how they can go with how they can also go terribly. watch, you know, ah ah, that's a student. we news live from berlin. germany's chancellor walks a fine line during a controversial visit to beijing, shots to ask china to use its influence with russia to end the war in ukraine. the chancellor also looks to expand economic cooperation with germany's biggest trading partner. also on the ship. russian officials urged civilians to leave the city,

of course on an indicator that moscow's military might soon leave the negro river's right bank. meanwhile, ukrainian force is prepared to retake the occupied region plus twitter new boss billionaire elan must begin slashing jogs in a bit to make the platform more profitable. and in the world of german football, we talk more about the developing cinderella story in the bonus league. when you in berlin, a little club making a big noise in the race for the tide. ah, i'm nichol freely shower viewers on p b s in the united states and around the world. it's good to have you with us. german chancellor or last shots has asked china to use its influence on russia to stop the war in ukraine. the chancellor made the request during

a controversial one day trip to beijing where he met both chinese president lee teaching, paying an premier leak at young. shoulds has faced criticism at home for the trip duty. china stands on the war and his goal of fostering closer economic ties with beijing. an unusual reception in unusual times because of china, strict sera code policy term, and chancellor, all of sholtes had to get tested before leaving the plane cove. it protocols also set the tone at his meeting with chinese leaders. she, no handshake, no welcoming gesture. during their talks, both leaders said far apart from each other, a symbolic not to the divergence of their political positions. all of shall said, he wanted to discuss strengthening economic ties, but also address differences. see, however, proposed skipping over the differences, urging for what he called a more pragmatic course. after meeting with china's premier lee kit young, all of shall said, job president jesus,

i told presidency that it is important for china to use its influence on russia. it's about being in line with the principles of the united nations charter, which we have all agreed upon. china so far hasn't distance itself from russia and even benefits from the western sanctions on moscow. lee, however, took on the role of peacemaker of those sheila, the 2 sides hope that this crisis can be ended as soon as possible. the situation can be east and it really can not be escalated and our starting point is to promote peace talks. i'm sure. sure. so china's human rights record was on the agenda. in this far, as all of shulte said that he addressed the situation of the suppressed weaker minority a highly controversial visit. earlier i spoke with theresa fallon from the center for russia, europe, asia studies, and asked her about her assessment of the chancellor's trip debating well, i think that both domestically in germany, there is

a huge debate about this and internationally as well because it seemed shows that the very 1st leader to meet, she jumping after the chinese communist party congress. and that led to an unprecedented 3rd term by she, jim paying for it almost seems like rejoicing. and all of this. and the fact that germany, that russia and china, there is a convert as a strategic convergence between the 2 of them. we saw this with the february 4th, no limit to agreement signed right before that being a lympics. many countries in central eastern europe especially see them cooperating more closely. so the fact that germany decided to just go it really upset other members of the you, especially france. so we saw the president crow cancel the meeting with schultz and was kind of unclear why it was cancelled. but many rumors in brussels was that it was because of his anger that schultz was just going kind of a germany 1st approach versus kind of

a whole new approach towards china. so i think that there were many different levels or a lot of anxiety about this meeting. and schultz seemed to have hit all his marks. he, even within his coalition, the greens especially are unhappy about his position to be china. and lastly, the signing of the homburg. port deal, which many a see as a strategic issue. because china went from 0 towards investments in europe to over 10 percent now. and homburg. he seemed to have cut the difference and decided to do 25 percent. i just below it is quite a tight rope act for shelters and germany's economy, and so hugely dependent on china. but his coalition, as you already pointed out, and germany's allies would like to see him take more assertive stance in relations with beijing. so how can we find a balance because he that seems like he hasn't hit it quite yet? well, i think would really clear. i mean, he tried to make it seem like it's

