u. s. u. k. germany and others ultimately urging them to form what is calling an anti put in coalition and impose the harshest sanctions possible it as western leaders condemn russia is a military operation. is pretty much there. all speaking in unison when it comes to this military escalation. now let's cross locked berlin off. he's a polar fleer, is standing by for us, paula. we were listening to you and told him both nato chief talking just a bit earlier. he was calling this submitted escalation, quote, rushers invasion, calling a quote, i heinous a tug. tell us more about the reaction where you are. well, certainly we heard from the nato secretary general after that emergency meeting was caught. and he stressed the point that nato was deploying additional defensive land air, and maritime forces in eastern europe. that he said it was on nato territory that they would know nato troops in ukraine. and there wasn't a plan to send such troops. he said that piece in our continent has been shattered . we no

u. s. responding to those new sanctions from the u, the u. k, the u. s. and germany. he said it is hard to imagine that there is a person in washington who expects russia to revise its foreign policy under threat of restrictions. and kristin, bessie, i one to have economic sanctions ever managed to stop an eminent military offensive . the economic sanctions are going to put a cost on russia and will try to dissuade it to understand that it is about to embark on an irreversible course of action. i am skeptical about whether that is going to be enough. if you listen to put and speech on monday, the kind of civilization all time turning the language, he used to try to revert the world to the way that it was under the soviet union. and frankly, earlier, until the russian empire, that kind of desire is not going to be dissuaded by small economic or even significant economic sanctions. the la own, the question is, what is russia feature? and if russia wants to survive, for now, it has economic capital. but what is the long game and how does that and is russia willing to rea

you this quote from russia's ambassador to the us responding to new sanctions from the e, u, u k, u s. and germany. he said, it is hard to imagine that there is a person in washington who expects russia to revise its foreign policy under a threat of restrictions. jeffrey edmonds have economic sanctions ever managed to stop an imminent military offensive. i don't think so, and they certainly will not stop russia at this point. in many ways the russians have lost the causal connection between sanctions, any kind of change in behavior. they think me, for example, if you're going to deter some one, the sanctions, they have to understand our choice, the russians think, where does union sanctions to weaken them? and also this is a core issue for proven. there's a legacy issue here. and so, and they also have, i think, a, a overly optimistic view of how well rushing the russian economy, which is kind of a war footing right now, how well it can survive section. so i don't think this is going to stop him role. in fact, china is a foreign ministry recently pointed out that since 2011, the u. s. is imposed s

u. s. the u. k. france, germany and the need to countries came forward and they said, we will not go one each inch father of the river alba. it's now 2022 and they have gotten 14 countries east of the river alba. and this is something that nato continues to deny. they know, with defensive writers, got nothing to worry about. rush does, i can feel, you know, missile launch pod across my funds, which means nothing to worry about. and on this scale, i said you pushed us into a situation where we got no way father, to retreat with her new russia behind us. and. and you're also completely see living in your own parallel universe where you're failing to recognize all the promises that you made despite that being black and white documents. proving that you gave us that promise. and then you will go to roast them good worth of when they talked to each other. they said they had no intention to expand nato to enlarge nato. and despite that, mistress dolton brick, secretary channel of nato is just refuting the facts, unclassified documents from the british archive and published in nash pico. and despite all these so they see they are not going to change to waken this policy of open doors. despite few sad yourself, a number of occasions that there is no such policy, there is just an opportunity in the treaty they sign if old than they to members to grief, they can all, for some country, any country to join the alliance on 2 conditions. if it corresponds to the membership conditions and if it is strengthened, the security on the north atlantic treaty listening to this security conference today, this afternoon, sir, scheme is pretty clear to you that russia is fully aware of any potential consequences attached the sanctions to you. but it's clear that this is something they thought about for a long time. it's not just something they've been thinking about. they've been preparing for it for a long time. i mean, dating all the way back to 2008, when russia recognized pasha and south santia and was followed by around 6 and 7, i think with the un nations it, it's kind of, it's almost understood that sanctions have been weaponized, that they have become a foreign policy tool, especially by the u. s. which in fact has a separate department within its state department dedicated to functions just to show you how establishment it's become. but what one can say is that russia and i think it's something to present to, to, to said the other day. so what if we do that going to functional? so they, they know while a while, that it doesn't matter what they recognize it and dependence while they don't, that's going to be some kind of fall out. but they've been sparing threats. like you said, they felt what a lot of people are quoting a fortress economy, which basically means just reading itself off the dollar. recently they signed a huge oil contract gas contract with china that was done in euros. not the daughter. that was a really important moment. it's also been outing. its gold. the 1st time is foreign currency was all was up more gold than dollar. that was part time is never happened in russia. it's been building up the trust that can with sand, any attack that comes. and that's ex

