ah ah ah ah, this is the w news life in china's president begins the 2nd day of talk send moscow jim pings promoting his piece plan for ukraine for the bottom of it, the visits a show of support. i mean, most powerful allies also on the program to brandon law makers to do to vote on legislation that would increase legal penalties for homosexuality. we'll hear from

an activist who fears he may have to leave the country for his own safety. and we read the iranian chest player, dad to compete without a headscarf forced to leave the country lives now in ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. china as usual, ping and rushes vladimir putin holding the 2nd talks in moscow. as the g, a highly publicized visit has been built by both sides of the display of the countries increasingly close ties. only today president g met with a russian prime minister on the college, austin. we said, today's talks between the president would focus on the development of population between russia and china to 2030, using paying and vladimir putin met for more than 5 hours on monday. discussions included china's piece for you. right now. he's in russian affairs and list is

really gone to ranko and i asked for his assessment of those talks. well, so far it's been a very symbolic visit because it's taking place more than a year since the russian invasion in ukraine with russia extremely isolated in the world, especially in the west. and just a few days after the decision of the national criminal court issuing an arrest warrant again, the russian president vladimir putting so it's a show of solidarity, which russia is which is very much needed in russia, and especially by president putin. both readers wrote articles and say nice words about each of those countries. and president putin writing in his essay in chinese newspaper using the words that russia and china are standing shoulder to shoulder as a rock and the chinese. the day she meeting largely approaching practically endorsed him for the presidential election next year,

saying that he expects the russian people to support him. whereas like netflix has yet announced, it has been announced if he's going to get 2024. so, and it was all smiles, you could see his face when he 1st met a she, when he under met on monday in the kremlin. so a lot of symbols and symbols with drugs needs very much at this moment because it is, it is under pressure by western sanctions. it is isolated in the right. we of course, that he in the west focus quite a lot on the significance of this meeting on the war in ukraine. but this meeting is about much more than just you crime. we haven't heard march or words. many votes from, from brazil, just to, to ukraine. so they, they were going to discuss it as we speak. now, we don't know what came of it. but of course, we expect some kind of a development on that stage. but for russia, it is much more than an ukraine,

as you've just said. of course, it is the partnership with china economic partnership that is helping russia to withstand western sanctions. the western companies, the left russia, are being replaced by chinese businesses. and this is a huge support for the russian economy. roger is a, using chinese currency, or russia is selling its oil and gas, the china. so after it's last, practically the european market. so you can say often enough how important china is for russia. so a roger would you need to see much more than she needs quoting. and you mentioned that the international criminal court arrest to warrant for vladimir putin and russia has responded with its own proceedings against the i c se. let's talk as to what's going on. well, it is not quite clear what's going on. i think it's just an attempt propagandistic

attempt by the russian government, by the russian authorities to show that they are doing something and they are not just taking what's going on. so they criticize the decision of the i see, of course, they say that it is not relevant for rational president putin. and now they are kind of retaliating by starting dose of investigations. again, the judges of the international criminal court. i don't think that will have any this will have any consequences. ok, thank you for the fans. i list a roman contractor. let's gather ukrainian. that view of those talks are correspondent, nick conley joins us from keith. welcome, nick. so we have the chinese president in moscow to act as a peacemaker in this war, but he's not going to you. great. i think phil, this comes as little surprise or there is going to be a consolation prize. a little phone call between zalinski and she, but no more than that. i think since the beginning of this war,

it's been very clear that china is no honest broker is not equidistant between the west and russia. in this, it has helped russia to get around sanctions get hold of western spare part has been buying huge volumes of russian energy at a big discount, helped russia to kind of deal with those western boycotts. and i think the major fear here in ukraine is that china will seeing how badly rushes doing fearful of a massive russian defeat here in ukraine. potentially even a change of regime in moscow to arranging that might be more western facing more friendly to the west. is now potentially going to supply russia with weapons on a larger scale and really helped keep rushes military, its capacity to produce weapons afloat. china is the only country that has that depth and that ability interoperability with the russian that we had lots of weapon systems that are basically soviet in origin. so that is a real worry here, and that's why they're keeping atmospherics friendly. they're not really quick selling china to opening because they're desperate to avoid that kind of full blown

