a mirror will visit the white house on monday. the crisis has prompted one of the biggest mobilizations of western forces in europe. a 3rd shipment of american weapons and ammunition arrived in kiev on tuesday. and russia is holding a week of military drills their, their border with ukraine and, and annex crimea. but says it has no plans to attack sources. jabari has more for moscow. russia is now waiting for that official written response from the us government about the security guarantees that they want to have from the us and nato, about their possible expansion of the 30 member alliance. the russian foreign minister was giving a briefing at the state parliament that it's called to do my here. and he also spoke briefly to journalists outside the parliament. and he went on to say that they expect a response from the americans in the appropriate amount of time that they've given

them. that is by the end of this week. and there's no reason to believe that the americans won't deliver in time. they also said that they have to look out for the best interests, russia, thinking about only its own interest right now, and that they will do whatever is necessary if they don't get the response that they're looking for. a certain lover of also went on to say that they believe the west has gotten themselves into the situation that they're in. now they back themselves into a corner in terms of really supporting ukraine and creating what they call a false narrative. interestingly enough, we've also been hearing from other m, p, 's and senators in the government who are now floating, the idea and supporting a possible idea of kremlin as supplying arms to the self proclaimed dumbass republic. that is the 1st we've heard of this idea, and it is something that both houses of parliament are now saying they would support and they are going to take it to the government to see whether or not that

will move forward of the ukrainian foreign minister, admit that the number of russian troops, a mass at the border is a direct threat. for now it's insufficient for a full scale attack. moreover, they also, they still lack some important military indicators and systems to conduct such a large full scale offensive. it doesn't mean that they want to be able to build up on this, sir. this force up to the sufficient level, within certain period of time, many in eastern ukraine had been living with conflict for years. an estimated 14000 people have died in fighting between russian back separate assign ukrainian forces . and as the international standoff continues, prospects for peace in the region are looking even more fragile or the abdul hamid reports from of div car in the winter see the

landscape at the frontline of this conflict seems frozen in time. the ukrainian army is entrenched just a few kilometers north of done. yes. the stronghold of russian back separatist. the enemy is not far away. so and you do all one phone with me. so they can they hear us too? ok. the army has moved into what is left of the industrial area on the outskirts of at the fca. the conflict also seems to be frozen in time. neither side making gains since the war broke out in 2014. few soldiers believed that the large scale russian invasion is imminent, even if they remain on alert. shopper, york was so store to use and i think this was all a move to the stabilize the situation inside the country was been going on for 8 years now, but we're trained, we have modern weapons and the hell from nato was arriving. but we feel the support

and we are ready to fight. and just don't you gunshots from the other side. in clear violation of deceased by agreement, which international monitors say is regularly breached by both sides. but even of the conflict has been at that stage made for several years now. life has never really fully recovered in the towns and villages along the contact line. people here feeling that their lives have also been put on hold somehow. the population of ad viva is a 3rd smaller than before. the war started only in their yohina and yet in the us they love sky among the very few who never left their hometown. diaries beneath the giggles in the tool of the conflict is apparent. their story is a reflection of the frontline in some way i am all in as ukrainian and then the

some of her close relative support to separate just know him to stick out enough. those that are near and it turned their back on us you. they have their own vision about what's happening and they say, we are not cease. what are some even call to me an enemy and the full meaning of the word and yelling i moved here from siberia. when the soviet union still existed . said no, my pleasure. my relatives are all over russia. and when the war started, they told me i had to return soon, but i had my house and family here. many of them mine the military. so for them, i betrayed my allegiance to russia. people here have learned to live to the rhythm of the front line, but the devastating effect of this long sluggish war will impact their lives. many say for several generations to come with abdul hamid al jazeera at v fca in eastern ukraine and the u. k. prime minister boris johnson has continued to resist calls to resign as he faced and p as in parliament. johnson refused to comment on an

internal investigation into whether his government held gatherings in breach of covered 19 roles. the findings are expected to be published soon. police are also investigating the opposition leader chemist armor called on johnson to stand down suggesting he broke the ministerial code on the 1st of december, the promised to told this house in relation to parties during lockdown. all guidance was followed completely in number 10 from that dispatch books. on the 8th of december looks quizzical. he said it. on the 8th of december, the prime minister told this house. i have been repeatedly assured since these allegations of merge the walls no party. so since acknowledges the minister of quote applies to him when he now resign. oh, cynthia cynthia surveyed about to bid restrictions. let me just remind the house

and indeed remind the country that he has been relentlessly opportunistic. ah, yes, yes. yes, it will from one side to the other and he would have kept off. he would have kept tossing lockdown in the summer barbara and joining us from downing st. paul to tell us more about the prime minister's questions that took place earlier on. and whether we heard anything new well, it's typically rowdy session of feminist as questions. it happens every week. but the key points that here saw are the leaders, the opposition was trying to get across was the poorest johnson in parliament has said a number of things in the past, which may end up being contradicted by su grace report. so those reassurances, both on the 1st of december and the 8th of december about the fact that there were no parties going on, it now appears have been overtaken by events. and if so, grace report confirms that the gatherings class qualified as party think clearly

