4:05 am
this one have sprung up and witnesses have reported seeing reza tanks in the area now the west is condemning russia's buildup and reiterating suppose the ukraine. united states stands firmly behind the sovereignty of turkey for turkey of ukraine . for a time when we're seeing unfortunately. russia taking a very provocative act i want to tell you we're now seeing the largest concentration of russian forces on ukraine's border since 24 team. that was when fighting between production separatists and ukrainian troops the 1st erupted in ukraine's east more than 14000 people have since died in that conflict which has yet to be resolved. in response to russia's latest knaves nato secretary general yen stultified said the military alliance
4:06 am
would stand by ukraine. we also increased presence in the black sea region in the black sea with more and they will present some more ships and more pork to visits and we are constantly looking into how we can continue to step up and provide more practical support to to ukraine to help them defend themselves he craves foreign minister said the offer of help was urgently needed as we meet measures which will deter you can russia and which will contain its aggressive intentions. these could be as the secretary general mentioned. a new round of sanctions which would trace the price of russian aggression. later on she's day must go hit back saying it's appointments with you tonight his actions. in response to the alliance's military activities that threaten russia we took
4:07 am
appropriate measures with musk are sending more troops and equipment to its western boat is ukraine and its allies that will set pushing for a diplomatic solution that accusations of blame on both sides looks set to continue . but we have complete coverage tonight to break down all of today's developments i'm joined tonight by our correspondent teri schultz in brussels terry has covered dado for some 20 years and from washington d.c. bradley bowman he joins is brad is with the foundation for the defense of democracies he's also a former apache helicopter pilots both of you welcome good to see you will get to russia in just a moment but we have developments concerning afghanistan tonight u.s. president biden will reportedly announce a total withdrawal of u.s. troops from afghanistan this coming september 11th the 20th anniversary of the $911.00 terror attacks in the u.s. terry this broke just a couple of hours ago has there been any reaction from nato. there hasn't yet been
4:08 am
a formal reaction from nato brant because it did break quite late in the day after after business hours here in brussels and as you mentioned president biden hasn't actually made the announcement yet we do know that he's going to do that there's been a background call with senior officials and i can also tell you from sources that secretary blinken briefed nato allies today about the decision so we definitely know it's forthcoming but you know there hasn't you know been the meeting of nato foreign and defense ministers that's going to happen tomorrow and they definitely don't want to get ahead of president biden on this but i can tell you brant that some countries will actually feel relieved even if they know that their missions in afghanistan are not completed the taliban controls more than half the country countries are ready to come home along with the united states after 20 years red what does this tell you when announcement by september 11th means troops could begin leaving any idea when. no thanks we have
4:09 am
to join you it's i think it's a response hold dangerous and sad decision frankly and the choice of $911.00 of all days to to set the deadline on is tragic and ironic you know the u.s. and our allies face a persistent threat in that region and i believe a timeline based withdrawal that ignores conditions on the ground which is exactly what this is a risk of course you know is to come back later at or get a higher and steeper cost and i think it's deeply foolish in their response for him not unlike the decision we saw the bonus tradition make in iraq in 2011 i wish we had learned the lesson that in a fight better now when you pick up on that one what does this announcement what will this announcement mean then for the pentagon and the defense community in washington. well i think i mean 1st of all if the you know if the u.s. withdraws its 250-3500 troops from afghanistan is still some magine or are our
4:10 am
partners stained so you could see it complete and the international presence there which of course is the taliban's goal in the taliban believes that they can defeat the out can government so we're about to test that hypothesis and it's a scary proposition and you know this is this is a political decision making at its worst in the national security domain and one that i fear and say with a high degree of confidence going to come to regret yeah well that's quite a sobering assessment there let's go back then to what we saw here in europe today terry the news u.s. troops will not be withdrawn from germany that was no big surprise was it it wasn't really a big surprise they were nonetheless very welcome words the real surprise have been when president trump announced this without any consultations with nato or with the german government or with the allied countries to which he said he was sending the 12000 troops from germany so i reported on this afterwards brant including on your
4:11 am