u. s. the u. k. france and germany. we had made it clear during the 2 plus 4 negotiations that we would not extend nato beyond the ill. we could not therefore offer poland and others membership in nato. you think ben caught an ally would make you humble, but no, sometimes so, so far in twit, the only thing you can do is keep it going. i would like to state once again that neither the 2 plus for agreement nor the nato russia founding act contained promises to russia that nato would not expand to the east. the 2 plus for agreement does not mention this issue at all, and any statements to the contrary do not correspond to reality. the reality of in con, paper of all kindful evidence of video footage. there are only 2 options here, either nato and co, don't know the history of their own military alliance, all the light and the media liked there lie so much. so they spread ups was that written down? where is that? from his window? does the religious. right, right, right, right, right, right, well done. well done, correct. you've got a point. do you want to show him the documents or shall i? for years russia has been called a mr. maniac, an ally us. but now black on white nato has trampled on its promise not once, not twice, but 14 times. that's how many countries east also were. the elbow have become members, since the ninety's now must go what 5 need as nathan missiles rolled towards it, but when they got to ukraine? well, that was just a bit too close for comfort. they started exploration. take me little technical exploration. oh, you're great. now, it's not possible for us to swallow, you'll see that there is no space for us to be. there is just only a russian figuration. now, you might remember a robust, but it really similar situation in cuba. so nuclear, just a stone's throw away from america. moscow came, they were just defensive. washington, called them lawyers and said it wouldn't compromise on security on brought the world as close as it's ever been to a new can a war. but nato and its allies need to be careful that if you can shout about being right, shout about being principled, shout about keeping your promises, but lies. oh, well i have a habit of catching up with you. in the end, we discussed the recent events with for me, united nations weapons inspector, scott ritter. he says the west wants to embroider ukraine in a was something. russia is trying to avoid the security guarantee for logan's can don't. yes, we're supposed to be. mention makes meant to agreements that agreement gone. russia made it clear that it has no validity. there, there's nothing those days are over. russia is going to guarantee their security a rush. it said that ukraine's membership in nato represents and a, an unacceptable risk. there will be no one who benefits from this, and, you know, russian president vladimir putin said this over and over again that he doesn't want to. and bait nato in the united states don't seem to recognize this. it's almost as if they want to war in the iron. he is willing to sacrifice ukraine on the altar of false. you know the false promise of nato membership. this is the tragedy. no one will benefit from this, but the people that are going to suffer the most of the people of ukraine by starting a say or not he international will be back at the top of the hour. the latest. in the meantime, for all the updates, you can check our website. i think, i mean it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed in miss couple other little chill the one to work with. so so shown we use for trust them with all of them. ukraine was one of the independent states that emerge from the ruins of a super bow. i'm doing awesome with greens come a little. i'm surely confusing. some of the i can last new lease with what as a, as a resource for you, the various users with on, you know, watch the past 3 decades when likely ukraine, eye witnesses recall the events that more or less georgia tissue personally dish. do you have that google, what i knew that order. i'm not sure what i'd be about 4 months with no idea what else? what other forces were at play? you have to do so to whom you show c, ensure mushy in those them. you are in the care what it well my current suit when you did the shows us in was a low version rolled least take a look at your grade. 30 years out the gaining independence. you're going to view your phone with us for data unless you mean. yeah. with unity reported live, but a with lush will still hold it for a mm hm. hello, welcome to wells fargo. more than 700 years ago, the great sophia point roommate pound one of the most enduring commentaries on the state of the world, comparing it to a reeling drunken body and saying that the caravan of civilization has been ambushed with pools in cherish. everywhere he called untrue leaders to stand up and beat the captains. that ships. well, what does it take to navigate the dire straits of life? first as a world class athlete them down as a world leader? to discuss it, i'm now joined by prime minister of pakistan. even a con, prime minister. it's chris. you see you great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. my pleasure. now i began with this somewhat their bose introduction 1st because i know your interest in supervision and more importantly because i say your whole life in politics and before that is a very colorful and i think very authentic illustration of following your heart desires, which was very essential to room his teachings and the teachings of other mystics. you're going to turn 70 this year. what gives you power? it was let me say one thing. when when a human is born within heading he's trying to look for god. and this is a constant journey towards god. a lot of people, unfortunately, never asked the 2 questions. they never asked themselves, what is the purpose of existence and what happens to be off friday. but whenever they asked these questions, it takes them towards god. the only way you can have the question answer to this question, the purpose of existence, what happens to us when we die isn't religion. and all religions answer that question, science doesn't. so the 2 ways of existence. one is the spiritual and the other is the material. and for me, if you are on the spiritual aurora, then you will always be looking for how you can face your god after you die, that you have fulfill your responsibility as a human being. and our responsibilities as a human being is the more god gives us the more responsibility we have to lift to help other human beings. well, let's talk about this practical aspect of our lives and helping other human beings and the state of the world which and then lot of concerns are around the world about where it's moving and many apocalyptic projections. i wonder how you feel about it and how do you feel about pakistan's ability? she'll adapter this shifting landscape. well, the world faces to huge challenges. one is climate change where the material existence, when we only live in this world, from material well being. then classic example is how we and barrel on existence is what climate change is, how we have ravaged the earth and how we have misused the blessings of god. up on the other hand or so. so that is the biggest challenge, i think for human beings. the 2nd biggest challenges, the blunder of the developing world, by the ruling elites of the developing world. where every year huge amounts of money. according to the fact i'd tell of the sector general of the u. n. $1.00 trillion dollars move from illegal.

