active when everyone is protected, it is not to play, being nationalistic about just you just look at it in a very different way. say that perspective men and med meeting each other and they don't have any pollution. let me put it clear for you this dream on al jazeera. ah, we're dealing with one of the largest armies in the world. this is a very different situation where things can go crazy quickly. you as president joe biden urges americans to leave ukraine immediately. washington warns of a possible russian invasion at any time. ah, hello, i'm emily. ang, when this is al jazeera alive from dough house are coming up. the ukraine crisis in china is expanding, influence dominate talks between foreign ministers from the u. s. lead quad

security block in australia. olympic officials confirm a russian figure skater tested positive for a band drug before the games. a court will now decide if she can keep competing. i will tell you about a new tax on electronic payments. that's dividing opinion in ghana. ah, we begin the program with a warning from the us that russia has deployed more troops to the border with ukraine raising fees. it could in vain. u. s. president joe biden says things could get crazy quickly, and he's urging american citizens to leave ukraine immediate lame. the crisis has also been discussed in australia and a meeting of foreign ministers from the u. s. lead quoted security blog, u. s. foreign secretary antony blinking had this warning simply put,

we continue to see very troubling signs of russian escalation, including new forces arriving at the ukrainian border. and as we said before, we're in a window, when an invasion could begin at any time. and to be clear that includes during the olympics more us soldiers have been arriving at an air base in romania, an anchor member bordering ukraine, speaking alongside romania as president, the nato secretary general said the lines would consider a longer term presence in southeast in europe, in the coming months and as tensions, rives a russia back separatists later in eastern new crime, as by the government in kiev for raising the stakes by moving military hardway for more on this. so let's bring in the dosage of ari who's alive for us in moscow. hello, their daughter, the us president has said things will get crazy quickly. what's been the kremlin

response to that? well, the kremlin has not officially made any comments about what joe biden has said, but the general sense here is that things are already very much out of control because this kind of rhetoric coming from the united states officials is really what is creating havoc and chaos in this entire situation and why we're in that place where we're in now, according to the russians, the americans are clearly not interested in di, escalating the situation by sending more troops or mil at more military a to ukraine. and by officials in nato saying that they're going to make it more of a permanent presence in the eastern flank of europe. and these are all reasons why russia feels that their security is very much under threats. and that said, nobody's really talking to russian officials about the security concerns that they have russian officials and that the president vladimir putin has said over and over again that those countries not interested in invading ukraine. and this talk that

is coming from western powers is really just that talk and they're trying to entice a russia into some kind of a conflict for ortho. there are plenty of moving parts to this story. the latest is the u. k. defense secretary is now in moscow where you are, what sort of reception is he likely to receive? well, it's hard to stay at this stage because things could not have gone worse after this trust the british foreign secretary visit at moscow on thursday. her trip was one of the worst in probably this countries for ministry history with a british counterpart. many of the local newspapers are saying that if she was a man, there would have been a fist fight between her and sir la for all that. because that you certainly did not seem to get on and see eye to eye on anything. and the russian foreign minister asked her the trust about russia's sovereign right over to regions in the country.

and she very clearly have no idea about the geography of this country. and she said that she doesn't recognize those 2 specific regions as part of russia and then the british ambassador i had to step in and correct her. so there is a sense that she really was not prepared. and serbia lover upset, it was like a minute versus speaking to a death person and really her trip did more damage than good. and now the british defense secretary will certainly have his work cut out for him. he will be meeting his russian counterparts in the coming hours, so we'll just have to wait and see how that meeting goes. well, oh certainly be interesting. thank you very much. dosa jabari bring us up to say they in moscow. ok, let's head to natasha butler now. who's standing by for us in a kia and covering developments from their natasha americans are being told to leave ukraine. russia says this is whipping up hysteria. what's been the reaction among ukrainians?

you know, what's interesting is just a few days ago, we were talking about a sense of hope, a sense of optimism because of the stepped up diplomatic efforts that have been happening in k as in moscow. but now we're in a situation where things seem to suddenly taken a downhill turn. you have you as president joe biden urging americans to leave ukraine right now. you have the russian foreign minister survey laughter off saying that perhaps russia would pull out. it's non essential diplomatic style from the country. i knew craning government furious once again with moscow accusing the kremlin over hybrid war because the kremlin has started 5 days off at naval exercise. in the black, grey, rounded effect by russian forces, east of the country along that border to the north in the russian military cap. cuz

we are just losing coverage there with natasha. but she filed this report a short time ago. ukraine's front line may be far from the shooting range in the capital, kiev, but is never, far from the mind of leonid or stout. save a veteran of the conflict in the east of the country where ukrainian forces are fighting russian backed separatists. he fears russia could attack once again, because he doesn't trust vladimir putin. he can do whatever he wants. as to the president by the say that it's a boy was a nuclear weapon was all france and i agree with him 100 percent. his like a little dictator unit says people must learn to protect themselves. the owner of this gun store says that more and more people are coming in to buy a weapon. worried by the situation. the sales have gone up by 30 to 40 percent in

