slicing, social norms seeking is self determined. goals escape from drudgery and abuse. start august 5th on dw, the w e. news line from berlin, joe, by mail, tomato unity out for a summit with nor did leaders with an eye on law scale the us president, valves over whelming americans support for the alliance. you also expresses a hope that your friends counter offensive confront negotiations to end russia's invasion. also coming of the united nation says

a mass grave has been found in some local people were forced to dispose of the bodies in the mass graves denying those killed a decent burial. and un says at least 87 people were killed in a massacre in west star, 4 and blamed apparel, military and southern europe. welters, a heat wave is pushing temperatures above 40 degrees celsius. torrance are urge to take care and hot spots from rome to the really good to have here with us. you as president joe biden has reaffirmed his commitment to nato's newest member finland to as he wraps up his visit to europe speaking. and they'll think he vitamins that he, us and finland are working in lock step for a more secure pass for the world. is that the north excitement which also included

sweden, denmark, iceland and norway address challenges including clean energy, regional security and technology. the talks came on the hills of this week's nato summit in lithuania, with the war and ukraine high on the agenda by and said he's hopeful that negotiations will bring the war to an end. so i don't think the working going for years, for 2 reasons. number one, i don't think that they are, the russians could, could maintain the war forever. number one in terms of their resources and capacity . number 2, i think that there is going to be a circumstance where eventually present food is going to the site is not in the interest of russia economically, politically or otherwise to continue this war. but i can't predict exactly how that happens. my hope is an aspect tasted as you'll see that ukraine makes significant

progress on their offensive and that it generates in a goshen settlement. somewhere along the line, charlie, so long as passed, her neck is a security expert at the finish institute of foreign affairs. welcome to the w, w as president job i had called send them an incredible asset tomato. today. what do finland and the other nordic nations bring to the table in the lines? for a few different things. one is a broader sense of security suicidal resilience, which we've seen in ukraine, has been the core of an actual defense capability. and then there's the military geography of sac. you're a couple we said in, in bill know that finish and swedish, made to membership changes radically. the entire military geography of northern europe, not just the nordics. and then 3rd there. and there are very concrete military capabilities that exist at the moment in, in finland. you know,

the fully mobilized field army is larger than germany's military. 280000. a fleet of over 60, modern, fully ready and capable of fighter jets american ones, new ones f, 35 is coming. so there's a real military capability. and interoperability which has been built over 30 years of nato finished partnership the border finland, shares with russia is over 1300 kilometers long. how has the sense of security and the country changed since it's showing nato? if you look at polls finish, feel more secure, of course going forward, finished. assume that it is up to finland to ensure that we have a robust defense capability. but in the future, if something were to happen, both of the terms component. and if that fails to defense components, it will be done together with others. now on a daily basis, of course, i don't expect feelings foreign policy. these are the restaurant to radically

change because of nato membership. there's still a lot of practical things that, for instance, finishing russian border guards have to communicate about every single day. and in the end, it is russia's decision on how it creates its neighbors. we've seen in the tragic since of ukraine. what russia sometimes thinks of its neighbors and that view of its neighbors is probably wired over 80 percent of fins are very happy that finland is now and they tell number. mm hm. but they do not want to lean. so we on nato. how is finland preparing for the still existing possibility of russian aggression? while we, we kept on like most european countries and national mandatory military service for men. this, it resulted in the fact that there's about 900000 reservists just a few months before the war expanding ukraine. finland decided to buy over $6060.00

for us f $35.00. the finish navy is having produced at the moment a new class of ships. and of course then the land forces. the army is creating more and more with sweden and norway, estonia, united states, in germany, to be able to, if needed. no one wants a war, but if needed to defend finland together with others. how do the nordic nations feel about the result of the nato summit in vilnius in respect to ukraine? specifically, the sim, seem to be that the assistance to ukraine that is agreed on. it's of course, by lateral, but the commitment to do with this, the idea that ukraine's nate topass is now e 01 step path as a separate dental salton berg said and is a g 7. security or shortens are very good things in the northern leaders and just

today said they support this approach and they're working on their own kind of nordic version of what g 7 said. so i think you have to read it as very encouraging . and i fully expect that all of the nordic countries also by laterally will continue there. she mounted terry and aid and military aid to ukraine. but finland, for example, was very much in favor of a stronger message of support for ukraine, wasn't it? well, here i, i, my sense is having been feeling that there were certainly some members that would have wanted to even see ukraine is. and they told me, member myself from a research point of view that would have been hard to see how that would have worked to get consensus around that. but there were also nato members who wanted to give you credit and much less collectively. so we probably ended up somewhere in between, and i think finland as a new member is also partially feeling its way through. how do you do kind of

