and countries like germany as germany, a major economy, major country in the world, but also as we heard, as one of the bus to court members and european union recognizes just what a new world we are in with the unfortunate conflict and ukraine. the related economic chaos that, that has caused that finding a new paradigm for co existing is vitally important. and i think this is just as important and elementary. this trip, especially as china recently announced a global security initiative that seeks precisely to address some of the shortcomings of the existing security order j. from your vantage point. just how important is the relationship between china and germany and how much are the 2 countries economies intertwined? how much are they reliant on each other? well, i thing a dependence. this wart seems to be quite ivy word old must become a stigma in european politics. this days, yes, nevertheless, germany has been one of the major to we can partner with china. but however, what i want to stress is for this visit. first, the re representing the inflection point, that between china and

what would that mean for germany? well, as we look at and the countries who are supporting ukraine at the moment, the u. s. is definitely at the forefront in terms of military support, but also financial aid. and germany has said numerous times. they're also looking at what kinds of weapons are being delivered to ukraine, that it is coordinating very closely with as it's partners in particular the us and we're the us to pull back in terms of aid and deliveries to ukraine. germany would be in a position where it had to decide what to do, whether to step up and continue to support ukraine more itself without relying so much on the u. s. d w. political correspondent julius had eli. thanks for that. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. us secretary of state antony blinkin has praised armenia and as a by john for taking steps towards lasting piece. washington has been mediating between the 2 neighbors who class repeatedly over control of than are gone a car back region. th

off against germany. germany looked strong in the 1st half, but didn't really convert their chances and fell victim to quick japanese counterattacks in the 2nd half, and ultimately lost the game. lots of defensive mistakes. that's really the weak point of germany's side. a manual lawyer, nicholas jeweler, and also nico slot are big, not looking very good. here's what pansy flick had to say with this difficult situation. now, the one, the one we want to, we want to an f set. i will say saygos. one thing that was a very bad start, even though there was more in it for us. so now it's really about preparing. we're for staying over the next 3 days. and then we want to try to come out on top in the n dot m a c go from, let's get our i philip. well, germany, or was he at making their wounds will say, and spain then actually completely destroyed costa rica in fact. so what does this mean for germany and their chances of going at far in this world cup? germany's bags are against the wall? it's as simple as that. there are basically 2 scenarios that we can draw up quickly . one is the best ca

the visit comes as germany's reliance on china is being scrutinized. european leaders say it puts germany in a vulnerable position just as it's dependency on russian energy exports left it exposed after the war and ukraine. but entangling itself from china's market will be complicated. for the last 6 years in a row, the country has been germany's largest trading partner in 2021 more than 245000000000 euro worth of goods were traded between the countries. that's way ahead of germany's next to most important trade partners. the netherlands and the united states polling shows nearly 70 percent of germans want to reduce dependence on china, even if it means sacrificing prosperity. the sentiment may be harder for german businesses to share. about 5000 german companies are active in china to day with investments of about 90000000000 euros. are many is mattress, the major source of investments that creates lot of jobs, including in places where china's economically quite struggling, like in the northeast, which is sort of the rust old. that's for a lot of like the german carmakers are and they p

it might help heat germany this winter. a new floating ellen g terminal can provide billions of cubic meters of natural gas rushed into service by a government that needs what the container ships arriving here within weeks will be delivering and operated by a company that sees itself is offering part of the answer to the energy crisis, the terminals are an aspect and a key pillar for this to put supplies security, it's like a fire brigade, and just there they are there in case there's a fire and determiners might play the same role in the next years to come. but the question has to be, is germany unveils this latest step on his journey from russian gas is how significant is one terminal among those that are being built? how likely is it that these terminals will speed germany away from this dependency on russian fossil fuels? it's one of several questions that are also being asked at the e you level. so as is done, i tell you that there is the risk that russia will also cut off the last 20 percent of gas flows. it's clear t

