u. s. would restart poland with american built plains for now that doesn't seem to be happening too soon, but they're really saying if you're not going to close the skies above ukraine, we are really hurting hard civilians are dying in ever greater numbers and his situation where the russian army is actually doing pretty badly in hand to handle kind of ground fighting. it's the crating forces. it really does the sense here that rush is going up, the ante in the sky, where it has that advantage and without support in terms of anti aircraft facilities and planes. ukraine really could be left, you know, to bleed hair and is going to struggle to stand up for it. statehood if, if, if that was the help fells come in. connelly their force and keep is always great to see you. and thanks for the report and you just heard from nick as russia continues to assault on ukrainian nighted states has indicated it's looking for ways that poland can supply fighter jets to ukraine, us secretary of state antony blank

u. s. would never have tolerated right if, if the, if there was a war saw type packed up in, they had troops in mexico, the u. s. never would have tolerated that fact. the last time they tried something like that in cuba. 19 to we almost went to war over it. so now of course the u. s. is a completely unreliable negotiator on any of these 6 by the way, i think that's why zalinski is trying to find a way out and i agree that the u. s. was not truthful with it and they thought they would the u. s. for back him up on this and of course they've done nothing. um, so yes, i think the international system has broken down. the u. s. in particular, has intentionally destroyed it bit by bit. the attack on serbia was a big part of doing that. and so what is there to appeal to? and i think we have to start asking what is there to appeal to internationally for these sorts of things. and we need to start creating something that's real to do that if, if we, if we really handle dan, i don't, i don't want to sound

u. s. has also created a new task force designed to identify and seize the assets of those and other russian elite sanctioned earlier. president joe biden said the u. s. would come after their quote, ill gotten gains, children, and here's how whitehouse spokeswoman jen. saki described washington's goal. we look at one of the big factors is of course, the proximity to president putin. we want him to feel the squeeze. we want the people around him to feel squeeze. i would, i don't believe this is going to be the last set of oligarchs making a damn a priority. and a, and a focus of our individual sanctions is something that president has been focused on or was going to correspond, james sweeney in new york. james, a priority to focus on these oligarchs, any name, stand out on this newest list. well, it looks like russia's wealthiest, they've garnered all the headlines today because spite an administration, it's announced those new rent, browns, of sanctions, against russian. oligarchs. and there are some interesting names that do stand out, including, i'll assure who's been off his $600000000.50 foot mega yacht. the bill bar was taken by authorities over there

u. s. would you say that that is right? and if so, what could biden actually do to change rushes calculus? well, i would disagree. i think it's a, it's a conflict between russia and the west of the west. as a civilization and the worst as a system, political system and economic system. and this is how russia is, has been seeing this conflict for years and years. but it's not actually new. the west refused to see it like that. the west has been looking at it as a conflict between russia and ukraine, which is just a battlefield. and i think to your question, how could the u. s. a maybe stop it? i think i'm looking back for some weeks, maybe months prior to this conflict. we've seen how the u. s. administration reacted differently. they disclose their information that they had about this plan of, of this war. this was new and this allowed the u. s. and its allies, a u. k, and some other nato countries to supply you. craig, with weapons, and that was very, very important for ukraine because it is, it's those weapons that ukraine

u. s. would step in, it's likely to get more expensive because of rising transportation and energy costs . i'm experts here in turkey. economists tell me that they do expect for the price hikes for basic goods, especially for bread, but also for gas and oil. so the consequences for turkey's already ailing economy could be quite severe. skyrocketing inflation has already caused a lot of anger and despair. and now the war could actually add pressure to already existing problems. julia target president, reserve tar about along is warping us in line here is out of a new member country of the same time. turgeon as economy are heavily dependent on its ties with russia. well, take a show president edwin has developed close economic and political ties with both a russia and ukraine in recent years. and yes, that has put him in a delicate position where we see him now trying to balance his commitments towards ukraine. a turkey thought. com, the trojans to the ukrainian government, are they also a ne, anno

