and germany need to cooperate with france. the german coalition is in the middle of the conflict internally. you have an issue when it comes to nuclear power. true for example when he announced the $100 million in defense, half of that would be spent on replenishing munitions. it will be a key part of the air force, canceled the trolls. by signing the air defense shield with 13 nato states, this is a problem because normally we see france going rogue but now we're seeing the german state trying to move away. >> largely as a result of the ukraine war. state aid to businesses and household to get them through the crisis was seen as a betrayal by france. as germany right to go at this alone? >> no. it's not very hard to see this is a violation of fair competition within the european union, subsidies, if you're talking about such a massive support program, it's hard to argue this is merely supporting businesses in a reasonable manner. this goes way beyond, when you have the same government that has not decided to keep its nuclear

it is that the germany is becoming a normal country. it does no longer feel the need to, to, to make certain concessions because of its world war to guilt. basically, to the extent that it used to make these concessions. however, death set. i think if you look at what both sides are annoyed about, you know, the solution is not necessarily so complicated to sum up, i think the solution is to try to remain within the spirits of, of european cooperation. and if you, for example, look at the 200000000000 release package mass spending by the german government to help its company's been clearly this is not in line with the single market with fair competition. so i think the french definitely have a point on the other hand, when franz is asking for price regulation, and germany warning that if you regulate the prices of gas, you may end up with no gas. i think there to look at it from the european spirits and the market mechanism. germany is more on the right side of affairs. also, when it comes to this gas pipeline, that germany would be keen

taiwan looks at germany. me, for example, i have been to title them some years ago when they wanted to establish some lay justice system. i could tell about germany, and in these times they have a late check the system, which is quite close to the german system. and so with important, doubtless cooperation, and i think china should not should not interfere in this cooperation because we strengthened democracies in germany in taiwan with this cooperation. have you had the chinese side say that you are doing in exactly that in interfering in china's internal affairs and breaching germany's own one china policy? a do c or b, your visit as being in line with germany, one china policy? are you committed to this policy of one china that does not recognize taiwan is independent. and it's important that we have this cooperation for many, many years already. and it's established that not the president of the bonus tag is going to to, to taiwan. and not a, not a members of government, but it's an established corporatio

and what if we see germany, for example, as you said america without california, for example, germanyier, i don’t know how most russian flags go out into the street. here, look every monday in germany for the industrialization of high prices, the people are dissatisfied with schultz, he laughs it all funny. here they go, it's not with a macron. here, uh, overlapping, damn it. these are the three morons of this force, as the russian folk saying says, they have strange devils, that a complete misfortune is happening, which means they will have fun supporting the ukrainian nazis. banderachen i lakes good bandera chukevich put an end to it. so, for the first time, this posture sounded loudly. how is there civil disobedience acts of civil disobedience under the german constitution when the government harms the people, they are permissible criminally, not punishable. this means autobahns can be blocked. it is possible to block the railway, that's all, well, it doesn't call. it is you , the inhabitants of western europe, who decide now to start strongly invoking the partisan movement. this i

but what would taiwan then like in return from germany? i think one of the key and top issue for taiwan based on my conversation with lawmakers here and also experts here. and they think that is a strengthening the bilateral trait ties. and they are hoping that may be some kind of discussion kim, be started through this delegation visit by the potentially exploring the possibility of establishing the bilateral trade agreement. of course, that is a years of steps that will have to be taken, but some of the experts even suggest if germany was able to actually take the 1st step with taiwan, it could even become the reference point for future e u, ty one byler bilateral trade agreement which the european parliament has actually been. bring this up over the last few months. what about the delivery of something like arms? i think of for taiwan, they are, the current government is very practical. a bell. the possibility of be essentially because the u. s. has the taiwan relations act that requires us to play that role, but there is no such law th

and this position did for germany at odds with its allies when it comes to energy deals. for example, that was dw political correspondent, manual shows the manual. thank you. but even after the german cabinet approve the deal, germany's foreign ministry sounded a warning again. it says that the chinese investment in hamburg, increased dependence on china and put european transport projects in danger. china's foreign ministry meantime, had this to say, little cooperation is mutually beneficial. all involved should be reasonable and stop speculating to digest chinese foreign ministry spokesman wang when been de speaking after germany's government approved a deal to allow a chinese shipping giant to a by a stake in the port of humbug. ah, to india now way figures shari, that it's back sliding in it's fight against malnutrition, the newly released world hunger index. now places india behind its neighbors, including bangladesh, sri lanka, and myanmar in its rankings. it's estimated that more than $3000000.00 children in india, malnourished about half of them severely. he's mor

