1:01 am
ah. hello, enquire richard's been a very warm welcome to the show. we begin a summit of european union leaders and the 2 questions creating headaches and the vision. what to do about vladimir putin, russia, and what to do about a new law and hungry. a critics say is homophobic. well german chancellor, uncle and medical urge you to start its own dialogue with the prem lynn and not rely solely on washington, but hungry. the law is what is taking center stage out the summits. more than half of you. leaders condemns the legislation calling it discrimination that runs against you. values hungry, prime minister, victor, or ben says he has no intention of changing the law. the attend summit begins with a cold reception for hungary prime minister, victor, or bon. last week, his country pass the controversial legal amendment against content deemed by the
1:02 am
government to promote homosexuality. how are you? good, how are you? i'm a freedom fighter in the communist regime. homosexuality was punished and i fought for their freedom in the rights. so i am defending the rights of the whole sexual guys, but the slope is not about that. it's about the rights of the kids and the parents feel. the law makes it illegal to allow children and teenagers access to books or films which depict any kind of sexuality aside from heterosexuality. for some that goes against everything that stands for formation. number me, there's nothing for hungary into european union, but unfortunately in the system we currently have, i can't do anything on my own about. i can only course them out with the support of the other members state. another figure who is not in brussels, loomed large france in germany's leaders say it's time for the you to hold
1:03 am
a summit with russian president vladimir putin for the 1st time since 2014 news as well. and you know, it's our responsibility to have a demanding dialogue defending our interesting as europeans don't condition. so we will define european unity often talks with russia, which will be necessary for the stability of the european continental that we will not give up on our values or on our interest. other students to know under the novella need to know that other leaders, including those from the baltic states bordering russia, are not convinced the summit would be worthwhile. it's not the positive surprise because last 2 summits, we have had a very kind of discussion about russia and, and the papers also reflect that. so what has changed really and what is the purpose of this? but i'm really keen to listen what they will say about this and how, why it is fund the table now. so let's,
1:04 am
let's see. moscow says that we'll wait for more details on the proposed summit before it agrees to participate. and so if you will suddenly put them newburgh, and let's get more on this story from the dw corresponded to barbara, available in brussels, barbara or germany and france. want to see the european union engage in a leadership summit with russia. how was that going down with the other member states? not very well at all, because just a little while ago, it seemed that the new leaders were quite united over the description of the current relationship with russia. it is as a rock bottom, the worst ever that was the recent announces, and everybody was pretty much at. on the same page on that, however, marco, and in monro mcclung the french president, seemed to have loved and little political, hadn't grenade into this unity saying, despite of this all, we need to go forward and look for
1:05 am
a form and look for forum where we can meet in the future and we should get together as the e u. and as we saw with the biden coach in summit, we should have an new leaders put in summit and tell him what we think about his current behavior and maybe his past sins. how that is going to work out really is not quite clear, but it is the political initiative that is not very welcome at all. and the discussion it seems is still ongoing. at this point. it is rather endless. now i also want to talk about the other issue that appears to be looming large out this thomas, the e u is threatening to take legal action against hungry. what would that look like? it would look like the that the leaders have written a letter to the european commission and asking the commission to intervene. and to get this get this, the legal action is sort of process. that means that you can start in other
1:06 am
infringement procedure against hungary the i don't know how many of the 8th, the 9th, the 10th, and that it will again have to go to the european court of justice and ask for a verdict that is rather likely to be negative and what happens next in the end, the ball is going to come back into the d discord because at one point in the future they will have to vote on this. they will have to vote on the behavior of gary about, for instance, the role of voting rights for the country. and finally, the role of money. and that is the point when it will finally get serious for hungarian prime minister victorian and barbara just before we go. how is german chancellor, uncle american bidding a farewell at her last use? so much as chancellor we have no idea it is going to be very, very low key because we know that she absolutely hates personal attention and sort
