also, when it comes to the gas pipeline, that germany would be keen on between, you know, spain and germany, probably also france goods, rethink its, its opposition so. so these differences are, can definitely be breached. but it basically entails germany to understand that it is fine to pursue its own self interest. but it is in the self interest of germany to stick to the original spirit of, of european corporation and to the fundamentals of the of the single market. ok, let's drill down now into some of the specifics you've all mentioned them, but i'd like to focus on defense to begin with. so the defense strategy, as we've been saying is, is one issue. and commentators over in france have said that the way that berlin has chosen to go to down its own way rather than find and accord with parents. for example, when it comes to buying f $35.00 fighter jets from the united states. why would this alarm france evo? well, the, the big term which was also central for a frances presidency of the rotating you present since the beginning of this year. the 1st talk was european serenity to establis

you can often hear criticism of germany that germany is very slow allocates weapons to ukraine, but as can see, these and the weapons that germany allocates now are very powerful , they change the situation at the front and in germany, and this is my german diplomats. they are talking about it, well, such procedures cannot be adopted there very quickly a decision is needed, time is needed, all these procedures must be passed before the decision is adopted, will be valid and will be implemented but at the same time, there is no such feeling that france and germany are competing with each other who will help ukraine more and who will help ukraine better hello, what are your feelings, how are you to journalists in paris and how is france trying to lead this european aid to ukraine or not? i wouldn't say that it is still competing for some first positions . in diplomacy, that is, he i would like to have the position of, let's say, the informal diplomatic leader of the european countries, well, this is obviously related to his cloudless, completely unsuccessful negotiations with putin, whic

it is that the germany is becoming a normal country. it does no longer feel the need to, to, to make certain concessions because of its world war to guilt. basically, to the extent that it used to make these concessions. however, death set. i think if you look at what both sides are annoyed about, you know, the solution is not necessarily so complicated to sum up, i think the solution is to try to remain within the spirits of, of european cooperation. and if you, for example, look at the 200000000000 release package mass spending by the german government to help its company's been clearly this is not in line with the single market with fair competition. so i think the french definitely have a point on the other hand, when franz is asking for price regulation, and germany warning that if you regulate the prices of gas, you may end up with no gas. i think there to look at it from the european spirits and the market mechanism. germany is more on the right side of affairs. also, when it comes to this gas pipeline, that germany would be keen

but what would taiwan then like in return from germany? i think one of the key and top issue for taiwan based on my conversation with lawmakers here and also experts here. and they think that is a strengthening the bilateral trait ties, and they are hoping that may be some kind of discussion kim, be started through this delegation visit by the potentially exploring the possibility of establishing the bilateral trade agreement. of course, that is a years of steps that will have to be taken, but some of the experts even suggest if germany was able to actually take the 1st step with taiwan, it could even become the reference point for future e u, ty one byler bilateral trade agreement which the european parliament has actually been. bring this up over the last few months. what about the delivery of something like arms? i think for taiwan, they are. the current government is very practical. a bell. the possibility of essentially because the u. s. has the taiwan relations act that requires us to play that role, but there is no such law that exi

we're going to lose one and a half 1000000. industrial jobs in germany. germany is the motor of europe's economy. if that happens, it's going to be felt in every country when germany catches a cold, it's pneumonia and the rest of the continent. now the, the fact is that the chancellor was forced to shift at least minimally on the anti nuclear policy. so they'll keep 3 plants open until next april. there's a fight from industry saying that's not adequate. when shows went to the middle east to try and come up with oil and natural gas that didn't work. there are limited options and now something to keep an eye on. i just was informed today that the treasury us treasury department and state department sent 3 officials to turkey to warn the turkish government about becoming too closely linked with russia. so any of these changes are going to come with a political brawl, and we'll see, to what extent the nato threat and the threat coming from the united states can keep these countries in line. can i ask you something about a germany being and the motor of, of the european economy? because the

