a terry, the biden. white house seems to believe at this point that outright conflict is where we're headed. are they sharing the intelligence behind their thinking with nato allies? they are nic as they have done throughout this crisis last night. nato ambassadors met in a 7 p. m. session. here in brussels, a pretty unusual timing, but obviously the information was urgent. and what we saw coming out of this meeting was definitely evidence that allies see the u. s. assessments as credible because we saw a change in their postures on the safety of their own citizens. in ukraine, up until now european governments and the european union as a whole, have been very reluctant to follow the u. s. in advising citizens to get out of ukraine because of the danger that you said openly, that it feels this imposes to higher price on ukraine, on its economy, and on the well being of it, of ukrainian citizens there who would be left behind. but now after this meeting, we saw a country by country european government, by

but we just lost terry there. unfortunately, she was just giving us the latest from brussels on that press conference for nato secretary general in stoughton book. some interesting words there from the secretary general saying that her democracy will always be something that they will protect as an organization that all of its allies, that all of its allies will work in a kinda in conjunction with each other. that piece to day has been shattered by the movements made by russia. unfortunately, it's a horrible situation that we've got to report to you today. i'm but let's try going back to brussels, where terry is standing by and see if that line is back up. um, it's a very oh, very fluid situation right now and nobody's telling me what's going on. so i'll try to keep you in the picture as best i can. she is back, terry? good to have you there. i'm sorry we were talking about whether or not ne, who can make a difference, given that it's ruled out it's forces getting directly involved in you. you can, can you explain

that is a terri sholtes in brussels. many thanks to her that was the picture here in europe across the atlantic. u. s. president and joe biden convened a meeting of his national security council. washington had already slapped sanctions on russian banks and oligarchs. now, after the attack, even heavy penalties were on the way. who is the aggressor poon chose this war, and now he and his country will bear the consequences. 4 months we've been building a coalition of partners representing well, more than half the global economy. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars, euros, pounds, and yen to be part of the global economy. let me say it again.

what do you think terry? your you, your so you, your, i can see you are, i'm busy linds about that statement. yeah. to so being on exactly what you know, what you're, what you're thinking there. no, i think i think it's true. this isn't going to affect anything perhaps. so immediately on the ground, although certainly it will be welcomed that now germany will both directly send weapons to help you crane and allow other countries to do so. i mean, that can make an immediate difference. and it doesn't speak to whether ukraine has a possibility to actually win this militarily. but, you know, president putin had quite a bit of success in germany in dividing public opinion about about what the country should do. i mean, that's not even get into your heart schroeder's role there, but you know that they're there. what, there is a division of opinion, but what a love schultz did yesterday was say, as a country we are devoting ourselves to nato. we are devoting a lot more money to nato by far the largest economy in eu

i'm joined now from brussels by our nato, corresponded terry shult. terri, though, bitin whitehouse seems to believe at this point that outright conflict is where this crisis is likely heading. or they sharing the intelligence behind their thinking with the nato alex, they are michael. the vitamin ministration has been very careful throughout this crisis to bring allies along. i'm to make certain that no, when considered this, like the trump administration, where things were taken, decisions were taken without the european and nato allies. so what we saw last night was nato ambassadors called into a special meeting at 7 p. m. to learn more about this intelligence that was coming out of washington. and, and then michael, we saw something quite alarming to, to me because this is something we had not seen european governments do. and that is that they started advising their citizens to leave. the european union had said specifically in european governments individually, that they did not see a reason to do that at this point than yesterday. we saw country by country this advice coming out ju

yeah, and terry one more question on that meeting tomorrow. we've heard that done non nato members, finland and sweden will be present. also at that meeting, tell us about the significance of that. we know that you were also reporting in sweden, about the perceived threat of russian aggressions. right? that's right, those finland and sweden have were extremely offended by president putin's threat to them that they should not even think about joining nato. these are 2 countries that actually don't want to join nato at the time and for decades. have been against it. but being told that they would not have the right to do so as something neither of them would stand for. so they'd come out very strongly against moscow making statements like that. it's very important for them to be at this meeting. and the you leaders will be there as well. so as i said before, a very united front here in brussels and somewhere you know, they, they want to make sure that standing on virtually as it will be. but standing allied alongside the americans, the fins, the

