a dos where the lessons learned from the global pandemic could lead to positive change the close of the of the hill. oh, we all hail the locked down, expose of privilege and poverty during a crisis on al jazeera, revealing eco friendly solutions to combat threats to our planet on al jazeera. ah. ready to. ready this is al jazeera. ah, it is 10100 hours g m t one p. m here in dog hollow and cam al santa maria, welcome to the news. out on al jazeera, top russian officials are meeting nato representatives in brussels as tensions continue over russia's troop build up on ukraine's border. we're doing the best we

possibly can. in other news, the by the administration facing tough questions at the senate's as the u. s. hits a new record for cove at 19 hospital admissions. north korea announces the successful tests launch of a hypersonic missile as leader kim jong urges his commanders to step up their military muscle. and the search continued for victims of a massacre in nigeria in which at least $200.00 people were killed. i'll have a live up there and his fort novack of it has admitted to not isolating after a positive test, the covered 19 last month and a social media post the tennis world. number one accepted, it made an error of judgments. ah, so high stakes security talks are underway in brussels. this wednesday of tensions persist over the russian troops build up on the border with ukraine. the nato

russian counselor's meeting for the 1st time in 3 years. efforts to deescalate the situation are ongoing. still so many fears that russia could yet invade ukraine. moscow wants guarantees, nato will not accept its neighbor, however, as a member. so let's start with dorsey jabari in moscow. lowest expectations of any talks that i can remember in a long time that said, how significant is today's meeting? well, and it's significant because there is various officials from the russian foreign and defense ministry. attending this meeting in brussels. and it's also being attended by the russian deputy foreign affairs if we're a secretary. and he is saying that this is a moment of truth for a rush, anita relations. so it's certainly from the russian perspective, it's very significant, although they also don't expect much or break through. but the russian position is

that as long as they're talking, they diplomatic channels are open, then there is hope that the tensions can de escalate. the russian, a, deputy foreign minister, alexandra rosco, has said that russia is very firm in his position and, and stands very clear the russian position and what they expect from nato. and that ukraine will not become a part of this 3rd 30 member block. and it's a point of absolute, no room for negotiation or from the russian part. it's not something the russians will ever accept. and as for the troop movements along side the border with ukraine, that is a matter of sovereignty for the russians. the officials here have said that they are free to move their troops within their own country wherever they wish. so the best case scenario door a walk back door. so what could we hope to get out of today's talks, given what you've just described, which is a stalemate? reading i think is the best case scenario

is that they continue talking. is that this meeting or will not take the next meeting after today will not take another 3 years to take place. this of russia, nato council came into being in 2002. and it certainly was the relations were strained between russia and nato. after the annexation of crimea in 2014 and bade really came to a blow in a 2021. and when nato accused 8 members from the russian representative side of being a russian foreign at russian spies, it basically, and the russians a were expelled from the agency at that point. and russia reduced its presence with needle. but for now, i think this is significant because it shows that they have, they are now at a point where they want to talk and, or for the russians. they've said that as long as there's dialogue and that ukraine doesn't join nato, then they don't see a problem in the foreseeable future. but of course,

the americans have said that the russian position and what they're asking for is a non starter and that the russians cannot dictate at nato's open door policy. any countries are open to join nato. and it's not up to russia to dictate who can and cannot become a part of this organization for could also. and we will return to that story little bit later in this news. a current of ours news right now. but when you, as president joe biden has defended his administration's response to the surge, particularly in all micron cases, more people are now in hospital with coven 19 than ever before. infections are hitting an average of 3 quarters of a 1000000 a day. and so u. s. senate committee has question federal officials on the handling of the pandemic. supporters from patty calling with a call in another new covered record in the us. more than 145000 people hospitalized with the virus. i'm still

u. s. president joe biden is sounding optimistic on top of over on the right back pole show. much of the country disagrees. one problem. casting this is boston and here in missouri long lines to get a test and results are taking longer to come back very where we've been. it's been a lot like this is we're testing looks like in most of the country, the other option at home tests. but they are expensive and really hard to find. same with masks, the government says i'm a crohn means everyone needs better masks if you can find them and afford them. so some local government you have begun giving and i was just going to get them ask i can't find anyone and was like, ok, maybe 5 or just so expensive. oh, take 2 or 3 weeks they did on at this senate hearing the focus was supposed to be on how to make it all better. but it often got contentious with republicans launching personal attacks on the nation's chief cobit adviser,

