6:03 am
do you know that everyone is sick of proven challenge, which is a good guide? i'm grateful to him. it's not us with we didn't come to the borders of the u. s. the u. k. u came to us. oh good. i'm good up with him for a long time now that he's just made enemies of all countries. also on the day, it's beginning to look a lot like another cove it christmas. germany has seen its 1st only con, related fatality and with strict rules just days away. the highly infectious corona virus at variance. it really is dampening holiday spirits good on the anger. good loss. invite rick, the children and grandchildren a far away. of course it's a bit sad. that's why we came to the market to so cut the atmosphere. well enough, not say last 2 of us at christmas before the family is quite large, but all far away. and so we make our south comfortable at home in the list.
6:04 am
russian president vladimir putin. hughes, potter, his annual press conference to repeat his demand that the west rules out allowing ukraine to join its military alliance and undertakes not to deploy weapons. there is, of course, is against a backdrop of wigs of international concern over russia's true build upon its border with you crate. the, for our event addressed a broad range of issues, but on ukraine, mister putin accuses the west of duplicity and stoking tensions. yet no one knew him were not one inch to these. that is what we were told in the 1990s. and what happened to make sure we were duped? not the we were brazenly jew wrought the mag ala mun, william, there were 5 waves of nato expansion. or should in another. and now these miss, our systems are appearing in poland and romania. but we will either that's what
6:05 am
we're talking about. what the human reason you have to understand who it's not us. we're threat name which deliberately today we didn't come to the borders of the u. s. or the u. k. lead daniel, you came to us or to help us understand this out better. that's bring in that cadre leak who's a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations. welcome to the w. does president protein really believe the west is threatening russia? i think he understands that there are no evil intentions this, i mean russia, but i think his theories, but russia is hold the way ukraine is a robot think. and while ukraine might not become nato member, a western military help will actually still be available to ukraine. and that is, of course, something that defense planners in russia would pay attention, so hence the escalation and, and hence he has made but the nice to,
6:06 am
and now when president biden has also put in to discuss 3 things, he has dramatically widened the agenda to include everything his bitter about including mater, lodgement and all the things he mentioned today. okay, so the, the troops on the board with ukraine are essentially a bargaining chip if he doesn't. so does that mean that you really don't expect him to invade ukraine? i to not but many other experts to so actually we are all guessing and none of us knows what will happen. military experts will tell you about the build up the serious it is much more profound than what we saw in. ready the spring get solar so done much more covered play by myself. i think it's politically with been math. nice also in terms of domestic politics, but the trophies, but none of us really knows we own guessing. well, let's talk about domestic politics because it is ukraine apprised that russians
6:07 am
would allow their sons and husbands to shed blood for no, i don't think so. it of over the, a crane with definitely not be a popular thing for the russian society. and i think the kremlin ought to know, but they are conducting their own opinion balls and they keep a keen eye on public opinion. and all the crank cannot. those have been made popular. i mean crimea was popular, but that was a blog less quick. swift take away off a piece of land that has immense emotional value for many in russia, the rest of phil crane has none of these qualities. and that is one that one aspect that makes me think that attack is not so likely. ok, that's, that's the ukraine assignment and look at some, some other subjects like what came up in this for hours. china, of course, was another topic that came up today. let's listen to part of what president putin said about relations with beijing. dumas legion at nursery. nicholas president,
6:08 am
she and i have a very high level of mutual trust today, which is contributed to the development of practical relations between our 2 countries. in the economic field, asia is growing very rapidly to me, and china is the country with the most vigorous economic growth on them in asia. you pan the world? i just gave them a country leak. would it be overstating things to describe russia and china as allies at the moment? it took bays slightly. yes. because they are on the same page on, on many issues. they understand each other quite well, but they don't want them to formalize relationships, and they don't want to any kind of alliance commitments. they can, they have an alliance in 19 fifties and, but did not then very well. both sides ended options appointed and paid away for
6:09 am
china turn west. so right now we're is understanding to have a flexible relationship. china is not obliged to support russia in russia's adventures in ukraine. and likewise rush, i probably would not like decide load, try not on the sea of time on, but i say it's on many other things, varies, varies understanding and quite likely also with personal relationship doesn't hurt . right. so we can see was what russia has to gain from the coming super power by chumming up with them. what does china again, from, from siding with russia? well, i think in its standoff where they and i did states a russia is convenient, their life for china. and that is actually something that one could see. but
6:10 am
china became much more important. sorry, russia became much more important force china when the stand off of the united states started when donald trump made it clear of china is a big issue for him. then many more chinese officials started coming to russian conferences, et cetera. so the change was, was visible, the country they can use in our standoff. understood. so we've discussed 2 of the topics that came up in today's for our press conference. clearly covered a lot of ground. did it. however, shift the needle in either direction in terms of russia relationship with the west, or was today more about mister putin restating his position. well, today actually many many questions were about copied and economic issues, pensions, economic recovery, lation. so i think that also answers your question on about whether the
