ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin, china and russia wrap up their summit in moscow. she jane paying is on his way home after completing a 3 day visit. he and vladimir putin hale, a new era in bilateral ties, further closing ranks against the west. also coming up with a powerful earthquake raffles. large parts about began to stand in pakistan,

killing at least a dozen people enforcing many to flee, plus the human cost of last month. deadly ship wreck in italy. hard questions over the uses side and policy. after dozens of migrants drown just a few 100 meters from shore. and can scientists bring the dodo bird back from extinction? the last doze walked the earth hundreds of years ago before human exploitation killed them all. now a biotech firm wants to d extinct the dodo in what could be a mobile for public last species. ah. hello m terry martin, good heavy with us. chinese president, she jin ping has departed moscow after wrapping up talks with russian president vladimir putin. during the summer, the 2 leaders signed

a deal to expand bilateral trade and energy cooperation. their strengthening of ties is widely seen as a show of unity against the west. china has also put forth proposals for ending the war in ukraine, but there is no sign of a breakthrough trying to put on the most reassuring smiles. chinese president, she didn't ping and as russian counterpart flooding mere putin pledge to straighten ties, putin increasingly isolated by the west for his invasion of ukraine is forced to turn east for friendly handshake fall so clever on the issue of the ukrainian crisis. china has always adhered to the purpose and principles of the united nations charter, adhered to an objective and impartial position, and actively promoted peace and negotiations. gigi charles law talk how beatings, refusal to condemn the war on ukraine has been the driving force of this friendship

to instead, she has proposed a so called peace plan could be handing his counterpart, the opportunity to blame the west and ukraine. ammonia is full as really we believe that many of the provisions in the piece plan put forward by china. she is a consistent with russian approaches of flow and could be taken as the basis for a peaceful settlement when they are ready for it in the west. and in give an however, so far we've not seen such readiness on their part that we got to in this do, sir, externally meeting in the blue do for putin and alliance. but she also offers a chance to close the gap left by the withdrawal of western firms from russia following its war on ukraine concept. well, in the community, we are ready to support chinese businesses. so say, when it comes to replacing the production of the western enterprises that have left

russia, dusting in numbers, new deals on energy and trade. the autocratic duel promise a new era of partnership. one, where china sees itself as a peace broker for russia and ukraine. so the russian and chinese leaders have promised to further prioritize their strategic partnership. earlier i spoke about this with an her beauty copper, a green member of the european parliament who sits on the foreign affairs committee . i asked him how far this sino russian partnership might go. oh, think we must be aware of bad gold to go far with that partnership. because that's not as she couldn't being said in moscow, that's not just about the bilateral relationship. he said this partnership should be vitally important for what he calls a modern world. busy order,

so the signaling from this moscow with miss ed went far beyond supporting put in on his war in ukraine beyond demonstrating that now nobody should be bothered to pay attention to international law. busy at the criminal court, nobody should really be bothered that today is a warped criminal. she can thing and put in our building a new hedge, a monic order, where they want they intent to dominate globally. that's what this was all about. are you worried mr. bitty cover that china will more actively support rushes, war in ukraine with weapons or military equipment. for example, jana is already support included in politically, economically and they have provided as far as we know, small amounts of arms that make any difference militarily,

but earth symbolically. they have signaled whenever we've intend to do that, we would. now i don't think that in the immediate future, this would happen on a large scale. but in case that poo 10 might suffer additional defeats and ukraine. i would not exclude that. what do you make of china's 12 point position paper on the war in ukraine? some have dubbed it beijing's piece plan. is there anything in that plan that you think is worth following up on i think and be that we should study that plan or that that position paper. that's what they call it. that we should study that very odd. a deeply because it clearly points

out a central contradiction in china, some position on the future of international relations. because in the 1st point of the paper, it says that the national sovereignty and territorial integrity should be the principles on which um, policies are built. but then later in the paper, it clearly or also stipulates that or is the so called security interest of russia also have to be a taken account of and basically what that tells us is the following. if you are a smaller country and you are the more powerful neighbor than you are sovereignty and territorial integrity, as to come with the rebate to your more powerful authoritarian neighbor, that's the principle on which china is trying to build a beijing centric new world order. you mentioned earlier that you suspect china and

russia of trying to build a hedge in money on the what's the use position with respect to china in its relationship to russia? do you think that you should be doing more to try to, to push china away from russia the you, the, you does have a lot of leverage when it comes to trade. for example, i believe that this relationship between the 210 and she didn't ping is build on the strategic goal all's or their own that. busy goes beyond just being a stakeholder, a in the i the present, the nation, sir, i remember to cover, we're going to have to leave it there. ah, thank you very much for talking with us. that was line hot beauty copa from the european parliament sitting on the for foreign affairs committee. thank you very much. it's catch up on some of the stories making headlines around the world to day

