video claiming to show a partial pullback of forces from near ukraine. the kremlin says combat equipment and troops were leaving the crimean peninsula. seas from cave in 2014, and returning to bass. but nato secretary general was quick to dismiss any talk of a de escalation of tensions. we do not see any sign of the escalation on the ground, nor withdrawals of our troops or equipment. this may of course change. however, what we see to day is that, that russia maintains a massive invasion force ready to attacked with high end capabilities from crimean to, but are us strong words to from european union chiefs in strasburg, urging moscow to come to the negotiating table. lou schwab was ordered the choice to days between war and tragic sacrifices that would go along with it or to courage of a political engagement, a courage of a diplomatic negotiation. very clearly,

european union chooses diplomacy and chooses negotiation. we will demonstrate discourage your there was little sign of any russian troop withdrawals in belarus on wednesday. this another show of military bustle for the cameras. joint exercises would beller, russian troops, only deepening fears, a neighboring ukraine that had invasions imminent, on the land. and in the air, nato says russia has reached full combat readiness. but there is a shred of hope. in recent days, russia has signal that it will be willing to join talks about door remains open. due to marcia, nato runs the risk of being drawn into a long, protracted stand off with russia due to little and it runs the risk of a possible invasion in ukraine. something that could destabilize the whole of europe. russia is creating a new normal said stolen burg by using force to contest the principle of serenity

in europe. the alliance he said, must respond possibly with a new nato battle group in romania. the hope of an easy end to the stand off is fast fading. the barker al jazeera brussels will ukrainian government is saying a cyber attack. the at the defense ministry is the worst the countries ever seen and suspects russia might be behind it. the kremlin has denied that oh, and then inside the country, ukrainians have been raising the flag in a national day of unity as a shell of defiance and had fears that russia will invade. 1200 metre long flag was carried through the olympic stadium and cares. president roger mi zalinski is marked that day by attending military trails near the board with bella, ruth, and called on ukrainians to show resilience rudy, whom we are not afraid whatever's forecast. we are not afraid of any pupil any enemy. we are not afraid of any dates because we will defend ourselves both on the 16th of february and on the 17th and in march,

and april and september. and then december, no matter what day or month. latasha butler has more now from the ukrainian capital k f. in terms of the mood in the country. i mean, you could say that it pretty much seems to change day today. you got to try to imagine what it would be like to be living somewhere. where there is constantly this rest of invasion or attack. you've been warned by western powers intelligence sources saying that any day now russia could evade. and also in a country where on 3 sides, you have this huge build up of russian forces, some of them carrying out military exercises, just less than 200 kilometers from the capital here for example. so it's a very unusual atmosphere, but you know, a lot of people will say to you here in ukraine, look, we've been living in the shadow of a possible russian attack for many years now for nearly 8 years because ukrainian

forces have been fighting russian back separatists in the east of the country, we have been at war with russia for nearly ideas. now. maybe lots of people forgotten that they will tell you, but we certainly happened. but even that having said us, i have to say in the past days, people have suddenly become a little more pessimistic, a lot more anxious because the longer it drags out the harder it is to kind of mentally deal with all this. and people have started to do things like stuck up food and water and make preparations. think to themselves, what will i do if there isn't a talk? if there is an invasion, how will i safe, god, my family, where will i go? ukraine's day of national unity is being observed across the country, including border areas. now russia regions likely to be the front lines if any possible conflict with ukraine's east neighbor from the city of car keys. charles stratford has more now awe upon us. young brother's fate shall yet smile our enemies will perish, liked you. in the morning,

some woods of the ukrainian national anthem, the choir was national dress of the ceremony in a park in the eastern city of hot give. the gathering was held to mark what the ukrainian president valona may zalinski called a day of unity. the flag was raised from half mast soldiers stood to attention. after the national anthem, a singer tried to rouse the crowd with a popular song about morale and peace. ah, but only a few people came to watch after posing the photographs to quiet, began to leave by good joy for the unity of our country at night. they want to be your 90. we want to be very united. nearby, outside the tent, where for years people have signed up for the army and donated money poster of the

russian president in his belly, russian ally, and fellow neighbor of ukraine. but the city is calm. this book when the civic of it's quiet as usual, is just the normal routine day people whacking children at school. i don't know what will be will be. i am not worried. there is no point in worrying about that. on a day when you as intelligent services predicts a possible rush, an evasion of ukraine show of unity here in eastern city of car, give us a small group of people. and their message is that ukraine remains unified against what they in the government and their western back. a say is russian aggression. charles rapid al jazeera, called kit, or russia's find ministry. space person is mocked west and media for labeling wednesday invasion day. some news agencies, citing intelligence reports, et cetera. russia began attacking its neighbor in the early hours of the morning. but the kremlin called it fake news, and says that the trail of ukraine is

a victim, is inaccurate. yackel flake across his case. smith. there is a space on the state department's website that used to publish stories about the so called russian fake news. please publish stories about your own fake williamson created by your american media. if you need examples, i shall send you some discuss and may be for the 1st time in human history, but the so called aggressor, which the west appointed russia to bianca, and the so called victim, which ukraine is being described as are both denying everything that is being reported marie, but the last 8 apartment is hip bag saying it's russian officials who are planting stories in the media that could be used as a pretext to invade ukraine. so let's get more now from my cana, who's monitoring developments and washington state department still seems to be talking out the prospect of an eminent invasion. mike, tell us more about what you've been hearing here. city and state department saying that what it calls that

