states, germany and our allies united. we know the germany has significant connections to russia and the germany light. the united states seeks a stable, predictable relationship with russia. that's in all of our interests. finally, in our meeting earlier today with the, the quad with germany, the u. k. france and the united states. ah, and as well you, i represented joseph burrell. we focused, as elena said, on the, on going talks with iran about a mutual return to full indentation of the j, c, p, away the rod nuclear deal. and we are indeed at a decisive moment. ah, we can bring these talks to a successful conclusion. and address the core concerns of all sides, but time is running out. if a deal is not reached in the coming weeks, ron's ongoing nuclear advances which resumed after we withdrew from the agreement, will make it impossible for us to return to the j. c. p. away so we discussed in detail how we can reach an understanding in vienna and what we'll do if around rejects a mutual return to compliance and full imple

it will be met with swift, severe, and the united response from the united states and are partisan allies. u. s. intelligence says russia has already amassed at least a 100000 troops on its western border and is moving weapons into allied belarus, north of ukraine. the u. s. and russian positions are clearly far apart to blinkin and laugh off making very little real progress. but the 2 men did agree to continue to pursue diplomacy as a way of the escalating, a crisis which could lead to war. it was on the shores of lake geneva, the talks between the u. s. and russia led to the end of the cold war, decades on how old rivalries have resurfaced, both sides accused each other regression and relations of dangerously deteriorated . the outlook for the coming weeks is turbulent. natasha butler, al jazeera, geneva live to washington. our white house correspondent, kimberly halgert. kimberly the talks were frank and business. like, according to the secretary of state, nothing was resolved. it looks like they're at least going to continue to talk. what's the u. s. strategy here? yeah, well what we

and i think the united states and the u. k, in particular, are embroiled in domestic loose right now. and what we worry about, and when we talk about political science is like the diversionary theory or argument is in some sense you want to bolster foreign threat in order to alleviate some of the domestic pressure and issues. and so in times like these, all it takes is some things very small for a word to be stated. some have told us or his we found out that there is a president saddam hussein invaded kuwait, was because of a snap decision when he was a threatened or told that a, you know, there's hopes of trying to make sure that i'm selling of oil at a lower price in order to ensure that every woman in iraq would be a, you know, have to process to herself. so things like that can lead to spark. i mean, yes, he had been bolstering, but it was dot that triggered the attack suddenly. so that's what we were about, something like that, a statement, a miss statement, why somebody leading to either the russians to invade or someo

they sailed to no home when over rivals united states. the result means candidate for the standings in the qualifying group with full gangs to go looking to reach the fonts for the 1st time since 1986. the usa still 2nd in that table, despite this difference, english primly seen edison of appointed frank lamb called as a new manager, the former chelsea boss assigned a 2 and a half year contract and 5 refill benita. earlier on this month, the club is just full points, clear of the relegation. we know where it is cobb once debate want to get to, but we know 1st and foremost from the challenges that are in front of us right now in terms of lead position. we have an f, i kept going next week and so i want to get to work very quickly on that to, to deal with the short term. and of course in the back of my mind, wife, a long term vision of the cop. now cats, i was pushed to become a focal point. the global sport will take light to this year when a host, the football. well cut right now, the olympics for fencing is taking center stage. les hot r

so i may have or are my own secrets just like the president of the united states. i think we have very open relations and our secret services are sharing lots of information with each other. but her, you have to feel the pulse on the day to day, day basis. you see a troops coming in and coming back and we're withdrawing and pulled back because there's different types of information that is intercepted when to stand. how these special o troops are working under disguise. they're working on linda, don bass and many or bluster or no of our country. i don't want to to so panic her, but her we, we, we are handling this with her arm forces. i would like to her to give you an example. if you look only at the satellite, you will see her in the increase of troops and you can't assess whether this is just a thread or just stir a tag or simple rotation. so our professional people, they look deep entered, we see how they change very close to their how they put the tend or that several brigades came on no, on the border. but we can see that there is no one there. they, on the s

