george's candidacy the gain, fizzle, and welcome. chinese president eugene ping, says china and germany should seek common ground. he made the comments in a meeting with the german chancellor. all i felt is on a 3 day visit to china that has met with president she and virginia. it's his 1st trip to the country's instrument. he launched a strategy to avoid over dependence on china. she says, relations between the 2 will continue to grow as long as both sides respect each of the males and how you are trying to get a job. who shows only the 2 countries should view and develop bilateral relations from a long term and strategic perspective. and they should work together to inject more stability and certainty into the world all of the sheets such as well. let's talk

about that with the don't use. richard walcott our chief international editor probably encourage, but also joins us from aging. i'll start with you fabi and how that meeting go between the chinese and german leads. yeah, 1st of all, it is quite remarkable that show it's secure, rather extensive a talks with both seating thing and they last for several hours lead send. that's a prime minister of china and the rhetoric that he was greeted with by seating thing was quite friendly and they both also to be expected. but if you look at the really, the interest between those 2 countries, they're really diverging politically. it's very obvious with, um, china are leaning towards the russia but also leaving as close that ties towards north korea and even iran. so they are some friction then in terms of traits. china wants to keep germany as an invest and also as a market into

a trading cotton. however, at the same time seating ping right now, it's doubling down on manufacturing, on, on, on excessive industrial policy and, and subsidies that basically threaten german economy. so this also some a friction so i would say really those structural issues are really um, very hard to overcome and that is really the main topic of the meeting. okay, richard, what is going to be top of filters list? yeah, well i think picking up on some of the points that i've been just made that, i mean, he mentioned showing his relationship with russia. this is certainly a major concern for the germans. and in that they see china very much is kind of enabling russ's war against ukraine, which of course it is, is dragging on and on. and last time schoultz went to china. i was with him on that trip and he extracted a statement from a wedding pharmacy, jim payne, which he's or something of a, a positive and saying that you called makes rights with nuclear weapons. so this

was interpreting just by mazda kind of criticism of vladimir putin who's used nuclear threats in the ukraine will quite a bit. recently, those threats very much back. so i think the germans would be looking for some wording from she'd been paying on that again. but also the salt is message to cj and ping is going to be, you know, you're helping russia. you may not be providing them with the drugs the, the iran is giving them all the missiles that north korea is giving the russians. but you're giving a lot of economic support, diplomatic support, and what they call kind of basic lease or enabling dual use technologies. the kind of technologies that could potentially be, be used in some way in this conflict and saying that this really homes, germany's insurance cooler interest, that is a major war in europe. and china is playing what they see as an, as a destructive policy. and that he also wants to go back around this route upset and he wants to talk about trade. the issues, the 5 you just mentioned that we just had the time just economic growth is bouncing

back will the west seas. this is being built on excessive manufacturing of cheap electric vehicles, wind turbines, all sorts of technologies. the very important in the, in the development of the economy is the green and for me, in future years. and these are major threats also to germany's economy. european union is doing investigations into these things to look at whether it needs to start imposing restrictions. what of shots will be hoping to find some way to avoid that fabi? and do you think we will get clear statements from the chinese this time on this trip? as far as those topics go? this is so maybe 1st time due crane. i mean, i think it will be not used to expect anything that goes beyond that. usually a rhetoric because just one week ago, 2nd off, at rough of the rest and 40 minutes that was here. he was also greeted by seating thing with a very frenzy rhetoric and the property paving the way for a very soon visit by uploading the pool team here to china. that has not been

confirmed yet, but that is what is expected and and if you will also look at what this talked and background talks, for example, when i talked to diploma to see um that also its not very helpful that um right, china will actually use its influence over russia to help pressure the country to end the war. i don't think that is going to happen for the trait, uh frictions. yes, i expect that will be smaller concessions, for example, smaller opening ups. but not the structural problem. i think this will not be resolved. okay. and as far as germany trying to de risk from child, or at the same time that we're hearing for the chinese leadership that they want to grow this relationship. how. how does that work? yeah. what, well, i felt as people are saying that, you know, they are trying to make, do the work of diversifying them these kind of economic context that they've had lots of meetings with leaders from south east asian countries. recently the selves as being looking for alternative sources of the kind of world materials that the jump businesses get from china. but if you look at the delegation,