1:07 am
of being having is made of her and all that. and the awareness didn't seem to be particularly widespread that this is in her life as a german chancellor, if she comes back in the fall might just be in a can't take a role or not at all. so it is a momentous summit in that sense, but however, we don't know yet how the other leaders are going to honor. it's ok, well we have been keeping account of barbara available in brussel. thank you so much for that recording. let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories that are making headlines at this hour. it's where nato in the czech republic has left a dozens injured. regional health authorities are currently estimating up to 150 people may be effective in towns of round the country. the southern quarter. austrian angela vakio rescue units are rushing to assist checked authorities in the emergency response circuit. leave your hand. kenyan soldiers have been in
1:08 am
a helicopter crash on the outskirts of the capitol nairobi. several others were injured. they were on their way to a training exercise. when the truck went down. if we officially that a total of $23.00 soldiers were on board with hundreds of pro democracy, protesters have to fight a ban on public gatherings to rally in bangkok. they called for a more democratic constitution and criticize the government's response to the code . at 1910, demik marshes have resumed after a few months break. in 2020 thailand saw protest nearly every day. hundreds of protesters have called for palestinian presidents, mahmoud abbas to quit following the death of a human rights activist. these are gone up shortly after his arrest by palestinian authority. security forces in the west bank. and it was an outspoken critic of the authority and his family say he was beaten to death. where su
1:09 am
teams are searching for close to a 100 people who are believed to be trapped under the rubble of a 12 story apartment building the collapse near miami, florida. a large section of the building crumbled in the middle of the night, killing at least one residence and injuring several others. now, a grieving community wants to know, how do they, modern building simply collapse? it was around 1 30 in the morning when firefighters arrived at this beach front condo in the city of surf, but florida 12 stories over $130.00 units at least $55.00 apartments collapsed, say local officials. many residents are still unaccounted for help in the whole morning. told them not just trying to ring their cell phone as much as we can either. i mean to help the rescue
1:10 am
just to see if they could hear her cell phone. but we have no clue building. sure. and then i looked out the window and you can see i thought it was like a storm or something coming in. and what happened was, when the dust cleared, there was the back half the building or back to dirge of the building was gone. it was hundreds of rescue workers, a searching the building. it meant to find some missing residents. but officials warren, the structural damage is severe the building has literally pancakes. it has gone down and i mean there's, there's just feet in between stories where there were 20. that is, is heartbreaking because it does, it means to me that we're going to be successful. as successful as we would want to be to find people alive,
1:11 am
the condo was built in 1981 since then work has apparently been done on the roof, but official stout, this cost the collapse. what ended up happening. but i know that they are going to have engineers looking at this to try to identify what were, what happened and what was the problematic occurrence. and so that probably you're not going to have those answers immediately, but i know that they are diligently going to be working this place. residents have found shelter with the red cross and in local hotels. for now. and let's get more on this story from our washington bureau chief as paul who joined us now from washington. d. c. it's still many residents missing one more. can you tell us about the situation? it's so horrible. i mean, we just heard the report. neighbors do not know what happened. family families do not know if they still have members in, in the collab building. we just heard or learned about a 10 year old boy who was rescued and he didn't want the police and firemen going
1:12 am
back in to look for other people because he was so scared of being left behind. so it's just a very dramatic situation in miami and when it comes to the reason why the building collapsed at this point, everything is speculation and nothing is really known. so we don't have any kind of indications about what the reasons are behind this class. because surely this is going to be the major question people are going to be asking in the coming days. absolutely, and like rightly so, right. you want to know why a building which is built in the eighty's was just like, collapsing was just like pancakes and leaving only kind of less than fees between the different levels. and hardly any chung, for the nearly 100 people still missing to survive. what has been the official response to this tragedy?