and germany need to cooperate with france. the german coalition is in the middle of the conflict internally. you have an issue when it comes to nuclear power. true for example when he announced the $100 million in defense, half of that would be spent on replenishing munitions. it will be a key part of the air force, canceled the trolls. by signing the air defense shield with 13 nato states, this is a problem because normally we see france going rogue but now we're seeing the german state trying to move away. >> largely as a result of the ukraine war. state aid to businesses and household to get them through the crisis was seen as a betrayal by france. as germany right to go at this alone? >> no. it's not very hard to see this is a violation of fair competition within the european union, subsidies, if you're talking about such a massive support program, it's hard to argue this is merely supporting businesses in a reasonable manner. this goes way beyond, when you have the same government that has not decided to keep its nuclear

the government here in berlin has given permission for china to invest in germany's biggest shipping container terminal. the chinese giant costco will now be allowed to buy a stake in the port of hamburg. it's a controversial deal that's going ahead despite loud cause for it not to buy the concerns of becoming more dependent on china, germany's top trading partner. so that led to a compromise elating cause co by a smaller stake day. and it had initially wanted the w political correspondent emanuel shars, joins us now from our parliamentary studios. emma, hi there. could you flesh out the details of this hamburg deal for us? well jerry, you've mentioned that this is a compromise initially. costco wanted to acquire a 35 percent stake in the operator of germany's biggest container terminal in hamburg. but the chancellor's cabinet has now agreed to a deal on a smaller stake and less than 25 percent due to a growing concerns over the consequences of such a deal, such as increasing germany's dependency towards china. but also out of security concerns with china, china's agents are presence

and i think there is something to learn from germany. and of course, that are off topics that taiwan looks at germany. me for example, i have been to title them some years ago when they wanted to establish some late justice system. i could tell about germany and in these times they have a late justice system which is quite close to the german system. and so with important, doubtless cooperation and nothing. china should not. i should not interfere in this cooperation because we strengthened. ready facies in germany at taiwan with this cooperation, have you had the chinese side say that you are doing in exactly that it interfering in china's internal affairs and breaching germany's own one china policy? do you see your, your visit as being in line with germany, one china policy? are you committed to this policy of one china that does not recognize taiwan is independent. it's important that we have this corporation for many, many years already. and it's established that not the president of the bonus tag is that going to to, to taiwan, and

so the 100000000 in germany are money to fill gaps. we have been just shifting material from one part to another part of the only 2 peak different cooperation. but then always ending up with being a frenchman. and it cuts up big money, it's not even money that will be a permanent boast. so we don't know how you read maybe much more money in order to overcome this huge gap immediately. and the approach at this time to bide from rec, not to develop these poses a lot of a rotation for joined, for almost sustainable europe based defense capacity building right on the french. that is the background. like let me just a local thing has to do with internal struggle over the german governing coalition to come to terms with, with the hyper problem. and that explains a lot. not only is peter sent that germany has become in almost the country. we see it in the sense and other fields in different ways which alter p. understand right. and julian, that is something that you brought up a moment ago that this could have something to do with germany's d

to germany, uh, and through the big one.new bypass of ukraine, we then preferred the option without transit at all. yes , andrey alexandrovich, let's clarify this again russian gas associated project yes, russian, yes, that is, instead of nord stream 1, we were offered to transport our gas from the area, respectively, the gulf of finland through the territory of the baltic states, through the territory of poland only by land. to germany, that is, the starting point is the same, we are the area of ​​​​st. estonia latvia lithuania further entrance, respectively, to poland further, accordingly, it enters germany, that is, they themselves wanted to become a transit party on the path of our deliveries, that is, it plays the role that they accuse germany of today because they wanted to regulate these russian deliveries themselves and , of course, receive transit payments. that is, they offered themselves as an alternative. e ukraine this is in addition to the fact that europe's yamal pipeline which started in the nineties was buil

