ah, shoot documentary from around the world about those who won't give up their fight for justice out. is there a select justice? ah, she have cool. so urgent talks with russia and no one has asian for security and cooperation in europe over the crisis in ukraine. and we examined russia's claims that paramilitary groups fighting in ukraine ab linked to neo nazis. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera live from dela rosa coming up. police clear protest isn't vehicles met bridge on canada's border with the u. s, but the crossing is not yet open to traffic. and switzerland votes to impose and

the a total ban 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 u. s. and ukrainian leaders as russia's military takes part and war games along its northern border. ukraine is calling for talks than 48 hours with russia and other members of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. while the countries lead of lot m, as the lensky has invited president biden to kiev, after a phone call between the 2 leaders. while the german chancellor left sholtes is showing his support vowing 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 better routes is one of the biggest since the end of the cold war, they're engaged in intensive war games, which nate have considered as a potential starting point for an invasion,

step bass and reports now from the broken field. the border with ukraine. at this bluff, air field rush and helicopter gunship steak 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 of russia unbearable conducting joint drills known as allowed to resolve. this is not allowed in the local people tell us, it's rip is in bad shape and has recently been used for sports competition with it's released by the russian ministry. a blue france 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 drills. 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 it 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 now because he won't happen. we were told, it won't happen 1st, they said there will be worth. but i wish the news and lucretia,

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. vladimir cuts off the lead off an opposition party and home is not that optimistic. he says many people in battles would like to demonstrate against a possible war, but are too scared to do so. when you 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, fast and elses era into blood sugar levels. out there as high desert, castro has more from washington d. c. on ukraine's invitation to president vital. 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. president 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 is that this call lasted about an hour and that vide instead zalinski that he affirmed that the u. s. allies ready to respond, he said swiftly and decisively. if russia furthers 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 in the pentagon spokesperson, also speaking this morning, saying that the time is narrowing for a diplomatic resolution. well, the cranium, government is often accused of ignoring what's described as neo nazi power, miniature groups fighting russian bat, separatists. many se such groups have been effective in fighting in the near 80, a conflict and east them ukraine. cha strapped the reports from crockett did love these men training on the football pitch in easton, ukraine say they want to defend their country from russian aggression. cry. coal has its origin in german nationalists 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,

have bought 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 or more logically, closer to me. so i decided to join the when you say they are more ideological closer, you can you tell me what you mean by that? how. what do you believe in idea what you can pause that like who is not the only group accused of being neo nazis. that is, appeared in ukraine's is the conflict with russian bank separatists started in 2014 others like these men with the powerful as of the 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 we groups only managed to win leslie sweet. the center of the vote in the last parliamentary elections in 2019 with some of its leaders, such is dimitra. yarrow sh would be made, advises to the head of the ukrainian military discipline. in this torch rally resembling nazi gatherings in 1930 germany hold. a banner honoring stefan dera, ukrainian nazi collaborator, widely recognised as organizing the massacre of tens of thousands of ethnic poles and ukraine towards the end were to go forward. and 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 pans slow visible, connecting similar minded people across slavic regions of eastern europe, including russia, but not changed when the conflict started off. and it's more than welcome. 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 movements. for i 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 throw their weight behind ukraine, they should happy be aware of what this conflict is creating. on both sides cha, stafford, al, jazeera car, kid, eastern ukraine. now the russian figure skater, camilla valley ava should know soon whether she will be allowed to continue competing at the winter olympics. and beijing, the 15 year old tested positive for a band heart medication at a pre olympic event. she gave evidence that a close door court of arbitration for support hearing on sunday value as a favorite to win gold in the woman's event is scheduled for tuesday with katrina. you join us live now from beijing katrina. so this hearing is due to rule and

