my sample, when they you want to pass certain resolutions regarding china's expansion in the south china sea. we had a left wing government here that had its doubts about it and see you skip spun, especially e u. member grease broker, political taboo by signing with the chinese. grease has also been silent about aging actions in hong kong. money, francis cocky says, makes you dependent. she's particularly worried about the use divisions over china . but the realization that europe has to speak to china with one voice is slowly gaining ground. i mean, as i said, there's not yet reached a consensus on how to deal with china. what it's added to more that china is when making yes, i feel you repairs. no clear analysis. china is going to behave from western

countries to doing particular economic policies in europe no longer has the tools that china has, namely the enterprise and china is clearly using these to be the career crisis has highlighted, europe's lack of cohesion. even italians like ricardo rocky auto felt it. china exploited the division by sending aid to italy. europe eventually came up with investment programs. but small businesses like ricardo's felt this help came to let you know the need to call me. i would really like to have seen a united europe,

as everyone had predicted, a strong union with funded mental coordination was something quarterly and i'm interested in that. i would have liked to have seen those with more opportunities to help the other a true year of the nino k. what in the end, it didn't work out that way. most everyone closed their borders and said, because you wash your own dirty laundry at home, is particular about the link that really showed us that we can't talk about a single year only for the most. okay, for me to maintain a lot of deal with anyone who comes to tour, you can still experience the charm of the old hapsburg monarchy. 100 years ago, the port city was a trading house 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 wrote agreement was signed in march 2019 tree. yes. was that the center of attention northern italy was slated to become a major transshipment center for chinese export then i went to augustine, who is head of the port authority. thanks china's interest entree. yes. is the proof of its growing significance. b. c, as based in europe is growing a lot. all of these nations are very easily accessible by, by the part of the, as they saw. you know, i think it is very simple. if you look at a map, you see that if you pass fruit and you go to hungary to germany, to say you arrive foster van busing from the northern range port

the, the city is investing even more in its rail network than in the port itself. built over 100 years ago. it's direct links to eastern europe are still there. they just have to be upgraded. but it is also at pains to emphasize that although it welcomes investments from china, it has no intention of selling off the port lock stock, and barrel. what was a free years ago? 2 years ago, only a problem, a matter of transport became a geopolitical issue. now, if you said the port authority, you say ok, this part of a territory is no more my territory. and this was than in increasing. this is not what is happening here. below here is the port authority of president is italian. i am directly governed by my minister, so you know, we don't sell and we will not sell the strategic part of it for the port city on

the adria to see 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 perisi has decided on a partner to help tree s to expand not china, but a european investor. 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 raise. he remembers the cold war and is worried about any new confrontation . this consolidation of the situation ended. it was another cold war method of concern for me personally and for my business in general for me in general, it also is as a citizen of the european union,

we can see the international trade for sure. a bridge, we can see that to be helpful to keep them as a piece. 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. your federal coaches, i hope to some european leadership because if not, europe risks become in china and usa or up can be the 3rd key player in the global arena. i hope that's what europe decides to do that when you spoke of the trigger, the fall 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 worldwide 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 bay jane. when you make any cannot make agreement with a country that doesn't respect the human rights. you are dealing with human rights because it means that you don't care much, we need euro p, m, me to deep and not that single concrete, anything. so europe is already too small to add up real relationship with china all together. but one single count, we can't have a strong relationship with china. that's sure. so if you go in that interaction alone, golly, it's sure that you will lose that relationship. so i believe in is the most

important mistake. above and beyond party politics be the left wing, centrist or 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 is a very strong agenda with using any kind of energy and sign their 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 that you can have all the kind of trade, authentic operation because we, the country which, you know, they me way prevents any sort of corporation. even now, when we are talking, china is totally obscure and is the country of censorship, about the real origin, nature,

and consequences of it. the baby in 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 immediately video with, with over the last 10 years. the, our experience with the chinese has been that they always negotiate as hard as they can and demand as much freedom possible. but if you set your limits and if they come up against strong structures like a point of trade union, what they respect. so they accept our limits the ford to race will remain under chinese control until 2052, when the lease expires. although could of course be extended the e,

the bottom, i think china already has enormous influence. and i don't think it needs anymore. just like i said, as a citizen, i would like to return to return to greece again or for the trust policy. news has expired august. the 2019 agreements between italy and china has caused a lot of fun. but now there are other investors who are pushing ahead with the development of the port of tree. yes. many entrepreneurs, however, have other worries. right now, we will have to see what the call me back will be on the train because this is new, something. no one has a clue about soap or now italy is still part of the silk road. even though no chinese money has flowed into tree. yes, so far i always say what can we do to become that part of the way where sequel back

