but there was apparently no change in the dynamic. in other words, the united states reportedly put forward a number of ideas that it believed we're in the best interests of the west of the alliance and addressed the key security concerns of russia. however, it is still unclear in the eyes of the united states, whether or not russia has made a decision to take the diplomatic path to resolve the security differences. or go with the use of force and war in for the united states is what they're seeing on the ground, the continued build up of military troops. and the united states saying, according to this administration official, that is the belief of the united states. if russia is to pursue that military option, that the result would be nothing short of catastrophic. now, earlier in the day on saturday, we do know that the secretary of state antony blinking,

did also communicate to his counterpart that the diplomatic path remains open. that the, there is this chance to engage in good faith discussions, but that russia needs to de escalate immediately. this is something that was underscored by the u. s. president. otherwise there would be a reaction by the west. in other words, there would be a resolute, massive united transit land tick response and the u. s. president underscoring as well to vladimir putin that this transatlantic relationship is more aligned than ever before. or to for to bar is falling developments from the russian capital moscow. apparently vladimir putin told us president joe biden does the information the united states has is false, and that's the hysteria that is created is at an all time high, the russian president reiterated that he does not have any interest in invading

ukraine. but once some guarantees from the americans about nato's expansion, now, the russian president also said that ad nato's expansion could lead to direct russia nato confrontation. this is that the core of the disputes that we're seeing unfolds and increase tensions. that is, that russia does not want to see nato increase its memberships, and further expand eastward, something that the russians say is very much a security concern for them. now, the russian president, vladimir putin also spoke with a man whom i called earlier. and they had an hour and 40 minute conversation. and according to the elisa palace read out of that call, the french president did not get any indications from the russian president that russia is looking to invade ukraine. the french president also has been speaking to the ukranian president as well as i will be speaking to the u. s. president. later on. so i very much reassurances from flattered me,

mental handy take, it will take you the news and current affairs that mattel to you. oh, wow. ah, welcome back. a quick reminder about chop stories here at this hour. the white house is a phone call between the us and russia. leaders on ukraine did not result in any fundamental change. the kremlin said, the cold was businesslike, but criticized. what it sees as war hysteria in the west anti faxing protest is all slowly moving that trucks off a key u. s. canadian border bridge. they've been blocking since monday. mo protests are congregating in the capitol ottawa, demonstrations of paralyzed the city for a 3rd week. in french police abuse, tear gas to break up a similar protest and central parish they've been running against vaccine passes,

which are required to and to restaurants and many other public venues. but more now and i'll top story the tensions over ukraine as the u. s. warns of an imminent russian invasion. let's take a closer look at how russia and ukraine compare militarily. well, russia's armed forces dwarf ukraine's moscow as almost 3 times as many troops. there are more than 1500 fighter jets in russia military ukraine has just 67 on the outgunned on the ground to care with fewer than 2 and a half 1000 tanks compared 213000 in russia. president putin as a master over a $100000.00 troops around ukraine. borders along with tanks, have ja tillery and armored vehicles, but ukraine is getting western support. its biggest along the united states is sending $200000000.00 worth of military help, including empty arm and missiles and ammunition. but alex andre would sort of as is from the swiss military view. he explained the common situation near the ukraine

border. there is definitely a risk of a risk of conflict because at any given moment when you have such a high concentration of troops of technical means of radars of computers, everybody is trying to sort out what the other is doing. and so mistakes accidents may happen that makes for a risky situation. there are satellite pictures, there's all sorts of reconnaissance data that shows that in defects. there are not one but 2 russian military forces build up one in bell arrest, which is highly congested and, and strategic area. and the other one which is close to us. so the eastern border of ukraine, where previously, russian forces have been concentrated and have had direct and indirect effects on, on ukraine. so yes, there are 2 hot spots and the conjunction of these 2 hot spots and the planning

that is going on and the maneuvers been bounced and the now mobilization of certain russian forces in certain russian technology, hypersonic. for example, all of these are clues allow the united states, diplomats to say that there is a risk and there are plans within the russian or forces that is correct. you a section of state antony blinking his meeting with his japanese and south korean counterparts in hawaii. the trilateral talks are focusing on north korea and the flurry of missile tests since january. also in the agenda is china's growing military and economic dominance. in the indo pacific region where rob mcbride joins us live from. so with the latest, rob, so we've seen a number of missile test lately from young. presumably, north korea will be high and blinking for gender then. yeah, that certainly has raised a tempo here, but i think entity, blink,

