i, my daughter, the young people just have a full voice and don't feel targeted because of their race or ethnicity. ah, keith calls to urge and talks with russia and the organization for security and cooperation in europe over the crisis in ukraine. and we examined russia's claims that par miniature groups fighting in ukraine have links to neo nazis. ah, hello, i'm down, jordan, this is out as they are alive from to are also coming up. at least a protest isn't vehicle some of bridge on canada's boarded with the u. s. for the crossing is not yet open to traffic. and switzerland's voted to impose

a near total band on tobacco advertising in a country with one of the highest rates of smoking in europe. ah, deterrence and diplomacy. that's the stance of the us and ukrainian lead as, as russia is, military takes part in war games along its northern border. ukraine is coding for talks within 48 hours with russia and other members of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. while the countries leader below them is the lensky has invited president joe biden, to give up a phone call between the 2 leaders. while the german chancellor left schultz is showing his support varying immediate sanctions. if russia invades he'll be in care of this week before flying on to moscow, while the number of russian forces in bella rues is the largest since the end of a cold war, they are engaged in intensive war games, which nato considers a potential starting point for an invasion, steadfast report now from zia,

broker and field near the border with ukraine. at the subaru, great effort ration helicopter gunship stake to the ear near by dozens of russian trucks. the training grounds ob personnel, carriers are transported to watch the border with ukraine. the south of bellows looks like a russian military hill, is abandoned airfield in sabbath guy near the city of. well mal is one of the 12 areas of russia and barrels are conducting join drills known as allowed to resolve . this is not allowed in the local people tell us that it's rip is in bad shape and has recently been used for sports competition with it's released by the russian ministry of friends show state of the art military equipment in action near the border between bellows and ukraine and natal, several divisions of as 400 missile defense systems and dozens of so called fighter jets are taking part in the exercises. in response to questions from the baltic

states that luce has confirmed that russian forces are also active outside the scope of these drills. so military units and sub units from the east military district of the armed forces of the russian federation of performing task outside the framework of the exercise. they have been deployed and are performing practical measures to go to southern state border where there are no opportunities to reinforce it using border patrol units of the republic of barrows. they 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 has 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. for people living at home, out close to the border, it is difficult to find out what's going on because he won't happen if 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, laddie mc out. 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 that's i'm 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 blood sugar level. how does your castro has more from washington d. c. on ukraine's invitation to joe biden?

what's telling is that this detail out of that call came not from the white house, but from the office of the ukrainian president lensky. now, in his read out of the call and his offices read out, it says that the loan ski invited biden to go to keys in the coming days, quote unquote, because the u. s. presidents present there in the ukraine and capital would be crucial for de escalation again, there is no mention of this and the official read out that came from the white house and we are waiting for a response to that invitation. well, we do know from the white house that this call lasted about an hour and that vide and said, zalinski, that he affirmed that the u. s. and allies ready to respond, he said swiftly and decisively. if russia further aggression against ukraine is a recall yesterday, biting, use nearly those same words when he spoke with the president of russia, a lot of you couldn't. and in that call,

which was aimed at these de escalate the situation. apparently there was no breakthrough with a white house, a this morning repeating warnings that russia continues to prepare for a possible incursion. and that an invasion of ukraine could happen at any moment at the pentagon spokesperson, also speaking this morning, saying that the time is narrowing for a diplomatic resolution. melinda herring is from the atlantic councils eurasia center. she says, president biden cannot afford to be caught off guard by any russian move on ukraine . there's 30000 russian troops in belarus, and i understand why everyone is scared. it's only a 140 miles from where these troops are to key of, and there's a beautiful new paved road. so it's pretty easy to roll in russian troops. and that's why there's a lot of fear right now that guten, may give the signal for these troops to go in and go straight to here. there is no way that the biden is going to go to give the call,

did not go very well today. the meeting was tense. i and i understand that basically, i biden made statements like after ukraine are sorry after kia falls, a winkie of falls. so it from the ukrainian perspective, it was a pretty alarming phone call. i think biden is looking at this through a domestic political lynn's. it's not just a pure of purely international ins. biden can't afford another foreign policy screw up after afghanistan. and he remembers, in 20 and 2014, the u. s. was not ready when russia put its little green men in crimea and annex the peninsula. so president biden doesn't want to get caught off guard. he's done a great job of telling everyone about the threats, and he's basing it off of our intelligence assessments. the ukrainians disagree, but they, i'm just back from kia peter and the, the ukrainians are upset that biden is making so much noise. they don't disagree

