asked in a free cake with 71 minutes gone, a replay shows its deflecting of a defender's head, but alone responded just 11 minutes later, when young tillman volleyed in on the long range to secure a point for the bill of goats, and keep them unbidden. is season and that's it from me and the news team coming up next on d w business. chris go about. well, take a closer look at all of shots flipped with canada as tougher for break stage with thanks for watching. with cash up to date. don't miss our highlights. the d w program on line d, w dot com highlights devastated houses after our weekend, wilma cars kinda funny defects of climate change. i mean,

felt worldwide before a station in the rain forest continued. carbon dioxide emissions have risen again. young people all over the world are committed to climate protection. what impact will because change doesn't happen on its own. make up your room minded. d. w. made for mines. ah ah. on a quest for energy, germany, chancellor advice to angel of both travel to canada in the latest attempt to secure alternatives to russian gas. we'll get more from our correspondent on the chances of that. also coming up is the current drought in europe. just

a preview of much more difficult times to come. we'll have expert analysis. i'm chris koval. welcome to the program. could canada help replace russian raw materials and even some of its energy deliveries to germany? that's what berlin is, helping us chance, lola charles, or in ottawa, on sunday, with a delegation of german business leaders and tow canada is a fellow member of the g 7 economies and most large deposits of lithium, cobalt and nickels. it's also a growing producer of hydrogen. mister schultz is expected to sign a memorandum during his visit on establishing hydrogen supply chains with canada. right as good morning, sir, from melinda crane. d. w. 's, chief, political correspondent, belinda. how important is this trip to the chancellor and the vice chancellor who is going with him? it's very important indeed. and in fact it's quite unusual for the vice chancellor

to be accompanying the chancellor. but that shows the significance of what amounts to resource and energy diplomacy that the 2 are engaged in by the way. they're also staying longer than many such official visits. so the energy and economy minister robert hubig has been working tirelessly on a mission to try to reduce germany's dependence on russian natural gas. and as you know, this very hungry, this very industrial economy is extremely energy intensive. and therefore, that gas source or sources of gas are crucial. also for germany's export economy. germany is planning to construct floating liquefied natural gas terminals on its northern coast to receive gas supplies. but where shall those supplies come from?

previous energy diplomacy initiatives, visa, the norway and katara had proven less fruitful than the german government had hoped, which is why hopes are now resting on canada. and the chancellor pointed out, after arriving there, that can, it is, is as rich in resources in many ways as russia, but that it is a dependable and reliable democracy. so not only liquefied natural gas is of interest, but as you mentioned, a hydrogen, and then also those minerals that you listed because they are crucial inputs for batteries. and as you know, the german automobile industry is banking on electric vehicles for the future. melinda, us talk about a liquefied natural gas or ellen gee, here for a 2nd. the canadian side seems pretty reserved when it comes to delivering this liquefied natural gas. why is it? because most of the ellen g are most of the gas projects are on the west coast of

canada. and by the way, a number of them involve fracking, which has been questioned in canada, as well as internationally to get that gas from the west coast to the east coast of canada, where it could then go out to a country, an importer, like germany, would require a major pipeline and there is some debate in canada about whether the costs of constructing such a pipeline are justified. given that this would essentially be a transitional project because canada is very determined to move away from fossil fuels toward net 0. therefore, questions about whether the investment costs can be recouped and that's why candidate self has been stressing that it's interested in doing some hydrogen diplomacy, but not necessarily ellen g. then the grand w's chief, political correspondent, belinda, thank and now to some of the other global business stories making news. germany's

exports to non e u countries fell 7.6 percent in july, as, according to new government figures published earlier today, the drop ended a 3 month streak of higher export profits driven by higher prices. thanks to inflation and worldwide energy costs. germany is likely get through the winter without taking drastic measures to secure new gas lives. that's according germany's economy. mister hobbin over the government is preparing for moscow to further limit gas deliveries over the weekend. russia announced it would be temporarily suspending deliveries to one pipeline, sending gas prices in germany. yet higher china has extended power rationing in the nations south west through sir thursday as an intense heat wave continues. thousands of factories in the province of citron, stop production, last week after drought limited, the problems is hydro electric generators. heat wave has also curb traffic on the young say, river. it is not just china that is facing record temperatures. much of europe has

suffered through repeated he waves in recent weeks and that's hit economy's hard weather through. reduce river traffic, dried up farm fields or destructive wildfires. it is a taste of what warming temperatures could bring the continent in the years ahead. southern europe, in particular, is vulnerable to climate change. this map from the world wildlife fund shows the water scarcity risk across europe over the next 30 years. not according to the w, w, f. the number of europeans living in regions of water scarcity will gradually, in crease, as you can see in spain, italy, and elsewhere across the mediterranean. that's a problem. according to the w, w, f, the number of people living in water scarce regions in europe will increase by 50 percent. by the year 2050 a for morning, less bringing johan us,

