more than 70 people in a 7 metre ding a which disintegrated as we understand it virtually. upon departure from the french coast, it is re ignited the plain game between france and the u. k. with britain saying, france means to stop these people from leaving in the 1st place and front saying how about a little more money to help us put more patrols on our side of the border. and there have been agreements between the 2 countries to this effect, with budget conversations and all of that. but obviously it's not enough because this year alone, more than 20000 people have succeeded in making these crossings. uh so what really needs to be done. everyone agrees is to target the criminal enterprises which are earning untold amounts of money praying on people who are in these precarious situations because it appears that as long as there's even a shred of hope, that they will be the next successful ones. they will keep getting in these little rubber days a terry sills for pushing that from front. a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world in germany is boosting it's ada senses was one
1:08 pm
of the world's most advanced at defense systems. germany's trump salon defense minister will present the what's called iris t. s l m. a defense system today in the northern states of fleece before this time, it can protect against drones. at croft and cruise missiles at defense became a hotly disputed subject of to russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. sullen has also delivered iris t systems to ukraine. the final enquiry reports on the deadly london high rise fire in 2017 has been released. it's concluded that old 72 to send the grunfeld tower could, has been avoided. and the damage resulted from a chain of said is by the u. k. government dishonest companies and a lack of strategy by the fire service rescue operations continue in southern india are often monsoons and major flooding. killed thousands of people,
1:09 pm
thousands of people in the southern provinces of tele and gone now. and under a per dish, had to leave the homes to shelter an emergency come a full my aid to the new york. the governor has been charged with secretly acting as an agent as be chinese government. linda, son and her husband allegedly exchanged information and exchanged for millions of dollars in gifts including meals of go made duck. they pleaded not guilty to the challenges. a host of african leaders have arrived in beijing for some is that good further strength and china's influence across the african continent. prizes and she's been paying is expected to of african nations to take more chinese goods in exchange for pleasures of new trying these investment and loans. but many of the african partners he's coursing one more favorable financial times as that precious mountain than china has invested billions to access africa's wealth of oil,
1:10 pm
compa cobalt and other resources, building roads, railways, unplugged facilities. the project ensures the swift on efficient transfer overall materials to china. while the countries in question obtained the structure, the benefits start economic development. but the boom is now of many african countries have gotten into debt trouble. and they realize they have to cut back on the amount of loans they're taking out because they will have trouble retain them. as a result, the whole built, roader initiative has slowed down in africa. but china is presence on the continent still fall around strips start of year of the turn of and then you know, the trained relations of many african countries was still dominated by europe almost 2 decades later, the situation have been completely transformed. that economic dominance is part of china strategy to become the world's pre eminent superpower. while many western
1:11 pm
phones are put off by the higher risks involved, chinese companies and enjoyed state backing. that's one of the problem. this is the west spaces, is the private um, or direct. foreign direct investment depends overwhelmingly on the, on the private sectors of europe and united states. whereas china has a stronger ability to manipulate the amount of foreign direct investment that goes in. the government plays a larger role in addition to traditional infrastructure, the state affiliated technology, joint one y is also involved. expanding africa's telecoms networks. chinese companies are also trucking the consumer market with low price phones as well as clothing and cause. that said, europe has launched an initiative to make up for lost ground. and to me, at least in countries,
1:12 pm
are also fast growing. investors in the african continent. china has lent african countries about a 170000000000 years since the year 2000. that has left many countries sidled with debt, but then now struggling to pay back, kenya, for example, has had to increase taxes to help pay it. that's. that's the move that's resulted in violent protests. so what is it the kenyans want that president to achieve in china? the w's east africa bureau chief, mario miller, put that question to young people in my robi, i dare say it was no talking n c is going to vote on being mindful of development, but it's not going to, i mean, do you know the problem you facing the money? yes and stuff. yeah. in those people so i don't even go for pivoted to to go out to the grass. so go out to my lives and then i should finish paying what we owe them 1st before getting the next loan. even even though the money would help us,
1:13 pm
we should 1st pay back what we have borrowed before asking for more. many canyons are painfully aware of the downsides of seemingly attractive infrastructure projects. findings by china. like the $5000000000.00 railroad that was supposed to transform pena into an industrialized middle income country, connecting and with it's made by uganda. but the track stuff showed up to go to because of unpaid debts. the project became in famous as the prime example of the pitfalls of boring corruption and mismanagement. the right away is just one example of large scale infrastructure projects, financed by china. that critics say, when neither financially viable nor to the benefit of most canyons. this elevated highway connecting a ruby with his international applewood has also been criticized. the tax payer was fat and with the costs, but only a few canyons can afford the ride citizens. would it be so to see the money invested in health care or education?