this traveling results of this trip, you've got leaders of big companies, chemical companies, a lot of the really massive sort of core of the gem and economy. and a lot of these pulses that increasing their investments in china last year, in fact, was of record year for investment by german companies in china. so. so the notice will clear that this strategy is really being pursued with full clarity by everyone . interesting, richard volk, thank you very much for the analysis, says fabi and christ. bob, thank you for timing in from paycheck. this is wales army chief, etc. hi, libby is plates to respond to a runs reprisal attack of the weekend. the government's war cabinet made on monday again is be no announcement of any definite action button. levy says around will face consequences. we all could always be assessing the situation. we remain at the highest level of readiness, united way to face the consequences for its actions. we would choose,

always spawns. accordingly, the idea remains ready to counter any for it, for milan, and it still prophecies as we continue our mission to defend the state to visa. according to video poets, command is a seeking a responsive of how to run without triggering a wide war there, right? international codes for restraint. here's a look at some of the options a long shadow war that has come out into the open with a rounds attack on is real over the weekend. israel's government faces pressure from within the country to strike back at her on forcefully to maintain deterrence . the highest risk and most drastic step is real could take would be to strike at it runs nuclear program that can quickly lead to a major escalation of the conflict. israel suspected to have attacked around

uranium enrichment facilities before including in 2010 with a computer virus program that set it runs nuclear program back years. but never officially acknowledged it to step down in intensity. would be air strikes on around oil facilities, military airports, or other military facilities. attacking oil targets might significantly rattle the world economy. and attacks on iran's military could force tear on to feel like it had to respond again. tit for tat attacks that could lead to a regional more in both cases, there are military and technical issues is real stock of long range. ballistic missiles is low, and fighter jets would face a long and complicated journey to their targets. raising the risk, the israel even further a 3rd option is no official

public reaction, but to instead take the shot or war back into the shadows. is real suspected to have a fascinated multiple iranian officials and nuclear researchers over the past decade . it also regularly strikes that a rainy and proxies in syria and lebanon, pushing retaliation into this gray area. without attacking iranian soil, would likely allow israel to avoid the escalation its allies, like the u. s. had been trying hard to contain. does he make his back as an associate fellow of the middle east and north africa program at chatham house of british bass think tank? i asked him if this is going to be the start of a tit for tat escalation. this is monia, obviously not. but it, yes, the is a committed, it says to, to expose the way that you are making it says to respond and to resolve a document in the must to send their those to see it all says they offer slippery

slope or false peaceful dots. but we need to pay attention to the where the, the loading doesn't say the test will be immediately. it doesn't seem that you know, the, the scope of fruits. so the re, please enough for all the different, at least filled out by is that i is to lee issue is very well fixed because we felt the need to evaluate, at least not to evaluate him away. that's really it is that they've been released into, into a vision of all. this is the danger. but you know, there, there is every country in a situation of the world that is been cool of targets. we use the assessment of what's might lead to, to a low intensity of a sponsor and what your to my actual major response. and this is a calculation that these are, the governments needs to take into account, but i can actually turn it back much better. so that's the situation today that it was 40 days ago. yeah, definitely say that,

but you are still talking about the dangers of a regional was still the west, one of israel's biggest supporters. and one of the biggest players in supporting israel during this attack from iran, which was supposedly in response to an alleged is way of the attack on that a radio comes to let in syria. and what happens next, because the waste is saying that it won't join in any retaliation attack now from israel on a rock which opens up is or i have to draw a range of the range of the things they call the nation on saturday, sunday, and night showed the united states as the u. k. and, and wherever, and the price is, was not to mention some, some sunni countries in the middle east. what behind is i've been kind to simple it just supporting defending it's, it's supposed to,

