ukrainian and russia negotiators of arrived in istanbul ahead of a new round of peace talks of the 1st time in 2 weeks. ukrainian teams, as it's focused on securing a ceasefire. and earlier present resumes lensky indicated that his country's neutrality could be on the table if it meant an immediate end to the war. for now, moscow's rolled out face to face talks between the ukrainian and russian leaders. meanwhile, inside ukraine, russia's advance appears to have ground to a halt on several fronts. out there is rob mcbride begins our coverage. now russia is continuing its attacks on defense facilities across ukraine, including fuel depos, with this site in the western city of luke getting hit over night. with torps, expected to start between the 2 warring sides ukraine's president vladimir lensky

has struck a conciliatory tone. he seems to accept russia's military presence in some parts of ukraine in some form as part of any deal. yup. when you must, would he, paula should get it today. i understand it's impossible. like russia give up. yep. completely. that will lead to world war 3. i understand completely, i'm aware you're, he's also confirmed, he is willing to consider ukrainian neutrality in the future. provided president putin pulls back his forces on ukraine's western border with poland as relative order. after the chaotic exit this of refugees in recent weeks, in the early days of the conflict with tens of thousands of people leaving ukraine every day. this was one of the busiest crossings with people lining up for a whole day just to get across into poland. the numbers of people leaving has declined significantly, and there's also now been an increase in people coming the other way. the rear is

coming back from the czech republic after leaving her home town in easton ukraine. that's now occupied by the russians. yeah, i would love to have both those me show you. i decided to come back because my husband and it's very hard to be away. i was that much emotion on the project. you both left the eastern city of denise pro daily 2 weeks ago, but he's now returning also in the morning. but such mind me what specifically if i'm coming back to check on my mother and see what the situation is like. my daughter is 14 and i've left it with my older daughter in poland. any peace talks are likely to include the future of the bitterly contested coastal strip from russian controlled crimea, to the breakaway eastern regions in the dumbass presidency. lensky has revealed. he is in regular contact with troops in the besieged city of mary paul and seems to

accept they face overwhelming odds. yes. rich, just a lot of we. i tell them if you feel you need to live in village the right thing to do it. but he also says so far, his soldiers have refused to given robin bride al jazeera leave. or in other developments, the mayor of a town near care of that scene. heavy fighting says that ukraine has retaken it. airplane sits on the west and outskirts of care of it. seen heavy shelling and fighting as russian troops pushed towards the capital. around 60000 people lived in the air, a pin before the invasion, with many fleeing after russia started shelling the town may says, situation remains dangerous with reports of fighting on a particular strategic road in the area. and in the latest round of negotiations are expected to begin tomorrow in turkey. the ghost is from care of arrived and is down bull a short time ago, while the russian counterparts landed earlier in the day ukraine foreign minister,

demitra columbus. as his most ambitious goal this week is to agree a cease fire. the credit says it's important. the talks beheld face to face despite slow progress in negotiation so far. but it talk to the president as you've type owed want, who is hosting the talk says there are some positive signs each hello, a dish is fully russian and ukrainian delicate. so leading talks on say sly and peace talks. we'll meet again tomorrow and then we will get together with delegates and make them briefly ahead of the meeting. i can say that the telephone traffic we are carrying out with mr. poot and mr. zelinski as advancing on a positive direction or moscow has dismiss president lance, his call for a one on one meeting with latina putin as part of that process or should form and disagree lover says the suggestion is premier chair. once there's also you come, then you have guzzles. president putin has not refused a meeting with presidency lensky who just wants the meeting to be concrete.

ukrainian crisis is grooving for so long that it's counter productive. we're just meet an exchange premium squeezes they offered to have negotiations, which are continuing to resume and stumble. and we are interested in the results where you as president joe biden has submitted a more than $5000000.00 budget plan to congress, calling for rack or piece time military spending. and the aid for ukraine biden was also questioned about his comment in war. saw that rushes let him put him, cannot remain in power. he says, it reflected his own moral outrage rather than a policy shift by his administration. are you worried that other leaders in the world are going to start to doubt that america is back? if some of the big things that you say on the world stage keep getting walked back the much getting walked back. it may sound like just in the last couple days it sounded like you told us truth. they were going to ukraine. it sounded like you

said it was possible, the us would use a chemical weapon and it sounded like you were calling for regime change in russia and we know none of the 3 occurred. none of the 3, none of the 3. you interpret the language that way. i was talking to the troops were talking about helping train the troops in that are the ukranian troops that are in poland. that's where the context i sat there were those guys for a couple of hours. that's what we talked about. so when you said you're going to be, when you're there, you were not intending, referring to, with be with in talking with the ukrainian troops or in poland. and when you said a chemical weapon used by russia would trigger a response in time, it will trigger a significant response. what does that mean? i'm not going to tell you why don't i tell you, you gotta be silly. the world wants to know who wants to know law things. i'm not telling them what the response would be then. then russia knows the response. i'm

