germany. it should not go anywhere else. for the west, it means that the movement of article five across the 1989 line with restrictions only applies to germany, there is no restriction on what nato can do anywhere else. so, they disagree fiercely over this as they are trying to negotiate what becomes the nato russia founding act. yeltsin kept pushing back and saying no, that document was basically a veto anywhere else, you could only goodies to germany and nowhere else. the west, says that's not of the document, not the four corners of the document. it only talks about germany. so, yeltsin belatedly tried to 1997 to get a veto over nato enlargement, which gorbachev had gotten a 1990. he fails but this is key, he starts saying publicly that he'd gotten won anyway. he start saying, to appease as domestic critics, i got a veto against further nato expansion, nato infrastructure is likely to move eastward. american diplomats reaching frantically to the then-foreign minister -- and others saying, you know this isn't true, right? yeltsin know

the first state visit to then west germany in 1965. 21 years later widely seen as one of her most historic state visit to the republic of ireland by a british monarch in 100 years. it was the first time a reigning monarch traveled to the emerald isle since its separation from the united kingdom. >> that moment when she came off the airplane in ireland, the republic, and came down the steps dressed in st. patrick's blue and later on lowered her head at the memorial to those who had sought republican success and who had fought for it, that was significant and i think the queen was trying to create an environment for an improvement in relations. >> to all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past, i extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy with the benefit of historical hindsight, we can all see things which we would wish had been dong differently or not at all. >> and joining me now is abc news royalty consultant alistair bruce. thank you so much for being with us as we just saw in the piece, the queen is no stranger to making history. there are so many incredible mom

west germany is increasing its defense spend top two percent which is what it should have been all along year. and so is the rest of the world. so is china for that matter. japan is not going to spend more money on defense. this is a gigantic blunder for putin. no way to argue that. >> greg: cat are we in a weaker state because we're pulled in and spending money in a proxy war? or what do you say libertarian lady? >> kat: yeah we often get pulled into this stuff because it's mirabile and it's hard to not see what's going on and want to. but we're not always good at who would we get involved in these sort of things so it's good we've stayed measured and not gotten too involved in it. >> greg: that's true. i'm just giving, we're actual friends. we were in a band before u2 and i said dude you sing very hard try to slow it down a little bit. >> skunk: greg you mentioned the kind of guts it took those guys to do that. >> bret: once you go in a war zone and you're singing in a subway station, that's pretty bad ass. >> greg: no, it's great. i wonder how do they get in there and get out? i guess

west germany supplied the soviet union with a steal to make pipelines in exchange for cheap natural gasst oil pipeline. it funnels a fuel from russia to belarus, poland, hungary, slovakia, the czech republic, and germany. in fact, the network of pipes literally resembles an artery from the beating heart of the oil industry in russia to countries throughout europe. most of them, by the way, former socialist republics. as for germany, despite being the biggest european customer, it is a world leader in a green energy. earlier this year, in response to the russian invasion of ukraine, germany decided to make a major shift in energy policy. germany unveiled a new package of reforms that aimed to rapidly accelerate its expansion of wind and solar power. it has as a target to generate 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2035. germany plans to reach the goal by reducing its dependence on russian gas, accelerating renewable energy capacity installment, building to liquefying natural gas import facilities. right now, it has none of these. getting this and 13 done in 13 years is amb

collective west with this proud germany, which needs ukraine as a bargaining chip. i'm not talking about the bulgarian brothers, who today it's just there, so to speak, they wipe their feet, and they agree with this on the other hand. we see, for example, a proud organ. i understand how difficult it is for him to step aside from this system, but he is such a correct hungarian nationalist in a good way. two words he fights for the hungarians. and , of course, you know, kuleba, here, i want to ask a question to those present. do you believe that the kuleba is going crazy, of course. and, of course, no, no, of course, but he utters words that can be easily mistaken for madness. he says we this is the volume of mariupol, we will win this war. if he says so, we must ask ourselves a question. if he's not crazy, why is he saying this? why is he saying this? well, simple explanation. he says this, because everyone would hear him, and the people whom they are burning there today in azov , which means others who are thrown today, and in the furnace of this war, it is necessar

the thing is that the authorities of the city of waldorf in the south-west of germany thus want to savehicks of the rare crested lark from extinction, apparently, the cats walking by themselves did not give these chicks peace. only such an explanation i can find this information. to be honest, i'm a little shocked, but they say that waldor cats can be arrested for years, but maybe a german ecologist should borrow experience from english cattle breeders. yes, now i will tell you about this in more detail. attention, a gps collar is testing our screen in the uk. for whom do you think for cows, experts believe that in the future such gadgets will allow farmers to get rid of the fences to manage the herd virtually as soon as the animals are there, and approaching the borders of the pasture will be followed by a sound signal that they are afraid of using the chip, you can monitor the movement of cows and receive notifications. if necessary, you can change the virtual boundaries in the collar built-in battery, which is charged from the sun, in winter the battery can be charged from electricit

