on the wells on al jazeera, with revealing eco friendly solutions to combat threats to our planet on al jazeera, ah, the threat to you frame is unprecedented. they are secretaries states has washington is committed to ukraine's territorial integrity warning russia karnataka very short notice. ah, through watching al jazeera life from headquarters in del hi, i'm getting obligated also coming up. fears of a water crisis and tongue out navy ships rushed to deliver supplies to the island, devastated by a volcanic eruption and soon ami. you are not there too long for all the good you

have done in the name of god just got home, go louder for the british prime minister to resign after more revelations. parties during the height of the code with 19 locked down, and dozens of us bound flights cancelled or rescheduled us concerns mount about the roll out of the 5 g mobile network. ah, hello the u. s. secretary of state anthony, blinking is warning that russia could attack ukraine at very short notice. so he's been holding talks in kiev with her ukrainian presidents involved ramirez, lensky. lincoln said, ukraine faces an unprecedented threat from the 10s of thousands of russian troops. amassed along its border and recent months a prisoner by asked me to come here to underscore our steadfast committee. do you crate sovereignty and territorial integrity, and is why we will continue our relentless diplomatic efforts to prevent renewed

aggression and to promote dialogue and peace. at the same time, we continued to bolster ukraine's ability to defend itself and make clear the costs of the united states and europe will impose on moscow if it rejects the diplomatic path that we've laid out and proceeds with an unwarranted unprovoked, unacceptable invasion or destabilization of ukraine, moscow was sending more troops to neighboring bella roosts for joint exercises raising fears, often even greater russian presence on ukraine's border. and russia is again accusing the u. s. on nato stoking tensions, demanding they stop supplying ukraine with weapons. the byte in administration has pledged $200000000.00 off military aids, victoria gate and b has more on the day's events. and i said, the us secretary of state meets ukraine's president. vladimir zalinski and kiff, where antony blinker renewed calls for russia to choose diplomacy over

confrontation. today, there are some 100000 russian soldiers near ukraine's quarters are. and in that sense, the threat to your friends unprecedented. so the president asked me to underscore once again, our commitment to ukraine, search for integrity, to sovereignty towards independence. oh, the hastily arranged visit comes as washington confirms another $200000000.00 a military aid for care of that anger. moscow. it says that's a threat to its security and listen, ukraine say the aid may change president vladimir putin calculations, but they're not hopeful, declaring political support from or the site of united states and to providing for such military a military supplies, janitorial, russian aggression of course, rational we'll emphasize that are you providing could be a military weapons, you saw a red line for them,

but it is the only way in our 2 or 40 grand to defend itself. now, tensions between nato and moscow over ukraine have been growing for months. putin is demanding that the americans pledge never to let ukraine join nato or expand the military alliance eastward a demand. the u. s. refuses to accept. russia's leader also says the u. s. shouldn't be concerned about joint military exercises with palo russia forces due to start next month. western countries have accused the kremlin of preparing a pretext for an assault on ukraine. but some analysts say there's still room for a diplomatic solution to this crisis myself. i find it unlikely that russia would attack ukraine in this manner, but people expect with huge land force, but will inevitably result in many casualties. i do not think much russian society and russian political system could take that psychological blow easily.

blinking is due to whole talks with russia's foreign minister survey leverage in geneva on friday as well. powers try to diffuse the crisis, but the u. s. on its own, i say they all ready to respond with severe consequences if russia attacks ukraine, victoria gates and be al jazeera, what are the hemi there's in care of? and she says there's an increasing sense of urgency in ukraine. the certainly a show of solidarity anthony blinking, coming here saying from kids that do u. s. dads buy the fundamental right of ukraine to it's sovereignty. now both the men entity blinking and his ukraine, a counterpart held a press conference o d u s. message saying that there is no talk about ukraine without a ukraine taking part of it, due to his ukrainian counterpart, actually reaffirming alter no decision about ukraine without you k being part of it

