see. these awful german children had a hard time because they were reminder of the german defeat and. exclusion and culminated in forced sterilization under the nazis. this documentary examines the few traces that remain of their existence. the children change. storage january 11th on d.w. . it's a deal 7 years in the making today could be the day the e.u. and china announce a breakthrough for their massive investment pact we tried to get some details from a china analyst in singapore also coming up thinking of switching a copper to something more profitable chinese farmers all. branching out to make

a pickup truck and it's only go. without a very warm welcome to do that we have business and want to get jones and berlin good to have you with us the european union and china are on the brink of a historic deal regulating foreign direct investment or f.t. i mean the 2 major economic blocs a 7 years in the making the deal is aimed at allowing e.u. firms 3 to compete on a level playing field in china after years of struggling with protectionist and discriminatory behavior especially by local and licensing authorities the deal will also allow chinese companies more access to markets where they have been shot out of strategic sectors like energy and that's because the e.u. fear that china could use such access to steal intellectual property as part of the deal china has also agreed to adopt higher labor and environmental standards the e.u. says the talks have concluded at a technical level and they'll be more details available at an e.u.

china leaders' meeting scheduled for later today a more let's bring in our china analyst fraser howie of who is joining us in singapore if i'm not mistaken good to have you with us let's start very briefly with that meeting later today can we expect an announcement will the deal be announced today. i think it will be announced that the all the science. stories are. well. so what do we know about it already i believe there was a press briefing yesterday but in terms of the detail certainly with a level playing field what do we know. well that's right it's certainly something that as you say this is a landmark china it's been a long time and there's just been this completely arbitrary self that goes that life because of the german presidency that expires today so there was a rush to get it but this year the details are still pretty lacking all the things

strange and level playing field more equal access china's access to the markets labor rights all of those things are certainly going to be covered but sadly feel the timing is right bad and much of that will be quite vague and terms it's been very clear the direction of travel the chinese take it over the last number of years and i don't think this deal is ultimately going to prove that that bad about it will be beneficial or you'll be business will be done but ultimately holding china at time will be much much tougher because of this deal so you just say i mean that this deal is somewhat rushed in the details if we can call those details a very way they can it's all because of the ending germany you counsel presidency why was it that important then for germany to get this deal done. well i also i would say indeed it was a really good moment because you seem to feel text i'm sure this will be a large saltsman with lots of details come at me just on top of the moment i think

obviously germany has a lot of explorers going to china china is a very important market for many german companies and so there certainly be not a rushed as of the how this is i trying jewel if you like off the. americans translation and china german business relations so i think that's why you know or isn't it as i say i think the timing has become very bad for this given china's recent track record and so while i fully i'm for engagement with china trading with china i think the timing of this deal is very bad it sends a very wrong message politically especially with the new by and by it coming into the i said just a few weeks right right i mean and as you mentioned that i mean we know that in turn yourself a business relations china is already the e.u. is a biggest trading partner and with this deal do you saying there's the danger that the e.u. will sort of shift even further towards asia and away from the u.s. well i think yes and quickly yes because the growth is in asia so therefore you're

going to do more trade with a condom use that are those growing faster growing economies are unusual but i think there's been a very clear lesson this year and that is i will still use being treated by china i are economic depends on china comes cost and i think it would be far better for the democracy of the world to unite and our common and unified position on dealing with china and response to economic really and i think the e.u. has missed an opportunity to work with its allies here to get a better longer term deal with china it's somewhat rushed this deal to get the deal done but ultimately i think the timing is baidoa in some ways that tension is a good one right trace to how we there with very mixed feelings about the upcoming china investment deal thank you so much thank very much. cannabis used to have a bad rap s. and illegal narcotics but recently its reputation has been revived and a growing number of countries are legalizing the drug for recreation on medicinal
