the i was a metal cutter. i didn't know. now i know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d w. the . this is the w news line from berlin. us secretary of state anthony blinking is engaging for a crucial talks. blinking is washington's highest level officials to visit china in nearly 5 years as tensions between the 2 powers remain high. also on the program, molly and vote on constitutional changes pledge by the military as

a transition to civilian rule. but critics say they would give too much power to the pressure the and a warm welcome to our viewers around the world. a michael look at us secretary of state antony blinking is in beijing on the highest level diplomatic visit between the 2 countries in nearly 5 years ahead of his trip. blinking said he hopes to ensure that competition doesn't fear into conflict. blinking started to visit with a meeting with the chinese foreign minister, shouldn't gun boats how our powers have said they are interested in stability. in the face of increasing tensions over time, want blinkin has expressed the hope that his visit will open a new era of diplomacy. between the us and china,

earlier i asked for being pressure in beijing if that is likely to happen. but it could be a new era of diplomacy if blinking book be able to yes, stop this negative spiral. this escalation between the 2 of both powers. and i think that's the best we could hold for the state as part of the bi, let's relations is that both sides this trust each other s strong b s. they've never before since the founding of the people's republic of china. and i think blinking has to prevent the worst case scenario. i think that should be the goal. and the good news is that actually both sides seem to make it clear that they um agree, yeah, we have to um, improve the relations and we cannot go on like this. but i think on the other hand, the rhetoric does not keep too much room for improvement, or at least not for diplomatic breaks on the major issues. but i think the biggest success will be to establish all the communication channels that has been closed in the recent months. as you well know, each side has

a list of grievances regarding the other. what issues are they likely to focus on during these talks and where are they most likely to find common ground? to what i would say on the mountain, the non political topics. i mean, for example, of public health when it comes to preventing a future pandemic or um, uh, also global food security. um climate talks, i think on those issues, maybe we could expect some slight progress. the major political issues, for example, um, what the u. s. a q this china, of the human rights violations and since young the pro wrestling stance and also the friendship between the seating ping and flooding it puts in, i mean, on those issues. um, i think both sides can not even really agree on the effects. and this really not really much room for improvement. and from the point of view of the chinese site, they basically to themselves as a victim of a chinese, to help us text things and stay as the washington, as a heglum on who basically wants to contain china's rise. and as you can see,

the perception is really very, very different. and that's a stock discrepancy. i don't think they will find any common ground on those major issues. ok, we only have a half a minute left so i'll be in but the $1000000.00 question, whether a shooting ping will agree to meet blinking. curious about your thoughts on that and what the implications are if the chinese leader chooses not to why just briefly, i would expect he will meet blinking because if you wouldn't, that would be a big diplomatic, a statement. because just on friday he has met with bill gates and if he would not meet the u. s. foreign minister then. yeah, of course it is a slip into the face if you allow me to say so, but we don't know yet. we don't have an official confirmation by the time you type in many, many things is always a sub you in crash for invasion. this will get some more stories making global headlines at this hour. south advocates,

the president's here around the pose that has told russians vladimir putin that the war in ukraine must. and from a poster, it is part of a delegation of african leaders pushing for peace. who met with the russian president in st. petersburg teams when they were in russia after 1st traveling to ukraine for talked with presidents, a lot of mr. lensky on friday. going to this morning, the victims of an attack and a secondary school with nearly 40 people and most of them students were killed near the border with some of the democratic republic of the congo authorities are blending militants linked to the so called islamic state in brazil, an entire town is under water after a deadly cycling tore through the southern state of rio grande disorder. local authorities said the storm killed at least 11 people and more than a dozen or mister. this is really 5 minutes for benjamin netanyahu says he will move ahead with plans through all the countries judicial system. netanyahu said

talks with the opposition to find a compromise, had been wasteful, and he would take practical steps this week to move the process for the plans were put on hold in march after mass protests, people in the western african nation of molly or voting unconstitutional changes it's the 1st poll there since the military seized power 3 years ago. the military lead by criminal. let's see me going over through a democratically elected government seen as tolerant of corruption. the country was also facing a jo, hondas, insurgency, as well as fighting over land between livestock curtains. an interim government was later also topple the military rules, say the constitutional referendum is the 1st step on the path back to civilian rule . this truck has been tiring to inform votes as about the upcoming referendum and encourage them to participate. the new constitution aims

