money keeps, mckinnon. welcome to the program. ukraine has dismissed warnings of a major russian missile strike pointing to a psychological wolf. that operation carried out by moscow, several western nations, including the us, close the embassies, and keep in response to the threats. the ukraine used us, made missiles, known as a tech comes for the 1st time to his and munition desco inside russia, as well as allowing ukraine to use those missiles. the bite and administration has also given keys the go ahead to use american land mines. the kremlin says a new phase of the war has begun and is vowing to respond accordingly. just days after receiving the approval from washington, ukraine has used longer range attack cause me selves. for the 1st time, he think talk gets deeper inside russia. the most co says 6 ballistic missiles

targeted a military facility in the western brand squeezen, but it claims 5 of them were shut down. who the strikes came? is you grain? mocked $1000.00 days since the start of rushes invasion. after repairing for a ceremony in his own, paul lament ukraine's president followed dimmers the landscape told you lawmakers to do more to end the conflict last time, you know the latest. so you about, you know, some of the actions or something nice that you, grace expands, which is focused on, we mean before, she will not stop on these 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 pro occasion by western leaders. the staff may also have influenced

washington's decision to allow key of to deploy attackers right after what rush it published. it's updated nuclear weapons policy, a move that was months in the making. as a newly released dog trans permits, a potential nuclear response even to a 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 are or if you're ready to buy a new recon, the next does meet at the expense and we will be taking this as a quarter to 2. but the new face of the western hor, against the russian a and the bill will be if the forwarding not all western leaders are on board with supplying ukraine with longer range weapons despite please from key of german is

chancellor. all of scholes has refused. now the world must wait to see whether washington's decision will hasting towards the resolution or escalation said, russia says it will react accordingly. i'll see you cry, news longer range us missiles, john fulman as a defense expert who served as the case defense attached to both and keep. and in moscow, in the last decade, i asked him what he expects most go to do next. distribution good to react to set the why do you see the example? no flaw, scale air attack, some care which i saw you were pulled about and leading to the closure of the american embassy, but he's been doing that for 2 and a half years. he could escalades unconventionally, or the hybrid metal, perhaps by suffering cable is all about success, about sondra, germany, or conducting the cyber attacks or assassinations. again, needs to be enough to know if he is, or he could escalate black. truly, perhaps outside of your, with your team, how would people mentioned the hutus or the radians adults career and point to

africa to try and show the americans would say 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 a clear trigger? the hello is hopefully, i mean, look, this thing about having these policy documents that she sent south pression thinking. so he's updated to it's the truth threats. it said that it would fall on holding or by large scale aerospace assault against russia, which gave a taxes based on some method will so far as those your weapons, your response to a new current psych. i think of it, somebody's a cough case to important, but ultimately i'm not sure that the risk of a to just agree to the following you for weapons but, but that should give you many reward. all right, so in this context, whether we get it states, 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 throughout those are all using these weapons inside your crime, but risk support from china and india and also risk another reaction to the americans against the russian army deployed inside ukraine as jump, pullman a defense x. but speaking to me earlier, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and germany's defense minister bars. the stories that describe the unexplained suffering of 2 fiber optic cables under the baltic c as an access sabotage. the full countries affected germany, finland, lithuanian, sweden who launched investigations. the story is said, the damage appeared, deliberate and could rep presents and acts of hybrid will. festivals, impressions parliament has back to legislation binding the promotion of a so called child free lifestyle roommate. because also blocks russian children being adopted by citizens of countries that allow gender transitioning. it's the

latest in the series and most promising what the kremlin calls, traditional family values of the g 20 summit and rio has wrapped up with 0 biden's . sudden reversal of us policy and ukraine overshadowing the official agenda, a slicing prophecy employment change brazilian president louisa. now, seeing the silver close down to the summit, my urging rich nations to bring forth that target to achieve that 0 emissions within $5.00 to $10.00 is developed. nations have historically produced the biggest shaft of greenhouse gases again and the counsellor. when i 1st arrived back from rio in bell in a few hours ago and our chief political editor, michelle, you left us now who was travelling with trump specialists as always, to also just go back to berlin after a very long flight. so we were very happy to see him, he said, isla, i'm, let's start with what the heads of state and government agreed on in rio and, and whether this 224 month is still actually set for the past. yes. what,

