ah, ah ah, this is you that we news live from berlin, crisis talks to avert war in eastern europe. before he had to moscow, germany's olaf schultz tells ukraine's president. germany stands firmly with keith . this, as russia's military stands, poised on the ukraine border. also on the program, the shadow of a positive drug test looms over russia. star figure skater young camilla oliva will be allowed to compete in the olympic womens singles events but left not the last

word on this case. and women are front and center as the most political of all the major film festivals, their belly, nala will go live to the event. ah, i'm lam hi. thank you so much for joining us. german chancellor, olaf shorts and ukrainian president of a lot of years. the landscape have held crisis talks in key for over the mounting threats of a russian invasion of ukraine transfer. schoultz assured his ukranian counterpart of germany's continued support as at the west is ready for serious dialogue with russia over security matters. the chancellor is set to fly to moscow. next were talks with president vladimir putin. he had a clear warning for his next host about the consequences of any military act

against you. great. is my hint. kiff though i'm up here and live. i am once again making clear ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity are non negotiable for germany. therefore, we expect clear steps from russia to deescalate current tensions. he has come to. the german government is clear that further military aggression against ukraine would have serious political, economic, and geostrategic consequences for russia. i will emphasize that to morrow in moscow to afford it. does fetish moral in moscow dislike the german chancellor there speaking moments ago dw chief political editor, mikaela christner is travelling with the german chance that we can go to her now in the ukrainian capital mikaela, the german chancellor again offering diplomatic aid to little too late time will tell em of, we are seeing some signals already coming out of moscow. not necessarily related to

this meeting here today, but it clearly german chancellor, all i saw had said we know what to do. and it appears that moscow understands that the west has coordinates, a coordinated itself to a degree that there could be some swift responds because we're hearing that vladimir putin and sagel over off his foreign minister came out to day and said that there may be a chance for further talk talks, and that's exactly what, what amusing lensky, ukrainian present and dimensions it would have. so it's in this building behind me, the residence of the president we're talking about today that there needs to be a diplomatic process that it's worth going the extra mile and continuing the talks . so some potential silver lining on the horizon that am making clear that everybody is on the same page when it comes to sanctions may pay off. at the same time, there were some mixed signals over nato membership after ukraine's ambassador had

been misinterpreted. as it is being said here, that ukraine may not insist on wanting to join nato, or that something that amuses lensky said he definitely still wants to pursue that . and console f salt said, well that's not really a current issue anyway, because legally ukraine couldn't join with that and still remaining conflict area with russia over the annexation of crimea. so very complex here, but a clear message from german chancellor. so it's that we, as in the west know what to do if bloody bruton vladimir putin for real crosses that border launches any other attack. how has that message been received by his host the ukrainians? well, he's thankful he said, for the support to buy germany. although there is continuing criticism over the fact that germany will not deliver arms to ukraine, there's really no sign that that will change any time soon. although there now is

a list that dummies looking at whether they can deliver other equipment in a military context like m ignite vision equipment, that kind of thing. and that is ongoing coordination and dummies also pledged an extra 150000000 in loans here. so the germans, that didn't come and empty handed, some recognition amongst a lot of criticism for germany. he asked people here on the streets at that it, dominic is indeed certainly economically and politically standing by the side of ukraine. next, stop moscow, mikayla, where as chancellor schultz will meet with the russian president, president putin. what will he try to avoid doing? but start with that. he will try and avoid coming into a situation where vladimir putin says something like he did after the visit by a french present man. who am i call saying that this was not the format to find any kind of solution i've been traveling with the chance today. his advisors are being

considerably how can i say modest about their expectations? what can be achieved by germany alone, by their chance alone in moscow? and the german perspective is that a continuation of talks is already a success in itself. if those gloom and doom predictions don't become reality that already this week, potentially even wednesday, there could be an attack. so, and there is a search for continuous threads of dialogue using all formats. and while at the same time sending the signal to moscow that yes indeed, if they want talks for real meaningful talks that germany, europe, the west remains committed to sit down and talk about what that could mean as an outcome in the end. as long as there is no crossing of that red line, meaning the territorial integrity of ukraine, being violet violated once again, one has to say, by russia final foss, 20 seconds. is there