and what if we see germany, for example, as you said america without california, for example, germanyier, i don’t know how most russian flags go out into the street. here, look every monday in germany for the industrialization of high prices, the people are dissatisfied with schultz, he laughs it all funny. here they go, it's not with a macron. here, uh, overlapping, damn it. these are the three morons of this force, as the russian folk saying says, they have strange devils, that a complete misfortune is happening, which means they will have fun supporting the ukrainian nazis. banderachen i lakes good bandera chukevich put an end to it. so, for the first time, this posture sounded loudly. how is there civil disobedience acts of civil disobedience under the german constitution when the government harms the people, they are permissible criminally, not punishable. this means autobahns can be blocked. it is possible to block the railway, that's all, well, it doesn't call. it is you , the inhabitants of western europe, who decide now to start strongly invoking the partisan movement. this i

how is it in the example of germany what is happening today due to the fact that germany is involved uh, in ukraine, in fact today, uh, to the detriment of itself, it destroys markets, destroys its economy and is already becoming. not subjects of discussion, but the fact that the automotive industry was transferred to america. this means that if you look at the structure of germany's gdp. compare it there with china with america, then germany stood out sharply even in european among european countries in that it had a very marginal part. uh, heavy, well, not heavy industry at all, which was, uh, created by the hands of the germans. and today the americans are faced with the fact that the structure of their gdp consists mostly of services and, accordingly, they realized that they need to pull the industry. from where yes from europe and above all because of germany in fact. today they have already destroyed the economy and europe as a whole and germany as the foundations of this union and are transferring the entire industry, which did not get victims to america - this is for its own

dissolved and joined the federal republic of germany, which until then was west germany. the unification created a single german stay for the 1st time since the end of the 2nd world war in 1945. now the union of west and east has brought power and prosperity to the german republic. but many divisions and disappointments remain. the line on the 3rd of october 1990. when to germany's became one again, it was soviet leader, girl but shelves, policies of glass in austin, perestroika had thought about jim and re unification. the full of the war marked the beginning of a new chapter for germany and the beginning of a new era of appeasement, between east and west, russia and europe. we're both at 32 years later, putin's when ukraine has fundamentally changed that relationship. germany has imposed far reaching sanctions on russia and is now sending heavy weapons to fight russian soldiers on ukrainian soil. and ordinary germans attitudes towards russia have changed hot to shoot my men's hasn't changed considerably because i hadn't quite expected russia to act with as much brutalit

germany, latvia, and estonia. august the 22nd 1939. moscow. the soviet commissar for foreign affairs, molotov, and german foreign minister, reuben trump, signed a non aggression pact. the pack made it impossible for nazi germany to form alliances with other states. but these over the youngest chauffeur, hinden dashed chamberlain on that day should. these are fashion tissue masons are to them. he knew of action, england on franklin dusk. i've been misjudged it. tuition the inc. i'm from chrysler dodge fund, some by $40.00 an hour on with the united states continued its policy of appeasing imperial japan. the americans held on to the hope that japan would re focus his attention on the ussr. the soviet union did not want to be caught fighting a 2 front war and war with japan and the east and also a war with germany in the west. and they knew that the germans were going to attack sooner or later. also, when the british and french refused to form an alliance against germany, was to study in the polish government also r

germany, latvia, and estonia. august the 22nd 1939, moscow. mm. the soviet commerce of foreign affairs, molotov, and german foreign minister, reuben trump, signed a non aggression pact. the pack made it impossible for nazi germany to form alliances with other states. studies of it on his show for him, then dashed chambray. and on that day, should these a fresh restitution mason's or to them? he knew of action, england on franklin dusk. i've been magenta. did tradition. the thing i'm from brown dodge fund. somebody quoted italian out on it. the united states continued its policy of appeasing imperial japan. the americans held on to the hope that japan would re focus his attention on the u. s. i saw the soviet union did not want to be caught fighting a 2 front war war with japan. and the east, and also a war with germany in the west. and they knew that the germans were going to attack sooner or later. also, when the british and french refused to form an alliance against germany with the saudi, the polish government

