see the world ah, i'm ready. it's cried now t d w documentary with ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin to night, shine his leader on a visit to moscow. cheese in pe. he may be looking to promote his peace playing for ukraine, but for vladimir putin, the visit is a strong show of support from his most powerful ally. also coming up to life, a survival guide for humanity. 100 leading climate scientists. signing off on

a critical update on global warming with the data becomes a warning act now before it's too late. and a breakthrough in reproductive technology, a scientist in japan, create baby mice from 2 fathers couldn't lead to same sex couples having biological children together. we'll speak to one of the scientists about that ah, i'm burned. gov to our view was watching on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. they vowed a partnership without limits. these 2 gentlemen right here, that partnership between china, she's in peeing, and russia's. vladimir putin today has been on for display the is holding some 4

hours of informal talks as she begins a state visit. now he is the 1st world leader to be welcomed in moscow. says the international criminal court whilst we issued an arrest warrant for proven over alleged war crimes in you, great standing shoulder to shoulder. 2 authoritarian leaders defiantly pushed back against western values, nato and the united states for russia's president. she's a visit is a diplomatic qu, showing much needed international support. as moscow becomes increasingly isolated with social groups. 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 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 harsh 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 in stances that determines that there should be close ties between our countries. major way she and potent were expected to discuss beijing's 12 point piece plan, which calls for negotiations between moscow and keith. but it doesn't mention a withdrawal of russian troops from ukrainian territory. if an emission not lost on ukrainians. dick thought a little shaw,

rosy color one dictator has found another more particularly attract each other. but it will not change much if they get support for the war from china. a certain themes like some kind of game, like they want to tease the western world, but that's my opinion. yes, because ukrainian president followed amir zalinski has made it clear that no peace can be achieved as long as russian troops continue to occupy and attack 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 chief international editor, richard walker. richard, when we look at these 2 presidents, they're not standing on equal footing, and these are not a meeting of to equal member. we're talking about their power. no, 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 gray gene that to him obviously, that war has become an extremely difficult conflict for him. his last 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 consolidated nato is adding new members. so he's very much in a difficult spot. she ping china is really the only major friend that he

has on the world stage. when the decision is in his interest for there to be peace and eastern ukraine, would maybe a low grade would 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 that church. on the 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 main nice host 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 shipping's interest, been to provide the lethal weapons to russia that can be used in nuclear. yes. here we kind of take the question one step further, don't we? because, well, if she's in pain, is a little bit torn on, you know, what's really a good outcome and ukraine, you know, because of the c p, 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 and supplies of military supplies to ukraine. he doesn't want to let me pretend 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 big session standing down so that the question emerged, 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 will be tossed around by america about what it can and cannot do. it's also got an eye on europe. and for china, it's 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 pulled by the massive rhetorical diplomatic and economic support that china has been giving to russia so far. but if china did cross that, we were going to stop providing big weapons to russia, the europeans, who really have a rethink. yeah, it'll be interesting to see, and there's also the notion of shipping. it's almost a global statement now. you know, following that deal with saudi arabia and iran. bridget, as always,

thank you for it. and defense ministers of the european union have agreed on a 2000000000 euro player 2 cent desperately needed ammunition to ukraine. the deal will provide you with 1000000 artillery shells over the next year. funds are also intended to help you. member states replenish their own ammunition supplies which windows rapidly since the war began in ukraine. more than a year ago. a corresponding jack pair. he is in brussels earlier. he told me about what opportunities this new agreement is given. members of the european union. 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 point before. obviously that gives 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 you was created as a peace project, and that's 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 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 the collective i zation of responsibility for these kinds of things . there were many countries that were a little bit uncomfortable by to and that's why any 17 plus no way, not a new 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 ukrainian foreign minister dri, dimitri caliber 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. w's jack pair with the latest light from brussels. jack is always the let's take 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 international criminal court, prosecutors looping at that who issued last week and arrest warrant for president

vladimir putin for war crimes. the agency is accusing the court of violating russian war, including knowingly, accusing an innocent person of a crime. the government of french president emanuel micron has merely survived to no confidence motions in parliament. the boats were triggered by opposition parties and to the government pushed through divisive pension and retirement reforms without a vote in parliament. the proposed plan has sparked violent protest across institutions . a conference, a donor conference led by the european union has pledged more than 7000000000 euros to help the victims of earthquakes in turkey and northern syria in a virtual address turkish president. rich apply here to one. welcome to the support of the international community, but he warned the reconstruction cost from february's quaker could top a 100000000000 euros anti government protesters and clashed with security

