along with protecting and rehabilitating k ecosystems. but we, the extreme weather events already heating, adapting is vital to protect life. climate change, you know, happening. we're seeing more extreme weather many times. we're not prepared that has 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 a catastrophic effect. scientists say that would have on the planet. and germany is one of the world's biggest polluters, and it's not on track to achieve its carbon emissions targets for 2030 did up is mcculloch of nor talk to climate minister and vice chancellor robert topic about what standing in the way minister her back. so the money is there,

but how will you convince the $16.00 federal states to make 2 percent of their area available 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 a spirit that, oh, we make things happen. and on the other hand, going to the regulations. if germany small starting building up its infrastructure only on the basis of renewable energies. that means of course, that the security of the infrastructure lies on renewable energies. and that one cannot say ok, i understand this, but don beder windmills in my backyard or in my country. so we have to change the routes, the loss as well. so is environmental protection anthia junior tallahassee, a contradiction in the future that what seems to be

a contrast must be a crunch or contrast. we can, softer conflict. we can give nature the bit birds, the earth, e goods and other birds, more space. but in find another place for when moves, but we need to find place for rent modes. we're talking about 2 percent of the german o german area for windmills. that means 98 percent of free for that. and this should be enough space for what is johnny's expectation of its 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 beer 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 23rd is renewed, huge amounts of green hydrogen for our industry,

5:10 pm
but many doubt took. i if 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 nasa 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 in a clear breach of human rights, most prisoners were held indefinitely without trial. he abused oliver salad, went to the u. s. naval base on guantanamo and the camp some se, as come to symbolize, one of the biggest us moral failings and 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 to your for 14 years suspected

of involvement in the $911.00 attacks, but never charged for a cry. he was brutally tortured and suffers from post traumatic stress disorder until today. and 134 nights ago i woke up and i was shaking. so skin because i saw my, my jacket when the door and i thought it was someone coming to get in. and it took me a very long time. some time i wake up, i cannot breathe defense council, anthony natalie represents an alleged al qaeda 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 sat, it said, and i,
5:12 pm
i don't know how we're going to be able to recover what animal was built after the $911.00 attacks. as government aim for a forceful and rapid response. united states went down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts. in the war on terror, america and 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, the 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
5:13 pm
america some normalcy in a place. full of contradictions. radio 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 one is petty, i'm say, an a lease for trials in the prison are not part of their coverage. a, it's not really part of like the culture here, you know, 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 little bit of law. muslim young people and people who deserve the low,

