are come for also we had all protected whenever the ram is protected, it does not apply. being matched on the stick about us. you just look at it in a very different way. said that perspective men and men meeting each other and they don't have any pollution. let me get it clear for you this analogy. sierra. ah, you as president joe biden approves the deployments of thousands of troops to eastern europe has tensions mounts on ukraine. russian border ah, i'm nick clog this is out there. a lie from de also coming up done, man attack account for internally displaced people in eastern democratic republic of congo. kelly at least 72. molly defaults on multiple bond payments. his

regional sanctions imposed on the military gentle for delaying elections. take effect at the european union is accused of green washing labeling some investments in gas in nuclear energy, as sustainable austria says, it'll challenge the action in cold ah see, as we begin with the growing military stand off spots by the crisis on ukraine's border with russia the u. s. president joe biden is ordering the pentagon to deploy additional troops to eastern europe, to thousands. american soldiers will head to poland and to germany, and 1000 will be repositioned to romania. the u. s. a nice who already have tens of thousands of troops in europe. these movements are unmistakable signals to the world that we stand ready to reassure our nato allies into turned and, and defend against any aggression. now as the secretary said, friday,

we do not know if russia has made a final decision to further they'd ukraine. but it clearly has that capability. the department of defense will continue to support diplomatic efforts led by the white house and the state department to press for resolution. we do not believe conflict is inevitable. united states in lockstep with our allies in partners has offered russia a path to deescalate. but we will take all prudent measures to assure our own security and that of our allies. that is the pentagon spokesman, but russia's president vladimir putin says the west is trying to look him into a war with ukraine and insists that moscow's concerns, but nature's expansions would have been ignored. russia has a mass, tens of thousands of soldiers on its border with ukraine. the u. k. prime minister bros johnson has said any evasion would be a disastrous miscalculation and he's due to hold a phone call with vladimir putin later on wednesday. those of jabari is standing by

1st in moscow, but 1st let's go straight to a white house correspondent at kimberly allocated, and kimberly said joe biden, up in the ante he certainly is, even as the white house continues to maintain, that they hoped that vladimir putin will choose the path of diplomacy that they see diplomacy as the best way of resolving security disputes among the partner nations and between russia. oh, what they are continuing to do is, as you suggest up the anti, this in the form of repositioning us soldiers in the eastern flag, european countries of nato. now, the pentagon spokesperson very clear as he held his press conference in the last hour to note that none of these troops would be positioned in ukraine, and that led some reporters to ask. then, why exactly are they being deployed now?

is there any new intelligence? there was no clear answer to that question. instead, the only thing that the pentagon supposed person could say is that they see worrying signs from the russian side. and so they feel that at the invitation of these countries, they want to sort of send the signal and be prepared and have these troops at the ready. but in terms of any imminent intelligence, if the united states has that intelligence, it has not been shared or what kind of support will j. barden have for this in government? well, certainly the rhetoric here in the united states is one that russia is meddler, that this is a force that the united states public should be concerned about. you have to remember that this is, according to the majority of the intelligence agencies in the united states,

is responsible for manipulating the 2016 u. s. election. you have to remember that russia has been pinpointed by us intelligence agencies of, of accessing through backdoor espionage, a number of concerns with respect to energy, whether it be accessing is capital or even the sort of intellectual property of a variety of different business ventures in the united states, so many americans have been touched and concerned by what they see is various forms of what the white house calls russian aggression. so certainly there will be an appetite for countering that. but that doesn't address any of this in terms of the positioning of these troops. and when it comes to the activation of the military in the united states, there isn't a healthy appetite for that. given the fact that the united states has just seen the withdrawal of us troops from afghanistan, it was massey, and there were i and,

