ah ah ah, this is the w slide from berlin, russia and china forged closer ties. economic corporation is the focus on day 2 of shin things talks with dr. me, of putin as the to lead us close ranks against the west at a meeting in moscow. also coming up nato secretary general. yes,

president she is highly publish publicized visit, has been built by both sides as a display of the countries increasingly close ties. president, she arrived at the kremlin, i'm at much pension free talks with putting, focused on how the 2 countries can increase cooperation of various issues up to 2030 day. meant for more than 4 hours on monday, where discussions included china piece plan for you as well. the summit achievement national editor, richard walker. richard, we just heard more from a booted angie. what can we make out from what? but yeah, so get hard so, so just in the last few minutes they have been speaking on live television, and i think let's pick out what i think the world is most focused on at the moment is, is the issue of ukraine. the fact that china has put together what it calls

a position paper on the ukraine war. so basically bringing itself in as a potential costing is how was the kind of piece making. so she, jim ping, it said the child china is for dialogue and piece that it is impartial. so making this point though, you're trying to see that it doesn't have any kind of stake in this of course, that scene with some skepticism in western capitals. given the optics of what we see here, this passion tree that the very obvious and demonstrative closeness of this relationship. but also saying that the proposal for the proposals to kind of come up with based on the un charter. so interesting that this is kind of, this is in line with diplomatic practice and from the west view that, that would mean, well, you and chart. it means you can invade the countries, you can take that territory. so we're going to be looking more closely with it

could be, but it depends. the chinese position has been also very tilted towards the russian point of view, even if they say that they're impartial. they essentially by rushes argument and support it that russia was invading ukraine, ostensibly, fighting back against the threat from nato towards russia. something that, of course, the, the west and ukraine see is a really hollow, almost ridiculous talk about the west. there were some voices of concern about this piece plan, so called peace plan. this proposal. yeah. a yeah. so from, from the western point of view, i think they're very concerned that what we've just been talking about, the china doesn't come to this is an impartial potentials of mediator, but rather as a friend of russia. and they are concerned particularly of china now sort of comes out, for instance, in the next few weeks off to, you know, she can ping has spoken more with putin,

maybe the things that if they come out and say we want to have a sci fi, um, what is the rest of the world make that well, many countries around the world, whether it's a killer, well, many countries around the world have seen, you know, full price of shooting up all the destruction of this war. they might think great a sci fi is stop fighting in ukraine. they think, wait a minute, under what circumstances the sci fi, we don't want this conflict just to kind of get frozen where russia can just say, ok, let's stop fighting now and, but we'll keep those bits of ukraine that we've just taken on. so i think the west is concerned here because it could end up in a kind of a diplomatic dilemma of how to communicate to the rest of the world, particularly the global south, which has been thinking the west has been so taken up with this conflict and it's affecting us and can't we just get back to normal life and where the west may find itself opposing a sci fi? and that becomes a communicative lea,

a difficult position to be optics about that particular case which of walk left even the national editor. thank you, richard. the town is present. she jan thing has traveled to moscow portray himself as a piece mag you have as we've just been discussing, but he is not going to ukraine. arg, responded nick connelly 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 present 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 an 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 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, hearing 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. they have a lot of weapons, they have huge factors that are able to churn out. large numbers of the kinds of musicians 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 moscow on japan's prime minister through yuki shita is in ukraine today on a surprise visit. what does that this timing tell us?

was certainly there has been a fair amount of speculation that this is not a mistake that happens and 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 seems as china is 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 equipment for ukraine's energy system. but it isn't in a position to really send weapons or anything that would really make a huge difference in the front lines here in ukraine. corresponded ne, commonly there in a key of thank you, nick. we use a foreign and defense ministers have on monday agreed on a 2000000000 euro plan to send desperately needed ammunition to ukraine. the deal

will provide ukraine with 1000000 artillery shells over the next year. keith has told us allies, it needs 92800000 artillery rounds per month to month, a successful counter offensive against the russian invasion wealth work very carefully carrying a wounded soldier for treatment. this converted coach serves as a mobile hospital near the front line here in 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. but he was previously stationed in back moot way was constantly confronted by death percentage. oh, bullets, bullets here once our gerlene everyday because missouri at close phone, but the soldiers condition suddenly deteriorates. andry has to quickly check for

internal bleeding. the young fight of lad says he had to cruel, wounded for many meters before he could be pulled out of the firing line. the situation at the front is critical. with a short is of everything, including ammunition. when nicholas i'd beach. unfortunately, the russians have more artillery shells and more rockets, yet we can't afford to just fire in all directions like they can. the russians are hitting us everywhere. you know, a little of the great, if not perfect for i'm in drone footage from the ukrainian army back moot has become a zone of death. according to estimates the russians are currently firing tens of thousands of shells a day, the ukrainians under $10000.00. with more ammunition, more artillery shells, it all needs to come from the west. if should have a good or if ammunition isn't delivered or any arrives in small amounts,

as you crime will still fight on this. um would equal will look then for other supplies ve score we're all prepared to defend ourselves to the end with stones, if necessary. will spine your which come nam, ukraine's military is concerned that the you could be too slow in procuring and delivering much needed ammunition a little. but when our partner 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. if we, ah, let's russians capture box more, they will go to the next cities. and this situation will, we 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.

