why a western lead is turning a blind eye when even their own citizens have fallen victim to his repression. executions, torture censorship is not acceptable. and you won't hear such strong words from, let's say berlin or paris or london. oh, man. in cairo on al jazeera, ah, this is al jazeera, ah, hello, i'm adrian said again. this is, these are live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. rushes military says that some of its forces near ukraine's border a returning to base. after completing the drills, the troops are going back as the german chancellor, olaf schultz arrives in moscow for talks with president vladimir putin. canada

activates emergency powers never used before that and empathy and protests against covet 19 vaccine rules and garbage piled up on beaches, livelihood still in ruins. 2 months after typhoon rice swept across the philippines and is full and limpid. official has revealed the details of camilla by live as a doping defense. it's claimed contamination with her grandfather's heart medication could have resulted in the russian's cases positive test. ah, russia says that some of its troops had bolted military drills to ukraine, pulling back about returning to base salt to completing the exercises. the drills have been a significant factor in the crisis between russia and ukraine, which along with wes,

the nation's fear that moscow is planning an invasion on. busy the diplomatic front, the german chancellor is in moscow on the 2nd leg of a mission aimed at defusing, the crisis. a criminal has suggested that the plan as he is still possible to in easing the standoff. late on monday, ukraine's president followed. amir zalinski addressed the nation, calling for a day of unity on wednesday. that's when some of warned, but russia will invade. we have to correspondence of the region. this is latasha butler standing by for us in kia 1st. let's go to dorsey jabari, who's in moscow. so we have, we're that some russian of forces of completed the maneuvers at a returning to base what, what do we know? how significant is this? well, it's certainly significant. i think given the current climate that we are in, during this crisis, we heard this announcement from the sheep spokesperson of the russian defense ministry. major,

general eager kind of shank of who i said that these drills are still ongoing, but parts of the units are falling back to their home bases as a result of the exercises as some of the exercises coming to an end. and this was, of course, in announcer that was welcomed by the foreign ministry as spokesperson, as well as she, as issued a statement saying that, and this is going to be seen as a victory for this country without a single shot being fired. but at the spokesperson for the defense mystery explained at what is taking place and exactly which troops are falling back. here's what he had to say. we are going to be at the way with a number of combat readiness events including training have been accomplished in accordance with plans. as soon as combat readiness events get finished, troops as always will march to their permanent patience 1000000 units of the southern and western military districts which have accomplished their mission, have already begun boarding trains and trucks, and we'll start moving to their military garrison's later today. so yesterday it

was in ukraine today, germany's chance of olaf sholtes as that and moscow. what can we expect from meetings that also ah, well, a, she has 3 things on the agenda to discuss with russian president vladimir putin. and the 1st thing will be the current crisis with ukraine and the ongoing tensions . the 2nd will be about russia, security concerns when it comes to nato's further expansion. and the 3rd will be all at that very important nor strew to pipeline. if this is a gas pipeline, that is yet to be operational, even though it was completed last september, it costs $11000000000.00 to finish, but it still hasn't received the appropriate approvals from the german government to start working. it will double the import of gas from russia to germany, and this is being seen by many here that to the russian. and the german government rather, is using it as a geopolitical weapon that this will be, of course,

very important discussion because the americans have said that should russia invade ukraine? there will be heavy sanctions and this pipeline will never become operational. the german chancellor has yet to this point, avoided directly stating whether or not he supports that statement, but this employ visit will certainly be discussing that nordstrom to pipeline, amongst many of the other issues that are ongoing. the chancellor in kevin said that there was no justification for the troops build up alongside the border with ukraine after city. today's announcement from the defense ministry, maybe it will shed some light on the current situation. but certainly, the russians have said that the diplomatic path remains open. we've heard from survey lover of telling vladimir putin die despite the fact that the russians have received a negative response from the u. s. government about their security guarantee proposals. there's still a diplomatic path to pursue and options remain open when it comes to dialogue. so

