and that's why i think we're still relatively far away from fully exploding. oh, potential comes up with. and so it's one of the shops lose to columbia though. and fans might be asking if out of what union now going to replace flick it by and might be a better best as coach if the pressure continues to build slick, may risk being shown the door of that. so your world news updates top next is doc film with an analysis of europe's fossil fuel dependency. i'm on a home from me in the team here in berlin. thanks for watching. take care the really profiteering instead of responsive the global business of as best as this is not a legitimate business. the people that are in don't deserve to be treated with any kind of courtesy by the governments of the world. the never ending story of

asbestos starts june 21st on d w. the total is known being a placing between fossil fuel exports and also retiree and magazines and then have custody of these democrats, a good defendant to becomes, move them across a lot there. if people can control what they can start. so yeah, you have to, i'm convinced you can become a role model for the green transition for quite understanding the really we don't have a lot of time left to still to the climate catastrophe him. we'll fight for that up and i believe will succeed. the image is the well spring of modern mind in your without energy. we couldn't produce

food. manufacturer objects, communicate work or travel. the double in ukraine is a painful reminder of the price of our energy independence. for a long time, europe's prosperity has relied on cheap fossil fuels, much of it, and pointed. but time is running out. to the climate catastrophe the continent must achieve common neutrality by 2050 geo political conflict because may be energy transition more urgent than ever. but what will it take to achieve this transformation? in 2020 the year of time to make a long downs. global carbon emissions fell by 7 percent about to meet the powers climate packs to degree go. emissions would need to full by 7 percent every year

through 2030. the will we succeed. can we achieve a secure and sustainable energy transition? the before the wall in ukraine? 40 percent of europe's natural gas and 30 percent of its oil came from russia. about 60 percent of the use energy needs come from impulse, a trend that looks set to rise. this map shows all the oil and gas tank is that sale for europe in just one week, many passed through the suez canal on route from the oil ranch middle east. and these are the pipelines that bring gas from siberia, north africa, and the north sea. europe is dependent on a vast oil and gas supply network that extends hoff way around the world.

time and again, europe's energy dependency has come with a heavy political price the most of the way just of access to roll materials in the middle east. the caucasus africa and the wrong, the many treaties have been signed with games with dictators and we, sophia bureaucrats, and the soviet union began building pipelines towards western europe for the service of securing energy. now, europe needs to free itself of its reliance on russian gas. the controversial north stream to pipeline project as being frozen billions were forward into a project that would have increased germany and western, europe's energy dependency. the over the next 2 years,

europe will not be able to win itself off gas impulse on the country to replace russian gas. europe will increase its importance from the united states and content but wants behind europe's unquenchable thoughts about oil and gas. impulse demand for crude oil continues to rise. the fuel ass felt roads, the tires, but also to produce plastic cosmetics, fertilizer, and even the pharmaceutical products gas to is used in many industrial processes and for heating. and it's also banned to generate electricity, germany and italy, which wants to close that and coal fired and nuclear power plants are especially reliance on natural gas. that's why the price of electricity is linked to the price

of gas. the switch makes sense from an environmental perspective. edit tricity from gas emits about half as much c o 2 compared to co does gas powered electricity really makes sense? in germany. many young people have been protesting this development for years now. it sounds like you all probations in government suspending the idea of that gas is a green alternative. we need to find that didn't happen to be and for decades, governments around the world, governments in europe failed to respond to the climate catastrophe. cutoff co for to the again, we have no choice but to take messages into our own hands hang on to the move top sets, and you have some neighbor implements book on their handbook. a new terminal for l n. g imports from the us is underway in summer 2021, many environmental movements such as fridays, the future,

and in the gland to mobilize to oppose the project. the northern port region is already home to many industries that rely on natural gas or refinery of thought to lies the manufacturer of an automotive sub contracting. the impact of decades of german energy policy is evident to you as long as natural gas was cheap industries, but in no rush to switch to renewables, and to help domestic industry remain competitive on the international market. europe subsidized oil and gas on a massive scale to the tune of 55000000000 euros every yeah, over the past 10 years. so that's the route. so germany's economy really nice on gas pinging is it's a big problem. and the only way to fix that is to expand renewable energy, also on the