and there certainly is war fatigue in the united states as a result of a generation of war. uh, there isn't a lot of support for seeing a new war and having us troops involved in it or can reflect about that can be hung up there in washington, d. c. led. so across to moscow, now dosage bar is done by so dosa, joe biden upping the ante. what response from vladimir putin? while we're waiting to find out how his phone conversation with a u. k prime minister boris johnson, will go in the coming hours. and the kremlin has said that they will release details of that discussion once it takes place. but we've been hearing from an m p by the name of dmitri nova called for who is the deputy head of the foreign affairs committee in the duma. and he said that at this move is an absolutely destructive step. and it will certainly complicate things in ukraine, and he also went on to say that these actions can also be seen as an attempt to

hack the fragile negotiating process that is taking place about security guarantees that rushes looking for from the u. s. government, of course, we're still wait waiting for villa vladimir putin to make up his mind about how to respond to the counter and response that he's received from the americans a week ago today. now, when the u. s. ambassador to russia delivered a hand written response to the foreign ministry here about those security guarantees. the russians have said that, of course, the expansion of nato's at their top concern. this certainly will be seen as a moved by the u. s. government to try and put further pressure on vladimir putin to really as step back from his demands. and of course, they said that he said that there's something to happen. this is about russia security and that they have nato build up around that. this at the borders of russia is something that is not up for discussion. of course, you have to remember that the troops that will be added to the ones that are already in poland. it will be seen as an important step because of course,

poland is a country that borders bella, roofs and bell roofs is where. now, a lot of the russian, i'm a hardware for military hardware and personnel have been sent over the past few weeks because from february 10th, for a 10 day period, at the requests of the bell, russian governments, they will be holding joints and military drills with the russian army in bella, roosts, and of course, one of the main concerns of that government was their border security. so we could see possibly situation where russian and battle russian troops are carrying out military drills. and then there are on the other side of that border in poland, u. s. troops now. so they're certainly now, this will be seen as a step by the american government to escalate the tensions that are ongoing. instead of trying to de escalate, which is something the russian president sat there or he was hoping would happen through dialogue and diplomacy that it will find out more about where his, his positions will stand and what his response will be in the coming hours. that's

a picture in moscow adults, a thank sir, dosage bar either or at we turned down to the democratic republic of congo, a gunman of killed at least 72 people. the attack happened that the camphor internally displaced people in the eastern province. if i tore a fight as from the co operative for the development of the congo known as co, decker, a suspected of organizing the raid, the arm group was killed. hundreds of people in the region enforced thousands from their homes in the past 5 years. so who are these could deco fighters while the corporate have for the development of congo is a coalition of arm groups formed to the 1970s? the group was initially set out to help the lender community in the agricultural activities in attorney province. attentions with the hammer tribe lead to a bloody conflict in east democratic republic of congo, and at least 50000 people were killed during the conflict between 19992003. that's her now from a her son a come n g, who's the director of the horn. international institute for strategic studies and

based nairobi, explains what's behind this longstanding conflict between lendue and hammer communities. each actually has the soda against the colonial history in which the assumption that the ma community was particularly hey, but now this letter on a ball to become an ethnic nationalist, religious cult, kind of outfit. we very extra mean, you know, kind of approach on why the addition of what they want is not related. i think the extent of the kind of stomach that we need to do, especially as a result in part of the joint effort by the convalescent you're going to the troops to route out extra me element in this situation that he's like you to escalate of bob especially the snow white rhythm, coordinated or response that he's going to insure the 7. but it's essentially an

nationalist that has also run into religious come a more or less compared perhaps the most. what is that. we know, you know, breaking and you going, this is a region that has more than 120 groups of regions where a government is blocking why the international community. he's absent and not mentioning, you know, the region gets better remarks, but also very bad. and very densely populated and so they, they, especially the idp being totally disposed of basically a critical moment. probably some of them are going to be killed, others are going to vision impact because access to this area is limited to hell, a lot of times a fund in between and saw a bit dire situation. i think close to attention of the community to try and perhaps more of a robot united nations response especially when comes to piece making or the peacekeepers as well as you might have any. well also in the d, i'll see