u. s. the u. k. france and germany. we had made it clear during the 2 plus for negotiations that we would not extend nato beyond the ill. we could not therefore offer poland and others membership in nato. you think being court and ally would make you humble, but no, sometimes so, so far in twit, the only thing you can do is keep it going. i would like to state once again that neither the 2 plus for agreement nor the nato russia founding act contained promises to russia that nato would not expand to the east. the 2 plus for agreement does not mention this issue at all, and any statements to the contrary do not correspond to reality. the reality of ink on paper of archival evidence. a video footage, there are only 2 options here, either nato and co, don't know the history of their own military alliance, or they lied, and the media likes there lie so much. so they spread it was that written down. where is that from? was written down, done, or the religious. right, right, right, right, right, right. well done. go, well done. correct. you've got a point now now now got you. good. now that shows a complete number. when do you want to show him the documents or should i? for years, russia has been called a myth maniac and a liar, but now black on white bits there, nato has trampled on its promise not once, not twice, but 14 times that how many countries east of the were the alba had become members since the ninety's. now moscow, what side that me as nato missiles rolled towards it, but when they got to ukraine? well, that was just a bit too close for comfort. may have started exploration, military, technical exploration. oh, you're great. now. it's not possible for us to swallow. you said that there is no space for us to be there. it's just only irrational figuration. now, you might remember a robust but it really similar situation in cuba. so the nuclear, just a stone's throw away from america. moscow came, they were just defensive. washington called them lawyers and said it wouldn't compromise on security on brought the world as close as it's ever been to a new can a war. but nato and its allies need to be careful that if you can shout about being right, shout about being principled, shout about keeping your promises. but nice. oh, well, i have a habit of catching up with you in the end. so let's take this further on archie, international crossing live now. so mr. o. like but up on off a professor of history and politics. joining us here on the program on asi, international. a very good afternoon for usa. so as i'm sure you may have heard, berlin is now officially stopping the certification of the noise stream to gas pipeline. question is, did you see this coming? yes. so it was expected from my point of view that one, all the possibilities of assumptions will be stopping over the not trying to buy ply, but in fact, all the story. all these f, i was say, all the said about construction delays in construction delays in septic occasions showed bad b, u and your money are not ready to start the function. you know that pipelines so it was last project already for several years different. and it's nothing unusual that it will be included in the functions. but wouldn't it cause trouble though, for perhaps the russian and german economies? and i guess the european economy as a whole went over 30 percent of russian gas is propping up europe. yes, that's true. and gas now, in the dialogue in moscow, the international conference is our, our partners from the gulf states. and everybody said that they can not subs. he'll direction, oil and gas for the european market, at least immediately saw some trust in the interest. again, in fact, against the european union itself, that's about the fact that the politics prevail on the economics politics prevail over the economics and all of it rolls down a hill to the everyday person. like you and me, given europe's energy crisis. what is the shutting down of no stream to mean for the every everyday jo,