who says he is receiving death threats because of it. so i asked myself, what, why would senator want to do this? so go to that ran poll website and you see fire doc, the found she was a little box that says contribute here, you can do 5 doll was 10 doll is $20.00 a $100.00. so you are making a catastrophic epidemic for your political gang. so here's the problem, case numbers are extremely high, but hospitalizations usually follow those by about 3 weeks. and hospitals are already stretched this one several times as i did simply tell ambulance drivers don't come here, we're just quite out of beds. the bind administration says they're ramping up the production of medicines, math test, but those are weeks maybe months away. and the situation is getting worse by the day. and after saying it wouldn't be needed. authorities admit they are working on

a vaccine for the amazon, very it and working on others that could work on the next variant that comes after that or i'm a crown isn't likely not to be the last curve ball. this virus throws at us nearly 2 years on and once again, hospitals are stretched, lives are being lost, and every day new signs that life is far from returning to normal paddock lane al jazeera maryland, a couple of other notes, indonesia, which has begun its campaign to administer booster shots of the coven vaccine to the elderly, and people with weak immune systems, the jobs will be offered free after they were initial plans to charge people which sparked a bit of controversy. and in his, you're seeing a 3 month high in new cases, of course, largely driven by all micron. during the peak of the 3rd way last year, hospitals were overwhelmed, running out of beds and supplies. and around 14000000 people in a chinese city will undergo cove in 1900 tests. the 2nd time this week,

mass testing began in tin gen john gene on sunday. after 2 cases of on the chrome detected, the city is next to the capital bay. jane thor, who's concerned about an outbreak which could pose a risk to next month's winter olympics. on to other news in the u. k. prime minister will face tough questions in parliament and just a few hours as the calls for him to resign are growing. there was a new evidence of a government policy held during a coven. 19 locked down. late to email, reported the show as far as johnson's aid invited her on the 100 stuff for drinks in 2020. as reported from that in bother. how many garden parties is a garden party too far? this image shows bars. johnson at a gathering behind 10 downing street during the 1st lock down in may. 2020. his office is always claimed. this was a work meeting. now he's under intense pressure after press reports, he attended another gathering here 5 days later, along with dozens of colleagues, an email from one of his advisors to

a 100 members of staff said hi all after what has been an incredibly busy period. we thought it would be nice to make the most of the lovely weather and have some socially distance drinks and the number 10 garden this evening. please join us from 6 p. m and bring your own booze. and i know that people are also eager for news of the same day. the culture secretary was on television, telling the public they shouldn't meet more than one person from another household . in parliament on tuesday, the opposition was granted an urgent question because a prime minister to make a statement on the positive event held in the county street garden on the 20th of may, 2020 maurice johnson didn't turn up leaving it to a cabinet collie to fend off repeated calls for him to resign crime. i apologize again, unreservedly. fully upset that these allegations have caused the problems to has asked for investigation to take place and the terms of reference,

the investigations that are underway have already been published. in recent months, the press has been full of reports of social gatherings in downing street where covered 19 regulations were broken. but this time it feels different. johnson has refused to deny anything saying only that they'll be an investigation by su gray, a senior civil servant or the reaction of the former head of the scottish conservatives was particularly a survey on tuesday. she said, nobody needs an official to tell them whether they were utter boozy shindig in their own garden. well apart from su grey's investigation, the police here now say they're in touch with the cabinet office. with those reports of a garden party, the government official number of people who died from covered 19 has just passed 850000. no surprise then, that the air waves have been full of people who lost loved ones in 2020, and weren't allowed to attend the funerals condemning the prime minister for his johnson's popularity. ratings have already slumped in recent months. whether this

latest scandal translates into any real attempts by his party to replace him is less clear that in barbara with that report, he is now at side the houses of parliament in london. couple of hours now until prime minister's questions netting, which is usually a bit fiery. i can't begin to imagine what it'll be like today. oh, well it certainly combining a lot of attention and we know that term, the leader of the opposition labor potty care stomach is now out of isolation after he positive tested positive. her covet 19 hill b and confronting the prime minister. here at his deputy angela raina has been on the airways in the last few hours, again saying, but if boris johnson, i broke the ministerial code by misleading parliament, previously, when he said that no rules were broken, no covet, 19 regulations were broken. then he will have to go. so there is, there is equivocation there. if he has misled parliament previously,

