the crisis on russia's border with ukraine, foreign minister on a later bare bach. i took that message to kiff. today she held talks with her ukrainian counterpart and on the line to germany, support for ukraine sovereignty, a disgust rushes to build up from the ukrainian border, and calves colson, burn lynn to supply it with weapons. barbara travels to moscow on tuesday. today though she had reassuring words for her ukrainian hosts. zoe danny teet solidarity is already done. european solidarity for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. i, you know, that is not up for debate, not for us, and not for me personally, but any further aggression would have a high price. his emphasize that to day, once again, fishin island on price. let's get more from t w's, chief international editor, a richard to walk a welcome. richard. so ukraine, isn't it with invidious position of having all these major powers,

talking about aids without involving it? so how can, what influence can germany or, or even europe have on the u. s. and russia in their talks about to ukraine? yeah, i mean, this really is the, the great concern that the ukrainians have, of course, that they are stuck in the middle. and that you does have the great powers debating across them. and that's even the fear for the europeans themselves. and we've heard it from, from some of the m e u leaders in recent weeks voicing that very concerned that we're kind of reaching a moment in this kind of struggle between the great powers on the global stage where it really is a matter of great power to sit down with each other and nobody else really matters very much. but in any what we saw last week with those diplomatic talks that did take place, although they began with just bilateral talks between the u. s. in russia, they did then open up to talks with nato, and the o. s. c, e. this,

a european security organization. and officials that we've been talking to here in berlin have been at pains to stress how close the consultation has been going on, or on a trans atlantic level. but what you're seeing with an alina bear bog, now on this trip, she is trying to revive this thing called the normative format. so these 4 way talks between the russians, the ukrainians, the germans, and the french or format that essentially are ended at the end of last year. trying to revive that to try and get more of a european foot in the door. the ukranian say that they want that to come back to, but they've also been saying that they want to be at the top table with the you, americans and the russians. so it's really a very, very complex diplomatic situation that we're finding ourselves in the moment. and sticking points out, how likely is it but, but germany and ukraine can overcome sticking points like at the supply of our weapons to ukraine. and of course, at north street aghast, this

a russian gas pipeline bringing amber fuel to germany. and so we're, we're on, on, on an arm's exports and in your book was pretty clear in rejecting those today. but nord stream to this gas pipeline between russia and germany is been very, very controversial. that's almost the more interesting case at the moment because there you have divisions within the new german government is barely been in power for a month or 2. and it's already it quite spilling out into the open. the div differences between the 2 main main parties in this coalition, the social democrats of the chancellor, or love sholtes, and the green party of anna lena bear book. and alina burbock, herself, has been a passionate opponent of this pipeline. there's not really a clear message from the government here in berlin yet, whether the pipeline will be used as some kind of leverage against russia. if russia does move to him, even more aggressive posture towards ukraine, this is really gonna be want to watch in the weeks ahead. i can about richard richard walker. the douglas chief international editor we,

while former ukrainian president patrick barrow shanker, has returned to his country from bon for broad. he left after being charged with treason charges he says were trumped up by supporters of his successor president, the landscape was to perish unco now. risks arrest but says he wants to help defend his country against a possible russian invasion. he's landing, not knowing whether he'll be arrested. petro parish anchor has flown back to ukraine with hefty charges of treason against him. and yet outside kiff airport, thousands of his supporters stood cheering. ah, after meeting his fans, pershing, who is taken to court for a hearing. he's under investigation for allegedly financing rebel groups in ukraine's turbulent don bath region. the ukrainian government considers them terrorists flesh anchor has

insisted from the beginning that the accusations are unfounded, were invented by his successor to defame him. oh, wait. oh it's an absolutely fate case. we will make this suspicion public. everyone will have an opportunity to enjoy this unique nonsense and we'll see that there is nothing there. a parish anchor is found guilty. he could be imprisoned for up to 15 years. but the former president does not expect these charges to hold water. he says his return to defend his country against russia. russian troops and military tanks have been building up near ukraine's board for weeks and many fair, an invasion, just like per shanker. okay, so all stories are making news around the world. now starting in turkey, where a court is acquitted. german journalist, mozilla told you of turret related charges. she was detained in 2017 and accused of

