scouts and working towards clean energy. european scientists say they've had a major breakthrough in developing nuclear fusion. pow ah you cranes as it won't accept any ultimatums to diffuse the tension, but the russia foreign minister dmitri dimitra collab. i made the comments following tuesday's visit from the french president columbus. his talks with western lead of the help and to low attention with moscow. while all this comes as the u. k. foreign secretary arrived in moscow for talks about the crisis. western nations threatening moscow with sanctions. if it invades ukraine, will in a tweet, the u. k. foreign secretary list trust as russia must immediately withdraw its forces or face consequences. the name barbara has more on those comments from london. a bit of kara, but also quite

a lot of stick there from the u. k. foreign secretary, the 1st form secretary to travel to russia in 4 years. i think behind these are a couple of things. firstly, on january the 31st place, trust the u. k. parliament. that by thursday, the 10th of february, they would be in place, new legislation, which would, which would have ready new sanctions against people and companies which seems to be supporting the russian government. what the foreign office is calling the largest ever sanctions regime against russia. in the circumstances that russia did take military action, this trust has talked about any invasion. now, those new sanctions are not ready. the opposition here has queried why it's being reported that they should be brought forward by the end of this month. but they so

puts more pressure on on lives truss and on the british government to look like it's doing something along side it's european allies, under nato, now live trusted in russia for a 2 day visit meeting. the foreign minister boris johnson on thursday travels to poland to meet the prime minister president. but crucially also then goes to brussels to meet the secretary general of the nato alliance in britain. very keen to show that it is standing firm with the us. natasha butler's following development from kiev. dmitri clover are giving a press conference sir in kiev, and he went over a couple of points. really. he said, 1st of all, in terms of the situation along caves along ukraine's border, he said that it was calm. it was quiet despite the buildup of a russian troops there and that i caused some of the comments he made earlier today

in which he said, look, the situation is still very tense, but it is under control. he said he also welcomed a recent diplomatic efforts by various a western leaders. he said that those efforts that really helped to or reduce tensions that helped ease tensions. and that the a president zalinski had also welcomed them. he talked about the french president emmanuel mcgraw, who met with the russian leader vladimir putin in moscow on monday and also with the ukranian present in kiev on tuesday. or he said the macro had put no pressure on a ukraine, had not come with any proposals, but it only come with opinions, particularly when it comes to a efforts by ukrainian and russell senior advisors to try and revive the piece process for the east of ukraine. out those are the so called minsk agreements. they are a talks that are being mediated by france by germany. something that emanuel mcgraw

has said is very important. indeed, he sees that as a possible way to try and diffuse a tensions of ukraine. perhaps a possible solution to the crisis. now, working on a fishing boat is a dangerous job of the best of times off the coast of ukraine. the increasing number of russian navy patrols are added to the danger fishermen said they are living in fear of being arrested and interrogated by russian intelligence agents. chance trap that has law. the freezing fog is thick speed out across the nozzle. see crimea, which was on expired forces a years ago, is not far from here. anton has come to check the area, he will fish when the winter fishing season starts next week. he insists on covering his face because he like hundreds of ukrainian fishermen has been detained by russian naval intelligence. in recent years. he says he was taken to a russian naval base and coach at the entrance to the black sea where he was

interrogated and held for 15 days before being released. lot of the 3 mister, there are many obstacles access to the sea as difficult russians don't allow us to work properly. they approach us and stop pushing us back, harassed us. we can't do anything of our small boat against their equipment. it's impossible to prove to them we have a right to be here. pointless trying the wreck of a soviet fishing. charlotte appears on an island around which ukrainian fishermen now cost their nets less frequently. soviet build houses where fishermen used to stay, stand there near the shore were about 20 kilometers off the coast. fishermen tell us that normally in this area they'd be around a 100 ukrainian fishing vessels operating. but they say that number is dwindling fast because of fears of russia. naval patrols in 2003,