. prosecutors in the u. s. state of virginia have released footage which shows the death of a patient in a metal hospital ego. 010. no. a black man died earlier this month after several officers and hospital staff pinned him to the ground. 10 of them had been charged in connection with the killing french protesters have taken to the streets again in anger, over the pension reforms ran through by president manuel mac home. the deeply unpopular changes have lifted the retirement age by 2 years. despite the fury, the government shows no sign of relenting after narrowly surviving to confidence votes in parliament. the un is calling for hugh urgent humanitarian assistance in malawi in the aftermath of cyclone freddie. the deadly storm hit southern african last week, killing almost 500 people. and displacing half a 1000000 more local authority, say the cyclone has worsened in

a deadly cholera outbreak which could push the death toll above a 1000. the strong earthquake has shaken large parts of northern afghanistan and pakistan, killing at least 12 people and injuring many more. the epicenter was in afghanistan mountainous burbock sean province. but the 6.5 magnitude quake was powerful enough to send people fleeing for safety. hundreds of kilometers away. ah, rattling and shaking as the quake went down here and the pakistani make a city of la hole. the tremors sent residence running out of buildings for the safety of the streets. hundreds of kilometers away in islamabad. shoppers also scrambled for the exits of the shopping center. the intensity was too high in effect like something is shaking very rapidly and the

sound of reckless, still haunting my ears right now. pakistani officials ordered people to evacuate after cracks appeared in several high rises, while death reported in more remote areas. across the afghan border and closer to the quakes epicenter and kabul residence would jolted from their homes as well. as the damage had the choice, it was a very strong earthquake, and every one came running out to wash. i think everyone was hoping that you had quake in turkey wouldn't happen here. and couple radical people horrified and skid . so much as the letter that we have surpassed. but while buildings here remained standing, it's not yet clear how the remote mountain is villages close to the quake center may have fed. the debate over migration and the european union is heating up again after last month's deadly shipwrecked in southern italy. while an

80 people are known to have died after a boat carrying migrants and asylum seekers broke apart a few 100 meters from shore. or reporter rosie bare chart visited the scene of the disaster near katona, where the search for victims and 4 answers continued. ah, weeks after calamity struck the coast of calabria, strong wind spray more bodies near shore. divers carry the remains to the coroner. a little girl is among the dead. haseb survived, he tells us he left afghanistan because his life was in danger. but more peril, lay ahead. whether got you was about a month. if the goods left i will never forget that day in all my life. it was he conditions were even worse than they are now as he got on. but i thank god that i received, and i am alive with lot of good baltimore. although on was the owner of the world. although i was able to save myself by groping and holding on to a piece of root from the ship. thus them with the earth over us cuz she bought all

my life in the sand. objects outlived their owners. the shore here is still strewn with destroyed clothing, shoes, and even parts of the boat, so many hoped would carry them to a safer or a better life. instead, dozens droned before ever reaching italy and now what's left, are these broken bits and pieces of lives lost down the coast? we meet fishermen vincenzo. after witnessing the wreck, he's been advising search teams on the waters. he knows well, but his nets no lie empty. and his boat hasn't budged from dry land. when you'll land, i cannot go back out to sea. i can't handle it. images and those dead bodies keep coming to my mind and i can't bring myself to cost on my fishing mess. i just can't insure thought some say this tragedy was old to predictable. local volunteer

francesca spends her evening serving up food to undocumented migrants and people in neat. she thinks the shipwreck shed light on failed policy. and a lack of legal pathways into the european union will go by law built by law. the government really needs to get better at welcoming migrants, quesada did on the immigration as a positive thing mythical. now they say they need to move a couple down migration flows instead of helping people arise, thought ada. gotcha, benita. in the cold light of day, italy's government says its conscience is clear. rome is forging ahead with controversial plans to restrict rescue ships operated by non profit groups. authorities here blaine's smugglers for deaths at sea and insist more e you support is needed. westhal problema vivia soldier. while this problem must at least become european problem that the others, all italy alone cannot bear all of this thought. took it. it's true. italy lends

itself more than other nations to vote arrivals on it. but it's clear that all these people do not want to say that lee was they want to move to other countries like germany. well, yours will, does to, the injured body. hussy has come to this, make shift morgue in the local sports hole to pay his respects. his future remains uncertain, but he says he's lucky just to have one. calabria wants to draw a line in the sand under this catastrophe, but more migrant boats have already arrived since the wreck, and some fear that before long these waves may once again carry death and destruction to shore. earlier i spoke to d w as rosie bare chart who filed that report, i asked her of the tragedy near katona has hardened the eas stance. on migration. these tragedies often do serve to move migration and asylum policy up the agenda in

