u. s. for training shows that the situation across the taiwan straits is indeed perilous. if it wasn't the u. s. would not be doing this is why we endanger ours because we've become a porn and the conflict between china in the u. s. law. william, your other son, but there are these sentiments, the oppositions alone or do they represent a considerable view in taiwan population. i think these views represent a certain faction inside a tony society, even though we are seeing the number impose, suggesting more and more people are willing to fight for time one, if a conflict broke out with china. but at the same time, there are people who i've been talking to in recent months and weeks staying at the end of the day, maintaining peace and stability across the toe and street is still their top priority. and they are concerned about the moves and deepen ties. between the u. s . and taiwan in on the military front. and also the, you know, want these kind of gestures, the news are going to send signals to be jane and how beaching as possibly going to respond. so clearly these are not only, you know, restricted

u. s. administration where there's what you can do assigned or after that when the u. s. would do from, from the so the situation with continues to be a tense situation. and the focus of the united states has always been tilting more towards iran and trying to see how they can persuade israel to accept the u. s . approach in relation to iran, which hasn't been the case and i doubt that it will become the case in the near future if the united states decides to pursue the nuclear. you know what but, but this has not been a priority in the u. s. indicated that this is no longer as it once was. okay, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time at that is hash him use if senior fellow at, at the institute of pace. thank you. it's riley authorities are stepping out the demolitions and occupy to east jerusalem after the cabinet announced punitive measures against palestinians earlier this week. palestinians and g b a look at the coast streets and port oil on the roads to stop israeli forces from demolishing their homes. at least 15 palestinians were injured during co

u. s. would say that defense budget, there was private concern about that in the us became very public. when donald trump became president, is euro wasn't pulling its weight. well that of course is all changed in the last year since the war in ukraine and european leaders. ready i think have been much of the driving force. so what's gone on in nato, for the 1st time in the last year, many of those leaders are saying we need to support present lensky incredibly strongly talk to him, how long this will last. when the negotiations start, the message really is for as long as it takes. but i think the u. s. still has a very important role. he's still the biggest funder of nato. and in the end, the u. s. election campaign is going to be very important for the war in ukraine presidential elections in just 2 years time on a different party. a different president may have a very different view of ukraine. james phase for inside story in munich. ah, it's now welcome our guest joining us from vienna as wolf

u. s. presidential biden made a surprise visit to keith just days before the one year anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. biden said the u. s. would st. another half a $1000000000.00 of military i'd, including ammunition, radar, and other equipment bought and travelled to ukraine by train from poland where he is on his scheduled visit. and right now in the capital walsall ah, a gesture of solidarity and a vital reminder of unity between the u. s. in ukraine against russian aggression air raid sirens blaring across the ukrainian capital during u. s. president joe biden surprise visit. there were no reports of russian air strikes, but the sound is still a clear reminder that ukraine is under constant attack, making support from the u. s. more important now than ever on here. sure. and we're very supportive from the national french sovereignty and territorial integrity in today. i hope we have a chance to discuss our united states and our allies are keeping constant contact group on our partners. can most effectively support you and your cause to present ukrainian president full autumn ears to lensky voice, his gratitude to the huge

u. s. would deploy more advanced weaponry to the korean peninsula. there is rising concern over north korea's weapons testing program. nato chief dns dalton burke and japanese prime minister female because she does have promised a booth ties, meeting in tokyo, the paste. they were concerned by the growing threat to global security posed by russia and china. japan is not a nice, i'm in the back corporate. closely with the alliance funerals have been taking place for some of the 100 people who died in pakistan following monday, suicide bombing, add a mosque in for shower. most of the victims were police officers. the most is located in a high security compound authorities are investigating how the bomb and managed to get inside without being stopped. their families and colleagues are bidding them so well with full police honors. meanwhile survivors are recovering in the hospital many in shock and still wearing their police uniforms. um huh. they, they are low. as soon as we raised her hands to begin her prayer, we heard aloud last, i felt a huge flame

