josh, december 22nd on d, w, and the this is the w news, as i have from the land and historic breakthrough at a cold climate summit. all night negotiations. and dubai results and agreements from session away from fossil fuels. the hard for deals and the powerful signal to investors and policy makers, scientists say it is the last best hope to stave off climates dissolved. also coming up on the program, prussia is mounting on israel over the. it's full against come off and goes. that's
3:01 pm
a huge majority of the un general assembly voted to back and immediate ceasefire. but israel says it will continue with it's offensive and present in 5 and supports ukraine and its mission to secure more us aid. mister president. o my walk away from ukraine. neither will the american people thoughts for public hands. still locking us funding for ukraine's guides freshman the new kids is making and welcome to the program of to all night told. so the jo ann's global climate conference ended by countries have agreed to a deal which calls for transitioning away from o fossil fuels. some $200.00 countries agreed to a conference declaration of to much debate surrounding its wording,
3:02 pm
and also off to accusations of interference from fossil fuel industries. that is all describing the final deal as a major step forward in fighting climate change. started the reached the un climate conference delegates agreed that fossil fuels have got to go to keep up efforts to get to know more than one and a half degrees of global warming by the middle of this century. fossil fuels are by far the biggest driver of human and used climate change. we have given a beautiful bus action plan to keep 1.5 within reach. it is a plan that is led by the science. it is a balance of the coast emissions. many will lead us president of the summit. see it as a milestone power for mine as i this is
3:03 pm
a day of great joy. many people across the board have worked tirelessly to achieve this results. in gone by tense. it was no easy feat. the agreement came after hours of overtime negotiations and the device summit, some parties were opposed to the woods phase, out being included in the the phrase was eventually replaced with transitioning away from fossil fuels. some plan with activists feel a disability too late takes as it is now, it's still a death sentence for the pacific. we can celebrate the small incremental changes, but there's not enough done in the to adjust the root cause of the comic process, which is the extraction of fossil fuels. there's not enough in there to address the phase that are fossil fuels and we cannot continue the company and celebrate just the peanuts that is given to our region. of the critics of the deal say it does not impose enough responsibility on goods, countries to good fossil fuel use and provide student support for low income
3:04 pm
nations. and that did not stand in the way of deal going through the don't use tim shown the cause in to by gave us an assessment of the reactions to the deal as well. it is for such an historic deal or has at least a story, elements for 30 years of climate change to climate change conference history. it was never possible to mention fossil fuels in the final agreement. and now parties have agreed to just transition away from fossil fuels. so this is huge, and this is indeed historic about germany's foreign minister said before. we have been with one foot in the fossil fuel worlds and with one foot in the world of the renewables. now, the end of the fossil fuel era has been decided for 2 years ago. it was unimaginable to talk about to negotiate about fossil fuels. this has been done here
3:05 pm
before the hot metals we saw that in the, in the past days it was really emotional. but we also have to say those commitments on non bond. so it really depends on lead us to go back home now and put into practice what they have decided to you. otherwise, it's an historic agreements on paper, right? so this is, disagreement is non binding and talking about things, practically, we're talking about a transition away from. so does this really mean the end of fossil fuels any time soon? well, definitely not. and here is the devil and the detail. um, it mentions just to highlight some points and countries are required to transition away from fossil fuels according to their capacities. this is necessary, as, yeah, as we know, countries in the world, for example,
3:06 pm
developing countries of multiple countries. countries have very different of financial capacities. the very different points in the economic development, etc. but this also means they can adapt of the transition an energy transition to that that needs. but this also means, okay, they might use a fossil fuels longer. then it also mentions natural gas as the transition energy as a transition fuel that means, okay, um if the country wants to go to lots of renewables shuts down, i cope our plan, it's can use natural gas, which is a fossil fuels as a transition energy and thirdly, there are exceptions, for example, for coal, we only speak from a coal stays down, and that was instead of transition away from for, for something that was necessary as countries also countries as india and china, for example, are still heavily invested in coal power. and they would probably not have agreed to um, to a deal like that if, if there was stronger language on,
3:07 pm
on culture. and thanks so much for the update. that's d w 's. tim shown the reporting from do by israel is coming under pressure from t allies over its war and garza of the month of storage support. us president joe biden criticized israel on tuesday for quote, indiscriminate foaming and gaza. a vote by the un general assembly also indicates israel's growing isolation on the well state of the nations overwhelmingly back to a resolution demanding and immediate to monetary and see spa and gaza. but is roland says that will persist with it's an ground offensive games come us, which is classified as a terra group by the us, the you and several other countries. there was celebration of the un as the cease fire resolution paused with more than 3 quarters of the general assembly voting and
3:08 pm
save the death and israel z u n. and bass of the head. all you 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 no has been adopted. today was a historic day in terms of the powerful message that was sent from the general assembly. and if is our collective 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 freed. i'm a mass, it's just mental that's despite thousands of palestinian casualties and the increasingly dia,
