ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin kind words for china and a stern warning. visiting beijing you chief was enough on the line previous chinese leadership, paying on his nuclear weapons stance, but warns against arming. russia also on the program. tensions rise on the israel lebanon border after rocket sly into israeli air space. several are fired

into the north of the country. but israel's military says they were all intercepted and as bella ruffian in russian leaders meet in moscow, the kremlin says it's stationing of tactical nuclear weapons and bella roost as a response to nato's expansion. the same justification, it used to invade you crank with the journalists and socialites, do help artist escape nazi germany. we look at the new netflix theories, trans atlantic and how it's producer was inspired to tell their story. ah, i'm nichol fairly, it's good to have you with us. european commission chief was the laugh on the line and french president manuel my call, have called on china to use it's influence with russia to end the war in ukraine. the european leaders are in beijing to promote peace, but they also had

a warning for chinese president she jane ping, not to send weapons to russia. a clear message from the e. u chief to chinese president jean ping. use your leverage with moscow to help end of the war in ukraine. china's position on this is crucial for the european union. as a member of the un security council, there is a big responsibility. and we expect that china will play its role and promote a just peace one that respects ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. one of the cornerstones of the un charter. it was a message echoed by french president, emmanuel in the kron who joined the 2 for talks legless shoot recently cleaned the russian aggression in ukraine has dealt a blow to the stability farm and it ended decades of peace in europe. if we're

walking digital, i know i can count on new policy to bring russia to its senses and every one to the negotiating table. it will know that at that the negotiation whether the chinese president will, he'd that call is unclear. vonda lion reported that he had agreed to talk to you crane's president zalinski when the time was right. though ye made no mention of this in his own comments after the meeting. there were words of warning from fonder lion, the ear chief told ye not to arm russia against ukraine. a possibility many western leaders have feared. but she also had praised fishy statements on nuclear war. and chinese president has urged both sides not to use nuclear weapons without mentioning russia, specifically on trade g said beijing and paris had agreed to deepen their co operation in fields like aerospace and nuclear energy. human rights concerns, particularly the persecution of the wigan muslims engine. jang. we're also

discussed the e u chief called the european chinese relationship, a complex but into dependent one. the war and ukraine is certainly putting the partnership to the test. and joining us now is robert dailey, he's the director of the wilson center kissinger institute on china and the united states. mr. dailey welcome to the w phone line, and my call are asking a lot from someone who describes his friendship with prudent as the limitless. what can realistically be expected here from basing very little here the year that china might play a positive role has been around practically from the 1st day of the invasion. well over a year now. and she's in ping has not seen fit to attempt to play that role. so there's nothing about the current status of the war that he's likely to find. which is a good sign that now is the time to do it. change position is still that it is, it is neutral, but it isn't contributing. and so i think that there's very little leverage, and there's very little that china can offer to putin to get him to stay his hand

at least under current conditions. so would you say they're wasting their time and beijing right now? well, it's a good idea to go. it can, they can put some pressure on. she didn't ping, but they have really, very little leverage. macro, of course, has come with a number of french ceos in toe and they are signing deals. china is going to build twice as many air buses within china, and this will not be lost and she didn't thing or on the chinese people. it looks like they are coming perhaps as supplicants because the value that the trade relationship as highly as they do. i think that at this stage in the war of the stage in trans relations with europe, that is going to carry the day. china is hoping that economics will be the ballast cheating thing, holds the ballast of his relations with europe. relations between china and the us have deteriorated significantly in recent months and years now. beijing wants to

see the e. you take a different route. how much freedom does the you have though to choose its own approach? here? while europe has been shifting its approach f over the past several years, there had been considerable space from china's point of view between europe and the united states before the invasion of ukraine. but european coming around to a more skeptical view of china, remember that it was before the invasion, that the you had named china as a systemic rival. and the you had made that decision as a function of its strategic sovereignty at strategic independence. they made that change, not because the united states was so convincing, but because of what beijing, in fact had done, and it's corrosion of lithuania and the check for public and some of the scandinavian nations. so europe has a considerable amount of strategic got it has been europe strategic judgment. the china is in fact, a growing threat. there is a sense in china. it seems that

a russian defeat or anything interpreted as such, would be in a way seen as a win for the united states. so one could think that it's not necessarily in china's interests to end this war. that is correct when we go to see jim ping and asked him to, to try to end the war. china has no special wisdom, some special magic that gets them around the fundamental dilemma. and the normal course is that must not be rewarded for his aggression. but unless he gets something for all of the sacrifice that russians have paid, he's unlikely to stop. that's right now or truly insoluble problem. she's in ping, as you suggest, does not want putin to fail or russia to be weakened. the worst chinese outcome would be for putting to fall, such that russia once again turns more toward europe. that doesn't seem to be in the cards in the short run, or in any scenario we can really describe in detail. but nor is it on thinkable.

