pulling their businesses from russia including ups, hermes, samsung, microsoft, cogent, more countries continue to enact additional sanctions on russia. and on russians close to the president, including singapore and switzerland. which is a move deviating from the historic norm. geneva has imposed banking sanctions. people with bank accounts in switzerland, a safe place to keep your money away from the prying eyes of other governments. if you re russian, it is no longer safe. at an emergency meeting of the united nations security council, the u.s. called russia s attack on the nuclear power plant, madness and a threat to civilization. russia has seized control of the nuclear power plant. that is not a nuclear weapons plant. it creates electricity for nuclear power. it is the largest nuclear power plant in europe. international monitors do not believe the integrity of the
2000 the rest, so they were in dozens of cities or processes going out. i was listening to our programme, hardtalk, which goes out, that evil staff alexei navalny, and he talked about putin this time biting off more than he could chew. very briefly, do you think that is true? he very briefly, do you think that is true? . . , very briefly, do you think that is true? . ., , , very briefly, do you think that istrue? . ., , , is true? he certainly bit off more than is true? he certainly bit off more than he is true? he certainly bit off more than he could - is true? he certainly bit off more than he could chew l is true? he certainly bit off i more than he could chew with regard to his vision of saving the economy by bringing in billions of dollars of currency back into the country in december and thinking that that would be a rainy day fund. that will be depleted in six to seven weeks, and so how he will keep an economy running, what will happen if the oil market changes through eithe
