this is enough, a red line, not it talks over the past week, have also said as a marker of the tensions between us and russia. of course, the u. s. are not bending on any of russia's demands. it seems. and i also was lucky enough to ask a sec, i love rob about the words of the u. s. secretary of state, anthony lincoln, who said that all president putin has done in the past 2 years or so, is there to facilitate what he wanted to present or prevent her rather. and those are kind of strong words from the u. s. i is, oliver said, that really isn't the case. said he was surprised at those words by blinking gressick natasha anthony b. u. s. secretary of state blinking argues that what present couldn't, has done over the past couple of years has only speeded up everything that couldn't would like to prevent on which basis does blanket make such comments. do you think we don't put on putin has been devoting all the last years to strengthen russian sovereignty, which is constantly under attack by the west? those are attacks on all fronts. direct military to terrance information attack, soft power mechanism. and others is a shame that som

u. s. not being at the table as you put it. what does this mean when it comes to china's increasing role and growing influence? even as the u. s. influence wayne's? yeah, i think by agreeing to this trade a deal, i think it's a mess. those outside the tent, namely the u. s. that east asia and south east asia are willing to move on trade with or without the support of the u. s. and i think it's very important for you to reflect upon itself and figure out what the policy is going for on economics and on trade. more generally speaking, jan, how is this our step deal different from the trans pacific partnership deal or t p. p. as it's knowing which involved the u. s. in which they tried to get off the ground, but then they pulled out of right. so i think that's a good starting point. the t p p is no longer what it was. it's now the c p t, v p, which is a significantly watered down version of what the u. s. had initially proposed now after it pulled out. and so, but still even in this watered down form, it is a much more ambitious a

u. s. not l m g back can come in to europe, but we don't have that many re gas, if he can cation tramos yet. that can take out all d, m, all the, all the pipeline gas coming from the east. that's, that's the 1st thing. and let us not forget, in terms of cat that most of the got that a gas goes towards east and china has become very big china. this here is becoming the largest importer of l n t. after japan and korea. so we have, we'll, we'll competition here for the if are the l m t molecules of pablo. same question to you know, streams, who pipeline from russia into germany, august and berlin says is effectively dead. what do you think one long matter? of course, that would be very bad news for other people and may be smart. that did actually be mean technically it's built and there, ah, if the present acute crisis, so we're ukraine, them between russia and the west. russia may go get some kind of more or less permanent. resolution may be more stream, could be part of that resolution. see a ki

u. s. not, and the u. s. and nato not put offensive weapons in europe in a position where it could possibly strike the hard land of the russian federation. and also a promise from nato, that it will not further expand eastward, specifically into the countries of ukraine and georgia. that 2nd point, as love rav said, there is something that was promised back in 1990 to russia. actually back when the u. s. ceasar was still around back when a soviet president mikhail gorbachev was in power. they, they were promised as lover of said that the military alliance would not expand past the older river in europe. according to the russian foreign minister, when the, when western officials were set were, you know, presented with this, they began saying that it was just in an oral promise. and then when tensions began to intensify, they began backtracking rushes, showed them the documents that to prove this and as live, rob said, and he actually called what the west said in response. childlike and the here we are in the si

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 8 and a 2 revenues on europe. now about 30 plus percent of its own all goes to china, 40 plus percent were shamia. and in terms of gas, also the chinese are off take is increasing. so we'll see 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, may be been there was some fighting on the border there with more or less effectively, actually technically cut the gas if and suppliers

u. s. also to have allowed him in, not have caught out the u. k and said, miss mans got convictions all over the place. we can't let him in and send him back . noticing that when you read into it, that he was able just to get a gun like that, a lethal weapon without being on any authority watch list at all. that just shows an absolute failure on every front face, the intelligence agencies in the u. k. the border security usa policing security in the usa as well. and i think, you know, it's great now that we can pinpoint what happened, what went wrong in this case, but that's not how our intelligence agencies based in the usa. i'm the case working . they all there to preemptively gather intelligence, to preemptively stop the sort of terrorist attacks, not just have information that can be used and be useful after an attack about the police are going to do. so why do we spend this money on all, incredibly invasive intelligence agency, if they are letting these people sit between the cracked time after time after time, not just in the u. k, or the

