fact that if china in race to the u.s. to give them back sounding china has invested in germany holland belgium france spain malta you stumble in greece and u.k. all portals in europe have the chinese all the shit. out of the city is a psychologist and author lived in china for 6 years and observed the abend surround the new silk road development with a critical eye. she thinks the italian government was trying to create an economic advantage for itself but underestimated the plant's political dimensions but a lot of the theory could he acknowledged meant of this political project by a member of the g 7 had a great propaganda value also in china itself and caper by getting this the current battle for this the new silk road is quite clearly and economic project and like all projects in history in china and the u.s.

saying it's not an act of charity they are pursuing their own interests. it's obvious that china is trying to gain a global foothold through key infrastructure investments such as. the us to the north east of italy could also become an important logistical center for the chinese. francesco party easy as a businessman who's currently planning to bring a new investor on board to build a 2nd container terminal interest. rate of the mean the movement basement necessary to further expand to have. reasonable contain

a term 300000000 year old who we are ready to discuss with the other about this if they have any interest to that event it can easily get you that but we have been discussing for all time with trainees interested in the port of tree asked the set to expand further until now it has only handled $790000.00 container ships a year by comparison iran's handles 6 times as much congo. francesco parties burma has been involved in the transportation business in europe and the rest of the world for almost 200 years along with his son he's the 8th generation to run the business the company has survived 2 world wars but today's challenges are just as great and now you need the routes to asia to stay competitive he says it is not that we are giving preference to face these is this.

reality is that china has grown and and instead trading the number one in that and if we are involved in the stick which is connected to international trading you cannot simply close your eyes in front of what has developed you try to participate so this is simple it's. easy and his son have invested in china themselves and make 2 thirds of their turnover with asian customers. in spite of their old european traditions they have long become a part of the new chinese silk road. europe is not anymore the center of the world is the no time so we have to take opportunities with the rise and where we find in specially where we find. people who. are willing to. shared the same values that not all the make money but.

behave with some. ideas that are part of the theory of the problem for the porter to s.t. is that china could be an opportunity because china intended to make investments of course and italy needs than you thought and was again more the bizarre of the wrist the main thing at the same time we have to be very careful when we make any deal with china. but. its economic power is vast and can be overwhelming or thaw for the our boss gets out of the i. chang is waiting for visitors from china. and so you

have. holidays. i'm like a bridge between 2 countries between 2 peoples. i have the chinese really want to come to greece because they want to learn a lot about the culture of eating greece the mythology the history. that's why they love greece so much the 2 countries are similar they both have a lot of history and. the roots of the eastern world are in china the roots of the western world are in greece what it is. before the coronavirus hit it was always busy around the foot of the acropolis chiang had groups every day the number of chinese tourists in greece had been growing rapidly and some 800000 work spectate this year. now because of the coronavirus pandemic the stream has dried up completely. tourism is an integral factor in the new chinese silk road

petros chang says tourists from china bring money and often become long term investors. first we have to wait until the coronavirus is over. then greece will need capital and china has capital. the chinese state really has a lot of money at once to invest in greece. china has come to greece as a friend not the way the west colonized asia or africa in the past. china's approach is we can. we invest and it's a win win situation for us both she that you will get want to get these. in. the real estate lobby is profiting from the deal with the chinese more than

most other sectors. she would try for the money the greek government started issuing so-called golden visa and 2013. so when you come these seas we have far too many people in a 5th floor of. the world come. to love your apartment in the heart of downtown it was surrounded by some perverse areas and it used to be with 2 bedrooms and now we are fixing it and the other i draw my next bathrooms this is the inspiration for the furnace. there are 3 bedrooms like this. it would be more proud of your own we are even if not of your family thinking you can leave us an office space in the kitchen this week. and we are going to keep him here. with his small and hairy would be an extra strain so the way they

want here i am going to show you the balcony with a balcony and love you enjoy your 1st cup of coffee with a big. barbecue here you can it's like the space is really big and they can get all the space in those. few. months money for. greece has issued 6000 gold and visas to the chinese in the last 5 years. and sold a lot of property to. golden visa. tiny grays they were the 1st foreign investors that they left their money here they paid for these because after the quake financial crises after. that the 1000 they say 200-2012 no