well, that was just a bit too close for comfort. nature has started exploration. take me live, ruth, technical exploration of ukraine. now it's look more suitable for us to swell usa, that is no space for our students. that is just only russian for your asia. now you might remember a reverse, but it really similar situation in cuba, soviet nuclear, just a stone's throw away from america. moscow came, they were just defensive. washington, called them lawyers and said it wouldn't compromise on security and brought the world as close as it's ever been to a new can a war. benito and its allies need to be careful that as you can shout about being right shout about being principled, shout about keeping your promises but nice. oh, well, i have a habit of catching up with you. in the end, like a reaction from the spike co, in the 2020 libertarian us vice presidential candidate. he says, western involvement in the crisis will only make things worse. and i think that vladimir putin is the head of state of one of the least militarily, one of the largest powers on, on the planet. and of a, one of the, one of the larger economy, the former member of the ga and, and i'm, i'm sure this does weigh heavily. i'm not sure that anything that can potentially lead to a hot military conflict, especially when we're already seeing shelling and things like that wouldn't weigh heavily on him. i'm sure. honestly, i'm sure this is weighing heavily on everyone on all sides that are having to make these kinds of decisions, which is i'm hoping that, that weighing heavily in, that desire to try to avoid conflict will lead to you know, the, the tensions receiving from this in from just respecting the rights and autonomy of people to make choices for themselves and their own local governance. whether that will happen or not totally remains to be seen. europe actually has a history of this, right? there's a history of, you know, things that happen as a result of thousands or hundreds of years of history that often lead to long simmering tensions boiling to the surface. and as an american, again giving an american perspective on this. this is a perfect example of why i don't want our government even remotely involved in this, because this is something that isn't going to end with this. however, this ends up ending and hopefully it ends peacefully and hopefully, and 2 people respecting each other's rights in their sovereignty. but however, this and it isn't going to end with this and having the involvement of a superpower that's clear on the other side of the planet, i don't see how that does anything but, but in flame tension even further, i, i suspect that what's going to happen next, if he, if he does move forward with, with recognizing the or it sounds like he already has move forward with recognizing these to break away nations or, or break away people for those who don't think a new nation has been form. i think that there is already, there were definitely going to be sanctions coming from europe and apparently from the u. s. and, and probably canada and other countries as well. i hope that this can remain in this realm in the realm of, you know, of saber rattling and political posturing. and i'm not a fan of sanctions. i think sanction separate people with the, the 1st thing you want to do if you want to create a war is remove any of the relational or financial incentives that people would have to not have that war, which is why they always start with sanction. but i hope it's there have to be think sins or, or anything like that. it ends with that. and that this doesn't turn into a hot war because not only just the, the lives that are loss anytime that there's any kind of military conflict. but the fact that this is the conflict between multiple nuclear powers, and although i don't think anyone wants to go there, there's always that real risk that if some one or another side feels at that there's an existential threat here, that it could go far past the hot water into a much hotter war and i hope we