we're going to lose one and a half 1000000. industrial jobs in germany. germany is the motor of europe's economy. if that happens, it's going to be felt in every country when germany catches a cold, it's pneumonia and the rest of the continent. now the, the fact is that the chancellor was forced to shift at least minimally on the anti nuclear policy. so they'll keep 3 plants open until next april. there's a fight from industry saying that's not adequate. when sholtes went to the middle east to try and come up with oil and natural gas that didn't work. there are limited options and now something to keep an eye on. i just was informed today that the treasury us treasury department and state department sent 3 officials to turkey to warn the turkish government about becoming too closely linked with russia. so any of these changes are going to come with a political brawl, and we'll see, to what extent the nato threat and the threat coming from the united states can keep these countries in line. can i ask you something about a germany being and the motor of, of the european economy? because th

the government here in berlin has given permission for china to invest in germany's biggest shipping container terminal. the chinese giant costco will now be allowed to buy a stake in the port of hamburg. it's a controversial deal that's going ahead despite loud cause for it not to buy the concerns of becoming more dependent on china, germany's top trading partner. so that led to a compromise elating cause co by a smaller stake day. and it had initially wanted the w political correspondent emanuel shars, joins us now from our parliamentary studios. emma, hi there. could you flesh out the details of this hamburg deal for us? well jerry, you've mentioned that this is a compromise initially. costco wanted to acquire a 35 percent stake in the operator of germany's biggest container terminal in hamburg. but the chancellor's cabinet has now agreed to a deal on a smaller stake and less than 25 percent due to a growing concerns over the consequences of such a deal, such as increasing germany's dependency towards china. but also out of security concerns with china, china's agents are presence

also, when it comes to the gas pipeline, that germany would be keen on between, you know, spain and germany, probably also france goods, rethink its, its opposition so. so these differences are, can definitely be breached. but it basically entails germany to understand that it is fine to pursue its own self interest. but it is in the self interest of germany to stick to the original spirit of, of european corporation and to the fundamentals of the of the single market. ok, let's drill down now into some of the specifics you've all mentioned them, but i'd like to focus on defense to begin with. so the defense strategy, as we've been saying is, is one issue. and commentators over in france have said that the way that berlin has chosen to go to down its own way rather than find and accord with parents. for example, when it comes to buying f $35.00 fighter jets from the united states. why would this alarm france evo? well, the, the big term which was also central for a frances presidency of the rotating you present since the beginning of this year. the 1st talk was european serenity to establis

, whether it will supply tanks or not, it's only germany that behaves passively here in germany it is really so controversial the question, well, german tanks have already been used in ukraine, and that's why it's so difficult for germany to decide, and that's why the german government would like to do it collectively so that there are several countries like which we decided to do it and then germany will do it too. well, maybe the situation will somehow change from the middle of october, because now germany is one of our main european partners, of course, for which ukraine is very grateful, but our relations could be better and some of the observers political believe that the new ambassador oleksiy makeev, who will replace andriy melnyk, will be able to give new impetus to ukrainian-german relations, you also belong to those who believe that with a new ambassador the situation in the relations between our countries can improve, well, it is good that there will be a new ambassador but i think that in general the role he sent both the old ambassador and the new one. it is not that big.

to germany, uh, and through the big one.new bypass of ukraine, we then preferred the option without transit at all. yes , andrey alexandrovich, let's clarify this again russian gas associated project yes, russian, yes, that is, instead of nord stream 1, we were offered to transport our gas from the area, respectively, the gulf of finland through the territory of the baltic states, through the territory of poland only by land. to germany, that is, the starting point is the same, we are the area of ​​​​st. estonia latvia lithuania further entrance, respectively, to poland further, accordingly, it enters germany, that is, they themselves wanted to become a transit party on the path of our deliveries, that is, it plays the role that they accuse germany of today because they wanted to regulate these russian deliveries themselves and , of course, receive transit payments. that is, they offered themselves as an alternative. e ukraine this is in addition to the fact that europe's yamal pipeline which started in the nineties was buil

