a morning either with pride now t d w document ah ah, this is dw, live from berlin. the chinese and russian leaders meet in moscow. she gent being is walking a diplomatic title. china wants to be seen as a peacemaker in ukraine. but vladimir putin is seeking more support for his war from his most powerful allies. also coming up as a bible guide for humanity,

hundreds of leading climate scientists sign off on a critical update on global warming, the data. com suborning act. now before it's too late. last global markets react as swiss bank u. b. s. acquires it's rival credits with switzerland central bank, fast tracks the deal, but it's designed to avert a banking crisis. and protest script the canyon capital nairobi will demonstrate, is taken to the streets over the country's cost of living price. ah, i'm glad elf is welcome to the progress chinese president. she can ping has arrived in moscow. the trip is widely seen as a show of support for russian president vladimir putin, president. she is the 1st national leader to the welcome to moscow. since the

international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for vladimir putin over russia, alleged war crimes in ukraine. china has not condemn russia's full scale invasion. and with his forces struggling to make gainesville people, mister putin hopes to signal that he has a powerful ally. russia's front mining ukraine has advanced, retreated, and inched forward since it's invasion a year ago. but one thing has stayed constant european hopes that russia's biggest ally could push it to end the destruction for our ve, courtesy ship kit that is important for us that china does not choose russia side or nipple. we expect china to fully use its influence on russia. you'll bring russia to respect international law. well, tell us, you know, i said to president she, that it's important for china to exert its influence on russia. china has called

for peace negotiations. last month it released at 12 point piece, played for the ukraine conflict. that was widely condemned by the west hoover not making specific demands on russia. you could indeed, beijing looks reluctant to clip russia's wings before russia invaded ukraine. both president g and boone declared a no limits partnership between their country. they've met in person since then. and president, she state visit to russia is a strong signal to the west way. and because m putin didn't win the war quickly, not to rethink its relationship while keeping this very strong alliance intact. so china's main focus is to make sure that it continues to trade heavily with the west, while also maintaining its close friendship with, with russia. but china may be offering russia material support in the war. us base security researchers say the chinese companies are exporting equipment to

sanctioned russian defense firms. and the u. s. has warned that china may soon provide lethal support to russia. there is no evidence of that happening on a wide scale yet. china has taken on and increasingly combat of posture towards the us. i'm believe that as moscow's troops struggle on in ukraine, china is working towards its long term goal of expanding its influence on the global stage. it's a bring our chief international editor richard walker for more on the switch it, what do president putin and she both one from what i think is what these 2 leaders have in common is a desire to demonstrate to the world. and i think particularly to the west, especially to the united states, that they are committed to their relationship and that they're in no mind to be kind of bossed around as they see it by western powers. now, of course they are coming from very different places. we have russia, you know,

bog down and this war in ukraine, which really hasn't gone well. it's lost a huge number of forces and materiel. it desperately need supporters and china is by, by far, it's most significant. a supporter on the international stations as an economic support in terms of diplomatic support. of course, russia would like even more support than that. it would love to have a military support to china, on the other hand is coming out of a long period of kind of covey isolation is just come through a very long piece of opening process after, after essentially 3 years are pretty much locked down, which really hurts economy. so it's looking for things like cheap energy that it can get from russia sheet on the commodities that it can get from russia. and also a country by its side in so standing up to what they see is the u. s. lead order, and that is what they have in common that they both see the united states as really v hindrance to to their goals for russia, for pigeon,

it's his goals in europe for she, jim ping is he's go to become the major player in east asia. and, and potentially around the world. so we have seen a very friendly welcome from putin for shipping very warm words in this meeting. but there is a bit of a wrinkle here because she jumping at the same time, wants to signal to the world that he's neutral about the biggest thing going on, which is actually that war in ukraine. are you really seeing i to i those 2 or is 15 benefiting more from this religious than the other? well, i mean, if you look at this is vladimir putin is much more dependent on she's in pain than the other way round. and we did that, that is really in arguable, russia is very isolated on the international stage. we've seen that russia's economy is looking precarious. it's been precarious for a long time is extremely dependent on commodities exports and the exports of energy . rather, china is basically the one power that can keep russia afloat in the future. now,