more of a lever that the united states and maybe germany might use. it's quite clear that if there is an incursion or a conflict that escalates in ukraine, the united states would like to and germany might make nordstrom to part of the conversation, essentially not allowing russia to use nor to trim to. that's a possibility. germany has mostly shown a slowness in approving the project. that's essentially the default position right now. no one expects the pipeline to really operate until much later in the year. so there is a sense of dragging their feet for germany busy with this project. in part, to maintain the optionality of hitting this pipeline. once this pipeline starts operating, it's very difficult to shut off because no one wants to shut off gas to their own economy. but at the same time, what the last 67 months have shown us with very high energy prices in europe, in part because of how russia has sold its gas into the continent, is that russia has market power in europe. whether or not nordstrom to is completed and flows or not. and nicholas

but many here, the united nations believe that would be a bad move. who would make it harder to mediate with these and more difficult to distribute aid across yemen? or thomas, you know, isn't assistant professor at the university of also a school of public and international affairs. he's also a non resident fellow at the san, our center for strategic studies. he joins us live via skype. i want to start by asking you about the significance of the fighting that is taking place in the oil and gas rich province of merit. it is very significant, but it is ad you graphically close to the center of yemen. it is strategically important, as you said, because there are some loyal and gas reserves, not a lot, but, but as much as yemen has, as so in, in a situation of war, as is the case. now, it can make a significant difference on who controls it. but also matlab is at the crossroads of, of north or south and east west roads in yemen. so whoever controls my, it will, will gain a significant advantage in the future of the war in the country. and what barring do

response from united states and our eyes and partners. and yet pictures like these from roster show russia increasing not decreasing its military readiness. some media reports suggest horses like these and many others on now poised that several strategic locations around the borders with ukraine. in moscow, the view is very different. the sharina zappa lay equal grains at the moment. the western and ukrainian media, as well as officials, had become even more active in replicating speculation about the imminent russian invasion of ukraine as they put it. we are convinced that the goal of this campaign is to create an information cover for stating landscape publications of their own, including those a military character which may have extremely tragic consequences for regional and global security. oriental products, while in kiev president volley, mia zalinski says his country's aim is to prevent war with its neighbour, horrible, marcia global edition. we do our best to find a diplomatic solution. we do our best for peace in ukraine. yeah.

a battle is waging at school boards across the united states. i'm sure we've got hundreds of people out there that would like to see those books before we burnham books deemed to be sewing division in the classroom by republican control boards. a being reviewed by authorities sama being removed from the shelves. i don't know that any advocate has been working on ah, tracking or paying attention to the freedom to read. can recall the time when the same book was removed or targeted with such vitriol and haste. in so many places all over the country at once. and then the involvement of politicians, state legislators, governors. this is categorically differently. this is next level. we're gonna embrace our parents, not ignore them. the issue was key to the republicans re taking of the governorship of virginia for the 1st time in 11 years, even after donald trump's popularity had slumped their last november. this was one of the adverts used by the victorious campaign, and my son showed me his reading assignment, my heart song. it was some of the most

bear with me on this one, spain in the united kingdom. i just wanna generally show these ones quickly. there was a general upward trend going here at the moment. then we've got france and italy also by going up and we just heard about restrictions in both of those countries as they try to bring these down. now look at this, the netherlands in germany. absolutely the opposite. coming right down here and think about it. the netherlands put in some pretty tough restrictions over the christmas period in germany. well known christmas beforehand and they have been tough for some time. we know lockdown, we do have an effect on hospitalization and case numbers and that's what we're seeing in the netherlands. and jimmy, find the one i want to show you. south africa, of course, we're on, the kron started, and you see how the hospitalization rate went up quite a lot there. but is now very much coming down. and we know that the south africans are saying they believe they are past their peak in micron and the hospitalization rates. little arrow. and t

he says that the, this and inside the united emery's is to teach the united amorous. listen according to, to what he said that in order to stop its involvement and also its participation and the saudi did quality and war in yemen. according to his statement. well, the saudi led coalition says that intercepted several drones fired on the kingdom as well. according to state media, 8 were launched, all were destroyed. humans who the rebels regularly target facilities and saudi arabia. they've had airports and oil infrastructure in the past. the saudi led coalition intervened in the war and yemen in 2015. let's speak to our correspondent passionate. how about a who's covered yemen extensively says we're saying hash and these attacks have to be taking place in saudi arabia. but what is the significance of the united arab emirates and what are the host these hoping to achieve with this were basically the reason why they're stepping up. the campaign particular targeting the united arab emirates is because of the u. a is increasing political volt, india and they have a milita

