dosage barrier, correspondent standing by a vladimir putin. dahl says, saying that the u. s. in his allies of ignored his country's main security demands . what were those demands? what are those demands? and what else did he have to say? well, according to the russian presidency, americans have ignored 3 of the key demands that they were asking for when it comes to security guarantees. these countries are asking for nate from nato and washington. one of those is that nato does not expand any further by adding new countries to the alliance. it's currently at 30 members that they want. they members are to be reduced actually to go back to the 1997 numbers when there was 14 countries less than what the 30 member alliance is at the moment. that was one of the main ones. the 2nd one is, of course that's they don't put troops anywhere near this country and specifically ukraine. they don't want to see nato forces in a non nato country,

and they also don't want ukraine. it to be added to that list as well as the russian president also said that there is some concern because they are their main issue that they're looking for. a's a basically ignored by the americans and they haven't been able to get any kind of an official response from them. as the president also said that they ukrainian officials are also carrying out systematic human rights violations. and he also was very, very critical of the fact that they minsk agreements is not being at followed by up by the ukrainian side or not upholding their end of that agreement. of course, that is an agreement that was signed after the $22014.00 conflicts that to annexed crimea. and also in the dumbass region, there was a ceasefire that was agreed upon and the russian president is now saying that the ukrainian government is not upholding their end of the deal. so there's a lot of the issues, apparently their president is not happy about. and we're still waiting for an

official written response from the russians, and the president said that they are studying all the inter agency reports that come from the u. s. written proposal about the security guarantees that the russians have asked for. and they will have an official written response. the foreign minister, sir, your lover, has also been speaking to the it's his american counterpart, anthony blinking on the phone just a short while ago. and it appears the rhetoric is still very much the same on both sides of the american saying that they are not going to be discussing who can and cannot join nato and snots. and they have an open door policy. it's not for russia to dictate who can and cannot join. the russians are saying, it's actually our security that's under threats, and we cannot have nato expanding all the way to our borders. and that's something that is very much red line in terms of the rhetoric about war at the russian position is that the military builds up alongside the border with ukraine is not. and you occurrence. there is a lot of military outposts on the west side of russia where those troops are

actually station. so it's not like they were moved there. all of a sudden they had been carrying out military drills since november, and that is why there's been a slightly larger number of troops alongside the border with ukraine and russia. certainly, according to officials, has absolutely no intentions of invading ukraine. and that is very much believe to be of rhetoric, a coming from the u. s. trying to pressure russia into giving up some of its demands. or adults thanks very much that the pitcher in moscow daughter jabari the . meanwhile, the u. s. secretary of state, his old, a phone call with russia's foreign minister, the surgery lover of warning him any incursion into ukraine will be met with severe consequences. and a white house cross one can be al could is in washington dc. sir. kimberly, what more did the 2 have to say to each other? well, i think it's important to know not just what they said, but when they're saying it and perhaps why and on the heels of what dorothy has

just been talking about, the united states is still a waiting response to its counter proposals to russia's initial security proposal. and terms of what it sees as a need for resolution to all of this. and there had been some confusion on monday as to whether or not the state department had received something from russia. turns out russia says no little for just notes on another matter were still drafting our response to the u. s. counter proposal. so it appears that on the heels of that confusion, according to ned price, the state department spokes person there has been this call between the secretary state antony blinking and his russian counterpart survey lab, rob and in terms of the message itself, the really wasn't much of a departure from what we heard from the us presidents about 24 hours ago, once again hammering down the point that the united states believe that despite the

escalation intentions, that there still is a path forward. and that poor half forward is through diplomacy. if russia chooses a different path, in other words, invading ukraine, the united states through its partners and allies, will inflict severe and swift consequences. and so this was the message that was put forward by the secretary of state. he also underscored the points that the united states has been repeatedly making, in other words, that they believed that there should be a de escalation that there should be a withdrawal of truth by russia. from the position is currently holding it with its troops near the border with ukraine. and also that there is this belief that there is this integrity and sovereignty of the ukraine. and this will be respective and should be respected. any sort of counter position to that will be defended with by the united states, with its partners and allies. so this is not new information,

