[000:00:00;00] ah this is the w news line from berlin. the u. s. search is russia to declare that it will not invade ukraine as diplomats trade demands of the un security council. ukrainian government forces, and russia back separatists accuse each other of shelling attacks in the countries east. also on the program this storms hit, parts of europe, several people are killed. is gale force winds, bring air rail and fairy services to a standstill,

more wild. whether it's on the way african leaders asked the european union to suspend peyton on the cofi. 19 vaccines. usually it is at the summit in brussels, in 5th, they're already doing enough to help africa fight the foundation. i'm remembering i hero of the 948000000000 ad or by yourself force private galle. halverson has died age 101 became famous for dropping sweets to children from use and plate back at the candy bama became an icon of post world. ah, i'm from gale. welcome to the program. united states has urged russia to declare that it has no intention of invading ukraine. speaking of the un security council,

u. s. secretary of state antony blank and repeated warnings that russia is poised to launch an attack. russia insisted that it is withdrawing troops and accused you crate or failing to implement a previous piece deal. meanwhile, their reports are fighting in ukraine's east with the government and pro russia separatists accusing each other of carrying out sharing attacks. in this government held village in eastern ukraine, a kindergarten hit by a shell. the ukranian army says the shell that was fired from the other side just into this came up there where you can see this hole in the wall. and it fell into place where the kids were going to have their gym class. luckily none of the kids was inside that room that at my in did another kid is not after 2 children were having breakfast at the time and were planning to have lessons in that room at 9 a. m. according to their schedule,

shes luckily the children were not heard. only the employees were shell shocked. you as president joe biden believes the russian invasion will take place any day. now a drought move worker number one number to read the believe that they are a lawyer. every indication we have with a fact that a un security council meeting you as a secretary of state antony blinking, warned russia was already manufacturing for vacation to justify an attack when you so when you with this could be a violent event that russia ramen, ukraine, or an outrageous accusation that russia will level against the ukrainian government . moscow has already accused ukraine of committing genocide in the eastern done best region, and labeled the false claims as hysteria authorities over. nobody seeks any

excuses for hostile elections. we sit, we do not hope an intention to do this. for days. russia said its troops or withdrawing from areas near the border with ukraine, but the west police moscow has a mass, some 150000 soldiers around its neighbor. the conflict is far from over. at the w correspondent, mathias pulling her is in easton, you crate, and the town of a crime, a toss could near the front line in the conflict between government forces and russia back separatist. i asked him if the shelling of the nursery that he pointed out in his report was a sign that tensions in the region. a gray? yes, tensions are growing. that's what we can say for sure. there has been intense selling for 2 days now. after we left that place where the kinder garden is, the place was shelled again and houses were destroyed and were on fire at night. and the same is reported from other other places,

villages and towns along the contact line. so there is a clear escalation here. the ukrainian side blames it all on the other side on the separate, separate is side and there is a lot of conflicting information. you always see has not established yet. all of the details for these fires have often just to refrain from clearly stating or, or b have not been able to to clearly say where it was coming from. but what, what is very clear is that shelling has intensified on this, on this side of the, of the board of shelling on ukrainian villages. we have less information from the other side. right. so bay where you are in the east of ukraine. that's a place where the fighting and never really stop to our people. they're afraid of a wider russian invasion. people here are afraid of an escalation of an intensifying of fighting here. as you said,

it has never stopped it. there has been fighting for 8 years, although i believe my ears were in place and they were respected at times. they were violated only slightly. and now we are seeing this escalation, the prospect of a wider invasion that would include many other parts of ukraine. they would, for example, include an incursion or from the north or onto kia, for example. that is something of course, people in other parts of ukraine are worried about. however, the worries here in ukraine do not match the international warnings. the ukrainian government has sad once again that they do not see preparations on the russian side for a full scale invasion arm. and are the people are just watching this carefully, or they are alert, but they're not panicking. and there's this dispute about whether

a russia really has paul. so if it's true back from it's border with ukraine, what's your understanding of what's going on? well, it seems that this has not really happened when they announced the withdrawal of troops. there was some activity troops were being moved around, but the 1st thing is that russia said it would move back to the troops from the western military district. that is, those places any way close to the ukrainian borders back into their, into their barracks. but they could be deployed quickly again. now what we're hearing from intelligent sources is that they have not really withdrawn many, they have moved them a little bit around, but not withdrawing some or even saying us have even said that they might have reinforced them. or this is based on satellite imagery. there is no headcount of course of soldiers, no headcount accessible to anybody else,

but the russian leadership of the soldiers that are really deployed there. okay, thank you for that. i'm it is, i think because fundamentally is bullying in eastern ukraine has talked to her in last a who is vice president survey american public policy think tank. the german marshal funds will talk about the problems on ukraine's border and he joins us from brussels. welcome to d, w. and people are fond of saying that diplomacy is working as long as no one is shooting. but it, it's hard to see what the last few weeks of intense high level diplomacy has achieved. well, that's exactly right. of course, the diplomacy is essential, but the dynamics change as time has gone on as forces have been concentrated around ukraine as the risk of something going seriously wrong. whatever russian intentions

