residency as warranty could be the 1st city to be invaded if moscow attacks shall strap it without the reli. thousands of people turned up today and car can ukraine's 2nd city in shore. what they say is unity against russian aggression and russian expansionism. bird boy and good core q is only around an hour drive from the roster boda and beyond that border. of course there are reports of tens of thousands of russian troops. the people here today represent various different political policies. an activist group is quite a high percentage of would also describe this nationally scripture for the mission to use the same. and it is the city of car cave and the people that live here are prepared for the worst. and they will defend clark if, until the last, in a game of a full scale, you know, asian, we would be on a front line here. so yeah,

and say in such a support, seeing a number of people or would it be ready to for you to order a resistant anyway, it's important to do like to uplift my all the spirit is all a right for us on the coach with blue silk what's the spook? i don't believe clear for me. the good russian is a bad russian. let them come. i'm looking forward to seeing them. i know what i will be doing. i was taught to do that and i've done it in 2014 and i'll be doing that very well. let them come, but we're waiting for them. what is bad for them is good for us. yes, that's a very interesting things being said on the stage behind me, a man a few minutes ago saying that if the people here wanted peace, then they should be prepared for war and saying that if they needed ammunition, there were places where it could be found was, let's not forget that the situation here is hugely complex. vladimir putin has said

time and time again that russia has no intention of invading ukraine. and there are a lot of people in this area who do express loyalty to was russia. they see russian language and russian culture as being huge significance. but one thing is, for sure, certainly at this rally to day a unified voice. let's bring in harlan oman, a military express in senior advisor at the atlantic council. it was a former advise, it's the u. s defense department and joins us now from washington dc. thank you for your time. i want to get your take the u. s. troops being deployed to romania and poland is, is this for the us part of postering show of strength, or is this the u. s. really preparing for conflict. this is very much a show of force for our allies. i don't think that let a mere putin and his generals are impressed. you're only $3000.00 troops on route, $8500.00 that would go to the nato response force. and there are probably 82130000

russians near the ukranian border. so this is really to short or allies. it's not that much of an impact in moscow. my trip, sir, do you think it will impact this sort of 10 situation already on the ground? oh, perhaps not. i don't think who is going to use military force. he be crazy to do that . people don't know, but this exercise was scheduled and on the 20th and several of 2020th of february. so we'll see what happens. you gotta realize geography counts. there are only 4 countries that directly border on russia, norway, to the baltic countries. and believe it or not, the united states in the barren sea in the arctic. and so geography is very much on the side of, of nato in this particular case. and don't forget, put in is after a new strategic framework in europe that protects russia. and he also wants to prevent further nato expansion. and so those are going to be his long term goals. and my guess is that he will use force symbolically to persist in negotiations. and

if he stands down at the end of february, as he said he would then he's going to have all sorts of diplomatic leverage because he's going to say to the west, you just cried wolf see. now let's talk. now whether the west is prepared for this or not remains to be seen, but so far potent has the initiative in the west is not doing enough in my mind to take that initiative away from him. you don't be on the analyst to anything. russian president comes in, does not want conflict. so why do you think that's the case? because it makes no sense to him. prudent look. he understands what happened in afghanistan to 2 superpowers and to the americans in iraq occupying ukraine would take hundreds of thousands of forces. so what is he going to do? he marches he have a, how does he get out? now? maybe he could want to have a border opening to crimea, which some people have argued, but then he still stuck there. and what he's going to do is to ensure that nato,

this time is really serious. so as far as i'm concerned, it makes much more sense for him to use these forces symbolically and diplomatically. and then at the end of the day, he probably is going to be game something in terms of negotiations. of course, i could be wrong in common sense terms. he's got all these forces. why does use them? well, there were millions or soviet forces on the war of nato and under the thousands of nato forces on the border of the soviet union. we didn't go to war, so i think war is probably very unlikely in this particular crisis. and certainly one hopes up knows how has been closed in the past by the french presidents. no less of the coming rain dead. dis, what's happening there on the cranium? born a does this, does this bolster the alliance day thing? well, sometimes french presidents order, be careful what they say. charles de gaulle took a france out of the military alliance of nato. president micra wants to for his own image for his election. sometimes he says,

things that he's going to regret later. make no mistake. this has bolstered nato enormously far more than 2014 and put knows that. and he's going to try to use that to us who vantage se, okay, if i stepped out, let's have some serious negotiations. we'll see whether or not that works. all right, thank you very much for your analysis. they're holla, almon, a military expert and senior advisor at the atlantic council. heads of state, amazing, and ethiopia, and a 2 day african union summit as the continent faces a wave of military coups, civil conflicts, and the pandemic. the 55 men, the block has been warned that several regions are facing serious threats to peace and security. the union is also under pressure to push for a cease fire in its host country, ethiopia. thousands have died. you to was conflict for the take on people's liberation front. our commitment to put st. lusting in global peace in our country, shall remain. the steadfast. excellence is less than gentlemen the

