it was made intense too for sure. and then all of these proceedings had ended. i had very high note of his orders. i am good. they say that his residence in the hall has been ransacked by the police officers warrant. ringback so clearly emotions run high between the authorities. i'm wrong supporters. why large numbers across? so just repeating iran con has appearing code, albeit briefly as you say, this has taken so many twists and turns, particularly when we look at what's happened today. how do you think this case is going to end for iran? calm? you know, that hasn't done a $1000000.00 question. no one retails every day grants, new volume events. we have the entire day bang out differently. it takes a john, one way or the other. every few minutes, one cannot really say, but what is very,

very evident is you stand off, mean the authorities, the government in wrong hon and his supporters. we have seen such operations being conducted is holding round, simon to know and weapons have only been recovered. need you see a fresh volley of cases coming this way? why do you think this could all end up in a huge political crisis in pakistan? i think it is, you know, we are suffering from it. you can only crisis couple with the impact that economic crisis is crisis at the very start of what we see next week. on the amazon, we're really right up temperatures. and how to find out how one can only waiting watch the engine, political temperatures impact on i knew she and indeed many thanks to you. journalist years were as curry in karachi there for your insights. will german

chancellor, olaf schultz is in tokyo for a trip aimed at strengthening economic ties with japan. sholtes has been meeting with japanese prime minister for me or kisha. the pair have been discussing ways to strengthen economic security and reduce dependence on chinese raw materials. they've also talked about the war in crime. and d, w. the chief political correspondent, nina has. it is traveling with chancellor schultz, shirley earlier. she explained the economic importance that japan has to germany. well, japan is germany 2nd largest trading partner in asia, and perhaps most importantly, even at both countries, each other is very similar. they say they share values, but they're also, there economies are structurally very similar. and there's a lot of scope for deeper collaboration between the 2, because for long germany neglected japan in favor of china. so today here they both

said again, all of swords and the japanese prime minister that both countries have seen that big dependency on big players like china and russia is dangerous and painful. they said they learned that during the covert, pandemic, and of course, russia's war against ukraine. and so they say diversification is key and they agreed to strengthen economic collaboration. in a you said a china is currently germany's most important trading partner in the region. how much a room from a mover does this all give all off shots? well that's of course a tight rope walk. now both countries are very dependent on china, but at the same time, they're also saying that they need to diversify. they need to reduce their dependencies. and so here today in tokyo, both governments agreed to work together more closely when it comes to sourcing

critical minerals and also supporting efforts to do more research and to give incentives to japanese and german businesses to do mining. but also refining and processing of those minerals so that they can reduce the dependency of china on china. they also say that they don't want decoupling from china and in japan. and the system works that as such that the state and businesses and work together hand in hand, essentially to develop an economic strategy in germany. that's not the case. and all of shaw says that he just hopes that businesses themselves will see that they need to reduce dependencies on china, and that the government a can offer support and incentives for them to actually diversify just quickly. naina, what had sholtes, and you should have to say about ukraine. well, japan was one of the 1st countries to condemn russia's war against ukraine. and it

also adopted on all of their wet, so called western sanctions against russia. and of course, the fear here in japan is that if putin has his way in ukraine, that, that might send a very, very dangerous signal to other autocrats around the world, particularly china, of course. and so they say that this must not happen. geopolitical situations cannot be changed, but falls in the housing in tokyo. thanks nina. i mean that your up to date our documentary series. dock film is up. next st. you are flying rivers formed by hey, waterfalls, me perspiring trees or c. evaporation during forest fires like mine, they'll get the answer and i'll come home.
