russia's putin but said lukas shanker wouldn't take her calls for middle income and you know them one can only mediate if one is in contact with all sides but we will do everything we can from our side to promote a national dialogue. security council meeting the talk was of no talk. to the leaders of the western countries offer us negotiations conversations and at this time they continue to push their line we can see it we understand it but we do not accept it i want them to hear that solution. but those filling the streets across speller us day and night are desperate for dialogue one of their leaders told t w they want everyone to help. if it is possible that the e.u. states the russian federation and ukraine can help us to organize a dialogue within the country and with external partners so that the transfer of

power happens and we listen to each other i would always support it this is a decisive moment for us. we must be. decisive not only because putin has remained tight lipped but decisive because they have the support of the european union and decisive because now their fear has gone. now the e.u. has to perform a delicate balancing act with its response to the crisis in belarus w correspondent barbara sent us her assessment from brussels through more than 20 years awful watching look i shan't go what ever you want being the dictator who or presses the opposition uses violence against them who simply sort of reigns his rules his country had his will they suddenly found their political courage and said enough is enough and they're sending a very strong signal to minsk and to moscow that their change is underway and they

moscow as an attempt by the russians who were unhappy with his own willingness to draw close to moscow to unseat him so that gives you sense of just quite how disproportion look shanker is now in on the one hand you're forcing democratic standards we're demanding them and russia of the hand wanting to join up a closer. let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world leaders of the coup in mali have met with top civil servants and opposition representatives and pledged to hold elections within what they call a reasonable time the u.n. security council has demanded the release of mali's deposed president abraham. and all other detained officials the cool follows weeks of growing political tensions and anti-government protests. german foreign minister heikal mosse hosted his saudi counterpart today in berlin the to discuss the normalization of relations between israel and the united arab emirates saudi arabia said it will not follow its
