3:02 am
kimberly hockey reports. after ramping up the possibility for weeks of a rush, an evasion 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 forces will be reposition 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 putin and frankly, to the world that nato matters to the united states. it made it matters to our
3:03 am
allies and we have iron clad oracle 5 commitments an attack on one as an attack on on all the roughly $3000.00 troops will bolster the nato presence in europe and are in addition to the $8500.00 us troops put on stand by last month, by u. s. president joe biden. the united states maintains diplomacy is the best path to resolving security disagreements. russia, what's assurances nato will halt expansion into former soviet republics like ukraine. but the west won't provide that guarantee. instead, biden's promised severe consequences if who in bays he has shown no signs of being interested or willing to deescalate the attentions. the u. s. forces will reinforce nato, the eastern flag working with host countries. as nato has not yet activated its response force to counter what it refers to as russian aggression. i think there's
3:04 am
a bargain, it aspect to what they're doing, which is to put something on the table that can be taken away. a chip, if you will, in exchange for russian non aggression against ukraine, despite no, no russian threat and no signs of an eminent invasion of ukraine. the pentagon says the movement of troops could begin soon, and there could be the possibility of even more true movements in the future. kimberly helen al jazeera washington and dorsey jabari is following reaction from moscow. we've been hearing from the russian deputy foreign. i'm secretary who said that this is a destructive step. alexander goosgo has said that this is not really const conducive. and it just illustrates that the americans are trying to escalate the attention rather than trying to de escalate. we've also been hearing from an mp who
3:05 am
is the deputy head of the foreign affairs committee here in duma. and he's been saying that said this is an absolutely destructive step and that it's an action that can be qualified as an attempt to derail the negotiations. that are ongoing about russia, security concerns. there is a sense that the united states is really trying to corner russia into giving in, on their demands that they've been making from the u. s. government and nato, about the expansion of nato, as well as a, going back to the 1997 level of membership. the russian president vladimir putin said that they want to see that level of members, really because the numbers keep increasing and that is very much a security concern. the united arab emirates defense ministry says it's intercepted 3 half style drones that enter the countries as base early wednesday. officials say the drones were destroyed over unpopulated areas and armed group called i'll, we at why on hock has screened responsibility for what is described says an attack
3:06 am
on vital facilities. the group says it will continue to target the way until it sounds interfering in yemen and iraq. meanwhile, the us is sending fine to dress and a warship to the united arab emirates and respond to several attacks in the past few weeks by who the rebels in yemen. it comes after a 3rd may solid talk was intercepted on monday during a visit by israel's president. the sharp part of the saudi led coalition at war and yemen is carried out a series of deadly asked ranks in retaliation. mom and all that time has more from demons capital for now. so far we haven't heard from the host these here that they have carried out any attack and also we haven't spoken about this group or their involvement or any link to the to this group. so far, the fees this moment, i believe just still waiting for the united arab emirates to make it move to
3:07 am
answer to their terms in order to stop their tags. on the united m routes so far, the calling on the united states to stop its war involved to stop involvement in the solid quality war in yemen, and also to withdraw its forces and also to stop its financing or supporting any any. well, the way the describe any military men on the ground in yemen so far the, this new newly imagined group which has declared themselves or ignite themselves as we are allowed to do so far. and it is no relation or length to the hoses may be from iraq. was responded to some low v as, as the to the sample sires. and we, in recent days, especially a few days ago, big demonstration was held in iraq in support of,

3:09 am
blog, which of course is linked very closely to ron. so this ups the ante because the, the monday attack of who these took credit for and did the previous attacks going back a couple of weeks, the ones in which there were a victim in that attack to be killed and several wounded duties took again, we're prepared to stand up on, not on those attacks. now this attack, that would be 7 claim. i would think that from the m a radi perspective, they must be feeling a bit of a cancer because the who says that they'll hit them. now this group has an attempted to hit them and of course i think that there is a link to, to the chase to get away because talks are going on right now in vienna. and this will be a very unsettling one of the big issues for the gulf states in particular. the saudis and morality is the ballistic missile capabilities that the iranians

this camp is hosting. around 24000 people and these people have already flipped the violence in 2019 in the region. and now today they are being attacked precisely where they should be safe. but they are not. and we are saying that safety is there, right. so we are calling everyone to ensure that these innocent civilians are protected. we are calling on the government, we are putting on the international community, these violence to stop and need to stop. now, nothing justifies is kind of of violence, but this region you to read in north, east and congo has a strong increase of violence in 2017. there is a strong inter coming out there between the community of him and who am i, or herders at both, and then do the farmers and they overland. so this is the root cause of the

3:17 am
population fully vaccinated and that is a population or vaccination of people are age 12 and over. so it's a large chunk of the population that is now fully vaccinated. the whole point of the elimination strategy from the government's point of view was to try to prevent people dying to save lives and also protect the health system. and since the pandemic began with only had $53.00 deaths and new zealand. so i think most people would agree that from that standpoint, the elimination strategy has been a success. but it had to come to an end at some stage, and while on the cron did see the border reopening delayed slightly. it also came with an acknowledgment from the government that because micron is so contagious that they could not keep it out forever. and sure enough we've got community cases of, of, of the, on the crop very, and in new zealand now. and soon that's going to be potentially hitting up into thousands of cases a day. so then you would have the situation of people going into quarantine hotels

u. s. has the worst would smash you lighter, co morbid 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 unvaccinated rate also makes it grow the dead weight, 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 vaccine rate among dental among developed countries . and because of all the underlying conditions in the pool health care system, the numbers are worse and they're probably going to be in the next few months. even worse. don't you expected to think with hospitalization being rank expensive? oh, little take people to take the preventative action more seriously. but that hasn't been the case because a lot of this influence there's will using this political gain or for gaining and
