4:01 pm
a teenager shot by israeli forces during demonstrations in the occupied west back and the singapore air show florence, the latest technology open to leave pandemic turbulence behind and is full for just the 2nd sign in franchise history, the los angeles rams have their hands on the super bowl trophy. the rams beating the cincinnati bengals seems secure the nfl biggest problem. ah, giovanni's chancellor has met you cranes, president vladimir zalinski in the latest diplomatic, pushed by the west to avert a feared russian invasion of ukraine were expecting to hear from both leaders at any moment. olaf schoultz will continue on to moscow to meet with washers liter vladimir putin on tuesday. russia meanwhile says that it can see a way forward with talks, but foreign minister. so gay lover of says he is still not satisfied with responses
4:02 pm
from the e. u and nato, to moscow's security concerns his, our coverage team for this, our daughter jabari is in moscow. daughter kate is in berlin. but 1st we'll go live to natasha butler, who is in key as we were expecting the president and chancellor to give a press briefing study what over 40 minutes ago now, what can we read into the fact that it's so late? oh, yes sir. all i've shown in volume is lensky are due to give a press briefing are off to that meeting, but it seems that they are still talking whether or not that is a good sign or it is hard to tell. there has to be said though, of course the shows is just the latest a western leader to come here to ukraine, trying to continue infer that the diplomacy go down the path of dialogue, hopefully at some point to trying to vote at what people worry could be another war
4:03 pm
on european soil. now schultz is expected to talk to zalinski about the possibility of germany offering more financial assistance and aid to to ukraine. the economy here really being very severely heads are by this good crisis. i'm the had been some concern frustration though among some ukrainian officials. the berlin is not offering any weapons. that is something that ukraine has wanted is something the we expect the prison tier to request to from the german chancellor once again. so far though, a refusal from berlin to offer any military assistance of that sort. natasha battle them live in here. let's go to berlin. donna kane, as their daughter, germany in a fairly tricky position and its efforts to play peacemaker here. very tricky. indeed. this is natasha was just saying, saying that the germans not gonna offer weapons to the ukrainians,
4:04 pm
certainly not any kind of assistance that would form any kind of lethal threat to any other force as it were. and that is the essence of the problem here. mister schultz is there with president zalinski. remember the last seni, a german official elected official. that is a went to kia, was analynn available to foreign minister. and she was in some people's eyes snubbed by president zalinski. it was called technical reasons why they couldn't meet, but that's how it was perceived. so there's a clear problem here. the german chancellor is effectively hoping that he can be cast characters that were as this mediator, perhaps peacemaker. and yet, in his mission to kiev, what's he doing? he's saying we're going to help you where your biggest financial help are in so far as europe is concerned, we'll help you everything we can, we won't give you weapons. and yet then when he then goes on later as it were, tomorrow when he's meeting president puts in, what's he going to do? he's not going to mention perhaps the one thing people here think he should mention,
4:05 pm
which is the norm stream to pipeline. remember this time last week mr. shots was meeting president biden, and president biden said, if there's an act of aggression from the russians, we will make sure that not stream to this new pipeline from russia to western europe, that comes the mix landfall in germany. well, that will never happen. well, that's something that mr. shots would not talk about. so there's many, many pressures on mister shots, and remember the ultimate pressure here in germany. very many people in society really don't want to see german weapons. german, ominous german, munitions in the hands of any kind of force that could use that mean those munitions against the russians. such is the historical collective sense of guilt in this country over what nazi germany did to the soviet union. 7580 years ago. out there a started cane reporting live from berlin. let's go to moscow. then i get the view from the dosage. barry is with president putin rushes foreign minister lever
4:06 pm
off of been talking. what do we know of what's been said? well, this was a meeting that was broadcast on state tv, which is quite unusual and the conversation between the 2 men and made very clear for the entire country to be heard. the russian foreign minister briefed vladimir putin about nato and united states response to russia's security guarantees that there are seeking. and the foreign minister said that although the responses from the americans about the core issues that russia was concerned about were negative, there was a lot of points that provided an opportunity for further discussions. the russian foreign minister also said that he has prepared a 10 page response to what the americans have sent back. this is something we've been waiting for over 2 weeks now for the russians to respond. and vladimir putin was very keen to take a look at what the russian foreign minister and his and consultations were various
4:07 pm
