james space at the united nations in new york. it's in his head, and i cannot read his mind. but i choose to say no, because i think the options, all of them military interventions should be available to modern europe. we have a toolbox in europe that should be able to deal with these kind of issues. provide security to countries next to other countries without using the military option, which i believe is not an answer to the challenge. as you know, there is so much speculation. now will there be a full invasion? will he just take the dumbass? is he going to use as own profile cortez? is there going to be a puppet political figure? are they going to be renewed cyber attacks? how does nato calibrate it's response to so many different possibilities at this stage? well, i, you know, i think nate, those voice has to be clear, our, our kind of collective defense, reassurances concerns nato natal members. but we cannot be indifferent if there is

military force being used to cross borders against states in the, in europe. in 2022, that is unacceptable. so i am also very clear. you know, that if, if military means on the massive scale or military means that all is used to cross border and pressure all the countries, we should be really clear about that. it's not acceptable, it will have consequences, and that should be state to kelly, and i have experience know that the united states talking to russia has been very inclusive with european partners. it's very united nato, very united, your atlantic voice on these key principles. but on that basis, i still believe that the political track provides us with opportunities to find solution reassurances. and that's also up to the present and put into demonstrate that he can be at the table seeking solutions that can be constructive. not only for him, but also for his neighbors. and you can watch

a lot of people are waiting to see what's gonna happen in the coming days. and al jazeera nicholas hoc takes a look at what's behind this school and i was in the region recently. he sense of unease and uncertainty in burkina faso capital walker. dougal at the market. taylor city, my computer is worried burkina faso has a checkered past with a series of military coups since independence in 1960. he fears the latest military take over me so, disunity level. but the problem is we don't have peace in brooklyn a fast. so i hope the military didn't just come to take power. they need to bring back civilians, so they can go back to their work and defend the country. the army has suffered several defeats against arm groups linked to al qaeda. nice, so they appear to be gaining ground, forcing millions to flee towards the capital. soldiers seized power on monday by attacking the president's motorcade. the troops blamed president hawk mac eh, boy, and his civilian government for military defeats and increasing insecurity. the

president announced his resignation in a hand written note. it's not known where he is though french president emmanuel. my con, told reporters tuesday that he's been informed. cavalry is in good health. the us and west african regional organization echo us are urging the president's immediate release, their calling on the soldiers who mich near to return to their barracks. my appeal is for the armies of these countries to assume their professional role of armies to protect their countries. and re establish the democratic institutions just in the past year. they have been coups in chad, sudan, molly, and guinea. let's. this is the latest co in a region marked by military takeover as well. this is a said back to democracy. some see the military as able to succeed, where civilians have failed in bringing back security in a region marked by violence. despite the 14000 un peacekeepers and neighboring

molly as well as 5000 you and french soldiers in the region that the hell is facing unprecedented attacks and losses. booking of us were spared until 2015, when a popular uprising ended the 27 year rule, a former soldier less compelling that was seen as the beginning of the rest. while some now celebrate the qu, others fear a return to the past. this is an abrupt end to thee democracy, so many here had fought for nicholas hawk al jazeera, the car to australia. now where, while many are celebrating their national day with friends and family crowds gathering to protest against what they call invasion de january 26 marks for landing of the 1st fleet from britain in was now sidney in 1788 and the establishment of a penal colony, a growing number of australian se colonization led to oppression abuse and genocide of the indigenous people and shouldn't be celebrated. some want the date change,

sar crank has more from brisbin these rallies, they take place every year around the country. and that's happening once again in 2022 d. c. we have some of those relatives have to be cancelled. typically due to the, the social regulation and the, the cobit outbreaks, and ones that you've gone online. but we do a large number together. we think some already and kidney, some in brisbin and other capital cities and the rally that is not just addressing the concerns about the date of the study and public holiday. but they're also addressing the concerns about the indigenous australians and that the indigenous australians were. the 1st arrivals, not the, not the 11 ship a fleet of 11 convict ships to rod in 1788. and this year the rallies got other issues which they, including in these protests around the country and the pushing for issues like indigenous rights at the end of a black death in custody and child removal. i should also note that the end of history is the original of the aboriginal 10 embassy and camera. people have