china's major goal here is to keep a strong russia as a partner in its competition with the west. interesting staff, robert daily of the wilson center. thank you so much. thank you. several rockets have been fired on northern israel from lebanon. it's not known who was behind the attack by lebanese report, say the salvo was launched from palestinian refugee camps. i got to you scott rock . it appears to have damaged a car in the israeli town of a pseudo israeli army says it successfully intercepted more than 2 dozen, missa escalation comes after flashes this week between israeli police and palestinians, inside jerusalem's. our acts and mosque. that's as lambs. 3rd whole the site d w, correspond antonia kramer is standing by for us in jerusalem at tanya talk us through what happened today. while shortly or before 3 o'clock local time

this afternoon, the air raid sirens went off almost across northern israel. as rockets were launch from southern of and on into israel. now the army has said in a statement that they have identified $34.00 rockets being launched. 25 of them were intercepted by the iron dome defense system and 5 fell into a as israel territory. some others were still being searched for, the israeli army said, as he said, no group has claimed responsibility. but the army here said in a briefing to reporters earlier this evening, they believed that it is a palestinian militant groups, hammers, or islamic jihad that might be behind this barrage of rockets. in response to the events at the alex, i must compound this week and military. and unless you have also pointed out that

this couldn't happen without the the content of her scholar, the militant group in southern lebanon. it's a very chaotic picture at this point. and according to israeli media reports, this was the heaviest jelling from lebanon since and 2006. how much of an escalation is that? well, it seems as though one of the biggest escalations said they have since been some, a smaller ones in between. but i'm in to put it into context, and you mentioned that already. and this is seen of course, just a days after the escalation on one of the most holiest site in east jerusalem, the alex i'm most compelled to her i'mma sharif from muslims. when a police israeli police stormed inside at the mosque, or during the night, there were videos coming out from them, beating palestinians, beating people inside the mosque. or so many people where arrest. and that has led

to widespread a condemnation also by our up nations. and we also have to say, this is not the 1st time this happened. and in 2021 similar scenes that have been a cinder on this holy site have triggered uh, the war between israel and hamas, and garza. and a lot of concern around the world about the situation there tonight, tanya kramer, thank you so much. take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today around in saudi arabia have signed an agreement to re establish diplomatic relations. the rope rushman comes after china broker and an agreement between the 2 rivals last month, assigning and beijing is the 1st time foreign ministers of the 2 countries of met for more than 7 years. in india, opposition lawmakers from more than a dozen parties have held a rally against the government of prime minister no remedy. demonstrators accused

the government of using it is agencies to intimidate opposition. leaders stand off follows the disqualification and conviction of a leading opposition figure for mocking the prime minister surname on russian. prosecutors are calling for a 25 year prison sentence for opposition. politician blood him your current more so he's on trial and closed court on charges, including treason, accused of spreading false information about the russian army. kara morsa was a close a to assassinated opposition leader board members. don't like to refer to the kremlin, says the leaders of beller, bruce and russia, did not discuss the deployment of strategic nuclear weapons during their talks on thursday, despite being widely expected to do so. the laveries in liter, alexandra lucas. shank o. as in moscow or a 2nd day of meetings with russian president vladimir putin discussions have focused on defense and economic ties. russia had earlier announced land to place it's tactical nuclear weapons embellish. he's

a move that has drawn condemnation from the west. kremlin has dismissed the criticism, saying that the decision is a response to nato's expansion. nato secretary general, you installed in burg, said the deployment contradicts a recent russian chinese statement saying countries shouldn't station nuclear weapons beyond their borders. this is russia's iskander and missile system able to hit targets up to 500 kilometers away. he could soon be stationed in bel roost near the polish border, carrying nuclear warheads. moscow says the scanner system has already been transferred to the bell. russian military and troops had reportedly arrived and earlier this week where to go for under these circumstances, we are taking retaliatory measures defending the security of the union state bell. ruth has been a close ally to russia since the invasion of ukraine, which was partly launched from bella russian territory. since then,

