the british foreign office seems confused. i've been under russian sanctions since 2018 due to a conflict with victrum advert shook. my family's assets are frozen. there had the united kingdom secret services and foreign office can square that with russia supposedly wanting to make me the head of an occupation government. that's the question for mr. bean. london's not just spreading questionable stories about modern ukraine though the day before the story broke and added to the hysteria of russian invasion fantasies. the u. k. foreign secretary liz trust gave a speech praising ukraine for its resilience against invasions of the past. we urge president painted to desist and step back from ukraine before he makes a massive strategic mistake. ukraine is a proud country with a long history. they have known invading forces before from the mongols to the tosses. unfortunately for trust though, she also demonstrated a lack of understanding of the regions history. the mon goals and todd hers were one in the same invasion force, often

we see this not today with, with the german foreign minister. i'm talking with the ukranian count about that when discussions between american and russian and ukrainian officials, other nato allies have engaged and ukraine as well. so they have a certain ongoing consultation process with ukraine. of course, unfortunately there's a certain perception that you're right to point out that that discussion, so happening over the heads of ukrainians. there's also some perceptions and in germany and other parts of europe, that discussions between the us and russia happening over the heads of europeans, particularly support l. u, so called foreign minister, was quite unhappy to, to, to notice that, that fact that you're not playing any sort of meaningful role. i think the worries are, are been overplayed here because russia is engaging mostly with the united states. it sees itself as a, as a peer up the united states and wants to be seen for prestige reasons as appear. it's nuclear off and also me plays a role here. and not, it's not, it's not, you know,

and what we saw the day we had the german foreign minister in moscow. we had the new german chancellor at nato headquarters b. these are, this is the highest ranking you can get from germany dealing with a crisis of this level. are we getting the same message here that's coming from this new government? i mean, is germany going to walk the walk and not just talk the talk when it comes to punishing russia? if an invasion of ukraine takes place? we see the partners certainly not quite last week. no round the same message, i think for the longest time, all i've chose, jeremy's transfer was reluctant to put not 32 on the table as a deterrent towards where your aggression in aggression against ukraine. back in december he said that offering to was a private sector project. he didn't have any political geopolitical relevance today, and his oppressor, with what control broke his head that everything would be up for discussion. if, if russia attacked ukraine, that's a message at the greens and the f t p. the 2 other question partners of germany's new corps and

the foreign minister, they're calling them on acceptable. but this is just the latest issue that we've seen very recently between kiev and berlin just last week. there were problems over the fact that burly doesn't want to send weapons into ukraine. also, germany has blocked the sale of a stony and weapons that were german made to ukraine. this issue concerning the now former navy chief, just the latest, and was becoming a growing number of problems. when we spoke to journalist and author, thomas foss bend, who shared his views about the german vice admiral's comment from crimea. of course, the year, the leadership, the john political leadership and the media are concerned about the fact that within the rank and file of the government, of the army and among the population, there is this common sense understanding that crimea will remain within russia and that there is there is this common understanding that whatever mister put in did over the last 20 years, or whether it's against us or, or for us, whether we like it or not in the man, deser

what about ukraine's foreign minister expressing outrage over berlin? distinct thing itself from nato supply of lethal weapons to keep the german leadership saying that it didn't. it might be counterproductive, whereas there are other nato countries who are sending lethal weapons. well, of course it's got to do with germany's past with the law at the strong pacifist same line of thought or philosophy that has characterized german for lots of politics for decades. but there is an intense conflict going on within germany. whether for the sake of avoiding war in, in ukraine, germany has to deliver weapons to ukraine. so is this one position. there is the opposite position that we should refrain from doing that? the ukraine minister has, of course, all reasons of the world. i mean, he wants he wants and he's got west and support any weapon delivery will help him. and if not today, because of a lack of attack from, from any side from russia, it may be tomorrow after tomorrow, due to reconquer rebel hold territories or even crimea. when you, when you look at

we heard that the yet bush nested me was that foreign minister against a simplified procedure for getting russian citizenship abroad. i know this is not the case because you made an active contribution to simplifying their citizenship grant, where she granting kind of dumb enough to do that. you know who's that i shared. so when our attitude gods evie change, when are we going to get our population bag in accordance with the ethnic principle? and when are we going to save and protect those citizens who found themselves abroad, even though they didn't want the country to collapse? there are many, blaze to this question or using a good me bold. and there are some shoes with allies and c, as in his sister. of course, there are problems and no one tries to hide them. and those problems are linked to the fact that new in the been countries that used to form part of the soviet union. and the really also made part of the russian empire we before the soviet union for the 1st time in history, they also had a chance to create their own countries summer and their own national states. national. i wou

