warning that their numbers have dropped dramatically over the past decade and rolling out for the red carpet. the berlin international film festival is back in business allies are on the wide screenings, and who will win the golden bayer? ah, i bring gov to our viewers watching a p b as in the united states and do all of you around the world. it's good to have you with us on this friday to night. strains in the high stakes diplomacy aimed at averting a war in ukraine. russia has announced large scale naval drills off the coast of ukraine. washington is pouring troops and weapons into eastern europe. the white house is saying that russia could attack ukraine any day now. likely, beginning with an air assault president joe biden has warned americans to leave

ukraine. now, st quote, things could go crazy. quickly. more activity on all sides of the ukraine conflict. russia's ministry of defense released footage of navy ships arriving in service to pull bay on the black sea. in the russian annexed crimean peninsula. they're here taking part in large scale landing drills. the situation makes many ukrainians uneasy. it's not a pleasant feeling. believe me, to understand that you and circled by the russian troops from beller wish 1000 kilometers more than 1000 from the east. and the last couple of days, sir, russia actually closed the entire a z o c. and the, the particles to blake seed actually exists. graham ports to the blacks,

the united states, once its citizens, out of the way of a possible invasion. immediately, we're continuing to draw down our, our embassy. we are still continue that process. and we've also been very clear that any american citizens who remain in ukraine should leave now while civilians pack up security forces are coming in the other direction . around a 1000 us soldiers arrived in poland to add to the $4000.00 service members already stationed there. and on romania as black sea coast, a 1000 strong strike force rolled in from a u. s. bass and germany. nato secretary general was there when they arrived. he spoke of the importance of boots on the ground as a deterrent to russia's military build up, which he called unjustified. so the combination old

military buildup, fit the rhetoric on a track record of using force against neighbors. of course, that's the reason for being a cedars are concerned and are being vigilant and ready also to a react if they once again use force against the ukraine. although the u. s. hasn't sent ground forces to ukraine. it continues to supply weapons to the beleaguered country. part of a $200000000.00 security package meant to keep this crisis from escalating into an outright conflict. before some analysis to 9 am joined by richard sock why he's a professor of russian and european politics of the university of kent in the u. k . he's the author of several books, including russia against the rest, the post code. we're crisis of world order professor, it's good to have you on the program. i'll ask you, be we bit, we've asked

a lot of people this. we're still trying to get a clear answer. do you know what, what is vladimir putin's end again? well, the end game is the same one that they've been trying to do for the last 30 years, garbage of yeltsin and put in. and that is to try to get a security order on the continent, which is what they would call, indivisible and inclusive. in other words, that nato isn't to body as it were, excluding russia, but it includes it. and so that goal isn't, is quite clear. well, how to achieve it, though? they would argue, look, we made all our speeches. we had put in speech in munich, security conference, and 27. we had measured as our dance for european security conference, and i was actually in berlin. in june 28. we had in 2018 at the state of the nation speech, listen to us. i'm not saying that what they're doing is justified or even that they demand should all be accepted. but what they are saying is talk to us as e quotes,

don't excuse me. that you have justice in the right only on your side. we have security concerns. of course, it's not the most delicate way of making this this point, but certainly that's the point he's trying to make. and in fact, these latest maneuvers and so on, it's probably in a sense, attempt to shock the west into a genuine diplomatic pair sess rather than this of the tokens that have so far been given. so you say then amassing these $100000.00 plus russian soldiers in russia along the border with ukraine. that's just, that's more window dressing to force nato, to force the west to come to the table and to talk id i in part, don't forget, on the other side that ukraine is 830000 tubes. now armed with british and american weapons, poised effectively if they said one to 2, i'm not saying they due to

a season attack, the dumbass. so initially the mobilization was to deter that. the point is my, my point is, is that we are in this sort of escalade to cycle and young stoughton. but clearly ahead of nato simply does not understand. he is completely out of his debt, but lincoln and sullivan don't understand this. the british, of course, don't. the germans, i think, did actual sin. others have understood in my co understood that you cannot have a security order against russia and not to expect everything to continue smoothly. and they say, look, it's been 30 years since you had the cold war. and you know, we've been complaining about nato enlargement ever since. you've ignored us. many, many western commentators, george karen, the leading one wounds that there would be a backlash. now we're having a backlash, i'm not justifying it. i'm simply explaining it and, and i wonder, we know that you're not going to get any of hooton's demands met in terms of

bringing native back to its pre 1991 size. for example, 9799. yeah. so yes, it may, but look like 1997. let's, let's assume though that there could be an agreement or an understanding reached regarding ukraine. ukraine maintains its sovereignty, but the west, the us and russia have an understanding that nato will not be in the picture in the future of ukraine. is that possible is not just stir nato, of course, because the united states has a, you know, it's got 800 basis on the world. and them show like a few in your game. so, so bilateral, so it's got to be more than simply a long term mug atoria mineta expansion. but, you know, i genuine commitment to neutrality, which of course, was the official position until december,

