aggression. ukraine, meanwhile, has started holding military drills for the same period. russia's foreign minister sag elaborate, welcome the case, foreign secretary in moscow. earlier this tri says moscow must back up its words of peace with action lab, rob says british and nato troops build up in eastern europe, threatens russia. know what lee? she, other she any. unlike maneuvers that russia holds in its own territory when their tubes go back to their basis. western troops far from their own territory of u. k. the us and canada, their troops go to the baltics and the black sea. and they never go back to their bases or go home, you still medulla. have we done something that is not part of our sovereign right? something we're entitled to do in our own country. if russia is serious about diplomacy, they need to move those troops and desist from the threats. now, if we are able to follow a passive diplomacy,

a nato has put offer on the table for talks to improve transparency, to improve confidence between the parties. then there are all hopes of a better future. and the u. k. foreign minister has urged europe to hold firm on ukraine's right to join nato, for his johnston has been at the alliance for headquarters in brussels for talks with nato secretary general insult and bark. while we have 3 correspondence on this story, this, our natasha butler is in ukraine's capital kia with the latest dose jibari will have the latest on the diplomatic efforts and initiatives in russia capital moscow . but 1st we go to boston, who's in min scare, a better uses capital. those military drills underway between russia and bela ruth in southern better rules. tell us more about what they involve and how much more do they add to the current tensions?

well, definitely a russia is flexing its military muscle right here in ballard. so gramlin has already confirmed that this is not the usual exercise. this exercise sold allied resolve for basically defending the union state, which involves rush and barrels against what they say is a nato, a imminent attack, from inside. it's an unprecedented threat to the territory and that's why the scale of this exercise is much larger than the usual exercise as these countries will hold. normally, nato chief has estimated their 30000 russian troops. forces are here now in ballard roast. that would be the largest deployment of russian troop since the end of the cold war. and they're holding officially war games. basically, a scenario that balance is being attacked by nato and its leader is being toppled. but this is all happening, just 50 kilometers away from the ukranian border. and so i was away from ukraine's

capital g f. we have to call you fight a shadow involved to as 400 missile defense systems. it's a large operation. and as you said, russia bowers are saying, this is just an exercise news for us. we'll go home after february 20, but is a lot of speculation if this just maybe a smoke screen for a real attack. so there's a lot of anxiety about these exercises. so, so to say, indeed, tell us more step about bella bruce, his role in this crisis back in 2014. that a roof seemed to be neutral when, when the russians invaded crimea and onyx crimea. how firm an ally is speller was his president, alexander lucas shanker, in the current crisis between russia and ukraine. this is very interesting. of course. as you say, look, osh ankle is always neutral, was playing sort of a piece keeper until to in 2014. when no russia invaded crimea,

you never wanted to endorse that annexation. but a situation has completely changed since his position internationally is completely isolated and weak. and he is, of course, been accused of frauding his re election in 2020 the work possessions of mass human rights violations during a crack down here in belarus. hughes under serious. so sanction, sir, by the you. so he has turned to vladimir putin for help. and now this is pay back time wanted can apparently do whatever he wants here in ballard. samson troops here use this soil, this land for any plans that russia might have. so that's the situation of alex on the lucas, our goal is clearly a prodigy of president putin. thank you for that said boss in life or i stay in minsk live now to natasha butler in care of natasha housing. use of these latest military exercises between bruce and russia being viewed in ukraine

will the president of ukraine overload him, is lensky was meeting european business leaders here in care of a short while ago. and he said that ukraine has the force of the weapons that it needs to defend itself. and he said, what's important is the people in ukraine keep working carry on with their daily lives. we've been speaking to people as well in the city to find out how they feel about those military exercises happening. and but arisen one man told us that he feels that this is russia putting on a show for the west that he doesn't really affect people in ukraine. he doesn't feel that the country is being threatened, that this is all just a bit of theater put on by the kremlin, but we spoke to other people. we spoke to one woman who said that she's very worried indeed, she feels anxious. she has a documents ready to flee the city if she needs to, because what you need to know is that no key as is

