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 ukranian 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 mark raw 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. and the u. s. has accused russia of escalating tensions by planning more military exercise in belarus. pedroza plan for 1st hope.

russia says it's trying to repel any attack on his borders or words above the roost . but it comes as the pentagon says, moscow has been deploy more troops to frontier with ukraine in the 1st convoys carrying u. s. military equipment have arrived in romania. that's where about a 1000 american troops are headed in the coming days. though joining some $900.00 service members already station that is part of an additional troop deployment ordered by president joe biden. and ukraine has said has been on the frontline of cyber warfare against russia for years last month. the u. s. cybersecurity agency also warned a potential critical threats to american acids. yoko organizations were warned to boast at their defenses as well, that was over phase that a hack in ukraine could spiral beyond its borders like it did in 2017. the not pertain cyber attack was a virus that crippled parts of ukraine's infrastructure. but later it spoiled

around the internet, spreading to international companies and costing them billions of dollars. hello easy paganini is ace of a cyber security and intelligence expert. he explains how attackers could exploit volts in the global banking system. there is no computing system that is totally secure. banks are privilege a target for both state sponsored argus and also cyber criminal gangs. an attacker could use a so called the 0, the exploit to target the any system. and i has a great to likely you the success as your these are flow that the, you know, computer system that is not to know at the time of the attacks. these means that the defenders have no idea of a bargain, their system and yet ox astroid eating order to breach into the target they talked . you must also consider the initial, they say doctors like russia was our where is so said and usually have a multiple 0 day exploits in the us. and i'm for the series on the fans from the at axis. not simple sir. through his presence,

calling for summit between us president joe biden and north korea's kim jung and moon jane told south korean media that the 2 ladies should discuss pyongyang, nuclear weapons program. despite the ongoing impasse, he also expressed concern that north korea could resume that nuclear and long range missile testing, which he says could cause an instant crisis. now let's bring in rob mcbride, who's in the south korean capital sol, rob, is this a warning? not just to the north korean leader, but the international community as well. i think for president moon j, and this is a pretty realistic assessment of the current state of play on the korean peninsula . this was in an interview with media here in south grand, also international media. it comes as he has only a few months, more left in office. he remains fairly up beat about the prospects of dealing with north korea, saying that it is possible conditions could exist whereby president bo joe biden,

like his predecessor, could meet with a kim jargon of north korea to talk about the nuclear rise ation. reminding the world, of course, that the americans have said they are committed to diplomacy, that they are willing to start the process of dialogue any time anywhere. but it does come of course, against this background of increased missile testing by north korea, that in the month of january alone, north korea fired off and 9 ballistic missiles to cruise missiles. and what was the busiest flurry of missile activity in all of the years of its weapons development. and of course, the last of those ballistic missiles was an intermediate range. and besides the fear being of course, that north korea may be tempted to go back to the far more provocative active actually send off an icbm and intercontinental ballistic missile. now, can juggling of north korea has hinted that the mora tauriel, which has been in place on a nuclear testing and long range missile testing could be dropped and moon j. n. a

said a quite starkly, that if that were to happen, then the whole korean peninsula will be returned instantly to the state of crisis. it was in 5 years ago. also he ended on quite a so, but notes a some. a sobering point about the possibility of a formal piece declaration to end the career walk is of course, there's only ever been in place an actual armistice. this has been one of the goal of diplomats and politicians for many years to get the parties around a table and sign a formal piece declaration. well, he has confirmed that south korean and us officials have agreed on a form of words such an historic document. but has admitted that with the little time left in office, the chances of achieving that before he leaves office in may remain extremely remote. robert my there from earth soul. thank you very much. ah. as prime

a heated exchange in canada's parliament or time minister just to richard oh and susan, canada, won't bully you can't end a pandemic with blockades. you can and a plan damage by decreeing you can even ended by legislation. you need to ended with science, you need. and oh, and even as canadians are tired and impatient for it and we're going to continue to be there for them to support them through it. and to make sure we do everything necessary to and i the protesting truckers say they'll continue their blockade as long as it takes so far, police have been reticent to cleared the roads domino effect when to stop added up with these guys each day, hundreds of millions of dollars in commerce crosses the ambassador bridge,

