which moscow seized in 2014 calls for immediate de escalation, have been front and center at the music security conference, un secretary general, antonio good harish says, tensions seem higher now than during the cold war with the concentration of russian forces on the ukraine. i am deeply concerned about heights intentions and increased speculation about a military conflict in europe. i still sing it will not happen. but if it did, it would be get has traffic. there is no alternative to the plumber, c. all issues including the most intractable, must be addressed. so diplomatic frameworks. and it is high time to seriously deescalate. while you says up to 190000 russian soldiers remain near the ukrainian border. now moscow says that present vladimir putin will overseen nuclear drills on

saturday. andrew simmons, his lie for us in care of where we begin our coverage. and andrew, we're hearing reports. certainly the last few hours a car bomb in the den x region. what more do we know about that? will this was a car parked in the rebel had caught as the self proclaimed government over that of the republic of demands of, to netscape, excuse me. and this car bomb went off something like 2 hours ago. now. russian media, we're reporting it, it was set by local sources to have been owned by the security chief at for the republic that don't appear to be any casualties. and we're already hearing now from the us state department. they see this as a false flag incident. this is a term used for something that really is a, a,

not a not real, not, not factual in terms of whether or not it was the ukrainians. who actually did this, or there have been claims that there were saboteurs or ukrainian saboteurs operating in the republic. all denied by ukraine and really a whole series of times being made in this area. this all happened when mike fell, and there have been hours before a call for a mass evacuation of people into russia because of the threat from ukraine. again, this has been denied by recording that they're offering any that's getting any threats to the people of these report. this is republic and also the republic of lou hanson, which also called on all citizens to leave and buses were laid on for this. of course, in these mass evacuations were quite a surprise announcement earlier in the day. i mean where these people going to go

in terms of their own security. if all of these air raid sirens again awful over the place. well, that's why the air raid sirens wailed right across the area. hundreds of thousands of people are involved in this. and the suggestion was made that there would be the elderly women and elderly and children won't be bust out 1st. and people were, were crowding around cash machines getting their savings out. there were cues of traffic heading for the russian border, heading for a what some sort of shelter it would appear to be an amazingly large logistical operation. and of course, this, this insistence that ukraine was threatening these people at a security source has told me that sir. he described it as a provocation of precursor, possibly to military action, by the russians, ostensibly, to protect russians. internet's and la hans, the the rebels in that area saying that they were there coming on the shell far

from ukraine. ukraine saying that wasn't the case. since thursday, the has been intense. shelling described why one source and through the reuters news agency as the worst shelling a sense, the ceasefire of 2015. i'm. we're seeing now a really a what is being described by all concerned in ukraine unofficially as a highly dangerous situation on a question mark over the ukrainian side of the, of the contact line. the front line between the 2 sides, civilians in this area are obviously petrified. they've seen 8 years of war, but now this is a very, very serious developments. and we're also hearing now that long range artillery has opened fire a quite intensively. it would seem not from the republic side for the break away

region. and there is now concern over that escalating even more so, right. the way across the board there is concern. perhaps the most or worrying sign is in the hands where the head of the, of the government there has called on all men of fighting age to enlist. and there are pictures being shown of what purports to be an enlistment center with men queuing outside in the, the term was used anybody capable of using a gun should fight against the aggressors. so this is definitely a situation that is getting more serious by the moment under sevens in the ukrainian capital care. thanks, sandra. let's cross over to munich, where our diplomatic, i did a james base is standing by at the munich security conference. and james, the stage is sat, the opening statements have been made. i'm sure everybody is keeping an eye on developments of just a few hours ago in ukraine. yeah,

