into possible looked on violations are due to be released will be live from downing street protests in australia as it celebrates national day. there is a growing call for the public holiday to get a name change or be scrapped. hi. unsatisfied to the school to cynical reaches the quarter finals of the african cup of nations bots. questions of being asked why that strike is that a man i was allowed to play own off to taking a concussive blow to the head? ah, we begin this news hour in russia. that's where the foreign minister says they're prepared to take appropriate measures if they don't get a constructive answer from the west on their security demands. so survey lab rove also said moscow is not ready to include the you or the organization of security and cooperation in europe and talks to ease building tension over ukraine. western powers are moving to shore of defenses against the possible russian invasion. well, the u. s. is working with gas exporters to limit europe's dependence on russian gas cutters, emir. we'll visit the u. s. white house. on monday, the crisis has prompted one of the biggest mobilizations of western forces in europe in generations, and a 3rd shipment of american weapons and ammunition has now arrived and that was on tuesday. meanwhile, russia as holding a week of military drills near the border with ukraine and in annex crimea, will it says it has no plans to invade. coming up for us on the stories doors to jabari. joining us from moscow to tell us what we can read into the latest comments by the foreign minister sort of a live rock. well, the foreign minister was speaking at the lower house of parliament, known as the duma here on wednesday and t highlighted where things are at. and he said that to the russian government, it will not accept any kind of delays by the government of the united states. in getting a written response from them, they expect to have that response on the security guarantees that the russians wanted from the u. s. about nato, and it's ambitious to expand further. that is something that they cannot accept the russian for. mr. also said that a key of is being pushed to provoke a moscow, and that is a cause of concern. we've also been hearing from the spokesperson of the kremlin, dmitri pascall, who said that the idea of sanctioning at the government here is it will not have any kind of a punishment a fact. rather it will be very destructive. the general sense here is that this kind of rhetoric coming from washington is not conducive to the dialogue that is taking place on a regular basis. now there is a meeting due to begin in paris between that what is known to the as the normandy for um and that formats nobody format that is the russians, the ukrainians, france, and germany. we expect the russian negotiator to speak to the media later on this afternoon to highlight what came out of that meeting. the. this is the 1st time that the representatives from the russian government and the ukranian government will be meeting face to face to discuss the ongoing tensions. and we've also just heard that the russian president vladimir putin will be holding a phone conversation with the french president emmanuel macro on friday. and we expect that to highlight the urgency of the situation and how concerned this country is about the movements that is taking place in neighboring ukraine in terms of the aid in the military supplies that are being delivered to that country. and for their part, they say that the military movement here and the drills that will be taking place with bell roofs in february, are well within their rights. and that they are not going to come under any pressure from external governments about how they can in terms of their own security, move their troops around. ok, or so. thank you so much for that update from moscow. so as you've been hearing european nations are worried about how tensions with russia over ukraine could affect their supplies of gas. and that's because europe gets more than 40 percent of its natural gas from russia. about a 3rd of that passes through ukraine. moscow has already reduced the amount flowing to europe, causing shortages and sending prices storing to record levels and rushes threatening to cut supplies even further. if sanctions are imposed and not just of gas, but oil and metals to some countries are more reliant than others. germany, for example, gets more than half of its supplies from russia, and the nor, and stream to pipeline would increase that if the german government gives its final approval. let's discuss this with the cornelia meyer, who's an oil and gas specialist and the ceo at my resources. joining us from burn switzerland, welcome to al jazeera. so how seriously would conflict in ukraine threatened europe's gas supplies? well, thank you, doreen for having me. well, they do sweat that, and what we seen so far is because of the cheer political sanctions also because reza was not just only a north storage, not just only in europe, but also in russia. were sort of bay depleted after the harsh winter of last year. there was less gas flowing. and so, but if the, if the russians really make good on their threat of sending even less gas, dad will send prices soaring. you know, europe gets gas a through l. m g gets it from the, from the mediterranean. it also gets it from norway. but russia, as you said, is very important and 8th berries in the if there is more tension at that means prices are going to go off, right? so we're putting really cut off energy supplies, or would he be wary of taking such steps against order ultimately, his most important customers as well as well because doesn't go both ways. russia is hugely dependent on the european markets, and europe is hugely dependent on russia. it goes both ways, but the in the between to dependency has come down no last t enough time we had such tics which is what 2014, when the, when the whole m u