u. s. and china and russia using this field to pursue their own strategic interest. how uncomfortable is they for norway? well, i think you said general description of the situation that there is more like status full in the arctic. we are trying to do to keep low tension in the height and off. well, we can really see very visible climate change up there. we need to corporate very strongly with the other artic nation. no way has of course being a nato member from the very start of the alliance. now finland and sweden olson. scandinavia are about to join the alliance. what hopes do you have for them membership? it means a lot to always security because he had been stronger and stronger together with finland and sweden over the last years after 1989. but still the has been, have been limitations due to the fact that they have been neutral and we've been a member of nato. now it's very much easier to build a common defense strategy that will make no with say for the nato alliance has given itself the goal of spending 2 percent of the national budget on defense. now, wha

u. s. and china, electronics, pharmaceuticals and chemical products help fuel bilateral trade here. but trade in automotive components alone was worth almost $2000000000.20, and alice audi factory. local workers are benefiting from germany's traditional apprentice program. this scheme sees employers training future workers for the demands of their workplace assuring. the company gets high caliber employees and giving the worker critically needed skills for the job market. now it's going to take plenty of energy to charge. one of these things here, a battery powered semi truck now on display in hanover, germany because a charging station is actually what's necessary. that's part of the problem for the greening of commercial fleets. the infrastructure often isn't there, at least in the scale. this required has a look from this weeks i delay transportation. these rigs were supposed to be the future of freight transport on the road. electric trucks running on green energy, dimed or is batting big and electric and has unveiled a world 1st. the prototype of the e actress long whole with a

u. s. 2, when this is happening, i think the 2 giants of russia and china, they will actually eventually pull apart. and so i think the u. s. it just comes to back and, and watch the show. i think that this idea of a rules based order. i mean, it sounds like russia and china have such great plans, i mean, an unprovoked war and ukraine. what's happening in john? this is another key issue that she just needs to get some sort of agreement from to kind of not to talk about this in john, you on the report because this is kind of alienating muslims in central asia. and so if the leadership tries to down play this, that's a key issue because john is also the gateway on the mountain road initiative. so this is also a point of fiction. so it's a difficult diplomatic balancing act that she's being has to do. he has to try to talk to kyle, because that if he blocks his initiative, the whole bell to road is dead. and i would say that we're seeing of differ cation world order between west and is a pacific for including australia, new zealand, japan and south korea, and the rest, iran, india, russia,

u. s. and china and to some extent between the u . s. russia. and the other is, i think more important the kind of raise between government built systems and the increasing capabilities the commercial sector to deliver several launch services. so the more you say, i mean, this isn't to be an unmanned mission. how important is it for nasa? how vital to get humans back up to the well, it's important to go to the moon because there are a huge economic and eventually huge environmental benefits to, to the earth from exploiting back resources that are on the mountain. because of that potential between the great powers to, to get there and start to map, it's got to be done. that said, again, they're going to take their time and they'd be cautious and get this right. they cannot afford to failure on this be a do the space mission, still galvanize galvanized i should say populations back on us. that's perhaps the early apollo missions did all those years ago. yes, absolutely. i mean, i was out there on sunday for the 1st launch champ, i and it was a ful

and major issues of concern? china expresses his understanding and full support for russia. there's yeah, sure. who hello on the ukraine issue, for example, the u. s. and nato are expanding directly on russia's doorstep, threatening rushes, national security and the lives of russian citizens. given the circumstances, russia has taken necessary measures. china understands, and we are coordinating on various aspects, mo, who do. i believe russia was cornered, in this case, to protect the country's core interests. russia gave a resolute response. let's take a look at russia and chinese relationship. in february, they declared a no limits partnership. and china has criticized sanctions imposed over the war in ukraine while expanding trade. it was also russia's 2nd largest arms buyer. but in march, u. s. officials reported that moscow had requested beijing's military assistance in the conflict. now the european union punished russia by removing it from the international money transfer system. swift china is reported to have offered assistance with its own system. and in june, our president, she hosted the bricks summit for the developing economies of b

u. s. has its hands clean a claim, it's been weaving for years now. simply doesn't hold any water. and now china has clearly enough and is explicitly naming and shaming those it themes responsible. while bringing the receipts to prove it. it seems that the hacking victim narrative from the u. s. has too many holes and it's simply falling apart, potentially exposing it as the very perpetrator. earlier we spoke to michael reg, some old, an author and former new york university professor. he says such allegations are making us china relations even worse. these deflections by the, by the campaign or that they didn't spy on china. then i have to be led to disbelieve what they say because they haven't said anything. that's true in some time. so i believe china on this looks like the relations are degrading precipitously. and this, this particular accusation only lends greater force to the conflict that's going on between the us and china. it's only getting worse and tensions are certainly rising . and this, this kind of, this kind of hack, or even the allegation of a hack, certainly heightens the tens