a lightning strike is suspected of causing a high voltage electricity cable to break to break can be at least 25 people. several died instantly as the cable fell on homes and a market on the outskirts of the capitol. kinshasa i still had hair and al jazeera top, a female long distance run, as in kenya speaking out of the winning, big in the sport, only to lose it all to abusive husbands. ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored by cattle and ways. welcome to your world's weather update will begin in northern india, where there is some rain falling between the star and the indian states of the recall. and the darker the color here, the more intense the rain is falling, and we do have weather alerts in play across are cars that we could power up some

thunderstorms. now the ne monsoon subdued right now, so plenty of sun for the southeast corner of india, right across the long and the moby se asia looks like the storms coming and going in the typical spots. but i want to take you to a minute now right now in the philippines because we're just getting hammered with rain. so that includes for the val, we gotta be on the lookout for some flooding here. rain is starting to skirt away from china. we'll talk more about that in his fact that i want to show you the picture for indo china. quite the temperature story here in vietnam and noise, 17 degrees that's below average, but hokum in city 35, that's above average. ok now to that rain in southern china, it's starting to pull away and it's going to slam right into northern areas of taiwan that includes type here with the hiv, 18 degrees on thursday. c effects smell once again for western areas of japan. this includes honshu and whole kado sunshine though, for tokyo on thursday, with a high the love and degrees looking pretty good. that your update season, ah,

the weather sponsored by katara always got one of the fastest growing nations in the world. i needed to open and develop a whole international shipping company to become a team, middle east, and trade and money skillfully enough re key is up to about filling up from the connecting the connecting the future. got cut to gateway to whoa trade. lou ah, area. and you're watching out 0 reminder of our top stories. the united states will

be deploying a thousands more troops to eastern europe as tensions grow along ukraine's border with russia. this is vladimir putin accuses the west, trying to look russia into a wall with ukraine. government and the democratic republic of congo have killed at least 72 people in a camp for the internally displaced. a fight is from the on groups known as co deco or suspected to be behind the rate in the provinces. i tutti. what molly's military lead is a blaming sanctions from missing 3 deadlines to avoid defaulting on treasury bond payments. the default amounts to $31000000.00, west africa regional organization. nicola imposed sanctions after the military genta delayed elections until 2025. all, sir, and molly frances ambassador is being expelled for what it described was outrageous . comments made made by the french foreign minister john eve. latoria said that molly's leadership was out of control and illegitimate expulsion is expected to cause a reassessment to the french military mission in molly to confront,

fight is linked to al qaeda and i so i said back has more the future of french troops in molly is in doubt as relations with the former colonial power to tear it off the front is foreign minister called molly's military rule of illegitimate. the military called the comments outragious and kicking at the french ambassador. miss paris has become increasingly frustrated. the presence of russian mercenaries in molly to combat on the groups go to the russian wagon group stands accused of tending minute, natural resources such as gold and uranium in exchange for protecting the military government. visa multimedia, telephone, dilation of molly such to day that they have only one partner, the mercenaries of fag, nor group. that's all they can find. everyone else is once molly, to return to democracy and to fight against terrorism in 2013 french forces repelled on groups. invading molly, almost 10 years on the security situation has deteriorated dramatically with

thousands killed and millions displaced by the ongoing fighting. in largely though the sal region, the french military presence has been increasingly questioned and reviewed by molly's military genta. last month, denmark withdrew around $100.00 soldiers deployed alongside french and international troops after the 1000000 government said they hadn't been invited. the current situation requires respect for commitment and dialogue on the part of the man you know, sorted and a negative spiral in which they have engaged can only be their true mental to the ability of the money itself. but also to the region. since current, i see me going to launch 2 sequential crews in 202-2021. relations with france have soured as a military lead did establish themselves and you look for allies to support their rule. i said, beg, i'll jazeera, let's go back to that deadly attack on account of the internally displaced

democratic republic of congo. we can now speak to tom pet costa, who's the regional media advisor for no we to refugee council in central and west africa. jones is not from the army in niger, thanks for joining us. a tell us more about the so. ready festival to reaction and communicate. so yesterday, around 9 p. m. the camp of plan saba was attacked by an armored group in each ri, north eastern congo. they, this massacre made more than $59.00 victims, including 14 children, including 2 children were, were studying at, in our school. so this is the 5th time since november that m. o displacement can heart have been deliberately targeted by army groups. it is an acceptable and the norwegian rate for you until is family condemning this today and women and children significantly among the dead?

