6:01 pm
king. and i'm sorry heinz, of the all your sports sounds arabia slip pop in the race to reach the world cup finals that be to see neil by japan. that's in the rest of the days qualifies, coming up. ah. so then we begin this news out with a flurry of diplomatic activity to resolve the rising tensions between russia and ukraine efforts to avert a russian invasion. i've been ram top with the officials from several sides of the crisis involved and high level negotiations, u. k. prime minister bras, johnson. he's made in the ukranian president vladimir lensky in kiev. i to discuss a security packed for you. k and poland. have offered aid to ukraine. ukraine says it's planning to recruit a 100000 military personnel in the next 3 years to bolster its defenses. tens of thousands of rush and soldiers remain, of course, along his border and at
6:02 pm
a separate mate in moscow. hungry is prime minister, he met vladimir putin pledging further cooperation with russia. but as a native member hungry has been criticized by c u allies for the trip. well, what asked when it can be, how can a study by for some washington d. c. and she'll have reaction out of the united states will speak to dall said those jibari in moscow. but 1st let's cross to harder abdul hm. at who studied by for us in care of and what a great deal of diplomatic back and forth going on in care of right now. yes, absolutely has been going on for a while now, as you said. and the british prime minister boys johnson should have touched down by now he is said to meet her president. ever leave means zelinski. and then later on re they will hold a press conference along the foolish prime minister. now also on her way here is the dutch, a prime minister,
6:03 pm
who will be also having similar kinds of meetings. now believe that boys dungeon has already said that the u. k. will pledge an additional a $118000000.00 to ukraine to help fight corruption. and to help also keep the economy afloat. a presidency. lensky being very worried about the impact of this crisis under country on the economy of the country. i. hence he has been calling for a few days to sort of tone down to rhetoric and try to avoid creating a wave of panic because the country is hurting and cannot read the afford it much longer. whether the is a war or not. and how to something a rallying call from the ukrainian president talking about say, recruiting a 100000 you soldiers. yes, absolutely. i think that it's going to be something that is going to be a very welcome among many ukrainians. i mean, you, you hear people tell you,
6:04 pm
our army is very small compared to the russian army. euclid will never be able to equal the size of the russian army must certainly propping it with a 100000 people of soldiers more over the next 3 years. is gonna be a welcome move, especially that at the moment the ukranian army is very popular among people. here . anyone you speak to will tell you how much they trust the army. now, are they compared to back in 2014, where the army was criticized for not really putting up a fight, especially during the annexation of crimea. well, this time people tell, you know, the army is better equipped with all this 8. what coming in from many countries, britain being one of the main and donors, when it comes to defensive aid, d u. s. is also providing a lot to 500 tons of ammunition has arrived over the past week or so. so certainly
6:05 pm
people put all of that together and have a much better image about the are we putting their faith in that army? i suspect that you will have a lot of young men and women who would actually try to apply and get a job there. yep. or on how to leave it there for the moment. thanks very much indeed from kiev. let's go to moscow dosage barrio study by 1st, the endorser talks and meetings going on. the 2 and not least putin meeting at the hungarian president. it's robin a yes. and of course, this is significant because this is the 1st face to face meeting vladimir putin will have with a prime minister of a e. u, and nato member country. since this crisis began, we're expecting them to hold a joint press conference shortly. but so far we understand the 2 men have been discussing security as part of a larger impact, which for to increase cooperation between the 2 countries. we've also been hearing from the russian foreign minister as well as his hungering counterpart,
6:06 pm
who also met for about an hour and a half. and they also issued a statement saying that they had 2 countries of pledge to increase cooperation in the health care sector, alongside security as well as space exploration to there is a sense that this visit is quite important. and of course, the officials from the kremlin have said that the russian president, vladimir putin, will be taking questions from journalists who will most certainly be asking him about the current escalating tensions that are ongoing. and his position so far, we understand president putin is also going to be a responding to the americans counter proposal, which he received last thursday. that's about the security guarantees. this country is looking for from washington and nato. about 10 days 30 member alliance expanding further eastward, which they say is very much concerned. we also know that vladimir putin has spoken to the italian prime minister just a short while ago on the phone where he stressed that ukraine is not fulfilling his
6:07 pm
obligation under the minsk agreement. and a president, putin also said that they ukrainian government is not carrying out what they promised. and that is to have a special status for the breakaway region of dumbass and eastern ukraine. the italian prime minister for his part urged the president to try and de escalate tensions. but for the time we being we're going to wait and see what he will have to say in front of the press in the next few minutes. or it's also thanks very much for that set from moscow to washington d. c. our white house correspondent, kimberly how could is standing by and kimberly ag straw words between the u. s. a rusher at the u. n. a last night's at now. the russian foreign minister say a lover of and blinking a jew to talk her, what are we expecting? well, what we're expecting is a continuation of what the united states has been trying to push forward. it says for many weeks and that is to convince russia that even as they argue that they are