all sorts of leaders around the world a here in munich. the notable absence is russia. so gay latter off the russian foreign minister is normally here is a regular the music security conference. he is not here, but i'm sure the russians will be watching very closely what's being said so far. the warning of a catastrophe of his invasion from the un secretary general. again, the u. s. secretary of state saying that he's very worried about the imminent prospect of all. let's talk more about this with seth moulton. he is a us congressmen who joins us now. you just a short time ago with the u. s. secretary of state and the u. s. vice president. wow. would you say they feel the situation is developing? i think the situation is dire. i think we're standing on the precipice of the largest military action in europe. since world war to a full scale russian invasion of a sovereign country, and if and if that happens,

that consequences for the rest, the west, the consequences for the future of nato, the immediate refugee consequences. and the massive loss of life will be something that we haven't seen in a very long time. do you think putin has made his decision? because certainly the warnings were getting from us intelligence of being shed very, very widely, with journalists, with diplomats from other countries. look, a window for diplomacy remains open. i believe that we heard that from the secretary of state and from the vice president. so according to them who has not made his final decision, i think they're right. but he has all the cars right now. and this is a very dangerous situation. it's certainly a very tense atmosphere here at munich, very different than in years past. if put in, does this, what will be the response you think from the west and also let me ask you about what are the risks for putting in doing some? well, i think food has dramatically underestimated unified nato will be. and we are hearing

that and seeing that in every meeting that we have, the germans are with us. the rest of the e. u is with us, the u. k. as a strong partner, i think pooty thought that he would be able to find some divisions of maybe the germans wouldn't stand with america. and that's not what you see. so the consequences for prudent are going to be very severe. and we're working to have a sanctions regime in place that will not only hit russia, but hit proven personally hit him and his oligarch buddies to make it clear that the cost will be very high. you say you've got sanctions, but you haven't actually reached an agreement in congress on those sanctions. not like you were close. and then the partisan bickering got in the way to net. look, we have a lot of debates in congress to put it lightly. and partisanship is a, is a, is a real thing. but there's no question in my mind that if who actually the decides to invade, you'll see a very united united states congress just as we are. so united with our allies in

nato. here at noon. you talked about the unity of the allies, but there will be some watching this and, and i, my day job is that you and the neal can people whisper things to me? yes, we know the russian troops of that. but the intent to invade is all based on us intelligence and people have reason long memories. they remember 2003, they remember w, m d in iraq. cam us intelligence be trusted this time to have got it right. or could putin and his ambassadors around the world. busy who side is all the military exercise of the idea? there's a war is a title hoax. be right. well, james, it's a fair question because you're right about the history. but i think the europe, our european allies, were skeptical of the intelligence a few months ago. or they're not skeptical of it now. now, let's be clear, i said, poodle still has a decision to make. he can turn this into the largest military exercise that he's ever conducted the is ever conducted since world war 2. if he genuinely wants to,

there is still a path for diplomacy, but it's very narrow. and i think that our european allies fully understand the details of the intelligence in terms of what he can do, the forces he has arrayed. and what an invasion would mean for the fate of ukraine and of course, munich, security conference and this major topic, lots of other things being discussed. it continues to monitor the british private of supplying it. i know you've been speaking to the, the vice president of the u. s. she's going to be speaking here, but perhaps most importantly, present the lead steel. no, i'm hearing something that back in washington are advising in the practice is not a wise thing to come here. well, i mean look, he, this is the, this is the beauty of the sovereign country. he can make his own decisions and he's decided that is important for him to be here. i expect he'll be here for a couple days and then go back to the with his people in ukraine. but this is clearly a very dire time, and we're doing everything we can to have the peace through dialogue, which is the motto of the music's security conference. but of course,

that's hard when the russians pulled out. as you said earlier, leverage is an annual fixture of this conference. he's usually quite controversial, but simply having that dialogue, it is important, the fact that the entire relegation a russian delegation has pulled out, is a bit of an ominous sign. seth melton, us congressman, thank you very much for joining us here on out 0. this event, i think completely dominated it's fair to say, and they do discuss allotment, assign seth melton, us. congressman, thank you very much for joining us here on out to a 0. this event i think completely dominated it's fair to say, and they do discuss a lot of things here by the crisis in ukraine. perhaps give you an example. so the ra nuclear deal is it may co break stage, and yet, yes, there are people talking about it. these are the prime minister is going to be here, the writing in foreign minister, lots of others. but the focus is very much on the situation in ukraine. it is as

