not least for sports heroes, actually it was a weapon, the face, but now we just have to fight their mobilizing superpowers. i'm fired up and ready to go down doing walk down the lucky go to tokyo, started july dw me. former us presidents rarely publicly criticize a city us president, perhaps that slip george w bush's mind when he told the w news that president biden's decision to withdraw us troops from afghanistan is a mistake. bush also said that he's worried about what the taliban may do to the women and girls of afghan to stand. but that is not why the us went to war in afghanistan 20 years ago. and mr. bush, he should know, he was the president who started the war. i'm burned, gulf and berlin. this is the day

the news this is a mistake was going i, you know, i think it is. yeah. i think because i think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad of a lot of fun is on the brink of another human it is in this can deal, i did. this should be avoided. i will much send another generation americans to warn canister, and i think years ago was totally up to the afghans to make the decision about the future country. you're not believing yes. can people, we're not abandoning the app. can people, it seems like there's you can be left behind to be slaughtered by the very brutal people. also coming up, it has been a week since the president of haiti was assassinated. the u. s. is not fitting

troops to the island, but it is offering advice to those who want to put the chaos behind them. we are the country's political leaders to bring the country together a round, a more inclusive, peaceful, and secure a vision, and pay the road toward free and fair elections this year. to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world, welcome. we begin the day with a lesson in the power of the us president and how it can be easier to start a war than to end one. us troops will complete their withdrawal from afghanistan by the end of august. it will mark the end of 2 decades of fighting and bloodshed that became known as americans. longest war president biden is the commander in chief who decided that enough is enough. before he announced the withdraw biden consulted former president obama in bush. their presidencies were also burdened by the military mission in afghanistan. former president obama was reportedly in for support of the troop withdrawal for president bush's response was reportedly more

muted. now it's important to remember, president bush launched the invasion of afghanistan in october, 2001 just a few weeks after the 911 terror attacks in the us at the time bush called it a clearly defined mission in the war on terror. the goal was to destroy al qaeda, which had been hiding in afghanistan or 20 years and 4 presidents later. the memory of that mission is apparently not so clear for former us president george w bush. listen to what he told d. w. as in his poll when she asked him about us troops now leaving us in a state, i was very pleased. she was supportive of troops in afghanistan. i'm by the way, and one of the reasons why is because she saw the progress that could be made for young girls and women in afghanistan is unbelievable. how that society changed from the brutality of the taliban. and our sudden sadly,

i'm afraid i have gained women and girls are going to suffer. unspeakable harm is a mistake. so withdrawal i, you know, 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. one important fact check on one former president george w bush said they are about the f, k and translators. in interpreters, you helped us troops. the white house says they are not being left behind. they are being evacuated by u. s. military planes and will be taken to a safe country to wait as their us visas are processed. that begins this month.

let's go now to washington d. c. bureau, venus. paul joins me now. good evening to you in this, and we should let our viewers know that you sat down with mr. bush to interview him about his relationship with german transfer uncle america who was stepping down in a couple of months. it was during that interview that the former president offered some candid and unexpected comments about afghanistan, right. he has president bush is keeping a low profile since he left office friend. and as you said in the interview, he became a simple painter. he actually only sat down with me because he wanted to share his thoughts and actually feelings about us. he put it, dear friend america and we know that former presidents, they rarely criticize a sitting president and we know that president biden, and mister bush, they're there reportedly on good terms. how do you explain?

been bush lashing out if you will, against biden's decision to withdraw us troops or map dana stand. hello, brenda, this is, it was a very humble and open atmosphere, as you can tell when you watch of the whole interview. president, a former president bush is truly worried about the future of i've gone just on mainly when it comes to girls and women. and as he explained to me, he and his wife, laura met with many african women. and i have the feeling that he really connected with him on a very personal level, plus president bided himself. actually also said last week that he's also worried about women and girls and i've gone is done so that course they don't differ. but president bush, obviously things it's wrong to withdraw the troops bite and things. it's the right move. yeah. and it struck me that mister bush said that he's worried about what could happen to women and girls. if the taliban retake the country,

mister bush and his entire administration at the time insisted that the war in afghanistan was emission to defeat al qaeda and not a state building mission for afghanistan. has mr. bush, do you think? is he forgotten, or is he engaging in selective? remembering here? that is a very good point brand. i mean, we have to recall the very beginning of the war. it was a reaction of $911.00 the terrill attack here in the united states. then president bush and his administration believe that they have to gun or rather bomb down terrorists just to give a little bit of a perspective here 20 years ago when the so called war on terrorism started the fear of further terrorist attacks was very real actually not only in the us. so i think over the course of the years, former president bush kind of focus shifted. maybe also because he realized that he

