u. s. that has basses all over the world and has many more troops and has a military budget 12 times that of russia. and of course then the reference which you might have expected in the speech like this, referring to that famous meeting of colin powell making the case for war in iraq, w. m d holding up that vile. and he said this was exactly the same that making a case for a war that is unproven and untrue. and clearly this is the russian ambassador trying to make a case to the international community. and to refute what we heard earlier on from the us, ambassador linda thomas greenfield. this is what she said to the security council. the situation we're facing in europe, it's urgent and dangerous. and the stakes for. busy ukraine and for every un member state could not be higher rushes action strike at the very. busy heart of the un charter. in addition to military activity, we've also seen a dramatic spike in cyber attacks on ukraine in recent weeks. russian military and intelligence services

first that there would be severe economic sanctions that the u. s. u t t up that there would be significant sort of political sanctions in terms of the treatment of russia going forward. and that there would be significant upping of nato military presence in the eastern plank allies. nato allies that are close to ukraine and feel the most direct sense of the threat from russia, and that the u. s. has said that it would increase its assistance, military assistance directly to ukraine in the event that such a conflict. so those are the sort of deterrent threats that are on the table that the u. s. and italians are using to try to effect rest calculus. what would you advise you as president biden, to do immediately in order to avert the military car from to conflict? well, i think they're doing the right thing this week on the diplomatic path, needs to be pursued with vigor. and we need to be, you know, as flexible within the parameters of, you know, our principles and our policies that we can. because the alternative to diplomacy, increasingly, it seems

that price. and before we go, u. s. president joe biden has visited the site of a bridge that collapsed earlier friday. luckily no one was killed, but several people received minor injuries. when the 50 year old bridge near pittsburgh, pennsylvania went down. rescuers pulled people from a city bus that dropped into the 50 meter ravine. or, ironically, vine was in pittsburgh to promote his one trillion dollar infrastructure law. he pledged to fix all of the u. s. as aging bridges. and that's all for me and the team here in berlin. thanks for watching. ah ah, we already knew that the ocean is a massive c o 2 reservoir, but did not know that the fish have something to do with it. could we slow down climate change by catching fewer fish? why didn't we think of this before? to morrow to do next on d w. oh, you mean indiana gazing. this is for you to the perfect world and that's been my world for over 40 years in patsy. the 3rd knows all about the secret to the snow globe because he's grandfather invented it. we visit his wo

he said that the u. s. says they're willing to talk, but they don't seem to want to talk about the key issue and that is ukraine's request to join nato. and that is something the russians want to discuss with the americans. and apparently the americans are not receptive to that the u. s. has said that they're not going to allow russia to dictate who can and cannot join to 30 member alliance. but for this country, that is very much of what is at stake here. and they say that they are doing carrying out these military exercises within their own land, alongside the border with ukraine. and it's not for anybody else to dictate where they can move their troops within their own country. dorothy, all of this is happening as the iranian president has addressed. russia's parliament walk us through walter, president abraham are you see sit he's here on his 1st official state visit. it's a 2 day visit and the president just reiterated the cooperation that they has government wants to have an expand with this country. t

u. s. in the and it has no choice but to do what the u. s. that, that the u. s. says that it's, you know, that it's, or you already said by the way it will go to war over the ukraine at the us. we made that quite clear even though if a conflict, but it wasn't too rough. it would probably still be dragged him by hook or by crook . but what the us was, what the u. s. as the ukraine has no choice, but to go along with dallas, janice, north, i love to have you on the program, get your views. so i know you're often with people of all most get on the new site as well. have a good evening day. there were close to this with the new york city, but by that, you know, next we go hello. read this prime minister boris joseph is admitted that he did attend a dining street policy in the back garden opiate the heights of the 1st national, colbert lockdown in 2020. he apologized to britain's earlier on here at the time. of course not even allowed to go into one another's homes, let alone visit the elderly, dying sick, loved ones, while arguing. he thought you say there for 20 minu

u. s. knows that that's why the u. s. is playing with fire. this is extremely provocative and it gives y to the idea that us is now solidly pledging not to use nuclear weapons. just finally, the timing of the declaration. is there anything notable about thought? is that ukraine, that is the issue to the fore front of people's mind? well, i think so. i mean, look, we're, we're at a dangerous moment perhaps the most dangerous moment. certainly since the u. s. nato attacks it and destruction of yugoslavia in 1999. that was just 22 years ago. people keep talking about the last major war in europe with 1945 know the u. s. and nato destroy yugoslavia 22 years later in the ukraine, u. s. is playing with bi, you're right on russian border and an existential e threatening way. this is a game of chicken, but you know, the people of the world, the people of russia, europe, certainly people have ukraine, don't want this. they need peace. finally, finally, but yet there is so much talk, particularly in western media of an old conflict happening on the ukrai

