end of the period in between fast a history where it's actually had to miss chrissy. so that's the latest from walk i do go. meanwhile, al jazeera nicholas hockey is in darker with the international response to the crew . i mean, it seems to be perhaps surprising for many to see so many people celebrating what, what appears to be the end of an era of democracy in burkina faso in the beginning of a military coup. but that just reflects the lack of trust that people have in democratic institutions, specifically in countries in west africa. and we've seen a wave of military takeovers from unpopular yet elected democratically elected presidents in the region from guinea. then molly, we saw it in chad in sudan, and now burkina faso. so why is that? what it among many people, the basic necessities are not met by the state. in the case of burkina, faso, just a few numbers, 3500000 people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. 1.5000000 people displaced, 2000 killed in those 1500000 people displaced are not just people. barbara. they're mostly children, teenagers, and this is all contributing to the fact that this at toppling of this leader is so popular, at least on the sheets of walker do for now want. joining us now from casablanca is at my gay as senegalese political commentate, who is also former information director at the west african region of luck. eco, or, sir, thank you so much for joining us here. all now jazeera. so 1st of all, your a reaction to the latest events, both to 24 hours, but in the past few hours with the military effectively saying it's in control in booking a fossil anybody with a so i expected this to happen. the readings want to war, clearly a, i'll stick it last night for the 2 of us. so we do a quarter 5 of the african a. despite that, the moment this is clearly that the country, it's gonna be actually been a stage ever since he became a millionaire. 2 or 3 years ago. he has not been able to fix the problem not to, for security forces and need to have food, ammunition and some of these base property ways. or the money that he has been spending was controlled. do not extend by dinners, leaving branson 5 of the army who have no other option. we see yesterday the reaction, the realize that the people in the street with them that the move in the region in west africa, he's going don't really go in favor that. and also the fact that if you maybe, if you do end up those immunity b, like a 2 weeks ago for trying to do so they had to just really, and i'm actually gonna kill in industry because they're happy that the chart of what it is she to others, as they do is just in the law in the country of the end of the c t c. this says a failure of democracy against not just in brooklyn, of hassle, but looking at some other countries as well. c something that's more wide spread across the region. i mean, ultimately have the failure to governor, to govern effectively is causing many of these cruise yes, the school a not to fail demo because you deal with these leaders will get to power through the books actually should be good. i want to be a government. the resources are the natural resources advantage of resources of the country. and actually those people didn't go over the country probably. so there is a regression of democracy in west africa, but who is it? because a democrat, those people who became the leaders a process in many african countries, they were not based serious a vision. and we still come by the week was what we need to do with the previous to british pony, who the country from 97 to 2004 d as a very strong man really easily when the people started showing did it in 2014 is that you're presenting in as a democrat, each quarter will. so at the end of that, the really, there is a gut job and you have to do something that you know when he's not the 1st time with. and i think, i think we need to go because there's a chance to address complain with people celebrating on the streets. but it'll be interesting to see how things are developing the days and weeks to come out of my guy, senegalese, political commentator. joining us from casablanca, so thank you for

massive consequences and severe costs. russia continues to deny that it plans to invade accusing the west of fueling hysteria and escalating tensions. natasha butler begins our coverage as western powers step on diplomatic efforts to diffuse tensions with moscow over ukraine. european union foreign ministers met in brussels, of the talks joined by the u. s. secretary of state by video cool. the eas, top diplomat said that should to russia invade ukraine, the blog could impose sanctions, although he refused to give more detail. we agree, affirm our full and unquestionable shoe, poor to grain, and that any military aggression against ukraine will have, should use consequences, a massive cash for the perpetrator. earlier the head of the u commission announced an emergency financial package to help kiev. i am announcing a new hind angel assistance package to the country, made both of emergency loans and grants. first of all, the commission proposes and your emergency macro financial

deployments in eastern europe with troops, ships, and fighter jets. a response said he install to berg to the deteriorating security situation. we are considering to further enhance or persons in eastern part with arms. this could include the appointment of additional natal battle groups. the move by nato has angered the kremlin. it denies accusations by western powers that it is planning an attack kremlin spokesperson. dmitri pet scoff, said me, the info we are seeing statements from the north atlantic alliance about more troops pushing force is an asset on to the eastern flag. it is all causing tensions to rise. i'd like to point out, it is not because of what we russia are doing. it's all happening because of what later at the united states, the green and the information they are spreading. in kiev, 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 signed without a diplomatic break through the threat of conflict looms large. natasha butler al jazeera. well, in the last hour you as president joe biden has discussed ukraine in a video call with european leaders. let's get more now from my cana in washington, d. c. m. i. what more do we know about the call? well we haven't heard yet any read out about the content of the call. it began around 3 o'clock eastern time. that's the time here in washington dc. he held 3rd video virtual talks of the number of european leaders leaders of ne, towed up