5:04 pm
a lock shows and he's advise the advise, there is still only always very, very fast to to say, well, it's not about being are pointing. it's just about raising the awareness that the european union and its members states needs to do more and are not doing enough. but of course, we know that germany had of slow started and was criticized for not providing ukraine with weapons that it's needed. now there are the 2nd largest provider of military equipments to key if and at the same time all the lodge to europe and nations, such as friends are being criticized. not do it for not doing enough. so there is a certain purpose and what all of shots shows was a saying here, and of course, that is also to show the world. and 1st and foremost, the us that you are understands that they need to step up their efforts in
5:05 pm
supporting ukraine to continue their fight against the russian forces. i do want to talk about the message that percent of the us particularly in does me. i want to take a step back and talk about this a package that was boss, despite victim old bond initial position to it. did germany have a special role to play and convincing the hon, getting prime minister to go along with the you? well, from what we understand germany deep play did play a special role here. we know that the german chancellor are met with their hunger in prime. and instead this morning, together with the leaders from friends and utility and according to diplomatic sources that we've been speaking with, it was germany's part stands here that probably made the difference in the end. but of course, this was the message conveyed to victor alba. and by, oh, that's 6, it's $26.00 member states that they are all standing united determined to move
5:06 pm
ahead with the aid package for ukraine, regardless of whether the hungry will be on boards or no, it's and in the and probably that was why victor over understood that he would be sending isolated on the state if stage, should he not give in and sign off on the package for ukraine or staying with the jobs that will of charles in his a press conference. he topped off at gold. go to message to the us. what is the method she was sending to the us? well, he made it clear that he's hoping that this commitment by the europeans to agree on this huge financial aid for ukraine. 50000000000 years in the next 4 years will help you asked presidents joe biden, who has problems convincing
5:07 pm
u. s. congress into the end, and specifically their republicans, that it is that they support and still needed that father age for ukraine should be agreed upon. and the thinking behind that is that many republicans say what, why should we support ukraine, the country like europe? why cannot the europeans morris and share to you opinions are showing we are stepping up our efforts. we are doing more. we are committed to continuing with our support, so that to joe biden would have a good argument to say, look at them doing what they can we needs to do. it's to and hopefully that message is received. thanks so much for joining us today in need of those brussels. we're to take advantage of a naaman in brussels. thank you. so why progress was being made inside the european union headquarters in brussels. outside things came to a standstill for testing farmers blocked the streets with the tractors and through
5:08 pm
fire crackers, pigs, and buckles that police. they were demanding more help with the rising prices and bureaucracy. the you spends tens of billions of yard rolls on agricultural subsidies, but most go to the biggest produces farmers out in force in brussel. these located parts of the belgian capital demand more help with valuing costs associated use. assume that you're trying to make people aware of the conditions for pharmacy to read on. so advice from people quick go hungry so far. so if i would put some police assembled near the headquarters where fires blazed as the farmers gathered, we are right in the middle of the european union. the ports are in process and these slaves that you see here, just an expression of some of the anger on the streets. and of course, not only anger filling the square, but also tractors, traffic in the area,
5:09 pm
grabbing to a home with more than a 1000, tractors, going nowhere, agricultural subsidies, all. where do you make up a significant slice of the budget? and the book is trying to make good on climate promises. but these farmers incest, they're getting a real deal with too much red tape. making us follow move on to some of the defects under the we have people who work with the us with nature, the people who manage this specific tasks. unfortunately, they probably know nothing about the nature of it on this, but it my best to accept that through mother was more in response to your applied protests. the you have move to temporarily, relax some green farming rules and limits cheaper imports from ukraine to the full not found this. those are old sites. we see you and we hear you. and if you voice, if you want your voice to be hubs make it had also in june when you vote for the european parliament elections about this effort to cool tensions,
5:10 pm

5:12 pm
also on the other side of the border. i'm very glad i want to dislike. i don't know. well, i've never had such feelings. this is our land and home life. this is very good. this is the 5th teeth reason exchange between russia and ukraine. since most, oh, it's full scale invasion. well, it follows the deadly crush for russian military transport plane last week. that according to moscow, was carrying ukrainian present as a full for him. now the plans exchange, russia blames ukraine for the attack. something keep neither consumes, no denies some fee if the incident could jeopardize the prison exchanges. but both russia and ukraine seem determined to continue. will it stop the exchanges? we weren't stopped the exchanges. we have to get our guys back and i'm say 3