including 25 percent of canada's total global exports. so with billions it stake each hour and each day the chance of a confrontation between police and protesting truckers increases in the us and in canada. patience is wearing thin. we'll have to be resolved one way or the other. not saying i just suggest you know, better and rams and police officers that may not be the solution. but there has to be a resolution to get the pricing on impact on the united states and canada. as the stand off whereas on it remains to be seen whether the 1st to lose patients will be the protesting truckers or police john henry and al jazeera on the u. s. canadian border. and there are report a similar protest convoy is plan in the u. s. white house press secretary didn't sucky, says washington's closely monitoring the situation and working with canadian officials, investor bridges, canada,

the busiest link to the united states and accounts for about 25 percent of trade between the 2 countries. and so the blockade poses arrest to supply chains for the auto industry because the bridge is the key conduit for motor vehicles, components and parts, and delays risk disrupting auto production. we are in close contact. we've been doing a great deal of work on this. alicia wood randall, our homeland security adviser convened a meeting just today. a growing number of democratic lead states in the u. s. are rolling back faced mass mandates. on wednesday, the governor of new york state said it's indo mos policy for businesses would not be renewed and the state of illinois and massachusetts se they'll end some loss requirements by the end of the month. she have returns, he has more from washington d. c. it's about assigned is also a matter of public health policy. the metrics, the, the centers for disease control uses the federal organization here in d. c is rates of transmission bout so they're looking at when they decide on their

recommendations for masking mandates. and because all the crime is so transmissible, those rates are really, really, really high. so that's why the head of the cdc said that the cdc is not ready yet to recommend loosening vaccine monday to then she points to, you know, or off the statistics which are very, very we're in new cases. are still, it's around 240000 a day in the us daily depths of 2500 a day. and hospitalisation were sent over about 100100000 patients. having said that, with these statistics because of all microns trans, mr ability, there isn't that very, there is no specificity about how many of these cases actually specific coded cases . and how many people are people who went to hospital or something else and were found to have a lacrosse? what we're looking at now is a debate about the use of those metrics. as of the metrics should be different, especially when you're looking at different regions of the country. so instead of looking overall transmission rates should we be looking at overall hospital capacity? because in the end,

it's all about saving the public health system and about vaccination rates. in particular areas there's, i real worry among some public health officials there is that went on the chronic spreading. it's such a right even when you're wearing masks because it's producing so much virus that them people are going to not really believe much in my city most. so the head allows 0, the you incentive all taken you shot and vaccinating west africa again, covered 19 and millions of chickens called in gonna as bird flew deals, poetry of whole tree farmers. another devastating like ah, with the shock of wind has gone away from the southern states, the u. s. t m to the back up to where they should be a little above and in places. in fact, you go further west to southern california and you've got heat warnings out the

temperatures significantly above where the average suggests they should be. but we asked to in winter and so when to weather around for a while at a stays at $3231.00 degrees them to be so. so above the average, that's not the case in the northern plains or ontario, a huge part of easton canada, in fact, between the snow and the retina companies freezing rainy day, which is the stuff that produces glaze ice is quite damaging. so winter still around. but his barrel, the more limited than it was, the remains of the last winter cold trunk is giving showers to the bahamas to cuba . less so to hispaniola, and equally less so to mexico is scattered around again seasonally no. as is unfortunate, recent flooding in western columbia and in ecuador and that lauren could produce more of the same. and then you follow your eyes through brazil, down towards the southeast to rio significant right here rios, our power that's been around for a day or so is keeping going. that is

the audio is there a remind of our top stories this our, the use top financial regulator is wanting major banks of a possible russian cyber attack. that's according to the reuters news agency, which says banks are conducting cycle wargames. and meanwhile, european lead is run a diplomatic push to stop a military conflict between ukraine and russia, moscow's bitter laughing troops on the ukrainian border french president. emanuel macro is the 1st and latest lead rather to meet the president of russia and ukraine . now south korea's president is calling for summit between the u. s. president joe biden, and north korea's came and john on moon j express concern that north korea could resume nuclear and long range missiles i think, which he says could cause an instant crisis. vaccinated foreign

