u. s. lawyer says the only way for international sanctions against russia to be lifted, if the president put him to turn himself in to western authorities in the hague bass, according to seaman rap who previous he served as the u. s. i'm back of the large, full war crime issues. this makes put in a pariah. if he travels, he risks arrest. this never goes away. russia cannot gain really from sanctions without compliance with the warrants. his comment came softly off of the international criminal court issued a warrant to arrest. vladimir, put in the court, has a choose, puts in abducting children from wars zones and the grain conflict. russia has maintained that it evacuate civilians if they are in danger, and made intense fighting. rushes economy has suffered to a lesser degree for the western sanctions than many hours expected when they were initially imposed in 2014. russia has been restructuring its domestic production and focusing on exports to non western countries. have refused to comply with the restrictions. that was a jack ross was professor economics and politics at saint mary's

u. s. shop down a chinese spy balloon. nancy pelosi is visiting last august. what did the foreign minister say regarding the current state of relations between china and the u. s? yes, i did the minister stars by condemning washington, a response to the recent balloon incident, noting that it was the u. s. as false a false impression, impression of trying to turn a very minor incident and very minor and then into a diplomatic crest that could have been averted. and see. and shingle says that he is very much against using competition to character, characterized the relic relationship with the united states, and has attacked the so called 0 sum game narratives, or the so called a cold war attitude. a he also added that the beijing would not remain silent if the u. s. slender or attack china, and that surprising china will not make america great again or stop is rejuvenation . but despite those strong rhetoric, notably the foreign minister still underlined importance or does necessity of forging strong ties between the 2 nations. adding that doing so is in the interest of the people in both count

u. s. says it doesn't believe russia's preparing to use nuclear weapons. it sees no reason to change what it calls it. strategic nuclear posture. is this washington saying, look, we can play this game too, but we're not going to escalate this development. well, i think the u. s. is accurate in the sense that this doesn't really change the military situation. russia could have used weapons from its own territory. i including clinical rad, which is a russian outpost, a very close to europe on the other side of lithuania. and so this doesn't really change their options. this has more to do with politics, are both domestic and international in terms of trying to scare people in europe, especially countries like germany and in terms of telling the russian public that there he found some way to use russian nuclear weapons. what it really says to me is russia's losing the war in ukraine and put in is trying to change the subject. and is this move then by putin also meant, as you say, there to rattle new european nerves? i mean, how worried will countries like ger

u. s. says that russian jet, so in front of the drone on don't fuel in it for sneak down in international waters . now the us as long phone surveillance plains near russia, borders and washington has admitted to sharing intelligence with ukraine. this is the 1st instance involving drones around the black sea region. last october, ukrainian forces carried out a drone attack on the russian fleet in the port city of sever stapo. with moscow accusing the british navy of been involved in that attack, which the u. k. did deny before defense against security policy analyst michael maloof says that the american drone was lightly been used to call the shots for the ukrainian military. that drone probably was used to guide and to give assistance to ukrainians on the ground for targets. i'm a little puzzled by the damage to a propeller by a, by a russian jet without it sustaining without the russian jets sustained damage. but i haven't heard any reports of any damage to the russian aircraft. if in fact it

says. first, the headlight, the headline is u. s. warned ukraine. it faces a pivotal moment in war. say, headland. now let me read you the 2nd paragraph in the story. quote, despite promises to back ukraine as long as it takes biden officials now say recent aid packages from congress and america's allies represent kev's best chance to decisively change the course of the war. it goes on to say many conservatives and the republican lad house had vowed to pull back support, and europe's long term appetite for the funding of the war effort remains unclear. now, those words, that reporting seems to paint mr. biden's recent trip to care of as a mission to let mr. zalinski know that time is not on his side. like, you know, you gotta get giddy up here. right? because support from both americans and european leaders could a road at some point if it isn't starting to a road already. look at this recent story in the new york times, right. very recent headline. the wes tried to isolate russia. it didn't work nor types. and here's the article, oh, here's what the article says about european and o

u. s. says honduras action is a sovereign decision, but has wound that china often makes empty promises. on that boy will not engage in meaningless dollar diplomacy with china. in the past few years, china has constantly use various methods to suppress taiwanese international participation has increased his military incursions against us and attacked regional peace and stability. these precious and threat to a, not all to the reality that taiwan and the people's republic of china and not affiliated with each other. neither will they decrease the will of the taiwanese people to insist on freedom and democracy while walking with big strides towards the world. president joe biden has declared a state of emergency in mississippi. after tornadoes killed 25 people, an injured dozens in the southern u. s. tens of thousands of people in mississippi, alabama, and tennessee remain without power. 2 people have been killed on the shooting in the city of hamburg and northern germany. the public prosecutor sa

washington says the incident was caused by what it is calling a reckless act by 2 russian fighter jets u. s. officials say one of the jets struck the propeller of the reaper, a drone of the type seen here and file footage, causing the drone to crash into international waters. a u. s. air force official says that the maneuver nearly caused the loss of the russian craft to get the latest from the w. corresponded mckayla cooper in washington. mikaela. tell us what we know about this incident at this point as well. what we know from the u. s. general in charge in the region is that these fighter jets initially tried to dump fuel on this drone. and then in one of the 5 digits actually touched the drone. they're called m q 9, so called reaper drones. and as we just saw in our image there, they actually raw the lot with the size of a fighter jet. so this is something that the u. s. white house, national security communications coordinator, and john kirby here described as reckless and dangerous. he said it was not uncommon to have such intercepts, but that this was a downright dangerous and it's s

