and what is sherman's talked about today, because i said the russian responsibility is to prove that it is that they are not going to escalate the situation that term and said that it is russia's responsibility at the more that's the story is described as we are a witnessing now, and especially folks, and you said sherman, that russia is not going to attack, how will you approve it? because you say there is no trap from you to the american. so americans don't trust russia either and questioned out around there were some rumors that there could be some agreements regarding the iranian nuclear program. so some sanctions can believe to the by the us from we ran can you with a confirmed that some progress has been made in this regard? they are but they know what process i will start from the last question to go. what are the talking in vienna earlyhood, so they are going to chance and we're seeing the chance achieve the job to find an agreement applying to. and what about the, what is, what do you present lucia within the framework? the address around of what happened before 6 rounds, be

and according to wendy sherman, the had of the you asked delegation here at the main goal of the meeting today was to sit together for each side to voice their concerns and to listen to each other that. and that is what happened. she is cried the talks as frank and forthright and so difficult, and that is, was the hat of the russian delegation. ca recall also said about to the talks, but let's have a listen to what he had to say. but which one? yeah, you would actually be to go to negotiations around russia. security proposal. you guys are very difficult. go, wearable slaughter mill. long. do you very professional watching, but if you, sir, man, deep, good boykin and concrete. concordia ma'am beers, without any attempts to gloss over or avoid any difficult points about you got either or through glee, we were left with the impression that the american side will take on russia's proposal or very seriously not wishing to use them. but ashleigh crashes can put it loving him so significant in short but possessions. alexandra remain entrenched. yes, he writes, leila, and the problem is that th

s. deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman said the talks couldn't be considered negotiations under current terms and that russia must deescalate. now, if moscow wants to keep talking, russia has been massing soldiers near the ukranian border for weeks, causing concern for russia. denies any intention to attack russia's deputy foreign minister called the talks professional. but he says moscow remains firm on a central point to we on the score that for us is absolutely mandatory to make sure that the ukraine never, never, ever, becomes a member of nato. and the answer to that from brussels. the door to nato remains open for ukraine due to memorial renew. it is for ukraine on the 3rd to nato allies, to decide when ukraine is ready for membership. no one else has and there are 2 same thing. multiple experts suspect that for rushes, president putin. the uncompromising wrangling in geneva is about more than ukraine, if staggered us, i think in the end what he can get is a process which could take longer and could work towards negotiating a new european security order, and one of an annoy

now, this is a situation where sherman says, the u. s. is very steadfast, that it is opposed to an invasion of ukraine, although it was not specifically discussed at monday's meeting. she did say that the u. s. is trying to find a way to resurrect the intermediate term missile a treaty, that the u. s. and others say that the russians have a broken by stationing on min medium range missiles around its territory aimed at western europe. been. she also said that one thing is not going to change the idea that nato is not going to open its membership to countries that want to be members . she said that would be infringing on those countries right? to decide how to conduct their foreign policy. she did say there's a lot of work to do, but this is just the beginning and whether the russians are trying to basically create a situation to justify an invasion of ukraine. she said, well, we'll just have to see what they're actually doing yet just to focus on that more rosalind. i mean, as you said, no talk or other countries joining nato. of course,

you mentioned that no break through so far on any issues and to talk seem to be very difficult, wendy sherman, they had of the you asked the location you just mentioned that described than and as frank and forthright and sir, at the head of the russian, a delegation figured cough was also talking about very deep and professional, but also very difficult discussions. nearly 8 hours of talks, but positions alexander still remain entrenched. well, you right layla, we don't have any indication that either you as or russia would be willing to compromise on the one of the main issues here. and i have found it quite interesting that sir, the russian deputy foreign minister of coff made it to clear that russia is not thinking about breaking down on their demands. and they were described by the u. s . assa absolutely nonstarter demands. the russians are saying that it is imperative for nato to rule out that ukraine can ever become a member of the alliance. there are saying that nature has to pull out its troops from eastern europe thumb, the former soviet republics. there that are now independent stat

this is a situation where sherman says the u.s. is steadfast that it is opposed to an invasion of ukraine, although it was not specifically discussed at the meeting. she did say the u.s. is trying to find a way to resurrect the intermediate missile treaty that the u.s. and others say the russians have broken by stationing medium-range missiles around its territory aimed at western europe. she also said that one thing is not going to change, the idea that nato is not going to open its membership to countries that want to be members. she said that would be infringing on those countries right to decide how to conduct their foreign policy. she said there is a lot of work to do, but this is just the beginning. whether the russians are trying to basically create a situation to justify an invasion of ukraine, she said we will have to see what they are actually doing. >> kimberly martin is professor of political science at bernard college. she says it is good that the sides are talking, but these meetings may not mean much to lowering tens

