he briefed polish precedence on j, judah, and jim, and chancellor of charles, who just returned from one on one with in washington with you as president biden. it's been a busy few days the world leaders as they engage in a diplomatic push affair to resolve the crisis on ukraine's boulders here under the leaders of germany, france and poland put on a defiant front in berlin. on tuesday. was like eliza not common goal is to prevent a war in europe. and the deployment of russian troops on the border with ukraine is very worrying. and our assessment here is very much the same as is our position here. this does a dent uncle she in this is the meeting followed a diplomatic blitz by micron who pushed for further talks on visits to moscow and kiev through mama, i believe that we have concrete, practical solutions that will allow us to move forward. we have had the opportunity

to discuss this together. i've also had the opportunity to discuss this with president putin, as i have done with my european partners and several of our allies. particularly the kremlin denied reports that putin told micron. russia would not further rump up military tensions on would pull troops out of bella roost later this month. that german is foreign minister online. a bare bach also visited east in ukraine on tuesday. she said there could be no military solution to russian aggression. backing kiev, president lensky said he expects more talks to take place sylvia. but as more us troops are sent to europe's eastern boulders, it still hoped, but a diplomatic solution can be found. after so many weeks of diplomacy, will these latest talks make a difference?

we put that we put that question to d. w chief political correspondent, michaela covina. well. 2 let's be honest to night is not the night where there will be any breakthrough, even on the western side to find any kind of new common line. this is a 3 way debrief in the so called by my triangle format, which had been pretty much dead in the water for more than a decade. but now it emphasizes that any feasible format is being revived. the o. s. c, e and the nato rasa dialogue is continuing, just to keep rasa at the negotiating at the talking table. and i say negotiating because the minor, my horn did come back with something that he claimed was new. and that basically he had received assurances from putin not to escalate the situation further to stick to the previous deal. that's the bad uminski agreement. that's the basis of the no,

no more d format talks. so that is room for diplomatic maneuver. that's the bottom line. and that's the over arching good news, but this is only taking shape as we what this subtlety diplomacy continue mikaela gift other speaking to us earlier. let's take a look now at some other stories making world news. indirect talks between iran and the u. s. m. this reviving, the iran 2015 nuclear deal have restarted after a short break. delegates say the talks have made limited progress since they resumed in november, and the number of vital issues remain unresolved. the un is warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis in madagascar off recycler tour across the country over the weekend killing at least 21 people. tens of thousands more have been displaced from their homes. but i guess guy was already reeling from

a tropical storm that killed 55 people late last month. australian prime minister scott morrison apologized to former staff, who said she was sexually assaulted inside parliament house and cambra. bert brittany higgins revelations triggered a review of the legislatures working culture. it found that more than a 3rd of parliamentary staff time had been bullied or sexually harassing. at work. in the supply form of pope benedict has asked victims of sexual abuse in the catholic church forgiveness. however benedict denied any personal or specific wrong doing. an independent report released in january said that benedict had failed to act against clerics in 4 cases of alleged abuse. canadian prime minister just intruder has about to bring an end to a truck, a protest against pandemic restrictions. now, in its 2nd week,

the protests have gripped canada and paralyzed parts of the capitol. also bringing the business district to a standstill and shutting down the busiest border crossing from the us or to a police are requesting backup from across the country. as they're struggling to contain the truckers ah, below 0 temperatures appear no match for these truckers heated rage. they want an end to the government's pandemic restrictions and especially vaccine mandates. and they'll shut down a city if it means getting back what they consider their freedom. i would die on the streets for my kids immigrant kid here in a personal personal like who saw people on the side of the street with their saw his at o'clock at night 40 below in the weather, standing there with their signs and telling us that we're the only hope a bunch of truckers with their hockey sticks and flags that come on. how did we get

here? and one, although rules are largely up to canada's provinces, much of the protestors anger is directed at the national government led by justin trudeau. they want to see him go. the government says the protesters represent only societies, fringe, nearly 83 percent of people in canada over the age of 5, are fully vaccinated against cove at 19 o, as protest demands have morphed from anti facts to anti government. more broadly, officials are concerned about violence and reports of hate speech. they're also wary of foreign interference. some republican lawmakers in the united states, such as the attorney general of texas, have express public support for the protesters and criticized in online fundraiser for them getting shut down. it is certainly not the

