of shame and silence. we need to break out of a. i want to tell you something. how to tell the secret starts november 29th on dw, the business dw, there's live in from berlin, early elections here in germany. we now have a dates after the collapse of his coalition government last week. german transfer, all of sholtes has agreed to early elections in february. we'll have more on what has to happen between now and then. also coming up, are we looking at america's next top diplomat, florida, senator marco rubio was reportedly president electronics choice to be the next us secretary of state and a new phase at the european union. the story is calling your call is set to be confirmed today as the used for and policy cheap, just as much as market. rubio is against the new aid for ukraine. she is adamantly

committed to making that aid a reality. the i'm for golf is good to have you with this. we begin with breaking news. coming from right here in berlin, german chancellor, all of schultz and the main opposition. conservatives have agreed on a date for early elections, february 23rd of next year. the snap election was prompted by the collapse of the coalition government last week. when the chancellor fired his finance minister or an election in february is earlier than what the chancellor was shooting for. he'd been hoping to hold a confidence vote in parliament next january to be followed by elections in march. but bowing to political pressure, schultz has agreed to hold the confidence vote in december and the elections the following february. or well,

several leading politicians have spoken to in the past hour about this. so i asked our chief, political editor of mckayla griffin or whether february 23rd has been confirmed as the date for next year's elections. here in germany. we can say that it's confirmed that that's what they will propose it to the german president of those to the does of salt himself and the leader of the opposition, who will be his key rival in the upcoming elections for the parliament in there. by for tons to the but in the present will have the final say, he is also from the social democrats policy. we expect that to basically sale through the constitutional requirement, the president setting that particular date. and this results the not the, the, the entanglements that followed the breakup of the a 3 way code us and let's 5 drummond sounds that would have sold what it doesn't do. is it truly speed up

a process of a drum and the that is very busy with itself as it says, just being hit by the news of that. donald trump victory in the united states. nobody's talking about that. germany is very busy with itself right now. yeah. and it's been that way now for a good week, what are the next steps, mikael, letting me before we get these early elections? there has to be a vote of confidence in parliament, right? do we know when that's going to take place? so yes, we know that that will be formally inviting, sent to parliament by sounds, assaults. on the 11th of december, on the 16th of december, he will have that votes of confidence which is expected to lose in parliament. and that will then be the presents with $21.00 days to accept the proposal of the solving german parliament and setting a date for the elections. within 60 days though, the parliament is fully dissolved,

it's still able to actually take decisions and past legislation, although no major legislation is supposed to be launched during that time. so and germany will be able to actually come to decisions, but also will be elaine dr. tunzia, all right, and the killer standby, we're going to come back to you in just a moment. we want to take a closer look now at the events of last week that led to the collapse of the german coalition. go after 3 rocky years of government, germany is now on the path to new elections. the 3 party coalition, which formed in 2021, fell apart on november 6th. when chancellor, all of shoulds fired finance ministry coast, young linda from the business friendly, free democrats who refused to approve new debt to fund the budget on this there is no basis of trust for further cooperation about serious government work is not possible in this way. okay, for now germany is being managed by

a minority government. schultz and his social democrats are cleaning together with the green party headed by o, but how back they'll need votes from opposition. parties to pass any further legislation the, all the tasks will not become any easier, neither in the present nor in the foreseeable future. it will become more challenging for germany in particular. also what i know about the next step requires a confidence vote and the bonus tag members would vote on whether to continue supporting schultz as chancellor. a vote. he's expected to lose. schultz had hoped to delay this until early next year, saying they're still important work to do. but opposition leader freely commands from the christian democrats demanded a confidence vote as soon as possible. he is seeking to become chancellor with his party riding high in the polls. these are far the chancellor most nell fill this responsibility, and this is his responsibility to ensure that we can get a new federal government to quickly become

a gun and then comes in election much earlier than september 2025 as originally planned. the poll now look set to take place on february 23rd. after an agreement between the governing s p d and the opposition conservatives. in the meantime, all of shoulds remains chancellor. now it's up to the voters to decide if he can stay or needs to move out to make way for a new chancellor. kill us or that's what happened leading us up to the collapse of the coalition government in the last week. we have seen donald trump re elected in the united states. we've seen the german government here, the coalition government class. and now we're talking about a very short campaign for early elections. this is a lot for voters to process. what do you see as the main challenges for political berlin moving forward of the well, the main towns will be to actually get people out to vote and to get

a positive feeling of going into a future at them. and so i've learned to lot of the last year of what is not possible, what's not possible in a 3 way coalition that became a political experiment. and that is seen as having fails. but having said that, the dumpsters of the landscape has become more fragmented. there is the far right if the policy would also be as w, which is a mix of left wing and writing policies. it's also anti migration. so having a stable government, having what gemini became so famous for on the, on the mackerel, the stability brand of politics getting that spark is something that germans clearing. once you can see it from the opinion polls with the frustration of the government and meeting those expectations will become very complicated. indeed. if those polls translate into extra results, ok the database because the company with that the news, a february 23rd dates set for early elections here in germany. makella. thank you.