so how important is china to germany's economy? well, i mean is an important part is important, part of germany is economy and it's important part of the eurozone economy. and i think the most important thing to mention here is that isn't china has become more important over time. europe has become more integrated with china with especially manufacturing goods, but also in overall council slow. so china plays a big role. maybe it's not the biggest role chairman, germany trades more with its neighbors in europe, the u. s. and the u. k. if you look at, it's sort of in total trade, i think, but still china is a big part and, and therefore i'm sort of this duplex attention which is also now along that a west china axis is sort of, it's a challenge for europe and joe, but is church is germany dependent on china, aust, that because while china tops the rankings of germany's trading partners, we also have the united states, france, poland, other european countries, all representing between 5 and 8 percent of germany's total trade. so it d

there's a lot of pressure on germany to make this deal happen. i think we're closer to making it happen because again, you cannot rebuild all the infrastructure in the country every week. and the aim of this book crest meeting was to try to talk about reconstruction and moving forward . there are no guarantees. again, there are lots of sensitivities here, but germany is moving into a more sharing direction than it has been fixed. so because you see germany eventually saying yes to this deal, i say somebody across natal saying yesterday, the steel, the need to put you created a better position and to make this misery and is very high. germany seems a good candidate right now, but there were also reports that the u. s. is considering also sending patriot missiles, although not right away. big they who sends it how and what kind of merry go round the weapons transfer as happens to make it happen is not yet clear, but the impact if they didn't pay the impetus to make sure that something changes that these missiles do not hit all of the infrastructure

and the problem for germany is that they really can't. they don't have any choices there. it's a lot of gas from the need to replace, and they need this gas from pretty much any when they can get this. the thing is on it and a cutter is one of them. cutter is one of the biggest objects was in the world, and they're expanding their production as one of the few supplies in the will to do this. and they have been designated a non nato ally by the united states, which certainly helped make this deal. this is what a 15 year deal starting 2026 i take says pretty close to the 2045 deadline by which germany is hoping to be carbon neutral. so how does that square with that go? yeah, i mean, so this is where both sides had very precise ideas heading into the negotiations and it didn't quite fit because the categories would have much prefer signing a deal of at least 20 years. and the germans would have like more than $2000000.00 tons per year. and the reality was need that you have to find a compromise. capital wants to sell more energy. they need the investment into their productio

, fans, and everybody who's watched the germany team. but i think there's an obvious difference to the performance 4 years ago for 70 minutes. germany were actually very good tonight. and i think the problem was that at the end they played bad football when it counted. and that's ultimately why they lost the game. i'm not sure whether it's the same as russia 4 years ago. thomas miller said, it feels that way. but in terms of the performance, i think there was a key difference. there are some reasons to be optimistic tonight. if you're a germany fine, even if it's not obvious, and the german team came under a lot of fire for bowing to feel pressure over the one love arm band and in a move that was heavily criticized on social media, they opted to show their disagreement by covering their mouth, so we'll get right back to you jonathan. but 1st a look at how fans and dough are reacted. i very much appreciate the sign because it's really hard to, to tolerate that. on the organize of this tournament. basically prevent us from thinking and spe

you okay, and germany sign unable agreement 900. 38. the okay. france and italy agree to the petition of czechoslovakia between germany, poland, and hungary. 939 in latvia and estonia assigned non aggression acts with germany. it's law claude us. i'm. i'm an golf from dodge front door to want bend is of it's on your nutrition to mass now. mcduffton heter tourism type. paul don via does. i'm for fall assistive isn't oh, the magnum folk gave me. well. i guess he wagner and england stayed on the arkansas amino 5th is what? well known american author, dean henderson thinks of past events. poland and hungary invaded czechoslovakia before hitler invaded poland because poland and hungary work and already with the nazis and france in england basically threw czechoslovakia under the bus. and they don't really want us to remember that part you see, but they just abandon them and. and again, if hadn't been for stolen coming on the eastern front, they would abandon a lot more people in eastern europe as well. mm hm. however, on september the 19th 2

