ah, hello there, we've had some fairly settled weather across the south of europe over the weekend. thanks. the high pressure that's being in charge with that is going to change at the start to the new. we've got these ways the wind to weather pushing down towards the se from the north. by going to see more wet and wintry weather effect that southeast corner in the days to come. but the north won't escape the winter weather. we've got another system that's going to blast iceland, bringing some heavy snow and rain pulling across the sea towards norway. we'll see more snow for scandinavia, edging into the baltics as well. and moving to western parts of russia is gonna remain bitterly cold. up in that northeast corner. so the cold and wet as well across the low countries got warnings out for brisk winds. in germany and heavier

rain in belgium was in some snow flurries effect northern areas of the u. k. but down in the south, there are some settle conditions to be found. if we look at the 3 day for london, where we're going to be touching 12 degrees, well above the average, by the time we get to choose day. now down in the south, there's that wet and winter weather sweeping across the balkans. it's going to make its way towards greece and turkey. we've got some very windy conditions across those mediterranean islands, west a weather for the south of italy, but to the west is to now have all. busy the sports news including it's been a historic them b g for new zealander winning is 1st ever gold medal. i to winter olympics. ah or continues our top story. more us troops have arrived in poland to reinforce notary allies in eastern europe, amid the russian military build up on ukraine's order. us national security advisor

jake sullivan, as war russia could take military action against ukraine any day. now. listen warnings from other u. s. officials that russia has about 70 percent of the combat force. it needs for a full scale invasion already in place. and that key of could fall in as little as 3 days. they estimate that as many as 50000 civilians could be killed or wounded, as well as around 25000 ukrainian soldiers. and $10000.00 russian troops or washington also believes a full scale invasion could drive. at least a 1000000 people from their homes. target triggering mass migration or internal displacement and moscow denies that it has any such plans. ukraine's president says that resolving the stand off through some form of diplomacy remains the most likely outcome from the taurus in eastern ukraine. charles stratford reports the u. s. military aircraft touches down in poland near the border with ukraine.

on board, a few dozen elite us troops and equipment. the initial contingent of around 1700 us soldiers ordered to head to europe. because nato countries, a russian invasion of ukraine. the appointment of elements of the 2nd airborne division are here to enhance the readiness interoperability across all domains with our polish allies, and if necessary, defend any portion of nato satellite pictures supplied by a private us company had been published, which is said to show the latest russian troop build up in bearers, ukraine's neighbor and russia's ally. the pictures are reported to show the suspected deployment of missiles near the town of yells, 20 kilometers from the bell roof ukraine border. the russian military build

up includes nuclear capable bama patrols part of moscow's huge joint exercise with batteries called operation resolve. kremlin says 11 days of war game starting on thursday. a training to hell and the check on russia's some borders. whitehouse, national security advisor said negotiations with russia is still an option. the time is running out. we believe that there is a very interesting possibility that vladimir putin will order an attack on ukraine . it could take a number of different forms. it could happen as soon as tomorrow or it could take some weeks yet. he again reiterated that the us won't negotiate with russia on the nato expansion including rain. but the russian president has some tactful friends, show of unity to china and russia. when vladimir putin was welcomed at the opening ceremonies of the beige in the winter olympics in china says it supports russia and

demanding that nato stalked, expanding into eastern europe. site won't. evasion, has implied held him. gosh, if what nato lead is worn out, i would be the heaviest sanctions yet. are imposed on russia. if you and invade ukraine, there was a different milder tone from the crating government, ukraine's foreign minister twisted. do not believe the apocalyptic predictions. different capitals have different scenarios, but ukraine is ready for any development. to day ukraine has a strong army, unprecedented international support, and ukrainians, face in their country. this enemy should be afraid of us, not us, afraid of them. another example of caves cautious attempt at toning down the language of its western backers, off the prison and laudermill zalinski told his us lead allies last week to take a breath and calm down. russia still maintains it has no intention of invading

