8:03 am
a harsh sanctions if it provides moscow with weapons for its war in ukraine. she in periods and are determined to craft a new world order. one that according to them, does not follow dictates from the world sole superpower released with. john, we are partners in comprehensive strategic cooperation. jerry, in this dance is that determines that there should be close ties between our countries. home reaching she and peyton 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 is an emission not lost on the koreans. dick saw that a little shaw throw the color of one dictator has found another on the project. lay attract each other. but it will not change much if they get support for the war
8:04 am
from childhood years care. when lisa's that on like a book out of the 3rd, the both rooms like some kind of game like they want to tease the western world of attack, my opinion or yes, dark sto, it'll, it won't ukrainian president the laudermill 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 is an interested in giving any ukrainian territory to putin, to lensky and she are expected to discuss the war on the phone in the coming days. short while ago i spoke with correspondent pub in crisper. in beijing. i asked him if present she's visit to moscow. is a piece mission or more a show of support for russia in its war against you? crime? well, i would say none of the 2 descriptions. he mentioned are really 100 percent accurate . i would not call this a piece mission because seating ping's 1st goal in my opinion, is, am to deepen taste with russia. am in a strategic way, but also economically,
8:05 am
a china once achieved our energy gas and oil from russia, et cetera. but at the same time sheeting ping is of course aware that he cannot overly antagonize to west. and if he does so, if he crosses her red line, then he would have to pay an economic price and fonts of sanctions. so i think and what he wants also is m to be seen as a yeah, constructor of head off state that can, you know and possibly saw this crisis. and we know from the 1st read out from yesterday that, you know, am 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 um, does not include a criticizing russia. it does not mention that russia should withdraw its troops. so i don't think it can be super successful. but i think the ambition is the end. a duck sheeting, pink does not want to openly show support for us as war this summer touch with she and putin is not exactly
8:06 am
a meeting of equals is no, definitely not. i mean, in terms of military made, you can argue that russia is still a world power, but in all other aspects, 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 g, d p is 10 times as big by now, then rushes. so our rush is really sliding very deep into a dependency on china. and of course, seating ping us aware of their development. what people in china saying about, she's a visit with putin fabia yet it's a very, i'm highly sensitive question. and i 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
8:07 am
a very, a complicated relationship. and especially if you drive to the border area between china and russia, you can see that, you know, those em historic atrocities are still quite very present. so i would say that's not really an organic li, grown friendship between those 2 people. but more like a political mandate to be friendly to each other. aviana. thank you very much from our correspondence, bobby, and crush mother in beijing. and joining us now for more on the she putin meeting is due political strategist, felina chuck, or rober. she joined us from vienna. welcome. willing, we've heard very little so far about these current talks between the russian and chinese leaders. what can we expect from their meetings? well, of course, the 1st aid it was dedicated to a platitude santa tall messaging car to show how strongest bond these this brahmas between seizure being and let me put in there has been the making over the last 10 years. obviously the head also close or talks of for round 4 and a half hours
8:08 am
a week. the translation soul to day, i think her is going to be the substance of further conversations. and at the core of her these conversation, sir, there will be actually about the deepening of fog bilateral relationship, encompassing or strategic domains from commodities, energy, agriculture, to obviously tray to come economic ties. and of course, to defense. technological corporation. up touching has been largely isolated on the global stage for his actions in ukraine. the international criminal court has now issued a warrant for his arrest. does she's visit show that vladimir putin is not so isolated after all of that is absolutely one of for the main goal. so yes indeed, to $48.00 countries around the world. her were, you know,
8:09 am
very much. she nestled the dairy to you, we to ukraine, and yet of course, you should not forget that the global south east, where currently 2 politics is taking place, you know, trying to win the hearts and minds. and russian rate is, were quite successful right from the beginning of russia's war against ukraine. they're so insane. so the messaging here is that by showing a very, very strong bone, ter, are they half a kind of accountant rate? if a for the relations with countries around the world to in latin american african asia . and i think that they also are projecting this kind of for understanding that yes, the world is now practically splitting to day are 2 main or 8 is the western one. and then there is all we're an, a rated fan. it's going to be a kind of ideological competition if you like, and of course not the same as during the cold war. but in
8:10 am
a sense we are already nikoto 2.0 scenario where there will be showing that they have actually are quite successful. our model alpha governance, sir, they project stability towards their own population. if you pay it, you can pay attention to what excision being said yesterday. he congratulated all saw up watching, nod dora the fact that he enjoy so popularity at home and that he's practically preparing for elections next year. this trip is highly symbolic for russia and china, you mentioned this broad strategic embrace. do you expect anything substantive though to come out of it with respect to the war in ukraine and not at all? i think that the whole are, you know, role of being a mediator isa. critical to china. bar is going to be play out at regional arena's think of the visit also of brazilian president next to on next week to
8:11 am
beaching. so, ah, yes, there is a diplomatic boost for china, but right now when it comes to the war, the child, you know, the treasury, so aging against ukraine, a china just a wants to presents itself as a rational player. and not so much. so actually for the sake of solving of the war or presenting a, you know, a piece plan that will be acceptable to bolt site. since we know that it very much reflect, sir, russian interests and tuition, ah narratives. but so much more to actually, um, have an exit plan or lets a plan b in the case that russia loses the war. but in thank you very much. that was geopolitical stroke is melina chuck, a rover. thank you very much sketch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world to day. german education minister bettina stock motzinger has arrived in taiwan on
8:12 am

