6:02 pm
changer did it by beating danielle method of and the indian wells fargo. ah, i journey of peace and a meeting of dear friends. that's how leaders of russia and china are describing president. she doing things for a state visit to moscow since the start of the ukraine invasion. it's a 1st such visit high profile visit anyway to moscow by world leader since the war began. both leaders have hail their historic close size at a time when russia is facing international isolation, president put in toll. she that he is open to negotiations and discussions on china's piece plan to resolve the conflict. jane has maintained his neutrality in the war that has been met with cat skepticism by the u. s. senate western allies isn't good. this is certainly blue blue and you mean what would equal you to when you, we have considered your proposals for settlement of the current crisis. of course
6:03 pm
we will have an opportunity to discuss this. we know that you are basing this or principle of furnace and upholding the principle of the international law and divisible security for all countries. we also know that will always open to negotiations. we'll discuss all these issues, including good initiatives to far golden china values, the friendship between china and russia. this has historical logic because we are makers and to large countries. we're also strategic partners. such a position determines that we have a very close relationship. let's bring in a eula shop of oliver in moscow, julia saw a huge woman for both leaders here the 1st time president. she has visited russia since the invasion of ukraine began. and the 1st meeting for president put in with a foreign leader, since the arrest warrant was issued by the i see, see, what is moscow hoping to get out of this visit and what do we know about what, what they've talked about so far? right,
6:04 pm
so we know that they informed me between the russian and trying the the leaders have finished during the me thing we heard from him a p. s saying that he had carefully read china's piece of land for a ukrainian settlement. and we also know that the russian president said that beijing plan could be discussed. russia is always open to the negotiation process. that was, according to the russian president. so probably as far as we know that the chinese peaceful plan was not quite, you know, endorsed by ukraine and the western countries. so probably that plan will be a little bit tweaks or adjusted in the near future probably tomorrow because tomorrow is the, the most important day of this visit of this bilateral, this, some of these bilateral negotiations rather. meanwhile, present changing pain cold vladimir putin, his dear friend, as we've heard, and now that he chose russia who is 5 visit after being reelected,
6:05 pm
as he did 10 years ago as well. and he read horatio, that there should be a close relationship between russia and china. of course, right, and as i said before, the main program is shuttled for tomorrow. so we hope to hear more about ukrainian crisis. of course you, how is this visit being viewed in russia and how is it being because they are not. so how is it being sold to that, to the russians? all right, so we've heard from vladimir putin and his recent article in the chinese newspaper . and he actually welcomed china's readiness to play a role in resolving the crisis in ukraine. the ukraine and conflict is now entered 2nd year, and it doesn't show any signs of abating. and as i said before, that sir, are the, the chinese piece plant is very important for russia and a for russian citizens of course. and also, many people here understand that china is this thing, number one, economic part,
6:06 pm
no. russia in 2022. the trade turnover between the countries increased say to percent reaching record $185000000000.00. and we'll also see that due to the ukranian conflict, russia has lost many of its long time friends and partners, and due to his sanctions imposed russia in connection with its special military operation. ukraine was he, that china's role has increased massively has become russia's largest economic partner and the largest consumer of russia's orland coal. but on the other hand, people here think that russia is becoming more and more dependent on china. so when the special miniature operation began, the russian president site at one of its goals of the operation as being more independent for the west, being more independent for russia from the west. and he spoke about russia sovereignty. so probably a, china's embrace now can, can appear to be too tight. all right, thank you for that. julia, julia, shop of oliver live there in moscow. or let's get the view now from
6:07 pm
a b g. here's katrina you are in china's capital time is trying to capitalize on the mention of its successful brokering piece between saudi arabia and iran. and she thing is really looking at this visit, other than strengthening utilized, which led him to, to, to, to see, to project as a global calla, as a peace maker. she wants to get the attention, particularly of countries that have from the developing world, you might be a good time to seeing the u. s. constantly as a leader, and might be more open to china as an alternative. now we've seen these opening shop pleasantries in this chassis between dive in houston and she didn't came i think when it comes to do politics underestimate the importance of the chain. personal report between these 2 leaders. 10 years ago, more than 10 years ago now. and president, she did thing became the leader of china. russia was the country he visited. and he said at the time that he was holding a new chapter in moscow,
