u. s. and its allies of warned, of strong measures of russia launches military action rose jordan has more from washington the real concern is trying to one figure out where they can actually try to deal, which with each other's demands, the u. s. does not want to see an invasion of ukraine, but it also does not want russia to continue other destabilizing activities, including its deployment of medium range missiles along its borders, are facing western europe. as you are noted, the russians want to the u. s. a nato to basic, basically, back away from out there are from the russian borders and not admit any more ra countries, particularly those countries that used to be a part of the soviet union cassock presidents as described days of anti government processed as an attempted to more than 160 people were killed and almost 8000 others detained. casem joe mart took high f, says helena johnson, you government line up on tuesday. the court in me in law has sentence the, our stately to anson suit. she to an additional 4 years in jail. so she was on trial for illegally possessing walkie talkie radios and breeching corona virus restrictions. people in the netherlands finally have a new government

u. s. which is a inducing nato to of essentially pull back. it's a florida leaning, a posture near russia's borders, trying not to admit any more former soviet states to the nato alliance. those sorts of things, washington says, are non starters, but the u. s. has said, while it's expectations for success this week are low that they are looking for areas where the 2 countries might be able to work out. some sort of resolution. the overall, the f effort is really to one try to establish a pragmatic relationship between the u. s. and russia. one that the president joe biden has previously called predictable. and also to try to reduce the tensions most notably around of the eastern border of ukraine with russia. something that has been of real concern here in washington for several months now. and yet ross, ukraine's not at the table and the europeans and i the us and what can possibly be achieved at these tools. well, probably nothing is going to be achieved at thea talks in geneva because the u. s. is trying to keep these, taught very much focu

u . s, which called this meeting, says the russian military build up around ukraine is the largest mobilization of troops in europe. in decades, rushes aggression to day, not only threaten ukraine. it also threatens europe. it threatens the international order this body is charged with upholding. we continued to hope russia chooses the path of diplomacy over the path of conflict in ukraine, but we cannot just wait and see and present, but russia's ambassador vaseline benzene says, all his country's troops are on russian soil. they're not close to the ukrainian border. and there's absolutely no proof of a threat from them. he says the us in nato, we're whipping up tensions as though they want there to be a war. outside the council chamber, i pushed him further on this. are there any circumstances in which russian troops would cross the border into ukraine? can just be clear for it, i'm i'm, we're not the person to decide whatever happens. but we never, i said it in my statement that no russian politician or, or even their public figure ever said that rep led into attack. yeah, great. what a clea

u. s, which broke the dayton peace agreement continues to view such monstrous lies implicating me and corrupt activities. but without any specifics, i am not under legal scrutiny on allegations of any professional misconduct. and in the past, the courts in bosnia rejected claims about my supposed misconduct. if i did something wrong, it's up to the courts in bosnia to establish that and not up to some us bureaucrat . so i had an al jazeera why this tune is ian politicians, worsening health is having ripple effects across a fractured country. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello there, sitting a lot more like winter now across much of europe we got rain, sleet, and snow coming into many parts is certainly much colder than it has been. recently we got a malware, grassy trying to push its way back him from the atlantic. he said that in the form of this massive cloud, these weather systems will roll through with some slightly less cold air. the moment the cooler air is down across central parts. we've seen a fair bit of 1st snow pushing down across

u. s which broke the global record for daily registered cobra infections on monday, with more than 1000000, 300000 cases reported the number of hospitalizations of also doubled in the past 3 weeks. and that seeing the state of california issued new guidelines that health care workers who test positive for coping can return to work immediately if they're not symptomatic from january 8, 2022 until february 1st 2020 to health care personnel who test positive for sars cove 2 and a symptomatic may return to work immediately without isolation and without testing and health care personnel who have been exposed and the ac automatic may return to work immediately without quarantine and without testing. positive testing, medics are required to wear extra protective masks and should only be assigned to treat cove at patients. it's still not clear though quite how that's going to be put into action. the california hospital association admit there were no guarantees that hospitals will adopt the approach. on top of that, the head of america's biggest health and public sector union says, allowing the mi

