[000:00:00;00] a world never seen before, cried. now he dw documentary ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. china's president holds a 2nd day of talks and moscow. she didn't being says, china as prioritize. it cannot economic relations with russia. calling the 2

countries great neighboring powers. also coming off. nato secretary general, again starts back, says russia is the biggest ongoing threat to europe, security, and calls on allies to increase military spending to support ukraine. plus a harsh anti gay bill in uganda. go make, is there a do to vote on legislation that would increase penalties for homosexuality? gay activists now fear for their safety and football germany start a new era after the world cup of 6 new players. 5 could have played for other nations, but shows on the flick side. will the fans now also get on board? ah, i'm good. how else has well come to the program? china's she jumping and rushes vladimir putin holding

a 2nd day of talk. so moscow president, she's highly publicized visit, has been built by both sides as a display of the countries increasingly close ties. president she arrived at the kremlin with much pageantry. today's talks with president who are expected to focus on how the 2 countries can increase corporation on various issues, up to 2030, met for more than 4 hours on monday, where discussions included china piece plan for you quite a while. the summit are joined by our chief of the national i the to richard, walk in the studio, which it let's talk about the piece plan a bit later. we just heard a statement from put in and she, what can we make out from what they say? yes, so we've just had, each of them is a reading prepared remarks around this table where they've been holding talks on the 2nd day of their meeting. and some of what they had to say was, you know, pretty vague of generalizations. you know, she's in pain saying that, you know,

we want to strengthen coordination and cooperation. things like this is vladimir putin saying that he's had to sure is, is for, from the chinese side, the chinese business with stepping in russia will fill the gaps left by western countries. bailing out of russia, which is obviously happens, is the invasion to a great extent, but i think re specific on that. but, but on the subject of energy that was sent me, one thing that i think is interesting in a bit more specific. so black vladimir putin saying that they talked about a new natural gas pipeline. there's been a proposal between russia and china cool power of siberia to and this project has been proposed. we don't, we didn't hear anything so far that i've seen from the church, from, she's paying talking about this. but this is a big project that would be very important to russia, which would enable russia to, to, to said more of a natural gas to china. now, of course, when the war happened with the invasion, happened last year, the europeans, very, very quickly slammed the brakes on importing natural gas from russia. that was

a huge market for russia. so, so if russia does managed to kind of swivel a sort of pivot, a lot of it's gas exports to china through building a new pipeline like this. and that would be an important step for them. okay, so it will take time. yeah, i mean, you can just build a pipeline overnight, but if they do get that kind of confirmation, if that is something that emerges from this meeting, then that will certainly be seen by the russians as the wind. now the supposed peace plan from, from china for the war, new crime. what do we know about that? yeah, i think of course we have to be careful about what call is not really a piece plan. what, what the chinese calling it, which they came up with a few weeks ago as a 12 point piece of paper called a position paper, were sort of setting out, you know, this is the way we look at this conflict. and these are the things that we think need to happen for it to end now. and it was seen with quite a bit of skepticism in the west because a lot of it,

so tips towards the russian view of things. there are one or 2 bits of the west or so quite like in it, but overall of curiosity. where is china going with this is really serious with it is really not now he's a because he's now is there in russia and, and what we got last night was from the chinese. so i gotta read out what they call of the meetings that happened yesterday. that happened yesterday and said it, it said that president, she stressed that voice is for peace and rationality building around the world. and the most countries easing tensions that they support piece talks and they support adding fuel to the fire. so if you look at what these kind of things mean, essentially these are signals that everything, you know, she is series back trying to sort of, you know, sort of institute some talks process. but also there's a job at the west there because you know this thing, they're against adding fuel to the fire. well, from the chinese point of view,

what the west is doing by providing ukraine with weapons itself. they say that is adding fuel to the fire cause the west same response to that. ukraine has a, a right according to view and charge it to defend itself. we're doing is helping you do that. now the west has concerns about china's involvement in any kind of piece deal over you crying wise? well, i think what they're concerned about is, of course, these guys, these medic, we've seen the pageantry, everything going out there very close. so china is not some sort of neutral mediator here, and efforts that it might make to kind of bring about, you know, steps towards ending these conflicts. very likely to lead very much to russia's favor. and, but in particular, there's concern about what happens if china comes out either, you know, in moscow now or in the next few weeks and says, all right, we're calling for a cease fire. it's time for both sides to stop fighting with this may sound like

