stakes were high and talks between the top diplomats of russia and the u. s. over ukraine, but a near 90 minutes meeting between antony blinkin and so gay lover of ended in geneva without resolution. but with the hope of future negotiations, moscow was still sticking to its demands that nato should not allow membership to ukraine. at other former soviet states and blanket reiterated america, its european allies position that those demands cannot be met. based on our discussion, i believe we can carry forward this work of developing understanding agreements together that ensure arnett, our mutual security. but that's contingent on russia stopping its aggression toward ukraine. so that's the choice, the grocer faces. now, you can choose the path of diplomacy that can lead to peace and security, or the path that will lead only to conflict, severe consequences and international condemnation. still mom would, would love to publish. at the end of our meeting, we agreed that next week the us is going to present us with written answers to all of our proposals. and you also said that in particular, that ukraine as no way we present effects to russia. and i would like to once again remind every friend who analyzes our public state men's and our analysis. and i would like to say that never before has russia designed to it's a visual represent is the ukranian people to go out there a correspondence covering all sides of the story will live in moscow with dawson jabari. kimberly, how could his in washington dc with the latest from the white house, but 1st let speak to natasha butler, who's in geneva, where those talks took place. the sasha, what was the mood surrounding these talks today? well, i think that mood was set at the beginning of when these 2 men arrive to you as secretary of state and sleep, lincoln said that there would be no quick fixes. the russian foreign minister set a gay lover off saying that there would be no breakthroughs. and they were right after many, 2 hours of talks, they came out and it was clear that night the quick fixes or breakthroughs all there was in the end, i was a commitment by these 2 men to pursue diplomacy, to see if they continued with talks a lot for off said that he had asked antony blinkin to request that the us respond in writing to some of moscow's demands that some of those demands include, for example, that ukraine never become a member of nato blink. and said clearly that it is non negotiable, a non starter it does, is it, it is up to the alliance of who they admit and who they do not at made a very different positions. indeed, blinkin saying, warning once again, moscow that they would be a swift and severe response if moscow wants to invade ukraine. what is clear after these meeting is that these 2 sides remained firmly entrenched in very different opposing positions. natasha bought alive and should even, let's go to moscow then. docile jibari of there for a store. so russia get what it wanted from these talks to very well, the foreign minister called these negotiate these talks open and useful. and he said that they got a verbal understanding from what the americans are thinking about, and they'll wait for the written response. it was very much a gauging of the mood by the russians about where the americans stand about the security proposals that they put forth about what they expect the american government to do and about nato's further expansion. the russian foreign minister said that there is currently a lot of hysteria that russia is not interested in invading ukraine. and all this talk is a false narrative that's been created by the western powers to give them an excuse to put more nato troops alongside the border with russia. and that is something this country cannot accept. he said they will wait to find out a written proposal in a written answer by the u. s. government next week, where the u. s. stands on what the russians are asking for, and they will decide how to proceed from that point forward. he said that it is not an out of the question to continue the dialogue and it was not worthy to hear the us as secretary of state saying these are not negotiations there, just discussions. and i think it's important to highlight that because each side, as this hasha mentioned, they are very much entrenched in their demands and that is not likely to change. but what is now clear is that the dialogue and the diplomacy is not dead. both sides are eager to continue dialogue about the differences they have when it comes to the looming crisis. and not just ukraine, but also nato and its role in this part of the world. and the same brush and foreign minister said that they will study carefully, they're written answer from the u. s. and then decide how to proceed for their part . this is what they want to hear, that they will get a written response. and they know it got a time frame for that from the u. s. government of next week, and they will decide how to proceed from that point on monday. thanks very door. so from moscow, there, let's go, lives a washing, took our white house correspondent, kimberly how could to is that force kimberly's? what extent that is the pool now firmly in washington's court? well, the united states has been pretty clear about how it plans to proceed if russia is to move in any way and invade ukraine. the white house press secretary to the president of the united states and antony blanket have said repeatedly, if there's an evasion, the united states with its partners and allies will respond to in appropriate force . and there have been a range of tools. they've said that they have been prepared to utilize including punishing financial sanctions. so there are a number of options at the ready. they secretary of state, also saying at his press conference following that meeting with the foreign minister of russia's survey, laugh rob that they've seen the plans that russia does have the plans in place to invade ukraine. and we've also heard from the u. s. president this week that he believes that vladimir putin will at some point task the west and we'll take some sort of action. so as it's now, is this sort of pause, we know that there have been production productive discussions that have taken place. each side is going back, looking at these respective proposals. we know that secretary blanket will be consulting with the national security council. whether or not there is going to be this window of opportunity for diplomacy is really up to both sides. there is this hope, and we're going to watch very carefully in the coming hours to see what the u. s. president may say about this. he will be before the cameras as well as the white house press secretary. so while we're watching and waiting to see what more the united states might have to say on white house, correspondent, kimberly, how could they live in washington kimberly manufactured in yemen. at

after the group stages is a massive surprise. especially considering that this team came into this tournament on a 35 match and the street. and that there were the competence was an all time high after winning the air that was hosted. and so it is a massive surprise. and as for what went wrong, the court said it's difficult to make a rational analysis, you know, just a day or 2 after the

the work going through a break of. a i had to move um and there were a lot of times i felt very isolating. and so i just changed my script. i was like, i can't make this lake speak. love story i. i poured what i was like feeling into the script and updated it. independent filmmakers are used to working on very tight budgets and are highly resilience. i've seen the business pivot multiple times during the panoramic. oh, it started off as everyone thought the sky was falling. oh, the sky didn't fall streaming services like netflix, h, b o and amazon demanded more pandemic era content. giving independent filmmakers a lot of work. i think it's a golden age. and the respect that tv has become such a massive cultural force. during the pandemic box office revenues have dwindled drastically.

quit, not give up. that's why maxi is looking on the bright side. the virtual festival thing is interesting because it opens up the access more. whereas if it was in person, it would have been a few select screenings. it's so i'm hoping that you know more people will see it. the sundance festival will announce it's prize winning films virtually. on january 28th, robert olds, al jazeera, long