he has am told parliament that no rules were broken during gatherings at 10 downing street. they were referring to events or late in 2020 this e mail. this garden party was in may 2020 in much tougher restrictions, and that's what's causing so much anger. let's not forget that it was the 1st lockdown people around the country had relatives, for example, in hospital who were dying, who they could not go and see. they could not attend funerals and so on berries, a lot of anger in the country, also among tore m p 's. and what really will be crucial is how they assess boris johnson's performance. he is likely to try to argue in a few hours that this gathering was a work do that it was at the end of the day, it was not a party. the opposition has already poopoo that idea. some conservative m p 's are saying that if forest johnson himself attended that party and witnesses say he did

so with his wife carry, then he will have to resign. others are saying if he is apologetic, he may be able to win back public trust. it's not clear how much pressure they'll be on him or in a days to come, but certainly all eyes on parliament prime and it says questions coming up at 1200 g m t. we're bring you that live and speak to 19 barber again. then almost 40 minutes past this news hour. here is what's coming up. 25 man accused of plotting b. 2019 easter bombings return to court in sri lanka. and he turned and said people kill in those attacks. this is the forwarded aside to defend our lectures to defend our democracy. you as president pushes to change senate rules, he rally support or voting reform and sport frustrating down to the africa cup of nations. but egypt and liverpool strike a metallic. and he is here with that story

a little later. ah, north korea is claiming the successful launch of another hypersonic missile state media released images of leader kim jong and observing the 2nd launch in less than a week. hypersonic missiles can more easily avoid detection and interception and ballistic ones. kim said his new year aim was to improve north korea's defenses. little background for you on what exactly makes hypersonic weapons different will speeds a big factor to start with. i fly towards targets at low altitudes and can travel more than 5 times the speed of sound. you're talking 6000 kilometers an hour. plus, the main difference though, is that they can be rapidly maneuvered after they are launched on like ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, don't follow pre determined path. their trajectory can be altered, which means they're difficult to stop. all these same speed, agility, low altitude,

they make it difficult for any ground based radar systems to detect them. china, russia, and the u. s. r o leaders and hypersonic weapons and several other countries including japan, germany, france, and india are reportedly investing in the u. s. as north korea's weapons program is a threat to the international community and that dialogue is the only way forward. the launch clearly does highlight. the dca lays destabilizing impact of the dpr k solicit weapons programs. i. it violates multiple un security council resolutions. it poses a threat to the d, p r. k is neighbors, a, in to the broader international community. we continue to call in the, the p, r k. a, to refrain from further further provocations and importantly, to engage in sustained and sustained and substantive dialogue at what we have been open to. and in fact calling for for some time now with us from sol to talk more

about this is bung shook. who was a research fellow at the institute for north korean studies at young se university . thank you so much for your time. i am always fascinated when north korea launch is one of these missiles, not just because of the fact that they are testing it, but the fact that they making them in the 1st place for a country that is so sealed off from the rest of the world. how is the technology in there and the, and the results in interviewing make this happen? well, the warm under estimate, the unity of the korean scientific and the development and the lady, the true test fighting prove that the north koreans are really determined to strengthen the national defense capability. as he was announced in the 8th party congress. last january, january, 2021. so all of these are parts of the grant plan

to strengthen it. keep ability with long. so the bad news is that this is not going to be the last time that we're going to witness the north koreans testing their weapons. north koreans are moving ahead on its own schedule until it reaches the goal set by the midterm military capability. development of this particular launch. did it show improvements in, in range and capability from what we know, i guess? yeah. avenue koreans developing this further and further yes. no grantsville, a sophisticated other weapon system including the missiles compared to the type of missile test. on the 5th of january, i, you know, a test on the 11th of january yesterday was a huge success. even discriminated, came down, one monitor has firing at the site. so the 2nd missile test on the

