this is a pretty standard set piece of a speech that the chancellor of germany addresses parliament just before a key you summer did did, shall say anything that we really haven't heard before or anything new coming out today. i believe it is something where you essentially get it in a nutshell from himself. i mean it all the projects that he described a very much something that we have heard of before. but he highlighted, for example, that the climate club that didn't get much media coverage, for example, that he's been pushing for for several months now. that that has now been agreed by the g 7. and it's these instruments in it. it's typical or left shot style. he works on something behind the scenes. these things don't necessarily get much coverage, but he then can say that he did get things done. the same goes for the ellen g terminals. he said himself in his speech that and nobody expected germany to be able to build such a massive infrastructure project within

a couple of months. germany is known to be slow when it comes to these big infrastructure projects. but then we'll have shows that i was convinced back in the summer that we would see the 1st ship arriving at a port delivering liquefied natural gas and see what's happening. we're going to be greeting the 1st ship this saturday. so it's very much a, an opportunity where you get all our shows and a summary of the projects that he's been working on and to get it from himself in a nutshell. but no, there were no big new announcements. nina, thank you so much. our chief political correspondent near the hot sketch up on some of the stories making headlines around the world today. peruse armed forces are ramping up security of t infrastructure as nationwide. protests continue following the ouster of former president edward castillo garcia has been denied bill as authorities bill to rebellion case against it's fear. the court susan could further inflame violent

public awareness. over all the trend is concerning. and according to the r o c, the number of people in humanitarian need has nearly quadrupled in the last decade . d w's. nina teacher has been studying the report. well, this is the list of countries that nobody wants to be on in 2020, to record level. so she monetary a need were recorded across the globe. and the vast majority of that in 20 countries topping the list. this year is somalia, the countries currently suffering a severe fear crisis caused by decades of conflict and a reco drought. fueled by climate change. almost half the country's population is a need of humanitarian aid, and people are stopping every day. second on the list. if sophia, where there is a similar food catastrophe unfolding the humanitarian response to it has been undermined by multiple conflicts such as the war and the t cry region. some $20000000.00 people are thought to be experiencing feet insecurity right now. and

in 3rd place, afghanistan, they, i a see says that 97 percent of the population is at risk of poverty. since the international community cut a financial aid after the taliban took over. now these 3 countries have features featured on the watch list before. and there's also a new entry and the top 10 that's ukraine and 10th place. russia's war there has caused the largest displacement in decades, leaving more than 17000000 ukrainians in need of essential services. and at risk of illness. with food and fuel prices surging around the world. since russia's invasion, this is the war that's making all other humanitarian crisis even worse. well, joining us now to talk more about this report is maricia. so passionate, she is the r r. c county director for ukraine. russia, ukraine has made it into the top 10 on i. r c's, emergency, watch list,

watch list. what are your concerns, your main concerns about your credit? and yes, thank you very much. if this is the 1st time that ukraine has appeared in the top 10 countries on the, on the i r c, emergency watch list. i am and some figures that i wanted to share with you, which are quite staggering, almost 18000000 people are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance in ukraine. right now. we have more than 6500000 people who are internally displaced within the country. almost $17000.00 civilian casualties have been confirmed, although we do think that the actual figure will be much higher than that. more than 700 health facilities have either been damaged or destroyed. and more recently, the attack from the power grid and power infrastructure means that millions of people across the country are without power, heating, water, and electricity. and this is especially alarming now,

as we've reached winter outside it's, it's minus a minus 5 degrees today. and we're expecting the temperatures to drop to minus 20 in some parts of the country. right. and one of our biggest concerns among the humanitarian community is that prolonged and widespread power cuts may actually spark new large scale displacements, as people are forced to make extremely difficult decisions, whether to flee their homes in search of warmth and safety. be that in another part of ukraine or across the border, and potentially sparking an even greater humanitarian crisis. right, it is a harrowing situation. there are, as you just described, but aside from documenting emergencies, as you've just described, your organization also provides assistance. what is, what i or see your desertion doing to help a new credit i thank you very much for that very important question. we are here to