ukraine. but of course, if it did, that would be the 2nd invasion in recent years because of his annexation of crimea in 2014 off the weeks of negotiations between nato countries in russia that has be no significant outcome to those talks. the french and german leaders, the headings who moscow and cave in the coming days. the space for negotiated settlement to this crisis is small, but it still exists. charles strafford al jazeera spittle, his eastern new grain, rather than jordan joins his live now. washington and really the, the, what we keep pairing from washington. and again again, is this reiterated message that an invasion is imminent. that's right. so we keep hearing these messages from various parts of the biden administration, including from the president himself. but they really hedge when they actually say

imminent, they are suggesting it could happen as early as monday. it could happen after the end of the b jingle lympics. it might not happen until the end of winter, early spring, because from a meteorological standpoint, it might be easier for russian troops to actually gain perches on to ukrainian soil because it a sensibly would be more solid. there's really no real sense coming from the, by the administration on whether the a potent government is actually going to invade ukraine. and if it is making that decision, then when will it happen? the u. s. president joe biden was al serra, as he returned to the white house on sunday afternoon, what he thought of vladimir putin, the russian president was planning to do. and he basically brushed off the question he also did brush off questions about whether the u. s. would be adding more us

troops to was deployments in eastern europe as a safeguard matter matter. and mr. biden told reporters that he wasn't going to speculate on that. right. and so while you have this, it continued drip, as i suppose, information from washington about russian plans and capabilities. you seem to have a different message coming from ukraine in the administration that trying to put the emphasis much more diplomacy. now, what is the nature of communication? perhaps even coordination between washington and kiev right now. well, that's a really good question. i mean, it would be understandable if everything the bite administration has been arguing about the russian threat to ukraine were quickly backed up by comments coming from a president vladimir zalinski and the foreign minister of mister cle labor. but

that has not been the case. and so certainly it'll be interesting to watch on monday, both when the new german chancellor elect schultz is at the white house. and when the e u foreign minister, yoseph burrell meets with the secretary of state antony, blinking for discussion on energy security matters in, inside europe. it'll be really interesting to seeing what comes out of those meetings and how all of them describe not just the threat to ukraine, but also what the potential spill on effects could be to the entire i. e. u if there were erosion in russian invasion of ukraine. of course, one thing that is consistently coming from the administration is they don't know whether or when such an invasion would take place. all right, thanks very much. rosalind jordan and washington. as i suppose in russia, does it invade ukraine at some point, then what happened is come on. santa maria has been looking at some of the

potential scenarios. russia and ukraine share around 2000 kilometers a border, which means all along that line, their ample opportunities, the russia to make some sort of incursion. and remember, it already has, you've got these gray areas, the separatist regions of done yet in the hands got crimea in the south. it means moscow already has a foothold in the country. and on top of that, we know there's a list, these varying levels of russian troop build ups in all these locations, none of this is new, but it is worth remembering what the map really looks like. now the center for strategic and international studies, which is a think tank a base in washington has been running a few likely scenarios and it is the existing geography which plays a big pot. for example, there is actually a river, i'm going to sort of roughly drop in here that runs all the way through ukraine. it's the dynette pro. actually it starts in russia. it gets through belarus and then at through ukraine, up to the black sea. if russia invades, than the dynette, performs a sort of natural de facto border if you like. and russia can sort of add on to the

territory where it already has the presence. all there is a southern option, and this brings crimea into play, which russia annexed back in 2014 down the south. their trips can easily move in from the south. they can come in as well from the 8th. and in doing so, it's sort of creates a little built of territory right across the bottom of ukraine from done yet. so through to that little thin sliver of lambda, which is called trans mystery, a breakaway region of moldova, doing that katzoff ukrainian access to the black sea and secures fresh water supplies for crimea. much the focus of attention between russia and ukraine has been on energy supplies and the disruption a war could cause. but his hot adul, hamid reports from shutting out a blast, it grows on a devastating impact on global food supplies. under the winter snow lies ukraine's black earth, known here as chair knows them, it's highly fertile and is what makes this country

a major player in global agriculture markets. here at agro complex a 2 hour drive from give about $18000.00 tons of corn, wheat, rice, sawyer, barley and sunflower are produced every year from which to mil service in rural q. mcwarder because we are in a state of war, we had to switch suppliers. we used to rely on russia for spare parts, fertilizer and diesel. we also faced problems because of the occupation of don bass and crimea, though if there is a full scale invasion, it will be a disaster for every one law. but we can't focus on this now, but about 70 percent of each year's harvest head to the black sea port of odessa and from there to consumers around the world. ukraine is one of the major exporters of grain in the world. actually this farm alone