russia and ukraine signed an agreement, which allows both countries to fish anywhere in the as of see the since 2014. when russia unexplained, the moscow has increased its naval presence and taken greater control of these waters. and the larger black sea, which he has off is connected to by the current straight. in december, the ukrainian navy said russia brought 75 percent of the as of by issuing navigation warnings. recent large scale russian naval exercises of crimea, fuel fears that the criminal is preparing to invade ukraine by sea, something russia continues to deny. green, last 70 percent, at least when russia sees control of crimea, and sylvester pull the black sea port, city grange government. he's going small naval patrol vessels from nato palm as but seems powerless to better protect fishermen curb regarding unless of course i'm

worried. we go far out to sea, we might not come back. it's good if the russians and former families that they've taken us. but there are many instances when they file forged cases against us. and the risk of being put in a russian prison for me is the fish market tray to say they are feeling the financial fall out of rushes, actions, and see who to for me. all the situation has got really bad. no rush and tories small amount of fish from the boats because of problems that see the fusion industry suffering. and that means we do to we repeatedly asked the ukrainian navy for comment about how can better protect fishermen from what the government calls russian aggression. the navy refused because of what it says are security issues. anton, is afraid of fishing. these i see waters in the weeks ahead. i see now increasingly under russian control, cha, stratford down to 0, the as of see some new crime trial. the news now and security forces and said on

have arrested a formal government minister and outspoken critic of the military takeover. last year, the sudanese congress party says colored the omar usage was to change because of his role in the now disbanded committee to dismantle the former ruling party. more rest are expected, but was issued for all the committee members. let's get more on this. we're joined by him more than she's live for us and costumes. what do we know about the full, a minister? how did all my uses hipaa? 100 on what to use. it was not just the cabinet minister and the during the time off prime minister who had resigned earlier this year. but he's also a prominent member of the for the freedom and change coalition. that was the ruling coalition. up until the military takeover and late october last year, he's also a senior member of the dismantled committee to dismantle the former regime of june 30th back to regina a former president. so i'm going to proceed which was overthrown on april 2019. now

that makes me a very significant person, especially because has been very critical of the military even prior to the takeover that happened. he has been criticizing the partnership. he has been saying that the ministry has not been very keen to handle parts of civilian government. so lots of criticism before the military takeover. he was arrested for more than a month following the military coup. before he was released asked to prime minister ham, took time to deal with it, made it seem to be reinstated. so a very prominent person to be right now arrested by a be amended by the state authority. and so we can see why he would be a target. so why are we seeing his arrest and the other warrant for other arrests? now while the arrests lawrence and his arrest specifically comes just days after the committee that was reviewing the job of dismantling committee issued statement saying issued a report rather saying that the initial, the 1st committee,

the comments to the plan syllabus years regime has not been very dedicated to it's work, it has criticized the members of the committee. it has said that many of the assets that were through creed, from people accused of being loyalist who bashir regime were not given to the ministry of finance, as it should have been. many of the decisions that have been made have made, made without the quorum the lot because they sent about the functions and the role of that committee. let's not forget that many people that the committee decided should be dismissed from government. institutions and ministries were returned back following the take over. so it looked like the reason why they've been arrested, or rather the minute, the cabinet minister and the office of the full from a prime minister who was the rest. it is because of his connection to the comics to dismantle but here's the regime and because he's not the only person who has been arrested elizabeth, there are other too prominent former forces of freedom and change coalition members who have been arrested this morning and there are reports that more, more arrest are expected from before. so freedom in change coalition members who

are also members of the comics to dismantle this year's regime. have a morgan with the very latest on that story for us live in car to thank you. have a now uganda has been ordered to pay $325000000.00 to democratic republic of congo. the d r. c was seeking $11000000000.00 for its economic loss from fighting around 20 years ago. and to compensate victims, the ruling by the international court of justice is final and can't be appealed. hundreds of thousands were killed as uganda and for wander back to rebels, fought congolese government troops for control of the mineral rich rich region of italy. still ahead on the bulletin, the european union finds a deal to buy millions of clothes. 19 vaccines manufactured in senegal and heavy rain sugars, a devastating mudslide in columbia, raising questions as to why the poorest communities are being affected. ah,

