decisions in decision for tomorrow's journalism. save the date and join us for this discussion. and the 16th edition of d, w. c. global media forum ah ah, busy w news live from berlin to night, shine his leader on a visit to moscow. she should peep, he may be looking to promote his peace plan for ukraine, but vladimir putin, this visit, as a strong show of support from his most powerful allies, also coming up a survival guide for humanity. hundreds of leading climate scientists are signing

off on a critical update on global warming in with the data becomes a warning act now before it's too licked. ah, i bring gov is good to have you with this on this monday. they. the 2 men behind me have vowed a partnership without limits and to day that partnership between china's she's in pain and rushes by the be prudent. it was on for display the leaders holding some 4 hours of informal talks as she began a state visit to russia. now he is the 1st world leader to be welcomed in moscow since the international criminal court issued that arrest warrant last week for prudent over alleged war crimes in ukraine. standing shoulder to shoulder to authoritarian is defiantly pushed back against western values. nato and

the united states for russia's president, she's visit is a diplomatic qu, showing much needed international support. as moscow becomes increasingly isolated, literally almost at 50 modal people, but it's very easily. so she wrote, i am very glad that you found it possible and found the time to come in the evening and talk in an informal, friendly atmosphere about all issues that interest us for chinese president gene ping. it's a chance to play a global pacemaker. and to project china's power in the face of warnings from the united states, the message from the u. s. is clear, beijing will endure har sanctions if it provides moscow with weapons for the war in ukraine. she and potent are determined to craft a new world order. one that according to them, does not follow dictates from the world sole superpower. yes.

john, we are partners in comprehensive strategic cooperation. j it in this da says that determines that there should be close ties between our countries major way she she and pollutant were expected to discuss beijing's 12 point piece plan, which calls for negotiations between moscow and key. but it doesn't mention a withdrawal of russian troops from ukrainian territory. it's an emission not lost on ukrainians. dick saw the little shawl for all the color. one dictator has found another open. joe. they attract each other. but it will not change much if they get support for the war from china. dear scare william leaves us like a book out as a 3rd of the. it seems like some kind of game, like they want to tease the western world of. but that's my opinion or yes, 30 though, because ukrainian president followed amir zalinski has made it clear that no peace

can be achieved as long as russian troops continued to occupy and attack his country. and he is an interested in giving any ukrainian territory to pollutant zelinski, and she are expected to discuss the war on the phone in the coming days. i want to bring in our chiefs international editor, richard walker. richard, when we look at these 2 presidents, they're not standing on equal footing. i mean, these are not a meeting of to equal member, we're talking about their power. no, that, that's true. mean russia is really extremely dependent now on china. i mean, if we just look at the situation that these 2 men find themselves and you know, russia, it's now more than a year, of course, since it invaded ukraine. back in the last february, vladimir putin was hoping that he would defeat ukraine quickly. that he would install a favorable regime that to him, obviously that war has become an extremely difficult conflict for him. he's lost

huge numbers of men, he's lost, huge numbers, amounts of materiel, and he's lost the faith of many countries around the world. if you look at the diplomatically isolated russia is, he's completely lost europe as customers for russian energy, which was, you know, his biggest kind of market for russian energy. he's turned nato against him. he's consolidated nato is adding new members. so he's very much in a difficult spot. she, jim ping, china is really the only major friend that he has on the world stage. i wondered if she is in his interest for there to be peace and eastern ukraine. would maybe a low grade foot work out better for? well, there's been an awful lot of kind of reading of the ruins about this recently about

what does china really want in this conflict? and china is always insisted that it is huge role in this that it doesn't have any, any kind of stake in this conflict. and it simply, you know, believes in principles such as the sovereignty of nations and territorial integrity. and these kind of like so technical diplomatic terms. but they basically mean to invade countries don't take away their church. so the one hand to china has been saying that, but on the other hand, they also say that they understand what they see is vladimir putin is reasons for, for this war and pushing basically says nato provoked me, nato is trying to expand further into the east it wants to add ukraine as a member, so he feels that he's justified to attack because he's sort of stopping nato in his in. she brings interesting to provide lethal weapons to russia that can be used in

your career. yes. here we kind of take the question one step further, don't we? because, well, if she is a little bit torn on, you know, what's really a good outcome and you crate, you know, because obviously if you, if you believe in territorial integrity than it is really and know what to vladimir putin has done. but also he doesn't want necessarily vladimir putin to be rolled over by the west, by the west in supplies of military supplies to ukraine. he doesn't want vladimir putin to be defeated to have a collapse of russia on his doorstep. and to have a real friend in standing up to the united states, which is china's big obsession. standing that said that the question emerge. well, is china going to provide weapons or so far it hasn't done that in china has been wary about becoming a target for western sanctions. and i think an interesting factor here is that while china says, you know, it won't be bossed around by america about what it can or cannot do. it's also got an eye on europe and to, for china,

