to civilians were reportedly killed in an assault near the russian border. thousands of people continued to be evacuated from eastern regions into russia, or frantic diplomatic efforts continue to stop russia invading ukraine. fraud says, talks between ukraine, russia and the organization for security and cooperation in europe will take place on monday. the summit was agreed after the french president ammonia and michael spoke to his russian and ukrainian counterparts on sunday. the west is on high alert after bella roost announced that russia is extending its military exercises in the country. said miss robbie has more war in ukraine remains an open question. but military posturing on ukraine's borders continues to intensify. russian troops were meant to leave bella roost on sunday when military exercises with their allies ended. but their stay has been extended indefinitely. the bill of russian defense

minister cited increased military activity in the region, as well as unrest inside ukraine. but no mention of what ukrainian leaders and their western allies described as russian provocation. august would produce. the testing of reaction forces will continue. they are directed to as a prevention of floor and are presidents who have met repeatedly say, we don't want war, but we are not being heard. therefore, recreated and appropriate grouping of troops out. and if need be, we'll bring an appropriate response. with the presidents of bella, luce and russia met in moscow 2 days ago. president alexander lucas shinkel is a close russian ally. the strategic advantage of having russian troops in belarus is just one more reason. analysts say president vladimir putin has the upper head. this invasion force has been mass on the ukrainian border has already achieved some of its objectives because he's already got the conversation going with the united

states about limiting the sovereignty and liberty, the security choices of the countries neighboring russia about rolling back the glock. so natal protections are taken away from them, and russia can habits weight and s made it 190000 russian troops at a heightened state of alert are now to ukraine's north south and east their extended mission in bella, luce only the latest warning side in western liter say points to an imminent full scale russian invasion of ukraine. zane bus ravi ultra 0 and russia has been moving navy ships into the sea of as off which sits between ukraine and russia. the russian miniature is declared the area of limits saying large scale naval drills, a set to begin that in the coming hours. russian miniature analyst haven't found in house as shallow waters make it an unlikely location for battle. the see it was off is a very peculiar place, nearby m ukrainians. have a couple of ports there. are there be used for important expert in

operations? apparently right now the commercial traffic will not be allowed by the russians through the streets. old couch ah, momentarily it's not the very good place to fight the sea of us off. it's very, very, very shallow nor mamma. blue water warships can go there much. i. so would there be any kind of real, no attraction happening? they are a lot that said no, but question. charles stratford has more from variable on the mood and he's to ukraine. it feels as if there is been the beginnings of an easy, an erie calm, certainly here in mario full. and we understand further up north, along the 420 kilometer front line, we earlier got reports from people inside units that there had been the sound of explosions. and we can know in no way verify that 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 to accusing russia of violating that side of the minsk agreement, sab, and of course, the russians and the separatists are accusing the ukrainians of doing the same

thing. antibiotic editor james bays, is that a security conference in munich? i well leaders have been discussing ukraine on the surface. hear the voices of all the western leaders have shown unity. i think behind the scenes though, there are some differences of opinion on the imminence of any invasion. president biden was saying that the russians and president putin have already made up their mind that's not been reflected by the speeches of many of the other. you and nato leaders and also i think on what happens if there is an invasion, those sanctions, everyone agrees they'll be much tougher sanctions. what's actually in them? well, i think that's still not finalized. there's still a potential for some disagreement here, but the incoming coming chairman of the munich security conference has said that that has been a clear message since the russian leader. he has heard a very, very strong message, a very strong message of unity of transatlantic unity,

of the unity of the international community. that asking please stop what you're doing. respect, international law don't invade, don't invade ukraine. and he also got the message. it was very strong express trenches by the german chancellor saying we are ready to negotiate. we want to give diplomacy a chance. we will not give up that track. so this is a message and we have a meeting next week of the secretary of state tony blinking with for mr. lab roof. and we have to continue on this strike talk and see how we can get out of out of this roadblock. we are putting braun us into many diplomats i've spoke to hear say that diplomacy doesn't dander are still going to be last ditch effort and all eyes on a meeting that's going to take place in the next week between the us secretary of state and the russian foreign minister, although people i've spoken to say that's a meeting that is supposed to take place, but they all worried that

a russian invasion may take place 1st. you know, 6 year state and he blink and says, washington is working with its allies to ensure they're prepared if things escalate further. i just came back from unit with the vice president. she let our delegation there to make sure that we are in lock step with allies and partners on everything that we're going to do, both to see if we can still prevent present food from carrying forth his decision. and if not, making sure that we're fully coordinated with all his partners on the response, they've reiterated that massive consequences will follow if. if president putting kerry's 4th with the the aggression she ever turns joan's line from washington d. c. was the main message from lincoln. i think the starting point is, james suggested there was the shock announcement on friday from joe biden. as far as he was concerned, vladimir putin had made the decision to invade quote in the coming days. of course, it's sunday now. it was that was friday. and the starting point is always, well,

