8:02 am
a dive to the side of the titanic, wreckage off the coast of canada. it is a remote area, and it is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area. but we are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board ocean gate. the company responsible for the expedition takes people to the titanic for prizes, starting at $250000.00. once at the site, passengers climbing to a stop and to send to the bottom of the ocean. the british passengers ship famously sank in 1912 on its maiden voyage. after striking an iceberg, killing more than $1500.00 passengers. its wreckage has been extensively
8:03 am
explored since it was discovered in the mid eighties. these expeditions to the titanic rec side generally include archaeologist and marine biologist. but the company also brings people who pay to travel along british billionaire. hey, miss harding is believed to be among the missing passengers. a deep submersible diving is very dangerous, but it is uh, its height check, you know, any so you chair goes by, the equipment gets better, the technology gets better and so on. so i'm very hopeful i'm very positive, i mean, i was in the sub for 12 hours. we have our own breathing system on board and if that's maintained properly, like changing your filter and your so you go to the scrubber, you can stay down there for, you know, quite a few hours the u. s. coast guard estimates the craft has enough oxygen for 4 days . chinese delegation led by premier league shown is in berlin for talk,
8:04 am
same recycling, recessing relations between the 2 trading partners. german economic economy minister hold the top that cuz met with the head of china is top economic regulator . jane sean g to kick off a day of diplomatic discussions. climate and economy will top the agenda, but germany is expected to raise some of the more contentious issues such as china is closeness to russia and the country's ledge human rights abuse. those are some of the visiting to berlin is premier lee challenge 1st for an trip, since taking office from all of a spring. indeed nobody's chief international editor richard walker, who's standing by outside the federal ministry for economic affairs here in berlin . richard and europe regards trying to as a systemic rival, how can we understand these government consultations in that context as yeah, well terry, i think that in fact simply is caps the lights pretty well. the really sort of
8:05 am
tricky line, the gemini in, including other western countries as well. of course, a trying to what, with respect to that relations with china at the moment on the one hand, china it read germany is kind of waking up to some hard realities about china. the fact you just mentioned it, that china is standing by a large me approved soon despite the will that he's on the least on ukraine. the fact that china is becoming more aggressive in its own region in east asia and the south china see that these practices are contributing to a picture of china as a country that is more or more false, right, more and more, especially if i'm pushing for a very different kind of world one that's much friendlier to all sorts harry and powers. so you've got all of that on the sort of the dock side. but then on the other side of the equation, you have the fact that china is still germany's biggest trading partner of the last decade in the hospital. so it became absolutely crucial to the german economy and absolutely essential to many big gem and companies. and yet, even there's also
8:06 am
a some document horizons. the fact that when china was in the past, germany's biggest call market for selling german cause abroad, increasingly there's a sense that in the electric cause of the future that china might actually outcompete german manufacturers. so a darkening picture that so, so that's one reason why the tools that have going on here, the economy ministry invalid and a going to be as important as the political towards going on. i think it in, in the state of engagement between germany and china as it tries to what this tricky line is, relations. so given all that, richard, what can we expect then from this gathering a german and chinese leaders? yeah, well if we look back to the last time that there was an in person version of these consultations that was in 2018 that was on the island macro, the previous chancellor who really push this is this deepening of ties. we have
8:07 am
china were on that occasion, there was a huge statement put out at the end of the meeting, $71.00 different action items, or the $71.00 different items and then 10 further agreements on top of that. so it's huge kind of in the range of agreements between the 2 sides. now we're hearing from the genocide that they didn't even bother to try to draft such a statement because they realized i simply wasn't enough common ground. so i think they're a measure of, of the, the change that is happening. what the jumpstart is saying is they want to focus today very much politically on climate change to try to hold that top is an area where these 2 sides can still meaningfully cooperate. so we'll be watching out for what kind of outcomes we may get on the climate front. this meeting richard, of course, comes at the same time as the us secretary of state is visiting beijing and the great tension between the 2 superpowers has been visiting beijing or germany and the us on the same page with respect to china. with that, that's
8:08 am
a complex question, terry, i mean, but certainly won't be hearing from the jam inside of the old. i felt so saying this just yesterday as an event, that he very much appreciate the fact that there seems to be some steps towards stabilizing the us china relationship going on. because that had got to a very dangerous place is often and i think in germany and also in other countries, redwells and particularly in east asia itself. the greatest fear is of the relationship between the us and china getting so bad that it, in fact potentially breaks as into, into open conflict. that would be a nightmare for europe. that would be a nightmare for asia. so certainly in that sense, here in germany, that is the diplomatic moves between the us and china. welcome at this point. very much, richard. thank you very much. uh, this uh, chief international editor richard walker sketch up on some of the stories making headlines around the world today. funerals are being held in uganda for 42 people killed and