u. s. which is the course ridiculous. so, so the democratic party is committed some kind of show down. by the same time, there are rays of light in the form of realism, some sense that russia, you know, is not to be trifled with. it's security concerns are, are, are real and significant. and there really is no point to push for. ready a needless confrontation, which would plunge the entire continent of the chaos. yeah, i mean, the, the allegations are, again, the russia is preparing to invade ukraine. russia. keep saying, no, it's not. we would want the sanctions for a start. it wouldn't want extra trouble with double the trouble. it's already got that's been imposed on it. do you think this was i was going to come this day really played out as expected, but there was never going to be any big breakthrough. so part of a much longer term game, maybe over the coming weeks, months, even years before something thrash that. but this is almost one of the heights of the, of the pressure times over it, you know, to made. yeah, i think i think where we're in a long, long term game here. i think

u. s, which broke the dayton peace agreement continues to view such monstrous lies implicating me and corrupt activities. but without any specifics, i am not under legal scrutiny on allegations of any professional misconduct. and in the past, the courts in bosnia rejected claims about my supposed misconduct. if i did something wrong, it's up to the courts in bosnia to establish that and not up to some us bureaucrats or north korea is released pictures of what it says was the hypersonic mythos that successfully its target. it was launched on wednesday. you went into the sea off north korea as eastern coast in marks. the 1st such test by the country since october. earlier this week, leader kim german said the country will further bolster its nuclear program. now a leading figure in tennessee has political establishment is on hunger strike, threatening to deepen a month long crisis. noted dean bahati, previously served as justice minister, and his deputy chairman of one of the country's biggest political parties filled the, the movement under ship power force, an arrest that's turned into a poli

u. s, which essentially is minimizing the risk off on the cross and not really introducing any additional measures beyond recommendations to have the bank seen. so we often governance response, but it varies depending which part of the world that we're in. yeah, him and what about latin america? how is the pandemic impacting economies there? do you think? well, i mean, i think with latin america, there's very few tools left to be used tried because the region responded in such a draconian manner during 2020 and early 2021. that actually implementing many of the same measures that western europe is, is taking, would be socially, economically and politically very difficult. i mean, economically, the region was the hardest hit of any region in the world and recovery prospects are slimming down. so if we think about, you know, some economies will return to pre plan that make g d p levels in 2023. but that's the best case scenario. we have economies that are looking at a potential another last decade. so that has huge social impact. government aren't able to dictate quarantine and school closu

p as it's now in which involved the u. s. in which they try to get off the ground, but then they pulled out of right. so i think that's a good starting point. the t p p is no longer what it was. it's now the c p t p p, which is se significantly watered down version of what the u. s. had initially proposed now after it pulled out. and so, but still even in this watered down form, it is a much more ambitious agreement then that we have with us the, the membership of asset is so diverse. you have very rich countries like singapore, you have very poor countries like lauzon, cambodia, the populace nations. so you cannot, you have to account for that diversity by allowing flexibilities and flexibility translate into generally lack of prescribed depth. so that's the key difference in the level them vision, the level of depth. but countries can go as far as they are able to or willing to, but the minimum set is quite low to accommodate the huge diversity. that's the key difference i know from your vantage point there in beijing, do yo

and they were waiting for this response which came by the u. s. ambassador to this country john sullivan, who went in to the foreign ministry this evening. and he was in there for about 30 minutes. and then he left without addressing any of the questions from reporters outside the foreign ministry. but the russians are likely to study the response from the americans, which will not be made public at the request of the u. s government. the circle of rob had said that last week at the meeting in geneva, a with u. s. secretary of state entity blinkin that's it was up to the americans, whether not to make public their answers and it would be up to them to the side. and it appears as the u. s. secretary of state has said that they will now choose not to release the answers publicly because they believe they want to give diplomacy a chance. the russians have said that if they're not satisfied with the response, as they receive from the americans and nato, they will study their options and they will pursue whatever path is in their best interests. the m

