russia wants to bring your up to its knees without firing a shot. who to sign visual dots may 14th on dw, the this is dw news coming to you live from berlin. and i majored the escalation of the trade board. china and the united states agreed to slash reciprocal terrace. after high level talks in geneva over the weekend, us officials say each side has agreed to lower terrace by 115 percentage points for 90 days. also coming up ukraine's present challenges vladimir putin to meet in person for peace talks in turkey. blood mills lands he's offered comes after a proposal by the russian leader for direct negotiations between moscow and pete this thursday. the

hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. china indeed i'd states have agreed to drastically reduce tariffs on both sides. the announcement comes after a weekend of trade talks in switzerland, us treasury secretary said the discussions were robust while adding that both sides showed great respect and was represented their national interest well. aging and washington had been locked in a trade war that has threatened to up in the global economy. but the 2 countries now agreed to suspend most terms for 90 days. china, it says it will retain 10 percent tariffs on us goods, while the us will continue with 30 percent tear us. a consensus from both delegation this weekend is neither side once a couple weeks. and what had occurred with these very high tariffs, as investors for said,

was animal box. the equivalent of an embargo and neither side wants that. we do want trade, we want more balance trade. and i think the both sides are committed to achieving that and tape ferguson from dw business joins us here in the studio for more k. to break this down for us. what does this agreement mean? well, it is a huge, the escalation goes, it's essentially a broad 90 day tire for proof. and the commitment to talk more, which is analogous to the offer the united states has made to every other country that impose tire fun. i think if you think back to the aggression on the drama of liberation day, the so called liberation day, this couldn't really be interpreted as a nature backpedaling on the part of the united states. and i think the reason for that is between mazda like reaction, we saw it to those initial tire was, which really undermine trust, not just in the american economy, but in the dollar more broadly. phyllis reduction in tariffs is just for 90 days,

at least to, to begin with. where does it go from here or more talks plan, more talks our plans? and i think what's really important to remember is that we have been here before during trump 1st administration, china in the united states agreed to phase one of a trade deal on that committed china to buying a whole lot more american goods. now then the panoramic happened on global trade in general was disrupted massively. and if we compare the deficit as the american trade deficit now, as compared to 2020 was trying it is marginally lower, though. it's still about $295000000000.00. so it's still drastic, but i think essentially the issue here is that, broadly speaking, america is a country that consumes and china is a country that makes this is changing. but that fundamentally is the problem. you're never going to have power see, all got bases. what does this tell us k to about the balance of power? now between the us and china, i think what it tells us is that these 2 countries need each other and much more

than they would like to admit. in april, china is export days. that was extremely strong on us because it re directed a lot of its trade with southeast asia and europe. fundamentally, as i said earlier, the issue here is that the global economy is so deep entwined, an interval line. and so america, as a government on those of people borrow as a whole lot more than other countries, do. another lies it to grow disproportionately as well. there are pros and cons to this. it means that american exports are less competitive, but it also means that it can grow faster than other countries on what we have seen now, is that trust in the american bar and its ability to pay that money box has eroded . and when we see that the, the threat of the entire system collapsing is other than i think this outcome is a reflection without reality happening don't. okay, thank you so much. k, purchased them from dw business ukraine and

its european allies, had called fort russia to implement other policies fire starting today. instead, they got a new proposal from russian president vladimir putin for direct talks between the 2 sides in turkey, this thursday, ukraine's present what means zalinski says he'll be there in person and has urged president preteen to do the same. as the offer comes after being pushed to agree to talk by us present, donald trump, the sum of new grains, ukraine's president has laid down a challenge to realizing that food soon enough is making this offer. following the russian presidents their own proposal for direct talks between the 2 countries in eastern tool this week to put them on, we await a ceasefire. this proposal is on the table full as full and conditional ceasefire. one that the last long enough to provide and necessary foundation for diplomacy could bring peace significantly closer. a young i will be in turkey this thursday, so may 15th storage and i expect booting to come to turkey as well in person also.