then take the day off print. i will not or from one political restart here to another, across the atlantic and the united states president elect. trump is quickly simply his cabinet with the promise to do what trump the candidates said he would do as trump the president. and that means getting tough on legal immigration. trump says he plans to name thomas hohmann, acting director of immigration and customs enforcement home and was known as the borders are in the 1st truck administration. with the president elect is also expected to name florida center. there marco rubio as us secretary of state, and now if confirmed rubio would become the 1st latino to serve as america's top diplomat. a fantastic mark. oh, come on up. come on up. as donald trump campaign across the country, one of the key establishments that goes within his movement was florida senator

marco rubio. i think a lot of your la rubio was once considered a potential pick to be trumps, the vice president. before the president elect settled on j d vans, the son of cuban emigrants sen. rubio has been a vocal critic of the have on the redeem. as well of the leftist running venezuela . as the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee and a member of the foreign relations committee was in an outspoken critic of china, seeing it as an economic and security threat to the us. the could the chinese government through is ownership of by dance. could the today use take talk to controlled data on millions of users on ukraine. rubio opposed russia's invasion, but this year he voted against a major us, a package for kids. in line with trump stated emission to untangle the us from overseas conflicts, the overall alignment between rubio and these potential. next boss is a major turnaround from the relationship in the past. june the 20,

16 republican primary, rubio escaping about trump, began to unmask the true nature of the front runners so far in this race. 5 days ago, we began to explain to the american people that donald trump is a con artist. but a lot can change in the political world. and in this case, by going and now bygones as the world watches to see what u. s. foreign policy will look like over the next 4 years. or the european union is also getting a new top diplomat with a very different view on ukraine compared to her american counterpart. as toby, as former prime minister katya call us, is expected to be confirmed as you, for and policy chief by lawmakers today. and if she is a staunch supporter of ukraine, she was one of the 1st european leaders to one of russia's expansionist designs. and she takes charge of, she faces multiple challenges, not only to contain russia,

but also on how to deal with the incoming american president. 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 to europe and security is personal 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 saw the european foreign policy. my name is jeff, and i say to work for the european, you need to protect your be an interest callisom. trump may not see eye to eye on the need to help you create the both leaders want. you'll be in states to spend

more on defense costs because ease of started coming from the eastern plank is a dynamic, a woman who is coming from a country that is grassy and is definitely payment's fair share when it comes to defense costs. the starting point is better then you would have had with many european countries in some ways as an opportunity for a fresh start. not 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 said the china has excessive 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 parliamentarians worry that she may 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 pro 5 that will use foreign policy chief while i am very much concerned because and to know we haven't heard about her policies on media least and, and also the lack of engagement to and to now has been very evident. it's really easy to bring together that 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 tacit logic unity. today we're going to discuss today. all right, let's go now. dar, corresponded rosie birch. archie is following this story for us at the european parliament in brussels. a rosy, what did call you call us say about cooperating with the incoming trump administration? well, she said she would be seeking connection with the trump administration. and while

she was here in brussels to be grilled by members of security and parliament really seemed to me this was as much a pitch to washington as it was a pitch to them. because she said on multiple occasions that what happens here in your, in ukraine, masters for united states interests and given the many, unless have, are expecting the us to pivot it's defense and for impulse interest away from your and toward asia. she also seem to speak directly to that point. she sites in the united states cares about what happens in the south china sea. and of course, that includes taiwan. then the united states should care about what happens with rushes for of aggression and ukraine. and i think it's worth pointing out that she really did speak very passionately, passionately on all points related to russia. and ukraine, speaking also about her own childhood, behind the iron curtain into sodium. where is the her stand on ukraine is clear, her position on the middle east conflict. it's still need some clarifying. she says

that that conflict will be one of her top priorities taken. listen to what she said . there are 2 urgent priorities. very close to us, right? as war against do crane and the open conflict in the middle east. victor of ukraine is a priority for a sold. 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. a clarity there on ukraine, rosie what more there did the colors have to say about the situation in the middle east? well, she called for a cease fire. she called for a release of hostages, and she called for restraint. she said from all parties in the meet with me to lease, but you know, i think that's basically the bare minimum you would expect in terms of you messaging here. and it's definitely a kind of step back from the,

the language that we heard from her previous that sir, the outgoing e foreign policy chief and non cold. you set the rail, who we see is really quite an outspoken critic all these really actions in gaza and which devices for that reason. know her change in tone here, talking brother, but all parties the conflict and i should say, she was also very careful. it seemed to me not to directly criticize israel in any way during this hearing. well, that will be seen as difficult to solve and also a welcome by others, it should be noted, but kind of tell us as a topic i'm not doesn't set to use for and policy right is don't. the 27, a member states, her job is to caroll the road and they were made divided on this. yeah, that's a very important point to make the are these 2 conflicts? they're obviously they would be high on the agenda. what other issues are going to be important for her in this role as the e. u foreign policy, she will kill us is going to be your face in the world. that means travelling