a piece meeting, but he brought a huge group of businessmen with him. but are both business leaders excuse me, with him. and i should add, even the business community with within germany is divided on the b, b i. the german federation of industry was against this. so it shows that even the business community with in germany is not all on the same page in regard to china. so there's kind of a form of a leak capture. some of the top companies we've already invested in china for example, siemens, the car industry and b, s, have the chemical industry. they have huge sunk costs in china. so they need to almost lobby shields to go there and promote their interest. and they, they're doing that because they already have investments in china. so you have other means a small middle enterprises are leaving, many german companies have decided to leave. they're not, it's very hard to repatriate profits. chinese communist party members have to be part of the board and it's getting harder and harder to move data. so i think that

that this is a kind of an unwieldy time, especially since the u. s. and china have very high tensions right now, and also a lot of saber rattling in regard to the taiwan strait. so his timing is quite strange in that respect. in addition, he will be traveling to the g 20 present bite in there's some discussions that he might meet. she jumping on the sidelines. so some of question why he made a special one day visit to beijing at this time, rather than maybe do a site meeting on the side length of the g 20. nevertheless, he is the chancellor of germany and i think he made a very for him, it was his choice, but i think it, we see a deeply divided germany on this topic. and let's keep in mind that he really gave china a lot of face because china is seen pretty much as a pariah right now. so by doing this, he really helped german china. but we must remember, like we saw the, you know, them getting their coverage test on the plane before they even left the plane that,

you know, she didn't things policies in regard to call. it is also a frustration for many, many business leaders. and so this is crippling, not only times economy, but other countries economy as well. theresa fallon of the center for russia, europe, asia studies. thank you so much for your insights. thank you. j 7 foreign ministers have pledged to keep supporting ukraine through the coming winter and talks and germany speaking at the conclusion of the meeting and men stud german, foreign minister and alina babble, also criticized. ron's cracked down on protests and urged action on the climate crisis. but russia invasion of ukraine remained top of the agenda it's, he didn't talk to you, we're catching every day of this brutal war of aggression. you know, that russia is waging again, su, crane. i know every single day is one day to many sock every single day means a brutal, a talk on innocent people in ukraine. in there, i don't mean suffering dead lights on destruction. on such do,

russian president vladimir putin has urged civilians to leave the city of carson and the face of ukrainian advances there. the statement is the latest indication that the russian military may be planning to withdraw from the occupying ukrainian city. moscow has been ferrying people out of the area on the western side of the denise pro river, also known as the right bank for days now. it may not look like it, but this river could soon beyond the front line. here russian soldiers are assisting residence from the occupied ukrainian city of her san crossing from the right bank of the denise pro, to the left, according to troops here, around 1200 vehicles. and 5000 civilians are being transported every day. and its suggested that they may be about to do the same a signal, perhaps that moscow is ready to give up ground in this war. what his law was,

what i think potentially the russian army is ready for another act of good will regarding the left bank of a depraved just in the area of a city of hassan. but for this, they will still have to take losses due to the response of our armed forces in moscow, no official word yet on the withdrawal of troops to the left bank. instead, president putin seemed to be enjoying festivities to mark russia's unity day, a national holiday to celebrate a popular uprising against polish and lithuanian forces in $1612.00. this year the focus was also on the annexation of ukrainian territories. with some young volunteers, given an audience with mister putin, where he explains why people are being told to leave her son ah, to fill it with her for those living in her son should be removed from his own with

the most dangerous military actions are taking place for civilian population should not suffer from shelling from the offensive counter offensives or any of the actions connected to be ongoing military operations. villa remarked liberating her son city would be a major victory for keith. these ukrainian soldiers digging in for the winter, and near by mc alive, know they may be told to head that way soon. but there's a feeling here that any offensive will be complicated, and they will need more supplies and weapons if any assault is to succeed. just get you up to speed now on some more of today's top stories. former us president donald trump says he might run again in the 2024 presidential brings but stopped short of announcing his candidacy. he was speaking in iowa to rally support for republican candidates ahead of next week's midterm elections. trump remains the parties, de facto leader protesters and ryan police have clashed,

