[000:00:00;00] ah, alger 0, great with no i this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm adrian said again. this is that he's are alive from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. ukraine demands a meeting with the kremlin, as diplomatic efforts and warnings intensify against the fed. russian invasion o promised indians more than the killing of

a teenager by his ready forces during demonstrations in the occupied west bank will be live in india's most popular states where the election is testing the popularity of prime minister around remote iep trucks towed away drivers, arrested as canadian police end a cobit 19 processed reopening, a vital us trade crossing. and it's both just the 2nd time in franchise history, the los angeles rams have their hands on the super bowl trophy, the rams. beating the cincinnati bengals to secure the nfl biggest price. ah, ukraine is demanding a meeting with russia and other members of the european security group, the o. s. c. e. within 48 hours. kiev wants direct answers from moscow about why more than 100000 russian soldiers have taken up position on ukraine's eastern board up.

the kremlin insists that it's not planning an invasion. first, at western governments though, are convinced that it is germany's chancellor. olaf schultz is the latest leader to launch a diplomatic mission. he's during care of shortly and will be in moscow on tuesday . u. s. president joe biden has also been advised to ukraine by president of lot in his landscape the to spoke by phone on sunday. we have correspondence in russia and ukraine. monitoring developments will be live with dawson jabari and moscow in just a moment. but 1st let's go to natasha butler, who's in ukraine's capital kia. so germany's chancellor earl of schultz will be there to day. what are we expecting from him? yes. oh la sholtes and keep it a time that berlin is cooling critical are the german chancellor clearly feels that there is still room for diplomacy. germany adamant along with european powers that

a war must be averted on european soil. and the diplomatic push to that aim continues now shows we'll meet with ukrainian president followed, amazed lensky. they will talk about the situation. they will talk about that a russian military build up on ukraine's board is now on 3 sides of the country. germany is expected to discuss also the possibility of offering ukraine more financial aid. there has been though, some frustration amongst us, some ukranian officials and government ministers with berlin, though, over berlin's refusal to off a weapon. so that is something that is likely to come up. ukraine's ambassador to london has made some comments that, of course, quite a stir to say the least. what's he been saying? yes, ukraine. some buster to london a was a major radio interview in the u. k. in which he suggested that ukraine could be ready to give up its ambitions to become part of later in the future. now,

those comments are extremely controversial. in fact, they have been denied by a number of ministers and ukrainian officials. here, being part of nato is enshrined in ukraine's constitution. and so the frank, that he has come out with these comments, some people here in key the say, look, perhaps this is a way of ukraine trying to gauge public opinion to see how it would be seen if the ukrainian government would to consider making any concessions to russia to being what are the ambassador in london called being more flexible, we'll have to see how that all plays out, but extremely controversial comments. indeed, we are expecting dia also from ukraine's foreign minister. he is likely to address those comments. and on sunday, the german government, according to german government sources, i should say, the question of whether or not european powers would consider

a moratorium. all nato was raised. germany says that is not at all the plan that is not on the table. so again, that is something that could be talked about in those talks between schultz and zalinski. but what we do know is some german major. we're reporting that some european powers the same. perhaps it would be an idea to consider a ukraine's ambitions for nato being put on hold for the time being perhaps in the decades time in order to see if tensions of the moment could be diffused in that way out as there was a tash buffer reporting live her from care of. okay, let's go to moscow until 2 dosage bowery. docile. has there been any response from russia to those ukrainian demands for a meeting within 48 hours? no, we have not heard any specific, a response from any officials here in moscow. but we do expect the polish foreign minister to arrive in the russian capital later on monday. he is, of course,

the chairman of the osi organization than he was scheduled to come here for a visit and end it as of last week. so he, his triple really be an important one and possibly address the concerns that ukraine has raised. the polish foreign minister will meet his russian counterpart later on tuesday. but it's important to highlights that the m o, c e, which is one of its mandates, is crisis management and arms control has decided to withdraw its a civilian monitoring mission in eastern ukraine as a result of a security situation there. and the russian foreign ministry has reacted to that, saying that it's very, very dangerous because that mission was really the eyes and ears of the world about maintaining the so called sees part of that that was agreed upon under the minsk agreement in 2015. that was supposed to have a cease fire ongoing in that region. but once these va, this, o,

c emission is pulled out, or there, there really is nobody to monitor that agreement. and that's a cause for concern for the russians. the foreign ministry spokesperson also said that it's very important that this organisation is not used as a tool in the political game of what's happening right now. of course, the russian position is that all of this talk of war is really creating hysteria and russia has no intentions of invading ukraine. i think it will be significant to see what the polish foreign minister will discuss with the survey lover of later on tuesday. but for now, the russians have not responded to the ukrainian demand, to explain their military build up. of course, the russians have always said that moving their own troops within their own territory is very much a issue just for their own security. and they don't have to explain it to anybody. but of course, the ukranian officials now see it very differently as a result of the vienna document that was signed by all sides. and within the i see

