ah, with criminal gangs ascending vietnamese children, walk into slavery in europe. one to one east investigates how the traffic is on the bathing justice. now to sierra ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm lauren taylor. this is the, i'll just hear news. i live from london coming up of russia. attraction crime would be a war choice or a war without call. your reason president joe biden warns russia the u. s. and its allies are ready to respond decisively to any attack on ukraine. russia announced that some of its troops, or withdrawing from drills may ukraine,

but nato says it hasn't seen signs of de escalation. britons, prince. andrew reaches an out of court settlement with virginia you fray. who says he sexually abused her when she was 17. and less than 3 weeks ago, he was the president of honduras. thou one, orlando, hernandez has surrendered to police over drug trafficking charges and in sports, and emotional returns and the beijing eyes for russian and figure skater, camilla valley a back. it's the 1st event for the 13 year old since a court cleared her to compete that despite failing a doping test and a pre, a little bit of that, ah, yes, president joe biden is warning america will rally the world to oppose any russian aggression against ukraine. saying the human cost a war would be immense. barden says the u. s. has not verified. russia's claims

that some of its troops are withdrawing from the ukrainian border. and he's appealed for diplomacy to be given a chance to avoid a war. he says will trigger powerful sanctions from the west and its allies of russia attacks ukraine. it would be a war joyce, or a war without cause or reason. i say these things not to provoke, but to speak the truth. because the truth matters. accountability matters. if russia does invade the days a weeks ahead, the human cost for ukraine will be immense. and the strategic cross for russia will also be immense. if russia attacks ukraine will be met with overwhelming international condemnation, the world will not forget russia chose needless death and destruction. let's get more from my camera in washington dc. so got a stern warning there from president barton,

but also recognition that there is still a diplomatic path very much. so in fact, an affirmation that the president believes that is a diplomatic compar. this follows russia's announcement early in the day that it was withdrawing some of its troops that had completed what russia said. were there training exercises. we heard that from president biden, that independent analysts. the intelligence analysts had not yet confirmed that particular point. in fact, president biden implies that the build up still remains some 150000 troops remain along the ukrainian and in border according to the us president. but still, at the same time, you went out of his way to say that diplomacy is the preferred alternative that he believes that russia could still be prepared to engage in diplomatic maneuvering. and this is something that he hopes in still the case. he also sang to congress for their support in this entire crisis. in the course of the day, there's been discussions in congress between republican and democrat, senators,

to pause joint legislation on sanctions against russia. should it invade ukraine now president biden also was very categorical. there that among the sanctions that would be applied should russia invade ukraine, would be a closure of the, nor to pipeline from russia to germany. now this is as clear as he's been on this particular subject. he had originally been reluctant to impose such a major measure given the pipelines, importance to germany as well as russia. but here he's made very clear that that pipeline would be closed as part of the massive sanctions package. should russia go ahead and invade ukraine? so very strong words from president biden, and upping the ante as it were in terms of possible punitive action. should russia go ahead and invade? he was also trying to spell out for perhaps beyond 2 to 2 russians that he, as he put at us the u. s is not a threat to,

to russia. and he said that to the us and nato don't have missiles and ukraine all plans to put in their exactly. he also reiterated that the u. s. has no intention whatsoever of sending any troops to ukraine. he did point out to confirm, as we know that there are us troops have been added to the nato forces on the eastern flank that some 50026000 us soldiers had the move there in recent days. but making very clear his position that nato and the u. s. do not see russia as an enemy, and in particular, they do not see russian people as enemies. that's apparently attempt to counter what president biden and his advisors see as propaganda by russia, that they are essentially being ganged up on by nato. and it's us and i, president biden apparently going out of his way to reassure order. we russians that there is no such intention on the part of the us or indeed on the part of nato.