the russian and by russian militaries have carried out multiple joint exercises. russian nuclear warheads are scheduled to arrive in values in july. we'll shift over velo reese's authoritarian leader, alexander lucas jenko said the nuclear weapons weren't just for show hardly brain stylist on you put the ukrainians, believe that they will win. well, this is nonsense. it is impossible to defeat a nuclear power if the russian leadership realizes that the situation threatens the collapse of russia than what the most awful weapons will be used to rush now to missouri. my put a swish to the united nations disarmament affairs chief has warned that the risk of nuclear war in europe is higher than at any point since the end of the cold war storm from mountain out more. we can speak to miles pamper from the center for non proliferation studies in washington dc. mister palmer, russia is placing nuclear weapons outside. it's ordered for the 1st time since the ninety's. what does that mean for european security? well, in a, in a military sense, it doesn't actually mean very much because of the targets of russia could hit

a bell roost could hit from russia itself. this is more of a political gesture. um, it's trying to chew one, a frightening european public city, especially in places like germany that have long had strong anti nuclear traditions to it's trying to sent a signal to poland, which has been one of the most outspoken supporters of ukraine or by placing the weapons close to the polish border. and 3, this is for the russian domestic audience. showing that somehow putin is using the nuclear weapons. he saw that quote from a lucas jenko saying that a nuclear power won't be defeated. so here's a, here's a side to we really still have nuclear weapons. yeah. and put in that said that bella rose has long been requesting the deployment of russian nuclear weapons. but looking at the power dynamics here is bella was really in a position to say no to russia. not really. and i,

i mean, they've been talking about this for year. i think the russians were probably more reluctant to place the weapons than a lucas shaped. oh, this is also about lucas, shank ghost domestic politics. remember he's so mcgraw recently crushed a very strong opposition movement again and still worried about that. having russians on the territory with the systems will be another guarantee of his regime . and so i think it's, it's suitable for both sides. look at 8 in the united states has nuclear weapons at nato basis, around europe in belgium, germany, italy, and the netherlands and turkish. russia could say it's doing the same with its ally now. oh yes, that's true. the united states says that those weapons there. ah, it's not rush as the is the the right in the sense to do the us. ah,

the reason it's doing it though is very little to do with anything in terms of military. so again, it's a political act, and that's what the why rushed it didn't have anything to do with, for instance, a finland, joining nato. and that, that was, this was discussed with the last year that was just an opportunity for russia to try to counter the narrative that it's losing, by deploying these weapons. so you don't think russia has any intentions of using these tactical nukes i know or attention that it added in using them from russia, and it doesn't change their calculus on whether to use the weapons remark. that's a, that's a separate decision. and that would not occur. i think in less of either nato enters the war directly. we're russia's rec, security is threatened, the open question years. what does what happens if ukraine was able to start watching an invasion of crimea trying to recapture crimea?

and does russia feel that that's so much in its interest, that it is than willing to use nuclear weapons? that's probably the biggest question mark out there. yeah, miles bumper from the center for non proliferation in washington dc. thanks for your time. thank you. and, and other news. columbian authorities are urging residents to evacuate the area around the nevada little, reese volcano in the countries when the government says a recent surgeon, seismic activity has increased the likelihood of interruption in name 1985 or option. they are killed over 20000 people. dozens of demonstrators have stormed offices of a major financial multinational in paris to protest against the government plan pension reforms. they're angry about president michaels plan to raise the retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00. the proposals have field weeks of nationwide

protests from the sienna through gilmer, italian prime minister, silvio berlusconi, is suffering from a rare type of blood cancer doctor say he's being treated for a lung infection link to look. leukemia was admitted to an intensive care units in milan. on wednesday, the media magnate is currently a senator and leader of the right wing for its italia party. it's been called one of the great untold stories of the 2nd world war. how a group of american journalists and socialites helped some of europe greatest artists and intellectuals, escaped nazi germany. well now the history of the american emergency rescue committee has been turned into a netflix series. trans atlantic takes its inspiration from the screwball comedies of the era to tell a tale filled with drama, romance and quite a few laughs. marcell 1940 jewish and left wing artists and intellectuals on the run for the nazis are trying

