allies to with the list of terrorists and china orders, mass, cobra, 1900 testing and parts of aging after a rise in infections just a week away from the winter olympics in support. a tragedy overshadowed the football of the africa combination. at least 8 people are killed in the stadium crush income marine is fans gathered to watch that scene play. ah, welcome to the news our, the french president mighty rama hall says he's been informed burkina, faso deposed president, rucker bori is in good health and not being threatened. the military crew has triggered international condemnation with the u. n. u. s. and eco, i was calling for corps immediate release. well, crowds have been gathering in the capital, do go to show their support for the military. the soldiers who carried out the qu says basic power, because the government failed to contain armed groups that have killed 1000. we'll bring in some medic who's joining us on the phone from the capital one to do so. sam burkina faso waking up the 1st full day of a new military regime in charge you've been out and about on the street so much support is there for the school. so as it appears now, there's a lot of support for the to, there's could be approximately a 1000 people. it's hard to tell, but they're. # in the, in the center downtown, in the square, they're tearing, they're shouting, they're holding flags. a lot of them are holding flags of molly and bertina far so showing sort of follow their 2 military leaders in both countries now and same down down with echo watts, which is the west african block saying that they don't approve of sanction if they're about to come so there's a lot of support right now for the military center that's just taken over. so do people feel like the military now can be trusted to bring security to the country because that's what people were most concerned about. it was the security wasn't yet what, what they're saying. they feel that having a military lead active time when there is an insecurity when there's a problem with security is the way to go. and that particularly young soldiers who have battle hard and right now and to have experience in the field, they think that they can better serve the country than the previous regime. who lot of people didn't feel like they had a military strategy. i wasn't focusing enough on equipping and training the soldiers. 0, one more for you. so while i have you with us me, we've heard from the french president, somebody on my call, who says that he's been assured that the deposed president is in good health and that he's not being threatened as well. did he provide any more information or, or any word from the deposed president himself? from the statement that mccall there was no other information other than what you just said. but and we haven't heard anything either except that the who has said that isn't in good health and that he's safe and he's a safe place, but they haven't been where he is. ok sound. thank you so much. some i think reporting from was i do now a shipment from off aid from the united states has arrived in ukraine. the pentagon says it's also put 8 and a half 1000 truths on high alerts. it says they're prepared to deploy, if needed, along with other native forces in eastern europe. and this whole coming is fears continue to grow of a possible russian invasion of ukraine. in some cases, some of these forces were already on a heightened posture, readiness to deploy posture, and the secretary decided to make it even more short term even more. so in some cases, units would go from, say, 10 days prepared to deploy. now they're at 5 days more on the story with a white house correspondent, kimberly hockey. so 8 and a half 1000 us troops put on high alerts. what does that actually mean? kimberly well, what it means is the u. s. is serious about bolstering nato forces. if there is the decision by vladimir putin to invade ukraine is something that joe biden has said. he believes that the russian president intends to do. the question is when and to what extent. now, what we know is that already the plans have been put in place in terms of how this could play out in terms of the united states and bolstering of the nato readiness. this would not be ukraine proper. it's important to know that the united states would be sending aircraft, it would be sending warships. it would be sending soldiers as part of this broader force to eastern european nations. but what we know about all of this is that this comes after the meetings that took place at camp david over the weekend, where the president weighed this decision. he has not made a final decision just yet. we're watching very carefully in washington to see when he will decide whether or not to move ahead with this. but in the interim, what we do know is that the president wanted to project this sign of unity in terms of his allies. and so that's why he was meeting with a video conference with the european leaders in the last 24 hours because there had been some division, some reticence about the plan, but to the u. s. president, coming out following that meeting, saying that he has clear unity among the leaders among the allies in terms of what he calls russian aggression. so now the president seems to be moving forward. but one thing that he still has to do is a consult with congress and to that and the leaders of both the us senate as well as the house of representatives. