u. k. of course, the government here in the u. k. very came to deflect from it's, i'm very severe domestic differences of course. and as your correspondence said, in respect to the rest years now that has also worked in the u. k. the issues that johnson, for example, the government are facing domestically pretty much disappeared from adeline said the last few days to be replaced with the kinds situation. but i think behind the scenes, of course, i think all governments recognize that, notwithstanding some of the strident tone of those such, sometimes want to push for war, at least conflict or at least em antagonism. and here we can think about, for example, nato, who afterwards, very existence depends on the russian threats under the threats that are set to exist against the west. then it's not in the interest of anybody, especially people in your crime, especially people in europe, or whether in russia, germany, france, or feather field. the company would have, but would have broken out. that doesn't mean to say that the danger is over,

u. k. have very high vaccination rights and that's why they're able to lift restrictions. but we've also been hearing all along that vaccination alone isn't enough. so how do those opposing viewpoints come together? yeah, i mean, i think one of the problems is that we're conflating both infection with actual severe disease and, and to large extent, the role of vaccines is not that good at preventing infection, although it does prevent a substantial proportion of infections. but what vaccines are very good at and remain good, even with new variants, is preventing severe disease, preventing hospitalizations and preventing deaths. and so at some point, we have to accept that this virus isn't going away. it's going to be with us for decades to come. but hopefully, we won't see the same, and i think it unlikely that we'll see anywhere near the same severity of disease, the number of deaths and the number of hospitalizations that we have. and so we ultimately have to come to some sort of balance echo librium with this virus because we will, the other corona viruses typically cau

u. k. press and through all the various ministers was going on under the surface. so it's very bizarre situation to say the least. they're sort of late to the party and politically anyway, the u. k, but they're very active, of course of i and nato behind the scenes. so look at the bottom line here is, this is one of the biggest ever sort of virtual build ups to war in history. i mean, this is a propaganda operation. the likes, which has never been undertaken in modern times. and we, we've seen various types of prop, again, with the war on terror, but not with sort of a conventional war warfare or with a sort of, you know, made to major powers. going out to this level. so this is like new territory. so the question is, what is the objective here for the west and there's a number of major pieces on the table. obviously there's geopolitically, you know, the u. s. is wanting to renegotiate just about every sort of major agreement this left over from the cold war era, from various missile agreements that is backed out of, but also sort of, you know, defensive arrangements. reciproca

u. k. very fast, but it's had a yawn. so other parts of northern europe and beyond. of course, we'll come back to you for more of an update as the day progresses for the moment i really challenging for us in london. thank you. now, the dutch prime minister has apologized for systematic and widespread, extreme violence during indonesia war of independence. margareta says the government takes responsibility for the war. crimes committed in the former colony, victoria gate b reports. news from indonesia were these nomadic pictures about forces taking action against republicans for decades. the dutch government said the army had done nothing wrong, as it attempted to regain control of their former colony during intern easiest 4 year long war of independence. that started in 1945. but his study by dutch researches has concluded the army did commit war crimes against civilians, and that political and military leaders largely ignored the attacks. the dutch prime minister said the findings are harsh but unavoidable, and issued an apology for what he called a collective failu

u. k. very good to have you with a samuel. so the kremlin saying right now that it wants to avoid conflict, but it seems to be doing everything to provoke one why. why is ukraine important to russia and why would they invade it now? well, it says so too early to tell with a rush is actually going to invade ukraine. it does seem as if the diplomatic concessions that they wandered from the west, specially regarding nato expansion, security guarantees, and nato forces. ne, eastern europe are not being met. and that might lead to a more limited tactical military intervention, or that re seizure of give, was abundantly clear of this is 3 decades of russian policy. russia is not the ukraine to be a fully sovereign state. and when ukraine makes any movement towards the last, economically, or in a security sense, or seem to be doing that, russia feels compelled to intervene. so you think there's a strategic goal from moscow? here you think the goal is just negotiations and not a full blown invasion wifi, the full blown invasion will b

u. k. y u k jurisdictions. but it, ukraine's a very happy to see this. this is a sign of the ukranian 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 economy for us and keep it there. now let's change our round up and some other stories making news f, as our denmark has become the 1st european union country to lift all of its pandemic restrictions that include 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 omicron variance. the world health organization, meanwhile,

