reuniting at the airport. credit suisse fighting allegations. it provided bank accounts to notorious criminals following a massive league adopt the swiss secret and beijing closes a winter olympics, overshadowed by the pandemic politics and the doping scandal surrounding a russian skating star. ah, welcome monica jones. thanks for joining us. u. s. president joe biden has agreed in principle to hold talks with russian president vladimir putin, bad after mediation by french president emanuel markov, aimed at diffusing tensions over ukraine. the criminal says that's why there are no concrete plans for a summit. a meeting between the leaders is feasible. the white house is the talks

won't happen if russia invades ukraine. something moscow says it has no intention of doing. despite movement on the diplomatic front, russia and by the roots are continuing military drills that were supposed to end on sunday. russia, extending military maneuvers to the united states. it's a sign that moscow is showing no interest in de, escalating the crisis. despite that french president emanuel mack cross raised hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough, he spoke to vladimir putin on sunday in 2 phone calls that last it almost 3 hours. he said the russian president agreed on the need to favor a diplomatic solution to the ongoing crisis. and to do everything to achieve one. but the u. s. is skeptical. secretary of state antony blanket maintains that russia

is on the verge of invading ukraine. his old logic, everything we're seeing tells us that the decision we believe present hooton's may to, to invade is moving forward. we've seen that with provocations created by the russians are separate his forces over the weekend, false flag operations. now the news just of this morning that the quote unquote exercises russia was engaged in belarus with 30000 russian forces that were supposed to end this weekend will now continue the weekend of mixed messages and power plays was paralleled by memorial events in kiev, commemorating the victims of the my dad square protests in 2014 and then on this day there was a turn in the history. the again, people who died here are our heroes. and we have to remember them. the team done with it, but for that purpose, we need to remember that people gave their lives for ukraine and for our european future,

we need to respect and to love it. back then dozens were killed during protests that ousted ukraine's pro russian president. 8 years later that people here don't want to see more conflict. earlier we spoke to russia, analyst and dw correspondent, constant in exit, and asked him what putin really wants. i think that what president put once now is international attention and death. he's guessing. and secondly, he wants to continue to pressure the west to pressure your crime, who doesn't believe that the grain is a sovereign state and that ukrainians have their own national interest at all. and i think that you still think the west can do something about it. and in this respect, one fear that maybe ukrainians will have over this meeting between vitamins and with the mediation of macross, i think that putting that k to be officer,

he knows the good cop bad cop routine that micro and by now i'm trying to play probably with him and he is probably prepared for that all the other hand, i think the last few days actually showed that he's trying to protract pressure without crossing some kind of red line. after which everything is lawson. diplomacy with the west over and only thanks remain. so i suppose it will not be a meeting that will produce any kind of solution, but it will be meeting that will for some time, hold off the rest of it. because and i was, did other correspondence in russia, analyst constantine a good talking to us earlier. your foreign ministers are meeting in brussels to discuss ukraine on security on the continent. the meeting is being spearheaded by yourself a barrell, the use of foreign policy chief. he welcome to the prospect of a meeting between the u. s. and rushes of the president of

u. s. and russia. but said that a sanctions package for russia has been finalized in the events of an invasion. the 27 you member states also set to discuss further support for key if you and your pal, you know, i and, and john now bi monthly to vba which wants us from bavaria. he's a conservative politician and germany and he's also the leader. all the conservative european people's party group in the european parliament, good to have you with us, of ukraine's foreign ministers, arching ukraine's. though foreign minister attending the foreign ministers meeting, it says that you has agreed to establish an advisory military mission in ukraine. what exactly is that, what does that entail? that shows solidarity bizarre green trends that also owns military sidey annex to them. and her and i looked at the biggest, the biggest thing, but we can do currently. and that is a positive signal today from brussels. is that we are clear on the sanctions that

nobody can split up. the european union together is all american friends and the list is strong enough to put in those v. hi. so that is the most important will be, can do currently to guarantee. so you mentioned the sanctions list are but sanctions are not yet on the cards. you yourself are called on the you, you to agree hard economic sanctions against russia. but when, while we speak about war in europe, that is so the threat in front of us and that's by economic arguments cannot be number one piece must be number one argument and my political group, the biggest political been to europe in parliament. we are very clear for us lawsuit to cannot be continue to. we have to exclude the russian banks from the west on financial system. so swift is on the table. and the 3rd thing is high technology must be banned from their russian market. so putting can not have access to this that are the 3 main principles we have in mind. and i would wish to see an

