is on the figure out, what's the real new deal just reimbursing the watch now the this is dw is life of the job and as jobs website, as a surprise visit to ukraine or the actual speech blues, ukrainian soldiers in the hospital and to nonsense and youth ministry, a package for keith. first hundreds of millions of people also in the program. joe biden. really jo for crowds in case of the presidential todd for gun and the tax defenses. after promising not thousands of workers from germans dot com, manufacturer states of massive stride. why on what's at stake, volkswagens the

feel welcome to the program of a chance of the whole life schultz has been in keith on his 2nd trip to ukraine. since russia's full scale invasion, the chancellor announced the new 650000000. your reference package, which includes ad defend systems. you said you how many would remain ukraine strongest supports are in europe of would be active side for as long as necessary on trump's election when the united states, as cost bouts over future age from keeps the biggest benefit supply. the united states is more on the german chancellor statement. mine doesn't have to me. i might visit the keith today, made one thing very clear to me. the people come in ukraine will prevail. the well, i do mean it was a day of a lot demand. our hot, it's hot,

so if you're you repeat in family with you glory to you cried will in turn presidents the landscape stress the need for germany's taurus crew has missed files to bolster his country's defense is against russia, which but lane has repeatedly opposed videos of the dying yeah. down to show the taurus issue, of course, you know, old off and i have a lot of common views on some issues. and we have different views on some issues. and i think you might, but that's why we are constantly working to make sure that we have more common ground on the taurus issue. it's, and this is a challenge for us. and then us decide the most so as a security expert from that king's college in london who specializes on the post soviet space. and i welcome back to d. w. how much difference do you think the slightest package of the german military

support is likely to make on the battlefield? i think it is always right. um and uh, i think it is very important to have additional community support. i don't really think what is in this package at the moment ukraine. it's as always a vision that i'm mission i to marry. and of course, uh ideally would need a long range massage, which, you know, generally is probably not gonna provide at the moment. but i think there is evidence that i receive this package or thing fluids. iris i added, sends a send, so that could, that could be very helpful for protecting some of the strategic assets of your grade. and also it's potentially saves energy infrastructure. i'm done with a non way to also, you know, to free some assets and protect the front lines. i think there is also evidence of help. hard times might be provided. i'm. those could be also helpful on the front lines, but uh on, i need itself for this support. i'm, you know, where the,

where are you coming? it may be, you know, it's not gonna be the reasons i gain change that, right. i'm not sure if long term support for your brain to see that they can really make a difference on the bathroom. lots of questions about so one of the criticisms jeremy has suffered from is that it makes it a not as budget. we're saying we're gonna give you all these billions. there's millions and aid and there's there's, there's been a criticism. the barrier said a lot between announcements and the stuff actually arriving as yeah, i think that always happens. but if we look at the numbers that have been provided, for example, by the key institute, germany has been one of the most significant providers may be creating a grain has provided around 10000000000 euro since the stock is the one that's price significant. second to the united states, which are pointless for learned. oh, well, when we're looking times of promise on delivery,

germany is not doing so badly. so i guess it takes time on. sometimes i notice from my son who doesn't that rise. but germany has, has been a frag effective sofa when compared to other countries in europe, who have some, probably small on deliver that not nice. so i think the german in that respect is, is not sort of the, the by super name that's number. i think that really showing them what kind of weapons germany would be their neighbors. another question mark is, is whether this problem as well. so 5, a change of government here in the land as the german government falls upon, it seems that i mean not, i'm not an expert on german politics, but it seems that there is a chance. got to see the eclipse and democrats might be meeting in the fall was and i thought that you could see that that could be, chances are on display

a number responsible for the off, you know, providing you create the grain, including the towers and i so so i think they raise the high challenge id, she becomes then, you know, john. so now that i know might continue, and that's the rate they support on what is also interesting is, you know, the defense name is a time defense and it is also gonna support it. so if we find ourselves in situation whenever you use that sort of our, our brand coordination as happened during the time. so then i think we can see this supporting system. so i'm, i'm not so worried. i wouldn't be so worried about that. i think that the general problem is, what was the united states do one good thing provide continued support, because at the moment in europe, we're not able to come back for what the americans i provide. and i just thought i'd make one time i did what to ask her about that if be with a suspends,