show but made a lot of calls to to my sources at nato and none of them ever received a follow up call from the pentagon or from shape the military headquarters so it was a pretty open secret that nobody was going to move on this announcement by president trump but nonetheless the german government is going to be happy to hear this as well nato and read these additional u.s. troops that are coming to germany we understand they'll be responsible for cyber security in cyber warfare regarding russia is that russia's biggest weapon in cyberspace and not the troops that it's a massing along the ukrainian border. you know the present and future of war there are is that the main air sea land cyber space and space and so i think we it's important for us as democracy psystar understanding that in any conflict with russia or china it's not going to be any one domain that's going to hold them at the same time that's why you have to look at what russia is doing mentioning
4:12 am
a friend militarizing space as we speak developing anti-satellite weapons what they're doing the arctic what russia is doing in the arctic what they're going in the cyber demain this is just the beginning and i had to deal with these threats are going to be more active as a trancelike community if we have hard power to make clear to putin that he cannot achieve his political just as military force and then we'll come back to the diplomatic table but he's not impressed with diplomatic communiques so impressed with our power we've learned anything about what we know and so so that's an essential terry ukraine's foreign minister both his u.s. counterpart and to the blinken and nato ambassadors what are they looking at to deter russia. that's a bit of a problem because nothing does seem to be deterring russia and that is really nato is main strategy it it really does not intend to go to war in ukraine so that's not
4:13 am
even something that ukraine can expect what ukraine is asking from nato allies and from individual governments is more military equipment lethal aid like the united states has given to ukraine it wants more training for its forces it wants more political support it wants to continue holding meetings that we've seen at nato and headquarters with ukrainian leaders showing that europe and nato stands with ukraine that doesn't mean going to war and nato is desperately hoping that deterrence works that russia doesn't push this into a real escalation of open conflict in theory ukraine would like most to become a member of nato right. yeah that hasn't always been the case that the public appetite for joining nato has gone up and down but this government president selenski has openly asked nato to rush ukrainian membership that causes nato a lot of problems you know if if ukraine were to become a member of nato article 5 would cover it that means that nato would have to go to
4:14 am
war with part of ukraine occupied and that's why i don't think we're really going to see nato bringing ukraine into the fold that quickly it's also got some reforms to get under way but it nonetheless will stand by ukraine and show that it has as much political and military military support as allies can muster for now. the military me and you know russia when you hear russia saying that it would not accept ukrainian they do would it be going to forward with the west be penetrating too much into the russian sphere of influence if ukraine would become a member of nato. no i won't question but it is a little bit in that not directed at you but it's a little the emblematic of kind of the philosophy a lot of nato members and countries bring we're constantly looking for the problem with us couldn't just be that putin's a bully i mean my to just be i mean if the distinguished i correspond to said earlier the russian might go to war in ukraine where they've already done they
4:15 am
invaded crimea and illegally annexed it they used hybrid and gray zone worker to do that and they're using proxy warfare as we speak in douma so this is not a hypothetical it's already happened you know so you know the obama's original ring gets hands of do we provide legal systems ukraine so they can defend themselves well they didn't and provided blankets and meals and we see how that worked out and so you know who does not want ukraine to be a member of nato he doesn't want georgia to be a member of nato so you think occupying them he can prevent that but let's be clear over time a sometime 1000 century spheres of influence and as the secretary general said you know we believe in a world where countries can choose who they associate themselves with food once a veto over the decisions ukraine and that's not a role i want to live well let me argue the final question here brad then do you see you know moving forward do you see is it more likely that there's going to be a military conflict with russia over ukraine i mean is russia finished claiming
4:16 am
territory. i think putin is going to use the doctor in the van that he's going to push as far as he can go until he hits something hard and that hard thing is nato it's a politically serious politically unified militarily capable and ready alliance for position both in the baltics in the black sea region makes clear that he cannot achieve his political objectives with military bullying and aggression all right for the bellman with the foundation for the defense of democracies and our very own correspondent gary schultz in brussels to both of you thank you excellent analysis tonight. one week after european regulators said. another vaccine is being question today u.s. regulators recommended suspending use of the johnson and johnson vaccine the reason possible blood clotting side effects today johnson and johnson said it is delaying