needed a fresh, fresh argument to justify this military action. i mean, to just put in some fingers here, we must forget, around 2500 us military, lost their lives in action. $40000.00 african civilians died and the total cost for the war was over a $1000000000.00. so this became a very unpopular war here in the united states. and let's talk about the german chancellor, the former us president. we know that mr. bush is funded for chancellor miracle has grown through the years. you know, chancellor medical as well. and how does she regard mister bush? is this fondness is it mutual? you know, there is actually an interesting interview with angle america from some years ago. she said, i wouldn't be here and i quote that here is not for george h bush. this is the father or job of george w bush. we have to keep in mind,

i'm going to america grew up in the east and he really help bringing down the wall . so he's a very, she has a very personal relationship to the bush family. and i think this also played a role in this relationship to, to george w bush with whom i could conduct this interview. and we know the difference chance are going to make or she is in washington. she has a busy schedule tomorrow. she's meeting with president by what will be the most important topics to discuss? yeah, there is a lot to discuss it. so last visit as chancellor. i mean, the most definitely will talk about the reason cyber text of russia. one of the more kind of sensitive topics will be the question about the north stream to pipeline. and the white house also has opposed the question about the vaccine passions. because america so far is

against giving out them to the world. but president biden wants to make the vaccine information available for the rest of the world. and jennifer, meg, she arrives in washington and she finds in america and a president biden, who like her respecter. but there are some who may not be so sad to see her leave. suddenly the trunk miss ministration of the former trump administration. i shall say, is happy to see her go mainly because of her immigration policy. there are many americans who see that as a bad bad example, and i'm sure that they are kind of happy to see her go. all right, washington bureau chief in his ball is we will be talking with you also tomorrow, as our coverage continues. of the german chancellor's last visit to the us. thank you with today,

europe laid out a plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions. that is also a challenge to the rest of the world to do the same. it is called the fit for $55.00 program. it includes dozens of policies aimed at reducing c o 2 gases by 55 percent. by the end of this decade, if the legislation is passed, it will give a major boost to renewable energy production. it will also have wide ranging effects on how europeans live, including a phase out of diesel and gasoline. vehicles. critic save will put a heavy financial burden on consumers, especially in for europe in countries. environmental activists save fit for $55.00 is not enough or short time ago. you commission president ursula from july and presented the proposals. and this is what she had to say. we know, for example, that our current fossil fuel economy has reached its limits and we know that we have to move on to

a new model. one that is powered by innovation that has clean energy. that is moving towards the social i economy. europe is now the very 1st continent that presents a comprehensive architecture to meet our climate ambitious. we have the goals, but now we present the roadmap to how we are going to get there. alright, i'm joined now by noah gordon. he's an american climate journalist based here in berlin. no, it's good to have you on the program. let's look at what was presented today. this green deal is it as revolutionary as the european union is claiming it to be you know, revolutionary is a bit strong in many ways. it's so called fit for $55.00 packages. and acceleration of the emission cuts that you had been carrying out for years. you know, you said the commission on to reduce permit from the carbon market to increase the price of carbon pollution in force that tricity generators and manufacturers to fewer greenhouse gases. and i want to tighten the existing regulations on energy

efficiency and power much more. but is it a serious impressive proposal for climate legislation? absolutely to us on more than any other major jurisdiction, including the u. s. to reduce emissions. and this package does include at least a few revolutionary measures like a back to our ban on new fossil fuel cars from 2035 and the carbon border tax, which from 2026. we'll put a price on imports of carbon, tens of goods like steals demand, come from outside the union. so the 1st time a major economic area will be putting direct financial pressure on trade partners to make greener products. so i will talk about those points just a moment, but the whole plan, it's not a done deal yet. right. i mean, 20 other members of the european union, they all have to sign off on it, right. you're right, it's not a done deal far from it. it was late 2019 when you 1st started talking about its deal and ambition for climate neutrality and took 18 months for the commission to speak to stakeholders and put for these proposals. could be another 18 months before these becoming law and demand ago major changes in the process. so these

