replaces its final hurdle with disagreements about environmental protection, threatening to of and this and from fruit picking, drove to alcoholism designed with pollination in mind. how israel's agriculture and 3 is embracing innovation. this is dw business on k ferguson. and thanks for joining me. their opinion on japan are to work more closely together to secure the supply of computer tips. because that meant will enable both sides to benefit from the other as me search on the expertise as well as open the door to more mutual investment. rising geopolitical tensions have prompted several major economies to replace some of their trade with china and move known as the risking. here's high, the use internal market commission aren't heavy, but tom explained that the russian now behind deepening co operation. uh, we have a strategy in china, the 3 don't want to pick up a and we made it very clear. we just wanted to deal with it forces as too much ways,

too much dependencies. we single source, we want to do to reduce this uh, this risk. and it's got that many aspect like a quick, you've got a whole my toyota is a some minute orders, but hopefully we can send me some details some more and that's, that's bring in p w corresponding christine will handle that. she's joining us from brussels, christine, we hear a lot of had countries wanting to de risk their relationship with china. how far does disagreements actually go towards that end? are located from an e u perspective. this is a big step in the direction that the european union wants to take that is increasing its corporation in the technology space with allied countries that is technology involving around artificial intelligence. and of course, this crucial strategic aspect of semi conductor chips. really, you've got to look back to what happened with this global supply shortage, just off to the pen demik with factories in europe with producing cars,

electronics, health devices, what basically brought to a stand still because of a lack of supply or the semi conduct, the chip this was awake, a pool for the european union, and as such in the world where the european union says it's looking to the risk that is reduce its dependency on china. this space going to an ally like japan where there is going to be knowledge transfers in, in the space of semi conductors. to of course take leap from being steps in this technology exchanging transfers. we know that the european union is going to be supporting companies, japanese companies wanting to operate in the european union. so if this is randy, countering chime is progression in the space as well. china, of course, which the opinion has a designated as a systemic rival. okay, christine to stay with us because there's another story as like to discuss that is the face of a trade deal between the you and for latin american countries. representatives of

the market search right block that argentina, brazil, parkway, and uruguay. have kicked off a meeting where they'll be discussing whether or not to sign a trade packed with the block, the agreement to have been 20 years in the making, but is far from a done deal. among the biggest stumbling blocks you demand for environmental protection. and the amazon rain forest, the brazilian forest plague by legal logging both for the wood itself and to make space for valuable crop lance. during former president, both scenarios realty for station reached unprecedented levels. snellville for change with president. let us of the use also hoping for more from the miracles or trade agreement. but brazil's present has been critical of brussels plans to add more environmental requirements to exclude trade in products broad and deforested areas. crops like soil. i think these could, that'd be the suited to part of the premise of mutual trust must exist between strategic partners on not missed trust and sanctions. a land over to europe and

union approved its own laws were extra territorial effect states which modified the balance of the agreements. the funeral, which you leave these initiatives, post potential restrictions on for zillion agricultural and industrial exports. a report that the ones that get equal, they do see the view. these are the members of macros, or although venezuela's, membership has been suspended in 2019 macros or countries agreed on a deal in principle with the you. but the deal has stalled. and along with it, the goal is to create one of the world's largest free trade areas with around 700000000 people. last year that you export goods worth 56000000000 euros to macros or countries imported goods worth 64000000000 euros. it was to use 1st trade deficit with macros or countries in years. europe wants access to important raw materials from latin america for its energy transition materials like lithium, which is used to make batteries and especially important components for the auto

industry. but the trade agreement is controversial in europe. some countries including france, austria, and the netherlands fear that their farmers will lose out to agricultural imports from latin america. meanwhile, environmental is believed that the trade deal will result in more pressure on the rain forest and hurt global climate goals. finalizing the agreement will be tricky for the spanish government. it holds the rotating e presidency and his task with a deal by years. and it's christine the steel is back on the agenda in part because spain has recently taken over the presidency of the counsel of the you. how is madrid hoping to convince fellow member states to get back on board located as a right to point out madrid's taking over the european union of council presidency for, for the remainder of the. yeah, and we know that this is high up on madrid's agenda. this is something that the spanish themselves have says out to accomplish by the end of the year. we know that spain, highly fav is getting this feel done as

