ah ah because it sounds president announces and you government and says the russian troops called in to deal with the rising will leave soon. ah, i'm a clog, this is out 0 life. the also coming up us says that has be no breakthrough in high stakes talks with russia on the crisis in ukraine. health care system don't strain aside jenoma crohn cases in the us course despite and hospital admissions. and the

president of the european parliament certainly has died. even $64.00 ah, 7 catholics. don's president to denounce russian lead troops will begin putting out of the country within 48 hours. customer jermarta took, i have told parliament a fort withdrawal is expected to be completed in 10 days. russian soldiers were sent to cause it's dawned last week to quell violence during a protest against the government. more than a 160 people have been killed and nearly 10000 detained. took a f as also announced a new government line up. ali can the smell of has been nominated for prime minister. he served his 1st deputy prime minister in the previous cabinet, which took i have dismissed last week. so let's cross railway live to robin 1st year walker, who's into place he enjoys urine monetary rents in castorena and robin. what more do we know about this withdrawal of russian troops?

well, what so kind of is saying, basically is that mission mission is accomplished and those russian mostly russian troops that came in. there were also some contingent from bella. ruth kicks and armenia even, but there was a mostly rush in force and it really seems like it was a symbolic gesture move to have them in that to, to show that he had the backing of moscow. and well, the job is done. so as far as he's concerned they can go home now. and so he said that that process will begin in 2 days and should be completed within 10 days. so i think that one of the biggest take homes from the speech in terms of him showing up his strength and his position in catholic style. now is it, he, he has, he's in full control and he's in the big restructuring of the security services from the police to the, to the, to the secret services to the army. and probably putting all, all of the people loyal to him now in charge of those of those important structures

within his government or, and what about the appointment of the new prime minister who did serve in the previous cabinet? yes, so he has experience and he's seen it a competent left challenge and he will now be the new prime minister to carry out what was very lengthy ambitious program of reforms that the president laid out as social and economic for his country. and he also had a lot of criticism what he to in the fights were sort of an oligarchy. system that had taken over was taking money out of the country. i think the president is now distancing himself from the former regime as it were,

his predecessor no so time as a buyer and an people who have readings still maintains their bare influence in the country. this is a new beginning because it's on, if president archive is now going to be able to, to move forward with those are business reforms that, that he's talking about. right. robin time. so that's around the 1st day walker there in tbilisi, and ga us and russian diplomats ripple. it'll progress during talks in geneva ain't deescalate intentions on ukraine's border. moscow has spent the last few months gathering its forces on ukraine's eastern flank raising fears about invasion. moscow wants guarantees that nato will not accept ukraine as a member general. it is an achievement of sorts. the talks between russia and united states and 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 end to the crisis. it's not the situation we're ah, a deal breaker one way or another. he's in the vision. unfortunately, we have a great disparity in our principled approaches to these us and russia in some ways, ah, have opposite 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 them 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 is perhaps most urgent. russia has supported a separatist conflict there for 8 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 alliance. a demand flatly rejected by western allies. 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 tries to impose its agenda is stand of returning to the negotiation table. and we have that very clearly that we will never compromise on the right for every nation in you'd have to choose his own path, including what kind of security arrangements in one, sir, to be a part of earlier rushes deputy foreign minister said as to 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 hall al jazeera, where the u. s. is skeptical of russia's insistence that it is not planning to invade ukraine. as our diplomatic editor james base heard from the american ambassador to 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 and 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? north korea has 5, a suspected ballistic missile, both japan and south korea to take to the launch on tuesday morning with the projectile landing outside of japan's waters, a north korean leader kim jong, and has called for military advances. phil young says the hypersonic miss always tested in an early, along with 20000000 people in china and now confined to their homes. as a 3rd city is placed under lockdown to stem, the spread of current of ours. 2 cases of micron was detected on monday in the city of and young. it's believe the infections are linked to 2 other cases which were found in the city of change in on saturday. or the number of people in hospital

