the the, the thing that we news live from for land, the us secretary of state, raises concerns with china as president over its support for russia's war and ukraine. and talks with changing, paying and anthony blank and criticizes china saying it's helping russia make weapons. but despite the disappointments to find room for cooperation in other areas, also coming on berlin, police, clear groups of pro palestinian demonstrators outside the german parliament. the protesters were demanding that the government stop arms and exports to israel. the

nicole for at least welcome to the show, us secretary of state antony blinking has met with china's president on the 3rd and final day of a visit frost with tensions. the 2 nations disagree on a range of issues from ukraine to china as territorial claims, but blink and stressed that it was crucial for washington and beijing to maintain open channels of communication to rival powers, try to find common ground. china as president shooting, being welcomed us secretary of state antony blinking in beijing. despite core differences on trade, security and geo politics, she expressed hope for the future. china is willing to see a confident and open us with prosperity and development. it is hoped that the

us can also look at china's development positively. only when this fundamental issue is resolved and the 1st step is taken with china us relations be truly stabilized, improved and moved forward. during is 3 day visit blinking raise concerns about china's territorial claims in taiwan and the south china sea. he also accused of the people's republic of china, or p, r. c of fueling the war and ukraine by supporting russia's weapons, industry. and my discussions today, i reiterated, are serious concern about the p r. c. providing components that are powering rushes through war of aggression against ukraine. russia would struggle to sustain its assault on ukraine without trying to support china is foreign minister has accused

the us of trying to stifle its economic and technological development as well as its regional expansion. the china us relationship is facing more negative factors and all kinds of disruptions. china is legitimate to develop in tribes have been unreasonably suppressed, and all co interests are facing challenges. should china and the us stay on the right, the costs of moving forward with stability or a to into a downward spiral. this is a major question facing all 2 countries and tests of sincerity and ability. the path forward includes holding formal talks about the risks of artificial intelligence. in the coming weeks. a short while ago i spoke, and george magnet as an economist and research associates at the china center at oxford university and the china institute at so us. he gave us his take on current

relations between china and the us as well. i think that both sides of trying to stabilize what, what does it affect, you know, not a great relationship because they both have interest to do so. in china, you know, the economy is in bad shape. a bad sitting thing is trying to sort of steer the economy away from its reliance on property and infrastructure to something new and very verify use on the employment. i think everybody knows these kinds of stories in america. it's got involvements, obviously in the middle east, in ukraine, present presidential election coming up in november. so nobody really wants that explosion or a rift that we saw, for example, during the balloon incident last year. and then you know before about over nancy pelosi, he's busy to to taiwan. so yeah, there's a bit of flowery and fuzzy language that you can hear on both sides. but if you,

you don't have to kind of look, well, listen terribly, a find the actually to hear that there is quite a tension between the united states and china. and actually, the chinese side, i thought, was quite reckoning when you use language as what was with robert inappropriate for a meeting like that is to be honest at blink, and wants china to stop supporting rushes war in ukraine. both of us and china are interested in stabilizing ties instead of there. but is china keen enough to change policy in what it calls and no limits friendship with moscow or yeah, i, i don't think so. to be honest, i mean, to be fact, you know, chinese banks have been white castle not to be seen to be facilitating the financing of, uh, you know, military commerce or anything like that for fear of the secondary sections which

the united states martin levy. but obviously us intelligence must have some kind of information about the activities of chinese companies, uh, shipping products and uh, you know, military goods. so i support goods to the, to the russians. um, you know, which may be financed by smaller banks, which are not really in the main kind of focus of international finance. so i think that's the kind of just a fling cause warning, which is that there wouldn't be further sanctions if the china doesn't really kind of sit on this. i suspect that's exactly what's going to happen by the way. those george blacklist with the china center at oxford university talking to his earlier well, the u. s. has amounts to is providing ukraine with another $6000000000.00 in a just days after the senate agreed on a $61000000000.00 package defense secretary lloyd austin said along with missiles for patriot air defense systems,

you brain will also receive artillery. ammunition troops will be equipped with you're allowing them to integrate western weapon rate into soviet era systems. this is the largest and here in berlin, german, chancellor, well, i saw, posted nato secretary general against salton berg for talks. the meeting was in preparation for the lines of the annual summit which will be held in washington in july. the peer discusses the war and ukraine and how to boost defense spending to counter threats from russia and china. soleberg praise germany for its commitment to support a ukraine. the pair also urged allies to do more to help people. and camille grant is an expert in defense and security policy of the european council on foreign relations. and i asked him why european allies are hesitant to follow germany's example and do more to help you print i just failed to to reason. so that's it. some of them think you don't have the capacity because they the say to

