ah ah ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin, germany's chance that our walks a fine line during a controversial visit to beijing. all shots asks china to use its influence with russia to end its war in ukraine. the chancellor also looks to expand economic cooperation with germany's biggest trading partner,

also in the show trapped in the cold and dark with winter on its way 4 and a half 1000000 ukrainians without power. after relentless russian airstrikes, keith accuses moscow of energy. terrorism plus twitters at new boss, billionaire. ellen musk begin slashing jobs in a bid to make the platform more profitable. ah, i'm pablo foias. welcome to the program. germany's chance that are all f schoultz press china on it's support for russia in ukraine during talks in beijing on friday with chinese liter, she's in pink and premier lee could chung schultz also addressed controversy over economic and human rights issues. he's traveling with a business delegation, anteaus faced coals to reduce germany's overdue and since on its biggest trading

partner. allies like france and the u. s. are critical of the visit. now while schoultz was outspoken on russia, lee co chang didn't even mention china's allied by name. both leaders raised the issue of grain exports being affected by the war. and here's what they have to say . they, china and germany bear responsibility for the entire world. so we will currently fraud with so many problems in terms of grain supply in energy. china is a big country with 1400000000 inhabitants. we want to supply many other countries with chinese grains. lila should grew up with you. we very much hope that the world green mark had 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,

less than gorse china is an important country as a member of the un security council here, it's hard to find 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 principal 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 or dental news. chief international editor richard walker is part of the press delegation, accompanying charles on his trip to china, and he gave us his assessment last egless chill. this trip debating was incredibly controversial. his critics were saying that by taking a business delegation he made it looked like it was going back to the bad old days of angle, immaculate, a kind of corporatist attitude to germany's relationship with china, all about making money. but in the press conference with his counterpart, lee could chung her towards the end of his visit. schulte made pretty clear

statements, pretty outspoken statements about a range of issues going further, i think, than many of his critics would have expected or matters of human rights in the province of shin chang on the matter of taiwan. and also on russia. calling the chinese very clearly to use their influence on the russians to end the war in ukraine. and also extracting comments that have been widely a reported from she in pain against the use of nuclear weapons in a conflict at that being interpreted is one of the clearest statements that she, jim ping has made so far relating to the ukraine war that will be seen as, as implicitly, at least critical of the russians and relating closely to print from, to a high priority of all sorts, going into this trip to try to get the chinese on board to reducing the risk of nuclear escalation in the ukraine war. so he'll be going back to germany,

feeling reasonably vindicated, i think from his position, which is that it's better to come and talk to countries like china rather than stay away. but still, the criticism remains that his critics have placed over this visit that coming so soon after the party conference congress here in beijing, which crown she, jim ping to a 3rd term, empower here. creating a kind of dictatorial, a glow around him. that it was a mistake for shots to come so quickly and also potentially a mistake for him not to consult more closely and potentially even do a joint trip or with one of his you fellow leaders or i was staying with this topic . we're going to speak now to rasmus anderson, he is a member of the european parliament and of germany's greens. welcome to d w. so this visit will say has drawn plenty of criticism. what's your stance on the german chancellor's visit to beijing at the current time?

well 1st of all, thanks for the invitation. generally i think it's important. busy still also to talk to the chinese leadership. but the way the trip had been organized both when it comes to the timing shortly after the big chinese party congress. but also related to the business to negation. mister shaw sets with them on, on the trip from green perspective and the european perspective would have wished a difference. i think we have quite critical about that at this time and in this setting. right, well tell us the use to set said today actually that western countries need to reduce their dependence on china and all of shells says that he wants stronger economic ties. so do you see this as a mistake? yes and is all feeling is that

while unfortunately we seem to have lost that connection there with rasmus anderson member of the european apartment will move on. it leads you far right. prime minister, georgia maloney has held what she described as frank and positive talks with you officials in brussels. her 1st international trip it since taking office was meant to reassure you leaders about the direction of her government, especially on immigration. and it comes as 3 migrant rescue ships remained barred from italian ports there waiting to go ashore. 234 people on board. the ocean viking plucked from the sea by the organisation at west mediterranean. ne, afford the german flagged rescue ship humana as he won thoroughly nearly 200 people saved from the sea. right. neither more than a 1000 migrants on 3 private rescue ships waiting for

