nathan, what's the latest? >> russia's ambassador to ireland said the russian nato drills would be relocated as a goodwill gesture, and it's been a rare moment of levity over this rolling diplomatic standoff over ukraine. earlier this week, the u.s. and nato presented their written responses to russia's security demandses and the russians are now mulling those over. and the person we're waiting to see respond to that fully is russian president vladimir putin, who we're told by the kremlin has reviewed those written responses and will get back to the rest of the world, essentially, on what next steps are and what russia's official response is going to be. his foreign minister has said that they believe that there's some common ground, perhaps, on some secondary issues, but on the big picture issue of ukraine's having a path to joining nato, washington and moscow remain very far apart. now, u.s. officials are also warning that they see further signs that the russian military is preparing for a possible incursion

nathan, december stanz news room was rated by 200 police officers. several staffers were arrested on suspicion of confiding to publish what the authorities call seditious material. on december 27th, the outlet throws down that how does it affect a week later? another outlet, citizen, news, shut down. chris young, the founder of citizen news, had this to say. the invitation is clear that overall media is facing a increasingly tough environment. and for those who are being seen as critical or troublemakers, they are more, they are more on the revolt. and that's why we made that decision. it's worth going back a bit to understand the political context of this. in 1997 britain, which had colonized hong kong handed back control of the city to china. beijing public committed to allow a certain level of autonomy, but bit by bit has failed to live up to that promise. instead, the chinese communist party has been typing its grip on hong kong with cedars, implications for democracy in free speech, this since 2020 when time and produced a controversial national security law. at least for news o

for these are the other princesses, nathan lodgement is aggressive. absolutely not true. and nathan launch month has been a cornerstone for the spread of democracy and freedom across europe. threats or that sanctions were also being reiterated by nato and the u. s. if in russia, invades ukraine, something it continues to deny that it is about to do. and while discussions were underway, here in europe, a detailed plan of those possible sanctions was being unveiled by democrats in the u. s. senate all available and appropriate measures would be considered to insure the north stream to pipeline from russia to germany didn't become operational. it said, while companies that russia has that offer secure messaging services would be targeted . both a said to be measures to target severe costs. so, russia's economy, some said it was a wind to get russia and nato together, the negotiating table, but it seems both sides leave these talks, having made no further significant strides towards unity, charlotte e belsky, r. t in brussels. luc revenge, independent journalists, has shared

so these are the other friends as a nathan argument is aggressive. absolutely not true. and nathan launch month has been a cornerstone for the spread of democracy and freedom across europe. well, some bright spots that were discussed in that meeting that suggest they could be yeah, emerging of minds on certain aspects, according to and stilton berg that was on arms control and also on proliferation. but no actual concrete measures have been agreed in those things in regards to a schedule for future talks, which sultan burke had said would be a marker for the success of this particular meeting. he said his counterparts from russia needed to go away and have a discussion about that before they would get back to a schedule of possible further talks. and he did say though, that they is no solution and less, there is a way forward, politically between the 2 sides. i st. anthony's discussions about that. and then this isn't the fastest way to, to try to get out of this crisis is for a child to deescalate, i really color or shelter to start off of a corporation of dialogue, of

al jazeera with the fees al jazeera, quick reminder, all the headlines for you this are the head of nathan says, differences with russia over ukraine will not be easy to resolve stuff. since the alliance is willing to talk about question, talk to russia, author of items control, but would not allow moscow to veto ukraine's wishes to join the rock. the british prime minister has apologized to the nation after admitting attending a guardian policy, internal streets during the 2020 locks. and not of course is when johnson governments was enforcing strict measures confining millions of people to their homes facing multiple coals to resign. and an explosion has walked somali as capital, mogadishu killing, at least 10 people killed in 5 security officers, say carbon targeted, a security convoys unable leading to the airports. okay, we're going to take, you know, see russia 50 for a minister. alexander goosgo is giving a briefing in brussels following that meeting with me. so on the screen crisis, let's listen in precisely aimed at analyzing that situation and particularly the tensions which will

right now, all of these new nathan members are lean actively used by the alliance. and our proposal is aimed at william, shrinking new military low for military and from confrontation and the escalate the situation in nettles, europe, but nater is doing exactly the opposite. the art will expand in the presence of the or landtroop and aviation in the territories adjacent to ukraine on the roof, conducted exercises in the black sea. and the number of such exercises have grown dramatically over the past few years. and many other things have happened. and it gives us ground to believe that lease loftier rather than reg of the west. that even if russia does not comply with the west demand this lee were destroyed for a garden, what it can do with its own troops in its own territory. we just ab search in itself. the van with the news in the commons of 2 or 3 months, the west would increase the our activities or fosters of poems and special operation of troops around our borders to share with locals. that is why answering your question. i'd like to tell you that many things