it's a port of entry into the united states. we're just a stone's throw away from the us mexico border and the weather has been not very favorable. it's been raining on and off all day. it's still quite cold here. and the want us, these are not good conditions for the hundreds of people that are saying at this make shift migrant camp. that's right on the border. but it's still better than what many migrants are facing, who are sort of left to fend for themselves. given that this area has been fenced off, migrant shelters are already at capacity, and people that are unable to find a place to say, sort of have to find a way to, to make ends meet just out on the streets. now what we've observed over the last few days here in the city of the juana is that there's a growing concern, specifically over the re implementation of a policy or us policy known as the migrant protection protocols or m p p. it's also known as the remain in mexico program. it forces us asylum seekers to return to mexico. wait in mexico, while the asylum cases a

the united nations declared jim and one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world and was saudi arabia and the u. s. have spent billions of dollars on the wall and comparison very little has been spent on those who have suffered as a result. i said, bay of desert as time to get the weather with kara now. hello there. let's have a look at the weather across north america and all eyes at been on the u. s. east coast as a powerful winter storm swept its way north. how it brought significant snow to places like new york city. some people braved that in time. square about 20 centimeters fell here. it wasn't record breaking. it was boston in massachusetts at 4. so the heaviest snow, but we still have the hurricane force winds. and of course, some coastal flooding. at least 10 states were affected. it's now moved rather quickly. by the time we get to sunday, you'll see it's eastern areas of canada that are affected by that system. it leaves behind a lot of high pressure, and so things are looking rather clear across the southeast. we'll see things start to warm up as those gulf wind so

also, molly's supposed president abraham bu because he has died at the age of 76 and the united states is currently way behind other countries when it comes to offshore wind power. i'm christmas leave me on the east coast coming up. i'll tell you what's being done to change that. i'm sure, i guess we'll go with the sport. we have 4 more games coming up in the african nations and, and other england passing collab fees are streaming, feel all new ashes. when in hope all i have all the action coming up is our ah, welcome to the news tennis. don't know that joke of it has been deported from australia after court upheld a decision to counsel his visa. earlier he said he was extremely disappointed with the decision, but would respect the ruling talk of which had appealed to a federal court after the immigration minister revoked his visa for a 2nd time. on friday, the government argued his presence would fuel anti vaccine center until he was scheduled to play in the australian open, which starts on monday. it's been jimmy's. this is a paper being locked out there on site, and because of the c

how the united states moving moves forward. there is still room for diplomacy, including high level discussions between not only the u. s. president, but the president of russia, vladimir putin, the united states, is open to that is encouraging that they're also continuing to push for various discussions at the levels beneath that ab. but at the same time, they are also projecting this message that if diplomacy fails, they have other back up measures at the ready once again, that would include warships that would include aircraft. and that would include more than 8500 military personnel to support the nato forces not in ukraine proper with the possibility of adding to that number. in addition, there would also be these punishing financial sanctions that would cripple the aerospace as well as the artificial intelligence capabilities of russia. now to that end of the secretary of state entity, blake, it has been speaking with officials in china, continuing to press for the i sort of the assurances that it will work with the unite

well, the military hardware that the united states, the united kingdom i've been bringing in as well as ab other countries like netherlands, which are that the year bring it in as well. are mostly ad defensive weapons. so they're basically aimed at, di, preventing and at blunting a russian ex ebay advanced are not necessarily lead alarms, or they're not necessarily of the south variety in terms of drones at turkeys bring again. so they're slightly different in that regard. i don't think that they'll be necessarily enough to completely stop override russian invasion simply because of russia's military superiority, but they could help increase the cost of that is also important to keep in mind that the u. s. in particular, has already authorized $125000000.00, a military assistance center biden earlier this year. and now with adding another 200000000 more. so it's adding to an already substantial level of, of assistance. but he more to come here all that he is i including the race to hell tolerance recover from the devastation caused by the volcanic eruption. tsunami. and in sport, the