support from china for russia. so no visit from the chinese president to ukraine, but a surprise visit from the japanese prime minister from yoga shita, who's in ukraine and today. and should we make anything of the timing love, see, there's been no speculation online about whether this was as scheduled to coincide with the chinese visit to moscow. i think there are lots of things. speaking against that, these visits often plan very far in advance security. logistics are very complex. obviously it would fit in narrative that china is trying to balance china. japan rather trying to balance chinese influences doing that a lot in asia. and now maybe here over ukraine. we've seen certainly japan upping its defense spending seriously since the being of this war here and ukraine in terms of what the china that the japanese delegation brings with it in terms of things you can offer ukraine. it is a lot more limited than what china offers russia. there is a lot of cooperation on energy helping ukraine to rebuild its energy systems after

those russian attacks. a lot of money has flown from japan to ukraine to rebuild. it is here around a key of but it isn't a country that is able to significantly om, ukraine, or providing weapons. ukraine's closely asking european and north american allies for i thanks for that said nick dw, correspond that nick conley and keith. let's take a closer look event at those non ukraine ties between the china and russia with date of these china least a cliff couldn't. who's here to look at the the sort of the business aspect visit. welcome cliff. so let's start with the economic background between these 2 countries, china and russia. well, if ever you wanted evidence of just how china has risen in the last 3 decades and how russia has kind of slipped. and over the same period, this visit really highlighted when german mazda dong went 2 months after the

foundation of the people's republic of china. in 1949, he went to russia for 2 months to see stalin and style and kept him waiting for 6 weeks for to get $300000000.00 which he needed. and he charged some interest in those days, which among socialist allies was, was unheard of am. so he's basically the situations that have been completely reversed or china is very much the dominant economic power is the 2nd biggest economy in the world. russia has slipped from being this great superpower. and it's still, obviously a military superpower, but in economic terms. now it's economies, but the 11th in the world make, which makes it smaller than italy, smaller than canada, smaller than south korea. so we've seen a complete role reversal. so am, that's basically the economic backdrop to this visit. and so how important are they to each other economically? well, it's very important because m, russia still hasn't raw materials that the china really needs. and as china has stopped, and as far as russia has stopped sending an oil and gas to,

to europe in quite the same amount that it was, office is still some trickling through m l. a lot of that has been taken up by, by the chinese. we've seen a 30 percent increase in oil imports, which is since in last, in the last year. and so it's very important ad, but it's really important for russia because it's, it's hoping that the impact of the sanctions that it's facing at can be somehow eased by, by chinese money coming in. they're going to be using chinese to replace the chinese un currency to replace the dollar. there's lots of different areas now, where am russia is really eager for china to step in and pick up the shortfall. and of course, that the west is keeping an eye on these meetings and that the hope that china does not supply russia with weapons. do you think that that is likely as well as i think ukraine in particular, is worried that they'll send ammunition am. there's been

a lot of reports and there's been a lot of reports of, of exports going in through the back door of things like drones. and it's, it's sam, it's still very, it's still a likelihood or a possibility. certainly am what i think a lot of people are looking at now is whether these are the goods that can be used . that can be weaponized and, but basically in many ways, even just having such strong economic ties. and by showing up the economy, you're kind of providing a you're providing support that will help pop up the military. and the chinese are also worried that if they do incur sanctions, they're already hurting because there are restrictions on microchips from the west . and so if they suddenly start incurring more sanctions that it could have a damaging effect on their economy. so it's a very delicate balancing act for the, for the chinese. and what, what lessons you think g shipping is taking from russia's war end, ukraine at which russia, of course says this is out that of course everyone's looking at

