measures to prevent any recurrence of russian aggression, the gathering of the world's most powerful leaders is being overshadowed by the conflict and its impact on the world. also coming up in russia, some are raising their voices in protest and placing beater consequences. we have a report to the effect of propaganda there and what people are doing to voice descent and from egypt front line in the fight against climate change, we look at how the country is regulating itself for the violent storms to come. ah, i'm pablo foliage. welcome to the program. ukrainian president vladimir to lansky has addressed it. leaders of this world of the world's largest economies gathered in indonesia. russia's war in ukraine is in the spotlight. this year's g 20 summit,
9:02 am
despite it not officially being on the agenda. zalinski told g 20 leaders via a video message that now is the time to end russia's war. he once again laid out his conditions for entering the conflict, presenting already called a piece formula, and includes a complete withdrawal of russian troops and full restoration of cranium control of its turn. but local, where i'm convinced i'm now with the time when brush is destructive, more it must have, can be stopped. i mean, what us bring in dw is chief international editor richard walker, who's in bali. hi richard, great to see. so ukrainian president lansky, as we've seen, there has made a strong appeal. tell us what it, what else you have to say. yet, we're pablo. and we, we've seen during the course of this war just what a an adept communicator zalinski can be in this international fora. we've seen him addressing the united nations by video, like we've seen him speaking to,
9:03 am
to many national parliaments by video la getting was message out. and his clearly, although he's not present here in barley making use of the same possibilities. thanks to the indonesian host here, who gave him the possibility of addressing the assembled leaders by video link to really try and get his message across at a time when of course, the ukrainians have momentum in the war. they've just recently recaptured the very important city of her son. and you see that kind of communication skills sort of pugnacious in this that he often shows really come across in what he said. for instance, addressing deer g 19 not g 20. essentially telling the russians through that, that he feels that they disqualified themselves from membership of this body. so trying to get his message across that ukraine wants to see an end to this war, trying to kind of re capture the initiative around any discussions of diplomacy which the russians have kind of, potentially raised the plot prospects of recently. but the russian saying, we're ready to talk, but on our terms and the ukranian saying, no, no, no,
9:04 am
according to the un charter, you need to get out of our land completely. then we can talk about peace. so an interesting intervention there by val at him is lensky and of course, he will really want to be trying to sway some of the minds here. some of the very influential countries, not just western countries. here of course, a lot of powerful emerging economies from southeast asia and other parts of the world were richard actually that brings me on to the next question. is there any chance of unity at the g 20 on the issue of the ukraine war yet? well, it has been a lot of speculation in the last few weeks about whether the g 20 would even be able to agree on what they call a communique at the end of the summer. it's, you know, kind of a full text, her vis or a program of things that, that the assembled leaders can agree on. and given how divided the g, 20 years after russia is a member of the g. 20 china is a member of the g 20 in china with the very close to the russians. but from what we're hearing, what we're seeing in the draft has been circulating of this communique that the
9:05 am
indonesians are trying to get together. there is language about the ukraine war and so that simply noting that there are differences among the different countries. so it's saying for instance, that a majority of the countries condemned this war. but also acknowledging that the g 20 is not really a forum for security matters, the g 20 is meant to be a forum primarily for discussing about the economy. but of course, everything is connected. the fall out from the war has been very, very severe for a lot of economies around well, particularly emerging economies and developing economies which are badly hit by high energy prices and high food prices. thanks. richard feed abuse chief international editor richard walker reporting from bally right, so we've heard ukrainian president followed amir zalinski as line a pathway to peace in ukraine in his virtual address to the g. 20 summit embody and
9:06 am
earlier he made a surprise visit to her son, saying the liberation of the city heralded the beginning of the end of the war had san was recaptured by ukrainian forces on friday, and the russian troops withdrew. after occupying the city for 8 months, while amir polanski came to the liberated city to deliver a message of hope and defiance. mitchell, who, it was not very pleasant when i saw the number of destroyed houses, the number of destroyed cafes. this is what the russian federation has done to our country. it shone the whole world that it can kill. but all of us are armed forces, our national guard, our intelligence services, have shown that it is impossible to kill you. crane, mammals, the retreating russians are close, so the landscape visit is dangerous. it isn't the 1st time the wartime leader has ignored personal risk to lift the nation's spirits.