6:08 pm
preparing for all event jollies and possibilities that the best way forward is diplomacy. we heard from the u. s. president on monday, he said there would be swift and severe consequences for russia if it walked away from diplomacy. and so what we're seeing today on tuesday is this argument that diplomacy is the best path forward. so in addition to the call from the secretary of state and his counterpart, we also know that this is something that the white house press secretary will continue to convey as well as she has her daily press briefing. and also we are expected to hear from the u. s. president himself very briefly, around 845, g m t. but the bottom line is, is that the united states, as it prepares for all, eventually these is continuing according to the white house, to consult with congress on a range of financial punishments. should rush to decide to invade ukraine. and what
6:09 pm
we're seeing really so far is very little movement in this stand off. we had russia and it's list of demands, the united states, that dates counter proposals, and after some confusion on monday, russia now saying that it is still working on its response to the u. s. response. so it's clear that there's still a pathway forward, and this is the what the white house wants to underscore is that they see this as the best path or kimberlia plenty more from you in the coming house. no, don't, thanks very much. indeed for the time b, that's enough in terms of following who's director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies. and she says, the situation has bolstered nature's relevance in the region. this is something that putin has orchestrated. he was the one who put all of this into motion and i think that is 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. he,
6:10 pm
we've seen him move troops and bell roost, which is of course, extremely worrying because he is not very far. and that also creates more ideas that he can possibly send in soldiers and change the government. so there's all sorts of new strategic thinking going on. and it's making a lot of people worried on the upside. countries closer to russia and 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 who doesn't want 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, you know, 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,
6:11 pm
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 safe . let's just say the same in moscow right now. the russian president vladimir putin and the hungarian promised over to robin spencer to hold a news conference shortly at 5 is after their meeting, the last few hours discussing tensions between russia and ukraine. with all right, the world health organizer organization says it's still too early to declare victory against coven. 19 it's urging countries to make their own decisions, to ease restrictions, not just follow others. and that's as a phase of bye and tech is expected to ask you as regulators for permission to offer its vaccine to children as young as 6 months old, austria has implemented it's mandates re vaccine law for all adults. it means everyone who's not medically exempt needs to be vaccinated or face fines of up to
6:12 pm
$4000.00. and denmark has become the 1st ear country to lift nearly all its pandemic restrictions. that is despite record numbers of cases. well, stat rassen is outside a vaccination center in the austrian capital of vienna and it says step, tell us more about the reaction that was well, it's a very controversial policy and also quite far reaching. so the government has decided that it's soft landing, so it will only take effect this mandatory effect nation by the end of the week at the opera house to approve it. and then the people will have time to get the vaccinations until half of march, because that from steph signs will be handed out up to $600.00. but even up to few 1000 to euro's, if they're not vaccinated. lawyer already saying there will be lots of lawsuits and court cases against this controversial policy because people are saying some here in the, in the austria around 20 percent still refuses to be vaccinated. they say are
6:13 pm
individual rights and are rights to control own body civil rights to self determination being finally did. so some experts say, maybe the policy is going to be counter productive. people are fusing to be vaccinated are very determined, and you might even push them further away. but the government says it's the only way out of the pandemic. and individual rights have to be sacrificed for the greater good. you do want to tell you how these events in austria will influence discussions about compulsory vaccinations across europe. exactly, it's a test case, of course here in os read are the 1st country to post vaccinations on people. there's a debate going around europe about the same topic. germany is debating it in greece and it's lead to as partial compulsory vaccinations. but on the other hand, you see countries like denmark, basically lifting all restrictions at the moment. there's
6:14 pm
a real difference in vaccination rates within europe. denmark has a very high vaccination rate than that one has a high vaccination rate. but interestingly, german speaking countries, oxford, germany and switzerland have quite low vaccination rates because there is a group here probably much relying on a natural madison instead of like the medical science. so there's a real difference in approaches here, and it's going to be very interesting. so denmark is a test case lifting restrictions even digital passes are going to be abolished soon . but on the other hand, you can see, of course, that infections are still very high. all over europe hospitalizations are not as high, but there's a lot of fear that everything will come back and the will be a next wave in autumn. so we all have to see how these test cases here in europe are going to play out. i step thanks for that, just a rush and i'm so much indeed. let's take this all. we can speak to jeffrey lazarus, who's the head of the health systems research group at the bottom,
6:15 pm
