there and has more on a potential meeting between us secretary of state and the russian foreign minister . both sides seem to be saying that the meeting will take place in europe this week . we think probably thursday this week, we don't know the venue from previous experience of meetings between the us and russia. i think the meetings of always taking place on neutral territory. neutral territory means a country that is not a member of nato in the past. switzerland and geneva has seemed a very easy option for both. clearly there's a base of the un, they're both have missions to the un that substantial diplomatic stuff. but remember, also we've seen some, some, it's take place in the past between the u. s. and the russians in finland in helsinki, i would say those 2 cities are the main options, but i haven't, i caveat to all of this speaking private lead to western officials,

western diplomats, and some of the western leaders. they're all saying yes, blinking now roth, important meeting. if an evasion hasn't started and charles jeff has, has developments from a more pole in the eastern ukraine. it feels as if there is been the beginnings of an easy, an erie calm, certainly hair mariel pull. and we understand am further up north, along the 420 kilometer front line. we earlier got reports from people inside jeanette's that there had been the sound of explosions. and we can know in no way verify that am sunday in the last half an hour or so. and people that we've spoken to in around the airport in don at jca saying that they've heard a few explosions. they cannot confirm whether they were incoming or outgoing. of course, the, the accusations by both sides continued the ukraine an army this morning.

interestingly, in its daily cit rep is accusing the russians of moving heavy weapons closer to that front line, which they say is obviously of a violation of the minsk agreement. the minsk agreement has some very strict articles on the movement of heavy weapons article to i believe it is that says that says weapons of a 100 millimeter caliber or more should be more than 50 kilometers apart. so there are indications certainly by the ukrainians, and that said, accusing russia of violating that side of the minsk agreement said. and of course, the russians and the separatists are accusing the ukrainians of doing the same thing to the world news now, and the grand ethiopian renee on stam has begun generating electricity for the 1st time in the prime minister and other dignitaries are at the site for being over the ceremony of africa's largest hydro electric power project,

and even social media. the conversations that are happening, it goes to show you that i cited to see this happening to a country that really was dependent on the ordinate and according to the government, this is going to ensure that each job will move for money. it dependent nation to nation that's self sufficient and enough to send resources to the neighboring countries and bring needed for an exchange to the country. samuel, despite what the prime minister is saying, and seeing the prizes of this development, ethiopians downstream, neighbors view the damn as a threat. what more can you tell us about that reaction? well, even today the prime minister tweeted saying that this is going to be sure if you have received needed resources and also ensure that neighboring countries get a fair share of the resources that have been essential to countries like egypt. and the su, done. the government has been noting that that we see those time that 929 and 959,

specifically guaranteed egypt. 66 percent of the resources and fetal power for any kind of construction that would compromise its interest. but according to the prime minister, this is going to ensure that each of won't be the interest of egypt will be compromised. there has been discussions been not far away in the year of the president. trump will, who invited delegations from the city in egypt to the walk, to washington dc for the white house to discuss but in. but he also made a statement saying that he was encouraging egypt to perhaps compromise or even form this brain is it. so they feel sent over me and has insist that americans are taking side, but we come in which has been in negotiation with the 3 countries has been trying to go back and forth. but there hasn't been any kind of settlement amongst the 3

neighbor, the neighboring countries. all right, well we'll see how it plays and thank you very much for that update. samuel get a line for us and i just oh jerry's president is in kata for a 3 day visit adela. my jaded to bona has been holding towards the cutters in mia shake time and been how much al, funny to or expect to discuss their relations in the upcoming arab summit. mama val has more from right here into our home. the 2 leaders have discussed 2 main issues . one of them is, or 2 main points on the agenda. one of them is the bilateral plays between julia katara. the genie president has with him a high level delegation of several ministers, including the minister of foreign affairs, minister of energy, and also the head of san truck. that's probably africa was largest energy company, which is julian. so energy supplies, energy cooperation, has been discussed between the 2 leaders and also other issues. other points

the closing ceremony for the winter olympics begins in less than an hour organizes in china, say the event ran smoothly. but the games were held against the backdrop of a diplomatic boycotts and global protests. strict covered 9 pain controls, as well as doping scandals, all left them mark no way finished on top of the middle table with 16 golds the most ever. one at winter games, host china, germany, the us and the russian olympic community all made it into the top 10. the results could change depending on the outcome of an investigation into the found drug test of russian figures case camilla valley. for more on these games that's bringing that katrina year, who's live for us in beijing, not the perfect choreographed olympics. the host would have liked how these games be remained remembered. well,

this was a very politically charged games from the very beginning with the u. s. and several of its allies imposing diplomatic boycotts before the event even began. and then man, in his 1st week, this chinese tennis style punctual i appear in the stands of with iris. he had thomas bark now. she late last year had disappeared off to making sexual allegations against a prominent politician that he laser reappeared and denied making those allegations that's raised loves questions about her well being. and her presence at the olympics certainly exacerbated that. and of course, we had this whole challenge of coven 19, and china says it was successful on that count that it prevented cases within the bubble from snore, bowling, and in total there are about 450, noted as throughout these past 2 weeks. but many athletes struggled with the very strict heavy handed measures, a put in place to control the virus. and some were in tears and isolation and in quarantine. and of course,