well follower events are over the weekend with you. james, thanks very much let. so expand on this with alan fisher who's at the white house. and james just alluded to the fact that her presence lensky might or might not attend the munich conference. what sort of mutterings are you hearing about that from where you are, alan? but they're certainly plenty around here. they're concerned that presidents zalinski my actually leave the country for 24 to 48 hours. they believe that that could give the russians an opportunity. the belief he should still be in the country, but a set. morton pointed out he is the president of an independent country and can make those sort of decisions for himself even if the americans are slightly consent . joe biden certainly believes that the diplomatic route is the one to take, and he got his at security briefing 1st thing this morning. he then went into a meeting, a video call with trans atlantic allies, including the european union, or the, the british, and also the canadians. they talked about the latest situation and

a last minute addition to joe biden shed. joel, today is at 4 pm local time. so just under 3 hours is expected to talk in the roosevelt room here at the white house, about the latest situation in the ukraine that we had from a monday. he said that he believed that vladimir putin was just at days or perhaps even hours away from invading. we've had people are from various parts of washington over the last 2448 hour saying look, this could happen in hours, or vladimir putin could keep russian troops on the border with ukraine for a number of months to continue the uncertainty to try and play prior part, nato allies, they will continue to put pressure on the germans as well, which the russians believe me will be the weak link because of the energy question . they're at. so job bike will outline in a couple of hours exactly what the american position, as we're not expecting any radical change in position. he will continue to say,

diplomacy is the answer. at attacking ukraine is a bad idea and there will be sanctions immediately, any russian troops crossed the border. it of course, has been the americans that have been seeing for the last 10 days to 2 weeks that the russians could stage some sort of false flag operation. no official comment. and what has happened on that. and the 2 bombings that the andrew was talking about earlier, but certainly we may get some indication from joe biden if he thinks that is the way for, but sadly, some sort of clarification from joe biden, coming in the next couple of hours. and we'll come back to you when we get that oliver should there for us at the white house. thank you. plenty more had here on the out is there a news are including hope fades. the survivors in southeast and brazil after devastating floods as a warning of more heavy rains to come and a career ending band for nigerian olympian because of doping violations. more that

story in sport, camille ah, another use in the usa, white police officer, convicted of manslaughter after killing a black man during a traffic stop has been sentenced to 16 months in prison. can potter will then serve a further 8 months on supervise release. after finishing her prison turn, potter said her. she mistook her gun for taser before shooting dante wright. and i'll never be able to forgive you for waiting stolen 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 danty, demetrius freight truck. her drink has more from outside the court in minneapolis. 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, right? 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 wright bridge on the rights family says that is simply not enough. so there will be a definite negative reaction in the streets from ably echoing what the family has to say. but we don't expect that kind of protests and violence industry that 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 the 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 $68.00 and a half years prosecutors had asked for 7 and early on they even asked for additional time well at the moment will speak to just to go, professor of criminal justice at the university of central florida. but just before we speak to her, let's listen to kim pasa, what she had to say before she was sentence. i am so sorry that i bought the death of your son, father, brother, uncle, crown, son. if you are the rest of your family to your home, katy stand, mother. i'm sorry.

