u. s. u k. seems to be pretty effective and they definitely slowed down the rest of the bonds. you read when you read russian miniature, unless they seem pretty shocked at how slow this is going. they thought they could just have some kind of blitz and get to kid within a day or $2.10 ukrainian government in tax all fleeing out of q. if that hasn't happened. and lots of russian troops being taken prisoner, lots of these tanks, images everywhere on social media here of destroyed tanks and also lots of ukrainians. i was just in a youth center today where you had a dozen young people. it's a 100 making camouflage, knitting, collecting food and equipment for the troops. it also refugees heading west from here. so if, if blood region was trying to demoralize ukrainians, it seems like teaching just the next fall. and again, nerves are, i guess, a constant for the people, but just quickly on nights the most nervous times during an invasion. definitely, and we've been spending a lot of our time in bomb raid shelters, in this case where we are in just this blocks, stella and just to giv

u. s. u. k. seems to be pretty effective and they definitely slowed down the rest of the month. you read when you read russian miniature, they seem pretty shocked at how slow this is going based on what they could just have. so i'm going to blitz and get to kill within a day or 2 and send the ukrainian government in tech. so, cleaning out of that hasn't happened. and lots of russian troops being taken prisoner. lots of these tanks, images everywhere on social media here of destroyed tanks and also lots of ukrainians. i was just in a youth center today where you had dozens of young people with hundreds making camouflage, knitting, collecting food and equipment for the troops. it also refugees heading west from here. so if, if plug route was trying to demoralize ukrainians, it seems like teaching just the opposite. nick, dr. fallen again, nerves are, i guess, a constant for the people, but just quickly on nights the most nervous times during an invasion. definitely, and we've been spending a lot of our time in bomb raid shelters, in this case where we are in just this blocks cellar. and just to give you a bit of insight, the reason why i'm sitting here in the living room in front of a bookshelf is because i can't stand outside with lights with a camera light or in the window without locals being worried that i'm trying to give some kind of signals that i'm a kind of sleeper agent, and it will sound like something from a novel, but this is real. these kind of cases have been found just today. there been reports of russian agents trying to destroy a re dos sites about 10 o'clock tomorrow, and now lots of shooting. i can't verify that, but it does seem to fit the big patent to go very nervous and very distrusting of strangers. but overall, not panicking and fairly cheered right now by where this is going. and you know, the ability, the green army to actually sit this out and to make russia think twice about whether this is actually going to work out a to believe, correspondent connelly and western new crime. thanks so much. the european union is to finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and equipment to ukraine for the 1st time european commission president ursula on the line says the block is also closing its a space to rush and aircraft and will ban some state and media. she announced also new sanctions targeting the regime of belly mercy and leader alexander lucas shinkel for supporting rushes action on the line says the latest action is a significant development as the war in ukraine rages on and ukrainian psych bravely for that country. european union steps up once more its support for ukraine and the sanctions against the aggression aggressor that is put in russia. for the 1st time ever. the european union will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and other equipment country that is under attack. this is a watershed moment for more let's bring and d, w correspondent, bentley, get in brussels bent. the you are sending weapons to ukraine or a decision of historic proportions. yes, indeed. taboos are falling here and the u. s. shifting into food or gear now, for the 1st time, a 3rd country will get 450000000 euros to buy weapons and ammunition. and this money comes out of a so called peace facility because the peace project europe actually bonded to support with that money. peacekeepers in africa and elsewhere, but now this money is shifted to words. ukraine, 6000000000 euros in this budget. this is really a historic step and unprecedented, but the you want to show resolve and says the situation is so we cannot act differently. the e was also imposing fresh sanctions. how much bite did we think they're going to have? the you is aiming at the entire financial sector of russia. now. they want to triple the whole sector and come to go after the vol, chest of vladimir putin, the russian president actually. and all assets in foreign countries are held by the russian national bank froze. now, half of the assets of the total assets of the bank are not available any more in this should be a real blow to the rus

u. s. u k. seem to be pretty effective and they definitely slowed down the source. and once you read, when you read russian channels, they seem pretty shocked at how slow the ball is going. they thought they could just have some going to blitz and get to get it within a day or 2. and then the ukranian government in check. so fleeing out of care that hasn't happened. lots of russian troops being taken prisoner. lots of these tanks images everywhere on social media here of destroyed tanks and also new creations. i was just in a youth center today where you had dozens of young people, if not hundreds, making camouflage netting collecting food and equipment for the truth that was of refugees heading west from here. so if it was trying to do more like ukraine is, it seems like the chief just the opposite that has fallen again. nerves are, i guess a constant for the paper, but just quickly are not the most nervous times during an invasion. definitely, and we've been spending a lot of our time in bomb raid shelters, in this case where we are in just this blocks cellar. and

u. s, the e u and the u. k, they all seem to be trying to flex their power with sanction. that aim to cut off russian officials and companies from their access to us dollar transactions or even global trade markets. but are they likely to have much of an effect given that russia has spent years working to protect itself from actions just like bes, as we understood back when these sanctions began. and i'm thinking of only as far back as the 19 ninety's because it's been going on almost continuously since then. the answer to your really good question is an unambiguous. no. did russia withdraw from the crimea after 2014, when big sanctions were levied? know that the chinese change their international or local or domestic economic activities after trumpet them with tariffs and trade, war and sanctions. no. these activities are now routine and the ways to get around them and to escape them are equally routine. and i think most americans, if you ask yourself a simple question, how do you think we as a people would be affected if something we did for our national security was the

