1:03 pm
a very close eye and ear on what the us secretary of state has to say. and his carbon certainly in kiev, as he prepared to meet his russian counterpart in geneva, later in the week. certainly. and we just heard from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pess called, who said that the upcoming contacts between the russian foreign minister, sir de la rove and his american counterparts. anthony blue and can are extremely important. and that the agenda is clear for the russians. it is very important for this meeting for them to reiterate their position, and they're still waiting for a official response from the american government about the security guarantees that they want provided that ukraine will not join nato. and they've said that as far as the rhetoric that's coming from washington is simply not true. the got russia has no intention of invading ukraine. they are, however,
1:04 pm
well within the right to move their troops in their own country any which way they see fit at referring to the nearly 100000 russian troops that are carrying out exercises near the ukrainian border. in terms of this visit, secretary of state will travel to germany on thursday. he will, he will meet with his french, german, and british counterpart. and during that meeting, it is understood that they will try to have some kind of a united response. should there be an escalation in the tension between russia and ukraine, and then he will travel to geneva on friday and very much part of the us presidents plans for making diplomacy, the cornerstone of his foreign policy. and that is what the secretary of state said that he's there at the request of us president to try and de escalate the situation . dosage of ari for the most good. thanks very much for the update. let's think now to say he should puzzle. he's an analyst on the democratic initiative foundation
1:05 pm
join me now from can, could help you with this analogy area, sir. i mean, was the end game here in your opinion for russia? because ukraine, it's obviously defense. sorry. can you please repeat? just that's okay. no problem. what's the end game for russia here at this moment in time? because for your country ukraine, it seems to be defense. the end goal. so in the brain, we clearly understand that the end goal for russia used to bring your brain back into its fear of influence. and after aggression in 2014, russia can no longer do it. do this with soft power. and that is why graham than constantly kremlin is constantly threatening,
1:06 pm
are threatening to praying with. and you war yes and for that's where you're not on your brain. and the way the western conference was war and in such a way, they can force the way to make concussion or rush can conduct immune to 3 invasion in your brain and achieve goal in this way. and that is why your brain and your life can only be, can now only prepared to defend themselves. so let me just jump in the mr. ship of all of because in the last couple of weeks we've seen a lot of diplomatic flurry between the us and that european allies, as well as with russia in those 1st sets of meetings that the us had with russia.
1:07 pm
they were able to clarify that positions set the lines you might say for further negotiations. what red lines do we still keep hearing about and what needs to be cleared up in this next meeting in geneva? well, clearly stated that their goal is natal guaranteeing, not entering ukraine violence but it is unrealistic demands, of course, because these wild, a nato key principles and we can see this contradiction that russian real goal is unrealistic to implement. and that is why for us, it is important to defend them, to defend ourselves once again. and we see a b steps for now. for example, from great britain,
1:08 pm
we started to supply lethal weapons for ukraine and declaring political support from the side talk tonight at states and to providing such military resupply and can deter russia and aggression of orth russell. we'll emphasize that providing could be a military weapons, new and red line for them, but it is the only way to refrain to defend itself. we had a contributor analogy there earlier in the day, who suggested that the ukrainian president is unfocused at the moment with domestic issues. a former president coming back to the country to answer in a trial on treason. petro publishing co is antony blinking visit to kiev an opportunity for him to make sure that the ukrainian president is focused on what, perhaps the west and america feels is the more important issue of russia,
1:09 pm
rather than domestic issues in ukraine. i think this is it will persuade the landscape that the main threat for now is rush and aggression and political persecutions, or for petros ankle may cause internal disability ation in ukraine because she is still a popular politician in your brain and before the threat or for ross on invasion, internal disability ation in ukraine might be very beneficial for russia and therefore for now it will be wise to stop the inter no politics like fighting for power. indeed for that, i believe that it's been good to get your insights that he should puzzle a thanks very much for joining us from care. so thank you. thank you. now, israeli,
1:10 pm
please have demolished a house belonging to a palestinian family in shake jer, neighborhood in occupied east jerusalem. the eviction which has drawn international criticism from activist started a few days ago, but a stand off ensued after the family of 15 threatened to blow up their home if they were forced out. now the area has become a slash point detention with hundreds of palestinians facing eviction. or if also tis near the demolished home in occupy these teresa hurry, a lot of tension in the area just talk us through what happened overnight. that's right. well, after the initial attempt on monday and the demolition of the families plant nursery business, it was around 3 am on wednesday morning that they moved in about a 100 is ready security forces, a very cold and rainy early hours of the morning and they cut off the electricity supply, they cordoned off the area, arresting between 18 and, and 25 people,