9:07 am
ah, haslam is draped, ukraine's national colors. so to it's cuba and residents, the moment of liberation still fresh on their minds. we just understood that there are no russian troops in the city, and something is changed to pull the smiling. and it probably somebody in the you. so thing. and then, oh, when we return to me, we saw how the flag was the rising by all the people and we were, we were just crying. it was so it was so wonderful. meanwhile, the remnants of russian rule of foster appearing. i had a low billboards, no advising, but this russia, russian hill again to every where is the thing we've, they wanted to from 4th, like people in russia, but it didn't work. victory in house on has added momentum to create an effort to
9:08 am
expel the invaders. but with russian forces just across the river and still lodged in large parts of eastern ukraine, polanski and his commanders know that the war is far from over. dr. mike martin is at the war studies department of kings college in london in the u. k. and the steps on is russia's biggest loss since it's withdrawal from outside cave. i asked them how big of a turning point it is in the war. certainly, i would agree with president lensky. i mean, really, for the last 5 or 6 months, russia has been losing territory. your views will remember the retreat from keys. and then a couple of months ago, the table, the parish in the north, around cookies. but what's special about her, on the 3rd big retreat for russian forces, is that this was pass this her read it to president putin announced as annexed, say parts of russia just 6 weeks ago. and they've already had to withdraw from it.
9:09 am
now we know the u. s. and russian spies chiefs have met face to face to discuss moscow's nuclear threat in ukraine. can this be interpreted as a di escalation? i think throughout the war, russia has been making a hint bluffs about, you know, we're going to say that we on imaginable consequences and the other things been happening throughout the war is that russia, the u. s. and also china. i've been having a conversation below the radar if you like, about how unacceptable that would be and this should not occur. so i think the talk should be seen within that context of continual communication between the main nuclear power in russia. i don't see it as a big turning point will change in what's been going on since the beginning of the war. what away from the ukrainian perspective, what do you think?
9:10 am
how do you see the ukrainians interpreting this the how to, how they get into the talks between the and the u. s. again, i don't think it is a big thing for them. i think, you know, today quite interestingly, ukraine laid out this pathway to pace, but really what they're saying is russia must leave ukraine. and the reason they've done that is because the americans have asked them to take a slightly more conciliatory line in public walls, maintaining their bread lines, which are that before any talks occur, russia needs to leave ukraine. and so these talks between russia and the u. s. i think really part of that constant conversation that's going on now the head of private russian military group factory has defended a brutal video, apparently showing the death of immersion rehab defective to ukraine. what's known about the consequences for the factors in russia?
9:11 am
yeah, no, that's a great question and is not just wagner, that the p. m. c, or all the mercenaries. there's also chechen malicious and the russian military, all of whom have a pretty strict line on disasters. and so we've heard instances of troops being shots by the offices when they, when they refuse to go into combat. and, and we've had whole companies of russian soldiers refusing to fight and then being taken back and in prisons. it's very, very difficult for the russians because morale is very low in the army and at times they are finding hard to encourage that sheeps to fight. and so they taking an ever increasing the strict line in order to maintain discipline. mike martin, thank you for joining us on tito and keep their strong support for the war in ukraine on russia's t v stations. and the pro potent propaganda has
9:12 am
a strong influence on many people, but not all summer protesting against the invasion and facing better consequences. the risks of persecution or losing your job for taking to the streets are very real . this was dennis scorpions walk to work for 10 years. he was a lecturer at the university of saint petersburg until he was laid off just a few days ago for taking part in a protest against military mobilization. he also joined earlier demonstrations against russia's war in ukraine. honestly, on more than of course, i'm sad or but this is what matters most to the basic distinction between good and evil and little going to in. but if we accept what is happening in silence youth and we move to, i don't know how i could look ukrainians in the bathroom smarter in scorpion
9:13 am
was arrested at the protest and jailed for 10 days along with other demonstrators. when he got out, he lost his job. yup. church renew. other men who were in jail with me. we were later visited by the police. no tried to make them sign documents with us, new middles glided in. of course it's all unpleasant. guns sure. miss minute video, russia is going to great lengths to convince the population that invading ukraine was the right thing to do. there endless t v talk shows, as well as this recent exhibition on red square to arouse patriotic feelings. in commemorated the so called great patriotic war against nazi germany. russian soldiers are still fighting the alleged nazis in ukraine to day. it says here who are the high feel pride for russia. melissa,
9:14 am