4:17 am
the. hearing your. more than 6800000 doses have already gone into arms in the u.s. but now regulators have recommended a pause in using the johnson and johnson vaccine while they review reports of unusual blood clots. when we saw this pattern and we're aware of that treatment needed to be individualized for this condition it was important for us to get the word out that the damage is quite severe and cases are increasing in a lot of places and back to the nation's credit so we want to make sure that we make recommendations quickly scientists believe the vaccine could trigger another universe sponson a tiny percentage of people who receive us leading to life threatening clots they say it's important to alert health care providers to the threat so they can treat
4:18 am
the affected patients appropriately similar symptoms have been connected to the astra zeneca vaccine so researchers suspect it's linked to the a done a viral platform used to develop both inoculation. by antec pfizer use them r.n.a. a different technology which is not suspected to have triggered anywhere classing so far. the johnson and johnson vaccine was approved for use in the european union in march but deliveries have been delayed because of production issues and notices have yet been administered. the company says it will now hold off on the rollout of the fox and europe it's another setback for vaccination campaigns across the continent which are already struggling with limited supplies many countries are relying on the johnson and johnson jobs to meet their vaccination targets over the coming months. but now to another problem that
4:19 am
the biden ministration is facing these surge of migrants on the us is southern border with mexico the white house says it has reached an agreement with mexico 'd and tourists and while the mala to deploy more troops along their borders washington says that should make it harder for migrants to continue their journey northward the number of new arrivals has gone up sharply since president biden ended many trump era policies much of the focus now is on the plight of children. it's almost the end of an often perilous journey many on board that stinney crossing the rio grande are children. 12 year old scott has just stepped on u.s. soil. he made the trip alone from guatemala. he always did when i came here because we didn't have anything to eat. every night
4:20 am
a steady stream of migrants arrives. but once they're in the united states they're registered by u.s. customs and border patrol agents. but they often end up in a crowded shelters that unaccompanied children remain there until they're reunited with relatives already in the u.s. or until they're placed in homes in march around $170000.00 migrants of all ages were picked up by border patrol agents along the us mexico border we've seen the number of unaccompanied children start going up since last year when hurricanes hit central america when the cold in 1000 pandemic caused extended walk down and when more people felt that the only options they had to put their child in a place where they weren't going to star or struggle or die as a result of violence was to send their children with the united states but for some local officials there's a feeling of frustration immigration policy has been broken for years i don't blame his people for coming here but the need to be given
4:21 am
a pathway on how to do it right. there are deep divisions in the u.s. over had to deal with the arrival of these migrants on the southern border under president joe biden that pandemic health order means that most adults and families aren't allowed remain in the u.s. but the administration has allowed unaccompanied children to enter the united states while their visa applications are processed but despite the uncertainty there's a steady stream of people desperate to escape poverty and violence by crossing the rio grande. well for more now i'm joined by christopher boy and from the un's refugee agency the u.n.h.c.r. christopher is good to have you on the program you know we have not seen numbers of unaccompanied children at the u.s. mexican border like this before march we saw a record high how would you say how is the u.s. handling the situation. well it's true there are a great deal of people on the move in this region and frankly around the world at this time for a lot of different reasons it's what we would call
4:22 am
a mixed flow and that does include a number of unaccompanied children we saw unusually high numbers that the u.s. government reported for the month of april and so that's true that these are these are people that are moving for a variety of reasons but my organization the un refugee agency is focused primarily and specifically on individuals who are fleeing life threatening violence and persecution and it is our view and it is a view that is in trying to the international and domestic legislation of a number of countries that any human being that is doing violence and life threatening persecution must be able to access safe ground and asylum procedures without obstruction what is that how you see then all of these children i think there was what 19000 in march i mean are they do they are classified as refugees. well that remains to be determined i think that as you mentioned these are children and we're talking about children that are unaccompanied no parents no family
