among other things to rule out future nato membership for ukraine. in his written reply to moscow's proposals, washington offers what it calls a serious diplomatic path out of the crisis. in recent weeks, russia has massed some 100000 troops near it's border with ukraine stirring fears of an attack. a military exercise on the ukrainian border. russia is flexing its muscles while washington has handed her written response to moscow's demand. or response to russia reflects what i said in heave berlin in geneva. last week we're open to dialogue. we prefer diplomacy and we're prepared to move forward. where there is the possibility of communication cooperation. if russia deescalate its aggression toward ukraine, stop the inflammatory rhetoric and approaches, discussions about the future security in europe. in a spirit of reciprocity,

our responses were fully coordinated with ukraine and our european allies and partners with whom we've been consulting continuously for weeks. the response was delivered personally by the u. s. and passenger to russia. moscow, once nato, to close its doors to ukraine. something washington is firmly opposed to nato has also sent a written reply rejecting moscow's demands while we are hoping for. i'm working for a good solution. the escalation, we also prepared for the worst under their, for in parallel with our efforts on the dialogue track. and we are also, i'm increasing the redness. our forces are on a dollars have also increased the, the preston sir, partly to conduct surveillance to monitor, to have the best possible picture of the development, sir, in, in, in there,

under crane, but also to broad a reassurance sir, to, to allies in paris. there was diplomacy at a lower level. the no mandy format brought germany, france, russia, and ukraine together for another round of talks or some fog didn't know. the very fact that the work of enormity format has resumed is a very positive signal, like we had really very comprehensive talks voe. they weren't easy. let's call it a key, an audit of where we are today. why and when la sherwood near us, the next meeting will take place soon, maybe even in 2 weeks, and it will take place in berlin. we agreed to continue our dialogue. lodging it showed yellow, has the us than its allies. russell with flushes, demands of frosty atmosphere,

spreads along ukraine's border. and we have team coverage on this story with our correspondence, emily sherwin in moscow and terry schultz in brussels. terry, the u. s. a native have now delivered written responses to russia's security demands. what's their message? good morning, terry. the message from both the u. s. and nato to moscow is that there is still a chance for diplomacy to get out of this. escalating military buildup that moscow continues along the border with ukraine. and you could see from this very coordinated effort to last night, both in the u. s. and nato, delivering their letters and coming out and holding these press conferences in the evening that they wanted to show to the kremlin that they were following moscow's request in, in issuing, written a written response to the demands of, of moscow. some of which are, are clearly unacceptable to both the u. s. and nato. but they wanted to not give

russia an excuse that they had not responded in written form. so there were no surprises in these letters. as we heard from both secretary blanket and secretary general stilton burg, they are offering things like a possible reduction in exercises. if moscow does the same and it becomes more transparent with what it's doing with its troops, they offer talks about, you know, reduction of, of arms, arms control, things that russia truly is interested in. but of course, the prize for the kremlin would be nato offering not to expand, promising, not to expand. and that has remained a non starter from, from the very beginning. so while there is a slight glimmer of hope with the the normandy talks agreeing to go on in 2 weeks, there really isn't a lot of hope on this side that these letters are going to satisfy anything the kremlin wanted. emily no surprises, as terry says, no concessions to russia's main demands regarding ukraine and nato. how is this

going down in moscow where we have yet to get an official reaction from the russian foreign ministry and also from the kremlin? and actually, it's interesting to note that bloody mir putin has been conspicuously quiet on all of these talks. and in the last few weeks actually for around a month, we have had a reaction from the deputy head of russia security council to meet the media. so you might remember, he was president here as well for a few years, and he said it was only the talking and dialogue that could mean that the 2 sides could avoid war. so kind of a conciliatory tone there. of course, this is bad news for russia, but as terry was saying, there's no surprise. i think the russians went into these talks, knowing that essentially their main demand that demand for nato eastern expansion to be stopped was

a non starter. that's what they've been hearing for the last few weeks in various talks. i think from the russian point of view, this is a high stakes poker game that they've gone into with troops at the border. trying to keep the pressure up and to essentially see what they can get from the west. and as harry was saying, i think many of the things that they've been offered in the past few weeks are actually interesting for the russian side. the question now is how they can kind of, you know, go back on their main demand in the long run without losing face. emily, thank you so much. our correspondence, emily? sure. when they're in moscow and to terry schultz in brussels, thank you very much. do you both? dozens are dead after tropical storm anna wreaked havoc in mozambique malawi and madagascar. torrential rains have destroyed crops, cut off towns and lift tens of thousands of people homeless. after sweeping through

southern africa for over a week, anna has now been downgraded, but the rains continue in much of the region wherever possible people are assessing the damage and bracing for the hardship they see coming their way. these people are fighting to escape the rushing water, but make shift rafts. are there only refuge? one women who couldn't find dry land only just survived upon people. so i just started swimming. but i did not know where i was heading. i tried to grab hold of a tree along the way, but it felt as if i was being pulled down into the water. i had to swim for a long distance before i found a pall of washed of garbage. i held on to it and slept there until early morning. right. i could feel snakes were there too. i know with the

residents of this southern malawi in town, say this is the worst destruction they've ever experienced. one farmer has lost everything. he now gambled armenia. rob is devastating up. just look, all my mays crop has been buried. i planted one and a half acres hubbard. now grub over crops are gone longer. you fair? i am. i, i know where darcy, i'm right. this is the 2nd disaster. i've experienced in my life and it's the worst meeting about wilma, i'll go, bombard, now, warner, go one, b. thousands of homes were destroyed by storm. anna across malawi and mozambique, and locals have been left without electricity due to power cass. this is the latest natural disaster to hit southern africa, which has been badly hit by storms and cyclones in recent years. experts say

's questioned prime minister borders. johnson lawyer nor the leader looked at opposition leaders, one johnson to resign. it saying that he lied to the parliament. that's critical.

he said it whatever he says in his statement later today or tomorrow won't change the facts. isn't this a prime minister on a government that of showed nothing but contempt for the decency, honesty and respect, but define this country? oh, missus beka, we love this country. i'm doing everything i of course, of course he wants me out of the way. this is because he wants me out of the way. i caught many people. of course i didn't know. i did please hold to read as many people may want me out of the way, but i'll tell you the reason he won't have away from his. he knows that this government can be trusted to the idea that you can leader is an, a political crisis over allegations that he attended parties during lockdown public and rick johnson wants to continue in office various other m. p. 's. believe he has

become a distraction from other important issues facing the u. k. every nick is sucking attention from the real issues facing the product tracks and the sorting cost of living have pushed no families into poverty. it is time to get this over with sure. the prime minister, my dog, public trust in johnson's leadership, is that an all time low? one pool suggests that 2 thirds of the british want him to resign? no one should be above the law even in the prime minister. and again, if it's, if it's on the 19th of july, my baby was 8 days old. my mother couldn't travel over to come and see if i should meet her grandchild until child was, you know, 6 months old because of restrictions. and you know that all that kind of stuff, the findings of an internal investigation headed by civil servant. so gray, unexpected soon, and beast from johnson's party are waiting on that to decide whether to hold