and institute for global health. he lived in them off in 20 years and now joins is live from madrid in spain. that mr. lazarus, so cases high in denmark, but they're going for it. what do you make of it? all all cases have almost never been higher. 45000 cases yesterday alone up from 700 a day, a couple of months ago. i think it's a bad move to lift all restrictions. i understand the population is tired and many are thrilled that all restrictions are being removed, but it gives a false sense of security. i think that could have been a more gradual reduction in, in lifting it said w job a badge the chief might run. he's, he's fearful to that political pressure, and perhaps that could be the case here in denmark will lead to more countries. i'm heading for premature openings as up. what you sense might happen. i think it is. i think denmark, in that sense to setting a bad president, it's basically politics over public health. i would say you would say that it is
6:16 pm
driven by politics or whatever. because if you think that basically the public would be to satisfied that the government is actually in this way, and they don't have to suffer any most restrictions. yeah, and it surprises me a bit because it's not suffering a lot to need to show your digital pass your current certificate to get into bars and restaurants and maybe the cinema. they could have kept face masks on, at least in public transportation. and i don't think many people would be complaining about that. i do think it's a lot about the politics and being with being able to say, you know, we were the 1st to do this. we were, and we were the government in power, but i think it's sending the wrong message to the population. so cases are higher than ever, and hospitalizations actually going up. and the numbers in the intensive care units is, is not going up. so that's a good sign, but i mean, you're hospitalizations are going up, which is quite worrisome when you say send the wrong message to the population. is that because you mean those who are as yet unvaccinated,
6:17 pm
to encourage them to get vaccinated? because the government shy his own high vaccination rate does not, and says that, you know, my phone is no less of it, which is, which is the case. well it's, it's easy to say it's not severe in a country that so highly vaccinated. so many people have the booster and until now they've been very obediently wearing their face masks checking the current certificate. so it's not the best case to look at, you know, when you look at the unvaccinated. and so that's the population that, that's ending up largely in, in hospitals. i think it's one about trying to get people to get vaccinated, but it's also, they're not everyone is, is boosted and even people who are vaccinated can get infected. and some of them can go on task serious consequences. i do believe that there is a gradual reduction of restrictions would make good sense in denmark, but to lift it all in one go doesn't really make good public health. so what would your time scale be? what would a gradual lift restrictions look like a when would restrictions be completely lifted? it allowed deal? weldon uvie?
6:18 pm
well they would be lifted when hospitalisation are going down. not when they're going off and the same for, for cases. i mean, if we are going to focus on not on cases, but on hospitalizations, numbers in the intensive care unit and death than i would want those 3 indicators to be going down quite a bit before i started lifting on any restrictions. i hope that that's going to happen in soon 345 weeks. that while they're still growing up, i don't think it makes sense to them to lift their restrictions. jeffrey lazarus will be with us. jeffrey lens were from the boston institute for global health. thanks. lot. thank you. oh, so we're going to bring you some breaking news now. there are reports of done find a government headquarters in getting purcell cabinet meeting was being held in the capital, the so near the presidential palace. it's not clear who was firing the gunshots. were on to this will bring you more as soon as we get it. in the meantime,
6:19 pm
plenty more ahead. all the news are including india is new budget has unveiled a high growth and spending the year ahead, but many wonder how it will tackle growing economic inequality on the surveillance and el salvador, how government spyware hacked into journalists, phones. we don't support coming up to the warriors win again. thanks to another mouth, the classroom, steph curry, action from me, n b, i coming up with sar. ah, now the name is internationalists, describing israel as an apartheid state because of its treatment to palestinians. the human rights campaign group says policies of segregation, dispossession, and exclusion is an in israel and the occupied territories. demonstrate the palestinians are treated as an inferior racial. israel is denouncing amnesty is reported false biased and anti semitic. it's not the act of violence. i have seen
6:20 pm
violence before. it is the cruelty of the system, the intrigue kit evolving, administration of control, disposition, and unique quality. the incredible detailed to do or critique zation upon which that c stand is predicated. it's she banality. and that time up certainty t. that as taken my breath away out 0 senior political analyst, mom bashar says, israel's dismissal of the report is problematic. what i'm just international has done similar to what human rights watch has done last year. and more importantly, i would say to what the bit send an organization, but here deprived is radio organization has gone by categorized, they read what they say hold jewish supremacy regime in
6:21 pm
palestine is certainly double. and the certainly a great humanitarian violation of posted in human rights course for many years. this has been looked at in separate ways on the west bank and gaza. i think what's new in all 3 or 4 days rate, the human rights watch. and the record is that now they are looking at all the thirties and the violation of rights altogether. meaning what they're looking at is not what's happening to the scenes only, but also what is the way he said, they don't argue with dr. born in the reports, they don't argue with the findings in the records. they don't take those arguments and say, well, the reality is, what they do is simply that organizations, legal events, reject your findings, and that is not helpful to anyone,