washington has repeatedly warned bridging against providing military hardware and aid to russia. is she just being likely to take this step? yeah, we're here. we get to talking about the war. so the chinese insist that they, you know, they have what they see is a kind of a neutral view of the board that, that they're not taking sides. and it seems that they haven't been providing military support to russia on any meaningful level so far. they have been recent reports about, you know, small numbers, perhaps of small arms, things like that kind of getting through via 3rd party, but nothing, nothing really major. yet, if they did go down that path, that would be a really dangerous a change in the situation that would have sensually make the war in ukraine. a kind of proxy war between the united states and china. so that is definitely dangerous territory that the united states has warned china that there will be consequences in the form, presuming sanctions kind of sanctions, you know, russia,

if that did happen. and the americans have been talking to european leaders about this as well. and here we get to the kind of the limits around testing, but we're going to be seeing maybe signs of bad. how far there are potentially limits to. she's in pings, willingness to, to support russia. in that, the understanding is that he doesn't to alienate europe too much, because it's very important from the chinese kind of global strategic view for the to keep the europeans as separate from the americans as possible. and course, if she jumping started providing heavy arms to russia in this war, a european countries would, would certainly be pulled by that. and that would lead to potentially a massive rethinking of europe's relationship with china. if it was the chief of the national, i the to thank you very much. was it now the serious effects of the, of climate change is hitting the planet faster than expected. that's according to a panel of un climate scientists,

which is just published it latest report commenting on the release. un secretary general antonio parish said the world needs to act faster. humanity is on thin ice, and there pisces melting fast. as to this report of intergovernmental panel on climate change, i p. c. c. details. humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years. the rate of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2000 years. concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their highest in at least 2000000. here's the climate time bomb is sticking. tony with harris speaking then i lose. osborne from the w environment is with me as you've been working through this latest report was just been published today. couple of hours ago are what's in the report that we didn't already know. so, and there's not actually that much that's new in the report. the report is actually

more of a summary of reports that have been released over the past 5 years or so to really give a brief and concise plan of what action needs to be taken to reduce carbon emissions for policy makers and governments. moving forward with this, and it's really acting as the final warning that if we want to make sure that we don't hit this 1.5 degree limit or don't go over it by too much any way that action needs to be taken immediately. you there been so many final warnings and reports and, and all that? so what is it that we need to do now? so the report says that radical and immediate action needs to be taken and the emissions are still rising at the moment, so they need, they should be thinking, yeah, it stay the same. it should be saying, and they should peak at the latest by 2025. that's what they're saying with this report. they're also saying that they need to cut it down by almost half by the end

of this decade. if there is any hope, again of not hitting that $1.00 degree temperature rise, i think stop or government industry needs to stop investing in fossil fuels, moving towards renewable energy, and also looking at carbonate capture and storage as a, as a way of also taking carbon out of the atmosphere, whether that's through planting trees or by looking at new technology to do that. now, many, many governments, most governments around the world are behind this panel. the i p. c. c, the international panel climate change. why are we not seeing any progress has been going on for many, many years? i mean, it's not a simple to say that we haven't seen any progress. there has been progress. i mean, at the per se agreement where the governments came together initially to talk about like the temperature rise limits. we were looking at

a 4 degrees rise and temperature by the end of the century for the pledges and promises that countries made at that point. we're now looking at, you know, up to a 3 degree rise, which, okay, is still way too high, but it's still moving in the right direction. if it's, you know, too slow. i mean, a countries like germany, for example, looking at facing out coal based ah, energy by 2038, maybe by 2030, even. but as gutierrez says, like net 0 promises need to be met much earlier than the 2050 that a lot of governments are promising. so it's not just to include it. it's not just him and glue. um, i mean this report is very clear that we still have a chance to come under or to at least not go very much over the 1.5 degrees. it's just a case of like, acting now and using this as the, the jumping off point to actually doing the things that need to be done rather than

