fired, as in the latest effort to find a diplomatic solution. the french and russian president spoke by phone and lead us all wrapping up discussions or the music security conference. us vice president common harris says it's a critical moment. we're talking about the potential for war in europe. i mean, let's really take a moment to understand the significance of what we're talking about snellville, 70 years. and through the 70 years. as i mentioned yesterday, there has been peace and security. we are talking about the real possibility of war in europe or diplomatic get james bay's will have the latest from the medic security conference. but 1st, let's go to andrew simmons in care of and andrew, let's say, talk more about these joint russian drills between the russians and the bel russians. oh, what more is going on now?

well, victor kaneen, the defense minister of belarus, has announced that sir, because of activities ukrainian military activities on the borders of both russia and beller, roost that these joint exercises that started 10 days ago will be continued our mrs . 830000 involved in this. so 30000 russian troops involved in these exercises. we've been seeing images relentlessly over the past 10 days. and it's to be continued. i. one has to point out here that the one of the original reasons for this as training exercises was set to be right routine by moscow. that's the way they described it. but now there's a specific reference to the military activity on the ukrainian sides of the border expect a denial from ukraine on this. and also there had been indications that these drills would be continued. what more about the,

the shelling that we've been hearing so much about in the southeast of the country will, is a specific reference to the shelling in dawn bass in the southeast of this country, or a specific reference by bell roost. about this as one of the reasons why these monetary drills continue. it has to be said that there is a low in the fighting now, not necessarily an indicator that is going away at this well known that, that, that there are often quite patches in this, but the latest information from the joint forces operation here is that there have been 35 breaches of the cease fire in the past 14 hours. that's a quarter of that maximum of breaches we've been hearing about in, in the past days. however, that has been quite a lot of damage done to villages. and there's a, an absolute fear amongst civilians that their apps, it's terrified about the situation because of the intense barrages that have taken

place over the past 4 days. and there is also a lot of security now. and in a very large security operation going on behind me, because this is the 8th anniversary of the a so called might i am massacres. but total the, my dam demonstrations by the way. one of the luke causes of what's happening now because of the, the events that happened here 8 years ago led to the, to the a whole are crimea annexation. and also the uprising by russian separatists in the southeast of this country, which were talking about now. but coming back to this, sir, lavished ration and the a 104 deaths of civilians in the square and round about 16 security forces members killed in these demonstrations. well. busy it was

a horrendous day. i was there, and i'm looking now at the legacy of what happened. one man in more than a 100, dead in one day, their memorials, among the bricks they used to defend themselves. one son with one aim, now not only to avenge his father's death 8 years ago, but ready to defend his homeland from the might of russia's military. father try help, a lot of me bondo choke points to where snipers were posted. he's an i t engineer and a military reservist and expects to be called up very soon. like so many who died here val, autumn, his father soj didn't look like a revolutionary. he was a school teacher. survey was alive when his fellow protest has rushed him to a makeshift clinic in a hotel reception area. he'd been shot in the back and died later. i know are who

are guilty in this situation and be part of regime unocal rich and foster wall. it's a russian federation, and of course, putting on the morning of february, the 20th 2014, a truce was broken. as police suddenly retreated, then came a barrage of bricks from the protest. hers answered with gunfire. in hindsight, they call it the revolution of dignity on that day, as i witnessed, it was anything but dignified. once again, the square is a battle zone. the truce had seemed tenuous from the outset here. now the frontline has moved everywhere. you look there are casualties. my dan euro, my dan freedom square, the angel monument words name symbols that for many years have made vladimir putin sees. he's fanatical about ukrainians, being part of russia. yet this country now has more than 30 years of independence behind it. it may be a democracy that is imperfect,

but the vast majority of ukraine's people turned their back on soviet autocracy and want to be part of europe with membership of nato for protection. but at what cost, there is conflict in the east of the country with russian back separatists and the annexation of crimea by russia. are you prepared to die for this cause? yes, her andy and her. ah, all asa ukrainian people are ready for this and it's most important. protect our country, our families and ah, for this, we indeed aris and what we, we can more than 14000 lives already lost in conflict. vladimir and many others know only too well. the human costs so far could be dwarfed by all out war. andrew simmons, al jazeera kiff. well as kate, while diplomatic had at james bay's her for more on the munich security conference

