we have the goal. now we present the roadmap to how we can get them. what there's roadmap, process chief alexander phenomena is under just talk us through the major points of this proposed package. well, i think it's really important to stress that this packet package as a landmark plan at that by preventing that european commission is showing that europe is ready to transform. we corner of its economy from how people heater home to ward cars. they will drive just to give you a few examples of how significant changes could be the european commission is saying that old body sectors, cars has to be electric by 2035. this is of course important for the carmakers and for us consumers. and they are saying that there will be and use energy tax on kerosene. and that of course, could make flying more expensive and all the measures, like for example,

at carbon border attacks, a levy that will be imposed on product imports from outside of the european union that has have been produced with loser environmental standards. this is also very significant and it's aimed at protecting european companies. so this is a very, very complicated package, but just those examples i think are showing how far reaching it could be. well, some new member states, though worried by these very proposals, what reasons do they give for opposing this legislation and who is opposing it? as you know, there are different states members in the european union with different levels of wealth and they rely on different energy sources. and the more the poor nations are saying it's going to be very expensive. it's going to cost too much and we won't have enough money to invest in clean energy. they're also afraid that their

citizens are going to take to the stress because we get streets because we can expect energy prices to go up. but the european commission is saying we have a social facility included in this package. we are ready to spend billions of euros to help those struggling with energy prices. but of course, we also have to say it's important to keep in mind that this event today has just kicked off a very long and complicated negotiating process that can take years of phenomena didn't. first, she's in brussel. thank wildfires ravishing parts of the western united states forcing hundreds to leave their homes. the blazes have been made worse by record heat wave that has killed more than 50 people in the state of oregon alone. many scientists up onto the finger at global warming, which is said to be fueling, the drought that is turned large part of the us into

a tinderbox. the oregon is the largest of nearly 60 active wildfire, currently burning across the western united states. the extent of the blaze can be seen best from above. it now covers an area larger than that of new york city, forcing residence in its path to evacuate their homes. this is my 1st wildfire, and i will tell you a scary. it's not to make you cry age enough to make your stomach because you don't know if you're going to be the one that users are house. or you sit there and watch your neighbor lose their house and there's nothing you can do about it. many have had to take refuge and shelters like this. while the fires have been found, one extreme heat wave, with temperatures reaching 47 degrees celsius, the heat alone has proven deadly. at least 54 people have died from hot

weather in oregon alone. over the last few weeks, the age range is from $48.00 to $97.00 with an average age of 70. so that affirms what we know, which is that holder older individuals are at higher risk of heat related illness. the majority of them died alone. and without air conditioning, scientists offer little consolation. they see a direct link between climate change and heat waves that are fueling. these extreme fires. fairs of the food and fuel shortages are growing in south africa as looting and violent rages for 6 day authorities say hospitals are running out of oxygen, drugs, and food as writing disrupt supply chains. more than 70 people have been killed in some of the worst violence the country has seen in years following. the jailing of former president jacob's duma. this warehouse in durban was ransacked by

hundreds of people. the shelves empty. the goods carried out in bulk. it is only one of dozens of moles supermarkets and small shops that were targeted by looters, like this party supplies, shop and so widow over the over and over his own bank money. i'm going to pay this with what in some instances arms local residents went after the looters themselves, the governments and soldiers the most affected areas. as police struggled to control the young rest, the cut over his ration on the ground is under strong serv. events, and we will ensure that it does not deter it any further that cannot allow

anyone to make a mockery of our democratic state. the protest started last week after former south african president, jacob zoom, began serving a 15 month jail term. he was sentenced for contempt of court after refusing to appear at a corruption inquiry. the outrage of zoom of supporters was compounded by anger over persisting inequality and poverty in the country. of a more on their story. let's cross over to the w, correspond, christine moon was standing by and cape town for 15. what's the current situation across the country? well, get hard in the to fix that provinces in halting and inquisitive natal looting continues overnight. more buildings with satellites, people waking up to billowing smoke from a number of sites. we know that more than 1200 people has been arrested. it is

also been reported that in a location in johannesburg that is in helping a body was discovered inside a shopping mall with the looting had been taking place. because we understand that there have been some stampedes as people the crowd. second, losing forties are being discovered as the police and the official scour through some of the sites. they're also concerns now about racial tensions flaring up in this country. that is because in the absence of law enforcement, you now have the civilians, arm to civilians at guarding and defending their own property, taking the law innocence into their own hands. and of course, there are concerns about the breakout of century between the black and white communities, black in indian communities, in these 2 provinces. we also know that in a number of vaccine sites, i've had to be shattered. so the vaccine rollout has been effected, but also we're learning that there are probably going to be food shortages that

coming up in the country across the country. now, in the coming days because of the disruptions that to the supply chains in these 2 provinces, gearhart, well, these people actually lose small shops. they can't all just be zoom. i support us, there must be something else behind it. that's right. when this outbreak was 1st broke out, it was clear that you know, soon as the borders were saying, we're going to shut down the country until the president is freed. by now you have thousands of people in these 2 provinces, looting shops, taking basic items. a lot of these people are very much and a privileged south africans who have been pushed further into poverty because of the pandemic and the restrictions that have followed. but there is that the suspicion here that at the 3rd rules, as it is being cold yet, is at play, that these poor masses are being mobilized at that they are being instigated and propped by certain individuals. now we know that the states as security minutes to

