6:01 pm
i'm feel welcome to the program. israel is coming under increasing pressure from key allies over its war and gaza after months of storage support us. president joe biden has criticized that is right on tuesday for the cold, indiscriminate bombing and gaza votes in the un. general assembly also indicates as males, growing isolation as countries overwhelmingly back to resolution demanding immediate, you might a terry of cx 5, but a val says it will persist with it's at ground, defensive games, thomas. but she's classified as a tentative group by numerous countries and organizations, including the us and the european union. there was celebration of the un ceasefire resolution paused with more than 3 quarters of the general assembly voting and save the on the desk. and this is rails, you and,
6:02 pm
and basset to head all the before the vote. the resolution would only benefit a mass, but just a handful of countries joined israel and it's closest ally the us and voting know hasn't been adopted. today was a historic day in terms of the power for the message that was sent from the general assembly. and it is or conductive duty to continue in this pass until we see and then through this aggression against our people. while the vote in new york demonstrates much of the world once in the end to the fighting, these riley government seems determined to press on. it is repeatedly ruled out ending military operations until all the hostages and calls it a fried, and a mass dismantled. that's despite thousands of posting and casualties and the increasingly dia, humanitarian situation. but those trent within the besieged territory.
6:03 pm
these a trucks entering the southern city of rafa from egypt or causes lifeline. but far too few, i'm making it through on tuesday, israel said it would facilitate more a deliveries by starting to check a trucks of the car. i'm shalom checkpoint before the mass terrorist attacks on october 7th, most goods and to garza via this is really crossing. now israel says convoys will only be inspected, occur amish alone, and will still have to enter from egypt. will stay from ryan and his rapid deployment court today. so with the international red cross committee, he joins us from dasa. welcome to the w, i can we start with your assessment of the situation in the territory at the moment, as well, the situation, 50000000, tearing god. they continued to remain
6:04 pm
a living mazda there. last night there was a strong wind and rain in which 10000 people or more living in tents or under caustic. she's in a situation is extremely difficult for families who are trying to look up to their, their children and for people who don't have access to enough food, enough water, enough shelter, and genuinely, it's really a really difficult situation for people here. another venue and humanitarian coordination of a full, gaza says almost hall of attaches, population is now in rockville. that's hundreds of thousands of people. what are you saying that it was just over 10 days ago? it passed by one size, one location uh, not far from where i consider based. and i saw that there was a couple of dozen times. i taught by one week later a few days ago. and there was hundreds, if not more, certainly tens of thousands or hundreds and thousands of people are on the move
6:05 pm
here in gaza. and many of those people definitely won't even, but they're able to carry funds in that situation like that. come very basic. i can become the most valuable a mattress a blank because maybe a negroes supply of foods. and when they arrive new places, they're already very, very crowded. there's not enough. nissan of cation for some of these people have to cooper for a long time to water. and nobody knows what you know is going to bring, certainly thing that there is efforts to bring in more assistance in regards to this. this is a positive development. the one of the things that we're deeply concerned about is or ability to meet the growing needs that are going by the hour and to be able to reach people who are not in law. certainly, there are still many more people civilians who are projected under international humanitarian know who are outside of welcome. and we also need to make sure that the international organizations, such as the international community, direct costs and any other variable to work here,
6:06 pm
are able to provide assistance these people in say to them, what if i can continue? stephan extremely difficult. all right, i, i, the problem one of many i do is, is, is that the, i just had to, to be able to, for international humanitarian organizations to be able to work in safety. so he basically timeframe your ability to do your job under these base address that's. that's a you yourselves for you in and change it or well, certainly the international commission, the red cross is no stranger to working interpreters, environmental impacts. the very basis of a work is helping people who are affected by complex civilians, no matter who they are, no matter where they are. and of course, the engage with all of the price you can sign up to remind them that we are a neutral organization. that has nothing to fix on our goal is to try and provide it to civilians before and just what they need to do this. we need to have access to do to, to reach the place where they are going to ensure that i,
6:07 pm
if they both to do code so that we can continue doing this job to mall. parties to come take, need to understand and to respect that the role of the red cost is to house to billions. it's extremely difficult for us to do that. and these conditions on this thing with a israel says it's working to expand shipments of humanitarian aid into stuff and gaza of the higher on d w. we have the an idea of spokesman who was blaming how mass for not opening the palestinian side of the rafa crossing of what do you see a lift him up onto? i'm like we see a relief trickling into gaza at the countries of not amazing to me that's are meant definitely any efforts that are going to allow more age to come into guys that are going to be welcome. but there's no limit to the amount of days it's going to be needed here. people are attackers, there isn't enough terms. there isn't enough water. and the reason stay capacity in
