on the money market is markets go faster, faster, we're opening up possibly for an instability, for no, no use with money box on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm not mathewson. this is the news. our live from doha. coming up with like 60 minutes ukraine's president promises to increase his armed forces by a 100000 soldiers as top diplomats from the u. s. and russia prepared to hold tolls . amnesty international accuses israel of apartheid saying it's maintained that system of oppression and domination of palestinians for decades.

oh, we define threats from the military protesters in miramar. mark one years is the pool and the u. s. 6 to foss, track the 1st corporate 19 vaccine for children under 5 years old. i'm joanna roscoe, but the sports is saudi arabia suffer set back in that bit to qualify for the world cup and over in africa we're here from between of us. so ahead of the semi final against cynical couple of nations. ah, we're going to begin this news. our was rising tension between russia and ukraine. kiev says it's planning to recruit a 100000 armed forces personnel in the next 3 years. but in his parliamentary address, president vladimir zelinski, called on politicians not to so panic about the threat of a russian invasion. u. s. secretary of state and russia's foreign minister are

expected to speak in a few hours while our white house correspondent, kimberly hall could stand by for us in washington dc. first of all, let's crossover to honda of the ha meet. she's joining us live from the ukrainian capital key f. honda. it seems as though we've got to diplomacy on a global scale, but also diplomacy on the ground and key f as well when and indeed it is. am in actually at the moment j, you feel that give has become the center of europe. now the prime minister of poland is in town. he has pledged, actually to give more supply more weapons to ukraine in the coming days and weeks. and also he has pledged to try to find a way to supply a ukraine with a gas that would sort of lighten up it sewing, decrease its dependency on russian gas now in about an hour. so the british prime minister boys johnson should be touching down ah,

he is due to meet also as president zelinski, a britain has been a great support of youth credit has provided a weapons over the past few weeks. you've seen many plains arriving and off loading these weapons in light armor, defensive weapons, and short re drew happens. so we supposed to hear from all of them later on in a press conference, but certainly a show of solidarity at by nature. members are to as ukraine, that now is something that has been happening newly on a daily basis here. how to, thanks very much indeed. how to of the hamid talking to us from kyo while our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins in washington, dc. as i mentioned before, kimberly the u. s. equity of state antony blanket russian forum as a love robert expected to be speaking the u. s. president. i understand. i said that they are prepared for anything. what does that mean? do you think? well, as the united states has been saying repeatedly for some time, now there are serious questions about just exactly where i

believe i'm not wearing my microphone. um oh no, there it is. okay. all right, i apologize. but there are some serious questions about where things move going forward. and so as a result, the united states wanted the president to go out ahead of this message. and so to that end, the u. s. president has said that and warned really that there would be severe and swift consequences if the russian leader were to walk away from diplomacy. and so what we've been seeing is sort of a chorus of the biden administration singing from the same song sheet. in other words, whether it be the white house press secretary, ned price, the spokesperson for the state department, whether we see it at the united nations. they're all saying the same thing, and that is informing the partners and allies that there are serious threats. with regard to russia,

despite the protest from russia that though it is not the case that they point to the indications of the amassing of troops along the border with ukraine, the social media uptick, the really the concerns that the united states has. and so what they're doing is laying out the consequences if russia fails to choose the path of diplomacy. what does that again, look like? it would be severe financial consequences. and what we heard from the white house press secretary on monday is very clear that essentially these are going to be punishing financial sanctions that would hit the aerospace, the artificial intelligence sectors. there already are conversations with the u. s . congress in the bite and white house in terms of trying to put this forward to put this package together as so the are the responsibility and what the president is really doing right now is communicate that. so this will be a deterrent to russia, so that, that it will think twice about any sort of military invasion of ukraine. so why

does corresponding kimberley hall talking to some washington d. c. i want to bring in theresa fallon, she's director at the center for russia, europe, asia studies. she's joining us by skype from brussels. good to have you with us on our 0. the seems to be some sort of gray area. certainly very few details about the kind of content that the contact has been between the us and russia. now we're seeing all this diplomatic movement globally. what do you make of what's going on? well, i think that it's really a stress test for nato and u. s. allies, we see that put in that sions are showing or small hairline fractures in the alliance. we saw last week, both germany and italy had online discussions with bruton, through their chambers of commerce, so that these countries have deep financial interests and russell and italian investors. i know this is a great opportunity for us, and even it was recently announced that victor or bon leader of hungry is going to