u. s. would help gathering, gathering evidence. he accused the kremlin of carrying out indiscriminate attacks as part of an intentional strategy. in the conflict that investigates e u ministers meeting in brussels of also accused russia of war crimes. in besieging the southern ukrainian city of mario paul. but there was opposition to more sanctions from some new members, including germany. i made concerns about high energy prices and fears that russia might hold gas exposed to europe. you as president joe biden has spoken to europe, ian allies ahead of a trip to europe. 4 talks on the war in ukraine. abide and host of the call with the leaders of germany, france, the united kingdom and italy, his press. secretary gen saki, the underscored there continued support for ukraine, including by providing security assistance to the brave ukrainians who are defending their country from russian aggression and humanitarian assistance to the millions of ukrainians who fled. let's bring in our correspondence, carly much more in washington. for

u. s. would deliver more liquefied natural gas to europe this year. he also said the current crisis is an opportunity to boost renewable energy sources. let's hear what joe biden had to say earlier. we're coming together to reduce your friend who's on russian energy. put news issued rushes energy resources, of course, and manipulated neighbors. and so he's using his use the profit, it's a driver's war machine. this initiative focuses on 2 core issues. one help in europe reduces dependency on russian gas as quickly as possible. secondly, reducing europe's demand for gas. overall. we're going across now to brussels, where all of this has been happening, and we can speak to a bureau chief that alexander of phenomena alexandra, tell us how significant is this deal between b, u and the u. s. while a deal is definitely very significant, we are not talking here about delivering additional volumes of liquid natural gas to europe. both sides the u. ass and europe are again presenting and unite a united front. and there are deepening their energy partnership an

u. s. would step in, it's likely to get more expensive because of rising transportation and energy costs . experts here in turkey, economists tell me that they do expect for the price hikes for basic goods, especially for bread, but also for gas and oil. so the consequences for turkey's already ailing economy could be quite severe. skyrocketing, inflation has already caused a loss of anger and despair, and now the war could actually add pressure to already existing problems. during the target president, richard tar about along is warping us in line here is out of a new member country at the same time. turgeon is economy are heavily dependent on its ties with russia. well, turkish president, edwin has developed close economic and political ties with both russia and ukraine in recent years. and yes, that has put him in a delicate position where we see him now trying to balance his commitments toward the ukraine. a turkey thought. com, the trojans to the ukrainian government. are they also a ne, ann

u. s. and the you have announced a plan to reduce european countries dependence on russian gas at a joint news conference with the commission chief of underlying prison job and said that the u. s. would increase its deliveries of liquefied natural gas to europe by 15000000000 cubic meters this year, replacing 110th of russia's gas supply. he also said the current crisis is an opportunity to boost renewable energy sources. on his 1st trip to europe, since russia's invasion of ukraine, u. s. president joe biden is stepping up efforts to assist you allies announcing a task force to reduce europe's reliance on russian fossil fuels between european union. there we were going to work to ensure an additional 115-1515 1000000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas l n g. for europe this year. and as a year, as you worked to discontinue it by russian gas well before 2030 and was, will also work to ensure additional you market demand for 50000000000 cubic meters . rowan g from united states annually by 2030 with almost half of the ears, natural gas coming from russia. the european commission president said it sends a clear message that europe won't help fuel russia's warren. mister president, t

u. s. would have, would be a ban on energy imports from russia, and that's being talked about quite seriously in the united states. interestingly enough, the u. s. itself is a major oil exporter, but it does import oil from russia. 245000000 barrels in 2021. and that was significantly up over the preceding year. that's about 7 percent of overall oil imports into the u. s. so it would have some effect if such a band were to be put in place with the e u. the picture, however, is a lot more problematic. the fact is, as you know, the, you dependent on imports of gas from russia for countries like germany, they make up 40 percent of gas imports, which is why germany's economics minister ruled out such a ban for now saying it would be a threat to social cohesion the e u has said that.