different officials of come back with and, and the russian president also a keen, clearly to hear a circle of robs opinion about where things stand. the russian foreign minister also said that they are there are proposals, concrete proposals from the americans, which will reduce military tensions and provide a path forward. i think this is being going to be seen as a circular, rob at making a very public gesture to try and calm the current situation to move forward. really saying that the russians believe there is a path forward with intense dialogue, but really the core issues remain unresolved. we've also been hearing that the russian defense minister survey chicago has been meeting with vladimir putin in the past few minutes. and the defense minister has told the president that some of those military military drills that the russian military's taking part in have come
4:08 pm
to an end. it's not clear what will happen next. or there were not, some of the troops will pull back or reposition. but that meeting is ongoing, of course will bring you more at once. we get information he's in care of today. the chancellor sholtes had to moscow to morrow. what sort of reception when a good well, it's slightly going to be very much depending on how things go and what the chancellor says in care of in the coming hours. but the german chance was scheduled to meet with the russian president. and there, this is going to be part of this ongoing diplomatic effort to try and reduce tensions. i think vladimir putin feels like at this country's concerns are not being heard. and i think and depending on what the german chancellor discusses and how things go in care and what he brings here later this evening, it will be dick that will depend on how this meeting goes. but i think for their
4:09 pm
part that germany has been quite dawson than their tone about what's been taking place and seemingly trying not to take sides. but it's a very difficult position, of course, given the economic ties and they're heavily reliant on russian gas. germany is at the moment and i think things are a bit more complicated for germany than the other european countries. so they, german chancellor is going to have a very serious challenge trying to balance the 2 countries that there is visiting. so we'll have to wait and see what comes out of those meetings. and kevin, how things unfold. here are moscow on tuesday. i'll just restore some jabari live in moscow. and now we're going to take you to washington on whitehouse. corresponded kimberly elkin, is that, kimberly ukraine says the u. s. president joe biden has been invited to key of the big question i suppose is will he go yeah, that is the big question and we're still waiting for an answer. yeah. during you
4:10 pm
might see this valentine that is over my shoulder there. this is valentine's day in the united states, and it's a tradition of the 1st lady did decorate the lawn behind the reporters. this time it says a verse from the bible. first corinthians, 1313, that is, 3 things will last forever, faith, hope and love. and the greatest of these is love ukrainians. not really feeling the love right now though, because they haven't had an answer to their invitation and they're still waiting, and there is nothing on the president's schedule that seems to indicate that we are going to get that answer, at least in the very near future, the fact, the president isn't even here at the moment. he has been away for the weekend. he will be returning it about 2 and a half hours time. he will be receiving his daily briefing. but in the interim, there has been a very coordinated sort of beating of the war drums. not sure, valentine is going to soften that at all. in fact, the national security advisor says that in coordination with partners and allies,
4:11 pm
the u. s. is still ramping up, preparing for what they say is an imminent invasion of russia into ukraine. in fact, the national security advisor jake sullivan, will be on capitol hill. he will be briefing both members of the house as well as the u. s. senate and we are also going to be briefed by the white house press secretaries deputy press secretary today, hoping to get some clear answers on whether or not the president will accept that invitation. but right now, the white house, the saying, very little, always house course wanted. kimberly, how could i live in washington? kimberly many thanks. indeed. well, this is the scene in cuba where chancellor shoals and ukraine's president zalinski are due to give to a press briefing following the talk. so it should your to begin over 50 minutes ago . now. i still know some of them. they're still talking. we wonder what it is that is that they are talking about. we will find out obviously when they come out and
4:12 pm
speak to the press, we will take that live here on al jazeera as and when it begins. so, more coverage of ukraine ahead in the usa will analyze rocky markets watts down what's up as investors, french about the a possible invasion, also ahead, a new place to call home. the challenge is facing african refugees recently in the u. s. and sport elliptic history of this loan wida at the winter games of beijing andi here with that in the rest of the days actually a little later ah, is that you know, to suit where protested of once again returned to the streets to denounce military rules. security forces a fight tear gas to disperse demonstrators who are marching towards the presidential palace in the capital cartoon. on sunday, a full member of the dissolve transitional council was arrested. thousands have
4:13 pm
been staging weekly, riley's since the military takeover in october. really 80 people have been killed by security forces since then at least 4 people have been killed and others injured in an explosion in somalia. it happened a the city of jo hop, which is around 100 kilometers north of the capital. mogadishu witnesses say that a roadside bomb went off as a took took, carrying passengers was passing by a palestinian teenager has been shot dead by israeli security forces during unrest near the city of janine and the occupied westbank. no good. 11 other people were injured when troops opened fire on those who are protesting against the demolition of a home which belonged to a palestinian prisoner accused of killing and is really settled in december. activists have condemned such demolitions as a form of collective punishment which f helper is director and founder of the