but the timing seems to be very critical. in other words, there was some confusion as to the united states wanted to underscore, this is where we stand. nothing has changed. broader can be thinks about, so it can be how could there washington d. c. meanwhile the u. k. prime minister has arrived in kia far as johnson meeting. the ukranian president flooded miss lensky to discuss the security packed . basically you can pilot of offered 8th to ukraine, called bread and has more now from london. we've got not just the british prime minister, also the polish, and the dutch leaders making whistles stopped to kiev at the ukrainian capital. so you can see that after a period where i think president lensky of ukraine had been complaining that europe wasn't doing enough. the certainly a lot of diplomatic and political attention that he's getting in the immediate short term far as far as johnson goes, he was here down the street this morning for a cabinet briefing, which was addressed by the chief of the defense staff with some pretty stock

assessments as to exactly the threat that russia poses on the western flank eastern flank of europe and russia, western plaque. and he said, russia as land combat power gathered on the western border on a scale not seen before. together with a pattern of collection and intimidation. prime minister brief ministers, his cabinet colleagues on a package of sanctions, which could be applied in the event of a russian invasion that has been heavy gunfire in guinea. besides the government headquarters in the capital bazaar, the west african regional blog echo us has called it an attempted coup cabinet meeting was being held at a time. nick hack has been fully developed from doctrines cynical. jones is on skype and what more, you know? well, there's a precarious column right now and the capital of going to be so be, so we know that the military have taken control of key locations within the capital . so the presidential palaces in the hand of the military, the palace for the government is in the hands of the military. the minister of

interior and other key government buildings. what's interesting here is we still have no news from the prime minister and the president gunfire erupted just around 12 o'clock local time when he president and barlow was holding a cabinet meeting. i witnessed, saw soldiers launching an assault on the palace of the government. where that meeting has been taking place that we've seen stern words already from the west african body echo was asking for the military to return to their bowel barrick said, alluding for of this potential qu, and also from the un secretary general saying that he's deeply concerned over the events that are taking place in the south system, all of confusion on who's in charge and who's behind what seems to be an attempted cru, nick and what's the context of this, especially given the ongoing instability, the reason well, 1st of all be so is there it is familiar to cruise,

there's been 9 qu since it doc it's independence and there's always been a tussle of power between elected officials and, and the military. in fact, no elected official and going to be so has ever been able to finish his time in the office and there was an attempted crew in october that was foil than when we were in be so last year, the elections, the election results were called into question by the opposition and then by the constitutional court that, that stand of that, that confirmed about election. but ever since there's been some unease in the rex of the military. you have to also remember the context and getting the south for the state department. it sees this as a norco state, and there's been members senior members of the military that have been accused of trafficking cocaine from columbia through going to be so 2 european markets to europe and the united kingdom. so there's,

there's an element of mistrust between the government and parts of the security forces. one of the main challenge for bothers has come to power is try to unite people behind his elected officials. but it seems right now that that's been called into question. precarious. com right now on the streets of be so, but this comes as perhaps the latest qu, to region in riverdale last week, a could burkina faso and a few months earlier, a qu in get giddy in september. and then earlier than that, in the, in the there was a coo and molly betz. the 4th qu, in the region, a major setback for democracy, according to it got us president, not a cooper auto, and who will be chairing the west african body across an extraordinary summit on thursday to discuss what seems to be an evan. this sent back a democracy and it institutions, so it appears to be still on use of where the president and we're waiting to hear

more from the sour neck or back with you soon as we get more information for the time being. thanks very much. nicholas. hi, reporting back was still ahead here announce zera. oh. 2 to point threats from military protests as a mere mom on one. yes. and i, misty international accuses israel of apartheid saying it's maintained a system of oppression and domination of palestinians for decades. ah hey there, thanks for joining in. welcome to your world weather report for the middle east, we've got some high temperatures, a southerly porch across the van, so gazda high of 20 degrees. it's the opposite around the gulf. we've got

a wind blowing from the north, so that's pressing down temperatures. madame a 19 degrees del ha, 22. so not so bad, but those winds will be whipping up to about 55 kilometers per hour. that's going to swirl around the sand and dust an impact. the visibility here, high temperature is also for southern pakistan, karachi, a high of 30 degrees, a shield of snow cutting across afghanistan, and pretty quiet rate across iran on wednesday. really, the bulk of the activity is around the a, g and c. so what, whether for western turkey, southern turkey, and also some gloomy and what conditions for is stumble with the high of 11 degrees for southern africa flooding, very likely across central eastern portions of namibia through the northern cape western cape and eastern cape. and some of these storms could be severe. as we head toward the weekend, we have an incoming tropical storm looking to make landfall along that east coast of madagascar. and very likely to produce some more severe flooding. and this area is trying to recover from its last bout of flooding. okay,

that's all for me. we'll see you soon. take care. ah. in south korea military service is compulsory but some refused to take part one at $18.00 weeks. those dodging the draft on al jazeera, the 35th meeting of the african union will see heads of states discuss cobit 19 in the conflict in ethiopia, with climate change, but kina, paso, and other west african coups. high on the agenda. can they deliver a unified response to the regions mounting challenges, special coverage on out just sierra. ah ah.

