for teachers that are coming up now, and we will work together with the countries on the unit global level together with the united nation, sir. and this is what we are trying to convince. all other countries that have to means to do so to do together with us. well, i saw tons of germany on his 1st trip to africa. thank you very much. thank you. and d, w mckayla, kiffany, they are you watching d. w news up next to germany takes a mother solving cries of oil. this is more with chris kolber in business with nico is in germany to learn german pollution pinnacle. why not learn with him online, on your mobile and free chest, t w's, e learning course. nikos big ah

ah ah, ah, 4 weeks the u has been grappling over an embargo of russian oil. now germany says a breakthrough is within reach. while also proposing an oil price cap. also coming up will show you how farmers outside the ukrainian capital,

all trying to do their bid in feeding the world despite the war in their country. and we'll show you why the legendary lithium riches from bolivia, assault labs, may still just be a mirage. i'm for scope of, of the program the european union and united states want oil and gas producing countries to increase production to help lower fuel prices. that is, according to german chancellor, all off schultz, in an exclusive interview with d. w. meanwhile, the world economic forum, davos german vice chancellor, about how they said an embargo on russian oil imports is likely to come within days . he warns, however, that it may not be enough while russia has been selling less on following its invasion of ukraine. it has been raking in more money because of higher prices. so durham is economy minister is calling for a global cap on oil prices to prevent moscow from benefits from rising prices.

starting also sees the current energy prices as just one of several major problems in need of big picture solutions. i think we have at least 4 problems are crisis right now that are all intervals and we have high inflation in some of the countries in europe, in the us. and a lot of our countries we have in energy crisis, you must call it this way. we have food, poetry, and we have for climate crisis, and we can't solve the problems if you're only concentrating on only one of the crisis. but if none of the problems are solved, i'm really afraid that we are running into a global recession with a tremendous effect. not only about or on climate protection or climate action, but off the global stability at old. germany's vice chancellor and economy minister, but havoc speaking there in doubles now contributing to the food crisis is russia's

decision to block tons of ukrainian wheat from leaving the countries ports. meanwhile, ukrainian farmers who want to prepare their fields for the next harvest are encountering deadly traps. the w is funny for char reports from outside of key. if that's all that's left of flats, tractor was that would qualify for the wheel used to be here though it was torn apart the ball and get blown away. we will prosper with kindle. he was working a field in the key fridge and when he drove over a land mine, he sas what, what, what i heard a bang and everything darkened in front of me, total black waters. and when i woke up underneath the steering wheel, i woke up feeling the sitting like that. the cool a lot of equipment has already been damaged by russian forces. the loss of this tractor comes at a difficult time, blood employer sense. every loss is significant, right? i had a vehicle and now it's going or the nathan,

i don't know if they'll manage to repair it or not because because we don't have much equipment like loud and ordering a new one from canada on it's impossible. now, despite the risks of encountering an explosive left behind, the russian forces now is the time to plant new seats. however, already an estimated 25000000 tons of grain from the last harvest is stuck in ukraine. this place and keep stores 65000 tons of corn, soy and sunflower seat. and all these trucks just arrived to the plant from franklin regions like mich alive there. hope explored to crop from here. because domain roots are now blocked, but now only a fraction of this will be exported. the alternative routes via rail the road, but the longer this war continues, the bigger to risk over global food crisis. the doctor wants to save the crops much

needed elsewhere in the world, but his capacity is limited. those but it's a. so sunflower seeds are stored here in the silo. they're almost fooling around 95 percent. so he says only 10 percent of what's in the silo. now we'll make it out of the country. as a result, the overall situation will lightly worse in this fall could additional one of them . it will become critical during the next harvard resume. everyone understands that the storage capacity will not be enough. and that's it. well will call me if so collab collaborating collapse with start in september and october. but we will not have any space as to why not. there was right, a grim outlook. but despite that, farmers like blot, say, they have no choice other than seating the fields, hoping that the war will and soon, and ukraine can continue to feed the world. the president of the commission doesn't off on the line, says russia's weapon, isaac food supplies,

with global repercussions for more. let's cross over to d w's bench rosalyn who is at the world economic forum in davos. ben, tell us how is the issue of food security shaping the discussion at the world economic form by your what's the topic of food security and not the harrowing images of death and destruction in ukraine, which a really convincing a lot more people, investors, and heads of state here that something has to be done to stop brushes, aggression in ukraine because it's causing a looming food crisis. was so many parts of the world, especially africa, and asia, with food prices increasing with the energy prices increasing as well. it's a regular people back home in the where stand elsewhere in the world that are also going to be feeling the pinch and also worried about what's going on. so there are

