12:02 pm
russia. just walk us through what exactly has been agreed here. yes. so there is an agreement in principle by the european union states investigators on the 13th package of sanctions against russia. and in this package, which has not yet been published. there supposedly nearly $200.00 persons and entities listed and they are also new measures for seen and to avoid sanction um, circumvention which is making you sanctions and effective. so this is what has been agreed to today. they will still have to sign it off or officially and then it needs to be published in the official journal and only then the sanctions will enter into force. and it is for seen that this will happen by saturday 24th. the 2nd anniversary of the russian arrangement into you train, hungry had threatened to veto. how were they finally brought on board?
12:03 pm
yes, so hungry has already explained before hand off at headset that it needs to scrutinize what, what this means for the hon. gary and economy. the certain surgeons think tension package, excuse me. and that has already declared a couple of days before that it would not reach. so the sentence packets, even though it does believe that this is not good for the blocks economy, but in the end they did not reach o and they kept the promise which they made before hand just that you, you believe ultimately that it's sanctions are having the desired effect, and you know, what measures you, you mentioned a little bit earlier, are they going to institute this time around to, to make sure that it does because they mean, if you look at the russian economy, that doesn't seem to have made that much of a dent so the european union has been um, having a really a big range of measures before hand and they believe here and we have heard it from, was it a funded line that also has been use sanction package?
12:04 pm
the 13th is meant to keep the pressure on russia high. um, nevertheless, there is a bit of critique as well with this new package. so that it is not really having far reaching consequences for the russian economy. it does for c 200 listings, and they're already the number of listing some place. they're nearly 2000 listings in place already. so this, this now it over with these new listings that will be over 2000 now. and there are also a range of other measures, especially export import bands. but this new package does not really have very deep, very far reaching off these measures. so some also say critique say it might also be symbolic for the 2nd year anniversary of the russian invasion and to ukraine. this year shelton and brussels. thank you us. and here's a closer look now at those sanctions and the impact that they have been having
12:05 pm
since february of 2020 to the e. u has band goods worth over 43900000000 euro, so that would have been exported to russia. now these include advance technology items such as radar systems, drones, camouflage gear or weapons collection of brush, who is actually what i wrote equally, becoming more like the soviet union in that it has high spending on the military and in some cases heavy industry. and at the same time, the level of consumption is holding for the population, the board seat, the cycle box industrial production is also doing surprising. the well, for example, in the automotive sector, components are increasingly coming from china, off to the europeans, withdrew from russia, thanks to chinese impulse, the russian economy is being kept afloat. she never takes to go to this new china or is of course not officially participating in the sanctions. so it is not a partner, so to speak of western states when it comes to sanctions and sometimes feeling good . to finance impulse, russia needs exports,
12:06 pm
income from gas sales. these are full and dramatically times the use extensive input by and seems to have had an effect chopping into a new customers with new pipelines is only a partial substitute. volume simple the, with the 5 lines on. busy but the fact that when you compare them for want to define players come from sport uh to, to the you or confront support to, to china and even the new infrastructure of products. like all else, i give it to us dealing. ready in funds they, however, oil sales rushes 2nd most important source of export revenue almost as good as before the war and ukraine. this is despite you sanctions. i am just enforcing a price cap of $60.00 us dollars a barrel transportation of oil. um probably are violating that because so
12:07 pm
they use a we enforcement to on the side of it is there is also a shadow trading uh where you know, uh all the is uh, uh, discharged. uh and the charge of the on another bus or the overseas. uh, more and more oil is ending up in india. its most important oil supply is now russia. nevertheless, rushes growth is partly finance don't credits, including military spending. how long can puts in actually a forward to do this? this come of the guns it's. i can write that for quite a while that will set the browser. i had a very low deb level at the beginning of the war. it still has a low debt level even now. actually extend. russia does not look set to run out of money to finance the board and ukraine. any time soon. the world of sports and big news here, but it's like a champions by our municipal part ways with coach thomas to hold at the end of the
12:08 pm
current season. to host position has been questions in recent weeks after a run of threes, straight to feats left firing off the pace and the board to seek a title race. and on the brink of illumination and europe's champions lea 2 whole took over as buyer and coach last march, before helping them to an 11th consecutive one, displayed a title still more until his departure from buyer and munich, cress harrington from dw sports is here with us in the studio was this is the price above all else we need is the most important thing for buyer. and it's uh, boss is without a question. and when you factor in time is too old. you look at the 1st piece of silver, where the 1st title he won was gifted thanks to told me he argued he didn't even earn the one, but as a good title, he, he got with a buyer munich. and, you know, a shock not at all. i did expect this to come because one thing you realized about by meeting they've been winning so much. and so often going to their 12 title in
12:09 pm
a row. they don't even put way the but as they go on there to do, listed anymore as a forgone conclusion that they would win the league. the champions league is what they're about when you look at just a bruises and bob stool has gotten along the way. booted from the german cub. molly bought by laver cruise and beat up in the champions league looking. it's maybe they don't even advance and that competition, and then they're looking up at 8 points in labor cruising right now. it's not a shock. so they don't have to explain to us because i mean they, they brought in thomas to whole right. i mean, this is a guy with the track record at p. s g. a chelsea was able to do some great things. why could he not replicate that now? if fire well to who is an acquired taste? you know, he doesn't really deal with management. everything is all good when you're winning, you know, but once you're losing, once things get a bit difficult to hold, typically has a, it's my weight or the highway attitude reports are he lost half of the locker room and by munich after the most recent loss, to both of them, manuel lawyer sheldon high regard. the cap in the goalkeeper. he said we need to
12:10 pm
question everything and i think he get probably gave thomas to all aside i after you said that comment. you know, so you the locker room is split. you're not winning anything. i think it's very clear. you have to make a change any time you've had this wrong. and a coach forces you to press the reset button and that when you're 12 title in a row, that coaches to go. what do you think of the timing of the announcement? because mean, does this now hurt byron's chances of salvaging? you know, whatever it is they could salvage. and in the meantime, before he's gone scratching my head on that, you know myself. i think the timing of the situation is horrible. but to i had no confidence of winning the title anyways. he said that he doesn't think they'll do it. you know, that trickles down to the team and now the team is split. there's a split divide. i think the only thing going for buying right now, possibly cherry came, setting a new single season record for scoring goals. that's all i can see environmentally media future at least is that chris harrington dw sports think. thank you.
