and provide and environmentally friendly alternatives to traffic jams and big cities, of course, cobalt because of over the you and the countries of the latin american marcus or block have been working hard to finalize a long delayed trade deal, resolving the long stalls you america. so the over supposed to be highlight the summit and brussels 1st 8 years. but the leaders from the e and the community of latin american and kirby and states could not bridge the differences over an environmental sped with brazil and argentina. and also how to respond to russia's war and ukraine media. that's good morning, this from dw correspondent, lucy shelton, and christopher a silva, tv senior research fellow for latin america us and the america has a chatham house. welcome to both of you, christopher. letting me start with you, have you seen any meaningful progress towards finalizing this tre deal at the summit? still, according to rumors, they have made progress on this. and of course,

the game itself is divided. france is a lot more resistant. germany is more supportive of the deal. but until now really it was, it was seen as a stumbling block, this new series of environmental agreements or commitments that were being asked. now at least lou lives in brussels and it's being discussed directly. so i think things are moving forward. okay, let's see a overview of brazil's present, the silver said latin american countries demanded investments and infrastructure, diversified logistics. and, and b, u has been promising to invest a mass of money in these countries. can you tell us more on the yeah, they're different strains if you want so. so 1st of all, the european union has been saying that they have would invest over 40000000000 years and the global gateway strategies. so there has been agreements done and are being concluded, so this is the one strain and then there's of course, the other topic that you may of course would deal. and as we've just heard that

there seem to have been some progress, at least the wording has changed here. a lot of he does have said that there really would like to see this being finalized by the end of the year or so. the brazilian president lula has said it could be finalized by the year with the end of the year, and that it would open up new horizons. and then still, the dutch prime minister margaret to said he's cautiously optimistic that this would happen. his country has been one of the countries that has been a very, very skeptic against this tre deals. so this is still a work in progress, but it seems to to be moving for the, you max, would you and you'll see a speaking of work in progress of ireland, voice opposition to the pending trade accord without new provisions on climate protection and deforestation. what does this mean for these negotiations that have been going on for years? so yeah, these are very complex negotiations. so on the one hand,

there's the european union commission was left on the line, has met as president and president with our yesterday. so this is the one side, but then they're also the member states and the member states. we have heard from some of them like island, but also austria, that their position, which is very skeptical, did not change substantially. the rating to look into proposals fed, president luna, has announced and, and then that would probably take it from there. so this is still a very much ongoing process, and it is not yet clear of what the, what the actual stakes are and is critical. member states completely on the sides. um to really push it over the finish line this year. christopher back to you. um. how do you view this uh increased confidence with which uh, latin american countries uh, portrait themselves at the summit impacting these 2 items. well, 1st of all,

i think that what they're saying is a real concern over food security and it actually rushes suspension of the black sea, a great exports sort of feeds that, that fear and lot america's is one of the largest food exporting regions in the world brazil is one of the largest is, is the largest beef export in country in the world. and so they're playing into really very powerful geopolitical dynamics globally right now. but also again, they get a chance here to talk face to face. and while there were some concerns over the environment and this language it's been put in, most of brazil as a point of national pride actually is quite upset about this. but now at least if they can find some way to slice this is a way to remove it, to a side agreement and develop some sort of compromise language. so really wants to open up this market. this would be the largest trade deal in global history, right? now, between the countries america, sure, and the u and is every cultural export is it opens up a huge market and even for industrial exports, st. germany, and always at all, it opens up smart markets. sometimes for some of these uses. is it our cultural on

subsidies will be hurt or as, and i called her producers in places like our own that the lens and the like. but overall the european union wants to turn away from russia and china. so as go to a trading partners, christopher, and as i understand you correctly, these miracles or countries, they want to play a bigger role when it comes to trading uh with the precisely and, and they can do that. but of course there are domestic concerns. uh for the e u member countries here. um it protected farm. farmers that are enjoying subsidies, they'll don't necessarily have their markets of threatened, as well as there are legitimate environmental concerns. not so much on the look in which deforestation declined by 30 percent. sensors inaugurated january 1st, but under his predecessor tribal scenario, we saw deforestation spike. so the real concerns about the climate impact of farming and the preservation of the amazon in particular,