a result in other countries on the other side as well. kate, it's going to be a matter of resuming that momentum that the european union and because the countries had achieved in 2019. that was, of course, before the stalling logically because of your opinion, concerns of a deforestation in the amazon that really reached at record levels under the both in our administration with president pool are coming in. that seems to have changed . it seems to be in the meantime on that side, but of course there are other issues in madrid really is going to do everything that he possibly can to make sure that all those hurdles are kid come the end of the year a so on like given that there are a lot of issues on both sides remaining. how do you assess the chances of the agreement being fined by the end of this year? s k because of the winning this that's been signaled by both sides to, to, to pick up momentum to get this deal done. it is very possible. however, we've got to be realistic about some of the difficulties. and now the latest sort

of hurdle, if you would like, is coming from result president a new law is concerned particularly about the fact that the deal allows european union countries to solve for the public fix that he wants to reserve public sector contracts to small, medium enterprises in brazil, and that's something that he's likely to dig his heels in full. he also wants to reserve, i will exclude your opinion, compensate companies from the public sector. we know, for example, on the east side, you've got countries member states like fraud. so we're looking particularly out for the agriculture say to, to protect their farm is of course this would allow more impulse coming in from 11 american country. so we will, there was hopes that at a big summit with less american countries and caribbean countries happening here in brussels later this month, that they would be a significant announcement in terms of progress having been made. but given this latest, the sort of hurdle on the prism side with present students seeking to add some, some counts of proposals into the deal that might still progress. but there is good

faith. there is the winning this, it'll be up to me to madrid's persuasive powers, the sort of like bringing besides to give a reaching those for the compromises. what it does need, of course, is um for the european union. so maybe we'll back we heard from president rudolph result recently and power saying, you know, this paternalistic attitude in terms of how we're negotiating here. we want good faith. we want to be equal partners. yes. so it appears spain will be pulling member states on, on this end to, to, to, to perhaps reaching for the compromises. but again, possible, very likely, but it would be difficult to do. so if you hear from the spanish, it's something that they're going to do their utmost best to accomplish. all right, so a diplomatic balancing act that had christie 100. thank you so much. i, i know to some of the other trouble business stories making news, facing households and a new communist party secretary for the central bank pond on chang. currently

a deputy governor is expected to know take over the top jobs of the people's bank of china. the appointment is seen of assign the chinese leadership is concerned about a week. economic growth test was never close to half a 1000000 electric vehicles. and the 2nd quarter of this year, that's a more than 80 percent increase compared to the year before the sales booth was fused by us federal products which helps make its electric vehicles more affordable . because light is also expected to hit record sale in china is 2nd largest marcus after north america. oil prices are up after savvy arabia said it was extending an oil production costs of $1000000.00 barrels per day. meanwhile, russell says it's funding to reduce its are ready, limited exports. the moves are part of a wider attempt to stabilize markets which continue to be played by russia's warn you, crane, and to china, full to rank, post pandemic recovery. not for,

for picking drones to algorithms designed to pinpoint the perfect time for pollination is really, companies are increasingly in pricing, innovative solutions and the agriculture industry. proponents say the technology could help address labor sources as well as climate change. a, you know, a cod orchard, what's in central is right. these products draw pulling from the plants using an electrostatic charge. then let them draw both on the next line of trees. is riley agriculture will tech company bloom x use this data science and algorithms to predict the optimal time for point a nation? most of our company does artificial point a nation. this is a solution that also has the problems of to put in a toes which arise from the incorrect use of natural opponent items such as insect funny, b bumblebees in commercial services. and to show that we also the lack of property used to do better off put to the reader, model in quality and quantity of foot bits and forgot about that. let me get the

ones they're going to come with up with and never dropping labor shortage in agricultural sectors. is a big problem. was the number of people working in agriculture at the windows? do you mind is growing? tech can offer alternatives like these for picking drones unless at the electrical moment the system is complete, the autonomous deciding on how to pick the fluid, how go and it's changed, and how to get to the fruit so, and cut it off. all this is completely autonomous. without human decisions have done, but human presence is critical. one makes sure that all the robots work according to the criteria on the, at the right pace, with the right quantity. also in the end, if there's a malfunction, human make sure to provide a solution of the possibilities. the tech offers the culture are expanding every day. it may hold the key to facilitate the fight against lots scope challenges such as climate change and global population dropped. the rest of our show from where