in mid february, james bays al jazeera of the united nations. kinda alondo is chief executive of the sense of european policy studies. he joins us now live from brussels. could savvy with us, is a consensus among european countries in nato allies in how to respond to russia, how harshly to respond to russia. and hill goods are on there, i think. and the way i see it over the last month base the that the consensus is growing amongst european countries. natal level tool hits back are russia, whatever russia does against the crate. i think we have a feeling that no, it has been enough. this game between russia or against the craig has been going on for 7 years, 8 years with a lot of victims on the credit side, with the annexation of the cream and the downing of this, and playing malaysian airlines also 56 years ago. and no one has a feeling that your mom, you are being countries, they are st. that's enough. and the natal, we see there's a growing concerned that countries which are neutral to davis are not members of like finland, suite one to char

they want the sanctions from the united states, united states, as well as the united nation, has to be lifted against the group and their allies. also, the best is going to be pressing them hard on the issues of women's rights, civil liberties goes education. and this is something that we've seen as, as a sticking point between the 2 sides that they are not able to move forward. we're not expecting any major breakthroughs that but diplomats have been telling us that this is a step in the right direction to try and reconcile the differences between. i've gone themselves and try and solve the problem for millions of outcomes, living in desperate condition a little later in this diesel will be speaking to an agency about the pressing needs of millions of afghans who are enduring a harsh winter under extreme poverty. also coming up anger over, covet 19 restrictions boils over in belgium and in sport winning field goals for the story of saturdays and f l. playoffs. as teams close in place of this year's super bowl. ah, the u. k says that russia is in contact with former ukrainian politician

so we see armored units when c artillery. we see a comma to the troops, of course, that sent a message that there is a real risk for new ah, on conflict in europe. but that's exactly why it is so important to engage in dialogue. and we can join at joan a whole now he's been following that meeting form at lunch. and, and jonah, i got quite a fiery at rhetoric there from the nato secretary general at one of the learned from this meeting. well, 10 stolen bugs, comments throughout that press conference, very much pointed to the substance of the foreign ministers meeting a short while before which was an opportunity, of course, for them to talk about russia and ukraine, but principally to align their positions against what one of them the british foreign secretary, this trust called russia's unacceptable aggression towards ukraine, so that the secretary general could come out afterwards of project this sense of sort of bending unity strength and determination by native in the face of what he describes as the real risk still over r

the united states to set a new global record more than 1000000 cubic 19 cases in one day. as elsewhere, it hasn't translated however into a large death rate, but testing and other services are getting overwhelmed to india, which is imposed a weekend curfew in delhi. after seeing the highest infection numbers there in months and children in the u. k. have returned to school after the holidays, despite exponential infection rises in the past week. more than 1000000 people, there are now in self isolation, moral not shortly with rory challenge in london. we'll also be talking to poverty, natal correspondent, who will join us from new delhi 1st though, let's go to washington dc life and our correspondent there, john hender. and so john, the us president joe biden meeting with his senior cobit advisors later. what do we think will come out to that discussion? well, he's going to be told about the latest about the resources that are going to the states from the federal government in order to deal with this. wildly spreading on the kron variant 18 percent of those people tested h

he says that the, this and inside the united emares is to teach the united amorous. a listen according to, to what he said, that in order to stop its involvement and also its participation and the saudi, its quality and war in yemen. according to his statement. well, let's see to our cars by the hash marlboro, who's covered the story for many years now. hush him. why is i be darby been targeted right now? well, asked the same question to senior hotel. official has said basically they are sending a message to the amount is about the need for the you a to stop interfering in a in humans are internal affairs and they say that they will continue watching those attack, citing the you a while, as long as the a maintains a military process and provides significant assistance to the pro government forces in yemen. if you look what is happening on the ground, you see that the elite forces loyal to have the obama so handy, the president of yemen, back train, and financed by the you a half bay. the crucial role in taken over the province of subway. and it seems that the health

but in terms of the response, it is clear that the united states believes that its allies are united. and again, what we've seen is the united states cleaning up that information from the u. s. president, whether it be from a statement from the white house, the press secretary herself or the secretary of state antony blank and. and now the u. s. president, speaking very forcefully about what the intentions of the united states are. but what these comments from the united states seemed to suggest or from joe biden is innocently expose some of the divisions that do exist among the allies, particularly in europe. and that is, is that there are some differences among the european partners about the potential response. and that's why we saw this hasty trip by the secretary of state antony blake and to berlin, as well as to speak with the ukrainian president kolinski. now of the pretty and president we should point out was not happy about us. president joe biden's comments. in fact, he took to twitter to say there are no minor persia and that he wanted to remind the great powers of that. so