taurus canal visit, visit the philippines for nearly the 1st time in 2 years. the easing of restrictions comes a month later than planned after conserves. of the army. con varies a decrease in cases as postal authorities to open bodies in a bed to revive his tourism dependent economy. let's cross jamila. busy allan doug, who's in bo jamilla, is this a political decision one based in medical science? well, it's definitely based, i guess, on a lot of consultations with different government agencies. as you know, corporate cases have been slowing down steadily in the philippines over the last few weeks. there was already a plan to open the country to international tourist last year, but obviously the very dominant variance here is on the crime. so it is quite important for the country to open economically. that's because the philippines is one of the worst performing, the tourism industry is one of the worst performing in se, asia,

the tourism industry contributes 12 percent of the countries g, d, p. and since the pandemic broke out, nearly 30 percent of all the filipino tourists workers have lost their job. so we are here in the hall, you know, one of the most sought after tourist destinations in the country. we've spoken to the governor earlier and said this is definitely looking like hopefully like the light at the end of the tunnel. as you know, the same province was also devastated by cypher wright last year. and thankfully, he said that nearly only half of the storage areas were damage. so they're really hoping that this would signal really the start of the economy slowly picking up and making a valuable contribution to the lives of ordinary filipinos who have suffered immensely . since the pandemic broke out, allan doug and they're reporting for us live from the whole. thank you very much. the u. k prime minister boris yeltsin has indicated that england's last remaining

covered 19 restrictions may be scrapped early. johnson says he reveal his plans what he calls living with the virus. when parliament returns on the 22nd of february. his ladyship remains under pressure, though after more photos released of lockdown parties held by government staff, police in london. so they want to interview more than 50 people who attended. either mister speak, i can tell my house to day that it is my intention to return on the 1st day off to the hot to i'm recess to present our strategy for living. with koby. provided the current encouraging trends in the day to continue. it is my expectation that we will be able to end the last domestic restrictions, including the legal requirement to self isolate. if you test positive a full month earn. sweden's lifted his covered 19 restrictions and residents say, they don't notice the difference. the country was among those which took a mostly hands off approach to the pandemic. now vaccine passes are no longer

needed and there are also no more limits on how many people can gather events and in public spaces. and the un secretary general is calling vaccine inequity, the world's biggest moral failure. antonio terrace made the remark, had the launch of the world helped organizations new campaign to address the pandemic that of h o is asking rich countries for $16000000000.00 to get vaccines, medications and tests to poorer countries. we know that unless colby 19 tools become available to all it is no mystery infection rates will stay high. and patients health systems and economists will suffer a new viral strength naval posting a threat to all of us once again. so, investing in act day is the mutual interest of all countries. set a goal by 300000000 vaccines from the you in a bid to boost cove at 19 resistance across the region. present of the european

union. a commission ursula van de leon is in senegal for the deal. she confirmed that the block will pledge a $125000000.00 euros for current of ours vaccination in africa. the vaccines will be producing a purpose built factory outside the capital, decker, and distributed across west africa. when people wanted some specific vaccine, some time was not available when some vaccine was believe not being efficient of causing problem. people want a different vaccine that wasn't an existing. so disorder facility where you have a agility where you can do different technology, is a great opportunity where you can so of those different meets for africans in general. and the last thing is that people may also trust better vaccine that are met locally in our experience as we are doing this for more than 8 years. now, we realize that many african prefer to be vaccinated by vaccine manufactured africa . so we hope this would help actually increase the trust that they have in these