. but behind that, i think that the under ukrainian side, you get a says that there is a sort of urgency. you craig would like to see those sanctions that the u. s. and the you have been warning about to happen sooner rather than later. if you recall, at the end of last week, it seemed that any hope for us diplomatic solution was old, but dead in the water. and after that you so shoot russian juice, movement. stewards, ukraine's nowhere new order border with bella russo, the other side, russian saying that that's actually in preparation of joint exercises. that should happen very soon. well, the americans are saying, well, actually it shows that russia could be ready for an imminent military escalation at any time soon. but still the u. s. is sticking to the diplomatic route after a big and give lincoln is going to berlin tomorrow. and then on friday,

that key meeting who with is russian card to part, sag a, live rob and asked anyone here that will tell you that actually that is the most important of old meetings. the u. s. sector state. also setting here that unity with vin ukraine was important for maintaining its strength. this comes to the former president petro poor shanker, faces treason chargers. on wednesday, a judge rejected a request by prosecutors to arrest. horse anchor has been accused of dozens of crimes including helping pro russia separatists sell millions of dollars worth of coal. the billionaire was president from 2014 to 2019. he says the charges were concocted by allies of the current president volunteers, lensky. but you, when says it stepping up its response to the volcanic eruption and soon i mean, tongue or the government has described it as an unprecedented disaster. australia, new zealand are sending aid by boat because tongue has main runway has been covered

in ash when he reports from auckland. 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 dissemination plot to make more while the ships of their we're hitting the way now with a whole lot of water. the ship can hold. currently holds over 250000 liters of water and will be able to provide that once we arrive. and then every day thereafter, we are going to be producing another 70000 liters of water. satellite images show a thick layer of ash on the runway of tongue. his main airport on the left is how it looked before the erupt. and the ash is delaying deliveries of international 8 flights volunteers, which is cleaning up the runway. and the stains of it before the end of the week that might well be completed. and there will be an opportunity for

a craft to lane safely. but we won't know the full extent of it outcome until the run my it's clear in a proper 6 months i can be undertaken. communicating with tanya is difficult. there's no internet and limited phone calls, because the soon army severed the fiber optic cable connecting the country to the 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 statements confirming what many feared the eruption caused an unprecedented disaster with the volcanic mushroom plume covering all of tongue is 170 islands. the red cross estimates stood up to 80000 common may be effected. the devastation is why we're and i mean it was one of the most have started to next your actions. in decades, the tone in government has given approval for the new zealand navy ships to arrive

in its waters, but the aid carrying must be delivered contact. tonya has had just one case of coven 19 since the pandemic began. while it desperately needs help, it doesn't want to risk an outbreak. now, wayne, hey, al jazeera auckland's, britain's prime minister has again told parliament that he won't be resigning over the so called party gates scandal. forest johnson faced a barrage of ridicule and demands to stop telling lies. he urged everyone to wait for the outcome of an inquiry into parties in his downing street home during corona virus locked downs. the barker reports from london. and honey charge must be permitted to questions begun with another major body blow for forest johnson news. one of his m p. 's kristian wakes that had defected to the opposition party. this following morning, newspaper reports of a widening plot to oust johnson by members of his own party. jokes of the prime

minister's expense followed. i see the very noise on. i'm sure the chief worth was told to bring their i'm bruce ah salvo off to silva. like way, nobody told the prime minister, he was breaking his own rooms. absolutely pathetic. if he had any shred of compassion for all those had them separately. they said he'd go and hate clamoring for explanations with johnson about the increasing catalogue of rule breaking policies that took place under his watch when the country was deepened lockdown. but the prime minister seemed energize fighting tooth and nail for his party and his job. when the history of this brandon, it comes to be written and the history of the labor party come to be written. i believe me, they are history main history, mississippi. oh, sure, able show able show that we delivered while they did it and we, we vaccinated. well, they vacillated mister speaker. i am intensely proud of what this government

and call off to call for johnson to resign was met with the same message to reserve judgment and wait for the results of the inquiry into a growing list of rules breaking. mister speaker, when a prime minister, a spending his time trying to convince the great british public that he's actually stupid, rather than disowning every time that he go now dead. but his voice is from his own policy. the could do the most damage to his political future, m p. david davis wants the teresa may governments chief breaks at negotiator, delivering this surgical strike, like many on these benches, osman weeks and months defending the prime minister against often angry constituents. but i expect my leaders to shoulder the responsibility for they actions like tech yesterday. he did the opposite of that. so i'll remind him of

a quotation altogether too familiar to him of leo. amory neville chamberlain. you sat there too long for all the good. you done in the name of god, god has more the full force of brand boris back on show. and despite the promise, the plan b code restrictions will be slash from next week. this was a bruising day in parliament for the prime minister, seemingly impossible for him to escape all the growing anger within his conservative party and with the results of a potentially damaging inquiry just around the corner. forest. johnson's days in office could soon be numbered. naples al jazeera, westminster, stella had on al jazeera gamez presidents as in sworn in for a 2nd term. we'll have more on what this means for the west african nation. evicted then their home is demolished by is really police the latest reaction from occupied east jerusalem.

