but the next day on dw interview with jim is defense minister on his countries involving defense of policy that might have multiple security crises, felt exceed the taiwan strait that's in just a moment. i'll be back at the top of the have a good day. the welcome to put tire time. that's kind of sofas. thanks tourism. what do you get here? you can't get anywhere else in the world. in germany, if you go to a prostitute twice or 3 times as much and the other half the service in 2023, a documentary, uncovered corruption on child abuse. the youngest one, for example, let me show you this was now the film team,

investigate the was executive has changed the red light, dark shadow, 6 tourism the of this of the story is that the german navy is just taking parts here. we're in per harbor and the big port in the pacific region of the united states and the german maybe 2nd part with to ship. so it's a homeopathic participation that germany has. and the reason the same time you were saying you will stand in for this. we did, how does that mass? well, that let's uh, quite easily because in fact, 2 ships. i love that lots about. it's a watch more than a whole more patrick, a contribution. because we tech pod as one of the most important you are the nation's and yes that i use it. i talked to a girl at the barrel and he,

i'm the live quite in quite an impressive way that our contribution is to be counted by 5. do you like to be a guided by 5? that means our contribution is very, very crucial for that, for that exercise, for that, for that exercise impact. because it is, it shows to everybody, every play owns the theater that we are, that we stick together, all the countries, things a lot of free countries is supporting as the most basic, the national, all that and doing that here in the, in the pacific is a very strong set of those that go to everybody and definitely does that. so a lot to take part was to shape switch to a block and ships. and therefore i'm going to have to be at 12 with unity to do this. as 29 nations we're exercising here in the region about the threats of a future. current is a huge concern that i could be a lawful in the middle east of that we have mostly the was killed in a wrong. it's a handy. yeah. but also and eating member has pulled off your american counterparts

noise. austin says that the will can be prevented. what is your assessment up smoking? well, of course, what awesome is right, it's can be prevented, but it has to be need to be at least to be preventative, because nobody callaway share, or can, you can even imagine a further escalation was a region. we don't need that. we don't want that. we have to to, to try everything, add to make him flows available, available to all act does. it was a regional love to escalate and pay attention to this collection of and to do everything for getting peace back in that region as soon as possible. what does this mean for german weapons? deliveries, weapons commitment towards israel, but also for german needs. participation in of who unfilled the liberties florida. do you feel is of love to touch that to moment 3? we continue. we proceed with our engagement over there. of course we, uh, we assume the situation every, every day, every hour. uh but we,

so we just stay there. we wanted to make uh was the only level of decisions over there. now as you get here, the reason you want to dispute leaders who open the addresses sign up during this exercise that this exercise could be directed to. what's that threats from china? at the same time, you are saying here that you want to see more than a 2 percent goal in defense spending. how does that match with your struggle to maintain the what you want in terms of the budget commitments within your own government? well, to be honest, we reach out in 25 as well as in 24. is that 2 percent? let's add this as most of what for me and not all the decisions which are made or are going to be made till the end of the year. will have any impact on the engaged when is the end of the season that you would like to push for the 2 percent? well we are, we are working on the 2 percent plus what do we have to reach and we have of cause to consider all the other needs and then job and budget like other allies due to

your also traveling to countries that are really feeling the pressure from china and know to be the philippines and also south korea and what will be your commitment that you give to these countries? we joined woods and how much of a role will defense corporation and probably changing german, those to facilitate defense deliveries, payroll. well, we have just as the, in the process of the, to a, to, to change our export control. the regulations is that's the 1st part and we, i think we'll be ready with that to the end of the year. and besides that, when it comes to the philippines, we don't all around our tony talking about what's it's about being present since this house cheddie c was our 2 ships and was all the allies have populace. and this is a strong signals that we see what's going on that we don't accept that as that we stand with a international aerospace, international audit, especially when it comes to smaller countries,

has reasons to feel what's going on. maybe what can countries in the region expect more defense? coal person would certainly in the future. yes, of course. this is, that's one of the reasons i go from here, from the on the, to south korea and then to the philippines. because we want to talk about law and our mentor defense cooperation. it will talk about that more in your operability of our system, which we experience loves more than that exercise. yeah. and the to, and definitely is of cause one go up, is one the objective to get to more cooperation with those countries was pop into the region with those we have to be working with already for decades. and those we are just starting to work through that. you emphasize that demonstration presence is important to germany's role. so we'll forget by investing back on which we're standing right now. not just trust the south china sea, but also the taiwan strait. the 1st figured that headed to the reason a few years ago didn't we'll, we'll make our decision in time only allowed to be able to do what is necessary.

but it's lots of moment now to discuss it publicly. we have the side in the weeks to come at also in the united states. the key parts of europe for germany is heading into elections. of course, you can't speak politically, but now that's kind of the harris will be running most likely on the democratic ticket. what kind of change of tone do you would expect with a potential administration, paris? there's been much talk about what term to would mean, but harris, how would that be different? i think we have, as i already mentioned several times earlier, we have to focus on our selves while we're on the whole what we have to do. and that is true europe to the european populace. and they do has to do more for their own security as they used to do before. there's a set shuttles number 11 shows number 2 is to focus on the available and stable cooperation. was our most important part of united states who eval, might be in the white house. anyway,

we have to do what we have to do or we have to stick together was our allies. this is what would we have to do in the future. ukraine just had a very large scale attack key if and those are you, brawn made roads that were use what consequence will this have in times of most support for ukraine, but also in how you view you bought? well, we know about everything about the role of your writing, though we can see that every day more or less. so there's no doubt about it. so we have to, we have to deal with it and we have to face, observe the koreans capabilities. you defend itself, especially when it comes to out of funds for germany, provided already free bater it systems and several are as the systems go, what do we expect? loud would we have to do is opposite and support associate. great now is to deliver and to provide even while because self defense and especially at defense is crucial . now is that especially when it comes to the winter to come to protect the

civilian infrastructure, to energy infrastructure and everything else. with that c, germany also helping um f sixteens that are coming from fox. i called the given the assessment to do that now because we don't have if f, 16 as you know, and without our weapon, some old can be provided for you. beings use was f 16 s to be checked. i don't know that it is on the final question. how close is the world to a very large scale concept at this moment in time? it's hard to say, i hope that the reason and threshold rationality is still a parking. but for the most part of the world and everybody, i think at least most of everybody, most of all talk to us and i'm the countries know the meeting, the relevance of the importance of a, say, obtaining peace or getting peace better back. and that's what i am quite optimistic as i used to be during my 64 elastic life that we will be able to

a piece or is the source during the defense of mr. here in. but how beth, thank you very much. i every year countless people climbed the hill to visit this ruin the to find out why i met on we'll go because he knows about the secret agents and if it's past and the autism from its present in fact you are. and on top of a hill that has been in the cold war, the outpost of the americans, and also also british and to listen to what is a g d, r and, and russia. i was planned visit army. so this was
