3:03 pm
announced today by the united nations. what we do know is that the floor is the, the seats is the detail of widespread. the thrust of these, we see that through our own stuff, many of them have to flee that many fled through to, to solve. so don and i, or other areas in, in the country itself. but they've slept from my suckers, from all sorts of attacks on civilians, ends the beginning infrastructure on our offices and warehouses have been looted at so it's, it's still telling me it's, it's got us to off it forward as it really is that i'm today is the the ottomans proof, if you like that these up to us of these are leading, being committed, then we need to get to the bottom of who did this, and these people need to be comfortable over the policies. we've also been reporting, of course, on the funding in and around the capital cartoon. how is the for linked to the ongoing funding? it was, therefore,
3:04 pm
is the dynamics that are slightly different than that. there is a huge ethnic component. so the fighting that we're, we're seeing around the floor, which is historic and, and it's, it's what that's the previous ethnic cleansing and genocide and i'm the good for, but that's, that's probably what's, what's happening right in front of our eyes and the, the fighting in the floor to come into longer to start much was the, the, the cartoon was, was in dolton kayla's. there is that has to be in this or fortunate stick rise in environments over there. obviously links to, to the rest of the company, but also with, with its own dynamics making it an extremely difficult scenario and complete the funds for us as a human. again, organization right now we cannot operate safely. a lot of our stuff are, are, are fleeing for their lives. and a lot of people fleeing from, from that ford on equity in jersey,
3:05 pm
that in very bad conditions. and many of them are not even made managing. so make it of a life cause kimberly, thank you very much for joining us there from the norwegian refugee council. he's in charge of sedan operations and was during the day from nairobi. and now to thailand where the country's front fronted to become prime minister has failed to secure a pile of entry support pretending yahoo dot was the only candidate but could not gain enough boats from lawmakers. twin though his performance coalition, one, mays, general election, was not able to secure the support of the military backs, members of the senate, which he needed to become prime minister. a 2nd vote for the jump jump is expected . next week. he does plates to reform strict laws, protecting the monarchy and reduce the military's inputs. so what does this vote mean for thailand and what happens next question is i put 2 phillip, sho, asia corresponding for the sunday times of bangkok,
3:06 pm
a visa its island continues to i have just a catch like a problem is that he's the former qu, leader who has been in powerful 9 years that were elections in may. as you've mentioned, the, the reformers coalition lead by move forward policy. uh, a progressive new force and talk politics. was the surprise uncomfortable winter in those elections, but to become prime minister is not just enough to have the majority supports of m . p 's in the low house which peace of mind bloomed or it does have. but he also has to secure support from on the left to send it says, who are pointed by the phone with jumped up. and today's debates of the joint chain but really focused, very strongly own move towards desire and push to reform, restrict royal defamation laws on the uh, the conservative forces in database. so military party empties pro, military and pays or a set. it says just repeatedly attacks. these plans for phones comparing them to
3:07 pm
attempts to sup uh the moment k which is extremely powerful and strong institutions island. and um, yes, ultimately, when the boats came in, although he had a comfortable lead amongst them, peas, he felt a strong what's up enough folks amongst the to james. so what's next? the toilet. uh yeah. well, we uh, face uh, pay rate price of peralez to see if the opponent will reconvene next week. and the room and coalition of those valve that they will resubmit fits those names. but unless they move forward box down and roll reforms, it seems very unlikely he'll be upset when round enough of senators to get through . and then we're in some positions where, you know, lots of bathroom negotiations, coalition deals. this tool could whether representatives of one of the pro military parties could sticks together. enough numbers with the senate says is a very on such and time. what is very likely, as we'll see over terms of street protests, which have categorized the time on the last couple of decades of the support as
3:08 pm
a move forward, a very angry they uh, notes that have punting one of the selections, fairly suero and much is the largest bounty, and they feel that they send it as a flaunting the democratic well, so we have protested illustrates yesterday, and then we'll be returning again and coming days. they sights. um, particularly if next week. um, a seems very likely pizza does not mind is too much as prime minister the analysis satellite as they have from phillip show all the sunday times in bangkok. thank you very much for joining us here on dw, you. germany's cabinets has approved its 1st type of strategy for dealing with china, its biggest trading partner, but also a potential geopolitical arrival. the new policy says german companies must de risk or reduce the dependence on badging without cutting off cooperation. recent supply chain problems and human rights issues, of course, concerning building germany's foreign minister under the backbone. introduce the
3:09 pm
strategy over here today. the missing die out. we need to focus on our economic security more is, i mean, is that so that means that costs the risk of the don't just impact the individual side, but rather impact the entire national economy must be minimizing louisa. can it means no, i'm so no, but stuff isn't an exempt of folks with task companies that make themselves particularly dependent on the chinese market, will increasingly have to bear the financial burden of this risk using cold cash that zips garden miss. and the part of the economic security is that companies need to ensure that the, that in their supply chain and they are aware of the human right or move toilets and ensure that they are not violate image of naturally we have a responsibility to human rights. all, but we also have to reduce the risk for germany as a business location and also europe. because if we accept the violations of human
