on berlin's doorsteps and jammed, the german government has been adopting a very cautious approach. much more cautious, it's been criticized also by the u. s. americans and also by the british government for that cautious approach. but it is about war or peace in continental europe. so very far away 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.

u . s. official says, the russian government has responded to washington's proposals for the escalation of the ukraine crisis. without elaborating, we will bring you more details as soon as we get them. as independent journalist martin summers has noted, ukraine has been warning its western allies to tone down their belligerent rhetoric . zelinski is potentially, you know, somebody who could negotiate about this is a saying to his western allies and pot and patrons. you know, you're not helping us here. now you thought that might make people what doris johnson take a step back in and have a word with themselves. but of course they've got their own. i mean, he's got his own reasons for talking me talking to us was going to basically does not want a peaceful resolution of this crisis. it won't fit to drive home so that they can bring sanctions to bear on russia. general geo political contest was the russian federation. you know, basically threatening to fight to the last ukrainian. ah, this is not america anymore, is how a passenger on spirit airlines reacted when staff told him to remove hi

u. s. government's policy for creating this entire situation. the 1st place for leading to the situation of war, which is tragic and horrible for every one. and i think that, you know, i, and many americans hope that the u. s. government can now see that they need to actually engage in serious diplomacy to prevent this from escalating further. but what you make of the white house is reaction than to the slightest development. because they say that there's actually a no threat from nice i to russia. well, i mean that, that is preposterous and the u. s. constantly says things like this. they say that nato is a defensive alliance. i mean, that would be news to the people of libya whose government was destroyed in 2011 in a nato war. that would be news to the former people view islov via you were slightly no longer exists as a country because nato destroyed it. that would be news to the people have gone austin, who were su, suffered under 20 years of a nato u. s. military occupation. so you know, the u. s. constantly says things like this. it always

u. s. government. the u. k is defense minister is there, as we mentioned before, diplomacy still going on the you case. foreign minister was that about 24 hours ago, but that didn't go so well. how do we think that ben wallace is going to do well, the british defense says secretary just finished his meeting with his russian counterpart at survey chicago. and so ben wallace held a briefing for the media following that meeting and die. he highlighted some of the key points that they had, the 2 men discussed. he said that he believes russia strongly, it does not have any intentions of invading ukraine. but he said it's also a matter of showing that rather than just saying you had said the truth build up along the border was who are still very much concerned. and he said, if russia decides to invade ukraine, that would be kind of struck tragic and catastrophic. consequences such, but at the same time, the defense secretary of the british defense secretary says that there's still a room for dialogue between the 2

including, you know, during the attempted counter, coos against them, maduro government and venezuela. poignantly faults from the u. s. intelligence agencies. so for them to say that is just laughable. meanwhile, the u. s. government says it does not believe that it may putin has decided whether or not to go to war. the white house on state department are starting to qualify their language after previously insisting an invasion of ukraine was quote, imminent. putin has a lot of options available to him if he wants to further invade ukraine, and he can execute some of those options, eminently when we said it was eminent, it remains imminent. but again, we can't make a prediction of what decision president will make. we said he could invade at any time. that's true. we still don't know. these made a decision. you're not describing it. i haven't. and over a week the white house, we did not use the word imminent in terms of invasion, that perspective changeable. so i, i think there's been some confusion around this because we've always been consistent that in so far as we know, vladimir putin has not made a final decisio

u. s. government plans to free up frozen afghan central bank assets on its soil using half of it for aid for the afghan people while keeping the other half in the us to find power from rules suits brought by victims of terrorism. last month, george gave the bind and administration until friday to come up with a plan for $7000000000.00 frozen after the taliban takeover in august. the u. s. government refuses to recognize that countries, new leaders who say they need the money to of, to growing humanitarian disaster in the country. the united nation is wanting that 22800000 people in afghanistan face acute foods insecurity. this is more than half of the country's population. the plan emphasizes the 3 and a half $1000000000.00 will benefit to the afghan people. but it, it does not include details on how the funds are going to be distributed. i've got histone has another to be in dollars in reserves, helping countries including person germany, switzerland on the way. most of those funds are also frozen. so joining me now from arlington in the u. s. is sean the her i'll be professor of econom

u. s. government love to talk about self determination. there was a boat in crimea, they voted to rejoin a russia that had it had been part of, for hundreds of years. russian troops were already there. the americans love to say that russia invaded crimea. russia was already there. it had a lease up until i know the end of next century. so no, this is a good argument to not let him in. but you know, the u. s. is not interested in a good arguments, the u. s. is interested in the political when it by the administration, i should say, natural gas nucular power could soon be classed as green energy in the u. the european commission supports the idea which has been slum by environmental groups as greenwashing know, needs the approval of at least 20 of the 27 e u countries or europe correspond. and peter oliver can tell us more for you entered she's been in focus for quite a while with energy prices across year of being through the roof. but what we've seen on wednesday with the e u commission outline their plans to reclassify some natural gas pr