so germany is dependent on china and some aspects, but also so as china, dependent on germany. and that makes it very, very different case to the case. us very much present than the german mind mystic and then be the case of russia. they are, the dependencies are very, very different. so it is an issue, of course, it is an issue that needs to be tackled by firms and by the government. and it's a balancing act that we have at the moment. and as i said, it's important that to keep calm and not to panic and go off into a way that we can come back from ok. speaking of staying calm, how do you evaluate the contingency plans of german companies in case such a scenario? meeting a chinese attack on taiwan should become reality. yeah, i think, i think this a company decisions to be made. let's say there is, there is an important aspect here to keep in mind. i think in most cases, companies will make their own decisions, will make their own risk analysis and will come contingency plans that help them. i think in the number of sectors they have to be thought about very, very critically. w

but so is germany for china. so they're util. relationships and these are both so china is very important both as an export market for german firms. be it in the chemical industry in engineering, but also the kind history. but they also of course, an important input source for many products sold in germany. be it toys, consumer electronics, but also very important the, some raw materials. so there are these sort of course, yes, please. good. now i was just going to say, of course, the political attentions they are they political problems to put in mildly with the chinese government and that's not without problems. and here we have of course, talk about the state influence in some state owned enterprises. problematic political tension stuff you already mentioned earlier. how much danger do these strong ties that exist posed though, when beijing is more than just insinuating an attack on taiwan, which would prompt international sanctions? well, i think the important point here is, again to, to keep in mind that the

in its first deflate nazi germany. anti-semites but they are willing to play along with the nazi regime as long as it benefits their companies, their fortunes it will not do anything that goes against the rules. and by going the extra mile jewish colleagues from persecution. now following are they disenfranchised of jewish citizens in nazi germany. you see this which later becomes known really enter into and it was this idea of the removal of the jewish element of the ownership of the jewish owned company there is a jewelry, art, real estate that's why it visited regular business transaction between 1935 -- 1937. very soon after words to become the outright andt appropriation by a nazi regime as well we have countless examples in the book. i will give the cell phone on the most prominent one i want to start with is the removal of the cofounder the buyout is the wrecked by the start the car design company in 1930 and they -- on the day he resigns and generate 1933 also out of hitler germany. he resigns it was fed up wit

there's, you know, kids that come from germany. other kids coming from france, couple weeks of the cranium really sanctum, basically make do with all the kind of leftovers that western military's have and are willing to part with. but it's definitely psychologically very important to think that there's something to deal with these attacks. they've left people feeling so vulnerable, dw correspondent connelly reporting from the ukranian capital. he is a look now at some of the other stories making news from around the world. the ceremony has been held in tanzania for the victims of sundays plane crash that killed 19 people. authorities are investigating the exact cause of the crash. the country's transport minister told mourners that bad weather was a likely factor. the french catholic church says 11 bishops and former bishops have been accused of sexual violence or failing to report abuse cases. among them is jean pierre, the car, one of the country's highest ranking cardinals. on monday he confessed to abusing a young girl 35 years

and this is also a difference with, with the situation with russia, germany, germany's dependency on russia was really tied to the, to the energy sector. but, you know, there are other places they can get natural gas, which they're doing, it's more expensive, it's more complicated. but, you know, they'll, they'll manage to compensate for that. you cannot compensate for a trade relationship like the one that germany has with china is, is just, this is too big. a dependency is so deep that it would cripple the german economy if there were to really be a serious crisis there. so, you know, it's, it's as foreign minister, you know, i think, you know, beer book, it has other, other concerns maybe than shoals does. but i think that he particularly is former finance minister and understands just the degree of dependency here. and this is why you know, he is really overruling not just the greens people in his own party, everyone in his coalition and the united states and, and plowing his own path here. yet the coalition is working on a, on a joint approach to, to china. this new china policy

ah ah. germany and kata signed a major energy deal? the golf nation has agreed to supply your biggest economy with liquefied natural gas through to the 2014. but is it the right move for berlin? kinda us rail road strike be stopped. president biden is urging congress to step in for the sake of the recon economy. more controversy on the rails in mexico, where local say, a new tourist train and an untold damage to the environment is the state of your business on robots in berlin. welcome to the program. germany takes another step away from russian energy. berlin has signed a major liquefied natural gas supply deal with the government of cutter. 2000000 tons of l. n. g will be delivered annually from 2026 with the deal set to last. at least 15 years. germany has been scrambling for new sources of gas to replace russian supplies, which made up the vast majority of imports before the invasion of ukraine. on this, i've been speaking to heading low, stein, director for energy, climate, and resources at the consultancy eurasia group. i asked h

