about the level of chinese investment in germany, powerful engine for crisis. i spoke earlier with the w political correspondent, julia so deli, about the details of the media. had the focus today was all on the war in ukraine. it was the main topic being discussed among a leader is here at the g 7 and at this g 7 for a ministers meeting, the focus is specifically on supporting ukraine through the coming winter. now we know that russia has been bombing a crucial civilian infrastructure in ukraine, hitting electricity networks and water supply that, that has, that is having a great impact on the civilian population in ukraine and looking at the winter. that is coming minister is here, including the german foreign minister on it. and i bare books have said that russia is new using the threat of starvation and of death by cold as a new weapon against ukraine and its population. and that is why g 7 countries really want to come together and tried to coordinate

a united effort to try to help ukraine through the wind, through the winter, or by providing aid also in terms of tents and containers and heaters and generators to really try to help the population on the ground, but the focus is also now turning to china and china relation with germany in the specific and i earlier spoke to the e. u foreign policy chief usa burrell. and i asked them about germany in china's relations. let's listen in germany. them much with china. we are looking for the cobbling china with our economy. we thought it would be everybody would understand personally that all countries avenue konami controllers in china. that trip that charles has

taken to beijing at this moment was also discussed between us and german officials with yeah, we've heard from us officials that the aim a here at the g 7 is also to try to harmonize the approach to china among the g 7 countries and try to find a common approach to chinese investment in the g 7 countries, but also on how to deal with china's, china's possible more threatening actions against taiwan. and we've heard from a german foreign minister on a lena bear book that she thinks it's important to discuss ways to avoid making the mistakes that european countries made with russia also with china now, but well with german chancellor olive shots on his way to china with a big delegation of business leaders from german companies. there are concerns among the people in germany, but also german use partners abroad. that germany is not really working to make

itself economically more independent from china. and there is going to, there are going to be discussions here as to how all allies can be on the same page in terms of their relations with beijing. mouse, julia. so deleon, wednesday, many thanks. as we heard, the german chancellor is on his way to china. at beth's hour, one member of his governing coalition says it's probably the most controversial trip to beijing by a german leader in the past. 50 years. the energy crisis resulting from russia's war on ukraine has prompted rethinking, and berlin and other capitals about relying too much on doing business with authoritarian nations change through trade. for years that was germany's china policy. wilma chancellor, anglo michael champion. the idea throughout has 16 years and power, suggesting that making money and fostering change go hand in hand. china is now

germany's biggest trained partner and concerns are growing. that this has made germany dangerously dependent. but if you look at a couple of the kind of key clusters of dependency am when now particularly down to parts of the car and the auto sector and the chemical sector. and i think that's where you have the real dependencies. china under all powerful president, she jin ping has undergone profound change. the economy has reached new heights, but instead of opening up politically see has doubled down on authoritarianism. the idea of change through trade look stead. yet the new government has been wrestling with what to do about that. the coalition deal, the government signed last year, looked tough, with passages on taiwan and human rights. a hallmark of the green party, which holds important ministries in the government,

sites among the time when people say trade, no matter what, no matter what the social and humanitarian standards are. this is the point for relations. this is something we shouldn't allow ourselves any longer. this means that we will also establish a more robust trade policy views of his china for europe, australia. but the man at the top doesn't seem so sure. chancellor on of shawls has pushed through a controversial deal, allowing a chinese state enterprise to buy a steak and germany's most important port hamburg the decision was met with approved from his own coalition partners. most notably from the greens, all of shawls as decision now to travel to china with a business delegation is only adding to the divisions. so where does that leave germany's china strategy? for many will not just look have to look at how to diversify economic relations, but actually how to reduce strategic dependencies on china,

particularly in critical areas such as raw materials. and so for example, areas such as a wind turbine, so solar modules and for electric batteries, for electric vehicles, crucial decisions lie ahead, but it's not clear if the german government can make up its mind. and we spoke earlier with washington correspondent mikaela cooper and asked her how the u. s. is yelling shots, is china with it? well, the u. s. is certainly washing. this was a very critical. i in the advance briefing of the g 7, there was talk of a very intense exchange that would be had on the very issue. china, that company that's investing in germany's a hamburg harbor at the moment is also investing in many american harbors. but at the same time, at the united states with its large economy, other trading partners really wants to see its strategic partners remain on board

when it comes to potentially isolating china. and i just want to greet out what german tasa salts that he said china remains an important business and trading part of germany and europe. we don't want to decouple from it, but the u. s. policy on china speaks of abusive and coercive economic practices in the trading space. and somewhere in between. the united states and its partners are trying to find a common line on china with both deeply invested there, having huge trade volumes in the us. it's more than half a trillion in the case of germany is more than $250000000000.00 or euro's whatever you like. so both can't get away from china and are grappling with how to deal with it. so in your view is germany meeting washington's expectations of being a strategic partner when it comes to china. well,

certainly we saw entity blinking on stage as well. there's a lot of agreement that china needs to be handled with course, and you won't hear a word of direct criticism coming out of d. c. but no doubt there will be more expectations in the future. it's very interesting that german cancer souls takes pretty much head on the question of where you are, where germany has to position itself between the us and china. that is a question germantown, the angular medical always try to avoid it. pretty much all cost. what we are seeing this and is the west stressing how important a common line is, particularly within the g 7 framework. and we hear just heard from the german foreign minister, stress and how much of a strategic alliance, how important that is in terms of defense, in terms of security, in this day and age both for germany and europe. that's where the 2 sides are.