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi have called for congressional briefings. the white house says they are working on that. ok, kimberly. thank you so much. can we talk to reporting from washington d. c? well, let's get more on the situation on the ground in ukraine, who dr. hamid is near the frontline of the conflict that's in the eastern part of the country where people are increasingly concerned about a possible rush on a tucked is here in eastern ukraine that people are concerned to most of a possible escalation in the conflict. this part of the country has seen fears of battles back in 2014 and 15. this is what's left of the industrial area. we're on the edge of ad v fca, one of the towns that was badly hit. and during the battles that centered around the airport in don't yet, which is only 5 to 7 kilometers away from here. now the front line is just a few 100 meters down this way we went there at the last position of the ukrainian forces, distance only a 100 meters from the last position of the pro russian forces and the 2 sides stare at each other all day. and all night long now, the situation is very calm. we just heard a few pot shots. ukrainian soldiers told us that that happens a lot. they say that they refrain from retaliating, simply because they don't want the situation to inflame. now we did ask them how they felt about maybe a russian invasion in the coming weeks. well, they said that they didn't know if it was going to happen. but that this time round, they felt that the army was stronger. they have received training. they have received military equipment, it keeps on pouring game, so they do say that the situation would be much different on the ground. meanwhile, russian authorities have added jailed kremlin critic alexis of all the and some of his allies to its list of terrorists and extremists. moscow band of all these political network as extremis. last year during a sweeping crack down allies including the oboe of civil. we're also added to the list, while leona vocal of, and ivan, that, and of were added earlier this month. all 3 or i'll try to russia at the moment. pavel fell. good, how're as a defense and military analyst, he says, the latest move shows, nevada. the still poses a problem for the russian authorities. is organization has being already listed and banned as extremist and that he's were tenants who are abroad a happy know. so even the status of extremists and terrorist, the mouth he has to means his assets will be frozen and also more much more importantly, he will not be eligible for parole. because right now he's jailed on the minor offense, actually pantry, stuff, but it's on the business kind of for regularity. but now he has a much more serious status. and when right now the tensions are really getting higher and higher. there's the threat of confrontation, open confrontation with the west, very important for the russian authorities to keep it under wraps. he was the person who managed to organize really serious street protests and know at west street protests and the war movement. when russia goes into a confrontation with the west coast, if there's already a confrontation with the west western provost, nevada, me right now will not be that important when they're a smart, serious issue. let's bring in alexander sullivan. he's a member of the russian opposition. he's joining us by skype from moscow. welcome to the news hour. what is your reaction to the latest developments on election of only hello? well, unfortunately, that was expected and that's just to part of the russian authorities plan. as long as you have been come down to where you are a good or organization been condemned to be extra or terrorist. you are being added to this lease to in a half a year or something. so that was just just a part of their plan. unfortunately, we knew that would happen sooner or later. and what the russian authorities also did is they added from what we understand at least 7 of nevada, these associates, as well as the former regional coordinators on that list. i mean, this doesn't really bode well for the opposition, does it? well, unfortunately, the opposition is almost destroyed. we should be like, realistic about that. it is sad to meet this fact, but this is true, sense of excitement, a return to russia, and he was arrested all the role is been cracked down. so basically the opposition no longer exists and russia, it's almost eliminated. so we can just keep, some are some of our individual activities and this is what does this mean for the future of the opposition that well, that means that so we'll be able to continue to our full scale political activity only when the regime changes or whether their food dies or something like that, because if now you start doing something legally, absolutely legally, but anyway, connected with politics, you immediately go to jail. they used to invent or fabricate some kind of a criminal case, a sophisticated criminal cases, but now they no longer cure that because they have a lot of they have plenty of new criminal articles in criminal code that just it could be used against your legal, political activity, your organization, or you personally could be named undesirable and end up in jail up to 6 years. so that just, you don't need any court decision to for your organization to be named are undesirable, just to willing