[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is the dublin years live from berlin, german chancellor, olaf shots i joined the procession of world leaders having for kevin moscow as west and ally, step up diplomatic efforts to come. the crisis over ukraine. also on the program. russian figure skater can be like value, i can compete in the women in the olympic women, singles events after she's cleared by sports court of arbitration. so is this the last word in the case here live from a correspondence in beijing?

north america is the busiest border crossing reopened. police arrest protest doesn't clear trucks taking part in a week long demonstration against co b. 19 restrictions. the canadian capitals business district remains great lot and turkish mother taking on the u. s. government and the clandestine network providing a fortunes in 1960. so america, with an international film festival gets political, putting women's rights and fights front unset ah, i'm show, go welcome to the program. 7 chance of olaf sholtes had to the ukrainian capital gift. today i made growing can concerns about an imminent russian invasion is expected to offer ukraine more economic support, but no weapons is visit comes as our see staff fall out of the east and revel

health, city of the net western intelligence sources. same rationale has more than a 100000 troops on ukraine's borders. on tuesday, mister schultz will travel to moscow to urge vladimir putin to deescalate the crisis and t w's at nick connelly takes a look at the challenges facing the german chancellor. on today's visit. germany's new chancellor is going to cave at a time of unprecedented tensions not just between ukraine in russia, but also between friends. with cave, accusing berlin of sitting on the fence. ukraine prepared its bomb shelters before an embassies evacuate their staff. berlin's refusal to follow the lead taken by the u. s. in supplying ukraine. defensive weapons is key of number one, complaint where other countries are provided and to tank missiles, ammunition, germany, his offer to sent 5000 helmets and announcement to provoked amusement and anger in equal measure young,

but i hope germany never has to go through what we are going through right now, hold of it never has to feel what we are feeling. so mitchell, i am only, but if the situation were reversed, we would help you. yes, i would. there my foot, not underwater. this gas pipeline between russia and germany. nostrand too, is the other major point of contention. the pipeline is complete, but is yet to be commissioned. ukraine hopes ever will be granted the pipeline would allow russia supplied gas customers, western europe, without the need for ukraine's pipeline network, allowing the kremlin to destabilize ukraine. ukraine wants it cancelled immediately, as a preemptive, sanctioned sir moscow that the west means business. well, berlin refuses to spell out in public. what exactly it would do if russia were to invade. berlin calls it tactical ambiguity key of spect, germany of trying to salvage a lucrative business project. regardless of the security implications, with no sign for now,

that germany is willing to give any ground either on weapons for a mock pulling all stream to olive shoals has his work cut out to convince his ukrainian host that he has their interests at heart. that they can trust him to negotiate away at this crisis when he goes to moscow. oh, they'd only cause one a. nick conley filed that report. he joins us now from the ukrainian capital. welcome, nick. so what can olaf shouts do to regain jeff's trust? well, phil, i think the only thing he can really often we've heard signals from the german government yesterday that this might be on the calls is offer money. this is, after all, a very expensive a difficult situation for ukraine's economy even without a single bullet being fired. we've already seen the ukraine currency coming under a lot of pressure central bank having to spend money to profit the profit up investors are cancelling all putting in various plans, investments on ice, a real sense here the ukrainians might start taking all that money out of the banks being to run on the bank, so any kind of finish sport would be very welcome right now. whether or not it will

be enough to regain that trust. m, after pretty bruising few weeks for ties between germany and ukraine, over that perceived lack of empathy. here in germany for the situation here for ukraine's her fears and its position. it's not really clear, but it's definitely the 1st attempt. this is going to be a little 1st visit to give an attempt or $1.00 to $1.00 in person to try and rebuild that for us. and germany is one of a number of western governments. they're telling the people to leave you crane. how's that going down there? not just that the government's role. so pulling down, pulling out a diplomatic staff, drawing down the presence in their institutions here in care of and that really cut through with audrey ukrainians in a way that i think lots of the bigger new stories. the u. s. intelligence briefings about potential russian plans for full slag operations or attempt to create some kind of pretext for an intervention. those went over most people's heads, but seeing

a diplomat skewing at the airport to leave the country that really has spooked lots people, especially now flights getting cancelled. got sale on saying they think it's not safe to fly here. i'm just say i talked to ukrainians out on the streets of care and asked and asked them how they were feeling what their plans were. we have a lot of this information with we don't know who we need to trust people. it's own that said the russia will start like on monday or tuesday as far as i remember. yes. but i don't know what it would be here. so hopefully everything will differ unless i don't know what it would be. i believe that everything will be okay and i can stay here for now and maybe for something the maybe i will go somewhere to live. it goes to the bowlens i action. don't know what to do. i. i wait for the, for some news and i just wait,

