4:09 pm
attacks on ukraine from the country nearly a year ago. let's head now to ali hush him who has more for us and moscow and what a russian official saying about why they're carrying out these joint trills. what's the, was the end goal here? on the official line on these drills is that there are technical drills focused mainly on operational compatibility between the russian and the bel air forces. we all know that last month president vladimir putin went to men square. he met his counterpart, look shameka and they agreed on that russia will provide the better route or forces with training to be able to use what they described as aircrafts that could carry on conventional weapons. so this is, this is on one side. on another side,
4:10 pm
the drills that are being conducted today and that they're going to stay for for the next 16 days. 15 days are going to concentrate mainly on but trawling on supplies. and during your operations. however, they have been described as defensive drills, not offensive ones. so this is, this is in general the, the, the perspective that said being a discussed whenever this issue of the drugs is being i spoke about. however, yes, there are many concerns with respect to the role better. belarus better who says playing with respect to the. busy war whether this is going to have its impact on the next phases, especially that russia has initiated a new phase beginning with this or just poster or flex christmas. the 7th of, of january with its attack on solid audits control of solid dot. and also the
4:11 pm
changes that took place within the military in russia. i can, thanks so much that ali hush him for us in moscow. we're going to go over to natasha butler, who is in cave and how much concern is there that these joint exercises could actually lead to belarus? joining the war whole is clearly a lot of concern in keys over these exercises. what, what, whatever activity happens. all know the board therein, but a belarus in terms of military activity is a worry for authorities in ukraine. now what we know is better says that it's been carrying out a number of military exercises over the past few weeks that it started. apparently these aviation exercises, they all supposed to last a 2 weeks. and even though the ben everson, defense minister says these are just defensive exercises. well, you know,
4:12 pm
keeps not having any of that. because as far as they are concerned, they have to be as cautious and capital as possible, which is why ukraine's present volota me. so lensky has said that old board gods must be alert, ukrainian forces of the building extra fortifications long enough for it, because it was on the bell of russian territory. in february 2022, that a russian launched its invasion, even if troops from but of roost were not directly involved in this unknown darkening vote in this conflict. now in terms of the region, you've got a region there in ukraine in the north that is bordering belarus where people are very nervous in many parts. that region. and we've heard from one mayor of chattanooga he, for a region that's for just brit fenris and russia, he is saying that residents that going to be hearing an increased number of sirens over the coming days because of these exercises. but, you know, there was some intelligence officials, western intelligence officials,
4:13 pm
some in the pentagon who have been saying, look, all of this is just a russian strategy, a russian tactic. the idea is to try and distract ukraine to try and perhaps lose some of it. so forces from the east places like back, martin sola dahl where ukrainian forces are fighting russians, knew them away to the knolls. but as far as ukraine is concerned, it is wondering what is going on on the saw on that side of the border. and it is very concerned, of course. thank you so much. that is natasha butler for us. from cave, with germany's defense minister has handed in her resignation. christine landbrick's decision comes as jimmy faces pressure to increase its military support to ukraine. well, let's get more on this now with dom that cain in berlin and will her resignation have any impact on germany's support for ukraine. one thing is certain that in the inbox of the incoming defense minister on many
4:14 pm
different things, but particularly of notes today is what is being said in warsaw and what is being said in helsinki. this idea of putting some pressure on the german government may be to allow the respective countries, poland, finland to release to ukraine, weapons systems that germany sold to those countries. because germany has the right to decline, such a transfer to give from those countries in so far as the government here is concerned, there are questions. well, might this lead to a change of policy? it's unlikely in the short term, at least that this is going to lead to a change in policy. this is a tripartite government, 3 parties and government. it's likely that a social democrat will replace kristian lamb blushed. i e, somebody from ola shots, his party. it is unlikely therefore that that person would seek to change policy unilaterally. and then looking further down the field, we know that the incoming minister is going to meet the united states counterparts
4:15 pm