if china's economic problems continue to pile up, china will be far less prosperous and less productive per capita than the u. s. and lose it's competitive advantage. okay, interesting. well, so you're there in taiwan. what would losing this competitive advantage a slowing chinese economy mean for taiwan? or some expert believe that if china goes into recession, it may soon try to of unified how one by force while it's still can. and also the fact is how a steel relies heavily on china for 40 percent of its export. and if china's economy keeps going down 1000000 how uneasy business men in china would also be dragged down by china's weak domestic demand. so these are all influences that we are expecting to see. right. so it's an hon. thank you so much. now to some of the other global business stories making, there's russia's top lender spare. bog expects russian g d p to contract by 4.5 percent. this year, fairbanks seo said the banking sector has begun recovering from the impact of sanctions and spare bank expects to post a profit at the end of the year. lufthansa pilots have called off a 2 day strike after a l

and the central focus of u. s. foreign policy, there's a very big gap between what u. s. officials are doing and what the american people want. america's vice president kamala, have as secure as china of committing palpitations around time when calling for t p. u. s. ties with the island. china has flexed its military and economic might to coerce and intimidate its neighbors. and we have witnessed disturbing behavior in the east china sea and in the south china sea. and most recently, provocations across the taiwan strait. tensions over taiwan increased as you as healthy can. nancy pelosi visited the island last month. china called the move a provocation and responded with military drills around time one. this month, washington approved more than a $1000000000.00 worth of arm sales to the island, which china considers its sovereign territory. then more recently, joe biden said, washington would defend taiwan with troops at the white house, backtracked on that statement, asian classified those latest moves as a violation of both its territorial integrity and the one china policy observed by the u. s. and other high profile american visitor to tie one for me, you a secretary of state

china and globalization, thanks so much for joining us here. what do you think is behind pompey as comments about china's century? can this be seen as just another attempt by the u. s. government to try and stop china's wise in global influence? first of all, mister pale is a former politician and he's been very much eager to make money. and his visits to one are very much tied to, to making money by promoting time needs separatism, or in dependence from china. in this way, he has been sanctioned by the chinese government for violating chinese law about china sovereignty and territorial integrity is basically bankrupt as far as china is concerned. as a person, as a politician. and we will refuse to deal with him and he's bought from entering china. so china's hong kong, as well as macau special administrative region, as well as from doing any business with chinese interests, both government and commercial. this is for palm pale. now, it is true that the united states is still hollowing out the one china policy. the united states plays the taiwan card as if that taiwan card will enable the united states to have on to the so called the global hegemony. now, the other

china stance is highlighted in the new bill. they could radically reshape washington's taiwan policy if adopted the u . s. would interact with the islands authorities, like a recognized government and provide more financial aid. china's foreign ministry said the move would escalate tensions between beijing in washington did. he's on the bill seriously breeches the u. s. commitment to china and taiwan question and violates the one china principal. it constitutes interference in china's internal affairs violates international law and basic norms. international relations and it's sans is seriously wrong signal to tie one independent separate is forces chinese firm. we posted this and has launched a serious petition to the west side. indeed with more on the bill and the current state of us china relations. here's ortiz caleb mob, that you would saying that was tensions rising in the pacific. all parties involved would be doing everything possible to de escalate the situation. however, that does not seem to be the case. we have a new bill passing for the senate foreign relations committee, and that bill is seen as a rather intense escalation with china. it provides a $6500000000.00 to t

u. s. and the global market. alright, and now i was just really briefly, we saw china's economy, really bloom as it opened up to the west. could we see a similar boom as the u. s. in europe, look into these other countries there grew saving, you can't copy, paste this success story. and then also if we talk about some tendencies, some a moving to production out of a giant. i mean that's going to be a rather slow process. we heard from the foreign minister of, from mexico, for example. he believes that actually the economic growth in mexico could double was that the next couple of years, for instance, with m. c, me conductor production and coming to that state. so it would be a copy of paste, but clearly some companies of cut some countries i will definitely benefit from this st. john's car to thank you so much. now to some of the other global business stories making, this francis prime minister announced the country's plan to cap power and gas price increases for households at 15 percent. next year. it's a movement to protect consumers from europe's worst energy crisis. in decades, the capital cost the state 160000