just talking about them. it's also a point where, you know, governments can take it back where individuals can start thinking about taking action if they're not doing it already. and where industry needs to look at the company's ation. and it's just a reminder, or like i said before, a final warning that that needs to be done with the w environment desk. thank you very much. as a block. now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. russia stop investigative agency has opened a criminal case against the international criminal court. prosecutors who issued an arrest warrant for president vladimir putin for war crimes, agency excuses, the licensee of violating russian law, including knowingly accusing an innocent person of a crime residency the australian town of men, india, demanding authorities take immediate action of the hundreds of thousands of dead

fish were found floating in the near by darling river. low levels of oxygen are being blamed for the mass die off mosque rotates have with south africa following pulled from a left wing party for a national shut down countries. economic freedom fighters party is demanding the resignation of president civil rama. poster for what they say is economic mismanagement, balance sparked by protest in 2021, lead to more than 3 and 50 day banking stocks have risen again after switzerland's biggest bank u. b. s reached a deal to take over its embattled rival credit suisse. the swiss government is preparing emergency measures to fast track the approval that have been fears that the crises could destabilized the global financial system after the collapse of 2 banks in the us. ah, the humbling end of a banking icon,

the swiss government hastily forced through the takeover of credit suisse by rival u. v. s. at well below market value. switzerland is fearful that a failure to protect depositors could lead to a global banking crisis. the bankruptcy of a global, systematically important thank would have crossed irreparable economic term oil in switzerland and throughout the world. the federal council is convinced that u b. s. takeover of credit suisse has laid the foundations for greater stability, both in switzerland and internationally. switzerland. second largest bank had been in trouble for some time, suffering scandals, public legal battles and mounting losses. these longstanding vulnerabilities were brought to the surface by the collapse of silicon valley bank anne's signature bank in the u. s. highlighting just how panicked investors are. there is hope

that the financial problems were unique to credit suisse and could therefore be contained in this deal. but experts warn this may not be the case once a large and highly connected institution, such as this runs into trouble that there is always a risk of contagion. and it may be a good idea for regulators and central bankers to try to get ahead of that problem . central banks across the globe are faced with a potential crisis of confidence in the stability of a financial system. as investors and depositors alike fear a looming credit crunch. sion of the earth federal reserve bank, but as brilliant hands, peter balk, awful cannot talk us through. this is a banking expert at horn. i'm university stood cotton jones from there. now the stocks have risen again after the credits will take over by u. b. i. so is the banking sector safe or can we expect more problems for the

moment it seems to be safe. there is nothing like panic it, but for sure as you have a higher wilner ability due to the increased interest rates, the central banks hadn't increased into 6 very fast to fight inflation because they're just late. they could have done this more smoothly. they would have record asked about that in, and this has be consequences on the values within a bank because banks have lots of long term positions which lose value if the interest rates go up. and so the vulnerability is their banks that lead liquidity right now, banks that are trouble, right? no, get much more punished than in normal times. now, we'll remember 2008 the financial crisis. it was so government around the world intervene to save banks with taxpayer money. we are told this should never happen again, but apparently now it is happening again. states are making were billions available to banks and crisis. why is that? with 1st promising that it will never happen again, it's somewhat against the construction of banks. banks perform the function of

a liquidity pool for the economy, which means they're always open the risk of a run run. and this is exactly what's happening right now. and, and you can have as much regulation as your life. you want to get this out of the system without just trying to hold system and unluckily, things are valuable for economy. so it would make much sense to have no banks at all anymore. so we must live visits in perfect children, and i'm afraid the regulators were not too much aware of that. they believed if a good, a perfect system of control, nothing can happen. but that's not the real world. there's just the world of technocrats. so what we need is an authority which really intervened fast and which was high competence in case of crisis. so far as this work to look ok. so craig, swiss is not just any bank, it's a huge play on the the international financial market. it did the banks like credits will not learn any lessons than from the 2008 crisis. well, kennedy listed under spec,

a special bank. they did get through the crisis is out state help. i'm local, is this put away too much of the pressure to change to get into new standards with regard to safety. also in to get into new ways how to do bank was a closer look at risk all the time. so they just were too slow to change and now they get into stormy with us and install me with us ships that are not well prepared will unluckily sink. so in this, this respect, credit suisse is a special case. but for short, many other banks, which might be a special case from for other reasons, might be tested as well, and that's a dangerous time you're traveling into. so you're saying that the ordinary people like you and me, you still have to worry about their savings in their bags? no, i don't say says, i mean the banking system is widely diverse, switzerland and germany, very many different types of things. some of the very sound and tell me speaking thanks profit from high interest rate because allow, it allows them to earn a higher margin. so it's kind of time inconsistency for the moment. you've got

