i am i own it, mine. oh, you're good to my nigeria on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah, it's just gone 1300 hours gmc on camel santa maria. welcome to the news. ah, his rallying the troops, but insisting diplomacy can still resolve the ukraine crisis. vladimir putin react south to sanctions from the us and its allies. also, germany and france, turning up the pressure and their accusing portion of trying to reinvent history with his actions in ukraine. also had the people have sedans, da,

for region desperate for food, and now resorting to looting and his argentinian wetlands burn. a un report is wanting extreme wildfires not any hair to stay again multiply and i'm found harmless with sport as life. helena da makes a winning returning action in mexico by world number 3 alexander's that i was kicked out of the common by attacking the empire. stay in a double snap. ah, on the very day his country on is its armed forces, the russian president has again slammed the west for refusing to respond to his demands of the ukraine. but in a recorded message for russia's defense of the fatherland day, that a mere persian also struck a diplomatic turn just hours after being hit with new us and european sanctions.

russia couldn't have sick there at our country, stays open for direct and honest dialogue for the search of diplomatic solutions for the most complex issues. but i repeat russia's interests and our citizens safety are absolute limits. we will continue strengthening and developing our army and navy, increasing their efficiency, providing them with the most advanced equipment, the viewers in easton ukraine, the leader of one of the rebels regions which is now recognized by president putin said he wants to peacefully settle its borders. however, dennis, pushing added, he may need russia's help for that on a care of ukraine's government says it will declare a nation wide state of emergency, as you see, while the military cooling up reservists as well. those are all the latest headlines. he is the team with all the details correspondence in london, berlin, moscow with all the international developments, but we starting over the side in ukraine. first up is what abdul hamid i mentioned this at later from the de next region. what's he been saying?

ah, exactly. with finding written, people should even turn to different show up. the separate is that because in the past they had taken that as soon as they had been great, i knew that they had been pushed back to the area they want to know and that historic vehicle is orchard. they look at. yes, i know the whole region of them. yes. and the region of the guns as their own. so that is gonna be, that probably gives an indication about times to come because ukraine considers those areas a part of the ukraine territory. and it also considers the areas that are now in the hands of the russian back separate is as temporary occupied areas. and when it

uses the word occupies a because ukraine has seen all along that russia was behind the right. it is separate is that it was russian military advisors and russian sort of intelligence elements and may be russian soldiers dressed in civilian clothes that were helping all along. since the very beginning on its side, ukraine is now making its own preparations, as you said, come out for such a pro stream at the moment. there is no presence of any russian troops on our soil before the recent developments international observers were looking for any sign of russian troops and they didn't find any. as for the future presence, that is likely when it's needed. if we are not able to do with our own resources, then we may seek support from the ration with you as we speak, we are mobilizing out troops. if our capabilities are not sufficient, we may retain the russian support. so how do you, let's pick up on what you were saying day of the developments on the ukraine side,

state of emergency and reserves are yes indeed. no, the parliament should be convening this afternoon at the request of the national council that asked parliament basically to ratify a bill that would give a green light for the state of emergency to be imposed nationwide for initial is 30 days renewable to 60 days. that means that it will give region, regional authorities the of the independence just to that, to impose that state of emergency emergency as they see fit according to developments underground. one could imagine that in the regions of the nets and against that would come sooner rather than later. considering that the situation on the front line is every day, more volatile and they are. the shelling is reportedly according to the people living there are becoming more and more intense and certain parts along that

demarkation line. and then there's the cool for the reservists. any men between the age of 8018 to 60, who had already been listed as reserves are now being mobilized. that also comes a bit strange leo say i was discussing with a young man here and he was say, but we haven't had a call for the general mobilization of the army. yet we are having a call for the reserve as i think this very idea be hope be behind that is that the reserve is, are supposedly going to be protecting the towns and cities while the armies would be at the forefront on the combat lines. so every, what you can see is that ukraine trying 1st to secure the towns and cities because as we heard from the a separate as leader, denise butcher, lynn. well, he has territorial ambitions. and the jury, toyota ambitions really involved quite