a good thing to many countries around the world think you'll end this disruption of this conflict. but the ukrainians, of course, they would say, were under what circumstances we don't want to cease fire when the russians are still occupying a massive proportion of our territory. so i think these are the sort of diplomatic dilemma is that the west slightly fear could emerge from, from, from these proposals from the chinese site. but we'll see what comes out in the next 24 as well. so if there is real movement in the chinese position here with the national as the ritual walker. thank you, richard. we're trying, as president children being has traveled to moscow, portray himself as a peace maker, but he's not going to ukraine or correspond with the con will it gave us the view from keith. what exactly. and i think that wasn't a surprise for the government here in key. if there is going to be a consolation prize of sort to call between the chinese leader and presents lensky . but it certainly bears no comparison to those days of intense towards the kind of

state visit pomp and ceremony of what's happening in moscow. right now. i think since the beginning of this conflict, it's been clear that china is not equidistant. china cannot play the role that turkey has tried to play, maybe the nightmare minutes of the kind of intermediary, the kind of a fair kind of negotiator with no kind of own interest in the game. certainly, china has been benefiting lot from buying very cheap russian energy since west stop buying it and has now been helping russia to get around western sanctions. i think the main hope here in care of is to try and maintain chinese support for russia at that present level and not allow it to grow. certainly, if china, through its full weight behind vladimir putin, maybe was fearful of a russian defeat here and ukraine, fearful of scenario, which may be a more pro western government came to power in russia after a defeat, if they really threw all their power behind russia, they could really make a huge difference to have a lot of weapons. they have huge factory that are able to churn out large numbers of the kinds of munitions that russian troops are very,

very low on right now. so right now the ukraine government is staying very politely, trying to do nothing to really provoke the chinese side and hoping that china keeps things as it is. now, she is in a mosque on japan's prime minister, who yogi shita is in ukraine today. on a surprise visit or what does that this timing or tell us was certainly there has been a fair amount of speculation that this is not a mistake that has happened hasn't happened by chance. i think though it is important to state that these visits take a lot of planning, arriving in a city at war as care of is that normally is something that is prepared, weeks and months in advance. but certainly, japan has been doing a lot trying counter, would it perceives as china's growing influence mainly in asia, but also now in other parts of the world. but these are really comparable, where china can provide huge resources to russia and really make a huge difference. there war effort, if they should choose to do. japan is helping in terms of rebuilding in sending me equipment for ukraine's energy system, but it isn't in

a position to really send weapons rating that would really make huge difference for loans. here in ukraine to dr. corresponded nick, commonly there in a key of thank you. nick b. u foreign, a defense ministers have on monday agreed on a 2000000000 euro plan to st. desperate. they needed ammunition to ukraine. the deal will provide ukraine with 1000000 artillery shells over the next year. keith has told its allies, it needs 92800000 artillery rounds per month to mount a successful counter offensive against the russian invasion. wealth walked through carefully carrying a wounded soldier for treatment. this converted coach serves as a mobile hospital near the front line. here the eastern ukraine, young doctor's like 23 year old and revolution, take care of the wounded in the moving bus until they can be brought to safety. he was previously stationed in back,

moot way was constantly confronted by death percentage. oh, bullets, bullets here. once a girl and every day because missouri at close phone, but the soldiers conditions suddenly deteriorates. andrei has to quickly check for internal bleeding. the young fight of lad says he had to cruel, wounded from many meters before he pulled out of the firing line. the situation at the front is critical. with short is of everything, including ammunition. when nicholas i'd beach. unfortunately, the russians have more artillery shells and more rockets. we can't afford to just fire in all directions like they can. the russians are hitting us everywhere. yeah, i want it, but also the craig not perfect, that i'm in drone footage from the ukrainian army back moot has become a zone of death. according to estimate,

