[000:00:00;00] hi, this is dw news live from berlin. below to mir zalinski says he's willing to consider neutral status for ukraine. with a russian invasion in a 2nd month ukraine's president says negotiators are carefully studying the issue, a central one to russia, security demands at coda. when's the best picture award if the oscars, but an on stage slap stuns the audience?

actor will smith unexpectedly hit chris rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about smith's wife. also coming up. israel host historic talks with the us and for arab neighbors in focus, regional security. and the threat posed by around ah, next by sir, welcome to the program. president volota may zalinski says he's open to negotiating a potential neutral status for his country. in an interview with several independent russian news organizations which the kremlin banned from publication inside russia. so lensky said his team was carefully studying moscow's demand for ukrainian neutrality. he said that the issue would have to be put to a referendum. it comes as ukrainian intelligence service warns that russia is trying to split the country into after more than

a month of fighting key remains in ukrainian hands, though, increasingly scarred by war. but even those whose homes have been destroyed, believe that victory as possible with enough help. what doesn't this of the war? everything depends on how our western friends help us with the we will win. if we get lots of help at us, we will win soon. as it struggles to make advances on the ground, russia has ramped up its bombardments. much of her heave, just 50 kilometers from the russian border, already lies in ruins. it was ukraine's 2nd largest city. now half of its residents have fled. thousands of those who remain have taken refuge in underground train stations, hiding from rushes heavy shelling in the besieged city of mary. u paul, the situation is even more dire. food and water are scarce and local,

say they've had to bury their dead and make shift graves. ukraine's president is carefully considering how to best and the suffering ballade. amir zalinski said his team was studying russia's demand for ukrainian neutrality. and that the issue would have to be put to a referendum. a good idea is up was security guarantees and neutrality. non nucular status of our country. we are ready to go for it. that's the most important point. it was the main point for the russian federation. that's why they started this war . funny. zebulon, not even on sunday ukrainian authority, said an agreement had been reached with russia on a humanitarian court or out of mary you, paul giving residence the chance to try and reach safety. those who do make it out may well join the ever growing number of refugees like these crossing into romania via ferry and for the latest on ukraine were joined buddy debbie correspondent, funny for char in the western city of levine finney, president soleski is now talking about

a potential neutral status for ukraine in exchange for security guarantees. would any guarantees from moscow be credible? that's a really good question. a given the situation here on the ground and all what ukraine has been through since february 24th. all the bombardments across the east and the southern, but also northern parts of ukraine and also he and of it just a couple of days ago. so difficult to answer. but also, if you just look back on history, there's the minced agreement in 2014, which was supposed to bring an end to the war, ended on bus region. that did not happen. that mince agreement was signed by russia . it was signed by a crane. but this is very out politic is on the ground right now. instead of bringing peace to don boss of this escalated even further with his full scale invasion of every 24th president, the landscape from his perspective says, is only going to be peace if russia forces with all the questions just fall far.

that wasn't really clarified because he actually said they should redraw to word they way. and now this could be only the dom best region, but you also make clear is not going to be peace without a ceasefire. so a lot of things that are quite catchy and even if was journalist, it's so difficult to translate what the actual a deal breaker would be here. just imagine how hard it will be for these 2 and negotiation teams. the delegation of russia and ukraine to actually come to terms to something that they then can put forward to their audiences, which is ukraine here, and russia in the neighboring country. and you were mentioning the don bass region and those minsk agreements and the negotiations that broke down they were seen as a way towards peace. and could that be a way out of the war is sacrificing and don been seen as potentially the way forward person zalinski in that 90 minute interview that he had with russia journalist,

he made it clear that he's not going to basically force a force be to retake all russian occupied territories. now the largest chunk of that is the don bus region. having said that, it clearly implies that he may would want to have a compromise over that region, which is a very difficult question. he sat actually that interview how that compromise is. going to be reached, but he's putting it all day or as a way to find the way around all of this and to bring an end to the war. because what you on the line in that interview as well, he wants to decrease that the is more a bloodshed that they are more casualties and that this war is, is prolonged by such but by more months, more weeks to con. so yes, it is definitely a central point. you don't bus region, but the question really is, but a people will accept that presents lensky in ukrainian, in a different interview. design for the ukranian audience said yesterday, they definitely want several referendum about anything that may bring

