of europe. she too is scholar. he says, the current state of affairs is about official only to the u. s. of europe is losing its independence to washington. now the mac girl is, i think for us, mary, good, because it will think down europe it as it passed, it is done already. now, if i tell you a joke, i could say that u. s. has one already germany, an e u in the ukranian war. russia is on thatched. i just looked at the trade surplus of the 3 top countries in the world, china 900000000000. ah, russia 330000000000 and saudi arabia, 200000000000. they have more trade bloss sharp lost than u. s. has trade that theses one failure left germany is number 7, europe is going down and i don't know why the european leaders don't any more, have this selfish, realistic approach. and generally to go thinking maybe it is because they used to trust that us is fixing their things. and they are not accustomed to that us is like bacon cleaning europe now out of energy out of money out of power, out of own politics. and that's a big one, a couple of stories from indian now i was i had of in this flagship ai

of 2022 compared to the u. s. your provides relatively cheap housing, particularly in smaller cities and towns. the rise of remote work has also made europe more attractive, particularly to millennials who are priced out of the u. s. housing market. in europe, the average sale price of a new residential property in the u. k. was the most expensive in 2021 at $4900.00 euros per square meter, followed by austria, norway, and france. meanwhile, serbia had the lowest average sale price at $1520.00 euros per square meter, followed by portugal, lot via poland and croatia that compared with the us, where the average cost per square meter would cost over 17 $1000.00. and it's no wonder why so many are relocating to europe. and for more let's bring in again, jason hartman. so jason, what happened to the giant real estate corporation ever grant in china? what was the fall out from all of that? well, in one word, debt, that's what happened to ever grind. and, you know, the fall out continues. we will see how many of those buyers end up with completed homes or recover deposits. it does not look good. you know, to some extent, there was a sort of a ve

u. s. and e, you have a high degree of overlap in the types of strategic critical minerals they need. they are high risks of supply on shortages and in the cumulative strategies of the u. s. europe, china is regarded as the men opponent and an important factor influence in their strategic directions and measures. so they are trying to build a supply chain independent of china. that is why china also needs to develop a relevant strategy and make a response or, and of course, we know that many of these minerals don't just sit in china, this shit, they sit in other asian countries like indonesia of does that mean that the chinese chinese mining industry is going to be one of the big winners of this, of this race that you just mentioned. yes. what china is certainly one step ahead in terms of a national strategy to build trade and investment relationships out. it is interesting out that if you look at indonesia, at the end of that last month, ford motor site, a $4500000000.00 nicole smelter deal with vel, indonesia and china. so down why you're a company working on the whole entire thatcher chain of critical minerals, indonesia, in the we know indonesia is the top nichol producing c

the country is acting foreign minister, has branded the freezing of the countries as, as in the u. s. in europe as illegal, the money was seized after the withdrawal of u. s. a. nato troops from afghanistan, which, according to recent, claimed by american officials, wasn't as chaotic as some made out. i remember going through all that, ah, that's pretty remarkable. that airport was basically for all intents and purposes, american property a, i'm sorry, i just don't buy the whole argument of chaos with for all this talk a chaos. i just didn't see a there was a lot that went right so yeah, there's a lot to be proud of peter afghan journalist for him. he said that believes that the freezing and afghan assets has only increased the challenges facing the countries. people. little attention to abeline is done. she many crisis at the moment is in an ignoring condition. and once you've been ignored, while the, the biggest, my manager catastrophe is right in. so this situation, i want to spend some reserve, some assets in the u. s. which would help the central bank of the line is on a financial and moni

of the u. s. dollar. and avoid becoming, quote, vassals, macros. new found concern about u. s. economic over each might have something to do with the potentially devastate impact on europe of biden's inflation reduction acts particularly on european industry. as mac home basically begged us lawmakers to recognize during his visit to washington last december, specifically on you want it. and what has happened in written months is a challenge for us, because we're starting to how differences and annotations, and the cost of the war. and ukraine is not the same in europe and in the united states. but most importantly, the choices that have been made for which i shall goes, in particular, the inflation reduction act. all the chips act. i chose that will split the west macro renewed interest in french strategic autonomy might also have something to do with the fact that china sent him off with a really nice hearty gift of a massive new deal. beijing has agreed to buy a 160 new commercial aircraft from the french, headquartered european aerospace conglomerate air bus, whose chinese production is also now set to double with a 2nd assembly line in change in that also has airbus ahead of i