this is a way in which to try and grease the wheels of diplomacy to try and create popular support perhaps within russia for a diplomatic process. this is something that the u. s. continues to insist it once it's absolutely necessary. and president biden saying, perhaps, indications to that the russian president vladimir putin appeals the same way. putin, himself, having said this earlier in the day, so a faint flickering hope of a renewal of the diplomatic process. not that it's ever died, it's been in place, but the had been increasing is about the level of rhetoric being exposed by both sides. however, this an attempt perhaps, to begin to damp down that rhetoric to begin to attempt to grease the wheels as i said, of diplomacy. my kind of thank you very much. indeed. while a sight of some russian troops appearing to pull away from the border with ukraine has been met with some skepticism diplomatic efforts to avoid war continue. ukraine

and western leaders say they haven't seen enough evidence that russian troops withdrawing circles where russia is thought to have deployed more than 150000 troops surrounding ukraine on 3 sides. russian soldiers also deployed in the annex region of crimea, and back thousands of fighters in to rebel held eastern provinces, hours before russia's withdrawal announcement, a u. s. defense official said ground units were moving closer to the cranium border . a satellite company said there was increased military activity in bella, roost, crimea, and western russia, including the arrival of helicopters and fighter jet. you case has russia, is building field hospitals near ukraine in bella. ruth, which could mean an invasion has been planned. it also says battalion tactical groups are being taken closer to the border. those jibari reports from moscow. russia's defense ministry says, these are some of its troops,

which had been positioned on the border with ukraine. they're returning to base after finishing training exercises. my name again sharon maria, to work as the training comes to an end. the troops as usual, marched back to their home stations, units from the southern and western military districts that completed the tasks already have started loading on trains and moto vehicles. they will start moving through their home bases, individual units will march on their own in military column. we're still good over . while this raises hopes that tensions could ease between russia and ukraine, there are still large scale military exercises taking place. and it's not clear how many units are being pulled back. use of the troops draw down came just as the german chancellor. all off schultz arrived in russia for talks with president vladimir putin. who said war was the last thing he wanted michelin? yes. even though by it do we want war or not? of course we don't. and it's for that reason that we have submitted a proposal that as to a negotiation process. as a result of which there should be

a guarantee for security, for everybody including our country, cesar olaf shalt set some aspects up. russia's demands on ukraine were worth considering. the squad stressing the need for diplomacy to succeed. the diplomatic looped curtains and provide to me today i fully agree that diplomatic efforts have yet to be exhausted and that we have to find a peaceful resolution to this crisis. several troops of a pullback, which is a good sign. and we hope that this will continue in the belgian capital nato secretary general yan sultan burg, expressed cautious optimism at the news of the russian draw down nay. there are signs from moscow. the 3rd diplomacy should continue. this gives grounds for cautious optimism. but so far, we have not seen any sign of the escalation on the ground. despite these intense diplomatic efforts,

there are still many outstanding issues at the heart of the crisis. let me put and says he is ready to talk to you as leaders about ukraine's request to join the 30 member nato alliance. and he says that is a conversation which cannot be put off any longer. something both nato and us leaders have refused to discuss. so far and until that issue is resolved, it is now clear that this crisis could continue for months to come door such a bari al jazeera, moscow rushes parliament, his calling on president putin to recognize, to break away regions in eastern ukraine as independent states earlier. but in describe the situation in those regions as genocide, fission that you even of nauseous throne you. these completely areas that the overwhelming majority of people in our country sympathized with don't boss resident, but you're caught them and hope for the situation they had to dress me, improve for them to dorothy them could of them cook me as cousin allow me to add that in our assessment, what's happening now in that dumbass constitutes genocide?

yeah, you distort. charles stratford is in cal cave near the russian border in easton ukraine with nol tossing lawmakers to day voting on a resolution to potentially recognize those break away states. now we've subsequently heard of those self declared break away states. we should say interestingly, during about him a putin speech, he said that sir, he hoped that the french and the german leaders could put pressure on the ukrainian governments to, to resolve the crisis in the dorm bass peacefully. we've also heard from the foreign minister to reach o collabo here, who say the say, any recognition although self declared breakaway republics would be a violation of international law and would destroy the minced agreement. but there are concerns that if this kind of language that is coming out of russia to recognize these self declare states that that could well instigate or push some

sort of according to analysts military action from the ukrainians, which these analysts say would. i would push a counter reaction by, for example, the russian back separatists with the help of russia because of what is believed to be hundreds of thousands of ukrainians that have now got russian passports inside those areas. ukrainian government says the websites of its defense, foreign and culture ministries, as well as the 2 largest state banks have been taken offline by a cyber attack. inside ukraine, anxiety is building his residence. consider what to do if russia, which is a ground invasion dash partner thought suki. f silva says his son, yvonne brings him joy in what he says is a world of hysteria. he doesn't want to leave his home and keith, besides it considered doing so to protect his family. if russia were to invade

