the mapped out shows the geo political reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube the, this is dw new years, live it from berlin. tonight, ukraine dismissed as warnings of a major russian missile striking, calling the thread psychological warfare. the us and other western nations close their embassies and keep in response to that threat. equipment says, ukraine's use of american long range missiles has increased the stakes of this conflict. significantly, also coming up at the new in climate conference developing nations, demanding trillions of dollars for richer countries to help them cope with global warming, with china at the top of the list and, and you can as opposition leader charge with compromising national security. he's a decision was apparently abducted days earlier,

and human rights groups say they're outreach the fiber and golf. it's good to have you. with this ukraine has dismissed warnings of a major russian missile strike. blaming a psychological warfare operation that ukraine says is being carried out by moscow, with the ukrainian capital on alert. several western nations, including the united states, closed their embassies and keep in response to the threat. just a day earlier, ukraine used us made missiles known as attack hymns for the 1st time to hit an end munitions depot inside of russia. the kremlin says that this marks a new phase of the war, and it is failing to respond accordingly. as well as allowing ukraine to use the

missiles, the bite and white house is also given. keep the go ahead to use american made landmines, the us defense secretary lloyd austin says this is a positive step there, fabricating their own in our personal land mines right now. the land mines that we would look to, to provide them with the landlines that, that are not persistent. you know, we can, we can control when they were a self self activate, self designate in the and that makes it a, you know, far more safe for eventually than the things that they are creating on their own. i spoke with them until the sucker, most of she's a senior, liked her in security and development and keys college london. and she told me more about the non persistent landlines that the us defense secretary was talking about . and i think what, what is meant is, are these non lines very kind of self destruct or they have,

are sure to sort of live span because the sort of they lose the battery charge. and from what i've read, you know, they could, they could be active, be between sort of from 4 hours to maybe 2 weeks. so they're not on lines that, that are active for, for long, long periods of time. and therefore, they are a lot less dangerous. i mean, the question that arises in my respect is, in this respect, is you know, to what extent companies to be considered deficient. because if they have these live span, then what you would expect is that the russians might wait until this live span is over. so i think we need to find out a bit more about the technicalities for our job. what is clearly said if my minds are deployed, you know, they, they can help to lead me to a certain extent. also these, these russian advances, especially in areas where there's been quite successful and i was around go to that, don't thoughts on, on potentially separate easier v underwood training bands,

the use of the types of land lines that we're talking about. and we know that the united states and russia, they're not signatories to this treaty. ukraine is. so how well ukraine justify using these landlines? a really nice thing that ukraine is in a good position to explain why needs these land mines where it is facing a major russian on snowed the russians themselves of mind significantly, you know, in almost spots of your brain and terry tree. the mining that the russians have carried out is extremely substantial to the point that you wouldn't need just one make on is i'm to sort of to make them, you know, prove all but you need many different mechanisms to clean up the areas that are under no russian controls, so it would make sense from a ministry point of view for the ukrainians also to use them. and i think that they have already mentioned that they would, you know,

have 44 of you sort of emergency reasons to you know, to, to use and, but there's made clear that they would not deploy them and then see populated areas . so i mean, primarily in the areas of the front lines where at the moment they are very few people living in these areas. but the might, it might have been, i mean it's surprising to me that this has not been done previously. because if we look at the mines, thieves, the russians upside down, these were one of the elements that really made very hard for you bring in storage phones. now we know that russians are less concerned about c. you're not about military casualties, run the ukrainians are but still, you know, gotten sort of had to stop or, you know, to concentrate their bonds on certain areas right there and not so many landlines and then make them more vulnerable to attacks. let me ask you to what about the american position here um, in june of 2020 to us president by the now and stay near global ban on anti

personnel land line used by the united states. so what do you think prompted this shifting policy? i mean, we've been seeing a lot of shifting and his policies in the past week as well. i think not just the americans, but to those of our score, you know, a phone ring, these will very close. see on many, you know, made me commented as we, we are coming to realize that, i mean some of these constraints, the same applies to cluster bones. you know, in theory it's, it's a very good it's, it's a very important, you know, as long as when, when we've tried to band vase these kind of munitions, cluster bombs, long lines because of the impact that they have on civilians are especially non mine's many years often so also they have a name, but for example, on the use of now i'm done agriculture. but when you are a boy, you know, there are moments when if you do not employed these kind of weapons, you are