u. s. secretary of state, visiting taiwan anytime soon. because of these growing tensions between the u. s. and china with europe in the middle and a kind of a disarray. thank you. that's a click of a tune in china. excellent. thank you. and some sad news from the world of motor sports. her islands top rally driver craig brain has died in an accident during testing for the creation around the world. rally championship is team hyundai. i gave no details, but said his co driver. james fulton was unharmed. craig breed made his w. r. c. dave, in 2009, the 33 year old clinched a career best 2nd place in last month's rally of sweden is death is the 1st in the world championships and that of german co driver bashed in 2006. is remind of our top story at best our jeremy has granted permission to poland to deliver old and mig fighter jets to ukraine. hold on board the former east, german jets in 2002 and required for permission to send them a bread golf will have more well news at the top of the our up next here on the w. a documentary about the fate of young people born into mexico's drug cost helps a more news analysis

and the last reason is that many, most of the countries in regions did not have big stimulus packages, like in the u. s. and in europe, which really fueled inflation kind of from the demand side, that's been a much more gradually recover, gradual recovery process in asia. now along with china, you mentioned india as one of the main drivers of growth in the region. where is the demand for products made in debt for services in india, coming from well in the us, growing robustly this year. and it's not really from exports because of the slow growth in the u. s. and in europe, both regions, we're projecting to grow less than one percent this year. exports are not really driving the growth in india. so it's more coming from domestic demand recovery from their can them, it also renewed activity on demand for services. investment coming in, some of the efforts of the government to support development of manufacturing sector with incentive programs, with infrastructure investment, etc. that those are the more important drivers of higher growth in india. now major are producing countries announced a cut and output to take eff

of the u. s. army in europe. ben hodges, if he shares those concerns. first of all, the, the russian air force has not impress me for the last 14 months, even though they have huge numerical superiority. it's clear that they don't have the training or the, the ability to really achieve air superiority. this is something that the german air force, british royal air force, us air force. we would have done this in the 1st days of any conflict, especially with that kind of numerical superiority. the russians were not able to do that. so it's not just because of the brave and very competent, ukrainian air defense. it's because i don't think the russians really know how to do so. yes, of course there's a vulnerability if, if we're not able to help you crane get more munitions or more systems for their air and missile defense. but i think they will have already anticipated what those vulnerabilities are. and again, i think that there are other ways to, to prevent russia from exploring a vulnerability. and that really is about denying them the places from which

is probably the point of contention but i think fundamentally, what my cause aiming at strength and europe with regard to russia with regard to china. and also with regard to the u. s. i think is something that is largely shared with in europe. the problem being that his, again, his style of communication, his vocabulary strategic autonomy, european sovereignty is at times misunderstood, misinterpreted. and that is timing, frankly. who are, i mean, the fact that he came out with these comments flying back from his visit with key and just our later chinese military started maneuvering around ty, yvonne was just a very, very quick signal and perceived as such, both in the u. s. and the european union. yeah. do you think we could see macro now as being damaged goods for the rest of europe? he's not going to run for election again. and we know that he's taking a hit by all of these protests over his plans to reform the countries pension system. yes, i think so at least in the short term. and he has clearly done damage to, to the message of western unity. first of all of trans atlantic unity, i think that part of this is probably some kind of a revenge that has to be bu

s. i don't see it happen. ah french president, money all mccall has went to europe of becoming a vassal of super powers such as china, the u. s. however, calls for continental autonomy and not getting involved in conflict. house is not brussels from tilling the american policy line in ukraine. here's the take of paris based art contributor ritual marcy. as president emmanuel nicole revealed to journalists on the way back from china, aboard the presidential play, that he apparently had some kind of an epiphany while he was in china. it sounds like he's now saying that europe really doesn't have to ride shotgun alongside washington every time that washington decides to load up the warm veal and speed down the regime change highway. the paradox would be, that's overcome with panic, belief wedge as americans follow us. the caution europeans need to answer as it is now, interest took to the right across on taiwan. no, that was the would be to think that we, europeans must be comfortable on this topic and take al q from the agenda and the chinese overreaction. so mac, all just figured out apparently that france can have a foreig