the last 2 months. in another part of the city, a placement converted into a bomb shelter, one of thousands in kiev that has been reopened in case the worst happens. it was built during the cold war by the russians who have now become the enemy to a full scale invasion would lead to a 3rd world war in the center of europe. it wouldn't be only ukraine involved, but all the other countries, anxiety here over russia's military build up on ukraine's border is being 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 the russian villa, russia, the most like doing this exercise is for the world through her dialect with russia mostly like not, not to make it work 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 cranes, east of cast a long shadow. but most hope that the going diplomatic efforts will put the escalation in sight. the latest crisis. natasha butler, al jazeera kiev. and as we mentioned to pro russia separate us late, it says the west, i'm fairly signs with ukraine and during a press conference this morning. dennis pushin went on to sankey. it isn't following international agreements. child stratford is following developments from a concave in ukraine. dennis porcelain became the leader of the self declared in its people's republican 2018 after the 1st lead alexander's aka shanker was assassinated in a bomb blast. in don acts something that the separatists blamed on ukraine as did the russians. nobody came forward and claimed responsibility for that assassination

. and a very fiery, a very language used by pushing to day in this press conference. he accused the west of sabotaging any kind of peaceful solution to this conflict. he said that the ukrainians with western support were planning what he described as a military solution to 18 detailed allegations about ukrainian troop and weapons build up on the crane in government controlled side of the contact zone. he said that the west were to blame for the sabotaging of the minsk agreement. now the minsk agreement, as we know it was signed in 2015 by the separatists. and then ukrainian government aimed at a peaceful solution to the settlement. it's an agreement that the ukrainians are pushed back on saying that it is too heavily weighted in the separatists favor. and if it was fully implemented would give russia a greater hand in ukrainian affairs. and it was interesting that pushy lynn said

that term, the separatists on their side weren't 100 percent happy with the agreement either. but he said it was internationally recognized one and it had to be abided by a. he said that he was skeptical that there would be any peaceful settlements to this conflict in the near future to the world news now in foreign ministers of the us lead quad group have been making in melbourne and pledge to deepen co operation against what they call coersion in the pacific region, the block includes estrella, japan and india, and its remarks as seen as an effort to counter china's growing economic and military expansion. the group has discussed the growing ties between china and russia, as well as the pandemic cybersecurity, illegal fishing and climate change. sarah clark has more from the city of prison. the reaffirm their support for an affirmative open and democratic order for the endo pacific. they also noted this is maurice pine,

who the strata is foreign minister who hosted this gathering in melbourne. she knows that we are in a period of uncertainty and the prosperity in the region is under pressure to the light for the authoritarian regimes. and of course, this was a by old reference to beijing. the reference also is to growing alliance between russia and china. and you might recall, let me put and she didn't ping announce a joint declaration with no limits at a recent gathering before the winter olympics. and this making this, this particular declaration by these 2 countries was also noted at the gathering and it was a concern raised by the quad group. now this meeting is also an effort to reassure the region of the pacific and the quad group is committed to not just security arrangements for infrastructure, investment, humanitarian and aid. and as mentioned also that brief pie. and i also note that you are russia and ukraine military crosses, and they raised it might be a global issue, but they've raised this and the antony blink and the u. s. secretary states knows

that the same principles apply for the quad group should also be applied to russia, china response to the core group on multiple occasions that echoed that. this is a clever and exclusive clique group that's targeting 3rd party to lots of beijing. and it's the quad groups, a japan, the us, india and astray. they're all trying to undermine at china's growth. it's aim it. it has been russian figure skater, camilla, it's been revealed rather russian figure skater kimmie lavelli ever tested positive for a band substance before the winter olympics began. if daniel's case will now be taken to the court of arbitration for sport, it will rule whether she can continue competing at the games. it may also consider whether the russians should be stripped to the gold medal by one in the team. skating event. such cases are not helpful to the games. i think hopefully most people see that of the, the 3000 people are competing. here are some wonderful sports and graceful,

and hopefully we can continue to concentrate on that. but you'll also appreciate that we need to the, these cases need to be prosecuted properly taken care of properly. and due process needs to be got needs to be gone through. still ahead on al jazeera and act of revenge or a victim of political persecution. we hear from supporters and opponents of bolivia, formal laid up and running out of time and strategies famous while as could become extinct, unless more is done to protect them. ah, ah, look forward to burritos guys. with sponsored by counsel airways. well, it's not in tokyo, the 1st time for a while, it wasn't overly significant that is cutting out the way the cloud taking it away. these are the pictures after dark in the city itself. now given the high
