no wonder they want to become russian citizens and they're ethnically, russian, the vast majority of them here. and so here's the, the u. s. and the u. k. and other nato countries egging on the ukraine government to start another conflict when we're there is a mechanism minsk agreements that i've mentioned here to resolve that this is something very maniacal. go ahead, right? yeah, it's, it's hard to, as you know, there's a balance when you're trying to think this through. is it like a maniacal design or just maniacal maniacally stupid? i mean, you know, it's really a question in my mind when you think about the last 20 years of u. s. policy, the u. s. invaded afghanistan. and 2 months later, the taliban agreed to surrender in exchange for amnesty and the american said no, we don't negotiate with terrorists. and then 20 years later, the taliban, when the war in afghanistan, the invasion of iraq, you know, you can go through the entire history of the, you know, states and all of these endless wars. and they're marked by these catastrophically, dumb decisions, really stupid decisions. so there's a maniacal stupidity that exist, but becau

the west. this can only be translated as a provocation. and so this is extremely dangerous. politically, though they're in desperate straits and in the u. s. u. k and france and this conflict or anything even approaching a conflict, even the threat of a conflict would dominate the headlines for months, perhaps, and it would be the ultimate distraction. i think these governments would benefit from the, on the west led by the u. s. and u. k are very interested, ah, possibly and seeing something, at least approaching a conflict. and in order to a justify a roll. a rolling the ukranian, a state into the nato alliance set up, but also breathing new life and purpose, into nato as an organization, which is a declining in its sort of purpose, really for many years now. and it's, it's gone so far away from its original treaty in history seems to have passed it by and now it seems to be desperate to justify its existence. so that's an incredibly dangerous situation that we find ourselves in. french environmentalist saw sounding the alarm at a time to extend the paris metro system a fair, a project to relieve me to a congestion. and i, the crowd of public

it's all happening because of what nato and the united states, so green and the information they are spreading. and key of the u. s. and u. k began the withdrawal of some diplomats families and non essential workers from the city, although the embassies will remain open. the reduction of empathy staff. another sign though, without a diplomatic break through the threat of conflict looms large. natasha butler al jazeera. the pentagon has 8 and a half 1000 troops on height, and alerted says air prepared to deploy, if needed, along with other nato forces. in some cases, some of these forces were already on a, a heightened posture, readiness to deploy posture, and the secretary decided to make it even more a shortened the tether even more. so in some cases, units would go from say, 10 days prepared to deploy. now there, at 5 days, al jazeera is dawson jabari is in moscow with more reaction was heard from the kremlin who has reacted very strongly to the meeting this been ongoing in brussels . the russian government says that there believe that's a risk of key of actually starting a conflict in eastern ukraine is at an all time hi

it's all happening because of what may toaster and the united states are grooming and the information they are spreading. and key if the u. s. and u. k began the withdrawal of some diplomats families and non essential workers from the city, although the embassies will remain open. the reduction of empathy staff, another sign that without a diplomatic break through the threat of conflict looms large. natasha butler al jazeera for you some breaking news coming out of russia. it's been reported by reuters that sir the russian st. financial monitoring agency has added the jailed kremlin critic alexi, the valley and a half lives allies to a list of terrorists and extremists. on tuesday now, are they also inclusive as allies such as a lube over so bowl who added to the list on tuesday also learned volkoff and even xander off of course. and the valley is incarcerated in prison at the moment. and that indeed is also being condemned. by the e u, the u. s. and several other western nations. be interesting to see what a reactionary is to that in the light of the current problems that are bosco's facing with the e u and the u. s. over ukraine wi

and blaming the west for that rest risk, particularly we've heard the kremlin calling the west hysterical and it's response to russian troop movements and exercises. and they often talk about the u. s. and the u. k. the anglo saxons, as they say, as kind of stoke stoking tensions over ukraine. i don't think put in our will announce a de escalation today, because i think that's part of the russian strategy. they want to keep pressure high to get what they want and talks. lisa, what else can emanuel michael offer potent that isn't already on the table? well, it's not so much about what you can put on the table, but about the different kind of view he's offering on the situation. at the alley there has been telling reporters over the past few days that many countries, including the year seem to be thinking that a russian invasion of ukraine is in editable. but france, this agrees on that they are saying, you know, this could become a self fulfilling prophecy. and we want to prevent that by keeping the channels of communication open. there have been talks this week between the diplomats from france, germany, ukraine, and russia. here in paris, on the, on a 2014 si, fi and east in ukraine, and these

