oh, we bought, we need to take america to trying to bring people together trying to deal with people who can left behind. ah, with a $100000.00 russian soldiers amassed at ukraine's board of the un security council is to hold a crisis beating. ah, hello again. i'm adrian finnegan. this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up. the long awaited trial of those accused of assassinating burkina faso as president thomas and kata is suspended. following last week's been a free crew. britton's prime minister boris johnson receives a report from the investigation into lockdown gatherings held of his residence,

emmans, who the rebels talk at the u. e. again provoking counter attacks at a shop from space. north korea's latest missile launch puts areas including the u. s. territory of guam within striking distance. ah, in less than an hour from now the u. s. in russia will face each other across the table of the un security council over ukraine. met the states will meet for the 1st time to discuss the crisis. as russia continues to amass troops along ukraine's board up and deployed fighter jets in the region. let's go live now to the united nations in new york, on diplomatic editor, james bass. is the james, the u. s. cold, the spacing. why now? well yes, there's been lots of discussion about why not have a meeting before now, and i think the reason for that is the u. s. and it's western allies have been

trying to prepare the ground to work with not just other members of the security council, but other members of the united nations across the wider membership, a 193 countries trying to persuade countries that this is a significant issue of international peace and security and not just a regional european issue. the reason to have it right now to day rather than to morrow is i think, clear when you look at who's going to be the president of the un security council for february. because russia is going to assume the presidency for the whole month of february. they couldn't stop a meeting by being president, but they can control some elements of the timing of security council meetings and who's going to brief the security council. having said all that, russia may try and stop this meeting when it starts in about an hour's time. but now from now, we're gonna see the ambassadors that all come in down. this corridor into the security council into the chamber there were hearing that russia might try and force a procedural vote, say to the other members of the council. this isn't an issue of international peace

and security. nothing is actually happened here. and if they do, then all of the council members will get to vote whether to have the meeting or not . and they're in a procedural though, there are no veto. so russia can't use its veto. but the u. s. and its european allies have got to get 9 out of the total of 15 votes in favor. so i think we're going to see some high drama, potentially before the but the meeting even takes place cedrin. all right, so if the meeting goes ahead, what we expected, come out of it. how can the security council help the situation? well, we've seen this movie before, back in 2014. we watched numerous meetings of the security council when russia took crimea. and ultimately, the problem for those that want to criticize actions like that is that russia, a permanent member of the security council, it has vito power, it can stop the security council doing in effect despite that diplomat say,

it's very important to the issues i've been speaking to spend the oregon and he's the ambassador of a stone. yeah, that's one of the countries that feels vulnerable to russia as a border with russia. it's a member of nato, and it was on the security council until the end of last year. the question of course, is also just to have a discussion or maybe to also have a resolution or a product. and that is something where the we're a veto comes to play and it's quite obvious that it will be veto russia. but i think that the discussing and debating this also looking at the tasks of, of security council daddy's international peace and security. then the issue that we are talking about right now is very clearly something that belongs to the table, the security council. and i think that's the aim of, of the u. s. and the western countries, the chamber, the iconic chamber, just through that door, that is the ultimate court of internet, national peace and security in the un system,

which russian plays an important part in as a permanent member. and i think they want to add the issue in that room and persuade the world that the russian build up is wrong. how to provide to get into james space reporting live after the u. n. a. new york. james many thanks and days . britain was prime minister, boris johnson says that he plans to speak to president for they may have put in this week and watch him to de escalate. we really will need to step back from the break and, and i think, oh rush. and he said that from the bring, i think that an invasion of ukraine in any incursion into ukraine, beyond the territory that russia has already taken in, in 2014 would be absolute disaster for the world. but above all, it will be disaster for russia. on the domestic front forest, johnson has received an initial version of the report in 2 lockdown gatherings held at his residence. an update for some of its findings are withheld due to a separate police investigation into the reported rule breaches. johnson is

expected to make a statement later on. monday he's faced calls to resign. let's go live not a downing street in london. i'll just hear us pull printing pregnant is there so paul, it's sue gray day at last or is it the pm's only received an update on the report? what does update mean? well, an update is considerably short of the full report that we were hoping for at this point. don't forget, it's been more than a week since it was originally due, and then the metropolitan police is rather extraordinarily belated intervention at the tail end of last week. i really put the cats among the pigeons as to exactly how much of su grey's internal investigation into what went on during locked down in the building. busy behind me and whether or not the prime minister was i to blame for any of it. i'm really as well it's been torpedoed in many ways. now, what we know is that at some point before 330 this afternoon of the update that su

