and so you need the big countries, you need to promise you need germany, you need the united kingdom. germany has pledged to ramp up its military capabilities. but as we've seen, there are manufacturers holding it back, such as the country's history. it's reliance on the u. s. and the question of financing. all that's makes it unlikely that germany will be leading europe's defense any time soon. i the hard working hands non stop production lines. the economy should be booming, according to german lore. a growing economy means growing prosperity, the foundation on which germany was built we're trying to, i believe economic growth is essential to safeguard our trust period again. but now germany is doing well. millions of yours in debt. the economy lackluster? 2023 negative growth of 0.3 percent. but is that a bad thing? or could it be a blessing? at least for the climate? what would a world without economic growth look like the these people are angry, fall 2023 climate demonstrations and all of jeremy's major cities. environment protests have become one of the great social movements of

and it's early with united states, germany's leader all of shelves stopped just short of saying that that is not fair . taking this, the trump already wants to make a deal us age. the kids in exchange for the use of red us in the country. does europe even have a say in the matter ukraine is being attacked and we are supporting it without asking for any payment. that should be every one's attitude. meanwhile, the issue of ukraine's and natural resources and who should own and develop them, has been on the west for petitions, mine feel for quite a long time. the republican hor hawk lindsey graham is one of the leading voices when it comes to appropriating for and resources in favor. how the united states interest taking us, and they're sitting on korean dollars worth of minerals that could be good. our economy, they're sitting on $10.00 to $12000.00 of critical minerals and in your train, i don't want to give that money and those assets to put into share with china. so where are the ordinary people in the, off ukraine? in the all of these affairs, well, it doesn't seem that anyone's bo

and i remember the then ambassador of the united states to germany, mr.holbrooke, came and said he found this totally superfluous, that you had a ministry for women. and i was very brave and said to him, it was most important job and i thought it was very important. i was i was completely convinced and i'm so i was able to learn in the beginning, it was very strange because i watched the news in west germany. we have the tiger show, which was the big news magazine in the evening. and you saw the cabinet meeting and all of a sudden i sat there at the cabinet table, i was there and it was a breathtaking speed and in order to sort of somehow slow metazoan, i broke my leg after about a year, which was very clear that this was a little bit too much for me. so i in a way, it allowed me to sort of calm down again. the people in my constituency were helping me actually actively. i was trying to sort of get back to base, and i then became minister for the environment and the first climate conference was a chaired by me one and the world opened up to me really, tru

surrounding it give aid given tends to sort of distinguish traditional donors such as the united states, germany, japan, u.k. from the so-called emerging donors. some call them rogue donors like, you know, china, but also brazil, india, south africa. they fall into that category. so so one of the arguments go that the traditional donors like the united states, they are the ones who are more like altruistic and driven by the ethical considerations of the need impartiality, whereas, you know, china, they are driven by political expedience, see the use it as a part of their political agenda. and so a spoiler spoiler, neither the traditional donors nor the emerging ones consistently follow any of this logic. so again, that was another more theoretical kind of reason for why we wanted to pursue this book. and last but not least, i felt that the discourse about aid is typically disconnected from the broader context of ideas, norms and power relations. you see, aid given does not take place in vacuum. aid given decisions about aid, they are part of a broader humanitarian regime. humanitarian regime has

daddy vans that will not just map out towards the united states is planning on ukraine, but potentially also criticized the political spectrum here in germany and europe. we already saw in on mosque who doesn't really have an official outside role for the united states, essentially in to see here in germany as the cool on german voters to vote for the fall. right. a if the policy in elections that are happening and just over a week's time here in germany. and if the message from debbie vance is what, according to the indications we're getting from an interview he already gave to the wall street journal, he will be calling on an end to the political so called firewalls of woods the fall rights. and that, that's the parties of the center ruling out that they would cooperate with them here in germany and europe. and that would be quite something a to makes. that's a speech. some pull on politicians to act differently. that is interference. and at the same time, the question is, how will the europeans respond and will they be united on this? we do question. absolutely, samantha, supposing here another big actor on the table is china as from mov