greatest live, and that is your behalf limit or the past you is up with those. the thought of that if you are african brothers and sisters out existence or the mission would have been at great risk i would at o is an artist, have about with more these concerns about the number of coups these continent has had for the past. wanted to have years 6 of them in total full them in west africa, which is traditionally been known as the cool belt of africans than they are the ease the shortfalls on covered vaccinations in the continent. only 11 percent of the continents of people have been fully vaccinated, sofa on the e's real need for a push on that. and now joining me to discuss all these a father is a former prime minister of the republic of kenya, rayleigh, or dingo, who is also

a high representative on infrastructure for the african union studying. are you seeing a resurgence of cruise in africa? there seems to be a disconnect between the lead us and the people. what in your opinion is causing this resurgence of a cruise when people were thinking that africa was finally on the road to democracy . well, it is actually a very regrettable development. the continent that did democratization process, that is, it started out in the early ninety's, is a revulsion in some parts of a continent. a judge begin being, begin to see generals on the streets are taking over the government. i think it is a face. it says to do either the luck tones of

unlimited leadership to actually deliver to the people. and secondly, i also showed you the constitution's aah to extend their their town and also the way which election silva held the rigging of elections themselves. and under the that these, the leaders no, not a willing to to, to perform according to the requirements of the people. i think this is vocal. what is uh, bring back. these are new to crews and there's also a real challenge with their covered 19 vaccinations in africa. only 11 percent. only 2 countries have minutes to vaccinate a 70 percent of their people and that's say shells and malicious were, you know, have got very tiny populations. what is an, i mean, is there a remedy for this and you do you think africa could be able to em intensify its

physician process? certainly is. i think her, this is an area where the has to be a bit of compulsion that the government has really to come out a full amount of ford and just a good supposed people to go on goods with snitches cuz it is for them for their protection for example, i so, and king of the government saying that if you don't have vaccination, you are not going to a good government services, but simple. some people sing those other constitutional and son. but i think if visit being done in order to save life until the people that the government is intended to took all the measures necessary to ensure that people get vaccinated. still ahead on al jazeera, around welcomed and announcement by the us to waive sanctions on its civilian nuclear program. it says more needs to be done. parents in honduras,

struggle with an education system driven far into decay. ah hello there. now that that fierce winter storm has swept further east away from eastern areas of north america. it's a much quiet picture that we're seeing over the next few days. we still got that much of snow working its way towards the east of canada, bringing some heavier force to places like on terror and quebec in the days to come . we've also got a weather system pulling into western areas of canada. so some heavier snow for the inland, for british columbia and rain, tickling along that coast. but for the south, this is a much finer. enjoy a picture that we are seeing temperatures down in some places to below freezing has

that arctic cold mass settles in, but by the time we get into monday, there will be a significant improvement, particularly across the central areas and that east coast. if we have a look at the 3 day for washington dc, we're going to dip right down to 6 degrees by tuesday, but the warmth will come back in by wednesday. now it's a much dry, a picture up here. it isn't. however, for florida, we have gone some significant rain here. we could see some flooding. and it's a similar story for southern areas of mexico with rain for belize and guatemala, as well as on doris. and we're seeing a few showers pull into santa domingo. ah, americans are increasingly saying authoritarianism might not be so bad. there were several steps along the way where the chain of command it's you like tried to cover what's your take on why they've gotten so wrong? that to me as the political now the bottom line on us politics and policies and the

impact on the world on al jazeera from the preventative. correct. so the battle fields around most of our job is to get to the truth and empower people through knowledge. lou ah ah, you're watching alger zara. her reminder about top stories. this all. senior members of the u. s. military have arrived in poland. is nato both does its east and flag can response to roches military build up on the ukrainian border. in total president joe abided. it's deploying nearly $3000.00 extra american troops to poland and romania. meanwhile,

thousands of ukrainians have marched through the north eastern city of ca, cave. as tension remains high with russia, ukrainian president, watermelon sky has warned. it could be the 1st city to be invaded if moscow attacks heads of state, a meeting in ethiopia had the african union so much with the recent wave of military coups, a civil conflict. and the current of ours pandemic topping the agenda. a 5 year old who was trapped in a well and morocco since tuesday has died, rocco's king announced tray and did not survive the 5 day ordeal. rescue was dug out. part of a hillside to be able to reach the boy how shame alberta has been following the story. the worst this concerns us since 2 days ago. because there was always a question about whether the free body of rain would be able to cope with the hot conditions in a well, where they were always concerned about the oxygen level. whether he would be able to respond. and there was who was not,

