a high ranking hamas commander. i'm gonna call for lucian berlin, and this is the day the it is not a for me to here to building it is a funding aim to have to hit. what is the next bill? the protection of civilians on both sides is paramount and must be respected at all times. i've seen the images ending, detail, dramatic and painful. we need to and you mentioned cause we need a new mentoring ceasefire. we do believe that mandatory pauses could be of value. we have sustained deliveries of humanitarian assistance to the innocent civilians and 10 gaza spreading very much limited amounts and we need to really skin it up. also on the day, germany's president asks for forgiveness for his country's colonial era abuses
8:32 am
intends in the as we gentlemans, also need to face up to this history so that we can build a bright future together. the best of and so come phone, says jim and who's federal president. i want to ask for forgiveness, but want gentlemans date to your full fathers here, even for 5, and i'm get down. welcome to the show. it's good to have you with us. the rough i'll border crossing is guides us main and at this point, only lifeline to the outside world. after almost a month of siege, a 1st group injured or ill civilians and foreign nationals has been allowed to enter egypt, but they leave behind. they describe as how on earth no water, no food, no medicine, constant fear causes us how mos are on health ministries as this trips last functioning, cancer hospital has had to go out of service after running out of fuel. the vacuum
8:33 am
ease also leave behind over 2000000 thousands was no way of escaping the relentless bombardment and are left to hope for the best. whatever that may be. new or besetty, these were the lucky ones. some of the 1st foreign possible holders to reach the safety of egyptian soil on the other side, hundreds while hoping for that chance to cross. but only those on the list agreed by israel and egypt would be allowed to do so. often mold in 3 weeks under is rarely bombardment and located people here with desperate to escape to clean on. we are relying on gone and hoping we'll get out to our country and we shall sub for it for its destruction, for our friends and loved one. the entire families were destroyed and a race had all murdered. and if it weren't for what happened, we wouldn't leave automatically,
8:34 am
as well as those allowed to leave for good. a jeep smith ortiz have agreed to a small number of medical evacuations, with ambulances crossing the border to retrieve the severely injured ones in egypt, they were taken to nearby hospitals. the treatment garza's own medical facilities are desperately showed of even basic supplies and overflowing with the injured n y a more a trucks were allowed through once again on wednesday, a group say it's certainly a tiny fraction of what entity daily before the how much terrorist attacks the head of the un relief agency in gauze the stress, but residents were an urgent need off the he crossed into rafter for a visit and that was checked by the fact that everyone that was asking for food was asking for water. we, i,
8:35 am
so almost every children trying to express their way that they need to eat anything as of true relief for the civilians and gaza, or whether it's a limited release and it's unclear whether it's a one off or not from what we've picked up so far. that there will be limited openings for limited time periods, which means that this may happen again, but the number of people to benefit were remain rather small. if you look at the overall population of garza, that is stock. uh, you know, as is where continues its, the operation the so it is really such a need, but how many times will the border open the how long and how many people would be able to get out is unclear and it's expected taskbar to remain small, small of that guitar has been positioning itself as a key player in the negotiations between either between how mosse and israel,
8:36 am
how key have they been in securing this development specifically as well. this development not too keen, i would say, i think there are 3 strands to the negotiations that are all going on or in future are expected to happen. one is, and most important is full of people have guys to get a basic aid that is happening between israel and egypt to come off. because egypt is the only country that does a has a border crossing. an opening with the other is hostages. this is perhaps a for me, is really perspective the most crucial. that's the one that's got the iris meetings and this specific one. i don't think a piece of need and he will if you'd ask me in the progress long term talks and oh, sees fine and to put in during ceasefire, that perhaps go back to play a role if somebody wants to. but even though we see egypt is, is, is, is
8:37 am
a competitor. mm hm. i want to keep looking at the role of katara here though, because it is a very interesting player. it is extremely close to a moss and skipping uh their, their political branch a bases their, their funding them in part. they have in fact, exclusively blamed israel for the massacres on october 7. so in to what extent israel really willing to work with them here as well. just because i top r is playing a very, very important role and has a huge, huge amount of leverage over from us. now whether it is exercising that leverage or not, we are not very clear because that's well only for hostages have been released. there are these 240 hosted as the last number that we are aware of. so cut off has huge influence. alarm us is really some aust, cut off to use it or is it using it you got from us?
