how likely is it that she will actually meet with president zalinski? well, i mean it's very important for european stated us to bring up that topic. and sanchez has made it quite clear that spain is supporting a key of position that a piece will only be possible. and when russia actually withdraw its true from ukraine and territory, there is a topic that china so far has not publicly commented on a china us a so called peace plan has not mentioned any withdrawal of russian troops. so it would be very interesting to get to know how seizing ping china stated a has reacted, and sanchez actually has declined to comment on that. and from the chinese site. and there's a lot of in transparency, we only get very wake information. so i'm not expecting actually a kia m change of stance by a shooting ping. it's long overdue that he would meet with as the lensky and there were a lot of hopes, especially after seating pings visit to moscow that he would do so that at least they would hold the telephone call. but so far this has not happened or will it be more likel

they're saying, well, we're going to lean on zalinski to have peace talks. but at the same time, they're going to continue giving more money and more weapons so he can win the war . and this is the language that they're using. now they are calling it a war and they are saying that them can be no other outcome apart from a ukrainian victory, whatever that means. and to most of them, that means that pushing the russian army right back to the borders of ukraine, taking over the donna, the donnette skin to hans people's republics. and crimea as well. i mean, that simply isn't going to happen, but you find out the more that they're sending weapons or the escalating with artillery and then we have now tank states walking about air craft. and then it's walking about long range missiles and weapons. every time they do that, it doesn't work and isn't having the effect that they wanted to. so they just continue doubling down and doubling down. and then at that the background of all those thing that they said they're actually that and saying, oh, we want a piece agreem

life blood, also coming up ukraine's president zalinski visits. soldiers in the front line to the dock mood as he tries to boost morale for the longest and bloodiest battle of the war. and german police carry out right on an extreme right wing group implicated loss to you in an alleged plot to either throw the german government. ah, i'm jared raid. welcome to the shy, a new un report says climate change and pollution driving a worldwide shortage of drinking water with hundreds of millions facing critical waters scarcity view way and is holding a special conference in new york to draw attention to a growing crisis. one that's prompted an australian woman to set herself a unique challenge when she noticed that the world was running out of water, mina gould, he started running and she hasn't stopped since i'm running because i want to take the voices of the people from the front lines of the water crisis and take them into boardroom, take them into the holes of power, and in by the government officials the corporate corporate leaders to take action. the athlete and activists from australi

but zalinski is in a difficult political situation. after saying he won't give an inch. now how do you backtrack on that? and would he be really i wonder that that out. you know, it's spin, you know, the word existential has been thrown around or a lot, but you know, whatever happens in ukraine, it will be existential for mr. zalinski, but he volunteered for the job. okay, that's his choice. a shark, you know, we had some, we had treasury secretary, yellen go visit ukraine with a 10000000000 dollar package basically to keep the lights on here. i. i mean, if there is so much dependency there, her, why doesn't the americans, you know, it, it's up to them. i mean, you can't, is a 100 percent reliant, or i should say zalinski is 100 percent reliant on the united states right now. and, and the european union, it's up to the european union and particularly washington can call this off today. now, go ahead in paris. well, i'm actually, i things that are the lensky, the ease of course, relying much on united states of, for military procurements and, and not so on. you rob, or eu

our cobbling together a plan for zalinski, but are they willing to talk to russia in the cross talking piece proposals, i'm joined by my guess i can get in beijing. he's a senior fellow at the institute as well as the chairman of asian narratives in parents. we have a shots up here. he is professor ameritas at the school for advanced studies at social sciences and in new mexico. we have can help me and he is a professor of east asian and global history at new mexico state university. are a gentleman, cross type roles, and in fact that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. i want to talk about the european proposal here, and i want to talk about the chinese one. i'm for the repeat when jock, i'm going to go to you 1st in paris. so we have the u. k. france and germany talking to you crane about possible. a settlement essentially boils down to get as much land as you possibly can by summer, early fall, and will fill you up as much arms as you can carry. i don't understand how that is any kind of proposal at all, but that's what the media is telling us here. it d

