and that is the problem, they would need the support of the opposition party to do that. so your cookies hands are tied when it comes to any reform that we would want to see, especially for business or even for ordinary germans to pundits invited from data to the business. thank you so much. all right, let's take a quick look now some of the of the news making headlines around the world to sell police in most i'm big capital my prove to if i had to guess and weapons to dispose of protest of last month's disputed election, you have to have the vote extended building party funding those 5 decades in power, but instead of a say it was rate according to human rights groups, at least i think people have been killed in crackdowns since that is why the strikes hit beverage southern suburbs early on this day including one on a site adjacent to living on the international airport. it's rarely mandatory said there were, has the facility stay in the east and living on the countries helped ministry said 14 people killed in his by the strikes on wednesday and rescue as were coming. the

a string of swing states have respect to his opponents like wednesday for the 1st time. since for the fate i heart is full today, my heart is full today. full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me full of love for our country and full of resolve. the outcome of this election is not what we wanted. not what we fought for. not what we voted for. but hear me when i say hear me when i say or the lights of america's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up. and as long as we keep fighting, the new

folks are feeling in experiencing a range of emotions right now. i get it, but we must accept the results of this election. earlier today, i spoke with president electronics and congratulated him on his victory. i also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition, and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power. donald trump will return to the us presidency at a time of the widespread conflict and uncertainty in the world from ukraine to the middle east and the asia pacific. he has vowed to fix it all. let's take a look now at once it stay. donald trump has declared, he'll end the conflicts raging around the world. his decisions will reset battlefields and borders. they said he will start a war. i'm not going to start

a webinar stop wars. on ukraine's front lines. soldiers depend on american weapons, kia has received the 10s of billions of dollars in usaid and weaponry. but trump says he thinks washington is paying too much. one of the things that are, is very bothersome to me is the fact that europe is paying only a small fraction of the money that the united states of america is. bank. ukrainian president followed me as a lensky sort candidate, trump support for his victory plan. but was told to expect a negotiated solution. so we have a very good relationship. and i also have a very good relationship as you know, with president. and i think we're waiting to get it resolved right quickly. vice presidential like j events, wants to cost a to kias on to his proposed piece deal. ukraine would give up territory to most go and a band and is nato ambitions. what we're going to take care of israel and they know

that in the middle east, the trump is signaled strong, ongoing support for these riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and he's war against him. us in gaza. in a campaign debate, trump said the us should let him finish the job and is lost to him. he please nothing yahoo! by moving the us embassy to jerusalem and recognizing its antics ation of the disputing, golden heights now is legal. israeli settlers in the west bank hoping for a similar support. israel is also expected to seek trump's backing forward, increased pressure on iran. i mean, the fact is, i've done more for israel by far than any of the presidents. not even 12 been tie one fears, a brewing of a transfer fuse or to commit to defend the island against the possible chinese invasion. in an interview, he said taiwan should pay us for defense. tie one doesn't give us anything. but

we're trying to stepping up its military exercises around, ty, one trump, is pointed to economic rather than military tactics. telling china if you going to tie one, i'm going to text you. trump has already singled a trade war with china, threatening to impose terrace of 60 percent on all its goods. he says chinese president, seizing ping won't do anything provocative, because he thinks trump is crazy. but even washington is, allies are now wondering how trump will react in a world of un result conflicts lever to yet in the chair, which is head of the transform at chatham house. so i have to about what she expects from trump's approach to you cry. i think it's very emblematic in general drum statements on the combined frail and otherwise he, uh, it makes both statements without much explaining what it means. although he says he

has leverage over your credit and russia and will be able to put both sides of the table to be honest, um, in europe and in key of uh, this is stephen with big skepticism and fee, or the ukraine may become a collateral damage of the great powerful ethics or just the super see that uh, president trump has to be the, the russian leader, poor team. and he may try to either, please him sway him. i thought he is the alliance against china was simply a threatened to withdrawal military aid from ukraine. and you russia free boss of taking more territory? yeah, so trump thinks he's got delivered to the person. do you think putting would agree, how involved and do you think putting a will be with trump in the white house? so could be slow switch and stretches. you as always be, as she's failing uh on the you know, to take significant territory and to subjugate the key is to add,

