aimed at deescalate the situation of the russian border. were thousands of troops or amassed. this time, the german chancellor was in care of with a message that any russian action would be economically costly. and in moscow, there were signs that diplomatic channels were still open and talked about. le has more from key if we have to be right off the days of calling for call me ukraine and downplayed us warnings of an imminent invasion. a change of tone from president for law to make the lensky in an address to the nation will you know of thought, samson bless us. we are being threatened by a big law and a day of military invasion has been scheduled once again. it is not for the 1st time, a war is being conducted systematically against us on all fronts. on the military front, the military contingent was increased around our borders. allison on the diplomatic front. they're trying to deprive us of the right to decide foreign policy on our own. it came after a visit by the german chancellor ukraine,

the latest western holder on a diplomatic mission to different tensions with russia and to 30 war europe. after more than 2 hours of talks with zalinski, schultz promised keith more german financial aid and issued a warning to moscow. is my hand kiss, the i'mma ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity on the non negotiable for germany. finally, we therefore expect russia to take their steps to de escalate the current sanctions as one was run for germany, it is clear that further military aggression against ukraine would have serious political, economic, geostrategic consequences. russia shaggy was yawning. zalinski said ukraine must join nato because the country security was inseparable from europe's my would not only us so, as for our future alliances are ambitions, you know very well that this is our wish. but apart from that, there is a war in the east. we believe that nato membership will ensure our security

zelinski was forced to clarify your cranes position on nato after cummins. earlier in the day, made by ukraine's ambassador to london, the suggested that ukraine could be flexible when it comes to his ambitions to join the military alliance commentary ambassador later retracted. we are not a member of nato right now and to reward war, we are ready for many concessions. and that's what we're doing in our conversations with rations. but it has nothing to do with nato, which, which us in trying think a solution not to do it is moscow doesn't want ukraine in nato and says that the west has ignored it. security demands, but in a possible sign of hope. russia's foreign minister has advised president vladimir putin to continue with the dialogue. a move that will be welcomed by shawl, so will meet the kremlin leader on tuesday in what some say could be and last chance. the diplomacy natasha butler al jazeera keith yearns after general antonio

tara shes held talks with the ukrainian and russian foreign ministers. he says the time is now to deescalate tensions you left. no stone unturned in the search for a peaceful solution. abandoning diplomacy for confrontation is not the step over the line. it is a vive, over a cliff. in short, my appeal is these. do not fail the cause of peace. thank you. our diplomatic editor, james bay, sir george's line from the united nations. and it has more about these conversations that he's been having to. we have any ideas of what they were discussing yet 2 separate phone calls he had with the russian foreign minister am with ukrainian foreign minister. and we've really not been given a lot of details. interesting from the russian version of what was said, the russian from ministries version of the conversation with the secretary general, russia making the point that it would like the un,

perhaps more involved in the situation in the u. n. has been pretty much on the sidelines. and the reason for that, ah, and it's the fact that russia is a permanent member of the un security council. and it's one of the key parties to this dispute. and under the, the, the un charter which determines everything you and does a rusher as a poet member, the skewed castle as a veto on any security council action. and i think that's why the secretary general has been very reluctant to get involved in this dispute until now. but he has come out now after his meeting with the 2 foreign ministers invoking the un charter. making clear that it says that all members need to settle air international disputes by peaceful means and saying that there is room for more diplomacy. the secretary general, clearly worried about the situation, but it's also worth telling you that is spokesperson, earlier on in a briefing,

told me that the secretary general still had not changed his view. and it's a view that he gave in a press conference a few weeks ago. when i asked him a question about whether he thought that the war in ukraine, and he said in the end, he didn't think that would be war in ukraine because there was so much for everyone to lose. and i was told by the spokesperson that that is still the secretary general's view, that there won't be war. i also went earlier on to a stand outside the russian mission to the united nations because that's where the 2nd general had lunch with the security council rush. it just happens this month to be the president of the security council. now, none of the ambassadors were saying very much after that lunch about what was discussed in private, but i can tell you that diplomats and official i've been speaking to say, although they're still worried about the situation. they see pat, potentially, that things are moving in the right direction. and one key player told me that that might be because of the way the u. s. has handle this,

