or shane, silence, or we need to break out of a. i want to tell you something. how to tell the secret starts november 29th on dw, the welcome to the dw news here. our top story is coming to live from berlin. early elections i had in germany, and we may just have a dates after the collapse of his governing coalition last week. german chancellor, all off schultz agrees to early elections in february, also ahead on the program us deadline to allow more aid into gaza expires today. agencies, a israel has failed to comply with new vast amounts and a major legal victory for the oil giant show. a dodge court overturns a landmark rolling that ordered the company to cut it's carbon emissions. the
7:01 pm
clay richardson. thank you very much for joining us. german chancellor, all our faults and the main opposition conservatives have agreed on a date for early elections. february 23rd and the snap election was prompted by the collapse of the coalition government last week. when schultz fired his finance minister controls as bound to political pressure and agreed to hold the election a month earlier than he originally suggested. it will be a brave winter election in germany instead of the usual september pole. l. i. felts is social democrats and the opposition. c, d, u. c. s. you have both accepted an early date somewhere between what the 2 sides were hoping for to happen once we have agreed to propose to the gentleman, president arden that the election of the 21st german bonus tag should take place on
7:02 pm
the 23rd of february 2025. 50 von. so i know 20 some dodge and when the stock chancellor shelves announced last week, he would call a confidence vote and take us the collections that was up to his government collapsed when he dismissed finance minister, christie, and link the head of the free democrats. one of the 3 parties in his coalition shots hopes to be nominated as his parties. candidate for chancellor had returned to lead and the government is still with us. i believe this will help us to finally come to a clear focus, namely who is the better chancellor for jim and i hadn't had, you know that i am firmly convinced that the elder showed to serve this country well under the most difficult conditions of the last 3 years, but the thing woman, these lands, good, good tom, hot, a continuation of shell. it says chancellor looks unlikely that according to the
7:03 pm
pulse freezers manse could be on his way to the top job. he's sent a right group is set to come out of an election as the largest party, but it would need coalition passes and the make up of any future government is i'm clear. meanwhile, concerns have been raised. the rushing to the oppose good cause problems for the smooth running of an election. until just a week ago, the parties were still planning for regular elections 10 months from now. now they will have to scramble to pick candidates, and the authorities will have to meet legal deadlines much sooner with work to do over the christmas and new year holiday season. but jim and his chief electoral officer says she thinks february, the 23rd is doable. of a confidence voting parliamentary is now expected. on december, the 16th new elections would follow 10 weeks after that. how long it might been take to form a new government is at the moment. anyone's guess. so
7:04 pm
the parties have now agreed on an election date in germany, but is the path forward now clear? here's our chief political editor, mikaela in berlin. yes it is. we at least know that the pos in terms of a timing, although none of this sort has been subject to political negotiation. and it's really interesting. we saw this a government a meltdown last week when, when i sold a throughout the free democrat finance minister over an argument, how to pay essentially for the help for ukraine. that means providing it's the 2nd largest provider of military assistance, but also of funding and, and now a week on we're still talking about how to get to elections when really the government is facing huge towns is a just to mention one, the election of donald trump in the united states, so germany is very busy with itself at a rather crucial time for the country,
7:05 pm
but also for the european union. but at least now we know the schedule still subject to approval from the gentleman, the president who is the one who eventually decides on the exact timing. but we understand that that's what everybody's agreed to have said that there, this comes as germany facing immense challenges, not least of which the election of donald trump. he will be taking office on january 20th so. so at that stage of germany will still not have decided on a new government. do you think that leaves berlin in a precarious position as well? it certainly leaves funding unable to pick up the phone and give some answers when we start seeing the demands coming from donald trump, a potentially tweeting, posting, accessing, and what he expects to see from germany. he already made statement saying in germany 8 months, saying that germany, oh is the united states money?