12:11 pm
i'm here is a look now at some other stories that are making headlines around the world. russia has banned the us funded broadcast or radio free europe radio liberty designating it as a quote on desirable organization. it is, the latest outlet to be targeted by the kremlin is cracked down on free media, which is stepped up since it began. its invasion of ukraine. police in india have fired tear gas at protesting farmers as thousands of them were preparing to march to delhi. for rounds of talks with the central government have so far failed, the farmers form a major voting block in india and their anger could impact national elections due in a few months time. south korea's prime minister has inspected an emergency medical unit after thousands of training, doctors walked out in protest without enough staff 5 major hospitals. and so i've had to cancel nearly half of their scheduled surgeries. younger doctors are
12:12 pm
protesting the government's new plan to increase medical fees and is really strikes has hit a residential area in syria and kind of serious capital damascus. according to state media, the fall reports say that at least 2 people have died after several missiles cause damage in the neighborhood of k 5. so the alyssa, israel has not commented on the allegation yet. nobody showed up in the floor. i just thought she was in the united states has vetoed an era back to resolution in the un security council demanding a ceasefire in the war between israel and tomas, which is labeled as a terrorist organization in many countries. china and even the u. s. l. i france, criticized washington for blocking the resolution a 3rd time. the u. k. up stained and the vote. well, 13 voted in favor. the west instead proposed its own plan on a house. the new american draft resolution calls for a temporary cease fire link to the release of hostages,
12:13 pm
held by him on an immediate. and here's what china investor had to say about washington's veto. it was the veto exercised by the united states that stifled counsel consensus made what the us veto sent the wrong message. pushing the situation in gaza into more dangerous territory that can be, that's about yeah. and with us now from berlin is a journalist in china watcher felix li. welcome to the program, and thank you for joining us. and we understand you've written several books on china. you, you reported from there for many years. i mean, we just heard strong comments on the us veto at the un. what do you make of it? oh, yes. well, hello. yeah, china wants to position itself as the voice of the global fault and the men join 2 of these countries to be honest, a think is rarely exaggerating with its actions is a god, a strip and the most aggressive voice against israel, south africa, brazil,
12:14 pm
and other large, emergent countries criticize these way, the government you more view mentally. oh, well yeah, trying as a time to try to present itself with a comfortable i'm just calling for the excavation without making any constructive suggestions on its own. yet at least on the outside um to, to what extent channel actually play a constructive role remains to be seen. and the also chinese deployments often lack the experience to meet if effectively so yeah, i'm also curious how much of china will get involved. it's been interesting to track the commentary because i mean china has, has not been very outspoken since the october 7th, the tax on israel, although it has repeatedly called for a cease fire. and god, can you explain to us from, from, you know, from a strategic perspective, what is at stake for beijing in the middle east? and in this conflict from frontrunner a yes or yeah, china,
12:15 pm
it's do testing itself. and what is it an adult to china has on the diplomatic level. i think there's a lot going on behind the scenes we should on the estimate, china, the china has becoming increasingly involved in the middle east. we are, we were last year we were completely surprised that the leadership in between manage to bring the host of state. so i ran and saudi arabia together last year and trying to input in the middle east has increased a little bit. and that is certainly welcome by many countries also in the middle east. so yeah, i, i'm also curious what, how china will get involved in, in, in, in israel and the cartridges will. uh, it gets a post in you to what extent does china playing to a domestic audience on this issue given it's many troubles at home, not, not least with the economy. well yeah, the kind of the province in china are big,
12:16 pm
but china phone policy approach and little to do with of a domestic problems at home. and like in germany, it's not the keys at the middle east conflict place. a major role for the majority of the chinese people, quite the opposite is perceived as a distance conflict. what many trying to feel, however, is that the us above all has double standards when it comes to human rights violations by the it's really government. the u. s. criticism as well does not go as far as it does with i think human rights violations, of course, by this channels and wants to distract attention from its own human rights violations, journalist and china experts. felix lee, thank you so much for joining us to show that to you. thank you. to now fighting between ethnic rebels and the military, junta in neon mar is spilling over into bangladesh. earlier this month to civilians