all the other areas as well and, and amazon in argentina and paraguay on the environment. christopher's 17 year of chatham house and dw correspondent, lucy shelton. thanks to both of you. it's been more than a decade since a massive earthquake and they so nami, caused the meltdown of 3 reactors at the nuclear power plant in for cushion mount japan, liars, the tanks are close to reach their capacity, treated, but still slightly radioactive water is to be released into the ocean, the japanese government has decided the neighboring countries and businesses are locked of this authentic japanese restaurant in hong kong serve japanese dishes using japanese and koreans. but that might not be the case for much longer. hong kong has promised a band sea food from japan. if a country goes ahead with its plan to dump, treated radioactive waste water into the sea, a move that would for some businesses here to rethink where they source ingredients

and what they serve. they told me talk about them, see that our purchasing department has been trying to look at whether we can find products from other places. well, you come up, for example, from taiwan, korea, or australia, like, oh, okay, that's the one which one could. if it really doesn't work out, we'll have to stop serving some of these things and change the menu i get to. i don't like putting more meat in like single be for pork and chicken, less seafood. you want to know great overhauling the menu would be the best way to cope 4 months to the coach on board. we had to guide you through the changes amount to more than just the logistical headache land predicts, they'll cost them 10 to 20 percent in revenue. restaurant tours like lam, along with shop owners and suppliers, fear that customers will lose confidence in the safety of seafood. but not everyone echoes these concerns. no. okay, so you know,

we all how you buy off and go to japan and so i'm not that worried. i'm here now in a japanese restaurant. i trust the japanese authorities. i'm relaxed about it for you. okay. i'm net, sol, phones i'm in hong kong is japan, 2nd biggest market for fish exports after mainland china. more than 15 percent of these exports come from areas that were affected by the nuclear disaster. but until a band goes into effect, diners are getting as much of their fill of japanese food as they can, or aircraft, or noisy, pollute the air with their exhaust gases and harm. the climate critics are, however, if the german started a bolo comforter has its way, evasion could fundamentally change with an electrically powered air. taxi flying is proposed to become an alternative, to big traffic jams, and cities and environmentally friendly. one. on top of that,

when the state takes off or flies past that, and none of the exhaust fumes normally associated with a helicopter or an airplane. and it's so much quiet to, to it's 18 and electrically driven properly or as produce little noise. the test flight that will look up to in the solving german town of brookside is putting the aircraft fluid spaces. test pilot pulse tone has already completed more than 50 flights. with each flight the machine is improved. he says, and it's not as reliable as a boy or air bus long cold airliner compared with a heavy cope to it's much easier to fly. and the reason for that is because it has a digital flight control system that takes away some of the mysterious commands that it has to has and makes it very simple. so if you want to go forward, you push the stick forward. so if you want to go sideways, you push the stick sideways in this new really, you know, great to ton gone molar called dusty. your dear call care class to start mass producing the velocity. he's aiming for an initial output of 50 units per year by

the time of the olympic games in the middle of next year in paris. the em simone, to regular air talks, the service there with pilot studying passengers to and from events for the fee. the police begins free with the prize, then we will go to rome in 2024, all by the end of the year, we will probably be in single floor as well. and at the beginning of 2025, we will expand our international circle where we will be flying in new solve the are of you. and more importantly to the world export in a sack of japan. watercraft wants to make its concept known all over the world, even if for example, the future such a project. neil is controversial due to the human rights to ration and solve the r i. b. and you factory has already been established in blue stock. this is where the components for the want us to be mass produced, the company on to space high demand. right now, every nation is undergoing

a transformation at the private jet for a base engineer where our competitors, such as video model, also displaying their concepts for environmental friendly flight electric flying machines, could usher and the new, you know, where we ation the caucus vision is to fly without exhaust emissions and to make it affordable for everyone. on some, on some gifts, the beginning is to manual labor to be at craft towards relatively expensive. but as soon as we enter serious production, and we already have to factor already with which we can produce 50 aircraft per year. as soon as we go into this production, we issue a balance of scale allowing us to produce the aircraft at a very reasonable price. and this then also enables us to make the ticket price as accessible for everyone to get the ones who can in terms of safety to want us to operate. it's according to the same rules as a conventional commercial aircraft for everybody in flight hours that can be a maximum of one serious accident. that's our show. thanks for watching. a very