1:14 pm
china is can use biggest lender by country. it owes aging $7000000000.00, mainly for the development of roads, rails important structure. experts say the continent is homeless on china's easy money, africa. now, is it a cohort zone? and can, you know, of course. so we know that even if we go broke, we couldn't get the money. so this, that, that cycle china also now when you go and get money from them, then they do not really a so many questions so that i may have, they don't tell us, you know, just a tax people, them, they don't really, it's a fairly, the internal affairs of the country, it's nothing to pay off its debt to the i. m. s. kenya's president william due to proposed tax increases. there were widely unpopular and let to months long and debbie protest across the country to this post at the end and the tax hikes and does no again, i'm less complicated loans from china struggling under
1:15 pm
a cost of living prices and unemployment. young canyon say they've had enough of china finance prestige projects that lead them and future generations in debt. instead, they want more drops they should be able to incorporate it to the union use. they should be able to give them and which in systematic on most would benefit from these. i'm very disappointed. i feel that to our government has nothing to sending to us means that not being taken care of. and so i expect to be a natural impedance. uh, as it goes ahead to which includes a negotiated use on behalf of the government that i don't get to see the benefits and to get to see very professional in which i feel as i, as a tax banking in 10 years told the debt is equivalent to 2 thirds of its g d p. interest payments alone are eating up more than a quarter of the revenue. it connects to that and the economic crisis can use and don't leave william root too much choice in negotiations with china. other than to ask for even more loans of service a board because,
1:16 pm
but china could do more to help african countries to escape the death cycle coming towards industries here. that even if we don't have the 5 minutes to do the finished product. but it's kind of adds value so that we don't just ship out, you know, roll my to use. then we can have more jobs for africans. and so we don't have to keep begging, you know, and, and, and trying to emigrate to other countries that are more developed. china is focus for this summit, has now shifted from financing big infrastructure to green technology. the energy canyons hope this time it will benefit them more and we can get more now from general as hobby and fetch my who joins us from beijing hobby and tell us 1st of all how the chinese government is framing these tools. yeah, it's china definitely wants to present itself as a diplomatic power that is very active on the world stage. and that is yeah,
1:17 pm
supporting the global south. i think that's one message that the chinese government wants to convey, and it also wants to represent in a ton of to, yeah, world or to a different from the west. china is always emphasizing that. look, we don't have a colonial past. um, we are not morally giving you any lessons. we don't ask any critical questions. we don't care about your political system. we're here for programmatic cooperation when, when and i mean that's of course um the, the, the messaging level and the reality. it looks much more complex, but i think really that's the message that it china wants to send out. look, we have developed our economy and if you cooperate with us, you can do to and yeah, that's what they want to send to the african countries. what here in between, so trying to saying basically go with us because it's easier. but if we look at the practicalities, china is given massive loans to build ports megan projects across africa. paying
1:18 pm
butler's loans is clearly now proving difficult. so how is china planning on working with his african trading pond is now yeah, there has been clearly a paradigm shift. so the problem that has been repulsed it's heavy on this, the deck trip that you know, applicant countries feel that they depend too much on, on, on china, that they cannot pay back the best that they have. but i think from the other side, vice versa, it's also quite problematic. i mean, chinese techs pay is also not heavy. happy. how carelessly in the past the money has been spent. and the basically many of those big infrastructure projects were not successful until 2017 really, china has been lending mess up for the and i think that came out of a political um desire, but then the cash with economic reality. and now um the spending as much less, i mean it has decreased metro fee since $21819.00 and only now um it has returned
1:19 pm
a little bit. but the new paradigm with the chinese government is saying it's called c o r mae which means small. but beautiful episode indicate that now we look more careful on which projects we finance the most smaller on a scale, but in terms of quality they are yeah, higher. okay, quality, not quantity. so in that new frame, what, what products in particular, does china want african nations to by, as well, i mean, the chinese, uh, consumer electronics definitely is uh, gaining a lot of ground in african markets and also tex type products. uh, a popular. but i really want to, um, uh, i think it's important to look at the scale. so the whole of africa, china trade volume is comparable with the trade volume of china and russia or um, a china in germany. so it is not, at least if you compound a country to country level not is so important yet, but to, for example,