1:13 am
well, president biden offered pretty fast federal resources including assistance from the fema. this is always a very big thing. if this happens, this is the federal emergency management agency. and also, like florida's governor under sons is said that he will help all those who were displaced by one of the deadliest building collapses in the united states. history . r d w. washington bureau. she's in a poll. thank you so much for that update. let's turn to formula one now and world champion. louis hamilton says he's worried for the safety of the british public calling the the decision to allow 140000 fans to watch. next month, grand prix. a silver stone circuit organizers have been given the green light to fill out the entire july 16th 18 weekend paving the way the biggest
1:14 am
u. k. crowd. since the start of the pandemic, british crowds, cuz it is the best crowd of the whole year. so, you know, so last year we didn't have them, so to be to be able to see them and, and feel the energy that they bring into weekend. on the 2nd course, our new saw here about the case is going ups massively new k, and so on that side i work for people that's get a reminder of our top story just before we go your hand and union leaders, they discrimination against l. g, b, q people goes against you. value is somebody russell has a come, overshadowed by a route over hungry new lot. that ban sharing l g b t q. information with children. even leaders are also considering a proposal to reopen, direct talks with russia. but if your news update at our coming up next is e w business, don't forget there is always much more on our website as new dot com or you can
1:15 am
follow up on a sister. graham is twitter at c w. i'm sorry, richardson in berlin for me. and the entire team here working behind the scenes to bring you to show he's been watching the news . what secrets? why behind these was the discover new interest in the 360 degree the and explore fascinating world heritage sites. the c w world heritage. 360. now be your own health advocate. by turning into your own expert,
1:16 am
we or your coach without any fiction. watts's back. be active in a clever way. on d w. the a deal has been reached us president joe biden, and a bipartisan group of senators agree on an infrastructure plan where hundreds of billions of dollars after month of wrangling, we speak to our financial correspondent in new york. also on the show or washington correspondent, either poll states of german economy minister, peter outlier, or wisdom, the us for high level talk with and how to mass produce fully functional
1:17 am
homes out of cardboard. this is the w business. i'm janelle tamala, unwelcome. it was an arduous process, but us president joe biden has announced a bipartisan senate deal to spend nearly a trillion dollars on infrastructure over 5 years. the money will go toward building roads, bridges, and highways, and help stimulate the economy. the rare bipartisan support could eventually open the door to biden's more sweeping, 4 trillion dollar proposals. here's what he had to say. that answer direct question we have to do. and i think it's really important. we've all agreed that none of us got well we all, when we want it, i clearly didn't get all i want it. they gave more than, i think maybe there were trying to give in the 1st place. but this reminds me of the days we used to get a lot a lot done up in the united states congress. we actually work by part,
1:18 am
bipartisan deals, maybe compromise our financial correspondent, young court that joins us from new york. yeah, it's more of a victory for bite him than anything else. but as he said there, this is a compromise, a compromise between competing visions. what made it in and what was left out in the end? yeah, no, we have a deal, you'll see a white smoke in the background to actually front the team system up the new york subway service. so clearly there is some room for improvement when it comes to infrastructure. well, what's in the deal? this is the physical infrastructure also, railroads by the way, quite a bit and what is not in the deal, for instance, is how to finance this will be no text increases. so that's what republicans actually demanded. so it's a pure physical play. there will also be a social infrastructure program that joe biden is proposing also for hundreds of
1:19 am
billions of dollars, but that will be a separate issue. and then we have to wait and see this new plan actually will get a majority in the house of representatives. that's something to watch out for. definitely . but in other news, yann's strong u. s. g d p figures out today have analysts saying that this is the start of an economic surge. how much is there to that? well, i mean that's what i actually keep hearing more often in the past couple of days so that we actually might be an american renaissance. so there is a strong growth at the country, at least in some parts seem to reinvent itself. and that is also true for a lot of americans are creating their jobs. they're looking for new challenges. so there's a lot of movement here in the united states. i mean, having that said, we shouldn't forget yet. this year we might see the strongest economic growth since the mid eighty's, but clearly we partly finance that with huge dep lot in their trillions and that
1:20 am
