3:02 am
by chance of the old life shown safe by using a wave of why the discontent that seems to run deeper than farmers diesel prizes. i'm feel guile invalid and this is the day. the energy prices jobs integration. industries being destroyed in the spring sent everywhere, but not here. when you think about how the schools look, that's really sad. we professional hunters declare our solidarity with the farmers . we called co, you'll depends when the government needs to change. most importantly, the government needs to resign in order new elections because they're incompetent. also coming up on the day, what is the future for garza when the fighting is over? and so these meetings, i was also crystal clear,
3:03 am
the palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as conditions allow. they must not be pressed to leave god welcome to the day. uh, we saw it here in by lane with thousands of tractors and trucks of couldn't well come to the bay. uh, we saw it here in by lane with thousands of tractors and trucks of converged on the drum and capital was angry farm as protest against cuts in agricultural subsidies and increasing regulation. monday's riley includes, concludes a week of protests, including the blockade of motor away on drums across the country. the demonstrations of tapped into a groundswell of dissatisfaction of a cost of living increases in german society, trucks and truck to zillow already been blocking the streets of land for more than a week. on monday, around $10000.00 farm is turned down, talking the vehicles in the center of the capital to draw our attention to the
3:04 am
demands. they want more financial help from the government. otherwise they say farming is under the rent. but for many pro testers, this is about more of an agriculture and are you plaza energy prices? jobs, immigration industry is being destroyed. we have to do something there once. it's no longer just about farmers and diesel, it's about everything the government has to go. so, you know, there's really no, don't just farmers who are joining in. it's almost a popular uprising the they keep them here. the government is not listening. and above all, it's not listening to the people in rural areas. if you wanted to be me and you could say this politics favors urban areas, well, rural areas are being left behind and we're protesting against things on the docket . and what is the india in the gym and finance managed to face the crowd. he said foam is had to make a contribution in difficult times, but he outlined his position that the government cannot help with more cash the
3:05 am
subsidies spot, agricultural diesel will not expire immediately. they will be reduced step by step over the coming years. i code promise you more state from the federal budget today so we can fully together for you to enjoying more freedom and respect. feel work on the the is woods, did not go down. well, he was shouted down from his leaders code for the crowd to give the minister a hearing, but also restated the plan to keep protesting. if the government withdraws the plan to raise taxes, we will remove the tractors from the street so long. as long as they won't do that, we will continue to make use of that constitutional right to demonstrate these noisy protests to becoming
3:06 am
a problem for ourselves as government. if they're not willing to roll back that costs the farm is likely to stay camped in berlin for some time to come. well that result from the date of the political correspondent assignment young, who joins us now. a welcome assignment, so that the farm is that just the latest manifestation of unrest that within germany that stopped with them. what did they want as well? so the, the government is withdrawing hundreds of millions of euro's worth of subsidies to agriculture. in particular, this is about the subsidies for the diesel for fall on those, but it's also, for instance, the governments have been withdrawing and exemption on road taxes for agriculture vehicles. that they're also complaining about. some other things like bureaucracy and environmental and animal welfare standards for instance, which they say
3:07 am
a 2 bed and some and make them uncompetitive. and they said a time way farm is site is becoming more and more difficult to make a living. and many, som is already site getting out at the base they so that you've got these pretty angry protests and get pharma say, unless all these, these plans with cuts from the government to withdrawal. and they're just going to go on protesting. so you've got a, a stay all night to think of the money. right. and that, but the government didn't make some concessions with tally nothing enough for these farmers as well. they did, they've already said that they'll sort of smooth this over a bit to the, the diesel subsidies will be withdrawing over 3 years rather than immediately. and that might make it a little bit easier. the most i talked about introducing friends is a levy on the price of food to cover those kind of animal welfare standards. but it's hard to see how that really helps if it pushes out the price of paid. the government's talked about introducing as
3:08 am
a reforms or changes to its plans by the sound of that probably i think would be too late. now the coalition thought a potties are saying they're going to get together and see if they can come up with something that will appease the farm. is that even later this week? but you are given that the government is said, you know, this is about saving money. there's a big hole in the national budget at the moment, given the difficulties that it's hard to see how they can really, you know, give back to very much unless of course they say right want, will scrap the plans altogether and start with a new negotiation, right? from the beginning, but they don't look set to do that the moment and then tell us about these reports in rooms that many of these farmers demonstrations have been info infiltrated by a jeremy's fall right. as well. that said the, the farm is a unit. i said he's very concerned to make sure that that isn't the case. they say foam is just exercising the democratic right to protest on show that is true in the