surely split. the western unity on support for you. craig and prom bc's best bet that the transatlantic alliance within a tool and between your view analyzed and united states will crack on what is the old demo and game of the russian invasion and ukraine. so i think he will be in bold is to try more aggressive military campaign. as we see with the enrollment of north korean troops. he has been launching severe, drawing a tax on the capital of give him the last week every day and every night. so there's a lot of pressure mounting all over ukraine, and he wants to convince tom that this was not winnable for ukraine, even with american banking. so why would he is the new president of united states maintain build strategy and that is the danger. so the next question thing, do you see the us pulling its financial support, the ukraine on the trump?

so it's possible, i think at this point, us as provided about 70000000000 of military to ukraine, which is roughly twice more than the european allies and the that's a the significance of what is his prom venza and he is vice president j. devonne said that the landscape shouldn't be coming to washington getting a free, you know, 1000000000. so if aid, it's possible that the relationship will change in towards more, you know, transactional meaning you credit will be able to borrow and buy american weapons you from decides. and that's what he wants to do, but clearly it will be shaping in the way how financial military assistance is provided. yeah, trump says here of his paying a fraction of what the us has given to you crime that year. it's actually allocated more according to the key institute and it could amount to almost double. if you include count pages, how damaging would it be to you?

trans defenses. if trump pull support and could, you can save up, they feel like that's as it is true, that europe is providing in the nominal terms even more than united states. because europe provides a lot of financial assistance to keep you creating an economy of load them to be able to support social payments and actually partially as financing ukrainian military to fight the war. so if america pulls out is being one of the largest militaries in the world with quite significant still stalled in what's your us can provide it? well, um, actually we can ukraine down defenses and i'll be good leads to the crumbling of the front line in the east for us because of the type of assistance that america is providing. and that includes infantry vehicles, hallways, there's rocket launchers, all that is so much needed for the land war that you grade 5 and ad defense is to

protect the cities. essentially, germany is providing more but united states is number 2, a supplier of a defense or to the tribute from chatham house. thank you so much. i or the full, we got a ramada about top stories. this out. germany's governing coalition has collapsed after chance of shots find his finance minister salts as cold for a comfortable confidence, but raw the empowerment in mid january and early elections could be held by the end of march, the 9 opposition to say to you and c, s. u, like next week at the latest vice president come of the house has addressed support is for the 1st time since losing to donald trump. and tuesday's election. harris promised a smooth transition to the new administration and a peaceful hand of your up to date of next to march. and i looked at what i mean,

a credit diversity among animals and plants that's coming up after shop. right. well said, no news at the top of the hour, and if you need more in the interim, you can get override as needed. some information around the clubs on our website, the street found a d, w dot com stay with the

the hunting for treasures in the motion. scientists are diving into

a world of endless possibilities which animals or plants might cure diseases. which raw material might souls, our energy problems? see treasures, and how researchers hope to find them tomorrow today, the next on d. w. answer, the conflicts owned among the many was around the world. the concept to through don, is distinguished by as a level of savagery. i guess in brussels is formal parameters of the honda who heads and coalition political from civil society groups. they're trying to bring peace stars. i'm framing. what would it take to step to bloodshed and unify this shot of the country. the

