oh, here to in south western germany pioneering work is happening. i. if you see this here, it looks pretty desolate. a bunch of vessels in here are edge they made or this is amber. it's due to the weather over there, but we don't spray. so we have to put up with the we exactly, um, current among the undergrowth grows there, most valuable crop. i mean that transition when you hear that rattling inside the hod. yeah, then it's dry enough to thrash. is us talking? some brazen ears and flits cline have developed the regional alternative to coffee . they're finally having a break through many years in the making vermani and shawn 6 and my lead are making live in coffee for 26 years now not guns another. but the generation back then said no thanks. we can afford real coffee now on the so today's generation says, no, we want to ensure a healthy climate size. coffee produced to a conventional cultivation travels thousands of kilometers to reach germany. growing lou pins in many seats allotted c o 2 emissions in transport. and it improves the local soil. guido

how do you see this mood developing and what consequences could it have for western germany? well, hello for a lot. thanks for having me. here, so i think 1st of all, i mean the mood, especially in the global south, is getting worse by the hour. you saw that recently present. i'm calling from frank said he was shocked about how much the west is losing track right. ability in the global south, but then even the president comes a few weeks later and do that. absolutely. eva with the president, the r c, which was precisely arrogantly in front of the cameras. so i think this is also expression of the hubris of the west at this point of course led by united states. so i don't think most of the countries in the global south right now. i mean, they are not looking to us or europe as a, as a trustable partner for, for the next years. you mentioned us changing relationship, but also russia has proven resistant to western sanctions. last year, the countries g d p only shrunk by 2.2 percent, and it's actually predicted to grow the here. how do you explain this economic durability in spi

then we're going to have enough gas to keep their people warm and not only in germany, but western europe. it's the russian gas is so much that germany was able to sell what they call downstream. they had companies sell the russian gas. we had too much up down, see the other companies. so all gone now in france right now, they're paying 5. some places are paying 5 times as much for electricity because they've always had gas and ever from germany. turbines that produce electricity run by gas by coal, and they shut down some nuclear sites. they may reopen, but they shut them down because they were dangerous. i got to ask you, i got to ask you about the existential potential, like the central effect of something like this. i worry as an america look, i don't want world war 3. ok. i don't want to go to war with china. i don't want to go to go war with russia, but it scares me to think that my beloved country would be doing something like this, where we would destroy the infrastructure of another country, no less a country with more nuclear warheads than we have. and the potential effect that

army was opened 1928 a third of all soviet imports imported from germany was explained by the fact that both sides were outcasts in the westernorld. germany is a defeated country. and the soviet union i am not defeated, but nevertheless, a country against which everyone in the west rallied and this agreement was not only beneficial to the soviet country, but also to germany , because this is a way out - orders. this is an opportunity for the marketing of german goods that are not subject to any discrimination until hitler came to power. this cooperation existed and developed in 1927, germany recovered from the consequences of the economic crisis , the country for the first time exceeded pre-war indicators in terms of the gross product and income of the population for the first time in terms of the total volume of industrial production. germany ranked first in europe and second in the world. this time will later be called the golden palaces of such impressions. the germans achieved their results largely thanks to american loans. until 1929, germany received over $20 billion in loans from the united states. the rapid growth of

take an alternative approach, the center for mental health and marine hyden yacoma spot, and western germany has award where no antidepressants have been prescribed for 5 years. not even for severe cases. mm hm. the head of psychology here, professor hines had mass believes that depression is best explained by the events and people's lives. ah, wasn't manon. he works with patients to find the trigger and develop a treatment plan with various options. ah, his approach as often quite unconventional was punished tournament and mr lester one can i do to make myself feel worse when mother formed in voted if i plan to feel really bad this evening by 8 p. m. say to be really depressed. what do i do was come on a tune. the fall, i'd blame myself for. stay in bed. just pull the covers up over my head. think about sad experiences. no anything else in the office on the plan to much and then feel overwhelmed for a phone. the sun flows indecent, then you're inside the downward spiral. now, as it does, i guess it's really important to add more positive activities back into your daily life. i talked to gen

the conclusions were reached without investigation. natural gas pipelines, link, russia, western europe, germany, sweden and denmark carrying out investigations. the investigation by german media outlets reports that a group of sabotage, set se, then a yard from the northern germantown of ross talk, 3 weeks before the explosions. it says the vessel was rented by ukrainian owned company. it stopped at another german pulled before being traced to the tiny danish island of christian, so close to the location of the explosions and leeks. mike, hannah reports from washington, d. c. the white house from the national security council, the state department, there's absolutely no confirmation whatsoever of the report. a spokesman from the national security council, john kirby said, only that several western allies of the united states, in particular, germany, denmark, and sweden, all carrying out an investigation into who was responsible for that attack. this investigation he says, is ongoing. now, throughout the month and since that attack occurred in september, there's been repeated speculation about w