not nita went out nato, wendy sherman speaking. there, nato was scheduled to have its own sit down with russia this coming wednesday here to expectations are low and the talks will take place without ukraine at the table . now, the fact that the kremlin insists on bilateral talks with the biden administration 1st. and then 2nd talks with nato. it does not help the situation today. ukraine's deputy prime minister made it clear on which side of the g o strategic divide. they want to be the your atlantic integration is enshrined in our constitution and supported by the majority of ukrainian citizens. it's not a subject to negotiation. a bargaining aggressor is not in a position to put conditions until the russian tanks is out of ukrainian border while at the border, ukrainian soldiers have literally dug in their positions with russian troops just kilometers away. and take a look at this. this is recent footage from the don't ask region, the frontline of ukraine's 8 year conflict with pro russian separatist in these muddy trenches. the

but you've seen just this enormous outreach to the europeans by wendy sherman and by other us officials to keep talking to the europeans. right up until the last minute they walked into those bilateral talks. then wendy sherman came to brussels yesterday and spent all day debriefing. nato allies, debriefing european union officials meeting with the top leadership in the e. u, as well as in nato, even before heading into these nato. russia talks now. so the u. s. is definitely trying to keep true to its word that it won't discuss anything about europe without europe, anything about ukraine without ukraine. we just had 4 years of the trump administration, wanting to disengage with nato getting if you will, show me with russia the have that left in the permanent scars, that data i think it has. and just this, this outreach, i mean honestly, almost too much outreach. it sometimes seemed like you know, more than 100 meetings or something like this. this is partly a legacy of the trumpet ministration, where the europeans had no clue from day to day, except by looking at twitter, what the u. s

s. diplomat, wendy sherman. she described that today's talks as constructive, but she said there were no breakthroughs of ukraine or any future security arrangements in eastern europe. we will not allow any one that slam closed nato's open door policy, which has always been central to dando alliance. we will not wear go bilateral cup cooperation with sovereign state that which to work with united states. and we will not make decisions about ukraine without refrain about europe without your birth. not, nita went out nato. wendy sherman's speaking there. now neither was scheduled to have its own sit down with russia this coming wednesday here to expectations are low and the talks will take place without ukraine at the table. now, the fact that the kremlin insists on bilateral talks with the biden administration 1st. and then 2nd talks with nato. it does not help the situation today. ukraine's deputy prime minister made it clear on which side of the geo strategic divide they want to be. the euro. atlantic integrati

this just happened in the last hour or so, and this is from wendy sherman, who's the under secretary of state to actually lead the us delegation talks in geneva early this week as well as she was at those talks in native today, i was told that she made was quite interesting. she said the u. s. family wants to reassure that its stance is nothing about he without you. whether that's ukraine, whether that's europe. well, that's nato. an interesting point. given stilton burke had already said that ukraine was one of the major discussions of the day, despite the fact that ukraine wasn't in those discussions, a very confusing message coming that potentially from the under secretary of state . she also, once again accused russia of aggression saying, the countries building up troops on the bully that continues at something we also heard from you in stilton berg too, and said that russia and she's preparing to invade. this is something that has been denied over an overt by russia. however, russia has said what it needs to deescalate the tensions that is surrounding many different issues, par

we heard from when sherman the under secretary of state for the united states, saying that the u. s. s. position was that they wouldn't be talking about any one without them in the room. we then had also already heard from insult him. the thing that you bring was a big issue. of course, ukraine wasn't in the room at native today. begs the question whether the u. s. is a bit of double speak, but for the moment, no concrete break breakthrough on these negotiations. but it is some might say at least something that for the 1st time in more than 2 years, the nato, russia council has actually met. yeah, at least said something showed up in the sky there in brussels, bringing to the extensive coverage of these massive talks today. thanks for now. come back later. bad day again. far as johnson, the britain's prime minister is admitted that he did attend to downing street policy at the back garden of number 10 at the heights of the 1st national cove locked in 2020. and it was a tough lockdown to at the time for everyone else. he apologized to britain's then who at the time we're not even a

this combs as the deputy secretary of state that wendy sherman said, but as far as the united states source, they could see russia using force against ukraine before me to february. this, of course, something russia vehemently denies. we also heard from wendy sherman saying that nato had as of yet not made up a firm decision on what to do when it came to the situation regarding ukraine. very keen to see what anthony blinking has to say all very new news. this developing it of course, soon as we hear anything from gans, dalton book coming out of brussels as well be bringing you all of the latest here. what we have in terms of coming what's come out of europe so far. with relation to the, the german side, i'm seeing gay from berlin. there is a continuation of the message from germany that they will not send weapons directly to ukraine. they are sending age to ukraine, though of course there's part of the european union that will be sending perhaps part of a $1320000000.00. a financial aid package not still to be signed off by a lot of people though. but when it comes to, to immediate 8