what's, what's happening here and blinking and the others on the defense sectors. others have been on the u. s. to trace it. so i can take note of, he's made the decision, but you know, we can always try and persuade him out of this. and the u. s. is the white houses have leaked information that they've seen an actual order from vladimir putin to troops to invade. but again, no evidence, no more details, just trust stuff we have with the intelligence, we know what we're doing. so that and beyond the blink. and despite this idea that an invasion is imminent in the coming days, was very much looking to that meeting later in the week. that's in the coming days, this meeting in the coming weeks. and he went into more detail about what he hoped to discuss in that meeting with surgery lover of his counterpart. and what was really interesting was it wasn't just about the possibility of invasion, but he also said he would want to address the security can says that you, the u. s. europe and russia have, as far as an east west degree, but it's concerning a national security architecture,

which is what the russians have been asking for all along. so there is that sense that you know, the coming days the main focus is ready of the talks, and not so much perhaps this, this idea of an imminent invasion, which biden says, perhaps off script on friday in the russian on bus. there's also been speaking on the sunday talk shows, what did we hear from him and not seem to be another interesting area as far as if you want, you know, if you look the hope for a resolution, because what he was all, some of the talk shows up and what. busy will resolve this exact word. so for the united states, it's easy to stop such a crisis, you have to persuade give, to fulfill the minced agreement. that's all. if we had charles talking about the minutes agreement, this was the, the cease fire agreement, one of the squad agreements over 2 minutes agreements, which were meant to permanent the endless war on, in the use of ukraine, which would give the use of ukraine autonomy a certain amount of autonomy not in absorbing into russia and thing, but giving it to told me within, within ukraine and the sense from russia has always been here,

has been dragging its feet on this. the us not wishing to lose of its influence in the region hasn't been pushing kiev to implement that. but that meant agreement to wish the u. s. has signed off on. so the other thing you do, you know, push, you have to do this, that seems to be what we're getting. and it's interesting that my crawl, the french prime minister, that's very much the area that he's focusing on right now. as far as a budget was concerned, it's all about don bus now told about how to, how to, how to pacify that region. and i was involved in minsk the minister agreements about seems to be where the focus is now. as far as diplomacy, it's consult. thank you very much. indeed. does she have her time z reporting that and let's bring in michael prosecute. he's a global affairs on less than a former space person for the o. s. c. special monitoring mission in ukraine. georgia live from the ukrainian city of louis. but i wanted to pick up on, on that diplomatic side of things that she was talking about the, from the home future talks. we learned about this summit that russia picture agreed to with ukraine and the

o. s. c. that used to work for what form do you think that will take and, and how useful will that be? i good to be with you. well, i think if i diploma, see if i can put it that way this way. diplomacy was on the floor. yes. it's in the meant that a, i don't think personally that these meetings won't have any impact whatsoever anymore on what russia want to do. what mr. putin has decided to do, i think the best methics right now that can come from the west is to implement some of those fighting sanctions of which they speak and of which president landscape here. and ukraine had said they need to be implemented now. so for example, in the united kingdom, there are $2500.00 or so. so called golden visas purchase for $30.00 money from russian oligarchs cancelled oath. they could go so far as for example of lifting landing rates for airflow and certain capitals of the world. because i think unless this is done more and i don't think the russians will take the threat of sanctions

that seriously. and we're already hearing where we've been hearing for weeks now. possible divisions in europe on how, how the sanction should work. so meetings are good diplomacy is good, it's good that the both sides are talking, but i don't think it's had much impact personally. and in the meantime, the news of the russian drills in the presence in batteries continuing and, and russia decoded, receiver of limits. how is that being viewed where you are in ukraine? well, chilling, to put it mildly, i think, you know, people like me and diplomats, and so on ex patriots, or find a fight following the news very closely. but, you know, in cave and here in europe is very, very comp. people are going about their business. of course, there is a level of anxiety, but they have been anxious for the past 8 years because there's been hybrid war inflicted on your credit for so long. so it's tough to, to gauge how people will respond to what's happening. but i have to say as well,

you know, mr. put in, doesn't even have to roll one tanker one soldier or the border the or ability hearing ukraine right now to neutralize. so we'll fight leaders or politicians. opponents is very, very big. we saw, for example, the murder of a bill of russian dissident a few months ago in broad daylight and cube, and in 2016 pub, l short months of famous journalist was killed in broad daylight by a car ball point that claim was pointed at russia. so just go to show you what kind of instability they can build right now. and what about the situation on the ground at the moment, especially in easton ukraine and on friday, saturday the see. so there were several violations or multiple violations of a see file. how's it been on sunday? sure. well those vile ations actually have been going on for a long time. the problem right now, or is that the, the special monitoring mission of which i used to work for has almost been compensated because western nations like the united states like the united kingdom, denmark and ireland. i've got quite nervous and withdrawn. there nationalists from

