use effort against corruption and political crimes ah. in our series guardians of truth and watch now on youtube dw documentary, ah ah, this is dw news alive from berlin. the leaders of china and russia meet and moscow, she's in being is walking a diplomatic tightrope. china wants to be seen as a peacemaker in ukraine. both vladimir putin is seeking more support for his ward, from his most powerful ally, also coming up

a survival guide for humanity. hundreds of leading climate. scientists sign off on a critical update on global warming. the data comes a warning act now before it's too late. ah, i'm glad off as well come to the program. china's president, she jin 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 be welcome to moscow. since the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for flooding, put in over roches alleged war crimes and ukraine. china has not condemn brush, was full scale invasion. and with his forces struggling to make gains, mister putin hopes to signal that he actually has a powerful ally. russia's front mining ukraine has advanced, retreated,

and dinged 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 foot off because she ship cape 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, while the lesser doug, 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 a 12 point piece played for the ukraine conflict that was widely condemned by the west to for not making specific demands on russia. you couldn't. indeed, beijing looks reluctant to clip russia's wings before russia invaded ukraine. both president g and food declared a no limits partnership between their country. yes,

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 am 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 hope. as moscow's troops struggle on in ukraine,

china is working towards its long term goal of expanding its influence on the global stage. so let's bring the w g for to the router, the walk for more of this meeting, it. what do the 2 presidents each of the one from this meeting? what it is interesting to look at where they're coming from, isn't it? because you have vladimir putin, of course, in his war and ukraine invaded more than a year ago, he hoped to topple the government there in short order that didn't happen. it hasn't been doing well. and increasingly he's becoming more and more dependent on china. his is easily the most significant support that he has on the national stage for economic support for diplomatic support. and he would like that support to get further and further. he would certainly love to have strong military for support from china as well. so far as we know, that has been coming in so that that's putin side of the picture. she's in pain, is coming from a different place. it was lead. china is a much bigger power now than russia, but it's also been having

a difficult couple of years. it has are 3 years a pretty much isolation from the international economy. that's just how tough it kind of cove locked down period was. it's opened up in a very bumpy way. recently. he's now been confirmed in power for as president, but he needs to get the economy back on track. and vladimir putin. russia is important as the source of, of energy as a source of commodities of all kinds. and also, and this is where they have something in common as a source of kind of diplomatic support in the other direction. because what they have in common is really lining up against the united states in particular, but also the u. s. kind of late. so democratic order is more broadly, which they see as really the main hindrances to their national goals, vladimir putin, for what he wants to achieve and ukraine and, and you, he sees the u. s. a. standing in his way. likewise, she, jim ping,

seeing the u. s. a standing in its way towards what it calls you, read for cation with taiwan, towards it's a rise as a major global power. so really, this is all about signaling also to the united states that we're sticking together a briefly other really seeing i to i always one gaining more than the other. i mean, it is certainly, it's an, it's, it's not an equal relationship, but not at all. i mean, russia is far more dependent now on china than the other way route without chinese support. russia would be in very, very difficult circumstances. now, she is also trying to appear as a, please tell us more about the, the chinese piece plan for you cry. yes. and this is where i kind of what we just talked about, kind of gets a bit more complicated because on the one hand you've got this really close relationship which i find to demonstrate here. on the other hand, china and shipping a trying to insist that china is neutral on the biggest issue of the day on this

war. and it's come out recently with what it called a position paper on the boss. and, you know, these are all sort of principles for, you know, how you could arrive a piece. and this being sort of hyped up in the, in the media as an extent, as a sort of piece plan is being criticized in the west for a lot of it sort of pretty much sort of working towards rushes favor. but still, number one point on this paper is the importance of sovereignty, respecting, sovereignty and territorial integrity, which any detached reader might think. well, that means, you know, don't invade other countries, don't try, says take away other countries territory. so there's definitely curiosity in western countries. what's he going to make of this? where is he going to go with this? and vladimir putin said at the beginning of their meeting just now that he's, he's read this is interested in talking about it. but at the same time, she jumping just as they met, there must go under your strong leadership. russia has made great strides in this prosperous development. i'm confident the russian people will continue to give you

their support next year in election. those are not the words of a really honest broker of a neutral party. so big question marks about how serious a china really is about this plan. but we'll watch the next couple of days. see what comes out of it. which of walker stevens national as a thank you very much, which is the serious effects of climate change or hitting the planet faster than expected. that's according to a panel of un climate scientists, which has just published its latest report commenting on the release un secretary general. antonia with heather said the world needs to act faster. humanity is on thin ice and the ice is melting fast. there's to this report of intergovernmental panel on climate change, my 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 and at their highest him at least 2000000 hears the climate time bomb is sticky attorney with harris speaking then i louis osborne from the w environment is with me as you, you've been working through this latest report was just been published today. couple of hours ago are watson, the report that we did nori not. so 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 a 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, 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, actually should 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 are not hitting that 1.5 degree temperature rise. um, they stop or government industry needs to stop investing in fossil fuels, moving towards renewable energy, and also looking at carbonate capture and storage as air as a way of also taking carbon out of the atmosphere. whether that's through planting you try 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. while we not seeing any progress has been going on for many, many years, i mean, it's not as simple to say that we haven't seen any progress. there has been progress. i mean, at the pers agreement where the governments came together initially to talk about like the temperature rise limits. we were looking at a 4 degrees price 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, it's 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, are looking at phasing 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 you need to look at the company's ation. and it's just a reminder, or like i said before, our final warning that that needs to be done with the w environment desk. thank you very much. spanking stalks half risen again after swift's switzerland's biggest bank u b. s reached