and the northern iranian city of rushed amateur footed shows crowds charging the police, forcing them to retreat and regroup. nationwide anti government protest erupted in iran following the death of a young woman in police custody several weeks ago. and yet another climate change, protest involving art and food. italian activists through pea soup over been said, been, goes the so are painting on display in rome. the gallery security, intervene immediately and remove the protesters. as in the case of previous such protests, the artwork was covered by glass and remains on damaged. if it were up to finland and sweden, they would have both joined the nato defense alliance some time ago. but their applications are currently stalled. turkey is one of only 2 member states that has not yet ratified their accession. nato chief and st oldenburg is hoping to change that with a 3 day trip to turkey, which began on friday. a secretary general young sultan burg appears to be running

out of patience with turkey's blockade on finland's and sweden's membership in the alliance. so it's time to welcome fealand. i'm student as full members of natal. their accession will make our lawrence stronger, and our people safer turkish president recipe bear to one has been holding up the ratification process for the nordic applicants. saying that sweden, in particular, has been too soft on the p k. k. the kurdish militant group, which enjoys high visibility and sweden, despite the government officially classifying it as a terrorist organization, swedish devotion to freedom of speech and its traditionally liberal asylum laws have long hurt the turkish president. we have been a very important refuge for many chords who have been persecuted in turkey, and among those r p k support. so you have sort of a whole range in tweedy and turkey, is unhappy with this situation. an agreement this free government signed at nato's

june. summit in madrid, convince dare to want to allow the nordic countries to formally opened the accession process in exchange for pledges to improve counter terrorism cooperation and to crack down on supporters of the p k. k. but all 30 allies must also ratify the membership and that's where air to one has prose in the process. stilton berg argues the 2 governments have delivered on the madrid, memorandum finance or, or implementing the only the station own stepping of cooperation with turkey on pausing. tiresome, also removing restrictions on arms exports to to keep that turkish foreign minister member loot shopping. so who says his government isn't satisfied yet? women college almost about it's not enough to lift and i arms embargo. it's important that once a these countries exceed no stead bags are taken earlier this week. finish prime

minister son amarion hoped for a breakthrough. i think it would be very important that this would happen, preferably sooner than, than later. but despite the new pressure from st oldenburg, it's widely suspected air to one plans to drag out this process through his campaign to be re elected next june. it may actually be a political shake up in sweden that provides some new impetus for a resolution. swedish voters ousted their social democratic lead government last month and put conservative parties in power, making the far right anti immigration, sweden, democrats, on the 2nd largest party in parliament. that could help new swedish prime minister who christa and promised more changes to come. when he visits on camera next week, twitter employees are suing the company in a class action lawsuit over math layoffs expected to be carried out on friday. the company recently acquired by the world's richest man, ellen musk told employees they would be notified about terminations by email. twitter offices are closed for the day, and badge axes has been removed. well,

there has been no official announcement, specifying the number of layoffs us media reports say, half of twitter is workforce is being let go earlier and spoke to our corresponding carolina. she moy, who was following the story for us in washington, and i asked how ellen mosque is planning to keep twitter running without large parts of his stuff. that is a very good question, a call especially since we know that mass is looking to cut around 3700 twitter stuff. roughly half of the whole stuff of trader. he is thinking of course, to flash cost. but this is not really a surprise since major. a advertisers have been threatening to completely withdraw from the platform. like for example, folks wagner, who has recommended it's brands to, to pass paid advertising on trader until further notice as well as general motors and also general mills. so mask will have to see what he makes out of twitter with

half of its half and less profits. we also know a bit more about the departments. he has been cutting off the company. the company's communications seem in india has been laid off, as well as a team that was researching and pushing for i'll go with make and transparency and building ethical tooling and methods. so this might give us a hint of how mask is planning to keep twitter running with half of his staff and probably less profits. musk has now been in charge a twitter for only a week. how have users been responding to take over so far? well, there's so many things on social media and he called the reactions are quite opposite . on the one hand, we've seen the ones who are tearing him up and saying that finally there is going to be a freedom of speeds on trader and no more cancelled messages. anymore on the platform,