but this is not guaranteed. if these are easily financing and then in a way that and things of that. one of the reasons that this, both of these are and participated, movie salt division on protecting a boat. that thing is that right? because of this. well, it's not going to use that and how to use a bench that goes against veiling, 1st bus, recreational diesel, and then starting this kind of speech. so that might endanger them in the interstate. so again, this is something that is i should just calculate. so i'm showing this right, actually taking the 3rd because a, you have the minutes to, to close the great the image b. c. dixie, real if you're like the default against it. so you can actually actually die. and we can say the next more. but what has happened now to deterrence is what is prime minister was harshly criticized by the opposition lady yesterday. who said that now whose government was responsible for leading to total loss of his riley deterrence

in the wake of this unprecedented raining and attack. it was the very, the, the, the fact that you were there too long shot to that, that shows that the town was damaged. but there's a lot to do with the way that it's benjamin if and you know and is it is possible government is governing is a phone interview. you in a house now it's a good x ray. actually seen the country. it the much, the unity we're seeing not only the closer, but we see the military that there's of this many of them that it's the fuse. they refuse to fall into the police and the looks of the server in a country that goes on the possible visual shift incident instead of of democracy. so when mr. lucky talks about this issue as much jokes about income and it says the same person is that the inability to still come up. ready to the server. and the way that is that

a context of all been in gaza. and i mean they think mix months off to the bakery was closed once again, producing bread to prevent from and then the cause and street. outside the cues are massive. israel cut off almost all a to northern cancer. following him off is october 7 attacks. the un says the territory has the highest levels of catastrophic hunger in the world. 8 agencies accused israel of not allowing enough food and other humanitarian supplies into gaza. the l jumped family didn't walk through rubble and destroyed buildings for nothing. they are going home with a bag of desperately needed bread. it would be in the sense of relief to be able to feed these children again to end the hunger and be able to move on to the next day. and may be god willing to bring more bread

to gain. the modest meal is a rare feast for the family of 4. for months they survived on what little they could find, mostly left over flower from a deliveries that had spilled on the ground and mixed with soil and sand. breakfast consist of flat bread made with flour. mix with good health sauce. this is what our life is like. the l job does have staved off hunger for now, but no one in kansas city knows how long they'll have to wait for the next pag. of bread from other stories making use now. floods in pakistan have claimed 50 lives and inflicted injuries. torrential brains destroyed thousands of houses, land slides on several roads. scientists say climate change is causing extreme

weather impact of sent. the 2022 floods about 2 thirds of the country side has confirmed global heating has caused the latest mass bleaching. it's killing off carls. it's on track to be the most expensive on rank or how full oceans borders with rapes have experienced overly high temperatures. at a fire was broken out at the historic stock exchanging copenhagen authorities save the blazes, destroyed the 17th century building spire. the site is the headquarters of the danish chamber of commerce and was being renovated. the close of the fire is not yet known. russia has been intensifying a tax on energy infrastructure across ukraine. since late march, nissan strikes have left some major power plants in bruins. the energy minister has told you quite, he has to be prepared for even more power outages in the coming weeks. the eastern hockey region is especially vulnerable,

electricians and engineers risk their lives to repair some of the west destruction dw xian. phillip schultz has made some of them as they keep the lights on, along the front lines, the small village and ukraine's the net screeching the battlefield as only a stone's throw away. this as the workplace of the axis left and his colleagues, the electricians. i called front of how a line i hit along the front line. the men have long ago stops being distracted by the sound of the tillery strikes during the repair work. yeah, and my family is against this job, but they don't like me coming here to him, but we have a very dedicated to a work. it's something we have to do, but i don't want to do. but as soon to the front line village has been, the target of many russians have tx most houses and its primary school has been destroyed. never the less, more than 100 people the live here for them. the technicians curos at the state 0

last link to civilization without electricity were completely cut off. there's no water has no gas to nothing works in the upcoming results as to the voltage further away from the battlefield and the city outside. cuz electrically retail were also feels more and more like a frontline job. ever since russia intensified its effects from ukraine's energy. and the rest of the sub station has recently been fits and constants. airlines to make any attempts to fix the equipment all over the 1st time today, warning announcements, ask a pause. staff members to take shows immediately at a safe location. we get a quick moment to speak to the engineer in charge of the from life. it's all very, very difficult. and every time we start to repair something, there's an alarm this and we come back. and so, so we have to start all over again. large power plants are particularly attractive