. i want to tell you something in today's me, my house i was shot. i never saw. that is what happened to me. many people here to can you about it for the very 1st time. leaving here in ireland, living with h a, b space, a lot of discrimination. raising awareness of h r d and on and we're stuck in this cycle. shane assignments, we need to break out of a. i want to tell you something how to tell the secret starts november 29th on dw, the you are what you each, each cell and your body is made from molecules taken from broken down food. and it's also the source of the energy that keeps you alive,

but feeding is about more than just nutrients. food is also culture. what we eat has a lot to do with where we come from, and the groups we belong to. however, stories about food and about who want how and why we'd like to. we can also spread racist stereotypes that topic and much more coming up on dw science show. welcome to tomorrow. today there is absolutely no way in the world that black folks only express how people are making decisions about what they're eating. a lot of times and we think about the foods of especially who i folks we often point to all they're just eating some food. and so the actual decisions are essentially a mass. according to the narrative and slaved africans in the americans were only

given scraps to eat, the part of a peg that whites didn't want what's called awful years snouts tales and entered. the story goes that in slaves, people often use hot spices and sugar to make these parts tasty or, or deep fried. done. this is like that still exist today, but they're generally viewed as bad for your health and belong to a causing cult whitley referred to as sole food. we have eaten a variety of food. so that whole scraps, narrative is one that really capture just sort of 18 hundreds to 18. 65 at the end of enslavement. probably a traveler's account that solved blackbox getting awful for the leftovers or the in trails that absolutely is not the whole of african and african american diet.

psyche williams force and wrote a book entitled, eating while black. she's a professor of american studies at the university of maryland. when you have people who are repeat those narratives without knowing the history or you repeat the, the stereotype. another stereotype is that black people loved to eat water, melon and chicken back in 2008. when for rock, obama was 1st elected us president, a caricature circulated online at the white house, with a huge watermelon patch on the front lawn. there was nothing to do about it, it was absolutely a racist true. its roots can be found in the post slavery here, right in the us when some black people sold watermelons to earn money. a slice resembles a wide smile, which is how black people were often for trade. always grinning, always happy,

always wonderfully delighted to be in servitude to point folks. we were accused of being watermelon. darkies, shrieking, stealing darkies. that narrative goes all the way back to enslavement when we were often accused of stealing chickens. but stereotypes, the size of another discussion is going on. statistics showed that black people in the us are more likely to be over weight, and they suffer from heart disease and diabetes. more often than whites or latinos . an unhealthy diet is usually blaine, one rich in foods high and fat and sugar like sol, food, or fast food. yeah, i think one of the things that motivated me to do this research. this was this disquiet, this conversation about health disparities stripe. sociologist joseph includes the

junior, wrote his dissertation on the black population in jackson, mississippi. and i wanted to know how black people up and now the social economic letter and make decisions about what they i started with people who are homeless. i spent all my days with them. i think what they age. i only age when they a and then after 3 and a half months through connections that i made, i moved up to people who are in poverty to 90. i had 2 children at the time, has 3 children. now, what i did was just spend time with an army and start to see what social structures she is experiencing. and then after 3 and a half months i moved up again to to the lower middle class. there was a family that had moved from washington dc to jackson, mississippi. and i moved up again. upper middle class. i sort of worked as a paralegal for a lawyer, a lady paralegal is too strong of a word. i sort of help her out in our office a little bit. if we think about the health conditions of black folks as the result

of the individual decision making, i think that's misplaced, if we think about that, most of it's just continuing things that happen in the past. i think that's also misplaced. the term food deserts is often used to describe areas where there's not enough healthy food available many times where socially disadvantaged people that were supermarkets offering fresh produce are far away. the scenario often goes hand in hand with an over supply of cheap, unhealthy offerings from fast food restaurants, such as that description apply to where people liked the non need a single mother lives. if we look at the ninety's put available to you by just drawing a circle around her address and seeing what kinds of grocery store is available or i don't think we will capture as much. this includes thinking about how she gets

housing. it includes how she thinks about getting the healthcare transportation. i think for me, food availability includes all of those things and we're able to think about her food, what's what, what she has access to as being related to these other structures. i think it gives us a lot more analytical put back to the topic of soul food, which doesn't just include ingredients like meat, fat, and sugar, but often also plant face to components like sweet potatoes, beans, k o and okra. foods popular among foodies today because they're considered healthy . it's a variety of foods that in combination would be most familiar to anyone who has southern group, but also an african american community. we helped to build the cords, dean, and the culinary legacies of the united states of america and globally.

