how and why the u. s. was seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info. and then at the nato meeting in riga, there was a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. now, as we mentioned, the new wave of tensions come as the u. s. and russian president's prepared to hold a video call on tuesday, but joe biden seems to be in no mood to negotiate. yes, oh, of course, the diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of a qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, they're even drawing up the cremins battle plans the new

so the u. s. has joined with you and other countries to push back multilaterally on the kinds of practices that we see in russia and china. it's a scary world where tyranny and slave labor become routine. it's important that the west suppose that we can do that diplomatically. we can do that through dialogue and essentially building with russia and china, if they will. but if they don't, and they persist in their ways, then there's clearly going to be a cost to pay for them. the us and the west of the and what does that cost? he's saying is china worried about the cost? no, i don't think china is really to worry about what the americans are pushing at the moment. jiving in china. it has a lisa who is incredibly confident in so any, in the direction of travel which that china is going when can question that and they are good grounds to question whether the direction of troubleshoot jim picks. china is the white one is the want, but he is very competent. there he is, right? so he is not so worry abo

the u. s. and russian presidents have spoken for the 2nd time this month in a bid to de escalate tensions over ukraine. the white house says the cold between joe biden and vladimir putin lost at 50 minutes. they held a virtual summit back in december on the 7th, and vowed to stay in contact on the issue. russia has repeatedly denied its planning to invade its neighbor, despite massing tens of thousands of troops along the border. as to correspond, john, hindrance who is live for us in washington dc. john, give us the details of this conversation between putin invited well, last time this call happened on december 7th. it was the russians who came out 1st with their read out of that called owning the narrative of it. this time it was the white house jen. saki, the press. secretary issued a statement saying, president biden urged russia to de escalate tensions with ukraine. he made clear of the united states and its allies and partners will respond decisively if russia further invade ukraine. pre

s. and the u. k. government, both members of the 5 eyes intelligence alliance and clearly wiki leaks, join us on poses a grave threat to this, to complete dominance of the information space, a digitally and globally. so that's one of the main things i think that they're concerned about having him. basically free is something they want to avoid doing. and so this ruling today is, is basically gonna bring it if it goes to appeal to a low court where we're looking at or maybe another year. so the whole timeline of this, just this saga of the, of the case 3 years. and so this is really a game of attrition that's being played. i think by the british authorities and coordination with the u. s. of, there's definitely political overtones to this that, beyond a doubt now there's involvement of the intelligence agencies from the u. s. and may be more than that. that's also beyond debate now. so you have a completely political situation. so you have a political prisoner, effective in terms of the prosecution,

this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. and china says the u. s. as diplomatic boy thought of next year's beijing winter olympics could harm relation.

the u. s. and its allies is suspicious. so is this the start of a new cold war for global leadership? this is inside store. ah, hello, or if the program on them wrong con, the u. s. europe and their allies in the west often portray russia and china is threats to global peace. they cite examples including russia's troop build up along the border with ukraine. and chinese crackdown on human rights in hong kong. and sion yang. but moscow and beijing see things differently. they accused the west of destabilizing their countries by imposing sanctions and interfering in their domestic affairs residents. a shipping ping and bloody may, putin reinforced that points in a virtual summit. on wednesday, they pledge to corporate on trade and security and to respect each other's interests. katrina, you set up our discussion from beijing. it is, it is a virtual summit and show of solidarity. the presidents of china and russia. she didn't ping and vladimir putin spoke for more than an hour on wednesday, hailing their close ties. voltaire,

and if you look at the amount of weapons that the u. s. has been pumping and military aide, they've been pumping into ukraine. this is effectively from the us side. this is corporate welfare. this is what john mccain's job was while he was sen, was to look for opportunities and markets where they can channel a product in there that's paid for by the us taxpayer for all these defense contractors. now that job is taken over by senator tom cotton, marco rubio, and people like this. they've taken that torch. so there's that. plus there's this kind of nato is having an existential crisis. we all know it, everyone's talking about it. even donald trump remarked on this in his own way, in his own bull she way he remarked on this during his presidency. so it is kind of an alliance. it's an organization that doesn't really, it's not attached to its original purpose at all. everybody kind of knows this, and i think it's, it's good that russia has gone for this reset right now. and that's going to really bring this into the light of day where you can

