u. s. is already in the recession, technically in the recession. both quarter want any quarter to have been negative numbers or sol, u. s. c, u s. growth, and the u. s. canada is really, you know, safe in already. how dangerous could have me put a euro's on that is the 19 nations that use the euro. if there is a recession later this year. well, i wish had to recess in also with a pandemic. so where, you know, danger isn't really the right number of suppose we were hoping for a quick growth asked of them. but of course, now with the war in, in russia, this is not going to happen either european economies, a strong economy could. whether this, i think what's important was here is some really the weakest, the how they weakest will be hit. primarily because this is an energy sunni will affect households, mtv, the poor households in ways that are, you know, who we need to be, need to watch for this. the european economy hauling the will. recovery said as it is, we are talking about really the winter after that many things will be different pay marlena. decoupling of european energy consumption from russia or other and means of any providing bran

u. s. house speakers, the trip members or the public, told us that u. s. just wants to spread its power and influence with lucy, touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use taiwan to get their attention for domestic market. unless these business will add tensions across the taiwan street. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with it is 11 pm here in moscow. and just off to 4 am in taipei, taiwan, which is where you as how speak a nancy pelosi is currently huddled inside her hyatt hotel. so yeah, alternately, she called that now the chinese foreign ministry in the meantime has summoned the u . s. ambassador in protest over the visit of the us house speaker, nancy pelosi to taiwan, comes off to china, had already seriously warned a washington of heavy consequences. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the u. s. speaker's visit, all the consequences arising

u. s. s. r, and the u. s. signed the deal to eliminate intermediate range nuclear forces. inside right here is the iconic picture of globe, which often reagan when they agree to destroy them. as isles, stop production and pledge not to carry out any more flight tests of intermediate range missiles, and professor of politics and author of the rise and fall of communism. archie brown says gorbachev should be given credit for a voting. a devastating nuclear war. there are many western leaders as well, well as many people in the soviet military, industrial complex who thought that was utopian and couldn't happen and shouldn't happen. marg sacha, for example, was very much opposed to achievers in favor of british nuclear weapons. so gorbachev really was ahead of time and, and that particular respect, he and reagan, so i to, i don't think they were successful in getting rid of nuclear weapons. so they did greatly reduce the size of nuclear arsenals. and suddenly they were successful in ending the cold war. the question about the gorbachev ledge a leading role and ending the cold

u. s. businesses about this rise intentions between china and the united states. there is indeed some concern from u. s. businesses about these escalating centers between the u. s. and china, mostly from u. s. businesses that obviously are doing business with china because they quite frankly, don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. but to quickly put your note to quickly answer this, put yourself in the shoes of the u. s. business owner, you're doing business with china and the leader of your government for the 1st time in 25 years, enters taiwan. and china has already said that it warns of this visit being extremely dangerous. you might be playing with fire. and if you're a company doing business with china here in the us, that's something that cannot be looking too good in your near term forecast. especially with policy saying that this trip is to this trip to taiwan, is to promote america's solidarity with taiwan. while also carrying while also needing to express the concerns of china's communist party. remember china is it sees taiwan as a break away province and had hopes the one they were un

u. s. s r and the u. s. signed the deal to eliminate intermediate range nuclear forces, right? that's the iconic picture of gorbachev and reagan signing the documents. so also when they agreed to destroy that missiles stop production in place, not to carry out flight tests of intermediate range missiles. one of the biggest marks that the last soviet leader made was the that of the fall of the berlin wall . taking you back to november, the 9th, 1989. now that led to the reification of germany after being divided for almost half a century. and this is how the historic event unfolded. have a look at this ah, 1989. the year when the berlin wall fell together with the political, ideological, and territorial division of germany. the last 28 long years. or the people of germany awoke in 1961 to the bitter reality. from this moment on they would be divided by barbed wire, concrete, and stones from their friends and relatives. throughout the walls existence more than 10000 people tried to make it across. hundreds were killed. and mikhail gorbachev played a crucial role making a peaceful