. and of course the conference comes to a close on sunday. james, russia wasn't there, but no doubt, president putin would have been listening to every thing that was said by all of the delegations. i wonder, oh, do you think he's got the message? well there was pretty clear message in the conference which actually so we finished and the last 10 minutes or so. and that message was a message of unity in terms of the voices that were heard at this conference. certainly from the western nation. certainly from nato and the european union about the threat facing ukraine, from russia, efforts to try to stop president in crossing the board of sending his tanks across the board into ukraine. and that came from every single western leader they spoke here at this meeting. some question marks i think about what they would actually do if that was that invasion would be the same unity. they've all talked about

sanctions, but what actually will be in those sanctions? they still haven't announced that. and that's because i don't think they've been finalized because there are still some disagreements behind the scenes. also disagreements too, i think on. busy not as a disagreement, the different understandings of how imminent this is. we know what president biden says, he says that the russians and president putin of made that decision. this is happening in within days. you certainly didn't hear that timeframe coming from any of the other speeches that have taken place in munich over the last couple of days. and we all have also reports of a telephone call between president payton and the president macro. from what more you hearing about that? well, i think these a long stitch efforts at diplomacy going on. we also supposed to have a meeting later in the week, which is going to be taking place with the u. s. secretary state and the russian foreign minister, president macro a key player in all of this. he is part of the cycle norman d format,

trying to get those minsk agreements that were done in 2014. try and get both sides to sit down and use those as the basis for diplomacy. not worth telling you though . we just look at recent meetings that have taken place in moscow as the macro was there. so as all of shoots the german chancellor, he's the other western interlocutor of the norman g format. and certainly a president, putin looking more comfortable, i think, in the job and chancellor's company and looking a little disinterested and disengaged when he was meeting with president mackerel. a reminder property is worth having that the normandy format, which is this effort to try and get everyone into a diplomatic solution that be going on for so long now to try and get those me minsk agreements finalized was actually a 1st devised. when all of these leaders, we're in a france in normandy for the d day commemorations in 2014 the 17th anniversary of

the day on the device decisive moments embry the 2nd world war to an end. and if the normandy process ends as many fer, it might now in failure, you're going to see the 1st major incursion, an invasion if president biden's right? since the 2nd world war, 2 things are diplomatic editor in munich. thank you. but he had here all the out there and use our including the hub to wait to get job. no, we don't even have that kind of thinking with just gathering and nigeria electricals will tell you why. tens of thousands of students might not be able to finish the studies on the passenger sounds alive, i bought a greet very the spin on fire the days and finally finland when gold and ice hockey beating the rushing champions. these will have the best of the action on the

final day of a limbic competition. well, the closing ceremony for the winter olympics is underway, organized in china, say the games ran smoothly. the house had the best performance of the winter olympics with a total of 15 metals. but the games well usually defined by the positive doping result of teen, russian figure skater, camilla valley ava. pertaining you join us now line from beijing, get not the perfect choreographed olympics. the hosts would have liked and how will these games be remembered? well, that's true. there are a lot of headlines made and not all of it was about the sporting competition. unfortunately, this was a politically charged event from the beginning with the u. s. and many of its allies announcing diplomatic boy courts before he even started due to concerns

about china's human rights record. now we had in that 1st week the appearance of tiny's tenants play a puncture. why would i see had tom this bark? no, she had made sexual assault allegations against a politician late last year, and then reappeared after being incommunicado for some weeks and then denied those allegations. so there were her appearance raised some eyebrows and that was quite controversial. and then of course, we had this big challenge of the organizes of controlling quarter of the 19 they created an entire closed loop system in order to keep the thousands of foreign participants completely separate from the chinese public. and they said that they were successful at preventing any cases snowballing inside the bubble there, about $450.00 cases identified in beijing. and that'll impact bubbled in the end. and many olympians are the struggle with the strict quarantine or installation conditions and others look quite sad to have to withdraw completely from the

