u. s. really wants to get the to being on the same page. and i think we do have the, an acceptance from both her south korea and japan that the u. s. o, that they should bury their differences for now, especially at this critical phase for their more important ally, the u. s. and we are hearing those kinds of sounds coming from the different participants at younger young, the south korean foreign minister saying that his talks with his japanese counterpart, her yeah. she had been extremely constructive. they had a, a bilateral meeting where he says, yes, they have differences, but they are willing to overcome those differences despite the difficulty and agree to work closely together. so, messages like that, i think will be music to antony, blink, and ears. as he departs asia pacific, heading for crises, new rob abroad with that update. thanks so much, rob. now taliban leaders in afghanistan speaking out against the u. s. decision to return any half of these $7000000000.00. it holes in foreign reserves. president joe biden set aside the other half a 911 victims and the afghans demanding the money back as their country free falls into economic disaster

u. s role in the russia ukraine conflict. according to a new poll from the associated press. an o r c center for public affairs research 26% of americans say the u. s should have a major role in the conflict between russia and ukraine. the poll found. 52% of americans think the u. s should have a minor role in that conflict, and 20% say the u. s shouldn't be involved at all. and we'll, of course be keeping track of the latest developments from ukraine during this newscast, but you can find round the clock updates on our website ktvu .com. alameda county recruit david wynn would have graduated from city college of san francisco this month, but his life was cut short when he was shot and killed on a bay area freeway. coming up how the school community remembered him tonight. it will be the second consecutive night of record low temperatures here in the bay area, plus the day it will top off near 70 degrees. we've got the full forecast coming up. and those frigid temperatures are leaving thousands of the bay area's homeless out on the area's homeless out on the streets without shelter oh, wow, barbara corcoran! good morning. sorry, we don't need any business

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 to thou, or kabul is a city under pressure. many can barely afford to eat much, but all the more. and as though i was good, 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 in the u. s. says it will use the release funds to buy i much needed aids, but not by the taliban, which it doesn't recognize as the legitimate governments. taliban leaders say it's not america's money to give away that when it's tom. hello. hello, whoa. the people of afghanistan want the

u. s. should have limited involvement in the crane russia conflicts. so why is the u. s. have involved in this and is it mostly the support is european allies or do you think it's something bigger? well, the 84 percent opposes us troop or u. s. military involvement here. foreign adventures have become very unpopular over the last 1520 years as well. certainly since 2005 become very unpopular and the american public does not support sending us boys to ukraine, especially was the one that is not an article 5 nato member. it be interesting to see if that survey had tested using sanctions and whether not, americans were to the extent to which americans are willing to absorb higher energy prices. are americans willing to send a defensive military aid to ukraine? are they willing to see the u. s. military provide electronic warfare support or reconnaissance support to ukraine. should a conflict unfold, i'd like to see those numbers. but one thing that's unfortunate here, and i've talked a lot of my russian friends, everybody knows that, you know, i'm, i like, i have a lot of ru

u. s. a chinese for ministry spokesperson suggested that the u. s. should ask yourself, who's been the aggressor in those conflicts? meanwhile, big to go and international relations experts at china's suture university won the sanctions against russia will be mutually destructive for the west. china believes that ukraine has been very much used by the united states and western countries in attempting to recruit ukraine into nato, which is very, very aggressive. as far as russia is concerned, very destabilizing of peace and stability in that part of the world. such sanctions will be very mutually destructive a, mainly because russia is a very, very important country in the world. politically, militarily, in terms of energy, you cannot make relations of all kinds. and russia is such an important and indispensable energy supplier to so many countries in europe saw by taking out russia from the swift settlement system, for example. as well as making it almost impossible to russia to deal with other countries in europe, in terms of trade export, energy, business

u. s. should not be an apologist for these really government as well as for his support a palestinian rights. a lecount minister accused natalie portman, who is israeli and american of engaging in borderline anti semitism. when she declined to go to israel to accept an award out of protest against former prime minister benjamin netanyahu policies. what do you make of the fact that even jewish people are being censored and accused of anti semitism? well, and very alluded to, you know, this really is about policing 1st and foremost, palestinian expressions of their own history, their own experiences, their it reality under israeli oppression. and it also functions to make pariahs of anyone who stands in solidarity with them, who expresses support for palestinian freedom, who criticizes israel's own practices. and so i think it's part of the current developments over the last 10 or so years where you've seen increasing questioning within that jewish community of israel's practices. and that's in larg