you know, a zalinski. i could have gotten something i'm giving up what he didn't even have. he didn't have the john bass and he didn't have crimea. he could have easily given that up because he didn't have it in the 1st place. that way. but no, it was the west that intervened and said no zalinski, you and your gang soldier on into the last ukranian. okay. that's why it did this responsibilities in the shoulders of the west. go ahead, david. yeah. and into the shame of my country, united kingdom, i think boris johnson, who was the prime minister, the time, had a lot to do with persuading zalinski not to go with the peace deal that was being hammered out in turkey between pollutants, lensky, which would have brought this to a close and as he said in the beginning, it was absolutely no reason for this war and his conflict even start. there was no reason for it to continue back in april. they nearly reached a peace agreement where they would have agreed, you know, the crimea would stay russian, that the don bass area would stay russian, which is full of ethnic russians anyway. a

at this is present, zalinski 2nd visits to the backwoods at region. why is he taking such a risk? i think all through this war volumes, lensky has been all about showing his willing sake risks to get closer to the action i was and had a song when the ukrainian came back in the autumn. and he was there, even though there was kind of artillery fire, very close. it's all about the implicit contrast with vladimir putin who, as will remember, likes to meet people, the end of a very long table. his roommate spelled out of time in a bunker and it move around russia in a special homage train. so he is that contrasts especially to christians, recent visit to marble there, which will happened at night with very little interaction with people on the ground . and i think it is also definitely about morale. i mean, buffalo is the center of actual front line. now, huge losses, although we don't have any real kind of data that would talk about the actual numbers. but certainly lots of people down there in the city that probably at some point will have to be abandoned. but it's about, you know, c

k. france and germany are cobbling together a plan for zalinski. but are they willing to talk to russia? i cross sucking piece proposals. i'm joined by my guess. i nar, tangled in beijing. he's a senior fellow at the time institute as well as chairman of asia narratives in paris. we have shots up here. he is professor emeritus at the school for advanced studies at social sciences and in new mexico. we have been hellman, he is a professor of east asian and global history at new mexico state university. all right, gentlemen, cossack rosen, the fact that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciate it. i want to talk about the european proposal here. i don't want to talk about the chinese when i'm for the european. when jack, i'm going to go to you 1st in paris. so we have the u. k. france and germany talking to ukraine. about a possible, a settlement esentially. it boils down to get as much land as you possibly can by summer, early fall, and will fill you up as much arms as you can carry. i don't understand how that is any kind of pro

ah, my manuscripts, mccann, and thanks so much for joining us. president vladimir zalinski has ordered military commanders to send reinforcements to help you in troops defending the besieged city of back. moot, now, doubts are emerging over the strength of russian forces trying to capture the eastern city. the head of the wagner mercenary group has admitted his troops are running out of ammunition. the battle for buck mood is the fiercest of the war so far, and has cost thousands of lives. the fighting has been so intense embankment. one ukrainian commander described it as utter hell. now instead of retreating, these troops will reinforce their positions and attempt to reclaim lost ground. they're determined to save the city, but the enemy is also unrelenting. yeah, but my when it though it was for free or to play for think 5th through moore's forces at us to justify the aim of their so called special operations. will you please for, but i think we probably about computers important because it cuts across roadways and it's higher ground for with football, from its height. everything he

so this is sending a signal at least to ukraine, to zalinski that he's also coming as a friend. the w correspondent, i'm in a seat in keith, thanks so much that i mean our concerns in moldova, that russia could be trying to undermine support for or even topple the country's pro european government. although the board has ukraine to the south, and speculation is rife that moscow is eyeing the country's international airport in kisha. now, the mold open government has said it would blow up the runway rather than let the kremlin capture it. although it also has a breakaway region in the east, that's trans nice trio. well sources are backed by russia. d. w max on the went to a moldova controlled enclave in this russian back region. and sent us this report. an hour's drive from old dover capitol. russian soldiers, they're huge to keep frozen a conflict over who controls the other side of the river. most of it, we're heading to mo, lavolle, to an enclave in the breakaway territory trans mistrial. the strip of land on the border with ukraine. that claimed independence from the capital

