a look at the scientific breakthrough that could save species from extinction. the hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. ukraine has accused brochure of deliberately risking the lives of prisoners of war following a plane crash and southern russia near the ukrainian border. moscow tells a different story, the kremlin says keeps forces shot down a transport aircraft killing all 74 people on board, including 65 ukrainian soldiers. heading to a prisoner swamp of this footage shed widely on social media is set to show the moment the russian military transported crashed. black smoke streaks, the gray skies, then a fine bowl residents and the surrounding areas described hearing rumblings,

numerous loud things. you read the doubles inside, you will see i went outside and saw a strong blown to sky. then i saw smoke. the stat rumble that i heard was quite scary. the craft went down to the good old region of southern russia, close to ukraine's border. the regional governor said the plane crashed and the field in a residential area, and there were no survivors. ukraine often targets the russian military transport planes believe to be delivering missiles, especially near its frontier. but the russian defense ministry claims the plain had human cargo, 74 people, 65 of them, ukrainian soldiers being flown in for a prisoner exchange in new york russians, foreign minister called for the un security council to discuss the incident with the skiff way in the ukraine in prison as a wall when transported to the b. l. good rock region of medium in order to conduct

yet another swab would that was agreed between must go and keep the suspect you instead of this, the ukraine inside launched an ad defend smith, south from the khaki region, and i keep talking to the play and then was a faithful strike. the 3rd is so funny. the key is confirmed that a prisoner swap was due to take place, but it says it had not been asked by russia to into a safe space, as with previous swaps. ukraine's president below him is a lensky cold. for an international investigation, as lots of admission as young and the russians are playing with the lives of ukrainian prisoners, with the feelings of the relatives and with the emotions of our society. we need to establish all the facts as much as possible, given that the downing of the plane occurred on russian territory ocean. that is, she's keeping it to it. it was a national control. ukrainian intelligences, russia could be trying to destabilize the situation in ukraine,

undermine international support to our corresponding bucks tundra is cutting. you're covering the storage on just now from to you so much. what's the latest on this plane crash? everything more details emerged. right, terry? so, um, ever since this incident took place yesterday, they're still very little information out there as to what actually happened there . there has been no confirmation, however, by the ukrainian authorities as to the claims by russia that a plane carrying ukrainian p o w as was shut down their presence of lensky actually also said that ukraine would continue to target the russian aircraft teams as a threats to ukraine into ukrainian cities, in this case, they believe that the plane was carrying this house and that we're, we're going to be used to attack ukrainian cities. we do know that a, that a swap for the swap was scheduled at $192.00 ukrainian few dollars were supposed to

be exchanged. this exchange did not go under way. but as we just also heard in the report, the ukranian say they were not informed that a, that a number of these prisoners that it was supposed to be exchanged, were allegedly transported on the plane, which would have been standard procedure to ensure the safety of them when being transported to and, and through a combat combat zone. but you can imagine that this whole topic is very sensitive topic here that's being watched very closely at the moment. there are thousands of families, if not more of the prisoners of war of ukrainians who are being held captive in russia and who are waiting to hear from the loved ones. that depending on what the outcome of the story is, this could have a city or impact on the pregnancy side. that's it. sounds like ukraine is implying that russia sent that plane, possibly full of p of w's through air space, where it expected it to be shot down. how plausible is that?

well, that's a theory that the russian, excuse me, that the ukrainian military um, of the military security service also also a present that this is something that people are being talked with are talking about here as well. is that this could have been a trap, the ukrainians present lensky has actually called for an independent investigation next for ukrainians, but also by, by international partners. question is, how likely is this going to be? how likely is this going to be to be successful? since this incident took place in russian aerospace and the crass side lives within russian territory. and it's questionable if investigators will have access to it. still quite a mystery max. thank you very much. that was our correspondent mike's sound of the n t. it's catch you up on a few other stories making headlines around the world. today. a fire is broken out at an oil refund rate in southern and russia. officials said the blaze is being brought under control and that new casualties have been reported. flights have been

