[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah this is d, w is live from by land laudermill zalinski calls on world and business latest to cease all tried ways in russia. ukrainian president tells world and business leaders of the world economic forum. it is time to escalate sanctions to the

maximum to prevent future russian aggression. also on the program, a court in ukraine sentences, a russian soldier to life in prison for killing an anom civilian joe biden, warned china. it is flirting with danger over taiwan. during his 1st trip to asia, as us president, he says, washington is willing to use force to defend the territory if necessary. ah, i am fo gail. welcome to the program florez lansky has told the world economic forum that world institutions need to introduce maximum sanctions against russia, including an oil embargo, and cutting off trade completely alive. linked to the meeting of political and business leaders in the swiss town of vos,

ukrainian presidents also said ukraine needed a modern version of the historic marshal plan. that rebuilt your fact of the 2nd world war. he said his country was grateful for the international community sanctions against russia, but said they should have been imposed sooner and treats of millions of citizens in democratic countries are put in posher wouldn't want government and companies measure to make sure they would limit restrained their relations with the aggressor state with russia, not old leg and it's that to help the people who i think it was under attack. but this is happening on the now let me know for even though russia started its war against you, great. back in 2014. yes. we are grateful for this support, but i would say evil. it actually happened was that of the yan, immediately that unit did added pressure on governments and companies for the stake . everything is quite a for the freedom would russia started this full scale?

warri would bring all these losses, support ukraine, and upon the world. i'm sure that the answer to this question, that is also no much, well d, w 's or ben facility is in divorce. i asked him how the speech had been received with a standing ovation fill. ah, it was a very emotional speech. and a davis was listening. that's for sure. the, the crowd here, the investors, the other world leaders, 50 of which are here. heads of states, sender governments and prime ministers, are there delegations as well and thousands of business leaders. and he did stick it to them then, or who had said that, that they simply haven't done enough that ukraine is short on time. and if this russian, aggression continues or increases even what we need is what you said at the beginning of the show even tougher sanctions. so an oil embargo,

all banks need to be blocked, all of them, the i t sector as well and no trade, whatsoever. he made a big point of that. he then also question, how much longer will the world stay united because this, this unity is what scares mr. put most. in mr. zalinski is words. we need to make ukraine a priority. now, every day that we wake up, he said, we need to ask ourselves, what can we do for you? great. i'm ukrainian president opened a speech with a striking reference to the russia war crimes house there at dallas. what is that? as that used to be russia house, but this year there's no russian caviar or bodka shots, ukrainians of literally taken over. no russians have been invited to this forum after the 1st time. you don't usually get that. cal schwab usually is open to everyone and is open to dialogue well, dialogue, but in this case he said things have gone too far and the ukrainians have taken

over. they turn this into a documentation center with thousands of images of, of this war. and it's absolutely horrible to see the pictures um and it's horrible to listen to some of the accounts that are going on. but it's the reality fil one doctor. as said to us in mary or pull the shelling a got so bad at around her hospital. so many people were coming in wounded every day civilians and her many pregnant women, one of whom died right in front of her on the operating table. they tried to save the baby by performing a c section. the baby was already dead and they tried reviving the baby, but that also failed. it was absolutely harrowing to listen to and, and i don't think there was a dry eye in that roseville. okay. and so the value of an up is missing in switzerland, of world leaders in the world's richest people, while the rest of the world is having a major cost of living crisis,

what else they're going to be talking about will poverty and equality is on the agenda but also interestingly enough energy prices, which is something that really gets people worried around the world as opposed to something like climate change, which has talked about every year. but it's so abstract. so many people and food security. at the big thing, there is the blockage of a grain exports from ukraine by, by russ is offensive, or we're looking at 25000000 tons of grain that can't get out at the moment. that's going to really a cause. nope. on effects around the world, especially for regions like africa, the middle east, and asia, big customers of grain that comes out of ukraine. andro out of roger. thank you for that bent ben facility at the world. economic 4 or caught in ukraine, has sentence to russian soldier to life in prison. in this 1st war crimes trials since russia's invasion,