this wednesday, grades president brought him his zalinski. he spent the day visiting troops on the front line in eastern. don't ask region, the unannounced visit was his 1st there since last december. and it was meant to be a morale booster for ukrainian troops fighting to retain control of bach moot. the city has been under russian bombardment now for months. ah, boosting the moral of soldiers fighting the fiercest of ukraine's battles so far from ukrainian president volota mere zalinski, his office, released as footage of him handing out metals. it said to have been taken close to the front lines near the city of bach, moved in with wood. i have the honor to be here to day in the east of our state in the dumbasses and to reward our heroes. to thank you, joe. and to shake hands. thank you for protecting mistakes, have been sovereignty, and the east of you, grey grey. the city of buck moot, has seen the bloodiest battles with russia attempting to encircle ukrainian troops there. for weeks. the devastated city has become a symbol of the ukrain

the president zalinski and kia says they've got absolutely nothing to do with it. but of course, if it does prove to be the case, it could really sent shock waves through, for instance, western german support for the war for the war effort in ukraine as well. and no indication of that at this point. now let's rewind quickly and, and take a look at the role that north stream and the north stream pipelines played in germany's relationship with russia in the lead up and the early stages of the war. briefly, if you can when those team won was operating from 2011, bringing russian gas to germany. node stream to during the planning phase was much more controversial and it never went into operation. and that was because it to essentially part bypassed poland and you crate, undermining their interests. it was seen as doing and making germany in western europe much more dependent on russian gas. it took the russian invasion of ukraine, i think, to force a, re, a rethink here in berlin. and the german government ultimately agreed not to put it into operation just shortly bef

if the government does not given to their demands, will ukrainian president volota me zalinski spent wednesday visiting troops on the front lines in the east and don, yet gray and he unannounced visit was his 1st fear. since last december. it was meant as a morale boost for ukrainian troops fighting to retain control of buck murder, which has been under russian bombardment for months. boosting the moral soldiers fighting the fiercest of ukraine's battle so far from ukrainian president volota mirror zalinski his office released as footage of him handing out metals. it said to have been taken close to the front lines near the city apartment with wouldn't i have the honor to be here today in the east of our state in the dumbasses and to reward our heroes, to thank you. good job and to shake hands. thank you for protecting mistakes, sovereignty and the east of ukraine. the city of bar moot, has seen the bloodiest battles with russia attempting to encircle ukrainian troops there. for weeks. the devastated city has become a symbol of the ukraine's resistance and with russia advancing on th

on the shout after their meeting and keep you when chief antonio, potash and ukraine's president zalinski call for the extension of a grain deal aimed at using a global food shortage. and protests turn violent in georgia capital to lucy, anger mouse after the countries parliament signals support for a law that critics say, couldn't muzzle the breast and stifle efforts to join the european union. ah, hello, i'm clear. richardson, welcome. today is international women's day, an opportunity to celebrate women, but also an important time to highlight struggles that women around the world still face. in iran, for example, the situation remains dangerous for women. months after they 1st are to the streets in mass protests, women have achieved some of the freedoms they're fighting for which are by bringing you this exclusive report from tech run. and you'll note that some of the faces have been blurred for people safety. this would have been impossible just 6 months ago, walking distress up to her on in your own choice of clothing. now it's not an uncommon sight any more like this university stu

and he said that that is the only reason why latter mirrors zalinski traveled to the united states in december. because that those are the people making those critical decisions. so again, we can see what is happening behind the scenes. and what's incredible is that in that clip, rory, he also mentioned how it would be ideal if there was a military coup in russia. but he says that is highly, highly unlikely. there are of course, voices of reason out there in the united states, not many rory, but there are some and some who are encouraging peace and returns to the negotiating table and no more supplies of weapons. and that america needs to bag down from this. i'm completely against the war in ukraine. i want to see it come to an end. i want russia and, and crane to come to peace talks and end this war. but, you know, who's driving it, it's america. american needs to stop pushing the war in ukraine. murder. what can we say about the european politicians at this point? i mean, are they all on the same page with washington? there aren't on the same page, but at the same time we can know h

yeah, an interesting one brought him his zalinski is now a regular feature of video cool from him last time he was actually here, but pretty much every summit since the, the war began. zalinski has addressed the e u leaders. we understand that this time it was done from a train and that he said the situation on the battlefield is increasingly difficult and desperate. and he said that they need to be a speed up of the delivery of ammunition and tangs, and that he also long range missiles on modern fights and fighter jets to be delivered by the e partners. i willing they'll be able to do that. able financially, they'll be able to do it. that's the big question, but that's been the demand from the ukrainians for a long time. now. we know that the metric labor, the foreign minister, attended the foreign minister meeting earlier this week, and he said he needs 3 things, ammunition, ammunition, ammunition. while they've got the hardware on the ground in ukraine, they don't have an intense fire in it. they went when the wall. yeah. and they'd like to have some fighter jets on top of that. let