germany. the bottom 5 are all eastern german states can be some time before they catch up with the german average. then in terms of politics or you see it in terms of the willingness to vote for her parties. at the more extreme end of the political spectrum, whether it's a left party, which was one of the inheritance of the east german communist party, or more recently the a f d. the far right, a populous party, which is roughly twice as popular niece and germany as it is in western germany. and you also see it in a sense of kind of mistrust of the government. for instance, in terms of the corona virus, the vaccination rates in eastern german states are also at the bottom of the rankings. in fact, there's a, a protest of anti vaccine protest is taking place right by hi me. here at the brandenburg gate today and her a figure this recently been published in survey by the german government and pointed to a real concern, which is now that only 39 percent according to the survey of people in easter

moving into eastern germany, you get a sense of it, but east germany is turning the tables. and finally, a new book at one of his stern bowl oldest landmarks. these drone images were taken after 5 years of restoration work at the cities underground cistern. it was built in $542.00 to supply water to the roman empires, new eastern capital. james bond, fans may also recognize the chamber from the 1963 movie from russia, with love. and reminder, the top story this, our ukranian forces are reported to be recapturing territory in the south of the country in their biggest breakthrough there since the start of the war. an official installed by russia acknowledged that ukraine has made advances in the higher san region. one afford that russia illegally annexed last week. you're watching d. w. news coming up next in d. w, and use asia. why german and peas are visiting taiwan when germany doesn't have diplomatic ties with. and why caring for one's elderly relatives in india is moving families to business up next d w. news asia, with my call, i've been to join or news the top the hour

and this position did for germany at odds with its allies when it comes to energy deals. for example, that was dw political correspondent, manual shows the manual. thank you. but even after the german cabinet approve the deal, germany's foreign ministry sounded a warning again. it says that the chinese investment in hamburg, increased dependence on china and put european transport projects in danger. china's foreign ministry meantime, had this to say, little cooperation is mutually beneficial. all involved should be reasonable and stop speculating to digest chinese foreign ministry spokesman wang when been de speaking after germany's government approved a deal to allow a chinese shipping giant to a by a stake in the port of humbug. ah, to india now way figures shari, that it's back sliding in it's fight against malnutrition, the newly released world hunger index. now places india behind its neighbors, including bangladesh, sri lanka, and myanmar in its rankings. it's estimated that more than $3000000.00 children in india, malnourished about half of them severely. he's mor

to deliver some months ago, but germany denied. so if there is an idea to do that, germany has to lift. it's a baron barriers against other countries. and to allow them to give the permission to deliver this, it would be best if this initiative would be back all 30 countries to show us the deliberation of the european union member states and and together, every country in each country might deliver about $10.00 to $15.00 we would have 3 battalions which could be delivered, and this would help also, the ukrainian forces to attack. let me ask you a about before we run out of time tonight about russia's hybrid warfare and defense against that, do you see russia's hand in the explosions of the nord stream gas pipelines and the possible sabotage on the german rail infrastructure that we saw in just a few days ago, one has to be a very sofa and we need to analyze that it will take several weeks because russia is pumping and thousands of tons of gas through the destroyer pipelines so that it is impossible to get a forensic analysis on the

the bill suit ski hit to a pack between poland and germany aside. 1935. the naval agreement between britain and germany is concluded. 19 associate bristol france and italy agree to defy czechoslovakia between germany, poland, and hungary. 1939 non aggression treaties assigned between german latvia and estonia. august the 22nd 1939. moscow. the soviet commerce of foreign affairs, molotov and german foreign minister reba trope sign or non aggression pact. the pac made it impossible for nazi germany to form alliances with other states for these over 2 years. so for hinder dash chamberlain on that day, should these fresh restitution masons or to them he knew by baxon england on franklin dusk. i've been magenta. did titian think i'm from brown dodge fund? somebody will italian out on it. the united states continued its policy of appeasing imperial japan. the americans held on to the hope that japan would re focus his attention on the ussr. the soviet union did not want to be caught fighting a 2 front war war with japan and the east, and also a war of germany i

