ah. on line mark, thank you very much for joining us. we starts with the latest efforts to diffuse growing tensions between russia and ukraine, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski, calling for com. after speaking with you as president joe biden. he said there has been no further escalation with russia at the moment, and is asking allies to dial down talk of war. earlier french president, a menu when michael spoke with russia's, vladimir putin, whose country has mast tens of thousands of troops on ukraine's border. mister prudent told mister mccoy, that nato and the u. s. were ignoring russia. security demands, but kept the door open to further diplomacy. meanwhile, nato secretary general yes, told birts that the alliance is prepared to put more troops in eastern europe after washington warned ukraine to be on alert for an invasion. scanning the landscape on

this ukrainian border city troops try to gauge moscow's next move. one soldier believes an attack here in lou haskell is unlikely silhouette. natural switzerland anavia is not strong enough to withstand heavy attack. a coastline could be easily captured. but as an affiliate though with that's my opinion. everybody thinks about invasion to hockey for don bus. but that's the wrong point of view. chit, as clark, you should have them, but if they attack, they will do it from the see fit. go with the chose more. in the black sea rushes navy carries out drills on friday. still the kremlin says it wants a peaceful resolution used to be at the lease. if it's up to us, that's the russian federation. there will be no law. it's, you know, we don't want war before. it's all we will not allow interest to be violated. yes. and we will not allow our interests to be ignored and you either it's hope to

diplomatic offensive will deescalate tensions. high stakes talks with various players are giving hope that a war in eastern europe can be averted for those stuck in the middle. life is on hold in the games, we just hope russia takes us for good because it has to stop at some point. it's been what, but anyway, 8 years of conflict with somebody at the re deployment. we have them as diplomatic efforts advance, the u. s. is still warning ukraine to prepare for russian invasion a stick in our to paris, france, where we can speak to martin, can say a security and defense alice with the german marshal fund. they're very warm. welcome to the w news. what's your take on the outcome of this a phone call that took place or earlier today, between a present present to my call and the president putin. where mister burton told them

a call. he is unhappy that the west ignored russia. security concerns while the outcome is somehow expected, the called took place after the you will send a written answer to the kremlin. and i think it was important for france to show that it was possible. it was important to continue the dialogue with russia and to clarify each other's position. and this is what, what the discussed now from a call with russia this morning. and then later with ukraine, sort of contribute to the overall european and drug on the diplomatic effort to find a way to do escalate the situation in the ukrainian or russian border. i think what we can expect now is that france will turn to need to when europe, in allies discuss what has been said with the president of russia and see what ways

could be explored for more talks in the, in the next days, i want to get your view on this, of course, france and germany are making a concerted diplomatic. a push to diffuse prospect of a potential ground war. is paris, worried about the american approach to ukraine? tensions? so the, actually, there is quite a remarkable coordination among other departments during this crisis is something that has to be noted because we've seen over the past year or criticisms from european allies over the way. if i the how to handle the form of canister, or the creation of the orchestra packed in the case of russia crane crisis, trazadone coordination has been excellent. the french position is that they have the same that they see the same things as the americans, or they see the same things as the grid. but they don't necessarily have the exact same analysis of the situation of the board. and in particular,

there might be some disagreements over the imminence of russian action in ukraine. it seems that the american and british analysis is that something is coming very, very soon with the french defense analysis is a bit more prudent. there is something to discuss here, but all world coordination is quite good. in conclusion, in germany, as you know, has come under heavy criticism recently over ties with russia, especially when it comes to north stream through the pipeline that will bring russian gas directly to germany by bypassing ukraine. what is the alias position when it comes to north stream to to dailies is as remain rather quiet on the matter . what we've heard from the french minister of foreign affairs is that russia would face that massive consequences. massive sanction. this exact same language used by his american counterpart, tony lincoln. so france supports the idea that europeans need to build sanctions

regimes, in case russia acts, but francois is not taking clear of position over what kind of sanctions need to be implemented. now, almost from 2. in particular, the french have been quite clear in signaling to the german partner that they're not happy with the way no stream increases our vulnerabilities and our dependencies to russia. and that this is something that needs to be discussed among europeans. and this is not only a german decision, but i can say a deputy director of the year paris office of the german marshall fund. thank you for taking our questions. a quick lane look now rather at some of the other stories making headlines today. north korea has released images of its latest missile test launches on tuesday and thursday were of new short and long range missile systems. young young has conducted 6 weapons tests in january,

a civilian and democratic government. they raped women. they killed revolutionary. hello, and was our protest. i think we will make sure the democratic system comes back to ship identical. i'm the mom that i mean they owe me 475 to the fight against the military regime is personal on the banner, a picture of what the doctor shot dead. well, trying to help other protesters recently to don had been moving towards becoming a democracy for this latest military take over his crush. all hopes general up to the snow in charge. and the protesters once him out, once again, they're facing the pushback from the security. so that has been the reality of 4 weeks ago, and a lot of people getting injured during the protest. the security forces are responding with violence towards the demonstrators. more than 70 demonstrators were killed in the military. coups in october and thousands were injured. neighborhood

committees are blocking access to their streets, fearing a text by the security forces. it's the grassroots movement. the protests are not being organized by political parties. the people who want a civilian government and no compromises with a military, but the military has lots to lose, says human rights activists move down him and them after the cool he was offered the position of a new civilian prime minister by the military to a peace protesters, but he refused. he doesn't believe they wants to reform on the discussion. i said, you know, i know probably give that to you. i'm giving forward to the civilian and i went to this. you mean it didn't take him to liberal justice is also what? sorry for up to la once. back at her house and muran reminds her every day of her son, bobby lee told was that he would be happy seeing us continue