that was hand delivered to the foreign minister here in moscow on wednesday evening about the u. s. response and that the russian president said that the answer they got from the u. s. government did not answer the main concern that the russians have. and that is, of course, the expansion of nato and the possible addition of ukraine to the 30 member alliance, which is very much red line for this country. their russian president also told his front counterpart that he will study the document closely and then decide on the next steps that will come. and the 2 leaders also reaffirmed that they will continue speaking to each other and the path of dialogue remains open. this is the line we've been hearing from the kremlin over the past few days as well since they received this response. and were they said that they will officially respond to the american government. but in terms of the threats and rhetoric coming from washington, it's again dismiss as very much rhetoric as misinformation and hysteria that is created by the u. s. government to try and force key of into taking some kind o

now that could escalate out of control and eventually involve the u. s. but there, you know, a bunch of steps that would have to, that would come in between fighting in eastern ukraine or in any part of ukraine and the u. s. force or conflict. if we were to see a full scale invasion of ukraine by russia, what kind of reaction would you expect from nato? well, i think the, the us and its allies in nato have been pretty explicit about that. first that there would be severe economic sanctions that the u. s. you have sort of teed up that there would be significant sort of political sanctions in terms of the treatment of russia going forward. and that there would be significant upping of nato military presence in the eastern plank allies. nato allies that are close to ukraine and feel the most direct sense of the threat from russia, and that the u. s. has said that it would increase its assistance military systems directly to ukraine in the event that such a conflict. so those are the sort of deterrent threats that are on the table that the u. s. and italians a

u. s. that ukraine and also georgia would never be admitted as members and level of today accused the u. s. being quite crafty in his response of only picking out the things he wants to talk about and completely ignoring the substantive issue of the sensor. the german parliament has marked holocaust. remember and stay with a special ceremony including tributes to victims and witness testimony. remembrance day marks the liberation, 77 years ago of the outfits extermination camp. 11000000 men, women and children were murdered. she survived the delays inch dot concentration camp, which she entered with her parents when she was just 7 years old. 20 members of english, our back has family, were killed by the nazi regime. she endured horrible conditions, antilles inch that for 3 years and was bedridden for, for more. such was the dire effect on her health. to day on holocaust memorial day, alabama warned the german boone, this tug that anti semitism is still alive. oh papa no. oh, and i still have ver

u. s. that has that type of legislation here in the u. k. r. official secret talk also locked a public interest offense. so the same type of case could be brought here. that's why it's been possible for a fonts to be pursued in this way. we call not only for the case against him to be dropped for the legislation that allowed for the case be opened to be amended. the espionage act needs a public interest, defends, an all relevant legislation around the world does as well. i'm just gonna go to youtube because there's some curiosity about public opinion in the u. k. about julianna's sanchez case. is it in the papers? is it on the radio? is it in the news? thank people cast data. i think they care more and more and in fact, i think the papers have been covering the case. increasingly they're starting to understand how this, the implications of this case for them. because joanne case is going through the u . k court. and that means the u. k. courts are making determinations about how you know, how the equivalent of the espionage act, the official

u. s. that ascending weapons and equipment, they're sending anti tank missiles, javelin missiles and sting antea cough missiles. other countries like germany are saying no, were blocking the transfer of weapons. and france is arguing that perhaps it's the not the u. s. that should be negotiating with russia on these sort of divisions. and there are some divisions just going to embolden president putin. i don't call them the division since it may be different from the other side. but these are democracies, you know, they are debates going on. but on the key principles, you have discussions among key allies in they told us france, germany, european union, and all these key principles there is agreement. nato has to follow the elements, look after our most exposed countries, rafeely, and security in these, in these weeks and reassure them. and here i think, you know, the rational president has a responsibility himself, you know, does, he contributes to reassurances, just ability to the environment.

