now ukraine has mainly been dependent on arm supplies from the west. president donald trump, however, once to reduce support for keys and is demanding that europe step up, the continents arms industry has long been neglected. it also offers economic opportunities. what's the situation in germany? a contentious issue, but we'll be taking a closer look at in the show also in this edition of made, staying in the us troops return to oil and gas suite in underground heap storage and refugees. no return to syria for the time being the, the german arms industry is currently experiencing a booth. over the last 3 years. some stats have increased 8 fold. the reason

russia's invasion of ukraine has changed the security landscape. germany can no longer rely on the us as it once did and needs to become more self sufficient about its defense as part of nato. this means producing more high tech military goods for itself and its partners such as battle tanks, submarines, air defense systems, or drones. but is the german arms industry up to the task? and if so, what would the consequences be? since russia's invasion of ukraine in 2022 annual german defense spending has already risen massively from 50.4 to 72000000000 euros in 2024 and amounted to 2 percent of gross domestic product. it's likely to rise even further in the coming years of defense sectors of been under invested. uh uh,

since the end of the cold war. and we take long time to catch up and the to build the capability that correspond to today's chatting, seeing challenging security environment in order to fulfill orders in the coming years. german arms manufacturers will have to significantly increase production from companies like airbus, ryan baton, k n d s, and hens. and for us to come, this is a long term commitment and the industry was need public spending commitments of security or very sorts in order to uh to start production line. so we lines and it will last for long that longer than a year or 2. but in order for the german arms industry to achieve this, certain conditions must be met. the german government wants production to be as domestic as possible, so that supply chains are secure and the national economy benefits well trained

specialists must therefore be recruited and it needs suppliers for the individual components that also costs time and of course money. when or the name and the companies in the defense industry are expected to be successful in the future. they will also receive higher than use on the capital markets accordingly. so if the issue are more shares, they will also have a larger includes of financing opportunities. but they can also secure the financing from banks relatively easy, given the expectation that the government was spend more on defense. good find the future. i don't think this is really a type issue. a is that all this time lucas is probably a growing arms industry. would also benefit the economy as a whole. that is because other areas of the german economy would also benefit from supply orders from the arms industry. that's because of the tank like the german delivered to consist of different components such as steel, optics,

electronics and vehicle parts. and then there was the indirect checking, a logical progress that a stronger equipment sector can drive. for example, inventions like gps technology and the internet originally came from the ons industry, micro chip technology has also advanced significantly through its application in the military. however, direct government investment and technological advancement would be far more effective. and higher maintenance expenditure also means less growth in other areas . this isn't present. i was basically, it's a product that we produce put into clothes that i never use. again. what we gain is a sense of security. that's what it provides us. but otherwise, we can't use it any further on. whereas if you can invest in education, you can continue to benefit from well educated people as they become more efficient

and better contributing more to walk drugs and then offer the content as end of the best as and on the box to me again of the nevertheless germany needs to invest more public funds if it wants to become more capable of defending itself in the coming years, german politicians will have to decide exactly how much they should be. the arms industry can probably continue to expect record growth. that one is donald trump's most important election pledges was to lower the price of oil . he promised the price is that the pump, transportation and products made from royal and all of their many varieties would become more affordable. to achieve this, he wants to ramp up oil production and loops and regulations. the sector is cautiously optimistic, but environmental groups are protesting. we've visited one oil hot spot in new mexico. each stroke of the pump jack brings boil

energy and oil and gas. i put the city of hops on the map. the town is located in the world's most active oil base government and washington wants to keep it. i think that we're still in a boom. there's a lot of optimism around continued oil production, full exploration. jennifer grass time grew up in hops. oil put food in our family's table and on that of the entire community, if the industry to as well. so do the people traffic hills a great. uh we, we talked to retailers, retailers that are selling skilled toed boots are still selling and f r. clothing that is used primarily out in a little field. are they seeing their sales climb money seems to be coming in the

account to use the highest oil producing county in the nation. the business is thriving, not just here in the permian basin on the texas border in no time in history. has a country ever produced as much orland gas as the united states, currently, the new president in washington? once even more, that is why today i will also declare a national of energy emergency. we will drill baby drill. president trump declared an energy crisis among other executive orders to ensure a demand for fossil fuels stays high. so one of donald trump keep promises was to bring price down for food, for housing, for transportation. that's where a lot of people voted for it. and they also promised to bring oil prices down to price here at the pump by increasing or production. but it may not be that