it's age to you cry next year. do you see europe and countries that by germany being able to fill the vacuum as always, hockey, i think there is a note that europeans can do is they have 2 bedrooms. so, a couple of years ago when the war broke out of, you know, we could have seen much more, you know, much better position not ready, you know, to the right way to, to ukraine, loss of sanction. i think we're doing efforts around mission for vision or amount of jewelry, but there is some issues around, you know, overall or you can tell you just an overall support that the americans are providing. which at the moment we really do not top with these kinds of things, any just these essential operate on the boxes and on. so i think we, we have to work in that respect and ensure that i do have him level. we streamline out production. we introduce the companies of state, we specialize of production and we don't kind of routine to our production. sort of

not, because at the moment, europe's fig tends to operate up nation and that we have like, uh, you're not within the zillow, you know, different kind of floor, you know, $0.27. i don't, as the economy says, no, i'm so you know what is really important. now i'm send you permission and $0.40. how he's going to make sure that we have that for your pm frontier system. and that sort of has been gotten back end isn't. oh gosh, per potentially what for the thing i so talking us through that so clearly demonstrated over to you, sacramento, so from king's college. and i will take a look at some of the store is making headlines now. a number of migraines, reaching spines, canary islands by sea. from west africa has reached an old on high springs. interior ministry says more than $41000.00 people, made the trip. so 5 this year and is struggling to absorb

a search warrant seeking back to opportunity. so you should see as far, right, national ronnie policy says it will back a no confidence votes expect the games. the minority government is 5 minutes to michel bonnie. 8 has purchased a social security bill through parliament, but he is at risk of being toppled by bibles on the left on the right. doctors in gimme a 2nd largest city. is that a quarter? i say uh, thousands of people have been killed in classes to football. much witnesses, a violence broke out, dropped a contest with decision by the, by re as a funds invited the page and sat a police station on 5 soldiers in queensland, australia sees more than 2 tons of decay. when a smugglers boat broke down the whole, how to sail volleyball was tossing 1000000000 us dollars. please say it's a crib until almost 12 millions street the popular market for border control drugs and the outgoing us. president jeff, i'm dispatch. who signed a possible present to him by paddling him on to bite and cut?

a face that he is behind boss with tax and firearms defense is just by has been having to criticize, but he says the case was so politicized. you have no choice you as president joe biden leaves for an overseas trip just hours after announcing his pardon his son hunter bite and had previously said he would not interfere with the judicial process. but on sunday, he went back on his word in a statement biden's that his son was being unfairly prosecuted. calling his conviction a miscarriage of justice. the president accused his opponents in congress of politicizing the case. the hunter's legal trouble started in 2018 when authorities began a federal tax pro on his overseas business deals. then in $22300.00 was charged with lying about his drug use on a fire arms application. still, he accused the republicans of unfairly targeting him and his father had nothing for

6 years. i've been the target of the own relenting trump attack machine shouting, where's hunter? well, here's my answer. i am here. there is no fairness or decency in what these republicans are doing. they have lied over and over about every aspect of my personal and professional life, so much so that their lives have become the false backs, believed by too many people. hunter faced decades in prison after pleading guilty to tax charges and being convicted in the fire arms case. sentencing was scheduled for mid december, but the presidential pardon gives him a clean slate by due turn is being met with criticism. on social media, president elect donald trump asked if the pardon applies to those convicted into

january 6, riots, and said it was a miscarriage of justice. even though trump himself had pardoned several of his allies well in office. while it is common for outgoing presidents to issue pardons at the end of their term, critics warn this one. so that's a bad precedent to work as a volkswagen. here in germany have launched folding strikes and an escalating dispute with one of the country's biggest employers. unit id metalli has described . the app has colby action in protest against planned wage cuts and possible funds . enclosures, comp make assessments, being hit by spiraling manufacturing, costs and competition from china. despite pay not billions of yours in dividends. it was i felt stronger factories across germany, size, double cost plus they are demand, pay increase job security and the factories to keep the doors open at the plant. in

one of the a huge worry is that this facility isn't denture. really startled by this is or least the most of the muslim views about, you know, is the what do you like? sure. but obviously it starts at 14, come a thoughts of all the way on the other hand, poor the as the as a one plus coast model by the 50, the know it's a quite different. i got all of the reasons and that's 5 isn't really in the impact of the strike. volkswagen said they are in emergency mode to ensure deliveries. but the unions here are pledging a fight into the winter. they're pledging two's going. strikes on massive strikes, starting in january to pushing management towards better deals for workers because they want to avert plant closure and keep wages at the level that they've had

