discuss in being this war. also coming up tonight, ukrainian officials warning russia is gearing up for a massive aerial attack satellite images from a russian airfield suggesting preparations for an assault and germany in norway, asking nato to protect under water pipe law. that of secretary general, you installed in burke, welcoming the call. it comes after weeks after explosions, blamed on sabotage which damage the north stream. pipelines which were designed to bring rushing gas here to germany and china signaling a relaxation of its strict cove. it might, teen measures several major cities are easing protesting requirements, as officials try to diffuse public anger. that has fuel protests across the country . ah,

ah, i'm frank off to our viewers watching on p b as in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome, we begin tonight in washington. you as president joe biden has welcomed his french counterpart, emanuel macaroni to the white house in the 1st state visit of biden's presidency. the 2 leaders who spent the day together ahead of a lavish white house dinner, which was scheduled for this evening. talk to our focusing right now on the war in ukraine. but president macro also wants to discuss trade. he's accused biden's us focused climate policy of hurting frances economy. okay. the 2 leaders agreed to work closely on energy and climate issues. moving forward. you want to look yeah. and both presidents are repeated their commitment to support ukraine in its battle against russia. today we reaffirm the france the united states, together with all our allies and al all our nato allies in european union, g 7, stand as strong as ever, against russia's brutal war against ukraine. we talked

a lot about that by lateral meetings who are continue to strong support people ukraine as they defend their homes and their families, and their sovereign territorial integrity against russian aggression, which has been incredibly brutal. and those sentiments echoed by the french president to gave special thanks to the u. s. for its support for ukraine. we clearly condemned the school immediately. we lead all the diplomatic actions and to condemn these for the war crimes committed by russia on the ukrainian soil. and we support both heat, ukrainian army that is resisting the ringing population resisting as well. and please allow me here to that. i mentioned thank the united states of america for all b says port which provided the strong words there for both leaders reiterating their

commitment to you. great. i asked are very on mc hill or tripler in washington or what this continued support is going to look like. moving forward. there is more and, and there's actually a joint statement that the 2 leaders issued after they're very long talks that went on for more than an hour, longer than initially planned. and they put it in writing that there will be robust, direct financial budgetary supports coming, and that they will continue to support ukraine's capabilities for defense, particularly add offense capabilities that there will be significant assistance to help the ukrainians get through the winter. and there's a lot of focus on essentially cache coming ukraine's way. so we have seen this in recent months that actually is shorter than a weekly basis. we see more and more pledges of either finances or military support

coming through. there's also talk not in here, not in this press conference, but they're the us wanting to train more ukrainians, potentially in germany. so if anything, those efforts to support ukraine are being ramped up. but interesting, the we also just heard a joe biden say that he would be willing to sit down and talk with vladimir putin as most likely on the phone, if there actually was some kind of a view towards ending the war. we know that emanuel mccoy said it himself is planning on talking to vladimir putin of the coming days here. that is definitely a change of position. we know that there was not a possibility of the g. 20 summit in indonesia just a couple of weeks ago on besides ukraine. what else stood out to you in this particular office between the 2 leaders? i just want to add on potential talking to volume efficient. he would only do it if nato leaders agree together with his part is so that is

a caviar there. and what else they had to talk about is actually what is a looming rift economic rift between the european union and the us with joe biden. having pushed through legislation, huge green infrastructure investment that specifically excludes companies that are based abroad that are not manufacturing in the us. that was a huge pressure point that saw him on omar call, essentially accusing joe biden endangering potentially creating a rift in the west of destroying a level playing field. now we've seen little concrete headway here, but we've seen to abide and say that it is the intention to create jobs in the u. s . yes, but not at the expense of europe, and how that can be prevented is now being pushed into a working group. a workforce. so amanda mccord doesn't come home with

a concrete plan, but a pledge that there is an intention of not destroying jobs in europe and just shifting them towards the u. s. but that is essentially an outcome of the ukraine war together with high energy prices. much higher energy prices in europe. there is industry already moving from europe this way and also to china. that was michaela cook to their reporting from washington was an ide satellite images suggest that russia may be gearing up for a massive aerial assault on you crate. a take a look at these pictures, they show almost 2 dozen long range bombers and cruise missiles being prepared for combat at the ingles to airfield, near sort of a blast in russia. ukrainian military officials telling local media that the bombers will be used to increase strikes on ground targets and you crate especially energy infrastructure a corresponding young, philips old c. as in keith, he told us how prepare ukraine is for these latest expected airstrikes.