8:38 am
is office that which means how much does leadership is that in the, in that office and they're not just sitting and having cups of tea, but they're actually meeting with the union bates and they meeting with also so that allies, the planning things could use its influence it is hosting the how much this office it sends millions and aids in age to a goes every this money goes to is random is read, knows where it is going, but it is going to goes up to support of the people of guys, up lots of these really have long suspected, then others have said that a bond with this money goes to her mazda or at least sustains how mazda is government. a governance, it's bureaucracy that so far has huge influence. thus far. it says it is trying to get the hostages released, but only full wants to just have been released. is this kind of right now, i think from what i've gathered, playing the role off. well, you know, it's bossing messages. it's saying uh is where needs to stop funding garza so how
8:39 am
much can gather all the hostages and then send at least the civilians back to is right. and because it's valid and stopping the bombing of the taskbar, of all the up, it was, it is, i'm not being released. so that's it. i think what, what is really doing is sort of conveying what, how much wants to as well and what has been wants to, how much. but if perhaps john plays a bigger role. mm. do you think a release of all civilians that how mazda is currently holding is in the cards? this is the top picked up. well, i've been talking to and this is elizabeth negotiations, ongoing negotiations, and yes, civilians could be released. i know by her boss, if for, if it stops or agrees to a ceasefire, which has not happened, this law over this talk that, that might be, those is humanity. the bose is, remains to be seen. but the message that we're getting from the, uh is that to her mom's has agreed to at least we're done civilian hostages,
8:40 am
but not on a is really is on an exchange rom disability at once its own palestinian prison is up, all of them released. so just, just to be clear, you're saying that guitar is a major player, egypt as well. uh, katara wants to come out on top. of course, what's the image for them though, to what they want to be a big class and google do baltic. this is one of the richest countries in the water with one of the highest per capita incomes. and 3rd largest gas preserves. they've had the are they boosted the other is a sucker um world cup and other sporting tournaments and you know, they, they were in one night, again when a europe cut over a sudden, uh, a gas supplies after the of the rushes degrading amazing and drop out as a lot of gas, so you know, they wants to play or they want to be prominent and this around it by very this
8:41 am
wrong. but the big multiple intervention were much more prominent a neighbors and they've kind of feel that they might be undermined that authority, the authority of the small kingdom, small, very valid thinking to might be under, undermine, and at the they want to secure that skill. they place and just to be clear, i'd like to clarify one thing. your egypt has a different role to play. categories are essentially looking at boosters, negotiations, whereas egypt from what i picked up plays a bigger role when it comes to an enduring ceasefire. oh, when it comes to the passing of age, a visa 2 different negotiations. fascinating insights, though, as i saw more of the foreign policy magazine joining us from televi. thanks for your time. the loss here is the un climate change conference in egypt delivered a story break through. after years of wrangling, governments agreed to a loss and damages fund. it was meant to provide financial assistance to the country's most vulnerable and impacted by the effects of climate change. the
8:42 am
details, however, were left for later. now, there are warnings that the plans might be close to falling apart. preparations are already underway for this year's comp, 28th climate talks in dubai in december. but there's still no agreement on what a loss and damages the fund would look like. who run it, who'd pay, who'd pay what and who would benefit from it. last gas talks on rescuing the projects are now scheduled for later this week. and we can speak now to rachel cletus. she is the policy director for the claimant of energy program at the non profit union of concerned scientists. and i gather that you are very concerned about the loss and damages fund. welcome to the day. so really, how worrying is this, that there doesn't seem to be an agreement on the table about what was seen as a huge breakthrough. yes,
8:43 am
has been very concerning. although throughout the year of there has been a group called a transitional committee that has been meeting to sketch out the details of how to get this loss of damage fund up and running. meanwhile, we see an extraordinary extreme climate influx around the world this year. let's remember, it's been a record setting you're built in terms of heats, as well as floods and wild fires. all of those things hitting the poor as people in the world hardest. and yet this transitional committee ended its last meeting last month in disarray. there was no agreement on details and so they're both together, this emergency meeting, which is going to be on the 3rd and 4th of november in upper darby. and this is a last ditch effort to pull together recommendations to take to call 28, and hopefully operationalize this fund called 28. this is an extreme necessity both for the people in the front lines of this crisis. but it's also really important for cross building and goodwill to secure other outcomes that are needed at this
8:44 am
golf. yes, we still need to bend that emission score. so securing an ambitious agreement there to let's, let's picked us apart because negotiators have had a year to hospice out, who exactly slamming on the brakes here as well. unfortunately, the united states and several developed countries have held a pretty hard line that they want this fund to be located in the world bank. we're just feel really out of touch with what the needs are a frontline communities. the world bank is a lending institution. it's a donor driven, richard, country driven institution. it's not set up with this governance or explain will to serve the needs off of low and middle income countries were facing those dark climate crisis. and they are calling for an independent body with its own democratic governance. that's answerable to the call on not answerable to the whims of the ritual countries. not was one of the key reasons the last meeting broke down
