ah ah ah ah. ready this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm sorry, i'm no mozy. welcome to the news our life from london coming up in the next 60 minutes. diplomacy on the terrans the u. s. and ukraine agree a joint way forward in response to russia's military,

build up an angry verdict from protest, his intern easier following a decision by the president to dismantle the country's last independent judicial body. a show of force in libya, fight as loyal to the inter employment is to arrive in tripoli, all to his successor is named in the country with one of the highest rates of smoking in europe has just approved and he had total ban on tobacco advertising in sports alley is now just a few short hours away from hosting the usa. biggest sporting event super bowl 56 rams, have home field advantage having into the anna foul championship decider against the cincinnati bengals. ah, welcome to the new now we begin with. the crisis on ukraine's board is and

u. s. president joe biden has spoken to ukraine's president law. dom is the lensky saying any further russian aggression will be met with swift and decisive action. the leaders agreed on the importance of diplomacy and de terrance, in response to russia's military build up and the lansky has invited the u. s. president to kia in the coming days. as, as the wheels of diplomacy continue to turn with john the chancellor, olaf shoals becoming the latest western leader to meet with ukrainian president and russia's vladimir putin. in an effort to try and diffuse tensions. he's got to touch down in kiev on monday before then heading on to moscow on tuesday, bringing warnings of immediate sanctions. if russia invades will dis, services, northbound is clots, was on. it's necessary to be clear to say clearly that in the case of military aggression against ukraine, but threatens its territory integrity and its sovereignty that will lead to strong reactions. and sanction that we have carefully required those sanctions and to make

them effective immediately together with our ours in europe. and it may totally visit fault. meanwhile, and ukraine itself, people are trying to get on with their lives. but talk of war and conflict is never far away. it's ashley butler is following developments for us from keith. there is a lot of unpredictability here, a lot of uncertainty in the ukrainian capital, but you know, life does go on for most people who have been out to day in the sunshine shopping meeting up in restaurants. but all, as you say, in the shadow of what may or may not happen on one side, the us warning of imminent invasion, imminent attack from russia. on the other side, of course you have russia saying that it has no intention of invading ukraine. so a lot of conflicting stories. also we thought conflicting reports today over ukrainian air space. there were reports that it was going to be closed. then you had top ukrainian officials a saying that was absolutely nonsense. it would make no point. it would be,

it makes no sense, i should say, to close ukrainian as space. there was now a cabinet meeting with officials and ministers that discussing the situation over in the skies over ukraine. it is a very difficult and complex situation. and in the middle of all this of goals between russian western powers, ukraine, the president flood him is lensky calling for com, urging people not to panic, even though each alice seems to bring something that fuels anxiety. now, on mondays, lensky will be speaking to the german chancellor, olaf sholtes. he will be here in the city. he is likely to say to zalinski that he is bringing all the support of european powers for ukraine sovereignty. it's a message that he has given many times before. he said it is absolutely essential. the war is avoided. he will then travel to moscow on tuesday, russian military drills. meanwhile,

ne ukraine's border had been intensifying recent weeks. the presence of russian forces is the largest storm batter russians, soil since the end of the cold war, nato considers the war games a serious threat and a possible starting point for russian invasion into ukraine. that loss reports now from the broker. the as a border with ukraine. at the blue field, russian helicopter gunship stake through the air near by dozens of russian trucks. these the training grounds armored personnel carriers are transported towards the border with ukraine. the south of barrows looks like a rush and military zone is abandoned in the field and said both i near the city of homo is one of the 12 areas where russia unbearable are conducting join drills known as allowed to resolve. this is not allowed in the local people tell us if rip is in bad shape and has recently been used for sports competition. with it's released by the russian ministry, a blue fence show state of the art military equipment in action near the border