many rural so heartbroken because they had to withdraw completely from their events because they tested positive the core of the 19. and finally we had in this last week, really bull of this doping scandal involving the figure skating event right. with the russian star, 15 year old camella valley ava found to be testing positive for band substance before she came to the olympics. and those are very controversial decision by organizes to allow her to continue to compete. well, she competed in her last event on thursday evening and under enormous pressure stumbled multiple times and delivered quite a hot breaking performance. and she was in tears by the end of it. and her coach and entourage received a lot of backlash from the international community because of the apparently chilling of cold reception of an athey that was very young and in very deeply and emotional distress. it certainly was an eventful games. katrina, what lessons can the, i say take away particularly around these doping allegations and the sort of

frustration of circle, clean athletes? that's right, so many athletes, unfortunately, app you can number of them will who have who thought they want gold, silver and blonds will not be going home with metal. so in that team figure skating event because of the value of this positive test team, russia who won gold, us who came in silver and japan who came in bronze. all of those athletes are left in limbo. they do not know when they will get the metals that could be months from now pending the final outcome of that investigation into value as possible doping offense. and many other athletes have said that this is really just tarnishing the image of the olympics and undermining credibility. and the entire system, people are asking, how did a positive test go unseen for so many weeks at such an elite level. and it's also raising a lot of questions about the mental health,

the well being of athletes who are so young, certainly in the figure skating world value eva has office on the 15 year old, 15 years old. and they said that was too much precious. somebody. her age to face, so now there is a big debate about raising the minimum age for that sport. 17 or 18. lots of questions that still need to be answered. thank you for bringing us up today. katrina, you live for us in begging to canada. now where police say they've made progress in clearing and protest is opposing pandemic restrictions from straits mc. capitol ottawa demonstrated started to leave up to offices, moved in on those camping outside parliament. they've occupied the area for the past 3 weeks. at least 170 people have been arrested and trucks used to block straits. having towed away there was no noticed, no nothing. they just came in with full force. there were snipers on the roofs and all of our apartment buildings. this is absolutely disgusting. what is going on? i cannot believe that i am seeing this on canadian soil. the officers on the ground

have shown patients and professionalism. they are well trained and experienced and they needed all of that expertise to bring about the results that we were seeing at every step. they faced a barrage of resistance shoving and vitriol. we are, we all saw that this is the protesters were aggressive with the officers and we needed to use horses at one point. as a result, we responded this morning by adding helmets and baton to our equipment for the safety of our officers. a clean up at a rep cell facility, peru is continuing a month after a major oil spill. the spanish oil giant says the operation could cost more than $65000000.00. it hope stickly, this village by the end of march. but is mariana sanchez, reports from lima, local fishermen say the damage will last much longer. ah, these fishermen should be on the shore, casting their lines for their daily catch. but last month's oil spill disaster has

left more than 2000. there is no fisherman without their likelihood, but i think i'm enough of album, let them in our life and has been cut and we don't know what to do. they've turned to camille kitchens for survival. oil giant reps so gave them a $130.00 in vouchers. that wealth of the, like lou says it's not enough now that he feed, it seems this month i will not be able to pay my bank debt. the electricity, water, everything in the house. we ask rap sold to help us get more than 12000 barrels of crude spilled, impacting flora, and fauna along 80 kilometers of the coast of lima. experts say it's the worst ecological disaster and they do with amazon and gone this year. and we are in a position to confirm that theoretically we have collected almost 98 percent of the oil, both from the sea and from land rep. ssl has filed a lawsuit, blaming the oil tanker. the company says these pipes that tore off the main underwater pipeline, we're in optimal condition. and extraordinary force,

meaning the ship moved, ripped them, causing the fuel leakage. la, an expert in maritime accidents says the spill should have been minimal if valves that immediately blocked the fuel passage when an accident like this happens, had been in place. but they were not that i'm, you know, oh yeah, if the terminal had those valves that separate feel that dupes may be elite edward of spill during the closing procedure to me, that's the real cause. because breakage on these types of dominant is a common incident. peruse environmental assessment and control agency could find reps with $80000000.00 reps also they will still be done with the clean up. but many fishermen see the damage done will last for years and they don't know how they will be making a living from now on shellfish. divers recorded underwood showing, despite what reptile says, the water is polluted, laughing, the fuel give the damage to the natural bank will be irreparable for a long time to clean. it is one thing,

but to decontaminate is another story. for now, these fishermen can only watch and wait and wonder what will be the long term effects of the worst ecological disaster on this coast madana center. so the cedar lima beetle voters in punjab. in northern india, the light is to go to the poles in state assembly elections. it's seen as a test for prime minister and render modi's party. the b j pain family make up the states biggest voting block. they were heavily involved in successfully protesting against agricultural reforms. last year. elizabeth parent has moved from the city of patio where to polling station in the city of piano, where people have been coming to cost a ballot all day. there are more than 21000000 eligible voters in punjab said is known as india is red basket. and so farming is always a big issue here. but people have been telling us about other serious issues with