it's german chancellor, being the latest diplomat to visit moscow to carry on this diplomatic dialogue. or i don't so many thanks indeed out as there is dawson jibari there live in moscow that's got a care of then natasha butler is so that for us at what's been the reaction there to this news that some russian forces have begun to return to base we have heard from ukraine's of foreign minister to metro calais vall, let me just read you what he has said. he has said that we and our allies have managed to prevent russia from any further escalation. it is already the middle of february and you can see that diplomacy is continuing to work. so he's obviously seeing this as a positive sign. but you know, the mood here really does swing between pessimism. an optimism almost on a daily basis. we are, are in a city that so some u. s. intelligence has said it could be under attack at any moment,

could be encircled by russian troops or any day now. but that's just not the feeling you get when you are out in the bounce. in the city where normal life seems to be on the way things are going, people are going to school, you know, i was walking around, i saw people off to work, the tramps will pack. there's lots of traffic people in shops and restaurants on monday, even it was valentine's, of course. and there were a couples in restaurants having in a romantic dinners, this does not feel like a city a possibly that is going to be under siege. but there are some signs that people are starting to worry about starting to make some contingency plans, making sure that their documents are in order making sure they perhaps have some stocks of food and water at home. or in fact, one of the service station manager that we spoke to said that some of his large jerry cans are the people use for fuel have sold out because people also stocking up on fuel. so some people are starting to think, look, if something does happen,

it is best that we're prepared or amid this ongoing flurry of diplomacy, what now does the, the europe, the ukrainian government want western leaders to do? will the ukrainian government is very pleased the western leaders are continuing to follow the path of diplomacy all continuing with their efforts to try and avert a war in europe. there have been a number of high profile leaders, western leaders and officials coming through here the capital city, a keep speaking to the president or we have all of shoals in moscow today. all those things are very welcome indeed. but there has been a certain amount of frustration over the past few weeks, even months, really because we've seen this russell build up now for many months indeed of from ukrainian government, from the ukrainian government here. who say, why are western powers waiting for something to happen?

why aren't they doing something now? and what they mean is why on western power is imposing some of the sanctions that they're threatening to impose a right now. so for example, freezing assets and of some of the big russian oligarchs that are in some of the major cities and well, paris and london, new york, a targeting those close to vladimir putin. these are some of the actions that the ukrainian government would like to see happening now to prevent any form of attack rather than after, out there with a trash buffer reporting live from care of natasha. many things you as president joe biden, as again, spoken by phone with british prime minister boris johnson. agreeing window for diplomacy is still open, but washington is taking no chances with its diplomatic staff based in ukraine. as hydro, castro reports, the u. s. says decided to close its embassy in here, due to russia's military escalation on a friday and border. an invasion,

as we have said, could begin at any time. should decide to order it. there would be widespread human suffering. americans and ukraine had been told to leave the country, but a core group of us diplomats will remain. they'll work from the city of leave, further west from the border with russia. despite the embassies closure, the white house says it remains actively engaged in finding a diplomatic solution to the crisis. the path for diplomacy remains available. if russia chooses to engage constructively. however, we are clear eyed about the prospect of that given the steps russia is taking on the ground in plain sight, president biden says he will not send us troops to defend ukraine in the event of an invasion. but american soldiers are standing by across the border in poland, a member of the nato alliance. real lives will be at risk ukrainian lives to be

sure, but also russian lives. this. this will not be bloodless. this will not be easy. a pentagon spokesman says the us has not concluded that russia's president has decided to invade ukraine, but that an invasion could come with little or no warning. president invite and spoke with you case prime minister and discussed reinforcing nato's eastern defences. and the u. s. defense secretary is now headed to belgium, or he will meet with military allies. heidi joe castro algae 0. washington un secretary general antonio cherish has stepped up, his engagement with both sides in a potential sign of how concerned he is about the risk of conflict is on diplomatic . it's james base. until now, the united nations has been pretty much on the side lines of this crisis. the un secretary general knows that russia is a permanent member of the un security council with veto power bought. the secretary