a change to the territory here. and he also said that he wants to prioritize the territorial integrity of ukraine. so a lot of conflicting messages there. if you ask me, we'll have to see why these people will bring that are supposed to start today in turkey. ok, the ws funny to char in the v, thanks so much. russia's invasion is taking a heavy tool on ukraine's jewish communities. holocaust memorials near kirk, even chief, have been badly damaged by the russian military. and earlier this month, a holocaust survivor was killed in a rush, an air strike. now elderly ukrainians who survived the nazi occupation 70 years ago are being brought to germany for safety. the air left is being organized by the jewish claims conference set up after world war 2, to see compensation for victims of nancy persecution. ukraine is home to an estimated 10000 holocaust survivors,

or more than half of ukraine's children have been displaced by the war. with huge implications for their development and education. some ukrainian teachers are trying to keep up the school routine using the internet to teach children scattered across europe. we met a young school girl who fled to germany, but still attending classes run from back home in ukraine. it's 8 o'clock in the western german city of bon. yes, no way. the 1st lesson of the day is starting for nasha harper, you, it's an online last you normally she would be in here at her school right now. but at the beginning of march, she had to flee ukraine together with her family because of the war, said to her little of a different as it is quite important to stay in touch with teachers and classmates . we all need that in the situation. that way we get to see how all of us are doing that way. everyone knows that i'm doing well, said overdraft amber issue was knowledge show shifted over here today,

alina trots, is giving the lesson before the war began. they could all be at school together. now, most of her classmates are scattered all over europe. that's why elaina teaches them digitally. she's still in, keith. should say, never specially out of the me, it's dangerous to stay at home. you know, you're not sure what you're, he can well yeah, but teaching the children distracts me from the reality we live in your home. is that not what i would like to close my eyes and wake up in another life. but unfortunately, that is not possible with the call here from nascar, along with her sister and mother has been placed with a host family in germany. this gives them security for the time being, nevertheless, like thousands of ukrainian children. the kids are now missing important lessons at

school. that's why they'll soon be enrolled in germany until then online lessons helped them yet, but it was name. if i do exercises with them, i paint with them, we carve and glue. we make all kinds of art work. i knew you know, orca, you may have what is i this gives them strength. it gives them courage and also confidence. when for the future you guys you said that the you're still in the us. no, no, no, no. my book, you in sales for doing the shopping to day. the close of sinks for is a nasty, is in germany, her classmates in poland, the check republicans, lavinia, but her teacher manages to reach them all. germany is considering installing an anti missile shield system based on the israeli iron. don't model chance. they're all actual, says berlin is considering buying a defense system from israel, known as arrow. it is capable of destroying approaching long range, ballistic missiles high above the earth. the iron dome system is designed for lower

flying short range missiles similar to nato's patriot system, which germany already deplores. chancellor schultz revealed the plans were under discussion in a major interview sunday and on germany's public television. shelby focus, i've decided not to disclose the details of a plan that has not yet been finalized, but i can tell you that this is certainly one of the things we are discussing and for good reason. and for more on this, i'm joined by political correspondent or julio. so it deli, julia, chancellor, all our shorts is confirming that germany might deploy the iron. don't tell us more about his thinking on the issue if you would. yes. as we've heard in that sound bite from charles, he has remained vague. he did not want to disclose any details as to what is being discussed at the moment. but he did confirm that there are discussions going on. and as we've seen from reporting from a germany's build daily, it seems like

a system that germany is focusing on that would be considered good for germany, is the arrow 3 system and, and this is what is being discussed right now according to build the system would have a cost of around $2000000000.00 euros and would be able to be deployed starting in 2025. now, the radar system that would come with this or defense defense system would be a station in 3 different parts of germany. and then the data collected by the rater would come to one central military analysis point where a soldiers would check for any, any threats coming up from, from afar. and at that point to the arrow missile could be deployed to destroy any incoming missiles, up her high above, above germany, and destroy it there. so this is what is being discussed at the moment,

apparently. ok, but julie, if we look at the geography, germany has known borders, all of those neighboring countries are friendly allied countries. so is this a bit unusual for the country to feel the need to defend itself in this way? i think this shows how worried that the government officials in germany are of the threat that russia represents at the moment now shows has again, in this interview said that needle will not be involved in the war. in ukraine. nato will stay out of it, but he also said that germany and its neighboring countries now have to consider russia as a country that is ready to use of violence and force to push forward its interests and that germany on its neighbors should protect themselves and try to avoid that, russia goes against other countries in the region, and that's why these considerations of missile defense systems are coming into play . you know,

