values. nato and the united states for russia's president, she's visit, is a dip. magic qu, showing much needed international support. as moscow becomes increasingly isolated, literally almost to 50 model deal, but it's vaguely 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, gigi and ping, it's a chance to play a global pacemaker. and to project china's power in the face of warnings from the united states, the message from the us is clear. beijing will endure harsh sanctions if it provides moscow with weapons for the war and 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 issue.

john, we are partners in comprehensive strategic cooperation, j. it in this data that determines that there should be close ties between our countries on reaching while she and potent were expected to discuss beijing's 12 point piece plan, which calls for negotiations between moscow and key. but it doesn't mention a withdrawal of russian troops from ukrainian territory. it's an emission not lost on ukrainians. big thought, a little shaw for or the color one dictator has found another a little bit ago. they attract to each other. but it will not change much if they get support for the war from childhood. the oscar wind leaves us that only could book out at the 3rd the. it seems like some kind of game, like they want to tease the western world of attack. my opinion was yesterday, though, the bullet ukrainian president for low demure zalinski has made it clear that no

peace can be achieved as long as russian troops continued to occupy and attack his country. and he isn't interested in giving any ukrainian territory to pollutant felon sky and she are expected to discuss the war on the phone in the coming days. spring in correspond it probably on crash for in beijing. i'm your is president. she's visit to moscow a piece mission or is it more a show of support for russia in its war against you? crime where i would say none of the 2 descriptions you mentioned are really 100 percent accurate. i would not call this a piece mission because seating pings, 1st goal in my opinion, is, am to deepen taste with russia. i'm in a strategic way, but also economically, a china, once a cheaper energy, gas and oil from russia, et cetera. but at the same time seating ping is of course aware that he cannot overly antagonize the west. and if he does so, if he crosses a red line,

then he will have to pay an economic price and fonts of sanction. so i think and what he wants also is m to be seen as a yeah, constructor of head of state that can, you know and possibly solve this crisis. and we know from the 1st read out from yesterday that you know, and he put the ukraine issue on the agenda and m, china probably wants to get a diplomatic gain from it. how successful he can be. i mean, i'm skeptical because china's official position is really m does not include a criticizing russia. it does not mention that russia should withdraw its troops. so am, i don't think it can be super successful, but i think the ambition is there and a duck shooting pink does not want to openly show support for russia's war this summit with she and putin is not exactly a meeting of equals is no, definitely not i mean, in terms of military might, you can argue that russia is still a world power. but in all other aspects m,

china is really much more advanced and developed technologically, but also economically in a really point out the economy. and because if you look at the g d p, then you know china, cdp is 10 times as big by now, then rushes. so our russia is really sliding very deep into what's a, a dependency on china. and of course, seating ping us aware of that development. what are people in china saying about, she's visit with putin fabia yet it's a very em highly sensitive question and especially online that the sends us i am, you know, stepping in and manipulating the public opinion. i would say, but yeah, definitely putting this quite popular within the chinese population. but at the same time, i'm a china and russia or beckoned the days china and the soviet union. they had a very am a complicated relationship. and especially if you drive to the border area, or between china and russia, you can see that, you know, those historic atrocities are still quite very present. so i would say they are not really an elk, any grown friendship between those 2 people. but more like

a political mandate to be friendly to each other. aviana. thank you very much for now. correspond fabi and crest further in beijing, un scientists are calling for urgent action on climate change saying it's devastating a factor hitting the planet earlier than expected. the inter governmental panel on climate change issued a key report on monday, urging the world to take immediate steps to limit global warming. the experts said the window of opportunity was closing, but stressed with a global effort. there was still time 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

a familiar message. time is crucial. humanity is on thin ice and their thighs. he's melting fast. the slaves 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 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 said 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. governments around the world say the transition to clean energy has been delayed because of high costs. we spoke to nina seger, a climate finance expert and asked her whether financial limitations are holding governments back. we have enough money to and enough tools and enough knowledge to address. this is shane we simply if we are to stay within the sake operating space for ourselves and for our planet. 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 ha, 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 huge and they're actually all were much over than the what the mitigation will cost sale. lucas from the other stories making headlines around the world today, the international monetary fund has approved nearly $3000000000.00 below for sri lanka. the country was plunged into a severe economic downturn after running out cash reserves. yamil move comes after, like is largest creditor,

but the proposed bill goes much further criminalizing anyone who claims a gender identity other than what it describes as the binary categories of male and female d. w, spoke to a gay rights activist in uganda, o uploads for you, can that be carl? parliament and her proposal for a strict law against homosexuality in now. oh i i, i for you going to and gay activist every kinda her re max ting. but you don't shook him. of course, this has been the environment that has been happening from politicians phone very justly. does even buffle off. i'm indian horns telling us that was the height is

we did him in his pilot and asked the deep whether dea, with me on this issue there were, did you, we are by no impact because for me as was this, what as consent, this is one of the issues where i would direct larry presented the voices of the by the pleasant fellow make accuses gaze of deliberately recruiting the vulnerable, including children, into homosexuality. why i did the reading scores? why did you reading the children there? i guess being provocative. so you want to read our children and we look on you want to be with our schools and we look on you can down really has laws criminalizing sim 6 acts getting back to british colonial rule. when similar legislation was timbered back in 2014, it was notified by courts on grounds that parliament did not follow procedure. some observers see that low make has could now be targeting almost sexuality for
