8:00 am
the the, this is the, the news life from berlin, a last ditch bay, it imagines to break the deadlock of the climate talks into by phone life that goes here. so that top 28th produced a new text which could mean progress in the transition to net 0 greenhouse gases. it's you have to be approved though, and crucially does what's called for freezing out fossil fuels. also coming up, present bite and support through period and its mission to secure more us aid to president all not walk away from ukraine. neither will the american people but the
8:01 am
republicans, us to the blocking funding for ukraine's will with russia and the board in does a israel appears increasingly isolated, a huge majority of the un general assembly backs and immediate cease fire. only 10 countries, both pose the resolution, including israel as close as allied. the united states, the i'm finished manager, welcome several countries of the global climate conference comp 28 into by you have welcome to a new draft text for a final declaration which was released in the early morning. they had been tense discussions over the past 48 hours because earlier versions had not talked about the phasing out of all the fossil fuels, including cold oil and gas. that was rejected by dozens of countries, including the european unit and, and germany. now, following all like negotiations,
8:02 am
so united out of evidence conference presidency has submitted a new proposal with stronger language that goals for transitioning away from fossil fuels. denmark's minister of climate and energy done your goods and welcome the new proposal, which most likely means that the european union to react positively. this is what he said. this is a story and it will make a real difference. the markets will react to this. it will mean that if you are a country not knowing which direction to take, this secret is very clear that was moving away from full size. moving away from it and the draft text in some way to reflect that with welding, talking of transitioning away versus phase out of fossil fuels. the debit cards,
8:03 am
fine in june, us identity, who's at comp turned it into by explain why that was significant. so these might seem like technicalities, small details in the language, but they can actually make a world of difference in this kind of agreement. and a lot of countries were pushing for language on a phase out because it is stronger language. it means that we're going to have to stop producing and consuming all fossil fuels. what they have come to now, which seems to be a compromise is transitioning away. it still means that eventually we will move away from using fossil fuels, but it is weaker language even though it leads to the same goal. it is not the same as the wording phase out. so we have weaker language, therefore, does this draw off text become an improvement even a break to of the it is definitely on the improvement on the draft that cause outraged. on monday, coming from the presidency,
8:04 am
we see that we have moved from wording on reducing fossil fuels to moving away, transitioning away. that is a big improvement than we've heard from n g o's here on the ground. but also from some leaders that this is definitely an improvement. we've seen a clea, a clear reference to the goal of keeping the goal inside of keeping global temperature rises to the limit of 1.5 degrees celsius. that is also very important, but it is definitely a compromise that in there is still language on coal in there, which is the most polluting of all fossil fuels thing that they will phase down the use of cool. there is also a reference to subsidies to fossil fuels that say, says it will try to reduce inefficient subsidies. so money given to fossil fuel projects. so it is definitely a compromise between contracting positions here june of why is this one with a position to phasing out fossil fuels. when everyone knows that fossil fuels of
8:05 am
the main cause of climate change? well, you cannot make interest come into play here. there are countries like, for example, saudi arabia who's economy depends on x forwarding fossil fuels, specifically oil. there are other countries who have a similar situation with gas, but then there are also also country whose energy grid and network depend on consuming fossil fuels. for example, india, a, using a lot of coal and oil, and a lot of these countries say we would like to transition away from using fossil fuels. but we don't have the financial means to bring this transition to fruition. that's why they're also asking for funding in the text of coming from industrialize and developed countries to help with this transition. we see in this tax and distress that has just come out to that of this funding is not really clearly stated. so this could also be an item of contention. we leave it there for the timing, but thanks so much for all that. do difficult. responding to us on any of the cop
8:06 am
20 it into by thanks so much. ukraine's president of the landscape has met with political leaders in washington, dc, and a bid to get most support for this country's fight against russia. the white house is coming to aid for ukraine. we're run out by the end of the year as republicans in congress refused to release additional funds. after meetings of landscape president biden wanted republicans, they would be giving russian leader vladimir putin a christmas gift. if they withheld military aid. potent is banking on the united states failing to deliver or ukraine. we must, we must, we must prove him wrong. a strong warning from us president j bite and directed straight to the united states congress, where republicans blocking a $61000000000.00 defense package for you framed. thank you. mister president. standing beside him, ukrainian president for low dom is the lensky said he had received positive signals