competition because they tested positive for corporate 19. but undoubtedly a big part of this olympic event which will not make organizes happy will be the doping and scandal that made headlines this past week with russian figure skater, camilla valley ava, testing positive for a band substance and still being allowed to go ahead and compete now she competed in a last event on thursday evening and under enormous pressure stumbled a number of times and ended her performance in tears. and it was quite a hot breaking thing to see. it attracted a loss of backlash, lot of criticism from people targeting her entourage, raising questions about their integrity and also how this young athlete was able to compete despite her positive test. and also a lot of criticism for their apparent cold treatments of her only a 15 year old, yet she was received quite coldly after that performance. indeed, a great number of lessons at the i see, i'm sure can take away from these games,

particularly around as you say, this issue of doping. and the frustration also experience by so called clean athletes to nobody's rail women. any of this that's right. it's going to take off the, i'd say, to really scrub clean their own reputation for many athletes competing at this lympics or preparing for the next. this is really undermined the credibility of the i see. people are asking questions. how on earth did a positive test go unseen or missed with so many weeks and lead up to such an elite event? and of course, other figures, cases who participate in that team event who won gold, silver and bronze, that's the russian team. team usa in team japan then going home, sadly, without them medals because they have to wait for the end of this investigation into the valley. a very possible door thing offense. so for many people,

they're questioning the system of the olympics and what needs to be done in order to really go through what exactly happened. and also questions being raised about the support is figure skating really ever. herself was only 15 years old. really had to go through under enormous pressure and people are saying, well, athletes at that age are too young to compete. so that considering raising the age from 15 to 17 or 18 years old, christina, you, in beijing? thank you. the british monarch, queen elizabeth has tested positive for cave in 19. buckingham palace says she's experiencing miles symptoms and will continue her duties. quinlan but recently held a private meeting with a son prince charles days before he tested positive full cove at 19. or we challenge join me now from london, and the all important question is how is the queen while the stay been really strong, buckingham palace is pretty brief. you went through the main points of it that she

has tested positive because of it 19. today, she's experiencing light symptoms and she is going to carry on doing some light duty that windsor castle for the rest of the week. as you might expect with a woman of her wealth and stature, she is going to be getting some pretty good medical cas professor. so he thomas is the head of the medical household and physician to the queen. he's expected to be in charge. let's not forget, this is a 95 year old woman and she hasn't beat in great health recently. she's been take it easy because of some health scares that she went through back in october. she has been in contact with her son, prince charles, recently, 2 days before he tested positive because it 19 as well, but that was about 12 days ago now. so it's unclear at the moment whether that's how she picked up the corona virus. it's been quite

a year and continues to be quite year for the royal family for a range of reasons. this isn't really news that the extended family would have wanted to hear no yo ride. it has been a very, very tumultuous year for her and for the whole whole royal family. it's less than a year since she lost her husband. prince philip. he died in april 2021. then there is all the scandal surrounding her. one of her sons, prince andrew, who is embroiled in the whole, jeffrey epstein, sex and paid affiliate scandal. he has just financially settled with a woman to virginia defray, who accused him of sexually abusing her. he settled for an unknown amount of money at the moment, and prince charles, one of her other sons, and the air to the throne. his charity, the prince's foundation, is currently being investigated by the police for me on claims

of cash owners allegations. so then there's this as well, it's really 30 into a rough one for the queen. thanks so much for a challenge. the force in london. now security forces and sit on her fide, take us during the latest protest condemning the coo in october, demonstrated march and several areas of the capitol car. 2000 have held weekly rally since the military took over the grand ethiopian renee since dom has begun generating electricity for the 1st time in prime minister element and other dignitaries are at the site for the inaugural ceremony. of africa is largest hydro electric power project. if you have us as the $5000000000.00 development will power it's economy. if, if you journalist some, you'll get to true. joyce, now from the capital, addis ababa, obviously, very proud day for many ethiopians. how are they reacting to star to this new

