as punches intensify along the russian crane border u. s. presidential bypass threatened president, who took this severe economic sanctions saying a conflict occurs. it could be the largest invasions for 2 kinds of nobody talks, a few possibilities. what we live for moscow to bring you the latest development on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah. hello, melinda. this is the news ally from dough coming up in the next 60 minutes. our analysts indicate that the remain very much in a threatening position. boy, u. s. skepticism about russia's troop draw down from ukraine's borders the president bod and says he's determined to push on with diplomacy. a former soldier who deserted a fed regiment of mammals. all mi describes the brookdale tactics. he seen 2

russia next, the region in 2014, when russian president vladimir putin says he wants dialogue with the west of the 2 sides, still disagree on the issue of new countries joining nato. the blocks defense ministers are meeting in brussels in this hour. the u. s. nato ally say they haven't seen any evidence that russia has pulled back its troops or shortly we'll speak to dawson baris lifers and moscow. festus turned to the barkers and brussels for us nave. so we just heard from you in salzburg in the last hour. sorry, before we headed into that defense ministers meeting, did we get to stay on nato's latest position on the ukraine rush across this well, that the steer is that nature's position has not changed. the alliance firmly believes that russia is poised to potentially invade the country and asked that such the alliance is standing firm. oh, it's been incredibly busy. few weeks of shuttle diplomacy,

senior officials criss crossing europe, some of them traveling to visit vladimir putin and others traveling to visit several of them is zalinski and ukraine. and now this is a chance for defense ministers form nato alliance. countries to essentially reconnect with the mother mother ship and, and consolidate that stance when it comes to russia. but responding to the suggestion that russia was in some way, d escalating tensions by pulling some of its forces back from the border with ukraine. this is what the secretary general here at nato had to say. we have heard the signs from moscow about her readiness to continue diplomatic efforts. but so far we have not seen any de escalation on the grounds. on the contrary, it appears that russia continues, the military buildup. we are ready to sit down on her and discuss with them,

but at the same time, we are prepared for the worst. andrea, if her russia, once again invades ukraine and they will pay a high price made yesterday, german, tulsa, all. i shall said that a ukraine's nato membership would probably not happen during his time enough as does this reflect the alliance, his position yeah, that's a really interesting development, really, because obviously, over the past few weeks, ukraine's possible membership of nato has been really pivotal to this dispute adding to that vladimir putin for a different reason. the said that he didn't believe that ukraine would be part of nato during his presidency as well. and the ukrainians themselves have been sending mixed signals earlier in the week. for instance, ukraine's ambassador to the u. k. said it was no longer a priority them, but within 24 hours i completely changed the position and reiterated that it was

part of the ukrainian constitution to be part of the alliance going forward. and that indeed it was a major priority of for the country. there is a sense that they, when it comes to diplomatic efforts, they are trying now to dampen down, talk of joining the alliance. it doesn't seem perhaps, to be particularly helpful when at the moment we've got vast numbers of russian troops around in the country. and nato is extended an invitation to russia to come and have negotiations and talks with members of the alliance as well. they're waiting for a response from the kremlin over that. so at the moment to keep hammering home the message that you crave will be part of the alliance. any time soon, perhaps isn't the most helpful thing to be prioritizing at the moment. i can't many thanks for that need bunker there for us in brussels. let's go live now to dawson, temporaries live in moscow for us. so and comments from yen stultz and bag this morning, insisting again that them see no evidence of troop withdrawal. what exactly have we had from russia about this?

well, according to the country's defense ministry, there is a number of units from russia's western and southern military that have been taking part in military drills alongside the border with ukraine as well as in crimea. and those units that are finished, those drills are now on the way home. and on wednesday results further footage released by the defense ministry that showed a number of military equipments being put on trains and heading back from crimea to russia. this is, according to the russian defense ministry that says that this is standard process for them. this is the procedure and that it is nothing unusual. this is of course, what has been causing all this concern by the united states and western countries. the russians have said that their own movements troop movements within their own boundaries. it is something that is not a for discussion with anyone, and it should not be a cause for alarm. we heard from russian president vladimir putin during his press

conference with the german chancellor saying that russia does not want war. it is not interested in invading ukraine. and any other dialogue on this topic is just propaganda. and it's not actually true whether or not these troops moving around and repositioning to home base. it remains it whether that be taken at face value or means to be seen. and i think it's important to point out that we actually don't have any specific numbers. no specific information from the defense ministry as to where exactly these troops are heading back to and how many of them are moving around. so this is something that is still very much a question. and also, has there been any reaction in moscow to president biden's comments yesterday? yes, we've just been hearing from the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pess. gov, who seemed very optimistic. he said that it's a positive sign for the u. s. president, to say that he's willing to talk to russia. and he said that vladimir putin has also expressed his desire to really start intense negotiations. and direct talks