and looking more closely at germany's role in finding accountability to think germany has more leverage to support demonstrators and iran, especially the women who are out in the streets. well, this is one example of how germany could have a leverage. for example, in these kinds of international fora. and it's also something that, by the way, seen here in german streets, i've been covering several approaches in support of those were protesting in iran. and one of the arguments that had been presented during those protests here in germany. was specifically for this fact finding mission. so i do see that the move by germany in particular by germany is foreign ministry to have this resolution. and this discussion in geneva will be accepted, will be positively accepted by segments of the german population that have been following very closely. what is happening in iraq? thank you so much for that update that is at thomas barrow for us there. while ukraine's president of already murder zalinski is urging the united nations to back a resolution condemning what he calls energy terror. russia h

he talked about a new dorner taking action, and germany spoke about germany's involvement in ukraine in the new dialogue with china that focused a lot also on the support it was offering it citizens from raising the national minimum wage to creating a modern and accessible france full system and of course a big focus on helping people pay their energy bills, which was a huge issue in germany right now. and he does his chief political correspondent, nina honda is at the german bundis tag, listening to the chancellor speaking. nina, what are your main takeaways from what the chancellor just said? well, yeah, you've essentially mentioned all the important talking points. what i always find interesting in these situations is that all of choice is not considered to be a very good public speaker. so he does go into detail quite a bit and he does sort of a sum up all his results, all the progress that has been made. and he does really challenge, is listeners to pay attention. what is the message was of course, was we've got things under control about we do have to now what really, really ha

swati miss euro from india is on a mission to find out how sustainable travel is being promoted in germany. what transport options are available to climate conscious travelers? how do they compare to india? in the german capital berlin swati. misha takes a look at environmentally friendly modes of transport. in frankfurt, she compares domestic air and train travel with and did bavaria. she visits lake tegan. see an extremely popular tourist destination. what episode one viet out in about in boiling, chillman, east capital. and it's my 1st diamond, but i want to find out what does it is getting shy and done of eco friendly transport for water boiling nose and thought is germany is a car loving country that might sound like a few shape, but the numbers speak for themselves dinner just under 50000000 distort cars in germany. that's 10 times more than 50 years ago. it is clear that this is not helping the environment about $43000000.00 of the district. cars are privately owned, statistically speaking every 2nd. german has a car in india by the way, no figure is only 0.0 by legal. bob was them

so is germany ready for some football? the answer that has d w sports, chris harrington, who joins us now in the studio. so chris white, exactly the and if l choosing to play a game here in germany. well, obviously money is involved, you know, they want to expand their brand, they research ceiling domestically, and it's not the 1st venture in germany over 3 decades ago. there was actually a preseason game that kicked off right here in related alertly stadium. and then that was the precursor for nfl europe. that was something that started in the early nineties to early 2, thousands. but it really failed in connecting in a basically a strong fan base with television and radio. you know, but here we go. one fact, a fun fact that people might not realize is that germany has a huge fan base that support american football. at one point there was a free to air television back between 20122015. the seattle seahawks actually had the largest german speaking fan base, germany's the number one market for growth according to all of the

on germany shocking laws against japan. i'm now joined in the studio, i from a partner from d w. sports. philip is another huge upset in this world cup. is japan take down germany? can you tell us what is going on here? well, there's a famous during football saying that goes difficult, has an opening, is that so which trying to do the cup has its own rules and here is more approved for saudi arabia beating argentina. and now this huge, another huge upset laws, as you said, to pen against germany. and this didn't really look that way in the 1st half germany where the team that were strong that had a lot of possession that got the early lead against penalty. over then in the 2nd half, germany just completely crumbled. and we saw again the defense is their weak spot. it was 21 as legal players actually for japan to on and assign over the ones to score and get past montoya. and in the end, i would even say it was a desert victory for japan. and a huge flow for germany, and we're seeing developments also in this one love arm ban

