a critical update on global warming and with the data comes a warning act. now, before it's too late and the french government narrowly survive, you know, confidence motion sparked by president microns deeply unpopular pension report. but that doesn't mean that his troubles are over an global markets, reacting as the swiss bank, u. b. s requires its rival credits with switzerland central bank, fast tracking the deal designed to avert a banking price. ah, i break off, it's good to have you with us on this monday. they once touted a partnership, they still do without limits to day. that partnership between china is she's in peeing and rushes one mir brewton. it's been on for display the leaders holding for
8:02 pm
hours of informal talks on day one of she's state visit a, he's the 1st world leader to be welcome to mosque alex is the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for food and over alleged war crimes. in ukraine, china has not condemned russia's invasion and with his forces struggling to make gains, putin is looking to signal that he has a very powerful ally. standing shoulder to shoulder to authoritarian leaders defiantly pushed back against western values, nato and the united states. for russia's president, she's visit is a diplomatic qu, showing much needed international support as moscow becomes increasingly isolated with the model deal. but it's, they did it. so she wrote, i am very glad that you found it possible and found the time to come in the evening and talk in an informal, friendly atmosphere about all issues that interest us for
8:03 pm
chinese president gene ping. it's a chance to play a global peacemaker. and to project china's power in the face of warnings from the united states, the message from the u. s. is clear, beijing will endure har sanctions if it provides moscow with weapons for the war in ukraine. she and potent are determined to craft a new world order. one that according to them, does not follow dictates from the world sole superpower. yes, john, we are partners in comprehensive strategic cooperation, j. it in this dances that determines that there should be close ties between our country region where she and pollutant were expected to discuss beijing's 12 point piece plan, which calls for negotiations between moscow and key. but it doesn't meant
8:04 pm
withdrawal of russian troops from ukrainian territory. it's an omission not lost on ukrainians. mix all the little shaw for all the cholera. one dictator has found another open. joe. they attract each other. but it will not change much if they get support for the war from china. the obscure wind leaves us not only could book out as a 3rd grade, seems like some kind of game, like they want to tease the western world. but that's my opinion. what the aesthetic sto, utilizing ukrainian president followed amir zalinski has made it clear that no peace can be achieved as long as russian troops continue to occupy and protect his country. and he is an interested in giving any ukrainian territory to pollutant zelinski and she are expected to discuss the war on the phone in the coming days are going to bring in our chiefs international a risha walker. richard really look at these 2 presidents. they're not standing on equal footing. i mean, these are not a meeting of to equal member,
8:05 pm
we're talking about their power. i know that that's true. mean russia is really extremely dependent now on china. i mean, if we just look at the situation that these 2 men find themselves in, you know, russia, it's now more than a year, of course, since it invaded ukraine back in last february, vladimir putin was hoping that he would defeat ukraine quickly. that he would install a favorable regime that to him see that war has become an extremely difficult conflict for him. he's lost huge numbers of men, he's lost, huge numbers, amounts of materiel, and he's lost the faith of many countries around the world. if you look at the diplomatically isolated russia is, he's completely lost europe as customers for russian energy, which was, you know, his biggest kind of market for russian energy. he's turned nato against him. he's
8:06 pm
consolidated nato is adding new members. so he's very much in a difficult spot. she, jim ping, china is really the only major friend that he has on the world stage. i wondered if she is in his interest for there to be peace and eastern ukraine. would maybe a low grade conflict work out better for? well, there's been an awful lot of kind of reading of the ruins about this recently about what does china really want in this conflict? and china is always insisted that it is huge role in this that it doesn't have any, any kind of stake in this conflict. and it simply, you know, believes in principles such as the sovereignty of nations and territorial integrity. and these are kind of like so technical diplomatic terms, but they basically mean to invade countries don't take away their church. so the
8:07 pm
one hand, china has been saying that. but on the other hand, they also say that they understand what they see is vladimir putin is reasons for this war. and pushing basically says, nato provoked me, nato is trying to expand further into the east. it wants to add ukraine as a member. so he feels that he's justified to attack because he's sort of stopping nato in his in she brings interest, been to provide the lethal weapons to russia that can be used in your career. yes. here we kind of take the question one step further. don't we? because, well, if she is a little bit torn on, you know, what's really a good outcome and you crate, you know, because obviously if you, if you believe in territorial integrity than it is really and know what to vladimir putin has done. but also he doesn't want necessarily vladimir putin to be rolled over by the west, by the west in supplies of military supplies to ukraine. he doesn't want vladimir
