3:09 pm
the year 2030 by the latest. and this can only be done if the capacities for renewable energy i significantly increased and for the package that was presented today is a very crucial step. and of course, what is important now is that package is adopted and then implemented, asked, but the energy sector is only one of the sectors where we need to catch up and kind of politics. we need cindy and the emergency packages, also for the sector agriculture. and also been a t what do you make of some of the voices that are being raised now about maybe increasing the use of nuclear energy. i know germany has been, of course, at the forefront of phasing that out. could that be one of the solutions? nuclear is no solution to the climate crisis. it is an expensive technology and it bears risks that cannot be ruled out. the risks are to devastating. the

3:18 pm
but many doubt took i its narrative of a rapid radicalization. instead, the chaos has laid bare in fighting at the very top of a government that was until recently still dominated by former leader no sultan, as i, by of 20 years ago to day. the 1st prisoners arrived in guantanamo bay. the detention camps set up by the us following the 911 attacks and the ensuing invasion of afghanistan and a clear breach of human rights. most prisoners were held indefinitely without trial, did abuse oliver salad went to the u. s. naval base on guantanamo and the camp some say has come to symbolize one of the biggest us moral failings in the so called war on terror. mm guantanamo, located in a tropical paradise. but the u. s. naval base in cuba stands for human rights abuses and torture mohammed to old slaw. he was held cheerful, 14 years,

3:20 pm
i don't know how we're going to be able to recover. autonomy was built after the $911.00 attacks us government aimed for a forceful and rapid response. united states will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts. in the war on terror, america in its allies invaded afghanistan. the u. s. naval base at guantanamo bay, served as a prison for a ledge war criminals and terrace suspects. a place where the constitution of the united states does not exist ever since it was opened. human rights activists argue guantanamo is where the u. s. lost its moral authority, a place of torture and double standards that is mostly of limits for or a camera. but there's also another side of guantanamo a place where 6000 inhabitants try to go about their everyday lives. in a bizarre contrast to the infamous prison, residential areas resemble small town america some normalcy in
3:21 pm
a place. full of contradictions. ready, you get more, delivers the sound trick for guantanamo, and she is get most voice. hello. hello. welcome to your morning show with the day candles otherwise known as petty. i'm the analyst for trials and the prism are not part of their coverage. a. it's not really part of like the culture here. you now that's i another side of the base here on this side we have a whole different type of operations going here. the new school allows that students somewhat of a normal childhood, 5 kilometers from the notorious torture prison. good. okay. what are some other things that you know about native that's actually the message that the one that always said to the whole world. they said there are 2 kinds of people in this world . people who don't deserve a lot of law. muslim young people and people who deserve low,
3:22 pm

3:23 pm
what is the likelihood that the current us present present jo buying will close get now? well, president biden made a campaign promise to close. guantanamo in, his administration. keeps reiterating that process that promise. what we need to see is action. however, on the path forward is clear. busy busy it is achievable, president biden has all the authority he needs to close guantanamo in a way that takes into account the harms that have been done to the men who have been tortured and imprisoned without charge or fair trials for 2 decades. while providing a measure of justice and resolution for victim family members, and his administration can start by pointing a top level official tasked with closing one tommy mo. it can transfer detainees who have not been, nor will be charged with
3:24 pm
a crime. 14 of them have been approved for transfer right now many for years. and finally, if the government has enough evidence that it is that is unpainted by torture to prosecute prisoners, including those facing the death penalty. it should pursue plea agreement to finally resolve cases. and finally, in a few words, if you can, i mean, we understand obviously that almost $800.00 prisoners have been held at guantanamo in the past 2 decades without charged or trial. should the us governments prepare for reparations. absolutely. you know, those, it's one of the hallmarks and tragedies of our age that the u. s. government has not yet apologized to any one of these men about the harm it is done to them. so amend, apologies that absolutely something that the us government should do. but it needs to start with ending the travesty and legal,
3:25 pm
moral and ethical catastrophe. that is continental hiena, m c, as the director of the national security project at the american civil liberties union. thank you so much for taking the time to speak to us. thank you. for having me and finally, and a medical for us, you are surgeons, have successfully implanted a genetically modified pig heart into a human patient, but transplanted place last week. and the 57 year old patient was to will to be eligible for a human heart transplant. this is the heart used to give dave bennett a new lease on life. in a 9 hour procedure surgeons transplanted the organ, taken from a one year old pig. it was gene edited bread and killed for this purpose. following friday surgery, the 57 year old patient is breathing on his own while still connected to a heart lung machine. he simply didn't want to die,
3:26 pm
doesn't want to die. and he felt that if he had no opportunity and he was pretty well convinced by multiple doctors who had told him he had a fatal disease. and he was unlikely to leave the hospital because of it. that as a background, as, as an alternative he, he said to me 2 very important things. i don't want to die. and he said if i do, maybe you'll learn something to help others. prior attempts at so called zeno transplantation, largely failed because patients body's rapidly rejected the animal organ. most countries rely on an opt in system for donation requiring express prior consent to use the organs of dead people in the usa alone, around $6000.00 people die every year. waiting for kidneys, hearts, or lungs. it is a game changer because a, you know, now not a v will have these are guns are readily available if you had their technique of a genetically modifying. so if they're more cute tweaking, required for,
3:27 pm
for modifying the genes, we can review the, the, will be able to do that. and, you know, again, can, you know, customize basically the hard for, are the argon for the patient. the experimental procedure raises ethical and animal rights issues and is far from being declared safe. but for now, dave bennett's new pig heart is still beating in washington every news life from berlin. i'm layla harass from all of us here. thank you very much for spending this part of the day with us around still be news asia i use with