more production means lower prices. that's not what companies want. i don't think that you will see any additional oil and gas production happen in the united states immediately as a result of the executive orders that president trump issued. the reason being that he doesn't control the primary things that they make decisions when they think about how much to produce. they look at the resources that they have. they look at market conditions. they think about their own financing situation, how much i progress were in the state capital of new mexico and sad to say here at the senate hearing is taking place that highlight some of the issues surrounding the oil industry climates. the bill brought before the conservation committee today, thanks to enshrine state emission reduction goals, going to law with one side, fearing environmental damage and the other worrying about job losses. state senator larry scott has more than 40 years of experience in the oil industry. running his

own oral business countries or the highest emitter issue, carbon dioxide, or richard regulations, he says, can get in the way the industry as many options as to where they expand their capital dollars. if those capital dollars are expanded in new mexico, that's jobs. it's a tax base, it's severance, realty taxes to the state, if the regulatory environment gets to the point where it is to order to do business in this state of capital dollars will go elsewhere with a trump administration. they're more likely to stay. what trumps political emissions and the needs of the economy don't always align. the president has been paving the way for oil and gas by using the permit process on federal land,

but only 12 percent of all production happens on federal land. he is called for our leasing alaska's fossil fuels, but the recent bits for oil and gas lease has attracted little interest. trump also wants to bolster coal mine to meet future energy demand. home is considered the dirtiest of all fossil fuels. lastly, offshore, wind, solar and other clean energy sources are not part of transplant refinement. ministration wasn't exactly hostile towards fossil fuels, but trump making them a priority, sends a message to the industry. think the industry kind of felt like i got the calls all day from the bottom that ministration and trump is all about oil and gas. and so whether or not his actions make a difference in their actual business environment and i think it will, but just around the edges. i think it's the attitude that they appreciate rather than feeling like they're um, you know, being vilified somewhat because they produce fossil fuels. regardless of the fact

that we need fossil fuels going forward. here in santa fe, the clean horizons bill passed this stage of the conditions here in a small victory for activists fighting to current emissions. but in light of the general course in washington, their outlook is rather bleak. we have passed legislation trying to bring on more renewables for electricity. we've passed the zone and methane rules to help control oil and gas pollution. but we're now the 2nd greatest extractor of oil in the country and we'd be 14th in the world if we were a country and to our south. and that means that our gold coast keeps getting moved further and further out. back in hops. this is not a new field with an education center for teenagers. next to the school. students can learn a life size equipment, making their 1st steps in oil and gas easier because they chose a career in that industry. though people are aware they might have to find

alternative sources for energy. at some point. there's a long, very long life left in um, oil and gas production. i mean we get 50 years. but we've been on the mission around diversification just because it makes sense. it's the right thing to do, but for now it seems american energy, independent of president terms, policies will largely come from fossil fuels, the to keep your home warm in winter. one thing is vital fish heater. but for the climate, the real question is where to start? heat come from most homes to rely on oil or gas in germany. the construction of use of buildings account for 30 percent of c o. 2 emissions. a smart solution from sweden shows how to cut greenhouse gas emissions and she production

we invested also a bit more than an hour drive from the capital stucco. it's a city of about a 160000 people. it's pretty cold about to minus 2 degrees celsius butts. in the middle of winter, i can get much, much colder here even below my and 20. so people here take the heating really seriously pretty much old houses see of 98 percent of them are connected to pipes like v. as a huge network of 900 kilometers, just the city. and the main purposes people was the system invested was one of the largest in sweden has been run by the local energy company relying the heat since the 1950s. and that's what we have to say. hi, hi, welcome. so let me see if this this, these are guns to him. he'll be taking us on the ground. she's in charge of the

company's heat and electricity strategy. so when's the last time you've been down there? i've been there 1st of september when the king was here to do the honoring opening of the gate. it's a tough act to follow. for me, i think a press office is an engineer also coming with us to be able to film in the caves. we have to agree to one thing that location has to remain secret. you won't find it on google maps, and yes, we've tried. so why come we tell anyone where exactly the case of since we an energy production site? and so it's because of security reasons. okay, so we also can show the drive now. so we'll do a katia and then we have the case so here you can see down where the parent starts. and here is where we should get rough. let's go. we're heading down to about 25 meters. here's the rest is there is free. so if