u. s. or nato won't expand or eastwards. and would that ukraine wont access, and nato the u. s is saying that will not happen. a compromise the u. s. is putting forward is that it would, it would give a heads up to russia each time. for example, there's some sort of military joint exercises or what is blad at in the days ahead or into years ahead. so finding a compromise on that will be extremely difficult. and i think a lot of people, especially here in your grade when he speak to them, they saying that the issue is not only about ukraine and russia, the issues about do u. s. and russia finding some sort of compromise when it comes to this part of the world. not only about. b ukraine. all right, how the other made their law for us in kiev? let's go over to dos jibari now, who's in a moscow dorsey, as what it was mentioning, the russian foreign minister says 11 will be meeting with the u. s. secretary of state on friday. what a rush, an official saying about that meeting? well, according to the foreign ministry spokesperson, this upcoming meeting will determine the next steps in the guarantees that this countr

they're actually very, very interesting because there are ideas that wouldn't necessarily, i mean, not the u. s. is not going to accept everything that's in those documents, may be almost nothing that's in those documents. i think nato is almost secondary here. and i think russia appreciates that they have to do with the united states. and i think the united states understand that to and i think the stalking bug in particular, in the last 2 years has been very much out on a limb. i mean, if we go back to afghanistan again, the nato simply wasn't, it wasn't consulted. no arrangements were made with nato for the if that for the ultimate withdrawal from from afghanistan, even though it was in name and nato led operation, nato was ignored. and i think the same thing is happening over ukraine and russia. you're dealing with in very traditional terms, between the us and russia. but i also think that in the past, the been a lot of questions from not just the united states, but from specialists and from politicians in western europe, in particular saying, we don't understand russia. we don't understand

u. s. senate. not until 1967 was another black elected as a u. s. senator, with the white feared more than anything else. the reconstruction might succeed in my succeed at reordering southern society, white's and an intense hatred for blacks. wanted to get a head, a successful black was a dangerous black and incompetent, illiterate black hose. though threat his labor was valuable, but the black got out of his place was spar anything above the place to which she had been assigned. that is the kind of blood the whites could not tolerate with . so the country started in that road and, and they were derrick and they decided to basically to create another expression of racial dominance. the southerners wanted to control these 4000000 people that had been free. they still needed them to do the work. they also needed them to understand and to know their place in this was something, matt, even northerners would come to understand and agree with that. the states, we're really free to do whatever they wanted to do in terms of controlling this inferior peopl

u. s. presence arrives to talk about his efforts to rebuild america's infrastructure. ah, now ukraine's presidency is urging western nations including the u. s. not disturb panic about the possible russian invasion. flood are made with that, and ski bo didn't rule out further escalation as russia a massive tens of thousands of soldiers near the front line. first day president joe biden told ukraine's leader there's a distinct possibility. moscow may invade next month, which is not the replacement, as we're grateful to the united states for their ongoing support for our sovereignty. but i am the president of ukraine, and i'm based here and i think i know the details more than any other. we do understand what the risks are. it's important that the president should know the situ from me, not the intermediaries. we do not see a bigger escalation. yes, the troop numbers have gone up, but i was talking about the same thing in 2021. when there were drills in the russian federation, there was a big build up. we were supported by the us. europeans called on russia to pull back. i don't think the situation is more intense than that time in early 2021. ther

u. s does not want to see russia in bay ukraine. the u. s. does not want to see war breaking out in eastern europe, and certainly on the bind administration has already said that if there were an invasion of ukraine, that the u. s. would not be deploying ground troops in order to reverse the situation. this is a, however, a matter of trying to not only deescalate tensions, but also prevent us some sort of real shock to the global economy because the u. s . and its allies have been talking about significant economic, ga sanctions against the russian government that could possibly imperil its ability to access international currency markets. and that could be a real blow in the middle of a pandemic, a to the global economy, not just to the russian economy. so there are a number of concerns of that washington has. and they are certainly trying to bring everyone back from a what is arguably a very difficult and tense situation. rosin jordan, reporting from washington d. c. thank you. while germany's new chancellor all are sold says staying silent

not calling an evacuation. they say that this has been in the works for some time. but when you look at it on its face, it looks like the u. s. is very concerned about probable military action from moscow. you see the military lining up or all along the border. so they're concerned about that. and so they're not saying that people have to leave, but they're urging american citizens whether they work for the embassy or not to leave. and what is the significance of the timing around this? we know that they've overseas sent in more military equipment as well. right. and they're the state department sent out a bulletin saying that there are reports that russia is planning significant military action against ukraine. so that's why the u. s. is sending in weapons and such and they also don't want to get flat footed, get caught flat footed. you remember how leaving afghanistan was such a debacle, and this is not the same thing, of course, but you don't want to see people be touch fighting to leave and not being able to do that. so there are urging people to get going in on friday. the talks between the us and russia did not go when