a really simple question. let's give samuel child swanson inside story on al jazeera lou. ah, hello again. the top stories on al jazeera u. s. secretary of state has warned that russia could attack ukraine at a very short notice. anthony lincoln held talks with the ukrainian president, follows him as a lensky and kiev on his or it's russia to choose diplomacy over confrontation. un says it's stepping up its response to the volcanic eruption, answered ami him tongue on. the government's called it an unprecedented disaster. new zealand and australia are sending fresh water and other supplies by bo.

some of them members of the family, some of them activists who being supporting them. and they then proceeded finally to demolish the home on this line. now as far as the is ready, municipality and police are concerned to issued a joint statement about this, they say that this is land that was appropriated long ago has been destined to be made into a school, a special lead school for children in the area. and they say that the family did not have a legal right to be that. however, as far as western diplomats have been protesting, this activists and thomas city is more generally a concern. this is not a question of israeli lords, question of international law. this being occupied line, and therefore such action is illegal and comes in the context of a wide, a systemic attempt to make it more more difficult for palestinians in ocoee bodies choose them to do dies this part of the city so slightly less clear cut than some of the issues that have made check your are such a flash point in recent months, but nonetheless,

attracting protests. and we have to wait and see what the reaction will be. a syrian doctor has gone on trial in germany accused of crimes against humanity. the doctor is identified only as i am because of german privacy rules. he denies torturing and killing inmates at a government run prison, as well as to military hospitals and syria 10 years ago. well here monetary and workers are warning that winter storms in syria. jordan and lebanon are endangering the lives of millions of refugees. care international says it's particularly worried about syria, as no storm, and the northwest increased concerns of families freezing to death. and many trying to stay warmer and further danger by setting fire to hazardous materials in confined spaces. the ring leader of a vietnamese people trafficking gang has been sentenced to 15 years in prison in belgium for the deaths of 39 migrants. the men, women, and children from vietnam were found suffocated in england. 3 years ago. they've

cancellations and slow the economy to a halt. the largest american based airlines say the 5 g system would ground thousands of planes. the f a. a is uncomfortable with the safety rules. and as a consequence, the impact on our operations to mitigate that would be a significant setback in a letter to the federal aviation administration and other biden administration agencies. the heads of the major airlines and cargo companies say the u. s. faces a, quote, completely avoidable economic calamity, and they warn of a major disruption of the traveling and shipping public end to the supply chain vaccine distribution in the broader economy. airlines want a 2 mile buffer around affected airports. they say those 5 g frequencies, the telecommunications company, spent tens of billions of dollars to buy up might interfere with a key piece of cockpit equipment. the altimeter hold radio altimeter help

planes and helicopters to land in poor weather. the activation of 5 g potentially leading the federal aviation administration to order planes grounded in low visibility on tuesday. big telecomm relented temporarily. and with obvious peak in a statement 80 and t said at our sole discretion, we have voluntarily agreed to temporarily defer turning on a limited number of towers at certain airport runways as we continue to work with the asian industry. but the company added, we are frustrated by f a's inability to do what nearly 40 countries have done, which is to safely deploy 5 g technology without disrupting aviation services. and we urge it to do so in a timely manner with verizon following suit that postpones the confrontation between telecom and airline giant. once again, but doesn't resolve it. whitehouse policy makers say they're working on a permanent solution. we have the safest air space in the world. our committed to

reaching a solution around 5 d deployment that maintains the highest level of safety. united airlines alone says that deployment of 5 g could force the cancellation of 15000 flights, stranding more than a 1000000 united customers. other airlines say you can multiply that several times . john hendern al jazeera chicago on a professor for electrical engineering. harris at christmas lauer he says there are, there are solutions to the problem these c band frequencies as they're called that the 5 g is deploying or potentially interfere with these radar ultimate or but there are, you know, solutions to the problem. so the buffer space that was discussed earlier is one solution where carriers turn down the power that they transmit in a certain radius around airports, and that will help to reduce the interference. also, studies have been performed the show that certain classes of ultimate or that are

