a landmark rolling that ordered the company to cut its carbon emissions. the news comes as the global climate conference gets underway in buck code as a bunch on the hello. i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. with again, with breaking news, we're getting reports that the government of chance for all s sholtes has reached agreement with the main opposition. conservatives on a date for early elections. the shots fired his finance minister last week leading to the collapse of his 3 way coalition for mrs. fields' originally wanted to hold a confidence about next january leading to a staff hole in march. but on sunday, somebody said it'd be open to calling their confidence. folks earlier following demands do, so i'm from the opposition of of 15 and see under trenton code so. so when will

germans be going to the polls? the w politics correspondent, matthew moore has more about the what are you hearing rights already? we're hearing the february 23rd looks like the most likely date. the germans will head to the boat. it's not confirmed completely because of the various loopholes and various things that need to be agreed on. finally, but fundamentally that it seems to be that there's an agreement between the opposition, christian democrats and the potty, the parliamentary group of the social democrats, the sense of life, party of gulf of tons, level law shots. and they seem to have agreed on this february 23rd date before we can categorically see that that will be the day that germans heads of the poles. first of all, tons of all our shots has to say that he's happy to do that. and then as we, as you mentioned the that the decision, the final decision is actually in the hands of the president. frank felt this time i will be up to him to, to, to call basically new elections. but it looks like we have an agreement within the

groups in the parliament of when the team can sit down and agree on that. the to not would be february 23rd, august 8th, not a 100 percent. can find it. okay, so we've got a rough date for the election or a concrete date if everyone actually agrees on that. and the president says yes, but 1st there has to be a co, a boat of confidence in parliament. when will of schultz call that the we know a slide sadly so, so basically last week, tons of all the shots that he wanted to call that vote of confidence in january 15th, a lot of opposition groups and policies and people and business and so on. said hey, we need that to be much sooner. we want that fresh collections because we need stability. we want to refresh elections to happen sooner and not confidence voice tied to it because of the time slot can decide when that company's fault takes place on that. then triggers the new elections. and sort of, he said he wanted to january 15th and know, looks like that will happen elia in december. but as i say, that's not been confirmed, but fundamentally,

looks like there's an agreement that will take place in december. and that would then lead to an election date of, as we say, february 23rd. and so it looks like the opposition party have managed to get the, the, the governing social democrats to move the date forward a bit. but no, it's not selection, so not a calling of confidence for this week, which is won't the opposition leader once it. so again, as is always and so often the case in gen politics that seems to have been a compromise. but we kind of see categorically as 5 be 25 the following, the regular election calendar, germany would have had a federal election in september any way that's being brought forward, as you've mentioned, give us some background on the collapse of sholtes as government that led to this right, so that, so the current or rather the just the, the recently deceased coalition government was a coalition government on the social democrats, the greens and the free democrats are kind of pull business party,

the salt agreement of the big it's to just before they're basically the invasion of ukraine by russia. they got together and said, we're gonna, we're going to have this big plan to modernize germany. then what happened? they went out, they agreed on the law. it must be said in that 1st year in 2022. but then i would see in the last month and in the last year, there's been so much arguing on public policing roofing against each other that it basically things collapse. last week the chancellor said that his finance minister from the pool business freedom across she could no longer trust them. and that has no trigger. this crisis and german politics where we will have elections not mix up 10 barrage. we shared your thoughts in the 1st quarter of next year, and as we now know today, it's looking very likely that the date for elections will be february. okay, matthew, i'm sure you're going to be tracking the story for the rest of the day. i thanks so much for now. our, our political correspondence, matthew, the matthew moore. thank you very much. now

to the united states where the new trump administration is starting to take shape sources close to donald trump say the president elect will likely confirm marco rubio as his secretary of state. the florida senator was trumps rival for the 2016 republican presidential nomination. but he now aligns with his stances on china and ukraine. rubio is a cuban american and would be the 1st latino to hold the post. meanwhile, there's plenty of speculation about which trump loyalists could feel other top jobs . so let's have a look. a united states, this man could be donald trump's chief of downsizing. elan mosque is donald trump's highest profile supporter, and trump has publicly spoken of putting him in charge of eliminates in government waste even as must does billions of dollars in official business with the u. s. must unofficial influence is already significant,

is reportedly joined phone calls between trump and foreign leaders. then there's robert f. kennedy, junior and outspoken vaccine skeptic who may head to the health and human services department. raising worries about what would happen if another pandemic, what a car. until the top diplomatic post us media reports point to marco rubio as trumps. expected choice. a secretary of state percentage of from florida is known to take a hard line on china and iran, and he voted against the major. you claim aid package this year of the names being suggested include, rick grinnell, the combat a former ambassador to gemini. and robert o'brien who was trumps, form and national security advisor. mike rogers has been mentioned for the top defense job. he's a republican member of congress with a whole case reputation. and unlike many and crumbs well is