canadian consumers and businesses purchase more goods from the united states than china, japan, and germanycombined. this is true in the case of many sectors. for example, the auto sector were parts often go back and forth across the border 6, 7, eight times before a is completed. there is no area where the integrated nature of our economy is more clear than in energy and key resources like critical minerals.canada supplies signift quantities of low-cost hydroelectricity to several u.s. states via fixed or transmission lines. canadian electricity powers the equivalent of 6 million american homes more than every home in the state of ohio. canada and the u.s. have an integrated oil pipeline system supplying americans with approximately 4 million barrels per day creating jobs and fostering energy security. this oil is largely heavy crude. u.s. firms have invested in complex refineries to process this specific type of low-cost canadian oil, by far the most affordable option for u.s. companies and consumers enabling the export of u.s. light crude to countries around the world creating additional

political discourse surrounding aid given tens to sort distinguish traditional donor such as the united states, germany, japan, uk from the so-called emerging donors, some call them -- china but also brazil, india, south africa, they fall into that category. one of the arguments go tradition donors like the united states they are the ones harm driven by the ethical considerations of the deep where as china, they are driven by political expediency. they use it as a part of their political agenda. spoiler spoiler. neither traditional donors know the merging once consistent follow any of this logic. again that was another or theoretical kind of reason for why we wanted to pursue this book. last but not least, i felt that the discourse about a is typically -- aid -- is typically disconnected from the broader context of ideas, norms and power relations. aid given to set take place in vacuum. a given, decisions about aid, they are part of a broader humanitarian decision, he mentioned regime has some written, some unwritten rules regulations, agencies, international institutions as well as ethics. and humanit

. >> before i knew it, i was hearing from girl scouts all over the united states, germany, japan, switzerlandto take care of these young women. and we want them back in their uniforms. >> 3000 local families were impacted by the fires, the organization is helping those not just within the uniforms but whatever they need in the long-term. >> it is truly a sisterhood, which is what the girls need now more than ever. >> and she hopes that when the girls get there vests, they know they are always loved . >> no matter what, we are always going to be there for you. >> i loved my time as a girl scout, it was one of the best times, doing that with my girls and doing all those things. it is a sisterhood. still ahead, recognizing innovators during black history month, the intervie ♪ >>> trump pets on a tuesday as

and they want to say considered war against nothing. germany and japan that time united states. so it's unions. i'm a lice against germany. so if you look at the minutes of conferencing, yells and duties of it was not only about the war against germany, it's less about re shaping, convert. they established the united nations. they called for san francisco conference, and then they establish a new york system. therefore, i believe if mr. trump and mr. put team come together and meet and start speak, it will not be only bilateral relations or fresh and united states. but if it will be a much more or less kale off the delegation discussions about the future of developed, can i ask you one last question? you mentioned bargaining, and i enjoy bargaining. a 2 categories are as very much and everybody who has done it and knows the, the asking price and the sort of the final deal price may be very, very different. do you think child has the capacity of sustaining the bargaining process? not only aggressively pushing for his prize, but also playing alone playing the coal game. when you ar

. >> already, china's manufacturing sector is bigger than that of the united states, germany and japanto snub? >> we should never have that attitude. there are things we can do. the genius of america combined with our allies, we can turn this around. but what do we need? we need to change the relationship with them. we need tariffs. in my judgment we need subsidies in certain areas. and we need an economic policy and a military strategic policy that rises up to the challenge. >> everyone will prosper. every family will thrive. >> reporter: on the campaign trump proposed historic tariffs. 10% to 20% on all imports. 25% on mexico and canada. 60% on china. he said america would grow wealthy collecting taxes from overseas. >> a tariff is a tax on a foreign country. that's the way it is, whether you like it or not. a lot of people like to say, "oh, it's a tax on us." no, no, no. it's a tax on a foreign country. it's a tax on a country that's ripping us off and stealing our jobs. >> reporter: but most any importer or economist will tell you the president is mistaken. tariffs are not a tax on

the, the russian knows, are not serious for us to knew that the united states in germany are not serious about nato membership. do you credit? so why pretend at least you're going to go into a top negotiation? i think it's better to be honest from the outset. so i actually wouldn't fault the trouble administration for that to the whole leverage. absolutely. the, the russians want sanctions relief and they want international recognition and they don't want to be the, a role pariah again. so i think the us actually holds a reasonably strong hand within the hearing. really good to get your thoughts and your balance is thank you very much indeed for talking throughout a 0. thank you. pleasure. thank you. i. so the know a pressing digit is crossed at toronto, pearson international airport in canada, enjoying up these 15 people. 3 of them quickly made a report say, the delta airlines plane arriving from the us city of minneapolis, flipped wolf, attempting to land april to authority. say, 018 passengers and crew. i've been accounted for. first and foremost, there was no loss of life. and this i