nathan lodgement is aggressive, absolutely not true. and nathan launch month has been a cornerstone for the spread of democracy and freedom across europe. nato regurgitated the line that it is not a threat to russia. moscow didn't agree. the u. s. and nato continued to conquer militarily. the territories of the countries included in the alliance and place offensive weapon systems. there. this directly poses a threat to the interests of the russian federation. a final stab was made at finding common ground in vienna at the organization for security and cooperation in europe, a supposedly neutral ground where and fortunately, the language from country representatives was anything but it seems that the risk of war in the always sea area is now greater than ever before. in the last 30 years, the europeans also went down the smear campaign route, following a massive cyber attack and government sites in ukraine. the eas top diplomat hinting one can figure out who is behind the strike. the hackers have not yet been identified, and while the we

and the ones nathan ro, back is troop movements from central and eastern europe. the problem is, those demand that they've been cook. norma started by the way that russia had to know that those demands were non starts his way when it was put forward. so the guessing game now and, and it really is a guessing game because it's very hard to tell what's going on in the mind of the decision makers in the kremlin. and we saw us president joe biden also say that it's really only one man like me to choice. now, the guessing game is, is this all just going through the motions, and they've already made up their mind that they want to make some kind of incursion into ukraine. or is there really a diplomatic solution that might pay them and how can not be found? and indeed, nato is actually doing the exact opposite of what moscow wants. the u. s. is considering deploying troops to nato member states in eastern europe, how you expect the kremlin to react to that? yes. so if the, if the criminal was serious about what he wanted in terms of pushing back nato forces, this provoca

nathan chen is fresh off his sixth championship overy in weekend cementing his return to the games. on the "today" show he said it's harder for people watching him compete than it is for him to compete. >> it's kind of like, go for it. i think at that point you just have to trust your instincts and make the jump happen. it's more stressful to watch than it is to do it ourselves. >> wait, really? is that true? harder for us watching you than you guys? >> of course, we're stressed out. when i'm watching mariah compete, i'm like, my heart is pounding. when i'm on the ice, i'm pretty calm, pretty relaxed. >> well, your focus is all devoted to your performance, right? it makes sense. >> alysa liu also made the team. the opening ceremony is february 4th. our coverage starts the day before that. you can watch it all right here on nbc bay area. also stream it on apple tv and amazon fire. >> really looking forward to that. and the forecast this week really cooperating, kari. >> yes, it is. it looks really nice. and for a lot of people who are heading back outdoors for lunch and also for rece

is putting the so called battle groups on standby, as preparations for potential nato offensive, or nathan provocations or nato support to kiev in trying to take back some of those breakaway republics, and ukraine that are supported by russia, pac separatists. russia has pointed to this as an aggressive move by nato, and said, well, if need to be serious about the escalating, why is it now moving troops towards russia? well, if we look at the diplomatic efforts looking ahead, the so called normandy format, that's russia, ukraine, france, and germany. they are set for talks on wednesday. what do you think moscow's position is going to be going into those negotiations? has that position changed? moscow physician hasn't changed from the very beginning. moscow outlined it demands back in december. that is the legal guarantee that ukraine doesn't join nato and the rolling back of the alliance. his forces. this was seen as a broad new european security pack the russia wanted. now the normandy format is very, very closely concentrated on the situation in easton ukraine with these break away repub

nathan, let's talk about this. the u.s. doubling down on the assessment of russia's capability to invade the whole of ukraine. we heard biden there about the timing of sending troops, all the while urging diplomacy, but moskow so far is sending mixed messages about those prospects. >> yes. as president biden raises the alarm about the potential for russian incursion into ukraine, russian president vladimir putin is doing what he does best, acting presidential, staying above the fray and biding his time. the day after the u.s. and nato delivered their written responses to russia's security demands, president putin visited a cemetery in a publicly televised ceremony to lay flowers on the anniversary of the end of the siege of le leningrad in the second world war and laid flowers on a grave. on friday he chaired a session of the security council but the kremlin gave us a very anodyne read out of what was said there, and president putin hasn't directly addressed the crisis itself, remaining quite silchbt on the matter. his curr

i realized how much i love skating. >> please welcome nathan chen. >> reporter: nathan, so amazing. this is the first time i had the experience of being rink side. everything stops, the music starts, and all eyes are on you. >> it is incredible. >> nathan chen at 10 years old. >> all the figure skaters have been doing it since they were kids it is amazing to feel all your work is culminating to this one moment we all worked really hard to be where we are to have opportunities like this to show what we have been working on is pretty powerful. >> reporter: what about when you go up for the jumps? what goes through your mind? >> when it comes to competition, it is, like, go for it you have to trust your body, trust your instincts to make the jump happen. it is more stressful to watch. >> reporter: it is harder for us watching it than for you guys? >> we're nervous but at the end of the day, when i'm watching mariah compete, it is stressful my heart is pounding when i'm on the ice, i'm relaxed. i have confidence in what i'm doing. >> reporter: how did the pandemic affect your training?