that's twice the number seen just 4 days ago. nearly a 3rd are in new delhi and by hong kong banning flights from 8 countries, including australia, the u. s. and the u. k. as it battles rise included 19 casings. officials fear the army kron variant could be spreading undetected. and the various symptoms make it very different to what went before the south african doctor who 1st alerted the authorities to the strain has said muscle aches, fatigue, a scratchy throat and might sweat a common symptoms. and while patience infected with previous variance reported a loss of taste and smell, that seems to have disappeared with all micron has also been note major drop in oxygen levels being reported in the lungs of omicron positive patients. the well health organisation says army kron does appear to be affecting the upper respiratory tract. previous trains would attack the lungs, causing severe pneumonia. dr patrick tang is the division chief with microbiology at sidra medicine here in cat are. he explains now why the severity of the symptoms of all micron will be different in each country. i think the effects of the cranberries are going to be different in dif

pivot to the west has denied the claims given last month and the russian foreign ministry, branded the assertion, fake news. the u. s. and the u. k. are sending military aid to ukraine with baltic nations set to follow. germany's hands off approach is attracting criticism. but the u. s. secretary of state denied the divisions. i've been on the phone and saw might my own a german counterpart. ah, for mr. burbock and i can tell you that the germans very much, oh, sure are concerns and are resolute in being did, are determined to respond and to respond swiftly, effectively. and in the united way, up to a $100000.00 russian troops have amassed at ukraine's boulders over recent months. with moscow demanding that ukraine will never be allowed to join nato. putin is also denied. he is planning to talk. but those living on ukraine's frontier with russia a fall from reassured with life on the edge of something very terrible. it's carrying sol. yes, i can say the scale for now daily life continues, which is a political temperatures plummet. people here all too aware how quickly that could all change. well, let's bring in michael kim edge.

should the us, they though, should they arm ukraine heavily enough so that it can at least make another russian incursion, at least uncomfortable and ugly for the kremlin when the u. s. and the u. k. have been doing that already. and i think the ukrainians on that point are fairly relaxed. i mean there's some things that they haven't received, such as, i don't know, patriot missile defenses or mankind, stingers. but at least that's what i'm reading. i'm. but i think the ukrainians are relatively well equipped and trained to fend off anything sort of short of a massive full scale invasion and still not clear that that's what the russians are gearing up. and i think the more important thing to understand here is that for anybody who has like me, that you did mention, my ed lived through the yugoslav wars of 990 s. when i was a reporter for a good site, the weekly paper that was a decayed long war. and a slow unraveling of the u. s. loves had were republic into military may have more crimes and genocide. and the, the risk that i'm seeing is that you could see a protracted extended conflict with sort of unclear on balance and atrocities being committed um, culpability. perhaps on bot

u. s. the your opinion and u. k, i united it, the message is also that there will be no solution. and that was putins idea that a deal between russia and the u. s. could organize the security in europe. european security. there is a strong participation by the europeans and i think this message is clearly impressive. graft on to good preparation for. ringback the meeting of our company bring can interrogate elaborate of tomorrow in geneva. you say it's clearly impressive to russia. what makes you say about what gives you any indication that russia has been even slightly moved by these words, which you would expect to hear? it's not words. russia is learning that violating the territorial integrity of ukraine will have massive consequences, not a one on 2 projects, but on the whole bunch. the whole bunch of political and economic relations between russia and especially europe. it's not the case that we have the single part of dependency. yes, there are dependencies, but those dependencies on both sides. the russian economic model. yeah, even the russian model a ruling is based on the e

ah, another flurry of activity over ukraine, nato ships and more equipment to shore up its positions in eastern europe, the u. k. and the u. s. and the families of embassy staff, home. the threat of a russian invasion has cast a long shadow over europe with no resolution in sight. what does ukraine wants? i'm so me. so misconduct, berlin, and this is the day. ah, we are considering the deployment of additional natal battle groups and they reinforce european security for all of us govern government. very clear. pressing solidarity with our friends very. we don't. one war. ukraine is a broader nation for us. this is why war really wants to fight the exit off the mountain sentence without resorting to military me. it's just the usual french from the big bonded next door. very clear warning of russian president of escalating the president also coming up on the show a last generation 2 years into the pandemic schools are still struggling to stay open and children still suffering. we take you to brazil to meet a teacher fighting to save his students, future decor pharma. you the only way to change their reality and, and the cycle of mi