u. k. will very kindly name a cockroach after your ex. is it such an insult though? and another conservationists actually point out cockroaches are a vital part of the global ecosystem. ah, well, this is out as they are and these are the top stories. germany's chancellor has met ukraine's president brought him his zalinski in kiff or shelter says any russian attack on ukraine will be met with a strong response. he'll go to moscow to meet president putin on tuesday. on this hold on was done off the bush. we encourage russia to use these offers of discussions. we emphasize again, in any case of military escalation, we have agreed with our allies and we are ready to undertake and implement very serious sanctions. the territorial integrity of ukraine should not be violated. and if it does happen, we know exactly what to do by ukraine's president. those will continue to pursue nato membership. he said it was a vital issue for his country's security and territorial integrity. my would, you know, i, li, us, so nice for our future alliances. our ambitions, you know very well

u. k. will very kindly name a cockroach after your ex. is it such an insult though? and another conservationists actually point out cockroaches are a vital part of the global ecosystem. ah, well, this is out as a run. these are the top stories. germany's chancellor has met ukraine's president brought him his zalinski in care of. of shots says any russian attack on ukraine will be met with a strong response. he'll go to moscow to meet president putin on tuesday, on your fraud and was done off the bush. we encourage rush.

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 yo

i don't believe that is very suitable for the other countries. the u. k. of course, calling for diplomacy based dialogue, but at the same time sending more troops to poland. well, if you will take on love, it syndic more. the ropes to the campus which are so called new members of nato, is prohibited by the following agreements between the russian leader by the founding act. they did 1997, which does not allow the appearance of nuclear weapons and major troops on the day of new countries. now they are increasing troops in the baltics and in poland. and this will lead us to destruction over the left. both of their last agreement that is restraining this type of work. the music teachers miss andre colin, russia's ambassador to the u. k. thank you very much for sparing us some time today . we really appreciate it. okay, i'm ready. thanks to you for joining us here on all t international. we'll be back in just a few minutes. the top of the i see them. ah ah ah mm oh, oh so many different surprises. you know, such as sufficient rod not quite to make those organs

u. k. government will be very worried about this putting pressure on the d. u p to a point somebody else, but it's very unclear what happens next us present. joe biden has outlined his plans to tackle rising cases of gun crime. it comes after 2 police officers were killed in new york by didn't address offices that the city's police department already are promising to provide them with the necessary training and funding. he also called on communities to work together and build trust. today, the attorney general director all us attorneys in the united states to prioritize combating gun trafficking across state lines and city boundaries. the justice department is sending additional process to resources to help shut down what's referred to as you all know in the iron pipeline. that funnels guns from shops stays like jord to the crime scene in baltimore, philadelphia, new york. and so many other places. i'll just here as cable alexander has moved from new york, the public is worried for the most part about the increased crime throughout the united states and increa

u. k. sanctioning the following 5 russian banks, rossier. i s bank jim, but general bank a property as bank and the black sea bank and we are sanctioning 3 very high net worth in vigils. any assets they hold in the u. k. will be frozen. the individuals concerned will be banned from travelling here. and we hold further sanctions at readiness to be deployed alongside united states and european union. if the situation escalates still further, life nazi london and our correspondent, they're not in bar, but not in how much money. how much is this all worth? the sanctions package that mr. johnson is talking about well peter, i don't have that figure for you, but i know that it's not enough for a huge range of politicians that were listening there in parliament. boris johnson speak a while ago, both from his own conservative party, from the opposition labor party and the smaller opposition liberal democratic party as well. they were all extremely disappointed in what he's announced. those fine banks in 3 individuals subject to those measures. some of them pointed out that the individuals was already under american sanctions imposed in 2018 boris joh

u. k. y u k jurisdictions. but it, ukraine's a very happy to see this. this is the sinus, the ukrainian population that this issue is not peripheral to the agenda 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. russian president vladimir putin, he broke his silence to day. we hadn't heard from him since mid december of last year. and he's accusing the united states of using ukraine to contain russia. now, is that something that is even on the radar in ukraine? i mean, do they see that as being possible at all or do they feel like they're being used as a geopolitical pollen by the grim i think for ukrainians. the fact that they are going to be, as long as they are not part of nature, not part of the you or n