u. s. says he was actively involved in planning the september 11th attacks in the us, as well as other al qaeda operations, including 2 u. s embassy bombings in east africa in 1998. and the attack on the u. s. s. cole warship in yemen, in 2000. following the strike that killed him, the taliban accused the us of violating international principles and the door agreement. but for the americans, if the taliban who've broken that 2020 accord by providing cover for the winery who's killing is the 1st known us strike in afghanistan since washington pulled out its troops a year ago. and he w. sandra pet, as man, has been to the area in cobble where also were harry was kills. it is evening here in cobble and solid facts are hard to come by. when the news of, as i hear his death broke in the early morning hours, locker time journalists were able to go out to share poor neighborhood. that is where the u. s. says the al qaeda leader had been living and that is where they say he was killed. sherpa is a kind of push fancy neighbourhood of cobbled with many big villas. these villas used to house some embassies, but mainly they used to house and politicians and leaders of the former

u. s. in order to go public in the u. s. so are for them. it's more a national security issue. and so some chinese companies have preferred, reasonably to be listed on european no stock exchangers. how does china view europe as a trading hub or chinese companies, they are looking for a new land for i p o. and with the launch of sung high london, stock exchange connect europe is expected to become a listing, why they called a listing paradise for chinese companies. while allowing companies listed on a sense in stock exchange to issue global depository receipts and expanding the overseas markets to the stock exchange of switzerland, germany, and other countries in europe. the w's sold sung han and tie buried. so thank you. it is to europe. why now and the past decade, the south american country has gone from being dependent on fossil fuel imports for power to a renewable energy pioneer. almost 100 percent of its energy now come from renewable sources. but that also comes at a price. caddo pharma, jemina bolos property is surrounded by a wind park. and while the turbines don't belong

ah, the need to be public and exactly using that to say that you've pillows. pelosi is not listening to this time you will be losing face for the u. s. u. s. military and the us government on that. and that could be very dangerous because history tell us, otherwise that wars to know stuff from purely logical knowledge. sometimes what will happen when one side play the fire? i think close the right now is a hiding response. one with severe consequences. it rece the world entering into world war 3. highly irresponsible was something will be monitoring throughout the course of the day. thank you very much for your thoughts on the matter. that's benjamin shell, professor at the paris school of technology and business. the books group of nations is becoming increasingly appealing to more member states with the president of algeria, africa largest gas exporter. seeing the countries ready to join the block, president to boone said the move would help distance his country from polarizing global conflicts. we need bricks. firstly, because it allows us to move away from the attraction of the 2 poles. secondly, we are a leading country in the non al

in the late 19 eighties. gorbachev introduced policies that encouraged openness and reform inside the u. s. s r and he also forged wumer ties with the west, which ultimately brought down the iron curtain ending the division of europe. and it also put germany on track to re unification. as a political leader. gorbachev wielded unprecedented powers that set into motion forces inside of his country, which he would soon no longer be able to control. while he is often held as a hero, here in the west, at home, his name is associated with the collapse of a mighty nation. his legacy is at best, a complicated one. we have this report. local associates give us a michelle gorbachev's 1st speech as leader of the soviet union. it was clear he was a stark contrast to his predecessors. we had for you was the old right of every peace and freedom as the most am your hope, basic right of each individual for our to libya. gorbachev wanted to change the soviet union to bring it closer to the people. he promoted glass, must openness and perestroika reforms to words that will forever be associated with him. his n

u. s. how speakers trip a member of the public told us the u. s. just wants to spread its power and influence the lucy touch, china's bottom line. she touched the red lines. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just used tie one to get our attention for domestic market. unless he's busy, we'll add tensions across the taiwan street. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with a very warm welcome to you. this is alta international live from moscow. it's now just off to 7 pm here, which means it's just off the midnight in taiwan as we know that you as to how speaker nancy pelosi has finally touched down in taiwan this on tuesday night just after midnight. that now, of course, the whole trip and the big arrival was the ongoing, despite numerous threats from china, of serious consequences. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the u. s. speaker's visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by

