still able to take on debt, how to bring business conditions into a setting that companies are optimistic again. companies are optimistic again. we have seen, as you said, when the coalition failed, and we had big arguments among the partners that business sentiment was really sentiment was really on an all—time low — as low as during the pandemic — and i think if he manages to restore business confidence on an all—time low — but also to stabilise and improve expectations of households, we would see growth again, and we would have more focus on how to deal with our economy over the next with our economy over the next five to ten years. what are your thoughts on what he had to say not long five to ten years. after the results were coming through about the us administration and the german relationship with america?

i think this is the big issue. i think this is the big issue. this was discussed yesterday evening, after the election results came out — they were all sitting together and it is clear that this is the elephant in the room — we need to make sure that we stay on track with the us, that we have good negotiations, that we can make a deal with trump when it comes to trade policy. in the past the main concern was the impact of trade tariffs on the german economy — germany is very expert oriented, the us is our biggest trading partner, so we have a keen interest here. but now it has shifted to the security question in europe — especially related to ukraine. ursula von der leyen and antonio costa have arrived in kyiv this morning to join president zelensky on the third anniversary of pressure's thought lineker full—scale invasion of ukraine. they have just announced a new payment of 3.5 billion euros to be paid and march as well as plans to

from the eu, from the member states, from the us, from the uk, of course, obviously — this is one of the strongest and probably one of the main reasons behind the fact that ukraine stays alive and kicking. the chinese ecommerce giant alibaba has announced it will invest $50 billion in artificial intelligence and cloud computing. last week the company's share price soared by 15%. at the time analaysts suggested the company would make big strides in the data side of its business over the next three years. alibaba was once the face of chinese tech and entrepreneurialism. an online retail giant whose self—made founder was china's richest man until he fell out of favour with beijing. now the once maligned tech exec is

back. last week he was seen in a meeting with president xi jinping alongside other business leaders and alibaba is posting strong figures, its share price up 6% this year. like every tech company it has set its sights and money on al. in a blog post it said it wanted to become a key partner for companies developing and applying al to the real world as models evolve and need more computing power. it is investing not only in its own ai products but a number of other chinese start—ups. the announcement has excited investors, especially as it

some people, they listen to russia position, but many people understand us. i know many, i have many friends from europe that as washington decides whether to keep helping this are called up to fight. because if everyone had done that from the start and not hidden, we would have had peace for a long time already. ukrainians do want peace, but not at any price. america, so far, is reluctant to give them. dimko enlisted as a drone pilot last year. on him and his comrades. i still, i am still willing