more sensitive aren't actually jammed by the ban fees. and so just in the last couple of weeks alone from early january to today, the f a was actually able to clear roughly 50 percent of aircraft that use the newer ultimate ers. and you know, they're clear for, for use or in a or by their landing. and so, you know, upgrading older ultimate ers to newer solutions that don't suffer from the center grants problem represents the other forward. so c band, when it was allocated, does overlap with the reader on to me and our band, which is from $4.00 to $4.00 gigahertz in order to mitigate the risk. the fcc and carriers have actually decided to use the lower portion of the band that doesn't perfectly relapse with the radar ultimate or frequencies. that being said, if you have powerful transition and transmission that are in a frequency that's very close to where the ultimate or works, that can be a problem also. that can jam the ultimate or as well in us as,

as distributing 400000000 and 95 masks across the country for free from its national strategic stock fall health experts say they're the most protective against the on the chrome variance they will be made available at pharmacies and health center starting next week, the byte in administration phase criticisms for shortages and high grade math science at home testing kits that says on. the kron drives up infections on hospitalizations to record levels. new vaccine plans has been opened in south africa to try and boost the continents manufacturing power and talked to plan to produce a 1000000000 coven. 19 vaccines per year. by 2025 families. their mother attended the plants lunch events less than 5 amongst a nation. wait with machines, this pocket will advance a medical key and innovation, not only in south africa, but across the continent, especially at a time when the income countries and full boggles have access to vaccines during

the global pandemic. now the emphasis is on making africa self reliance and research will not only deal with the corona, virus, and future pandemic, but also cancer, t b and h i v aids. so africa supports vaccine manufacturing in africa to ensure that we become self sufficient as a continent that we share to those colonial chains that have always bound to us. we shared them and become self reliant. and today it's a demonstration of how we are moving forward to being self reliant as a continent and we. ready should be proud of what we are achieving africa should no longer be the last in line to access vaccines against condemn, makes africa should no longer bo kept in and to the western world

banking and begging for vaccines that they just want to rip off from their tables, this partnership was planning to manufacture a call that vaccines for africans. within the next 5 years, developers say what is key for these vaccines? is that it will be stable at room temperature for months. and that allows great transportation and storage in countries. the infrastructure may be limited to countries like south africa and india have been pushing for painted waivers to allow for the development on magazines in low income country. specifically, there's been significant resistance from big pharmaceutical companies against the transfer of technology, health, african africa, sciences, where some of the best science done during discovery pandemic. and then when would

they ask why, why is that the case when we have a continent motor deprived on technology? and the reason for that is quite simple. we have very use it for the past 102030 years to deal with them, make them. and them, and so we know how to react very quick. this project will make next generation vaccines using new technology against co written cancer. essentially, a project aimed at african innovation for africa with critic say it may be early days and the challenge of intellectual property and patience still remain gum yes, president has been sworn in for a 2nd term. velma barrow won last year's election with 53 percent of the votes. the opposition contested the victory saying it had been fraudulent, but cord dismissed the allegations barrows promised to bring in a new constitution. nicholas huck has more from the car and neighboring and is all i remember in 2017, it was his inauguration took place right here in senegal,

in eggs, all at the gambia, an embassy. we were there where he was sworn into office. you couldn't go back into the country because the then president didn't want to hand over power the west african forces had to intervene. so this swearing in ceremony that's taking place inside gambia, his historic moment for adam barrow himself. but also for all guardians, if they are following a popular vote in december, where barry won the landslide of the vote over 58 percent of 53 percent of the vote and only 23 percent of the st. barrett, who is one of the main contenders. now they shows the testimony in the tribute that can be a has for democracy, and that's why you have so many heads of states. 8 heads of state of the region, almost all of them from west africa, attending this swearing in ceremony in a region where there's been a step back away from democracy,

especially in multi or in guinea. this swearing in ceremony is seen as a step forward for democratic institution, and remember out of about used to be a security guard in a department store in the united kingdom. he became then the co, the, the candidate, the coalition to, to, to, to campaign against edge. i'm a and during his time in office he's taking real steps, concrete steps towards democratic institution. ah, ah, are we going to headlines on al jazeera, the u. s. sector state has warned that russia could attack ukraine at a very short notice. anthony blanket held talks to the ukrainian president of all others lensky, kiev. he's a russia to choose diplomacy over confrontation with other hemmings has a latest from kiev. i think that don ukrainian.
