in europe, but i think we should not be too negative when it comes to that was on the one hand, i think we should well come at the united states now have embraced the energy transition building and also secondly, in europe we do have the economic prerequisites in order to master the transition of the industry, the commission has presented calculation as on that the facilities that we have created during the cover to pandemic has an amount of 20250000000000 euros for the de carbon as ation of the european industry and only a small chair of it has been spent so far. the power you initiative comes with another 20000000000 in terms of funds and a 3 digit just amount going into the billions is also available with our

e u programs. we foster public and private innovations in climate technologies. and here we have a you fund of 26000000 euros, and another 4 to 2000000 euros for research supporting the green deal. first and foremost, it will be european research facilities benefiting from that. and then there is the cohesion fund and from the european emission trading. there were also a substantial funds available. if we put all that next to the only subsidies of $340.00 a $1000000000.00 of the united states, then it is clear that we have no reason to hide with an unusual or we will take a very close look at this. and we're our scheme still leave gaps and then we will find a way to close them. first of all, we need a careful analysis. as the commission has promised to deliver. and unhindered

competition against the united states would certainly be the wrong path. in the dragon bottom, obviously in the past few weeks, i've spoken to many companies in demos and when i traveled around germany to run land flood zone hassey, they're a german american company. have started a semiconductor, a factory that we can use for renewable energy, electron mobility, and communication technologies. this investment is only one amongst many international major investments in the semiconductor industry in germany and europe in saxony and saxony. analogy, for example, many companies are about to open their doors and the question of the investor is it

not, is not 1st and foremost were the next big public fund can be found. it is their will to simplify our laws to be faster in our funding decisions and to use our tools in a flexible manner. and this is precisely what the commission proposes in it's memorandum for the european council meeting. and i am very grateful for that all by bit, but through the, in order to strengthen europe in global competition, competition, we have to be serious about the flexibility zation of the european state. a law, especially in the sector is that our new did for the transformation. and secondly, our european production capacities will be used for progressive clean technologies in the fields of climate, construction and transport. this is the only way to handle the increasing demand

already last fall, the federal government has stood up for a clean tech initiative that is subsidizes these technologies. the short term. and it is very good that this already house become one of the central aims of the commission. and thirdly, we still believe in free and fair trade because i heard a good cross from a, in a situation of globalization, a national way and pen not work. we need to open market some to global change based on high social and economic standards. the free trade agreement with the mercosur estates has already been mentioned. and beyond that, it is important to me to negotiate to free trade agreements with canada and north korea and singapore. the

thing when the old one of these eas, why the agreements with new zealand and chile are about to enter into force and new ones. for example, with indonesia will be advanced and of course we want to strengthen the economic relations with the united states. are ongoing discussions on the inflation reduction act are a very good basis for that. at least if the united states refrain from rules that put a disadvantage on european accompanies compared to canadian and mexican ones. this is what we are consulting about with our american friends in a very calm and trustful manner. and that brings me full circle to what i've said in the beginning, how we work with our partners, how we align ourselves. the past 12 months have demonstrated that it's not fast and loud. it demands that when. but the careful well thought decisions.

donald vincent wadley worked towards stat that by the way, in my opinion is germany's role in europe. this is about leading by bringing us together by working towards solutions together with others. and this will be and is the campus for this government in european and foreign policy. and this is the campus that will guide me to the european council summit in brussels tomorrow. thank you very much. and lee have been listening to all of slides. the german chancellor who was addressing the german parliament using his speech to festival address the earthquake disaster and turkey and syria. he spoke about the war in ukraine and

germany's continued support for ukraine. and he also spoke at length about migration issues and increasing e. you competitiveness and he made a point of defending cathel well force out decision making and germany leading in that way. and full analysis of all of that. i believe that we can bring in now d, w chief, political correspondent, nina hasa, who is at the gym parliament. nina, tell us what stood out for you and we'll f shows the speech well, yeah, it was essentially the topics that we already addressed before he started speaking . so he spoke about the topics that are going to dominate her, the you council summits in brussels tomorrow and friday. of course ukraine really big topic and what stood up for me there was that he said there's some, it is going to be used to further re align our common position. so there is

