a green transformation. we know that friends are still relies on nuclear energy, while germany is shutting down their nuclear reactors or, well, when it comes to the european response to the massive american subsidies for the green industries in the u. s. that could, sir, a disadvantage you appear in companies all shall said he is still hopeful that progress can be made in discussions with us while the french president seems to be in favor of for a european response, something like by a european act. some comes after french and german relations have been tested greatly in recent months. you spoke about different positions between the countries . did you get the sense that the 2 countries have though been able to stabilize this relationship at the summer? well, i think it was a good start, i would say again after

a flurry of diplomatic efforts and trouble in the last weeks after some joined papers on different policy issues published now this meeting here that ended up with a joint community. i think that both made clear that they really wants to work together . however, experts also say that for this partnership to be successful again, it needs to be redefined and reinvent it. alexandra phenomena in paris, thanks so much. police in peru have arrested more than 200 protesters after anti government demonstrations flared over the past few days. police at the protesters had entered the grounds of lima university, illegally and accused them of stealing from the campus. lighter police fire tear gas at demonstrators who were calling for the arrested protesters to be released. many in peru are demanding the resignation of interim president, the nobility, and the release of imprison x president,

treated inside. they cannot talk to them because apparently phones have been taken away. and so they're waiting with food and are with other things that are their beloved ones might need. this is one situation here in lima, but also there is a and you call for a fresh protests on tuesday national protests. and it looks like that these will be very big because after what happened yesterday at the university, people are really angry. they don't understand how on proport white, why the a proportion of police brutality is a so different. and as so hard, i mean they're now a dozens of death already. it throughout the country and connection to clashes with the police and also and connection to the blockage of roads and attentions are really rising high for out the country. if just heard my true peaches also closed because of a protest waves. and this property is not going to stop soon. the government is called now for a political dialogue between the different parties. if that happens,