between bellows and ukraine and nato. several divisions of as $400.00 missile defense systems and dozens of so called fighter jets taking part in the exercises. in response to questions from the baltic states that loose has confirmed that russian forces are also active outside the scope of these drilled. so military units and sub units from the eastern military district of the armed forces of the russian federation, a performing task outside the framework of the exercise. they have been deployed and performing practical measures to guard the southern state border. lead are no opportunities to enforce it using border patrol units of the republic of barrows. there are a lot of questions about the exact size and a real purpose of these exercises happening around 20 kilometers from the border. which ukraine, for sure russian forces are a lot more active this close to the ukrainian capital key as a lot more active than they've had been since the end of the cold war. but for many

here, it's hard to believe that war is imminent. after a government crackdown passes in 2020 independent media will shut down in dallas, and it's embattled leader alex on the lucas shanker to russian president vladimir, put in for help for people living at home, out close to the border. it is difficult to find out what's going on now because you won't happen. we were told, it won't happen 1st. they said there will be worth, but i wish the news and lucas ship because if there won't be a war, they brought tanks and trucks and we thought it was a war. but it turns out it was a test of military readiness. those lad make up. so i had a lead off, an opposition party and whole mal is not that optimistic use as many people in ballard, i would like to demonstrate against the possible war, but are too scared to do so when you those moved that move on personally very worried. i have family, i don't want war, like most fellow russians, but as i see, the developments going on so far under the disguise of military exercises. it

naturally makes me very worried on this main road to ukraine's capital. kia buses and trucks are still crossing the border, but here is only 200 kilometers away. and russia show of military force nearby is making people in ukraine and western powers, very nervous stuff fastened else's era into bhaskar level. well, the kremlin continues to reject accusations of an impending offensive, but as fierce grow of an invasion staff of the organization for security and cooperation in europe started pulling out of the rebel held ukrainian city of done yet. the o. s. e 's overseen a civilian monitoring mission in easton ukraine since 2014, when war broke out between ukrainian troops and russian back rebels, archers for ministry is criticized. the decision saying monitoring was needed now more than ever. can now speak to care giles as senior consulting fellow of the

russia and you raise your program at chatham house, joins his life from north hampton show. here in the u. k. by skype, i thought by asking you about this invitation from president brought him in lansky to the us president. is that likely to be accepted? well, it's hard really to see what else can be done other than this flurry of diplomacy that's been going on. what a lot of western leaders think is the last minute. now, certainly the overtures to moscow that we've been seen continuing in a 10 space over the last few days don't seem to be getting any attraction. because after all, they're repeating to the russians. the same messages that have been rejected so many times before and hearing from the in the same demands of the west is unable to meet. so i imagine everybody concerned it looking for other ways of actually moving the situation board. and it's a very fluid situation with this tense situation where everybody is expecting an imminent attack. so all bets are open. the pay seems to have exaggerated in recent

days. does that suggest that perhaps diplomacy is going to delay conflict rather than averted altogether? that could be one of the few possible outcomes from these ongoing missions to moscow, because after all, there's little else little other good that they're doing. but the only way that they will actually change the mines in russia is to offer something that they are not. it's off of some kind of appeasement that would meet some of russia's demands and give them a pretext for backing down. now, we don't know for certain that russia has, in fact, decided to invade. we do know that they are poised and ready to do so with the capabilities they need. if that is the decision that they take. but in the meantime, tripler pulling out all the efforts that they can for last attempt to find any way of persuading russia to back down. why have they fail to do this? why is there not been an effective coherent response on the part to west and leaders? well,

the response has certainly been coherent if you discount french president my chrome, the messaging from western leaders from the united states, from nato, even from the d. u. when i can get a word and has been very consistent and very clear, but the reason why it not being effective is that it doesn't make any difference in moscow. it doesn't do anything to bridge the impossible gap between what russia is demanding from europe, that nato, that the united states roll back, those protections all east in europe, and leave them effectively undefended against moscow. and on the other hand, what the u. s. and nato can actually provide because that's not going to be possible for any western alonzo western group of nations to actually do to offer up again, all of these countries to moscow domination. and that's the reason of give me, i was just going to say you, you mentioning about the presence of manual micro, why do you, why do you say discounting? the french president and his approach has been a very different tac taken by the french president. then all of the other messaging

