nato foreign ministers, due to mason romania, to discuss the war in ukraine. ah, on sammy say that this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up have a police presence on the streets of bay ging and shanghai off to red protests against china's cove. at 19 policy. un backed report warms the world's largest coal reef, is in danger. and in the cattle world comp, all the teams of played 2 games. the race now on to advanced to the round, the 60 ah, the war in ukraine said to dominate talks when nato fallen that as does meet in romania, in the coming out. the alliance needs to decide exactly how it will help defend it against russian air and ground. the tax will check in with rory challenge in care

of in a minute. andrew simmons is standing by for us in books, forrest, but 1st is this report on how the alliance is making its presence felt near ukraine's borders is building its defenses at a fast rate. here a transformation of its main base is under way us that 16 aircraft have replaced, outdated, former soviet mix only 17 f sixteens for now. that's $32.00 more on the way everything is under pressure. so we were time limited those time we fight to again the seconds. we have a lot of mission runnings, and this is all the missions are focused on giving us more security in the safe environment. we are defined as face and over, over contributing to the need. so security and it's a big it's an important through time. but we are doing what we are prepared to do

everything by every day. he means the coordination with other nato forces policing the asset base and 24 of standby for any incidence. defense of the skies above nato's eastern flank has never been so intense nato faces a colossal challenge. not just in the air on the ground to russia would call this escalation. nato prefers the word deterrence here us and romanian forces on an exercise. recently, these maneuvers came only a week after a stray ukrainian air defense miss isle crossed the border, exploding and poland, killing 2 people. germany has offered patriot missiles systems to defend polish air space. poland wants the systems to be positioned on the ukranian side of the border

while germany doesn't appear to agree, however, increased russian attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure. mean there's a clamoring among some nato states to give ukraine more air defenses with major power outages at a time when sub 0 temperatures are worsening. and humanitarian emergency is becoming more severe by the day president putin is now trying to use a weapon or used the winter as a weapon or war against the ukraine. on this is horrific. the nato foreign ministers meeting is undoubtedly going to hear that additional advanced air defense systems are urgently needed for ukraine, along with more training in their use. lander, simmons is live for us in booker, i. so andrew, what are the nato pharmacy is going to come up with to comfort countries? that might one you're in?

well, certainly that is one issue in terms of priorities for night. so in terms of putting, i couldn't say at ease because they certainly don't feel ease, but to try to play kate's concerns in border countries such as romania and indeed poland, that defense is going to be adequate. the secretary general of nato has been saying categorically that this assistance has never been hire that foreign troops from nato allies all over now. the border areas and equipment is arriving every day to reinforce that whole approach. but the key issue with this nato foreign ministers meeting is how ukraine could be helped with this new crisis if it's facing on top of every other one. and that is these russian attacks on the energy infrastructure of the country, which is having such a massive effect,

making families get stuck in situation without any power, without any eating blackouts all over the country when these attacks take place. so there are a strong argument that the defense is, have to be improved. and for that to happen, a nato allies need to actually breach some of the internal rulings about putting weaponry into the, into the country. putting surface to air missile systems which are defensive systems, but of course they are missiles. so there is a controversy among some states about putting that weaponry in. so that's going to be an area of discussion. furthermore. busy wall practical aid can be given to try and combat these blackouts where good to hear it was seen according to sources. secretary of state, the secretary of state antony blinking, outline a plan. the us has to put millions of dollars if not billions,

into trying to get repairs made to transformers and other substations within ukraine to try and get that power back. that is the humanitarian issue. really, it's not something perhaps nato directly is concerned left, perhaps more inclined to go for the issue of the air defenses. but the u. s. might have many other things up it sleeves in terms of what sort of military aid and what sort of sort of further aid a can give towards trying to make the lives of ukrainians slightly easier over the winter because they're facing a massive challenge. a real, really miserable position with sub 0 temperatures. all right, thanks so much to andrew simmons. let's keep this going though. we got rory challenge. he's life for us in the ukrainian capital now in care of. so rory, andrew, they're talking about what nato can do to help ukraine with its challenge. how does the battle field situation look for that challenge facing ukraine?

