4:00 pm
the thing about the house is it's a sort of a marriage, isn't it? the house has its own character. i have my character, the house is really saying, i want to remain like this, but you can do this just a little bit. you can change it a bit, but i still want my personality and you can still have yours. oh, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm adrian fit again. this is that is our life from doha. busy coming up in the next 60 minutes, president vladimir putin says that russia has successfully conducted strategic military drills involving ballistic and cruise missiles, separatist leaders,
4:01 pm
and east of ukraine, called for military mobilization and start to evacuate civilians to russia. i'm advising fears of conflict. ukraine's presidents followed amir zalinski says that his country were respond to provocation is by russia. and we are in saddam star for region this our where 2 years after signing a piece deal as little progress in overcoming security challenges. and i'm he to similar to the sports as new zealand winds. it's 2nd ever winter olympics, cold, middle on the penultimate day of the beijing games. ah, washers president vladimir putin, his overseeing strategic military exercises. it comes at a time of soaring tension between moscow, ukraine and the west. the kremlin says that its warships and submarines have successfully launched hypersonic weapons and cruise missiles during the rules. it
4:02 pm
denies that the war great games will further inflame tension rushing back separatist leaders in eastern ukraine. meanwhile, of ordered a full military mobilization. they say that civilians in the dumbass region being evacuated to russia, a shilling intensifies between separatists and ukrainian government forces. the ukrainian army says that one of its soldiers has been killed ukraine's president. the latter may, zalinski, has travel to germany for the munich security conference. he says that his country doesn't respond to provocations, and called for peace through diplomacy. we have a team of correspondence covering this for us. this are, shall strive for the standing by 1st and se in ukraine will be live in moscow shortly with dawson jibari. but 1st, let's join our diplomatic. it is a james base who's at the munich security conference, where james, the ukraine, russia crisis is front and center of the agenda. yeah, absolutely. there's really, there's lots of other things,
4:03 pm
discuss the meaning security conference. but really, the attention is all on the situation regarding ukraine. we've heard the u. s. vice president in the last couple of hours, the british prime minister. and quite importantly, we're going to present zalinski, who some advised him not to come here, including some in washington, is too big of a threat to come here at this dangerous time for his country. but he is going to be here, perhaps a show of defiance to president putin making a speech which we were watching and taking life as in the next few hours here on out to a 0 right now though, let's speak to one of the other key participants in this meeting, insult him, bug the nato secretary general. second general, thank you for john. you. so now de zera present biden says putin has made up his mind to invade. do you concur with that judgment? and is there anything that you can do anything you can offer anything to avoid war? now, we have a share assessment, a monet dollars,
4:04 pm
arial. so share the same information, the same intelligence. and meaning that we see that there is a very high risk for, ah, russian attack on the ukraine. we see that, that all the forces in place. we see that they're attempting rhetoric. so this is at read an increasing risk at the same time. i also agree with press the button that it's never too late to, to step back from the brain care to stop preparing for war and to start engaging in and in diplomatic talks with nato on a dallas to funded political lessers. now this is quite not usual crisis because the intelligence assessments normally kept to oneself by the those in the know, are being broadcast pretty widely. and many diplomats journalists and others have been briefed on the intelligence. my understanding is that predicting and all out attack a 2 prong prince, are attacked to take kiva full scale invasion, given that and your us basements. how will the ukrainian military fair,
4:05 pm
their credit military is some, much better, but the prepared, better, trained, equipped, are stronger. now and, and, and in 2014, when the, your crane was lost, invaded by. busy russia, but our main message to russia is that they should not invade. of course, they should step back, can the and, and as should know, that if they use force again against ukraine, it will come with a high cost economic sanctions. and of course, if they want less nato at the borders, they get more nate to after borders vehicles. so we will further increase our presence in east on part of the alliance. and if they want to divide the nathan, actually it and getting the opposite, the more unite the next one of the nato allies speaking a short time ago was the u. k. prime minister boris johnson. he talked about the potential, if that was an invasion for a prolonged conflict in your view. what would a war in ukraine look like? it will be our end of the sandra, where it is still so for many,
4:06 pm