your world's weather update begins in the middle east hang tight, will get africa and one sec. but 1st the pitcher rounds of rain through the levant, northern areas of syria, iraq, and that is dropping down to the south. in fact, to wait, may see some showers. we go in for a closer look. 2 things i wanted to point out here. southerly flow that's pops up the temperature ria, 26 same goes for q 8, but look, there is some of those showers that may leak in there, the risk of it, and maybe even some funder downpours did see quite intense downpours in karachi. also a suburb $150.00 millimeters of rain within hours. so all of that to say water logged roads were certainly an issue that energy has shoved away. so we're back into the sunshine and temperatures are lifting. for example, in karachi, 27 degrees a high for you on thursday, while wet and windy conditions we had in is stumble,

but that energy has shifted out toward the east were also seen. it pushes into the caucasus as well on thursday. take it to africa, we're talking about the potential to break some records here. shark, the red, the hired, the temperature jew, but $42.00. the record for february is $43.00 degrees. we have pouring rain falling from southern angola rate into northern namibia. i think we may see some flooding here, but for cape town, it's sunny pitcher on thursday at 23 degrees c later. ah frank assessments for china? well, bannister from the 0 call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get together informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs, i'm not protest from that statement critical debate. my group would claims that nato constitutes a leg to stand chill, threat to russia, but it's precisely his actions that's created this insecurity in the region. in

depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera lou ah, the watching on to 0 with me, elizabeth vermont. i'm a reminder of our tops toys. the sour ukraine says it won't accept to any ultimatums to diffuse attention with russia. foreign minister, demitra calais buses, talks with western leaders, are helping to no attention with moscow forma. so denise minister khalid oh, my use of has been arrested by security forces. he's been a vocal critic of loss just military take over the sudanese congress party. says he was detained because of his role and trying to dismantle the former ruling party.

now schools in india, southern karnataka state have been ordered to close for 3 days as tensions escalate against the banning of religious head scarves in class. the controversy has re ignite of the debate about the rights of india's minorities in the hindu dominated . government omni metal has vol, from the capital, knew debbie wow. videos that defined the growing tensions in the state of to not got installed in india. students aligned with him, 2 groups, heckler, woman, for wearing a boycott as competing religious. johns, a hood, every, every religion has freedom, they're falling their culture and i'm following mind. they should let us follow our culture and not to raise obstacles for us. a few weeks ago, 16 needs students were barred from wedding head scarves in the classroom. those protests have now spread across the state with more women, demanding the right to cover their heads and cloth, opposing them all in the groups. they have been marching, wedding, saffron colors,

gobs and shawls, and some hoisted a saffron flag. the color is considered sacred by many hindus ego uniform, a living song, uniforms seem for everybody. whether it is hindu, muslim or christian, they should abide and very uniform and the he job has to be kept outside the gate. the state government run by prime minister marines modi's party just the party has supported school and college administrators inventing most and girls wearing hits come in class. the route has the ignited the debate about minority rights in india that these in the supreme assist groups are the same. you know, the self same groups that since 2008 attack women in the same coastal kanaka area for visiting bumps bearing western clothes. they ballantine days coming up and the same group will be out on the street at cling couple levels. what's the thing together and saying that you're not allowed to factor nice with somebody who's not

that's a boost for the synagogue here, but also the rest of africa will create jobs. but if africa has struggled with low vaccination rates, and part of that is access to vaccine dose is global system that hasn't favorite african countries, but also the world health organization program, kovacs that they to get poor country vaccine doses. and that relies on donations and some of those donations of those doses have had short expiration date. not the end of last year got lost around 400000 doses because of, of expiration date, the niger area, nearly a 1000000. but it's thought that once this factory is up and running and manufacturing goes doses, that should address some of the distribution issues. it's thought that now if they set up the time to when they set up the plan to start manufacturing doses, africans, manufacturing doses for africans should be a great to uptake in those vaccination. now one of the busiest border crossings