crane crimea, issues it boiled over. europe was pretty much the only off take of rush and gas. now, a lot of it flows eastward to china, but europe is yo, russia largest need them are less so than it used to be to europe, however, is still russia's largest customers are not. it is west, as large as customer by de dependents has come down so that and build and that is part of the problem that emboldens russia and them and, and, and, and the, and europe is emboldened. so they both saw a wee bit too and both emboldened on both sides. what about the north stream too? i mean, it is vital for germany as we've been reporting and, and wider europe as well. but to what extent is russia exploiting this lack of a unified european strategy in order to get what it wants in ukraine? absolutely, absolutely. and what seems to is very important to germany. it's important to some other northern european conquests as well. but the 88 days and who can is certainly a honing in on that. but, you know, with the previous government to 8 was a, was 8, was some a no top thing now that we have to greens and the german government, who am much more skeptical, is especially di, employment is under, lina play a bad book, much more skeptical of russia, it's not quite as sacrosanct in the german government, amy more as it used to be. ok, thank you so much. currently my are for speaking to us from switzerland. thank you very much. well, the saudi coalition fighting in yemen has launched here, strikes in the capital sun, all the targets included who the military sites, as well as a national television and radio tower. that's after the rebels who control the capitol fired more missiles towards abu dhabi in the united arab emirates on monday . the way he says it intercepted and destroyed them. hm. a lot thought has more from sunup. the ad as how did it quotient airstrikes have namely targeted a number of areas in santa especially the are the radio and tv tower, which is situated in the north of the downtown of santa. this tower was hurt. according to the hoses are soldiers. we have also went there, but the visit you saw our military side, we couldn't go there inside this area it's. it's used to be for the t, v and radio broadcast tower that it was that was of bir, covering the local areas. but so far after this was light have been launch has been launched. the, the, the have transfer this kind of broadcast to the satellite, cham channels. but now we are also the, it's our unit quality. and 0 strikes have continued all over the night of tuesday and continued until the early hours of wednesday. and your survey booming industry producing some of your men's leading exports. but years of conflict have damage the fishing industry. many fishermen say it's too dangerous and expensive to continue. going to see catch lopez had a on reports. from above, the view appears to show a city unaffected by him to war. and aiden's coastline tells a different story. one, a fisherman struggling to megan's me. mohammed young is one of them. he remembers when thousands of fishing boats ventured on to the red sea coming back with tuna se roster. now there are fewer fishermen and fewer prospects. i'll divide more de la lift. they are at the price of thought and fisher materials have gone up to fighting an insecure. it is really affecting us economically. medical life in general is more difficult. like i said before the suited seafood was among human topics. blue bird with years of fighting its ports and processing sights opened a throught fisherman had been killed and thousands more displaced. what was it again? yeah, i know you put that out. yeah. maybe i'll days or i'm predictability. it all depends on supply and demand. sometimes we buy a good catch from the local fisherman and we make a profit. other days we lose money. moved to the in, in 30000000 people need some form of humanitarian aid. buying fish has become a luxury. many can't afford. prices have doubled in some areas, so more fishermen are sensing their catch abroad for higher profit. about 500000 people work in the switching industry before the war. now it employs less than half with limited fuel. many can't afford how you're petrol prices, where they're both others can get out of debt. and some will say i didn't them loma the reports of fishermen who are killed at c r. but we know some of them got shot because they got into restricted waters to zones where fishing is off limits because of the conflict. but the fishermen see the industry though damaged, is still a vital part of the community and their livelihoods. they hope in time things didn't prove for them and their country cars. hello. this is a young l 0. plenty more had only i'll just do news. our including celebrations and working faso is hundreds march in the capital to support the military crew and in sport action from the australian open is one of the top seats in the men's draw races into the semi finals. ah, ah, but 1st in the u. k. an internal report into a ledger gatherings held by the government in violation of coven 19 rules is due to be released soon. it could be crucial for prime minister boars. johnson, who will face and peas in just a few hours time. the london metropolitan police is also investigating whether any criminal offenses were committed more than a dozen gatherings or to set to have taken place, including a birthday party for the prime minister. let's get an update from paul brennan, who's just joining us from downing street in london. so paul, just clarify for us the state of the report and when it may be released that my understanding is that the reports is now complete or what is not clear is the timing of its release. we're here in downing street at the moment. it is a, a report that was commissioned by boris johnson as an internal investigation is not an independent inquiry. and as such, he gets 1st sight of it. as of this morning at around 8 o'clock this morning, down