i would say there's a very particular feeling in ukraine at the moment. i wouldn't call it fear, i call it anticipation. if you've ever taken a punch. you kind of know the sensation. it's when you've taken a breath in and your tense and you're waiting for that blow to land because ukrainians know it's coming lensky in his sunday address. that was going to be another huge wave of russian air strikes on the countries energy infrastructure. yesterday, that was all sorts of talk on social media about russian war ships with trees, missiles heading out into the black sea, russian strategic bombers being loaded up with cruise missiles ready for the take off spots so far. we haven't had the air raid sirens and the strikes haven't arrived. but i think the feeling is that, you know, they are coming and people just need to make sure that they're as ready as i can

possibly be. so people are going out and then making sure they've got enough candles. they've made sure they've got enough water in the plastic bottles stacked up in the bathroom. they're making sure that they're pow baxa charts. and if they've got generators, those are a full of diesel. and then there's the psychological aspect, we've got a face to be put your brave face on. you've got a smile, you gotta make sure that you're telling yourself and other people. this is being done for the right reasons. you can endure it. it's a freedom and it's for independence. that's the kind of psychological basis that people are living on the here, on our, on a strategic national level will. of course, just remind you about what ukraine once from its western allies. it's very simple and defense to be able to shoot the russian missiles down when they come in. and therefore, and, but if any missiles do yet through which they probably will, then there has to be financial assistance to rebuild, to get the power back up transformers, etc. it's a pretty simple shopping list,

but it's a crucial one. all right, thanks so much for the challenge. mass cove at 19 testing is resumed in the chinese city of shanghai after protest calling for an end to the government. strict endemic policies. infections are increasing despite tens of millions of people being under some form of restrictions. security's also been tightened. demonstrations are rare in china, but of swelled in recent days with people taken to the streets and several major cities. additional police officers have been deployed in beijing after hundreds of people protested on monday. public anger was sparked by cove at 19 locked down some quarantines, but the list of grievances is growing. to include a range of frustrations, some protesters or even calling on president eugene ping to resign. well, i just began serving a storage 3rd term in office and i saw that it doesn't. it says there were some ordinary people are dissatisfied with the lock downs. i think maybe it's

because it was taken to an extreme. i think from those people, the epidemic has become a part of normal life now. so it may be better for us to open up a little later. this is i, i think china and shanghai are now controlling the epidemic quite well. as the weather gets colder, the epidemic will definitely see a resurgence to a certain extent. that's more. i think it will be fine after a while. and katrina, you has more now from beijing. we're seeing chinese police in various cities across the country using coercive tactics and heavy handed surveillance in order to prevent any repeats of the process that we saw on the weekend here in beijing on the following monday morning. and also today on to say there were some reports that some of the protesters were attended that demonstration on sunday by the river here in beijing, they said that they had been individually contacted by police told to come to the police station deliver statements about who they were with and how they came to

know about the protests. some were also detained themselves for a few hours, and all of them received warnings not to attend similar protests in the future. and many of these an individual say they have no idea how they were identified. they certainly did not give their own details to the police who were attending those protests on sunday evening. but we have to remember chinese cities, especially the major chinese cities, a blanketed and high tech, a i driven surveillance camera. so it's easy to imagine that the authorities, if they want to find out who a protest it is, they can find out that information. now a, these protest sites in beijing, in shanghai, in other cities, nudging and room which he, there were also blanketed by a heavy police presence on monday, afternoon and monday evening preventing any, anybody from gathering here and aging i passed by that location myself in slow than loads of police just waiting there, a uniformed and plain clothes, officials and offices just waiting and preventing anybody from gathering. certainly

authorities are on high alert and they're doing whatever they can to send a message and intimidate those who may want to protest again in future. alistair, people have been killed by a shabbat fighters during an attack on a hotel in somalia capital the group laid siege to the villa rose hotel for nearly 24 hours authority say 60 people were rescued when somali forces storm the building. 6 hash about fighters were killed to kill president says these determines create a 30 kilometer deep security, colorado along the southern border with syria. roger ty, about it, the one has threatened to start a ground offensive against kurdish fighters in the region. so it is false, is resumed there strikes in northern syria, the weekend killing at least 5 feet for escalation comes weeks after a bomb attack and stumble, which ankara blames on kurdish fighters who came in this in the learn or to kill

determination to protect our borders. with a 30 kilometer security strip is getting stronger with every instant we experience those who come from thousands of kilometers away for their own safety and well being and cause destruction without discriminating as terrorists or innocence have to respect ticket sensitivities in this matter. which means that nobody should be disturbed by took years military operations aimed at expanding its circle of security and peace. because in the history of this country, there is no colonisation, no brutality, no selfishness. there is no cruelty sam call thought has more from kill us near the turkey or syria border. it's been on the table for a long time, especially after the stumble done. but i can nearly almost every day we are hearing turkish officials, promising and vowing to take revenge of the attack from the y p g, which they accused of perpetrating the attack en again last night we heard

president, our dance operation is still on the table, but apparently, there are some negotiations on their way of conducting a ground offense and it was offensive during this season and did some calculations and assessments. so we are hearing that they are also doing these assessments. but there is an operation against al, both for the sun workers party on the way in northern iraq for the last couple of years. and as far as we know from the military sources, they called operations successful and they expected to be complete. as soon that's why it is also a matter of calculation for the turkish military to deploy a more forces air to northern syria. but they don't want to interrupt operation in northern iraq either or of course, negotiations are also some of the other reasons that we consider is the reason for the operation to begin or it went to begin. now