targets for russian to tex the devastation at this thermal electric plant. hopkins is in north 6th russian crews and decides to strike the engine room and force the entire facility to shut down. but you can just look around and you can see the extent of the damage, or we're talking about kilometers of pipelines, kilometers of cables that are destroyed like a menu, say, this is not going to take months. you can see. this is going to take years to fix it, loading of silver to low blood, before its destruction. the plants supplied hundreds of thousands of people with electricity. the engineer tells us it's lost, will be almost impossible to compensate. one small hope the west might be able to provide parts and the equipment for the plants reconstruction with the smoking room is we're really doing all that is humanly possible. here we must realize, but if we receive some form of support, especially technical support from other countries,

we will be very grateful that you mean by the rest are continuous. it's daily attacks on the power and the people i've talked to if and many other ukrainian cities, almost certainly as many more dark nights a heads up judges. parliament is debating it as a controversial bill that targets organizations receiving foreign funding. a similar law exists in russia. it, critics say it's unsafe, aquatic, and aimed at silencing political opponents. the legislation is also at odds with george's ambitions of joining the european union to thousands of protesters with georgiana and european union flags gather outside parliament into play. see, they oppose the government sales that would force non profit organizations and media companies that get funding from abroad to register as being on the foreign influence. many here want georgia to join the european union and they think the

proposal would be used to cab to cents a month to mind democracy. this is really bad for our you're all parents future and we have to fight now or we'll just move this. it's bunk, been tending independence, and also mentoring meaning maintaining the loss so we can integrate with your new union better. police arrested 14 people, as the crowds hoped to force the government to scrap the bill to metalli or in the day in the poem and building tension. so we're running high, you know, position politician punched the leader of the ruling, georgia dream policy leading to a brewing and the chamber. the routing policy maintains the draw flores necessary to fight pseudo liberal values imposed by foreign countries and say it promotes

accountability. the policy is to own between deepening its relationship with neighboring russia, while also wanting to join the european union pro. here a pact to this will be alice and force when the debate resumes in paul, i'm and pressing the case for georgia to become part of the you. i spoke about the new draft always d, w 's. maria cuts a month in sibley c, as well as it was mentioned in the report. the government wants to restrict the work of n g o is of the civil society here in georgia. the civil society is very, very diverse and it's kind of a moving force of the, of the georgia and aspirations towards the u here. so the government says that it wants to increase the transparency over the overseas fundings. however, the critics here in the protest, since they don't really believe the claims that the government,

they say that the government is trying to set the ground for the election instead of going to happen in october and to you know, track down and they are positional media and on the pro european georgia's because they feel like they can be threatened and their grief from power can be threatened with also should be considered here. loss here, the government's really failed to pay it. i would say a humanly a to because it was a force to remove this little under the pressure of less than allies under the pressure from the streets. so this time around, they're saying that we will not stop and then we will adopt this law. well, what sort of a threat do these protesters posed for the government? well, it's quite still a developing picture here uh on the ground because we say how dangerous it can be. however, we've seen that the protest this, i really agree because there are these things out there you are,

p and future is being uh, is being stolen away from, from them and their people that we met here at the square. they're testing that they can it protests until the bill is withdrawn. they're very much dedicated as much as the government is dedicated to pass this bill this time around. so we'll see how it's going to develop it's, it can be quite unpredictable. here, you mentioned that dedication to what sort of part of society actually wants to become part of europe in georgia to yes, uh, it's actually uh, quite a large number of, of people who wants really to be part of you according to various service, more than 80 percent of the georgia is want to be part of the you. many protests is here a saying that we do not want to go back to russia. we do not want russian style, you know, policy in georgia. and in order to, you know, continue their path to the youth. they believe the professors and the critics here

that they should, the government should withdraw the bell. because otherwise it would be possible for them to, to, you know, to be a new member of one day. the latest on those protests is that bill and also george's accession and vision. thank you very it has about to or an x don't dw growing, green livelihoods across africa. i'd been visible and thanks for watching the