nations secretary general antonio quoterush will also join. ukrainian president will let him hear zalinski will address the meeting via video link. the summer agenda also covers migration and the economic impact of the war in ukraine. so with the or in ukraine high on the minds of e leaders, let's get straight across to our correspondent rosie birch, in brussels, or rosie the you preparing to endorse a plan to send ukraine. a 1000000 rounds of ammunition within the next year is more military support likely to be on today's agenda. leaders here in this building will be giving claire resounding rubber stamp to this plan to jointly procure ammunition for ukraine, something key. it says it needs and fast and we've heard it from the estonian prime minister kaya collis. she is the woman who is behind this plan. she says she's delighted that it's been managed to be agreed within the space of 5 weeks, which of course is quite a long time on the battlefield. what is the timeline of european union low making? well, it's quite speedy. so she says she's delighted when she was asked. will this be enoug

in his nightly video address, president zalinski urged all ukrainians to echo the soldiers words. she wouldn't lose your wounds have you do. a video appeared to day showing how the occupiers brutally killed a soldier who bravely said to their face, glory to ukraine. i want us altogether immunity to respond to his words and glory, to the hero, glory, to heroes, glory to ukraine, and we will find the killers. you may as made them over. when jo, dash is an international human rights and criminal law expert, and we asked him for his assessment of the alleged killing, and if it indicates a systematic approach by russian fighters. well, yes, i think that's clear, the criminal plan or the russian military. i refer to it as a criminal plan because that's what the pattern of violations suggest. they suggest that russia is not just trying to occupy ukraine, but he's trying to actually coast the civilian population into accepting that occupation into allowing russia to extinguish their identity. and so what we see here is across ukraine, across where it's been occupied is a tax on civilian i

so this is sending a signal at least to ukraine, to zalinski that he's also coming as a friend. the w correspondent, i mean, s eith in achieve, thanks so much that. i mean, let's take a look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world. police and demonstrators have classed, and george's capital tbilisi protests were taking place against a government bill. the critic se would restrict free speech if enacted into law, the bill would force media companies and, and jeers to register. any links they have with entities outside of georgia, e. u has condemned the legislation. residents in the central philippines have reported nausea and dizziness in villages close to the location of a major oil spill. that happened last week, the incident occurred off the coast of mon doro island. when an oil tanker sank after experiencing engine trouble in rough seats, a german foreign minister and in a battle has said that states must respect the sovereignty of iraq. she's currently on a visit to the country. a box singled out iran for its missile attacks saying that it was not onl

an aide to ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has denied cheve was involved in the destruction of the nord stream gas pipelines, the undersea pipelines which brought russian natural gas to germany, were blown up last september. now u. s. and german media citing u. s. intelligence have reported a pro ukrainian group may have carried out the attack. the kremlin, meanwhile, has dismissed the allegations as a quote attempt to read the news. this recording is from the moments after the nodes dream pipelines exploded and started leaking. guess. countries have blamed each other for the damage since september 2022. now, new intelligence suggests that a pro ukraine group was behind it by one you, an aide to ukraine's president will order me a zalinski has denied any involvement by cave. russia, meanwhile, has dismissed the recall to foreign ministry spokesperson, muddy ella cordova. thieves tries to divert public attention and avoid of proper investigation. is that not stream pipelines $1.00 and $2.00 caddied natural gas from russia to germany. their destruction of the points seen here has

ah, hello, i'm clear. richardson, welcome to the show. president vladimir zalinski has ordered military commanders to send reinforcements to help you. cranium troops defending the besieged eastern city of bock, motes, ukrainian authorities say only a few 1000 of the original 70000 people living in bok mote remain. the battle for the eastern city is now the longest and bloodiest of the year long war. russia says, seizing walk mote would be on him in stance, toward capturing the industrial don bass region. western defense officials say the city has little strategic value militarily. but that victory there would be symbolically important to russia. the fighting has been so intense embankment. one ukrainian commander described it as utter hell. now instead of retreating, these troops will reinforce their positions and attempt to reclaim lost ground. they're determined to save the city, but the enemy is also unrelenting. yeah, but my when i could, i'd been for flu or the perfect vehicle for a more forces at us to justify the aim of their so called special operation. will you please before bu

