the threats of action, if russia's security demands aren't met, is provocative. are encouraging. diplomacy is not provocative. the provocations from russia not from us or other members of this council, this is the largest. this is the largest, hear me clearly mobilization, approved in europe in decade. the crime in march, remember that ukraine is ready to defend itself. at the same time, we support the need to keep diplomatic journalists with russia open. ukraine is not going to launch military offensive, neither indian bus nor in creamier, nor anywhere else. the green season alternative to peaceful resolution of the ongoing conflict. more than $100000.00 russian trip or mass ukraine's border sparking concern from the us. so that european allies,

that russia will mount some sort of invasion within week. and we continue to engage in non stop diplomacy and to de escalate tensions and templates to devil to improve security for allies and partners. and for all of europe for that matter. but with russia is continuing, is build up of its forces around ukraine. we are ready, no matter what happens after the un security council meeting. russia responded in writing to us proposal aimed at de escalating the ukraine crisis. more high level diplomacy is expected this week. even though talks of so far failed to ease tensions. you reset without moscow, correspondent yuri. is there a diplomatic way of solving this crisis? i think everybody hope so ben and t,

as there are plenty of negotiations going on at different levels at the moment. as for the security council meeting yesterday, or russia has criticized the decision to hold it accusing, 1st of all, the white house of unacceptable interference in russia's internal affairs and calling the media at the meeting. a p. r, stunt for the u. s. government. and at the same time, moscow has repeatedly emphasized that he doesn't want a military solution, but a diplomatic one. so on the one hand, moscow says, hey, let's talk on the other hand, i'm not that way. however, i do think that the effect that the highest you and body has tried to deal with the issue as at least as symbolic effect on the kremlin. also at the same time, russia is putting forward demands, it knows the west really just can't deliver on. what's moscow solution to this then? well, i think moscow maintains that all russia is doing is moving the troops within its

own territory, enter that russia. it has never, or she has never intended to attack your grain as kremlin also complained that the international community isn't bothering to learn about the reason of the escalation in the tensions between the west and russia. and from the russian point of view, been as there is just one reason for that. and that is that, that the nato has come to close. rushes bought us, however, the kremlin has consistently ruled out a military solution to day later, a russia foreign minister lover off and u. s. secretary of state lincoln, are going to discuss the issue on thorn or the earth. russian, diplomatic, diplomatic efforts yielded nor result when they both spoke earlier. this month we'll see are what will be the result of today's talk later. what about these new sanctions? the washington and london are threatening against wealthy russian oligarchs, is, is that something that the could sway moscow in any way? well, i think it's hard to say whether the new sanctions will actually work or reportedly

these new sanctions. i bought the money and let's call them financial possibilities over there. each ration oligarchs, specifically in the u. k. are russians have been buying property in london for years and bringing a lot of money into the country into the united kingdom? are russians? are apparently the 2nd largest group after people from the united arab emirates who buy property in london. and the problem is that nobody knows exactly where their money comes from. but if it's doubtful a whether this kind of sanction can punish the russian state. or if all this money, no longer is invested in the u. k, by the stays in russia because of the sanctions, then the sanctions would probably punishes the oligarchy, but benefit the russian states rather than harm it, given this money will be spent within russia. and what about the russian people? how's all this going down with them? well, her rations have become skeptical about nato. are many things that nato and not the

only the ship is to blame for the current escalation intentions with the rest of our example. because near to wants to send more troops to the east are but a war with ukraine would be deeply unpopular at home. and to most people consider the whole discussion about it. totally exaggerated as there isn't a sense of in a minute to war. he and moscow and to nobody in this country can or wants to believe that the russians would kill ukrainians. why many people? i have a who many people i have spoken to a call or a brother nation. exactly. a lot of them have relatives there and the other way round. you're a great to talk to you. thank you very much for the analysis. now round up of some other stories making well use today. and you report by amnesty international says israel's policies towards palestinians fit the international definition of apartheid. israel rejects any such allegations, saying its own arab citizens,

enjoy equal rights. it's branded the report is anti semitic. human rights watch accused israel of upon tape last year. denmark is the 1st european union country to lift its pandemic restrictions, mandatory face masks, health classes, and limited opening hours are no longer necessary. the move comes to spite record numbers of cobra infections. the government says it's relying on denmark's high vaccination rate to cope with the only con variant in ecuador, at least 11 people are dead off the record flooding cricket a massive landslide buildings and cars in the capitol quito was swept away by turns of water on sunday. heavy rains and pounded the country since october. scientists say global warming is a major contributing factor. more than 20 people have died in brazil after heavy rains, landslides and flooding in the state of south hollow have left hundreds of families homeless. the states governor has authorized emergency aid for affected areas. brazil has been experiencing torrential rains and heavy flooding since december.