6:08 pm
paging time. and now we've had 2 liters meet more than 40 times. this is present and she didn't being nighttime in moscow. vladimir putin last time and made a ice cream birthday cake, prison. she didn't think he's treated himself. he said that she did pay the only state leader that he's celebrated his own birthday with. i think what really crucially ties these 2 together. it's not just the fact, but they're from russia and china because those 2 countries had really complicated history. what i think is most important here is this piece, these 2 leaders, head authoritarian countries. they have a strong leadership to have both figured out ways to manipulate the system so that they can be needed basically for the rest of their lives. and the important thing that we need to watch out as a member would need to know the music that these to show a world view. and that is that they don't believe that the world should be led by
6:09 pm
the us and other western democracies. they don't think that of world order suits them and there are 2 other countries, basically they would like to see their own country, their own style of governance, or those systems of governance. well, let's discuss this further. now with victor gal was the president vice president mother of the center for china and globalization, and is joining us live from beijing. thank you so much. victor, for being with us on al jazeera, i every one right now is watching to, to see if china is going to take the step to offer military aid to russia. the chinese have been reluctant to do so. do you think this visit to a mask or might change this after the talks with president put in there? i think this sunday meeting between president, she didn't be our china president put it on russia is a very important bilateral event, as well as an important event for global peace and security. in addition to
6:10 pm
everything in china, us really chandler russian relations evolving trades. are they will also talk about china's piece proposal, which is the only proposal now you front or the world community try to and the crisis being peace and the diplomacy. so this meeting has both global significance as well as bilateral significance. right? yeah, well my question was the nato gregor, but my question was, victor, whether china would take the step to offer a military aid perhaps to moscow as many in the west and the u. s. of hearing i don't think so. why? because from the chinese perspective, russia has all the capabilities to produce conventional as well as nuclear weapons, and they don't need any military help from china. secondly, china does not sail weapon to our war parties. in this case, are russia on the one hand and ukraine. on the other hand,
6:11 pm
it is ever was knowledge that it is the united states and nato members, which keep pouring more weapons into your gray leading to prolonging the war rather than ended the war. and i think china is opposed to sending more weapons by the united states and any of the western countries to your cray and china will not do similar things. charlotte was the only country now advocating peace to end the war rather than prolong in the war. so how then does it convince because in term now, the russians had not indicated an interest in negotiations? how does she convince pertain to go to the negotiating table? first of all, peace is member easy. and in this particular situation in your crane peace may be very difficult, but we shall never give up hope on peace. and a war may be easy actually, but war is not the right way going forward for russia as well as for you cree,
6:12 pm
therefore ice each other's correct at this right? philosophically speaking, politically speaking, as well as in terms of peace versus war. and i think history will really a make a final decision that china's advocacy will piece is the best interest for russia, as well as for ukraine, and eventually it will prevail. moving away from the ukraine conflict. victor, the 2 leaders we've heard today in moscow or phrase their partnership, but it's a partnership. we know where be jean. china is the senior partner here. what is china hoping to get out of this visit and this relationship with moscow? from the chinese perspective, a china rush out completely equal and we treat each other as equal. we look at each other as equal and, and we want to promote, what are they already related? absolutely, i think are a rash or is it all stripped zoom anyways. china has its own strengths in many ways
6:13 pm
and the 2 countries are highly complimentary in many ways. and the key is that we look at each other as brothers and sisters, which are a very long border of 4300 kilometers long, which is an arm very, very unusual, which is the order of peace, good neighborliness and corporation. no country in the world should fact they can throw a which into china, but they must, it must be areas where they do not align. oh, my don't think so. i think her china, russia, in terms of jewel politics. so many of the international issues are we see eye to eye on the issues. for example, we promote multilateralism, who refused to acknowledge any country as the over law for the rest of the world. and we advocate to market polarity international relations rather than accepting any country to pretend to be the are unit coal,
