the war in ukraine is set to dominate talks, as nato farmers does meet in romania speaking on tuesday, nato secretary general, yan stolt and berg said, member states and ukraine should be prepared for more attacks. he accuse moscow of using winter as a weapon of war against the ukrainian people. natal. it's here. nathan was vigilant. anita was shredded to defend every inch of allied territory in response to russia's full fledged sher invasion of ukraine. we are racing the redness over troops, and we have doubled the number of nate thought, but groups from 4 to 8, including born here in romania, led by france. well, andrew simmons is standing by frost in bucharest, but 1st his revolt and how the alliance is making his presence felt new crimes borders. romania is building its defenses at a fast rate. here

a transformation of its main air base is underway. u. s. f. 16 aircraft have replaced outdated, former soviet mix only 17 f sixteens for now, but $32.00 more on the way everything is under pressure. so we were time leaving to go the 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. oh, see, we got a different and i mean in a space and over over contributing to the nato security and the it is 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 hour stand by for any incidence descends to the skies above nato's eastern flank has never been

so intense nato faces a colossal challenge. not often. yeah, not on the ground to russia would call this escalation, nato prefers the word deterrents here u. s. and romanian forces on an exercise. recently these maneuvers came only a week after a stray ukrainian air defense missile crossed the border exploding in 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 bother day president putin is now trying to use a weapon. ah, i use 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 youths. and andrew simmons is lie for us in bucharest. so how much consensus is there, andrew of giving ukraine the sort of air defense systems it once more consensus is the word with nato. everyone has to agree and that will not happen. it's be made very clear. many times by store to burg, the secretary general that he is going to actually say continually

that it's individual states that make their decisions about sending arms weapons are to ukraine. there is undoubtedly though, a desperate need to improve the air defenses of ukraine or they've been through so many weapon systems are in the continual battles with aircraft austin, b r i. unfortunately, we lost are linked where 2 and or pets with fine pick it up later. mass cov 19 testing has resumed in the chinese city of shanghai, that's after protest calling for an end to the government. strict pandemic policies . infections are increasing despite tens of millions of people being under some form of restriction. security is also been tightened. demonstrations are rare in china, but of swelled in recent days with people taking to the streets and several major cities. additional police officers are being deployed in beijing after hundreds of

people protested on sunday. the public anger was sparks white cove at 19 locked downs and quarantines. but the list of grievances as grown to include a range of frustrations or some protesters or even calling on president she doing ping to resign. he's just begun serving a historic 3rd term in office. you cannot earn your words while china has been following the dynamic 0 covered policy and has been making adjustments based on the realities on the ground. as we speak, china's following the 9th version of the pandemic protocols under 20 measures. we believe that with the leadership of the c p. c and the supports of the chinese people are fights against cove at 19 will be successful it into the saw that it does. it heard 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 either. i know the law says 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. are katrina, you joins us now live from beijing, saw authorities getting at a grip on these protests. will they have the authorities have done everything they can to avoid a repeat of the protest we saw in several chinese cities on the we can, we had seen a lot of police presence in all of the areas that the protest did take place in the city some coercive tactics being used by the police and all of this was really defended by china's foreign ministry. as we heard during that press conference

earlier, they were saying that the chinese us citizens all have rights protected within the framework of the law. and instead of acknowledging any value in these protests, the chinese foreign ministry spokesman, you went on to really a pivot and point blame at some foreign journalists who have been covering these protests there. in particular that was and mention of the b b. c journalist who had been seen to be assaulted by several chinese police in shanghai on sunday, and they accused the v received playing victim by highlighting, highlighting that incidence. also we've seen that in chinese state media, some commentary of several national bloggers bloggers who have been saying that many of these protests has been fueled by foreign forces. so i think a little bit of effort on the side of the chinese authorities, as well as the state media to de legitimized these protests as well as defend, continually defend china's 0 current policy. what had once been