are will increase. and so there are 2 challenges here. one is crisis management, immediate crisis management so far has not been successful. and the other is to see if there isn't some way to, to talk to russia about some of its longer term concerns are present. macros tried to do that? not that to is not yet been successful and that's a longer term project. so there seems to be little trust in this process as well. when we have russia saying that it's withdrawing true to me, you are saying, i'm the satellite saying what we've checked and you really haven't. again, it's hard to say how diplomacy can work without trust. there's very, very little trust. i mean that's, that's absolutely clear. what is also clear is that it's possible to see almost everything elegant services, even commercial satellite operators can provide overhead imagery, which makes, you know, in other kinds of intelligence gathered. it's very clear what is happening, but judging intentions is much tougher. and there we really do get to this question

of trust and cost at the moment. is that what bottom? but it's certainly a minimum of thought talking about addressing russia security concerns that clinically speaking, if russia wants to keep the ukraine out of night. so then, short of night, so all ukraine agreeing to this demand, then all moscow really has to do is maintain the instability at the border. is that a sustainable policy in the long term? well, i have to think that russia understands very well that, that ukraine is not becoming a member of nato anytime soon. perhaps never. i mean, this is very clear. it's one thing to have a declaratory open door at which they don't policy. nato allies aren't going to back away from that, but the politics of that are also very clear that the data simply isn't joining. sorry, are you create this is joining nato anytime soon. they may be equally concerned over the long term of credit,

just simply coming closer to the european union coming closer to the west and all that that would mean for society and politics inside russia itself. and that may be the longer concern the longer game that russia is trying to play prevents you know, it's pretty clear that the, the tougher they can make the situation looking ukraine, the harder be for ukraine to be integrated into the west. what's your view on the way that us european cooperation in this situation has worked? is this a well functioning machine? i think it's been very, very close actually. and you know, there will be, there is a package of sanctions being developed european side, but developed in close coordination with the united states. these haven't been revealed in detail yet. but my sense is that on an hourly basis, a constant basis you in the us are talking to each other about what should be in that package about policy towards ukraine in general is

a huge shift from the kind of atmosphere we had in the u. s. u relations, just a few years ago. obviously i could talk to you. thank you so much for joining us. and that's at the vice president of the german marshall fund that to do with well, the current crisis is expected to dominate the munich security conference, which begins today. us vice president comma harris is one of the 1st phone representatives to advise in germany the annual 3 day policy for which is launched at the height of the cold war. for the 1st time since $991.00, russia will not be attending the w will bring you a full coverage from munich at this up. and one of the people you'll be seeing a lot of coverage of the security conference is our chief political editor, mckayla not welcome, mckayla. let's talk about russia. no russia delegation for the 1st time in 30 years . why? yes, that's a big question. well, clearly russia is not interested in engaging in detail on the goings on,

not just over ukraine, but also over other crisis regions. there's a lot to talk about at this munich security conference. but the current stand off, which as we heard not as antony blinkin. also the u. s. president fears could tip over into a hot war at any point. and now it's clearly overshadowing every conversation that is taking place on the multiple other crises that really me talking about after all this music security conference, which is seen most importantly as a forum where leaders can meet in the side rooms can have private conversations out of the spotlight while us journalists are talking here in the full glare, am of the public. it hasn't really taken place for 2 years now. and so it's about time at that these leaders can meet and with great urgency to have such conversations. russia clearly isn't interested in talking in detail. thank you for

that. i. d. w. j political editor, mckenna cutler, the munich security conference. i will take a look now at some of the other stores making headlines around the world will start with united states where a judge has ruled that former president, donald trump, but testify the new york court a 3 year investigation into the trump organization house uncovered significant evidence of possible fraud is 2 eldest children, ivank. i'm donald junior. i must also testify. lawmakers in ecuador have voted to allow abortions in cases of rape girls under 18 and rural, or indigenous women will be allowed to terminate pregnancies up to the 18th. we will have up to 12 weeks until abortion activist demonstrated outside the call as the vote took place. 7 the greek coast guard says is safely rescued. hundreds of people from a burning ferry. the vessel was traveling between greece and italy, when

a fire broke out in the early hours of friday. on $280.00 passengers and crew were on board that be no reports of serious injury. a series of severe storms has hit parts of central europe. at least 4 people were killed. as gale force winds brought down trees and power lines across germany, a neighboring countries, while the united kingdom has issued a weather warning as another storm barrels across the atlantic. a commute of ferry on the elbow river close to hamburg. people here i used to stormy weather, but not to this luckily, no one was seriously hurt. shipping for larger vessels has been suspended in many coastal areas in northern germany, west storm elaine, you hit particularly hard rail traffic is also affected. many long distance trains in particular have been cancelled,

