a busy few days for 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. all the guidelines in my common goal is to prevent a war in europe and but deployment to 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 blix by micron who pushed for further talks on visits to moscow and kiev shoot 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. the german is foreign minister on a lena bear balk, 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 borders, it still hoped, but a diplomatic solution can be found. after so many weeks of diplomacy? well, these latest talk make a difference. we put that question to d. w. chief political editor, mikaela covina. well, 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 revised. the o. s. c, e and the name to rasa dialogue is continuing just to keep rasa at the negotiating at the talking table. and i say negotiating because the minor, my mom did come back with something that he claimed was knew 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. we

what this 70 diplomacy continue. our chief political editor, michaela cook now. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making world news. at least 14 people have been killed in a landslide in columbia. the incident followed heavy rains in a mountainous region in the center of the country. 35 people have been reported injured. indirect talks between iran and the u. s. aimed at 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 a number of vital is use remain unresolved. for the pope benedict has asked victims of sexual abuse in the catholic church for forgiveness. however, benedicts 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. thailand has moved a step closer to de criminalizing cannabis. the government has officially dropped cannabis from its list of controlled drugs. that means all parts of the plans will soon be allowed to be used in the country. however, extracts with too much of the plans psychoactive components t h. c will remain illegal. canadian prime minister just intruder has vowed 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. auto. we're bringing the business district to a stand still and shutting down the busiest border crossing from the us or to a police are requesting back up from across the country. as this struggling to contain, the truckers below 0 temperatures appear no match for these truckers heated

rage. they want an end to the government 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 prison. personal like we 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 as 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 expressed public support for the protesters and criticized in online fundraiser for them getting shut down. it is certainly not the concern of the texas attorney general as to how we in canada go. busy about our daily lives in accordance with the rules law. ottawa, 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 truck protests have sprung up at key transit points between canada and the us, bringing traffic to a halt. earlier we spoke to evans dia, a senior reporter with the canadian public, broke off the cbc. and also we also about treaters vow to bring an end to the protest and if he expects the truckers to go home quietly, i don't think many of us do expect that to be perfectly honest. i think 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 the 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 or to move the drivers of all lock their air brakes. they are definitely here to stay and they have the finance team 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. although this morning we did see a couple of cracks in the governing party starting so much more. i'm one member from it's fairly well known number from the, from the liberal party did come out this morning and break with the government on its position on back to mandates and question whether they were still science 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, but that's necessarily a policing solution to it at all. cbs's ever di the in ottawa at the nominations for the 94th academy awards have been announced. and netflix is dark weston. the power of good dogs directed by jane campion is leading the field with 12 oscar nominations,

well, i will tell you the biggest nod is lady gaga, and a lot of people on the fence. her. i thought she carried the film in the house of gucci. i did not think that the house of good, she was one of the best films of the year, but i thought her performance in the house of gucci was what the best performance is of the year. so i was very surprised to not to see that she didn't get any nomination for that. so a very surprising. yeah. what about your personal favorites? so what should we look out for? i think this is king richard year as much as the it's going to be the power of the dog. i think that will smith deserves an oscar for his performance. are playing the father of serena and venus williams, a tennis legend, he just did a phenomenal job and i think this is his year for that. i think he's going to walk away with the best actor trophy. and i think the women who paid his 8th in the film