here in germany too, it plunged. does it go into a different era into a period of uncertainty that we thought had been overcome a period mike by war alliance, people having to flee their homes in the bike worries about war splattering into a conflagration in europe and one in the time of severe economic upheaval, energy, chrysler, and exploding prices approximately a time in which our successful model of a globally networked economy has come under pressure and inside a time in which she gets the social cohesion. and in more contrast democracy. and more than that own and trust in ourselves has been damaged when it did come, current policy makers cannot work miracles. no one has one was positive and not even a german president can take away. all our worries in these profoundly uncertain times grabbed us feelers on the contrary. and i believe that many of these worries are legitimate. we are experiencing the deepest crisis. our united germany has ever known. a been about, sorry, been gone, but i am firmly convinced that

you can often hear criticism of germany that germany is very slow allocates weapons to ukraine, but as can see, these and the weapons that germany allocates now are very powerful , they change the situation at the front and in germany, and this is my german diplomats. they are talking about it, well, such procedures cannot be adopted there very quickly a decision is needed, time is needed, all these procedures must be passed before the decision is adopted, will be valid and will be implemented but at the same time, there is no such feeling that france and germany are competing with each other who will help ukraine more and who will help ukraine better hello, what are your feelings, how are you to journalists in paris and how is france trying to lead this european aid to ukraine or not? i wouldn't say that it is still competing for some first positions . in diplomacy, that is, he i would like to have the position of, let's say, the informal diplomatic leader of the european countries, well, this is obviously related to his cloudless, completely unsuccessful negotiations with putin, whic

how is it in the example of germany what is happening today due to the fact that germany is involved uh, in ukraine, in fact today, uh, to the detriment of itself, it destroys markets, destroys its economy and is already becoming. not subjects of discussion, but the fact that the automotive industry was transferred to america. this means that if you look at the structure of germany's gdp. compare it there with china with america, then germany stood out sharply even in european among european countries in that it had a very marginal part. uh, heavy, well, not heavy industry at all, which was, uh, created by the hands of the germans. and today the americans are faced with the fact that the structure of their gdp consists mostly of services and, accordingly, they realized that they need to pull the industry. from where yes from europe and above all because of germany in fact. today they have already destroyed the economy and europe as a whole and germany as the foundations of this union and are transferring the entire industry, which did not get victims to america - this is for its own

dissolved and joined the federal republic of germany, which until then was west germany. the unification created a single german stay for the 1st time since the end of the 2nd world war in 1945. now the union of west and east has brought power and prosperity to the german republic. but many divisions and disappointments remain. the line on the 3rd of october 1990. when to germany's became one again, it was soviet leader, girl but shelves, policies of glass in austin, perestroika had thought about jim and re unification. the full of the war marked the beginning of a new chapter for germany and the beginning of a new era of appeasement, between east and west, russia and europe. we're both at 32 years later, putin's when ukraine has fundamentally changed that relationship. germany has imposed far reaching sanctions on russia and is now sending heavy weapons to fight russian soldiers on ukrainian soil. and ordinary germans attitudes towards russia have changed hot to shoot my men's hasn't changed considerably because i hadn't quite expected russia to act with as much brutalit

germany. the bottom 5 are all eastern german states can be some time before they catch up with the german average. then in terms of politics or you see it in terms of the willingness to vote for her parties. at the more extreme end of the political spectrum, whether it's a left party, which was one of the inheritance of the east german communist party, or more recently the a f d. the far right, a populous party, which is roughly twice as popular niece and germany as it is in western germany. and you also see it in a sense of kind of mistrust of the government. for instance, in terms of the corona virus, the vaccination rates in eastern german states are also at the bottom of the rankings. in fact, there's a, a protest of anti vaccine protest is taking place right by hi me. here at the brandenburg gate today and her a figure this recently been published in survey by the german government and pointed to a real concern, which is now that only 39 percent according to the survey of people in easter

there was much more environmental destruction in east germany than it was in west germany. so these are only a few facts. >> host: would you describe europe as a capitalistic continent? >> guest: as said before there is no pure capitalist country. it's a mixture, and injure the problem is we go more and more back in the way to plant economy. this is similar to things that joe biden were to hear in the united states, they take climate change and all this, but what, then don't believe in free market. they believe in the state. they believe that the state can solve every problem. but if this would be true soviet union would have won the cold war and not the united states. so this is a problem even in europe today and with the eu that we go more and more this way. they don't call it socialist but for me it is socialism. of course it is not pure socialism. of course we have a lot of capitalist things but i give you one example. we are in germany we are very proud about our automobile industry with mercedes, bmw and all this. and it was this way that the company decide what to pr