proposal start the legislative process. in the next test, the parliament has to approve him and then it goes to the counselor, the national leaders and member states have their se one's all the institutions agree. the parliament council have to give their final approval usually by majority . but there's also the multi level nature of your policy making to consider that you have a great deal of regulatory power, but it's awesome down to member states to pass the national of implement these rules. and this can take a year more to, for example, to use that today, wants to expand, is charging network for electric cars to have on every 60 kilometers on the highway . now that you budget's only about one percent of the g d p. so kind of the commission can directly finance millions of these things. instead of set goals for the member dates to achieve, which are usually enforced by discursive pressure in brussels. and if all else fails, the threat of legal proceedings and perhaps the final, the usual ensure there a lot of steps between brussels policy makers sitting and target per electric car chargers and someone actually installing one italian town. yeah, that's a very good point. let's take an example of this of getting taking the id and try

to make it a very ality. you've been observing political parties here in germany. most, almost all of them are on board and they have a green message. but what about the bit. busy that hurts and i'm talking about the implementation. that's when all of a sudden it's hard to find people to be on board, right? absolutely right. it's easy to stand up if you're a politician and give a speech about how missions will fall to 0 and 30 years long after you left office . actually, when you though, it's not hard to speak out and support him. something like hire touches on gasoline and the german campaign i had a bunch in here. this was a good example of this. the german supreme court ruled that germany had to raise its climate target to protect the freedom of future generation. and politicians of all part of the plot of land when the leader of the green party and their suggest to gasoline prices have to increase jeremy wanted to hit the target, the other parties attacked. or even though they had all agree to indirectly raised gas prices back in 2019 so hypocritical, but good campaigning. when i'm wondering,

did, how the government, how are they going to avoid having a narrative of gas prices are, are going to get higher and everything else is going to get more expensive. how are they going to sell that? i guess, to the consumer. you know, it's worth pointing out that a large and growing group is your opinion to support these measures. they see the amazon shrinking, the temperatures rising. we saw the fridays for future protests, but you're corrected. certainly at risk of political backlash. the german transport minister is already complained that today's new rules about sustainable vh and fuels could be costing europe, sir lines. so what does the government doing? some are trying to emphasize the positive aspects of climate policy. france giving people 2500 euros to treat and they're all gasoline. carter and he bike and some cities like luxemburg and talon has 3 public transport. other politicians might try to go for a quieter climate policy through regulation. people complain more about gas that

increases a new requirement. automakers, even if those regulations might cost jobs and tax revenue in the short term and need to visible general tax types. and finally, the strategy of blaming you and acting into higher gas prices are imposed by bureaucrats. and brussels rather than approved and largely implemented by a national government in nor briefly, if there any pressure that the european union can put on the us. and china for example. yeah, i think today's announcement, you put some pressure on the u. s. to live up to its message that it is assuming climate leadership, us with some great targets and taking some positive steps through executive action regulation. but it's difficult for the binding ministration to pass any loss may be ality in a polarized system, hamstrung by our chain rules that requires majority in the senate. and that's for china. china comes from a very different starting point, lower g, d, p, and emissions per capita. under than face the same type of pressure to cut emissions right away. but it does want to be a climate leader itself and work with you on climate to dominate future industries

like electric cars and so on. but you know, measures like the aforementioned and controversial carbon board attacks show that you mean business. i could draw legal challenges, allegory terrorist and we'll see how the superpowers react. yes, very good points. no, a gord, no, we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thanks. the one week after the assassination of hades president, the country is still reeling from the fall. authorities believe they've arrested one of the masterminds behind the plot, but they're still looking for a motive. and the political power struggle is only making matters worse. in haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere couldn't have been more brazen. cctv cameras caught the assassins moving in military formation. descending on the sleeping president outside his residence,

they bypassed his security guards by claiming they were us agent. once inside, they killed him. we need to know what is their motivation, who they are and where they came from. in the days that followed, police killed or captured an army of suspects. a mix of colombians and haitian americans. they had their mash and reese and then a few days later near a legit mastermind a little noon florida doctor of haitian descent. but no clear motive in february job, an el moist overstayed his term limit parenting him plenty of enemies and feeling widespread protest. 6 know his killing has created a volatile power vacuum 1st this month for joseph. yes,

so you may see claim to be prime minister with the international. but the opposition, the say he's carried out to the young woman, we consider him a surfer who should be in jail the see. this man only knew who was nominated by moist 2 days before his day should be in charge. if that wasn't bad enough, katy's notorious gang leaders have got involved too. so cobra, not so now, it is a national and international conspiracy against the haitian people. i asked all the gangs to mobilize takes to the street. all the us is calling on the politicians to come tensions. we are the country's political leaders to bring the country together a round, a more inclusive, peaceful, and secure vision, and pay the road toward free and fair elections this year. well, i spoke to francisco, lucy,

