the, the, this is the w news, live from ballot and rushes, let them it post in ones nato, a ukraine in his annual state of the nation for us. person hints, nuclear weapons could be used if nato countries send troops to ukraine. he appears as the west of trying to destroy russia from within will. so coming up on the program, warnings of rocks and into parents and mold davis, break away region of transmits trees, pro russia separate tests that are asking must go to the health flaming discrimination by the pro western government and the from us run health industry and gaza says more than a 100 people have been killed while wasting for delivery of humanitarian aid in

gauze, assessing the money to present to them. thanks so much for joining us. the russian president vladimir putin has won tonight. so states that they risk nuclear will if they send troops to ukraine. he made the remarks in his annual states of the nation address, who's in one home to say that russian troops will be moved to west and russia, close to new nato members, finland and sweden. excuse me. glad to be a puts in has given his annual state of the union address just 2 weeks before the presidential election, despite facing no meaningful position via the announce social reforms under 10000000000 euro before low for us as health care system. but the more and ukraine still dominates the earlier this week,

the french president emanuel mackerel refused to roll out the west, sending troops to ukraine, prompting a stop warning from boots in the menu of one second. so when you, when they should eventually understand that we also have weight bonsfield and they know it's really tight. just city now myself in weapons that can hit targets on their territory. a pretty doing everything that the waste is coming out. you know what they threaten the world with. it can result in a conflict with the use of nuclear waste in some good idea. and they for the destruction of civilization. i'm not sure, but when you're searching and civil is that some of the nato countries including lift to a new product, the french position, but the german chancellor or left. charles has rejected any idea of direct nato involvement in the war, and ukraine not to east of nato is not, and will not be party to the war back remains the case. we do not want to rush as

war against ukraine was to become a war between russia and nato and feel we agree on this was all allies. this also means no german participation in the war. under no sign of any laptop in the war and boots, in heading for a quarter of a century and power relations between russia and the west, are likely to remain tens for the foreseeable future. james mickland as an ex bus on russian politics and foreign policy with the department of will studies at kings college, london. she told me what stood out to hon most in person's address. i think the posit the address, the i to christ nato was his confidence bordering on, well, i hope would be humorous, but which i am afraid. i tread is probably quite well placed is confidence in dismissing the us any, no, just the us. but any efforts at diplomacy is just political,

fostering his insistence that rusher is facing somehow and come to colonial rule against the west. and just his general confidence about the bustle field, which of course is slightly rose tinted, given he's not mentioning the enormous loss is enough to have co, but somebody who just recently called back from don't boss, i'm currently in kids. and for should that be the situation at the front is very, but for those of us who would like to see you crying when and a lot of his confidence, i'm afraid she actually didn't feel quite as misplaced. this is obviously good with pretend said that russia strategic nuclear forces are in a state of full readiness and he mentioned new generation hypersonic weapons. so you mentioned his self confidence to what extent does all of this take things to the next level of trust? i didn't think it does take you to the next level of fret. i think we're still on the level of, you know, rhetorical braggadocio or she will and we get

a lot of that from russian. this is, as you referred to you and your 1st question, this is, this is nobody's fast radio in terms of russians, nuclear fritz, when russia, if russia what to push its nuclear weapons into an actual, stationed readiness for use. there were many, many signals that would come and you know, many west and governments would be aware of that. so we have to be careful to separate what region says, which is obviously aimed at based a domestic audience. drawing up support for war that has gone on well today, 2 years longer than originally planned. and of course, frightening the west and in particular sending a message to there is the escalation is in particular in washington dc, who understandably have a very great fear of nuclear escalation. he's playing on the stairs. the person dismissed washington's recent claims that russia was considering pushing nuclear weapons into space. he said that they will, unsubstantiated allegations,

he describes of his ravings. how would you assess that is not really in a position to assess the, the rushes crusty in space, but i do find it. 1 and she hears him to dismiss anybody after 5 to one minute on. so you are slow off the wise and the origins of cuban reese. i find it quite cheeky of him to dismiss anything. can anybody else would say, is ravings. all right, well we'll have to leave it there, but thank you so much for that analysis. james mickland from king's college loans and thanks for speaking to us, ukraine is warning against quote, disruptive external interference in moldova is break away region of trends. and this trio, that's also the self proclaimed republic aust. russia to provide it with protection separatists for the war against the mold dies and government in the 199 sees russian soldiers have been the ever since. despite promising to leave, he is a go. tensions have been rising ever since rushes invasion of ukraine. a

tear as paul, the capital of trends and history on the surface all appears calm. this despite appeals from officials here for protection from russia. meanwhile, in the mall, dove and capital, there's nervousness. your new material to us, i'm afraid that the will, will start to see it to get a little diverse, a weak country from the point of view is the military. we have no resources and i, we probably will receive help from other countries. but i don't think it will help us at all because when not even in the european union founders speak with others who collect the authorities in transmission area. approximately deciding the fate of old over architect by addressing coaching and the state duma, with the request to be accepted into russia. and if you put anything called this,

