will provide those services to anyone operating in the criminal economy. where conglomerates make their own laws. they invade our private lives through surveillance, hidden, opaque, secretive work. it's true was vague, it doesn't matter. the only criteria is what we'll hook people up. we shed light on the opaque worlds who's behind, whose benefits and why are they a threat to us all opaque worlds this week on d, w? ah, there was no progress made in talks to day between russia and the united states at issue ukrainian sovereignty and how that could one day possibly mean nato

membership for the kremlin. that is not an option. to night. moscow in washington are on a dangerous trajectory that could lead to war. and once again, europe is ground 0. this is vintage cold war behavior minus the threat of an all out nuclear war. to night rushes curtain call for the iron curtain. i'm brick, elephant berlin. this is the day. ah, you never, never, me comes member of nato will not allow lam closed nato's open door policy. we will never compromise on the rights for every nation in you'd have to choose his own pulse. for us to have them asked more than 100000 for the long trained order. we have no intention to invade ukraine and they can prove that in

fact, they have no intention to tie deactivating attorney for us and russia. in some ways i have it, was it views on what needs to be them? also coming up a joke of inch victory down under the tenant stars when in court, but not on court. so low this has been, holds many names in many different person countries on the world, but no one is only fighting for the liberty of choice or to our viewers watching on p b. s. in the united states into all of you round the world welcome. we begin the day with russia and the united states, falling back into an all too familiar role,

cold war enemies. today, representatives from washington to moscow met in geneva, high level diplomatic talks to diffuse. what is quickly becoming a ticking time bomb over ukraine? at issue us demands to respect the sovereignty of ukraine versus russia's demand that the u. s. show it more respect. today u. s. deputy secretary of state, wendy sherman, and her russian counterpart sat down together in geneva to diffuse. what has all the hallmarks of a cold worst and all russia has been massing troops and tanks near its border with ukraine, stroking fears of a plan invasion. no russia denies that it has any plans to invade ukraine. it is promising, however, to protect its interests, and those interests include keeping ukraine out of native today in language. echoing back to the 19 sixty's cuban missile crisis, moscow accused the u. s. a following an aggressive policy of military expansion.

the kremlin is standing by its demand that washington issued a legally binding promise that kiev will never become a member of nato. here's russia's negotiator. after today's talks. for us, it's absolutely mandatory for to make sure that you agree never, never, never becomes a member of nato. we need iron clad. what the proof bullet through the legally binding guarantees not assurances, not safeguards guarantees with all the words shell must everything that should be put in these bowls never, never becoming member of nato never ever. will the u. s. diplomat, wendy sherman, she described today's talks as constructive, but she said there were no breakthroughs over ukraine or any future security

arrangements in eastern europe where you will not allow anyone to slam closed nato's open door policy, which has always been central to vandal alliance. we will not wear go bilateral cup cooperation with sovereign state that which to work with united states. and we will not make decisions about ukraine without ukraine. about europe without your birth. not nita went out nato, wendy sherman speaking. there, nato was scheduled to have its own sit down with russia this coming wednesday here to expectations are low and the talks will take place without ukraine at the table . now, the fact that the kremlin insists on bilateral talks with the biden administration 1st. and then 2nd talks with nato. it does not help the situation today. ukraine's deputy prime minister made it clear on which side of the g o strategic divide. they want to be the your atlantic integration is enshrined in our constitution and

supported by the majority of ukrainian citizens. it's not a subject to negotiation. a bargaining aggressor is not in a position to put conditions until the russian tanks is out of ukrainian border while at the border, ukrainian soldiers have literally dug in their positions with russian troops just kilometers away. and take a look at this. this is recent footage from the don't ask region, the frontline of ukraine's 8 year conflict with pro russian separatist in these muddy trenches. there's not much hope that this week of diplomacy will make any difference, but only it's always like this. i grove, every time we have a ceasefire, it's come for a week or 2 with it and then fighting starts up again. if love with, it's like a tradition them. we have a ceasefire. thick then told than another escalation. but amelia, but of her water. what they wanted. my 1st gift tonight is samuel jeremy. he is