overall prosecutor or investigator. that's it. is there any link to this announcement that involves me has been added to the list of terrorist and extremist, and what's going on right now with russia and ukraine and all with the, with the heightened tension. tensions, of course, between russia and western countries. i mean, why do this now? well, i don't think, or at least i probably don't know if there is any connection because i think those are 2 separate scenarios. they might be connected just because, well, as the previous speaker said, of course, nobody of russian authorities needs someone to have protest on the street. but basically you don't need to name all that he's allies. terrorist just to prevents people from going to the streets because almost all the opposition leaders are already either in jail or either in jail or in in exile. so i think those are 2 separate scenarios. ok, we thank you so much alexander, some of you have for joining us from moscow once more had on the officer at his hour, including this, the alarming scale of lebanon's economic collapse. we'll hear how bad the world bank says it is. calls for more protection after a 3rd journalist is killed and mexico in less than 2 weeks. coming up and sport rahile adults stays on track when grand slam number 21 will have actually australian open on the way a little later with jemma. ah, the 1st the world soccer body, fifo has expressed its condolences after 8 people were killed in a stampede. in cameroon, dozens more were injured. and the crushed during africa, top football tournament, the combinations. it happened outside a stadium north of the capitol. yo one day, alexey o'brien reports that desperate grief outside what should have been found that family evening at a football match. instead, this woman is crying out for her father and ask and god, why several people were killed when crowd surged at the entrance to the africa cup of nations match between hosts, cameroon and cameras. oh no, no, i don't know them. i know people behind you said push, i was among them and when i saw that i left to enter from the northwest, they stayed there. and that's when someone left to open the barrier. so someone pulled it by push lock that some fell on top of others, but there were even babies, away from my body, cellphone meadow. as the police closed the gate, a crowd of people came from behind and i was stuck in it, so i couldn't go back. i was below and god spared me to knock on ideas, you know, correct. ha. was seen lying motionless near an entrance to the stadium, one person next to one of the victims and appeared to be trying to resuscitate them . i just know there were 50 people. i saw nearly 50 people on the ground. the african for bull confederation says it's investigating the incident, crisis talks and reported to have been cold, over widest security issues. and the my stadium can hold 6000 people. the capacities been limited to just 60 percent because of coven 19. that capacities increased to 80 percent when the home team cameron's indomitable lions play. i can tell you that tonight, or there was absolutely more than 80 percent that the stadium that was nearly full . i'm assuming that's because of the barriers that hold up, give sort of rustin about from what i can tell you, is that going into the stadium? there's a very serpentine corridor that's not very wide, it's maybe 2 or 3 meters in which and the keyboard go wrong. increasingly frustrated so you know about how cameron was meant to host africa's biggest football tournament in 2019. but the event was taken away from them and handed to egypt. after concern stadiums were not ready for the games. who they were question marks of about construction and security. elim bay is the main stadium for the african tournament. it's a to stage 3 more games, including the final on february 6th, alexia bryan al jazeera police in london, have opened an investigation into government events. hell during corona virus lockdown officers have been passed information from an inquiry led by senior civil servants to gray, which is looking into more than a dozen gatherings. the most recent revelations accused the u. k. prime minister of attending a birthday party organized by his wife. during the 1st lockdown in june 2020 as a result firstly of the information provided by the cabinet of his inquiry team. and secondly, my officers own assessment. i can confirm that the mat is now investigating a number of events that took place at downing street in whitehall in the last 2 years in relation to potential breaches of cavit 19 regulations. before we bring an offer on anderson is almost lets take her to the house of commons and listening to what bar as john, and as saying are reportedly on the ukraine crisis. crane has scarcely known a day of peace ever since. now ukraine faces the danger of a renewed invasion. and this time the force arrayed on ukraine's frontier comprises over a 100000 troops, fall bigger than anything. russia was deployed against her before. if the worst happens in the destructive far part of the, of the russian army where to go ukraine's towns and cities, i shudder to contemplate the tragedy that would in ha ukrainians have every moral and legal right to defend their country. and i believe their resistance would be dogged and tenacious. and the bloodshed comparable to the 1st. who in chechnya, or bosnia, mister speaker, or