vaccines. and somehow her addiction infection hesitance a new and more lethal variance of bird flew is devastating poultry farmers in west africa. millions of chickens have already been called our managers roles from tamara neg, on his capitol acro, on the struggle to contain the spread. this is the 2nd time in 7 months. delaware farms has been forced to college chickens. $30000.00 birds are being destroyed just 2 weeks after $63000.00 was spent to restock. the farm was very, very frustrating for us and very difficult to go. so you just have to comment populated them and so really lost so much so much better. you know, to the last year birth flow was the age 9 into virus . this year is the more legal, 85, and what very it,

which is difficult to control. 24 hours ago. 4000 chickens were here. now it's nearly empty. and even the few remaining will have to be destroyed. veterinary officials say just one infraction is enough reason to call the entire farm birds. and the rising number of deaths across gunner war is that the government we're having to deal with it to try to minimize the costs. tens of their debts. mortalities is the highest in the 10 year period. 3 dead, one we have or more than 700000 barrels, which have either been put down as a preventive measure to control that was read or had been a, died out of the infection of issues on the ground. so the current outbreak took them by surprise, punched in the numbers. so we are a little bit overwhelmed because an area of resources, a lot,

logistics in order. so in a way, i have most of the things are not actually in place as we because we didn't have to speed that there's no more base will be affected. gunners, neighbors are reporting cases. they didn't tell you little try to search for the sort of instruction your praise it to work best. it is not conclusive, frizzy to shortage of food that people were bringing if it were 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 degrees, al jazeera, tele gonna inter. so court of justice is, or did you gonna to pay

a $325000000.00 to the democratic republic of congo? the fine is reparations for conflict 20 years ago. the kill tens of thousands. that's when you garden, an rwandan backed rebels, fort congolese troops for control of the minnow rich region of a tory, the finds far less than the 11000000000, but the democratic republic of congo was seeking. the court's decision cannot be appealed. and john, the singer is a researcher for the democratic republic of congo at amnesty international. he says the ruling is a step forward, but the fine should have been much bigger. today's ruling by the international court of justice is very important. symbolically 1st, because for, i mean, for the 1st time since the congo wars started, a state is being held to account. there was this 1st rolling in 2025. we recognized the responsibility of uganda,

and now there are also the compensations coming in. now, it saw the amount of compensations since a very little compared to the damage compared to the number of victims. but it is still some important step. it's also some, somehow depends on the government, willing to make sure that you're gonna pay what it has to pay because you know, it's the court. the court of justice has done its work. but now, there is a diplomatic work that needs to be done, but did your see to make sure that the money is paid and that it goes to to their victims. i mean, as i say, i was saying them amount of recreations that has been decided by the court doesn't seem to meet the level of the damage, but still it's a,

it's an important step for, for the victims. scientists say they're now one step closer to what's described as the ultimate power source. they've made a major breakthrough and the decades long struggle to develop practical nuclear fusion. it's the energy process that power the sun, and that has the potential to provide virtually unlimited supplies of clean, efficient energy, european research as of the u. k based jets laboratory, a working to deliver fusion power by 2040. that latest experiments had produced 59 mega jewels of energy in 5 seconds. that's more than double what they're able to do in 1997. it's not a huge amount of energy, but scientists can use the protest out, build a even larger reactor, which is already underway in france. athena kathy is a researcher, the max plant institute for plasma physics and germany. she says is a very clear plan on how to move forward. the next step is eater,

is the experimental reactor currently being billed in southern france. and is this an 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 this plasmas will behave in this future experimental reactor. this device will be able to produce even more fusion power up to $500.00 megawatts and 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 and 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, an a measure should be taken for the public. so if one does something wrong and the plasma just shuts down itself,

and there is absolutely no danger. russia media is reporting olympic skater, camilla valley ever tested positive for a band hot medication before leaving for beijing. the report comes after olympic officials delayed presenting the 15 year old and had he made a gold medal for their when the drug is used to tree angina and banned by the world anti doping agency is performance enhancing stimulant. it's the same drug that prompted the ban of the russian. bob's latino after the 2018 olympics ah, is out there and these are the top stories. the eas, top financial regulator, is warning major banks of a possible russian cyber attack. that's according to the reuters news agency, which says banks are now conducting cyber war games. a meanwhile, european leaders on a diplomatic push to stop