and understandably charged results. also talk about the controversial issue of germany's oil and gas purchases from russia. what did he say there? so he confirmed germany's plant, the start pulling out of russian fossil fuels. germany is strongly dependent that the moment on those fossil fuels for it's for it's for the country. and if the plan is to pull out of a coal and oil improves already by the end of this year, it will take longer for gas. but the plan is to work to find alternative sources of gas. so that in the coming years, germany can become independent, also a from russian gas. what shots ruled out is an embargo on russian fossil fuels. starting now he said that would trigger a big, big economic crisis and germany and that the plan is really not feasible. all right, did of use julia. so deli reporting for us. thanks for that. the american

secretary of state anthony been cut lincoln as meeting with his counterparts from israel and for arab countries to discuss reviving a 2015 deal to limit iran's nuclear program. the start at the negative summit was over shouted by an attack by so called islamic state, the so called islamic state in these really city of darrow to gunman open fire before being shot dead by police. and for more on that i am joined by dw corresponded, tanya came a in a stable cat in the negative desert act. the summit tenure, the so called islamic states as it was behind an attack in israel does. did that overshadow the summit? is it overshadowing it now? well, it's certainly a has over set it at the beginning of the summit on sunday evening. the foreign minister here where informed about this intact to have all a condemned it. it's actually a boring trend in israel. it's a 2nd time that this happened and attack claimed by the so called islamic state,

and israel and the israeli prime minister also said this is a new situation that israel has to deal with here and tell us how significant this meeting is between israel and top diplomats from for arab countries and the united states in israel when it comes to, well as he already has, i'm sad. it's unprecedented that we have those foreign ministers coming together here in this house of israeli and steve, okay, just here behind me and this hotel, it's the foreign ministers of the u. s. the u. e. morocco, bahrain, egypt. and of course, israel is the host that is in fact the implementation of the so called abraham courts or denomination agreements. and that process started in 2020 the was signed under the previous year as administration with the help of the previous years administration under donald trump. and also it's significant. i have to say that each of this year, of course, that's the longest piece part. now of israel's now relations had cooled down over

the past 2 years, and we're seeing that there warming up again. of course is also criticism. not all the countries in the region are following or supporting. the snow monetization a process and some say this is actually at the expense of the palestinians, but it is. it symbolizes a new alliances in the region and the changing political landscape. and could you tell us tenure what the americans were really the key player to the ran nuclear deal, having left it and coming back to it, what are they hoping to achieve here? well i think it's also to re engage in the region as has appeared to know to be not so active. he and i think the countries that are gathered to you today that one, some reassurance of us and to have a lot to talk about. no, we don't know the details that you want to get some statements after the meeting for bi lateral new things very morning and then you know,

all the ministers are coming together and then there will be some statements. so they have not to talk about from trade it to the economy. but also you just mentioned that iran just one of the key issues expect it to be one of the key issues. and of course, the nuclear agreement. we're not sure that the negotiations ongoing and then of course, whether there will be a conclusion office deal or not to expect some re insurances, because a lot of concerns you about it. and they also hearing from israeli officials here that they're hoping to somehow put some security coordination together against threats in the region, mainly you a, these or a piracy in the red feed. we are hoping to hear, of course, more about that one said the meeting has concluded a thanks so much with women's rights activists in afghanistan have called for name wide protest. if the taliban failed

to re open girls, secondary schools. within a week, thousands of girls returned to classes on wednesday after the taliban reopened schools for the 1st time since seizing power last august. but just hours later, the hard line is list closed the schools again. that was followed by some less highly publicized curbs on women's activities. scenes like these women participating in public life are set to become increasingly rare. as bit by bit the taliban appears to be returning to the heart rule of the 1990s. the new restrictions include gender separation in amusement parks and ban on women flying without a male guardian. those haven't hit the headlines like the taliban surprised decision not to open secondary schools for girls earlier this week. but these women are not prepared to just accept this creeping oppression groups like the afghan women's organization for peace and freedom called on the taliban to reverse their decision,

which they say was both illegal and illogical. i had one. we got on the official thought, this, let me get more of a garrison to fear. almighty allah, an entirely re open the doors of go the schools by the next the schools should not be closed anymore because people can no longer tolerate such operation. we cannot accept unexcused from the authorities in this regard. the move has enraged the international community, which has been reluctant to recognize the taliban, ron government since it swept into power last august. they were waiting outside, their school was but the gates were closed and they were crying. they were trying to media, they were trying to, they patterns that why is it happening to them? just because they're got is why can't they be studying? why can't they be learning? why on the receiving their education? nobel peace prize winner malala you so so i went on to call for the taliban to be refused diplomatic recognition until girls education is restored. so that the

