high stakes talks between russia and the united states ended with no breakthrough. the talks focused on di escalating tensions over ukraine with western countries cooling on russia to send its troops back to their barracks. moscow, on the other hand, wants a promise that the nato military alliance will stop its eastwood expansion and roll back deployments in eastern europe. discussions between russia and the u. s. began in geneva without a handshake or other formalities, irreconcilable positions, divide the 2 countries. russia wants bullet proof guarantees that ukraine will never become a new member, a promise. the u. s. categorically rejects the u. s. deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman said the talks couldn't be considered negotiations under current terms, and that russia must deescalate. now, if moscow wants to keep talking, russia has been massing soldiers near the ukranian border for weeks causing concern for russia. denies any intention to attack russia's deputy foreign minister called

the talks professional. but he says moscow remains firm on a central point to we on the score that for us is absolutely mandatory to make sure that ukraine never, never, never becomes a member of nato. and the answer to that from brussels. the door to nato remains open for ukraine due to memorial renew. it is for ukraine, on the 3rd to nato allies, to decides when ukraine is ready for membership. no one else has in. there are 2 same thing. modems expert suspect that her rushes, president putin. the uncompromising wrangling in geneva is about more than ukraine, if staggered us as a think in the end when he can get is a process which could take longer and could work towards negotiating a new european security order. and fun, or fun, annoying, or patient shouts, ordinal. there will be further talks and brussels on wednesday at the nato russia council, though they're likely to be just as difficult with russia massing troops,

we asked our washington correspondent, caroline, a cheap toy. how great the risk of conflict is in ukraine. here's what she had to say. we have seen that all sides are quite a pessimistic and have already said how they would react if there is really no breakthrough. after this dialogue this negotiations, insulting burke, for example, the secretary general of nato, and i quote him, the alliance is a prepared for a new armed conflict in europe should talks with russia trail and also sergey lever off has been quite pessimistic. so if there is no compromise reached, we could see an installation of this conflict. carleen, achieve boy in washington did well in other news world number one tennis player, novak joke of each has returned to the court for training in australia after

winning a legal battle to stay and play in the upcoming australian open on monday, a judge in melbourne, overturn the cancellation of his visa over corona virus rules and that release the r vaccinated player from immigration detention jokey, which his family and supporters have. welcome the decision, but this still isn't over. the australian government could still cancel his visa on different grounds and to put him ah, they were so happy that their hero is free, for now. they mobbed any car, even if they couldn't be 100 percent. sure, novak joke of it was inside, outside his lawyers office, they celebrated into the night somewhere, pepper sprayed in the chaos outside court to joke of inches. supporters cheered the decision to overturn his visa being canceled. i mean,

go with you in the judge order. joking, which is released from immigration detention calling the australian government's decision unreasonable. he rolled that joke, which hadn't been given enough time to respond to that decision. the serbian had arrived in australia, believing he had a medical exemption to rules requiring a corona, virus vaccine. this it emerged was due to a december 16th cove at 19 infection, but the australian government argued that exemption didn't apply to people entering the country from overseas. that contradicted what joke of which had been told by tennis australia the tournament organizers. i'm not gonna blame anyone the conflicting information and the contract information that you receive is because of the changing environment. we are in

a very challenging form for everyone has been involved in this process. ciocca bitch treated that he was pleased to am grateful with the decision after the court's ruling going on to say he's now focused on the tournament. but the saga is not over yet. the australian government can still cancel joker, which is visa on the grounds of public health. for now, though, joke of inches, family is thrilled with the rather atypical victory. or for me, this is the biggest victory in his career. the bigger than all his grand slams ever even winning on the court is 2nd nature to joke of ich winning incorp. however, as proved a lot harder. we're now joined from indianapolis in the u. s. by alex grass. can he's the editor in chief of cracked rackets dot com, which covers old levels of tennis. alex, hi there. we just heard in that report. joke of it's really has won the 1st chapter

in this saga, but it's not over every one. it seems. has an opinion on this, where does the tennis community at large stand on? what's happened over the past few days? i think members of the to tennis community like members of all communities have somewhat made joke which a political martyr, at least those segments that you know, are less predisposed to being vaccinated already. and i think the response we saw as your video mentioned, fans out on the streets ultimately pepper sprayed due to their actions. you know, i believe they rushed a car were throwing bottles, jumping on the top of these cars, you know, joke which to some has now represented an element of freedom of fight against the restriction. so many governments are placing on their citizens in order to fight this pandemic. it's so unfortunate that the tennis itself has been caught up. and so frequently when you're discussing tennis, it's about something that's happened off the court related to the story as opposed to on it. but unfortunately,

