members, you can get lots more news on our website that's at dw dot com. the europe is the fastest woman continent on the planet side to say the temperatures are rising twice as much as the rest of the world. feeling more and more extreme weather cleaning more and more locks last summer was the hottest on record heat related debts. $61000.00 and this summer could be even worse. national governments, including germany, have a plan to flag global warming. should there also be a plan to beat the heat? i bridge off in berlin. this is the day the, it's really hard. i've got asthma to this. he is terrible. it's usual for me to leave the country because of the heat. but this here is the top on like you can

flying really let me put it that way. they weren't nauseous there. these the, they don't the way they want some work to see. so you have to over at least 5 minutes, we need to stop drink. uh, as much water as you can. i've drunk like a gallon of water. it's too hot. yeah. i'll say coming up in germany's new foreign policy, these of each showing how beijing became berlin's ultimate frenemy. they listened die out. we need to focus on our economic security more that many companies that make themselves, particularly dependent on the chinese market, will increasingly have to bear the financial burden of this risk music will to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin today with southern europe's sweltering heat wave

temperatures on friday and into the weekend. are expected to surpass $45.00 degrees out. see if that's a 113 degrees fahrenheit. southern europe is trapped under a high pressure system that is moving north from the so hard. a dome, potentially deadly desert heat named severe after a mythological, 3 headed dog, which guards the entrance to the underworld. but authorities say the health thread here it is real. they are urging residents and towards the likes to be cautious. now, the summer of 2022 was the hardest on record here in europe and forecasters expect this summer to be at the least a repeat. so i to say climate change is a guarantee for more extreme weather, including heat waves hotter, longer and deadly year than the floods in india, spain and parts of the us wild fires have been raging in canada since april,

more than 9000000 heck to as a forest of band, and more than 150000 people have had to flee their homes. at the same time, heat waves have been scorching europe, particularly spain have one of these umbrellas here. and if shop owners allow, you can stand in front of the entrance, there's some cold air coming out. i mean that we just drink a lot of water. we have no other choice. it's really side. this is climate change. and we just have to get used to it and somehow it's a crisis that has long since become a reality across the globe. 9 made the climate change is making extreme with the more likely. yet north all extreme with a can be attributed to a heating planets. for example, according to climate models, the heavy rain and northern italy earlier this year, once more and 10 so likely due to human induced warming. it was actually

unexplained, the 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 climate change. and when it comes to 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. if a more now i'm joined by elizabeth michigan, the chief executive of the royal media were logical society lives. it's good to have you with this again. are we correct when we attribute all of these extreme weather events to climate change? i mean, is that what we're seeing? so yeah, so most of these events that we've seen,

the rec codes being broken around the world tends to be attributed to climate change. and we, we have a method that we can do to, to, to scientifically and look at how we attribute these extreme events. so for example, we brought in models with all the human and just greenhouse gases that we have put in the atmosphere. and we see how likely these bends, these events also happen. we also good models. we've out those greenhouse gases that we have puts in the office for you and see what the likelihood is that, you know, the world could produce these kind of events. we found those human induced greenhouse gases, so we get these figures of things being a 100 times more likely all twice as likely to happen. because of these studies i most teach events are attributed to climate change. many of the flooding if i saw, but not all, as you said, it was an interesting study from the recent floods and nobody to leave, which was attributed to human injuries, climate change, but many of, and it's a, it's a suddenly a growing area of science. but it allows us to really science,

if we look particularly extreme events of the impact climate change is happening. we saw last week, these new record average temperatures being broken one day after the other. and now we're seeing record highs here in europe. when do these high temperatures, when do they become life threatening? when should we be talking about deadly new record? todd's as well? they all ready. and so if you look back to the heats of items that we have last, some of the heat wave events across europe. when now see in scientific papers being published to be some paper in nature, shows that they were over $60000.00. expedite acts across europe during the heat waves in 2022. so we can actually look at the dates of the real thing. so it's actual tax of people from the city, but even to in this heat wave when picking up, you know, people are, you know, there was a, a, some, a gentleman, a full, 2 year old mom died in albany tally. he was working in the,

