begins our coverage with this report from care for. it was the 1st visit by a french president in 24 years, emanuel mac, or in curve, after holding a 5 hour mark and meeting with russian president vladimir putin in moscow. on monday, the hood pushing so many push on our goal for coming weeks and months is to have a stabilization of the situation and to kickstart through new currency mechanisms, the lasting de escalation in this context. the cool had, in this you have shown the restraint that all parties have shown and word indeed are essential. france also pledge $1300000000.00 to have stabilize the economy. signing deals, to improve some of the infrastructure around the country. but with no sign of de escalation, yet, ukraine continues to prepare for the worst case scenario. ukrainian troops out to hold military drills around the country,

especially as this person is very sincere. as i understand in this, the young assured me, i don't know an entity in europe who would be able to put strong pressure in russia . the occupation of our country is still not happening. it seems all parties have agreed to continue talking. with that, i mean al jazeera give as not bringing another of correspondence in care of natasha butler. natasha. it has to be said a difficult diplomatic mission for the french president, but european leaders saying there, they'll continue to work to deescalate the crisis. how much room is there for optimism? well, i think from the point of view of european powers, as long as dialogue with russia continues, there is a room for optimism. and that's why we've seen such a diplomatic push over the last few days. most recently, the spanish foreign minister in kia, he's been talking to his ukranian, a counterpart on tuesday. the french, german and polish leaders met to in berlin,

where they said the, it's a european powers out were united to in the position that they goal was to work as hard as they could to deescalate, to diffuse a tensions over ukraine and devote a war in europe and now the french present, a manual micro of course, a briefed his german, i'm polish counterparts about the meeting that he had had on monday at the kremlin, with the russian president vladimir putin. i might crawl said off to that meeting that he had gained some assurances from putin or that russia would deescalate. now that doesn't seem to be the same story coming out of the kremlin where the spokesman there said that, in fact a no deal had been made. there hadn't been any promises, made o'toole but the word he said, some points of convergence. i won't. those points of convergence, although we don't know. but what we do know is we still have a situation in which both sides are very entrenched in their positions. you have

russia that continues to say that it is against nato's revolving door of policy that it wants an end to all expansion in the east. and then you also have on the other side, of course, at western powers and ukraine saying that ukraine sovereignty must be saved god in ukraine, has a right to determine its own security. and natasha understand ukrainian. and a russian political advisors are due to meet on thursday. how significant is that? a significant meeting taking place in berlin. a senior political advises from ukraine, from a russia also width of french and a german and negotiators meeting on to the so called normandy format, which is aimed at trying to revive the piece process to end the conflict in easton ukraine. it is significant because you have ukranian and russian officials in the same room talking about the crisis, trying to see if they could be of some solution. another round of these talks

actually took place 2 weeks ago, and afterwards, all the advisors came out and said that the talks have been very positive indeed. and that is why they vowed to continue. now that ukrainian president vladimir lensky has also said that he has a lot of hopes for these talks a all positive. he said, perhaps they might even lead in the future to a summit between ukraine and russia. that does seem some way off for the time being, but nevertheless they are seen as another channel of diplomacy to follow on top of that, of course, we also have in the coming days, the visit of the raw, the german chancellor. i should say olaf shut his expected in cave and then also in moscow to meet vladimir putin. lots of diplomacy going on. thank you very much for that. natasha butler lie for a sin cave. in other world news, a syrian soldier has been killed and several others. wounded in an israel airstrike, near the capital damascus. israel's military says he attack hit miss on batteries

i wouldn't say it's stagnate. all you started, big fancy going on living. you do very dabbing. this got it. i mean, i'm not going to, i know there's a lot of those students who bore the, his job status, this ra 1st. if they ended, we will also ended that's bringing pathname ital in new delhi for as part of me. so this started as a small incident but has now turned into a bigger issue about minority rights, and it's gone all the way to the court. we know it all started back to late december, early january bothering about quick female students who were barred from entering the classroom because they were wearing a headscarf. and now it's a full blown control. the sea between 2 groups, the hindus angle muslims are across the state, off, they're not inside india. on one hand, do have female students who say that they do have the fundamental right given by

