i had this engine that was basically trading, i could a lost $30000000.00, was a terrifying experience. how artificial intelligence is raised, the stakes, and risks on the money market. markets go faster. we're opening up the possibility for an instability, for no, no use with money books on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm molly inside of this is the news ally from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes face to face the french, russian, president's mate as part of a concert, a diplomatic push to ease the crisis in ukraine. and we hear from people on

ukraine's eastern border, who want to keep strong links with russia despite frosty relation between the neighbors. at inquiry is ordered in israel up to police, accuse of using pegasus hacking spyware, to investigate public figures. and a new atlas developed by scientists in france, the u. s. gives a clearer mix picture of the world's mountain laces. i'm driven ash, with all the sports news, as synagogues football, as are, it's on home to a massive celebration off the landing the country. it's best ever africa cup of nations title ah and i welcome to the program russian troops and tanks, so on the ukrainian border. but it's a big day of diplomacy as well. leaders work to avert a possible russian invasion. i saw in moscow with the presidents of russia and

moscow have been missing one on one francis emanuel micron, said he didn't believe in miracles, but as we did all of us can you did well. i'm pleased to have an opportunity to have a deep discussion, all these issues and start to build an effective answer collectively for russia and for the rest of europe. the effect of answer is a response is allowing for avoiding a war and to build elements of trust, stability, visibility for everybody. with i understand we have a common concern about what happens in the security field in europe. the bizarre buses giving, i would like to thank france for actively participating in establishing fundamental decisions in this regard with the privacy and care of the german foreign minister has met with her ukrainian counter passed her 2nd visit in 3 weeks and the new german chancellor olive schoultz is in washington, he will hold talks with you as president joe biden, within the next hour and polish president on by

a do die has met you and nato leaders as the alliance continues its deployment of troops to poland and all the countries in eastern europe that is the process now going on within nato. also, of course, in goals. consultation with only military commanders to adjust or preston, cindy, sun portal, the alliance to refer to strengthen our returns on the defense i . if russia really wants less nato a close to the borders, they get the opposite. a spy and dosage. a bar i hear is a lie for us in moscow door. so that meeting between pearson and macro ongoing, as we speak, it's worth pointing out that it was a peer to invite my home to russia. what can we expect? do you think from this hugely important meeting? ah, well as significant as it is because of course,

the french president is the most high profile world leader to make the trip to moscow in an effort to try and de escalate the current tensions. but emanuel micron had said even before departing for moscow that not to expect any miracles. and he was spoke to the u. s. president joe biden on the phone on sunday evening saying that, don't expect russia to take any unilateral measures to deescalate tensions. and there needs to be serious discussions about russia, security concerns. the french president of course, seemingly very happy to see lottery me putting face to face of the kremlin this evening. their meeting now is going into nearly 3 hours since the 2 men went off to behind closed doors after they issued brief statements. and vladimir putin for his part also seemingly very happy and relaxed and optimistic to see his french counterpart. he said that the 2 men haven't seen each other since the summer of 2019, and he was very happy to have this face to face meeting to address rushes,

security concerns in more detail. there is seemingly much admiration on the parts of these 2 leaders for each other, and the 2 men are still meeting and discussing the finer points. one of the main issues at the french president said that he wants to discuss is russia's understanding of nato's role as well as the you when it comes to the security of europe as a whole. and i think the statement we heard from the french president at that table at the kremlin, it reiterates that, that they are, they want to find a solution as a whole, a collective, a solution for all of europe and not. it's not just about ukraine, the russian president to oh, so saying that's a he's looking forward to discussing more details about the proposals that they given to nato on washington, which the russians feel to this point have been really ignored. even if the u. s. has responded with a written response earlier this month, but the russians feel that their security concerns are,