u. s. would keep up pressure on flooding or put it in other ways as well. where crippling prudence economy, we're punishing sanctions that's going to only grow more painful over time with the entire world, nato, and you behind us in many other countries. what's a stake here are the principles that the united states and the united nations and across the world stand for. it's about freedom. it's about the right of people to determine their own future. it's about making sure ukraine never will never be a victory for prudent. no matter what advances he makes on the battlefield. well, they don't. he's washington bureau chief as poll. what's president biden's announcement and gave me her assessment in his a welcome at quite a list there that the president had of not just money but also, but also a defensive arms and humanitarian assistance. right, phil, this is the response of this really dramatic her and emotional speech president zalinski gave earlier this day, urging her the united states to help building a no flies on over the over ukraine and just helping th

u. s would defend its nato allies, but he again said that us forces would not get involved in the fighting in ukraine, which is not in nato member. instead, biden promised more sanctions against russia targeting its oligarchs and closing airspace to russian aircraft nation. let's listen it. some of biden's address poses latest attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he rejected repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the western nato wouldn't respond. he thought i could divide his at home in this chamber in this nation. he thought he could divide this in europe as well, but putting was wrong. we are ready, we are united, and that's what we did. we stayed united. we prepared extensively and carefully. we spend months building coalitions of other free de la nations, in europe, and america, for america, the asian, and african continents. to confront potent, like many of you, i spent countless hours unifying your european allies. we shared with the world in advance. what we knew putting was planning, and precisely how we would try to falsify and justify his aggres

u. s would help gathering evidence. he accused the kremlin of carrying on indiscriminate attacks of an intentional strategy in the conflict that happened. we are going to contribute. you ministers, meeting in brussels, of also accused russia of war crimes. in besieging the southern ukrainian city of mario pole. but there was no opposition to more sanctions from some members, including germany, made concerns about high energy prices and fears that russia might hold gas exports to europe. a court in moscow has banned facebook and instagram and russia labeling them extremist organizations. the 2 social media platforms owned by a parent company meta had already been blocked in russia over their role in disseminating information. following russia's invasion of ukraine. twitter is also currently restricted. new zealand has pledge a further $3500000.00 of non lethal military assistance to ukraine, prime minister, just into and said the money would be primarily directed to a nato trust fund. provides help in the form of communi

u. s. would defend its nato allies, but again said that us forces would not get involved in the fighting matter. marriage is of love us endless. william glue croft is with me in the studio to break things down. william, you're watching the speech with me. it wasn't long before bought. and teddy's attention to ye crying and very much addressing the room as the commander in chief . yeah, it was definitely that the top line that had to be right. i mean, this is a huge war that's looking to up and european security looking to up and a lot of, of the way we've known life to be for at least the last 30 years. and the post cold war last 80 years since world war 2. so this is a huge, huge issue that joe biden, of course, has to confront, has been confronting the last, ah, many weeks and months. and he had some tough talk to say to vladimir putin. i think we have a quick, a clip of, of him having a message to the rest. president foods lead his attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he

u. s. would then replace them with f sixteens in poland, but then it would be up to the us to make the transfer of the air craft to ukraine, bringing the u. s. into a much closer contact to this ongoing conflict that had been so far. so that is a complicated situation. the reason why the poland is doing it this way is essentially it's sharing responsibility with us. should this plan go ahead, add the u. s. and poland would face whatever retaliation russia may exert, which it is threatened to do. so if any other nation lends its ed croft to ukraine, i'm also just add why it's necessary for this to happen. and polish eyes is that ukranian pilots are trained on the mig 29. they are not trained on the f sixteens, so they need to get big 20 nines. the polish solution to this is to involve the us in a kind of swap and the transfer. but at the same time, it threatens to bring the u. s. into russian crosshairs, along with poland. it does my cannon with the latest on that from washington d. c. mike, thank

u. s. u. k, australia, and poland that would arguably capitalize the killing, wounding, or displacing of tens of millions all around the world. it was of course, george w bush, a secretary of state, colin powell, who held a vial at the un security council to make the flawed case for war in iraq. and is the world today teaches on the edge of a global conflict that could be even more deadly than iraq. afghanistan, libby, or, or syria and join are from falls church, virginia by pals, former chief of staff, colonel larry wilkerson retired colonel wilkinson. thank you so much for coming back on the show. just stay in the past few days. i think one reporter said to jen saki, the press secretary for the white house. why are you sending in short, guns, pistols, a grenade launchers and the like to the ukrainian people as defensive weapons? what do you make of the massive amounts of arms on top of the ones given before i rushes invasion? what it, what do you make of this arming of you grain? well, 1st of all, to domestic political requirement, a president biden. and he has to be very outspoken about it

