whoever it is, it won't get much of an induction period. there's a high level meeting of defense ministers on ukraine at a gum stein military base this friday. and before that, the u. s. defense minister is going to be in berlin and we'll expect to meet his counterpart. so chancellor shows would be well advised to nominate someone who is a defense expert and especially someone who's a good manager with careers mom and somebody who likes the bundeswehr. because the bonus bed on force is they are undergoing massive transformation, massive reform. and they do need support from the person that their home and then of course, those ukraine and germany's help for the ukranian army. but chancellor shows made it clear from day one that those big decisions ultimately lie with him. and that's not going to change with a new person in the job. and an ukraine itself, another heart breaking reminder of the human cost of the war. over the weekend,
6:06 am
a russian missiles struck in apartment building in the ukrainian city of ne pro. at last count, the death toll had risen to 40 and many more are still unaccounted for. emergency crews are working tirelessly to rescue survivors. residents gathered in front of the destroyed buildings hoping for news of their loved ones. the strike has been met with international condemnation, sweden, which currently holds the e use rotating presidency, has condemned any intentional attack on civilians as a war crime. meanwhile, in parts of northeastern ukraine than have been liberated from russian occupiers, police are facing an uphill battle when it comes to restore a rule of law. our correspondent max sunday joined a police team near the russian border and has this report on the hardships on the job. a school caught in the crossfire. the war is creating extra problems for police. detective alex he said anti tank grenades from this
6:07 am
site, found their way into the wrong hands. this footage shows their operation, confiscating them from a civilian lou lou the course mules melissa, which also people have changed during the war the course of the the about the show them now almost anyone can get any weapon they want to do without any trouble. it would, would be for the school was all the boys, but all you have a similar case. so you had a tragic end to make each other but a holistic as a group of in the office. most of that time, the man gave the military almost all the weapons he had found a but kept one grenade for himself, which emma 0. after you experienced some health problems, he wrote a farewell letter to his mother was bah, leslie, he left it with his documents in the list and then blew himself up at home. it was, if some of them alex says he and his colleagues are seeing morse with science and
6:08 am
they're becoming practice collecting evidence of new alleged crimes. as we're about to experience, we had north to the off chance area on the border with russia. we have to cross the river on foot. so we've just been asked to turn our phones off and that's because we're moving closer to the rushing water right now. the russians are known to be monitoring phones. signals in the past have used them to pinpoint their targets. alex and his colleague carina, are here to investigate a strike. it's basic police work in a war zone. to take up much 60 centimeters deep will go gathering evidence, keeping a record that the owner of this field was making herself a cup of tea. when she heard the 1st impact she hid in the cellar and avoided injury. the evidence will be sent to a lab to determine what it was that hit, but the case seems clear to them. civilians were attacked. it was
6:09 am
a war crime. job was also a what you can see for yourself. that except for the yard of the local civilians were gone, there is no military equipment ah no military personnel. nicole in the mouth is not even critical infrastructure that the russians loved so much give and the model of it with, i don't know. maybe they were just aiming for a cornfield, whole nichoela facility self, who couldn't then alarm little. joe didn't chuck. the blast also damaged her house . yes, she, she didn't look wisconsin, they. i thought nobody's injured but the house is messed up. thank god i was where i was because something went inside the house or something, smashed the window and hit inside. it is full of glass. she brought them going to do. her living room becomes a makeshift police station. yes im 17 neighbors make statements and show the officers documentation. every one has losses,
6:10 am
which need to be recorded. the officers jurisdiction ends at the border, but they're doing what they can see when we'll go all the guilty will be brought to justice. every single one of them to the mac, it'll be unavoidable after all, victory put him on the info, both of us. if the time comes up here with alex and his co detectives who have evidence to offer a court, ah, i will reply when we haven't won the war. we haven't defeated the mafia. but this was a case battle to win, and it's a heavy blow to organized crime. today is a day of celebration for me down here. julie fis of me. i was italy's prime minister george maloney, after the rest of the country's most wanted mafia boss mateo, massena dinero. he was detained at a medical clinic in sicily were he is said to have been undergoing a medical procedure. he's alleged to be the leader of the sicilian cosa nostra
6:11 am
mafia and has been on the run for the last 30 years also. and we can now welcome on a 3rd g. she's a professor of criminology at the university of essex and london. welcome was 30 a, tell us more about mr. messina, dinero e. yes. met their mashanda, natalie, the last remaining of the bosses of the ninety's, that essentially embraced letter from the g. that dictated and directed by former boss to the ina that led to the killing. for example, on the front corner, the judge was killed together with his wife and his body guards in a 1992 blown up in a car in palermo or a blown up in his car with his bodyguards in july 1992 and several other facts and bombings throughout the valley. messina, nato was very young, then he was only 30, which is by young for both. and he was coming from your family and he was kind of
6:12 am