oh, miss gar, welcome to the program. we just begin with the fact that it may not be the sentence the family may have wanted, but it is a conviction that should bring them some sort of consolation will it it is definitely not the sentence that the family was hoping for. but yes, i think that the very fact that this officer was prosecuted, convicted and given a prison sentence, suggest something about the changing landscape of police accountability and the willingness of prosecutors to start bringing these cases forward. the willingness of jurors chicken begged in the willingness of judges to impose present terms. the killing of all the black civilians by police officers has been highlighted at a gruesome level long cover all the range of incidents from dante right to george

floyd. how much of a mindset change has there been in minority societies at the moment in the us about getting justice said that it is actually possible it's still very much an uphill climb. these types of cases where an officer is held to account, remaining exception. what is hopeful is that this will become something that is more viable in the future in a way that it hasn't been in the past. how much work do you think still has to be done between communities and law enforcement? when we hear lawmakers and police chief saying changes happening, operational reviews are underway. well, it's a huge undertaking. it is not something that's going to happen overnight. even with a lot of people on board with it. it's really

a difficult thing to do to change the operations and an entire institution. and i am hopeful with the level of enthusiasm that we have seen, including from with increasing that things are going to change for the better. but this is also a matter of policy, it's also a matter of updating lies with respect to the use of force. and that's just something that really takes a lot of time to fully implement those types of reforms to pay. you talk about policy there in recently, and we just mentioned on the news today as well that the know not policy has recently be in the limelight again, with the controversial shooting by a police officer in minneapolis solve the lock in early february policy change, an operational considerations a different and varied from state to state across the us can uniformity in the way

the police conduct themselves as a be achieved probably, and not. because policing in the united states is decentralized. that means that local jurisdictions control their own police organizations and therefore have the right to develop their own policies at the local level. of course, they have to conform to the structures of law in a broader sense in the constitution. but ultimately, the specifics of a policy are locally determined, enlarge park, and that's the way that us policing is structured. there's nothing that the federal government can really do to step in and force them to adopt. for instance, a uniform use of force policy. the federal government is kind of limited in the

amount of control that can exert over local agencies with a great deal to think about. certainly for the moment just to go thanks very much for joining us from orlando in florida. thank you. thanks for having a man and a woman who have been killed as a powerful storm lashed to england and ireland. both were killed by falling trees, but in separate incidents. believe the people of the war to stay at home, record gusts of 195 kilometer bra have ripped off parts of the roof of london. oh to arenas. well, roy challenge has more from outside the o 2 to say the winds, where i'm in the moment a little bit less than they were earlier down in a different location. but you can see behind me the effects of the winds. this is the london o 2 arena, formerly cold, the millennium dome. it's a huge exhibition and constant space in greenwich and london, south east. and as you can see, a very sorry sight to the moment,

the fabric skin that covers them at any time 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, no injuries and no deaths caused by that incident or elsewhere. no debts reported in the u. k. that's not the same though in islands where a man has been killed by a falling tree. he was out trying to clear storm devry. when that happens, the ambulance services in the caving swamps though 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 being in place across parts of the country, the south east london, the south west and south wales days of all past now. and we're now moving into amber situations. the rescue workers in brazil are still clearing daybreak after

deadly landslides, as hope of finding survivors narrows, at least 117 people were killed in the city of federal palace. after heavy reigns on tuesday, homes are buried under tons of debris. dozens of people are still missing. present jibe, olsen are described the aftermath as a war zone. after surveying the destruction on friday, having garza i was at home 2 days ago and all of a sudden the storm came and overwhelmed us. it felt so unreal at the time the muddy flo swept the gym here 1st and then to the gas station over there. we lost a lot of friends. my wife lost her dear folks who were buried beneath no mighty of amazement. they've only resided my husband was in danger because the clinic where he worked was hit by a muddy fly. and it was a very difficult time for him as he had a narrow escape. he is lucky to be with us now. no, mexico's government is under increasing pressure to investigate the killings of 5 journalists within the 1st 6 weeks of this year. hundreds of reporters rallied outside the military headquarters in tijuana, president,

andreas manuel lucas ober door was holding a news conference there. he's been criticized verbally, abusing journalists, referring to them as thugs, mercenaries, and sell outs. at the 50 reporters had been killed in mexico since december 2018. while stella had here on the news on leave all face arrest. that's the warning to trucker. lead protesters in canada as new police power come into effect. and will tell you which 6 african countries have been chosen to establish their own m r n a vaccine production site during the e u a u summit and, and sport, the silver arrow returns. we get a 1st glimpse of the new mercedes formula, one ah .