a is less than 200 kilometers away from that border with belarus, it is very close. indeed, if you like, and some people here all worried about a possible attack, they all worried about a possible invasion. even though this is far from being a city on the siege. people are very much going about their daily business because as they have said repeatedly, look, we have been a war with russia for 8 years now. so that threat is always loomed large. natasha, thank you for it. natasha butler live in the ukrainian capital key of and now over to door. so jabari in moscow door such as these great drills get underway. a whirlwind of diplomacy in the last few days have the talks in moscow today between the u. case, foreign secretary and russia's foreign minister moved the situation on anything i think i can safely say they've actually made things worse. the british foreign secretary came here with

a few lists of demands that she was going to make of the russian officials to try and get them to de escalate the current situation. this dress came to moscow and saying that she wanted one of her 1st objective was to make it very clear that the sanctions package that the british government has on stand by should russia this are to invade ukraine is going to not only affect russia's economy, but also, president vladimir putin is inner circle and their holdings in the u. k. the 2nd point that she had was that the russia has a chance de escalate the situation. she has put all the owners of what has taken place over the past few weeks on russian shoulder saying that they are the ones that are going to have to show by removing some of their troops alongside the ukrainian border. further back away from that border to show that they're interested in, di escalating. now, the russian foreign minister was not having any of that. he said after an hour and a half meeting at a press conference that the conversation he had with his british counterpart was that conversation between deaf and dumb, basically. and that they,

a rhetoric that was coming from london was not conducive to dialogue. they don't consider that diplomacy. oliver of said that london is not hearing moscow and it became very clear, very quickly. the 2 officials were not even looking at each other at the press conference was very much icey atmosphere in that room. and we all saw it. i think a lot of analysts said of is saying that her trip actually has done more damage than good. and she's the 1st foreign secretary to visit moscow in 5 years. and i think we are now understand why the relationship has been straight, and it's clear now that they have a long way to go before they can even call that a friendship. at this stage, the foreign minister said that despite their meeting, there are still a russian officials are still open to dialogue and they want their security demands met or at least address. now we also have the british defense secretary, who will be traveling to moscow on friday and hoping that his trip will go much

better than the foreign secretary did today. thank you for that daughter jabari live in moscow. hey, neither world news neither found. the lead coalition in yemen says 12 civilians have been injured in a drone attack on an airport in the south of the kingdom. same media says the drone was intercepted and destroyed by ad defenses. falling debris reportedly injured travelers and workers at the airport. drone strikes by the who fees have intensified in the last few weeks, including miss i launches against the united arab emirates. libby as parliament has voted to replace the entering prime minister abdul hamid de biber. the former interior minister fatty by shonda has been named his successor. the challenge should be as unity guffman comes hours after the bible survived in fascination, attempt his cape uninjured. when his car was shot in tripoli, the bible says he'll ignore attempts to remove him. malik trina is my correspondent in libby as capital tripoli, molig a new entry and prime minister announced by the parliament in libya. tell us more

about who he is and how likely that he'll actually take office. well said he besser is considered by many western libya, strong men as the minister of interior. he took a very strong stance against malicious and armed groups. of people here feel are some people here feel that he may, he may be able to create more stability within the security apparatus. give more credibility to a police force of fight against the, the militias that are scared across the country out what this means in terms of you know, balance of power. the, the current prime minister abdul hamid the baby hasn't really been able to take control of eastern libya and eastern libya is controlled by the a strong warlord. khalifa, huffstutter, who in 2019 launched

a military offensive against the capital in a bit to take over the country. ah said he bushes are recently and maybe about 6 weeks ago i've visited her before after there seems to be some kind of understanding or so people that support a support fatty bush either will say that a he's more likely to create a balance of power within the security institutions, the military specifically are but there are those that are against it. there are those that are against this, this move by the parliament. some people say that this will only extend the mandate of libya's right arrival, legislative houses, the parliament and the high council estate here in western libya. you know, just in december, there was an election supposed to take place, or that was postponed. and with this new government or you know, the libyans are not likely to be able to cast their vote up for the next year or year and a half so. so you know, that really it's

