war games. russians, foreign minister, sergey lover of held talks with the u. k. foreign secretary in moscow, loughborough says british and nato truitt build up in eastern europe, threatens russia. moore. what lee? she would sheeny, unlike maneuvers that russia holds in its own territory when their troops go back to their bases. the western troops far from their own territory, lou kay, the us and canada, their troops go to the baltics in the black sea, and they never go back to their bases or go home. you still with eulu, have we done something that is not part of our sovereign, rightly something we're entitled to do in our own country. you know, if russia is serious about to play missy, they need to move these trips and desist from the threats. now if we are able to follow a path of diplomacy and nato has put offer on the table for talks to improve transparency, to improve confidence between the parties. then there are hopes of

a better future. and britain's prime minister, as urged europe to hold firm on ukraine's right to join nato. boris johnson has been at the alliance headquarters in brussels for talks was to vaskins in the bell, russian capital minns. with more on the start of rushes, military drills. russia is flexing its military muscle right here in ballard. scrambling has already confirmed that this is not the usual exercise. this exercise sold allied resolve for basically defending the unions to state which involves rush and barrels against what they say is a nato, a imminent attack, or the prominence added to an unprecedented threat to the territory. and that's why this gain of this exercise is much larger than the usual exercise is 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 bella, luce, is being attacked by nato and its leader is being top of, but this is all happening to us. 50 kilometers away from the ukranian border and 2 hours away from ukraine's capital. here we have to fight a shadow involved to ask for 100 missile defense systems. it's a large operation. and as you said, russia and ballard was saying, this is just an exercise news for us. we'll go home after february 20, but there's a lot of speculation if this just maybe a small screen for a real attack. so there's a lot of anxiety about these exercises so, so to say, natasha partisan kiev and she says most ukrainians aren't expecting an invasion or the president of ukraine of lord m is lensky, was meeting european business leaders, hair and care

a short while ago. and he said that ukraine has the force and the weapons that it needs to defend itself. and he said, was important is that people in ukraine keep working carryon out 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 are happening and better versus one man told us that he feels that this is russia putting on a show for the west that it 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, but on a, 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, you know, kia is, is less than 200 kilometers away from that border with belarus. it is for a close indeed, if you like, and some people here all worried about a possible attack. they are worried about a possible invasion,

even though this is far from being a city under siege. people are very much going about their daily business because as they have said repeatedly, look, we have been at war with russia for 8 years now. so that threat is always loomed large and also to bodies in moscow. and she says the visit by liz trust, mitre worse relations with russia. 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 trust 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 decide to invade ukraine is going to not only affect russia's economy, but also president vladimir putin's inner circle and their holdings in the u. k. the 2nd point she had was that the russia has a chance to deescalate 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 a 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 music, basically. and at the, a rhetoric that was coming from london was not conducive to dialogue. they don't consider that diplomacy at lover 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 i see atmosphere in that room. and we all saw it, i think a lot of analysts, i've been 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 there they have a long way to go before they can even call that a friendship at this stage. says is president case said has announced the supreme judicial council is going to be dissolved, it was responsible for ensuring the independence of the judiciary. i said, says it's become a thing of the past. is the latest news? here's a decision, said's taken since sacking. the government in suspending parliament in july libya's parliament has appointed father of a chicago to replace the interim prime minister, which i got used to be the interior minister, and he said to take over from other homemade debarber. earlier. the baby survived an assassination attempt and tripoli he escaped uninjured when his car was shot at or monitoring his life for us in tripoli. malik, what do we know about the and new prime minister? while since he bizarre was the former minister of interior and when he was when he took on the raw, he took a strong stance against malicious and armed groups. and that really helped us

build the police force. so his thought to have given credibility to the police force to the state institutions like the security apparatus. ah, that, that gave him a lot of support. especially here in tripoli and amongst the international community. so he seen as western libya, a strong man. now, prime minister, the beaver just just a few days ago or in a video statement said that he would not hand overpowers those bushes as path towards the prime minister. going to be easy. well that's, we're going to have to wait and see. you know, there's, there's 2 issues here right before the debate, as government came into power to lead the country to elections. are thou supposed to take place in december? or that never happened because of the disagreements on the rules and regulations of the vote between libya's rival legislative houses are the parliament in eastern libya and the i council state here in the west. i. so now that the parliament has