u. k. and the u. s. don't they seems to have a day seems drove it because ease actually at the moment the president of a european union and my call as a so always shown concern for a russian fears about the old security. you consider the as is it an empathy father? russian situation is that the nato and a west have treated russia fanny badly in the past for throwing a default of the waters and a dismounting alpha, the usaa. he understands a de concerns and us one thing that to put in an ridge a prior to, to their meeting. and the thing or so, which is important, is that my call as when i shall bring you up in the game europe. i've been company side line in the previous weeks, and it seemed that the question of ukraine was discuss purity between the u. s. and her and russia. but now, thanks to the blood to get action or for my coin, others a european commission and as well as a do deal the allies my call as really consulted a lot of people is not going there alone is going to as representatives or european union or being

u. k in the u. s. that are the ones that are advocating based riley's in solidarity with a canadian truck has protesting cobit restrictions. habit seems gone global in the french capital over 32000 people hit the streets for a so called freedom, a convoy demonstration. but things got touchy with protest as breaching police lines and blocking traffic while officers resorted to take us. ah mm. with of 54 people were arrested with one reported me heart in scoffers with the police. thousands of officers had been deployed in paris. our correspondent shouted to ben's he sent us this report right from the heart of the breast. well as you can. ready see the tear gas is coming towards us now. launched by the police just behind as they were trying to control the crowd, the crowds attempting to run up the steps and to be able to get past this police comb. boy, that isn't trying to keep everything in order. would you not have to move further now, because my gas is coming towards us. as you can see, big big clouds are moving along with the police here forming a barricade as they are trying to separate the crowd down. the rest of the crowd has move

seems to be getting behind it. mostly use leaders, i should say, a distinct exceptions. almost all the u. s. and the u. k. r. fortunately bought the diploma. he's been given a chance on charles schultz was determined to give it a chance today. although of course, he had to make the usual comments about various aspects of russia as be presented in the western media in order not to be accused of being a pussy in the company of soon. so obviously you have to be a little bit critical as well. i also found interesting that puts in referred to the previous 2 political crisis before you prior to the one in yugoslavia, the bombing of last and the child, the show last had to justify that with a slight story of the time, which was an excuse to wear for nato aggression at the time, followed by the w and the story in iraq again and excusable western countries, aggression and therefore this invasion story, this fake invasion story, is just yet another example of fake news designed to justify western policy. hopefully, that may be put to bed increasingly as the weeks go on, because we're fortunate description of the di

u. s. and u. k. this by ignoring russia's demands, still promise sanction. it's become almost exhausting, isn't it? just hearing russia repeat the same line over and over again. you know, it's just and no one's listening. it seems, but, you know, thanks for coming down with the updates. a thought is danny armstrong. well, let's go see europe now where russia also faces our sanction threads over recognition of the don. yes. can the guns republics elite is condemned? it is a violation of international law. his art is paulus lear from berlin with more details . well, certainly, sanctions are on the table, many in not only the european community, but internationally slamming the russian president vladimir putin decision to recognize the provinces of lou ganske and de next, the u. s. the u. k. and the e. you have all now pledged to impose sanctions. there has been a joint statement that was issued by the european commission and the european council. the european council president has held a marathon of telephone calls from last night after that announcement by president putin was made one of the cause a was with the ukrainian president in which he said, and i'm quoting the you stands by you firmly and fully supports ukrainian territorial integrity, the european commission president had this to say. the recognition of the 2 separate us territories in ukraine as a blatant violation of international law, the territorial integrity of ukraine and the minsk agreements. the e u in its partners will react with unity, firmness and with determination in solidarity with ukraine. now the u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin is scheduled later today to meet with his ukrainian counterpart. he has said that this is to quote, a predictable, shameful act on behalf of russia

u. s. and u. k. taking the lead, however, not only for members are and or even ukraine is attempting to dampen expectations of an armed conflict with russia. will washington and london get their way? no one else seemed wrong when all through. just don't hold any world yet to see how this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah .

seem to agree why to and more. why does security issues both express concern over the office alliance between the u. s. the u. k. and australia. they called on nase hope to turn its back on what it described, the cold war approaches, and also oppose the creation of any a new military or other blocks in the asia pacific. when it comes to china specific things, unsurprisingly, russia is that it whole heartedly supports the one china principle that it supports the thought, the view, the taiwan is a part of the main line and it opposes any taiwanese independence. katrina, thanks very much. indeed. katrina you talking to us from beijing? what dos as a body is life for us in moscow and katrina was just saying there are a lot of those statements where he's actually under underlying and supporting agreements and an understanding that already existed. but a lot of this meeting is about trade and gas is a big part of that. certainly the russians were going to china to sign nearly 15 agreements and most of them have to do with the gas sector. and we just have heard from the i kremlin, that's a china and russia have agreed