1:11 pm
some of them residents of the home, others activists, both palestinian and israeli. and i then proceeded to demolish this house. now, according to the israeli municipality, the israeli police, they say this is land that was appropriated long ago. and that it is destined to be used as a special needs school for residence of the area. and they say that a, the legal status of the family on this land is, is questionable, and they were subject to eviction after a court order in 2017. however, as far as the family is concerned, activists and indeed, a number of western diplomats have been protesting this move a concern. this is occupied territory and under the jurisdiction of international law, not israeli law. and they see this as in legal acts, they see this as part of a systemic attempt to make it more and more difficult for palestinians in east jerusalem, and to a vix,
1:12 pm
potentially hundreds of people in the coming months and years now. it's slightly less clear cut than some of the other issues we've seen in recent months when check draws become such a focal point of the israel palestine conflict in terms of the precise status of the ownership of this land. nonetheless, there are many people protesting this and we wait to see exactly how it they will react in the days coming forward. are forced to talk about east jerusalem. thanks very much for the update. now the and says it's stepping up in response to the volcanic eruption and sonoma in tonga. the government has described it as an unprecedented disaster, australia, new zealand, sending a by boat because tongue, as my runway has been covered in ash, wayne hay has more oakland help is on its way to tongue up to new zealand navy ships carrying supplies have begun a 3 day journey, which should see them arrive on friday. perhaps the most essential cargo will be fresh water and a desalination plot to make more while the ships of their we're hitting their way

1:14 pm
rest of the world. the telecoms operator says it will be at least 4 weeks before the connection is restored. prime minister, see all see saline released his 1st official statement confirming what many feared the eruption caused an unprecedented disaster. with the volcanic mushroom plume covering, we just got into a way to, to care for antony, blinking victory state is meeting the president of ukraine. it's just listening to what they have to say to ukrainians and no one else to decide their own future. and the future of this country. the training people chose a democratic and european path in 1991. they took to the might on to defend that choice in 2013 and unfortunately, ever since you faced relentless aggression from moscow, russia invaded territory in crimea, ginned up a conflict in eastern ukraine and it systematically sought to undermine and divide
1:15 pm
ukraine's democracy. today, there are some 100000 russian soldiers near ukraine borders, and in that sense, the threat to ukraine is unprecedented. so the president asked me to underscore once again, our commitment to ukraine, start or check ready to sovereignty towards independence. and i know that's a message that you've heard, not just from us, but from so many partners throughout europe, including just in the last couple of days. second, the president wanted me to come and have the opportunity to speak directly with you, with all of our colleagues here about the week of intensive diplomacy that we just engaged in and completed with russia and to consult and coordinate on the the next steps, including my meeting on friday with russian foreign minister lever off across all
1:16 pm
of our engagements, we have made clear, clear preference for finding a diplomatic resolution to the conflict and to the escalate. the situation that is the clear preference. it's also the most responsible thing that any of us can do. at the same time, we've made very clear to moscow that if it chooses to renew aggression against against you frame, it will be met and it will face very similar consequences. and again, that's coming not just from the united states, but from countries across europe and beyond meetings like this one, mr. president and the consultations that have to mom and berlin with some of our other european partners are aimed at assuring that we are speaking clearly and with one voice to to moscow. and that brings me to the 3rd and final point that the president wants me to focus on and asked me to focus on. and that is our strengths
1:17 pm
depends on preserving our unity and that includes unity within ukraine. i think one of moscow's long standing goals has been to try to sort divisions between and within our countries and quite simply, we cannot and will not let them do that. so our message to all of our friends here to all of the friends political leaders to citizens alike is to stick together and to hold on to that unity to strengthen it. it's never been more important. particularly as the country faces the possibility of renewed russian aggression together as you've shown in recent years. there is no obstacle that ukrainians together with the support of so many friends around the world, including united states, no obstacle that you cannot overcome. and i wanted to reaffirm that as well. so thank you again mister president for receiving us today. thank you.
