weeks of a rush, an invasion of ukraine, the white house on wednesday, downgraded that threat from president vladimir putin saying an evasion is no longer imminent. i use that once, i think others have used that once, and then we stopped using it because i think it sent in a message that we weren't intending to send, which was that we knew that president putin had made a decision. still, the united states is sending more troops to eastern europe with some of the this will be re position to romania. others will be coming from the united states to poland and germany. it's a response to president putin who has position tens of thousands of troops inside russia near ukraine's border. it's important that we send a strong signal to mister potent and frankly to the world that nato matters to the united states. it needed matters to our allies and we have iron clad article 5

killing at least $72.00, becoming a world class runner is one of a few ways that young women in kenya can lift themselves out of poverty, but many of the country's top female athletes say that after winning big, they've lost everything to predatory husbands who stole their hard earned wealth. malcolm web report stuff from e. 10 in the healey highlands of western kenya. or many of the athletes come from teaches me. ruth bossy doria then tens of thousands of dollars from winning $3000.00 me to steeplechase events all over the world. over her 15 year running career, 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. he had motives newly. it was after my my switch. so it breaks my heart because when i see the attrition,

i mean at the moment sometimes like her word 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 run has come from. she has many of the female athletes here, lose their winnings to abusive, ponders. few ever spoke out about it into a world record breaking professional athlete. agnes to rope was stamped to death in 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 did. she?

she could not tell anyone, have problems. so most of them are suffering in silence. so many objective is to try to get them 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 farm is one of 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 that 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 for jo ann's has attract per day, 3 men to winning women. caroline and jerone went around $10000.00 running

long distance races in china just before the global pandemic. he said 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 one like to come over. all were appealing for an office to represent us a similar we could go to report this. there are even prominent athletes among us who are not able to be and have no where to go. caroline and her friends hope to win more prizes so they can replace what they say. they lost to a piece of partners. they say many of those around them keep suffering in silence. malcolm web al jazeera, it's in kenya. new zealanders will be able to return to their country from any nation around the world from the middle of next month. as the country has just announced its loosening some of the worlds at titus the cove restrictions vaccinated. new zealanders in australia will be able to travel from the 28th of

this month without going. busy into quarantine, known as an i q, the border, it will open to vaccinate and usually you see zealand there is from the rest of the world. 2 weeks later, the long term plan is for borders to fully open to anyone in october. it's time to move again. and so today in 5 steps, we move forward with our plan to reconnect new zealand to the world. beginning with step one. today i'm announcing that the fully vaccinated k ways and other currently eligible travelers from australia will be able to travel to new zealand from 11 59 pm, sunday, 27 february. and instead of going into my queue, will be able to south isolate. let's cross live now when hale's into a rango, new zealand and north island, when this was actually initially announced last year, and then it was pushed back. so are we likely to see further delays to this plan or

are they quite firm about the dates they've given? well, the caveat with this announcement from the prime minister is that it is not definite yet. in fact, the cabinet ministers in your government will meet again in just over a couple weeks to decide whether or not to proceed with this timeline to a timeline off. as you mentioned, the 28th of february, opening up to fully vaccinated new zealanders in australia to be able to come home . and then a couple of weeks later, fully vaccinated linda's from other parts of the world to return to new zealand. i don't think this timeline will be shifted. i think that it is become too politically sensitive now for the government has been going on now for a couple of years. and as each month has passed, pressure has mounted on the government to get moving on reopening the border. so i don't think we're going to see that timeline change too much. those new zealand is returning, it should be pointed out while they weren't have to go into an isolation or a quarantine hotel m i q, as you mentioned,

and they will still have to isolate at home initially for a period of 10 days. it will reduce down to 7, and i think eventually it will go down further than that in the not too distant future. and wayne mean is, we've been mentioning new zealand is had some of the strictest ways of dealing with cove at 19. why you open up now, because of course, the pandemic isn't over. well, that's correct. certainly isn't over. in fact usual, and just beginning starting to be to feel the effects of the army kron variance. i think the main reason really is the vaccination rate is now very high, where 93 percent double dosed for everyone over the age of 12. if we go back to june last year and you see ellen had the lowest rate of vaccination in the o. e c d and now has one of the highest that has improved markedly in a relatively short space of time. it's become, as i mentioned, a very politically sensitive issue as well. and while the omicron variant did delay

