risk in it all, al jazeera, ah mold and untold stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera. ah, us and russian diplomats meat and geneva as tension grows over russia's troop, build up on the border with ukraine. ah, hello and welcome. you're watching al jazeera live from the ha. my name's peter toby. you are the top stories cassock, stones president, describes the recent anti government protests as an attempt to coo and says the security threat has been quashed. miss moss, i was to lead to anson suit. she is found guilty,

she now faces an additional 4 years in jail. and molly and government vows to retaliate after west african countries and post tough sanctions over its political crisis. ah. okay, let's get going. your top story, us and russian diplomats have wrapped so wrapped up the 1st meetings in a week of diplomacy. aimed at deescalate the tensions on the border with ukraine. moscow has spent the last few months building up its forces on ukraine's eastern flank racing fears about an invasion, the us and its allies of want of strong measures. if russia launches military action ahead of the talks in geneva, moscow set several conditions at once. guarantees that nato will not accept any new members, and that ukraine will not be allowed to join the military alliance. aggressor is not in a position to put conditions until the russian tanks is out of ukrainian border. we

see as russia attempts to shift the discussion by threatening with the new war without moving any step forwards, peaceful settlement would meet with an mask in normandy formats. what russia is doing is trying to impose its agenda instead of returning to the negotiation table . nato assert to hold his own talks with russia on wednesday earlier, the secretary general young stilton berg repeated. it's wanting to moscow about the troop. build up the rushes military build up continuous and with 10, so 1000 us over combat the read the troops are and with the have the capabilities on friday night thought for a ministers called again. russia to remove its forces from ukraine on them from your borders. demonstrate transparency on the escalates any further aggression against ukraine would come at the high political and

economic price. rosalind jordan has more from washington d. c. there certainly has been aid tempering of expectations on the american side. a real sense that today they're not going to be able to find a real breakthrough on a number of, of convoluted conflated crises of the top of which is the situation with ukraine. but the americans are saying that they're hoping to at least establish the turf for continue discussions. now of course, they have been meeting of face to face the deputy secretary, a, wendy sherman for the americans, sergey rubicon, the deputy foreign minister for the russians in geneva on monday are those meetings are still under way out, should be wrapping up. we think in the next couple of hours, but the real concern is trying to one figure out where they can actually try to deal with, with each other's demands. the u. s. does not want to see an invasion of ukraine,

but it also does not want russia to continue other destabilizing activities, including its deployment of medium range missiles along its borders of facing western europe. as you noted, the russians want to the u. s. and nato to bassett, basically back away from la thereof, from the russian borders, and not at mit, any more countries, particularly those countries that used to be a part of the soviet union. staying with us story, little earlier, i spoke to pet true book of skill. he's a senior fellow at the democratic initiatives foundation in key if he explained to me what russia wants to achieve with these talks. i see you that 3 major goals actually today. the 1st on is kind of mine in the united states, among the european countries. and try to show that the united states is ready to discuss. very important to us security issues with an officer defined behind the

scenes to get with it off. and secondly, that russia wants to show defiance of any future function. and also wants to demonstrate that you thanks and are implemented that the regulate selectively to the selected european nations like germany, utility reducing, all cutting off i got supplied. and one of the most important goals right now for the roster in these negotiation is to discourage the united states army central european nations that join me to opt in 1997. that was why today, very clearly that was this message was made today, but it's literally about discovery to states army sandstone, europe, animations, a russia adoption that took a knife that is part of part of the conflict in they use your brain. you've tried to pretend that civil war and you're trying to hide the,