the street. he still had not received the copy of that report from its author, sue. great. we know that because the foreign secretary list trust that was saying that on the morning broadcast route. the expectation is that the report will land at downing street this morning at some point. and the question then is how it's going to get it get released and the labor party, the opposition parties, they want advanced sites of it so that they can digest the contents of the report. and that makes it unlikely, but the regular weekly prime ministers question session, which happens at noon every wednesday. it's unlikely now the parents, johnson will be in a position to bounce off the back of that p. m q session and make a separate statement about what su grey has discovered about events that took place here down the street during 2020. it's still a moveable feast. there's a lot of uncertainty, but the expectation is growing. that the report will be out later on today, and we will be a lot clearer then as to exactly what the fate of the prime minister is. ok, paul will cross back to you later on. thank you so much, paul brennan, reporting from downy street. let's say continue this conversation with jonathan list is a political commentator. he's joining us by skype from london as well. thanks for being with us on the news. our so how perilous is the prime minister's position this morning? it's really theory. i mean, obviously we don't know exactly what's in the grade reports, but the fact that the evidence seems have been passed on to the police who are now investigating it. we had our thank to go to the prime minister to run by wind also . and we still busy season legal gathering. and so obviously we, this is all conjectured the minor but it seems very serious. but typically if the police are not involved. yeah, i mean, that's the thing jonathan list that the parties are under police investigation, as you say, due to potential breaches. i mean, how bads could this be for him considering that this could potentially be criminal? will this data plays really the same as it always has been, which is that the prime minister cannot be forced out unless a majority of his own. m. p. 's want him to be now obviously, if he's not going to keep it for any crimes, he's not going to face the jail sentences even if he is if you've been to a party. so even if the police find, but he's guilty that he's still isn't going to be enough to do posting on his own. so really and not some stuff that piece will have to decide the damage, the tory brian sufficiently. these know when i last spoke to them, so it is ultimately up to the tories as you're saying whether johnson will still hold office. i mean, he can, he continue to maintain some of the supports, at least from half of the conservative. it's really hard to say and the, the question kind of y'all to change is every day you like, i'm because the story moving, say past 2 weeks ago being the he was completely gone. the last week is position seem to be a little bit stronger, but really the polls now very clear that people have lost trust and faith in boys johnson. they don't like they've made up their minds about him, about the public has made up mind about appointments. they normally don't change it back again and say, the breast get the concept is that the longer they drive on the more the whole concert, the part the brand will be drive on. and that will make you like. and so i think it's in the interest of confessed, is it nothing else to end date and end to leadership as well? the long gone, the better to the name of the you're enjoying with the titles. but the thing is what the conservative has one to an election at this point in time. well, it's not a general election leadership like, oh, busy. obviously they carried own risk because it is a period of prolonged caled than the need time to bed in the really the time to do that is 2 years before an election rather than 6 months before an election. for example, when boys johnson is tainted the find really is they need to get rid of the time. d dot is now not in their interest in the national interest. because boys johnson doesn't have the moral authority. police ok, we will wait to see where the contents of that report, but for the time being jonathan list, we thank you for speaking to us from london. thanks. now, medical workers sincerely own say they're better equipped and more prepared for a repeat of an ebola outbreak. the blood clotting virus killed 4000 people there 8 years ago as well as many others in neighboring countries. as the dream reports from the city of waterloo, ebola survivors and doctors have learnt lessons from doctors auster mom at mercer. i can't remember the last time the association for paula survivors of which he secretary carried out a campaign to educate the public about the virus. funding has dried up and just looking after themselves and their families is quite a struggle. but this is not the only problem survivors like mohammed fries sigma, the only evil as of a of family or some of them via been living with them because of the support. you know, a baby rise money bomb. well, you know, that was apply bernardez, no supplies, would they look at them new cut in differently day. more than 26000 people were infected by a border after the 1st case was reported in west africa. in 2014 and more than 11000 people died in 3 west african countries. many of the 4000 people who died of a bull lane setting young are buried here. it is own. the virus remains a fright. but because of past experiences in dealing with the disease, experts say medics are better equipped and prepared for any outbreak. at a military facility in freetown is sarah leon's, foster bowler response center. hundreds of people were treated here. but in the absence of new cases, the center now handles other infectious diseases including covered 19 kennel stevens, the valley commander of