should leave. now, we're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. it's a very different situation and things could go crazy quickly. and hardy's ok, so it has more from washington d. c. this is an interview that president biden gave to nbc news. he said essentially that americans should leave ukraine now because in the case of a russian invasion, he said there would be no scenario that he would order us troops into rescue the stranded americans. because in his words, he said that would be a world war americans and russians shooting at each other. and he said there is no scenario he would allow that to happen. the president's words, echoing a very similar warning issue by the us state department, also today, which told american citizens to leave ukraine now using private or commercial means, again, reiterating that the u. s. would not be going in to help americans leave after the

fact. if russia does invade, of course this is all coming after us intelligence assessment has found that more than $100000.00 resident troops have amassed near the border with ukraine, with fear that they will achieve full capacity to invade the country by february 15th, which is something that russia denies. present. biden's warning comes as russian and bellow recent troops begin joint military drills. nato estimates $30000.00 russian soldiers taking part in the largest deployment. the ex soviet state. since the cold war was some house where the drills could be used as an opportunity to attack ukraine, set valves and reports from the belly recent capital minsk, russia flexing its military muscle, just 50 kilometers from the bela russian border with ukraine. 4 weeks troops have been arriving even from russia as far east than 1000 kilometers away. it is clear that is as far bigger than previous military exercises by russian officials have

not disclosed a number of soldiers. info. nato speaks of 30000. if you consider that an invasion of a large territory like ukraine is in, quote, his interest to has a chance to attack from the south from marine. and it's a crime your forces from the east, from russian soil and from the north in a joint action of russia and it's ally bellows. so. ready militarily speaking, it couldn't be any better. footage released by russian ministry of defense show tanks and metal launches being used in the drills and military jets in the ear. from the bellow russian border, which ukraine, it is less than a 2 hour drive to the capital kia was on lead of worry if this is a serious drill or a ploy for real attack. for the next 10 days, the world's eyes will be on the largest russian contingent on borrow,

some soil in decades. a possible 2nd front for vladimir put a new will make use of the isolated and international weak position of his prodigy, alexander lucas. shanker. lucas shanghai came under, sanctioned from the west after you was accused of election fraud and a violent crack down on the opposition. while the bellow should leader has always trust the independence of bellows and refrained from condoning, put in military actions in crimea and eastern ukraine. yes, now turn to the russian leader for health. good. it's a book, not for me. little does you for a military force. he's always left bella luce, after the end of an exercise right now with of a more participants and the rhetoric is aggressive. i think location because attitude is caused by his annoyance with the west. the fact doesn't recognize him as a legitimate leader. he believes russian talks will eventually leave asset at rails finish on february 20 until dan speculation about the real purpose of this show of

force will likely continue. steadfast and al jazeera in men's talk to attain ukraine in russia. aimed at resolving the conflict in east and ukraine, ended without progress. officials met in berlin for the so called normandy format talks mediated by france and germany zulu, which unfortunately, almost 9 hours of talks have ended without any significant results formed in documents. but this could be the goal, so we hope that the ukranian authority will have enough prudence not to launch combat actions against their own citizens on the other side of the contact line possible. but while ukraine agreed, there was no breakthrough, it's envoy sounded a bit more positive. dr. not sure neos business to you. yesterday we have disagreements. it's yes, there are issues which have to be coordinated, but there is a will to continue and there is a will to negotiate. this is the key thing. so it was a more no there's, there's color, obviously, without the escalation,

without withdrawal of russian troops from our borders. one cannot speak of comp that the situation can be calmed. but we, the president and our team are working 247 to make it happen. he's more libby as parliament voted to replace the inter in prime minister abdul hamid to baber. the former interior minister fatty basha has been named his successor, but de baber says he won't hand over power until the elections are held. malik, trainer, now, report from libya in the eastern city of 2 brook, i live his parliament selected a new prime minister that he bossa was voted into office unanimously. he arrived in tripoli on thursday night and was received by hundreds of people. the former interior minister is widely seen as western libya, strong men, and he's got the backing of powerful orn groups across the country. including warlord fully for half tres self proclaimed libyan national army or elani,

correct? yes, the short answer is yes. to be both main task as in term, prime minister was to hold elections, but the country has to rival legislatures, the parliament in the east and high council state in the west. in december, the vote was postponed because they couldn't agree on the rules for holding it. job realist weighs a political analyst and says, changing the government now will only prolong the conflict with the customer. lemonade in a alimentary leg are the best solution to the contract because it ends the mandate of the rival legislative houses. it's clear the parliament and high council of state are blocking the way and don't want elections in order to stay in power. as a major political figure from libby as west west support. busy from the way warlord in the country, if he was a believe he can bring libya the government back together. but with the un and other powers refusing to recognise them as prime minister, whether he can bring stability to the country or even take office. both remain very

port huron, michigan, and the canadian city of sarnia. at the blue water bridge, these trucks are getting across to canada, but wait times have been up to 3 hours and traffic crawls. and that's likely to continue. as long as the truckers blockade goes on and politicians seem unwilling to crack down. we are canadian prime minister justin trudeau insist canada will follow the science. not only are canadians hired of this hand demik ah, the challenges facing there also, of course tired of the restrictions hired the rule, hired of the local. that is understandable. but you know what helps lift restrictions, you know, it helps move beyond a walk down, vaccinations with some canadian provinces including alberta and saskatchewan, had eased covered rules in quebec. and prince edward island announced plans to do the same. but with plans for a freedom convoy in the us, the truckers protests show no sign of vending. john henderson al jazeera,

exacerbated by moscow's latest move, military exercises in belarus. less than 200 kilometers from here. but not every one is worried for many daily life is a bigger concern than the kremlin. i think that russia bill are so the most like doing this exercise is for the world through her dialect with russian mostly like not, not to make it worse because they're not interested. there's only more signal phosphate which they're capable of attacking. they want to attack, but would they dare with they really do us more nearly 8 years of conflict to ukraine's east of cast a long shadow. but most hope that the going diplomatic efforts who put a di escalation in sight, the latest crisis. natasha butler, al jazeera, kia look up the child against believe he is a former inter him president. janine and yes, has been suspended by court and above. and he is accused of orchestrating the removal of her predecessor, even morales. she faces more than

and the collar was recognized as vulnerable to extinction in 2012 and in just a short space of time. since then we've had really steep declines in the species numbers on the east coast of australia. so now it's been listed as endangered, recognizing that sadly, it's even closer to extinction. but are we past the point of no return? no, we're not. and the listing today is really important to give the species that legal recognition. but what needs to follow is really strong regulatory protection for the corolla. and the government has recently committed more money. we have the legal and status as endangered now. they're really good parts of the equation, but what's missing is the stronger regulatory protection. so while as need stronger laws and they need and regulations that prevent a clearing of the habitat, which is a key threat for that clearing the habits are bad, sir. ok,

stronger protection, there's a lot of environmentalists, they're going to say that's a great idea, but they'll be also a lot of business leaders. a lot of people say, well actually i'm, that's not going to work for us because we need the land for farming. we need that land for australia's own domestic needs and for our international exports. there's 2 different fights going on there. actually it's enough's enough, said the client, really if we want carlos to survive and decade into the future, then we need to draw some lines around our habitat. we need to draw some lines around it and say, developments not appropriate here. carlos need this habitat to survive, and we need to designate where an development ongoing development is appropriate. and it's not beyond the wit of the australian government to do that. so that's what we're really calling on and each day because she's a really sad day to have our beloved emblematic, iconic species listed as endangered. that has to be a turning point. and we need to see greater political world protect, tats,