are ignore. then i think it's very much now up to the french president to reassure vladimir putin that their security concerns are legitimate and they are going to be hurt by the rest of europe. thank you for that. doesn't jibari that for us in moscow. let's turn now to our white house correspondent kennedy halted his life for us in washington, dc and all eyes on the upcoming meeting between the german charles that will have sholtes, who's been on the fire, not just at home, but abroad for not showing enough leadership in the ukraine crisis, what can we expect from that meeting with you as president biden? well, we can expect that there will be an effort by the, by the white house, but specifically by the u. s. president joe biden, to press the german chancellor to provide assurances with regard to the main sticking point in this relationship. and namely, that is nord stream to the united states has said definitively that if russia does

invade ukraine, that, that gas pipeline that runs from russia into europe, that it would currently it's not running, but that it would not be turned on. and that is not an insurance that germany has provided. in fact, it relies heavily on russian nash natural gas. and as a result the united states has not been specific about how it can say that definitively. and that is one of the questions that not only is likely to be asked by reporters when the 2 men sit down for their bilateral meeting set to happen this hour, but also their joint press conference that will take place around the 20 g hour as well. so we're watching carefully for that, but you're right. the juror chancellor has been heavily criticized abroad. but also here in the united states, particularly in capitol hill by both republicans and democrats, who are not only frustrated with regard to the position on the north stream to gas

pipeline, but also germany's refusal to send lethal weapons to ukraine. refusal to really increase those troops numbers and also to say which sanction, specifically, it would back if russia were to invade. so there is this accusation that germany has been missing in action that it is not doing enough to support nato allies in the nato alliance. so all of this is something that is likely to be discussed, even as the united states is looking for that assurance with regard to the gas pipeline and also exploring all alternate to an energy sources or alternative energy sources. a because the concern being that if russia is to sort of use that as leverage, that there is going to need to be alternative gas supplies to europe. particularly given the fact that it's winter time right now and would be very cold. so we're

watching very carefully to see what will be said. this is set to begin any time this meeting in the oval office where these 2 leaders are set to sit down and what they say. what we're hearing is that this meeting is going to be about projecting unity, even as there are these main friction points. ok for now. thank you for that. can be home cut that for us at the white house. well, we can get more on the piercing mach home meeting less speak to junk away along. he's a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. he joins us on skype from st. mahler and france. thank you for your time. it's interesting isn't it, that it's person that invited my home to russia. they've also had a number of telephone conversations beforehand. i want to do you find that significant? does michael have a diplomatic edge with russia that the u. k. and the u. s. don't they seems to have a day seems drove it because ease actually at the moment the president of a european union and my call as

a so always shown concern for a russian fears about the old security. you consider the as is it an empathy father? russian situation is that the nato and a west have treated russia fanny badly in the past for throwing a default of the waters and a dismounting alpha, the usaa. he understands a de concerns and us one thing that to put in an ridge a prior to, to their meeting. and the thing or so, which is important, is that my call as when i shall bring you up in the game europe. i've been company side line in the previous weeks, and it seemed that the question of ukraine was discuss purity between the u. s. and her and russia. but now, thanks to the blood to get action or for my coin, others a european commission and as well as a do deal the allies my call as really consulted

a lot of people is not going there alone is going to as representatives or european union or being that there is something to be gain and that discussion with managed to defuse the escalating dentures with what was like home compared to our fat heathen having got some sort of compromise package in hand. we can says busy to main boys after he would like to be because he understands that her rash eyes afraid of d. a dr. ukraine it would want to joiner natal and his trying to get something were promised that maybe create a moratorium. i don't think you can ever fit in the zation of ukraine, but i try to her, come with the solution on that, saying that maybe there is a way our net ukraine will not join nato for the foreseeable future. that's

a very difficult to negotiate. the other issue is to, he has tried to revive davinsky process, which allows, which was discussed between germany or france and russia and ukraine. and this process can have guaranteed a special status for the dumbass area where the russians are, which of the russians are occupied now. so i think that there may be some advance there on the status of a dumbass and or so which would facilitate dirt move, offer people between ukraine and don barza regions, something like that. so that's her to figured the 2 important boys and which day was there will be something to work and obviously the thing we'd have to we agree by the ukrainians and us why my call will be going to morrow or to check