going to take 2 more questions, one to miss it. i still want to get back to your original words that he cannot remain in power. can you help us understand? you have more foreign policy experience than any president who's ever held this office. whether those are your personal feelings or your feelings as president, you understand why people would believe you, as someone commanding one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world, saying someone cannot remain in power, is a statement of us policy. and also, are you concerned about propaganda? use of those remarks by the russians. no one, no. tell me what you have so much experience. you are the leader of this country, as is ridiculous. nobody believes we're going to take down. i was gonna, i was talking about taking down put. nobody believes that. number one, number 2, what have i been talking about? off says this all began the only war. there were some one attended as one that's on

attendance. the last thing i want to you as engage in a land war, a nuclear war with russia as not part of it. i was expressing my outrageous behavior, this man. it's outrageous, it's outrageous. and it's more an aspiration. i mean, he shouldn't be in power. there's no, i mean the people like this shouldn't be rural and countries, but they do a fact they do. but i mean, i can't express my outrage about it. so tim fry is a law, shall shellman professor and political science at columbia university is also the author of weak strong man, the limits of power and pigeons rush. he joins us now from new york. so the comments, recent remarks that we heard from you as president joe biden risk undermining diplomatic efforts to end the conflict in ukraine. yes, i think that the words he expressed were unfortunate,

particularly given that they were ad libbed at the end of a speech. i think that they are counterproductive in that they will be used in moscow to demonstrate in their view that the goal of the operation in ukraine as far as the west is concerned, is to bring the mirror down. and i don't think that is actually what us policy is. i think that secretary of state blink ins correction of what president, by it said, was much closer to the truth that this was not the policy of the united states. and it was more a personal expression made by president by then. but it is, it was sad, it was unfortunate. and i don't think it helps us policy goals and does it. we can ukraine's position at the negotiating table. now, it does somewhat,

but i think what's really important though is let's what president vine said the facts on the ground. i think it's difficult to reach, sees fires as long as the battle field situation is as fluid and dynamic. as we see in ukraine, it's difficult perceived fires to stick when one side thinks that has an advantage over the other side, because they expect that they will be able to get a better deal a month or 6 weeks from now. so that's why sci fi are so often break down. i don't think that it's really undermines ukraine physician and what's really going to determine whether or not a fire takes place is the facts on the ground in ukraine. and it has forces come to a stalemate. that i think we're likely to see if the fire so negotiations have previous, previously been dismissed as a diversionary tactic. if russia does want to pull its forces back to concentrate on the east of ukraine, could this be the start of a more meaningful process?

now i think it's important for the negotiations to continue. it's important for both sides in ukraine and in russia to test their intentions and how willing they would be to agree to some kind of compromises. i think at the moment both sides, both mascara and key, if are really not in mood to negotiate a deal that would be acceptable to either side. obviously, the moral onus is on russia to make compromises. but the kremlin is still in a strong enough position on the ground to impose a deal on that they would just not accept. i mean, if president zalinski were to accept some of the russian demands that have been made, the government would immediately collapse. so unfortunately, i don't think we're likely to see a meaningful fire take place in the, in the next few days. and the criminal rolled out face to face talks between the

quite in russian presidents. but is that a tacit acceptance in recent days and weeks that the possibility of their being a government led by president lodging me as lensky, they moving away from absolute regime change. we knew last talk of the d, not if occasion, which is a really a horrible way to refer to what the problem initially had planned to do in ukraine by taking down the zalinski gum. we hear less talk of that and even prime, a secretary of state law. bravo comments, you know, recognize the possibility of a meeting with president lensky in that secretary of state love. rob said that, you know, the grammar would never not agree to a meeting that they're just want to postpone it. because of, but it's premature in their view. that's a kind way to put it off and postpone it. but it did include the hints of

a recognition of zalinski as a legitimate leader of ukraine. thank you for talking a survey and the nuances of all of that. then another round of talks get underway on this the tim fry. appreciate you joining us on these. our thank you look so the talk succeed elsewhere. the mayor, mario paul says, a, a complete evacuation is needed as the cities on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. about 160000 civilians remain trapped in a besieged port city. ukrainian, deputy prime minister says no new humanitarian corridors are open because of reports of possible provocations along the routes. russia has denied targeting civilians and the new and factory general is, again calling for an immediate cease fi and ukraine antennae. the terrace is saying that it will help both russia and ukraine. find a political solution. the solution to this humanitarian threats are the, is not you met italian? it is political. i'm therefore appealing for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to

allow for progress seems serious political negotiations. a mean got reaching a disagreement based on the principles of united nations charter. a cessation of hostilities will allow essentially money that you need to be delivered at the label civilians to move on safely or the war. and ukraine is just a little over a month old. and as well as the human toll its inflicting. there is also a devastating economic effect. the total cost so far has exceeded half a trillion dollars. conway minister eulu sir dan co confirmed that on monday that takes in the damage to infrastructure of almost $120000000000.00 and an economic downturn of the damaged infrastructure. about 8000 kilometers of roads have been either damaged or destroyed. so to danco said that every day the numbers were changing and growing. there was also about 10000000 square meters of housing that