and the u. s. subscribes to that policy where it doesn't have diplomatic size. it's i want but the same time and according to u. s. lloyd has to help. so i want to protect itself. if china invades not china is very clearly said that i want is part of it. surgery and a visit like this, in a sense, gives taiwan legitimacy as its own entity where it's has its own government. one is a country or an island us want to pull it with a 24000000 people. it would democratically elect their government. so china is always it said the tie one rules itself by the same time, it is part of china. so now this visit by nancy pelosi is seen as the u. s. legitimizing sy, one as being its own entity rather than being part of china. and so that's, you know, raising tensions on either side. and so china's had lots of strong words has made some aggressive moves, being incursions in to time wants aerospace or chest on that line between taiwan and china and sending warships over there. but it also has the power to economically really affect taiwan. so this is a very contentious issue. good. see again, vivia, but thanks. and that's a friend

u. s. and the taliban clearly right now. in fact, the timing is interesting because the cut the taliban and the u. s. all conducting talks is becca st. on about releasing some of the foreign reserves. it was free $3500000000.00 in foreign reserves that have been effectively seized by the us creating the lowest humanitarian emergency around the country. i think a lot of scrutiny about how those negotiations now proceed. and the course, yes, i've been very clearly given the area in which is our area is alleged to have been killed in central cobble, not far away from embassies and so on. you know, they will be the questions as to how could the government not know that he was that i believe it's interesting wouldn't be administration is talking about who have knowledge about our here is presence in cobble. there are any singling out mainly the hot kami network, which is not particularly hard line faction within the, the cobble government, who, i guess there's probably not much surprise that they have ongoing contacts with, with kinder. but if you do other, other carefully, delineating whom that certainly

u. s embassy bombings in east africa in 1998. and the attack on the u. s. s. cole warship in yemen. in 2000 following the strike that killed him, the taliban accused the us of violating international principles and the door agreement. but for the americans, it's the taliban who's broken? that 2020 accord by providing cover for the winery who's killing is the 1st known us strike in afghanistan since washington pulled out its troops a year ago. and the more i'm joined by journalist france, marty has been living in and reporting from afghanistan for many years. i france now you've been a cobble residency years. what was your reaction to the fact that i was that why harry was located in the capital in a well to do neighborhood of cobble? we surprised that it was the leader i am on. although you came to me as a surprise on that all kind on members, also high ranking members have visited cobble at least and stayed there temporarily since the fall off of count us until the 20 bon was not a surprise. it has, for example, been credibly reported in several un reports or during the past year, g

u. s. government, when china and the u. s. established diplomatic relations. both countries have signed a series of agreements and commitments and made public communication confirming that the u. s. is now going to maintain an official relationship with the regime in taiwan. it's going to be on the for show. and yes, there is a u. s. commitment to tie was defense and they're going to keep selling on the weapons to tie one. but the u. s. committed that the level of modernity of the weapons. those are going to be on the decrease instead of on the increase. but what they are doing is quite the opposite. so this is something that it's not very encouraging. on that note. now some long vice chairman of the shanghai center for the rim of the pacific exercise and international studies. many thanks for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. it can make cooperation between turkey and russia has strengthened in recent months, much to west and officials dismay at the time when the european community is scaling down its ties with russia in response to its aggression agains

u. s. in the high technology. so it's not the real intention page. it says that the u. s. l. a gauge and visit to taiwan violates china sovereignty. how do you think this could affect overall relations between china in the us, in the future? well, time i show you some, most of the sensitive and crucial issues in china and the united states. americans . 3 come because of the medical release and we sat people to go to china, icon knowledge of the one china, principal, beijing, the only seal government to present the whole china and taiwan is a part of china, the u. s. only if he's then so be an official relations with taiwan about the congress delegation petosi. i can be a while until there are principles. and most importantly, 1971. the un resolution of a 27558. that also represent a very clearly not the headlines part of china. so the u. s. it's not a while to hold up by lateral community, but also international principles under the u. n. framework. so do you think that these new military journals by china could finally force the us to stay away from tie one i tell you this is to show th