many lives on the to have something like this in europe. it's hard to imagine, but we are closer to that, sir. now down we have been any time since then at least since the end of the cold war because she, i never seen such a concentration or troops on forces. unstructured readiness with all. busy the different elements in place, everything from of course the high end the weapon system, so to feel hospitals, so to logistics, to command my control. so rush on launch and attack and with hardly any wanting time on that. this extremely concerning that again, it is possible for russia to change mind and to step back from the ring. we heard from the us, vice president as well, i'm sure you are listening to her speech. she talked about those sanctions that everyone here is talking about. the strongest sanctions yet on russia, but she also talked about and i quote, a further reinforcement of the east and flank, so the u. s. planning to send more forces will other nato allies also be sending
4:07 pm
more force? yes. as a wardrobe scene is that a ne dollars, sir, do not to states, but those are all the noodles have all the increased. and their presence in the eastern part of the alliance of germany, for instance, has increased its suppressants. yet if the invasion we are vandella, then we are ready to further a strength now presence in the east to make sure that there is no room for misunderstanding. no room for miscalculation about natal, strengthen us to protect on the found all. ready nato allies, and that's the best way to prevent an attack on and in a twilight country. ukraine is a highly valued partner. we support them for nato allies. we provide an iron clad security dantas. and as you say, a highly valued palm that you support. if they come under attack, and there is an invasion, there's no question of nato troops going there. i know that's clear. but is there
4:08 pm
anything else you can do at that stage to support the ukrainians in the ukrainian military? if russian tank start coming across the country, late hours have her since 2014 provided her a significant support to ukraine, nato has helped them to more than i said, the defense of security solutions, sir, with cyber capabilities and other means, but also nato allies have provided training equipment that's, that's the reason why the ukraine arm is much stronger now done in 2014. if that has been tack, the most immediate response will be the 3rd. we will make sure that there is no room for me since time about our in is to protect allies with our presses and east and allies also medicare. that will be a severe economic sanctions. i've heard some projections that the humanitarian effect to this with ukrainians having visa, free traveling to the you could be as many as 3 to 5000000 refugees. is nato ready?
4:09 pm
if that takes place? i mean, i know the un in the you are likely to be in the lead, but are you ready to help with that situation? of the potential a refugee crisis migration crisis, every prices we may face as a consequence on attacker. over on the ukraine, just underlines how important it is to prevent that from happening. if it happens, then of course, and they don't allow is the european union. and also nathan is ready to help and assist and the nato response force. so which is the higher on this force we can deploy has also capabilities that can help to deal with a help people on the, on the refugee crisis, they'll be many people watching. this will be worried about how dangerous this moment is. because on one side, you have russia on the other, the us both nuclear powers. what do you say to those that worry this and, and the un secretary general said it in his speech. she said, we're actually in a more complex moment in the cold war. we had structures and back channels and the
4:10 pm
cold war don't exist anymore. how. what do you say to people who are worried about the potential nuclear dimension interface? we have a very serious situation in on their own ukraine. ah, at the same time, in 8th or usa, the strongest aligns the history. so we don't see on the imminent up against natal allied countries, but there's always series that things may come out of control and that's accepted. the reason why we have been so clear on messaging to russia and also why we are continuing to work for more transparent sam, for the addict ability to prevent than a miscalculation, misunderstand install, tim berg, secretary general of nato. thank you very much for joining us today. on al jazeera and i'm sure are extremely busy time for you. more speakers to come, we taking live here this afternoon, adrian including, as i said, president zalinski. i think in some ways the is important speaker today is he still
4:11 pm
going to be asking people to avoid panic in his country or will that be a new tone? now, as, as things seem to deteriorate on the ground out there is to provide to get his, her james base reporting live there from the music security conference, james. and he, thanks and eat. let's go to moscow. then i was there a store such barriers there for us. docile. what's the kremlin saying about these military nuclear drills that president putin as reported to have overseen well, according to officials here from the kremlin, the objective of this exercise called strategic the terence has been completed in full. and we've also heard from the countries defense minister survey short ago, who said that all the missiles hit their intended target. this close, of course, a massive exercise trying to test the country's air defense systems, as well as the a nuclear capable missile systems that this country has. this was an event that is
4:12 pm
usually is scheduled for the month of october in russia for the country's defense systems to be tested. when did the nuclear capable, once specifically. but this year they decided that they will move it up to february . and of course, we saw the commander in chief, that is the country's president vladimir putin, in a what was described as a situation center or overseeing the whole thing as well as giving his go ahead to start the drills. he was joined by alexander lucas shinkel. the president of bell roost, who was invited by putin to oversee this a drills and according to the officials that were in charge of the different aspects of these exercises, all the missiles hit their intended target. and of course, i think the most important point was that these drills took place almost simultaneously to the u. s. vice president taking center stage at the munich security conference. yet again, vladimir putin trying to show his military strength when it comes to this country