it's a race against time to search for remaining survivors before it's too late. homer is good. they think that there are people over there. 1 may god help them if they are alive. those of you yesterday someone was calling for help. today he is not calling anymore. they are trying to get the body out. they are dead or alive. some flood victims are still being pulled out of the month. but the hope to find any more is quickly fading. a desperate wait for those whose loved ones are missing her for what are you? i'm looking for my nephew, his wife in a 2 year old child. we are barbara. know they set the bodies are still there under the mud, but, but until now they couldn't recover them that the lance lights are a frequent occurrence in brazil during the rainy season. here in franco that roach

are there specially dangerous for hillside houses. there are often the homes of the poor little firefighter se they'll continue operations until all the missing persons on the list are accounted for. both the living and the dead. it's been one years since mia mazama overthrew elected leader on sung, said she, and seized power in a cou, the united states, britain and canada have now announced new sanctions against the haunt, a targeting top members of the judiciary. you and chief antonio gutierrez, urged the world to put more pressure on me, a most military rulers. in a statement he says, in the past year there's been an intensification and violence, deepening of the human rights and humanitarian crises, and a rapid rise of poverty. the multiple vulnerabilities of old people across me in my and its regional implications require an urgent response recent days, security forces, and me and my the rest dozens of people to prevent

a nationwide strike to mock the anniversary over the last year of political turmoil . thousands of others have been killed, detained, or fled their homes a year on from the coo and myanmar and things look relatively normal on the surface. but a pervasive armed presence betrays a country firmly under military control. on february 1st 2021 on the sign to cheat was ousted from her role as de facto leader of the civilian government. after the military placed her under arrest and handed power to the country's top general had his own people to go away. the generals claimed without evidence that there had been massive voter fraud to explain their take over 2 cheese ousting led to massive protests. thousands of people took to the streets, her joined resistance groups. the military has retaliated with a bloody crackdown. according to the un,

at least 1500 people have been killed by that brutal effort to crush dissent. and at least 11000 people have been arrested and detained for voicing their opposition . some 9000 people are still in custody. and 290 have died in detention likely due to the use of torture, says the u. n. a year on, on democracy, looks a long way away for me, and mark will as speak now to aim in sam, a political and pulitzer prize winning journalist from me and my in exile in bangkok about a year ago. you tweeted that the crew had forced you to flee your country for the 3rd time. what led you to that? yes, so i left them are about 10 months ago due to security concerns. at that time, the military had begun killing people in the streets. a number of journalists has been arrested and we were also hearing from people that those who happened were

being subject to torture, as well as having the devices. and then the counselor received with a band on independent media. it's hard to get a true picture of what's going on in me and my, what is life like they're under military bruland and a pandemic? yes, it's been quite difficult to get a good sense of what's happening in the martin. it's not just because people are, and people are reporting from excel from outside the country, but also because things look so different from place to place. so for example, in a big city like angle, you know, things may look fairly normal on the day to day, but occasionally people will see bombings and dr. buys and assassination attempts. whereas people are more rural areas, might be seeing ariel bombardments as well as sort of active before and conflict breaking out, forcing tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people to flee. and so for the current situation, it's been relatively calm for the last few months, but over the summer and i was faced with its 3rd wave of over 19 and somewhere

between 10 and possibly a couple 100000 people were killed. looking at the sort of funeral home numbers and looking at the numbers of access that you mentioned, bombings, assassinations, killings in the streets. what, what can the international community to so the international community can do quite a lot to help. i think a number of countries are already on the right path, really pressure in the regime to release political prisoners to come to the table and to sort of relinquish their unjust seizure of power. we've also seen people at the various countries and engage in various sections and boycott regimes. i think what else can be done is for dish national community to have arms, a bar go on them are to have a much more coordinated effort and try to get the regime to come to the table to negotiate and to return a power back to elected officials in the country. so how optimistic are you about

ever returning to me in my, or any time soon? i think it's not going to be safe. for most of us who are actively criticize the regime to return to the country. i think it's not going to be safe for quite a long time. i mean, hopefully the regime is able to be toppled either the rule negotiations or perhaps it may fall to the pressure being placed by the direction that it's facing on multiple fronts. everywhere in the country right now. in fact, if you're reporting going keeps you keep your hopes up high as well. good. talking to you today on the w. taiwan has taken a 0 covert, approached the pandemic with strict rules on entry into the country and mandatory quarantine and testing for some it's meant being away from family. for the longest

of times, elsa child spends most of her time alone with her new born because her husband is a pilot. he must quarantine for 5 days in a hotel and 9 days at home. every time he lands, despite being fully vaccinated, all household responsibilities fall on our says showed us that doesn't fancy. i'm practically a single mom because my husband is always absent without being so long. i'm always worried that of something urgent comes up. no one can give me a hand. it's also unfair to our son because he doesn't have a bonding with his father. michael, who is currently hotel, is just 20 minutes away from home, but he can only communicate with his family by phone. in the past year, he has almost always been either up in the air, flying long hall flights or in isolation. he was absent from all his wife's pregnancy, checkups before the birth of their son. now his missing out on the growth of his new born. hi jose. yes is so go. i was confined for 190 days the past year.

