we'll go live tall correspondent or said jabari in moscow. profess this report from shebra town. see in washington dc. we have reason to believe the russian forces are planned into an intend to attack ukraine. on friday, joe biden stumped. many of us allies categorically stating loudly my fusion had made up his mind to invade ukraine. in the coming days. and on sunday, the president convened a meeting of his national security council to discuss the situation ahead of that meeting. the us secretary of state reaffirmed despite the president's announcement diplomacy was still an option until it settled until we know that the the tanks rolling. the planes are flying and the aggression has, has fully begun. we're going to do everything we kinda prevented, but we're prepared either way and we're prepared with a responsive will have massive consequences for russia. it actually carries the through. lincoln said he hoped, a forthcoming meeting this week with his russian counterpart would address both preventing war and addressing mutual security concerns for the us, europe and russia in d

ok, thanks for mel dosa jabari in moscow. moving to tears now his andrew simmons, andrew, actually this is kind of what you always preview to when i last spoke to you. and i last news, are you saying there was a list of things almost which had been claimed and an encounter claimed. and now we can add this one to it. most certainly this split isn't coming as a huge surprise to the officials here and indeed, ministers and military commanders. but it has to be said, it is serious. there's no doubt about lat, are they, in the midget responses to words, fake news, and the information was a, has escalated, i would say much more than the actual military situation. are you talking about a $150000.00 troops? well, you're also talking about millions of words, not all of them true about what is going on right now. dos are. busy outlined the situation in the to break away republics in the southeast of this country where there is a, a wall of its own going on. and she outlined the position in terms of the alarm that was raised by da nets

ok shortly we'll be live to dorothy jabari who's in moscow and to natasha butler who's in ki, if at 1st it's going to need fokker, who is in brussels need. so a nato defense ministers meeting there will be a lot to talk about. yes, absolutely. and of course, ordinarily this is a kind of mating whether be talking about nato expansion, about deepening ties with existing nato countries, but overshadowing everything of course, the deteriorating security situation at nice in europe and what the defense secretaries of those native countries are here to do is to consolidate that position and to decipher the intelligence that they have when it comes to these latest pieces of shreds of information from russia, that some troops have been indeed withdrawn from around ukraine speaking a head off this summit, the insulting burg on tuesday said that he was encouraged by that, but in no way should this be seen as a de escalation, given the significant size of russian forces around the country. at the moment, we're talking about heavy weaponry. we're talking about a field hospitals that have been set u

let's go to dorset jabari, who is in moscow for us. those are what is the events at the last 24 hours? what does it mean now for the diplomatic path that we've been focusing on at the last couple of days and the future of the cycle mince agreement? i think it's become very clear, even though we've been hearing from various russian officials saying that they're still very much interested in a continuing on that to put diplomatic pass that that path is now become much more difficult to continue. i want to talk about what is happening in the state legislature, the duma that we just saw. pictures of this is a session where the parliamentarians are, we'll decide about whether or not to recognize certain areas as in don't boss region as part of the separatists health regions that have been declared as independence by vladimir putin. i think this is an important point because if we see on a map very clearly at their regions of le ganske and don yeske within dumbass are not all completely held by this separatists are leaders. they are holding

we'll find out more from dorset. jabari was standing by for a mosque about 1st. let's go to katrina you with the latest in beijing. so our chinese authorities viewing this visit and what are they getting out of it? well, it's certainly very important. there are a number of important leaders and dignitaries arriving already in china for the beginning of the winter olympics. but putin is really being loaded as the most important guests to come to china. these 2 are clearly trying to put on a show of unity, a shows strengthen a possible counterweight to the powers of the u. s. and other european and west and allies. and when it comes to ukraine. of course, china has said that russia's legitimate security concerns need to be listened to both foreign ministers of these 2 countries mess and aging yesterday, where they said they coordinated that positions on the board. attentions. this doesn't necessarily mean that they would welcome any attack or invasion of ukraine . paging itself has very good ties with care. it's an important trading partner. member of china is buil