a sense that president is prepared to cut a deal with germany? that you wouldn't cut a deal with germany, it's it. germany is not the player. he would want to cut a deal where it's become wanting is become clear, is that he wants to be at eye level with the united states. us present bite is picked up the phone to him a couple of times now, so he's already achieved that goal. what the outcome will be is on a completely different page, and that may still take quite a bit of time that of your typical editor mio, electric, nor reporting from keith ukraine. thank you. and much as tom diplomats foreign minister sergey la ralph has said he still sees a chance for agreement with the west over ukraine. but mister lab, ralph told president vladimir putin in a televised meeting that he didn't think the talking should go on. endlessly beast

shuns the good it. is there a chance to reach an agreement with our partners on key issues from not resolution liberals the book we've gotten or is it an attempt to drag us into an endless negotiation process? will you scoot, lou? we can't allow endless conversations about resolving issues that need to be resolved today. but as head of the foreign ministry, i must say that there is always a chance of us, the sounds used and that was the year russian foreign minister, speaking of their a powerful flag and how are, is, and alice specializing in the russian military. and he's based in moscow, russia, sir, thank you for joining dw news. we just heard there are from the russian foreign minister saying it's still not too late to get back to the negotiating table. the president has clearly said, diplomacy is a finite reality on the ground. suggest that tensions are not diffusing. the build

up is continuing and russian build up is not being reversed. so are they saying one thing and doing something else? well actually know you not totally incorrectly interpret what puts in and well for off we're talking about they were not talking about ukraine or just about ukraine. they're talking about the whole issue of the confrontation between russia and the west, and russia and united states. and the 3rd, the situation is very serious, and actually we are moving into the territory where there can be direct american, russian military skirmishes. actually they're already beginning which could lead to a direct russia, american war going nuclear very quickly. so we're in a much more dangerous situation just simply about what's happening with ukraine and

much more serious situation. a does feel like a very tenuous, a. com is, is a, is the wrong word. i mean, there's so much tension in the air before where it is, looks like a storm on this looming threat of military conflict. is that something that you see unfolding in the next couple of days? so the russian military right now are at a super heightened, state of readiness of deploy didn't do a field little kind of battle station positions and not around ukraine only, not exclusively, but also another parts, including the strategic mo, new queer forces. and there was a skirmish, and in the close to the courier islands between the numbers reported were an american virginia class submarine. and the russian and the submarine ship, another anti submarine assets. and that's very, very serious, because russia says that this is an incursion in terra rushing territorial waters.

but the problem is that brush claims the entire sea of a horse goes in directory, a water switch. the west does not recognize. and the sea of a horse is the so called best, the m a fortress where russian strategic nuclear submarines patrol and hide. and from there they should shoot their ballistic willis, as with nuclear warheads, that the united states and they are, they are guarded by a lot of assets against american attack submarines. this is their reply capability . so the, there could be a skirmishes there are, there could be orders given if the read deaf con goes a good begins. the american begin to div grease the death khan into a war position. i think the american commanders could be given orders to shoot, but i said, are russians? yes, sir, what we're seeing. clearly russia product, same military drills went belly room since last week. what we're seeing is over 100000 troops in russia close to the border with ukraine. ukraine is advising

airlines not to fly over the black sea due to russian naval exercises. there it is not the us that is par strain here. it is russia that is so when i'm trying to understand that you are a military expert, if the diplomacy does not prevail, could we really see the 21st century here in europe, a hot war? there is the hudson possibility that there could be military escalation between the russian in the dung boss or on the russian ukrainian bordner. though not between the ro, russia, i mean morose in ukraine, of the ears, parts of cold police, yet they are momentarily practically on possible. but of course there could be air and missile shoots over that police yet. but other parts of the ukrainian or border could turn into a front line. but of course they are no basically americans. they are so a confrontation between russia and say, ukraine is very bad, very dangerous,