what sir kissed armor is saying is that sir boris johnson can be shown to have misled the house. and in ministerial rules terms, that's a resigning matter. it was a rather carefully constructed question, boris johnson, on the other hand, is absolutely adamant that festival. he won't comment about the allegations while the investigation is ongoing and we still have not to graze report released. but at the, at the, from the bottom line is he, he won't resign. not the latest on the progress of the release of the report that has been a post from in his questions lobby briefing at 2 journalists. and what they've said is that the report still hasn't landed here at danny's feet where it would arrive 1st before it then gets published. the other thing that came out of that was that some dentistry guarantees that it will be made available a short time before boris johnson will come to parliament to make a statement about that report and the intention in inverted commas. the intention is to publish the report in the form the downing street receives it was some

concern that there might be reductions. so we still haven't got it. take full as talk a good as the hours facets looking, perhaps more likely that it might even be tomorrow. but the anticipation is certainly increasing the pressure surrounding the support and the face of both jones. yeah. and the, and the pool. so, i mean, you know, taking into consideration all this is going on how and how that is this for the prime minister and just talk us through sort of depressor and that's on him from within his own party. yeah, i mean it's pretty, please come in these, these feminist questions are, are always tribal affairs. it, it's usually conservative versus labor, but one side of the house against the other side of the house. but in recent weeks, there boys, johnson's biggest challenge as bit has been his own and peace and members of his own parliamentary party. who have been that will disquiet is probably a gentle way of describing it in the way that the prime minister has tried to win

them over, has also raised eyebrow sooner. the actions of a group of officials called the whips suit are effectively meant a stronger m m p 's into voting the way the government wants a vote allegations that they have really overstepped the mark to the points of perhaps even black mailing and piece not left a bad taste in the mouth of many of verb, but boris johnson's own and peace. what, what's crucial is that he needs that support if 54 of those m. p 's decide to turn against him and, and submit a letter of no confidence to a committee pulled in 1922 committee. then there will be a leadership challenge to both johnson and no confidence that we're not there yet. many m. p 's are waiting for the outcome of the su gray report that to decide whether or not they're going to submit that side. the type of letter and bit as it stands for is johnson is really, but is struggling for his political life. thank you so much, paul brennan, reporting in london, fill out on al jazeera hong kong tightens restrictions in 3 apartment blocks and struggles to maintain a 0 cover policy. and it's the 1st country to adopt the world's biggest crypto

countries because of the pain. they shouldn't be abused a 2nd time. it's like torture. that was the voice of alarmed ahmed, hama, a kurdish refugee who had hoped to reach his mother living in the u. k. we 1st met holland in a polish hospital in december, in obvious distress, having been rescued in the forest, a book. mm hm. he was taken away shortly afterwards by the border gods, despite pleased by human rights activist, monica, to fall, cosca that he be given mental health support, alarmed was detained. it's melinda professionally, is taking me sunday, the noodles and me and he's very upset to be in a place like that gun. he doesn't fully understand it. he knows that he crossed the border legally, but he doesn't understand why he finds himself and conditions like that on up to 1800 detained asylum seekers. in 8 camps of launched hunger strikes and sometimes

violent protests over conditions. the polish government says this is why they're locked up in the 1st place. aid agencies call it a deliberate policy of deterrence. my name is ron now. and i want to go then he to ended up in detention. this isn't worse than them because you know, even, and then you know, when you get out, you can make sure you're in the, you can, you know, if you have access to the media to organization that can come in here. and there's nobody can come here and you don't know when you can well, and that's the borderline over there. through that gap in the forest, on the other side, bellow roots where several 100 people remain of the few 1000. that last year, belarus actively encouraged to break, came to poland and the european union. it touched off a geo, political, and humanitarian crisis. that's no longer making headlines around the world,

have no choice but to extend the a restricted testing declaration for another 2 days. those in lockdown say the government orders have been confusing. sure. tom came out a little. the government announced that arrangement ferry late. we have no idea when to go for the man, his retest. i think the government's plan is without doubt the vision sort of it is inconvenient for our the lead like b. we are not familiar with smartphone. people living here say that the daily cues for testing make them anxious. because the area is overcrowded and waiting times can be too long for hygiene conditions and piles of rubbish are all so a concern fees on the little very bell o table there is garbage in the stair cases every day. the government's arrangement is very bad too. as you can see from this queue, it is much easier to get coded and many worry that the strict lockdown will be extended beyond friday and into the chinese lunar new year holiday, which begins next week. the restrictions are part of hong kong goal of stamping out

