00:00 In Germany, the farmers' protests, which have robbed the country over planned subsidy cuts,

00:06 have temporarily halted.

00:08 Farmers' Association President Joachim Rackwiedt is pushing for negotiations, with the federal

00:13 government emphasising the need for results by Thursday, January 18.

00:19 The protests, ongoing since the start of the new year and culminating in front of the Brandenburg

00:24 Tor in Berlin, with over 30,000 protesters and 5,000 tractors, exceeded expectations.

00:31 Joachim stated that it was time for talks, signalling the need to end protests, temporarily

00:37 approach MPs and engage in solution-oriented discussions.

00:41 The German government had to make budget cuts just before Christmas, leading to protests

00:46 over subsidy reductions for farmers.

00:48 While the government backpedalled on some measures, including the motor vehicle tax

00:53 exemption and agricultural fuel subsidy, farmers continued their protests.

01:00 Discussions between farmers' representatives and parliamentary group leaders resulted in

01:04 good proposals, but no agreement on the agricultural fuel subsidy.

01:09 Finance Minister Christian Lindner emphasised the challenges in reversing subsidy cuts and

01:14 Agriculture Minister Sam Ozdemir suggested a levy on meat products.

01:19 Raghvel highlighted the importance of dropping the tax increase on agricultural fuel, giving