marlon brussels nato secretary general ian stoba has also called on allies to agree on more ambitious spending targets to ensure continues. aud for ukraine. sultan back was presenting the alliances annual report. he telling he decisions on the war and ukraine. he described russia as europe's biggest, ongoing threat to security. alongside the threat of terrorism. president putin wants different europe. he sees democracy and freedom as effects and he seeks to control its neighbors. so even if the war in ukraine and the to morrow, the secure environment has changed for a long term per thin sir. innovation last year was a shock. but it was not a surprise. it was the culmination of a patent of aggressive action. and in response, since russia's illegal annexation crimea in 2014,

nate to has implemented largest to enforcement or collect the fence in the generation nitrogen stock. mike, speaking that anti w's, brussels bureau chief, alec, some of phenomena has johnny early up, and she gave me her assessment of stoughton book speech. well, i think 2 things. first of all, the issue of defense spending and as you just mention, stoughton, that called on members of the alliance to do more so far on the 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 mac 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 nato so far has not seen any prove that china is providing lethal 8 to russia. but he threats to that nature 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. he also threaten a courtier. 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 lions, not only for their support for ukraine, but also of course for the situation on nate or eastern flank. and so 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 about the 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? jad stat 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 example from nama, there at nato headquarters in brussels. thank you. sonata, of look at some of the other stories making headlines around the well to day. china as issued a diplomatic complaint to berlin, know the german education ministers to day trip to taiwan. but he now shock motzinger is the 1st german minister to make an official visit to the island more than 25 years. beijing regards taiwan as part of its territory. lisa lab site, the towns president, sy, in when we'll stop over in the us on route to central america. the end of march. china says it seriously. concerned by the plants, though not class, as an official visit with their reports that president sy may meet us. how speak up

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 petitions, phone destiny, does even buffalo, our finance phones, telling us that when was the height is wrong, it's an abomination looking at it. bill coming in parliament, it was not, and they accept praise. and allah has been rejected by his family and has faced evictions. and a resolution to being gay were well rated by a mob of people who wanted to, you know, atlas van 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 would be comb suspects of kind of knowledge,

agonies that would of nature even though we called the police for support to help us from involved that was going to the 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 ask that people were that the a with him you in this issue there were did you we are by know, impede because for me as far as this much as goes and this is one of the issues where i would direct delayed it 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 into all essays that the new bill fuels hate in an already homophobic country and feels that soon his only choice maybe to lead uganda. that of course, you know, i'll journalist julius imogen block and tell us a more about that. he joins us from the, again, a capital come ala. now, uganda already has laws prohibiting homer sexuality while lawmakers feel the need more and harsh laws. that is the same question that observes and critics have been asking because in the past, in the recent past we've no todd may be, be gay. parade's may be big sim, 6 marriages or big public events by the gay community. and some critics are asking why, at this point, i asked the same question before the move out of the bill. he told me that actually

the gay community has been recruiting children. they have been recruiting children in schools. he alleges, and he thinks that this is the right time to rein on them and talk what caused new morality? give me an idea about the support this bill would have in the general population. it's important to fuss. appreciate what you got the looks like when it comes to same sex unions. you gannons are widely anti gave and they publicly talk about this president george, him. a 70 has himself described them as disgusting. now, when he comes also to the religious fraud, religiously does keep preaching that homosexuality is ungodly. now this is what the people believe, and this is what the teachings cause. this is what they teach in communities being gazed not and is a thing in uganda. now i couldn't say that the lawmakers now use this to divert

attention away from other issues. is that the case and what are these other issues? yes, some people have come upon said, okay, you got bass going through a lot, especially emerging from, from, from the pandemic. they are no jobs, their price is the cost of living is going up, and they have been st. condos that i am please catching lee does in corruptions kind of saw. some people think that the politicians might have motives behind what they're presenting day and that they are only using the homosexuality topic. morality as a cover of other public pressing issues. now, the international criticism of uganda's, anti gay legislation is intense. how do you, grand, and politicians react to that outside criticism? i would say that you go, that's parliament is not really blind or deaf to its relationships outside the

country. and 1st of all, being that uganda has a precedent. this is not the 1st time they are coming up with the legislation like this, and perhaps this is not their 1st time that the international community is also reacting. i asked them of, of the build the same question. he told me that no matter what the rest of the world thinks, and this was the basis of the debate to this afternoon in parliament. many members of parliament believed that whereas the international community might think the other way around your gardens remain solid and what they think that homosexuality is immoral in the country and delete that said, if you want to appreciate what you go into is the international community must follow what you're gonna believes, julius will come with that and compiler, uganda, thank you very much julius. i have some more headlines for you now. independent review of london metropolitan police service as founded to be