and then in support, we'll hear from you casa united's 1st big signing. since the club was bought by a saudi backed consortium. ah, 3 white men convicted of murdering black man mar to our brand. new i stay of georgia have been sentenced to life in prison. a judge handed down the sentence to father and son gregory, and travis and michael without the possibility of parole. their neighbor, william bryan, was also sentenced to life that could seep parole after 30 years. the sentence is come nearly 2 years after the men chase down, unarmed, and nod aubrey before shooting him. a joke. well, le, let's just speak to mike hannah. he joins us now from washington. might tell us about the reaction to the sentencing. well the man day 3 sentence for felony murder, which is what these men were convicted of is life without parole. and that judge had to decide in the course of the sentencing hearing whether or not he was going to allow parole in these cases. now, family members address the court during the hearing, and they made very clear that they wanted the maximum sen

our diplomatic editor james base is at the united nations in new york. he's with us now live, james. the u. s. has called this meeting, why now? well, i think one of the reasons is that they want to control the circumstances of the meeting because there is an important thing that happens on the 1st of february, and that is a change of the presidency of the un security council. currently. it's no way and on the 1st of every which is tuesday, it's russia that's taking over the presidency. now that doesn't mean they can block a meeting. any council member can call a meeting, but it gives them a little bit more control of the situation. a little bit more control the gender, little bit more control who can brief the security council. so i think it was decided by the us and its allies. it would be a good idea to get this meeting in. wal, nowhere is the president before, for a whole month, russia takes the presidency. there was a big question though, in a couple of time when the counsel ambassadors arrived and they'll be coming this way where i am right now dow

i will, i will assemble the russian units, move across ukrainian border. that is an invasion as a former nato planner if you'd still been working as an aid, so planner when people in brussels here that kind of thing from the us president do, they sort of metaphorically place their hands over their ears and they, they think of themselves oh no, why is he set up or is it just something that is not bad to have it out there because he's just being perfectly honest. exactly. i mean that's the problem is that difference? because we're talking about the difference, a signaling to basically russia, the cost of doing certain things. he's both has to be an extremely clear business, but he's also very nuanced. because obviously you are not going to respond to a small military on the line to be in the same way you would respond to a dramatic the enormous media or invasion and nuanced point that because it on by the and tried to do whether you should have done it during a press conference when all eyes and ears on what he said, i think that may have been his mistake. b

and 2, we will stay united with our nato allies. earlier this week i spoke with my polish counterpart yesterday i spoke with my romanian counterpart. and this morning i had 2 very good conversations with my counterparts and france and germany. as we may clear, in addition to the significant economic and diplomatic cause that russia will incur a move on ukraine will accomplish the very thing. russia says it does not want a nail nato alliance, strengthened and resolved on its western flight. it will contribute to nato's response forces, and we will coordinate with our nato allies. we will make sure that they have the capabilities that they need to defend themselves. article 5 is clear on his point. an attack against one nato member is an attack against us all and as president biden has said, the united states whole, this holds us as a sacred obligation. and we will do right by that commitment. and mister potent can do the right thing as well. there's no reason that the situation has to devolve into conflict. he can choose to deescalat

the reigning capitalist, they knocked out in round 3 by amanda, am so over at the united states. ah ah, the stakes were high and talks between the top diplomats of russia and the u. s. over ukraine, but a near 90 minutes meeting between antony blinkin and so gay lover of ended in geneva without resolution. but with the hope of future negotiations, moscow was still sticking to its demands that nato should not allow membership to ukraine. at other former soviet states and blanket reiterated america, its european allies position that those demands cannot be met. based on our discussion, i believe we can carry forward this work of developing understanding agreements together that ensure arnett, our mutual security. but that's contingent on russia stopping its aggression toward ukraine. so that's the choice, the grocer faces. now, you can choose the path of diplomacy that can lead to peace and security, or the path that will lead only to conflict, severe consequences and international condemnation. still mom would, would love to publish. at the end of our meeting, we agreed that next