the constitution of india to wear a headscarf, which by the way is allowed in public places. but the state says not allowed in the classroom. and on the other hand, you have people who are protesting that most of these belong to groups that identifies hinder groups. so we've seen videos of men heckling, a woman wearing a burger carb. you've seen videos off hinder groups marching in sap and scott's law . saffron is the color closely associated with him. there was a more shockingly resolve video off a group of men hoisting a saffron flag. now this issue is now with the high for that and yearnings are continuing because the female students had brought the board to reinstate what they say is there right now, there are state elections coming up soon? part of me what political impact could this have? we were just on the road in the state auto for dish part of it are going to be

voting tomorrow, whatever the issues in does most popular state and in terms of elections, you cannot overstate. it's important, it is the most important state elections. now political line, let's say that what's happening, hundreds of kilometers down south is, are possibly going to echo here and impact the elections in a way that will probably benefit either b j b. and that's because in the last election, the part, the agenda party, which is the prime minister random, all of these party, came to power largely because of the backing of the hindu board, which was consolidated after a deadly road between hindus and muslims. and they sort of played on the hindu angle now it's been 5 years since that election. and economic hardships means that many of the loyalists are not happy, especially the farmer than me. we spoke to some of them and a lot of them are very, very angry or, you know, they've been protesting. and so i'm gonna say that stirring up this issue could

actually benefit the party our, when our results are announced in march. thank you for that happening your town life or is there in new delhi? a spent more head on this news hour, including why chicken farmers in ghana, accounting millions of birds, leaving them with an uncertain future. more pressure for hospitals in sri lanka, health workers, go on an indefinite strike, demanding better wages. and in sports, half america's champions are into the fee for cap world cup final heat over here with all the action lead ah, increased costs paperwork and delays have impacted the u. k. economy since it left the european union. that's according to a report from the parliamentarian public accounts committee. supporters of

breakfast, including prime minister boys, johnson insist a more will eventually reduce bureaucracy and save businesses money. the report is another blow to the scandal had prime minister who is resisting calls to resign. as peter andrew simmons in london for his so more bad news for prime minister boys johnson and his facing prime minister questions in just a few hours. what can we expect? yes. well, what we can expect that's always a good question on this crisis. suppose johnson's going through that bricks it report it is damning at a time when he's trying to shore up support within the government, or he's made a number of appointments, but it's not really a re shuffle. but jacob reese more. his ally is now a bricks. it opportunity, but units his minister rather new posting witcher isn't really getting a great start. now what he faces in prime minister's questions expected to be the controversy, not about party gate initially,

but all about at not saying sorry for an allegation he made against the lever of the opposition at the kiss tama, he said that he'd fail to prosecute an infamous sexual offender, a jimmy saddle, back from the 19 seventy's. he was a prolific, a sex offender, and that claim was false. and that claim made by both johnson, he's been called on to withdraw it and called on to apologize. lindsey hoyle, the speaker of the house, rebuked the prime minister over this. it was 9 days ago. he made the allegation and he said words have consequences. now the context of that was on monday nights that the opposition leader was surrounded by protested and had to be effectively rescued by police who put them in a police car that to get him out of trouble. so this thing is escalated in different ways. but johnson really is under pressure. he's under pressure on what actions as he hasn't taken to reduce this pressure. well,

he has taken the action of showing up support with this many re schifflet's as it's been known. and he is claiming that he's, he's acting in a very positive way with a whole round of moves or to tackle issues with the economy to tackle issues such as major international issues such as ukraine. and he's trying to really get into a position where he can buy more time and that is really the key issue. because m p 's are disgruntled with who want to put a leadership challenge together. it's quite likely they'll hold off until a much of a lot of really long awaited police report on the party gates and also the a follow up a report, a by gray. and on top of that, a whole series of possible further moves against him. that is really the situation that they will put this on a longer whole,

