focus on holler, prevention and sustainable charcoal production. all episodes are available online. and of course you can share and discuss on d, w, africa's facebook page, and other social media platforms. crime fighters to noon now. ah ah ah, this is did every news life from berlin? an ominous reports from climate scientists. the past 7 years were the warmest on record and european experts say urgent action is needed. well, as germany's climate minister, what he's planning on doing to cut carbon emissions,

also coming up, pull back, cause ex dance president says russia where troops will withdraw completely from the former soviet republic over the next 10 days. after helping suppress protests across the nation. plus a lot legacy. the u. s. military's infamous montana, moby prison, still opened and still highly controversial. exactly 20 years after the 1st prisoners arrived. and under present bind, it's only set to expand. and a medical breakthrough in a world 1st to us surgeon successfully transplant a genetically modified pig heart into a human patient raising hopes that animal organs could potentially ease a chronic donor shortage. ah

aah! on my life, thank you very much for joining us. the european union's climate monitoring agency has released a heroine new report showing just how much global temperatures have risen in the past 7 years. last year was the 5th warmest on record and extreme weather events. had every continent on the planet, scientists warn we have to prepare for worse. the last 7 years, we're the world's hottest on record. and by a substantial margin, according to the use, copernicus, climate change service. in 2021 global levels of c o. 2 and methane reached record highs. while in the same year, wildfires devastated parts of grace, north america and siberia floods ripped through towns in west and germany and droughts across africa lead to

what was called the 1st ever climate induced famine in madagascar. but as the climate changes, sorry to does, scientists ability to track and predict it. thanks to more advanced modeling except how we are able with more precision 2 or 2 were determined depending on on different projects or ease of emissions or what would be the outcome for the atmosphere. the good news is because of that, or we can show that if michelle taken we expect a young was she a true or not to go, we're too far into uncharted to retreat, drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions is widely a grade to be the best defense against further, human induced warming along with protecting and rehabilitating k ecosystems.

but with extreme weather events already heating, adapting is vital to protect life. commer changes happening, we're seeing more extreme weather many times. we're not prepared by his increased severity and extremity of extreme weather. and so we need to be better prepared. last year, global temperatures were more than one degrees celsius above pre industrial levels, leaving only a tiny margin to avoid 2 degrees or more of warming. and the catastrophic effect. scientists say that would have on the planet germany is one of the world's biggest polluters, and it's not on track to achieve its carbon emissions targets for the year 2030. well, did we use mckellar, griffin to talk to climate minister and vice chancellor robert topic about what's standing in the way minister, how big?

so the money is there, but how will you convince the 16 federal state to make 2 percent of that area? debatable for renewables? to get over the not in my front yard mentality, i think we'd have to do both talk with people, come to spirit. that will make things happen. and on the other hand, going into the regulations. if germany is now starting building up its infrastructure only on the basis of renewable energy's, that means of cost that the security of the infrastructure lies on renew, but energies and that $1.00 cannot say, okay, i understand this, but don't bitter windmills in my backyard or in my country, so we have to change the routes the last as well. so is environmental protection and junior child see a contradiction in the future. that what seems to be

a contrast must be a conscious contrast. we can solve this conflict, we can give nature the big birds, the goats and other birds more space. but in find another place for wind moods. but we need to find place. we're going to be talking about 2 percent of the german german area for when it moves that means 90 percent of free for that. and this should be enough space financial. what a japanese expectation of it's european partners now, but also as it goes into the g 7 presidency, the g 7 is another possibility. and another step to come forward with out role of renewable energy and the production of green hydrogen worked white. and this is the next step. now we are focusing on whitman and a solar. but in the 2030 so renewed huge amounts of green hydrogen for our

industry, for our power plants. we have them back now running on natural gas than switching over to hydrogen. and to the talks in the g 7 format short guzman, the pos for that. will that have a great time with him? thank you. the you is mourning the loss of european parliament president davin desiree. just moments ago, his colleagues gathered on the steps of the parliament to hold a minute of silence. in his memory history, sicily died at the age of 65, the italian centre, left politician had been in the hospital since december 26 struggling for months with poor health. after suffering pneumonia, a former journalist became president in 2019 a vote to elect his replacement had already been planned for later this month.

