but to prevent one. russia's deputy foreign minister, sir, gave, or shannon called the accusations baseless, insisting that weapons supplied to ukraine by the west. are the real threat that the bully, the coastal, is that as you get. the fact is that the russian forces were on the russian territory and remain on russian territory. and the day before yesterday, some of the units off of their exercises were returning to the home basis. still, many countries expressed concern as the number of russian troops on the border appears to be increasing. and while russia presented its own evidence of alleged ukrainian war crimes against separatists, the u. s. and others dismissed the claims as a false pretext to invade. these are weak and irresponsible allegations by russia aimed at hiding his responsibility for the occupation of the ukrainian territories and subsequent human race. while ations, their exxon sits ukraine, remains committed to peaceful resolution. the one thing security council members appeared to agree on as that the 2015 minsk agreement,

which was signed to en conflict in eastern ukraine, be the basis of diffusing tensions. but as thursday's meeting made clear, russia and ukraine have very different views on how that deal should be implemented . kristin, selena al jazeera, the united nations long kong health care system is near to breaking point. following a rec hall surgeon covered 19 cases. hospitals of rich 90 percent capacity impatience are being treated in makeshift open air spaces. the territory reported more than 6000 new cases on thursday. at ease the strain, some patients are being discharged early and authorities are looking to increase, testing, multi and home gone. you whole some, hong kong has already worked hard to increase its testing ability. at the end of the month we should get to around $300000.00. i latoya, we have an invitation to our resources. so you, we have expressed are nice and i trust the chinese government will directly respond

to our needs. that thing. but kinda joining us when i set a hospital in hong kong, right? we're in today 3 of this. and it seems as though things are actually just getting worse. it has to be said, it certainly isn't getting any better. they've set up more tents here. there are barriers set off and a few he says as well to accommodate for the surge in patients. many of them elderly people lying outside the beds behind me. and we've seen this as you say, for the 3rd day in a row. the hospital authority has apologized for this situation. however, it is happening again as you mentioned, another record 6000 cases. so it has to be said, there is a capacity problem, hospitals are overstretched, and there is no quick solution to this. the government is working into expanding isolation facilities, including turning hotels into quarantine facilities, student dormant freeze,

and housing estates as well. they're also looking into building a make shift hospital like the one we saw early on in the pandemic, and will hon, which was built in 10 days. there also, i have a designated fleet now of taxi drivers who take pete patients from home to isolation facilities. the policy is currently that if you display any symptoms of cov id or even if they're mild, you should in theory be transported to an isolation facility. however, because of this bottleneck, people are having to wait thousands of people across the city of having to wait at home until they're admitted. and some of for some that day just doesn't come. the 0 covert policy that the hong kong government and of course other countries as well have been maintaining does seem to have had a significant effect. but things are changing. no. is there any indication the government is willing to adopt the policy or maybe even switch away from it completely? no,

the virus. there are no indications that they are willing to live with a virus like we've seen in other parts of the world. that's not forget, hong kong went for months last year. without any cases. it's been exceptionally a contained here for the most of the pandemic, hong kong watches, other hospital systems around the world were overwhelmed, but just not here. so there's a lot of frustration that 2 years down the line. 1 why wasn't gotten more prepared for this day to come? but thank you very much indeed. does brick senate? i've said a hospital in hong kong. israel scrapping is so called green pass covered policies . infections go down. the certificate system required proof of vaccination recovery from the disease or a negative test to ensure entry to public venues. it was part of the government's efforts to curb the spread of the virus, including the omicron variant, which pushed infection rates to record levels famous and the family bennett says the latest wave appears to be breaking. the dodge prime minister,
