i to sign the news was incredibly like this is very different, providing you with free information dw made for mind the this is the, the, the news live from the land comic of volkswagen say's it'll close factories in germany for the 1st time ever. employees say the company is planning to shift at least 3 parts of the country. building fence about germany's backbone call industry . also coming on the law, your donald trump levels, more attacks on pamela harris that are rarely in new york. as democrats slammed the events of a racist remarks. so how would a harris or

a trump presidency impact india? we'll discuss the implications for the indian economy and what it could mean for bi lateral scrimmage. the hello i'm to see more the welcome to the program. the head of folks foggins work is console, saves the call giant and tends to close at least 3 factories in germany eating. so the loss of tens of thousands of jobs pro fun, has never close to prompting germany before. the announcement comes off of each of you reported a 14 percent drop in. net profits in the 1st half of the yes. and ended a decades old agreement with unions on job security. now the company has been told with unions as a cost saving plans, claiming weak sales for forwarding profits. now that's despite paying for the whole

city and gurus to shareholders lost you and for more on this case. so the sent from data values. business desk is here with me right now case, this is huge. it's huge for folks walk in, but also for the gym and economy. it really is an i should say at the beginning that folks funding has not yet confirmed these reports, but it hasn't denied them either. which i think is very telling is really hard to overstate how much this mattress box fucking is a global icon. it's really synonymous with this made in germany brand. and what the company is nice thing is we can no longer make in germany, at least not in the way that we are used to doing. so i think what we can really learn from this is, in terms of the immediate impacts, we're talking about tens of thousands of jobs off of the 3 out of 10 of, of the companies german factories. but more broadly, this is a really big blow to an industry that is very much at the heart of the german

economy. and so it, it bids the question case, how did we get? i think it's a perfect cocktail of problems, to be honest. so obviously the diesel emission scandal in 2015 did a lot of damage to the v w front. but that is not the reason that we're here today . fundamentally, the company just failed to stay competitive. it was really slow it to embrace electric mobility like another, a lot of other german carmakers as well. and alongside this sluggishness we for china is rapid, right? so china has been a really important export market for german carmakers. and for a long time, they did very well there, but what's happened in recent years is that chinese companies has be making their own very high quality cars at much lower costs and german carmakers, especially folks like have really struggled because of not now on the other hand you have chinese brands that are now entering the european market as well, and thought has just been too much for folks fine to deal with and they're just not, not able to stay competitive right now. could anything prevents or turn the

situation around at this stage with german unions are very strong and they have to fight, i say is what strikes as necessary. but when you think of the problems that 55 is facing, yukon, divorced them from what's happening more broadly. in the german economy, things are not good right now. growth is very sluggish. germany is far less competitive internationally than it used to be. it's not considered very innovative to be honest anymore. and these are all problems that the government has promised to address, but it's going to be an uphill battle. and it's one that folks funding is saying, well, we don't really want to stick around for this. i think going into the wider economies as you've just done for us here we've, we've heard from industry, they're looking increasingly towards political decision because so to rescue the grim situation that you're describing, what is it that german companies. so mike's a volkswagen. what do they want the governments to do here in general? yeah, well that's a really important point because of course volkswagen isn't alone and it's problems at the moment on german chancellor, all efforts is actually called a summit this week for the has of big german companies and he's promised to listen

to them. what they want is a few very simple things. they want more investment, they want less red tape. they want to make it easier for farm workers to come and work for them. and that these are all things that the german government has that it wants to address, but the results are very, very slow and coming. and another thing that they want is political stability. and if we look at this summit, the salt has called for this week. he didn't invite his economy, economy minutes circle, but how back and he didn't invite his finance minutes or concerning the boat from different political parties. and even those about was that min, now the finance minister called his own some us for it has of a company. you know, this to me does not look like consensus based politics, and i think this is a really big problem. and so you want me to call me right now. well, to you and many people, i'm sure, watching all programs bookcase, we'll leave it there for for the moment as we have a thank you. that is kate ferguson from dw business with her insight. thanks case,

it's now to the us election, where the trump campaign is facing criticism of a mass rarely in new york city mach by himself and racist rhetoric. the event in madison square garden was billed as a closing message. diverse is but trumping his allies, leveled wild attacks against his democratic rival, coming to harris and one speak, a joke that puerto rico was a floating island of garbage drunk. so in the heart of the blue state, many of the drums, big supporters appeared at destroy, lead at madison square garden in new york. but its course milan, your drum, was the surprise guest. it was her 1st appearance at the trunk valley in the 2024 election. she was the one who introduced her husband to the speech strong and the drum tact is open and subject guards were full. you're in office next tuesday, you have to stand up and you have to tell comalla hours that you've

done a terrible job. said good joe biden has done a terrible job. you've destroyed our country, we're not going to take it any more. pamela, your fire, get out. fire large part of speech for me. she is regular. my position one day one. i will launch the largest deforestation program in american history. i will rescue every city in town that has been invaded in congress and we will put these issues and let thursday criminals in jail and they kick them the hell out of our country as fast as possible. just because the things that the democrats complete it being offensive, there's literally a floating island,

a garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. yeah, i think it's called puerto rico mean by vice president coming ahead is been sunday focusing on the state of pennsylvania by campaigning in philadelphia. the election of the year. and that's on billy is truly in your hands. the path to victory runs right through all the leaders. we're here there is too much on the line and we must not wake up the day after the election and have any regrets about what we could have done in these next 9 days. left. spend the next 9 days knowing we did everything we could just meet fitness stores in philadelphia,

making the final efforts to ensure support from the east wing state during the candidates for the white house embodied to velocity different visions for america's role in the world. india, a t us partner is watching the selection closely and assessing the potential impacts of the trump or paris presidency entre defense and bi lateral ties. as the deputies, charlie at this reports, i don't normally even america, we soon choose one of these 2 candidates as its president. the results would have consequences, not just for the country, but for countries that on the would photos which are wondering who would be a better choice for them coming to harris or donald trump as one of america strategic partners in asia, who would india want to see in the white house, countries like it and they are gone really have a preference because they have to deal with whichever candidate is elected. the

end of india is an unfortunate place where there is a bipartisan consensus amongst the republicans. i'm the democrats to bid is the relationship with india. why move in from having to establish relationship from his last presidency? trump has been known to flip flop on policy decisions. so when india, which is a very big abuser, how do we send company and event comp, court, india, a very big abusive and prime minister mode, the a fantastic man. in the same breath in a trump presidency, we would expect to more isolation. this policy from a medical over drawers, trump has said that he will use doris to ensure effect, treat for the united states, and to reduce imports into the united states. so obviously trade could become a friction point in the trump administration,

as it was during his 1st presidency when it comes to recent geo politics, movies, bundle needed, put in, hasn't gone down well with the biden administration. us had hoped and deal with condemned russia parts invasion of ukraine, but india has been data and on the line stones, trump is supposed to be more forgiving on this front. and he's repeatedly promised to end the russia ukraine board if elected williams here as well. groups the media that each one we had me, the one to me i have is this father comes from jamaica. her mother was born in present day tonight. exploits say that she will bring with her a culture of familiarity to india us relations. but i'm like from, she's being vocal about contentious issues like human rights in indianapolis to,

to push me in. devising administration has been quite to carefully in terms of handling those issues and has given priority to the strategic partnership. i'm the g o strategic jewel, economic convergence between india out of the united states at this time it's come law gives us more priority to human rights. and these issues of this touch issues, you know, democratic black back sliding and so on. then you would see that the relationship could become a little more dense. uh though i think both sides, we've tried to navigate around the defensive b does the public and don't know tom or the democrats coming to hire. so the white house, india would be an important partner for both, especially in the pacific,

which the united states has called essential, but it's due to security and prosperity. right, are you, is an indian born journalist who writes global opinions at the washington post. i austria, who she thought would be the best like us president, for india. i think despite the stock going to us between the 2 candidates, from the highest, i think the freedom defense relationship with india might be the subject. will abrupt changes have something to the elections or are for that matter? i think the indians biden's arch, you know, jump was in india, english rock. you would have been, he was president of america and he shares agreed upon hall me um uh, regardless of movies as opposed to come to how does we do your on the board? i mean, we have put in the bus that she has to be very good to go to about issues like need human rights violations. so i think them would be governmental,

people would cripple, i believe, a don't from over a what a job i didn't because if you've seen the last one month to before more the wasn't the us for the meeting a bit. but other leaders divided administration. mitsy got through this in the white house. it also leaves us giving us really just freedom report just because the movies arrive are also given some of the highest it's critical approach um to what's happening in india. i think india before drum and what the boats trump in movies. did they disney going with the multi big bad news? no, not in goldman. so i feel like it is the that board while we might think is something that into your group or more, the more the government is before right now. and, and just approaching it from a sort of a geopolitical perspective as well, staying on that thread. um, how much to india and the united states need each other as allies, as i think of both of them meet each other because china is like the size of this

in the, you know, the best needs in the, as a blue box against china. and i think it does not change, which would of who would add an inspection comfortable with this, but that it's going to hide his or some people both need india out of that i live is that we try no same for india. india also needs to predict interest is born of interest to join us the most like one common enemy old with the brick, somebody they did try to make these. but the bottom line does for me that india china relationships getting there will be normalized. i think so in that sense, um it is the us would like to have the collision ship with india, especially also to get us a hold of a visa video point in which it has been, you know, disappointed with the big summit where there was great fun home in india street and on a line of means that'd be, that'd be best you know, what, what happens is if you see in the i've just the board was against joining now. you've been completely disregard, but human rights violations in india. and which is why india has been given a free boss, you know, due politics and obie, a jumps, everything which is,