this has become the story in of the australian open. and i think the tennis community like all communities, unfortunately a bit fragmented by tilt just a little bit about joke of it himself. because on the one hand we have one of the world's greatest tennis players. but we've also got to know, i guess his lesson or inside someone who is an anti vac. so who appears to adhere to some sort of unusual, unorthodox beliefs, who is no back talk of it to a fascinating question. it's a one journalists have been asking in the tennis world since his emergence back in 2006, 2007. and look, if you were a 3435 year old athlete who has been crowned a champion, a king by your home country, one of is not the most successful athletes in serbian history. to some extent, you can understand the drastic quality of self belief that no back joke of it carries. he has to believe there is something about him that uniquely separates him . not only from every other tennis player,

but every other athlete to the point where at 3435 years old, later this year, he can still compete at his highest level. it's not very frequently, you can say a 35 year old is doing that off the short list, you know, tom brady, serena williams too. but those are 2 of if not the greatest of all time in their sports. that's where novak joke, which carries himself when he believes himself to be. now again, people can choose to endorse his beliefs or not. i think that's where some of the radical elements of his belief comes from is that he has been the best forever. and to do that, you almost have to convince yourself that you are just smarter and inherently better than everyone else. thank you very much, alex, for your insights to uganda. now, where children are back at school for the 1st time since march 2020. that's when rising cases of coven 19 cause the government to impose some of africa's toughest restrictions. but authorities estimate that about a 3rd of pupils on not returning because of things like teenage pregnancy and

children having to work to help their families make ends meet experts room that a whole generation could miss out on an education dw reporter julius morgan. what is in uganda he asked students how they felt on their 1st day back in class. i mean how they feel that they go back to school bag badge up with gifting us. so by them were closed down, we had to vote for younger to be rec, no wouldn't been to school, not even print off turned out. but we hope that we continue. shall we do more now, but the classes i finally opened 2 years later. now this is the longest, the government of uganda wanted to stop the spread of coffee. 19. that decision was wide. the welcome. at that time until it 1st wide criticism, many gunman started questioning the rush and i love keeping. i was close closed

when elsewhere in other countries. lana's we're studying now other schools open. but kids are nowhere to be in. the government actually expect 3 out of 10 liners not to return to school across the country, teenage pregnancies on their record high. many goes, may never return to school, was a family's a fishing, very big financial challenges. some breadwinners we used to support kids, did not survive the pandemic. and when it comes at the institutional level, schools have closed. some private schools being out of business for 2 years, us forced them to close indefinitely, and some experienced teachers have also quit the profession. and now some analyzing that what we're seeing today may lead into a bigger impact, a generation with the wide knowledge gum. i reported julius lou gamboa in

uganda that will easily has introduced a series of new corona virus restrictions aimed at encouraging unvaccinated people to get the job. the government is responding to a wave of new cases, fueled by the alma kron variance. now this comes as authorities introduced mandatory cove, 19 vaccines for people over the age of 50 last week to try and slow the spread of the virus. people on the island of escape started their week having to navigate tougher. corona virus restrictions a series of services will now be off limits to those who have not been jabbed, including restaurants, jim's or public transport islanders must present a vaccination certificate known as the super green pass to be able to commute to the mainland. it sparked anger among some living here who say they'll be forced into exile with to struggle gone thing. the health minister has granted justice bailey bandaid was we can brought the ship some trouble for health

reasons or to get to school. great. what about the need to get to work? wanted to inquire, not everyone has a possibility to get vaccinated. everybody is free to do what they want. therefore, if somebody does not want to get vaccinated, the government cannot oblige him all her. of these reasons, i don't think it's fair to enforce the mandatory vaccination. italy has seen a rise in cases of the highly contagious ami con variant. in recent weeks, the government declared that people over 50 must be vaccinated against the virus. permanent samaya drudgery already made it mandatory for teachers and health workers and is urging others to do so. nike comb with those. he got food he got through. good, good. i'm part of the, the problem you're bounced of the problems we are facing today. due to the fact that there unvaccinated people been so known by unvaccinated, have a higher chance of developing the disease and severe forms of the disease that i'm

a thea. and while the new rules are aimed at curbing the spread of infections, it's posing a logistical challenge for those living on the islands who fear limits, their movements will leave them behind. and his, the quick reminder of the top story way following for you the 1st day of high stakes talks between russia and the u. s. is ended with noise breakthrough. the talks are aimed at d, escalating tensions over ukraine with western countries. fearing the kremlin kremlin could be planning an invasion. moscow wants nato to stop its eastwood expansion and your up to date on d, w v d w. use off. next is a documentary on the millionaires of congress. don't go away. ah, we're all set to go.