3:09 am
overwhelming number of cases. having said that, as you saw in those clips, a lot of the people supporting these protest. uh, you know, a saying that this goes beyond following really is about why there are issues like the cost of living that's making life difficult for people across germany. it's about migration is about money being sent to support ukraine, that a lot of people are angry. it's easy to see how in that context for right policies can sort of seek to background. police say that they have picked up some coals by anti states and populist a far right. great still to do so to join these protests and get involved. and so that there's, there's concern definitely about that. ok, thank you for that assignment assignment or a dw political correspond to how serious is that you haven't government's proposal to cut agriculture of fuels. subsidies is called
3:10 am
highlight and brock, who visited a dairy farm and not far from ballad to find that every machine paid the times farm and a half year long district. the a berlin is powered by a diesel engine to manage as a business with 1000 heck, there's a farmland. and 170 derek house. when he refuses 5 tractors, it gets expensive. this tractor has a full 180 leader tank. so far he has received around $0.21 per liter, as a refund from the government. beautiful the loan in the 20 to where he was a $120000.00 leaders of diesel per year. so to us, this is the refund was worth around $25000.00 bureaus from $20000.00 or it will start to but the subsidy was supposed to be gradually reduced and discontinued by 2026. what kind of a farmers don't want to accept that's not protesting nationwide,
3:11 am
like here in the hospital and region and they've had some success. the government is signaling to meet some of their demands. although for many it's not quite enough yet. honestly, that's not really the i see in our family how tough it is to keep our business running. and if you don't have additional income, it becomes increasingly difficult to go. if we lose the subsidy, now i really don't know how will make ends me. it's just maybe something you're gonna have to have on the younger generation is afraid. many are asking, will we even get a job later on if the law is implemented as planned? that's why i'm here to protest. i get the percent agriculture subsidies, a common place german farmers receive around $300.00 euros from the u budget per year and tech tar, but diesel subsidy is just a small part of it. and yet every penny counts, say farmers, they fear they won't be able to compete internationally. currently only 3,
3:12 am
you countries have higher taxes on agricultural diesel than germany. but 18 countries have lower taxes driven farmers feel disadvantaged. you have for the t and ones that we produce our product, such as, right, we barley, winter rapes, seed, ad world market levels. there's a world market price. and if we have a production disadvantage due to the lack of diesel reimbursement, we cannot compete any more. last night and then can you really come within see to see and know future without us. that's what the farmer say. they're all around 250000 farms in germany. most of them have participated in their protests over the past few days or israel's defense minister says these countries in tens ministry operations and 7, gaza. ah, nearing an end, the ministry forces and 80 to secure the release of mole hostages is by your glands
3:13 am
. was that's been that will assign the rest bytes on the ground. these rightly ministries release damages of its troops operating in a devastated gaza strip. holding a 100 things into this concept, a global concerned about the civilian debt. so is still growing. how mass run, health ministry and gaza says more than 24000 people have been count. israel continues as ministry campaign diplomats have been discussing various scenarios for the territories future when the conflict is over. but this widespread disagreements, even within israel, about what the day after would look like shuttle diplomacy, us secretary of state antony blinking, just spent a week in the middle east, hustling from capital to capital consulting with israel and other allies. he laid down some ground rules for a postwar scenario. and so these meetings, i was also crystal clear, palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as conditions allow. they
3:14 am
must not be pressed to leave guys. not everyone in the is really government degrees too far. right. ministers have called for renew settlements and gaza and for other countries to absorb palestinian refugees defense minister, you have got a lot put forth his own vision earlier this month. he said no is rarely civilians would be in guys. gone said guys are residential or a palestinian and therefore a palestinian bodies will be in charge with the condition that there will be no hostile actions or threats against the state of israel. he stressed that israel would maintain the overall security control and gaza, that plan has not been backed by other members of the cabinet or by prime minister benjamin netanyahu for them to come up with so much disagreement. what does everyone actually want in postwar? garza is real one security from attacks and says there should be no role for him.