u. s. would you say that that is right and if so what could biden actually do to change russia's calculus? well i would disagree. i think it's a conflict between russia and the west, the west as a civilization and the worst as a system, political system and economic system. and this is how russia is has been seeing this conflict for years and years. so it's not actually knew the worst refused to see it like that the west has been looking at it as a conflict between russia and ukraine which is just a battlefield. um and i think to your question how could the u s. um maybe stop it? i think um looking back some weeks maybe months prior to this conflict, we've seen how the u. s. administration reacted differently. they disclosed the information that they had about this plan of this war this was new and this allowed the u. s. and its allies, the u. k. and some other nato countries to supply ukraine with weapons. and that was very very important for ukraine because it is it's those weapons that ukraine

u. s. would come to the defense of any country that may be attacked. should there be any spillover of. 8 this conflict from ukraine into another neighboring nation, including poland, is something that the u. s. would entertain the vice president also very quickly, once again, echoing her concerns about that attack this week on that maternity hospital saying that should be investigated for war crimes. all right, good. thanks so much. kimberly. plenty more still to talk about. of course in europe on different medic edits, jane space joins us now from the side. we're expecting a big gathering of the leaders of what's on the table for them. well, i'm afraid it's more depressing news with regard to efforts to draw and get peace, or at least to cease far ahead of the talk to the taking place. here there's been a phone call with the russian president vladimir putin. he was joined on a call by the german chancellor and the french president, but nothing really came out of that. sadly, they pushed him for

would already be reflected in election outcomes. well that brings me on very nicely to my next question. talking about elections. we have the midterms coming up in the u. s. just across their lunch. can petro price is the highest since 2008? do you think president biden would risk this bond on russian oil imports? i mean, they also seek to benefit from potentially hi, ellen, g exports. it's inflates prices. yeah, exactly. that has been very well documented in your report beforehand. you es explore does. i can easily do now that i'm conventional shane oil and gas trailing, which is cost intensive, which only makes commercial sounds a threshold. and this threshold is there. so it's it's, it's really easily earned money also by companies. but if i may recall in october, we saw president biden triggered the strategic petroleum reserve, a order to make prices smaller for the average us consumer october for 4 months ago. we ran not yet in that election situation, it was all about inflation. it was an anti inflation national. vice president biden, pretty size. the strategic petroleum reserve should only be opened in case of real supply issue. and that would be

u. s. would defend its native allies. but he repeated his assertion that the us forces would not get involved in fighting in ukraine. which is not a nato member, is that he promised more sanctions against russia, targeting its oligarchy. and he closed u. s. s. base to rush aircraft. and here is some of what he had to say. put latest attack on ukraine was premeditated, and totally unprovoked. he rejected, repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the worst of nato wouldn't respond. he thought i could divide it at home in this chamber in this nation. he thought he could divide us in europe as well, but put was wrong. we are ready, we are united and that's what we did. we stayed united. we prepared extensively and carefully. we spent months building coalitions of other freelance nations in europe . and the americans take for america to the asian and african continents to confront putin. like many of you, i spent countless hours unifying your european allies. we shared with the world in advance. what we knew put was p

u. s. would continue adding to spoken to fellow opec members of her increasing been as well in oil production that would require the u. s. to ease or eliminate oil sanctions. de la haney. but i really started medical related. we have always lead initiative to stabilize the market. the gas market and the energy market. once we have recovered moderately, we are prepared to produce up to 3000000 barrels for the stability of the world for peace, for everything. for the last 3 years, washington has recognized opposition leader one why law. as venezuela's transition president, but the ukraine crisis and the sky rocketing price of fuel seemed to be setting the stage for a more pragmatic approach to us venezuela relations. if you're not in. but if you remember, there's an extraordinary correlation between major will producing countries and autocratic rules. the u. s. doesn't want to buy russian or running or venezuela oil . the saudis don't answer the phone. so if your button, you don't have the luxury r