a strong advocate of bombing ukraine and increasing defense spending. trump is also mentioned christopher miller, who was under his last administration and was involved in project 2025, a wish list of government reform that would give trump more power. he's announced that the united nations and bassett is at least stephanie a still until you pro israel republic, a representative from new york. and trump is already made one major pick. he appointed his campaign co chair woman. so was the wildest chief of stuff. she'll control access to the president and help set the administration's policy agenda. what they all have in common besides the right wing credentials is proven loyalty to trump. but the president elect faces obstacles in a pointing lawyer list. cabinet post must be confirmed by the senate, which means dealing with democrats who may have refused to let his nominees have hearings, trumpets proposed changing the way the senate works to allow him to appoint candidates while the senate is not in session. trump may also result to appointing

acting cabinet members, as he often did in his 1st term. these people are easy to fire and don't have to be confirmed by the senate, and that makes their own views less important at the job. it depends on one thing. pleasing the boss while donald trump is setting up his foreign policy team, the european union is putting its top officials in place. as tony is former prime minister kaya carlos is expected to be confirmed as they use new foreign policy chief. when it comes to the war and ukraine, she stands in stark contrast to the incoming us administration. in her new endings as a european union's foreign policy, chief foremost stoney and prime minister kaya callous confronts of daunting challenge. how to deal with donald trump. why trump is to present to cut off o a to ukraine and in the war before he takes office. callous has been a vocal supporter of the country. she says the european security is personalized

for her as the native of a country that was long on the soviet rule, and often warned others about russia's imperialistic dream. there's war in europe for this also growing instability and globally that the also are the main challenges thought of the european foreign policy. my name is jeff and i say to work for the european, you need to protect your fee and interest. callison. trump may not see eye to eye on the need to help you create the both leaders want european states to spend more on defense. call us because he's a stony you're coming from. the eastern plank is a dynamic, a woman who is coming from a country that is correctly and is definitely payment's fair share when it comes to defense cost. it's a starting point is better then you would have had with many europe countries in some ways as an opportunity for a fresh start. and even when it comes to china,

callous views may appear to trump in a recent letter to the bottom and callous slammed agents close ties with moscow. and set the china successive states. subsidies make for onset competition and then on even playing field on other odds and foreign policy questions such as how to deal with evolved or how to respond to an expanding conflict in the middle east. callous views remain unclear. some volunteer beings worry that she made reduce the role that you can play in resolving the israel and palestine conflict and relegate it to the commissioner for the mediterranean region. a junior profile that will be used foreign policy g. while i'm very much concerned because and to know we haven't heard about her policies on meet at least and, and also the lack of engagement to and to now has been very evident. it's really easy to bring together use $27.00 member states on complicated and often divisive

foreign policy choices. but experts say the catalyst is a team player who will walk on both task lumped a consensus on russia and on broader law supply. take unity. today. we're going to discuss very many, let's cross straight over to our correspond, rosie bet child who's following the hearing in brussels roads. rosie what did kind of colors say about cooperating with the trump administration? so she's being very careful, terry, and how she approached ties with the united states and even though she is officially briefing speaking to being grilled by members of the europe in parliament here in brussels. we're, i'm spending, it seemed to me that what she was saying was as much of page to them as it was a page to washington, cheapest careful related to not message from name as far as i could tell. rather talking about the importance of transatlantic unity and really what seems to me to be quite a clear page saying what happens here in your particularly what happens in ukraine matters for the united states interests cheap and side. it matters, for example,

for places like taiwan. we know that is an area that the united states is watching very carefully with many analysts say the us is looking at a pivot sports, focusing on asia and the ends of pacific. so really her, they're saying what matters for you crate? what happens in ukraine masters for the united states? let's see if the trump administration leases to her in the future. in a report we saw that kaya color says view on the middle east conflict remains unclear. in the hearing, she declared it to be one of her top priorities. let's have a listen. there are 2 urgent priorities, very close to us, right as war against ukraine and the open conflict in the middle east. victor of ukraine is a priority for our soul. the situation on the battlefield is very difficult, and that is why we must keep on working every day to day tomorrow and for as long

as it takes and with as much military financial and humanitarian aid as needed. so call us as views on ukraine or well known, but she at least mention the middle east. in her statement there. did she have anything else to say about the situation in the middle east? rosie? yeah, she was clear in that she called for a release of hostages, immediate cease fire, and she calls on restraint from all parties. but that terry is kind of a bare minimum in terms of the use of messaging. and it does stand somewhat in contrast to the views of her pre, just asked her who's mine cold, you'll set burrell who she is replacing. he's really seen on has been a outspoken critic of israel when kind of call us was asked, what more that you could do to try to resolve the escalating crisis for including each monetary and crisis in gaza. she really simply talked to, but working with partners, working with the united states,