but there's no doubt that that number of m. p. 's, the 54 required for votes of no confidence. that number is growing. it's room. it to be that in the region of about 30 so far, but only about half a dozen m p 's of actually gone public with it. but right now he is still under major pressure. thank you for that. and her simmons live for his air in london. police in canada, trying to end the protests against colbert 19 vaccine roles. part of the capital auto have been brought to a standstill by truck drivers, and their supporters will be nearly 2 weeks of demonstrations. offices have arrested nearly to death and people and truck drivers have partially bronx, the busiest border crossing between the us and canada protesters. so they'll not leave until all vaccine mandates and go with 900 restrictions are lifted in sri lanka, health care workers have started an indefinite strike. they're demanding better pay

and fair promotions talks with the government have failed. only staff and emergency and critical care units will continue to work. now fernandez has more from outside a hospital in the capital, colombo, there are some 18 different trade unions under the head service umbrella that have joined this work suffrage from monday's an indefinite strike. if anything, from nurses to labord, a few technicians do a public health inspect the people who are in charge of the sort of court with operations and some work in terms of anti cool read activities. there's also a single brick here in lanka, and those public inspectors perform a sort of a vital role. but all of this work has stopped even though emergency services are being continued. so that's what is all about 7 demands. and they said they don't have a choice, the government says they will give in where possible. but there are certain things that just are not doable. this is the really bite because the free has

service here in lanka, off of the most vulnerable, those who don't have the resources or the where we thought to seek private health care go to private hospital and you know, get them to be into. so the national hospital is a massive building. you see behind me one of the main building, the main entrance here. i mean, these are places where people come from far and wide seeking various services, day to day clinic, diabetic treatment of wound clinic, you know, the work and they don't have the money to seek private medical care. so they have to make the journey. if palestinian leaders are demanding an international investigation in what they call into what they call a hideous crime by israeli special forces, they open fire on a car carrying 3 palestinians suspected of attacking israeli soldiers. the shootings provoked protests in retaliation by the alex amortize brigade. andrew chappelle has the details. it was just after mid day in the occupied westbank city

logistics and all that. so, you know, we are most of the things are not actually in place us we, because we didn't have to speed that best. no more base will be affected. gardeners, neighbors are reporting cases. they didn't tell you little try to search for this sort of instruction. your prove it to work best to snore conclusive for critical shortage of food that people will bring it if it will never in countries, many small farms have been forced out of business. the government says it will soon start compensating farmers for their losses. but while they wait for help, thousands of farm workers for use and certain times about their future duties, algebra, taylor, gunner hill, i had on the news, our reclaiming there. rain for a segue doors, highest court rules. indigenous communities must have

we know, of course, that corona viruses are what we call promiscuous viruses. so they're, they're definitely not species specific and they can infect a wide range of different animal hosts. other chroma viruses do that. and also the source code to virus, those that the, the only cause variance has now been found in staten island in white beer. but all the other variance have been found also in the remaining ceiling species in dogs. basically, wherever you really are going to look, you might find the these corano, viruses, humans. in fact, these animals species. however, we have not seen cases where the animals are we infecting humans. hold though it is a radical possibility, probably more likely in animals rather than the walls animals. so no case is yet of animals infecting humans. but is there a possibility that the virus may be spilling over to other animal species without

being detected? that is definitely happening, and that is what corona viruses and many other viruses do not think infections that can infect humans. this probably happens rarely. and we only see the successful introductions of these cyrus is where they were adopted to humans, and where humans can, can insect all the humans. why, why are animals and dear, especially because i understand there's a concern here dear, especially a particularly problematic vector for cove. it well if their companion animals, then of course they live close to us. if their wild animals were probably never going to meet them. when their lives look animals and the animals handlers might, might meet them also in zeus. but the wind failed, the earth daily, very often close to cities, even bigger cities. york city staten island is well populated. and very often these