5:15 pm
half to end. what is the likelihood that the current u. s. president 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, 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 tunnel. it can trumps for 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
5:16 pm
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 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, 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 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,
5:17 pm
moral and ethical catastrophe is contadino. he knows i'm c as a 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. want to say now about the other stories in the headlines right now. bilateral talks between russia and the united states ended with no breakthrough on monday discussions focused on di escalating tensions over ukraine. western countries are calling on russia to pull its troops back from the ukrainian border. moscow for its part once a guarantee from nato, that the military alliance will not expand eastwards. absolutely. a man accused of setting fire to south africa parliament building has been charged with terrorism. official say underlay mafia was arrested at the scene with explosives. denies the charges. critics claim these being made escaped,
5:18 pm
go to cover security failing. the fire on january 2nd caused extensive damage to the parliament again to be british by minister boys. johnson is under fire over new allegations that he and his staff flouted corona virus lockdown bulls in a league t mail that was revealed, staff from downing street were invited to a drink party back in may 2020. that's the very same day. a government minister reminded people in britain they could only meet up with one person outside their own household, which will to say to the and, and out to some were more, more marketable quotes from the director of the world health organization in europe . who says that with current infection rates, more than half the population in the region will be infected with alma crohn in the next $6.00 to $8.00 weeks. asked lucas, as rising affections are going hand in hand with rising hospitalization. numbers, israel is along the place of seeing record new cases. it's the 1st country in the
5:19 pm
world to offer people a 4th vaccination. but now the fast spreading arm across variance appears to be out pacing the government's ability to implement a clear strategy did abuse tanya kramer reports from tel aviv. the line for a coven 19 test is long at this official center in tel aviv with the on the chrome very and spreading fast free p. c. r tests are now reserved for people over 60, under their high risk groups. everybody else is required to take it down to gen test 1st with ever changing rules. patience is running low properly. and basically the rules change on a daily basis. there is a joke, the if you refresh the news on the news page, then you get different restrictions and different rules. mostly more kids could feels like a circus. i mean, if the council, the p. c, r, test. the nurses do the outage and testing at home and send our kids back to school
5:20 pm
. for now we have to stand here. we can't work on it. we have to just stay at home being called launch amber light. israel made an early bash on it's rapid vaccination campaign. in october, it had successfully slowed down the del to waive by administering a 3rd booster shots. but now the country is struggling with the i'm a kron very and i were talking oh, very on that is spreading very fast then cool, bishop period is about 2 days knocked 7 days as used to be. so this is why many of them did in my logical measure, saw especially testing and breaking of transmission are much less efficient. ah right now. much of his roused cobit strategy has been focused on vaccination. over $4300000.00 israelis have taken the 3rd booster shots less than half of the population of roughly $9400000.00. since last week the country has begun to roll out the 4th booster for people over 60 medical staff and other high risk groups. ok,
5:21 pm
each time we boost we fortify our immune response. we deepen the immune memory and in since our ability to cope more efficiently with the fiery inst that already challenging us. and those that will unfortunately will emerge. but it's still unclear how hospitals will cope during this 5th wave at a heel of hospital in tel aviv family. dr. laura azurie takes us to the cove at 19 wards. not every badge is occupied right now. but numbers of severely ill patients are increasing daily. and majority are unvaccinated. 2 or have underlying health conditions quote, unquote, unconventional, at the moment some of our patients are vaccinated and some are not on any every one
5:22 pm
hospitalized has underlying health conditions. and i got parson, she, me, kidney conditions or diabetes. but again, the vaccinations are very important and very effective for him out showing them the lim thought after so many waves of this disease. there's a sense of experience routine on this ward. and now newly authorized drugs can be given to patients early on. still after 2 years, it's not just hard for doctors and nurses to keep up. but for every one struggling with the new uncertainty that's replicating along with this latest variant. in a medical 1st you are surgeons, have successfully implanted a genetically modified pick heart into a human patient, a 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,
5:23 pm
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, 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 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 patients bodies rapidly rejected the animal organ. most countries rely on an opt in system for donation requiring express prior consent to
5:24 pm
use the organs of dead people in the usa alone, around $6000.00 people die every year, waiting for kidneys, hearts, or lungs. if there's a game changer, because a, you know, now and not a v will have these organs are readily available if you have their technique of a genetically modifying. so if they're more cute tweaking, required for, for modifying the genes, we can review 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 like to turn out to dr. young. him dinner from the free university berlin. he is a zeno. transplants expert, dr. a very we're welcome to d. w. news. is this a transformative moment?
5:25 pm
i think it is a great success in a city of transplantation is comparable with 1st transportation of for you will mark in that in 167 by kristen. we're not what is the biggest challenge in doing this kind of transplant is still super good, but the most important are the reject. it is important to have genetically modified fix. do you claim reduce the rejection of the big organ and you have to have excellent in the breast of drugs to prevent rejection. and this is the side of early years of work in both in the united states as well as in germany.
5:26 pm
germany is also. ready a consortium of scientists performing similar experiments in crime. and then the berlin is who, who, who you and dr. genetically modifying animals as you've just been outlining for us to use their organs, would obviously potentially be incredibly helpful for humans. but does that mean that it opens the door to a form of oregon farming and what are some of the ethical pitfalls? so i think it helps people do so by think we have a good life allowed to use the organs in future. the 1st experiment. oh, well then in future there will be more issues treated
5:27 pm
with doctor a your he met dinner is with the for university berlin. he is an xeno transplants experts. sir. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us. thank you. 2, you want to get every news, a reminder of the top story that we are following for you right now. european climate scientists have released a trauma. new report showing that the past 7 years have been the hardest 7 years on record by a clear margin used climate change service warrant. urgent action is needed to stop this trend. you're watching, you know we new stick with us up next year when use asia with through rush, banner g and for now, thanks so much for spending this part of your day with ah, with
