is done to get, get lots more information at at website to be found at d. w dot com. ah, today's somewhere on our planet a baby was born and with that baby's cries, the world population hit 8000000000 for the very 1st time. now it's impossible to know which baby broke the 8000000000 mark that we can assume with certainty where the birth took place in the global south aid countries in africa and asia where the population is growing most. in fact, india will overtake china next year as the country with the most people. tonight, 8000000000 in counting. the un says we should celebrate how we got here. should we celebrate where we're going? i'm for gulf and berlin. this is the day. ah,

delhi was not like this 5 years ago. the population has increased a lot, unemployment will go up. and because of that, they'll be more theft, rape, and murder, the growing population in the country. and he's also contains how when they got to go with nigeria at the country, with a population of 8000000 people is too much. there are not enough resources in the world. as doctors, you already have that healthy baby. they've been gone. but yet, in the future, we have to be careful how much can be of all of the muted in 15. also coming up pro war propaganda is pervasive in russia and it appears. many russians support the war, but not every russian is following the kremlin line. as our reporter has been finding out, understood me on the north them future. of course i'm sad or,

but this is what matters most to the basic distinction between good and evil, the son of getting cheney mist. dr. if we accept what is happening in silence youth and we move to you, i don't know how i could look ukrainians in the i talk bottom, smothering, blah, blah grand. ah. went to our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with the number 8b8b people. november 15th 2022 will go down in history of the day, the population of planet earth reached and surpassed. 8000000000 of the history of humanity goes back hundreds of thousands of years. but population growth has only recently exploded. a consider this when i was born in the early 19 seventies, the global population was approaching 4000000000 just in my life time. that number

has double. that's how fast things are changing. the u. n says that to day is a day to celebrate reaching 8000000 people has been made possible. of course, by advances in medicine. think vaccines. think antibiotics achievements that are life saving and also life extending. they made it possible to reach this record number and when we go back in time, we can see how recent big population growth really is. the number of people living on the planet has increased rapidly over the past century. if we look in the year 1800, the world's population was around 1000000000. it hit 2000000000 more than a century later in the year. 1927. and by 960, it had reached 3000000000. and that is when population growth really began taking off by the year 1999, the numbers had doubled. you see right there to 6000000000 and today a little more than 2 decades on there are now 8000000000 people on the planet,

but the pace of growth. it is slowing. it took 11 years to go from 7 to 8000000 people. it will take 15 years to go from 8 to 9000000000. the u. n. predicts that peak population become around the year 2080 with 10 and a half 1000000000 people on the planet. india, of course, it is at the sharp end of population growth. 1.4000000000 people live in the country, which is set as we heard to outstrip china next year. it's most popular city is mon, by which is growing every year and which is feeling the pressure of that growth. if you have a 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 that are simply too many people. and every once in a rush with over 20000000 people, mom buy is in the us. most populated city. i

get with mohammed khan is one of the many, many migrant workers who come to one by to make a living. he works and attentively inside. mom boys, infamous slum harvey. he sees mom by took him by surprise. love to teach the people here and 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, my population have drawn by 8000000 people. that's almost the entire population of new york city residency. the cities infrastructure hasn't been able to keep up with the growing population. housing, sanitation,

and basic facilities can be difficult to find. pushed by the approach has been said, minute atlanta was at 1st. i didn't like mom by at all. and mom by is very tough, not got it. ok, if you don't work, you can't. at the age of 25, i was waking up at 4 am and collecting water from several places for us to use. i bought an 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 base 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 my life 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 it was up,

please unlike the crowd. fancy but it had wonderful people in a happiness, every facility. but norman, oh me. how to teach with the, with elegant funding and so for money, the who goes on and whether people like it or not. that's what it takes to live in limbo. ah, officials in ukraine reporting a new wave missile attacks on at least 10 cities in the country that includes the cap will keep love even the west and the city of hart heath. now the mayor of key, the tele glitch, god says that the strikes hit residential buildings in the capital city. air defense systems we understand were able to shoot down several missiles. at least 2 people were killed. the attacks also stroke energy facilities, causing widespread power outages. 30 say more than $7000000.00 households across ukraine are now without power. we want to get our corresponding economy. he is on