8:45 am
. the other is, who has access to the funding and who will pay into those funds. there's an emerging consensus that the money can come from multiple sources. but the ritual countries whose he trapping emissions are responsible for the bulk of the climate crisis right now that they need to take responsibility and take the lead and providing funding alongside money from philanthropies, from pollution levies, and also other countries who might be willing to or in a position to contribute, but again, there's just been this effort to minimize and evade responsibility of, and that has to shift very quickly. so we are urging the united states in particular to change its foster ahead of this next foundational committee meeting. so we can get a break through there is we are looking at voluntary contributions here though, does, does it make sense at all? is anybody going to jump in there for you to choose in what way and if at all? well, this is the framework we have the you and have triple c is not
8:46 am
a world government. it does rely on government stepping up to work in solidarity to contribute in a fair way. and unfortunately on, in terms of climate finance with large developed countries are just again and again fully well assured. so that is a concern, as this one gets launched, will it be resourced quickly at the scale that's needed because the needs are acute and they're growing in many parts of the world right now. and what does this back and forth and this, this bickering over details really also tell us about the commitment of the international community and especially the big polluters and the richard countries . what does it tell us about their commitments to saving the climate and to helping other people or other countries bear the brunt of what they are largely responsible for? well, this has always been a collective action challenge, and it's only going to work if each country steps out to do its part. so the united
8:47 am
states as a stay care to we, to our feeling the brand of climate impacts and the united states. we can solve those problem on our own and to solve and collectively we're going to have to show goodwill. so that in return other nations to will do that part. like i said, the emissions go that keeps going up. that's also increasing loss damage around the world. so investing in clean energy, accelerating that clean energy transition around the world and funding it, especially for developing countries. that's a responsibility on richard nations. and if they failed to meet it, we will all collectively lose grasp of cherish climate goals. so this is a moment to step up beyond parochial interests and come together to get agreement at maybe just a yes or no answer climate active as of long criticized that comp and the agreements reach there are a forest, are they right? no, they're not. this is the only legitimate body with every country,
8:48 am
even the smallest small island nation has a voice, and that's why it's a space worth preserving those. rachel cletus of the claim with an energy program of the union of concerned scientists. thanks so much. thank you so much for having me. the germany's dark colonial past is a chapter. the country has long been accused of not owning up to between 1884 and the end of world war one. germany held territories across the continent and the african continent, including in modern date, townsend, mia now germany has asked townsend mia to forgive the crimes committed under its colonial rule. for when president signed by the stine meyer, wrapped up a visit to the country, saying he was ashamed of past crimes and atrocities. some good intends in this. the jam and president laid a wreath of a mass grave of africans who died when germany was the colonial ruler. here. during
8:49 am
the mug, emoji uprising from 19 o. $5.00 to $19.00 o. 7. up 230-0000 people were brutally murdered with the defendants of some of the victims. listening starting my offer, the message of reconciliation. that's what i see, i can say is what happened here as positive as shed history, the history of your full fathers and the history of a full fathers in germany. oh, your thoughts we gentlemans also need to face up to this history so that we can build a brighter future together, the best 7. so con phone says jim and is federal president. i want to ask for forgiveness, but won't gentlemans date to your full fathers? here even for 5 and i'm good time have never before has the gym and later, given such a clear statement of regret for the crimes committed to stein, maya visited the museum ways. records that painful history,
8:50 am
including hangings and the headings. he sat down with defendants of those killed, some of whom are seeking the return of human remains stolen by jim, and i couldn't get any run, but it's very important for then go ne, the locals here and for africans generally that when someone is buried, you don't just bury the bones. the head is very important for the time i said he would help trying to locate the sky live chief, some gambling, a tribal lead, an executed by the germans in 19 o 6. you will be hoping that promise and his words of regret for the past, for the step towards working through rooms largely for golf named gemini, is still a source of pain, intends in the german a rule and has a neo lasted for just over 30 years, up to the end of the 1st world war,
8:51 am
at the berlin conference of $1885.00 european powers carved up the african continent between them and germany declared, it's right of colonies in west africa. german east africa however, was not part of that deal though it was seized in the same year. the colony covered the mainland areas of what is now townsend, mia as well as barone, d, rwanda, and a small part of mozambique. you can see there on the map, resistance by africans was often met with brutal suppression. in recent years, times in the us government has called on germany to negotiate reparations for crimes committed under colonial rule of defendants of tribal leaders executed by german colonial forces or calling for the skulls of their leaders to be returned. long email, the leader of the child got tribe lead resistance against the germans and was killed as a result. his goal is one of several believe to be in