general has now had a phone conversation with the russian foreign minister and with ukrainian foreign minister and as issued this strong statement do leave no stone unturned in the search for a peaceful solution. abandoning diplomacy for confrontation is not a step over the line. it is a vive, over the cliff. in short, my appeal is these do not fail the cause of peace. the secretary general was speaking after having lunch with the security council. secretary general can conflict be avoided? i believe so. the lunch meeting was hosted in the russian mission to the united nations. russia just happens this month to be the president of the council. other ambassadors who were there were reluctant to say much about what was discussed. it was the get discussion. it really was recent days here in the corridors of the united nations. have been very strange. you'll find some diplomats who tell you,

they believe that war is imminent. they'll be an invasion within days. and yet there are others who say that i think that will be a conflict. they think that president putin, who's always use the element of surprise, is going to surprise the world this time by doing nothing. which is given to pin for a few moments true, a press briefing being given by russia's foreign minister. so gay love rock. after talks with his polish counterpart, he says that trust among o. s. c. e countries. the organization of security and cooperation in europe is at a record low let's, let's listening for a moment. your minister and of course such as like to stress that the most important thing here is sir our dialogue with the us and with nato. with regard to legal ah, written security guarantees but

in the absence of their name success, in terms of a dialogue with the us, i think for such consultations in vienna will be fruitless, less with. so i think what we need is a more structured dialogues who it is part of the mandate of the i see city school, which you thought were going to look at a few short. so normally you retrieve and if we have an informal kind of arrangement, we risk the dialogue being fragmented, and all the questions remaining unresolved. it doesn't, you're put him with not the look of sense. good. obviously newton is not on the promise of your question. of course, over and above the us and nato, there is see,

doesn't have any legitimate status as an entity with your, with your, your see, oh boy, you're fine yet that you spoke to you when we are going his us. but it is a structured organization and we appreciate that giving you the form of a more still clue. and we are in favor of keeping that strict structure. because if we have any kind of loosening, it's only 2 easy to manipulate it should rocker with your logo. most of your mom, we need a broad base dialogue. so on the whole question of security in general and the european area as the new providers in the world will story short ballasa and the restoration of a proper stable balance between the 3 so called baskets here is see basket, some security. and we believe for school that day, she polish will go on to chairman sheffield. so if you will do its best to,

to have an honest issue to be an honest broker with the new rules. and we also talked about the other legal challenges of a, c, e, in spite of infection and infection trans mandrake crime scene. and they were present, lurch towards not says them and glorification of that system. we think it is very important not to have our attention distracted, a present circumstances from these very burning issues apiece, compressed. so when you, when you, when you do, when you're done with, of course we had to, because we focus particularly on the ukranian situation. as you can imagine,

you're on what we emphasize on the russian side was so the necessity to observe the means agreements in full with these renu with property. and we will, you could try to make sure the discussion goes on those, those kind of back kind of track and that we will have a direct job with key if you i should them at the go was come, we hope very much that there will be a constructed mutually respectful approach taken by the c mission. you can use them on data and the mission in accordance with its mission. well, observe all the humanitarian points

that i need because i said that the statement on their mission is spot break. and i think that we ought to go to not neglect and you know, and i see the whole rise of near not says i'm and ukraine and discrimination books from this movie. some of my stuff that interest of the see is a very widely held one against such discretion discrimination. i'd like to welcome the chairman to moscow. thank you very much funny. we're going to leave that to that it was rush us a foreign minister. so get off there speaking alongside his polish counterpart, he said the proposals and the resumption of talks on european security via the

organization of security and cooperation in europe. the o. s. c. interesting, but the dialogue with nato of the u. s. is more important. we'll keep listening to this. if there's anything newsworthy that comes out of it, we'll bring it to you here on al jazeera in the meantime, let's move on canada as prime minister as invoked emergency powers never used before to end protests against coven 19 restrictions. the so called freedom convoy began as a demonstration against vaccine mandates. more than 2 weeks ago. it sent spread to other cities and blocked border crossings with the u. s. i was there was alan fisher report the mean bridge, lincoln, canada to the u. s. is open again, police enforcing a court order ended the 60 blockade by protested demanding an end to corporate restrictions. they made several arrests and set up barricades to stop it happening again. the protest hit supply chains on both sides of the border. but outside

