[000:00:00;00] with the w news line from berlin, russia and china join forces to oppose nato expansion. let me put in chapel summation for talks with g j paying ahead of the olympics. both at odds with the west. the 2 leaders signal close of ty is ahead. also on the program, european union joins germany in condemning russia's decision to ban deutsche a valid w's. moscow bureau is forced to shut down in retaliation from russia's state broadcast

a r t not being allowed to broadcast in germany on the winter olympics. begin in beijing, fireworks light up the sky and the opening ceremony in the chinese capital. beijing to comes 1st city to host summer and winter games. ah, i'm from gail. welcome to the program. china has joined to russia and criticizing nato expansion. i need to president, she's in pain and russian president vladimir putin met in beijing ahead of the opening of the winter olympics. and this comes in that growing tensions over russia's troop build up on an order with ukraine. the statement from the to leave is the highlighted agreement and proposed cooperation on a raft of issues including energy supplies. we stemming major protest movements to bless, get more from a journalist or fabian crouch,

my in beijing. welcome fabian. so talk us through the main points emerging from this meeting. yet the meeting was quite remarkable. i mean, what we expected and what are so many analysts taught me, is that both sides will announce some energy deal, some corporation. but the meeting went far beyond that. the statement was already quite a long, 5300 words and had really strong political message is a message that was mainly aimed at to washington and to some degree also to brussels. so both sides or po, oppose, an expansion of nato. the both m. o, m a post, the trilateral em military corporation between m, australia, united states, enter the united kingdom, arcus, and, and basically, they shawl and solidarity towards each other. moscow and paging. they show unity and demonstrate that they have a common and shared

a foreign policy interests and they, that the ex or pulse also m a u. s. lead world order, so to speak. right? and a bit of domestic issues in there as well. that pledging, closer cooperation to stem political protest movements to what is that likely to involve what that's a good question. they left it quite wake and am cynically speaking, at least from the chinese perspective. am it's hard to imagine why i'm bating would still need any assistance or cooperation with moscow to stem protest because that's what they do every day. just to day one activists in hong kong was arrested. why? because he was trying to protest against the olympic a winter games which started today because it's against the national security law. and that gives you an idea how strict it already is. there is no descent or am dissent possible within the mainland and also in hong kong. and their protest movement basically disappeared already. so um yeah,

it cannot even escalate any further. so i would guess, and we have to wait and see what that will mean in the future or, and cross of the big issue is the russian true build up or on, on it's borders with ukraine? what has been china stance on that and how does to day statement a fit in with that? yet it's quite ambivalent. so a china official stands is that they support a peaceful um solution in the ukraine conflict. however, today, statement showed very clearly that the solidarity of begging is with moscow and m. how far that will go. however, we're not sure. i mean, we know that a baiting doesn't want any further military escalation during the winter games because that's the estate of presenting themselves and they don't want any interference. however, am, if, for example, russia would invade ukraine than it would also be tactical knowledge for china itself because they have the issue on their own. they have a conflict with taiwan. and even though the makers are slightly different and

separate, there is some parallel. and if a china, for example, sees that the west will not oppose strongly a possible invasion in ukraine, then maybe they could also feel more confident in containing town. ok, thank you for that fabric crash more in beijing. let's get more on the european response to that statement from the chinese and russian that presidents will join i . d. w correspondent at jack barrack, in brussels at welcome jack. let's start with nato and our nato likely to be concerned about china. china, citing with russia in this way, or is this just sort of business as usual? i think it was a pretty expected position from the chinese we heard from the chinese foreign minister a few weeks ago saying that it rushes and security concerns when ye go legitimate. so i think nato was understanding that china's position was kind of in this way, but it's quite

a strong statement. phil. they saying that need to should not be expanding. and this is the russian demand that ukraine in georgia should never be able to become nato members. because that would then take the military alliance is borders all the way up to russia and oversee ex soviet states. that would be then in the nato military alliance major though it's position remains the same. it has this open door policy and the nato position is that any country has a sovereign right to decide how it wants to set up its own security arrangements. ok, so that's nato. let's talk about that. the e, which has been sort of sidelined during this latest flare up between russia and ukraine. has there been any response from brussels? the spokespeople today from the european commission as a sort of rebuff that suggested that they've been sidelined because it has really been the leaders specifically the french and german leaders who've been sort of

taking the firmest role in this to try and talk to russia and to try and negotiate the de escalation and also try and play a firm card. but the european union commission today said actually that this is part of a coordinated coordinated effort. and all of the european positions are discussed here in brussels and, and combined to just put forward by particular leaders. i mean, they can say that, but protein has made it clear that his business is with the united states and he expects that european leaders to fall in behind that and present macro. as you mentioned, to said that he's flying to moscow to try and diffuse this. is it too cynical to see this as, as him tried to stretch on the, the world stage ahead of electrons in april? i mean, there's no harm for a leader that are in an election cycle to look strong and powerful on the international stage, surely. but i do think the micron is trying to really lead for from the european position to try and negotiate to the escalation. he's had quite