had been damaged or destroyed. minister said that ukraine would seek compensation from russia through the courts. and by transferring, frozen russian assets will work as it ukraine's at chernobyl nuclear plant. to say no, russian soldiers disturbed high, he talks radioactive dust. when they took control of the sight, russian forces drove armoured vehicles without radiation protection through a highly toxic so called the red forest. one worker called it suicidal for the soldiers because the dust they were inhaling was likely to cause internal radiation damage. you're watching the news, our life from london much more still to bring you on the program. a shocking symptoms experienced by roman abramoff, rich and ukrainian officials, possibly poisoned, jeering talks. also, he looked at the land, not meeting in the desert. israel shakes hands with 4 arab states to send a message to iran. and then later in sports, this oldtime grey of european football is aiming for one last shot at

a long standing diplomatic relationships with israel can support the palestinian authority in the palestinian people in concrete ways that was echoed by the arab foreign ministers most explicitly by egypt, the united are during these discussions. so we did highlight the importance of the israeli palestinian peace process. the importance of maintaining the credibility and the viability of the 2 state solution that are for israel and up to the city and state to live side by side in peace with the recognized boarders for the city and state are in accordance with the 67 lines with the east jerusalem as its capital, the palestinian leadership. however, such words are just that words. they see this entire summit in this place as an undermining of their cause for sovereignty and independence. the palestinian prime minister focused on what was happening inside israel. religion, why he attack won't be valid that they shall come by a shop arab normalization meetings without ending the israeli occupation of

he apologized to the academy and his fellow nominees. but the moment left some of those in the room stunned. it was shocking. honestly i, we all wearing the theatre were like, is this you really the thieves this, it's not there was like, ah, what was lap triggered as with response on social media? is it expect this was the a, this is a taste to some of what we saw on twitter smith on jayden simply writing and that's how we do it. comedian kathy griffin said, it was very bad practice to physically assault a comedian. now we only to worry about the next will smith? well, star tracks georgia tech. i wrote that act as had an obligation to be good role models with celebrity comes responsibility. stephen gatos is the executive editor of variety magazine. he joins us now from beverly hills and it doesn't matter how many times you see that footage, it doesn't get old. is it? what was your reaction when you, when you saw this last night?

i called my daughter in oscar party and told her that my spirit had left my body. i was no, i've been doing this a long time and been at variety worse. we live. re the oscars day and night for months, the awards season and you know, it's unprecedented. it's never been seen, nothing like this ever happened. so we entered a completely unknown territories like losing gravity. and of course, this should have been the biggest night of his career. how is this ceremony going to be going to be remembered? it's never going to be forgotten. i think it is being debated. i've had a lot of conversations with people that i respect and i think very seriously, i've been on social media. i think the general reaction in the day after is

disappointment and, and believe that this was a seriously transgressive bad thing to do. and it should have been perhaps taken more seriously. it's a little hard in the day after, in the days after, for the academy to say we're going to investigate, we're going to do something. there was a moment to do it. variety has a very good story today about some of the reasons why nothing was done. tell us more about that. so you think the, the academies review of what took place is, is too little too late. what could have been done differently than? well, i do think it is a clear example of 2 rules of life for one, for the powerful and famous and rich and those for everybody else. everybody else does anything like that. and there are security people on you can you to the ground

and hauling you off to the beverly hills jail. so there's some sense of strangeness about that, but it wasn't dealt with seriously. ok, but there, but for origin go you and i the be events happen so fast. you know it's only 15 minutes between this event and will be back up on stage getting and oscar. so while they're processing and trying to figure out the proper response, and probably justifiably terrified that if they overreach it, they overreact. it's going to make a bad situation worse. the truth is, the 1st line of our variety story is that the people on the telecast were you shocked and they were trying to grapple with it. and then suddenly it was time for will smith to be on stage getting is oscar. you know, we say it took everyone off god and many people saying that they thought that it

might have been staged. and then when he started shouting expletives, it became clear that he did it very deliberately. how you've always seen. you've seen the footage. i think we've all seen a number of times how do you explain that kind of loss of control so publicly and show that is being broadcast millions of households around the world? well, you know, if it's people that you know, not will smith if it's anyone else, there are lots of people in hollywood with a history of wild and crazy behavior. druggy behavior, alcohol fuel behavior. i can mention some of the names. i won't bother, but will smith. i have met him. i've spent time with them, and we've done things together. we variety gave him an acting award a few years ago for the movie concussion. so it's so out of character for this guy

the nature of them, and their chance they're, they're really a big colorful couple. so, you know, i hope he's not going through a terrible thing in his life and coming unglued in some other way. but it is, i'm characteristic and it wasn't fun to see that it wasn't by the way, it was wrong for him to do it. he gave us appreciate it. thanks. joining us that from beverly hills. thank you very much. handy has all the sport now. thank you so much. my mil canada have ended an a 4 decade white's qualify for the men's football. well, can they be to make a phone ill, qualify for their 1st final since 1986 lawrence smith reports ah canadians that waited 36 years to see their men's football team reach the world cup finals and expectations for high in toronto. the players had failed to put their ticket to cattle with defeat in costa rica on friday, but any nerves about another slip up were combed early on when kyle lauren slotted