u. s. would actively pursue dialogue and engagement in search of an effective solution to manage and settle the differences that alas, we did not see. regrettably days and months elapsed while irrelevant party failed to take tangible, practical actions in response to the dpr kays justified concerns other than speaking about, quote, unquote talks without preconditions offering sanctions relief. without substantive diplomatic progress would only final more reb revenue to the regime and accelerate the realization of his w, m. d, and ballistic weapons goals. it also sends the wrong message to other w deep proliferate ers, that the security council will roll. we ward them for repeatedly undermining the non proliferation regime. meanwhile, the sanctions regime has undeniably restricted the dpr, kays unlawful weapons advancements. so now is not the time to end our sanctions adding to concerns in addition to the mis a launch. the 13th in the last year, the united nations warned that north korea is again

u. s. would get alternative supplies. my kind of reports from washington dc. the u. s. motorist is already feeling the pain. the price of gas is now at its highest level since the economic crash in 2008 . and this could rise even further, should the us decide to impose sanctions on russian oil. no decision has been made at this point by the president about an been an import, a ban on importing oil from russia. and those discussions are ongoing internally. and also with our counterparts and partners in europe and around the world, i would know that what the present is most focused on is ensuring we are continuing to take steps to deliver punishing economic consequences on certain well taking all action necessary to limit the impact to prices at the gas time, the u. s. is the world's largest oil producer, but is also the largest consumer and remains dependent. unimportant, foreign oil. 8 percent of oil imported in the us comes from russia and the bided administration is seeking ways to make up the shortfall should impose sanctions. the white house confirmed a high level

u. s. secretary of state, anthony lincoln says, washington is working on a deal with poland to supply new crime with fighter jets under the deal. the u. s. would replenish poland. stock of war pines if warsaw decides to send its soviet era across to you prior to news update this hour. we'll have more news for you at the top of the hour. there's plenty more ella analysis and information on the war on our website as well. that's d, w dot com. william blue coughed will be here with you next to alex. i'm rebecca, written in berlin. thanks very much for watching with ah, with a, a green revolution is underway. and beads women are part of a country boy mission, a 100 percent eco friendly refrigeration system for 10 year old contaminated freezers. going eco friendly with pico africa on dw. ah, devastated how is this soft are we can with cars kinda defects of climate change? i mean, felt worldwide before a station in the rain forest continued, carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your own mind. d. w. need for mi

u. s. would defend its nato allies, but he again said that us forces would not get involved in the fighting in ukraine, which is not meant nato member state. instead, biden promised more sanctions against russia targeting it's oligarchy. and he closed us aerospace to russian aircraft. it matter. here's part of what biden had to say. put his lead. his attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he rejected repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the western nato wouldn't respond. he thought i could divide it at home in this chamber in this nation. he thought he could divide us in europe as well, but put in was wrong. we are ready, we are united, and that's what we did. we stayed united. we prepared extensively and carefully. we spent months building coalitions of other free de la nations in europe, and the americans for america to the asian and african continents. to confront potent, like many of you, i spent countless hours unifying your european allies. we shared with t

many observe as expected, biden would try to pressure the you to follow the u. s. as lead and cut off a russian gas and ports completely not hasn't happened. even though we know that several members of the blocks members were in favor of such a move. tell us more about that. so this is caution is still going on. there are some members states, for instance, poland he would like would like to see tougher sanctions on russia. total ban on energy imports from russia. the thinking behind that is that it is european money, presumably that is also financing 14th war on russia. but there are other members, deeds hungry, austria, and 1st and foremost, germany who are saying we need to 1st diversify our energy supplies. we need time to do that. and there are saying it's not possible right now to cut of or all imports from russia and the job german chancellor. olive schultz told us yesterday that there is another aspect to all of it that it's important to have still some sanctions that could be introduced. if had a situation is getting worse in ukraine. d. w, brussels bureau