to the renewables. read you cheaper than fossil fuels for today is to sue subsidized by time. but it's too late for compromise, the cutting kind of complements. we don't have a lot of time left to stop by the climate catastrophe outside the the man became, we'll fight for that space and i believe will succeed documents, especially those top of the wall in ukraine, head of the shadow, the energy transition for global heating continues affects the, the glowing red points mock, the location of europe's 30 most polluting coal fired power plants. the t 70 climate aspects agree. shunting these down is an urgent priority. this is especially adults in poland,

also known as the climate tequila. the launches leak 9 toll brom. coal fine plant in a wild, it's europe's biggest source of carbon emissions. the major and want to have polluted bonds. unplugging back utah one be easy. poland, sleep, 9th reserves that made it less dependent on energy impuls, about 80 percent of its electricity is produced from count and about $80000.00 minus depends on the industry in europe as grand ridge from call it pallet the industrial revolution, the e. u is increasing, the phasing out co called mines are being converted into a theme parks and open and museums punch in poland. germany and romania coal mining continues. fields far is so needs an entire village is being destroyed for it, the,

the car and geo political tri seuss. and soaring energy costs, slope set to delay. europe's cold will phase on tomkins, the, but the, you doesn't need to reconsider how it produces energy. it also needs to take a hop, low good consumption, who exactly uses energy and how much the in europe, the rich is 10 percent image 6 times as much c o 2 per person as the poorest, 50 percent. this energy and the quantity is often acknowledged by policymakers. yet there are many people to whom access to energy is still a luxury bottom lanka, and boy co even oscar live with that family in eastern book area. their apartment is poorly insulated. on 3, she did some good to cook and it's the prescription. we only 10 on the heat when the children take them off before and as soon as they were sleeping,

we turned it off as a split is cleared to maybe dogs. yeah. today and we thought we keep our coats on. it's so cold. we even sleep with our coats on any something else you got to do is make cuz there's when the water and electricity bills arrive, we're surprised and ask ourselves, how can this be if we can't manage it? this me energy poverty affects some 50000000 people in europe. they're especially haunted by storing energy prices . the, the way we produce on energy is the reflection of lifestyle and about individual and collective choices. energy is in ways political. either one of them, there's no push me some money to when i caught my engineering degree or

a wants to do something to benefit society evans. yeah, i became interested in renewable energy and started working in regions with little access to electricity really so that we set up solar energy systems in remote locations, places in north africa and the middle east. today, samuel full works for the enter called co operative. he helps coordinate local, green, and renewable energy projects in the west of france dependent, so that we have solar panels installed above the parking lot, making some of the energy is spent directly into the surrounding administrative buildings on the street. the states are in front of us and the tourist information office, which is right behind today. on our end, if she wants to produce directly where it is consumed, it needs to, that's eliminates transportation and transfer losses. this i'm talking about is no different from all the hundreds of others in the area because we want to show what we can achieve with local production and replicate it on the municipal scale. the

community, the local energy generation helps reduce impulse. another step towards energy independence. samuel falls. next stop is a group of farmers who operate 5 wind turbines. that's all you see that you will see when we love working with wind. fuck the project is because they raise a wind staple. these people are rooted in the region and know the lab under your thinking address issues like noise associated with the wind turbine. and they've got to understand previous private operators a different that's about what we're doing with the main concern is operating on the, in the regulation of just one of the things that i think you got set up with this one. you've talked to things to wind, fox like this, and hundreds of citizens who have gotten involved already. we've been able to reach out to schools in the community and wouldn't be, belongs to the energy transition into who it is,

except obviously several hope all is good for young people producing energy isn't enough. and we also want to limit energy consumption. have me about a topic in our schools and communities and teach about energy management to, to provide me preventive mixes, reality possible. so you don't need to keep cool your appliances all the time. uh, to say inside your house. i mean, it's not, it's right. i mean, i know the best energy use, the energy we don't use production is good. cutting consumption is even better. reducing consumption is key. if your wants to meet it's 20, so to climate targets, it didn't show its energy independence. but uh, such local decent realized projects enough to achieve the energy transition for an entire continent. if there's anyone who understands the link between energy policy and geo politics, it's the home to piano. in 2015, the french diplomat was