8:08 pm
putin to be defeated to have a collapse of russia on his doorstep. and to have a real friend in standing up to the united states, which is china's big obsession. standing that said that the question to merge, well, is china going to provide weapons or so far it hasn't done that in china has been wary about becoming a target for western sanctions. and i think an interesting factor here is that while china says, you know, it won't be bossed around by america about what it can or cannot do. it's also got an eye on europe. and the china is very important to try and keep europe and the united states as far apart from each other as possible and set in european capitals . they've been pretty pole by the massive rhetorical diplomatic and economic support that china has been giving to russia so far. but if, and it did cross that rubicon to stop providing big weapons to, to russia, that the europeans really have everything. yeah, it'll be interesting to see, and there's also the notion of shipping a global statesman now, you know,
8:09 pm
following that deal with saudi arabia and iran. richard, as always, thank you for the for an individual ministers of the european union have agreed on a 2000000000 euro plant to send desperately needed ammunition to you. great. now the deal will provide you with 1000000 artillery shells over the next year. funds are also intended to help each member states replenish their own immunization supplies, which have dwindled rapidly since the more in grade began my proposals. now i'm joined by our responded jack parent jackson to see you. can you tell us more about this disagreement, and how is it different from once we've seen before? well, it basically means that the european union, or at least 17 countries plus norway who's signed up to they still, can i go out into the market? i'm buy ammunitions collectively which has not been done from brussels controlled
8:10 pm
point before. obviously they give them purchasing power. it means that they can buy more in bulk and that also they can spread it between the different countries. more as you say, a 1000000 rounds of artillery will be going to ukraine by the end of this year in the next 12 months. sorry, according to the foreign policy chief of the european union, joseph bray, who, 9th, this, they're also going to have an 11000000000 for for munition this year. and they're going to spend a, another 1000000000 excuse me, on procurement in the future. it's really, really big shift in european union thinking the e was created as a piece project, and that is going on to the national markets and collectively buying weapons. and that speaks to the incredible significance of this doesn't it really does. it's a major shift in if you think he might not sign like that much of a, a big deal. but it shows
8:11 pm
a real turn in european union thinking here in brussels. we saw with the joint purchasing of coven 19 vaccines. we saw with the collective taking on of debt to try and come out of the coven 19 pandemic. and this is really a step on from that ny where there is a shift towards a collective i zation of responsibility for these kinds of things. there were many countries that were a little bit uncomfortable about it and that's why any 17 plus norway, not any member state, have signed up. the european union foreign policy chief said he hopes that more will sign up to this as their national procedures go forward. but it is a really significant step and one that the ukranian foreign minister dri, dimitri calibus, showed, says, showed that the european union has demonstrated its relative resolute leadership. once again for ukraine, they've been calling for weapons for a long time. this ammunition is going to be very welcome. the w's jack pair with the latest light from brussels. jack is always thinking right, let's take
8:12 pm
a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . russia's top investigative agency has opened a criminal case against the international criminal court. prosecutors who last week issued an arrest warrant for president while you're looking for war crimes. the agency accusing the court of violating russian law, including knowingly, accusing an innocent person of a crime. anti government protesters have clashed with security forces. in the canyon capital nairobi, hundreds of people demonstrated against president william router. they are accusing him of failing to bring down living costs since he took power back in september. the opposition leader, railer, or dingum, has called for weekly demonstrations despite the government rec down. mass portez had also gripped to south africa following calls from a left wing party for a national shut down the country's economic freedom fighters. parties demanding the resignation of president general rosara for what they say is economic mismanagement,
8:13 pm
