perpetual. we've also seen lists of places where people can go to be picked up by bosses. also reports from people who have been speaking to internet, saying that local bus drivers, bus drivers, that usually travel to a, to russia to day being ordered that they are not allowed to go and that they must participate in helping in this evacuation effort. anderson's joins us live now from kevin. that is this increase anticipation that something more could happen all sample. it's in the cob on now, danny, ask what information to help out a sanjay that's right, sir. as night fell. it wasn't long after that mass evacuation you heard from charles. there was an explosion which rock hill city. it was a car bomb right beside the headquarters for the debt sca, the people's republic, the government effectively on this this vehicle appeared to be without any other

vehicles around it. it was blown to pieces, effectively, no word of any casualties. just a suggestion that this vehicle belong to the chief security officer for the republic of de netscape. and furthermore, we're now hearing from the ukranian press office for the military. i saying that the military intelligence is saying that special forces from russia i have laid explosives of a series of places of social infrastructure, internet's so expect to have more false flag operations in that republic. now this is a, this is unusual for military intelligence reports to be made public like that. but evidently, this is a response to the suggestion that this is an attempt to provoke action from,

from ukraine action that ukraine says will not be taken by it. but they are worried that that could well be moved to actually, for russia to perhaps make an offensive to take this. these areas which have been a rebel held since so 2014, so an 8 year war that that followed were also hearing from alexi daniels who is from a national security council. he is saying that ukraine would welcome people from these republics. these break away republics, 2 of them to actually come over to ukraine for housing that to be looked after here. and it, we're also hearing from sources that the vehicles were a queuing and leaving the republic, sir, weren't necessarily all going to russia. people were turkey upon themselves to just get out of the region to flee effectively. so you may well have refugees now. not

only going out of maybe to poland or, or, or other countries, but also over over to ukraine. the main ukraine territory delta dental of also said that he did not see this as a full scale invasion or of the territory they woke, provoke a full scale invasion according to their intelligence. and i'm hearing from a security source that so he says that this, that this military action at this could be a precursor to military action by the russians with, in that region ostensibly to protect russians and to that's under hands. so false thought, false flag warnings. there from the stout stake department in the us as well, and we're hearing now the long range artillery from jeanette's is foreign, overly of the actual them front line into ukraine territory. and some of these shells are capable of traveling up to 11 kilometers or more. thank you very much

that are ongoing is not a cause for concern. the russian president vladimir putin as saying that this is just being used as an excuse and the words that we heard from the bell, russian president about what is happening in the current and tensions that are ongoing was very telling. i think he said that we are on the brink of a conflict that may involve the entire continent. i think this is very significant for him to say this. he believes that there is a movement against the 2 countries that have a very strong and close relationship. this is the 6th visit by alexander lucas, chicago to russia over the past 12 months. and i think it's important to highlight that this relationship is only going to get stronger as the 2 men stated, their desire to increase their economic ties, as well as their military ties, as well as the russian president vladimir putin saying that the 10 day military drills that will come to an end on february 20th, called,

and it is high time to seriously deescalate. i kept romantic editor james base is in munich. yeah, all sorts of leaders around the world are here in munich. the notable absence is russia. so gay lover 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 been said so far. the warning of a catastrophe is invasion from the un secretary general. again, the u. s. secretary of state saying that he's very worried about the imminent prospect of war. let's talk more about this with seth moulton. he is a u. s. congressman who joins us now. you just a short time ago. we're with the u. s. secretary of state and the u. s, vice president. how do 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 2, a full scale russian invasion of a sovereign country in it. 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. said melton us, congressman, thank you very much for joining us here on alger 0. this event, i think completely dominated it's fair to say, and they do discuss lots of things here by the crisis in ukraine. perhaps give you an example. so the iran nuclear deal is at may corporate stage. and yet, yes, there are people talking about it, the israel prime minister is going to be here. the arabian foreign minister, lots of others. but the focus is very much on the situation in ukraine. ah,

in each country to develop a roadmap for training and production. the announcements been largely welcomed, 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 cove 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 j. pasco ski. 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 to subjects african an 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 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 you're paying cash for your coupons to be able to drive africa was a transition, but also looks at each towel. transformation also look at looking at energy and green and also looking at in the environment and also things around our records. so it's a big, big package that energy is going to be the m a big player in the or of this new relationship. i know being a fair, 155 countries, and a combined population of 1300000 people. the african union's long being 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 get out to 0 brussels storm eunice has killed at least 6 people in the u. k. belgium island, the netherlands, england's born much of the bronco is part of the roof of london. so to reno read off the record costs up to 195 kilometers per hour recorded on the countries down the south coast. in other areas, people are working to clear trees of fallen on roads, houses, and power lines or a challenge has more from outside london, joe to rina. it has been an incredibly gusty day earlier on. i was down