s. and the u. s. backed political actors at the time that created their crisis, and russia did not invade crimea or sylvester pool. they were there already, and there was a, there was a transition, crimea was reunited with russia and had been separated in 1954. so these nuances never get talked about. and so they think rushes in, violation of all these international laws. and that justifies nato expansion. so if we come to a forum, if we come to a negotiation table, these details should come out. will they though, is this what the u. s. wants do they want to have that conversation? i don't think they do. i don't think their allies do, they want to keep it in the realm of hyperbolic aggressive, to drive by comments and accusations. because there, you don't have to have, you know, you really don't have to abide by any international agreements or treaties. your just seem to be reacting to russian aggression. so i think this is a really important point. you know, george is a 2 document set out for pres

u. s. president pointed out what he called the threatening nature of russian troop movements near the ukrainian border and said severe sanctions were being drawn up. moscow insists it can move its troops wherever it wants on its own territory, while saying its nato that is making the dangerous move. the cremeans spokes person talk to r t about how nato's actions are being regarded in russia. you see jeanette intuitive, which is rhetoric is coming from the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive . we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion . at the same time, no one talks to kia, non warns kiev again, even thinking of a military intervention in the guns conflict with him on that issue. and you know, we need to need to take in an extremely aggressive position and they all say they don't accept any red line voter. second, they say that nato will do what everyone wants, that it will do it on whatever territory one day. i mean, florida, that all of t

is 2 to 92 acres, which is the rhetoric coming from the u. s. and e. u. leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia allegedly planning an aggressive invasion at the same time, no one talks to care of non warns care of against even thinking of a military intervention in a done yet elegance, conflict, mortgage interest on addition to mice. now we see that nato is taking an extremely aggressive position burst. they all say they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants. 3rd, it will do it on whatever territory it wants forth. all of this is aimed to deter russia. we do not like that. we will do everything to insure our own interests. while ukraine and the west accuse russia that have arming the self proclaimed republic to lease an ukraine, the u. s. many times, openly sending arms to key f, washington revealed at 30 javelin ante tank miss. our systems were delivered to craig in october as part of a $60000000.00 military aid package, and a further $200000000.00 on the table to plus with t

if russia were to invade ukraine, the u. s. would send more defensive material and the u. s. would fortify nato allies on the eastern flank. it also looks like the u. s. will joined the minsk agreements. these are the stalled peace accords. the u. s. has not been party to these agreements, and i think russia hadn't really wants the u. s. to join in. it would be an opportunity to revitalize these discussions. but when you read the statements, but moscow and the united states want very different things that the point that jumps out me to me the most is that moscow is, is saying they're, they're engaging in what about is them? they're blaming nato, and they're blaming key of for the aggression. they're not taking responsibility. this crisis is far from being result. victor, a leverage in belgrade. i'm sure you want to respond to some of that, but i want to ask you as well. russia has said that these fears about a russian invasion are unfounded. if that's the case, what a president puts his intentions over ukraine and what's behind the, the troop build up near its border with ukr

how and why the u. s. was seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info. and then at the nato meeting in riga, there was a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. as we mentioned, the new wave of tensions comes as the us and russian presidents prepared to hold a video call on tuesday. but joe biden seems to be in no mood to negotiate. yes, oh. of course, the diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of the qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, even drawing up the kremlin battle plans the new year offensiv

how and why the u. s . was seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info. and then at the nato meeting in riga, there was a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. yeah, and us talked about the new wave of tensions come as the u. s. sun russian president's prepared to hold that video call on tuesday. but joe biden looks in no mood to negotiate yet. i of course, diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of a qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, even drawing up the kremlin battle plans the new year offensiv

