as long as it can seems that the u. s. and for in secret services have decided that a russian attack or an escalation is imminent. and this activity is of course, to prevent it from happening, hoping that as long as talks are going on, there will be no shooting. but he has a blink and we'll go on to meet with his russian counterpart on friday. how much space is there still full diplomacy? after a whole series of meetings between western allies and moscow, including germany, foreign minister, i'm alina babel just yesterday, failed to achieve anything. well, what we can see is that russia is engaging in this diplomacy. the problem is, we do know what put his overall goal is. it is to extend or to re establish a part of the soviet sphere of an influence that the soviet union used to have and to bring ukraine back into this sphere of influence. but we do not know what his

priorities are. is this whole built of this military built up this a scenario made to get the west to talk to him? or is the really planning to bring back ukraine into his sphere of influence by force. this is the big question that they are trying to figure out and or from what put ins tactics would put in a calculations are, will depend whether diplomacy at this point can still be successful or not. it is of course worth trying it. that's the consensus in western countries and in ukraine as well. are christina mathias bellinger in care of their thank you. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. israel police have evicted a palestinian family from a disputed property in the flesh point east through some neighborhood of shaped draw and demolish the building. at least 18 people were arrested during the pre

concerns for the delivery of aid are right now. those a couple of things. one is the water situation. so were very concerned in case um, population run out of water usually does plenty of water in in top, but they rely on rainwater. and at the moment its toxic um and they can't use any of the water in their tanks. and so they have to rely on both holes. ah, and the, the people, they're the head of the n d m o. the disaster management operation. i spoke to him today and he's worried that the ball holes went be sufficient for all the whole population shops, rules were running out of supplies of food and water. so what is the key thing? and we're glad that term new zealand is, is on its way with a lot of a lot of a lot of water carrying water, but also the ability to see saline. so that's the most useful things they can treat

see water and turn it into potable water. so that will make a big difference. and then the other thing is the, the assessment cousin finished. and so we don't actually know the situation and some of the very remote outlying islands of ha, i region which may be affected and we got reports. but as you mentioned that a couple of low lying islands there have been pretty devastated with all houses are destroyed. and even true trees up rooted. and the whole population as had to be of accurate still at the toner, is still largely offline after the, the sol under c fiber optic communication cable was cut at the how are you getting information about the situation on the ground? well, several ways. it hasn't been easy. occasionally, some people are able to get some messages through either tweets or what

softball. and they get, they get a connection from somewhere else and, and, and it works temporarily. and we've got quite a lot of satellite communication now. so we've set up more sack homes, satellite phones, and we're sending a lot more equipment now. v sites and other things that will enable internet through using satellites. i'm not should be set up this week, but the, the cable is going to take weeks to fix it. we don't know the condition of it under the sea australia or sent a ship. now to take a look at it that's able to pull up the cable and take a look at it. but it may have been completely destroyed by the, by the around because it's quite close to the area of the old k. no. so that's not a short term solution, jonathan register for the united nations. thank you very much. thank you very much . authorities in turkey gave the emergency approval to