u. s. should be more concerned with what's going on and it's southern border than what's going on on the border of you crane. we also heard from mike marco rubio, the florida senator, who said exploration all the ukrainians were standing up against russia. that reminded him of the american revolution, and perhaps the most extreme point of view we've heard was that of donald trump, himself, who has said that it was savvy of last year to do this. and that he was a genius. we're likely to hear more about that because the president is expected to speak here on saturday night. yeah. and, and john, i mean, what do we expect the former president to be saying when he speaks there is always speculation when donald trump speaks at any main event these days that he might announcer run for the presidency in 2024 to be doing it in the home state of rhonda sanchez, the florida governor, who also has ambitions for the presidency. but we expect to trump is probably going to have to address ukraine. many of the sp

u. s. will allow for another country beach to be taken over for the u . s. gets involved. this was how he justified, how this back to american security, and why the u. s. should be this involving your grade. i like the sen normally, but do you agree with this? does this situation actually in ukraine regardless of where it goes, have a direct impact on us security? of course not. and, you know, one of the big things i've heard from these senators, in these representatives in the united states were talking about ukraine and the threat of invasion from russia. they continue to, you know, tell this lie that russia wants to decimate ukraine's economy. they want to stabilize the nation. well, it was the united states in 2014 who lead a who in ukraine and stripped the ukrainian people of their free speech. and it also is the united states now, who is drumming up all of this hysteria over an invasion in the war which is causing economic devastation in ukraine itself. so if us and the senators and the congress, people are the ones who are saying that russia is trying to stabilize your brain and destroy their economy. i think the u. s. is actually done, ironically, a p

u. s. should be imposing sanctions look for an invasion, not afterwards, but the secretary of state saying something that he's had said before and that is that once you trigger sanctions, then you remove that particular the terran. so the u. s. wants to keep these sanctions as a threat. it does not want to impose them before a invasion takes place, arguing that that would remove the last deterrent that they have the set odds of clearly with the ukrainian precedent given his comments. but at the same time, the secretary of state are holding a balancing act. they're saying that the invasion is imminent. once again at the same time saying he wants to talk. and hopefully we'll talk with the russian foreign minister in coming days. or i might, thanks, wrote my canada in washington dc as to let her in out 0, the hub to, to graduate and her. and to get job. now we don't even have that kind of thinking with, thus gathering in nigerian lecture halls will tell you why tens of thousands of students might not

u. s . should be invoking sanctions before the invasion, not afterwards, but president biden has just signed an executive order applying sanctions on individuals and entities in the breakaway republics in ukraine. and we heard from a state department official to a very important fact that at this stage it appears the u. s. is not seeing this action as something that could trigger sanctions. that is something that is still to be clarified. but the senior administration official saying that at this stage, that sanctions package may not be invoked as a result of the latest declaration by president putin. but the administration official said that more for sanctions will be forthcoming as soon as tomorrow. perhaps. so the us now pondering at what stage does russian action constitute an invasion? because it has pledged that should such an invasion take place, it would invoke it's full package of sanctions. the details of which we still do not know out 0. my can are reporting live her from washington. mik

u. s. should take you through some people who are on that list the sig, a showing you the defense minister of foreign ministry spokesman maria the heart of maria is harvey has already said that these sanctions are illegitimate. and her response to this list by the european union, v b bank head, the eager schuval of v b, or an important bank, or course in russia. they also sponsor one of the football team, says come moscow, who have had sanctions that meets it against them via by the u. s. will come to that a little bit later. now, of course, joe biden was one to assign a decree, calling for sanctions against russia. after, after this recognition of the 2 republics as independent after that, of course the, the rest of the west followed suit. now back in the u. k bar, as johnson has had a little bit of a tough time. he's mentioned roman brockovich, of course, famous billionaire who owns chelsea football club. now he said that roman brockovitch was under sanctions. then he said that he wasn't sure an