8:14 am
. today, they are sending a familiar message. time is crucial. humanity is on thin ice and there pisces melting. fust. this to this report of ethan governmental 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
8:15 am
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. governance around the world say the transition to clean energy is being delayed because of high costs. we spoke to nina sager, climate finance experts and asked her whether financial limitations or holding government 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 plan. and we really do need to limit the warming to one
8:16 am
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 reductions of stopping to use fossil fuels, there are huge and they're actually all were much over than the what the mitigation will cost there to uganda where parliament is expected to vote today on a bill that would increase penalties for homosexuality to a maximum of 10 years in prison. same sex contacts are already prohibited in uganda under colonial era laws, but the proposed bill goes much further criminalizing anyone who claims

8:19 am
deliberately recruiting the vulnerable, including children into homosexuality. why are they in reading our scores? where did you reading the children? they're just being provocative. so you want to read that what you do and we look on you want to read 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 political gains or to dave at public attention from other pressing issues. darla sees that the new bill refuses hate, in an already homophobic country. if the situation was since he's only soft choice, may be to leave the country. journalist julius morgan. what has been following
8:20 am
this story? he joined just now from uganda. his capital come paula, julius homosexuality is already criminalized by existing laws in uganda, why do lawmakers they are feel it's necessary to crack down even harder? that very question has been widely debatable here in uganda. for the past few weeks, many people are questioning why this time because we have not recently seen public events, public gatherings of gay communities. we've not had a big sim 6 wedding. we've not heard the gay pride parade taking place. and some people are questioning, why are politicians coming at this time? i paused the same question before the the move of the bill. and he told me that actually the gay community has been recruiting children in the background. there
8:21 am
have been recruiting children in schools and he says, this is a proper justification to come up with a new legislation to come what he calls immoral activities. what is the situation like for day people in uganda today? i think it's important to appreciate the fact that many ugandans are publicly anti gay. you can as president, show him a 70 has previously described gay people as disgusting and when it comes to the religious front, religiously does maintain as they preach that homosexuality is ungodly. important to note that most to gun and i really just and they follow these teachings. this is what is taught in schools. it stoughton churches. and it's what is taught in communities. so many ugandans believe that homosexuality is immoral. so being gay is not on is a thing in uganda. what sexual orientation was also

8:25 am
german society may be diverse, but anyone with a different skin color or who whereas a headscarf is likely to experience racism sooner or later. that goes for berlin and the whole country. one researcher says that 90 percent of the respondents see racism in germany as a problem. those who belong to a minority are usually speaking from experience. it's i, the number speak for themselves. racism is not a marginal phenomenon, but one that affects society as a whole. schools, the police, labor and housing are some of the primary areas affected by racism. but help is available. there are dozens of resource centers in berlin alone that are publicly funded. reach out, it's just one of them offering psychological help. natalie stuff. it's always the case here. people are traumatized by racism. the taxi fun assist, isn't i'm griffin, from the system there,