a good chunk of eastern ukraine, about 2 3rd mores of territory, then what he already holds. ok, thank you for all of that hot up till ha, made his in the, excuse me, the east of ukraine. we're going to head over to another area and keep co are this is andrew simmons, andrew a crucial point. really a point with 3 countries old potentially involved in this conflict. the point with a converge that's right. this is said, keith cur point bought a point and there's nothing simple about it. it may look fairly routine, but no. and the pointer is just, if you look down there beyond the armored car, that white monument is the point where russia, ukraine, and bella, bruce all come together. 3 countries in crisis right now. and satellite imagery that was released or only about 12 hours ago shows developments on both of those countries, russia and bell roofs. there are hundreds of more troops up in an area,

something like 35 to 40 kilometers into, into better roofs. and also a lot of tents for troops or in an area near a narrow, actually in an airport, a military airfield, as it is now. and in russia, a bit further away, something like a t kilometers be, are in that direction. there is set satellite imagery of military field hospital that's been built and also more for reinforcements of troops. so this is activity that's happened in the past few days that there is that exercise going on in belarus. a huge exercise that was extended. it, sir, have been described as an exercise, wouldn't look to any of the troops here, and they'll say no such thing. but a colossal amounts of armory, not far away from here. hundreds of aeroplanes will planes are also asked 400

missile launchers an answer at surface to air missile launches. so pretty, pretty serious. indeed, andrew, i'll ask another question, but i may have to jump in at some point because we're waiting for a news conference in ukrainian prisoner. we just seen them into the room. i'm just wondering, have you managed to speak to any military there, or you get a sense of what the military are thinking and saying around this area? yes, the general impression is that yes, it was right to actually call in reserve. it's 8 between 18 and 60 years of age, but there is a bit of surprise that it isn't a general mobilization, a nation wide. and also this, that was a bit of surprise that diplomacy, that word is still being used. it talks about talks not just with putin but their own president, presence of us that lc and ms. lensky has mentioned on a number of occasions he still holding out some hope for diplomacy,

but talking to other people is very hard here because you have ethnic russians living in the area. and the troops are saying that they want to try and protect everybody. they want to try and calm the situation, but there is fear in this area. you go to the villages, it, you can't even speak to people. they won't even speak to you because they're so scared that they can't be reassured. there's no doubt about it. so you have families that are split lot of the russians, russian, the ethnic russians work in russia. right. to live here. they're worried about that their whole livelihood. so it's a pretty difficult situation. andrew simmons, thank your entries at the crossroads of the conflict. there are on the right hand side of your screen news conference beginning or inclusive with president valencia . get on us now said ugliness. you are our friends. leave the room. you are great friends. dea sheets, presence. dear journalist wisdom, put

suddenly. my dear, don't let just a gentleman to specific moment. this is a very specific moment in odd in our lab corp as presidents. this is very specific moment in history. and so it's a little in a triangle which has been created by the presidents of our countries. and they will, are created a despite the fact how many a years will go from today. together with her again, kenneth's job came to ukraine as a fine over solidarity with our president and friend, valona zalinski, who is a friendly with odd people, with a society wit up also friends to ukraine, who stands amidst as deep crisis and threats and of the

powerful russian aggression decision as them today we are together as a leaders of the little triangle of countries. this is our next meeting in this format. we had a chance in, oh, of december. see, have a virtual meeting done when we were in. we are staying in constant telephone contacts and we up flights at he communicating with the leaders of the concept of the world. and we have, it's a principle that nothing about us without us, nothing about ukraine without ukraine. our today's meeting here in ukraine in key of in the capital ukraine. yet it saw a personal expression of the for the diary to our friends and ukraine in this very difficult a festival for them for themselves. and for us all a time for all of us with ugly sound. here we are,

