ah ah ah ah, this is the w y from berlin, china as president begins the 2nd day of talks in moscow, fusion paying is promoting his piece plan for you, cried the vladimir putin, that visit to show support from his most powerful ally, also on the program began to enroll, make is due to vote on legislation that would increase legal penalties for

homosexuality. we'll hear from an active if you may have to leave the country for jobs. and we meet the iranian chassis plat, dad, to compete without a headscarf, forced to leave the country. she now lives in ex ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. china's jim ping and rushes. the vladimir putin are holding a 2nd to have talks in moscow. president, she's high public science visit has been billed by both sides as the display of the countries increased increasingly close ties. early today i present g met with russian prime minister because you said today's talks between the presidents. we focus on the development of caution ration between russia and china. 30. she's in pe vladimir putin back for more than 5 hours on nice discussions included china

piece plan for you kind of an issue with the w. rush and affairs. the analyst is roman, gone to ranko. i asked for his assessment of those talks. well, so far it's been 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 that which is very much needed in russia. and especially by president putin. both leaders wrote articles and say nice words about each of those countries and president putin writing in his essay in chinese newspaper using the words, russia and china are standing shoulder to shoulder as a rock and the chinese, the day she meeting last, approaching, practically,

endorse 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, it was all smiles. you could see his face when he 1st met a she won't be under met on monday in the kremlin. so a lot of symptoms that and similarly with drug needs very much at this moment because it is, it is under pressure by western sanctions. right. is isolated in the right. and 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 to china. so after it's last, practically the european market. so you can say often enough how important china is for russia. so 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 see, say, let's talk through 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 tell the 18 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. the chinese, their presence is in moscow a partly to act as a peace maker in russia's war with ukraine. but he's not going to ukraine. a correspondent, the calmly in keith has more. but it 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 to fit your in ukraine. potentially even a change of regime in moscow to a regime 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 criticizing china to opening because they're desperate to avoid that kind of full

blown support from china for russia. so no visit from the are 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 bobsy, there's been low 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 significantly since to being of this war here in ukraine. in terms of what the, the japanese delegation brings with it in terms of things that can offer you crane 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, which is here around a key of but it isn't a country that is able to significantly om, ukraine, or providing weapons that you can call me asking european and north american allows for. i, thanks to nick a date of the correspond. nick conley and keith. let's take a closer look event at those non ukraine ties between china and russia with d. w. china hollister, cliff couldn't. who's here to look at the 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 dawn went 2 months after the foundation of the people's republic of china. in 1949. you went to russia for 2 months to cease darlin 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 and the world mate, 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 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 all the offices still some trickling through. 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? 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, 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 on, 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 be 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, 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 seen 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 response 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 maybe 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 m, 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, are china ellis to clifford coolant. thank you. will a year of intense fighting in ukraine has taken a brutal psychological toll on a military built largely of volunteers. and he ukrainian soldiers have found how but health centers that treat symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder. one

organization is offering something on a little different horse therapy. my 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 what you mean, yes. for noble 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 paul. the soldier is each choose an animal. they feel a connection to move to sure. oh,

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 kathy and the name we like. the therapeutic effects of these exercises help many of the soldiers to better deal with post traumatic stress disorder. at least to the when you come back here to civilian life and you are no longer on the front line, lumber highs. you try to entertain yourself to keep yourself busy with the train. improve yourself 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 at all because with a 9 am we was online. oh, it's all for is a form of escape. if only to focus on or think about something else for a while. he wasn't 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 looking in shambles. there is a fee, it causes a new perception of reality. and new impressions and positive impression mirage in young people else in your position. several centers are running various p t s d therapy sessions, facilitates 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, i look at some more stories of making headlines around the world. china has issued a diplomatic complaint to berlin of the german education ministers to day trip to taiwan tina stalk that singer is the 1st german minister to like a special visit to the island in more than 25 years. aging the goths,

taiwan. as part of aisd arbitrary ty, one's president and sang im when we'll stop over in the u. s. on route to central america at the end of march, china says it's usually concerned by the plan, though we're not classed as an official visit. there are reports that present sign base that may meet at u. s. house speaker, kevin coffee measurement, misha, batch rails probably just repeal the 2005 low order. the evacuation of jewish settlements on applied west back move by the country far right. government coalition could take away for jewish residents to retain. we are an independent review of london's metropolitan police service on it to be institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic. port recommends the prince largest was completely overhauled . you was commissioned after the 2021 murder and rape of a young woman by a service office. international multi focus was approved really