the 21 year old had already plead guilty to killing an unarmed 62 year old civilian in the 1st week of the war. trials expected to be the 1st of many ukraine's prosecutor general's office as it is investigating nearly $11000.00 potential war crimes. i'll be w correspondent, max xander is following the story from keith and told me more about the verdict spread. so this verdict, this life sentence did not come as a huge surprise, but it might have significance for, for future trials of the 21 year old defendant about him. she married last week already pleaded guilty for killing a 62 year old, unarmed civilian in the beginning of the 1st phase of the invasion. now he said that he was pressured by fellow soldiers into doing so, but the court responded to this and said that he was, he was going through with a criminal order that these men who had who he had given pressure into were not his

commanding officers. and thereby, he clearly violated the rules, the rules of war and lower sentence than life was just not possible. in this case, the defense on the other hand, am said they would appeal and they said there had, there has been a significant amount of pressure from civil society. and so the significance of this right, so this is the 1st war crime. first war crimes trial in ukraine during this war and we're looking at 10000. you said it perhaps even even more cases in the future. so this life sentence actually sets the bar pretty high. and there has been some criticism that this court case or this, this trial was taking place during the war, but the authority said they were falling due process. the situation this case is very clear. that's a pretty straight forward case. all the evidence was heard and the men are pleaded guilty, but also for the ukrainians. it is a, it is

a chance to show that they're taking and pursuing these war crimes seriously. and m . yeah. that the to show that the judiciary, the ukrainian judiciary system, actually works even in times of war, away from the courts. max, if i think don bassett shifted to the city of savannah dynette, scanned ukraine, struggling to hold onto it. is that city lightly to become another, mary? of all right, so the russian forces after unsuccessfully trying to keep and the rest of the country shifted their focus to the southeast to the dunbar, to the industrial zone there. and they're going after free after the territories that were held formerly by the russian state back rebels and am trying to push forward there so severe the netscape, a key city, it's a large city of roughly a 100000 people prior to the war. and this is one of the last strong holes in the lanced region that the kremlin has, as, as i said, they would,

they would take now there china and circle this city that is clear. but it compares if you compare the situation to mario points a bit different because this city was close to the fine line of 2014 and they are better prepared than manual policy does not come as a surprise. and the ukrainians so far have been able to successfully defend the city. thank you. back to max xander in keith. russian forces have been accused of intentionally targeting civilian buildings like home schools and hospitals. he w mathias bullying has been to the village of ross, got the solver in the east and one woman's emerge from the basement after 2 months to find her house destroyed by the russian bombardment life in runes suit law knox. you're never has just returned to what was her home. i can't say anything. a shell hit her house 2 days ago. at the thought, this is what is left to them. no,

we have nowhere 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. she never left her basement. the 7 of the last night was the worst trial . we thought this is it, madam? the house will collapse above us and bury us and the base wendy, our pets wear with as a dog and a cat. when i came here to get the cat, but i can't find it a delicious d. okay. but doesn't breaking 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 in as long as it is home. she couldn't for now, she will go back to the city and wait for the fighting in the area to end. and some more of the other stories making news around the world. the world health organization has worn that cases of monkey pox spreading rapidly. but officials say there's no evidence that the viruses mutated and that the outbreak. and they also say the outbreak can be contained health authorities in austria and denmark today

announced their 1st cases an unfinished shopping mouth. in southwestern, iran has collapse killing at least 5 people. officials in the city of ab done a fear, the death toll could be much higher as more than 80, people are still believed to be trapped under rubble. surrounding shops and cars were also buried. members of a feminist group of unfurled banner, the cannes film festival to protest against the coming of women. it lists the names of the 129 victims of families live in france. since last year's event, the action came, a celebrities gathered for a gala dinner to celebrate the work of female filmmakers, australian labor party leader. and to me, alban noisy has been sworn in the country, new prime minister. the final count votes from the election 2 days ago isn't yet no warning, so he could attend a key security meeting with us, india and japan in tokyo on tuesday and