what they've agreed on. it's always kind of a policy paper that everybody wants to work towards. it's not legally binding. that's been the criticism from day one of the d 20. but after all, this is a very powerful format. full 5th of the world economy sits around the table in terms of leadership and almost 2 thirds of the world's population. so if these people agree on something, and that's a pretty good starting point. and they want to see a tax of 1000000000 this and they've put down here that's a trillions of dollars, not billions of dollars will be needed to help alleviate the effects of climate change and particularly help poor nations. and this is actually has the clear handwriting of brazil's president alluded to silva who's kind of more leftist and who made a deliberate drive here to put those over are seeing problems that affects particularly poor nations at the center that's hung good. that's climate change. i'm not the was

in ukraine on the conflict in the middle east. so this is an interesting calibration point. and at the same time, it's while the telling and who really is driving an agenda and who is and having more of an effect on what the world should be talking and acting on. so we heard a clear voice here from the global self. so if anything, just the sideline meetings that are taking place here at this very level, and what makes the g 20? when speaking of those slide, one of these things you were traveling with the gym and sean slate. he had a meeting with china's president's decision, paying on the sidelines of the summit to tell us more about what that discussion was about. i think of any of assessing this very, telling the tiniest dedication they were in a hotel, the only hotel that has its private beach and it had, in essence, a feeling of it's time use present using thing, holding quotes, i was there with the concept that hotel off to him was a monitoring my call or coming in and we only know from the child. so side that he

went into that meeting, wanting to address a particularly will in ukraine on that the, these north korean troops. now, a suddenly popping up on the russian side is also something, as he said, that that's, that the whole of ages should be concerned about. but of course he wouldn't tell us about what exactly they spoke about. and let's talk about the role of western democracies at the g 20 and the power balance. i mean, to what extent is the power balance now shifting? but it's, katie sifting a towards those upcoming nations, china, of course, but also a brazil india, the largest democracy in the world. and was seeing donald trump come back into office in the united states that katie had a huge effect on how things other base is clear to everybody sitting around the table that everything is conditional to what disruptive policies will be coming out of the white house. at the same time, we are seeking

a scene time to set up an alternative that a very open doors in brazil with this as silva, as a really not seeing eye to eye with donald trump, asshole. they come from very different ends of convictions that and, and this is something that is going to be playing out of will western democracies. the damage is limited by a 2nd, trump presidency. and what does that mean for more for terry and countries? pick the chinese model that keeps trying to prove to itself its own population, but also to the world that it can be more effective in alleviating poverty and potentially also tackling climate change. all right, we'll have to leave it that, but thank you so much for that. the w as chief political edison, he has a customer who has just got back from the d 20 in brazil. mikayla. thank you so much. i, the developing nations say they will need trillions of dollars to help them cope with climate change as negotiations on

a new funding agreement take place of the cop $29.00. you employments conference in azerbaijan, richer countries, including china, a being off 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 still try it out. the water was just a couple of meters away from the road. yeah. now its trunk and try it up and cover it. well, the irrigation full time, the 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 happened hitting china hard 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 other big emitters like india, the, you and russia. china, you see

a has attempt to control or scaling down. it's called how of sleep, you know, past years 2 or 3 years we still see new approval, soft cold power plants is starting to slow down, but no absolutes to them. 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 me since climate change framework. while not officially contributing to a globally agreed climate finance goal of $100000000000.00 trend,

