He later instructed the Russian armed forces to ensure peace in the two "countries".俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周一签署两项命令，承认“顿涅茨克人民共和国”和“卢甘斯克人民共和国”为独立主权国家，下令俄军为这两个地区提供“和平保障”。State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke with United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken by phone on Tuesday. Wang said that China is concerned about the evolution of the situation in Ukraine. China's position on the Ukraine issue complies with its consistently held position that the legitimate security concerns of any country should be respected and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be safeguarded.周二，国务委员兼外长王毅同美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯通电话。王毅在通话中表示，中方对乌克兰局势演变表示关注。中方在乌克兰问题上的立场是一贯的，任何国家的合理安全关切都应得到尊重，联合国宪章的宗旨和原则应当得到维护。The evolution of the Ukraine issue so far is closely related to the delay in the effective implementation of the new Minsk Agreements, he said.他说，乌克兰问题演变至今，与新明斯克协议迟迟未能有效执行密切相关。China will continue to engage with all parties according to the merits of the matter itself. The situation in Ukraine is deteriorating, and China again calls on all parties to exercise restraint, ease the situation and resolve differences through dialogue.中方将继续按照事情本身的是非曲直，与各方接触。乌克兰局势正趋于恶化。中方再次呼吁各方保持克制，通过对话谈判缓和事态，化解分歧。The United Nations Security Council had an emergency meeting on the deepening Ukraine crisis on Monday.

The US and its European allies are also poised to announce harsh new sanctions against Russia on Tuesday, Reuters reported.普京周一签署关于承认两个“共和国”的命令立即遭到美国的制裁。据路透社报道，美国及其欧洲盟友当地时间周二宣布对俄实施严厉的新制裁。Li Yonghui, a researcher of Russian studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Russia's recognition of the "republics" is a key step to hinder NATO's eastward expansion. Russia and NATO will probably have a long-term military confrontation, and a more tense security situation is likely to appear in Europe, she said.中国社会科学院俄罗斯东欧中亚研究所研究员李勇慧表示，俄罗斯承认“共和国”是应对北约东扩的最关键性步骤，俄罗斯和北约可能会发生长期的军事对抗，欧洲安全形势或将更为紧张。Moreover, after a series of talks with Western countries, Russia has seen that Western countries are not likely to send troops to safeguard Ukraine's security in addition to imposing economic sanctions on Russia, Li said.此外，李勇慧表示，在与西方国家进行一系列会谈后，俄方已经看到，除了对俄实施经济制裁外，西方国家不太可能出兵维护乌克兰安全。The independence of the two regions means that the Minsk Agreements, signed by Russia and Ukraine in 2014 and 2015, have become mere scraps of paper, Li said.李勇慧说，这两个地区的独立意味着俄罗斯与乌克兰在2014年和2015年签署的《明斯克协议》已成为一纸空文。"All parties may still need to return to the negotiating table to deal with the situation," she said.她说：“各方可能仍需要回到谈判桌上来解决问题。”Yuri Rogulev, director of the Franklin Roosevelt Foundation for United States Studies at Moscow State University, said the current international deadlock will last for a long time. Moscow's Western adversaries and Russia itself can maintain tension, but no one will cross into the point of no return, he added.莫斯科大学富兰克林·罗斯福美国研究基金会主任尤里·罗古廖夫认为，当前的国际僵局将会持续很长一段时间。他补充说，俄方及其西方对手的关系会持续紧张，但没有人会越过红线。sovereign英 [ˈsɒvrɪn]；美[ˈsɑːvrɪn] n. 君主；元首；金镑（旧时英国金币，面值一英镑）adj. 有主权的；完全独立的；掌握全部权力的；有至高无上的权力的permanent英 [ˈpɜːmənənt]；美[ˈpɜːrmənənt] adj. 永久的；永恒的；长久的sanction英 [ˈsæŋkʃn]；美[ˈsæŋkʃn] n. 制裁；（正式）许可，批准；约束；处罚vt. 许可；准许；准予；惩罚；实施制裁adversary英 [ˈædvəsəri]；美[ˈædvərseri] n. 对手；（辩论、战斗中的）敌手

Conversation starts @ 5:00 In this episode, Dr. Price interviews Dr. Mark Ryan, and we begin with a quote from Dr. Ryan's book defining transpersonal psychology. “Our individual ego, our sense of a personal self, and the psyche that sustains it, is imbedded in an interconnected cosmos; our personal psyche reaches into, and is penetrated by, a collective consciousness, a natural ambience, a spiritual foundation and context” (p. 127). Through this conversation we explore the definition of transpersonal thought, meaningful perspectives at the root of religious and spiritual values, constructivism and perennialism, William James, Ken Wilbur, and other luminaries of religion, psychology and spirituality, North American thought and the history of mysticism in the United States and how this influences modern thought in the west, the science of the psyche, the influence of behaviorism and Freudian thought on religion and spirituality, cosmic consciousness, the science of the paranormal, psychical research, psychological reduction, materialism, a review of the founders of modern psychology and spirituality, the conscious and the unconscious, mystical experience, panpsychism, & psychedelics.

Prof Iwan Morgan, Professor of United States Studies, UCL Institute of the Americas Barack Obama won a second term as US president with the support of women, the young, blue collars, African Americans and Latinos. The Republicans, in contrast, retained the support of their habitual white base that is mainly middle aged and older and largely Protestant, in essence representing America's demographic past. The United States remains a politically polarized nation. The Republican party's control of the House of Representatives still enables it to block many of the president's initiatives and as a consequence, Prof Iwan will argue that it is difficult to see the United States making great progress in the next four years towards solving its fiscal and debt problems, tackling climate change, and renewing a schools system on which the nation depends for its future human capital. - UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's top universities. Across all disciplines our faculties are known for their research-intensive approaches, academic excellence and engagement with global challenges.