eventually could leads to higher texas the big growth could lead to make the federal reserve change their monetary policy. so that could have an impact when it comes to the stock exchange. but overall, yes, it seems that the united states is actually performing very strongly when it comes to the overall growth. our financial correspondent, yann's core to their force and renaissance america. now let's take a look at some other business stories making headlines. the federal reserve says america's 23 biggest banks have all easily cleared its latest annual stress tests that paved the way for lenders to release billions in stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders. the west banks have thrived during the pandemic, boosted by stimulus packages and strong trading revenues. kathy pacific says all of its hong kong based air crew must be fully vaccinated against koby. 19 by august,
1:21 am
31 or else brisk losing their jobs. kathy has struggled to feel rosters recently due to hong kong strict quarantine rules. the airline says the vast majority of its staff have already been vaccinated. german economy minister peter outlier, is in the united states 1st, final tour and office. he's there for talks with biden administration, officials on trade and climate cooperation, but his visit is also about trying to iron out wrinkles in the german american relationship. among the biggest of those wrinkles, the north stream to project a german russian gas pipeline, that the u. s. functionally opposes or correspondent in this poll asked minister out meyer about a possible compromise. i cannot, i cannot talk about the details. my colleague, hypo masses, involve the and of course all the other members of government. but i said 3 aspects . crucially important. one is to take curity and safety of nations apply in europe
1:22 am
. second, this to justify the interest of ukraine as a country that is suffering most aggressive politics by its neighbor now for more than 6 years. and the 2nd one is that we want to find a solution that is future oriented that will create new business models for our new neighbors. and it also encourage our ration counterparts to improve, to improve climate protection measures. russia is an enormous country of enormous potential for renewable energy. is all these aspects taken into consideration? it is a conflict that is lasting for 10 years. it has been very counterproductive, and therefore we all hope my counterparts here and the ministers in beck. and we
1:23 am
all hope that we consult this now for a very long time. and every little chief, a solution by the end of august, by the latest with german administration, extended this from that ministration. we are heading to a general election by the end of september. but it will take some months until the new government can take office. and deb means that is still the responsibility of the city and government to advance as much as possible american fence. once we have a stable and reliable papa. and we have to make sure that despite the election campaign in germany, despite the formation of a new government, a gemini, is that as reliable partner. and it's we can exit anytime. when the consensus can be achieved between europe and usa. do you think that the buying that ministration will overturn the steel tariffs, policies of donald trump?
1:24 am
we have, we have make good progress of regard to the boeing case. we have agreed on setting up talks and negotiations and to the end of the year was a steel issue in germany as a strong believer in free trade world wide. i've been 3 years ago here in order to lobby against the increase of the state of tariffs. he still wants better solution than it is the case to day. but these are difficult negotiations because several 1000 new jobs have emerged in the states concerned, especially in pennsylvania. and u. s. and therefore, the europe commission as united states and also gemini, will have to make use of the additional time that we have got now, in order to find a compromise german economy minister, peter, all my,

are there now it's cheap, flexible, and environmentally friendly. a dodge team has managed to build an affordable whole made of cardboard, potatoes and flex the interior's made of wood. now that doesn't sound like the kind of shelter that would hold up against the elements, but you'd be surprised. in the netherlands, the dream of your own home is a lot cheaper and more sustainable now, thanks to vehicle house, which translates as wrap house made of cardboard. it was a money market, a manual with cardboard. and he noticed, could also be a wrapper not just folded. suddenly the box was much more stable. he bragged about it in a bunch of options. there were even bets on it being used to build a house. and very helpful was the beginning. 100 homes later, the houses are rolling off the production line, just unrolled the cardboard, wind it and glue it with paste, made from potatoes,
1:26 am
flex to the insulation. grown on local meadows. what kind of house made of cardboard really withstand bad weather? the surface, the won't mix the homeless sleep in cardboard boxes for a reason of either out there well insulated. then he goes soft in heavy rain. i don't have a house, so we gave a house a raincoat. he also said a go takes raincoat, completely waterproof, but lets water vapor out. that's important. i think has cost between 40085000 euros. it's a modular system with each segment measuring 5 square meters. it can be easily extended yet. it's very comfortable. house and it means that the 8 segments now this long, but you can make your home as big as you want. it feel theory. you could use a 120 segments. that'd be a tunnel in this chain, but you have the bathroom. all very compact is scope,