ukraine, every day i'm thinking about what to do with my family or to go to leave. for example, to was the part of your green or go to village where my parents of my wife leave. they have small house, but at the service, for example, they have 4 electric generator. they have 4 solar panels. so at least the electricity, for example, which will be working. most people in the city attire, to thinking about what russia might do next. for 8 years they've lived with conflict to me, east of the country between ukrainian forces and russian back separatists. but the recent crisis is fueling a renewed sense of anxiety. things seem very normal in the city. people are still going to work or to school themselves. restaurants are busy, but as the situation continues, some people that we may tell us that they are worried and making contingency plans . if there is an invasion, we go to western ukraine, but if there is any to fight, my entire family will begin to move forward. russians are just showing off,

making noise, play acting. russians on totally influencing ukrainian opinion, but every one else, but russia will destroy itself if it invades diplomatic efforts to avert a new war. have seemed at times to go round in circles with little sign of a breakthrough. moscow now says it's pulling some troops from the border. b, ukraine's government is skeptical, and all the rest is go for that. i say post, you know, we continuously hear different statements from the russian federation. so we have a rule, we believe not what we hear, but we believe what we see. if we see the blout, we will believe in the day escalation 40 years ago, this huge arch was built on a hill in the city to celebrate russia and ukraine friendship. since then, someone has painted a large crack in the monument. no one here wants a new conflict, but history has taught them to be prepared. natasha butler al jazeera keith

will be taylor's a for may yet ambassador to ukraine. he joined his set from washington, d. c, via skype. thank you very much indeed for being with us. so i imagine you would have been listening to president biden just now and, and he was saying that an invasion remains distinctly possible and that the u. s. hasn't verified russian units returning home. what did you make of the tone of his speech? or i thought it was a direct and it was frank. he addressed several different groups of people. it's certainly addressed united states, sir american citizens, but he also addressed people in russia. i'm a also addressed leadership in ukraine express solidarity for, for, for, for a strong position that president biden and prisons. zalinski are taking visa, the president putin. so there was a, it was a strong direct message it left open. the possibility effect is it's his hope. he

says that there will be negotiations. he recognizes bite and recognizes the present. goodman has 2 options. he can either negotiate or he can invade, and everything we've been doing is trying to push him toward negotiation and trying to indicate that if he invades the cost to russia, will be very, very high. and we've mentioned that that, that, that talk of the de escalation that some of the summer unit to be returning home according to the you, russian minister of defense. but this had not been ret verified. what do you make of that? is it, is there a hope of a d escalation? what's your kind of gut feeling on it? there is hope there is hope barn. i would say that the that will be the, that will be the indicator when we actually see units and tanks and artillery and missiles that are moving away from ukraine's border rather than toward it as they have been for the past 2 months. so when we see these military forces going back to

their barracks, back to their home stations, that will be a very good indicator that there can be serious negotiations. and going back to these 2 options that president bush as he is an option of, of negotiating. and the d escalation will be an indication that that's a serious option for him. he's chosen that option or he can invade mom. and if he invade, then we will see these forces moving again closer and closer to the cranium border and present my nose. i said that there are real ways to dress a russian security concerns. do you think that in the end, behind closed doors, people who actually said, look, tend to put in note, don't worry about the nato membership is never going to happen. and in a public key overseen, if you would say that, but you think that that behind closed doors that actually has been put on the table . i don't think so far out. think so at all. i think everyone who's talked to president putin that we know of a,

upholds the principal that nations are our sovereign, that ukraine is sovereign and whole upholds the principle of anybody who's seen president burton recently as it are. our members of nato. nato has a strong policy since the beginning of an open door to democracies who want to join nato, so that that's a principle that no one is going back on. now it is also true, however, that it takes time for nations to be ready to join nato and ukraine knows that it's got some work to be to do before it can be accepted. that there are processes for joining nato that ukraine would like to start. and i think that still very much opted by one of the think barn in that is we're talking about sovereignty and in nations having the ability to make their own decisions applies to ukraine. yes. but also applies to sweden and finland and sweden,

