withdrawn his music from a podcast. let's turn to the tensions on the ukrainian border. russia has not ruled out a diplomatic path forward to it says the americans have not met its security demands. the us has rejected a ban on ukraine ever joining the defence alliance nato. this is the russian foreign minister reacting to that today. translation: in the content of the document from the us| there is a response which gives hope for the start of a serious conversation on secondary questions but in this document there was no positive response to the main question. russian foreign minister says moscow isn't closed off to a diplomatic solution. but over 100,000 of its troops are still massed along its border with ukraine. russia has also been carrying out drills across its baltic coast — these pictures are from today. but russia has denied all along that it's planning to invade ukraine — and repeated that message today. translation: we have already re eatedl translation: we have already repeatedly stated _ translation: we have already repeatedly stated that - translation: we have already repeatedly stated that our - translation: we have already i repeatedly stated that our country does not intend to attack anyone. we consider even the thought of war between our people is unacceptable. let's remind ourselves of what exactly russia has been calling for. top of the list: no nato membership for ukraine. but it also wants nato to stop its expansion eastwards. and the roll back of all of nato's military deployments in the region. the us hasn't made the details of its response public — but we do know that it hasn't conceded on any of these. here's the us secrerary of state. the ball is in their court. we will see what we do, as i have said repeatedly. whether they chose the path of diplomacy and dialogue, whether they decide to renew aggression against ukraine, we are prepared either way. let's take a closer look at the west's response. in the past few hours we've heard that german chancellor olaf scholz will be meeting with president biden. we know some countries are providing military equipment. then these pictures show fighter jets from denmark arriving in lithuania today — this part of nato's aim to bolster defences in the wider region. and the uk is one of several countries considering sending more troops to eastern europe. here's the uk defence secretary. we could definitely deploy more forces in land, sea or air. we have been clear with a rash of these would be counter—productive for their own fears. the lesson from 2014 as you get more nato on your borders if you break international law and become more aggressive. there's also the possibility of imposing new sanctions on russia. that could take the form of financial restrictions. most likely excluding russia from swift — that's the global financial messaging service. specific individuals might also be hit with a travel ban or see their assets frozen — including putin. those are options. and john bolton, who was national security advisor to president trump, says the west needs to do more. threats of economic sanctions to punish his behaviour after he invades are not sufficient. i don't think he thinks the threats are credible. he didn't suffer reprisals after he seized the crimea and took eastern ukraine in 2014. he has seen the united states withdraw from afghanistan. so i'm afraid he doesn't think that the west's threats are credible. let's bring you the reaction from ukraine. this is emine dzhaparova, ukraine's first deputy foreign minister talking to the bbc. the messages we receive from russia that they are committed to peaceful resolution or they are not planning to attack ukraine, i think that several scenarios are behind and one of the main that is being elaborated so far is heating and shaking the ukraine in terms of economic consequences, the political system change and the situation is evident. russia has seized ukrainian territory before — when it annexed crimea in 2014. it also backed ukrainian separatists in these two areas in the east of the country. now, the united russia party — which is in power — says it'll ask for military supplies to be delivered to both. lots to consider. barbara plett usher is in washington and bbc russian�*s olga ivshina is in london. barbara, to start with you, yesterday you were talking us through the american response yesterday, how has it shifted today? it hasn't shifted because as you heard from the clip the ball is in president putin's court which is the view here so they are waiting to hear back from the kremlin about what the official response to their paper is. they will probably have been heartened by the fact that the top officials have left the door open to diplomacy but unlike them i think they feel that he is the one who makes the decision so they are waiting to hear what that will be. there we have any indications of the official formal message the russians want to give back to the americans? they said on the one hand they are not satisfied with the answer but there _ not satisfied with the answer but there is— not satisfied with the answer but

iirrt when it comes to sanctions. there are pockets of washington who feel that tougher action should be taken to prevent any military nurse by russia into ukraine including imposing sanctions now but the administration would say that to do so would take away the deterrent effect of the threat of sanctions and they want to sanction something that actually happens so they are seeing those sanctions would be imposed if there was a military incursion. they are saying it would happen very quickly, that everything is prime to go, and talking about how severe the sanctions would be. publicly and privately, so getting the message across, but the administration has shown no interest in the ring to impose sanctions before there is actually some sort of military action if indeed there would be