and i hope that this times, but you won't be looking for excuses as to why he cannot make it interesting. and we are ready to talk, look to end this war thursday, just to be turkey to a storage you must do floods the middle points and blames ukraine for interrupting previous talk centers. some of those that ended abruptly off the russians invasion of ukraine in february 2022 boots and pulled reports us in the kremlin early on sunday. the trasha is now ready to reopen negotiations for those right. mean that's throwing that unless you to you, we want to serious talks with ukraine. the goal is to eliminate the root, causes them to come to the community and to reach an enduring and long lasting piece, loading it. they'll go through each know who attends words will met with duration by ukrainians on the streets of keith. solutions to some lady in the kitchen is a coward. he is afraid of us. every thing he does is to save himself. why should we

trust him? now? we can tell him it showed and is trying to buy time. it is just empty tours of no consequence. mutual one noticeable in a way for 3 minutes means the carpet pause, but obviously we could do that as well. but the weekends, diplomatic discussions release of responds for ukrainian troops on the front line was been no laptop in the fights of since the law or what is to and russia us real victory day for the meeting on new york. there is no trees lock on rights are dying . we left off the timeliness behind the law, 5 d as an assistant. so that's really nothing you find. you find as long as the hans are the same as it we will move forward with going on our side, you to get rid of it. but and we are kind of funny to send even by so called tuesday and see spiders, that they are pulling in their day munitions and their people are not. they are constantly seizing off your bill model as deceased ukrainians to view is clear,

the debris offering you'd rushing showing in the sea to a person that can only hold the talks. proposing is symbol. we'll bring along a way to break through the w as nit connelly is following developments from keep with all the behind the scenes maneuvering going on. i asked him if he sees a cease fire happening it is not happening here on the ground. and you kindly be speaking to military units, all along the front lines. they all saying nothing has changed is the same as it was a week ago as it was during boots and so called true school, the 9th of may picture day celebrations, and it hasn't changed today after that ultimatum from european leaders. so the real question is now, do your opinions, have the leverage to actually do what they said they would do on saturday, which is to up sections of russia for not joining this unilateral at this, you know, 30 day unconditional ra that cease by giving moment the tray to ukraine, are they gonna apply that pressure then meet meeting in london today? the foreign ministers of those european nations and the printing uh from this will

also be that i think that is going to be crucial for european basically credibility in all of this process. this was all about you're trying to show that it is taking the initiative and not just waiting for things to be decided. he must go to washington. so that is kind of thing. everyone is focusing on here in ukraine, and they don't want to be distracted by these efforts from moscow to offer jokes, which seemed to be about basically money in the water and getting away from choking by this. these fine sketchup on a few other stores making headlines around the world today. the curtis stand workers party, or p k. k has announced it's to end its armed conflict with turkey. as follows, a call in february by the band militant groups imprisoned founder abdullah. god shall on to disband in the end does arm the p. k. k has been engaged in arm conflict since the 1980s, calling for a courtesy state where an autonomous region, in se turkey, a millions of filipinos are heading to the poles in mid terms in the mid term elections. the ballot is widely seen as

i'm outside this the palace. so as soon as you said there's a huge police presence. and that's because speed meters from israel receive very high security when the visit valid on that is this area has always sealed off the moment. the 2 presidents are inside of had the military owners that the president isaac had sought received on arrival to men. and i am having a private meeting together and president issac hetzel has into his eyes meet us admission to the gas boot kid the policy in the next hour he will, the 2 prisoners will address the media and i get some remarks mocking this of ashley lee to dave, the 2 men will visit a very important memorial here in belin platform, 17 is where tens of thousands of jewish bellingers would be ported to concentration camps under the nazis president has a role for me. young people, john and honestly these, and this is really a mock up the shared history that the,

a 2 guys and relations with the have strain since about 47 attack. and we'll see that that's characterized in this kind of pulling here in germany. there's a lots of criticism of these where the government not screwing in recent years. and so while the excess of really symbolically important meeting, it also comes at a time when, when it's difficult, there's a lot difficult issues to be discussed between the $22.00 nations and the 2 liters and physicians. but i do thank you very much. that was our course of correspondence there. matthew, more down at the uh, at least a rash or rather at slush, bellevue and berlin will be coming back to you for a special coverage, matthew, later on. so you're watching dw nose in berlin. we have a, just a reminder of our top story for you. a china and the united states have agreed to slash reciprocal terrace. that's after talks in geneva, us secretary, treasury secretary scott best and they're said each side with lower terrace by