a safe harbor off the coast of sicily. so far without success. when the i look at mid level, our impression is that those rescued on board already being used as the political porn, as a means of pressuring other european governments to act. so we're urging thus a solution be, find for the rescued. first is that all of elfman, anderson for the gazette didn't go from viet 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 know, what a lot of you meant that we talked, of course, about migration flows from about the change any till his point of view, the in its position on the matter, the new stuff that so for us the priority becomes one that is 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. busy throughout the, the knobby, 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 miracle going christie to face. the german government has now asked isley 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 while here are so more of today's top stories. moran world, pakistan's, former prime minister imran khan says he was aware of a plot to kill him a day before the gun attack on his protest. march con is currently recovering in a hospital a day after being shot and wounded in the leg is supporter. say the attack was an attempted assassination, under protesting and cities around the country says korea says it's mobilized 80

warplanes in response to the detection of over $118.00 north korean military flights near their shared border, south korea and the united states of extend that their military drills after a barrage of miss alt tests from north korea. heavy smog has forced authorities to shut down primary schools in the indian capital delhi. older school children are still attending classes with masks for parents concerned about the severe pollution levels are calling for full closures. indian authorities have deployed water sprinklers and ordered the closure of factories and construction sites to control to smoke. russia and ukraine have confirmed a recent exchange of $214.00 captured fighters. russia's defense ministry released footage. that's that it says shows the $107.00 russian soldiers being received. the ministry said the soldiers were heading to moscow for medical treatment. foreign

ministers from g 7 countries of pledge to keep supporting ukraine through the coming winter on the 2nd day of talks here in germany, they also criticize north korea. for series of recent miss are launches and denounced what they described as a political crackdown of protests and iran relations with china were also on the agenda. coinciding with german chancellor, it will have shelter trip to beijing, german foreign minister on atlanta. babcock is expected to speak shortly, and we'll bring you live coverage of the press conference in minster. well, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski says, russian strikes have left some 4 and a half 1000000 people with our power across the country to lansky accuses moscow of energy, terrorism for escalating attacks on ukraine's power, great as winter looms. 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 shortages. while authorities are

raising to try and restore power. and earlier i asked r keith correspondent, nick connelly. how difficult that's proved to be with stephanie getting more difficult. i think the 1st few times these russian attacks on the power system happened was pretty extraordinary how resilient ukraine in it. so thirty's turned out to be basically within space of a day each time you have more or less a return to normal. there were some planned outages but the kind of emergency outages were normally dealt with. and that is now becoming a whole lot more difficult. we've heard from the authorities here, they basically run out of spare parts. so if, as expected, rush to continue with these attacks, the only way to repair the system will be with exclusively foreign supplied parts. now there are also some questions about where the foreign pots will fit the ukraine system, whether they're kind of technical compatibility issues there. and even this morning we saw about half a 1000000 households in care of her in the dark, not according to the time table, just kind of technical glitches there. and people are really starting to kind of

try and think about whether they can actually go about their jobs in to work from home. if that's going to work. they dependent on internet connection to deal with clients brought get money in from foreign clients. that is, will become whole, it will difficult and, you know, even here on the street, people talking about generates the 1st time talking about what they can put them on their balconies where they can get the diesel from. so this is really a really uncomfortable situation and we haven't even really hit the kind of hardest coldest winter weather yet has certainly had difficult situations for everyone there. and so president vladimir putin has urged people still living and have sung to leave the city. so he's claiming he wishes to save civilian lives. there is this an acknowledgment, nick, that russian operations are not actually going according to plan but i think for some time now, it seemed to kind of clear that status on which to it's basically the 1st major ukraine city that russia captured in this war back here with the basic, within the 1st week is very, very vulnerable. it's on the western bank of the depot river. it's kind of little kind of bridge head of russian control, surrounded by ukrainian forces on all sides in the river on the other. all the

supply lines are very vulnerable, bridges, the kind of pontoon bridges getting supplies into the russian soldiers. there is very, very difficult, and ukraine has been. it's best to make that even more difficult as for how fast this is going to go. now there were western reports in social media say of russian soldiers that dispute disappearing off the streets, checkpoints disappearing, russian flags coming down. but there's also a real worry here in ukraine that might be a trick to kind of russian provocation to get the ukranian troops moving in and then to launch counter attack there, there definitely are still confident there are lots of very well trained and well supplied. russian troops in different on so sense that we could see some really ugly battles, may be st. fighting the weeks to come before ukraine fully returns control of the city. nick, if briefly, if you could, moscow has said that it's exchange prisoners with keith. but what more do we actually know about this prisoner swap very little, except the fact that among the ukrainians returned to war about 70 people who were

in myrtle and that as of style factory that you might remember from the spring. i think the most extraordinary things that they are talking at these exchanges or even happening basically in the kind of years of 2014 where the fighting was actually a lot less intense and over many fewer victims. this was a lot more difficult. they were constantly trying to have exchanged and they wouldn't happen and they would, can counsellor last minute. they are happening now. and ukraine and russia are somehow finding a way to deal with each other at the same table. thanks. nick t w's, nick conley and keith. all right, well, as we mentioned earlier at foreign ministers from g, 7 countries are wrapping up at 2 days of talks in the german city of minster and our political correspondent, julia. so deli, has been following the story force i at julia. now, what is your main take away from am what we've seen so far they've, they've actually mentioned already at that ukraine. m was central to this meeting and that they're planning support for keith at considering that there is no end in