to discuss with the president so a d shoe of dumbass, the concert that russia feared that he could be attacked on dumbass some kind of status school is a special status. that's something to be negotiated with or to partners involved can. can i ask, do you think diplomacy? and we've seen a lot of diplomacy today in the next few days. can it really take place as at the same time as when us troops arriving in poland, other troops and elsewhere in europe, positioning themselves? doesn't it all sort of send the wrong signal for diplomacy? that i think the start of the, of the old game that you have to show that your strongest, had put in, started by messing over 100000 troops around around ukraine and obviously the west at to respond. and we can see that the response from our guys been very strong and

from the european union. so as been very strong. and it shows it is important to show that they won't back down. and i think that it's quite clear that which is very difficult to understand a game that patina is playing. but it's quite clear that her an attack on ukraine would be a disaster for russia and for many other countries. but property, russia would be the main victim because before the american forces would probably ad press if you would be after military disaster and her so an economy can financial disaster. so i don't think it's in the chest to pretend to attract ukraine. there's no point in doing so, but at the same done to west was to show that he's strong and debbie and in transitions of the america you can see or so the attitude of america, or because there's another guy being played, is the western world against russia. at the same time, does the idea of china be and, and to show that if the west, as decided to defend

a country, they would stand bite and as her. so a message was which is being sent to china like, well, i'm really interesting to get your thoughts senior research fellow, the global policy institute. thank went to moorehead allney's out, including the latest from madagascar where a spy clone has devastated the highland nations eastern coast. and find out why hong kong 0 cove at 900 stress, she's facing a big test. and what the authorities of doing about adams ought action from a thrilling man's down hill events at the beijing winter olympics. details with jemma. ah, israel's police chief has asked for an independent inquiry off to reports that investigators use the controversial pegasus spyware to target citizens. colby shove

tie, says the investigation is needed to restore the public's trust. it's often israeli newspaper report of police track several prominent figures using the hacking software. the pegasus program has been used to spawn human rights activists, journalists, and politicians all around the world. hurry force, it has the latest from west jerusalem. the initial response from the police last month had been that there had been occasional use of this kind of technology with court warrants with judges being involved well, according to this report, which is not being referred for an independent inquiry by police so gone. others initial denials, they've been using it for fishing expeditions with an s and with a p h. they just been going up without any active investigation just to see what they can find. and so this is being seen as a real abuse of power and of individual privacy. and the interior minister has

called it an earthquake reminiscent is true of the sorts of oppressive actions of oppressive regimes in the 20th century. already the form of communications ministry directors, lemme filbert who turn state's witness against nothing. yahoo, he was due to be giving evidence next week. his name had already come up last week and there was a question as to whether he could therefore be giving evidence and whether that should be delayed. now there are other figures including one of the benjamin netanyahu sons, abner, that his phone was allegedly targeted in this way, potentially because they were looking for communications from his mother, benjamin netanyahu wife, sorry, and then the potential impact of her communications on this. and so we have this really mind bending kind of irony here, that benjamin who had been kind of using the n s o software as part of his bid to improve relationships with a lot of regimes, a lot of governments in the region. now there's a potential that the police were using it against netanyahu,

released his close associates in their investigation. the police were saying that they were divisions between those using between the investigation into him and, and it's use elsewhere. but that is something that has to be really investigated. and so could this now come to his rescue? was harry mentioned, there is a high possibility that the spyware was used against the former prime minister netanyahu. and those close to him. this was the former israeli leaders reaction, williamson hall, and be not the flu. this is a black day for the state of israel without referring to my issue, which of course has wide implications. i think this case concerns all citizens of the country. not right, not left. all citizens of the country without exception, something inconceivable has happened here. a member of the current israeli government says there could be more revelations coming in the next few days. you are, but you'll die. dumbo, lum, lum. to civil rights around the world does not interest those who are meant to

