deal could part the national security risk. also on the shy, we meet a group of providing kids in india with an education and nutritious meals. as the problem of hunger, there appears to be worsening. ah, i'm jared raid. thanks so much for your company today. the government here in berlin has given permission for china to invest in germany's biggest shipping container terminal. the chinese giant costco will now be allowed to buy a stake in the port of hamburg. it's a controversial deal that's going ahead despite loud cause for it not to are the concerns of becoming more dependent on china, germany's top trading partner. so that led to a compromise elating cause co by a smaller stake then it had initially wanted. the w political correspondent emanuel

shars joins us now from our parliamentary studios. emma, hi there. could you flesh out the details of this hamburg deal for us? roger, you've mentioned that this is a compromise initially. cosco wanted to acquire a $35.00 bits and stake in the operator of germany's biggest container terminal in hamburg. but the chancellor's cabinet has now agreed to a deal on a smaller stake and less than 25 percent. due to a growing concerns over the consequences of such a deal, such as increasing germany's dependency towards china. but also out of security concerns with china, china's agents are present in yet another huge and strategic harbor basing does expand its political and military interests. because costco is a state own company, it buys by beijing's rule, and in doing so, it can very well decide also to ship or not to ship goods. and this reminds us very

much of the economy dependency germany self inflicted by striking this was russia for decades before russia's war in ukraine. and these make, it makes it very hard to sanction russia afterwards. so there are fears here, embedding that this could be a repeat. should china, for example, ever be subjected to sanctions if it broke international law? now, emma, given all that, allowing a chinese company a share in critical german infrastructure kind of being without some controversy. it has indeed created a huge controversy here in berlin and not just within the population. gemini is still dealing with the consequences of its dependency towards russian energy, which it has favored over the past decades, despite warnings from all of its allies about precisely such a dependency. now, there is a political dispute within the governing coalition with both the greens and

a free democrats being at odds with the chancellor over his decision to give more leverage to costco. and what's more, all our shows. the chancellor also happens to be handbooks, former mayor, it's something he knows very well. and he chose to ignore the advice from 6 ministries, federal ministries that rejected does deal with costco. and that was that this would extend cost cuz influence in the region for a minister on, on, in upper book, as said that germany should avoid repeating the mistake. it made a weird russia when it comes to ties was a china and even the german presidents, hon. batista my at warned against a chinese dependency. and german intelligence also said that because of the strong economic ties between berlin and beijing, china's financial might, could also become a risk for germany. now emanuel lithuanian delegation has been visiting ty,

one this week, and while there sounded a warning against striking deals similar to the one that germany is now agreeing to with china. let's take a listen to this. now m r, i'm will come back to you. i really don't believe i do the same mistake the whole did with russia, with trade over with russia. yes, nobody was listening. and now we all pay the price. if you've reported extensively from ukraine as well as she a 2 in germany on the deep, vulnerable vulnerabilities that it's ties to russia from his ties to russia that the war has exposed. i'm wondering if you could use that experience to reflect on what we just heard from that low maker. well 1st, what we've just heard comes families through and now this is a country which knows very well about transitioning to democracy as it did so in the ninety's. and it explains as well why lee 3 and now is so other men to defend

itself guarantee europe sovereignty, democratic values, and a rule of law against any also italian estate. and what happened at the beginning of russia's war in ukraine was that the european, a reaction to which was greatly hindered by europe's and germany's dependency to russian energy. and when it comes to china, there is a fear of similar consequences. and i have personally as seen 1st hand the effects this war has on ukraine on his population. and we've all seen a trudy swore how economy dependence are in authoritarian, non democratic states, canada and germany had to seriously review its economic choices. its alliance in light of russia's war and this position did per germany at odds with its allies when it comes to energy. diaz, for example, that was d. w. political correspondent, manual shows the manual. thank you. bought even after the german cabinet approved

a deal, germany's foreign ministry sounded a warning again. it said that the chinese investment in hamburg, increased dependence on china and put european transport projects in danger. china's foreign ministry meantime had this to say, the co operation is mutually beneficial. all involved should be reasonable and stop speculating on chinese foreign ministry spokesman wang when been de speaking after germany's government approved a deal to allow a chinese shipping giant to a by a stake in the port of hamburg ah, to india. now where figures showed that it's back sliding in it's fight against malnutrition, the newly released world hunger index. now places india behind its neighbors, including bangladesh, sri lanka, and myanmar in its rankings. it's estimated that more than $3000000.00 children in

development and that can affect their cognitive development. you know, a recent global hunger index report has thrown more light on this situation. the annual report which combines for competence under nourishment, j, stunting, j wasting, and j mortality has drank india $107.00 out of $121.00 countries. and it has labored the level of hunger in the country as serious, but the government has not taken very to this report. the indian government had rejected the global hunger index report calling it. iran is biased and disconnected from ground reality. it also says the index deliberately ignores the efforts made by the government to ensure food security for the population. deepest in her, a professor of economics says, this claim does not hold any ground. and that the index uses official government data. she says the reports should motivate the government to review the measures they have taken so far. that are a number of policies in india,

addressing the issue of hunger man nutrition. but did art severe limitations to these programs fun? is that not everybody's covered? the exclusions and secondly, also that in terms of the nutrition content of what the government does distributing that are limitation, it says it's time to pause and reflect on what more needs to be done. the teachers at the center agree at their end. they tried to maintain height and weight records of all the children and accordingly, big changes to the menu to cover daniel additional needs. coming from severely deprived backgrounds. these children have found hope and nourishment till giving them a chance to build a better future. well, people in bangladesh are picking up the pieces after yet another natural disaster shit. their country. at least 28 people have died since like line c trunk swept