3:10 pm
rights and invested they have this will also have impacts on, on european countries here. so and tiny, let's talk about the complexities of that very complex issue without trying reynolds. clifford coon and we're talking about german companies. so as opposed to bad, the costs, if they're overly depended on china in the future. i mean, they're awesome. german companies that make a huge chunk of their profit from china. so is that certainly going to change? i don't think it's going to change, but i don't think it's going to be as straightforward as it has been up till now. i think basically, since the ukraine war and russia's invasion of ukraine, which the old german companies left exposed to her in russia. i think the situation has changed in terms of how did the german federal government views the activities of, of its major industries. we've also seen various strains and stresses in the relationship with china and how issues like human rights of kind of kind of come to the for. so
3:11 pm
i think what they're saying is now that yes, you know, we, we want to do risk the relationship at keep doing business, but not, and not as it was before, but by reducing the possible risk and exposure as to what, what could go wrong. and china, well, the adult ready being consume of backlash or getting some companies involved in uh, with, with supply chains involving slave labor. interesting, young, for example, in china. and now we're seeing a backlash from the government way. i mean, how a company is going to pay attention to something like human rights violation. it's a, it's a highly political not business topic. usually. yeah. i think what we saw if you take the example of volkswagen, which i did shareholders meeting in may. you had shareholders throwing cake up the up the boards to make their point. it's become a, it's a shareholders. meetings are classic place where we're, the public can make their feelings known about how businesses are behaving. that
3:12 pm
kind of things very bad publicity, more than just being very bad publicity though. it's also bad for the bottom line because um, ethical investment funds, for example, bones want to get involved in, in companies that they feel are involved and in bad practice in places such as shinji on. so what you're seeing is this is kind of giving a political framework to the us and that these actions that companies are expected to, to behave in a certain way. and i think there's a sense, russia, russian invasion of ukraine. again, i think it's, it's also made that there is a growing awareness that the con, you kind of no longer separate these things as easily as before. but if company gets itself into trouble financially, because it's too dependent on china and that was obvious or has been pointed out by the government. what happens at the end of the day is this company left flailing? will build a german government not step in and bailout say a company but slightly. i think ultimately they will. i mean if you look at the say
3:13 pm
the german stage of, of lower sacks and he has got on 11 percent stake and volkswagen for example. it's not going to leave it's own its own company in which it's got associated shareholding. it's not going to even flaming is going to change them out of the job and employees. exactly. you idea that this is very political, very important political situation at position. but i think that, uh, i think you will see um they will still probably intervene, but it's not going to be as easy as before. they're talking about things like stress tests. they're, they're going to make companies show their level of exposure. i think a lot of this is actually driven by economics as well. we saw during the trip the pandemic that supply chains were heavily effective. and people were suddenly realized that too much exposure to a place like china is risky anyway. and so it's not just a political decision. i think the companies also are self regulation to that extent, but i think they will be looking at ways of diversifying, say, their supply chains. but this is a very important political message to back up the activity. and what about the response then from china there's that, you know, it takes 2 to tango and this is
3:14 pm
a toxic relationship we're talking about. we're talking about a competitor pot and systemic rival, as germany's national strategic. so a national security strategy points out. yeah, yeah, no, definitely. i mean this, this is not a great basis for relationship to have capacity or i'm strategic rival as well as your partner. but i think there's a, there is a realization that something is going to change in china. they don't like the word d whisking, they don't, they don't like the word, the coupling. but at the same time, we've seen a lot of by the economic data coming out of china. we've seen pressure on the chinese economy. they need your up now they need the west in a way that, that the, that they didn't as much in the, in the, in the boom years of double digit, percentage growth every year. so long term. well, they need the long term. i think so, i mean, the still the big issue of technology, a lot of the key technologies are coming from the, from the west. this is obviously a big issue for the americans, which is why they've introduced export controls on things like micro chips. so
3:15 pm
longer term they realize that they're gonna focus on europe and also try and keep your up in the us apart. so there's, there's even more complex political issues of play as well. a complex issue just gets more complex. hicks, you've pointing that out if it couldn't. and now turnaround was. so you're watching d. w use coming up next in dw, and use asia when lead is in the pacific countries doing at the state of sound. that's in lithuania. the ranch manager will have that story a more after a short break. i've been since it was an invalid. thanks for watching the . every jenny is full of surprises. we've gone all out to give you some time. one day in the course of the rectory that.
