<\/strong>In this episode of The Stream, we meet three\u00a0Al Jazeera journalists \u2013\u00a0Hoda Abdel-Hamid, Katrina Yu, and Julia Muldavin \u2013 to hear about the stories they are covering around the world.<\/p>\n

Ukraine
<\/strong>Diplomacy appears to be\u00a0making little progress in the standoff between Ukraine and Russia. The US on Monday announced it had put 8,500 troops on alert for possible deployment to eastern Europe. In response, Russia held large\u00a0scale military drills near the Ukraine border. Separately, the United Kingdom has\u00a0urged its European allies<\/a> to have sanctions ready in the event of a Russian invasion. In this segment,\u00a0Hoda Abdel-Hamid will get us up to speed.<\/p>\n

Beijing Olympics<\/strong>
With the Beijing Winter Olympics\u00a0just over a week away,\u00a0the coronavirus pandemic continues to have an impact. NBC and ESPN, two major US broadcasters, announced they would not be sending key reporters\u00a0to cover the events. There are also concerns over freedom of\u00a0expression after a Beijing 2022 official<\/a> announced that any behaviour by athletes that violated Chinese rules could be subject to punishment. However, the International Olympic Committee says athletes are free to express themselves on any matter within the Olympic village as long as it is not during competition or medal ceremonies. In this segment, Katrina Yu joins us from Beijing.<\/p>\n

Homelessness in Hawaii<\/strong>
Hawaii, where the average home price<\/a> is about\u00a0$1.1 million\u00a0is the most expensive US\u00a0state in which to live.\u00a0The lack of affordable housing is deeply felt by the Native Hawaiian community. One in three households is at risk of homelessness and, according to the 2020 O\u2019ahu Point In Time Count<\/a>, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders account for over half of the state\u2019s homeless population, although the group only represents 20 percent of the overall population. The issue is also the subject of a new short film<\/a> by AJ+. In this segment, filmmaker\u00a0Julia Muldavin will tell us more.<\/p>\n
