president emanuel macola has welcome the you case prime minister to the leaves. a palace in paris cast on those visit comes a day off the he visited his drum and counter thought or not for its invalid stone . the says he aims to turn a corner on preston's 2020 exit from the you. by improving relations on the console . south korea's climate goals have been ruled, unconstitutional off for law suits, but named an embryo as one of the plaintiffs. the mother of an unborn child joined the case, challenging carbon emission targets for being inadequate and violating human rights . the court ordered the government to set new emission reduction plans to beijing. now way us president, jo bivens, national security adviser has met with the chinese president and she's in paying the read direct meeting with china is leader caps, 3 days of high level talks to jake sullivan. now those folks come at the time of

heisen tensions between the super powers across a range of issues dw, use, east asia correspondent, james chase, that reports now. china's top diplomat twomey in talks with us national security advisor, jake sullivan. it's the 1st trip of an american national security advisor to china since 2016 or in recent years, these 2 officials have met several times in the countries, often to stem spiraling tensions between the 2 superpowers. but this is the 1st time they've met engaging on the agenda, managing friction across a range of issues including china is growing relationship with most go as well as tensions with more symptoms. asian parts like taiwan. president biden has been very clear. his conversations with president, she is committed to managing the support relationship response hanging over the taxes, the coming us selection donald trump has promised to double down on his tough thoughts

towards badging. from his last time enough that night, including raising terrace on china is good. but coming to harvest is yet to make clear how she'll approach relations with china. always taking a strong stones at the recent democratic party bench, the user on space, an artificial intelligence that america, not china, wins the competition for the 21st century. but regardless of who wins november's election, the complex security picture awaits in the south china sea. this week, tensions between china and the philippines continue to similar with manila accusing badging of running it's vessels and don't choose day japan public. he claims for the 1st time that the chinese military aircraft had preached as as space. tokyo said, the incident with a serious violation of the countries over instead of aging,

said that it was investigating the matter. i'd like to emphasize that china has no intention of invading the aerospace of any country. just so staging and washington has sold some managed expectations for outcomes from the tools. so with the voters, how few months ahead in us politics, simply keeping ties on a stable for thing will be a wilson result really mccovie says the deputy deputy director at the center for strategic and international studies. she has a particular interest in us china relations, which is why it is a great time to have a here on the program with us. welcome to the w, considering that the current state of affairs tell us how significant it is that president, jo biden's, national security advisor has had this meeting with the chinese president with a change in paying god to be here. i think it's, as you mentioned, a highly uncertain and ball chow time in the relationship. we have ongoing conflict in ukraine in the middle east. we have

a new administration in taiwan. we have chinese aggression in the south china sea against the philippines. and we also have a very dynamic us selection cycle happening right now with major changes over the past month in terms of aerospace replacement of fighting on the democratic ticket. so i think given the binary restriction strategy of managing periods of tension and ensuring that competition does not lead into conflict, a visit really makes sense in that context. and i think china is watching very carefully the selection. and i probably want to know the future direction of us, china policy of this age. you mentioned some of the issues, but china are in the us seem so completely oppose on site. there are so many issues . so what is it that drives them to keep tool king, and what do they have to lose if things go from bad to worse? so i think both sides are dealing with major,

internal and external challenges. the international environment, as i mentioned, is increasing. we've all a tile increasingly complex and both states will have to deal with that. i think what drives this particular engagement is on the us side, a desire and then an acknowledgement that the binary stations not out of office yet we still have several months. this is a really important and in dangerous time, in a way, in the relationship. there's also a bit of legacy thinking going on. uh, biden has already made progress with china and getting gaining cooperation on kind of narcotics, military to military communication and cooperation. and looking ahead, i think there's a desire to solidify that progress and ensure that future administrations are greeted with some degree of progress and some degree of institutionalization and formalization of these types of dialogues. as you say, we have a huge selection coming off in

a couple of months time from the chinese perspective. do you have a read on what a 2nd dose of donald trump would mean for the future of this relationship? and i think the chinese leaders vision are watching this election very carefully. i don't think they're jumping to conclusions. i think there's a lot of uncertainty about what a 2nd trump administration would look like in terms of china policy. we know that greater higher level tariffs has been threatened and, but we'll probably see a lot of consistency on the security issues and even economic issues between the 2 candidates. given there's a sense that whether it's the south china sea or taiwan, or even china support for russia, you print a russia against ukraine and type name, russia, china, and north korea ties. the security picture for the united states looks scary. and both by the, excuse me,

both parents and from will will be greeted with that security picture on the trade side. i think paris has, has announced that she will also continue terence on china. so we're not actually going to see huge differences. i think in the substance of china policy, we will see differences on the margins that i think a harris and ministration would be more interested in continuing the types of dialogue that we saw with sullivan's visit to beijing this week. really, michael wayne, director of the center for strategic and international studies. really, thanks so much for taking the time today. we appreciate that the 3 is into rushes will against you cry and most goes, both neighbors are trying to count to the stress of wall on their own soil, latvia, lithuania, and the sonia all constructing the so called bowl sick defense line toward of a russian attack. dw correspondent, erie russia, so went to the lapse in board