large value losses and they bond to portfolios of banks due to higher interest rates. in the medium term, banks earn more money and banks that have rightly hedge their interest rate risk. they already look, earn much more money right now. so some big bank, specialty jump banks, which have been very stressed in the past. they have very good results at the moment, look much more stable than that. it maybe 5 years ago for the bulk of their from home university. thank you very much for your expertise. at pleasure. protests half gripped the cannon capital nairobi was demonstrated taken to the streets over the country's cost of living. crisis, canyon police have fire tear gas and arrested several senior positions. hundreds of people protested against president william router who has been unable to bring down living cost since taking power, september surging prices for basics and punishing drought as left millions hungry

opposition leader right out of danger calls for the patients to continue. despite the government w correspondent, physics marine guys following the protest in kenya from and i, roby. so basically right now, reloading guy and i, and number of his supporters will come out in large numbers, especially for the better part of the afternoon. they asked making their way from our one of the areas just outside nairobi to watch this central business district. however, police have already barricaded some of the roads and tear gas canisters are still being at the supporters and they're running bottles between the police and the support as, as police ensure that the support as don't get to get into the central business district to just a layer on some of the support as just outside of

a central business district. in the as i sent a trade centers, some of the shops are broken into and some of the businesses were actually looted. so the police are very much avoiding that this particular group of support as get into the central business district. because again now the destruction will be much more at shields as compared to other areas within ad just outside they they central business district. so right now are a loading guy and his support as just moving out. what is happening is i kind of a hide and seek game where air ala pops up. to address that, marcia, then the police lupsi, i got a law back, they also discharged what's out from there was a canister. and then now as they moved to another place, so they keep doing that and from immediately or a lot just popped up. and that has been the case in the difference to provide that he has had addressing his people. phyllis murray got our reporting. now it's been

20 years since american and coalition forces began their invasion of iraq on a mission to topple saddam hussein's dictatorship and find weapons of mass destruction. within 3 weeks, saddam's regime had fallen, but no, stockpiles of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons were ever found. by the time us troops left in 2011, the war have claimed the lives more than a 100000 iraq. the civilians, u. s. losses reached nearly 4500. now a semblance of normalcy has returned, but the rock still baffled the range of problems from political instability to poverty and rampant corruption on ex report takes us to today's iraq shock and awe. the rock war started with a brush explosion, sliding up, backed out on the banks of the cheek ris river. by night, soon us troops were moving into the city and they intend to topple dictator saddam

hussein, in a very literal way. this is that same square, 20 years later bustling with traffic, modern hotels and fountains. the city is a far cry from the war, tore in place that the name backed out evoked after more than a decade of sectarian violence that killed tens of thousands. but despite the relative peace of recent years, many are still troubled. one law hardly union enough sidwell. currently, the situation is the same uncle brought up. there is no difference between the current regime and the previous warranty. audible pebble when you want to speak or demand your rights, they confront you with weapons and killing said, i hope it's no different from the previous regime at the hub level, well, with the megahertz. well, i want to, you soon, did a rock, got rid of the tyrants? saddam hussein and the country would be in better shape, but it was one tragedy after another saddam has gone. but we got 1000 other saddam

saddam oh, elephant dumb. but not every one feels despair, and i am woman, and i shall whom i lead echoed, i have faith that the use of the ones who come up with the idea is the use of the ones who lead the revolution by the camelot. the use of the foundation, and the best proof of that is the protests that happened in 2019. we saw the youth laid the protests on it that gave me and bit of hype, already had the animal with that natalie. all back dad still suffers from white spirit poverty, despite iraq's great oil wealth before it was stolen by saddam hussein. now, the oil money still does make it into regular people's pockets. a lot of iraq is still the same and nothing has changed to that citizens hoped for something better, but there's no change that i know available. there's no more shock, you know, just a white bread feeling that things could happen and should have gone much better.