about 22000000 people in germany have a migrant background. meaning one him for like he doesn't identify with the countries historical, built for nazi crimes. and that changes how people look back on history. now the spotlight is shifting to another murky chapter. europe's long ignored crimes during the colonial era. germany is struggling to confront its responsibility of a button on the up impulse to afford lying on when it comes to sweeping colonial crimes under carpet. all the former colonial powers have the same attitude and germany is no exception. and i told him this kind of like annex they willing to admit anything until there's no way around it and they string along the victims for as long as possible long him be smoky, much weight. ready and the gym is praised but how admirably they deal with their dark past. ready ready ready no other country in the world has faith. so encouragingly declared jewish philosophers is 9 in 2020 stuff that only apply to the court to the nazis crime top all other crimes against humanity. it's a confidentia

and for germany, i can say that won't go yes. once we'll do all the marshes, crucial war of aggression against you. great ukraine forces us to use of coal fired power plants again for a short period of time. but we are family committed to phase out cold. only a few days ago. we therefore decided to shut down some of our coal fired power plans even earlier than had previously been planned for us. it is clearer than ever that the law, when power, solar energy and green hydrogen, that is the future on your path to that future. germany is offering you partnership, and that is my 4th and last point. by, for example, developing the brides and scaling up the technology is allowing citizens world wide to live in prosperity without harming the climate. use to you this go little bit, but of a world wide cooperation in the transformation of our industries is also at the heart of an open and co operative climate club. ornstein gabriella, of the garage is 7, has laid the foundation for that. is it about, but i, li, climate club is open to all

in germany's poor performance on the pitch? >> i think it is a complex situation. he thought it was too cheap to say this is the reason we lost the game. that is fair. on the other hand have to say that it played a role -- you have to say that it played a role. they talked about it with the players. they wanted to send a message. this has been a point of discussion throughout the tournament, even before the start of the world cup in qatar. it's been something they have been thinking about. it was on their mind. the issue is that they played good football for 70 minutes. if they scored a second goal, we wouldn't be having a conversation. instead, they end up losing the game and we are talking about both issues. as i said earlier, the reason germany lost and it was a played better football when it mattered, not because of the armband conversation. nicole: they are probably looking their wounds while spain destroyed costa rica -- what is it mean for germany on their chances to go far at this world cup? >> well, nothing good, if we

really of the way that this tournament has gone for germany. their training camp in oman was pretty rushed. the performance against japan was largely positive, but then they fell apart at the end. and then there has been a lot of field conversation about the arm band. and then of course their protest in return. so it's been a pretty tumultuous performance in terms of germany's woke up and i'm a little bit worried about. okay. and what about henzy flexion? he also be worried, he said a hugely impressive start as germany coach. and if his job might be under threat, if germany lose to spain, no, i think if there's anyone that doesn't need to worry it's hands if like i think given the fact that he's not been in the job very long, i think he's one of the people that can probably be very safe and secure, and the fact that he's going to be germany's coach going forward, oliver be off team executive probably is someone that does need to worry. he's been around a lot. he may well need to carry the counter this as they say, but really the whole conversat

germany, japan stunning, come back against germany, made waves back home. of course, these were the scenes in tokyo and cross japan on thursday. as japanese fans celebrated their country's victory into the early hours. when is being called the miracle indo hall, and there are now calls forth national holiday. germany's defeat to japan is the 2nd big shock of the tournament after saudi arabia beat argentina on tuesday. in the other group game, spain destroyed costa rica, 7 nill earlier our sports correspondent, jonathan harding. in doha told us what the results mean for germany's chances or nothing good. i think if your toughest opponent is going to win 7 ill, a tough and he puts germany in a tough spot. the, the biggest issue for germany now is that on the day that they play spain to plan pay play costa rica earlier on. and if japan, when that, than germany know that they absolutely have to win, or they'll be going home and facing a worse woke up than in russia, which is hard to believe. but that's where we're at with this germany team right now. well her v