one was buying like all the proper things were falling down most of the chinese owners don't want to appear in front of the camera some have come to europe for political reasons others are cautious towards the media it's an open secret that money laundering and corruption are also an issue of the e.u. has sharply criticized the program. the clients that we have are usually from the rapidly emerging chinese middle class they come here because they want to secure a future. in europe they want to give their children the opportunity to live here they want to give themselves the opportunity to retire here. a lawyer in athens puts us in touch with a client from shanghai who is in the middle of a legal dispute over her flat in athens. her whole family laboriously

saved up for the 290000 euro apartment. investment in greece and freedom of travel within the entire shang an area for the whole family sounds attractive even in times of the coronavirus. like the greek went through lifestyle. greece is a country with a long history. with this visa i can buy a piece of this lifestyle. there are a lot of chinese making this investment including in my circle of friends. golden visas remain in high demand though the coronavirus pandemic has dampened the real estate market with significantly fewer visas issued due to travel restrictions and the temporary suspension of the residence by investment program unlimited travel and a globalized world where you can commute between shanghai and athens have been put on hold but the estate agents don't think it's a bell's the end of this lucrative market i think that after the recovery that we

are expecting soon. the chinese clients are going to come here and keep buying property just like they did before and as as you said the chinese middle class is rapidly expanding so i don't see any reason why this may stop. and increasingly globalized world the fish market in athens is still bucking the trend and dealing mainly locally caught produce. i. i. i oh most goods come to europe from asia through the suez canal. the e.u.

citizens profit enormously from cheap chinese imports. but a sudden shortage of personal protective equipment during the coronavirus pandemic has highlighted europe's dependence on each it's. such a nice thought that if somebody comes in my child and i was the workbench of the weld. were used together that gets good cheaply and exploring chinese one can see there on no little bit as we were doing that the chinese when learning from us and starting to do it themselves that they have overtaken us in many. areas of technology. and that's just how china's new silk road got going. investments and ports bridges or roads all serve to bring goods to customers. the u.s. is still the e.u. is most important trading partner but trade with china has tripled in the last 20

years. china has been investing in the board of directors since 2008 and became the majority shareholder there and 2016 it's the perfect gateway to europe. over the last few years the chinese have turned curious into the biggest port in the mediterranean. and they're planning to make it the biggest port in europe pledging $600000000.00 euros of additional investments in the next few years. then they think they can make i was born and raised in prayers and be a boy you know it's a city i love him and we met. i have felt connected with the sea in the pool

since i was small while before you me clean this place will be on now is important to us. not only for its charm and atmosphere now it's deserted. but because it's a park with an open access to the sea. and because it was us you managed to keep it that way less than you think. on a star francis scott he believes that the old port area belongs to the city's residents and has long been campaigning to get them access to it again. she's been a left wing series of parties maritime policy spokeswoman that is skeptical about the chinese dream and. she believes massive investments by beijing what also have political consequences for her country. some of the consequences do

not depend on a government that is in power. and accept them at the. same. for example when the e.u. wanted to pass certain resolutions regarding china's expansion in the south china sea. we had a link between government here that had its doubts about to see. that escapes. e.u. member greece broke a political taboo by siding with the chinese greece has also been silent about beijing's actions in hong kong. money francis scott he says makes you dependent. she's particularly worried about the e.u.'s divisions over china. but the realization that europe has to speak to china with one voice is slowly gaining ground. others think the minister for europe has not yet reached a consensus on how it wants to deal with china or what its attitude towards china

are is. europe has no clear now a sense of what china is doing china's behaves differently from western countries and his ministry in particular economic policies. europe no longer has the tos that china has namely state owned enterprises and china is clearly using these tools the small p. . the corona crisis has highlighted europe's left of contingent. even italians like ricardo rocky otto felt. china exploited the divisions by sending aid to italy. europe a bench really came up with investment programs but small businesses like ricardo's

felt this help came too late. and. i have a little could you foresee. i would have really liked to have seen a united europe as everyone had predicted a strong union with fundamental coordination for something the core of the i mean i would have liked to have seen those with more opportunities to help the others a true europe you know obviously i mean all ok. but in the end it didn't work out that way in which everyone close the borders and said here's a brick washer on dirty laundry at home by the sparking about the really. really showed us that we can't talk about a single year obviously most i took it from them and the main thing was in the bush and with a lot of the overall. anyone who comes to trast can still experience the charm of the old habsburg monarchy. 100 years ago the port city was a trading hub to eastern europe. the iron curtain interrupted the links for decades