1:27 am
but i'll sit in the wash basin. the toilet is a washing machine hidden away here. last machine i stopped. i can shout back here. plenty of demand has even exports its modules. but not everybody is convinced design. so far, buyers have been mainly british french and belgian classical, the germans. they seem to be wondering about, made a paper can really work. but if anyone doesn't want to invest all at once, michel house can also be rented as a holiday home. and finally, the original source code for the world wide web, written by its inventor, tim berners lee, is up for sale. the london boring computer scientists is widely regarded as the father of the internet. so the use has become a week long auction for the code, which is the 1st ever a digital born artifact that has put under the hammer an image of burners lease
1:28 am
original 10000 line code has already attracted a bed of over $2000000.00. a pretty penny, that's it for me and the dw business team. thanks for watching the news . into the conflict with sebastian libya has a new government of national unity which promises free election by the end of the year when the road blocks it faces our alms militia groups still hold power throughout the country. i guess this week as tommy and vile living in the un engineers, how will this new government succeed conflict on
1:29 am
to the point? strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives, sunny days, bombing evenings, crowded football stadium. 1000000 inspection rates were looking pretty good this summer in europe until a new variant of compet made here. it's how sadly it's delta our topic on to the point to the point dw, ah, cruise the world to get to go beyond deals. yes. we take on the world, we're all about a story that matter to you
1:30 am
by police and i the we are here is actually on fire for mines the, there is more freedom of speech today and libya that ever was in the history of libya. it's in human treatment, it's barbarity miss the buyer. we have to give the government a chance. libya has a new government of national unity which promises free elections by the end of this year. but the roadblocks, in cases are on the militia route, still hold power throughout the country. they still kill and kidnap with impunity. my guess this week is tommy vile libby as ambassadors of the un in geneva from where he joins me. how will this new government succeed where all the others have
1:31 am
failed? the coming by, welcome to conflict zone. thank you. thank you for the 3 days off the new government of national unity was sworn in. there was a shocking reminder of how little unity there is in your country. up to 15 bodies were found handcuffed and done to the cement factory in the eastern city of bang ghazi, while life remain so cheap and murder is enjoy almost total. impunity in your country, there's nothing much to celebrate with this. new government is there. well, that's not necessarily accurate because we don't 1st of all, we don't know when this crime took place. secondly, as you know, during transition periods, things tend to be take a little bit of time to, to, to come to
1:32 am
a more stable environment where you're not suggesting to me that there are daily killings and discoveries of mass graves. if these killings go on. this government will fail, like all the others want it, that's the point. absolutely. and therefore it's extremely important for the international community, the united nations and all the mechanisms of the international organizations to come together and help the current government in every way possible. it's matter of fact here in geneva, if you checked into this, you would know that we have passed a resolution that the 43rd session, the human rights council, calling for a mechanism of accountability, calling for the ability to hold the dis, impunity of crimes committed to human rights violations committed. so we are seeking the help of the international community, the united nations, and all the various organizations to step in and help us be able to put into unity at a stop when you have a show much interest in doing that. in the past with previous governments have you
1:33 am
. this was just the latest of many mass killings which i was talking about by the dozens of militia groups that fight daily for control of your country. and unless your government never mind the international community, but unless your government comes to grips with these groups, the new government is going to be just as part of all the others, isn't it? well, again, we have to give the government a chance and let's keep in mind that the government has not even been in office for 30 days just yet. and there's a lot of work ahead. there's a tall order of tasks, but each be taken care of security and stability. but also keeping in mind that the role of the international community is extremely important. partnership that has come with the international community through the united nations is extremely important for the security instability, libya and the success of any government. so it is important for the international community to do as part let's not forget that we just came out of approximate yes.
