been forced to flee the country. and german chancellor left, charlotte says the you should begin membership talks with albania and north macedonia, to prevent russian interference in the balkans plus and on stage slap stuns the audience at the oscars axle will smith hits chris rock in the face after the comedian makes a joke about smith's wife. ah, i man you could. mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. the mayor of mario pull and southern ukraine says the city is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe, and must be completely evacuated. as soon as possible. mario pool has endured relentless bombardment from russian forces in recent weeks and mer vadim by jenko says that around 160000,

so the hands are main in the city without power. there is growing concern that the city could soon fool under russian control. meanwhile, ahead of these talks, a ceasefire talks between russia and ukraine in turkey on tuesday. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has signaled a potential diplomatic opening, saying his team was carefully studying moscow's demand for ukrainian neutrality. guaranteed because of our security guarantees and neutrality. non nucular status of our country. we are ready to go forward. that's the most important point. it was the main point for the russian federation. that's why they started this war. one is 010. said the latest where join now from the cranium capital he is by d. w correspondent, mathias spelling mathias. tell us what might a possible compromise for a ceasefire? look like for me training perspective, will

a compromise will be not where the ukraine, where you crazies the likely outcome otherwise it wouldn't be a compromise. and i wouldn't think too much about the outcome of any of these talks right now for now. i think this is decided on the battlefield and the any compromise will be reached when one of the sides feels the need to back down. and this is not what we're seeing right now. we have seen some um readiness to talk by russia that was in the beginning saying that they were the basically just saving the demands. zelinski said they were basically setting an ultimatum. um, and we see some things that says it as gas brought in this neutrality issue, but i also here i wouldn't see too much of a of a position to give in your ear said he would be ready to discuss this. but that also this had to be confirmed in a referendum,

so he would not take the responsibility for this usually unpopular a comp for comp compromise. that would be so usually unpopular. i don't see that these talks um are serving in at anything beyond keeping the channels open, trying to feel the positions. i don't think they're going to was any result at the moment. so it does make sense to talk about outcomes. it give us a sense of the situation on the ground and teeth where you are with this new round of negotiations about to start your unclear for the situation is unchanged. what we're hearing is that around the city in the north east and in the north west and in the east a yesterday there was his fighting. we could hear it here in the city that they're selling was more intense than otherwise. and it's so quite calm. now we've heard that ukrainian forces have regained some territory there. otherwise,

life is going on here. the cities has been surrounded for from about one hates a 180 degrees over half of the ring of the city is closed. since almost since the beginning of the war, so there are not so many changes and these negotiations, of course, people are following after them. and what's more important for their life now is what's going on in the fighting zones and what's going on in the places where the refugees come from. this is what people look at. not so much of these negotiations that having correspondent mathias bellinger reporting from keith, thank you. the german chancellor will have full, it's as called for you. exception talks for albania and north macedonia. to begin as soon as possible, shall it's made. the comments after a meeting with sweden's prime minister, magdalena anderson here in berlin. he said it was important that the sped up talks with the to balkan nations to prevent them being pulled into russia's sphere of

influence. charlotte's and anderson also discussed, discussed the question of swedish neutrality as the country considers nato membership. anderson said you membership ment, sweden was no longer a neutral country. his german chancellor will have shots, magdalena, and myself agree that we want to strengthen the even make it more resilient as well . the turning point in history is something that means we must achieve real progress with american union. thus, we talked about the fact that the time has come to pass the albanian and macedonian in this session will talk, begin as soon as possible. otherwise, these in both as well can, states will be vulnerable russian inferencing. and we need to strengthen our capacity in terms in a number of different ways. and the w spoke to swedish prime minister magdalena anderson after that price press conference. and we asked her about sholtes as

comments about e. accession talks with albania and north macedonia. here's what she had to say. what i mean, countries should be able to join european union when they are ready for it. and i think it's important that all countries can have a process coming closer to european and membership and, and from a swedish perspective, we have been supporting countries. for instance, ukraine add to help build their institutions to become so they could come closer to becoming members of the european union. attacking ukraine was not only an attack on ukraine, but also european security order, which means that every country can make their desist in themselves. so of course we them, we have the right to do with the decision that we think is right for our country. but of course one, the jew would do that. we have to eh, away all the different risks with the different options that we have. the situation in ronda baltic sea has change after russia, sir. invasion of ukraine. we've had a deteriorating a security situation round the baltic for a long time,

