india was also a discovery for me. india is a very warm country.avel to it for more than three months. let's say this is how the back-back is. that is, there were no problems at all and always if there were any they could have put everything to the question and just take me to the train or somewhere else. that is, it was for me and it remains with such an incredible thing , this is help. and let's say this. yes, and such are the sentiments of support against the war, regardless of what yes, he supports. perhaps this is also the perspective of the soviet union from the soviet union. we know that the soviet union supported india in the war with pakistan, and i constantly bring up this topic, and i explain that ukraine was the second largest country in terms of territory. a member of the soviet union, and let’s say we also all helped you in those days when we were in the soviet union, that is, if they reacted to it with such a dig, so really. that is, we can very seriously raise the ukrainian issue here. thank you, mr. ivan ivankov boyko , activists b

at sourcing from india, enhancing the manufacturing and india. india still has a long way to catch up with china, but it's on its way to becoming the new leader of economic growth in asia. the low says it's important to invest in both markets that the bone of the inside do you mean currently also building a factory in china and joyce is just like the factory that will soon be opening in india in august. it sends a clear signal of confidence in these countries height of the decision to build this factory was made 3 years ago. which means that there were many issues that haven't yet arisen, including the pandemic. we've not regretted for a 2nd that we did it because we see that both markets will grow strongly. the german pop manufacturer says every cent it's invested in india has been worth it. and it's paving the way for other companies to follow. let's get more from dw correspondent to try real hard to gain daily charl. how much of an issue will it be that india still is a big destination for russian energy? something that germany chose to band and in the face of the problem is warn y

france is the second largest military supplier to india after russia, and india, according to observers, is just trying to reduce its dependence on moscow. the french are arranging a luxurious reception for the indian prime minister after his no less luxurious state visit to the usa last year , the usa, where modi was once banned from entering, this suggests that despite the differences regarding the war in ukraine, and the tension that persists due to the human rights situation in india, the west is interested in india and is trying to make it an ally . that is why it is important. then he made several rather bold statements that india could become a counterweight to china in the region or does india have the will and the means to fulfill such promises, i think that the desire is there, and as for the means, india is working very hard to increase its potential and longingly, especially when it comes to the armed forces, a very urgent problem for india is the border with china the ties between the two countries are now at a very low level. and that is why india is trying to look for par

chuckles. ..modi in india... and then, suddenly, it wasn't, after all, and many of the populists gave way to other, more traditional leaders. so is populism dead? and what is it, anyway? i asked james landale, the bbc�*s diplomatic correspondent. we're talking anti—establishment rhetoric, we're talking the undermining of institutions. we're talking about the idea of somehow there is the true reflection of the popular world that could only be reflected through that individual. so there are certain characteristics, but when you start looking at different people like, i don't know, president erdogan in turkey and then comparing him to borisjohnson in the uk context or donald trump, quite quickly you get into a place where you're beginning to start comparing apples and pears. but the basic idea, that there is a crisis of democracy, that many voters are distrusting institutions and systems and they're turning to leaders that give fairly simple, clear—cut solutions to national problems, you know, is clearly still there

well, miss universe, with both from india, india was killing it and the beauty stakes. so where's the disconnect between hosting it and winning it? you know, i think that positives and negatives do everything and all the suicides to a point, and it's just unfortunate that it was being seen in the different light then. but i show the content of the volume, like the fashion shows, also have a board visit to come a lot more into seems today. so i'm shopping to get a much better response. now, the armies i'm just looking at how the miss world organization. i'm just going to read this, so my laptop, nobody looks at my writings messy. all right. have a miss. well, organizations, a talking about going to india this time. they chose india as a house. countries recognize, quote here, the nation's rich cultural heritage. it's commitment to promoting diversity and it's passion for empowering women for me to do so. thanks. a golf. in 1996 was india completely changed. so i mean, i think of india has changed and i agree that i don't, i agree with that another. i don't think that thi

what is india? what is the state of india outside of hindi? i read iran. alhamdulillah. karbala, najaf. i read this program. the whole of india remembers imam hussain. even the knowledge of imam abul fazl al-abbas imam hussain is more than the shiites. their announcements are almost 300, 400 years old. they spend the whole year here in the name of the imam. for 10 days, they are passing us by now. they make a symbol like imam hussain . i think they invite me to come to them on their days when they are not scientific rosanna is now inviting me to come and sing a dirge, or the children of our delegation will come to me to read this kind of prayer. i would like to read this kind of song. what is the northern city of behnam hel? there is a city that is not sunni at all, but the sunnis there wear black clothes for two months. the house of the professional who has wire , allah hossein hosseini, is another wonder of india's eastern neighbor, bangladesh, because in this is a country of 160 million people, where 158 people in al-hassan city are the national and official holiday o