u. s. not a hacker group in, in any way affiliated to the russian government. but the us does believe that at least one of the 14 members of that group that has been detained, was involved in the hack on the colonial pipeline. back in may. now a little bit about that, the colonial pipeline, of course, the biggest pipeline for refined oil in the u. s. hack is still passwords that were on the lease on the dog where they then encrypted a lot of information within the system of the company. they demanded a ransom of $4400000.00 that was paid in a few hours and then the information was decrypted because of that the us put how a $10000000.00 bouncy for information leading to the rest of the hacker group that was executed by the f s b who found of course, millions of dollars as well in stolen money from foreign bank accounts. so let's talk a group has been dismantled at what's been the general reaction so far? well, the reaction has been a little bit of a mix on the us who said they are pleased about these actions of the f s. b in from russian side. of course, they ca

u. s. has not detailed what that might look like, but has indicated that this would include punishing financial sanctions. so the highest levels of the russian government, but the u. s. senate this week going even further drafting legislation to not only put in place those punishing sanctions, but even to level them towards vladimir putin, the russian president, himself. thank you very much, can be how can the latest from washington. meanwhile, the russian far mississauga lover of says his country's prepared to respond. if western nations reject moscow's security proposals, he wants a detailed answer in writing to the demands that russia has made. a main one is a nato commitment that ukraine will never be allowed to join the defense alliance. nato argues that countries should be free to choose their own alliance, says russia wants a band or nato deploying weapons and forces in central and eastern european countries that join the alliance, often $997.00. these include a stony out poland and the chec

u. s. media in its entirety. the u. s. mainstream media represents the pro u. s. government, you not u. s. u. s. government view, they have no clue that the vast majority of americans can't stand american foreign policy. and so what is their, what is their, what is their conclusion? well, should we change our policy? no, let's don't let them watch things that challenge their perspective that challenge their narratives. united states sir, still want after vo over b port or the end of a code or the studio, or one to maintain you start use of a main or a superpower. on to promoter unit put our war where they can no defend, we are interest are all of a war and deny of a countries like russia or china to be your a course is not going to work because a rush on china not gonna accept this unit put our world on promoting murphy put our but to united states, trying to resist and by using proxies like your ukraine to recon, russia and well tensions either ukraine remain high russian foreign ministers there gala ross and u. s. secretary of state anthony blank and to meet in geneva in a couple of hours t

u. s. if you don't have did not have the will to follow through on our own . u. s. lead activity in afghanistan. how much are they sure that we will falls room, protecting our eyes, and how much are we willing to protect the non allies when you're european security is in the balance. u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin is in geneva for a meeting with russian foreign minister, sir. gala rav russia is seeking to halt and nato expansion and membership for ukraine. moldova, the u. s. will not provide such assurances, but instead will encourage diplomacy to resolve security differences. there is new urgency to the negotiations. president biden warned, with russian troops position close to ukraine's border. he believes russian president vladimir putin intends to attack, and a russian invasion of ukraine may be in. kimberly help get al jazeera, the white house. when you're a sector of state anthony blinking has been in berlin. the head of friday's meeting with survey lab brought in geneva. he met with foreign minister officials and germany, france and the u. k. toget

u. s. is very steadfast, that it is opposed to an invasion of ukraine, although it was not specifically discussed at monday's meeting. she did say that the u. s. is trying to find a way to resurrect the intermediate term missile a treaty, that the u. s. and others say that the russians have a broken by stationing on min medium range missiles around its territory aimed at western europe. been. she also said that one thing is not going to change the idea that nato is not going to open its membership to countries that want to be members . she said that would be infringing on those countries right? to decide how to conduct their foreign policy. she did say there's a lot of work to do, but this is just the beginning and whether the russians are trying to basically create a situation to justify an invasion of ukraine. she said, well, we'll just have to see what they're actually doing yet just to focus on that more rosalind. i mean, as you said, no talk or other countries joining nato. of course, a member of nato being a member of nation would mean that an attack on one is an attack on, on all. so is th