politics with in your, within nato as a nato member? this is one of the things will, of course, be following in the poll. political and research world is how does finland's natal profile evolve over the coming months in years or at least along his pastor and act with the finish institute of foreign affairs. thank you so much. thank you for now, the other news and the united nations human rights office says it has found evidence of a mass grave and so don's west star for region. at least $87.00 people were buried there last month. and you and office says it has credible information that the break away rapids support forces paramilitary under allies carried out the massacre . as, as many of the bird people belong to, the non air of ethnic, most solid group, for bodies were dumped into shallow graves, near the city of elgin 9. now, i think violence has escalated in recent weeks with rival military factions at war

for months now. safe not gone. go as a spokesperson for the you and human rights office in nairobi and i asked him a short while ago for more details about the discovery in west r for as well was spoken to witnesses will have fled to reach on. although can i know the kind of who could i end with the for region towards a charge and they gave us the score assistant. uh uh, 50 monies of um, the deliverer, his probation officer, barrio of most came up to sleep. people in the cemetery email, dana, you, as you know, there's been a lot of fighting a tax on civilians in getting a, from the drug. a couple of the forces fund stuffed up by a, there are around on a musician and many, many buffing, cute. but when they, when people up in cute, they also christmas prevented from being buried from it in the cemetery and have

a container. and that's how it is. now, the end of the tech is forcing b b to just to, to throw them in these beaches. and so we found this critical way because of this one specific must graphing project least 87 people have been up in bar. and can you tell us how this mass grave is connected to the finding? are these people sought out and targeted deliberately? yes indeed, there is time to get to us a deliberate targeting of civilians and uh, and typically disconnected because people have been killed in this area. a very large numbers by the honest, a funder, the allies, and what the odds inside to enjoy is there what you can give them the take mutual being bothered by their loved ones in a place that they kind of go out and peasy done to give it a degree find value, and that's usually call us on disrespectful placement of the dates,

which is the best step volition of international law, is what has made us come on today very quickly to spotlight the situation and to in the hope that it gets investigated on those as possible, have top com and it doesn't come in again. the r s f has denied responsibility and says it will cooperate with an investigation. how credible and offers this well, we welcome all of us putting this together on this, but investigations have to be in by so independent and effective wait for one. so we also self, i'm not here to save that communication from them, but all investigations are welcome and hopefully those as possible. i have to account and this doesn't happen again in decision on anybody else in the country. i mean, i'm going fighting facebook and go thank you so much. he's a spokes person for the un human rights office in nairobi. thank you very much for

germany's cabinet has approved its 1st ever strategy for dealing with china. it's biggest trading partner with also a potential jew political revival. the new policies of german companies must be risk or reduce their dependents amazing without cutting off co operation. reason supply chain problems and human rights issues of cause concern here in berlin. germany is foreign minister and are they not that bulk introduced the strategy the missing die out? we need to focus on our economic security more. 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 minimized. it means lines and of itself is an example. the folks with us companies that make themselves particularly dependent on the chinese market will increasingly have to bear the

financial burden of this risk to the cold cash they act. vips garden mission. and the part of the economic security is that companies need to ensure 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. the human drives 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 rights and that's about this will also have impacts on, on european countries here. so in turn, in a short while ago, i asked to go use chief international editor richard walker. why it took the german government so long to present its very 1st china strategy? so yeah, it really did take a while doing it. i mean, they talked about this in the coalition agreement, which they signed. and i think, i mean that that box hadn't, has peach the today. 83 weeks ago, they said that they wanted to come up with distress jeep here it is. finally. i

think the fact that they took so long points to a few things. first of all, that the content is pretty controversial, that you have quite different views. within the government, you have the foreign ministry, which is led by on the bat book, which is known as being pretty critical of china. pretty whole case of pretty keen to, to, to have a profound we think of relations of the other end of the scale. then you have the chancellor ease of the bosses office or ourselves, the chancellor. i'm very cautious about relations with china. not wanting to rock the boat too much thinking. i mean, all of the economic turbulence of the world, the seeing right now the germany can't afford to, to really, really hack away this relationship with china, which has been so lucrative over the years. add to that the fact that they've also in power low being working on a national security especially which took a long time coming the broad question of national security. and it adds up to a slow process. but i think one thing i would definitely add here at this point,

nicole is interesting that they publish this strategy in the middle of the summer holidays so, so the parliament is on recess parliamentarians and not here to debated. impala and the fact that lena babylon announced is on her own. she did not have one of jolts at her side. she did not have other ministers at her side. unlike recently when the national security strategy was announced, when you have should wait, when you had shoals, when you had bab up, you also had the defends, administer. the finance minister, the interior is all that. all announcing is one thing. so it feels very low key, almost like this. government is not holding this strategy up is a really flagship policy, something that the counselor's office in particular doesn't seem to really want to have it handle. mm hm. there is a new buzzword. so looking at this, the risk, it's not the coupling anymore, it's be risking and the chancellor has also used it room repeatedly. what exactly does the risking mean from the german perspective? so yeah, so the risk being is