say that they are investigating for my intelligence officials that are linked to jacob zoom and that might be stoking this at the people. so we know that we have a lot of unemployment and inequality in this country. a lot of people just taking the opportunity to get something for themselves, but you also find that among the people with more sinister motives, people who are doing the burning, the destruction. because this is what people on this macapp promised. so you've heard officials warned against people who are mobilizing the poor and taking advantage of these masses that have proven so easily to be mobilized. did this christine manuel, reporting from cape town there? thank you, christie. let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. pro democracy protests and men have held a brief flash mob demonstration against the military regime about 50 protesters in the ongoing shaun's it onto the military. so guns and showed a 3 finger protested. sophomore, have replaced the math demonstration,

seen earlier in the yeah, the military's brutal crack down at least 13 people have been killed in a blast on a bus and a remote region of northern pakistan into palestine and soldiers and chinese nationals. several people have also been injured. it's not yet clear whether the goes occurred inside or outside the boss, which was carrying work as to a construction in paris, some $10000.00 spectators were allowed to watch the annual military grades to mark frances bus. the day president and home presided over the mistakenly scale down national day celebrations on the shelves. it is heavy, rain and strong winds are causing flooding across parts of western and central europe. one man is missing the german state of saxony and disaster alert has been issued in the hall county near the border with a check with public metrology effect, a more heavy rain and thunder storms in the coming days. in europe,

most countries on track to reach their goal of getting around 70 percent of that population vaccinated against over 19 by the end of the summer. but bulgarian is nowhere near that target. it has the lowest vaccination rates in the block, just 16 percent of citizens have received one job so far. the w corresponded bubble of israel went to find out why people are not exactly flocking to the explanation center in sophia's jewish by district. today, only a trickle of locals are coming in to get the jap booked or would you order more people come they have here we are overall public opinion about the nation has been very skeptical. but over time, let's changing the probably need dr. tania is doing his best vaccinating it's speed, handling up to 15 patients for our but he works alone and getting the job into all arms in this district is going to take time. in spring bulgaria didn't have enough vixen, but now people us for, for choice. johnson, johnson, johnson and john,

which is one dose, you get the certificate right away as far as any go and an r n a which is mcdonough and pfizer, up to normal. they're not e 5. this year. over the no, i can go to greece to the c side, but this happy patient is in the minority at the nearby market. locals are of a different mind backs and skepticism balance. though we don't want to get vaccinated. i'm not afraid, but i'm not doing it just helps of me. i'm very skeptical about these things. they've been developed to come from abroad, so i'm not sure they're good. then this is not afraid of the corona virus and i'm not going to get vaccinated. google civil can get on the government officials already fear and next wave of infections and doctor on you couldn't shift from bulgaria, ministry of health. is it a loss to explain the uptake to examine such choices based on emotions are not

based on rational thinking. in the lab was often rabo who up to the our talk will show on know, in europe is so much room given to anti vaccine opinions. also from doctors, unfortunately it's not rational. i can really cannot explain for myself why did cap and it's crazy, but media expert or how did sir cobra chevy? things she knew the reason there was the direct link between the leading duty probation period, curious about coding and low levels of trust in national government. and she also believes that the last government is at fault avoiding a political decision, not giving clear messages to citizens. we had to medical council saying to contradicting things about it and about measures. and then of course this, the internet, a lot of disinformation coming from russia. we have

a mean staying up the 2 world wars. now we have a 3rd world war, which is fault not gone, but with vaccines. gutierrez government is now planning a big p r campaign in order to from those racks, nations. but given public opinion, w, it seems an uphill battle to, to beg, in terms of the anglo america will meet president joe biden, to morrow in washington. the ball will be final visits to the u. s. as john and chancellor biden is the 4th us leader that michael has worked alongside in her 16 years as a leader of germany, her 1st george w. bush said he admired her love freedom. they bond it over, grilled, born and visits to bush ranch and texas. then came back obama. a grew close over his 8 years in office though they didn't agree on everything. they share common

views on issues like climate change, human rights and security. then came michael's toughest test. donald trump's erotic and pugnacious star. contrasted with mac of quietly spoken approach, they clashed publicly and privately throughout his term. does acco prepared to meet her for who has lead up the w. washington bureau chief in his port sat down with former president george w bush to get his view of her legacy bush read it gives interviews anymore. but invited d w 2 in summer home in maine to discuss michael's key moments. he also said that withdrawal of us and allied forces from afghanistan recently after a war started under his leadership, is a mistake. if you would write the history books, what would be your paragraph about america on merkel brought clash and dignity to a very important position. and made very hard decisions. i bet