the european union. and i used the word disasters plural, because despite the fact that this particular tragedy near cretan in italy was shocking, there was one of the deadliest in the last decade. this is not the 1st disaster of its kind and prime minister, georgia maloney of italy from the party. the brothers of italy often considered far right. let's not forget that she was elected on a promise to clump down on these irregular vote arrivals. note she is pushing forward with a couple of policies since this particular tragedy. she is planning to tighten sentences for people smugglers, people who are essentially transporting migrants in asylum seekers on these klondike stine boats. she says they are essentially trading in death and profiting from misery and beyond that prime minister george maloney is also looking into policies considered very controversial to restrict the activities of search to

rescue teams run by non profit groups at see. she says those groups are essentially encouraging people to make these perilous journeys. know that particular policy has been widely criticized, not least by the u. n but prime minister maloney of italy is also looking to brussels here in brussels and saying more european union support coordination is needed. the e u commissioner, responsible for migration says the problem of uncontrolled migration and tragedies like that author call strip off the coast. gra, tony can only be solved by creating what she calls legal migration routes to europe . what does she mean by that rosy? well, i think what we need to know is the knob of this issue. here is the current policy for migration and asylum in europe under which people have to claim asylum in the 1st country they arrive in. and that does put a lot of pressure on external border. countries like italy, but also grease or cypress. they say a more fair system needs to be put in place for different countries. also taking

a share of the migrants and asylum seekers which are arriving on the european union's shores. but it's within that context, which is i should say, toxic political debate on which you countries have not so far managed to agree any sort of path forward against that context. that the european home affairs commissioner over your hanson is saying that really the of the bigger crux of this issue is that people will not stop getting on these boats, risking lives in order to enter the european union until there are ways to enter the european union legally more work permits, easier to residents permits and that's something she's also pushing for rosie. thank you very much. that was our correspond, rosie burchard, there in brussels. and here's look at a couple of other news stories today. uganda is parliament has approved a bill which if signed a law imposes a punishment of up to 10 years in prison for identifying as l g. b t q. plus. the

legislation needs to be signed into law by president. you're wearing a 70 in 2014, another anti homosexuality bill approved by m p. 's and the president was blocked by the constitutional court. on a technicality, i requested thousands of kurds have taken to the streets in jan doris in northern syria to protest the killing of 4 men during kurdish new year celebrations. the killing hers rekindled tensions between kurdish residents and the turkish back arm groups that control the area. there is the saying, you may be familiar with dead as a dough, meaning something that is gone forever and can't be brought back. it refers to the bird species, humans made extinct hundreds of years ago. but now a biotech startup has announced it wants to bring the dodo back to life. the groundbreaking attempt will face complex, scientific,

and ethical issues. native only to maricia is dodo is we're flightless. but fearless birds well adapted to life on an island in the middle of the indian ocean . but after a european ships arrived in the 16th century, bringing a range of predators, the dose fearlessness led to them being hunted and slaughtered wholesale. within decades they were wiped out. could they be brought back principal challenges. what is the definition of success, how you know, how like the extinct animal will you actually end up with him and will that do what you want it to do? i have to say that i think it is, i'm skeptical that anyone will be able to d extinct any animals, dodo or passenger pigeon. or mammoth scientists from a company called colossal bio sciences, are working on bringing back the dodo along with 2 other species. the woolly mammoth and the thigh lesaine or tasmanian tiger. but the technical challenges in

the field remain immense. but the major technical challenges to be solved is actually working out how many different mutations in an organism may depend on each other. so you may want to change one gene, one, it will mutation to give one phenotype, and it may work straight away, but alternatively then maybe a load of other unseen things you have to change in concept. i think a big challenge is just going to be that there are many places in the genome that you're not able to resolve. you're not able to figure out what the dodo genome looked like in that position and for d extinction. i think this is a big problem because we simply don't know what most of the genome does, even in modern humans, even in ourselves. and even if they succeed, where will d extinct and species go? the eco system on maricia, for instance, has changed dramatically in the past 350 years. could functional dot's be released into the wild there, or would they have to remain protected in zoos?