visited, camera will know that that tenant has been it had all parliament and now for 50 years. but i'll miss simms when i, when the 11 convict kids arrived. and the critic site also marked the 1st day of the genocide against aboriginal people and torture at all. and as i should say, the mid the rally, we've got to see the mental is building with more more people support this and this year expecting more people together. those protests around the country still head on al jazeera, u. k. police investigate claims a forty's at downing street during long time, including the prime ministers on bay celebrations and failure to become the world's 1st fully organic farming nation. why she land gas to compensate more than a 1000000 life bonds? ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies. the weather sponsored my cattle

a ways. now there have been winter storm after wind to storm, recently starting in the east and met sweeping across the middle east. sweeping cold air down to the rain and go from this one's already doing it again. this is the next one on its way. so the big contrast with when the weather he and the event and down in the peninsula for example, is warmed up considerably in dough home friday. it was about 15 degrees and now it's up to about $23.00 by wednesday just because the wind stop blowing in the sun is still relatively strong, even in the middle of winter. but this is what's coming in. yes, admittedly, the weather in turkey is now better. a few snow showers in the north temperatures come yep, the sun is in the sky, but that cold pushed into levant all the way down to northern egypt. now when it comes in land, it you see how cold it is in a man. it should be about $23.00 by day and 4 by night. well, clearly it's not. it's for by day and that last right into the weekend and beyond. now, the stormy weather that was in turkey's money running across into iran and eventually

creek further, but on the side the sun is relevant, but the cold air always has to go somewhere and it sweeps down the shamal. so it looks like on friday, the jamal picks up again, and so for places like bahrain and cut on the way the temperature dropping a bit and the wind will be felt. oh, with sponsored by casara ways, julia the debate, they erased her, of right. people from the american and global story was very powerful on online, at your voice. the comment section is right here, join our conversation. we had all protected when everyone is protected. it is more of a play being nationalistic about those. you just look at it in a very different way, said that perspective men and mid meeting you try that and they don't have any solution. let me put it clear for you. this dream on al jazeera lou.

oh, here watching al jazeera, i remind her of our top stories. the u. s. is working on plans to reduce europe's defendants on russian gas tension, bills over ukraine, washington and it's european allies as cowering global markets for alternative sources in case moscow squeezes supplies. in retaliation for possible sanctions. and russia is holding a week of military drills in the region and in onyx, crimea, in ukraine, a 3rd shipment of american weapons and ammunition has arrived. it said that showing up ukrainian defense is against the threat of russian invasion. and rallies are underway in australia to protest against what they call invasion date. it takes place as many other celebrate national day. a growing number of people want the date changed to recognize the negative impacts of colonization on the indigenous

population. don't call now where 7000 residents at the center of a covered 19 cluster have been ordered to stay home after cases spread to a 3rd building. at least 200 people in the area of quite chung have now tested positive more than 2 and a half 1000 residents were supposed to be free from a 5 day lockdown on wednesday. but it's been extended until friday. rick kennedy has more from that site in hong kong. many of these people would be missing work shifts as you can see, they're lining up for mandatory testing behind me. they are allowed outside of their homes once a day for testing, but they've complained of long waits. they've complained that in some cases the testing areas have been quite crowded. they've also said that communication channels can be quite confusing that sometimes it takes too long to reach the hotline number. they get 3 meals delivered each day. they complain that the quality

of the food is sub par and there are also hygiene issues. we've seen piles of rubbish built up around the buildings here. so indeed it is quite challenging for these people and also their skepticism about whether that friday deadline will be extended. even more cases are hovering around a 120 a day and that might seem quite low compared to other major cities in the world. but for hong kong, that's the largest daily outbreak for since june 2020. so officials are indeed quite alarm. there are currently 2 classes. ok, so we've got this one here at quite young estate. that's an ami kron cluster. we've also got a 2nd delta cluster which authorities believe began through imported hamsters, which prompted a hamster coll and a color of other other pets as well. so suddenly, officials alarmed carry lam saying that she says a tsunami like outbreak could be looming, and that she probably will extend the lunar new year restrictions least in london,

have opened an investigation into parties held at government offices that allegedly violated covered 19 valves on mr. boyce johnson is under growing pressure to set down his most recently been accused of attending a birthday party, organized by his wife during the 1st lockdown in 2020 andy bober reports. ha, ha ha. june 2020, and school pupils which the visiting prime minister, a happy birthday day, the same day. his wife carry dozens of his colleagues and even their interior designer attended a birthday celebration with kc inside 10 downing street. now finally, for his johnson's the subject of a police investigation, weeks after reports emerged of parties in or near downing street during lockdown. i can confirm that the mat is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street and whitehall in the last 2