and certainly mr. zalinski is going to have to contend with. because we all know that anyone in ukraine in power make some kind of concession, large concessions, number of concessions. um, they're, they're not going to be around much longer after they do that it. we know that go ahead. george. yes that's, that's exactly that in russia's goals out while they were limited back in the last of february, clearly now has to include regime change in care because i cannot allow this zelinski gang, this rabidly raso phobic a crowd to stay in power. i mean, what, you know, what happens, let's say there's an armistice as a some sort of peace agreement. they will immediately start reaffirming we know that's exactly what nature is going to do. i mean, they're going to do what they did in 2014 and just restart this all over again in 510 years time. so russia has to make a drastic change. and i mean, and that's over all this. i mean, whenever america has sport is, was america who is pursued regime change in, or whether it's a regime change. you saw the regime

so this is sending a signal at least to ukraine, to zalinski that he's also coming as a friend. w correspondent, i'm in a seat in the case. thanks so much for that. i mean now in ukraine's neighbor, moldova, there are concerns that russia is considering an invasion. speculation is right, that moscow is eyeing the countries international airport. and tis, now, i'm older than government has said it would blow up the runway rather than let the kremlin capture it. although that also has a breakaway region in the east, that's trans, nice trio. well, authorities are backed by russia. he does, he is max under. went to a madeau. them controlled enclave in this rushing back to region and sent us as report an hours drive from old dover capitol. russian soldiers, they're huge to keep frozen. a conflict over who controls the other side of the river. most of it. we're heading to mobile vaults on enclave in the breakaway territory trends mistrial. a strip of land on the border with ukraine. they claimed independence from the capital casing. now in moldova, more than 30 years ago, and ever sin

now last month your president vladimir zalinski said 2023 will be the year of our victory. do you think that that still stands that's absolutely still possible provide you did this video delivery of a nation and the killer system and battle tanks and fighter jets taking place? that's absolutely possible because there's a view and current and professionals on the armed forces. what we'll need is the unity of europe, or the entire world around to grant in terms of the sanctions. in terms of european integration of your grade, you're talking today about this i'm, it's very important to go in with a european boss of your grade will join your brain for the you. so if everything this is in place, we will definitely, well, well, thank you. so much for taking the time to speak with us today that was your advisor to ukrainian president for letting your so actually really appreciate you taking the time. thank. i also spoke to our correspondent in chief nick connelly and asked him for his thoughts on iraq fast remarks. i think, claire, you heard from that potential advisor? oh, oh, to

reporting from the ground is very, very much in adverse, away from what we keep hearing from the zalinski people from nato itself. i mean, even stilton bird says, you know, the russians are winning on the, in logistics. well, that's what war is his logistics. go ahead. rachel? yeah, well i mean, i've been spending some time recently, obviously in europe in paris here and in germany recently i covered some protests at the ramstein nato and us air base where they launched operation drone operations, notably into africa for example. and protests is there. we're saying, look, i mean, what's going on in ukraine is just light years away from the problems that we have at home. and yes, they feel badly for everybody involved in, in both countries who are impacted by all of this. but, you know, who's actually thinking about the interests of germans, the interest of french people. i mean, we have my coal right now who according to the telegraph today or yesterday, was saying that, you know, there's an issue with you wanting to band together and by ammunition altogether and finance it. and there's a

and that means sacrificing zalinski, of course. go ahead and washington well, a number of things there that you've laid out. i think you started the question with how, what's the definition of wind and the definition of wind from the american perspective is shareholder value, lockheed martin has one. raytheon has one mcdonald douglas and boeing. they've won. i go back to the, our july of 2020, i guess. and they asked the ceo of boeing who boeing preferred to win the election . donald trump or a joe by he said, doesn't matter to us. yeah. because we're gonna get, we're gonna get paid anyway. yeah. so. so the definition of wind for the united states, i think at the end of the day is shareholder value in terms of the relationship between russia and the e. u. i think it's still a little too early to, to call that game because one of the things that very few people discuss in this context is russia has a history that is centuries long. china has a history that is centuries long. the united states still hasn't read 600 years, so they see