i don't know so many stuff is going on. so you can hear that you hear their from people here in care of and attempt to stay calm and positive but a lot of confusion uncertainty. what lies ahead, lots of ukrainians will tell you that they have bags packed with money, clothes, and documents in case they need to go to hurry and lots people. now the last few days. finally, really ask themselves if they're going to need to take those cases and leave nick connelly in care. thank you. let's get the germans perspective now from d. w. political correspondent in need hasn't welcome nina. so let's, let's start with that question of trust. what can chance of a sholtes realistically offer ukraine or indeed russia in order to help resolve this crisis? well, nick has already mentioned this dual track approach. so that strategic ambiguity and germany still believes in that. so keep negotiating,

but also make it clear that aggression would come at a very high price for russia, and that, that would be severe consequences. both of foreign minister and alina book and the chancellor will have shows have now said prior to shorts is trip that they consider the situation to be extremely dangerous. but barbara has said that there are no signs yet that there has been a decision yet to actually get involved in the military conflict. and that's where germany's view differ somewhat from that of some of its allies. so germany's position is still war can still be avoided, which is why they're still stressing that talks must continue. germany is trying everything it can to keep russia at the negotiating table. and of course, now germany wants to talk about de escalation more transparency on both sides. nichol also mentioned the question of a given key of some money. but an interesting question will be, for example, where the gemini can help revive the minsk agreement process. and that is the deal struck off to the invasion of crimea, and that's essentially what germany has to offer both to keep and moscow help manage the crisis. right?

i'm explain to was why germany is taking such a cautious approach to a potential on its own doorstep when it's far away alive. united states has been much more vocal about this well, precisely for that reason that ukraine is essentially on berlin store steps. there are also, of course, historic reasons why germans are very close if, when it comes to the issue of war and going to war. but we'll have. so i said yesterday that the current situation and months, a very, very serious threat of peace in europe to notice in ukraine. but in europe, many here in berlin are worried that if diplomatic efforts to avoid war fail, ukraine could only be the stocks and that vladimir putin would not stop there and that he would actually target other former soviet republics. next, like the baltic states and they are of course, members of the european union, a native. so there you're talking about the different scenario. and then there's also a certain amount of

a when's that europe has to find its own path forward simply because of its to your political position. and it has to coordinate its strategy with its allies like the u. s. yes, but also make it clear that continental europe has to defend its own interests and stands a lot more to lose than the u. s. thank you for that date of the politics are corresponded in a honda russian figure skater camila camila value eva at will be allowed to compete of the beijing olympics following a decision or the court of arbitration for sport. a 15 year old help the russians that when the team event last week, but then reports of a positive doping test for a hot medication from december, emerged by the court rule that van eva should not be provisionally suspended ahead of a full hearing into the case just favorite to win gold at the women's individual event, which takes place tomorrow as get more from d. w. sports correspondent to johnson crane,

who's in beijing. welcome jonathan. so just 1st of all, explain the court ruling to us. well essentially the court had to balance 2 things. one is the integrity of competition. if it turns out that ava is guilty of doping, how would it damage that integrity? but the other thing is, had to weigh up is the fairness on valley. eva, she is 15 years old as such, she's a protected person under anti doping rules, and that means that she is entitled to less harsha and punishments. and essentially the court said, look, a fatty eva wasn't allowed to compete. and it turns out later that she isn't guilty of de pig then that would cause her personally significant hom. now, the court also said it was unacceptable, but it took 6 weeks for this set, positive doping test to come to light. that clearly is not valid davis for what is not her fault, that this is overshadowed her limpid games. now we had a press conference today from the court of arbitration for support. there were no

questions, but this is what the general secretary matea rep said in a statement. the panel considered fundamental principles of fairness, irreparable harm, and the relative balance of interest as between the applicants and the athlete who did not test positive during the olympic games in beijing, but is still subject to a disciplinary procedure on the merits. following hope was active antidote being dest undergoing in december 2021. in particular, the panel considered that preventing the athlete to compete olympic games would cause her irreparable harm in these circumstances. so, don't claim this is not half done and dusted. there are still lots of uncertainties yet indeed, while we're going to see fatty ava compete now in the sense out saying she's an incredible talent. she was the 1st woman to lodge a quadruple jump in competition. not just once,

