unlocked. thank you very much for joining us. we begin our coverage in the united kingdom were all eyes are on prime minister boris johnson in a dramatic development british police are now investigating allegations that parties were held at downing street that breached cove at 19 lockdown restrictions . it is the latest in a string of allegations that british media are calling the party gates scandal in reference to multiple parties held at downing street while the rest of the country was in lockdown. mister johnson now face is perhaps the biggest political crisis of his prime minister ship as calls for his resignation, grow louder. while a speaking in parliament earlier mister johnson addressed the police investigation . take listen to what he said. joy roku permits decision to conduct its own investigation, but to go i believe this will help to give the public with clarity it needs and helped to draw

a line on the mattress. a prime minister there speaking moments go dw london, correspond bergen moss is covering developments earlier, i asked her just how bad this crisis is for prime minister boris johnson. it was peculiar layla that he was speaking very, very briefly only about these police investigation. and i know he has of, obviously in the past, he's insisted that he hasn't broken any rules, but exactly that will be the subject of this police investigation. and that's definitely a very serious development because the metropolitan police commissioner has said that only serious and flagrant breaches of their covey drools would be investigated . and this is, is definitely something that puts a lot of pressure on prime minister boris johnson. and it also comes on top of other problems that he has had in the past. one m p has come forward and he has

said that he had been blackmailed by party officials if he wouldn't vote with the government and he would lose funding for a school in his constituency. and only yesterday, a government minister had resigned over covert low and ceo said that the treasury did wasn't in control about covet loans, that millions were lost and there was not the real oversight. so there are a multitude of problems that boys johnson is facing at the moment. burgers just put this in perspective, us for us, for a moment. contextualize it. how significant is it that a police is investigating a sitting british prime minister? it's something that is very bit, i think for, for a lot of british people many have come forward and they have told us stories of what they did when these alleged parties and gatherings and leaving dues with alcohol and birthday cakes and wine and cheese,

what they did on the days where these alleged parties were held in government and government buildings and they were not able to attend family relatives, funeral, they were not able to hold a loved one's hand who was dying and c for the all these are allegations now to come out know, just one gathering or to you, but really a multitude of potential parties. it's something that a lot of people really take a lot of issue with. and the question for the conservative m. p. 's who have now got to decide about the, the fate of the prime minister is really about the moral authority. they know that a lot of their constituencies are very angry that they think that there is one rule, very strict rule for them during locked down. but that the people who made the rules did not stick to them. so there are a lot of emotions concerning this subject at the moment, layla, bigot, in

a few words, can he still come back from this? does he's still enjoy enough support within his political party? that is what we don't know. we know the process. a 50 full conservative m. p 's have to put in a, a letter to you to the party and expressed the wish for a vote of no confidence. and if that threshold is reached, then there will be, as i have no confidence in parliament, we don't know if this is reached just yet. some might one to wait until this police investigation is concluded, but others might judge that this is enough, is enough. and now is the moment actually to strike and to look for another party leader and another prime minister. big mass reporting from a london. thank you very much. russia says it has launched combat readiness drills involving some 6000 troops near its border with ukraine. that says the

kremlin says it is watching us actions with quote, great concern. on monday, the u. s. put 8 and a half 1000 troops on heightened alert to be ready to deploy to eastern europe if moscow attacks ukraine. russian and ukrainian officials are set to meet in paris on wednesday with their french and german counterparts and a bit to diffuse tension. 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 negotiations, stalling between russia and the west, the pentagon has placed 8500 troops on high alert. in case nato decides to deploy. these troops are ready 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 u. s. readies itself of the west, ukraine's president has called for com and unity among western nations. tut burleson. everything's under control, but there is no reason to panic them. why ukraine, secretary of the national security and defense council downplayed the likelihood of russian invasion the impetus line. as soon as we're in the syllabus, his glare amusements of russian federation armed forces in its territory a year it takes place. oh said we detected when law said, but there's nothing that can surprise us. nothing. he mozilla, perhaps it surprised our foreign colleagues for but they finally sold, the russian armed forces moving wiser. but in this post, russia continues to demand a promise that nato will never allow ukraine to join the alliance, a negotiation nonstarter for nato. yet as long as the diplomatic deadlock remains,