in the extreme pizza and unfortunately at, you know, both he takes ocean and himself passed away. so we see, you know, happening in real time. but we're getting these studies that actually can, you know, look at the, the, the number of extra tax because of the extreme heat events that we've been seeing this year. i'm blessed to these extreme weather events live, you know, they, they're becoming the new norm. it's almost a regular pattern now that we're having to live with. are we prepared for this to be? do you see national governments taking action to adapt to this new norm? so yeah, so there's a couple of things here. i guess the 1st thing is, is, is government action to actually try and limit said a woman. and we know we, we talked about this regularly but, but there isn't enough action now at the moment being taken by governments of businesses and by ourselves as individuals to mitigate against climate change. i'm, we're seeing our climate change and around us. so we have to become much more

resilience and adapts without changing employment. i'm not 6th street in the challenge and because a lot of the time it requires a large investment into the infrastructure around is because in prescription was built on the climate. there was probably 30 years ago not to come in climate and certainly not the future climate. and we have to adopt for our health as well. so you know, it pops up, know when you were not used to these kind of extreme pizza events up buildings a, a backs key because we're not cool. and so we have to think about how we, we manage to manage and keep ourselves healthy and fix it even in the process. something positive you that way. you know, they do get heat, spend some time, some they don't see these kinds of extreme temperatures, life threatening type of pictures, and you've got a red heat, helpful going out across many countries across the southern you, if at the moment. so you don't go outside even between 11 and 4 o'clock, don't go outside, stay in air conditioning buildings. that's how dangerous it's. yeah, and of course is that is if you have air conditioning and we know particularly in

northern europe, most people don't. elizabeth with the royal media, logical suicide lives is always we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. it's the climate active is got in the way it to major airports in germany earlier today. literally for testers, blocked one way using hamburg ended. so during the delay in flight, for thousands of passengers active is from the last generation environmental group are demanding that the german government do more to cut greenhouse gas emissions. climate activist breached a security fence and glued themselves to a runway. their actions halted flights for several hours. angry passengers who got an apple. that doesn't take any precautions any that well, anyone can just walk in. this time, it was climate activism. the next time it could be terrace to climb the fence.

thing that you get the protestors from the last generation group say they wanted to draw attention to the climate crisis, but they're protest coincided with the start of the summer holidays. in hamburg, several passengers said targeting ordinary people was the wrong way to achieve the group's goals. is put and it hits the wrong people. it's a shame that doing this on the 1st day of the holidays when families are looking forward to taking the long awaited holiday. the trustees, i understand, be active as they are to be the opposite of what they intended in the beginning of the holidays and families are happy and looking forward to going away. i understand the climate approach has to have sympathy for them, but not in this way. last generation activists have repeatedly blocked traffic by moving themselves to roads in cities across germany. the group say their unusual stance are designed to highlight environmental damage and press for more decisive

action to counter global warming. in the past decade showing that has made serious in age of influence across africa . chinese economic ties to the continent are now on part with those of the us. but china is not alone. it randy and president abraham, where you see just wrapped up his 3 nation african visit in zimbabwe. right. easy was meant by, as in bob we and presidents, emerson and then god will add her rory airport. both countries are under us sanctions, and this visit is partly aimed at building new partnerships to soften the impact of that economic punishment. why you see has already visited kenya and you game so what is the wrong looking for in africa? i want to pull in now, danny, to turn that it sees with the institute for national security studies and tell a b b i also spent time is head of the

a ran branch and the research analysis division with the it's really military intelligence. danny, it's good to have you all into the program, but you know, the west often sees china as the main rival in africa. russia is also seen as a competitor there as well. do leaders need to keep a closer eye on what your one is doing? there, so most definitely i think that the world, especially the west united states, you are really focusing on the chinese and russian activity in africa and dental neglect. the ron and and flu run ask because extreme pulse in continental. it's not only the, the fact that the vast t, a minority all over uh, africa country especially with stuff because one month to protect as a to tell that protectable stance around the world. but it also goes to the fact that you run through a lot the resemblance between the ron itself and the concussions, because both of them are citing colonialism in the past against imperialism. so