with the united states about the concerns that russia has. now whether or not they'll be able to hammer out a specific time and date, an agenda for these negotiations will remain to be seen. but i think all sites here pointing to the fact that it's very positive news coming from the white house, and that the russia is ready to talk to the u. s. i think vladimir putin was insisting that he wants to talk about nato's expansion issue now. and that it's not something that can be put off any longer. i think the feeling here is that the time has come to really address the main concern. this country has enough. that is, of course, nato's further expansion. whether or not the americans will be on side with that on board without because they've said until now that nato's membership is not something russia can dictate. but whether or not they can come to some kind of an agreement about how to move forward. past this point or me to be seen, but i think it's important now that the russians are very eager to speak to the americans directly. okay,

many thanks for that dosage jibari that for us in moscow. so as ukrainian and weston leaders question russia's true pullback. here's how things look on the map estimate suggested deployment as high as a 130000 russian soldiers, including in the annex region of crimea. as before, moscow's withdrawal announcement, a u. s. defense official said ground units. we're moving closer to the ukranian border. and the united kingdom says russia is building field hospitals in belarus, ne ukraine's buddha, russia's parliament is calling on president putin to recognize to break away regions in easton, ukraine as independent states. president pigeon says what's happening in those regions is genocide, but hasn't provided any evidence of that. charles traffic has more than concave near jonetta and ask russian lawmakers to day a voting on a resolution to potentially recognize those break away states. now we've

subsequently heard other self declared breakaway states, we should say interestingly, during about m. putin's speech, he said that sir, he hoped that the french and the german leaders could put pressure on the ukrainian government to work to resolve the crisis in the dorm bass peacefully. we've also heard from the foreign minister to be choker labor here, who said that to any recognition, although self declared break away, 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 the self declare states that sir, 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. a former soldier hayes does that and may, on mars army has told al jazeera of the brutal tactics he says, of being committed by a feared regiment since last year's care. the army has faced allegations of abuse and creating torture and massacres. all of which it denies what any tang spoke to the ex soldier his in hiding near the tight me on my border. rebel fighters approached a convoy of burning vehicles on christmas eve. it was the scene of a massacre. they say, well than 30 men, women and children executed. their bodies burned up to you. they say it was mere mars army. specifically, the much feared 66 light infantry mia mars military leadership have denied

involvement that they met. but those tactics a well known to captain minto, whose name we've changed for security reasons. he served in the 66 light infantry until november when he deserted. now he's in hiding. he says he and his soldiers were taught to believe that any one who stood up to them was the enemy. and with angrily, diana, the army seized the ethnic groups like terrorists. now they tell the soldiers that all the ethnic groups are terrace. that's why they fight against them. they want to control everything. despite decades of oppressive rule, members of mere mass army or tappman doors, they're often called inside the country were held in high regard. their role as guardians of a divided nation often superseded reports of atrocities against ethnic minorities, including the ringer. last year's military coup changed over the stature and the reputation of the tap that i have taken a massive hit. ah, the people of myanmar,

white weight, frankly, heath, and our view them as terrorist at one stage it was thought that the trickle of defect is coming from over there. in myanmar might turn into a flood that didn't happen, the army closed ranks. and since then, it's been very hard to know what's going on in military minds. hi, on a misty hill side along the time you're my border. we got a rare insight into the concerns of enlisted soldiers. as we filmed at border outpost, several soldiers in plain clothes approached us friendly. they chatted openly in english and ty, with a worried about the fierce fighting going on between mamma's army and its people is talking like of our dog. and i say she is. we worried about that, but in this region, like in the site, we don't have any globe and about another adding the girls. yeah. but are you worried about the fighting inside miramar as well?

yeah, i little bit. oh captain me at tow. can be more open about his concerns. since february there's no happiness, he sings, my homeland is destroyed. now he's committed to fighting against the army a fight song. lyric says we will win. tony chang al jazeera on the time. you're my buddha. as casey somalia. now where at least 9 people are reported to have been killed in the capitol, mogadishu, including 2 suicide bombers and a police officer. the internal security minister says al, so bob fighters attacks police stations in the early hours of wednesday morning. as go straight to my wife, who is life for us in nairobi in neighboring can yet malcolm tell us what happened the group out bob is said is came responsibility for attacking several government target throughout the capital market issue. we've heard that police stations

tensions which run into violence on several occasions in the group ship. bob said it's again the whole election process and is disrupted or attempted to disrupt it violently on several occasions. many thanks for that mouth and web that for us in, nor robi plenty more ahead. all the news out, including a decade after they were killed, a u. s. gun makers ordered to pay millions to families of victims of the sandy hook school massacre and school children in zimbabwe, left unsupervised with nothing to do on the government. suspense, striking teachers in a pe dispute at, in sports in havoc here all celebrating a famous win in the men's hockey event after the week ending. ah, the un special envoy for yemen says there still