and what they need is a distraction. and that distraction might come in the form of conflict. that's the big worry is politically that they're in desperate straits in, in the u. s. u. k. and france. and this conflict or anything even approaching a conflict, even the threat of a conflict would dominate the headlines for wants perhaps. and it would be the ultimate distraction. i think these governments would benefit from that's my personal opinion. history does have a tendency of repeating itself. unfortunately, patrick kennings and next few will take on the story here today. you're not interested. give, ah, now british man who took full people hostage synagogue in the us state of texas that weekend was previously flagged while he, cale authorities, when it was our chrome, had been seen as a potential islamist terrorists sort of 20 twins investigation buttons and my 5 intelligence agency where you go forward, he's though determined that he posed no threat at that time. he was left on record as a person of interest, but was able to fly to the us and by far on there appears that you can, i thought he said not relate any of their concerns about him to their american counterpar

ukraine dominates, but the headlines and the lines of nato states with legal arms down the nation and the military equipment handed over to peer or the u. s. and u. k. prepared to send troops to eastern europe and also nato. remember the great a weapon? ice ukraine, germany is slammed by allies the going against the blocks line while some spanish opposition parties say it's not bad countries war to wage. spain has no place in this conflict. we are not interested in any worse. all this is a pro cation of the united states and nato in an attempt to reshape the world order in which they are losing influence. while moscow say is clearly and simply, if it's up to russia, that will be no war farm. and it's, it's like a lot of outlined to countries position and a lengthy interview to the russian media. another story, a move in this to pursue a bargain is called on my consulting a fox news journalist who was just trying to get answers about reco inflation plaguing the us. we go shopping in new york to see how prices are being affected, not local. how much is putting them in that pocket? you have to, you have to make concessions to you to fit your budget, t

and by doing an important aspect of keeping in touch with their fans and building a profile. and the u. s. is not the only country taking such measures, canada, the u. k. and another ones i've also worn thereafter leaps about potential surveillance in china. giving the same recommendations about using disposable cell phones. we heard from an asian affairs expert who believes the us is hippa, critically accusing others of what it's guilty of itself. this, i think this to part of the campaign to stigmatize china. and also, we're not forgetting ever. snowden to western countries cannot prove that they themselves are not spying on other people. in fact, they are quite infamous of doing so, right. i was still there has said about what, because find countries in the world. you the now infamous you at eavesdropping of his allies is already quite common knowledge to well christian, or is allies, had openly criticize to us on that. on the contrary, why they not be part of how much china has done to protect it at this time in the olympics, you see robots delivering food for the athletes in the canteen to prevent corporate transmission. as i think china's answer

and then brings you back to the bargaining table about nato expansion and other guarantee security guarantees of the looking bar is the military hardware that's been sent by countries like the u. s. and the u. k. enough to deter russia and if russian forces do cross into ukraine, what would be the response of the us, this nato allies? well, the military hardware that the united states, the united kingdom haven't bringing in, as well as other countries like netherlands, which are that the year bring it in as well. are mostly ad defensive weapons. so they're basically aimed at death, prevent gang, and at blunting a russian f f. i advanced not necessarily lead alarms or they're not necessarily of the self variety in terms of drones at turkey's brain again. so they're slightly different in that regard. i don't think that they'll be necessarily enough to completely stop or override russian invasion simply because of russia's military superiority, but they could help increase the cost of that. it's also important to keep in mind that the u. s. in particular, has already authorized $125000000.00 in military assistance that are biden earlier this year. and now with adding another $200000000.00 more,

the u. s. india, japan, korea, and the u. k. and it was the 1st such move of its kind. so of the $50000000.00 barrels, $32000000.00 will be an exchange over the next several months or $800000000.00 barrels will be an acceleration of a previously authorized sale. and this event is significant as if that official emergence of this anti opec group of top oil consuming countries, taking the supply side dynamics into their own hands. and this comes after month of talk with opec only to have them decide to maintain its previous production schedule and not accelerate pumping. so now these countries are trying to flood the market with millions of where the oil in order to create an artificial looseness and the oil markets and drive down oil prices. and while it's a very good effort, it's only a temporary band aid in order to help bridge the production shortfall, americans are facing this winter. it's not something that the u. s. and their partner countries can sustain long term because it's a valiant effort. it's not really going to work to the effect by the wants because the st