a certain feeling here that not everybody is trying, is acting as fast as the ukraine needs to provide help to provide weapons, et cetera. so this is definitely something where there is a lot of em, well, essentially need for debate behind the scenes as well. then you talked about migration at length and this was very much also addressed to the german audience to german voters. because and i, i thought word stood out, was how he said am, if we do all these things that we are trying to do right now. and he highlighted what all the plans were. and then we will manage to keep hop m all the essentially the good will in the german population, the belief that freed freedom of movement within the european union is good. but also that we are a welcoming country. and also that we have to recognize that we do need skilled workers from abroad. so again, a slight hint that that not everybody agrees with him and that m, many municipalities have been complaining for weeks and months now that they're

simply not getting enough money to essentially house all the people who are coming to germany and who are looking for work so then the 3rd topic, competitiveness on the european level, he m, spelled out. again what he thinks the europe's reaction should be. and again, a very typical short sentence was we do need a careful analysis. of course the u. s. a was referring to the inflation reduction act, that big m. subsidies package are worth hundreds of billions of dollars. where the european come can you say that they might suffer disadvantages, but he said before we essentially provoke the restaurants, we do need to find common ground. there and just coming back to the, his focus on ukraine, he made a point of saying you, germany and germany support for ukraine will continue yet is the fact that german public opinion is still divided, especially on these tank deliveries to ukraine. do you think that he was able to

reassure people by the tone that he struck well, he's being criticized from all sides and usually for a politician that's not the worst thing. if you're being criticized by everybody, that means that you are really trying to forge compromises him and this is something many people are saying will have charge is now being a war monger because he's the one who's sending all those am heavy tanks to ukraine . other countries aren't apart from the u. s. and sorry, the u. k. m, who so far have made specific pledges and but also other people are saying he's being too slow. so he is trying to essentially just explain this narrative that he thinks he has to weigh up all the advantages and disadvantages. but above all, i think all of shawn's also always talks to other countries around the world. when he talks about ukraine, he talks to countries like brazil, like are also south africa like india,

many countries that are not as clearly em outspoken lee m behind support for ukraine as countries in europe are. and he always addresses those countries and reiterates why he thinks it has to be made clear that russia is the aggressor and that ukraine is having to react. and that, that is why the western world needs to o help ukraine so that russia doesn't get this message that it's okay to invade another country. he did make very clear though, didn't he, that nato is not in this war with ukraine. that was a point that he really focused on, wasn't it? that is exactly what i'm trying to say that all of. so it has these, the g 20 countries in mind, if you will. he always talks about how these countries are going to become really important. geopolitical plays in the near future, and many of those are not m as explicitly supporting ukraine,

as all of choice wants that to happen. so he is trying to make it clear at all these principles you keep hearing them from him over and over again. one, russia invaded ukraine, you train didn't start to, we need to support you train for as long as it takes because we can't tolerate a violation of international law like that. and 3, we have to do that all together and we have to react. exactly. and it's not nature that's waging a war against russia. russia is waging a war against ukraine. nina, thanks so much for that analysis that stayed only as chief political correspondent, nina houser. ok. we're going to go back to our top story now and more than 11000 people are now known to have been killed in the earthquakes that struck turkey and syria. the death toll is expected to rise as more victims are found in remote areas. the 1st quake struck near the turkish city of gassy,

untapped destruction stretches along turkeys, southern border and parts of northern syria. international rescue crews are beginning to arrive now in the quake zone and victims are still being pulled alive from the rubble. but that is becoming a seldom occurrence. increasingly, in the early hours of wednesday morning rescue workers in the turkish city of other mon found hope. under the rubble they had heard voices, voice, robert audrey falcon, wilson, oliver bobby would run from um york. miss you who told him a little girl with marcella 03 year old muhammad and later his mother fatma what pulled to safety another toward law was rescued and got him

on marsh a city close to the earthquakes api santo out if i had been under the debris for 43 hours to submit to audi, carmen ball i because i got a project with booster. he was taken to a hospital and along with his father who was rescued earlier. some of the wounded survivors from a round turkey had been flown to his thorn bull for medical help. the countless others of field trapped under the debris rescue workers continued to dig and shout out through the biting cold. if only in the hope of saving one more life and perhaps another and another he w correspondent jojo han is an adina turkey which is in the earthquake zone. you dear, can you tell us what you're seeing there where you are?