gray has provided to down the street will be published on the gov dot u. k. official government website. we've all been frantically refreshing our smartphones, but this is not appeared as yet. and a $330.00. the prime minister will stand up in parliament and address empties. there's 2, what at sue gray has found, but it does seem to been robbed of some of its power by the metropolitan police's request. that sue gray stay way form or at least make minimal reference to 8 of the main incidence that the police believe that they need to investigate. so what are we left with? well, not much would be the sums the, the supposition, but we'll have to wait and see when we finally get to see this rather truncated version of what su grey originally intended. and once we knew is the prime minister's future, still a stake pool. well, a lot will depend on what conservative m p 's, members of his own party maintenance make of it all. now there's been a lot of dismay among opposition and piece that the fact about the fact that the

full report may never see the light of day. and there was a lobby briefing that is members of the parliamentary reporting circle. if you like . i'd premise the spokesman saying that once this update has been published, it may be that they don't actually publish the full final version when so gray releases it at some point in the future. not, but whether or not at the end or he's feel that what su grey has said in this update is enough for them to start submitting or letters of no confidence. i 54 letters required to force a leadership campaign or a leadership contest. i very much open to the 1st of all what the prime and the says a 330 and 2nd of all how it's received by those m. p.

military cru. 14 people accused of killing revolutionary lita, thomas and kata in 1987. what you in course, on monday, another escalation and yemen 7 year war who the rebels, the tax, the united, ama ram, or arab emirates, with what they say on drones and miss isles. the u. e says that it is to set to just one ballistic missile early on monday. i'm 30 minutes later. destroyed miss our lord, chuck and who's the control jobs province. i'll just say was mohammed a tom reports the target was clear, united arab emirates, striking back against host the missile bases in yemen is the latest retaliation of debris from i hold the missile attack earlier on monday. landed in a remote part of i will bobby marble. i doesn't know how much critical installations in abu dhabi were targeted by a number of listed muscles. also, the immersive to buy was targeted by number of drones. the operation by the grace

of god, hid its targets with high precision, no emergency or visual se, airports operating as normal. and the healthy did not have an impacts. ah, but the strike coincide with these really presidents at 1st visit to above. and at a time of increased fighting between the hoses and the saudi quality in yemen, we reiterate that the enemy state, the united arab emirates will remain an unsafe country so long as they continuously belligerence against our beloved human people. earlier this month, how the dunes twice on the you a capital kill 3 people. on sunday, the us state department as the americans to create consider any travel to the united emeralds, siding threats of missile attacks. the situation is becoming more dangerous because the nature of weaponry that's being used in these attacks is becoming more desolate

. and that's all the more reason why one hopes that the parties will be able to find some way to resolve this contract this conflict. but diplomacy has yet to solve this original conflict that has been going on for years and created the world's worst human italian crisis. mom a lot, bob lazoodo. some of the i mean of cas shake to me in been how funny is meeting us president joe biting for the 1st time at the whitehouse in the coming hours. the standoff between washer and ukraine, european gas supplies. and i've chemist on some of the issues on the agenda for more on this. let's bring it. i'll just see this. allen fisher who's in washington for us. alan. such a turn around for consol back to being a major us ally after being really frozen out of the start of the trumpet ministration. i'm guessing that's due to afghanistan, which will be one of the major issues discussed today. was there so many things

that katana has its its hands on the lever for when boz u. s. foreign policy. one of them, as you say, riley is afghanistan at the a me it is about to start a meeting with secretary of defense, lloyd austin. there, there, we'll talk about what the americans of cold over the horizon efforts to a day extinguish any threat to us national interest in afghanistan. those will be launched on was certainly from the large us air base and katara at the also the, remember there a number of afghan refugees her on that base. the been there for almost 6 months. the categories, want to make sure that the process for getting these refugees into the united states is speeded up at the moment. take somewhere between 2 to 5 years. they want to see that expedited so that a lot of the refugees are getting into the u. s. with the possibility of getting a green card within one to 3 months. what are we hearing about ukraine allen?