the presence of neighbors countries who have boarded with russia, who danielle, if it's still true, who is a border, who is a threat to ukraine to day. but russia is of a neighbor and we appeal to russia for com and fees. and i dont vicki, herb and the as well as polish as the russians. they want to live in peace. they want to build that future. they want to be insecurity and will be taken as people civilized and for the 6 of the world, very much like the citizens of our countries. a normal way during this talks, we're absolutely concentrated on ac. is it related to the security of

russian steps in the region? they call for our big concern and every step taken by russia and it's president of houston, every hate speech, every that every his decision said to me as we are following it with great attention. we think that unfortunately, they're not only a threat, so you crane, but the whole region and from the east and flank of nato and the whole of european union. and that's why why we exchange information about steps and initiatives and talks that we're conducting a practically every day on the different level and different of political forums. we are witnessing how the architecture of security in europe is being ruined. and the system was

a guarantor of the piece for the last many years. and they say it's a threat not only for a security, but it's the threat to the unity of the you and nights that we cannot simply avoid that this, this a difference of between the countries could come to the surface and, or aim over of the russian president putin, it's to show the weaknesses of the euro, atlantic community and the european union. all these are countries that, that are symbols of the stability and security. and it's difficult to difficult time. we want to show unity, and we won't see a similar views on the situation. and we have to stop then here, imperial policy of russia. let's remember that it's not, it doesn't. and with her, russian emissions also are ukrainian sovereignty,

but it deals with a new architecture of security in, in the world. we all have to take care of things. and all of this was built up through the years with a lot of efforts in order to secure that secure future and development for the, for the world. we hope that it's not going to lead c a ball. we appeal to vladimir putin to the dental to boys who take decisions in russia. we appeals denija and state, or the stop rose garden of porter from the starting from starting the military operation against ukraine. boston moment. this is a very important moment kid, when just to stop by everybody a is walking the same path. oh yeah, he does in between,

between the piece and future and the development and the war on the other side. we don't know where a with leads europe or maybe a world we take that into consideration of the total ends of the school totally rejects that decision of the of a russian precedent. ah, to recognize that so called, ah lou hans can't anesco peoples of republics. defacto 8 shies rejection by russia. a minsky piece agreement, which russell signed this. the step could not be a treated other than aggressive stat. this decision is a clear, it's a threat to the sovereignty and in total, the integrity of ukraine. poland shakes the solidarity and support for ukraine

and appeal to the russian federation to stop illegal activities which break the international law which rashana we also have full of obliged to conduct itself within the boundaries of the international law. because russia is a member of many international organizations, we've appealed for desk elation and of removal of the military units for sale stationed by the buddha with ukraine. we appealed to a corporation with partners and we also went and will try to protect the ukranian, the integrity of integrity, the russian aggression should meet at the shop of international reaction. that's it

. when it comes to herb, economic and political sanction, sanctions the snow. oh, to lays for creation of c as of influence ukraine deserves. you are a start. a state us over country counted at thought that he, you together with a mr. president. he does not say that we will be acting everything we'll be doing whatever is in our power to achieve that schools rules, public statements of the president of eternal public gets hannah's now said, oh, so the president of ukraine and poland we have heard so far the president of lithuania is next to speak. 3, that president's meeting in kiev. at the moment we'll leave it there. our team will keep monitoring to see what the president says there. but i do want to bring in or and thank you for your time as well as you've waited. oh,

what was your leader was speaking ambassador that they met chris duyka, who is the ukranian ambassador to the united kingdom on skype from london to day ambassador. thank you for your time. what am zalinski just saying? bear. in fact, all the presidents in their joint statement saying they want to see a swift introduction of robust sanctions from the west against russia. that's what they've been saying all this time. can i put it to you that actually sanctions possibly won't stop? president putin, he's already declared recognition of these territories. he's already said the troops can be deployed outside of russia, and there are some who say that the troops already are in those regions. sanctions are slow moving, since his senses are slow moving, but at the same time what the leaders in the world, especially the single su life to work world is try. they're trying to. she is how to bring the russia back to their monotonic and international law without actually fight. this is a civilized way. this is not yet the can. us are still silent. i believe the