suspended to the nearby airport insult, you know, regulated gold mine has collapsed in molly killing at least the 70 people. officials, the search for survivors was ongoing accidents and molly's gold mines are common with operators, often accused of ignoring safety measure of japan's moving sniper craft has succeeded in a pinpoint soft landing on the moon. the country's space agency confirmed the landing point to be 55 meters away from the target point. japan became the 5th country to put a spacecraft on the moon after the touch down of its and then pro slip on saturday . protesting farmers have on least chaos across france, blocking roads starting fires and even spring the new are on one government building. they are angry regulations that drive up costs as well as a rise in cheap in force that compete with their goods. the farmers say the protest

will not stop until their demands are meant. the 10s of thousands of people joined a general strike on wednesday in argentina, against preston to hobby a malays plans to slash public spending and privatized, most of the economy, malay insist tough action is essential to rain and inflation and restoring gross. but ordinary workers fear they will be hardest hit as a major challenge for emily, in the hearts of argentina, thousands are on strike and demonstrating in front of the congress and boy in those are as they are here to publicly reject austerity measures proposed by the countries right wing the libertarian president, javier milly. they feared the reforms will set the country back decking the property at 56 years old. i

can tell you that i have already experienced this. it was in 2001. i'm not a shame to say that we ate from the golf age back then we have to bond to to suffice. i feel this difficult history will return to watch and tina. that's why i'm here for my family, for my colleagues, for my daughters and for my grandchildren. argentinians have already been grappling with soaring installation. but under the countries, new president living conditions are quickly deteriorating. the call to strike came from argentina's largest labor union. they say proposed amendments to laws would weaken worker protections of dramatic cuts and public spending will further high cup prices. look, i don't think that we want to challenge the politics and play here. can be called on deputies to act in line with what the majority wants. talk thoughtful that goes

against the interests of working people and the working task in general. a little that would affect the transportation rate, food and housing the appleton area and you know, many and many here say the costs of millie's plan to inflict short term pain to slash inflation in the long run are too high to bear with an estimated 40 percent of the population already living poverty. tomorrow, let's bring in marianna. piano is here. she's lead researcher at giga, the german institute for global and area studies where the focus on latham erica. welcome to the program. i am a hobby. i'm really, who's only been president of argentine it for 6 weeks. what's he done in that short amount of time to drive people onto the streets? that's where he says be the only $46.00 weeks they have, but he then think the baby, very ambitious program off economic reforms and is through man's get chose

for the submit this um yeah, government program. i also read it comes from bachelor, so he break toes to, to regulate that whole economy. he wants to prioritize and carry out to betty bay and each program off a maybe a form. and he also wants to cut the expenses off off of this, paid it just 0. so it's so lot and, and, and of course in, in, in a very short time. and when he has proposed, these are 2 main, the got these 2 man, this one is that a very, very weak low. they call it the late only was the only it will slow because go buses a lot. and then the other is to man, is you agree?

and as the think the urgency degree, which is a big question and advantage of system because it, it includes much more things than those that one could argue mrs. hunting for an emergency. so this is the last to the city, sorry, that i was just wondering, do these protests really have broad public support? because argentinians, they chose malay as their leader chose him to leave their country precisely because of his radical reform agenda denman? yeah, executive. so i just, he knows, you know, it's now the 1st attempt in the world with the, at the highest rate of inflation and a custody of the suffering from inflation for a long time. and, and the previous government eh, did not help much in that sense of urgency as well, and very tired of what's, what's going on in the economy. and it tells me late as it changed. but i'm not

sure that tom said that they chose such a large branch of the response altogether. so if it's a disease, it'd be in a baby, riley come in a business program which goes much more than i would say what this means to meet exactly the point of the situation on the economy now. okay, so malays seems to be taking on maybe a little more than what our continues were expecting on the elected him, but he's told her continues that things will get worse before they get better. how bad do you think things will get if his reforms are implemented the way he imagines to okay, i think that i'm not going to be implement in the way she must hit the emotions because, you know, this is a democracy, a constitutional democracy. and that at many the positions in those proposals that are against the constitution and are being questioned in that to the so system and

