a big leap in medical science and american man becomes the 1st in the world to get a heart transplant from a thick ah us russian diplomats have wrapped up the 1st meetings in a week of diplomacy aimed a di, escalating the tensions only ukraine's border now moscow has spent the last few months gathering its forces on easter, an ukraine's eastern flank raising phase about an invasion for moscow. once guarantees that nato will not accept any new members, and that the ukraine will not be allowed to join the military alliance. jona hubbards, it is an achievement of sorts. the talks between russia and the united states in geneva didn't end in failure. they were never likely to be a major success. but while russia insisted it had no intention of invading ukraine, there remains little sign of an immediate him to the crisis. it's not

a situation where you re care, one way or another, he's in the vision. unfortunately, we have a great disparity principled approach as to the us and russia in some ways have was it the views on what needs to be done? us negotiators trod carefully. they promised they wouldn't be talk of ukraine security without ukraine present. this instead, a chance to air respective concerns and get a measure of russia's true intent with tensions at their highest since the end of the cold war points of dispute between russia and the u. s. are plentiful, but ukraine, this perhaps most urgent. russia has supported a separate in conflict there for a few years now. and the presence of a 100000 russian troops on ukraine's border threatens a new war in europe. russia wants legal guarantees that ukraine will never become

a member of the nato lines. a demand flatly rejected by western eyes. on monday, ukraine's deputy prime minister met the nato secretary general talks with russia will widen on wednesday to include nato members in brussels. and then the o, s. c, e, in vienna on thursday. what russia is doing is trying to impose its agenda instead of returning to the negotiation table. and we have stated very clearly that we will never compromise on the right for every nation in you'd have to choose his own path, including walt cornel security arrangements in one, sir, to be a part of earlier russia's deputy foreign minister suggested the u. s. had not taken seriously his country's demand that ukraine never be allowed to join nato. that's an ominous sign by continuing to press what is a solid western red line? russia may be showing its hand that president putin may not intend this week of

talks to succeed at all, but rather to use them as a pretext for war. jonah haul alto 0 there as the skeptical of russia's insistence that it's no planning and invasion of the ukraine as our diplomatic editor james base heard from the american ambassador. so the un ambassador, the deputy foreign minister of russia says they have no plans to invade ukraine. you are the u. s. official probably has more contact with the russians than any other you deal with them almost daily basis. do you believe him? i wish to believe him. i wish that it is true that they have no plans, but everything we've seen so far indicate that they are making motions in that direction. and if they have decided not to move forward because of our engagement with them over the course of the past few weeks with president biden speaking to president putin twice. ah, then that's a good thing. but we will continue to prepare and to plan for responding. should

they take any actions against ukraine? kimberly barton is a professor political science, a bernard college. she says it's good that the 2 sides talking, but this week's meetings may not do much. hello attentions. it's very unclear whether these talks will actually have any impact on decision making. i think his decision about what to do in ukraine will have much more to do with a cost benefit analysis of what russia would gain or lose by militarily intervening than it is by how these talk sco. i think that futon is just trying anything that he can to see what might work. but we also have to remember that the background is as a k g b officer. he very much enjoys using deception against his opponents. and so anything that appears to be what he's doing on the surface may not be what his actual intentions are underneath. i think it's significant that russia is meeting

with nato once again. because in october of 2021, russia temporarily at least withdrew from the nato russia council. in anger after i think it was 8 russian diplomats had been expelled from benito group as being undercover spies. so it's very significant that the talks are actually happening, that in itself is a sign of progress. but i think we should keep in mind that nato has 30 members who have very different interests from each other. and so we should not look at this as being russia nato negotiations, as much as it is just the opening of a conversation that could lead to some kind of arms control arrangement going forward. russia president his claim victory in defending ne, because extern from what he calls a foreign back uprising, 160 people, were killed during last week's anti government protest, which turned into the country's worst unrest and recent history. from him for a walk, a report from tbilisi for the moscow lead security block,

resisting groups to participate. so call me or i can say that the military didn't oppose our initiatives, and that is important. so i'm not talking about people jama. the military is present, and they have their own opinions and interests. but they didn't object the initiative . what they had a marley's transitional govern says he's ready to talk to west african leaders after they impose sanctions on his country. the echo ass block with the exception of guinea, made the move in response. the notary hunter pushing back elections until 2025. now the ins has recalled ambassadors, announced border closes and mid rising tensions. nicholas hack reports, a war torn country now isolated from its neighbors. there's a sense of panic and anger spreading in molly's capital, bama co. people rush to banks, petrol stations, and markets for provisions. after the west african body eco was announced. a rafter sanctions including the closing of air and land borders and the halting of financial transactions with west african countries. wondering what is it,

what it is um and fi? what molly wont be able to withstand the latest sanctions, we don't have access to the ocean and we need the ports of senegal and ivory coast to get goods into our country. for business owners, the economic sanctions are suicidal. in december, the transitional government led by the military gentle leader. i see me goat. i said it would delay presidential elections scheduled in february to another 5 years following national consultations on sunday, dismayed west african heads of sleep gathered to imposed further sanctions on molly . asking for return to civilian rule, donal phosphate as much as we are aware of the complex situation in the country. we think that all elliptical economical and social reforms looking to reshape molly can only be headed by democratically elected authority. greta orchestrated 2 successive crews in 2020, and in 2021. after detaining the president and prime minister, he named himself president of molly's transition. his transitional government was