4:14 pm
israeli committee against house demolitions. he explains why is really forces demolished the home. this is what israel calls, punitive punishments. so in other words, israel demolish is home wholesale, not only in the west bank and gaza, but also inside israel. we have to remember that since $967.00, it's demolished about $60000.00 palestinian homes community centers, mos schools and businesses and so on. this is a particular kind of demolition that we're talking about. and that is when someone is accused of what is your calls of terrorist action. what palestinian see is resistance on part of the punishment, even if they're killed and they haven't been in trial or even if they've been caught and they haven't been tried yet. a israel moves very quickly to demolish their homes. in other words, the homes of their families. i mean,
4:15 pm
one of these kids was 17 years old. i think the other one was 20 years old. so even if they were guilty, let's say of a crime or, or, or, or a resistance activity. you know, in international law prohibits, did demolition of ok. it prohibits collective punishment. so israel is not allowed in international law to demolish the home of the family. russian figure status case her comment valley eva has been cleared to continue competing at the winter olympics. and paging, despite failing a doping test, she was suspended last week after testing positive for a parent substance as an event before the games. the decision allows valeo as a compete in the women's event on tuesday, which is the favor to win. katrina, you has more from beijing for the court of arbitration for sport or cas decided that valley ever will be able to continue competing and will appear as scheduled into moore's individual figure skating event due to several exceptional

4:17 pm
her fault. now valley eva would very likely, very relieve by this, but not everyone is happy already. the u. s. olympic committee have expressed disappointment, although the i r c says they're going to abide by this ruling. and who solder the u . s. anti doping agency has reminded people that we still need to show compassion for value because she's still just a child. almost all of the afghans are lifted to the us as the fall of the taliban settling into new homes. and while many a relieved to be there, some face uncertain future don't zeros christians looming on after our family. in the state of new jersey, they found a place to live now after fleeing afghanistan, with little more than the clothes on their backs liquid near the alum. mazata family has only a few months to figure out how to pay for it. i am going to start everything from 0 rama toola ala mazata worked as an interpreter back hall. you so does make up. that

4:19 pm
a search like we'd never experience in terms of arrival. i found the alameda family and more than 200 other afghans, a place to live, nearly triple their annual numbers in a part of the country where affordable housing is hard to come by. and a matter of 6 months, the united states re settled all but $7000.00 afghans, evacuated as part of operation allies. welcome into communities across the country . but those 7000 remain on 2 military bases. wine in wisconsin, and one here in new jersey. but some families, tired of waiting for a placement, have begun leaving on their own. according to the hebrew immigrant age society, highest is one of the 9 resettlement agencies tasked with overseeing community placements capacity. why fi were not ready? i'm wondering why we were not ready that we will be able to support and ask them arrivals, eliminate the other. that's

4:23 pm
bullet casings. have become in all too common sight authorities tell us that scenes of brutal violence like this one in the 100 capital, are just the tip of the iceberg in a far more complex security situation that affects nearly every corner of the country. in honduras is poorest neighborhoods, gangs, particularly m. s 13 and the 18th street gang are notorious for crimes like extortion. and for the recruitment of young children, those who resist often pay with their lives. when this young mother who has asked us to hide her identity, says she was tortured by gang members and forced to flee her home after refusing to pay extortion money a month. but oh me as you only we faced humiliation. we've lost our house because of the gangs my children cry and said to me, mama, be good for us to go someplace else where they won't want to kill us. imagine a 7 year old boy saying that to a lack of confidence in hunter and authorities means victims of violence,

seldom report crime to police and security experts say collusion between criminal groups and government officials permeates across all levels of society. i mean, it be most unfortunately received, had different politicians and government leaders have been linked to drug trafficking. we see that there are high rates of community corruption and weakness in the rule of law. ebit ordonia is a deputy police commissioner tells al jazeera that despite modest advances in reducing the national homicide rate. reigning in the violence often feels like a losing battle through our online video in comparison to previous years. the incidence of crime has actually decreased, but perhaps in some communities it's risen due to factors like local culture or in communities where gangs exist in great numbers. ah ponderous has a rate of $38.00 homicides per 100000 residents, making it one of the most dangerous countries in latin america. international

