each chief or full of underlying arrives and key for talks on the closer integration of ukraine into you structures. the visit comes the day after she declared that democracies standing united would triumph over russian aggression and swedish politics. take a hard right turn. prime minister magdalena anderson turns in her resignation. following her social democrats, electron lost to a right wouldn't block. that includes a nationalist anti immigrant policy. ah, i many hoops. mckinnon. welcome to the program. russian president vladimir putin and his chinese counterpart g, hidden paying have held face to face talks for the 1st time since the start of the ukraine war. speaking on the side line for the summit and was beckons. don houston, thank china. what he called it balanced position towards the crane. and he urged

deeper ties with beijing feet and also lashed out against what he called, attempts to create a unipolar world president he, for his part, also signaled eagerness to expand corporation describing the relationship between beijing and moscow as one of superpowers. this is yours would be facing an ever changing world. and a new era in history. china is willing to make efforts with russia to assume the role of great powers and play a guiding role to inject stability and positive energy all into a world rocked by social turmoil. for more in the center now by a china analyst, cliff kernan. clifford. and what can, what more can you tell us about this meeting between he and put him with his meeting, and traditionally as a very sleepy sort of regional meeting, which is suddenly taken on huge geopolitical global significance. whether clearly

trying to set up an alliance of autocratic authoritarian states in central asia and in and in russia. and to show that this is an alternative to what they see as a unipolar world, being driven by western democracies, particularly the u. s. and it was on the side lines of this larger meeting that this, at these talks between g and putin happened. and now this is president genes, 1st trip outside and china, since the plant pandemic, explain to us to us why this summit is so important. the china, well, it's a big deal. john, at the moment is, is, is many parts are locked down because of covered at the economy is slowing and achieving things. first, foreign visits, since the pandemic started. so he needs to show that he's out there again, that china is, again, re taking its place on the world stage on taking that place as an expanded superpowers, as the words we quoted earlier. so it's very important for him to,

to have this. he's also very keen, i think, to get the economy going again, there's one why one interesting thing he said with regard to the economy perhaps is while backing rushes position on ukraine. hooton's said that she had some concerns, and i think those concerns possibly could relate to the fact that rushes invasion of ukraine has done such damage, the global economy. and that's something that, that china will be keen to see resolved on. it certainly wants to know if russia is going to win the war, going to lose the war at this stage because these are also recent developments and you want clarification on that because i think no one wants tobacco a loser. so now, before the war, the 2 leaders declared earlier this year that there were no limits to that partnership. how balanced is this partnership? yeah. could we say that russia maybe needs china more right now than china needs russia? well, i think going by the statement that we've seen so far, i think it's probably fair to say that russia clearly needs china more. it needs the economic at power that china offers and possibly the,

the military leeway there. china can give it if it does become bogged down in a conflict in, in ukraine. and it gave a very, obviously gave notice that it, it backs china's position on taiwan under to poses at u. s. efforts to undermine what it sees. the one china policy which says that taiwan is on it on a label part of that of china. so clearly he's prepared to say whatever china wants to hear, to show to offer this backing. and, but i think the can, the limits could come if, if the global economy really is threatened. that's going to be very, very difficult for, for china to keep backing russia. so china essentially sacrificing its relations with the west in order to fight with russia right now. the timing, again, is very difficult for china because it's at a crucial moment in the development of the chinese economy where it needs tech. and it also needs the trade with the west. it can't completely isolate itself, and it hasn't joined in a sanctions. it hasn't broken sanctions against russia,

but clearly it's going to become very difficult for china if those conditions are threatened. china analyst clifford clean and thanks. so much l e e commission president os lafond the lion is in ukraine to discuss closer cooperation with the european union. she was welcomed in keith by ukraine's head of european integration, accession to the block and economic corporation, or at the top of the agenda. and she will be holding talks with ukrainian president volota may zalinski. ukraine was granted you candidacy states us in june. meanwhile, fresh russian attacks all being reported in ukraine following massive gains by keep in the east of the country. miss isles also hit a reservoir, the president of miss lensky. these home town of cree very little the morning after rushes miss al strikes and creve, a ring with a little bit with residents are improvising as authorities work to repair the

damage. ukrainian officials say 100 homes were flooded. when the missiles destroyed the water system, the infrastructure is critical to the city, the largest in central ukraine of ashi, or get there does your missile attacks today, like russian missiles targeting previously on the dam of the cottage near ski, a reservoir occurring in the objects have no military value at all focus to bus with completion. in fact, targeting hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians is another reason why russia, when seger earlier, the president made a surprise visits easier. one of the cities, recent be liberated by ukrainian forces chiefs counter offensive, has seen the ukrainian army take back a wide swathe of territory in the north east. residents are shocked and traumatized