so i like everything here. this is our history. everyone must know about it, especially children. it's too bad, my grandchildren aren't here. these messages are powerful. this political scientist says their effect shouldn't be underestimated. with that maybe him still and they, and that's how propaganda works. it tells a convincing story. otherwise, many more people would protest against the war in russia. and there's also part of the population that expressly wants war, because it demonstrates the greatness of the country for them. by this logic, the soviet union was a super state that defeated hitler, germany, and russia as a successor to the soviet empire should have the right to impose its will on other people which improve the dentist. scorpion doesn't share this imperialist world view. now he says he has run out of options in his home country jones long the, i don't know what the future i can have as
9:15 am
a researcher in russia. and it will be very difficult for me to find a new job here. he's leaving his homeland and his beloved city of st. petersburg would be hard school in facts, but he has no other choice to news from other parts of the world. now the united nations general assembly has passed a resolution calling on russia to pay reparations to ukraine. the non binding decision was supported by 94 of the assemblies, 193 members. it states that russia must be held accountable for violations of international law in or against ukraine. is democrat katie hobbs has been elected governor of arizona beating republican former news anchor carrie lake lake was endorsed by former president donald trump and back to his discredited claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. a secretary of state hobbs or to
9:16 am
fight trumps loss in arizona was being seen as a milestone in population growth and by some as an opportunity to celebrate diversity. today, the un says projections shoak, the global population has reached 8000000000 people. now, the number of people living on the planet has increased rapidly over the past century. and before that, before this year, and if we go back to the year, 1800, the world's population was, it was around 1000000000 by 1927 that had jumped to 2000000000. and then if we jump forward around 33 years up to 1960, it was a 3000000000 people. and that's when population growth really started accelerating by 1999. the numbers had double to 6000000000 people. and here we are today a little more than 2 decades on, and there are now 8000000000 people on the planet,
9:17 am
and that number is expected to keep rising. although the pace of growth is slowing down. the u. n. projects to population in the world to peak at around 10400000000 people during the 2080 s. and india is the sharp end of this population growth. in fact, 1400000000 people live in the country, which is sad to set to. i've stripped china, it's most popular city is more by which is growing every year and it's feeling the pressure if you ever plan to take a local train and mom by, you should know this getting off and on begins while the train is still in motion. there are simply too many people and every once in a rush with all what 20000000 people mom buy is in the us most populated city. i agree with.
9:18 am
mohammed khan is one of the many, many migrant workers who come to one by to make a living. he works in a tannery inside one boys. infamous slum harvey. he sees mom by took him by surprise. look, judicial people hear them like they can be. and as a crowd, each one walking around the hallway in that crowd, i too had to search for a livelihood in the last 30 years or more. my population have drone, but 8000000 people. that's almost the entire population of new york city resident save. a city's infrastructure hasn't been able to keep up with the growing population. housing, sanitation, and basic facilities can be difficult to find. pushback has been all of that money when we move atlanta. at 1st i didn't like mom buy at all the mom buy
9:19 am
is very tough, not got it. ok, if you don't work, you can't do it. at the age of 25, i was waking up at 4 am and collecting water from several places for us to use. i bought out in a 10 by 12 feet area. we were 10 people living by making a small partition to pay the wash. we had to share only one bathroom. we paid a lot of problems and there was no tap in the house, no toilet in the house. there was nothing. despite the struggle, people continue to live in monday and to migrate that. in india, it is the land of opportunities like 16 or 17 when i came here from my village, my childhood was wonderful in the way it was up, please. unlike the fancy but it had wonderful people in a happiness every facility. but norman only had a case with elegant funding. and so for money,
9:20 am
the hustle goes on and whether people like it or not, that's what it takes to live in limbo. well as u. s. president joe biden and his chinese counterpart seizing paying, have agreed to renew communication on climate debt relief and other issues. now that could energize lackluster negotiations at the cop $27.00 climate summit in egypt. cairo sees the problems of climate change all too clearly in its own country . it's highly vulnerable with the project. it increases in heat waves da storms, storms along the mediterranean coast, and other extreme weather events. stronger warming has been documented over the past 30 years, with annual average temperatures increasing by more than half a degrees celsius per decade. egypt frontline in the battle against climate change is right here on the mediterranean. huge concrete blocks have been laid in the water engineer. esa abdul hamid is inspecting the 22 kilometer brake water
9:21 am