them. and the past couple weeks have said, you know, the russians are pretty, pretty threatening. the russians seem to be much more aggressive. so sweet and then and said, you know, we might like to join nato as well. so it's that principle, the open door principle that applies to ukraine applies to other nations as well. we maintain a thank you very much and he patting the time tourist lead to coming up on the he's are from london criminal critic, alex st. val and he goes on trial again in a case that could extend his jail ton, i moved a decade, plus these families would, they would pay everything, give it all back, is for one minute families of victims. if one of america's worst school shootings reach a multi $1000000.00 settlement with a gun maker and in support, one of the american people's mission, inferential figures is amendment attributed to the multi comes into strong novel. ah,

ah, you case prince andrew has reached an out of court financial settlement with virginia you fray. she had filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexually abusing her 20 years ago. when she was 17 years old. the prince, who is queen elizabeth son, denied the allegations to fray said she was being trafficked by the billionaire peter fall. jeffrey epstein, who died in jail while awaiting trial in 2019 a letter file to the judge said the settlement would include a substantial donation to due phrase charity in support of victims rights. the statement also said prince andrew regrets his association with epstein and commends the bravery of mister frey and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others. he pledges to demonstrate his regret for the association with epstein by supporting the fight against the evils effects trafficking, and by supporting its victims from assistant to united states

attorney richard senior and he joins me now from new york. what do you think happened here? why do you think there was a settlement when pretend originally said he wanted his day in court? i don't think prince andrew had a choice. he was scheduled to give sworn testimony later this year. and once you lost the motion to dismiss, it was inevitable. if he was acting rationally and he is that he would have to subtle the case because this choice is going forward and we're not good for him. he could either take the 5th amendment at the upcoming deposition and he would lose the civil case. or he could testify and possibly incriminate himself or raise an allegation of perjury. this by far was the best thing for his own self interest. that being said, and the reason is because there is still an open criminal investigation in the

southern district of new york. and miss maxwell is facing a potential life sentence and has a real incentive to cooperate with the government and identify any of her, any of the men who are involved in the crimes. so prince andrew and his lawyers were cognizant of, of this problem. and that's why we have a settlement announced today and enter and what they said they did want to produce the is that to is command an image he told took us through the kind of the, the upside former settlement. each each side is going to get something very important. the victim, in this case, will receive it. i believe a very substantial sum of money plus a donation to her charity. what prince andrew gets, is finality of the civil case. and i would,

i would bet that the following terms are also included in this confidential settlement agreement. number one, no disparity disparagement. each party cannot disparage the other number to complete and a confidentiality. no one can talk about the details of the settlement other than their agreed upon. press release. a number number 3. know admission of wrongdoing or liability. and number 4, i bet there is a provision in there that the plaintiff has to inform prince andrew's lawyers if she's contacted by law enforcement. i don't know whether that's an enforceable clause. i think it's problematic, but i have seen it and other types of the settlement agreements, and it would not surprise me if it's in this settlement agreement. because i think what prince andrew fears more than anything else is criminal exposure involving

this matter. and sorry i did miss miss speaker. i meant confidentiality when i had to admit the oversee, who does not know my school, nor his even call or his settle now and people to push it out that many cases do get settled in the, in the states. what, what are the statistics and so does that kind of take away from the that the drama of it being a settlement like this? i mean, is it, is it just kind of routine to have settlement in the us overwhelming number of civil cases, especially in federal court settlement, some subtle sooner than others. this is settling at a very early stage and the case before the commencement of discovery. for the reasons i've just outlined prince andrew cannot go under oath. to discuss any of these issues, even if he would like to. if he is in an untenable position. so this case has settled early, it did not help prince andrew's cause that the judge that this case was assigned to

schedule the very quick time table, almost what we would call a rocket docket. and discovery would have started and been completed this year. so prince andrew was looking at his day of reckoning the day he would have to give sworn testimony and wisely, with his lawyers decided to resolve the case on a confidential basis. the fact that most cases settle on does not change the calculus. that was involved here. prince andrew had the subtle this case. he had no choice. tell me or any clues. i know that would be good guessing game any clues from the wording and from your experience of these thing on, on the kind of ballpark figure of this settlement. the only thing i can tell you is it's going to be substantially higher that whatever settlement figure was discussed by the parties in the summer of last year, before the case was filed, the price,