the country's army, medical corps was part of the bowler response team eighty's ago. when on our to those not to walk in, if we don't know what walks and then i think ran a bit acquisition done before. however, i don't think we're out of the woods durant pandemic. big investments were med in facilities and equipment to fight the virus. but if he shall say most can't be used now. so all those infrastructure resources, their equipment deteriorated, and then we're not able to log into all those facilities. do inequality demands in pandemic. despite that, he says the experience gained during a bullet potomac, has helped with the coffee 19 response by so vulnerable group. but mohammed remains concern minnesota. eunice still wouldn't know how to protect themselves from the bowler. the fears and i'll break now. good course, as much damage as in 2014 or even more. ahmed edris al jazeera waterloo steadily on. a rally's been held unbroken of fossils capital to show support for the soldier is behind a military coup. ah, hundreds of people celebrated in the streets and wanted to go on tuesday. military says it took power because of the government's failure to contain attacks from arm groups. the united nations on the u. s. are calling for the immediate release of the deposed president rockmart cabaret let. so get an update from sam at nick, who is joining us now of ice guy from the capital itself a while guy do. who so, sam, what are people most concerned about now in the country? i think people, i mean yesterday, as you said, there was a routing and people were really excited in on board with military. and i think that is still the feeling right now. but there's a lot of questions we haven't really heard from the military, from distance monday since they put out that that general statement on the state broadcaster, i think people are wondering what our next steps. who are they willing to work with? you know, what are their plans? are they, you know, are they willing to work with civil society, which political groups are they going to work with? and then i think there are big questions as well in terms of the security vacuum. you know, they think that they can secure the country better than the president was doing. but everyone is wondering how they're going to do that. some people are wondering if this will create an opportunity to, you know, opportunity for these arm groups to launch an attack to sort of say, you know, just because you're doing this doesn't mean you're more stable. so i think there's a lot of questions right now, but how they're going to secure the country and who they're going to work with moving forward. and when we were speaking yesterday, just about 24 hours ago, there was still no news from the deposed president. has he been heard from he hasn't been heard from there's, or there are a lot of, you know, speculation and rumors flying around. some people that i've spoken to who are part of, you know, that the, the soldiers part of the to have said that he is in what we do. he's in a abeline one of the out, you know, the neighborhoods around the capitol outside of downtown and that he's safe. i bet nothing is confirmed and we haven't heard from him. all right, thank you so much. some redneck reporting from log into now, australia is observing its national day with celebrations and protests. it's the date when the 1st british ships sailed into present day sydney in 1788, an arrival the march. the start of colonization rallies had been taken place against the oppression of indigenous people. sarah clark has more from brisbin. ah, celebrations began at 1st light with his treading flag raised alongside indigenous dances at a traditional smoking ceremony. january 26 is the country's official national di, mocking the arrival of the 1st flight of ships from britain in sidney cove, in 1788. effectively founding australia, despite all we have endured and the challenges that are still ahead. i am just thankful to be in australia and to live in australia with my family. this land we call home. but while some celebrated others chose to protest, demonstrations were held in most major cities. the protest is cold january 26 invasion day. they said marks the start of colonization and the genocide of aboriginal australians and people from the toast, right? audience. and they want events to focus on what they say are injustices faced by the nation's 1st people. i represent the dies morning ambrey, lately when i think that it was celebrated january recorded and reportable folder where we played in a straight. i wasn't fully celebrated on january 26 until it became official in 1994. but many want this day changed or scrapped entirely to make way for commemoration. the recognizes indigenous australians and a history of disposition indigenous laid it. so it's important to address the inequality faced by the aboriginal communities. for centuries. we do have to change attitudes about how 1st nations april i traded in structuring. we have to reduce the i and pass ration rights. and 1st nations paper. there are way too many black get seen custody in our country. a inequality in the already in disadvantage is still quite large between aboriginal and more knowledgeable strengths. and soon, mccarthy says, australia die should be an event that allows the country to reunite a view that supported by an increasing number of people in australia. sarah class al jazeera prison, australia, or india her celebrated it's republic day with a large scale military parade. thousands of people turned out for the ceremony despite it being paired back because of the pandemic. the event marks the anniversary of the creation of the countries constitution. $950.00 still had only al jazeera news. our we will tell you why the hong kong authorities have extended a locked down imposed on 3 apartment blocks in sport, some spectacular goals for me, africa of nations. the best of the action coming