violence sparked by protest in 2021. lead to more than $350.00 days. the devastating effective climate change is hitting the planet faster than expected that according to a panel of human climate scientists, which today published it's latest report, the intergovernmental panel on climate change as analyze the research on global warming and carbon levels. ever since the paras climate accord was reach you back in 2015 and they say that the data is clear. we need to act faster. extreme weather has been hitting us hard for decades now with catastrophic consequences. heat waves, droughts, storms, floods, melting, arctic ice. all this time, scientists and un experts have been calling to limit the speed of global warming. today, they are sending
8:14 pm
a familiar message. time is crucial. humanity is on thin ice and that ties his melting fust. as to liz 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 rights of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2000 years. concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their highest him at least 2000000 heres the climate time bomb is ticking. this is why rich countries are being asked to become climate neutral by 2040, which means they need to reach their c o 2 goals even faster than planned. germany was set to become climate neutral by 2045, but the country is lagging behind, especially in the areas of transportation and building renovations. what happens in the rest of the decade is extremely important. one problem is that
8:15 pm
a lot of money is still being spent on fossil fuel extraction and not on curbing climate change. the current amount needs to be increased by 3 to 600 percent. yet there is hope, the you and experts say we have the necessary scientific knowledge to limit climate change. the financial backing is also there, at least in theory, they just have to be used in the right place or from a climate crisis to weigh maybe political crisis in france. the government of french president, emanuel micron today merrily survived no confidence motions in parliament. the votes for triggered by opposition parties after the government pushed died. divisive pension reforms through parliament without a vote. post plan is $43.00 m a violet. the purchase across francis. yes. let's bring in our correspondence. now elise louise. she is in paris is good
8:16 pm
to see you lisa. so the votes were rejected. does this mean that mac, ron and his government are, are they safe now and is the retirement age going to go up? while the reform a technically is through with this vase, there are still some, some judicial means to stop it. for example, opposition party have announced that they would go to the constitutional court to stop the reform. and they also want to have a to hold a referendum, they need to get the go ahead from the constitution to constitutional court for that as well. politically speaking, when it comes to the government for tonight, i'd say the government is safe, but there are serious question marks over certain members of this current government. for example, the prime minister elizabeth born. he was at the forefront of defending this reform . it was her job to find the necessary majority to get a vote through parliament,
8:17 pm
and she didn't succeed. she didn't succeed for this major reform where she succeed in the future were this government will my casa, see to find majorities of the coming for years. that remains to be seen. and so what are we going to see moving forward here? i mean, this is not the end of, of the pro church on the streets isn't it's not, there are protests are going on right now. people have come together to demonstrate against what happened today, but also what happened at last week. obviously, more protests are in nouns for the coming days. there is a nationwide day of strikes planned for this thursday. they also strikes that are still on going and different sectors such as transport and waste collection in france, i believe the opponents to the reform have said that they wanted to continue the demonstrations and the strikes. and we don't know if that will have m m, i can't change his mind, but the pressure is mounting. it. i wondered,
8:18 pm
has he miscalculated public reaction to this? is he going to stick with these plans? he's reform playing in despite of this, this way. europe that we're seeing right now the the alleys a palace told me that a my, my car was determined to stick to the democratic processes. he said to see this reform 3, but i do think it's fair to say that he must have underestimated their reaction to using this special constitutional tool to get this reform through parliament without a final evade. and this is really a very, very surprising citation for everybody and, and people are up in arms against the reform. and in my, my court has said the reform is necessary to safe francis image on international markets. but it was a for him is also necessary to get the reform through that to show that he is a,
8:19 pm
an international leader leader, that statesman, that can impose reforms at home and play a role on an international level. but maybe, you know what's happening now is actually weakening. it's weakening, certainly as a much it in france and maybe also abroad. did abuse lisa louis and paris tonight. police as always, thank you. now across the border to switzerland. banking stalks roads this monday after switzerland's biggest bank you be us, reach to the old to take over its embattled rival, credit swift. these west government is preparing emergency measures to fast track the approval of the steel. there have been fears that the crisis could do stabilize the entire global financial system after the collapse of 2 banks in the united states last week. ah, the humbling end of the banking icon, the swiss government hastily forced through the takeover of credit suisse by rival