membership of an outlawed left wing group. and what was, seems to politically motivated case. she was released from custody in 2018 and returned to germany. british counter terrorism, police arrested 2 teenagers in connection with a hostage taking incident at a synagogue in the u. s. this weekend, the f b, i identify the hostage taker as a 44 year old british national, who was killed by police after 10. our standoff president biden was describing incident as an act of terror. no one else was injured or communications to the pacific island. our nation of tonga remain limited since saturdays volcanic eruption and soon army. it's believe the underwater cable that connects the archipelago to the rest. the world was severed during the twin disaster satellite images of the before and after the eruption. so the uninhabited, our island above the volcano and disappeared following the huge blast, australia and new zealand who sent surveillance planes to tell it to help assess

the damage. so non, the warnings were issued for many countries, and at least 2 people drowned when the waves reached the shores of a room more than 10000 kilometers away. congress high commissioner to australia. so the, so far there have been no reports of death or serious damage at home, but that assessment was based on limited information. it is hard to, to, to say what it's needed is we're still waiting to receive information from part of what is much needed. but we know for sure that there will be a need for clean water because of the options and which really dimensions causing lots of our travels to the water supply. as most of the people collect water through rain, this is something very dangerous for them to consume and find out more with

professor patina shaw, who is a vulcan on a just a little vicar maximilian university. next, she studied this particular volcano in detail. welcome to the w professor. this was an event that was seen, heard and felt hundreds, thousands of miles away. why was it so powerful? but that's a very good question. as in the last few years and decades, the dislocate it was not that strong in its erupt behavior. now, with this one, there was that the water was playing a much more significant role. when the water comes in contact the hot water often to form a vapor film at which isolates that then not too much is happening. if you connect that which happened and that's your option, then you'd trigger something like fuel cord interaction. and that contributes to a mess, the rupture, and it's like

a 1st break chemical explosion. you trigger with that. on top of that, the reaction in itself, most priscilla pete much, much bigger than the ones people facing the last they case, right? possibly coming from the center of the cold air and that there were intermittent eruptions from december, but this major event does seem to have taken everyone by surprise. why do you think? oh, i think that's her. be looked back for the last 10 years. 1520 years and we saw these smaller were options and we have record of these giant ruptures every 1000 years. so and then now destroyed small i and then colleagues of mine found 2 other records dating back each of our 1000 years for this message, rob jones. and in between, you have many,

many of the small eruptions. so it was hard at the beginning to, to differentiate if that's just one of to small intermittent one. or if it might be the big one. but as part of human mankind of an event which happened every 1000 years. the notary leah commenting on that happened right away. not mercifully bertha have been no reports of death or serious image or serious injury at this stage. so that's, that's awesome. that's the good news. but as you been pointing out, this is a region that is used to be sort of volcanic activity. how prepared is tonga for this kind of disaster. well, i think they are prepared foot tsunamis that there are more than one possibility to trigger tsunami there. so they might have been prepared or i think they, they've so far what would we know?

and as you pointed out before, we still know very little what happened on on the diary because the lacking notice from there and they, they are prepared for for some. so now is for the giant interruptions. it's hard to prepare hoodie, a prepare society for an event which takes place if a 1000 years right so that that is really difficult also in terms of our preparedness, of mitigation and assert. thank you so much for a raspberry of the time professor, professor matina sean from blue vick maxine williams university. thank you. now to the u. k, where people have been rallying across the country to protest against the proposed new law. they say is an attack on the right to demonstrate a controversial police and crime bill would grant police a great powers to act against disruptive protests. but critic say you would also

make it more difficult to hold peaceful demonstrations. andy smith is re housing in his head. his 1st words to his wife emma is scientist. today she'll be walking free after 2 months in prison in southern england, and is smith could never have imagined that she would ever be behind bars. oh my gosh that i love her. she's been so proud of her. i i you know, we have, we have really young nieces is who are that that their future is not going to be the same future that we had. right? and we have, we have to fight for that fusion, her crime, she blocked moat away. she's part of an environmental group that is pressuring the government to insulate british homes to save energy. they say it's the cheapest way to tackle the climate crisis. terrifying i was coming down to my lawyers. i like that we can tighten