dogs from afghanistan, following the fall of kabul to the taliban. it comes after emails from officials published yesterday suggested borisjohnson intervened to help the animal charity nowzad. labour says mrjohnson has been "caught out lying". here's damian grammaticas. they were desperate days. british citizens, afghans who had worked with the british army, thousands at risk from the taliban who never made it out. but pen farthing did, along with his animals. dogs and cats cared for by his charity were on one of the last planes out. today borisjohnson again denied he had a hand in it. no, and this whole thing is total rhubarb. i was very proud of what our armed services did and it was an amazing thing to move 15,000 people out of kabul in the way we did. but an internal foreign office e—mail leaked yesterday said the pm has just authorised the charity's staff and animals to be evacuated and campaigners for the charity said mrjohnson agreed its staff were under threat. the prime minister understood those arguments, accepted them and did put those people on the evacuation list, working with the home secretary and foreign secretary to get the wheels of whitehall moving. evacuation, mrjohnson insists, was a success and saved lives but left many others behind. so once again the issue is how truthful he's being now. somebody is lying about what happened in the events that led up to the evacuation of the animals from afghanistan and i think it's become increasingly clear that the prime minister's story is not credible. he has not told the truth. in wales today, he was perhaps hoping to avoid questions about that but the focus remains on this one issue. meanwhile, the uk is still waiting for the publication of the official report on lockdown parties in number 10. let's speak to our political correspondent helen catt. i guess we should start with the main fact of the matter, it is still not here. it main fact of the matter, it is still not here. , ., , ,

there hasn't been any direct political interference. there had been suggestions civil service unions may be part of the delay because they were worried about members being named but that is not the case. what seems to be causing the case. what seems to be causing the delay is the big change by the metropolitan police announcing they were going to investigate so downing street wants reassurance nothing is going to come out in the report that will cut across that police investigation but the understanding is that sue gray does not want the police investigation to mean she has to leave things

they have said they will publish it swiftly afterwards and the prime minister has committed to going to the house of commons and giving a statement. beyond that we do not know what the timescales will be and speaking to downing street earlier, because the parliamentary week was running out of parliamentary week, on thursday evening, and the suggestion is that they would have to speak to the speaker

president biden says he'll name a nominee for the supreme court by the end of february — after the court's longest serving justice, stephen breyer, confirmed he's stepping down. president biden repeated his promise to put forward a black woman to take justice breyer�*s seat, in order to broaden the makeup of the court. i will select a candidate and the person i nominate will be someone of extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity and that person will be the first black women ever nominated to the united states supreme court. it is long overdue in my view. i made my commitment during the campaign for president and i will keep that commitment. this is the woman currently seen as the frontrunner — keta nji brown jackson. she's 51, and sits on the circuit court of appeals. by co—incidence, much earlier in her career, she worked as law clerk to justice breyer, on the supreme court. among the other names being talked about are this woman — leondra kruger — she's 45, and a judge on california's supreme court — and candace jackson—akiwumi, who president biden recently picked to serve on the circuit court. here's one legal scholar on what the white house will be looking for. age will be important. they will be looking for a nominee under 50 i would imagine or at least under 55 who is likely to be on the bench for a very long time. there are five black women who are on the court, president biden has done a good job of diversifying the bench, they were very few african—american women on the federal bench before. the bench is deep beyond the federal district courtjudges, there are academics, teens, law professors, so many talented black women who can serve on the supreme court. justice breyer had his own comment to make on diversity as he reflected on the cases he'd heard during his career. this is a complicated country with more than 330 million people and i know they used to say it is every race, every religion, and every point of view possible. it is a kind of miracle when you sit there and see all those people in front of you, people that are so different and what they think, and yet they have decided to help solve their major differences under law. us media have reported justice breyer did not intend to announce his retirement yesterday — and that whilst he had decided to step down, he was "surprised" when the news leaked out. some on the left of the democratic party have been pushing him to go. last april they had a truck circling the supreme court with a billboard saying "breyer, retire" — publicly urging justice breyer not to "risk his legacy to an uncertain political future." progressives wanted to avoid what happened two years previously when another liberaljustice — ruth bader ginsburg — died, whilst still serving. a republican president — donald trump — nominated her replacement. gary o'donoghue is in washington. assuming the choices made by the end of february, is it reasonable to assume that person will definitely take their place on the supreme court? ~ , court? i think the rules were chanced court? i think the rules were changed in — court? i think the rules were changed in the _ court? i think the rules were changed in the senate - court? i think the rules were changed in the senate a - court? i think the rules were changed in the senate a few| court? i think the rules were - changed in the senate a few years ago to mean it needs a simple majority and it is the senate that gets to say definitely whether a nominee goes ahead so 50—50 in the senate at the moment with the casting vote of the vice president but there are unruly democrats on occasion. on issues like this i thinkjoe biden will be pretty clear before he puts a nominee forward that he is going to get his way and the front runner you mentioned has recently got some republican votes and one of her nominations. i was and one of her nominations. i was mentioning _ and one of her nominations. i was mentioning the _ and one of her nominations. i was mentioning the progressives, - and one of her nominations. i was mentioning the progressives, the left side of the democratic party had been pushing thisjustice to step down. presumably now that has happened there is a lot of lobbying going on for the different sections of the democrat party as to which kind of nominee they would like. yeah, that will be getting up in a cage way over the coming weeks as they interview those candidates in they interview those candidates in the white house. there is a lot of culture war type battle is going to be coming up in the supreme court in the coming years. that is where a lot of american sort of public life and public policy is made nowadays, not so much in congress, which is in gridlock. it comes out of supreme courtjudgments. that is what steers the nature of american society never did so it is incredibly important for the political factions to get their person. the current make up is 6-3 their person. the current make up is 6—3 in favour of conservative so the replacement will not make that much difference in terms of the voting although they do never read the spectrum sometimes on specific issues. , ., ., ., ., issues. -- they do move around. one ofthe issues. -- they do move around. one of the reasons _ issues. -- they do move around. one of the reasons this _ issues. -- they

