[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, germany's chance no walks a fine line during a controversial visit to beijing or left shoulder looks too deep an economic ties with germany as big as trading partner. one also broaching difficulties to such as

the war in ukraine and china's the britain to war. taiwan also coming up left alone in the cold and jaw 4 and a half 1000000 ukrainians without power off to relentless russian air strikes. here the choose the small scope of energy, terrorism, and pakistan's. iran con, survives a shooting at a protest. ready? the gunman allegedly confesses to attempting to assassinate the former prime minister plus to his new boss, 1000000000 in on must believe begins flashing jobs in a bid to make the platform more profitable. ah hello, i'm christine one to welcome to the program. it's good to have your company. germany is chancellor. olaf schultz pressed china on its support for russia and ukraine

during talks in beijing on friday with chinese leader sheeting thing and claim yet li to change cells also address controversy of the economic and human rights issues . he is traveling with a business delegation and has faced cause to reduce germany is dependence on its biggest trading partner. allies like france and the u. s. are critical of the visit, because it's now while schultz was outspoken on russia league a chain, didn't even mention chain as ally by name. both leaders raised the issue of grain exports being affected by the war. and here's what they had to say. they china and germany barrow responsibility for the entire world. so we a world currently fraud with so many problems in terms of green supply in energy. while china is a big country with 1400000000 inhabitants. we want to supply many other countries with chinese grains, leila should rulebook. we very much hope that the world green market

stabilizers and we hope that the international energy supply margaret also becomes more stable. because if not, it will be very damaging for the economies. not just of our countries, but also the world. sheila, the sun courses, china is an important country as a member of the un security council here. it's hard to fight, not so much in china also has responsibility in the world. however, i told president she that it is important that china uses its influence on russia. it is about the principle of the un charter that we have all agreed on and asserting views, principles like sovereignty and territorial integrity of every country. so these are important issues for china as well. this is sheila and vision because of the consent. earlier i spoke cdw chief international edison, richard walker in beijing. he is part of the press delegation accompanying sholtes on his trip to china. he analyzed the different statements that we got from shelves

and leave with regard to russia were i think christina would be unrealistic to expect leeker chang or to really go much further than what he said. and of course, we've seen earlier this year, china and russia embarking on what she does, pink vladimir putin caught called a no limits relationship. she, jim ping, china's paramount leader. having tied his face very closely to vladimir putin. so i didn't, you could really expect leeker chang number 22, she jumping and a man who will be out next spring. as part of the latest leadership shake up here. you wouldn't really expect him to, to sort of throw russia under the bus in a, in a press, a situation like that. but one thing that he did say, which i think will maybe cause a little bit of satisfaction on the german side, is that he, he said, i think the formulation was we can't afford to see any more escalation in ukraine. and i think that will be taken by the many observers, i think,

to be at least an oblique reference to the threats of nuclear escalation that have been coming out of russia. so i think there may be at least some mild satisfaction with that. but in terms of all our shot, i mean, he was very clear and perhaps clearer than some would have expected him to be, that he expected russia to use its influence. and so he expected china to use its influence over russia in dealing a with this war. and really, very clearly, as we just heard, they're saying that as a great country, as a large country, as a member, a permanent member of un security council, the child has the responsibility to do so. now we had young and hot on the program . he was a senior advise on foreign affairs to angler, michael, and is a member of the german parliament for the opposition see to your party. i started by asking him what he thought about all i've shelters visit to china. visits of chem chances in china. a long tradition also under the american visit to china,

i think to have times times changed. and we are now in a situation where china is strongly supporting the biggest spoiler in international politics and intellectual security, russia. and therefore, when i hear the voice of the prime minister, the president be concerned about climate policy, about shortage at craig, about risk of recess recession and about economy. if they have it in their hands, the chinese government can put its influence on russia to stop that against to create which is the biggest challenge we have international in the international arena. and even the question of energy is depending very much on that question. therefore, i cannot believe what china se jenna says he wants to reduce risk in the both of the concrete, what they do,