but doesn't weak directory do or o european or robot war. a confrontation between russia, naval ships and submarines in the mediterranean, in the barents sea, or in the sea of a hotspot where right now they're deployed to get to it in big numbers. and of course the americans are deploying there too. that could lead directly to a new are actually our global world war, the each of the understand that the situation is much more dangerous than you actually imagine it. well, i mean, i think everybody's taking it very, very seriously. and that, that is why there is such a diplomatic, intense diplomatic efforts that are underway. of course, you know, what i understand from your answers is that you feel that in some sense, war is inevitable. but war, as you know, is incredibly expensive. it's unappealing. the world today is very in the interdependent and interconnected, what really is in it for russia. no,

russia has time and again and goodly president, putin and he is lieutenant sir, said the crash has no intention to invade any country that any one. but as they like to say in the eighty's and seventy's and they go headquarters in brussels and tensions can change overnight, actually they can change in an hour. lots important not intentions as they are declared, but capabilities. the capabilities right now that russia has the boy, this a, put its entire military machine on toto readiness. top top total radio missed to go. that's very, very dangerous because that means the keep ability to go to war are present. the good news is that this crisis will over blow somehow. very soon in the coming week may be due, there should be a decision to either a go or beat to begin deescalate, and you can't actually keep. the higher the state of readiness back already is that

the russian military are but much longer than couple of weeks, you have to begin to deescalate or you go to war. i don't know what it's going to be. no one actually knows that even the american intelligence apparently does not know that decision will be taken in the credible paval flag. and how are russian military alice based and moscow? russia, thank you for talking to us. thank you very well. the 1st contingent of a german trooper reinforcements have arrived in lithuania to bolster security in the region. as fears of a russian attack on ukraine intensified, the german defense ministry said it would send $350.00 additional soldiers to shore up nato's eastern flank. in recent months, moscow has mast 100000 troops on its border with ukraine. the west has worn to moscow, could launch an invasion at any moment. and here are

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 the film. and it's something again we, we touch on at the end of the call jane, you know, hey, let's go get equal pay. yeah, you'll be waiting. and where long did for that me k, it eris drama. the passengers of the night uses politics as a means of triggering our collective memory shuttle up gains boom, portrays elizabeth, whose life changes drastically around the time phones swami. 10 all is elected president of france. she's a very ordinary woman. that's what i loved about her. and she's going through what

it's filmed with extremely long pauses. and the 1st selection that we took a look at is called a year and a day and a follows the this young couple saline and ramon as they try to recover from the trauma of the terrorist attack at the batter. claun theater in paris in 2015. and so it goes back and forth between, between what happened that day and also how they're trying to live and, and go on and ramon is very stuck. he needs to talk about things regularly. and it frustrates his partner celine who just wants to suppress things and put it behind her. so we see this going back and forth and how it test their relationship. it also take to look at how racism and somehow how racism sometimes plays a factor, a role in how people look at different things,

for example. so this story with ramon was the police were pushing him to say that an arab person did this, you know, and so so there it's, there's a little bit of that kind of interplay as well as stacy some more easy viewing on there is i'm talking incredibly rig film says in the alps that apparently brought berlin audiences to tears. tell us about that. yes, this was so sad, so powerful, but it took a long time to get there. it was slow. the beginning was like 45 seconds of just looking at a rock and i'm not kidding. and i thought, i'm not going to make it to the end of this movie. but he got, it became really powerful. it's called a piece of the sky. and it's a swiss german, a co production, and it's written and directed by mchale call. and it tells the story of

this young couple. right, right before they got married is where the story line picks up. and i see the man marco, he suffers from a tumor and it changes his personality. and you see how his partner anna has to struggle with this, protect her daughter from him. so there was a really disturbing scene with that. and so it looks at how love sometimes isn't enough and how loyalty is sometimes hard to give. so it was a very powerful movie. you have to see it and bring tissues. bring tissues are i looking forward to hearing so much from you? is facing the coming days. happy valentine's day stacy prevents reporting from the belin. allah! fake a lovely and is february 14th a day when much of the world celebrates the power of love from secretly sent cards
