no matter where it takes a thin see again, i am power and passion. we tell your stories, we are your voice, your news, your net out, his ear blue . a separate his lead is in easton ukraine, cool for military mobilization and start evacuating civilians to russia in anticipation because we have reasonably the russian forces are planning to and attend to attack ukraine. in the coming week, the coming days, the years president warns of an imminent attack, his rush propensity, military drills involving massage. ah, i'm glad this is al 0 life. also come with me.

clearing the capital canadian, please break up a truck drivers, protest and arrest dozens of people and they saw major storm hammers, northern europe kelly, at least 9 people. ah, i said we begin in easton, ukraine where moscow back separatist leaders have ordered a full military mobilization. they say civilians in the breaker, a region of don bassett being evacuated to russia as shelly intensifies between separatists and ukrainian government forces. this is the russian elidah vladimir putin prepared to oversee nuclear drills in the coming out, including the use of ballistic and cruise missiles criminal denies. it will further inflame tensions with the west and you, as president, joe biden says that he is convinced that putin has decided to invade ukraine within

days, make no mistake, and fresh pursues his plans. it will be responsible for catastrophic and needless or of choice. united states and our allies are prepared to defend every inch of nato territory from any threat to our collective security as well. we also will not send troops in to fight in ukraine, but we will continue support ukrainian people. a well, the ukranian president vladimir lensky, will travel to germany later on saturday to address the munich security conference that's despite to president biden warning. it may not be wise for him to leave his country. all right, we've got a team of correspondence covering the story. we'll get to mo, a little bit later from the munich security conference with james bass. dosage bar is donny by in moscow. but 1st we're going to start off with charles stratford. and charles, you're in mario, poland, se in ukraine. it gives an update from the well

reports of more heavy sharing last night. nic certainly, according to the ukrainian military, they say what they describe is 66 violations were committed by the separatists. we understand that that is referring mainly to shelling. they say that at least 52 of those incidents were using high cannibal weapons weapons that are actually prohibited under the 2015 in minsk agreement. we also getting reports that in the last few minutes actually been confirmed by the military, that one soldier, one ukrainian soldier, was killed in that shelling. and it's a similar kind of report coming from the dpr, the self declared. and it's people's republic, the separatist saying also that said they were heavily shelled in similar areas to the areas being reported by the ukrainian military. we also heard reports of areas

of in a town called von of aca, which is just north from here. and areas of that town, i'm damage being done to the infrastructure areas without water. now. certainly last night from our hotel, i been covering this conflict now for my own 8 years and it was around, i suppose about 10 to 5 in the morning that what sounded like very heavy shelling. i could hear that last night, i suppose about half an hour, and certainly according to the reports by the military, they're saying that a lot of that shooting was an air is a round about an hour's drive from here. interestingly, in some of the villages that we were reporting from yesterday. so as you can imagine, we will be going into that area later today to try and speak to the people to see exactly what went on last night. and it's also salient to say that yesterday, when we were there, the military that we spoke to were very nervous indeed. and they didn't allow us in

to some of the areas, despite as having the full accreditation, which in theory would allow us to do so. so it could be very interesting later today is to say when we go to that area and see exactly what happened in the day all the while services leaders in easton ukraine, calling for the military mobilization. that is right both to separate his leaders of the self declared than its people's republic and the ranks people's republic. they are saying now that i've signed decrees on a general mobilisation of men to join the separatist fighters. indeed the leader of the l. p. r. in his passage, nick saying, or banning all men from 18 from the age of 1855 from leaving the separatist controlled areas. so yes, another very worrying development there on the back of this announcement yesterday from those leaders of the describe as an evacuation. now it's important to

recognize in the context of these fears, certainly coming from the ukranian government and their west and back is about what they describe as false flag operations, operations that would be fabricated or incidence that would be fabricated. that could give the separatist the rushing back savages, and indeed, possibly they're rushing back as a pretext to attack. and those announcements of that evacuation have to be put within that kind of frame. if you like, now we have spoken to people inside donates this morning. they are confirming that there are indeed buses, for example, that have been laid on for an evacuation. and we have seen pictures that have been put on the internet that have been pulled from the internet that we cannot confirm the authenticity of. but the people that we've spoken to, so yes, there seems to be some program that has been put forward, but they're saying that people are many people are refusing to go. and the feeling is, is that there is an understanding amongst them that they just don't believe that they

will be any kind of further escalation. but so as i say, despite these caveats, despite these fears a potential false flags are being put up by the separatists. the situation here certainly seems to be changing in a very wiring way in the last 48 hours or a child's let 40 reports later. let's go now from area pulled to most of those barriers. standing by and door says, so we have these russian military drills later today in vladimir putin. he's going to be watching from his situation re yes, and he will be joined by the bell. russian presidents, alexander lucas jenko, whom he invited on friday. he is owed by bell russian president is visiting a moscow as these exercises continue. and of course, this is the 6th time in the past 12 months that lucas chicago has come here to see vladimir putin, the exercises we are expecting to be starting in the next few hours. and there will