11 show that i personally missed all tested india, you know, flu, approximately 1000 kilometers and hit the target. and you surpass the expected speed. and you said the hyper sunday me. so i should be as fast as the 5 times a, but this time the me so loo, approximate it 10 times faster than the speed of song. so you said in your 1st town, so you said we'd have to expect that this will happen again. what is it like in south korea? do you do people in south korea? you get used to this as much as you can get used to the idea of your neighbor launching missiles? well, no, it's going to, the publication has a long history. so this is not the 1st time that people are witnessing, you know, on north korea, developing it, so system. so yes, there is

a very strong sense of indifference and numbness on south graham public. but this poses a threat to the national security of south gra, because of this type of hypersonic me so by north korea can reach from capital city of north korea tongue to so the capital city of south korea within 1000000. so either be increasingly difficult for the existing use of they said they're deployed in south korea to have a complete and reliable b cell defense. both young silk, talking a north korean nuclear with us. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. now, hong kong is drawing up more laws to combat what it calls crimes against national security. i'm calling chief executive kerry law made that announcement in the 1st session of the new legislature, which has been scrubbed of political opposition begging and posed a national security law on hong kong in 2020. as

a response to the mass pro democracy protests, a controversial law, which makes it easier to punish activists you, i, on those. so i don't use arms up whole on the national security law passed in june is an immensely well written law. it's been implemented for about a year and a half. its original function is to stop violence and chaos and returning to normal, se. now it's to act as an anchor to guarantee stability, to let people know there are consequences. the national security law requires us to prevent curb and punish crimes if prevention is done well, we can punish life. the legislation of article $23.00 will be similarly well written game of i as on but rights groups on western government. so the national security law has empowered authorities to conduct a sweeping crackdown on descent. hundreds of journalists, business people and activists have been arrested while others have simply fled. last month, a 3rd pro democracy news out was also forced to shut down. at the trial for 25 men

accused of organizing the easter bombings in sri lanka has been adjourned until march. remember, remember, this may be 270 people, chilled in a series of attacks on churches and luxury hotels. back in 2019, the defendants face 23000 charges that the government is facing criticism for the investigation. michelle fernandez as more delicia, fernando, her husband, anton, and their 3 children were attending easter sunday mass at st. anthony's church. when a suicide bomber struck apple in the end of it was no longer caballo napoleon. then in a moment, there was a loud noise and fire started raining down from the roof. i told my girls to head out, my son was thrown by the impact. he's the one who found my husband dead. a total of 7 suicide bombers struck 3 churches and 3 hotels, all within an hour. 270 people were killed and more than 500 injured.

the government blamed an obscure local group, the national thou, he demand. but many people don't accept that explanation. of position in b. r in fernando is one of them. biggest question for me or who benefited out of these? and why con the goldman when we are, is christians on sir? philander says rightly information uncovered by both the parliamentary committee and presidential commission has not been investigated. the catholic church has been scathing about the investigation. hardin and malcolm runjun, the archbishop of colombo as frequently criticize the slow place of the investigation and implied that people now in government may have been involved in the attacks government representatives and the police denied those allegations. they point out that hundreds of suspects have been detained. an indictment issued in a dozen cases,

lawyers for some of them have told al jazeera that their clients had no involvement with the bombing. meanwhile, elisha and doesn't like her 3 long wait for justice. now if i don't need a going back, i don't need it. then again, i think i've told god only you can show me the way to secure a justice because people keep exchanging allegations about who did as well the years go by. we can't live with peace of mind stating, look at it, and they can only hope that brett on said no. fernandez reporting there now, an explosion of hits somalis capital market issue, killing 8 people according to ambulance services. them authorities have a blast with a cap on targeting a convoy of bullet proof cause unclear at this stage who the target exactly was and who carried out the attack. this was on a road though, leading to more good issues and pulled as a search under way in nigeria for more bodies in the sight of some sorrow where at

least 200 people were killed by gunman last week. about 10000 others have been driven from their homes by that violence as well. raids on villages are said to be reprisal attacks after government air strikes targeted to hide out of criminal gangs. oh, from a med address, sees in the town of goods saw in them far estates to update us about the situation here in some for a state is the commissioner for information it brian mcg id daughter. can you talk to was, can you update us about this situation in hearing some, for a state, the victims? what is their condition now? what is being done to help them? because it's been 5 day says will latest her cycle of policy happen. and thousands of people have been displayed from more than 10 villages here in san for us it what's being done to help them? well, i am. the situation here is be managed by the government of a state. when the incident happened, the governor went himself with