it's unbelievable that we've done nothing wrong with it. so we're, we're treated like prisoners just because we've been out of the country. the government thinks where the dirtiest group and have to look us up. mentally. i've been down in the dumps he is on her. during the early days of the pandemic, taiwan was praised globally for his prompt decision to close bodice and imposed 14 day quarantines on all arrivals. that has kept cases down to less than $20000.00 and does below full figure so far. but the south route island may be a victim of his early success. as the world reopens taiwan struggles to exit tesero cove as strategy. despite the 2 dos vaccination rate, reaching 74 percent south express. se people in taiwan have had a 0 covert mentality for too. long that's a low tolerance in any outbreak, and with local election assuming at the end of this year, the government is seen to have the incentive to open up as

a public opinion continues to highlight the danger of the firas. with the c row cove, it mindset every case is treated to like a grave threat to public health and a disease carries a stigma. i was a chance that people with travel history, especially air crews, are labeled as potential infection control breaches. tuning, say, eagles, 0 cove, it is a dream to achieve that. we have sacrificed a lot, including the well being of us air crews. how may i help? the government will relax the rule soon until your full guy set, but she might have to wait longer. the 30 year into the pandemic, there's still no sign of border reopening or relaxation of cov, it rears yet another journalist has been killed for carrying out their duties in mexico. it's the 4th such murder so far this year. 3 men gun down to roberto, to late on monday for they to work for a news outlets in the city of c to see that coral was exposing or trying to expose

corruption. mexico was considered the most dangerous country for the press last year. for the 3rd year in a row, according to reporters without borders of more, we've got t w's yards in. potato is head of talk shows, and mexican himself. we heard the some of the numbers there. the 4th person killed this year and 50 journalists have been killed in the past 5 years, according to reporters without borders. how do you explain the situation? i mean, it wasn't very shocking where we're given an i d. w espanol for that as well. but i can tell you, journals are just doing their job. and it's because they're investigating the relationship between organized crime and government officials that they been killed . they are exposing by name, government officials, i'm politicians, and suddenly, or after they've done bad duty or killed. i mean in this case,

in one of the recent cases we have low dust maldonado. she was working, investigating corruption on state state, on media outlets and, and then she was killed. they were telling me that this isn't just a problem with organized crime. it's also a problem with the government. yeah, that's right. it's a government official for everybody as well. i mean, we know that and we're talking about the most dangerous place in the worlds for journalists and, and mexico. not even a, a war zone is it. right? is nothing changing on the ground because with we were just saying 50 journalists killed of the past 5 years. it sounds like this is something that's been going on for a long time. this dangerous situation. yeah, unfortunately, nothing has changed on the ground has been, there's been tries on doing that. journals have to go to the store. i had to go to the series and last phase, 2 math approaches in different, in different cities,

throughout mexico to a claim, more protection actually, in the last 1015 years, they have to gathered themselves in order to know how to protect themselves. i'm in general was that it didn't work together from different outlets. they the, the have come together to define guidelines that i sort of lead them to better protection. and whenever they have to do with injures job li called themselves and assess 1st to your situation. and then give them a mutually protection. it's sad situation and the journalists are being left to fend for themselves. but now we see the international media like the w a following the story closely, including the w english and german. but what, what needs to actually change what, what do we have to see change or on the government level?

because i guess all of his international media is going to put some sort of pressure on the helmet, isn't it? arrows right? and mexico has already a mechanism of for protection of journals, and he won't write defenders has been already at 10 years working. and previously they had a subdivision at the attorney general's office to better investigate situations or perpetration against journals and him. greg, defenders, it isn't working, isn't really working to destroy his i just mentioned a few months ago. no. just want another. she was under protection of this making and she was killed as in the morning press conference of mister low. but sober lord nixon, president, she asked for help because she was furious. shouldn't be, shouldn't be killed. and they just need, i mean the mechanism, the and it's, we're funding and we're are but mostly funding and the precedent

also. i mean that's, we're at some ingles also accused needs to her at more for a bit of role to the journals. because his been depicting them are mostly that it sounds like a, it's not only a serious but very complicated situate is very complicated and we're, we're phone that will keep an eye also on d, w as bio and the other and the other language as 50 yelton would sail from our spanish department, great to have you in today and thank you to men has been arrested in southwest germany after the fatal shooting of 2 police officers. it's actual place during a traffic stop in the early hours of monday. the arrest came on monday evening, just over 12 hours after 2 police officers aged $24.29 were shot dead. the main suspect, a 38 year old wild game trader, turned himself in to police. police at earlier appealed to the public for information on his whereabouts. a 2nd suspect was arrested shortly afterwards. his

it has touched us and i'm sure many cheers have flowed this morning and will continue to flow last month with no fees. what exactly happened at the scene is still unclear, and potential motives for the shooting are still being explored. and a reminder of the top story, we're following foy, us in branson diplomats class stove, a ukraine at the un security council. he was accused russia of the stabilizing europe by massing troops, now ukraine's border. russia said that you guys was stirring up hysteria, and it says that it had no plans to invite now with some images, people around the world celebrating the luna new year. the year the tiger was welcomed with traditional dragon dances and pres, across southeast asia and beyond. enjoy. ah
