a system of oppression and domination of palestinians for decades. i. 2 and defying threats from the military protest as a mere mom mark one year since the coo ah . there we begin with breaking news from the west african nation of guinea bas out . there has been heavy gun fun at government headquarters in the capital. a cabinet macy was being held at the time. it's not clear who was firing the gunshots. our cars weren't nicholas hackers following developments from dr. incentive gold joins us on skype and net. what more we now at this point. well, the gunfire, rutted in the early hours of the afternoon just as there was a cabinet meeting between the president, the prime minister and, and his key ministers. and there was gunfire around the presidential palace. people

started running away from it. and now it's unclear if it was the president presidential guard, are trying to protect the presidential palace from attackers, or if it was an attack that, that, that was sustained with clears like we don't know where the president and the prime minister is at the moment. we've seen the video footage of people use e r p, jeez, rocket propelled grenades, attacking at the location where the where that where this meeting was being held. but of course going to be. so is those a few things about who there's been 9 since independent in 1974, and there was growing grievances among the military ever since. and balance of power in 2022. we were there during those election shortly after he won. the opposition says that there was foul play. this led to the constitutional court having to meddle in it, but and belo was confirmed as the president, but there's been grown grievances among the military. nick, nick,

i believe that thank you very much indeed. nicholas hacker, joining us from santa gold situation and getting bizarre. let's set things on. we can meet a manual chrissy iming who's a direct to research at the coffee and on international peacekeeping training center, joins us live from the west. african region will not disclose the exact location for security reasons, a mental i'm in the situation in guinea beside it. kind of fits into a growing unfair just to the instability in the region. i mean, i think we kennesaw gets out das, by the way, element so, or who, you know, that be aware makes an attempt to turn the corner in or particularly the united machines. sam, a secretary general st. petersburg and found i had been making some innovations in terms of stabilizing institutions, strengthening our processes and mechanisms for accountability at no buy site and,

and a group of 5, united initiates you african union, the co us and to put to good speaking countries in a way all of mckinney diverse is to sure our a guinea be stopped, but as you be weldon all going to be so has been a fragile stage for, for decades, like reading de immediate aftermath of its independence in the seventy's or because of narcotics chapter came and manner in which it is for treatise digits through she's and the main them means military def, please tell a guess what it car patti's, it also there fragility and it's been in that ability for the states itself to read . you can edit institutions even with international support. it's what we are seeing happening, but best goes beyond just gimme the south and as your question intimidate, if this fits seem to wear white at some bridge,

now establish leasing process going on. and also in terms of par, eddie acquisition about cindy gal and a possible exploitation of for these acts of, of his ability by extreme his groups. then i think these 2 developments really creates a basis for re evaluation of this data. so security preparedness o'clock to send intelligence to, to go active and ways on says nature of governance and, and how to ensure that we can control the small avst rolls and bring some sanity which a bit of our sight. fundamentally what you think is behind this, these type of the stabilization in the region where a lot of resentment was a government. and if they didn't getting this out, as nick i was talking about earlier. if this is a kid, we don't know this, but if it is, it would be the 4th one of the region at the dates when it's a or what is behind all this resentment. when i think somebody has shifted

dramatically, why is that in the last 10 years or so since democracy was re established probably 15. yes. you know, the, the, the benefits of democracy haven't trickled down, you know, correction is still endemic and put it on employment is problematic. quality of education, debiose and you know, there's this huge, you boy do which countries populations in the last decade or tool have doubled or at least decreased dramatically. so we have a huge you for population on indicated unemployed, unemployable. but with access to dig through more than falls international news and how i don't use it, other parts of the world are living. that is contributing to building up to frustration, particularly where'd be, how

a political leadership that that's most language and be in a way that reflects the aspirations and the holes. and it is those frustrations that i would argue, that being exploited by those who and, and increasingly, and demanding that it will add processes that gave us so much work about rich years ago arts. i will leave there for the moment. the thanks for that analysis, i'm an old quasi and, and thanks very much indeed. well, as we were just hearing, the army in senegal says separatist rebels have killed 4 soldiers and taken 7 others hostage. a fighting broke out last week and cuss amounts on the border between senegal and the gambia. the movements of democratic forces forecasts months has led a long campaign to break away from senegal. while the rebel group has been mostly dormant since the seas far in 2014, but it continues to finance itself through timber trafficking between senegal and the gambia and has been blamed by senate goals government for occasional attacks.