the ground in ukraine, on the black sea coast to night. nick, there are reports that a russian projectile is what we're hearing now from poland crossed over into poland, which is a native country. and me the potential explosiveness here is clear. what are you hearing about this? well, so far, the polish government, who really are never normally slow to point the finger at russia who are known for their hawk starts in russia and who have thrown a lot of money, helping ukraine and building up their military. since this war began austin conspicuously quiet, they are not rushing to make any announcements. they've called that meeting in warsaw of the kind of security chiefs to discuss this. but they're not naming it or kind of explaining what they think happened yet. we've seen images on social media of destruction to vehicles of what we believe to be trap from the scene, but certainly it is being seen in this region as

a russian attack. we've seen even nato member countries in the baltics, basically calling as such, and kind of implying that this was an article 5 kind of reason for other nato state support. poland we've heard from senior ukrainian government figures who said that russia will not be it won't be done with the crane that it's ambitions further and that it will go on and attack other european countries. so there really is a kind of sense here of an impending danger of a real escalation to this situation to this kind of 9 months of war we've had so far. but as you know, as everyone has been saying, it is important to say that so far the results aren't, have been confirmed. we haven't had the polish government really saying what they think has happened. and it did. this comes on the day that ukraine saw some of the heaviest russian air strikes since the war began 9 months ago. walk us through the situation in the country tonight, even what you experienced today. well, this is pretty extraordinary. and we were told by the frank government that basically the russians used almost a 100 missiles to day,

which they say they were able to shoot down 2 thirds. but that still leaves hello rockets and about 15 we believe a direct hit mainly on energy infrastructure across country. large sways of the country are without power to night. external images, some key of, of just endless traffic jams, because old traffic lights, route, or other critical infrastructure is paralyzed of c with electricity than also often water is gone. and internet mobile phone coverage, pretty spotty in a lot of the country often far away from the front lines and far west of ukraine near the polish border where i was here today in the mac alive region, actually closest some of the russian ships launching missiles. there's strange f, what any direct hit that we had a russian cruise missile, but we believed that kin joel rocket flying about 10 meters away from us. very low about 78 meters above the ground. the locals told us they had seen these kind of things, time and time again. they believed that it was heading towards odessa and was kind of extraordinary standing there. suddenly you have that kind of whirling sound. and you just see this thing. you're flying low to try and get past the ukrainian radar, so that is not reality of life here in ukraine right now. just as you also just how

close quickly you can be right there. where the war, where the missiles hit the ground. ukrainian president zalinski to day out wind conditions for a possible peace. when he spoke to g 20 leaders in nicky, it is ironic on the day that zalinski is talking about possible peace. russia launches it's worst attack. yeah. i mean, the has to be said that zalinski is talking about peace on ukraine's terms, which means russia getting out of ukraine, maybe not just in the churches that it's taken since the 24th february, but also getting out of crimea getting out of don bass. but certainly we were expecting some kind of retribution after that humiliating defeat for russia in cups on last week. after we've seen lots of diplomatic failings, we've seen in calls for reparations on the international stage. so russia really in a bit of a bind now, and certainly the sense that this isn't the end of these kind of escalations that russia is going to try and force ukraine to,

to the negotiating table at its terms with increasing taxes for the instructor des, nick connelly with the latest to night from ukraine. nick is always thank you and stay safe or in russia, there is strong support for the war in ukraine across all television channels. the pro bruton propaganda. it certainly has a strong influence on many people, but not on every one. some people are protesting against the invasion and they are facing the consequences. this was dennis scorpions walk to work for 10 years. he was a lecturer at the university of st. petersburg, until he was laid off just a few days ago for taking part in a protest against military mobilization. he'd also joined earlier demonstrations against russia's war in ukraine. honestly, i'm not long. of course i'm sad or,