u. s. a say that china is not at all impartial regarding the conflict, though it should exert pressure on moscow to end it. you can reasonably look at it. china is impartial in any way and they haven't condemn this. now china wants to play a constructive role here in this conflict. then they are press russia to poach troops out of ukraine and ukrainian sovereign territory. they should urge urge president boone to cease bombing cities, hospitals and schools, to stop the war crimes in the atrocities. and end the war today could happen late now. who are severe also announced others under the alarm i showed skepticism about the deepening tied was in moscow. i'm amazing with some saying it would be the west worst nightmare. earlier. my colleague, roy, sushi got a reaction to the chinese prison visit for a panel of guests. they discussed a wide range of issues from the long term impacts of western dominance to the chances of beijing's proposed peace prize for ukraine will actually become a reality. the

u. s. says are russian fighter jets has collided with one of its drones over the black sea, but moscow denies causing the crash. ah, the watching l 0. i'm carry johnston also in the news. focused on a police clash with him on com support his in the hoards. they tried to arrest him also as executive order helps clean firearms out of dangerous hands. you, as president joe biden announced as a tightening of background checks with people buying guns, and at least a 190 people are killed as a southern hemisphere strongest ever tropical cycling, rips through monopoly. ah, the u. s. military has condemned what it calls a reckless maneuver by russian war plate that brought down one of its surveillance strategies over the black sea. the russian foreign ministry denies the claim, insisting there was no russian interference before the aircraft crashed on approach to the crimean coast. 100 reports from washington d. c. us concerns the n q 9 reaper drone has been regularly deployed over the black sea, which

u. s. or the west should, should react or change any policy because of what has been said with this great wall of steel. you know, we've got us general saying that they think fit on the u. s. from china may be at war by the year 2025. i think these, these remarks do reflect the alarm from you as officials that china is developing as military capability is quite, quite rapidly. but i do not believe that the u. s. and china will be at war as soon as 2025. both countries leaders are still intent on trying to stabilize the the relationship. although the relationship isn't a steady decline at this point. but this, a trend of chinese military development will run into more tensions with the u. s. as the u. s. is likely to place more sections on chinese entities that are involved in chinese mil, military and industrial complex efforts. lewis, good them for mores about war to possibilities for peace. there are reports that she's being, we'll meet with the russian president next week, and it's also been reported that he wants to speak with gradient president zalinski as well. how credible is she's in pain when we're talking about a piece mediate or

they are others who were saying that it is important for the u. s. government to prevent a run on other banks. if customers have more money than $250000.00 deposited in those institutions, they say it is critical to keep the u. s. economy on a steady footing. the u. s. president does note that there is growing concern about the situation with the banking sector. and he told reporters on sunday evening that he's going to talk to the nation about it. on monday, economists and financial analysts, robert scott says the fed was as raised, the rising of interest rates has led to banking sector issues that i've has an obligation treasury in the f d. i see actually in this case, the ones who made the announcement, they have an obligation to protect the positives and the banking system. but that begs a larger question. is the fed going to get the message and slow down this program of tightening of the interest rates in the economy? the concern is that the state is going to pitch the economy into a recession. that will cause millions of job bosses and that wi

and what did you as president, what did he say about what the u. s. congress is going to do? yeah, he analysis this morning that he wants to take this back to congress and essentially, and he wants to prove that the regulations he also brought into place when he was vice president under the obama area of iraq could have worked better if it weren't for donald trump, or the republican president having somewhat relaxed those rules again because these 2 banks that have now failed and they were a bit below the current threshold of $250000000000.00 in terms in assets that was really on the radar being as systemically. relevant now they would have been systemically relevant if it were according to those biden rules and above $50000000000.00. we expect that that's going to be the kind of argument the president will now take back to congress to tighten those rules again. but again, it does raise the question, why didn't it do it earlier if you felt strongly about it. so we're not talking about a lot of political wrangling ahead. yeah, i mean, he was sitting in the obama white house wi

u. s. defense department of footage that it says shows a russian aircraft intercepting a u. s. spy drone over the black sea on tuesday, a u. s. authorities say that this video we're about to see shows a russian su 27 fighter jet dumping fuel over the drone. washington says the jet than collided with the drone on a 2nd pass. and we are joined now by military analyst frank ledge, which, who joins us from oxford. i believe frank will be joining us. you. good afternoon. hi frank. let's talk about what this footage footage an edited version actually shows. how would you describe the behavior of the, the russian place a jet well on this one that comes to mind and i'm sure it will totally be made. the word in english is reckless and dangerous for particularly actually for the pilots . but also needless to say, it's very clear that there was a deliberate act and intended to damage or even destroy the drone. given that we now have this evidence, what are the likely consequences of this we don't know too much more than we did last night. i think no one bought the state department's ass

u. s. should stop these provocative acts, but a very stern line. they're saying that the u. s. should bear the consequences of any unforeseen incidence. now of course, this is not the 1st confrontation in the south china sea, but what makes this very dangerous and risky is the timing were at a time when china us relations are at an all time low and distrust between the shoe countries is at an old time high and both government and seem to be having is increasingly hawkish, attitude towards each other. should there be any incident that happened in the south china sea, things could spiral out of control in many endless lives spoke. would you say that could be even a potential conflict or something that could be a to lead lead to was so i think of china is warning against that. we have heard this language before, but the stern warning does give you a sense that china is saying, look, if, if there's no change here, things could escalate in a way that neither government wants to see. okay, thank you for that. katrina, you that 1st life in beijing north korea says that it's military a