a china and taiwan. yeah, i mean for the, for, for china, it's been kind of a gift in many ways because it has no strategic interest particularly involved. so it's able to just sit back and watch what happens. and am they seeing how the west has, has imposed these sanctions and has been fairly unified in, in sticking to the sanctions. and they've also seen that there has been quite a strong respond response to add to the ukraine attack short obviously it has and it stopped short of, of things like jets fighter jets disturbing a lot of military supplies going in there. and that will make them certainly reconsider our, our may be altered their strategy when it comes to taiwan, how they'll change that struck ju course. we don't know. and it's still saying very firm, it wants taiwan back, but am, it's allowed china to take the lessons. i think from, from what it's seen, that's happened with russia and ukraine. i think that jack, cliff are china unlist activity unit. thank you. will a year of intense fighting in ukraine's taking a brutal psychological toll on

a military built largely of volunteers. many ukrainian soldiers have found help, but health centers to treat symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. one organization is offering something a little different. aust therapy where soldiers ride and spend time around horses for therapeutic effect. ah, riding out this stress of war, these ukrainian soldiers are taking a break from battle with horse therapy. when you know, put you municipal doorbell if it's a completely different atmosphere to the front line her from the contact with the animals to the split up. we talk about how a cells share our emotions with him, with our experiences. it's pretty cool to sit under recharges for the future when i'm labeled. oh, it's not just horses or cats and dogs offer

a comforting paw. the soldier is each choose an animal. they feel a connection to move to sure all they do this because we project our feelings on to the animal. and when we choose our animal, it reveals that there are certain characteristics in that animal already that we also see in our sal give easy and name. we like the therapeutic effects of these exercises help many of the soldiers to better deal with post traumatic stress disorder. lose to the when you come back here to civilian life and you are no longer on the front line number highs. you try to entertain yourself to keep yourself busy with the train. improve yourself to fernando so you're not while you're focused on these things. fillmore, the thought, some anxiety is about what you experienced out there on combat missions. he doesn't talk, she was much. jessica 9 am we was only, oh, it's all for is

a form of escape. if only to focus on or think about something else for a while, he was even in nashville, want to spend one on the bush. our work is focused on lowering their stress so that they can relax. and so that something else can enter their mind just built him in shima was there as 80. it causes a new perception of reality. in the new impressions and positive impression mirage in young. he would also your believe me were several center is are running various p t s d therapy sessions for so jase crucially during the war and not just after it a much needed escape for these soldiers who could be sent back to the front line at any time is looked at more stores making headlines around the world. china has issued a diplomatic complaint to berlin over the german education minister,

2 day trip to ty, why? but tina stock passing is the 1st german minister to make an official visit to the island in more than 25 years old. raising regards time was out of his territory. taiwan at present sighing when we'll stop over in the u. s. on route to central america at the end of march, china says it seriously. concerned by the plans, though not classed as an official visit. there are reports of peasants. i may meet us. how speaker kevin mccarthy. misha mish about israel's parliament is repealed 2005 you doing? what? in the evacuation of food, you settlements on to like west bank. the move by the country is far like governmental dish and could pay the way the jewish residents to return back to you gander, where the parliament is expected to vote to down a proposed law that would increase penalties, the homosexual acts to a maximum of 10 years in prison, these are already prohibited under colonial era laws,

but the latest proposal goes much further by criminalizing anyone who claims the gender identity other than what it describes as the binary categories of male and female, support in parliament appears to be strong. our b, uganda, parliament debates, new anti gay legislation under the proposals simply identifying as l g, b t plus, i mean that would be a crime. thank you for cut. the gay activist, eric and dula. the move comes as no surprise. of course this has been the environment that has been happening from petitions for very justly does even buffalo, feminine horns telling us that was the height is wrong, it's an abomination looking that it bill coming implemented was not in the exact phrase and allah has been rejected by his family

and has faced evictions and irresolute to being gay were wear rated by a mobile people who wanted to you know i tarzan, kill us. but when we called the police to our sisters, now we're that way instead arrested a subject to 1st and examinations. and at the end of the day would be comb suspects of kind of knowledge. again, is that one of nature, even though we called the police for support to help us when they moved that was going to reach us. the offer of the proposed law suggests the maximum punishment of up to 10 years imprisonment for homosexuals. he claims that this landmark bill has widespread support if you went to my constituents, we did him in his body and asked that people were the idea with him. you in this issue there were, did you, we are by no empty because we're me,

