. another attack and violence players again in israel. a gunman kills 5 people in a televised suburb for being shot dead. it's the latest in a spate of deadly attacks that have shaken the country. ah, i bring off is good to have you with us. we start tonight with what appears to be the 1st steps towards peace in ukraine. russia today announced plans to drastically reduce its military activity in northern ukraine, including near the capital key and a face to face meeting. now between both president, putin and president, zalinski is now being discussed, but western countries, they are skeptical warning. this could be a move to by russia's military, more time before the next big attack. a tense atmosphere and turkey with so

much at stake. ukrainian and russian negotiators hold there 1st in person talks in 2 weeks. previous negotiations in belarus and online have struggled to achieve lasting results. but the mood off to this round appeared cautiously optimistic, musica letting the most significant progress since the beginning of the talk center was made today. the ukranian delegation said it is prepared to accept neutral status and not to host foreign military within its borders. this prompted a promising response from the russian side. they invasion, the russian defense ministry has made the important decision to decrease military activity. several fold in the direction of cave and shanna have to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations. in exchange for neutrality and in place of nato membership, keep proposed

a framework for other countries to act as security guarantors. these guarantees will be legally binding and allow those countries to intervene if ukraine is attacked in the future. the delegation also stressed that any arrangement would need to be supported by the ukrainian people in a referendum, but they warned that no treaty could be signed and no referendum held while russian troops are still in ukraine. questions on more difficult topic, still remain notably on the status of east and rebel territories of don yet. and lou penske, while president zalinski has previously indicated a willingness to compromise on the matter. the ukrainian delegation was clear. oh, because it's the position of ukraine does not change. we recognize the international boat as of ukraine as of 1991. there are no compromises or red lines here. jordan, confirmation should one either change. delegates suggested these questions will be

addressed at a high, a level opening the door for potential talks between presidents, zalinski and fusion inside the market. yet, even as talks are underway, shelling continues footage from tuesday morning captured the moment that a russian rocket struck an administrative building in mc alive, killing at least 7 people. a timely reminder of the high stakes behind these negotiations. if a more now we want to good or corresponded doria jones? he is in ist and bold to night or, and it's good to see you. help us understand what we're seeing here. we got ukraine saying that it would adopt a neutral status in return for security guarantees. is this in line with what russia is demanding? well, russia hasn't given any formal response to these. what was discussed in this tuesday

meetings? i mean, to be honest, is a lot of ambiguity over the nature of the guarantee the status of the ukrainians are demanding from these 8 countries which include poland, turkey, and israel. and what would be the nature of how they would protect you crate if it was attacked again, i need the, the, the crane delegation were unclear to one della, one member of the delegation said it would be like nato, they where be an attack on one is an attack on all which would mean that all 8 countries would have to presumably and come militarily to the support of ukraine. but another, a delicate sir suggested that possibly it would just be a, an air, a no for a no fly zone will be established over ukraine, and arms will be supplied to the country. so it's the, these technicalities and fine details which probably would shape moscow's response . but the key thing here at the moment is that they are talking about these key issues of resolving the conflict. and i do appear to be talking them in a serious way, which probably is the 1st time since this conflict started. yet in it prompted the

turkish armed foreign minister to day to say that these are the most stung. meaning for steps, progress steps that we have seen of since the start of negotiations. abby, would you agree with that? and i mean, we're not coming very far to begin with our we what exactly how it goes. it doesn't say much at all because the previous meetings achieve very little indeed. so any progress is going to be significant. but having said that, there does appear to be a different mood following these talks. the music mood is much more positive. both delegations are saying that the talks were positive and constructive. and i think that as a reflection of what's happening on the ground in ukraine, whether ukrainian forces to appear to afford the washing forces to a standstill at least for now. so there is a stalemate, possibly, and that i think is creating a possible window of opportunity for diplomacy to resolve this conflict. wherever that, with the status in the conflict and ukraine remains, will be possibly possibly key to whether the present apparent progress continues.

and we know that russia said today that it plans to radically cut back its military activity near the ukrainian capital cheve. how is this being read, dorian? im it, is this a sign that russia is really ready to, to step back to an extent in this war? i think russia does suffer from a big credibility cap for what it says. and what it does is recall that russia was promising. it wouldn't what had no plans to invade ukraine while that proved not to be true. so i thing ukraine has a great deal of distrust over russian offers and commitments. i think the reality is that they'll be looking very carefully of what that means on the ground, whether russia is sincere, what it means. what does it mean by significant? are these major a rocket strikes and attacks gonna come to an end? and i think that what happens there will be very key to what happens going forward, whether there will be an opportunity for further progress if things approve on the

ground in ukraine. i think that that will be a very important boost to the efforts to bring an end to this conflict. and ultimately, the goal of bringing the russian and to ukrainian presidents together. dory uses the mood music right now. these talks is positive in, i'm wondering, is this building a crescendo that wall that will end in face to face talks between both presidents, ukraine in zalinski mean is that we're, we're headed? how realistic is it that we're going that see that happen? well let's be clear, i think we're all size agree that the only way this conflict is gonna end is when the 2 president sit down. now the craniums have been offering talked even before russia invaded. and moscow is refusing saying that they will only sit down when there is something tangible to discuss where there is a framework where there is not be where there's a realistic chance that there will be success. now, this is what these present talks are all about creating a framework and turkey. the took foreign ministry, a thing that they are now looking to the next step of bringing again the russian

and ukrainian foreign ministers together. if that can, if that occurs. and if there is more progressive than possibly possibly, that can create a possible meeting between the 2 presidents and a chance to bring an end to this conflict, or we have a long way to go very on doria jones is dimple with the latest. and i, dorian, thank you. on the ground in you. grey, the situation is a mixed picture. tens of thousands of civilians remain trapped in dire humanitarian conditions in the besieged port city of mario polt and in the southern city of nicholas, several people were reportedly killed when a russian missile hit a regional government building dozens more were wounded. meanwhile, ordinary ukrainian say that they have deep doubts about russia's claim that it will skill back. it's attacks in northern ukraine. lucille polos, each of that sounds good, but deal actually, i don't believe it upon the will unless he'll adorned. the question is whether they

are going to do this because they're us, these are not the 1st talks other and every time we hear the same things that they want to scale down the fighting. but in fact, they step it up. a little foolishness yet must have seen the mars. i don't think we can trust fresh out of the year or so of our model. their words are worth nothing or the most shar we believed that they would not wage a full scale invasion would up on the more stubborn if daughter than you now i don't trust, i read or yon they've either. yes. so of m. oh, we've got breaking news, a gunman on a motorcycle and israel has reportedly killed at least 5 people in the ultra orthodox city of but they break just east of televi. he was subsequently killed by police. we understand how the deadly attacks follow to similarly, violet killings and the country that we see in recent days on sunday, 2 police officers were killed in her darrow while last week for people die. do they