the senegalese soldiers were monitoring timber trafficking, as part of a multinational force in macon. all right, let's now turn to the crisis on ukraine's border. there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity to try and resolve the rising tensions between moscow and give you a sector of states has held a phone call, where that russia's foreign minister said lever of boarding him. any incursion into ukraine would be met with severe consequences. the u. k. prime minister brought johnson. he's been meeting the ukrainian president lament lensky in kiev to discuss a security pack at both the u. k and poland have offered aid to ukraine, and ukraine says it's planning to recruit a 100000 military personnel in the next 3 years to bolster his defenses. at me, while in moscow hungry is prime minister, has held talks a with vladimir putin pledging further co operation. but he, you lead as a criticizing nato member hungry for this meeting. or it lets me to huddle abdul

hamid. whereas more from kiana, their 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 president zelinski being very worried about the impact of this crisis on the 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 afforded much longer. whether the is a war or not. you hear people tell you, our army is very small compared to the russian army. you kid will never be able to equal the size of the russian army. that's true to me. propping it with a 100000 people of soldiers more over the next 3 years. is going to 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 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 dead, you know, the army is better equipped with all this 8 coming in from many countries. i suspect that you will have a lot of young men and women who would actually try to apply and get a job there. and they pulled running the study by for a certain number, 10 downing street in london. but 1st let's go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could, who's in washington d. c. a. kimberly this phone call between that russians foreign minister, an antique lincoln. what more do we know bala? well, what we know is that if you're looking for anything, sort of new out of this call in terms of the message that is being communicated by the united states, it doesn't appear that there's been any sort of dramatic departure in what we have

been hearing in the last 24 hours once again, it appears that the headline that the united states wants sent and sort of blasted around the world, is that the only way that it believes this should be resolved is through diplomacy . so once again, the secretary of state antony, blinking messaging to his counterpart in this phone call that there will be swift as severe consequences if russia is to walk away from diplomacy. now to that end, there were a number of other things that were reiterated that we have heard from the, by the administration. in the past reiterate the commitment of the united states in the west, towards the ukraine's sovereignty. and it's right to essentially choose its own foreign policy as well as it's alliances. and also that it is urging a d escalation and a withdrawal of russian troops long the border married and ukraine. so really, this is the same message that we've been hearing from the,

by the administration for some time. so we'll have to sort of get a bit more clarity and whether or not there's anything more to some of the confusion that occurred on monday with regard to these proposals that have been sent to run by russia to the united states, the united states, sending a counter proposal, some confusion at the state department on monday about whether russia had responded russia saying it's still working on that. so it appears that the reason for this call may have been on the heels to try and clear up some of that, but to terms of the readout that has come out, the message from the by the administration has stayed the same. can really, thanks a lot. can we? how could there in washington, dc i, let's switch over to london to dawning street. pull from the study by 1st the pull burst johnson under pressure home to say the least, but he's been meeting the ukrainian person. yes, i mean there's a phrase here in the u. k. you wait a long time for one button and 3 come along at one. so certainly that's the case in key after day. we've got not just the british prime minister, and also the polish,