concern of the tax, his attorney general as to how we in canada and go. busy about our daily lives in accordance with the rules law. auto mayor jim watson described the protest as a seach of the city and requested $1800.00 more police officers to quell the unrest . that's almost equivalent to the city's entire regular force. no end in sight. to the contrary. smaller shrug protests have sprung up at key transit points between canada and the u. s. bringing traffic to a halt. earlier we spoke to evan dia, a senior reporter with the canadian public bro costa cbc. in ottawa, we asked him about true dos vow to bring an end to the protests, and if he expects the truck has to go home quietly. i don't think many of us do expect that to be perfectly honest. i think of what we've seen is a really high level of commitment from these truckers,

they're absolutely determined to ride this out. we've even seen people remove wheels from their trucks in an effort to make them more mobile than they already are. and of course, an 18 wheeler is already very on or to move the drivers of all lock their air brakes. they are definitely here to stay and they have the financing to be here to stay. and so far we've seen no sign of weakening from the organizers or ordinary participants in this convoy. i'm fact i would say very little sign of flexibility from the government as well. all those this morning we did see a couple of cracks in the governing party starting to emerge 11 member from a fairly well known number from the, from the middle party did come out this morning and break with this government and its position on back to mandate some question whether they were still scientifically necessary or if they were being politicized. so we haven't really seen a way out of this crisis yet, and the police are frankly admitted. they don't believe that that's necessarily

a policing solution to it at all. c, b, c 7. dia. this speaking to us earlier from also now the nominations for the 94th academy awards have just been announced. netflix is dark western. the power of the dog directed by jane campion is leading the feel with 12 oscar nominations, including one best picture, is followed closely by the sy fy fx g, which received 10 nominations and is also in the running for the best picture price . what did you see it now for more, let's speak to entertainment journalist k j matthews, who joins us from los angeles get to see k j. so power off the dog is the leading the field to 70. so you know, it's hard to say it's

a great film. well written while direct it will act it. you know, i've been to cover batch in. it is kirsten don't or jane campion, directing. he also got an oscar nom today, but a lot of people are saying it's more of an art house film. it may not be one of those globally, except it films, you know, a box office matches, but it is well done. it does deserve some nomination. i am surprised though that he got the most nominations 12 nominations, but it's definitely worth seeing for sure. all right, i will mark that. i haven't seen it yet myself. i put that on my list. so what about the big name emissions this year? who's been snubbed this year? well, i'll keep saying this and some people are saying they're not surprised at all. i am surprised. lady gaga makes no for house. uh huh. i thought she did a phenomenal job was the house of beauty. one of the best him for a year. i don't believe it was, but i believe it ha, ha ha performance in that film was amazing and she really carried them. so i

thought she did of some sort of nomination, so i was quite surprised. not see, will be nominated. also i didn't receive any nomination for her for trail of the great or the late aretha franklin. so a snub air. so yeah, quite surprising. what about your personal favorites, or what can we expect? you know, i'm going to go out and say, i believe that this is the year of thing. richard wilson. i think you get a phenomenal job which rang the father of serena and venus williams. the tennis, like the great, great, great, great job in which playing him on the big school and he's nominated in the best actor category. he will be going up against a dental washington with receiving his knife nomination or me and leave me that he did a phenomenal job as well. and then we also had, you know,

to come back in the power the might get that also anthony garfield and tick tick, boom. and then we have your pardon in being the ricardo. if i had to choose out of all those gentlemen in that category, for best actor, my money will be on with me. thank you very much for those insights. their entertainment journalists, katie matthews, in los angeles. and before we, before we go his reminder of the top story with following for you french precedents, emmanuel mackerel has arrived in berlin to complete to day of high levels. folks concerning the ukraine crisis is met with jim and johnson will have shelves and potency president on j. duda. buckroe was in key f to meet president vladimir soleski earlier in the day after president vladimir putin in moscow. and said he believed they would be no further escalation in the car
