nato has made it clear that any incursion into ukraine would have massive consequences and carry severe costs. normally, with the machine, no doubt of course we need to normalize relations, but this is supposed to be based on mutual and respectful dialogue, principles of equality and recognition of each other's interest. you'll get to it. but as for id, ologies, ultimate and threats, this is a dead end street m o healed nothing. unfortunately, some of our western colleagues have been carried away with this in their public statement. and i cannot call this diplomacy. and the u. k. prime minister has urged europe to hold them on ukraine's right to join names. i'm forrest johnson has been at the lines headquarters in brussels for talks. russia and belarus, meanwhile, have started joint military drills. the kremlin says, the 10 day exercise will focus on what it describes as repelling external aggression. ok, we have a team of correspondence covering the story across europe. step vast and is

standing by for us. even at the bellow rush and that capital means jonah hell is in london, but 1st let's go to dosa jabari, who's live for us in moscow. hello. they doza a significant meeting in moscow between trust and leverage. what time of their discussion? i think it became clear very quickly how i see the reception was between the 2 ministers at the russian foreign minister and the british horn, secretary of min meeting in the capital and their spell. speaking to the media following their hour and a half an hour meeting and, and the most interesting line that we've heard so far, i think, really explains where things stand at the moment the russian foreign minister says that london is not hearing moscow, a survey lover of even went on to say that the conversation he had with lis trust was like about ukraine was like having

a conversation between dumb and deaf. clearly the 2 ministers did not see. i do. i love saying that the issue of the number of russian troops within russia's territories kept coming up. and that is very regret, regrettable, because they don't have to answer to anyone where they move their own troops within their own boundaries. the british foreign secretary said that it is a sign that they need to see it from the russians. if they move their troops away from the ukrainian border, that will be something that it is an indication that they're interested in deescalate the other main points that came out of the in a press conference is that they, russian foreign minister said that because the united states and british government have decided to reduce their number of millet personnel in their embassies in ukraine. russia may even decide to do so, indicating that they could be something that they have to look at in the very near future. the only point they to seem to have agreed upon was that the reviving of

the 2015 iran nuclear deal, that is something there british and russians say that they are, hopefully will be a revived in the near future. otherwise, it's very clear that there is a huge gap between the 2 sides and it's only highlighted by this meeting today. ok . dosage of our love for us in moscow. thanks for bringing us up to spade. let's bring in jonah hall now who's live for us in london. and jonah is trust and lever of we're meeting you. k prime minister boris johnson has been in brussels. one of the developments from knighthood headquarters. what i brought, what we're saying here is a demonstration by the u. k, with its most senior politicians, that it is just as anxious as everybody else about developments on ukraine's border about the escalation by russia and it's aggression towards ukraine. and what they put together here is a sort of concerted united effort to demonstrate that. so you've had this trust with ra, telling russia that it has a choice either a part to piece or 2,

or if it chooses war, they will be a heavy price in the form of sanctions. on the other hand, you've got far as johnson in brussels, nato, alongside jim stopped, but not just him, but also the leader of the opposition. the political party as a whole offering. it's commitment to the alliance. it's commitment to the notion of collective european security, as well as far as johnson's message. pretty clear, but the founding principles, but they do aligns must be respected, that can be no compromise. potentially there really be president macro earlier in the week, who suggested that security guarantees ought, in fact, to be offered to mister bruton and russia. mister johnson unequivocal all nations must have the right to choose their security appliances and to aspire to nato membership. if they want and the principle of collective security must remain and apply among all nato allies, he said we must desist a return to the days when the fates of nations were determined by

a handful of great powers. an illusion, of course, to the cold war is a taste of what he had to say. this is probably the most dangerous moment i would say, and then in the course of the next few days in what is the biggest security crisis that europe and facebook for decades. and we've got to get it right. and i think that the combination of sanctions and military resolve class diplomacy is or what is in order. so mr. johnson, they're reiterating with the door to deploy. as he remains open, mister stuart berg standing beside him, said precisely the same thing. mistrust has taken the same message to moscow. diplomacy is the only way forward, just as russia continues to insist that he will not respond to ultimatums. okay, thank you very much for that update. janna ha,

live for us in london. let's head to the bell. russian capital means now we're step back in is standing by hello there. step as these diplomatic talks are going on. joint military drills are being held in southern beller is what more can you tell us about though it's well, definitely, well talk. so going on, the military is definitely flexing their muscles here. barrows and russian forces in an unprecedented scale. the kremlin has also admitted yesterday that this is not the regular exercise. it has not been scheduled and also kremlin sad because of this unprecedented threat to the board. us coming from day to the scale of this exercise. it's larger than usual natal chief silverberg side. it was around $30000.00 tropes from russia. got up here and bella was, nobody can confirm the speakers there. a secret ballot was as much lower than that, but sold the website. it's the largest contingent of russians invaluable since the

full war. and they're basically doing war games right now. they're citing the 2nd phase today. they're playing an invasion from ne, so it's right to talk about the russian president. that's the basically the scenario that they played at the border with a range of 50 kilometers away from that border and only 2 hours away from the capital of ukraine here. so there's a lot of speculation about these war games. is it like a smoke tween for maybe a possible invasion? are these really serious more games soldiers actually really going to leave that off? so this whole exercise is finished on february 20. all right, we'll make sure we keep it's up to date. if there's any developments that vessel my, for us in moving on now, boat is in india's most popular stage would have produced shy heading to the post the local elections. the ballot is an important test for a prime minister nor injure modi's, popularity without