the reopening of the border, it also came with an acknowledgment from the government that because this very into cobra, 1900 is so infectious that it could not keep it out for much longer. and we have cases in the community now each day, they are increasing. so it would soon become fairly clear that having the situation of new zealand is who a fully vaccinated returning from overseas going into a quarantine hotel for 14 days. while there are cases out there in the que mincie would become fairly redundant very quickly and that's the situation we're getting to now. and not to mention the fact that there are thousands of cylinders who are overseas, who have been unable to get back to new zealand. over the past couple of years because they simply aren't enough hotel rooms in those quarantined facilities. when hey, with lisa from tauranga in new zealand and wayne, thank you. the fraley, a navy, is denying the one of its warships transporting earthquake. a relief to toner is

responsible for several coven cases. in the previously covert free island nation. conger is now in lockdown after 5 positive tests were recorded for 2 dog workers and their families. the isolated pacific nation has only ever reported one previous case. the australian worship at chen. h. m. a. s adelaide doc last week, bringing a release for last month or quake. despite more than 50 positive tests among its crew. covered infections in the united states have fallen 36 percent of a previous weeks, but deaths are up around 4 percent despite omicron being less severe than previous variance. the u. s. reported under the 3622 deaths on tuesday. and the virus is killing americans that far higher rates than people in other wealthy nations. as this graph shows from the start of december, until now, the number of deaths per 1000000 people has slowly grown,

outstripping other developed nations. as of tuesday, just over 53 people per 1000000 are dying every week compared to 36 in the u. k. 18 in belgium and just to in japan. well, this may explain why over the same period the u. s. lingers at the bottom of that very same list of countries when it comes to percentage of people fully vaccinated . it is more whoev only had a single job than any other nation, and a larger share who actually had no vaccine at all. dr. c and c room is an emergency physician and assistant professor of emergency medicine at columbia university. she says the situation could get worse in the coming months. us the worst would smash you lot of comb over the conditions like diabetes, hypertension, c o, p d, and a lot of other chronic illnesses. so that puts people at a higher risk of having complications from the, from call it,

but also in addition to that, that the and vaccinated rate also makes it grow the dead rate exponentially so multifactorial. but of course, now looking at the gap of the vaccination between the us and canada and europe, the u. s. is one of the lowest back soon rate among dental among developed countries. and because of all the underlying conditions and the poor health care system, the numbers are worse, and they're probably going to be in the next few months, even worse than we expected. one of the most remote regions on the planet is proving to be a refuge against climate change. for huge numbers of penguins, researchers say the number of adderly penguins in antarctica, where they'll see, has remained stable during the past decade. fucking the world wide trend authority, a gate and b has more ah, the little scene and talked to her is an icy wilderness home to the penguin and many other marines. species. scientists from stony brook university in new york

have traveled to this remote area on a greenpeace expedition ship. the here to counter deli penguins, to understand how they and other marine species are coping with climate change. parenting, poland was crucial because penguins are an excellent indicator species of the marine environment. they're much easier to monitor it than most marine species are because they nest on land and they're big, they're easy to spot. and so we count penguins to get a sense of how the marine ecosystem is doing. designed to say they count every group of penguins by hand 3 times over to ensure is only a 5 percent margin of error. where colonies are inaccessible, roads are used to take ariel, so they the results show penguin numbers have remained stable in this area. in the last decade, scientists say it's evidence the weddell sea is a refuge against climate change across the western side of the weddell sea,

at all the deli penguin colonies that we visited, we've seen some pretty good evidence for stability in these populations. our score exciting on the other side of the antarctic peninsula and all the penguin populations have really declined. so seeing, at least that's ability for now, means that seems at least the climate change is, is moving a little more slowly in the vital c for, for these pieces, at least in 2018 the you propose making the weddell sea a no go zone for industrial fishing, mining and deep sea drilling bought the initiative was blocked by russia and china . greenpeace says the results of this, so they bolsters the case for creating a huge marine protected area. government have for the last 10 years, been talking about creating a marine protected area here in the well, see, this is just get more. that's why that is so critical to protect places that are still really healthy habitats for amazing, wildlife like penguins. it's just another reason why government should be acting

now to protect the weddell sea, while they still can be all this new found knowledge will be studied and compiled, wants the expedition wraps up. research is hope it can be used to protect these unique waters and the wildlife which lives in them. victoria gay to be algae 0, lou. and now the top stories on al jazeera, the military stand off over ukraine, is escalating with the u. s. deploying 3000 more american troops to europe in response to the build up of russian troops on ukraine's border. 2000 you, a soldiers will had to poland and germany, and 1000 will be re positioned to romania. the pentagon says the move sans a strong signal to russia, which continues to deny that its planning and invasion, rushes denounced to move as the struct if more than a $100000.00 russian tro.
