his father and from whom schultz was so hard to leave on the day of his death.uld get such an experienced agent to travel around the city, but the fact that the schultz was followed, as long as you only think so, but even if a combat officer who went through hot spots would not arrange such a performance , the psychological portrait does not add up. in short, sergei dmitrievich, we have rambo on the run. he continues to threaten people. it is necessary to catch him. act in 3 days i have to inform the german colleagues of the progress of the investigation.

because he wanted schultz to feel the same as his father and from whom schultz was leaving so hard on the day of his death. i doubt that the lone gunman could have such an experienced agent roaming the city, but the fact that the schulz was followed, while only you think so. well, even if so a combat officer who passed through a hot spot would not arrange such a performance , the psychological portrait does not add up. in short, sergei dmitrievich, we have rambo on the run. he continues to threaten people. he needs to be caught. act in 3 days i have to to inform the german colleagues of the progress of the investigation. pavel they did find out, but how can i find out? well, they returned back like at home. i hear my name and i recognize it. do you know what will happen? why is it so hard to come back? need time. you are all a strict professor too. during this time, we also changed a lot, while you were gone. yes i was. how is yulia danyu all right? let's meet? i just wanted to see him. can we think of something? maybe you have pictures on your phone? but congratulations on your trans

all locked schultz says he wants to diversify germany's relationship with china. his comments. com as china is premier, leave the delegation to berlin. the trading partners are keen to reset times at a time of global change. also, additional time is running out for 5 people on board. a submarine deep in the north atlantic rescue crews are searching for the subs that went missing while taking taurus to see the rank of the titanic. and the a survivor of last week's shipwreck were united with his brother. now did you, when is calling for an investigation into greece is handling up to disaster the hello. i'm clear, richardson, thank you very much for joining us. german chancellor. all off schultz says he's speaking a more balanced relationship with china after hosting bilateral talks here in berlin. speaking after meeting with chinese premier lee chung schultz emphasize the importance of direct talks with aging and a challenge and global environment. he also called on china to raise its pressure on russia over the more and ukraine. the visit to berlin is premier lee c

schultz view that he hasn't engaged in anti union activity? >> they have definitely engaged in anti union activity. >> let me get to mr. bloch. if i heard you correctly you indicated that what you are seeing in starbucks is unprecedented? and that in modern history what starbucks is doing is also sending a signal to the corporate world that, in a sense, if they can get away with it other corporations can, as well? am i right on that? >> yes. i think that that is a fair interpretation of how this campaign may be perceived. in my mind, most importantly, among other low wage workers who work for large corporations that have the resources to engage in this type of drawn out, long, the litigation over their activity during an organizing campaign. what is the purpose, do you think, of these long never-ending efforts on the part of company? why do they do that? >> i try not to speculate on other people's motives but, you know, i am concerned that we are seeing, now, fewer petitions being filed by other starbucks employees. there can be lots of reason

well, it or schultz did too. there were no questions and it can be one side and they said that it was because of the chinese side that they, but the germans can be one side and they said that it was rolled off, rolled over on that demand. it was and can be one side and they said that it was it was the same when narendra modi was in berlin last year. and i think a dangerous precedent was set during that modi visit because of course, you know, it gives the chinese cover to say, well, you know, if you don't have to take questions with modi, why should we answer questions? um so yeah, there was a certain amount of kind of quiet uh outrage among the the the journalists there. and we'll have to see if the journalist could try to summon up some unity to uh to um to make more of a stand next time something like this happens. um but yeah, it was, it was quite a notable um press cononference partly because or or they called it a sort of an encounter with the press. there was no conference happening, of course, but how low

peter schultz has opted for this. his previous provider raised the electricity price to almost $0.60 if it's the investment, but they are released because actually many things that increased that my money that has an increase much or the wind farm does even more. the operator voluntarily transfers one percent of the profits to the child's associations. the mayor is also pleased with the income from the business tax and can offer residents even more. the bill was one of our citizens and we've limited this to our own village here and can make a direct capital investment in the wind farm. and they receive an annual interest of at least 4 percent off. yeah. and when the wind blows, it's even more fuel puts in when the vent each bit of mail word has spread. the secretary general of the world wind energy association from bon is visiting dot as time. he knows how important it is to get local residents on board. if the energy turn around is to succeed, ne people can identify with it. they become part of it. then they are to s