voted in this of 50 but other as prime minister, we're gonna have to wait and see if the high council state also approves the move. ah, but really bizarre, that now has 30 positions 30 ministers that he can appoint when he makes up this cabinet to sort of, you know, get people's blessing. so he'll, he'll give, you know, the minister that the ministry of transportation to this, this political group so that they'll approve him a, you know, he'll give the, the, the ministry of defense to, or someone that the calling for after approves of are. so there's, there's chances that he can build, build up or the, the rival legislative houses to move a forward to, to become the new prime minister. or we're gonna have to wait and see for the weeks for the days, weeks and months ahead. how smooth the transition is. yeah, monogram just mentioning earlier that are the homemade to baber had survived an

assassination attempt. what more do we know about that? well, definitely sources closer to hamid the waiver or definitely painting this as an assassination. attempt a source close to a de baber or we talked to said that around 2 30 am in the morning as de baber was going home. he was attacked by gunman or we receive exclusive footage. and you can clearly tell in the video where the bullets attacked or, you know, right over the drivers are the driver steering wheel. so really close car. and it just shows it just shows how fluid the security situation. he is here in the capital. you know, the government's been painting this picture that tripoli is safe. we've, for the most part, for the last couple of years, a libya has been able to receive foreign officials foreign delegations without any incident. but this is a blow to levine credibility, right?

so if they can't secure the prime minister, you know, people are going to start to 2nd guess, especially foreign officials, or if the security apparatus can insure their safety when they come visit live in officials here. my thank you very much. that's mag trina, talking to us from tripoli. saudi arabia's warned. it's going to bomb hootie sites in santa, and has told civilians to evacuate areas used for military purposes. and comes after 12 people reported the injured by falling debris at the up high international airport. when a dorm was intercepted by air defenses, the coalition says it's inexcusable that who the rebels deliberately targeted a civilian airport. drone strikes by the could these have intensified in the last few weeks. i suspected suicide bomber has killed at least 6 people in somalia. 12 others were wandered by the blasts in the capital market issue. it's not delegates involved in the ongoing parliamentary elections of the target market. webs in the kenyan capital nairobi with more details and what led to the explosion in mogadishu?

blast and the capital market issue. okay, let's go back to our top story on russia and ukraine. nato security general is wanting that europe is at a dangerous moment as russian troops build up at the border with ukraine. but jane stoughton bo says the military alliance is committed to finding a political solution. let's take a look at nato's biggest military interventions. to this day to afghanistan remains nato's largest operation. the military alliance took charge of gaston in 2003, following the u. s. invasion in 20 or one. it was one of the biggest international crisis management's conducted in history. a 2011 at nato backed uprising in libya, overthrew and killed veteran leader marble gadhafi. a 7 month military intervention involved $260.00 aircraft and $21.00 ships. and following the breakup of yugoslavia in 1992 nato carried out an 11 week bombing campaign, killing around 2 and a half 1000 civilians. in 1995,

it started deploying tens of thousands of un mandated troops. the operation officially ended in 2004 or 2. he's a fallon's, a former member of the strategic advisors group to natal. she says the military allies has changed since it last carried out a major deployment countries in the central new singer. it because they feared rossa asked for membership. so this started this period of expanding nato membership for countries who asked to be members, they didn't ask to join nato to fight rosa, but actually to be protected from russia. so i would say that would be the biggest change right now. you can is not a member of nato. what's happening now is that some of forces are being sent as an arm of reassurance to nato members. but there are no nato countries sending soldiers to ukraine and all. so everyone is, is kind of bolstering their presence in a wheat and c position. and the u. s. has sense weapons and trainers,

but no one is sending soldiers. inflation in the u. s. has had its highest level and for decades the consumer price index rose by 7.5 percent over the 12 months to january energy cost. so the biggest jump, fair up, 27 percent as president joe biden says, forecast show inflation will ease by the end of the year. a figures has strengthened expectations that the u. s. central bank, the federal reserve or raise rates as early as march the u. s. a set a trial, a program or migrant. some refugees call to the border with mexico were placed into so called home curfew. it's deemed to be a cheaper alternative than detention centers, but the move has been criticized by rights groups. rob ronald supports from los angeles is turned out in 2020 years. the cobra 19 pandemic rage migrants in the u. s. government detention facilities in california protested and went to court over dangerous conditions in