the country of that. right. and i miss clear birds of all of that. ok, i want to get back to the prophecy around this, is it because we know that the german chancellor has taken with him a big business delegation. the european union's top diplomat, for example, has today said that western countries and that is a reference to germany among them, needs to reduce their dependence on china. and we're hearing from the german chancellor just today in beijing saying that he wants stronger economic ties with china. so which is the right way here we have had a big discussion in the last days in germany on the decision of the chancellor, not to stop the jumping off of china on the part. there were 6 ministries of his government say, no, we should stop that. but he decided that a chinese state company called from china, i can take a share of the mumbo power. this is a control of that. what we expect from our government at the moment to make it

depends a little bit more, more or less. and it's my major concern with the behavior of the term chances that what we do as germany needs to be clearly agreed miss and dialogue discussed with our european and america our leverage to influence child's behavior on the international market. it's much bigger if we met our power in european union and a trans atlantic wise, but we do go to so i think i fear that the check will not communicate results of speech properly to this colleagues and european union. and this is a big mistake. mister hart is germany potentially finding itself in the, in this position that it has been in the for rights out channel medical. and the whole time was also criticized for an over dependence and over reliance on russia.

we're now seeing the repercussions of that is translate sholtes potentially putting germany in the same position. now with china creating this over reliance over dependence on economic science, beijing i think, to relations to china, especially the economic relations are very strongly from both sides. i think also china is depending on the good great relations to europe and north america. because otherwise you cannot fulfill their proposal to the people to have more welfare in the country and more in the country. therefore, from my point of view, we have a chance to convince china not to engage in the aggressive behavior in the world economic wise and military wise and political wise. if we met our powers, nuclear union and north america together and give clear a common position to china, the question id sits. this can be a basis for good negotiations with china,

but not if only one of the heads of the states is going there and talking to, to say on the ballot. right? right. so if i'm getting it correctly, mister ha, you're basically saying germany alone doesn't have enough power to wield influence or the other china. that's what this is my, that i'm convinced that we need a combination of our powers, european union and north america together are strong enough to convince china knox to act as they did in the past. for example, and having a shares on critical infrastructure. our core technology of the future in our countries, but not allowing us to do that same in china. my answer on that question of the participation of the i'm booked up was why not changing shares about will participate in the shanghai port and vice versa. but this is not possible with china and it is, this is not possible. we cannot do that. that's all right, that's

a year and hon. member of the chairman parliament for the opposition city, a party mister. hop. appreciate your coming on to the program today. thank you. goodbye and some, all of today's top stories from around the world. south korea says it has mobilized 80 war planes in response to the detection of 118 north korean military flights near their shared border. south korea, the united states, have extended their military drills after a barrage of mistletoe from north korea. the husband of the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi has been released from hospital where he underwent surgery for injuries from an assault last week. a canadian man has been charged with breaking into the couples home in san francisco, and attacking mr. pelosi with a hammer. he remains under doctor's care. every smog has forced authorities to shut down primary schools in the indian capital. daily. oldest school children are attending classes with masks,

but parents concerned about the severe pollution levels. according for foreclosures, indian authorities have deployed water and sprinklers and ordered the closure of factories and construction sites to control the smog. brush and ukraine have confirmed a recent exchange of $214.00 captured faces. russia's defense ministry released forty's, that it says shows the $170.00 russian soldiers being received. the ministry saved the soldiers were heading to moscow for medical treatments. now ukraine's president bloody me. zalinski says, russian strikes have lived more than 4 and a half 1000000 people without power across the country is valencia kisses. maslow, of energy, terrorism for escalating attacks on ukraine's hollow grid as winter lose. similar attacks on infrastructure have also damaged ukraine's water supplies. officials have asked refugees not to return to the country this winter because of fears of

further our correspondence that nick connelly and keith told me how challenging it is getting the power back up after such, airstrikes seen. it is getting harder by the day. and there was a sense kind of up to about a week, 10 days ago that ukraine was just remarkably resilient, that every time we had those huge russian airstrikes within about a day, most of the kind of emergency blackouts would be over. but that is now no longer the case. basically the destruction is just too wide spread even though the system was constructed in soviet times to with, withstand, followed of destruction that now just isn't something that can be hidden any more. and there are plans certainly blackouts across the country here in care of where i am. it's a bit better the capital is getting more resources. but on average, people here are expected to put up with 12 hours of outages every 24 hours. now those are kind of scheduled to people have time to kind of prepare, but often doesn't really go to class this morning. we had about half