6:14 pm
or the large or over all of the gone for the rest of the world. i don't think china and russia want to live in a world of, you know, put polarity or any country dominating over any other countries in the world. ok. thank you so much for talking to thank you for sharing the view from beijing davis to go from there center for china and globalization. we appreciate your time. thank you. i. meanwhile, russia has opened a case against the international criminal court prosecutor and judges. it comes after the i c. c issued an arrest warrant for president, put in last week over the alleged deportation of children from ukraine. russia's investigative committee says the probe against the court is based on it's an awful decision to seek president proteins, arrests. the u. k. and the netherlands are hosting an international conference to shore up support for the i. c. c. britain's justice secretary dominic rob says the court decision to issue an arrest warrant for put in was an historic moment. that
6:15 pm
since a much stronger, i'm will fall reaching message right around the world to do sports and dictators everywhere, that they will be brought to justice. they will be held to account. and as we come together today, i hope, and i believe it serves to underlying the importance of ensuring that the i c c. as every support for the crucial work that it is doing off am on this conference. let's speak to join a hole in london where the conference is taking place. jonah, tell us about what's come out of the talk says so far, and how do europe and countries plan on supporting the i see, see more well, it's not just european countries across 40 nations represented here. that's by no means all of the signatories, the rome statute that founded the i c. c. but perhaps most of the western ones and they will be pledges of funding. there will be pledges of more resources to help the i c. c to support it. it's ongoing sort of investigations into war crimes in
6:16 pm
ukraine that will eventually of course be a vast scope and will take many years. and we'll have to look both ways. it's not just the russians who are committing war crimes in all likelihood. it is a country at war, but it's a collective sort of re affirming of commitment to that journey towards international justice. the 1st big step, of course, on that journey, were these arrest warrants for prison food present. president putin and his children's rights commissioner on friday arrest warrants that raise a number of questions that will be discussed here at will he ever president putin see the inside of a dock at the i. c. c onset, probably not. russia is not a signatory to the i. c. c. some countries that it still does business with are those like south africa? what happens, for instance in august, if president putin as expected attends a brick summit there in august south africa would be under obligation to arrest him
6:17 pm
. and it also raises questions as the prosecutor kareem khan pointed out about the very concept and efficacy of international justice that they're all focusing their minds on. now kareem khan said at the start of this that countries here needed to find the stamina to deliver justice, calling the conflict in ukraine, a moment of reawakening for the i. c c system. he said this needs to be a moment when we realised that if we don't cling to the law, we may have nothing to cling to in the future. jonah, thank you very much. we have lost our connection to join at our general house in london with the latest had conference on the i see see plenty more head on the news hour, including banking stocks in europe and asia tumble. why wall street sense mixed signals after switzerland's katy swiss is rescued by its rival u. b. s. in sport. barcelona score. what could prove to be a decisive goal in the race to win the spanish meantime?
6:18 pm
ah, let's take you to france now where the government of president emanuel, my car, is facing to no confidence votes in parliament over his controversial pension reform. these are life pictures from the session opposition. politicians are angry about my com, bypassing parliament, and pushing through his brand to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. now for the motions to pass parties from across france as deeply divided national assembly would have to unite. one motion was brought by the sentries, a block and supported by the left wing new best coalition. together they make up a $167.00 seeds. the other was introduced by the right wing national rally, which has 89 dep members of parliament for either motion to pass said need the backing of 27 of the 64 conservative republicans by the parties leader has ordered
6:19 pm
them not to oppose the government if the government of my calls renaissance party survives the vote. the controversial pension reform bill will pass in likely bring more protest. let's go live to natasha butler in paris. natasha. tell us 1st about what's been happening inside the national assembly. this are well and peas, however, arrived we can see them there in the session, they have begun examining the text of these 2 no confidence motions that were tabled by 2 parliamentary groups against the government. as there is a lot of anger in parliament among some lawmakers over the government's decision to push through it's controversial pension reform bill. by decree, it is a critical day for the french government, a test. but what we imagine will happen, what is the most likely to happen, is that the governments will probably succeed in surviving these no confidence heights. because it seems at least on paper,