and she's the executive director of the institute for justice and democracy in haiti. and i asked her, is anybody legitimately in charge now in hate? the president his own mandate test, it was fascinated before i recognized interim. prime minister was installed quad, joseph was effectively removed from the office of the prime minister by the decrees that named r e l as prime minister. however on, on read, was not actually installed in the world. therefore, following the assassination, we've seen competing claims to power. and in this context where we're outside of institutional functionality, the important question is really whether the haitian people in civil society will have a say, the way forward will phrase is. let me ask you if, if the situation is, is chaotic is you're describing it there. we know that there's been a request that the us in troops into restore order. the us state department doesn't like the idea. is this something the u. s. should be doing or not?

it's a great question and i will say, i think that for real change to happen, the only path forward is going to be one page by pd itself. and certainly there is a role for the international community to assist in an a to assist it must learn from the past and really ensure that it's listening to ation civil society that is listening to the voices that are coming from the ground. what they're proposing of the solution in a way forward. and any engagement really reflects the population human, right. it's the strengthening of institutions and rule of law enabling the integrity and functioning of those institutions and really supporting the countries right to self determination. no. the international community would like to see those things happen, and that's one reason why the international community has given millions in aid to 80, especially since the earthquake. a lot of people say though that has not helped. it's actually hurt the country. does haiti need

a type of tough love from the outside world right now? i guess it's a really great question and i might push back a little bit on that because i think what, what this moment has demonstrated is the question that has been around for a long time of how can we re think, re imagine and reset the international communities engagement with katie, and that, that happens at multiple levels, whether it's in terms of policy, whether it's in terms of the development of an aide or the individual and collective solidarity that we've seen from so many, including, you know, and g o, the non profits of different organizations who want to engage in meetings. but i think one of the lessons that can be drawn from the last 10 years following the earthquake and the amount of aid that has poured into the country is really the importance of having local stakeholders. people ensuring that individuals and

organizations that the communities recognize and trust to be part of the solution have a seat and really determine where those research resources go. me how their fence in making sure that they're most effective to the benefit of the population. ok, francisco lucy with the institute for justice and democracy in haiti for instance. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you so much and wonderful to be with you today. a good look. it could just be the most awkward moment in us german relations. the massage felt around the world, or at least felt in the chancellor's shoulders. it happened back in 2006 at the g, so many st. petersburg, russia. when then, president bush got a little 2 hands on with german chancellor, i'm going to miracle. and the impromptu neck rub that rubbed the german chancellor

a little the wrong way. were now 15 years later, the former president, he's mellowed out monsieur, if you will. he's even offered an apology for that miracle. massage moment. take a look. there is one image of the world remembers of you and i'm going to america that's, that's at the d. a meeting in saint petersburg when you were massaging her shoulder . and i walk by again. 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 those kind of i thought it was. wow. and it can. i don't know. yeah. i mean one of those things that just happened. it certainly was scripted. did he ever talk with her about it? no, no, but if i need to go, i'm sorry, i did that and but in the public spotlight,

but on the other hand, is a reflection of my, my friendship with you. alright, the days i was done the conversation discontinue the land you find isn't whether even the w news. you could probably be written golf via remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see that everybody the the news, the news, the news, the news, the

news, the the ah president george w bush invited us to summer. we talked about the past and the special relationships to chancellor. medical i know is not afraid to make a decision, was not afraid to leave the kind person with a lovely song. and that's a person i got to know the exclusive interview with george w bush and 30 minutes on d. w. in the evening of climate change,

the the, what's the people here, what ideas do they have for their future? the w dot com megacity, the multimedia site. click and enter the green. you feel worried about the meal hosting agreement? and to me is clear. we need to change the solutions or out that join me for a deep green transformation to me for the the

me a, me me, i can because you know i

me the news . this is the w news. why? but from berlin tonight, the former us president who launched america's longest war, says, ending the war in afghanistan. now is a mistake. i'm afraid afghan women and girls are going to suffer unspeakable heart . this is a mistake withdrawn. i think it is. yeah, i think because i think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad. in exclusive interview with the w news, former president george w bush says nato's african allies are being left behind to be slaughtered. also coming up tonight, europe's carbon free future. the european union lays out and ambitious plan to