a legacy about merkle was, there is a lot of girls watch on the la merkle say, i too can have a position of responsibility and power from la metro's relationship with letting me put it is somewhat special. sometimes it's really close, sometimes it's more confrontational. how do you see her relationship, or how did you see it when you were in office? well, 1st of all, i fully understood the importance of russia to germany. i mean, food got big influence and he speaks german and, and i one, you know, he's wiley and it can be pretty tough and so can ongoing. so i wasn't worried about putting, running over at merkle like she, she, you know, her own. and from sure she did, talking about difficult relation relationships, what triggered medical in donald trump and cause the house we actually he once refused shaking her head. i don't know. i don't know if that was just a, not

a good period in german or us relations and i don't know. i don't, i don't know, donald trump, maybe one time at the very same funeral then i feel a miracle game too. and so it's hard for me to guess why am germany is a very close ally and a very important friend, germany really important for europe and, and germany got a lot of way in terms of helping shape kind of world opinion on key issues. and therefore, it makes sense for us present to be close to the german chancellor. some people criticize her over her politics with china, saying that like the trade with, with this country is more important for her than human rights. i don't know, i am father that closely, but that's going to be a dilemma for everybody. and in china's certainly a problem for the western world, because not only are they becoming an industrial competitor,

but they are pretty autocratic. what's your take on her reaction when she didn't close the borders and led in like a 1000000 or so? yeah. you know, my 1st reaction was there's a one with a big heart, and i'm sure she was motivated by human compassion. and it, it was i, it was clearly a tough political decision for her. but she took a lead, like i made a lot of tough decisions too. and i hope when people look at my record as president, they say he did what he thought was right and stood to ground. and so i admire. i admire her steadfastness. and uncle is not afraid to make a decision was not afraid to lead. and the world needs leadership that has based upon principal, she was supportive of troops in afghanistan by the way. and one of the reasons why

is because she saw the progress that can be made for young girls and women in afghan to stand as a believable how that society changed from the brutality of the taliban. and all of a sudden sadly, i'm afraid afghan women and girls are going to suffer unspeakable harm. is it a mistake? so withdrawal, i think it is. yeah, i think because i think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad. and i'm sad and i spent a lot and i spent a lot of time with afghan women and, and they're scared. and i think about all the interpreters and people that help not only us troops or nato troops. and they're just, it seems like there's, you can be left behind to be slaughtered by the very brutal people and it breaks my heart. there is one image, the world remembers of you and i'm going to america let that said the g, a meeting in st. petersburg, when you were massaging her shoulder,

and i walk by again where yeah, i wouldn't call it an extended massage. i'd call it a. yeah, i mean, she was here, it's kind of a spontaneous reflection of friendship. and i'm sure people didn't know what to make of it. i didn't mind. i thought was kind of i thought it was a wow. and that can i don't know. yeah, i mean one of those things that just happened. it certainly was scripted. did you ever talk with her about it? no, no, but if i need to go, i'm sorry. i did that and put in the public spotlight, but on the other hand, is a reflection of my, my friendship with you will be broadcasting the full interview with george w bush here on the w throughout the day. and you can also watch it on all youtube channel d w documentary. it's been a 24 year 31st, took him half a 1000000 kilometers across china on a motorbike,

but one father has now finally been reunited with his long lost son. the boy was just 2 years old when he was kidnapped by traffickers and sold to another chinese family, but his father vowed never to stop looking for a thought that holds his son. me a mother can't let go. the family we united after 24 years. it's an emotional moment quotient. jim was just 2 years old when he was abducted from outside his family home in eastern shan don't province. it was $997.00 and his father was going ton quit his job to search for him. he travelled more than 500000 kilometers around china on his motorbike with a flag of his son on the back,

refusing to give up what he was there when it's on. i thought maybe there would be a ray of hope to finding my son will sue. well, if i go on searching for him, this isn't the kidnapper would never send my son back any way. so you can see if i stayed at home, there's no chance. so since the end of $997.00, i've been searching for my son or without his hunt stole the hearts of millions of chinese and was even made into a movie last and love. when a girl kept detailed notes of all his tip off including of other child abductions, he was even able to help some families find that traffic children. and after 24 years of searching for his own son. finally,

a breakthrough thanks to dna. who was the ex but found please relating to grow in hen and province in june, during a meeting on d. n, a sequencing organized by the ministry of public security experts and had collected d, n, a samples of relevant people and confirmed the person in question was the son who is abducted 24 years ago, who was in the ministry says 2 people connected to was abduction have been arrested after years of criss crossing china to find his lost son. finally, they are back together. after far too long, a part coming up next and had the w news asia. why pakistan's prime minister interim com comments on women have generated protests in his country. and how muslim women in india were put up for fail

w. for mines. president george w bush invited us through the summer home. we talked about the past and the special relationship to chancellor. i'm not afraid to make a decision was not afraid to leave the kind of person with a lovely song. and that's the person i got to know the exclusive interview with george w bush today at 1530 on d w. so gold was right in front of them that they're all for this one moment. then suddenly we agreed to postpone the or didn't the game said tokyo with $22021.00. thrown off course during the qualifying ground,