every year. it has to be extended. otherwise, parts of the city of alexandria would be flooded by 3 me to waves. it's a race against dine. we have to steal our sales straight now for the fight against climate change. we've all been feeling with over the last ticket. the headset of registered with alexandria has never before experienced so many violent storms and big waves in such a short time. it's one of the cities most at risk from climate change. the story is the same further south in the now delta. one of the most fertile and densely populated places on earth, the bread basket of egypt. mohammed alarm is one of the millions of small farmers in the delta. he makes his living from sugar cane rice and wheat his
9:22 am
crops, of flagging over good plans that you to ripen in 3 months now take longer so the crops don't thrive in this soil any more, the harvest just gets worse and worse with palm trees, a dying in parts of the delta, the earth is bleached and sandy as a beach. the soil is becoming even saltier, as flooding in coastal areas contaminates the ground water. egypt best known fruit is manga, but the trays of suffering from extreme weather swings, which destroyed almost all of last year's crop, was one of the weather changes too quickly. it's more stable than it used to be as soon as winter's over at the summer. no sooner was summer finished, and it's winter again before that's bad for the mango cropped,
9:23 am
full monday little mother hulls. denial has always been egypt, vital archery. 95 percent of the population leave along the river on just 5.5 percent of the land mass. upstream the grand ethiopian renee suns damn. the biggest in africa is nearing completion in the same way as heat waves caused by climate change. the dam will reduce the now's flow in neighboring countries, putting egypt lifeline at risk. of mor this i'm here with donald decline reporter as if neuron. john, thanks for joining us here in the studio. so we've just seen in that report that extreme weather is also wreaking havoc in the host nation in egypt. and the u. n. has said that they're worried about the consequences am of climate change obviously, and how the talks are progressing at the moment. do you see any progress so far? so they've talked happened behind closed doors, but the kind of rumors that are coming out of her and the reporting,
9:24 am
the analysts have kind of provided of that. yeah, of big tensions that aren't being overcome are easily. and one of the kind of key sticking issues of the poor come trays who are kind of experiencing these sorts of conditions. one rich country to pay money for the damages and not just money to help them kind of green the energy systems or to adapt to kind of increasing the bad weather, but also to put up money to recover. and so far as countries have set out right, but not willing to do that, a handful have picked in europe. started to stump up small amounts of money. so there's some level of progress being seen, but it remains a big sticking issue. right, well we did see this handshake between the u. s. president joe biden and china's president, she's in pain in their meeting, which was on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit now will dare agreement or at least this, this handshake of so of sorts helped with communication and subsequently we'll have
9:25 am
an impact on climate. do you think? yeah, i think a lot of other countries are very happy to see to the 2 biggest polluters in the world and america being mix historical polluters, come next, and greenhouse gases for them to be making public statements by cooperating on climate change is definitely good news for kind of keeping temperatures down and stopping the extreme, whether that's getting was that is also an argument to be made that when these 2 forces are competing, the kind of more kind of one of mentioned trying to show that they're doing better climate change than the other one, so overall, how much that affects things. it's kind of hard to say, but definitely the several areas to key things like that. and they, the mission. now the greenhouse gas pollution where kind of having agreement from the biggest emitters to kind of do better in the car emission faster, will have benefits for everyone. now as it, there was an initiative, there is an initiative and the german government to push for green hydrogen being produced in africa. how do you assess that?
9:26 am
hydrogen is basically an energy carrier that helps massively with kind of cleaning up energy systems. if you can burn hydrogen that's been produced clearly in, in things like industries or making things like steel. some of these are all things where we don't really know very well how to compete. you came up. we can make some small steps for a company. do it yet. and so having massive investments in green hydrogen in kind of all the technology, the supply chains at this stage in 2022 is vital for being able to actually properly clean up our industries. one of the big problems there is that countries pretty rich countries are trying to use green hydrogen everything. and they're also not too fussed about what the hydro ne actually is made with renewable energy or not. so you end up in a situation where some of the arguments to invest in this technology could lead to actually delaying customer missions from the biggest polluters. very worrying stuff, indeed dw climber reporter ashate in iran. jan, thanks for joining us here in the studio. well here is
9:27 am
a reminder of our top story. the g 20 summit has opened in bali with ukraine's president polanski, giving a video address outlining a piece formula and calling to rain in russia's big rush. you're watching tito being used from berlin coming up next is eco africa with a closer look at each of the struggle to control it's plastic waste and that's after a short break and i'll be back again at the top of the next hour for me and the team here in britain actually watching take care policy with