in fact, i would argue that u. s. president would be even even more for firm and decisive and defending usa percent. and then, you know, who's doing what's in russia's best centers. unfortunately bind is not doing what is in america's best interest. you just mentioned, put in and i want to ask a question at set of continue our discussion on the religious nature of this battle . because i've heard to, to make repeated references to the bible to and i think for him it's also an ontological battle. and his rationale comes down essentially, to asserting that the united states wants to replace. god wants to put itself into place. i've got to be the only judge of good and evil, what's permitted and what is not on this planet. while also, i'm not subjecting itself to this kind of scrutiny. so essentially put his argument that is, that washington tries to peddle supremacy under the guise of a nest san isn't. do you agree with that? well, no, i wouldn't go that far. but i would say of the u. s. foreign policy of liberalism ge

u. s. would come to their and to help them. so i spoke with some people here in the, in the audience, and they told me that that was exactly what they wanted to hear. one man told me that he would have expected to hear more about concrete troop numbers of weapons that the u. s. is ready to station here in poland, but most of the people that i was able to speak with were very happy with the speech. yeah, there was that general promise of support and unity that we might have expected um to me, what was your most important take away from bite and speech? i think it was interesting to note that president biden really drew a clear contrast between where the world stood a year ago and where the world stands. now. he said, you know, a year ago we were standing here expecting key of to fall it's, we're bracing ourselves for that moment. and here we stand. keith is, is still standing tall and proud. and democracy is still standing tall and proud. and he made very clear that this war and russia's war of aggression against ukraine has act

u. s. would take us move now or he'll, i think what really was the factor here that, that caused the white house perhaps to take a decision was the fact that the u. s. federal aviation administration had to temporarily block flights within a 100 square miles of the atlantic ocean around the south carolina coast because this balloon had gotten in the way. and one thing we heard from the pentagon yesterday is at the moment that the pentagon had been monitoring the balloons movement from thursday and friday, they didn't deem it to be a, a military or physical risk. it appears that at the point that airports had to be closed down because of this, a path of the balloon that, that is when the white house and the pentagon likely decided to move forward with the shooting this balloon down and has the closing all of this airport cause any disruption to passengers? well we're seeing it so far that there were some disruptions. again, those were 3 airports that were closed down the f. a hasn't released much

u. s. would come to the protection of south korea. knowing that it too could suffer in a nuclear exchange. and she did all 100 such a moment came most experts are skeptical. the u. s. president would protect soul or risking the deaths of hundreds of thousands or even millions of his own people, ghetto, yonder, tongue, our presidential demand, president bade, and that the u. s. supreme bag is tactical, nuclear weapons or end or south korea's development of nuclear weapons. officially, the line of the south korean government is that there are no plans to develop a deterrent. but for a growing number of people here, given the growing threat, the argument seems to be, it's better to have your own nuclear weapons, just in case rob mcbride al jazeera. so 4 people have died in new zealand. after sight on gabrielle swept across north island, causing widespread flooding and landslides about a 3rd of the population live in affected areas, and as a michelson shall east reports. the storm may have weakened, but it's left a trail of destruction. an

u. s. would formerly recognize the syrian opposition coalition, rather than the officials said lead government, which is in control of most of the countries territory. well, with the 1st staunch of 8, only 9 reaching opposition held areas of syria, washington sought to blame that the lays on the assad government on russia. reality has been up until now at least that one country primarily has stood in the way of that. the russians have consistently threatened to use their veto when it comes to expanding border crossings. we're going to continue to make the case. countries around the world are going to continue to make the case. and we certainly hope that russia and all those who would stand in the way are hearing and see these just heartbreaking images. the devastating earthquakes out hit the region on monday . you have kill more than 1200 people in government. hell, early is of syria, damascus said western sanctions, particularly those from the u. s. had blocked michael aid from getting through.

