together trying to deal with people who left behind ah the u. s. sakes un security council intervention of the ukraine, as joe biden promised, as a decisive response, if russia in bates. but russia says it's left with little room for optimism, even while insisting it doesn't want to go to wal ah, hello again, i'm come all santa maria here in doha. this is the world news from al jazeera. we have also his new military rule that promises to restore order, but only when certain conditions are met and honduras was in its 1st female

president. but problems within her policy mean a rocky stars will see america starting ah so developments in ukraine 1st o u. s. president joe biden has reiterated to his ukranian, count about washington's readiness to respond decisively if russia invites the country, however, the diplomatic word is still being pursued. the u. s. has requested a un security council meeting on monday to discuss what it called russia's threatening behavior, mo, from a diplomatic eta to james, based on whether there is still a chance to avoid a military confrontation. recent weeks of scene, an unprecedented flurry of diplomacy efforts have intensified as the threat of war grows. a war many believe could now be imminent and very dangerous.

meanwhile, troops, tanks and weapons continue to mess in eastern europe. russian forces surround ukraine, nato is reinforcing its members the board of russia while some members of the alliance, but notably not germany ascending anti tank and anti aircraft missiles to ukraine. so is there now a way to stop this march to war? span juergen, son is a stone, is ambassador to the united nations. his country is a neighbor to russia and until the end of last year served on the security council, there's always room for comp compromise. but the question is, does russia want to compromise? because if you look at the demands that russia has put forward to united states and nato, then just reading through them, it's absolutely obvious that the soul is just nonsense. it's deliberately grafted in a way that there couldn't be any compromise the leader of another nato nation. again, with a border with russia, norwegian prime minister,

yona sca stora has told me despite the difficulties, no efforts should be spared to find a diplomatic solution. i simply state and i observe up now there are talks going on . there's a channel of communication, and i would appeal to those who sit those table use those channels at the maximum. and on the nato side and the euro atlantic site, i believe there is a very strong unity on the principles and very care messages in the communication. much the problem is that russia's foreign minister, sir g, a lab, ralph has made his country's demands in public. and in writing, russia says ukraine must never join nato and the poland and the 3 baltic states which will nato members must be allowed to have troops or weapons from other nato countries on their soil. alone and producing in the main question is our clear message that we consider further nato expansion to the east and weapons deployment, which can threaten the russian federation. unacceptable. one expert on the region

warns that can only be a compromise if russia tables a new proposal, something that's more palatable to nato. the best compromise would come in russia put something else on the table that the west was willing and able to provide. if russia looks at the general state of unity between europe and the united states, if it look at the kind of economic pleasures that have been promised in case of an incursion and decided that cost didn't work, that, that the need to maintain business and economic ties. to europe is important enough for where russia wants to be in the future that jeopardizing that isn't worth it. some experts believe that president putin may not have decided yet whether he's going to invade ukraine. the 1st meeting of the un security council on the current crisis is expected on monday, and russia were looking for the support of china. and that's why some diplomats believe the russians may wait to launch military action until the event that china

. for countries all around the world all the time because it feels that it has a primordial duty to keep americans out of harm's way. it shouldn't have any will impact on the relationship between the 2 countries. earlier in the week after a both of these a who the attacks on to us on targets inside the u. e. the u. s. was a very quick to say that it was a continuing, it's strong defense relationship with the emerald t. a military providing training and material to help them intercept any possible attacks from who the territory. but of course, the bigger thing that the u. s. government is concerned about is the fact that the civil war in yemen has not been resolved. and it is trying to push for a quick resolution of that war while also are reminding its allies own notably the saudis, who have been leading the push back as it were,

to refrain from doing anything that would harm yamini civilians still in the earth . and president job idence concerned he will nominate the 1st black woman to the supreme court, but didn't say who is nobody would be but pledged to announce a decision before the end of february. and he praised the outgoing justice, steven briar for 27 years on america's highest judicial body. more from kimberly, how could now in washington i'm here today to express the nation's gratitude. to justice steven brier, he served on the nation's highest court for more than a quarter century presiding over some of its most controversial cases from abortion to the environment. but on thursday, you, as president joe biden announced the 83 year old supreme court justice steven briar with stepping down. i think he's a model public servant in a time of great division in this country. brier was nominated to the court by democratic president bill clinton in 1994. as he reflected on his years on the

bench briar concluded, the united states is a complicated nation. we know it's a kind of miracle when you sit there and see all those people in front of you. yeah . the people that are so different than what they find. and yet they've decided to help solve their major differences under law briar plans to step down this summer. when the supreme court completes its term, his replacement biden affirms will fulfill a campaign pledge to make history person i will nominee and be some of the extraordinary qualifications, character, experience and integrity. and that person will be the 1st black woman ever nominated united states supreme court. long overdue my bite and says he's vetting candidates. and we'll announce his nominee next month. one that won't alter the

ideological makeup of the court. that currently leant conservative, but the decision to nominate a qualified black woman is deliberate, biden's, eager to please black voters whose support he relied on in the 2020 election. the timing is no accident with mid term elections for the u. s. congress coming up in november biden needs to deliver something to motivate voters. he needs a when, because already to be quite honest, ah, present by has not been able to get his agenda pathway to policing and reform the george lloyd bill. he's not been able to get any agenda pass with respect to voting rights. the new justice is expected to be younger and could sit on the court for decades. the senate has promised to take up biden's nomination quickly. president biden wants a quick confirmation of his nominee. well, democrat, still controlled the senate after congressional elections in november. that's no