8:07 am
from no makers about the possibility of more aid, but no results yet. and as us funding for ukraine is fost running out republicans of digging the heels and republican speak of the house of representatives. mike johnson came out of an earlier meeting with zalinski unmoved . so what the, by the ministration seems to be asking for is billions of additional dollars with no appropriate oversight, no clear strategy to win. and, and none of the answers that i think the american people are road domestic politics is also guessing in the way republican said they waiting to prove the financial support to ukraine, unless by degrees to tougher reforms, to reduced immigration across the southern us. buddha, welcome back. the u. s. president underlined his backing. if you train several
8:08 am
times during zelinski show a trip to dc, but without the support of congress, he could only sent him home with a fraction of the funding he's hoping for and correspond to make kind of the in keep dollars. motor bad semanski is visit the washington and the latest on the ground in ukraine. so we were all working up here. the rest at about 3 am local time by very loud bangs. i think where we were, that was the defense. michelle is working, but we've had now in recent kind of arrow. so from the authority say that 10 russian ballistic missiles were intercepted, they were all in septic wednesdays reports. but that has been ceasing damaged from deputy from those pulling me. so that has to be said, this is quite an achievement, this ballistic missiles fly, look foster, and a lot higher than more conventional cruise missiles. and these, we saw that up to a couple of months ago, ukraine wouldn't have been able to down. so russert stepping up, it's attacked on key of but from out key of seemingly able to defend itself will be
8:09 am
at significant cost of about $50.00 people injured to various degrees. and i think it's a reminder now that as an, excuse me, it was in dc that russia is still very much attacking places behind the front lines like cubans. this isn't a war that isn't just happening somewhere on the front lines. nick are talking with me signing attacks and therefore we have to talk about ukrainian and defensive because they come into the big job. but would they be, for instance, affected if you as a, the ukraine, but to be phased out, or significantly reduced? or what certainly the us is basically replaceable as a supplier of minute create in terms of financial aid, keeping ukraine's pensions and wages paid. that is something that you are paying countries, japan. other donors are increasingly taking over playing a bigger role in but in terms of providing things like missiles for the patriot missile system, which we presume might have been used today to down those rest themselves. there's basically no alternative. and even if you create what's getting money for the countries to buy us weapons, if you're buying these things,
8:10 am
combustion you often have to wait years to get them. whereas us currently is just taking things out of it, stories and giving it directly to the ukrainians to be able to basically keep up with this balance of, of a renaissance of that really isn't any way around that us supply of weapons. and right now, basically without us support, it looks like you're wearing would it best be able to go into kind of defensive mode and basically try and hold the territory. it's currently in control of that being said that you can encounter defensive against russian troops hasn't. uh, gone to plan, how does that ukraine and government intend to win this war? so when you talk to ukrainian will treat people of the record of the camera. they will tell you this, they say we try it and the someone to do what you told us, we try to follow the native doctor and we go to those tanks. we put them in a big column and we try to attack one section. the front line, and that just doesn't work if you don't have control of the space, they say the americans with the europeans would never have done the same kind of attack, would never put their troops at that risk without a superiority. and the other thing that brought you
8:11 am
a government community elected prime minister donald those cause one a vote of confidence in parliament. that means to scan his cap. and if can now take up the government business, those could be sworn in later today by police present address to dial. it's almost as incident argentina, as new economy minister has announced to slashing the value of the country scott and say, i'm more than half the move as bottom measures intended to ease the worst economic prices. in decades. argentina is new, right? thing popular as president. javier mean a has promised to drastically reduce public spending and the july and government has destroyed more than 25000 fire items many confiscated by police and the quotes president gabrielle burridge said the initiative helps prevent the criminals using firearms and limits the risk associated with owning guns at home israel has come under pressure from key allies over its war in gaza, of to weeks of stone to support us. president joe biden on monday criticized is