a driving force, and then it goes to ation of the powers climate agreement of voice. and you have shown up at the present, the only develop on the if you're at pressed forward on renewables such as so not and wind. we wouldn't be as dependent on coal, gas and oil impulse, especially from russia studios, climate security include sufficing climate change. and to cheating independence from fossil fuel explosives. so if you're only be for is this today that's russia be exposed to tomorrow, it could be someone else. she said that i'm not looking to not sell us with the shoulders or not. the homes to piano is relieved that the you continues to support it's green deal. despite the cubic time demick and the role in ukraine. the and vicious 600000000000 euro investment plan aims to make the european economy more sustainable and more results efficient. continue. so the push into the green deal

is a peace project. it can support democracy because it's a d centralized energy project. it will benefit the board of society or congressional class will shoot the movement when it comes to the green deal. one country stands out. denmark, not long ago, denmark was a major producer of gas and oil. today, it's a full run out in the energy transition. denmark as an ambitious time to produce 100 percent green energy without reducing consumption. the doable that kaleya denmark can show you that it's possible to invest in green technologies and to actually get to return. it's more of an annoying obligation, may actually creating opportunities, defax, a desktop and then we'll,

a denmark aims to become the 1st e u country to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035. that goal will require a broad social consensus. a collective decision supported by the public and by industry in this time of crisis glenda, nape is task, has become even more of a challenge. she hopes to persuade government ministries, universities, and full 100 different companies to develop innovative technologies which i missed. if i ever lose my focus it black escape, i just have to open a newspaper to remember why my job is important. and yeah, they want me to and nobody can do it alone. no me. no, my organization is not one company on it's own mini like them and we're all in the same boat is on december. denmark is already invested vast

sums in the energy transition, wind energy, now supplies cost the countries electricity. the boat is s b a is a hub for the offshore wind industry for out of 5 of europe's wind turbines passed through here on the way out to the north sea. from i had a severe problem and see what even though i told you that housing part, many of you were when firms are installed from here they, i'm, and this of it's a good opportunity here. i think yes i was just from the industry just keeps growing place and of in the box of elk. so are they mind when they add a visa? relationships are impressive. each leg goes deep into the c bed, but typically, interstate we have to invest like crazy, more than ever before. just to keep up the pro 5 for them is the, it's because the turbines keep getting bigger, which nets and generate more energy. and they keep going farther off, so where there's more wind, which also generates more energy. denmark is thinking

bank, it's planning to build to energy islands. each will connect some 650 wind turbines. they'll generate more wind power. the denmark needs well as if you saw my massive in the stop because we'll have so many turbines, we can bring some of that to denmark, unexplored, some of it to them and we could use some of that green energy to make green fuse on the quantity kilo quantity plot some i think i'm a pool, then the phone for quite a time. stuff kind of bolts, have port please. screen fuels. supply costs at coronado trucks. if you equipped an app plane with the battery, i think the battery would be bigger than the plane. so that's no good. we need greens, us to dekalb and nice the transportation sector. so the to fail to import a tons of point 6 on the 0 and update on

this. that's probably our most exciting project going up to green ammonia projects will demonstrate to use if it's possible to use ammonia as fuel. on a large scale stores the fiesta, that ammonia could completely replace what's produced by the oil industry. they fall into. ready the steam village, all this and lots of interest these days in local networks, especially when it comes to food and organic farming. so it's an idea that really resonate this. people want to know what they're paying for and their energy val samuel phones next stop is solely your team. whether townhome itself has become a green energy producer. the profits from the sewing your keene's solar units flow back into the public coffers, which allowed the town to reduce local tax is allowed to be deemed 2010. we

mainly targeted schools to raise awareness. uh kid shopping that goes on that be suffering. we've installed solar panels on the roofs of club houses on the carnival warehouse. yeah. and on the tennis whole. but so piano did you mean it's allowed us to drastically cut the community's energy expenses were partly self sufficient, which helped cut our energy bills like to the now he called this on usual location might soon catch on a soda project at the municipal cemetery. for now, it's the only plan of its kind. the electricity generated here will be used by local residents. if i am on a cell, we like for you and it's for also hoping to create a kind of energy package. and if in the future it would help struggling families by providing them with free energy and reduce their monthly bills, the country to the now he will. but he had only if you could do most of the work. the coverage sold, new busy day. many municipalities have already come to see our work. it's raising