outspoken, you can, you know, not only to be ta from wording, but also to be tough and clear on the concrete steps we do afterwards. if you have a clear bill for put in, then it can stop. and now what we're talking right now about advisory, a military mission in ukraine, we're talking about potential sanctions. but is that all that you can offer, given the passionate speech that we heard from the training precedents and ends gave them unique security conference over the weekend? well i fully, i fully understand and i'm fully on the side of residence zalinski having in mind that for more than 40000000 cranes are now living under conditions of a possible boring from person. they need a clear signal is it is it is adverse to me right now for democracy and full of law and for freedom. is europe ready to open the door for their membership? and i would say yes, the ukrainians must have a clear idea if they want to join you save on to be part of the vest enrolled. they

are welcome. that must be the main message from our side. so to strengthen sues who are living currently under the feeling of an of an open door in front of them. that is what we have to do. that is interesting that she would say that because the ukraine foreign minister has suggested in an interview that some european nathan members are currently urging ukraine to back off. it's dr. for nato membership. who is he talking about? is he talking about germany in france? while everybody sees and some of the country see uncertainty and that is making us weaker, let's be frank about this. under the current structure of the european union as a whole is not prepared for the big challenge is on the global stage in front of us . so that's why i think we have to overcome the unanimous vote mechanism in the, in the decision making process and european level. been, it's offering a fast and we have to build up also european activities on defense and military activities on european level. having in mind that now again,

putting in by not talking about european security, you know, you repeat liter sitting there have been such a been such a meeting will take place and the hopefully will take place in the next days. that gives us a clear idea that you must speed up my stand up, must organize themselves that via better prepared to organize and guarantee security on our soil. biology modified eva conservative therapy in people's party group leader in the european parliament. thank you so much for your time. thank you so much. is a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. fire fighters are battling a huge blaze that broke out at an apartment complex in the western german city of s . and early on monday, around a 100 residents were evacuated. officials say that nobody's reported missing the strong winds from the 3rd storm to hit germany. and under a week, reportedly fuel to the fire german president hung by the shine, maya begins a 3 day visit to offer senegal to day. he's due to meet his senegalese counterpart

n t gray have suffered similar attacks, but the defect of ban on journalists means their voices can not yet be heard. or change of pace now hand to credit suisse is facing allegations that it has been handling dirty money for decades and investigation. led by german daily, the suited orchard site on has revealed that switzerland 2nd biggest lend, unknowingly managed hundreds of millions of dollars for suspected war, criminals, corrupt autocrats and drug dealers. i was, according to an investigation by a consortium of over 40 media organizations worldwide. the swiss bank says it rejects the insinuations about its purported practices. let's find out more about that now. joining me here is the w business robot wants rob. tell us more about the data leaks of credit. yes, we have the paradise papers. i'm with the panama paper, so these are being called the sweet secrets and it's an enormous cash of

information regarding $30000.00 clients of the big swiss lend accounts containing a total of 100000000000 dollars and 90000000000 euros. and these have been handed over to, as you mentioned, as you torture side song by a whistle blow, we don't know if it's an individual or an organization. but they said that they were doing it because they wanted to expose the immorality of the swiss banking secrecy system. while they've done it, they've had it over all of this information has been poured over by these dozens of media organizations around the world. and they say that they found in here accounts earned by people linked with all kinds of criminal activity. there's a human traffic in the philippines as a former head of the hong kong stock exchange, who is convicted of bribery, but they're also corrupt politicians in here. and people linked to the worst possible crimes with torture, all of whom were able to maintain and set up accounts with credit suisse despite the activity they're up to. and all of that came as a surprise to credit suisse. wanted to say, well they,

they've said that actually they can, i suppose that there was hiding behind the secrecy laws that the principal was talking about. they said they can't comment on specific cases because of the laws. but however, they do feel that they should, that these claims are based on as credits which puts it. selective information right has been taken out of context and says it completely rejects allegations about is big business practices that can be drawn from what's in this information. it says also that these documents are all these accounts, go back as far as the 940 s in back then practices were very different attitudes. what people expect from financial institutions were very different. now they all right, say that some of these go back a long way, but actually most of these accounts are set up since the year 2000. so that claim doesn't fairly whole. they still have some explaining to do i would think robot 70 that the business. thank you so much. sports now and after 2 weeks and hundreds of metals,

