as we say, there was never giving up every weekend on d w the this is dw news live from the in the united states closes. it's embassy and keith warning of a major missiles try, can ukraine. the preemptive move to close the building in the ukrainian capital comes a day off. the us made missiles, has the military facility in russia's brands region must go says the strikes, small can new phase in the wall and ones it will respond accordingly. we'll say coming up on the program jim and defense minutes the bars. the story as describes the suffering of to fiber optic cables under the baltic c as an acts of sabotage. he says it may be an acts of hybrid real fast and as the caulked twin, c,

9 climate conference developing nations want trillions of dollars in climate finance from right to nations to cope with climate change. and they want china to lead the charge, the and then you could just make it and good to have you with us. the united states has closed it's m c and cave and anticipation of what it describes as a potential significant attack on the ukrainian capital. the move comes a day off, the ukraine used us made missiles, known as the top comes for the 1st time to here's an munition, death row on russian soil, us defense officials. and also brief to media outlets, saying they will soon provide ukraine with anti personnel land mines. now these a band and international tracy signed by keith the kremlin, says

a new phase of the war has begun and is promising to respond accordingly. of the just days after receiving the approval from washington, ukraine has used longer range attack cause me selves for the 1st time, he think targets deeper inside russia. moscow says 6 ballistic me selves targeted a military facility in the western brands region. but it claims 5 of them were shut down. who the strikes came? is ukraine marked $1000.00 days since the start of rushes invasion? after repairing for a ceremony in his own, paul lament ukraine's president full of dimmers the landscape told you lawmakers to do more to end the conflict. last time, you know, the latest. think about, you know, some of the actions are something nice at your grades. expand, which is focused on, we mean before,

she will not stop and he's all the more time he asked the wars the conditions become the landscape pointed rushes, recent deployment of north korean troops to the front line seen as a major publication by western leaders of the staff may have also influenced washington's decision to live tv to deploy attacks. now, washington's move has prompted russia to update its nuclear weapons policy. the newly released doctrine permits a potential nuclear response even to the conventional attack on russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power. long range missiles are going to be applied from ukraine into russian territory. it will also mean that they ought to rate that by a nearly con experts military experts. and we will be

taking this as a corner that you really knew face of the western hor, against the russian, and the bill will react accordingly. not all western leaders are on board with supplying ukraine with longer range weapons. despite please from key of german is chancellor. all of sholtes has refused. now the world must wait to see whether washington's decision will hasting towards the resolution or escalation john foreman as a defense sex, but he's served as the u. k. is defense attached to it both in keith and in moscow in the last decade. welcome to dw, thank so much for your time today. russia says the bill has entered a new phase. it's updated. it's nuclear weapons policy. can you tell us what all this means? yeah, sure. i didn't agree with the report just before this segments because rush is

being talked about today to use 2028th adoption policy since september. but the be able to do this all terms which we like to come out. and at the same time, we think of quite for quite a long time, but to craig's boutique requesting always results from america with 2 and a half years. so these 2 things come together. obviously people complain to the 2 issues with actually the need to policy adoption updates is very much about strategic new to the parents, about preventing a large scale tackle and brush it, which effects its ability to fall back secret weapons by the your cable friends. oh it's uh, so you don't to space. i'm actually that the attack was issue slightly separate to think much more tactical, which isn't covered in adult trend. okay. we're hearing russia saying that going to react accordingly. i mean, what do you expect most go to do in reaction to ukraine using these long arrangements solve? yeah, i think there will be

a reaction if we so separates to issue slightly distribution could react to set the way see could. but example, no flaw, scale air attack, some care which i saw you were pulled about and leading to the closure, the american embassy. but he's been doing that for 2 and a half years. he can escalate to unconventionally, or the hybrid matter, perhaps by suffering. cable is all about some stuff about silence in germany, conductive cyber attacks or assassinations gave me speed enough to know if he is or he could escalate black. truly, perhaps outside of your how many people mentioned hutus or the radians adults career and point to africa to try and show it to the americans. but take to these actions, providing the sauce has a cost in tons of nuclear weapons. i mean, what do you think would or could push russia to, of actually pulling into the trigger? it's totally, i mean, the good thing about having these policy documents that she set south pressure and thinking, so he's updated to hits the truth threats. it said that it would fall on holding by

large scale aerospace assault against russia, which gave a text based on the method was so far as took your weapons in response to a new current psych. i think of it, somebody's eyes of complications are important, but ultimately i'm not sure that the risk of attempts to agree to the following you for weapons. but that should give you many reward. all right, so in this context, whether we get a statement, i have pressure to be very clear. he doesn't want to escalate the whole from ukraine to warrantable with thanks. i, of course, following the to athens or using these weapons inside you, craig, but risk support from china and india, and also risk another reaction to the americans against the russian army deployed inside ukraine. we're hearing today the president buys and as agreed to to provide ukraine with anti personnel land mines. now these a weapons that have banned by an international tracy ukraine has signed that tracy . so would ukraine be breaking international law or in this case?