but this was really a shift would we have done from a swedish perspective during the last years is to increase our defense spending. and we, we also follow germany to go up to 2 percent of g d p. but we're also increased our bilateral, multilateral corporation. like being a partner to nate. so with a very close close corporation to woulda finland but also with the joint expeditionary force with, with other countries. and we will continue in this direction. but you also have a discussion with the other parties in parliament to analyze the situation and see what that means. for or how we will act in the future. i'm more than half of ukraine's children have been displaced to 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 now scattered across europe. we met a young school girl who fled to germany,

but it still attending classes run from back home in ukraine. it's 8 o'clock in the western german city of bon yes. now the 1st lesson of the day is starting for nasty harbor. you. it's an online lesson. 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 the don't 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 it. that way everyone knows that i'm doing well said over after number issue, liz knowledge show shifted over here to day. oh, lena 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 alina teaches them digitally. she still and keith, it ever should say,

that was placed nellie out of me. it's dangerous to stay at home here. see her? not sure what order he can were yet, but teaching the children distracts me from the reality we live in the game when you're home. is that not for them? i would like to close my eyes and wake up in another life. but unfortunately, that is not possible with the call here from, with us. nostra 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 help them yet, but it was near me, but i do exercises with them. i paint with them, we carve and glue. we make all kinds of art work, my new, you know, orca, you my, what is i this gives them strength. it gives them courage and also confidence one

for the future. guys. you said that the yes. so in that no, no, no, no, my bought new sales for doing a shopping today. the close of sinks for as of next year is in germany. her classmates in poland, the czech republic, kenslo renier, but her teacher managers to reach them all. you interior ministers have mess in brussels. the talks on how to deal with the millions of refugees fleeing the fighting in ukraine. they discussed a range of issues including the distribution of refugees across member states, as well as financial support. ministers agreed on the creation of an e. you platform to register those seeking temporary protection. poland alone has taken in more than 2000000 people from neighboring ukraine since the start of the russian invasion and dw correspondent christine manuel is covering today's meeting in brussels. christine has a decision now been reached in brussels on how it refugees from ukraine should be

distributed in the you in the future. and yet the distribution of ukrainian refugees across the united states was one of the main talking points in today's meeting. and we know that they've not agreed on anything in the sort of a quota system. so to say am, and it is still up to the member states to, to step up and voluntarily take up more migrants. what the commission has said it will do. is it would set up an index that it says i will measure a member states's or an existing burden, for example, poland having taken in the majority of record, i read refugees already as well as capacity. and on the basis of that perhaps encourage a member slate to do more at to alleviate the burden on others. they've also talked about this, distributing the refugees across each member states and, and incentivizing refugees at to leave poland as you know, poland is of course closer to home for a lot of the ukrainian women and children that have fled from

a language perspective. it's much easier to assimilate in poland. they know people there. the, the commissions message was to member states to do more, to incentivize refugees, ukraine, refugees, to come over to their territories. they've also discussed involving 3rd countries at the united kingdom be united states and canada. at to help alleviate the burden on the european union as well. i, we have to point out here that, that the flow of arrivals has reduced dramatically at, at the peak of the migration flows. about 250000 migrants. we're coming into the european union every day that numbers down to about 40000. but from the commission perspective, because of the unpredictable nature of what's going on in ukraine. these plans are now in place. so that if things deteriorate, the blocks ready to do even more and even just briefly, can you tell us any more about sanctions further sanctions was that discussed today? that's right. and when it pertains to sanctioned this,

it has to do with the bill of russian and russian nationals who are now sanctioned by the european union who are blacklisted because of the war in ukraine at the commission to member message to member states day is that those of individuals who are on that list as should have their citizenship and, and perhaps permanent residence, also revoked to be in line with those sections. all right, did other correspondence, christine, one was reporting from bus brussels. thanks so much. now israel has hosted the foreign ministers of the united states and for arab countries in a historic meeting. the summit was overshadowed by an attack by the so called islamic states in the northern city of dera. to gunman opened fire before being shot dead by police. the negative summit brought together israel and 3 of the signatories to the 2020 abraham accords. they ain't normalized ties between israel and a number of arab countries. delegates said the summit was