2014 on and off in ukraine. and don't forget that with their days, the intersection of 2 major crisis going on, the one, the internal ukrainian, one with 2 very different models of state building one which decides to build a state against russia and river security system also, which was out to mclean. and i don't think it was intended, but it's excluded russia, these 2 come conflicts. ok, i says overlapping. and so our analysis must be clear that we've got 2 things going on at the same time, residence upwards. good to get. your analysis is very valuable at this very volatile time. thank you. thank you. let's take a look now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. iranians are celebrating the 43rd anniversary of the islamic revolution. some said fire to us flags talks aimed at reviving your bronze 2015 nuclear agreement. resume

this week with a us urging to ron to reach a deal quickly. hardline president abraham ra, easy, told revelers to run is not pinning its hopes on a deal. you as president joe biden is expected to sign an executive order, allowing 3 and a half $1000000000.00 in frozen afghan monetary reserves to be used to help the afghan people without allowing the tale bon access to the money. other frozen assets will be used to support the families of the victims of the $911.00 terror attacks. canada's ontario province has declared a state of emergency over the truckers protests that has paralyzed the capital and block trade with the united states. ontario's government is threatening steep fines in prison sentences and less drivers in their blockade. the drivers want authorities to scrap all compulsory vaccinations and the truckers

purchased in canada it has sparked a copy cat action in france. thousands of protesters are heading for pears in what they are calling freedom convoys. the city has ban, demonstration sang, the risk to public orders simply to hi. but opponents of corona virus restrictions they are determined to reach pairs. french police are preparing for anything. as convoys of demonstrators descend on paris, members of the self styled freedom convoys are hoping to blockade roads in the capital to protest against coven measures. many have been inspired by similar truck or protests in canada, which have shut down central ottawa and cut off border crossings into the us. but the french con boys are made up of a range of vehicles driven by citizens who are fed up with frances covered restrictions. this level is full. i'm here to defend all of our freedoms and

especially against the vaccine particles and all q archives, whatever they al, plan on. i'm not douglas fed up with the dictatorship they've imposed on as the 2 years. and it's important to support people in this movement. while frances vaccine pass is a common source of anger, demonstrate as represent a mix of causes. rising energy prices are another major issue. an echo of the yellow vest protests that rocked the country in 2018 and 19 with presidential elections only a few months away. the french government has expressed some sympathy with protesters, but it doesn't want the movement hijacked by political opponents. the government also eased restrictions further on friday, announcing that mosques will no longer be required indoors from the end of february . but for many making the long drive towards paris, it's too little,

too late. with the 1st code, 19 vaccine manufacturing plant in africa has opened in south africa. while vaccination programs around the world have delivered more than 10000000000 doses, sub saharan africa is facing a massive shortage in the long term. hugs are that the cape town based average in biologists will be able to increase local production, deliver and affordable vaccine, and reduce dependency on imports. which day the head of the world health organization said that the new plant will help africa become more self sufficient in producing vaccines. this will not be done with marianna technology would be good for a chevy money entity. so this is an investment, and that could possibly be a game changer in combating the modalities. so this is big and

whatever time it thinks, key is as they were saying, that the quality of it would be w correspondent adrian crease, was able to get a 1st hand look inside the production facility, a replica of the more diana vaccine. that is what the m r and a vaccine have for africa is trying to produce. they were hoping for a technology transfer with would dana, but that hasn't happened. that's why and collaboration with south african universities and institutions. they made their own vaccine using information available in the public domain. it's an agenda has as not committed to technology trans that hate, i mean, in many aspects leave that needed anymore. so this is the same thing that will develop technology that will be transferred to multiple other organizations, loan middle income countries, building sustainable capacity and capabilities. but it is also an entity that has a long term deal on the design and development and production of novel vaccines.