the beijing winter olympics had ended with the pageantry of the closing ceremony. the games finished in a snowflake themed extravaganza and the birds nest stadium. pandemic restrictions had kept athletes officials and the media in a tight bottle during the games which featured remarkable performances and controlled asi organizers. folk is next on paris for the 2024 summer games and milan for the next winter olympics. while he has a look back at some of the highs and lows, this is winter games in beijing. ha, fire works lit up the night sky in beijing to mark the start of the 2022 winter olympics. china's government spent billions in the builder and cove. it didn't make it any easier. the host nations human rights record was put under international scrutiny. their treatment of wicker muslims prompted countries like the u. s. and the u. k. to stage a diplomatic boycott,

china responded by having a weaker athlete light. the olympic flay. sticking to the script. international olympic committee, president, thomas bah, cited his know, politics, pledge, the position or for who the the i, you see her must be given the or political or neutrality of it. we are not her commenting on her political, her issues. however, organizers did comment on this display from ukraine. instead of calling it political, the i o. c. described it as a call for peace on the sporting for russia's 15 year old figure skater, camilla valley ava dominated headlines due to testing positive for a band substance. but due to being a minor, while the eva was allowed to continue competing,

which didn't end well for the teenager. away from the politics and controversy. china hauled in a record 9 gold medals. 2 went to freestyle skier, eileen du, francesco friedrich and germany's barb sled team, had an unforgettable showing in beijing. but when it comes to the best of the best, out doing all nations was norway. the norwegians taught the metals table with a record 16 golds for more than the successful germans. despite the hiccups here and there, the beijing winter games provided plenty of sporting highlights and historic achievements. and with controversy threatening to cloud, who had should have been a moment of pride for beijing, the foreign correspondence club of china say their quote dismay to buy chinese authorities attempts to silence independent reporting in a strongly worded statement released on monday,

the f. c. c. c. said government interference occurred regularly during the games. the s c c, c is disappointed the china has tightened conditions for the press, contrary to the olympic spirit of a more, i'm joined now by china. corresponding fabian catch now, who is in a beijing for us fabbing their strong words, they are from the foreign correspondence club of a china. what more can you tell us about those accusations center do use? did a square with, with your own experience? yes, some journalist, they have been denied interview requests and other journalists who did a life hit on tv basically i'm what i'm doing right now has been men handled. am another journalist has been followed by mind as well. i'm basically just asking people on the street what they think about olympics, yet those accusations i can definitely relate to them. they happened to me as well . it's not the norm but it can happen anytime. and usually it happens because m

yahoo or nick, members of the neighborhood committee or local. i'm a security stuff on the ground a ground. they act very overzealous and they think they're in line with the official rules, but they are not. and yet it can happen anytime. and of course i should imagine that this is not exactly the kind of press surgeon pinging had been helpful for, is it no, definitely not. i mean, some observers argue that china doesn't seem to care any more what the international community thinks about them, but i would strongly disagree. i'm china wants to be a law. but at what we happen is basically, we're seeing the result of a narcissistic injury. if china cannot be loved every attempt that they do it increasing their soft power failed. so now they want to be respected, and we only have to compare what happened in 2008, 14 years ago when there were the some olympics at bedtime international journalists that were welcomed. and it was really quite open and you could do some independent reporting. i mean, compared to bowed was almost like a paradise. now,

the attitude that am the officials are having towards international correspondence . it's paranoia. we are really almost perceived as foreign spice. in some extreme cases, so the movie really has changed a lot. all right, to china correspondent, fabia and catch my there in beijing. thank you so much. you're watching d. w. news. he as a reminder of the top story we're following for u. u. s. presidential biden. has agreed in principle, to hold talks with russian president vladimir putin, that's after mediation by french president amount when i call aimed at diffusing tensions over ukraine. the white house says the talks won't happen if russia invades ukraine, which moscow says it has no intention of doing. australia has reopened its board as to vaccinated tourists ending one of the long distance. toughest corona, i was closures of the world. family and friends have been reuniting at apples after