a 1000000 households in fear with emergency power cuts. and this is really just starting to affect people's ability to go about that they love to earn, earn a living, those people hearing here work in i t, they work for clients abroad, if they're without power, and often with, without mobile phone connection because the phone infrastructure is also without power that really affects their ability just to get by a lot of people i think who thought that they were able to kind of get through and somehow carry on with normal life. even though there was fighting a couple 100 comes away. that is now no longer the case. you are increasingly hearing people talking about generators. people talking about how much it costs west get the diesel from if they can install it on their balcony. so real sense that even before the kind of worst winter weather has started, people are really feeling that, that, that impact make a rush, an official said, that maslow is likely to pull its troops back from the west bank of their de naperville river in hassan. and has urged civilians to leave. does that mean that russia is preparing to retrieve? yes and no, i think definitely you know,

the days of russian control on the west bank, the pro river round that steve had a song, they are definitely numbered. it's basically a kind of outlying a bit of russian hill territory that is very exposed. the bridges across the river have been largely put out of action by ukrainian attacks and are dependent on air and on pontoon bridges to get supplies in. but the question is, how long this is all gonna take? yesterday we had some social media footages of russian or flags, basically going down, disappearing from government buildings and fifths on rich. remember, here had a song in a city that russia has annexed, has now claims its own, but suddenly the russian flags were gone. checkpoints that had been for months, disappeared. and there was a sense that the russians had packed up and gone in a hurry. but there was a lot of suspicion here in ukraine that maybe this is a little a big could provocation, a trap to try and get the ukraine troops to go in and then surprise them. i think there's still lots of russian troops there. an expectation here given is still going to take a couple of weeks. and just a quick one, nick, what more do we know about this prisoner's swap that says happen between moscow and keith? well,

they are happening at quite some intensity and frequency here. it's kind of extraordinary, basically since 2014, since the war began this new grain, that was a very difficult topic and they were doing it lots them would fail before they actually happened. and sometimes it will wait years to be swapped. and now they're happening in spite of much more intense fighting and much more kind of embittered a rivalry and kind of conflict in the 2 countries. i think it can, externally, they're still talking directly basically all other issues. ukraine and russia refused to go and sit at the same table. they would have a middle man, some like turkey in between. and here it is still possible, but definitely lots of prisons on both sides, still in pretty different conditions, waiting for to be exchanged. right back saturday because on a nick connelly reporting from kevin. thank you, nick. now pakistan's on the prime minister emron khan is recovering from surgery after surviving what his aids are calling an assassination attempt con was shot while leading a protest march on the capital, islamabad. police have arrested the suspects have gun in the day, say was acting,

and ah, there's a party atmosphere is emron. cons convoy rolls into town. ah, good then out of nowhere, a series of gunshots fill the air. and pakistan's, former prime minister, goes down. his quickly carried away and taken to a place of safety. clearly in pain, he separate a gunshot wound, scans late revealing bullet fragments in his leg. and he's not the only one injured of the iran, connie's safe and being told that one friend has died. some others are seriously injured. why it was a little while later, the 70 year old appears again outside waving to supporters before being moved into a car and driven to hospital for treatments. lou, this was the 7th day of an anti government protest. march led by the former cricketer turn politician. he's demanding new snap elections after being ousted his

prime minister in a conference vote in april. speaking earlier this week, he insisted the rallies would be peaceful. i don't see any vitamin because we've read to suggest we've never been doesn't violent. we will lose vulgar to supreme court. we're not going to break any laws of the law. in round, con has been accused of creating a political crisis in pakistan, a divided country, which is no stranger to political violence. and this attack only seems to have found the flames with his supporters taking to the streets in anger. and he, believing this was an assassination attempts twister. employees are seeing the company in a class action lawsuit or the mass mail expected to be carried out on friday. be company recently acquired by the bulls, richard, man, iran us told employees they would be notified about terminations by email. twitter offices are closed for the day and badge axis removed. while there's been no