the presence of the regular russian troops on the ground. so that means that there be all dogs that can start only off to the moment. then russia recognize this, actually, it's a part of the conflict, and this is the most difficult task for the americans. and for the fam diplomats to persuade russians that gets better to recognize that we are in war right now, then to deny the effect and to continue preparation for the new invasion. the president of catholics dawn has described days of anti government protest as an attempted coup. casem german class says he learns the new government line up on tuesday, the russian president vladimir putin, says peacekeeping troops sent to quote, the violence in the former soviet state will stay until the situation in his words stabilize these completely. at least a 160 people were killed and 8000 arrested during last week's protest. sponsored by rising fuel prices and continuing authoritarian move is still

a group of armed militants who were waiting in the wings joined the action. the main goal became obvious, the undermining of the constitutional order, the destruction of the institutions of government, the seizure of power. we are talking about an attempt to do who they tell us. robin christie walker has worn out from tbilisi in georgia. this meeting that took place between the heads of the c s t o members states i was really about showing. that said they consider this deployment that cassock stands and has been overrule, rather at an important success story for the security block. president talk, i have said he really, that he owed it to the arrival of c s t o n. a military contingent, the 1st aircraft, because they had prevented these so called armed groups of bandits and terrorists from progressing further with their ids attempted coo and taking control of administrative centers around kazakhstan. now i each,

it really remains up for a president to kind of as far as he's concerned for the so called anti terror operation. a continue, it's clean up in its pursuit of all those people accused of involvement in the violence that we saw it take place in our marty, and in other cities across kazakhstan. earlier this week, i caught me in mar, her sentence, the ousted leader anson suit. she to 4 years in jail, said she was on trial for illegally possessing walkie talkie radios and breaking corona virus restrictions. the sentence comes on top of a 2 year jail term handed down in december is tony chang. as she cast her ballot in 2019 election, it looked as if man mars democratic future was assured. 14 months later hung sand, so she may well spend the rest of her life in detention. dorothy de hours at the

latest round of sentencing amounts to an extra 4 years. in addition to a previous sentence, 2 years ago, 2 of the cases in which he was found guilty with the illegal possession of walkie talkies charged that some say one is an example of how tramped up the accusations against her ah walkie talkies belong to the body guards provided to her by the ministry of home affairs and yes, who runs the ministry home affairs. it's a, it's a ranking military officer per the 2008 constitution. so, you know, the military should be actually charging itself with malfeasance in bringing in on license walkie talkies rather than the person who's a house. they happened to find them in hung, san sushi and her party, the national league for democracy, of one every election in myanmar since 2012 by a substantial margin. if as the military government has proposed, new elections are held, she would be a very difficult opponent to beat. although her international reputation was tarnished when she appeared to defend the actions of near mars military fritz crack

down against for a hang of muslims, she remains an icon for democracy at home. but despite her detention for the past 11 months, resistance to the military coup, remain strong. whether it be uncensored, she or the president of me, and more or any one else of the thousands and thousands who have been arrested and detained and are facing trumped up charges. ah enough is enough. this is unacceptable. and will not be accepted by, by the international cri, age, 76. uncensored. she has already spent decades of her life in detention this latest sentence. and the outstanding charges she still faces could remove her from the political stage for the foreseeable future. ah, but a new generation of protest is taken to the street since the military coup. their persistence suggests they'll continue the fight for democracy with or without fo

a virus restrictions. now it's been 273 days in the may. king, but the people of the netherlands finally have a new government parliamentary elections were held last march. but the coalition wasn't announced until a month ago, after being sworn in by the dutch king vill hm, alexander, the government will now decide if they will extend. what are europe's toughest cupid 19 restrictions? step boston is in the hague. nearly a year then atlanta has had this caretaker government off the previous government had to step down and it's a childcare benefits scandal. so the longest negotiation since in history basically basically has taken place since the election has been nearly 300 days now. now this government is being florida and right behind me at the palace in the hey, the main issue here is that the main that the prime minister is going to be to say . and the for coalition partners from the previous government are still the