we seem going to moscow. now if you look at the press conference and background statements book before and after he went to moscow. if the message is different from other western leaders and it is about what can be given to president of porton, to try to make it go away. you might recall that comments about finland, i zation of ukraine that he made before actually arriving in the country, referring to finland, state us back during the cold war, was effectively under soviet domination, but still, notionally, a free and sovereign nation. that's not anything that any other country would wish on ukraine. you've also heard him emphasizing the minsk agreements. that flawed an unworkable piece agreement in ukraine as the only way forward. but ukraine knows that if it signs up to russia, interpretation of the ceasefire agreement, it effectively ceases to function as a country. so where macros stands out is that he is offering up to russia in exchange for going away of more than any other western leader would be prepared to . does that also mean that he is in

a stronger position in terms of leverage or you know, when it comes to trying to find some sort of compromise, perhaps something around nato membership that might end up being preferable to a conflict in which lives are lost. it's certainly true that he would like to be seen as being in a stronger position after or less not again, he's coming up for re election next year. and it's entirely possible that if he is taking the path of appeasement president, brought in, might like to encourage him by giving something to my pro, to show that appeasement and giving russia giving in to rushes. demands is actually the correct way forward. but there's still that problem of actually delivering on promises. if my product does say that he is going to meet some brushes, demand on the security of europe, how is he going to deliver them without the cooperation of europe? so thank you very much for joining us. care, giles from chatham house. thank you. you are the news,

our live from london much more still i had on the program. fighting a common enemy, but inspired by a different ideology, were on the front line with far right paramilitary groups in east in ukraine. and in sport, another record for basketball star, le bron james. i have the details of that nature on ah opposition parties intern easier. say val unite against president chi saeed. off tree and out sweeping changes to the judiciary. more protests have taken place in the capital of the site, gave himself the power to dismiss judges. supreme judicial council was replaced under a new decree. it was one of the last institutions to have been independent of the presidency lead to involvement reports from tunas. i protested, defy covert restrictions, banding. protest together and that thousands essential genus and they're angry.

independent constitutional institutions today. and as of yesterday was the last, before i started to establish a temporary body to serve. the supreme judicial council was suggested, but a movement calling themselves citizens against the crew say they're not giving up. al, i could be michel out be a shed our see at the political and democratic movement of the st continues and with the same objectives and the same approach. anybody out, critics say that high side is gambling and gaining total control over to nisha at the risk of losing the financial support to the g 7 and you. but this process shows that many tunisians are prepared to define his authority and fight against dictatorship. that they fought so hard to overturn. 11 years ago, alicio holcman al jazeera tunis. we go to libya in our fighters who back the inter prime minister abdul hamid debate have entered the capital,

tripoli and convoys. your group say they want to assure up the babies position off the parliament in east and libya moved to replace him with fatty sugar. the baby says he won't hand over power until long delayed elections are held. malik traina has more from tripoli. we saw yesterday husband, misery, he's the speaker of the high council of state. that's a legislative house based here in tripoli that shares power with the parliament. and he said that he received enough recommendations from its members for him to move forward a sort of like a nod of approval from the high council of state. does this mean that he will come into power? what we're going to have to wait and see, but still needs to form a government. he's going to give that list to the parliament. if they give him a vote of confidence, i mean, really it's, it's, it on a political level, it's going to be a done deal for me today, but he's going to be forced to hand over power on

a political level. what he's trying to do, what the baby is now trying to do, is trying to change the general view, the, the, the view among people. here. he's saying that he's going to announce a roadmap for elections to happen in june. and this comes after elections were postponed in december. we need to remember that the baby came into power in march, and he was passed with leading libya to election. and more than 2800000 libyans register to vote, and that's more than any other election. and look at history, so there's a huge appetite. libyans are sick and tired of these legislative houses that have remained in power for year upon year, right. they want to vote who they want, they want, they want to control them. they want to vote for who they think it can lead the country towards stability of some news from iraq when the supreme court has ruled the hushes bari is not eligible to run for president is follows. a complaint filed