1:18 pm
he'd be watching anthony blinking the us secretary of state, speaking there in kev with his host law to me as the lensky, the ukrainian president. he's just sally early, i will try to get some comments from him in the maybe let's go over to dosage baris in moscow listening in to what was being said and also what is very clear at the moment or 2 lines. i think a thought here, antony blink and making sure that moscow know that europe and its allies, including the u. s. a speaking with one voice. and also keeping up this, these comments that russia is on the verge of attacking or will attack or could attack. these are 2 very prominent lines of comment that continue to be repeated no matter where. and the billing can goes. and russia will be making note of that before this meeting in geneva. certainly
1:19 pm
the secretary of state highlighted just that. how unified the voices against moscow are at the moment. he reiterated that it's not just the united states that is warning russia, but also european countries as well. and they're all united in their position that russia will not be able to continue these kinds of behaviors and it won't be tolerated. but for moscow, we just heard a short while ago from the criminal spokesperson dmitri past called, who said that the meeting between the secretary of state and the russian foreign minister on friday in geneva is very important. and that the agenda is clear. so i think survey lab rob is going to this meeting very well equipped with the list of demands that they want. including a written response from the americans about the security guarantees that they expect to get. and because they don't want to ukraine to join nato, and they believe that expansion of nato further east is
1:20 pm
a threat to this country. and they also believe that the true presence that they have along the border with ukraine, nearly a $100000.00 russian soldiers. their carrying out military drills is well within their rights. and this rhetoric coming from washington is not constructive. and they believe that they are in the right to move their troops anywhere they wish in the wrong country in their own land. but as far as the united states is concerned, they believe they have intelligence and the reasons to believe that russia is planning something and the russians are denying it. they are the russian rhetoric here is that they actually believe the americans in nature are using the situation with ukraine as a pretext for moving and troops closer to the russian border. and that it's something that they will not expect except in terms of the meetings they will carry on. the secretary of state will move on to germany on thursday, where he said he'll meet his french men and u. k. counterparts to discuss
1:21 pm
a united response should there be an escalation and act of aggression by the russians. something of course the kremlin has the night over and over again. it will be interesting and noteworthy to see what the meetings will establish after on friday, but as far as the united states is concerned, this is another attempt by us president joe biden to try diplomacy again as part of his foreign policy rather than resort to other means, but of course they said sanctions are not out of the question against russia. and the russians have said, any kind of sanctions against their government, this will be seen as, as an act of the united states, severing ties with russia. something that is very alarming, of course, but in terms of what sanctions could be possibly coming this way. the analysts have spoken to here say the russia has pretty much proven that they can survive against any kind of sanctions coming their way they sanctioned, prove themselves since 2014. the russian economy is very well and healthy at the
1:22 pm
moment they've seen an uptake in their foreign reserve funds and they are very much well prepared to withstand any kind of sanctions coming the way. so for now we'll have to wait and see what kind of of what to diplomacy will be able to achieve in the coming days. dosage of our mosque, if thank you. ah, no 11 british impedes from prime minister boris johnson's party are reported to have submitted letters of no confidence in him. the telegraph reported that as many as 20 conservative m p 's plan to submit their letters. 54 m. p. 's are required to trigger no confidence vote. johnson is facing the greatest crisis of his political career for holding parties at his downing street home during corona virus, lockdown, or brennan. our correspondence keep an eye on things for us from the british
1:23 pm
capital. the pressure continues to mount on the prime minister over these downing street gatherings. yes, if prime minister thought at the party gate scandal would, would go away. he has been sadly mistaken as the revelations have continued over recent weeks and here at parliament in central london. the atmosphere amongst the conservative party, the ruling conservative party is frankly turmoil. now can boris johnson, the prime minister survival, he has a crucial encounter in parliament and a session called prime ministers. questions which happens at 12 noon where he is questioned by the leader of the opposition and indeed are members of his own party . so many people will be looking at his performance in that session to see what kind of authority he commands on, on his own side, and also how, how harshly and how hard he is questioned by the opposition. now the, that the process of actually toppling the king is notoriously opaque here in london
1:24 pm
and, and it needs, as you say, 54 members of the conservative party to submit letters to a committee called the 1922 committee of back bench members of parliament in order for that process of a no confidence vote to be triggered, and that's done in ultimate secrecy. so we're never quite sure exactly how close the 54 we are at. but the number of the handful, the several number of a m p. 's. you are breaking ranks and saying openly that they have submitted letters is growing and so the danger for the prime minister is growing as well. and paul, of the danger is focused again on a report which is being compiled by sue gray, a senior civil servant, much talk about this report. just give us a timeline of what we know about her investigation, how wide it is. and when we can actually get to know what's in it, well,