years in relation to potential breaches of covet 19 regulations. the move comes after officers working in downing street gave evidence to an existing internal government inquiry headed by civil servant su gray. that process is quite properly involved, sharing information continuously with the metropolitan police. so i welcome permits decision to conduct its own investigation because i believe this will help to give the public with clarity it needs and helped to draw a line under matters. the opposition labor parties repeated calls for boris johnson to resign, suggesting he'd like to parliament just weeks ago. mister speaker, the prime minister told this house there was no parking. how does the pay master general explain? now? i know across the country, people know, we know they have made up their minds about the prime minister. so when will his party capture? the prime minister, popularity and credibility ratings have tanked with every new report of alleged rule break. one you survey suggests 62 percent of the population think he should

step down. yeah, on his own vote for he's got a go pro roseville, go a 2nd so long as mean so many controversy so far and hasn't kicked him out of officer smith. have 1 pm at the moment, but many conservative m. p 's have insisted they'll wait until see grey's report is finished before deciding whether to trigger a leadership contest. so the latest twist could be a lifeline for the prime minister. because the irony is that the inquiry being conducted by the cabinet office, be glad i see gray, who is a senior, why whole civil servant will probably now be delayed because on these criminal proceedings are on the way the criminal investigation is on the way. ah, so in our sense boss, john, snatch the house and breathing space, breathing space perhaps, but with every day that passes, he knows there could be more damaging revelations. now there's the possibility of police action to nadine baba al jazeera. now with the world's highest mortality

rage, peruvians have suffered more than most in a pandemic in with only chron causing a sharp increase in infection. children now being hit hard, but 5000000 children as young as 5 years old, are now eligible to get vaccinated. arianna sanchez reports from paris capitol, lima 05 year old william particular doesn't like getting vaccinated, but his mother elizabeth couldn't be happier. he suffers from a rare decease. she says he sometimes runs from the house, putting his life in danger, but now he is protected there. last the i get the money thought and now i'll be relaxed with the vaccine. i know that he will be protected because at some point he gets infected. i won't be afraid that he could die, but yeah, i know other people's government has launched a vaccination campaign for 5 to 11 year olds. the aim is to vaccinate 4300000 nationwide. the on the chrome variant has health work is worried,

especially here at the national institute of children's health doctors here tweet rare or grave medical conditions, omega and lapse made our law. the covered cases have increased in 2 years. we've treated 5000 children with respiratory conditions and 350 were covered this year alone. we already have 800 patients diagnosed and it's because of omicron. the health ministry says nearly $850.00 children have died after contracting corano virus. since the pandemic began, in fact, the children occupy 2 thirds of all intensive care beds. the health minister says the number of children who test positive for coven 19 is likely to rise. this as health authorities warmed their closely showing a red alert. as there are only a few. i see you bit left that children around the country. doctors and parents hope the vaccination campaign go swiftly, especially because schools are expected to reopen in march. for 2 years,

most children have remained at home. the only lobbyist says his 7 year old boys, neuropathy, illness, worsened. recommend a phyllis there is the need to walk and walk the stress of not going out seeing friends or the countryside being in open space. israel has been very hard for them . oh, experts say the lockdown has had a devastating psychological effect on kids. but loony says his son can make up for some of the last time and get some relief with the certainty though, that he is protected against the virus medina center. so just see that lima be to to honduras now, where the country's 1st female president, shamar castro is said to be thorn in on thursday. but a split in the president elect, spotty, has parked gail in the national congress concerns in our growing as whether castro can implement political reform. once she takes office money or wrapping reports from the congress grants

a $100.00 is capital to go out by hunters continues to experience the start of a political crisis. now, we are actually inside the honduran congress. this is the floor of the main legislative chamber. now just days ago, tales broke out when a group of congressmen and women within the president elect sumani castro's own party broke rank to support a different candidate for president of congress than the one that castro had endorse. now since then, 2 separate presidents of congress have been sworn in, leaving just about everyone in the country, confused as to who legally is actually in control of the national congress. now as you can see, it's absolutely full of people. there is no security folks are free to come and go as they please. it's really a surreal site because this would normally be an area completely closed off to the public. but since the weekend, when honduran, president elect seal motto, castle ordered police to remove restrictions into the building. this whole area has