the co chair of germany's fall rights empty has announced his leaving the party. your morton has been co leader of the 8th day since 2015. he said he was upset with the parties extreme right wing accusing it of rejecting basic democratic principles . he was co head of the f t for 6 and a half years longer than any one before him to day. he's not only resigning from office. he is leaving the f t completely ear morton confirmed this in an interview with german state broadcasters. that had to day the heart of the party beats far to the right. and at a high frequency which isn't healthy, i see echoes of totalitarianism. will these right wing extremists soon be in charge of your party? didn't fuss? they already have more influence than they should. they are itching, goes, has, and of white and says factions of the party don't believe in the basic tenets of

a free democracy. and that's one reason he thinks the f t has no future other than as a regional eastern german party. some accused morton of not having opposed the right wing extremists firmly enough. he had the hand of at 1st he made those on the right wing extremist side seemed socially acceptable and led them to the center of the f t. he was a fig leaf for right wing extremists. his rebellion came too late. it appeared he was just trying to save his on reputation when i can walk through that. whiten wants to keep his mandate in that you, parliament. but 1st he has to deal with the trouble cost by his a legit acceptance of illegal party donations. the parliament has said to lift his immunity, clearing the way for an investigation by public prosecutors. when i'm talking to these of you where chief political editor, michela christner in berlin, michela, i'm our critics right. who we just heard? is this a resignation only to save his reputation or is there more to it?

there certainly is more to it. i mean, he may have not that terribly much to lose any more as he faces an investigation for potentially with the allegation of having accepted illegal part to funds. interestingly, some of from some of the same names that seem to here on a list of donors for vinyl, who is a co leader in parliament and seen is very friendly to the extreme white wing of the a party. what your mike did try to do is 2 years ago he stood up and tried to steer the car to party back towards unless extreme more centrist course. it's a spectacular resignation that we're seeing here today. but it is the recognition that he basically lost in his battle against coley, that you know, co halla, and beyond hucker be seen as he most extreme end of the fall, right? a if d and that's why we're also hearing some very, very tough rhetoric with more and after all, until just a short while ago,

the co leader of the party accusing his party of being very close to if not in parts anonymous with neo nazis. we had to put this in perspective for us, contextualize at how much of a conflict with right wing extremists is there within the a f d party. well, that sets the tone for any party gathering. in fact, it is part of the history. he is the 3rd leader to resign a failing to steal the car seat policy back to the more centrist conservative course, and the far right one every single time. the big question is, how much further to the light will the deed drift under this leadership? that is very much open, that is not throwing any red lines. and how much of an opportunity is this now for angela mckelvey conservatives, and now led by a mass who wants to clinch back those voters who went to the far right

a f d. now is this clearly going into more extremist course? it probably has maxed out on how many votes can get. that's what the last elections proof. they didn't increase their share and no longer the strongest opposition party. and they mag, may now be fighting an uphill battle to display from the fact that they are interesting towards the extremist right. did have you chief political editor, mikayla, casner. thank you. 6 men have gone on trial today and germany over there alleged roll in the green vault museum. jewel theft, the robbery at the driest and museum took just 8 minutes. investigators say the suspects made off with a lute worth at least 113000000 euros. though their cultural value is priceless, the stolen gems are still missing. security was high as the trial of 6 men got

museum hasn't given up hope that they can still be recovered. bus woodside, but it is very helpful that this case is getting international publicity once again with antenna sonata. if it increases our chances of finding the precious jewels, the highest prompted criticism over the green vault security. it's now being upgraded to help keep the museums remaining treasures safe. let's go now to a did of your correspondence and when you have shows that she is in dresden of following the trial, am a good to see you. what do we know about what do, what more do we know rather about the suspects? well, to seek sir suspects who are before the court to call to day all belong to the same class there in their twenties. and they are suspected of having taken part to what is germany's biggest heights highest a so far you see behind me where these are all

a took place in the green volt at museum. whereas where jewels are invaluable jewels belonging to a german museums and which are reflecting german history, ah, is teal, a cat? so to day, as a child began any to expect it to bring to light a chain of responsibility and a role each of those are those man, all belonging to the same plan are hard on the night of the highest, emma talked to us about the jewelry i mean, these are irreplaceable pieces of historic value. they're gone now for good. well, this is the thing layla a day or value day monetary value is, is estimated at over a 130000000 euros bed. lackey. se at those places are, is simply inestimable. they are part of their german history and, and you know, our art historians and also the investigators fear that we will never find them

seeing how many, how many police vans and how many police officers were, you know, it was a, we're wearing, or a machine guns around at the place where the trial is taking place. so you can really see that is something that people here are, are following or following was it was a lot of interest. like he said, it's a part of their history. emily rushes reporting from drayton banker, emma spanish tennis start off. i on the dull has powered into the final of the australian open. he beat elite mike, they are bethany ann is a step closer to a record 21st man's grand slam singles title. he'll play danielle mother the f in sunday's showpiece match. oh, not on the brink of history rather than a doll needs just one more triumph to become the 1st man to 21 grand slam singles titles. he faced italy's mateo bettina is australian open semi final taking the 1st