so to do fears of an invasion, standing by and the russian capital, is it of your correspondent, emily, sherwin emily? oh, talk to us about the combat readiness inspections. russia has a now as started. what does that mean exactly? while i think those combat readiness inspections are essentially a tit for tat response from the russian side to the announcement, the amount announcements from the u. s. and also from the nato about troops kind of being moved about truth being ready for action if necessary. on the one hand that underline the point that russia has been making for several months now, that nato and the west really are a security guarantee, rather a security threat for it. and that in a sense, nato has been coming too close for comfort to russia. eastern borders, that's what we've been hearing from the russian side again and again. and that's

why they say they need written guarantees from the west that there will be no more nato expansion. and on the other hand, you know, as i say, this is a response to the west. i also think it's important to point out here though, that despite all these movements, the troop movements also from the russian side, russia keeps repeating again and again that they are not looking to attack ukraine and that they are just carrying out drills and checks within their own borders and that, that's well within their rights. emily up to now, the kremlin, did not want to whole talks with the ukrainian leadership, insisting that they deal directly with the likes of the us. but that's changing. well, there are a talk scheduled tomorrow in the so called normandy format on a diplomatic level. the normandy format is a series of talks between russia,

ukraine, as you said, and also france and germany about essentially the peace process in, in ukraine. there has, after all, been a war going on there for several years. and from the russian point of view, i think in a way this is a side issue. ah, you know, you, you, these normandy talks have been going on for a long time from the russian point of view. they are kind of stalled. we heard last week the russian foreign minister saying that the, that the ukrainian side is at fault for the fact that they've stalled that it's the ukrainian side that is big breaking piece agreements. that's the general position there on the norman detox. and from the russian point of view, yes, we're happy to talk about ukraine. but the main thing that they want to talk about is these written guarantees that there will be no more nato expansion. they want to keep talking with the west. and i think these talks, tomorrow are assigned for that, but really they want to be talking to the u. s. and nato about guarantees. right,

emily? sure. when they're reporting from moscow, thank you. let's get you up to speed now with the other stories in the headlines around the world. the european union has condemned a decision by russian authorities to add jailed opposition leader election of only an 8 of his top allies to a registry of terrorists and extremis. after surviving being poisoned with a nerve agent, mister devali was jailed last year for allegedly violating his parole. the european court of human rights has ruled that turkey's detainment of a german turkish journalist was an infringement of his personal rights. turkey arrested dennis, you shall in february 2017, accusing him of writing terrorist propaganda. he was detained for $290.00 days. the court ordered encore to pay $13000.00 euros in compensation.

the last day of talks between a taliban delegation and western diplomats is underway in all slow norway. tuesdays . meetings include non governmental organizations and are focusing largely on humanitarian aid and greater inclusivity. a groups estimate that nearly 9000000 people in afghanistan are on the brink of starvation. hundreds of people have marched through the streets of latino fossils capital in a show of support for the new military let. who into it al, stood present off a cowboy day on monday and suspended the constitution. his government faced heavy criticism for it's ineffective response to islamic violence, which has left one and a half 1000000 people internally displaced. at least 8 people haven't killed and dozens more injured after fancy stormed a soccer stadium, hosting an africa cup of nations, match, and camera. the stampede took place at the entrance of the newly built allan bay

stadium and the capital young day. ah, it was supposed to be a night of celebration, but it quickly turned deadly as fans inside limby stadium settled in to watch cameron's national team play, commerce tragedy was unfolding outside them. oklahoma, the stampede began as thousands tried to force their way into an already packed stadium. as the crowd surged through, the gates security personnel were overwhelmed. those trampled in the crush will rushed to hospital. but the casualties soon became too many for stuff to handle with homes would love me at all. my family went to the stadium home and afterwards i get a call to come to the hospital. when i arrived i find my big sister screaming and my little brother is lying down here and i want them a little further. my nephew, it me. i can find the others listening to love yet in bucklin. st. picky had not