try to make an energy deal with put in. so there isn't necessarily a united front. these are small hairline fractures. we see also aggressive, if you pay acting very assertively towards ukraine, which almost shows that you as a bit sluggish on, on activities. and we see germany block any sort of arms exports to, to ukraine. and they were ridiculed for suggesting or wanting to donate only $5000.00 and helmets. so the mayor of crisco said, what are you going to send us next pillows. so i think that there's a bit of a lack of clarity with in europe, but also it's important for the u. s. and nato l is all to be on the same page. if this has been an effort by president putin to essentially stress test nato. what do you think is going to be a way out for all of all sides to stop this escalating into what could be and what everybody fears could be a shooting more well,

this is something that hootin has orchestrated. he was the one who put all of this into motion, and i think that it's kind of a chinese concept to win without fighting. i think he wants to see what he can get in terms of negotiating by rattling the sabres. we've seen him move troops and bellows, which is of course, extremely worrying because he is not very far. and that also creates more ideas, said he could possibly send in soldiers and change the government. so there's also, it's a new strategic thinking going on. and it's making a lot of people worried on the upside. countries closer to russia like the central eastern european member states or members of nato, are deeply concerned about their own security. so they've been requesting something that put in doesn't want. they're requesting more nato troops to, to help create some reassurance in their countries. so i think that this is also the downside of up,

which is doing it's given nato. it's mojo back. countries like sweden and finland who are not members, but have some sort of kind of working relationships with nato as partners or just finland is in a different category. but there has been sounds saying if moscow invades ukraine, we might reconsider our position in regard to nato. so instead of seeing natal be weekend, it's actually, he's creating the situation poor to actually maybe grow to more states. is the argument for suggesting that this benefits ought to come to countries other than russia other, other parts of the world who are actively encouraging this in a sense, or at least the thoughts on doing it publicly, but certainly doing it in sort of under the counter as it were, other alliance is being forged, our deepened elsewhere in the world that we should be looking at. well, it's quite interesting because beijing, in the past was very cautious about showing any interest in any sort of breakaway

regions. like, for example, dumbass, but unusual. you know, beijing has really put in it's showing support towards moscow. so we saw it back in december with the she put in call put in was very present, which was very eager to share the news that she jumping was supporting him and, and it was understood that put him and also support she jumping. so they felt that they were supporting each other in ukraine and possibly on taiwan. so the sent a very dangerous message. i call this to new see, and this kind of china, russia, combination is mega alliance. technically there, they don't say that they are in alliance. some analysts say they are defect to an alliance, but we're seeing president putin is going to beijing to have a special in person meeting that she didn't pick a day before the olympics. and this will be the 1st in person meeting since it began, and he has t's that they are going to reveal something very important at this meeting . so the fact that russia and china cooperating and coordinating their activities

is of deep concern for many strategic analyst at the same time, the u. s. has always put china the top of the list for their concerns. but with all these tensions with ukraine, u. s. attention has been on ukraine and russia, so this gives china some room for maneuvers in strategic space and very important strategic breathing space. so they can kind of penetrate the substrate to see more air space, do psychological operations in the region, and they're trying to send the message to other u. s. allies in the region like japan, australia. they're trying to discourage them, trying to send the message that u. s. is not a reliable ally. so russia and china combined both want to see a weakening of u. s. alliances. they want to try to undermine the transatlantic alliance. they also want to kind of push at these democratic institutions and under my democratic norms. first of all, as director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies,

we appreciate you being with us and all the 01. thank you very much indeed. things people living in ukraine's eastern region of den, yes, go, struggling to make ends meet 70 years out of the area received by russian back separatists camp. cut off trade and transport links, crippling its coal mining industry. when prices for goods of sword charles trafford, reports, there's little relief for residence with tensions at an all time high which is a rich hide coal. mine is pro rusher in his politics, but he says people have faced increased economic hardship since most go back separatists took control of the region 7 years ago. you know portfolio now monthly prices have increased forever. oils the fruits, maintenance utility bills at the local authorities increased our pensions by 20 percent. recently, some prices have risen by 70 percent. there are no jobs, young can only find work through nepotism. even the price of some fish is increased