the protege of the arena. is being convicted of amount of theirs is being considered a very dangerous and ruthless man. and either rest is basically closure for italy in a way on a period that even though we can never really forget, we surely need to move on from why you know, with, with friends here, how are they able to live in hiding for 30 years? well that's a big question, isn't it? i've actually looked like he was hiding in plain sight. he was in the clinic because he was sick and he was receiving treatment in palermo. so in cecily, he did not have a surgical operation like many people believe that he changes base and his voice looks exactly as we expected and look so. so the question is,
6:13 am
where was he and what did he do for years and how did he do it? problem, it's a mixture between protection by people, very close to him, family and friends of people who are close to him because of his blackmail empower, miss. you know, the now do is believe to hold secrets in many people including politicians, including an hours including i level people that don't want the secret to come out . surely there was probably some corruption going on for law enforcement of different stages. but their theory is a very long time. so clearly what another way to look at this is who gave him up eventually because one of the people that he trusted was the one that eventually led to this arrest today. exactly. tell us more about the circumstances that led to him actually then finally ending up in custody. well, this circumstance is a reality climate that kind of circumstances in the sense that we need an expected
6:14 am
that was not build up to it. we didn't really know, we didn't really know what it was, even real this morning. so the police described it as an improvised operation, meaning that they received the tip of the confirm, the tip, and then they acted which sounds finally strange for the market. both has been on the run for 30 years. what kind of mistake would he have made or the people around him just gave him up, essentially, so that he's quite a little speculation of the stage of what essentially brought the police to this. and we'll need to wait to no more because so far we only know that eventually everyone was ready to walk this morning, basing on everything went on and the surgery from the university of essex and london. many thanks for that. thank you for this time for the global lead to mix and mingle in the swiss alps. again,
6:15 am
political leaders and fios of the world's top companies are in davos this week for the latest addition of the world economic forum, there will address the big challenges over time. a looming global recession, the war in ukraine and climate change. german chancellor will have shots and the heads of the i am at the european central bank, and nato will be there, though the leaders of china and the united states. now the amount of a list are skipping, the meeting this year has many questioning the relevance of the world economic forum. and here to give us an inside look is our correspondent, ben physician, who is the enzyme boss and has been getting a sense of, of the mood there been at. you've got the guest list, who's there, who's not. and what does that tell us? all the coal, the chinese a back with the a chinese being locked out last time or locked down. rather the russians are not
6:16 am
invited again because of their war in ukraine. that's no surprise at all. i've sholtes the german chancellor is going to be here and we'll be addressing at the war in ukraine and as a huge contingent of ukrainians. officials, military leaders, soldiers, all drumming up support for more weapons and reconstruction funds. of course that reconstruction can't go ahead yet, but it needs to be planned. and a quick way to end this war according to again story bergen, an interview in the handles that day. the to day german newspaper was military support and that's piling pressure on the german chancellor will all be waiting to see what he has to say in his speech or the ukrainians. i've spoken to here a full of confidence, and that's also represented at ukraine house, where a video installation in the window shows a life size, sister and brother, walking with pride and confidence through the streets of newly liberated hassan.
6:17 am
and when you walk past, it feels like they're walking right next to you on the promenade here and diverse. it's a very powerful message. and it is indeed a moment of many crises. what a fake and of us. well, geo political and geo economic crises, a very delicate time in our modern history. and one that world leaders a battling from home on many levels are all i felt is the only g 7 leader who's going to be here. but according to the world's economic forum, it's going to be a tough year. the i m f says a 3rd of the global economy is going to go into recession, half of europe, and the high debt at the moment. the high interest rates, all of these pressures and meaning that climate change isn't addressed as the climate protesters would like oxfam says, one solution would be
6:18 am
a 5 percent tax on the multi millionaires and billionaires of this world that would pull $2000000000.00 people out of poverty but you've got to convince the elite here among them this year will not be one of the rich kids, ellen musk, he's licking his wounds after going into the guinness book of world of records, as losing the biggest loss of fortune in history. he pays a true tax rate according to autumn of 3 percent. that was between 20142018. what do we pay? 50 percent in germany. so. 6 we actually have a sound bite from the head of oxfam, a right here. let's have a listen and, and get back to you. but one percent is taking so much and the 99 percent in this moment of great prices are really not getting enough. so i think billionaires is paying their tax not hiding a deal. tax havens really contributing to society will make them be more of
6:19 am
a part of this new phase that we can all move towards. and hopefully it be in time to save our planet as well. and facility is still with us, been the forums founder set out to quote, improve the state of the world. is that still was what devils is about in its 5030 year? well, a climate protesters would disagree. they call the world economic form a world economic failure, but there are some inroads that have being made. people are talking a lot more about climate change here and trying to come up with tech solutions. and it's also very interesting to hear the colds for green or economies. but how do you do that? how do you balance that at the same time of as a cost of living crisis, or there are in roads being made as far as female participation goes in an inequality on that side. 42 percent of female speakers across the board at the conference this time round. and i'll be hosting the 1st l g p t q i dinner i'm.