any other conflict that europe has endured since 1945. no one would gain from such a catastrophe. russia would create a waste land in a country, which as she continuously reminds us, is composed of felon slobs and russia would never be able to call it peace for months. stricken has worked in lockstep with united states and our allies across europe. to avoid such a disaster, we've sought to combine dialogue with de terrors, emphasizing how a united western alliance would exact a forbidding price for any russian incursion into ukraine, including by imposing heavy economic sanctions. and at the same time, we stand ready as we'll raise away, as we always have to address any legitimate russian concerns through honest diplomacy. on the 13th of december, i spoke to president putin and i stressed that nato had no thought of encircling or otherwise threatening his country. and, but russia enjoyed as much right as any other state to live in peace and security. but as i said to him, russia, ukraine also enjoys an equal and symmetrical right to that, russia. and i said that any attack on his neighbor would be followed by tougher sanctions against russia. further steps to help ukraine defend herself and bind increased may to presence, to protect our allies on nato's eastern plaid. the truth is that russia's go is to keep nato forces away from her borders. then if that is russia's go, then invading ukraine could scarcely be more counter productive. by right on we were friends, the foreign and defense secretaries of both conveyed the same message to president putin. i'm prepared, of course, to speak, ready to be tim again. meanwhile, the american deputy secretary of state met our russian kind about in geneva, on the 10th of january, the nato, russia council gathered 2 days later, as the hus knows, the american secretary of state antony, blinking. but the russian foreign minister last friday and the u. s. administration has confirmed president biden's willingness to have another meeting with president putin continuing the bilateral dialogue they began last year. but credible to terrence is the other side of the coin. last night i held a virtual meeting with present biden present. mackerel chancellor sholtes present duda primacy draggy, a general secretary stilton berg, prison, michelle. and present of underline. we agreed that we would respond in unison to any russian attack on ukraine in unison, by imposing coordinated and severe economic sanctions, heavier than anything we have done before against russia. and we agreed on the necessity of finalizing these measures, us with this possible in order to maximize that determined effect. we in the u. k. will not hesitate to toughen our national sanctions against russia in response to whatever president putin may do. and the house will soon him or on his my right on morphin, the foreign secretary. we've already declassified compelling intelligence, exposing russian intent to install a puppy regime in ukraine. and we will continue to disclose any russian use of cyber attacks. false flag operations, or disinformation. amid all these pressures, ukraine, often nothing except to be allowed to live in peace and to seek her own alliances. as every sovereign country has a right to do air last week, the u. k. i to strengthen u. k. u trains ability to defend her soil by supplying anti alma missiles and deploying a small training team of british personnel in addition to the work of operation orbital, which is the host remote, was trained 21000 ukranian troops since 2015. yesterday we took the responsible precaution of temporarily withdrawing some st off and dependence from the british embassy in kev. though i emphasized that the embassy remains open and will continue to provide consider assistance for british nationals in ukraine. and i'm particularly grateful for the dedication of our ambassador, give a melinda simmons and i commend our nato allies for the steps they've taken undertaking to protect eastern flight of the alliance. denmark is sending a frigate to the baltic and deploying full f sixteens to lithuania. to join. nato was longstanding at policing mission. france has expressed its readiness to send troops to romanian. the nato command and the united states has raised the alert level of 8500 combat troops preparing to deploy them in europe. at short notice the british army leads the nato batter group in estonia. and if russia invades ukraine, we would look to contribute to any new nato deployments to protect our allies in europe. in every contact with russia, the u. k. and our allies have stressed our unity and our adherence to vital points of principle. we cannot bargain away the vision of a europe whole and free that emerged in those amazing years from 1989 to 1991 healing the division of our continent by the iron curtain. we will not reopen that, divide by agreeing to overturn the european security order because russia has placed a gun to ukraine's head, nor can we accept the doctrine. implicit in russian proposes the old states, the sovereign, but some a more sovereign than others. the draw a treaty published by russian december would divide our constant once again between free nations and countries whose foreign and defense policies are explicitly constrained by the kremlin in ways that russia would never accept faso more than half of europe, including a dozen or more members of nato and of the