yes, i'm sorry that i said more than 14 children beds we've seen. we've seen the reports . the images are terrible at these population. this camp is hosting around 24000 people and these people are already flim the violence since 2019 in the region. and now today they are being attacked precisely where they should be safe. but they are nuts and, and we are saying that safety, he's there, right. so we are calling every one to ensure that these innocent civilians are protected. we are calling on the government. we are calling on the international community. these violence needs to stop and it needs to stop. now, as you say, there's been a, an escalation of these deliberate and targeted attack. so what you think is behind that increase nothing justifies is kind of violence. this region you to read in north east in congo team and

a strong increase of violence in 2017. there is a strong inter coming out there between the community of emma and mental or turner's as those, and then do the armors and the overlap. so this is the root cause of the conflict, but right now, nothing has been so far to address me. so we are also asking the moment to address this because of now because they are going to be more and more pictures . we don't do any for the congress authorities. what could they be doing that they're not doing now there needs to be dialogue between the. busy writing community, at some point there were, there were, there was a process in place to discuss the army groups to include them and maybe to read and write them in the national army. there has been a lot of mission done, but nothing has been done so far. so i think it's time for everyone to come back to

the table in the violence. there is this is not obviously is not the solution. we appreciate your time as compared costa at the regional metre, advisor for norwegian. refuse counsel, thanks very much. there have been commission is being accused of what's being described as greenwashing because of its proposals to classify gas and nuclear investments is unsustainable. the commission argues that gas and nuclear power plants can bridge the energy gap, while coal fired electricity stations is shut down. some countries, a investment should be directed towards cleaner and green energy, such as wind and solar power. austria says it will challenge the you action in court. while germany has long had a strong pro gas stones, but opposes nuclear. dominey cane is more on that perspective from berlin. the issue here is that the commission has been trying to plot its way through to potentially very divergent roots that have being suggested to it. like

a tug of war between on the one side, the member states of the you who think that nuclear power does have a place in the future of engine energy generation. and then those who really don't . and those who say, well, actually there is a place for natural gas and it pitts to on the one side, the french government of president macklin, who says that there is this place for nuclear energy because it can be managed in small modular areas where the waste product can safely be stored and managed, and then the german side of things which and other member states to say natural gas is an answer. so in one sense, there is an argument that there is a little bit of what they want in this for everybody. and yet they are, i'm in the states such as the austrian sewer, so incense by this judgement. they say they're considering legal action because they don't believe nuclear power has a place. the interesting thing here in a sense of how can this be stopped if somebody wanted to, there are only 2 obvious routes. the 1st is if 20 member states out of the 27

e. u. member states were to flatly say no. the 2nd one would be if a majority of the european parliament were to say, know, well, we know that the green party has considerable representation in the european parliament. so it is going to be worth watching, how things in brussels and strasburg develop. but that's the sort of political significance of, of it as it stands right now. well, front for its part says that nuclear energy is crucial to meet in climate targets. in fact, butler has more on that from paris. the fact that the european union has, i did nuclear power to its green list for investment to me. energy sector is a big win for, from because the french government have been lobbying hard and long for nuclear to be included. now from, from being a proponent of nuclear power, it derive 70 percent of its energy needs from nuclear. there are nearly 20 plugs in