because since ukraine found a trade with what it describes is the occupied territories in 2017, much of it has to be imported via russia. market traders have to pay higher transport costs and import duty to same story with most of these products made in russia and bell roost. myrtle movers it yesterday we, hala. many people have left russia, ukraine, and abroad looking for work. i used to have regular customers, but non, now, the trains from ukraine government controlled areas have run on these tracks. for years. the currency was changed from the ukraine in grip nor to the russian rouble . in 2015 is estimated. moscow spends more than a $1000000000.00 a year supporting the separatist control region of the netscape ganske, which was disconnected from the international banking system. when the separatists took control, people can only send and receive roubles to and from banks in russia. the coal

industry was for decades, the regions life blood, most of the mines are in separate his control territory. he says, what it describes as ukraine's stolen natural resource is finding its way to international markets via russia. something russia denies. hundreds of businesses that been destroyed, abandon, or have gone bankrupt since the complex started in 2015 the pro russia separatists . and then ukranian government signed what became known as the minsk 2 agreement. it was a deal that aimed at achieving peace and lasting political settlement to the conflict . the 7 years later, not a single one of the 13 articles in that agreement has been fully implemented. there are many ukrainian politicians that say that mintz too, is to waited in the favor of the separatists. and they were afraid that if it was

fully implemented, that could potentially give russia a greater hand in ukrainian affairs. last year, ukrainian president followed me as of in sky said he wanted to change the minsk agreement international back as insist, the deal must be honored by both sides. no political agreement means the economy can not recover. the separatist governments say the economy is gradually improving and russian investment is helping. in november, president putin signed the decree allowing russians to legally buy goods produced here for continue when the printed note at the end of the war. and the recognition of the dpr would of course contribute to the development of the economy. military action has affected the region, not to mention the business infrastructure of the outflow of expertise and economic blockade by ukraine that destroyed our financial system. but we're now managing to reestablish that system, but with a little sign of an end to the conflict,

financial security for victor, he's friends and millions of people like them remains in doubt. charles, wrap it out. his era don't ask. claymore had on the news r, including why pakistan's plan to invest more in renewable energy. so the winds taken out of its sales on the search for survivors in brazil and south pollo state floods and land slice of killed dozens of people in sport. the warriors win again, thanks to another master class from steph curry action from the n b a. coming up with joe. ah, honesty international is describing israel as an apartheid state because of its treatment of palestinians. human rights campaign group says policies of segregation, dispossession and exclusion in israel and the occupied territories. demonstrate the palestinians are treated as an inferior racial roof. israel is denouncing amnesty

as report as false biased and anti semitic. it's not the act of violence. i have seen violence before. it is the cruelty of the system, the intrigue kit evolving, administration of control, disposition, and unique quality. the incredible detailed bureau critique zation upon which that system is predicated. it, she banality. and that time absurdity that as taken my breath away. okay, let's bring an, i'll just had a senior political analyst. my one was shot. he's joining us by skype from paris, who was just making a couple of notes there. the words that agnes calamine has been using the banality over to the details, bureaucracy. the absurdity of it. what do you make of those choice of words?

well, no one can accuse got them are being short on words. if you remember, she was the investigator on the getting out of hustle g and it's tumble and, and we've not had to be quite precise and quite aggressive when it comes to human rights violations. so i think she probably chose her words carefully. bit strong words of condemnation again says read, i think but, but now is the part is quite interesting. choice of words. because, you know, as we all know, the idea that the soldiers are simply carrying their job and occupied territories. of course, that sort of minder of another era simply carrying one's job is not an excuse . and i think what amnesty international has done similar to what human rights watch has done last year. and more importantly,

i would say to what the bit send him organization. but here is a, the organization has done by categorizing his rants. what be so called jewish supremacy regime? him in palestine is certainly can babble and it's certainly a great humanitarian violation in human rights course for many years. this has been looked at in separate ways on the west bank and gaza. asked of what i think what's new and all 3 or 4 days re the human rights watch. and the report is that now they are looking at all the thirty's and relational rights altogether. meaning what they're looking at is not what's happening to the scene as only but also what is it doing to. since i want to ask you also about, is there a response? it says that the report is false biased and anti semitic. now,