4:26 pm
north. this is a much dry, a picture, lots of heat here. and of course, the winds kicking up, that's the horizontal blowing it across to the atlantic. it's going to get wet and windy as well for coastal areas of algeria to nicea and libya, thanks to a weather system blowing east across the mediterranean. and i was going to bring some showers to the live band in places like lebanon and syria. we'll see them start to creep in. we've seen some flooding in oman, thanks to heavy rain. we are going to see a few more showers here. but across the gulf, it's a relatively quiet picture, and things are going to start to warm up with a temperature in doha, at $25.00 car. many thanks. asia's biggest air show as taking offered singapore this week. like last year, the ocean sector hopes the 2022 will be a turning point or to seeing balance sheets wiped out by the pandemic. leah harding reports a display of the world's finest aircraft. a look into what's on the market and how these machines are impacting,
4:27 pm
global travel. the seal poor air show takes place every 2 years. but this is the 1st time it's being held during the pandemic. we all know in this current environment, yes, it is. the attendance sheet, he surely be lower, tester sd. i think that's all of us. we expect that. but as far as a quality is concerned and not worry about that. because you, we, if assemble a high quality setup exhibitors. a modern 70 percent of the top 20 global aerospace companies are here. key players such as boeing, airbus and engine makers. rolls royce will still be attending and the show will be a rare opportunity to hold in person meetings with customers to drum up new business. but with asia pacific battling a fierce wave of the armor con variant, the 4 day air show will still be relatively muted. a parallel to the reality of the travel sector in this part of the world. while the united states in europe have
4:28 pm
eased restrictions and demand has rebounded, asia lags far behind. foreign tourists are barred from entering, and mandatory quarantines are still in place in many countries. we are starting to see green shoots in industry. like passenger travel numbers are up. flight frequencies are up, i think we can all sense the pent up be mon fall, travel. we also can see and sense optimism. there are positive signs for 2020 to several places such as australia, new zealand, and the philippines are lifting bands on overseas visitors. but industry figures warn there's a long way to go. lia harding al jazeera, much more to come. hell that is our, including changing gears, the iraq a driving school. that's empowering women both on the road and off at his for the chinese teenager flying high in pursuit of another olympic time.
4:29 pm
ah, talk to al jazeera, we ask, do you believe that the threats of an invasion of ukraine is currently the biggest threat international peace and security? we listen, we are focusing so much on the humanitarian crisis that we forget the long term development we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stool restock matter on al jazeera, for generations. this indigenous community has lived off of what the rain forest provides, but when they discovered that their territory was being invaded by gold mining projects all along their river, the community brought a lawsuit against a po to us government. you've won, you want the unprecedented ruling obliges the state to consult communities over oil and mining projects that impact their land and to seek their consent. the tiny seemingly community has won a huge battle,
4:30 pm
but they not necessarily have the last word. since the court ruling does leave room for exceptions in the name of overriding national interests, hulu. ah, get adrian. so they get here in dela, with the news off from al jazeera headlines, germany's chancellor has met ukraine's president of a lot of male zalinski. at the latest diplomatic, pushed by the west will thus have feared washing invasion of ukraine of shops will travel on to moscow. to meet president vladimir putin on tuesday, wilson's lensky work due to speak in care more than an hour ago. as soon as they emerge will take you straight to that press conference. russia meanwhile says that he can see
4:31 pm
a way forward through talks to foreign minister. so gay lover off says he's still not satisfied with responses from the u. s. e u and nato, to moscow's security. so the russia, ukraine crisis put global markets on edge european markets, namely frankfurt, paris, and london, sank earlier on monday after asian stalks took a hit. russia's main stock market has also been dragged down its currency. the rubel is weaker against the us dollar. oil prices though, have hit an 8 year high due to fear that the conflict could hit supplies. jaya met on is a senior fellow at the i. c. s. use of the issue institute, which studies social and economic trends, and chance with us now live from singapore. john stock markets are behaving just as you'd expect them to behave like a flock of sheep that nervous, that jittery. always the same. to be honest, most of us don't have great exposure to the stock market. what we should be more worried about perhaps is what's happening to oil prices right now. and interest
4:32 pm
rates. right? yes. i think that's an important point. bear in mind when the source of dispute so invasion, we fear feeds into higher commodity prices, especially energy prices. then they feed right through the economy and affects the prices of all kinds of goods and services that we consume. so inflation i think, is the big concern, even if you are not invested in the stock market and that will bite into your budge, sing, power, and what the fix, basically your standard of living. and this is all happening at a very difficult time as countries in this region and trying to recover from this long period of locked down and then damage. so it's a consequence effective, i think, the absolutely right, it's not just the stock market,