. now the city wants to return to its former glory and is hoping the chinese will help it. when the silk road agreement was signed in march 29th tree este was at the center of attention. northern italy was slated to become a major transshipment center for chinese exports. zenner d'agostino who is head of the port authority thinks china's interest interest is proof of its growing significance. be seabeds peace think you will is growing a lot all vase nations. very easily accessible by by the fault of the us this shore you know i feel it is very simple if you look at the bit of the map you see that if you bust through 3 s there and you go to hungary

through germany to also you arrive. there vying busing from an over a range ports. the city is investing even more in its rail network and in the port itself. built over 100 years ago its direct links to eastern europe are still there they just have to be upgraded. but also at pains to emphasise that although it welcomes investments from china it has no intention of selling off the port lock stock and barrel what was a free as a goal 2 years ago a problem amato for transport became a geopolitical issue no if you said the port authority you say ok spot of it that it has no more my territory and this was than an increase this is not what is happening here below is the port authority the president is it that i

am directly governed by my minister so you know we don't say and we will not said this that they bought the report. the port city on the adriatic sea has suddenly found itself in the midst of a global trade war. every investment the chinese make in europe angers the u.s. and exacerbates the standoff between the u.s. and china. francesco parisi has decided on a partner to help trust expand not china but a european investor at the port of hamburg. he stresses that this is a purely economic calculation but he doesn't deny that political factors also played a role or easy remembers the cold war and is worried about any new confrontation. these confrontations situationally with the warriors of another cold war. is a matter of culture for me personally and for my business in general it will not for

me in general as it is as a citizen of the european you are. we contributing to an issue of trade for sure a bridge we could see that to be helpful to. keep in mind a piece of the debate about the role europe will play in the trade war between the u.s. and china is nothing new and is not limited to the economy. be a spectacle i hope to some european leadership because if not europe risks becoming the battlefields to china and usa and europe can be the 3rd key player in the global arena i hope that's what europe decides to do things better. politicians in rome are also gradually turning against china. human rights violations haven't been

a reason to cut down on business so far. but world wide criticism is growing. these 3 members of parliament are part of a cross party alliance on china. they want to see a tougher stance towards beijing. when you make an economic agreement with a country that doesn't respect human rights you are dealing with human rights because it means that you don't care much we need that utopia he needs to defeat another single counter each of the so you are peas already too small to add up real early with china all together but one single country can't have a stronger relationship with china and that's true so if you google in debt interaction

. as equally it's sure that you will lose that relationship so i believe that is the most important mistake. above and beyond party politics be the left wing centrist. conservative what unites these politicians is the worry that europe is not speaking to china with one voice. because china is focusing on us so we want to focus on china because china has a very strong agenda with using any kind of energy and sign or g. to expand its influence over all the countries of the western world and therefore we must have an agenda to what is the kind of investment they do can have the kind of trade of scientific operation we gave with the gentry which in a sustained way but events any sort of corporation even now when they have to be

in china is totally. and is the country of censorship about the real origin made and consequences of the baby. so europe is now coming to realize that china is no longer a purely economic power but also a political one. meanwhile the dock workers union in paris has come to terms with its new chinese bosses and is trying to negotiate workers' rights as best it can. be a media one of the affair over the last 10 years our experience with the chinese has been that they always negotiate as hard as they can and demand as much freedom as possible and that in the but if you set your limits if they come up against strong structures like a state or a trade union then they respect that they accept our limits. the port of curious

will remain under chinese control until 2052 when the lease expires although it could of course be extended. but i think china already has enormous influence. and i don't think it needs any moves done just like this and as a citizen of careers i would like to see the point return to a return to greece again after the transfer of the 3rd party news has expanded. the 29000 agreements between italy and china has caused a lot of us but now there are other investors who are pushing ahead with the development of the port of trust many entrepreneurs however have other worries right now we will have to see you want to call me the impact will be on the world trade because this is still something no one has a clue about so for now italy is still part of the silk road even though no chinese

money has flowed into trust so far. i always say what to me didn't become part of where we're. over but there was the initiative but it does feel pretty the accept our view of the betterment of our place is on very mari time she called about the baby needed this idea of the very moment i thought in money every chinese arrived we have funds and they yes we have our i.d.'s we know what 3 years to come because meanwhile the keller garage the man who engineered the deal in the 1st place believes that the fear of china is totally exaggerated and could have disastrous consequences for italy my forecast because of geopolitics a misunderstanding i think of the likely scenario that i have now is that italy. slows down and the cooperation with asia slows down on the cooperation with china

slows down on the development of technology slows down on the development of infrastructure forces from all the ways which are all the things that we need that that we do not to do by ourselves and so italy will fall back into the middle age. project out the program china has plans preprogrammed and pursuant to political economic project when you have one final that she jinping is a ready thinking about 2049 and china is doing exactly what they wanted today or where your appraisal now they have such enormous economic power in the world it is natural for them to want to have a voice in the world they are clearly saying we need to not want to influence the world or the western can or frame to mourn the. love. love. love.