before. the german autistic tardy is also one of the country's biggest employees. almost 800000 people are employed in factories the cater to the auto industry. the market size of the industry is more than 300 feet in new york, so the impact on local jobs is huge. industrial, ty confessed log in and other big names like spent on to step authorized and sick to an are in trouble. dispos stuff times a hit for european automakers. finally, they run up to christmas as officially begun in many parts of the world. this past week cancel the 1st day of adventure and seasonal markets traditionally open that gates. i mean, seriously annual i've been inside the festival in relation compet, tens of thousands of lives. well, that's fine. the markets have transformed the city into a winter of power. the ice sa grab story sports as is expecting more than 800000 international visitors 26. we expect. one of the highlights is to pop of ice rink.

of mine because no one should have to make up your own mind dw may feel mine's the at the end of september, hurricane helene slammed you to the us state of north carolina it cost blackouts across the state, but then something unusual started happening. not everyone was without power. some electric vehicle owners could keep the lights on because the car battery started powering the hearns. it was a pretty cool solution to a pretty specific problem. but this could be the start of something much bigger. it turns out as a way to connect up thousands if not millions of costs like these into a single virtual power plant that can charge up and introduce cheap and give that power back when it's needed most. it's cold because a grid, and it's a pretty great solution to a lot of big problems from keeping your lights on,

reducing your energy bill to making sure that the entire electricity grid keeps working properly. here's how it works and why it might not be long before it's everywhere. okay, to understand how this unassuming thing can do all that we 1st thing to talk about the grid. it's everyone's favorite, john global network cables and power stations that lets us do pretty much everything in modern society. and the way it works is pretty simple. there's a stuff that goes in from fossil fuel, power plants and renewable energy. and the stuff that comes out, which is the electricity, the to charge a v and watched this video right now. it's the job of grid operate is to balance that supply and demand perfectly. that way, you can always provide the exact same frequency of electricity through this joint network. if too much that's going in the frequency could go up and fire appliances to little and it would go down causing blackouts. that take a look at how much electricity we typically use over the course of a day. this part right here called take the month is like a usually messes everything up. that happens mostly in the evenings as we get back

home from work and turn on all our appliances right at the same time. but the day solar energy is starting to fade out. and this is what happens on the old plug in our rebates. it's like every house with a navy doubles, the amount of electricity is taken from the grid. multiply that by a few 1000000 cause and then add in the other big electric appliances that we need to start using like he comes. it's pretty clear that keeping everything perfectly balance is going to keep getting hotter and hotter now, but the problem is typically dealt with by turning on more fossil fuel tile tends to meet demand, but that's bad for the final. and it's usually incredibly inefficient. we made a video about how much energy gets wasted this way. the other big solution that doesn't use fossil fuels is to build batteries that can store renewable energy during the day and put that energy into the create any evening or whenever it's needed most. guess for a lot of new batteries and going into electric vehicles. this is where the vehicles a grid of the 2 g comes in. the idea is that electricity flowed from the battery,

the other chandra into the grid and back again as needed. the principal really quite simple. that's robin book an entrepreneur who just launched the 1st b to g enabled cost sharing service in europe with $500.00 e v. so i can send electricity back into the grid when they're not being used. if there's a lot of renewables, then your charge, your car dash notes, then you disrupt your car. that works because during the day the vehicles can charge up whenever electricity is cheap and demand is low, without putting extra stress on the grid. then in the evening when peak demand arrives, grid operators can tap into those costs as extra capacity to send back into the grid on days with a lot of sun wind. this can actually even make you a bit of cash. in some countries, good operators will pay you to charge you. your call is a need somewhere for that extra energy to go to keep everything balanced. then you can sell it into the electricity market in the evening to. now this all sounds cool over the past and your driveway. it becomes a really big deal and this thousands,

if not millions of cause with this capability. all those batteries suddenly start to function like a virtual power plant. let's say that isn't much renewable energy today, or people are using a lot of electricity. instead of turning on a back up fossil fuel power, plant grid operators can send out a signal to this huge network of car batteries. if you can send just enough electricity back into the grid to keep everything balance until the demand goes back down or, and you will keep back in just to get an idea of there like 8000000 cars. now going to 9000000 in the lunch. and we have just like $2000000.00 of them being directional, you can have enough batteries for the entire reduction to month. so you can just, you can shut down dash forever. so why is this already everywhere? well, there's the obvious thing, cost. b, g only works with a special bi directional invert, which would even need to be built into the call all the charge of when they made that and also need software and hardware to communicate with the grid operators. and for home charging, you'll need a small electricity made this contract,

