3:04 pm
what's it is on the table is what was the go sheet is already in paris between the is written is the americans kata. and the introductions, it says some kind of temporary ceasefire. and then a face exchange of hostages and princes. of course the, there's one big sticking point that we don't have yet an official answer from us to this proposal. we know that how much and 6 to be tricky because they have the money is an end of the wall and then the exchange of prisoners. so, and they want some kind of guarantee that there is not a temporary cease fire, but there is the fire, the end of the war, and then the exchange of prisoners. that is the main sticking point of as you go to your, in your reports. is there any by pregnant and stuff in any way that y'all is so saying he will move on until i have the victory against how much i'm telling how
3:05 pm
much is destroyed, difficult to see how much is giving up. it's a cost of just the only leverage they have right now as to what is rain and why, why they've been any means and always announcing that he is out there to destroy the very same people. he's negotiating with right now in directory and cream. meanwhile, israel's defense minister has said that uh the is really offensive will eventually reach ross or that is that southern most town in gaza right on the egyptian border . um, you know, we know that more than half of glasses are now displays and living in miserable conditions, packs there in rough. uh, can you tell us a little bit what an is really assault on rafa would mean for its neighbor egypt. what it is you already mentioned is a very disparate situation in the, in the all 5 people, are there a 1000000 people there? escape from other areas in the gaza strip was basically that back to the egyptian
3:06 pm
border because here of course of egypt, the side is that there will be some kind of displacement scheme. a bigger displacement scheme of the policy is coming over to the egyptian side. that is a punt of students and also an error of trauma that whenever punish stevens left the areas they wouldn't have are able to come back. and that's the big fear in egypt that it's for sure. also part of the discussions was blinking, blinking already mentioned several times in the last days that the he would be against some permanent displacement of palestinians from the gaza strip towards you . but that really remains the biggest fee and kind of well, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed. there is always that is journalist kareem outgo hurry in cairo for us and we can bring you up to speed. now with some other world news headlines, 6 people including 3 police officers, have been wounded in a shooting outside of the court house and it's tumble a man and a woman opened fire to security check point before being shot dead by police

3:09 pm
swell being so saturated. obviously if it gets to a point where you just cannot absorb it anymore, and that's when it starts to uh, to move. and then we have that shift in the uh, in the soil. some residents have been falls from that homes by the torrents of monday. were heard, it was raining, but we didn't know there was anything like that. we looked outside and there's a foot and a half of running water outside of the house. um and it sort steeping through the doors. and so they start, they start boarding up the doors and i'm like running equipment upstairs because we have studios downstairs and like we're trying to save things. the areas homeless community has been hit hard by the storm with many living in continents, and particularly flood prone areas. rescue workers have helped bring some to safety . while the heaviest rain has no pulse authorities urging people to remain cautious in the l. a area saying there was still a risk of yet more flooding on line slides to come. i spoke earlier to jason
3:10 pm
confidant as nbc news radio bureau chief in los angeles. and he gave us an update on the situation there. and uh right now it's not fantastic. i can tell you that experts are saying that the ground is saturated right now, and that's the tipping point. so the water seats into the soil, it hits bad rock and then after that soil just falls right off of the mountain side . so everybody's kind of bracing for the worst at the moment. uh, the rain continues to fall here in southern california and it's expected default throughout the rest of today. and we'll finally start to break up later this afternoon. late this evening and into tomorrow. we should see showers on and off tomorrow, but that's not helping the situation right now. we really need the sun to come out and start drying up some of these hill sides because everybody is just kind of
3:11 pm
bracing 4 more months slides, board, debris flows and, and the fear is that we're going to see what happened in mont. i see those several years ago where there was a massive mudslide and it wiped out half of the town. um and that was devastating, lot of damage and things like that. so everybody's just kind of on pins and needles . right now you're in southern california. okay. well, we'll be crossing our fingers for sunshine for you. i'm curious how this is directly affecting people there. and if you can tell us what kind of health is available for those who, who are facing hardship because of this extreme, whether so in southern california, everybody lives in their car. right? because of our commute, our commutes are extremely long. it's about 45 minutes on average, and those are just about doubled the past 24 hours. so you're taking about an hour and a half to get to work. it's very difficult to get your kids to school. it's very difficult to go outside and do anything because the roads are flooded, all of the storm drains are basically fall and it's they, they need
3:12 pm
a break and the help is being provided right now. as you know, we have some uh, areas in under evaluation orders. theres uh, you evacuation centers that are, are being open, but there's really not much that we can do. uh, you know, when water flows, water is gonna flow and it's gonna find a way to get to the lower line areas, whether you liked it or not. so there's really not much we can do. people are being asked to sandbag their homes, make sure that, you know, try to keep the water out of their homes as much as possible. but again, that's almost uh, that's almost near impossible when it's been this about drain. i want to thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. that is jason capital at nbc news radio bureau chief in los angeles. we really appreciate your time. thanks so much for your opinion is aiming for a 90 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 compared with 50 years earlier
3:13 pm
. the goal is part of the blocks commitment to achieving net 0 emissions by 2050. at the hit, the target you countries will need to draw heavily on renewable energy, but solar power suppliers are facing stiff competition from china. groupon, tony, because used to work as a baker. after intensive training, he switched and now install solar panels. the money is good and there are always orders to go to void and people want renewable energy because electricity prices are skyrocketing. they want renewable energy is and solar. that's a booming business. you shift the never before have so many solar panels been installed in germany as last year. around 12 percent of the countries electricity needs are met by the sun. and yes, europe solar industry struggling china states subsidize companies supply more than
