some massive invasion force ready to attack, want to take an hour to nato h q, where i'm joined by r d w. corresponding to terry schultz. terry nato. secretary general. yes, dalton berg, alluding to russian pressure, not going away. what does this mean for the alliance? well, lately you heard the secretary general refer to what he called a new normal. and he has explained this before as well. that due to russian actions due to this enormous build up and the feeling of insecurity that has it has created throughout the alliance. that this may be a long term situation. that even if the current crisis could be deflated just a bit, that the tension will not go away. and that's why the secretary general explained that nato would be moving more forces into eastern europe along the eastern flank. we expect to see in the coming weeks a new nato battalion going to romania, led by the french, and possibly deployments of that sort and other eastern european allies as well. and this is also a message to moscow, of course, that if you wanted a kremlin before nato to go further away from earth borders,

immediate short term, i found that neck out, it only corresponded nick connelly in khaki as join the r d w chief international their editor, richard to walker for more analysis of the last couple of days. events at welcome richard at 2 sets of troop withdrawals announced now by russia is, is too early to breathe a sigh of relief. yeah, i think it is phil too early into the comments that we've had from, from western leaders have been very cautious about this. was a lot on the line for the president of the european commission speaking just earlier this morning, saying that nato has seen no evidence so far of these ostensible troop withdrawal. so there'll be a lot of poring over satellite imagery of the next 2448 hours to see whether those withdrawals are really taking place where those troops, if they are on the move where they are, where are they going to? are they going back to places or are they going to move simply to other 4 forward positions where they could still pose a threat? and other developments continue to take place, which are more escalade trees. for instance, the russian parl

ah, r d w science correspondent derek williams has been monitoring development since the beginning of the pandemic, and answering your questions if you're vaccinate it or recently recovered, how long will this protection last in and what if you're vaccinated and recovered? youtube, you are saber has a question about that. ah, how effective is hybrid immunity? oh, okay. before we go any further, let's define this term. and my spring researchers began reporting on a phenomenon that they'd spot, which was that people who've been infected with sars, covey too. and then subsequently been vaccinated appeared afterwards to have kind of a, a turbocharged immune response to the virus with extremely high anti body levels. and they called it super immunity. and it was often postulated that super immunity was the strongest, longest lasting defense you could have against contracting the virus again, or at least for a good long while. then with the advent of the delta variance and and even more so since i'm a chron head, we began seeing many more breakthrough infections. so that people who had one

joined by 2 of my colleagues are political correspondent, nina hossa and roman contra rankel from r d. w's, russia, ukraine, and eastern europe. department rama, let's start with you. how do you assess the situation? now? there are others reports of a troop withdrawals. we've also seen pictures. how reliable is this? well, things are changing very fast to day, so we're getting mixed singles. signals from russia. on the one hand, russia is saying we are ready to continue the diplomatic dialogue over you crying and with nato countries as well. on the other hand, or the russian parliament has just voted for a document. asking president putin to recognize of the separatist republic or republics in eastern ukrainian don't ask in the hands. this would be a major escalation. and it could be a, something of a pre stage for a possible invasion light. i would say. so if russia would sent a weapons and troops to those reasons, so very dangerous, very conflicting signals there. also the ukranian foreign minister has just made an interesting statement. let's listen to that 1st. you know, we have manage

r d w. washington bureau chief ynez poll. thanks so much for that update. you're watching d. w news. if you're just joining us now. we are recapping the latest development on the 2nd day of russia's invasion of ukraine. kremlin officials, a president vladimir putin, is ready to send a delegation to bela ruth, 4 talks with ukraine. that announcement was made as the e you revealed it will freeze personal assets linked to putin. the news comes as ukrainian forces continue to battle with russian troops on the edge of care of the streets of the capital remain largely deserted after another night of attacks. it prompted many people to take shelter in underground metro stations. and apartment building was also partially destroyed over night. the ukraine said it shot down to russian missiles and a fighter jet over the capital. the ukrainian government also saying 137 people have been killed since the invasion began. and hundreds more have been injured. a t s hi. thank you for taking the time. tell us about the situation where you are now . i understand that you are actually on your w

well, joining us at the munich security conference is r d t is d w's, chiefly decal editor, mckayla kutner. hi, good to see you mckayla. now you as president joe biden, is that convinced that russia will launch an invasion of ukraine? there was a cold between biden and his trans atlantic partners last night. what more can you tell us? well that there is yet more levels of concern, and we understand that was a readout of that cool. a basically calling on russia to de escalate. but i think the final sentence in that report really does resonate with what i'm hearing. it is the west talking to itself at the munich security conference. and rasa basically is taking actions. and that's also at seeing the german and the french foreign ministers on lena bear. book on towing the la t r. and basically say that the build up of heavy weaponry that, that constitutes a breach of the minsk agreement at that is really the west taking a risk because the overarching question is, when is the point reached? where the west, where nato, where native part is not nato as an institution, where the us would take som

and said, russia had drawn false equivalence between r t, germany and d, w basing her argument on responsibility for content. she said quote, d, w is an independent organization. this means that unlike our tea, russia today, the german state does not exert any influence on programming. and germany's foreign ministry said moscow's measures had no basis of whatsoever. a spokesman also firmly rejected the comparison between door to villa and broadcaster rti. and in fact, foreign minister under lena bear buck already conveyed that message to her russian counterpart, sergey love rough. when she visited in january and she pointed out that because of the central role that state media had played under the nazi regime, no broadcaster, that is an official arm of the state can obtain a license under german media law. and, well, german russian relations of course, already pretty 10 said the ukraine stand off has put chancellor shells in a difficult position with germany's allies. hasn't it? absolutely tensions have been building ever since the annexation of crimea. and starting with a major cyber attack on

and they too firmly rejected this comparison between d, w and r t. and as you know, d, w is a public interest broadcaster financed by taxpayer funds, but in no way answerable to the german government. whereas russia today is a state broadcast or in fact, foreign minister barbara, the german foreign minister, had conveyed that message to are russia counterpart when she visited moscow in january. saying that because of the central role that the state media played during the nazi era german law benz licensing aid, unofficial state broadcaster the all this comes at a time with german russian, russian relations really not very good rod. absolutely. even before the latest tensions over ukraine tension had been building and there's a long list, starting with a major cyber attack on the bonus talk in 2015, which was proved to have originated with russian hackers. also cyber attacks on leading german politicians. and then in 2019, we saw the murder of attraction, national accused by the russian government of having a been involved in violence. he was murdered
