Russias opposition. After the death of her husband, deluxe, say noble. Ne. Earlier this year the money keeps mckinnon. Great to have you with us in georgia, thousands of people have been taken to the streets to protest the bill that could threaten media freedom. Im the royal georges hopes of joining the European Union protest as opposed as well. Many adults a russian low. Thats because meet moscow use a similar legislation to cub independent news organizations and groups critical of the kremlin European Union and the United States have enlarged georgia to interrupt for legislation that the countrys Prime Minister has rejected us criticism, saying its meddling, has filled the sometimes violent protests earlier i spoke with the president of georgia, so low may is or i be should be who finds himself increasingly at all with the governing policy. With so many people in georgia opposed to this bill, i ought to, if she thinks it will become a little whether something could happen to stop it. Yes sir, i really need to be slow as a feature. All those that are being taken by the government in the recent period and that are going against the letter and the students of the recommendations that were offered by the European Union to open to pay the way for the opening of negotiations. But its now very clear that to be slow, which is at rest and little by essence, because its the way russia has managed to really reprice said the senior society, thats a big overman tiers trying, trying to present to the partners of georgia as ages of the lucian, as those are the trying to over. So the government and keeping the side of them to on russia as it gets closer now to be on your friends. So that is becoming increasingly clear that its not only the rest and move that is the problem. The problem is a russian government or government that is prone to making concessions to russia and to turn the orientation of this country towards russia. And that is what the best february of this country is protesting. Gibbs not only below is a symbol, but the reality is that the country saying we want your result are your offend shooter, which is close at hand. Were going to defend it, as well as our independence. Were not going to give him. Youre also saying to all parts and there isnt that. So here is that stage not only the future of georgia, but either way, the future of europe and its strengths. Madam president , can i ask you the government tried to pa, similar legislation last year. Help us understand why the ruling georgia dream policy wants this little so much. I as i dont know what is clear is the light to, to us to the jordan population. And they have like 12 boxes. And they have said that they were strolling below and that they would not re present, you know, their line goes to all of that. They have either pointed that received their own population, why theyre doing it. It doesnt make any sense in political terms. Its no longer what could have been said earlier that they are trying to save their power. Today doesnt make any sense, but to please must go and the one center we cannot accept the georgia became. Busy a candidate to the European Union that sees very close at times of the negotiations of i didnt that sees that the cases is no longer uh these are gardner and that was preserved for us. Yeah. Yeah, thats of what this please. Its costco and industries. Is those that dont, dont clearly, since the speech up we started dentistry appearing as serving multiple you said yourself that the vast majority of trojans want the country to move closer to the west to join the you. How will people react, how angry will people be if this bill comes of a closer to policy and whats gonna happen as well . Theyre very angry, but there was the same time. Theres a reason to believe you see this use such as protesting, completely destroyed. And we continue to do so people, theyre very aware of the risk that exist in the country that has the each territories 20 percent occupied by russia. But at the same time, they will not be in the either independence or their new york in the future. This country has been fighting for 26th century for its independence, and thats how this country has survived. Since, you know, these country has always shared the values that are now cold, your p n a. And we are these transactions and the stroke tree as always, foods for its freedom. And i want to use this, unfortunately to uh, to send to the conversations that are 50 the statements that are made on the german side. And especially the president s of the store, and it says for me to the stock and many others. And we know that to germany as well. Now your pin partners are decided just of georgia and of your pin, georgia. So you couldnt and visit, for example, a possible compromise, something but might satisfy the protest is on the streets as well as the ruling policy. I dont think it exists because the compromise was the result of the lower type and once and again, the average range reduced to turn in beach wine and they have adopted another half a dozen laws including one that makes georgia and im sure im sure forge russian or the guards that are sometimes and so all of that is extraordinary, preoccupied and, and i think that youre getting partners that should change the right to measure of what is happening here and see that today. And until the election on these days. Tricky rule that essentially to roll up towards elections where the door to people wouldnt be able to say what they are to say. We need the attention to 10 years ago and im president the ukranian government once or twice a ties with most go. But people thats up to the streets in process that was known as the might on revolution. Is this a similar moment . So you will country . Oh, i did look at similar. We havent gotten really is to everything thats a train has gone through. We have got too many times with guns through wars the so we are yes, there is apparently these between all the web has a happening, the new queen over the past the chaise and recently. And george happens with all of our individual pass and all pass. This time leads towards these selections. He looks to barry, which would be the type of furniture and the do you want your or do you want fresh though . And im confident of what is the answer of georgia. Solomon is obviously the president of georgia. Many thanks for your time. Thank you for speaking to the w. Thank you. I are eligible for an office has summoned a top russian envoy and responds to a cyber attack last year. Heck is talking to the email accounts of leading politicians from the governing social democrats. Russia has denied any involvement in the german fern, minnesota, and im in a bad book. Hes on a trip to a straight here at the moment, made it clear who was responsible to turn in to be considered and be, give me quite to because i had to do this type of attack to a group called a between 28 boston. We just verified the military intelligence over so fresh um but in other words, the states sponsor suggestions 5, but a dock 10, many 5 out all of us. So this isnt actually due to an acceptable and well have consequences like dw political correspondence. Lemon young is covering the story for us milestone for more about germanys allegations against russia. Yeah, well this unit a p t 28 stands, but adults persistent, correct . 