but twice. the court hasn't ruled whether she is guilty of doping or not, that will probably come at a later stage because by the eva is entitled to have her be sound protested. that is effectively a back up sample. that would confirm whether the 1st test that was indeed positive . now the i o c wanted everything done and just it now they wanted that to be heard as well. but say one of the parties didn't agree. we can only assume that was the russian side. so it may well be to valley eva comes away from beijing with to go meadows to her name. she is a heavy favorite to win gold in the individual event, and yet be stripped to those gold medals at a later date. i know you mentioned a commuter valley, eva is only 15. so what does this control was to tell us about the adults advising her? yes, of course. i mean we said again, we mustn't forget that she is 15 years old. so even if she did don't, there are question marks about whether she would be solely responsible for that. clearly, she puts a lot of trust in the people around her beer. her coaches,

a team advises doctors, now was that the world on he doping agency has said it will investigate her entourage. there are kind of echoes here, aren't there if of east germany in the typing regime, there were young athletes were given, banned substances dressed up as victims. now, whatever happens again, russian typing has come into the spotlight. the whole reason, one of the reasons russia's band was caught was to protect a younger generation of athletes and allow them to compete. so there was a certain irony in the fact that it is a young athlete now at a sense of another type in controversy is a very messy situation around. think about jonathan, jonathan craig, in beijing. it's got a round of thought for us more headlines making that world news at this hour. thousands of people have rallied in the tune is in a capital against that moved by president k said to give himself sweeping powers of the judiciary is presidential decree, scrapped a judicial watchdog,

and gave himself the ability to block appointments and dismissed judges protested. accuse him of undermining democracy, thousands of unvaccinated health care workers of months, or the greek capital, athens demanding the government allowed them to return to work without being vaccinated. vaccine mandate for health workers means those who have, who, who have not had least one dose will face a suspension without pay. dozens of migrants have been rescued off the coast of italy after trying to cross the mediterranean and picked up by coast guard rescue vessels and take it to the island of lam, producer. several people are still unaccounted for. leasing canada have broken up protests against corona vidas restrictions which have been blocking. i'm important trade route with the u. s. a blockade of cars and trucks had stopped the flow of commerce across the ambassador bridge. it's north. america's busiest border crossing. demonstrate is at a lodge, a protest, still occupying parts of the canadian capital ottawa,

to the annoyance of local residence. after a week long stand off at the ambassador bridge policed in windsor. ontario have arrested dozens of protesters and cleared away vehicles that had blocked the vital highway. i'm frustrated that were on day 7 of this. i mean this, i could have told you from the 1st hour that this is not going to end well, unless we get in there and cut the, the head off the snake very, very quickly. this is a crucial order cross. and we're talking about $400000000.00 a day that crosses at this one border crossing. so the financial impact, you know, to now is, is nearing $3000000000.00 international economy. that's huge. the situation in canada's capital ottawa remains far from resolved trucks block the city center and protesters camp out in front of parliament. residents have had enough. you're not free to go anywhere you want your city. i mean,

there's an illegal occupation happening there. the rule of law doesn't exist a few blocks away. and so, i mean it's, i guess it's intimidating. police had been reluctant to clear out protesters as long as there are children with them. oh, well there's children here and unfortunately parents are using their children. and so i don't know the police is really tough situation for the police because i know violence. it should not happen. so and i, i had to police are normally tough situation. candidates. prime minister justin shadow has told protesters, it's time to go home. they don't seem to be listening to a german present. frank welter steinway has been re elected for a 2nd term and a special parliamentary assembly held on sunday. he received more than 2 thirds of votes and retain the largely ceremonial position. a form of foreign minister promised to fight for democracy and appeal to russia to ease tensions with your

cray. it's philip. i declare thus that doctor stein, my aunt, i am has received the required majority and has thereby been elected from one to president of the federal republic of germany, of the german president for a 2nd term, a compared to 5 years ago. thankful to shine my as reelection looked a little different. it didn't take place in the parliamentary chamber, but in the halls outside, where the voiding was organized this year because of covert 19 and stain my a 2nd term begins and turbulent times. as he warned that russia could trigger a war at any time. nicholas guardian. and this can not be disputed. agatha, there is a risk of a military conflict of a war in eastern europe her on russia,