to the initiative, but it is the opposite. they accept our b of the element is some our places on the maritime see quote that they needed is an idea of development, not all the money. and the chinese arrived with funds and they ds, we have our ideas, we know what that can be. meanwhile, mechanical ratchet, the man who engineered the deal in the 1st place, believes that the fear of china is totally exaggerated and could have disastrous consequences or italy. my forecasts because of your politics misunderstanding. i think the likely scenario that i have now is that italy as slows down on the corporation with asia flows down on the corporation with the china slows down on the development of technology lows down on the development of infrastructure for some modal ways, which are all the things we need this,

that we do not to do by ourselves, sir. and so italy would fall back into the middle age. she now from the thought the program marcelina has plans pre programmed to political economic projects. over sheeting, pain is ready, thinking about 2049 and china is doing exactly what they want to be and we lot of pain now they have not can. you can make power in the world. is natural for them to want to have a voice in the world. they are clearly saying what are we to know what to influence the world? what we can do for them on the news

the me the do you like it? do you want it? okay, then luckily put the the metal, let's ride the red in 30 minutes on the w o. the thing like

a break to see to come the so ah, it is an island as department. and as germany's longest speech, some 1900 hours of sunshine a year, the charm of a bygone era on the medical baltic sea island of lucy, don't use check in 90 minutes on d. w o. tips for your bucket list, the magic corner check for me. and some great cultural memorials to boot w travel off, we go

the news . this is dw news line from berlin. wildfires rage across western canada. as crew struggle to contain the blazes forecasters worn, that lightning strikes could spark even more fires. the government is warning of a long and challenging summer head, also coming up. thousands demand, the impeachment of hard line brazilian president gyros tomorrow for watching the pandemic as a supreme court investigate claims of corruption vaccine deal. and at the european football championship favors england fresh cream for neil,

the ease into the semi finals fans back home, go wild as the golf as puts england closer to its 1st european title in more than half a century. the underdogs, denmark, following their wind over the check republic. ah, ah, i'm aaron tilton, welcome to the program. more than 170 fires are burning across western canada, fueled by a drought and a record high temperatures. many of the fires were sparked by lightning strikes, towns have been evacuated, and emergency workers are searching for missing residents. enlightened in the province of british columbia local had only a few minutes warning before their town was nearly wiped out. canadian prime minister justin trudeau has linked the fires to climate change and said it is

expected to be a hot and dry summer for the country. what's cross over now? it's a local radio reporter and anchor a cold, and davies he joins us from can lives in canada, just east of litan golden. thanks for joining us. thanks for having me. so tell us how is what is happening, enlighten affecting people in your community. it's, it's dark, it's heavy. aaron, it is a very difficult time. the damage that happened in the last week. we didn't really have a fire season. we can go over the damage that has happened in the past week has been catastrophic. and the outlook is, is dire when we talk about the conditions because we're going through something truly historic in terms of our weather conditions and the fire read. many stream that we haven't seen before. cannibals and live and other communities in this area is the heart of wildfire, country and this time of year and british columbia and canada. but what we're

seeing right now, our conditions that we have is see right now, thousands of people are weighted as we know. as you know, most of the town about 90 percent, we're all burned to the ground. if i'm starting wednesday night, then just the way and then kinda dry conditions for that to just take off. and as you know, we have and burden that there are at least 2 holidays from that. and there is concern and worry that there is more to come in kamloops within the city limits. there is also a significant fire to go. and as you mentioned, there's more than 170 across the province, 175. at this moment, speaking active wildfires in british columbia as restocking with smoke outside and heat continues. alright, scientists worry that wildfires like these could be the new normal. what are people telling you that they'd like to see from the government to prevent this from happening in the future? in immediate term, people are looking for a state of emergency. shockingly, we don't have to state of emergency right now in the past 7 days before today,

though, more than 700 people die from this extreme heat because we've been breaking the heat records when the day before that catastrophic fire broke candidates all time heat right ratings almost 50 degrees celsius and no place in canada has gotten that . so in the short term, a lot of people in this area are surprised that there is no provincial state of emergency. although we do know that there are resources coming from federal government with the military, give me an id, state, sending firefighting personnel, and i think is a long term. a lot of people want changes to legislation to try and prevent some of the activities that can potentially cause buyers. certainly it takes a long time to get for human cause buyers. but they do happen more than half of the wild bars that we get every, any given year are from human activity. so a lot of people want stricter navy tougher rules for changes to prevent some of the catastrophes we see. all right, that was cold and davies, anchor, and reporter with radio and l. 610. thank you for joining us. in japan,

a powerful mudslide has swept through a seaside town flat and nearly everything in its path. at least 2 people have died and 20 more are still missing. the military has been deployed to tommy south west of tokyo. these torrential rains triggered the disaster. the water logged ground swallowed buses. the heavy rain swept up cars and dumped them. the landslide destroyed home and business, and the big electricity pylons here was shaking all over the place and i didn't know what was happening then the mob slides were already there. and in the street below, i was really scared somewhere i made all the