help people in need. that's what we do. and, and here without teams and with our local partners, it's what we're trying to do on the ground every single day. we're focusing our response in the east and southeast parts of the country, which are we have locations that are experiencing shell on a daily basis. where distributing cash to vulnerable households who have no other source of income. so that they can buy the items that they most desperately need. well, we're conducting a variety of activities to help protect women and children who are and often the most vulnerable in a conflict. and where are assisting health facilities with the provision of medical items and equipment and specifically related to winter. our teams are working tirelessly to distribute as quickly as possible, blankets sleeping bags, power banks, winter clothing, heaters, as well as building materials to enable people to conduct sort of light repairs on their homes. that may have been damaged in shilling or missile attacks in order to

keep out this bitterly cold weather. maricia. thank you very much. that was my research to push nick or c country director for you credit ah. at the world cup and cutter argentina had convincingly beaten croatia, 3 nell and the 1st of the semi final clashes croatia had upset brazil in the last round. and we're hoping to continue their improbable run. but leonor messy and his teammates were too much for them to handle this semi final was bound to be the last shot at world cup glory, 3, a legendary player, either argentine, as we know, messy or co aces, luca mudrinich despite croatia controlling much of the ball early on, argentina were the 1st to break through with william alvarez's bullish run, forwarded by a clear foul with the whole world watching. but his keeper, too nervous to look. leo messy stepped up and ripped home the penalty. one mill

argentina with 34 minutes play and just 5 minutes later alvarez was again crouching through a sea of legs. this time no one dared to take him down to nil. late in the 2nd half, it was messy lighting up the pitch. dancing threw crashes defense to lay the ball off to alvarez and finish things off at 3 mill. messy has again carried his country to a world cup final this time against either france or morocco. meanwhile, muddrick knows he'll never lift the cup. more last night's game. i'm joined now by our sports, corresponded in dough hot. daniel barcelona, daniel argentina put on a very convincing performance, sir, against a tough croatia side last night. what would you say was the key to argentina success in one word, leonor massey. of course,

there is a reason why he is considered to be one of the greatest players of all time. and yesterday he really made an important statement. of course he's so crucial to this argentine aside, he really inspired and masterminded their victory over croatia. we saw he scored the pound, he shot the 1st goal that made him argentina's all time leading goal score. also setting up go. so his importance for this team is just absolutely unbelievable. now, croatia, of course, they really had no answer for him. their defenders couldn't even get close to him. so there really is a lot of believe in this argentine aside, especially now that they will really do anything they can to let their liter message get his hands on the world cut covey. it's the one child that's eluted him his entire career. and if he were to win the world cup, it would probably put an end to all the debates as to who is the best player of all time. okay, in the other semi final match, raining champs,

france taken up starts morocco to night, which we expect. well, this is a david verses goliath clash. of course, france the favorites coming into this mat. probably even for the tournament, they are the reigning world cup champions. they're looking to defend that title. if they were to defend the title, it would be pretty amazing that hasn't been done in 60 years, and they really do have the depth and the quality in their team. to do that, of course, morocco is not going to be an easy game. they are the under dogs of course, but they're very difficult side to play against. they haven't conceded a goal from opposition in this tournament. they're undefeated, and they're riding that way. they've eliminated span, they've eliminated portugal, and most importantly, they have the support of so many fans here. it will almost feel like a home game for them. so it will definitely be an interesting match tonight, riding away. indeed, america has gotten tremendous support,

not just from their own plans, but from across the arab and muslim world. that must be inspiring for them. i mean, it's absolutely amazing moroccans, of course, they love football. this is huge for american football. morocco is the 1st african side to ever make it into the semi finals of the world cut. but rock was a special team because they are an african country, but also an arab country. so they really have the support of so many people they represent and they're playing for over a 1000000000 people right now. in doha, the atmosphere is absolutely mine going. there are thousands of fans before the last game. the entire city of doha shut down, because not only are there fans already here, but every time they play more fans come in. people just want to be around the stadium. speaking of the stadium, inside the stadium, it's deafening when they play, it gives you chills. so tonight the atmosphere will be unbelievable. and if they