to escape to the u. s. a rag tag team of amateur americans, the emergency rescue committee, is trying to help, even as their country remains determined to stay out of the war in iraq. i. how can these people been throwing up when you're breaking any will know who lives right now? oh refugee, what does a difference on a finger was inspired to tell the story. after experiencing the 2015 refugee crisis, my office used to be in the temple half airport. and downstairs and the hangers was the 1st point of entry for the refugees were coming from mostly from syria. and i'm, and so we were all volunteering down there and my daughter who at the time was like 12 or 13. she said, well, you know, these are just people like us except for people like us used to have to leave berlin and now these people are coming here seeking refuge. u. s. journalists, darian fry, and the emergency rescue committee help more than 2000 refugees escaped nazi terr, including the philosopher on art. and the painter mocks. asked,

transatlantic tells this history, not as dr. drama, but is fictionalized romantic adventure. it focuses on mary jane, gold and american socialite, who help finance the operation. and albert hirschman, german, jewish refugee, who said them are say to help others escape. ah. stylistically transatlantic is inspired by 19 forties, romantic dramas and screwball comedies. i was great country, take them jewish problem very seriously. there's only one great country in europe. and i think that's in a certain way the truth of difficult time. you know, there's a reason why, why are people in, in she aim are cheating up their spirits. so strong at the moment because they are, they're not willing to say i give up. they're willing to say i will continue and,

and i will stay and you cannot take away my humour because it is stronger thing to something like those old hollywood movies. transatlantic is infused with a sense of optimism. however dark things get the possibility of a happy ending seems just around the corner. ah, scott roxborough has already watched the series and joins me now. stop. we've seen a lot of world war 2 films and shell is what makes this one stand out. well, i think it's 2 things. one is the story itself. it really is incredible that the story hasn't already been made into, into a dozen movies. i mean, it has really all the components of, of sort of an incredible adventure tale. the story of these amateur americans who, who gathered together and just with their, their wits try to rescue some of the greatest artists and thinkers of the 20th century, from, from, from nazi error is there's been incredible amount written about the events of the

emergency rescue committee. and these events in our same 940 because almost everyone who is rescued was an artist or writer. and of course they wrote memoirs plays and books about it. but for some reason it's never until now been turned into into a to a fictional tale. i like this i'm and the other thing i think that's really interesting and unique about the show is the style, the fact that it doesn't take the sort of dr. drama approach. it doesn't try to redo the history of b for b, but instead a takes inspiration from these 940 hollywood ghost, many them made by the very image emigres who escaped from europe. and in doing so, it gives a whole sort of life feel to the, to the, to the history, which i think makes a good ana, maybe a little bit easier. yeah. so serious topic told in the style of a screwball comedy, does that juxtaposition work? i guess it depends on your how much you know the story and how much you know that the history and also your tolerance for that kind of style. i'm. i really liked it . i love those, those movies,

and i love the fact that it doesn't try to just slavishly tell that the history of instead, it tells this whole story as an adventure tale. it isn't a factual tale of what happened in 1940 in marcell for that. you have to go back to the books. you have to go to some of the documentary of the made about the emergency rescue committee. but for sort of a light adventure tale that sort of touches on the events of the time and gives maybe a feel for the period. i think this is, is really great. it isn't casablanca of writing is not up to that level. and the, the lucas englander is no, harry is no humphrey bogart. but i think it's still a really nice way to approach this history and to approach the story. all right, another thing approaching is the long weekend. so would you recommended as one to watch over the easter holidays? yeah, i think definitely, especially if you don't, haven't ever heard of the emergent rescue. many don't know anything about the story about all these incredible artisan thinkers who are rescued in this is really

daring away in 1940 m r. say it's a great sort of entry point for it. it's a lovely, fun, a few hours are to spend with them. and then after you get in, you can go back to the actual history and find out what's real, what's false, what really happened because the actual story behind this series is even more incredible than what you see on screen. yeah. fascinating. rabbit. whole to dive into over the easter holidays. thank you so much. scott roxborough now some stories making headlines in sports and english, but bon chelsea are bringing back former coach frank landmark to be intern boss. until the end of the season, lambert had a falling out with a team and 2021 which led to his 2nd. and part 2nd debut. well be this saturday and chelsea's match against the wolf's. and michael jordan's shoes are set to become the most valuable sneakers ever sold at auction. jordan scored 37
