded by having a weaker athlete light the olympic flay. sticking to the script, international olympic committee president, thomas bah, cited his know, politics, pledge, the position or for the the i, you see her must be given the are political or neutrality. is it, we are not her commenting on her political. her issues, however, organizers did comment on this display from ukraine. instead of calling it political, the i o. c. described it as a call for peace on the sporting front. russia's 15 year old figure skater, camilla valley ava dominated headlines due to testing positive for a band substance. but due to being a minor, while the eva was allowed to continue competing, which didn't and well for the teenager, away from the politics and controversy. china hauled in a record 9 gold medals. 2 went to freestyle skier, eileen, go. francesco free day and germany's bobsled team had an unforgettable showing in beijing. but when it comes to the best o

so nick, the u. s. a has been a warning of an imminent incursion for a weeks now, but russia keeps denying any plans to attack ukraine and it says, the west is spreading dis information. what do you craniums make of these contradictory messages? well man, i think there's gonna be little trust in words coming from moscow in the country that is seen russia annex crimea, with the so called little green men, which we were initially denied to any link with moscow. and then it turned out they were all russian soldiers and has been supporting a separatist in easton ukraine since 2014 so little credence given to those words from russia. but there is a difference in interpretation that tells us between key f and washington and other west l. as that is definitely the case. we've been hiring these cal apocalyptic a warnings from the u. s. and other west european capitals. now in recent days and for lima zalinski, as you heard in the piece, there was a warning against panic saying that his information is different. n

u. s. wrestler was chased away by a russian maple ship near the pacific coral islands, but the u. s. has denied it, had carried out any operation in russian waters. ukraine's president said, warnings of a possible invasion are provoking panic and in the capital key on saturday, war veterans are among thousands who march in a civilian show strength. patasha butler schools, on ha ha. so out of the clear message from key if to moscow at a rally with thousands of people are choo crane's government to stand up to russia some here, ford for ukraine. veterans of the country's bull with russian back separatists in the east. and they say they'll fight again. we are ready. we are at the white. if it happens, we don't want to, but it will happen. we are here to say, this kind of meter is about the brand new people do get together on to present to. so that we're not separated reliable content, and we also can protect it if it needed in any time. so that's why we're here. some demonstrators gathered beneath the statue of ta ta us, shift jenko, and 19th century poet, an artist, a symbol if ukrainia

u. s. president joe biden has given a press conference detailing fresh sanctions against russia, but ruling out u. s. military intervention in ukraine biden also confirms the u. s. military commitment to defending its nato allies in eastern europe, and he strongly condemned russian president vladimir perkins actions lets us name to some of what he had to say. and put his aggression against ukraine will end up costing russia dearly economically and strategically. we will make sure of that good will be a pariah on the international stage. any nation, the countenances rushes naked aggression against ukraine, will be stained by association. the history of the service written puente choice to make a totally unjustifiable war on ukraine who love love, russia weaker, and the rest of the world, stronger liberty, democracy, human dignity. these are the forces, far more powerful than fear and oppression. they care not be extinguished by tyran slide putin and his armies, but cannot be erased by people from people's hearts, and hopes, by any amount of violence and intimidation they endure. let's get re

the u. s. a sense of $3000.00 troops to be fought its presence in europe. russia denounces the deployment as destructive and likely to increase tensions. also coming up on the show, a warning from scientists, greenland is warming faster than any other place on the planet. and the dramatic melting of its ice sheet is pushing up global sea levels. and the fanfare begins the winter olympic torch relay completes. it's 1st day with human rights abuses and the corona virus. in the spotlight, we ask whether the actual sport risks becoming a side show. ah. hello m claire richardson, thanks so much for joining us. in an escalation of the crisis over ukraine, u. s. president joe biden is mobilizing 3000 troops in a move meant to reassure neo allies of washington's commitment to collective defend . the pentagon has emphasized it is not sending troops to ukraine, but added that the build up is meant to deter russian president vladimir putin from invading ukraine. the kremlin has denounced them as destructive

ah, a, the leaders of russia, the u. s. whole crisis towards the mid tensions over ukraine, a rift on security policy. a french police fire, tear gas to break oper, freedom, a convoy rally a central forest is blocked off with checked points and armored vehicles. our correspondence is in the midst of the action. you can see the tape gas isn't coming towards us now. launched by the police just they were trying to control the crowd. and in canada, where the convoy movement started, security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers blocking via pasadena bridge. a key border crossing with across the world to run the clock. this is your r tikrit of your company today. i'm, you know, russia has accused us of violating its territorial waters. after on the american nuclear power to attack submarine was spalding off the country's far east post. it comes, it made heightened tension between the 2 powers. i discussed the story with our t. starsky. taylor, sad to say that the story of the week has been the crisis around ukrain