be one of the biggest, i think that we've seen in recent months, these nuclear exercises usually take place in october every year. but this year they've been moved up to february. and i think it's not a coincidence, even though the kremlin has said that there is no cause for alarm, and there is nothing out of the ordinary for these are exercises to take place. i think it sense a very clear message, and i think it's another example of vladimir putin showing his strength. his countries are not only military, but now nuclear strength capabilities as well. when it comes to what he believes to be a perceived threat from nato. and i the united states in this region, these drills are going to be taking place a with the various different parts of the country's military and aerospace divisions as well as the navy. the fleet from the black sea and the north sea will be taking part intercontinental ballistic missiles, will be tested as well. and i think it's not

a coincidence that this is taking place on the same day that at high ranking u. m. world leaders really are taking part in the munich security conference, and i think it, this is very much vladimir putin trying to take some of that light away from them as well. and of course, there are also a joint military drills taking place in bella bruce, and today is the day that the media has been invited to see those joint drills in belarus. i think it's important that vladimir potent has decided to hold these drills on the same day as those taking place. again, take the attention away from what is taking place there. those drills are due to end on sunday. and what will happen to the military hardware and personnel that are in belarus, remains to be seen the at bell russian president lucas shinkel had said that they will be decided alongside at the russian present in what they will decide to do with those troops and hardware for now, i think all eyes are on these military and nuclear exercises, rather,

there are supposed to take place in the coming hours. are a dose of thanks very much and do those debarber in moscow. well, with all what going on in in the rounds, ukraine, that furious diplomacy go on immunity with security conference taking place joins basis. is there covering that for as a enjoins break? busy day to day. this is, this is comment and an opportune time to say the least bible says we're on the brink. we do wonder what can be done there, where you are to try and calm things them yeah, well certainly there is a lot of activity as you say, really senior figures here in munich having lots and lots of meetings. but the problem with regards to diplomacy is that that is one party that is not represented that this munich security conference, and that is russia. so in terms of actual diplomacy that could lead to a solution to this crisis, that is not going to come out of this meeting in munich. i was speaking short time ago to a very senior nato source who's telling me really everything is negative. there's

not nothing really going on behind the scenes that's very different from what we all know publicly, which is these dire warnings coming now from president biden, coming from intelligence sources, that an invasion is imminent. very, very soon. indeed, the source told me the only thing that is positive for now is the unity that is on display from the nato allies. and clearly that they have differences on some details. but they are very much in public speaking on the same page and a following. i think the warnings and the the lead given by president bite. what about zalinski, the ukranian leader? he was advised by not to attend this conference, but it turns out that he's coming is it they say he's coming. i'm, we have to segment his word, but i,

i won't be certain until his plane is in the air. and in fact, until he's on the ground here in munich, he's scheduled to speak later today, the munich security conference. we don't have an exact time because we don't know is even taken off yet. but i think something like 6 hours from now is when we're gonna see presidents savanski. as you say, the fact he's been advised by some that perhaps it isn't safe to travel at a time when his country's under threat this in many ways. if he does make the speech he has looks likely. it's gonna be a show of defiance to vladimir putin. you can't scare me. i can still leave my country. i can make an important speech to the international community. i think it will be watching his words. what he says at this time, as you know, he's been trying to avoid panic in his country and play down the affairs of invasion in recent weeks. now, the warnings are much more imminent now. president biden says, he believes president putin has made the final decision. are we going to see a different tone for president savanski?

he's got to be one of the key speakers here, but we also got the nato secretary general. we got your kept in commission president, bob got the u. k prime minister, and we've got the u. s. vice president coming up in the next few hours in the public part of the munich security conference behind the scenes. the meetings continue all the time. yeah. they're all lining up to speak. i will be jumping across many of those. james, meantime, thanks a lot. speak to later till head hair on al jazeera, renewing a battle thought have been one why malawi is stepping out, vaccinations, gains, polio, and a former police officer heads to jails and killing of black men. victims family say they feel cheated by the st. ah look forward to pearly to sky's the winter sponsored my cattle ways. you probably know store eunice raised through northern europe is still going actually

this one here started off in all i went across england to the low countries. this is what it did in athens. mostly it brought down trees, caused some damage to roosevelt, and of course, some fatalities as a result of this. it's not finished yet. there are warnings cleared from most places, but still red warnings for that wind damage in poland to day sit tight. so the white line, yes above, that's the strength of the wind. that once that's gone through it will go through fairly quickly, taking the winds to lithuania and snow on the back is wrapped around. we wait the next one to wind up. i mean, saturday still be a fairly wet looking picture with strongest winds in some parts of sudden england and the low countries. once again, the whole thing expands and throws rain south would be a lot more or less disappears in southern europe, some rain, slovenia, north michigan, a few showers. that in the south of spain as well. mostly sunshine is the story. but then you look at sunday and a huge storm systems warning up against the different beast. it center is south of

iceland, it's cold, northwest, the wind, snow shares for ireland for skulking rendering them strong winds again through the low countries through denmark. with snow on the foliage in norway winter is by no means over. oh, the weather sponsored by cataract ways, dictatorships to democracies, activists. the corporations control of the message is crucial oil companies and 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 plate for public opinion or profit. once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. the listening post examined the vested interest behind the content. you can see on al jazeera, ah