well, this is one of several residential buildings here in the city central office, which have been hand to rubble. this one i'm being told had 28 apartments. no one was immediately able to tell me how many people were inside the building when the quakes shrunk, or how many have been killed. but many, many people from this building are still missing, and that is why the rest your workers over there off calling for silence every other minutes. because they seem to have had some something, maybe somebody screaming for help and then they would stop working and then continued again. and what you can maybe also see are the many people here waiting because they say they think a relative, a family member or friend a loved one might still be trapped under the rubble. a one man just told me that

his uncle was inside the building when the brakes quake struck. and he has not heard from him. he has been trying to reach him over the phone and the phone call is actually going through its ringing. but there is no answer. another woman here told me that she is about to give up hope how relative will ever be found alive. and this is of course, to bits. a reality here on the ground is day 3. after the quakes truck, it's very cold, with temperatures below 0 at night, and the chances of finding people alive for finding life under the huge piles of rubble, all dwindling. what you can also see is that the surrounding buildings. they're still standing, but they do have correct in the walls and nobody is staying there right now. the residents have moved either to 10, which have been set out by the local. there's also management authority, or they tell me they're saying they're sleeping in their cause. everybody here is

scared back, scared to go back their homes right now because there are still tremors. are still author shops. it's not over yet. what we can see behind you is devastating enough, quite frankly. but of course, this is, this is over a huge area, isn't it? can you give us a sense of the scale of the impact of this quake across turkey? well, yes, this is really humanitarian crisis on a massive scale. more than 13000000 people across the region have been affected in 10 out of turkeys, 81 provinces. this is an area larger than mainland portugal. just to give you an example here and looking at the death toll which continues to rise and the number of people who have been injured at this is certainly one of the largest disaster modern turkey has ever seen. now the authorities say they have dispatched more than

60000 rescue workers to the area. there is a lot of a now coming in from abroad. you know, dozens of countries have sledge help, but the rescue workers are pacing here is overwhelming. i don't know is actually one of the areas that has not been affected by the place as significantly as areas towards the syrian border. contra mirage. hot. hi god. be and we've heard from people that who say they have received no help at all or how came way too late areas without electricity. now gas, water, there is nothing. and many people say they feel abandoned. they feel a certain amount of anger towards the state authorities. and many of take into social media as well, with desperate please for help they are sharing the addresses of people were still buried under the rubble across the region. so this really is

a catastrophe and it's a fact for being cells across the country. turkey right now, really is a nation in pain and in morning. yeah, just very quickly. there are reports of growing anger at the slow speed of the turkish governments response. is that fair? well, that all reports, this is what i, i hear from people over here. people are also angry. you know, the reason for why these buildings have just collapse so easily. they say they have been poorly constructed, building sender or safety standards have not been implemented and they are pointing fingers at the government, who in the end is responsible for how buildings are being constructed. and for the rules, a president ed one i should mention has visited the area today. he was in carmen marashi as he has admitted that there has been a relatively so response in the 1st days. but he tried to make sure to give the

impression that the situation here is under control. so that is probably an add on right now. you will have to leave it that, but thanks so much for that. as d, w d, in, in turkey, a rescue efforts in neighboring syria are being complicated by the effects of that countries 12 years civil war. the affected area and syria is divided between government control territory and a rebel held on play when millions, well ready relying on humanitarian aid, damascus is demanding that international sanctions be dropped. now saying that the hindering relief efforts to w news has this exclusive report. ah saw b, hussein can barely take his eyes off the rubble. this mound of concrete was his brother's home. he managed to find him in the aftermath of the earthquake, but couldn't get him out. love you all wheel nogood. my brother and his young son were under the bravo man, sorry ma'am. i couldn't reach them. young loca,