a team of heads of security and also members of his executive council to visit the scene of the incidents and also condone with the people. he ordered for the assessment of the damage is done to them. and also ordered for the repair of houses that were upon to go in the attacks. now, how bad is the situation hands for in terms of security? how bad, how exposed these villages are? honestly, it is a terrible thing. ah, our people in the rural areas are on bad threats and they are also a livin in fears and apprehension because of the activities of the bundis. and our one particular problem we are facing is the shortage of manpower in terms of security. as well as the in coaching or rather the infiltration

of the community into the activities of the bundis in terms of um, informants, people who supply them with their, their needs. and people who supply them would say, food stuff and other necessities like their weapons. yeah. now that ra braimer get you to sorry, the commissioner for information in some, for our state. now we expect the military chiefs to be here any time from now, but what people are expecting is action more action and the ground to stop discounted from continuing in the news ahead, the unemployment crisis in india grows despite the government saying the economy is bouncing back future food security concerns in the u. k. is the government tries to solve the delicate balancing act between environment bombing and useful. he says, well, one of the breakout tennis started 2021 stopped in equally good form and he will be happy to ah

at the moment for most of you winters quite benign. but there are extremes to the north and the south extreme limits of europe. so this area here which is streaming rayden circulation down just south of greece. southwest of took you had their 1st cause that's influencing the weather. further with is to get a warning, a very strong ones, dangerously strong winds on the croatian curses the season when called the board and normally also be noticed throughout the western met and come on shore. you know, gee, area in trinity was some rain or showers at least, but you can see the weather still have bad now as it was yesterday, stows stop falling, for example in greece. that sto now focusing on turkey with heavy rain the south coast circulating when the cold air comes and brings

a bit of snow even to istanbul. i think the temperature at best for degrees. this is the forecast for wednesday, of course. at the same time and the other side, the other end of europe, extreme north, we have got a warning, extremely heavy rain, no snow but rain. this is strong time and to the south, the bit to the north flooding seems very likely, very cold. air is still to the east of europe, is on its way out. the big picture remains really largely quiet. ah, some people marry for love, others, it can be a commercial transaction. yasemin for the $3700.00 euro payment just for the march convert algebra world meets men and women using marriage as an illegal passport to europe. we know history so it can be arrested for attempting to organize a sham marriage at a financial and emotional cost. but then he left me for

a woman 33 years older than him. marriage for sale on al jazeera. when the news great side is tornado destroyed everything it touched in mayfield. when people need to be heard and the story tones, he has done his job to tell us what's going on with exclusive interviews and in depth reports, i get on my mike. right. the wind and just b l g 0 has teens on the ground tip when you are award winning documentaries and lives on air and on line lou on the on these are here at out of the are and these are the story you as president joe

vied and defending his administration's response to the surgeon amik on cases. there are more people now in hospital with coping. 900 before and infections are hitting an average of 3 quarters of a 1000000 a day. british prime minister will face tough questions in parliament shortly as colds grow for him to resign. you evidences emerged bars. johnson attended the government party during the height of a lockdown in may 2020, top story high. take the cure, he told, on the way in brussels as tension over the russian trip build up on ukraine order. the nature rushing counselor's meeting for the 1st time in 3 years or as russia could invade ukraine with us from sophia in bulgaria. now matthew bryce, a former us ambassador, nonresident senior fellow now at the atlantic councils, eurasia and matthew, i say high stakes security tools, but high stakes security with the lowest expectations you could possibly have. i mean, what could come out of this?

well, i think we should keep in mind that these, this entire crisis was precipitated by president because he wants something, he wants attention and he's getting, he's getting the 1st nato russia council meeting as you just said, come all in 3 years. he wants to d, stabilize ukraine internally and g, president lensky. sort of confused. and then he also, i think, wants to try to split the nato alliance and instill fear in the germans who of course, tragically, a couple of world war against the russians. and the last century and other europeans who don't want us to be dragging them to war. so, what russia was expecting is that there would be concessions given by the united states and nato because there would be this splitting of the alliance. but instead we're seeing the u. s. standing firm. the alliance i think is going to stand very firm, meaning metal today. and i think president will have no choice but to find a way to de escalate s. as his deputy minister started to do yesterday. i

