in force for much of the states. foss. britton's king charles, diagnosed with cancer. buckingham palace, as the monarch will step back from public duties as he undergoes treatments the empire. richardson welcome us, secretary of state antony, blinking his pressing ahead with a diplomatic tour of the middle east. in the hope of securing a ceasefire in garza, lincoln's been meeting with objection, president of the 5 house cc and cairo. america's top diplomat says he's hoping for an enduring and to the war. a proposal is a pause. the fighting would included deal to release hostages captured by him aust, during the october 7th the terror attacks. so despite the talks, israel is still pushing on with its offensive in gaza,
5:02 pm
advancing toward rafa in the south. prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he will continue the war until ha, mazda is destroyed. meanwhile, more than a 1000000 displays, palestinians are sheltering in the area. and blinking his aiming to secure the 1st extended gauze cease fire. i spoke earlier to journalists to carry him out, go harry and cairo, and he outlined the deal that is currently on the table. the way what's that is on the table is what was the goal shape? it's already in harris between the is, where is the americans costa and the directions. it says some kind of temporary ceasefire. and then a face exchange of hostages and princes. and of course the, there's one big sticking point that we don't have yet. and officially the answer from us to this proposal. we know that how much and 6 to be tricky because they had
5:03 pm
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, it is read about 5 minutes to bring any more than y'all is. so saying, he will move on until i have the victory against how much i'm telling how much is destroyed, difficult to see how much is giving up. it's a hostages. the only leverage they have right now as to what is rain and why, why they've been enemies and always announcing that he is out there to destroy the very same people. he's negotiating with right now in direction and cream. meanwhile, israel's defense minister has said that is really offensive will eventually reach raw for that. is that southern, those town and gaza, right on the egyptian border. um, you know,
5:04 pm
we know that more than half of glasses are now displayed and living in miserable conditions packed there in rough. uh, can you tell us a little bit what on his riley assault on rough uh 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 border because here of course of the egyptian 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 policy and also an air of trauma that whenever punished evenings left the areas they were never able to come back. and that's the big fear in egypt. and it's for sure also part of the discussions was blinking, blinking already mentioned several times in the last days that ca, he would be against some permanent displacement of palestinians from the gaza strip
5:05 pm
towards egypt. but that really remains the biggest fee and kind of what thank you so much for bringing us up to speed. there is always that is journalist cream outgo harry in cairo for us. and for more analysis, i spoke to christine a call show the deputy managing director at the german marshall fund, south think tank. i asked her what we haven't seen the us putting more pressure on israel to end the fighting and gaza. the barriers of public pressure. there's, there's pressure behind the scenes on the left side of show as to the sort of taking place. we have reports that sector being that the us government is increasingly frustrated, obviously with benyamin anytime in yahoo, we are an intellect, 3 years of the united states. the united states public opinion, the, the political to the eighty's on both sides of the printer to get spectrum are, are, are very pro, is really, is of
5:06 pm
a is really security is one of the main interest of the united states. and the mother itself is a very difficult situation from us government debated high type of what, what kind of supports to show publicly what kind of pressure to, to, to the public be. i think that we have seen a great, a pressure increasing not necessary from you by pressing leasing over the last few weeks as compared to the immediate, the reactions and stuff up to the tax. but, but again, i think it's mainly due to domestic domestic renaissance. that'd be nice. eagles. and i'm curious if you could tell us a little bit more about about which domestic influences are at play here. cuz it's always interesting when you look at u. s. foreign policy, what is going on at home and how that affects what is happening abroad? why do you think we see such a strong support for israel from both sides of the island the us? well again, well 1st of all, you know, it gets the, the security of israel is a,
5:07 pm
it has a long tradition and us us foreign policy. it is one of the few items where you have buy a bipartisan support. if you compare, for example, the discussions i have been taking place in congress on adopting and aid for ukraine versus support to as well and security gems. you know that these both thing happened to discuss in power. the one when you came are highly controversial, whereas that the, the, the, the one of them is uh, we easy. so that is really a strong press site in general on the, on any us government to take care of. is there any security and make this a high priority? and of course, in a situation like this, where is the top? i'm out of the blue for the 3 government inside simple random fashion. the 1st reaction for any us government has to be to fully throw that weight behind these and the government. and again. so i don't think that happened. so it's an
5:08 pm
intellectual road here. this is this, this pressure gets even worse, and the united states is of course such a powerful partner. for israel, i'm curious whether they're powerful enough to make benjamin netanyahu change his mind or whether there are also other international partners and allies that might have influence on him. um i think it would be a mistake to assume that it's mainly an international allies part of the external who are the ones the parents they're going to turn to type here on the 10. yeah. i think both with the got when it time. yeah. and is government, i've got to them us, we have a situation where they would only agree to a change of the current status quoted benefit someone, if it doesn't mean their own political, the end of the degree is an advocacy sketches found. now right now you've been yeah, was all interest to continue the time situation because all of the current options
5:09 pm
were ending, basically the kinds of the kinds of the kind of the war would most likely resolved in is also in the individual. and for the degree in the same way a mazda has no interest in giving up as the previous speaker mention, has no interest in giving them out. the whole system has no interest in, in, in ending with it. yes, it is now. so the best of us can pressure as much as, as one, if the, if diplomacy doesn't produce an offer or a solution, bad wouldn't instead of advise any of these actors to, uh, to move in right now. clearly we don't have, we don't have that situation where any time you, i would sees that it is in his interest to stop the fighting. and i think that is a process that is the process that, that blinked and is trying to bring forward and all that stuff with diplomacy. concrete. well, thank you so much for your analysis today. that is a christina couch from the german marshall fund to south. we very much appreciate your time to us bring you up to speed with some other world news headlines at this