u. s. would sent another 500000000 military aid package to ukraine that would include ammunition, radar, and other equipment ukrainian president vladimir zalinski called by this visit, an important sign of support for all ukrainians. it's biden's 1st visit to the cranium capital since russia launched this invasion one year ago this week. let's turn our attention out to the finding in ukraine and kia has issued an air raid alert for the entire country. officials have warned that the stepped up. russian assaults are expected this week. the fighting in ukraine's east rinds on bought. there's been little change along the vast frontline and recent months. ukraine has been calling on the west to deliver yet more weapons and ammunition, which are running out fast. these ukrainian troops near the town or severe ask you said time away from the fighting to home the shooting skills. they will soon put them to use the trenches off the months on the back foot. russian forces have gone on the offensive, talkin

u. s. t escalation and it's aggressive stance. would quote, create the conditions for the pact to fully function. rush, also state that still intends to follow the timeline on weapons reductions set out in the bilateral agreements. but that checks on stockpiles would not be allowed. a reminder, new star, a nuclear limitation, packed between moscow and washington, was signed in 2010 and is set to expire in 3 years. the treaty sets curves on both countries, strategic arsenals, and includes on site inspections to verify compliance, rushes move to suspended. participation came after vladimir putin accuse the west of being involved in attacks on russian strategic air basis. mozilla. we know that the west is directly complicit in kiev regimes attempts to strike to bases of our strategic evaluation. drones used for that were equipped and modernized with the help of natal specialists. western elite cannot ignore the fact that it is impossible to defeat rush on the battlefield. they intend to transform a local conflict into a phase of global con

u. s. would fight china in the next 2 years. i must say that the pentagon distance themselves from these remark saying they were not consistent with american military assessments, but this is one u. s. air for general had said, how would you assess the risk of war currently between the 2 countries is very concerning. then somebody so prominent, really the sort of remarks he makes me seem that you know, they have some kind of direct information alluding to me to whole war. on the other hand, i don't believe the statements about, you know, china, you know, when the time, when you say the china leading, they buy and they think this speculation, the company why it isn't raising babies. why nothing bathing today. so we need to be more careful with beth, and he's very assuring that depends like will say that those, those war prevent the defense department going back to the broader us trying to relationship. i think if you're literally concerning that we are the low calling. i agree with that. i will be starting from perspective. we se

so if charla would do exactly like what the u. s. military did a few days ago by hooking tao, an innocent homeless as the u. s. military characterize this issue ah airship, for example, from the air then china will be fully justified to shoot and shoot and shoot again and again and again. but what, what the consequences, charlotte, the longest visual viagra warm with each other will fairly bit. neither the chinese people nor the american people, therefore under gun and the u. s. government to know the consequences. well, that's returned to our top story, not for some live reaction that's of legendary american award winning journalist seymour hersh, claiming a u. s. norwegian operation was in place of the talking russian gas pipelines in september saying that the bombing had been planned for 9 months since 2021. last cross live now 2 pulitzer prize winning from a foreign correspondent for the new york times chris hedges. joining us from new jersey today, you're most welcome, chris. both you and seymour hersh work for the times at, yo

u. s would support ukraine using all mean back at home. his country face has its own troubles. the state of ohio saw a major blast out of metal plant that's submitted already escalating chemical catastrophe after a trained carrie toxic substances the rails in the state 2 weeks ago. resulting in serious concerns over environmental damage and bite and has neither visited the site nor declared a state of emergency. no wonder many were not impressed with his care visit with a number of republican politicians. also stressing the facts bite in preferred kiev over america on president stay in the us. this is incredibly insulting to day on our precedence day, joe biden. the president of the united states chose ukraine over america while forcing the american people to pay for ukraine's government and war. if you want to understand why so many americans are frustrated right now. biden is in ukraine before ohio, no time to visit east palestine, ohio, but plenty of time for this. we discussed biden's visit to ukraine at holland with civil rights attorney, robert patillo, and his geopolitic