working with the goals rather than talking about any leverage that your team union might have. so i think you may see a changing the tone from the east board policy keep moving forward from her pre defense or be pretty tough on israel to her, perhaps having a a softer approach. let's see how it goes when she actually takes office so far. she still to be formerly approved rosie, thank you very much. that was dw brussels, correspond to rosie beauchamp to spell the oil giant shell has one its appeal against the landmark ruling which ordered the company to drastically reduce its carbon emissions. a dr. appeals court has dismissed all claims from the 2021 climate case, stating that shell was already on track to meet its admissions parker. in the 3rd grade of more of this, i'm joined now by database, jeep climate reporter louise osborne. always the 2021 ruling against shell was

celebrated as a huge victory for climate activists. we've got to clip from back then showing them celebrating the us in on how old is came about. so, i mean, there were a few ideas including friends of the us, the filed a difficult case against shell, the quote, the box then ordered the shell, me to, to follow worldwide agreements on reductions of admissions in line with the climate change that we are seeing. i'm to cut all of their emissions by 45 percent by 2030 . um at the time it released the president and triggered a snowball of clement litigation against companies like show. and it was a very significant, really well now the ruling has been over turned. how significant is this reversal? i mean, it's really significant. it really talks to the responsibility of oil and gas

companies when it comes to the emissions leading to global warming. um, the court actually said today that you know, they are responsible for some of their emissions. so they are responsible for the direct emissions that they cause yourselves by drilling for oil and gas. they are also responsible for the emissions that are caused by the energy that they use, for example, for uh, for their electricity and, and other things that they are doing. but critically, they are not responsible for the emissions caused by people actually using the product. so binding shadowland gas for, for heating or for transport or, or any of the other things that we use it for. and that is really significant because that makes up a huge majority of the emissions that definitely oil companies. how and if they are not responsible for them, then who is in this ruling comes through just as the cop

29 climate summit is getting underway in bucko answered by john quit this shell ruling, have an impact on negotiations at cop $29.00. i mean, it really sends a message message when these negotiations are taking place about the responsibility of oil and gas companies when it comes to climate change on the extreme weather events that we are seeing. it has an impact, for example, on the targets that countries are putting together to try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, which are obviously completing companies that are housed within those countries. the international energy agency, for example, has said that there should be no new oil, gas or cold fields, you know, kind of invested into if we are to achieve that 0 by 2050, which is the aim of many countries um, of the conference. and obviously that is going to be problematic to get to when

companies are still moving forward to, to dig for oil and gas. it also says something about financing at the carpet. the moment is focused on financing for developing countries. and they are looking at new ways of making sure that they have enough money to get away from fossil fuels. one of the suggestions for new sources of financing has been applied to pay principal, which would basically be some kind of tags on oil and gas come out, sorry, on police to such as oil and gas companies. so it says something if they are not responsible for them. okay, we'll keep watching that story. uh, our chief climate reported was osborne. thank you very much. i and shells. legal victory comes just as cop 29. the cop 29 global climate conference. andrews is 2nd day in bako, as or by john protesters have

a choose the host country of green washing sweetie. supply with active, expressive, tuned back appeared other demonstration in the jordan capital to police. see, she said petroleum exporting azerbaijan, for such a defense has been suppressed, is more concerned with securing the oil and gas investments than it is with solving the crime. with crisis, missouri. officials say their capital was chosen because of its green energy initiative as well. showing few signs of winning the country off of petro dollars. the world has to move away from one and guess what the john is made clear. there's no intention of changing its business model for the sake of the climate. 60 percent of government revenue come from fossil fuels, which are the main driver of the climate crisis. having the oil and gas because it is not our fault. it's a gift was a good deal climate act and try to get it the worst possible rating for climate

protection. critically insufficient as a bit down submissions are set to rise by the for the 20 percent in the coming years. see the red line in pub, of the countries on climate targets the fall cried from the emissions reduction. as i bet john needs to aim for to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees shown here in green, called 29 president and chief negotiator is moved up by a about johnson, minnesota for ecology and natural resources and formal officials of the state or the company analyst by consent, the climate negotiations only work if you have a very strong and very credible and very trustworthy presidency. so by john is not that is a fossil fuel country. it's an autocrats country. are human rights are difficult and they are displaying themselves better than they really are. meanwhile, the human rights situation in the coke is this country is disastrous. say, experts,