between the us and canada has partially reopened. it was blocked by a convoy of truckers fighting vaccine mandates. the ambassador bridge between windsor and detroit carries 25 percent of all trade between the 2 countries. the so called freedom convoy protest is now and it's 12 day truck as want vaccine requirements and other clothing 19 restrictions removed for cross order workers shop, so closed in the city of marvelous as palestinian started a general strike and protest at as rainy killings palestinian leaders are demanding and international investigation into what they describe as a heinous crime by israeli special forces. they open fire on a car carrying 3 palestinian suspected of attacking israeli soldiers. the shootings provoked protest than threats by retaliation by the alex and martyrs brigade. neither abraham, as in nablus in the occupied west and what protest as have gathered hundreds of

people have gathered here in nablus, coming from different cities from the occupied west bank. they want to pay their condolences to the families of the 3 young men. many here tell us that they were shocked at the way these really forces conducted this operation. and they say that the numbers of bullets inside these young men's bodies shows the levin of hatred. when we were looking at the faces of people coming here, we saw sadness, anger, but also young people who are let down the superman either to be in. those young people can't be blamed for taking this course of action. there's no future for us these nor hope. i'm a commercial sure i could. roger, i want to see the whole st. rise up to day. it might be my friends to morrow might be the other palestinians, friends, or cousins. we need to keep protesting for our homeland shops here in nablus have shut down their doors, responding to calls for a general fry. we've seen these called being echoed in different cities in the us

ranking clothing and rama law jeanene and full cut him. we've also seeing the young palestinians thick through the threes, the vent to end to voice their anger. some of them went to a near the league. it was really a sediment of red al miramar, la others. where in hebron, where they threw rocks at the really army, the army, you dispersed the crowds and responded with robert bullard t gaz and sun grenades. while the velocity in leadership has condemned the killings and said that palestinians are in need of international for facts. and people here say that the funder nation are meaningless. they say that they were left alone facing one of the throng with the army in the world. just re lunk and now we're health care workers and government one hospitals are continuing their indefinite strike to demand higher pay. as banal,

unstable. they also fear any more mud slides could block the river and caused major flooding, or maybe from afar, them 1st we working on the rescue. secondly, we are mitigating the risk factor in the upper part of the landslide, which of the water flows, and the fact is that generated the disaster, the emergency, the death toll is expected to rise, as many have been taken to hospital with critical injuries. the problem of not slides is common here during the rainy season and has led to major catastrophes in the past. the biggest in 2017, when 320 people were killed in the southern put a male province. those most vulnerable, often live in poorly constructed wooden homes, built on mountains and valleys and along rivers in das gave us it's those impoverished communities who left not only displaced but dealing with the death of

were able to produce in 1997. it's not a huge amount of energy, but scientists can use the process to help build an even larger reactor, which is already underway in france. now athena compa to as a researcher at the max planck institute for plasma physics in germany. she says there is a very clear plan on how to move forward. the next step is eater, is the experimental reactor hardly being billed in southern france. it is this a larger scale much larger scale than an experiment we've done here. but the experiments we have succeeded in performing now in the, in this results we're presenting, is that teach us a lot about how well this cosmos will behave in this future experimental reactor. this device will be able to produce even more fusion power up to $500.00 megawatts in for even longer time. and in parallel, we're thinking about the next step, which is a demonstration fusion power plant,

which will show how we will deliver electricity. and after that, of course, it's for society to pick it up and use fusion energy. it's clean, it's safe, it's abundant. this is there, is it safe inherently? because there's nothing that can go wrong in principle that would require any measures should be taken for the public. so if one does something wrong, the plasma just shuts down itself, and there is absolutely no danger. ah, logan of elizabeth brought him into a hall with the headlines on al jazeera. ukraine says it won't accept any ultimatums to diffuse the tension with russia. foreign minister, demitra columbus. his talks with western leaders are helping to low attention with muscular natasha. butler has more from care dmitri labor or giving a press conference.