1:25 pm
it su gray is the head of ethics at the cabinet office herb central department of government. or she has been tasked with this. looking into exactly what went on at parties, alleged parties that happened in down the street. the prime minister insist that he always thought these were work gatherings and that they were not parties that ran contrary to the corona virus restrictions which were in place at that time. but it's clear that this was not just one incident, that there were several gatherings that happened at downing street. and the accusation is that staff in that central organ of government simply lost touch with the reality of what other people outside where were enduring at that particular time. that the people who are setting the rules were not observing the rules themselves. and that accusation of hypocrisy as it is basically at the root of, of this current problem. now, su gray may report as early as the end of this week. we understand one of the central characters that she needs to speak to is forrest johnson's former special
1:26 pm
advisor. dominic cummings, who has said out ugly openly that he told the prime minister that this was a party, not a word gathering for his johnson denies that. so there's one person's word against the other. su gray is going to have to decide which is which indeed pullman for the latest. thanks very much pool. now the trial of a nigerian separate his leader is set to resume in a boucher after it was adjourned on tuesday. nom de kanu thing says terrorism and treason charges. he's the leader of a group called the indigenous people of biafra. they've campaigns. so the secession of the south eastern region of bio for it separated from nigeria in 1967, which led to the jury and civil war staying in the region. the gun b as president is being sold in for a 2nd term with oma borrow one last trans election with 53 percent of the vote. the opposition contested the victory saying it had been fraudulent, but a court dismiss. the allegations bearers promised to bring in

. john henderson, l g 0, chicago, little one of our top stories and b is really demolition of palestinian homes and shake gera. joining me now, as daniel seidman is a human rights law, enjoys been awful west. jerusalem is decided when, thanks for joining us on al jazeera. why in particular, has this eviction been carried out? the official reason is an expropriation of privately owned land to build a swarm for the palestinian residence of sharlitra. but that is not being taken at face value. there were alternate sites to build that school. it was possible to build the school on that side without demolishing the house. and it's taking place in the context of a major thrust by the israeli government to displace the palestinians of shandra
1:38 pm
and turned their properties over to the settlers. so what on the face of things made, peters appeared to be a something in the normal course of events. a rule is basically one of the rushed nerves in the conflict, the displacement of palestinians in shadow, gerra and, and so on and elsewhere. what recalls do any palestinian families still living there have or what hope do they have that they can stay there when the very existence in shaped euro is under constant threat? this particular case is an anomaly because we're talking about expropriating land. there are tons of other cases which are pending, including before the supreme court, where palestinians are in danger of being evicted in order to turn their properties
1:39 pm
over to the settlers. and there is a proximate danger that for the 1st time since 1967, we will be witnessing a large scale displacement of entire communities in shakira and east jerusalem. if there is any silver line name to the current event. and i say it is with great hesitation, this family lost their home and the coldest night of the year with no place to go. but if there is any silver lining, if the government of israel has encountered so much resistance, negative press damage to our image in the international community over one families, i would certainly hope that we would consider the prospects and the plans of displacing larger numbers of palestinian residents elsewhere in shamrock and in sil,
1:40 pm
one. bear in mind shift europe is targeted. it's not the only target. there's also we're targeting so one once a special about st. shake gerard, we talk about the hist, the history around the land itself, on the claim by israelis and settlers that it was that before it was the palestinians. but is that any of the reasons why this particular location is so special in the eyes of either these really colds, old settler community? oh, yorkie. it's a great question. and the answer is emphatically, yes. a partially it is because shandra and she moments and the resonates with jewish history and there is jewish history there. that's part of it. but we're, we're witnessing in shakira, in the north and in so one in the south is an attempt, a picture movement to in circle the old city of jerusalem. where biblically
1:41 pm
motivated settlements, in other words, to cut off the old city from its environs in the east jerusalem or beyond the old city. and this is being done through settlement activities, large project, national parks, demolitions, evictions construction. and this is not on the drawing board, this is happening. it's happening in the north in encirclement, in shandra to mon scopus it's happening on the south between the old city sil won and the amount of olives. it's good to get it all in context. thank you very much for your time a for joining us with truth them, daniel simon, the human rights law. thanks the time. so thank you. in hong kong and act with known for inspiring calls for independence has been released from prison. edward
