to say that mattie's houses. yeah. ah ah, air raid sirens black in eastern ukraine, russia back separatist, announced the evacuation of de next and a cons. blaming a rise in shelling. it would be catastrophic. that's as the un secretary general is. she is a di awarding and calls the diplomacy to resolve the crisis. ah, the whole robin, you're watching al jazeera life. my headquarters here in dough are also coming up. the roof of a major london arena is ripped off

a storm eunice batter southeast and england's and the police officer who killed a 20 year old black man in the us state of minnesota is sentenced to 2 years in prison. ah, welcome to the program, separatists leaders and eastern ukraine. se civilians will be moved to russia with the approval of the kremlin. it's after an increase in fighting between government forces and the russian backed rebels. but ukraine says it has no intention of attacking the separatist rule region. all crimea, which moscow seized in 2014 calls for immediate d escalation, have been front and center at the munich security conference. the un secretary general antonio garish, says tension, seem higher now than during the cold war with a concentration of russian forces it on the ukraine. i am deeply concerned about heights intentions and increase speculation about

a military conflict in europe. i still sing it will not happen, but if it did, it would be catastrophic. there is no alternative to diplomacy. all issues, including the most inflexible must be addressed. so diplomatic frameworks. and it is high time to seriously deescalate. bullying says up to $100.00. 90000 russian soldiers remain near the ukrainian border. and moscow says president vladimir putin will oversee nuclear drills on saturday. under summonses live for us in the kia van andrew. we're hearing russian reports of a car bomb in the da nets region. what more you hearing about that we're hearing from russian news agent says that the was a car bombing. internet's been the government offices. there is

a picture on twitter and indeed video on twitter of a car, a blaze in what appears to be an empty car park. this is a but, but news suggests in no injuries as such, but this is a unconfirmed report that it does appear to have happened loud explosion which was echoing around the gnats. and this, in, in the darkness, after air raid sirens were blazing of, of what across the city and people in what appeared to be a panic situation reported to be hewing at cash points and an hewing eye traffic all over the city. after a coal from the head of the dynette sca people's republic for people to evacuate mass evacuation, i was cold for also in law hands. the other popular republic

a separatists were ordering people not to prepare to leave. buses were seen coming in to set points for collections and were also pictures of long traffic cues heading supposedly to the border, or people deciding to actually go of their own volition to get out of the, the line being given a by leaders of these 2 republics is that there is aggression from ukraine that they are in danger by staying so what has happened is really the panic has been whipped up. and perhaps one of the most disturbing aspects is in le hantz itself, is the head of, of, that's a government calling on all males to who able to use a gun to assemble and a volunteer to fight the aggressors. now this is

a and to, to, to try to actually get together and join the forces. there are this all follows on from shelling, attacks across the contact line as it's known. and the suggestion by the break away republic, sir, that are that the ukraine was attacking them, but ukraine is accusing them of false flag operations and trying to whip up a situation whereby the could be a 4 runner to an invasion by russia. and that could be a conflict ahead of calls. the false flag issue has been a sensitive one that's been raised by many politicians in the region. what a ukrainian official saying about this apparent incident, if anything at all not an official state of the tool right now. but there is information i've received from

a security source. he is saying that this is a propagandist action by the russian sympathizes and, but also russia itself being involved in this and a provocation really for ukraine at to, to act. but ukraine, it would appear, has not been involved in any action. it's all there is also here. he says, he told me that the key takeaway is that this could well be a full runner at 2 military action by russia. this is the concern. it could be, he said, he also said that they'd be monitoring the actions of a propagandist operation within, within the republic of dynette skin particular and there have been a number of false allegations won the traps. is the comment of the foreign minister to meet true caliber who said that sir, there had been a false report of