6:08 pm
organization, couple of hours to be able to respond to those needs. these conditions. when we certainly welcome anything that's going to speed up the delivery of aging together, there needs to be an approach which enables us to deliver that aid quickly and to where it's needed most another not limited to just run through at southern god. because wherever civilians are, they are protected under international humanitarian law. an organization such as though it's want to be able to provide this, need to be unable to do so by the parties in the complex, okay. and of course, we again appealed to all state to use their influence to make sure that we are able to do our job, and that the parties to the conflict allow it to do. so. thank you for joining us. as steven ryan of the international airbag cross committee, thank you. as well as the old night talks at the un global climate conference into by countries half. now agree to deal that calls for transitioning away from all
6:09 pm
fossil fuels. from 200 countries signed up to the confidence declaration after lots of debates are on the wording on draft accusations of interference from fossil fuel industries. despite the compromises, the final bill has been described as a major step forward and the fight against climate change has started be reached. the un climate conference delegates agreed that fossil fuels have got to go to keep up efforts to get to know more than one and a half degrees of global warming by the middle of this century. fossil fuels are by far the biggest driver of human and used climate change. we have given it beautiful bus action plan to keep 1.5 within reach. it is a plot that is led by the science. it is a balance of that that goes images. many world leaders
6:10 pm
present at the summit, see it as a milestone. power for mine as i this is a day of great joy. many people across the world have worked tirelessly to achieve this research. in job i, tense. it was no easy feat. the agreement came after hours of overtime negotiations and the device summit, some parties were opposed to the woods phase, out being included in the the phrase was eventually replaced with transitioning away from fossil fuels. some plan with activists feel of disability too late to texas. it is now it's still a death sentence for the pacific. we can celebrate the small incremental changes, but there is not enough done in the to adjust the root cause of the comic process, which is the extraction of fossil fuels. there's not enough in the to address the phase that a fossil fuels and we cannot continually come here and celebrate just the pain of that is given to our region. other critics of the deal say it does not impose
6:11 pm
enough responsibility on goods, countries to good fossil fuel use and provide stability support to low income nations that did not stand in the way of going through a straight to do by then. well, we can join our correspondent leon nissan. how much don? welcome, leona. inevitably this is a compromised deal, but that's, that doesn't look like the end of the use of fossil fuels. the biggest source of carbon emissions. know exactly. it's pretty clear that fossil fuels are going to play a role in our energy assistance in the future to, i mean, many have criticized that the tax left many loopholes room to wiggle, especially still preserving a space for unabated coal power in the future. i'm a roof, you know, for transition so called transitional fuels, which is coach for natural gas. and that also was criticized. but it's only addresses fossil fuels in the energy assistance, but not in other areas of industrial production. but still, you know,
6:12 pm
many see those really as a steps towards a clean or a future. and the commitments are triple of renewable energy by 2030, to double energy efficiency. and sort of just the understanding on the science that this is really the critical decades for action. um and you know, 2 hundreds of countries sort of agree to that. that here is seen by many as in storage step after all, but i mean, we do always have to look at the big picture. these are words on paper disagreement as non binding. so it really will depend on the implementation on implementing these words into concrete policies. for people to, to really feel like if this is his company, the difference or not? right. okay. so $200.00 countries have agreed to what was the, essentially a boiled down compromise deal. i guess behind the scenes and lots of people have lots of different views on this deal. yeah,
6:13 pm
exactly. it was interesting because right after it was, uh, it was past, you know, there was this overwhelming sense of relief that an agreement was reached at all after 2 weeks of where you had fortunately, calculations, after sleepless nights after reading week draft proposal left many wondering you know, writing off comes almost writing off cup $28.00 altogether and but obviously we spoke to exodus. we spoke to some of the pacific delegates were really disappointed . save this was too little too late. um. and that the science is pretty clear. and i mean, obviously the stakes are pretty high after you know, a year that is set to be the hottest on record. but then a lot of veterans service of time conference is also told me that's including this language on fossil fuels, on a transition away from fossil fuels, was unthinkable years ago. and that's at the end of the day. it happened here and do buy it in oil, producing nations surrounded by other nations. and that's the least um,
6:14 pm
