aiding wall key with which were almost walked out across this region 2 decades ago . i'm a law law dot one. does he mentoring nice? i'm was die ah, on out here. ah . the 1st u. s. troops meant to reinforce nato allies arrive in poland. his russia continues to mobilize near the ukrainian border. ah, hello and welcome on pete. adobe. you're watching al jazeera, alive from doha. also coming up. overwhelmed with challenges and crises. the african union needed meeting in war torn ethiopia to discuss the continents future calls for justice congolese migrant was beat to death sparks. nationwide

demonstrations and brazil plus or convoy with a word move and do all on the other. restrictions are removed ah, senior members of the u. s. military have now arrived in poland as part of the native deployment that nearly 3000 more american troops are being sent to the region. nater says that's in response to russia's military build up on the ukranian border. harlan or month is a military expert and senior advisor at the atlantic council. he believes the u. s . reinforcements. change very little. stoughton 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 as the initiative in the west is not doing enough in my mind to take that initiative away from him occupying ukraine would take hundreds of thousands of forces. so what is he going to do? he marches t f. how does he get out? now maybe he could want to have a border opening to crimea with some people have argue, 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 gang 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 border of nato and hundreds of thousands of nato forces on the board 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 thousands of ukrainians march through the northeastern city of khaki. first, the standoff continues. khaki is just 45 kilometers from the russian border. the ukrainian president law to me as a lensky, as warned, it could be the 1st city to be invaded if moscow attacks. charles stratford was out that rally thousands of people turned up to die in car cave. ukraine's 2nd city in a showing what they say is unity against russian aggression and russian expansionism . bear in mind that car cave is only around an hour's drive from the russian border . and we own that border. of course, they're all hates of tens of thousands of russian troops. the people here today

represent various different political policies. and activist groups is quite a high percentage of would also describe this nationally scripture for the mission use the same. and it is the city of car cave and the people that live. ringback 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 the front line here. so you can see in such a support, seeing a number of people who are, who would it be ready to for you to order a resistant. anyway, it's important to do like to uplift my own spirit is all here is a very not scan. it's not too right for us on the cultural, so still go, absolutely. i don't believe pull it up 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 are 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 head for war and saying that if they needed ammunition, there were places where it could be found was little for yet though, the situation here is hugely complex. let me put in the same 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 towards 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 had some states, a meeting in ethiopia for the final day of the african union. summers as the continent faces a wave of military coups civil conflicts, and of course, the pandemic. they have been 6 clues on the continent in the last 18 months,

4 of them in west africa. the union is also under pressure to push for a cease fire in the host country, ethiopia. thousands of died in the conflict with the to cry. people's liberation front. our commitment to pursuing lasting and global peace in our country shall remain. steadfast excellence is less and gentlemen the greatest live and that it europe has learned or the past year. is that without the fidelity of our african brothers and sisters, our existence or the nation would have been at great risk mohammed, those in addis ababa with more. these concerns about the number of coups these continent has had before the past at wanted to have years 6 of them in total for them in west africa, which has traditionally been known as the cool belt of african than they are the eas, the shortfalls on covered vaccinations in the continent,

only 11 percent of the continents of people have been fully vaccinated so far and the ease a real need for a push on that. and now joining me to discuss all these are the father is a former prime minister of the republic of kenya, rayleigh, or dean gal who is also a high representative on infrastructure for the african union. studying. are you seeing a resurgence of coups in africa and they as seems to be a disconnect between the lead us and the people. what in your opinion is causing this resurgence of a coups when people are thinking that africa was finally on the road to democracy. well, it is an ugly aversion, regrettable development, the continent that to did democratization processes that are used as ducted or in the early ninety's is a russian, some parts of

a continent. a judge begin being, begin to see generals on the streets. i took over the government, i think it is a face. it says to do either the luck tones of, of the limited leadership to actually deliver to the people. and secondly, also shows you the constitutions ah, to extend their, their town. and also the way which elections themselves are held the rigging of elections themselves. or staying with that story arrest as j. wynja is the former vice chair of the african union commission. he explains not why there's been a surgeon coups in recent months. one can be able to see that the link between these rollback and what is happening, particularly in west africa. if you look at the 4 countries that i've experienced

military geologist, molly, in me, in the fossil and now this. so there is also a link to what has happened, extend and particularly in india with that you know, with the removal gadhafi. you are anadia in which are in santa moved in particularly i like i done last year. i says, and, and these are also continue to move so towards the of the stimulus that region. and because of that the military particularly to which is being put like the k. so look in the 1st asked to confront these are onslaught the, the, the, the, the don't have enough equipment that they don't have enough support. but just to go support to be able to push back this in seconds. so that is one of the 2nd aspect

of course, is that the population at large is a disenchanted and you know government governor's that's not delivered particularly of economy in the area of government in the market. us. and the sort a minute that i've seen, ah, a man well now for them to come in and and, and try to go with their population. moving on, the chinese president, she ging ping has welcomed heads of state from 30 countries to pinching for the winter olympics. among them were leaders from central asia, the middle east, and latin america. however, 10 nations including the u. s. of joined a diplomatic boy called because of human rights abuses in china's north western region of and john, during a sideline conference, the un secretary general attorney good terrorist said he asked mister she to allow you and human rights chief michelle bachelor, 2 visits in john. but a readout of the meeting from china state news agency made no mention of the issue