aspirations of young female engineers like these afghan students are not doomed to remain nothing but dreams. and earlier we spoke to pakistan and dirani, a woman's activist and director of the non profit group learn afghanistan. we asked her what it will mean for afghan society if 50 percent of the population can't receive an education. did is a growing population still, you won't have goods in school. that means no doctors and hospitals. that means no gynecologist in the hospital that needs more women will be losing themselves to port hemorrhage to black laws, which means no more teachers in school, which means a growing population back, no demand being met. that's the 1st thing. the 2nd thing is shrinking off public speeches for women that need women who could actually access these public spaces. when that happens, we did better with their family members in these types of pieces are now unable to do that last but not only did our women who don't have any b, t, r, or anyone who would take them out of the country. they are the only one store

credit winners and they cannot leave the country all go back to their home, including me just because of the color. one thing that women cannot fly alone. the 2022 oscar. it's wrapped up in los angeles with the best picture award going to koda a feel good family drama, from the streaming service apple tv plus. but the ceremony was overshadowed by this unscripted moment of violence between 2 stars. ah, we'll smith got up on stage and slapped chris rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about smith's wife, j pink smith. the actor then went on to win his 1st oscar for best ask actor for his performance as richard williams in king. richard i let's go to los angeles now and talk to journalist k j matthews, k j. thanks for joining us. this has to be an oscar 1st. tell us what happened

between chris rock and will smith you will 1st of all, you're absolutely right. it is an oscar 1st. it's a 1st for everyone. i've been covering hollywood for nearly 2 decades, and i've never seen anything like this and i've seen a lot in hollywood, but nothing like this. you know, it was a joke. chris rock is a comedian, so people expect to see him. joking when he gets on stage to present the war and tonight was no different really. except he made a joke at j to peak at smith's expense. now, many people may not be aware, but gina peacock smith suffers from a hair loss condition called alopecia. she's talked about it publicly, i think back in 2018 is when she came out and revealed it. and so to night, when chris rock said something about her being in the film a g, i jane, he was obviously making comment about her bought head and it didn't go over well with will smith. so he took to the stage, punched chris rock and then took a seat when chris rock them. wow, you know, i just been punched by will smith. that's when will smith said, you know,

keep my wife's name out of your bleeping mouth twice. extremely lough, so everybody in the theatre just went silent. they were shocked. i think a lot of people were just trying to figure out, is this part of it that the ratings are that the oscars are doing because of low ratings in the past? so they're trying to mix it up a little bit and they're all in on it. it's all fine. but then as time went on, there were a lot of people in the theories said will smith was extremely upset and that people were coming to him during various commercial way. people like then they're washington and tyler perry in his age. and so that's when people started to realize, oh this is not plan, this is very real and it, we just kind of off the rails from there. okay, and can you just tell us, i mean, an incredible moment of drama? i think we can understand how husbands, you know, willing us to, to defend his wife who's suffering from a medical condition. i guess we'll see what the internet says about it. but if we can just move on to the movies here for a 2nd, let's talk about the other where starting with the best picture going to coda,

a film with mostly deaf rafters. yet what's all that about? you know what, they won 3 important awards. first things 1st with kodak, troy cops, or one for best supporting actor. he is the 1st death actor to win, and that just remarkable. so he won, made history to night, of course, quote again one for best adapted screenplay. and then lastly, as you said, they want for best picture, and that is significant. you know why? because i'm every single year. the streaming services tend to pick up more and more oscar nominations at 1st. i think like 5 or 6 years ago, people didn't really take the streamer seriously and didn't know whether or not they were really of fail when he came to film categories in the oscar tonight. apple tv with coda one. it's 1st oscar award in the best picture category. that means that no other streaming service has one for best picture until tonight. so another 1st kj matthews from los angeles. thank you for your insight on this year's

oscars. thank you. several cities across europe have held concerts to raise awareness, as well as money for ukraine. the most recent was in milan, italy, where hundreds of people gathered in front of the cathedral for a save you crane charity concert. it followed one in prag check republic with performances from imagine dragons and fat boy slim. both concerts were broadcast across multiple countries, encouraging people to donate what they could to the people of ukraine. our time for sports now and max for stop and has won the saudi arabian grand pre coming out on top. after a tense head to head with ferrari, driver shout with tear raining world champion. ver, stop and started from forth on the grid. while the clare lined up on the front row, besides sergio paris, incisive moment came late on in the race when they're stopping over, took the class to move into the lead with just for laps remaining. the dutchman
