and feel some the b, b, c. thank you very much. and can i presume ukraine's coral minister, his deputy defense minister is quoted as saying western intelligence suggests as a high probability of destabilization by, by russia in ukraine before christmas. can you just spell out what that is? and then i would also like to our secretary general of stilton bag. if well, what is his assessment of what rushes intentions are at the moment, given that there is a significant build up russian military build up in the region. thank you very much . it is pretty much sure to say what exactly will do right, will be the russian scenario, whether the military build up is the main, the main plan, and it will be accompanied by efforts to disturb the lies ukraine from the inside or whether the military build up will serve as a background force as

a bare ground argument for destabilizing efforts undertaking by russia domestically . we have to be ready for all scenarios for all options, but more importantly, or what and we have to strengthen the resilience of ukraine towards against the scenarios. but what more in what is more important, is that all of us have to ukraine and the allies have to close the coordinate and take any measures which can help to deter russia and to prevent the worst case scenarios. because whatever the price of these deterrence measures is, the price of actually stopping the heated face of the conflict will be much higher . so what we see in on their own, okay now is a large or recent military buildup. we see an unusual concentration of forces.

and we also know that russia has demonstrated that both the a will and the capability to use military force against ukraine before we saw that when they illegally annexed from ya. and we have seen it over many years in the way they operate to the support or the separatists in don was so therefore of course, i think it, none of us should speculate too much. but, but the fact is that we see an unusual concentration of forces omitted that russian canvas. and that we have seen that russia has demonstrated the will to use these forces against the neighbors, ukraine, georgia. and also the course they have demonstrated against and mold all over many years. and therefore we call on herschel to be transparent on their a military activities to, to reduce attentions,

i'm to prevent an escalation on this is occur message from all $9.00. and i also discussed the visitation, or with the foreign minister could able during our meeting today, go to the national news agency ukraine, augmented program. national news as your for crane sector general as known, nato have a forward presence in the baltic states in poland. so that helen nato troops. i involved in the current crisis situation in a border, a, so far in nato, and her to minister clever if it's possible. i'm currently, ukraine is very forcing the border reside bella rush. miller of a. is it enough forces for in ukraine to cover both both russian and easton direction, in fact, of that maneuver could be like considered like a destructive move. thank you so much. naples presence in the,

in the black sea region, the in the baltic region is a defensive presence, or we have increased army purposes or in eastern part of the line. so since 2014, as a result of a rush of aggressive actions against that ukraine. but these are the pro months, these of these presence is, is defensive or of course. and it also has presence in the black sea region portals because some, a field of black sea estates are nato members, romania, a bulgaria and turkey. and then 2 articles of partners for georgia and the ukraine . so of course we exercise, we operate, we are present in this region, but this is no fact to russia. this is entirely defensive of military presence.

and it also sense of a closing symbol that nate was there to defend allies against any flat on. this is important that we demonstrate the strength and redness of an axle in a more unpredictable acute environment. i wish the bell russian leadership was friendly towards ukraine. i wish that we could consider our northern flank as a safe place. but unfortunately, this is not the case. oh, from a military perspective of course, and the more directions of threat you have, the more dangerous your situation is. but i would like to reassure you that the korean government is taking every measure or sync operation with our close as partners to reinforce our north flank, to ensure that our country is protected from all sides

will. so that is a life press conference going on right now in brussels between the nato secretary general, as well as the ukranian minister of foreign affairs. and what they've been discussing is the russian build up of troops on the border of ukraine. nato's secretary general has said that russia has demonstrated the will and capabilities he use military force against ukraine before. and the ukrainian foreign minister has express concern saying that russia can quickly activate a mass troops on the border. and every option is on the table for moscow, both men urging russia to reduce tensions and show transparency and the secretary general. also saying that nathan was there to defend all its allies in the face of any threats. just a reminder that this comes after allegations, by the ukrainian presidents, that there are a 100000 russian soldiers near ukraine's border. that's according to

officials in ukraine. let's bring in natasha butler. she's joining us from paris, natasha listening into to that. what do you think is the take away message and what will happen next? or the big message a fall nato's, a secretary general yen stoughton burke was that he called on russia to be transparent. he said in moscow's intentions, with his troops along the ukrainian border. he said there had been, his words were an unusual concentration of forces along that border between a russia and the ukraine. and according to some western intelligence officials were talking about tens of thousands of russian troops and salt and berg said that nato a must understand better what russia is doing with those troops along the border. that there is a risk the russia could use force because it has been known to use force in the