u. s. president joe biden is already in tokyo, where he said that he would be willing to use force to defend the neighboring island of ty, one, if it were attacked. china views taiwan as a breakaway province. it's one of the strongest statements of support of the other . for decades, are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that? yes, you are. that's a commitment. we made a recommend we may, we are not look, here's the situation. we agree with a one china policy. we signed on. all the attendant agreements made from there, but the idea that it can be taken by force just taken by force is just not is just not appropriate, dislocate the entire region, and be another action. similar to what happened in, in, in your crew will tie ones, foreign ministry. thank to mr. biden for his statement that we drew

a sharp response from beijing, the chinese foreign ministry. the said they, china has no room for concessions on issues involving its territorial integrity. is the biden was speaking in tokyo, the launch of a new asian pacific trade initiative. he warned that beijing is increasingly assertive. stand so be island, was flirting with danger. is a commitment to working with? well his statement was on i'm, they gave us, but i think a shift. is it i put that question to sheila a smith who is a senior fellow for asian pacific studies of the council on foreign relations. so thank you for having me. first of all, i don't think it's a large shift. if you recall we have in the united states congress approved what's called the taiwan relations act in which united states has been supplying taiwan with military equipment to help with its defenses. so there's always been a implicit link between united states and taiwan when it comes to making sure that

there is no violence or no use of force across the street between beijing and taipei. i think the president made it very clear in tokyo because the region is worried. they're worried about chinese military activity. they're also, we're worried about ambiguity on washington's part. the ambiguity by the united states could invite or at least give permission for china to use force and they would like that to stop is there. is there a way that russia, having launched its attack on ukraine to pop china, might look at this and say, let's give that a go. absolutely, and you know, as you know, taiwan is not a treaty ally. it's not recognized by most of the world as an independent sovereign state. so it, there's reason to be worried, given the russian behavior in ukraine. and i think given also the fact that united nations is not functioning, as many people thought it would in cases of aggression. and you really have the united states and its allies putting forward the primary response. so i think this is an end of the civic version of, let's not, you know,

invite miscalculation. the president is in tokyo for a new u. s. lead to asia pacific trade initiative that's being seen as a counterweight to china, aggressive expansion in the region. how much of an effect is likely to have given china's expansions already well underway? that i think this is the vital administration's effort to demonstrate that the united states does have economic interests at stake and is willing to begin to re engage on the trade fronts with partners in the in the pacific. as you know, the t p fell by the wayside when president trump came into power in 2017. and i think the region is really looking to united states for a stronger statement of its economic engagement, foreign direct investment aid for infrastructure building. and of course, the most important trade, i don't know that this is going to assuage all of the concerns of the countries around the region. china is

a dominant economic presence in the region. and of course china has now asked to join the c p, p. and that makes any, many of those countries that are members a little bit nervous about how the p p is going to respond. thank you for that. a shave a smith from the council on foreign relations and german chancellor. ola schultz is on the 3 country visit to africa of the province are set to go on sunday. here i've been sharing west africa today. it's been visiting german soldiers that they train special forces to 5 is limits militants in the region of the trip scheduled to end in south africa. and there's the chancellor's 1st visit to the continent since taking office 6 months ago. data was chief, political editor, mckayla casner is travelling with him. i asked her what he's hoping to achieve or 1st of all, he wants to make a point that africa is important to him. and he also is making a point of visiting democracies only here on the african continent. and he started

it would senegal in these air 2 of those who have really dealing with increasing instability, particularly after the minnows. my mission in molly will now be scaled down at the french will be pulling out, and germany might be left with more responsibility. and here, once he wants a flag that he's not just supporting his individual states, but that germany is here in the long haul to provide more stability. although it's mainly doing that by training here in these air. and the, the saw whole regions increasingly unstable. what role does germany saves of plane or germany despite all these difficulties, has just extended a both it's mendoza my mission at that is also in molly a, but also it's training mission here in these air. and here some 200 german soldiers are stationed, who train, new jazz forces in special operations,