quick to denounced the west african sanctions. with this announcement made on national television, the government money on don intersect, marie condemned. his sanctions are local and illegitimate. it's curious that these sanctions come at the time when the mullin army are making spectacular progress in the fight against terrorism. it's almost 10 years since french forces intervened in northern molly to repel armed groups linked to al qaeda. despite their presence and 14000 un peacekeepers, the security situation has deteriorated dramatically. millions of millions are displaced, unable to return home groups linked to iceland, elk ada are gaining grounds in central molly, i see me go to the government, hired russian fighters to help tackle the security situation. much to the ire for the former colonial power. france who announced a withdrawal of troops for the country's leadership bringing lasting peace. de molly means if you sacrifices in changing its relationship with both france and its

neighbors, no matter the cost. nicholas hawk al jazeera, now there are more people in the hospital recovered. 19 in the u. s. than ever before. in the last 3 weeks, the number has doubled to more than a 130000. it's as the country voted a 1000000 new cases in the past a. l. vishal say the sheer volume of infections is overwhelming. the countries hospital systems and they're also under strain because of staff shortages. eric fabled ng is an epidemiologist, the federation of american scientists in washington d. c. he now joined us by skype. from there, i don't heard are we at breaking point for the u. s. a health care system or we it's straining point us the health care systems really under her harsh, harsh pressure. and i cannot emphasize that we may have more beds. we don't have the staff to doctors and nurses,

the staff not. and i think that is the meaning problem, that if we're so under strain from cobit, that if you have a heart attack or stroke or car accident, it might be many, many hours before you get care, which means you might not live. and so the, oh, well, in excess of death the war curve will not just also be coded but also other diseases . and i think right now we're in the middle of the worst part of the peak. may it might get better in a few weeks, but i think this all of january will be a really, really bad period. all of us, it was always the big feather, was that for governments, it was health care systems being overwhelmed. and now we're seeing that not just in the u. s. by parts of europe as well, and south asians of america. so is there, is there a now a movement to say, well actually maybe we just have to have heard immunity. we just have to live with this and be down with the consequences. well, i think that's a very dangerous gamble in finland yesterday or was health minister warren that you

know, wanting to people could out long cove, it and long co. it doesn't even mean you would have to get a hospitalized. you could have miles or even asymptomatic cases and get on coke. that's the long term cost. so cove, it does live with the virus is a very, very dangerous line because it's used by many to say, let's get everyone infected and get it over with. and then we'll have her. but you know what, this is the 4th or 5th wave that the world has seen. and alma con is so evasive that even if you had previous immunity to alpha, marion's who hon. delta marion's on the cross or has almost no care about that. it has really high re infection, lates and really how vaccine penetration in many ways to stop the key to stopping it again. we cannot invent more doctors and nurses overnight. the key to stopping it is stopping and slowing transmission down. it's why we have to take of blanket societal measures, mass testing, mass vaccine requirements, masks,

mask mandates. and you know, mass val, ventilation, and air disinfection. sanders, we have to stop the transmission because even if it's slightly milder and it's not much milder, it's still more severe to move on stream. overwhelming. exponential increase will ultimately not completely over on health care system in the road rest, who survive or lead to long. cobit and that cost is not just now before it years and perhaps the decades to come. you made an interesting ploy, which i just wanna kind of expand a little bit. you can't invent. you said doctors and nurses overnight. so there is already a recruitment crisis going on. but is this crisis going to pull off people joining the medical profession there full at we're looking at another crisis in 56. he has taught yeah. because many doctors and nurses, they're retiring early or dear, just quitting because the stress of medicine right now is just so unbearable. there

was many doctors and nurses with post traumatic stress disorder, base and sleeplessness. and you cannot make doctors and nurses work. 24 hour shifts more than once a week. but that's what is happening. many on ships are not being filled in the router. those are remaining of being forced to work overtime. and that is going to dissuade the next generation of doctors and nurses from entering the workforce. this is what is the crisis is not just a crisis of now, but it's going to be a slow dripping crisis for the next decade. and especially when long covered really overwhelms lot of doctors and nurses have been infected as well. that's even got further cut down in terms of health care system. this is a huge drag, not just for the moment, but for many, many months and years to come. adult eric sale then thank you very much for your thoughts. says it nice goes president andre manuel

lopez obe resolve has tested positive for coven. 19 for the 2nd time, he says jani has light symptoms. it comes to mexico, reports a record number of cases. but alberto claims hospitalizations and death and not increasing at the same rate experts say these indicators lag behind infections by several weeks. and millions of children are finally back in the class when uganda after a covert shut down, lasting almost 2 years. but this concern as many as a 3rd of peoples went return because i started working or became pregnant. kentoria gayton be report at keanta genius school on the outskirts of the capitol cam. paula, there's excitement in the air. parents are doing the school drop off for the 1st time in almost 2 years. a many can't hide their relief that the world's longest school shut down due to cov 19 has ended margin for 3 of having them on the 1st months. what find struggle with teaching them? of course saw it's difficult for a parent,