there's absolutely no a we survived off of merely scratch. please don't reiterate the single store. one ingredient, commented cuisines, across the globe, potatoes in south america. the inc has cultivated different types of the important staple food, filling and vitamin rich tuber traveled from there to europe. with the spanish can piece the doors and the 16th century. today, there are thousands of varieties with a wide range of properties. however, only a fraction are approved for commercial cultivation. what happens when authorization expires? for one popular variety in germany, it's almost spelled the end. then farmers pushed back the 40 years ago after a cost and ellen bag took over his parents farm in germany. he switched to organic

production and the family business began focusing on potatoes. today. he's a well known specialist and the cultivation and preservation of old varieties of the tube, or 60 so far, hellen bag fights for potato diversity, trying to preserve, for instance, the popular linda variety, which was taken off the market gardens. what music is gone going to suddenly we were no longer supposed to grow them and get the breeder who owned the rights withdrew it and subsequent talks went nowhere could. so they said we should plan new variety. he says they'd be better and we said, but linda is great. the new varieties can't touch it as please come to des moines with money from the legal battle to get the linda variety reapproved lasted 5 years constant. ellen bag is unhappy, the situation, even the roads gather some food asides. what we, who decides what we grow as farmers come, that can happen. otherwise, we're just serving the food industry and we'll see the potato farmer views with

suspicion decisions made and brought souls where new you seed regulations are being negotiated. the law is 1st draft revealed how much influence the seed industry has . he says that the aim is to force out independent plant breeders to not be able to cut me off much more bureaucracy and higher expenses for smaller breeders who won't be able to cope and technical prerequisites to forcing selection pressure. among breeders, the small ones will give up, the large ones will increasingly take over the market, and that won't be good for either the seed farmers or consumers for the difficulties of the u. n's food and agriculture organization has long emphasized the importance of preserving old varieties. they are often more resistant to extreme weather conditions, diseases or insect passed. so they could play an important role in the add up taishan of agriculture to to climate prices.

magdalena plead represented the austrian organization caution. noah in brussels for a year. she observed and consulted during negotiations on the new seed regulations . yes. get get out of that. it's all about what will end up on our plates in the future, whether we prioritize taste, health and diversity, or instead place the future of our food supply in the hands of a few corporation, yell in the hand of vinegar concerning the pur. austrian association has an archive that stocks around $5500.00 varieties of vegetables, fruit grains, and legumes. their seeds are available to gardeners and farmers on request it's exports. we're also alarms last year when the 1st draft of the u commissions. new seed regulation was published. although everyone is talking about diversity in agriculture, it seems like it will achieve the opposite. the scene, i grow chemical companies that dominate the seed market and also the past aside

market and both are in the same hands. it seems now they're doing everything they can to get diversity out of sea loss. i'd like to put the thing in the draft would have prohibited the transfer and exchange of seeds from old varieties to farmers. only private individuals could have receipts them even public gene banks. would no longer have been allowed to distribute seeds, their pride of farmers to sell, or even just swap their own seeds with other farmers would also have been against the law. this would have had serious consequences for commercial farmers like constant ellen back who rely on diversity. dispensed good, it'd be a scandal and destroy jobs, free trade, food and seeds. it'd be a blatant monopoly of the industry, which would then determine worldwide what we're allowed to do that. but if that happened, i wouldn't want to be a farmer anymore. it'd kill me. the nickel, bring over 50 percent of all seed production worldwide is in the hands of just for

companies. although the market for old varieties is negligible, those companies are competition from seeds for varieties that can't be registered as perhaps they want to adapt agriculture to climate change with genetic engineering rather than through breeding on the sides. you, simon, but seeds from resistant varieties are able to adapt to climate conditions, to social conditions. and so they actually have super powers and just pushing these characteristics that already exist outside as part of this debate about to do like a few to 10 brussels. the industry has a host of lobbyists trying to obstruct and welcome competition. but the e u parliament's environment committee has backs the idea of c diversity. it's agriculture committee has also confirmed and fund conditional right to seat access for farmers. the restrictions were removed from the draft and the parliament