and what goes either sunday, u. s. and e, you are proposing or right now would fulfill the demands of crime and serve nationalists. and i want to remind you that and this several cried alliance was formed under the umbrella of, of, of russia and, and they wanted to get them closer to fulfill their ambition to divide bosnia and herzegovina. so these particular reforms that the u. s. and e you are advocating for. ready now, i have been supporting by russia for years. i think that debt alone should cause i know there wasn't negotiators to realize mary of the, of the, their plan in the scenario is what friends who bosses galena peered ahead of the last us election. if, if trump one, but we never really expected from the bye didn't station to take this line, we really knew all along that the russian plan is to divide bosnia to cause us to conflict, to berman boss near joining nato and, and you but the problem is that the you and the us now are actually taking the rattling and everybody is really shocked. all the friends of

the residence of russia and the u. s. have spoken for the 2nd time this month and a bit to deescalate tensions over ukraine. the bio says the call between joe biden of levy, a put in lasted 50 minutes. biden repeated the threat of sanctions of moscow invades ukraine. put in responded that such a move could lead to a complete breakdown of ties between the countries. john henry, get more from washington dc. in a 50 minute conversation between us president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin, the 2 sides laid out their diplomatic positions over growing tensions in ukraine. that is where a 100000 russian troops are amassed on the russian side of that border. after that, talk us press secretary for the president. jim saki issued a statement saying, quote, president biden urged russia to de escalate tensions with ukraine. he made clear that the united states and its allies and partners will respond decisively if russia further invades ukraine. president biden also expressed support for diplomacy. she went on to say t

if russia were to invade ukraine, the u. s. would send more defensive material and the u. s. would fortify nato allies on the eastern flank. it also looks like the u. s. will joined the minsk agreements. these are the stalled peace accords. the u. s. has not been party to these agreements, and i think russia hadn't really wants the u. s. to join in. it would be an opportunity to revitalize these discussions. but when you read the statements, but moscow and the united states want very different things that the point that jumps out me to me the most is that moscow is, is saying they're, they're engaging. and what about is them? they're blaming nato. and they're blaming key of for the aggression. they're not taking responsibility. this crisis is far from being result. victor, a leverage in belgrade. i'm sure you want to respond to some of that, but i want to ask you as well. russia has said that these fears about a russian invasion are unfounded. if that's the case, what a president puts his intentions over ukraine and what's behind the, the troop build up near its border with u

but in light of the growing tension between the u. s. and rush over and ukraine. yeah, probably means russia right now is more inclined to look east at present. the primary meaning of that of that deal is that mongolian, russia are building relationships which once established may take priority over former relationships. other russia had, with europe. russia basically demonstrating that there are other markets into which they can so natural gas and other energy products. not another story to bring you there has been a surprising twist in the migrant. stunned off on the bellow roost poland border. a polish border soldier has not affected to belarus on request and political asylum ortiz ilia. katrinka can tell us more. so when the de facto was talking to the bell, russian media, he said that he was 100 percent. sure, that war saw is now going to try and portray him as a traitor and also a very bad man. and when he was asked the question, by doing so, do the polish officials want to draw attention away from the crisis on the ballroom? poland border? his answer was ob

we want to be friends for both nato and russia, but things keep getting the u. s. and nato, its wishlist for a return to normality, something to start talking about. and it begins with a cool to de, escalate, to win the constant threats and true build ups, which only lead to more of the same. the parties shall not use the territories of other states with a view to preparing oh, carrying out an armed attack against the of the party judge for yourself. where in previous years they threatened each other with, with sanctions or legal action. now, openly booth russia and nato, a talking and fearful tones about war and of the cuban missile crisis. i'd like to believe that this is rock bottom, but there's no guarantees and guarantees are what russia wants. guarantees, for example, that us missiles aren't stationed within a few minutes flight time. to moscow. the parties shall not deploy land based, intermediate, and short range missiles in areas allowing them to reach the territory of the other parties. moscow sees nato slow and unexplainable encroachment towards russia's