a way out of the country's war. he made the comments during a un security council meeting on diplomatic eta said james bass asthma. in nearly 7 years of war in yemen rarely have sings been this bad. the violence is raging, the humanitarian situation is dar. and the diplomacy is deadlocked. the un special envoy, hans greenberg was briefing the security council. the hu fees aren't letting him visit center and for the coalition, one of its members, the u. e is currently serving on the security council. its ambassador was scathing . what we have heard to day confirms the continued failure of the political process under the leadership of the united nations to deal realistically and firmly with the continuously intransigent position of the healthy militias and their dangerous escalation. after the u, a civilian infrastructure was subjected to terrorist attacks that claimed the lives

of innocent civilians. we can only ask mister greenberg when will they, appeasement of this terrorist group. and i put that point to the special envoy. it's not my position to hear from this podium store to discussing what members of the council mean and cousin me on, on this knowing that and that i hope i would be able to, to engage in close discussions, eyes her hands with her and with all other members over counseling to make sure that we, we understand the security council also heard that the lack of funding for the humanitarian situation in yemen is unprecedented. it means that next month the you and may have to cancel flights, delivering aid. and that means that some people in yemen might get no food at all. a funeral is being held for a palestinian man who was shot by israeli forces in the occupied was bank 20 year old and had bought goods. he was killed during a consultation between protesters and israeli soldiers. in the town of nabi sally

mona's gathered at a hospital in ramallah where his body repelled it. abraham has moved from cooper in the occupied west bank where the funeral is taking place. we are waiting for the funeral and the body of the had the letter goes, he to arrive here. he is going to be taken to his family's home, where the families expected to bid him define and farewell before he's laid to rest . he's a man who has been injured before one time. it was almost fatal, but he survived. and then he was killed yesterday in confrontations with these regular army in the neighboring town of nearby salis. his also just been recently rendered to least from israeli prisons. he's been on and off in his ready jails for a total of 2 years said this is the man who like many other young palestinians, has seen the difficulty of living under occupation. and the family has been saying

that they've been almost getting used to him being injured, being arrested, but now they lost him. and this is very heartbreaking. the convoy has left from a law and is expected to be here in the next few minutes. and this is the 5th palestinian to be killed just in a week wise radio forced his fire. at least 7 palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the year by a these ready forces. and this, if it shows anything, it shows an optic in the number of palestinians who are being killed by a, the israeli army. and it shows how much frustration there is in the palestinian st because the palestinians say that these people are being killed in cold blood. the european union's top court has dismissed the case by poland and hungary, challenging a new funding law. it would have allowed the you to cut funds to member states that

violate democratic rights and freedoms. the decision marks a milestone in the feud with poland and hungary, populace governments on protecting human rights will reach helen's who's live in london and has been looking at this closely. so talk us through this court ruling and how significant it is hungry in poland to have both said that the you with exceeding its powers in saying that a funds could be withheld from member states who had been judged to have broken the rule of law essentially and hungary and poland had both brought a case to the court of justice, the opinion, and that's the highest court of the block to basically over throw this regulation and the court by see if you decide that in their entirety,

they were going to reject these, these appeals from hungry and pilot, now hungry apartments, both have the right wing populace governments. and those governments have been causing consternation around the block in recent years for perceived back, sliding on democratic norms. for example, both countries have moved against the independence at the judiciary and moved against the independence of the media and both have challenged the supremacy of the you law. and the really has been struggling for quite some time. it worked out how it's going to respond to this. so what can we expect to happen next will be you use these powers now against hungry and poland. well, it probably will, but maybe not against both countries, and it might not happen anytime soon. and that's because this ruling has come from

the court of justice. it's actually a bit narrower, on closer inspection that it seems that basically boils down to find actual management within the member states. and if those countries actions can be judged to threaten the good management of you funds. so that's quite a certain narrow application that it's a, it's a bit narrow than just saying ok, this country has says, backs laid on democratic norms. and therefore, it's going to be punished property. what work that way and hungry is more of a candidates for the application of this than, than poland is because of the way this is all bad and hungry and his fidel party have been using you funds. poland is a slightly different case, but then there are other considerations as well, like whether the you really want to weighed in on an election that's upcoming in hungry. such a ruling against hungry would probably alter the outcome of that election,