3:15 am
us the us and saudi arabia want the palestinian authority which governs the west bank to also run gaza in the united palestinian government. the saudi say they want to normalize relations with israel, but that depends on the establishment of a palestinian state. the us and saturday proposals face significant obstacles. one is the unpopularity of the p, a among palestinians. it's liter maximum that boss is extremely unpopular. recent pause put him at 11 percent, and her mazda is popularity has grown since the war started. so, you know who has rejected a role for the p a as well. but he's agreed to one key us demand as well as no intentional, permanently occupying gaza, or displacing it civilian population as well as funding come us terrace, not the palestinian population. netanyahu has however repeatedly dismissed the possibility of palestinian statehood. well, let's look at see what your options with simon may button who is professor of
3:16 am
international politics at to england's lancaster university. has a particular expertise in the middle east. welcome back to i. d. w professor. so medium size. uh, what do you think postwar, gaza is likely to look like as well? i think we will be seeing is a very, very long struggle to determine both the political nature of the post war states. but. ready most of the patient states perhaps, but we'll also be dealing with a very, very long term. rebuilding process rebuilding the key institutions, the infrastructure, the, the necessary features of life and gaza. and these will go hand in hand, but they're going to be very, very complicated to go hand in hand and how one addresses one issue will directly affect the other the deep. ready politicized issues, and it's going to be a very,
3:17 am
very fragile items, very tend struggle to try and mitigate the concerns and ameliorate the worries of everyone. so even the day after the bombing stops the next months, possibly even years are still going to be miserable for people living in gaza. so yeah, certainly let's go back to before october, the 7th, for those that was full full incidents. the terrorist attacks and israel, the devastating bombardment life and gaza was incredibly precarious. it was for what it was difficult. it was under an occupation. it was. ready under a blockade, it was very difficult to get the basics things into gaza that people needed for daily life. and right now your package just showed the 85 percent of dozens have been false from that hopes. a lot of those hopes have been demolished, have been destroyed and fighting. and so there's going to be
3:18 am
a very difficult struggle to rebuild schools, homes, hospitals, the basic infrastructure that people need on top of the. ready ready medical issues that, that we've been. ready talking about so let's look at political control, have mass growing in popularity since all this happened, public palestinians in gaza indicated that 90 percent of palestinians a one peasant mahmoud abbas to resign. so the, the u. s. idea of the palestinian or far as you being in charge of of gaza certainly sounds like a non stall to so yeah, i don't think the old dot many who are in favor of my screwed up bus becoming the, the, the coast and drooling does all. ready at least responsible for taking the day to day decisions about life and gaza. these riley certainly benjamin netanyahu was too keen on that idea. and there are many who bought like the dia of the p,
3:19 am
a house to me. and i'll start taking control over life in gaza. books much as we're seeing in the west bank. a boss does not have the popular support that popular mandate. but previously this of the p a of the p l. ready such as yes that alpha had and thought is a big problem if there is a democratic legit deficit or legitimacy deficit dot makes governing about mixed politics incredibly difficult, final event on israel's back place in the middle east. as a result of everything that happened since october, the 7th, it's on tag a nice, it's biggest back of the us. it's upset that countries like saudi arabia in the region who's been looking to normalize relations. and of course, that's a ron's fixing that waiting for the worst to happen. how do you anticipate this conflict of having affected israel's a future position in the middle east? i think what we're seeing is that via that has been an opening up of deep seated
3:20 am
late had fish's deep schisms, but have been data across the middle east. is that the diplomats have been working incredibly hard to address to try and find some sort of resolution to receive that with saturday and around that normalization received with the saudis and the who, the receipts with the israelis and the saudis. we see lots of diplomatic initiatives. ready in on but what's happened with auto but a 7th and this optima is but a lot of those frustrations that i can get those tensions of come to the for once more. now i do think normalization with the saudis will take place. i think there is a lot invested in not as a matter of time, but for now we are in a very precarious position with lots of different. ready ready thoughts, there's a lot of anger, a lot of frustration. i'm not means a lot of combustible elements. thank you from ask professor simon mavin from lancaster university. i thank you. the here's president joe biden has congratulate you,
3:21 am
douglas from all those new president on he's in organization, vice president, combo harris also said she'll be hosting a bernardo auto auto valve in washington in the coming months. i present of all that we have to pay out of office in gloss, amount of $50.00. in the early hours of monday, the ceremony was delayed after last fits attempts by opponents to prevent him from taking office. the president, one is surprised election victory, and the old guest running on an empty corruption ticket. they faced at numerous attempts to prevent him at taking office, including from public prosecutors were trying to over to the election. prison correspondent nicole reese joins us from guatemala, searching a welcome. nicole. so be us a quick to congratulate and revise him to washington. a foreign policy in chief jose at burrell was at the settlement. why does this new president enjoy so much?