5:13 pm
bathrooms a. but when you propose, we haven't forgotten about anyone. we are looking for each. so our name, i am russia and ukraine every 10, thousands of prisoners since the start of the war being the slightest exchange gifts, hopes the money to wait and to come home. all thought of these in northeastern spain have declared a drought emergency for the city of boston, luna, and the surrounding area. catalonia is suffering, its bus drought on record some 6000000 people are facing tight. water restrictions as a 3 year drive period shows no signs of ending this after being submerged for more than 60 years. this medieval church reappeared. it is now a symbol of 3 years of drought. that's how sparks catalonia, the lack of rain has got reservoirs through regular little levels. the drought, these every then across the region. the ski resorts opened this window or how fleet
5:14 pm
those know on the slopes. so here we create a very critical situation. we could be very critical because if there is no snow but do if it doesn't rain and there is no stall, the reservoirs instead of growing, getting smaller and smaller, go so under we'll see a complaint to reduce what are we started months ago. the government explain how critical the situation has to become the, the president. it measures triggered when what the reserves dropped below the 16 percent threshold. the new measures will affect citizens and businesses swimming pools, including dose use by hotels and come grounds cannot be repealed. the only support center scan for 3 of them if they reduce their total amount of what their consumption many have already prepared for their restrictions
5:15 pm
such as the shot to are in the fresh press. the duration of the show stuff, all the reach us, the showers, the set time as possible in a few towns where the defendant and wells steps have been shut off for some bones. a father of 3 explains the headaches in board was not on the market or the washing clothes. i was looking on a weekend to watch to choose and we've kind of close on the road, but i'm not even going to stay in washing machine. you can't do the p because there's no water in white. rain clouds don't show up what the restrictions we keep getting tighter. when many fewer things we get even worse the summer. from all i'm doing 9 in the studio, but i did the report a loud we used to be able to find that report for us. ended up just kind of in the car. is one of the ways, osborne, welcome to both of you, laura, just to you fast. you saw that to pull the do just find it. it's pretty stock. i
5:16 pm
mean, how bad are things in terms of water restrictions that people are facing? so there's been lead filling rain for the past months, and the restrictions were in the air for some time. and we only knew that the it would be coming. there are some towns that already experienced severe restrictions as we just saw. but now the area affect, it includes more than $6000000.00 people, so it's a lot the people that will be affected. so just to give you an expert, an example of how bad things are and how they tried to alert the population. when i went to barcelona last christmas, and the 1st thing i saw there for was a big billboard telling you, and we'll come to get alone. yeah. we have us, if you drought here, be aware of the weather consumption you are bleeding during your stay. so now the government has decided following the advice of experts to put the for the 1st space
5:17 pm
of emergency plans. and this includes a series of measures and now citizens will be allowed to access 200 liters. birthday is more than the average consumption, but will affect shops on small businesses to and other measures will vari across sectors. the words affected is agriculture because copy legation waive your produced by 80 percent life smoke. i think it is. we have a 50 percent cock industries, a $25.00 for reduction, and then recreational facilities, so just amusement on what their parts of $25.00 cuts, 2 methods as either pretty stringent measures. the one though people uh, wouldn't be able to pull it up with that. and that's something we'll discuss with you further, but at least a you were talking about 3 years of penny. any rain, why it's such a long, dry spell. i mean, is this increasing problem of global warming? temperatures of rising, as we know and heat waves are getting longer and hossa, this means that any water that is there any way in the ground is being absorbed
5:18 pm
into the atmosphere. and then there are some regions like the mediterranean, where that rain is simply just not fooling this is making droughts that might have happened anyway was, and it's leading to of them being more frequent as well. and this is something that we are going to see happening, scientists say even more. so the impacts that the people of feeling are likely to keep coming to not a very good for noticing that. i mean, laura, how long will residents be prepared to accept water restrictions, especially if this situation wesson's as has no reason saying that is a very like is a situation and scenario. it's difficult for me to tell you how much patient citizens we have today. the government was asking for a collective effort that they were thinking for the effort that has uh, already been made and for seem that more and we come there subsidies in place. and some people and some businesses have already taking some extra measures. for
5:19 pm