dw is lucio schultz and is in paris covering this story. lucy, another night of violence across france, despite the deployment of $40000.00 police officers. is there a sense that these riots are getting out of control? so you, you could actually say that sir, this night has been even worse than good. we have seen the nights before, and there has been a tax on also on stores. and observers say that this might be because the schools and police stations have been better protected. but then they, the people took the anger against the stores. uh oh sir. i saw images of the bus depot bed 12 boxes has been burned down. so the images that come from the phone over front, not only the parent suburbs anymore, of a very impressive dish or a big, big skate of destruction. and also this night the destruction also took it into paris and that has been stores um, destroyed here. um, so it is a certainly an unseen violence right now. aside from strengthening police presence on the streets, what is president in mind while account doing to handle this crisis? as you might have exxon is going to preside ov

and there isn't a great deal of appetite for uh uh for confronting china. schultz tried to walk this line on his 1st trip to badging late last year. speaking now it's about tensions in the relationship. well stressing the need to cooperate on global issues like climate change and mingled among the diplomats. he brought a squad of jam and ceos with him to talk business, which is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is pressing ahead with his controversial judicial reforms. after what he calls, months of wasteful compromise talks, he accused the opposition of stalling negotiations over their legislation. the proposal has divided israel. is there any prime minister benyamin netanyahu on his way to making an announcement that will rock and country already tuned by strife and a cabinet meeting he practiced? go ahead with the controversial legal of a whole. i know we will convene this week and begin the practical steps of what we will do so in a measured and responsible way. but in accordance with the mandate we received to amend the legal system the reform will give the government mos

schultz said almost the same thing in other words.said that we are now freed from the moral burden of history. well, this is practically the same thing, in general, it 's amazing how they repeat it all. it somehow reproduces everything and for good reason. they cross it all out, because there are shults nearby, for example, this so -called one. uh, the grand general of the era, that's who directly states that he wants to be defense minister. and this is diplomacy. it's like he's not writing for him. here are the articles. where paints means where what defense enterprises should be what needs to be done with logistics? this, of course, was funny with gurin and zakharov. uh in the film is shown about the war on this waistline we will do here. yes, in this now no one is fighting in a single-breasted one can no longer be identified. no one, in principle, you see, this whole article is a barrel. she was smooth could be the same phrase. but the set there is no longer howling, but parallel. after all, it is also easy in e. i switched to the

and there isn't a great deal of appetite for uh uh for confronting china. schultz tried to work this line on his 1st trip to the aging late last year. speaking out about tensions in the relationship well stressing the need to cooperate on global issues like climate change and mingled among the diplomats. he brought this quote of german ceos with him to tool business the destruction of a huge cook off, cut them and russian occupied sides. eastern ukraine has unleashed devastation on a vast scale flooding has forced thousands of people from their homes, while others have been left without running water. keep in moscow have blamed each other for destroying the don international experts say the evidence points to russian explosives of the water. not a single drop irina troy, and lives in nic upholden, southern ukraine. and since the dad was destroyed, the city's water supply has been cut. you're fairly spoken with bolts and bait with it. then we put the volts in the spacing and use it to flush the toilet. and what else can we do? there's no alternative mika poles, roughly 50000 remaining

years in the making. strategy focuses on defense resilience and sustainability. chancellor, all life schultz presented the documents along with his top ministers. they said national security goes beyond the armed forces and includes space, energy, food and climates. they also set the strategy will work to strength and defense against the espionage and sabotage. so let's hear more from what the german chancellor, how to say. wouldn't know that quote, in the negotiations on the formation of the coalition, we had agreed that we would work up such a national security strategy again that this was before the tide and vendor, the tiny part in history before the invasion in ukraine, before the brutal war of aggression that has since been raging into ukraine and before the explosion of the norfolk sweep pipelines. i emphasize all these events to make clear how soon food for thought you on a line totally of the security environment. in the has changed for germany in the past, wanted to help us despite oil changes, it remains the call task, offered the state to ensure the security of its citizens. and