u. s. the u. k. france and germany. we had made it clear during the 2 plus 4 negotiations that we would not extend nato beyond the odor. we could not therefore offer poland and others membership in nato. we made it clear to the soviet union that we do not intend to benefit from the withdrawal of soviet troops from eastern europe. nato should not expand to the east either officially or unofficially. this thing being court and ally would make you humble, but no. sometimes he'll so far into it. the only thing you can do is keep it going . i would like to state once again that neither the 2 plus for agreement nor the nato russia founding act contained promises to russia that nato would not expand to the east. the 2 plus for agreement does not mention this issue at all, and any statements to the contrary do not correspond to reality. the reality of ink on paper of all kindful evidence. a video footage. there are only 2 options here, either native and co, don't know the history of their own military alliance, or they lied. and the media liked that lie so much. so they spread it was that written down where is that from? was written down, done, or the religious. right. right. right, right, right, right. well done, which well done. correct. you've got a point now. now. got you. good. now the do you want to show him the documents or shall i? for years russia had been called mr. maniac and a lawyer, but now black on white, it's that nato has trampled on its promise not once, not twice, but 14 times. that's how many countries east also were the elbow have become members, since the ninety's now must go. what? 5 nias nato missiles rolled towards that, but when they got to ukraine, well, that was just a bit too close for comfort. they started exploration, military, technical exploration of ukraine. now, it's not possible for us to swallow. you'll see that there is no space for us to be there is just only a russian figuration. now, you might remember a robust, but it really similar situation in cuba, so get nukes, were just a stone's throw away from america. moscow came, they were just defensive. washington called them lawyers and said it wouldn't compromise on security on brought the world as close as it's ever been to a new can a war. but nato and its allies need to be careful that you can shout about being right shout about being principled, shout about keeping your promises, but lies. oh, well, i have a habit of catching up with you in the end of life. now, to quote our mass sienna, a syrian armenian political comment, that joining us here on the international great to see you today, what might be behind russia, decisions you, thing to recognize, the independence of the republic slew guns and don, yes. do you think it fundamentally changes the situation? thank you very much for having me on rti and i hope i won't be canceled soon for being on a russian mission formation outfit. as the european outsets now are calling rti actually there is a consistent attempt to take the ukraine and crisis out of context. there are pundits, journalists and even western officials are trying to say that the contract started . now it's in 2020 or 2021. however, we have to go back at least 7 years or 8 years back when the u. s. and the, even the orchestrated a could a top in g f, and they confessed it's that they spend over $5000000000.00 in order to remove the legitimate government there. and they installed a puppet government in chief, and they turn the country into a satellite state in natal satellite state. it's true that ukraine is not yet a natal member, sir, ethically. however, practically, it's under heavy influence of nato and they are the n g o r, pounding darrell, the net n g o d u s a n g o, as in jose affiliated to georgia service. and they are creating politicians and senior society activists in order to spread on the russian sentiments. and this started from 2014 and this on the russian sentiments in order to keep russia as separated from its influence. and especially from the origin, the origin you're as your agent. right? because we just ski believes that if russia has an easy access to the origin area, it will revive its super power character in india global seen. so the rise of this on

u. s. the u. k. france and germany. we had made it clear during the 2 plus for negotiations that we would not extend nato beyond the ill. we could not therefore offer poland and others membership in nato. you think being court and ally would make you humble, but no, sometimes so, so far in twit, the only thing you can do is keep it going. i would like to state once again that neither the 2 plus for agreement nor the nato russia founding act contained promises to russia that nato would not expand to the east. the 2 plus for agreement does not mention this issue at all, and any statements to the contrary do not correspond to reality. the reality of ink on paper of archival evidence. a video footage, there are only 2 options here, either nato and co, don't know the history of their own military alliance or they lied. and the media liked that lie so much. so they spread it was that written down. where is that from is written down. the under the validity. right. and right, right, right, right, right. well done. well done, co

u. s. and the rest in germany, switzerland, the u. k, and the u. e. those countries have refused to release the money to taliban leaders in cobble. as the dispute dragged on, afghanistan's economy deteriorated. foreign aid and banking services also were cut off. the un believes 97 percent of afghans will fall below the poverty line this year. more than half of the countries 40000000 people face acute hunger. now the u . s. president has signed an order to redistribute the funds and keep them out of the taller bonds hands under the executive order. joe biden used emergency powers to split the 7000000000 dollars held in the u. s. federal reserve bank in new york . hill. ask a judge for permission to put half of that into a trust fund for humanitarian relief in afghanistan. the other half will be used to compensate the families of $911.00 victims. some economists say the plan will do more harm than good. they argued strips afghanistan of resources that could be used to stabilize its economy. all right, joining me now our, our guests in falls church, virg