what's your interpretation of the way that israel is choosing to use that word? it said it use the word very reluctantly when it was preparing its response, but nevertheless, it felt it was justified. the end of the allegation, anti semitism has been rejected by amnesty international, but i want to hear what your opinion about that is what, what is the most about israel. busy and our lives use of the 7th is and it's been how much of it undermines the fight against anti semitism. because using the idea of anti semitism for political as simply is a crime against the memory of all those jews who died by the very sort of oppression professionals including holocaust, shipped to call, international human rights organizations that have basically on similar report on similar parts of the world's and calling eva and israeli jewish

human rights organizations. like i said, him, all of them to be categorized as some of that is of course matic is i would say even more than that. i think it is immoral on the autopay is really government and it's our lives. once again, what's important is how much it will i just want the one hand and what did you sizes they use of summer? cuz and when it has issues with the lives of them actually modest, what, what i've noticed from the response, as well as from other sort of forums that echo government response is that they don't argue with the point in the reports. they don't argue with the findings. and the reports, they don't take those arguments and say, well, the reality is, what they do is simply accept organizations. label them, pick, reject your findings,

and that is helpful to anyone and certainly not counsel for how to move forward. it is right. yes, guys, as much as i mentioned, israel has said that the report is also false and biased. but this is the latest in a series of reports. as you mentioned about this situation to any of these reports, make any difference. do you think to the lives of palestinians on the ground? i think they do because i think for, at this point in time when so many of the trips in the region seem to be the ship and saw so forth. have been basically i wouldn't say stand at the back of the telling back on the palestinians. and so many ways, i think the only way at this point in time to really change the situation is fine. after recognizing the reality of the situation on the ground is through civil rights and international organizations. but i can understand watch,

because international public opinion is going to be key to put pressure on various governments to act. i just would like to remind all. busy of us that when a party have to go was jeff ignite as a crime, only a number of countries supported the beginning, increasing to a number more. but the lack of the united states did not condemn to south africa and build the middle of the reagan administration. in the mid 19 eighties, that's almost 40 years after their stablish apartheid and stuff. so it takes a long struggle working on international public opinion in order to pressure governments to start acting to undo. targeting, what bothers is right most about their categorized position on tape is unlike, for example, calling to give sutler, calling the state, which is all by the way it does not weigh very much because it sounds like it's

like canada, like even the united states. but when you get a party is very specific because it compares it to apart from south africa and south africa has been denies as against humanity. and one must point about only 8 years ago or 3 years ago, secretary state john kerry told these radio unless they move quickly, quickly, that was 8 years ago on the solution. it's going to be a party that was secretary and the united states. so i think there's more, more recognition around the world today. what exists in this spine is not simply discrimination here, an occupation there. and this was action here and, and thinking over houses and ethnic cleansing, what there is, there is a system of jewish supremacy over the years as been ported out by the

organ as ition bits. as i'll just hit as senior political analyst. my one shot a moment. thank you very much when it's exactly a year since mamma's military seized control in a cru security forces of a rest of dozens of people in an attempt suppress plans for the nation wide strike . despite threats from the authorities, protesters in mandalay, march, early in the morning carrying banners and jumping stones, calling for democracy. military leaders promised a swift return to civilian roles and they took over last february. but that hasn't happened. some people and me and mar, have been telling correspond and tony chang that life for most has become much harder under military rule, not going to hide their identities, to protect them, to drive around me, i'm a cit, his everyday life might look like it's normal. but look, a little closer. rhodes, a close with barriers, barricaded military positions and uniform soldiers on the streets. mom, i saw the army. this tried to protest,

and after that i was larry afraid. that's why i'm scared to go out again. but there were more protests beside my house, so i joy if they feel safe. i rejoice to protest. mamma has been ravaged by coven 19 in the past 12 months. the situation intensified after the military target had medical workers for their involvement and protests and a civil disobedience movement. many were arrested. others fled into hiding to day even basic health care services as guess as alan, and i think i won't forget that day dead hair walkers were arrested and she, they're very badly by the army. they even kate, a medicare student, that's why i won't touch the hosp beecher in the sit, his food remains plentiful. the prices have risen sharply elsewhere, supplies and production have run dangerously low. the world food program estimates