we'd like to talk to again after we hear remarks from schultz and stilton birth. later we're gonna be covering that live here onto the news as soon as it starts. for now the, let's turn to some other news and us the secretary of state antony blinking has met with china's present. she's been paying on the final day of his visit to beijing and initial signals fall we just over half an hour of talks are positive. she says he believes in us and china can overcome various difficulties. i think that the 2 sides did make progress on specific issues. and she also said both powers are, should act with a, quote, a sense of responsibility for the world. this meeting, of course, comes as both washington and beijing are looking to stop soaring tensions from escalating into conflict. we spoke earlier to journalist at 5, you in a crash bar in beijing and asked him about the chinese presidents decision to actually meet with lincoln. but it's definitely a good sign that's a signal that the international community has been hoping for that. and it will be the climax of a blinking vi

all of schultz blaming him for fueling the ukraine conflict. the show the, the angry crowd demanded the chancellor's resignation. having faced opposition and public discontent, chancellor schultz made an attempt to justify his assistance to ukraine, admitted constance cries of anger from the audience. tired of the crowds chanting schultz ended his speech with a sarcastic remark and walked off stage incident took place at an f. b. d party festival in the suburbs of berlin. that's a rep on the hour for the latest breaking news and updates head over to r t dot com and be sure to follow us on social media. thanks for turning in. we'll see you back at the top of the hour. the alright sanchez, i've been doing news now for 30 years to languages all over the world. here in the united states interviewed for us. presidents co founded a $1000000000.00 business. i believe news should be honest and direct pen and pencil. and this is the what do you start with something really fascinating because finally it's happened. you know, the lives, the exaggerations,

the strategy focuses on defense resilience and sustainability. chancellor a lot. schultz presented the document along with his top ministers. they said national security goes beyond the armed forces and will include the face and the energy charge for food and climate. since they also said the strategy will work to strength and defend against espionage and sabotage. which here is a transfer shots with more stop in those lights. so despite all the changes that remains the central task of the states to ensure the security of its citizens without comfortable, is that because without security, that can be no freedom, no stability, no prosperity can obviously judge that the national security strategy follows the guiding principle of integrated security, it's not just about defends and windows. well, what about the entire range of our security? lateesha knows from diplomacy to the police sector, fire department and technical a organizations reduces williams calling effect. and our trip international editor was there to report. richard walker trans been out from berlin. hi richard. it's a take

i think there's a view from some, including probably schultz himself, that incessant economic areas. the 2 sides even need to be increasing economic ties and i think there's others including other parts of the german government. the thing that this is a misplaced view, and the d risking approach needs to be a more comprehensive while, i think the general concept is one that everyone has some settling around, even if those factors taking place on how expensively to define it. can you tell us a little bit more about this upcoming meeting? i understand it's primarily business based. is that the case a it's a is a mean. this is these by natural govern. exchange has to be taking place for some time a, b, c. they've been on hiatus for a while as a result of the 10 demik. they've always been a little bit contentious because they all these kind of sweeping exchange is taking place with a lot of ministers in town. it's an unusual format. it's not one of the european countries have it once upon a time, it did maybe mirror of what you had with the united states and the strategic and economic di

that's 44 wind turbines are in operation here, but no one likes them, like tanya schultz who misses her unobstructed view and something else upsets her. the increased electricity prices. she has to order electricity elsewhere, and her provider is now raised the price per kilowatt hour from $22.00 to $0.46 a month with letters. yes, one becomes naturally angry. they basically double the price per kilowatt hour and that's we've got everything on our doorstep and we don't get anything out of it to them. everything becomes more expensive and we get nothing. o one, please. types to bad. doesn't focus us auto. back in dodge of time, things are obviously very different here. the wind farm has made sure of that. it gives local residents a share of its profit. i can do so. residents can benefit from cheap electricity, $0.30 per kilowatt hour. peter sholtes has opted for this. his previous provider raised the electricity price to almost $0.60. if it's the investment they are released is because actually many things that increased accept my money that has an increase much the wind farm does even m

here's chancellor schultz, but more in those lights, despite all the changes, it remains the essential task of the state to ensure the security of its citizens without comfortable. is that because without security, there can be no freedom, no stability, no prosperity. now does the judge said that the national security strategy follows the guiding principle of integrated security? it's not just about defends into one, dismantle, but about the entire range of our security. lateesha knows from diplomacy to the police inspector, fire department, and technical a. organizations reduces williams calling effect. i spoke earlier, torture international editor richard walker, who was at that presentation of this new security strategy. he has more well, i think maybe the one kind of home, a simple message that the people around the world can latch onto him, particularly here in western europe. and in the broad a west is germany in black and white in this very formal document. the 1st national security strategy that it is ever published, announcing that it will meet the nato target spending 2 perce