a former advisor on russia at the us state department. he's currently a senior political scientist at the rand corporation specializing in security and arms control in the former soviet union. he's also the author of the book, every one loses the ukraine crisis in the ruinous contest for post soviet eurasia. mrs. tariff, it's good to have you on the program you use in the title of your book ruinous. that is maybe an apt description of what the reality could be if, if this trajectory continues between russia and the us. would you agree? absolutely. i mean, i think we are potentially on the verge of the largest conflict in europe. and certainly since the wars in the former yugoslavia maybe even since world war 2 and given the nature of the russian build up. and i think that would be a ruinous outcome for certainly for ukraine 1st and foremost. but for russia in the

west as well, i mean, the rhetoric that we're hearing immediate sounds a lot like what we heard in 1962, also 1987. but there's one huge difference. just last week, china france the u. k. and the u. s. and rush assigned a joint statement reaffirming their commitment to preventing nuclear war, saying we affirm that nuclear weapons should serve only for defensive purposes and to prevent war a mr. chair that is reassuring, but the timing of this statement that they sign this statement last week. that leaves me somewhat nervous. what about you? well, i think the timing of it is mostly linked to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty review conference that was scheduled for the early part of this year. i wouldn't

read too much into that. that formulation was also used in the us russia presidential joint statement after president by an important met in geneva that happens in june. that is a nuclear war. kathy, one must not be fought. but, you know, frankly, i think the, in this situation in the crisis around ukraine, right now, the risk of a us russian conflict is really less immediate than a russia ukraine conflict. now that could escalate out of control and eventually involve the u. s. but there, you know, a bunch of steps that would have that would come in between fighting and in eastern ukraine or in any part of ukraine and the u. s. first conflict. if we were to see a full scale invasion of ukraine by russia,

what kind of reaction would you expect from nato? well, i think the us and the nato have been pretty explicit about that. first, that there would be severe economic sanctions that the u. s. you have sort of up that there would be significant sort of political things in terms of the treatment of russia going forward. and that there would be significant upping of nato military presence in the eastern plank allies. nato allies that are close to ukraine and feel the most direct sense of threat from russia, and that the u. s. has said that it would increase its assistance military systems directly to ukraine in the event that such a conflict. so those are the sort of determined threats that are on the table that the us and its allies are using to try to effect rest of the calculus. what would

you advise you as president biden, to do immediately in order to avert the military con, from to conflict? well, i think they're doing the right thing this week on the diplomatic path, needs to be pursued with vigor. and we need to be, you know, as flexible within the parameters of, you know, our principles and our policies that we can. because the alternative to diplomacy, increasingly, it seems to me, is conflict and it's a conflict that the u. s. is that is not going to be involved in militarily and, and the consequences of it will be quite significant. so as unpleasant as it is to be in a sort of hostage situation where ukraine is essentially taken. i'm sorry, we're russia essentially taken ukraine hostage. and i asked the west essentially to,

to, to make concessions. that's where we find ourselves and, and it's a, it's an unfortunate reality. but the, by ministration i think, is doing his best to try to talk her way out of it. i think that's, you know, let me ask you before you, before we run out of time, assuming this crisis can be diffused, does the us state department, in your opinion, does it have to abandon the clinton error thinking the paradigm towards russia? and except that vladimir putin's position, when it comes to russian influence in russia, boundaries that, that has to actually be given more credence. do you think a rethink is necessary? well, that's a difficult question. you know, i think some of the issues that russia is explicitly putting on the table now are ones that we, we, the west nato countries. the us have been for, you know,

not prepared to address directly really such as, you know, nato enlargement to georgia and ukraine. on the one hand, we say they will become members. on the other hand, we haven't actually invited them to apply for membership or even given them a membership action plan. and these kinds of issues are very difficult. and russia basically asking us to make concessions on them while sort of pointing going to ukraine makes it political even more challenging. so while i think it's important to try to, to, you know, hear the russians out and see if there's room for common ground. by the token, it seems to me like a diplomatic solution is, you know, would be a miracle, frankly, if it were, if they were able to pull it off. well, let, let, let's say that he did that and we certainly do wish you all the success m u