up with sarah. ah, the snow has mostly stopped across greece and turkey. hello everyone, but it's a 12 punch because we've got a cold pusher there. a northerly wind here, but hang on a bit. i think here's your 3 day forecast by thursday in to double digit. that's going to melt the snow, but sub 0 over night. so that means those roadways and sidewalks won't turn icey cross the balkans. we've had a cold snap in montenegro and albania. in fact, in albania, over the last few days, schools have been close to ron ad, 7 degrees. it's while below average showers are zip in across scotland. and we've got a steady stream of rain point into western norway. although a high of plus 3 in time, bottom end of iberia, unsettled, so that means we've got cloud cover and showers rolling across this area and that disturbance, it brought this snow to greece and turkey. it's dropping down some cool weather. also wet weather, harrow, 13 degrees, that's almost a good 10 below where you should be. meantime, tropical storm on a, produce some flash flooding in bali at least 2 people have died here. here's where the remnants, the leftovers of it are rolling right across san b. it's going to push into at the southeast of angola and the days to come. meantime high heat still for the northern cape, upping to 38 degrees on wednesday. season. take care. ah tough for our time or minutes of practice. ah, but to a t bad dream of becoming afghanistan's 1st ever when to make the p. m. they will have to overcome many mountains, a path of hope and inspiration, where the light shines. witness on al jazeera, the latest news been extremely harsh. provision for 10 years, they was the victims of night, just most people got to the money chatting with detailed coverage born and that, oh my god, my practice growing power, large part of providers. we are calling on behalf of here from the around the world on the house people, years of living on the street actually accelerate the aging, brought them lou on the top stories and they all are in our rushes. foreign minister surgeon law says their parents to take appropriate measures if they don't get a constructive answer from the west on their security demand. comments, comments us, confirm that she talks with gas exporters for alternative supplies to europe. its concern, moscow could cut supplies in the event of a conflict with ukraine. the saudi coalition fighting and yemen has launched a series of airstrikes from the capitol sent off. the targets included the military sites in several areas as well as a national tv and radio tower and internal report into a legit gathering tell by the u. k. government in violation of code, 1900 rules is due to be published soon. it could be crucial for prime minister boris johnson, who will face m p. 's and just a few hours for lunch at metropolitan police is also investigating whether any criminal offenses were committed. thing with our top story in the head of the self proclaimed on net screw peoples republic, that's in southeastern ukraine, says kiev has asked more than a 120000 troops near the line of contact and the don boss, region, dentist, partial, and told al jazeera that his forces do not rule out a military escalation, venue was more than more than one. it is possible. but unfortunately, this possibility on the part of ukraine is in relation to nato. you see the west, the western countries and give are shouting out about russian aggression that more than 120000 ukranian troops are concentrated in dawn battle. while many an eastern ukraine have been living with conflict for many years, an estimated 14000 people have died and fighting between russian by separatists and ukrainian forces. and as the international standoff continues, prospect for peace in the region are looking even more fragile. with the hemi reports of div car in the winter see the landscape on the frontline of this conflict seems frozen in time. the ukrainian army is entrenched just a few kilometers north of done, yet the stronghold of russian back separatist. the enemy is not far away. the phone did all one phone with me. so as they can, they hear us too. ok. the army has moved in to what is left of the industrial area on the outskirts of at the fca. the conflict also seems to be frozen in time. neither side making gains since the war broke out in 2014. few soldiers believed that the large scale russian invasion is imminent. even if they remain on the alert. i shocker york was so it's a door to use and i think this is all a move to the stabilize the situation inside the country was been going on for 8 years now. but we trained, we have modern weapons, and the hell from nato was arriving. or we feel the support and we are ready to fight and just don't q gunshots from the other side. in clear violation of disease by agreement, which international monitors say is regularly breached by both sides. but even of the conflict has been at as they made for several years now. life has never really fully recovered in the towns and villages along the contact line. people here feeling that their lives have also been put on hold. somehow. the population of ad v fca is a 3rd smaller than before. the war started alena yohina, and yet in the us they love sky among the very few who never left their hometown. beneath the giggles in the tool of the conflict is apparent and their story is a reflection of the frontline in some way i am aaliyah's as ukrainian and then the some of her close relative support to separate just so im gonna stick out enough those that on yeah, and it turned their back on us you. they have their own vision about what's happening and they say, we are not cease. what are some even call to me an enemy and the full meaning of the word and yelling and moved here from siberia. when the soviet union still existed, said i now my ex pleasure, my relatives are all over russia. and when the war started, he told me i had to return with him, but