u. k. and canada on the very simple fact that in case there's any further military aggression by russia against ukraine, we will respond with severe consequences of massive costs for russia. and here, there is a complete alignment. we still hope that diplomacy has not spoken his last word. we hope for the best, but we are prepared for the worst you said at the moment is that russia is trying to create a pretext to actually respond to something that happens in ukraine. this potentially hybrid move fast. so when would be the moment that the you have to decide to take action? well actually, if you look at the past weeks, month and for ukraine even years, the constant hybrid attacks, for example, cyber attacks have intensified now or building a full narrative. trying to find a pretext for increased pressure by russia, ukraine. and therefore, what we do is the moment we see the development of a false narrative for both flex pretext when operation. we debunk that, we make it public to make it almost impossible for us to build on these false narrative. and the 2nd part is so important. we are offering

u. k. seeing some very, very strong winds, winds as high as a $140.00 companies per hour in exposed parts. and there will be some snow cost northern england pushing up into scotland as well. that where to weather that winter weather, grassy, making his way over to ward, said denmark, pushing across germany further east things starting to quieten down as rain and snow moves east. ah, the weather sponsored by katara always. oh, stories of life and inspiration. oh, oh. s series of short document trees from around the world that celebrate the human spirit against the oaks. oh, how does your select express himself? ah ah, what geology era? a reminder about top stories, this l. u. s. president joe bought and says he at west and allies believe a russian invasion of ukraine is still a distinct possibility. but he insists diplomacy must be given a chance. ukraine is holding a day of national unity in the face of the russian military presence, merits border president, vote uminski called on citizens to show resilience to waive the national flag. a former soldier has deserted me and mas ami has told

u. k. has made it very clear that they're not going to send troops here. so just create one big headache for the entire population of the don bass and defacto, a headache for russia that is at low cost to the u. k. and the u. s. in nature and nato in general. and i think that's exactly what they're going to do. go ahead, sir. well, it is. let me just say it's low cost for the wars and for corporate power. you know what it is costing the people of the us. i'm talking about working people in the military expenditures are draining every every social program in the united states the day are huge source of profit. yes. and frank gas would be even more profitable . but the military expenditures very profitable at the same time, life expectancy in the u. s. is like 31st globally. it's, it's one of the lowest in the developing world and 38th and in education, basic education, we can look at figures on infant mortality and maternity care housing infrastructure. they really reflect. it's kind of off topic, but i mean not having a reasonable health care system. the u

u. k. prime minister, very strong language. he seemed to be saying we cannot normalize this by doing nothing but 1st trying of sanctions big wow. largely symbolic excuse my cynicism. second france of sanctions. they will clearly have a talk that impact on a lot of people who are very wealthy, but have got money sucked away in other locations apart from london and the new york stock exchange. of course they have. so what other uh, the outside military plan is the nato military plan is thinking about now on what they capable of doing. while i share your cynicism for the reasons that you just mentioned, it's almost as if europe is just waking up to the fact that it's got a dependence on russian natural gas. and that the u. k. u k is a wash with dirty russian money. no kidding, now is the time to do something about it. so as 101520 years ago, putting that aside, i think the strategy for nato right now becomes raising the cost to the kremlin, so arming the ukrainians and basically messaging to putting that should this conflict drag

u. k. in norway, i've also put bands and of course many as a sizable population of very well healed russians in the u. k. and no ways a neighboring country of russia. it's going to make it very difficult for russians to go anywhere at this stage on russian aircraft. and of course, the russians are banned many european aircraft, so increasingly difficult links between russia and the rest of the world. again, i think the idea is to isolate vladimir putin and those around him. ok, thank you so much for medic, editor jones phase reporting from brussel fil a head on al jazeera. that's more countries ban russian plains, have you been hearing from their earth base will ask a former pilot, how that could impact russia, the asian industry, and hundreds arrested during process taking place right now in st. petersburg against muscles invasion. all ukraine will have more on that after the break. ah, ah, look forward to burritos, guys. with the sponsored play cut on airways. hello, welcome to your world's weather report for the middle east and africa. nice to see you. we do have some energy working acros

good that just just today we saw how the russian defense minister was just in a very diplomatic mood in dealing with the u. k. defense secretary, he said that it's very simple to, to, to, you know, reduce tensions around the ukraine conflict. the west has to stop arming. the we'd like to propose a step towards reducing tensions, and then the pumping up of ukraine with weapons from abroad. that's being done publicly and significantly, and it's not entirely clear why. i'd also like to understand why britain has deploy special forces to ukraine and for how long they will be there. so at the same time while we're, the white house is saying that it's, it's trying to prevent a war at the same time, it's spreading this extreme hysteria. it's the the, the highest point. this is, terry has been ever is right now. perhaps the better way to prevent war might be to return to the negotiating table and data so crucial time for to go stations and time to find common ground and compromise. don't quarter the attacks for that up. the overall muscle of the u. k. independence party says even ukrainians are tired of the war clai