she gave a short video statement earlier in which she said he was a man of deep faith and strong convictions. and he constantly defended the values of the european union. now he's obviously one of those quintessential europeans, and he's being remembered as a passionate european what, what can you tell us about david sicily who was delicately well, he was born in florence in italy, in 1957 and spent much of the eighty's and ninety's working as a journalist in italy and ended up becoming a prominent anger anchor on a major italian news network. one of the stories that he was famous for covering was the fall of the berlin wall and the re unification of germany, which is obviously significant. then entering european politics in 2009 that moment is of is vital for the idea of european unity that he was re elected here at the

european parliament a few times. and after the 2019 elections, it was decided that he would take the 1st half of the mandate as the european parliament president. his mandate was only going to end next week. i'm exactly as 10 years european our parliament president about to were and next week as you have been reporting, who is likely to be a successor. well, we know that roberta, mozilla, who's in a p p, a member of the european parliament, had a different party. the center right party rather than the center left party is most likely to take the presidency as agreed by the political group. she was here outside the european parliament to mark the moment with her fellow colleagues and the staff of the european parliament. and she treated earlier on to say that she is heartbroken, that europe has lost a leader, and that she has lost a friend. there's a lot of sadness in her. i'm brussels over the death of david cecily,

the president of the european parliament who died at the age of 65 versus correspondence. jack a parent cra, talking to us from right outside the european parliament in brussels. thank you. let's get you up to speed now with some of the other world headlines bilateral talks between russia and the united states. ended with no breakthrough on monday. discussions focused on deescalate intentions over ukraine western countries or calling on russia to pull its troops back from the ukrainian border. moscow for its part once a guarantee from nato, that the military elias will not expand eastward mandatory. a man accused of setting fire to south africa's parliament building has been charged with terrorism . officials say san delete murphy was arrested apathy with explosives. he denies the charges. critics claim he's being made escape go to cover security failings. the fire on january 2nd, cause extensive damage to the parliament. nicaragua,

support came at the request of the cause at president last week, after days of unprecedented unrest in the former soviet republic. looking out over almighty airport, this russian piece keeper is controlling an area that was stolen by protestors and briefly ceased during the unrest. now everything seems calm again. more than 2000 foreign troops were deployed to kazakhstan last week by the russian lead collective security treaty organization, along with 250 pieces of military hardware. president chi if announced that the forces will begin leaving in 2 days and will have withdrawn completely in 10 days time. he's framing the protest as a coup attempt assisted by foreign terrorists. muslim comma, my military, i get the good of shape when looking fish and was being made, you could have lost control of alma t. the most intense phase of the counter terrorism operation is now complete. opposite all regions of stable and lots of ups here for the unit for dinner. so i'd

like to announce that the main mission of the c s t o has been successfully completed to her aboard seal or the cupboard was personally or from huh. it an attempt to restore stability to chi if also nominated new candidates for government post, the former deputy oliphant smell for well the, the new prime minister. last week i'm clashes between government opponents and security forces. combined with the looting spree, rendered parts of the largest city almighty almost unrecognizable. almost 10000 people have been detained throughout the country. more than 150 people were killed . it is not yet clear why the protests started to turn violent, but many doubt tokai, 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, excuse me. the detention camps set up by the us following the 911 attacks and the in suing invasion of afghanistan in a clear breach of human rights. most prisoners were held indefinitely without trial to 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, suspected of involvement in the $911.00 attacks, but never charged for a crime. he was brutally tortured and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder until to day 34 nights ago i woke up and i was shaking. so skin because i saw my,

my jacket was a dog and i thought it was someone coming to get him. and he took me a very long time. some time i wake up, i cannot breathe. defense counsel anthony natalie represents an alleged. okay, the terrorist who arrived here in 2006 and since then has been waiting for his trial. guantanamo has been seen internationally as a stain on american history. so where does that place here put the united states? we're ashamed that every thing that made this country one that we could say was a free country that had equal justice for all has abandoned all of that. and that's sad, it's sad and i, i don't know how we're going to be able to recover. montana mom was built after the $911.00 attacks us government aimed for a forceful and rapid response. united states