the 2 leaders both said the talks were constructive, torso jabari reports from moscow meeting, as if old friends, after 2 and a half years apart, reunited in moscow. russian president vladimir putin clearly happy to see his french counterpart, emanuel micron finally face to face. the 2 leaders spoke briefly in the kremlin before meeting behind closed doors were emerging after several hours. but that you previously, delaware, our talks with macro, according to tradition, were businesslike, useful, and substantive. we have good understanding that macro visited russia to speak about global and european security questions for which supporting our country's as permanent members of the united nations security council, especially responsible for the french president firmly positioning himself as the peacemaker in the middle of this crisis. the pony remoted, innocently. the 1st element is the necessity to work. pressed to avoid escalation, let growing tensions increase the risk of seeing a brutal deterioration of continents balance of power and stability in it would be no one's interest. bec

as go to a correspondent dawson jabari was live in moscow. so what next now, what does this mean for the diplomatic path in the future? if the so called mince agreement, i think m most analysts have spoken to here agreed that when vladimir putin signed those, it decrease. recognizing the independence of 2 m regions in ukraine. he pretty much signed away any hope of a future for that minsk agreement. and this is something the russians have said wasn't working in the 1st place for a past few months. the president himself was accusing ukraine of violating this agreement. but i think it's important to point out that in this 13 point agreement that was signed in 2015 there were areas established at for these m separatist groups at to be in. and that was a only 32 percent of the area within the ganske. and don yeske, it wasn't the entire areas in don bass. i think that's important to highlight them . of course it was a contact zone, a contact line that was as well, establish a 420 kilometer contact line. what is the main question here now is what w

we'll have more on that phone call when we speak to dorsey jabari in moscow in just a few minutes. but 1st we go to our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins in washington. kimberly, so an important phone call today between president biden and the russian leader. what can we expect? yeah, that's set to take place at any moment. what we know from the call that already took place between the foreign ministers, both antony blank and an survey. lab rav, is that what was communicated and will be communicated. when the 2 presidents take to the telephone is that the diplomatic path remains open. this is something that the united states has been repeatedly saying that is a taking a dual track deterrence and diplomacy. so the diplomatic path remains open, but that moscow needs to de escalate in the eyes of the united states needs to engage in good faith discussions. if there is an alternative path that is decided by i decided on by vladimir putin then in the eyes of the west, what will happen will be a resolute, massive united, trans atlantic response. and so to that end, what we know

live to dos jabari in moscow for his door. so we've been hearing from the russian defense ministry in the last few minutes what he had to say. well sir, j. chicago has been meeting his british counterparts. and at the opening statements of that meeting, he made it very clear that the political and military attentions that are escalating is not because of russia. the russian defense minister said that at the current situation is really something that the british defense minister has to explain. one specific question he has for him is why there are a british soldiers training ukrainian, a military personnel in kiev and how many of them there are there and when will they leave? this is something he wants answers to. and the russian defense minister also said that at the current state of relationships between moscow and london are, is close to 0. of course that comes at the heel of a visits by list trust the british foreign secretary who was here on thursday meeting her russian counterpart, sergey love. rob and that meeting is bei

we have dorothy jabari standing by for us and moscow. but 1st let's get reaction from katrina. you from beijing, so both countries are on the same side when it comes to ukraine. what is the message that they're sending out? well, that's right. so these 2 countries really want to portray a united fund and strength in that partnership that they have together. so both leaders on, as we speak, sitting down together in a baiting state house known as w ty, be getting that meeting. and afterwards she didn't paying in president who said, we'll go away for some private lunch we've heard. now, china has said to the world, but russia's legitimate security concerns need to be addressed. and the foreign ministers from both countries met yesterday in beijing ahead of the meeting of these leaders. and they said that they coordinated positions on ukraine. now this isn't necessarily mean that aging would support a welcome many sort of invasion or attack on ukraine. aging itself has very good relations with kia. it's an important trading partner, kevin passive, beijing's belton road infrastructu

and the french president is in moscow for talks with president vladimir putin dasa jabari has more now from moscow. before departing for moscow, a menu micron spoke to the u. s. president joe biden saying, don't expect any major breakthroughs and that i don't expect russia.

so dorsey jabari life was there in moscow next door. so let's go back to heidi's, jocasta. now in washington d. c fours i saw it is still very early there in a morning in washington, but we are expecting to get more reaction on what's happened in ukraine over the last few hours or from, from the u. s. leadership there. that's why we've heard in statements from president biden. he actually released 2 statements since this russian invasion began him both using very strong language to condemn this violation of international laws. he puts it at one of those statements was actually a transcript now transcript, rather a read out of a phone call between president zalinski of ukraine and president biden made in the early moments of this military invasion in which biden says zalinski asked him to call on the leaders of the world to speak out clearly against president putin's flagrant aggression and to stand with the people of ukraine. and since the time we have seen us allies from across the globe taking that stands, we have heard statements from australia, from the e. u from south

vate, ukraine dos jabari with more now for moscow. the important point is that vladimir putin wants to talk about specific.

