11:19 am
the regions, dry plains, there is an increasing amount of ground water enough in fact to possibly make droughts a thing of the past. and we are in fact, going to turn our attention now to the world economic forum, which is kicking off in the swiss town of doubles with policy leaders from around the globe meeting to discuss a wide range of economic issues including growing fears of a global recession. the war in ukraine will dominate discussions at davis with a focus on the support that western allies can continue to offer the country in the face of the russian invasion and climate change, as we just heard, will also be a major topic. european commission president aust lafond lion, is set to address the gathering shortly. moccasins package that and we're going to be bringing you that address from also la on the line life. but while we wait for her to start, we're going to have a chat with our chief international editor richard walker. he joins me in the
11:20 am
studio. hi richard. let's start by talking about the main big issues that are going to be discussed. deb us this year, tell us what they are. yeah, well, i mean, you've already names of couple of them, of course. and of course, really the, the big international issue, the big crisis that is really been dominating the agenda here in europe. but also with impact for the white world is of course, the russians invasion of ukraine coming up very close to the 1st anniversary a year since, since that will began. so one of the major highlights will be a speech by follow to me as a lensky tomorrow to the assembled political and business leaders. so that will certainly set the tone for a lot of a lot of this week in devils. but also when you touch on it, the economy is a big issue in particularly growing concerns about and the world economy entering a kind of new era, some calling it d globalization that. and this is being caused by
11:21 am
a lot of the events that the major kind of earth shattering events we've had in the last couple of years. we've had the pandemic, which cause heavily disrupted global supply chains. so where 2 countries in europe get their computer chips from where do companies in the united states, a source, their pharmaceuticals, from seeing that the supply chain can get very, very brittle during a severe disruption such as a pandemic. or, of course, such as the war and ukraine. so a lot of countries, a lot of companies thinking about trying to bring back production of really critical this raw materials products, bringing those things home. and that could kind of course, the end of this era of globalization that we've seen is the last couple of decades, which is course, which is generated a great deal of wealth and which diverse is basically one of the biggest emblems.
11:22 am
so this is going to be certainly another sort of major discussion point here, whether this kind of this, this move to try to bring supply chains or get greatest control supply chain. whether that might go too far and damage the global economy. ok, so some really big, chunky issues. i know we were talking about climate change earlier of the c that's going to be on the agenda. ukraine. but the fact is that several leaders have chosen not to travel to dabbles this year. we've got a u. s. president joe biden, he won't be there. the chinese leaders using paying russian president vladimir police. and so what effect is this likely to have on the discussions? does it make it as relevant as it's been in the past, you know, will it on the face? it does appear quite notable that you know, sort of no u. s. president, no chinese president. but actually the u. s. president taking part in divorce has been the exception rather than the rule in recent, in recent decades. in fact, all along. and donald trump famously went twice now,
11:23 am
but he was really the outlier. so brock obama, for instance, did not appear that as us president, nor did george w bush bill clinton early when once that was on the 30th anniversary, back in the year, 2000 to us presence don't always go, but there certainly isn't. american delegation there, for instance, janet yellen, who is the treasury secretary and she's going to be there. she's going be talking to a chinese counterpart and, and also john kerry, the planet alignments, are the climate envoys going to be there? so, so on the u. s. side is perhaps not so surprising. she didn't pick the chinese president as also he sometimes address, as he did virtually last year. but not always, i think what perhaps more interesting is that the number of europeans showing up is lower. so you don't have richey soon as the new you k prime minister, those would be a perfect opportunity. him to kind of takes the world stage a man one my call also a no show. so well, germany's all our shoals will be appearing. he will be speaking at devils is,
11:24 am
was quite a thin kind of a set of european leaders there. i think that does potentially point a little bit to the fact that, you know, divorce representing big money. big business is not necessarily great politics for political leaders at the moment, given the strains that the economy is facing. but i think we'll have to see in the next couple of years, whether this is the big, you know, whether there's a trend to be detected. and yet of course, big issue is being discussed. you mentioned the war in ukraine, which obviously involve all of these leaders, potentially. some of them who are not there and ukraine will dominate, dabble it devil us this year. what will ukraine and its allies be hoping to achieve? a forum if they can achieve something in this kind of forum? i think what we've seen from ukraine, of course, spearheaded by vladimir lensky, is an extremely effective communication kind of effort over the last year. trying
