western intelligence sources say russia now has more than a $100000.00 troops on ukraine's orders to more of the chancellor will travel to moscow to urge the russian president to deescalate the crisis d. w correspondent, nick conley reports on the challenges facing the german chancellor. on today's visit to care. germany's new chancellor is going to keep at a time of unprecedented tensions, not just between ukraine, russia, but also between friends. with cave accusing berlin of sitting on the fence, ukraine prepared its bomb shelters before an embassies evacuate nest of 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. an announcement, the provoked amusement and anger in equal measure. your name,

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. they might push up under water. 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, watts, it cancelled immediately as a preemptive, sanctioned sir moscow that the west means business. while 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 no 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. i'll d w cause wanted nick conley filed that report. he joins us now from the ukrainian that 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 crane courtesy coming under a lot of pressure of central bank having to spend money to profit profit up. investors are cancelling or putting in very plans, investments on ice and a real sense here the ukrainians might start taking all that money out of the banks being to run on the bank so any can affect sport would be very welcome right now.

whether or not it will be enough to regain that trust 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 you crane's 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 $1.00 to $1.00 in person to try and rebuild that for us. and germany is one of a number of western governments that telling that people to leave ukraine. how's that going down there? not just that the government's role. so pulling down, pulling out a to politic staff, drawing down the presence in their institutions here in care of and that really cut through with ordinary ukrainians in a way that i think lots of the bigger new stories. the u. s. intelligence briefings about potential russian plans for full flag operations or attempt to create some kind of projects for an intervention. those went over most people's heads, but seeing

a diplomats queuing at the airport to leave the country. and that really has spooked most people, especially now flights getting cancelled hotel on saying they think it's not safe to fly here. i'm guess 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 had a lot of this information. we don't know who in the process people on that said the rush of all stars 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 defend us. i don't know if it'll be. i believe that the every single day. okay. and they stay here for now and maybe for something they leave, maybe i will go somewhere to live. it goes it. does it bowlens? i don't know what to do. i, i wait for the, for some news, and i just,

i don't know so many stuff is going on so you can hear that you hear there from people here in care of an 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 and 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 and nina hasn't welcome, nina. so let's, let's start with that question of trust. what can chancellor sholtes realistically offer? you cried, 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 babble and the chancellor will have shows, have now said prior to shots 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 rusher at the negotiating table. and of course, now germany wants to talk about de escalation more transparency on both sides. nicholas also mentioned the question of a given key of some money. but an interesting question will be, for example, with a gemini, can help revive the minsk agreement process. and that is the deal struck after 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 war 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 balance doorsteps. there are also, of course, historic reasons why germans are very cautious when it comes to the issue of war and going to war. but we'll have so it said yesterday that the current situation and months are very, very serious, threat of peace in europe to not us 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 a completely 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 geo

political and 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. the debris politics are correspondingly in a hotter let's take a look at small stories making headlines around the world. thousands of people have rallied in the tunisian capital against moves by president case said to give himself sweeping powers over the judiciary. presidential decrease, grabbed a judicial watchdog and gave himself the ability to block appointments and dismissed judges. protesters accuse him of undermining democracy, thousands of unvaccinated health care workers of march through the greek capital, athens demanding the government allowed them to return to work without being vaccinate vaccine. mandate for health workers means those who not had at least one

dose, will faced suspension without pay. dozens of migrants have been rescued off the coast of italy after trying to cross the mediterranean sea. they were picked up by coast guard rescued vessels and taken to the island of lam, producer. several people are still accounted for to canada, where police have broken up protests against corona virus restrictions which had been blocking unimportant route, trade route into the u. s. a blockade of trucks and cars had stopped the flow of commerce across the ambassador bridge. north america's busiest border crossing, but demonstrators at a larger protest, a still occupying parts of the canadian capital ottawa, to the annoyance of local residents. after a week long stand off at the ambassador bridge police 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, 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 on our national 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 in. unfortunately, parents are using their children. um,

so i don't know the place 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. 1230, a russian figure, skating star, camila valley ava can compete at the paging olympics. this follows a decision by the court of arbitration, a sport, a 15 year old to help the russian. so when the team event last week, then reports of positive doping test for a hot medication from december emerged the chord rule that valley eva should not be provisionally suspended ahead of a full hearing into her case. she's favorite to win gold at the women's individual

event, which takes place tomorrow. let's 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 but 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 that sets away up is the fairness on valley. eva, she is 15 years old. i sat, she's a protected person under anti typing 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 pay, 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 valuable for what is not her fault, that this is overshadowed her lim, pick 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 reb said in a statement. the panell 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 her positive anti doping test undergoing in december 2021. in particular, the panel considered that preventing the athlete to compete at the 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. indeed while we're going to see fatty eva compete now and there's no doubting she's an incredible talent, she was the 1st woman to land,