wendy sherman's assessment was that to the meetings on monday about 8 hours worth of talks. with the survey rubric coffin, his delegation were useful. they were frank heard language, they were of straightforward again wendy sherman's language. but she said this wasn't a negotiation. this was really the attempt. she said for the u. s. and for russia to take the measure of each other's concerns. sense of the meeting last summer, between president slide amir potent and joe biden. russia's president was claimed victorian defending neighboring kazakhstan from what he called a foreign backed uprising. more than a 160 people were killed during last week's antique government. protests, monica, when president daniel ortega has been sworn in for a 4th through his inaugurated comes in the u. s. on the you impose new sanctions on nicaraguan officials in response to novembers disputed election. the united nations held meetings and cartoon to find a way to end the political deadlock.

sherman says the u.s. made clear to russia de-escalate the situation at the border or face severe sanctions. sherman refused to tip her hand, not going into any detail of what those sanctions might be. russian officials downplayed the potential invasion fool you got you in no way. do we plan or intend to, quote, unquote, attack ukraine? >> and all the arrangements regarding the combat readiness of the armed forces are made within our national territory. >> russia is amassing more than 100,000 troops near its border with ukraine and says they're there for training today. sherman says if that's true, then it's time to send those troops home. >> and they can prove. that, in fact, they have no intention idea the lighting and returning. >> the u.s. and its allies threatening the toughest sanctions yet against russia. an effort to head off what could be a widespread regional conflict triggered by a potential russian invasion a little today. ukrainian officials separately made their case in a meeting at nato head

that's more important than, than an event and understand the perspective from their sharing people to sherman government. but australian government and the victorian government should have been clear on what is going to happen beforehand. and i think it's not very fair to 4 person to come here and not be able to play. i yeah, i think that all this could have been avoided like we like, we've all done by getting vaccinated and doing all the things we had to do to come here in australia because everybody knew very clearly that the rules the united states is warning that russia is preparing possible sabotaged efforts in ukraine that could justify potential new invasion. us intelligence officials say moscow would then blame the government in kiev as a pretext to launch new attacks against the country. it comes after a week of talks between russia and the west, failed to diffuse a tense situation that began with russia, began massing troops on ukraine's border. here's pentagon spokesman john kirby. we have information that they preposition, a group of operatives to conduct what we call a false flag

reassured just by the fact that 30 allies in russia sat around a table because of the russians, as wendy sherman said, did not commit to de escalate. there were, were, was no indication they would pull back any of these tens of thousands of troops from ukraine's border, nor discuss deescalate in eastern ukraine. so really as we, as we discussed before, nothing was achieved in a tangible way at this point. and that's going to be felt very keenly in here at the same time. they are going to be very reassured in, in a, in another sense, that 30 ally sat around the table and complained to russia about his behavior in eastern ukraine and in and along the entire border with russia. so i mean a little of this and that, but i would imagine that he is not feeling so confident at this moment yet. so what's the way forward now for both sides of it. if you build up what both sides would like to see is that the other side, of course, come around to their way of thinking that's not going to happen on many of the proposals that russia laid out, of course, on nato, promising not to expand further east to never g

emily sherman has more. the a city turned into a war zone. this is cause ox downs, commercial center almighty. in early january. what started as anger of a rising fuel prices soon escalated into full blown riots. arson and looting. many locals tell us they're still in shock. most boy, what were they even trying to take your ice cream? bought a goes, said the mit of us apartment is right on the corner of almighty's republic square. the location of the city administration building and the at the center of the recent unrest. out of her window, she witnessed peaceful protests turning violent. cuz i guess i went a bit nuts. i opened my window and started shouting at the riders. you should be ashamed of yourselves. what are you doing? the people who opened these shops are people just like you rebuilding will take time. the authorities estimate the value of the damage to local businesses in the country at over 150000000 euros. nearly 2000 shops suffered at the hands of the rioters artist and designer. meaning you need sca has been picking up the pie

so we did a study with 2 colleagues at the international monetary fund, andrea atoria sherman, we looked at like exactly this, a, what implications the energy transition might have on metal prices. and as you said, demand rises strongly and then supply is often slow to react, as it takes long times from humans to open up. and we see that prices over the next years might actually reach peaks similar to historical highs, but for an unprecedented sustain period. so peaks could be reached around 2030 and a global net 0 emission scenario and only come down from this very gradually. so this would then make the transition more costly and potentially it is that a recent interview that these metals could assume something of the significance of oil in the economy. are there really no alternatives for them? right now? i'm so that's, that's a critical point. i mean, we could increase extraction and some points, like for example, teams deep sea mining, but it's still in its infancy. but then when we need substitution, that's very hard. so for example, concerning batteries or different types that use