4:23 am
members by themselves on the move in a foreign land and that presents in a sense of very special case i have never met a human being who would not acknowledge that he child by himself or herself in a foreign country doesn't require immediate compassionate care and so that's what we're seeing happening now the u.s. government has is deploying all kinds of reception capacity that didn't exist before in order to address this situation and find solutions for these children who are by themselves that are that are compassionate that are humane and that are just we been asked by viewers many times since this crisis began are there parallels anywhere else in the world where you're seeing just waves and waves of unaccompanied children trying to cross a border well sadly there are parallels in many parts of the world in fact there are there are places in the world where there are movements and much larger scale movements that we're seeing in this region of of people of men and women fathers
4:24 am
mothers children entire families who are literally running for their lives and crossing borders and sadly that doesn't include a lot of unaccompanied children who are either separated from their parents who are sent by their parents the parents who can't make it themselves who want to give their children a chance at surviving and rebuilding their lives somewhere in safety so it's a phenomenon that we see in many parts of the world yes but what do you make of u.s. president biden reaching this agreement with mexico honduras and guatemala to put more troops on their borders do you think this is what is needed to prevent traffickers and smugglers taking advantage of of people unaccompanied children for example. well frankly i'm not an expert on the efficiency of border security deployments in stopping smugglers what i can tell you is that as i said before any human being that is running for his or her life to escape violence and persecution
4:25 am
must have access to safe ground and to asylum procedures now unfortunately what we're seeing in this part of the world and in many parts of the world are people that are in desperate circumstances for like i said a variety of reasons are turning to smugglers and are taking very perilous dangerous journeys to escape the circumstances that they're in and so solutions that make it possible for these people to get to safety without having to turn to criminals and smugglers are is only something that my organization would support and what would you like to see happen tomorrow in an ideal world. well i think i think we're moving towards an ideal world i hope that we are i think one of the things that has been mentioned both in your reporting and in a lot of reporting around the world is that pressing need for all countries now to focus on the underlying drivers what we call the root causes of this force displacement and really begin to address those root causes in
4:26 am
a serious way this means getting all of the people and actors involved that's governments that's national governments that's multilateral institutions that's the private sector that's bringing everybody into the room to address these phenomena together in ways that are perfectly manageable and that will result in humane solutions and prospects for people that are currently being forcibly uprooted prospects for them to stay where they are that will prevent them having to flee from their own homes in the 1st place christopher boy and with the u.n.h.c.r. christopher we appreciate your time and your insights tonight very important thank you thank you. and finally tonight's muslims around the world are marking the start of their holy month of ramadan. * and chirpy the call to prayer ring out from is stand boards are use of the mosque
4:27 am
but the gatherings around the world are being scaled back for a 2nd year in a row because of the pandemic at the grand mosque in mecca a limited number of worshippers are being allowed inside and only people who have been vaccinated or recently recovered from the coronavirus are being allowed to perform the pilgrimage in mecca during ramadan. well the days almost jump of the conversation it continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the news or you can follow me off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see that after.
4:28 am
the you define the. bangladesh have. stopped there now. they're growing in haiti. it's been a regional tradition but is telling it as a model for the entire country. listening idea. 3000. next w. . this beachgoer doesn't leave incomes
4:29 am
behind because there's enough class to combine all round into town 10 income enough to. risk fica links this is a make or break year and educating. kids to see the bigger picture they will think that they kill where they live. for. in 60 minutes w. . in many countries education is still a privilege poverty is one of the main cause it some young children work in mind jobs instead of going to class others can attend classes coming to the finish looking. millions of children all over the world who can't go to school.
4:30 am
when asked why. because education makes the world more just. make up your own mind. w. made for minds. welcome to global streets thousands. underwater bangladesh's. farmers are having to adapt to climate change. sustainable life stop farming can new methods save mexico's cloud forests. but 1st we find out how faith can conquer violence the former gangsters finding god in brazil.
