trying to complete the journey. that archman could not steadfastly al jazeera or any key at the polish border. or i will as show you where all of this is happening . all this year, migrants have been crossing from beller roost to europe through lamphier lithuania and poland. the u accuses president lucas shanker. of luring them there and retaliation for sanctions against his country. but a recent days the situation has escalated dramatically on the poland. belarus border with huge numbers of migrants massing despite the freezing temperatures. the u. s. as lucas shank, as activities aim to distract from russia's activity, is on its border with ukraine. as many as a 100000 russian troops estimated to have mast, their sparking fears of a possible invasion. in recent weeks, sir, we have seen large and unusual concentrations over russian forces so close to cranes, sir borders. and they,

it further publication her or aggressive actions by russia would be of serious concern. we call on russia to be transparent about its military activities. it is important to prevent escalation and reduce tensions. the u. s. state department says russia has tested an anti satellite missile against one of its own satellites in a test that generated a dangerous amount of space to every it force the 7 astronauts on board. the international space station, 2 of them russian to seek shelter in their docked capsules. spokesperson ned price said the test generated more than $1500.00 pieces of debris. ah, donald trump's former political advisor, steve bandon, has appeared in court hours after he surrendered to the fbi. i in washington

d. c. he's facing contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with the congressional investigation into the attack on the u. s. capital particle haine. reports from washington d. c. swarmed by cameras, stephen ban and turned himself into the f. b. i. the former advisor to donald trump remained defiant. i want you guys to stay focused on messrs. reverend signal, not noise. this is all noise. this is all about january, since the storming of the capital in an attempt to stop joe biden from becoming president on his radio show. the day before ben in warned all hell was going to break loose the next day. so now the congressional committee investigating the insurrection wants to know what he knew and what he may have done in the lead. up to that day, he ignored their subpoena for his testimony and his records claiming executive privilege which legal experts say is unlikely to stand up. the united states supreme court in 234 years as never sustained an executive privilege. with regard

to communications from someone who is a private citizen, not an officer. i even with regard to officials who serve in the white house, the committee is hoping these charges will make other trump allies think twice before ignoring their request. as for bannon leaving court avow to fight, i'm never going to back down and they, they took on the wrong guy. the guy and rob court can't make bad and testify. they can make him pay a price for not doing so. potentially sending him to prison for up to a year. particle haine al jazeera washington. and if you last time the u. s. and chinese president, so due to hold of virtual summit, it comes to the time of escalating tensions between the 2 global powers. the status of taiwan political freedoms in hong kong and human rights concerns over the we go . so all of the heart of the deepening discord as alan fisher reports. ah, the summit spiritual, the tension real

u. s. president joe biden wanted to meet his chinese counterpart, jean ping in passion, but the chinese leader rejecting all external invites the fight. the u. s. wants to push ahead flags the importance of a bilateral relationship which has hit still meet. i would argue that the western relationship is at one of its most parents moments and it's been in for quite some time. china says it's ready to work with us to get the relationship back on track. the 2 superpowers. if she had interest, there's the fight against corporate, the problems with the global supply chain and global warming. joe biden has a 2 conversations with jean ping since he moved in to the oval office. the 1st didn't happen until february, that delay seen by some as a deliberate snob for beijing. the 2nd conversation was in september, but joe biden was very critical of gee's decision not to go to the climate summit and glasgow essentially saying that if you want to be considered a world leader,

you have to actually show up to lead that our tensions between the 2, most notably over the chinese crack don't on pu democracy protesters in hong kong. the treatment of mainly muslim wiggers in china and chinese military exercises near taiwan, which the u. s. has promised to defend one top u. s. official says china's economic growth is changing the global landscape. we're witnessing one of the largest ships in global geostrategic power that the world is works and it only happens once in a while. china does one conflict with united states just like new york, one china. and so i think that the idea in the summit is essentially an offer. it's an opportunity for the 2 sides to lower the temperatures and take stock or working relationship. some it's really happen without something to show for it. so there could be movement on trade visa restrictions, and perhaps even small moves on nuclear weapon. both sides want to move from

confrontation to cooperation. but both sides need to agree. that is the next step. i'll and fisher, i'll just either at the white house or i will for more or less less get sir more from our white house correspondent, kimberly how kids are. kimberly, as we heard therein. allen's report virtual meeting, but very real concerns was the mood music like going into these talks? well, we're not expecting this to be a particularly combative face to face conversation. i'll be it virtual. instead, what we expect in a senior miss ministration official telling us that this is likely to be sort of laying the groundwork if you will, to make sure that there are no future misunderstanding. so this is expect to be somewhat of an orderly conversation. and to in the words of this official really set what they call common sense guard rails, for some of the thorny or issues which may be discussed at a later time. for example, not only the issues and differences over supply chain, but also particularly when it comes to trade. so this is going to be about trying

to lower the temperature, particularly since it was so heightened under donald trump. joe biden's predecessor . what we also know is that the u. s. president is going into this conversation very strong. he's got some sagging poll numbers here domestically, but he's just signed some bipartisan legislation. that $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure deal. this is to create jobs, and that is certainly going to be something that he's going to want to tout as he addresses some of the issues that stand between these 2 leaders. and that is particularly when it comes to concerns about the trading practices of china and the impact on the global economy. so less combustor for more constructive, especially when it comes to trade. but do you get the sims? but the boy to the administration is prepared to reaffirm its commitment to defending human rights when it comes to the week is or indeed the sovereignty of taiwan itself. these appears to be elephants in the room that they may well have to