awareness i have. i hope our example will encourage them to get on board more quickly. so at the, are we all of the 16? so these are exciting times because we all need energy use to be ruled by the big class, but i don't nowadays can seem is expect new models from the gym and he showed up on 2 sides of renewable throwing divide. local entities from is a longstanding energy monopoly harvest. so all state investments and when it all comes off the phone, we're transitioning from a centralized energy model towards one in which people collaborate can invest together on a local level who is different from the the contrast between these local and the centralized initiatives and denmark's industrial and commercial projects, a striking copenhagen also has its share of spectacular projects

like this ski so built on top of an ultra modern power station, fueled by waste incineration dibiase. we generate enough energy here to meet the annual electricity and heating needs of around 1500 households. about 350 to 400 trucks arrive here every day. right, and so it's pretty big. it would be a shame for the waste to end up in landfill at 10 minutes, lots of methane. this shows how much waste we produce, even with something insane. the amount the incineration plant is already one of the most efficient in the well. now it's in box on a new experiment to capture c o 2 before it enters the atmosphere. hobbyhorse or if you don't. and they say so to frank. this is our carpet and captured pilots. project design is the beginning,

management learn how it can work most efficiently on what liquids we need to put on risk of start by capturing 850 kilos of c o 2 a day. we need to capture some 500000 tons a year. maybe still all the time. so that's how much to escape to visit with what will happen to the c o 2 once you've capped to the thing. once we have a full scale facility with capture and pressure, or is it attackers will collect it and take it out to the north sea. and other side of the most common concha is one way to to europe could gain time to produce more green energy. it would be a groundbreaking solution, but right now the technology is still in its infancy and storing carbon dioxide in the commission, gas fields in the north sea would be extremely complex.

that's what foxes fluid overlook. trial, i'm stating, i'm believe europe would accomplish the energy transitions best or something in to that account or put it. it will require political courage listed. it is on massive investments in the right technologies in a survey to co, and it will require the public to understand that the green transition is an opportunity we have to cross. even though to have michel, you make you see the energy policy of the future is not just a national issue. it's an issue that transcends boldest, took up a traffic. i'm stuck up with wrestling today. roughly 38 percent of electricity in the u comes from renewable sources. but that still not enough. den monkeys volunteering ahead, but the country is also part of the european energy network in which electricity is exchanged between countries to compensate for the vagaries of production and demand

. and denmark still hasn't sold one of the key obstacles on the pump. the green energy, how to store the electricity produced by wind turbine. when wins a strong denmark which uses more electricity than it needs. the excess i sent to germany and the netherlands. when this little wind, the country depends on impulse of german coal palate and swedish nuclear power. research on new storage methods is underway. but apart from dams in norway and the outs and experiments with hydrogen, there's no good way to store green energy. if your base serious about d colonizing its industry and making the switch to electric vehicles, it will need much more green energy at least twice as much as what they produced is

today. the that's why i'm no common form of energy is enjoying renewed interest on the many in europe, a ton that bank. com as too expensive and too dangerous. while i'm in the full and welcome to fulton's luis, a nuclear power plant is a live excel, a notice to escape the house, couple up of the how much electricity is produced is no longer them around a terrible. so yeah, that's about 10 percent of sealants. total electricity consumption. value produced is about 25 percent about the quote. so yes, finland has always been a quiet supporter of nuclear energy. but now green m p's, like at a high end, taking an interest rate. what's the quote us, that's our neighbors that i mean, given the climate change i live,

it doesn't make sense to the commission pounds to the still serviceable. honestly, i got to get you well, and i've done some pastor behind that was crucial on a task, reducing emissions, preventing deforestation, uninsured, and people's well being in a thought, a power, guys of people to expect affordable energy for that daily lives and well being that it was how your loved, that's another points in favor of you can buy more from it all in europe, 28 percent of the electricity generated comes from nuclear power. the issue is a divisive one. the largest producer of nuclear power in europe is products. but several reactors are also active in sweden. great britain and eastern europe, the in germany, italy and belgium mont ship the public seas new to the energy as a threat. the countries are planning the nuclear exit. but peebles on the energy

market could change that monday, the state was born a couple of years before general was nuclear accidents, no one master. hey, you're welcome, and they haven't got a lot of them. the power isn't risk free. so what are going to these risks can be mitigated? remember, that's why we shouldn't simply condemn it down right down. i think we don't want to expand nuclear energy a pound sustainable development, or can nuclear is a to say in a tool perhaps. but walter about the problems and risks associated restoring radioactive waste. finland requires nuclear plants to stall that waste, 110 meters below sea level. but will those disposal facilities still be safe in centuries to comp? is allstate? so knowledge quantities of radioactive waste is stored here. i mean the flood the