u. k. a u. s. and i've never met anyone in the last 6 months to tell a man took over to support what the us is doing. i mean, whether they supported the u. s. leaving or not. there's different views about that to be fair. but in terms of what's happening now, there is no one he thinks the u. s. policy is moral or even the legal. i mean, the afghan people are on the verge of mass starvation, the population of 40000000 people. the un estimates 98 percent of them a food insecure. there is a country incomplete, not to collapse. most them western media ignores that. there are some journalists to cover it to be fair, but in general it's mostly ignored. whereas when the taliban were taking over in august, there was a huge orgy of concern, apparently for the afghan people, most that has not disappeared. and to me a some they spend a lot of time in afghanistan in the last 10 years. and he still believes that afghanistan deserves independence and freedom a tell a bad one, whether we like it or not. and the fa

ah, february is often the coldest month in both europe and in the u. s. a coldest bumper winter, coldest months of the year. this is the exception of these temperatures. daytime high temperatures throughout the u. s. right down to the gulf coast. we are significant below where we should be. new orleans on thursday hangs on to 23 in washington. 14, but that difference is so great that once again, it's significant winter events taking place with snow likely to fall in land re near the coast between the 2. a dangerous line. that for example, could give pittsburgh freezing range because you black ice on the ground. otherwise significant amount of snow and rain ahead of it and the freezing right is the dangerous bit, stretching all the way down through a kentucky and tennessee, down towards arkansas and then that cold as going to keep going south. so the 23 new orleans disappears in nashville. we're down to about 3 degrees fairly rapidly from 12 and over gulf coast. there we go. 23, down to 9. by the time you get to friday and that normally would, and it will ha

and it looks like the u. s. a has hit glock bottom, at least in regards to the trade of on a cottage as imports of the popular fruit from mexico have been expended. we're going to tell you why and if this is a fruit in the us will always keep for state port. i'm sky now here in these stories are on this edition of news use use. let's get started. ah, this was supposed to be a day of invasion. well that was at least according to us intelligence. but if you have been watching this show over the last few weeks, you would know none of the normal signs were present, which would actually validate this accusation by the us. so let's go over a few nato troops were not mobilized to actually reinforce ukrainians with the u. s . only cindy, a minor fraction of u. s. troops, but only to you. space is all outside of ukraine itself. now in person diplomatic meetings between e, you and russia, leaders have continued including the germans, hanser and moscow. on the same day as this invasion was supposed to occur. and no countries

ah, a headline story, this our, the leaders of russia and the u. s. whole crisis talk, so made tensions over ukraine and visions on the security policy. so french police fire tier guy to break off a freedom convoy rally as central tourists is blocked off with checkpoints. and armored vehicles are correspondent days in the midst of the actually you can see the t a gas gauge and coming towards us now launched by the police just as they were trying to control the crowd found in canada where the movement started. security forces are facing off against hundreds of truckers locking the ambassador bridge, a key border crossing with from moscow to the world. this is our team, my name is unit o'neill and you're welcome to the global news to rhonda our top story. russia has a choose the us, so violating its territorial waters after on the american nuclear power to attack submarine, while spotted off the countries far east coast, it comes to mid heightened tension between the 2 powers. i discussed the story earlier with our t so scheduler, sad to say that the s

u. s. and the u. k. are forcing him to abide by the trans atlantic consensus. it's also a pleasure to welcome regina hello. she is a conflict researcher at the institute for peace research and security policy. and she says, finding a new security architecture for europe that is equitable for all stakeholders. it's like wearing a circle and i'm very pleased to greet my colleague from deutsche avella roman gone to ranko. he's in crane, read a department, and he says russia has given the west and ukraine more time to raise the white flag . war is still possible and he joins us from bon nickina. everybody's been holding their breath following those u. s. intelligence based predictions that an invasion was imminent, and it hasn't happened so far. instead, rushes says it's pulling back some of its troops. are you seeing signs of that within your research organization? are you seeing evidence that the de escalation is real? what we saw is a little bit of a breast taking over the last days. but in general, i think we're, we're not through it at all. um, we are seeing not no signif

u. s. troops being deployed to romania and poland is, is this for the us part of postering show of strength, or is this the u. s. really preparing for conflict. this is very much a show of force for our allies. i don't think that let a mere putin and his generals are impressed. you're only $3000.00 troops on route, $8500.00 that would go to the nato response force. and there are probably 82130000 russians near the ukranian border. so this is really to short or allies. it's not that much of an impact in moscow. my trip, sir, do you think it will impact this sort of 10 situation already on the ground? oh, perhaps not. i don't think who is going to use military force. he be crazy to do that . people don't know, but this exercise was scheduled and on the 20th and several of 2020th of february. so we'll see what happens. you gotta realize geography counts. there are only 4 countries that directly border on russia, norway, to the baltic countries. and believe it or not, the united states in the barren sea in the arctic. and so geography is very much on the side of, of nato in this particular case. and don't forget, put in is after a new strategic framework in europe t