why is put in doing this and what does it change for germany? yet? heard of best frightened as a smith imply would dispute the idea that it has nothing to do with the war either he has, i believe what we are seeing is part of the russian war strategy. then really clear that not only do we have a brutal war of invasion, being waged against the ukrainian army in the area in but also, and this is becoming clearer as winter approaches as a brutal attack on critical infrastructure. and with that, of course, on the civilian population line that we fear. and this is something we have seen in recent weeks with the destruction of gas heating and electricity infrastructure. what might await the people of ukraine, hardship, and darkness, and cold and calendar north duncan hides on colder under does this, and these are not coincidental side effects, but rather it looks as if they are in fact the aim of rush and attacks are oh, do you hand that part of russia's strategy, his to hit the civilian population of to grind down the entire country. so, and that is what

i'm really proud of my job and i really like it here in germany, i learned a lot of new techniques. germany is the producing country of medical products, new medical techniques. so you are in the country, but it has been developed so you see it on the 1st and that's why i have the opportunity to work with. it's really cool new tools if you qualify to work in germany as a doctor, it's a process of acknowledgment. if you complete the acknowledgment process, you can apply for the jobs my 1st day is in the hospital. that is really, really stressful for me. i can understand the people talk to me. i couldn't express myself totally. on the other hand, the german people in medical business, they are all freight prepaid for the for a doctor. that means that they are not expecting your german to be perfect. ah, we are very happy to talk to a check in our team. ah, maybe 30 percent of our employees in my apartment are for a nurse or for amy roots. it is really extremely difficult to find an apartment in berlin. it took us a couple of months to find something fitting. and actually we are still in searc

not just in germany. mm hm. ah. in israel, remembrance is also being reconsidered now that the last holocaust survivors are dying, their grandchildren and great grandchildren are moving ways to remember the past without them tel aviv israel 2022 on an autumn afternoon. 2 generations are coming together. hannah, monica and sharon went us. they were involved in the initiative zacharon bus alone remembrance in the living room, which brings holocaust survivors together with young israelis in a private setting. dave dear is that we are doing it together. we think together we are listening with 1st we listen and then we share and then we talk. and the columbus al on the purpose is not to remember for the sake of remembering. we remember for us to repair, to shape our future. when we say never again, we have to minute hannah mocker is 99 years old. she survived the to read inch that ghetto, forced labor and the ocean its concentration camp. she shares her experiences and meetings with younger generations held around the wo

so germany 1938 the austrian angel's, the petition of czechoslovakia by germany, poland. and hungary, the beginning of world war 2. having realized the danger in march 1939, the soviet union proposed an anti fascist alliance to western countries. this i've been trying to rally the west, make a stand with them against fascism. they opposed munich. they oppose allowing hitler in to check his ma vakio. but nobody would do that. so wasn't just in 1939. when the soviet proposed and elias britain and france against hitler, it had been actually throughout the late last half of the 900 thirty's, that the soviets were pushing for that. had that happened, we could have stopped hitler. we could have prevented the holocaust. we could prevent the world war 2 because hitler was weak and he was weak. and he was bluffing. and assuming that the west was not going to stand up to him at the west was hoping and many elements in the west. we're hoping that he was just going to go east and so in the thirty's. the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the nazis. look forward to

in working with germany. but it's also coming from a new segment of the north field, which is, which is what they're just trying to produce. and gas together is konica phillips. this is all the american company should send that to you. and the 3rd one is the most important one. there was a lot of haggling, not so much for the cut over capable of willing to deliver gas. and that the germany was capable of taking it, but about the length of the contract for many reasons. and was 15 years there now agreed on a contract length, which is considerably above the short term which germany wanted and considerably low the long term cutout wanted cut. i wanted to use the current priced items to lock in a contract much longer term. they have at the same day announced a contract with china for 27 years. so you can see that between 0 and 27 germany, it's not just like i mentioned the length of the contract. we are still talking about a long time contract, even though it's not as long as the guitar is warranted. we're still