sight of the war at the moment. yes, ukraine was the dominating topic, especially on the 1st day of this to day. a g 7 foreign ministers meeting, and there was a lot of common ground and a lot of agreement among the g 7 countries as to how they want to continue supporting ukraine in the long turn. especially looking at the difficult winter ahead. as we've heard a tax on civilian infrastructure on energy infrastructure are really impacting the people on the ground. and g 7 countries wanted directly a help, a civilians tried to get through the difficult winter, so they have come up with a coordination mechanism that is meant to address exactly these issues. they want to deliver aid directly to ukraine from generators to heaters a tense to help house people there. and that is something that they're going to also see in a more concrete form in december when

a meeting coordinated by france and ukraine is going to take part in france to try to come up with more concrete plans as to how these countries can a coordinate to help ukraine, but again, here was again made clear by the g 7 countries, how the actions by russia, against ukraine, especially attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure, are war crimes. and that a g 7 countries are going to hold the people and the institutions who are carrying these actions out accountable. and again, g 7 countries condemned the escalation from russia now. and also russia's nuclear threats, which are seen as something that is unacceptable. today we're just keeping an eye on that the wifi to see if the german foreign minister on a lena bear book am, will come out and speak soon. and when she goes, we'll have to jump to that. but in the meantime, there was also am talk of iran beyond going protests there was discussed. tell us

a little bit more about what stance the g 7 have taken with regards to that issue. yeah, the g 7 countries have expressed their desire to see a, the wishes of the people of iran to have their civil rights guaranteed and to be able to protest without repression, made clear. and they expressed a concern that iran is continuing to repress these protests, and that iran is imprisoning people because they are going out on the streets to protest, including people with dual nationalities and foreigners who are being put in jail and iran. and the, the g 7 countries, however have an issue that they have to deal with because on the one side, they have made clear that iran must not develop its own a nuclear weapons. and that is something that is important to them. but to do that, the, the main tool that has been used in the last few years were these are nuclear and

negotiations as nuclear deal. and at the moment the, the negotiations have stalled. and even though g 7 countries really want to up prevent the development of a nuclear weapon in iran, they also don't want to concede anything to iran at the moment, given the heavy repression that is happening against the population there. so they say that currently iran doesn't really satisfy the conditions that are needed by iran counterparts to re enter into negotiations. all right, julia. so deli dw correspondent, we're going to just leave it there for the moment as we're waiting for the german foreign minister on a lena bear book to come out and speak to us am. will try you again in a little while julia, thank you. all right, well at moving on, bracey, the beatles recorded their final song together over 50 years ago. but now the band has been putting out new animated music videos from its pioneering revolver album.

the latest offering is made up of a compilation of more than $1300.00 oil paintings. and it's for the track. i'm only sleeping. ah, the paint seems to flow across the screen as ringo. paul and george get ready to wake up dreaming. john lennox and the beatles new official video. ah, the song i'm only sleeping is from revolver there. 1966 album that helped usher experimental sounds in to pop music. british artist m cooper was chosen to create the trippy new visuals using her old style oil painting technique. i've always been a beatles fan, and when i saw the opportunity to work on, i'm only sleeping. it was to slight early amazing. it kind of sparked a huge light of ideas straight away. it took a lot longer to get the ideas down. i'm literally painting a frame, i take

a shot and then i usually just why pit and repainted next, shall i mean next frame and the next frame and the next frame and the next frame on it. it it, that's my process. 1300 frames later, the video premiered at this gallery space in central london and on youtube. some of the paintings are based on our cable news reels of the fab 4. but most are the product of the painters imagination. inspired by the beatles own homage to sleep, to slowness out. all right, when you're joining dw news, we're just gonna cross, no lawyers to see the german farmers are unavailable. chris, with sir duncan onwards, kemati. gov and foreign ministers. thank you for your patience, but it took a little longer to bid farewell to my colleagues after 2 very intensive days. today is as you probably know, the 4th of november,

the 3rd 300 and 8th day of our presidency of 37. and at the same time, it is the 200 and 54th day since russia attacked ukraine through these places and a half months of war and destruction, the many people who gave their lives this frontal, shameless attack on the international order had left their mark on our g 7 chairman shipping away unknown before to any such trans class. and i want to be very clear in saying he and now, yes indeed, we're counting every day and time. we're counting every day of this brutal ball when you die of aggression that russia wages against ukraine for every single day is one day to marked every single day. humans means a brutal attack on innocent people in the ukraine lights, and it means suffering, death and destruction. and every single day also constitutes