european union would be only partially sovereign and required to seek the cremins approval before inviting any minute military puss know from they 10 countries on to their soil. the czech republic, at the very heart of europe, hundreds of miles from russia, would have to ask the kremlin for permission if she wanted to invite a company of german infantry to join an exercise or even to help with flood defenses. there is nothing new about large and powerful nations using the threat of brute force to terrify reasonable people into giving way to otherwise completely unacceptable demands. but if president putin were to choose the path of bloodshed and destruction, he must realize that it would be both tragic and futile and notion. we allow him to believe that he could easily take some smaller portion of ukraine to salami slice, because the resistance will be ferocious. anyone who has been to care as i haven't stood by the wall of remembrance, studied the portraits of 94500 ukrainians who died in defense of the countries in 2014. the total death toll stands in excess of $14000.00. anyone who's been that will know that the ukrainians are determined to fight and have become steadily more skilled a guerrilla warfare. and if russia has used his path, many russian mothers songs will not be coming home. and the response in the international community would be the same. and the pain that would be inflicted on the russian economy will be the same when i speak to present to, to and i will say reminded him that the crucial moments in history, britain and russia stood together. the only reason why they thought countries are permanent members of the un security council is because of the heroism of soviet soldiers in the struggle against fascism side by side with ourselves. and i believe that all of russia's fears could yet be late. and we could find a par to mutual security through patient unprincipled diplomacy, provided the president putin avoids the trap of starting a terrible war. and that's just because i wore that i believe would, and would deserve the condemnation of history. i commend you statement. yeah, some of the opposition gifts. saba, thank you mr. speak and cannot find a prime minister for a bond statement. right, so that was the u. k. prime minister born johnson making a statement in parliament, particularly on the ukraine crisis. and what he said is that we stand ready for honest diplomacy with russia and the prime minister said he is ready to speak to a lottery, or putin again bore his johnson, saying the u. k. and allies will not hesitate. however, to toughen it sanctions, if need be on russia and that parliament, the u. k. parliament that is, will soon hear more on the sanctions for russia. he did say that it would be counter productive for russia to invade ukraine and on the issue of nato. the prime minister mentioned that if russia invades ukraine, than the u. k, would look to contribute to any new nato developments. so that would be military developments. we will keep an eye out on that press conference and on the statement to parliament, excuse me, in anything that the opposition has to say, will bring you all the latest life ins. but in the meantime, on the domestic front, over in the u. k. police in london have now opened an investigation into governments. events that have been held during corona virus lockdown an anderson and is with us. and he'll talk to us about the police investigation, andrew, and where things stand for the prime minister. yes, the saucer bars johnson is concerned. any hope of the destruction. the ukraine cries, has been a distraction to this real big problem. he has with domestic politics right now. what he can forget that because it isn't going away at the metropolitan police commissioner, krista, dick has said that she has instituted an inquiry into a whole number of parties dating back to years in breach alleged alleged breach are alva cove id restrictions. now this coincides with the preparation not by su, gray as senior civil servant, over report and investigation in the cabinet office. it is sent documents to scotland, yard and scotland yard will now start its own inquiry. now this is got, not only as it ramping up the crisis devoris johnson and it is also putting pressure on because this could now mean a long delay in the cabinet office retort. and there is no means of this story going away. after this revelation of another party, a birthday party, this time, back on december than on june 19th, 2020. it said that so far as johnson walked into the cabinet rooms and there was a party, a brief one. he was there only 10 minutes. according to downing street aids, it was arranged by his wife, but that's denied of by downing street and said, and he, there was a breach of up to 30 people of. busy the assembly inside or inside which his band under the cupboard restrictions at that time. so this is really caused a lot of division or amongst the conservative party. and an overriding are overwhelming a move towards dim bonding, a leadership challenge. and also possibly the possibility offers johnson being forced to resign or face that challenge. ok, andrea, thank you so much under simmons reporting from london. let's continue this conversation on what's going on domestically for boris johnson with patrick diamond . he's a professor and public policy at queen mary university of london. he's joining us from