in fact, is a declaration of war against the republic of mazda, of, i'll have to do is move parts of the republic. i'm a little i mean rush, i, president, a lot of marapoo made no mention of transitory street in his annual state of the nation address. however, his foreign ministry, spokes person did comment on speculation, russia was planning to antics the territory inside. although buck nothing whatever . nathan, stubborn need trying to turn to republican to literally a 2nd ukraine. contrary to the most of the majority of them will build on population. and in general, what apparently without thinking about the consequences of this for the country and for the region as a whole. so but nato insists russia is madeline. i was here almost there. so i thought the pressure is using all the leave was of influence at its disposal to stop the european pulse of the republic of moldova, it is obvious from trans history is a form of pressure on moldova become more of a white glove, which it is

a political declaration to inflame the pre electro climate to know the speaking at a summit of leaders from south eastern europe, the mold open president tried to reassure her fellow citizens and called for solidarity with neighboring ukraine. the ladies safe to the ukraine needs to be supported. ukraine is keeping us to date the school and safe hopeful message in a country overshadowed by the proximity of its neighbour russia. much above who is a freelance journalist who just returned from a visit to transmit street. i often miss trans mystery and so worried in any way about pro russian set persists or asking most go for help. i will say there are concerns. there are actually quite happy and keen to gain support from must go up. as you rightfully said,

about half of the population holds the russian citizenship on the streets of the russ full. you can give russian speakers in 99 percent of the cases. so people are very keen and they look up 2 months, go for what they want and what the cold protection from. mold the interference inter business. and what i say business means the economics ok. now we know that russel already has a small military presence and trends in history a. how likely is it but more russian troops and will be sent to as well. it's highly unlikely and not because it's a matter of will. but this is a matter of geography logistics at the moment. multi device alone and lock country and trust in this draft is an enclave within a land lock on the street. the board that would ukraine was shop between trust me via and ukraine was shot. i believe 3 months into the wall. so the only access into the same place is through moved over at the moment unless rushed up last to evade

minova through the airport. or somehow through the black sea through a desktop, which means they would actually have to take this off. i don't see how they can send more russian troops into, throws me still owing to move over the at the moment. okay, so that will finality no more. russian troops likely to be fed into and a trends, and it's true. i wanted to ask, i mean, if that were a, put the, the possibility would that then have no con affects on the conflict. and you say, of course, i mean anything that happens at the moment in ukraine or in, um, i'm sorry, it is a bit of noise. if anything that happens at the moment, not only on the 2 countries, but of the legion itself. and that's because it was nice of, you know, on the bed ever since the morning, the early 9, there's a huge, i mean,

nation people, cold combust law, the largest, the rush of holes in eastern europe. we talk about russian citizens, half of multiple this population. so obviously there are security implications for everyone, including for romania because at the same time, a lot of mobile phones, phones, romanian best sports and remains as a link to country as your old know. so definitely huge implications at the moment. for anything that happens, intros needs to be off or to a large extent in moldova, much above the enroll davis. thank you so much, much if it was fascinating insights let's. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. a new little make has have been sworn in subpacket stones. parliament is the 1st time the national assembly has met since and election 3 weeks ago that was mont. by allegations of vote rigging, the new government is facing an economic crisis and security can sense a permanent position politician has been killed in the central african nation of

chad. the country state prosecutor says, yeah, yeah, the low died on wednesday during an army assault on his policies headquarters as being unrest and try to have a presidential election set for may and june. a 2 day public transport strike is taking place in a number of german cities, including here in the capital building. well because of wilkes off the job ball tents. collective bargaining tools take place as a pay and conditions. gemini has been hit by a series of transportation strikes and recent weeks. and the us supreme court has agreed to decide whether donald trump is immune from prosecution. it's a victory for him as it delays his trial on charges that he conspired to overturn the 2020 election. trump's lawyers argue he shouldn't be prosecuted for actions taken while he was president. now health officials in gauze of say more than 100 people have been killed off the is really soldiers fired on

a crowd wasting for humanitarian. a delivery and garza city come us, why they designated as a terrorist group runs the goals, the health ministry, a mazda officials less say more than $700.00. all those were injured in this incident is ready. officials say most of those killed died in across to get a bots. they've also acknowledge that as b 8 can void and moved further. north troops fired warning shots including people's legs. apparently, they believe that another crowd gathered around the convoy, posed a threat. this is one is randy government spokesman had to say about the incident. my understanding desktop is that the humanitarian aid vehicles in the gaza strip and were overwhelmed by uh, people attempting to essentially loops to uh, to take that uh, aid from those a trucks at some point. and we can,