a disadvantage. i'm now ukrainians have limited. you know, limited weapon re, so i think that the kind of work for me that they can use unfortunately despite the challenges you know, mind play to their advantage on the long term might say bundle does you bring a large so we need to see if they send the perspective of the broad context of okay the most out from kings college london is always we appreciate your time in your analysis. thank you. the g 20 summit in rio de janeiro has wrapped up with you as president joe biden's. sudden reversal of us policy and ukraine overshadowing the official agenda of finding poverty and climate change. result, you president luis, and i'll see a little of the silver closed out the summit by urging wealthy nations to re forward their targets to achieve net 0 emissions within 5 to 10 year. develop agents have historically produced the biggest share of greenhouse gases. the german

chancellor, all off schultz through you see right there. he returned to berlin earlier today. the drawing me now is booked on you isn't your he's a former german diplomat and many people will know him as the former chairman of the munich security conference. he joins me now from your age and area where he has been attending the g 20 summit. mister ashton gary is good seeing you let me just ask you, were there was this summit a success in your opinion? well, let me, let me uh clarify. one thing i was of course, not a participant in the g 20 summit as such as the munich security conference with which i was associated. i had just been invited by our brazilian host to organize in munich security conference in the margins of this

summit. and this is what we've been starting to do last night and today and tomorrow, right here in real. so we are discussing the takeaways from the summit. we're discussing the questions of what worked, what did not work, and where are the differences? what will the g 20, if anything be able to produce going forward next year when the next summit means in south africa? well what, what are you hearing? this is about the, the, the suitability of the g 20 somebody. that format isn't still fit for purpose. in a world where the, the global sales is rightfully so, demanding gets placed at the table. well, i would say my answer to a question is yes and no. a yes. having a group, a large group like this, of major countries, including china. it goes south africa,

including certainly brazil and others is useful to, you know, and in principle, so it's good for they talk and it's good that they clarify what divides them and what unites them. there was some positive decisions of climate and related issues that were less positive outcomes. let me be very frank about it. on some of these conflict issues like grain and gaza, i mean israel 11, none of the palestinians, et cetera. so we need to acknowledge we in the west that there is a kind of a double standard problem which is weighing down on us on the variability of the west. uh, let me put it very bluntly, if we believe that we should, that we can demand rightfully from countries of the global sob to support us in

confronting russia. and it's brutal aggression war of aggression that goes so great . and we have a problem responding to questions coming from the global south when they, uh, you know, respond to us by saying, okay, but what about your willingness to support our views when it comes to the situation in the middle east? that's what i mean by double standards. there's some issue, and this will not go away quickly. it is a problem of the credibility of the western world of the democratic west of, in, in, in, in general. and my hope if i may add. yeah, my hope is that as 2024 will go down in history as a year, bloody war and conflict. i have a little bit of optimism that 2025 may actually turn out in the course of this coming year as a country that will be remembered by history as opposed. ready or country not,

it was made the, these mores can be ended in the course of 2025. that's the whole. i know that a lot of people were trying to pick your brain there in brazil, particularly when we're talking about security issues via politics. but i'm also sure that people have been trying to get your opinion too about what's happening here in your home country, germany, you know what the situation of the economy is and you know what the situation of the government is and be did you have people coming up to you and saying both gone, what in the world is going on in berlin? you are, i mean the, the of the timing couldn't be better. let me put it this way. but sometimes in, in, in, in politics it's not in your hands. so we have this issue that we are now going into a full fledged election campaign. and it may, you know,

it may actually take until the east to recess or, or later into the late spring until we have a new government formerly in place. in other words, this is awkward germany is not, can i make these speaking not in a, in a, in a, in a good position. we are losing employment of our economy is not growing currently . in other words, they are huge challenges on economic front. they are even large and challenges on the european and on the european security. a front leadership is in high demand. how can of germany and france and hopefully others like poland and italy and as how can we establish re established stronger leadership within the european union to all these geostrategic issues, including the royal grain. if a germany without

a formal formerly installed government in, in, in meant for many weeks to come. so this is not good, but we have to live with it and we'll get over it. and hopefully by the spring we will have a government with a program. and hopefully, a sense of a vision of how to take the european union forward. let me add one point. the future health of the european union depends to a huge percentage of the continued ability of germany to finance the we are buys a significant margins a lot. just give her a provider of, of, of, of funding to the european union. if that ability of germany is going to be diminished for the common reason is going forward, the entire your being project is going to suffer from that. in other words,