didn't know what to do. oh no. we had support yesterday. maybe we could save them. walk on, i could see them on the block was running down my brother's nose with his son in his arms. we rescued his daughter, but after that it was dark. like so many here saw b is left wondering water. jan doris in rebel held north western syria is one of the washed hick, towns, damage, roads have hampered, rescue and recovery efforts, making it challenging to bring in heavy machinery. mazata zel lombardo, madam, no, we haven't slept since yesterday that we that you people here working with primitive tools, there's no heavy equipment or lim bought. and the civil defense teams are working on the many families earned the bubble were doing what we can on mr. hollow and we appeal to people and he to help others. luckily, i'm a natural and it's adena. locals. estimate 60 percent of the tone has been

destroyed. the death toll rises every day. attention now times to helping the homeless. i did not do the job on a situation is very bad. we need 10 food want on dr. b flat for just a closer look at us. we have no shame on selective tar barney. this unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. complicated, farther by serious 12 year civil war, western countries reluctant to sent help to the regime in damascus. but serious pariah government says aid delivered over the border. is a violation of its sovereignty. without the control of the government, without permission of the government without approval from the government. this is violation. very simple to the un has called on the international community to put holla, ticks aside. piece building support, lose goodwill on all sides are. but you know what? you're dealing here with a catastrophe. on top of

a humanitarian crisis said already existed, i'm back in syria. cheers erupt. it is rescue as managed to pluck a whole family from a collapse building. father. oh, daughter and son. something to lift the spirits in dark days. ukrainian at president vladimir zalinski has arrived in britain. this is his 2nd trip abroad since russia launched its invasion of ukraine nearly a year ago. zalinski will be meeting with prime minister richie su, not will address parliament shortly. and we'll meet with you. k military chiefs will also be received by can charles buckingham palace. b u. k is one of the biggest military backers of ukraine and has sent the country weapons and equipment worth more than $2500000000.00. and more on this we can bring indeed,

the corresponding burg masses in london berg. this is only the 2nd trip. the president zalinski has made outside of ukraine in the past years. how significant is president lensky had addressed the yukon harlem and before, but that was only via video link. so it's obviously very, very risky for him to leave the ukraine and to travel aboard. and that makes this visit very significant. he needs to sure of the support of his european neighbors, and the u. k. is one of the most important partners of the ukraine in order to you . well, in order to have the help also for years to come to the fact that even though it is so dangerous for him for his own personal life and his health to go to visit the u . k. and it's expected that he would also visit brussels, makes it very, very important meeting a very important day here in london. and what concrete results can we expect from

zelinski talks with the british prime minister? well, on one hand, he will be thanking the u. k. government for their support so far, but i'd say it's a, it's not a, it's not a secret that the ukrainian government would like to see more support. so they have been asking, for example, full fighter jets. but it's thought that the worse is very worried about that worried about a possible escalation of the war. so far they, the u. k and other partners have said yes to more military battle tanks, but not yet to fighter jets. and this is something that president zalinski might be raising here today with his counterpart or she soon, arg the u. k. prime minister. yeah, this is the actually coincides with an announcement, doesn't it by the british prime minister that britain will train ukrainian pilots on nato standard fighter jets. and i believe that the british defense minister has

said that the, that the stance of not sending fighter jets could change so. so what direction could this be going in? it's interesting if you look at the wording of the statement or downing street has released. so it said that are the u. k. offers to provide ukraine with longer range capabilities to relieve pressures on the front line. so this could be possibly and her printed as a shift in thinking of the west. so only a few days ago, the defense minister had said that fighter jets would not be a magic wand. so nothing has be con has been confirmed, but the u. k is bolstering up the training of ukrainian soldiers. so they do include are the training of, of pilots and also marines, the euchre saying that they are training $20000.00 ukrainian soldiers this year. so amongst them i'll fight a j pilots. we will have to watch this space and see if the u. k. might be amongst

a fast to actually deliver those fighter jets, but we don't have any confirmation of this as yet. all right, d w, corresponded berg at martin london. thanks so much for that. and without you are up to date coming up. next is eco, africa. our environment show and remember you can get all other news on our website . that's d, w dot com on our youtube channel and on social's, twitter and instagram the handle you need that is d. w. thanks so much for watching . ah, with