at least in india. we come to the news because we want to learn something to make our lives better. when so many people are switching from the news, that was concerning for me. in india, fact-based reporting has taken a backseat. there is opinion and debate shows are the norm. when i came across -- i remember watching one of ravish's broadcast. often the news anchors will tell audiences we are here to serve you and the audience is number one. ravish was scolding his audiences, that you should be doing better, please stop watching tv and that is the only way we can all get better. i found that to be ironic that here was somebody in the news business who was asking people to stop watching the news. he was also being very vulnerable on television. he was wondering aloud if there was an audience out there for him. i found that you be a good starting point because i think over a period of time, we become desensitized to the crisis that people are working within the news industry are facing. with ravish, i th

and why is india solution factory? of course, in collaboration with a little bit of product lending. but it's not as if global corporations are suddenly having to choose between china or india back at pumps. and you fact to reveal executives believe it's important to invest in both countries. you buy one of the and so we're building a factory in china to right now. is i using because that tells you a lot and we're opening a new factory in india in august. it's a decision for that factory was made 3 years ago before many of the current issues cropped up and before a coverage on the funds decides to montgomery haven't regretted the decision for one second, because we can see that. so both markets will experience strong, gross, but that's going to stop by the, by the mac to see does the stock bucks in india is definitely on its way to becoming the new leader in economic growth in asia. but china is still ahead in many sectors. dispute 50 live blogs and not people from any industry knows it is still true. the china is the

this isn't india on tap. on a quest to find out how history, religion and politics have shaped india. and also, meet the people who call this intriguing and sometimes overwhelming country, home. it's going to be an amazing journey. for thousands of years, india found its riches and influence through international trade. at the heart of this enterprise was the sea. and the state of gujarat, with a thousand miles of coastline, served as a shipping gateway to africa, arabia and beyond. this is as far west as you can get in india. it's the mingling of influences from overseas that have helped make gujarat what it is today. the region is known as kutch. and its beaches are a popular domestic tourist attraction. this ancient port town's economy is still anchored in a much older maritime tradition. this is genuinely incredible. i'm in heaven. a huge shipyard with boats and ships at various stage of construction, all made from wood. in an industry dominated by bulky and expensive container ships, these smaller, more

i myself, but all of india . i love iran and they love iranians because that india and iran have something in common, and for a thousand and a half years, the official language of india, persian, and the people of india wrote in persian for a thousand years, and the writings that we don't have until now, that is, the rest of the persian writings, so these people belong to india and iran, and therefore we respect iran. we are friends with iran only because of the memory of that civilization. iran is a country that is against the tyranny of ali, and the people of india also revolted against the welcome, and they expelled the independent and welcome from the colonialists from iran . get the colonists out establishing an independent government and state and revolution and islamic thinking, therefore, the attraction of iran is great, and we can make more progress in the field of culture in the common lands that we have for our own benefit. it has progressed so much before iran came, and you see, whoever comes to iran

while india is way behind. they things artificial intelligence. 5 is received at least $95000000000.00 in private investment between 2013 and last year india. and so i've just received nearly 7000000000 and 4 of the was 20 biggest tech companies by revenue. a chinese none is based in india as well from china, india with drawing that by me how and thomas, a senior economist, i'm program manager of economic. i'm a linux at frost and sullivan. good to have you with us. what do you make of these economic deals? that between india and the us, what we're seeing in some we is that the again, the us have recently a beat to us new abuse in the space of defense, particularly men groans or send me conductors and the like. for example, we can be looking at general electric splendid investment into the indian economy to potentially john to manufacturing object engines in conjunction with him to start aaron optics. we're expecting to see potential inward investments into india for a new semi conductive facility. and that has

what is india going to do?e any counter offer that we are likely to make to all industries so they are more competitive both in terms of subsidies or's incentives? >> you must have heard of the pli scheme which has been carefully designed to do two things. one, not to be trade distorting and second, to provide a measured degree of assistance which has succeeded. particularly in mobile headsets. to basically say to multinationals come in, the water is not too cold. those of you who have been following the prime minister's visit to the united states would see the cooperation on india being able to access green technology. >> thank you very much we have some technical problems, thank you to you for joining us today. technical issues curtailing that interview with the vice chair, we are just under five minutes to go to the indian market getting going looking at the price action at the moment and just seeing how things are doing because we are at record highs for this market. we keep having them every day it seems,

a big reason for their optimism is india is useful. labor force nearly every 2nd person in india is under $25.00. the population is growing rapidly and so is the indian economy. all those people need infrastructure, homes, food and more. german come, baker veto is investing big in india, building its largest pumps ever this country in the next, at least 10 to 20 years. really a major consumption of at the same time, there will be no daughter of 3 men publish. so men bought a supply conjunction was pending. the pumps produced here are sent all over the world, including to africa, where they're used for hydro electric power plants. products are also developed here in india, and not just back at the headquarters in germany, the re manufactured in this specific d v. what because of buying pounds, we'd have to keep people spinning olympic sized swimming pool in 10 seconds. this plant near the city of pulling out was only opened just recently. it's in a manufacturing that is attracted investors from all over the world, including more than $200.00 companies from germany, a stone's throw from her