. that is gonna bring some really wild weather, some of the islands in the mediterranean, such as corsica, sardinia. it moves on to southern parts of italy as well as malta sicily, calabria, and polio, seeing the worst of that rain on wednesday. it'll skirt off very quickly across greece. and once again in to turkey or by the end of the week now behind us, it isn't improving picture of a southern parts of spain, but more rain rolls into portugal for the north of france, clear skies brighter spells coming through the clouds here for north west britain and islands a similar story, we might see some frost and fog here, however, and some rain rolling across into northern areas of scotland and scandinavia. it remains rather wintery up in the north, and we're going to see things cool down further in the east minus 3 in cave by wednesday. ah, to with sponsored by cats are they was a new series, exploring traditional knowledge from indigenous communities can tackle to these

national health commission is announced that they will boost vaccinations, particularly among the elderly in china. that particular vulnerable or group is seen as key to opening up and moving away from the 0 curve at strategy. they say that they're going to be asking elderly people who refuse to get vaccinated, why they refuse to do so. remember, vaccines are mandated in china, so it's difficult to say whether or not this is going to be enough to pressure the elderly population to take jabs. and there are, of course, also question marks about the effectiveness of domestically produced vaccines still . so it's hard to say, you know, just how close this would take china towards opening up and moving away from the 0 can a covert strategy. but, you know, it's also going to mean questions will remain about whether or not this anger is

going to continue simmering in china right now. all right, thanks so much patrick fox, they're more than a 150 demonstrators and police officers have been injured in protest against the construction of a port in the southern indian state of carola. the $23000000000.00 project is being financed by the countries richest man called her my danny protestors say construction of the port will cost them their livelihoods and lead to widespread soil erosion. violence broke out after some people were arrested by police for allegedly blocking construction vehicles. have natal is falling developments from new delhi. how are the protests having any impact on the project? here, the situation in care law remains calm, but tense. right now there is heavy police deployment in and around 1000000000. john, which is the construction side. streets are largely empty and the shops are largely

comedian and actor mas, giovanni has many admirers in the iranian american community. and like many members of that community, in what some have nicknamed to ron jealous, this year's world cup presents a dilemma. i can tell you how i feel. i've always been a fan of football soccer, my whole life a play. this is i was a kid. i was, i was a fan of team leap, but this year it's really different is going to be hard to take any joy in watching it because of the footage we see coming out of iran. iran has seen widespread protests and, and often violent crack down on demonstrators since the death in custody of masa armine arrested for violation of laws regarding how women dress support for the protests is wide spread in the large los angeles. iranian american community with protest slogans, appearing on billboards and shop fronts. the usa, iran match is weighted with significance,

especially given the long history of rank war between the 2 countries. i like to say that islamic republic took americans hostage for $444.00 days. and they took iranians hostage for 43 years. so we're seeing the women of iran, the youth of iran, the brains everyone has had enough. do you think that there's a, a feeling of being torn to, you know, kind of like honor your iranian routes by routing for the team or feeling like that's routing for something else. instead, it's a very bitter sweet time for iran and americans. a lot of iranians are saying it's not a time to watch football or to celebrate anything of the way i see it though, is i feel that this is a chance for a team lead iranian team to shine a spotlight on what's going on with the people of iran, and there's going to be a lot of i on that game when as iran plays the usa job,

ronnie says the world cup match can be a significant moment for iranians everywhere. i hope that there's some form of protest and some form of shining the light on what's going on in iran, amplifying the voices of iranian people. that would bring joy to my heart. and i think it would bring joy to a lot of iranian americans in the diaspora joy mixed with grief and concern with all eyes on a match that is much more than a game. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles, senegal hosts dozens of a lead football academies, and they do produce champions. but the lower of fame and fortune abroad can lead to trafficking often of minus nicholas hoc explains meet center defender use of gate. he's from senegal suburb of refused, and in january, a man from gambia presenting himself as