28 is potholes. Russias military intelligence organization, the g o u, and in this case, the investigation has shown that they were involved in hacking the email accounts of senior members of the social democratic policy. Here in germany, thats sounds slow. Ive seltzs policy a, but theyre a known quantity. Theyve been accused in the past. We also have involvement in a hacking attack against the Computer System of the gym and parliament back in 2015 at. And the you is saying that theyve also been involved recently in as Cyber Attacks against states institutions and the number of countries such as poland, sweden as deliberately to a near, into the back. Yeah. And so, you know, this is a known organization. And so for that in that sense, the accusation disclosable dw, simon young, the lets take a quick look and now as some of the, of the story is making headlines around the world. And china has launched a mission to retrieve samples from the fall side of the moon. China 6 lifted off from the country southern most points find on island.

At least 29 people have been killed in flooding in the southern brazil, off to heavy right in schools deadline slides stones let to massive devastation and left over 300000 people. Without that tricity president luis, unnecessarily to silver travel to the region, to meet with rescue will cause im the families of those affected of the United Nations has declared may the 3rd will press freedom day and dw, this chosen a reluctant champion from russia for its own freedom of speech award eula and of all, naya she is a full selection of all these widow. He died earlier this year and then ill take prison on his death was widely seen as orchestrated by the russian government. And of all my affairs, the award with the russian Anti Corruption foundation, thats a fruit her late husband found it. You didnt have all my a continues to fight against susans russia of the earlier this year. She costs to ballots in process president ial election at the embassy in berlin. An election with any re, low position, had long been dealt with 5 lot to me put in the following the day of alexi and about me in an optic. Okay. No problem. The opposition has been old, but decimated in russia. And the arab parents is usually involved in the its not her role. Shes taken on by choice, but by necessity. Just 12 days after her husbands day, she addressed the you know, make this and stress but which includes my husband. I like see now why they when he saw theres i think see was tortured for 3 years. She was starved in the tar needs tone. So collado from the outside world and denied visits, phone calls, and then even the letters. And then they told him, julian about the trained as an economist and with that, a bang before marrying alexa in about in the, in 2000. And ivonya was long, a quiet supporter of her husbands Anti Corruption. It fits, she was as close as political adviser and by his side as he went to court on prison. Numerous times on charges. Prominent critics say with from top a set price law group. When of on the was poisoned in 2020. While her husband was fighting for his life in a hospital in siberia, she issued a public. Lets do a lot to me putin and let the Pressure Campaign to allow her husband to be floating, to gemini for treatment. When alexa inevitably returned to russia in 2021, the Police Arrested him and detained eulley and a volunteer separating the couple of good. She long shunned the spotlights, but after her husbands harsh imprisonment and death, she vowed to continue the fight against the kremlin. Vladimir putin has a new vocal critic, not afraid to make use of her freedom of speech files for him and gone to ranko from dw, his russian service. What the award signifies, the union of all naya and to the legacy of her late husband, who i think it means a lot of course, its an acknowledgment of what she and her team are doing. And of course, its also, and it cannot acknowledgment for her husband who died in prison either that as weve heard in the report, that she believes that he was killed by the rational charges directly or indirectly. And she was on his side and they are continuing to look for russia from abroad. Now, she said she will take over his job. Uh, it is still for her to decide how she will do it. But at the moment, as we speak um, there are millions and millions of views offer a new documentary and posted to them a few days ago. And youtube by her team and the on ticket options committee. Its a documentary about the rise of logic reporting to power russian present. And it is very, very popular. A lot of people in russia ended up rolled up talking about it. Okay. Does it really come through though . I mean, does this penetrate Russian Society to the extent that its changing mines as well . There is a limited possibility of penetrating the Russian Society because the russian societies under strong control of propaganda or of, of the russian authorities. It is dangerous to oppose the coming policies in russia. And since dressing basically new grain. Theres the russia, the, the permit has its, has increased in its grief on power and water. So its really dangerous. You can be in prison for over 10 years, or you have to leave the country, or you have to be silent. But the documents we have mentioned is the way of communicating with Russian Society. So youtube, so all the channels and this is one of the whole show also what, what torture valley is doing and continuing to do the domains room and on try and co that. Now on this press freedom day dw is currently banned in belarus, but it isnt just d w thats being targeted. Many belarus engine lists of now fled the country.