government today. menaces are also, many of them are the same. some have to have moved around to have different positions, but it's still very much a similar cabinets as the alans had before. the main question is, what change can they bring? and also the damage of course, have been raising really hot here in the novel until one of the issues is can this trust be restored? that happens during this political crisis. but also during this been that make, the government has been criticized for not having a vision here, a strategy during this over and that may get in the last 2 years. the knowledge was all for quite late with the fact to nation policies. there is a strict or lockdown in place in the novel as compared to other european countries . one of the reasons for that is that the booster campaign was also very late to start. so there's a lot of need here for, for the vision to come out. he was president, daniel ortega is sent to be sworn in for

a 4th term. his opponents condemn what they say was his rigged reelection. victory in november, several opposition candidates were arrested during campaigning and independent election observers, as well as journalists were banned. the former leader of the sandinista revolution is eligible for another 5 years in office, along with his wife rosario murillo, who is vice president and latin america edison, the c and human now from the chilean capital santiago. the european union does not recognize the results of november's elections. neither does the united states, canada. it's a long, long list. i think the really interesting question is, who is actually going to attend the inauguration? that is a representative of china, russia, iran, and venezuela, cuba and bolivia, as well as argentina. interestingly enough, just a short while ago mexico decided to pull out mexico usually does not get involved in these disputes. and since our representatives turn observations of all countries

in the region, regardless of whether the elections are considered legitimate or not. but what happened was that none of the competitive candidates were allowed to run. they were either most of them or the vast majority of them were imprisoned or were forced to go into exile. and so the, the election was widely viewed as a sham. in fact, over the ortega government said that it had won by 80 percent or more of the votes, even though they were there was a record abstention rate in that election. and it's so there really is very little credibility. but at this point, my impression is that president, daniel ortega and his wife or asylum, what do you really don't care how they are being viewed abroad? they do have strong allies, as i mentioned, russia, china, iran, also to an, a certain extent, turkey. and of course, governments like venezuela that can help provide petrol to that country oil full to electric heat. soon as being blamed for an apartment building fire in new york city,

which killed 19 people including 9 children, at least 60 other people were taking the hospital. many with life threatening injuries. his barbara ango. oh, my god. this michael j's. if i lived in this affordable housing block for 6 years, it took him 35 minutes to escape the fire as the smell, cuz i think i've never seen it the like this. i don't know what causes their flight tag broken up like this is really tried to get 9 children died in the fire, and many families have lost everything. the new york marys preparing to support the community and grief many of these young children went to schools. we will have a social and emotional support at their schools to help the classmate a we're here as well with the red cross and o e m, i was going to coordinate together to get housing. and also some of the emergency

needs, ah, most of the people who lived in the town block when muslim. and some of the men moved here from gambia. they're being urged not to fair asking for help, even if they don't have the correct immigration status. no, that if you need assistance, oh you, your names would not be turned over to eyes or any other institution or we want people to be comfortable and come in for it. oh, got a maybe a compensation fund is being prepared for those affected by the fire, but this cause may take longer to heal barbara anger. pat al jazeera, l k workers in india as well as the of a sixties and are eligible to have corona virus booster. shots, army kron infections are being blamed for spiking cases. experts v a repeat of last year's high infection rate as traditional mask gatherings of worshippers argue soon . hope natal has borne out from new delhi. oh,

this is one of the millions of loose those as being rows out in india as of now front line workers and people about 60 with underline health conditions are eligible to receive these. there are 2 vaccine for this. the indian need ask susanna car called coffee. she is, and the home grown vaccine called cool vaccine. people are advised to get the same vaccine. they got the last time i came in to see jeanette in boarding for you to get vaccinated because the cases aint using and as a to 0 hypertensive patient. so we don't want to take any time. i think the booster will be helpful in boosting out because we were supposed to have here working with us runs to get to the vaccine the completed more 9 months. all of us have completed that month. and so i guess it makes sense for you guys to get the total jobs in india have now cross one and a half 1000000000 just last week, teams between 15 and 18 started getting there. those are all of this comes as corbett. 19 cases, fueled by the omicron very have surge across the country,