weather value can continue to compete. billing picks, hello force been happening. that's right, so the icy spokesperson made it clear that this decision that we're about to here in about 2 hours, or excuse me only decide whether value ava can continue in the individual figure skating event on tuesday. he said that this will not though confirm her the doping offense or deny it. and it will also crucially not decide on the outcome of the metal ceremony for the team event which took place last week on monday. so many athletes, including the russians, us, gators, those from japan, canada will remain in limbo about as, who will receive the gold medal for that team event. now the spokesperson said that this was extremely disappointing, but this whole decision was out of their hands. and you also reiterated that this

whole mass must be approached very delicately reminding the public that camilla valley. eva is only 15 years old. she is a minor in this situation. so just for contacts, there is not only this one case that will be decided in a few hours by the international courting sport sporting court of arbitration. but there is also a longer term legal case. and that will answer the question as to why valley eva was still allowed to compete at beijing at all. given that she tested positive for this bad substance, t, m, z, or true metacity. now, true metacity is a drug given to enjoined patients, but it's also banned, but many sporting agencies because it's known to boost endurance and sporting performance now valid, gave a tested positive for that drug, kinsey. on december the 25th while she was competing at the russian national championships, but it took about 6 weeks before that positive test came to light during the

olympics just last tuesday. so the iris c have said that this will be a longer term drawn out legal process and we may not have the question to that. all the resolution to the metal ceremony issue for more than a few days now. yeah. and katrina, how closely are the media and people in china following this story? it's not being reported very widely in china itself. i think paging is trying to keep it hush hush. china has a lot in sort of riding on the lympics, being a very positive, successful, smooth running event. and certainly it's not being covered very much at all by chinese state media. that could also be due to the fact that russia is also very close friend of china, and this is an extremely complicated issue, and it just tarnish the overall limping image and tarnish the everyday happenings of the events. obviously, there are

a lot of journalists who are interested in this one question. and today the i or c press conference, they really wanted to detract. so look at other issues regarding gender equality or the overall running of the game. so here in china, it's not something people are very much discussing wildly over. it's certainly going to be something that makes the loss of waves. once we do hear the decision as to where the value of a will be able to compete tomorrow because she is a favorite and her success in that initial team that was quite low, quite lauded here in china because she did perform these unprecedented quadruple job. so there are a lot of fans of value here and certainly one such decision is out wish or to hear more from the chinese public writer, katrina your life is there in beijing. katrina. thank time pressure break here and i'll just say when we come back, i'm at, i'm ready in southern italy. police are on the lookout for a members of the mafia. after a string of bombings in the city of fall, just upset people on edge and changing gears. the rocky driving school,

empowering women both on and off the road, more or less. stay with us. i i look forward to burritos, guys. with the sponsored my cattle airways. hey, they're welcome to your world's weather update. we're going to begin in the middle east. we've got some showers coming into the live and we'll pick up the story there in a 2nd. but 1st, let's get you to the gulf states those wins finally starting to back off a bit on mondays. so for example, the wind gusts on monday of about 40 kilometers per hour and sort of may see some showers around the l, her jar mountains. most scott has a high of 24 degrees now with those wind starting to back off, that means the temperatures in doha will come up to 25 degrees that slightly above average with a mix of signing cloud. on tuesday. they see some showers leak into the southwest pakistan of ardour. 24 degrees, but elsewhere,

things fairly settled. corruption. we've got you in for 27 degrees. ok, primacy. we would talk about these showers seeping into the levant. this is mostly for lebanon into areas of syria. nothing major here, but just something to be on the look out for. so we go toward southern africa right now. this is where the intense rain is falling from angola right through to tanza, near the same goes for western areas of namibia, very likely to see some flooding here. and we're keeping an eye on another disturbance that could cook up into something tropical as it makes its way to madagascar in the days to come. that sure i see later. ah, the weather sponsored by katara always dictatorships to democracy as to this to corporations, control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want him to hear. we care about the environment you do to you should buy our oil, please for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid,

