modern lifestyles and the mediterranean meeting, people actually hearing their dreams maybe to me journey this week on w. ah, this is the don't the news live from berlin, russia and china, about a deep in their partnership president vladimir putin, and she didn't ping me for the 1st time since the war in ukraine. they talk security and strengthening economic ties, but put in also makes a statement that's raising eyebrows. also coming up a chilling discovery in

a forest in easton, ukraine. authorities find mass graves outside a city recently recaptured from russian forces. ah, i'm told me a logical welcome to the program. russian president vladimir putin and his chinese counter, but shooting ping have held their 1st face to face talks, says moscow's invasion of ukraine speaking on the sidelines of a summit in was breakfast and put in thank china for what he called it balanced position towards ukraine and urge deeper ties with bay ging, but put in also seemed to acknowledge friction with china about russia's war in ukraine. vladimir putin is in some are kind to strengthen ties with his regional partners. the shanghai cooperation organization of your asian nations has

grown insignificance for russia since its invasion of ukraine led western states to impose sanctions on moscow. by far, the most important meeting for putin was with his chinese counterpart. she jin ping . it's the chinese president's 1st foreign trip since the start of the corona virus pandemic, despite warm words and their opening remarks, putin hinted at friction with paging over the invasion of ukraine. we highly value the balance position of our chinese friends when it comes to the ukraine crisis. we understand your questions and concern about this. during today's meeting, we will of course, explain opposition. western sanctions on moscow have pushed china and russia closer together economically. chinese products have replaced western ones and russia, while china is russia's biggest oil customer,

she jin ping sees the global roll of the 2 countries going much further than a trade co operation in bay shoes yet you're be a china. together with russia is ready to accept the part of great powers long and along the van to play a leading role in being of force for stability and positive energy in a world shaken by social unrest, no geology. the she did sure rule when being she a tongue as their leaders talk in his breakfast on china and russia are carrying out joint military exercises near the pacific coast. the shanghai co operation organisation includes many of the former soviet republics and central asia, as well as india and pakistan. iran is also due to join the talks turkey whose president is attending the summer con summit is a full dialogue partner. putin is set to meet with rich up type air to one on

friday, theresa fallon, founder and director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies in brussels. explain that cryptic message from putin that he's aware of bridging concerns over the war in ukraine. i think it's important that he acknowledges that chinese economy is under stress because of food shortages and increase inflation. so i think that this is kind of putin acknowledging that nevertheless, they've made some really good deal because the oil is discounted by about 35 percent. so china is able to buy oil in a very cheap rate right now from russia. that's their way of supporting russia as well. this is a really uncomfortable position for russia because they are starting to appeal, appear like a vassal statement telling energy and metals to, to china. china is clearly the bigger economy right now, far stronger. and, but china doesn't have that much influence over russia, and we have to zoom out of it and look at the bigger picture. russia,

china prefers have russia in the tent that outside the tent because we saw what happened in 2014, with the war in crimea, that, that was kind of china strategy for the belt and road initiative. and so they realize that if they didn't include russia, that they would hamper their efforts for their big west for central asian strategy . so i think clearly she didn't understand he has to work to put in, well, i would love to be a fun and know what the us because clinton has a very big ego in. this is probably the worst optics for him. the timing of this as you know, meeting. so he really comes to a very week after the ukranian advanced 10 days ago. so i think that she didn't ping, it might try to encourage him. she could, you know, play the big peacemaker if you want. but i, it's also dangerous relationship. you know, they are sure huge border. russia has nuclear weapons. she jumping and put in are both kind of unpredictable leaders of mine. so i think he has very,

very cautious and almost massage pollutants, ego perhaps and reassure him hours. theresa fallen off the center for russia europe . asia study speaking to us earlier. now a mass grave has been found outside. is ume in east, in ukraine? days after the city was liberated from russian forces authorities to say soldiers as well as civilians were buried. there, saith one of the largest burial sides found in any city retaken from the russian army. a pine forest hiding a horrific mass. grave and ukrainian soldiers have found the more than $400.00 bodies buried near the city of is young. after it was freed from russian control over here lie the bodies of 17 of their comrades, surrounded by hundreds of individual graves with only crushes to mark them.

the book of william, we only found this place because russian soldiers opposed to the video online that the for free is there with those of you those ever and with whom i am on the cross that says there's 17 bodies, but i'm that video. well, in that there were more mission mission that we have not counted them yet, but i think there must be at least 25 or 30 bodies. what say she may be, this is not the only math grade. here we now have to work and identify everyone who died here. calling. earlier this week, president lensky raised the ukrainian flag in indian. not the city had been under russian control for more than 5 months. it now shows scenes of destruction. one is a real and people are without running water, electricity, or heat. so lensky sat, an investigation would follow the findings in the forest. me which machine we

want the world to know what is happening and what the russian occupation has led to watch in butcher mario, paul. and now, unfortunately is you are see if russia is leaving death behind in everywhere and must be held responsible, the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war. then we will do everything for this little more. said little ukraine, able to re claim all its territory after we taking is e. m. however, russia still hoes around the 5th of the country after ukraine's recent battlefield successes pressure is growing on the german government to increase its military support to ukraine. former boxing staff latimer clinico has appealed to chancellor olive schultz to stand on the right side of history and send

more heavy weapons. clinical was speaking at an awards ceremony near berlin, where he was accepting a prize on behalf of the ukrainian people. germany has so far, refused to st. high tech battled house to ukraine, saying it would weaken the country's own defenses and dw spoke to clinical after his speech. and he said, russia is trying to use energy supplies, the damp and foreign support for ukraine. the prices are getting higher everywhere for every think and supply of the energy sources. now the winter time is going to be more complex. so of this is one of the keys that russia is trying to use to weaken us the free world, so called for the world, their opinion that we're going to change. we're your opinion gonna change their opinion about supporting ukraine. but we cannot let our us fail if we fail, you're going to fail to. there is no exception. and their propaganda already mentioned that that ukraine is just the beginning. so let's make it the beginning

and end of this aggression. i was former boxing junkin, vladimir plesco, demanding more military aid from germany, r d w political correspond an in a has a witness to the impact of that in person appeal. ah, that is correct. and that was a big surprise actually. and even mister glitch go himself, said that he until the very last minute wasn't sure whether he was going to turn up here in person, in potsdam, near berlin, or whether he was going to accept the award digitally from the war zone from ukraine. but then he felt that it was necessary to come to germany and to remind the german chancellor and also the german people of the necessity to show solidarity. and more concretely, of course, to deliver those heavy weapons. those modern tanks that he says, ukraine desperately needs. he said we've shown that we can push back the rest military,

but we need to seize this momentum. and modern combat tanks would help us tremendously . and he addressed chancellor charles, personally and said, you are on the right side of history. you have shown solidarity with ukraine, but of course now you need to strengthen this position by delivering what we need and to please let us do this together. this was his message and actually there was quite a bit of tension here in the room because the representative from poland and the us were also here. and mr. glitch could thank them explicitly. but he, at this message of warning to the germans, essentially because he said that he can tell that people here are beginning to get tired of the war in ukraine, and that they're more worried about rising energy prices, et cetera. but that the people in ukraine don't have this, luxury of getting tired of the war authorities in pakistan now estimate that some 1500 people have lost their lives in the devastating flooding there. hundreds of thousands more said to be homeless as huge swathes of the country remain under