sanctions is like in a duct tape. if you're not working, we have to like more of them and russia through feel it and understand we're trying now to reach out to the inner circle. all those people around food, you know, the guards and the confines, which might have you know, to penetrate his ignorance, is not just the normal russian average person. but those ones who see them the same room and, and black thoughts, it's against ukraine. maybe they will be able, maybe they will feel the heat on their feet. they will tell cogent that the decided to stop. and while all of that is happening and all of that behind the scenes work is happening, they could be an invasion. i'm sure you know that is ukraine ready for us. we are prepared in our cells. nobody can be ready for the fully engagement right now. and this attack against us could come, she was, you've been seeing those in the black sea. they're messing now, their ships bringing them all the way from the baltic sea, where we can be attacked from air. and the russians have massive air forces,

which we won't be able to do to bill all of them. and they can come from many borders that have they have a north in belarus, they have even on the western people are getting in mo, louvin is not very good in those republicans does need to have them in south in crimea, and in if which they just ignore as independent states, so you crave around us. we will fight. that's the message we were trying to get over to put him. it's wrong, be walk in the park. the polish president, you may have heard him saying just then using the line. nothing about us without us . in other words, nothing should happen to ukraine without ukraine's our involvement here. is that an, an ongoing concern for you and for your leadership that this is well, it actually risks turning into a russia, u. s. conflict, or a russian nato conflict, or a russia slash the west conflict, and ukraine actually gets, well is the point in the middle. does look loose to woods, rosalind judah was saying, but actually it is a bit different kind of patient we're, we're talking was our partners for quite

a long time. that's what we would not like to have is the big view behind our backs . sampling, some compromise with ukraine is on north ridge and will not say so. we want them to coordinate nicole west the nature, the you, our biggest partners to coordinate with us. what can be done at the moment, what you bring needs, and what would be the best step studeville russians from attacking us and, you know, crushing culturally the architecture of these insecurity which europeans were enjoying plus or such a long after 2nd biggest were world war couple of things i'd like to ask you about ambassador one is the state of emergency. i know it's not been declared yet, but it is coming at some point for one month and it could be extended for another 30 days. beyond that, can you explain to our view as and even to the people of ukraine? what will a state of emergency practically mean for them? it's already been in those just couple of minutes while we're talking with you. this will be the 30 days,

and then it could be extend the for another 30 days in see also the cases there will be a preparedness rather than limitations to the civilian people. we hope that will be used at the moment to bring the alertness of all forces to bring economy up to the tasco submitted to the times. and for example, the car q is not, is not introduced. we hope that all people will be able to have a normal life if you'd life is normal for all this 8 years while being attacked and will last for 2000 people that we are bringing in. the reserves were large, an army. so all this immediate steps already been taken as we speak. so preparing your own forces while hoping that diplomacy will sanctions can, can have some sort of effect. i'm sure you will have heard the president of russia as well thing. he's happy to talk diplomacy as well. how do you take that? do you believe that? no, we buzz this moment when we can believe words and listen words from the heard this

a much history lesson. he wish he was given to all of us. what i took was ukraine out of ever since. she was mentioned that she believed that you don't even have the right to exist and she will fix it. but if he came to you, if the, if the president, russia came to you and said, i want to talk, we have, we have a meeting broke by whoever you have to take that up. surely, absolutely. we will not, stella. so we don't have anybody to break broke for us, the conversation. we've been telling them that we are happy to talk at any given moment was to be, diplomacy can be mailed, we don't have to to fight each other. and if she wants to come with us, key will come all and we will fight that impressed a priest icon is the ukranian ambassador to the united kingdom. mister investor. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. we talked a lot about the president put in there. let's talk to bernard smith about that corresponded in moscow. i. i raised this point with the ambassador there. the idea