how could you then argue that nathan isn't surrounding russia? there was also another point that no one promised russia that nater wouldn't expand these. this is a lie. the state department is coming out and issuing a direct line they, they have it in cables from their own director of the cia back then robert gates, who, who said in a memo that we shouldn't press or ahead with the expansion of nato eastwards. because gorbachev's was led to believe that this wouldn't happen. then we heard from our hans theater denture, who was then the west german foreign minister, who said that no natal shouldn't expand eastwards. he said this in public, we had the same insurances, from bush, from thatcher. this is all in writing that they have the, uh, the archives. and so this, this is the problem. this document is, is full of misleading statements in which the united states tries to pain the world, black and white. and on top of all the esa, it seems our channel has become a target as well. well, i channel has been a target for a while. they've been even conce

men's short program. >> absolutely brilliant short program from nathan chen. >> reporter: but just like any prospective olympic athlete, behind the scenes his biggest threat is the looming threat of omicron and covid-19. >> they don't want to get it before they arrive at the olympic games, but what athletes do best is focus. >> reporter: in nashville he said he wasn't taking any chances. >> i'm trying to do the best i can. not staying at the official. staying at an airbnb. >> reporter: already covid-19 has forced skaters and pairs teams to withdraw from competing at nationals. and nearly dashing the hopes of one who missed competing in free skate after testing positive for covid-19 earlier in the day. after petitioning was given the final slot on the women's roster. >> she is a gamer. the lights come on, and she is comes alive. >> reporter: bell making history as the oldest female figure skate tore make team usa in nearly 100 years at age 25. >> you know what? age is literally a number. it means nothing. and if you have a dream, there is no limit on the time that you have to achieve tha

that was nathan mitten in ohio. that war is looming right now in the middle of europe has about doing everything we can to prevent a military escalation of the situation. of course, we do not deliver weapons to ukraine, is about keeping the peace, elastic piece order in europe would not work with our russia, but only with russia. cranks have also imagining signed one nato member, which is already sent to navy vessels to the black sea. spain has pledged his full support to the block, but some and the opposition are not in favor of the nice window. so local mo, we is one of the signatories of this manifest. so, and the bulk of those who made the formation of the current government possible. believe that firstly, spain has no place in this conflict. we are not interested in any worse. all this is a pro cation of the united states and nato, in an attempt to reshape the world order in which they are losing influence. the us openly admits this is very important for its national security. so the u. s. and they to are escal

other nathan members are also ramping up weapon supplies to key if it is enough to scroll through a couple of random pages to be sure, none of the provisions stand up to any critical analysis. in many cases, it is simply alive. well, at the news conference off to the talk, so a lot of lashes out at u. s. officials on mainstream media, pushing fresh unproven claims against moscow will examine those claims later the south with life from moscow. thanks so much for joining us tonight. archie international and daniel hawkins were over. you are so welcome to the program. now the yet top diplomat, so russia and the u. s. are finished, their security talks in switzerland to have tensions over ukraine remain high. washington is expected to provide rosco with a written response to the gremlins concerns next week. parties b to all a reports from geneva. it's all wrapped up here in geneva, and we've now got a much clearer picture of exactly how both the us and russian side see these talks having gone. we heard from said again after all, the russian foreign minister who described them as useful and con

k. troops in that country and that will be part of thousands of nathan forces deployed across eastern europe and the baltic states in poland and romania. and indeed, that follows early announcements by joe biden, who said he will be deploying extra us forces to use in europe as well. including putting aden off 1000 us troops on standby for rapid deployment. should things escalate there? and that's not all coming from the u. k. now the parliament this week is set to hear legislation which would allow the government target, russian banks, energy companies, and oligarchy that close to the kremlin as a whole package of measures to the so called russian hostility. this is what the prominence that the say this package would send a clear message to the kremlin, we will not tolerate their destabilizing activity. and we will always stand with our nato allies in the face of russian hostility. both things all moving on the diplomatic front to pros. johnson of course, alongside for our secretary lives trust will be visiting the region in the coming days or. ready weeks, at least including the cap

what will be interesting will be in relation to, to how unified a response is from nathan. because on wednesday we heard again from another member of the alliance, this time bulgaria saying that they would not take part in any operation that involved them. having to end to ukraine, both of them having to take part in any military operations resulting from a conflict between russia and ukraine, bulgaria, following on from croatia that made that announcement or the creation president. anyway, made that announcement on tuesday on wednesday. could you pet called the bulgarian prime minister said the bulgarian troops will not take part in any conflict in ukraine. he did point out that the, the only risk to his country said he wouldn't allow any troops to tape all day. the only risk came in the form of energy insecurity, which is of course, one of the big worries when it comes, the european countries of the whole crisis concerning ukraine, the tensions around russia, nate, so and key f elsewhere across europe. what we have seen is germany, which is a country which is repeatedly s
