angela merkel has already been talking to their ukrainian president petr potter schenkel in a phone call that's what has been confirmed so far by her spokesperson and what we're going to see now is we're all looking at the u.n. security council and how germany who is not a member get that's going to be in member starting in january is going to stand on that and if we're going to see new sanctions coming forward to what's russia you know there's not a good track record there with the you with in mediating with any of the hostilities between ukraine and russia is a different story though when you talk about the role of germany germany's foreign minister heiko moscow he's proposed that france and germany mediate between moscow and kiev. what is the latest on that and where is that proposal that dissolve. well that has been the extra already apparent why the german chancellor angela merkel has already been talking to the ukrainian president petro poroshenko because she has been part of a format that the foreign minister has now brought forward again the so-called

moment of format which was a diplomatic dialogue between germany and france together with russia and the ukraine starting in two thousand and fourteen when the initial ukraine crisis with russia has started and hike i'm also suggested to sort of bring together with france russia and ukraine to talk again in a diplomatic form as a side of the u.n. security council. sanctions and the idea it was to always like keep a dalek going and one of the direct results of the normandy format has been for some of the means agreement which still hasn't brought any results in the crisis itself but of course it's a channel to keep dialogue and to give diplomatic efforts in this crisis going question however is if there's going to be new sanctions coming from the united nations how this will work out together with this diplomatic format you know it's a very good point to maximally for fickleness story corps here in berlin thank you . for britain's prime minister is urging lawmakers from all parties to support the

easiest of earth like planets to get to know i'm far from. tillman's spawn is convinced the data from mars will advance understanding of how all rocky planets formed and evolved including our own. and others out there orbiting alien suns and still be on the reach of human space travel. but first insight will have to parachute to a safe landing. the descent will take seven long minutes the craft has to master the landing without human help performing many small maneuvers that exactly the right time and without any mistakes until touchdown. or here on earth of the italian film director bernardo over gene has died at the age of seventy seven he had been in poor health for several years one of the most influential filmmakers of his generation. spring to fame with the notorious last