with coded 19 in the united states is expected to go past last year's record. on monday, the us reported 1350000 current of ours cases. that's according to reuters tale. that's also the highest daily total of any country in the world. health vishal say the volume of infections is overwhelming. hospitals there under further strain due to the high numbers of stuff infected with the virus data. eric fangled ng is nadeem ologist at the federation of american scientists, and he explains how the high number of people in hospital with cove in 1900, is how many other patients were so unrestrained from cobra. 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 that overwhelming excess of deaths that will occur will not also be but also other diseases. and i think right now we're in the middle of the worst part of the peak. this little 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 is the 4th or 5th wave that we'll see and i'm kind of so it base if that even if you had previous immunity, the alpha marion. so on delta, mary and all, mccord i have almost no care about that has really high and we infection leads and really have not seen penetration, the key to stopping it, stopping and slowing transmission. that's why we have to take a blanket this idol measures. now, testing mass vaccine requirements, mouse mask mandates. and you know, mass, ventilation and air just infection standards. we have to stop the transmission because even if it's slightly milder overwhelming, exponential increase will ultimately completely over one healthcare system in the road rest to survive, lead to long copays. and that cost is not just now before the years,

and they have decades to come. a sweeping bank seen mandate for large businesses has come into effect in the us despite the countries highest court still considering its legality. about $80000000.00 workers not required to be vaccinated against cobra. 1900. all face weekly testing, 2 cases challenging the mandate for heard at the supreme court. on friday, the justices are yet to rule mexican president of his men will lopez open at all, says he and he has light symptoms after testing positive for current of ours for a 2nd time. it comes as mexico reports, a record number of new cases over the doors, as hospitalizations and deaths, and not increasing at the same rate. but experts say the statistics like behind infections by several ways. the u. n. is launching its largest, have a humanitarian appeal for a single country. it needs more than $5000000000.00 in aid for afghanistan. over half the population,

that's about 23000000 people face acute hunger. the un humanitarian chief says he is most worried about the country's children. the figure of a 1000000, a 1000000 children, potentially suffering severe, acute malnutrition, a 1000000 children. it figures are so hard to grasp and this kind of science, but a 1000000 children in afghanistan at risk of that kind of malnutrition. if these things don't happen is a shocking one. we also know from the food insecurity, there's up to 8000000 people in afghanistan again, still in afghanistan, who are endangered in terms of food security at a level of food and security that will eventually lead to severe hunger still had her an out 0 new sanctions were imposed on molly,

but what does the punishment mean for the region? a big leap and medical science, samantha us becomes the 1st in the world to get a heart transplant from it. take. ah and once again, the irony in c is playing host to a center of stormy activity, which will effect on neighboring countries in this part of europe that, that is the active where this could be a good bit of cloud else web. actually it's fairly quiet. temperatures are 203 degrees below the average. it's a cold winter after all. the snow in probably the middle of sweetness is tuesday, and the temperatures are on the mild side for london that coming back down again, probably for scotland and ireland. but the sun is pretty dominant unless you happen to be anywhere ready from tunisia eastwards to turkey. that the winds are normally

an increase in ages could be called sunny weather. there is rain around particularly of a place like malta sicily. but circulating largely greece where snow hold readily as it probably will do over the balkans, down through bulgaria as well. not process only slowly moves eastwards during wednesday and it was east into turkey. a turkey gets rain 1st of all, but of course it's fairly readily high in land, say the snow will fall in sudden turkey and then in northern turkey. come wednesday . so it's a big circulation which will affect libya and egypt quite throughout the rest of north africa. to get that's nigeria, where a boucher surprisingly is quite halt. ah, with frank assessments, this crisis is continued to weaken luca shenker, even though perhaps he believes in the beginning that people expect for informed

opinions. i think politicians will now be under incredible pressure from their young people. that is one of the most helpful things to come out of this critical debate. do you think it should be facilitated? not sure. okay, it's a great. it's a really simple question. let's give samuel a child wants that inside story on al jazeera lou. ah, again, you're watching out 0 reminder about top stories and catholics dawns president is announced. russian troops will begin pulling out within 48 hours. they were sent to quill violence during protest against the government at more than 160 people have been killed and nearly 10000 detained us in russian. diplomats have wrapped up the