a demand still being refused by the united states. dorsey jabari al jazeera moscow tougher restrictions being brought back in hong kong as it battles reco cove. at 19 cases, chief executive terry lab announced that new measures including the closure of religious venues and new limits of public gatherings. some yacoma getting adams on the given this severe pandemic. i have to publicly accept that. we have to go back to this most stringent level. we will be introducing a ban across timely gatherings, even in private, and will increase a penalty for those who don't comply with the compulsory testing requirements. if they don't comply, the fine will now be doubled. a triple detail with brit credits, whose life for us in hong kong. what else to carry alarm announced today. brit was he heard there adrian, a huge range of restrictions and for dues. they will now be benz on, on a certain gatherings in the, even in the household, which is something that we haven't heard before. we do know that jim's and, and basel already shot now, places of worship will also have to be closed and hassan's littl

for how long that is for unclear grocer, jabari with the latest the on that from moscow door. so thank you. well, meanwhile, people living in areas controlled by russian back separatists in eastern ukraine say that they feel trapped between opposing sides as tensions flare. charles stratford has worn out from gwinnett skin eastern new cray. the situation here in the nets, the capital of the self declared the nets, people's republic control by the separatists remains calm, but our increasing concerns amongst people living here. people we've spoken to said that they feel a sense of isolation from the rest of the world, a sense of potentially be trapped between 2 opposing forces. this is a region that has suffered dramatically in recent years in the years since this conflict started 8 years ago. of course, no political solution yet to stop even basic cease fire violations. the o. s. e. and the last couple of days, the organization for security and cooperation saying that they had seen increasing violations. why both sides. interestingly though they had said that sir, they said th

thanks dawson, jabari, reporting from moscow. she has been since that news break very early this morning when store so rights are we going to the cona? not, we're not going to the you cannot, will do with that. and the moment there has been reaction out of there. let's to show you some of the latest pictures that we've seen. there was a year from fire and smoke that we saw coming from key of a little bit earlier. our correspondent was actually on air at the time we're preparing to go, and that's andrew simmons and her in the background. we saw a column of smoke coming up behind him. and now we've managed to get some slightly closer pictures showing that a file that's going on there, we believe, haven't got it confirmed, but that could be an intelligence at building or intelligence target. and you see people throwing your papers on to the fire there. now, the ambassador, who you saw a little bit early, the ukrainian ambassador cutter, who was in the studio with us, said that there were no military targets in the middle of key f. i

let's bring in dosage of ira jabari who's lived for us in moscow. hello there, dosa. we are standing by for an official press conference with both trust and lab from. in the meantime, want multi tell us about their discussions. well, the 2 foreign ministers clearly have their own agendas, and we have to remember that this meeting was at the request of the british government for the british foreign secretary to come to moscow. and sergei love rob only confirm that just few days ago that they've agreed to have this meeting. as the british foreign secretary is here with really 2 main goals objectives. one is to spell out that the sanctions package that the british government is prepared in case russia invade ukraine will be very, very much at not only detrimental to the russian economy, but also will hit vladimir putin's inner circle. they have, they, but russians have a lot of investments in the u. k, especially the property market. and the british government has said that those are the ones that will also be included in any kind of sanctions that they would impose . an

okay. de also jabari with the lightest from moscow. thank you. let's build on what dosa was talking about. there. the russian troops and military equipment, wood from mains on that bella russian border with you cried. and the 2 countries holding joint military exercises, auto bill how made went to find out how old out is affecting the lives of people who live along ukraine's northern border. a didn't know viet elevate, she border crossing is business as usual. about a 1000 people transit through here every day. going to and coming from bella luce on the other side, russian. bella russo holding joint military exercises, but no sign of that here. still devoted guards say on high alert and prepared. but how listless to you to keep due to a book and here it depends on the forces which will oppose us. and on the situation we will face. the only thing i can say, i said there are units ready to react in case of any threat coming from the neighboring country. there's little to show in terms of military build up on the ukrainian side of the crossing. this