wild they'll be, or they're not really shy. and they might approach humans or the students to come close to this. this is probably how they got infected in the 1st, but how could, how could humans contract devised from animals when it been the same way that it's transmitted from human to human? this will be the same way as, as humans can get corpus 19 from other from other folks. so by the respiratory route, we do not think at this moment that for example, consuming me from these animals would be, would be a, a roger transmission. we know that for example, hepatitis he can go from dear to humans when humans eat undercooked or raw meat. but this is not the way that garage viruses are transmitted. professor runs, how high would you phase the possibility to do the risk for further mutation of the covey? 19 very enter,

and the virus and potential spill over back to humans. and what should be done? you think to reduce the risk, should they be coming of some of these animals that are carrying the virus? what viruses mutated every day, that's their core business, and they mutate the humans, but they will mutate the mobile cell. so they might mutate in different directions in some of the other l species. and when does that? so that's mutated fires that has accumulated probably many mutations that were not so generated in humans. when that animal meets another human them, then you might get infected with a yell. sort of an old lawyer, a mutated cyrus that might behave quite unpredictably in humans. thank you so much for talking to us about this. thank you for your insight, mark van rance, professor of i ology at the catholic university of lovin, we appreciate your time. thank you. and south korea has another record number of

coffee, 19 cases, nearly 50000 new infections where reported on wednesday. the surge is being driven by the omi con variant deaths and hospital admissions are still low, but health officials expects them to increase hong kong has brought in its toughest restrictions, yet infections have increased to more than a 1000 a day. fresh vegetables are running short because delivery drivers who test positive have been banned from entering the city on kong. now require people to show vaccine passports before they can enter malls and stores to ecuador. now where the highest court has rolled, indigenous communities must have more say about oil and mining projects that affect their land. the decision is a setback for the president's plan. so ward contracts in the amazon rain forest, a latin america editor, lucy newman reports. this is the ancestral territory of the i co, fun community of seen on the way at the entrance of the amazon basin in ecuador

could generations. this indigenous community has lived off of what the rain forest provides from food to medicines and boats. but when they discovered that their territory was being invaded by gold mining projects all along their river isolated community took action, men and women. there was a letter. we also have the right to protect care for and patrol our territory to identify the most impacted areas to tell the state enough enough contamination enough of putting our territories in danger. but their indigenous patrols weren't enough, was as common somoza. we began going to the capital to the mongo ministry to see what was happening. i mean i, we discovered that the government had approved 52 money concessions for 25 years. was there was never any consultation, nothing with the legal assistance of the n g o amazon front lines. the community brought a lawsuit against ecuador government. al jazeera was visiting the community when

they received the supreme court verdict. oh, you've one new one. the unprecedented ruling obliges the state to consult communities over oil and mining projects that impact their land and to seek their consent. it applies not just to this indigenous community, but to all those all over the country. many of whom suffer massive environmental damage from the oil industry. the country's largest, the ruling is a blow, the government's ambitious plans to double oil production and significantly expend mining, most of which take place in the amazon. now we can see this movement spreading across ecuador and spreading across the amazon, because what's happening in ecuador is actually happening all over the amazon. a kudos mining association insist that responsible mining is imperative for the country's development. it is only due to a mass. this is an indispensable industry for human beings and also for our

economic welfare. we don't oppose consulting communities, but we oppose being discriminated, has need regular. we get the tiny, seemingly community has won a huge battle, but it may not necessarily have the last word. since the court ruling does leave room for exceptions in the name of overriding national interests, lucy newman al jazeera police in indonesia have arrest, said dozens of people taking part in a protest against plans for a rock mining site. it happened in central java where people had been trying to someplace entering the time when things i said to have turned violent. agencies say they're not allowed access to the waters village. local media reporting power lines may have been cut. in argentina, the government's negotiations with international monetary fund to repay some of its massive dead says provoking a furious reaction with soaring levels of inflation and poverty. hotels. so say the