flashpoint saba shaft, your ra, occupied east, jerusalem demonstrations broke out as a far i israeli. m. p. from the religious zionism alliance open a temporary parliamentary office in the neighbourhood. shut your eyes emerged as a symbol of palestinian resistance against israeli control of the city. hundreds of palestinians there of either been evicted or facing eviction from their hands. as there is no drawn. symmetry has more on the protest. now from shaft you're on the left, you my look, this is the tensor up this morning by it's mob been via a members connects it for the religious zionist party who arrived, accompanied by dozens of settlers at the house of a solemn family which has been threatened with eviction, he sets up his tent and said that he will move his parliamentary office here under the pretext that this will offer protection to the settlers who sees some houses in this area. because according to him, the israeli police have failed to protect those settlers. additional police forces

also arrived here to secure the member of the connected settlers. this lady has been here since this morning. she came with it mar bank via and has been provoking the situation and obstructing out journalist work. 73 year old fatima selim, who lives in the house with her 3 children and her grandchildren was also basin as the family were attacked. holly and her son was then detained as he tried to protect his mother. as you can see, the police are standing by the settlers obstruct the media. and dozens of palestinians have gathered terror along with some israeli left wing activists to help defend the solemn family police of k, the remaining protest as vehicles from a key bridge on the u. s canada border and will be we are and will be reopening it later on sunday. please say around a dozen people were arrested blockade was part of larger protest which of iraq to cross canada against coven vaccine mandates. similar demonstrations of also now spread to parts of europe as or challenge reports. after nearly

a week of protest and disruption, this was the end of the stand off on ambassador bridge. since saturday the canadian police in windsor, ontario had been gradually enforcing a court order made on friday to end the demonstration. by sunday, only a few stragglers remained most had left or been arrested. vehicle towed away the bridge is one of canada's most important roots to the us with 25 percent of trade between the 2 countries using it. but for 6 days it was shut as a protest started by truck is angry at mandatory covered vaccine certifications blocked it off any mandate in the past or they let us live our lives were sick and tired of it. can. it is freedom convoy, as they called, it looks to be over now, but the idea has spread. this is paris france a $150.00 or so ca, setting off 1st to leo and then on to brussels. this is on that. i knew we will

tell you to join us so we can change things because the people need to make their voice heard to know that we are here today. we have the impression that we look down on things are forced on us and we are forced to get vaccinated in order to keep our jobs. we don't want that. we don't want the suppression. we want to be free. brussels was quiet on sunday, but maybe not for long because of cove it government in western democracies have placed restrictions on people's lives. not seen outside of war time. most citizens have complied, seeing them as for the greater good but a vocal minority finding ways to make their opposition. rory challenz. how does era? well, in switzerland efforts to ban animal testing for medical and scientific experiments have failed in a public vote. 79 percent of swiss voters chose to keep the practice in a national referendum. more than 5 100000 animals died in swiss, depart,

trees in 2020, and campaign. as it argued the tests were unethical and unnecessary. but if a strong opposition from powerful pharmaceutical companies, which that the research was needed to develop new drugs. but by chance have approved any a total ban on tobacco advertising, despite strong opposition by the government. those backing ban hope it'll discourage young people from taking up the habits in a country as one of the highest rates of smoking in europe. eve barker reports, it's an image of odds with the countries healthy, environmentally friendly reputation. for, for you switzerland, be the haven for tobacco firms with some of the most lax laws in europe, sundays referendums, change things with voters defying the government. and approving a ban on tobacco advertising in newspapers, the internet. anyway, young people can see them. it's laughable that for 2 years man, a health policy to fight coven 19 has been in place. and now we really have the