the prince. andrew has paid for not settling early, as he has to pay a lot more money to the plaintiff in order to resolve this case, she had all the bargaining power. at this point, all the leverage in the world, she was being ably represented. they knew what they had and i'm positive, indigo. she hated a very good results for her and for her foundation richardson, you really thank you very much indeed. her talking to thank you. thank you. now the families of 9 victims of the sandy hook, school shooting in 2012 have reached a $73000000.00 settlement. with the u. s. gun maker remington 20 children and 6 teachers were shot dead at the elementary school. in newtown, connecticut, by a 20 year old gunman, remington was sued over how it marketed the a r 15 style rifle. the gunman used with a lawsuit alleging the company targeted younger at risk males a charge. it denied the case has been watched closely by gun control, advocates,

gun, right, supporters and manufacturers. this case was never about damages in the sense of compensation that it was about damages in the sense of forcing change. it was about damages in the sense of um, realizing the goals of these families to do what memory to do, whatever they can to help prevent the next sandy hook. when you experience something like somebody being told they're getting a certain amount of money. a lot of money and having it hurt, having it hurt this family so they would pay everything and you would all back this for one minute. that would be true justice. that's more still to come this hour, including italy, steps up, the pressure on the unvaccinated being in a no job, no job policy. the or the 50s fanfare and dirty tactics. as campaigning officially

kicks off the south korea's presidential election and support germany accomplish feet unprecedented in any and in the event details. ah hey, they're great to see you 1st things 1st. let's get you the latest on storm dudley as it plagues the islands of ireland and britain. we're going to get into some pretty good rounds of rain across northern ireland, northern england, scotland. some snow over that scottish hills is wall and we do have an amber when warning in play. so it's very likely we're going to see some damage as a result of this storm. we see that what whether move further toward the east, also some snow for the alpine region and a batch of rain is sliding from montenegro into albania and further toward the south. so we'll pick up the story there because this means rain for western areas

ah, from on the top stories are you as president, has warned russia he will rally the world in response to any attack on ukraine. joe biden also appealed for diplomacy to be given a chance. russia's defense ministry says some troops of finished exercises near ukraine's border and returning to their faces. the head of nato says there are no signs of de escalation on the ground and the case prince. andrew has reached an out of court financial settlement with his sex abuse, accuser, virginia, you fray. the prince denies the allegations. earlier my colleagues, i, mr. dunn spoke to the mayor of keir former boxing champion b tellico. he explained how you cranes capital plans to defend itself. if war does break out. we've done half exactly information. we have 1st so much so much

information right now is the different her sources. we have different new formations. you know, we're from our easter partners. we see the no russians move towards back to our board or russian installed, so they move away. okay, now us intelligence reports have been quoted by the media saying, the u. s. believes u. s. officials believe that if russia does invade kiev, your city, that you're the mayor of them responsible for will fall within 48 hours. are they right? ah, feels the fall. we prepare them for the defense l, a. c t, and to defend our country. and the 1st of all is our new great, and mildred forces so ready to fight. and also i'm responsible for trivial defense

and to we have to defend our cities. we have to defend our families. we have to defend our future because our future is european part of european family as democratic, modern ukraine country. and it's just russians not happy with that because it's no secret mister put in one, where am i to rebuild? saw it in prior to washington wire and the grand have to be very important part of this. and i'm not, i appreciate, i don't want you to speculate, but i want to get a feel for what you are planning for in the case of an invasion. do you think you can continue to hold on to the city, or are you planning to operate? i know you've signed up yourself personally for ukrainian minute for units. are you planning to operate simply as some kind of guerrilla force and, you know,

give up the, the hope of holding on to, to the control of the city. we had no where they're planning here for any scenario that we do a mo, how will be developed whole situation. but we also prepare for worst case it, but the 1st of all is the ukrainian, the army is pretty strong. eva eve, something good going wrong in the russians coming here. ok, so you will defense, ready to fight it? air it? civilian have to defend our c. t. clear answer. russian president vladimir putin's biggest political opponent is back on trial and could have his jail time extended by more than a decade. alex navarro. and he is accused of stealing more than $4700000.00 of donation is to his political organizations. and what human rights groups have branded a sham trial. closed door hearings being held inside