it says it has provided around $24500000000.00 in financing since 2016. and it has invested heavily and solar and wind power and electric cars. in 2023, if the state spent more than $273000000000.00 on renewable energy followed by europe, which spends around half of that. and then the united states, asian, oceania, and brazil. china as case also clearly shows once the climate could solutions can make economic sense to we are 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. i spoke to nicholas who earlier, who has that cop 29? he's from the new climate institute which just published the climate change

performance index 2025. now the index list, sharlena is one of the lowest performing countries in i asked him to tell us more. 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 continue 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 to more fossil fuel power plants of being built. on the other hand, there's also a lot of new investments in renewable energy. actually they've mentioned that renewable energy targeting well ahead of schedule. and also every 2nd car is known electric car that is sold in china and curbing oil emissions. so right now we hope

that's a peach in bringing us got some dishes 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, and that's a 100 percent sure to meet. so if they propose something, we can be sure it will be meant and probably much more can be done. so for example,

the over at chief, the renewal target that will hold for the emissions well before 2030, 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 20. so let's see . and that's why everybody's hoping that china, i couldn't propose a targets on a significant reduction offering us got some missing some by 2030 and the can. because renewables 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 uh, the us is moving out of the focus and maybe there's a gap that i'm trying to conceal right and negotiate as a cop 29 also saying only that china should be contributing to funds to help all the developing countries and reliance on so sol seals, do you see the possibility of china stepping out to take more financial

responsibility? yeah, also here the china is very conservative. they have, they didn't want to be mentioned to officially of as contributing to the time of finance. but in reality they already do. you know, they finance a lot of projects outside of their uh, the country right now is at least 3000000000 a year. that finance in green projects out of 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 country. and so i am very hopeful that that kind of come forward 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 is a powerhouse now they've produced 80 percent of a global uh so what i'm owed us, they produced 60 percent of in

a to binds. they produce 60 percent of use that our sales globally. so if they support the transitions, i can also benefit from it sooner from the new climate institute. and joining us from the club 29 to i'm it summit. nicholas, thank you so much for your insights. the now as far as he's in south africa are involved in a weeks long stand also the deceased mind, police of costs of food and water supplies to full south hundreds of illegal mine is searching for left as a gold, it's not clear whether the men are trapped or refusing to come out on face arrest. dw diane whitaker reports now from the abandoned mind to columbus has done this whole hundreds of mine workers are believed to be trapped of the mine is a cold. so i'm, as i must loosely translate to mean those we're trying to operate as part of unlicensed mining syndicates. they often stay underground for months at

a time relying on food deliveries from local businesses and family members. now police have cut those supplies and clothes of other exits in an attempt to force the mine is above ground. police say this is part of a why the plan to cook violent crime, which they say is driven by legal minus at this particular area where we are at one point in the past did we picked up about 20 bodies of these indigo minus that had been fighting, these are the over the tests. so um we, we, we, we came with this as i told you to say, let's put a stop to all these in the system. i need to be teased because they ease that proof when we do get the crime statistics that shows that areas where they easily go mining operations, they is bound to have high incidence and high levels of crimes. but relatives of those trip underground have a different view saying the family members are just trying to make

a living. this woman trouble, 200 kilometers, to find out with the husband has made it out alive. she hasn't heard from him in 2 months and fee is the worst. i haven't heard anything about what's going on underground. i'm hoping that someone will be able to give me some information until tuesday community workers and mine is had been coordinating or risk you if it and they've been using basic tools groups, a police and this mutual thought it's a difficult, i'm extremely slow process and they say that they only able to bring up one person at a time. that's why these community members are hoping that the government's risk takes him very quickly and that they are able to start the risk of being dodge of groups

of 5 to 6 width is at a time the government risk process could take a few days to officially get underway, risky workers must bring in heavy equipment and see a way of rebel from the site. is despised, they spinning it, which is the process i didn't take for the most to do this. because no one is the number. would you mean that a drum stick to the process that they're going to use can take it would be $6660.00 would be to 45 minutes instead. so the process of keeping you mean, i don't want to keep these in the meantime. those underground and they loved ones had been given simple message, be patient help is on the way sign hillcrest back in janice. but now after returning from that gold mine and i asked her earlier whether the legal mind is, are actually trumps to well, i'm yeah, it's a yes and the know,

