2:02 pm
the war and you crime, i knew the visit to berlin is premier lee chung's 1st for an trip since taking office and aimed at resetting relations between the 2 crating giants. or let's get more from our chief political editor, richard walker, who's been following this closely. richard um, we just heard from lee and schultz there. what would you be here from both leaders? yeah, well it was in sing flat. i mean this a press conference really didn't last very long. i think it was on the half an hour and it wasn't really much of a press conference. there were no questions taken. there was much discussion beforehand with a jam inside about whether they'd been able to persuade the chinese to a lot of questions. but they said, well we, we, we really wanted to achieve that. but they didn't get anywhere. the chinese side for that part was saying that it was by mutual agreement, that there will be no questions, but it meant so what we were left with was really just a statement by all of shelves. and then the statement by li chung and then the 2
2:03 pm
men disappeared off again. so it, it didn't really give the real sense of john was giving the opportunity to ask questions to pro depositions on things. the 2 men simply staging that positions and which tells us talking about the need to diversify japanese economic contacts. you refer to the fact that there was a kind of a re think of reassessment of german relations with china going on here right now. but in fact, the overall impression i think of the press conference was that, that there wasn't any sparks flying. schultz didn't mention all of the critical points which, which he did mention, for instance when he was in paging late last year. so it looks a bit like a kind of a return to business as usual, though many schools within the government have been saying that they really don't believe that going back to business as usual is possible right now. yeah, so even with our a ton of information coming out of that press conference that you mentioned schultz that he told me that germany doesn't want to d. couple from china, but to diversify trade. do we still have a sense of what he means when he says that?
2:04 pm
yeah, well, i mean, this is going to be one of the big this discussions going on within gemini and within the why to west in the next few months. and even use is not good at all sides of kind of agreed on. there's a need to diversify or pretend that using is the risk. the relationship with china to reduce the risk of the kinds of relationship that they have with china, say on the trade front, some of the technology fronts. what, what does that actually mean? what's the risk? what's another risk? and we've already seen that there are discrepancies within the government view within this government tia invalid, about some view, this to be risk view that to be risk. so i think this is a very open question. the sense we're guessing for from the top from all ourselves himself, is that he has a fairly narrow view of what the risks are in the relationship that he wants germany not to be too dependent on, for instance, rule materials that come from china. these ret, us, which are important in many high tech products and also acknowledges the risk to
2:05 pm
providing china with a very highest technology that could potentially go into military applications. it's a relatively narrow version of, of the idea of risk that there were others. so here in biling to take a much broad view and view german industries dependents on exporting to china as being a massive risk. so we'll see that debate unfolding in the months ahead not a lot more clarity out of today's event. i have to say, well thank you anyway for your reporting, that's due to be use. richard walker and 9 men have pleaded not guilty to people smuggling at a court in greece. over last week's migrant ship disaster was 81. people are known to have drowned after their boat capsized, but with as many as 500 others still missing. the real death tool is almost certainly much higher. it's here in the small greek town of malik house, the where the survivors of last week ship rec was being held in
2:06 pm
a migrant come on where relatives of the missing coming hope of finding the loved ones. then last night i don't have any option. i don't want to come in, i want to come here by dr sir why it was, but we are ready to go. i don't know. he's a lie on 22 year old a t outside. he'd survived and hummed but the only co showing here on a relative phone is one of the 100 still missing that it's more i've decided that i'm going to now and i'm looking for a lot and his name is abdul. as side of that in mind. i call on all the tardies to help me find him well for, you know, the european, bald and coast cod agent se released these pictures showing the vessel hours
2:07 pm
before a cup sized greek officials are insisting those on board were refusing help by the united nations as called for an investigation into how authority is handled, the disaster among the stories of despair. a red moment of joy. assuming an teenager who supplied the shipwrecked, these were united with his elder brother in an emotional embrace. for more on this story, i would like to welcome mcdaniel griffin, senior advocacy advisor with the save the children. he's joining us today from athens. daniel, one of the more sickening details of this tragedy is that it's believe thousands of children were reporting to of been on board that boat below deck. do we know anything about what's become of them?