. what they endured during 6 months of russian occupation is just starting to come to light in the battle scarred city of ballad clia, southeast of heart heave reports of torture are emerging 0 live continental day. you made me hold 2 wires attached to an electric generator developer to forward the faster you spin distance and the higher the voltage anchorage of courtney up. of course they kept spinning it and asking questions. they said i was lying for profit, so they did it more and you thought it happened to some prisoners every of the day when the full sure was this to publicly with the ukranian army back in control residents, year long to put the dark days of war behind them and see the ukrainian flag rise over the country. once again. he w correspondent emanuel charles's reporting from u. k. crane and i asked her earlier about was left on the lines agenda during her visit to keith. well as symbolic care visit tonya, and indeed the 3rd for, oh,

it was a laugh on their lion. of course, this afternoon. so there will be a lot of talk about a possible, a ukrainian accession to the european union. you know that ukraine got granted candidate status back in june, so that's definitely going to be on top of the agenda. i also left on the lion that is set to meet a wiz vladimir lensky. in fact, she already met him as she received a medal and recognition of the use of port to woods ukraine earlier this morning. and she will also me to his prime minister then his irish regard to discuss about the situation to discuss both further her support bead financial. but oh, so when it comes to sanctions against a russia be there economic all are. so with regard to the visa situation, all that will be on the agenda to day. okay, a packed agenda. now, while ukraine is making its advances in the east of the country,

russia has launched fresh attacks around huck eve where you are and in central ukraine on president zalinski hometown. can you tell us more about those indeed more strikes or happened over a night? and, you know, russia keeps on saying it just targets military infrastructure. but here from the ground, i can tell you that is not necessarily the case because are here in hockey. if last night we had an explosion in this city center, and that was a possibly coming from quite near because the air red alert system didn't even have time to get started. so we 1st heard alarm and, and everybody rushed to the shelter. everybody in heart careful can do so would take shelter in. so she comes and says, because the city is just god, all over by buildings having been destroyed, having been shell is not the only place yesterday in the central or ukrainian city of cleary, which is also the native city of la demy zalinski, a dom and

a reserve or a god damage to do it or it caused a flood across a da city. this is definitely damaged to in 1st churches, and the damage is impacting civilians and other military. emma, thank you and do take care. that's in manual. shes in hockey. now the term war heroes may, may you think of soldiers or medics but in ukraine, they're also postal workers, providing a lifeline to people living near the front line. many of them elderly residents. ukraine's mail service continues to deliver vital supplies despite the dangerous t w's but get her shook her, met one letter carrier, near the ne and city of hockey. luba lapka heads out when the air right alarm stop . she works in the north east of ukraine, delivering mail and cash pensions to people living close to the front lines. they never know when russian artillery might hit by the uber swallows for fear or

york. what can i say the pension is no, me and they wait for me. when i was off work for a man call some even call it and asked when i'd be back wouldn't per, toward the so it's not just about delivering pensions. she tells us many of the older people living here are completely on their own. like tatiana carver, her children and grandchildren have fled abroad. she's so scared of attacks that she barely leaves the house in a yeah, you best visit is the highlight of her month. or what she, she's very, very helpful. mike, is she cares about us, brings us or pensions and news and explains things oh, i'm going to cry. the post service delivers pensions and cash to more than $3000000.00 ukrainians. but they're also taking medication 1st aid kits, protective gear, and even food. and that's crucial for people living near the front lines who often

can't get supplies for themselves. the post headquarters in keith is well organized. eagles, me, lansky is in charge here responsible for $65000.00 employees who deliver all across ukraine being in the producer rewards. it's a huge logistical challenge. he says, and a dangerous one on once a village for the cities for love, and or 3 days after certain new mining is done, become and become his pensions begun was for food becomes products on but it's a war. and you have to be to realistic. her whole things can happen in the war. 15 postal workers have already been killed at 14, injured, to reduce the risk they change delivery routes every day. after doing what they can to find out where is safe enough to send their staff in the morning, buried it, agent, and boats appropriate authority security to serve as special abrasions or,

