noodle. we can see them from the area of china as a way to get in touch. it gets done where most of the region, 12000000 wizard lives. surprising, not many people know about vigorous even. there's so many news on the media. so like i have to attract them to create like curiosity. then that's sort of this t shirt. i think it helped a lot like people they asked about vigor if they googled riggers, some of his customers already know a lot about the topic. others are just about to find out. as an american, i feel a responsibility as a conscientious consumer. to understand that the weaker are inextricably connected to american consumer ship and capitalism. that there are so many companies that

have direct or indirect relationships, to weaker labor through the forest detention and force labor camps that the chinese are inflicting on them and have been for so long. so i am definitely interested in knowing more about them and i plan to google la wicker later today. so let's bring you up to speed now with some other stories making world news to day president. tomorrow's his so co m. bolo, of guinea. bizarre has issued a statement of saying he is safe, and that com has returned to the west african nation. his statement came after heavy gun fire erupt. it in the capitol security forces reportedly repelled an attack on a government compound. ecuador has been hit by a natural disaster. landslides, triggered by flooding, have killed at least 22 people. buildings and cars were swept away in the capital, quito. heavy rains have pounded ecuador for months,

and scientists are blaming global warming. denmark has become the 1st european union countries to lift all of its pandemic restrictions. that includes face masks, vaccination passes, and limited opening hours for bars and restaurants. the move comes despite record numbers of coven 19 infections. the government says it's now relying on denmark's high vaccination rate to cope with the oma kron variant. the world health organization, meanwhile, has warned countries not to lift all their coven 19 restrictions at once. the head of the w. h. o said omicron should not be underestimated and cautioned that the virus is continuing to evolve. while the international community is stepping up diplomatic efforts to defuse the crisis over ukraine, the u. s. and britain are threatening to impose tough new sanctions. if russia invades ukraine, he was secretary of state antony blinkin, has reinforced washington support for give russian president vladimir putin has hit

back. in his 1st remarks on the crisis in a month, he accuses the west of ignoring moscow concerns about security in the region. russia still in dialogue with the u. s. and its allies about ukraine, but president vladimir putin expressed skepticism about the process. so for found my glow nic evil, this is the united states, most important goal is to contain russia. what that's the thing you wouldn't believe in this sense. ukraine itself is just a tool to achieve this goal. this can be done in different ways. one of them is to draw into armed conflict on across the border and give british prime minister boris johnson, met with ukrainian president followed amir zalinski in a press conference. afterwards, johnson warned that war should be avoided at all costs. russia invasion of ukraine would be a political disaster. humanitarian disaster, in my view,

would also be for russia for the world, a military disaster as well. and i, i the out potential invasion completely. the flies in the face of president putin's claims to be acting in the interests of the ukrainian people. but ukraine are not completely relying on diplomacy to protect them. president zalinski announced a huge addition to his nation's army. mobile demos was to shop with volume on the wait for them. we will create a new political co operation format in europe between ukraine, great britain and poland was to be within the next 3 years. we will increase the number of the ukrainian armed forces 210-0000 professional soldiers siena army. in a video released hours before boys johnson's visit, soldiers tested rocket artillery systems, just north of the crimean peninsula, which russia invaded. anne annexed from ukraine in 2014. both sides are preparing

for war. while the diplomats try to make peace. earlier we asked our corresponded nick connelly and keith. if the latest diplomatic efforts by the british prime minister will have helped a situation. why it's definitely all about the optics. it's about a show of diplomatic. so there to the ukraine. you get the sense right now, that volume is lensky basically has little in the way of breaks between all the western european and central european leaders here coming to visit him in kiff is definitely not his usual. we have the polish premise to day tomorrow. the dutch prime minister in town, and there was little in the way of escalation in terms of concrete steps that with threats of sanctions, as you mentioned. but given that they're already being spoke about. now you would imagine that any exposed russian companies would have long done their best to remove any assets from the u. k. y u k jurisdictions. but it, the ukraine's a very happy to see this. this is the sinus, the ukraine population that this issue is not peripheral to the gender across

europe. that europe is paying attention to what's being done here on ukraine's borders. and the u. k. has already provided the ukraine army with anti tank missiles. so that is something that has gone down very well and has been seen as a significant contribution to ukraine's ability to defend itself. and as such, something that sir, makes it more unlikely that russia will actually intervene a cali there for us in chaos. a here in germany, 2 suspects are being held for the killing of 2 police officers during a traffic stop, prosecutors believe the hunters shot dead, the offers officers to avoid being caught ho ching, a legal game. a fatal attack on police are rare in germany, and the case has caused a wide spread outrage. the 2 suspects were arrested on monday evening. police searching their homes found a large number of guns among them. they believed the weapons that took the lives of 2 young police officers. the main suspect of 38 year old man, known as a trader in wild game, has so far remain silent. the other man,

a 32 year old has admitted poaching. but why such deadly violence occurred? remains unclear. prosecutors say the 2 officers were both shot in the head. equally egan, d. o, the female officer still had her pistol in its holster. she may have had a flashlight in her hand and the papers when she cannot have seen it coming. joseph dba are close. the officers were on patrol on a country road. when the fatal incident happened. they found a number of dead animals in a vehicle and was speaking with the occupants when they were shot. they called for help, but by the time their colleagues arrived, it was too late. even seasoned investigators say they've been shocked by the killings. skirt me, thorns are forced upon deutschland. it's not our idea of germany that someone just start shooting on the street with hunting weapons and opens fire just because he might be caught poaching. that's why this case is so disturbing. another stretch to

sing stuff o foster, haven't prosecutors say there does not appear to be any political motive behind this crime. the premier of the state of rhineland, polite in it, where the shooting took place, expressed her dismay of the deaths, pallets i every day police officers are on the streets for us everywhere to protect society, and to be there for the community to sign. and those who attack these officers are attacking the whole of society. the thing of the guns gazette aft on the younger police officer was just 24 years old and still completing her training when she died. that fact can only heightened the sense of disbelief across germany at this tragic loss of life. in a turn now to some sports news from the united states and nfl superstar and 7 times super bowl winner, tom brady has confirmed. he is retiring at the age of $44.00. brady recently hinted that he was considering his future,