they things like minded countries. so they're taking that into account and try to make that like, you know, within your, in your discussion to appear with discussion and the other day. the trying to find a way to bypass the sections, to use sections and also iran, as we make. and remember, want to export these capabilities as um, sales to us to go into these testing to see over here. so we can assume that you're on, we'll try to sell to kenya to kinda susie, bob, what are the countries 8 to capability? so in that regard, he's extreme quoting for a run and can i add one for the senior partner? i see itself as remember, a run has a previous president present to connie does actually try to call the. ready to open the relations between the wrong and the west, even the united states, nobody sees a different player, isn't, was very conservative, a president and was trying to do is neglecting the we should all dumpy, shes all on climbing and actually trying to do the opposite. meaning, try to interact with the east, especially china and russia, as we can see today in ukraine. but also asked what kind of south america. so i see

visited south i'm central and make a couple of weeks ago in africa. and actually, since the cation what he's trying to do to, and how this kind of cooperation between to run and the applicant comes. and it is what he's doing, i mean, is it wrongs interested in africa? isn't a purely transactional one's interest about business deals to help be the sanctions or is there more here as well? it's, it's more in the fact that the iranians think that they have the same as the ology . you know, the issue of, we are conquering the width, we are only the same boat. so inductor got the basic concept is more, it's not transactional. but the run wants to that is towards the action of in the way that it seems that you can manipulate the can exploits african countries. that gets it from sending to bypass sanctions to find ways to him to reach it. the poor economy that you want has to date. so the trying to use that in the, in the on to and if we can, as it's also the side with you on the right to counter west, some,

the friends in the, in africa and especially the east. well. and we can see that in how we want support . so example of julia, a huge war in against the local extension of guesswork by supporting the quotes. are you a movement in that you were since our so in that regard that you weren't trying to pushes back the us as well as the west and east west, and try to see how we can conquer, you know, way i'm, and i do love to be a, the countries, the gnostic, a wisdom used to its own benefits. yeah. and that brings me to the abraham accords which, you know, so israel sign deals with long time enemies and to help stabilize regional relations in the middle east. is iran, what it's doing in africa? is it looking to make it or the chords have a high price to high up a price for anyone thinking that they would might want to, might want to join these records? for example, are definitely, and we see that we've couple of congress,

best oracle and actually what the and you want to try to do the transaction. like i mentioned help a julia, we need to come to really pay, make, create america, pay the price for 2 months, nation activity or agreement with the sake of his ro. but it's not only that you run some rates in other countries. let's think about interacting with the ease with form. ask a couple examples. a country is a, you know, like more we can use that interested in the jump into the wagon or. yeah, because we know that you want to think of them as well. and it, we see now you run is trying to influence it. so it could be because all of these into done. so, and that's, we got this as you run. it's trying to push back and you know, my station efforts, the, or trying to prevent countries to jump on the wagon, the codes african countries. let me ask you, before we run out of time, do you see the us and its allies? i'm having a plan to push back against growing and radian influence in africa. unfortunate

the know we see the us suddenly restriction is becoming more interested in africa. we have the do, you have to consolidate the december and the white house? we had the high ranking visits for me, usa members from as the ministration coming to africa. but they're mostly focused on china and russia, the trying to push them back and not trying to push learning back in a really seem to price. it'd be that there's indication to the fact that the needs to be of some sort of unified, holistic prodigy that can push back you on air force and enough because because it's all going to stop. right. so he has a plan and strategy is going to come in that and result covering it's emissions and you have the date there was succeed. danny is the trend of it's joining us tonight from intel of these. i'm fascinating analysis of what's going on in africa. the any thank you. thank you very much. i. it's for the us is hammering the point. we are not the coupling from china, but we are

d risking from china and down there is diplomatic language, which means we've become a political and military rivals. our economies. however, remain intertwined. can't live with them. can't live without them. well, the same applies to germany. china is germany's biggest trading partner, former transfer uncle, a miracle. she succeeded in separating g, a politics from big business. but a lot has changed since she left office. here's germany's foreign minister on the bare buck on a new course with joy. they listen die out. we need to focus on our economic security more than that. so that means that costs the risk of the don't just impact the individuals, but rather impact the entire national economy must be minimized, look easy, it mission lines and that stuff is going on because i'm the folks with us companies that make themselves particularly depend a name on the chinese market will increasingly have to bear the financial burden of

this risk. is it cold cash that they've discard and miss and the part of the economic security is that companies need to ensure that i see that in their supply chain. and they are aware of the human right or move to phillips and ensure that they are not violated is 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 rights, i, that's about this will also have impacts on, on european countries here. so in time, you are doing a pulling now, reinhardt, vertica. he is a driven member of the european parliament for the green party. he's a member of the problem, it's for an affairs committee. he's also an expert on china. just a bit of cover. it's good that you're on the program. let me ask you this germany position on china. do you buy it d risking instead of the coupling?