mr. senior project manager for water stewardship at the world wildlife fund. good to have you on the program. yon us now looking at the driving, looking at the drought there we're seeing in europe currently. i'm sure they have been warnings. you know that times would be difficult at the same time. is this happening too early? i don't think it's happening too early. i mean the signs were clear for long time. i mean if you look, for example, at the well to comic form, they're putting white water crisis up high on their risk ranking every year for a decade now. i mean, we have legislation in place like the water framework directive in europe, which is, which is great. but what we really need to see now is investments and implementation of this message in to take the science seriously. agriculture is one of the sectors that has had to deal with the law rainfall figures and law water levels in general . do you see some sort of adaptation there,

or are farmers planning the same seeds that they did 15 years ago? yeah, i think the patients really, really in the key issue here, and we will see a lot of like highly reduced yields this year and some of the crops, especially corn for example. but it's not only a measure off like which crops to grow, which very variety is to grow. but really like, where do we grow, watch and how do we, how do we eat? like, how do we know to the population. right. and the question here in germany can also be like, can i, can i eat more regional, the seasonal be and also with less, less meat and dairy. and this also requires political action, right. and promote, for example, more locally grown knots of fruits and vegetables right? now, better salting, like 4 percent of are only growing 4 percent of all matters domestically. the rest of the supported to germany, not every culture. a minister is a member of the green party, has been in power for 9 months. now. do you see any political change or any change

in the political will there? i mean there are definitely definitely changes in the, in the tone since the minnesota changed. but what we really need in terms of when we look at water is really investments right now. we need to safe our rivers or lakes or meadows, or pet pete lens because this is the source of our water. right. so we neat nature based solutions beneath and investments and increasing the water retention in the in the landscapes. and we managed that, it will pay off twice about give us more water supply, maintaining a water supply, and will also protect us from flood events that we saw recently in germany as well . the honest me, sir, of the world wildlife fund, yon a thank you. thanks having me. so the threat of drought could grow along with his impact. that is bad news for german farmers. there are, i am

a poor harvest here in the country than usual. high temperatures and lorraine levels are only part of the problem the wheat harvest and the 2000 hector farm near leipzig and eastern germany. it some of the most fertile land in the whole country . it's mon or rich and perfect for plants due to its high water content. despite recent and continuing droughts, he checked her here produces 9 tons of wheat. but kurt anchor is still worried. the land is drying out because the last years have seen far too little rain by a diesel program. this thumbed up, these drones are pushing to land to the breaking point. if it completely dries out, then even the best farmland can support plants without additional water. boulden need and that's a problem. we're facing no boxes or when does this gig mother does problem 4 kilometers away. we find another field that's completely dried out. even though

kurt invested heavily in fertilizer and pest management systems over the last year, he won't be able to produce more than 2 or 3 tons per hector. the ground is sandy and full of rocks. the seedlings hardly have a chance to take root. there isn't any water the fuel, 50 hector's, of rock hard ground. good said lunkhead seek thus incleanse, cindy, frank out. the damage isn't as wide spread here. was to put them to this, but it's still worrying when you see the conditions here among these, the booster and they had seal see and how little we can harvest, solve in a younger, fha, m at hoisin in western germany is experimenting with plans that can thrive during the drought he cultivates millet, which could serve as a replacement for corn and wheat. but many german farmers had little experience with millet and have been slow to embrace its cultivation. but that could change as droughts become more frequent and intense inefficiently. what soluble when i am

convinced that with a bit of reflection, many farmers will come around, and millet will be cultivated more often and become a staple grain kind of income. but local farmers aren't as skeptical when it comes to new technology. almost all forming equipment manufacturers have started making devices to keep moisture locked in the ground. after the harvest, the farmland is pressed flat without breaking up the top soil. and the old husks help protect from the sun. well hasn't got eyes are in cousins as soon as there is a malt covering meaning that the old plant husks are left on the surface than ground temperature sink. and the lower the temperature of the less water loss we have. a dunston farmer could anchor has already overseen 35 harvests. he isn't ready to embrace new crops like millet, but new water conservation techniques have already become commonplace on his farm.

and he is reminder of the top business story we are following for you at this hour, chancellor shawls horizon ottawa on sunday to discuss trade with canada, a fellow member of the g 7, which was large deposits of lithium cobalt nickel. it's also going produce of hydrogen. mister schultz is expected to sign a memorandum during his visit on establishing hydrogen supply chains with canada. and that's a show for now. for more check out our website at d. w dot com slash business. and of course, the dub d w. news, youtube channel for score. we're in berlin. thanks for watching. have a successful the eco africa. clean drinking water. hard to come by. come odyssey in the slums of ne robi possible solution vending machine full water. they are designed to give people access to the precious result in an easier and more affordable way with me now