it's very important to try and keep europe and the united states as far apart from each other as possible. and so in european capitals, they've been pretty pole by the massive rhetorical diplomatic and economic support that china has been giving to russia so far. but if china did cross that route, can stop providing big weapons to, to russia, that the europeans really have everything. yeah, it'll be interesting to see, and there's also the notion of shipping a global statesman now, you know, following that deal with saudi arabia and iran, which is always thinking with some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the government of french president emanuel micron has narrowly survived to no confidence motions in parliament. other votes were triggered by opposition parties after the government pushed the route, divisive pension and retirement reforms with out of the in parliament. the plan has

sparked violent protests across france. a donors conference led by the european union has pledged more than 7000000000 euros to help the victims of those earthquakes in turkey and northern syria in a virtual address turkish president. richard ty, your bear to one today. welcome to the support of the international community. but i don't think that's what we wanted to show you. he did warn, however, that the reconstruction could be more than a 100000000000 euros for and and defense ministers from the european union. they have agreed on a 2000000000 euro plan to send desperately needed ammunition to ukraine. of the deal will provide he with $1000000.00 artillery shells over the next year. the funds are also intended to help you. member states replenish their own ammunition supplies which have dwindled rapidly since the beginning of the war. the agreement comes a bit concerned that ukraine is burning through ammunition faster than western allies

can produce a corresponding jack pear is in russell's earlier he told me about what opportunities the new agreement is giving you members. well, it basically means that the european union, or at least 17 countries plus norway who's signed up to they still, can i go out into the market? i'm buy ammunitions collectively, which has not been done from brussels controlled point before. obviously that gives them purchasing power. it means that they can buy more in bulk and that also they can spread it between the different countries. more as you say, a 1000000 rounds of artillery will be going to ukraine by the end of this year in the next 12 months. sorry, according to the foreign policy, chief of the european union, joseph bray, who, 9th, this, they're also going to have an 11000000000 for for munition this year. and they're going to spend a, another 1000000000 scuse me on procurement in the future. it's really,

really big shift in european union thinking you was created as a peace project and that was going on to the national markets and collectively buying weapons. and that speaks to the incredible significance of this doesn't it really does. it's a major shift in is you think he might not sign like that much of a, a big deal. but it shows a real turn in european union thinking here in brussels. we saw with the joint purchasing of coven 19 vaccines. we saw with the collective taking on of debt to try and come out of the coven 19 pandemic. and this is really a step on from that ny where there is a shift towards the collective i zation of responsibility for these kinds of things . there were many countries that were a little bit uncomfortable by to and that's why any 17 plus no way, not a new member state have signed up the european union. foreign policy chief said he hopes that more will sign up to this as the national procedures go forward,

but it is a really significant step and one that the ukrainian foreign minister dri, dimitri calibus, showed, says, showed that the european union has demonstrated its relative resolute leadership once again for ukraine, they've been calling for weapons for a long time. this ammunition is going to be very welcome. w's jack pair with the latest light from brussels. jack is always thinking or the devastating effect of the climate change is hitting the planet faster than expected. that is, according to a panel view in climate scientists. a panel that just published its latest report. the intergovernmental panel on climate change is analyzed. the research on global warming and c o 2 levels ever since the paris climate accord was agreed to back in 2015. and they say that the data is clear, we need to act faster. extreme weather has been heating as hard for decades now with catastrophic consequences. heat waves, drought storms, floods melting,

arctic ice. all this time, scientists and un experts have been calling to limit the speed of global warming. today, they are sending a familiar message. time is crucial. humanity is on seen ice and that ice is melting fast. there's to those report of intergovernmental panel on climate change. i. p. c. c. details. humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years. the growth of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2000 years. concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their highest him at least 2000000 heres. the climate time bomb is ticking. this is why rich countries are being asked to become climate neutral by 2040, which means they need to reach their c o 2 goals even faster than planned. germany was said to become climate neutral by 2045, but the country is lagging behind,

especially in the areas of transportation and building renovations. what happens in the rest of the decade is extremely important. one problem is that a lot of money is still being spent on fossil fuel extraction and not on curbing climate change. the current amount needs to be increased by 3 to 600 percent. yet there is hope the you and experts say we have the necessary scientific knowledge to limit climate change. the financial backing is also there, at least in theory, they just have to be used in the right place. in the right place. yep. how about finland? it is, it's been declared, the world's happiest country for the 6 year in a row. the world happiness report, examines the happiness gap between the top and bottom halves of countries populations. and it says that people are happier in countries where that different

that gap is smaller. in addition to finland, the other nordic countries are well represented. they make up 4 of the top 10 happiest countries in the world, not to get have something to do with being so close to santa core. to tell you what you need to be news business needs is up next to daniel winter. i will see you tomorrow. with the chest voted you do the food i changed to jennifer. interesting. she survived auschwitz, things to music and he was the nazis favorite conductor.