just been overrun. take a look or had been, was our latest? what get that almost all you have target starting at them. is it to they we too happy because we have the freedom to be in this space. i thought never in my life have i been inside here until now because it used to be fence tough so people would not come in that. and so we feel proud to have a government the cares about the people and we will support the president elect until the end it up. all your name was actually not. now, both sides of this disagreement continue to firmly hold their ground, meaning that there is no clear solution in sight. in the meantime, at least here inside of the honduran congress. chaos and confusion seem to be the order of the day. mexico's president is calling for a thorough investigation following the killing of a journalist in a recent weeks. the 3rd one in last week's made, his victim lordis land. anna lopez said she feared for life after suffering previous to a tax for her reports on corruption, sahara has more a crime scene that has become all teeth and journalist

across mexico nor dave maldonado. lopez had been targeted before doing her job, but this time she didn't survive. gunmen shot her, she waited in a car and she wanted santa fe neighborhood. police received a call, but it was too late when they arrived at the scene. the secretary of security and citizen protection had the responsibility to continue to offer security to lordis maldonado. she said that when she arrived home in the evening, it was when she felt most vulnerable. she did not have that protection. lopez is the 2nd journalist to be killed in mexico in less than a week, and the 3rd this month alone. on monday, another john this margarita martinez, who covered police and crime stories was also killed. the committee to protect journalist is called on mexico to investigate the attack thoroughly, and transparently came on me and the brutal reality of mexico nowadays is that the

federal state and the municipal government simply don't investigate crimes against the population in general or against human rights act. the business and journalist in 2019 lopez told mexican president andras manual lopez abroad or she'd fade for her life and all followed a labor dispute where she sued and influential former employee for unfair dismissal law suit. she won a few days ago e. she's really much, it is very painful, will happen into one and we will soon investigate. she was indeed here in the beginning of 2019 to make a complaint about a labor issue a she was assistant. unfortunately, this happen, we need to see if these as a nation is connected to the labor issue or not, and find who is responsible. mexico is one of the most dangerous countries for journalists more than a 100 media workers have been murdered in the last couple of decades. but tony, a fraction of those crimes have led to convictions. sir hired alger 0

thailand. government has given people the green light to grow. cannabis at home thailand was the 1st off east asian country to legalize my on a 2018 for medical use and research and a new role people will be able to grow the parents at home once they've notified local authorities. they'll need other licenses to grow it commercially. sri lanka has a mound, say, $200000000.00 compensation package for rice farmers. their crops failed last year in the wake of a sudden and unexpected ban on chemical fertilizers. the aimless, for sure land got to become the world's 1st fully organic farming nation. patrick holden is the founder founding director of the sustainable food trust. he says the government aspirations align with the paris agreement, but the plans could have been better executed to become an organic farmer or a sustainable farmer requires changes of practice. and if soils have been used to

receiving fertilizers and pesticides for many years, they will go somewhat cold turkey as it were, and they will need a period of adjustment. so i think that what the mistake that was made was not to invest more in farmer trading in rebuilding the soil and in helping the farmers financially through the transition period. and that will take time, but it's worth the effort. well, i can say that because i've been phoned got it really 50 years here. his father in west wales. i think there's not a country in the world or a farmer in the world. the space is not thinking about how they can change their farming practices to be more resilient against external shops, to improve food security, to address the nature crisis and the climate change pro crisis. but the challenge is how to go on that journey. and there are very successful examples all over the world now of farmers transitioning. but the transition will take time, as i said. and during that period of transition, it's economically challenging on sure,

the sri lankan farmers who refused the plan of the campaign that the government to go organic were worried and fearful about the, the consequences of a rapid transition. i can understand that, but it doesn't mean to say what the government was trying to do was wrong. ah, again, i'm fully back. you know, with the headlines on al jazeera, the u. s. is working on reducing europe's dependence on russian gas as tension bills of a ukraine, washington, any syrup, ian allies as carrying global markets for other sources in case moscow squeezes supplies. in retaliation against any sanctions. and russia is holding a week of military drills in the region and in antics crimea, in ukraine effort. shipment of american weapons and ammunition has arrived, as in joe biden, has warned, a russian invasion of ukraine would be a world changing event.