something goes wrong, we only have to climb up. well, what we want to be fits if you want to be these tunnels lead to 3 men made real case today is the solve the hot water tanks, but they have a turbulent and troubled his street was the iron for the united states and the soviet union stand on the verge of direct military confrontation. throughout the 19 sixties and seventies, the cold war had the world and its grip. sweden had declared itself unusual and independent. it was essential to have enough fuel to keep the country running and in case a full scale war broke out. so it started to stop tile. and that's why the case invested also what builds to store oil. the amount of organs used for a whole year was kept in here, but after the cold war and not have any use for us. and it's been sitting here system up until today because it turns out these caves can fix a big problem that

a lot of cities around the world have this assess that also has power plants. it's a so called co generation plants, meaning it produces electricity and heat at the same time. so it's a very efficient way to use fuel normal power plants that just produces electricity vents of fuel. to create spe, this has been used to drive the turbine, but much of the heat that's generated in this process simply gets lost, cools away. only about 40 percent at best of the energy that stored in the fuel gets used, the rest is wasted. combined heat and power plants like the one invest those uses up to 90 percent because it reuse us the otherwise loss pete's and turns it into hot water. this can get fits into the district teaching system distributed via the pipes we saw earlier. so people can use the homes and half what was the po for the 96 is 3 and what's going on or then came the oil crisis and we converted into cold

. and then during those years since that we have 50 more and boilers and hunters and now we use waste wholesale waste we use reduced what would the has been something and then also biofuel. and this power plant is the reason why that filled up the caves with water the during the summer. or we need to have the power plant running because everyone's best house hot shower, even on the warm summer day. but to keep the plan running that needs to produce a minimum amount of hot water, often more than can be used up in the summer. and in winter, it's sometimes con, produce enough heat, especially on really for us, the days when it gets colder, we need to fire up another power plant. so the idea was simple, but ingenious. why not the stuff, those big caves they had done to the city and turned them into a giant heat battery that can store the extra heat from summer. so it can be used to keep houses warm in winter. but now it's getting really want. you can see

a little snake to 5 degree for just underneath this if the one of the cabins. ok. so the heat is coming, coming out from the ceilings, from the mountains because it goes with it feels like outside to minus a degree and now is this fields like during the summer holiday? that's what i can do like it. yeah, exactly. instead of oil decays and now storing heats when the power plant produces more than the safety needs, the water inside the caves gets heated up to 95 degrees celsius. the bedrock mixture only little of that heat escapes. it will say like a service like the coffee in the service order will also say that one cold days when the city needs more heat than the power of time can provide the heat, stored in the case can be used to people want i don't use it started up another boy

and there's an indian. those boilers are reserved boilers for those really, really cold days are did wrong on fossil fuels and without heating to heat. so soft for make them start we can reduce our c, o 2 emissions. all 3 caves together can store enough heat to keep the city warm for up to 2 weeks, depending on the outside temperature. and that's what they're doing right now. that's all the noise working now, it's taking the water from the top of the cavern and taking it to the usage stranger. this transfers the heat from the watson, the caves to the water that's running through the district teaching network. now unfortunately, this is as close as we can get to the case. that's because the fields and thankfully, so on the other side of the deal, you have the concrete, the concrete because on the, on the side there, the 100000 cubic meter of 95 degrees health walker. so if it's not our company,

we own the cooking. as you can imagine, converting an old oil deposit into a heat storage cave was a big undertaking. yeah, the 1st where you will have to do was to open it up because they've been close down for over 50 years. and then when we're opening up, we have to clean them from all the oil that was in there. and that was a long and sticky process, but then after that we need to do all the pricing said needed to be inside the case because now we can't reach them anymore. so after that was done, you steal it up again and started to fill up with water that's allowed to move in 5 months, as the case holds as much water as almost a 100 limping sized swimming pools. the whole project cost $15.00 and a half a 1000000 us dollars and investment. the company, which is owned by the city, hopes to recruit within 5 to 10 years. because every time they using the heat stored in the caves, the savings fuel, we use it almost every day in some capacity,