and few days time here in berlin. there are nato meetings and that sort of thing. so all eyes will be on the incoming minister when they take office and when they confront certain realities. but in so far as an immediate direct change in policy, that seems unlikely. okay, thank you so much. that's dominant cane for us and berlin. italy's most wanted, marty, a boss has been arrested south to us duty years on the run. police detained motto, messina, dinardo in the sicilian city of palermo, he was receiving medical treatment in a private clinic. donato has been convicted in absentee if we're being behind killings and bomb attacks and faces life and prison. he's considered the last remaining god, father of the cosa nostra mafia. john dickie is a professor of italian studies university college in london, an author of the book murphy of republic. he says, donato is arrest is another sign,
4:16 pm
the so called mob is dying. the machine and the nato was the youngest member of a leadership group within the sicilian matthew that took control of the semi and matthew in the early 19 eighties century on massacring old rifles a man and mounted a major attack on the italian state. most notoriously, murdering heroic anti mass magistrates giovanni phone call. and pablo both said ino in 1992 and then staging a terrorist bombing campaign on the italian mainland. all of this aimed at trying to get the state to back down what was gaining momentum as a major onslaught against organized crime. and that onslaught has continued such that my tell me seen it in honor was the last of that leadership group. still a large and the state is winning. in the case of the sicilian mafia, the, the,
4:17 pm
the structures, the hierarchical structures of the sicilian mafia have been ground down have been dismantled, several times the sicilian since the early 1990 in my theaters tried to set up again its commission. it's so the ruling committee on each time it's filed because it's been monitored and observed by the, the italian authorities and everybody involved has been arrested. so this is yet another signal of, i think, the decline of the sicilian matthew of for the 1st time and 25 years extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously. that is, according to a report by oxfam, it shows the world's richest one percent. got a lot richer over the last 2 years, they amassed more than 40 trillion dollars worth of new wealth, high costs of living and inflation and making the disparity worse. food prices are
4:18 pm
now unaffordable for many, with roughly 800000000 people going hungry. oxfam is calling the higher taxes for the rich around the globe. it says a 5 percent tax on the world's 1000000 is and 1000000000 is, would raise about $1.00 trillion dollars a year, and that could lift $2000000000.00 people out of poverty. while the world economic forum is taking place in the swiss town of devils, the annual meeting is attended by the world's top political and business leaders. earlier out diplomatic, it is a james based caught up with the executive director of oxfam international. this report is pretty start reading for those arriving here. $42.00 trillion us dollars created since 2020 in the last 2 years. but 2 thirds of that have gone to the top one percent in terms of wealth around the world. let's go back to gabriela boucher, who is the executive director of oxford. i'm international you were telling us in
4:19 pm
terms of your findings, were you surprised when you did this research and you saw how stock the data was? this is shocking and beyond. it is shameful. that, you know, one percent of humanity is taking double the wealth of the whole 909 percent combined till it's a outpace this. the what was happening in the last 10 years, which was that they were having half and half. so we can see that wealth accelerated accumulation is accelerating in the middle of this crisis that we're facing globally. what about the geographical spread of this billionaires are all around the world, but do you see differences? so 1000000000 is mostly in north america in europe, but also half of them are in countries where there is, for example, no inheritance tax. so they pass on their wells fully to their descendants and discontinues with the accumulation. there's also many countries that have no form of capital gains tax or any form of taxation that really help we distribute this enormous wealth. so what we're calling for is countries can introduce new tax and
4:20 pm
discussing the countries what is fair and in certain countries like nigeria in india. we know that well, sex ation could be a significant change for the budget of the country and would enable them to invest much more in health education and things that matter to everyone. gabriela boucher, executive director of oxfam. thank you very much for joining us here on out to 0 as davos gets underway as ever. there will be a cost of characters from the political and business and economic world here over the next week or so. a climate activists have blocked the entrance to an important doubles. the facility is used by those arriving in private jets for the world economic forum. the demonstrate is a calling for the wealthy to be held accountable for their role and global climate change. an ecological damage. delegates from major energy firms are among the 1500 guests attending the meeting. the philippines has one of the widest wealth gaps and