our documentary series from slavery routes starts march 10th on t. w. . cut. faces day deputy news live from but end kremlin critic alexei novelli is to stay in prison a call. up holds the russian opposition leader's sentence for violating his parole and finds him guilty of defamation in a 2nd trial we'll go live to moscow also coming up u.s. president biden declares a major disaster in texas where people have been forced to queue up for drinking water after a catastrophic winter snowstorm breaks have it across the state. and

police in myanmar shoot at least 2 people dead officers filed live rounds to disperse demonstrators in mandalay calling for an end to military rule many more are reported injured we'll hear from a protester in mandalay. becker it is welcome to the program a court in moscow has found russian opposition leader alexei navalny guilty of defamation in a trial in moscow a different court earlier rejected the appeal against his jail sentence in another case but it did reduce his sentence slightly taking into account time already served in house arrest is now to spend around 2 and a half years behind bars for violating parole in an earlier case the kremlin critic was unable to made his parole officers because he was in germany seeking medical treatment due to poisoning with

a nerve agent. of the latest let's go straight to moscow a d w correspondent emily show and is standing by emily where these verdicts are surprise to you. there were kind of no surprises today rebecca 1st the fact that the court rejected the appeal on the earlier case today leaving me in prison and now the fact that he has been said to be guilty of slander the court is currently right now in reading. reading what kind of measure he's going to get in this case where a veteran is accusing him of defamation that veteran was in an advertisement for the reforms the constitutional reforms which i think see now viney criticized on

twitter and that's why he's being accused of slander it has become a reason for state t.v. to portray alex in of me as unpatriotic whereas me himself throughout this court case has been arguing that the veteran is being used as a puppet and for the interests of the state and of the kremlin that he's been criticizing and we're seeing live pictures of we were just saying live pictures all of them reading out exactly what you were just describing there i know it's early days or certainly for this ruling but what are the reaction so far to the verdicts today. well as i say the guilty verdict is not much of a surprise when it comes to the earlier verdict without rejected appeal several of these allies came out criticizing that decision of the court they said that it was a disgrace they said that it showed that there is no rule of law in russia after

all this verdict comes over a case that the european court of human rights already in 2017 ruled arbitrary and unreasonable and i think it was being accused of breaking the conditions of his parole last year when he was actually in a coma after having been poisoned now and i mean himself has been defiant all day he had 2 opportunities to make a final statement in those 2 cases and he used them very much as a platform to criticize the kremlin to criticize the rule of law in russia and to say that as he thinks russia will be free and russia will be happy well certainly a blow to russia a rupture of russian opposition data for his ammunition thanks very much for that analysis. u.s. president joe biden has declared a state of major disaster in texas following a crippling winter storm at least 2 dozen people have died in the unusually cold

like a lot longer but today marks one year since the italian city of god on a record of its 1st locally acquired case of covert 19 soon was revealed to be the 1st major outbreak in europe the virus tore through the region of one body shifting the epicenter of the pandemic from china to italy. it began with a nasal swab that the fired hospital purchase everybody said why why are you deciding. decided to to perform it don't you know that is not at risk. our protocol does and doesn't suggest that why are you doing it and i to explain. many times. why i wanted to perform it anyway the hunch turned out to be right the man became the 1st italian colonel virus patient to become we couldn't believe it we thought this was

a faraway problem that had to do with china but it was already here with us and not just from february 20 but probably from much earlier what ensued was europe's 1st major outbreak within a month to daniel's death toll more than tripled the virus spread to other parts of italy and the rest of europe had its 1st look at what might be heading their way. one year on the situation is karma but few have been left unaffected by the pandemic. it has revolutionized our lives we are no longer afraid to live the normality we had before the very v.v. of a normal life normally. doing life has become completely flattened also for us it has changed us we seem like prisoners. while the number of patients in intensive care units has dropped doctors here are still not at ease we have. a vaccine now but. there are new vireo and there are still