new vaccines essential for the burden of disease in london, middle income countries. companies like biotech have been critical about that approach as they have been about the idea of way with intellectual property rights for vaccine production. but south africa and the world health organization are supporting this initiative. because the only option we have is to succeed. so we will and it's in good hands. the baby is in good hands as we have seen that. and we have identified also some of the challenges we will address those and then move on this and that will be a center that rings almost everybody together. so we will work together, and it's not either or we can use all options, by the way, to make sure that we have all the tools to fight this pandemic, but also prepared strategy for the future. what is clear, though, this is a long term project that will probably not have an impact during the currents pandemic. clinical studies are likely going to take years. but so far, africa has only producing less than one percent of the vaccines that are also used

here. the w h o is backing an initiative that wants to bring that number up to 60 percent by 2040 reporting la to look down. some of the other developments in this pandemic, the united states, as ships almost 2000000 vaccine dev's is to countries in sub saharan africa. germany says that it's surgeon infections has nearly peaked signaling that europe's largest economy could soon ease restrictions. france, everly belgium in iceland are lifting some of their restrictions, relaxing. mask mandates, in some cases or opening bars. of rants in the united states are joining forces to push for a global agreement to protect our oceans from plastics. they've been else the initiative on this final day of the one, the ocean summer, a gathering of researchers and business leaders on frances atlantic coast.

oh, the world is warming and the polar ice caps are melting nations. they are melting into filling with plastic review by the w w. f one. the substance has reached every part of the ocean. we definitely reach the point where the system is overloaded and where we enter or where we will be edge. because the problem seems to become, or will grow bigger over the couple of a coming years because it produces of plastic already stated that it was more so we fear that more plastic will end with the oceans. and the commission in the, in the oceans to micro anaplastic, which great biggest problems the temperatures across the oceans pose. yet more problems us research is found out. the hottest temperature is recorded in the oceans between 18701919. and look to how often the sees around the world beat that

range in the years that followed they found that in the year 1900, the ations hit that peak less than one percent of the time. but by 2019 temperatures across the world sees be that record 57 percent of the time animals like polar pads and what not have a task disappear the best could build but lost by the end of the century. the heat is pushing species such as great white sharks into new waters. this means they other animals like c o 2, causing the decline increases in the heat, the ocean. this is the main cause of coal bleaching bleach. reese more likely to die. the outlet for the ations and the creatures living within them is a troubling one. we're earlier we spoke with vladimir real, meaning he's the executive secretary of the inter governmental oceanographic commission. i think today we reached a milestone,

at least in alerting governments and shown to, to many governance of the other governments are committed to, due to the novel goals 30 by 30, you know, but i would like to say, we have to indeed explain why this is needed that money, protected areas actually are enabling also use of the ocean and then benefiting people benefiting fishers feeding people. so we need to explain the benefits of this. and so that selfish behavior is really not being in this particular situation . on top of that, they have to create an understanding what are the sensitive areas that need to be protected 1st. so this is not just a political game, but really, science based exercise, finding the right place to protect and the right finding the right ways to protect . the australian government has officially listed koala bears as an endangered species that they did. marsupials are threatened by bush fires, land clearance,

and drought conservation is fear that there are now fewer than a $100000.00 left in the why. it was the defining image of australia. bush fires in 2019 corolla encircled by flames. before a quick thinking bystander comes to the rescue. thousands of callers were caught up in that year's devastating fire season. left homeless or treated for dehydration and burns. it was a clarion call for action. so coming out of those fires, i asked my scientific experts to really examine whether the qual, as listing, as you said on the endangered spaces list, needed to live up a notch. and today's announcement is that it has, which is all about priority conservation for this extraordinary marsupial. on top of the fires,

the creatures are threatened by disease. half the population has chlamydia, growing towns and cities to have eaten away at their habitat. the endangered classification means to get more protection under planning laws. conservationist t, it's critical retaken in over 810000 animals and well over 10000 of those are co islas, they're a very specialized creature and an animal that is unfortunately under unprecedented threat. last month, the government announced $43000000.00 euros and additional funding to protect them . we're investing in the world leading science in looking after our kuala populations. and we are also investing heavily in education. so ensure not only the public and understand how they can care, but also importantly, veterinarians, right across the country. environmental groups have welcome the endangered species recognition, but they accused the government of ignoring

