you know, wrestling is swell. the dean, secrecy, one a one east gets re wreck ceased inside his sport, where ancient tradition meets modern scandal on l. g 0. ah, agreeing to disagree. crisis talks between the u. s. and russia of a ukraine end without a breakthrough. fundamental principles that the united states in our partisan allies are committed to defend, that includes those that would impede the sovereign right of ukrainian people to write their own future. there is no traits space, they're not, ah, hello again, i'm adrian for them. this is al jazeera ally from doha,

also coming up as strikes by the saudi led coalition and killed beasts. 60 people in yemen and trigger a nationwide internet blackout plus ah, but i'm whoa, whoa, whoa, legend me has died of the age of 70 for ah . mistakes were high and talks between the top diplomats of russia, the u. s. over ukraine, but a near 90 minute meeting between until he bring couldn't so gay law for off ended in geneva without resolution. but with the hope for future negotiations. moscow is still sticking to its demands that nato should not allow membership to ukraine and other former soviet states and blanket reiterated the position of the u. s. and it's european allies, but those demands cannot be met. us secretary of state antony been consist that

there will be a reaction if russian forces crossed the border into ukraine. based on our discussion, i believe we can carry forward this work of developing understanding agreements together that ensure arnett, our mutual security. but that's contingent on russia stopping its aggression toward ukraine. so that's the choice, the grocer faces. now, you can choose the path of diplomacy that can lead to peace and security, or the path that will lead only to conflict, severe consequences and international condemnation. still, mom would love to publish at the end of our meeting, we agreed that next week the us is going to present us with written answers to all of our puzzles. and you also said, in particular, that you claim as know, we present new threats to russia. and i would like to once again remind every friend who analyzes our public state men's and our analysis. and i would like to

say that never before has russia is designed to it's a visual represent is the ukranian people to explain our white house correspondent, kimberly, how can i live in washington, sir? kimberly the talks were frank and business like they ended without resolution to day, but they may continue to talk. what's the u. s. strategy here? well, the strategy is to take a look at what was provided by russia. we knew going in antony blink, and the us secretary state was very frank going into these discussions. there weren't expected to be any big breakthroughs. but the break through was that they are still talking and that is an encouraging sign. given the fact that for weeks we have seen this wrapping up an escalation. the us president was very clear when he spoke in his press conference from the easter of the white house this week. he does believe that vladimir putin will test the west and will invade ukraine. the question becomes, the matter which it may take place,

will it be some sort of land invasion? will it be something like a cyber attack? the secretary of state said in his press conference in that, wrapped up in the last couple of hours that the united states has seen, the intelligence plans do exist for some sort of invasion. whether not the united states and the west can bring russia back from that is now the big question. so the secretary of state comes back to washington. he will be speaking with the national security council. we know that russia is expecting some sort of response and writing and washington is expected the same from russia. what we do know at this point though, is that the united states is not going to provide the assurances that russia is looking for, namely that there will not be in writing some sort of guarantee of no further expansion in terms of the membership of nato. and that is going to be a sticking point. so there is going to need to be some overcoming of these

differences. whether or not they can do that. it seems to be a promising sign that they're still talking. but the question remains whether or not this will be acceptable to those that make the final decision. the u. s. president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin. to that end, we should point out watching very carefully. the u. s. president does have a number of appearances before the cameras and his agenda will be watching to see what he says about what has transpired in the last few hours. a white house correspondent, kimberly how could reporting life have from washington? kimberly many thanks. will scott lucas is a professor at the university of birmingham in the u. k. he says that the u. s. secretary of state made an extremely important statement in geneva. this is the firm, his statement by a high level u. s. official. not only around the specific issue of ukraine, but around russia's position in other areas of europe, such as the baltics, for example. and what blake him was saying, let's just break this down. he is one. of course the, the u. s. in europe and nature will stand against any cross poor russian military

invasion. we knew that already discussions today, but for the 1st time, here's the 2nd point blank and extended that commitment to say we will take action against the ongoing russian operations inside ukraine to destabilize and even to try to break up the country. this notion of hybrid warfare that rushes pursued since 2014. that is an extension of the american position and 3 blank and pushed back very clearly against this russian idea that the central issue was a u. s. written response to moscow's demand for a guarantee. and said, no, that's not the issue here. if we're going to have discussions, we get back to the table on ukraine. and then we also have wider discussions on a security framework over nuclear and conventional forces. i think it was very significant that he spoke after a while for off because in effect, as lincoln said, this puts the ball back into moscow's court. now witches are you just going to continue to hold to your line and hold onto that threat versus ukraine,

or you going to reconsider your position in yemen, at least 60 people are reported have been killed in an air strike that had a temporary detention center who the rebels say that the saudi led coalition struck the facility and saw the province. the area is a hootie stronghold rescue operations are underway to try to find survivors who may be buried under the rubble. will have also strikes targeting yelman's port city of her data. at least 4 people were killed there and 17 wounded with the rebel say the saudi led forces struck a telecommunications building that triggered a nationwide internet blackout which continued for hours. the web monitoring group net blocks says that connectivity dropped at around one a. m on saturday, or on friday. i'm sorry and under see fiber optic called the falcon cable system provides connectivity for parts of asia and africa. the cable runs under the gulf of aidan and into a data which came under attack on friday mohammed. our tub has more now from the
