5:02 pm
detained. we are asking all civilians to stay calm and we will tell the public the reasons behind this uprising. everything is under control. we continue our mission to protect our country and its people are not last spring and nicholas hark. who's following developments from senegal. net caught your sources on the ground telling you as to what's happening there. well, the latest is that the military mutineers in brick enough are so call for the dismissal of the intelligence or leadership due to its inability to fight or, or give accurate intelligence in the fight against arm groups. so linked to arcadia in iso now al jazeera was able to enter one of these counts camps, lands on our earlier this morning. and, and, and our journalist on the ground said he saw a band of soldiers wearing ski mass. and they were able to talk on the phone to one of or the leader of the mutant, near
5:03 pm
a general. and this is what he had to say is if they see because it is in plain blossom or sims. yeah. it mud implant is i shot with noise made by me that differ. catherine with st. jude personal alamitos are valued. their new plan is you need to constantly permanently do quality as if a do you offer. so now, despite this idea coming to us from the military, that the country is now essentially calm and under control, i guess we do still need to hear from the president because it does still seem it feels as if it's a very precarious situation. still. yes, the situation is as,
5:04 pm
as is precarious. there's an erie column in the capital one or 2 and they're still gunfire that can be heard. now you heard that in those demands made by the mutineers. they fall short from asking president cavalry to resign. but in their late statement, they say that if their demands are not meant, then they will ask or they will call for cavalry to step down. they feel that his leadership has not led to a safer burkina faso, but to one a to a country that is seen an increase of attack. 2000 people killed just last year. 1.5000000 people displaced late in december. a vigilante groups were attacked by armed groups and one of the modus operandi of the government is to give more arms to civilians rather than to the military. and that has led for arm groups to suspect villagers of, of attacks. and that has led to more attacks,
5:05 pm
especially in the center of the country. so there needs to be in the eyes of the mutineers. it's change of strategy that needs to be more we enforcement and more efforts put into the military or else the future of burkina. faso is into question because there's really been a step of attacks peter, lately. just this week, a french soldier for french soldiers were wounded in joint operation with bertina for fusses forces in the north of the country. and despite the presence of the backend, the french forces across molly and burkina faso were talking about $5000.00 french soldiers. and to cuba, the europeans, special forces on the border with burkina faso. well, they seemed to be an increase of attacks and were expected to we're expecting to hear from the spokesperson of the president later on today by 1800 local time. there are negotiations taking between the ministry of defense and the various
5:06 pm
camps, and there's for many people in breaking up. so it's a situation and wait and see to see who is in charge of the country and who's in charge of the military. peter, nick, thank you so much. nicholas. they're joining us live from senegal. ok, let's take a closer look at the security crisis in booking a far so protested been ongoing now against the government's failure to stop attacks by arm groups them. the country was one seen as a beacon of stability in west africa, but hundreds of people have been killed since 2015 in violence blamed on fighters linked to isolate. and i'll kind of will, the 1000000 people have been displaced, the you and calls it the worlds fastest growing displacement crisis and explains, is the director of the africa program at chatham, harris. he explains what's fueling the crisis in booking a foster. the reality is that in 2015 there was an attempted military code in, in, in our booking officer. and then the,
5:07 pm
a civilian government reasserted itself but purged a lot of the military reading the intelligence networks that had been involved in that. we've been super sympathetic to the previous longstanding leader in the country lies comple ray, who is now on trial for the death of the father of bettina faso, thomas st. cora. and so it's a backdrop, also of a very demoralized military under resources that are looking for resources. but there's a massive issue of mistrust between the military and those that provide civilian oversight. and then you overlap it with the real trouble that the pin up military and security forces are facing with the jihad is threat on i saw an al qaeda some 2000 people have been killed in this. and the situation the central north buchanan paso, is not getting better. it's getting worse with significant displacement number things . well, i think a mutiny has ingredients,
5:08 pm
but who is exactly the right to look at this and it's still playing out so we don't know the final end game of this. and bear in mind that we are now it's about a region which is seeing a swing back in favor of foods. there was an attempt to qu in need here, there's been a successful search to, to cruise in molly there was a qu in guinea. i mean, we've had 5 successful or attempted crews if you count them all together this decade. so i book, you know, is, is fitting into that pat molson. taliban officials have touched on in the norwegian, capital or slowed their 1st visit to a western countries. they took power in afghanistan. last year, the talks will focus on easing the humanitarian crisis and human rights are expected to be official from several nato countries, including us representatives, the notary did any more bomb, declare him in norway. we have a meeting with the u. s. and also with the european union on matters of mutual interest. one part of our meetings would be with our afghan das poor who are
5:09 pm