to re establish democracy after 2 years of military rule. it's also meant to completely caught colonial ties with friends and the law because who draft of the document see to help prevent insecurity and corruption that led to the cool is it of course i can use the constitution of our own course that because it's a constitution that was written by molly and was who know the reality of molly evans, who knows the difficulties of my and his so it's not a stranger or an expert who came. we amadi unless we know of problems and we're trying to provide solutions to these problems. and this constitution is the reflection of that reality. a traditional lead us academics opposition proxy members joins the military. dominique, that probably i'm going to send me the draft. the president would get some more power. they'd be able to a point and sack mean the says and dissolve probably. i mean, the only check on the presidents power would be the courts of the draft also

declares molly is sick. he les the that's has and god really just lead us in dislodge the muslim countries and all that a poor nancy, the real problem is that a constitution created by a military government cannot form the foundation for a legit to meet the democratic government in focus that we are right across the roads. we cannot let ourselves be swallowed up by people who only want to impose themselves by armed force and those they took his advises. but one should see what level of understanding some of these people have to do for, for the. so that said jeff, dick, so it's the support is who with that to say they should let go look at our on that they want to transition today or as a whole set. that's what i'll just show. i did tell me what the biggest issue may be that the people of my don't really know what the constitution says. this is a copy of the new my land constitution happens like this happening which campaigns

and also on social media has also been translated into assessing. so people really failed. but many of the people were ready, so it won't go hundreds of billboards like these are the people who are new policy, sean, many people have no idea what they are are it gave me my life. i didn't read the constitution close to the cell from them, but my wish is that through the new constitution, something can be done to help our young people and i see what so many here don't have jobs. you see them riding motorcycles, even when they have diploma, but they need jobs to fill in with the tech support lab that somebody's in the midst of them for my daughter. malia is a proud of it and agree with that 100 percent 90 but

a 100 percent. because rami is getting stronger and the fight continues until the end. long leave i see me going to inside. you will come out. it's not clear how the new constitution will directly impact the economy and security situation. my lease with many malia and beneath any chance of change is better as of this. that's a score. earlier i spoke to general this moment due to the lee in the malia and capital bama, go about to propose changes. this dropped the consultations i use being uh its uh, been love to be loved the based on sending these throughout the constitution. because uh, this is the 3rd time i mean its been rejected. sweet signs by the 3 democrats of government. so he remodeling. see. so 1992 up to now firstly with the braces of on the homework or not what you think i'm leaving with the i fits it and up to right. why i think there was, frankly implemented this need to revise the constitution

a being uh, you know, he all is being enforced by a point. it's not going to be the last time in days. you're the one on what you mean by kind of case up. so which was in 2019 but this also must be implemented because it was a face to face revolution lead by it's better, it's important to mention by an email, international call, or linda resolutions. it gave us a decent position on the implementation by the extra government. why it was important to implement this in the revision of the compliment of the constitution. it's because it's going to be a sub homes concerning the implementation of the car, as you called does a which is a the piece. so it remains the paper assign between the model you and there will be against the, which happened in the notes. but does it cost in the method because it was considered of it partition to the concrete, but to date again, for the 3rd time we just finished on the governmental bed frame for the 1st time

these people are waiting so that you're looking for this implementation of the new constitution, why it's been done last year, 2002021. then what i sees on or log in to decide whether, if we have to revise the constitution and that's with this i see is it was okay. it was a, it was approved by the mining population report with the constitution, but today is a deciding date of the was just a couple of days before they said at the moment we're living in 2001 against the if the government did this, it again was said that he's in tennis and he said the implementation of this constitution. why? because it seems like the goal. it ends up basically the reason why it was against their religions. they called me white. let me ask you, let me, let me ask you this. uh mama do do do do molly ins. uh see this vote today as the 1st step back to democracy reconfigured. yes. because it's very

difficult to say to, to go hungry person is just going to democracy. personally yes. why? because uh, a remote and look, show the whole one skin boom boom. across the regina, one version of government is campus and by a number of the populations, it's impossible. and in this case, i think the so it was they would indicate if it's possible to go to the normal into the presidential election, which might be confident in february 2024. why? because this election today, people some of the really just uh agency and what additional agency because they said it's not, it's not the policy of the governments to organize the election around them. now why if there's a whole whole of the product because we get paid by uh, it's orange power and with this and monitor the, the article i was going to do, we're gonna have to end it. we're gonna have to end it there. really appreciate your time and your perspective. that's a mama due to the in bama co,