known as john doe number two, the description did not fit either terry nichols or michael fortier. investigators concluded that john doe number two never existed. >> we found a gentleman that had been in there that generally fit the description of john doe number two, but it turned out it had been on a different day. he'd been in there with a friend that had rented a ryder truck. so we now realize it was a misidentification of people transposing two different events and putting two different occurrences together. >> mcveigh swore to us over and over again that there was no john doe number two. no one was with him on the day of the bombing. >> the biggest misconception out there about the oklahoma city bombing, in my view, is this is something that sprang from the brain of timothy mcveigh, was masterminded by timothy mcveigh and substantially carried out by timothy mcveigh with a little bit of help from terry nichols. >> if there were other people involved with the bombing, who were they? some believe there may have been a connection between mcveigh and elohim city, a so-called chri

thanks very much terry. and for the latest developments in the ukraine, i am now joined by dw corresponded mathias veronica in key of mathias for days. now the u. s. has been sounding the alarm that a russian invasion of ukraine could begin at any time, including during or immediately following the beijing winter olympics. what's been the reaction to this warning in the capital? well, as you can imagine, people are taking this seriously. people are very worried about their future developments. i'm the people also very worried about the western allies are, are ramping up the situation or somehow adding fuel to the fire. but the overwhelming feeling is that there is something might really be happening and people are getting prepared to it. we've also heard from official sources that the a territorial defense forces. these volunteer brigades have recruited a lot of new members. many people have made the decision to join them. there is some kind of resolve to resist within parts of the population. and also the g

we go now to brussels in our nato correspondent terry schultz. as promised earlier, terry, germany now withdrawing embassy staff and citizens are following a similar action by the united states are highly reactive. that is something that other nato allies are likely to follow to think. other nato allies have actually preceded germany in doing this, a germany is, is not among the 1st as a, as i mentioned earlier, the european union had resisted doing this for fear of seeming to alarmist him for harming the ukrainian economy and, and sort of the sense of, of safety of ukrainians themselves. but yesterday, as word of the new u. s. military assessments came out, you started seeing one by one european governments, nato allies. norway was the 1st one i noticed, and then the netherlands, and then the u. k. and then lat, via, than denmark, they started really increasing. and then after this meeting of, of nato allies last night, where the u. s. a shared it's its latest military assessment. you saw even more announcements come out last night. and today, n

terry, let's get real phenomena. it's sanctions are one thing, but they're likely not going to make a bit of difference over the next 48 hours on the ground. right now, it looks to the world that ukraine has to fight its way out of this on its own. so what sort of help can you offer you credit it's very difficult to see what help you can offer ukraine at the moment if you're talking about simply trying to preserve the country sovereignty and its independence. ukraine is in a battle for its life right now. in fact, michael, i've just come out of an intelligence briefing with a western official that says that we may see the capital of keep falling within, you know, within less than a day. so you know, when you're talking about possible economic assistance development aid, those kinds of things may ring a bit hollow now to ukrainians, really trying to fight to preserve their country. let's take a listen to the german chancellor, olaf sholtes earlier tonight. blunt rushes, president putin has decided to attack ukraine. m

schultz joins us live a terry. what can we expect from the virtual native summit that is taking place today? hi. well, i think everyone is trying to show a sign of unity against this invasion that happened despite the most powerful countries in the world, warning that it should not. and so after the european union leaders met last night, it was important to bring the united states into the equation, and that's done here at nato. so you'll see the 30 leaders come out with a joint statement, of course, demanding that russia stop its invasion of ukraine, threatening that to make it pay a high price. but at the moment, you know, they're going to be sending reinforcements to their own border. but the sad thing is they really can't do a lot at the moment to help you crane their tornado troops. they've been sent to support the security of nato members in eastern europe. but are these troops going to be staying there for longer? i that's certainly unknown at this moment. what nato likes to remind moscow is that those troop