causing major problems for those traveling from hamburg, go berlin to munich on the fall, his knees. cancellations are precautionary measure because the safety of our passengers, an employee is our top priority. we don't want training being stuck on the open tracking these weather conditions. i asked because making sure 30400 or 500 passengers on a train are safe is difficult, especially when the train has also cut off from the power supply on that move along . falling trees pose the highest risk the motorists. several people were killed when their cars were hit in germany and neighboring countries like poland in the czech republic. emergency services are advising people to stay home if they can, because the next storm is hot on the heels of millennia. and zane up, as it's been called, could be even more destructive. the leaders from the african union and the european union are meeting for the 2nd day of

a summit in brussels. african leaders are using the event to repaint that demands for waivers of coven 19 vaccine patients. the a u has responded by saying it will invest in new factories in africa to produce the vaccines locally. the summit being billed as a reset in relations between the regional blocks. further announcements of funding are expected to day. the w correspondent jack perez is in brussels. i asked him if there's been any progress between a you and e and the e. you over more equal access to covey. 19 vaccines at the moment, we don't think so. we know that this is really the big battle between the leaders of the african union. there's 40 of them here. and the $27.00 european leaders, the, the, the south african president. so rom, oppose who has called this vaccine apartheid regularly, and accused the europeans of preventing the possibility of african people getting the vaccines that they need to get through the pandemic. under 10 percent of africa,

african citizens of fully vaccinated with 2 doses. many countries in the european union hitting 70 percent of boost the doses already. but the europeans simply say that releasing the trips waiver, so allowing intellectual property rights to be completely suspended so that everybody can make these emanate vaccines wherever they like. that simply doesn't work. they say that there needs to be the know how that needs to be the technological understanding of how to create these vaccines. and that's why they say it's better to, to, for them to create factories and then and then sell them into africa. as i say, this is the big battle at the summit, but there have been other issues that have been going on yesterday. frank said it was pulling out of molly removing just under 2500 troops into other parts of the cell region of africa. and that's been a big, big issue, the security issue that, that he does have been talking about as well. while those leaders are from africa and europe debate cove in 19 vaccine supply,

a pharmaceutical company has unveiled plans for new scale down vaccine factories. germany is by on tech says it's so cold to buy on containers by on tennis could provide millions of doses of its current virus vaccine in african countries. of the diseases could also be targeted. these containers could help advance the global fight against covered 19 tiny vaccine factories model units developed by german farm, affirmed by on tech to produce m r f exceeds you can build it on stock for example, and you can deploy very quickly and you scale it to a new sites you want them to become very clear. um that this is the perfect case actually for africa. at the moment, only about 12 percent of the african population has received 2 vaccine shots by aren't access, it's by own tanner's could initially produce up to $50000000.00 doses per year,

making africa less dependent on imparts. at the same time, the company's c e o. over shaheen made it clear by on, sag wont suspended vaccine patient. but he also said the company won't challenge vaccine copying in africa. you go recognize that that vaccine vaccine equity is not given at the moment. we had a wonderful meeting, was our partner from africa and, and one of the most impressive statements our was laws that vaccine equity is not about the past is about the future. shaheen was, i'm african leaders on wednesday at the company's production site in my book to present the new project, while some criticise bound tax initiative, saying the european build solution is not local enough. senegalese president mackey sell says it's historic for ju move birthday. finally puts an end to

vaccine injustice during a pandemic that has affected the world. yeah, martin, lamon norma, we have experienced that the african continent was left alone because africa are only produces around one percent of the vaccines that are administered on the continent and should look wanted in the future by antic also wants to use the bi on toners to produce vaccines against malaria, arch hoopa, colossus. the 1st prototypes will be implemented in render, senegal, or south africa. by the end of this here, a controversy over the wearing of head jobs at school. hosp sparked protests across india in recent weeks. schools and part of the country were closed temporarily after muslim communities protested against the batting of jobs and classrooms, which led to counter protest by some hinders a quarter. now considering the back, the w. madeira child re reports from the southern states of kanaka, where the route erupted. fatima and garcia,

friends from the same village are going to their college after a gap of a few days. the state government shut the college in bangalore, along with other colleges in the state of karnataka for a week. the reason a controversy involving her jobs, the situation escalated in nearby willoughby known as the temple town of the south . there a quality band the her job that caused a standoff between those who defended their right to where the job and others who opposed allowing it inside an educational institution. as tensions cleared the protest, both anti and pro, he job spilled over to other parts of india. this is the government pre university college where allegations of denying entry to girls in her jobs 1st surfaced. the principal, your and the state education minister, blame a certain student organization for instigating the issue. and the students here to protest against the dress court, we had otherwise,