a maximum security prison, 100 kilometers outside moscow. his wife julia was at tuesday's hearing after demanding access to the proceedings from the valley is already serving a 2 and a half year jail term for a previous fraud case. he originally got a suspended sentence, but prosecutors accused him of violating its terms. when he was treated in germany for a poison attack, he blames on putin and he was arrested as soon as he returned to russia in january 2021. he also faces up to 6 months in prison for contempt of court. during one of his hearings last year. of all these political organizations across russia had been declared extremist and band forcing many of his allies to flee the country. gregory, for office vice president of the free russia foundation. he says it was always expected that further years would be added to nevada. the sentence couple of which is one of them is of course kerman is doing that because simile tenuously,

with possible operation and ukraine. so all the media is currently focusing on the possible war and ukraine. so chrome is also working on the line. the. the 2nd thing is that the current and the line in the sent them just a few years in prison. when i'm saying just the meaning is that for a position or number one in the country when terminus, which is such parents in jail, it's expect about that as a storm could be quite longer than 3 years. and his cur firm is finished next years . so it was a, you know, it's time for the crammed in to start adding new something, the sentence that trans case of fraud itself, it's looking you. it was put together in 2020. so, couple of years ago. and now they just, you know, and that's can, it's on, on to as years when they send them police have taken honduras,

his former president, orlando, and unders from his home after a judge ordered his arrest. us prosecutors want to extradite hernandez, accusing him of engaging and corruption, and drug trafficking to fund political campaigns. allegations he was denied and under his left officer in the last month after 8 years as president, last year u. s. judge sentenced his brother to life in prison for drug trafficking and, and others was named as a co conspirator. in another case, my numerical was in 100 years a few weeks here in georgia. so i know from mexico city, my name will, can you tell us about it arrest things have certainly moved along very quickly since the announcement of that extradition request by the united states against former president of hunter as one, orlando at amanda is the images of president edmond as being escorted away in chains from his home by security forces in the 100 capital are almost surreal. there are certainly captivating. police have been surrounding and this is home

since the late hours of monday evening into tuesday into tuesday morning. following that expedition ordered by the united states on charges of drug drug trafficking and weapons charges. now u. s. prosecutors claim that the former president of honduras, wonderland amended, helped to facilitate the trafficking of more than $500000.00 kilos of cocaine from central and from south america through hunters and ultimately into the united states. calling this a case of quote, state sponsored drug trafficking. now the 100 security ministry says that 100 authorities will make sure that the, that the former president does appear before a judge in less than 24 hours. but in the past, when we've looked at similar extradition cases, these are cases that tend to take somewhere about between weeks, sometimes even months. but because of the high profile nature of this case, in particular, we do expect that things will move along

a bit faster. now i would be remiss not to mention that $100.00 lender, and this is not a very well liked individual in honduras. so this news has been met with celebrations on the streets in honduras as well as on social media. many people in honduras from across the political spectrum, seeing this news as a positive step toward justice and accountability in a country that's been plagued for years by drug violence and president. and under enjoyed a close relationship with united states didn't during his presidency. when did that relationship power the allegations of drug trafficking by president members and members of his family date back as far back as the beginning of his presidency. 8 years ago, you mentioned already his own brother serving a life sentence in the u. s. federal prison due to links to drug trafficking. and yes, president members did enjoy a close relationship with the obama white house and with the trump administration. but many of the security analysts that we've spoken to the political experts in

honduras say that because the united states has this sort of unofficial tradition of not pursuing legal action against sitting presidents, especially those that are considered allies of the united states. us authorities were simply waiting for the moment that president at an end is term in office was over for the united states to pursue extradition, which is what we're seeing play out now. i know rafa, thank you very much indeed. if he appears parliament has voted for an early end to 6 months, state of emergency, it was declared in november when rebels from the northern to grey region, the 2nd to march on the capital at his habit. they've since retreated and security has improved. state of emergency was supposed to last until may. united nations is welcome to move. it is also calling for the release of people detained during the conflict. this is a decision that we very much welcome and for the secretary general, i think he's his words of encouragement would be for the authorities in ethiopia to