the mission that us to more than $100.00 monitors. so the missions ability to document the violations has been very much constraint. having said that, what we see happening in the street now should set off a lot of alarm bells because i think the pretext is being sent set for an invasion . they're going to do a full flag operation, whatever you want to call it and play the ukrainians for it. and we could see that form will take over the east at followed by a further push for the salt. but at the end of the day, it's only put in that knows what, what he wants to do and when he will do it. and michael, thank you. thank you very much indeed. still, just as are a current bout of fighting can be traced directly back to a popular uprising in 2014. when ukraine government was tightly controlled by russia, a violent attempt to crush that protest left more than $100.00 civilians. dead in the center of give and inquiry is still on the way to who gave the following order . under simmons was at that processed and report now on its legacy one man in more

than a 100 dead in one day, their memorials, among the bricks they used to defend themselves. one son with one aim, now, not only to avenge his father's death 8 years ago, but ready to defend his homeland from the might of russia's military. father try help, a lot of me, a bondo choke points to where snipers were posted. he's an i t engineer and a military reservist and expects to be called up very soon. like so many who died here val, autumn, his father survey didn't look like a revolutionary. he was a school teacher. survey was alive when his fellow protest has rushed him to a makeshift clinic in a hotel reception area. he'd been shot in the back and died later. i know are who are guilty in this situation and part of regime unocal rich and feel steroids. so

russian federation and of course, putting on the morning of february, the 20th 2014, a truce was broken. as police suddenly retreated, then came a barrage of bricks from the protest. us answered with gunfire. in hindsight, they called it the revolution of dignity on that day, as i witnessed it was anything but dignified. once again, the square is a battle zone. the truce had seemed tenuously outset here. now the frontline has moved everywhere. you look there are casualties. my dan euro, my down freedom square, the angel monument, words name symbols that for many years have made vladimir putin sees. he's fanatical about ukrainians, being part of russia. yet this country now has more than 30 years of independence behind it. it may be a democracy that is imperfect, but the vast majority of ukraine's people turned their back on soviet autocracy and

want to be part of europe with membership of nato for protection. but at what cost, there's conflict in the east of the country with russian back separatists and the annexation of crimea by russia. are you prepared to die for this course? yes, her irby and her, ah, all asa ukrainian people are ready for this and it's most important. protect our country, our families and, ah, for this we did originally what we, we can model 14000 lives already lost in conflict. vladimir a many others know only 2 well. the human costs so far could be dwarfed by all out war. andrew simmons al jazeera kiff, coming up on the news hour from london. the passengers found alive on a fairy sailing from greece to italy has been burning since friday, ah,

i got outs, the downstream countries, the brothers, the people of egypt and stood on the water will flow and the world must know that the dam will not affect them. all that was said about ethiopia seeking to prevent the flow of water was untrue, and we will not allow the people to starve or thirst. we seek integration between the 3 countries and a real partnership. those egypt sin sedans, say the damning of the blue. now will cause severe water shortages for them. egypt responded on sunday saying a therapy is persisting in it. violations of a declaration signed in 2015. leaders in cairo. say the dam is an exist then sure threat to the 106000000 egyptians who are almost entirely reliance on the north river for irrigation and drinking water. while sedan 1st, welcome the dam project. it later voice similar concerns about threat to national security. over the years talk sponsored by the african union, failed, and construction still went ahead. the more gotcha. we see events like the one that

happened today begin to where to emerge. the more it becomes tomorrow, a duma, that we can actually sit as friends. and as for africans and resolve these as a purely african problem, ah, therapist says the hydro power generation is essential to nomic development in africa, 2nd most populous country. both egypt and sudan are still pushing for a legally binding deal when both the filling of the giant reservoir and it's operation for a hydro out is there. if you can, journeys time you'll get i to has more from at isabella, on the impact the dam will have this is going to push it out that to be more self sufficient and provide much of the population that some darkness, some kind of electricity, egypt, or for example, has been, you know, in a position to this said development. they even released a statement saying that the children government is,

is in violation of some agreement that was made in 2015. but the children side have been saying that, you know, the 1959 a treaty, for instance, which should provide sir. egypt succeeded 66 percent of the resources and to the sudan, 22 percent of the resources did not involve ethiopia. it's happened in the hero offer colonization that your bill was in part of the, the children government has insisted that it did not involve the treaty, did not see their best interest at heart. and that's where the disagreement is. the u. s. government, late by the former president of president trump, has been trying to negotiate a bring some kind of conclusion to, to the 3 countries. but the factors they took on government has been saying that the u. s. the siding with egypt, especially after the former president said, ah,