i beg your pardon with go to dorsey jabari, who is life for us in moscow? so dorsey, it's quite a lot has happened over the last few hours and we heard from the russian president earlier this morning, and we understand that should be more reaction from the government there in the coming out what we just heard from the russian defense ministry who said that there is no danger for ukraine's civilian population and that they're targeting military installations within ukraine. and this, of course, comes, as we've heard from the russian president, to send in a military operation to take place in dunbar. as we've been reporting, the military operation is now on many fronts. and the main goal here for the russian army is to try and de state the militarize, the country. that is what let me put once. and these air strikes have been the 1st phase of that's the defense ministry saying reports of any of russian jets being shut down by the ukranian air force are false and they're denying it. and we now understand that the russian president, alexander, of the christian c

and the french president is due in moscow for talks with president vladimir putin, joseph jabari, with more now from moscow. the general consensus here is that emanuel micron, who shares a good and close relationship with president vladimir putin, is the highest level diplomat to make this trip to moscow in an attempt to try and keep the lines of negotiation a dialogue ongoing and to make it a point to say that russia has a right to have its concerns and that we have to really engage in dialogue to be able to get out of the situation that we're in, which many here think it's very much a complicated one. the other headlines for you a you and report says north korea used cyber attacks to fund it's nuclear and ballistic missile program. the report indicates pyongyang stole at least $50000000.00 of crypto currency in the last 2 years. rob mcbride following this one from sol. this does follow a pattern, we do know that north korea has been accused now for years of being involved in all sorts of nefarious international criminal activity as a way of getting much needed foreign reserves to bas

thank you so much. dorothy jabari reporting from moscow. let's find out more about that. a scheduled phone call between the u. k prime minister boards, johnson and the russian president later today we're a challenge will bring us up to speed on that, rory. well, certainly it shows as dough. so as to saying that the diplomatic channels a still open that these lead is around the world are still talking to each other. and that is obviously a good thing. interestingly, the call was postponed. it was supposed to be taking place yesterday, but because bar johnson had to stand up in front of parliament and address the country on the party gate scandal had to reschedule the conversation to today. not quite what, but in a person makes of the hats. that dynamic will only have to guess. certainly, it's impossible to imagine the russian president's having to go through anything similar with the tightly controlled or socratic system that he's built around himself over the last 20 years or so. but britain's perspective here, it's strategic calculus as ever as a mixture of interests and

let's tend to dorsey jabari, who is in moscow for us. let's start with those comments, by se galeb rove who we've had from in the last hour saying ukraine doesn't have a right to sovereignty such comments. don't bode well for anyone thinking that diplomacy is still an option. do they? well, certainly not, but i think the russian foreign minister was making a, the argument that has been made by the russian presidents that they are interpreting a certain article within the un charter and to really justify the reason for them declaring a recognizing independence of these i to break away regents, i think it's important to also highlight that to these state legislature, the duma in moscow just in the past hour has ratified the presidential documents that latimer put in signed last night. and they have recognized as the independent states of done yet. and begins with in the borders that there are leaderships and say that they are in control of. and i think this is an important point. if we look at a map of that area at the leadership's in thos

all right, thanks for that. dawson dawson, jabari life 1st there in moscow will go back to kiev. now i'm bringing hollis shell . s. c is the director of security programs at the think tank ukrainian prison. she joins us from odessa now in southern ukraine. i appreciate your patience. thanks for being with us. so i want to ask you, 1st of all about because you are in, in southern ukraine. right? now just talk to us a little bit if you can about what's happening there at the moment. and the current situation in the mood arm, the moon, the very calm of the cds. and she has been writing early in the morning and i'm living in the downtown. there is new cars the wrong just few. most of the shops are close. so people are trying to get out to. the c port is closed for operation. however, they have the basic stop there in terms of security and safety of navigation and gaze of necessity. what we had yesterday late in the night that the russians captured the small island, which is 30 miles from odessa. there were no civilians there bought some of the water officers and they'd be have a li s

