lens, he appeals the strongest support at the munich security coff. ah, i'm anthony howard. thanks for joining us. nato was now saying that all indications point to an all out russian attack on ye crime, echoing early a warnings from the us, then it i was now relocating star from the capital kia in anticipation of an invasion. and germany is now saying it will citizens must leave the country for their safety. and while russia continues to claim that it is not seeking conflict on saturday, president putin supervised military drills involving nuclear capable miss house. that he was a d. o o. these are just exercises, but this gale is massive. russia launch ballistic missiles as part of their nuclear

drills along ukraine's borders in the air. on the ground and at sea, president putin and bella, russian leader luke ankle watched them closely from the situation room in the kremlin. moscow communicated that the plant exercises should not cause any one concern, but they come at a questionable time. separatist rushing back leaders made a call to arms, citing an immediate threat of aggression from ukraine. but if the way the medical i call on fellow countrymen who were in reserve to come to the military commissary at superman, gruff, a few today i signed a decree on general mobilization gun with schumann by appeal to all the men of the republic who were able to hold weapons in their hands of the sheeple to stand up for their families, their children wrong. why of his mothers from youth when we were together, we will achieve the desired and necessary victory for all of us. why be a but ukraine's military beliefs, separatist forces are trying to provoke

a response and that russian backed separatists other ones shelling and done bus ukraine reported that 2 of its soldiers died in attacks on saturday. when or which was the in the shelling has started and hasn't started to loop. it's hard to estimate the intensity boobies unlawfully on 17th, 18th and 19th february. the dynamic was the same around $60.00 to $65.00 showings per day. meanwhile, separatist authorities evacuated civilians from the russia backed rebel regions. some were brought over the border to russia by bus. others decided to drive themselves that we had enough in 2014. we don't want to wait until the last minute . better leave in advance. machine done, my husband as a reserve officer for the men were warned to stay where they were, and boys over 18 years old and not allowed out so that everyone is in place today doing good when you move was go. sure, super saluting them is the what is it for those who have nowhere to go?

russia set up temporary camps. near border checkpoint, many a hoping to soon return home. well d, w correspondent constantine egg joins me now for more from the lithuanian capital. vilnius. welcome to constantine per russian. separatists are evacuating civilians from bramble health areas put in is pictured in the situation room. it's getting harder to interpret. they signs more than one way isn't not i think there are still interpretations. i think that this is part of the credit on playbook when you read your top tension, create full swag operations and pretexts, and try to pressure the enemy into concessions. i think that this story about urgent evacuations has already been through logic stand debunked by a lot of russian investigation. journalists just like the abused by the need as all the russian back separatist, the so called republics off. they were recorded probably 2 from the 3 days before

that and started on cold. so a few things point to the fact that it was premeditated. and it is part of psychological pressure. konstantin, when so much of the rest of the world is committed to making him pay daily. what then does vladimir putin have to gain by inviting ukraine? well i think that probably he messed miscalculated them to the reaction, especially the west reaction was much harder and much more tough than he expected. and now he has to get out of the situation. but you can't just say, i'm sorry i was wrong. give me a cup of coffee in that leap. you have to produce a result in moving his domestic consistency for the russian problem. and i think what he probably plans for now is some kind of humanitarian goals. operation taking on the rushes protection, the already ration control areas,

eastern the crime under the facts of the perceived ukrainian aggression. and i think it's to that and that the sitting the external recession of the federation council, which is the upper chamber of russian parliament, is shadows for early next week. this is a legal procedure which i think on this day of the translation council will give puccini war powers. you powers to deploy the military abroad, whether he will use this policy or not. i'm not certain. i still think he was some kind of the reaction from if he wants to create a situation which she will state just one millimeter, one step away from the red line of all war. if the turn movements military exercises on the crime border has just been a leverage play, it couldn't getting any closer to getting any of the security concerns taken seriously. or is he just managing to push the west farther away?

security concerns and the ultimatums of the kremlin were just treat x to pressure ukraine and to continue the war on the west, the war of america that begins with wage. and in my view for the last 8 years, at least, and i do not think he's getting any closer. in such circumstances, only theory learn, sanderson read x. i'm absolutely certain that the united states, for example, will be ready to discuss. for example, the new start treaty or, or the confidence measures in order to watch that such, such situations in the future. but that remains to be seen. well, now we are all focused on what happens on your grand boys. they doubly correspondent constantine, a great to get your thoughts. thank you. thank you. where he grinds. president vladimir lensky is calling for face to face talks with vladimir putin to resolve the crisis. moscow, he said, could even pick the location of the meeting to lance. he was speaking at the munich