that it does has sent a signal that fossil fuels are or not the future and that the future lies in renewables. and i would really depend also on finance to the developing nations. that's what the developing nation delegates told me, you know, whether this transition can actually happen, what, whether they will get the financial resources to make this happen. so everybody agreed, there is a lot of work to be done. i say on the phone, how much time in dubai. enjoy each a group to is co chad of the us commission. the commission is a global team of scientists with admission to the find a safe and just to colorado for people on the planet to welcome to the w professor . if the well doesn't take a phase out to fossil fuels completely, can we still reach the pirates of piracy agreements? 1.5 degrees celsius warming limits up. it would be very difficult. it's never possible to get to actually 0,
6:15 pm
but we should do all our absolute best to try to face it out as quickly as possible . in fact, the buyer's agreement actually says that is one of the statements of the also recognizes that if you want to get to 1.5, then you'll have 2 degrees. your admissions by 43 percent, but for the 30 and 60 percent by 2035 in relation to 2019. and that's a really huge amount off. well the countries have to do so, although it doesn't say something stronger than old. so recognizes this good i will said the sites that we need to um it basically shows that if you want to get to $1.00, it's not going to be easy, right? and so, just so as far as i understand it, as far as those, those milestones go on a conference trajectory, we will miss them is, am i correct in that? yes. okay, that's what you're going to visit on, not com and accept 3. and even if the sub statements are made in this agreement,
6:16 pm
so you, what you see is you see a lot of how strong content, but you see no words such as decides. um, the countries are obliged to write was going to do want nothing. bottom fact is that right? a token. so one of the big disagreements that capt delegates are given gust through the night based difference between phasing out fossil fuels or transitioning away from that. a bad use. explain to us the difference and why that masses, as i guess facing our fossil fuels, is simply stopping the use of fossil fuels today and not constructing new infrastructure to take our new fossil fuels. so 70 percent of the remaining fossil fuels are the global cells and much of it has not yet been used, or there is already a lack of infrastructure that to use that fossil fuels. so when you're talking about of phasing off fossil fuels, you're talking about stopping all investments with respect to fossil fuel. making
6:17 pm
sure that everybody uses energy that is coming from another source. this is different from moving away a transitioning away because that allows for a more gradual shift, right? upgrade to a shipping cost is much more just then a rapid shift bids. and this is the, the, one of the big arguments around this comp, i in dubai, in this oil producing nations. what's your assessment? did the oil producing states when this one novel they steal? i don't think so. i think i'm really pleased at what fossil fuel was in this deal, and i'm also very pleased at the book 1.5 game over and over again in this deal. and this means that even though the fossil fuel exporting countries um, trying very hard to um, sabotage,
6:18 pm
this kind of an agreement stuff. but the pressure, the pressure of other governments was so strong that they were never meant suppose to do this. so they have taken care of course, of the woods in the text of all the worlds and much more gentle. but i think that was also in the interest of most countries in the world. i can most western countries, i'm not yet ready to phase out fossil fuel. and i, there is a developing well, so that is my body. is that because it just in such um, a non binding language, the terms is all the countries ignored. but on the other hand, if you take the sustainable development goals, the 20 said to agenda that was also um a non. d ending agreement for the country sort of seems to take it most seriously. so there's a very good whole that the countries take the seriously. i think that's what you have to do that. all right. thank you so much, professor professor, joy as a group to co chair of the of commission. thank you. we'll
6:19 pm
take a look at some of the headlines that from around the world. there was not a poland, which has a new prime minister donald to us has been sworn in the head of a pro european coalition government. and in 8 years of populist rule is to tell us because promised to restore opponents position in the un to for the back the west support of ukraine. a tropical cycle in jasper has slammed into northeast and australia, bringing torrential rains and leads and thousands without pallet, officials and warnings, life threatening conditions, and urging residents to take precautions. there are no reports of interest. then each 5 minutes to mete, frederick said his pledge $1100000000.00 of additional military aids to you cried, announcement came during a meeting between the attack, retraining presents and what it can be this in the norwegian capital also that's a package will be presented to the things problem to the 2nd and the european
6:20 pm
commission is unlocked around 10000000000 euros in funds. the hungry european union officials have said the reforms carried out by prime minister to old bonds. government in compliance with you because you had frozen the money and concerns that to this what was being done to uphold the rule of law. brussels is hosting the rate of 6 western bulk of nations today to discuss the prospect's of e u membership. among them, a cost of i would say very strange relations have been a stumbling block and already taken up 10 years of negotiations with the the conflict of costs of what was independence is the rest of the kinds longer running flash product for serbian comfortable, however, it is also a stumbling block on that. pause to the european union. well, solving the conflict of course would be very important for both countries because of course, without the normalization process, there will be no you membership for either of the 2 countries. so for either serbia