a ton that almost every western country in japan is also talking about it now as well. the g 7 really had recently had it and that communicate it's a time that or the country to manage it kind of go gather around. one reason is that is pretty vague and sounds good, right? you want to reduce the risk and relationship with china, so that sounds like something which is absolutely sensible. the question is, what's the risk and what's not a risk? and there was some questions where that is seem is relatively clear. for instance, the fact that many german companies and companies elsewhere to reliance on china for up to 90 percent of, of, of, of the, of some of the key kind of rule materials that you need for high tech products. the so called read us. so this idea that you cannot be so dependent one supply that it being, i'm sorry, on this lesson from the russians invasion, if you trains that germany was way too dependent on these natural gas and had to really deal with the major for that that. so that's one risk that everyone agrees on too much dependency enrollment to try to diversify that. but there are other

risk where it's debated, for instance, is it okay that the chinese state shipping company, costco bought a steak in japanese most important hub or recently in ham. but the chances are things that's fine. the foreign minister did not think that was fine. is it okay for huawei to have such a big presence in germany's 5 g network and that is the basis? is it okay for jim and cock companies to get such a big chunk of their profits from china? many think that's not okay. so uh well, i'm sure it seems to think that it's okay to leave that to the markets is up to the companies themselves to work through that risk so that we didn't this time the risk that issued originally interpretations. and there's not total power coming out of this strategy. the strategy really could just give us kind of pointers, rather than necessarily giving real yardsticks to measure these things. do you watch the german chinese relationship very closely? how does this attempt to be risking match the fact that just

recently china assigned a number of heavy weight contracts with jeremy's business leaders? yeah, so is this happened just recently? the chinese government was here for consultations with the german government. the 1st time that they've done that in person for several years, because of the pandemic coming in between. and you had all of schultz, the german chancellor and who's chinese counts. but after signing sermon, he in the business ministry here in berlin clapping away as say, these as volkswagen, as bmw and other major german companies, that ceo set down and sign deals with the chinese side. this was seen as a real sign of kind of business as usual and to separate schulte standing there and clapping away while these deals were being signed. kind of giving an implication of state support for these relationships. the state blessing on this kind of major deal between the 2 sides of the same time in this china strategy,

which we've just had a launch by. i don't even a bad book. she is being stressing that gemini is trying to kind of put the brakes on it's in place. it support for doing business on that scale. with china, for instance, the capping, what you call the investment guarantee. so if a big german company wants to build a factory in another country, germany is now tapping the guarantee that until now the insurance policy, if you'd like, they've offered for deals like that to $3000000000.00 euros per company per country . so saying that is trying to tweak the incentives, which until now from germany, have really kind of been oil in on china trying to tweak those incentives to, to have more of a kind of handled with care by the over them. but it still is going to be potentially a mismatch between what we see from all of sholtes as a very cautious of this, trying to keep the business relationship going. trying to does that come out on top of the bat, bulk approach of trying to reduce these risk?

we don't know yet. we're gonna have to see of the coming months and coming years. how much would impact this strategy really has? but a lot of people are saying the fact that is that and the fact that is right in black and white as a message to business and to politics is meaningful in itself. germany is never ending tightrope act. that was the double use. richard walker on germany's new china strategy. thank you so much. i or i think it's a quick look at some other stories making news around the world today. talents front runner to become prime minister has failed to secure a parliamentary supports beat looms or roland rods was the only candidate. it was block's fine military back members of the senate. a 2nd vote is expected next week if he had pledged to reform strict laws, protecting the monarchy and to reduce the militaries in hollywood actors union, representing more than 170000 workers is likely to announce a strike after talked with film studios over a new contract collapse,

the heavy rain and northern italy earlier this year, once more and 10 so likely due to human and used warming. it was actually unexpectedly rare and fierce weather event for the region. on the other hand, extreme heat waves in northern africa and southern europe last april, with temperatures up to 20 degrees above normal, with different. they would have been almost impossible at this time of year without the climate change and when it comes to be severe flooding that had pockets done in 2022 model suggest the global warming increased drain full intensity data by 50 percent. the event affected 33000000 people and destroyed 1700000 homes. residents of the janine refugee camp and the occupied west bank are repairing the damage after israel's military launched its biggest rate there. and more than 20 years. 12 palestinians and one is rarely soldier,