out there towards the jabari reporting live from moscow. dasa many thanks and it will the mission by the german chancellor. it's the latest on a frantic few weeks of diplomacy that made little progress. it stepped up last month when the u. s. secretary of state met his russian counterpart in geneva, and he blinked and warned of a severe and united response. if russia invades last week, the french president of audio micron became the most senior western leader, the whole face to face talks with russian liter vladimir putin. they were unable to find common ground. at a later, macro was in care of with assurances for president flor them is zalinski, the putin would not escalate the crisis on thursday to go see it is from ukraine, russia, france, and germany met in berlin. but a marathon 9 hours of talks ended without a breakthrough. that on saturday, the u. s. president held a one our phone call with vladimir putin show by warned of severe costs for russia

. the white house said there was no fundamental change. ilia casa is an analyst of international relations, the ukranian institute for the future. he joins us now live from mac, give a good, have you with sir ellia. we were talking on this program at this time yesterday about whether politicians and their shuttle diplomacy and competing interests. or possibly making the situation worse. what can germany's chancellor do to ease tension where presidents were corner bitin of so far, failed? hello, thank you for having me and well, 1st of all, i would like to start from the fact that germany is one of 2 key mediators for your grand. that's why, of course, germany and france are the 2 countries that should be the most active on the year and model. what are you great in the process because they have or obligations as the mediator is where the architects all the normandy form and process as 2050. but of course, on the other side,

you have this problem that today germany is perceived by many ukrainians because of the on their eyes to russia. because of the story about norton spin to pipeline is perceived as not, you know, the most reliable partner. and i think this is one of the factors that really, that challenges german ukraine relations today. and i think this will be this little difficult for germany or during his visit to ukraine. but i really don't expect that german chancellor's mission would be successful immediately, because again, i think it will be focus solely on one issue. how to implement nice agreements of 2015 as the main basis for compromise with ukraine. and this is the main question now, which has been circulating between the capitals, you know, russia, ukraine, and u. n. u. ok, as we heard from our corresponded a few moments ago, ukraine's ambassador in london said that ukraine would show of its nato plans if

pushed to it. what do you make of that is any one other than letting me put and suggesting that ukraine should have burned, but it states or ambitions as a way to de escalate this crisis? oh, 1st of all of these statement by our ambassador in weight, britain was denied. will not deny that. you know, the minister said that he's, he's words were interpreted wrongly well. nevertheless, i mean, the question of nato you brings the sanctioning tomato is not in my opinion, the main issue here because i think everyone today knows and well, it's really pretty clear to me that you cranes a sanction into an angel ukraine's membership. and i was lost in 2008 during the eucharist sonic when germany and other european countries said that they don't, they are not ready for you. going to be member of nato because of rush, you know,

because of the bus. and i think actually changed. and then so i think when i tried to list this issue nato as kind of a red line for ukraine. i think this is just an excuse for them, because the real reason why, you know, increasing the stakes around the situation is 1st and foremost to squeeze out and sessions by the west, on it crane and on the conflict in the east of ukraine. so they really want to brain to start making concessions on the means agreements on the, on a political part. so not the security one with the political part. so it's giving away a special phase dollar is tenant occupied territories. and it started direct negotiations with a russian forces there. i think this is the real issue. what is going on? natal member is a fuse and been lucky. one final quick question president landscape, as we heard is, and vice president biden, to king of, in the coming days at would bivens presence on the ground in care of help or hinder the situation? well 1st of all,

no indicators that actually the article president is coming to t. of course, the plane in leadership law would, would want that to happen because this will be a great for them. you know, i said your political to court because a well, it's not often that the american presidents aren't here actually. i don't think he will come soon because i don't see why he should do that. and nowadays, the main people in the american administration who are trying to coordinate is brain, he sure are anthony lincoln and lloyd aust, mainly because they are the most they are the they are the persons who are most opening to you. i think that right, and we'll maybe come to, you know, in case of the situation escalates very quickly, you know, and he will buy to, you know, to, to ship this kind of stuff or to, or in case of a compromise. and he will try to 70 by his or if you could talk to me actually

really close to that and give and the number of russian forces in battle roost is the largest since the end of the cold war. they're engaged in intensive war games that nato considers a potential prelude to an invasion. i'll just hear a step boston reports now from the above cur airfield, in the border with ukraine. at the blue field rush and helicopter gunship steak through the air near by dozens of russian trucks leave the training grounds. armored personnel carriers are transported towards the border with ukraine. the south of barrows looks like a rush and military zone is abandoned in the field. and said both i near the city of homo is one of the 12 areas where russia unbearable are conducting join drills known as allowed to resolve. this is not allowed in local people. tell us if trip is in bad shape and has recently been youth for sports competition with it's released by the russian ministry, a blue france show state of the art military equipment in action near the border