pivot away from fossil fuels by the end of the decade. and really from the wrong, it's in south africa, a week of unrest has hospital is running short on medicine and stores low on food. ah, ah, i bring it up. it's good to have you with us. we start tonight with striking remarks made by former us president george w bush in an exclusive interview with the w news. he says that he believes the withdrawal of us and nato troops from afghanistan is a mistake, or says he is also worried that the pull out of troops will lead to women and girls suffering at the hands of the tale bought. the former president also spoke of his relationship with german chancellor under the miracle praising her for her support of the military mission in afghanistan. alex, very plain,

she was supportive of troops in afghanistan by the way. and one of the reasons why is because she saw the progress that could be made for young girls and women in afghanistan is unbelievable. that society changed from the brutality of the taliban . and all of a sudden, sadly, i'm afraid i have gained women and girls are going to suffer. unspeakable harm. is a mistake? so withdrawn? 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, 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. that was an exclusive interview conducted by our washington bureau chief in

his poll. i spoke with his little bit earlier and i put it to are that at the time the bush administration insisted that the warden f dana stand was a mission to defeat al qaeda and that it was not a state building mission. i think over the course of the years, former president bush kind of focus shifted maybe also because he realized that he needed a fresh, fresh argument to justify this military action. i mean, to just put in some fingers here, we mustn't forget around a $2500.00 us military, lost their lives and x and $40000.00 african civilians died and the total cost for the war was over a $1000000000.00. so this became a very unpopular war here in the united states. i also spoke with journalist ali le tv in kabul, and i asked him about the legacy of the native mission in against in. and i got his

reaction to those comments by former us president george w bush. i think it's very interesting that he's suddenly, you know, concerned about women and children because you know, his war made a lot of widows and made a lot of children or friends. you know, there was a lot of, you know, there were, there was, there was an addition, there was one time all there was imprisonments, there is night, raise their stroke strike, there's air shape. there's all kinds of things that if he's concerned about civilians, he should have thought about during his own administration. as for the legacy, i mean, the fact that we're having these questions is the legacy, right? the fact that the taller bond is still able to pose a threat to, to, to the government, enter the security forces. the fact that we're still having these battles and the fact that we're still asking what might happen to women, to children, to interpreters, you know, 20 years down the line. that is the, is a legacy, you know, what really was achieved for. so asking these questions 20 years later. and you can

watch our full interview with former president george w bush. you can watch it at d, w dot com, and you can also watch it on our youtube channel. let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world on the 5th anniversary of asia harvest attack in nice france. the country is paid tribute to the victim. 86 people died on july 14th, 2016. when they trudged, plowed into a large crowd, celebrating by steel de speaking to survivors and families. today, the country's prime minister appealed for unity and said that france would never surrender to have investigations continue into the killing last week of hades, president jovan elmo, eas, after the arrest of one of the alleged plotters find suspects, remain at large. authorities are searching for a former haitian senator of fire, a government official, and a convicted cocaine smuggler police believe the killing may have been politically motivated. the united arab emirates is open to the embassy and israel. it's held

intel of each new stock exchange building. it marks the latest step towards the normalization of relations following a us broker reconciliation deal last year. a moss has slammed the you know, your ration as a quote stab in the back of the palestinian people. fears over food and fuel shortages are growing in south africa after a week of looting and unrest. hospitals are now running out of oxygen medicines and food as riding disrupt supply chains across the country. within so many people have been killed in some of the worst violent scene since the end of apartheid. building is on fire. a baby is thrown down thankfully caused by a small crowd that gathered below. others managed to make their escape to the ground floor shops were looted and set ablaze.

durban is one of the cities in south africa, being rocked by unrest and businesses are paying a high price. in some places, south africans are now forced to q for essentials. well, i think we just a bit concerned about fuel and water at this stage, but no, otherwise we can get to go. hopefully the future supplies start running in from next week. some suspected looters have been arrested. but in this small, in a town outside johannesburg, it looks like a free for all the what, thank you to see what you all the, what gordon? thoughtful, andrea, you know, it's all to the other people out there. the trajectory in baby turn outside for toria, police fire on looters and the military has been sent in to so went to try

to restore law and order. the protest began last week after former president, jacob duma began serving a 15 month jail term for contempt of court. but frustration over inequality and rising unemployment are also fueling the chaos. i. i just the roof, i guess the real reason is because we have nothing and when you see other people stealing at some point, you realize that shops will close and you'll be left with nothing. so you ask yourself, after all of this, how will i survive with the way things are? for now, there is no sign of the unrest letting up la corresponded christine would. what is in cape town, where she says there is no sign of tensions easy. we are now on god for the racial tensions that are flaring up, particularly in was blue. and that's how this is among the black in indian