vitamin put in the diplomat. he says, even on a day when it's all about honoring the military, he says, hey, i'll still talk yeah, pardon me. vladimir putin said he is ready for still ready for diplomatic solutions . it's the defender of the fatherland day to day in russia and in moscow. the president was laying a wreath outside the term of the unknown soldier outside the kremlin, before that ceremony. excuse me. before that ceremony, he was continuing to turn the screws on you crane. he says that sir, the coming says that diplomatic relations at the level of embassies have been established with those separatist enclaves donuts and lou ganske that russia is recognized as an independent states. they are low, still recognized internationally as ukrainian territory. rushers also says it's

going to start evacuating his diplomatic personnel from ukraine to protect their lives. but despite all of that, and ruddy me a putin's assertion, that he's very pleased with the battle readiness of his troops. he does, yes say he's looking for diplomatic solutions. but those avenues seem to be narrowing by the hour. bernard, any updates or confirmation or otherwise on the presence of russian troops slash peacekeepers as well. move hooton's called on the the, the, the leader of the donates people's republic, said there is currently no presence of any russian troops on their soil. is there anything to suggest that is true or false? well, vladimir putin also has, as not officially said, i am sending troops into ukraine. he's got the permission to do it. and they're all ready there all along the borders of you rushes border with ukraine, but he hasn't. he hasn't said, go into ukraine. that said,

al jazeera is team internet's sore honor. and the early hours of tuesday, in the pre dawn, hours of tuesday, russian armored personnel carriers with russian crews trembling in through don't at the next. they didn't have russian markings on them. but our team there spoke to them and they were russian soldiers. and also reuters separately the news agency. they say they've seen armored personnel carriers again, not carrying russian military markings but clearly belonging to russia. so while there's no official invasion of russian troops into ukraine, if you will, it seems to be some evidence on the ground that the russians are already there and are and active. and of course, we know there's been a huge increase in activity. not only as you, craig and circled by the russians, but basically on the eastern flank, a lot of increase in activity by the russians in the last few days. all right, good stuff with bernard smith at their in moscow. let's widen out further. we've

heard from foreign ministers of germany and france. santa lena bear book and john eve, literally and said, president putin is trying to revise history with the way he's behaving in ukraine. and the warns like the u. s. that sanctions could be stepped up at any time, dominic cane in berlin following this. what else to the foreign minister? say dominic is very interesting listening to the 2 foreign ministers speaking some time ago now. listening to the french foreign minister, mr. little, you know, he said very clearly that the sanctions that have already been agreed upon. we are going to be painful, particularly for those against whom they will be directed. but he also said in this goes, this goes to the theme, this idea of russian diplomacy that you were talking about with bernard earlier, kamala, he said that he couldn't, nobody could know whether president putin could be believed or not. well, if there is room for diplomacy, it seems difficult to imagine how diplomatic such words will be perceived as being

in moscow. and their being said here in germany by the foreign minister of a country whose president had 2 separate phone conversations with president putin us amendment. and i call of course, on sunday, prior to the act of aggression, as is been cited by so many western leaders that took place in ukraine in those areas that bernard was just talking about from the german foreign minister. and alina bell book, we heard variations on the same thing, this idea of sanctions, but also saying that she believed in, in some way, that the danger that perhaps president putin was exposing himself in his country to now is the perception of an advantage in the short some of what they're doing right now from that perspective, but it could potentially back fire against them in the long term in the form of the kind of sanctions that people have been talking about. and remember, tomorrow we know that today the e u is going to sign off on