you can surely see this and some of the videos that the idea of distributed at some points. the truck so overwhelmed and the people driving the trucks which are garzon, uh, galls and civilian drive is uh, plowed into um, the crowds of people. here's an update from dw is tanya came out. who's in jerusalem? the devastating scenes that bird just described by the eye witness list, but also conflicting reports on what happened, especially when it comes to the timeline. no, we understand it was an 8 conway conway of goods coming from the south to the north on the coast road. that's along, you know, the coast of line of casa a, going into a news and goes a passing a, a sort of check point there, or the is really military. no, i witness a said in,

in devices that you know um and, but you could also see it on the footage that was produced by the it's really military that hundreds of people seem to approach those trucks. the trying to get a to this a trying to get to the food a to the goods that is on these are on the trucks. now i would say there was shooting and balls and the people were in panic running. also the trucks were trying to get way, and there was a panic that happening, and that's why the house ministry in garza said that over a 100 people were killed and several 100 injured in this incident. now the i, the f has a different account of, of what has happened there. and can you remind us what these randy military is saying about that? it's yeah, they're saying basically in the statement they're released early on. they say also this, the incident is still under investigation there. we're saying that in the 1st incident,

and that's where they released this footage as a say is, you know, their people were swimming towards these trucks and there was a panic. there was a stem pete, basically, and then they're talking about another incident that happened not far away from the area where they say that the military responded was nice. why as they felt threatened. so the incident is still under investigation. we also heard from a um, government's books, person he put uh, you know, the, a numbers that the house ministry, and garza put out the in question and he described it as a tragedy. but of course, we should not forget, and we have been hearing from 8 organizations from the united nations in the past days. especially warning of this extremely dire situation is especially in northern goals are because they have difficulties to reach cause and you see on these

pictures and coming out to a desperately a people are trying to get the need tanya claim and jerusalem. tanya, thank you very much. without a problem, those have been protesting for weeks against you. policies in countries across europe. and some of the biggest process of being in poland west palm is, are also angry, over the cheapest suit imports from neighboring ukraine. the issue has been straining relations between the 2 countries, which have been placed upon us since russia's invasion, a few crane polish authorities have even accused russia of influencing. the former protests dw christine, one dwell reports from poland, or we're in 3. it's cool, but it's key 60 can, how much is outside of also people from this region like to think of it as your biggest orchard, mateusz diversity is family has been growing apples here for a century who we get all the different overboard video for those like gala

golden, delicious or something. but businesses tests these days and mateusz is unhappy about e u roles and that's addressing climate change and the cheaper agricultural impulse from ukraine that will coming into the polish markets. michael post case, i don't need to as it polish pharma speaking for myself, but it comes to the green d a in the oldest book received the actions of the european affairs of i'm certainly concerned and could even say more than concern taquila and i don't know if anybody's name was number of uses and the these issues has been growing in poland, it's seen from is block traffic from ukraine that the board is. and this week, they staged this big demonstration in was so i, so we went up our main point of this to try and stop the import of food products from ukraine. this is the 1st and the most important point. unfortunately, the government doesn't want to talk to us. that's why we came to or so we want to

show the power of the polish farmers, because the farming community has been mobilizing online limitations on facebook. groups with other farm is in his region and beyond. but the government says it is on into it as a possible russian infiltration in the process through social media. your social kilometers. uh, i'm sure that protein and as people react to it in europe, they take advantage of such a protest along. yeah, it's enough to take your phone and start reading comments from the federal home ex, with all facebook and phone to face before even on my own phone. a see how many comments i made to the point by the fake accounts a month of on this use. in 4 months, if the site's gone thought independent, observe is also concerned with russian propaganda doesn't know we're conscious pulling fluid is they are, is facing our novices, our social media, our public discussions and public debate. looking into it rather go statements,

statements with play with our emotion authors. these are investigating some anti ukraine and pro russia slogans that have been spotted and recent demonstrations. but tell you save those on, not just fill the form is not there is no i didn't post it on. you certainly know polish fama who cares as i believe, is it over that they're going have been, you will make, do you mind? said directly a tech about the ukraine and support team i think we own the best push it out and you know, uh okay, you know, just did i own a patina? poland has been one, a few cranes biggest back is in the us. but the issue with the farm is, is causing tensions between keys and also a w, as christine wound to us solve that report, told us more about the suspect, said russian influence on the farm is demonstrations. old ortiz here in poland or

convince that russian trolls has infiltrated social media feeding. this information to, to farm is as the, the official told me, the deputy agricultural industry. they've observed your allstate accounts on the platforms, facebook, and it's these accounts are disseminating as sort of conspiracy theories. this information specifically targeted at farm is, who are protesting. there have been some incidents at demonstrations. one in particular is being investigated with a fall back had a post on his track to explicitly encouraging the russian president vladimir putin to finish ukraine, this res, along here in poland. that particular incidents and other related ones are being investigated. so there is absolutely no doubt on the part of polish ortiz fast. russian influence has made its way into these protests, hence, some of the extremist views that some form is expressing at these demonstrations.