over at the brokers still fines and so therefore they are struggling. then there is a small group which is more reluctant on the assistance ukraine, and the email stating from the one that they want to deliver weapons to be hunger. so either the memorization is that we have more and more of a dean desktops, all producing for your brain. but it is that it's showing that the something that, yeah, mm hm. what would you say are the lessons your of has learned since the work broke out in ukraine? as easy, there's been a hard lesson for many europeans. first of all, it was a, the transformation of the relationship to russia and would sure collapse from a partnership relationship to something quite different uh, and the tier of approximately the size now seeking with most european nice. the 2nd thing is that we were very you prepare for that type of dogs. the attrition

was we didn't have to appropriate stokes. we didn't have the production capacity, which led europeans to really have a sort of a very serious weight of quarter on their b. c. p ever copper ministry follow the steps that are going supporting new printing. they're not on their own. yeah, well there has been a reckoning as well. 1 internally, in many countries, right? many countries investing more in their military and their defense capabilities. but there are still many countries that rely on different weapon systems. even in the european union, you know, systems that require different ammunition. that means they can't be deployed together effectively. why do you think the issue is not able to develop a coordinated defense policy, as well as the terms, but this is the response of each of nature and induct framework we do out of a proper norms and standards that guides interpret to jim wants me to add ice,

but we haven't worked hard enough to ensure that this would work in a trustable and we have chewed sigway from intel riveted to drink, dirt, change your budget to your weapon systems, to guarantee that that ice are capable of working together. and every single weapon system is a valuable paul or alex. and the 2nd thing is, uh within did you? uh there's, there's been a remarkable progress since the since in february 22, we send you a training and you're printing soldiers or using your can just to send it to to strip of ukrainians. and also bringing together many of the new tools into you, toolboxes boucher train, but we're not quite there yet. and the importance of seeing your gains put back together on the fence and probably be best much more in defense. not only nationally bit oversized in europe in those camille crandall with the european council on foreign relations. let's take

a quick look down at some other stories making news around the world today. the french and german defense ministers have ratified an agreement on parents to jointly manufacture a newly designed bottle tank. francis of us young nichol, new and jeremy's voice. the story is described the cooperation of the stuart. the project worth billions of bureaus also includes a new system for data links between numerous weapons platforms. britain's king charles is to return to public duties for the 1st time since being diagnosed with cancer. back in february, statement from buckingham palace. the king was responding well to treatment and the doctors were positive about his continued recovery. the poles have closed in the 2nd stage of india, small tie face national election. millions of voters cast balance across 13 states and union territories. and commented prime minister in the rental modi is seeking a rare 3rd term. his hindu nationalist b. j. p is also aiming for a super majority which could empower his coalition to change the constitution.

on police here in berlin have cleared a pro palestinian protest campus set up outside the german parliament building. the group created the encampment more than 2 weeks ago was saying they wanted the german government to stop sending weapons and military support to israel. police say they act in to, to ban the camp after some protesters repeatedly used to ban symbols and slogans. a reporter spoke to protesters and police. so we've been here. what does this now uh, exist at 60 in 17 days, just over 2 weeks and we've been peace when we've been harassed by the police every single day. they have given us, like the stupidest restrictions they have forbidden us from using language, is that on german and english, they have a criminal lives now save permanent, live our prayers, our songs are workshops and now they are there a session reasoning for a big thing. this time that we had

a sofa and that we are hurting the grass, that's for the test campus. the trouble protest, compass being prohibited because there have been a piece of violations of the rules for public assembly and criminal offenses committed. thomas, about the protest leaders did not intervene to prevent this from happening. this is for him not to that. so the protest has been deemed a threat to public safety. kind of made a mistake if there are no malls or measures to prevent more crime. so i can cite meant to hatred for him, not in our political correspondence. simon young has more on how the authorities in germany are dealing with pro palestinian protests. yeah, well as you saw in this particular case, the police said that has been criminality and violence around this camp. i think probably they were also a bit concerned because it was low tied to rights in the heart of the government districts here in berlin. but more generally, i think it's fair to say that police have often felt they needed to police these

kind of pro palestinian demonstrations that we've seen over the last few months pretty closely in some cases breaking them up at there. is this a allegation of incitement that coming from these protests in some cases. and they use all in particular of band slogans and band uh, images and so on a is a, is a problem. it can be difficult for the police to decide exactly when the law has been broken. for instance, with the slogans to the a just wanted in, in arabic or, you know, the language is uh, you know, that may be difficult for the police or in some cases raises when maps of the region of the middle east region that held up in the palestinian colors that may be problems. sometimes they've taken a sort of precaution, we approach pulling people out or even in the closing the demonstrations down and leaving it. of course in the end is the quotes that to decide when the lower has

actually been broken. and with that reporting from our political correspondence, simon young, we have reached the end of our show. stay with us now though, because our next our car show rep looks at how one influence are shaking up the automobile industry with her bold approach to car culture. thank you so much for joining us by the driven by greed in the 2000 storage of band engaged in various high risk business practices. race for ever highest process. then the epic demise of a german institution. the dodge of bank story starts may seconds on the w. i'm just going to jump in and turn it on because the thought is, what is so special? great. i mean come on.