so joining me now is dw brussels correspondence tearing schultz. terry. great to see, you know, natal members have been cautious about commenting on the events in russia. is that surprising to you? that's right. in fact, that there have been virtually no comments today from either nato leaders, even european union leaders or the heads of state and government along the eastern flag who spoke out very strongly yesterday immediately saying they were keeping a close eye on things. they were strengthening their border restrictions and even making sure that russians could not flee from russia into their countries. today, they've been completely silent. so i've been keeping an eye on that and i thought some of them might to might speak out a little bit more. but when you think about it, it's not so surprising when you realize that what they're worried about is their own territory. once things calmed down and it became clear, there was not a threat to nato territory to these countries along the eastern plank. any immediate threat. that is, is not so surprising th

the joining me now is dw brussels correspondent, terry schultz. terry e. u members appear to be very cautious about reacting to the events in russia. why is that? that's true, where we saw a lot of statements yesterday. well, things were underway, talking with leaders talking about how they were securing their own territory along the eastern plank, putting extra border restrictions on the border with russia. today, everyone's gone quiet. there's been no statements that i've seen so far from you leaders or from national leaders like the baltic states, nor from nato. so i think everyone is just waiting to see what happens next. there's going to be a lot of analysis needed to figure out what this means for what russia, what this means for putting in therefore, what it means for the european union. um, for nato. how prepared was the you for these developments, or was it a surprise? and i think when we see this report in the washington post that the us learned in mid june, that's per goes in, was planning something, some kind of insurrection against moscow. you

we are, whatever it takes for all of schultz on this one. it takes for all of schultz on this one-— it with us in the studio i this one. great, great to have you with us in the studio here i you with us in the studio here in washington. before we go just a reminder of that top story, donald trump again indicted, this time a federal case. us house speaker kevin mccarthy has said, today is indeed a dark day for the united states of america, it is unconscionable for a president to indict the leading candidate opposing him. iand to indict the leading candidate opposing him. i and every american who believes in the rule of law stand with resident drum, so that is with the speaker of the house, president trump has denied any wrongdoing in this case, he has also said that he will appear in a federal courthouse in miami on tuesday at 3pm so this is news that has come down to us in the past hour or two and will continue to keep you updated at the top of the next hour. thank you for watching bbc news. hello. love it or loathe it, a spell of very warm weather's upon us — but what will be less des

a promise that schultz made back in 2021 and cited china as a major threat. for some reason, schultz figured that right now would be a good time to roll out some insults for as distinguished invited guests, even though we could have done it months ago or even after they've left. china is drying in various ways to remote the existing rules based international order is a starting originally dominant position was ever more vigor acting time and again count or to our interest and values. meanwhile, last thursday, the european commission encourage member states to restrict or exclude the equipment of chinese telecom giants while way, n z e from national 5 g networks and announced it would be blocking them as suppliers to the commission. 24 of the use 27 member countries are already working on blocking the chinese companies. but that's apparently not good enough or fast enough for the you is just too slow to dispose this major security risk and expose the union connectivity security. we cannot afford to maintain critical dependencies. such code become a weapon agai

no questions from journalists were allowed. premier lee and chancellor schultz stress the importance of dialogue despite the differences. their focus was clearly on the economy to joey. so do you think we continue to strengthen our cooperation in science, technology, and trade? yet we will contribute to the stability of the world economy. w. sholtes demanded fair competition from an aging and urged compliance with labor standards and human rights and supply chains. but such as i often say it and stressed it again today with my colleague, lee, we have no interest in economic decoupling from china. instead, germany wants to become more independent of its most important trading partner. but the strategy known as the risking was not high on the chancellor's agenda. to the annoyance of his green party coalition partner, schultz managed to get the chinese state shipping company costco, to invest in a hamper container terminals that is in critical infrastructure. in which direction is the new german china strategy headed richard the chinese primrose refused to take questions during the pres