with the actual intelligence assessment. they disagree with the interpretation of it. and i think that's a thread this worth holding on. it's possible that vladimir putin is going to sit at the border. he's at the north, the east in the south border of ukraine, and just continued to menace ukraine. it will drive ukraine's economy into the ground. that could be his play. he doesn't want sanctions. i so he can probably get what he wants, by sitting on that border and just being a royal minutes. then all integrating people are trying to get on with their lives, but talk of war is never far away. natasha butler's falling developments from give 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 u. s. 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 a stories. also, we saw 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 making no sense, i should say, to close ukrainian as space. there is now a cabinet meeting with officials and ministers. they're 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 hour seems to bring something that fuels anxiety. now, on mondays, lensky will be speaking to the german chancellor, olaf shoulds. he will be here in the city. he is likely to us say,

to zalinski that he is bringing all the support of european powers for ukraine. sovereignty is 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, elisa cleared the remaining protest isn't vehicles from a bridge on canada's border with the u. s. for the crossing is not yet opened a traffic. the blockade was part of protests across canada against covered 19 vaccine mandates. and lucy correspond the cal perry has mona, from windsor in ontario just under a week now since the ambassador bridge has been blockaded and shut down. and this is really the 1st time that we've seen police be able to get protesters physically out of the area. you can see the intersection that we're talking about. we are about a mile from the ambassador bridge. and what's happening now is police are reinforcing this road, this road leads to the bridge. it's about 3 kilometers from the bridge to one of

the major interstates in canada. so this is the main thoroughfare and police are clearly trying to get it. not only this open, but to have it secure. the question for police moving forward is going to be whether or not they continue have to, to continue to have to play this, this game of whack a mole with protesters. because protesters have made it clear, it only takes a very small number of them to shut down. what was until this week, the busiest crossing in north america and similar demonstrations of now spread to parts of europe as well. re challenge. now 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 on a 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 coven vaccine certifications blocked it off. any mandate in the past words, 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 europe to join us so we can change things because the people need to make their voice heard to know that we are here to day. we have the impression that we are looked 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 covered governments in western democracies have

placed restrictions on people's lives. not seen outside of wartime, most citizens have complied, seeing them as for the greater good. but a vocal minority of finding ways to make their opposition heard rory challenz al jazeera, possesses of march and the hey, get the netherlands for 2nd day to denounce corona virus restrictions. crowds demanded the right to move freely in solidarity with that truck drivers protest in canada. conway vehicles to the same in the hague city center on saturday. protests against cope at 19 vaccinations have drawn hundreds of people in austria's capital since vendor unvaccinated people have only been allowed to leave home for essential reasons. restrictions are being slightly relaxed, but next month lease will begin random checks. people who break the rules. risk prosecution also to come here down to us here, including why rock's top coat is barring a former foreign minister from running for presidency and smooth waters. venice is

connecting similar minded people across slavic regions of eastern europe, including russia. but not changed when the conflict started off and it moved them. if the west respects democracy and pluralism views, they have to respect our views, the tickets of 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 and 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 far right and the ukrainian far right 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 movement. for i call 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 happy be aware of what this conflict is creating on both sides. stratford al jazeera car kid, eastern ukraine, is where the security forces of shot dead a 17 year old palestinian boy in the occupied westbank. muhammad abdullah was shot in the head during om confrontations at a village west of jenny city. 11 others were injured when his writing forces opened forward palestinians protesting against the demolition of a prisoner's home and 3 other houses. and his ready police of cleared protest as any flash point, suburb sharah, and off to bodies. jerusalem demonstrations broke out as far right as rainy i'm. he began reopening a political office in the neighbourhood. should draw has become a symbol of palestinian resistance against israel. hundreds of palestinians of

acquitted by the court in 2016 when he was accused of corruption and mismanagement, when he then was a finance minister. then in his view, there is no point. there is no point in banning him from running for prison. now, the question now is whether or not his party, the didn't the could this 10 democratic party will be able to push for another nominee, especially with the fact that today is considered the deadline. the last day in the constitutional period allocated for presidential candidates to submit their files to the parliament, a presidency, voters in switzerland that approved the near total ban on tobacco advertising. despite strong opposition by the government, supporters hope it will discourage young people from taking up a habit. and

a country with one of the highest rates of smoking in europe is need buck. it's an image of the odds with the country's healthy environmentally friendly reputation. but 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 madison 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. for me, it's obvious that we have to vote yes to the van. 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. but 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 at the forefront of people's minds, which are at the blue gym at the coolant, the least. 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 failed to convince most people swiss voters showing politicians a big business that it's time to get tougher on tobacco. neve park have al jazeera . now venice is once again getting all dressed up fritz famous carnival. the festivities returned to the italian city after 2 years of pandemic, unlocked towns, brianca group to asthma. ah, to the wisdom of drums this latina opens what has been called the carnival of hope