a few phone calls with vladimir putin, russian president over the last few weeks. as you say, he'll go to moscow, we'll have to wait and see how that goes exactly how it goes down. we also know that the german chancellor left shows is planning a trip to moscow as well. but as you say, really, where this comes down to is the negotiations between the kremlin and the white house. thank you for that. jack jack park in brussels. leo fin union has joined the german government in condemning moscow's decision to shut down the russian operations of fis channel torture vella. the foreign ministry said the decision would increase the strain on already tense at german russian relations. authorities of close t w's office in moscow revoked accreditations for our journalists and benz d. w. broadcasts in russia. as of today. though each of ellis, moscow office is now closed and the w's journalist can no longer work from russia.

the russian government announced on thursday that it would shut down d w's bureau, and revoke the accreditation of the w's journalists and russia. it also said, in the statement, it would terminate the satellite and other broadcasting output of deutsch. avella in the country. the measures come after germany's media regulators banned the german language broadcasting of russia's state media, r t for operating with our license. the german government says russia's actions are unjustified. people disagree with german government, strongly condemned. the measures being taken against ojo vela, the measures are completely unfounded and go against the principles of freedom of the press portraying this as being a legitimate response. the german authorities decision to prohibit ortiz broadcasting due to licensing issues is neither legally nor substantively understandable. not what's he bar? germany's commissioner for culture and media criticize the decision and called it hostile. yes,

ma globe is these drastic measures from the russian side are not acceptable by any means. allan, for melissa, shes either always for to it is a truly aggressive act as, as in victory. i don't, we don't need aggressive acts. all we need dialogue act is on. we need de escalation and not escalation that so wouldn't managed as colored so the russian government also said it plans to initiate proceedings to label deutsch avella, as a media outlets acting as a foreign agent, a designation that carries further government scrutiny. for now, d. w is considering possible legal avenues and says it will not stop reporting on russia. russia. let's take a closer look at this with d. w 's, editor in chief, manuela casper. clarity. welcome to the studio title. let's start with what d w is doing about reversing this decision. well, our colleagues had to give back their accreditation today. it's a foreign ministry, unfortunately,

but we will certainly take legal action. we have spoken to our solicitors and to leave her go and negotiate. of course, also with the russian or authorities next week, or there's already an appointment been made and we see how we proceed from there. and what reason has moscow given for for closing down dw separations? well, as you had a report or the russian state own broadcast her r t, germany, or was told to shut down its services or to broadcast in germany because they don't have a papa license for darcia avelaire, it's probably, it's totally different because we have a license or had a license up till to day to broadcast in russia and now's his license has been taken away. and the reason see russian authorities are given given is retaliation. they have said that this week are the victims of this retaliation. so. so just to be clear, the rational authorities,

her said we are closing you down because you closer to you down. exactly. ok. why is 0 is not us understood? why does this matter? why does it matter for whom, for us, why, why, why does it matter if a dodge of other that russia chooses to close down operations in their country? obviously, i mean, we need to feed them to report in russia, you can't report, then you don't have accreditation. it's, it's forbidden, you know, that means our journalist can't work from today on, and we have quite a bit of his air and we do extensive reporting from russia. it's a vain, important reach for us, you know, a stuff in any danger. well, hopefully not. but there could be in danger if they are declared phone agent, because that means if say where to do a report then since say,

have been proclaimed for an agent. they can get a, they can go to court, you know, and so it's that can be dangerous for them. but at the moment, no, our staff is not in danger. and of course the on continuous contact the sim and even look after them. we do whatever we can. and so what, what happens is, what are they doing while the 2 governments rankel was unfortunate at the moment. we have to wait, how sinks they're developed, but we have plants and we will as go on reporting about russia, probably not from russia, of a likely not from russia, but from regions around russia. we have offices in latvia and, and of that many other countries like and ukraine and so on. poverty, go on to report from there, about russia and we have an extensive network. so don't very nice if the government is the german government doing enough about this when you heard the statements of

a part. so obviously there's an awareness and chancellor charlotte's the visit moscow and hopefully he will talk about our situation so that we don't know yet. okay, so with your, as it stands, your content that the german government is doing enough about the situation with statements and the possibility that this will be raised wench the chancellor visits russia next week. yes, they trust the german government that they do. but if necessary, certainly. thank you so much for joining us. d. w 's, editor in chief manuel casper class, like i do in the chancellor on our shelves is due to visit ukraine and russia in 10 days where he'll discuss tensions over ukraine. mister schultz is described the build up of russian troops on ukraine's borders. very serious at any invasion would have consequences. next week's visit to a says that to be the 1st face to face a meeting between russian president vladimir putin and chancellor show since he's fitted and going back in december. as cable from d w political correspondent,