energy production facility? well for the most part you're best really excited. they've waited many, many years generations to see this rather than come to floatation. 1 you know, this is your best one of the biggest. 2 public projects they pod money, resources has been raised by every day the opens and up to $5000000000.00. so it's, there's an excitement, the prime minister talked about previous governments going back to the emperor. hi . let's see who proposed this idea at the beginning to up to his government. and again, people are excited. the radios and the tv, or playing music that celebrates the rain as a way to movie to a nation from an a dependent nation, to a nation. that's a self sufficient that could perhaps even export this electricity to

a neighboring countries without compromising the interest of egypt in the sudan. that's that take from the field and government site. so we'll get to choose united sub a. thank you. let's join the pool. a cooler, he's a spokesman for africa. water of peace joins me now from nairobi via got good talk with us on the program. if you pins also going ahead. despite that sort of reaching a formal agreement with the neighbors over the flow of water along denial. and there are a myriad of other issues that haven't been resolved. is the issue of the dam working ever going to be settled. thank you very much for having me on the, on the, on the, on the program today. and quite honestly, i wish that we could of announcer to whatever, to the specific questions that you asked at, at this point in thailand. for,

for many, many people you, you can almost tempted to, to be tempted to, to throw in there what doesn't say that we are talking about literally what the under the bridge. and i, maybe we should, we should think over how we, how we can move on from my, from here. but, and unfortunately it is not a straight forward. now there should it be as a simplistic as simply saying, let's move on. i mean, i am, i am city dia as a, as, as, as, as a citizen of the african continent and, and, and i don't know which t s i need to cry. because on the other hand, when i hear our, if you're going colleagues, he a sub $4.00 or $4300000000.00 project that is finally taking off after 11 years. a lot of that investment, almost all of it is their own money that expecting not yet electricity, but they're expecting their own personal returns. they bought their own personal bonds, some with their parents, both personal bonds are invested in in personal bonds. so on the one hand i can,

i can imagine the exact meant among the cities as that. finally, they're not only going to have power, but they're also going to maybe begin looking forward to some investment will eventually or day that didn't have been say begin to work. but on the other hand, i jump in that because i understand what you're saying about the domestic issue and the domestic perception. but at the end of the day, this has international regional ramifications for ethiopia and it's neighbors. now the un and also the african union, have taken center stage over several years now trying to mediate between ethiopia and its neighbors in terms of a settlement over the filling of the damn by nile water. but nothing seems to suit all of them. what's going wrong in terms of the negotiations where all the sticking points when it's not just about the amount, of course if, if you just let me finish, it's not just about the, the amount of water that's being put into the dam. it's about the amount of water

that's flowing down toward su, dodd, and egypt as well. and that's the real issue with yes it's, it, it is. and, and i'll let you know what i'm trying to lead to is that if you look, if you look at this on the flip side and you look at what are the consequences that it's, that this is likely to have on our colleagues who are down the stream in boats who done on the egypt, then they don't know where that whether the really need to, whether they're in the, to do deal with that directly to begin seeing these as a long drug process that is going to have serious consequences on their own lives. on their own, their livelihoods, and we, we have, unfortunately, and i want to say we had talking about the african union. we have been given on the civically us to try and have a dialogue of these. but unfortunately, we haven't, we have been unable to resolve a very fundamental issue of existence in regard to the downstream countries and development in regards to at your piano. we should have come to

a compromise about this one by now, because both of these are what a consequences on disc disease. and i think the tendency for as right now is to, is to try and said, let us, let us, let us lea a lead a middle ground. but no, we cannot. how was to la monique solution of these? of saying, let us split the baby down in the middle. it is going to kill both of us and am and, and, and i feel a bit sad that today they did, yes, you presidency and did to without a resolution south africa presidency and did say in terms of the leadership of the african union without, at his allusion, it's york itself right now is facing a much bigger config that he's facing. is it on existence? and yet we still have not found that he's only shown to this is dusty louis out. i still think that we don't have an option. i still think that we still need to sit at said the table, but i think the more that we see, events like credit,

