ah, ah, this is dw, use live from berlin. diplomatic pushed to and the ukraine crisis intensifies the leaders of france, germany and poland unites in their result to prevent war, a call on russia to engage in meaningful dialogue. also coming out security forces in canada, struggle to contain a protest, my truck is against the government's covet. measures demonstrate has blocked the busiest land crossing into the united states. and we get the latest from the beijing games where snowboard, stash on white is on cost for both. go little,

some other top athletes struggle. ah, i'm been fizzle, and good to have you with us. european leaders are making a diplomatic push to defuse the crisis surrounding ukraine. russia continues to a mass troops along the border. french president manuel mccall visited his ukranian counterpart flawed of his lensky and kiev. on tuesday. he then joined the leaders of germany and poland in berlin to demonstrate what the 3 called united states to keep the peace in europe. let's listen to some of the main messages. like lines of our common goal is to prevent a war in europe, 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 tend

to 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 in brazil, it to my civil horn is a member of the german bonus hug for the conservative c s u and is the parliamentary group spokesperson for trans atlantic ties. welcome, my call says we have concrete, practical solutions that will allow us to move forward. what other solutions are? first it worse high time for the john chancellor to be in washington and to dispel any dallas on the new german government. the peer messages we stand united in the transit and the community. there is a close coordination also in details. and yes, everything is at the table. and what we need now is clear and concise. if messaging

was russia in order to bring them to the table negotiations, what is going to bring them to the table though? what, what's going to get that dialog continuing and, and, and some sort of solution found and everything on the table means we have to coordinate ourselves within the trans atlantic community on very concrete steps with being economic sanctions, including the entire energy supply, including also the delivery of not every everything but we have to have the concept and the messaging and talking and walking to go hand in hand. it's been rumored that mccoy is proposing a neutral status for ukraine to satisfy rushes, security demands. what, what do you make of that? we have to be aware of the fact that to jin follows

a long term strategic vision of restoring a sort of format, former soviet union. and at this point, we have to state that there is, this is tammy the difference between liberal democracies and author press it between the integrated countries in the european union and nato and russia. and here we can only state what has already been stated in the seventy's of the last century. we can only agree to disagree if you're in mind. the systemic difference is we have to find modus vivendi, how to proceed. and now it's up to the negotiating parties to sit together and to define concept an object or negotiations, how to shape the entire security architecture. but it's not up to any one of

the rest and leaders, i would say to proceed with singular proposals. we should stay united and during my long vision, the long term vision of fresh mr. civil horn, what would the neutral status for ukraine actually mean? no. what would that do? it's up to the ukraine to decide for themselves where they want to go with integration with democracy, raul and russia. now it says the entire international order is t, as if the russian concept is to dominate its neighboring countries to, to attack the sovereignty and territorial integrity. of countries, this is not a common ground for negotiations,

so we have to strike the stick to the international public order. and this is the, or essence of messaging we should send s r in returns. it's certainly a lot at stake here and so much more towards the other one from the german book. thank you very much for being on the show. canadian prime minister justin trudeau has vowed to bring an end to a truck, a protest against pandemic restrictions. now, in its 2nd week, the protests of gripped canada and paralyzed parts of the capital, ottawa, bringing the business district to a stand still and blocking the busiest border crossing with the us. or what police are requesting back up from across the country as they struggle to contain the trumpets almost 2 weeks into their seat in these protest is brush off another frozen also a morning. each day the hundreds of camped out truck is joined by supporting the movements that began in response to a vaccine mandate has grown into