u. s. position on that. also gala ross press conference was followed up with one from u. s. secretary of state anthony blinkin b u. s. chief diplomat saying that the diplomatic route remained open to finding a solution for the tensions between russia and the west right now. he said that he received the sure answers from said galen, for all the richer had no intention of invading ukraine at this moment. he said he'd received those assurances in the past as well, but that if the actions of russia didn't match up to that, then there would be a response from the united states and its allies and not response would be swift, severe, and united. and he said that there will be a response from washington to those concerns that were voiced by m moscow and that response will be coming in the next week. he also said that there's ways and means available to take the heat out of the current situation. transparency, confidence, building measures, military exercises, arms control agreements. these are all things that we've actually done in the past . and that if a address seriously can, i

u. s. that we've been seeing in the recent weeks, so it'll be kind of a new place for them to square off to face off and ahead of this meeting today. russia already said that the u. s. initiative to hold this un security council meeting about ukraine is just a p r stunt from the russian point of view. they've been saying again and again, they never have plans to attack ukraine, that they still don't plan to attack it. and in fact, the russian focus isn't really so much on ukraine at all. it's been in the last few weeks actually on trying to get these security guarantees, particularly on the, on a stop to nato eastern expansion. when it comes to the actual meeting. today, observers have been saying that russia will potentially try to derail the meeting by holding a vote on whether that meeting should take place at all. and when it comes to concrete outcomes, they have a veto in the un security council. as one of the 5 permanent members, members in that council, so there's unlikely to be a concret

that price. and before we go, u. s. president joe biden has visited the site of a bridge that collapsed earlier friday. likely no one was killed, but several people received minor injuries. when the 50 year old bridge near pittsburgh, pennsylvania went down. rescuers pulled people from a city bus that dropped into the 50 meter ravine. or, ironically, vine was in pittsburgh to promote his one trillion dollar infrastructure law. he pledged to fix all of the u. s. as aging bridges. and that's all for me and the team here in berlin. thanks for watching hulu. it shows that the issue is shaping the continents news africa were gone with what's making the headlights and what's behind with the way on the streets to give you enough reports on the insights, all the trend stuff. my talk to you next on d w a . and when you go right for with water, your city is an all time high. people demand radical solutions corporation claim they can handle the crisis, but asking what caused eco, india? in 60 minutes on d. w with hello guys, this

but of course, the bigger thing that the u. s. government is concerned about is the fact that the civil war in yemen has not been resolved. and it is trying to push for a quick resolution of that war while also are reminding its allies own notably the saudis, who have been leading the push back as it were, to refrain from doing anything that would harm yamini. civilians are doubt is being cost on why the poland new border will will do much to stop people crossing from batteries. it started construction on the huge structure i missed after a migrant crisis on the european union's eastern flank last year. but the people meant to be deterred by it. so to have dental choice, but to try anyway. journal reports who cause anita in east component. ah, once complete in the summer, poland wall will be a $186.00 kilobytes as long fullness for the length of the bold. alive with feller roofs. will it stop almost daily attempts by refugees and migrants to make the illegal crossing? probably not according to a kurdish immigration lawyer who spo

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 agreement than that. we have with us the, the membership of asset is so diverse. you have very rich countries like singapore, you have very poor countries like lauzon, cambodia, the populace nations. so you cannot, you have to cancel tha

we at least know that the u. s. military advisors were training ukrainians, ukrainian forces, specifically after the events of euro. my don in 2014, but that was all. busy on ukrainian soil, we also, we for marcia executive said that going back decades the cia has provided limited training to ukrainian intelligence units to try and shore up, you know, and i suppose it independent kiev and prevent russian subversion as i saw it. but that cooperation specifically was ramped up after the crimea became a part of russia. now we did reach out to the cia and the defense, the defense department of the united states for comments. so of course we'll bring our viewers any response we get. i know the story we have been speaking about for some time. another twist in it's just really as agreed to delay the deportation of tennis superstar novak joke of which it comes up to the countries. immigration minister on friday revoked his visa for a 2nd time to day. i exercised my power to cancel the visa held by mister novak joke of h on

u. s. remain on different tracks. that's the conclusion of the cremeans spokesperson, following security talks between the countries this week, talking to u. s. media, he also rejected the latest accusations still being voice in washington that moscow is preparing a false flag operation in order to invade ukraine. in well, on friday, sweden began deploying armored vehicles and soldiers in response to increased quote russian activity in the region according to its military, some 10 armoured combat vehicles and dozens of armed personnel. sedley faithfully the small port time of visit on the strategically located island of goslin. the move came after 3 russian london ship sailed into the baltic sea, amid increase tensions between russia and that nato. we saw this playbook in 2014, i. they are preparing this playbook again and the, and we will have the administration will have further details on what we see as this potential laying of a pretext to share with the press. over the course of the next 24 hours mr. sullivan promised t

u. s. i is, oliver said, that really isn't the case. said he was surprised at those words by blinking gossip . latasha anthony b. u. s. secretary of state blinking argues that what president putin has done over the past couple of years has only speeded up everything that wouldn't would like to prevent on which basis does blink and make such comments. do you think we present putting 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 someone thinks that russia is in the pocket of the west. much of what is being said, today's connected with escalating tensions around the russian federation. this, you see that sig, i love raw veggies, press office today, pulling absolutely no punches. as regards the west in nato, he's called out the hypocrisy of nate, so purporting to stand out full human rights. however, than supporting a bloody cruise and c

