the approval process is considerably long here in germany. they want to see a sped up in tesla might be something like a blueprint for that. so stephen, the factory also faced a lot of resistance, particularly from environmental groups, is the community around the factory and now satisfied i think it depends which community we're talking about. when you look at brandenburg in general, this is a region outside of berlin. it's very thinly populated, it hasn't had as many industrial m herb plants here, industrial employers here that might offer jobs like in other parts of germany. so this is very much welcome from a job perspective. the local community has been a little upset about water issues here, and that will continue to be a problem at this facility is going to need the water of about a $40000.00 a population city a per year. so that is something that is going to take a mass of resource from this area. it's probably going to require more wells to be dug for residents of this area. but the officials here say that the water is there and that

it's been a good time for the administration and reliable administration in germany. and i think has mentioned that in his interest mentioned that in his speech last tuesday that he very much appreciate the rely rival administration and administration in germany. so, tesla as well as a c, a t l, but to manufacturer that has a look at the manufacturing plant to also to 3 years ago shows that the administration processes are competitive if we mentioned until they're another big win for germany as an investment location. the german government reportedly is giving and tell around 5000000 euros in subsidies. why should taxpayer money be given to these big corporations to attract them here? the benefit that you, that the german economy is getting and even the european economy getting out of those projects. very large projects. it's much higher than the amount of incentives and subsidies paid by the government. if you see the whole infrastructure, the ecosystem that is expected around passion, a huge investment with thousands of ups and publish that they will create another

there were howitzers that were built in eastern germany when germany was divided. and because of rules and regulations, you know, had been sent to stone. yes, only had to ask permission from germany and they could send it to ukraine. and they said no, that was kind of an easy no brainer. they could have just let this tony and send it . it had no money had to change hands, nothing. but there was such strong disagreement on that. so i think the, the parameter has moved dramatically in germany and i think the public, we've seen the protest, and i think that this idea of, you know, rushes influence carefully cultivated influence network across europe has crumbled . we've seen all of these former leaders who are on the boards of russian companies in their articles and in leading newspapers, citing all of these german or austrian british leaders who are on rushes payroll, and they have resigned from their positions and noted former german chancellor schroeder has not so he's kind of a weird outlier, but he's been, you know, eating at the wrong russian truck for quite a l

and this is a red line also for germany also for the united states where germany of remains very firm indeed that that contact must not take place. there must not be any kind of a claim be made by moscow that a nato country of would take part in that war. and this is where germany still stands very firmly having. and i must remind a soul because a week feels like a year at this point in time. and after it took a german chance that would have so it's in only 48 hours after the russian attack to move from no, we will not deliver any weapons to declaring that those 1st deliveries surface to air rocket propelled grenades would be sent. we've just been looking at pictures here from the boat as i live and seen all our shots sticking there to the head of his party. we also saw the foreign minister anna, lena burbock. just now richard, coming to you now. this addressed to the german pearlman. it comes just a day after volota, mister lansky addressed the u. s. congress. what did you make of that speech? yeah, it was, it was extraordinary. this is just the latest it in the series of these kinds

and germany decided to make the same mistake. but another way, you know, not having the dictator and mine. yeah. but tolerating the dictator and money, and we are really happy that germany changes german change of mind. but you know, we would like you, you did it before. well, thank you so much for joining us and outlining your position for so clearly. dmitri, go in a member of the training parliament, stay say all this by those attacks on the mary of paula, the escalating attacks across the country. russia is struggling to take cities like the capital case, the w alex forest whiting has an update on the progress of the war. as the war enters its fault week, russia continues its advance across ukraine from the south east and the north. well, let's look 1st at the capital key, which is a city that russian needs to take control of if it is to win this war. but that is proving more difficult than anticipated. it appears that advancing forces have a face significant logistical problem, such as running out of fuel and food. now you ma

so i think there is a change of heart here in germany. the ukrainian president today accused germany basically of being an enabler, allowing vladimir putin to become the warrior that he is right now. and he also said that you are continuing to enable him by continuing to buy energy from him. that's right. it was an extraordinarily tough sort of accusation. in the address from zalinski i thoughts, french and z also said that the german is often repeated slogan of never again, never again war and aggression by germany that stand. he said that it has no value and no meaning because of what germany has done or failed to do as he sees it. well, you know, it's, of course he's, he's right in the sense that europe generally and germany in particular continues to be incredibly dependent on russian oil and gas. hundreds of millions of euro's going in daily to russia. and supposing this war effort, therefore, indirectly. but it's not so easy to just yourself off that day to day. i, you know, it's a transition that the german government says it wants