old clothing transmission. yeah, i think the, the reason why we are adopting a dynamics, neural policies to minimize the stress on the health care system or even the only crime we know this very moral disease. and that, of course, kearney doubt relatively few cases in hospital and i think non in are you right now? the strict locked down here at quite till the state is an unprecedented move by the hong kong government. it's similar to the strategies seen across the border and mainland china, which also takes a no tolerance approach to the virus concerned to in china's capital. the winter olympics are due to start next week in beijing. mass testing for 2000000 residence is underway in the southern sung tide district of beijing as infections, their increase china hopes, mass testing and aggressive quarantine rules will contain the virus. but as it prepares to ring in the year of the taiga, ongoing restrictions of proving that army, kron is tough to tame brit clinic al jazeera,

read. well, not really. people are afraid of the government, but this time they're not too serious about imposing restrictions. secondly, the hyperinflation has also made our life miserable. and we either have to earn a living or die of hunger for where he moth. hi, sherry, wearing a mask is good for one's own safety and it's not so expensive that no one can afford it. but here most of the people are ignorant of the seriousness of corona virus. indeed, or dangerous trend. also given the fact that the world health organization has worn that they may be new reading under the people who are dig this seriously. however, what we have seen in the video for shaw is our doctor, lack of cooperation from the people at log and your daughter did on no way to be seen when it comes through a heading. and for thing, go to strict regulation. only i am a fun cell, so i have a dora to stop using bitcoin as a legal tender. it says the use of the crypto currency poses risks to financial

stability and consumers. el salvador, as president supported the adoption of bitcoin as a currency in september. john holeman reports from san salvador la september, and so with the was a 1st country in the world to approve the use of bitcoin, the crypto currency as legal tender along with the currency that have been used for some time in the country, which is the us dollar, as you can see, one of the cash points behind me could chiva, which you can change bit coins into dollars. but this tuesday, the international monetary fund has said, has recommended that the contract you stop doing that. they stopped using bitcoin as one of the legal currencies in the country. the reason for that, they said that it could impact the financial at system in institutions. that it could also carry a risk, the consumers in the country because bitcoin goes up. but it also goes down, this is a pretty volatile crypto currency. now that could be a problem for salvador. and that's because the country is quite in debt. and it's

been looking for a loan from the, from the international monetary fund. one of the things that the international monetary fund has been worried about, given that load, has been the use of bitcoin in the country. so now it seems, there's 2 ways that president naive bu kelly can go. he can even stop using it unlikely, and possibly get that help from the international monetary fund. or he can double down or bake coit, which is actually planning to do at the moment. he's planning a big coin city in which bitcoin is mind. he's also planning. so called volcano bones which are about a volcano that can be mine is an energy can be used to my big coin. and he's aiming to sell those, those a link to help with bitcoin as well. so a sort of decision point is approaching for this country or salvador to really go with big coin these potentially lucrative or bullet. but also volatile crypto currency, or perhaps to go with a help from the international monetary fund. australia is observing its national

day with celebrations and protests. it's the date when the 1st british ship sailed into present day sydney in 1788, an arrival that marked a start of colonization alleys haven't taken place against the oppression of the indigenous people. sarah clark has more from brisbin ah, celebrations began at 1st light with his trillion flag raised alongside indigenous dances at a traditional smoking ceremony. january 26 is the country's official national di marketing the arrival of the 1st flight of ships from britain in sydney cove. in 1788. effectively founding australia, despite all we have endured and the challenges that are still ahead, i'm just thankful to be in a stride him and to live in australia with my family. this land we call home. but while some celebrated others chose to protest demonstrations were held in most major city. the protest is called january 26, invasion de dice,

8 marks the start of colonization. and the genocide of aboriginal australians and people from the top right audience. and they want events to focus on what they say are injustices faced by the nation's 1st people. charlie does not represent the data morning operational label, and i think that it was january accorded more and more responsible for the way we didn't think that's our long street. i wasn't fully celebrated on january 26 until it became official in 1994. but many want this day changed or scrapped entirely to make way for come immigration, that recognizes indigenous australians and a history of dispossession. indigenous laid it. so it's important to address the inequality faced by the aboriginal communities for centuries. we do have to change attitudes about how 1st notion stable i traded instruction. we have to reduce the i

and ration rice sessions. people. there are way too many less getting testing in our country in all of the, in the city and disadvantage is still quite large between aboriginal and non aboriginal styles. and so mccarthy says a strategy and i should be an event that allows the country to reunite a view that supported by an increasing number of people in a struggle. sir, al jazeera brisbin, australia ah, hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, russia, foreign minister says appropriate measures will be taken if the u. s. fails to comply with security demands. moscow ones guarantees on limits to nato expansion. durso jabari has more for moscow.