well, clearly the idea of a sanctions against russia is something that a joe biden is thinking about. but he is aware that if he does take sanctions against russia, if we were to invade ukraine, the russians could quite simply turn off the gas tap to europe. and that would hit millions of people across the country. so they're trying to source alternative sources of energy. one person to go to would be katara. and the emir because of course, katara has a large supply of liquid natural gas that it already operating in full capacity. but they might be able to divert some reserves. they might also be able to talk to some other suppliers to see if they can send some to europe if there was a need. so that is going to be key to the talks in the oval office in the coming hours. finally, i put a business on the table as well. well, every american presence likes to show that he's bringing in business here. the communities about to sign a deal for safety for new triple 7, x freighters are,

which are aircraft from boeing. it's worth about $14000000000.00. there's a possibility that they could buy at least another 6 more. so joe biden will be delighted with that. and of course, the meat of guitar is always a grateful to, to show that he is a spending money with the americans as well. because if there's one thing that certainly shores up alliances, it is a someone spending money with the americans important to know as well that the me, it will be the fust gulf leader to be invited to the white house since joe biden, to cough is just over a year ago, out as harris allen fisher reporting live there from washington manufacture date allen. north korea has released photos as proof that it conducted its most powerful missile test in 4 years. its latest and a flurry of missile testing activity as enter chappelle reports. the latest image is released by north korea are striking on sunday, a test fired and intermediate range, ballistic missile. the house on 12. that is nuclear capable. it reached

a height of 2000 kilometers, taking pictures of the korean peninsula along the way. but it has arranged 4500 kilometers far enough to reach the u. s. territory of guam. but it's not the most powerful ballistic missile and kim john urns arsenal and 2017 north korea tested the last song 14 and 15. the latter of which could in theory, reach the continental united states. and in 2020 it showed often even larger icbm, which hasn't been tested yet. cruise spend a lot of time and investment in the past 23 years. certainly during cove, it in developing some of its missile capabilities and that, that is a line very closely with a 5 year weapons planned. the north career announced at the beginning of 2021 with the aim to develop capabilities that will enable the north korea to fight a modern, a modern conflict. yeah, the u. s. one. direct talk north korea. we've offered this over and over to,

to the do p r k, and they've not accepted it. so the question is, what's can germans game plan? so not aren't actually really pudding for much right now, right? i mean, to have to actually show up in order to strive to deal with with the buying the on . so i'm actually again, i kind of surprised with the pace of the task because my sense of the bind people willing to talk if the group shop it was north korea 7th missile test. in january, a new record itself imposed moratorium on missile test appears. well, and truly at an end and her chappelle i'll to 0 just a few days to go out the whole the winter olympic games opened in beijing. athletes have been arriving. but under strict cove at 19 protocols, team members, coaches support staff and media are in utterly big bubble to keep them separate from the public. they'll be tested daily. i'll just hear as katrina, year reports from paging. chinese authorities have pledged to deliver

a safe and secure winter games, but they're struggling to contain the mounting case numbers of covered 1900 within the bubble. so according to official information about 7000 people have arrived in china, head of the games been already 176 people at least have tested positive. now, officials here trying to come many concerns saying that there is no outbreak within the bubble, per se, and the catching most of these infections at the airport. now there is a very rigorous system in place to try to keep tabs of people who do have covered 19, not only 2 people have to register the temperature every day for 14 days leading up to their flight to china. they have to test at the airport and then every day they are in beijing, they have to start the day with another curve at 19 test. well that's done. it's created a very tense environment within the bubble athletes and the support teams of terrified of catching curve in 1900. because if you do test positive, you will immediately be separated and quarantined. and you will only be allowed to

return to normal routine once your test negative twice. so there is a very big chance of completely missing out on your competition. and that means 4 years of preparations would go to waste. but unfortunately, already a lividity in snowboarder, swedish skia, and a russian by athlete have been among those who have tested positive, a cabinet minister in hong kong. a step down to attending a birthday party, despise a government call for people to avoid large gatherings. casper, 3 was the home affairs minister, a rising figure, the prob, aging political party, the d a. b. the celebrations become a source of embarrassment for hong kong. as chief executive, kerry lam among the 200 guests to the party. but more than a dozen top politicians, including the cities, police immigration, and anti corruption chiefs, a full gum guy. his conduct has brought the hong kong government into disrepute and he and his action has set cost a negative

solved in silencing one voice. there is a misinformation challenge tied to joe rogan in particular, but there's also a broader mist information problem, i think in this entire ecosystem that is a lot more challenging simply because it is so decentralized and there isn't really one platform. there isn't really one player involved who can take the lead and moderating. it's very decentralized. you know, you basically could be playing effectively whack of all the fall out began when rockstar neil young accused rogan of spreading misinformation while offering spotify an old maiden. remove his work or the comedians, the singer joanie mitchell soon followed, announcing her solidarity with young and while the streaming service says it has removed more than 20000 podcast episodes. that cover covert 19 since the start of