4:22 pm
but they say that they have very little choice because if they go to the commercial market, then there is something that their budget cannot afford. you need to be resourceful and go to where you can buy cheap things. but the can on the growth with the year 2022 has been on the upside, the 3rd quarter of the year. so a 7.6 percent g d p growth. now a major factor or a major driving force will household consumption. but get this only 3.9 percent of that consisted of basic food items. a huge factor really was what called revenge spending when the more well to do. so, travel, leisure, transportation, hotels, restaurants, people are spending. but it's the well to do people that are spending, we all know that in order for you to travel, there's still a lot of requirement like you have to follow health protocols. for example, if you want to travel abroad, you have to get, i didn't sure that we'll get that we'll cover called the committee. so i think that

father of the cosa nostra and russia and bella. bruce had begun 2 weeks of military . it drills the bell, russian defense ministry described the exercises as defensive. some analysts say moscow is pushing minsk to join the born ukraine. staying with that store, let's bring in alexandra vall, travis, he is a military expert and editor in chief of the swiss military review. thank you so much for being on this news. allan, i gets pissed off. how likely do you think it is that belarus could actually join rusher in this war? we have notes on for very early days of the or that there is substantial russian pressure on beller us to join the military operation. and until now, we have seen every possible trick in the book by biller ross to try and avoid participating actively in this. in this campaign, do you think they'll still be able to avoid joining russia or,
4:31 pm
or do you think that the pressure will le, just get to grice the pressure will continue, but one has to understand the bell arisen army is a conscript army. it is not a professional army, and so the public opinion is going to play a very substantial role, and there is great risk. there is even more risk now that the military operation on the behalf of russia is not going very well. just on the bell. russian public opinion, where does that said, how are they viewing this war? i would say a majority of the population would rather stay out of this a belligerent action. there have always, there have already been acts of resistance performed against, for example, troops or munitions or material transport from russia towards its forces in northern ukraine. so i would say. ready that there is definitely a lot of resistance going on to join militarily this
4:32 pm
a russian military campaign. they have called defensive these 2 weeks of military drills. what exactly are they going to be doing? a has a majority really come scripts are me. i think it is necessary for it to from time to time, just like many other such countries perform drills and multinational maneuvers in order to be familiar with other doctrines and in particular with what is going on right now in the ukraine. so there is a lot to learn, definitely. there's also a plan to have combined units, roofs, and russia. but these units are designated to be protecting bell risks on its north eastern and north western bank. and definitely not to participate in the tree operations in ukraine. correspondent and cave was saying earlier in this news out that this is sort of being seen as intimidation tactics by russia,
4:33 pm
and it could be a distraction for cave. what do you say to that? perhaps i would definitely say that russia now needs more support from a fellow wrist than it has until now. it is not only a question, i was a little infrastructure, but it's really a question of tapping into war material and munitions. reserve potentially the weapon systems that are going to rush miller, us possesses. and so we're going to see more pressure and most probably president lucas shanker is going to accept some of these demands submitting or giving away more military potential to russia, which really needs it. if they were to join, what sort of political fallout would they or could there be against bell race? more sanctions? what, what would happen? do you think? i'm definitely very grave repercussions. in particular,
4:34 pm
if you consider international can amik sanctions on one side and number 2, cinco belarus as extremely dependent on russia for its military and security affairs. and russia is not going to be able to fulfill, not going to be able to come to the rescue to the aid for us anytime soon. it's not going to be able to provide any military equipment. so where is the security of risk going to come from in the months and years to come? thank you so much for your time and, and your insight that selig sounds a val, travis, a military expert and editor in chief of the swiss military review. thank you. thank you so much. well, let's get more now on the oxfam report, which has found the gap between the rich and poor has widens in south africa. the wealth disparity is clearly evident in alexandra township. it's located a few kilometers from the center district that is often referred to as africa's
