challenge the action in cold and disappearing 3 times faster than forests on world wetlands day. we look at why few migratory birds are traveling to india during winter. ah, so we begin with a growing crisis on ukraine's border with russia. you as president joe biden is ordering the pentagon to deploy additional troops to eastern europe. 2000 american soldiers will head to poland and to germany and 1000 will be repositioned to romania, fear us in nato already have tens of thousands of troops in europe. but russia's president vladimir putin as to the world nato allies in to turn to and defend against any aggression. now, as the secretary said friday, we do not know if russia has made

a final decision to further and aid 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 lock step 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 is rest as president vladimir putin says, the west is trying to look him into a war with ukraine and insist that moscow's concerns about nature's expansion east would have been ignored. russia is arrest tens of thousands of soldiers on its border with ukraine and the u. k. prime minister bras johnson and said any invasion would be a disastrous miscalculation. he is due to hold the phone call. let me put in as later on wednesday and dos. jabari standing by for us in moscow, but 1st let's go straight to our white house correspondent,

kimberly how can send kimberly joe biden has the auntie. yes, says the united states continues to maintain that the best way to resolving security differences between russia and the united states in his european partners is diplomacy and dialogue. the u. s. is escalating in terms of its repositioning of soldiers some already in europe, some in the united states now being re positioned to move to romania, poland and germany. and it's important to note that in the case of poland, the nato bass, that some of the soldiers will be going to, it's just 57 kilometers from a sliver of the russian border. now, in terms of the numbers, as the united states continues to maintain, that the positioning of rushes troops along the border with near your crane is russian aggression. and we should point out that it is tens of thousands of russian

troops. the number of troops that the united states is moving is relatively small, just 3000. but certainly it sends a very strong signal that the united states watts, too, at the invitation of its allies, bolster the nato force along the eastern flank. it says to as centrally send a message that they want to forward the path of diplomacy. but if russia chooses an alternate path and that is to invade ukraine, that then there will be an effort to support the nato allies with the military force of the united states. or it can be thanks for. kimberly, how could in washington dc i let's go across to master dual. he jabbar his time. he well either so dull. so the u. s. at repositioning troops and so forth was the russian response being oh, we've just here been hearing from the russian deputy foreign minister,

alexander garasco, who reiterated what we heard earlier that this is being seen as a destructive step. the deputy foreign minister said that this certainly will increase the military tensions that have been ongoing. over the past few weeks, we also been hearing from an m p, who was the deputy head of the foreign affairs committee at dmitri nova. cough. who said that this is also a destructive step and it will be seen as an attempt to try and hack the ongoing negotiations about the security guarantees that this country's looking for. certainly not very positive reactions as you can imagine. and there's a lot going to be a lot more, a concern nick coming out of the officials from moscow over the coming hours and in to thursday. it's important to point out that these american troops that are specifically going to poland, which shares a border with bell roofs, will likely be very close to russian military personnel as well. because of course, russia is going to be holding a military drill from february 10th until the 20th with the bell russian government,

at the request of that government, at the joint military drills that will be taking place because the bell, russian governments that they want to increase their border security. so this is possibly a, another situation where things could escalate further. but for the time being officials of said that these are destructive steps. and of course, vladimir putin has said that all this is being done to try and force russia to step back on. it's that man's, that it's made to from nato on the west, about the expansion of nato, as well as to, to get nato to go back to its 1997 membership numbers. when there were 16 countries part of that alliance. now there are 30 something hooted has said, is very much a concern for this country security. for the time being, we're waiting to find out more about what vladimir putin will decide to do next. he is due to respond to the americans counter proposal that dave receives a it's been a week now since that hand written response was delivered to the foreign ministry

here. and officials are waiting for the president to decide how to move forward for the time being potent has said that they, he wants dialogue to continue about the security guarantees and, and all sides until now of pointed towards that. but we'll have to wait and see whether not the slightest announcement will change things dress or a daughter. thanks for that. that's pitcher in moscow. dorsey jibari porting unless now turn to the democratic republic of congo where a gunman have killed at least 72 people. attack happened at a count for internally displaced people in the eastern province of rhetoric. fighters from the co operative for the development of the congo known as we could echo, are suspected of organizing. the raid beyond group is kill hundreds of people in the region and forced houses from the homes in the past 5 years. let's look now at co deco be cooperative for the development of the congo. is a coalition of arm groups formed back in the 1970s. and the group was initially set out to help the lender community in the agricultural activities in

me go to and launched to sequential cruise in 202-2021. relations with france have soured, as a military leaders established themselves and looked for allies to support their rule. aside, beg, i'll g 0. the urban commission is being accused of what's being described as greenwashing because of its proposals to classify gas and nuclear investments as sustainable. the commission argues that gas and nuclear power plants can bridge the energy gap, while coal fired electricity stations as shut down. some countries say, investment should be directed towards cleaner and green energy, such as wind and solar power. austria says it will challenge the action in court. germany has long had a strong progress dance that opposes nuclear. dominic cane is more in 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. but 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 energy, energy generation. and then those who really don't. and those who say will actually there is a place for natural gas and it pitts to on the one side, the french government of president mclaren, 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 who 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 that's germany for it's part france says nuclear energy is crucial to meeting climate targets. natasha butler has more from paris on the fact that the european union has added 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 before nuclear to be included. now from from been a proponent of nuclear power, it derives 70 percent of its energy needs from nuclear. there are nearly 20 plans 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 the european union 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 wish. and guess inclusion of nuclear on the green list is certainly controversial. not all member states are on board, austria, luxembourg, 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 backed by germany