here, it's hard to believe that war is imminent. for people living at home, out close to the border, it is difficult to find out what's going on because he won't happen. we were told it won't happen 1st, they said there will be worth what i wish the news and look shame because if there won't be a war, they brought tanks and trucks and we thought it was a war. but it turns out it was a test of military readiness. vladimir cuts off the lead off an opposition party. and whole mal is not that optimistic use as many people in ballot would like to demonstrate against the possible war. but are too scared to do so. they need those little stack rule. that's what i'm personally very worried. i have family. i don't want war like my spell russians. but as i see, the developments going on so far under the disguise of military exercises, it naturally makes me very worried on this main road and ukraine's capital. kia buses and trucks are still crossing the border, but fear is only 200 kilometers away. and russia show of military force nearby is

a space for them to discuss the challenges they face in everyday life. right? arm, half of our society is a conservative one. it's not easy for a woman to establish a project. for example, i stablished driving centers 7 years ago. i only managed to prove myself in the past year in germ of society and family challenges. despite gaining their trust, i was hardly able to make it. it's not easy for a woman to reach her goals because of tribal and religious restrictions. on 135 women are enrolled in her course. she hopes to do more than just empower them behind the wheel. but how will in one or in the way, until you hadn't met john whenever a woman wants to take part in this field, society always puts her down and creates an obstacle in front of her. my husband encouraged him, it'll take driving lessons, but my family or paused it because they thought i had no knowledge of the street.

they described it as something for us. this instilled fear inside me, but i overcame that field and came to learn more or less while a rocky women have been license to drive for decades. boshra is a conservative part of the country. so the school here is teaching women a broader set of skills. oh, well, and to play a little more law driving gives women a stable and strong personality and makes her feared nothing and does not make her rely on anyone in life. that is the most important thing in my opinion, that this school is hoping to make a difference by shifting the narrative. one step at a time chilling wolf alto, 0. just a head here. all that is all flying high. the singapore aschew florence, the industry's latest technology and in sport will have all reaction from the beijing olympics where russian figures case a comma valley eva has been cleared to compete.

ah ah, with with

full. ah ah, hello again, asia is biggest aschew is on the way and singapore this week with the aviation sector hoping that 2022 marks of turning point airlines took a big hit during the pandemic as in national travel, almost ground to a halt. leah harding reports a display of the world's finest aircraft, a look into what's on the market and how these machines are impacting, global travel. the seal poor air show takes place every 2 years. but this is the

1st time it's being held during the pandemic. we all know in this current environment, yes it is the attendance sheet, it surely be lower, desta sd. i think that's all of us. we expect that. but as far as a quality is concerned and not worry about that. because here we have assemble a high quality saddlebags. he beat us a lot in 70 percent of the top 20 global aerospace companies are here. key players such as boeing, airbus and engine makers. rolls royce will still be attending and the show will be a rare opportunity to hold in person meetings with customers to drum up new business. but with asia pacific battling a fierce wave of the armor con variant, the 4 day air show will still be relatively muted. a parallel to the reality of the travel sector in this part of the world. while the united states in europe have eased restrictions and demand has rebounded,

asia lags far behind. foreign tourists are barred from entering, and mandatory quarantines are still in place. in many countries, we are stopping to see green shoots in industry. like passenger travel numbers are up. a flight frequencies are up, i think we can all sense the pent up demand for travel. we also can see and sense optimism. there are positive signs for 2020 to several places such as australia, new zealand, and the philippines are lifting bands on overseas visitors. but industry figures worn. there is a long way to go. leah harding al jazeera time for sport, his andy, thank you so much. a gentle russian figure skater. camila valley eva has been cleared to take part of the winter olympics, despite failing that doping testing to run up see the beijing games the cause of arbitration for sports at stopping the 15 year old from competing could cause a her could cause her irreparable harm. ali i was only notified of positive result

after the olympics. it starts in the teenager is set to compete the gown she's day in the women's individual event, but with wider investigations on going. she could win that gold and still be stripped of the title at a later date. this decision has been rendered by 3 arbitrators, specialized in sports law, working outside any kind of pressure or influence. although they do have a specific nationality, these 3 human beings operate under one flag, the flag of the court of arbitration for sport. well, joining is now from beijing is a p. sports correspondence. stephen wade. steven. great. so it's a, have you on again, this hearing in this verdict still seems to leave a lot of unanswered questions. let me tell you what a mess we have here. we just broke a story a few minutes ago. that when camille valera, valerie ever skates, even if she wins the gold medal this week,