6:22 pm
and certainly not helpful for how to move forward with it is the army and goals as separate as rebels have killed 4 soldiers and taken 7 others hostage fighting broke out last week and customized on the border between santiago and the gambia. the movement of democratic forces forecast months has led a long campaign to break away and break away from cynical, the rebel group has been mostly dormant since the seas fall in 2014. but it continues to finance itself through timber trafficking between cynical and the gambia and has been playing by samuel's government for occasional attacks. and then the st. cynically, soldiers were monitor in timber trafficking is part of a multinational force in the gambia. i let speak not a manual, a chrissy ending his director research because you none. international peacekeeping training center joins us live now from the west africa region. we can't disclose his exact location because of security reasons at thank you for your time,
6:23 pm
sir festival. what do you make of what's happening when i, when i think is most unfortunate, chick, clearly in the case of synagogue. but in terms of the exploitation of how wooed by a criminal gangs when the r o s not benefits, but also to swell all kinds of criminal energy waves. this is not a surprise. the exploit titian of rosewood, particularly in the last decade ticket in have cuts out across the hall of the west africa. so bridget, and a research that has been undertaken by several angels points to the deforestation, and best by teaching of this particular resource by multiple guns. the case of cindy gap is most unfortunate because quite a number of their logs i take him is to make out ferry through gambia and export that through bay. and i think the med are above these. so just in the capture of
6:24 pm
the ideas escalades trace the capital these resources are also played, says another and go through these to assess him, isn't movement and taken into consideration the west main extreme as valence in west africa. then this place is to the gout in a very tricky situation. i like seeks to and best buy because they're on vacation in summer or the such. dissenting. tell me more about the sense in the country, the feeling of people nervous. how sensitive is this? well, this isn't for extremely sensitive because being dr for to succeed from semi gough has been going on for the past. what says nights they did to thereabouts. and we had also talked loud ourselves into some a. ringback situation of a piece last, you know,
6:25 pm
the assess miss movement had died down some walks. so this escalation creates this year on sets empty. and that is why are raising their point as to where that it fits into a why di act or why the act of disturb blazys. she caused this migalia government because that they read the sticks in west africa dramatically and for their reports from be. so i did, lou says use quite a number of governments out and down and left some form of fed eloquent sets back. right? yes, i was going to bring that up because it as we were breaking the letter and breaking news that there are reports of gunfire at near the government headquarters in guinea pesa cabinet meeting was being held in the capitol near the presidential palace. it would i really know any more than that at the moment, but this is the kind of example what you talk about isn't this this sir unstable, unstable situation in the country. and in the region. what i think the instability,
6:26 pm
the role of natural resources, expertise. she in criminal gas levels of pollution between people in, in public office and these criminal kinds of basically and on my end is to, to she is and me and mid life barrier. one predictable for quite a number of countries in the south region. and so if particular house fees, serious problems are with medical gans april trades in government infrastructure and threat them, you know, public lights. so these act, so bow lane that we are here. it is so to warren and tie be to what is happening in the us amounts and become so much wider programs that we need to look at very a manual. and christy and i, we appreciate last pertains thanks very much. and if that analysis, thank you. it's a good pleasure, but still had her now. desert why pakistan's plans were invest more in renewable energy has had the wind taken out of the sail from the cat walk to the lou. how or

6:32 pm
much of it has to be imported via russia. market traders have to pay higher transport costs and import duty. it's the same story with most of these products made in russia and bell ruse. little more to just to give you a holler. many people have love to russia, ukraine, and abroad looking for work. i used to have regular customers, but not now. the trains from ukraine government controlled areas have run on these tracks. for years. the currency was changed from the ukraine in griffon to the russian rouble. in 2015. it's estimated. moscow spends more than a $1000000.00 a year supporting the separatist control region of demette sc ganske, which was disconnected from the international banking system. when the separatists took control, people could only send and receive roubles to and from banks in russia. the coal

6:34 pm
ukrainian president followed me as of in sky said he wanted to change them in sca agreement international back as insist, the deal must be honored by both sides. no political agreement. the economy cannot recover. the separatist government say the economy is gradually improving and russian investment is helping. in november, president putin signed a decree allowing russians to legally by goods produced here for continually 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. the military action has effected the region not to mention the business infrastructure of the outflow of vicksburg t's an economic blockade by ukraine that destroyed our financial system. but we're now managing to reestablish that system with little sign of an end to the conflict. financial security for victor, his friends, and millions of people like them,