pregnant women just died under the results to a baby yet, you know, to can't find the mother but the baby's here. now one insight, there are so many deadline to to le yet, and i'm under ml cameron, ian president pulled bio has ordered an investigation into the tragedy. but it will come as little consolation for those whose loved ones were caught in the crush. when the taliban took over afghanistan last august, it spelled disaster for millions of women who had re entered public life. not least for hundreds of women, judges who faced threats of violent retribution. but $150.00 of them and their families managed to escape. they 1st reached greece, where they waited to be re settled. 5 have now arrived in germany. he w. matthew more met with 2 of them. were he, dora, he must job, was upholding the law than our country descended into lawlessness. after graduating,

she went on to become a judge and an enemy of the violent extremist who now run afghanistan. but many times ask your to branch. i asked us until i told us that there are people like natal dawn and many service looking for judges, prosecutors and we have seen them like attacking the prosecutor's judges. many were kidnapped or killed. no right now, i'm here. but i'm feeling safe. but my heart and neck beats for my country, for my people out there. what he does is not alone for him or to is a judge. they studied together and have been reunited at this temporary housing unit in germany. they escaped the taliban with the support of a global network for lawyers, which raised funds to charter a plane and helped $390.00 judges under families, flea afghanistan, the sources with amazon and be sla,

it was really hard. i'm at our efforts of 20 years of all our study that university and in the judicial branch, when are fruitless, sensible as people to actually and when they left behind our jobs and efforts in afghanistan, hanukkah these and they get the message we left behind our houses relatives and our ordinary lives, hold on more than me to them. it was a hard decision for us to talk at them, but as much the absurd, it does seem sac paramour. even before the taliban took over the waged war on the judiciary bombing court houses and assassinating female judges on the street. was that he got in trouble for him up remembers the d. the taliban unleashed thousands of jailed criminal litigation. lumber hush love with him. by my command, after will they be released from prison, assailed mcnamara. then they went to the court all by and destroyed all chairs and tables. there is a good cause and then they called my boss and threatened him,

was there not much? doesn't they get me turned yes, get him off. for now, the judges have found safety at a form, a military barracks used by russian soldiers during the cold war. but more than 90 of their colleagues are still trapped in afghanistan. they're all very concerned. they are trying so much and they are just waiting for a time to be evacuated from afghanistan. meanwhile, the women are waiting to be housed somewhere permanent, where their children can settle in school, and they can find meaningful work. but they haven't ruled out a return. i hope that something american would happen and does it change and i'll be back to my country as a proud a judge as a proud woman and will enjoy in being there because that's my own country. and i belong to deer. i like it. my kids like it, and that's something

a dream. and not just for myself, for all as a her, out of afghanistan, we all dream of going back to my country. one day, like hath garnished on the face an uncertain future. unlike afghanistan, they can at least count on peace. a large snow storm and cold front is causing chaos, and turkey's largest city is stumble. traffic has ground to a halt, leaving thousands of people stranded overnight. in freezing conditions, authorities are urging people stay home while they work to clear the roads. hundreds of passengers were also left stranded at its stumble airport after flights were cancelled. travellers stranded in istanbul main airport where hundreds remain in limbo after a heavy blizzard. plains are grounded on snow covered

runways, but the scene is far from serene. all flights in and out of the airport are suspended . passengers feel their left on their own and one of the biggest airports in the world when another we've been him on the 24 hours. we have to go to parents, but we have no information. the apple didn't give us any advice option of muscle. passengers documented chaotic scenes after many were evacuated from stranded flights. on monday evening. world quarter airport cruise worked to free a passenger bus stuck in the snow. one of the cargo terminals collapsed under the heavy snow. miraculously no injuries were reported. outside the airport, the city of around $16000000.00 was also brought to a standstill. thousands spent the night in their cars, waiting to be rescued. istanbul disaster coordination center said over 1500 vehicles. and 7000 people were working to manage the situation.