and also very sick and gratian oh, in front of government and in congress they see many of the represent of davis or people's relation from this probably is this from the salvation of the country and, and, and they have different that's in the, in different needs. so a lot is big and it will saved it in congress at the moment. so it would cost out in jan. east, anything that tool is going to be a watered down version of these 3 or i think i was us or rank is, but still there's lots in it. we'll see some and corporate us costs for next week. and the discussion on all of the bill in independence decisions, so we wouldn't see how, pray on that. thank you very much for your insights there. that was laurie on a on us of germany's giga institute. thank you for telling me

now turning to the korean peninsula where recent rhetoric from north korean dictator can jump on is once again raising international concern can last week declared his country is no longer interested in re integrating with the so he instead suggested the nor should right, as comp rewrite its constitution and declare south korea as its main enemy. the 2 nations had been formerly at war for 70 years, but experts say can statement marks a new downturn in relations between the north in the south conjunction and blamed recent drills between the us. and so for the move, however, it may have more to do with the know it's closer ties to. to have a ton of lights. russia and china are not screened. dictator kim's all on is no stranger to fiery rhetoric. but experts say his statement to the north korean parliament could change relations between the north and the south for years to come . once you talk to that, you would be able to see how you see, i mean, we have our most hostile state, the republic of korea, you know,

nearest neighborhood. and the instability of the regional situation is sorting due to the us led escalation of military tensions. came further instructed his government when trying to self as north korea's chief enemy and disbanded the government offices responsible for exchange with the south young, young and sole had been in a defacto state of war since the end of fighting and the cream conflict. however, both countries had officially pursued eventual reintegration. despite their tents relations, kim's announcement said to change that tensions had been on the rise due in part to north korea's nuclear weapons and rocket programs. and came, is made in the art of using facilities like these as part of his government's propaganda. the north cleans it needs the technology for self defense. tests like these have long been a thorn in the side of the south and it's international allies, experts,

they've shown you and your has at least 30 nuclear warheads. the north resume test of new hypersonic missiles are also worrying. so what do you put in the military immediately detected the north korean missile launch now and shared the data with the us in japan, but we condemn north korea's missile launch, as it is a provocation that seriously threatens peace and stability in the korean peninsula . give your opinion going back on providing it on the self assault closer military ties with his chief support or the united states, including frequent joint military drills, leading to a predictable, tit for tat saber rattling on both sides of korea's demilitarized zone. to the north is also strengthening its ties to both china and russia and their support may be emboldening its leadership. russian defense officials recently helped kim jong and mark the 70 if the anniversary of the end of fighting in the korean war. and north korea has emerged as an important supplier of fresh munitions 4 months ago,

bolstering rushes, filtering weapons industry after its invasion of ukraine. fears the conflict could escalate, are spreading in the region. japan recently held rocket evacuation drills in case the cold war between the north and the south ever becomes hot. dw is asia pacific bureau chief georg mouth is in soul. he asked south koreans about the new tensions and hopes for reintegrating north and south korea. so if you want to get a seal for the states of the frozen conflict between south and north korea now is probably a good time. south korea is in the midst of a cold snap, with temperatures dropping to minus 20 degrees celsius. and that very much reflects the chilly relationship between the north and the south people here in the south, we're never really overly fond of the idea of reunification because they fear the financial consequences. that is what especially young people here and sold,

tell me or be for, for your young people in or the for see we have very different cultures divided years. i guess many young people will be interested in but for the north, giving up on reunification is a big deal. really vacation with the south had always been a central part of the north. so audiology since the staples found it. does this mean that the north is actually preparing for war experts here disagree on this course? north korea is due to reopened to foreign taurus next month, and also have sold its own reference to rush off for the war. otherwise move and preparing for the battle. the most likely scenario is that kim,

yeoman's behavior is aimed at strengthening his own origin. south korea is more useful as an enemy with reports that people in the north like think in this cold weather. aware however, would be a mess of campbell for the north, which has nothing to gain people here tell me and everything to lose from or we can talk to john and tim, she's lead re corresponded for n k news, and joins is from sol, german, north korea is adopting a more hostile pastor towards the self declaring soul to be its biggest enemy. what does that tell us about and conjunctions reaching? it was the intention of funds and in unification and calling south pre a warring state. now not a compact trout anymore. i feel like that was a long time coming and as a variable, if you a logical line that was at odds with the militaristic policy line, but congenital was going for a for of past few years, especially targeting south korea. but for something like that,

