including whether or not to deploy american troops by the thousands. the numbers still not determined, but the understanding is that there is a plan, a number of options being drawn up where the president likely to make a decision by the end of the week to deploy troops not to ukraine proper, but instead of potentially to nato allies. this would not only include in terms of personnel, but also aircraft as well as warships. now this would be a major pivot for the biden administration, who up till now had really held back, concerned that any sort of a pair of escalation could provoke vladimir putin, the russian president into invading ukraine. but it appears that there is now a shift in thinking by the, by the white house. now, to this end, we've also seen another shift in thinking that comes from the state department

issuing an order for some of the u. s embassy and kim to and evacuate if you will. now, this is not all of the embassy staff, but at least some of the families, as well as some of the staff being told that they need to leave the country. this is usually a safety precaution that we see when there is the threat of some sort of imminent crisis or conflict. and we do know that the u. s. president has said, and he says much in a press conference late last week that he does believe vladimir putin intends to invade ukraine. the question becomes to what and how that will happen and to what scale was our white house correspondent, kimberly halter kimberly fun to dosage bars. got the reaction from moscow was heard from the kremlin who has reacted very strongly to the meeting. this been ongoing in brussels, the russian government says that there believe that's a risk of key of actually starting

a conflict in eastern ukraine is at an all time high. and they believe the tensions are soaring as a result of nato and u. s. actions. and that their information is just creating hysteria and they say that information is laced with lies. that's the official reaction. so far we've just been hearing from officials from the duma. that is the a house of parliament here who say that to add the nato dispatching further troops and forces to eastern europe is going to create a severe crisis. this is, of course, exactly with this country. wanted to avoid that. the russians that were concerned with nato further expanding eastwards and that they were trying to prevent that from happening. but it appears all the diplomatic efforts have failed and now that will continue to move forward. and the russians are very much concerned and believe that this is a security concern, and they wanted to make sure that nato was not expanding any further. they didn't want ukraine at to join the 30 member alliance. they said they wanted to go back to 1997 levels. and after that point,

14 new countries joined this alliance. and that is why we're in this position now, according to the russians, they believed that their security is at risk because they are now very much surrounded by countries as that are part of this alliance. and they believe this alliance has its own agenda led by washington. this confusion and conflicting information about the latest attempted to inbox faso. the government denies any army takeover but other reports in the capital like to go say, president ross couple is detained at a military base. and soldiers have taken control of the main tv station. a coffee was declared after a, mutually by soldiers, some civilian protest to support the military intervention. reports of unrest stem from frustration in the battle against armed groups affiliated with eisen and all the soldiers demanding better resources to combat them. attacks have killed around 2000 people and forced one and a half 1000000 from their homes. while the president, picking

a fast has been treating about the situation and re wilkins has more from the capital. why good to be? the president has been close to the people that are organizing the key and taking part in it to lay down the lay down. they can come back to the negotiating table. so it's not to diminish the democratic achievement because he could say of the, of the country. i mean, this morning, the over report by going to the french radio station are fi as well. that the book and i'll be president, had been detained by the, by, by the people taking part in the tweet. so for the i did a whole other layer of confusion to, to what's going on here and am, i can see you at the moment. i really, as the date has progress thing to become perhaps even less than they were at the

beginning. families are consulting follow from the africa program at chatham house, but he explains the conditions of booking so far. so that led to this point up to very recently burkina faso has tended to rely mostly on its own forces. and there was a growing frustration over recent months that the military machine just wasn't able to cope. and that the, the president and his government weren't coming up with a strategy that was really effective at fighting. then these reports were soldiers found themselves under resource under fed, feeling neglected as it were in these exposed outta line garrisons. that's really produced a lot of resentment and anger and the other kids that have taking place in west africa, in marley and in guinea have also had a bit of a political component, frustration over the manipulation of election results. all that sort of thing. but

in the case of it became a fast so it really does seem to be driven by the security crisis itself and campbell, he was re elected only just over a year ago. i have very comfortable margin and he's been holding reconciliation talks to the opposition. his political, conventional political situation seemed comfortable, but this collapse in the security situation, which is seem close to half the country slide into a position where people can't move around freely and in safety means that that sort of base it public confidence in him has just slumped the u. e has lost airstrikes in yemen after intercepting ballistic missiles fired by hooting rebels. it's the 2nd reason to attack targeting abu dhabi last week 3 people were killed and who the drug strike, who the spokesman is warning of further attacks on the u. s. e. i will tell them

expected to couple of months because you did indicate that you ease a target for them and you be prepared for that. i don't think one or 2 attacks should be a good concern to the next decide the what is that people may have, particularly the gcc state members living can you eat? but i'm sure you have demonstrated that capability of responding to such an incident. i think we need to make sure you know, to show the international responsibility and international act that should take place immediately. because this is not a threat to, to the u. s. e. it's is a threat to the regional security and stability when you threaten the gulf. anyone who threatened the maritime issues and the major supplier that he could should be an international what it's not really. so this is why we need to have a good, an international act together not only showing a motor, solidarity,

and motor collaboration with you are still ahead and i'll just say to the latest developers from the exhibition battle facing we can expand our jillian songs and empty supermarket shelves in the united states will find out who's being blamed ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with sponsored by counsel airways. hey there, thank you for joining in that way. we go with your weather update for asia. we're going to begin in the northwest of india. this is our satellite, see some of that cloud and fog pop pin in new delhi, your temperatures while below where they should be for this time the year. but if activities some shower activity around that tamela do, but the bulk of it will pull out toward the bay, then gall may clip myanmar with some showers as well. but nothing major. we do have

of the trucking industry into what we now call the gig economy drivers are not paid for the time on the job. but for miles travels, they basically give the company that you're going to deliver to pick up from day give on 2 hours free the sit there and do whatever they need to do. the driver doesn't get paid many truck as a classified as independent contract or not. employees, so companies don't pay for the upkeep of that trucks or invest in truck stops warehouses. a truck drives the allotted legal time and then stops wherever they are . you get after 56 o'clock, especially here on the east coast 5 o'clock a your might be on the road somewhere, trying to find a spot. if there is a shortage husband, steve declared in wages with truckers, between 1977 and 987 truck compensation fell but i'm 35 percent the average truck. her salary is now around $50000.00 a year. but there is another stock. sophistic trucking has an overall job turnover