chair mr. jet. we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thanks federally. aah. sinistar novak joke of which was seen on a tennis court in melbourne, australia to day that was made possible by the events just hours earlier inside a melbourne courtroom. a judge overturned the government's decision to cancel a joke of inches visa over corona virus vaccination requirements. australian open organizers, grand of the 10 star a medical exemption from the vaccination, which immigration officials refused to recognise today a judge route. that was ra jubilant supporters had been celebrated. but this may not be the final sir. the government is now considering whether to cancel the serbians visa for different reasons. ah,

they were so happy that their hero is free, for now they mobbed any car, even if they couldn't be 100 percent. sure, novak joke of it was inside, outside his lawyers office. they celebrated into the night somewhere. pepper sprayed in the chaos. outside court to joke of bitches. supporters cheered the decision to overturn his visa being cancelled. oh, i mean go with the judge ordered, joking. which is released from immigration detention calling me australian government's decision unreasonable. he rolled that joke, which hadn't been given enough time to respond to that decision. the serbian had arrived in australia, believing he had a medical exemption to rules requiring a corona, virus vaccine. this it emerged was due to

a december 16th cove at 19 infection, but the australian government argued that exemption didn't apply to people entering the country from overseas. that contradicted what joke of it had been told by tennis australia, the tournament organizers. i'm not gonna blame any one. the conflicting information and the contact information that you receive is because of the changing environment . we are in a very challenging vaughn for every one that's been involved in this process. ciocca bitch treated that he was pleased and grateful with the decision after the court's ruling going on to say he's now focused on the tournament. but the saga is not over yet. the australian government can still cancel joke, which is visa on the grounds of public health. for now, though, joke adventures family is thrilled with the rather atypical victory. or for me, this is the biggest victory in his career. the bigger than all his grand slams that

ever even my mom winning on the court is 2nd nature to joke of ich winning in court. however, as proved a lot harder or it was full and alex gross and he's editor in chief of the online side cracked rackets covering all levels of tennis. his podcast is called the mini break. he joins us from indianapolis in the u. s. alex, good to see you again. so do you agree with mother joke of ej when she says that this when is in court, is her son's greatest victory? well, i suppose at least it's still a court, so that may count for something. but i think the most unfortunate part of the situation and you guys did such an eloquent job laying it out there is that joke which has taken on the symbol of political martyr. and there are so many fantastic things to explore about novak joke, which playing in australia,

the fact that he's pursuing career grand slam number 21, which would set the record on the men side. the fact that novak joke which at this continued age believe he turns 35, this may, continues to play near the peak of his performance. there are so much to celebrate on board. unfortunately, we can't because as you guys demonstrated nations out last i naturally there are those who took this decision as in, excuse, will say to go to the streets. and unfortunately police had to deploy prep for spray last night to break up a crowd. it is, i would disagree. i think there are moments on the court joke, which has looked far more impressive than this victory in the court room. that said, i understand the sentiment. well, what about the australian open organization? i mean, they're the ones who actually have rules that allow for exemptions in the middle of a pandemic when in a country that has had the strictest restrictions in the world. shouldn't they be blamed before for this year? this migration visa p. r. disaster you are starting to understand tennis quite well

. my friend, i would 1000 percent echo that sentiment and look crank tyler who is the director of the australian open the big wake at tennis, australia. he has done an immense job about making the australian open as accomodating as possible for players. there is no doubt he overstepped his boundaries on this one over extended and the key question. so many of us are asking is what exactly dig crank kylie? tell novak joke of it's because of course the most obvious solution, the most commonly repeated solution would have been for joke which to get vaccinated. now, if he was told by craig kiley, i have spoken with the australian government, we have clarified what is what isn't allowed. your case is going to be an exception . then you can understand joke of inches, confound me, with his entire situation. so absolutely. i think there are people in tennis, australia who have to be held accountable, and i anticipate those questions will continue to be asked over the course of the

next few weeks. and the australian government right now has mud on its face if you will, never joke of it. he probably will get a cool reception, doesn't da playing, but it doesn't change the fact though that because of this, every one in the world is going to be watching it. when he walks on to that court. that's going to make a lot of money for the australian open isn't well, that's exactly what crank tyler, was counting on with no back joke ventures, inclusion into this event. and again, it's always worked practicing. he is chasing history. that is something all tennis fans will gravitate towards that pursuit of his 21st grand slam that sat and i apologize for repeating myself. i mentioned this last time my tennis tournament should never compromise public health. and i do think, unfortunately that's the perception of the australian open now, particularly within the australian community who have to be vaccinated to attend this event. the hypocrisy of that ruling in itself that an australian to attend the australian open, has to be vaccinated. we're making this grand exception for