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, have 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. warranted everything done invested now they wanted that to be heard as well. but so one of the parties didn't agree we can only assume that was the russian side. so it may well be the 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 oscillator dates. and as you mentioned, a commute of alpha 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 on their of, of east germany and the taping regime there where young athletes were given, banned substances dressed up as victims. now, whatever happens again, russian doping has come into the spotlight. the whole reason, one of the reasons russia's ban was caught was to protect a younger generation of athletes and allow them to compete. so there was a st irony in the fact that it is a young athlete now at the center of another type in controversy is a very messy situation around. think about jonathan, jonathan crane in beijing. thousands of american football fans packed out the us super bowl to see the los angeles rams. b, the cincinnati bengals 2320 cooper cup scored 2 touchdowns. and aaron donald spearheaded a fearsome defensive display cub score the decisive touch down with just one minute

25 seconds remaining. given the brands the lead before donald, grab the rams record. breaking 8 sack of bangles quarterback job borrow. to see in a blockbuster victory fans from around the united states streamed into a laser. so 5 stadium for the big game, where for the 1st time in 2 years, there were no attendance restrictions, was also plenty of interest in the off field entertainment. so dogged off the dre and surprise guest, 50 cent headline, half time show long with mary j. blige. kennedy lamar and emma are in football. the bonded league, a title race between brazil dormant and by and munich is getting tighter. the writing champions left the door open by losing to bow home and then dormant took 3 points against union ballad on the edge of the forest on the edge of berlin is where football made fashion and we hope mates,

expectation dockman hope to close the gap on by munich, most football fans had little expectation. they would rise to the occasion. scoring owls is never their problem. mca royce got the ball rolling, fitting it through the legs of the keeper for one mill. 6 minutes later the captain was assisted by marlyn. he took out the defender before royce, took out the keeper to kneel at half time, but recent history says dormant i never safe when expected to win even after rata guerrero made at 3. the tension remained for the dockman 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 fry dought minerva the home side on the old school school board before the referee. emerged as the key man at the helm, new technology to go with ruled out dockman was safe, and against all expectation. would leave berlin closer to bion and

on good terms, with some very happy things. okay, the year bell and allah has made a name as the most political of all the major international film festivals. now, after a lukewarm started beginning to live up to that reputation over the weekend, the competition put women up front and center, focusing the limelight on the fight for their rights. and those of us bobby corners is a woman on a mission. one that might seem impossible that'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 marat's mother revere anna, an enchanting, wonderful, cheerful woman who is also funny labels full or not. that's who, whom offered of whole 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 pass and she's going to a woman of her age. i left my husband with mine and john, just very basic things. it was okay. forced to reinvent herself. the film follows elizabeth in her years of transformation from broken spirits to lie ins against all our notion 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 of yours. 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. a gulf relish now to nigeria, where an illustrator is working to change racial bias in medical training and education. recent, your study found that had some medical books, only 4 percent of images show people with black skin w, west africa correspondent flourished quorra. i meant to she did. she did bare ebay to find out more this is ms garcia versus he's teaching hospital

generations of dr. laws and save all kinds of medic, half studies here. and this is one of the books that they use. it's a span that text book. you'll write sectionals today's all around the world. and if you flip through the pages, it's very easy to see that most of the illustrations here are just of white skin is almost i see a black people don't have a pre shows or don't have babies. and so yeah, one really challenge that i met with one man who not only challenged is what is doing something about this. she did berry e, b, d, deceased. his illustration of a black fetus went viral. people around the world realised they had never seen themselves represented that his picture turned into much more than drawings and more like a voice speaking out for the black community. they know how to understand. i

destroy was more than just a medical official and what it was a message of hope to do to, to the black community. and then i said, for me, knowing these drugs are no longer a passion, what the purpose for me. so, i mean, i had to torn from being different lo street or to be an advocate. a little patient has the means as news because disney lack of representation, medical literature, for example, some skin conditional represent differently on the blocking than iis on i cities on, on white skin. and has led to a lot of muse deadness on, on the side of the doctor because he or she had no experience or how can with technical new how, when, how to that new, just keep going on on the block vision. and just wondering where a potential matter, because if we walk towards including more diverse joint medical, says medical student and trinity more exposed to dis, drawings, and would have an experience in treating patients. e bay has been inundated with reactions from black communities around the world. we showed his pictures to

medical students here in lagos. yes. africa? yes. the melanie was of the clint alcorda shows me see in textbooks, a dreadful white people raise up with the rushes you talked about in white valley pink. so then if i go to the hospital, if i stop my clinicals on my be looking for pink roch's, why is not pink in black people. so i feel this and many more medical conditions related to block watch. i'd agree, long range, medical cookies, dsl in africa. so once we start using our black people, once we see is going out in was irrelevant. this will do, will be like a difference between what to read not is, whoop. our to us in arg was another love to, to actually her post, like on the founded written since he best picture went viral. he says several publishers have commissioned him to draw more black medical illustration. he says he plans to publish his own textbook on skin conditions in black people and wants

to set up a training school for other african medical illustrators. good looks. i'm not set you up today small world. busy news at the top of a our next here on the w sports life looks at why football is hiding uncomfortable tricks. i'm good with with