11:25 am
to ensure that trying to get as much international support as possible for their cause in order to obtain the financial support that they need. the q training the economy has suffered gigantic setback of the last year under this invasion and also the issue of weapons. so they, using every forum they possibly can. lensky most famously of course, recently or most notably, even going to washington to speak in congress to speak to the 2 american law makers . they're obviously endeavors. you have a particular kind of crowd day. you have not just politicians, you have in fact the dominant presence is business leaders. and it's also important for the ukrainians to, to get messages across to them as well. you know, to, to try to peel away in the last remaining of major global companies that are doing big business in russia, for instance. so you're seeing not just lensky taking part in this,
11:26 am
at least virtually, but, but other ukranian officials and also the 1st lady of, of ukraine taking part, trying to get that message out to as many of these very influential people are a divorce as possible in care richard, and i'm going to come back to you just at the moment we are gonna, and just to have another look at the piece from her, from ukraine, because the death toll from a russian missile strike on an apartment building in dundee, pro has now risen to 41 at south to rescue workers pulled the body of a child from the rabble more than 2 dozen other residents are still missing. and ukraine's president is calling for faster deliveries of heavy weapons from the west in the wake of this latest attack, which he is describing as a war crime. another body recovered from the rubble rescue as say, they have little hope of finding any one alive under this mess of twisted concrete . but they keep up the search any way for making you more open norm of
11:27 am
savannah, james said we are not giving up hope of finding anyone alive. the 1st group is looking for the dead. give us the more help with that to actual place with little more them more but doesn't make them. of those who were rescued were rushed to hospital not been with you in there are 3 people on the ward, including the 19 year old woman. they were admitted with wounds after the explosion . we will call them to our in our ward with relatively severe condition, was borrow trauma and head trauma. pursue, bought up at all more living alone wu, across the road from the apartment block, neighbors and relatives pay their respects to the dead and try to process their grief. with it could have been any of us in that place. people, children,
11:28 am
this is a community reeling from profound loss. in all of that one story of hope, this man's elderly mother was rescued from the building unharmed. then he found his cat, a small comfort in a time of tragedy. in recent months, russia's repeated assaults on ukraine's energy grid have forced many cities to roll out power cuts to save energy and the capital. keep still home to 3000000 people. city authorities have restricted public lie thing at night, and this has had significant consequences. the people out and about on the straits dw, sonya found the car ventured out on a dark keep night and sent us this report. during the deed, despite the war, the ukrainian capital can look and feel quite normal. but as night
11:29 am
falls, key of slips into almost darkness. streetlights are off and at many crossings, traffic lights as well. the dark mix, a downright risky for those on the streets, booked on wilkes for food delivery service in kia, taking orders to customers around the city. go few isn't until 11 pm. so much of his work is in the inky dock of water brought to solar washroom work has become much tougher because of the lack of light isn't suitable. it's hard to ride in the dark, oscar, and if a person doesn't have reflectors in them, i just can't see them. how sure. once you have to be careful because that could be people on the street. this new the kids are booking and there are potholes and open drains, which you could fall into their mortgage, their mortar, with
11:30 am
a yamazik with her father. she mortar both withdrew a month ago. buck done had an accident. when he hit the curb in the dark, he smashed all the reflectors on his bicycle, the streets in the ukrainian capital, a clearly not safe at night. and that especially thought for those navigating the city on foot. not the deputy head of keeps traffic. police told me the car accidents involving pedestrians had gone up by a whopping 80 percent since last october. that's when the city was forced to introduce rolling blackouts in response to russia's debilitating miss silent warner tax on ukraine's energy infrastructure. everyone sure has the story about the dock holding there was spoken. it's really dangerous. i'm wondering how i can cross the road to the other side, but it shall go further and look for a proper crossing or should i follow another person? so we're in a group of farmers subaru.