u. s. should take and ukraine. we're going to ask our panel. and do you remember the 5 cases against the governor, andrew cuomo, which caused him to step down from office? the da has just dropped the final criminal probe of the sexual misconduct, which means there will be no criminal court prosecution for the former governor, for the action, and is only punishment being removed from office. we will discuss this serves as an f justice for the 5 victim t allegedly assaulted and is a good thing when politicians fulfill their campaign promises, except when it means a giving a sex offenders a juvenile sentence. but one wonders, how can someone who says this actually get elected? well, look, no further than the district attorney's office. where bring you the latest outrageous case of justice. not being served from george guess cons office. i'm sorry, i know you said news use use. we're going to look at these stories plus, i'm insane. video of an angry brawl which broke out at one buffet when they ran out of meet in a scary highway shooting all caught

u. s. should consider imposing sanctions before russia invades, rather than after. antony been king reiterating a comment of statement that he's made also in recent days. and that is that sanctions out there as a deterrent. he says the us has put together a massive package of sanctions, but it's not going to impose these sanctions and told russia invades because he says then the last to tear and to stop that invasion goes away. so at ot, sir, with the ukranian president in terms of the position on sanctions, russian ambassador, we've heard from him to what see been saying well, anatolia, and turned off her gave a spirited defence of the russian position on us television. saying that reports of an invasion were absolutely false, denying allegations of false flag operations. denying that the it russia was in any way acting in a provocative manner. saying that russia had every right to do what it did that had a right for example, to have bases in neighboring belarus, and possibly moldova saying that

u. s. shouldo be ready for the standoff to stretch out for months perhaps while ukraine's economy collapses. what do you make of that scenario? and would putin face consequences for that? >> first, that's a possibility as well. it's exactly why we announced a billion dollar loan guarantee just last week. that's on top of previous loan guarantees we provided to ukraine for a total of $4 billion to shore up its economy. at the same time the europeans are doing the same thing, both on a direct country to country basis but also the european union making available to ukraine also a couple weeks ago a credit facility of more than a billion dollars. we're also helping ukraine work with the imf to shore up its economy, to pursue reforms, to make sure it's able to stand on its feet -- >> would putin face consequences if that sult mat what he does, he just chokes the economy there? >> we are very focused with all of oush allies and partners on ensuring that russia does face consequences for the actions that

u. s. is paying this amount to those who lost their lives in the 911 attacks than the u. s. should pay comp sation for the 20 year war, and the people who died in afghanistan without war carpool is a city under pressure. many can barely afford to eat much, but other, more than i. so i was good. 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. o. xtreme 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 thought the u. s. says it will use to release funds to buy much needed aid, but not by the taliban, which it doesn't recognize as the legitimate governments. taliban leaders say it's not america's money to give away that when it's done. hello, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. the people of a

u. s. and germany. the concept longer should partner the trans atlantic partnership between the u. s. than europe, nato minds on disclosures organ fades, the same thing speak with one voice and do things together. and we made it very clear if there was a military aggression against ukraine. this will entail severe consequences that we agreed upon together with severe sanctions that we have worked on together. so that will be a high price for russia from this is a very clear message. everybody has understood it, and i think this message has been made clear again and again so that even russia has understood the message. now, what is important that we also intensively worked on the bus, preparing possible sanctions to get them fun. we don't want to start the ones are there is a military aggression against ukraine. mind we have prepared a reaction that will help us to react swiftly if needed. and we'll, we'll do that at the same time. it is important to you all diplomatic means we have and i'm very glad was about your one of the great, this is going to be dr. move forward together. especi

u. s. reaction. should the invasion take place once again, outlining that sanctions package that he threatened in recent weeks, including and singling out to the closure of the nor to pipeline from russia to germany. now this is something that he'd been reluctant to expressly say would be part of the sanctions package, no longer making very clear that it would, despite the impact that it would have on the u. s's ally, germany. so a once again, 8 to tone, it's better to speech by the, a president on the one hand reiterating threats against russia. should the invasion go head on the other hand, opening up the possibility of continued negotiation. and he was also reaching a was not just talking to americans. he's also talking to russians. wasn't he saying that at the u. s. in nature, not a threat to russia? well, that was an interesting aspect of his particular statement or saying that the u. s . does not threaten the ordinary russian apparently attempting to counter what the biden administration would see on

u. s. why should the us have a special role at all? i mean, that strikes me as highly dubious. the question of child welfare is a very important one. i mean, she was in the care of adults and if she did indeed, adjuster forbidden substance, then it suggests it implies that she, that others cause her to had a role in her and her so doing, i don't know, but these are certainly important areas to look into in terms of the media coverage of this case. obviously it is, as you mentioned rightly a sensitive issue, a complex case. but the western media headlines were very damning of. busy value, but even before the case was resolved, do you think the fact she's rushing to that connection ality led to being perhaps treated differently in the case of another athlete box being the same situation without question. i mean, i think it's, i, it's that clear that we look at there's, that, there's a, there's a in the west, there's war fever, swift sweeping through. western capitals, where supposedly russia is planning to invade the ukraine. any moment these are the headlines were bombarded with