1:20 pm
what is really um, strategically important for china is that africa can provide what can help to secure a, china's food secure to you. and that china does not depend anymore on the west for doing so, or it can get ram into roads from combo. for example, in that regard, china definitely has a strategic role that plays in the eyes of aging and fabi. and is this just an economic relationship, or is a china also hoping for more military ties with african countries? what, there are many security corporations that china has with many, many african countries. and it's also no co incidence that the only um, or the 1st military base outside of china, off the people's liberation army as an effort. come. so that's the military aspect . but i think the really main point of, of also this farm that we have here, and paging is um, global influenza. so china wants to have a network of friends in nation. so for example, when it comes to votes at the,
1:21 pm
in front of the united nations, then it once s money as many countries as possible to back up at china's positions, for example, with taiwan with human rights, etc. and i think that is really one battle ground that china is rivaling competing with the european union and also with the u. s. and who has more influence in africa and in general in the global self, i've been say to my reporting from beijing probably, and thank you so much. i and work as the german called john sludge side and have voiced outraged at the decision to pull back. jo guarantees here in germany, a meeting on wednesday between what because management began with a protest against the measures. the company is also considering a factory closures in germany and a bit to cut costs. the seo all of the blooms says the cost cuts on necessary because of quote, highly challenging situation in the car industry. and we can get more on
1:22 pm
this from these dina from dw business who joins us now from the folks fun headquarters where that meeting is taking place. marie, how all things, the presumably fairly tense yeah, the mood is very gloomy. a lot of serious faces just left us worker council meeting here. many people didn't actually want to speak to us us and those that did really were astounded by the tension between folks like management at the end the work or is that became clear at this meeting. one worker we spoke to a said that many people were doing the management people were shouting off and he does in which means good by and german when folks like management got on the stage and another worker we spoke to said he's, he's worried, he's worried about his job, his family depends on the job here. another worker as stress that the speech by the
1:23 pm
head of the workers counseled anita hello. we. he felt very represented by the speech that she really found strong words and, and that he was happy that she did at this at this very meeting. can you tell us more about that? what we've heard from the head of the works council of the union of the yeah, uh the new like a vinyl. um said that this potential closer um of plans is essentially a declaration of bankruptcy. so really strong words that she chose here. she also criticized uh for its loggins' management for prioritizing the costs of these plans and of these workers in there are kind of plans for change instead of maybe focusing on innovation or bringing parkside back to the really year end of, of technological progress. and so she said that plus signs management has the wrong focus here. she also reminded everybody of the meaning of these floats. loudy funds,
1:24 pm
not only for workers, but for german communities. she spoke of 2015, 2016. the dealer gave scandal. when parks lag reduced the output here in germany and reminded everybody about the repercussions that had 4 communities here in germany that have less tax income and less wealth overall. and she also said that as long as she's head of the workers council here, there will not be any planned closure. so a very strong words in what's important to note here is that what's unique about folks that is that workers representative for 50 percent of the board seats. so they can actually block these types of management decisions to find in common ground between 4th flag and management and workers will be essential and today didn't seem like there is a common ground. and the reward is the w management saying about what led to these decisions being made well plain and simply producing quite strong cars has become too expensive in flux,
1:25 pm
flag is selling enough. so manufacturing and labor costs are in the right. rise and demand is shrinking as people's budgets are squeeze by inflation. so especially these more expensive parts on cars aren't selling as well any more. but the biggest worries the biggest, well a fox log is the fact that it's losing the electric vehicle. race like, soc, is a traditional company with success as built on the combustion engine. it has over a 100 factories worldwide, and it's really locked into kind of nimbleness. and it is speed and innovation that's necessary that has well, for example, other electric vehicle carmakers have and that's becoming a big problem portfolio starting especially in the biggest, most important market sign where it's being overtaken even by home grown chinese electric vehicle makers like b, y d at the moment and that's really putting a squeeze on products, flags, budgets, and volkswagen management. the thing we need to cut costs dw is marie senior