adopted an amended version. germany's fun farmer's association is welcome to the release of seeds from old varieties and recognizes the danger that corporations can seek to impose patented seeds on farmers and one apology because you're all set in mind. monopolies are always a problem for agriculture in don't. however, we're in a better situation in germany than in other places. we have a broad range of medium sized readers here that don't rely on patterns of structures or diverse and there are specialists. we want to preserve that and we have to create the conditions to do so. with that from somebody for systems. magdalena, plato is organization breed the sigh of relief. for now at least the you parliament's decision safeguards, the right of farmers to exchange seats. however, the industry lobby did prevail in one area, essential for saving, traditional and local varieties, bureaucracy, and seems besides hip and can and worst case scenario. small growers focused on

diversity could face more red tape and large corporations. if they offer a range of varieties, they could be overwhelmed by bureaucracy and forced out of the market. getting a final decision on the future of seeds will be made in brussels in 2025. but industrial agriculture continues to threaten the diversity that will be urgently needed in the future. small scale producers of old varieties like cost and ellen bag, say the battle is far from over. because what is right right now it's your turn. do you have a science question then send it to us as a video, text or voice mail? if we answer it in the show, you'll receive a little surprises. the thank you. go on. just ask this time, the question comes from santa kate, in zambia, the

why don't fish sing in water? many fish can float in one place without moving their friends much, and the ability is all down to their swim bladders. it's an oregon located in their trunks, a kind of sac filled with gas. without one a fish would sink to the bottom like a stove. that's because their bodies are dense or tense, heavier than the surrounding water. without a swim bladder, they'd have to constantly exert themselves to remain in the same place and the water call them. that'd be strenuous to swim. bladder allows of fish to equalize its weight without if the surrounding water. every 10 meters, water pressure increases by one kilogram per square centimeter. it's a fish swims up it's swim. bladder expands as the pressure of the water column

above it falls. so the fish grows more buoyant to keep from rising even higher. it has to release some gas to compensate this. on the other hand, a fish swims deeper to water, put, tracking on it rises, compressing this wind, bladder, its n must force more gas into the oregon in order to achieve neutral buoyancy with its surroundings. the principal works in the same way as a boy and see compensator by pumping air into a vast or releasing its divers can also float effortlessly at different depths. the swim bladder also serves to stabilize fish in the water. those that have problems with their swim bladder is often seen and balanced. swim chaotically or hang upside down. menu caught a legend as fish like raise and sharks have to remain in constant motion to avoid sinking to the bottom. instead of a swim bladder, they have light skeletons and very large livers that store lots of fat. because fat

is also lighter than water that helps keep them boy and the bottom dwelling fish like flab fish and more a heels also get by without swim bladders. that's because they don't have to adjust to changes in water pressure the, the oceans of home to many fascinating organisms. the deep sea in particular, is a real treasure trove. not only of rare plants and animals, but also of valuable raw materials. manganese non jewels found there, for example, contain metals urgently needed for the transition to sustainable energy and see, we carl's and shellfish contain active ingredients that could be repurposed as cancer, drugs or antibiotics. but is it right to just grab all the marine treasure? we can find a treasure hunt on the north sea

coast, with the search turn up anything valuable today? tyesha and the mo hope so the best best it's best if you find a ring or some gold jewelry. but coins would also be cool. and we also clean up and take all the bottle caps and other stuff back with us. no matter what the treasure hunters find, the search is always exciting the depths of the world's oceans. how's the hard beyond price much remains unexplored, but could one day prove very useful in fields like medicine. for instance, there's fast potential. we see it as a treasure of waiting to be discovered. there's a huge range of organisms in the oceans and overall much higher diversity than other land into the future. i was on lunch at the thinking back society and frank