a challenge has more from outside behind palace or a brief statement from buckingham palace certainly gives the impression that the queen is not especially ill, that she is only got miles cold like symptoms sends that she will carry on performing like duties at windsor castle over the coming week, as you would expect for a woman of her wealth and stature. she has a very good medical team, miranda and will be getting expert medical care professor. so hugh thomas is the head of the medical house olden physician to the queen. he has a team of people as well. so it is they who will be most likely looking after the queen. but you have to realize that this is a 95 year old woman. and as we all know from the last 2 years or so, the older you get, the more risk you are of serious complications from covered 9, see, and her health has not being particularly good in recent months. she was forced to

must wait for the results of a doping investigation into camilla valley ava, an inquiry which could take months and other similar kind of money at the meadows or money for the figure. skating team competition that has been suspended. therefore, our athletes are not able to bring the models back to japan, which i think is a shame. the 15 year old russian gold medal favorite was allowed to continue competing despite testing positive for a bad substance. her final performance ended and stumbles tears and a cold reception by her coaches. for many the camilla valley ever doping scandal has tarnished the image and credibility of the olympics. many athletes have criticized the organizes, the failing to catch the russian positive test before the games. and the subsequent decision to allow her to compete organizes have down play the scandal hailing the event a success, especially in controlling corbett 19 infections. thousands of foreign participants

were kept separate from the chinese public inside the bubble, around $450.00 positive tests for the virus, including athletes who were forced to withdraw from competition. many will be relieved to end their time under strict pandemic controls. from here the winter olympics had to milan cortinez in italy in 4 years time. katrina, you out a 0 aging revision games were also marked by a diplomatic boy called over china's treatment of its weaker population. but did the boy make a difference or did the event allow trying to distract from its human rights record? stroke about that new ease agreement is that director and global advocacy at the we are human rights project. she joins us live from washington, d. c. fi, skype, so it was quote, number of countries with new britain, canada, australia, united states, several other countries were part of this diplomatic boycott. how much of an impact did it have it put a spotlight on the atrocity crimes that we are suffering when the governments of

the many of the gold medal winning countries declared. we cannot dignify the ceremonies with our presence knowing that there are concentration camps within tennessee. border but in the end it go ahead, do you think? i mean, once, once the book caught just announced and then the games were to had any way. do you think that sort of took away from the, from the messaging it may be that people who watched on tv didn't see much, but any other channels, social media commentary. and certainly anyone paying attention to the sponsors. i'll play china. we're record low attachment and use of the a little bit logos by the sponsors. they had basically wasted their sponsorship because they couldn't dare to put their logo against the page in games because of the week or atrocities. it's actually put a spotlight on the we're atrocities like no other and of course, show mean china denies any mistreatment to the week. is it and they, and they also did use

a we go athlete to open the games. what will happen to that traffic? because in the past, the one of the week, roughly, she was a torch bearer in 2008, and then pick it up in jail. that's the fate of so many weaver entrepreneurs from ordinary people to teachers, doctors, presidents of universities, are serving under a suspended death symptoms. so this pay attention to an athlete who reached the height of athletic performance shows that there is no protection when a government has decided to brutally and brutally suppressed a people. and in fact have a program a course of simulation. you will be the state almost like a robot or you'll go to prison and all the coverage of that torchbearer is basically a sympathy. what will be that person's faith and what, what else do you want the international community to do about the issue? the weakness? everyone has to recognize that business as usual with

a state conducting an ongoing genocide is unacceptable. and that means corporate sponsors need to make a choice. it means that athletes now that they're released from having been warned that there they may be in trouble for speaking out about a basic humanitarian concern. those, those voices will be coming in the coming days. and we hope that everyone and listen to those athletes who are concerned about the atrocities happening in terms of the, the kind of history of it. would you say that that's as far as it will go, you know, diplomatic boy counts of an in pixel, or can you visit a situation where people don't actually send me something i know for some countries didn't send athletes, but imagine that what being more, more widespread movement well, pay attention the reef a world cup. next decision ha apparently has beijing as a better. this is a big warning. does the world of sport in the global sport of football soccer i

intend to put itself in the same bind. being constantly accused of overlooking and excusing, and in fact, lending legitimacy to a spectacle in a country carrying out a genocide against the weaker. there's a chance to do better next time. do you agree to thank you very much, and if you told us there's more on the winter and peace coming up in sport after the break, as neu finished top of the middle table with a record golden hole invasion. that's much more with gemma. ah, the former finding harmony in pursuing his passions, my passion, finding young artists and keeping cultural traditions like nurturing the musical talents of his community, had been trying to dream music for lynch, my new money outside world, and tenzing, his families lands the most horrible to printing that called me it's brought to my