outside the country, especially in europe with their ideas, consultations and plans will be heard. this means that meetings from mutual understanding will continue between afghans. some of inch of aid has more. we have run into governments. delegation is led by the foreign minister on with the peace is not just going to be meeting representatives off a governance, but also i've gone diaspora as well. we believe efforts are being made to hold at least some meetings with i've got women. but we've also been speaking to some leaders who say this is not a united have gone diaspora. there are differences between people. there's well one prominent fee to saying that they are against the taliban, but this particular group does not represent her as well. so it is going to be a difficult task ahead for all of the sides trying to reconcile the differences between the people living. and i've got to stand the people in charge of understand and those living in exile the damage done. they like to call themselves one the
5:10 pm
rest to release the funds, the gun funds, which are nearly about $10000000000.00 pretty down, predominantly in the united states being held. they want the sanctions from the united states, united states, as well as the united nation, has to be lifted against the group and their allies. also, the best is going to be pressing them hard on the issues of women's rights. civil liberties goes education, and this is something that we've seen as, as a sticking point between the 2 sides that they are not able to move forward. we're not expecting any major breakthroughs that but diplomats have been telling us that this is a step in the right direction to try and reconcile the differences between. i've gone themselves and try and solve the problem for millions of up guns, living in desperate condition. one of the central talking points in vienna between the u. s. and iran has been the impact of economic sanctions as both sides continue to discuss how to restart the 2015 nuclear deal. the reality is that for many iranians getting medicine for health issues is difficult,
5:11 pm
almost impossible as wrestle said, our reports from tehran, it's worse for those suffering from rare illnesses. mariam ha, medina said has a genetic blood disorder called tele samir. she needs frequent blood transfusions just to keep going. any better for targeting our body doesn't produce blood, so we need to receive it monthly along with some specific medicines. but we haven't been able to find the medicines we need for months now, and we're slowly dying because of it. that is because she is also caught in the crossfire of global politics. find the medication in iran has been difficult since 2018. that's when the u. s. pulled out of euro's nuclear deal with world powers and green paused economic sanctions. but there is more that prevents maryann from receiving proper medical care. many international firms have also stop doing business with iran, as they feared. they may also be sanctioned, they include global distributors of medical supplies, and this has could evolve people's access to medical treatment across the country.
5:12 pm
tell us amir patients are know among millions of people whose health is seriously threatened. what would you normally caused by john wood? when the us pulled out of the nuclear deal, we thought it was just a political situation and that we wouldn't be affected that much. but more people are dying by the day. 547 patients have since died and another 7000 are at risk. as many as 300 of them may not make it by the end of next year, that one on one for you in the set up, the loss is all too familiar. this photo is from a picnic you organized will tell us, am your patience back in 2013? does he points to are no longer alive? man, as i said, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha, i'm begging the people who impose these sanctions. if they have a problem with our officials, they should solve it with them. they shouldn't target ordinary people. they need to know that these medicines are vital and they must lift sanctions so he can receive them. we can't live a normal life like this. an ether on the false to provide the 2015 nuclear deal is
5:13 pm
now underway in vienna. but so far it hasn't produced any tangible result. and with the help of millions of people at stake in iran, any failure could do worse than damage. it's economy christmas are that ojo 0 to her still to come here on al jazeera, it's been 2 years since we. hon. first went in to lockdown. we look at how china is struggling to keep its code with 19 case numbers at 0. my reading will not be going here. you sealants? prime minister sense an example of finance is tougher. coup 19 restrictions off research in cases ah an improvement in the air quality across northern india. hello everyone. let me explain why we saw some showers. so that helps clear the atmosphere. look,
5:14 pm
we can actually see the cars going around there and the people, but this is not going to last and here's why. still cool pool of air here. so new deli, 17 degrees thing, cold there seems to this surface. so on its way down, it's grabbing all of that smug and shoving it to the ground. so foggy and smoggy for the next several days and temperatures here. still, while below average, we've got some rain dancing around the entrepreneurs show dish into west bank all cutten across spangler into the far north east of india, on monday now for southeast asia. sunny spells. finally, in the forecast for jakarta, with the high of $32.00 degrees and rounds of rain to be expected, central southern portions of the philippines stretching from sebu rate into devout . and so if we look at the next 3 days in devout look at this thunderstorm risk, i think the worst of it on tuesday and high humidity feeling about 40 here of those soaking rains that triggered landslide alerts and cargo. she met that energy has now pushed away. so mix of sun and cloud in cargo shima more sunshine though in
5:15 pm
tokyo with the high of 11 degrees. okay. got to run. i'll catch up with you later. see you soon. ah. dictatorships to democracies, activists to corporations, control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want you to hear. we care about the environment you do to you should buy our oil plea for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you consume on al jazeera lu.