by blocking roads for hours, has enraged motorists. the british government has vowed to put an end to it. in a statement, the home office tells d w. freedom to protest within the law as a fundamental potter for democracy. but the police must swiftly deal with a selfish minority of protested, whose actions and danger the public. the u. k. government is targeting environmental activists. it wants to stop disruptive, protests, public nuisance will be new offense carrying a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison, or an unlimited fine. and that's highly controversial. and yo's and human rights groups have states many protests. they see the bill as an attack on democracy itself. and even conservative legal observers, like the former attorney general, are concerned most problematic,

all the parts which give to the home secretary very significant powers to determine what constitutes serious disruption. whereas normally that would be a master left of the police. ah, emma smart and her fellow protestors know that that is wrapped in is controversial, but they see no other way and to continue breaking the law. the law is our fundamental right. the if our government is failing, that we can hold that government to account. these are our elected representatives . they are supposed to be protecting the people. and if they are failing at that, then it should be all right to stand up and protest and the response of them to imprison of us is absolutely it's draconian. for the moment the protesters are happy to be outside. but with a new build, it seems only a matter of time until they will be behind bars again as get more or less from our

youth g w. k correspondent of bergen mos in london, welcom budget. and so we have the british government saying this proposed legislation would target protesters whose actions and danger the public. what do they mean by that? the context, phil is that the protests, particularly environmental protest. they have been peaceful, but they have become ever more disruptive. so processes have blocked motor ways, highways. they've blocked her in, in a city, a junction. so a lot of people in the u. k. a very unhappy about it and the government are saying the danger is, and critics are saying that that, for example, maybe ambulances will not be able to pass through. this is something that the protesters are denying. they're saying they would always make sure that ambulances and, and other vehicles that need to go through that they need to get a can go through buds. this is something that the critics basically are saying. so that's wanting the danger side. but then also the government are saying,

it's not just about endangering the public, it's also the right of people to go about their daily lives. so that's also what they want to make sure that people can enjoy. and obviously the protest is arguing that they need to be disruptive because otherwise they wouldn't be heard of. this is a government with a significant parliamentary majority. so what the human rights activist worry will happen the where a fish proposal is passed. many groups, not just environmental groups, but also groups like black lives matter. they are worrying that they cannot hold the government to account. also, trade unions have expressed their concern. they are saying, for example, that it might be an erosion or fundamental rights. and it might include trade union activists say, there are many groups that are really fearing that there's too much for wanting too much new power for, for the police, for example, the police can preemptively stop and search greatest as that might already be on

their way to a demonstration, and on the other hand, that there are new crimes, like for example, locking themselves locking arms or gluing, or gluing themselves on to me to a. and those are tactics that the pre testers and insulate britain support is arguing are long established tactics. like for example, linking arms like the suffragettes did that and they and able to the women's right to vote. so they do not do not believe that that should be forbidden in the okay, when, so this is a government ending date, a prime minister that is currently locked in all sorts of masses. i wonder how much the government's other masses have sort of drowned out this particular piece of controversial legislation. are people aware of what's going on that's a really good question, phil. i think many people are not acutely worse. we've seen protest against this

bill ever since. it basically was conceived last year. however, it's not thousands and thousands of people. it's hundreds of people and they ought to say that some of the most controversial legislation is being ross through parliament that some controversial amendments were being made at the last minute and not not even m p. 's could properly scrutinized this really quite important bill. and as you say, the government at the moment is in also so other trouble at out of parties that have happened and downing street say we will see, we do expect the bill to go to the house of lords, but also go back to the commons in the next days and then we'll see if there are m p 's who are not happy with his fill. and if, if, if it can still be changed. thank you for that bug bug. it math in london. i'm only 99 percent of the world's population are worse off now than they were at the start of the pandemic. according to ukiah charity oxfam. but the well for the