u. s. at this critical juncture, when you have that report that you were showing earlier in which the u. s. government believes that russia is on the verge of some kind of false flag operation or another operation that might set off a military conflict. there are a jumbo effects of that. i was there was john henry that live in chicago of our joke of hitches fighting attempts to support him from australia. the tennis started back in detention after a studious immigration minister cancelled his visa over his claim for a vaccine exemption. that's the 2nd time his visa has been revoked with our lives out of brisbin out 0. sarah clark is there, sarah, the saga continues. what happens next? beside the saga certainly does continue. the last our joke of which has been interviewed once again body is tried in border officials and a federal court hearing resumes and the next few minutes in melbourne. and this of course, is a joke of his team once again trying to block his deportation on the eve of the opening of the australian open, which begins on monday. now the federal government canceled his vis

u. s, which continue to reach unprecedented levels. but the president's chief medical advisor says hospitalization cases of vaccinated people is very know given infection rate live to my cana in washington dc. for as my tell us more about what doctor anthony thought you said about the overall situation in the u. s. o, dr. foul, she described the rise and infections as absolutely unprecedented. this arise that is being reflected throughout the united states hospitalizations have also increased, but most of those being admitted to hospital, if not all of them are people who are reported to be an vaccinated doctor found. she said the fact that the infections were so high, and yet the fact that the hospitalization rates were relatively low, is a strong indicator that the oma kron variant has less serious side of x and other various of the virus. he also quoted research that has been conducted in other parts of the world, such as in south africa, are saying that the virus, the current upsurge could start flattening out within the next few w

and we do that basically in a way which is not so much different from the u. s. we have a local electric ministration, which is very powerful, which is very strong. and we have mutual control. but once that system breaks away, when one site in the case of the u. s. president, trump, for president trump disputes the electoral integrity than the whole system was threatened. and that is what we need to defend in germany. we still have it and we are very concerned to follow the developments in the united states, which is our closest allies. now we really hope that there is a way forward that the next connections, the midterms, will see more the bipartisanship in again, administrating the selections. but you're very concerned of the 1st signals we see . i want to play for you. part of what she was president biden said today about the election of 2020. take a listen. the truth is that no real action, no action in american history, has been more closely scrutinized. one more carefully counted every legal challenge . questioning the results in every court in this country

u. s. and other neighboring countries are viewing this situation and on this able be indefinitely puzzled for, for the u. s. which as of course, had a very hard time finding good relations under divine administration with central america. it's very strange with that, with the sound of those very tense relations we put them on as well. and of course faces and other regional crisis, which is that on the corolla. so under, as seem to seem to be this beam of hope in the region with this new transition, and this is sort of a reality check that brings everybody over to the hard reality that this is going to be a long process to do that. of course, they will need to be an engagement, and i think that the us and others have. kimberly rolled in, fussy to chasing a dialogue between the major political forces to to solve this deadlock base, basically to get a break. we appreciate you giving us your time and i'll just see the so thank you very much and h, as thanks very much you for having me have a nice evening of us as a transport truck drivers across canada, a convoy to the capital ot about to protest against the federal

u. s. to which demands, including a guarantee that nato will not grant membership to ukraine. something blinkin has repeatedly called a nonstarter. but he said the u. s. would respond to russia if moscow addressed it's concerns and respected ukrainian sovereignty. we've been clear if any russian military forces move across your current order that's renewed invasion, it will be met with swift, severe, and the united response from the united states, and our partners and allies. u. s. intelligence says russia has already amassed at least a 100000 troops on its western border and is moving weapons into allied belarus, north of ukraine. the u. s. and russian positions are clearly far apart, blinkin and lap off making very little real progress. but the 2 men did agree to continue to pursue diplomacy as a way of the escalating, a crisis which could lead to war. it was on the shores of lake geneva, the talks between the u. s. and russia led to the end of the cold war, decades on how old rivalries have resurfaced. both sides accuse each other. regression and relations are dangerously de