they say the u. s. by being very public and giving out what it normally perhaps might have kept to itself is intelligence information real time intelligence about the rush and build up as perhaps boxed in president putin. jamie's face, thank you very much indeed. you know who states will temporarily relocated? embassy from care to the western ukrainian city. vive! blaming. dramatic acceleration in the build up of russian forces at the countries border. how did your caster join? does live from washington d. c. and we had an update from the white house and lawson. why would what have you heard by much of what we were just hearing from our colleague, the white house is saying that the u. s. continues to be actively engaged in reaching a diplomatic solution to this crisis. but on the other hand, the white house also says that we are now in the moment in the window where a russian invasion of ukraine could happen quote, at any time. this is the same language we've heard for the last couple of days out of washington. but today we saw further action taken by the us state department in

temporary closing the u. s. embassy and key of citing the continued escalation of russian forces along the border with ukraine and the quote seriously threatening military posture of the russians. the core group of essential diplomats still remain in ukraine. most other employees have left have an order to leave. the country returned to the u. s, but those essential workers are now moving to the western city of levine, further from what could become the russian front. and they will continue according to the state department to engage with the ukrainian government diplomatically now also commenting on the. c recent statements from the russian foreign minister saying that the a diplomatic solution has, has been far from exhausted or the path that the search for a diplomatic solution has been far from exhausted. we also heard from the u. s. department spokes person that,

that those are words that the us find positive. however, the us expects for their to be visible signs of de escalation from russia as a follow up. and so far that has not come to fruition and i do the meantime. there's also been a, a cool between president barton and u. k. from mr. johnson. tell us about that. that's right. this is among the flory of diplomatic activity that continues to unfold. and according to a white house read out of the conversation, the 2 men reaffirm their support for ukraine sovereignty and the territorial integrity. and they discussed reinforcing nato's defensive posture in eastern europe. how does your culture? thank you very much. indeed. america xena is the how much mit fellow at the german marshall fundy joins us live from berlin. thanks very much for being with us. so ticket to go back to some of the diplomatic moves today. we had the german shots in kid. what do you think he achieved during that visit?

well, he made clear. there's a lot of color there between germany and ukraine. and i think there was some doubt that where the germany really is standing by ukraine in this existential crisis. nothing. he's part of the right words to to clarify that. why do you think he was offering money at this stage? well, because germany is not sending, sending weapons or we have this debate long ago. and i think one of the parties in the german parliaments are really willing to us to send the weapons to ukraine. and what else can you do? you can consent money. you can show your solitary confinement clear messages to moscow. and i think that's what he did today. what about the, the kind of the broader sort of states at the moment? i mean, we've had, we had zalinski at the news conference saying that ukraine still wants to be on the path towards nature membership and, and for him to kind of correct a position that have been put up in london by the, by the ukrainian ambassador. suggesting somehow that, that perhaps that,

that stepping away from nature membership might be something they could consider doing, which helps you then since, as pull back from, do you think that there's an element of the stage of people flying kites and see what happens? what the reaction is and then deciding the next move on, that's what's going on. absolutely, i mean the crating, the better to london, the back pedal afterwards, but he said it. and what sort of thing to do was also interesting. it was a really interesting piece of news because he was pointing to the fact that ukraine is very unlikely to become a native member anytime soon. and so, and this is actually what the, what the russians want, they want to have some sort of guarantee that ukraine will not become a member of nato, of cause nature on the west can give that, but they can make clear that this is really not on the table right now, and there is no, no need really to, to talk about this and to, to worry about this is just the thing that can't give that assurance publicly. but so perhaps valentine doors, i can say listen, it's going to go native and she's in the very long grass. and do you think,