consequences and ripple effects all round the world right now, christoph, throughout all economies. it's very interesting to see how quickly things can change, how quickly germany can change its opinion as far as what it stands for when it comes to ukraine. i mean, we saw that at the beginning of the crisis when it was a weapons deliveries and then suddenly it became heavy weaponry that was being delivered. and now we're talking, as you mentioned, about an oil embargo, we could see that within days we're still seeing resistance from countries like hungry and portugal who are very reliance on our oil from a russia. but so is germany. and this turnaround is spectacular. as far as germany goes, so yeah, when it comes to simple things like rising food prices and energy prices, we suddenly do see change and bend. and speaking of this oil embargo, and we know that the head of the european commission year commissioner was left on

the line, has been addressing attendees there in davos to day. how has she been speaking about energy and the reliance of the e u on russian energy delivers? she said that europe needs to win itself off fossil fuels. she said, this is the time we need to shift to renewables. and it's a message we've been hearing from lots of leaders. and it's a message we're hearing here in davos as well from renewable energy lead, as i've been speaking to vest as wanted, the or the biggest wind energy turbine maker in the world said it had huge investments in russia. it's pulled out, it's still paying its employees there. it has $700.00 of them to big factories. um, it's also got big projects in ukraine has had to watch by watch on as it's wind

turbines have been set alive than some destroyed. but it still does have a huge capacity there. and it, we could see ukraine becoming this new green partner, a new energy partner for europe, as opposed to russia. and ben, just quickly, i want to change, i want to talk about the, the shift of the debate in davos there because we heard the secretary general of nato speaking the day mister salton back was said, we must not sacrifice security for short term profit. now obviously this is a meeting of business leaders, and that is a, a very different tone. we're hearing that. yeah it was a direct message to invest is here that the protection of the values are more important than profits that we have to think about the economic choices that we make because they have consequences for our security and my seeing that now with raja we were seeing that now with china as well,

and that was the most important part of his speech, where he said this is not just about russia, but also china. of course, he's alluding to ty, one there, who knows what could happen as far as ty, one security goes, but if roches allowed to take back crimea, i take parts of ukraine, then what's going to stop china from taking tie one? man joslyn, they're reporting from the world economic forum and doubles ban. thank you. and that to some of the other global business stories, making news. reason bottlenecks and the supply chain have effected a number of industries including one responsible for delivering consumer goods, trucks. experts say that the entire production of 2022 is already sold out with demand spill. hi, that's even as manufacturing st shortages and content with an otherwise weekend to come home sharing firm air

b and b as quitting the chinese market. according to several media reports, the company is reportedly planning to move all listings by to remove all listings by the summer. air b and b has had difficulty cracking the market because chinese tours and trends and china 0 corporate policy hasn't helped either. several cities were locked down to contain its most recent viruses. as discussions around energy production shift swiftly to renewables, bolivia is hoping to become a competitive contender. in the lithium market, the country is home to one of the largest on tap deposits of the light metal used in electric batteries, which aspires to capitalize on very so thought last as far as the i can see what residents can't see is a future here. that's unless the government build the lithium mine and creates jobs

for people in the area as adam will put in that fella, we are angry because they could give jobs to the people, not only in this community we have, but in other communities that have been forgotten can with in trouble, hopefully we're always asking for development not to put those. we have minerals, we have lithium and people here should get something live in that is this have either a hand to the underneath the salt flats and the petoskey region lies the world's largest known deposit of lithium. they have the potential to be a modern day gold mine for bolivia, and for the impoverished residents of u lapka. yet there are several hurdles. the indian country port 700000000 u. s. dollars into extraction technology that is now considered outdated. foreign firms have offered to invest, but current bolivia law prohibits this. legislation will need to be amended 1st. and critics of bolivian president lewis are se, se a socialist government has left local communities out of any planning

a floating to move through. and actually, we don't even have a channel to express our opinions, renew the core. we find out how the companies are deciding how to directly extract lithium formulas. here through seeing the news for any fuel level that overlapping . bolivia has given itself a deadline to make lithium batteries by 2025. a goal that seems impossible to reach . and that's i shall. i'm chris kolber on roland, thanks for watching. every self i successful day. ah! a joy ride from fascinating worlds. into uncharted depths, our guides know their way around with a strictly scientific trip to some pretty wacky places,

with curiosity is required to borrow today. next on d, w. ah, what people have to say matters to us. m. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. we need to talk about climate change. does that make you want to switch off? why and how can we change it? how exactly is global warming affecting agriculture around the world? the results of one study renaming. but 1st we asked how can cattle farming.