a 1st round of sanctions against russian banks and particular individuals connected with president hooton's government. and mr. diaz said, quite clearly that there's absolutely the potential for further sanctions to be imposed. so realistically this was an expression of unity from the 2 foreign ministers of the 2 countries in the you have been the most vocal about what's taking place in ukraine right now. and the assertion that they are prepared to do considerably more if the situation were to escalate don't attain with the view from europe there. thank you. and we will widen up further again to the u. k. where the prime minister has been talking about hitting president patient where it hurts financially. it is absolutely vital that off to this 1st barrows, are we work in lock step with friends and allies around the world. and we squeeze him simultaneously. we squeeze him simultaneously in london in paris in new york at

the same time. unity, mister speaker is absolutely vital, ah. on to some other world news now talks in vienna on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, which in iran and world pals have reached a this is a quite sensitive and important point. iran's foreign minister also says western leaders need to take a realistic approach to settle the remaining issues. last moment we have not received any assurances from the u. s. officials. we have been receiving only empty words. they have not taken any tangible measures in order to prove the good will. the total sum of our talks in vienna, we are still very positive and constructive as well. many points are still pending and sri lanka there feeling the squeeze of an economy under severe strain, basic goods, milk, lentils, things like that. they are being rationed and unemployment has risen. now the government's making power cuts as well. more it from natasha name. ah,

push re loggins', panicking to purchase petrol. it may seem like they're watching their economy crash in slow motion. the government is in debt to a number of countries, including china, japan and india. inflation is soaring, and sri lanka, as foreign reserves have dropped. now it's struggling to pay for fuel and this week announced countrywide blackouts to ease pressure on the electric grid. i'll be the better the gain better cannot but we are getting hit from 2 sides. there's a lack of hydropower and oil prices are going up. that's why the petroleum sector and the electricity sector under tremendous pressure below. for several months now, some shelves and shops have been empty. and basic goods like milk are being rationed. i the pandemic hit the livelihoods of thousands of sri lankan working in the tourism industry. the country is so strapped for cash,

the government plans to repay for years of oil debt to iran with t b. i thought only few people don't have enough to eat whatever fuel we can get. how long would it loss? people must understand who is responsible for these issues. they must understand that and at least at the next opportunity at elections, they must use their brains to pick the voc politician for the job. in january the government announced a $1200000000.00 economic relief package that will offer help to government employees, farmers and retirees. there's also talk of an international monetary fund bailout. what's happening now is reminiscent of the economic crisis in the 1970s. and those who experienced that wonder if it could get even worse. natasha named. oh, to 0. coven news. some countries in asia are reporting a record rise in covey cases, infections a doubling in south korea to 170000. but the health ministry says the number of

serious the patients and deaths are low. 7000 south koreans have died of covert related insistence. the start of the pandemic. singapore is also said in your daily record, high of 26000 infections that most have miles or no symptoms. despite 90 percent of the population being vaccinated around $300000.00 singaporeans have tested positive in the past month. now to watch it anywhere or exhausted crews are still trying to get on top of wildfires in the north which have burned more than $800000.00 heck to the farm. and wetland the fires have taken hold in particularly hot dry weather brought about by the la nina weather passing in the pacific. theresa bo reports now from korean. this the wildfires are rapidly moving from one place to another and consuming almost everything in this area in the argent time province of korean. this and fire fighters are also moving fast, trying to burn

a control line that will slow down the advance of the flames. and i said, well, what they are doing is burning a line that will force the parts slow down and then they will attack with water. there's already group working inside, which we have to stop before it reaches the road, because if it passes there, there are thousands of tech to the pine trees and it will get even worse. over $800000.00 heck there's, they have already been destroyed. and with it, livestock, grains, and wildlife. this is an area that generally sees abundant rainfall, but strong wind, lack of humanity, and drought time making it easy for fire like this. when to spread all across the province on an average of around $30000.00 hector's of land are burning every day. also at risk. i 12000 hector's of marshlands in e without. the area is a natural reserve where it came man's amphibians. another 300 species of birds are