although they don't actually enter combat themselves. there's also a concern that this will run out in a just under a year and a what after that? well here he was certainly making the pledge that he will work something out a longer term project that was also well received here in these air, where the germans are popular and are providing the kind of training. there can be a start in pushing back against is a mis terrorism, that you are many thousands of miles away from ukraine. there is this war here in europe are much of an issue on this trip. geography no longer matters its shadow that is hanging over all of these countries or they are very concerned about the medium and long term food supplies and those grains stuck in ukrainian ports. there are a huge concern here. the african union president em mackey sol of senegal,

also flag this out p. we'll be talking to moscow on that very issue. so clearly they're not always converging interests here. countries that are highly dependent on russia, when it comes to sawing prices in food and energy, are trading a much more delicate line. that's why cynical is defending its abstention in the resolution against russia in the un security council. and all of salt is keen to flag that he understands that and that germany knows that it must continue to prove to be a reliable partner here, that it can't solve all the issues. but last but not least, is also interested in some of the l. n. d, gas supplies that senegal may have to offer itself, but also potential for export to europe. so everything is interconnected. and if anything here in africa, you can very much feel those really threatening effects on local economies. thank

you so much and had a curfew in this year. somali as new present hassan shake, muhammad has officially taken power after winning sundays, long delayed election. one of his most pressing problems is the terrorist group al shabanni. in a renewed attempt to help fight them, the u. s. s. announced the deployment of american troops to the country. al, sure, bob has been conducting a brutal insurgency since 2004. there has been driven out of most cities, including the capital market tissue. it still controls many rural areas. algebra said to have anywhere between $5.10 fighters and makes it money, bike starting civilians. and as you're about to see those who don't cooperate, end up paying an even higher price. a dreamy beach on the coast of the molest capital mogadishu, a holiday makers, paradise elite hotel is known for its delicious seafood and epic views. but in 2020 the islamist militant group, osh bob attacked it,

killing 11 people and injuring several more. they'll tell had become a target because it had refused to pay extortion money to asha bob william on the, in, in the, in the the elite hotel never paid, al, should bob's illegal. extortion money went on and there's no reason that we should pay it. why didn't we hope to maintain this position so that it encourages other business people to them so that the government and people work together to fight against this terrorist group, hardy, or alan, with guy complex to years and hundreds of thousands of dollars of reconstruction costs later it's finally business as usual for the up market beachfront hotel. and it serves as a warning payoff. bob or the same will happen to you. we meet a man whose job it was to share this message for safety reasons. he prefers to remain anonymous. a former business men himself, he was in charge of extorting tax and to legions in central somalia. if they didn't

agree to pay, they would be arrested and tortured. we would double their fine and also try to recruit them. he says he's also been on the receiving end of these threats in 2014 osh, about come into his town and asked him to pay $5000.00 back. then he own several malls and shops. when he refused to pay, he was arrested. they tortured me, they said you were with the enemy, they handcuffed me and beat me. sometimes they put my head under muddy water. he eventually agreed to join in order to protect his family. he says, after 5 years he managed to escape. since then he's been living and hiding in constant fear. the penalty for the effecting is death. taxation is the group's biggest source of income security analysts estimate of bob's annual budget is

around $180000000.00 ask tech station because they believe that the, the real go over the pair of somalia. but on our eyes, the are the shadow government in this country, they run and out of me militia, they run other offices, equipment of ministers, where he says, almost all businesses in the country pay tax to ship up. meaning they're being double taxed once by government and once by the islamist milton, most of the money extorted spend unintelligence terror activities and buying weapons. he says the last 5 years were lost by former president mohammed for module, who didn't do enough to fight the group. the most important task for the new president hassan say mahmoud will be the fight against the islamist militant,

based on that his success will be measured. excuse me, at tennis and the 1st big name has crashed out of the french open japanese former world number one, no, be a soccer. lost. her opening match, a rolling garage in straight sets to americans. 27 seated amanda and in the so and they seem over soc withdrew from the tournament last year after boycotting press my post match press conferences, citing her mental health to return to the competitive tennis of the tokyo olympics . what needs victories to climb back up? the rankings in football bundles, league club dormant, have named at inter search. as a new coach, he takes over 3 days after marco rosa was fired and 2, as it grew up near dormant ad is a lifelong fan. he's had a previous didn't as head coach that began in december 2020. when his team won 20