3:09 pm
humanitarian situation. but those trapped within the besieged territory. these a trucks entering the southern city of rafa from egypt or causes lifeline that fall to few. i'm making it through on tuesday, israel said it would facilitate more a deliveries by starting to check a trucks at the care. i'm shalom check point before the mass terrorist attacks on october 7th, most goods and to garza via this is really crossing. now israel says convoys will only be inspected, occur amish alone, and will still have to enter from egypt. a tony me now in the studio is on middle east unless shawnee or is on us. i shani. and so we've seen this u. n. a general assembly votes for a ceasefire. we've heard president biden speaking very clearly criticizing israel,
3:10 pm
so indiscriminate bombing in gaza. do you think that this will have any effects in, in a, pushing israel to change its course? well, it's clear for me is really official statements. and they know that the clock is ticking. international support is not the mess for too long. they're already striding starting to talk about some finish line, at least for this part of the offense, as we've seen it in a couple of weeks before after 2024 start stuff unclear, but it's clear that it's, it's not much longer than that, but we need to keep in mind, you know, we were mentioning the un which, which is 33 quarters of, of nations where we're sending, you know, in favor of the ceasefire. the americans are not there. and this is the most important thing for israel, as long as they have american support and backend to keep on fighting a guess from us. they will do that. and despite the criticism we've been seeing from by that is real, feels that it has the support of the americans for the immediate goal of eradicating come off as well in gaza. the problem started when we start talking
3:11 pm
about that and game for gaza. this is what we see more and more of the risk between israel and the americans and to the rest of international community growing bigger and bigger. so you would say that pressure is clearly growing on his route, right? absolutely. i mean these to the americans we, i mean they're very much, deeply involved in what's happening and israel b a in as national security advisor. the american one is going to be heading to israel tomorrow, object sullivan. he wants to know what's the deadlines he wants to know what israel has in mind. and this is exactly where it is really the americans are going back and forth for quite some time. now the americans say, where, where do you see cause of the day after and israel's good st user keep saying, well 1st we need to get there and then we'll see. and we've seen this and now more and more vocal in the last couple of days against any consideration of bringing the palestinian authority to revitalize reformed ones seems to gaza. and this is something the americans are very not happy with. they want to see a solution for gaza as part of a solution for the whole palestinian problem. they also know this is the only way
3:12 pm
to bring in support for reconstruction of calls from countries like this. are you able to and you are e and other golf countries that say we're not going to help israel solve the cause, a problem where they keep on indiscriminate the bombing people without talking about a long term solution for palestinians. and this is something that to now is unequivocally not even willing to consider. right now. i want to ask you about the trucks, a trucks the that are being inspected by israel of the car. i'm shalom crossing, but we know that the trucks can still only and so gauze uh through the russell crossing. can you explain to us what the points of that is? i mean, why hasn't the correct term shalom crossing also being opened would not make it easier for me to be honest, it's about keeping up appearance. israel said exactly right after the 7th of october, a tech happened. we are cutting ties. some guys off, we don't want to know, want to be in charge of what's coming in, what's coming out. everything that happens needs to go through egypt. you know, we're rolling, that's all to the left. but we know so again, talking about the americans and that pressure, there's
3:13 pm
a mountain of pressure for bringing in more humanitarian aid. the rough crossing is all is, is not as advanced as the cam show on what the one is around the cam. so on which was the one and use the main one and use up until october. the 7th attack is far more advanced and can process many more trucks. so israel is processing the trucks and the camps on crossing, but then sending them back to, to egypt to go through wrap up. there is an understanding parks, you probably will see that part of the pressure of plat 5 by sullivan tomorrow and the americans they dropped the theatrics drop technics. let's bring 8 in in the most efficient way. so it means that gums directed stories. well, let's do that. because this is technically, you know, technical elements that are eventually not helping anybody cuz we're, we're seeing when we're, that's in gauze and the dire situation there. it's not even helping in the benefit of israel, and this is in east cause and, and, you know, trying to push my mazda away from, from the strip. i'm at least to, unless johnny rose on his thanks so much honey, you're welcome. i okay,
3:14 pm
we're going to take a look now at some of the other headlines making news around the world. and the task has been sworn in as the new prime minister of poland, ending a is a populist rule. he has a pro european coalition government and his vowing to restore opponents position in the you. he also said he would just the west to mobilize in support, says he trade schools in highways and parts of no one's in and central. trina had been closed for the 2nd time this week of the heavy snow full on high winds. experts are predicting as much as 20 centimeters of snow in some areas. the snow is expected to be followed by plunging temperatures. townsend knowles in queensland and australia, bracing the tropical cycling. jasper, which is set to make land full laces today. officials, a warning of winds is up to 140 kilometers per hour. it's like loans. fast winds pull down power lines with almost 16000 homes facing outage.