and the concern was, they could see in western europe. and in germany, what we want being told too much at this war was going nowhere. so they were concerned if it blew up right after our ships or our military exercises that we were doing there, happen. everybody would know we were not right. exactly right, about that they. so the idea was the wait. but why? he picked 3 months and 3 and a half months to wait was the question, i wonder, why did he suddenly do in late september? because to get back to the point the war wasn't going well, is he was afraid that europe was going to begin to walk away, particularly the germans, germans after world war 2 are not interested in a big military, but winter's coming up for europe. and yeah, the was, he was going to open up the pipeline and make his do his job as chancellor. he was make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him that option. western europe as it had re, gas and oil, we've always had worse in your expect. ah, you as vice president comma harris starts a week long trip to afri

and the concern was, they could see in western europe. and in germany, what we want being told too much at this war was going nowhere so, so they were concerned if it blew up right after our ships or our military exercises that we were doing, there happened everybody was no, we weren't exactly right about that. so the idea was the weight, but why he picked 3 months and 3 and a half months. the wait was the question, i wonder why did he suddenly do it in late september? because to get back to the point, the war wasn't going well as he was afraid that europe was going to begin to walk away, particularly the germans, germans, after world war 2 are not interested in the big military, but winter is coming up for europe. and yeah, the was, he was going to open up the pipeline and make us do his job as chancellor even and make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him that option. western europe, as it had re, gas and oil. we've always had western europe's back. ah, yes. we, we don't know us present. joe biden is in the middle of a l

saga, filmmaking head lives and in emerging multi polar world is challenging the historical western had germany. my colleague, rory, sushi discussed these issues with independent geopolitical alice and all the pepe escobar. if it had all ended early in, may let say we wouldn't have seen any these revelations. all these biological laboratories in ukraine, neo nazi battalions, allegations of money laundering and weapons trafficking. a lot of the things perhaps would never have come out. yes. so that's one thing, but do, how do you see ukraine playing out now? the only ones who know the ins and outs and the inner workings of the special military operation, or the people at the top of the russian general staff. nobody else knows anything the way they play strategic ambiguity. it's a master class. geopolitical and even joy, economic in many aspects as well. they are exhausting nato's arsenals. they are exhausted. the patience of the west and psychologically the burden on the west is debbie higher every day. the man who reads teleprompters, he is not, sir. in charge of any thing. as we know, there is

and i know when it comes to this pressure, these concerns about western had germany. it's not just russia and china, there are a number of countries that are stepping out that are increasing their ties with each other. now we seem to be seeing world power shipping, right? you have president, she coming to russia, the brazilian president is going to china and even saudi arabia and iran are re establishing diplomatic ties. what do you see is behind those changes when it comes to this overall multi polar world landscape? here will, i think china, of course is ela via phone when it comes to the economic world, it has a bigger manufacturing capability than the rest of the globe combined. so it's very difficult for the west to put pressure on china in an economic fashion because it could cause serious damage to their own economy. we've seen a similar pressure on russia failing, essentially to deliver the outcome that they, they believe. so i think other countries in africa and the middle east are starting to look towards russian china as a credible counter to this dominant,

so definitely a good night for all are quite on the western front entry germany, really what us it out to your k j. well, you know, the elephant in the room was what happened last year between wilson and chris rock . and they dealt with jimmy kimmel, the host dealt with it, but he didn't dwell on it, which is something that i like. he took shots, it, everybody from tom cruise to nick can in to james cameron. and then right before he ended his, his 1st monologue. he basically said, you know, he's ready in case anything unexpected happens. they've got a crisis team and that if you do get out of hand, he'll award you with the best actor ah, trophy, and allow you to speak for 19 minutes. and of course, the audience will do nothing, and that was a play at what happened last year when you know that incident happened. no one of you really did anything because we didn't know how to react. so he was poking fun. i think at the academy for that so that, that kind of stood out. i really liked the way he set the tone. i thought lady, god, i had a good performance for her song that was featured in t