6:21 pm
or cost of all costs or will you need let to early declared its independence from serbia in 2008. salvia does not recognize this ethnic. albanians comprised the majority of cost of those roughly one point. 8000000 people serves the majority in northern crossover and remain largely lawyers to bad, great of softer, more than 10 years of un talks between bag. right. and christina, an agreement in principle, was reached at the beginning of the year since then. implementation has stalled. there is very little movement, quite to the contrary. we are facing costs, hopefully some crises that pops up, especially north of kosovo. and this is the, this other spot because we are trying. and the only ones who are paying the price for it. i don't know people in brussels, i'm not peopling the members things, but ordinary people in coastal, any sort of tensions have recently intensified again this year. the northern region,
6:22 pm
of course i will experience some of the verse violin seen since the declaration of independence, the crime exposed to reach in september. been around 30, serbian government slashed with course of all police in the village up on sca leaving one policeman and 3 gunmen that v e u condemned this and called for justice and accountability mouthing of one of which things the incident changes the dynamic of the normalization process, so i think it's really more important than ever to work on on bringing those 2 parties closer to the negotiating table. because without negotiations we run the risk of further escalation. she thinks the you should put pressure on savvy a, to conduct an independent investigation. and on both parties to implement the agreement before the elections next summer. the topic is not officially on the
6:23 pm
agenda of a meeting between rest and ball come into you lead us. but it's likely to cost that shadow. hold what the discussions about for our correspondence. i do see that shorter than and brussels. welcome back to say a tell us more then about the huge reservations about to serbia and the cost of a succession. yes. so various countries in an hour, in a very different stage in the, in the process to become a new member. so costco is still a potential can do that. it does not even have candidates, statues, for serbia. they're already been negotiations about the new membership for over 10 years for cars over you also have to bear in mind that not all e u member states except that cost of a cause of, of statehood. so 5 member states do not recognize costs o s a state of the, or anything that seems quite tia here in brussels, is that for both countries, it is really important that the normalized fed relationships we have heard about this. you let talk, the u. s. been facilitating
6:24 pm
a dialogue between the 2 of them and they're, they're trying to push them to really get to an agreement to normalize their relationships, as i call the team process. because without that, it is not possible for neither of them to become a new member. anytime soon and also in the brussels q are full of, of bulk and countries, albania, and both. it has the gulf in the montenegro and north macedonia. a quick roundup of the problems that please to yes, so for most of them they negotiation process for become a new member has started except for boston yet and they had to governor their so rating for that we have for today. um, there are no decisions going to be taking at that meeting today. maybe let me say that as well there's, there's also a political input as today. you to show that the european union wants to see the best of all con botkin states among them. but there are no decisions taken yet, but nevertheless, to try michelle, here is the president of the european union counts. so he has said that he would like to see more reforms in the area of judicial independence and also
6:25 pm
a rule of law. and he has been saying, he said that before that he believes by 2030, the rest and ball comes will become a part of the european union. but this also depends on the member states. so this is not yet sure. and then of course, as you cry, and the issue has made lots of encouraging noises in the past, but what really keeps chances to serve for ukraine? it's also a bit of a different story for ukraine. we rate for decision tomorrow. if there should be a session talks with them. so um, excuse me, if there should be, um, if they should no exception trucks, excuse me. very good, confused here. um, so we have raging for those. the european union has been saying in november that they believe that they are ready for this. and now the u. heads of states have to have to give that go. there is one we heard about, which is behind gary and prime minister victor all on who apparently does not want
6:26 pm
to give hisco. and then you might call this a time the co incidence. i'm just now we have for that. hungary is going to get 10000000000 euros that has been blocked before by the european commission. and this is something that all on really wants and he needs the money from the european union. and now, as i said, it might be time to co incidence, but it might also difficult victo on a push to give his agreement for ukraine's negotiations to start with a european union, but that we will have to see tomorrow. okay, thank you for that. let's see uh show to in brussels. thank you. it's just time to remind you of, of our top story at this hour. israel says it will continue with this defensive in gaza despite the huge majority of the un general assembly approaching for resolution. do you mind doing an immediate cease fire negotiators? if it comes to interior deployments?
6:27 pm