that's going to be the message we understand from e foreign ministers. we don't know exactly what those sanctions would be. it could be anything from a visa, benz, an assets being frozen of top russian officials to for example, a russia being cut out of certain banking systems. now later in the day, the u. s. secretary of state and sampling can, will also join this meeting by video conference. he will be updating you foreign ministers on the meeting that he had on friday in geneva with his russian counterpart, sergey alive, ross. that was a meeting that ended without any major diplomatic breakthrough, but there was an agreement between the 2 men to continue with talks. it will certainly be though a very welcome assign for the e foreign ministers that a blinking is taking part in this meeting. because the you had felt for some time that european officials are being kept aside or sidelines from the recent a diplomatic push. if you light by the us, they will certainly feel very happy. the blinking is part of this meeting and we understand that the e u. s an

russia's foreign ministry is leaving the door open for diplomatic progress on secondary issues but says its top concern has been ignored. >> the main issue is our clear position on the inadmissibility of nato's further expansion to the east and the women of strike weapons that could territory -- the deployment of strike weapons that could threaten the territory. ask for the u.s. and its allies, banning ukraine on the western military alliance is out of the question. washington is however putting other options on the negotiating table, including more transparency in its operations, limiting exercises and limits in europe, and a potential new arms control treaty. wednesday meanwhile brought a return to normandy format negotiations between ukraine and russia brokered by france and germany. little progress made apart from continuing to respect a cease-fire in the pro-russian breakaway region of don best -- of donbass. nothing has changed. this is the bad news. the good news is that advisors have agreed to meet in two weeks, which means for at least the next two weeks, russia is likely to ma

t foreign policy. the as a commissioner, jo separate burrell, who said that as it stood at the moment, there was no intention for you embassies to do the same just yet. i don't think we had it on my pledge as far as the negotiation going on sunday and going on. i don't think that we had less rain and i leave. they're all split among the nato allies when it comes to what to do with nato. when it comes to what to do with regards to russia and ukraine, we've seen a lot of pressure placed upon germany where the chancellor all f schultz has said that berlin won't be sending weaponry to ukraine. now, neighbors such as add those in the baltic states have been saying they should be stepping up and doing a lot more all f sholtes remaining firm on this one saying they won't be offensive weapon re sent from germany. what he has said though, is that should that be an invasion of ukraine, that there would be serious consequences of from nancy's also said that journey will continue to send medical aid to ukraine. it

u foreign ministers meeting in brussels. if there's any new information from there, i'll bring it to here. a naughty of russia have vowed a response to the latest surgeon nato activity and is conducting its own naval exercise in the baltic sea involving up to $140.00 warships. a former foreign minister of india gave us his views on the crisis in ukraine. thomas about things. europe is not in control of its own fates. right now is the us, is that the wheel? i think this is playing with the goal question, is the expansion of nato? do you agree? and if that problem is evolved, everything else falls in place and i am always surprised why didn't learn and sweden would remain out of natal during the whole war. when the soviet union, very strong and is said, was the front or the world and continue to be outside the door. why can't there be an understanding around ukraine? why is the west, especially the united states pushing? for grant's membership of natal knife on this, there can be a fundamental in understanding. then i think th

we saw it today, the new foreign minister in moscow. the new german chancellor, hosting the head of nato, their messages solidarity with key up in unity for washington, for europe's largest economy. these are promises that could be expensive to keep. i, bird, golf, and berlin. this is the day ah, next nottingham, the command, the last few weeks more than 100000 russian soldiers have gathered nearly ukrainian ladonna obese, needed. we cannot accept any demands regarding the actions of our own armed forces on our own land, nato allies, colon or shot to de escalate. it is difficult not to interpret this as a threat because we don't threaten anybody with anything, but we do have a threats address to us so that us on and the federation will come with a high cost for moscow. the german government did not to the situation. he doesn't have it, but it cannot and will not acknowledge the pregnant bad. yeah, i think i've been thinking also coming up china's policy of 0 cove and apparently now includes getting rid of a pet or 2 in hong kong. the or

the world's investors are increasingly turning to china. beijing says foreign direct investment into its economy jumped by almost 15 percent last year, topping $180000000000.00, but 2020 to another. rise is also expected, not least because china took another small step on january, the 1st loosening foreign investment restrictions in the auto sector. however, curves do remain in many sectors. let's discuss this further with jacob gunter, who's china, economic policy, unless that lima cater institute for china studies, or merrick. thanks a lot for joining us on the to be your business. can you just explain to us why we are seeing more overseas companies investing in china? yeah, thanks for having me on. i think there are 3 main reasons why we're seeing this. the 1st is just from a basic portfolio perspective. companies are going to put money where they're seeing a good return on their investment and trying to handling the pandemic. and how that allows trying to sort of, you know, remain economically quite strong overall compared to the rest of the world. meant from portfolio perspectiv