we need to actually do some work to make sure that we've got the happy dotted need some funding to come in for these habitat restoration and folded latest technologies to come in. and i would say, we are not ready to do it tomorrow, but we may be ready to do it in the next 510 or 15. yes. but a lot of scientific hurdles remained to be cleared before an animal resembling a dodo sees the light of day. more on this fascinating story. here with me in the studio, we've got derek williams from d. w signs. derek, bringing the dodo back from extinction. other animals to this, all sounds very jurassic park is likely to happen. well it kind of maybe, hopefully i think it's really, really, really cool science, but there are a huge number of technical challenges and scientific challenges to overcome just

stuff that we just don't know. one of the biggest involves the dna of the inside of you inside of me inside of every living, a living organism. it begins to degrade at the moment of death. and so in order to create a real clone and intact clone of the dodo, for example, of a man as we would need viable intact d n a. and we don't have that because the species died hundreds if not thousands of years ago. and so what we have to do is we have to reconstruct what we have based on ancient dna. so remnants of the dna after it's falling apart and that leaves a lot of gap. so. so that's one big problem. it's very easy. it is very iffy and the other, the other big issue is that we just don't have the ability to synthesize any, even if we had that information. we don't have the ability to synthesize an entire dodo genome or a mammoth gene, which we would need to do in order to be able to close a real dodo or a real man. i've. so a lot of technical and scientific challenges overcome so many hurdles. you talk about what stands in the way of it, but how is it supposed to actually work?

can you tell us a little bit about the science of how it's supposed to happen? well do collazo bio sciences is decided to do a little bit of an end around run. what they, what they're doing is they're taking intact d n a from the closest living relatives of these extinct species. for example, the case of the dodo that would be the nika, bar pigeon. in the case of that man, that would be the asian elephant. and so they'll take the d n a from that living species, which it has intact. and mammoth dna was over 99 percent the same as elephant d n a. so, so they're taking that dna and they're making genetic modifications. they're, they're putting in mammoth genes into the asian elephant dna. and they're hoping that after they put a fertilized egg into an asian elephant surrogate after 2 years, what comes out is going to be an asian elephant that has some mamma's characteristic. now if you do this over and over again, it may be crosby, what happens? one day you might have something that looks like a mammoth, but is it really a mammoth that's? that's the question i. of course,

we're wondering about the market for this. you know, this is a commercial enterprises doing this, but assuming this all this works, derek, what about the ethical aspect? should we not be concerned? well, there are really a lot of ethical aspect as well. i mean, 1st of all we have to overcome. we have to actually make these creatures, but the question is, is, are they going to only live in sue's the ecosystems that they, that they survived and have disappeared from the earth and the case, the mamma's, you know, the, the tundra is, is no longer what it once was in the dodo, you know, there's agriculture in riches, and now, and there's rats and monkeys that would, that would, that would work it out. there is also, you know, you often hear when you're looking at this from the experts. there is no, ma'am, has to teach a mammoth how to be a mammoth, so, you know, there's more to being a mammoth than just the genes. i think that there are, 1st of all, the scientific and the scientific and technical aspects have to be overcome. i'm not certain that that's going to really happen, but definitely there needs to be a debate on what happens ethically with these animals when and if they actually exist. goodness. okay, well, maybe we'll see a mammoth on a horizon,

doug. doug williams from dw size thanks so much. and finally, to argentina where messy mania has gripped the country since the football stores returned to play of friendly against panama. lino massey was mobbed by a crowd of fans when he left a steak house in the capital one is iris. thursdays sold out match will be his 1st game with argentina since the squad one, the world come. messy had been widely expected to retire from internationals. but he says he wants to wear argentina's blue and white jersey a little longer as world chem and just one more thing i want to tell you, i might naturally assume that the united states is the king of baseball. but think again, japan has beaten the u. s 32, to win the men's world baseball classic, the sports equivalent of the world cup, superstar. sho, hey

o tony's to rock out los angeles. angels team mate mike trout to dethrone the defending champion. the triumph in miami gave japan its 1st title since 2009. you're watching dw news from berlin up next. it's our environment show eco, india. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. ah ah, with

eco india. how can a country's economy grow in harmony with its people and the environment when there

are doers to look at the bigger picture? india, a country that faces many challenges and whose people are striving to create a sustainable future deliver projects from europe and india. eco, india on d w ah, is our drinking water running with precious resources shrinking yet in the long wait? a consequence of climate change? what can be done about the water shortage? we accompany scientists around the world in this sense, since our drinking walton in 45 minutes on the w. o.

o, this is to who did you do the food? i played tennis testing. she survived auschwitz, things to music, and he was the nazis favorite conductor. to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power and inspiring story about survival. music in nazi germany, watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. ah, london, they had a fundamental part of life on earth where the rain forests in added regions on the underwater was flung subtle to essential to life in cities.