u. s. in its allies vessel with russia, demands of frosty atmosphere, spreads along ukraine's border. which cross straight over to our moscow course on emily? sure. when emily washington says the u. s. is making no concessions to russia's main demands regarding ukraine and nato. how is that going down in moscow? well, we heard a short response from the deputy foreign minister, alexander gro school yesterday, who said that russia would study the written response that it received. and he also said, you know, look, our partners, nato and the u. s. took around one and a half months to respond. so essentially giving russia some time to respond as well, in that short response we haven't heard from the kremlin yet. and actually letting me put in himself has been conspicuous. conspicuously quiet on the whole issue of ukraine in the last month or so. of course, the fact that nato and the u. s. have rejected russia's main demand, which is a stop to nato expansion, eastern expansion. that's bad news for russia, but i think that russia went into all these rounds of talks that we've seen in the last few

u. s which continued to reach unprecedented levels by the president's chief medical advisors. his hospitalization cases of vaccine to people is very low given the infection rate has got the latest from mike hannah in washington. so mike, what more has dr. foul? she said about the covert situation in the u. s. down to 40 making very clear that the rate of infection is rising at unprecedented levels. however, he adds that given the case studies in other parts of the world, in particular, south africa. there could be a drop in the rate in coming weeks. this is the ab plate way that the virus, the ami kron variant has been going. but doctor found, she says, as well, that hospitalizations remain high, but it's significant that the number of those are being vaccinated. i do not necessarily respond to the amount of testing that has been done. in other words, that number of cases being entered into hospital is very low among those who are vaccinated, which dr. party says is exceedingly significant. and because of that, he adds, may be one should start looking at the hospitalization ra

u. s. u. k. forces which are aging and baltic states and poland. a box of the will be in the system have been installed in poland. united states has walked out of the abm treaty, other b i n f treaty. so the takes security is the accept become very high. and these few additional duplicates being sent again, not d, the cannot deal with the, with russia on the, on the military side. so these are all going things in order to show all of the listing. but they're not going to matter. ultimately, you have to have political negotiations on the basis of equality and mutual security and data is the core of the issue and for the solution mrs. well, really appreciate your time. i guess his comments about the form of foreign secretary of india. thank you so much. thank you. thank you. meanwhile, push me dear alice, have been increasingly blaming russia for alleged aggression against ukraine that says the foreign office named a form ukraine. m p is a pro russia candidates that the company wants to replace the current president masika says the accusations are no

u. s, which called this meeting says the russian military build up around ukraine is the largest mobilization of troops in europe. in decades, rushes aggression to day, not only threaten ukraine. it also threatens europe. it threatens the international order, this body is charged with upholding. we continue to hope russia chooses the path of diplomacy over the path of conflict in ukraine. but we cannot just wait and see. but russia's ambassador vaseline, the benzine says, all his countries troops around russian soil, they're not close to the ukrainian border. and there's absolutely no proof of a threat from them. he says the us and nato were whipping up tensions as though they want to be a war outside the council chamber. i pushed him further on this. are there any circumstances in which russian troops would cross the border into ukraine? can you be clear for it? i am. i am not the person to decide whatever happens, but we never. i said it in my statement that no russian petition or even their public figure ever said that we are planning to take your great what a clear answer. it seemed. but

u. s which has a record number one hospital. many western european countries have higher numbers. i think that's what's really saving us right now as well as the booster. well out as well as people taking individual writing. this is bonnie: this is what i wanted to try to understand because you know, those graphs i just showed and i sent them to you earlier to have a look at as well. they show how effective vaccines can be, that you can get this many new cases, but you can have fewer hospitalizations and debts. but then, you know, you heard our report from patty in the us saying that hospitalizations are all time high there. is that just because it's not enough vaccination, or is there some other factor going on? i think it's mainly about numbers of people vaccinated, but also we heard that it's difficult to get a test. so people are waiting longer. so one of the successes we've had in western europe and other countries is earlier diagnosis and getting earlier. and you can start taking care of people before they need to be hospitalized for before they need to go into an i c. u. so
