the u. s. has been working with all the countries on ways to supply fuel to western europe, nations. if that happens, dominic cane support from berlin. this is the ammo natural gas installation in central russia. one of many such plants is product is pipe to destinations in asia and europe, all of which generates an export revenue of more than $200000000.00 a day for the provide a gas problem. the greatest single market is germany, closely followed by other european countries. cumulatively 128000000000 cubic meters of gas flows to the e u. each year, representing around a 3rd of its annual impulse. but what would happen if the ukraine crisis became more war and all of this was suddenly switched off. it's got it, so i don't have, it could be an interruption of guess. whoever was government should weigh carefully whether they really want that was possible to put europe under pressure would eventually tend to liquid guess some of us talk if liquid gas or l n g is a solution. there are a few of the

the u. s. is sending 2000 soldiers to poland and germany, while another 1000 moved from germany to romania. the current situation demands that we reinforce the deterrent and defensive posture on nato's eastern flank. president biden has been clear that the united states will respond to the growing threat to europe's security and stability. our commitment to nato article 5 and collective defense remains ironclad. the pentagon made it clear that no u. s. soldiers will fight in ukraine. he did ukrainian president volota, mayor zalinski said diplomacy comes 1st but no options are off the table. me. we only think about piece from with we only think about the return of our occupied territories and only through diplomacy, lamentation of shall, isha, bish, we will not give up with a single piece of our land to day yolanda. we will not give up our territories. we needed them no matter what the pricey. yeah, cops, enough. ah, jeez bravo. nicola, despite zelinski is reassurances, others are preparing to d

the u. s. close its embassy and honey, our in 1993. below the last 2 decades, china has been building up its influence in the south pacific emerging as a diplomatic and economic partner to an increasing number of countries. china is also committed to send police advisors to the solomon islands after the riots which devastated the capital last november. the u. s. department says the embassy would start as a small set up in honey hour with 2 employees and about 5 local staff. but it's not just the embassy. there are also plans to reopen an office for the u. s. peace court in the capitol. saturday's announcement is part of president biden strategy in the nearby civic, which aims to build partnerships in the region with its allies to counter china's growing ambitions and influence. non ancient village in spain, which disappeared 30 years ago to create a reservoir is back above dry land. years of drought have uncovered the submerge. and evie winds, which are now notorious attraction we consume, has

well, that is, except for the u. s. in the u. k and no one including the united states actually closed their embassy in moscow. and when i was one of those telling, i think was ukrainian president who continued public comments asking the west please toll down your rhetoric. and instead of warning his own citizens to prepare for this invasion at the time, an exact date that us intelligence leaked, it was going to happen. he told them to enjoy a day of unity. in fact, the country taking the most aggressive steps regarding this invasion was the united states. and as the tradition has gone with this administration, those were mainly in the use of words, a warning of attack threats, a very harsh sanctions, and the promise of more us taxpayer dollars in aid. but even as a russia confirmed troops were being moved, following their completion of the exercises, western media and the president still continue to push this fear of an eminent invasion saying troops are just being shifted and the aren't knighted states is still so competent, an

the u. s. is now set, it wants to pull out it. so a c, e monitors today. the o. s. c monitors and don bassett counted a 400 percent increase in the amount of shelling over the last 7 days. daily average 4 times increasing shelling. here's a scenario. the u. s. has apparently gotten the other countries several other countries to to have to share the panic and to pull their troops or their, their citizens out. if you pull the o s. c e mission, out of don bass, you can have a massive provocation on the part of care of. this is potentially dangerous development. u. s. a sounding increasingly desperate, because everything they throw on the wall doesn't stick. they don't really lose anything. do they? because of russia doesn't invade in russia has said over and over again. it doesn't plan to invade that. what it does want is the united states and nato to give some security guarantees to russia about the use of nate of nato troops or advanced weapons in ukraine. in other words, prohibiting that in the

yeah, and the u. s. has been debasing impose infections, not just of russia, invades ukraine, russia attacks ukraine, but actually over the actions that she already mentioned, the cyber attacks, the sort of, you know, information. the information was the u. s. and the allies have imposed sanctions against russia in the past. and yet we find ourselves here again after the annexation of crime in 2014. how effective have previous sanctions been in deterring russia? well, i wouldn't say they have been very effective. i think that the russian leadership is probably has a long term political goals and it's a building explaining strategy and in order to achieve those goals. so i think it's actually kind of has been general case, the manufacturer and not just against russia, but also other countries such as been you swale and iran, glen actually, you know, the sanctions often do not probably bring it as a defect and sometimes they actually inflict a lot of suffering under populations. so the sanction found a too

the u. s. allies have doubled down the thresh sanctions. the ukraine stands off. it's a took the daughter to of the past decade or so it bought. do such punishment really bite and what to stake? also this week, as tension between russia and the west escalades over ukraine, european energy supplies in the crosshairs. the continent must diversified resources away from moscow who could fill the gap. a new terrace weapon against the us, the war trade organization authorizes china to retaliate against millions worth of an american export. washington says the ruling undermine fame, market competition for the build up of russian troops along ukraine, water has kept moscow's rivals on edge wandering. what? let me, prudence next move is russia's president says he doesn't intend to invade ukraine. leaders in western capital say he might attack and one of the high prize if he does order troops in the u. k. the european union and the u. s. have previously imposed russian sanctions and more are expected if