u. s. media in its entirety of u. s. mainstream media represents the pro u. s. government, you not u. s. u s. government view, they have no clue that the vast majority of americans can't stand american foreign policy. and so what is their, what is their, what is their conclusion? well, should we change our policy? no, let's don't let them watch things that challenge their perspective. the challenge is their narratives. united states. so still want off to her before the end of a code or the one to maintain the statue. so the main or super power on to promote a unit put on wall where they can no decent interest or all of a wall and deny of a countries like russia or china to be your a course is not going to work because a rush on china not going to accept this unit, put our world on promoting more to put our but to united states, trying to resist. and by using proxies i q craner to recon russia. and while tensions are the ukraine, when name high russian foreign minister, 2nd law, roseann us secretary of state and the billing can meet in geneva to discuss most guys, proposals for regional s

and the relationship with china, of course, are not just the u. s, but the advanced industrial democracies really problematic. there's no trust at all . there's not a lot of alignment. and the chinese are experiencing a lot of their own problems at home, and their problems with a pandemic are getting a lot worse this year. so the backdrop geopolitically is pretty tough. yet your top risk for 2022 is china's 0 covey policy. why is that? what so interesting that back in 2020, once the chinese admitted that they had human to human transmission, they were very quickly the most effective in responding to cope it of all the major governments out there. why? because they could surveil, they could track, they could trace, they could quarantine and they could walk down, stop the cases from spreading. but we all know with omicron, you don't want to focus on cases. you want to focus on hospitalizations and death. but the chinese government still focusing on cases. and very few chinese have gotten coven, so they don't have antibodies. and the vaccines don't wor

u. s. president joe biden. and that's because of the u. s. is view, is that nato and not just the u. s. decide who gets to be a member of this security alliance. and certainly, while it has been widely reported that vladimir putin, the russian president, has long been opposed to the expansion of nato, after the collapse of the soviet union back in 1991. there really is any, there really isn't anything that he can do to prevent countries such as ukraine, if they want it to join the alliance to i'd go through all of the hurdles in order to become a member of that alliance. it's not an easy thing. it's not a done deal. and so what you see is that the u. s. is not going to give up any of its security or any of its promises to its allies in western europe. and certainly the russians have a need to show to their allies, into their citizens, that they are trying to protect russian interests in that region. so really, the most that can be expected is that the 2 sides to decide how to proceed in a relationship. they, there certainly isn't a desire to try to go to war. we saw just a week ago, a

u. s. is not satisfied. russia's main demand, so any indications as to the kremlin next course of action then hello. and they will take some time to consider all options and we've heard from the russian foreign minister earlier when he was briefing the do my hear, that is the legislative body about where things stand and according to surgery, oliver off of the russians are also prepared to respond in any way they can and all options for them are on the table. and they were waiting for this response which came by the u. s. ambassador to this country john sullivan, who went in to the foreign ministry this evening. and he was in there for about 30 minutes. and then he left without addressing any of the questions from reporters outside the foreign ministry. but the russians are likely to study the response from the americans, which will not be made public at the request of the u. s government. the circle of rob had said that last week at the meeting in geneva, a with u. s. secretary of state entity bl

u. s. side is not entirely clear of the russian intentions. and there all kinds of ways to pump up the domestic discourse of the russia threats and to show that the administration is actually aware of what actually is going on. and what exactly the russians are letting victoria newland was talking the other day about the 1800 scenarios that the us intelligence play that's, that's like 800 scenarios is even hard to memorize. so i think that's, that's quite telling us the kind of moods in the, in the see at this moment. but that sad, i should say the situation is very serious. and then indeed, precarious, and hope we don't end up in the cuban missile crisis. 2.0, and that is exactly the analogy i've been using for weeks right now on this program . you know, gamer, 18th and heresy. i mean it, what was the last week of, of the 3 meetings? you know, us rush, rushing the nato russia with the always the, and, you know, and now they're looking at 18 different scenarios. i mean, what are ways to time that was, and it sounds like a level of paranoia, in

u. s. not disturb panic about a possible russian invasion for la them is the landscape though, didn't rule out further escalation is russia masses, tens of thousands of soldiers at the border. on 1st day president joe biden told ukraine's leader is a distinct possibility. moscow may invade next month. charles stratford has more from don yet skin, easton, ukraine, which is controlled by pro russia separatists. the situation can only be described as as very calm. i was the last here in 2017. then my cell phone, countless other international journalists were banned by the oh sorry, it is in the separate controlled areas. so this is the 1st time that we've been given red access. again, the situation does seem calm here, but it's really interesting coming across through i suppose you describe the border area that the check point between the ukranian government side and the separatist side. and it basically feels like you're coming through to another country. they're all very saw checks. there's even
