[000:00:00;00] ah, ah ah, this is dina re news life from berlin, sounding the alarm you as president o'brien says, russia could still invade ukraine within days. moscow, his back saying it once, all us forces out of central and eastern europe, also coming up security in the sa help, france prepares to pull counter terrorism forces out of molly. we look at what options are left for keeping the local population safe and the likely fall out for
5:01 pm
the wider region. and at the beijing winter olympics, russian figure skater, camilla volga, who was at the center of a doping scandal, but favor to gold failed to win a metal. ah, i'm like thank you for joining us. the united states has dramatically raised the stakes and the crisis over ukraine. president joe barnes says, the threats of a russian invasion remains very high and could come within days. he chooses moscow if most of misleading the world by claiming its we're drawing its forces from the ukrainian border, while in fact, sending in more troops. that message was reinforced by nato defense ministers. wrapping up a 2 day summit in brussels,
5:02 pm
russia is pressing its own security demand. it wants all us forces out of the region. otherwise it could respond militarily. mine says in evasion of ukraine is still likely a number one, number 2, every the believe that they are de paul flag operations that every indication we have with that that was the u. s. president. so just speaking moments ago, let's take you to washington to our birch there in s pole will join me. now. in a bind says there is a very high threat of a russian invasion. how is the backing up that claim? righty basically is reiterating what he's been saying for the last days, layla that the thread is far from over. and despite the hopes of so many in this world, that the message said,
5:03 pm
put in is putting out there that the troops are being removed from the border is basically false. he is obviously, president biden is obviously referring to the information he gets from his own services. so what we are seeing here, layla is really an information war at full scale and information war in what is seen as an escalate tory development. and american diplomat has been expelled from russia. what more can you tell us about that? right, this is very important because ambassador gorman is the 2nd ranking u. s. diploma. and in russia, a really high position, obviously. so the u. s. believe said, this is an unprovoked escalator reaction despite prudence, a message or the message he tries to put out that the diplomatic doors diplomatic doors are still wide open. so these kind of mixed messages coming from the kremlin,
5:04 pm
are seen here in the u. s. as another prove that pooty in can't be trusted, that the nato alliance has to be ready for all event realities. and in, as the un security council is meeting right now to discuss the situation in east and ukraine. what are we expecting to come out of that meeting? right, your grain has appealed to the un security council to discuss protein smoove to recognize, to the nest region. he said, actually during the press conference or doing the discussion with our german chancellor, it will have shawls in moscow that genocide is happening there, which obviously is not verified information. so you green believe said this political action of putin undermines the minsk agreement and a possible peace process or russian state media on the other side, on the other hand, are saying that putting believes that the minsk agreement has not been exhausted.
5:05 pm
so this will be in the core of this discussion and i mean, we are not expecting any resolution, but this is a very, very important indicator. i what we have to expect to come over the next couple of days. washington bureau chief in his paul reporting in as thank you and violence has flared in the ukranian region of low hans, which is controlled by pro russian separatists. ukraine's military has accused separatist forces of firing shells on a village, damaging a kindergarten and wounding 3 civilians. earlier, russian backed forces accused ukraine of opening fire on their territory. the flare up is adding to tensions between kiva and moscow. ukraine says it still has not seen any proof that russian troops are pulling back from its border. for days, russia has said its troops are withdrawing from areas near the border with ukraine
5:06 pm
and returning to their bases. moscow released this footage of tanks and military vehicles being moved. but nato allies and ukraine are not reassured. they believe these claims are misleading. so daughter called last, why the school the situation is being watched, while military, even though preventable, we do not see any changes now, which will risk we do see a large buildup of troops. it has not changed in recent weeks. teaching we are seeing small rotations, i see in another law, which i would not call these rotations withdrawal of forces by russia. we cannot say that when a more than looks across the lobby. these images from a u. s. satellite company appeared to show military forces still present along the ukrainian border in bel routes and crimea, a territory, russia, and next from ukraine in 2014. nato members claimed that instead of withdrawing,
5:07 pm
russia is massing further forces. they say $7000.00 additional troops have moved close to ukraine over the last few days. for the west. tangible signs of d escalation on the russian side are yet to be seen the missing. and now we have to watch closely whether these words are followed by actions. most importantly, how sustainable these actions are, meaning which troops are actually being withdrawn for those relevant to preventing an attack. and that is what we will have to monitor closely. we also cannot assume that something like this happens in a matter of hours. i don't think a sheet tensions remain high, but some people in ukraine say they don't feel an invasion is imminent issue that i don't think there's any danger. that's my opinion. i don't think there's any water level coming up because you know, crane and russia is always on war since 2014 i give this a pull to go thing you know,
5:08 pm
you have to deal with. i think there's no chance you know my coach and we'll take that risk, i'll conclude. but ukraine and nato countries remain on alert. they say the threat has not yet receded. the us and others have been warning that russia would use a false flag event as pretext foreign invasion. earlier i spoke to our ukraine correspondence nicoli, who's in harkey near the border with russia. and i began by asking him how we would recognize a false flag if it happens. i guess with great difficulty depending on the competition . so going it out. but definitely that is something that the u. s. intelligence agencies have been briefing on something they think might happen, they talk to effect videos of atrocities against civilian population by the ukrainian or authorities. and there has been a speculation here in ukraine that maybe there would be shelling of civilians in that separate controlled area, which would then be attributed to the ukrainian government that is important.
5:09 pm
remember that russia has handed out hundreds of thousands of passports to people to ukraine, citizens living in that separate control territory. so russia would have the pretext of protect, of protecting it's possible old as there are all these options seemingly on the table now, or to worry that that is what russia is now looking to do to create a cause for war. a reason for war, we heard vladimir putin restates his claims, that rush, but ukraine rather was guilty of court genocide against that population living there. so very strong turns coming from moscow and a sense that russia is looking for some kind of justification for an intervention here and ukraine. nicoli reporting other moments ago. let's take a look at the other stories in the headlines right now. a russian researcher has gone on trial in munich, charged with spying on herbs, arianne space walker program. the man only identified as ill nor anne was arrested last year. prosecutor say, the suspect was working at a bavarian university when he allegedly passed information to russian intelligence

5:12 pm
election post the 2nd coin money. and finally, i would say the straw that broke the camel's back was the expulsion of french ambassador to maggie very recently. and this growing was deleted from molly's new governing military shoot up towards the danish contingent of acrobat. but being the european special forces a recently launched operation. what is the security situation right now in the st. helen also put this in perspective for us. has it improved or deteriorating? deteriorated rather, during the time that the french troops were on the ground, the situation has been progressively deteriorating since the french mission was launched. this doesn't mean that the french than back can was entirely non successful. it only means that the situation has never been worse. and what we could expect for the future is certainly once but can, will leave. there will be
5:13 pm
a vacuum of security in the short term, but also we will be able to see potentially a push for negotiations with some of these are groups. for example, al qaeda affiliated ashima in the region and also a potential smaller recruitment base for rooms once france leaves. because one of their rhetoric points was that but can was invading a sovereign territory. i think we will also see much more reliance on our power now, which of course, we know presents a number of risks for civilians. given what the u. s. experience withdrawn, strikes has been, for example, what does the grow, the greatest threat for the local population right now? it's certainly a mix of threats. her arm groups are one of the major threats in the region. and of course, my, the un peacekeeping operations operation is, is able to tell us every 3 months what the threats for civilians are. so i'm groups are one of them, but then 2nd,
5:14 pm