and then we also have the ones who are actually leaving the platform. many of them, former trader employees who are joining alternative social media networks like master, done my plan to charge a dollars for the verification sign on twitter 3 are also a wave of negative reactions precisely among famous users. like for example, i'm other stephen king or singer, toni braxton, or also congress woman a o c. so a quite a polarized set of reactions on twitter. since then, are we any clear about where musk wants to take twitter? i'm not really must, has been talking now for months about the importance of treater is crabbing it as the public town square of the world and saying he will restore freedom of speech. but the big question is, of course, and it remains. what does mr. massey understand? and are freedom of speech as far as reinstalling the band accounts, which was one of the critics and main concerns of civil rights groups. here in the

us must have mosque, has said that he is not going to re installed, suspend to pounds. like, for example, the bank account, a former president, donald trump, because this is going to be a clear and a long process. so even if we don't know that many details about where mosque wants to take trade or at least we do know that for example, he is not planning to reinstall former president trump's account before the mid terms currently, naturally in washington. thanks for that. pakistan's military has head back at allegations from former premier enron con, that it was involved in a shooting at his protest. march, the military said, con statements were baseless and irresponsible, and called on the government to initiate legal action against the former prime minister. cons protest, march to islam about was interrupted when a gunman opened fire on his campaign, convoy wounding him and killing one of his supporters. ah,

beard and shocked and politically charged. their leader in ruin hood has survived and abandoned assassination attempt. hun who sleeping up brutus much to the capital islam. but when he was short, i went on from the attack, hung blasted on his leg, just the public. he accused the prime minister and senior officials often attempt on his life, the irish ruby. 3 people planned to kill me with the prime minister, boosted the interior minister. and a major general didn't present the government, deny fairly kitchens and rather blamed his party for lack of security. he began you the seriousness of this incidents for what we would appeal to carnegie, to review their security de la darcy, dick. like 100 of his supporters at dick. if going forward, demanding an early general election on your pinnacle,

we beg you to please save him. take care of him not catch the people he carried out this attack on him. one after all. what is he asking for a dog that he is asking for is free and fair elections? father, dog. but the thief thief is following the democratic proof and fighting back heart . a non hahn was ousted to unknown confidence wouldn't april this year. since then, he has been able to mobilize my 5th droughts. hon says he was removed from office through a foreign construct, a scene while being the military stablish man. his product ticket opened and, and the u. s. those allegations have not been proven what ah, if you're following the bundis league a, you may have noticed something strange happening only on berlin have dominated top spot in the table for 6 weeks in a row. now a club that was only promoted to the top like 3 years ago, or now possible title contenders,

but it's something they'd rather not talk about. oh, anything as possible if you're when you're in berlin that include scoring a goal in the last minute of a match to grab the 4th 3 points as seen here last sunday, against boucher mentioned blackboard. but damn mentioned the bonus, eager title, and the players are quick to wear shit off, nodded either so as far away. so maybe i do have to luca from game to game. oh, really good for her. if the people are going like this and a guy, those not the something you speak about, perhaps noon is just trying to keep it real. they know exactly what they good at. and that's where the focus goes. like paying on home turf where they have yet to lose again this term. and they've shown that they can keep up with the big guys, beating light take endorsement as well as holding by and to a point. but that wouldn't be the full story. their defense is another factor on

your own. have only conceded 9 goes into the games, the fewest in the league. yes. even less than by a munich. and in attack, they have the surprise of the season, shiranda rebecca, exceeding all expectations with 6 doors and 3 assists. so far, then again, you shouldn't be surprised at all because coach was fish is known for making play. it's better. it's the fisher effect. but even he dismissed any title, talk dollars group. it's a great feeling. last we let the fans celebrate m d, and they're allowed to sing alberta for all much for us. it's just a snapshot in time. all it's great, although we are gone, not as is stir, nor coordination, sir, give on. and some might argue that sick street matches on top of the bernoulli a table is more than that. and perhaps an indicator of what's to come. and joining me now for more on, on young berlin's incredible rise to the top of the mens when his legal table is

