the better place to do it is in germany. also to have both of these extraction is covered in germany and in the baltic states by regulations i mean what here with extraction can take place only on farmland given by in the baltics it can be done on land that is even better prospects for restoration. of a harbor for us but i'm sure. that you have to transport the peat from the baltics to germany. and that's not good for the environment. you can lose a lot. more pete could be extracted here in lower saxony but environmental groups are dead against it. but if pete is so valuable for food production and supplies of peat are limited why does classman down then actually burn some of the peat in the baltic states. one of the companies subsidiaries in the twentieth supplies peak directly to power stations. the company's home page describes it as cheaper fuel. peat is also extracted near shooter. baltic countries are even promoting the use of pete as an alternative to russian natural gas they've used to produce one hundred seventy tho

to germany germany is a profit for shank you very much. ed mccambridge is here now to talk football and we're talking about women's fall on fact i mean they have a new coach we know the germany squad the world kick cup kicks off in june of course and they were also on the pitch last night so tell us what's going on that's right sara martina martina of course that is the new germany coach and she is fine tuning her scored ahead of the world cup this summer is less than one hundred days to go now and what better way to prepare for a four four tournament at that than a game against the hosts france so it's a difficult game she took she took us court that france actually had more of the ball they had more shots but germany actually came out on top thanks to a goal from layer schuler in the thirty first minute so an excellent result not actually bought for stock limburg in from switzerland she used to be the switzerland coach so this was a chance for her to show her pedigree in charge of the germany sport and also a chance for the team to lay d

at the same time pete extraction is decreasing in northern germany. no but london told them of the need to get the permits are now harder to get because extraction is now only allowed on old farmland. inflation eloped is. in germany peat can only be extracted if it lies under meadows and fields and latvia can be extracted from forest land but the land has to be drained first existing more land cannot be drained but peter extraction permits are relatively easy to get here and there's not a lot of red tape. another advantage is lower labor costs and the peat producers have agreed to rework the lands where peace has been extracted even though they're not obliged to do so. it's not too late that means that you could use the land for forestry later on but that's not allowed in germany you have to return the land to a completely natural state that's the muslims it's one up and down up but it's also possible that latvia may impose tougher conditions for peat extraction maybe even tougher than what we have here in germany from the involved in the uk on it's t

germany backs one quite venezuela's legitimate leader. it seems that's one reason the government of his rival nicolas maduro has told the german ambassador to leave the country. this regime the disease power has no right to declare anyone persona non-grata this is simply a threat and that's how it should be same by the free world the german ambassador and his country have helped bring in humanitarian i. mean it's seems the madeira regime won't tolerate anyone who wants to help them is why law. always with the german envoy was among a group of diplomats he met quite at the airport on his return to caracas on monday helping him evade arrest. so far daniel crean a is the only one of them to be expelled the government accusing him of meddling in internal affairs germany says this kind of pressure won't work. he dodged a bullet so you'll have to determine government has decided to recognize quote god was interim president who should bring about free fair and democratic elections in minutes with this. completely income principle reaction will i

head of he's the president of france what we saw as he puts proposals on the table germany comes along its red pen puts around the red lines for about half of them and then the other half so yeah maybe and then you ask the germans my favorite party trick these days is when i'm out to dinner table with german politicians i say when was the last time germany had a good new idea for europe and you just get these terrified faces they haven't had a good idea since home with coal they're very good at saying no and they're very good at saying why something won't work and that's starting to get really old let's come back in just a moment to germany's own ideas a lack there of but early to go i hear you making affirmative. sounds when it comes to derek skepticism about yet another big package of proposals the first day i totally underscore everything that there still has said and i mean we're not hanging around with this question since michael's proposals were essentially hanging around with them since the treaty of maastricht ever closer union ninety two so that's thirty years that we are disc

on the other hand germany is now in a bit of a bind because if germany accepts the decision by the majority government to expel the german ambassador in some sense germany's accepting all the authority of them but there are a government to be able to do that whereas if you say that the real president in venezuela is one guide all then obviously this decree by the material government which would be invalid germany has reacted to that simply by some kind of. how shall i say finding five finding a way out by saying that it is the german government itself that is recalling its ambassador to berlin for consultations so in some sense not acknowledging the decree by the majority government but at the same time accepting it germany is not the only country supporting one is it clear why the venezuelan government under but during has singled out germany for four sanction. it's not entirely clear the reasoning by them adore a government has been that the german ambassador has exceeded its his his competencies by book getting involved in internal politics in there was it went his way a lot but you can