yeah, we are 60 of the 1997. also a convention was signed with a very different time. and actually the item about convention was to reduce hom civilians right through to use the landlords because of the time. but it was fun. people didn't expect russia to be marching and so you're craving killing tens of thousands. the craters opened up to a will of progression and occupation. so i think the crating coupling, they have looked to the issue as a look to the issue of customizations which also banned by international conventions and said, all that defense in accordance with new types of patients come to treaty. the risk reward of using these binds or customer issues, outweighs the risk seats and ashley to the reputation and not police reported rushes has been on the front foot board and it has the advantage initiative. ukraine is loose, this will steadily. and so we should providing or rep is necessary for the crate to defend himself, including landlines,

if necessary. it does seem that the biden administration is mobilizing all possible supports for ukraine before donald trump takes power next to it. what difference do you think this will make? it was, it was a hired, it says obviously because of the presidential election campaigns in the republics to quite clean k clean, keen, sorry to use support to ukraine as a weapon to be bought over at his head. i think by his team for his legacy to enter the locker should we say before pete trump comes to pops. he's also looked to the situation, but the dual credit is being deployed into brush it to fight ukraine in the cause of pockets. also verify that the credit of the back button don't pass. i think it will say, providing weapons to ukraine now. changes the situation is donald trump will have to do with when he comes to power. bill should be when i, there's been talk about peace deals with peace treaties and settling. but to you we should be funding by the most to provide the crime. everything possible to the

truck goes down. that path crane is obligation for the position of strength and not for weight. this gentleman defense next, but joining us from the cage on thank you so much for your time today. thank you. or other german defense minister bars. the story is described the submarine of 2 fiber optic cables under the baltic sea as an act of sabotage. now, according to media reports, the danish navy was shadowing a chinese colorado ship. the less the baltic off to the telecommunications cables will comp caught the story. a says, the damage appeared deliberate, and could represent snacks of hybrid wolf. under c cables like this one are critical for carrying communications between countries. the apparent sabotaged on monday morning hit the sea line and one cable that runs under the baltic between the german port city of roll stock and the finish capital of helsinki. officials

from finland and germany have said the incident was very unlikely to be accidental . guns clout of size, and does he have nobody believes that these cables were cooked by mistake for xander. i don't believe the series that it was incurs that's accidentally cause damage to these cables with these. and so we have to conclude on without knowing exactly who to this was that it was a hybrid action that to you on order cold. and we must also assume without knowing this of course, that is sabotaged off on all skin. wanna excellent, sufficient for states is does is it goes advertised under the foreign ministers of germany, france, poland, italy, spain, and the u. k said most goes, escalating hybrid activities against nato and e. u. countries are unprecedented in their variety and scale, creating a significant security risk. this comes just one day after a similar under seas cable between sweet and less when it was damaged. that cut lithuania is internet capacity by one 3rd. similar incidents in africa have caused

internet blackouts in the past. there are many more such cables in the seas around europe. authorities in the region are on high alert. we can get more on this from a country leak, a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations, a country. let's assume that this was a sabotage. tell us about the benefits of disrupting communication networks. how does this help? whoever has done it when, if it is russia behind it, as many people suspect, then that's would probably be messaging me in for russia, it is a dangerous moment, then it has to will in ukraine. they are antoine, sync up ads are all ceasefire proposals on the horizon. so most go would obviously want to push for west to agree to cease via in most goes tubs. and this can hope

for president trump might have come close to that, but it is quite clear that you are p and countries have different views. so in the context, i would take that this is signaling that a don't try to push you all terms on us. you on the right. okay. and what about the consequences? i mean, what kind of disruption does this create for those people and governments, or the way into those cables there of course backups. so for now, i don't think anything for magic has happened a but the old ways such things create a create problems. you need to send a cruise to repair a do need to have spear capacity and certain things actually hard to repair of. and all those, i mean in gas pipelines, it can take

