i'm peter labelle, to remind you we're discussing the geneva negotiations. ah. okay, let's go back to mary in london. let's change gears a little bit, mary. what could we possibly expect after, you know, after russia gate bled in to policy? i mean, what american administration is going to make, quote unquote concessions to the russians, because it be a tend to appeasement and it's munich, and it's all these things. we hear all the time. i mean, you know, when i, you know, when i look at the negotiators there, i mean, they intentionally wanted to talk a different game completely because their hands are tied. i mean, you know, the way the, the, the trump administration was treated, we're making in treaties to russia. there's this administration isn't gonna go down that path because joe, by knows there's a lot of bins around. ok. they don't love joe biden. i mean, if they, if joe biden breaks the rules cross is a lie and he can go to mary your thoughts. i wouldn't be quite so pessimistic as you because i think one of the young, one of the differences between the bi

all of i takes a closer look at the international context of this meeting in geneva. the search for a diplomatic solution to the ongoing tensions between russia and nato, comes back to the shores of lake geneva and the heads of his meeting with the russian foreign minister. so to gala rove the us secretary of state anthony, blinking has been putting america's message to its partners directly before coming to switzerland. the u. s. foreign policy chief within lynn for full way talks with representatives of germany, france, and the united kingdom. russia is entitled to protect itself. the united states in europe are prepared to discuss russia, security concerns, and how we can address them in a reciprocal way. while the secretary of state looked to protect one voice from the 4 nations that had taken part in the talks, as he gave those remarks alongside the german 4 minister, the french president, emanuel micron told the european parliament earlier in the week that europe needs to come to its own arrangements with russia, parallel to those of nato and the united states.

putin is serious about diplomacy or war. >> james joins us now from geneva. that the russians and the americans describe these talks as businesslike and professional but did they get anywhere? >> i don't think today was ever going to be a day for breakthroughs and grand deals peered was it -- what it was was a chance for the first time for american and russian diplomats to look each other in the eye and air their grievances and set up their demands. the gap between them is huge. the americans urged the russians to pull their troops back from the border with ukraine. they got no such assurance. the russians demanded that nato promise ukraine would never become a member. the americans flatly ruled that out. diplomats will take some comfort from the fact that the talks happened. it did not break up in acrimony. they're likely to continue in the future. there was some discussion about possible areas of compromise talking about distribution of missiles and limiting military exercises. the problem is this. despite the fact that the russians repeatedly said we are n

the 2 men will meet in geneva to try and hammer out what the russians want and what the americans are willing to give. the russians have said they want an official response from the americans about their security guarantees that they want about nato. and the possibility of ukraine joining nato and it is something that is very much a red line for this country dos and jabari in moscow. thank you very much for that . let's discuss this further now with cadre leak who's a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations. and she's joining us from us as tony as capital talon. thank you so much miss league for being with us. russia has continued to raise its force levels in the last few days, a near ukraine. the americans are wanting of an attack that could be imminent. first of all, what is the likelihood of that in your view? how dangerous the situation, o e, facing right now? at good morning. well, i must confess, but none of us knows her all us be it, russia, experts we are just guessing myself. i find it unlikely that russia would attack you crane in ris manner, but pe

last week talks in geneva, brussels and vienna didn't get things much further along. on tuesday speaking, a moscow foreign minister said a gale of robe said that russia wasn't interested in just holding meetings for the sake of having meetings. but as it as a bush, unless we expressed concern about nature's policy of containment of the russian federation. and in that regard, we do attention in some detail to the initiatives that the russian side is taken to negotiate, credible, legally binding security guarantees. let me remind you that we have given such guarantees to the u. s. and members of the north atlantic alliance. we are waiting responses as we have been promised to these proposals in order to continue negotiations. it would seem that those responses were given as these talks a going ahead between this meeting being announced. and now there has been a lot of chatter about how nato, driven by the us should tackle russia with sanctions, including the possibility of cutting moscow off from the swift international payment system of from don't to run back in 2014.

that was charlotte davinsky reporting that from geneva. now let's go back to our top story because that melbourne has seen processed and supported the men's tennis number. one novak joke of h is just one. he's called battle that challenge, the cancellation of his phaser, although astride his immigration minister has now insisted he still has the power to cancel it all. it's happening just to wait for the strain open begins. and in the last hour we'll say jokers, which is family is how the press conference in melbourne. so let's talk more about that. and go to boris malik gorski, he's a, a serbian canadian journalist he was at the press conference. me appreciate your time. thanks for coming on, boris. just run through then at what was said at this press conference. just moments ago, the press conference here in belgrade at the nova restaurant new belgrade took place and nobody joke, which is family said that there is reason to be optimistic after several days of what they describe as going through hell. no joke which his mom has said that t

and next specially was the outcome of that meeting in geneva later today. i mean, ukrainians probably are quite confused about the different messages coming out of the biden administration. i, when you are a secretary of state anthony blinkin was here just 2 days ago. he was quite adamant that they will be no decision about ukraine without ukraine. so i think the authorities here would be, it would watch very closely at what is going to be said after that meeting. and then obviously these changing and shifting positions coming from president joe biden. i certainly didn't sit well here yesterday at the ukrainian president followed the mir zelinski actually treated that there was no minor incursion. there was no minor country and they were no minor casualties. that is quite clearly a rebuff to what president joe biden had said a day earlier. so i think that is that and also ukrainians want to make sure that this really doesn't turn out to be something between a do you as an russia them on, grew agreeing about the way forward when it comes to the security of e
