the stuff that you all up to date, stay tuned for a dw business with chris cooper. with a look at trade talks between the european union and lots and american nations. and don't forget, there's a lot more on d, w dot com and on social media at dw news. i'm on or who? well, thanks for watching. take care the every jenny is surprises. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police

the 3 times, but still very much alive. your guy to the special hot spots in germany recognizes where exactly it was fun. i have learned a lot of our culture history, all their travel extremely worth a visit, the european union and countries of the latin american america sort block struggled to reach a trade deal as their brussels solid, against bog down and differences over russia's boar and ukraine. will have expert analysis also i'm to show in german startup hopes its electrically powered air

attacks, can provide an environmentally friendly alternative to traffic jams and big cities across coble rocks because of over the u and countries of the latin american marcus or block has been working hard to finalize a long delayed trade deal, resolving the long stalls you marcus, the deal was supposed to be highlight the summit and brussels 1st 8 years, but the leaders from the e and the community of latin american and caribbean 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. mean, 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. let me start with you. have you seen any meaningful progress towards finalizing this trade deal at this 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, an infrastructure diversified logistics. a 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 grow the 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 need us have said that there really would like to see this being finalized by the end of the year or so. the brazilian president luna 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 and max with you. and you'll see a, 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 that 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 grain 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 the 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 you and, 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 the large markets. sometimes for some of these pieces. is it our cultural on subsidies will be hurt or as, and i called her producers in places like our own other ones 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 macro sore countries, they want to play a bigger role when it comes to training 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 those now certainly have their markets of threatened as well as there are legitimate environmental concerns. not so much under lulu 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 argentine and pair of why on the environment, christopher and 17, you have chatham house and dw correspondent. let's see. i shelton, thanks to both of you. it's been more than a decade since a mass of earthquake and they. so nami, caused the meltdown of 3 reactors at the nuclear power plant and for cushion mount japan knives. 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 ingredients. but that might not be the case for much longer. hong kong has promised a band sea food from japan, if the country goes ahead with its plan to dump, treated radioactive waste water into the sea. a move that would,

for some businesses here to re think where the 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. go you come up, for example, from taiwan, korea or australia, like, oh, okay, not 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 charged on like putting more meat in like single be for pork and chicken. less seafood. you're watching. okay. it's overhauling the menu would be the best way to cope 4 months. it would be kind of a time for me 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,

basically 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 again. um, when that whole phones i'm 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. the air craft are noisy, pollute the air with their exhaust gases and harm the climates. critics are, however, if the german started a bolo, comforter has its way in the nation could fundamentally change with the 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, or none of the exhaust fumes normally associated with a helicopter or an airplane. and it's so much quiet to, to it's 18 electrically driven properly or as produce little noise. the test flight that will look up to in the solving germantown 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 boeing or air bus long called 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 tongue god molar. come thursday, your dear clock your plans to stop the 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 lease begins free without the price, then we will go to rome in 2024. 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 wherever we will be flying in new, solve the rpm, and more importantly to the world. exploiting a psychology pen markup that 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 are obvious. and new 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, a reaction is undergoing a transformation at the private jet fair, the base in jeanette, where our competitors, such as video, are also displaying their concepts for environmental friendly, flying electric flying machines, could usher and the new, you know, where we ation the corporate solution is to fly without exhaust emissions and to make it affordable for everyone. some on phone gifts at the beginning, it's to manual labor to be at craft towards relatively expensive, but as soon as we enter serious production and we already have the factual ready 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 to aircraft at a very reasonable price. and this then also enables us to make the ticket price is accessible for everyone to get them on. so in terms of safety, the want us the operates according to the same rules as a conventional commercial aircraft for every busy and flight armstead can be a maximum of one serious accident. and that's our show. thanks for watching. have

a successful the they saw each forest fires with everything they have. despite the objection because their own family, this females find those places of the amazon sealants, even paid for the risk they paid. they still believe strongly and what they do. it makes them proud. global dw code is history. the future is hydrogen. the an old mining town in spain is leading the way to green energy with the largest hydrogen poms in here. it's expected to produce

enormous amounts of clean energy. but is there enough water? made in germany in 60 minutes on the w. 2 in the gym. love and binding step away from. but i'm not even allowed to go to my own car on everyone with later holes in every single day stuff. getting you ready to meet the gentleman enjoying me, right. just do it on the w, the brazil indigenous firefighters and not just texting wildfires, nobody is quite content. my husband was against it. he even wanted to leave me and they said he wants to separate from me because he couldn't accept that i'm part of this group twice.