4:13 pm
and been seeing as him trying to show the world of rushes, military prowess, of course, and that is really something that he seemed to have achieved. as we saw james mentioning earlier that, that they touched center of topic of conversation at this security conference in munich by the world. leaders was the ongoing tension between russia and ukraine. a wants moscow saying about these reports of evacuation coming in to russia, from a, the a break away parts of, of ukraine. well, according to officials from broadsoft region that is a region of borders, ukraine. and they have said that they have now, as of this morning, declared a state of emergency. they have seen over 30000 people across the border into russia. and as a result, they have now closed the border for people to leave russia and ukraine. that is no
4:14 pm
longer being allowed, they're only taking people that are coming in to russia. and we also heard a, say, officials in that area saying a charlotte landed in a residential area in a village of mexican sky. that is ab, about a kilometer away from the border with ukraine. and this shell apparently landed near a home 300 meters away from a residential home, but nobody was injured. we're also getting reports of a 2nd shell alleging by allegedly, by the, the ukranian army that landed in that area as well. and that also has not injured anyone. and we also know that the russian investigation committee has started at looking into these shells that have landed on russian soil as a result of the ongoing attentions that are taking place. this is, of course, a very serious developments. and i think it's important to point out that there is a lot of skepticism around the narrative about what is taking place in that region
4:15 pm
. since the leaders of the self declared republics have asked people to evacuate as of friday, saying that the situation is becoming more dangerous, so they wanted civilians to leave that area. as a result, they are now coming into russia and officials. they're saying they're trying their best to deal with the influx of people coming in order to restore such murray live in moscow door. somebody thanks. let's pick that up with virtual strive for ben, who's live for us in eastern ukraine, near the border mutual, seeing or hearing any evidence of shelley well, i don't. yeah, we're in a village, one of hundreds of villages along the 420 kilometer frontline, very close to the front line here. certainly. we've been speaking to villages today . they describing the shelling overnights or at least a couple of the villages they respected. so saying it was a heavy shilling they'd experienced or heard since the end of all melendez,
4:16 pm
the official end of hostilities back in 2015 when that failed piece initiative and c sly was signed in mid. what's important and as you can see behind me now also to recognize is there's a lot of military in villages like these in and amongst the civilians and interesting. we had a conversation with a ukrainian soldier in a shop or about half an hour ago. and he was debating with the shop owner and even he is concerned about the civilian population. here he danced the shop owner, whether in fact the local authorities had approached the civilians here for any potential evacuation plan here. nothing on on. on that note, we also asked him personally whether he thought, in fact, that this was just bluster from the russian back separatists from russians. with this increase shelling that we've been talking about, whether frankly was blast or whether he thought there was going to be some sort of move. his answer was very much
4:17 pm
a definitive. yes. he said that the weapons that were being used by the separatists were of a heavier caliber. he also acknowledged that the ukrainian army in this area have also moved in larger amounts of weapons in recent weeks. so there are great concerns about the civilians on this side with respect to the other side where this ongoing evacuation is happening. one of the villages here said that she had friends on the other side that she hadn't seen for years. and she said that these frightens, were being effectively forced to evacuate. they didn't want to leave. they were skit still sketch. well as to whether there was going to be any kind of escalation . we've seen pictures of buses leaving only a separatist side of control heading towards russia. we also know according to our school, she is in don't ask that so all schools in that area. ready have been indefinitely closed. so the situation although calm at the moment and i do say that the people
4:18 pm
in this village for example, described the shelling as being the heaviest in, in years. certainly overnight, the situation is calm her. but there are serious concerns about the civilian population in this area. after such a heavy barrels of shelling in the last 48 hours or so. i was there is char stratford, life in easton ukraine. charles, many facts still come here on the south nigeria, upgrading its irrigation projects for the 1st time in decades. for many farmers aren't happy. we'll tele while we'll take a look at why migrants who risked their lives to reach chile being turned back or expelled. and the russian skater, the center of a doping scandal arrives back in moscow with a small criticism of her coach that's coming up later in sport. ah, we're going to hear the music security conference. another issue that's been