they were the biggest winner and then after that the german film are quite on the western point. so germany did well, but so did everything everywhere, all at once, doing well as well. if you have your words, were they big surprises for you? you know, i don't think they were big supplies, but i was a little bit surprised in the song category. best original song. you had a song by lady guy from top going maverick. you had a song by rhianna that was song out of a black panther. what kind of forever in, in the, in the award when to not to not you are, are, are for their song. and it was really interesting when you got up on stage how he just kind of saying a little bit and people were so happy and it was so funny. there's so many videos on social media showing his entire team who were way up in the balcony. and they were screaming so loud that he could hear them all the way on the stage. so they were just really excited. that was a little bit of a surprise for what else stood out for you guys. or, you know, i love the end memorial with lenny kravitz, i love rianna singing. and of course the el

western europe. a final point is that west germany, in particular, has been integrated into western structures for 7070 by years now with it went of a great amount of propaganda and a integration into western systems and thinking through education. if you look at east germany, i come from west germany, but in east germany, i think there is a much greater skepticism towards the received western liberal narrative. so it's partly an east west to buy the euro, of course, and to present matters complicated and from russia's position. not necessarily the favorable way, because only 30 years ago, 35 years ago, the soviet union dominated eastern europe. so i think the prevalent set set of concerns in eastern europe is security concerns. ok. well, mr. back, we have to take a very short break right now for the sake of our editorial security, but we will be back in just a few moments. stay tuned for ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah, how come back to was apparent with our back european parliament member representing alternative for germany and mr brand before the break we discussed this multifaceted and very complicated

after months of campaigning, ukraine has finally received western battle tanks from germany and the u. k. are expected to beef up, it's armored fire power for a potential offensive in spring. grain in defense minister alexey resident call gave a thumbs up as you took a ride and a british challenger to battle tank. while german made leopard 2 tanks were also delivered. and before the awaited nichols arrived, ukraine had to rely on soviet made tax. italy's corn responded max, and that meant some of the crows in eastern ukraine. these men, or farmers from the south. now they belong to the most feared units on the battlefield. the soviet era t 80 takes 3 men to operate at 40 tons and driven at speeds of up to 80 kilometers an hour. gunner basil says the tanks scare the enemy. hello, i will tell you this. as soon as they see from the drones how the tanks are coming, then all the artillery is only aimed at us. they forget about the infantry about everything. so they're afraid. culture, but the tanks need a lot of attention. this one is more than a decade older than the mechanic e orders. an

have a big war in ukraine which doesn't look good and i want to make sure i get the support of germany and westernd i know that winter is coming. and if things go bad, i don't want the germans to say we refuse, because that we will have a massacre due to cheap fuel and the economy will fail vladimir sergeevich please tell me what kind of event this event had an impact on domestic politics, first of all, you know, let me be completely obvious that the administration is playing on two boards at once and when the administration stated. so, you suddenly realize that all this is fiction from beginning to end. all, naturally. asked a question. what is an invention? tell us what a fudge something looks like. this is where hersh came in. you understand, who told you everything, how looks like a hoax. you see, the administration kills in this way, as if two birds with one stone , the first one it shows, it sends a signal meaning, which consists in one old man. he is also very determined. sorry, as they say , it bites. this is such a cobra, this is really a person who, by the way, returned to the american s

it was seen as doing and making germany in western europe much more dependent on russian gas. it took the russian invasion of ukraine, i think, to force a, re, a rethink here in berlin. and the german government ultimately agreed not to put it into operation just shortly before it was finally blown up. and the facts on the ground as it were, were created. some young, thank you so much. ukraine has launched an investigation to find russ and russian soldiers who apparently killed an unarmed ukrainian prisoner of war after graphic footage emerged short video circulating on social media appears to show a man and a ukrainian uniform finishing a cigarette and shouting glory to ukraine before being killed with several shots, ukrainian army without providing further evidence as it believes the man is a 41 year old who has been listed as missing near the battle city of buffalo since february and his nightly video address, president zalinski urged all ukrainians to echo the soldiers words, she wouldn't as you louis have you do. a video appeared today showing how the occupiers, brutally

this support for the russian vector, or rather the anti-nato vector, well, germany is one of the largest, or rather, in westerne, in germany, the largest number of people actually come out with posters there. let nato withdraw from ukraine, let ukraine stop supplying means of fighting against russia, let all this end, because it does not affect us badly. at the beginning of the conversation, oleksandr mentioned georgia, just like me nasysarchuk i recently returned from this country, where i covered the protests. tell me about your impressions. how much russian influence and influence there was ? what did you personally feel when you were there and talked to people in georgia ? what is currently in power. and this is a party called the georgian dream , which is held by the gasoline oligarch ivanishvili. when it started, he made such a cool topic. he invited a lot of young diplomats who are very pro-european. the people who made these parties, in fact, well, you understand, such european faces, and actually it played for a certain time, but then again, there are various ways in which he is now trying. well, this