the one that happened today begin to way too much. the more it becomes duma and duma, that we can actually sit as friends and as fil africans and resolve this as a purely african problem. it's good to hear insight, paul accumulates. thanks and for the africa water for peace project to joining us from my very thank you. thank you for a strike by university letters in nigeria is sweating graduation plans for final year students. as an interest reports the academics, a warning, but they'll continue the disruption until the government implemented. an agreement reached 13 years ago, hallways, once bustling with student activity and are quiet. it's only days since public university teachers in nigeria walked off their jobs. but lecture halls are already covered with dust. the government has expressed surprise, but the lecturers are unmoved. they can see the esl phrase equally. i know serious

. i'm sure i'm as your as our nose of rice because we did into a club or by night and said that, well, when i was 513 years ago, educators and the government signed an agreement to and then the panoramic of strikes at nigerian universities. but teachers say this was never implemented. in the past 20 years, there been nearly as many strikes by academic staff in nigeria and universities. then destro dispute has disrupted academic calendars. as a result, students sometimes take 6 to 7 years to complete a 4 year degree program. these students come to the university merely every day hoping for positive news. the hop too, to graduate and her, and to get job. now we don't even have that kind of thinking, but his peers in private universities have no such worries. federal government has almost are 100 university and they have so many challenges head of them in our,

on when you leave for anybody, nobody, naturally you are pork us, most d, b and d with the institution. years of neglect have left public universities over crowded and with poor funding for research and salaries. union leaders say most professors and less than a $1000.00 a month lecture. say they are tired of meetings, an agreement that the government fails to implement the warning one month. they will make the strike indefinite if there is no break through. how many degrees al jazeera cul nigeria. time for the weather his robe with news of another storm heading towards europe. eunice swept through poland more recently, doing some damaged trees, roots, of course. and it almost now blown out, but already we've got another rather more major story, not major in the strength of wins, but in its extent, it's centered south of ice and it's winds. eventually coming is cold, wind, strong, northwest lease, gusting to

a 110 kilometers per hour. so that's been stoved for the mountains of mall for the western scottish highlands and rain for good part of england. and then of course, the low countries, fairly strong. wind is won't be as destructive because the clear up hasn't finished . now to the east of it, the code is still coming up against high ground. so snow for easily sweden and norway, the rain spreading into back into parent before that child to clear up their broken rooms as well. and in fact, this whole system is going to expand through tonight and tomorrow, bringing snow to the western outs. rain to lower levels and to be honest, changing the tenor, the fear of the weather eventually is cold. i will sweep all way down towards greece and the g. and you know what happens and that takes place. first of all, a few showers and quite a strong wind starts to blow with snow for the southern balkans and then a storm starts to spin up in the eastern met you see winter is not over. well, still a had here all the new usa in hope of greener pastures. farmers in indonesia tell

us why they'll never again rely on tourism for stability plus stuff. julian, with phone and good looted artifacts make their way home to believe after more than 100 years and no way finished off of the metal table with a record gold hole in beijing that's coming up with peter in sport. ah, pick, take 2 ships 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 to hear. we care about the environment you do to, you should buy our oil cleared 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 consume on al jazeera. the latest news, as it breaks after the killing of 2 isolator is why the united states over the last 3 years, many at close the war, their fear to go through that as a challenge with detailed coverage opposition to the mine run strong signs against it. like this point are found across the community from around the world. very hard to get a sense of public opinion inside me. i'm up with the military arresting people for their political beliefs. oh, i

like watching uh, there was news on reminder volatile stories. russia has extended its military deployment in valery science and escalation attention. they the ukrainian border around $30000.00 russian soldiers that being carrying sizes in the british mont. queen elizabeth had tested positive the cave at 19 buckingham palace, so she's experiencing miles symptoms. so we'll continue her gc live, but recently held a private meeting with her son for the charles days before he tested positive the code for the closing ceremony for the winter olympics. the way to form it was a winter olympics with a total of 15 metals, but the games are arguably defined by the positive doping result of teen, russian figure skater, camilla valley. now let's pretend to our top story, where kids was as a senior consulting fellow of the russia and duration program at chatham house. he says, russia has the upper hand and western powers. have a limited number of options available to try to tip the scales. at this point. the

