ukraine joining nato. but added the moscow would be open to further talks. it's his most important trip abroad to date. arriving in moscow, olaf shots wants to do what he and his political party historically consider one of their key tasks, building bridges with russia, and a bridge as badly needed just a day ahead of what some belief is. the date, russia plans to invade ukraine, while shots made his way to the kremlin, the russian parliament sent a strong signal to the west. members of the duma asked their president to recognize the to break away regions and east and ukraine as independent and move that could kill off what remains of the men's piece process. putting in words that the very difficult preconditions for shots as crisis talks with vladimir putin held at a distance due to cove. it concerns the lead us looked for ways to close the gap between russia and the west. when speaking to the press, afterwards,

both emphasized eddie termination to diffuse tensions associates more to gus, courageous and responsible action is now required from everybody. thus volitional, sorry for binding enough. i want to say one thing for my generation war in europe has become unthinkable. and we must in sure, it stays that way of cover at starting is heads of state and government. it's our damn responsibility in our job to prevent a military escalation in europe. why tumor, do it union can nationally do we want war or not? you enough, of course not. we, that is why we have made proposals to start the negotiation process is will this should lead to an agreement of providing equal security for everybody, including our country. if you grew share in local thermal. so more talks are needed for a diplomatic breakthrough, and yet they are small signs, the threat is subsiding. over the course of the day, russia announced it was withdrawing some of its more than $100000.00 troops along

the border with ukraine. if those claims turned out to be true, it would be the 1st sign of de escalation. in weeks. earlier i spoke with our chief political editor mika in a christner who is travelling with the chancellor and asked her with the mood has been throughout the day. well certainly the child that did become empty handed and as he stepped off the plane and already we were getting reports that some of the troops amongst them in the ukrainian booked up would now be sent back into their previous positions that this slight i say, down scaling of the threat, and that did set the mood for the day, so saw it's brought from key if what he was yesterday, but in between he went to voted and it guarantees basic by ukraine that it will take a further step to woo it's fulfilling. it's part of the so called minsk agreement,

the minsk process, and it puts 3 drop laws on the table which it is supposed to deliver. now this is something that of letting of putin actually and act as, as if it hadn't really happened. he said that ukraine still isn't rudy doing dash head but certainly something in the tone the conversation changed. and what is really still unclear is whether this was a tactic of russian tactic all along and or whether there really was the contribution made of by pushing that process along at which wasn't easy to secure from the ukrainian side either. so that's why we are, it looks like the immediate threat is cooled off the tomorrow and the older nobody said it officially. it would be rather odds if that were to take place. but as you can tell, there's also some tourists where i'm standing. trying to steer the limelight there . i'm now getting back to with the other important developments that we're,

we're putting to day a rush are claiming that to some troops are returning to their basis. do we know if, if that topic has at all come up during their bilateral one on one meeting? ah, well, it appears that wasn't necessarily a deep discussion about it, but it certainly is a sign and it would make it much more difficult to now go into a full offensive a just 24 hours later would be make signals also to russian public because that's not forget that vladimir putin is speaking to russians when he is in international press conference like that. we also had told from the defense ministry that some of the objectives of those maneuvers as it was cold and were met. so that would allow for that step, at the same time, a stern warning from vladimir putin who said he didn't want bull either. that to you. yes, he would still engaged in further talks. at the same time, he would not allow it to happen. that at things get changed,

which had done the difficult for the russian side. so he would see those dragged out as he put it. so a bit of time bought through diplomacy for now with still very uncertain. and map ahead. we understand that the chancellor said that some aspects of russia's demands are worth considering. do we know what he meant by that? well, is if he is, i mean, what we heard from the chance a time time again is a will. how could it be that there you could go to whoa. and if is that the reason is, is supposed to be a country wanting to join nato, which can't legally do so probably for a nice the generation anyway of what and what i saw it is a video is done on in wants to do is she sit down and go through details and find new entry points without crossing that red line if allowing russia to build a sphere of influence and basically calling the shots and who could join nato. oh,

not now. that still clearly are 2 different positions ethel. so it was filled out by all i saw it, but the seems to be a willingness now on both sides to go further into the detail and see what can be. it's hate chief, i'm sounding bay because that's exactly where the process is standing right now. and one of those entry points are security guarantees for rustles, in terms of what weapons are stationed. did abused chief political etter, mikaela christner, reporting from moscow. okay, and i thank you. when i say about the other stories in the headlines right now, what an opposition figure alexis of ali has gone on trial again in a new case, the could see his prison term extend it. he's currently serving a sentence in a penal colony, and russian, prosecutors are now accusing him of stealing almost $5000000.00 from donations to his charity. amnesty international has described the trial as a sham britons prince. andrew has reached

a cab double cork, 1260 on her final to move into 1st place. she's one back to back olympic gold in big air, new zealand, zoe, he is a dow skia senate took silver fraser also at the games. one of the biggest stories has been eileen gould, who has claimed another metal for china, she missed out on gold, and the skiing slope style grew seemed to be out of metal con contention entirely when she fell during her 2nd run. but an assured, final attempt saw her claim silver. meanwhile, was switzerland's matilda. grandma took gould with a spectacular run, including this back words job unbelievable. so the fact that american born eileen grew is competing for china is one of the biggest stories of the games. and we asked our correspondent in beijing, jonathan, great how closely the local audience in china are following her events while they

are following her very closely. indeed that for middle performance has been a repeat on chinese television. it seems like she really is the face of these games, hugely popular here. but there is a twist because island grew. that's not forget was born and grew up in california. she switched allegiance to china in 2019. so she's really kind of straddling a geo political divide. she's trying to keep 2 sites happy, and it's not easy for her in the us. she's accused of being a traitor. she's accused of setting out to china. she's incredibly market. suppose she's got multi $1000000.00 sponsorship deals on both sides of that divide in the west and in asia. and she's been criticized but not necessarily using her platform to speak out on human rights issues, for example. now, just as she's got tricks on the slope, she's also got tricks in press conferences because she's asked about this. and she always manages to avoid it quite success successfully. and she facie says, look, i'm here to inspire people, lemons,

and i'm inspiring people to take out when to support say, you know, the press conference is often feel like just as much of a performance is the performance on the competition. jonathan crane, they're reporting at for you from beijing. next or organizers of this year is berlin. international film festival have received some bad news. french screen legends, isabel had been due to receive an honorary golden bear. but unfortunately, she was tested positive for coven 19 and can't pick up her a lifetime achievement award this evening. all the festival is, however, still going ahead with a retrospective of her work. in a career spending more than 5 decades, isabel repair has appeared in over $130.00 films of various genres. she's gained a reputation for playing, intelligent and audacious characters, often with a chilly reserve. at the age of 19,