as you know, germany has provided a for germany, unprecedented number of weapons deliveries to ukraine, including anti tank weapons antibiotic or so again, yes indeed. and that is an absolute to breach for germany until now with it always said it does not send weapons to conflict zones. that was what the chancellor then decided on the 27th of february in his historic speech. and to this same body, to the bonus tug saying that germany would now move beyond what had been a post war taboos. so of course that support is also going to ukraine, as is support for humanitarian aid. they are in the country also flowing via the european union. so a number of different dimensions, but stopping short of a crucial measure that has been proposed by other nato and e u. member states, and certainly by the us as well. namely, an embargo on russian fuel imports. does a germany have a plan though, on where all this money is going to come from? good question. that has not been spelled out yet. the one word we haven't heard in this budget date debate so far as the tea word, namely taxes. and i was listenin

you are helping germany, you are helping ukraine when you reduce your use of gas or energy. >> germany's industry would be disrupted if the gas flow were to stop. lawmakers are working on a plan to support the sector. >> some industries, you cannot just turn it off and on. the whole production line is broken. it is important that weeep things running and, therefore, we are working hard in the background on some measures that will help small, medium, but large companies in germany through these rough and tough times. >> is far germany's gas supplies are not directly under threat, but the countr once to set up all possible precautions if supplies were suddenly cut. >> i am join with someone from german watt. it is good to have you on the program. the german government says it is triggering its early warning for gas supplies. do you see germany headed for an inevitable shortage of natural gas? quite -- >> it is too early to tell. the first level of the plan is about propulsion and preparedness. by definition, that means there are serious indication that a shortage is possible. with what we

now some breaking news here in germany. the government has just announced it's activating it's early warning plan in anticipation of possible shortages of gas supplies from russia. economy minister robert, have ex, dressed that there are currently no shortages, but the government would be establishing a crisis team to monitor the situation more closely. the move follows russia demand for gas payments and roubles, which germany and other western nations have rejected. for more i'm joined now by a political correspondent, jared. read. jerry, what more can you tell us about this development this our hi, i be, will the background to old? this is a demand from vladimir person that countries like germany pay for gas in the rubles and earlier this week we had the g 7, which is led by germany at the moment reject this demand. and so moscow has put this into a bill requiring countries to essentially pay for energy in rebels, which the g 7, as i said, says it will not do so. this has caused robot hardback to sit up a crisis team and

how exposed is germany? it's the eu's biggest exporter to russia, and relies on it for its energy needs — we find out how businesses in europe's biggest economy are reacting. and in other news — digital payments without a smartphone? we check out how india is solving the problem. more now on the energy war that is emerging between russia and the west, causing global prices for oil and gas to soar. russia warns it may close its main gas pipeline to germany, if the west goes ahead with a ban on russian oil. deputy prime minister alexander novak said a "rejection of russian oil would lead to catastrophic consequences for the global market", causing prices to more than double to $300 a barrel. he added it would be "impossible to quickly find a replacement for russian oil on the european market". this in reaction to the us exploring — with its allies — a potential ban on russian oil as a way of punishing it for its invasion of ukraine. michelle fleury has the details in new york. a growing number of us politician

what more do you think germany should be doing? the german, they have to stop and even possible way to stop by and rush and gas because the germany is sponsoring this war. and the germany was account re, blocked weapons that supports, i mean, was wrapped around, apply for them. and for them for a very long time and you blocked it. and if we had these weapons before that we have that now we, we would have totally different situation. so germany in this fear, all 4 or 4 taken parts in the war didn't, haven't seen. and didn't understand that, that isn't you have collect and germany decided to make the same mistake. but another way, you know, not having the dictator and money, but tolerating the dictator and money. and we are really happy that germany change of german change of mind. but you know, we would like you would you do that before? well, thank you so much for joining us and outlining your position for so clearly. demetrius go in a member of the cranium parliament, stacy take a look at some more developments in this conflict. a