it needs to provide food for 4000000 people across myanmar in 2020 to 4 times the number before the qu, the economy has gone into free, full banks, limit withdrawals and foreign investment is pulling out fast. and when he bow ah loosed jobs, an it is embedding duty and the labor market. and also many people are jobless. but of the many job seekers ah, could be the job. but b, a bit less than normal. even basic services like trains and buses of failing the nation wide rail network has ground to hold. after work has joined the civil disobedience movement and bus prices of tripled as operators abandon standardized rules. don't indeed go here. in my opinion, if we get rid of army rule transport services would go back to normal with properly

working purposes. a normal ticket prices. historically that people have ma'am, are used to military rule. but after a decade of progress and development, the last 12 months is leaving many feeling as if they're returning to the past. tony cheng al jazeera time here, whether update his jeff. hey there, here's our headlines for the americas. after days of rain, there's been flooding and central and southern ecuador. thousands of people displaced from their home states of emergency, declared the water powerful enough to carve out this road. that's not too far away from the capital kito and still more rain in the forecast on wednesday. more than a dozen people have died in flooding in sao paulo and look at this. it's still coming out you through wednesday, and it shift it further to the north and the east into rio de janeiro as wall warm and cold air fighting it out across north america. there's a cooler rate, they're meeting up with the warm air. so that's going to sparked some storms and it swath of heavy snow. so let's break it down region by region. pretty much from

kentucky rate to louisiana. the risk of seen some storms here and around the great lakes. here's a swath of stow at this, going to be a multi day event. so toronto over today's could pick up to about 20 centimeters, was found. we go some snow speaks back into vancouver as while thinking about 5 centimeters for you and quiet for the west coast of the us. but low temperature is here. thanks in part to a north when and a cool pool of air over las vegas. 10 degrees will be the high for you on wednesday, was sunny skies. okay, now i'm out of time. that's it for me, sir. so still ahead on al jazeera from the cat walk to the louvre, how are gallows and paris a paid tribute to a french fashion icon. 2002 semi final south korea closes in on a place in the world cup in katara that's coming with join sports. ah.

2 boxes from the street to chicago on different with the same ambition. fighting their way to a better life than themselves. and their families. 6 ah, anything in the volatile world of chicago outside? he's no easy task. witness. ring site on al jazeera, as the world's best athletes to pass the winter. olympics aging is bracing itself with the arrival of an estimated 11000 people. can it's 0 tolerance, corporate strategy work. and despite diplomatic boycott, which one is winter game client will bring you the latest date is 2022 winter olympics on houses era. we understand the differences and the familiarities of culture across the world. so no matter what names here with using kind to pause that matter to you.

ah ah, ah, knew what you know, does it remind over top stories? this are the you are secretary of state and the russian foreign minister has said to discuss the ukraine crisis. it follows monday security council meeting by moscow and washington accused each other spreading misinformation. honestly, international is released to report, calling israel on a pop type state over its treatment of palestinians. it says, policies of segregation, dispossession, and exclusion. so palestinians are treated as an inferior racial roof. dozens of arrests have been made in me and moll and the 1st anniversary of the military coup demonstrators in mandalay marsh to demand democracy. despite the government threats

against organizing from tests. in a european 1st covered vaccinations for all adults and austria and now compulsory over a team. so not medically exempt. have until march the 15th to get their job or face fines around $4000.00 was to vaskins at sight of vaccination center in the austrian capital vienna step. how are people responding to these mandatory vaccinations? while it is of course, controversial and far reaching a policy, that's why the government has chosen the a soft landing. so to say, only later this week it will really come into effect after the upper house will approve it, and as you say, only after 15, the march still fights will be handed out. and meanwhile, people will get in stations to come for vaccinations, but also lawyers are predicting that there will be lots of court cases. a lawsuit

filed against this policy by people who say that they are fundamental rights are being violated, their rights to control their own bodies that their south, the southeast army nation rights. and the predictions that these court cases could cost up to $150000000.00 euro. so experts are saying, is this really effective this policy because it might even push people further away from the government? we, of course have seen all these protests happening here in austria and all over western europe actually. but still, the government says this is the only way out off the fund i make. oh, out of all these love down. so the individual rights will have to be sacrificed before for this collective rights to get out of the system that make i can understand. i could imagine that other countries, particularly in europe, going to be watching what happens in australia very closely. how do we think that this is going to influence those discussions around europe?