the russians are currently firing tens of thousands of shells a day, the ukrainians under $10000.00. 0, you're with more ammunition, more artillery shelves, are it all needs to come from the west? if should have a good, but if ammunition isn't delivered or only arrives in small amounts, as you crime will still fight on, this would equal will look then for other supplies ve score we're old prepared to defend ourselves, to the end with stones, if necessary, a spine your which come ukraine's military is concerned that the you could be too slow in procuring and delivering much needed ammunition. alleged took a, went out, harness supporters with ammunition, then they'll save thousands of ukrainian lives you back on the bus. andree tends to the wounded and explains his fears for the future. somewhere. if we, ah,

let's russians capture box more. they will go. does in exigence. and this situation will be like repeats in repeats in. so it doesn't come to that. many in ukraine are hoping, heavy weapons and ammunition arrived from the you and others as soon as possible. meanwhile, and brussels, nato secretary general young stoughton back as also called on allies to agree more ambitious spending talk. it's to ensure continued support for ukraine. stoughton berg was presenting the alliances, annual reports, detaining key decisions on the war and ukraine. he described russia as europe's biggest, ongoing threats to security, alongside the threat of terrorism. present it was different. you're. this is democracy and freedom affects. and it's safe to control its neighbors. so even if the war crane ended tomorrow, along with a change for

a long term boot in sir evasion last year was a shock. but it was not as a cross. it was a combination of encounter aggressive ash. and in response, since versus illegal and exceptional from young in 2014, nate who has implement the largest enforcement or political defense in general may to achieve yancey stoughton, but they're speaking and he ws brussels bureau chief alexander from norman john maryland. and gave me her assessment of stoughton bucks speech. well, i think 2 things. first of all, the share of defense spending. and as you just mentioned, stoughton that called on members of the alliance to do more so far. only 7 of them are spending more than 2 percent of their g d, p on defense. and that actually what all of them have agreed to. they agreed to

reach this goal by 2024. and but said the problem is, so the max sat that they need to do more facing this difficult security situation. and he also said that there are pledges that they have made so far have to turn into cash into concrete military equipment. and the 2nd thing that he mentioned, he was asked about china and china support for russia. and he said that to nato so far has not seen any proof that china is providing lethal aid to russia. but he stressed that nato is a word that russia has made such request, and he said that his message to china is not to provide russia with weapons not to support an illegal war. we also stress in a croce of the security environment has changed for the long term. what does he

mean by that? well, that means that the war in ukraine, even though nato is not the warring party, there has also consequences for the alliance. not only for their support for ukraine, but also of course, for the situation on nato or eastern flank. and we have seen that the alliance has doubled its troops there, that they have established for additional battle groups there. and there are thinking about strengthening the air defense on its eastern, under an eastern flank, and also the want to be that per troops there in the future. now ukraine looks like it will. it will be getting some new fighter jets from nato members. did he mentioned that fact at all he was asked have all of their soviet era fighter jet stat, poland, an slovakia has promised to provide ukraine worth,

but he actually didn't answer that question, but we have to stress that we're talking here about the make 29 jad so, so that era jets that the equation, pilots know were they can operate there. them. they do not need additional training . the discussion about whether the west is willing to provide ukraine with modern western mate fighter jets, the american f sixteens. for instance. this discussion has still ongoing. there are no results regarding this question yet or has been an external phenomena there at nato headquarters in brussels. thank you. that several of not some of the other stories making headlines around the well to their china. there's issued a diplomatic complaint to berlin over the german education ministers to day trip to taiwan. it in a stock vaccine as the 1st german minister to make an official visit to the island

a maximum of 10 years. gay sex is already banned under laws from the colonial era. but the latest proposal goes much further. it also criminalizes, anyone who claims a gender identity other than male or 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. hook up for gay activist, eric and dula. the move comes as no surprise. of course this has been the environment that has been happening from politicians, phone in chesney. does even buffalo are fleming and horns telling us that when was the height is wrong? it's an abomination looking that a bill coming in parliamentary to was not in big surprise. and allah has been