went 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 tara 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 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 resembled small town america some normalcy in a place. full of contradictions. rate 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 the low hold of almost 800 former detainees. 39 are still incarcerated in guantanamo only to have been convicted of a crime or south are reporting. he nash m. c is the director of the

national security project at the american civil liberties union. she joins us now. thank you so much for your time miss chelsea. how do you reflect on guantanamo still being open for 20 years now. thank you so much for having me. it is especially a privilege to follow after the comments that my client mama to old sly he made. so guantanamo today is a global symbol of american injustice, torture, and abuse of power. today there are $39.00 muslim men who are indefinitely detained there or subjected to unconstitutional and broken military trials and dis, half to end. what is the likelihood that the current u. s. president present, jo, buying will close getting all 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 part forward is clear. 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 in guantanamo. it can transfer detainees who have not been, nor will be charged with 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 untainted by torture to prosecute prisoners, including those facing the death penalty,

it should pursue clear agreements 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 government prepare for reparations? absolutely. you know, those, it's one of the hallmark some tragedies of our age that the u. s. government has not yet apologized to any one of these men about the harm. it has done to them so many apologies that absolutely something that the u. s. government should do, but it needs to start with ending the travesty and legal, moral and ethical catastrophe is guantanamo. he is 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. you're watching the

w still to come. it's a medical 1st that's brought hope to those in need of a new heart's world. take a look at the experimental surgery that saved a man's life and might save many more. but 1st, italy has introduced new corona virus restrictions aimed at encouraging unvaccinated people to get the job. the government is responding to a wave of new cases fueled by the armor chron variant. it comes after authorities introduced mandatory covet 19 vaccinations for people over the age of 50 last week to slow the spread of the virus. people on the island of esquire started their week having to navigate tougher. corona virus restrictions a series of services will now be off limits to those who have not been jabbed, including restaurants, jim's or public transport islanders must present

a vaccination certificate known as the super green pass to be able to commute to the mainland. it sparked anger among some living here who say they'll be forced into exile with to struggle. gone thing to the health minister has granted justice bailey penn date was we can brought the ship some trouble for health reasons, sort of get to school. great. what about the need to get to work? wanted to inquire, not every one has a possibility to get vaccinated. everybody is free to do what they want. therefore, if somebody does not want to get vaccinated, the government cannot oblige him all her. of these reasons, i don't think it's fair to enforce that mandatory vaccination. italy has seen a rise in cases of the highly contagious on the con variant in recent weeks. the government declared that people over 50 must be vaccinated against the virus. permanent samaya drudgery already made it mandatory for teachers and health workers

and is urging others to do so. nike comb with those he got food, he got through k, grandfatherly bro. blaming bounced of the problems we are facing today and delivered you to the fact that there unvaccinated people been soon and known by unvaccinated, have a higher chance of developing the disease and severe forms of the disease that medea. and while the new rules are aimed at curbing the sprite of infections is posing a logistical challenge for those living on the islands, who fear limits, their movements will leave them behind. let's take a brief look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic, the world health organization has warning that half the population of europe is likely to catch the highly contagious. i'm a chron variant over the next 2 months. poland so reported deaths surpassed 100000 . on tuesday, the country struggles to convince more people to get vaccinated. and china as an young, has become the 3rd city to be placed under lockdown due to

a cove at 19 outbreak around $20000000.00 chinese and now confined to their homes. in a medical 1st you are surgeons, have successfully implanted a genetically modified pick heart into a human patient the transplanted place. last week, the 57 year old patient was too ill 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 hot lung machine. he simply didn't want to die, 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 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 patience bodies 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. is this a game changer? because a, you know, now and not a v will have these organs are readily available if you had their technique of a genetically modifying. so if they're more cute tweaking, required for, for modifying the genes, we can re, every of the, you will be able to do that. and you know, can, can, you know,

customize basically the hard for, are the argon for the patient? the experimental procedure raises ethical and animal rights issues, and as far from being declared safe. but for now, dave bennett's new pig heart is still beating up next to all the actions from the 1st match day of the year in germany, bonus league up. and there's lots more on our website, dw, dot com, and you can find us on instagram and twitter to or handle there is a rock and roll him on behalf of the entire team. thank you very much for spending this part of your day with us. i'll catch you later with ah,