but this is what matters most to and the basic distinction between good and evil, the senate of gooding, chinney, mis. but if we accept what is happening in silence, yes. and we will kill you. i don't know how i could look ukrainians in the i talk about them smothering, blah grand scorpion was arrested at the protest and jailed for 10 days along with other demonstrators. when he got out, he lost his job. yup. shares with new other men who are in jail with me were later visited by the police who tried to make them sign documents with the new middle course. and it's all unpleasant. we can use the sewer miss mani. russia is going to great length 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. commemorated the so called great patriotic war against nazi germany. russian soldiers are still fighting the legend. nazis in ukraine today. it says here was the high feel pride for russia. so i like everything here. this is our history. everyone must know about it, especially children. it's too bad, my grandchildren on here. these messages are powerful. this political scientist says their effect shouldn't be underestimated or go with it. maybe they, in the know, 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 denis scorpion doesn't share this imperialist worldview. now he says he has run out of options in his home country young long. i don't know what the future i can have as 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 scope in phase, but he has no other choice. ah, iran on sunday issued its 1st known death sentence. it's connected to the government's crackdown on what is now more than 2 months of anti regime demonstrations. the death sentence is itself not facing a death of its own. according to amnesty international,

more than 2 thirds of countries in the world have abolished the death penalty. in law or at least in practice, that means that they have not executed anyone for at least 10 years, but 55 countries still use the death penalty. often these are countries that are considered to have flawed or unfair justice systems. china is estimated to be the world's leading executioner. it is followed by iran, egypt, saudi arabia, and syria. globally, amnesty found at least $579.00. people were put to death by governments last year. that is not including the estimated thousands who were executed in china from where there's a lack of course of official data in informations will for the next 3 days, politicians and activists from around the world. they are meeting for the world congress against the death penalty, right? here in berlin, one of those is here with me at the big table tonight,

john bessler, he's a professor of law at the university of baltimore and at georgetown university in the u. s. he has also author of the book, the death penalties, denial of fundamental human rights and professor, we are glad to have you with us tonight. i want to ask you, you are from the united states, a country where the death penalty is legal, where the death penalty is carried out. still, i mean that club as we just heard, includes countries such as china, saudi arabia, iran, egypt. what's it like being an american law professor at a world congress dedicated to abolishing the death penalty? yeah, i've been working on this issue about 30 years actually. and this is that the 8th world was actually in berlin. these are held periodically and the both the, the german justice minister and the, and the german foreign minister spoke out against the death penalty and, and in one case described how it's really inconsistent with a democratic democracy. and if we look at the, the kinds of countries that are using it, definitely regularly, you see china, iran, rac, north korea and u. s. t,

it shouldn't belong in that list. and so i think we need to start thinking about the definitely not through the frames of some sort of crime control, but through the, for that clearly the lens of, of human rights which is now we're squarely, europe is the, i'm going to pick up on it you, you've argued that human rights as outlined in the 1948 universal declaration of human rights. cannot be truly universal as long as there are countries with the death penalty. talk me through that. what. what do you think? yeah, we're connect. yeah, absolutely. so the universal declaration of human rights, outlawed torture, and says, no one shall be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. and if you think about what the death penalty actually is, the definitely really just constitutes a series of death threats. if you think about capital charges on a piece of paper, but it's really a death threat, a death sentence is just more credible death threat. and then ultimately as you approach the ex, actual execution it again at that still that fear of death in a mock execution, a simulated execution is already considered

a classic example of psychological torture. so in germany they put in the constitution in 1949. that definitely is abolished i and in the geneva convention, the 3rd year of a convention, we see a prohibition against both physical and mental torture. but in the united states, we've not focus sufficiently on the, on the concept of mental torture. that idea that simply subjecting someone to a threat of death is itself torture. it, we've heard that from american not only attorneys, but professors such as yourself, that when people are on death row, just the fact that they know that they're this is imminent and they can't do anything to change. that in itself is tantamount to torture. right? and the european, a case law actually establishes that there's case called soaring, which says that there's something called the death row phenomenon. and that means that there's not extradition is going on to the united states from actually not just euro, but other places around the world. and actually that squares up with the, with

a provision against the condenser against torture, which says you should not return someone to a place where they might be subjected to torture. so that's kind of the that, that the, i think the main argument to think about is that think of through a different lens because the states that actually carry out the death penalty actually have higher violet crime rates than those that on average that they don't have the death and let me, let me think about this notion of a violent crime. politicians in the united states have argued now for decades that the death penalty is a deterrent in this last mid term election that we saw. one of the main issues is the increase in violent crime in the united states. i mean, how do you explain this that we're not seeing the death penalty deterring murders for example? right. i mean, i, what i'd like to say is that, you know, crime is about what the offenders do, and obviously people have a right to be concerned about crime. they should be concerned about crime. absolutely. but the punishment is about what we're going to do in response to the crime, what we're going to, how we're going to act. and so if you think about it that way,