well, the image is certainly come as no surprise to ukrainians on sunday. already information emerged that new messer for waves of attack might be imminent, actually a era alerts. so we're active here in key f and all over the country this afternoon . but so to my knowledge, are some airplanes where spotted bud, sir, no, no strikes were registered. in the past weeks, the ukrainian air defense has been quite successful. i was able to intercept more than 2 thirds of all incoming missiles. but of course, the destructive power is so still enormous, and we have to keep in mind that ukraine is still suffering from the effects of the past. waves of attacks, they are still millions of people without power. still the government asked people not to panic and not to live in this constant anticipation of a new mess of text,

because this is also part of the psychological warfare. and there was a corresponding john phillip schultz, the reporting from keith. here in berlin, german chancellor of shoulds met today with nato secretary general you installed burg on the sidelines of a security conference. sholtes wants needed to oversee efforts to protect critical under c infrastructure from possible russian attacks. now that's become a top priority for european leaders after the nord stream, one in nord stream to gas pipelines, connecting russia in germany were sabotaged back in september. stoughton berg. as welcome to this initiative, not in a joint press conference today, we will solicit not. i hope that we can also formally welcome finland and sweden s new allies before the next natal summit. as we all decided together in madrid for germany. however, it is also clear of our obligations in the alliance apply without ifs and buts for every ally, for every threat, for every inch of the alliance territory distances know if in there,

but for every note, nate, remember i asked g, w political correspondence? i mean young. what chancellor shoulds meant by this in concrete terms. well, i think brent on one level is just a reminder that with sweden and finland inside nature, they will enjoy the full benefits of collective defense within nato. and that, of course, is very important for, for those countries at being so close geographically to russia and feeling a potential threat coming from there. beyond that, i think the, the, the sort of statements we've heard again from all our shows and yet stop by today of remain fairly general at ukraine must, when the war must be supported at russia, must not win the war, but at all costs or so nature must not be dragged into the wall. that's what the 2

men were underlining and in terms of as concrete ideas, perhaps the most concrete thing was this thing you mentioned german, germany in norway of got this initiative to get more coordination per protecting infrastructure, particularly under c energy pipelines using the navy's and so on and the other resources that nato has and sold and big the secretary general has given that scheme. he's blessing. so that looks like an action that's going to go forward. and i mean, that really speaks to this sense that the russian threat is a threat that just doesn't pertain to ukraine. also pertains to pipelines that lie on the, the beds of the baltic sea in the north sea. for example. i mean, the russian threat is real and it's expansive isn't well, absolutely. there, it's a, it's a multifaceted threat as nato has said,

all along. and of course, the supplies, particularly to the energy infrastructure, particularly following those explosions in the bold take on the now muffled nodes stream pipeline there, which is, it's believed, you know, was an attack carried out by russia, at least that's what many is saying, but it's not only about energy pipelines is also about things like on the c, a data cables, internet cables, bay to would be vulnerable. so of course, it does make sense for the nato countries to see that to a strategic threat and to coordinate more closely. perhaps with the help of natal central, central h q to protect those systems. so mean young with us tonight here in berlin. so i mean, as always, thank you. and here's a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, south africans blocked, to traffic in the capital for toria. today to protest the paroling of the white we

