1:03 pm
of the younger than it think immediately that unity, that pressure on governments and companies for the sake of doing it quite for the freedom would russia started this full scale. warri wouldn't bring all these losses of ukraine and upholding world. i'm sure that the answer to this question is that it is also no much now d. w is emily sherburne is at the world economic forest in divorcee following the events that emily gratitude. but also criticism from the ukrainian president. how did it go down? well, zalinski received a standing ovation, but you're right. his tone was critical of the international community. he essentially was saying, yes, thank you for a uniting and backing ukraine in the face of russian aggression. but essentially, you should have done this much earlier. he pointed out, you know, that of russia annexed the crimean peninsula from ukraine, back in 2014. there's been a war going on there in the country since then, and the,
1:04 pm
the international community, including here in douglas, didn't really do anything. you know, there was a russian presence here until this year at the forum as well. people were trading doing business and he was saying, you know, this, it's too late. you should have done something earlier. and the same thing applied to international institutions. he was saying that they should be almost reformed in order to not only respond to crises, but to actually prevent them. and he also proposed some concrete measures specifically when it comes to punishing of russia for the current aggression in ukraine. he proposed much harsher sanctions, including an oil embargo and a full stop to all trade with russia. now, soleski also opened his speech with a striking reference to the russia war crimes house at double was. tell us more about that was that they used to be now as i was saying,
1:05 pm
a pretty big russian presence here in davos at the economic forum. there was a russia house, which was known for serving vodka. the russian delegation held these glitzy parties . in fact, one year they held a kind of ice skating show as well. and that attracted a lot of attention of investment as well. this year, however, the world economic forum has actually severed all ties with russia. there aren't any russian delegates here, including, you know, billionaires who might have come out against the war. they're also not here. there's no one from russia here in fact. and in fact, in the place where the old russian house used to be, there is now a russia war crimes house. and it's really a striking exhibition that you see when you go inside. they are over 4000 images that have been used to create a kind of almost video installation with sound as well, where you see the suffering of civilians at the hands of russian soldiers that has
1:06 pm
taken place during this war. and the organizers that we were speaking to yesterday said that they think that the world should see that russia is this. now russia is the suffering that it has inflicted on the ukrainian people. all right, thanks, emily sharing their reporting for us, sir, in divorce and emily just mentioning those are war crimes. a ukrainian court has just sentence a russian soldier to live in prison for killing an unarmed civilian. it is the 1st war crime trial arising from russia's invasion. the 21 year old soldier had pleaded guilty to charges, including premeditated murder and to committing a war crime during a trial in key if. if so, the 1st war crime trial held and is likely to be one of many. the young sergeant admitted he shouted at a 62 year old civilian on a bicycle in the eastern sunni region on february 28th. ukraine's prosecutor
1:07 pm
general says it is investigating nearly 11000 potential war crimes and we're joined now by you re suck advisor to the ukrainian defense minister in key. if welcome to d. w. good to have you on the program. now, what do you mean? is she she marina was today found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to life in prison. what's your reaction to the verdict we have been signed from the very 1st day of this aggressive fool. every war criminal who has committed a walk, crime in our land will be found and prosecuted and brought to justice. so what happened today is the 1st step in a logical commitment of ukraine to seek justice for the victims of these war crimes. and like we've said many times before, unfortunately,
1:08 pm
there's hardly any war crime that has not been committed by the russian occupies in ukraine during the last 2 and a half months. it is a very unusual for war crimes trials to be held during a conflict. given that there are still bombardments shelling casualties every day. how could you guarantee a fair process in the circumstances? i think you might be referring to the international war crimes tribunals and they usually take longer because they require a little difficult framework of all the investigators. the prosecutors, bodies, and so on and so forth. but ukraine, we have been collecting evidence of these war crimes, our general prosecutor's office. our minister of internal affairs have been very carefully and meticulously collecting evidence of these will crimes since day one.
1:09 pm
and in this specific instance, the accused who was sentenced to life in prison. and today he actually admitted committing this war crime. and this war crime is a violation of a specific article in ukraine's criminal, called the article that prohibits the commission of war, but by a nation of the rules of customs of war. so from this perspective, you credit the country based on the rule of law and all that, all the rules of due process have been observed, which was stated today by our general prosecutor. now hundreds of so just from the real poll, surrendered to russia last week. what do you think is the race that russia starts holding its own trials of ukrainian trips? course we cannot rule out any course of events because we can only be responsible for the actions and commitments that we make. but we have said from the very
1:10 pm
beginning of this special rescue operation, as a result of which all ukrainian warriors both wanted and those who were still there defending us all style have been evacuated. we have been saying that it is very important that the 3rd party, such as the international, red cross and the when are involved in this process. so we, we are convinced that their participation and their engagement will be a guarantee will be a safe guard from any untoward course of this rescue operation. and we are hoping to be able to return our warriors back to you grant in due course to restock adviser to the ukrainian defense minister in weston ukraine. thank you so much for your time. all the best. thank you for inviting me. thank you. now as we've heard, russian forces have also been accused of intentionally hitting
1:11 pm
a civilian stretches, such as homes, schools and hospitals did all the as much as a building. i went to the village of a rose color silva and the east. one woman emerged from her basement after 2 months in hiding to find the russians have also targeted to house. life in rooms la knoxville never has just returned to what was a home. i can't say anything. a shell hit her house 2 days ago. this is what is left to them. no, we have no way to come back to people living here, a message scribbled on the door when the russian troops arrived. this village was occupied in the very beginning of the war. the russians were here for 2 months, and just 3 weeks ago the ukrainians took it back. says lana says that during those 2 months he didn't even see the russian soldiers. that's because the fighting was so heavy,
1:12 pm
she never left her basement. but 7 of the last night was the worse toil. we thought this is it, madam. the house will collapse above us and bury us and the base wendy. our pets were with us, a dog and a cat money when i came here to get the cat, but i can't find it a delicious 3 o'clock that doesn't breaking him. we will after the ukrainian army reclaimed the village, almost all inhabitants left for the city of hargrove. as the fighting continues, the russian positions are just beyond the next village. 5 kilometers away. most likely the shell that hid her house came from there. yeah. the thing is that if it doesn't collapse and isn't hid again, maybe we can come back and rebuild it. but i told my husband, i would even live in the basement with him as long as it is home. she killed him.
