i have been sick, a straight is because we try to to show dory of face of mafia all over the world. environmentalists are in danger. the enemy, roofless corporations, corrupt government agencies, and criminal cartels. with a design and targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d w. this is dw news asia coming up to day unease after a chinese company gets the go ahead to invest in germany's largest port chinese state shipper. costco can now buy a stake in the port of hamburg, despite warnings from multiple german ministries and intelligence agencies that the deal could par, is a 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 buy the concerns of becoming more dependent on china, germany's top training partner. so that led to a compromise elating cause co by a smaller stake day. and 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? well jerry, you've mentioned that this is a compromise initially. costco wanted to acquire a 35 percent 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 presence in yet another huge and strategic harbor basing does expand its political and military interest. because costco is a state owned company, it abides 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 these with 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. germany 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 the

free democrats being at odds with the chancellor over his decision to give more leverage to costco and what small 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 wound that this would extend cost coast influence in the region. foreign 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 hung about us on 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 a 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 and we'll come back to you. i really don't see the tiger . don't do the same mistake. the whole did with russia, radio was protesting, investments and trade overlays with no one who was listening. and now we all pay the price. emma, you've reported extensively from ukraine as well as she had 2 in germany on the deep, vulnerable vulnerabilities that its ties to russia from its 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 authoritarian 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's for how economic dependence in authoritarian non democratic states can end up germany had to seriously review its economic choices. its alliance in light of russia's war and dis position did per germany at odds with its allies when it comes to energy. d, as for example, that was d w. political correspondent, emmanuel shows the manual. thank you. but even after the german cabinet approve the

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. who will 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 humbug? o 2 indian now way figures showing that it's back sliding and 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. you know, a recent global hunger index to quote, has shown more light on this situation. the annual report which combines for competence under nourishment, child hunting, child wasting, and child mortality has drank india $107.00 out of $121.00 countries. and it has labeled the level of hunger in the country as serious, but the government has not taken way to distribute. the indian government had rejected the global hunger index report, calling it iranian 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. deep us 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 report should motivate the government to review the measures they have taken so far. there are

a number of policies in india addressing the issue of hunger minute chance, but there are severe limitations to these programs fund. is that not everybody's covered, that on the exclusions. and secondly, also that in terms of the nutrition content of what the government is distributing, there are limitations. 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 try to maintain height and weight records of all the children and accordingly, big changes to the menu to cover their nutritional 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 ship their country. at least 28 people have died since like going see trans,