with high inflation rates? i see the government is hoping to announce a 2nd level agreement in the next month before sending it to congress. people here are extremely concerned about the impact that the agreements will have in their lives. are amina one seni says, she is not concerned about the i m f, but about argentine as economy, inflation is expected to surpass 50 percent this year. the mileage thus young at the inflation is affecting a small commercial business just because of the prices today. you have $1.00 price the next day, another the dollar increases, and it has an impact in inputs and transports. we're scared and paralyzes us. we just want the uncertainty to end economy say, an agreement with the i m f is crucial to prevent argentina from being isolated from international financial market on nothing. yeah. which i didn't and has no

option. i do agree with diane. if default, default is to relive the crisis of 2001 and nobody wants to be in the situation again. and that's why in alternative is better than a default. we see an agreement is a positive step if it helps urgent tina increase the central bank reserves and stabilize the economy. but these people are not convinced they say the i m f measures have heard them in the past, and they fear it could happen again. they said, well, i'll defeat it when a fight if starbucks is being accused of retaliating against employees who try to unionize in the us. the coffee house giant find organizers from memphis business, seeing their violated policies for using the store after hours and giving tv interviews. workers at more than 50 starbuck stores across $900.00 faith, have filed to join unions. cathy grates and is the director of cornell university

school and industrial and labor relations. she says american laws are antiquated. the momentum for the workers is accelerating, and i think it's going to be quite difficult for starbucks to work on so many france at the same time, what starbucks has in its favor is that american labor law is extremely weak for employees in the private sector. so what, there is one law, the national labor relations act that covers all private sector labor law throughout the entire united states. and that law is antiquated. it was passed in 1935. and there hasn't been any meaningful labor law reform in favor of workers since that time. so it allows, for example, for long delays before employees get an election, it allows the employer to engage in

a lot of tactics into union tactics against employees. and then even if the employees, when the remedies under the statute are very weak. so for example, the 6 employees, if they're terminated and that fills out the labor movement at that particular store, that the employer faces very, very low low remedies, which it can easily pay f b, i. agents have arrested a husband and wife, accused of laundering 3. and a half $1000000000.00 worth of crypto currency. almost 120000 bitcoin were stolen when the digital money exchange bit fitness was hacked. 6 years ago, prosecutor se sum was transferred to the you a couple. but the u. s. department of justice phase, it's recovered. most of the fortune shebra tansy has more from washington for the dear j was about with justice. it was clear that they really wanted to get that message across. that no matter what people may have heard,

bitcoin and other crypto currency is traceable by their investigative, that it is not a safe space for, for crime. you know, the crypto currency space is something that they, are there opportune up to monitoring. so look, looking at this case for 2016, we have a virtual currency exchange called bit 5 x, which is where people go to buy bitcoin using dollars and convert bitcoin and into dollars that was hack into and $71000000.00 worth of coin were taken now, the reason why these enormous thing is being trained around today, a $4500000000.00 and $3600000000.00 is the value of bitcoin has, has grown so greatly in that 5 year period. so about $71000000.00. that's worth $4500000000.00 of which the d. r. james recovered $3600000000.00 to what they're trying to do it. and as restore confidence in crypto currency as a place where if, if your money's next, if someone starts to steal your, your crypto currency,

thank you very much. we'll start with the developing story of the winter olympics in beijing. one of the middle ceremonies has been delayed by what is described as a legal issue. it centers around the team event that was one by the russian olympic committee on monday. that was when a 15 year old camilla valley ever landed the 1st quadruple jumps by a woman in olympic competition. we've heard valley ever and 3 other teammates did not appear at their practice sessions on wednesday, the i se, se the ceremony would take place as soon as possible. we are doing absolutely everything and everyone is doing actually everything that these the, these are the situation can be resolved as soon as possible because we have athletes and athletes of one middles involved. i can't give you any more details because they're not, she know it, but we will be doing our level. utmost to to make sure is resolved as quickly as possible. it's been another disastrous day for skier, mikaela schiffron, who is questioning whether she should keep competing at the bathing winter olympics