or armed forces are to get new information word safe on, on, safe to go to day in lube as delivery district things have been getting worse recently. she says that as strikes almost every day, one had this home on the west road. she tries to comfort the couple who lives there of the pension she delivers. is about $100.00 euro a month. it's enough to survive, says alexander cove, i ankle. but they won't be able to rebuild their hunger robbery. we've done what we can a chef. but these monsters have destroyed our lives on the stores. hello. how will we survive the winter? i just don't know. 0 would or missouri. dr. those are wash cautious. it's hard to take all this and to realize that this is our life now.

wouldn't me, but we'll stay strong and we'll eat working. but i to walk luba will retain a year until then she continues to serve her people, bringing pensioners their money and offering them a bit of company. her work, she says has never been more important or yeah, yeah. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. one of russia's last remaining independent news outlets. the la garza has been stripped of its last media license. the ruling from russia supreme court effectively banned the newspapers online version. it's print edition was banned earlier in the week of august at his founder, the nobel peace prize winner. demy claymore itself said he would appeal to ban. germany says ukraine will need 350000000000 euros and funds for reconstruction. once a war ends, economy minister will but hobbit made the statement, after meeting his ukrainian counterpart near berlin,

he added that germany would continue to support your crime with weapons to defend itself against russian aggression. if you look and thousands of mourners the lining up to pay their final respects to queen elizabeth the 2nd, the line to see the coffin stretching more than 10 kilometers along the river, thames britons longest serving monarch will lie in state in london's westminster hall for 4 days, officials are expecting 750000 people to file past before her funeral takes place on monday. and sweden center left prime minister magdalena anderson has handed in her resignation following sundays, general election, anderson, social democratic party, and their left. when coalition last, by a thin margin to the conservative block, that will be dependent on the far right sweden democrats. that's a party that has its roots in a neo nazi movement from the 19 eighties and nineties, a turning point in swedish,

politics. magdalena, under sun conceits, defeat in the conference parliamentary election watch video media boost out that whole beaked. it looks like the 4 right wing parties have received just 50 percent of the votes and the election and in parliament. and they have a one or 2 seat advantage. that then majority, but it's a majority and minority. it's a major hit to the prime minister, social democrats. they have govern sweden since 2014 and dominated the countries political landscape since the 19 thirty's. now this man was christa, son is expected to form a government. his blog includes the sweden democrat, a far right party, that has vow to make sweden safe again by bringing in longer prison sentences and restricting immigration. people in the capital reacted to the news of the blocks

narrow when it's a sad sign of the times that we're living in that they can the profile of the sale of on scaring up, scaring the people would that the were it's on site to live in sweden, with the, with all the criminal sunday old i threw it as a sofa that only a face of one of 2 percent of the people who swayed are most people that live a very, very, very secure life. so how to come will an election on that? it's ridiculous. there are a lot of big questions in our society today that day in some ways hasn't been addressed correctly. and i think a lot of people have been longing for a change. or even though that change or sometimes mean shipping the, the polarity to the rights in this case, they go up by canada. sunday's vote was one of the closest elections ever. and sweden, thousands of overseas and postal boats were needed to get

a clearer picture of who the winner was. however, it could take weeks to form a government that doesn't right, leading government dependent on a far right policy mean that sweden will learn to the right. now i put that question to mark as carlson a journalist at t before and stockholm it appears that the sweden will be lurching to the right, looking at the result of the election with this narrow win for the right wing. and also, mostly because of the sweden democrats, which, who are now the 2nd biggest party in the swedish parliament, and negotiations will now take place. those negotiations could be family tents, fairly arduous, this even democrats, they say that they want as much power as possible obesity. but they also have to contend with the other 3 parties within this governing coalition, and that might be a difficult task for the man who is likely to become the next prime minister case,

the sean, to, to manage this whole process. what appears clear is that the sweden, democrats won't most likely be a part of the next government instead, does talk of some sorts of supply and confidence deal that we'll see, the sweden democrats tacitly or openly supporting the government. but it won't be part of the government this when democrats, that is so just to make sure that we understand the way you coalition deal making works in sweden means that the new prime minister, as you say, will probably be the leader of the countries mainstream. conservatives of christus and but he'll be dependent on the far right policy, which got more votes to govern. is that right? and how will that work exactly? well, that's what the negotiations will, will hopefully for full time how exactly this whole relationship will work and what