across the globe a to a different confidence she spoke of. i think somebody with african leaders, which is expected next year, she talks about corporate more on cycling climate change with carrier, be latin american countries. and, you know, let's not forget here the united states is expected to perhaps turn more in worked on these big global questions under the trump administration. that could be a chance for your to staff thoughts here. but of course, pretty crowded space call us also talk to a lot about g political competition globally, about expanding russian and chinese influence. so in order for her to try and keep up your, its reputation of the world stage and what some of those say with ease and moment of a kind of crisis of credibility for the european. you did not least because of those divisions over the warrant garza but also because of the rise in the far right. is clear that call us we'll have a work cut out for her. our correspondent, rosy, virtually with the ladies from brussels, rosie, thank you. all right, let's get you called up now and some of the other stories that are making headlines

around the world police and showing this a 35 people are dead and dozens injured. after a man ran the car into a crowd in the southern city of zoo high, the driver was arrested at the c. authorities have not said whether the incident was intentional. it came the head of the opening of a major air show in the city. the top cleric and the anglican church has resigned over the handling of a child abuse scandal. the dates back decades. justin will be the archbishop of canterbury to date quit after an investigation concluded that he failed to inform police about the serious sexual abuse and summer camps. in britain, zimbabwe and south africa, the oil joint shell has one is appeal against the landmark ruling in which it had been ordered to drastically reduces carbon emission. se dodge appeals court dismissed all claims from the climate case which dates back to 2021. the court said that shell was already on track to meet its emissions targets. and that

ruling comes as the cop $29.00 global climate conference enters. it's the 2nd day in baku iser by john protesters have accused the host country of green washing swedish climate, acted this credit to beg, appeared at a demonstration in the georgian capital tbilisi. today, she accused either by john to human rights abuses and said the petroleum exporting nation is more concerned with securing oil and gas investment. then with solving the climate crisis, as very officials say their capital was chosen because of its green energy initiatives, are showing few signs of winning the country off of petro dollars. all right, i want to bring it in. now mature josie, a senior associate at india, energy transition league e as in baku at the top $29.00. it's good. they have you with this. tell me about

your 1st impressions has eyes or by john's role as host. has it influenced on we're this meeting will end up. uh uh, thank you so much for having me on the show. uh, it's a pleasure to be here. i think what we see right now in terms of the agenda, woke up to be 9. we know that the origin of action is the ticket that we are coming to call right now on the back of extreme by the event with devastating floods that could click and then put you on that a stream economy. then exactly thing in energy and acknowledge seems to counter deep and i think as the climate impacts mount, it becomes abundantly clear that the voice must action the climate action. i think you can see that i can see the need to actually come with action and there's not a spine that's time of action. um,

so i think from that perspective that he's definitely, uh, i'll just keep it in the room. but i understand a little bit of complications, but it comes in stark contrast to the fact that the whose country azerbaijan is a country that is a wash in petro dollars, fossil fuels mean, is there a contradiction there in terms of advancing the goals of mitigating climate change a i wouldn't say that is a function, but in fact, this is the child their 2nd looking to solve, right? so as either by john's heavy reliance on fossil fuels in both the domes that's created on domestic t is going to be unsustainable in the future. and uh, what this requires is bought an increase in the new booth in clean energy solutions, transition planning for that along with the facing done fossil fuels. and this is something that's going to be in the magic to all the countries that are in mind and

talking few weeks. yeah, i think i'm ready. it's not just here by john, but it is also other countries that the need to work on production consumption demand. and i think that is all that's happening, gloating, but a lot more needs to be done and to get us to go online and keep the status temperature going by your eyes or by john, you know, is one of the many countries that has seen its greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise in does that make it perhaps, ironically, easier to address the issue of c o 2 emissions at this call? i think a deafening c o 2 emissions is i'm, it's a logic. you have to talk and it goes. but essentially they look to get that is to accidentally think mitigation action was spoken about in comp printed nv energy package. this requires a full package if you need to, to put anybody at our g w energy efficiency along, excuse me,

like fucking fields. one cannot happen without the i've always and i think what we see in this context, even for a continue concert by john, they've got to do with energy contribution is about 2 percent. i think the energy makes this taking some plans on increasing the capacity. the sound gets up about 5 gigawatts of uh, maintenance without projects. uh by 2020. uh, however, there is enough that can be done and i seen the carpets of a new 2nd has been demonstrating what be all kinds of possibilities. now what are the steps that are needed to implement the continued package, which helps us in meeting the 20, put the clean energy cost, but also hence, or subtracting the not to phasing down fossil fuels by make century. and i think from the point of view of regarding the supply, open activity, supply of energy, it's becoming increasingly clear that investment in your new going just going to

the key. and i think it's more of an opportunity for other by john to use the platform to us from school and figured out that transitions. now, madeira josie, senior associate at india, energy transition league. we appreciate your taking the time to talk with us. we appreciate your sharing your insights as well. thank you. thanks. i. the stains of prime minister is pledging billions of bureaus to rebuild the communities that were devastated by recent flash floods. many survivors lost their homes and possessions, including family photo albums. a project to the university valencia is helping restore what photos can be saved and preserving people's cherished memories as well . these experts are working to restore photos damaged by flood waters, helping families because of precious memories of loved ones. for many, these mementos our own they have left is around me because i'm as they were at my