numerous political prisoners are in jail, were many of being taught, should say human rights organizations. critics say they've been systematically silenced, particularly in the run up to the climate conference among them. but she just totally monthly from the as about john and g o climate of justice initiative google . so that'd be as forming a coalition, we wanted to draw attention to these problem that's highlighting the need in the country for an environment where people can express their opinions and voice, their grievances raised issues and comfortably expressed themselves naturally. before we could achieve this, it was stopped. people were arrested boom box to all of the reporters without bored as press freedom. ranking also painted when picture about john takes place. $164.00 out of $180.00 countries. the federal state has also been rated as one of the most corrupt in the world, according to a transparency international report. and then there's the conflict with neighboring a media semester. yeah. is that the john took over the region of my god,

no cut out bucks, which lead to more than 100000 a median please. the outcome of the time at summit does not depend solely on the host country to prevent devastating floods, as seen recently in spain and brazil, and support countries hit by climate catastrophes is the responsibility of high emitting nations, namely industrialized the western countries as well as china and oil rich gulf states. so while ago i spoke with professor, enjoy ita group tot i asked her how successful the summer could be when it's presidency, is in the hands of an autocratic state dependent on fossil fuels. it's very unpredictable. you never know when a cop will succeed when it will say it, and it all depends on the dynamics within the country and within the organization. i remember one of the cops was in the netherlands and we was so sure it would succeed and it fails because of the way in which the dynamics booked the cop

copenhagen failed. so it's a little unpredictable when it's blue book and when it won't. but having said that, the question is whether the other by john talk really wants to phase out fossil fuel and out. everything shows us that they don't want to do that. so my gut feeling is that they will not lead the way. okay, a big focus at this conference is what to do with emerging countries that are trying to transition away from fossil fuels. what can be done to help them in your opinion? so you know, the more than 80 percent of the remaining fossil fuel is in the developing world. so basically about 2 challenges. the 1st challenge is not using fossil fuel, unexpecting, woods and fossil fuels from the ground and the 2nd challenges. what do we do with the plans that have just been built and therefore have a lifetime of about 80 or 90 years?

and most of these plans uh, built based on investments that took into account a long term periods. so if you close those plans, found these countries and investors will go bankrupt because they have to pay back the investors. so there are 2 types of problems over here in terms of the finance. and often there was the problem off the minus and the people enjoyed by the mining sector and the fossil fuels fixed up and you have a large number there. so you're really, you're really talking about using climate finance to phase out the extraction process. you're talking about climate finance not to use the fossil fuel that is still there but not yet extracted. and you're talking with climate finance to ensure that people are employed in the sector will support governments to change the sector. and this is very, very problematic. and part of the problem has been of the cost that our rich

countries in the west we took too long to face out. and in fact, we have not yet faced out our own fossil fuel. so the message it sends to many off the countries outside the next one, countries as well. since we are still drilling, baby drumming, that will, they can also drill baby drill. and that is a really problematic situation that we have currently. and it's very difficult to blame the emerging economies when, when i own european and american st. appropriate states are still continuing to use. okay, to joyce or thank you very much. that was joy. it's a good to in amsterdam and to you are watching dw news, just reminder of the top story we're following for you, this, our german media se transport all f schultz has reached an agreement with the main opposition. conservatives on a date for early elections. schultz fires is finance minister last week leading to

the collapse of his 3 way governing college february 23rd by the way, the tentative date for those fresh elections. keep watching dw news, you'll find everything on our website. i'm terry martin. thanks for watching. the

we're entering the era of a i weather forecast, dangerous storms, drought, and heavy rain is becoming increasingly difficult to predict the weather because of climate change. a i models are expected to solve the problem in the future. they're fast, more accurate and constantly learning tomorrow today. next on d, w in good shape. excuse me,

can you repeat that? ex, that's me, i'm hearing losses on the right. the main reason is excessive headphone use to young people are especially at risk. how should we take care of a hearing? using q tips is not the solution. in good shape. in 16 minutes, on d, w, the is increasing every ease of many watching online services, the only work that is holiday destination is a drowning cost. at the cost every year of x $4000000.00 tons of plastic. why is

there another way officer rolls, the environment is not responsible. make of your own mind dw, made for mines. the. my weather up tells me that that was going to be no rain and clearly there has been, i just think they're always wrong. i would say it's often that idea, that's a reliable can i? so life was an open window at night. that's a good information. it's not predict of a recording press up accordingly when it arrives at my workplace for an important meeting i was so it was so, so that's my edit. and so you've sent me home. i think it's a matter of how you interpreted and what's uh, whether app you actually use. mostly it doesn't come through a i is improving the outlook on various fronts. so how about the weather forecasts? the many paces of artificial intelligence this time around on tomorrow today. well