the united kingdom, the united states, and the u. s. s r dot b die him. when they go to a dead man tried cristo, creep up as not because hitler was weak and knew he would wait and he was bluffing . he was the major political figure, certainly one of the most prominent political leaders of the 20th century where they wish to report the germans of the germans. or when we support the russians in that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west at this time. the redrawing of european borders had begun. britain and the united states. i then just really planned to attack the ussr of britain to survive. russia had to be sacrificed. he's as doctor should be like a dish. davis. mr. boy from us is the luck of some recorded capital, mitchell, knowledge of knowing that the cold war had begun. mm. welcome back to cross stock were all things are considered? i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing taiwan. ah okay, go back to handy in beijing. let's talk about and china's reaction to the policy trip. they, 1st of all, the chines

u. s. and china in the region of strategic importance for washington. over the years, the u. s. continue to increase its unofficial presence in taiwan while also sending hundreds of millions of dollars and military a to tie pay. despite rising tensions with beijing while officially also sticking to its one china policy, we discussed the controversial us actions with scott ritter, a former us marine corps and tolerance officer. there is no doubt that the united states has been disingenuous in the implementation of its stated policy objectives that had been agreed upon with china regarding non interference and the internal affairs of china centered around the one china policy words don't match actions, that's the problem. the united states continues to claim to china that it is according to policy of one china, but it's words it and in what it's doing are completely different in china has been calling out the united states for some time. no warning that statements made by the united states government officials are very dangerous and that the united states needs to carefully recon

u. s. s. allies and russia possess more than 90 percent of the global nuclear arsenal. similar warnings also recently came from the u. n. chief, who said she morality is just one misunderstanding away from nuclear. elation you love him putting meanwhile, he said in the case of a nuclear war, there can be quote, no winners. earlier we spoke with the scientists behind the report who say there warning has to be taken seriously. the findings of your research, frankly, is, is terrifying. did you expect the conclusions to be as extreme as they were? no, i didn't expect that they would be this extreme. this is the 1st time we've ever and looked at the agricultural losses from the climate disaster that would occur after a nuclear war on a country by country basis. we've studied, for example, the daily temperatures in a place like ukraine, which is a bigger red grass in europe at once. the war starcy radcliff freezing and there is no day for more than 2 years in which there is not a day and a minimum temperature below freezing. we calculate how many people would die from the direct effects of the nuc

and so in the thirty's. the soviets are the ones who are most strongly opposed to the nazis. ah, ah. the moscow negotiations between the u. s. s. r e. okay, and france had stalled because at the same time london hosted secret anglo german negotiations in exchange for the british empire, integrity, the british greenland, a german march to the east. despite the absence of a formal agreement, hitler was given to understand that he was free to act on the east and shouldn't worry about the west with when we speak of new territory in europe today, we must principally think of russia that colossal empire in the east is rife, the dissolution. cut off hitler. my income for hitler makes clear in mind comes in 1925. that the real goal is to take over ukraine has going to the east against the soviet union. that was always hit. there's real call. and the europeans understood that in some ways in poland to was preparing to invade the ussr with handler, a dismemberment of russia lies of the fault of the polish policy in the east. the main goal is to weaken and defeat russia from a report by the polish army, general staff intelligence branch.

but also at the same time, it's being read on the ground and say, you know, the u. s. has your back the u. s is going to support taiwan, and the u. s. has, by law has to protect, give taiwan the means to protect itself. so, you know, if china does make any moves, this is not just of molding tie. one. this involves the other superpower, which is washington. and where our attentions already are at a really high point between washington and a gene. so there's all kinds of geopolitics around this, vivia they've, the interesting thing is going to be china's reaction to this, of course. and there is a suggestion that and it is not going to be so much china's reaction to the u. s. in terms of a response is actually going to be its reaction to taiwan. is there any indication? oh, how that might manifest itself is the stuff that we could be looking for to see how china is going to respond to this. particularly as far as taiwan is concerned. right, so on, on a much more practical level that affects the daily life period by one china, already in the run up to the landing band, thousands of import the f