anthony howard from d. w. sports. anthony, how refreshing is there to see someone at the top? it's not buyer like a big for off the be on a friday night. nicole, this is very refreshing. it's the 1st 10 years in the making, right? so by munich of 110 bonus like a titles in a row. and it's getting hard to come in here and tell someone like you are the bonus tag, it is really exciting when the same thing keeps happening. and then along comes on yawn berlin, like an oasis in the desert in the, in the desert of storytelling about football. they feel like it's really refreshing . and it's not that it's like, it's also not dork mine is not like say, good, not frankfurt. it's only on berlin who only came in the league in 2019. it's great that they stay. it's really great effort to, to push towards your pan places. but to leave league is a fairy tale only on berlin. there total squads with a $104000000.00 a once, that balmy, but by and spend 9 times as much as that i $178000000.00 on young berlin. a legitimate, very tell story. given that this is a world cup here,

a very odd one at that. could that play in their favor? most definitely a, it's about the size of the brain. we talked about this before. we came on a, the bundle like opposes for 60 days. they were i by and players who were just in the german score, then they've got more place a spread around the other 31 teams. so yes, the going to be busy while that when you on. so what scott will will be resting. but i don't really like you and they, with a beer under a tree, they going to try and, and it's about this balance now between physical preparation of the, the development teams on the strength and conditioning teams. how do i keep them fresh and interested? wow. taking advantage of not playing while kimmy can noise cause we misleading their guts out in could tar the, you know, only on berlin could play that to their advantage. but the more i think about, i think a bright that long, $68.00 days without playing a competitive one does like a match. it may work in bonds 5 as a race it let's say we don't have much time left, but do you think they can actually win the title in may of before us or less the

city when the premier league in 2016 a would have said no but this fairy tale is alive and that list of was the modern fairy tale. but if one young berlin would leave my with the trophy, every jim and football fan would be living happily ever off at your dark horse. thank you so much. and anyhow, thanks to cough and let's take a look now at some other headlines from the sporting world. legendary spain defenders here, i think he has announced his retirement from football is one of course alone is no successful players of all time having 19. the lead a title and 3 champions links with the cadillac giant plains final game for the club on saturday. and the 18 the brooklyn nets have suspended their point guard, kyrie herb for at least 5 matches after he failed to deny. he holds anti semitic beliefs. irving has been accused of sharing anti semitic material on his social media account earlier this week, and has yet to apologize. and his news world number one e, gusty outside of poland,

has breezed into our 1st w t. semifinals with a comfortable screen says 6362 victory over francis, probably in garcia, a 3 time grand slam winner, one. both the for a group stage matches to reach the lighter stages. and a reminder of the top story we are following for you today. jeremy's transfer all of shots pressed china on support for russia and ukraine during talks in beijing on friday with chinese leader. she ging paying and premier in the kitchen shells also address controversy over economic and human rights issues, but told china he wants a deeper economic relationship and stay with us now. after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day with awe,

with blue, with what's making the headlines and what's behind them. the w news africa. they show that the issues in the continent life is slowly getting back to normal. yeah. on the street to give you enough reports on the inside of our cars,

funds is on the ground reporting from across the continent and all the trends doesn't matter to you in 60 minutes on d w o. in the julie right, fascinating world, into uncharted deb, our guides know their way around a strictly scientific trip to some pretty wacky places. curiosity is required to borrow today. on d, w ah, a real natural spectacle in an improved world.

the meeting of the loom whale sharks, the remote island of san antonio. ah, it is a testament to the quality of the waters. one of the many success stories from a bastion of biodiversity say don't starts november 18th on d. w. good travel advice is hard to come by, bud german, chancellor or left shell. it's got more than you could have asked for ahead of what was probably the most controversial trip of his political career. a whirlwind visit to china, the 1st via western leaders. and she ging ping was confirmed as ruler for life. the timing raised eyebrow.