we're going to have our k getting it to is that gonna work? well, the 1st place, the coupling was never going to work. and you can see the by just looking at how often and chime or the us chamber came out in favor of the complex models single time that it was a political slogan. that was meant to mobilize some people. but it was never real book be risking is real at the risk and as an answer to the fact that you cannot anymore as smartphone fall and she could separate security issues of business. and we have to acknowledge that john, that has been willing and still is willing to use economic leverage that they gain over other countries to co. ers, those countries. it's happened to japan,

south korea, to australia, at least when yes, we the no way, many other countries. and we have to reduce that risk. and is it going to be a successful reduction? i mean, china is germany's biggest training partner. and what we see in the strategy is that china or germany rather wants to keep those close economic ties at the same time, it wants to be politically less, the dependent or connected with china. i mean it can germany do one and achieve the other at the same time. we cannot just continue business as usual and been expect that we would not drop them risks. that is certainly a contradiction in itself. but the challenge is particularly heavy for some of the big multi nationals that have just put too many eggs in that one chinese

basket volkswagen. for instance. they do 40 percent of that. they're trying already in china and they rate 50 percent of the profits from china. the come back. and because volkswagen is offices stomach relevancy in the german economy. no government could afford planning. going folks want again go down the drain. so in the end there is a risk about the tax payer would have to put the bill this and they the government would not be prepared to do that. that would provide perfect leverage for china to push us where they want to have us. so that should totally have to be for as analyses of, well, the most part cement risk slide, like then we have to come up with the proposal. how to deal with. i'm just saying

the risk and not doing anything about it. right? well, lab work, let me give you an example that i, mr. bennett cover. um we've got hallway, a chinese tech company that the united states proceeds as a national security threat. the company is currently responsible for 60 percent of germany's 5 g networks. does this arrangement align with the new strategy? 60 percent of your 5 g networks? basically you're provided by your or by china. no, it doesn't. and it doesn't align with the law that we have in the blue stock, which provides a for a test of the vendors, whether they're trustworthy and qual way is a trustworthy vendor. so the dodge of 10 and comb has tried to get away with the product, but they have been in bed with all the way, and they fall off that politicians would never enforce the law. i think they made a wrong calculation. we have to face off qual way from the 5 g network. so that's

very clear. i wanna ask about tie, well, i'm the, the strategy stage that germany is actively working towards de escalation. if china were to invade taiwan an action that it has threatened to do in the past, how should germany respond as well? first of all, you should acknowledge that's taiwan. as i mentioned quite a few times in the strategy about this strategy sets of steps to strengthen our cooperation with taiwan within the framework of the one china policy. and i think there are 2 colors on which we have 2 of built try. one policy, one would be to hold on to the one china policy, 2 reviews of supported any ideas by going the direction of taiwan independence and all the other. how we have to invest into our efforts to deter china from

ever going to where you said that might be willing to go. they will have to make the calculation whether they're willing to run the risk in a bad that wouldn't be connected to such military adventures. and this pertains that in particular, to political and economic risk. and i hope we will be able to convince the chinese leadership that every january 1st she didn't think comes to the conclusion. well, maybe not this year. well, we will see if that happens, come the next january, 1st, reinhardt vertica, as always, is a good coverage. good. talking with it. we appreciate your time. i appreciate you staying up a little bit later on this thursday night. thank you. thank you. i as well, the day is almost done. the conversation continues online. every member, whatever happens between now and then, tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then if it. but the

one tragedy to many vincenzo luciano had beneficiary, man in pro tony easily for 40 years. he was one of the 1st on the beach with more than 80 people drink since then he can no longer pursue his work. the

drama of the international rescue g policy destroys so many laws. focus on europe, the rainbow brandy. it's definitely trending. but not all companies are serious about their support areas. some companies can face harsh criticism. brands today that embrace friction, they've gone up against the criticism, but this stood for something in the end of actually what a great deal of brand loyalty from the next generation made in germany. in 60 minutes on the w, the, the, the

smiles, me to the, the the, [000:00:00;00] the is this focus on europe. hello and welcome. it's
