will get an update from cape town. and how close is the global climate to a tipping point? the answer concerns us all looking at the findings and warnings from the biggest research exposition ever. go to the opposite. the, the i bring off our viewers on p b s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome you. as president joe biden has arrived in geneva, switzerland saying he's ready for a tough encounter with russian president vladimir putin. a massive security effort has been mobilized for the meeting, which comes at a low point in us. russia relations the list of u. s. complaints is long, expectations are low, but biden has promised to lay down clear red lines in what could be hours of talks

more another day. another city, air force one touch down in geneva, after a whole week in europe. joe biden, now face of a very different meeting on wednesday, he'll sit down with the rochelle vladimir putin at a time of frosty ties between the countries among the issues of contention, rushes roll in ukraine, and it's cracked down on opposition. activists at home, a sharp contrast to the cordial meetings in brussels with you leaders early on tuesday, whereby, and announced a reset of washington agenda. americans. we are committed, we have never fully left, but we are researching back and it's overwhelming. the interest of you know, think americans have a great relationship with me. they don't have a very different than my predecessor that you and us announced the truth over the both boeing trade dispute,

which will lead to the suspension of billions of dollars in tariffs, the conflict over subsidies to the rival aircraft makers had been going on for 17 years the decision is seen as a move to join forces to stand up to a more assertive china the agreement we have followed now really opens a new chapter in our relationship. because we move from litigation to cooperation on aircraft. and that after almost 20 years of dispute, it is the longest trade dispute in the history of w t o. a more glaring rivalry will be at play in geneva on wednesday, although the bite and putin meeting provides some room for cooperation. both sides have nevertheless played down expectations of any major reset in relation or let's go to our correspondence. rieger. he joins me now from geneva, switzerland,

good evening to you better. we know that you as president, he is going into this meeting saying that he's going to be talking tough or do we know what does he want to get out of this meeting? he wants a better relationship with russia, although both presidents admit that the relations at a low point, so it can only get better from here. vitamin said in television interview was put in as a killer and to didn't, said about biden and another television, if you, he's a much men behaving like a hollywood figure. so we can guess the atmosphere between these 2 men is not the best at all. but nevertheless, they have also feuds of common interest. and it's, for example, it comes to loosely disarmament or the control of nuclear weapons, then those russia and the states are willing to, to work together and to talk about new treaties. but here in geneva, this is only a start that will not be real negotiation saver only assess their different

viewpoint on many, many topics around the world from ukraine, olivia, to syria, and many other conflicts and big. what does that tell us then about the current state of relations between the u. s. and rush. well, other said they, i have a very low point. but both sides have also place that they have one to try to improve that. because also that is in the interest of both nations actually. and mr . put in the president of russia, said he expects a more reasonable and reliable president with joe biden, because donald trump is previous, has a, it was not very predictable. i experience also the summit 3 years ago and hasn't even been just sitting there and grinning and enjoying himself by watching it from destroying more or less. the relationship in this no has to change. and joe biden also says this will never happen again. so this summit will be very different. it's

tone of corresponding band ridge, all the round force there in geneva, switzerland band. thank you. so the stage is set in switzerland. can we expect any concrete outcomes when both president sit down to talk? i put that question to charles kitchen from the council on foreign relations in the united states. you know, this is more than a photo op. i don't think that by nor would be going to geneva to sit down if they didn't have at least some expectation of trying to late, but make the relationship between the 2 less toxic. do i expect to see breakthroughs on cyber on human rights on ukraine? no, is there a common agenda that perhaps they could work together? pandemic, the arctic nuclear nonproliferation. might they be able to at least have a conversation about strategic stability and next steps and arms control?

yes. so i do you see, this is a way of saying, hey, we looked into the bring our relationship was on a slippery slope downward. let's see if we can do better and maybe just maybe down the road. this meeting will prove to begin to put the relationship on a more even keel. and what about the importance of the relationship between these 2 men, buys and has called boot and the killer who has disgrace or accused biting of behaving like a hollywood. much, i mean, does, does that factor into any possibility of progress coming after this meeting? well, these 2 leaders do not come in looking for a romance like trump. and on the other hand, you know, biden is a pragmatist bite, is someone who believes in the personal side of diplomacy. so i think he will try to invest in some kind of working relationship with one other issue that i think

needs to be on the table, although neither side is going to talk about it deliberately. and that's china. i think at the end of the day, vitamins much more worried about china than he is about russia, and i'm guessing it is growing quietly uncomfortable with china. so part of this conversation might be about trying to improve the western relationship with russia in a way that contains trying to leverage and gives moscow a little bit of breathing room in its relationship with bay jay. that's just a guess. but i think at what, it's, what might be going on behind the scenes. yeah, there is a lot of attention on this, this meeting between the 2 leaders has a lot of attention on russia. i do wonder, in your opinion, is the us russia problem is that they be taking all of the oxygen away from the greater discussion, the greater threat that is china. you know,