message coming from both nato, the e, you, the west, in general, is one of unity. but that's very different from saying what you're actually unified to do now with ukraine not being a native member. there's a limited amount of support directly, and militarily that could be offered to ukraine. and in fact, the u. s. and the u. k. at a very early stage in this crisis, ruled out direct support to ukraine, which is the one thing that might have caused russia to think again, if it is planning to launch an invasion. now, meanwhile, you have the e. u and major western powers, talking about sanctions, but there's been very little specific on how exactly they would respond to a russian escalation. and russia might reasonably think that those sanctions would be so painful for the west itself economically that there's a limited amount that would actually be done. so most of the actual practical measures that the west could take to actually deter russia has already been ruled off the table. let's not forget that this invasion force has been massed on. the ukrainian border has already achieved some of its objectives because he's already

got the conversation going with the united states about limiting the sovereignty and liberating the security choices of the countries neighboring russia about rolling back the glock. so natal protections are taken away from them, and russia can have its way. so to some extent, within it already, as one of our ambassadors put it ahead on points in this game, even before he's actually mounted, that escalation, that seems to be imminent. now the great coast guard is reporting that a passenger has been found alive on board a ferry that's been on fire since friday. several others remained missing. emergency services are still trying to get the blaze under control. the vessel was heading to italy with 288 passengers when the fire broke out between k b has the story. turkish passengers rescued from the euro ferry olympia prepared to leave corfu their boarding boat. it'll take them home to stumble, and the italian coast guard helped us a lot. they brought us to coffee and put us up in

a hotel. the turkish embassy also helped us a lot. we are very grateful to the italians and the turks. luckily we didn't die. that is the most important thing. the race doesn't matter. also what the port is las guaranteed bacchus. he's waiting for news about his missing father. many gall 1000000, i talked to the port authorities and they told me information about the fire. i've been to the other side of car through so i could see the 30. i saw the fire go out on gray smoke appeared, then suddenly the bolt caught fire again. the weight tonight would be bob's and the arrows go by my legs are trembling. the fairy cool fire of the coast of coffee on its way to italy. the relatives of one truck driver on board say they're worried, he may not have had time to escape for hold on. get me over with them yet. he was afraid of current. a virus you had health issues and because he was afraid of catching the virus due to overcrowding on the ferry, he often preferred to sleep in the truck, especially if it was not

a long trip and rescue teams are unable to pull the salary to look for missing people because the temperature is still c. holt, relative fear, the authorities will cool off the search. i mean, the, some of the number legal, mcgonagall women. we spoke with the coast guard a while ago. they're waiting for the effects of the water being used by firefighters. to create cooler conditions so that they can enter their doing what they can and they are concerned with the greek prosecutors of orders and inquiry into the cause of the fire. the captain of the ferry has been questioned and released victoria gate and be al jazeera while jerry's president has been cut off for a 3 day visit. abdulla mcgee, taboo ne has been holding told with cut also me shake to mean been hammered. they'll tani now. the to discuss their relations and the upcoming arab summit by middle has more double. the 2 leaders have discussed 2 main issues. one of them is,

or 2 main points on the agenda. one of them is the bilateral plays between julia katara. the genie president has with him the, a high level delegation of several ministers, including the minister of foreign affairs, the minister of energy, and also the head of san truck. that's probably africa was largest energy company, which is julian. so energy supplies, energy cooperation, has been discussed between the 2 leaders and also other issues, other points related to the ties between those 2 countries. however, the most probably urgent point or most important on the agenda is also the forum that is underway now into ha, that's the goth exporting countries form. and some thought is going to take place on tuesday. we understand the jenny presidency is going to attend a cutout and our julia are 2 of the biggest world produces of natural gas. and they are concerned by what's going on probably in, in europe, the crisis,