an early warning for germany.- early warning for germany. we will take a close _ early warning for germany. we will take a close eye _ early warning for germany. we will take a close eye on _ early warning for germany. we will take a close eye on that. _ let's tell you a few things happening away from the world cup. boreham wood continued their fa cup exploits by beating league one side bristol rovers to reach the third round for the third year running. rovers suffering only their second defeat in 13 games. bournemouth have appointed gary o'neil as their head coach on a permanent basis. he's been in charge on an interim basis since the sacking of scott parker in august. defending gallagher premiership champions leicester tigers survived a valiant fight back from london irish to beat them 33—31 at welford road. this try from jasper wiese sealed what was a thrilling win after london irish had threatened an upset. back to qatar, as we draw closer to that crunch match between england and wales in their final group match on tuesday. wales have

something berlin lent the hard way when russia a critical fuel source for germany invaded ukraine. also on this, i'm joined via d w's chief international editor richard walker, in vision. hi richard. so schultz is the 1st you leader to make a trip to china. since the pandemic started, what are we to expect from this meeting between the 2 leaders? yeah, well i, i just wanna start real or bye bye bye. pointing out would have very, very kind of heavily choreograph visit this is that all of schoultz is on a more choreograph than even the, the usual kind of visits that you would have on, on this very high political level. so we, we saw the extraordinary images of the red carpet being rolled out by people in hazmat suits all of the corona, virus, or provisions being followed by the chinese authorities here really are extraordinarily regimented. and that means that we at the traveling press with olaf shows, we have been kind of bungled to this. a state guest house which you can see behind me, very, it delete grounds here. a beautiful day here in beijing, while all of shots is having hit t

he's that are usually impressive start as germany coach. but the biggest job might be under threat if germany loose the same no, i think if there's anyone that doesn't need to worry at times if like i think given the fact that he's not been in the job very long, i think he's one of the people that can probably be very safe and secure in the fact that he's going to be germany's coach going forward. oliver be off team executive, probably someone that does need to worry. he's been around a lot. he may well need to carry the kinds of this as they say, but really the whole conversation around what will happen in german football. if germany do lose his game, will be about use football. the lack of a strike of the lack of wing back there'll be an enormous inquest into why germany have found themselves in this position that record and told him it's has been terrible. you know, look at russia 2018 look at the euro's last summer. there's only been one when throughout this entire stretch. so there are big questions here than just whether the head coac

the order of the germany gone. just as after 9 says idle dies, you fought each if you read each bit. draft the henry fought. i'd smiled. a is spirit showed on him. la 97 fuel fancy showed fault. yes. i know there via toys these, these guys that i can call camper d n as the i p would as a stock finance he at the office and it was on, on the, on him from the bank of america. doctor nominee leash for an amount bush did warm gold fox on. when george bush out west does he did i inc. is this money from you? you and it was on the i need the hot that's all pong out. do you was of it on you on? and i'm a tree keystrokes for the 20th century, so a confrontation between 2 opposing systems, capitalism and socialism. the example of the soviet union, the proclaimed equality of all nations, and all classes of society posed a threat to capitalism. united states and great britain or equally suspicious of the soviet union, which communism saying is a direct threat to the democratic chaplain systems on the west. and so they were as u

it was the to meet captains of industry, germany, from germany and china. we are prepared to take any questions you may have as well. and we hope that we can find short solutions for the problems in this world today. chantelle show that you have the floor and i will tell us the school ladies and gentlemen, it is good and right that i am here and by jane to day, intently because we had intense debates at length with our 1st with president. she will until now go to the forks, premier lee, this is my 1st visit to your eyes like my mum thought. the chancellor of germany visiting with china and screw up. well we had had video conferences as well with both prison. she and premier lee all but we have also met before. we have only managed to communicate with one another. with premier lee my middle face. virtually this is our 1st time to meet in person. it like for level ball impersonal, of course, and it's my visit occurs at a time where the world is racked with conflict and crises with them a time where it is more important than ever to speak with one another and
