faith in their country. this enemy should be afraid of us, not us, afraid of them. another example of caves cautious attempt toning down the language of its western backers. up to president laudermill zalinski, told his us led 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 of the winks of negotiations between nato countries in russia that has be no significant outcome to those talks. the french and german lead as a heading to 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 special, his eastern ukraine. muslim jobs and picks up the story now for us from washington

. on the sunday public affair shows here in the united states. it was the white house national security advisor jake sullivan, who was arguing why people should be worried about a potential russian invasion of ukraine on his way back to the white house on sunday afternoon. u. s. president joe biden spoke briefly with reporters about the situation. ah, i'm not going to speculate on that. i think think the can not get. on monday the u. s. president will welcome to the white house, the new german chancellor alex sholtes. they're expected to talk about the risk of a russian invasion in ukraine and the potential impact that could have on germany's energy supplies. a you and report says that north korea has stolen tens of millions

of dollars of crypto currency to help finance it's nuclear and ballistic missile program. it says the pyongyang stole more than $50000000.00 through cyber attacks between 2020 and last year. a separate study indicates that as much as $400000000.00 may have been stolen. both korea conducted 9 ballistic missile tests last month. i'll just here as well. mcbride reports from sol. this does follow a pattern. we do know that said north korea has been accused now for years of being involved in all sorts of nefarious international criminal activity as a way of getting much needed foreign reserves to basically a let it survive. it has been involved, for example, has been accused of being involved in international narcotics in an illegal arm sales. but it does seem to have found a lucrative avenue in cyber crime with another reporting 2019, for example, from the un suggesting that north korea had managed to accrue $2000000000.00 worth

of digital assets in recent times. and that with the current economic, dire straits that north korea was in, it seems as though it's not going to desist from the cyber crime. because of course, it's effaced is international sanctions. the impact of 2 years of basically being cut off from the outside world or by the pandemic. it is in a very difficult to die economic straits. there are talk of food shortages in north korea and as we get into 2022 still the same. a question of how to deal with north korea, especially given this flurry of a missile launches to madison, is a tax expert, a tex, i'm a tech expert and see of social slope. he says what crypto currencies artist, hard to trace, as people think in many ways crypto currency as a criminal's dream or a rogue nation. if you want to look at it that way, because it is anonymous and you can't find it. but the very fact that it's not

backed by a government means it must be traceable. and so i'll use, for example, a us $100.00 bill like this. it's got a serial number on it. but good luck trying to understand who's used that $100.00 bill. crypto currency is actually traceable and your anonymity is dependent on you getting it right every single time. if you're anonymous for a 1000 transactions and you slip up just one time, then all the sudden, not just the transaction you slipped up on every single prior transaction is no longer anonymous. so i think it's a lot less ideal for road nations or criminal than you might think. so when you talk about these exchanges, if i have a crypto currency in an exchange and i have to log in, what do i have to use? i have to use a username and password and that is almost always the biggest point of vulnerability you. you launch a fishing attack against me. i don't really realize that i give you my credentials . i mistakenly log into what i think is my crypto currency exchange. but it's that, it, it's a server hosted by somebody malicious all the sudden they have my username and password and within minutes if not, seconds, you know, they can drain my wallet,

transfer that crypto current to somewhere else that i can't get. and again, it's not backed by a government, so it's, it's very effective once they've hacked and gotten your credentials. and i strongly suspect that that's a big, big portion of how they've managed to do the tax australia is to fully reopen its board as maybe 2 years after the government closed the country off to the rest of the world. from february 21st fully vaccinated travelers can enter the country. it means the tourists can finally return. serbia was only allowing in a number a limited number of citizens and permanent residence, making it one of the harshest border closures in the world. the philippines started to vaccinate children age between $5.11 against curve at 19. it's going ahead despite a legal challenge by 2 parents who want to stop the program officer as java. alan dorgan reports from manila. the 1st day of the vaccination of children looks like a festive affair. here in manila, it's done and

a newly renovated manila 0. there are mascot and candies for children who are afraid of injections. but for the government, the vaccination of kids within the age of $5.00 to $11.00 couldn't come soon enough . that's because the recent date of the department of health shows nearly 70 percent of coven cases. among the pediatric group, last month were from age 0 to $11.00. good night, you was up a was a lot below asking all fathers, all mothers to convince your relatives and neighbors all your acquaintances tell them to have your children vaccinated to that your children will soon have a normal life. this is extremely important. and although covert cases have been slowing down over the past few days, here in manila, the situation is different in many provinces, across the country. still for the parents are bringing their children for vaccination to day. they remain hopeful,

but this would finally be the way for the reopening of school and their return to normalcy for their children again. chinese tennis star punctuate, has denied accusing a former government official of sexual assault. allegation on social media in november was taken down half an hour after he was posted. she now says for her statement was misunderstood. tre disappeared from public view for nearly 3 weeks. after making the claim on monday, she met the head of the international olympic committee. our job is to remain in contact with her, as we've explained in the past, to carry out personal quiet diplomacy to keep in touch with her as we've done to meet in person as we've done. and now invite her to see us. so we are, as a sports organization, are doing everything to ensure that she is happy and i don't think it's for us to be able to judge in one way just as it's not for you to judge either in one way or another. her position out 0, katrina,

have been it. when it comes to international affairs, i think they very much come from the same mindset. they both believe in the transatlantic alliance, also and wash up basically the position is very clear, very similar. there should be no change orders in europe. it's not the 1st time the to have met. they spoke on the fringes of the g. 20 summit in room and october, when shoals was finance minister and virtually after he became chancellor. they'll meet face to face now with a looming international crisis. and the ok notion glances in the we are all concerned about the situation on the ukrainian border with russian troops gathered on the ukrainian border. joe biden has promised sanctions but any incursion, but there is a wadi, the russians might retaliate by cutting off gas supplies to europe. and the hardest hit will be germany, the brunt of the blow back costs from economic sanctions, whether it's financial functions, whether it is energy sanctions, whether it is suspending or $32.00 forever will be borne by the europeans and by
