Richard the german chancellor Angela Merkel she had high hopes for the summit that was originally planned for today and can she still achieve them. Yeah its very unlikely that shes going to achieve what she wanted today but its good to think about what this day was meant to be september the 14th they were supposed to be not meeting by Video Conference like this there was supposed to be. A real in person summit between the entire e. U. And china taking place in the german city of lights with all of the leaders of the e. U. Countries present now that was supposed to be a kind of crowning achievement where they would sit down and actually sign this investment treaty that was the german hope that that would be one of the highlights of germanys current presidency of the European Union and we see it hasnt come to that a tour and they seem very far apart as weve just heard from georg and that really is just shining an entirely new light on germanys entire approach to relations with china that these ideas georg mentioned change through trade is not really happening and you get a sense the german side is still grappling with ok well if thats not working what do we do theyve been talking recently about setting up a new approach to asia focusing on whats called the indopacific so the widening their focus from this quite narrow and tight sort of mercantile focus on china and thinking about the much wider region ranging from india in the west all the way to the Pacific Ocean but thats really just at the very start of things and i think theres a bit of a scramble here in berlin to kind of sorts out what is their approach to this region what is their approach to this country that is behaving so aggressively and yet is still so important for the German Economy and just picking up the point with gary hog so one of the situation where as ever with the e. U. Its a complicated picture we have the Foreign Policy chief joseph demanding unity in deals with china but we have 27 different conflicting interests who are all sort of represented in the room. Look at when when richard says economically so important thats exactly the point that is theres a number of their stunts of bilateral cooperation agreements from e. U. Nations with china because it is economically so so important but those havent really paid off for instance paul garia italy poland are still waiting for the big Chinese Investment they have been promised now combine that with the frustration of come french and German Companies about Market Access and you have the foundation of frustration on the part of the European Union and that is why burrell has also said that so far our approach to use approach has been a little naive and that is why he hopes that a more realistic common cohesive approach is now to follow through talking to you thank you both go matus in brussels to richard walker.

Well there are your shoes you have your shoes you just heat a sugar will inherit some tough challenges including the coronavirus and japans ailing economy the country was already in recession before the pandemic hit and part of its economic troubles relate to its rapidly aging and dwindling population in just 5 years a 3rd of the population will be 5565. 00 or over and that means japan is running out of work as new laws were introduced these year Encouraging Companies to raise the retirement age to 70.

And the pandemic lockdowns have trashed Holiday Plans everywhere well see how South Koreans are deciding to take a staycation at home. Im british prodigy welcome to the. Glad you could join us march away to talks between the taliban and the Afghan Government began over the weekend in doha with the question of a ceasefire hanging over the delegates the Afghan Government is pressing for a template he halted violence possibly in exchange for more prisoners being released the militant group has reiterated its longstanding view that the country should be run according to islamic law how does that square with the rights of women and minorities and a democratic form of government is as yet unclear he wants more on the talks so far. All eyes are on. The wealthy qatari capital is the stage for historic peace talks between the taliban and the Afghan Government. The stakes the high. Expectations. We have been waiting. For this moment to get after us to talk to each other were ready to help or prepare to help if help is needed. Also ready to help u. S. Secretary of state mike payout he wants u. S. Troops out of afghanistan and former enemies to play nice. We urge you to make decisions to move away from the violence in the correct approach of peace and development and prosperity. Here do to preserve and to build a better for the social economic political games that are here mr cheap in the past 20 years. But it hasnt been all gains in afghanistan almost 2 decades after the u. S. Led invasion the economys in tatters millions have been pushed into poverty and violence still claims dozens of lives every day. Government delegates in doha hoping a truce will bring an end to it and create lasting peace in the future. We are here with good intentions to realize durable peace and engage in sincere negotiations and debates in order to reach a comprehensive settlement between the 2 sides are the other side says its committed to the talks for the sake of the Afghan People we want to give them this assurance that with full honesty we continued the afghan peace negotiation and we tried that. For peace and quality we will keep the ground in afghanistan. For now it appears the parties are headed in the right direction. But exceeding peace in afghanistan will require much more than about the commitment. We read from a afghan President Hamid karzai speaking exclusively to d. W. Has said that he was certain the taliban would respect the progress of womens rights and freedom of speech made in the country in the past 2 decades these are these are fundamental rights in any. Were doing society in any society that looks forward for progress. And. Better in light of men and better days these these are fundamental rights without these rights you cannot have a Prosperous Society or a. Society thats progressing of these rights the right to education for Afghan People for children especially specially that i to education for our daughters who is in afghanistan is a fundamental that we cannot compromise on and im sure the taliban are also recognize and work to promote so will be the same software from. Joins me now for more and the same good to see you how many karzai sounding confident that the taliban will recognize the rights of women and minorities other grounds for that optimism. Well the covert ministrations of can government wants to keep the current political system and the achievements of the last 19 years including womens rights civil rights and a not well functioning democracy but at least the African Republic but this democratic constitution afghanistan is now in danger and its really symbolizes the progress that has been made in the last 19 years but it is not accepted by the taliban even my company or secretary of state of the United States on friday on his way to doha which is incidentally september 11th 2020 says that the u. S. Does not want to interfere and implement the western system in afghanistan where this sounds like a concession to the insurgents who want to implement as they sent a pua in total islamic system that this is whats waged in the form a spokesman of the cult office in an interview with kabul news t. V. Said on saturday and the taliban mean sharia law about it and the interpretation of that religious law could be seen in afghanistan from 1906 to 2001 no everybody just hopes that the taliban could have changed but this is only a hope. Meanwhile the taliban attacks on the ground appear to be continuing with our weekend violence in condos and copies of provinces how committed is the taliban toward duction and violence in the country. Or violence is the only real essence of the taliban have at their disposal and they have to of this leverage was enough to challenge the United States and the International Community so the Afghan Government faces huge military pressure and a lot of trouble by the insurgents that lead to a proxy war against the current political system that is backed by the west it is a similar situation like in 1809 when the soviets left and their region that was backed by them collapsed in 1902 we all know that this was the end of afghanistan as a functioning state no maybe a similar situation as arisan let us hope that there will be a negotiation solution otherwise another civil war could break out which would be terrible as ordinary afghans are really hopeful and want the nearly 20 years old and in total 40 years old conflict to end. For the time being. Thank you so much for joining us. Is all but assured to be japans next
