for the present to future heads filled with ideas. so get ready for the brain update. 40 to the answer to almost everything starts january 15th on d w. ah, ah ah, this is d, w is life from bernard, letting me put in seeks, closer, military ties with china. the russian presidents overtures gets a guarded welcome. beijing is officially neutral over the war in crime. also on the program, china reopens it borders after nearly 3 years of code, 19 travel restrictions,

but other countries express concerns about beijing's rising infection numbers. on brazil, the class 3 days of national morning has the world pays tribute to palate. rios american or stadium is mixed up in honor of the beloved calling superstar. as fans express the sadness that is that ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. vladimir putin has called for close at military cooperation with china. the russian president was speaking during a video summit where the chinese leaders asian pink, though beijing has not condemn the war in ukraine. it's also not provided russia with any direct support. moscow's latest air strikes have left most of ukraine without power. light is on missouri with, oh god, it was like a more attacks from russia on ukrainian cities round after round of drawings and

cruise missiles. even though ukraine's air defenses are largely holding up falling debris from the intercepted rockets still causes significant damage. as this woman and keith looks on in her children's bedroom glass everywhere, vladimir putin held talks with his chinese counterpart. the video cole happened to take place on the $100.00 the anniversary of the founding of the soviet union. its demise is something putin bitterly regrets. together he and shoot in ping want to stand up to pressure from the waist. and putin, at least once closer, military cooperation with beijing were a special place in russian chinese relations is occupied by military and technical cooperation. this contributes to the security of our countries. we aim to strength and co operation between the armed forces of russia and china get in a difficult international situation. we are ready to build up strategic cooperation

with russia. provide each other with development opportunities and be a global partners for the benefit of our peoples. chinese official stance on putin's war is being quite objective and fair. she told person that position isn't changing and that the road to pace would not be smooth. potent, coal g. his dear friend when and he invited him to moscow early next year. you was or very me, lena jack rover runs, a austrian institute for european and security policy. i asked her whether china shed rushes enthusiasm for closer ties. it seems so though we dont know exactly the scope and scale of dar military technology curve cooperation between these 2 states. a lot hasn't been revealed yet. so we have heard about the intentions about their plans, a lot of military exercises ah, that has been conducted and even during a rigorous war against ukraine,

a butter lisa domain is obviously the one that is going to be exploited and explored in the years to come obviously, russia has become completely dependent on china to bypass to western sanctions. some even describe it as a vessel of china or a junior partner. ah, but china also needs to support russia in this critical, critical phase alpha risk swore because it has to avoid that anew. as security vacuum could emerge in the north of its borders next to the military tensions, wheat, india along the line of actual control, as well as the military escalation into straight to for a town. so it's not an altruistic relationship. it's a really based on reale politic national interests, and i anticipate that the military corporation will

a further deepen and increase is here. that's, that's very interesting. so, so, china, embracing russia is less to do with china and russia being necessarily on the same economic are paid or the, or having the same world view. and more about if, if russia remains stable than at least that border is taking care of a we don't want anyone messing with that. it's more than that. it's of course also about backing each other in terms of potential risks at home, out. so meaning arising from internal instability, riots and political crisis, the stool leaders fear their own population the most. so of course, are having a predictable partner and is a, one of the major a common goals, but also creating a credible counter. let's say, credit, credible, come to way to the american global power projection in all relevant corners of the

rules of the world. and thus, once again, they need to show a military muscle true military exercises. true, of course. so co ordination a beat into space, exploration beat in the satellites, or as i said in the military technology domain. so it's not just about a quick, a quick word on this, this notion of coordination because you've written recently, the china and russia may have coordinated at the timing of the ukraine invasion. what makes you a suspect that well, obviously the russian president of time to start of the all out war with the enter the olympics. so knowing how important this was some a to the chinese president her seizure in pink her. i'll following, of course sir. the deteriorating sanding of china amid the looming cur pandemic saw

on the timing was certainly coordinated with the end of the pandemic. now, i would argue that it appears to china's true intention. and given the summit between the chinese president in the russian president on february fort where they announced his relationship return, no limits are these friendships with no limits. i argued that the chinese to intention was not to cite which wished to give a green light to the war, but rather to provide the credible, come to wait to the american efforts or to the couple from china to create an alliance of democracies. you remember probably also the boy called to alpha dirt olympic games. and once the war started china hit or to support russia, which actually happened. thank you so much. fascinating. thanks for joining us for jack rover of the austrian institute for european and security policy. thank you very much. i'm all countries, including france and israel are requiring people,

arriving from china to show negative koby 19 tests, beijing's re opened its borders after nearly 3 years of pandemic travel restrictions, china, surgeon corona, virus infections and making other countries nervous. a moment to remember for these passengers in china, nationwide travel has opened up again in the world's most populous nation. beijing's decision to loose in its cove at 19 restrictions in early december was a welcome surprise for many hear from her. they should indeed open up and i'm supportive of this. everything including travel is getting more convenient and i'm going back to my home town now. finally, i can go home. it's great. yeah, like i said, i am really looking forward to traveling internationally again because i haven't

gone abroad to ski for a long time or i'm a professional skier, so i can't wait to ski abroad again. while the rules surrounding international travel will be relaxed on january 8th ahead of the lunar new year, china's busiest travel season. but a surgeon cove at 19 cases has prompted other countries to already impose restrictions on arrivals. from china. the us, japan and south korea are among those now requiring a negative test. italy and spain have also introduced restrictions despite the use health agency saying such measures are a necessary chinese state media called the testing requirements. discriminatory with china, 0 covey policy winding down an infection, numbers going up, traveling like it's 2019, could be a long way off. as a quick look at small stores, making headlines around the world will start in the u. s. where lawmakers have

released 6 years of donald trump's tax returns a former president fort for years to keep, keep them secret documents show. he paid only $750.00 in federal income taxes for 2 of those years and nothing at all in 2020, anybody would understand a caught in romania has ordered controversial social media personality. andrew tate to be detained for 30 days. he's been arrested for alleged to human trafficking and rape. the former professional kickboxer and self described massage analyst is engaged in an online spot with climate act of his gretel thornburg. in recent days, syrian authority say a militant rocket attack has killed at least 10 people in the east and they are elves or province. the petroleum minister says the attack targeted 3 buses carrying oil industry employees. that image about that to me and my when a military court sentenced, ousted civilian liter our songs to cheat to 7 more years in prison. at the latest