a point of national pride, it seems, have now become a liability. are we saying i miss? i may, authorities might be stung to think about revising some of the 0 coven policy restrictions? well, we are, we're not seeing any sort of tacit an explicit or a statement that they are going to do. so, but there are the, there are some signs this afternoon. we had a press conference from china's state council. and what we so interestingly were, was an acknowledgment of some of the mistakes made in the implementation of china's 0 carving policy. what they were saying were that they, that there had been a lack of patience, a lack of communication on the ground. also that there had been some excessive heavy handedness by some officials imposing the 0 carving policies, and that some people had arbitrarily or illegally expanded the scope of locked downs. so what the state council,

in essence was saying that there's nothing wrong with our 0 carving policy, per se. what is wrong is the way it's being imposed by people on the ground. and we need to do better to guard against those excessive and heavy handed restrictions. so they didn't say they're going to roll them back, but they're going to keep a closer eye on the way those restrictions are being handled. in many chinese cities, what they did say that every effort must be made to minimize inconvenience calls to the public during these long downs. and some of these lock downs need to be pulled back faster just as fast as they were imposed as well. another thing that was mentioned by a china state council is that there needs to be a big push to vaccinate more elderly people here in china. china has a relatively low rate of vaccination among the elderly compared to certainly to other western countries. i think just over 60 percent of people over the age of 80, vaccinated here in china, as i said, that will be a bigger push in that direction. so nor promises made and certain there was no

statement made that there will be any easing. but i think many a chinese assistance are watching who were watching this press conference. i'll breathing a slight sigh of relief at this, paps could indicate and long term easing of the policy into the future. all right, thanks so much. rob, thanks. katrina you at least 3 palestinians are reported to have been killed by israeli forces in 2 separate incidents in the occupied west bank of palestinian health ministry says dozens of others were also wounded during the raids in dates are mot north of hebron as well as in bates rimmer, northwest of romanella, the un says this year, his own course to be the deadliest in the occupied westbank in 16 years. at least 8 people have been killed by a chabad fight. as during an attack on a hotel, in somali as capital the arm group laid siege to the villa arose hotel for nearly 24 hours 40 say 60 people

meaning magma would be able to reach human population faster if the mountain boiled over. but why is emergency management agency says that would a worst case scenario and one too early to predict. for now, it has open to shelters as a precaution and ward of ash and gases as hawaiians watch worry and wait. heidi joe castro al jazeera the day 10 of the world camp here in cartoon, every team is now played 2 games in the tournament with only 3 certain to advance to the next round. 2 goals from bruno hernandez were enough to send portugal through to the last 16. be think you are why to neil brazil with the other team to get through to that account face. they beat switzerland, one nil to secure that spot. and in today's action,

england and wales face each other for the 1st time at a world cup, while iran and the u. s. are going to come together in a ram matt chop. it will be only the 2nd time the 2 of met at a tournament. the 1st was in $998.00, and the game that's been described as the most politically charged in fee for history. latasha bought the reports from li all. well that clash took place 24 years ago. i am a book is precious photos and memories. iranian born lily, much at jack, remembers the 1998 world cup game in france between iran and the usa as if it were yesterday. yes, here is me. my mom and the friends and iranian friend in leon is just after the match. so we were very happy with our shirts coming freshly from your i your all to do that is friend ahmed for celie was also in the stadium today. he's a wine cellar in the city of leal where the match took place. but her voice quickly

auto. i was so happy to be able to say that we are iranian playing. the americans offered people hope for these 2 countries that were tearing each other apart. costello, missouri, the fees for jordan saw iran in the usa, pitted together, was clearly welcomed by some friends. but he closed a diplomatic headache for organisers. it'd be nearly 2 decades since the ringing revolution ousted the u. s. back shaw and relations between t. ron and washington were hostile. both teams were under pressure and in the spotlights we have to carry 94. we have security right now. we have friday focus for the game and nothing else. iran supreme leader forbade the iranian team to walk up to the americans to shake hands before the game. so a compromise was found. the iranians gave flowers and the 2 sides posed for a photo. during the game, there was a protest not against the us bought against iran's government,