to deliver some months ago, but germany denied. so if there is an idea to do that, germany has to lift. it's a baron barriers against other countries. and to allow them to give the permission to deliver this, it would be best if this initiative will be back. but all 30 countries to show us the deliberation of the european union member states and, and together, every country in each country might deliver about $10.00 to $15.00. we would have 3 battalions which could be delivered, and this would help also, the ukrainian forces to attack. let me ask you a about before we run out of time tonight about russia's hybrid warfare and defense against that, do you see russia's hand in the explosions of the nord stream gas pipelines and, and the possible sabotaged on the german rail infrastructure that we saw in just a few days ago well has to be a very sava and we need to analyze and it will take several weeks because russia is pumping on thousands of tons of gas through the destroyer pipelines so that it is impossible to get a forensic analy

germany on the video we will upload about 20 according to estimates based on retrospective data, germany for the upcoming autumn-winter period 60 may be a little more than 60 billion cubic meters of gas for the blue-winter period. this means that the gas in the underground storage facilities in germany lasts for two maximum two and a half months. and there are different, of course, forecasts, but there can only be forecasts, because we understand that hunting is in the blue-winter period. this is also the temperature outside the window, it will be a cold anomalous cold winter, but, of course, there are forecasts, both optimistic and very pessimistic, and very pessimistic forecasts indicate that european storage facilities will have about five percent by the end of gas offtake in march 2023. yes, europe will survive only that it will be pumping by the winter of 23 and 24, and then it becomes clear that the energy crisis did not come for a short period of time and the causes of the energy crisis are of a systemic nature. well, as we noted in general, the active volume of gas gas customers

i was already in germany before pieris arrived. he's been here since 2017, but he's reluctant to talk about the exact reasons why he has stayed out of fear for his family. although that other than for me, that could be then the marseilles. yes, i don't want to go into details on bead on. but for political reasons at home, i wouldn't have felt safe. if i'd gone back into manami, i thought this there was a thorn like parisha. he hadn't planned to become a refugee back home. he was at risk of going to prison. staying in germany meant starting from scratch. cool. he had with him was a satchel. like this one. for was regarding a saw the feeling i got from germany was one of safety or who i knew i had support and will be able to return to a normal life while also resuming my sporting career to do her free baghdad. but there are limits to that support a life in exile also means having to fight for your own statist. filling out applications, arranging appointments and spending hours traveling to different authorities for cancer and perry's

for words from germany's chancellor, as he opens a conference on the reconstruction of ukraine following russia's invasion, the talk is of a program on the scale of the marshall plan. how realistic is the goal? also coming up, russia is with locating tens of thousands of residents from an area that it annexed last month in anticipation of a ukrainian counter offensive. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. international leaders, including germany's olaf schultz, our meeting in berlin to discuss the rebuilding of ukraine after russia's invasion . delegates said reconstruction must start immediately, even though there is no end inside to the war. joining by video link ukrainian president below 2 years lensky said for his country to get back on its feet. the international community must cover a $38000000000.00 hole in next year's budget. germany's schoultz said that the task of rebuilding required the combined strength of the entire world in particular, schultz pledged his country's continued support for ukraine and sad germany had learned from its own past. from our own historian, h

many of us could do more, not only germany. and we should agree on doing what is necessary for ukraine also with military kidman in order to get to rush out of ukraine to missouri. hon from the opposition. conservatives. thank you very much. and back to you, ben, the nina, could i just ask you one more question. i find it interesting either the german parliamentarians or civil one from c s. you said there that we could do more. and the child said in his speech that europe can afford to withstand this energy crisis . why then, isn't he promising even more and being even more concrete in his promises to help you crime we've also got to understand all our shows his character in this context. he is somebody who will try and work behind the scenes as hard as he can, but he will not make promises that he knows he can't fulfill away. he's not a 100 percent sure that he can fulfill them. so i'm not surprised that if there are negotiations happening behind closed doors, this is not the moment where it will have so it is going to reveal