6:11 am
war with the popular it's, it's not russian, people are worried about other things. and i think, you know, if we try to look at the de leaves, the president put then also said his hope pull up all the negotiations with united states. they are hoping to have a 1st round in january. so my $0.02 would be that will be no invasion of any kind. at least risha. next year we will see we value your 2 sense. thank you for sharing them with us a country leak from the european council on foreign relations. ah, the u. s. micro chip maker in town has been caught up in a row with china. it's apologized to beijing after it called on suppliers to avoid goods and services from the jin chang region. and that angered the government in many countries, including the united states, accused china of
6:12 am
a brutal crack down on the meat on the muslim we got minority we live in ginger in town now says that statement was made in order to comply with us sanctions against china. of the issue and was not a letter of intent or position. the chinese government has rebuked the manufacturer . woman, truly though you, when we want to make a statement, you are your once a year. we hope the relevant company can respect facts and tell right from wrong will murder that we have repeatedly stressed that the so called forced labor and other allegations about shinji, an a complete lies concocted by anti china forces in the united states. to discredit china's image disrupt shinji, i'm book and contain chinese development. so don't go farther. well that's intel and you told i'm chelsea delaney from d w. business can tell us more about what to go and welcome chelsea at what made
6:13 am
intel issues such a grumbling apology. well, it is very strong language and i actually just read out part of those just to give you a sense of how strong this apology is. they say we express our sincere apologies for causing trouble to our esteemed chinese customers, partners and the general public. so they are really apologizing here. and i think that this comes down to money. this is a huge market for intolerant accounts for about 26 percent of their revenue. so those customers are crucial to intel. and we're seeing a huge backlash right now. it's not just on social meet social media, one of china's biggest boy sanders, kerry wang. so he's canceling his brand new master deal with intel now. so there's a lot of money on the line for them. ok, and so it would, it sounds like intel would rather turn a blind eye to accusations of, of genocide in june. jack, for the sake of that this, this massive market. yeah, i think i think they don't really want to acknowledge that because there is so much
6:14 am
at stake for them. and it's really not just intel, we're seeing a lot of western companies, really, any company that has a major stake and china face the same issues. we've seen this earlier this year with a de does with nike with h and m, where they've made comments about potential, 4th labor engine jong and been absolutely blasted on social media h t m last about 40 percent of their market share in china after that. so this is a really big stakes for these companies. and for a lot of them, they just aren't willing to, willing to take that risk. so they just don't want to talk about it because this is really their biggest and most important and potentially fastest growing market in the years ahead. so, so intel said it made its original statement because of us sanctions. so now that it's turned around and, and made nice, china, where does it stand in terms of the u. s. government? well, i think reading between the lines here and tell us saying we're sorry, but we do have to follow this
6:15 am
u. s. law which was signed today by joe biden. so they do have to remove potential force labor from their supply chains until has already said that they've done that. they had an investigation into this and they said they don't have products from jang that were made by force labor. but of course, there's a lot of questions over how accurate these supply chain investigations are. it's very difficult to trace these very complex, very winding supply chains, right? so that, that they've effectively agreed with both china on the united states. we've, we've done what the u. s. wanted, we've taken the junk products out and we've apologize to you. so please, everybody love me. right? i'm definitely trying to, to walk the middle road here and, and, and keep everybody happy. this points up to a why the question is that the affects us all now are gadgets i, i, phones, i games console. i laptop, laptops that are on board computers i want to cause they all depends on china. they're either built in china or they depend on the red earth that but china is,
6:16 am
is, is a commanding the, the marketed. so that leaves us whole vulnerable. it does, and we've seemeth, especially throughout the pandemic where global supply chains have been really caught in the cross hairs of lock downs of, of different and bottleneck issues. and we've seen just how interconnected these markets are. and we've also seen that through trade wars where the suddenly you can't get products from china, you can't get them from the u. s. so we definitely are really at the mercy of, of different economies. here. i would say rare metals are, are definitely a big concern because china does have the vast majority of the market there. the u . s. has been trying to build up that market, but it's really difficult. it takes 2 decades really to do that. but it goes the other way as well. the other way for china, because we've seen this with intell, actually they say they to boycott and tell. but actually they don't have a lot of other options, especially because we're in the midst of a global semiconductor shortage. they really have no other place to go for those
6:17 am