Dont forget that a rose independent on the list of treats as like political prism this a record of breaking heat waves, sweeping across pots of southern and eastern asia. Many countries have recorded the hottest april on record millions of people in india or bangladesh, the philippines, and other countries in the region of baffling publishing heat. Temperatures of over 40 degrees celsius have forced School Closures and some regions. Thats a 104 degrees fahrenheit.

Coming in the seas like these will have to find ways to adopt in the years ahead assigned to say Climate Change is increasing the frequency and duration of extreme hes events. I also environmental lawyer and climate activist raphael, im about the long term effects of heat waves, particularly how scorching temperatures affect the eco systems. This last april was the hottest in recorded history, and we are approaching the coolest some of the rest of our lives. Heat waves are going to impact crop productivity around the world. This will lead to ford shortages and increasing food prices. Heat waves are going to damage the eco systems i live in south asia, which is home of the him to go to them and him all in mountain ranges. The 3rd, on the largest 3rd largest collection of fresh water in the world, which supplies up to 16 trans boundary rivers which go dry up as a result, leading to watch availability shortages for agriculture for energy, and also for domestic consumption. The mass is really, really, i mean, thats a big deal and isnt that youll saying that thousands, millions of people could be without wasa within the coming years . Is that rise . Yes, that we faced, extreme walter shortages Going Forward isnt more. It has reported that if we reach 2 degrees of global warming, which side to say that we really by the middle of the century, up to 65 percent of those list has been met, bound that we have heat waves in urban areas. I live in buckets done. Were in 2014. 0 one. We keep the weve cleaned over a 1000 lives unless we start doing things to make sure urban areas especially have heat. Weve management plans and you know, predictions for the citizens. Im afraid, millions of people, it could be at risk of increasing temperatures. So roughly what is it that governments need to be doing now to tackle this Climate Crisis . It was the 1st and foremost, governments around the world have to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. The, the, the gases that trap the suns heat in the atmosphere and cause global warming. But i dont know whether we can do this because presently theres enough Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere to lock in a 1. 5 degree temperature increased by the end of this decade. That said, we must take measures now to protect people and animals and ecosystems from devastation. For example, for crops we need to have cheaper resistant seeds developed by scientists and in urban areas. As i mentioned, heat Wave Management plans, you know, places for people to go away, the shade and shelter, and beyond that also electricity to provide for climate cooling. We need to change the way our cities are, so that theres less cement to being used in mot, trees, and shade. And can i ask you a rough im in industrialized countries are responsible for the majority of Greenhouse Gases. Are they doing enough to help them move on or bold developing countries . But the United NationsFramework Convention on Climate Change was signed in 1992 with the objective of stabilizing Greenhouse Gas emissions. And unfortunately, we all know to produce more Greenhouse Gases since then we havent all of history before. We know that industrialized nations, you know, industrialize economy is a go losing off our boat for the majority of historical Greenhouse Gas emissions. And these countries have failed to live up. Theyre brought to their promises to the International Community to reduce the Greenhouse Gases and beyond that to provide for countries with the climate finance necessary so that they can prepare and adapt to the oncoming time of the challenges that they face the be plenty of money for welfare for sound for ukraine for is right, but not for Climate Change and folks, im into resilience projects, rafael, im environmental lawyer, employment at is.