there's not only about the wells and the 1st batch of the germans henderson. it's also about the future of the european project and about the security of our continent, ms. tracing. and before we run out of time, one more question was donald trump. but his return to the white house was that the big elephant in the room there in rio this past week, as well as course of course, the, the re election of donald trump with the election. now of donald trump, the raises the expectations on my head. but craze concerns of the other end. everybody here in rio is, is discussing the news about the nominations that have been coming out of the trunk campaign headquarters of the names have been a

a and had been dropped. what do these names mean? is this good or bad for us in europe? what about the, for the economy? what about the relation between the united states and china? so that if you put it in correctly, that was the big elephant in the, in the room. but i think, quite frankly, i have not heard from anyone here, neither from the latin american participants, nor from my european friends, a sense of panic. i think everybody believes that we had and we will on the basis of what happened 8 years ago, we will be able to work with ad to handle the kinds of challenges that are about to come from the drum, from that you coming from administration. and we will need to work with the drug administration in order to maintain a healthy, trans atlantic business relationship, but also to maintain a healthy,

strong and capable of the nato alliance, capable of detouring our adversaries, including a particular route to veneration. i think the atmosphere here was, was, was a not negative, but they were, of course, some concerns are both going issue and joining us from review janera, he's been at the g 20 summit this week. mr. is, you know, we appreciate your time in here analysis tonight. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. nice talking to you are, let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . rushes parliament has back to legislation banding, the promotion of so called the child free. lifestar. lawmakers also blocked or russian children being adopted by citizens of countries that allowed gender transitioning is the latest in a series of laws promoting what the kremlin calls,

a husband name don't tech, he's a base to the 1st thing they would love to know who is the spine this month. one would call him the most consistent, outspoken, or position politician in uganda. he's a pose prison charges us prison showed him 7, his government for over 20 as they fell apart in 2000 and suspend basically has been strongly opposed to his government. is to that guess to 2001 to the game against him in 2006 to the game against him. in 2 of the elections, all these elections formerly took to basic. he has lost to them, but depto this has refused to, to accept the result of saying that they've been fraudulent. he has inspired many of position politicians in uganda, and this to has about the influence is to has the prospector in the opposition side cause generally you can display i know that in a leg, just keep damping,

followed by an appearance in front of the military court and the, the circumstances behind disappear. extraordinary, why have the uganda and authorities? why have they gone to these lengths? i think for people viewing the so on this time didn't get from outside. you've gotten to too many of them. it sounds extraordinary, but too many people in uganda, it may not be extra or do you not a doctor this j himself? this is no to the 1st time that is presented before the military quotes. many of the opposition politicians have also been presented in the same court. here's a lawyer. i mean change that to the quote. the military quote does not have the jurisdiction, basically to himself. when he appeared before the military type, you know, he told them he is in the wrong place. he demanded that it's his rights to be tried as a civilian or in the civil courts. he's

a lawyer maintains the same civil uh the people including leading will positions. he gets that the big guy will be wayne, who, whose real name is by trouble. and he has also condemned this many of the position members of parliament, according to him in please me. and let me just ask you, just before we run out of time, how are people in you get it? how are they reacting to this news? and i can hear behind you there is a football game tonight. so if they're not watching football, i mean, are they talking about this story? yes, there's been so much talk around the rest of the check. he's basically just starting from his wife were brooks, and he was on the intimate when she said that the husband is missing as being abducted in kenya. there were lots of feedback to hop post lots of feedback that also mixed young people who supports the government and the us governance to become, to let the government do whatever it's meant to do. but the position of maintaining

this, the saying that this is not right, that is, there wasn't, can you legally bringing it back to your gun and presenting him before a military quote is unlawful, its illegal demand should be set free. julie julie is moved on board with the latest it tonight choose. we appreciate your reporting. thank you. authorities in south africa are involved in a weeks long stand off at a mine that is no longer in use. police have cut off food and water supplies to force out hundreds of illegal miners searching for lift over gold. it's not clear whether the men are trapped or refusing to come out and face arrest. des diane hawker, reports now from that abandoned by to columbus has down this hold. hundreds of mine was up indeed to be checked. the mine is

a cold. sometimes i must loose the translates to mean those were 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 mind is above ground. police say this is part of why the plans to cook violent crime, which they say is driven by the go 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 reduce because that is the proof when

we look at the crime statistics that shows that areas where they use indigo mining operations based 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 she is the worst. i haven't heard anything about what's going on under ground. i'm hoping that someone will be able to give me some information until tuesday community workers. and mine is had been coordinating a risk to if they've been using basic tools groups a police it. and this mitchell's law is a difficult and extremely slow process,