example, hotels that have changed and they what are under poos to salty water. then for example, some fibers are stopping producing 2nd fruits that require a lot of water like to meet those or what our minimum. but once you see that you cannot turn on your top, or you go to your sports facility, and you cannot take a shower, i think that thinks going to be get a bit more tens then it's pretty disconcerting, isn't it? i mean, ultimately there is, we're talking about the need for fresh water, all the technical solutions that literally generate fresh water. there are technologies that are being used in pennsylvania and beyond the southern nation. ponce, for example. so they literally take the, sold out to sea water and make it so that you'd be able to use it for drinking water or for agriculture and etc. the problem with these technologies is that the very energy intensive,
5:20 pm
which obviously lessons the problem because they are then pumping out carbon dioxide, which makes global warming worse. and they are very expensive. but there are other technologies that are in development. artificial intelligence, for example, is being used by farmers and beyond to be able to judge how much water is needed. so that will some management can be done more effectively. and the water can be really used uh, used where it's need, where you left me for the time being. the thanks for providing all of this context the neural osborne, luis, all the channels i've heard from to the environment a lot. i really is drills, thanks so much for coming into the studio for that and we have some uh, breaking news coming in the us has approved plans to strike targets in iraq and city. yeah. in the time of years for the drone attack and jordan lipkin, 3 us soldiers, that's according to american broadcast to cbs, which cited us officials,
5:21 pm
washington has blamed sundays attack on either on back to minute and several groups have ramp top of the dikes on us basis. since the start of the war in gaza, they bring you more on this story when we have it going on to germany now where april took out the stuff out on strike, forcing airlines to cancel or delay over a 1000 flights major airports, including berlin and frankfort, on affected the workers' union. verde has gold 20 full aust strike to press the demands for better pay and benefits around 200000 passengers all facing disruption . a lot of the jobs and berlin's international airport. 6 security staff joining strike action at major airports nationwide. their union is demanding a pay rise and over time bonuses to walk out follows rounds of field negotiations.
5:22 pm
i feel like the employers are not prepared to so the whole that inflation has created and employees small. it's not a lot of the people who are at the airport today or employees themselves, so they know how important it is to have regular pay rises because otherwise live is just no longer affordable, leaving nothing on see about it. hundreds of services had been cancelled with security checkpoints closed. travelers can't get through to board flights while i'm stuck here in a day. so i'm kind of said, i wanna go home. i mean it's are right, but that's extra me. i'm private companies who employ the security staff have so far rejected their demands as too expensive. more negotiations are scheduled for travel plans could once again be grounded as the 2 sides failed to reach a deal. and the depth is christie flood zone is
5:23 pm
a germany's busiest airport in frank fat. she gave us an impression of how the strike is affecting our travel to ride well this morning on, i'm standing in one of the major departure halls here and this morning on the sign you can see behind me we saw just dozens and dozens of canceled flights. but as you can see now, they've just cleared the board completely to give you some idea of how things are going here at frankfurt today. most of the departures have been canceled lift times by which is determined by band carrier, had encouraged people to stay home today wants very announced the strikes, then you will not get on your flight because the security personnel are not there to check passengers to check luggage people cannot get on their flights. still, many people did show up anyways, and they're queued up in mind hoping to be re booked for tomorrow. so you said most of boxes have been can so does these uh, cancellations also affect the arrivals. so as
5:24 pm
of the last information i had arrivals here at frankfurt, um are still expected. um also if you are doing a transfer flight, uh there is an expectation that you could make a transfer flight though. uh the airports were encouraging people to expect delays there. um though we've also heard that some other airports here in germany, um uh, even arrival flights. uh what you're asking about had been cancelled. and this is because the airlines actually didn't see a purpose and letting the plane arrive, if it can't be re filled with passengers. so it was making more sense to them to just cancel the flight completely. so some arrivals were indeed effective. so christie, why exactly? all security workers tracking right, well they're basically asking for higher hourly pay and for a better bonus system. so now they were given an offer which they have rejected
5:25 pm
saying that it just doesn't reflect the reality of the cost of living. but many of these were 1st, are dealing with we saw a major group of chargers going through the hall area today, bagging on a drum. one of them told me, i said, i'm on government assistance. they're saying that they're super crucial to the airline industry. and they're demanding better pay to reflect what they see as being but difficult and crucial work that they contribute and negotiations are set to continue on this next week or leave a back. christy platform at franklin airport. thanks so much. the bosses of america stop social media companies have faced tough questioning by lawmakers in washington dc. the acute source of media giants like to take talk x discords, snap and meta for of not doing enough to protect children. methyl chief markets took aback who controls facebook and instagram gave