8:12 am
around for cold, indiscriminate bumping in does up but ease for an incest. if we persist with it's bad and ground defensive against thomas, which is classified as a cat, a group by the u. s. u and other countries of both by the un general assembly late monday also shows israel's position as increasingly isolated on the world stage member countries overburdening me back a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease fire in gaza. there was celebration of the un ceasefire resolution paused with more than 3 quarters of the general assembly voting and save the death and israel z u n. and best of the had all the before the vote that the resolution would only benefit a mass. but just a handful of countries joined israel and it's closest ally the us in voting know of
8:13 am
and has been adopted today was a historic day in terms of the powerful message that was sent from the general assembly. and it is or could active duty to continue in this past until we see and then to this aggression against our people. while the vote in new york demonstrates much of the world once in the end to the fighting. these riley government seems determined to press on. it is repeatedly ruled out ending military operations until all the hostages and calls it a fried and a mass. it's just mental that's despite thousands of palestinian casualties on the increasingly dia, humanitarian situation. but those trapped within the besieged territory these a trucks entering the southern city of rafa from egypt, a gauze is lifeline. but fall to few. i'm making it through. on
8:14 am
tuesday, israel said it would facilitate more a deliveries by starting to check a trucks at the care. i'm so long check point before the mass terrorist attacks on october 7th, most goods ended gauze a via, this is really crossing. now israel says convoys will only be inspected, a term shall alone, and will still have to enter from egypt. these early military has designated a narrow strip in south gods. i called out marissa as esther mandatory and zone. it has said that the cousins should relocate there, but the area likes the basic necessities. so it's a shelter and water for the thousands of refugees seeking safe haven. the strength of barren land, crammed with desperate gauze and seeking safety in us mostly heated
8:15 am
israel's coal to sleep. alas, seat in southern gaza when her home was boned, she now lives with her children in a thin plastic tent street. it's no place for us to worship pre. if you want to wash and get tons fittest and hopefully for that, there is no way or we can bake or get bread. it has to be clean or supermarket. it's a complete and marked 80 a little in us and other palestinians and the last see describe it is dangerously overcrowded and lacking in basic necessities like shouts, medical services and food. but israel has described alas seat as a humanitarian zone, and issued orders for civilians to evacuate. the saying able arrive, we'd be making a game with everything we have our in our capabilities, every effort we can to facilitate the movement of civilians and the size in order to mitigate civilian casualties. we're doing everything we can to set the
8:16 am
conditions for the humanitarian zone. in the, unless the coast line, the area makes up just a tiny fraction of the densely populated gaza strip. about 14 square kilometer is israel has changed, the exact board is of the safe. so in several times. and some of the occupation orders have not mentioned a little i see at old age groups of cold israel is offer of safety, a clean mirage inside the situation. and the last seat is dial that you imagine the top pocket people stacked on top of each other with all this do without a toilet, still without a drop of water. so he, you would absolutely have have side zones that are signs of disease and would become pretty or in any sign projections onto it. so it's such a important narrative to, to break this idea that people can just go to a site design if they wish. there was absolutely nothing sites about these, the gardens sheltering in and the last the say they've found no sense of safety
8:17 am
that well, let me explain all night listening to the bombing. we're living with the knife and it, at any moment it may be done. and it keeps going to die as little as the united nations says more than 85 percent of causes population has been displaced by the war. and that here in milwaukee like everywhere and gaza, there is no way truly safe to go from o. i am joined by john list husband blueshot, and a man in jordan, has them used to live in and report from casa until a few weeks ago. as i understand is a little bit better issue monitored in a reaching people in a more i see or well, this is the probably not only in the most the across the gall this right. we are talking sweet places like north goal is the uh,
8:18 am
the south end of the low as the north gauze light is suffering from uh, uh, the, the shortage of everything. um and according to the people i talked to and the reports coming from there, there is no nothing um from the anything delivered there except the time when there was the bose. this house is like, um we are talking about 1900000 people are living in a very small area and the need is very high for them. oh, i see as low as he is. um, uh its uh, design place, a small place. not everybody's there. so some organizations are delivering aid, but it's not enough, of course. now the idea of keeps going out of my way. i see uh is your money tardy and zone. i wonder if the is really armies doing anything to facilitate that? well what, what is, what are you the army is doing is quoting people to go there and they said from the