here we're, we're getting the outlines of what the west is trying to, jackie ford, leased push, zalinski and his people to do and basically have an offensive get it tried to reach out to retrieve as much reoccupied as much land as you can. and then we'll sit down and talk, you know, the biggest problem with that, ryan is what if the russian so want to talk well, there's a lot of dynamics to that. that, that, that point it really, it, it, the, as people often discuss and nobody wants to negotiate the barrel of a gun. and that's how the u. s. very. as far as i can tell, kind of ubiquitously and everything they do foreign policy operate where it's ultimately we demand something and if you don't comply with that, nothing else is going to be discussed. we see that going on with syria right now in regards to just rebuilding syria. no, we won't even allow them to get their lives back until we get assad at a power. that's how this tends to go. so i don't, i mean, nobody would expect russia from this position to actually engage with the negotiation with somebody is not negotiating honestly. but i

, and all this is over, they're all going to fight to be the guy who's not on a chair, but is on zalinski lap as he sits in the chair, they want to be that guy. so they, they're buying time so that they can all jockey with one another until to see who can get the best outcome when all this is over. that seems to be what it's about. but what's really interesting, as well as in terms of being able to trust the west when it comes to negotiations, that's pretty complicated. i mean, just look recently at the black sea grain deal, which was everybody was up in arms about the fact that grain could get out of ukraine to poor countries. well, look what's happening to it. i mean, i'm a turkish president, an early one. he said that 44 percent of that green right now is going to europe. the top 3 countries that are getting it in. but 46 percent of it is going to china . turkey which are obviously. busy portals to africa and asia, but it's also going to spain and it's being used to feed live stock. i mean spin makes enough grain or has enough grain for itself more than enough grain for itself . so it

jack, you just mentioned that ukrainian president of a lot of miss zalinski joined the summit via video link. tell us what he had to say . here. we know he joined from a train. he also said that the situation was desperate on the ground and that the fighting is intensifying. he was really reiterating the call that the ukrainians have made time and time again that they just need ammunition from their european partners. interestingly, as the summit wrapped up, we also heard from you yes, live on july and the european commission president, she announced that she plans to hold a conference, trying to get ukrainian children who been deported to russia during the invasion back into ukraine. about 16200 odds are still there and haven't been returned. only 300 have been returned. she said, and this is something that is gaining a lot more international attention after. so the international criminal court, or a nice or an arrest warrant for the russian president vladimir putin, on the charges of the war crime of supporting children. so there's a sort of political focus shifting towards that. and

city has become a symbol of the ukraine's resistance and with russia advancing on the battlefield. zalinski is tribute to soldiers comes at a critical time about shakespeare. ukrainian president also visited a military hospital in donuts money, appraising medical teams for their work. very her see what's wrong with them. so i want to thank you for your professionalism and your work. you're open until we when go do we need to save the lives of many people who are defending our country. national wrong. make you that you are defending it on your front muslim point for an organ sullens case visit near the front lines comes just days after russian president vladimir putin took his 1st ever trip to the eastern don bass region. visiting his troops in brushing occupied or mar equal to france. now, where the president there has defended his decision to force through unpopular pension reforms. emmanuel, my crohn says the changes which include raising the retirement age are necessary and he says he's prepared to be unpopular to implement them. his remarks come as angry, protest escalate across france.

good to have you with us ukraine's president bellamy zalinski has extended invitation to chinese liter. she's in paying to visit keith. speaking to reporters from the associated press, zalinski said that if it was ready and willing to host, she shall. he added that the pair had not talked since rushes invasion. the invitation comes after the chinese leader met with vladimir putin in moscow on what she called a piece mission last week. beijing has said that lines of communication with ukraine remain open of more of a spring and dw correspond max honda, who's in kia force slint max science. he says that he is ready to meet china's present. she didn't ping what can the ukrainian president expect from a meeting with she uses sanitary and chinese president. she jumping, went to moscow last week in an attempt to deepen the ties with moscow to solidify the no limit partnership between beijing and moscow. and everybody was watching close. what does this mean or the chinese siding with the russians of the craps preparing to send weapons, but the chinese president left without any public support