a step towards jointly confronting terrorism and regional threats. earlier i spoke to nimrod gore and he's the founder and head of mit fin, the israeli institute for regional foreign policies in jerusalem. i began by asking him what made this summit so very different to other meetings? this is a very unique, a ability he's, he's not, you're in hosting solid with multiple log prominent politicians and figured it was a very womack most very positive agenda. we were flaming it on potential corporation in multiple fields. yes. also security, but also to promote big issues and again on the kitchen. once you've done a fair and presented a very good, a potential for the future. is it ok? all right, now we're gonna take a listen to some comments made by anthony blinking. and then i'm going to come back to you to hear your views. as we do, we have to be clear that these regional piece agreements are not

a substitute for progress between palestinians and israelis. one of the issues we discussed today was how countries involved in the abraham accords and normalization, as well as those that have longstanding diplomatic relationships with israel can support the palestinian authority in the palestinian people in concrete ways. how the abram, the cord signed in 2020 are a signal of normalization. but doesn't they completely bypass the palestinians when they did the language between de shoes and lag database initiative, which was actually presented 20 years ago to day we che. but the condition for normalization between these and an up countries in getting further to stay in solution with the bit of statements. so we don't see that happening with see countries moving ahead with that initiative with ease and without 2 state solution becoming near baghdad, invitation that is the patient of egypt to today's sammy, to reflect and willingness, perhaps, to link and beat these 2 together. and most of the speakers today spoke about the

need to move forward on the but a seen him track. this is a challenge because some countries i'll think about their bilateral ties at the moment, but to post bits of playing it is an older one is ation into the scale easily. but it's and peacemaking is what needs to be done. the, let me put it in, coffee cannot be avoided. it impact is as well being to put a stand well being. it produces security challenges. and i think all countries where to day meeting and to make every, including the americans, should 9 out what up to leave and think how to utilize what happened today. also to the benefit of he's everybody seen him peacemaking. now natalie bennett says that he is not reviving piece talks with the palestinian and so ah israel and the palestinians actively pursuing peace in any way. right now. they have very different position within the very government and if they bennett her verified provision, the also supported and especially in the past. and on the contrary repeated the

body of the 2 st solution. although do not believe feasible. paul, this is a possible height now, and i don't think the government or even multiple b and more committed to advance to the pollution so day to make to provision than what it leads to is lack of official political negotiation, but adoption of context on the need to enable between figures in both government, which is good, but far from being enough to go in the abraham records allows israel to strengthen regional security against iran. what else is it guessing out of it? the curate is one day, ma'am sandy. it's about the rounds about coordination, i don't even it's 30 degrees. but dog in kid trade a being re toy them to new hiv enables the culture in a change and cooperation that climate, the energy. so it's a multitude of positive agenda that are now being advance, which is important because in the path,

especially if you look at the lation between even in egypt, for example, it was more about security multi behind the scenes. and now it's more about to be an economy and much more in the open and that normalizes. not only the relationship but also the essence of being in contact. and when i have any very public feedback leaders interact and such a positive way, i hope it will trickle down enable border interaction and positive communication between the society the doctor. then we're going to admit that the israeli institute for regional foreign policies in jerusalem. thanks. so much for speaking to d, w. thank you. now a feel good family film coda was named best picture at the oscars in a surprise when making it the 1st streamed film to pick up the prize. but the most memorable moment of the ceremony was an outburst of violence from one of hollywood . biggest stars aren't to will smith gossip on stage and slapped comedian chris rog in the face. it was the year's biggest night in hollywood with

a star studded line up the academy awards honoring the film industry's best movies at the oscars ceremony. but the night was overshadowed by an incident on stage. comedian chris rock made a joke about act at will smith's wife, j pink at smith, who suffer strong alopecia. it didn't go down to well, taylor lover, j j him to can't wait to see you. ah, oh oh, wow. wow. knew it was a g. i g, angel, he mark boy. oh, yeah. a jaw dropping moment for viewers around the world. smith and then went on to win, best actor for his performance in king richard. a movie about the father of tennis,