and the dutch leaders are making whistle stop so as to key f at the ukranian capital. so you can see that after a period where i think her residency lensky of ukraine had been complaining that europe wasn't doing enough. there's certainly a lot of diplomatic and political attention that he's getting in this immediate short term. as far as far as johnson goes, he was here at danny street this morning for a cabinet briefing, which was addressed by the chief of the defense staff with some pretty stark assessments as to exactly the threat that russia poses on that western plank. so while eastern plank of europe and russia's western flag, and he says that russia has land combat power gathered on the western border on a scale not seen before. together with a pattern of coercion and intimidation. i'm prime minister briefed ministers, his cabinet colleagues are on a, a package of sanctions at which could be applied in the events of a russian invasion. now one thing to say is that he was boston's, was supposed to be accompanied by his foreign secretary,

liz trust. but unfortunately she tested positive for corona virus for cove. busy at 19, i left yesterday late afternoon, so she is not on the trip with him. it be interesting to see just how close president boris johnson and president lensky actually stand to each other in a news conference which is due to take place somewhere around $1700.00 g m t this afternoon. or i pull her back with his miller more thanks. her much indeed, a poor brennan there in downing street in london still add her on al jazeera, the united states, seeking to fast track the 1st claim it 19 vaccine. children under 5 years old and little sign of celebration. china please. dumb is looting a new year festivities because of a rise in covered 90. ah . ah, look forward to perimeter skies the winter sponsored my cattle. it weighs hey there,

you're locked in to your weather update for asia. good to see you will begin in the subcontinent. were a poor air quality toward the northeast of pakistan. the northwest of india, new delhi has a high of 22 degrees. ne monsoon. not active right now. so that means dry spells pretty much for that at southeast corner rate through sri lanka and the mall dees. i think the only spot really we'll see some activity is for the far northeast of india around the border with bangladesh. but nothing major here. next, stop se, asia and for indonesia is islands in the zone here we've seen about 60 to 75 millimeters of rain. i think we will see some similar balance for the southern philippines on wednesday as this batch of what weather creeps closer. let's press play. see where it goes when say into thursday, it's going to inundate this area at the devout region on thursday. after indo china, quite a difference in temperature is for vietnam, hanoi, 16 degrees below average n o 2 men, city, 34 that is above average,

southern china getting pound. it was some rain here. this includes hong kong with the high of 16 degrees. and for us to ca you, the world says snowiest inhabited place, a new record, $432.00 centimeters on the ground. and february, we've got more snow for you on wednesday, for the weather sponsored by katara always. this story of zimbabwe in her words, is always told from the perspective of the great men, whether it's david livingston, all robot will gladly. my responsibility is to tell, is involving story in a way that it hasn't really been told me for ordinary every day life was involved with the people. i'm writing about patina, kappa, out of darkness. my zimbabwe on al jazeera. ah

ah again, you're watching out a 0 reminder on top stories this hour and loud gunfire has been heard me government headquarters in the presidential pilots and getting bizarre. not clear who open fire as a cabinet meeting was being held in. the couple of britons prime minister heeds in ukraine to discuss the security package elsewhere. diplomats are involved to go see asians to try and ease the threat of a potential invasion by tens of thousands of russian soldiers massed on the ukrainian border. amnesty international is describing israel as an apartheid state because it's treat to palestinians. human rights campaign groups as policies of segregation, disposition, and exclusion in israel and the occupied territories. demonstrate the palestinians

are treated as an infuriate racial group. israel is denouncing amnesty report as false bias and anti semitic. it's not the act of violence. i have seen violence before. it is the cruelty on the system, the in tree kit evolving administration of control, disposition and inequality. the incredible detail, the blue or critique zation upon which that sustain is predicated. it's she banality. and that time absurdity that as taken my breath away, while the israel's foreign minister criticized amnesty international and rejected the report before its release. in the past, amnesty was a respect to the organization. not any more. today it is precisely the opposite. it

is in the human rights organization, but just another radical organization which echoes propaganda results serious inter checking the facts. instead of seeking the truth and as the echoes, the same lies chilled by terrorist organizations. 5 minutes of serious examination would be enough to know that the so called facts in the report published by amnesty this week are delusional and disconnected from reality. near the abraham has more from a village in the jordan valley. when we talk about discrimination, this is one of the places where it can be vividly seen coming to this village of the house of 2000 palestinians. people here do not have an official entrance and they might get tickets if they used left from the main road, but a few meters away. the israeli government has built a road for the benefit of 300 circulars that live in an eagle is really sacrament.