world's 10 richest man has doubled in that time. they say that walks farmer's, calling for a one off tax on billionaires to fund a number of causes including vaccine production. since the pandemic erupted in march of 2020 a. new billionaire has been minted every day, but a rising tide is not lifting all boats. because in that same period, 160000000 people have fallen into poverty. these new numbers from the u. k is oxfam organisation point to a worsening inequality, and they are now calling for new policies to curb this kind of extreme wealth. if one went to tax, the 10 wealthiest people, the 10 billionaires am on the profits made during the pandemic at 99 percent, which is a very high amount, of course, we would be able to pay for vaccines for the whole world. have health systems for everyone. we would be able to also compensate for the damage of climate change and

have policies that addressed in the base violence. that, of course, is an example, but they will still be better off than at the beginning of the pandemic. the numbers released by oxfam show that the fortunes of the 10 richest men had doubled since the pandemic began. they say a one time 99 percent tax on these 10 people alone could bring in $800000000000.00 . that could be used to expand vaccine production for the world's poorest, as well as fund other social programs. some more news from around the world now starting in greece, which has begun, imposing monthly, finds on people age 60 and over, refused to get vaccinated. mandate announced last month leverage a penalty of 50 euros for january, which will rise to $100.00 euro's from february. right, 2 thirds of greece's populations fully vaccinated that slightly below the average francis barbed her unvaccinated. deb,

people are from much of public life. a parliament, a batch restriction is to keep them away from restaurants, sports arenas, and domestic flights. the brothers part of government efforts to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. thousands of protesters of march through amsterdam against covey, 19 restrictions and vaccination campaigns, and farmers joined in what's become a regular rally against the netherlands health restrictions. last week the government loosens herself in response to public opposition or it's a year since brazil started back for aging people against cove 19, now with around 70 percent of the population fully vaccinated. the campaigns being seen as a success, especially for a country whose president are played down the threat of upon demick jail. bol scenario is also downplayed the current. toby kron waive even us case, number's rise. brazil has one of the world's hives. to corona, virus death, tolls. people are hoping the high vaccination rate will mean fewer death. this time . the ami kron wave has hit present. the number of people infected has jumped

dramatically despite the shortage of tests, leaving many cases unreported. notice a little i'm running from one place to the next to try and get tested. i had contacted people who are positive, but i don't have symptom early last year, brazil was facing an overwhelming number of covert debts. it has the world's 2nd highest corona virus death tell after the us but with the latest wave of the disease, there's a big difference. most people here and now vaccinated and civic will be doing. i got cove it last year. and so it's very hard to remember that time, it was very complicated, a desperate time when we didn't know what would happen. it was uncertain. and this vaccine gives us the possibility to keep going back to baltimore. around 70 percent

of brazilians are fully vaccinated in big cities. authorities say the figure is up to 99 percent ex but say the success is down to brazil, strong public health system and the history of successful vaccination campaigns. those factors have bolstered public trust in the corona, virus vaccine, despite the president attempts to undermine it. jail both scenario has openly rejected the vaccine and repeatedly spread misinformation. now he's down, playing the danger, posed by the on the crown waves and says there won't be another lock sound or extra restrictions way. there we go with health services under huge pressure. people are hoping at least the high vaccination rate will help her teeth on the crumbs impact a world mens teddy's number wander about jock of h as arrived back in bow. great. after being deported from australia, the sub who's not been vaccinated against a coven 19 had been fighting australian government efforts to borrow him from the

country. on sundale, australia, federal court refused to overturn the immigration ministers decision to deport him . talking rich received the heroes. welcome from the crowds of supporters who gathered there to belgrade, said nicolette, tesla effort to protest isn't deportation from australia. this is a saying what it is to lower killer failure. this is the saying what the world has come to handle, that you need to be forced to do something to take the vaccine. i myself and legislative doubled, but i think that no one should be forced to do something. he was the judge, the sentence was the freedom of choice of havitz. we talked with only happening or wills, with a big shame. big samplers failure for the people for the distance. i mean there should be able to be ashamed of themselves. this is the dublin years life from bell in his reminder of our top story at this hour and can german foreign minister and i