which is going on in india. that's where people in india, i've been saying that movie has been given a free body bible. this despite getting human rights violations and democracy backs ladings, i think that is going to be overlooked by either administration for this coming, the highest or donald trump and india is going to be a very keep. it is what it takes, maybe. so i from the brief summary that india is going to be a very deeply off and us, irrespective of there's some problem, i just want to keep and do on site. so in that sense, when do you see any challenges that could get in the way of that relationship between india and the us? is this the same? i think um, you know, every country is trying to be in the out because of the way to strategic. he plays right about you. can you, the prime minister of residency? lensky has condemned what india has been during these abbey russia, as i said. and,

and the united states has been seeking in the support. um, so i think that is a big off of, you know, there's a bit of friction of that at this point of time in this much needed um, by all countries. um, in the i would have to walk all types will to at this point of time because of the go to the extra to do shoes. feelings of the transnational. beginnings of canadian, um the canadian um, you know, separate is uh in canada and the report being made public. um, so i, but i do think its not going to pose any significant change to brand mr. moore. the, i think he's going to be booked by always bought, knows what it is, china or russia, or maybe could find something that position. so i don't think the face any challenge and upfront is that is the gen list, runa, are you talking to us from you? it's the same, much appreciated brenda. thank you. and here are some of the stories making headlines around the world. the false bu, john mcdonalds says,

has confessed that north korean troops has been deployed in russia's coast region. the announcement followed a briefing with south corey and intelligence officials, nature chief laquisa called the development a dangerous expansion of russia's will and the sign of letting me a pollutants growing desperation. this. this was the 1st video that emerge as evidence of the presence of north korean troops in russia. it appears to show soldiers receiving uniforms and equipment at the military base and the far east of the country. according to the u. s, at least 3000 troops were moved into russia in mid october, travelling by ship from the one sun area to vladivostok, and then on board to multiple training sites in eastern russia. the soldier is deployed to russia, our lead forces rather than conventional troops, military analysts more. we now move on toasty w. we're talking about and ministry in special forces and they are the best trained

amongst the korean miller tree. and, and what's korea has some, $200000.00 of so so it's, it's just the fraction of a 4th. most korea could potentially send to russia, and these forces could liberate the russians in the rear. according to ukraine's intelligence agency, the 1st north korean troops already arrived in the russian course region, partly held by ukraine since august. russian president vladimir putin doesn't seem to see the need to deny their presence anymore. when ask about satellite images apparently showing those korean troop movements putting said this new to images of a serious thing. if there are images, intended reflect something new to it that i should in june restaurant. most korea aside, a landmark defense packed and pledged immediately provide military assistance if by there is a tech analyst say in exchange for military support. most coke would share

a sophisticated weapons technologies with young young to help improve its ballistic missile capabilities. in addition, the noise, korean forces would gain battlefield experience. but to put the north korean troops make a huge difference on the battlefield. experts have told us, it's depends on how they are deployed. they need to be trained on russian equipment . and there is also of a language barrier. yes, but the most sets of presidents demonstrating rushes rolled us with the keyboards towards building an anti western coalition, a challenge to queens western partners. but is there anything need to can do about it? nato doesn't have a specific strategy on how to deal with russia. now we have moved korea joining in making this situation for me to even more complex and strategic terms. and this will be something for mark road that to resolve and for, for, for the members. the are no simple answer and smarter we now move on says,

but to need to and it's members will needs to react. the involvement of north korean soldiers in rushes, war and ukraine quit, to transform the war into a global conflict. a. d w's, brussels bear chief erics under phenomenon file that reports. and she told me more about the implications nations confirmation has for the war between ukraine and russia. well, christine nato, a chief ma includes made. it's very clear today that from nato's perspective, the ongoing involvement of north korea and troops in rushes for a new queen is seen as a significant escalation. she described it as a, as a threat that both a country knows korea and russell are deepening their cooperation. he spoke about a dangerous expansion of rushes war against ukraine. and this meeting that was held here at nato headquarters was of course held behind closed doors. so

the information show it, there was quite less of 5, but we had a chance to catch up with one of the ambassadors present at the meeting. and she told us of that, even the presence of the north korean troops in the course region that is part to be held by ukraine. and forces is seen here as a major breach of the you and security council resolutions. even though he also said that for now, there is no co per know confirmation that the north korean troops has joined the flight on the battlefield. how nature parking is likely to react as well would be a hearing, is that they are continuing discussions about that. what kind of actions need 2 quotes it take? however, the question is, is there anything really they can do?

and they, of course, cold on north korea and russia to immediately cease their actions. they will be consulting with partners in the, in the, in the pacific region. but the question is really what kind of measures that they can take to react. it's, of course, important to understand that the crew, crucial thing here is to get more information about china's role and all of that. and the out china is going to react. and with be a hearing about this and meeting held here today. it's natal headquarters is that allies on know focusing on how to provide more help for ukraine. and that's a seems to be an important issue at the moment as well. right. that is alexandra phenomena. the deputies russel's beer, chief of 14 for us at nathan