although i don't think that's politically tenable within the u . s. so instead i do believe it should begin focusing much more and sort of sunrise industries as well as more will sitting within the international training space in your building to few that are done for the digital space right now with the calmer secretary romando going on her se asia tour and discussing the sort of digital trade arrangement. so i think it's very important to watch and see what develops in that front. i saw you just now nodding to some of what niels was saying, did you want to jump in? yeah, i did. i mean, i don't think the u. s. has any choice politically, it can't join our c p because that would be capitulating to china. can't join t c t p p because it wouldn't get the 23 provisions that were struck down which were in favor of the us and especially the larger corporations. i think where they should be looking at as the w t o u. s. is holding the keys there, they're refusing to allow any appellate judges in there and therefore there's no enforcement mechanism. w t o nee

u. s. at this critical juncture, when you have that report that you were showing earlier in which the u. s. government believes that russia is on the verge of some kind of false flag operation or another operation that might set off a military conflict. there are a jumbo effects of that. i was there was john henry that live in chicago of our joke of hitches fighting attempts to support him from australia. the tennis started back in detention after a studious immigration minister cancelled his visa over his claim for a vaccine exemption. that's the 2nd time his visa has been revoked with our lives out of brisbin out 0. sarah clark is there, sarah, the saga continues. what happens next? beside the saga certainly does continue. the last our joke of which has been interviewed once again body is tried in border officials and a federal court hearing resumes and the next few minutes in melbourne. and this of course, is a joke of his team once again trying to block his deportation on the eve of the opening of the australian open, which begins on monday. now the federal government canceled his vis

and before the time being, this is really seen as a pass that is a last ditch effort. the u. s. has said that they are going to offer the russian foreign minister an off ramp of sorts to get off this course of rhetoric that we're all in at the moment. i will only lead to further escalation. they are trying to save that from happening and trying to de escalate the situation. thank you for that door, said barry in moscow for us. in other news, the united nation says it's stepping up its response to the volcanic eruption and nami. in tonga, the government has described it as an unprecedented disaster. australia and new zealand are sending age by boat because tongue has main runway has been covered in ash. wayne have re for some oakland help is on its way to tongue up to new zealand navy ships carrying supplies have begun a 3 day journey which should see them arrive on friday. perhaps the most essential cargo will be fresh water and a dissemination plot to make more while the ships of their we're hitting their way now. with a whole lot of water, the ship can hold. currently holds ove

that. she prices, in any case, this baker will continue to try to convince her customers with the quality of forgets instead of their price. and before we go, u. s. president joe biden has visited the site of a bridge that collapsed earlier friday. luckily no one was killed, but several people received minor injuries. when the 50 year old bridge near pittsburgh, pennsylvania went down. rescuers pulled people from a city bus that dropped into the 50 meter ravine, or ironically, vine, was in pittsburg to promote his one trillion dollar infrastructure law. he pledged to fix all of the u. s. as aging bridges. and that's all for me in the team here in berlin. thanks for watching hulu. to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives, the dire warnings mount as russian forces dig in on ukraine's border and diplomatic todd stall calls for germany to play a more active role are also growing louder. is it letting its allies down, join us on to the point to that point with d. w for whiskey? ah, we'll come to the dark side where intelligence agencies pursue their own agenda. the cia director was trying to mislead again the preside

and the now that the other issue, of course in the u. s. is the fact that the fed, the federal reserve, might raise interest rates maybe 3 times this year. so that will raise boring rates . and that's, of course, an issue for developing countries as i mentioned in that report. because of course, that makes the dollar more expensive. another reason is supply chain issues and of course that might also be something that could impact china because of course they have a 0 called strategy. specifically the downgrade for the chinese economy. links to the fact that china has been struggling with its real estate market sector. we've all heard of the ever grand story that was the bigger stories in china or out of china last year, at least a business story. and then the 2nd reason was the fact that private consumption in china is weaker than expected in terms of recovery. so those are definitely issues that they are looking out for and those where the major reasons for the downgrades, for those 2 economies. so going back to developing markets and the i