bears the responsibility for this. and was once russians troop deployment cannot be misunderstood. it is a threat to ukraine and it should be seen as that goes on. but people there have a right to live without fear and threat, like a right to self determination and sovereignty of that the stimulants of or in our country in the world has the right to destroy this dust or stone and to whoever tries to do. so. we will answer decisively and this is alicia nick stein my, you're about to continue strengthening democracy in germany. seeing that growing unrest during the pandemic showed the need to defend it. about dean and he of what are those who open wounds and who spread hatred and lies during these distressing times of the pandemic? or not. who talk about coven dictatorship and don't even stop at threats and violence against police women, nurses, or mayors to their my say,

i am here that and i will stay, it's been here, is blither. is that as german president, i will not shy away from the debate o'clock because without discussion there can be no democracy. i but there is a red line and it stops at hate and violence hasn't devote when diesel waddlington listened to hope. didn't love them more than a 1400 people to part in the vote, members of parliament and representatives of germany, 16 states. the result was never in doubt with most mainstream parties back in shine myers reelection. he will now represent germany for another 5 years, addressing the tensions in europe's east. the consequences of the pandemic and what he called the biggest issue of our time climate change done and berlin, ala has made a name as the most political of all the major international film festivals. after a lukewarm started beginning to live up to that reputation over the weekend,

the competition put women front and center, focusing the limelight on the fight for their rights and those of us others. bobby corners is a woman on a mission. one that might seem impossible that we'll see her take on the u. s. government. and when and last reasons movie robbie a corn us versus george w bush tells a romanticized version of a true story. that of a german turkish mother seeking justice for her son moved that innocently detained in guantanamo from an in guantanamo zits. as to when you're detained in guantanamo this no perspective kind of off in august, no hopeful, it's kafka, ask look. and so i was lucky to maint mirage, mother revere anna, and enchanting, wonderful, cheerful woman who is also funny labels full or not, or to whom or for the fall met him captain,

brings all those adjectives to life. and it's her stellar performance that turns this story of david and goliath into a hard warming tale about the boundless power of motherly love. phyllis nod cinematic directing debut call. jane introduces us to a clandestine women's network. providing safe abortions in 1960 s, chicago, a distant past one might believe. i think women's rights in the united states are talking about. they have not moved on one bit since the events of that film. and it's something again we, we touch on at the end of call jane, you know, hey, let's go get equal pay. yeah, you'll be waiting until where long dead for that mikhail arrest drama. the passengers of the night uses politics as a means of triggering our collect of memory. shallow gains boom portrays elizabeth,

whose life changes drastically around the time form. swami dead all is elected president of france. she's a very ordinary woman. that's what i to back and she's going through a woman of her age left by her husband or children having to find a job. mm hm. just very basic things. it was okay. forced to reinvent herself. the film follows elizabeth in her years of transformation from broken spirit to lie ins against all odd ocean and before the end of mitchell's presidency. lots of political undertones this weekend at the belly, nala and, except for rudy ponds everything will be okay. most competition movies went about it without wagging the finger, without preaching, especially the films with leading women. those were much more about perseverance, about emancipation and about the people,

men or women who lift us up. and many premieres left the viewers with a sense that passivity is no longer an option. and that change can often only happen if we take matters into our own hands. the golf relish reports and sport a thousands of american football fans packed out the u. s. super bowl to see the los angeles rams. b. the cincinnati bengals 2320 cooper cup score. 2 touchdowns. and aaron, donal spearheaded, a fearsome defensive display. cups got a decisive touch down with just one minute. 25 seconds remaining, giving the rams the lea before the donald before donald a. grab the rams. a record breaking 8 sack of bangles quarterback. joe borrow the steel block. buster victory fans from around the united states streamed into allies . so 5 stadium for the big game, where for the 1st time in 2 years, there were no attendance restrictions. it was also plenty of interest in the off field, entertainment, snoop dog, doctor drayton, surprise, guest,

but recent history says dormant i never safe when expected to win even after rata gretel made at 3. the tension remained for the dormant coach wondering who was going to show them how to defend a lead. their inspiration came from an unlikely source. kevin move out, smashed in a header to fright. dot minerva the home side on the old school school board before the referee. emerged as the key man at the helm of new technology. the goal was ruled out, dockman was safe and against all expectation would leave berlin closer to bion and on good terms with some very happy fence. is reminder of our top story at this hour. german chancellor, allah shots is on his way to the ukrainian capital care for the growing concerns about an imminent russian invasion. it's expected to offer ukraine war, echo nomics of thought, but no weapons as it comes as our see staff of out of the eastern rebel health,