germany. germany had always regarded itself as a kind of a bridge builder between the western russia over many decades. and now of course, with this invasion, that whole role that germany has played is being thrown into question germany very much coming down on the ukranian side saying that this invasion a justifies providing the ukrainians with weapons with which to defend themselves against the innovation that is not justified a tool, and as you just mentioned earlier, some weapons have already be supplied. so this would be essentially that the 3rd of tranche of that the germans, so are stressing at the same time that there's a limit to this. this doesn't mean that germany wants to sort of weighed in to become part of this conflict, and one of the ministers responsible robert har bag. he's the ministry of the economy. also, the vice chancellor was stressing that speaking to reporters, saying that we will not become a conflict to the party, to this conflict through actions like this. and that there are clear boundaries that we will always draw right. despite that though, the money i

and that criticism has been international, but also here in germany, that germany simply allowed itself to become far too dependent on russian sources of energy, oil and gas, also colbert, particularly natural gas, where as we've been hearing that the usage of natural gas even exceeded 50 percent for, from russia times, and it's quite interesting to watch robert hobbit, so the minister has been announcing this, he's the minutes really in the middle of all of this action of back trying to find different sources of energy because he's from the green party and he's basically been saying, we told you so about this dependence on russian gas, the green party of who's with this agenda of tackling climate change wants to reduce fossil fuel use altogether. but in particular, it's been very, very critical of russia. and in fact, he was hosting an international conference yesterday here in berlin on the transition towards clean the forms of energy. and he is very start language about russia. germany is dependent on russia describing it is being stupid that germany, in hindsight, enabled this kind

even building its own pipelines like here in eastern germany. but now the ukraine more is forcing germans to re think many of them say the government must have more control the clothes at clack fuel pump fuel. the crisis shows we need much more transparency than we currently have. at the moment it's almost impossible to say who is actually involved with whom in which business and which gas is really flowing through which pipe with spacious gas mayor hands. peter haskin is hoping for more support from the german government, as the war rages in ukraine. people here worry about how much control the russian state has over their lives. now businesses around the world are under pressure to sever their ties with russia. but thus, with operations and employees based in russia are facing mounting problems. international sanctions mean they're paying heavy price for their presence. their safely handling flammable lay quits. comas over back, has developed the specialized system that he is self to russia or used to sell to russia before the countries banks

the environmental as green party is one of germany's coalition partners. and so far it hasn't been ready to give up. it's ambitious planned to face out coal by 2030. and so more than that, we asked influential economists, veronica grim if germany could handle a sudden stop of gas imports from russia. i think e and it you could be managed, but it is of course, a severe burden also for the and german economy. there now various studies that have looked at the scenario of the supplies of a rush and got some of those and others this deal with the security of supply of energy supply and others with economic impact of a supply of rushing gas into bottom line is that it is feasible and without getting cold in the household, but it would have significant economic consequences. and in the short term, there might be high financial burden on individual energy suppliers that can can lead to cascading effects. so preparations must be made an honor to support critical utilities and especially to prepare the next winter without russian gas and sticking with commodities af

is politics that always align with germany is that for germany is the economy minister. energy has been high on the agenda as berlin tries to win the country of russian energy. reckoning good, i'm it. we're now counting on becoming independent from russian gas. with few exceptions. by summer 2024 already current. germany has turned to cutter. one of the world's leading producers of liquefied natural gas, or ellen gee, it could help germany wean itself of russian energy. but the gulf country has a tainted human rights record, including the exploitation of migrant workers. the discrimination of women, and restrictions on freedom of expression. but germany is desperate when you trade partners. so should it still put human rights more at the forefront of its trade relations. but even though the doors against the background of german history, it's a very important topic is that among everybody should think about this when buying products that are constitution, says human dignity is inviolable. that also cancer, other countries from which we purchase products linda didn't, will be productive

but germany is still dependent on russian oil and gas. it relies on russia for 30 percent of its oil and half of its gas supply. germany could break its dependence, but no one in the energy sector believes the transition will be easy. then there was some kind of, maybe, if russia stops delivering gas, we could get through the next winter without letting people freeze without our industrial production, shutting down and without blackouts, but with or without russian gas. the power grid still has the capacity to fail on this on. oh, it was a discuss cocoalsky energy experts argue the european union needs to expand its green energy sector in order to survive. but coal, atomic power will still have to play a role. let's discuss further yours reliance on russian energy in particular, russian natural gas. i asked leon is vicki from research consultants and he aspects whether countries like germany had a problem on their hands. this is really european problem rather than individual countries. specific problem, if germany would be struggling with