a lot of positive cases so this situation will will last. a long lockdowns in restrictions remain in place across italy with the fight against the disease far from over. so as for now in german football dortmund and shell have faced off in saturday's douby bottom place chalco are desperate for a win that would give them a chance of escaping relegation for dorman though they need just 3 points to enhance their chances of champions league qualification. amid an exasperating season brucia documents were given a timely boost this week the announcement that go out by coach markov also would take over next season was followed by a 32 win over severe in the champions league last 16 europe's elite competition is where they want to be and the darby win would be a huge step in the right direction is in in their league behind in the league we

need point and it's a darby we won't be handing out present kind of wishing at the 4th time but dortmund have been in generous mood lately they haven't kept a clean sheet since the 3rd of january and keeper marvin hits us had a torrid time as replacement for one turkey at the other end of the pitch telling holland has been a model of consistency for the black and yellows the impressive young no we didn't has 15 been does lee good goals to his name but as many as shelters entire squad one thing the league's bottom side hasn't been short of this season is head coaches christian goes is their 4th of the campaign the swiss says a win is more important for his team. and raises the need a lot more point than daughter to do more in the sense that we're doing everything we can xin it as we know it will be relegated to me and. that makes the game a real poder care gk. results of shellcode are finally to

light the royal blue touch paper they need to start scoring goals a miserable return of 3 in their last 6 games shows why don't land our heavy favorites. here watching data news coming up after a short break a sports live stage that expires that will be with you next hour until then there's always. as our website dot com i'm rebecca resist thanks for watching. i think is everything challenging for something i make a muslim. school much different culture between here and there challenging for if. true solicitously think it was worth it for me to come to germany

to. shop and figure out my license to work as a swimming instructor to shine our 2 children $100.00 just rushed just to show. your story take part cherished on info migrants got. to take out the favorite. hobby the. cost. of. becoming a pro footballer in europe was just kind of a mole a childhood dream but he has made it thousands of young people come here from africa every year with the same dream. you have like 6000 kids coming from up to go

but out of the 600 i can tell you maybe 4 or 5 would make it what a more diverse. names there are no more than my current. i am a father of 2. and has been to a lovely wife and also a philanthropist. i have a fondness for him back home in kenya where i grew up. i tried to help the kids to get what you need to give them hope. but i leave it. so what's it like to be one of the few african footballers who make it from europe to one of them all is one of 2006 africans currently playing abroad the kenya international left his home in 2007 but he hasn't forgotten where he came from. he

has the same urge to give something back to the community as african superstars like didier drogba. summer eto. and sanyo money who became role models for every young african football. it was never easy for johanna the place he grew up in still haunts him today. than dora is an eastern suburb of nairobi it's known for being the biggest dump site in kenya. and pretty difficult place i live pretty close to the dump site walking distance 3 minutes so it was really really really. understand since i better start. unfortunately i have you know a lot of fun is new and less than

a dollar right and that means education is not so the only thing was more or quite. because i stuck to what. has been living in europe since 2007. so. his 2 kids were born here in belgium and they called the country hope. just one example of how much has changed since you arrived in europe. turned out the 5 clubs in belgium most recently spent 4 years with the small of the to bruges based 1st division clubs. as a kid i had never in my did and i would be a place like this. now. you can come from playing just pick up. whatever you choose you know and going there you could not we played without shoes

beginning one way and no shoes with the boys you know. the boys the. boys told me. it was you know and it was just fun just to distract us from from everything that's going on around you it was. and i skip. all the trashiest from all of them they don't know if anyone thought their trash can do. we. just left we used plastic bags from the garbage to make. my friends you know. so. it became part of our lives.

there's a saying in kenya nothing good comes from dunder. what worries johanna is that kids like alice sundra are still facing the same problems a bit he faced as a youngster 20 years ago. life is hard in the ghetto sometimes you go without food you get used to it sometimes you watch somebody get mugged they just want to feed their families they're for life here is very hard many have left football for crime we have buried a lot of them and life goes on. johannes parents don't live in dan door anymore with his help they were able to

move to a wealthier safer part of nairobi. his parents were initially skeptical that football could provide a stable career when he was 13 his mother stopped him from going to norway for trials 2 years later he went and gave the money he earned to his mom. was. when he brought me the money i realized that even football can be beneficial. his father had retired but i was still cutting people's here for money. by this time johanna had already entered the football academy of a belgian agent in kenya and aged 17 he signed his 1st contract in europe. as players. so were never. were never. given. it.