temperatures are on the rise per saudi. hello, everyone, great to see it all has to do with this southerly push of their re add 28 degrees on saturday. look at q 827 and bach, that 25. 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 warm up for re i'd. as we looked 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 east or 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 temperature of central africa, juba bungie into a booge, i near record breaking temperatures beneath togo and gone up. it's going to be a 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 tenant aretha next week. that trip that susan ah dictatorships to democracies, activists to corporations, control of the message is crucial. oil companies have become very good at recognizing ways to phrase what they want you to hear. we care about the environment you do to you should buy our oil plead for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. listening post examined the vested interest behind the content you can see on al jazeera. hm.

and i success story thing night after 9 to be anyway. and she ah ah, welcome back to watching al jazeera news are with me. so he'll rob the reminder of our top stories, russian buck, separatist, lead as an eastern new crane say that they're moving civilians to russia with the kremlin approval as been an increase in shelling between ukrainian government

forces and the separatists. calls for immediate, the escalation in ukraine have been front in the center of the music security conference. you in secretary general antonio terrace says tension seem higher than during the cold hall. and the white police officer convicted of manslaughter after killing a black man during a traffic stop has been sentenced to 16 months in prison. and potter will and serve a further 8 months on supervised release. not truck drivers protesting against cove at 19 restrictions in canada's capital ottawa, a bracing for police cracked on offices are trying to and nearly 3 weeks of demonstrations arena. several arrests protest as including an organizer of the so called freedom convoy laura burton bagley husband casey. there is a safety concern. confrontations encountered his capital as police to give a new powers to charge truckers who have helped thumb for nearly 3 weeks or trucks. and protesters have shut down the streets outside

parliament in downtown ottawa as well as disrupting businesses. and chris brought a trade with the u. f recording on inalienable rights, a citizen. so we have, you know, the right ranking recently resembling rate of rid of it. canadian truckers calling themselves to freedom convoy had gathered to make a stand against the rule. the requite truck has to be vaccinated to cross the u. f . canadian border. they were later joined by other protesters. many from far right groups. on thursday, police moved in to arrest the leaders, chris, bob, phil here and to mar lynch. prime minister justin to jo has in vote. the emergencies act, which gives powers to declare the blockade, illegal arrest drivers, freeze bank accounts, and suspend licenses. on monday,

as we entered the 3rd week of illegal blockades and occupations, the federal government invoke to the emergencies act. we did it to protect families and small businesses to protect jobs in the economy. we did it because the situation could not be dealt with under any other law in canada. police of secure to parameter around the protests in the downtown cool. they've had these orders to trotters. oh, leave or face charges. it just the fake waiver. though it says here you might leave the area now. in the warning that anyone block in streets or assisting god, there's in the block in the street or committing a criminal offense. and you might be arrested. i'm not afraid to be arrested as much time. it's going to take to get everything straightened out back to work normal. mean if they arrest me and i go back to work eventually,

once it's all sorted out, they don't want to come to the table and talk. i stay here and i'm not working anyway. so see where it goes. the movement has captured the world's attention, but the canadian trackers association says it doesn't represent the majority of drivers who have vaccinated and working hard to ensure trade continues. please now want to end this peacefully, but either with threats, many truckers remain defiant lore, but manly al jazeera, my ged train is an investigative reporter at the c b. c. news organization joining us now from what i could help you with us, sir. judy on the program. the government seems to be living all when it could have actually handled. they said a few days why they dealing with it now. that very interesting question. so hale, i can tell you that there has been demands from the residents who live in the parliamentary district for quick and decisive action that never happened right now