opportunity to introduce a new health policy. yet the swiss government has advised people to vote no way for me. it's obvious that we have to vote yes to the ban. those backing the van say, the government's opposition is down to the presence of the world's major tobacco companies. several have their headquarters here and the industry generates more than $6000000000.00 a year for the swiss economy. for the old economic arguments no longer hold sway. there were $9000.00 smoking related deaths a year in the country. the impact on its health system is now the forefront of people's minds. so with the blue jeep at the coolant, the lease i voted in favor of banning tobacco advertising when miners. i think the only argument of the opponents was the collapse of the swiss economy. i don't see how it is linked, maybe i didn't understand well, but it seems more important to me to protect children from tobacco. so the tobacco firms have lobbied hard to avoid the bad with opponents, claiming cake and even sausages could face similar restrictions for the campaign. fail to convince most people swiss voters showing politicians

a big business that has time to get tougher on tobacco. neve parker al jazeera flag for you on the knees are struggling to build their lives full ma, hung precast as they work, and study and now off limits for them. and in sports, american speed skater makes history eliminates will have i surely, ah, with hey there, you're locked into your weather update for europe and africa. nice to see. here's the thing. we've got a band of snow moved across central parts of scandinavia. now to the south of this, it will be rain, but there could be an area of freezing rain, high temperatures, here, oslo for stuck home 5 in helsinki. 3. so that means more, more likely to see some rank also see snow across sea alpine region and some pretty

lu. ah ah, welcome back. the main stories now u. s. president joe biden has spoken to ukraine's president brought him is lensky. they agreed on the importance of diplomacy and to terrence in response to russia's military build up on the border with ukraine. they've been more protest engineers here are to present kaiser scrap the supreme judicial council and gave himself the power to dismiss judges. council was replaced under a new decree opposition parties, a saying that they planned to unite against the site and libby and fight. as you back the intern prime minister abdul hamid baber of entered the capital, tripoli,

and convoys. parliament in eastern libya moved to replace the baby, but he says he won't hand over power until long delayed elections held. and so you kind government has been accused of timing, a blind eye to what it described as neo nazi pi military groups fighting russia back separatists. many say that such groups have been an effective fighting force in the almost a year conflict in easton ukraine algae there is charles stratford reports on this now from the city of car keith. the law. these men training on the football pitch in easton, ukraine say they want to defend their country from russian aggression. cry core has its origin in german, national groups of the 18th and 19th century. and the leaders of the group say it has thousands of members who are not but only 60 of both their own license weapons and regularly serve alongside ukrainian army soldiers on the 420 kilometer front line. 24 year old glib,

studied homeland security and crisis management university. he says one day he wants to open a gun shop. why did you choose like? because it's more. ready logically, closer to me. so i decided to join the when you said they are more ideologically closer to you, can you tell me what you mean by that? how. what do you believe in idea what you can pause that why call is not the only group accused of being neo nazis that has appeared in ukraine since the conflict with russian bank separatist started in 2014 others like these men with the powerful as of battalion been incorporated into the ukrainian security services under the ministry of interior for i call on many groups like them have been praised by ukrainians for their

willingness to take up arms and defend the country against what they describe as russian aggression. but that does not mean that they are popular amongst voters at the ballot box. the coalition of right wing groups only managed to win less than 3 percent of the vote in the last parliamentary elections in 2019 with some of its leaders. such is dimitra. yarrow sh been made, advises to the head of the ukrainian military flow participants in this torchlight riley, resembling nazi gatherings in 19 thirties. germany hold a banner honoring steph. i'm bummed era, a ukrainian nazi collaborator, widely recognized as organizing the massacre of tens of thousands of ethnic polls and ukraine towards the end will to heard of ben dera, is the nickname, fellow fry co volunteers, gave this man 24 year old. barden says the group has its origin and what he calls hands slow, visible,

connecting similar minded people across slavic regions of eastern europe, including russia. but that change when the conflict started off and to move the market. if the west respects democracy and pluralism views, they have to respect our views. but to get the political future, we would need to show people we can be competent leaders. we need to gather light minded thinkers, qualified and educated people. if we manage that, we will have a political future and political strength experts say the far writing ukraine has its origins in football, hooliganism, poverty, and a country that, along with many other post soviet states has struggled with political corruption. the russian ukrainian border didn't really exist for these movements, the russian fire rate and the ukrainian fire rate moved in the same circles. and then when the war came, some of them chose one side and some of them chose the other. and the fact is that the connections are still very much there in some parts, and it's almost certain that there are russian agents of some sort within these