communities. essentially what has come down to is that you've got on civilians now in the 2 provinces, basically standing in low enforcement, they are heavily on that. they say that we are guarding our property. and of course, that has tension between communities in the process of the probably the president natal, it was the white people and black communities as well. and so these are the fears ortiz also warned about violence. a way you will see attacks on foreign nationals that we already seen, some foreign nationals, packet funding, national for example, closing up their shops in anticipation that they will be the next target essentially. so there is no sign of less up when it comes to the tensions. in fact, it's starting to move into other forms of tensions, particularly the racial tension at the moment. or the w. christie mood, whether reporting from cape town. it is ambitious and it is a challenge for the rest of the world today. the european union laid out plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions 55 percent by the end of the decade. it calls for

phasing out the sell of petrol and diesel cars by 2035. and it also calls for a carbon tax that both the us in china oppose. critic say the plan place is too much of a burden on consumers, especially in poor european countries. environmental activist said, the plan doesn't go far enough. quite a good. the moon landing in 1969, a historic day, and an event that europe's leaders have compared to another historic challenge, the fight against climate change. we do not have all the answers yet. today's the start of a journey. but this is europe. man on the moon moment. the you aims to make europe's the 1st climate neutral continent by 2050. that means no more carbon should be admitted into the atmosphere than what's absorbed. for example, by forests. as a 1st step on this journey,

you leaders have pledged to cut emissions by 55 percent by 2030. but critics say, these cuts are nowhere near enough to meet the goals of the 2015 paris agreement. others fear less wealthy you countries and many of its poor citizens won't be able to afford the measures d. e. u though, has promised to help lower income households and fight climate change by introducing a package of new laws. or what it costs over. now the tim gore in stockholm, sweden. he's the head of the low carbon and circular economy program at the institute for european environmental policy. that's a sustainability think. take that space in brussels. it's good to have you on the show. me, this is an ambitious plan that europe is presenting to itself and the world. is it? what is needed to meet the promises and the pledges of the parents climate

agreement? well, thanks for having me. and the 1st thing to say is that of course we need one more action, but this is the e. u. not only putting on the table and new strength and climate reduction target by 203055 percent reduction below 1990 levels, but critically also setting out a comprehensive plan to actually achieve it. so that's a world 1st and what this packages really built on is the polluter pays principal. it's going to extend carbon pricing to around 2 thirds of emission in the u. that's a good thing, as long as we make sure that the revenues that generates and it's going to generate about a 100000000 years per year by the end of the decade, as long as we spend those revenues, well, we can both cut the emissions and reducing the quality in europe at the same time, you say making the polluter pay, i know a lot of people watching will wonder, does that mean making the consumer pay more is well?

well, timidly it will, because in the end, if you ask business to change what they're doing to take account of the carbon emissions that they're producing well, they tend to do is pass that on to consumers. so doesn't matter in the end, whether you try to regulate or the set of carbon price, consumers will have to pay. now, the advantage of doing this with a carbon prices that you will generate substantial revenues in the process. i really critical question how you then use those revenue to make sure that the current citizens are not bearing the burden. so i think it's important that the commission today has set out some initial plans for climate social funds that is going to generate billions and direct those toward some of the poorest. how so across the you to help them with the transition is all about, you know, at embedding span is that the heart proposals, i think what we've had today the start, and now we need to build on that team. that's about 30 seconds. we just ask you, and there are 27 members of the european union, where these measures have to be watered down before we finally get an approval by

everyone. well, inevitably, and nobody gets everything that they want as also the european parliament to take into account. they'll have to use and everything as well. i think the key here is it's a package deal. so you're going to have to horse trading. but as long as politicians can sell this to their publics, to show you that actually this is going to be good for their health is going to be good for jobs and is going to make sure that we have a safer climate, both for current generations and future generations, and if they can do that, i think that the package will get 3 tim gore with the institute for european environmental policy. and we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thanks. sports things. now. italy's euro 2020 hero, young luigi dana duma is on the move from ac milan to partners son german on a free transfer. the goalkeeper signed the deal in paris just days after being named player of the turn him into the european championships where his crucial save help easily be england. and the penalties shoot out that the site is