skirt around during these talks. there's no question joe biden is a frank speaker, and he really does level with people. and this is something that his administration has underscored as a priority when it comes to concerns about human rights. that is the elephant, the room. but there's no question that it may come up is one of the conversation points, but we do know that in terms of the agenda that the administration has tried to steer the president into some specifics. they're looking to address, for example, not just human rights, but also the provocations against taiwan cybersecurity. but we also expect that china may come up with some of its concerns or topics that it feels are important. for example, a, we expect that there may be an invitation by president she to president biden for him to attend the winter olympics in 2022. it's something we don't expect him to, except he'll probably send us some sort of representative. but it certainly is

something that could come up. so we're watching very carefully to see what some of these other issues that might be brought up from the chinese side that the united states may not have identified. but in all the administration really trying to lower the temperature and all of this tried to lower expectations in the hopes that they can come to some agreement on some key issues where they do feel they have some commonalities. for example, combating climate change is one add also again setting that sort of economic conversation moving forward so that the sort of geopolitical conversation may have some positive impact and not have some of the concerns. there's been that there may be lasting damage over some of these disruptions and trade that we've seen already between these 2 economies. it's really have a global impact. all right, kimberly, how could up the white house? thank you. sales account this half hour. the u. k raises it's tara threat level, after taxi explodes outside

and i think it'll be fairly sundry over it on the coast of queens and, and maybe as far south as sydney looks fairly dry. now what it's still a slow warming trend. the rainy season is pretty wide spread in indonesia, malaysia, not necessarily so, but the rains a long way north. and it shouldn't really be in cambodia at this time the but it still left and now we got this tongue of rain in southern china again, unusual, but not that rare. have to cite, it doesn't stay for too long. but it does look quite poking by. gwilym, for example, as for the right has been affecting southern, and it's still there, but more on the west side than the east. and there it will stay. ah. the step beyond the comfort zone were assumptions or challenge. travel to the ends of the earth and further experience,

the unimaginable and the people who live it. this is probably the most extreme situation i've been involved in how quickly things contract award winning documentary is that also a perception witness. on al jazeera lou ah, reminder of the top stories here on al jazeera, the european union is stepping up its sanctions targets in belarus. as a migrant crisis on its eastern border west. thousands of migrants of a mass on the border with poland and freezing conditions. the u. s. as the crisis is aimed at distracting from a significant russian military build up on the border with ukraine. nato secretary

general has called a russia to be transparent about its activities to prevent an escalation. and donald trump was former political advisor. steve bannon has appeared and caught off the handing himself into the f. b i. he's facing contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with an investigation to the attack on the u. s. capital lawyers are making that closing arguments in the trial if the american, teenager cow rittenhouse, he's charged with murdering to men of wounding a 3rd after he opened fire with a semi automatic rifle during black lives matter protests. he's made it not guilty and says he acted in self defense, but face is life in prison. if convicted by a jury will earlier his defense, he managed to have one of the charges dismissed, which 100 is live in kenosha, wisconsin, jaundra. of course, this is a politically and racially charged case. it's wrapping up. what are you hearing in

these closing hours? what is winding down right now and essentially the arguments are the kyle, written house is either a defender who is protecting is life against the angry mob or a provocative for who set that crowd off and then gun down, members of that crowd. the defense is currently finishing its arguments and its arguments are that kyle written house was a young 17 year old white kid who came here to protect the town where his father live armed with a 15 assault rifle. and along with a number of other similar people who looked like militia members were protecting property and trying to keep things from getting out of hand on the 2nd night of a black lives matter protest here. but the prosecution is telling a very different story. after the members of this crowd, one in particular, she's down kyle written house. in the middle of this malay,

written house turned around, fired 4 shots in killed jacob, broken down. now, at that point, the prosecution argues that he was not justified in doing so. but secondly, he says after that written house turned around and continued running through the crowd. and at that point, the prosecution says it was the crown that was entitled to defend themselves. that they were under attack by this provocative sure, he was provoking the crown by 1st carrying in a r 15 assault weapons. and then secondly, by pointing it at people in a couple of instance, that's the argument of the prosecution. and they say that he had a number of other options beyond just turning round and firing on to other people, killing a 2nd person in injuring a 3rd. so the prosecutor case is turning that self defense argument on its head. the defense is saying, this is a young kid who was being chased by people who was just trying to defend himself, but it's divided the nation. and most people in the u. s. has already decided who

they believe based on their view of whether this was a matter of someone defending their own rights. among them, the right to carry a weapon or the right to free protest without being interfered with by what they view as a provocative, don ended in kenosha, wisconsin. thank you. you k, his res, it's tara threat level to severe. after a taxi exploded outside a hospital in liverpool, on sunday, british prime minister boys johnson says it was a reminder of the need to remain vigilant. police have declared it an act of terror and a questioning 4 men. they've named the man who died as 32 year old, m at al swale mean that he baba reports the drop off pointed liverpool women's hospital in northwest england. it's just before 11 a. m and a taxi arrives. there's an explosion then the driver can be seen getting out and several people rushed to help him. he was injured but has now been released from hospital. by the time fire crews arrived,

women's hospital is unknown. as is the reason for its sudden explosion. the police say the passenger had asked to go to the hospital, but they're checking whether there's any link with remembered stay events near by. on sunday, the dean baba al jazeera, an american journalist sentence to 11 years in j. mia mon friday has been released from prison. donnie fenster was arrested 6 months ago and charged with incitement as well as terrorism and sedition. he stopped off in dough on route to the u. s. natasha named spoke to him just off to his plane, touched down. ah danny fencer cast a frail figure as he stepped off the plane that carried him out of me and mark and home to freedom. the 37 year old american journalist spoke to reporters briefly before stepping into an ambulance for a medical check. he had spent almost 6 months in prison filling all right,