follow up on the human, the soon this room to 10000 barrels here. obviously they wouldn't be able to enter those areas anymore. i mean, the, that's not the long nicholson last. the facility has been built to last for millennial. i'm with the economy that doesn't nope, advocate i was in the army and almost about it. we must act quickly to stop climate change and lots of honda tests. yeah. anybody building a nuclear power plant takes time. so you know, mileage we need to slash emissions by the end of the decade. that was going to have a lot of work ahead of us in the century. one decade won't be enough to minnesota the. ready europe college when it's race against time on nuclear, allowed nuclear power plants to generate comp and free addict tricity. that

construction is time consuming, dangerous, and very expensive. the brand new reactor in the west of finland is a good example. construction was slated to take full oh yes. instead it took 17 and came in way of a budget. so there's no nuclear miracle on the horizon, at least not by 2070 the. and that's now to countries like from switch heavily backed nuclear, shown here in yellow, have invested last in renewable energy is shown here in green and blue to achieve its climate goals. europe, mazda overcome, they divide nuclear energy is also extremely centralized. so complex and expensive,

that investment has to be funded by the state. that's why enterprise in jenko is banking on renewables. he's the founder of ukraine's 1st green energy co operative lease was filmed in love. you touched some months before the war, broke out. the town is located not far from genova assigned to the new designs to 40 years ago. so the but a symbol of see think it's a novel work is were relocated here off to the accident. spencer piece up the hooks . lots of detective us profit. se, prac, the assembled on this project as an example of a town reinventing itself. awesome. the and that as a town that was once a center of nuclear power, it's discovered a new purpose, an identity won't. you didn't go out to the fundraising chain. coast project is called solar town. solar panels have been installed on the roofs of buildings to make themselves sufficient. jenco once to encourage residents to take charge of the

communities, energy future. no, i use a lot of him while i was in the past and i feel like we could only generate electricity. a big our prompts to talk to him was subsidized by the government most difficult, but today. so you can buy some of the modules at a supermarket, so we generate electricity, a ton of drama, and that had to go up there because the energy is more democratic when people can control some of what they can see you. i do y'all do myers draw the mole the people understand how it's produced by the more economical they'll be with it. cheese? yeah. economic. the energy is a back door to democracy. russian troops entered slow view teach soon after the invasion. but following massive peaceful protest. spinal goals, the russian troops withdrew from the time. in march 2022 the

you're just needs to move forward with the energy transition, but it will take time to come up with reliable alternatives. time is running out. the ones include radically speed up the process. money, the middle of a is an investment fund based in paris that specializes in renewable energy. so i've also been talking to them about the spanish hydro project. they want to to meet with the sales team this week is just about the cost function. yes, it's about the costs are less,

proposal wasn't attractive enough. what is the nature of the so that starts with the meeting, we talked about to wind farm we buying, imposed and then we discussed the solar project portfolios. it could be both the ground and roof mounted. there's a great deal of invested interest in lots of projects and developments with the project. they've got to thank you very much. have a good day. see you later. you said the 10 years ago. this was the stream is a few pioneer. so when you type your hands get because you do need, we started with 3000000000 and you're also a drop in the bucket of the today from ya. we managed 23000000000 euros and a growing quickly. i felt like we should, you know, 5 pots of a move from the terminate the entire market of the machine. for a long time, active is sort of accused the financial center of investing in oil and gas to repub quick profit. nowadays, even the central european bank has warmed the climate changes. hunting the economy

is today's investments destroy the planets tomorrow's profits? oh, so it would risk good. this financial sector be on salvation. middle of a has drank the speed with which major investors have abandoned the coal industry. it's an alarm bell to everyone who still invests in fossil fuels. so public cities. yeah, we'll just take one of if we were to burn whole load fossil fuel or says no global heating would have 3 or 4 degree celsius on the foot. bob, who did, if i serious about the 1.5 will to degree limit for yeah, we comp just rely on fossil fuels boss of a start getting so low company's a considerably overvalued sweet. you will be seeing lots of stranded assets actually 40 by when you compare companies. so those who haven't yet started to take action of being punished by the mock sassik. and that's very interesting. the pacific sun take x all the way an oil company that have no interest in any of this