germany, don't want it. but the question is then will they have will to overcome the u. s. u k of juris? we just mentioned france and germany there, there the outliers within the european block if you will. president micron kind of going in alone here. can you see president micron actually eventually securing a solution to this crisis? well, i think you'd like to do that. i mean, i think he said, i mean, that was, he said it in 20. 17 nate, though it's brenda. he realizes that nato now is actually a public manners, is a minister peace. it's aggravating situ crises with russia. it's expanding to the point that russia feels a threat. there's no need for this. there's really no need for any kind of tension between russia and europe. macaroni sees this, the real question is, does he have the board of german in germany always wants to have it both ways? germany, obviously it has enormous expensive commercial relations with russia. and obviously doesn't want to be in the front blind of any war between europe and russia. on the other hand, germany still does its routine. what by which shows that

germany. very good question. there been unprecedented tension between berlin and kevin recent weeks over german's refusal. firstly to as supply defense weapons, something that the u. k. the u. s. baltic countries in poland have done for ukraine . germany saying that it doesn't want to supply weapons to a conflict zone or potential conflicts own something, the ukranian se doesn't really stack up. if you look at germany's willingness to send weapon, say to the iraqi kurds, then there's no stream to the gas pipeline taking gas direct from rusty germany, bypassing ukraine, allowing ukraine says the kremlin to send its gas to europe without having to use the ukrainian gas pipeline network allowing russia to destabilize ukraine without any threats of economic damage to russia's exports. so there's lots of potential there for conflict. and miss disagreement, i think there is going to be a concerted effort now on the part of berlin and concerts to try and convince ukraine that germany's reliable part in the germany does have ukraine's interests at heart. and that germany can provide a constructive role in mediating to try to stay escalate the situation near connelly reporting for us

germany. and perhaps you could make a case also that the u. s. in the u. k. had a hand in it, france collaborated with germany. they should have divided france also to be honest . but you had this division and you had buffer countries, in essence, the warsaw pact, countries for all of the ideological stuff that he side used against it. there. there were indigenous communist parties or indigenous capitalists parties. there was like, well this is close to us. we don't want to be invaded from here. again, let us have paul. one, this is the buffer. czechoslovakia is a buffer, romania, bulgaria, et cetera. that was the agreement and western europe was handed to the united states. in essence, the united states occupied and still occupies that the soviet union withdrew from germany on an agreement. that's now been rat, 4 or 5 different people who were involved have confirmed that with documents that the agreement was there would not be any further movement of nato beyond the elm. and yet, there has been, after the collapse of the soviet union, the alleged res, on for

u. s. the u. k, sending anti tank missiles bull to condescending anti aircraft missiles. germany has said that it will only send medical supplies helmets, but nothing more than that that's being seen as basically germany sitting on the fence and not supporting a country in need here and ukraine. and the 2nd thing is that nor stream to gas pipeline between russia and germany, ukraine, or wants that basically sanctioned and put on the table now immediately as a preventative thing to show the russians that the west means business germany so far, saying that this is a question of diplomatic ambiguity, keeping all options on the table and not making any announcements before anything happens on the ground. so a lot of frustration there from ukraine, even though germany has been the single biggest donor to ukraine since 2014 since rush annex crimea. but all that basically forgotten over the attentions the last few weeks, and what perceived to be a lack of empathy from germany towards ukraine. and just coming back to the visits of the western leaders, they're all going there to talk to a lensky, to talk

schultz announced he was halting the north stream to gas pipeline, connecting russia with germany, and the u. k. and the u. s slapped financial sanctions on russian banks plus several oligarchs close to put in a reminder who in the lord's name, this prudent thing gives in the right to declare new. so call countries on territory the belonged to his neighbors. this a flagrant violation of international law and demands of firm response from international community. clear biden's, final plea to put in a worst case scenario can be avoided and the door for diplomacy is still open. i know we spoke to date of any correspondent nick connelly in kiev and asked him how ukrainians are dealing with this escalation. the past few weeks there was a very strange disconnect where you had the world's media talking about this extraordinary level of attention to promoting visits. almost every day, and yet it felt like the people here on the ground didn't really want to engage with these headlines, didn't want to engage with the possibility of those russian tanks along ukraine's board is actually being used actually crossing ukra