should you think that on, on that basis we might actually have a wave that there is some kind of different solution in the cards? yeah, this is the only thing i can, i can think of actually the, that he's making when he's coming to, to moscow tomorrow. la shows that he's indicating that this is something a but basically not happening the nature membership of ukraine. on the other hand, i mean, the russians know that all along, i mean we, if you, if you look into the native treaty and into all the provisions around the native treaty, i mean, it's pretty clear that countries who have territorial disputes are very unlikely to say the least to become a leader member. so the situation is not a new one. ukraine pen can become and they remember as long as they have territorial disputes with russia. and what do you make of the mood music coming from russia today? the suggestion that there is still a diplomatic path. well that's,

that could be lost. it could be just just the playing poker here from the 2nd level off. i would truly count that much on that. it's i think i simply believe on if you plan an attack, you probably say those kinds of things. and what do you think that the you in tech journalist is when he said that he on balance feels that there isn't going to be an award winning that some optimistic that is it? well, i mean, it depends from both the stuff perspective you're looking at this. is there a reason for optimism? if you look at the latest news with regard to or duplication of weaponry of military there's, there's not much hope to be honest. on the other hand, i can't really imagine that it's all going to be ingrained all of shows is going to be in moscow tomorrow. so maybe an obvious leave and he bring something to the table that kind of can become again chandra, but that's that's, that's really help. nothing more moccasin. thank you very much for taking time to

georgia. thank you. away from diplomacy, communities living on the front line and ukraine are growing increasingly concerned their lives are divided. charles truck that has more from bruce if in eastern ukraine a couple of 100 meters down that hill is russia. now this area has remained quiet over the last 8 years of this conflict. there's been no shilling. there's been no fighting. there's been no destruction of people's homes and businesses. but that does not mean that the lives of people in this village has not been deeply affected by the conflict. they used to be able to go and visit friends and family in russia freely. they used to be able to go to the cemetery, which is in russia. they used to be able to trade and go shopping was 3 years ago. the whole changed in 20000000 teen roles of barbed wire were laid along the border . it took almost 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union and a war before

weekend. the blockade at our border in windsor has now come to an end unless casual to enough earnest, an entire statement to her from the cleaning. prime minister, just internet a, ontario invoke to state of emergency to respond to the blockades. this was the responsible and necessary thing to do to day to continue building on these efforts. the federal government is ready to use more tools at its disposal to get the situation fully under control. after discussing with cabinet and caucus, after consultation with premiers from all provinces and territories. after speaking with opposition leaders, the federal government has invoked the emergencies act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations. i

want to be very clear. the scope of these measures will be time limited, geographically targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address. the emergencies act will be used to strengthen and support law enforcement agencies at all levels across the country. this is about keeping canadians safe, protecting people's jobs, and restoring confidence in our institutions. here's how the measures we're taking to day will help get the situation under control. the police will be given more tools to restore order and places where public assemblies can constitute illegal and dangerous activities, such as blockades and occupations. as seen in ottawa,

the ambassador bridge, and elsewhere. these tools include strengthening their ability to impose fines or imprisonment. the government will designate, secure and protect places and infrastructure that are critical to our economy and peoples jobs, including border crossings and airports. we cannot and will not allow illegal and dangerous activities to continue. the emergencies act will also allow the government to make sure essential services are rendered, for example, in order to toe vehicles, blocking roads. in addition, financial institutions will be authorized or directed to render essential services to help address the situation, including by regulating and prohibiting the use of property to fund or support illegal blockades. the canadian prime minister just some today that confirming that