let's bring in our next guest who runs one of india put spread -- india's think tanks.bha ghosh from council on energy environment and water. we heard about how india missed its renewable targets. what does it need to do differently to meet future targets? >> and miss the 175 gigawatt target -- it missed the 175 gigawatts target. it achieved its 2030 goals set under the paris agreement way back in 2020 one, whereby it now has 42% of its electricity capacity, which is coming from non-fossil sources. in needs to double down on the options. we now need to be auctioning 50 gigawatts of capacity every year. and yet has to deploy 11-12 megawatts of renewables for the rest of the decade. it has to lure the cost of finance. cost of capital is still higher in india than in the united states or europe. if you can bring that down it increases the ability of the utilities to buy more renewables. has to look beyond the electricity sector and look at how carbonization and sustainable mobility can be new drivers of pulling along this new energy transition. when you look at heavy indus

compared to that, india, it is 11 times more than india. the numbers of china out stretches india, if you see the share of engagement that india has been trying to do, it is quite high. it is higher than its engagement in its immediate neighborhood, which happens to be a major focus of india. the number of credit lines india has opened up for africa is three times the number that it has opened for its neighbors. it gives the intent and engagement. in addition, in the last nine years, of the 25 embassies that india has opened up, 18 are in africa. the focus of this government is increasingly africa after its neighborhood. if you look at the scale of cost, the chinese scale is bigger than that of india. that is because of the economies, there is a huge difference. the chinese economy is much bigger. menaka: one of the interesting things your story pointed out is there seems to be credit with no strings attached. can you talk us through the nature of the projects india might be investing in? and whether there is a resource angle? sudhi: there

that's a market that you otherwise only find in india, india. and plus, if you know china works according to different rules and what you're sometimes difficult to navigate for you, that's what they show. and then it's just, it's a communist system with a government that works hard to ensure its own companies are adding advantage of the item of the name and the united for tested on something. and that definitely makes life harder for foreign companies. actually it, india has plenty to offer, including a lot of tech savvy young people with an above average education in i t industry 4 point oh, the math digitalization of manufacturing is well underway. this factory belonging to german automation supplier vice is among those offering customized solutions. the 1st breakthrough for our solution factory was securing on the 1st engineer to all the projects which was completely customized. i spoke to somebody glad me. the best part of this project was the entire solution was designed and developed locally here. and why is india solution factory? of cour

at sourcing from india, enhancing the manufacturing and india gone are the days when big international firms looked only to china when expanding manufacturing capabilities in asia, the new hub on the continent is india or b corporations likely to invest less in china after the pandemic? and if so, why? the me? well, there are several reasons. firstly, there is indeed a massive level of one sided reliance. it's crept in simply because of the sheer size or the chinese markets, and the i've come up here and meet a guy who have 1400000000 consumers and mark, then these ones will have to move. that's a market that you otherwise only find in india. india and plus, if you know china works according to different rules and what you're sometimes difficult to navigate free. absolutely. so and then it's just, it's a communism system with a government that works hard to ensure its own company, easy part at an advantage or the item of the name and then for tested on something . and that definitely makes life harder for foreign companies. actually it, india has plenty to offer, including a lot of tec

india's future space class. if this succeeds, if the landing goes as planned on the 23rd 24th august, then india is also planning emission with japan in the future. it's called a new fix. it's also a lunar mission. this project itself is an international collaboration with nasa in the visa and so many other space agencies contributing in small ways to make this project happen. but what's more interesting is on the 26th or 27th of august and is also planning to launch. and the c m, as in the accounts under, i mean one other thing. i mean sun, there will be a satellite sent out to look directly into the sun and observe it. so it is looking at the moon and the sun around the same time for the country. how important is this? it's a huge moment, primarily because i a sato, is not just a space agency that's geared towards commercial space in the future, but it's a symbol of curiosity. it's the scientific temperament embodied into one institution in india. as a side, all of alternately grew up looking at this rock. it'

and has given air india 30 days to respond. well for more let's cross over to delhi and dw corresponding to charter with car to k charl. what could air india do to address the concerns of the competition commission? well, chris, to be shop. uh, none of the bodies involved have made any statements on the issue yet, but then uh, what experts are saying is that there are a couple of concessions that ended up in might have to give it c c. i really insist upon c, c, i being the monopolies regulator here in india might have to give up certain routes . it might help to reduce the frequency of some flights. that's going to be one step of the problem off of that they're, they're supposed to be the national problems as well because it in denver startup, both of them defy on international routes. so they will need a anti trust. it is in foreign jurisdictions, jurisdictions as well. so and uh, is it better to waiting for uh, the india part of the problem to be solved 1st and then see what kind of questions come up in the flooding jurisdict