you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you could see on al jazeera, for ah, welcome back up your comment about top stories here. this, our ukraine has called the talks within 48 hours. but in russia and members of the organization for security and cooperation in europe, it's also invited u. s. president joe biden to give, following a 50 minute phone call and ukrainian seeking transparency on russia's military build up. the number of russian forces in bella loses the biggest, was the end of the cold war, engaged in intensive wargames. and the court of arbitrations expected thrown out

soon, whether the russian figure scapes camilla valley eva, will be allowed to continue competing at the winter olympics, and beijing, 15 year old, tested positive for a band hot medication at a pre, a live event. let's look ahead to the german chancellor visit to moscow now where energy is expected to be high. on the agenda, germany gets more than a half, it's gas supplies from russia, and that dependency is set to increase. if the german government gives its final approval for a russian own gas pipeline, an odd stream to has been at the center of a disagreement between the u. s. in germany. it's owned by russia's state back energy giant gas from and is expected to operate from western siberia to germany. the 11000000000 dollar project was completed in september and could potentially supply heating to 26000000 german homes and the u. s. and says, these plans won't move forward if russia invades ukraine. washington sees the pipeline as a way for moscow to increase its leverage in europe by gas prices have been soaring

. ukraine and poland of voice, their opposition to nord stream to it's also put washington in a difficult position with some of its european allies. and there's been some division within germany's new coalition. the government, but rough i losses from the european council on foreign relations. he explained why the project is creating wider security concerns. for the longest time, german government and local not want to have come to the last to where the purity protective project after political or geopolitical dimension off the project. whereas at the same time, a call from the criminal point of view, this was very much a committee was supposed to circumvent ukraine as a transit can country, am in order to gain leverage over key f and to develop a pressure point in the center of europe in germany, men, as we see now, the question of rising enterprises in germany and across europe raised some questions for the, for the german government. but i think the brought up political situation in europe

. the security situation. you know, quite obvious challenge from russia not only through the security and territory integrity of ukraine, but to the broader europe. insecurity, auto. i'm sure res or germany, quite serious questions and no one expects that that term you will keep the pipeline on 9 should be every record tech entity prints, but it would be difficult and that would be incentive for russia during campaign and ukraine to attack ukrainian gas infrastructure and then raise the question for germany, want to keep trying to close, bent half energy prices rise and people clamoring in the cold or do you we open up to and so there are, there are pressure points that edgy relations but go beyond the certainly in russian, german relations that the kremlin is quite an exploiting leverage. police

have cleared the remaining protested and vehicles and a bridge on canada's border with the us, but the crossing is not yet open to traffic. the blockade was part of protests across canada against coded $900.00 vaccine mandates. and b, c correspondent, count perry has moved from windsor 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 inner states 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. is there any security forces of shot dead, a 17 year old palestinian boy, the occupied west bank? mama deborah sala was shot in the head during om confrontations at a village west of jennings city. 11 others were injured when his ready forces opened. fire and palestinians protesting against the demolition of a prisoner's home. and 3 of the houses and his ready police have cleared protest as any flash point suburban ship gerra in occupied east jerusalem demonstrations broke out as far right as railey and p began reopening a political office in the neighbourhood. shantora has become a symbol of palestinian resistance against israel. hundreds of palestinians, a lot have been evicted or facing eviction. now my fear violence in southern italy's puleo region is escalating businesses have been targeted in a spate of bombings and often attacks that but attempts to get rid of underworld mobs for years. but as adam randy reports from city of full. yeah, that's not likely to happen anytime soon. the aftermath of

a string of recent bombings in arson attacks and for just a small city and southern italy, no injuries were reported. that the message was clear, the local mafia was pushing back. over the past 2 years, police have seized millions of dollars in assets and made several arrests. some businesses are now refusing to pay protection money to the mafia. alessandra, vito ran a construction firm here forth until his business was burned down by the mob facing death threats. he relocated his family and now had the new launch to local anti racketeering association. she thought she was on the train by some estimates 70 percent of businesses here pay protection to the mafia. a figure we con, confirm with the association. we are trying to show people, they are not alone. the only way to route else's problem is to stand up together. in the wake of the bombings police have increased patrols and investigations and