be necessary to solve logistical problems with the transfer, and fuel and lubricants from the west to germanyern region. really. uh, in the press there was such a definition that the oil imbargo would turn into east germany, or rather, divide germany again with the berlin wall. ah, given that the east will be cut off from the normal supply of fuel and lubricants. as for gas, they must buy 40 billion cubic meters of gas per year until 2030. and even if they decide, uh, to reduce the consumption of russian gas. they will have to pay the entire amount on the principle of secretly olga well, and the sixth sanctions package was not voted on. can we get away from the fact that there is no consensus? can we assume that hungary will resist her? audacious stance or is it a reprieve? what is called such unpleasant blows for us to our own russian economy? not called the oil embargo a blow to the russian economy, because russian oil is in demand in the world. i. well, of course, some difficulties will arise, but i would not unnecessarily traumatize this situation, especially since for europe, e, the sixt

at several times in the west of germany, railroad transport was disrupted. throughout the region. russia says that it's in full control of ukraine's pummeled port city of maria pole . that would be president vladimir putin's biggest victory since the war began almost 3 months ago. the last remaining soldiers defending b as of style still works. a set of surrendered on friday, ukraine's president says they were ordered to lay down their weapons. lee, at the issue, year to day, the defenders received a clear signal from the military command that they can get out and save their lives . docile jibari has more from moscow on what's likely to happen to the fighters. these are the last remaining ukrainian fighters in the as of style steel plant. now they are prisoners of war. they survived russia's onslaught for more than 2 months in the steel plant. their future is now unknown. their surrender brings a much needed victory for russian forces in the strategically important port, city of mary opal, the ministry of defense as reported to precedents of russia on the end of the operation. and the co

in ukraine, everything has been made so simple for us to digest in the west and germany. there are so few. this is the worrying thing. there are so few journalists on the ground now in ukraine you just sent invoices who are able to ask the more difficult questions, hardly any reconstitute characters. you know, like generally in sitting there who are operating around because what will happen to those channels? you know, we saw recently with the rest of the actually in glow, gra, because on the right, it was detained by the parent security forces per week. you know, that was a signal for me to journalist western john. this is what happens to you when you break away from the spin, spin fed narrative from the west, from our own public relations executives in jeff on how you look at the store is when you break away and you start asking difficult questions. you want to say is this fun treatment? and i think this is the tragedy of this war. it is a, it's a very sad thing. i think he was good. so who said that the truth is, blinds don't look at it too, too, too brightly. almost l

this is the result of russia, i'm sorry that the west and germany are actually starting such a war against russia, but uh, i would take all this, of course, very seriously. why? because this famine can be provoked and, uh, it can be provoked both in ukraine and in special regions precisely in order to turn most of the countries of these regions against russia. you noticed, probably, and we all noticed that lavrov spoke to the arabs now that we are not russia's fault. we're not blocking grain supplies, please, but if the fairway is mined, there's nothing we can do here to block it, and in this situation, it might be worth blocking. think about it. no, nothing. i am sure that we have already thought about it, yes, we have thought about it and it is possible to move on, because this is a transport infrastructure that is used on one side of the military equipment of weapons. i heard a second. there is nothing where there is nothing, firstly, so let's start with the figure that the little fingers cited, that 20 million dollars have already been exported from ukraine, all ukraine's reserves toda

this smell with the west, including with a united germany , i don't know if there has ever been in historywell , at least the state of the russian principalities, when they went to the ardu, there for the label someday. here is an even more shameful moment than yeltsin in congress with all his vile speech. he really said there, he really said the seven boyars. he said god bless america and russia and the poles. are they there? have you arrived? of course not, no what are we talking about when invited. yes, that's right, of course, they came, but even then, at least this one was here, and this one went there. bless america to swear there and he said, lord this one.

germany. it should not go anywhere else. for the west means that the movement of article v across the 1989 line with restrictions only applies to germany. there's no restrictions on what nato can do anywhere else. so the disagree fiercely over this as they are trying to negotiate what becomes the nato-russia founding act, yeltsin keeps pushing back and say no, no, no that document was basically a veto anywhere else and you could only go to eastern germany nowhere else. the west says that's not in the document. it only talks about germany. so yeltsin tries in 1997 to get a veto over nato enlargement which gorbachev had not gotten in 1990. he fails but this is key. he starts saying in public that he got not anyway. so we start saying to appease his domestic critics i got a veto against further nato expansion. nato infrastructure is not going to move eastward. american diplomats out frantically to the then foreign minister and the other saying no, this is an true, right yeltsin knows this isn't in the document. he says i keep telling this b