i think the europe is now thinking more about what they should do to look after their own interest, because any conflict between china and the u. s. over the issue of taiwan has nothing to do with europe actually. so what's the point of getting involved or offering themselves to, to get involved in any potential conflict, but talking about the, the potential conflict over the issue of taiwan. i think it's not so much of, you know, the people in taiwan or even the microchips in taiwan that the us is looking after . no, i don't think so. it's more of the military industrial complex that these people are more interesting keep stirring up or cooking up some conflicts so that they can make more money. so this is how, you know, american politics went away saying that they're going to stop sending weapons that are one out of the ukraine. much that will somehow come to a pc. let's hope so. that negotiations go back onto the table again. the, the emergency complex is not going to have any wants to sell arms to. so let's cause trouble in tie one that will say, well, tall one is not the only thing that they're looking at, right? let's look over the last a few

this cause outrage in many parts of europe saying look how the u. s. is helping here in europe over ukraine? how can we not? how can we have some kind of an equity distance between the 2 sides on taiwan? so babble will be going in that bad book is much more critical of china in general . but the overall picture that we have from europe on china is one of essentially muddle right now. if international it or richard book, thanks so much. living on noun, ukraine says it's opened a war crimes investigation after 2 videos emerged on line of hearing to show russian soldiers beheading ukrainian prisoners of war. the shocking footage has drawn international outreach. the kremlin described the video as awful, but raised questions about its authenticity, ukraine's foreign minister, the metro to labor, condemned russia on twitter, describing it is worse than isis wanting to our viewers now the following report contains material that some may find disturbing. brutal and gruesome footage has appeared on social media. the video allegedly shows what appears to be a ru

of the u. s. forces in europe, been hon, just speaking to the w a little earlier. and here is a quick reminder of the top stories were falling for you at this hour. the us out speaker has defined warnings from china and welcome ty, ones president to california meeting highlights growing american support for the self governing island which beijing claims as its own. it's all for now, but stick with us, chris cobra has the dw business days after a short break and don't forget there's always more news on our website and is of course d, w dot com. me and the entire team here at our berlin news room. thanks so much for your company today with a special hotspots in germany, a d. w travel extremely with.

europe needs its own position on this sort of thing. and he got accused of sort of suggesting will, should europe just be completely in the middle between the u. s. and china and have no kind of stake in this whatsoever. just at the time when europe is so dependent on the united states over the ukraine war, the united states being absolutely essential to, to european security at this time. so my home was going there saying he wanted to have it in hans european unity on china. but in the end he, he ended up kind of proving the opposite. and i lena bear book has been much more critical of china, historically protect you on the issues of human rights, but even her own government is pretty divided. all of chelsea chancellor, see this much, much more cautious. so the overall picture of what we're seeing here is china getting much more assertive about saying this is okay. this is not okay. and europe looking pretty muddled in its response interviews, which are walker. thank you so much. ukraine says that it has opened a war crimes investigation after 2 videos emerged online, appearing to show russian soldiers be heading ukrainian prisoners of war. the

u. s. side has given europe a string of headaches and empty promises. it's not hard to imagine why michael might suddenly be singing the praises of keeping his geopolitical dating options open. i spoke with the vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and social studies at mills along right here this year. and he said that europe is a hostage to conflicts where the u. s. demands complete support. there is no need for china to, to try and separate europe from america. because china look at the world in a totally different approach that fire respecting everybody's interest. and to, to look after its own inches to as well. but most importantly, i think that china is presenting to the world as a different kind of global power. it's an interesting stuff that this how this is all playing out, you know, we had. so ursula, on the line we had macro visits in china, shortly after. she's in p was here in russia, speaking with but in the u. s. seems to think, well, my call seems to think that the u. s. is using the e as in vasa as a, as a way to sort of, you

of europe. pizza is scala. he says the current state of affairs is beneficial only to the u. s. europe is losing his independence to washington. now the mac goal is, i think for us, mary, good, because it will think down europe, it as it passed, it is done already. now. if i tell you a joke, i could say that u. s. has one already germany, an e u in the ukranian war. russia is, aren't touched. i just looked at the trade surplus of the 3 top countries in the world and china, 900000000000 fi. ah, russia, $330000000000.00 and saudi arabia, $200000000000.00, they have more trade plus surplus. then us has trade the thesis. one failure left germany is number 7, europe is going down and i don't know why the european leaders don't anymore. have this selfish, realistic approach and general political thinking that maybe it is because they used to trust that u. s. is fixing their things and they are not accustomed to that us is like vacant cleaning. europe now out of energy out of money out of power out of politics. and that's a big ukraine has in stated a noodle, giving president the lanc