, whether it will supply tanks or not, it's only germany that behaves passively here in germany it is really so controversial the question, well, german tanks have already been used in ukraine, and that's why it's so difficult for germany to decide, and that's why the german government would like to do it collectively so that there are several countries like which we decided to do it and then germany will do it too. well, maybe the situation will somehow change from the middle of october, because now germany is one of our main european partners, of course, for which ukraine is very grateful, but our relations could be better and some of the observers political believe that the new ambassador oleksiy makeev, who will replace andriy melnyk, will be able to give new impetus to ukrainian-german relations, you also belong to those who believe that with a new ambassador the situation in the relations between our countries can improve, well, it is good that there will be a new ambassador but i think that in general the role he sent both the old ambassador and the new one. it is not that big.

for words from germany's chancellor, as he opens a conference on the reconstruction of ukraine following russia's invasion, the talk is of a program on the scale of the marshall plan. how realistic is the goal? also coming up, russia is with locating tens of thousands of residents from an area that it annexed last month in anticipation of a ukrainian counter offensive. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. international leaders, including germany's olaf schultz, our meeting in berlin to discuss the rebuilding of ukraine after russia's invasion . delegates said reconstruction must start immediately, even though there is no end inside to the war. joining by video link ukrainian president below 2 years lensky said for his country to get back on its feet. the international community must cover a $38000000000.00 hole in next year's budget. germany's schoultz said that the task of rebuilding required the combined strength of the entire world in particular, schultz pledged his country's continued support for ukraine and sad germany had learned from its own past. from our own historian, h

i grew up in communist east germany. i was 11 when the berlin wall fell. i basically grew up improvising condo that gave me the strive to invent things, try them out, combine them new ways, or we purpose them. i think it's incredibly exciting to make your own creation out of them. that's money that agnes thing that all the equipment stephanie learning uses for her fall. mark is inventive to i'm gonna blow. we've got blue, red and yellow. and basically the fluids in here are lost and it comes out here and runs into this garden mixing unit i, bree purchased it, and i put in the 3 colors here. then i can turn the colors on it off. if i mix blue and yellow, i get green, of course. and that basically green coloring runs through here and is split between the 2 pipes from the 2 pumps. 2 houses go directly up to these 2 phone machines. stephanie learnings foam installation is being presented at than we blash art festival in paris. but is it real art or just fun with colors? well, you might think it's silly at 1st, but it's quite beautiful. and sometimes art is jus

now, the criticism of germany was very harsh in the beginning of the war because germany was reluctant to provide weapons. has some, has somewhat softening, but germany is still a con. considered a country that is well, never very much is not leading in these discussions and needs to be convinced very slowly. and this speech is certainly not going to change that. but on the other hand, of course, discussions about weapon systems, about deliveries of weapon systems, about financial aid. they are not so of via public speeches, but via diplomacy, via talks between the 2 sides. and that's, of course, something that is happening. we've seen this week that was in the other talk between the minister of defense of ukraine and of germany. so these talks are going on, the substance is decided they're not in public speeches, but it's step if somebody had expected that shows might come out with new announcements. this has definitely not happened in this speech. it's pretty much, even the wording things i hear said before. so just to make it very clear to our viewers, germany has said it will conti

here in germany too, it plunged. does it go into a different era into a period of uncertainty that we thought had been overcome a period mike by war alliance, people having to flee their homes in the bike worries about war splattering into a conflagration in europe and one in the time of severe economic upheaval, energy, chrysler, and exploding prices approximately a time in which our successful model of a globally networked economy has come under pressure and inside a time in which she gets the social cohesion. and in more contrast democracy. and more than that own and trust in ourselves has been damaged when it did come, current policy makers cannot work miracles. no one has one was positive and not even a german president can take away. all our worries in these profoundly uncertain times grabbed us feelers on the contrary. and i believe that many of these worries are legitimate. we are experiencing the deepest crisis. our united germany has ever known. a been about, sorry, been gone, but i am firmly convinced that