guarantee republicans could take control and block any future by denomination to the supreme court. kimberly help get al jazeera, the white house of british prime minister bars. johnson's confirmed he intends to release a complete report and to the parties at his residence during locked on senior civil servant. sir grey has been investigating social gatherings at number 10 downing street, which were allegedly in breach of corona virus restrictions up time. are you delaying the suit, gray ripple? absolutely not. but you'll just after on the phrase, you've got to let the independent inquiries go on. when, when you think it'll be fun, i wish i corey. so any more than what i said yesterday, but i'm really publish it in full. of course. no doubt has been often with a poland. new board of war will do much to stop people crossing illegally from the race. it started construction on the structure that was promised after

a migrant crisis on the eastern region last year. but those meant to be deterred from crossing it. say they have a little choice but to try to help with the support and from because nature in eastern poland once complete in the summer, poland wall will be a 186 kilometers long. almost half the length of the borderline with bell roofs. will it stop almost daily attempts by refugees and migrants to make the illegal crossing? probably not according to a kurdish immigration lawyer who spoke to al jazeera, especially if, as he is widely alleged, they continue to get help from bella. russian border guards. actually, all is not is not useful, lee knows that the maintenance can find another way. and maybe as you know, as i told is that this helps them to cross the border. and of course they find another place ragas. put us in touch with nisa occurred this refugee who with his

family, including young children, is among hundreds living in a warehouse on the bell russian side. i asked nisa if he was aware that poland is building a wall to keep people like him out. last year because what can we do? we have to wait. we can go back to our country when not part of the political problem between belarus and poland. we just want to cross the border and get to safety in the european union. it's a familiar story told by desperate people fleeing circumstances they can no longer tolerate. they may be among them purely economic migrants as well. but poland makes little distinction, putting hundreds into asylum detention camps and simply pushing others back. the crisis that flared last autumn is now much reduced. thousands were allegedly lou to the bellows border on the false promise of an easy crossing. it was both

a cynical attempt by bella roost to destabilize parts of the e. u and also a political opportunity for the polish government, ponens wall being built at vast expense and partly through forests that are a unesco protected world heritage site is a pretty extraordinary answer to what is now a fairly minimal problem. is it worth it to stop small numbers of people trying to cross the border from bella? luce? well, it is. if you are a right wing populous government, state ron tv, news bulletins report the broadly popular claim that poland is doing its bit to protect the external borders of the e. u. from uncontrolled migration. public opposition to the government's policies does exist. we just like to let people know that maybe not everyone in paula is against people coming here from other parts of the world and we are

here for them. but their voices barely heard. jonah hall al jazeera in eastern podium. the european union is launching legal action against china at the will trade organization, the case centers on tension between china and you. member lithuania, vilnius alarmed taiwan to open a diplomatic office last year, bearing the name taiwan, and not chinese tie pe. they jenkins, who is taiwan as part of its territory. he was accusing china of holding up exports . now, from lithuania, at its border. these measures are threats to the integrity of the single market sale. fix the inter, you trade on your supply chains and say hello a negative effect on your industry. this is why they are stepping forwards to defend your rights. and to date, we are bringing the case to the w t o. to me and then the wind. he should under warranty. the issue between china and lithuania is a political one,

not in economic one. when the situation is the result of lithuania acting in bad faith. that hurts chinese interests. it's not a matter of china exerting pressure. on lithuania, it's a bilateral issue between the 2 countries and not something between china and the syrian refugees in lebanon. if i think severe conditions, heavy snow broken, many of the tents in the teva camp as people struggle to secure fuel for heating, many say they are not receiving adequate 8 out of us in our much. we haven't seen snow like this in around 4 years about 70, to 80 centimeters of snow and the whole camp was destroyed. the top holden's ruin and aid is not coming, not as no fuel. no wood is nothing we can buy. that's cold. and now children a thick where all thick finally turkey where record inflation and soaring price of the leaving many shop and struggling to make ends meet the central banks forecasting and inflation rate of 23 percent this year. the cynical julia reports

are, is stumble high inflation as a major talking point for all turks. the lira has lost nearly half of its value within the past year. as the central bank may steep cuts to interest rates, that also the policy cost prices to sor, including for energy and such as the ingredients for a turkish breakfast with us to make $1.00 kilo of this culture cheese, you need 11 liters of ra milt. the price of milk doubled with the increase on electricity, natural gas prices arising, our regular customers cut their consumption nearly 40 percent. kirk is inflation rate rocketed to 36 percent in december after a series of interest rate cuts demanded by president treasure type drum. it's the highest inflation rate since the election 20 years ago. marcia, we used to buy in kilos last year. now in grams for more than half of our

retirement salaries are being spent on gas electricity phone bills. on the 1st day, high prices are likely to remain a focus of stock market attention. the central bank is desperately seeking to rebuild foreign reserves, which fell more than 60 percent from mid december. so just $7500000000.00. years of further, inflation rises in the coming months terrified turkey minutes say the latest increase to the minimum wage and the pensions are not enough to make. and the central bank forecast the inflation rate of 23 percent. this here. some analysts thing that's optimistic and expect tours to come and we manage somehow we buy the cheapest things, but it's very difficult for larger families to manage. i don't know how things will work. responding to the economic challenges, government leaders and cur,

have implemented a series of measures during the past month to 1st savers, banks and companies to hold more lira rather than foreign currency. those measures studied the lira for now, but many fear the hopes of lowering inflation have already left the station and they will soon be paying an even bigger price for turkey is financial turmoil. the non castillo al jazeera stumble. ah ha, puffed the hour, and these are the top stories you as president joe biden has reiterated to is ukrainian, count about washington readiness to respond decisively if russia invades ukraine. the u. s. is also requested a public un security council meeting on monday to discuss what it calls russia's threatening behavior, rushes foreign ministry says the idea of.