$115.00 percentage points for 90 days. china will retain a 10 percent term with us goods on the us will continue to impose a 30 percent due date on chinese. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. the can you see is what old cars hi is have to do with you production. here's a hands on so really indeed much now on youtube, the across the origin seen the members of a cultural and religious group lived in several colonies with

a forego technology and rejects maternity, the cold mennonite. and nothing that we have no call, no radio, no cell 5, no, nothing is sleep. i'm totally against cell phones on the internet. it influences people's behavior. and ultimately large families are traditionally the foundation of these christian communities which follow a strict interpretation of the bible. the members avoid contact with the outside world speak of german dynamics. the daily life revolves around religion and manual labor, many base their own standing of the world on fundamentals. his teachings drop as in science. w those mental nordstrom for the even the existence of dinosaurs. some of my friends on the car is to nothing easier to as well,

but some secretly, just follow the rules and use technology. hard to go play outside at the risk of being ex, communicated and separated from the families, the bowman, enders, others in the talk about their experiences. i'm the precious they faced my husband abraham had a hard time living there and was considering suicide. it looks like i'm happy to be able to go on living is to you to be of the night live all those of the world, but the communities, the knowledge and see no thoughts to be more removed from society than the mennonites. elsewhere, we investigated several different color nice for months and we're eventually able to gain people's trust from the most conservative no photos, no photos to the most progressive. it's too much fun being single. yeah. i'm very

happy. i'm not married yet. the all research begins in northern origin, see not around 1200 kilometers from when a cyrus an orthodox colony of over 170 families settled here in compound the last one that caused some 20 years ago. the forest lives in the neighboring town. as a driver, he has long been one of the communities, certainly links to the outside. well, he's agreed to introduce us. yeah. same us. so man, i've been working with the colony for about 8 years. what's that? i thought i put it on in the hand. this is difficult because i mean it took me a while to tell them apart from one another. it's not easy with this and i tell them you're all the same. but blue eyes and blond hair money isn't as secure,

but oh no, no, no. but in time, by living with them, spending the whole day travelling with them, i gradually learned to tell them apart and thought so when i got away and if he found the above the easter sunday, the members of this minimize community, our church was it didn't suggest any closer to the sacred place, the end of the service leads to an impressive parade of whole strong carriages. as the families returned home, orest drives us to the home, looked on neighbour him. he's never welcomed foreigners before. the neighbor him is even agreed to let her stay in his house. the decision knows every one in this typically closed community agreed with the this is all room

like the other residents will live without running water or electricity was that was the definition of a mentor. nice. i mean, the, we meet the same life as anyone else wants to. it's just that we used to living in the countryside on the fringes of technology and all that comes with it that i lost . it's very difficult. yes. and i, they notice that we might have some wisdom wants us to go inside the house. i've got boston all across on the children are curious about our equipment, the why is the light on? why is the machines light on the

it's the record will assign everything we say can be heard. and many nights generally consider is impolite to look into each other's eyes or cameras. seem to craigslist some of the discomforts till neighborhood the 67 years old. he and his wife, susanna have 9 children and 29 grandchildren. the whole family is invited to east to lunch. i'm, i'm the families of the women have been in the kitchen since don't. they only speak clogged each or mennonite flo. german. a man must be present for the translation the what is the role of a mennonite woman? you know, you, that was so steve saw this is, you know, fussing nice looking lot washing got up and cleaning the house