the country and the french present to my new micro wants to build many more. now, micro argues that nuclear is much cleaner than fossil fuels and can help your opinion become more self reliant when it comes to energy. for one analyst that i spoke to said in terms of energy sovereignty and the you region is climate goals. nuclear power is not a long term solution. it takes from 10 to 15 years to nuclear plants. so in the long run, you can argue that nuclear can be useful to strengthen your independence. but in the short term, what you need to do is rather invest in new in renewables and in energy efficiency . if you want to be independent and get rid of, for instance, the russian gas inclusion of nuclear on the green list is certainly controversial. not all member states are on board, austria luxemburg, and germany for example, say that nuclear is potentially an environmental hazard, as well as nuclear natural gas has also been included on the list,

but by germany in all this is infuriating environmentalists who cues the european union of not living up to its climate promises the south pacific nation and tara is going back into long town, out to taking 5 covered 19 infections in the capitol. humanitarian aid has been arriving through the port of the last months underwater volcanic eruption and su nami tona had not reported any cases before the natural disaster. but earlier, my colleague theory navigator spoke to drew heavier, the vice president of the tongue, a red cross, and asked how the new infections were found. what they know, we had 2 cases of people were working a wolf unloading or stuck from the ship. i think they were going through this see where they were from with and got me be slipping very quickly to try

to make sure that this is what i'm saying. but i see it when not officially announced, but we mo, dish about 5 cases. so we hope that the casey stone increase the cover in hopes that in the next 48 hours, they will be able to make sure that they took all the people that was associated contacted. how will this lockdown that's now been announced by the government affects as their recovery operation in tonga? that is still very much underway and very much needed if you did the very much for companies allow you to central services. but we continued those who are working on respons, well, you have to be fully dixie natick, and you have to make sure the dish no,

as more spreading off the becoming a world class. runaway western kenya is one of the few ways young women can lift themselves out of poverty. but many of the country's top female athletes say that soft a winning big, they've lost everything to predatory husbands who stolen their hard earned wealth. mark web as this report teaches me ruth bossy story, then tens of thousands of dollars from winning $3000.00 me to steeplechase events all over the world over her 15 year running career. but she says she gave the money to her husband to invest in properties. she said he became violent, then left her and took everything for him. had it motives, he only was after my and my switch. so it broke my heart because when i see the attrition, i mean at the moment i sometimes like her when to say,

we says she's not alone. she lives in the town of a 10 in kenya, where many of the worlds fastest long distance runners come from. she has many of the female athletes here, lose their winnings to abusive, ponders. few ever spoke out about it until world record breaking professional athlete agnes to rob was stamped to death at her home 3 months ago. please charged her husband with murder. it prompted outcry against domestic abuse in kenya and beyond. john jay leno, who's one half madison's over the world. so she left an abusive husband after he took most of her winnings. she's been speaking out, says thousands of other abused female athletes have since contacted her. she set up a charity to help them like agnes still she, she could not tell anyone her problems. so most of them i asked that the suffering

in silence. so. busy many objective is to try to, to get the and for them just to know their rights, what's what they are capable of doing. many of the runners begin when they're teenagers and can be vulnerable in the country, business of professional sport. most people here are wealthy, many live in shacks, small scale farming on the only ways that people can make a living. and a lot of the athletes say when they start out running, i can't even afford their own trainers and the winning the prizes from international running competitions is one of the only ways to make a decent living on the edge of a 10 is a growing suburb. of the homes of the few athletes here that make it, the winnings can be big. this for joanne says, attract per day 3 men to winning women. caroline and gerace went around $10000.00 running long distance races in china just before the global pandemic. he

says her ex pon violently took all the money she ever won until she ran away. we met with 2 of her friends who told similar stories. hunger would like to come over, he sees all we're appealing for is an office to represent us. similar, we could go to report this. there are even prominent athletes among us who are not able to be and have know where to go. caroline and her friends hope to win more prizes so they can replace what they say they last to a piece. have partners, they say many of those around them keep suffering in silence. malcolm web al jazeera, it's in kenya. ah, so this is 0, these are the top stories, and the united states will be deploying thousands more troops to eastern europe as tension grew along. ukraine's border with russia says vladimir putin accuses the west of trying to live russia into a war with ukraine.