. and to say at least 1000000 people mostly unless than we are imprisoned in so called regal cation cams, jersey as president, is to dissolve the supreme judicial council after withdrawing some of its members privileges. president case said says the counsel is outdated. he has severely criticized judges recently. critic say he's targeting the judiciary in a bit to consolidate power over all institutions. engineers here he dismissed the government and suspended parliament last july. thousands of demonstrators across brazil. it amounting justice records refugee who was beaten to death, the killing of my seat cover, gummy, a shot the nation. he was killed in a beach site kiosk in rio de janeiro, in an apparent disputes over unpaid wages. the police released footage of him being attacked by 3 men to 30 minutes. he fled the war in the democratic republic of

congo in 2011. this is doug, but as the brazilian stacy is racist, it is a nazi state. it is a homophobic and xenophobic state and it has to stop, but it to be a he protesting in solidarity with all the families who have suffered these barbaric crimes. they have been suffering thomas about us as a brazilian research and political analyst. he says the killing shows her racism is deeply entrenched in brazil. brazil has a systemic problem with racism. racism is a reality. in brazil, black brazilians are forced to haul. ah, the proof are among the purest groups in the country. no doubt, this is a heritage from slavery that up to day we were not able to deal with. they are also the largest group, become victim of violence in brazil nowadays. and while they are decomposed, the largest part of people in prisons in brazil,

what we see is that the violence against black brazil as device targeting black brazilians is frequently goes frequently and punish brazil has had a difficulty in dealing with this after the end of slavery, no affirmative action was taken to incorporate black leap black people in the brazilian economy. so up to date, we see this in a galaxies to continue to perpetuate. it's been a 132 years since at the end of slavery. and we do not see lots of changes in the last 30 years. 20 years. we had had some experiences of affirmative action that started very slowly to change the reality of the country. but still, we have a lot of work to do still to come here on al jazeera, the rescue effort, the scripts, morocco, to say, for 5 year old boy has ended in tragedy. and another racism controversy involving

with us pulled costa jo rocha ah hello there. now that that fierce winter storm has swept further east away from east in 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 putting into western areas of canada, so some heavy 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 wound will come back in by wednesday. not so much why 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 was seeing if you showers pull into santa domingo. ah, counting the cost of sanctions again and the claims stand off thought, well, they've really bite your energy supplies of the cross. his fill. the gap had to vote. trade organization supports china against the you. with aging winning counting the cost on al jazeera,

a diverse range of stories from across the globe from the perspective of and networks journalists on al jazeera. oh, a 316 gmc, you're watching al jazeera alive from. my name's peter adobe. your top stories, top members of the us military have now arrived in poland in europe as part of a native deployment. nearly 3000 more us troops have been sent to that region. nater says it's in response to russia's military build up on the border with ukraine, heads of state and meeting in the african union summit there with the recent wave

of military coups, the conflict integral. i am the corona virus pandemic topping the agenda of demonstrations across brazil, demanding justice recommendations. refugee who was beaten to death. maurice montgomery was killed in a beach site kiosk and ria, in an apparent disuse of unpaid wages. hundreds of protests as have been rallying in the us city of minneapolis after a 22 year old black man was killed by the police. i mean, a lock was shot dead in his apartment on wednesday, after officers used a no knock search warrant footage shows police entering without warning while he was asleep before he reached for a firearm. johnny now was travel. lindsey, she's a historian of african american culture. she joins us from columbus, ohio travel. lindsey welcome to al jazeera, given the immediate history of the relationship between people of color and the police, only in minneapolis over the past 4 to 3 years. is it

a surprise that this no knock policy was still in place? thank you for having me and thank you for having this conversation. unfortunately, no, it is quite on surprising that this occurred a jan were talking about a city that claimed the lives of linda castillo, there claim lots of dante right, george floyd, and now a mir. and even though this policy was supposed to have been changed in the wake of multiple cases across the country. but most notably, when we think about the killing of brianna taylor and louisville kentucky, that this is something that was supposed to be shipped it, that these know not words know, are disproportionately violent for black people and people of color. and so to see it still enacted in the way that it is to see the mayor, the city, the police department tried to

