have been cut off here. i can surely generations caught up in a conflict. they cannot escape good diet bite knocked on me at being who will take her then let me be for a day or 2. but what about after that? and when i come back, there will be nothing ruins. he store my n g project alco covered at last, michael on sunday, a glimmer of hope. french president manuel macro, juggled the phones between joe biden and vladimir putin. his off. they said they had agreed in principle to a summit. it's early days, but the ukrainian foreign minister welcomed the news. we hope, of course, as human beings to someone who desperately wants to avoid the war. we hope that 2 presidents will walk out from the room. with an agreement. robert russia was drawing his forces from ukraine. he was in brussels as a special guest at a meeting of european foreign ministers in japan. you that i'm doing the can you

was, i are gently appeal to the russian government and to the russian president do not play with human lives. the e u has mostly agreed on a package of sanctions. now the debate is a bite when to apply them. before or after a possible invasion for all the signs of a diplomatic break through no evidence so far that moscow is de escalating. analysts say this footage appears to show a rush and break through formation. just kilometers from ukraine. straight turnover, ukrainian, capital van rejoined d w. a correspondent, nick connelly. welcome dick let's. let's start with those russian claims. who have killed 5 saboteurs who crossed into russia from ukraine or what are you here? well this is supposed to of taken parts taking place rather early this morning and 5 allegedly ukrainian secret service agents down russian territory. and then

a further to military trucks that allegedly were sent by ukraine to try and pick them up and bring them back to ukraine. in turkey, russia saying that they killed those 5 ukrainian agents and destroyed the 2 vehicles. we haven't seen pictures of either yet. this is now being widely reported by russian state media. we've had these kind of claims in the past from the pro ration separatists, them accusing ukraine of all kinds of operations on there at church, on the church they control. but this, the 1st time that russia makes these kind of accusations we had in recent days, claims from moscow that to ukrainian shells had landed a russian churchy. so definitely a sense that this is an escalation that this is lacey as seen from key have an attempt by moscow to justify some kind of intervention here and ukraine looking for a reason to intervene. another u. k has joined the united states in talking, not the imminence of a russian invasion. the british prime minister spokesman says, is to prudence plan has already begun as that being received,

bearing his over the longest time, there was this weird disconnect between the social headlines and this huge intestinal attention to these russian tanks and troops being built up along ukraine's borders. and then the situation here on the ground in ukraine, where you had a presence lensky talking down the acute threat saying that war was not imminent. that yes, this was dangerous situation, but nothing that you quite hadn't seen before. ordinary ukrainians, basically telling you they didn't want to engage with this, and this was all just an attempt to intimidate them and they wouldn't let these russian tanks and these headlines stop them to go about their daily lives. but i think there is definitely a sense of that intensification of shelling of conflict in dumbass that really is now basically as intense. it was at the high point, the conflict in 201415. and the fact that we're getting increasingly aggressive rhetoric from moscow that seems to, you know, it's just that russia is looking for a reason, at least for its domestic audience to begin a conflict that really has people nervous, hear people talking about preparing bags and money. and supplies,

if they would need to leave and hurry. and now we have separate as late as in to all those that breakaway regions in the east, demanding that they be a recognized as independent states requested vladimir putin at today said needs to be considered of what's going on was, is definitely something new because there is it doesn't really seem like it's in rushes of la putin's interest to recognize those separatists because near the stretch you along at least as appeared to be, to try and force ukraine to reintegrate those regions with a lot of autonomy. so they can basically be a vehicle for russia to influence ukrainian politics, to basically turn those separatists into legitimate ukrainian politicians as away from moscow to prevent ukraine moving to fall west. so the idea that moscow would recognize them there by killing of that peace process and the prospect of them being re integrated into ukraine does seem like moscow has, is willing to consider giving up on that piece process and may be considering using