i don't think so. i think this has been a good week for joe biden. he went in to this trip with one main objective, and that is rebuilding transatlantic solidarity, sang america and liberal democracy are back. he comes out of the g 7, the nato, the u. s. e u summit, with a strong sense of transatlantic solidarity. that is the most important message that i think he can send to both russia and china. he sent it and i think he had into the meeting in geneva with wind in his sails as a result. i mean, would you say then that when he goes back to washington after this whirlwind tour of europe, that we will be looking at a, a strengthened us president a strengthened us president abroad. yes. a strengthen us president at homes, remain to be seen. i think bible has bent over backwards during the trip to say to

americans, i'm doing best for the middle class. i'm investing in relationships abroad to build the us economy. but he's going to go back to a very polarized america. and a huge question in the coming weeks is, will he get bipartisan support for the big, ambitious domestic agenda that he has laid out that in many respects, is the $6000000.00 question. yeah, you may be wishing he could come back to europe next week. we will see charles, come with the council on foreign relations in the u. s. is because we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. good to see you. thank you. our lives, take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, fresh protested, broken out to me and more against the countries ruling military hunter. despite heavy rain, hundreds stick to the streets and the countries south to demand the return to civilian rule demonstrations come a day after opposition leader on songs. when she went on trial,

police had early on and security is there any security forces had early on, couldn't off most of the area around damascus gate. many of the palestinian shops had to close, we saw. 5 that they were asked to close, and most of the residents were not in the area. so they cordoned off everything to avoid any confrontation of the ultra nation is inviting protesters really protest this went down, they were allowed to go down to damascus gauge, which is the main gate. and to loosen one of the main gates there with a, with a plaza, and they were allowed to go there with their flags and marched it, and to stay there for a while and to dance around. and there were some scenes. i could see, you know, where they shouted desa to our ups and you know, there were some applications but no direct confrontations. a lot of security forces, of course. so this is we also saw some palestinians that arrested was

most of them were pushed back into other parts of the city. now as you said, the tensions were high because he had threatened if the smart schools had to act on it. they were also some a balloon send from the gaza strip into southern israel with explosives on them, causing some fires. but we understand also some diplomatic efforts going on through egypt to calm down the tensions. these were some reports that we heard here in telling you the ultra nationalist is really insisting that this march take place, considering what has happened the last couple of weeks, particularly with home was, i mean, it looks like they want to provoke the palestinians. is that the case? well this march is all about showing who is in control over to slim and slim for israel. it's, it's capital, it's, it's unified capital. and as you said,

it's marking jerusalem day. it was actually postponed. jerusalem day was and beginning of may, and that's also the day when the last escalation, the war between us and broke out at the time because it had been a lot of tensions beforehand. so for those marches here, they're coming down here to show you know, to celebrate the capture and then the unification as they see it of 279-2674 palestinians. this is a provocation, but it's also happening every year. so it's every year on that with them day because for palestinians it's an occupied east, jerusalem, and they want to see it as the capital in their future state or so on. your claim with us tonight from jerusalem on years. always thank you. sciences or warning that the sea ice around the north pole is shrinking at the fastest rate on record. and

we know this thanks to research teams aboard the ship. pull osh, stan, they have spent a year examining the effects of climate change isabel far finished analyzing their results. they found that temperatures have warmed so much that the world could be near what they see is a tipping point. it's simply a picture of the output and the world's climate system. snow and ice cover some parts of the north pole all year round. the polar stand reset ship and its team. a scientist spent a year frozen here drifting with the ice flow. the early findings from their research show that the out take ice is spinning and that's in spring 2020. the c retreated faster than ever before. in autumn, the eye 3 froze later than usual. the furious that the some sea ice in the arctic could soon disappear completely. scientists say this is

a warning. the world can't ignore. that shows how many changes in the arctic are and that we're about to lose to completely lose the summer arctic sea ice. and that is one of the importing important tipping points and climate system. the team compared their findings with a 130 years worth of records about the ice. the scientists say the earth is close to the point of irreversible climate change. but there is still time. now we need to act quickly. now we need to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases drastically. and we need to do that during the next decade by the meat of the sentry at the latest. we need to be climate neutral. oh, months after this, happy home coming in germany last year. the results are now out. scientists hope