8:19 am
fast day off, but when all the people to go or to evacuate to the south side of it, what they are doing is like, according to the people, nope, environment there are, but i mean it's not clear who is responsible for it under was said like we have no responsibility for the area. it's not under our, our duty other organizations as well. they are saying we, we didn't know, but still some, some, some charities on some organizations only delivering some food and some aid, which is what people still say. it's not enough. and especially in this rainy and cold weather, how's that? is there any place that goes out that's actually safe for civilians? and this is the question. i have been awesome. like all the time. of course not. there is no shelters. i mean like under, i mean uh, protecting shelters as of proper shelter. 4 gallons,
8:20 am
and many people were killed or some, at least according to the officials about 40 or even more. their cent of the casualties were from the south, where the people are asked to leave a to and, and, and, and many people were displaced from the north and they were killed in the south and a huge number of people where and, and maxing this case. and the older people in goals, i say no, no safe place. of course there is some places less danger than others, especially the areas where the ground invasion is taking place. the un general assembly has voted over in mclean for a ceasefire. and president biden has criticized israel for its gold, indiscriminate bombing in gaza to people in gauze. i think that the world is on their side to uh,
8:21 am
in guys. uh they care about fast about, uh, the, the basic needs that the uh they want at this level. second, they call for an immediate cease fire and said they, they, uh they complain and, and decides the whole word because they are not doing enough for them. whether helping them in this circumstances or pushing is will to stop the hostilities and they think they are a band, it isolated and they left alone. this is the common thing that i hear from people or the need people across the goal is a stretch. of course, there are some, some efforts every day that when i'm talking to people they are on the os me what, what, what's happening is there a sign or a cease fire or something and people talking about um, but definitely they feel that they are offended and alone,
8:22 am
we leave it there for the time being. thanks so much for joining agendas has embellish and i'm on thank you. now as 6 western balkan countries prepared to become members of the you problem still remain for 2 of them. costs of o and sylvia. the 2 countries have been working on normalizing detonations as part of the membership bid. and the process has already taken 10 years of negotiations with the you the conflict, all the costs of what was independence is the best them both kinds longer running flash point for serbian, comfortable. however, it is also a stumbling block on that. pause to the european union as well solving the conflict of course, would be very important for both countries because of course, without a normalization process, there will be no you membership for either of the 2 countries. so for either serbia were possible cost so well you need to let to early declared its independence from
8:23 am
serbia in 2008. salvia does not recognize this ethnic. albanians comprised the majority of cost of those roughly $1800000.00 people. syrups called the majority in northern crossover, and remain lodge the lawyers too bad. great. often more than 10 years of you led talks between bag, right. and christina, an agreement in principle, was reached at the beginning of the year. since then. implementation has stalled. there is very little movement quite to the contrary. if you are facing cost, hopefully some crises that pops up, especially not of kosovo. and this is the, this other spot because we are trying, and the only ones who are paying the price for each. i don't know people in brussels, i'm not peopling the members things, but ordinary people in kosovo. any sort of tensions have recently intensified again this year. the northern region, of course, of all experience, some of the verse violin seen since the declaration of independence. the climax was
8:24 am
reached in september when around 30 serbian government clashed with course of all police in the village of funds. go leaving one policeman and 3 gunmen that the you condemned this and called for justice and accountability. first meeting of one of which things the incident changes the dynamic of the normalization process. so i think it's really more important than ever to work on on bringing those 2 parties closer to the negotiating table. because without negotiations we run the risk of further escalation. she thinks the you should put pressure on saturday to conduct an independent investigation and on both parties to implement the agreement before the elections next summer. the topic is not officially on the agenda of a meeting between rest and ball come into you lead us. but it's likely to caustic shadow hold with the discussions to some