and we also heard from a senior humanitarian official from the united nations. again, briefing the security council saying that over 15000 people have been displaced in the last month. and the number of civilians that have been reported killed is 358. that's tied for the highest figure at any point in the last 3 years. very grim news from yemen often described by people as the forgotten war. but it's a war that continues to rage. join us novice guy is marashi button. who is a political analyst on yemen, just on that point that, that james base was making, the kind of forgot who brings up to date with, with where the escalation has been happening and what the problems have been. well, the current situation is there is an ongoing really severe battles happening around the outskirts of the city of matters in the north of the country. and it is significant because this is where the oil fields for the richer all the fields of the country are said. so the be in full for the last year and a half happening around the outskirts of the city of modern and yesterday, just t

traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail it. citizens, britons, true colors, part one on out jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah. hello, i'm rob matheson, this is the news are alive from doha. coming up with like 60 minutes. nato says it's sending reinforcements to eastern europe as fears grow about a possible russian invasion of ukraine. moscow accuses the west of hysteria. occur, attempt appears to be underway in burkina. faso soldiers have detained the president on the lebanese prime minister, san al javier. he says he's stepping away from political life and calls on his party to boycott the upcoming election. on the former catholic, pope acknowledges he gave false testimony to a child, sexual abuse inquiry. and i have heated them to the school for more teams battle for a place in the quarter finals of the africa cup of nations among them, hosts, camry and who take on giant killers, cameras that the corona virus causing some big problems for the tournament. debbie . so ah, well, nato is expanding its military presence in eastern europe

but burrell did say that the you had agreed that they were united in their response. if russia should invade ukraine, and that response would be a package of sanctions. he didn't give any details as to what those sanctions would be. he said, if the time comes that to implement them, then they will be implemented and we may know a little more then the social thank you very much indeed. that server correspondent natasha bottle talking to us from paris. wanna bring in our white house correspondent, kimberly hall could how is the white house responding to this? how concerned are they appears? very concerned, given the fact that we've just had the update to the president schedule that now includes at 20 g m t a video conference call with the european leaders as they continue their coordination and consultation over this potential conflict. and we know this follows a weekend of meetings at the secure location up in maryland, north of washington, dc known as cap david. this is where the u. s. president consulted with members of his national security council. we're told that

united states is ready to discuss. very important, serious security issues that was defined behind the scenes was it offers. secondly, that russia wants to show defiance of any future sanctions and also wants to demonstrate that you are implemented that there is a late selectively to the selected european nation like germany, easily reducing all cutting, both by supplies and one of the most important goals right now. on the russia, in these negotiations is so discouraged the united states from army central european nations that joined need to optimize united 7. and that was why today very clearly that was this message was made today were literally disconnected states army sandstone europe. nations will the chance of not a breakthrough, but a positive direction to travel if you will, will the chances of that be increased? not so much when nate, so or the us state department starts talking to people from the kremlin. might it come when ukrainian officials start talking, either face to face, or in a proximity sense to off

it's all happening because of what later at the united states, the green and the information they are spreading. in kiev, the u. s. and u. k began the withdrawal of some diplomats families and non essential workers from the city, although the embassies will remain open. the reduction of empathy staff another signed without a diplomatic break through the threat of conflict looms large. natasha butler al jazeera. well, in the last hour you as president joe biden has discussed ukraine in a video call with european leaders. let's get more now from my cana in washington, d. c. m. i. what more do we know about the call? well we haven't heard yet any read out about the content of the call. it began around 3 o'clock eastern time. that's the time here in washington dc. he held 3rd video virtual talks of the number of european leaders leaders of ne, towed up road leaders from both france, italy, the u. k. so a pretty wide range of discussions taking place there. this follows a meeting that the president biden had over the weekend with members of his national security staff while he was at camp