a chemical production plant, a being an attempted attack of that plant by, by to savage, hers as they were described. and they were said to be purported to be an actual of special forces members from ukraine who was shot dead according to this report. and they were actually assembling some sort of bomb using chlorine. now this, according to the foreign minister, is complete fiction. and it obviously has caused, caused concern amongst the public in this area, not just on the, the side of the people's republic, but also on the ukrainian side. and the question mark now is really what action will the ukrainian government take will its attempt to evacuate its own people from this they were talking about hundreds of thousands of lives through an 8 year war. and now they see this, and uh,

the pretext if it is for russian action could well be along the lines of the russian saying, well look, we're, we're protecting our own people. this is what a security source has said that. so that could be, that could be action. so, and it also fits in a, with the, the western leaders in particular, nato and the united states are saying that this, the false flag operations such as be, are apparently happening here, according to your craniums. could be the precursor to a full on a military action by the russians. and of course sir, lloyd austin with the u. s. secretary of defense has been making the point that there are more ah more reinforcements, more forces, both troops and equipment around all borders. the russians are, but by no means are they returning to the garrison. so coming back to the situation on the ground here, it is incredibly tense in the don bass region now, which has seen a shelling over a, a 48 hour period. it particularly intense on thursday and of was one incident

involving a kindergarten at witcher was a, was a false like operation according to the ukrainians in which a few people were injured under simmons and kept thanks so much for the update that us cross over to our diplomat to get it to james basie standing by the meaning security. convers, obviously an incident still in its early stages and being investigated. james won that. diplomats and politicians will be keeping a very close eye on where you are in munich. obviously the un secretary general had very a clear warning of his concerns as did the secretary of state. yeah, i think what we're seeing in east in ukraine is clearly being monitored very, very closely by those that are here at the meetings security conference that's being this ticket violence in the last 48 hours, which is causing real concern. because you know, the situation we've had for the last couple of weeks,

which is the build up of troops which has been going on for months. some saying that that could be as many as a $160000.00 russian troops now around ukraine. and also these us intelligence reports that they have been making very public, that they believe that there is the intent by president putin. he has all the resources and he has a plan, a plan for an all out invasion, focusing 1st on a pincer tackle. and then taking the whole country, and i think anyone who is skeptical of that is, is certainly listening very closely to what is happening in east in ukraine. because perhaps that could be the spark that everyone hit is fearing. certainly, the u. s. secretary of state who's been totally blanking said that he is increasingly worried about the prospect of war. the differences have to be resolved

to dialogue through diplomacy. we are deeply concerned that that is not the path that russia isn't bardon. and that everything that we're seeing, including what you've described in the last 20 for 48 hours, is part of a scenario that is already in place of creating false provocations of then having to respond to those provocations and then ultimately committing new aggression against ukraine. i think it's very important for us to shine a light on what we see perhaps that will move russia to a to a different path. of course, james, you're the del delegation seems to be going in and out of our, where you are at the moment of the allotted to monitor. but one of the things that you would monitor normally is what the russians would say at a conference like this. they're not there, but they've had their say in moscow to day. yeah,

president putin has been speaking in moscow. and clearly, they are watching very, very closely what's going on here in music, as you say, circa love roth is a regular, at the music security counter conference, the russian foreign minister. they made it very clear they weren't coming here. i think russian, german relations are still tense, but perhaps not as tenses with some other members of the west, but i think they see this as a western gathering, particularly when you've got key figures from the u. s. not just the secretary of state. the next few hours we're gonna hear from commer harris, the u. s. vice president. and you're also gonna here on saturday for president zalinski, who's coming in from kia to give the ukrainian view. russia will watch this incredibly closely, i think. and i think what they'll be watching for is any cracks among the alliance of nato. an all. so any differences with the ukrainians here and see if that