candidates parliament in ottawa, protesters are refusing to leave, even as the local government eases covered restrictions. prime minister just intruder has had enough invoking special emergency measures to confront the protectors. this is not a peaceful protest at the borders in different parts of the country. the blockades are harming our economy and endangering public safety. 1988 emergencies act allows the federal government to ensure security during national emergencies. this has never been used. a similar move was last employed in 1970, the prime minister then to the his father pierre. the scope of these measures will be time limited, geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportioned. the so called freedom convoy protests began because canadian truckers opposed

a vaccine or quarantine mandate for cross border drivers. it soon became a rallying point for people opposing the trudeau government. and now it spawned copycat protest globally. in belgium, demonstrators, there were joined by others from france, holland, and germany, to demand a hold to cover restrictions by europe's governments. the messages leave us alone. we are peaceful. we will leave you alone. we are not accepting any japs any more. and it israel, a convoy of trucks drove the main highway from tel aviv to jerusalem, heading for the parliament building. we all support canada and support the truckers corn v that went up to our to our and we do hear the same critics of accused the so called freedom convoys of having little popular support. but authorities are aware of the disruption. even small protest can cause and like canada,

i know examining what actions that are available to keep roads, bridges, and supply lines open. alan fisher al jazeera washington unvaccinated workers over the age of 50 in italy won't have access to their workplace from tuesday. it's an extension of the government's green pass health certificate, which is required to access most public venues. employees and the private and public sector will have to show proof of vaccination against cove at 19 that anyone court working without it could face fines and suspension without pay. thousands of nurses in australia's most popular state, new south wales of walked off the job for the 1st time in nearly a decade. there staging a 24 hour strike, demanding better pay and more staffing during the panic. the nurses defied a last minute order by the states industrial relations commission to call off the strike, which had said could put public health in danger. staff for more than $150.00 hospitals are taking part. ethiopia,

as parliaments has voted for an early end to a 6 months state of emergency. there was declared in november when rebels from the olden to grind region were threatening to march on the capital, addis ababa, they've since retreated and security has improved. a soldier has been killed and syria utter an explosive device designated under a military bus in damascus. state television says that 11 other people were injured . another army boss was blown up in the capital last october, killing 14 soldiers imprisoned russian dissident alexi. nev only is on trial again this time he's charged with fraud and insulting a judge. he's accused of embezzling funds from his now banned anti corruption foundation. the only narrowly survived and assassination attempts with by the chemical that no agent nava chalk in 2020 or the valley is already serving 2 and a half years at a labor camp northeast of moscow. he was jailed in february last year of violating

the terms of a suspended sentence in a separate fraud case. the crumbling critic was arrested for breaking those terms. the month before that when he flew home from germany, he had been receiving treatment in berlin hospital after being poisoned with the navi chalked nerve agent during an internal flight in russia. the volley and his political network of since been added to the government, terrorist and extremists watch list, alexi whatever is a rush, a specialist, an associate professor of national security and strategic studies at courtney university and path. he joins us now. live via skype from there. good to have you with us, sir. trials a meant to determine guilt or innocence. will this be a fair trial? is it politically motivated? look, i mean, even if it's not, it will be really difficult for the gramlin to prove that it has now taken it lately. now, only supposed to come out just months before the start of the presidential campaign,

which will allow the current president william william to run for the office in the 2nd consecutive. so obviously you will not be interested in seeing them on the back, on the streets during the board and, and trying to create a public distraction. so i think it's a, it's a way of actually keeping him at bay, keeping him behind behind bars without necessarily creating the situation that it was lost in the decision just as shortly before. and i've only supposed to leave his current prison. he mentioned his release coming just ahead of elections. but what do you make of the timing of this trial coming as it does with, with the tension surrounding ukraine and in the middle of the winter olympics and beijing well being that they choice of the simon has been quite the labor of because obviously the eyes of the world and certainly the west

is on your brain background in the winter olympics. so not only as much as when he's in the eyes of the with the media will not ratio any problem. and in fact, i believe that the kremlin believes that given the current state, the political negotiations concerning a question in russia and not been made in your brain. i think the problem bill is not only will be on on, on the bottom of the priorities for the west to discuss this matter with russia. right now, hans, is probably an ideal time to rob the trial so it doesn't look like it's happening in last moment. and at the same time, the attention of the west is, is elsewhere. what sort of jail time would nevada be get if he is found guilty? and would it be proportionate to the alleged crime?