putting the on on the auction with scattered powerful snowfall but to day, especially after 3 pm. there was serious amounts of nonstop snow ticky on the european side. his name is cause a lot of problems out in the field and what continues either shall i cherish molar there, ahmed you. back at the airport, passengers face more hours of waiting as the city things itself out there be corresponding. julie han is in istanbul. you are extreme weather conditions there where you are. what's the situation right now? well, flight operations, they are at a symbol airport, still remain largely suspended because of the bad weather. a turkish airline, for example, that's the national flat carrier. and now it would hold all flights until at least midnight local time. today now we're talking about one of the, well, the busiest and biggest airports a fancy glass and steel structure,

a prestige project of turkish prison bridge of type ad on that only opened about 3 years ago. and many people here all seen the question, how come the bad weather? heavy snowfall can cause so much chaos and destruction. the airport management is trying to give the impression that the situation is laundry under control. that they're successfully clearing the runways and taking care of the many, many people who were trying to, they are at the airport. but we are also seeing a lot of angry posts and videos coming in on social media of people protesting and demanding to know what's going to happen to them. and when to know when they can leave the airport fly out. now add to that all the chaos here on the streets of is symbol, particularly last night when thousands of people was trying to on their way in or out of the city. and now of course is this day, it's coming to an end. many here brace for another very tough night. well, how i have residents of this? campbell reacted to this extreme weather. now the

snow here has basically force this gigantic city to shut down to take a break. there is a lot less traffic on the road today because the city is governor, has all the people to stay home, not to use their private cars. civil servants were allowed to work from home. the bus was ferris hero operating on a limited schedule. many shops remained close, but also saw shopkeepers trying to clear the streets in front of their store using buckets using shovels or even their hands. i've seen others trying to push cars up the tiny roads cars which were stuck there. this is to say that people here in symbol aren't used to such extreme snowfall and quote, many people here, right handed em, but it's not over yet. heavy snowfall is expected in the days to come, not only here in a symbol, but also in the rest of turkey. johan reporting from istanbul, turkey,

thank you. time china rather has pursued a 0 covert policy. says the start of the pandemic and claims to have recorded fewer than 5000 deaths as a result in the u. s. by comparison, covert 19 has killed nearly 900000 people, but it's unclear if china will be able to hold back the more infectious alma chron variant as a country prepares to host to olympic. games here in beijing life appears to be back to normal with people enjoying traditional winter activities like ice cheer, writing cove. it almost seems to be a thing of the past or july i think being outside here is all right. besides, the gin has done an exemplary job of finding the pandemic so far. good as long as people keeping careful everything should be okay. i have great confidence in china . but just 135 kilometers away from the olympic venue. life looks very different.

the city of tianjin, with a population of 14000000, has been in locked down since mid january, according to authorities. it's the 1st city in china with known cases of ama kron and more cities are recording the new variant, almost daily, 500 kilometers away in the city of on young to i'm a chron cases lead to a complete locked m online media shows videos of students on their way to isolation facilities, china is strict about at 0 cove at policy, but scientists have doubts about it. success would have been all screens. i'd assume that only crone is actually spreading everywhere and china will be no exception. it might take longer for it to catch on there. that could be, but ultimately it will arrive there just as it has in other parts of the world. back in beijing, the winter olympics are set to open here in early february. and i'm, a kron could spread rapidly as a result to make sure it doesn't. all olympic venues have been cordoned off and are

closely monitored. the villages surrounding the olympic slopes are unlocked down as a precaution. gates are closed. even an interview from a safe distance is not welcome. here was the guard says that residents also have to ask for permission in advance if they want to enter. after all, we're in the midst of a pandemic. a veritable no man's land separates the olympic village from the rest of china. in the media canteen, everything is automated. access to the olympic area is heavily restricted for the chinese the government wants people to keep away from busses carrying olympics participants. even in the case of an accident, no one should come to help. rooms with protection against the pandemic seems to be

more important than protecting ordinary people's lives. in china, the fear of alma crohn is growing a real life. james bond moment may soon no longer be the stuff of fantasy, at least in one european country. so august transport authority has deemed a flying car to be air worthy. their car earned its wings after extensive test flights, the company says certification opens the door to mass production and a revolution for mid distance travel. the hybrid vehicle takes around 2 minutes to transform from plane to car and takes a regular petrol pump fuel. but aviation experts say you will likely be some time before transport. by flying car really takes a you can get over to you to stick with with