any of that joint resolve is, is missing at this, i think, somewhat dangerous time. remember, of course, that many of these nations are relying on the u. s. and to an extent, you k intelligence, to say what is going on the can, they can see the build up of troops, but the intent to start a conflict. that is all the arguments for that are coming from us intelligence. and i think some of the nato allies, although the publicly supporting everything they do remember 2003 in reference of mass destruction from iraq in iraq. and i think any little differences will be poured over by moscow change based our diplomatic editor. thanks very much for the update. james. now millions of people across the u. k. and ireland ah, being warned to stay at home, still mute his lashes the countries reco gus of a 10195 kilometer winds have ripped off parts of the roof of london. these 2 arena,

the highest gust of wind ever recorded in english. and one man has been killed by falling tree and island while trying to clear daybreak. where we challenge has more mount side blend torina. to say the winds, where i'm in the moment a little bit less than they were earlier down and different location. but you can see behind me the effects of the winds. this is the london o 2 arena. formally cold, the millennium dome. it's a huge exhibition and constant space in greenwich and london southeast. and as you can see, a very sorry sight to the moment the fabric skin that covers the melanie am dire in that part, at least as being completely ripped asunder by store of eunice. it will take some time, i think, to repair that as far as we know, know, injuries and deaths caused by that incident or elsewhere. know, death reported in the u. k. that's not the same though. an island where

a man has been killed by a falling tree. he was out trying to clear storm deb re when that happens. the ambulance services in the u. k. being swamps doe in south central england there have declared a critical incident teacher, the demand on emergency services and disruption from storm eunice, the red warning. so that have been in place across parts of the country. the south east london, the south west and south wales. those of all past now, and we're now moving into amber situations. well, still had hailed al jazeera trade and the pandemic have been on the agenda on the summit between the e u. an african union leader. also the dutch prime minister apologizes indonesia, the atrocities committed in its former colony. ah.

the temperatures are on the rise 1st, the audi. hello everyone. great to see you at all has to do with this southerly push their re add 28 degrees on saturday. look at q $827.00, and bach the $25.00. but all of this here means that sand and dust will be swirling around and that's going to impact the visibility. this is a brief form up for re i. as we look toward monday, wind shift around to the northwest, so that drops your temperature to $22.00, which is more line with where it should be for this year. things are settled in pakistan, karachi at $27.00 degrees and i think for iran western areas. anyway, over the higher ground, we've got some rain and mountain snow to come. now that what, whether that was moving west to east across turkey, it's now dip to the south in the eastern med and you know, the name of the game, right? that shifts toward the east. and this becomes a story for the labatte. we've had high temperatures, central africa, juba bungie into a booge, i near record breaking temperatures beneath telco and gone out. it's going to be

what we can for eastern south africa. and then here's our remnants of what was the tropical cyclone slamming into central and northern mozambique. it's not a question if we'll see flooding, but just where and how much. and then our next tropical storm is creeping closer to madagascar looking to make landfall near the capital and turned in a repo next week that dropped the season. ah, the frank assessments for china. well banish it from the 0. call it strategy. if the rest of the world cannot get to get informed opinions at all costs luckiest on needs. and on friday's thought of that statement, critical debate, why group would claims that nato constitutes an interesting chill threat to rush up . but it's precisely his actions that we did this insecurity in the region in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera

lou. the me look back, you're watching, i'll just bear with me. so rom, no reminder of all the top stories, russia, back separatist leaders and eastern ukraine, say they're moving civilians to russia with the kremlin approval. that's been an increase in shutting between ukrainian government pulses and the separatists calls for immediate de escalation and ukraine have been from things not the music security conference, un secretary general antennae. good terrorist says tension, seem higher than during the cold war. and parts of the roof of london to arena had been ripped off by record when at least one person has been killed. an island has told you this lashes the region in the us say,

white police officer, convicted of manslaughter after killing a black man during a traffic stop has been sentenced to 16 months in jail. kim potter will serve a further 8 months on supervised release. after finishing her prison term pos said she mistook her gun for a taser before shooting dante wright. and i'll never be able to forgive you for what you don't win from us. i won't be listening and don't mistake any of my words. because we can't afford the defendant to make any more mistakes. because name is dimitria. wright has been john henry, who's in minneapolis. and john, it's been a difficult days at dante wright's family, but a conclusion has been reached. that's right. that was dante wright's mother speaking before the sentencing. after the