3:15 pm
now, you cranes presidents a lot of means zalinski has met with political leaders in washington, dc, and a bid to get more support for his country's fights against russia. the white house says current aid for ukraine will run out by the end of the year, as republicans in congress refused to release additional funds of the amazing zalinski. president biden warned republicans, they giving the russian leader of let them, if those in a christmas gift. if they kept withholding military aid, the food is banking on the united states failing to deliver for 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. right. thank you. mister president. standing beside him, ukrainian president for low dom is zalinski,
3:16 pm
said he had received positive signals from no makers about the possibility of more aid, but no results yet. and as us funding for ukraine is foster running out republicans the digging the heels and republican speak of the house of representatives. mike johnson came out of an early a meeting with zelinski unmoved. and so what the bite administration 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 republicans say they were in to proof of the financial support to ukraine, unless by degrees to tougher reforms, to reduced immigration across the southern us. buddha, welcome back,
3:17 pm
the u. s. president on the line to his backing. if you crane several times during the lensky show trip to dc, but without the supports of congress, he could only sent him home with the fraction of the funding he's hoping for. the w correspondent, net come late, who's in cave, told us more about what a reduction in u. s. military aid would name. so you tried? well, the thing is right now ukraine has enough air defense systems for ki, have maybe a few of the other big cities. but this is a vast country, more than a 1000 miles from east to west. they said, you know enough to go around different project little cities, especially how to keep odessa seeing much was destruction and keep for instance. but it's also about the staff thoughts and about the munitions to keep the systems going. right. even if you're trying to order them on the open market, they're all waiting times of year. so basically, the only hope you grant has is for these missiles, the intercept themselves to be delivered from us stokes directly rather than waiting for them to be produced and outside the us. there just isn't any other game
3:18 pm
in town. european countries have been supplying different systems, but none of that can really into set these kinds of very things, ballistic missiles in a way that the american system scan. that was the w correspondent, that connelly reporting for us from keith at gemini, is 3 policy coalition. government has reached an agreement on the 2024 budget. now this ends a weeks long crisis, triggered by a constitutional court decision, the blue, a 17000000000 euro hole in the budget. according to the new plans, the government will make cops to it's climate and transformation funds. while financial support for ukraine will remain in place. constitutional port have ruled, but 60000000000 euros and emergency loans to combat the pun. demik could not be reallocated to the climate funds. the government had done just that in violation of the country strict limits on borrowing, known as the debt break. to discuss this further,
3:19 pm
i'm joined in the studio by my business colleague, chris cope at chris. good to see i'm so the german government has agreed on these costs instead of spending more money. so can you explain to us why the german government is so very reluctant to go into that? because as i mentioned, there is the debt break and is in try and in determine constitution of the debt break says that any german government is only allowed to take on 0.35 percent of g d p. s fresh that and the liberals which are part of the 3 party coalition for adamant to, to adhere to the step break after the government has been suspending the debt break during the current of ours from dynamic for example, or to offset the impact that russia's war and crane has been having on germany, they have been caused to reform to change the debt break. but that break by economist saying that depending on what you spend the money on, there's good and that's the good and bad debt. but in order to change that,
3:20 pm
you need to support of the opposition in parliament, which are the conservatives who came up with the idea of the debt breaking the 1st place. so there is no support there. so they have to adhere to that break, meaning that they have to make amends. they will cut the subsidies for diesel used by farmers. for example, for the solar industry. they're coming up with new taxes for plastic packaging or a tax on carriers and used on domestic flights. and as you mentioned, there will be cuts to the climate and transition the transformation fund of the challenge that left. so it's um how does out into speech to parliament to, to invest heavily in the green transition despite this whole budget crisis. so is this reflected in the numbers now? great on it is because the german government, german state is heavily investing still in this transformation. but to a smaller to the government will put a $12000000000.00 euros less into that fund in the coming year. and up until the
3:21 pm
year 202745 1000000000 bureaus less. so in the coming years overall, there will still be under the $60000000000.00 euros to be invested in the transformation transition towards the clean energy uh or to a green economy. but it is significantly less than intended by the company. okay. and looking at the german economy, which isn't growing right now, is it? so what, what does all of this means that you have an economy? it means that it could be more difficult to get out of this slump. because conventional economic wisdom tells you that in times of low economic growth or no economic growth, it's wise by the government to, to, to spend money to invest, to get the economy going out. there is no room for these expenditures as we have learned. and so with the emissions charge that people and companies are paying for fuel and for heating sets to rise. so we'll costs for households and,