6:20 am
i'll also be hosting a panel on the same subject on thursday. the 1st of those was held back in 2015, so there is some progress on that front as well. nicole, which is nice to see. one activist i spoke to last night though said the only thing that will make change here in davos is if there's change at the top, that's the only way of changing this beast. oh ben facility and i was seeing what happens at the top. thank you. so much ah, the united states government has launched a new online system for people seeking asylum at its border with mexico from now on only those people who registered on an app and who can show they have a sponsor in the us will be accepted into the asylum process, he w's cut only nancy moy and enos pulled traveled to the mexican border city of
6:21 am
reynosa. to find out what this new policy means for thousands of migrants hoping to enter the us. the new immigration policies have created a dramatic challenge for these migrants from heidi thousands of stock here on the mexican side of the border. trying to understand the new a pastor tries to explain, but many questions remain. lee, you works for a refugee and g o. he toys trying to understand what the new u. s. requirements mean for michael. se zip? well, i'm here to see what it's about because of that and how i can help. i think it's throwing up as i understand it. getting okay to stare for moving up like if your next stop is a storage place least 3 times a week. he picks up warm clothes for the refugees. the nights are cold. this time of the leo tells us there about
6:22 am
10000 people in the region right now. this camp. he's greeted with joy to day. he distributes socks for the children alone. he will get with you. all i can do is help the people hen. that's all i can do in other matters, even if it's only a drop in the bucket admitted any bread and i've awhile for most migrants here. figuring out how to register on the new app is the biggest problem. grady rodriguez who flat on doris has no smartphone. they will. okay. oh with e joy and the and i'm stuck in the i understand the u. s. with their new laws. that's fine metal. but here in camps like this, there are many of us who don't have money for a smartphone, but, but i went to live on up grade, he is frustrated. he doesn't know what to do next. before president biden was
6:23 am
elected, he promised to pursue a more you main migration policy. now, in the middle of his term, there is little sign of it. quite the contrary. many fear that the new course he announced make things even worse. desperation is the prevailing mood at this table where migrants, excess, a power supply with the develop. i can't get into the up because everyone wants to get in almost get in to let their goals and the good thing berlin, mcgroon lovely, got young. i have a problem with the app is i go into it in the app, sends me emails rail. but then when i, when i can open them, look, i'm in via a light number of willing to sign. and i tried to get in this morning to get an appointment this month, but i didn't understand anything. grady has lost hope. he just wants to be back home and leaves the camp for good without knowing how to pay for the trip.
6:24 am
in our washington bureau chief co author at this report, she joins me now in as a more humane approach to migration is what the bind administration promised. now the gatekeeper is literally a machine. how does that go together? the unaware nicole, the wall trump wall is replaced by this ab bell. you know, we have to be fair here. the situation at the border right now as it was before the new kind of law was in place. that is also not. you mean it's, it's the opposite. people are on the road, some of them for years. there is no infrastructure on the mexican, a side of the border. they're waiting there that the drug hotels lead them over across the rio grande and other are kind of areas to go into the united states. so president biden is really in a dilemma he needed to change that very situation. but this app indeed brings very
6:25 am
many problems for the people they are on the ground. workers walk us through the functioning of the app. how does it work, and what are the problems that people are encountering with? it may be beyond what we just saw on the report. right, so as grady said many, many a migrants, they don't even have a smartphone and you need a smartphone to be able to download the apps to be able to download the app. you need a good internet connection once you have it downloaded. first of all, you really have to understand how it works and i tried to download it myself. it's really complicated. it's not that easy. then they send you something to your email . so to make a long story short, the whole process is complicated. but once you are in the system, you can apply, you need a passport to apply, then the background check is taking place. and then on top of everything, you do need a sponsor and you do need to be able to afford
6:26 am
a plane ticket. so basically, that means that only those migraines to have a chance who are vel off enough to afford all that? joe biden asked migrants to not just show up at the border, but rather to apply for asylum from home and, and fly in the us. that's an unrealistic scenario for many escaping hardship and poverty in the rest of the americas. will that do much to discourage the thousands of people who embark on that dangerous track each year. well, and he called, i put out a pretty and similar program of his venezuela some weeks ago to kind of test it. so only people from venezuela who played applied through this ad but have a chance to a get into the united states to get a work permit and it kind of worked. so at least that's what the biden administration says, fewer people left the country knowing that they won't have any chance at all to get into the country if they have not applied for through this and before the end of
6:27 am
the border. so we shall see if this really changes the mind, because as you just said, most of the migrants they don't come to the united states because they just want to have a nicer and better life. they are fleeing hunger violence, dramatic situations, deaths killings. so they have little to lose when they stay because they many of them tell us they will get killed. hell will die of hunger or diseases anyhow. so up it be showing an anti leaving there is i will really die. we're running out of time and thank you so much and great reporting and that's our time. be sure to join us again tomorrow. thank you so much for a company with