sometimes we are filling up would be your own cold days. we're using it to the distribution. of course, the company says the cabins can save $1600.00 tons of c o 2 emissions per year about as much as $460.00 people in sweden limits. in the grand scheme of things. this might not sound like that much. but if that were most orange caves like hits, that could make a difference the underground. so i'm as invested also proves that storing heat in a cave is possible on a large scale. and it can become a role model for other places looking to level of the heat. again, the, the munich shopping book marked the book dudley, a tax committed by refugees in germany. protesters are now demanding the closure of borders and mass. the port ations with the assad regime ousted

the wide spread calls for refugees to be deported, have included syrians, but it remains largely unclear how things will develop in their country. and what the transitional government actually stands for. but many of syrians are happy to have found a new home in germany. we met a family and marketable or who doesn't want to go back guys dialed, slipped the war in syria with his family in 2014 and found a new home. and most of all books on hook the us, the germany gave me everything in syria before it was bought. i didn't have much, i couldn't do much. so from our perspective, germany is our home this weekend from, from those other sites. our 2nd home you could say was i must, despite the gun months, i'd have to start seeing luck as a distribution center. he opened the door to all to d. i y workshop in 2019, but then he was working on his own. today he's an employer is have the item is over,

go, i have one person working for me. i know so i can just order the parts or make an appointment with doesn't mind me is on my employee. you can just get on with things . one of you having oh, i know all the whole skills, we also opened the car dealership and have an employee there too. so we feel like things are always moving forward. so you, i think investors get him on for now. back in 2020 many things were still new to the parents, but the children already felt at home in my to book miss rosa was born in germany. the children are, you know, syria from the parent stories. my d die up was only 3 when he left syria. trouble of, of when the have a few friends who speak are a big push, but i mostly speak german at school. deutsch. know a teenager, he prefers to spend his time off to school in the workshop cause of his great

passion. after graduating from high school, he wants to study electrical engineering and then take over the workshops. course i guess the virtual to the dream is actually to expand the workshop and make my father proud of me because this is then called his dream. and my dream that i take over the workshop going back to syria is out of the question for the family. yes, at this vic does as a side is gone, that's very good. but for us micro burgess home in time 2 of my children were born here. yeah. people on i know a lot of germans, few that we want to stay here. we don't want to go back to syria, live in vehicle this. not zillions or guys die of one says children to get to mary's hometown in syria. he's looking forward to vacation the and the re union with his family. it was the car repair shop in used car dealership. he's made a dream come true uninsured, financial security for his family now here,

and he wants one thing above all else. as the trouble of that self not to getting german citizenship is very important for us. of course. i don't know why it's on happens yet. we're still waiting in the family's application was rejected, but they want to apply for gen impossible to get this. yeah, the that's it for this edition of made. we looked at how germany is defense industry is positioning itself. and whether trumps push for more oil production, more or less. plus, we ventured underground to explore a heat storage facility in sweden, state coast east. i'm see you next time. the air conditioning systems that fight climate change. researchers and engineers are

developing sustainable cooling models for private household in city districts. the applies tend to use old wisdom about wind and weather, and combine it with bold ideas to create something new. to the point. next on d, w, the refugee, the industries are pushed back. it happens every day in the mediterranean. the european buddha agency frontage has been accused of human rights violations. all the accusations true. the new boss has to strengthen things out. can the new board or agency the into l is on d w. the

likes to come out when you break up gender identity, how does on mental health impact i love lives. how do we approach money within our relationship? so it is one of the few sources and can listen to content about sexuality and sexual matters. i'm liza model that and i'm going to be exploring all listen more in a new season of master, available on all platforms. this morning at 1020, i went to a sick man's band 54 years old. he did everything he could to make me understand that i had to help him live because he has 2 children. he asked me to call claudia by searching his phone contact. to tell her, he wanted to say hello. instead i had to tell katia

frank, i was gone 5 years off to coach and we remember window road stood still stops march 8th on dw, the are, you've probably seen those clips of ukrainian president followed him here. zalinski is trip to the oval office. it ended in disaster and the fallout came quickly. but the trump administration's decision to suspend all military aid to that meeting at the white house. definitely going to be in history books as the moments of monumental change in the united states wrote on the world stage without the americans. how bad do things now looking for you crate. the europeans step in to make off for the last support this week on to the point where i'm looking at the consequences of donald trump putting u. s. military a to ukraine on holds.