you need to start thinking about how we're behaving. and so for example, non lethal corporal punishments have long been put aside things like whipping prisoners. in the old days, eve systems subject people to the pillory in the stocks. those things are no longer allowed. and so what we're seeing as countries around the world are moving against the definitely, as you noted, south africa's constitutional quarters of africa actually declared the death only unconstitutional back in the mid ninety's. so the supreme court, which actually once did declared the definitely, andros additional, 1972, it's right. and the reverse course, maybe they had a right $972.00. what we know that they do alter no, have a track record of changing their minds when it comes to important court decisions. professor john besser, we appreciate you coming in to talking with us tonight. thank you. thank you. the company industry notices for a while. is the numbers didn't add up, the structure was wrong, the transparency was wrong. the governance was wrong. these are fundamental issues that the private equity and the establish equity markets had been working with for

years. and you know, part of the comment i have for many, today's is you cannot trade too far from a delta of human nature. if the opportunity exists in a lightly regulated environments such as crypto for these things to occur, then it shouldn't be a great surprise. they do occur. i'm glad you can call me on crypto brent. that gentleman, he's referring to the collapse of the cryptic currency exchange f t x. it ran out of money last week. it was forced to declare bankruptcy investigators are still working out why this has happened, but up to a 1000000 creditors should be left in or could be left in the lurch. that's not including the or my colleague here, christy blanchard from our business desk. she's here to talk through this f t x christy was worth what? $32000000000.00 earlier this year on friday they filed for bankruptcy. what, why have, right, well, let's put this in context a little bit for a 2nd because f t x was the world's 3rd largest crypto exchange. and

a crypto exchange is essentially where you just go to buy or sell crypto. and why do you have to use an exchange? it's because for the most part, your traditional investment firms are not going to work with something as risky as criptos are. these exchanges exists as sort of outside of the traditional financial space outside of a regulated space. and yet, as you said, they filed for bankruptcy on friday. essentially what we saw a basically what would equate to a run on this exchange. they faced major liquidity problems and, and san bank and fried their sort of golden voy, seo step down. and now we have several, i us agencies who are opening investigations into what happened to this. and we have regulators saying something has to you, you say regulators. i mean it, make me think of the financial crisis, 20082009. after that, we saw the u. s. government erect, more guard rails for the banking sector on our, our regulators, going to step in after this for the whole crypto currency sector. while we heard today from the fad and also from france,

the central bank people saying we need to regulate the space. many people are saying that a regulars are way behind the curb when it comes to regulating this, that there's just so much wealth wrapped up in the space that if we see a crap you collapses or a crash even of this market that it's bound to have a ripple effect into traditional markets and if you think of, you know, countries like salvatore and others who have bought into this is a currency. it definitely poses a lot of risk is. so economy is christy are saying that the collapse of f t eggs is either an event ushering in regulation or it's an event and extinction event of a sector, which is it in european. wow, well i mean crypto has had a very difficult year. i'm sure you've talked about before in the show. they took a major hit in may and just really haven't recovered since then. if we think about this time, last year, bitcoin was at an all time high just under $70000.00 today. it's floating around, $17000.00. i'm so really not looking very good right now. we hear layman brothers moment. the obvious, like you're saying people say this all the time,

all i can really say is the sentiment is bad in the market right now and has more details come out. that could mean people rush to pull their funded funds out of crypto yet. and it's the wild with to so you, you have to be aware of that. when you put your money in, you know, earlier this year you could have made a lot of money. but if you lose it, there's no wild, ryan, f d i see standing behind and i added chris plaza. always. christy, thank you very much. well, the day is almost done. the conversation, it continues online. you'll find us on twitter either at dw news. you can follow me on twitter at brent golf t. v. m. remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. stay tuned to d. w. news for the latest on that breaking news that is happening in the war with ukraine, a possible projectile possible missile from russia hitting territory, nato territory home stayed with the w 3