a little bit of disappointment and some are hopeful, but really it's libya's at the moment, pretty divided it into a prime minister to buy her said he will, i resist attempts to remove him and he survived an assassination attempt earlier today. when do we know happened? well that's right. source is close to up the hamid the neighbor told us that that an armed men attacked his vehicle. uh last night, late late last night around 2 30 am. his vehicle was as an armored vehicle, we were able to receive exclusive footage of the aftermath of that attack. the sailors got away. ah. so, i mean, really, this creates a, a huge issue for libya, especially in terms of its credibility, in a foreign delegations, foreign ministers of foreign ministers. even prime ministers have been able to visit libya to meet with senior officials or without any incident for the last couple of years. so this may raise some questions as to, you know,

how can the security services here ensure the safety of foreign, our diplomats, and foreign officials and, and yet again, you touched upon our prime minister after had been debated, has said that he is not going to hand over power until elections happen. will this government will, will we now see to governments and libya? i mean, we, you know, people hope that if that's a was i was going to come into powered be a smooth transition. but you know, according to prime minister to baber, it's not going to be that easy. so we're gonna have to wait and see in the next couple of, of hours, maybe even days and weeks and what really happens. thank you for that. malik train at live in tripoli, fennimore had on this al jazeera and use our, including the cost of conflicts, uganda in order to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to democratic republic of congo. ross. we take you to indonesia, where police have been condemned for cracking down on villages fighting to save their lives to hers. and just a few days before the super bowl,

other covert 19 restrictions are abolished on both sides of the border in a heated exchange in canada's parliament or time minister just to to go and see canada won't bully you can't end upin demik with blockades. you can and a plan damage by decreeing it, you can even ended by legislation. you need to ended with science. you need to end it 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 an the, the protesting truckers say they'll continue their blockade as long as it takes so far, police have been reticent, declared the roads to domino effect, which is stuff added up those guys for

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, when the battering rams and, and the 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 france and belgium have banned a so called freedom convoy of cars this weekend. inspired by the truck is located in canada, drivers, demanding,

one vote election, but that didn't get off the ground. and so instead it's reverted to the previous system by which klan representative select m. p. 's and then m. p 's intern select will vote on the president, but it's still repeatedly over the last 14 months. we saw fighting on the streets of mogadishu a year ago between dom, the opposition and security for the following substantial pressure applied a month ago from the u. s. and the u. k who provide military support to the small government has redeemed the theories of ongoing meetings happening in various provinces across the country. a lot of horse trading going on behind the scenes of clam delegates try to reach a consensus on who they will appoint as m p to represent them. and people who are close to the process say that almost certainly very large amounts of cash will be changing hands as part of this process. welcome. thank you for that update malcolm

way but live in and i robi, meanwhile, save the children face. somalia is experiencing its worst drought in a decade. in november, the charity found 60 percent of households had at least one person who lost their source of income, mostly because of the death of livestock. and more than a 3rd of families included at least one person going without food for more than a 20 fly period. it says 4600000 families will phase crisis. the emergency level food shortages until may. and the us has only been able to raise 2 percent of his age target. early i spoke to mom wouldn't harm in our son who's the somalia country director for save the children. he says, a lack of humanitarian funding is putting more people at risk. i think if we combat the last 2 severe drought with this one, this one and i think it's very serious because of the number of the people are connected and the number of lifeboats lost by the community because of the drug in

a 27 p. about 6 point about i think 66700000 people who are in need of fremont 8 in the system. that number has now grown to point 7. many of the difference is that more people i need to i didn't support that. it was in 20201722 into one. the number was even smaller, but the human teddy and her family has to be late, and that has been the death of a quarter 1000000 people. and this is what we are getting now under his arm on time . this number of people who are in need to increase grade last year. i think to a great extent, this is contributing to the watson and tuition because the political situation is now i'm the election to be late. i think most of the holding back by me because

of the current frequency tuition, 205000 people, i've already been displaced. 70 percent of the family, i not able to feed that killed in children and women remained the most affected voters in india. the most popular state author pradesh are heading to the polls for local elections. the ballot is an important test for prime minister and render modi's popularity with alter per dash, accounting for 80 seats in parliament. o d, b, j. p one. the last 8 election in 2017, the parties image has been hurt by strong opposition to its now abandoned forming reforms. meanwhile, schools in india, southern karnataka state continued to be closed after confrontations following a ban on women's head scarves. the move swamps protests from muslim students earlier this week who say they're being discriminated against. they were met with counter demonstrations from hindus who support the bye. bargaining baton has more