u. s. would support ukraine using all means back at his home country, facing its own troubles, the state of ohio saw a major blast at a metal plant that submitted already escalating chemical catastrophe. after a trained carrying toxic substances, the rails in the state 2 weeks ago, resulting is serious concerns over environmental damage. and biden has neither visited the site nor declared a state of emergency. it's no wonder many were not impressed with his key a visit with a number of republican politicians and the east palestine mayor himself questioning the fact bite him preferred kiev over america on president. stay in the us. you saw president joe biden over, and ukraine did that. make you feel slighted at anyway, that was the biggest slap in the face that tells you right now he doesn't care about us. so a great he can send every agency he wants to, but oh, i found that out this morning and one of the briefings that he was in the ukraine given millions of dollars away to people over there. n

u. s. would send 31 abrams tanks to ukraine. a couple of things here. one, is this a significant number of tanks to make any difference to why this a lot in it? why not say an even 30 or even 40 and then bite and says they'll be making a special kiev version. i guess of the abrams that the u. s. won't be sending at stock inventory of abrams because they have proprietary equipment on them. so when exactly with these key a version abrams even get there. okay, so 1st of all, you know the question why $3131.00 tanks is the size of a ukrainian tank per gate. how many tanks are in a tank brigade? and supposedly the original estimates for the european leper tanks would be 2 brigades worth or 62 tanks, so that that may number may have since changed as to the question will, will, this will 31 tanks will 62 tanks will a 120 tanks make a significant difference on the ukranian battlefield. the aspect give portrait gene started this conflict in february of 2022 with according to western military estimates, tisa and janes as having 2596 tanks. we also know that since

u. s. would formerly recognize the syrian opposition coalition as ruling the country rather than the official. i said, lead government, which is in control of most of the countries territory. well, with the 1st financial aid only now. days and days later, reaching opposition held areas of syria at washington sought to blame that the lays on the government, russia and reality has been up until now at least that one country primarily has stood in the way of that. the russians have consistently threatened or use their veto when it comes to expanding border crossings. we're going to continue to make the case. countries around the world are going to continue to make the case. and we certainly hope that russia and all those who would stand in the way are hearing and see these just heartbreaking images. well, the devastating earthquakes that hit the regional monday have killed more than 20000 inter kia syria including 1200 people in government held areas of the law for the musket said western sanctions,

u. s. would have to adjust their cost significantly. right now their actions are hostile towards russia. what's the solution? i wish i knew tom will tell. can you tell us about the nuclear security at this approach in nuclear power plant? we know about the i e a's involvement. how effective has this involvement been? we know that the plant has come under fire a few times despite the presence of international experts. why is it so hard to set at that protection? so there we invited iaa experts to the 0. she nuclear plants hoping that they would be able to get a more checked of you on what's happening there. that mission hasn't been successful in our opinion. the november reports which some top the 1st 2 months of the i. e. a presence of the plants was biased. we share that in public, and in all private conversations with the i, e, a secretariat. let's see what they say in the february report that should be rated before the board of governors meeting in march. i'll 2nd objective was to bring international acts was there so that the ukrain

u. s. would give key of 31 of these and one abrams tanks. so as a result, germany said they would send some leopard to a 6 tanks. they approved poland request to send care of some of their stock of leopards as well. france so far has tabled the idea of spending any main battle tanks to kiya. they haven't ruled it out, but so far it sounds unlikely, based on the conditions that they've laid out, the checks flat out. no. where does turkey us stand on that can you foresee or to one caving into western pressure to further arm here? well, when we look at turkish foreign policy in turkey's policy towards both russia and ukraine since february 24th thirty's main policy is to continue the relationship as it was before the war ever started to get was supplying drones to ukraine before the war started. is continuing to supply drones during the war 2 days in doing business with russia before the war started bought at 400 is continuing its projects such as the nuclear power plant in korea and several other partnership saying gauge. and it's continuing th