8:20 pm
u. v. s. at well below market value of switzerland is fearful that a failure to protect depositors could lead to a global banking crisis. the bankruptcy of a global systematically important bank would have cross 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 2nd largest bank had been in trouble for some time, suffering scoundrels, public legal battles, and mounting losses. these longstanding vulnerabilities were brought to the surface by the collapse of silicon valley bank and signature bank in the u. s. highlighting just how panicked investors are. there is hope that the financial problems were
8:21 pm
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 a like fear, a looming credit crunch. federal reserve bank. a donors conference led by the european union has pledged more than 7000000000 euros to support the victims of those earthquakes in turkey and syria. 1000000000 is expected to come from the european commission, helping to fund efforts in quake thought struck regions of turkey. turkeys
8:22 pm
president richard, type in a one today. welcome to the support, but also warned that the reconstruction costs from february's quakes could top a 100000000000 euros e u. leaders have also pledged more than a $100000000.00 euros in humanitarian assistance to effect areas in northern syria . over more now, i want to welcome louisa. anton from the united nations development program in turkey. she told me tonight from brussels. it's good to have you on the program. i'd sort of talk about the, the numbers 1st on the you ends of urgency, appeal for 1000000000 euros of aid for turkey. today we got a promises of 7000000000. would you consider that to be a success today? i think really it's, it's a good beginning is i would say in normal conditions, 7000000000 euros is a lot of money at that time where donor countries are very well strapped. they have
8:23 pm
been contributing to recovery and humanitarian needs. and ukraine and, and the other climate driven disasters around the world. but you and people as part of an assessment, supporting the government and working together with the world bank in the european union to assess the financial impact of the earthquakes in turkey. and our conclusion was that the, the damages, the financial impact was $103600000000.00. so when you compare the to the 7000000000 or the 6000000000 that's allocated to touch it, it starts to look a little less resulting. so i think we have to consider it good support, but really in beginning and the need will be there and there will be continued importance to have international solidarity towards the areas impacted by the earth . and i'm wondering how hard it is to get that solidarity of we've heard since these earthquakes took place, that this disaster, this humanitarian disaster,
8:24 pm
should not have happened in turkey um, after quakes in 1999, there was an earthquake tax that was started. the turkey was supposed to fund richard fitting buildings, making sure new buildings would be able do withstand earthquakes. and that apparently did not happen. and that has been a major part of reporting the story. has it made your job of convincing international donors to give money? has it made your job harder? well, i think it's compared to the, the scale and scope of the earthquakes. you know, there is an obvious need for a solitary support, but yes, there is also, i think, a concern on the part of the international community to see. so the principle that we articulate also from the side of the u. n. d p. this idea of go back better and . ready disaster risk reduction that we need to do all we can to prevent catastrophes like the dramatic these were really unprecedented strong earthquakes
8:25 pm
that happened in quick session along different fault lines. so it was, it was a, it was a natural event of dramatic proportions, but obviously the experts then say it's not earthquakes, that kill people is building that kill. and it's clear from the rest that have taken place in turkey and after the quakes and the investigations into some of the tactile or collapses, that there is a need to improve the zoning rules. the enforcement of building codes improving the extent to which engineers, but also those who regulate the construction industry, follow a scientific rules in determining what built where. so definitely i think donors need to see that kind of commitment to a bill back better approach and to ensure that any new construction is, is earthquake resistance. but also to then look into all the other areas in here that are, that are near full lines. and obviously there is
8:26 pm
a huge concern now about it stumble is a bullet as a population of well over 15000000 people. it has experience for, for history and, and now you know, both the members of the public, but also regulators and the local officials are very concerned to go back and look again at the structures that may have been approved for before construction or have given been given a green light for people who live in the that they may not be as sick as people might hope. louisa vincent from the united nations development program in turkey. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you very much. rodney. good news for finland again, it has been declared the world. so put your smile on the world's happiest country for the 6 year in a row. how they do that. the word happening is report exam of the happiness. yeah. between the top and the bottom half of countries populations and it says that