london as well. thanks for your time with us. patrick diamond, 1st on the police. now opening an investigation into the the government events held during corona virus lockdown. how significant is the police investigation in the wider context of what's going on? well, good afternoon. it's good to be with you. no doubt. but this is a very significant development for a british prime minister to be subject to a police investigation for police to be investigating, abandons the cause of british government in 10 downing street in white hole is a really unprecedented development. there are not many parallels in british political history where this is happened. so it will of course, focus attention on these events and as your correspond just said, it makes it much harder or johnson to move the agenda on to other issues and try and get away from the components and get these parties with created. why did it take this long, however, for, for the police to announce that they're launching an investigation because it just seems like over the past few weeks, every couple of days there's been yet another revelation about yet another party. while the cabinet office, which is conducting its own internal investigation into these events, have obviously been assembling evidence one could have seen in the past few days. they've assembled so much evidence points towards a criminal breach of the code regulations that existed in past 2 years. that they felt compelled to pass by evidence home to the police. the police, of course, are in a very difficult position, investigating the conduct a sitting prime minister is not something that the metropolitan police will contemplate easily. but no doubt, they feel that the evidence makes that position such that they have to now to take an investigation. i just thought that of course the irony is but the inquiry being conducted by the cabinet office being led by c gray who is a senior white whole civil servant will probably not be delayed because these criminal proceedings are on the way the criminal investigation is on the way so nonsense parts to snatch the house and breathing space because we see great report will probably not be published for some time longer. but of course, it does mean that you know, faces the prospect told, the police inquiry which will no doubt have some very serious repercussions. but his administration, i think what about, i mean, obviously, let's just talk about all the pressure on bar is johnson. and what are the likely scenarios for him going forward? i mean, and are simmons are correspond that was talking about divisions now within the conservative party as well as you know, the leadership challenges might be raised while there is suddenly sense that within the conservative parliamentary party, a significant number of forest johnson's m p. 's are becoming very nervous about the situation. they feel that they are in constituents. of course, the round trips are becoming increasingly vocal nichols more angry. the more they hear about these revelations, or policies and events taking place at the halls of government in the know what will determine bars, johnson, the future will be the unity of his cabinet. and so far, the vast majority of ministers have been writing in the hall behind boris johnson. the question is whether that situation will continue. i think there was some evidence that ministers had previously been loyal to bar johnson like the transport secretary of state grant shops. i'm beginning to become somewhat more critical in their endorsement, the prime minister position. i think they recognize that his position is becoming more and more difficult, not back down his pace. if the cabinet begins away from the prime minister, that if position will doubtless become only has the latest, the latest revelation of the birthday party, you think change anyone's mind in the conservative party? i don't think that that's event per say, change his mind, but it just adds to what is now a long list of events, which is very difficult to explain. remember, the breach of the regulation isn't just the policy took place, is the fact that any indoor mixing between households was banned about particular time. so it looks like an act of hypocrisy. and it looks like these events were going on, recurrently over long periods of time is not just one or 2 policies, but a long list of events. this makes the prime minister's position because more and more difficult. ok, thank you so much, patrick diamond for joining us from london. now, 2000000 people in beijing had been ordered to get tested for a covert. 19 the decision came after a series of hope breaks ahead of the winter olympics next week. those in beijing neighborhood considered high risk for infection, have been told not to leave the city. katrina, you says the outbreak is bad news for china's leaders. this is not the picture they would have wanted so close to the winter game to opens and only 10 days. but we've had reported in china 3400 cases around about

clusters now in the capital beijing. now there were 2 separate clusters that they've been trying to get under control. the 1st was about 6 cases of the highly infectious on the con variant. now

closest to the volcano, and one of the most effective. the red cross estimates waves as high as 15 meters smashed into num, luca and nearby islands. really, nobody knew that there was a wave coming.
