likes relationship with animals, global i think i will live long enough to witness the factory farming the great debate this week on dw or fish ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. china has a new 2nd increment, the national people's congress approve li chung as premier. he was nominated by teaching ping and is a staunch ally on the president. also coming up, japan marks the anniversary of the fukushima disaster the nuclear meltdown

triggered by the deadly earthquake. and soon army is still making waves with china's government on to japanese fishermen denouncing plans to release radioactive water into the sea. and the popular pbc sports presented tweets his way into the penalty box, the former football, comparing the u. k. migration policies to those of germany and the night incentives . ah, monica jones, welcome to the program. in china, lee chung has been appointed as premier, the nation's 2nd highest post. it follows his nomination by president gigi ping. lee is now tasked with running the government and managing the economy. his new role was confirmed during the annual parliamentary session. it's the 1st time the rubber stamp body has met without any corona virus restrictions in 3 years after

being scaled back during the pandemic. earlier i talked to andrew small as senior fellow at the german marshall fund. he told us more about china's newly appointed premier lee chung. as you suggested in your introduction, his most important qualification is his loyalty. he's one of a number of officials of the top of the party now who primarily other roles to their personal relationships with seating thing at different stages of his career at lee chung, had a role in a job that's often called his chief of staff, bucking back and jeered young am off to that point. he was all equal helicopters into a number of other roles and primarily around that cluster of provinces on china's coasts, am in john sou, joe young, and then laterally as party certainty of shanghai. he hasn't held positions in

beijing in the central lead, a ship running the country before. and he seems relatively business friendly, relatively reform minded. but the most important thing is he's demonstrated his loyalty. he's not a fake of, it's come from, for instance, another faction. he's not someone who has really independent standing, his standing comes from his thighs. does she read it? just mentioned reforms are over the past few years president, she has been shifting the power of the premier to partly institutions. will the premier role that lee is now going to fil, allow him to make any meaningful reforms. but the other thing about li chung is, is not just who he is, but who the it isn't leeker chung leeker chung had a very specific and distinct role as premier because he was genuinely arrival to she didn't think he's the man who could have had at she's job and so although power was taken away from the state and continues to be taken away from the state to the party, it was also an important degree to which leeker chung was sidelined by houston ping

. and he was, in a sense, the head, the remaining head of the youth leak faction. emily chunk doesn't have that. and the question in this is whether he will be trusted somewhat more by she didn't ping to actually do the job of running the economy in the last few years. she didn't ping, it wasn't just the, the role of the party that at an increase he, parson, me had been making most of these decisions. the question is whether the town might at least be given a bit more space to do some of these things himself. right? and it, do you think that early chunks appointment is going to attract or deter, invest as primary foreign invest a short answer please? i don't think there's gonna be a huge difference. frankly, i think this is still seen as, as huge in pings government. i don't think lee chung is seen as a kind of independent figure in this. and so i think it's not going to make a significant difference even though they lost international businesses like him

get on with him relatively well. i think the question said at issue now m for the chinese economy are all a far greater than anything that lead john is going to decide about, okay, andrew small invalid. thank you so much for your time and for sharing your insights . thank you. in japan, a nation wide minute of silence marked the 12th anniversary of the deadly earthquake. and so no army that triggered a nuclear meltdown. it was one of the worst natural disasters in the nation's history. over 20000 people died or went missing, and higher towns were devastated by giant waves, and many nuclear plants were shut down around the country. but aside from remembrance, the day was also marked by protests. japan will begin releasing waste water from the damaged fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, raising fears in japan and neighboring countries of long term health effects and damage to commercial fishing. how will pacific ocean fish be affected by

waste water from fukushima, nuclear plant? more than a 1000000 tons of it is set to be released into the ocean. the japanese government says it poses no risk, but local fishermen are concerned while more than one little curve or young, we're worried that the reputation of our pro useful suffering even more damage. still the government has decided to allow the water release. we really cannot accept this why we feel so helpless. ever since this an army in 2011 water has been used to cool the 3 nuclear reactors, devastated by meltdowns. this produces around a 100000 liters of waste water every day. the energy foam tapco runs the water through a treatment system, but it still contains tritium, a radioactive element, which in large quantities can cause cancer. but tapco says the low levels of

tritium mean, it's not much different to see water and has run test to show that fish can live in it. still many a concerned about the long term effects. if you had just something with a beta emitter, like a tuna, or an oyster that has radionuclides in your internal cells, have no protection whatsoever. you don't see these right away. um, it takes years, sometimes decades for these numbers to show up other expense say the tritium is so diluted that it's not a problem. so you got about the same amount in the fish as in the water. and that means that radioactive dose is a quite low. and the other factor about tritium is that is called very weak radioactive emission. but the fukushima plans aren't popular in the wider region, either china, south korea, and the pacific islands of all called for a rethink. despite the opposition, japan says the release will begin in the coming months and continue for the next 30 to years. let's take