and the u. s. is special relationship to evolve. turns out they've got a lot more in common than they thought, because biden would much rather talk about ukraine in the context of russian aggression than in the context of laptops, cocaine, nepotism, and abuse of power. and boris, while boasting comes a lot easier to bow than apologizing for a legal booze ups at number 10. i think if you look at what we've been doing for the last 2 or 3 months, the u. k has be way out in front, in making sure that people are respond. yes, the ukraine crisis has been kind to them both heaping as spiraling ratings in the shadows. what did they say? never let a good crisis go to waste false flag or knobs the u. s national security agency has been breaking its own rules to spy on americans. according to the organizations own internal watchdog. in a report released on monday, the inspector general found that the essay had abused they controversal law. the foreign intelligence surveillance act allows the government to int

s. rose to a record high, very politically sensitive issue in the u. s. is there risk to the economy? there is chelsea and it is pretty mind blowing. number again, if you look at the full year of 2021, we actually saw the trade budget blow up or, or expand by about to 27 percent. i mean, that is a huge increase from one year to another. and if you import more and more and you don't export much more, usually that is all can be a direct on economic growth in the united states. i mean, clearly the good message is obviously the american or the u. s. economy is doing better than other call me around the globe. so that's why imports are increasing and exports not so much, but in the longer run, if you run a huge decade said, usually that is a direct on economic growth of a country like the united states. and i just want to ask you briefly, there is a big story breaking out of the u. s. a record seizure of crypto currencies that were sold in and a hack. what more can you tell us about this? yeah, well it's a new york couple and obviously they sort of, if i got t

as you mentioned, it's india, u. s. japan. and it's been hosted by strategy that se, defense minister at maurice or foreign minister, i should say, embrace pine the they're offering. basically i an alternative to what china is offering with regards to regional order. the u. s. often uses the term affirmative . that will be offering a vision that's free and inclusive on the other issue that when it will inevitably be res, that so he rushes military build up on the cranium border. it's not an indirect pacific issue, but of course it's a global issue and that will be discussed. but the main goal of this initiative run by called the pharmacist from these full countries is to show up they end up pacific partnerships and pushback on china. oh, so and his reaction been to this strategic partnership. china's been long time critical, the initiative it's described, i saw this pact and they strategic declarations is inflammatory and raising tensions are in the area. of course, i, analysts always note that china simply doesn't want a grou

s. a. however, the u. s, it says that it is almost impossible regarding the american political system. but when it comes to the what if occasions they say that they can give some of the guarantees. so in this sense, that the partial removal of the sanctions from the u. s. a is quite a practical stat and it is welcomed in, in, in, in the usa store for that hasn't been direct was between the iranians and the americans. and the minister of iran of july and said that if the practical actions are taken down, there might be a direct talks between the 2 parties. and this a step is a kind of practical action that cool a paved away for data tours between americans and iranians. mark fitzpatrick is an associate fellow the international institute for strategic studies. he explained that the change will help iran to continue its nuclear power and nuclear medicine programs. the idea is to make sure that these programs are safe and that they will not be used for weapons purposes to do that for and companies foreign gove

where the u. s. is warning chinese firms against helping russia against possible sanctions over ukraine. but if chinese companies did step into help, is there anything washington could do to stop them? well, the, i don't know, we nurse, in many of the us engines already be putting in place. people spend more money with choices of products and more people die independent to get their strongest nations do not work together for the common good of the world. infective us has failed miserably in trade with china, china's tre surface has rising to a historic height achieved ever by any countries in history last year. and we've recently price chinese goods that inflation in us has rich new height in decades. so there are less and less more the u. s. can make if the u. s. is now not as cheap in goods sporting ship, but no, the u. s. has fell. many of the computers are promised support overnight for whatever countries, not all the court interests of the us. so i think we need good sportsmanship back into inte

we know that the u. s. military, the u. s. officials actually coordinated with the turkeys side, informing them about the counter terrorism operation that there will be conducting . so turks were also aware of where of the operation, but we don't know any information whether the turks or any turkish drones in terms of a reconnaissance were in world or during this operation. what is interesting for the turkey side as that, or the, or the location over bo elk ratio? how's, was this between 2 and 3 to 5 kilometers a deep from date air triggers syria border from or on. tak yes, city air of turkey and air about our dear. the former leader of iso, again, was killed through such as a similar operation by the united states. special forces in 2019 and that location was also close to the turkish border. so, so far we don't have any statements by the turkish side. any official statements are suggesting that they were away from aware of this operation. but many experts on the turkish national televisions have already started to discuss

just because the u. s. has been able to or has claimed to have targeted and been able to kill this particular individual. that doesn't necessarily mean that there's going to be a knock on effect or a ripple effect across isolate self doesn't well, you are absolutely right. it's a, it's a fragmented organization that has many tentacles, so even if the head is taken out, there are many commanders underneath that will still be able to not only carry out the logistics, but also the ideology. and so the united states may feel that it is one, some sort of tactical victory, but the ideological victory in many ways may be harder to fight. as a result, in many ways, sometimes the, this only intensifies of fighters determination to press on even more. and so this is often something that the west doesn't understand, and this is certainly going to complicate matters further for the united states. we should point out for a united states military, that is a battle weary has been through a generation of war in afghanistan