security conference, where he also appealed for more west and support to shield his country against the russian threat. on the 2nd day, he took center stage. reloading years, the lensky president of the country. all others have been talking about since the conference kicked off ukraine, a country at the bring before he left kias against advise from washington to make one more urgent call for help we june on would you could've or more every one needs to understand that this is not some kind of donation need ukraine to be bragging for them. i believe that this is not just a broad gesture that ukraine should be bowing down for the green. and my, this is your contribution to the european and international security for which ukraine has been serving as a she'll for 8 years now. carina are reliable shield year holding back one of the largest armies in the world. these humorous gifts 3 murders they did. so army suite

zalinski is that his country is not going to be a permanent dasa against that army on villa medical schools. in bilateral meetings, he won the west that nato members could be next if ukraine is attacked soon and, and the u. s. is convinced an attack is imminent. we now receive reports of what appears to be provocations. and we see russia spreading. this information lies and propaganda. german chancellor will of shots also stressed that moscow stated reasons for its security concerns. are a pretext, was the genocide. this is the real problem that there is not the mate membership of ukraine on the agenda. it will not happen the next time i'd even not in the near time. 40 knows that the situation, but that is something ukraine's president has put up for debate because he would

like to see his country join both the european union and natalie. yeah, because the brake light. ok now because it great. it works. hold. the doors are open, it's throwing him, but so far there's no opportunity. jackson, if she's late and not all the members, are willing to see us, they are all members don't want to see us. there ought to be honest about it because he opened doors are good. it's great, but we need open answer. helena malignant grady. it provides answers or something he didn't get while in munich, but still hoping to get some before it's too late. all day doubly had the chance to speak to german foreign minister and a lena bear book and ask her about the mounting tensions of ukraine or many southern minister germany has asked all german citizens to leave ukraine immediately. has the security situation changed? the amber? i'd say we already put precautionary measures in place for germans citizens last week. in the last 48 hours, we've seen false flag operations once again was like,

they've been used as a pretext by separatist. and to say there's been further escalation vida design. we've therefore now introduced further measures to show we are prepared for all eventualities. so ma hm. m, das vialva lisp, albrighton. the ukranian president zalinski has been clearly critical of germany. can germany do more? i'm not too happy in mentioning the investigation. i underscored here in munich that we are totally on the side of ukraine, and that we in full solidarity, continued to support ukraine as the largest financial donor. yet because the current situation more than anything else contributes to internal destabilization regarding not just financial, but also economic stability of either, we will keep building on this and also look at how we could provide moral support in terms of security. when you said president lensky also demanded a specific statement regarding his country's chances of nato membership,

what is your response to him? him does as a he off what a said he yesterday. and also in the last several weeks, every country can freely decide about its alliances. for the future, this is not the right of other states and that, but with the soul right of a country and above all, its people find that applies to nato. that applies to the e u. this applies to all other alliances in the world, as is the case for all other countries of a book. but is there still a connection between berlin and moscow? i is still talking in concrete terms today, for example, somebody in actually, yes, of course we're talking across all channels because we are in a highly dangerous situation. we have repeated, he made it clear that the most important thing is peace in europe and peace for every one in europe. and so we once again renew ellis and sit invitation to hold discussions within the framework of the men's processes, normandy, form it. we're seeing how much insecurity people in the occupied territories and

east and ukraine have lived through high, and that is all them also in the last several hours. so that's why it's all the more important now to come back to the negotiating table to ensure security for the people in the region whenever you want a dog can end up. thank you. thank you as well. jim and football now and fans were dressed in their carnival best ready for abundance like a party as cologne, hosted frankfurt on satellite. not. oh, excitement was in the air in cologne. both teams separated by one point needed a when to propel them into the coveted european qualifications thoughts. but the fans would have to sweat this one out. the intense 1st half saw both teams wasteful in front of goal. this chance fell to sebastian rota about 10 yards out

after some nice buildup, but the captain shot wasn't precise enough. then it was cologne's turn, but dan knew bitchy sent his shot straight at kevin track. but late in the game, cologne got their goal. who else put anthony modest to put them in front? he charged into the box and coolly slighted it under trap to put cologne ahead with his 15th boon to see good goal of the season. ah! one knew the final score as cologne climb into the european places with this well deserved victory. in other goodness, legal action, hoffen haim got off to a slow start against bull spoke, but attend it around winning to one of the scoring 2 goals in just 5 minutes. john brehm lawson had only been on the pitch for 3 minutes when he connected with

a seasick whack to tie the game for hoffen hot. he's one to go provided health and hon with the spot. they needed to turn the game around, and on the line they took full credentials with a supposed come in watching day w news from purely enough next to sports life, tracking the rise and fall, a football giant if see barcelona, state you for that more headlines coming up at the top of the ah, imagine how many portions of lunch us are now in the world right now. the climate change is very hot. the story. this is much less the way from just one week. how much was going to really get we still have time to go. i'm going all with his subscriber all