does venus and serena williams. he apologized in his acceptance speech. your part imitates life. i looked like the crazy father lives like this is alert, crazy father, just a birth you were your own but labile make. you do crazy things. the lapd says it won't take things further. as chris rock declined to file a police report, oscars organizes tweeted that it does not condone violence. the academy also tried to show off its diversity compared to previous years. appletv coda took the spotlight starring death actors in leading roles. it won best picture mocking the 1st time a streaming service took home the film award. what to do next of the power of the dog, which lead 12 nominations picked up on jane canyons directing when

jessica chastine landed best actress for her role in the eyes of tammy faye logo and best international film was awarded to japan's drive my car. while the asked, as was hoping to have a boost in ratings, to see as physical confrontation between 2 superstars, certainly dominated the headlines join now by scott rooks breath from the dudley culture scots. and this is gonna be an oscar 1st. what are the rig repercussions going to be? is this going to hurt or wilson? it's korea yet. we're gonna have to see. i mean, i think we're all sort of in shock. still definitely a walk the up watching this early in the morning. german time, a live on tv. i've never seen anything. anything like it. um it looks like there won't be any legal repercussions over will smith. the lapd has said that chris rockers declined to press charges has not filed a police report. so it looks like on that front,

it has an impact him or hasn't yet i was actually texting with colleagues of mine in los angeles who were at some of the after parties after the oscars on at one big one they saw will smith with his family cutting it up on the dance for having a great time. so obviously hasn't had a huge impact on him as of yet. and the academy could sanction or will smith, but so far they have declined to do so. um, and they've, even in some ways commode, appraising him, at least for his speech st, with heartfelt and so forth. and it's very difficult to see where this goes from here. and it could be that, or will smith become sort of a pri, on social media after this there's been a lot of condemnation already online for his actions. and we'll, we'll have to sort of wait and see what the long term impacts of this are. but i think that the morale still processing and all sort of brilliant shock because type of visually a slap heard round the world. we're not used to seeing this type of action at the oscars. i mean, it obviously dominates in the ceremony. but let's talk about the other when,

as and in, it's starting with best picture going to code as a film with mostly deaf actors. in a nutshell, what's the phone down here? this is in some ways to sort of classic oscar winning hollywood feel good movie. it's a story about as you see mainly the factors, the family of that people with a hearing daughter. she's a coder, a child of death, adults and it's basically a feel good story. she is discover she has incredible singing ability and then she's caught between staying with her family or going out and living her dream. so really class hollywood story was a very, very popular movie. it probably also because it's such a groundbreaking feel not because it depicts the death in such a way, but it's the 1st film from a streaming service. it's an apple tv plus film to win best picture at the oscars. that probably would have been the headline story this morning, had it not been for what happened last night with will smith and chris rock. so we had to punch in the face. we have a groundbreaking film coda. what other moments did actually?

well, i thought for some other moments like jane campion winning, one of the greatest living directors. because the 3rd only a 3rd female director to win best director for power the dog. and that was a very powerful moment. i really loved the opening musical sequence from beyond say, sing the song for king richard, which is the film it will smith one for. there were a lot of actually great moments at the oscars a last night. unfortunately, everything has been overshadowed by this single act of extreme violence on stage from from will smith, an actor that is one of the most admired and beloved a world wide. it's really, i say, i'm still completely shock for what's happened. i still do not know how to quite process it. so all in all, once you will favor out will gwyneth wu in the winners actually because it's a 2 year since we've really been back to cinema's if a coven and was shut down the film that really got me back into the movie moment was the biggest film that was nominated at 16 oscars, all the technical categories. and that's dune. that was

a huge big cinematic film that i think got people really excited about going back to movies again. and that's the film that i really love to see last year. and i was my absolute favorite and glad to see walk away. maybe not with the top oscars, but some of the the major technical ones last night. scott ross ross freshman did only like so much. you're watching the w news and his a recap of our main story. officials in mario pole say russia's siege of the city has left nearly 5000 people. dead variables may accused the russian military of committing genocide as fears. mounts the city could soon fall into russian hands. and coming up next in d, w. news, asia, china's 0 cove. it at 19 milestone shanghai and says locked down and becomes the largest ever city in china to be sealed off since the start of the pandemic. and