both to the people inside me, emma, who are desperately still trying to end this millage agenda. and to bring back the democracy and human rights that they thought so long for. but it also sends a very clear message into the military itself that their days are numbered and the kind of foreign direct investment and the supply chains that were built up. jordan, that severe, those years of civilian rule and administration, that that is now leaving them and they will be left with an economy that is, that is unsustainable. it's very interesting that kitten has now pulled out. of course, there was a mass boycott of the brewery of the beers because people knew that those, that the joint ventures of killing were with military linked companies. and so there was a, it was a 50 percent drop in the consumption of beer through that boycott. and kidding is leaving partly a hope because they believe that in the essential nature of democracy. but it's

clearly also because the actions of the me and my people to boycott those barrett has made him much less profitable. i mean, obviously it's and the message it, but is there also an impact on people's jobs? i mean, how, how sustainable is it for, for the people actually, we used to work for these companies. yeah, i mean, this does an enormous amount of suffering in myanmar crime, precisely because of the military to and its consequences. what is happening at the moment is that the work is of me and mother people's organizations of me in march. the old burger ration of trade unions, they're all asking for companies to disengage from the military in particular, but also from key areas of the, of the economy. and so they are asking the international companies, they've invested their like total and chevron, the big oil companies, as well as those like killing that have been in joint ventures with military linked organizations to pull out fast. and they're all so asking for the people for the

come, for the big international fashion brands to stop sourcing from the, from the country itself, despite the enormous difficulties that, that will create. but at the moment, for instance, fashion brands who put the clothes in the foot, where in our corporate, in our wardrobe's, they have no means of really detecting whether there is abuse in the factories that they are sourcing from. and after all, it's the women workers of those a panel factories who lead many of the great demonstrations against the military to and with all these companies pulling out and i, i was the other situations to do the sanctions and so on. what, what is the state in our, the, me, and our economy? well, the me, american is suffering enormously because of the military to because of the, this extraordinary disturbance that there's been and because of this increasing this investment, the reality is the business as usual for investors. and for the big fashion brands

is no longer possible that used to be able to ensure that that was independent monitoring of the factors, for instance, that they were sourcing from. and they were able to therefore, do something when systematic abuse of workers was found unpaid wages, obscene, inhumane, overtime hours demanded. that's just no longer feasible in terms of that essential, independent monitoring of the risks that they are facing. and yet those workers are still some of the cheapest labor in the world. so all that is leading to increased uncertainty and where there's uncertainty. and economies of course, is also then increasing dis investment. and that's what we're seeing. but what is fundamentally important now is that as companies leave, they must leave responsibly. they machine ensure that the workers receive the wages and the severance pay that they merit through the contracts that have been issued.

and the companies as they leave, do not sell their investments on to unscrupulous companies that will continue to abuse. tell, you know, for instance, we've been praising for years because it went in very carefully. it is pulled out. it would seem irresponsibly at the moment because it's selling to a company that has links to another company with the military. and that means that essentially there will be mass surveillance. tell me and i thank you very much in dolton, your thoughts. thank you. thank you. has been a harsh winter in afghanistan and just months out of the taliban takeover, many people are desperately seeking sanctuary. any 700000 more people are now internally displaced. since the taliban took power, making a total of $3400000.00. 140000 people have fled the country for neighboring states . with 2200000 afghans now spread across the region. most of the increase is in pakistan with iran. was becky's done on tajikistan,

a part of the country where affordable housing is hard to come by. and a matter of 6 months, the united states re settled all but $7000.00 afghans, evacuated as part of operation allies. welcome in the communities across the country. but those 7000 remain on 2 military bases, one in wisconsin, and one here in new jersey. but some families, tired of waiting for a placement, had begun leaving on their own. according to the hebrew immigrant age society, highest is one of the 9 re settlement agencies tasked with overseeing community placements capacity. why fi were not ready? i'm wondering why they were not ready that we will be able to support and ask them arrivals along the other. that's a concern for refugees. most of whom have at this point, only been given temporary visas. we are here right now. we don't know what is our future. they are thankful to those who have helped them land here. but relief has
