A law they say is on democratic and will undermine the countries bid for a new membership. The article fairly welcome to the show ceremonies, chancellor left shots as wrapping up a visit to china speaking with its leaders at a time when economic diplomatic relations between b. U and beijing are increasingly streamed. Following a meeting between schultz and chinese premier and leach young. Lee said the economic interest of both countries that remain deeply intertwined, president , aging, ping warrant schultz against resorting to protectionist economic measure thing. Both countries depend on free trade. Last year, jeremy launched a strategy to avoid over dependence on china themselves. Also spoke to chinese leaders about the war and ukraine in his last press conference before leaving beijing. Shaw said hes pushing for a diplomatic solution to the war. Lets hear what he had to say. And it is important for germany, as well as all the other friends of ukraine to keep supporting ukraine as long as it takes. And at the same time, our diplomatic endeavours for which is ukraine and to be under spacious stands to form will be continued to. Indeed, elias chief international editor, richard walker, is here in the studio with me. Did they find Common Ground on ukraine . I dont need some really say they have come and grant me they, they really all around pretty much opposing sides of this conflict. You know, gemini, very, very actively supporting ukraine militarily, the diplomatically financially and the chinese that supporting russia all the way up to just before the point of military support. Um, but theres a bit of a mix back on on the one hand and all of sholtes managed to get another statement from she, jim ping that he opposes the use of Nuclear Weapons and the praying conflict which he got a year and a half ago last time you went there, but then on the other side, she didnt ping statement did not oppose the threat of using Nuclear Weapons, which the previous statement did. He earned a half ago. So maybe one step forward, one step back to. And then what we just had in the clip that talking about the possibility of you know, peace conferences, this piece conferences, plans in switzerland this summer. And the germans would have liked the chinese to say, okay, well take part in that peace conference instead. Theyve said, okay, well we will talk about this peace conference and talk about what it could look like. And i think that, you know, really in focus is going to be whether russia also joins because the chinese and if you look at this, the statements of the chinese made their essentially saying we will support these conferences that include all sides. The russians have not been taking part in this a string, a piece conferences which ukraine and heavily involved in the russians have rejected that themselves. So well see, does egypt thing now go to Vladimir Putin and say, hey, you should take part of this peace conference. If he does, then that would be a big win, but we just dont know. Yeah, yeah. Trade always a big topic between china and germany. Salts called for a pragmatic approach. Yeah. What does he mean . Yeah. Well, we dont really know. This is going to be a lot of reading the tea leaves that, but you know, theyre very sides of this picture. The, the are paying commission is currently doing investigate sions into a chinese subsidies for electric vehicles for wind turbine. So a lot of confront important kind of Green Technologies to the big part of the economy these days. And what the china is kind of dumping these products onto west of mock is to try to, to fuel economy. And the Chinese Embassy dont like these investigations. They are saying dont do anything that we would see is protectionist germany. I think feels a little bit caught in the middle of that because of course, well, you know, be a part of the European Union. It will hope that the European Commission is standing up for its interest, but also it has these big german comp make us, were worried about a trade for because they think, okay, if the European Union frances slips terrace on chinese cause what a china is that upstairs so now cause so theyre worried about that. So i think theres gonna be a lot of focus in brussels of what shots and she exactly said to each other and the germans were promising. Okay, were talking to brussels about this as well, but they will definitely be concerned and brussels about where the shelves is trying to kind of work through their efforts down there with one or 2 very smooth announcements. So for instance, you know, beef impose apple inputs from germany into china, held up by shelves and as, as achievements from todays tools. But obviously, you know, that it does have no major, Major Products like job costs. You know, i was a chief international editor, richard walker. Thank you so much. I this russian president Vladimir Putin has told his a rainy and counterpart ever im receive, thats a new confrontation in the middle east. Codes beat, quote, catastrophic, according to the criminal pair held, talked earlier as tear on warrens israel, of a painful response if it retaliates against iran attack over the weekend. Meanwhile, the is rarely for administer. Israel caught says he has launched a diplomatic offensive against iran. He wrote on social media that he has sent letters to 32 countries and its called for sanctions on rons missile project. Now the w correspondent, im in east of, in jerusalem, said this diplomatic offensive doesnt mean military response is off the table as well. Im sure that dozens of people who are tagged in this tweet, dozens of Foreign Ministers, that is, would be happy if it was an alternative. But if you see and that tweedy also said that this would be in addition to a military response. Now, extensions are already on the table for a lot of the Foreign Ministers that you mentioned. You have u k, the us, germany and india, which is hasnt really made up its mind how to respond to this escalation, the middle east, but at least for the us, some sanctions already being put up for a vote in the house of representatives there. So this is not a controversial shop subject for israels allies, and it seems that were trying to build momentum here to get a diplomatic offensive. But a lot of these allies that you paid us in germany have urge is real to make that the alternative to military attack because they see any military attack as being an escalation. Now the is where the war cabinet has converged a couple of times now and they have said that they are going to try to avoid a regional award, that their response would be calculated and not from the god. But listen to ron this so that any military response to the strikes over the weekend would be met with a even a harsher attack. And thats because the ron sees their strike as retaliatory strike. Where is the allegedly, israels strike on an embassy complex in syria that belong to iran . So escalation is not out of the question. Even if israels response is um, is light is calculated. Now im in the war cabinet got together for the 1st time after um, october 7th of last year. And right now it seems to be focusing on a response to a ron. This, this shifted focus have consequences on the military operation and gaza. So certainly does the focus is largely on iran and as they werent gauze it has been put on the back burner, at least in the media here. And its not what is really theyre talking about at the moment. But uh, cnn has reported, thats the ground offensive. In roswell, were about a 1000000 palestinians are sheltering has been postponed. They were supposed to start evacuating people out of there, at least dropping leaflets to get people to move out of the area before a scheduled ground offensive. But that seems to have been postponed on the other hand, biden and a lot of other International Partners dont have the same ability to put pressure on israel because they need to stand with israel in the face of a threats from iran. As dw correspondent im in is of interest. Well, im thank you so much. A quick look now and some of the stories making news around the world today.