whether we'll see a common strategy, well there isn't even one in the european union, so that certainly isn't going to happen. but the u. s. got a lot more leverage over the ukraine, a conflict to ask its strategic partners to tow. it's lined towards china. those mikaela crew now in washington, d. c. thank you so much. a russian appointed official in ukraine's illegally annex her son. region says russian forces posted along the west bank of the negro river are no likely to leave their positions this as ukrainian forces continue their advance in the area. meanwhile, tens of thousands of people have now left the russian control. city, of course, on many shops and businesses have shut and people have been seen arriving in neighboring a crimea by bus. he when says rushes invasion of ukraine is driving the largest, fastest displacement of people in decades as russia increasingly target's vidal,

b machine. their struggle is shared by millions of ukrainians. now scattered around the world. do you an agency for refugees? describe the situation as the fastest and largest displacement of people in decades . some 14000000 people have been forced from their home since the 24th of february ukrainians are about to face. one of the world's harshest winters, in extremely difficult circumstances. moscow's attacks on civilian infrastructure have distort a 3rd of ukraine's power stations with winter approaching. there are growing fears that many areas could be left without power, heat, or water, with perky women in an interview, broadcast on ukrainian national television last week. ukrainian official advised

finance, sweden, as full members of nato, their exertion will make over lauren's stronger, and the people safer in these dangerous times. it is even more important to foreign laws, their exertion, dw naida export. terry schultz is covering the story for us and i asked her what her main take away from secretaries stilton burke's meeting was well, nicole, this so was something that we don't see happen very often. and that is that we saw signals of impatience from nato secretary, general yen, still timber, you know, until today, all of the allies have said, just lead on career, take its time and, and become comfortable with the finish swedish membership and the commitment to step up counter terrorism cooperation to convince zonker that they are truly against the p k. k, which both countries do classify as a formal terrorist organization to day was the 1st time this oldenburg came out and said, okay, turks you've had enough time. and this is the 1st time we've heard him

a signal that, you know, they think that turkey, that, that fin linens, we didn't have done everything they promised turkey. and that it's time to drop this block. so what's behind turkeys continued reluctance to welcome finland and sweden into nato. you know, a lot of this suspicion is that president air to one simply has a platform now to pressure suite in a country that has long irked it. or tim, because there is a high tolerance for freedom of speech and demonstration even for a group that is considered a terrorist organization. and i can tell you, i was there over the summer and there was a demonstration that was considered just pro kurdish officially. yet the p k. k flags out numbered any other flag by far so you do have a very high visibility of the p k. k in sweden, and that is something that the government feels must be allowed under freedom of speech. now there's a new government in sweden, a new, more conservative government, and they see that they're going to crack down on support for the p k. k because

that is outlawed since it is considered a terrorist organization. so there may indeed be movement on this on the sweeter side that allays even more president air to one's concerns. but this is a complaint that he's had against sweden for a very long time. and sweden's wish to join nato simply now gives him an opportunity to basically exploit it. gothenburg says it's time to welcome finland and sweden. but what does that timeline realistically look like? you know, the conventional wisdom has been that president air to one who is running for reelection would actually drag this out through his reelection campaign to show that he has power over nato allies to show that he can get things done to show that he can make other countries make concessions to turkey, and there's no sign yet that he's going to make a decision any time sooner. just because of this. more recent pressure from nato secretary general stilton berg. so it could be that we don't see a resolution of this until the turkish election,

possibly until the next nato summit, which is next june or july. we won't know for sure, but we could see some signals next week when the new swedish prime minister, who i just mentioned of kristen, goes to ankara and talks about his country's commitment to fighting terrorism with turkey. so i'll be watching that next week to see if president err to one gives any sign that he's willing to drop his blockade earlier than next summer. certainly a meeting to watch terry schultz. thank you so much. and the quick look at some of the other stories were falling for you today. north korea has fired at least for more projectiles, including a suspected long range missile, which sparked emergency alerts in south korea and japan. authorities in those countries say the launch appears to have failed. this comes a day after young young fired a record number of missiles towards south korea. georgia maloney has made her 1st foreign trip as italian prime minister traveling to meet top european