supervise this matter. here, shop and heavy. see, because the harm is not only abroad, some also turned a blind eye to this activity abroad. must now deal with it here against israeli public figures. this is really actress. she is really demonstrative names and will probably find out more legal as being to get in levy is columnists and the rats newspaper joins us. i skype from tel aviv. thank you for your time. so more revelations, coming out about how israeli police allegedly used this pegasus by where, how damning and these latest allegations we are just in the middle of those play can plug it is in those quakes. you don't know the damage and to your desk when he's over. so right now we are really ever, he's covered with dust. we know know, arrange of how many people a where detected and above or we don't know who knew and who

gave us and who approved this they operations. now a, nobody should thinking there's a surprise when a country like israel selves those systems, those devices to the was regimes in the world where the country like israel holds 5000000 people in the west bank and gaza, either very, very straight and targeting. so it's kind of stay there, we always say what ever is it he's doing so. busy there could be sure we'll get back into his room and we'll slowly but surely damage this. so these are in the book are see, and this, what we are witnessing now, are you surprised by the range of targets that the spyware was used on? a be yes, but i wouldn't expect it. now. you see they talk

a former high senior officer from the sigurd services from the shower. they nominated him as the chief of the police. and now i'm really surprised that he tried to import from his people and devices and metals. and we're thinking from the seeking services were fighting terror into all of the mystic life in this what happened and a. busy yes, it is surprising. pay by, by deals, identity of the people, you know, prime minister son or the general manager of the justice ministry. we have, i mean, those things you hear from the most doc regimes, not from the country. you place to be a democracy. why was the primary, former prime minister son ivan and target says and other members of his in a cycle?

do we know why nobody knows why? especially in. busy benjamin it's on the i was 2 sons. one of them is very active, politically in the service of his father. and the other one is very shy and very modest. and they follow the targets in the shy one. so you understand that you are on the surface, at least there's no logic except off really, i don't want to know, i don't want to say, but maybe black mailing someone may be just gathering information in order to use it one day. who knows? how do you think this could have an impact on the phone? the p. n. corruption trial which is currently ongoing. it's up to $10.00, at least for the short term. he might benefit total fees because this proved the canadian,

he was changed by the legal system that the legal system was ready to be brought to bring him to justice. and if this will be true, true, then benjamin and, you know, he's a condo for 16. 0 for, you know, just give you more, i'm sure you see you this one there, right? doing this and these are almost claim for room. this is a political trial and now we got a group, but some evidence is that it might be so would it be proven that they said i will be question was a not. busy a lot of those fascinating story, gideon levy column, is that they are rats newspaper. thank you for your time. the crew are you and report says north korea has stolen tens of millions of dollars of crypto currency

process and nearly 8. the processes have been killed. one and 2500 has been injured since the military take over last year. on monday, security forces. once again, you guys to disperse from the vicinity of the presidential palace where they tried to make their way, let the military know that they want power behind it. the civilian government now sit down. sovereignty council headed by the time who led the take over, says that it will not handle the power unless one elected government or a government that comes to power through a political consensus. and that is the issue here. political consent has been very hard to reach since that take over many political parties have refused to actually sit down with the military and negotiate a deal to nominate a transitional government to leave until july 2023 in the home. the un, with an incident, has been trying to end the political deadlock, but for the time being for us to continue to take to the 3, demanding the military,

hanover power. so civilian government saying that is the reason why this out the durable listen in 2018 and they will continue to process until a civilian government is in place. at least 10 people have died in monna gas. gov to cycling made landfall on saturday. as gillian wolf reports, tens of thousands of people coming to times with the trail of devastation left in its path cycling, but the rate slammed into madagascar as eastern coastline with heavy rain and wind speeds of a 165 kilometers per hour flooding roads and leaving several houses completely submerged. tens of thousands of people have been displaced. alaska, or le marino vision will em. i thought it was early morning, were still sleeping. our landlord came to tell us that water was rising. who got up to move the furniture all while the war continued tries. the house started cracking