4:31 am
the average number of people to be murdered worldwide every year is 6 per $100000.00 citizens that figure is 5 times higher in brazil last year an average of $114.00 people were murdered there every day that's $41635.00 over the year of all countries not at war brazil is one of the most dangerous the country's favelas of particular hotspots when it comes to violent crime much of it gang led the military and police regularly move in on the areas and shootings a commonplace yet many young men see joining a gang as their only chance of a future and leaving is notoriously difficult. this evangelical preacher was once a boss of a drugs gang. he seeks to make amends for his sins and wants to give others hope. when he speaks gangsters listen.
4:32 am
or can't forget the sound of the kalashnikovs. he lives in rio de janeiro but nowhere near the beach. his wife always prays for his safe return whenever dimitri on march eans sets off to preach in a dangerous neighborhood come on he himself grew up in the slums and ended up making lots of money through crime. unfortunately i did bob things. kill people. that's why today my mission is to convert drug addicts and criminals. will be going to. let you know. he's on his way to a prayer meeting it'll be the 1st time he attends one since the pandemic hits.
4:33 am
while gangsters patrol the streets with automatic weapons dimitri on march eans prepares to deliver a sermon. evangelical christianity is booming among the poor in rio this is one of the many churches in the favelas. to. the end of it if you go astray you usually have 3 options get killed go to jail or end up in a wheelchair that's my message to you and you're. the church's pastor is get the service going extatic practices are typical of this brand of christianity there are a lot of young people in the congregation. that. dimitri oh asks anyone to come forward who has a friend or relative in a drugs gang. i don't feel soon half the gathering is standing in front of
4:34 am
him that's when he starts talking about his time as a gangster he can do they are. here what kind of life to the lead i had money and power but i had to hide every night because i couldn't trust anybody. not even my friends he. later back at his home he told us he never got a good night's sleep as a gangster but he had had high expectations when he joined up as a poor boy from the slums he saw it as a chance to be somebody. let me see why was that dog we should i started to take drugs and got in with a bunch of criminals and we would attack other guys. i rose up through the ranks to become boss in the complex.
4:35 am
he reached his criminal zenith in the late 1980 s. and early ninety's a wild time with lots of partying and lots of drugs. dimitri omar chines oversaw 25 drug dealing venues as the right hand man of a major drug. fights with rivals were bad enough but attacks by the military police were even worse a hit team caught him by surprise one morning. i was walking down a steep when i noticed i'd walked into a trap they started to shoot. but i don't know i fell i was in shock he stopped bodyguards run off. since then dimitri has been paralyzed from the waist down nowadays he spends his
4:36 am
days going around the favelas preaching and trying to get gangsters to reform. the story is well known a bad man who found god in the path of virtue many people here find it moving. that. he often talks to the dealers hanging out on street corners here. they seem to accept him and they pray together. even those who carry a hand grenade with them just in case. maybe the government needs to create opportunities for the kids here so they don't just make the obvious choice to become dealers or lose their freedom or even their lives what about. those who choose to go clean and renounce crime are relatively few in number. wagner jody is one of them he got his 1st revolver when he was just 15. so
4:37 am
i come up by page it's following the model of my career went well i was soon one of the bosses and had loads of cash and then in a shootout i was grazed by a bullish couple as if it's going to get out the way this shit. nowadays he's deputy head of the local residents' association he helps people fill out forms and deal with the authorities. think it all know me beneath the ceiling mad so all i have left from my former life are bad memories and scars i sleep much more peacefully than i did back then. that doesn't put them inside little me by. he's devoted himself to improving conditions in the neighborhood digging drainage ditches and clearing roads they plan to tarmac this one. when dimitriy omar chines the preacher does manage to sway a gangster it's usually during
4:38 am
a prayer meeting it's quite standard around here for dealers to attend and engage with the pastors. towards the end of the meeting a young man is moved to get up and tell his story of redemption. oh of course the only part was sentenced to 14 years in prison then i found god and then i was released now i shall always walk with god. other congregants find such declarations inspiring it gives them hope then another dealer comes forward to receive the blessings that he got the a c. to outsiders it might seem very odd that drug dealers can be god fearing. here but everybody must know in his heart what he is doing. it was so he to clare's his intention to live a cleaner life if he doesn't if i want to give up drugs. dimitri
4:39 am
on march good example so. to be a healing influence helping others like himself to escape a life of drugs and crime. in may 2020 a tropical cyclone hit the coast of bangladesh millions of people had to flee for their lives storms in the bay of bengal often drive seawater far inland damming 2 of the country's main rivers the ganges and the brahmaputra this can cause them to burst their banks flooding large areas of land experts believe that climate change will inevitably make extreme weather more common the country's annual monsoon rains are already becoming increasingly heavy. they also fear that by the end of the century sea levels around bangladesh could rise by $1.00 to $1.00 and a half meters large areas of the low lying country would then be submerged under water. in southern bangladesh the monsoon rains are getting
4:40 am
heavier year by year and that means ever more extensive flooding. nowadays other die models fields are not just under water during monsoon season but for a full 8 months of the year so he's turned to growing vegetables on floating beds the water here is fresh not salty mahler has become a farming pioneer by reviving a technique that dates back many centuries. but i got i learned from my father a few plants on the water but he didn't do it systematically. i had one we've developed the technique further we don't really have any other option if we don't want to starve. my. mother has got used to spending much of his life in and on water the venture is proving very successful.