the power balance within this coalition, the right when book will actually look like you're right. it is now up to christian to, to, to manage this process. but he doesn't only have to think about the suite and democrats. he also has to think about the christian democrats, the liberal policy, and the liberal party. for instance, have made clear that they won't agree to some of the demands that the sweden democrats have have put forward. there also, questions in which these parties can, can agree on. i'm thinking about nuclear power, for instance, the energy field defense migration issues. there are also some contention contention issues that this new coalition will have to deal with and saw towns high enough because you mentioned immigration that sweden's had more than 250 shootings. so far, the sea, it's a lot for a small country on the far right is linking this to rising immigration. how are

they suggesting that they will solve the violence problem? well, this has been one of the major issues during the election campaign. if not the major issue, and it's not only the far right, the has linked segregation and the lack of the lack of integration to the rising violence and the rise and deadly violence in swedish streets. so that certainly has been an issue during the whole, the whole campaign and something that, and much talk talked about something that according to a lot of expert, her has benefited the right wing all the swedish or politics under the side of the shop. all right, mark has carlson with sweden's t v force. thanks so much for speaking with us now the european union

is considering proposals to revamp energy markets, following massive price increases. and there are 2 main reasons. the pandemic and the war in ukraine. now, as countries emerged from covey locked downs, last year, demand for and energy increased sharply, and that led to higher prices. and of course, russia's invasion of ukraine is having multiple knock on effects. e countries have been scrambling to cut the consumption of russian oil and gas, which is making alternatives. more expensive. how much more expensive? well, industry analysts say that natural gas currently costs $10.00 times what it normally would and that is driving injured industries to use more coal, which means more carbon emissions. and that is a major setback in the quest to reduce c o 2 emissions globally. now the rising cost of energy has households and businesses, unsurprisingly,

really worried about how they'll pay for their bills. some companies, it's, they're very survival at stake. as dw lisa louis now reports from to lose in southwest and france. for the additional, more foundry has been manufacturing metro products such as gully covers for more than 150 years. but a, c, e o. now, fees that business could melt away. the company's electricity bill has doubled to 1500000 euros compared to 2019 while others we've passed on the higher court for electricity and for raw materials to our customers. our prices have gone up by 20 percent. but next year, we'd have to add another 40 percent to balance out even higher power caused sculpt . that could be disastrous, because if you don't go to massive us for michael,

get them on the company's electricity bill next year could skyrocket for up to $10000000.00 euros. under current predictions, the foundry could lose customers going to cheaper competitors abroad, and that's not all over our heads. we might have to reduce our production and workforce, but we'll obviously try to prevent that there. is it other? and so we have for now frozen our investments and start tiring bush, lower gas deliveries from russia since it invaded ukraine. is one reason for europe's high electricity prices. the french nuclear sector is another reason. varsity out of the countries $56.00 nuclear power plants have been at a standstill for months due to plant or special maintenance wax. but normally, francis atomic power plants provide for roughly 70 percent of the country's electricity. and so france, usually europe's biggest net power ex porter,

currently has to do the opposite. import electricity for nuclear electricity operator e d f has promised to put most of the reactors back on stream before the end of this year, assuming both of us don't. and the government says it has made energy supply its priority to lend money a boost will germany needs our gas and we need european and especially german electricity, frances, in favor of more cables, to connect to countries innovated on all. ah, but as all that is just a moment, doubts such initiatives will be. ready enough to keep the foundry competitive, regular machine, we need the government to introduce a fixed electricity price, not only for households, but also for companies low. so that's the only way for us to plan for 2023.

calculator budget and wand. make commercial offers. it will be, if i delete that price would be fixed for 2 to 3 years. the window was all dish or more is determined not to be defeated. and make sure he's foundry can continue to shine beyond the 7th generation. and with that you up to date the w news a here with parish banner g coming up next after a short break. i'm a new groups mckinnon on behalf of the whole team. thanks for watching deeply with

the landscape a reflection of a turbulent history. the cities, a mosaic of different people and languages he runs mountains, reveal unparalleled beauty. ah, a special look at

a special country. ah, she ran from above. start september 16th on d, w. mm hm. with oh i, when you work as an architect like go online or not at all. women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger public?
