The old off, schultz hearing with his high patch, which hes been wearing sense of jogging accident last weekend. And at the top of the agenda of germanys hobbled economic prospects and the governments plans to tackle the shots dependent. His course, the opposition lever attacked, the chancellor saying that the budget plans fall short of meeting the challenges of russia is more in ukraine and the nature of expectations. This is part of what chancellor shots have to say in his speech. On this i have to step out of the law. The seriousness of the situation is not rhetorical. Are a joke in everything we do. Now. I need to make sure that we will be able to make these funds available. We will guarantee that the bonus reaches the 2 percent may to quote and 202820292013 truth thirtys. Thats how its now meant to be our chief political ever certainly get a cook now has been following the debates in germanys parliament mikaela joshua salt is on the defensive, over the struggling economy in germany. Any word on how he plans to fix it . Well, he says theres a need for a germany speed as he calls at lightning speed, which isnt really the fact right now when it comes to planning permissions to getting that infrastructure for Renewable Energy on track here in germany. And thats where he actually called on the opposition to Work Together with them. Now its very unlikely that they will be willing to do this is lots of Regional Elections coming up. What is contained in the budget . So is a total of 100000000000. 00 half of that round about for germanys train system in infrastructure projects. And the opposition says thats not enough. And its telling the chancellor at that his pledge was a 2 percent goal, is only rhetoric at the moment. Its simply sees the 30000000000 gap in the years to come something on ourselves accepts, but says that the policies reflected in this post corona and a post.

Well, the dermatologist stress, that term is the 2nd largest supporter of the United States of ukraine. 60, when it comes to financial assistance, but also military hardware. And his flags, he says, will be, continues that there is a true site and then the it change. And that, that needs to be recognized across the country of but his take is that he needs full 16 federal states here in germany to be willing to implement reforms also to create the kind of conditions that allow for future investment. For instance, germany just gave 10000000000 to the semi conducted Company Intel for its especially 1000000000 investments here in germany. So there may be no chips act like in the United States, pledging hundreds of billions upfront. But he did touch that. He would continue to facilitate that kind of investment. So more assistance from the german becomes the German Government said that thats also seen by the taunts as a way to ensure that germany will live up to its defense and strategic commitments in the future.