s. presidential election when it comes to justice and rule of law that the u. s . president says needs to be upheld around the world. we see gross racial and equality, socio economic inequality and a widening wealth cap in this country. and when it comes to freedom of speech, the u. s. president is talking about how his administration is upholding that. but i can tell you, i asked the administration directly and the u. s. justice department about why than they're keeping the trump era charges against julian assange, who published and exposed war crimes by the united states in iraq and afghanistan. why they are continuing to prosecute a journalist and they had no comment. and these are the points that many people around the world know very well they know about the failed efforts of inflicting a jeffersonian democracy in iraq and afghanistan, and the failures of, of the united states in afghanistan. and, and that disastrous withdrawal that took place as a result a so there is really going to be a challenge by the u. s. president, we should point out that absent f

so of course, and on the u. s. as well, this is part and parcel of the hybrid war is the hybrid wars that we see against the boulevard in camp and land america against china. this is the unipolar hedge of mine, in decline, afraid of more, ah, multi polar world, where different countries can team up together in overcome the sanctions in the blockades, in the hybrid war. so that's what this entire war effort is and here in the west here in the united states, we only hear about quote unquote rushes aggression. but they never mention that nato in the us of the ones that since 1991 after james baker promised the secretary of state at the time that nato would never creep even one inch east every day. they creeped further and further in violation of rushes, borders, and sovereignty. we've also got her g 7 group advanced economies as well. this was much singular on threatening russia, with a severe response, a detox you crate. these threats themselves are pretty dangerous, and again, russia said has got no intention of doi

and that can last about 20 years in the u. s. and it still is also conditional on the austrian agreement to actually reach for the transfer. so when they have not excluded anything. okay, so there's a lot still on the table for them. chris and cops and for a lot of support. this is all about the fundamentals of democracy of freedom. what impact do you think this may have in the future on would be whistleblowers? well, before i get to that, i just want to add to the so called assurances so that there's one thing missing. we haven't discuss that actually in those assurances are so called assurances there is the a clause that says that the government maintain the right to change their mind at any given moment after semester then transported united states. so it's absolutely a hollow and meaningless. an empty organization to take a look at it, including instance, national, has come to that conclusion. you ask about the implication of this? the implication is already here. we see that it has had a chilling effect, especially on journa

but on the other hand, they sort of want china to leave taiwan alone, and the u. s. has suggested they would defend taiwan militarily in certain circumstances or reports of united states is made clear to china that it would defend taiwan all if all chinese attack is unprovoked. and on the flip side is made, clearly taiwanda will not come to taiwan z dede only if the chinese attack is provoked. so that's the big picture. if things spin out of control, we could potentially be talking about a war between the u. s. and china. it means that when things are tense around taiwan, it's a big deal and things have been getting tense. under president donald trump, the you got a lot cozier with taiwan than previous presidents. and biden's administration has effectively continued in the same direction. ah, over in taiwan, the political climate shift in 2016 when president sign when took over from a pro beijing president. she's been pretty outspoken against beijing. and the question of taiwan status has taken on new significance after people in taiwan saw what china did in hong kon

how and why the u. s . was seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info. and then at the nato meeting in riga, there was a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. as we mentioned, the new wave of tensions come as the u. s. and russian presidents prepare to hold a video call on tuesday, but joe biden seems to be in no mood to negotiate. i of course the diplomacy is out and red lines of that to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of the qu, in key of remember the currency of no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, they're even drawing up the criminal battle plans the new year offens

how and why the u. s. was seeing things that we were not seeing if i have to compare soundbites from before this info. and then at the nato meeting in riga, there was a big shift towards the u. s. version of things. as we mentioned, the new wave of tensions come as the us and russia per and russian presidents prepare to hold a video call on tuesday. joe biden seems to be in no mood to do to negotiate. yes, oh, of course the diplomacy is out and red lines are there to be crossed when the big bad wolf is planning a land grab ring a bell. a similar warning came in the spring when russian troops gathered for snap training exercises. and again, when military drills were conducted in crimea, and only recently moscow was supposedly the mastermind of the qu, in key of remember the corrective no mean either because it didn't happen. in fact, none of the predictions came true, but this time apparently it's different. this time, it's the real deal, and to feed the fair, they're even drawing up the criminal battle pla