1st meetings in a week diplomacy and deescalate the intentions on ukraine's border. russia's deputy foreign minister called the discussions complex un is launching its largest ever humanitarian appeal for a single country. it needs more than $5000000000.00 in aid for afghanistan over half the population. that's around 23000000 people face, shoot. the president of the european parliament david certainly has died at the age of 65 spokesman said that he had been in the hospital since december. the 26 after serious complication related to his immune system certainly had been president of the parliament since 2019. he was unable to carry out his usual duties after becoming sick with pneumonia in september. that vessel has more on this from amsterdam and step, tell us more about this man and his legacy well,

dive into solely lesser social democrats from italy and the ferry, outspoken a member of parliament. he was a journalist in his early years and his career, and he was especially outspoken on the human rights and the true believer in the european dream. he clashed regular with the countryside, greece on their refugee and migration policies. he said that migration actually makes nations richer and us very much criticizing the reluctance of european nations to take and migrant. his last message, a christmas message on twitter, he mentioned that the board us had become kind of a wall that would keep people from seeking refuge. an ursula from the lay in the president of the european commission in her this morning called him a great european, a proud italian, a compassionate journalist, but also very much a true friend. so, so now what's,

what's the process for his replacement? what happens? well, david solely had already announced that he was not going to be re elected. he was not up for next term. they only sit there for 2 and a half years. so there was already a date scheduled for his reelection and election of his success. and so to say, and one of the candidates is his vice president, rebecca med sola from malta, an mc was very much outspoken on corruption among money laundering issues. the vote will start next tuesday in, in the parliament, the european parliament. alright step thanks for that test at best reporting that thanks very much. the head of monies transitional government says he's ready to talk to west african leaders after they impose sanctions on the country. the echoes blog with the exception of guinea made the move in response to the military rulers

delaying elections until 2025. molly has recalled on batteries and has announced border closures due to rising tensions nicholas tag. as this report, 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 rushed 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. one of my this is 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. a fleet gathered to impose further sanctions on molly, asking for a 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 coups 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 a 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 isis in the coda are gaining grounds. in central molly, i see me going to the government hired russian fighters to help tackle the security situation. much to the ire with the former colonial power france who announced a withdrawal of truth for the country's leadership bringing, lasting peace demolish. mean if you sacrifices and changing its relationship with both friends and its neighbors. no matter the cause. nicholas hawk al jazeera, 600 people have been detained and one was shot after security forces rated a refugee and migrant sitting outside a u. n. community center. the libyan capital protests were calling for better protection from the authorities. as mallet trainer reports now from tripoli, the norwegian refugee council and international rescue committee has said that they

are, are alarmed at the detention of hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers. they were put into a detention center and these attention centers are often very packed. they're not very sanitary and they're often put into very poor conditions. no doubt we have been attacked. people vulnerable women, do that bold mentally disturbed individuals who were seeking save it was seeking protection of the office had been attacked at night out of nowhere, and had no escape route. they are now, but the invitation sent us where in human treatments are with the red explosions. torture is the vision. everything in human and unimaginable my humble requests to the international community is trying to vent. now just to give you some context, in early october, living authorities carries out a crackdown on migrants and refugees. and they think they rounded up at least

5000 migrants and refugees in early october. and they're put in detention centers like the and my band. the facility i just a week after that the, my band facility saw a massive gape. and in that event, at least 6 migrants were killed and dozens injured. so that really led to a feeling of fear and panic among others population here in libya. so many of them went and began camping out in front of the u. n. refugee agency. we've tried to speak to the ministry of interior. they haven't commented as of yet, but, but really what we're seeing, what we're hearing from people that were there, were saying that the violence was used. there's a report that the report suggests that at least one person had a gunshot wound, the international rescue committee and the norwegian refugee council have called on

the immediate release of those detained. but we're still going to have to wait and see what kind of response of the government has in the coming days. relying her as imposing rolling power accounts because the electricity board cannot afford to pay for fuel. the worsening economic crisis is led to the rationing of gas food supplies and petrol nelson. and as is more from colombia, some people are looking at the possibility of power cuts a one hour a day according to what has been announced by the salon electricity board. that the said electricity provider, the headquarters that you see are just behind me. now the government is very conscious that this is going to be inconveniencing people because the power card will be coming during peak demand and that's during the evening hours. we had the minister yesterday saying that there will be no power cuts, but a few hours later we had the former law official shadow of power caught being