between president putin and the french president emanuel my call when we speak to algiers. dorsey jabari in moscow. our white house correspondent kimberly hancock, is standing by with reaction from washington. at 1st we go to natasha butler, who's in the ukrainian capital key. ed natasha, the ukranian president, calling on people not to panic, but several countries already withdrawing their diplomatic staff and urging their citizens to leave ukraine. ah, it is not an easy position at all for the ukrainian prison voted me as lensky as you say. he is calling for calm. he's calling on people not to panic, and that's pretty much been his message over the past few days and weeks. he is saying the business of life must go on as usual. but at the same time, of course, what is happening in ukraine. the reality here in kiev is those several countries have decided to advise their citizens to get out of the country as soon as possible, and that they really need to stay here. and on top of that, you have the u. s. embassy pulling out all of it's a diplomatic stuff. so all of that's of course is maki

thank you for that door, said jabari in moscow. well, this all comes as russia is holding military drills with bella rose not far from the border with ukraine. fet boss enjoys is now alive from that border between bella, roost and ukraine. what is the situation there with those thrills? ah, jackie, this is the i'm a high away running from the city of whole mile in the south east of the roof, all the way to the capital of ukraine, kia, if you go that way, it's around 200 kilometers here to the previous capital. and this is also seen as the fastest route in a case that russia would invade from ballard into ukraine. and meanwhile, as you say, this joint operation, these joint drills between bellows and russia ongoing here in this area, there's several air fields and different training grounds in this whole region where i, i am right now trainings going on drills going on. there are any fun systems right near this being tested by the russians, right now, there are 400 miss on the phone system. so. so cory of fi, 2 jobs at display activ

jabari, let's talk the sort of larger implications of this you think to the nfl and the power of thed listen, it's an impactful lawsuit. brian flores showed a -- it's a bold move, courageous move because he may not never get a job in the nfl again should you find more coaches join this class action, so the nfl has to respond and we'll see what they say about they don't think there's any wrongdoing, but that's the legal process you get more coaches to join into this and this gets to the system then you talk about possibly running to the nfl owner's money because let's say it's a billion dollar pay out now and now you're talking revenue and maybe that effects changed but at the same time this is the stage one of a very long fight it can get to a point where you start to see more coaches join it and if that's the case that could mean more trouble for the nfl. >> patrick, of course, the nfl put in place what they're calling the rooney rule close to 20 years and that's in part to what he is suggesting was the reason he was even given this interview, and he's argued it was a sham interview

let's bring in dawson jabari in at moscow. hello. they dasa prudent had said that these military drills are not a threat to any other country. what else did you take out of that? well, he made it very clear during this press conference following and nearly to our meeting with his bell russian counterpart, alexander lucas shinkel put in said that these are collective measures, these military drills that have been ongoing since february, early february between the 2 countries. he said that they are to strengthen the country securities in their capabilities, their defensive case of capabilities. and he said, the drills that have been named allied resolve or are totally defensive in nature. and all the relevant parties in the area were informed well in advance. so there is no reason for this hysteria that's been created by these war games that have been ongoing and they will come to an end on february 20th. that is sunday. the a russian president also seemingly very happy to stress they strong relationship. he has with bella, bruce and t

now daughter jabari is live for us in moscow. so daughter we were getting reports of the that the israeli prime minister has been talking to president putin one more hearing on that well, apparently this was a phone conversation that was initiated by these really prime minister in italy bennett on earth sunday to discuss the ongoing situation in ukraine with lottery potent during that phone conversation. these really prime minister at told vladimir putin that he was ready and willing to mediate talks between russia and ukraine to try and resolve this ongoing conflict. the russian president said that if course he was willing to negotiate, but he said that it was that the government in kiev that was not taking the opportunity to come to the table to have this discussion. this is something vladimir put and said was a missed opportunity on their part and talk as well about a wall discussion rather about the possibility of more talks between, of any kind of talks actually, between russia and ukrainian, or representatives in bella roos

the day was overshadowed by the crisis between russia and ukraine. dasa jabari spoke to some of those attending the ceremony. ah, a solemn reminder of the dark days of rushes past. the commander in chief of the armed forces commemorating defender of the fatherland day, which honors war, veterans, and all russians who lost their lives defending their country. prior to the reef playing ceremony by the tomb of the unknown soldiers near the kremlin president vladimir putin released the video message to the nation. but with a clear warning for the world. no prefer you to repeat russia's interests and the security of our people and indisputable priority. so we will continue to threaten and modernize our, i'm in the navy thriving to increase their effectiveness for their faded out with the most cut in h equipment. ah, an independent polling group says the majority of russians believe their presidents over 50 percent of people surveyed at the start of the ukraine crisis back in december. believe the united states and nato countries are responsible for increasing tensions. events like this to