4:33 pm
although even stock market effect retirement funds that we all have, but it will feed through inflation. and that's the big fear. how bad get john? well, i mean if there's an invasion, then i think, you know, you'll find that there's a lot of disruption. i mean, it's very hard to put a number to these things, but you can see a huge adjustment, i think, in commodity prices, russia and ukraine allowed suppliers at some oddities. you know, the larger explosive oil for the largest exporter, the largest producer, and also lots of metals, wheat. so lots of commodity prices are already spiking. will get probably significantly higher. and this is the worst time that that could happen. so i think timing is part of the problem as well. is there anything that central banks and
4:34 pm
governments can do to, to ease the pain if you like to to, or is it a bit like playing workable for them? well, central banks around the world now in the mood of trying to put a lid on inflationary expectations, we have had a very long period of very low real interest rates. so the preoccupation now, and it's in the chart very often is to keep interest rates under control, stop inflation from rising. and that's the problem. i think the fed, we'll see a large number of rate rises this year, and this will feed through to other central banks around the region. which are, you know, interlinked through integrated financial capital markets. so there's not much savings,
4:35 pm
all easing that we can expect and it will be the reverse with rising nominal and really is transmission bite for the into our spending power on that rather bleak out child. and we will leave it many thanks. indeed for being with us is really good to talk to dr. men of that in the as you just heard, energy lighting up high be high on the german chancellor left sholtes mind when he meets russia's president vladimir putin. on tuesday, germany gets more than half its gas supplies for russia, and that dependency will increase if the german government gives its final approval for a russian owned gas pipeline node stream to which could potentially supply heat to 26000000 german homes. but the u. s. insist that those plans won't move forward if russia invades ukraine. washington sees the pipeline as a way for moscow to increase its leverage in europe. you crate and poland to voice
4:36 pm
their opposition to north stream too. it's also for washington in a difficult position with some of its european allies, and there's division within germany's new coalition government profit loss is from the european council on foreign relations explains more about how the project is creating wider security concerns. for the longest time, german government and local not want to have considered monitoring to as a purely private tech project after the political or geopolitical dimension of the project. whereas at the same time, a call from the criminal point of view, this was very much, it was supposed to circumvent ukraine as a transit can country. i'm in order to, to gain leverage of a key f and to develop pressure point in the center of europe in germany. men, as we see now, the question of rising energy prices in germany and across europe. raise some questions for the, for the german government. but nonetheless, i think the brought up political situation in europe. the security situation,
4:37 pm
you know, quite obvious challenge from russia not only through the security and territory integrity of ukraine, but to the product europe insecurity, auto should raise for germany. quite serious questions. and no one expects that, that germany would keep the pipeline on 9 should be every record tech entity prints, but it would be difficult and that would be incentives for russia during campaign and ukraine to attack ukrainian data infrastructure and then raise the question for germany. was to keep watch him too close, bent half energy prices rise and people clamoring in the cold or do you, we open not seem to. and so there are, there are pressure points that and relations, but go beyond the certainly in russian german nation, that the kremlin is quite an exploiting leverage versus in 3 indian states been casting pallets and local elections, people in one region of india's most popular state udo pradesh, among them,
4:38 pm
elections are seen as a test of the popularity of prime minister and ramadi and his governing fee j. p pos, he pumping the towel, reports now from amerihope in o to pradesh. were outside the pulling station in umbrella han with the british and people are lining up to cost a vote in what is in just biggest state election. now that with the issues home to more than 200000000 people and sends a maximum number of parliamentarians to the center, this election is seen as the lid missteps to prime minister in the rain to move these popularity and the b j piece policies. now and the last election in 2017, the party won a landslide victory. but since then the board has dwindled among the many families that back the party. for one, many of them participated in la yeah. long agitation against the 3 farm laws. these were eventually revolt, but far must say that a nomic distress has crept in for one. some of them has continued to protest
4:39 pm

yet the swiss government has advised people to vote no, you are. 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 about 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 so is could face a 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 parker al jazeera