i have my house and family here. many of them mine the military. so for them, i betrayed my legion, is to russia. people here have learned to live, to the rhythm of the front line. but the devastating effect of this long sluggish war will impact their lives many say, for several generations to come. let's i bring in her that for an update from our div casso had, are you say that people are a used to the threat of conflict and they've lived that way for many years, but this time around? are they more worried? well actually i was just talking to a lady while standing by and she told we actually we have learned to live with the threat of a russian invasion. she says it we it, we've been hearing about it for the past 8 years. it hasn't happened yet, but you know, believe that people are worried. they do trust the army. they do believe what they hear from their leadership, that this is a much better trained army than it was 8 years ago. at this time. they won't be any element of surprise that they're well prepared and that the spirits of the soldiers are high. but still at a certain point, if there is a war, they know that their lives as good it be. they're going to be devastated. someone have to leave their home towns, they live to villages. they'll have to go elsewhere and i don't know what they come back to. and then you have to, oh, to put to bear in mind that even if people have come back like example here at viva, there is no social life. many told us the economy is doing okay, but it's not great. so even if it's kind of a safe life at the moment, is certainly not what it used to be and any war would make that worse. so how that, what sorts of preparations if any, are being put in place for civilians just in case a war does break out well from what we see there is no, there are no preparations whatsoever. it is actually the great contrast with what you keep on hearing about a, you know, a western powers sending a weapons, sending the equipment to boost via craig, an army. well, when you hear on the ground and you ask people and you ask local authorities, well, what is being prepared for the civilians? and in case this war breaks out, in case there is an invasion. and yesterday, what the mayor of this place is actually a military man. he runs the civil administration of the town. he told me that they're still waiting to hear from care of what to do with the civilian. so there is not really any thing on the ground yet prepared for the civilians. and this is a bit of what happened back in 2014, that people really had to get in their cars and go some way. they had relatives elsewhere. they went elsewhere, those who state is basically because they had no way to go. so it's a really big controversy between what you hear and what you see with all these western powers, promising all that support to the army and to the leadership. and then what you see under ground, which is life as usual, or no preparations made a couple of days ago actually had the head of the national security council in kiev, who went on the record, appealing to people to come down. he even appealed to the local media to tone it down. he said that there was no threat of an imminent invasion. anyway, not in the short term. i and i was bay, later we heard from president zalinski himself, who has been warning all along that they could be a war and that russia is ready to invade at any time. well, yesterday, or he was saying the contrary, he was also trying to appeal to people to tell them to come down and things were under control and the government has a hand on all of this. but when you he under ground, well actually do feel that people at the moment at least i left her their own devices. okay, thank you so much. had abdul hamid now in november last year, al jazeera reported on the case of one young kurdish man who survived freezing temperatures in the forests between poland and bella. ruth, he was 1002, arrived on the use border as believing they could find a better life, but they were met with a tough response from polish. authorities are correspond, jonah hall, returned to the border to find him and hear his story. blew you away in these woods and you could be wandering for days yet even deep winter doesn't discourage them. border guard video is said to show some of the dozens of attempts still being made each day to cross from battle ropes into poland. and the european union for the few that make it an unpleasant welcome awaits indefinite detention in crowded, militarized barracks with bod, windows and limited access to the outside world. less asylum seekers than prisoners and a breach of international law can pick a camp is like a prison and does not represent europe. most of the people he came from that countries because of the pain. they shouldn't be abused a 2nd time. it's like torture. that was the voice of aland ahmed, hama, a kurdish refugee who had hoped to reach his mother living in the u. k. we 1st met holland in a polish hospital in december, in obvious distress, having been rescued in the forest with both. mm. he was taken away shortly afterwards by the border gods, despite please by human rights activist, monica, to fall, cosca that he be given mental health support, alarmed was detained. it's melinda professionally, is taking me, sending the noodles. i mean, he's very upset to be in a place like that gun. he doesn't fully understand it. he knows that he crossed the border legally, but he doesn't understand why he finds himself and conditions like that book on up to 1800 detained asylum seekers. in 8 camps of launched hunger strikes and sometimes violent protests over conditions. the polish government says this is why they're locked up in the 1st place. aid agencies call it a deliberate policy of deterrence. my name is ron now, and i own a. he to ended up in detention. this isn't worse than what is on the call, you know, even on and then, you know, when you get out, you can make sure you're in the, you can, you know, if you have access to a 2 edition that can come in here and there's, nobody can come here and you don't know when you can will, and that's the