struggled to imagine vladimir putin doing that and you don't move a bunch of troops into a border area like that for no reason. and he would not want to de escalate just on the on account of looking week if he did. but eugene views himself is having rebuilt brushes, military after frankly, he didn't perform so well in georgia during the august 2008 or so, russia's invested an enormous amount of money in his military capacity. and what we need to always remember is if nobody goes to war, just to kill and destroy the war, is the continuation of politics by other means that's with the great depression, military security, even philosopher thinker. but it's on as pression, back in the 1900 century. so the threat of the threats without the actual use, the threat of military force is a very useful diplomatic tool. so president clinton can easily say ok,

declare victory. we got some concessions from the west. we're going to have discussions that will never allow missiles to be put in ukraine. and then the military exercises can continue near the ukranian order and he can keep the pressure on indefinitely. there is also the issue that moscow doesn't want ukraine to be a member of nato. now, from nato's perspective, everything will look. you don't get to dictate who joined club and who doesn't. so, i mean, i, again, i can't see any room for movement there. well, he has no choice but to find a graceful way to back down because, you know, russia, the soviet union in russia then as the state as a signatory to the you know, the think you final act, you know, other international agreements that specifically say each sovereign country on earth has a right to define its alliances as it sees fit, raising, of course, and to join any regional groupings that it wishes and no, no other state can veto that. so you go to the really is in breach of been of

international law and making such a demand. and i actually do think he's going to find a way to look strong still, of course, and declare an interim victory of sorts. and i think that the united states and has made our lives will help him to be honest. man, he just really quickly. i, we keep saying, how is this fear? this risk of rush are inviting ukraine in your opinion? how high, how genuine is that risk? will russia, as we know he's already invaded ukraine? so this is just a question of russia again in big grain and higher scale. i think the risk is low, i think, put in those. and a real impatient of ukraine would be incredibly costly and bloody for russia, and that could threaten his hold on power over time. matthew, by the pleasure, talking to you as always, thank you for your time. thank you. come up to the us where president joe biden says the nation is at a turning point on voting rights. he urged the senate to pass key legislation to make a stand against vote at suppression. and fisher reports now from atlanta,

georgia. before this important speech, joe biden took time to pay tribute to civil rights icon. he stopped at martin luther king's grave site, a man who fought for rights. the president no believes at rest since the election that carried him to the white house. 1900 states have changed the rules about voting. an attack on the people says joe, by an attack on democracy for the right to vote. and that vote count. it is democracy's threshold liberty. without it, nothing is possible, but with it. anything is possible. while the denial of fair and fair elections is on democratic, it is not unprecedented. he made the speech in georgia, one of the places where the laws have changed. a cut, the number of drop boxes made it harder to ask for a meal and vote. even made it illegal to hand water to people waiting in line to vote to bite and wants to change the rules in the senate to push legislation

through against republican opposition. but he knows 2 senators from his own party are dead set against that idea. he threw down this challenge. well you stand against rotor suppression? yes or no that's the question will answer. what do you stand alone against election subversion? yes or no. we stand for democracy. yes or no. there is one thing, every senator, every american should remember. history has never been kind to those of sided with voters oppression over voters rights. joe biden route to election victory with the overwhelming support of black voters in many experts believe that's who would be most disadvantaged by the change in the legislation. advocates who support a national law didn't attend. we believe joe biden should be in washington getting things done. not here, talking about getting things done. this is york hardy,

mister president. these are your soldiers. you need to find a way to get them in line because we deliver or you to lee is party and now you need to leave this party. oh, my god, congratulations, mr. ha joe biden. like every president had an ambitious agenda when he took office . he hasn't spent a lot of time on voting rights. this speech signals, it's no a priority. supporters of had the words? no, they want results. alan fisher, al jazeera atlanta, georgia, attend to karen of iris news, an unemployment on the rise in india has night time curfews, and we can lock downs or imposed because of an increase in coven case, it's not a government says the economy will grow more than 9 percent this year, that financial experts say most people won't see any of those benefits. support from elizabeth parent. m in new delhi. the village of oak who in india administered kush me to supplies, 90 percent of the woods used in indian pencils. the moisture levels in the regions