. the shareholders for the board members to talk about it at every board meeting. we believe the summit or i should go savings. customer, middle ha, has seen the cost of solar energy drop by 90 percent over 10 years in europe. it's the cheapest form of energy. so why isn't europe moving forward more quickly? over the past decade, investments in sustainable energy have been 7 times more profitable than fossil fuel investments. that could be a boon for the compensation. will europe's financial centers get on bolt. so cost to keep his mind if we believe to momentum was linear. mean weak dispatch. there are also a positive economic developments that grow exponentially. yeah. so in hydrogen might take another 5 or 10 years to think on the when it's rating so that it could

happen very quickly. it looks it's these tipping point is that we need to identify quickly. this actually is where that can give us something to be optimistic about tech. yeah. to get something i'm calling is have to set the bar as high as possible for you and push the market in the right direction in spain. some so the companies are out the foaming some oil companies on the stock market. soda has a bright future. one study suggests that europe could meet its entire electricity needs by covering cost of 4 roofs, with solar panels. the of the money will be vital to a successful energy transition. it could also help offset jump losses, that the d compensation would entail payable balance spent 29 years working in

a remaining in a coma. then he made a fresh start the see my that the can the i will cut the already on the, the 1st time i climbed up a wind turbine. i was amazed by the few try to lose the media to us that on my, on this of is that there's nothing like that's in the minds michael ball room there . we defend the 400 meters underground. so they may be here 120 meters above sea level data. so probably don't really muddy closer doors estimate today, all payable down now works at the phone toneta the launches on show when from in your p, provide safety training to new wind pockets. take your time. okay. take your hand off the letter. good. i just like that. a

bunch of stuff. okay. you know, safe in to south, but the dc mazda 90 the, the, the victim who started breathing again. we move him so that he's lying on a side of it and then we take off his mask to free his nose and mouth. ok. the the, the european union has set aside billions of euros to special programs to help form mccomb minus. what does it don't particularly sound as we're talking down to zillow? because you're dealing with this project was born 2 years ago when romania was still pondering, the energy transition stuff to the top, the other one. yeah. so what of this year? the government said all our minds will close by 2032 because it should the, the most about the jo. and i've done things to the you and armenian joint strategy, and that will generate at least $7000.00 additional megawatts from solar and wind central. i chased the shop and that will generate around 7 to 8000 new jobs,

the moist look with them across the european union's green deal wants to create 1000000 green jobs by 2030 jobs that will help save the climate and will be less dangerous than working in the mines, the boy and i was under ground when there was an explosion to vote in mind. voice broad, you found that shockwave spread a few kilometers underground because lucky on my team was a bit on the chapel into my system. something like that leaves it's traced on you. the energy for up the this is clean energy for us because there's no risk. they split the worried that your life is in danger. my friends are customer might as well. and that's important to me because that was a major, big stress factor off top of

a 4 month roof. the show a lot of the list of easy as oral she. this is our future under children won't have any clean air to breathe. if we don't take action, want to sit on the, the climate emergency is the greatest branch we've ever faced. a no green energy has also become a matter of peace and security. the, the energy transition would help us solve both of these problems. to protect the climate of freedom, we hold the top of the wall, we will continue building a new call for attempts. and while the energy democracy will come to your brain, and that's, that's our message to the whole world. we, we hold on to the level of interior, photos are doing and they will be building you my gas station use solar

installations and saw on the a pulse the beginning of a story that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspectives culture

of the information. this is the, the news w. mine's millions of old solar panels. nothing but garbage. not so fast. trash can be turned into treasure companies from hammer to india are turning electronic waste to goals. and finally, making technology a sustainable business close on 90 minutes on dw, the russians no longer need the baltic states. why should name? there's no gold. it's only just practice at the next pervasive

o'clock. 7 months before rush tech to crane a film team, documents daily life, the town. how are the people from dealing with the growing tension? they change their world frame hold on. we are with you currently know when i me insight starts joint on dw the this is the w news, and these are our top stories. china as president, she jen paying has held an unscheduled meeting with us secretary of state on to me blinking, blinking spinal day. visiting beijing they agreed to stabilize strain tie.