fronting many states to step up restrictions. authorities have all to suspended election valley ahead of state falls next month. no hospitalizations from call with 19 had remained relatively low, especially among the vaccinated. while most eligible people have received their 1st door, many often to receive the 2nd. so bridging that gap and getting more people to be fully vaccinated is the big challenge and focus for the government. anyone using public transport in italy now has to show a vaccine certificate before they can travel this, the government tries to stop the spread corona virus. the trouble policies are available to everyone who sent post to actual recently recovered from cobit 19. the rise in the italian infection rate is particularly concerning teachers and students who've come back to school after the christmas holidays. millions of children in uganda have finally returned to class after almost 2 years. they've suffered the

world's longest disruptions to schools because of the pandemic. president, jewelry, my 70 credits uganda as high vaccination rates for the reopening. but you can see officials expect a 3rd of children not to return. most public schools haven't offered virtual lessons since they closed in march of 2020 kitchen sector as been heat hot. ah, you know, it is one of the biggest sectors in the country. ah, having our own over 15000000 students in the country now are but diminished of education also tried to print our walk, which was a distributed country wait for the pit is to see how do i says g r. that should win well at home? i think the schools have him have been closed and it has impacted us for so long and a lot. ah, depending on which, how many you come from?

the poor. the poor children from poor families have had to go long days working on the other. going to the market see their parents? others are staying home alone looking after their siblings as their parents work. and we have seen the numbers of pregnant girls increase the number tennis donovan jacobite shes when a court battle to stay in australia following his visa cancellation. now, he's treated a picture of himself back on a tennis court and said he's grateful. the judge overturned his removal from australia. he went on to say, he's focused on playing at the australian open despite everything that has happened . earlier large crowds of supporters gathered outside his lawyers office, celebrating his release from detention however, the immigration minister could still intervene with the decision expected on tuesday. jock of it was stopped at the border on wednesday nights and told he didn't qualify for medical exemption to enter australia because he's not vaccinated . that's despite paperwork saying he had recently recovered from cobit 19th. some

of his fancy, the court's decision doesn't rectify the government's handling of the situation almost with demolish in every way of the human being. he certainly the no one's with this country is built by humans. the way it comes to this is didn't come here to kill the hippa freedom well juggle, but she's family held a press conference in serbia. they say they're grateful for his release. we just have to think all. busy the people who, who have gathered in front of hotels where he stayed out for so many days and today for the officers of his lawyers for all. busy the supports for love and peace, they've been saying to him because that's one of the key points. and one of the

main reasons why we actually are sitting here today and why he actually won the case yesterday. milan school, which has more for us from belgrade. it's been a roller coaster for norma jock of a chan, his family, and they're great paula. and how to know like a winning the court battle in melbourne against the government of australia. now there's not a battle. they say that number has to win on the court. and as the one where he feels the best against the best dentist players in a family a day seemed to be very optimistic. that won't be any more turnarounds about the whole saga. that's been happening for the last 5 days. no one has been granted o'shelley and visa then it was cancelled. finally granted again, no that was practicing at rod laver arena, but the problem at the moment is there is still one person that can cancel the visa and as the australian minister of immigration, they hope is not going to happen. and that this story is over,

there was super happy. they said that it's just gonna make non of joke, which even more strong this, he's going to win a 10 more grand slams that he never ever wanted to be a part of the politics, but only was fighting for sports and for his human rights. and this is a big win for him as they say, and he will proven the attorney scores that this one will not cause his with any problems on the tennis court. and he will continue doing what he is best. and that's playing tennis. ah, exactly. 1630 gmc, these are your top stories so far today us and russian diplomats of wrapped up day, one of their security talks aimed deescalate intentions on the border with ukraine, the u. s. and its allies of want of strong measures. if russia launches military action rose jordan has more from washington the real concern is trying to one figure out where they.