exports about 70 percent of its production. so any disruption here. good to have a huge impact on global distribution and supply. last year ukraine produce about a 100000000 tons of grain. only 25 percent went to the local market. the rest made its way to asia, the middle east and africa. ukraine's wheat accounts for half of all wheat consumed in lebanon, 43 percent in libya, and 22 percent in yemen. and ukrainian barley represents nearly a 100 percent of saudi arabia's barley imports. and about 50 percent of egypt needs . some of these countries are economically battered and are ready, suffer food shortages, phrases went up due to the corona virus pandemic. now, the threat of war means that the staples may soon cost even more. the last 3 weeks,

more and more concern is that sa, mom, logistic companies, international companies, de afraid to go to ukraine in. ah, black supports because they are selling deadline death. look, the race, a literary where else waiting there war to start, and if you go there so we can lose our facilities, etc, etc. over the past 20 years, ukrainian harvest boosted the country's role as a global breadbasket. much of the focus is on energy supplies. while talk of an imminent war is already biting at the country's economy. but the threat to ukraine's grain experts could pose at great risk to global food security. hood abdul hamid al jazeera, she told me at a blast ukraine. you can use our life from london much more to lead a batch of cocaine, tainted with an unknown substance, kills 24 people in argentina plus ah,

supporters of tunisia as president take to the streets and a show of support these condemned for dissolving the supreme judicial council and later in sports, a rollercoaster day for barcelona star danny alvarez. have all the football action later on in the program. ah, at least 10 people reported dead and more than 45000 have been displaced by a tropical storm that hit madagascar cycling. but sir, i may landfall on the islands east in coastline late on saturday. it brought strong winds and heavy rains, which have blown rows of homes, knocked down trees and blocked roads. it also led to flooding in many areas. this is the 2nd cycle into stripe madagascar in the space of just 2 weeks with we are in great difficulty. the people of man and jury need help. not temporary

help, like foods that you send in one day. but we need some things that we can use in the long term, a shelter metal sheets for the houses, while with many houses have collapsed. we can't say how many people are affected because we are all affected. monetary is completely destroyed. matter where you go, everything is destroyed. so earlier i spoke to an danina rad seem a manga who is actually general of madagascar red cross. i also how people are coping with the aftermath of the cycling. it's around, the 40000 people is displaced around the 9000 holes old displaced and there's been evacuated there in around the 150 evacuation sites on li. we've been 5 district. highly affected, of course. are people are affected to psychology lee?

but the important is that there was a, a pre part in is in terms of saving life. because once the system is formed in the indian ocean, the government and all the you money that an actors have and are taking the the preventive evacuation. tell me a bit more about that because it's very important for you to have access to roads and bridges and to be able to move around the island to get support and help to people who are at these evacuation sites you mention. are you able to do that a indeed ah, the 2 data into it. but sir, i asked left the country you and her, but left her as i mentioned, many damages and infrastructure. and the big issue in terms of you either

nice, especially the accessibility or offer areas affected the from murder capital. for example, if you monetary an actor so would like to not provide support or domain or however the ministry of her but bleak work started people to undertake some emergency work starting day. despite the heavy rain, i like to put in place for example, some floating bridger air create and some deviation. because there are all you make that an ac a process or is it the most to repeat? 34 to complete, you alter to, to, to, to you, to emitted immediate response. so logistic is very challenging. gary, and i ask you, can i ask you about the areas that have been affected by this?

because site clone bites or i comes swiftly on the hills of tropical storm anna has bats or i cause an even greater level of destruction. yes, but i asked costa ah, ah, or exhaust. so the teter, the food need a big deal for all of the area, especially in the east coast. so please, this one as made, the bigger damage is ah, especially in the capitol, a banner, ender in one district in, in the east coast. but and now her 5 district is highly affected ah, in the east coast. so fortunately, the capitol is quite the fall from but said i impact them. but it's only, it's a men leader. no, a easter and solver,