devastation on dozens of local residents who couldn't get away in time. 2 of those have already been found dead. rescuers are looking for more survivors. in just a few days, the area has seen more rain than it usually does in an entire month. as rescue efforts and evacuations get underway, officials warn that more downfalls are in the forecasts. scientists say that the increased rainfall that led to this event is likely linked to climate change. let's take a look now and some other stories making news around the world. south africa, the top court has agreed to hear former president jacob zoom as appeal to 15 months . jail sentence for failing to attend to corruption. hearing judges have delayed the start of the sentence. hundreds of people gathered outside soon was home in support. hundreds of house indians have demonstrated in the west bank city of ramallah. they're demanding as in the hoard of bonds resign. the protests were

virus vaccines. their accusations that president both sonora turned a blind eye. with the parliamentary inquiry, we have the information that besides being incompetent and genocidal, he was also corrupt. he knew about corruption and did nothing. there are more than half a 1000000 people dead. what everyone knew is now confirmed, there is corruption. so keeping a government like that is crazy. oh, both scenarios is now being investigated by the supreme court. he denies any wrongdoing. the allegations have forced the government to counsel vaccine contracts just when doses a desperately needed. these protesters are angry, but both scenarios supporters point out that he survived coming down with cove at

19 and will more than likely write out this later storm. the former president of the european council, donald tusk, is hoping to make a political come back in his homeland of poland. twas is taking over as leader of the main opposition party, but he founded the liberal civic platform. he wants to challenge the ruling white wing law, injustice party in elections in 2 years time. the government has clashed with puzzles over law reforms l g, b, t, and women's rights as well. earlier we spoke with the w correspondent, magdalena, quote, paula caught in war, so we asked her what to say plan come back is likely to meet for polish politics. could be dangerous for the really 5 years of good. she and we know that he has the vision to win been next election were which will take place in 2 years in poland and his for now. yeah. and it's clear he will find the, could you give him a me,

mark meadows from v w. sports has been following all the quarter final action for us. so mark, let's start with england when over ukraine, was it as one sided as it sounds? yes it was. it was very, very dominant, right from the off harry came say didn't there? we can actually look at some of the action now from the game. and yet it's pretty easy. as i say, can you kind of, you know, slow start to the tournament and now it's called to got 3 goals in total in the last 2 games. so that was a very good stuff. ring them and they just kept going. and ukraine has actually no hope. what's the weather? i mean, it should have been more goals before time. but then i remember glasgow just after the break. great costs. luc. sure. he'd been criticized a lot along the tournament. great against germany. very good against you can again and then sure again set up hurricane the 3 know and it was walking about and then jordan henderson made it for the 1st gulf ring and so everyone was happy just worked out perfectly. alright. and now the semi finals in the finals are going to be at wimbledon when will be in london, and england has not considered to go get in

a tournament. so could we say that football is coming up? well, as an englishman, i know that it's a bit early to be saying things that, that given we have a major titles in $966.00 and yes, it is 3 semi finals in a row now for this english side, but they have gone out in the last 2, so we finals and nations league and the will cope. so it's a bit early to say, but yes, the same is that women, they're going to have 60000 friends, wembley, which a lot of people think he's very high. give them that. corona virus cases rising again in england. so yeah, it's, you'd have to say their favorite is looking at that going forward. all right, and looking forward, england face denmark on wednesday in the dean's themselves, are kind of enjoying a fairy tale tournament. after what was almost a tragic start to the contest? yes indeed. i mean obviously we had christine ericsson collapsing on the pitch in the 1st game. happily he recovered the dangerous sort of take him back on. there's really spurred them. they've been fantastic. the last 2 games we can look at some of the reactions to the, to the early go from thomas delaney against the republic they to one in the end,

but the funds i have. so i don't seem to nail it with gas. the dull, the, the check the one back, but they were all sort of been in control in the game that was so slight, unsavory moment where an l. b, g, t, q. banner rainbow banner was kind of confiscated by the backend security staff and the danes. very upset about that. no. of a see, it's not a good look for you way for after everything that happened community where they weren't allowed to eliminate the stadium in rainbow colors, but the danes won't really be worrying about that. they'll be concentrating on the semi final again thing and, and i can say it will be a bit wary of facing denmark, given the kind of story this fairy tale that's built up around them. all right, mark meadows from the w. sports. thanks for keeping us up. to date where he leaks founder, join us on, has spent his 50th birthday behind bars borders, including his partner and put on the picnic in london. so i'm just being held in prison in the u. k. y. wait next,