2:08 pm
so there is a far from fil, a picture of what actually happened on wednesday last week. but the details that we do know are shocking and horrifying. it even prior to the thinking that reports that the, those who are on board wednesdays with our walter and we're forced to drink newton and salt water. i. and then that, of course, there is that the thinking and so, so up to $750.00 people on board and reports of up to 100 children. i amongst them, which would make it one of the worst tragedy from the magistrate in that we have seen. we mustn't forget that goes on board they. they have names and families like those and your report and every effort must be made to identify the victims. and there are clearly questions that need to be answered by the options of the coast guards on the, on, from text use, border agency. we are calling for
2:09 pm
a true investigation to establish all the thoughts. i and i yeah. and well actually transpired last week. yeah. indeed, shortly after the news of the tragedy broke, you said that these debts were not unexpected. could you elaborate on what you meant by that as they, they, the desks of children and their families on the, by the strain in is, is very far from uncommon. sadly, i am so one in 50 of all the refugees and migrants that come through the mediterranean woods, die or go missing. i am on route and these are the result in the policies of european governments. on the e u, which i've gone through quite extraordinary lines to the tower, refugees, migrants from arriving, and you're in greece. for example. the government has effectively
2:10 pm
a policy of pushing back those who attempt to answer grease, whether by land or by sea, often very violently including violence against chosen those who do make it degrees . face abduction and deputation are being housed and present like comments in the i g and iowans all with the tacit approval of the, the european union. and there is evidence that the, these harsh measures are what is driving refugees and migrant, supposedly conflicts and persecution stake longer and more dangerous. but it's like the one that the bolt was on last week on to avoid i, on to avoid. i'm come to greece. so in your view, what could be, you do realistically to help reduce such horrific accidents from happening in the future? it's, well, we hope that this tragedy is
2:11 pm
a wake up call and you will move away from this approach of essentially the tyrants all costs unimed practice. that's what this would mean. a couple of things that i mean, the 1st would be to open up safe and legal rips far and chosen and their families are fleeing conflicts and persecution. and the 2nd would be to end the lawlessness and the violence. europe's borders that we have seen in the harsh treatment of those who do manage to arrive i'm, i'm particular obligations to, to rescue those that see seriously, i think is really worth remembering that europe has shown that it is possible to do this just in the last year uh you, you repeat governments have welcome over 8000000 refugees from ukraine where there is a political well, there is the possibility to ensure that this protection support is offered to all
2:12 pm
children that are free and conflicts and verification. well, thank you so much for joining us today on data views to speak with us. that is daniel griffin, senior advocacy advisor, would say if the children okay, take a quick look now what some other stories making headlines around the world. french police have rated the headquarters of the parish 2024 olympics organizing committee . as part of a pro venture suspected corruption, prosecutors say the investigation focuses on alleged embezzlement of public funds and favoritism. according to a statement, the committee members are cooperating with investigators for the nose. romanian authorities have formally indicted, controversial u. k. influence or andrew tate on human trafficking and raped charges. they include forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. his brother, tristan and 2 other suspects have also been formally charged and
2:13 pm
a search and rescue operation is underway in the atlantic ocean for a small submarine that went missing while taking torres to the wreckage of the titanic. it's feared the vessel could be almost 4 kilometers underwater. several aircraft has been using sooner technology to try and pinpoint its exact location. well, a submarine team is hoping to launch a rescue attempt late on tuesday. if believe the submarine should have enough oxygen to keep its pilot and 4 passengers a live until thursday, a race against time to find a sub like this one, the people on it. it last contacts, doing a dive to the site to the titanic, wreckage of the coast of canada. it is a remote area. uh 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
2:14 pm
rescue uh the, the people on board ocean gate. the company responsible for the expedition takes people to the titanic for prices starting at $250000.00. once out, the site has been just kind of, i mean to a sub and to send to the bottom of the ocean. the passenger ship famously signed in 1912 on its maiden voyage off the striking iceberg. shooting more than 1500 passages, a speech wreckage has been extensively explored since it was discovered in the mid 19 eighties. these expeditions to the titanic rec, so might generally include um, fuel or just the marine biologist. but the company also brings people who pay to travel alone, which is be, you know, hey, miss harding is believed to be among the missing passages. deep submersible diving
2:15 pm
is very dangerous, but it is a tight check. you know? and is the chair goes by, the equipment gets better, the technology gets better and so on. so i'm very hopeful a very positive. i mean uh, isn't the sob for 12 hours. we have our own breathing system on board. and if that's maintain 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 croft has enough oxygen to last until thursday. that's what is update. thank you so much for watching the it's all just practice at the national pace in brooklyn with a wing 7 months before russia attacked ukraine of filtering documents daily life in the town our the.