6:20 pm
unlikely that there will be the numbers needed for those no confidence of faces to actually go through. if by any chance they were to succeed though, what would happen is the price of my goal would have to either dissolve the assembly or re shuffle his cabinet. either way, be the end of the road for the pension reform bill say critical days. i said for the french government. okay, so the what in terms of what happens next as far as the protests and what are we expecting would have been protest since the beginning of the year. they've intensified over the past few days since the government to push through this bill. by decree, a loss of anger trade unions of asked for a new nationwide a protest day and strikes on thursday. people feel incredibly frustrated with not only the reformer itself, the pension bill, they're upset about the idea of having to work longer. they were upset about the
6:21 pm
idea of having to contribute longer to receive a full pension. but not only that, the method by which this bill was pushed it through the parliament, has left many people feeling as if the government simply isn't hearing ordinary people is disconnected from ordinary people. and a lot of people talking about this feeling very much like a yellow vest movement of it is get the sense that the dominant is simply out of touch with the concerns of ordinary people. government say that this pension reform is absolutely vital if it is to sustain, is rather complex pension system for future generations. but those protest continues. i said, a lot of anger present macros. a popularity seems to have tumbled opinion polls suggest to some of its lowest levels in recent years. thank you very much for that . natasha would keep a close eye on what's happening inside the french monument with you throughout the hour. here on al jazeera natasha butler live in paris. at the window of opportunity
6:22 pm
to be commie, changes rapidly closing extreme weather events will only get worse unless the world acts now to secure a livable future. for all the soc predictions are outlined in a un report that's expected to shape climate policy in the years to come. i environment editor, any clark explains in every country on every continent, the climate emergency is taking hold. this is milan away, hundreds dead, hundreds of thousands displaced. the cause, a record breaking cycling on the other side of the world in argentina, endless brutal heat compounding droughts with farmers facing losses, estimated at $14000000000.00. so now we have this latest call to arms from the united nations with what should become the fundamental policy document for shaping climate action. it is the distillation of years of work by hundreds of scientists. and these are the key points in the past decade that have been 15 times more deaths from drowns floods and storms and more vulnerable regions, carbon emissions,
6:23 pm
they need to drop and rapidly. in fact, they need to cut by almost half in just 7 years. if global warming is to be limited to one and a half degrees celsius baths a rapid and far reaching transition could pull us back from the brink. and to help do that, developed countries need to stump up hundreds of billions of dollars every year to vulnerable nations. something they've so far failed to do whether or not swelled leaders with that is another matter. it's not as if they weren't warnings long ago . and this was for men, nasa, climate scientists, james hanson way, back in 1988. altogether. this evidence represents a very strong case in my opinion that the greenhouse effect has been detected and it is changing our climate now. well, as we now know, the well didn't listen 35 years on fossil fuel emissions continue to increase along with colossal profits for the oil, johns, and temperatures. yes,
6:24 pm
of course they're going up to and now say the experts once and for all we need to act before that window of opportunity slam shut. all i saw speak to i d team of care g who is one of the authors of the i p. c. c synthesis report. she's ly from interlocking where the report was released earlier today. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us. this is the combination of work by hundreds of scientists and experts, including yourself over 8 years. what makes this report? first of all, more important than any other report you've worked on this report is extremely part is irrelevant because it's providing a synthesis of all of the science and the policy work that has happened in the i p . c. c, though is a combination of the 6 reports that happened in the cycle. and it's actually also telling us that right in the reality is dire. there is reason for whole and that's because the report also lists
6:25 pm
a whole lot of solution that can be and should be implemented on an origin basis for us to avoid some of the or just some of the crisis that was described. let's talk about some of those solutions because the report covers various aspects of course, of a climate crisis. what is the most immediate and drastic action that countries need to make to prevent our planet from overheating to dangerous levels? most importantly, is wrapped in deep wrap. it and sustain reductions in emissions in greenhouse emissions and to be on the track for $1.00 degree. we have to hop admissions by the end of this decade. having said that, what is also equally needed is we already know that impacts are happening and those who are facing most of them back to some of the most vulnerable, the ones who have not emitted to the ones who have admitted the lease of the most valuable so adaptation also is extremely important for helping those vulnerable