3:14 pm
80 percent of the world solar panels and low prices. european firms are having a hard time competing at 7 in the subsidies unofficially distort the market. this means that the investments cannot be implemented as economically by us. swift solar for maya boerger is considering closing its production site in germany and use solar cell production plant is under construction and the united states with government subsidies of 30 percent. it's a blow for europe. energy prices has been high after the war and ukraine forced to move away from cheap russian oil. europe's leaders are calling for more energy independence. experts worry that without a robust domestic solar industry, europe could rely too heavily on solar panels from china to helped meet it's carbon reduction target. we need to have to take not to take the logic of super rainy t. so we need to know how to build p maggio. it's and it's seems
3:15 pm
easy for some people not involved in that fish and all that she had to build up. such an environment takes sweet 4 or 56 years maybe. and this, you start from the scratch, nothing is available without tax money from the you or berlin. the solar industry in europe faces an uncertain future as to do plants to reduce the blocks reliance on fossil fuels. so we heard a little bit there about the role of a solar and all of this, but i'd like to speak more about this e u climate target with beatrice and christopher from dw environments. thanks for joining us in the studio today. so we are expecting the european commission to recommend a 90 percent reduction in that greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. and are you surprised that this is such a high percentage coming up so soon? it's definitely a huge jump from kind of the interim target that we have right now because of the
3:16 pm
target we have right now is that in 2030, we're aiming for a kind of 55 percent compared to 1990. and suddenly we go from 2030 to 2040 and we go from 55 to 90. mm. it's definitely very aggressive. but also what scientists who have been monitoring those for years and years have been things that it's absolutely necessary that you as one of the top 4 emitters in the world. also, historically speaking, european countries are kind of the ones who burned the most fossil fuels and really were the main drivers behind the climate crisis. so it's absolutely part of the responsibility also to cut some of those emissions out only for the sake of the use livable future, but also for other countries. and so, implementing and so are the main target of course, is that by 2050 that you wants to have net 0 emissions. and to have this really aggressive target in 2040 is a great kind of north star to see where should we be right now? how fast do we need to be moving?
3:17 pm
and it's also a pretty good reminder that probably we need to be picking up the pace. yeah, you mentioned those historical responsibilities as well. and i'm curious if we can just look back for a moment on how well the block has been meeting existing targets so far. how would you rate it? um, we're actually falling short of the target. we have set for 2030 for us. we kind of need to wait, but from the preliminary, you know, analysis of how, how well we're doing. we're not probably not going to meet the 55 percent target. we're probably going to be more around 51 percent. so that's also why the so he's, you know, interim goal this important because it reminds us, if we're not even meeting the site much less the rest of the target, we really need to pick up the pace to meet the 2040 target. and so the main areas that we need to improve on our agriculture, heating, road transport and energy efficiency. these were kind of the ones that we were really flagging in the past few years. okay, so it's a little bit of a wake up call in that sense as well. i'm curious what roadblocks you is facing in implementing some of these changes that need to happen. so what we are probably
3:18 pm
going to see in the plan for the, for the next, you know, 15 years of to continue what we're doing, the really double down on what we saw earlier. you know, renewable energy is providing some financial incentives for industries to move away from fossil fuels. one big problem is, as we saw the competition from, from outside of the you, there's some questions around what are the best technologies. but i think the one thing we really need to be paying attention to is also the social factor, like, are these measures accepted by society? you know, we've been seeing massive protests by farmers all across europe, germany, france, belgium, and the one you know, they feel forgotten by urban eats. and another issue they have is that nature conservation, for example, is going to cut into their profits. so really, really need to be thinking, if our agriculture is one of the main things we need to be tackling, how do we provide financial incentives for farmers to be on board to reduce emissions in the sector? yes. do you think the site will push back there?
3:19 pm
of course many voices calling for more urgent action as well. uh, you know, our, our, these new e u climate targets realistic. given all that we've just talked about, they are feasible. if you is willing to walk the walk, you know, of course, this is going to require a mass of overhaul and how we know how we, how that you does business, how it grows food, how it builds its infrastructure. but ultimately, all of these areas i just mentioned they're gonna change regardless. the climate crisis is a, a economic and a social problem. also, we're already seeing that in the past few years. wildfires, droughts, heat, waves have become more and more common every year in europe. and they're already impacting how we do all of those things. so it's better to have. it's not only better, it's absolutely necessary to have aggressive targets and a clear path forward and to preserve a livable future as we,
3:20 pm
as we see how we can tackle these things to earlier intervention for an easier or even just possible time down the road. beatrice, thank you so much for joining me here at beatrice crystal from dw environments. thank you. and we can turn now to some other world news headlines at this hour. well, makers and hungry have boycotted an emergency for elementary session blocking a vote on sweden joining nato, prime minister, victor, oregon, and his a feed us party have been stalling stock homestead to join the alliance since 2022 hungry is now the only natal member not to have approve sweden's a session in brazil, realtors and narrow has declared a public health emergency over an outbreak of dang, a fever. the city has registered more than $10000.00 cases since the start of the year. and the party goers are pouring in for the annual carnival celebrations at the same time a canyon cult leaders facing new charges of murdering