sentence. they were not happy with that 24 month sentence, 16 months of it being served in prison. and since she's has already served kim potter has already served $58.00 days in jail. that will be subtracted, so the sentence to continue was more like 14 months, and the family says that simply didn't do justice to the loss that they are suffering the life of this 20 year old young man a father. but the judge says that kim potter was trying to do the right thing that she was justified in firing what she thought was her taser, but she made a terrible mistake and pulled out her gun instead. killing dante wright, the judge says there was, she doesn't need to be rehabilitated because she didn't intend to commit a crime. shows that prison time was to represent the penalty that needs to be paid due to the loss of life of dante right. but downtown writes,

family says that is simply not enough. so there will be a definite negative reaction in the streets, probably of echoing what the family has to say. but we don't expect that kind of protests and violence in the street. and we had, after the death of george floyd, after all, this is an officer who was held accountable in some way. and unlike the other cases that we've had were white police officers have killed young black men and women. this is a case in which the judge says she did not intend to do so that's what seemed to justify that relatively short sentence. the guidelines called for a sentence of $6.00 to $8.00 and a half years. prosecutors had asked for 7, an early on they'd even ask for additional time. they said that this was so egregious, that the judge should go beyond the guidelines and actually give her a longer sentence. in the end, they just ask for about 7 years and what they got was to 16 months of that served

in prison. so they're going to be a lot of unhappy people here who feel that that was not enough. and some of them have already spoken. they are members of dante rights family because we'll come back to you as we get more reaction. john entered the 4th minneapolis. thank you. hundreds of people have gathered his minnesota for the funeral of a black been killed during a police raid early this month. of may and log didn't live at the apartment and wasn't named on the warrant, but was shot within 10 seconds of police entering bonus call for them to what is known as no knock. warren, 6 african countries have been chosen to establish their own m r n. a vaccine production. the world health organization says move aims to ensure africa can make its own vaccines to find coven 19 and other diseases in the future. the parker has more from brussels and go over the vaccine inequality between europe and africa. cost

illnesses than powerful pharmaceutical companies, should share their research, allowing african scientists to make vaccines from scratch in africa for africans. that's the goals that the french president without making any firm commitments. pasco ski, i think that the objective we should proceed said, intellectual property should never be a barrier to the production and dissemination of vaccines wherever they needed. that is the objective to some of the african, any you leaders of describe the summit as a fresh start with a president of senegal, mikey sol edge in europe, to shed colonial era prejudices. and to engage with a new dynamic continent. the use responded with an economic new deal for africa in the form of a 170000000000 dollar array of massive infrastructure plans to compete with china's belt and road initiative. what this means for africa is a new recommitment. and in you any section, all your can capture your coupons to be able to drive africa was a transition,

but also looks at our transformation. also look at looking at energy and green and also looking at in environment and also things around a ricardo. so it's a big, big package that energy is going to be the am a big player in the, all of this new relationship. i know being a fair, 155 countries and a combined population of 1300000 people. the african union's long been accused of lacking unity of doing deals with foreign power separately, and often in competition with one another. in many ways, the pandemic focus the african unions demands to be treated as equals reframe in the continent as a place where wealthy western countries are ready to heavily invest. people can al

colonialism in 2020, the dutch king apologized for excessive violence during its colonial rule island. and in the same year returned hundreds of stolen artifacts to indonesia. it is very significant. he caused the dust is fighting, working with multiple useful for us to find the truth. now me is in her late seventy's, her father was killed by dutch forces. his death brought financial hardship for her family. but she says she received less than $100.00 as compensation. and then to think about, if my dad had lived my life could have been different. though her life has been difficult, she accepts the apology. if they can apologize, she says that i can forgive them. jessica washington, algeria carol, along with java, has blah says one of his strains is returned from israel after completing