out of the foreign contribution resolution act. it's actually regulates for funding into the country. ah, most of the guy and be an art told by the ministry on record, on the board of about any reason. see, for example, mission of ease of charity. why, if the i was not renewed and the ministry came up with a statement that you do some security inputs. now these are very weak terms. if you are blocking the license or registration of an injury which has been working for for decades in a country, you ought to give cogent reasons explaining what it was. security, the reports that you have, phone. so sometimes of these regulations they're also used to how does and years which are critical, not the government on the job express, which is balance please speech. and because not many people would want to depend on court rates on government funding for their well because they want to stay independent. so that is the who knew that this act because it just gives an explanation. it is very, it is, it is, i believe i did on the part of the state

spain's foreign minister doesn't agree. >> [speaking in foreign language] >> [translating] i don't have any record of djokovic's entry to spain, and the australian government hasn't contacted us to request those documents. >> djokovic, who has since confirmed he is notaccinated, has claimed that tennis australia filled out the paperwork on his behalf. the visa saga has caused outrage with many feeling he has been given special treatment in a country with some of the strongest restrictions in the world. the australian begins january 17. if able to begin -- defend his title, djokovic could become the most successful men's player in history. >> the latest on the africa cup of nations. we speak to our sports editor, simon harding. bring us up to speed on some of the games today. why don't we start by talking about the nigeria-egypt game? >> a deserved victory for the super eagles against the pharaohs. nigeria completely dominated the seven-time winners of the africa cup of nations. the man from leicester scoring the only goal, a beautiful goal, half volley. absolutely stunning goal, worthy

more than 4500 of our 10,000 person workforce are foreign nationals. in guatemala, that's watermelons. in vietnam, it's vietnamese. with covid, people in different places aren't even working at the embassy, but even if they are working at an embassy that is post-benghazi, less accessible that once was, there going home, they are in the communities, they are eyes and ears. that's an advantage usaid has retained, the line with this talent and expertise. some of these individuals are working administrative roles, but they are often phd's and land-use and microbiology, long time technocrats on elections and how they should be managed. there is real expertise and that ability of living in the communities and living -- getting out and about, for them come also to be ambassadors for this agenda will be very important. loosening these strictures and being in a position for all of our staff to be out and about, the empowerment and elevation of those perspectives will be very helpful in this regard. >> we could go on all day and i would love to do that, but admi

the foreign minister there calling them on acceptable. but this is just the latest issue that we've seen very recently between kiev and berlin. just last week. there were problems over the fact that berlin doesn't want to send weapons into ukraine. also, germany has blocked the sale of stoney and weapons that were german made to ukraine . this su concerning the now former navy chief, just the latest and was becoming a growing number of problems. we spoke to john list and also thomas fast spend just a short time ago here on this sunday program, he told us what he thinks about the german vice our roles views on crimea. of course the, the leadership, the jump, political leadership and the media are concerned about the fact that within the rank and file of the government, of the army and among the population. there is this common sense understanding that crimea will remain within russia and that there is, there is this common understanding that whatever mister put in did over the last 20 years, whether it's against us so far as whether we lik

the label, foreign agent, not only does have advertisements, but also thought of and contributed. however, it doesn't appear to have put off medusa. as audience. donations from a 100000 readers have kept the outlet afloat. for now, there's only english election to do that. i'd say our audience even got slightly bigger because everyone was suddenly interested in how this russian fought an agent . twice this repression made, people have compassion for us. and we had a successful crowd funding campaign. if this whole story of enemies of the people, foreign agents, and undesirable organizations had been put in motion 5 years ago, when people still trusted the government, it would have had an effect. but now i think it's very limited. unfortunately, shalise, blue ballads, russian news consumers with the choice journalism produced by what the kremlin fif of loyal patriot or that produced by traitor. the foreign agent law 1st adopted in 2012 and expanded federal type thing is being used against almost anyone to receive money from abroad and both a political opinion. ah, but many of the c

we can't have foreigners occupying our great country. correspondent: the occupiers must leave iraq, they have harmed us all. the u.s. withdrawal could provide iran with an opening and embolden i.s., so washington is replacing combat troops with military advisors. many believe the american presence in iraq will barely change. anchor: as we approach the end of the year, let us look back at one of our more remarkable stories of 2020 one from france, where authorities publish the devastating report on sexual abuse in the catholic church. that report revealed that 216,000 children have been sexually abused by members of the clergy in france since the 1950's. dw spoke with one victim who says he does not have faith in the church to make the necessary changes. correspondent: as a small boy, he used to be full of joy. until the age of 10, when he was sexually molested by a local priest. >> [speaking foreign language] translator: after this, i completely failed at school. i fell out with my parents. at the age of 14, i tried to commit suicide. i