there are a couple of charges that he has been accused the while as you mention in the, in their report is the fraud. and that may, i may get a bill or a or a couple years in addition to the current sentence. and i think all is required to be out of the game for the time of the election. the 2nd charge is installed on iraq, which can also either result in some prism samples. but i don't believe that would be a lengthy, maybe. oh. busy so they have, they have so very fine, but more importantly it's about them in him as someone who raised the law, create an impression dies the russell electra that she has not been by the role than someone with the offense, elderly and respected members of the russian community and by that discredit, describing it is, is that you as the charismatic russia so called on to stomach opposition to does

the found the pose, the threat that the russian state appears to think that he does to them? well the paradox is i don't think i can seriously count the pulliam. yes, he's a popular blog is he's a popular laugh promotes out of the corruption agenda. he is a very rich magic began to speak last him so that one of them does not support the current role in regime. but when it comes to making your decisions, i think the rational will not profit they've huge with not only because he, he's not going to be the one that manage it. but jones, i mean, you bring down there a map the government really, how are you surprised, but he doesn't open your bread people solution. so i think, you know, this sounds, i don't think the kremlin actually be as late as

a serious about they certainly wants to keep people say also because i think only personally or banded and they give offenses straight to the mom of asians in the past. really good to talk to so many thanks for being with us. like seem to be in puff. thank you. still to come here already is our campaigning begins and what's expected to be south. korea is the tightest presidential election in 2 decades. anger in mexico as the u. s. suspense, avocado imports on safety grounds at its sports, switzerland, enjoying another golden day of the winter olympics on us here with all the action from b j. ah

in moscow on the 2nd leg of a mission aimed at defusing, the crisis. the crumbling has suggested that diplomacy is still possible. it easing the standoff with java. charles sub will be walking a diplomatic tightrope in moscow so far he's been vague on the future of an old stream to gas pipeline. should russia invade? it runs from russia to germany at his vital to his country's energy needs. the economic stakes are also high. giovanni is russia's largest european trading popped up, is also the shadow of history. many germans in the east have an attachment to russia for its support of re unification with the west. or rick brooklyn is professor of political science at stanford university in berlin. he joins us now live vast skype from there. good to have you with us, sir, professor, to what extent that is schultz in a somewhat awkward position today as he meets putin? i mean, what can he do other than repeat western leaders?

threats of severe consequences should russia invade on i think on this trip that is so far the most difficult of all the trips or interiors that he had since he has been elect. it's not very long ago. choice is in a position that he could observe what happened to other leaders who came to visit to moscow. and he decided to 1st go to kia f 2 and negotiate if there's anything that ukraine could to, to fulfill its obligations of the minsk agreement. and of course, he can stay as the committee is made o partner that he is and not being vacant with anything. so he will clearly show that he is a co miss, a committed western ally. and he can, of course, negotiate monitoring to in the future. or yesterday in care of child said that germany stands with ukraine as a longstanding friend and ally. but given that,

that russia is joanie's biggest european trading partner does. it's relationship with ukraine, trump, that of relations with moscow, where russia is not the biggest trading garden of germany. it is the biggest provider of gas, and gas is only one element in a diversified energy mix. so we are not as dependent on russia as it sometimes appears. an even the czech republic has a larger traits, a relationship with germany and russia in total of the czech republic to put it just in context. so there is a lot of room for maneuver, but i don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that we still have a bargaining chip, which is not stream to that hasn't been just dropped at times when kootenai has not even announced. what's the end result of this negotiations with b?