nearby, the sacrament, injuries, services, infrastructure, water and power. any residents say that they have just a fraction of that. if any of us in the little pilot we've been asking for an official entrance to the village for more than 20 years, there's really police often come to get people. tickets what village doesn't have an entrance. we've been here before the settlement this is part of the reality that palestinians are living under. and this is why many palestinian human rights organizations have been saying that palestinians are living under and is really advertised regime over all these organizations have been facing a lot of pressures by israel to shut them down. and so activists say that the main aim is to silence them. when we ask for the new what they think about the growing

use of the word, the upper tide by international organization, they say that there are hopeful and that they want the international community to help pressure israel to put an end to its oppression. israel's military says it will punish 3 senior officers in connection with the death of the elderly. palestinian american men. soldiers drive 78 year old aside from a car that bound and blindfolded him during a routine check. last month he was found face down in an abandoned building. the doctor says, died of a stress you it is exactly a year since mammals, military sees control in the cube. security forces of arrested dozens of people in an attempt to suppress plans for a nationwide strike. and despite threats from the authorities, protested in mandalay, marched early in the morning carrying banners and chanting slogans. calling for democracy. military leaders promised to swift return to civilian rule when they took over last february. that has not happened. and some people to ma'am, i have been telling our correspondent tony ching,

that life of most has become much harder on diminishing rule, were hiding their identities, to protect them. to drive around me, i must sit his everyday life might look like it's normal. but look a little closer roads, a close with barriers, barricaded, military positions, and uniform soldiers on the streets. luckily, i saw the army this try to protest. after that, i was very afraid. that's why i'm scared to go out again. but there were more protest beside my house. so i joy if a few safe i i with joy 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 dare very badly by the army. they even kate, a medicare student, thus why i will return to the hospital 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. many people ah, lose the jobs and it is embedding duty of the liberal market. and also a many people are jobless. but of the many job seekers ah,

can do the job, but be 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 need to 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, the people of memory use the 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, not the makers of the pfizer by and take a backseat, are expected to ask us regulators for permission to offer jobs for children and young. 6 months old. the us food and drug administration 1st approve, defined by and take vaccine for people age 16 and older. in december 2020,

all 6 months later the f. d. a said the vaccine was safe to use on children as young as 12. and then in october, last year, it lowered the requirement to 5 and above official se uptake of shots has been slower than they hoped for. the bride by connie is a senior at clinical lecture at the university of extra medical school. and he explains why there's a drive to vaccinate younger people. 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, 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 for the younger age group, as well as immunize in other parts of the world. richer nations must really improve

their games because they've already gone on to their 3rd vaccines. and in some places, 4th 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 suppress infections in other parts of the world like africa. otherwise, variance of concern will keep one arising. i used to talk to my patients, i used to explain to them are the issues, address all their concerns and fears. sure to them that on balance the vaccine is safe for any protects 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 lay people's fears about vaccines and take them with them. or the world health organization is warning, but increasing amounts of medical waste is endangering public safety and the

environment. millions of syringes and adding to puke amounts of hazardous waste from the coven. 19 pandemic. w. h. o is recommending improvements such as switching to reusable products because much the waste is being disposed of incorrectly. the members of parliament in japan, a past resolution on what they call the serious human rights situation in china, they're urging action to relieve their concerns while the resolution avoids direct accusations. it highlights the plight of muslim the muslim minority weakest, as well as concerns about hong kong into bed pan has joined a diplomatic boycott of the beijing winter olympics, which thought this week, but stopped short of banning athletes from competing on the pandemic as once again dumping lunar new year celebrations in china. the government is worn in the highly contagious amok on variances increase the risk of infection as hundreds of millions of people travel for the holiday. katrina, you reports now from badging,