house but only a handful of the majority there and presidents typically do that in the first midterms. the senate could easily go. it is not quite as dire in the senate election this year as it might be for democrats given the nature of the particular seats that are up but there is a good likelihood they could lose control and once that happens the republicans can in some ways do what they like with nomination so it is a crucial moment, really the only moment ahead of those elections that he could do this because they are term runs from autumn to summer and they hear the cases in the autumn and spring and they come out with theirjudgments in the summer and then they go into kind of recess, so getting someone nominated around the midterms is pretty nigh impossible. thank you. events a re

young has withdrawn his music from qualified. —— podcast. let's turn back to ukraine. the us and other nato countries have said consistently there will be serious economic sanctions if there is any invasion by russia. one key factor here is a gas pipeline called nord stream 2. as you can see from this map, it will deliver russian gas to western europe. and the us state department has warned, that's relevant because the pipeline would double russia's gas exports to germany — so important for germany and russia. here's the german foreign minister. translation: we have made it clear that further military action against ukraine would have massive consequences for russia. it is on this basis that we are working on a package of sanctions in case further aggression. the full range of our responses is available including nord stream two. germany's role is interesting. it's chosen not to export weapons to ukraine. here's the uk defence minister. there are 30 allies, so we can all assist

taking a leadership role. germany has been dragging its feet about playing hardball when it comes to the ukrainian crisis. the rhetoric is there, the germans value the relationship and the importance of nato and working together, but they don't offer up any solutions. germany has demurred when it comes to strong sanctions to offer lethal weapons to ukraine, and also... but i think the tone is

about talking about war in ukraine or in europe. so i think they realise the stakes are high, and the foreign minister did come out and say that everything is on the table, and i think that's going to also be true for nord stream two. she's from the green party, who were never really excited about this project, but unfortunately, many members have been beholden to russia through lobbying lengths and an allegiance to russia. there is certainly support within the party. i think there will be a red line when it comes to lethal weapons. there won't be any exports or any delivery of lethal weapons to ukraine. but i do think the economic sanctions of nord stream two are definitely now part of the negotiation packets. just before i introduce to you, you heard a clip of the defence secretary

permission for estonia to export lethal weapons to ukraine that were once the property of germany. so, i think there is a lot of disbelief at germany's reluctance because germany is the de facto leader of europe right now, and people want to have a strong germany, and i don't think they want to see them sit on the sidelines because sitting on the sidelines because sitting on the sidelines doesn't necessarily ensure peace and stability in europe, and it's clear that russia is an aggressor. this country is all about keeping the rules of the international order stable and how important malt multilateralism is, and what better way to show unity than not working with europe in the us together when it comes to confronting russia? we appreciate ou confronting russia? we appreciate you

controversial. last year, he was accused of spreading vaccine misinformation after he said... then, this was 2020, when he interviewed conspiracy theorist and far right radio host alex jones. there was backlash against that too, and more recently, backlash against an interview with dr robert malone — he's an infectious disease specialist — who opposes the covid—19 vaccines for children. and on other controversies, here's music correspondent, mark savage. rogan has said he's not anti—vaccination, but he has questioned young people against getting it. he's hosting guest who falsely claim, also the anti—parasite as a potential cure. he's allowed guest to claim world leaders have hypnotised people into getting vaccines and. earlier this month, a group of 270 doctors and scientists wrote an open letter to spotify citing his...