for so other means to get its way rather than trying to force ukraine to implement those medical schools as that necka conley in q will. d w is chief. political correspondent, belinda crane. can tell us more about german diplomatic efforts in this crisis. welcome belinda. chancellor schultz is due to call that the young russian president vladimir putin later on the face to face meeting in moscow last week. what does mister schultz hope to achieve? well, on saturday, at a major international security conference here in germany, in the city of munich, chancellor shorts described his aims in relations with russia as quote, as much diplomacy as possible without being naive. so specifically in this case, that means that after a long call yesterday with french president macro chantelle, the shots intends to reinforce the message that there is still a diplomatic path. and as far as we're hearing, he also plans to advocate

a summit meeting between the u. s. and russian presidents, president, my cross says that in his own call with president putin on sunday, the latter agreed in principle to a meeting. but the kremlin this morning has been denying any plan for a summit. also, the us and nato have made very specific offers to russia addressing. it's called for security guarantees. and russia hasn't picked up on any of those. rather, it has up its own list of demands to include conditions like a nato withdrawal from eastern europe, which is simply not going to be mad. and as you said, the u. k is saying that on the basis of its intelligence, it believes that proteins playbook for a russian attack already has begun. so with all of that in mind, whether the hope of a summit now falls within the realm of naivete is lashelle puts jolts, puts it, is an open question. i am the lord stream to gas pipeline,

which is due to bring brush and gas to germany is often quoted as being germany strongest bargaining chip. mister schultz has yet to specifically put it on the table, there's not likely to change. he avoids mentioning the name of nord stream to the gas pipeline, but the fact is that he has said in no uncertain terms that there is no difference between his own position and that of his western partners. that the package of sanctions that they have agreed amongst themselves will be very tough and painful indeed. and the german foreign minister, who of course is directly under the chancellor, made it quite explicit at that security conference in munich that north stream. absolutely is part of that package. so i think whereas there may have been some initial hesitancy, some weeks ago, that is no longer the case. you crime? so a foreign minister. i attended a meeting of e u, a foreign ministers in brussels to day. what have you been hearing from that

meeting where the ukrainian foreign minister mister collaborate, called on his e, you colleagues, to consider imposition of at least some sanctions on russia. now rather than waiting for an evasion. and he said to them quite directly, it's time that the e, you walks the walk, he got some packing on that request from his lithuanian coll counterpart. but the baltic representatives of course, are feeling very, very much at risk with the russian build up so close to their own borders. however, the majority of e u foreign ministers at the meeting, opposed his suggestion, saying sanctions are punishment for action taken and shouldn't be imposed in advance. however, the foreign ministers did green light at 1200000000 euro package of loans to assist ukraine over the next year. saying that the current tensions are having a very detrimental effect on ukraine's economic stability. failure to that, which is political correspondent, belinda crime. while many young ukrainians hope for peace,

that also uncertain about how to respond. if russia does invade d. w correspondent, funny official reports from keith was more dish a very ordinary afternoon in the life of timothy and yellow slough. except nothing has been ordinary for the 2 friends growing up in a country dealing with constant conflict with its neighbour, russia. they are 19 and 18. a rocket launcher and a ukrainian flags serve as decorations. both are patriotic, they say. but are they willing to defend ukraine? yes, sir, the awful i was thinking about this. i plan to join, not the army, but volunteers because we have a very big volunteer force of a liquor voluntary sca cilla team. if he wants to go to the front line in the paramedics unit on like his friend paula yellows, i ship shop which nice. i think if a big war starts, i will have to leave the country. but i don't want to do this,

but i don't think i'll have any other alternative to hold on with our younger. don't wish my level did you see them back in 2014 timothy. and yet us laugh where too young to understand the ukranian revolution and the subsequent annexation of crimea by russia. today, they are old enough to join the army. what would you do in case of a wall? a much debated question among young ukrainians these days. and there is no clear answer, according to one recent opinion poll only about half of adults on the 3rd, he would stay and resist, while the other half would move to another region or go abroad. anything collaboration onto who shed ski who carries out surveys among the generation says the current aggression is forcing young people to make clear what kind of ukraine they want. i thought that it would be with the absolute majority, even of younger generation. see you quinn is a part of european union. that is, i probably will, don't want to fight against russian army, but at the same time they love you, graham, and they want to loop an independent ukraine. timothy and yet us love read

