u. s. was not the target, but of course the americans have also strongly condemned that the rocky government had initially also condemned to. we don't naming but they, you know, just a, an hour ago or so that iraq, you find a ministry, some and b. ronnie, i'm boss of the master the to, to condemn and name it on as well. but it is clear that it's any running attack on iraqi sovereignty has been con them that such by iraq, by different political leaders in the like more of the center and by the united states monday. and then the, the urgency claims that it is the days riley's and but you know, it's not clear, but of course the iraqi officials would never had me to an end user id prison on their soil. and, and iran hasn't really provided any evidence about any of the presence there as well. well, we have seen in the past how hostility between iran and the u. s. often gets played out any rock. so how much of an impact do you think this attack will have then on relations between the u. s. and iran w

u. s. was in the verge of invading iraq. there was all, all kind of controversy when there were some suggestions. speculation that ari fleischer, the boot, george w bush, his press secretary, the time said, well, one bullet can, can remove, you know, can solve this problem loosely paraphrasing. and he was massively pushed back for suggesting to assassinate saddam hussein. so this is just not something that, that us presidents tend to do to advocate for the removal of, of power, of leaders of power. we don't know what else he really meant by that. so i don't want to harp on it too long, but it is a very notable escalation that i think i can't imagine putin not responding to in kind. it will just have to see how that plays. it plays out there were so much else a here in that speech. really, joe biden, trying to ease people's worries with a lot of references from poked on. paul, the 2nd a polish pope, a i'm in a deeply catholic country. i be not afraid. and really trying a rallying cry to democracies as you know, since the end o

members of the biden administration when poland made that announcement that it was going to send its fight a cop to a u. s. space in ram steen and the u. s. was then going to move them into the ukranian theatre of combat. well, that was poland, expressing its willingness to do so. the administration members making very clear that they had not discussed this matter with poland. and it took into early evening when the spokesman for the pentagon, brian, kirby issued a written statement at denying that this was going to happen saying in fact, it was a move that was completely untenable. now to put this into a context in recent days, the secretary of state anthony blinking made several references to discussions with poland about backfiling polish, a croft with us crop. should poland move the craft into ukraine? but that's where the conversation was centered on. there was no discussion that would appear about this type of deal that poland expressed a willingness to indulge in, to move its plains to a u. s. air force base. and us then moves out of planes and to ukraine war areas. so certainly it was a confusing

the 1st 5 days i was at the white house, at the u. s. had to decide what the response would big this time the us was home and bombed several military targets. they were backed by friends under president emmanuel michel consider implemented you present oman to the finance for may be gone. was of fishy sydney huck. remiss sash, josh or su, sad c. it's similar foss. natoya, baltimore not knew quite year washington was sure the trough to really let it assume, couldn't demos his shoulder fitness below everybody's, you know, then these political promises. and we're going to, and we're going to get out of war and, and these wars, you know, these are no good. it was a huge mistake. you know, if a sod fell, who was going to take over was going to be a very radicalized component. ah, the west did not make any further military interventions, opting instead to impose sanctions on syria. but sanctions had little impact on the government's military capability. as i saw, it gradually took back control of more and more of the country. his critics claimed

u. s. and russian sides. as we saw in the beginning of the war where the u. s. was announcing definitive knowledge of, of vision plans. and how much of it was true, how much of it was an we may never, we may never know. i think bided makes a good point. first of all, we should note that the eastern part of ukraine has been devastated, devastated by the russian war machine. so to say that they're now going to focus on it is a, is a bit of a is, is, yeah it's, it's very difficult to hear that because it's already been under so much to wrestle so much bombardment, the east, more than the west. and so, and the russia also has a way, putin has a way of defining what victory means, right? i mean, he's clearly a, he probably knows that he's in a bind that he may be got an over his head or wasn't, didn't quite plan this as well as he thought. that's what all the kind of military analysts are saying right now that he was thinking was we a much easier way to, to keven, to accomplishing his goals of essentially toppling as a lensky government. and now he may be looking for a r

u. s. ambassador to the united nations, or even the thomas or greenfield, who said russia was lying and spreading misinformation. she went on to categorically, say, ukraine does not have biological weapons program, and there are no labs supported by the u. s. in ukraine. close to the russian border or elsewhere. she accused russia of planning a false flag in action by calling this hearing it un saying russia has a track record of accusing others or the violations they are committing up on the floor. let's bring in our guests to analyze all was is still going on in the un security council. richard, good 3 is the coordinating editor of cb w events. a project that focuses on understanding policies on issues relating to chemical and biological warfare joins us now from bath. in the u. k. good to have you with us. so obviously, a lot of different conflicting presentations about the issue of chemical weapons in ukraine. what did we learn from is to me now commit to the un hi representative for the some meant affairs in her presentation as to what evidence the u. n. has gathered about that issu

u. s. president was speaking from his heart and responding to the images he saw on television. but in terms of a u. s. formal investigation, she says that is still ongoing. and we saw that impassioned plea from zalinski to the u. s. congress, but still a flat no to those key demands of a no fly zone and the make fighter jets. that's right, and that was certainly disappointing. one can imagine to the ukrainian leader, but when it's a big but we should leave open the at the possibility for the future because that's very much what the u. s. president did, although he said no for now to the 2 things that the ukranian leader was looking for. those fighter jets, the soviet era fighter jets as well as a no fly zone. he very much left to open the possibility that in the future there may be more of what the ukrainian leader was looking for. for now. it is the $800000000.00 in additional assistance. some 2 billions is the start of the bind administration. some 1000000000 in just the last week alone, and we know that the u. s. president is still considering the no fly zone option along wit

u. s. government has a history of making this claim in the past, only to find out that it was false. so americans are skeptical the u. s. president, not offering any evidence this time. only thing if they're used, that they will have a response in kind and also very quickly, we've heard a lot in these meetings, series of meetings, newest president headed over to where i am standing now, where he will be having the 3rd in a series of meetings today, talking about how there is a need to push back against shinine any sort of desire to work with russia to kind of give oxygen to the military effort from the financial side. and the u. s. president saying that in his conversations with president she, it was his belief that president, she realizes the future of his economies tied with the west and that he is likely to be discouraged against doing so. there. and another interesting, a common from present biden was the russia with russia should still be a part of the g 20 and the u. s. president said he doesn't believe that it should be involved in the 220 moving forward, but he also expects th