a player who doesn't have to worry about the things that you know, daily australians are going through day and day out, has been able to maintain some sort of comfort. i think that's hypocrisy, that hypocrisy is what again keeps people talking about this story in why unfortunately it's probably not going anywhere anytime soon. yeah, you're right about that. will alex growth going with the online site cracked rackets of the great name else? we appreciate your analysis and i thank you. thank you for having me. ah. it has been considered hollywood rehearsal would run up to the oscars, but the golden globes star was dim last night. the awards were not even televised, and the winners were announced on a live block. jane camp became only the 2nd few mill director to win the best drama prize with her dark western power of the dog. on. let him, steven spielberg's remake of west side story,

picked up the gong for best musical or comedy. the ceremony was held behind closed doors following a scandal of her lack of diversity and transparency. someone who knows all about the story is the lovely kj. matthews entertained reporter in los angeles, she is also a recent member of the hollywood foreign press association which decides on the golden globe. it's good to see you k j. so i'm going to ask you, you're an insider. now it, is this a, just a total disaster right now? you know, a lot of people have been asking that question this morning. so that is a very fair question to ask. um, but i don't think it is. i thought it was actually strategic. i'm, you know, gone, we're the traditional a golden globe ceremonies that you have seen for decades on a and b. c. lots of stars having blue, everybody kind of just letting loose people look forward to it. it is

a number one of the 1st really award show in the awards season here in los angeles . that was gone for a number of reasons. so i went to it last night and basically what it was was a 90 minute close door private session where there were no celebrities, no red carpet, no booze, no food. none of that until after the ceremony where people were allowed to go to the pool area of the hotel. and of course there was food provided. so in lieu of that, what you got were grant recipients, these are organizations all throughout the world who receive money from the hollywood foreign press association to do things like, you know, bring more diversity into the organization. help more people with low income get into the arts, all sorts of things. so these people have received millions of dollars over the years and a bother executive directors and they presented it. so it was a different affair. but i actually kinda liked the fact that we got to learn more about where this money is going, that they get a rear of armor that the blimp issue has been on this kid. because you and i,

i know that there are reads pandemic reasons that it was closed or, but you and i have talked about the situation with the hollywood foreign press. so fusion, the lack of transparency. well, the, we have a contradiction, their lack of transparency and the doors are shut. well, you know, the thing is, the celebrities they want to see what people are wearing, they want to see all those things. and those things were not present in the fact that it is a pandemic. so we can allow as many people in car. so everybody knows that the hollywood, foreign press a say see a press association has been under c h for the last year. we learned last year that he didn't have any black members, lack of diversity or there were ethical lapses were some former members have perhaps been seen taking favors from various publishes in the or in the industry. so yes they have been, ah, under the fire you so to speak. so a lot has been going on, but they've also made a lot of changes within the last year. i think the close door thing which is to put

the focus back on their philanthropic efforts and not on the celebrities did not want to attend. ok. where you are, there are the we know that. so the one celebrity was there. let me ask, i've got about a minute left. talk to me about the power of the doll. well, it was a favorite, but you know what, what is even more uh, surprising actually, will smith winning his 1st golden globe? do you realize that he was nominated for his 1st golden globe back in 1093 when he was a fresh principal player? he has been nominated numerous times. never won until last night. so that was interesting. and also the australians had a good night. you know, with nicole women and nicole given that is i'm sorry, winning for i being the ricardo. so it was quite a different, you know, a fair last night there are, you know, jane champion, obviously winning. but yes, it was a tone down affair. it's very different, it'll be interesting to see moving forward if hollywood opens the door to our

organization and allows them to fully participate in things. so we'll just have to see the prints of bill there are. remember that that also tells me just how old i am getting up 70. 0, philly. i nurtured either. katie, bethany, timothy was as always, kid is good food. thank you. well, the day's almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter or either dw news. you can follow me on twitter at brent golf t. v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then with