as you said, chelsea newly elected he's to search for some extent been dropped in the, in the deep end here. what will his domestic audience expect of him today? well, that is actually interesting to see what public opinion things. i was very surprised when i saw that there is a vast majority of germans who think that not stream to is a good thing and we should keep the pipeline open. so it's not just a small group of those who understand russia, we're a half vested interests in good relations with russia. in particular, the governors of the form, a g, d r, who push shows to be supportive and open for negotiations. but there is also a support from public opinion who think that not only diplomacy is key because that's what everybody thinks. but that we should try to find good ways off keeping relations with russia and not turning into something confrontational. really good

talk to so many thanks. did orrick brooklyn that in berlin went away from the international diplomacy ukrainians, living near the russian border growing increasingly concerned about the stand off between the 2 countries. charles stratford has met some of them reports now from but us givea and eastern ukraine. a couple of 100 meters down. that hill is russia. now, this area has remained quiet over the last 8 years of this conflict. there's been no shilling. there's been no fighting. there's been no destruction of people's homes and businesses, but that does not mean that the lives of people in this village has not been deeply affected by the conflict. they used to be able to go and visit friends and family in russia freely. they used to be able to go to the cemetery, which is in russia. they used to be able to trade and go shopping was 3 years ago. the whole changed in 2019 roles of barbed wire were laid along the border. took

almost 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union and a war before a boundary between the 2 states appeared. elaina mummy tova runs the village shop. he describes life before the war as a golden time. well, that's what your longer should. we have relatives leave him there. you are right behind the streams. there is a village and their children used to come to school here. visited each other as friends were married each other spent our holidays together. and now everything is close to us outside the half empty school is the statue of a historian who wrote about the importance of unity among cossacks who populated this region for centuries. the village is quiet like antonia miss server sits in the sun with her friends with them. my parents are buried in the cemetery and i can

visit their graves anymore. or friends on the other side can't come here to visit us. we miss them. everyone is full of regret and we know they think the same were far away from politics, but now our freedoms enjoys, are gone. there are many villages like this one along the crane russian border where there is no sense of hate or the endless blaming the other for the killing in these conflicts. for the longer this crisis goes on. the more concerns grow amongst people here that the community they have lived in for generations may never be the same. charles stafford al jazeera but a safeco, eastern ukraine. campaigning is underway for south korea, the presidential election under the constitution. the widow will serve a single 5 year term, but as rob mcbride reports not from so it's a position that has often been my ad by scandal. this like most elections before, it is likely to be a straight to horse race between

a conservative unit. so y'all and his liberal opponent, the jame young, with both of them fighting against their own unpopularity. a fact they seem to accept, oh, oh, they're young nike, the gun, don't you go to party politics with a vested interest, offer limited choices. as a result, people are left to bite the bullet in truth, the less only to evil. neither has international standing, but they are vying for a job that now has global reach. there's south korea's importance in the world economy, especially and high tech manufacturing. it's cultural clout is growing through movies, drama, and k pop. and it's key geopolitical role in sino u. s. relations as well as it's fraught dealings with north korea, the outgoing liberal president, min j in has made it his mission to improve into korea and ties. but his term is ending with the north increasing it's miss al, testing with the threat of launching longer range,

ballistic missiles that have brought the peninsula to the brink of conflict in the past. no, i mean there's a high possibility there. various missile tests are, will be conducted intensively after the presidential election on march 9th. and if he wins yoon soak yal has promised a tougher line with the north, including the possibility of preemptive strikes against its newly developed hypersonic missiles it, oh yeah, my like her capture power. if it's carrying a nuclear weapon, the time it will take to reach to capital area and come in a massacre is under a minute. it's practically impossible to intercept whether or not this election will result in worsening into korean relations. what's almost guaranteed is its fair share of controversy. both candidates come into this race marred by domestic scandal. and that's before the campaign. mudslinging really gets underway. this is a country where the job of president has often ended in the disgrace of coups

resignations, or imprisonment. as this campaign starts, park yon hay returns to life as an ordinary citizen, following her, pardon, and release from a 22 year sentence. one of 4 former presidents to have spent time behind bars. rob mcbride al jazeera, so it's been 2 months now since typhoon ride devastated large areas and the central philippines, nearly 10000000 people were affected by the storm with at least 2400000 still in need of help. i'll to cirrus joel alan doggone reports now from bo hall province, one of the worst hit areas. jessie garcia thought it was an ordinary typhoon. they said they were by the sea side with their children until the water rose. like a wall. you'll thin me, philip, when i all of a sudden our roofs were blown ally and we had to swim away from the current with