4:19 pm
discussed there are efforts to revive the 2015 iran nuclear deal. delegate say that a deal could be just days away. indirect negotiations between the u. s. duran resumed last week in vienna, after a 10 day break, the u. s. state department says substantial progress has been made and that an agreement is possible if iran shows seriousness out there as ali hash has more now from vienna. there are old reasons for being cautious with these, with this optimism, because this might be also a kind of laying the infrastructure for the blame game, just in case that talks faith. now, what, what's, what's left, what's left is how to make this, the sustainable. we are a, just a witnessing the iranian, and the europeans and the americans talking in different on different occasions just minutes ago, the iranian top negotiator alley walker. he left this building behind me. he was
4:20 pm
sitting there with the europeans here. now with respect to what is a, what are, what are we waiting here for? we're waiting for an announcement. when are they going to announce that they are? i've got to do this is something that might take days. it might take weeks, which is something that is, is left to what the iranians are going to announce in the coming days or what's going to come from america. so this is mainly what everyone is waiting, gets a kind of a wait game. everyone is waiting daughter size to blink 1st. however, there is substantial progress as the united states officials are saying also the euro. iranian foreign minister, yesterday, in the unit, said that there are big decisions to be taken. the iranian side would want to see guarantees, real guarantees for them to get back to the, to the deal. the united states of america wants to see
4:21 pm
a big gap between iran and the a nuclear threat threshold. so this is right now what's being discussed, and as we know the, the devil lies in the, in the, in the details. a suspected suicide bomb blast and malia is reported to have killed, paste 10 people. please say the politicians with the target in the city of appellate when delays in the implementation of a peace deal in that are for region of saddam raising concerns about security and the delivery of aid. it's only 2 years since sedans, governments signed the agreement and years of conflict with armed groups and off for as long as he was here. morgan report style from alpha, russia in north door for conversing. the words of the deal into action is slow and frustrating. will hold the soldiers at the camp in a fashion in north, at r for start the day with the morning assembly there with the armed group justice and equality movement,
4:22 pm
which fought for years against the sudanese government. but they still waiting to start implementing a peace agreement which was reached in 2020 miles another alcohol out there that harker. there has been an order that on groups should move together in points to start the security arrangements of the deal. but we're waiting for logistical supports, such as fuel engine oil spill parts for the car and supplies and other administrative issues to move to the gathering centers. hutton mclean, i'm in the dar for conflict, killed at least 300000 people, and left more than 2000000 displaced. the peace deal allowed for those displays during the fighting to return to their villages and for the region to be developed . it also provided some power to the former rebels. all armed groups that have signed the peace agreement are supposed to be integrated into the national army before the end of the transitional period. currently scheduled for july next year. but more than a year after the deal, very few of the security arrangements have been implemented. and further delays are
4:23 pm
causing security concerns in the state. and in the dar 4 region world food program temporarily halted operations after an attack on its warehouses. the government responded by ordering all armed groups to leave the mean cities. but the people over fashion are still worried about safety level high considered? well, there were robberies, there are killings, the country is not very safe and that makes things hot. rather than pop up of the security situation is terrible. with the killings and robberies. the war has ended, but insecurity remains. the mob north dar for his governor says, getting big deal to work is not proving easy at the handle as, as he murphy iraq does. he has, he has gary yelton, feasel, but for condo, i think the main issue and delaying the implementation is political will, which was absent but is now there. the other issue is the financial issue. those who supported the deal were supposed to assist, especially the part of the security arrangements because it involved the
4:24 pm
disarmament disintegration and rehabilitation of those who won't be part of the armed forces. and that needs funding either the dom meanwhile, and military camps. fight as a way to start the next phase in the agreement. while the security situation in the region remains fragile. he but morgan al jazeera and fashion northstar for sunday is the day it's set by ethiopia to switch on the largest hydro electric power project in africa. electricity from the ground ethiopian renee san stern is due to be generated for the 1st time, neighbours, egypt and sudan have long complained of water shortages and flooding, caused by damming the blue nile river. if you appear since the $5000000000.00 development will power it's economy, agirri has began to upgrade some of its irrigation systems to the fears of food shortages. it's hope that the overhaul of dams and water channels will improve productivity. but many farmers, a skeptical now deserves ahmed address reports not from cono in northern nigeria.