germany 25 percent. i mean a steel and the other middle was a, the started down that route already. um, but in terms of a trade more clearly the united states, and it's not just the american arrogance here over time in american, but the, the america has all the leverage. it's true that the, you know, the european union, germany, for example, we have, we, we do, we americans run a large trade deficit with them. they, they sport a lot more to united states and the americans do to do germany. but if they were to enact those tear of sent me what really the german industry is already reeling this point terrace, which just further devastated. and yeah, i mean, for us in the united states, it would be a problem with miss, you know, a lot of our for, you know, imports are the things we consume. but the united states can, can, can take the paying a lot longer than germany can for example. and so, i mean, and militarily, i mean, there's no questionnaire that the europeans are not even on the same page. i'm so economically, militarily, uh, yeah, i mean these are vassal states, and that's the way it's been since the end of the 2nd world war. and

the mission of this attack and unit of course shocked people in germany. but it's also fueled a debate on migration in the country and just a week or about a week and a half before the election. did the chancellor talk about this? it's yeah, just a week until people go to the polls and, and there's actually a sign here, the little memorial side that you can't quite see here behind me that says reset views. this would be for election purposes. so people who are very upset and they were in a suffering bulk where we so the stabbing and that's is this issue is becoming so politicized, particularly in these elections. but one thing is clear at the office need a fruitless match from the conservative seed use. use use not just over the a heads at around 30 percent is points with pulled up, sold social democrats around about 15 neck and neck with the greens and he also, according to the paulding has logic credibility, racing is when it comes to dealing with migration being tough on migration, and this attack will certainly not help pulled off sold. so he's seen as

industry is being used by some political parties to appeal to folks to and it's not just in germany. the united states is the 2nd largest wind, producer of to china with capacity having more than tripled between 20102023. the president donald trump has now put supports on permits limiting, so the gross globally, the cost of electricity generated by wind turbines. this folding, solar p, v of winds, now the cheapest sources of energy and they are becoming increasingly important as energy to replace fossil fuels back in germany, the winds of change have impacted communities differently. and god, the time people have learned to accept and even welcomed wind turbine. almost all of the 43 turbines here owned by a local co operative. since filming here in 2023 energy prices have remained low. v as in times it gets done by. we are currently in the process of re powering a wind farm, the bulb in the middle, tune them on the building permit for that new has been approved as all, without one single objection. this is open the i 9. see, the, i'm off with the, getting the germany's renewable energy little c

and, and at least that is a united message from the europeans, from germany. that is a one sons full of the back kind of interference in the election. there is election in the state days a time from now here in germany. and we heard that both and the opposition vida for these matching is going to be the likely next on. so it's upholding is anything to go by on. the card chancellor will have souls. but there's a deep sense of concern over how marks the united states. donald trump, is into creating a facts and into a sense to be criticizing a european democracy in questioning the separation of powers. and that is a domestic issue that is happening in the united states in real time as we speak here. so this is something where we so europe will have to find a united voice. but it doesn't have that as long as someone like victor o'bonham gary in 5 minutes that embraces the fall, writes need to at least vitally, wasn't invited to it because he's seen as to extreme. but did have a side meeting with you as far as present 30 minutes. that's and mikayla cosigner in muni

and soviet forces were in the midst of germany on unit 50 miles from the ryan and the french folder. i mean, this thinking that we're going to go back to that uh, this will end with a it came from ice over ukraine's by the way, i think it's also with say that of course, any imaginable stuff with no, i mean, unless of course you crate and does collapse complete team, and that's how really will be fall far short of what preaching out for when he wrote this invasion in 2022 of those in terms of controlling labor, ukraine. but also in terms of nature refreshing territorial ambitions for a tall but on that. so he keeps, we think at least some 3rd treat, possibly all the territory. so his invasion is being rewarded. that is a and also a principle that we normally happen in, in international law, or is it, i mean, the un charter says you're not allowed to evade other people's countries. so what did we do against stuckey when it's invited cyprus in 1974, did we even expand it from native? no, we did not. but i mean, the thing is if you want to expelled russia from the tire trans has taken th