the matter is in front of the high court yard. there was one judge that was listening to it. but now because of the severity of the issue, it is now being hard by 3 judges. one of which is as people have noticed, a muslim woman. now at the heart of it all, it is about interpreting constitutional rights, the right to freedom of expression. and the right to practice religion. these young women say that they have the right to wear the headscarf in the classroom. on the other hand, you have authorities from schools and colleges, backed by the state golf. when that say that the head start and other religious, the child violates the dress code. because schools and colleges have uniform, there has been hinder groups and other students aligned with these group to have a thought that the hindu identity by wearing saffron colored shaws and scarves and they've been marching. or, you know, saffron is the color that is considered wholly by many hindu and standoff between the 2 groups. basically that to the violence,

which is why you have the scene behind me. now, this issue has not logged into a large a debate about minority right. and women's rights and will only know where it goes once on the coach and it was the judgement. still a head don't. elgin iran, i'm john 100 on the u. s. canada border were protesting truckers are disrupting hundreds of millions of dollars in commerce every day. and a teenager, russian figure skater is back on the i sat the beijing olympics. i mean reports she's tested positive for a band substance. ah, ah, look forward to present to scully's with sponsored my cattle at ways. here we go again. tokyo, under a snowfall warning, hello everyone we're expecting had to 20 centimeters. now it's going to melt

to avenues now in libya is interim. prime minister has survived an assassination attempt. abdul hamid debarber escaped uninjured after his car was shot out in the capital tripling. it happened before a shadowed vote in parliament to replace him. to baber says he will ignore the vote . result for more in the story. let's bring in at malik trainer who is live for us in the capitol. malik, what more can you tell us about this assassination attempt? well, in the early mornings of thursday, around 2 30 am local time gunman attacked prime minister robert hamilton, variables, vehicle and sources close jobs. army debatable say that it was an assassination attempt. now we've received exclusive footage and what we can see is around 4 bullets. hit abdul hamid vehicle? it's a, it's an armored vehicle. so luckily he survived. and those around him. but you know,

authorities, you are saying are gonna launch an investigation. the sealants were able to get away, and really this is going to have a long time effect on libya, for the most part of the security situation in tripoli has, has gone without incidents like this. or, you know, foreign foreign delegates, senior officials, foreign ministers, even prime ministers from other countries have been able to come to libya or the government has painted that. you know, tripoli is safe, but so this is really a blow to libya's ability and credibility to host senior officials. so this lab longstanding affects when it comes to our senior officials visit in the country. and we're gonna have to wait to see the prime minister's office has yet to release an official statement. so we're gonna have to wait and see their reaction to the sensitive. and malik parliament is holding that vote for a new prime minister kindly. what impact will that pol have and what do you make the timing of it in relation to the assassination attempt?

well, i mean, it couldn't come at a worse time, this assassination 10th, or this incident couldn't happen in a worse time. a to day in eastern libya parliament session has just begun and, and the, it's expected that they will be voting in a new prime minister. there are 2 candidates within the parliament, a 100 albert, albert eulley and fet tabitha fed. he bazaar, the former minister of interior is expected to receive the most votes. the prime minister, the current prime minister of the hamid labor says he's not handing over power until elections are happening. i was remember that in december on december 24th elections were supposed to happen for the 1st round of presidential elections followed by pro parliamentary elections or were supposed to happen. that didn't happen because there are 2 legislative houses in libya, the parliament in eastern libya and the high council of state in western libya. and they couldn't come to an agreement on the rules and regulations governing the vote ubs. now that this new government,

or this new prime minister might be vote in his power, critics are saying that this will only pro long these legislative houses are over 2800000 libyans are registered to vote and wanted to exercise their right to vote in those they want in power are so, you know, critics are saying that this is not the time. let's focus on getting the rules and regulations set up and, and let libyans decide who they want and not extend this, this new prime ministers, if he gets elected today, a could bring libya back to square one, where we have 2 governments and libya, they're going to suffer because of this political divisions. so we're going to have to wait and see in the next coming hours are what happens in 2 brook in the next couple. and if the parliament will vote in this new pm, incredibly signaling and i can keep us abreast as to how things develop over the coming hours. malik malik china lie for us in tripling the satellite coalition in yemen, says

a dozen civilians have been aged after shrapnel landed in the vicinity of the ab ha international airport. sadie state media says the shrapnel comes from a healthy rebel launched drawn, intercepted and destroyed by the coalitions air defenses. drones strikes by the hoop. these have intensified in the past few weeks, including miss al, launches against the united arab emirates, to canada. now where the prime minister has called a growing protest movement against coven 19 measures, a threat to its economy truck has an ab locking invito border crossing with the united states. john hendern reports from the ambassador bridge between ontario and the u. s. state of michigan. on the american side of the busiest land crossing between the u. s. and canada, not a wheel is turning. traffic on the ambassador bridge had been stopped in both directions. now on the other side, from canada to the us, just a trickle of trucks is allowed through. on monday,

hundreds of angry truckers disrupted north america's most bustling international commercial connector and they say they'll keep it up until vaccine mandates and other covert 19 restrictions are abolished on both sides of the border in a heated exchange in canadas, parliament, time minister, just to to go and says, canada won't bully you can't. and a pandemic with blockades. you can end a panoramic by decreeing it, you can even ended by legislation. you need to ended with science. you need to ended with her. and even as canadians are tired and impatient for at the end, we're going to continue to be there for them to support them through it. and to make sure we do everything necessary to end her. oh, the protesting truckers say they'll continue their blockade as long as it takes so

far, police have been reticent to cleared the roads as domino effect when to stop adding up with these guys. to save 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 the confrontation between police and protesting truckers increases in the us. and in canada, patience is wearing thin, be resolved one way or the other. not saying that i just suggest that you know, when the battering rams and police officers that may not be the solution. but there has to be a resolution to get the pricing on that sort of 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