a long time and that can bundle and ready to shop gas prices. so the reason problematic things, and in any case, even if the immediate effect is not so traumatic. so if we are possibly gonna see more of this kind of sabotage, i mean, is there enough protection the on to see infrastructure on the current international? so i am not sure. i don't think you can, if i have enough protection from amber, also medicaid. but as how do car has been effectively, do you do have a cruise of the guards? where i mean cables alone, it's hundreds of kilometers. so it is hard to do in any case. what you good to mean you could try to attribute to the incidents, naming and training can have some deterrent effects in the future. but also a printed thing has ups and downs. i know the old ways. it is so pled boys for code

print, and at other times a try did think actually can tell people a lot about how you found out. yeah, showing your own tools and skill sets, but maybe you do not always want to show. and of course, the, the sad aspect is about democratic countries kind of 20 and the replying kind. i mean, russia as on the board, the infrastructure to china has to, but it's not in the character of our countries to think that ok, let's go on to some stuff with joshua. so in that sense, we are in a week of position. inevitably, it does sound like it really is quite a vulnerable system. nato has launched a maritime sensitive protect on the c infrastructure. but i mean, you know the question, beg, sweet to be off. what can they to do to improve the security of,

of critical on the c cables given development, the over his phone ability. oh, yes indeed. and, and that's a question to me too. i mean, certain things are probably can to very uh, electronic surveillance mechanisms. i assume that we can improve it a little bit, but a 100 percent safety. i do not see how one could cheap. mm hm. the majority of, on the see cables are owned by private companies. i mean, should governments do you think, be taking greater controls to increase the level of safety here? i think so, because they don't. but uh, even if it this private though and it is, it is critical infrastructure and on the less so it is quite a event that to yeah, governments should take an interest in it to it speaks to yeah,

public private partnerships. so i think that is one thing that can be done. we can actually prove a lot the collaboration between different institutions that are in boys because, you know, it's a cable. the kids heard it's been the parties involved with the uh yeah, private enterprise telecom firms goes to car. it's military security services. you name it another one of them are a custom to talking to each other. so i think communication and actually exercises, but prepare for accidents, but it's something we can do to protect the websites. country leak senior fellow at the european council on foreign relations countries. thank you very much. i. so we're going to take a look now some of the other stories and making headlines around the world today.

and the german national has been arrested in russia's colleen in grad escalades on sabotage charges, rushes f s b intelligence. the said the man was implicated in an explosion at a gas facility in march. russia has seen a spike in people charged with sabotage, treason and terrorism, since the invasion of ukraine in february 2022. former media mogul jimmy lie has defended himself in a home concourse against charges of endangered national security. while i was arrested in 2020, during a crackdown on anti government protests faces a sentence of life and presence. choose day one comes high, cold del dozens of pro democracy acts of this up to 10 years in a separate procedure. for those president luis and ask him to let the silva has cold on the wells biggest economies to improve that climate. targets is appeal came on. the 2nd and final day of the sea is g. 20 summit in brazil,

the rich nice nations to strive to achieve. net 0 emissions within 5 to 10 years. and developing nations say that they will need trillions of dollars in climate finance to cope with the impacts of climate change as negotiations to reach a new agreement. take place at the club, $29.00 climate conference and as advice on rich developing countries, including china, all being aust to pay up summer and trying to stand on province. a lack of water and correct river beds has had an impact on local farmers use high or when it was built right up there once it was just a couple of meters away from the rhode island when yeah, now it's trunk and dry it up and cover about the irrigation full time night, i'm drinking water supply for the city both depend on that scorching heat, big the region for over a month. one of the extreme weather events that have been hit in china heart heat

waves are being made stronger and more likely to happen due to the burning of fossil fuels that are driving climate change. most of which is currently happening in china. the biggest greenhouse gas emitter imaging almost twice as much as the 2nd largest polluter, the united states. and the other big emitter is like india, the you and russia cannot use your has attempts to control or scaling down it's cold. how of sleep, you know, past years 2 or 3 years, we still see you and your approval soft cold power plants is starting to slow down fits your absolutes tend it's increasing. so that's a concern. china is high emissions, are one of the reasons negotiators from industrialized countries at the cop 29 climate conference. so it should be contributing to funds to help other developing countries and the reliance on fossil fuels and also to cope with the impacts of climate change. another reason is the size of china's economy,