but it didn't disrupt the match which ended in a thick tree full iran. t ron erupted in celebrations, won't be matches, are played here these days, but it was in the stadium in 1998 that iran b u. s. a to one in one of the most politically charged games in world history. city was crazy. amazing. so the game changed, the image of iran and iranian girl, oh, where the painting of her iranian flag on her cheek as she was kissing her and the re, can support her. you know, and i mean, it was really, really fun. iranian usa meet once again in the castle, world carp, political tensions remain high between the 2 countries and tay, ron's crackdown of anti government protests. mean that ahmad and lily, se they'll watch the game, but with mixed feelings. more than 20 years after experiencing the excitement of

iran's 1st ever woke up when natasha butler, al jazeera leon, the tensions between iran and the u. s. of affected countries across the region, none more so than iraq. alhashan explains why, from bank that who will iraqis support in the world cup match between the us and iran? there's no single onset without question. what does no doubt their country is involved in a game of geopolitical football? iraq has been a field of competition between the 2 countries for decades, that competition as often being that the one. the animosity began with islamic revolution in 1979, although the 2 sides eventually found the common enemy said on the same. but when the long time iraq elidah was toppled in 2003 tactics to after different lab, so some there was some in direct quote ration i think between your own and the u. s

. f. or anyone iraq floor new constitution for new political system. while your i'm back minutes in room. so i fact you as an iraq while pushing forward the political allies to take he positions in the iraqi government. this allowed iran to secure a leverage that it never thought all you would except on the rules. what different with the rise of i so with the 2 sides finding a common enemy, once again that i'm already model like that tensions remain. there was still the common interest in getting rid of isis after all, wasn't till 2019 that isis was finally defeated. ah, but there were also tensions between the u. s. in iran over developments in syria that played out in terms of iraq as well. the iran euclidian signed in 2015. so thinks quite down what not for long. it was a time for americans to understand that these type po,

at uranium support. ready for iraq, for security ability, as you would, it would be really useful. i was shocked when the u. s. assassinated had stopped general crossing for the money. i bought him from national and that was an unexpected scenario. and a crisis that were thought to be under control since trump existed, that nuclear here in 2018, it absolutely caused a big downturn in, in u. s. and iranian relations, particularly in iraq, iraq husband arena, where iran and the u. s. have played out the rivalry what many here just want to iraq to be able to play? it's gay. the ash images 0 like that. all right, let's crossover down to alexey o'brien, she is that so kwok, if and plenty of political undercurrents today or the football event, right?

absolutely. lots of rivalry is going to be playing out on the pitch later on with st. english and welsh fans meeting each other, but it's saying things and chance back and forth. i also had a big go iran child just behind us just earlier. but i actually, i'm joined now by to us. fans have got jape and andrew who come over from the states for a bunch of matches guys, what is your pick for the match tonight? to 0 you us to 0 us why? nobody has got it. we've been dominant in the game. we've held lots of possession and the goals are going to come. what do you think about the politics that is going on around the match between you guys tonight? i mean it's impossible to ignore but we're here for the football. so that's what we're going to see. i, i agree. i mean there's a lot we all read about it. what's so amazing about the world cup is, regardless of all the politics, like you have to countries everyone's friendly,

a club for him to join into by use. if not, his dreams had come true and was told he just needed to pay the man $3500.00. that's a small fortune for his family. so they sold their car and borrowed money for the trip. but there was no club to host him. he ended up in prison for months, accused of overstaying his visa and was then deported back home. i don't understand shit the lunch. i am so disappointed to spend 3 and a half $1000.00 and go to de boy only to return empty handed. it's just so difficult to live with this and start all over again. no, being gay is not alone to have been duped. according to a recent report from the university of nottingham, in the u. k, at least 15000 young men were traffic from west africa to europe in the middle east in 2021. with a promise that play professional football most were minors. generation food is a football academy where the setting li star side, your money was spotted here. they work with professional clubs abroad. now the 2