channels can be quite confusing that sometimes it takes too long to reach the hotline number. they get free meals to live at each day. they complain that the quality of the food is sub par, and there are also hygiene issues. we've seen piles of rubbish built up around the buildings here. so indeed it is quite challenging for these people. and also their skepticism about whether that friday deadline will be extended. even more cases are hovering around a 120 a day and that might seem quite low compared to other major cities in the world. but for hong kong, that's the largest daily

living for many people is going to rise further. rosalyn jordan reports from washington, d. c. on those who are already struggling to make ends me just a few months ago, the international monetary fund predicted the global economy would flourish in 2022 . but now the i m. f has a different outlook, thanks to inflation not seen in decades. i am of economists said inflation as the result of pretty much everything going wrong at the end of 2021. the arm across search, sickening hundreds of millions of workers worldwide. the resulting production cuts in everything from oil and gas to consumer goods, to fresh and packaged foods. visitors to this food bank in washington, d. c. se rising prices are harming their families. is really impacted my family tremendously. because if not, we'll be here. you know, and in a order for an organization to help us as, as like, as of left, it's in valley, nothing in this, those, this shop with them. there's the ongoing global supply chain disruptions likely to be around well in to 2022. the only way to reverse inflation says the i m f that raise interest rate for us. monetary policy is at a critical juncture. in most countries, when inflation is broad based, alongside a strong recovery, like in the united states, or high inflation runs the risk of becoming entrenched as in some emerging market and developing economies and advanced economies. extraordinary monetary policy suppose should be withdrawn in china, it's 0. cobit policy is having an impact on the world's 2nd largest economy. the report found that less demand for housing and consumer goods likely will depress its growth back in the u. s. thanks to a jobs glut created by the pandemic. u. s. workers are demanding and getting bigger paychecks. but the u. s. government says consumer prices also rose 7 percent in december, wiping out whatever financial cushion these workers thought they had between that and the end of a federal child tax credit program. low and middle income families are back to counting every penny, sometimes coming up short. so we're having to make some choices about what people receive in their bag and we're having to cut down on some of the more expensive grains, the more expensive canned items. and substitute those with some that are a little bit cheaper enabled. the other thing that we're having to do is figure out what we can find and we're not able to find as much variety as we were able to find . even last summer. the i m f says inflation should go down if the federal reserve does raise interest rates this year. that's because people don't spend as much gland credit gets more expensive. it also says economic growth should improve as more people get vaccinated and return to work. but if the pandemic worsens again, the i m f says inflation will affect all people's lives for some time to come. rosalind jordan l 0 washington a still had only as they were news our one of baseball's grapes is headed to the hall of fame details on the way in sports. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah hello again time for the sports those hear sarah. thank you during, well, we started the africa cup of nations. why crushes are being asked why cynical allowed their strike aside your money to play on for 10 minutes after being knocked out on the pitch. now he collided with kate voted goalkeeper early in the 2nd half, visibly shaken. he still got up, you'll see there in a moment. and then he continued to play on while the goalkeeper was shown a red cart and taken hospital 9 minutes late today. not even scored the opening goal of the game for center goal, who went on to win funeral to reach the quarter finals, but surely after that goal, he complained of a headache and dizziness and was substituted then taken to

though if money will be fit to play the court final against either. molly wick tauriel guinea who play later on wednesday now the other match on tuesday, so morocco fight from a gold down to beat from all to one will always lead to an incredibly long range effort from dina and mango. definitely worse than other like day 3. now bots, morocco did hit back to their own winning it with a fantastic, free kick from a shelf hockey. me. they'll face on the egypt or ivory coast. now those 2 plates from wednesday, egypt were not run his brother in the group while they were in finished talk of there's

chile and columbia. it's all to play for chelly that just one points of the qualifying places they've chosen to host on host argentina venue more than 2000 meters above sea level. if our 2nd match was in peru in uruguay, in paraguay, this match would be held in santiago without a doubt. but we're going to play in the pause against bolivia. so it makes sense to use this match for climate to zation. it's nothing personal against argentina, even though we have the right to host the game here. while sticking qualifying and things are really tight in north central america and caribbean zone, the 1st 3 teams go through and the top 4 currently only separated by 2 points. the usa 2nd behind need is canada, who they play on sunday before that though, the americans take salvatore and freeze in