a town of casa to find out how the border region is strengthening its defense capabilities. can these concrete blocks stop russian tanks? but that is a job for so called dragons to use the lot the as a border with russia. they're part of the bolting defense line, and major project shall have to buy lots of yellow. so a new and estonia against the potential threats from neighboring russia is don't like a motion to extend them unless by no means underestimate the imperialist attitude and the level of aggressiveness in our neighboring country. so i don't want to make any assumptions here about what someone on the other side of the border might be up to. but we must strengthen our armed forces and our defense capabilities with our partners funding without fear or panic. so space to possibly bring up the specs, but possibly another thing. if the defense line goes beyond the drag and steep, it also includes on the ground bunker storage prolonged mines via the boulder and

securing supply routes. a few people in the baltic states expect and even entrusted at traces of these soviet, the policy us to visible in riga and dominion locked against a suspicious of the or for most of the buyers today. so to 3 years off the phone with the soviet union and to its in house gave us a sense of rushes full scale. invasion of ukraine defending 0, independence is more important. so lots vince then add that for this. i think it's necessary. i'm glad that it's finally being designed to type the alarm within your lea. fucked up the external bodies being strengthened is very good and upset. so as i'm or not, i think it's an unnecessary waste of money. patterson, that because it's useless from a military point of view or not i don't think russia would attack

latvia as the thing lucky is of no interest to russia. strengthening is a boy the also sort of another purpose that they fight against irregular migration . one of the ways that the russia and to neighboring brother was a waging, as so called hybrid war against the west. thousands of migrants has been trying to enter, you legally violated baltic states. or sorry to say he's a pose, a threat to the internal security of the a new ball with the installation such as the vase that we simply construct depends a meant to keep them out. there is a part of the scope of them up. all defense like this is a real deterrent. you can easily climate. so the migrants look for a place where there is no fence. all the damage defense and leave traces behind bad, even the ball, the gods. notice this, let me check on immediately stop looking for the perpetrators on the community. so suck migrations. plus the ultimate leaves,

the bolted defense line is intended to stop or at least slow down as possible. rush innovation, an important part of a large scale nato defense project in response to the russian hill of aggression ukraine. yanna thoughtful is the head of nato strategic communications. center of excellence, i asked him earlier about the likelihood of a russian attack on the baltic states. i think at this point it is hard to tell, is it imminent or not? but the fact that it is not something that you can rule out, i think is a good one and for they pushed or is peace through strength. because from put into perspective weakness in whites, aggression strength, the tacit. but do these physical defenses like we just soul being built in that report? do they really also much protection? would they also much protection when so much of russia's invasion of ukraine relies on drones, on blood bones,

on all the guided missiles. i don't think it is a total protection. i don't think even there is a plan that it will be everything that is put to stop brushing innovation. if that happens, it is more about slowing down as we see in the battlefields in ukraine. it has been very, very fact too, especially for the ground troops advances, which are the core of the russian military. do the baltic states share the same level of commitment to building up these defenses on the borders with russia. oh, yeah. so i think that as well there is clear caught common commitment and it's not just from a political or policies. you can also see the level of defense spending going beyond 3 percent of g d p that reflect that commitment. and also the fact that there is a popular support,

these kind of measures including spending money on it. so i think it is very, very clear. there is a consensus in the baltic states and to a point to i would argue also in finland. now much of the build up of these defense lines is about protecting against a full scale invasion that might happen in the future. but people say that pollutants, hybrid war is already on the way in your experience, how effective is rush. the strategy of sending would be my friends to test these board is well, it is a rather a fact to on both fronts, both on the kind of all over roaming the support systems for these people that are getting into the you. but the other thing is, of course, by increase of numbers, it also creates internal political pressures that are more of a long term game for russia. but i think there's

a clear cut strategy behind that. and the, the full kind of having a control system that we can put in place over these is, is important. is there a danger of, i can ask you that governments use this, the 1st of all, the stress of russian military invasion as a cover for trying to keep migrants out. well, that was a big debate in the early faces when they butler started this. and this strategy and the internal and also you discussions, but clearly uh it was concluded that it undermines a national security. there still open ways from a legal instruments and the legal measures to get a. so i live in, in, in you and, and last year in the baltic states, but not in the way and full as bellows and increasingly russia are trying to do it

. okay. if we play out for a moment, the scenario web solution does attack tanks and soldiers roll across the lot, the lithuanian and the stony and borders. how is ne, so actually positions to help fights to help re supply these member states? if they did have to take up arms against russian forces. the 1st and foremost the uh, primary plan is to that, that uh such a scenario. but if that fails, obviously, nato is prepared. as it has been said, uh natal surgery will be defended from the 1st centimeter, but of course that entails the forward positions, forces of nato in the 3 baltic states, also in poland and other countries. it also entails the rapid reaction forces that are sizable. it entails the ability to do joint air defense

for the uh, nato nations. and that is certainly something that has been put on on, on, on that extra speed. these developments our last 22 and a half years younger son's head of nitro, strategic communication, center of excellence. thank you so much for your time today. we appreciate that. and here's a quick reminder for you of our top story is that the seller is ready, middle tree says it killed 5 militants, and the northern westbank come to us. the 2nd day of nature is rainy incursion into the multiplied palestinian territory. the un secretary general is calling for an immediate hold to the operation. the hon. concord has convicted to jed unless the sedition, it's the 1st ruling of its kind defense. the territory was handed back to china in 1997. the 2 men, what editors of the now defunct liberal outlets stand against, they face up to 10 years in prison. with that you are up to date is coming up