4:41 am
the goods are growing fast they're almost ready to harvest. amounted opposite of like. grown on water taste better and contain more bitterman well we don't need any chemical fertilisers or pesticides so these vegetables are better than the ones grown on the much better. seedlings have already been planted on the adjacent bed the roots store nutrients out of the water the beds are made up of water highest since decayed organic material compost that fertilizers the plants they held together by nets and hardly move there's almost no current here. of it all mother has become something of a star in his village his income is now 3 times the local average the whole family works on the farm. his daughter is embedding good seeds in bowls of compost they will then be planted on
4:42 am
a floating bed farmers in bangladesh are innovating their methods in response to climate change have the student of the high what's a bit scary is that my father's out on the water all the time. it's getting hotter and hotter here and mosquitoes breed on the water and cause diseases. my father's often ill that's terrible because he is the only one in the family who earns any money so we get very worried whenever he's sick. in the neighboring village of bread fruit tree has just been felled. the timber is form of a nun to some a day has given up farming and not only builds but it's. it takes him 6 hours to build a boat by hand business is great he could sell a lot more than he can build. i don't know if you guys i'm going
4:43 am
to you were very busy right now it's a tough time of year you know the farmers have to take to the water or report on iraq on a you've got to. take it for us it's doubly good because we have to use up the wood otherwise it will rot in the rainy season of god i think we still offer the farmers a good price. on the 30th of. mine under some a dad goes to the bank market every friday. he may be 70 but he paddles the 5 kilometers there comfortably. hundreds of rivers flow through bangladesh and they have tens of thousands of tributes race in low lying coastal regions like here in bury cell division is a growing threat the sea level is rising in the bay of bengal so rivers flow more sluggishly towards the sea and spread out across the land salty sea water is intruding deeper into the interior. for boat building it means more work for. the
4:44 am
boat market stretches for more than 2 kilometers along the river these boats sell for the equivalent of 40 euros they are a bust and can carry loads of up to 450 kilograms mohandas some of debt has a number of loyal customers. it all depends on the skill of the boat builder experience i have a boat so people like me but i've had to work very hard to get to where i am now. back at. dawn roy has come to visit he's an agricultural engineer with a district of thora to use and stops by regularly the government is keen to promote floating phones all kinds of crops can be grown on them spinach tomatoes cauliflowers as well as cool climate change could mean that a 3rd of the country will end up under water the question is floating farms like
4:45 am
here in barrie soul could be developed across the country. right now bangladesh produces enough food to be self-sufficient we don't have enough of a safe food food free of toxins and contaminants floating gardens make a valuable contribution because the farmers use a lot less pesticides because there are fewer pests on the water. at the local wholesale market i'll be down mala sells his produce and also seedlings to other farm is. he says they used to grow just rice and that involves much less work but switching to farming on water has proved to be much more profitable. the reality. is that a good vision might be the sun outdoors seedlings grown on land or weaker with 2 hours or more road.