$3000000000.00 bailout australasia. the country was plunged into severe economic downturn after millions of cash reserves. i'm ethan comes after she bankers largest credited china, agreed to restructure it. seems that you gone through parliament is expected to vote today on a proposed law that would increase penalties for homosexual acts to a maximum of 10 years in prison. and these are already prohibited under colonial era laws, but the latest proposal goes much further by criminalizing anyone who claims agenda 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 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, phone, they just need as even buffalo finance phones telling us that was the height is wrong, it's and i'm a munition looking that a bill coming implemented was not in the accept phrase and allah has been rejected by his family and has faced evictions and a resolution to being gay were wear rated by a mob of people who wanted to you know, a tankless and kill us. but when we called the police to our sisters, now we're that way instead arrested are subject to 1st and examinations. and at the end of a day will be comb suspects of kind of knowledge. again, is that one of nature even though who called the police for support to help us from

him oak that was going to lead chest? 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 to and asked the people were the idea with me on this issue there were, did you, we are by no impact because for me as far as this much as goes and this is one of the issues where i would direct deleted, presented devices of the by the present. uganda already has laws criminalizing same sex acts dating back to british colonial rule. but according to human rights watch, the law would make uganda the only african country to criminalize, simply identifying as gay,

and do all essays that the new bill fuels hate in an old ready, homophobic country and feels out soon, his only choice maybe to leave you gander, little fussy, know what? on this day, 1960 anti apartheid campaigners in the south african township of charlotteville. l . the peaceful demonstration. but it quickly turned into a massacre when police opened fire and protested, killing 69 people. now this day, the 21st of march, marx a international day for the elimination of racism. countless people around the world continue to suffer the effect of racism. we talked to a male model, living a work in germany who says he's experienced repeated professional and personal discrimination because of a color scheme. alfred the comes from senegal. he now lives in hamburg, where he works as a model. he says he's experienced repeated discrimination because of the color of his skin. like when he wanted to go to a club with friends,

young mothers that need, they are. he said no, no go. that was brutal for me and we didn't even have a chance. and even if we did, it fell apart. when we had to show id cards. we had special id papers and they always said no decides or even formalism give isn't in mind. he's also had problems with prejudice in his modeling work. didn't slate of, of the um, lay them is sorry, but unfortunately we don't have clients for you in new york or you look great, but try new york. and i say, hey, i'm here in germany. i did my schooling here and i want to be successful here. customer went to mine, these were such blatant moments, realizing that they were limited to my career, me and my future because of my appearance, mostly for dia, sees this as racist exclusion. and he's not the only one. german society may be

diverse, but anyone with a different skin color or who wears 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 has a problem. those who belong to a minority are usually speaking from experience. it's i, the numbers 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 is just one of them offering psychological help. natalie does. it's always the case here. people are traumatized by racism. the taxi fun assist isn't. i'm different from the system there. traumatized by racial hostility on that

in turn, causes physical problems. in michigan, the people can't sleep and they are constantly afraid that men stand you get unset, aid worker, politicians, and scientists all agree racism is not an individual problem. but a structural problem, ian statistic of iranian chess player sarah, has become a symbol of recent protests against the country. strict religious dress laws. he took part in an international torment in december without wearing a headscarf. now she lives in exile. it isn't a holiday resort for sorrow, artist year and sam, they're here because they cannot return to their home country. in iran, a warrant has been issued for sar is arrest. i never wanted to leave completely like it happens now. and yes, that is what i was planning before. december 26,

2022. a tense silence scripts, the world blitz, chest championship and catholics. then sarah hud, him has another struggle on her mind. she's competing for iran without a head scarf in protest and solidarity with the demonstrators at home for me. oh, play without this clarify something that i was thinking about, even before all this happened in, in iran, but after i got invited to the parliament, 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. they, but you know, it doesn't really feel right to, to be sung one out of the camera and then to, to 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 player is playing under flag the feathers and cannot really do something to take that flag away. but what they can do is that they can of not put me in though national team. sorrow still feels she is part of iran, not just it's just team, though she and her family feel welcome in spain. they haven't lost hope of finding a way back home. finally, 8 year old year as president joe biden has shown that age is no barrier in politics while now that's also been proven in sport. 75 year old roy hudson has been appointed manager english v o t crystal palace until the end of the season. former england boss is the oldest coach in the history of the english top flight. previously, maddox, the south london side between 20172022. that's