1:13 pm
for now, she will go back to the city and wait for the fighting in the area to end up and here are some of the other stories making news around the world. german chancellor will have shots is on his 1st visit to africa since taking office 6 months ago. in senegal, he held to talk with president mackey. so the leaders discussed the fallout from the war in ukraine with sholtes eyeing as any goal as an alternative source of gas supplies. australian labor party leader, antony albanese, has been sworn in as the country's new prime minister. the final tally of election boat is not yet known that albany was as worn in so he could attend a key security meeting with us the india in japan in tokyo on tuesday. your excellency. and while launching a new asia pacific trade initiative in tokyo,
1:14 pm
you as president joe biden said he would be willing to use force to defend taiwan if it were attacked. it is one of the strongest statements in support of the island in decades farmers, china claims taiwan assets territory. and while the u. s. and other countries accept this one china policy. they say it can only be resolved through diplomacy speaking and tokyo biden, ortho warned that beijing's increasingly assertive stance over the island was flirting with danger before smuggling. and this is what biden had to say when asked by reporters, what the us would do in case of an attack by china. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that you're, you are as a commitment, we made a 2nd, then we may, we are not look, here's a situation. we agree with the one china policy we signed on all the attendance
1:15 pm
agreements made from there. but the idea that it can be taken by force is taken by force is just not just not appropriate, dislocate the entire region, and be another action similar to what happened in your crew. up a more, i'm john now by correspondence on the black. get in tokyo, sonya many in washington, i worried that to beijing could invade taiwan. and we heard that you as president, jo biden's, clear words are that us would come to tie one support. ok. how real is the threat of a chinese invention? invasion and well, i mean, considering what he says, obviously it, there are people who fear that it could be real. or yes, you think that way, japan, however, it's not a matter of something that would happen very soon. it's real in the sense that they
1:16 pm
are trying now to prevent this from happening by showing a strong deterrence by really looking shoulders and saying, hey, we will not let this happen. and while biden said he would defend taiwan later, he said, no, he would stand before as well. he would stand by the one china policy, and that would only deliver with soldiers, but still he's remains. he's made these remarks repeatedly. so i think maybe this is not a coincidence that they would really like to try and avoid a similar situation as we've seen happen now in europe, obviously with russia. ukraine, not japan, of course, is a key player in the region, but militarily, it's kept a low profile since world war 2. and now it's planning to spend more on defense capabilities. why now?
1:17 pm
yes, assist constitution and it's one that's cherished very much by a large part of the population wherever they have been conservative nationalist petitions who for a long time is wanting, wanting to change that and kind of i want to know the rational tech on ukraine has made that seem possible, and so quite likely. so it's been a real game changer in that sense. and china, for its part, has done lots of things that angered the japanese, there been lots of incursions by ships into japanese. was there been lots of territorial issues, economic issues as well, but recently mostly really these kind of ship issues, so to speak. and that's and also of course on north korea and it's michelle tests have been the source of worry for japan. that's, these are the main reasons why japan is not changing. it stands towards the

1:21 pm
research institute, or see pre says the world is entering a new era of risk where environmental and security issues overlap. it's as droughts, heat, waves, and other impacts of climate change are increasingly driving conflicts around the world. according to the report, while temperatures rose worldwide between 201-2020, the number of armed conflicts doubled as did the number of refugees. and we joined now by margaret val stream the former swedish foreign minister and chair of the international panel that guided the researcher. everyone welcome to d. w. good to have you with us. now the report a suggest that there is a link between worsening crises, insecurity and the environment. could you perhaps give us some concrete examples where these problems reinforce each other? well, it's easy to imagine that a country that has a lack of drinking water and share
1:22 pm
a water source river with neighboring countries. and because of climate change, there's less and less water to, to share that you could easily lead to social unrest and conflicts. and in the worst case war, and we see that in many places around the world, but also how, of course, there are some, some of the problems lead to the people leaving their country. so we have so many more effigy and climate change and refugee so, so i think that there are a number of these elements showing the link between these the security and growing environmental problems. now looking at the war in ukraine, aside from the human cost, it's also to stabilize european security and effective global food and energy supplies. what for the consequences do you see on the horizon? well, it's very clear that the russia war in ukraine has also and

1:24 pm
what action should they be taking? now when they have to cooperate, 1st of all, they have to make sure that they, they look into the future, identify some of these the, say, environmental problems. so that can also have a spillover effect. and then they just have to think more long term and they have to take into account what climate change we will do. and they have to improve their, their planning. and it also in gauge be deliberately inclusive, as we say. so talk to those people that will be affected and involved in the planning for the future. my margaret of ashley m. r, for my swedish foreign minister. thank you so much for your time. thank you. a change of pace and sports now and in formula one max guess stoppin has won the