a missed opportunity. an opportunity that for me to clergyman put in did not use to do the only thing necessary to end this war. and that is to re instruct his truth to return to russian territory. those 917000000 square meters that begin exactly an hour behind the internationally recognized border with ukraine. newton's one of the life and dot is gone when it is so border, is delineated. that has been acknowledged by the international community and recognized by the international community. this meeting in the city of peace of minister has been a choice, a deliberate choice of mine every single day of the past 254 days of

germany's presidency of 37. we fought for they snow to end for peace to finally return to europe. and thus finally, i'm going to be able to address the terrible consequences many of the school has had. when we look back on those past months, we realized that $37.00 i have, i become a coupon, an excellent team on lengthy and the crisis record of a total of 10 meetings of foreign ministers was not something we began as an attempt to say you couldn't hear it was the consequence of fasting focusing right from the very start to coordinate as closely as possible and to assist the ukrainians as best as possible in that fight for survival not. and yet, it is true to say that many other times we're not gonna have to be

porch on the back burner for these many days with made available millions of support humanitarian assistance and military support to ukraine. and i was thinking of, you know, leaders and side, but you have to take political decisions time into day one day after the other. you have a calendar, you have made long term plans. and this is also what politics is about. you have to take the right decision, a purposeful decision every day. you decide and you who side you're on the side of the a tech, out on the side of the victim. given the present situation in which russia's regime has tried to create a situation for ukraine, where they have to live in the darkness and without any heating. we've been at the site every single day as long as it takes,

as long as ukraine meets as every single day. how hard it may be. the me time clever. my colleague, my ukrainian colleague, his become a close friend actually by now has been very clear in his words yesterday what ukrainians need these days. and this is why we are putting together packages for the winter period. we're supplying generators, heating as housing containers, sewage treatment plans and water pump. and within the g 7, we are not only pooling and joining our forces, but we're doing more than that. we have agreed, a so called coordination mechanism today. the purpose being to allow us to identify how you're my best provide the necessary support and complement each others have fits what we've done over the past 2 months in complementing each other's offence when it comes to delivering grain to delivering weapons. when it came to providing humanitarian assistance,

this is something that we will also continue with regard to the aid for the winter period. not only the members of the g 7 bought the members of the international community, so as to ensure that the people in your crank get what they actually need in order to be able to whether the upcoming winter to somehow survive the winter period for the front of you are $254.00 days ago we agreed and we continue to agree to the day that we agree unconditionally, that whenever democracy is under 10, we must and we will bring our weight to bear them to fight for the holding of democracy. i, ladies and gentlemen, the g 7 were found it as an economic collab. even today, we stand up for more than 40 percent of global g d p.

however, more than ever before, we have to remind ourselves of the fact that it is not only about economic prosperity and above all, that this prosperity of ours is wealth we have acquired, comes at a price and that we cannot take complete pride in the waste wealth we have a quiet, thus it is our responsibility now to listen. to not look away to bring our weight to bear to urgently so wolf, the most urgent problems of the world as democracy as the strongest economies of the world. we're talking problems here. for the creation of which we do bear in mind, a large share of the responsibility and that we know have to try to souls to corporation with the climate crisis. is one case in point if veterans are security and thus has become the existential crisis of our century. in all the exchanges, i have had overtime with other foreign ministers with my counterparts. we hear them

say yes, we will be at your side, but you also have to be at our side when it comes to facing up the greatest. frank johnson curity. and this is what we're doing. that is the message that goes up for minister to day on those who will feel the impact of the current crisis most strongly. i exactly, those people who have contributed only to a very small extend to the climate crisis creation, asia and parts of south america. and africa this is why i made a point of inviting guest from gunner kenya and representative of the african union, 2 hours g 7 meeting today. together we discussed how we can stem the climate crisis, how we can mitigate the impact of the climate crisis. and we also talked about how we can work together in order to face up to the global impact of the climate crisis . in the same way in which we stood together over the last 254 days as

members of 37, our message that goes out from here, from the d 7 and it's african partners, is the following. we hear you wherever we are, wherever you are, we are there for you, for your secure it, whenever your security, when ever your security is under attack. and this is more than just words. words will have to be followed by deeds. we ask that you serve, and thus for the 1st time you have agreed the complete de carbonell zation of our electricity sector by 2030. ivan concrete steps for an expedited phasing out of curl with energy partnerships have been set in motion and we, the german government are working intensively, for example, with south africa, but also with a whole host of other countries from all over the world.