but the relations between moscow and paging had unexpectedly turn sour during the cold war between the u. s. a. u s. s r. but it's also expected in a sense that the u. s. wanted to gain support from china in this very important golden triangle of international relations. and colbert chef when to china in may, 988. he was the 1st high level leader of the u. s. s. o. 2 with the china in 30 years. and the relationship between more school and bridging had to improve since that when you talk about a go to much office visit the end of the decade, it was in may, as you said, the visit was followed by student protests. and even now of course, the infamous gentleman square events, do you think in some way those developments hurt bilateral ties to an extent eye witness what happened during the movement at that time, i think called the shelf high port. it took place right in the middle of the various if you're into problems in china, that the man you can on the end poor did who reform in china and at the time called the chef was traced by with so much that he was, we put to the fight stage, a symbol we form a

u. s embassy bombings in east africa in 1998. and the attack on the u. s. s. cole warship in yemen. in 2000 following the strike that killed him, the taliban accused the us of violating international principles and the door agreement. but for the americans, it's the taliban who broken that 2020 accord by providing cover for the winery whose killing is the 1st known us strike and afghanistan since washington pulled out its troops a year ago. and that's your news at this hour coming up next is the w is asia with my colleague, bearish abandon cain. this is of course more news on our website, d, w dot com and on social media at d. w. i'm and you can, mckinnon. thanks for watching. ah, with with us is the journey across the entire continent with a variety of cars. so with this, so what we focus the movers, shake of visionaries and made cuz when bonnie, the meaning of modern africa is actually august the 5th on d w. ah, come on, let's be honest. with summer break, just doesn't really be much. does it? without the bonus, lee got them. oh, well, don't worry. we'll start up again soon. as leg

u. s. involvement, it's his word again against the government. and i'm sure the u. s. has got a role here because we know that that goldman sachs is involved. we know the u. s. has, has had a plea bargain with one senior fish and found guilty. the key manager for that, for that area of the world. so, you know, there's, there's, there's an aspect, those evidence being handled by the us. it's probably being turned over or confronted with, with malaysia, out of the whole thing there, the, the, you know, who's close to who's to say that needs correct. and then he got, this is his, we're, who's the say that he's not misled. you know, it's the government, the bringing the case, the government probably backed by the us government. that's providing whatever evidence being you yes, an uphill battle. lemme, but this was the judge actually biased to the left. another question on that. moving on to latin america, we're brazil's former left us leader lula desilva remains a front runner and presidential elections scheduled for october. the silva who's served as president for 7 years

u. s. says he was actively involved in planning the september 11th attacks in the us, as well as other al qaeda operations, including 2 u. s embassy bombings in east africa in 1998. and the attack on the u. s. s. cole war ship in yemen, in 2000. following the strike that killed him, the taliban accused the us of violating international principles and the doha agreement. but for the americans, if the taliban who've broken that 2020 accord by providing cover for so i re who's killing is the 1st known us strike and afghanistan since washington pulled out its troops a year ago. and just before we go, let's get a reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour us. how speaker nancy pelosi has arrived in taiwan to find warnings from china hill as he says, the visit highlights america's unwavering support of tie one's democracy. china says it will launch military exercises off tie one's coast in response. coming up after the break date of the news asia with my colleague brush energy is of course white at his of you dot com and clare richardson in berlin for me in the team. thank you so much for watching people in trucks injured one trying to flee the city cen

and brussels. so i think that ultimately this is a sign of great transformation coming. i think it signals the end of the u. s. dominance on the continent, and the u. s. which has african on the continent is extremely worried about these developments. and that's why the u. s. department is pushing for further relations with african nations because they realize they're losing. there's talk of military cooperation. what benefits do you think it will bring for molly? i think it'll, it'll, it'll bring tremendous opportunities to further the fight against the die sion against the judges. forces that were back finance and controlled in many ways by the united states and nato. let's not forget what happened, especially in north africa, over the past decade, where the u. s. over through a general conduct feet, colonel gadhafi in libya and was able to create absolute chaos in the region and fermenting a whole bunch of proxy wars and regime change operations. so i think iran is firmly committed to the sovereignty of molly, the sovereignty of many of the other countries. and in fighting these terrorists, which are at the end of the day, the money true goes back
