I bring goff its good to have you with us the leaders of ukraine and russia have been holding one on one talks in paris tonight to discuss the conflict in Eastern Ukraine this is the 1st time in 3 years that talks focusing on ending the war there have been held and this is the 1st meeting between russian president Vladimir Putin and ukrainian president golda meirs and then ski appears set down earlier this evening with french president Emmanuel Macron and german chancellor Angela Merkel those 2 leaders are brokering this meeting now the conflict started back in 2014 and has killed more than 13000 people and displaced more than a 1000000 the worst fighting has been in the donbass reach. Or corresponded to your boxes in paris covering those talks tours good evening to you georg so what is the latest there done with dinner i understand theyre done with dinner or just about done done with dinner a Little Information here and there trickling out of those big solid walls of the n. S. A. Policy which you see right behind me one of the pieces of information is that reportedly flooding the putin was rather happy about his fust bilateral meeting with the ukrainian president selenski he said it was good to meet him and the meeting went a well now what do we make of that that well have to see leaders set down the 4 of them over this working dinner or hammering out the details of what comes out of this midnight meeting here in paris we know that ukraines president selenski he wants to bring the eastern Donetsk Region back under control of his government is there any sign that that will happen anytime soon. Well reestablishing control over the sovereign territory of ukraine off of those parts of currently the separatists are in charge in Eastern Ukraine and that is really the precondition for the ukrainian leader to allow local elections and those elections would be the precondition to gif autonomous status through those regions and that is really where the key lies to resolving this conflict i think that is a bit asking too much from from tonight nobody expects to such a breakthrough here seeing that people in ukraine are still died dying on an almost daily basis seeing that it took 3 years to organize a meeting like this and the french president and german chancellor Angela Merkel have quite a bit of put a bit of leg work into organizing this meeting so the fact that both leaders have met here today is already a positive sign i mean this is the 1st meeting between ukraines president alinsky and russian president putin who holds the cards youre gay or. That of course is the big big question because on the one hand you have a real heavyweight in political bargaining and diplomatic bargaining flooded new putin and of course you have the newcomer president selenski a former comedian and actor who is really walking a tightrope here on the one hand he one his elections to become president on the back of promises to end this this this bloody conflict which has claims over 30000 lives and on the other hand he people are concerned that he might sell out to the more experienced leader which is fighting the putin our correspondent you know my thoughts on this report covering this force in paris tonight thank you.

It was wada who persuaded russia to turn over data from the testing labs as part of the thames of a deal to rejoin the international fray after and mitchell banned for state sponsored dumping offenses 4 years ago. Russia has afforded every opportunity to get its house in order and to rejoin the global and to talking community for the good of its our seats and for the integrity of sport but it shows instead of a different route what us is the data he received from russian doping or thirtys in january who was compromised its response unanimous.