is saying there are going to discuss just by a literal issues, a bill today in geneva with when be sherman the hat of the you as delegation here saying that nothing will be discussed about the european security without the u. s. allies. however, there has been a lot of criticism, and we also have to add that a representative of the ukrainian government is to day in brussels. it to holds talks with nature in a clear signal that ne, till is a supporting ukraine. at the same time, russian troops have been deployed because it's done in the past week to help put down protests there. what impact of any is that having on the talks this week? well, i think that it could have an impact, even though we of course, have to stress that the situation in kazakhstan doesn't have anything to do directly with ukraine or with the threat that the russian troops of the ukraine border are posing to ukraine. but some critics are saying that the fact that there are now russian troops in kazakhstan, even though they are invited upon the request of the causes them government, is just yet another example how russia

w. cit, deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman said, is that she hopes the russian delegation after its talks at the o. s. c e to morrow. and vienna will go back to moscow and convey everything they've heard to russian president vladimir putin. and that he will decide that diplomacy is the way forwarded forward, instead of continuing to send more resources, more troops, more weaponry, to the border with ukraine that remains to be seen. but again, the fact that the russian side did not rule out a continuing a series of talks with nato is being seen as a very positive sign. i just talked to this nato official who said that they do expect to hear back from moscow on whether they're willing to continue talks. so dialogue is the way forward, according to nato, and it looks like there just may be a small opening that this could happen is every course, one on terry shows reporting on the year, russia, nato talks in brussels. terry, thank you. british prime minister boris johnson has apologized for attending a party during long down in may 2020 after days of speculation. mister johnson admi

the deputy secretary of state wendy sherman has been very clear that we will not close the door on ukraine's membership in nato. >> ambassador taylor, we will have to leave it there. but thank you so much. now to another part of the former soviet empire. kazakhstan where the authorities allege recent violence that claimed dozens of lives was an organized attack on the state. they blamed the unrest on armed extremists that they say were trained abroad. there is growing evidence a power struggle within kazakhstan's ruling elite may have fueled the violence. >> in a country the size of western europe, there is one question that people are struggling to answer. why? why was kazakhstan rocked by violence? the worst unrest since the fourth communism? outside the morgue, they are collecting bodies. dozens of people are thought to have been killed in the clashes. her brother was missing for a week and she now knows he is dead. so many innocent people suffered because of someone, she says. those that made us cry should be punished. why did they do it? in other words, why did peaceful protests over fu

and off i, sherman was in charge of logistics. the van z conference has become a symbol of bureaucratic re planned mass murder here going is that the issue here was how individual sectors of the administrative st participate in the planning organization and implementation of the matter of european juice. this is an important point for us, but it's also important to highlight that without the participation of society, this mass murder could never have taken place. miles didn't matter. moran gave him conan, private denunciations and laws that excluded jews worked together. at the end of the process, there was to be a relatively harmless sounding re settlement. deprived of their property and citizenship. deportees were left with only one suit case. they had to pay for their own tickets to the labor and extermination camp. a one way ticket to our shreds escaped, and there are no perpetrators without victims and no victims with our perpetrators . of course, we can 1st deerwood what the perpetrators did or did not do. then we can unders

negotiator wendy sherman said russian military movements make it all the harder to defuse the crisis. >> is this about invasion, intimidation, is this about trying to be subversive? i don't know. but it is not conducive to getting to diplomatic solutions. >> reporter: russia's putin is trying to roll back the nato alliance which has expanded dramatically in the last two decades. he is demanding ukraine never be allowed to join and that military deployments be halted in countries like romania. just last month american f-15s were operating out of one airfield in romania while u.s. helicopters flew into another. some of the many deployments ordered since putin annexed crimea. >> it all started with what putin did in 2014. >> reporter: former nato ambassador douglas lieutenant says it's strictly for defense. there are currently 1,000 u.s. military personnel in romania. >> you would need ten, 20, 50 times the numbers of troops that nato has positioned now to pose any sort of serious offensive threat to russia, and putin knows this. >> reporter: u.s. officials say they are willing to limit

so i think that would also be unpopular among russians, corresponded emily sherman in moscow there. thank you, emily, get a quick round up of some of the other stories making headlines to day. at least 18 people have been killed in brazil, after heavy rains. the state of south palo saw landslides and flooding. authorities say around 500 families have been left homeless. the states governor has authorized emergency aid money for the affected areas. brazil has experienced torrential rains and flooding over the past month. protesters angry over canadas vaccine mandates have blocked roads for a 2nd day in the capitol. ottawa, the demonstrators include truck drivers who organized a convoy from the western part of the country. prime minister just intruder and his family were moved to an undisclosed location. as a precaution, portugal governing socialist party has been celebrating after a bigger than expected victory in sunday's elections. there result allows prime minister antonio costa to stay in power with an absolute majority in parliament. in your polls had predicted a narrow window.