chips that they need to make their consumer electronics. so when we have all this talk about the coupling and really that's, that's kind of like mutually assured destruction because we are still so reliant on each other. ok, thank you that chelsea chelsea delaney from d. w. business india, where the coven 19 pandemic may be hiding. another silent pandemic suicide. recently released figures show a 10 percent increase in the number of people taking their own lives last year. experts believe the economy and personal stress brought on by the pandemic of affected all sections of society. debbie d. w. mad with some of those who are trying to help. 025 years ago. a gym, a low truck or founded a center for a problem rarely addressed in indian society. a crisis intervention center to make 3 operates a health line for the depressed and suicidal. over the years,
6:18 am
the center has helped countless people by providing them emotional support. at a time when they felt they had no option left, but to dig their lives to deep, my little tries taking calls in the center alone. do people talk to us and we listen to them in a non governmental meeting, redondo, i would agree or disagree. the we're going to england life re, she of their feelings. we don't share the of situation, but we share their feelings. not as, as the core 19 pandemic has had a huge impact on people's mental health. and that the number of distress caused they receive has almost doubled since the beginning of the crisis. in his experience, emotional and financial troubles are the 2 biggest reasons behind suicidal thoughts of the corners. according to the n, c i b, or the national crime records bureau data, there has been a sharp rise in the number of debts by suicide in the country in the year 2020. while daily wage laborers meet up, the largest share of the total number of few site, they've been a significant jump in the debt by suicide among the business people as well. last
6:19 am
years, love down to cub the spread of forward lead to any konami and humanitarian prices. small business men and vendors had to shop shop and many workers lost their employment. triggering a massive saunders of migrant laborers back to their towns and villages. economists, st. austin hirata says the suicide has increased mostly among those who are the poorest, who lost their jobs and savings during the pandemic. it is entirely due to economic distress, which has caused mental stress, family dentures. and my suspicion is that you are going to see a repeat of this data in in 2021. my daughter says unemployment has only increased, which will lead to a worsening of poverty. with no end to the pandemic incite my daughter, i also believe that it will take time for the situation to improve. people have gone through a lot of things like that. loss of job loss. so for this and i don't believe cycle,
6:20 am
they're gonna prove it is going to be impacted on the end of my info in a slightly longer day. because we're not coming in daily out of it. but no matter how emotionally drained the feel, my hotel believes everybody deep down has the desire to live and feel. that's why they reach out to the crisis center. and he and his fellow warranty years are here to help you want to pick some going. my good order, if you feel like you're suffering from serious emotional strain or from suicidal thoughts, don't hesitate to seek professional help. no matter where you live, you can find information at befriend us world wide. at the web address, you see on your screen a germany has reported its 1st omicron related death. the new crone of virus variance is spreading rapidly across the country and our thought is expected to become the dominant strain in a few weeks. as millions of germans prepared to celebrate another cove at christmas

that also facing strict rules on social gathering, which come into effect. i. d. w, has been out assessing the mood of travelers and revelers that be famous krist christmas markets. the bags are packed. there are presents to wrap and trains to catch at berlin's main station. the christmas get a we is on. and travelers are reckoning with looming restrictions and household headaches. performing cove, i'm looking forward to celebrating with the kids. one of our christmas tree base can only hold christmas trees up to 2 meters, but our christmas tree is 3 meters high. so now i have to figure that out. took margaret, not losing, is cloud i think you're alluding to whether the corona situation is a burden. and of course this is the depressing situation. but there are plenty of other world events that don't make you feel happy or the i'm hatnus furnished unless the highly contagious omicron variant has cast
6:22 am
a shadow over this year's celebrations. and made the journey home on busy trains. fraught with risk at the lexia christmas market, nearby corona continues to loom large, but it appears to be no match for glue vine and festive spirit. and let people like it when i show this one field. freedom like foods. emma, how hard to contend with the threat of consolation as markets were shut down elsewhere in germany death. that one is very popular. there's also another version of the one and he than this is in for that. we are glad that we were allowed to be open, that we were allowed to sell. i can't complain. everything is great spot for this gen mika. the market caps off a rocky year. problems and global supply chains forced him to rethink his business
6:23 am
. oh, yeah, we had to change a lot. were we now we manufacture in germany completely. um and we do some, a craft men's work on our own. so we, we manufacture goods on our own completely now to make sure that we can deliver our goods all over the market. stories of people making the best of the situation. because on the anger can laws in vibrick, the children and grandchildren a far away. of course, it's a bit sad, that's why we came to the market to so cut the atmosphere enough, not as 2 of us at christmas before. the family is quite large, but all far away. and so we make ourselves comfortable at home in the blish. as germany and the world hedge into another year of uncertainty. one thing seems: indisputable. no one knows when the coven 19 journey will end. as get
6:24 am