it absolutely is a terry in a way that many thought was unthinkable. in fact, some experts have gone as far as to say that even moscow didn't budget for the level of unity and coordination that we've seen in the european union from the onset when those initial reports emerged off, those russian troops amassing at the border. of course, you had some member states, a different views about whether or not an invasion was imminent, but there was always the underlying agreement that, that any aggression towards ukraine was not right. it was collectively condemned. and we've seen decisive action following that, of course, because of the different conflicts of interest in terms of how the sanctions have been rolled out, et cetera. member states have had different views, different ideas, but for the most part, if you take into consideration that any decision that the european union takes has to have unanimous agreement. and they have come out with some of the most strongest sanctions that we have seen. the brock impose in his history so that naval coordination,

what do you think terry? your you, your so you, your, i can see you are, i'm busy linds about that statement. yeah. to, so being on exactly what you know, what you're, what you're thinking, you know, i think, i think it's true. this isn't going to affect anything perhaps. so immediately on the ground, although certainly it will be welcomed that now germany will both directly send weapons to help you crane and allow other countries to do so. i mean, that can make an immediate difference. it doesn't speak to whether ukraine has a possibility to actually win this militarily. but, you know, president putin had quite a bit of success in germany in dividing public opinion about about what the country should do. i mean, that's not even get into your heart schroeder's role there, but you know, there, there were, there is a division of opinion, but what a love schultz did yesterday was say, as a country we are devoting ourselves to nato. we are devoting a lot more money to nato by far the largest economy in europe. if

it's like it's a war terry, how is that? how is know to likely to, to respond to that kind of talk that we've now got the, the large numbers of tanks moving pope perhaps towards care for the, and a really serious threat of, of an aggravation of the tensions and the conflict. he just to return to the issue of diplomacy. i asked secretary general suttonberg directly. will you still talk to vladimir putin after this invasion? and he did not say that he was revoking his invitation to talk to the russians any time i think that they're going to leave open the option, the only reasonable option for ending the conflict of dialogue. and you'll also note that the european union in the sanctions, it placed directly on president putin and on foreign minister lab rav. it did not impose a trouble ban on them because they want them to be able to come and talk. they want people to be able to go and talk to them. nobody thinks that there's a military solution to this crisis, and that's still the predominant line. but i think you have nato al

terry: it is of two levels. i don't struggle to believe it is about a fintech company when you've got the circumstances around that that there are, when miss bloom raskin says she doesn't recall the interaction with the federal reserve. that strained some credulity in the eyes of some people, including the "wall street journal" editorial page which has been hammering this for a while. but there are larger problems here, ranging from looking like you are the proxy for a lot of green new deal work to concerns about esg, all kinds of concerns that the fed might be going beyond its mandate by approving some of these people. that is not a small thing in the senate because remember, the fed exercises congressional power -- excuse me, congress sets the fed's mandate, the dual mandate which exists by law. so the idea that they would be appointing potentially bunch of people that are prepared to go beyond that and stretch that is of deeper concern then i think most people understand. kailey: talking of the fed and the mo

ah, hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. german chancellor, olive shops is on his way to the united states. heats is, talks with president joe biden are set to be dominated by one topic, the threat of russian invasion of ukraine. his visit comes as more us troops arrive in poland to strengthen nato's presence in eastern europe, amid the ukraine crisis. soldiers and vehicles touched down near the shush hope close to poland border with ukraine. the intent provide nato members with protection from potential russian aggression. washington says moscow has station around 70 per cent of the troops. it would need to invade on ukraine's border. the kremlin insists this is not flat, it is not planning and evasion. the w's mark just well, of schultz has come under fire for not taking a harder stance towards russia's build up on the border with ukraine. critics, a sholtes is being too tight lipped over the worsening crisis, which they say is undermining efforts to deter russia from an incursion in washington. h

that's terry terry schultz in brussels at nato headquarters. has talked to, to me through months at auction, who's a research associate for eastern europe, the german institute for international and security affairs, which i think talked in berlin. welcome to d. w. do you expect this to stop with the invasion of ukraine? ah, good evening. i don't think that this is going to stop or the invasion of ukraine based on, on what president fulton has said earlier when he announced the, the invasion of it. it seems that the objectives are wider and it seems that ukraine is just an element of the russian strategic architecture. the way they view is that it has to be stablished in europe because they are talking about continue to talk about the security guard entities that russia demanded about making ukraine notarized and not allow leads to get closer to nita countries. so i believe in my assessment that this is just the 1st step in the a wider strategic content that the russian government has. you mentioned these security guarantees that russia has ask