a decade of warnings. nonetheless, they hoped less will now be a turning point for these iconic creatures. let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making world news, this our, the death toll in madagascar, from psych loan bad sarah has risen to a 111. the storm level homes and left about 30000 people living in emergency shelters. 8 agencies are worried about supplies of clean drinking water and the risk of water born diseases. and unarmed woman has filed a civil lawsuit accusing the american rapper snoop dog of sexual assault and battery back in 2013. the lawsuit was filed days before the rapper is due to perform at the super bowl halftime show. representatives for the star has not come in on the accusation at the winter olympics, christopher growth hair became germany's 1st gold medalist in the skeleton. now

that's a sport similar to the luge, but one which sees writers plummeting headfirst down an ice track at high speed. germany as long dominated illusion when a clean sweep of gold this year too. but growth, hair stunning performance, which saw him finish streets ahead of compatriot. actual young sees the country extend its influence in the sliding sports illegal battle is now under way of the winter olympics after confirmation that star russian figure skater, camilla valley ava, recently tested positive for doping. earlier this week, she led the russian olympic committees team to go in the team event, but the metal ceremony, it hasn't happened yet. the russian anti doping agency at 1st suspended valley. eva then lifted that suspension and allowed her to compete in beijing. the international olympic committee is now trying to reverse that decision by appealing

to the international court of arbitration for sport. believe us next scheduled event is february 15th, she is favored to win gold in the individual event. if she place are here in berlin, your 1st major international film festival of the year is in full swing after the opening last night. the berlin, ala is now underway, or reporter, the co foolish she is, therefore, is to night. good evening nicole. so tell me what movie caught your attention to night? well, one movie that really stuck with me was not that yellow. i've got yet of those robe of gems. it tells the intertwined stories of 3 women and mexico who against their will get entangled with drug car as hell. and so, of course, a world dominated by men full of brutality in which women are most often the one's picking up the pieces. and the violence is just everywhere, but you don't see it and that makes it so very powerful. and what is remarkable about this movie to is that natalia lopez has never done

a feature film before. she's the only latin american in the running for the golden bear. so you would think that this makes her kind of an underdog, but she has done a lot of editing before she is very critically acclaimed. such she had has added at this movie as well. she's done some acting and some short form directing, and that seems to make her a force to be reckoned with. brenton when you the robe jones, i mean it's not the only competition movie premiering today that is made by women and with women and leading robes. right. exactly it was it of maya is back in berlin with the line le lien and an almost exclusively female cas. we meet a protagonist who has an anger management problem and gets into a heavy fight with her mother is then slammed with a restraining order and is prohibited from getting closer than 100 meters to her mother's home. her sister, a 12 year old then draws

a line marking those 100 meters around the house so she can stay in contact with her sister. it's a beautiful story, poetically told about love about forgiveness, and about isolation. something that we all have grown a bit too accustomed to over the past couple years and it well gives us a take away. that is that children are often the better adults. yeah, you say that again. we see that a lot in this pandemic and briefly what else is coming up at the bill another well, the most highly anticipated movie to day is certainly among the competition movies early zyden, new or grim mini, sat in the seaside resort of a remedy in italy. in the off season there we meet a singer who has said meant that well his best days have come and gone. he's down alcoholic and a gambling addict. and he sleeps with his group is in order to pay for his vices. and the movie was shot before the pandemic, and is almost entirely improvised. and like all over the side of the movies, it shows us in our deepest,

unfulfilled yearnings and shows us the ugly truth without glossing it over with a truly comedic tragedy. a very unique thing that only sy low is, brings to the level so that one as one to watch out for 2 are run to come for. look at the berlin international film festival is always be cool. thank you. you're watching dw news after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day. i hope you can join us with

ah ah, what making the headlines and what's behind them? dw news africa. the show back was the issues shape in the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally on the street to give you enough reports on the inside our correspondence with on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the trends doesn't matter to you. in 60 minutes, calling d w

with 2016, that's a good bunch of the queen casa wants to see if germany with the last few years have been quite a ride, getting early in touch with averted. i look when it comes to gen, the bears, and of course i always look in the eyes, which is, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby at $900.00. on the record. i love to be in the newspapers, americans, but when you're feeling altogether, you'll realize that culture just another way of living. are you ready to meet the dad and then join me, right? just do it on b, w. ah, hello guys. this is the 77 percent the platform for africa. you repeat issues and share ideas you know, or this channel. we are not afraid to happen delicate the tub because population is