win, the ill be amazing to hear. thank you so much. our sports correspond done. barcelona . endo hall. you are watching d. w. news coming to live from berlin up next. we've got business for you. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. ah ah, as you can use just a thought they were great you know

mid level and share my welcome to my podcast, love matter by and by celebrities influences and experts to talk about all plain love from day to day. nothing less because all these things and more and then you'll see the plot can make sure to tune and wherever you get your path and join the conversation because you know it love manner. mm. the fantasy adventures of a maya princess from latin america. i romantic drama at a black queen's court, or how the earth was created, told from a nigerian perspective, we streaming platforms were able to view the world from many different perspectives . but is there more to it than entertainment, or the streaming really promote diversity? that's our topic today on shift ah,

diversity, a quality and include devotee have become a real buzzwords. but why are they so important in movie in series? well, because certain groups have always been ignored in film production. one example is women. we make up half the world's population in movies. however, men that usually get a lot more roles. let's take a look at last year's most successful films. 85 percent had more men than women acting in them. it's a man's world. and what about people with disabilities, or people with different cultural backgrounds, or the l g, b, t, q plus community. the big streaming providers have a more diverse selection. on netflix for instance, there are more women in lead roles than men. l g b t q plus topics like in the series, sex education have proved successful and there's a higher representation of minorities to what streaming has done is really break

down barriers. so i can import content that speaks to my experience, or that i didn't even know spoke to my experience, but i can get exposure to so much more even beyond my local market. and so that is really powerful. it's extremely important that viewers can identify with their heroes on screen. and let's be honest. so far, most series have been made for people like me, why people, for filmmakers around the world at streaming also opens up new possibilities. we can no longer be limited by the gatekeepers, but we are not empowered with technology to express ourselves in that very beauty. i wonder that is all unix africa. it's pretty nice to hear that this is now possible. we met up with a couple of filmmakers from nigeria and they talk to us about what motivates them. my person, i was just to be able to portray people look like me. i sound like i can relate to me in my struggles and i can learn more about my ancestors about apology,

etc. i think that's priceless. nicea oguio belongs to a new generation of nigerian filmmakers, a famous afro jazz singer and songwriter. she also co founded creal animation studios based in lay gus. one of her 1st films, the satchel, tells the mythological story of 2 brothers, oh battler, and of due to walk. and the creation of earth and human kind. missy help record the singing parts herself. producer ferdinand id, me fi also favors authentic content in a modern package. apart from games, the team in lake us also develops animation movies to show a more realistic perspective of africa. i think it's very important for our because to tell our stories because i want to know our story. we're not told by all the working for us. right now we have, we have the content,

or we have the capacity for this new did original story tell us, want to approach our stories from a sense of fidelity that he's on the separate. nobody deserves onto or pulled out africa. well, hello to tell us carries the way we want them to focus on these stories when told on screen. also present readers with new role models to identify what we all know that sometimes being what you see is what you need. you can so we need to have more content out there that depicts africans as a people i know have the shape mentality as will self rise. buddha confidence and then buddha ability to believe that we are capable of doing as much as anybody else . the right role models can clearly boost your self confidence, who would have thought that streaming would be the platform to deliver that? i personally enjoy discovering and learning about other cultures. my and the 3 is a fun animation which features indigenous cultures from meso america. let's check

it out. of the netflix. many serious maya and the 3 is an animated fantasy adventure inspired by meso american for so pre colonial mythology. the series was created by hawk, a gutierrez, who is also the director and co author in the series. he creatively and authentically integrates mythology from the indigenous groups of america. actress. so it's al danya, who lent her voice to the heroine. maia is delighted by the project i get to share what i most excited about, which is my heritage. i love, i love where i'm from. i love who i am and she and there's so much about latin x culture that we don't know. and these are civilizations that are thousands of years . so you know, asked ag culture in my, in culture, indian culture, the arrow actually i are our acts of the caribbean kish these are,