our top stories, russia and bella russo started joint military trails near ukraine's border. the kremlin says, the exercises will focus on what it calls to pricing and repelling external aggression. may be, as parliament has voted to replace the trim prime minister abdul had made to buy by with the former interior minister. it came hours after the bible survived an assassination attempt and at least 6 people have been killed and a dozen more injured in an explosion in somalia. capital mogadishu authorities believe a suicide bomber was targeting a convoy of delegates administering the ongoing elections. we're now on our top story in the tensions between ukraine and russia. ukraine says the presence of russian war ships in the block c and as off see for war games are part of a hybrid war. that is making navigation impossible. ukraine accuses moscow of trying to brock trade roads by setting up what caused the de facto bouquets at a southern ports. it's one of the world's leading exporters of steel, grain,

and sunflower. as john stratford reports, ukrainian fishermen say they're living in fear of being arrested and interrogated by russian intelligence. the freezing foggy stick speed out across the sea, crimea, which was annexed by russian forces 8 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 the entrance to the black sea where he was interrogated and held the 15 days before being released. lot of the food 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 troll 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 we'll see that 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 as 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 or crimea fuel fears that the criminal is preparing to invade ukraine by sea. something russia continues to deny. green, last 70 percent of its belief. when russia sees control of crimea and sylvester pole, 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 regardless of the unless of course i'm worried. we go far out to sea. we might not come back, it's good as the russians inform our families that they've taken us. but there are many instances when they file forged cases against us. and the risk being put in a russian prison for you, me is a fish market. try to say they are feeling the financial for well to 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 fish and industry suffering. and that means we do to we repeatedly asked the ukrainian navy for comment about how it can better protect fishermen from what the government calls russian aggression with the navy refused because of what it says are security issues. unsolved is afraid of phishing these icey waters in the weeks ahead. i see now increasingly under russian control charts rapid al jazeera, the as i'll see, some ukraine the u. s. is said to trial a program where migrants and refugees caught at the border with mexico placed into so called home curfew. it seemed to be a cheaper alternative than detention centers, but the move has been criticized by ryan schools. a state prison joe biden has failed to deliver on his promises of more humane detention measures. robin was

right for some the sensuous sharla with death in 2020. as the coven 19 pandemic raged migrants in u. s. government detention facilities in california, protested and went to court over dangerous conditions in a final settlement reached late last month. the federal immigration enforcement agency, ice and private for profit prison corporations agreed to safety, protections for detainees, including cobra, vaccinations and limits on detainee populations, unsanitary conditions and indifferent guards at a rural county jail under contract with ice were experienced by immigration detainee and asylum seeker jo maria, there was feces and i year. ready in and i was just bad situation, it is really hard for us to get clean supplies. we'd see some of the guards would come in and they'd be sick and have a cold the next, you know,

they offer to 3 weeks and we come to find out that some of the guards were actually obeyed. and they weren't taking any precautions to help us out or keep us safe. ah, the american civil liberties union, one ruling that freed hundreds of detainees wall awaiting asylum hearings. we filed the lawsuit because it was clear from the outset that when coven began to spread ice and g o group, it's, it's private for profit contractor. we're putting people at great risk out of serious harm and death. geo group is contracted by ice to hold detainees, it runs more than 100 prisons processing centers and other facilities. last year, president joe biden issued an order facing out contracts between the justice department and private for profit prisons, but that order didn't cover immigrant detainees. we've been deeply disappointed by how things have played out throughout his campaign bite and promised to end the use

of for profit detention by the federal government, including for undocumented and grants. and us would have a huge impact on the ice detention system, of course, because on nearly 80 percent of people who are in ice detention are in facilities that are privately operated. as large numbers of migrants are expected at the us mexico border in the coming months, the by the administration informed congress this week it will use a home curfew program as an alternative to incarceration. now awaiting an asylum. hearing me here cannot forgive how he was treated in detention. it is treated worse than animals in all people treat their pets way better than what we were being treated. nearly $21000.00 migrants are currently locked up in ice and privately run . prisons, rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles, the usa to california suing com, manufacturer, tesla full, racial discrimination. hundreds of black employees in san francisco complained to the department of fame ploy meant it took on the case,