or at least that tainted in some way. and there is also the consideration about what's going on with russia at the moment. the spat between ukraine and the you and, and, and russia and poland being a big part of that so that you might be a little bit reluctant to really use these new powers for the moment at least. okay, thanks for that. laurie challenge in london. thank you. as gun maker that made the rifle used in the 2012 sandy hook, school shooting has settled a lawsuit with some of the victims families, a payout of $73000000.00. i remington is thought to be the fast of its size against an american gum maker link to a mass shooting. moslin jordan reports. please say adam lanza used a bushmaster, a r 15 style rifle to kill 20 small children and 6 adults at sandy hook elementary

school in 2012. 2 years later, some of the victims families decided to su remington, the maker of the bushmaster, they were told they had no chance of winning. i could never tell you, i thought i'd see this day. and it's not going to bring mary back. it's not going to bring any of these kids back. ah, but the cost of business is going to go up substantially. the $73000000.00 settlement between remington, one of the oldest gun manufacturers in the united states. and some of the families is the 1st of its kind in this country. the deal means remington won't go on trial in september on charges. it's business practices contributed to the massacre today marks an inflection point when our duty of care to our children as a society finally supersedes the bottom line of an industry that made such an atrocity as sandy hook possible to begin with,

that accountability means the families will get to make public internal company documents showing just how remington market at bush masters to the public, especially to socially insecure young men. and the linchpin of this settlement is that it allows these families the rights to share the information as to what they learned. remington had fought the lawsuit, claiming a 2005 federal law did not hold it. and other gun manufacturers liable for how their products were you. no matter how tragic, no matter how much we wish those children and their teachers were not lost and their families had not suffered, the lot needs to be applied dispassionately. the sandy hook family say the time for being dispassionate is over. i made a very early promise to do everything in my power to honor his short life. this

lawsuit has been part of that promise to close his. i get to him now is by kissing his earn every night. telling him i love him and i miss him. but i made him a promise and i'll keep working to deliver that promise for the rest of my life. more than 9 years in 2 months after sandy hook, a hard fought accountability that still cannot erase the worst of losses. rosalind jordan, l g, sierra washington, seller's own al jazeera, we hear from argentinians as they cope with soaring inflation and rising prices. and no job, no job. we meet workers defying italy's latest measures against those were not vaccinated. as also noticed that back in line of messes, career pay. those are mine sanity. ah

ah ah ah ah, you're watching out as a reminder of our top stories this hour. u. s. president joe biden says he and

western allies believe a russian invasion of ukraine is still a distinct possibility. but he insists diplomacy must be given a chance. a former soldier whose deserted me, admirals army is told al deserve the brutal tactics. he says of being committed by a feared regiment funeral is being held for palestinian man, who was shot by israeli forces in the occupied westbank 19 year old had but to see was killed during a consultation between processed and israeli soldiers in the town of nabi. let's get more now on our top story. ukraine is holding a day of national unity in the face of the russian military presence near its border. the president followed me as it and ski called on citizens to show resilience and wave. the national flag i live will be we are all united by our wish to live in peace, to live a happy life about families, parents, and children. we have the full right to all of this because we're at home here in

ukraine. nobody will love our home as much as wages, and nobody can defend our home as much as we can. i wish you a happy unity day, my blue yellow ones, a happy day of unity of ukraine in the east and west in the north and south. it works only together and when it works west strong and then you go straight into natasha butler. i live in kia natasha. i believe this national unity day's been made into a public holiday. what can we expect from today? yes, present for lensky called for this national day or unity really to rally some patriotic spirit. he said it was a day to show that ukrainians all standing together, united not just amongst themselves, but also with the allies. this is a found sending a message to russia to say that ukrainians all strong. and if they were to be attacked, that they would not hesitate in fighting. so it's all about patriotism. it's all

about nationalism. this is the lensky trying to say that ukraine will not bow to what he sees at the threats of russian aggression is that military build up is still very much their own ukraine border this fight. russia saying that it has pulled some truth back. now, yesterday there was some cyber attacks against ukraine, which is always been a concern coming from russia. what more can you tell us about that? and how is that been responded to yes, your credit for government said that there were huge cyber attacks on the west side of the defense ministry and the all me but also against the on the websites i should say is to major state banks here. now it seems that the infrastructure of all of those of wasn't affected. this was very much an attack on the website

themselves. so if you were to go to the pages of any of those organizations, the bank for the defense, for then the website, you wouldn't have been able to see the actual web page. but nevertheless, ukraine's government has said that this could be an attack from russia. they are not pointing to think it has been no confirmation as to who is behind the attack. but western intelligence forces have, over the past days and weeks said that russia could use cyber warfare could on lead huge cyber attacks on ukraine. that could be a part of any possible inference offensive money. thanks for that. natasha butler. that 1st live in key f teachers on strike in zimbabwe as a pay and conditions have been suspended by the government. they say rising inflation is eating away at their salaries and they want to be paid in u. s. dollars. the government is offering them