absolutely, this discussion about compulsory vaccination going around europe. and of course also is going to be the 1st one, but also in germany. the debate is ongoing. we have also seen increase that people above 60 are obliged to have to vaccinations in italy. medical workers are, have to be vaccinated by the it's really strong medical, ethical discussion going on in europe. and also there's a lot of concern about the political fallout, because really, some strong groups are very strongly against it. so everyone will be carefully watching. what will happen here in austria? stuff, thank you very much. that step voss and talking to us from the or seeing capital, vienna and, and the makers of the pfizer beyond tech vaccine are expected to ask us regulators for permission to offer jobs for children as young as 6 months old. the us food and drug administration 1st approved defies, abound tech vaccine for people. age 16 and older. and december 2026 months later

the f. d. a said it was safe to use on children as young as 12 and then an tober last year. it lowered the age requirement to 5 and above. well, let's bring in doctor bach, connie i, he's a senior little in the collector at the university of exeter medical school. he's joining us from buff in england. good to have you with us again, sir. on all the 0, how necessary is it to vaccinate children as young as 6 months old? became doctor barnett county. i don't know if you can hear me. i cannot hear you. ah, we appeared to have lost our link to doctor about us in that box. we're gonna move on, hopefully we will bring him back fairly soon. now the white house organizations warning the increasing amounts of medical waste is endangering public safety and the environment. billions of syringes are adding to the huge amounts of hazardous waste

from the covered 1900 pandemic. the w h o is recommending improvements, such as switching to reusable products because much of the waste is being disposed of incorrectly. ok, let's go back to that. so the story we're just talking about a moment ago, the fact that pfizer by on tech are expected to ask us regulators for permission to offer jobs for children as young as 6 months old. dr. bart, on connie, i hope you can hear me now. so he's a senior clinical lecture at the university of exit a medical school. good to have you with us again. so thank you very much indeed for your patience. how necessary is it to vaccinate children as young as 6 months old? well, now that we have got ample vaccine supplies, it is perfectly feasible to immunize across all the age groups. before we had ample vaccine supplies, it was imperative that we immunized the wonderful people,

the people of the clinical doctors and nurses, and health care workers and other essential workers. but now that there is enough global supply, it is perfectly okay to give vaccines to the younger age group, as well as immunized in other parts of the world. certainly, the western, the north northern hemisphere of the world will have enough supplies. but one of the concerns that rich countries, police countries in these particular regions are going to continue essentially hiring off some of those supplies to the detriment of proto countries or countries . and this more often in the southern hemisphere with children are less likely to have access to any sort of medical care that is a very big concern on our richer nations must really improve their game because they've already gone onto the vaccines. and in some places for vaccines, and they will not get better and they will not be any more protected unless they

also protect the rest of the world and suppressed infections in other parts of the world like africa. otherwise, variance of concern will keep one arising. we are still, of course, in a situation where there are people around the world who are refusing to get vaccinated far, what, whatever reason, one would imagine that it's going to be equally difficult to get people to who refused to vaccine themselves to voluntarily vac get their children vaccinated as well, how much of a problem is that and how do you persuade people to be able to get their children vaccinated if they're not going to take it themselves. they did a total order, but if i share with you my working example, because i've done this for 30 years, i used to talk to my patients. i used to explain to them the issues, address all their concerns, unfair show to them that on balance the vaccine is safer and protect them. and then my patients invariably made a voluntary decision to be immunized. so i think public health government health

needs to up their game and educate inform, and i'll a people's fears about the vaccine and take them with them. as always, we appreciate your being with us on i'll just say to dr. products i'm trying to thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. the bandana goes once again, dampening lunar new year's celebrations in china. the government's warning, the highly contagious armstrong variant as increased the risk of infection as hundreds of millions of people in trouble for the holiday. johnny, you reports from vision. 0 televised musical performances, bright red decorations, and big meals to put relatives. these are common lou to new year. traditions in china. but this year teaching is missing out on her annual family gathering in the northeast. yes. is it? the hotel restaurant manager has been forced to stay put in beijing, where she works because of corona virus restrictions shows azure fish. i assume if