these are civilizations that basically define a peanuts nice. it's pretty cool to see just how pumps she is. stories are of course easier to relate to when they line up with personal experience, but simply putting together a more diverse cast is not all there is to it. whether it's the director or camera operator, it's important that the whole team is truly, thus one of the main things we're seeing really in our data is presence is not enough. so just putting some visibility on the screen is a start. oh, what really keep connect? audience is that often to city. and so it takes the talent on screen and, and hide the screen or behind the scenes to make that happen. and it really is, you know, especially in a refreshing us, is it is critical for films to be truly diverse. the team behind the scenes must be divers, 2 more diverse screen plays a just the beginning take gender diversity. studies show that the more women direct

films write screenplays and operate cameras more likely it is for women to play important roles on screen. the same is true for ethnic, religious, or sexual and gender minorities. netflix is trying to make its programs more diverse. more than half of the films and series available on netflix in 201819 featured women in lead roles. compared to the highest grossing cinema movies over the same period, that's an increase of 10 percent for netflix to still has a long way to go. like with the representation of indigenous people or ethnic minorities from latin america or the middle east. one of the populations that we're focusing more on is middle eastern or african people here in the us. and, you know, are they always present in, you know, as a terrorist or religious extremists, you know, the fact that streaming. busy that content around the world now is the content that

really connect me. it shows me versions of myself and who i can be and things like that. and so i think that is one of the most powerful opportunities for streaming. why it's been so popular. and that's also why none of the streaming giant can do without a diverse film offering, even at the more conservative disney group to which disney plants also belongs to legendary mouse sean. in rainbow colors. whether in the workforce or in the staffing in the content or in the production, amazon prime and co are becoming more and more diverse. and the viewers appreciate that to a study showed that the l g b t q plus community believes that streaming platforms offer the most inclusive content that they can identify with. but let's not kid ourselves. big streaming platforms are not interested in making the world a better place. they are interested in money money that they can make by producing new content for new markets. of course,

for netflix that's necessary. it has recently seen subscriptions go down for the 1st time in its history. producer moses capital pay has no illusions about the motivations of streaming platforms. we both recognize that that the. busy the streaming platforms are businesses and they're not gonna go on to charitable or csr . a mission. they had to also make money. we was under sun meet the streamers midway, where we want to be authentic to our stories. what we want to do, stories that are commercially viable to get new stories and content, the streaming platforms invest locally. that's true for all 3 big player in africa . netflix, the south african platform show max and amazon prime video. they provide storytelling workshops or technical support. so max producers shows like the comedy series garner ger laugh, filled in lagos, and aqua, and,

and specifically at the west african market. and in early 2022 amazon prime video setup partnerships with nigerian film production companies whose films will be included other streaming platform soon. another bruce for natalie wood or more than several 1000 firms were produced in 2021 alone. the ability to tell our stories, who a global audience is a big thing, the, the fact that our content creators can also get what ramirez it does. there are concerns whether the give as much as or the kinds of what's on the wall. what the truth is, the level of composition is better than what was there before. the one that we have another avenue to put our content out. and i think that that has been really, really good for the streaming platforms. these deals need to be profitable. it's not just the content, it's also advertising revenues in the advertising industry,

demand for media content has risen sharply says charlene polite currently from the international marketing company. neil sir, what our research has shown globally is, marketers are, it's highly, you know, we want to place our advertisements, our brand messages in content that is inclusive. so not only are we transformers in our own marketing efforts, we're also trying to find content that is in connecting with diverse audiences. and auditors more broadly represent in a positive way. because as the content once a carrier. ringback message breaking down barriers both cultural and to do with gender inequalities is something we also believe in, at deutsch avella, as well as human rights and freedom world, had the game at freedom isn't free shows what? living in a repressive state is like a few weeks ago. we presented this game on our show and ask for your feedback. we're also giving away an iphone $11.00 to $1.00 of the participants, as promised. we're proud and announced that the winner is alexandra me,