other guy you're watching out to 0 reminder about top stories and rushes. president vladimir putin says the u. s. and his allies have ignored his country's main security demands. putin is just held talks with hungary prime minister at britney's prime ministers in ukraine to discuss the security packed elsewhere. diplomats are involved in negotiations to try to ease the threat of a potential invasion by tens of thousands of russian soldiers mass from the ukrainian border. the west african regional block echo us has the condemned what it described as you attempted to give yourself. loud gunfire has been heard new government headquarters in the presidential palace. it's not clear who opened fire just as the company meeting was being held in the capital to sell. well, the world health organization says it's still too early to declare victory against covered 90. austria is the 1st country in europe to make coven vaccination, compulsory for all adults. every one who's not medically exempt needs to be

vaccinated or face fines of around $4000.00. and denmark has become the 1st e u. country to lift nearly all its pandemic restrictions, despite record numbers of infections. while jeffrey lazarus is head of at the health systems research group at the boston institute for global health. and he says, easing of all restrictions at once makes little sense. i think its a bad move to left 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. i think denmark, in that sense to setting a bad president, it's basically politics over public health. 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, being able to say 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 that population. so cases are higher than ever. and hospitalizations actually going up, the numbers in the intensive care units is, is not going up. so that's a good sign. but i mean, your hospitalizations are going up, which is quite worrisome when you look at the unvaccinated. i'm 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 um, they're not everyone is, is boosted and even people who are vaccinated can get infected and some of them can go on to have serious consequences. i do believe that there were 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 sense. amazon international is describing israel as an apartheid state because of its treatment of palestinians who writes campaign groups as policies of segregation, disposition of exclusion in israel and milk. why territories demonstrate the palestinians are treated as an inferior racial. green is red denounced gum since

report is false, boston antisemitic. it's not the act of violence. i have seen violence before. it is the cruelty under system, the in tree kit evolving administration of control, disposition and inequality. the incredible detail to do or critique zation upon which that system is predicated. it's she banality. and that time absurdity that as taken my breath away with israeli foreign minister criticize arms international and rejected 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 result seriously 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. as disconnected from reality. while it's here now from the day abraham, who 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 houses, 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 palestinian residents say that they have just a fraction of that. if any of us are in the little bottle of drama, we've been asking for an official entrance to the village for more than 20 years. that is really police often comes to give 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 back to 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 that or national community to how pressure israel to put an end to its oppression. well, israel military says it will punish 3 senior officers in connection with the death of an elderly palestinian american man. soldiers drive 78 year old aside from a car and then bound and blindfolded him during a routine check. last month, your face down in band and building though to say a sad, died of a stress induced heart attack. it is exactly one year since mammals, military disease control and the comb security forces of arrested dozens of people in an attempt to suppress plans from nationwide strike. spite threats from the authorities just as in mandalay marched early in the morning carrying banners and chanting slogans. calling for democracy military lead has promised a swift return to civilian rule when they took over last february. with that has not happened. some people in miramar had been telling our correspondent tony chain that life for most has become much harder under military rule,

were hiding their identities to protect to drive around mia 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, montoya, i saw the army. this tried 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 rejoined a 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 will not be. i won't forget that

the nationwide rail network has ground to halt. after work has joined the civil disobedience movement and bust prices have tripled as operators, abandoned standardized rules thought any lawyer or, in my opinion, if we get rid of army rule transport services will go back to normal. with properly working buses, a normal ticket price is only historically the people of ma'am are used to military rule, but after a decade of progress and development, the last 12 months is leaving many failing. is it they are returning to the past? tourney, chang, al jazeera members of parliament in japan, her pastor 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 accusation. it highlights the plight of muslim minority weakness as well as concerns about hong kong and tibet. japan has joined
