it only contributes under 3 percent to well g, d, p. and it only manages to produce about 5 percent of the world energy. so if it goes in no position to, to take sides on or, or to, to get distracted from its own development needs, which are very existential. they're very critical. parts of africa are faced again with the loss of food security, meaning the countries will not be able to feed their population. so africa is, it is actually cool to try and, and export africa into joining a particular foreign policy. and china is not doing this in russia is not doing this. and minister love off visits in africa. he made no demands on african leaders to, to support russia and the country negotiate has been discussed, development aid and assistance projects. many thanks for your time to doctor andre thomas austin, german attorney emeritus professor of law at the university of south africa. now the syrian oil in ministry has publicly accused the us of stealing its oil. the amount of oil production during the 1st half of 2022 amounted to some 14

and in the g d r, about 370000 soviet troops. the stations were it's generally accepted by military analysts. but once a nuclear war starts, it will inevitably become a major exchange with the turn to c building to get somebody to not do something. first, a cost will exceed the benefits and usually that's associated with a threat. you can deter by a massive retaliation. you can also deter by strong offense, which is called attorney through denial. if you're not going to be able to carry out your actions against me, then you're not going to try it. but the 1st place like depression and france since the times general, the goal meets all and others have always believed. total, utility terrence and not in the limited use of nuclear weapons in the sixty's which led to tension between the goal in the united states. it's going to cost us wanted to impose a flexible determine strategy. if west germany were attacked, western powers would attack germany, france gets attacked, poland would be attacked in retaliation. and also for the onion

with em. router is promising to invest heavily in the agricultural sector, which is one of the biggest g d p contributors. and he is talking of figures amounting to $2500000000.00. and he says this will in the long term ease the cost of living and put money in people's pockets. people at the bottom just briefly charged or impose on our clothes. are there any indication of further way that the selection is going to go at the moment we're seeing rayleigh dinger in the lead with 52 percent and william router at 47 percent. but to most of the kenyans that we spoke to earlier today, most of them are saying they are and are hoping to have a leader who is going to give 0 tolerance to corruption and also improve the standard and quality of living as well as a boost productivity in the country to create more jobs. ok, georgia, remember and i rode before us. thank you. yes, time for remind as the top is a story we're following for years as our ukraine, as a family holiday deliveries of russian oil bound for hungary, slovakia, and check republic by the dress for pipeline russian supply trans next say

so closing the education doors to girls has cost 2.5 reduction and afghanistan, g, d p, which is a huge very quickly um, what is the distinction that some of these guys men are making when they allow girls to go through primary school and then stop at secondary, what is scary to them about secondary school education that they say, this is the stopping point. it's pretty complicated to melissa. it's not so easy to, to explain and a few sentences. but i mean, puberty as one thing. so as soon as the rim, as soon as girls reach puberty and become women, they want women to stay at home. so i think this is the most obvious, but then also we have to think about the overall effect and long term effects. it has on afghan society and, and, and, and hindering girls from getting an education hindering women from gauging, getting in education. we'll also keep the obedient in a sense. so i think this would be my short answer to this was that thank you so much for addressing that. it's a question that i've been, frankly wondering for a long time was not had you not see me. thank you so much for joinin

that's according to a german government research institute estimate showing the country's g. d. p could drop by 1.7 percent next year. with 660000 jobs vanishing by 2025. the european union's emergency gas plan came into force on tuesday. it asks that members reduce their gas consumption by 15 percent in order to help fill gas storages and prepare for a possible full rush and cut off this winter or china's recent escalation round. taiwan has rattled nerves globally. also here in germany where china is a major trade partner, a new study now imagined how serious and abrupt in to that trade relationship could be. the report from the munich based evo institute found that a complete, the coupling with punitive tariffs from china would be 6 times as expensive for germany as briggs. it was the auto industry would be hit hardest. above all. the study was commissioned by industry group whose members include b, m, w, and audi. i florian dorn was co author of that report for the evo into to he joins me now from munich, florida. it's great to have you on the show. i want to begin by saying

so like there is no economic significance that i want to possibly add to the old g d, p of china except for and i have the rare and, and i, one has technology and to know how to process it. interchange. so indeed, it would be like a good move on to things, and it is idea to get hold of time to then combine taiwanese technology and know how with the rare that already like existing in chinese or. well, the other great thing for china is that it would give away a fantastic supplier on its side, which it's already reliant on t s. m. c. for example, the top manufacturer on the island. but then that manufacturer also supplies over 90 percent of the world's high class chips. and i guess, i mean, i think it would be discussing the obvious not that this would have to be implications on the whole. and this is why taiwan again is one of the most dangerous places on that, because the publication by the people's republic of china do not only written and assess governing democratic country, but also like the global supply chains. and if you look at the big picture again, she will not be stopping it.

should be in line with some of the other economic indicators that are not so exciting, such as shrinking g d p for the past 2 quarter is inflation is still roaring and eating into paychecks. and the consumers, even shifting spending, business investment is down, manufacturing is down, so we can look to exports. and we can say great, this is one of the good things in the economy alongside the job market, which is still roaring. but even then there are cracks. there we saw jobless claims up, so exports. it's wonderful, but we have to look holistically in the economy. hey teddy australia in new york, or as even like irrelevant now, many european companies have withdrawn from russia since it launched its full scale invasion of ukraine in february. but not the german energy company vince has, how dare it's making billions in profits, in co operation with russia's state and gas from 1300000000 euros in the 1st half of the year. the company wants to stick to its projects in russia, but criticism is getting louder a year ago winters, how dia uploaded video to youtube in it, the gas production incorp

it was the beginning of the end of the cold war in october 1989 when he visited east berlin for the g d r's, 40th anniversary celebrations. gorbachev urged eric hanukkah to implement reforms. he warned the eastern leader saying, life punishes those who come to late a month after his visit. the berlin wall fell and with it, the iron curtain that had divided europe for decades. it was gorbachev's, reformist policies that helped unleash a peaceful revolution across eastern europe. in 1990 gorbachev was awarded the nobel peace prize for his key role in bringing about a new peaceful world order. internationally. he was highly regarded. but at home, he was increasingly under pressure. the economic situation was dire. the soviet union on the verge of falling apart, communist hardliner stage to crew against gorbachev in august 1991. at the end of that year, mikhail gorbachev announced his resignation and the soviet union was dissolved with many russians holding him responsible for it to my last d w political correspondent, thomas sparrow. if that was how mister gorbachev would be remembered her

this year there's estimates that it could be as high as a one percent drop in g d p. if that is forced to close so early in the season. and so that will have to be seen with if the river drops to low, that ships can't move at all anymore. now, as you've mentioned, several rivers across europe are suffering from the ongoing drought. how is this being linked by scientists to climate change? yes. well, climate change is making these droughts more severe. ah, so in terms of how often they happen and how intense they are and it, it leads to those higher temperatures, less rain fall in certain areas. and we've seen other effects from climate change across europe as well, whether it's the heat wave he waves like we've seen in the u. k. ah, wildfires here in germany and in other countries across the continent. a. so all, all of those things are being made worse by climate change, like the drought here and, and other parts of the world right now to some other baker report and from cologne there. thank you very much. some of the, a chess player from poland pass. i'll blasted hi