which is the 2nd largest in the world. and due to a large part on industry yet is still considered a developing country under the united nations climate change framework. while not officially contributing to a globally agree climate finance goal of $100000000000.00. china says that has provided around $24500000000.00 in financing since 2016. and it has invested heavily and solar and wind power and electric cars. in 2023, the state spent more than $273000000000.00 on renewable energy, followed by europe, which spent around half of that. and then the united states, asian, oceania, and brazil. china's case also clearly shows once the climate could solutions, can make economic sense to we'll develop really, really fast. it's unclear whether china has already reached peak fossil fuel

emissions. but if not, it will soon. and that, along with its push for green energy, will put it on a path to the carbon ization. whether it will take more financial responsibility for its growth is still up in the air. as soon as a founding partner, as the new climate instance use any, joins us now from the top 29 planet summit and back. who welcome to the w nets less . you institute has published the climate change performance index 2025. today that lists china as one of the lowest performing countries tell us why not china is on rank $55.00 of the $67.00 countries that we are looking at. so that's not really good. and that is because of greenhouse gas emissions in china continued to rise. also, the emissions per campus are relatively high, almost twice as much as those in the u. uh, so we see 2 trends that are cancelling each other on the one hand foot economy is

going strong, more energy is used, more fossil fuel is used a more fossil fuel power plants of being built on the other hand. so there's also a lot of new investments in rural the renewable energy. actually they've mentioned that renewable energy target and well ahead of schedule. and also every 2nd car is known electric cars that are sold in china and curbing oil emission. so right now we hope that's a peach in bringing us. got some issues as soon mets in china and then ever since can go down, but so far it's still going off. okay, so good news and bad news from what you, what you're hearing and seeing a comp 29. i mean how much pressure is being exhausted on china at this conference to push full being more ambitious to push for more ambitious climate targets. unimportant benchmark here is where the global greenhouse gas emissions reach

a peak and then design and china is so big. it's a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. so if china pete's antics lines, then also global greenhouse gas emissions, peak, and decline. and that's why there's a lot of pressure on china to come forward with new targets. china has used a very conservative approach in the past. they only propose something here, internationally. that's a 100 percent sure to meet. so if they propose something, we can be sure it will be meant and probably be much more can be done. so for example, the over at chief, the renewal target that will hold for the emissions will be for 2013, which is the current target. but in order to meet the goals of the parents agreement, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced drastically by 2030. and that's why everybody's hoping the china can propose a target on is significant reduction. humphrey knows customers and by 2030. and they can, because renewals are really expanding very, very fast in china. and that is a big opportunity for china to make up the important contribution to the

international atomic policy. especially now that of the us is moving out of the focus. and maybe there's a gap that's trying to conceal right. and negotiate has come 29. also saying only that china should be contributing to funds to help all the developing countries and that reliance on fossil fuels. do you see the possibility of china stepping out to take more financial responsibility? yeah, also here china is very conservative. they have, they didn't want to be mentioned the official in the us as contributing to thomas finance. but in reality they already do. you know, they finance a lot of projects outside of their their country right now. it's at least $3000000000.00 a year. that the finance in green projects auto for china. and i think there's a little bit of movement that we can see from china here at the negotiations. they use some language that has been only used for developed countries,

although china says they want to be classified as a developing countries. and so i am very hopeful that that kind of comfortable with, with more actions and also that these actions are recognized because while they already providing climate finance and for them, it's also good because china as a powerhouse note, they produced 80 percent of a global uh sort of modules they produced 60 percent of in a to a binds. they produce 60 percent of the set of sales globally. so if they support the transitions, i can also benefit from its nicholas sooner from the new climate institute and joining us from the cop $29.00 to i'm it summit. nicholas, thank you so much for your insights. the thank you. it's just before we go, here's a quick reminder, as our top story for you, the u. s. embassy, and keith has shut down off the saying it received warnings of a russian air attack. several european countries followed the move,

which comes up to ukraine, fired us, supplied longer range missiles at targets inside russia. and with that, you are up to date. thanks so much for watching. the

thought i was curious if i've never seen gold mining with my own eyes before. i thought it would be different. i only seen it. and then they offered me a job. the salary and the conditions were good. so i decided to give it a try. the gold rush in east pakistan, they didn't tell me. the next on d, w. vin runs the groundbreaking office. in the 17th century,

the make up your own mind? me the, do you ever find yourself captivated by the seductive, the lower risk don't. but when it does go that to the come from much of it was phones when stones exploded, arriving on us as meteor writes new ones that they, inc, a cold goals. because if the sun this precious met to prove to be highly durable and became a symbol of power, well seemed to be in the time of the romans. gold was fast used as a label means of payment in gemini, the 1920s were considered.