forces. in the tinian capital nairobi, hundreds of people demonstrated against president william hunter. they're accusing him of failing to bring down living courses. he took power back in september. the opposition leader really aldinger has called for weekly demonstrations despite the government correctly. now the climate change the devastating effects of the climate crisis hitting the planet faster than expected. that is, according to a panel of you and climate scientists, which today published the latest report. the intergovernmental panel on climate change has analyzed the research on global warming and c o 2 levels ever since the paris climate accord was signed back in 2015. they say that the data is clear, we are running out of time faster than we thought. extreme weather has been heating

his heart for decades now with catastrophic consequences. heat waves, droughts, storms, floods, melting, arctic ice. all this time, scientists and human experts have been calling to limit the speed of global warming . today, they are sending a familiar message. time is crucial. humanity is on thin ice and that pisces melting fust. 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 rates 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 sticking. 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 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. and for more now i'm joined by nina zagan, director of the center for sustainable finance at cambridge university, focusing on climate change. it's good to have you on the program. i want the baby

play devil's advocate a little bit here with this. and we're, we are always reporting about climate change as we should. but it seems like what, what came out of this report is basically the same headline that we've had from previous reports. do we maybe run the danger of people turning us out? or we did. you know, sensitizing public to the dangers of climate change. i think we're not. and the attribution element of this report. so effectively, the unequivocal attribution of global warming to human actions is very important. and we're currently seeing quite a lot of pushback developing within this space in many, many parts of the globe. so this report is absolutely key because it leaves no doubt, not only that climate change is impacting our daily lives. but it is that it is caused by us and that we need to act today to address. we also are

hearing it seems more and more particularly in the, you know, the northern hemisphere from countries that we need to stick with fossil fuels a little bit longer. and we can't afford to go c o 2 free quite so your to neutral as quickly as we'd like. is it, is it really a matter of money? it's not we have enough money to and enough tools and enough knowledge to address this issue. we simply, if we are to stay within the safe operating space for ourselves and for our plan. and we really do need to limit the warming to one and a half degrees. and what that means is reducing and stop using all fossil fuels and rapidly increasing investment in renewable low carbon energy like wind and solar. today, what that means is cutting greenhouse gas emissions by nearly hall by 2030. and

it's not only about the money element, it's not only about the cost, actually, if you look at the health and the well being benefits about the pollution reduction of stopping to use fossil fuels. there are here and they're actually all over much over than the what the mitigation will cost is that being communicated because when we talk about the, the skyrocketing of the cost of health care, for example, you know, you never hear someone say, well, your premium is going up every month to be because of climate change because it's getting hotter every year. you, you don't hear that argument be made. should that argument be made? well, it's actually quite interesting because the i, p c. c is a making, this argument in one of their reports is looking at the health benefits of pollution reductions coming up, the decrease of the health cost. so it's not as if i think it's, it's, we are building a much better future,

much more renewable future. the one where our cities are green, are aware our health and well being is much better protected. yeah, it's, it's like you say the information is there has been published. maybe it's, it's a matter of, you know, leaders communicating what they know. we should know. nina zagan, director of the center for sustainable finance at cambridge university. we appreciate your time and your valuable insights and i thank you. and you'll find this in japan. they've taken a small and important step that raises the prospect of same sex couples one day having biological children together. and the technology was born using the skin cells of male lice to make female egg cells. but in the future, it could open up whole new possibilities in reproductive meadows an egg, sperm,

and time. the recipe for new life in most animals is simple and straightforward. but now, a team of japanese scientists claims to have pushed the boundaries of that paradigm by creating mouse babies with 2 biological fathers. to do so, the team took skin cells from male mice and reprogrammed them into water cold stem cells. those are cells that can turn into many different cell types. the scientists then identified the ones that had accidentally lost their y chromosome and managed to duplicate the x chromosome. in other words, they changed that genetic sex of the cells. a complex technique experts say the limit of male cells is you can make sperm but not eggs. typically the limit of female cells is you can make eggs but not sperm. what i all she has done through a process called sex conversion. he's taken x, y skin cells,