and really wants to hear that's as far as northeast asia concert. it is business as usual or crisis is usual. of course north korea developments of its weapons. it's missile and nuclear arsenal has been a permanent fixture here for years. for decades, i think blinking at this crucial moment wants to know that the situation at least the status quo, is contained, as he prepared for the much more immediate and potentially far more dangerous crisis of ukraine. hurtling down the tracks towards him, and i think he is getting the kind of assurances that he would expect from america's most senior allies in this part of the world, japan and south korea. at this trilateral meeting, the meeting has been held. we are now getting. we understand a news conference with some of the outcome of those talks, but these talks were held with a view to trying to reopen dialogue with north korea about the nuclear rotation of the korean peninsula. of course,

the u. s. has said that it is prepared to start diplomacy to meet anytime anywhere to start the process of those talks. but it does come after this flurry of besides activity from north korea, which shows little intention of trying to sit down at him, negotiating table anytime soon. january was the busiest period of missile testing so far during all of its weapons development. and of course, it culminated in the launch of an intermediate missile economists out we haven't seen being loads in this part of the world since 2017. and when you combine that with hints by kim junglin that north korea may relax, its more rhetoric on longer range, intercontinental ballistic missile testing, which is of course, a very provocative step and also the possibility of restarting its nuclear testing . then it is a very concerning for all of the neighbors here and for the united states. having said that, of talking of business as usual on state run media this sunday from north korea,

we are seeing images of a very, a contented north korean leader kim jong on a, being shared by thousands over on lucas, thousands of supporters at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new housing complex in pyongyang, it seems as far as north korea is concerned, is domestic matters rather than all these are worldwide chrisy or robin just briefly then how much concern is the now of china's growing influence across the region? i mean, the, the chair of growing china, her influence that the obviously dominated the meeting that lincoln had with the quad group of nations. this loose alliance of liberal democracies down in australia . and when it comes to south korea, it is a liberal democracy. but it is certainly not a member of quote, its position is a far more delicate. it has a very close relationship or with a china in terms of business. it is the biggest trading partner. so when you have a trilateral meetings like this, although a japan and united states are very committed to the quads intentions as south korea, it's is

a very reluctant to go along with anything seen as adversarial towards china. so we're not likely to see any strong messages regarding china, i think goes as far as the u. s. is concerned, it will just be happy that both japan and the south korea are on the same page when it comes to dealing with north korea. all right, a rama where i live right there from the south korean capital sol. rob. thank you. now conway fighters from libya as joint operations forces as rolled into tripoli to support the interim prime minister abdomen debate. they were ordered by him to secure the capital after the eastern based parliament moved to replace him. to baber says he won't hand of a parent a long delayed elections are held. the appointment of a new prime minister has re ignited divisions with protest is taken to the streets . molly, trainer, reports from triple now were here in modern square in the capital tripoli where a large uh, large group of people, especially armed men in view and uniform, have gathered, i to protest the move buy of fitz,

a he'll put that list forward to the parliament. if they give him a vote of confidence, it's going to be really difficult problem. how me to be about to continue to stay in power. i mean, the baby might be losing on the political level. but here in the capital tripoli in water square, or we can see that on the ground, there is a large, there is a large support, especially armed men, that support i did meet the labor. we're gonna have to wait and see how the situation developed in the coming days and weeks at afghanistan, central bank has call on the u. s. president to reverse an order to return only half of the $7000000000.00 in afghan assets held in the u. s. joe biden, set aside the other half for 911 victims. many afghans are demanding the money back as their country free falls into economic disaster and starvation. norbert unmanly reports shar anew in downtown cobble is hugely crowded with shoppers. but as the economy is tanking,

these palestinian families are being forced to leave their homes and belongings. these are the military sometimes uses this area in the north of the occupied west bank as a training ground. this means that people who have lived here for decades have to stay away for as long as the army decides is necessary. israeli military jeeps, move between homes to ensure every one has left palestinians here. say it's not their 1st order to leave their home this year and fear it won't be the last or then want to print it out. they'll stay here until each one of us leave their home. they'll say, why aren't you out yet? it's a day and you have to leave explosions like these often break the peace here . go, no, you must. i fear for the children. they get scared of the bombing. i tried to calm them down, but we're scared to. i remind them not to touch anything the i mean these behind because it might explode with the bad people here say they have nowhere else to go . so they have to stay out until they're allowed to return to their home. after

midnight, the military drill will continue for 3 days, which means they'll have to go through this again. twice this week. the israeli army told al jazeera that it takes measures to protect civilians during the exercises. but is really officers previously said that trainings are used to push palestinians out. 7 families left their homes on tuesday, but many more people used to live here. 48 families once lived in this village called bleak. now there are only 20 to get a command says he had to relocate his home 5 years ago because he was tired of these displacements. still, he says his land is under threat ox, armando. so i've lost half of my crush because the thanks went over them. i've had a piece of land landed with bodily and they completely ruined it. these videos are from his really through his in january. people here say eat structures were