this bodes well for germany as a place for doing business. these anti dog i naga lawyer, the decision to build a brand new factory in this country is the right decision and a sign of progress and the industries future it. so comp, the industry. the new factory means tesla can save on shipping costs for vehicles. and e, you import tariffs. the german state of brandenburg gets one of its biggest employers . $12000.00 workers will produce half a 1000000 vehicles a year. other companies have come to brandenburg since tesla announced its factory site. canadian firm rock tech is building, europe's largest lithium plant. nearby is scheduled for completion in 2 years. chemical giant b a. s f is building a catalog factory for electric cars. now this talk here of a new high tech car making hub dubbed auto valley and muddled on california. silicon valley antenna is steven bears. leah was at the factory. as the 1st maiden, germany, testers were handed to that new ernest has his take on the plants. important to the company. what has the has built this fac

he and germany. the hope is that hydrogen could help germany accelerate efforts to the carbon ice meliss get more in this strong to bondage embellish, brought us our report. thanks for joining us in the studio to fund just a little bit more about these. these deals that germany struck with the u. a x as a handful of them as, as, as 5 deals as specifically. and of course on those deals are really about research development like the m, germany, economy minister, robot havoc said there. and one of the more interesting ones is the one of which includes lufthansa and siemens or energy and an hour and a mirror, etc. company called mazda, and they're supposed to work on an aviation fuel, would be a synthetic fuel using hydrogen, which is what all those deals are about. so it's really about getting hydrogen, which is, you know, carbon neutral, depending on how it's produced right now. it is produced in a way that it still releases emissions, but it, they weigh less than what we have in fossil fuels and looki

here in germany. well, the world's dialogue was the amount of german 4 in politics were many weeks before the russian invasion. it was like repeatedly mentioned in the stock fashioned log dialog dialog with ross. and now we see what's happening on the grounds and all this. right, missouri announced yesterday in a german for lemons. i'll a long term measures financing their military spending and delivering reference to the ukraine. but when you look on the ground for typing right now and key for the key. and so what you're saying about 10 is don't necessarily going to be very impressed by this development of this point to time. once again, ross se itself to a p, r, it was in the room since 2014 and since then, my vendor. but it's, and then you're creating the whole rhetoric of the russian government, the whole rhetorical, the russian state made. it was a war rhetoric for many years right now. so lots, nothing to impress them. and once again, they have very clear military goal, something on concert in k

how important is this moment for germany? it's an important moment for germany, but it's also a watershed moment for the european union. it's not only germany spending more, it's the european union for the 1st time setting up a, a program massive program where the united well sort of where the european union is, per chasing weapons is delivering weapons is even having a ready made standing force in the future in the strategic compact. so it's a watershed moment for berlin, but also for our union to some people around the world used to look at germany and sort of think of it as a sort of a big switzerland you know, country the like to make money and kind of keep its its hands relatively it clean. yeah. is that decisively over with now that time? well that's in with our hands. it should be over. it should definitely leave over. and it should have never been happen in the 1st place because we cannot be allowed switzerland. we are as germany, especially after the 2nd world war. after our experiences, we cannot be neutral. we are

and did germany get what it came for? it was necessary for all the reason, so that you mentioned germany's very high energy dependence on russia. and in fact, minister habit got more than he wanted. he got a package deal that could help germany. not only deal with its short term problem, namely weaning itself off russian natural gas by diversifying its sources, but also its longer term goal of transforming its energy system to become climate neutral. both are huge challenges for a big economy with a very high energy hungry industrial sector, which is one reason why germany has refused, as you said, to go along with suggestion so far for an import embargo on russian fuels. mister nick, mister hub, it said this long term energy partnership, which isn't finalized, is a milestone toward what he called puting free energy. and it would focus both on liquefied natural gas deliveries to meet germany, short term needs. and on developing renewable energy projects that could create a reliable supply of green hydrogen green. hydrogen

it's the 1st of the 3 steps in the gas emergency plan for germany. economy minister a call about topic announced that a crisis team will now closely monitor supplies so that further steps can be taken if necessary to go to your home supplies or secure or contracts are being fulfilled and gas and oil are arriving in germany as planned. so this is a, prevention will precautionary steps prevent yawns or falls, oregon shied on. there is concern that russia could cut gas deliveries to europe unless they are paid for in roubles, which germany and other g 7 countries refuse to do. but germany is heavily dependent on russian gas importing up to 55 percent of its total supply from their hubig. it's also calling on everyone in germany to reduce their own consumption. you know, i'm respond to every kilowatt hour of energy saved, helps. and that's why i would like to combine the triggering of this early warning for gas supplies, with the appeal for companies and private consumers to help your help in germany, you're helping ukraine. when you produce your use of