3:22 am
international support will follow this support actually went so far that back in december or whether it was when there was yet another intent of who data against at a little us decided to sanctions, the sanction thousands of members of congress. the you, by the way, is at the moment, analyzing the same measures and basically for the us, it is a very important to keep good relations to what the, my, the indian it is a country that is very, very close to them. there's only mexico between that it's a country of proximity. u. s. is trying to avoid a more conflict and more in stability in the region after all, and you've got as well, for example, and as part of a low is seeing that the rising tensions and as rising in security. so for the us, this is sort of the back yard where they want to maintain peace. this is also a country with important routes of drug trafficking, drugs that end up in the u. s. and also
3:23 am
a migration root tens of thousands of what the my, because leave pull the as every year. so there is huge interest inventory and good relationships to add a little who they consider a democratic president. this was the case before with uh, the now for the president on monday. and on the other high side of course, the u. u. n. d u. s. also have an interest to main influence in the region. after all, it could always happen that china takes influence. yeah. and that's what they wants to avoid. right. so water is plans now. he's got the job. he's got the job. now his top plan is obviously tackling corruption, which is running deep here in public institutions overall. this is what the country is considering its biggest crisis people and congressmen and women involved. and these cases might see that as soon they are being banned from office. if id of a little succeeds, this would be some sort of political death for them. then they would not be living
3:24 am
the life that they have now. and then the next point is what he pointed out to me in an interview which i had a few days ago with him is the 1st action that he wants to take is getting the attorney general to resign. because this is a person who actually was part of and it's end of a coup d'etat against that even what you just mentioned. the tried to know the election results. and then what he said, let yesterday in his speech, social justice is one big issue here that cannot be democracy without social justice. that is what's the last thing we're talking about. a huge amount nutrition crisis in children here more than half of like what the monthly cost of living here are living in poverty. so he wants to tackle these issues. but let's be honest. he doesn't have the majority in congress and he needs to grow his potential there. otherwise it will be just an up. we'll struggle like it has been in the past few months for him. we don't know what the magic potion is that he will apply so he can actually succeed. but this huge hopes that he will actually teach a something in the country, of course. okay,
3:25 am
so how important will support from the us and the e u. b, as president, i believe is to implementing those policies. both are crucial for a at even the agenda after o d u and also the us of financing projects here. this goes to the money goes to social projects, but it also goes to slowing down migration in the case of the yes or defense. so you will look at to as partners over the you in the us and make sure that he kind of has selling points. he wants to get his country out of corruption crisis. he wants his country to get back on track, also economically and make sure that people, for example, don't leave the country and then go to the us. so this could be a huge selling point. the actually already visit to the us last year before you took over office and he's scheduled in also for german use unix security conference, which is coming up in a few years weeks. so we might see some deals going over the table there. right
3:26 am
across him all his indigenous community that they play the key role in the street protests in support of the new president. what they hope things are full from him. well, when i talk to a representative of the indigenous community, there's obviously a lot of joy, a lot of expectations, and hope one thing that they hope for is to be included in public institutions. so in governments, we don't see that reflect that as for now in the actual cabinet. but that could be more of the like jobs that they take over take over office and other ends in institutions. once the base is clear, really, this could be something um, the other thing is obviously they have been living in disadvantage for years, if not decades because of the corruption that is running through the country because of the money that was not invested in the regions. and in their children and in their hopes. so this is basically the expectation that they have and that keeping it very high because they have supported audi, bundle all the way long. okay, thank you for that. nicole,
3:27 am
nicole race and gloss amount of 6 the the when the nfl while called the playoff match between the buffalo bills and the pittsburgh steve, this kicks off on monday. it will be sons to the funds have he's known in upstate new york, forced to postpone minutes of the game and brought to the appeal for funds to take the stadium out. even if everybody didn't follow the instructions on how to do that, the data eventually pay off of the game is scheduled to go ahead to and that was the day you can follow a sound social media platforms. ok, d, w, use. the cost is always the w dot com, have a good the