u. s. is doing this all by itself. so i think we have to study, you know, we have to hope for the best, but we really have to study how the u. s. government operates and what it's doing as almost as it relates to us domestic policy, financial policy, you know, government stability, those kinds of things because they're there, we don't have any, they've not even offered us any evidence of what they're saying. so why are they saying, well, if you have to follow the money, that's the only thing i can figure in a press conference on it. and i both person lucas younger, the bell, russian president or to the west of aggravated some nuclear conflicts. they've of course, but it's used of doing the same thing. massing troops on the board of service. this goes to ways. do you think that's a fair accusation? laura both saw him, sir, equally to blame. well, you could say both sides are equally to blank. but what americans don't see, and what the western media, at least on the american side doesn't recognize, is the geography of the situation. and in fact, most americans don't even understand the geography of our european allies. we don't, you know, w

u. s. government, of course, we're still wait waiting for villa vladimir putin to make up his mind about how to respond to the counter and response that he's received from the americans a week ago today. now, when the u. s. ambassador to russia delivered a hand written response to the foreign ministry here about those security guarantees. the russians have said that, of course, the expansion of nato's at their top concern. this certainly will be seen as a moved by the u. s. government to try and put further pressure on vladimir putin to really as step back from his demands. and of course, they said that he said that there's something to happen. this is about russia security and that they have nato build up around that. this at the borders of russia is something that is not up for discussion. of course, you have to remember that the troops that will be added to the ones that are already in poland. it will be seen as an important step because of course, poland is a country that borders bella, roofs and bell roofs is where. now, a lot of the russian, i'm a hardware for military hardware and

u. s. government actually said that documents were destroyed, including green cards, the non process pat, a passport document. however, they said there was other sensitive documents, equipment, but they were going to release what they were. you've been involved in some security behind the scenes. what kind of equipment had to be destroyed rather than just loaded up on the u. haul and move farther away. what kind of equipment has to be absolutely beyond and not noted to the american public were eliminated. and does that raise a red flag with you? yeah, i think it raises a major red flag there, protecting a covert operation. you know that this has been a covert and misinformation operation from the beginning going for years now. and i think for year they've been provoking russia and being all kinds of underhanded things within russia with an eastern ukraine. and i think now the time to cover this up and perhaps they've been trying to provoke and set up russia to invade for years now. and if it does happen, they have to hide what on. and it could also be computer equipment and this and mate

u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan, united states army and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector . i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn use so called sub contractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been child diligence. i was a child, as well as i drove professional joe. if he's with the full one full according to the fact that, that with no loan law joined to be merciless killing machines. now they fight and die in other people's was people. carol, lot one, a dead soldier or dead moraine shows up in this country. and then we start asking ourselves, why did they die? why do what would a fighting for? nobody bothers to ask about the contractors ah ah ah, in with i'm after that as you know, watching going on the ground coming up with the show democracy exists in the usa is joe biden dispatches, thousands of soldiers to euro

u. s. government who think your war is a game. and you know, there are countries that have to bear the brunt of it or not so quick to get involved in these wars, and they're going to do everything to prevent them because they understand how terrible work. and d and ukraine would be devastated by war. they've already suffered the people in eastern ukraine of for, and you kremser descends and soldiers in teaching ukraine. lot of them have had seen and done terrible things. so i mean, they understand their government and people understand they're going to do everything to prevent the war. but the united states has an experience wars really, since world war 2 or nothing on soil since the civil war. so i think there are, you know, they still think it's a game and, but it's very real for the people of ukraine. it's very willing yet they're continuing their daily lives, at least they're trying to even though supposing after 3 weeks, 4 weeks of this economically they've been shut down. not because of the actions of the russians because of

u. s. government and the british government, they are in the we are in the worldwide crisis. and especially the u. s. is in the economic crisis. and they have one idea, maybe they have to start a war to get back to the world by taking this was, will be conducted against russia and china. they're producing propaganda to prepare that. and maybe by this withdrawal of the russian troops from combat exercises can stop that narrative. and i hope it will stop the aggressive way of the, especially the u. s. government. but we will see what will, what will be the next 6 months. there are still some skepticism though. i could just quote to you, the nato secretary general again stalled him, but he said, we've not seen any de escalation on the ground. and also plain that everything's in place for a new attack, giving the military lines had to be with the ukraine situation. so if this isn't that, the escalation, what do you think would qualify as such? i mean it's, it's a matter of how you look at things. and if you look analytic, you can clearly see that russia all the way is giving and,

u. s. security forces, use water cannon and tear gas to disperse the demonstrators who pelted them with rocks. nepal requested the a from the u. s. government agency, known as the millennium challenge corporation, or m. c. c, and 2017. but critics say it will harm nepal. oh, interesting. we are in opposition to m. c. c. and not just from today. we've opposed it for years. this is about agreement is against the country and the people in the demonstrators believe. the u. s. aid threatens nepal, sovereignty, and could open the door to the deployment of american soldiers in the himalayan nation. us denies such claims. calling the 8 a gift designed to fund development and improve conditions and daily life for ordinary people. but china accuses washington of attaching strings to the money. a spokesman recently saying, we oppose coercive diplomacy and actions that pursue selfish agendas at the expense of nepal, sovereignty and interests. much of the opposition is being driven by the communist parties that form parts of napoleon governing coalition and are close to beijing in a neighboring india, an army of domestic workers help with the cooking, c