and raising children to me. i guess it's very important and that's what the mother has to take care of. the just the difference between men and women as far as language is concerned, like learning spanish. yes, they never go anywhere. they stay here the common comic con. they don't have any opportunity to learn spanish we're given special permissions to film this some of these gathering this promotes the sauce of the meal. the family begins to eat without sheltering a large meal times are traditionally held in almost complete silence. women sit on

one side of the table and then on the other, on abraham presides over the table, the savory sweet dishes i'll put on the table at the same time and everyone serves themselves the . the men leave once they finish the thing and then that's the children's time. the women sleep them by agenda and age. the plates on country arms were placed on the menu remains the same. children now pro shop with strict rules, no technology and no swings, all sides in the backyard. the adults chess of to deny. i'm the children go outside to play. don't talk goose the

. the school likes the playground too and liked the church is a stairwell building. we're not allowed inside or we can hear our religious songs sung in unison. we learn this will about how the educational system works to what subject so towards. all we know is that boys typically go to school until the assessing years old and goes until the 12, the teenagers who i'm no longer in school are allowed to meet on sundays to play opiates, with strict rules. no contacts between boys and girls. and a cough you a 5 pm, the

why is the community so strict? we all the adults the young people want to get more than they saw unless they won't show the more nice and idea. and it's also difficult for young people to understand our customers. because today, everything is always changing and they don't understand why things are starting to look again. so i think one thing to keep assess what happens if you the adults discovered that young people are drinking alcohol or listening to music a gentleman's, he can see yes. who if it's forbidden, you know, they shouldn't do it, it is, in other words, the parents discover them doing it and still teach them all. that's something that the rules, they're all a, from their interpretation of the bible strict besides and just appear

box. all the rules really followed teeth, so i say to say from the to children do many things in secret and you know what children are like, is there ms. g v on how to use the the teams thoughts or feel morrissey's around the softer a few days. and the soon start breaking the rules the, the good saw. good. good. so have this radio, is this a business technology in the colony who owns this radio? and give it to me based on

the, the teams don't speak english, so they're missing the solace. double entendres. do you understand the lyrics? the, they don't seem all of the difference from average teenagers. 2 don't think of their role lowering mirror whose main concern at this age of that 1st loves really. 2 2 to has the gulf and he does it, but i'm speaking,

how did you and your girlfriend meets? what are, what did you say? did you need to get together to see a family friend? i'm telling you how did you meet or the photos that are going on marriage play is a fundamental role for the mennonites. even the bible tells them from an early age that they must have children to keep the call in the thriving from one generation to the next. a b m. o is the governor of the colony and invites us into his home. his wife makes the families codes. we know just a white label on the men's clothes, and this colony told it's the spelling of pacifism. one of the cool tenants to reject all forms of filing is poking. it's our simple to say, we don't have guns, we don't have knives and we don't kill people. that's what it needs to see.

if the woman and nice men with a symbol. yes, all of them are mennonites advocate. i agree, c t to know that of course we do. we also get angry or game. we even argue sometimes some more than others, but it's never too serious and we end up forgiving each other. the company has no police or prisons on the governor like yamaha who's been elected for 5 years. what does it mean to be a govern? now? if you've heard of it, i make sure everything is in order in the colony. it's a bit like a stewards job or like a village man is and then then i get, i have to set the limits, we meet it. otherwise. where will we go to see? so, you know, it's my daily job, but it's okay is what the,

everything's under control. the the the b m o is 1st, i'm full. most of pharma. like most men and nights. yeah. the colony phones 8000 hector's, i'm feasible without subtract. so that's why attracts us but not cause a loud and above all. why are the wheels made of metal news? it to like it's completely solid. the wheels are made of iron. otherwise it conflicts with the religion landline. that is, anything with a motor is not allowed to have rubber wheels and then the coma looked at because the chances of what time you think i left them and will not because it's a work tool, but it's not used for the road for on the other thing rather tell you is that.