germany, the u. k. japan, the netherlands, into the waning of told their citizens to leave ukraine and the u. s. evacuated non emergency cell from the embassy in kiev. but the president of ukraine is saying that these warnings are only provoking panic. war veterans were among the thousands who march through the country's capital in a civilian show of strength earlier on. it's our borders, it's our territory. you, you know, i have to speak with our people like you, you know, like, like breast and, and see people throughs. and the tools that we have different information and know the best friend for their name is that hispanic in our country. and all this information details only for bernie doesn't help us. meanwhile, the russian military saying that it's used appropriate means to make a u. s. submarine leave its territorial waters. submarine was detected in the far east near the pacific career islands as russia conducted naval exercises that moscow says the vessel initially ignore the request to leave. canadian police have started to move in on protest. is that a blocking of vital bridge connect

germany. and it was as recently as 2017 that the u. s. the u. k. and other nato allies established the enhanced forward presence to protect poland and the baltic states. and even then, the total deployment of fewer than $5000.00 troops posed no conceivable threat to russia. and it is only in the last few weeks in response to the current crisis that we have dispatched reinforcements. those did a numbers that constitute no possible threat until 2014 european allies were cutting their defense budgets and shrinking their armed forces. perhaps foster them was safe or wise. and to the extent that this was changed, it is because of the actions of president putin and the tension that he has created . if nato forces on are closer to russia's border, it is in response to his decisions and the justified concerns. they have provoked among our allies, and there are many things said about what a male may not have been a said in the closed door meetings of 3 decades ago as the berlin wall fell and germany was reunited. but there is no doubt that we all agreed leg

u. k. and now, of course, we see many more including germany. and that says to me that this intelligence is very credible that the u. s. was able to share with allies exactly what it was that was leading them to believe that indeed an invasion could be imminent. and we just saw, of course, her, the nato secretary general, and that report welcoming american troops to romania, tomatoes, rushing up its military posture in the allied countries that the border ukraine. how much of a concern is that any russian military action could spread beyond ukraine's borders? one key factor is.

i think clearly frowns in germany wanted, but the question is then will they have the will to overcome? the u. s. u. k of dewresey. icons visit comes as a top russian diplomat rounded on mainstream reports that moscow's supposedly a master, 70 percent of its military power needed to invade ukraine. another master piece of us propaganda wore unnamed officials undisclosed sources, no evidence, and as b. o. so if you openly question such fakes, you won't get answers and will be labeled a russian apologist. as mainstream media stories on supposedly invasion, pile up nato is enhancing its presence near russia. playing carrying pentagon troops and equipment was spotted landing in poland on sunday, near the ukrainian border. and nato is also considering long term military increases in eastern europe. meanwhile, britain's defense chief says you will send 350 troops to poland on tuesday. hawkins examines what's behind the west current obsession with russia invading ukraine. even for those who don't watch the news, reports of a coming russian invasion of ukraine would be hard to miss. we believe that there is a

i think clearly frowns in germany wanted, but the question is then will they have the will to overcome the u. s. u k of dewresey? well, i'll start with on the way across the atlantic, a tough a storm on russia was being proposed. the u. s. president met with german leader last shots off the which joe biden vowed that that 2 countries would put up a united front during the fraction states of relations between the west and moscow . but also threatened to hold the nor stream to gas pipeline. if russia invades ukraine, there will be no longer a north steam to we, we will bring it into. how would you, how will you do that? exactly. since the product and control of the product is within germany's control, we will, i promise you will be able to do. officials in germany have repeatedly stressed the importance of rush and gas for the countries energy needs. they've called to enter the political disputes over the gas pipelines saying it has nothing to do with politics. however, the later stand off digging in germany is apparently taken to utah fitness the energy mix. today we are talking about one quarter of