3:22 pm
and companies. that's another, another burden here that we're looking at, making it more difficult for the economy to grow. there could be support from a different area though, because we have seen that collective agreements have been pushing up wages up to the, to it, to a level that is higher, that inflation is right now. so there could be support for households who are, you know, spending, spending more money and with inflation set to come down further. in the coming years, there is the hope that the european central bank will also lower interest rates, which then again, could be a boon for the economy. so it's no bad news and not all that, but um it is, uh, well, it is challenging. all right. uh, business colleague, chris cope, i think so much i it's all right here. uh, some more weld headlines and argentina is new economy. minnesota has announced that he is flashing the value of the country's currency. by more than haul, the move is positive measures intended to ease the worst economic crisis. in
3:23 pm
decades, argentina is a new right wing populist president, have a male i has promised to drastically reduce public spending. around 12000 baby titles have been released into the river. it 10 years bordering bolivia and brazil in the hoss of the amazon and this is part of the government scheme to repopulate the spaces. total numbers have reduced significantly to, to habits that loss and the illegal trade in the x. now he is considered one of the most important german painters of old time. caspar david finish, loves for his landscapes. his works well. however, the co opted by the nazis who exploits of them full of every month to depictions of germany. people avoided his works for years after the 2nd world war. but that is changing in an exhibition has just opened in hamburg and northern germany. so
3:24 pm
bracing, what would have been the office 250 as best i wonder above the sea of folk. this is one of the most iconic paintings from the beginning of the 19th century. its creator is generally considered the most important german artist of his generation, casper david, free to book them to bundle the same as wonder above the sea of august on the present, especially now in the age of social media. and even many people identify with this image and a disrespect project is once again, some of a pop star. what is the speed of the shift? the retrospective and homework which exhibits over 60 paintings looks at the relationship between man and nature. or it also focuses on how the german painter inspires artists today, especially at the time of climate crisis. so to show that we have an equally large extensive exhibition that is about the contemporary reception of
3:25 pm
rejections. and especially in the age of climate change, where we see changes in the whole structure of nature when this comes not to the food because our views of nature has changed. in many of these newer works refer to specific words by 3 direct, but in order to define this new position of the world today quite to and you know, i can, katie, but these are noise because it's, you want to push them on fox casper. david treasury was born in 1774 in the northeast of germany on the baltic sea. his childhood was overshadowed by the early depths of his mother and 2 of his siblings. many years of his life were plagued by depression and poverty. his works reflects this isolation, many of his paintings focus on cold, dark winters and start landscapes for redress was part of the 19 centuries romantic movement which occurred right after the enlightenment. a period of time characterized by logic, math, and science. the romantics were more interested in portraying the beauty and
3:26 pm
wonders if the wild been searching for answers as to how the world works. one of the fundamental aspects of fried race works is the way the figures never face the viewer. but they're always gazing into the painting of these people. one gets off with these figures, they're looking at a specific event. but with this simply gazing introspectively, we don't actually know, i don't think we sometimes have to wake up and realize just how much we don't know about critically explain things. this can also be a strength, often stuck in what is known about the romantic painter, is that his exploration of the relationship between human and nature helped to transform landscape painting into art for a new age. that remains relevant to 100 years on are
3:27 pm
still watching dw news. as a quick reminder for you of our top story. as being an historic breakthrough at the top 20 a climate summit of the tense talks, negotiations approved a deal to transition away from fossil fuels. fun to say a shop ton away from fossil fuels is necessary to stave off climate catastrophe. and with that, you are up to date, i'm any tips and the can. i thanks so much for watching. dw, the

the opportunities, the challenges to try new things. take slides with the that we use business magazine made into many next on d, w for us with a terrible past week. it was a nice new page. was us troops advanced in germany to bring in more to in europe. so i was in there this year, i witness accounts of the battle of route and forest in 45 minutes on d w. the might see me how much can we do simultaneously?

multitasking diesel, modern this? because if we do too much at once, we get it all wrong, mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage humans and multitasking. watching our new to v w documentary, the as the world's biggest emitter of carbon emissions. china is often at the receiving end of criticism, but that could change on some of the countries that had been critical of china me one day left behind when it comes to green innovation and technology will be looking at that. and the farming which is also suffering the effects of climate