the united states has been clear. if this is truly about russia's security concerns in europe, we are offering them an opportunity to address these concerns at the negotiating table. the test, the rushes good faith in the coming days and weeks is whether they will come to that table and stay at that table until we reach an understanding. if they refused to do so, the world will know why. and who is responsible fellow members of the council and other you and member states. we urge you to assess not only russia statements, but their actions with clear eyes to evaluate the risk. this press. this presents not just to ukraine's border and his people, but to all of us and to speak clearly and forcefully in favor of the path of diplomacy rather than the path of conflict. thank you madam president. i thank the representative of the united states and i give this thought, we can all just wait and see the warning there from the us ambassador to the united nations, linda thomas greenfield, explaining that in hopes back to russia'

the united nations on the u. s. are calling for the immediate release of the deposed president rockmart cabaret let. so get an update from sam at nick, who is joining us now of ice guy from the capital itself a while guy do. who so, sam, what are people most concerned about now in the country? i think people, i mean yesterday, as you said, there was a routing and people were really excited in on board with military. and i think that is still the feeling right now. but there's a lot of questions we haven't really heard from the military, from distance monday since they put out that that general statement on the state broadcaster, i think people are wondering what our next steps. who are they willing to work with? you know, what are their plans? are they, you know, are they willing to work with civil society, which political groups are they going to work with? and then i think there are big questions as well in terms of the security vacuum. you know, they think that they can secure the country better than the presiden

we're it's all part of our program to become member of the territorial defense unit. they are run by regular military officers or combat veterans like ego region of who 1st served in the den soviet army. boom, ninja, dublin luma would go on. i don't feel comfortable fighting. the russians were all slavic, but we're on our own land. we haven't defended. we understand the situation, it's not nice to kill someone, but sometimes we have to, i feel responsible for these young people. there are arch similar drills are happening all over, you call it. the government is hoping to form up to $25.00 brigades to be deployed in cities around the country. last year, parliament passed a law that allows ordinary citizens to join these territorial defense units. now they are part of the country strategic defense when their role is to provide popular resist, veronica. 2 martin case, the ukranian army is overwhelmed. these units are now part of the military, alongside the navy, air force and army. 32 percent of ukrainians say they are willing to enlist. they won't carry heavy weaponry.

and i also think that demographic changes in the united states that will make the united states a minority white country by 2045 will also change the political realities of the country. and political parties will need to adapt to that. but none of those things are going to help us for 2024. and that's the problem because the mid term elections coming up this year in november, the republicans are going to win the house. they may win the senate. they're probably going to win a lot of key state legislatures and gubernatorial races that are critical for certifying the 2024 election. and trump, who continues to persist in advancing belie that the election was stolen, rigged against them, is running the republican party and the near term challenge that your pessimism that's not getting addressed even by biden's speech to that. and let's talk about something else in the interim, and that is the actual january 6 investigation that their committee, a lot of point made, that it is led by a prominent republican, less chinese. but again, what do you actually expect that to? well, what will it achieve

and that the attentions are soaring off the back of the actions of nato and the united states. and that their information is creating hysteria. this is the word we've heard over and over again by the russian government being used to describe the situation that is now a created in terms of how the western and nato countries are seeing the situation alongside the borders of russia and ukraine. the russians are saying that the western information is quote laced with lies and that this is all part of an attempt to try and a false flag. it's sort of false flag operation alongside that border. and that's the tensions are on the rise because the ukraine is building up their troops near the contact line between russia and ukraine in the eastern part of the ukraine. this is something that we've heard over and over again. there is still, of course, a lot of concern here, and the russians for their part are not standing by watching events on fold in brussels. they've said that they will continue to move their military hardware and troops to their borders wherever they see fit. and they're

this potentially could be a historic storm here in the entire northeast of the united states. so let's 1st talk about new york though. then i'll get to the rest. we're in the heart of time square. and if they say the time squares across the roads of the world right now, this crossroads is cold. wet and snowy. we're right on broadway street here. just give you a little idea of how much snow has actually fallen. as you said, i mean it's not uncommon for snow to fall this time a year in new york. this is winter here, but this is a particularly large storm. in fact, they're calling it a bomb site clone. in fact, in the intensity. and it's really the blowing snow, the amount of wind is bringing the snow here just in new york, we're talking about it could see parts of new york 30 centimeters of snowfall right now. the temperatures are about minus 10 degrees celsius. but there's lots of tourists out here that we've been talking to tours from france from italy elsewhere . that said, we're in new york, we're going to get photos and have fun and get some pictures here. and it is fun. i