as was this much as goes. and this is one of the issues where i over directly to presented the voices of the, by the pleasant uganda already has laws criminalizing same sex acts dating back to british colonial rule. but according to human rights watch, the law would make you gander the only african country to criminalize, simply identifying as gay and do all essays that the new bill fuels hate in an already homophobic country on, feels out soon, his only choice maybe to leave uganda. that, of course, you know, as well as get more, i'll miss from joe mr. julius that madame way, who are and joins us from the guns and capital kampala, welcome julian. in that as, as i understand that you've gotten to already has laws prohibiting homosexuality. so why do lawmakers feel they need more and harsh laws in this area?

a new that's when it's time we've already had, but more than 50 as it goes. oh, the bill. and he told me that he has evidence of promotion sick choice. unscrewed children are, were ram, bobby, a few as sound up problem. bizarre van. apologies. so all that i will move on them are a radian, that chess player. as i say, rack had them has become a symbol of recent protest against the countries. strict religious dress laws shall pot in an international tournament in december without wearing a headscarf. now she lives in exile in spain. why? she's as a life has completely changed. a cheerful young family in picturesque setting,

somewhere in spain. but this coastal retreat isn't a holiday resort for sarah are to sheer and sam they're here because they cannot return to their home country. and iran, a warrant has been issued for sar, is arrest. i never wanted to leave completely like it happened well. and yeah, that is not what i was planning before. december 26, 2022. a tense silence grips the world blitz chest championship and kazakstan. sarah had m as another struggle on her mind. she's competing for iran without a head scarf in protests and solidarity with the demonstrators at home for me. oh, playing without this clarify something that i was thinking about, even before all this happened in, in iran, but after i got invited to the moment, i thought maybe it's the right time while still at the tournament, sorry, received a call from the iranian authorities. they demand that she publish

a video expressing regret for her actions and stating she was under pressure. after finishing the tournament, sorrow learns she faces imprisonment. she still feels her decision was the right one. when you are in front of the camera, you are representing the country and in those official ways we all was just wearing something to say that we are following the rules. but we never really believed in what was going on that for me. it was the same way, but you know, it doesn't really feel right to, to be sung one out of the camera and then to, to pre pretend like you're someone else. there's no taking back her bold move. the small family started a new life in spain without furniture or possessions. even sar is chessboard remains and iran most painful is the separation from her family. are they also under pressure sorrow? hopes not o orange of earth is mine. it's not there. so to be honest, not really of the only thing that i really care about is that i cannot go back

because as soon as i go back, i will get arrested at the airport. and what about sarah's chest career? she was recently invited to play a game with spanish prime minister pedro sanchez. sarah says, while her example contributes to change the demonstrators back home, took far greater risks. she hopes to play in chess tournaments again soon and reached the top 10 without wearing a headscarf and under the iranian flag. when the play areas playing under flag feathers and cannot really do something to take that flag away. but what they can do is that they can not put me in the national team. sorry, still feels she is part of iran, not just its chest team, though she and her family feel welcome in spain. they haven't lost hope of finding a way back home. un scientists are calling for urgent action on climate change, saying it's devastating effects are hitting the planet earlier than expected. the

intergovernmental panel on climate change issued a key report on monday, urging the world to take immediate steps to limit global warming. experts say that window of opportunity is closing, but stress that with a global effort, there is still time. extreme weather has been heating as 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 there pisces melting. fust there's 2, there's report of intergovernmental panel on climate change. i b, 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 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 per cent. 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 finally, a 2 year old, the u. s. president joe biden has shown that age is no barrier in politics. that's also been proven true in sports. 75 year old boy hobson has been appointed manager of english premier league football team, crystal palace until the end of the season. even the boss is the oldest coach and history of english top flight, previously managed to south london cycle 201720. 20 is reminder about top story. at this hour. chinese president julian pain russian president vladimir putin argued to begin a 2nd day of talks in moscow, less than she has been promoting his peace plan for crane. vladimir putin is using the visit as a show support of his most powerful i sent you up