and then selected way to make x x eggs. so an extraordinary active of wizardry. biological wizardry. with those excels with unfertilized with sperm cells and implanted into a surrogate mouse. the result, healthy mouse pups from 2 biological fathers that were later able to reproduce themselves. the technology is promising, but still highly experimental. if the efficiency of this process is very, very low. so even in mice where you're essentially able to do an unlimited number of hurtles, ations the probability that any one of your in vitro generated eggs are sperm under these sex conversion conditions. this is probably only around one percent. so

obviously there's a lot of failure here despite that cat. so he co, hi, ashley research raises the prospect of male couples one day having biological children together. it could also benefit infertile. women who can't produce their own eggs. and at least theoretically, it could even allow single men to have children with themselves. so yet scientists agree that the technique is still years from any kind of application in humans. differences in genetics and reproductive biology between us and mice are major. and of course, society will 1st need to address ethical questions. arising from this technology is a lot to take in the w sites. reporters spoke to the head of the research team that carried out that study cut. so he go. hi yoshi, fellow scientists,

i calling a word nothing less than astounding and even biological wizard rate. so how did you come up with the idea and the 1st place? what made you start doing this kind of research? i was look the key to make the pop for me through that this is kind of confused because what, what i would be excited about this is that the, the india we could change actually the, the chromosome 6 come with them set in culture that the, the the, the, the exciting because we can get the premium, so from may or, or from explosive. so the, the most exciting stuff on the around one percent of the embryos made and transferred and your study survived. i do satisfied with that success rate. oh no, no. satisfy no, no, the success rate the,

the senior country at all. so we need to improve the efficiency on the one percent is much lourdes on the all side in beeble. so we need to define the character condition for the though we can get what a quality or so what fascinates and maybe scares researches and long professional delights is the potential transfer of the technology to humans. so which scientific hurdle needs to be cleared in order to do that one day very that to difficult point to operate in the human. so one is the species difference. so say this access 2 months are actually quite some, some different stuff from the milestone in the 2nd point is actually if it is more critical the, the, the time period. so the making of the sheer mom or side even the people takes much, much longer time than the mouth. so it is common that the, the,

the longer the cause of time ease dan the the time era helping many people my think the creating life from to mays or even just one person is scary. so which ethical boundaries do you see for your work? ok, making the pop from to that this can never help in natural nature. right . so even if you have us at the technology, i don't know, we really need to discuss, be careful about with this kind of take in order to should be used for the something that doesn't happen in nature. walk should be done in making technology more ition efficient. in more safety then the also a good enough to, to use so all of those our bus, then we,

how can i ask all the people to see whether the old can should be used on our walk to talk to professor hi she thank you very much. for the interview. thank you very much. thank you. all right, it's a reason to smile now. good news, particularly for finland again. the country has been declared the world's happiest country for the 6 year in a row. you see that finish right there for happy. the world happiness report examines the happiness. yeah, you know, between the top and the bottom half of the country's population, it says that people are happier in countries where they're different. that gap is smaller. in addition to finland, the other nordic countries, they are well represented with all what is it for in the top 10. so you can be close to the north pole and still be happy. before we go, here's

a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. chinese president, she's in pink, and the russian president vladimir potent have wrapped up their 1st day of talks and moscow. china's piece plan for the more in ukraine appears to have been the focus of discussion so far. we've put in saying that he is ready to discuss beijing's proposal. western leaders have largely dismissed the plan for beijing. and a new un report is morning time is running out to avert the worst effects of global warming. the latest data showing that emissions must be cut in half by the mid twenties, thirties to limit warming to the $1.00 degree celsius target. that was outlined in the paris climate agreed after a short break. i'll be back to take you through the district around. we will be right back with

me. ah ah ah, mobile luxury made in china the way coffee one this plugin hi is said to go. 150 kilometers on only one

charge. we put that to the test. and what else does it have to offer? read? in 60 minutes. oh d, w. oh. when you become a criminal pre climb aol already knows with hackers, paralyzing the tire societies. computers that i showed you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now. you 2 guys, it's avalanche. are my welcome to my podcast,

love matter by and by celebrities influences and experts to talk about all playing loud bags from day to day. nothing. less of all these things and more and then you know, season off the pot come, make sure to tune and wherever you get your pot path and join the conversation because you know it love matters lou. johnny's president, she's in being is in russia to visit his good friend, a russian president vladimir potent over dinner tonight. the 2 leaders reportedly discussed the board in ukraine and beijing's ideas on how to end it. but are these 2 leaders? are they really pushing for peace if it comes with a radical reorg.