germany has long been criticized for its reliance on russian gas? now moscow is demanding that berlin pay in roubles wise moscow asking for this. because bear in mind that the russian economy is in real trouble from the sanctions that have been imposed, you know, they've got inflation of over 14 percent. i've also got the fact that the rouble has lost 40 percent of its value since the start of the war. and that's what this is really all about. now one of the ways that you stabilize a currency which the russian government really needs to do is to increase demand for it. and one of the ways you can increase demand for it is by forcing people who spend a lot of money with you to spend roubles with you. so that's one of the things behind what president putin, himself, in an analysis himself is, is pushing. but also you've got the fact that, you know, sanctions make it much harder for russian organizations. russian individuals as well to deal in euro's and dollars if they want to trade them with other countries because there's sanctions in place to stop

and in germany, they are fears of a shortage of natural gas. after russian president putin back peddled off his demand that countries pay for russian gas in rubles only in a phone call with german chancellor, all of sholtes put and said payments could still be made in euro's but then would be converted to roubles by russia's gas from bank canal schoultz has not agreed to the procedure and has asked put in for further written clarification. brushing gas is still flowing to germany, but the government wants to be prepared in case the tabs are suddenly switched off . it triggered an early warning status for gas supplies. it's the 1st of 3 steps in a gas emergency plan for germany. economy minister call by topic announced that a crisis team will now closely monitor supplies so that further steps can be taken if necessary. because organ, fisher, hope supplies are secure, or contracts are being fulfilled and gas and oil are arriving in germany as planned . so this is a preventive precautionary steps and the proven yawns or falls, oregon shied on. the

e and germany. the hope is that hydrogen could help germany accelerate efforts to de carbon eyes. a ukrainian man who survive the holocaust has been killed by russian shelling in hockey of 96 year old boris roman jenko, lived through nazi imprisonment and forced labor in several concentration camps, including both involved after world war 2, he returned home to hockey, where he became a prominent peace activist and campaigner, he was killed when his apartment block was hit by a russian shell. on friday. d w. news spoke to the director of the vault foundation here in germany, dr. young christian wagner, who knew boris roman jenko in person. we asked him for his reaction. i was really shocked. but when i go frequently came to the boom memorial to join our ceremonies, or the last of the of the, of the can. for example, he frequently spoke during these events. he had become a threat to us in the memorial and we remember him very. ready engaged in struggling against fascism for the memory of the camps and for peace and actually lost his life module owes them from 1945 what to build the

now germany is painted. he said it would not stop importing energy from russia g to its dependence . how concerned is berlin that russia may short off its gas lines? i think this announcement bureau, but harvey this morning shows that the burdens very concerned and and, and rightly so. i think if russia were to make that decision, germany could survive that the german economy could as well, but it would come in and very serious economic costs. so. so decision makers are worried about this. and to get out of this situation, of course, saving energy in improving energy efficiency is crucially important. and in that context, of course, this announcement, as i said, i think, is also a very clear signal that everyone who can should do what he can, which he can what the company can to, to conserve energy. how fast could germany replace rushes energy imports? well, it depends on the fuel, really and i think and that's important to realize for most fossil fuels we get from russia, ending dependents, ending imports i

what role is germany going to play here is germany going to be able to punch at its weight, or even above militarily in the future? an additional $100000000000.00 use is a huge step forward. but the german army for this is the period that it should not lead to the misunderstanding. and you get a comment ready army by 100 in use only. this is again, a huge step for the next few years that match, much more is needed for the current period of need to and you planning and to 2031 . so yes, it's a good message that our men will never be done. it's a permanent task we have to fulfill, and that's why the need to go to percent of our, our g p 4 defense is so crucial and is much more important than this volume of $100000000000.00 additional 1000000000 for the next 2 years. mr. thomas river and we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight, valuable insights into the transit land relations at the moment. thank you. thank you. or millions of people in china's largest city are now confined to their homes . authorities have imposed a 2 stage walk down in shanghai as china's largest cove at

