[000:00:00;00] ah mm ah, ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, b 1st, if you lead it through visit china's, into the pandemic broke out and the war in ukraine, germany's off sholtes tries, rekindling ties with begging,

but other re you officials frowned on the diplomatically delicate trip some of his own government members were against it. will explain why. also coming up left alone in the cold and dark 4 and a half 1000000 ukrainians without power. after relentless rush and air strikes, keith accuses moscow of energy, terrorism, and pakistan's. a round can survive the shooting at a public protest rally the government allegedly confesses to attempting to assassinate the former prime minister. ah, i've been fizzle and welcome. germany's chance that olaf schoultz has met chinese leda, shinji, ping in bay. james, great whole of the people. the 1st trying to visit by a european union leader since the corona virus pandemic overshadowing shows his visit is criticism of china's tacit support for russia's invasion of ukraine and controversy over

a no make and human rights issues. salts who is traveling with several top business leaders, faces coals through reduce germany's over dependence on its biggest trading partner . allies like france and the u. s. a critical of the visit and even his own coalition partners, a warning against becoming too close to authoritarian regimes. the w's chief international editor richard walker, is covering the chancellor's one day visit to begging. he spoke to us about the significance of the trip, an extraordinarily choreographed visit from olaf sholtes to beijing to day a very controversial one too. but with the choreography is really extraordinary. it's a visit that has left us the travelling press. marooned here in a rather a dylan state guest house for a couple of hours while all of sholtes holds his key meeting with the man at a pinnacle of chinese power. she, jim ping later,

will be joining him as the military honors are held in his honor at the great hall of the people and for further talks are with china's premier lee could chang but schultz is putting a lot on the line for this visit is been highly controversial back in germany and also internationally with many critics saying that shult hasn't yet cottoned on to this, to the widely understood idea that germany needs to rethink its relationship with china. that is, become too close to the chinese economy to dependent on the chinese economy, and that it hasn't properly learned the lessons yet of through it, russian, warren ukraine. and how is that? how that is forced germany abruptly to sever its economic ties with russia? the question in many people's minds is, what if china goes ahead on its threat to invade taiwan at some point in the next

few years, what happens to germany's investments in china? if that happens? what happens to all of the companies that depend on imports of minerals and rare earth and all sorts of other very important a raw materials for their products from china. if a huge sanctions regime had to be imposed on china for a potential war on taiwan. so these are a lot of the questions which swirling around all of shots his visit, but he said he's the time to go ahead with it. he says it's important to keep up the channels of communication with the chinese government. and this is the 1st time since becoming chancellor, that schoultz has had a chance to sit down face to face with china's top leaders, ukraine's president. a lot of us lansky says russian strikes have left some 4 and a half 1000000 people without power across the country. and ski accuses moscow of energy, terrorism for escalating attacks on ukraine's power grid, as when to lose similar attacks. all the infrastructure have also damaged ukraine's

water supply. officials of us refugees not to return to the country this winter because of fees of the shortages during me from cave is the w correspondent, nick connelly. nick, how our authorities doing with restoring power supplies to damaged areas. with stephanie getting hotter where i am here in kia we are currently without power . and if the kind of time table put up by the 30s to be believed, then and people live in central care of will have to do without main electricity for 12 hours during the next 24 hours with 5 hour gaps in between. the trying to kind of share the burden and to give people a chance to plan and to go about their daily lives and make sure to propose the city have more or less the same treatment. there's no special treatment for anyone . there's lots of anger on social media about people sitting in empty in darkened houses, unable to think, looking at neighbors across the road with power. but the stress is actually much,

much worse. outside give to people who live just 200 kilometers from capital. they tell me that they have power for maybe 2 hours at a time, twice a day in the morning and evening and the rest of the time they are without any way of going about their business. working machines, you're trying to earn money and we winter hasn't really started yet. we're still plus temperatures, no frost yet. so it's going to get a lot more uncomfortable before things are sorted. and yet there's the warning from authorities here that their stock of spec spare parts to repaired system. the more russian missile attacks on infrastructure, which are expected, they're basically over now. so any repairs now, a totally dependent on foreign help foreign sped parts to try and keep the system going. make that britain lee bean accusations from russia that ukraine had been developing a cycle, dirty bomb that the international atomic energy agency has said is found no evidence. can you tell us more about that? well, i think this is just part of the bigger russian communication strategy to try and create fear and nervousness,

especially in western european countries like germany that have been supporting ukraine. i think if you look into the details, they're not even really trying to make a conclusive case for any of this. this is just about headlines about making people afraid in the same way that you're early on. in this war, they claimed ukraine had been trying to get proper nuclear weapons, which they again didn't provide any evidence for. i think this is just about creating confusion about creating headlines and about trying to basically make sure that people supporting ukraine outside get cold feet and getting scared of the potential kind of escalation. that is possible here. and you draw down on that support for you, greg. this is, you look, every time that are a kind of civilian casualties here at the russian media will provide only an official source to provide different, often mutually exclusive, explain explanations as to what's happened. and yet then 23 days later, no one really feels need to return to these or explain where that came from. so i think that kind of fits into a kind of bigger strategy that's being used here. and yeah, it's one that it's not really worth trying to find too much logical dw economy in