public anger. frustration boiling over in wine, joe and scuffles with covey workers in shanghai, rare public displays of anger with china's strict coven policies. in recent days, in many cities, they moved into something even began with protests as calling for the communist party and jean ping to go. there day oh scenes, they reminded many of the t known men protests 1st, a feeling that came to my man when i read and he's very incredible protest across china. wester spear rita of 19 he 9 has come up in beijing, responded by unleashing a fierce crackdown,

deploying huge numbers of police to stamp out the demonstrations. but it is also signal changes to the strict cobra policies that have angered so many of the lead on wednesday advice premier soon john learn told health officials china was entering a new stage in its pandemic approach due to increased vaccination rates and experience with the corona virus phone call. inquiring joe authorities have already announced an end to mass p. c. r testing and lifted locked downs across the city. all part of a drive to implement cobit rules with more local flexibility. according to officials. beijing said is also planning to step up, vaccinations of the elderly, lagging vaccination rates among the old have been used to justify the current 0 covey policy with protest, seemingly stamped out for now and

a shift away from the approach that provoked them in the work paging may well, the hoping the biggest challenge to its authority in decades is already behind it. for earlier i spoke with hungary law. he's an expert on the chinese economy and governance from the university of nottingham. and i asked him whether the relaxation of the 0 coated policy would have been possible without these protests. i think we are seeing that we the subtotal graduate change in the old career policy some days ago. state comes old. i'm sure the amok party state have issue 20 articles in a way to prepare for gradual exit for the and i sing the reason, protest with fast acidity or speed at r e l a k exit process. however,

i can for see of on this we pause have seen process. i messy, there would be a lot more local variations. some local government may awful consume if i'm still in some way to pay for partials, you quit policy, whereas are gone. possibly in gong, jo, non, i may be and be law determined to move forward to your more transfer exit. however, i think the situation in flux, so it's hard to say, wow, how things were end of it. but it's obvious that the situation cocked of the police in chinese authorities off guard. they weren't expecting this in. what does this tell us then about? she's in ping and the chinese government's ability to read the public mood in the public temperature is she's in being as he completely out of touch with the people

when the progress shows that they are thought he might have all estimate the capacity to sustain that 0 call that policy or indefinite future and in indicate the public had been quite a lot a lot of problems have seen in the recent years me that strict imposition or policy and they would lie faster. we lack sanctions and i think that the men possibly exceed either expectation or leadership and to recently. so the leadership definitely is caught off guard by what has. and so they thought they could put on the boat harris and grievances outside. now they need to make more concession to gretchen leave a seal. however, policy reaches actually before unit of time,

the standing in the power of president. she's in peak. is he weaker today than he was a week ago? while he doesn't, he look out today, dan weeks at all, especially at a conclusion not potty congress a couple weeks ago. but however, i would see either current protests as a government crisis in a way, but it not prices up himself onto regime. because her protests still largely uncoordinated. and he has very specific demand, which is about, as you call it, policy, the public wanted to be and even though some radical a mall met with you, mr. on the line from the university of nodding and we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you, but as a is world aids day, but with worldwide efforts to bet the corona virus pandemic,

there has been much less of a focus on h. i. v. aids, the un estimates that last year, around 38 and a half 1000000 people around the world, we're living with h i, b, or 8. and although it is claiming for if you were lives that it did at its peak back in 2004, 650000 people, died of h i v related causes last year. there is still no h i v vaccine. and that makes preventing h i v to avoid infection even more important africa. it has the highest number of people living with a virus. adrian increase reports tonight from cape town in south africa, where it's hope that trials for new methods will drive those numbers down. once a month, since their medical penguin comes to this health center to get a package of prep, a daily pill of the pre exposure prophylaxis, protects people from getting h i v. when having sex. so my family generation to generation it's,

