. and welcome back to his return to australia to a father relaxes what will want some of the wells, toughest cove with 19 bottles. ah, the iranian president, abraham raw, you see is on his 1st visit to a gulf states. he has just arrived in castle where he was welcomed by the amir shake to me, and i'm out. i'll tani is here to attend a regional gas conference that he hopes will boost political and trade relations. let's get straight to our correspond jamal, else. i al, who's following the story in doha, jamal, what can we expect from this meeting? well, as you mentioned, it is the 1st visit of the written presidency to concert. it's also the 1st visit

of any arena. president potter in almost 10 years over the past 7 years. what's significant here is that not only are you coming to attend the international gas summit with other world leaders taking place on tuesday, but the bilateral meetings and agreements that will be finalized and announced at the immediately around where we are today between the cutter and iran. cutter has been playing a great role regionally with regards to mediation with regards to conflict resolution. and there is a special interest here between doha and to run in trying to resurrect the iranian nuclear deal. just prior to this visit, stop diplomat and foreign minister check out the man, i'm fine. he was in iran. and as far as we understand, there has been a lot of efforts pushed by the office to try and help the process that is taking

place in vienna. with us are playing a bigger role aside from that you're talking about other issues with regards to rainy and gcc relationships, particularly visa v to her and re out saudi arabia as well as obviously other shared foreign policy issues including yemen, including afghanistan, obviously with it's for those for that run and other security issues. so it is a significant visit, not just because it's the 1st of the current in presidents for the 1st of any rating presidents in a decade. but also because there are so many files and issues where both are and iran will be seeking greater cooperation or at least understanding between the 2. okay, for now, jamal sheil here in hong thank you will talk to revive the ra nuclear dale reports late nearing a final agreement in vienna, but into her on 250 members of parliament have demanded 6 conditions be met before any deal is signed. they include a guarantee from the u. s. and european signatories. they will not pull out as

president donald trump did 4 years ago. fraud says the us in russian presidents have agreed in principle to hold a summit on the ukraine. crisis of the meeting is far from a done deal. whitehouse as joe barton, will only take part in russia doesn't invade ukraine. she had tons, reports from washington, d. c. we have reasonably, the russian forces are planning to attend to attack ukraine on friday. joe biden stump, many of the u. s. as allies like catholic oracle, stating that love him a fusion, had made up his mind to invade ukraine. in the coming days. and on sunday, the president convened a meeting of his national security council to discuss the situation ahead of that meeting. the us secretary of state reaffirmed that despite the president's announcement diplomacy was still an option until it settled until we know that the, the tanks rolling, the planes are flying and the aggression has,

has fully begun. we're going to do everything we kind of prevented, but we're prepared either way and we're prepared with a response. it will have massive consequences for russia. it actually carries the through. lincoln said he hoped, a forthcoming meeting this week with his russian counterpart would address both preventing war and addressing mutual security concerns for the us, europe and russia in dollars. the russian and ukrainian basset to the u. s. were also on the sunday talk tre. circuit. i'm totally, anton, of denied any invasion of ukraine was planned. he said moscow's priority was the implementation of the minster agreements, which was designed permanently to stop the war and ukraine east. by among other things, given the region some autonomy, the united states, easy to stop such crisis. you have to dissuade a key to who you need agreement that phone ukraine ambassador said whether russia invaded or not. the country was already at war, but still held out the possibility of a diplomatic solution. we call in,

not only on the grass, which is russia, but also in all of our friends and allies to get together and use every opportunity to still deter russia from invasion. the friend to say that the summit agreed to in principle by the us on russia won't just be about ukraine, but about security and strategic stability in europe as a whole. the white house, as it was always committed to diplomacy, as long as there was no invasion, but added as far as it was concerned, it was still seeing preparations for a russian assault very soon. but that's not specific. when the president was on friday, she had a chance the al jazeera washington let's go to dosage of ari fly for us in moscow door. so what is the latest on the diplomat matic from from moscow? well, we've just been hearing from the kremlin who have confirmed that the russian foreign minister, sergei love rob will be meeting possibly his french counterpart in the coming days

. now it's not clear whether or not that will take place on the side lines of lover of meeting with the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking on thursday. i or it would be prior a post that meeting. but i think this is really significant because this seems to be a very important week on the diplomatic front. of course, the russian president vladimir putin spoke for nearly 3 hours to his french counterpart, emmanuel macross, on a sunday evening early monday morning. moscow time where there to discuss the ongoing tensions and then following that phone conversation, of course, emanuel microns spoke to president u. s. president joe biden. it seems to be more clear now that the french president and it is really a doing all that he can to try and avert a allowed crisis at. but for the time being, the russians have said that they are still very much open to a dialogue and diplomacy. and that is clear, as we've heard, that the russian president is open to the idea of possibly meeting his american

counterpart. but i think it's also important to point out as sunday evening talk shows in russia are pretty telling about the general mood of this country. and this past and sunday evening, we saw one of the main flagship shows their main anchor, asking the russian population who needs war. and then there was a series of images of western leaders as well as some leaders and not from the west, including the turkish presidents, a resume, tired, oregon, at indicating that these are the leaders really pushing for some kind of conflict between russia and ukraine. the general mood here is that there is a small window of opportunity still open for diplomacy. and what will happen depends on how these meetings unfold later this week. okay, that's very interesting. a meanwhile, what is the situation like on the ground or in terms of the russian side of the border? well, the russian president vladimir putin hinted at this ongoing deteriorating situation

alongside the border with ukraine. and i have, we've now heard from the regional officials in ra, stop region, which borders ukraine, that now over 61000 refugees have crossed into russia as of friday when there was a at called for people to evacuate, women and children, the elderly from the don't boss, rejoining eastern ukraine as the results of the deteriorating situation between the separatist fighters as well as the ukranian army. according to those separatist leaders down to civilians have been killed as a result of mortar shells and landing in civilian neighborhoods in killing 2 people . the ukrainian army had said that at least 2 of their soldiers had also been killed. so the situation is quickly becoming much, much more. t hanson a dangerous. as a result of that, many as citizens are crossing over into russia, the russian terror to region of resolve, the officials there declared a state of emergency as of saturday. and they are trying to deal with the influx of

people coming in at many of the men and of fighting age have been told to say of course, in dumbass, in ukraine to help fight. it shouldn't be necessary. and russia has actually closed the border on their side. they are not letting people go back into ukraine. only those people are allowed to come into russia who are looking for safety, but serious as situation unfolding there. and i think it's going to be very important how things progress in the coming days in that area. when he, thanks for that daughter jibari there for us live in moscow. australia tourism operators say they're looking forward to rebuilding after the relaxation of coven 19 bota roles move indicates the government has shifted away from the fortress like approach that prevented citizens from entering and leaving the country. that clark reports from brisbin. oh,