past whether that's been in ukraine in georgia or in 2014, when it illegally annexed at the crimea, or something began. so some burg reiterated. he said, of course, the later does not recognize that annexation of the current crime in peninsula in 2014. or there has been, of course, going concern over the past few weeks about, about the russian a suppose a troop build up on that border. we know that a, some european diplomat say that u. s. officials have warned that rushers perhaps planning a possible attack on that border. and on friday, when russia's a foreign minister sat a gay lover of was in france, he was meeting french, a foreign ministry. officials say a french, a foreign ministry officials said to sergei, loved off the russia must be fully clear and transparent in its attentions. and also it must do everything it could to protect and respect ukrainian,

a territorial sovereignty. so a lot of things to come out of that passcode conference, also interesting from ukraine's foreign minister. he was standing next to the secretary general. he said that russia's actions whether it be with a supporting, been diverse. we're seeing the migrant crisis there between buttress and poland. he said whether it's the energy crisis, whether it's this true build up on the cranium border. this information campaign, he said, he said, all of these point to what he called a hybrid war by russia on europe. i did satellite ok. thank you. natasha butler for that update from paris. so you just heard, beller was mentioned in that press conference in european powers are stepping up the pressure again, speller is over the migrant cases. building up along the border with poland. you for a ministers are meeting in brussels, where they're expected to announce new sanctions against entities and misc the bella russian president and says he will retaliate if that happened. having

a state of emergency and exclusions on next to the border. so we can't really go up to it on this side and tell you what the polish troops are doing or the polish forces doing to keep people that. but it doesn't seem to be deterring anyone, and we are hearing that. and it is a push from the ben ritchie inside those people that are stuck on that side too. again today this morning to try and get past an ascent. and there is a push as well, from european countries, just sort of turn up the pressure on beller roost. and what are the latest on the political attempts to solve this crisis? well, you're paying foreign ministers ah, meeting to discuss a new round of sanctions against by the rule that the business in president, alexander lucas shank has started to retire if that's the case and even threaten to cut off gas supply. but there is also a push to try to resolve this, not for russian president vladimir putin. a 1st denied that has any involvement in

our big was already a power for regional brand. with an international outreach. the mission of english was to build on that momentum which it did into yes. the new channel host initial aim was 20000000 subscribers, was able to reach 18000000. it's exclusive coverage of the israeli war on gathering 2008 made it stand out among giant world competitors with regional hubs in though how london washington, dc and quite a lumper, the vast network of correspondence and social media platforms. it was able to provide the most comprehensive news coverage from the middle east, africa, asia, europe, and the americas. the focus was on human stories. this meant take risks, reaching remote areas and challenging government censorship. i was just there, a champion, the coverage of what became known as the arab spring. we were really a platform for those who were you for crowds,

if you like. whereas across the world, people who are demanding freedom people who are defending democracy before their struggle defended is armed conflicts. we faced many, many challenges over the years by while while covering conflicts and some of the most trouble region. wild covering protest in egypt for odyssey, english journalists were jailed on false charges for nearly 2 years. the thing is we were doing our job as a professional journalist in egypt. and at some point this did not make the government in egypt happy. you didn't want anybody to report anything, but what do they see as a truth? so it was a shock. people came a restless, just simply for 2 reasons. one, they don't want the truth to prevail for people. the 2nd thing they want to intimidate other for enjoy, or enjoy us. in general. in cairo, undaunted, the channel went ahead, gaining more popularity and winning awards. it managed to reverse the direction of

the news flow, given a stronger voice to the global south. yeah. in 15 years of english, how solidified it's a global footprint and continues its commitment to viewers by bringing to light stories that are otherwise less covered. hum advice. as dizzy le charles trundle is the managing director of al jazeera english. he says the range and scope of the channels coverage distinguishes itself from other international networks. we are a channel that is not based in a traditional power center, so we're not from london. we're not from washington, went from paris, nor berlin. or we are, we are in a, in a, in a region of the world which isn't used to having international news channels based . and so by having, by being based here, and along with our editorial perspective, which is to provide all perspectives and alternative perspectives. so that makes it really important that i think out of the english has such

a wide range and scope and depth in its coverage. unlike many other or most other news organizations, we've been doing voice the voiceless for every day, every hour, every day for the past 15 years coverage. we've done on the climate change and, and the cop some of the packages from the field. and earlier this year as well, about climate showing the effects of this climate emergency that we're going through on everyday people. and often it's the most poor and marginalized communities that are suffering are on the front line of climate change. some of those stores that we've done among everything else, i think have been really powerful and telling the human story. it's really important that we continue with the technological revolution and wherever that is going. and where on the platforms to provide our audience is what they need. but at the same time, stick to the core editorial values. unhealthy air in new delhi will keep millions