they do have their age of repository. so i came here to take breath because i wanna, i don't want to be that puddle fudge ocean. that is hugely plaza to the health center of the desmond to to health foundation doubles up as a research site for many years. residence in the massive familiarly township have been participating in clinical trials 18 year old marvel bengal ana is also considering taking part in a clinical trial for prevention options and injection instead of a daily pill. recently we had the breakthrough of that day per injectable, that only had to be given every 2 months. that cavity, grover, long acting injectable. and at the moment in this very vicinity, we are testing a 6 monthly prophylactic injectable known as lemma capillary. so if we can get to a point where young people round the world, only have to take an injection every 6 months, twice a year. that would be an extraordinary breakthrough. linda. gail becker is

a leading infectious disease specialist overseeing protocols for several prep and h. i v vaccine trials. she praises the achievements in the past. in the ninety's, hundreds of thousands died of aids. now anti retroviral drugs allow patients to live a normal life with a normal lifespan. but the crisis is not solved. particularly in the global north, there has been a, you know, turning away from a chevy. i think many people think the pandemic is over far from it. we had 4000 young woman became infected with h. i v in the last week alone. and we still have a $150000.00 children newly and did result chevy every year. at there is still a pandemic raging in many parts of the world. it's almost like we've written half the book. and you know, we walking away before the rest of the, the book is,

is finished am. and that to my mind is a, you know, is, is, is a catastrophe because of all the investment we've had in the last 30 years could be lost. if we don't actually finish the story, then came up of been gone. i wants to play her part in finishing the story back at home. the 18 year old is busy, convincing friends to take prep the article because it's a little eton t repeal because they're not sick. i think it's to get people more and catered about it. mattel, bengal on assess her generation, is the 1st one to openly talk about h. i v, an important step to end the pandemic. ah, started in belgium. they crushed out of the world cup in guitar after drawing with 2018 finals croatia who are through to the knockout stage. belgium, or left a room,

a string of misses as they drew, knelt no. oh, the belgians had that back to the wall ahead of their final group came meeting a wing to guarantee their progression. and they were given an early sky when the referee awarded croatia penalty for this foul on on drake from reach of to 50 minutes. but were rescued when via wu, diane lovering, off site at the preceding pre k, the 60 minutes. so kevin de bruna set up his sides 1st real chaunce, but neither yenny carrasco nor how thought substitute woman to do talking was able to school the gold belgium so badly needed. we just 3 minutes left luckless because he was unable to stay at thomas munoz. if across the caper, adding a 90 minute, he produced perhaps the midst of the tournament. as the intimate on man failed to make the most of talking as all its high hanging close in frustration and disbelief, belgium beat farewell by built in the other half of group of the calculation

for morocco was simple when or draw against canada and they would advance and when is what they did, the north african score 2 goals in the opening 23 minutes. you said in a series scored the 2nd and his side was able to cruise through to their 1st appearance in the round of 16 since 1986. while the tournament is seeing a higher numbers of female fans inside stadiums than ever before, an error, but women from guitar, saudi arabia, morocco, indonesia, have attended in larger numbers than expected a tom, an image as casals woodcock, women from all over the at afford celebrating 15 and attending gains in big numbers was the bottom and then eventually women are going to games. now i've lived in cut off her 28 years and i've always gone to watch football. i support the local club, outran cathy and my culture is moroccan. we're supporting the national team as

a national duty. we all should be in the stadium to cheer for our team because that gives the motivation as well as fears. and once i had my nightmare, we come from a conservative country. some families don't accept women going to stadiums while other families don't have a problem with it. today i came with my colleagues and it's totally fine. i say out the any many out of women like me of what is going to say didn't supposed feed off sexual harassment. however at this was going to increase security diversity class women dc. nowadays that are noticed addictions on women attending football matches in the out of port. but that are cultural differences. moral can woman have long attended matches while saudi arabia only lifted their ban on fema supporters. 4 years ago miranda women now have the same rights as men, stadiums and i have been in our stadiums are open for everyone. football has been

in saudi arabia for many years, but this world cup made all of us super excited that are a lot of new things at the 1000 woke up and out a woman embracing the experience. you're watching the w news. after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the day to night. all, we're nothing in china. how a pandemic policy revealed weaknesses. the road is not supposed to see. will be right back. ah ah
