athletes i view of life within the tightly controlled team accommodation at the beijing game. ah. hello there, i'm really mohammed. we start with the latest on the crisis over ukraine. the criminal has signaled that it's ready to keep talking to the west, raising hopes that an invasion might not be just days away as the u. s. has warned . washington is still sounding the alarm or the world leaders are trying to reach a peaceful resolution. and germany's chancellor left shoals is heading to moscow for talks with the russian president as russian forces mass that ukraine's border, the question looms is a diplomatic resolution to the crisis. still possible. we have not seen any
4:02 am
tangible, any real sign of the escalation. we have been consistent that we want to pursue the path of diplomacy. we want to resolve this through dialogue, through diplomacy, through communication. we hope the russians have a similar willingness. russia says it's channels are still open, more so for you, i must say, there is a was a chance mr. president, look at your last contacts with the leaders of the united states and france. the german chancellor is coming from the head of the polish foreign ministry will be here, which is the head of the italian foreign ministry. and all the contacts are also planned. she was with ukraine's desire to join nato is a key sticking point. russia says they don't want a member of the security alliance on their doorstep. ukraine's president volota me or zalinski,
4:03 am
says that's not up to russia. he bought believe diesel. many ladies say that ukraine should not constantly talk about nato membership because of the risk of a russian reaction, remodeling. with that? i think there's no hiding any more or less. i think we should be sincere. it's our decision to make to for me is the is this thing you thought to was in this good ally standing next? zalinski german chancellor. all off shaw, it's reaffirmed his country support for ukraine before his trip to russia. is my him tiff, but i'm making it clear once again here and give to the ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity, a non negotiable for germany. discipline was one. we therefore expect russia to take clear steps to de escalate the current tensions seal club for germany. it is clear that further military aggression against ukraine would have serious political, economic, and geo strategic consequences. for russia. in moscow, the ice,
4:04 am
both sides have made their stances clear, and neither is backing down. but for now, at least everyone is still talking. earlier i spoke to jonathan katz a senior fellow at the german marshall fund of the united states, and i asked him if there is still room for diplomacy. there is a pass for de escalation. and i think what you heard from the state department spokesperson today that we haven't seen the united states, our european allies, including germany, have not seen steps yet to de escalate. so yes, there is room for de escalation, but at this point it's a don't trust, but verify situation, which is if russia take steps, there's really no basis to trust them based on their build up. but if they do take steps that can begin the process of de escalation and move this crisis in a different space than where it is today. when it comes to the big picture,
4:05 am
what is proteins and game anyway? it, you know, the end game for him has been control over ukraine control over ukraine's decisions . it's foreign policy decisions. it's decision to further integrate into europe. and the other, other thing that obviously mr. newton has been seeking is really a breakup of this trans atlantic security architecture that's been in place for several decades. he believes to this crisis that he can achieve certain objectives, including bringing crane back into russia's fault, but also at the same time simultaneously harming european security. and i think any time, any chance that he can get to drive a wedge between the united states, its european allies, and those that seek further integration. mr. put and viewed that as a victory. so i think those are still the objectives today. we don't see any change
4:06 am
. there's a reason why he has over a 140000 troops and the black sea already some of those that are in crimea, dom boss, a bit on the borders of russia and ballard, roots and ukraine. while ukraine's president lensky has reiterated that his country intends to join nato. is there a possibility that he could potentially drop this notion to avoid tensions with russia? i think it was pretty clear it's in ukraine's constitution that they would seek membership in nato and the e. u. so i don't see the ukrainian president moving from that position. and i don't see nato and ally its members. moving from the position that nato's door remains open to countries that seat membership, and then it's up to the native member states and the lines to determine if they're ready to enter. so i don't see that that happening. but of course, in kiev, they have a democratically elected president, which is lensky,
4:07 am
and so that they get to choose and make their own decisions as well. now, germany, chancellor has been criticized for being relatively too low key. what does he bring to the party at the stage? yeah, it was, there was a very good meeting today that took place between mister zalesky and chancellor schultz and germany has provided a tremendous amount of support for ukraine. since to may don, since 2014. i think today what they talked about was macro economic support. other type of assistance. but what i also saw was solidarity with ukraine. nothing about ukraine without ukraine. and when i see chancellor shalt speaking, and mr. crow last week. and then i'm hearing these conversations with president biden. the trans atlantic lions can be any more together in step in unity with his current crisis. i think that's the type of message that you saw today with mr. lensky and chancellor shoals, and i think it's the kind of message you're going to see tomorrow. again,
4:08 am
which is for the chancellor with vladimir putin, which is, hey, there's an opportunity deescalate the, if not, the consequences are massive. and i think that that twin message an offer for diplomacy to continue is important, but also the consequences. what is really the biggest crisis in european security the last 3 years. so this, these messages to messages need to happen, right? jonathan katz from the german marshall fund. thank you very much for your analysis . thank you. or let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. israel's pi melissa natalie bennett has made a trip to the gulf state of bahrain. it's a 1st visit to the island by an israeli head of state. the 2 sides have a mutual interest in countering the influence of iran. israel has been building diplomatic ties in the region. at least 2 people have been killed in clashes between demonstrators and riot police in sudan. thousands took to the streets in