both the u. s. and the you had criticized the law after all, americans would have to give up their majority shareholding. it could even lead to a hefty lawsuit on the streets. tens of thousands of balls have been demonstrating to feel that the law, curbs, media freedom and must be withdrawn from the opposition. this is a win visible because the president does not want to sign up to a project with a government in decline. so he wants to preserve good relations with the americans is american army as the president cast as vito he also said that many polish citizens do not want more conflicts. they are already facing rising prices due to inflation and setbacks from the krona virus pandemic. but the media law could be back in parliament to be debated all over again. you're watching g w news. here's a reminder of the top story we're falling for you. new yorkers have been lining up for testing. shots is tough. new corona virus mandates ticket to take effect. and france has announced fresh measures to rein

s. and the u. s. backed political actors at the time that created their crisis, and russia did not invade crimea or sylvester pool. they were there already, and there was a, there was a transition to crimea was reunited with russia and had been separated in 1954. so these nuances never get talked about. and so they think rushes in, violation of all these international laws. and that justifies nato expansion. so if we come to a forum, if we come to a negotiation table, these details should come out. will they though, is this what the u. s. wants do they want to have that conversation? i don't think they do. i don't think their allies do, they want to keep it in the realm of hyperbolic aggressive or drive by comments and accusations. because there, you don't have to have, you know, you really don't have to abide by any international agreements or treaties. you just seem to be reacting to russian aggression. so i think this is a really important point. you know, george is a b, 2 documents set out for

the rhetoric coming from as the u. s. and e u leaders sounds pretty aggressive. we see plenty of fake news about russia, allegedly planning and aggressive invasion, had the same time, no one talks to key image. no, what von ski have against even thinking if a military intervention in the de niro can lugens conflict. and given the complicates of slack ground of us russian relations, it will be a difficult tool for the leaders. now we see that nato demonstrates it's extremely aggressive position. we see mr. salton bugs, rhetoric, when we see the different, you se, there's rhetoric 1st, they all say that they don't accept any red lines. second, they say that nato will do whatever it wants, furred it will do it on whatever territory it once a 4th. all of this is aim to deter russia. we don't like that. we do everything to ensure. oh, interesting issue under previous administrations when at least with something constructive remained in our relations of our countries had reached an agreement though establishing a secure video cool line for the highest level contact. it

he essentially called the u. s. canada and the u. k. military to the front lines war and put out there to do that by, by passing nato veneers. so can you tell us, well, how much of a breach is that light of the red lines lie to me? putin had to find more and then, well, we have heard similar statements from a number of european capitals, including as far as i know, a message from the british military that they were ready to send their troops over . not only those in training, but those in combat units as well. this is something we are obviously very concerned about. this is something we do not like, and it forces us to take some protective measures to defend our interests. ahead of today's call, joe biden, set the tone somewhat by saying he won't accept any red lines from vladimir putin at the same time. the white house says it's not seeking any conflict. allotted stanley hawkins, tell me more about what's at stake. well, the president severely met once in person that was back in summer since then they've had various phone conversati

s. military doctorate. russia is referred to as an adversary. the close of that nato and u. s. troops and tags and missiles moved to russia, the more unpredictable the game gets, which is why putin has said he's red line. nato states commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of nato, including the accession of ukraine, as well as other states. not that nato thinks much of russia's concerns. not long ago, secretary general stockton berg announced that roger has no vito, no sane nato operations and no right to any sort of security. buffalo sphere of influence, which sets us back all the way to square one. at the nip, it is moderate. this is not an attempt to revise the post cold war order. it's a response to western expansion which has been conducted in a hostile manner. be the gist of the proposal that, that the u. s. nato and russia have a requirement for security as essential as food or water that they must all equally respect. nato has received the proposals and says that a little discuss them amongst themselves and with input from ukraine. that there isn't