and as we've seen from reporting from a germany's build daily, it seems like a system that germany is focusing on that would be considered good for germany, is the arrow 3 system and, and this is what is being discussed right now according to build the system would have a cost of around $2000000000.00 euros and would be able to be deployed starting in 2025. now, the radar system that would come with this or defense defense system would be a station in 3 different parts of germany. and then the data collected by the rater would come to one central military analysis point where a soldiers would check for any, any threats coming up from, from afar. and at that point to the arrow missile could be deployed to destroy any incoming missiles, up her high above, above germany, and destroy it there. so this is what is being discussed at the moment, apparently. ok, but julie, if we look at the geography, germany has known borders, all of those neighboring countries are friendly allied countries. so is this a bit unusual for the country to feel the need to defend itself in this way? i think this

and what about germany stance, in general, in this conflict, what kind of pressures is germany facing? well, germany, i mean, i think it was one thing that was very striking in the way the and alina babel frame the speech at the very beginning. she, she talks about the kind of shock to the system that this war is having an in germany, particularly because it really is on japanese doorstep. the way she put it. it's like the same distance to drive from flint book, one of japanese, no. most cities, the high book in the far south, that's a 10 hour drive, the same as the distance to ukraine. so feeling that this is very much on japanese doorstep. and that this just adds to the pressure for germany to kind of grow up in terms of, of putting together a national security strategy and saying that everybody has to be self critical to. and i think that kind of did run through her speech a sense of really honest reflection about jim niece, a national security perhaps striking also that this came a day off to the ukrainian president of them is lensky stood in the bonus tag. very upbraided in touch

if germany didn't do more to put pressure on russian. now, he said that german opposition to european union membership for ukraine was another break in this war. and he appealed to law sholtes, you know, tear down this wall, echoing ronald reagan, of course, in 1987 in his speech in front of the berlin wall and said, you know, germany should rise up to its leadership role. so really a tough, tough, tough words for the german parliament. and we know that germany has been praised on both sides of the atlantic for making a present to you turns in its foreign policy since the invasion began. but zalinski seemed to be pointing the finger at the error of angle, a miracle as a disaster for his country, especially her refusal to stop the north stream to gas pipeline between germany and russia. take listen to what he had to say. believe me, when will told you that north stream was a weapon? the preparation for a great war, believe we heard in response that it was about the economy. economy, economy, economy, economy. yeah. that's what i'm going t

and germany simply wouldn't listen. now he was called, sold to rise to the challenge, which for him means i am sending not just more weapons, but also being more actively involved. but for the german side, for nato, that would mean a step towards world war 3. and that is the argument why germany isn't doing more or though it is doing, i'm told a lot behind the scenes that we are not learning about me. so just to follow up on that quickly, what was your impression? how did that criticism go down there? it is m, well, i mean there's no, nobody is going to stand up and say it's, it's unacceptable at this point in time. there is a recognition within the german government that this is about the very essence, the very survival of the ukrainian states or whether the clearly that analysis is not shared. and the government feels that is taking up the chant and it is going above and beyond what it is has ever done before. not least seeing a german cancer souls moving position from not sending weapons to sending weapons. and doing

and over 200000 are in germany as well. and this is only the beginning, the longer the war lasts, the more citizens will seek refuge here moving and they will find it just a few days after the russian invasion on the un joined forces and competency of the you particularly said they would take more refugees people feeling the war and i'm glad about all of the volunteers who for weeks now have been working to try to support the people who fled their homes and come quite, you know, to, you know, germany, they have opened their hearts for the people, fling ukraine and have opened their doors to them as well and their homes. so this is a wonderful example of european solidarity and talk to us. i hardly spoke. i spoke of a turning point in history, and this means that you must be better able to defend itself. germany has decided to strengthen its armed forces. many countries have also announced that they plan to do. this is robert at the nato summit. this turning point in history means also that you must become more independent f

and nazi germany. history with the ukranian, russia. so this is all a very special moment, but a very, very important moment for the german foreign minister. and for germany, i would say here at the you and in america. yes. if i had these, these trends formative vince not occurred in the last 7 days on the line to bear book. she would be at the un tonight on a mission of reputation. damage control when she, because there was a lot of talk, particularly in the us, particularly in washington where you are, that germany is no longer a reliable partner, especially when we're dealing with an aggressive russia a absolutely right. and i guess actually, and i think we're a could go to this if we want it to ms. barbara is speaking as we speak here. okay . well, maybe we want to listen into this. let's go to mr. prince, do we have that? ok, i've been, i've told him we don't have that signal, steven. unfortunately, we don't have that signal. but as it is soon as we get the video and the only will come back to you