5:16 pm
the touch of 1416 gmc. let's just take you through your top stories. as being gunfire at several military camps and became the fastest capital model dougal, the defense minister denies the army has taken over and detained. the president. ton of an officials have touched on and which in capital slows their 1st visit to a western countries since they took power last august, enough, guns. russia has rejected accusations as plotting to install a pro moscow leader in ukraine. not the british government said rushes in contact with former ukrainian politicians as part of his plans for an invasion, but didn't provide any evidence that you case. foreign ministry says it has information that russia is planning to replace. the ukranian president loaded me as a landscape with a former ukrainian m. p u f. hen,
5:17 pm
mariah f u k. foreign secretary at las trust says britain will not tolerate what she called a kremlin plot to change the country's government. russia dismissed the comments as disinformation accusing the u. k. a nathan of deliberately escalate intentions with ukraine. also, jabari has more for us from moscow. the u. k. claims of moscow trying to install a pro russian leader in kiev is absolute nonsense, according to the kremlin, and it's aimed at trying to provoke tensions and escalate the situation with kia. the kremlin has said that these accusations are absolutely false and that their main goal that spreading this, this information as they call it, is to show yet again, that these nato countries are headed by anglo saxons who are trying to incite further tensions and increase the disputes between this country and ukraine, meanwhile, it appears that for now, diplomacy is not dead yet. as the british foreign secretary will be traveling to
5:18 pm
moscow to meet her russian counterpart in early february as well as the british defense. secretary will be travelling to moscow this week to hold talks with high level officials here. so for now, it appears that the past to diplomacy and dialogue still remains open. let's bring in re challenge. she's correspondent, in london as to this person, worry who is may be according to the foreign office there in london going to be installed in kiev. i mean, one has to say who he and how would you do it any way before there's a land invasion on the part of the russians? yeah, i think there's a certain amount of surprise why the british government would go public with information. this is quite an unusual step. you could get a clue from something that dominate, rob the british deputy prime minister. he was saying on the, on the morning tv shows that if the russians invaded the costs and then we would be
5:19 pm
severe, they would be severe because the guardians would defend themselves. and also there will be economic sanctions against russia. he would then went on to say, which are a cause more effective if the international community speaks as one or at least with the pro consensus, suggesting that perhaps the release of this information about this. suppose it russian plot, either way of building that bro consensus and getting people on side united against what is perceived as russian aggression. but yes, this man can mariah a 45 year old tv channel for my m p by most accounts, a fairly minor figure. he is also someone who, as he pointed out himself, and the russians are pointed out to eventually banned from russia because the russians considered to him him to be a security threat. so he's an old choice perhaps. so the russians to install as a, as a pro russian public government. and if they ever get that, you have to take this kind of intelligence, i think with it with a grain of salt because it hasn't come with any evidence backing it up. russia,
5:20 pm
what has also been pointing out things like, ok, so the russian italian services will be looking at lots of different plans in many different contingencies, many different axes. this might well be one of them, but you have things like into agency rivalries between the different parts of russian intelligence. the g r u b f s b. they asked the are. so what is being considered by one arm of in russian intelligence isn't necessarily condoned by the others, or perhaps crucially conduct and by the kremlin itself. so, it all begs questions. ready? is this a serious plan that the russians have? is it just chatter? and as he said, just then pizza, even if it was a serious plan, how would they actually put it into place, given that, to install a puppet regime in care of, you would have to top all the, the administration that's there at the moment. and that, of course, is no small ask rory you'll keep us posted. i'm sure, in the meantime, thank you so much for a challenge there. in the bureau in london,
5:21 pm
ukraine calling up civilians to join his military reserves under 30 people say they are willing to sign up al jazeera hoarder. abdel hamid is in the capital key of she met some who have enlisted in a park in central give military drills, teaching the basics of combat to civilians from all walks of life. this is how young people, like allison had asked him ankle, a student in the science of plants spend their weekend enjoy. come more game there . charlie romeo, i just have to for the my family garcia hobbs a distribution owed through the escalade. and i can continue my extensive work and not be affected were it's all part of our program to become member of the territorial defense unit. they are run by regular military officers or combat veterans like ego region of who 1st served in the den soviet army new to

5:23 pm
willing to enlist. they won't carry heavy weaponry. that is left to the regular army. it's now better equipped body as military support poisoned from several western country. but for martyr escape, the rule of this popular resistance unit is crucial, even though she can find herself in harm's way. our main task is to support the army in, not in the front line by monday, but her back and also to protect a infrastructure to supports evidence. i'm friends that nobody knows what's gonna happen, but it's better to be prepared actually because it could change any time. and to nowadays change it very quickly. oh, you listen. russian diplomats haven't made any progress yet. the uncertainty has gone up a notch and with it the urgency among ukrainians to mobilize sooner rather than