u. k. as a nate i member, it's hands are tied when it comes to providing any more military support to ukraine . it's a very, very difficult, difficult time right to walk. because if the u. k and other nato aligns countries do 2 months, you could be drawn into a protracted conflict in a country that it has no existing treaty to defend. but if it does too little, then it could be a gift horse as opposed to, to vladimir putin. and clearly he sees the opportunity. now to launch this invasion, you're just building on water. we heard that from dawn. can berlin? i think the question now is ok, nato members rule singing from the same sheet you members will see from the haitian it same him she so is the u. k as well. what about the speed in this though? because it can be very, very, very, very slow process. getting old to e, you 27 member states to agree to anything. we know that sanctions are on the way and many different shapes and forms. but the speed of this is going to be absolutely crucial in sending the right signal to the russians as quickly as possible. moscow can achieve an awful lot within 48 hours. we'v

a, to make an announcement, i thought it was very prompt and very swift. u. k. prime minister followed, and then of course the u. s. followed now even what the us did is still a prelude of what more could come there is a lot of, as they say, runway out there for further sanctions. the most significant of which would be the cut off of russia from the swift financial transaction system. the real big one would be if the you have said that intellectual property that we created in that is used by countries like korea, a also by taiwan semiconductor manufacturing corporation and so forth to make micro chips that, that could not be exported to russia. so as not just the chips they might get from us as chips from others who make those chips based on us intellectual property. that would be very, very significant. and again, much broader sanctions on those around him who like to send their kids to various i . e u countries in the u. k. a and so forth and so on. right? i still some say, as biden announced all these sanctions you were just talking about. but he still rules

u k, were doing it is very low cost to them. they have no skin in the game except for they want everybody else to fight with. and they want russia, obviously to be isolated in europe. let me go to scott right now. it's got where do we go from this now because i keep pounding away, is it rushes demands have not been met. so this isn't far from over. and i'd like to point out to ever since 2014 russia is more or less sanction proof. ok. they've already, they've already dealt with those issues almost completely across the board. here. a bullies don't like to be shown up in public. ok to be made, complete fools of you know, planning the invasion, the date, the hour. what are we supposed to do? get on the roof with our, with binoculars? i mean, they made complete buffoons out of themselves. they don't like to be shown up like that. go ahead, scott. i think we are in for a long haul and it's going to be very uncomfortable for all parties involved, especially the ukrainians are going to be stuck in the middle. as you pointed out, russi

u k, and u. s. channel is across much of the west and well, with some notable exceptions that were very invested in that war. continuing their invested in a continuing under the guise of saving afghan women, whatever the reasons are justifications that bank fees. and there's no doubt though elements of the war and i saw myself where african women, some of them were educated, that would not have been without the occupation. that's just a statement of fact batch. and it's a very b carriers. 70 percent african population is outside the major cities. so. so many of the journalists who are recording stan didn't leave travel. well didn't leave kandahar. so what they saw was on mosul or whatever it made, some ice will start most i sharif. so what i was saying was a very narrow slice of afghanistan, so many of the afghans who lived in the rural areas 70 percent, for then the last 20 years has been hell. that's from us, forces the taliban and militants. and obviously now the countries can play economic collapse and to media any way to address that is to engage in family. recognize that tele balance is no

u. k. good. have you with us, mr. giles, on the program. i mean, nate has to be very clear on its deployment strategy, its strength and its weaknesses. when telling the world what they're going to do, potentially, militarily and financially, should russia invaded with how they played their hand to soon? well, in fact is the opposite. now you heard from your diplomatic editor just now how the message coming from both nato, the, the west in general, is one of unity. but that's very different from saying what you're actually unified to do now with ukraine not being a nato member. there's a limited amount of support directly and militarily that could be offered to you grant. and in fact, the u. s. and the u. k. at a very early stage in this crisis, ruled out direct support to ukraine, which is the one thing that might have caused russia to think again, if it is planning to launch an invasion. now, meanwhile, you have the you and major western powers talking about sanctions. but there's been very little that specific on how exactly they would respond to a russian escalatio