road leaders from both france, italy, the u. k. so a pretty wide range of discussions taking place there. this follows a meeting that the president biden had over the weekend with members of his national security staff while he was at camp david. clearly now briefing the european leaders on what the u. s. a position is in light of the latest information that may be emerging concerning the ukraine crisis. secretary austin has placed a range of units in the united states on a heightened preparedness to deploy which increases our readiness to provide forces . if nato should activate the n, r f. or if other situations develop, all told the number of forces that the secretary has placed on hight miller, comes up to about 8500 personnel. my apologies, that was c, a defense had spokesperson talking to the media about the deployment of us troops, potential deployment of u. s. troops. basically he was announcing the fact that 8 and a half 1000 us troops had been placed on standby. and no decision has been taken yet to deploy them. however, the defense spokesperson making clear that there would be a use to bolster as the nato reaction force. they would be part of that force. and he reiterated the statement made by president biden earlier, that there would be no us true presence within ukraine. however, he did mention as well that there are some 200 u. s. soldiers in ukraine at present, but they are acting there in a training capacity. so the situation at present is at u. s. has now put a 2 and a half 1000 soldiers or up to 8 and a half 1000 soldiers on standby, in case they need to be deployed to bolster the nato forces in the days to come. i can i with the latest i from washington d. c. mike, thank you. when michael wasik, you is a global affairs analyst and former spokesman for the o. s. c. special monetary mission to ukraine. he joined us via skype from sidney in british columbia. sir, thank you so much for joining us here. it's always good to have you and al jazeera things are changing very quickly. what is your reading of the situation right now? good to be with you again. barbara. well, things are changing very, very quickly. in fact, if you had asked me a week ago with quaint to happen, i would have time down the excitement and said, i don't think much, but now it's become much, much more clear that president putin who has always wanted to regain control of a wider swats of the former soviet union is prepared to do something and i think after watching russian stay primetime television this evening, it now appears that the occupied territory which has under control of the car do not the people's republic leadership. while the leader of that group, dennis chillen was on state national russian tv today saying that we are about to be attacked, that there is $120000.00 western trips on our borders tanks artillery. and in return, he said that their pre positioning more multiple rocket launch system, and i prove that sort of thing. so i think that that part of ukraine, which is, of course, been occupied the 2014. we're looking for a real big escalation and, you know, what, barbara? in the meantime, president putin has been handing out hundreds of thousands of russian passports to per russian residence. so don't boss when you put these different elements together, including by the way, the blocking of the observers are not part of ukraine. i think that that's going to be their immediate kind of strategy to move further into ukraine. but then focusing on the sort of western reaction that we've seen. a over the past few days, is it just not working? the strong words, the threat or very strong sanctions? do you think the split perhaps is obvious between the various western powers? oh yeah, absolutely. and this is the kind of environment put and thrive then you know, he, he lives off of division. and when the, what the tractor about the time to move, look, you know, if they really wanted to get mr. put in tension, i think what they need to do is to ok, the rhetoric is important. let's put that aside. but really go after the oligarchs and his immediate circle who control billions and billions of dollars. and what i mean by that, barbara is to see the property that has been bought by these russian oligarchs and places like london, the sports teams, the bank account, whatever it takes. the other thing is we have to remember as well that the west also needs to equip ukraine to better fight back against this hydro hybrid war that is going on right now. i've been in contact with my sources in ukraine and they tell me in the past few days, there's been massive false bomb threats, phoned into schools and give into kids subway stations. and just in the past 24 hour in the city of the patricia big cyber attacks last week, which they have been to the full extent of the damage. and so i think the time for rhetoric and the threat of sanctions has now ended and action is needed. and really striking where it hurts. i mean, obviously the last thing, well, anybody wants really is some kind of escalation and many would argue what, look, ukraine is not a member of nato, so there is no real need to go in. why do you think that that may not be right? why do you think ukraine is if you think so? why do you think ukraine is crucial to? i guess the western influencing european security. yeah, well, i've got a good answer for that. look in 2014 when the little group so called little green men invaded eastern ukraine. it displays 2 to 3000000 people. now imagine if there is a major incursion, whether it's in kia or cod killed or other parts would be crane. that will spark a massive migration of asylum seekers across the border. ukraine borders the you, they can walk over, they can drive over and they have visa fi truck be the free travel. so this is something that the west will feel very, very immediately the humanitarian crisis could be very good. i don't think it's an aspect that is being carefully looked at right now. and, you know, on top of that, of course, very quickly is that, you know, ukraine has fought very hard for its freedom. it's a full functioning democracy. course. there are a few things to work out like corruption, but the west has to stand by his partner, michael for secure global affairs analyst and form a spokesman for the o. s. c special monetary mission to ukraine. s or is always the thank you for your views. my pleasure. the saudi led coalition in yemen has launched their strikes that are who the missile launcher came hours after. and the rocky and us forces intercepted ballistic