warranty doubly political correspondence, simon, a young welcome, simon. and 1st of all, what, what more can you tell us about germany's 1st on the chrome fatality? well, we don't know whether it was a male or female patient, but we do know the age between 60 and 79 years of age. so that puts them squarely in the, at risk group based on, based on being a bit older. and it's books we're saying we don't know for sure that they died from covey 19. but what we can say is that doctors believe they strongly suspect the patient had the micron barrier when they died. and you know, this is, this is worrying trend it's, we're saying that not every test that's done in germany at the moment is a sequence. so we don't necessarily know which variant is involved, but if there's a clear trend of rising wave of a micron cases,
6:25 am
that's what the authorities have been saying that they're worried about. that in spite of the fact that we're also hearing positive news about a micron, possibly not being as dangerous as the delta variant before, it is, of course highly infectious. and a big problem for that reason alone. right now, germany's looking at more restrictive measures from the 28th is a lockdown. likely well, the measures that have been agreed by the central government and the state governments don't exactly amount to a lockdown. i mean, businesses and indeed restaurants will be able to continue, at least that's the plan. but a lot of private gatherings will be much reduced. no more than 10 people in most private gatherings and even tied to restrictions for the vaccinated. what was also
6:26 am
agreed was that to big outdoor events would have to go ahead if at all with no spectators. but interestingly, today, berlin has said, well, it's got a slightly different plan there. it thinks that to outdoor big events like sports events over the holidays could have up to $3000.00 spectators. and they say they weighed up those, you know, the health race to the one end, but the, the business culture sport cost. the downside on the other side as well, and they say that, you know, it's better to have a few people there than that. then in that effect completely cancel these big, important events. so you can see already, some of the, some of the german states going slightly different way. we've seen that before in this pandemic. right. and how close these germany to mandatory co vaccinations? well, that's a discussion that said going to continue and certainly
6:27 am
a lot of senior politicians have said they are in favor of that idea. they think in the end that's the only way to stop it. but there are significant opposition, as well as going to be a vote in the, in the buddhist talk next year on this. i'm pretty sure some politician saying, you know, you can't force people to take vaccines into their body. but on the other side, people say, well, actually, when there's a pandemic and there's a huge threat to the health care system and massive disruption potentially, to national life as a whole, while then possibly you can impose that. and the legal people seem to say, would be in line with the constitution. so we'll have to wait and see how that discussion plays out. i simon d. w political correspondent, simon young. and i said for another day and another yes, the day will back in 2022 with the conversation. you can always continue on live. you'll find us on twitter. i've asked d w. news. you can follow me up. phil guy,

6:32 am
calling for government ban on the pesticides. the drop legislation is still under consideration by their efforts already bone fruit elsewhere prompting some produces and fertilizer industry to help a rethink and come up with more sustainable alternatives. ah, the produce has to be harvested quickly. customers in europe won't green groceries in winter to weather beans, chillies, herbs are fruit. most of what is going on. he miller farm here in nairobi is destined for export for a long time. why? cliff or cooling operated a conventional farm use in chemical pesticides? he's making fundamental changes, bit by bit and convert into organic methods. we will discover degree,
6:33 am
we can now run on it and not you, or were doing that, that is not down full to our customers. so that to a we, we are trying to get into organic farming. so he already started with the some field crops at the farm. we want to see our fight. they're going to take that sofa read doing read, read the war to react to the from his greatest concern is seen harvest destroyed by france, disease or parasites. so he's drawing on the expertise of robin seen iranian g, whose firm rule organics develops organic fertilizers and pesticides. the men are currently trying now to paradox, intended to combat pests that infest mays. so i will from, has embraced organic products like this top down and stop. dell is a follow up with the lasers. not even a pe said butter. he just ability to suffolk, it's best to def, like you can some holding some ma mrs. here which was insisted by the fall,

6:35 am
government is skeptical whether organic farming is possible in kenya, on a large scale part of the yielded up. it requires a good army proxy. this, of course, that improve soil health, but also protects human health. and so we have to ride into to find that balance. and sometimes things, lake erie organic man before the lasers are getting for the laser may be good for us. mom brought one erica to her guys. probably beyond that. you can talk about or getting for the last not feasible you, you can produce enough of it to be able to donna, a city as funding and of raising the country. i've never seen it being done anywhere, but this fights all the challenge is agricultural practices in kenya are already being transformed more and more farms, especially smaller ones ago in organic, helps with training from experienced experts that was trained by over on it for

. and forest have a rather high carbon density, so not of carbon per square meter. peak lands also bind c o 2, up to 44 percent of the carbon sequestered in soil worldwide is stored there. but in germany alone, more than 90 percent of the country's p lands have been drained for agriculture. but if moisture is removed from a bog, the peat bog dries out and carbon dioxide escapes into the environment. in the long term experts are considering re wedding germany's pete lands su to accumulation of p glance, is something that occurs at the time scale of centuries. which is obviously not quick enough for the solutions we need here. tina rills, regenerative agriculture with his sheep and catch crops works faster. good soils smells a little like carrots. he says proudly. the growing human layer ensures