to change the grandpa era, i then i the ology of aging, a very big justification. and right now it looks like for conjunction, it's a very good timing. it seems now the sub create a new as nuclear. terence has been increasing. goal is good. timing is just for rhetoric from the north or are you concerned that can young wound control on may actually be planning an attack? well i have seen this debate going on in dc and outside about whether or not we're close to an actual uh port. i don't think so, but i will also don't think that this is just rhetoric abandoned and unification. it's not just the talk if now it's a set policy line that's deliver to a foreign ministry and other uh elite since north korea. and it's actually concerning for future generation and such subjugating south korean territory or preparing for subjugation by controlling instructor for now. sure, it's just the rhetoric, but it's also a very good solid video,

logical justification that controlling is using to build and use the target ones, compatriots, if they're sort of getting rid of that, either a logical gap that these 12. hm. and what about south korea? how south korea responding to all of this? it says it seems that the current plan is to just brush it off. we have seen south korean leaders, the unification, administered, defense minister and the president using a lot of hostile languages, aggressive languages in the past year. but it sounds like they are trying to make the control ends and you possibly i make it sound, it's not new. and they are just continuing with a current of turn strategy. but we are also looking at april election here. so stroking fear and showing strongly leadership, maybe it would work well with them, but how close we are to an actual war. i'm not sure that would be the right way to describe it. of course, this is all happening within a much broader context of how much our tensions between soul them killing young

a reflection of broader geopolitical tensions involving china, russia in the us. and it's almost north korea has been cutting very closely with russia recently. and that may have been in bold and north korea a little bit on knowing because they know that they have a very close friend now, not needing south korea, but the us nuclear, unconventional to trans. i feel like it's too strong for our north korea to do a 1st strike, even with china and russia backing up. but i do feel like there could be increased possibility of skirmishes and casualties up the border. it's totally possible, especially near the maritime border, which north chris says it's and then we will border and it's likely that the russian, china will turn a blind eye even up north. craig goes for an impression near the border. the koreans still have any hope of the north and south reuniting again. i think certain demographics and soft cries, especially if you look at the poles,

men in their forties, they are more pro unification. but i don't think the younger generations are interested, thoughts much and unification. anymore and reconciliation, i think at least for the time being it's, it is, looks unlikely looking at the bite and administration and unit administration's policy line. even if a progressive wins here, it seems like it's fair and will be very difficult to move the minds of soc queen citizens as well. but if come comes back, maybe it will open a few unexpected doors like we saw in 2018. but the problem there will be, uh, was pre trying to take stuff out of the pollution and the deals. and the submarine citizens would not be interested in something like that. and then thank you very much for talking with us. that was young and tim and k news lead correspond think the northern white rhino population is on the brink of extinction. there are

only 2 of them left on earth, both female. but a scientific breakthrough has given hope of saving species. after all it's a race beginning, it's time to save the northern wind, brian or from extinction. these of the last 2 of these spaces on, if a mother and her daughter now either is capable of carrying a pregnancy to, to fortunately this species has just been given a big boost. scientists have managed artificially impregnate, a surrogate mothers from the closely related southern white rhino species, with a southern white rhino embryos. speaking at a price conference in berlin, they announced plans to use the same method to produce a come from a northern white rhino embryo, emotionality that said, it really made some possible possible and to today the can, the,

the parts that and that is really a milestone to allow us to produce and all of them are the final cost in the next $22.00 and a half years. the journey to get here hasn't been without hot break. the successful recent trial ended in tragedy when the southern what ryan or surrogate was killed by an unrelated and fiction. although the features didn't survive either the team is confident, future pregnancies will carry to full 10. so here we try to contribute to, to develop a new concept, visual research approach, which has the potential to be applied to a highly engage, otherwise, less issues, not just the items to pick you up to mall, about diversity and healthy habits on a global scale. the ivy, if method could provide a model some other endangered species of rhino such as the endangered so much from rhino and southeast asia,

a chance to bring more animals back from the brink of extinction. you're watching the w news next stuff and german mayor offers a warm welcome to refugees who he says or need is terry morrison. thanks for watching the