not disarray, doors of allies such as america, to show europe as a political identity and france, as always, always promoted the id of political european. you will come to the u. s. and that was colleen, but 1st and a mark in beijing for the president using paying the optics pretty good on nature of the most powerful people in europe. coming to him like that 20 well, i think certainly china recognizes and presidency recognizes that china has important contributions to make on the global stage. whether that's in europe, whether that's in the middle east, with the recent reproach. mom between iran and saudi arabia and other parts of the world as well. so certainly i think it's no surprise that we're seeing these visits and more to come. i'd leave the pedro sanchez from spain will be visiting china shortly as well. and colleen europe's kind of stuck in the middle between china and the united states, to what degree is the u. s. wanting this conversation between europe and china. i think the united states would like to see an action from china on, on ukraine that, that would bring us closer to the resolution. and that, you know, if there is an ability for your leader

u. s. is the largest single shareholder of the world bank and the i m f and the financial capital from the u. s. and the europe is to biggest commercial creditor for african countries. they have responsibility in terms of resolve and africa's debt. we urge the u. s. to earnestly step up to its responsibility and make greater efforts to work on the substantive participation of multilateral financial institutions and commercial creditors in the handling over custodial issue so matter. well let's delve deeper into those remarks with arctic correspondence. lenovo, you couldn't k, welcome to, you know, for you debt such a crucial issue for countries trying to progress and become at more independent financially, particularly in the global south tickets through china's criticism of the u. s. as regards well, good morning. of course, china is really urging the united states to earnestly shoulder is responsibilities and make a greater efforts to address debt issues in african countries while also accusing the u. s. off really avoiding those responsibilities towards africa, the debt to relieve chinese foreign ministry s

u. s. secretary of state visiting taiwan anytime soon. because of these growing tensions between the u. s. and china with europe in the middle and a kind of a disarray. i thank you for that. clicks of it, colonel china, excellent. thank you. crane has launched a war crimes investigation into a video posted on social media that appears to show a russian soldier beheading ukrainian. prisoner images of prompted international outrage. russia says the authenticity of the footage needs to be established and has opened its own inquiry. here in ukraine. dickory social media video has brought back memories of the boots or massacre just one year ago. many a saying that this is just the latest example of russia's lack of regard to the lives of ukrainian people. your glucose is needed, this is no accident. this is a video of russia, normalizing the destruction of life in much very much president zalinski called for a moment of silence to honor the slain soldier's memory. united notion says it's shocked by the incident. regrettably, this is not an isolated incident. in recent reports, the un human rights mission documented

me were we have the front president emanuel macro of the weekend saying that europe must not be a follower of either the u. s. or china and taiwan. and that the block risk entanglement in crises that aren't ours. those are his words. how was that received in beijing? i mean that's basically a gift to beijing. the strategy of the chinese government is to divide and are brussels and or washington. they don't want a trans atlantic alliance. they want to, or convince or europe that it should emancipate itself from the u. s. line and am. ironically when macro, who came to beijing eci to, to demonstrate european unity here has undermined the european strategy of when he says this conflict is not ours. he might actually encourage a seating ping to invade taiwan because and the reaction 'em that he made fear from europe might not be that great. i mean, that's basically what the democrat was saying. so it's really a very dangerous rhetoric, in my opinion. thank you, revert to february, february, crunch. we're in beijing. let's take a look now. it's all stores making headlines around the world will start in brazil whe

united states, thing of where you mentioned as well, but welcome this international expansion mean for china. well, it's a big blow to china. t s. m. c's presence in the u. s. europe or other countries outside china will foster a new ecosystem of this industry, independent of china, the suppliers and the sub contractors that will also move to their new base operations is a tool for the u. s. lead western powers to enhance the ability of democratic countries to men tend a competitive advantage against china and strengthened up backbone of the indoor pacific partnership. as for bay gene, a coals, these moves a total robbery and await a surprise. it's developing, right, strong words, south on hank, thank you very much. now to some of the other global business stories making news. passengers up 3 german airports could face long delays on thursday and friday after services. union vanity and i have a 2 day strike over working conditions. pay security staff are expected to state the walker at cologne. doesn't off hamburg airports. 3 of germany's busiest travel hugs, sales of new cars jumped almost 30 percent in the u last month, or possibly 1000000 for the 1st time in al