official assign announcement, specifying the number of labels us media reports a half of to it is when force could be made. and for more on this, i am joined in the student out by and dre at newport from a business department. andrea, it's good to have you the studio paps. let's begin with why does yvonne must want to get rid of so many twitter employees? well, the reason is that he needs to reduce costs and save money, and he needs to do that quite quickly. so we'll know how much he paid for twitter, $44000000000.13 billions of that amount was lend to him by banks. and of course, he needed to have a plan to convince them to give them that he might be the richest man on earth, but he still needs to have a plan for them to give that amount of money. and among those places, restructuring and bringing tweeter quickly to more profitability. one thing that's really important to remember, tweeter is a big ne, we'll know twitter, but it's

a small company compared to other tech giants. the last quarterly revenue was only 1200000000. you can see the sheer difference between what must spade and what is going to get with this new tory, we could say, bob. so what he needs to do is to save money quickly. that's layoffs. and then he will have to find ways of course, to make about money. okay, we'll talk about it in a 2nd because while we're talking about the layoffs and we know that a number of employees are now planning on taking cross action ada filed the lawsuit . what, what more do we know about that? so it's still basically breaking news from yesterday, but also to they still rolling out what's going on. we still haven't seen severance packages. we don't know how and actually offer twitter looks like what they've done, in my opinion. basically, a frantic strike has been a lot of talk of layoffs for a while. so what they did, they sort of bram to strike against whatever is going to come. what they're going to do is they want to claim that tweeter in moscow didn't respect the federal and california low that they would have needed to give them 60 days of notice for this

operation. they haven't done it. we'll also see what's going to happen globally because this is a global lay off. so this is about america. we're going to see what happens in the u. k. in germany in india, and so many other countries were twitter as employees. and i guess another one andrea was talking about the finances rise of one of this. there is a new proposal, right? to start charging and he's trying to make money. i found that just tell me about how these ideas it will change. well, the platform will change pretty well a lot. we can say if it goes through with what he has in mind, the shift he wants to achieve is going from depending a lot from advertising, which is right now, maybe 90 percent of tutors revenue and moving all of that more to a subscription based service. so you will have to convince people to pay for something like the twitter blue plan that already exist, but it's really not so popular. it wants to charge $8.00 for that. that might

include a lot of perks of less ads. and especially what you might be referring to, of course, the blue tick, it was new was before the layoffs this week, right? the blue take used to until now a for verification. so the user with the beauty were verified, he was earth. he wants to sort of change that into a subscription badge, but all of these, as you can see, creates a lot of confusion. a lot of chaos is still unclear how direction of this might be . there's been air due on commenting on that it's, it's been really chaotic. what we always need to remember is that this is the loan mosque and the lens rock is vertically, it can do a lot of things. these might be a little bit more complicated than rocket science even though. well, i nicely put thank you and drain employee from d w business. appreciate that. now italy is new far right. prime minister, georgia maloney has held what she described as frank and positive talks. with e u officials and brussels her 1st international trip since taking office was meant

italy's new far i prime minister georgia maloney has just made her inaugural visit to brussels in the future. she will negotiate her migration policy here in the past . her country is called for more european solidarity of you. what a lot of you meant that we talked, of course, about migration flows from the about the change in italy's point of view in its position on the matter lisa. that so for asked the priority becomes one that he's already provided for in european regulations, which is the defense of external borders. italy's interior minister is already showing the government's tough line, a migration refusing private c, rescuers entry into italian ports. dizzy throughout the navita. these ships are flying the flags of norway and germany and international waters. and therefore, as they have been informed by the ministry of foreign affairs, these countries are responsible for assisting the people on board of zoning,

recall gonna inquisitively face. the german government has now asked actually for help for the asylum seekers on the humanity. one, it's unclear whether this will result in the rescue ship being allowed to land in an italian pores. now the beatles recorded their final song together over 50 years ago. but now that the band has been putting out new animated music videos from its pioneering revolver album, the latest offering is made up of a combination of more than 1300 oil paintings. it's for the track, i'm only sleeping. oh, the paint seems to flow across the screen as ringo. paul and george get ready to wake a dreaming john lennox and the beatles new official video. the song i'm only sleeping is from revolver there. 1966 albums. that helped usher experimental sounds in to pop music. british artist m cooper was chosen to create