movements. for co leaders say they've been overwhelmed by people wanting to join since the crises between ukraine and russia. has escalated that as nato countries through their weight behind ukraine. they should have to be aware of what this conflict is creating on both sides. charles staff, al jazeera car kid, eastern ukraine, form a member student dissolve. transitional council has been arrested. family member, say mohammed saki fleming was detained near his home to other politicians were arrested last week. it will all part of the pow sharing arrangement between civilians and military officer, the ousting of long term leader, omar bashir military dissolve the council last october. now a funeral has been held for a mexican john list he was killed earlier this week. the latest in a string of violent attacks against reports is err below perez was shot 5 times

while in his recording studio in the southern states of america, he is the 5th mexican john is to be killed since the start of this year, lopez regularly wrote about politics and corruption in local government, one man detained in connection to his death is the brother of an official. lopez had denounced as having criminal links. critically telling the truth lip, the move from the ports of the cruise, we are present lopez, upper door. we no longer want to know there's another reproach. of course the countries murdered by this is the craft adjusted from all my furnace. you mean the cases and reported throughout the mexican republic? be but i'll leave it if i feel lonely if freedom of expression long the freedom expression throughout mexico. let's get the pigment pool as well, friend, and been a reporter. i don't even louis chaperone is a mexican journalist. he joined us of a sky from seattle, whereas in northern mexico. and so the killing of her below has comes off. this is

now the 5th, right. so it comes after a better. toledo was shot dead. body of lord this lopez was found shot to death inside her car. margarita martinez was killed outside his home. and then finally, jose luis camper was killed in the state of vera cruz. can you tell us a bit more about why these journalists photographer says hi, money, i'm thank you for having me. in that i think what we're seeing in mexico right now . we've with donald this. he has to deal with a lot of the corruption and impunity going all through mexico. these journalists, all of them, every single one of them was, were looking into the links between politicians and criminal organizations, or corrupted politicians. so i guess that was the 1st thing that they targeted column on all 5 of them, all these murders being properly investigated?

well, i really wish to say yes, but luckily, justice in mexico, it's not, it's not or, or strength. you know, so investigators, they always say they are being investigating if this was related to their job or who was the people who are the paper traitors. although. busy they only have arrested to the gun man in the case of evan, but still, we don't really know what behind the order to kill any one of these journalists in terms of justice and accountability. how much is the links between the authorities and criminal gangs? and influencing factor in this i think it's definitely a strong factor in the killing of journalists. one point we talk about how the

criminal organization, where children, journalist, but now we know that the strongest link between all of them is that they were looking into corruption. specifically, those politicians empower either will be municipal officers or state governors or even high up to the, to the mexicans president. so i think of corruption and the fact that most political power is linked to agreement, organizations in different ways not only in the drug trade, but also in money, money laundering, or even setting up their own agenda is, has a lot to do with it, with a tour of this way. now obviously you're a journalist yourself and you're working in mexico, which has to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world for john les, what is your reaction to what is happening that you must be very worried about your friends colleagues? even in family definitely it is really frustrating because for one part we have

a government that it's not paying proper attention to. when all is generally call out for help. you know, all of these soil is do. these 5 general is killed already in only 2 months, have called for help before being killed. they had reached out to organizations to have reached out to even the mexican president himself and asked for help because they had received threats. but the, the fact that they're not getting get patient they need a war is very frustrating. and also the fact that their own media companies are not giving them the backup they, they really need and let alone the wages. oh, thank you very much louis ship era. for joining us that from seattle to hire as a do appreciate it. thank you very much. my for his government has declared a 45 day statement urgency in the capital lima and the province of cloud due to soaring crime,