a dade that they are. a real issue in this conversation is just infuriating. and that's why we're seen as protest. minneapolis is very familiar with what is happening and they are fed up as our people throughout the country are fed up with this. and what we're seeing is, and continuation of the uprising that letter over 40 percent of voters in minneapolis saying we need to abolish the police department as exist in minneapolis and form something else to actually actually enact public safety. this is such a massive issue. treva, i mean part of the problem clearly is systemic, inasmuch as there are tens of thousands of individual police forces up and down side to side across the united states. but when it comes to drilling down into that systemic issue, i'm intrigued to know why somebody someplace consistently takes the wrong decision

or the implement the wrong manifestation of the decision. when they're in a situation where they have to send police officers round to deal with a potential suspect, but nobody at any point says they're a sensitivities surrounding this. be aware of that, that is not a difficult concept to grasp, surely is not difficult. and yet, here we are, we have to understand the history of policing in the united states. we have to understand its relationship to race and what specifically to anti black racism. if we understand the roots of policing in this country being about recapturing, fugitive enslaved people, that we understand it as protecting businesses, and particularly the property of white men protecting those who are employing but not laborers. if we understand those routes, and we understand the criminalizing impulses that lay in wait behind police forces,

then we understand what is happening in this moment, the closing of ranks around police officers and not around those who are gone down, not around the families and loved ones a communities who are most vulnerable to these forms of violence. we see a disproportionate amount of police violence against black people. we see a disproportionate number of people of color who are incarcerated. we see such disparities when it comes to what happens to one perpetrator who's white and what happens to another perpetrator who are alleged perpetrator, who is black. we see those disparities there in the system. and so there's no way to just say, let's reform this system, which is why you get calls where be fun, which is why you get calls for abolish. because at the core, what we see is something that is death dealing and rotten trailer, well we have it here. i just want to play you the apology from the podcast to joe

rogan to stay with us. after footage emerged of him repeatedly using the n word, do hope that this can be a teachable moment. for anybody that doesn't realize how offensive that word can be come out of a white person's mouth in context or out of context. my sincere and humble apologies. i wish there was more that i could say, but all of this is just me talking from the bottom my heart. it makes me sick watching that video. but hopefully at least some of you will accept this and understand where i'm coming from. so you know, it's not an apology. is that an i'm sorry, or is that an i'm sorry, i got caught it is absolutely, and i'm sorry i got caught and i'm not even sure. it's really a full throated. i'm sorry, at best. it is

a attempt to maintain the status that he had, and quite frankly, we know that powerful white men and this as we have a pattern of falling upwards. so even when they've done something harmful, when they've done something worthy of being admonished for, if they just say, you know what, i didn't mean it in or out of content. and let's be clear here. there's no context in which he has the right to ever use that word, but there's other content that he had that is raises. the fact that we drill down on the inward is the only part of his existence. and the only part of what he's done is races if that mentioning the planet with a conversation where he was comparing black people to animals. that's not what's being talked about in this moment. or being talked about in that lack of apology. apology fee is only saying what to keep him in business, and that is something that we do not accept. and by we, i mean go the bus who are directly impacted by the use of that word. and for those

who dismiss the humanise or attempted to humanize black people 3, but we have to leave it there. good to talk to you at this difficult time in race relations again in the united states. we've had this conversation for so many years now, but i guess this conversation will carry on going 3, but thank you. thank you. thank you. the police in canada bowing to crack down on what they call the increasingly dangerous protest against corona virus restrictions, hundreds of truck drivers and their supporters of gathered around the parliament in ottawa, she had for tansy, is that i organizes had builds the 2nd weekend of the blockade around the canadian parliament as a family day. it's clear, there is an awareness of a negative headlines of last weekend when protest is were accused of attacking those wearing masks and displaying races. symbols. the blockade began as a protest about cross border trucking vaccine mandates. even though 90 percent of

cross border truck is of accidental and the u. s. in san vaccination too. but clearly it's now about pandemic policy in general. where fed up with these restrictions is 2 years. everyone locked down, get a few, you know what you mean. and those you joined, the protests on saturday also raised a range of issues. the protest organizes who are from the extreme right wing of canadian politics are demanding the overthrow of the government. but they were also anti axes, religious fundamentalists, and those raising topics of concern to both the right and left, like the power of pharmaceutical companies, or the civil liberties implications of mandates. and then there were those who simply had enough of the pan demik. everything has been locked down in person lockdown again, spending like days and weeks in my bedroom, and then going all the way back to school and still feeling isolated. the polls do show a majority of canadians all fed up with the handling of the pandemic by both federal

and provincial authorities. but they also show overwhelming support for mandates and public health measures designed to ease the strain on the health care system. and that makes the organizes ultimatum that they won't budge unless all mandates are removed, challenging. it is difficult to see how this we've covered process to kind of do the parts either for indigenous rights or again, my apologies the prox, swiftly. but these trucks are all going to be moved so easily. she ever nazi al jazeera, also, russia has reported its highest number of cubic 19 cases. in one day since the pandemic began, more than 177000 people tested positive in the past day. another 714 people had died. the russian president vladimir putin says no locked on his plan despite the search and rescue effort. the capture, the attention of morocco has come to