. what we have is a city of ottawa under 3 states of emergency, a federal decoration or emergency, a provincial one, as well as a local one. so police are given broad powers to step in. basically what they are doing is that they are saying that these protesters which are truckers but also there are elements of the far right in them and people. ready who are also just feeling disenfranchised disillusion and also believe in conspiracy theories. what they are saying is that these engine, individuals are not allowed to gather that this is an illegal protest that they are blocking a roadway, which is also a legal and therefore they will be removed by force never given 2 days to move out of their own accord they were warned of imminent arrests and charges. and the core group that you see right now clash with police are the ones who refused to move this site repeated warnings. so hell, quit, just expand on what you just said,

that the debate of course will go on to whether these were walls or what was about on to faxes or not. but was it, as you say, possibly infiltrated by extremists who will, to the challenge the government? i mean, what evidence is said that these individuals were present well, we have a social media post from the core group organizers. and there is a lot of debate as to whether or not they just harboured far, right? believes that perhaps they weren't extreme and that has not come out in any of the evidence. but what we do know is that from their social media post and from the people, the interviews who are part of this moment there is talk not just about being against vaccine mandate or mask mandate or coal big restriction. what you're talking about is that they do not recognize the legitimacy of this government. and they also do not recognize the legitimacy of police. one man i spoke to who has

been here since the beginning. i asked him if he feared arrest since he's had all these morning. and he basically said to me, they cannot arrest us because when the officer stepped onto the ground and he faces me, we are equal him. and i do not recognize his authority. well, that may be the case, but at the end of the day, the prime minister true day has to make a decision for what might be said as good lord order. but they will be many across the country, but perhaps will wonder about whether he is the right man for the job and therefore whether he is the right man to lead the government. this has caused him a great deal of damage, hasn't it? and the optics are terrible, not just for the prime minister, but for the ontario premier, the provincial premier as well as with a local there. this protest is happening doorsteps from the prime minister's office door and just footsteps away from parliament. yeah. so i can tell you that on the

1st week, we are now on the 22 on the 1st weekend that this process happened. there were a crowd of probably 7000 people. what we saw on parliament hill was an affront to what the majority of canadians consider what is the good and right about. 2 our country and, and in front of democracy we actually saw a confederate flag. we saw some nazi symbols. so there has always been this percolating, this extreme element percolating within this protest, which many people say was masking as an antique vaccine mandate protest wanted, in reality, was a movement that had been hijacked by far right. influences what was said to keep close eye on developments in all to us. at the moment judy train from the cbc, thanks so much for joining us. you're welcome. 6 african countries have been chosen to establish their own m r n. a vaccine production sides. the world health

organization says the move aims to ensure africa can make its own bank seems to find coven 19 and other diseases in the future. the parker has more from the meeting in brussels, anger over vaccine inequality between europe and africa. cast a long shadow over this landmark summit from the offset less than 12 percent of africans, a double vaccinated compared to 71 percent of europeans. but it's hope to new agreement announced on friday to ship technology needed to produce ammo and aid jobs in africa. will help we dress the balance to day. i'm delighted to announce the 1st 6 african countries that would receive technology from the have to produce their own m r n a vaccines, egypt, kenya, nigeria, senegal, south africa, and tunisia. dublin joe will work with the companies and the government in each country to develop a roadmap for training and production. the announcements being largely welcomed,

but simmering in the background. an ongoing dispute between a, you and e, you leaders over vaccine, intellectual property rights. many african leaders believe that if you are a piece serious about eradicating covey. 19, or indeed, getting rid of other serious illnesses than powerful pharmaceutical companies should share their research, allowing african scientists to make vaccines from scratch in africa for africans. that's the goal, said the french president, without making any firm commitment to bhaskar ski looks. i think that the objective we should pursue, that intellectual property should never be a barrier to the production and dissemination of vaccines wherever they're needed. that is the objective, the subject, african n e u. leaders have described the summit as a fresh start with the president of senegal. mackey sol urging 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