6:26 pm
communities to adapt better to the impact. but one of the main findings of the report is that even though even the way we adapt, what we're doing today will be as effective at a higher level of global warming. so mitigation reducing emissions is one of the most important climate solutions. yeah. followed by the dish. yeah, the report cost for the reduction of fossil fuel emissions, but as you know, the world too big is pollutants, china and the u. s. a. continuing to to approve new fossil fuel projects just last week. the biden administration approved an enormous oil drilling project in alaska . they clearly seems to be a lack of political will the record on denies the importance of the report actually says that we have the solution that was required, our political venue, governance policies and institutions to actually implement those solutions. just as if, if we don't know what we need to do,
6:27 pm
we know we have the solutions. now what we need is that political commitment and the way to go ahead and do what's needed to secure a livable future for us and for our chin. what are the strategies and to reduce fossil fuel emissions? how do you convince these governments that are still going? i think the job, the i p c. c, synthesis report we assign just is to provide a whole lot of options. a menu of options of how to go ahead and then it actually remains with the policy makers of how they want to implement. so as scientists, we have done our job in providing those evidence and for to be taken up by the policy makers. so the report is understand a benchmark for government discussions on climate change and it lays the groundwork for the next comp meeting into by at the end of this year. not last year's comic talks in china schaick language calling, for example, for an end to fossil fuels. was struck from the, the final agreement after pressure from several or producing countries. you wonder
6:28 pm
how valid this process you and kind of process is when recommendations that are made by scientists like itself are simply ignored. again, as i say, the scientist, our job is to provide that evidence and the way these implemented needs a lot to be desired, as you are very rightly pointing out the other big part of the report that we talked about this time and was also talked about in the showroom and she is around losses and damages to we put the 1st time, have every didn't saying that losses. and i mean this is already happening is not as if we have to wait for the future to see those losses in damages. and we talk about the importance of finance in the context of not only overall climate finance, but also the lawson damage fund that he's been set up. so there are those very important findings from the report that we, a scientist hope would be taken up at 3. that's needed to tackle this huge crisis. ok, thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us at the t more catchy. joining
6:29 pm
us live on the news, our while peru is facing some of those impacts of climate change. heavy rain and landslides have put thousands of lives at rest there. and a cyclone, as well as a warmer than normal sea waters, are making the situation worse. marianna sanchez reports from lima ah, coastal areas from north to central bid, who are in state of emergency. dozens of lance lights have buried. holes. plots have washed away villages. thousands of people have been left homeless. it is the rainy season here, but the dilute is heavier than usual climate experts say the ocean's temperature in the north coast is at least one degree warmer. they blame that on a phenomena called the nino, and it could spell more rain and mudslides sciatica from us. but the only thing we are totally vulnerable, any excessive rain continues activating landslides, and we still have a month and a half left. anything can happen, the a brisk,

6:31 pm
percent of produce population are at risk. many complain that government doesn't have a plan for them for you. so the state doesn't have a social housing policy. the state implicitly says, i do not give you housing, but you can occupy the public land. you want from time to time, i will give you water and other services. the government is focused in tackling the emergency. experts say river drainage and channeling systems must be built along the coast. but people like you'll, you'll see the need urgent solutions for now his community will have to hope they won't become the next victims of the extreme weather. medina, such as a, just he'd a lean still ahead on the news our ah lease or our enforcement. kenny, as the opposition stage, is demonstrations against the president over the rising cost of living in sport, red bulls bibles are left wondering what to do next. after the 2nd race of formula,
6:32 pm

6:34 pm
ah. when the news breaks, some buildings that had already been damaged, have been further pushed over to one side, others, but were close to collapse when need to be heard. and the story told, i couldn't tell them that i was a musician when i was supposed to be proud with exclusive interviews, an in depth 2 pools. each centimeter of this stuff represents a year of why al jazeera has teens on the ground to bring documentaries and lives. lou ah ah,