in all. this is infuriating environmentalists with cues. the european union of not living up to its climate promises me the number of caves related deaths in the united states is at an almost 12 month high day to compound by johns hopkins university shows a 39 percent increase in fatalities in the past 2 weeks. current of virus infections exceed 75000000 with the on the chrome variant accounting for almost all infections. the south pacific i nation of tara is going back into locked down after detecting 5 k v. 19 infections in the capitol. humanitarian aid has been arriving through the port after last month's volcanic eruptions. unami a target had not reported any cases before. the natural disaster will earlier. my colleague during our brigade spoke to drew heavier, the vice president at the top, a red cross,

and she asked how the new infections were found. what i know we had 2 days dish of people were working a wharf unloading or stuck from the ship to day. we're going through stated testing and where they were found to we'll push to and the government is working. busy very quickly to try to make sure that this is for the team. but i figure, well when not officially announce, but we mo dish about 5 cases. so we hope that the case is still increase. the government hopes that the next 48 hours they will be able to make sure that they took all the people that were associated contacted. how will

this locked down that's now been announced by the government effects as their recovery operation in tonga? that is still very much underway and very much needed a very much the common, this alone essential services continued. or those who are working on dervish orange, or you have to be fully should need it. when you have to be to ship to make sure that there's no more strictly offer or the right wing political groups world wide or increasingly involved in protests against vaccine mandates, with some threatening to attack government leaders. the latest rally was in australia's capital, when, hey, reports now from cambra. ah, this protest took place in australia's capital cambridge outside the national press club. the message was that journalists are somehow involved in a conspiracy to spread misinformation about coven 19 vaccines,

and government mandates. this is not just about the vaccine, that's their defense. but the way that they're actually trying to silence off anti vaccination movement to nothing new, but they were traditionally regarded as fringe organizations with concerns about the safety of vaccines. cove at 19 has changed that and muddied the message. there are now a wide range of rally and cries that protests like wanting to win countries back from so called dictor tauriel governments. there are a conspiracy theories and messages of hate violence. and even n, a key far right groups in their political allies are seeing an opportunity to spread their messages and are increasingly showing up to and in some cases, organizing rallies. ha, ha, ha ha. they want to vaccinate us by force. now they even want to vaccinate our children, who do not need such experimental vaccines. in canada,

thousands led by truck drivers gathered in ottawa to protest vaccine mandates. some of the organizes a well known far right activists, including one who says the scene was created to de, populate the white race and another who spreads is lamb. a phobia. prime minister justin trudeau, who on monday announced he had tested positive the coven 19, says, protest is a being misled to the politicians. exploiting people's fears. i ask you to think long and hard about the consequences of your actions. most protests around the world have been peaceful, attended by people who have genuine concerns about vaccines, but their message is increasingly being lost in a misinformation campaign being waged by others who have ulterior motives. wayne, hey, al jazeera nolan, india has been a major pit stop for many birds migrating from central asian parts of europe during the harsh nor the winter, but vanishing wetlands in degrading habitat. so fled to fewer birds making that

journey of metal as this report. not from today. on this cold foggy morning, a gaggle of gray ladies is perched on an islet the mostly found in northern europe . but this time of year leave that icy climate and flock to northern india, her happy dare to the college of the peculiar woodland depends on volcanic ecosystems. how much functioning properly functioning, non functioning, are kind of degrading that also because her what her boots are also done. natural environmental indicator of the hilt of disorder, or every winter, hundreds of species migrate from the arctic to south asia along a route called the central ation. fly re, india has the largest diversity of waterfowl in the region. but over the years, the habitats have degraded and numbers have dwindled. this stretch of the yamuna river in new jelly is one of the most polluted in the world. it's also i see girls from siberia spend the winter. i'll miley is an avid bird watcher and participate

in the bud senses every year. what i have a job here it is here and all community right now in the recent years is because of the lot. none of the maintainance of the places were to little are in a bad shape because are they were not, are taking care of the please. so i, this is a global warming, has destructive rud migration patterns with many to reward or seeing what those who have made the long journey to their winter homes. either through them, through or like this river, become more talk in the us home to more than 200000 wetlands. but human activity like dumping, waste, construction and agriculture have damaged or destroyed large parts of them. it's all to one. major cities have been increasingly inundated during the monsoon season, so flag modernism. i'll definitely say it is that it may the miserable intellect. modernism. apart from that, the, the meeting is on a climate in the backs. and at the same time, because not only that,

he was his dumps arissa, i relate large thoughts, livelihood, opportunity to local people. birdwatchers hooked their annual census will lead to better conservation policies. they hope for more government funding and better protections. their efforts are slowly bearing fruit avenue, middle al jazeera new delhi. ah, so this is out there. these are the top stories, and 3000 american troops have been sent to europe to reinforce data and deter russian invasion of ukraine. russia's president vladimir putin as accusing the u. s . and its allies of trying to lure him into war with ukraine. of the u. s. and nato already have tens of thousands of troops in europe. russia has a 125000 troops. net ukraine's borders. these movements are unmistakable signals to the world that we stand ready to reassure our nato allies into turned and defend against.
