yolande reports indicate crowds tried to force their way into the stadium. to watch cameron's national team like home, or a game, went ahead on schedule, with fans inside the stadium. unaware of the deadly seems outside we'll go straight to cameroon. our correspondent plays young, joins us blaze. you know the tragedy at a time when cameron ins would be celebrating their teams massive victory at this tournament. can you walk us through what happened outside the stadium during this match high? so it was, it was when the game a cute outside the stadium, some of them with some of them. we don't get all of them wanted to go, you know, wants to agree with people some time. sometimes the guy jumping over the fence, trying to force still waiting to host your to 40 hours from outside the stadium.

and that's when the crash with a waiver. seeing the images from the scene as you're speaking and you said they overwhelmed the security measures that were put into place there. can you talk to us about the security measures that were in place? is the massive tournament cameras are the hosts were the measure sufficient enough given that camera and the hosts were playing. when his solomon began the open, any opening day of the republican cameron was there was much security everywhere. so new spots around the studio. but tournament grew progressed with us during this time window to hold. the situation was not as big as it was during the opening day. i was in a couple of days ago, i saw i actually built another incident where the who wants to join to you

before the, the was the was stop. so i think i, in my opinion, what we have seen on the ground, the amount of people that come to work and being over the level of georgia. i see these are the what has the reaction been to this incident? has the continent governing body of football? reacted, and what are people they're telling you? place a spokesperson has said that a person that i just like you mentioned in the count, reset the hour. well this is and it and determine what happened. but so far, that's just a simple mission. we have not spoken much about what really happened and how we happen. correspondent, blaze young, providing us with that update from cameroon. thank you very much placed now the

united states has put 8500 troops on higher alert to potentially deploy to eastern europe if russia attacks ukraine again. president joe biden and european leaders also held talks by video to underscore western solidarity in the face of what they say is aggression from moscow. ukraine, for its part, says there is no reason to panic and has called for calm. russia denies its planning and invasion, and accuses the west of being hysterical. a military standoff and a diplomatic deadlock. almost 2 months since russia began mustering troops on the ukrainian border. the situation remains as tense as ever. with negotiation, stalling between russia and the west, the pentagon has placed 8500 troops on high alert. in case nato decides to deploy. these troops already to support nato state surrounding ukraine rather than ukraine

itself. again, i want to reinforce that as of now, the decision has been made to put these units on higher alert and higher alert. only no decisions have been made to deploy any forces from the united states at this time in an abundance of caution. the u. s. has also withdrawn personnel from its embassy and keith, mainly family members and children. the while the us readies itself are the worst ukraine's president has called for calm and unity among western nations. touch growth. everything is under control, but there is no reason to panic. ukraine, secretary of the national security and defense council, downplayed the likelihood of russian invasion yet, but a swine. is there a movements of russian federation armed forces in its territory? it takes place we detected. but there's nothing that can surprise us. almost perhaps it surprised our foreign colleagues. they finally saw russian armed forces move across their territory. ross is only but as the wise, but in his voice. russia continues to demand

a promise that nato will never allow ukraine to join the alliance. a negotiation nonstarter for nato. yes, as long as the diplomatic deadlock remains. so to do fears of an invasion. let's bring in raphael laws. he's with the european council on foreign relations. welcome to the program. rafa out. now the us is putting troops on alert for possible deployment to eastern europe. they've also sent military hardware to ukraine, to beef up to fans. what about germany? berlin says it will provide key f, a field hospital next month, but will not provide military gear to its ally. can you talk to our international audience? about berlin stands when it comes to exporting arms abroad. that's right. burden has an onset. i would finance a field hospital for, for ukraine and corporation with sonia germany traditionally asked hesitate and this new german government, more so than that, maybe past governments to provide arms transfers into conflicts owns and it

certainly cons. ukraine has 4 or 4 time now called kicked on given the ongoing russian aggression against your credit cards. we see no indication that we will revise that that's, that's been some progress in this new german coalition government to coalesce around the same message when it comes to putting all measures on the table to, to deter every rational impression against the queen. but this has sort of raised some eyebrows as well because or instance, maultrie too has been mentioned implicitly. but all that choice for a long time has, has been lucky to mention most to explicitly as a lever that drove me. and if i could use an order to dissuade moscow from, from going into credit again, i do want to talk a little bit more about nord stream to, as you mentioned, that the pipeline that would carry russian gas into germany. it's not active. as of

right now, us secretary of state antony blanket has said this is leverage for the europeans, is absolute leverage that germany has to wield against vladimir putin. has germany made it clear enough to vladimir putin that if his country attack ukraine again, the north stream to is that, as you mentioned, there's my uncertainty there about exactly what germany would do. should russia invade in ukraine? while back in december, germany's new chance i would have shot from the social democrats and very explicitly said that not true of the business of the private sector that we shouldn't mix politics to your politics with, with a private sector and business. some of his question partners, particularly in the green party, for instance, german partners during the campaign last year. but also in recent weeks has been a bit more explicit. we have long emphasize much into as, as a potential lever for germany and need to, i'd like to use again, russia and just as russia is going to use energy as a geopolitical tool. again,

it's perceived as areas. but nonetheless, the german threats so far of putting everything on the table as incomplete voucher to implicitly but, and i have really seeking some extra assurances that this is, that this sort of by that whole project between germany and russia as it would be fine if it's something that, that we would consider using loss in the or pin council on foreign relations. thank you for your insights. let's have a look now. some of the other stories were falling for you this hour, at least 19 people have died after a brawl at a karaoke club that was then set on fire and indonesia as west capua province. police say, members of 2 groups attacked each other with machetes and molotov cocktails, investigator se, most died after the venue caught fire in throng city. but up the british prime