a lot about the history of ukraine and russia these days to better understand what snacks will itself. sure. so that the recently, i was thinking that if we look back on the russian empire and the soviet union times a fish, it appears that we would not find a single generation of young people when ukraine, whose life was not ruined by russia. done those really well and this is unfair, this furniture we do, our best serve, the next generation can do better, myrtle more say shall. oh, that's doable cleaners will aggression they don't know what will happen in the coming days between russia and ukraine. but they know what they want a stable future. okay, is look at some more stories that making headlines around the world, starting in switzerland. my credit suites bank is facing obligations that it managed hundreds of millions of dollars linked to suspected war criminals. autocrats and drug famous claims come from an international media investigation

what do you need? what makes sense? how can we be involved in this emissions m in in mile you to foster security? now, of course, germany has to extend its mandates for the bond is very for the german army to aches the, to, to actually do these missions in may. and so that is by clarified are stein my a will feed back some of the information that he will be getting here in the car from his partner's back to the german government and also to german parliament. so that they can make an informed decision from protest i my has said that germany does t, it's role is slightly different from that of france. but at the same time, he's also said that germany, of course, has to make sure that the lives of a german soldiers are not put out to me at risk covered as well as part of this trip. the president asked you to visit the side where you will help study,

go build up one of just 3 co production of duck covered vaccine production plans on the african continent. yet president stine, my actually it the stress, the fact that this trip is only the 1st in his new period in offers. he was re elected merely a week ago. and already this trip is taking him to senegal because he says it is so vital to get this moving. president time, i was one of the 1st who, what back when of it 1st hit europe as well as that axis to vaccines for africa is vital to get out of the pandemic world wide. and of course, germany was one of the most active donors as well in the kovak sniffs initiative. but now we've reached a point. so stein maya, where it's not just about distributing vaccines from europe to africa. it's about how to foster production here by african companies. and that is where biotech,

the german company comes in, germany is supporting that project where biotech willis and essentially send containers where m r a nay vaccines can be produced here, also in conjunction with african partners. now the topic of patent waivers is not so much on the agenda here. germany has positioned itself very clearly against that, saying that would only post the risk that other continents would benefit, not africa, which is why they're now stressing the fact that by and take comes here with the idea to also transfer some of the knowledge. some of the know how so that here in senegal, but also in ronda and possibly gonna, vaccines can actually be produced, m r n a. not just to fight, prove it, but also other diseases. ok, 5 d, w, putting, corresponded in a half an inductor. the only con corona virus bearing to sweat through man comes to the bridge and are seeing all infections and death rates of thousands of people in

brazil are still dying. every week. pandemic rules are largely unenforced, and few people follow them. the 1st year corolla marcellus administered to more than $15000.00 doses. she is convinced that defects here is the only way to control the pandemic. although the unvaccinated r a minority in brazil, the represent 88 percent of current hospitalizations in the country, working on different names. she had witnessed the skepticism of many ancient re a lot of people are coming to get back to it for the 1st time. now, while some are even taking the 4th adults, many are only coming now because they had an uncle or a sister, or someone close to them who got the virus and developed a complication or is integrated. and that has made them realize the importance of

i've seen last month mercer recorder to the highest a number of new infections. since the outbreak of the pandemic, even surpassing the deadly picks up the 1st and 2nd, the weights almost 100 percent of those cases where it cost by the army crime strain. despite the increasing numbers of no infections in brazil here in rio de janeiro, almost nobody worse, a face mask in the streets and bias security measures are poorly respected when you are in brazil, you feel that no matter the numbers somehow here many people are still living in the world before the damage after 2 years of coffee, the brazilians are tired of restrictions, but relaxing measures could lead to an explosion. infections