a window for invasion is still open. it's insistence that there has been no withdrawal of russian forces from the border region. in fact, very much the opposite secretary of state antony blinkin said that earlier in the day that they see no sign whatsoever. russia withdrawal, this was reiterated by the state department spokesman during a news conference, who up the ante and saying far from being any withdrawal that does in fact appear to be an increase in troops. this is what med price that to say. we are doing everything we possibly can to seek to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis. moscow has needlessly precipitated but those efforts, as we said, will be effective only if the russian federation is willing to de escalate. to be very, very clear, we have not seen that. in fact, we have seen the opposite in recent weeks. and even in recent days, more russian forces not fewer are at the border. and they are moving concerning li

into fighting positions. this is cause for profound concern and also like in the last hour or so president joe biden was supposed to be speaking to the german chancellor, just a day after a discussion with president putin. here's a deed while we're waiting for a readout of that particular conversation. the 2 leaders met in person a week ago, but obviously they're still items of massive interest on the agenda. precedent. biden's been holding regular, in fact, daily phone calls with various from european leaders. this yet another one, but one of the issues that is likely to be a point of discussion between the 2 leaders is once again president biden's, absolute assurance that should russia invade, then that nord stream to pipeline between russia and germany would be shut down. now this is a ticklish issue with his german ally. german relied germany relies will rely very

heavily on natural gas from that pipeline. they have not publicly in agreed to shutting down the pipeline. should there be an invasion? this is an issue that is a point of difference between the german and us lee this and certainly that would be a point of discussion in this phone call along with many other items as this crisis appears to continue and carry much my candidate all the latest from washington, elaine showed her as director of the frontier europe initiative middle east institute, and a former military adviser to nato, joins us via skype from washington. so then, can i ask you about nato's deployment to members bordering russia? does that increase the possibility of a conflict? i wouldn't say so if we are to look at the military balance between rush has minutes, rebuild up off between 10170000 troops in military exercises surrounding

ukraine on 3 sides versus what we have in what is amplified through the most recent base decisions in nato, we see a great disparity. we're talking again, 802870000 troops mobilized by russia in a very threatening manner. versus a few 1000 that have been deployed to nato member states on the eastern flag from the baltic countries to poland. and now with news of today, some troops being deployed, we don't know the exact number overall to her mania as well, which is not for to ring russia. so with, with that disparity in mind, we can consider these few 1000 troops additional as well as mere military trip wires, in the face, off of russian aggression. but russia wants to stop nato expansion. so could they

see something like this has been quite an tech antagonistic or provocative they could trust? i guess the more constructive question to ask is, how do we in the west perceived the russian military build up? if we look at the rush of the mans, particularly through those 2 drafts from a few weeks ago, what russia is actually demanding is not just the stop of military expansion, but the reduction of the nato on, in europe's east. so going back to the 2 countries like romania like the baltic countries and poland and telling them you should no longer be a member states of nato. and you should no longer host western troops on your territory. now that of course is completely unfeasible. and if that is being considered provocative by russia, then we're at a point where everything can be considered off by russia. well,

but specifically russia, is it, there's a lot of focus on ukraine right now. isn't it potentially a compromise about ukraine? not joining nato as unacceptable is that is to nato, that would be something that would prevent an imminent conflict with it. not i would doubt bags arm sincerity because i think this is just a pretext for the kremlin. and for putting who has been scapegoating nato for everything that is going wrong, according to his security understanding in eastern europe. and we have no guarantee at this point. and russian representatives have never even alluded to the idea that you've made a membership for off the ukraine would be off the table then that would satisfy russia finally. and they would have no more problems in european eastern countries

such as member said, poland for the baltics and romania. all right, thank you very much, alicia, joining us there from washington sled for you on the news hour. if you appears to grind rebels are accused of going on a revenge spree, and i'm har, region killing and raping civilians. look at why there's not much learning going on in some parts of zimbabwe right now. and later in sport, find out how a pretzel helped land of gold medal for this gear at the winter olympics. ah, the mayor of a brazilian town is saying, mud slides and floods now known to have killed at least $66.00 people off to a month's worth of rain fell in just a few hours. vehicles and houses was swept away in the city of metropolis and rio

unfortunately, there is such a level of impunity clearly on both sides, whereby the fighters feel that they can commit this kind of atrocities which amount to work crimes and possibly crimes against humanity that they can do so in, you know, total impunity which, which you know remains the case until now. now in the last, our brazil is reported another 1085 deaths from cove at 19. the world health organization is also saying that global death from cove, it a rising, but the overall number of positive tests is in decline. officials believe there's been a drop in testing now, warning countries not to abandon that isolation requirements and restrictions to quickly how could the deaths be going on and the number of cases is coming down. now it could be that the death we're seeing now or a leg from a few weeks ago, and that's a,

that's one explanation. the other explanation is the testing rates have dropped off remarkably in many countries. so countries who are claiming now to say are transmission has dropped and where we've got 23 fold less cases this week than we had to 6 weeks ago. go and look at the testing rates, and you see that the testing rates are mcclure, china's president has told hong kong leaders to makes it to make stabilize in the cities was cove. it outbreak of the pandemic there overriding mission hospitals are struggling to contain an overwhelming rise and infections with 2000 cases recorded daily this week. gillian wolf has more now. these coven 19 patients both young and old. wait outside, one of hong kong, major hospitals for their turn to be seen inside a facility filled to capacity. they're finding the base: their timing of a piccolo. with august behind him in the territories,