set up routing checkpoints. poor and under developed like much of the south fortune has been the base for the so called forth mafia. for decades, unknown to many outside italy, the collection of clans in the area make most of their money of extortion, drug trafficking and prostitution. the bombing weren't jeff directed at people not paying protection donor. this flower shop that was bombed, wouldn't speak up on camera, but she said, no one ever came here asking her for money. and that's what scares for most investigator said these attacks were meant to spread fear. prosecutor antonia longer showed us the mafia's reach here and have a good role. this area on the southeast coast of italy, we're going to need the the organization clearly feels the need for marketing attacks. i meant to send a clear message. the 5 we are here and she's yeah, despite recent gains longer isn't convinced to take the local mafia down soon. son

walter to me, but i'm not optimistic. the path to justice is going to be a long one. there. awesome. hopeful signs of the situation is still uncertain. there are lots of powerful clams on the culture of crime. here. fiji, let me look at the jill anti and his family run a chain of health clinics in the area. treating thousands of patients, the mafia came calling, despite the risks, his family said no, no monuments, not me if he is in the future. if my children follow in my footsteps in this work book after teaching them their whole life about morality, christian values are tough to say, look, if you want to continue this work, you'll have to give money to criminals at all. it would be hypocritical and absurd . a really awful thing for them. not all here feel they can stand up to the mob. they know when the police aren't there to protect them, the mafia could come calling again. adam rainy al jazeera fudge italy, a voters in switzerland that approved and the a total ban on tobacco advertising,

despite strong opposition by the government. supporters hope it will discourage young people from taking up a habit in the country with one of the highest rates of smoking in europe. me back . it's an image of 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, there's only 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 group of of the coolant. at least i voted in favor of banning tobacco advertising and minors. 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 it's time to get tougher on tobacco. neve bulkhead al jazeera. i'd almost 80 percent of swiss voters rejected a proposal to ban animal testing, act of a say more than 500000 animals, died in swiss laboratories in 2020. they wanted switzerland to become the 1st country to band medical and scientific experiments on animals adjoining school in

the rocky city of basra, as providing woman with the skills that they need to take control not only on the road but off it should in wolf as the story actually, neural ali isn't as teaching women how to drive. she's creating a space for them to discuss the challenges they face in everyday life. somehow. oh, so how society is a conservative one? it's not easy for a woman to establish a project. for example, i stablished driving center 7 years ago, i only managed to prove myself in the past year in germ of society and family challenges. despite again in their trust, i was hardly able to make it. it's not easy for a woman to reach her goals. because of tribal and religious restrictions. uh huh. 35 women are enrolled in her course. well, she hopes to do more than just empower them behind the wheel towel and mother in

the we had to leave her the magenta. whenever the woman wants to take part in this field, society always puts her down and creates an obstacle in front of her. my husband encouraged him, it will take driving lessons, but my family or paused it because they thought i had no knowledge of the street. they described it as some photo stuff. this instilled fear inside me, but i overcame that field and came to learn. while iraqi women have been license to drive for decades, boshra is a conservative part of the country. so the school here is teaching women a broader set of skills. they are that are willing to play a law. driving is women a stable and strong personality and makes her feared nothing and does not make her rely on any one in life. that is the most important thing in my opinion, that he, this school is hoping to make a difference by shifting the narrative one step at a time chilling wolf outer sierra. it's been something of

a hollywood ending at the biggest sporting spectacle in the us. the home team be los angeles rams have become super bowl champions. they edge past the cincinnati bengals in the 4th quarter to win 2320. more than a 100000000 people had been expected to watch the game. a feature of course, is the half time show which include some of the biggest names in west coast rap ah, directly check the top stories here. ukraine has called for talks within 48 hours, been russia, and members of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. it's also invited u. s. president joe biden, to the capital kia following a 50 minute phone call out to 0. how does your castro has more.