germany, the u. k. japan, the netherlands in lithuania, of all, told their citizens to leave ukraine. and the u. s. is also evacuated, non emergency stuff from the embassy and keith. but ukraine's president has been saying that those warnings are only provoking panic. meanwhile, war veterans were among thousands marching through the country's capital. in a civilian show strength. it's our borders. it's our territory. you know, i have to speak with our people like a unit, you know, like, like president and say, people throughs and the truth that we have different information and know the best friend for enemies that hispanic in our country. and all these information details only for benny doesn't help us. well, our white house correspondent, kimberly hock it brings us more. according to a senior administration official, the telephone call between the us and russian president last a just over an hour. the call was apparently professional and substantive in nature, but there was apparently no change in the dynamic. in other words, the united states reportedly put forward a number of ideas that it beli

u. k. or you're the u. s. everybody else is saying, hold off the head of the head of germany had to do to moscow. and as the us are pulling out of right now out of kias, they're not pulling out of moscow. that should be a huge morning sign of what this really is false. i can take sullivan, the one mounting it, ed. well, scotty also let me just put this in context so, so. so important. we've watched in the last 5 years that we've seen the intelligence community go out and use the intelligence and say, trust us. we got brennan clapper, we got comi, they all go out on tv, and they say on cnn and embassy nbc, they say, trust us, we know what the intelligence means. you must believe this. what j solomon just said is not only a lie, it's an insult because what was it? the podium at the pentagon was a guy saying, we think they're going to do this. and someone said, what's the evidence? and they said, oh, we can't tell you the evidence, how are we? we're not going to tell you, we just think they're going to do it. and here's a trick. they're doing this so that the american public goes, wow, that must be

u. k. written and you are currently talking about reforming. the northern ireland protocol, ireland says, any unilateral change to that agreement is a breach of international law. germany and the u. s. have rejected the word apartheid in connection with israel. amnesty international published a report accusing israel of practicing segregation, dispossession and exclusion against palestinians. and missy said its findings were based on the seizure of palestinian land and to be forcible transfer of people. israel has strongly rejected the findings with golden. new data released this week by danish researchers. it shows that greenland massive ice sheet has lost enough ice in the past 20 years to cover the entire united states with half a meter of water. the climate is warming faster in the arctic than anywhere else on earth and ice melting away from greenland is now the main factor in rising oceans. on the front line of climate change, current studies show green lands rapid melt is helping push up global sea levels. they risen by an average of $1.00 centimeters around the globe. daughter see him all the up the arctic ocean especially is warming out. that's led to this dramatic melting

germany, the u. k. japan, the netherlands in lithuania, of all, told their citizens to leave ukraine. and the u. s. is evacuated, non emergency staff from their embassy in kiev, ukraine's president is saying that the rhetoric is only provoking panic. meanwhile, war veterans were among the thousands marching through the country's capital in a civilian show of strength earlier today.

germany. if he had been facing the way he is in many of the other reports that we've seen, particularly in the u. s. and in the u. k, then there would be a lot of questions about just who exactly is being carrying out this training. so who is the as off battalion and why potentially have their names not being mentioned in a number of these reports. the the there are major diplomatic efforts underway as well to try and find a solution to the increasing tensions between russia, ukraine, nato, and the west, or la sholtes. the german chancellor isn't kiev right now when we are expecting a press conference from him and the ukranian president drove me as lind sky pretty much any minute. now there's an awful lot of pressure on the german chancellor coming from germany and other members of the european union, as well as the united states and united kingdom as well for him to actually come away from this meeting underneath the house on tuesday with russian president vladimir putin with some tangible results. of course, anything comes out of that press conference as soon as it happens, of course, anything that comes out of i

germany, and he publishes frequently on russian issues. his opinion shots would like to do more of his own russian policy and moscow, but the u. s. and the u. k. are forcing him to abide by the trans atlantic consensus. it's also a pleasure to welcome regina hello. she is a conflict researcher at the institute for peace research and security policy. and she says, finding a new security architecture for europe that is equitable for all stakeholders. it's like wearing a circle and i'm very pleased to greet my colleague from deutsche avella roman gone to ranko. he's in crane, read a department, and he says russia has given the west and ukraine more time to raise the white flag more is still possible. and he joins us from gone mckinna, everybody's been holding their breath following those u. s. intelligence based predictions that an invasion was imminent. and it hasn't happened so far. instead, russia says it's pulling back some of its troops. are you seeing signs of that within your research? organization, are you seeing the evidence that the de escalation is real? what we saw is a little bit of a breast taking over the last days. but in general