he was really showing in his science that were encouraging or the earlier on on thursday the, the 1st images of him was showing a young who was responsive of the hash tag, save ryan, which was which went viral in the out of world until just about a half an hour ago. i so 1st reactions from the other world families blue to t. v stations watching the events unfolding saw the defining moment when ryan's father and mother came to the shaft. before having a look over a child, they were happy and suddenly they said, you know what, this positive news coming out from the arab world, ryan could be saved and then minutes later it was the shocking tragedy that i couldn't make it. i've been covering news in this part of the world for almost 25 years. i've never seen a story of a single innocent boy galvanizing the out of well the same with

a story of i and did since since yesterday or the day before. every single family in the arab world, katara saudi arabia, united arab emirates, egypt, algeria, morocco, tin easier. the whole story was about a year and whether i will be able to survive this ordeal. fortunately, ion is normally around, so the u. s. decision to restore sanction wave is on to ron, isn't enough. and washington must provide guarantees in order to revive the 2015 nuclear washington reimpose. the wave is on friday as talks on saving the agreement, enter the final stretch in vienna. around 5 minutes to ron needs more assurances, the data americans must show their goodwill in action. and our view, this means tangible things happening on the ground. lifting part of the sanctions in a real and objective manner could be interpreted as the good will the americans talk

about or so 3rd are has the reaction from the iranian capital? turan is quite significant because this is maybe the 1st time doing the by the institution that practical action is being taken. iranian had some conditions to take forward the talks and they were asked in the immediate removal of the sanctions and all the sanctions regarding the, the nuclear nuclear file. and they were asking for the, what is the cations and the guarantees, by what if occasion. they are seen that not only on the paper, but you run needs to see the practical actions taken by. do you see that the functions are removed and also be, are asking for the guarantees that in case of any nuclear deal, this is going to go beyond by the m ration and is going to be binding for the next president of the u. s. a. however, the u. s, it says that it is almost impossible regarding the american political system. but

when it comes to the what if occasions they say that they can give some of the guarantees. so in this sense, that the partial removal of the sanctions from the u. s. a is quite a practical stat and it is welcomed in, in, in, in the usa store for that hasn't been direct was between the iranians and the americans. and the minister of iran of july and said that if the practical actions are taken down, there might be a direct talks between the 2 parties. and this a step is a kind of practical action that cool a paved away for data tours between americans and iranians. mark fitzpatrick is an associate fellow the international institute for strategic studies. he explained that the change will help iran to continue its nuclear power and nuclear medicine programs. the idea is to make sure that these programs are safe and that they will not be used for weapons purposes to do that

for and companies foreign governments need to cooperate with iran, but the u. s. sanctions prohibited that cooperation. now today, yes, state department has said government has netted those sanctions, allowing cooperation to make runs cylinder program schafer and nonproliferation his action should never have been reimpose 2 years ago to begin with. they were, they were done for political reasons by pression and topped and finally by administration is doing the right thing to remove them. i think iran correctly realize is that this is not a signal that the united states is about to left a lot of other sanctions and restore the j. c p. away. but i think some in iran do see that the united states is trying to create more of a positive atmosphere. the timing of this move is interesting. this should have

been done any time in the past year. it was done this time because the negotiations are drawing to a close and the bite and ministration is in a look into what it can to, to provide a little bit of positive momentum. i hope the ron sees that the china's president, she should ping as welcomed heads of state from 30 countries to beijing for the winter olympics. among them would lead is from central asia, the middle east and latin america. but 10 nations including the u. s. have joined in a diplomatic boycott because of human rights abuses in china's north western region, notion gen during a psy by m conference un secretary general interpreter says he asked she to allow you and human rights chief michel by chalet to visit this young region. but

but then to libertarians and people on the left and right. frankly too concerned about the precedents that mandates give for. busy civil liberties and in the future, for example, giving too much faith in the pharmaceutical companies, and then the 20 people who are simply just tired of the pandemic and the political leadership here. and also we should be, could be the opinion. polls are unequivocal. a majority of canadians do support mandates and support public health measures that are designed to prevent stress on the health care system. but they also show unprecedented disquiet with how the pandemic has been handled. both provincially and federally. russia has reported, excuse me, it's highest number of covered 19 cases in one day since the pandemic began. already say more than $177000.00 people tested positive for the virus and just 24 hours. attributing respond to the holly transmissible only convent. another 714 people have died. washes president vladimir putin says,

a complete lack of support from the government has slowed their preparations. among loraina as the honduran. i feel ashamed over the handling of the pandemic, how the education system has been deficient. and i dare to say that many teachers have been the ones who rescued education by going the extra mile teachers directors and parents have been attentive to the work that's been assigned. another major obstacle to learning is a lack of internet access. it's estimated that less than 13 percent of households in honduras have access to a computer and internet and last year, as schools remain closed due to pandemic restrictions. as many as 600000 students abandoned the education system altogether. according to statistics from the world bank, the coven 19 pandemic has said back educational efforts in honduras by almost half a decade. issue, the newly elected president of honduras seal mud castle has promised to make