1:34 am
i mean, you can turn it over to the international community as much as you like, but it's got to be done on the ground. and this is a government and it's a weak government. and it's going to be very difficult for it to gain control of those armed groups that have been allowed to capture so much of your state over previous years. and it doesn't look from what i've done. how many debate has said your intern prime minister, that he has very much of a strong commitment to either justice or more accountability? does it? well, you seem to be judging the government before it even has a chance to be able to do it by what it said, or what it hasn't said so far. less less judged by what has taken place a few weeks than it has been in our house. let's look at the efforts that have already been done to reno 5 institutions. let's look at the efforts that have been done and to civilizing the security situation,
1:35 am
the country through the joint military commission, which let's keep in mind again. they ended a war in libya last, you know, just a few months ago, we would not be talking what it says, it's a sci fi and it's a shaky c spot. so it's a bit premature to talk about the end of the war, isn't it? it's not a, a solid cease fire. i agree, but it is nonetheless there's cease fire, stop hostilities, and there is a chance for peace today. so let's embark on supporting this transfer piece. we've seen that there are, there are 2 major advantages in the debate, but government for the militia groups. firstly, he's weak. and secondly, for the time being he has the keys to the face. so it's in their interest to do business with him. but for how long they want to chance to get bands on money. and i see that he's already promised local government. a flurry of construction
1:36 am
projects in various regions as long as he continues buying off these groups, they'll go along with him. if he starts getting tough with them, they'll get rid of him when they well, again, you know, you can, you can pose these questions to the prime minister in know what his plans are. but let's keep in mind that when we have a proxy war, countries that were involved supported some of these armed groups in libya, which caused much of the of the destruction and disarray that we have been in. number 2, keeping in mind that we have been calling for e d r program as this our program. keeping in mind be what d d basically basically taking these young men out. these are group militias, environments, and in turning them into a more constructive and positive elements of society. this is going to take a long time, isn't. this is more so if you were to show it to measure this is only
1:37 am
a government that runs for 8 months that's, that's not forget, that's an interim government, isn't it? absolutely. so let's not hold the government so accountable for resolving everything with a magic wand. so we have to we can hold it accountable for certain things and in particular for the very corruption it should be promising to fight. because even before the there were documented attempts by the baby supporters to bribe delegates to support him. that's pretty outrageous behaviors in it. wow, those, those are allegations and that's what made by the un made by the u. n. so they're not based on nothing of it. well, the u. n is the same, is the same entity that supported the dialogue and supported the coming of the government into law. so they did the support the, the baby supporters who were trying to bribe delegates to vote for him. did they know in support that, that well again,
1:38 am
these are allegations that has not been proven of any sort and nothing has been stated by the un to that effect. well, the un inquiry said the pm supporters of bribes those hi as $200000.00 to induce people to vote for him. un report was quite specific. he said at least 3 such bribes were offered, although all of them are apparently turned down. well, again, let's ask the wind about that and why they supported the outcomes of the, of the dialogue and, and having the government come into into office. let's keep in mind again, it's a new government. it's a very well representative of the entire libya. it managed to brain the entire country together. this is the 1st time that we have one government, one legitimate, recognized internationally and nationally. and given the trust by the h o r, which has not been able to do so for previous governments. now how to representatives? that is correct as representatives. so we,
1:39 am
we are seeing some positive steps from the right direction. the picture is not rosie. we have a lot of work. we have a lot of things that we need to address. it is not something that's going to happen overnight. we need to build on the positive blocks that we have measured and been able to accomplish so far. you say that one of the worst aspects of these bribery allegations is that the baby was interim office. describe the claims as fake news when they clearly went fake at all. and that doesn't say much for the level of honesty or transparency that he says he's going to adhere to. does it, is his response to these allegations suggest that his government is going to be dishonest, as all the others have been? doesn't it? well, i'll be happy to connect you with his spokesman and he can address these concerns for mister. the baby is reputation is pretty check. it isn't that he prospered mightily during the dictatorship of mammography. he ended up running the living
1:40 am
investment and development, holding company, which itself was room to have been involved in corruption and money laundering. why should people trust him now, especially at this critical time? let's, let's, let's talk about looking at here because you're focusing on, on allegations. again, one particular individual who can address these allegations and sell occasions of the company. the company in particular that he does he hear that city as the libyan represented, the united nations. let's talk about what positive things that we've been able to do. let's talk about the resolution that was passed in the rights council for accountability or in the rights violations and the mass grades have been committed and libya. let's talk about the resolution that has been passed for repair creation of elicit funds that are rights rights we owned by the state of libya. let's talk about the initiative that was supported piece initiative that was support here in
1:41 am
geneva, which led to the signing of the of the piece agreements and the cease fire and libya. a lot of positive things that we need to focus on. and we need to build on these, this is a direction that we don't want to get a chance for them to have a chance to teach. let's not forget things in perspective. and this should be the benchmark. why libya for is younger country. that is, this is come out of the nation, has been, and military dictatorship rule for over 4 decades. then it had a revolutionary position periods where meddling in foreign countries and to the parents. and we capture and state capture by the armed militia groups that were against close to paul. i'm still in power. you talk about passing resolutions. passing resolution doesn't change. the fact that you have indicted war criminals promoted to powerful positions in your country and. and they're still there,
1:42 am