u. s. u k. and you purchases of russian energy will equal $330000000.00 in just 124 hour period. so that's a real lever, but i should add an important signal from this morning was when chance german chancellor schultz announced that nordstrom too, would be put on the back burner. so that sent an important message to the rest of the member states that that they were sincere about sanctions. but that won't hurt because it's not really been used yet. it hasn't been certified. so it's a signal that they want to have intense sanctions. but this is the 1st trench of sanctions because the big debate now is how they actually invaded, or the going into regions that were previously occupied by russian proxy troops. so i think the kremlin has deliberately this rather opaque, and so this must be like, stepped sanction. so there was a big debate about what has actually happened. right, right. well talking about energy as you're just brought up. i wanted to ask about that because that's really been a major pain point for europeans this winter. now we're seeing oil and gas prices jumping today even higher amid this escalation. how

we should know that there is a u. s. presence in syria. i'll be it rather covertly with special forces. and there have been a lot of criticism about civilian deaths. duty was operations. in this case, it's looking like the civilian deaths were the result of the targets exp, explosive device, and not us forces. so what does this signal it does? the us think the i s is on the rise again? well, we heard from bite in, during the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan that they spent with regards to afghan us in. but also generally the region, the u. s. wasn't going anywhere just because it's physical presence was gone by them. what he likes to call over the horizon attacks over the horizon operations, where you can use drones or you can put in special forces in a targeted way to go after certain, you know, targets of interest for us forces. isis has been, at least in some 4 way shape and form defeated in syria. been very quiet. certainly even the last few years where there was very heavy, heavy combat operations involving turkey involving kurdish

u. s . and germany in terms of what should be done and should russia invade. and that is something that concerns the whole of nato. that's not just the u. s. german difference. it's also a german difference with its nato allies. and is there any indication, do you think of what biden told chancellor show on us plans going forward? well, the u. s has been very clear about a 2 pronged approach. we heard it again from state department in the course of the day. it's all about the terrence and diplomacy. the u. s. continues to say as president biden, that there, that the preference is for a diplomatic solution. at the same time add methods of the terence have to be used to bring about such a solution perhaps. but at the same time as well, the u. s. has been saying that to impose sanctions before any invasion would remove that threat of to terrance. now that is a complicated issue and one which some of the u. s. allies do not necessarily agree with, but certainly president biden would have spoken to the chancellor about the u. s. program of a what he would call de te

u. s officials have said americans in ukraine should not expect the u. s military to rescue them in the event that air and rail transportation is severed. if an invasion does happen now many big areas, ukrainians who still have loved ones in that country worry as they watch these developments unfold. ktvu greg liggins picks up our coverage of this international tension. after speaking with one of them today. the situation looks very ominous . all the indications are of an imminent invasion. igor markov drew up in ukraine but now calls the bay area home on february six. he took part in this demonstration in front of san francisco's ferry building to raise awareness about the crisis occurring in his homeland. markov says relatives back home are fearful and concerned about a potential russian invasion. they don't know what kinds of problems may arise. them might need food, they might need medicine they might need to relocate. the biden administration has called on americans in ukraine, including embassy personnel to leave immediately, citing the risk they'll

u . s. has of that certainly the u. s. president has suggested that american civilians should be leaving ukraine. this seems to be followed up by other governments as well. just remind us what you were talking about before we went to the press conference. yes, indeed, we've got the dutch embassy advising a dutch citizens to leave ukraine if they can. you've got the u. s. president, oh joe biden, advising american citizens to do the same. and what i can say is that, you know, a few days ago, we were talking here in kiev about this sense of optimism. because there had been this flurry of diplomacy would seen the french president come through t as in moscow, various other western leaders. and there was a sense of hope that perhaps the situation was getting better. but what i can say is it certainly doesn't feel like that. now not only do we have some wes nations asking their citizens to leave, but you have a situation in which the russian military buildup continues on 3 sides. you have those russian military exercises to the north of ukraine and ben averse, less than 200 kilometers away from right h