released by the electricity board. now, the government is conscious that this all comes at a time where people are being essentially wacked by all sides are the prices of angel items are skyrocketing that are shortages of milk, powder of gas. and this is all been exacerbated by a huge foreign exchange prices that the sri lankan government is facing. it does not have foreign currency for import. ah, and that to, ah, they've got to stretch and manage with what they do have. so in terms of the 2600 or 2700 megawatts of power, that your longer users, your own jo, are they do have the electricity board has a massive debt to the state fuel provider. and the steadwood provider has said they're going to stop essentially supplying the electricity board. or we do have basically coal fired power plants,

but the majority comes from fuel fired power plant as well as hydro power. so the fact that we can source a lot of fuel to drive those majority of fuel power plant is an issue. but in general, the electricity board engineers have said that one of the issues that we have not been adding new power plant that year on year 150 megawatts also is increasing in demand. but we just don't have the capacity. now in a 1st for medical science, daughters in the u. s. have transplanted a hicks heart into a patient to save his life. surgeons have been trying to find a way to use animal organs because of a shortage of human organ donations. barbara on cobra has this ripple, david bennett had been given 6 months to live and didn't qualify to receive a human heart. doctor told him there was no guarantee had survived receiving a heart transplanted from

a pig. his patient was given an opportunity for this. this experimental transplant was the idea mind that we didn't know what the outcome might be, but it wasn't going to be worse than traditional therapy. i jean at it at pick hot was used to reduce the risk of the patient's body, reject and the organ. and 3 days after surgery, dr. say his doing well. bennet son says his father is glad he made the difficult decision. he realizes the magnitude of what was done. and he really realizes the importance of it and talking with him. and i've never in my life i heard or seen my dad cry, but i think he realised the seriousness of his condition in the last couple of weeks. decades of research went into the medical break. 3. it was always said, does he not grasp? foundation is the future and always will be. this was coordinating multiple times. i would like to say that, you know,

transportation is now the present. in the united states salon, an estimated $10000.00 people die every year, waiting for a transplant. it's one of the reasons says, cautious excitement. it's significant because we don't have a source of human organ replace. ah, of sufficient numbers to answer demand. ah, and not only to man but a timely manner. but for now, david bennett and his family have been thrown a lifeline barbara and gave her i'll to sarah. well, it's in our from got to mother galati who's president elect to the american society for preventive, preventative cardiology. and she says, it's too soon to declare the transponder success. it's not just the idea of putting a pic, heart into a human that's actually working for the last 3 days, but also that it was genetically modified so that we are less likely

a human body is less likely to reject it. and you know, as you already mentioned, so many people are waiting for organs, we don't have enough organs to meet the demand. so this can be a real game changer for us. this could be really pivotal, and we're going to learn a lot from this patient. if we did what we did write about this organ that they transplanted this, there should be less rejection is our hope. so we need to watch for that. we need to see the physical recovery. technically, obviously, a pink heart isn't exactly like a human heart though. it's pretty close, but i did understand the surgeons did have some issues. you know, when they were attaching it there, there was like they called it plastic surgery that they had to do in some way to had just before attaching it to a human. so we, we need to watch and see how this patient does. but you know, it is very exciting to see this that you know, that a few weeks ago they did it with a kidney transplant that again was from

a higg and, and so it'll be the but that was in a patient that was no longer living. they were already declared dead, but they were able to show that it was possible. now we have a heart, so let's see. let's also see ha, oh, much immunosuppression the patient needs. because the idea could be that they'll need less drugs to, to reduce the amount of rejection ah, services observe, these are the top stories and causing stones president has announced russian troops will begin pulling out within 48 hours. they were sent to quote violence during protest against government. more than 160 people have been killed and nearly 10000 detained. robin frosty walker has more from tbilisi in georgia. it really seems like it was a symbolic gesture move to have them.