the world will take action on climate change before it's too late. well, here's an update. now on some of the developments in the corona virus pandemic, greenland has suspended air and see travel from its capital because of a new cove in 1900 outbreak. after months of having no reported cases. and you analysis of blood samples suggest the corona virus was already circulating in the us in december 2019. the 1st cases in the country were officially reported in january 2020. and the number of births in germany. junk 10 percent in march compared to last year. the pandemic baby boom brings berks in germany to their highest level in more than 2 decades. well, south africa is twining its corona virus restrictions. and with a surge in new cases, president, i'm opposed to address the nation a short time ago saying that the rising infections are a major concern. he also and else plans to step up the country's vaccination drive

in the coming weeks of opposing said to 1000000 doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine are expected to be delivered by the end of june or more joined by our correspondent age increase. he is in cape town to night. good evening to you, adrian. so what did the new restrictions? what exactly did they include? 2 main things. brent effort of all the amount of people that are allowed together was to reduce that goes for religious gatherings as well as funeral. it's like tablet. and the other key point is that the curfew would extend it before it was starting at 11 p. m. and now it's going to be 10 pm so you can see it, but such a drastic different than what we had looked on every we had before. and actually many people had to pay to the stronger lockdown to come right now. it's rising numbers, especially people were discussing about the spend, what we had here before 3 times already that the sale of alcohol was not allowed. i'm up with that. the site is not to announce that although some health professionals have called for it,

because in the past it could really help to reduce the numbers of people who came into hospitals. the trauma related hospital admission due to glue related accident and fighting, went down big time during the 2nd wave, and that gave health professional space to take out cobit patients, but hasn't happened so far, but since the numbers are rising, it's certainly still on the table for the next weeks, if you want about vaccination drives me how the vaccination drives coming along. well, that's actually the big problem. south africa can't count on the vaccination drive for this 3rd wave because it's just going on to no less than 2 percent of the population. we're back to native off, south africa has ordered a big scene for 75 percent of the population, but only a fraction of that had arrived in the country because of global supply problem. so it's not african simply doesn't get the amount that the country would like to have . and this is a big problem with us. been trying to address the, trying to push needed in western countries all the to do need more of a team. it hasn't really happened yet, and then we had the big step back just 2 days ago when it turned out that to

1000000 johnson johnson, those that are already in the country cannot be used because they were possibly contaminated in the production process. back in the u. s. w said you increase the latest from keep town tonight. adrian, thank you. the tech giant, ibm has unveiled its 1st quantum computer outside the united states and the 1st ever here in germany. now this revolutionary technology, it has the potential to vast. the apple form today's fastest computers and once fully developed, it will be a global game changer for science and business. trying to and the united states are investing heavily in quantum research. now, europe is trying to catch up quantum system. one is the vanguard of a new golden age in computing. it was developed by the us tick giant idea and presented to the public in southern germany. the 1st commercial quantum computer on european soil,

the spot it's unethical. visiting the beginning of the end for traditional computing, which won't be able to live up all the challenges in store for of excellence. is it being run by germany, scholars who are for society, which these quantum system one as the future of its core competence applied research to big advantage of quantum computing is the amount of data it can process similarities. lee, for example, calculating the most efficient route through a complex network of roads. traditional computers approached a problem by working out every possible route one by one and then comparing them. a quantum computer can calculate all possible roofs at the same time. many of the components of quantum system, one when manufactured in germany, been vegas. we can work together to establish ourselves in the senior stream. we can go from being a country of common hone and builders to a country that really leads the way in quantum computing. shooting fuel and is off . but for now, most of the investment comes from companies in the u. s. which german chancellor

angle america wants to change with 2000000000 years in research funding isn't as a but in the competition is already very intense. and germany wants to be part of this technology, played, macro wants germany to build its own quantum computer within the next 5 years. can digitalization strengthen our democracy? does social media? does it help or hinder the drive towards equality and how has coded impacted journalism in the arts in africa? well, there's just some of the questions that are being explored. this year's d w global media for. here's an overview. for the 14th time politicians, artists, journalists, scientists, and influencers have come together in germany's former parliament buildings in bond . for the dodge of allot, global media for him. the form is a space to debate, the hot button issues, shaping the world. but the ongoing global cove at 19 pandemic has had an impact on

shafan believes that writers have a social responsibility to stand up and be heard. if you happen to be right, the democracies, you do not have the luxury of saying, you know what, i'm going to talk about what's happening outside the winner. because we write this, i'm not disconnect. from societies where we come from. social media is in the focus at the global media for him with guests, including bloggers and influencers, like actually being that. so he's got 41000000 followers worldwide, including 17000000 in brazil, abroad sluggers like him are playing and increasingly important role in combating political lives and distortions. nato has become a sharp critic of brazilian president. you're both in are all right now what brazil is facing the very different and special situation that is very delicate. so what i