there will be no metal ceremony if she's involved in no metal ceremony. we've also learned there will be no metal ceremony for the metal shoe on earlier. so we have almost, i think, unprecedented messier involving this figure skater. and it's almost a tragedy in the sense that she's a 15 year old woman being put into this total chaos really have arc. i don't think i covered a lot of olympics. i don't think i've seen one worse in this one bigger mess in this. and stephen, a lot of other investigations still ongoing despite this is burdick from the court of arbitration for schools. yeah, i think the biggest question is why this took so long just back tracking a little bit. she won the russian national championship on december 25th. her drug sample, her testing sample was sent to the stockholm, where, because russia doesn't have

a lab that works as authorized. the sample was tested in stockholm for some reason . the positive result was not revealed until the 7th, or the 7th night, or the 7th of the day, the 8th. in the meantime, she's in beijing, she's already won the metal. a lot of questions being asked, who's responsible? why did take so long? we see now that perhaps the stockholm lab sweden was under some coven restrictions . perhaps the lab was operating at half strength. but there are 1000000 questions here to be answered every place you look. there's answers, we don't have. all we got to day is the fact. she's going to be allowed to skate. she's the best skater in the world without a doubt. she did a quad here. the 1st woman with ext to do a quite a few days ago. it's likely the russian when will the google 123 with her at the top. but then she may not be the final medal ceremony if she wins it. it is just absolutely sort of unfathomable what's going on here. and stephen, just just talk through what's actually going on the broader picture here, because

a lot of casual observe is check into sports at elliptic games. he want across all the, the story lines. the plot lines that go into it. russia is still technically banned from even competing at the olympics. the previous offense is so can you explain how we got to this points? yes, so in twenty's 2014 and so g, russia was found to have been cheating in a state state sponsored doping scandal. they were allowed to compete in rio de janeiro. but in let me get the dates right here in 2018 a. p on chang. they competed as olympic athletes from russia, not under the russian flag in tokyo. and here they're competing as the russian limpid committee. so technically, russia is not here. technically, russia is banned, but it's low athletes. road be allowed to our bill are being allowed to compete here. this is partially, i guess, because the i'll see just did not want to crack down on them. thomas box, the president, the i r c said over and over,

we don't want to punish the whole team. we want to punish the guilty people, but to let the innocent participants for to participate. so now we have russia here, again in the doping scandal, a team that's not even supposed to be here. it is sort of beyond imagination the and i start at the top of the same and sorenson. sorry to jump on, you stay them, but so we're just running out of time some to talk about. thank you so much. didn't wait a peaceful correspondent joining us from beijing. thank steven. will the only rams of one the nfl super bowl championship relates such down from cooper caps occurring and narrow victory over the cincinnati bengals as son hamish triples. ah, well, just the 2nd time in franchise history, los angeles ram, the have their hands on the suitable trophy, 23 to 20, when over the cincinnati bengals, securing them at the championship for the 1st time in more than 2 decades. it feels great. i'm just so happy to be a able to celebrate this is such great teammates to my family people. i'm in the

a crucial interception combined with some nerveless kicking, put them into a 7 point lead. but in keeping with the game held in the shadow of hollywood, some late drama was still to come. with barely a minute left on the clock. the decisive touchdown pass was grabbed by cooper cup who was also named the game's most valuable player. i just feel so undeserving of all these awards and accolades. i just feel like i've, i've played from a i played from place of freedom address, allow myself to be in the moment every single time that there was going to be there was gonna be guys alongside me to will make this thing come to live here on the homes are so thankful for them. the franchise only returned to la sounded a 6 years ago. the city is now in possession of the nfl biggest prize, santa hm news al jazeera. okay, that is how useful says i, looking for anything sedate, you're back with me

climate has to become part of the way we tell stories on al jazeera in iran, the head of a mental health hospital experiments with a bold new treatment. the therapeutic power of love, the prescription romance against all odds, his patience embraced the matrimonial remedy. but can wedlock lead to better well being on his board? the marriage project witness on al jazeera talk to al jazeera. we also do you believe that the threat of an invasion of ukraine is currently the biggest threat international peace and security? we listen, we are focusing so much on the humanitarian crisis that we forget the long term development we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the stool restock matter on al jazeera. a lot of the stories that we cover heidi complex,

so it's very important that we make them as understandable as we can do as many people as possible know about how much they know about a given chrisy. saw issue with the smell of death is overpowering as al jazeera correspondence. that's what we strive to do. noon german charles le head stickier than later. moscow as diplomatic efforts intensifies a theater russian invasion, if he crane ah hello. on monday, inside the sound, is there a life day or so coming up? a thing is more than the killing of the teenage if i is rightly