but you don't see any movement on the demands at all, no concessions that the u. s. might be willing to offer to russia, for example, just one scott is really interested to read it by the the fact that there's an u. s. nuclear weapons in europe, germany, belgium, italy, turkey at that seems to be an on starter as well. getting those out of the continent, the united states and nato for decades. now, it said that the, the u. s. nato nuclear relationship is not up for negotiation. you know, this isn't the 1st time russia's tried to have those weapons brought into, into an arms control negotiation. and it won't be the last but for, for the time being. need on united states will not yield on this. i think the most important thing that's come out of this is that the russian actions have shown that despite the rhetoric of stolen burg, spite the rhetoric of lincoln despite the rhetoric of iden, that nato in europe or not, is unified as one might think. on this issue now, the best way to get them unified would be for russia to take a precipitous military action against ukraine

you craig would like to see those sanctions that the u. s. and the you have been warning about to happen sooner rather than later. if you recall, at the end of last week, it seemed that any hope for us diplomatic solution was old, but dead in the water. and after that you so shoot russian juice, movement. stewards, ukraine's nowhere new order border with bella russo, the other side, russian saying that that's actually in preparation of joint exercises. that should happen very soon. well, the americans are saying, well, actually it shows that russia could be ready for an imminent military escalation at any time soon. but still the u. s. is sticking to the diplomatic route after a big and give lincoln is going to berlin tomorrow. and then on friday, that key meeting who with is russian card to part, sag a, live rob and asked anyone here that will tell you that actually that is the most important of old meetings. the u. s. sector state. also setting here that unity with vin ukraine was important for maintaining its strength. this comes to the for

u. s. government diplomatic assurances. specifically the fact that the u. s . government put forward these diplomatic assurances about juliana on just treatment very late in proceedings. this was not considered as part of the evidence rate phase of the tradition proceedings. the u. s. government put these assurances forward only before the appeal, and so that is on the ground that this court, the high court has said they will give, leave to juliet assigned to appeal to the supreme court to consider that. but what it does is give, it gives him another fighting chance. another stop here in the u. k. to fight this on a legal level and possibly to prevent his extradition for back. i want to ask you about those assurances that you just mentioned from the u. s because the high court last month overturned the lower court decision saying that the u. s. promises were enough to guarantee that julian assange would be treated humanely. why do do do? why does reporters without borders? believe that she won't be? it's really concerning. there's a, there's a number of leve

u. s. that's more than double the number of doctors, nurses and pharmacists who left in 2020 and $3.00 times the number of resignations in 2019 csm bobby's government says it costs $70000.00 a year to train just one doctor and it takes years before they qualify is developing countries, we are spending a lot of scarcity sources with quote them scarcity sources in training. i hate to because in order to lose them to develop, conscious in so it is very ideal if such support could be contained in terms of monitoring 1st meant, or material resources. the covered 19th pandemic has made walking nations intensify recruitment and relax visa restrictions for health with us from poor nations. an average worker in the public sector takes home less than $200.00 a month in the u. k. for example, they can earn 10 times as much despite repeat the promises from the government to improve salaries, they remain low. the continued loss of trained health professionals is worsening. some bobby's already overstretched pu

u. s. that is in this nuclear deal. there is germany, france, u, k, china and russia. so there is a sense that time is running out all sides have to be much more vigilant in terms of what they want to do moving forward and to make some hard decisions. the host of the talks in vienna that you have said difficult decisions have to be made both in teheran and washington in order for there to be some movement on these talks. otherwise, they could go on indefinitely. and that is something certainly the americans are now saying they cannot have. let's talk about ukraine daughter mister lincoln saying, what happens from here on it is contin an on russia, and i could stopping its aggression towards ukraine. clearly mr. oliver offs response was actually, that's not what's on the table. that's not what we're discussing. what we're discussing in his world, i guess, was your aggression in the form of nato expansion right up to the russian border. certainly, and this is part of the russian perspective is that this, there is a sense of false narrative coming from a, the american gove

is it that the u. s. in russia, the 2 largest nuclear powers may be on the verge of conflict? no, it's because biden happen to say that there might not be a major u. s. war against russia. in the event that there was a quote minor incursion into ukraine. so a bind is in a corner right now if he wanted to step back. and he said, look, let's, let's calm things down. let's not like play chicken, right, right there in ukraine. i don't think he has any political rome. i mean, the closed ranks within the u. s. ruling establishment echoed by the media. whether it's m s, n, b, c, or fox news, it's the same chorus and, and the question is why, what, as, what has actually happened? russia has a mass troops, allegedly inside of russia. russia has said in writing, look, this is a red line couldn't set at the end of the year. press conference, this is a red line. we will not let you crane. we will not let our border area be a staging ground for advanced weapons with missiles whose flight time might be 2 or 3 minutes to their targets in russia, or to allow ukraine to be permanently in nature