a simon young welcome, simon. olaf. sholtes has been criticized for government, lack of visible action in support of ukraine. now we have this flurry of international appointments including meeting with president putin in moscow. does this indicate any sort of change of stance in bel will fill. i think the real change is a's one of pace and optics after even the media here of been asking, where is sholtes in recent days in regard to the ukraine crisis. so this visit to washington, which is in fact just the usual 1st visit by german chancellor to see the us president in the white house. i think there he'll, he'll have some work to do to persuade us politicians who are concerned that germany has been slow, for instance,

to put the issue of no strain to the gas pipeline from russia to germany on the table as shots was now done to say that that would be effected if they were rushing to get aggression against ukraine. also, i think some in washington have looked to the german reluctance to support ukraine militarily. even though of course, people understand their historical reasons for that. but the whole stance has given the impression there, i think that germany may be an unreliable partner. so that's what shows wants to make clear is not the case. it should be said the by the administration was willing to give a shot. so i think and the new german government a bit more space, they haven't proceeded with measures sanctions against german firms. i've been nord stream for instance, but this is, this is now coming to a heads. shorts will be going to a key of in 10 days time and moscow after that. so

a germany is really came to play some sort of mediating role on the ukraine crisis . have been doing that for several years. and we're going to see the concern of that more clearly. i think in the coming days i would have rush us up ban on d w. if that is mr. show it's likely to raise batt i think it's highly likely that he'll raise that with president putin. you know, the government line here has been, it's completely unacceptable. it's disproportionate. there's no symmetry they say with the decision by a german media regulator not to give a license to a russian channel. and you know, the foreign ministry is asking the rational authorities to reconsider that decision . so it definitely will also be one of the things are affecting the german russian relationship. but of course there are many other things for shots and pollutants talk about as well. thank you. for that, simon. yeah. all right, so more stories making news around the world now,

and their oppression that no comment felt especially jarring. now, human rights groups have urged athletes to use that platform at these games to speak up on such issues. i asked bark whether he could guarantee athletes safety for them to do this in china, he avoided answering that instead made some bizarre comparison about athlete protests and an actor playing handed on the stage. but athletes i see, allowed to express themselves at certain times and faces at the olympics, just not during their events during metro ceremonies, whether any of them will for you feel brave enough to do so, given the climate here remains to be seen something kind in beijing now, another big sporting event footballs, like a cup of nations. cameroon had been dreaming of glory at home. but that campaign came to a dramatic end in thursday, semi final, as egypt came out on top, while the hosts were left broken hearted, egypt and support. save at that moment of glory. yeah,

the day after to morrow. i still live at his latest apocalyptic vision moon for the plots, which if nothing else is out of this world, good breaking news. the governor has just order a man fall planet earth is in peril after a mysterious force towards the moon, out of orbit possible. as it hurtling towards earth chaos ensues, and it's up to a nasa executive, an astronaut, and a conspiracy theorist to save the day in order to get away with the unlikely heroes are played by halle berry, patrick wilson and joe bradley, who suit up for what looks like a suicide mission to save earth from certain annihilation. german director, roland emmerich is famous for his apocalyptic vision. and this film plays out a typically wacky scenario,

in which our own technology can and does get the better of us. i always like on the thing the movie has to kind of tap into problems of our time. and so i think the sir movie pizza, big warning against her shouldn't be, should be very careful with artificial intelligence. ah, and we should. so, you know, keep our on our planet and tucked things, didn't run smoothly. during the making of moon fall, the covert pandemic forced a temporary shut down and pushed up production costs with a budget of $140000000.00. it's the most expensive in the film of recent years. how heavy emphasis on visual effects may be. actors had no idea what the finished product look like. i will say i was most excited to see what the inside of the moon would look like. per roland emmerich i was waiting to see that because he tried to describe it while we were shooting and, and just none of us understood ah, during their mission to save the planet, the team makes

a shocking cosmic discovery kept under wraps for decades by nasa. that the moon is not what we thought it was. your boat, you're paying for it? oh, it's a rough ride, but moon fall will fit the bill for fans of the genre and make any worldly problems . look quite small. well, his reminder of our top stories are based on the presidents of russia and china have demanded an end to niter expansion. russian president vladimir putin is in beijing, who talks with chinese county treated unfair opening the ceremony. although printer a bit pix european union, has joined germany condemning russia decision to band, if don't you better. russia savvy push shutting down d, w must go bureau after, but then bands, german language programming,