depending on who you actually speak to from the perspective of the sub african police, they believe that the workers awesome the avoiding or reese, and they said that they should come to the surface of the own accord. police have been asked why they don't go underground to get the, the, the illegal mine will cause and they said that due to the conditions underground, the high level of heat, noxious gases that are also in these old abandoned minds. they say for police to go and retrieve the the, the illegal mind is under respect from the perspective of the loved ones and from some community members that we spoke to. they believe that the police should actually make an effort. and they argue that the mind is infect, attract due to the timeframe of the police blockades on fuel food entering the shaft. and some of those people they say,

haven't really received decent meals in as many as 2 weeks. and those who have been brought to the ground about 12 since last week, they have come up quite weak and have told the community members about the situation underground. they say that many people are extremely deandre to some are in need of urgent, maybe co pay some lines in need of h i b medication, which they haven't received in some time. and almost all i need of food. and that's why the community members have lobbied the government to say that the needs to be a risk effort to retrieve the mind as well. of course, categorized as a legal mind is not for the view as might not know. illegal mind is ok is a train that we've been seeing over the past few years yet in south africa. many of the people who were previously worked in the formal mining sick to. but as a result of mine closures have now gone into this informal, elicit a sick tough the market using these skills that they learn through full employment

to now feed to this in the city trade. and why do they do that, diane? i mean, how profit profitable is this kind of look as well? mostly because they on many jobs available and because of limited skills. we heard from, from the lady that i spoke to when putting together that package. she told me that her husband had joined the legal mining sick to because he was struggling to get other work. he was initially doing handyman type of work, but he had a very limited of the skills. so africa has quite an extensive unemployment crisis, which has to be growing over the past few years. and also the has been a situation where many mines have closed down. the actual formal sector has shrunken significantly since 2019. so in a way, it's a cocktail of these factors that are pushing many people into this elicit trade. of course, it is something that is quite dangerous. in many cases, even the,

those were running the industry, carry weapons and on known to have also killed those in the binding sector. but those who are working in this illegal mining work are prepared to take that risk due to not having many of the options available. and just briefly, diane, do you think the forcing the illegal work is out of this mind? could prevent the problem from a rising elsewhere. certainly not it's, it's a problem that is mushroom being we'll have a reading mushroom to across the country. the police say that in the past few months since december last year, they were arrested as many as 15000 illegal minus. as you can see, that's quite a large number. and quite a big operation that they writing. but the, the circumstances leading to people entering this work of quite complex and possibly the solution would have to be more complex. been simply a police operation. dealing with other issues like the high end improvements level

and also social issues around these communities without many disused mike then hook or pushing from job to how does the diane thank you so much for that or without you're up to date. i might need to have some, thanks for your company. have a lovely day. the

sort of story that i try and sort of the night that you do sense of how close we are. and how much influence are as hard as an active if they're looking to drum up support for more environmental protection and a low carbon lifestyle. but just how effective are their efforts? eco, india. next on d, w. and his own, i used to think that plus i swanner we know c, a has returned to the baltic states,

the fear of most of the power the modem says he is a tossed and custodians not yet, and miscellaneous their independence from rush. the people here expect from the future a trip through the baltic states, inputs and set out in full on d, w. the in the wind waiting stream is to ensure ice regression rate and burned in south africa as well with disabilities more likely to release the job or the lack lives matter. protest shine a spotlight on racially motivated police by the same sex marriage has been legalized discrimination. we all because like

the, there are some, well wait for things to change and then there are some who make it helpful. and today we are talking about the laughter. hello and welcome. i am sounds, you've got the body and you all watching equally. and we are living in times where things are changing as an unforeseen face. everything from climate from technology is rapidly evolving and at the forefront of many of these positive changes are strong individuals who are looking to what's the future. and in today is episode we