for marines. who ology is one area of research. every year a known species are discovered and any of them could inspire new medicines. the tropical mangrove, c squared, for example, provided the active ingredient for a novel cancer drugs. the potential is enormous, promising new compounds are constantly being added to a growing list for them. so gums adult and despise one child example that's been in the limelight recently as the active ingredient and room desert video empties if it was originally isolated from the horn and silica spine and the 1950s. but i didn't know it's not from the guy on the drug gained fame. when it proved effective against coven, 19 colorado. and see we have had millions of years to develop defense mechanisms against enemies and disease. and we can put those mechanisms to good use compounds . they produce can, for example, inhibit inflammation,

have an anti microbial effect or protect nerve cells. these title mudflats are also a unique habitat. how's the treasure hunt going the most as you just have to be patient with the metal detectors, the 2 searchers are able to detect metallic objects up to half a meter down on the other side of the world and the depths of the pacific, the different treasure is stirring, desires, 4000 meters beneath the surface. primordial lumps cover the sea bed. manganese nodules could provide industry with some purch and clean needed resources. there's one guy that's going to have a tied in a cheese and manganese nodule. habitat into deep sea is special because they contain metals. we need for the energy transition of that and mainly cobalt and copper and nickel and or 5, but also lift the young bicycle from the crew for life to whom valid. so i'm,

i'm in there. um, and there's also it's a very specific courses and terms of these nodules provide, they are more guides knowing where some special fun on this a bad that without mind. and he has nodules wouldn't exist on him, on god's knowing, got his help. habitat for extraordinary creatures. one that our hunger for raw materials could completely destroy with unforeseeable consequences. studies show that mining the sea bed leaves the massive stars, deep sea echo systems struggle to recover. and the resource is far from inexhaustible effects made, and they grow just a few millimeters in a 1000000 years. and so a nodule, the size of my hand just between 5 and 10000000 years old. it's fossil raw material, just like oil and gas. vic, when it's gone, it will take millions of years to grow back and the specific you have

a task for the phone of the lives on us, not just the stuff that grows on it as the nodules are also a habitat for mobile font out. that'll also be gone for millions of years facing are true, they don't. yeah. there are still no clear regulations for extracting wrong materials from the deep sea doubts are growing as to whether the underwater destruction is worth it. mining nodules would only be profitable if prices for metals rise and no other substitutes are found. done present, inclined by for what at the end of the day is such a small contribution to the supply of raw materials is to cause such major and truly long term damage. i don't think that's responsible for those, for so are some treasures better left undisturbed. the

finally, the detectors sounds the alarm, but it can't tell whether a metal is valuable or not. that's part of what makes the hobby so exciting. be interesting. just another poll tab. this time. one positive side effect of the hobby is that the seekers also collect any metal waste. they fine for recycling marines while it just hold on just a year. it is on a completely different kind of treasure on so based insurance. on his expeditions, you finds new marine organisms every day. sometimes they're tiny, like these pieces of coral, or does it finish that goes to show that's the greatest treasure for me. that in the oceans of which, by the way, cover most of our planet took that 71 percent of our surface as water. and we're actually the blue planet and not planet ours. and then we depend on the oceans. but we still know so little about you can see and every time i go out there i find new

species and which is really satisfying, just to see how much our existence depends on the diversity of life. and the ocean is growing increasingly clear. it effects food wets. how materials are cycled. climate practically have refund to mental process on the planet. nothing works without the oceans and their inhabitants. north consented. 99 percent of the bio diversity on our planet is invertebrates and they make up the entire echo system on without them. the whole system would simply kalauia wasn't able to just as team of columbia and animals like crowds, snails and corals. those are the true treasures of the sea back to mow and the ice show looking for a more mundane sort of treasure. 8 hours after their search began, low finally strikes page arch,

smoke. a ring that even fits aisha. it has to be checked against loss property claims 1st, but it was still a nice end to the days. treasure hunt because finding treasure can make you happier to knowing. that wraps things up. thanks for watching and see you again next time on tomorrow. today. bye for now. the the,