week will ask couple days, it would be a tragedy. and so that's always kind of on your mind. and it is stressful. i mean, but being here daily cova test, i really think this is probably one of the safest places now. well, by ging will be the 1st winter lympics to use almost 100 percent artificial snow organizes deployed more than $100.00 snow generators and $300.00 snow cannons to cover the slopes. and the man made snow has been given the thumbs up by snow borders inspected the float, stalls i knew honestly like the snow super grippy at super color. so like when you set an edge in, you can hold on one edge because usually when you get to man made snow and you rip into an edge, for instance, it slide down on you pretty easily. but with the cold temps here, it's like, it's like dreaming, it's not or former golf? well, number one, greg norman has announced a multi 1000000 dollar revamp of the asian tool in a move designed to disrupt the global game. the australian, backed by saudi arabia,

has set up a new 10 til 10 tournament international series said to take place across asia and europe. the 1st 2 events are in thailand and then the u. k. $300000000.00 will be invested over the next decade in the project, as it looks to rival the pga and european tours. as talk that norman will eventually seek to former golfing super league. little earlier we spoke to australian golf journalist jimmy emmanuel in sidney, one being held in england in, in the london near the century club was sort of rumored for the last day or so was it, was it basically a well known secret, but that's where they're going to go at that feels like a direct shot. it that they pay will to a who's base is just down the road. wentworth, i'm sorry, sorry, look at, it feels like that's a bit of a technique from the asian tour. i suppose for lack of a better term, but it wouldn't surprise if they tried to expand into those areas,

but he's going to be very difficult. i mean, you can say with these 10 events that they primarily in asia and the middle east, where they already establish this to are and they play a lot of they golf. they are, the majority of the golf there should say. and moving into those market is very tough. america would be exceptionally hard to get somebody off the ground. the pga tour is a huge organization even in terms of other sports organizes not just golf. so it'd be very difficult to get foothold. and they, they were asked by about that and they said, look, this is just the beginning. we do want to expand, but it is going to be difficult to push ahead with those sorts of things. he was very clear that he doesn't believe he's hostile or looking for a fight. i believe was, was what he said, but that's not why it's taking. it has been taken page 2 players who are playing this week and in the asian, 2 or event are required to then go back and play as their scheduled pay jet tour

event for this wait pebble beach in the next couple years had previously there was talk of follow and there's been all sorts of things that they pay world. ready to has been very active in showing up its situation around the world, but they signed the strategical align and saw extended one here in australia in south africa with the sunshine tour as well. so auto think they say it as a friendly competition. i think they say it is a bit of a turf or without a designated term because they to as pile ram will base die. so it's, it's definitely a little bit spicy between the big play here. and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out cats. i was pushed to become a focal point for global sport will peak later this year. when a host the football. well, come right now, the olympic sports of fencing is taking send to sage. as a haunting reports, the salute before the duel, these international athlete turn pattern, trying to gain points in a series that could take them to the olympics. griffith or about point 1st them,

it's not about the metal, it's about point 15 where you are. and so the higher the level you have, the more pull it you get to form the god no longer this sport dates back to ancient egypt, but as vault with the invention of electricity and touch censored suits. without the lights telling you which player got the point, it would be nearly impossible to follow from the stands. the thing about fencing is if you blank, you can miss it. it's one of the most complicated sports under sin and is one of the least watched events at the olympics because scoring points comes down to a single point on a sort. oh. and it's all about timing. so it's a 20 for 2nd. i have to be faster than you are. and so it's all about speeding this just weapon. for margaret, the goods, even 70 fencing has always been a passion. she used to compete for italy, but now represents usa. after getting

a college scholarship and an american passport, everybody had a male. okay, not a point. i do, right. i saw that kobe her and that was a big sovereign. so, but on, we're getting there. no spectators were allowed at this event. in the governing body has even tried to stop athletes from screaming during the matches. as a way to help reduce the spread of coven maintain, even with no audience, their love of the game keeps them focused. sometimes in life you have to advance. you have to make an attack, you have to go and pursue some goal. sometimes you have to wait a little bit or you have to just retreat. and so really fencing translates into this is a life. and is this for the relief challenges you're going to think a. 7 better and to think faster and sometimes in life, winner lose. you have to get back out there in fight. again. you're hurting. i'll use your answer still. huh. and that is all you spoke ma'am or later, rob. joe,