u. s. was not truthful with it. they thought they would. the u. s. for it back him up on this and of course they've done nothing. um, so yes, i think the international system has broken down. the u. s. in particular has intentionally destroyed it. bit by bit. the attack on serbia was a big part of doing that. and so what is there to appeal to? and i think we have to start asking what is there to appeal to internationally for these sorts of things. and we need to start creating something that's real to do that if, if we, if we really handle dan, i don't, i don't want to sound like a broken record, but this was offered in december of last year to reassess the security architecture of europe. and it came on deaf ears. why the 1st guy before we go to the break, why a guy had the right way? i wasn't for this was happening on the month before or the month after we got this article in yahoo that showed you normally drop your the united states as training. and insurgency were ca official to kill russians. right? so we have this program and that's something t

was standing united in the face of russian aggression and pledged the us would defend its natal allies. but he again said the u. s. forces would not get involved in the fighting in ukraine, which is not a natal member instead, biden promised more sanctions against russia targeting it's oligarchs. anti closed u. s. s. base to russian aircraft. this isn't in to some of biden's address here. put letters attack on ukraine was premeditated and totally unprovoked. he rejected repeated repeated efforts at diplomacy. he thought the western nato wouldn't respond. he thought i could divide us at home in this chamber in this nation. he thought he could divide us in europe as well, but put was wrong. we are ready, we are united, and that's what we did. we stayed united. we prepare extensively and carefully. we spent months building coalitions of other freelance nations in europe, and america for america to the asian and african continents. to confront putin. like many of you, i spent countless hours unifying your, our european allies. we shared with the world in advance. what we knew put was planning and precisely how we wou

u. s. academic who says the biden administration has illegally supplied weapons and the american establishment media has stepped in to justify that to the public. yeah, i mean at the top ranges the u. s. would be officially outline such, such are arming and such training of the as of the militia, the ass, off battalion. and yet at the same time is actually undertaking it. but it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever. doesn't surprise me whatsoever. because basically we get nothing but double speak here from the, by the administration and the mainstream media. they basically do one thing and say they're doing the, you know, say they're doing one thing and do the precise opposite. cnn is a basic cheerleader for neo con, militarism and cnn is just the arm of the democratic party. they're, they're, they're, they're mouthpiece and they'll well support whatever the democrats are doing, including war, including illegal arming and training of the as all forces. and including anything that they undertake really in russian court upholds a ban on the american social networks. instagram, facebook as extremist organizations, after their parent company meta said it would allow, hate speech against russian sold

u. s. would commit $1000000000.00 in humanitarian. 80 a crane and the western allies would impose a raft of new sanctions on moscow. ross went on, she knew sanctions of more than $400.00 individuals and entities aligned with an alignment with the european union. more than 300 members of duma oligarchy and russian defense companies that fuel the russian war machine. earlier in the day, ukraine's president address night to leaders and asked the military alliance for more help to fight russian forces. you greenland, in my evidently ukrainian army has been resisting for a month in unequal conditions, and i have been repeating the same thing for a month now to save people and our cities, ukraine needs military assistance without any restrictions. plato continues to reject zalinski request for a no fly zone over ukraine of affairs that he could escalate the conflict. but the alliance has agreed to send more weapons to keith, as well as equipment to deal with a possible chemical or biological attack. as

u. s. secretary of state antony lincoln says, washington is working on a deal with poland to supply ukraine with fighter jets under the dale. the u. s. would replenish poland. stock of bull plains if warsaw decides to send its soviet era aircraft to you and authorities in new kinds, port, city of matter. you, paul, have a great another partial safe fire with russian forces and a renewing efforts to evacuate. some of the $400000.00 civilians trapped that evacuation efforts who cooled off on sat today after each side accused the other of violating the states. our agreement is rarely prime minister f tommy bennett has been in berlin way. he held talks with his german counterpart of sholtes. israel aims to become immediate and between russia and ukraine. bennett early i met with russia vladimir putin and spoke twice with you kind of a lot of miss zalinski know, watching data mini news life from the lin. they'll be more news at the top of the hour. in the meantime, there's plenty more information on the situation and you kind on our website, that's j. w don't com. i'm rebecca written for me and the team thanks very much for watching. ah ah, wit