i was already in germany before pieris arrived. he's been here since 2017, but he's reluctant to talk about the exact reasons why he has stayed out of fear for his family. a lot of other than for me that can be there tomor fallacy. i don't want to go into details indeed on. but for political reasons, home, i wouldn't have felt safe if i'd gone back to my mom yet understood myself before like pieris or he hadn't planned to become a refugee back home. he was at risk of going to prison. staying in germany meant starting from scratch. cool. he had with him, was a satchel, like this one was regarding a saw, the feeling i got from germany was one of safety or food. i knew i had support and will be able to return to a normal life. while also resuming my sporting career isn't to do her fe baghdad, but there are limits to that support a life in exile also means having to fight for your own statist. filling out applications, arranging appointments and spending hours, traveling to different authorities. for catherine and pieris are alike, it'

a populace party, which is roughly twice as popular nice and germany as it is in western germany. and you also see it in a sense of kind of mistrust of the government. for instance, in terms of the corona virus, the vaccination rates in eastern germans states are also at the bottom of the rankings. in fact, there's a, a protest of anti vaccine protest is taking place right. bye. hi me here at the brand of berg gate today. and are a figure this recently been published in the survey by the german government and pointed to a real concern, which is now that only 39 percent according to the survey of people in eastern germany, as satisfied with democracy. and that, that is 20 points lower than in western germany. so that is kind of adding to concerns that democracy itself, that the roots haven't really taken as firm a hold in east germany as you might have hope by this stage. now is this really all so grim or do you also have some more positive science yet will actually get how they really are some more positive side. so we talked about the economy at the beginning. there was some of t

, germany so far right to position party, the alternative for germany or a hefty exploit and concerns about energy prices and the rising cost of living partly triggered by roches war against ukraine. the party has organized the last school demonstration in berlin today on the demo to our country fest a number of counter demonstrations by left when groups trade unions and anti racism groups have also registered to speak out against the the ready people go correspondent and told us what he had to put it as one to the german government to do yes, we see behind me the tail end of the demonstration. the people have just started marching from this square here in front of the. i talked to german parliament that protesting against the rising cost of living against the rising energy prices. and they've been organized here by the far right. property list, alternative for germany party. we're just trying to make political capital out of the situation out of the dire situation on, in terms of inflation and energy, energy cost. so the party is saying and the protesters are saying that germany shou

what germany keeps dressing. and the chancellor himself as well is that germany has adopted measures that are in line with you. rule so he says there can be no talk of germany going it alone. he says, of course, because we're a big nation. everybody is watching us all this more closely. but essentially, germany has promised a german voters of that 200000000000 euros will be spent up to 200000000000 euros over the next 3 years. so that consumers, but also companies can deal with those high energy prices. now that has drawn criticism from you partners because of course not every country has the financial coffers where they can just pull out money like that, like germany is promising to do. but then at the topic of energy, of course, is something where it will have shows that said, this is just a measure that we need for the transition period. we need to become more sovereign, we need to become more independent. we do need to take these measures at the moment, but what we also need to talk about, he says, is add the

and germany signed unable agreement. 1938. the u. k. france and italy. agree to the petition of czechoslovakia between germany, poland, and hungary. 1939 latvia under stony assigned non aggression facts with germany. as vox log us, i'm, i'm an golf from deutsch front door to launch and wendy's of it on your knees, pushed him to mos numb egleston heter some type. paul don via das. i'm for far less ish tv isn't oh, the magnet folks gave me well. and i guess he wagner and england stayed on the arkansas amino field is what? well known american author, dean henderson thinks of past events. poland and hungary invaded czechoslovakia before hitler invaded poland because poland and hungary work and already with the nazis and france in england basically threw czechoslovakia under the bus. and they don't really want us to remember that part you see, but they just abandon them and. and again, if hadn't been for stolen coming on the eastern front, they would abandon a lot more people in eastern europe as well. mm hm. 11 on september the 19th 2019