the amount of electricity going both ways. all of that needs to meet extremely high standards expected of both cause and anything that connects to the grid. one child had an upfront cost equivalent to $5600.00 euro's per participants. but that same charles found that the annual revenue from storing cheap electricity and selling back into the grid was anywhere between 40800 years. so if those initial costs get cheaper, it could be profitable, much faster. then there's the battery problem. batteries degrade the more you charge and discharge them. using them as a pack for the grid would result in them charging and discharging a lot more frequently than they would from being used normally. and as an a, these battery degrades the distance, they can travel on a single charge, also known as its range, gets worse. so if the comedy factors were already competing over the range of that cause, adding indeed to g as in very appealing the advocates that this isn't a problem with the new types of batteries that will be coming this down to the new easy. it's just the mind,

phosphate batteries are typically able to go from full to empty and back up to full again, not as a cycle. well them $3000.00 times, which is more than double the amount of today's most common batteries. but once you get past the cost and battery problems, is the question of whether it's even legal, where you live in most places right now, there isn't any way to actually sell energy back into the grid from your call. and that's because regulate is interested in the idea, but pretty nervous about how to actually make it work. remember how important it is to keep everything balanced? well, controlling power plants. so wind farms is a little bit easier than thousands, if not millions of cause and charges distributed around the country, which only to be able to communicate with each other and the grid perfectly. it's your crowd to come to a battery on wheels. it's a complete new function of the car. and with that also risk risk and hold on. so if something goes wrong, then everyone is looking at the car. there are some promising things on the horizon . does it propose low in california to require by directional charging an old new

eaves at some point in the future. in germany's vice chancellor told german media that the regulations needed to allow by directional charging would be in place by january 1st 2025. but it's going to take a long time for the types of cause you can buy will make any difference. that's especially true because unless you live in your own standalone house with a personal chombo, this technology doesn't really make any sense yet. right now, most egos do tend to earn their own home or live in the suburbs which makes the 2 g a bit easier in the show to them. but if you live in a high density city in an apartment block, there are only so many public charges for you to leave you a call plugged into a month. so until we figure that out, there's another way to make a lot of vehicles in the city by directional very quickly. and that's by converting these. and these, and these big plates of vehicles was big batteries already sit around for most of the day and organized and operated on regular schedules. that's what the all the i did in the u. k. earlier this year,

converting to waste collection trucks into bi directional vehicles with batteries 6 times larger than typical calm. this small scale public trial approach is a way to convince manufacturer is regulated so you can see humans that this technology can work. and it's a good idea. they want to 1st decline it in a controlled environment. so it's, it's not a technology. you just add to a car and give it to the market. you really have to be in control. also as a karmic or the word might have, the biggest impact is where the most the visa coming online. and that's china. these are a big priority for the chinese government. that's in laurie. i'm a sucker who spent over a decade researching chinese industrial and climate policy. so all the incentives are there, right? they cannot make consent of the political incentive. they want to make this work. the country has started its own v t g trials, and the number of cities setting up by directional charges and converting bust rates in order to test how easily the technology can integrate into the grid. but mazzocco says if china decides to make the 2 g a priority,

all that test infrastructure could very quickly become to know that he's been traditionally a china has been quite good at allowing so local level experimentation. that's worked very well in the the, the industry, the trade system is very good at investing in infrastructure. so if there is something physical to be built, then i think you'll be a lot easier to see that happen. chinese or to make is like, be id already have some models with, by directional charging. and that's putting a lot of pressure on manufacturers and both europe and the united states to keep up the 1st regions of trying to slow down the rise of chinese imports through tars. so making that cosby g compatible could give them the competitive edge. so while it won't happen overnight, the days of seeing all causes just cause might soon be coming to an end. despite the high costs and regulation barriers, a lot of big players in the industry, a seeing the potential for technology like b 2,

g to change the way we think about how and when we use electricity. that could make a big difference for our wallets and the stability of all those cables, keeping all lights on. because if we do manage to electrify everything and the grid is going to need all the help you can get. so let us know what you think and the comments below. do you on your next call to be veto g compatible. and from all videos like this, subscribed to all channel the