this cause outrage in many parts of europe saying look how the u. s. is helping here in europe over ukraine. how can we not? how can we have some kind of an accurate distance between the 2 sides on taiwan? so babble will be going in there. bad book is much more critical of china in general. but the overall picture that we have from europe on china is one of essentially muddle right now. international editor, richard ford. thanks so much. okay, let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. this, our north korea has fired its 1st intercontinental ballistic missile in a month launched triggered a ski in northern japan lou residents were told to take cover, though there turned out to be no danger. the miss are flew a 1000 kilometers before landing at sea south where his military has called the move a. what grave provocation. french unions are staging a new nationwide strike to protest president a man mall cross pension reforms. unions have urged to show a force a day before an unexpected and expected rather constituti

of the u. s. army in europe been hodges if he shares those concerns. first of all though, the russian air force um has not impressed me for the last 14 months, even though they had a huge numerical superiority. it's clear that they don't have the training or the ability to really achieve air superiority. this is something that the german air force, british royal air force, us air force. we would have done this in the 1st days of any conflict, especially with that kind of numerical superiority. russians were not able to do that. so it's not just because of the brave and no very competent, ukrainian air defense. it's because i don't think the russians really know how to do it, but, but general, how does that mean that the whole point here though, is that if there is a break and not defense, could there be a window for putin and don't? these leaks essentially give him a bit of a playbook now on how to have a window to defeat the ukrainian military. to be honest, sir, i think the russians already knew all this, this. this is information that's come to live

of europe pizza east gala. he says the concept of faith is beneficial only to the u . s, as europe is losing his independence to washington. now the mac girl is, i think for us, mary, good, because it will think down europe it as it passed, it is done already. now, if i tell you a joke, i can say that u. s. has one already germany, an e u in the ukranian war. russia is, aren't botched. i just looked at the trade surplus of the 3 top countries in the world and china, 900000000000 fi. ah, russia, 330000000000 and saudi arabia, 200000000000. they have more trade bloss sharp lost than us has trade that theses one failure left germany is number 7, europe is going down and i don't know why the european leaders don't any more have this selfish, realistic approach. and jeff political thinking that made it used to trust that you may, could cleaning europe now from western powers. the ceo of air india have adamantly defended the company's decision. as a south asian country maintain strong economic tires with russia. if that's the way the winds are blowing and it is most economical

of the u. s. army in europe and senior adviser with human rights 1st in frankfort. general ha, just thank you so much for rejoining us here on the program. these reports suggesting that ukraine is just weeks away from running out of missiles to support its air defense network situation. sounds dire, is it? well, sir, thank you. yes, of course, it is significant. and in the ukraine is running low on their air and missile defense systems. and ammunition for those systems. and it highlights the fact that we need to help ukraine deny sanctuary for russia in crimea, another occupied parts of ukraine from which they are launching aircraft and drones and missiles. so part of this is the need to get them more ammunition, but also to deny the sanctuary from which russia is able to last. there's a tax the late documents. general hodges also suggests that there is concern that that person could use any weakness here to use is fighter jets, has considerable air power to change the course of the war. do you share that will turn? yeah, that would be that would be a concern. um, b

the biggest projects are being developed from the territorial waters of europe, the u. s. and east asia. like with every shiny piece of technology, there are a few drawbacks. first, for cost generating electricity with floating turbines cost almost twice as much as thought and fixed structures in 2023. so despite high efficiency, it's more expensive. the turbine and substructure account for 50 percent and operating costs increase the further out you go. but as soon as you start playing more and more turbans and then you can really level eyes on some of those off. and for us, that is the biggest source of the near term reductions that we see the amount of engineering we do $45.00 term project is almost exactly the same as the amount of engineering that we do for a 100 children. project of uncertainty is the dark environmental impact on these guys. for example, a lot of yeah, back from thanks. shore winds from land based off your blood and offshore wind. very similar. the change is really where those turbines are located, which animals are around those turbines. abra tots or