5:10 pm
hour. a u. s. federal appeals court has ruled that former president, donald trump, does not have an unity from charges that he plotted to overturn his 2020 election defeats. judges rejected from to claim that he cannot be prosecuted. because the allegations relate to his presidential responsibilities, a spokesperson for trump says he will appeal the decision that i did 20 years ago. the united states has said is, is disappointed that hungary is ruling party, blocked a vote on sweden's bed to join nato on gary and prime minister victor, oregon, and his feed us party have been installing stock homestead since 2022 hungry is the only nato country not to ratify, stock comes membership application of a problem. what of that? 6 people including 3 police officers, have been wounded in a shooting outside a court house and it's tumble a man and a woman opened fire at a security check point before being shot dead by police turkey's interior minister
5:11 pm
. so they belonged to a left s militants, group. the was expected to drop a key part of its 2040 proposal for cutting greenhouse gas pollution, which specifically refers to agricultural emission costs. and the move comes of spanish farmers that stage protests across the country using tractors to block roads in some areas. they are joining farmers in germany, france, and other european countries who have held similar protests in recent weeks. farmers angry about rising cost, high levels of bureaucracy and competition from non e u nations. so let's get some perspective on this from my colleague the address christopher from dw environment. joining me here in the studio, welcome back. tell us how much we've really seen the european union backing down here on its emissions targets after these protests by farmers. yeah, i think it's been quite a surprise how the you in announcing it's 242040 climate targets. how light it is
5:12 pm
going on. farmers and an agricultural emissions and so reports say that originally there was supposed to be a 30 percent cut in agricultural pollution, specifically between 20152040 you have reported leave that has just been dropped completely. and that really shows that in some pockets of european society, there's really no appetite at all for, for these admission codes. but the good news is that on the large scale you know, and that you has announced that they will in it. the goal now for 2040 is to cut emissions by 90 percent compared to 1990. and this is something that scientists have really been hoping for for a long time. it's kind of a north star that is supposed to show us where, where we need to be headed. if we want to meet the goal of net 0 emissions by 2050 . okay. so they've analysis, pretty ambitious goal for 2040. i want to look back a little bit and just take stock of their track record. i mean,
5:13 pm
how has the block done on meeting it's existing climate targets? unfortunately, not very well. you know, we have this 2040 goal that has now been announced as an interim target and we have another intern target which is 2030 and up the 5 percent. so a lot less ambitious than the one that we have coming up. and even this less ambitious goal, we're probably not going to meet it. so we're probably gonna be more around 51 percent. and there are several reasons for not meeting it what kind of some of the main topic. so a r, r and focus our agriculture as we just mentioned. you know, that advert cultural sector has barely changed in recent years. but partly because there's also a lot of pushback, a lot of social push back and few incentives for farmers to you know, to, to support nature conservation. instead of, you know, kind of raising down a lot of trees to make space for crops on another topic that's up as heating. we're
5:14 pm
not really and improving their either. and so that really means we need to focus on some solutions like heat pumps, for example, that are more efficient. so i mean, sounds from what you're saying, like you're not terribly optimistic that the use new climate targets will be realistic, then they are feasible. if you is willing to box the walk, i mean there's absolutely no question that isn't a vicious target. and that to me for some dishes target that you need to have a massive overhaul and how we grow our food. how we do business, how like, what our infrastructure looks like. um, of course all these things need to change, but the thing is that they were always going to change to begin with, like the climate crisis, is impacting the way we live on a social level on an economic level. just if you look in europe in the past 2 years filed fires, droughts, heat waves have all become more common and more severe. and so we need to be a step ahead and see how can we change of these things to reduce our emissions and
5:15 pm
to secure a livable future for people in europe, but also abroad, who are, who are kind of ruling with these mass of emissions. but thank you so much for painting the picture for us. that is beatrice christopher from dw environment. i appreciate your time and on that note storms have lashed california with car rental rain that has brought severe flooding and land slides fall increase of killed 3 people in the north of the states. the hundreds of thousands are without power and extreme weather. warnings are enforced. a record breaking rain full has sent mud tearing down hillsides. los angeles, the national weather service says that some of the west as to whether the california has seen nearly a 150 years. residents of the 2nd most populated area in the us of facing rhode swamped with water. it's the 2nd time within a matter of days,
5:16 pm
the atmosphere river has brought huge amounts of moisture. northwood from the woman, latitudes, to the state. officials say so much. rain has full and so quickly the ground simply can't take any more in with the swell being so saturated. obviously 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, in the soil. some residents have been false from that homes by the tolerance of mazda. we've 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 is running water outside of the house and a sort steeping through the doors. and so they start, they start boarding at 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 and incumbents in particularly flood prone areas. rescue work as that helps bring some to safety.
5:17 pm
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 unlined slides to come. jason camperdown, he has the nbc news radio bureau chief in los angeles. he gave us an update on the situation there. and 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's bad rock and that's in that soil. just falls right off of the mountain side. so everybody's kind of breezing 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
5:18 pm
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 bracing 4 more months slides, board, debris flows and, and the fear is that we're going to see what happened in minus ito, several years ago. where there was a massive mudslide and it wiped out after 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,
5:19 pm
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 a break. and the help is being provided right now is, you know, we have some uh, areas in under evacuation orders. theres uh, evacuation centers that are, are being open. but there's really not much that we can do. you know, when water flows, water is going to flow and it's going to find a way to get to the lower lying areas, whether you liked it or not. so there's really not much we can do. people are being asked to send back 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