6:36 pm
international 8 has started to arrive in rescue. teams are still looking for those stranded by the flood waters for me to me that traveled to the songy district, which has been cut off for days. it's been a 5 day wait. and finally, help has arrived monday, really to my regular to when very pin for waiting for a board to get to the amendment was yet is not food. we are very hungry among those wait and to be saved is for tim afraid and her child visit anymore. and only so much by the grace of god that we live, because our friends were taken by the water offering that they need. they are dozens more stories like these in my congress, central malawi. the area lies between 2 large rivers and heavy rain and wind from sycold pretty have caused intense flooding, cutting its people off from food, water, electricity, and help facilities. farm land and crops had been devastated. a rescue operation is

6:38 pm
also cut off from surrounding towns and cities. but after 3 cyclops, in 18 months, people in this district, a quickly adjusting and just as quickly are beginning to revolt with the little they have. for me de la al jazeera and sandra district malawi, the u. s. federal reserve and other central banks have launched a coordinated effort to keep dollars flowing through the lobel financial system. this is after the swiss government backed a takeover of credit suisse as countries 2nd largest bang bites main rival, u. b. s credit suisse managers around $1.00 trillion dollars around the world. its profits dropped significantly in 2022, falling nearly $8000000000.00 after losing $2000000000.00 in 2021. it shares have been in sharp declines in 2021. if no loss more than 95 percent of their value in the past 5 years. and i will speak to nick barker who is in london financial district. but 1st let's go to wall street and gable elizondo at the new york stock

exchange. how are the songs reacting their gape well, least so far on monday, positively, primarily due to the deal, to help rescue credit suisse. the markets here on wall street seem to be act reacting very positively to that news. all of the major indices, the nasdaq, the s and p 500 and the dow, or all trading and positive territory. that's good news considering the last week or so where the market was fluctuating a bit, as they were trying to digest the banking crisis here in the united states. and that has been increasingly expanding globally as well. the key here is containment . that is what wall street wants to see they want to see is this banking crisis in the united states contained to the regional banks, or could it spread? and it appears at least for now,
6:40 pm
that there's the belief that it could be contained and not spread any further. but that does not mean that the wider economic situation is particularly positive for the medium or long term we're already seeing. for example, amazon announcing on monday they'll be laying off another $9000.00 employees at all points to how the market's reacting to the banking crisis. there are still certainly a lot of issues going on in a tech sector as well, with massive layoffs. ok, thank you for that. gabriel elizondo in new york. let's cross over to london now and nice baka. so a positive reaction on wall street as we heard from gay bare bunny we saw just re markets in europe earlier despite u. b. s. s. takeover of curtis's yeah, that's right. i think across the board and the still on of trading on monday he got his think sense that people felt that the, a financial crisis on the scale of 2008 was said no way in sight. but nevertheless,
6:41 pm
there were jettas across european markets. we saw a fluctuation in the share price. the european central bank, i think, will be largely because of the unorthodox mainshine of this takeover. let's not forget the abs was essentially strong armed into taking over credit suisse at the behest of the swiss central bank without consulting shareholders. of course, that's incredibly unorthodox, big concerns about what that means in the future. whether that sense the precedent and as such that affect the share prices of e b. s. and start of trading on monday they found 12 percent small. so those are some outstanding questions about work forces as well, particularly here in london, where you be has a round 6200 workers credit suisse 5000. we know that according to u. b. s. chair, chairperson, that they will be a degree of streamlining possibly some cutbacks moves to perhaps jettisoned some of
6:42 pm
the more risky parts of the credit suisse financial portfolio going forward. but whether or not that streamlining also applies to the credit suisse. workforce is still really off the air. thank you for that need back. i live there in london to south africa now where the economic freedom fighters, opposition party says its mass protests and national shut down. are a success. oh, hundreds of the groups members protested in the capital pretoria in other parts of the country. they've been calling for the president to be removed and want the rolling power outages to end lease and true swan hi alert to maintain security harm . latasha has more from pretoria, we're not going to say hold on to wait with the country to the left. that is like you this will in the head. he's a leader of yahoo! this is a policy a he's leaving you. support is president still wrap up was obviously he's