7:06 pm
the gentleman economy is pointing downwards and donald trump is threatening to slap terrace even on inputs from allies. how much of this will become true? we do not know, but we know if something like that hits the german government within those 5 weeks of still being in the election campaign that can put the government into a very difficult spot, un, unable to give straight answers because it's not allowed to decide on huge funding until we know who's in charge in the next administration. well, thank you for bringing this up to speed with the details there. that is our chief political editor at mckayla coast are in berlin. a group of 8 international agencies say israel has failed to meet us demands to allow more aid into gaza last month of the by the end of the ministration date as well 30 days to increase urgently needed aid for the territory or risk of scaling back of american military
7:07 pm
supports, well that deadline expires today. so how much 8 is getting into gaza and half the past 30 days? seen any improvements? displaced, honest opinions and central guns, a q for a bowl listening to sleep. a red hot meal that in many cases will have to feed an entire extended family of the war has destroyed, causes farming on fishing industries, leaving the entire population of 2200000 reliance on food aid. the u. n's world food program is the biggest supplier of aid follows by the egyptian red crescent. israel records all of the aid, it allows him to gaza. here on israel's month lease logistics for 2024. they showed deliveries dropped in october to the lowest level since the start of the war, november solar and improvement, but still way below what the u. s. has cooled, full washington ones, aid for garza to rise to $350.00 trucks
7:08 pm
a day that day the average for october was just $57.00 trucks. excluding fuels, deliveries, un agencies say even less actually gets distributed due to his rating restrictions ongoing. fighting on the general chaos, aid entering garza currently passes through that coverage along crossing in the south. and areas in the news on tuesday is roadside is an open the case to sim, costing to a day before the us deadline to increase a deliveries. things are especially bod, in the news residents in the towns of giovanni at the law here in bates noon, said they've received no a tool since israel the gun in new offense. if they're on october 5th, these riley army says it was forced to move into the towns to take on her mass militants, who it says, have re grouped that. one mine and jamalia told reporters that most of his family
7:09 pm
would code and a strike the weekend. for behavior, this is the bread that they wanted to eat for breakfast. what good is bread? if there is no safety or bees, we don't want food red or flour, we want safety and bees of the un estimates that between 75 and 95000 people are in northern gaza, living in dia conditions last week, files and this followed is really on the old is to evacuate. they not here. are you? in fact panel says funding is imminent in northern gaza. an assessment dismissed as inaccurate by israel. i asked china low a spokesperson for the norwegian refugee council, whether her organization can cooperate claims that israel has failed to meet us. a demands is not only in israel, not increase the amount of ego in the gaza. as the report indicated, the amount of a go into gaza in the month of october was the lowest point since age started being
7:10 pm
delivered in october of last year. this is, as we've seen, the needs continue to grow and the fact that a less and less aid is getting in and reaching people a need. it's simply catastrophic. i've got some contacts here from michael link, a professor of law at western university in ontario, canada, and previously a u. n. special rough, a tour on the human rights situation and the occupied palestinian territory is a very warm welcome back to g w. so this deadline for the increase of aid has now expired. the big question is, do you think the bite and administration will in response limit to military support to israel or this remains to be seen. we've, we've witnessed over the past year on a number of reports that israel in the conduct of its military assault on uh, on guys a has been breaking international law on committee committee and the allocations of
7:11 pm
work crimes and crimes against humanity. and of course, even genocide and that hasn't stopped american aid from flowing even despite internal reports within the state department saying that his role is violating international law. and therefore that should demand that cut off of a weapon rate. whether the i take it that the letters sent a month ago by the secretary defense and the secretary of state was quite serious. they were expecting to see israel uh, bringing up it's a allowance of bailey and mandatory trucks entering into gaza, up to $350.00 indeed, 8 organization say that itself isn't sufficient. what is needed is around $600.00 trucks, daily going in, as your reporters upset in october, the average was only $57.00 trucks. and indeed, that is falling to only 22 trucks a day entry and the guys are in the 1st week of november. so my instinct would be,
7:12 pm
is that the united states would want to show that it's going to back up. it's word that it will take steps if israel hasn't filled the humanitarian demands of the united states and we're waiting for that. the announcement sometime in the next day coming from washington. and i'm curious what the legal framework will be. there's a bite and administration will be operating within here in the us as cited laws that can limit or prohibit military assistance to countries that are failing to provide humanitarian assistance to civilians who is in charge of inferring that these laws are, are implemented. what happens if they're not respected or ultimately this is an executive decision of the american government that usually is in the hands of the secretary of state. and i always could be over ruled by the president. but ordinarily, it's a secretary of state who determines the late he act, which is the primary piece of american legislation that would govern the flow of weapons to a country who's a legs to be violating. international law would get with a terminal, as i've said,
7:13 pm
you know, there were been reports that internally, there were there was allegations that israel had committed violations of international law, thereby triggering the way he act that was over ruled by the secretary of state. but i suspect we'd probably seen those patients tend over the last month by israel's inability or refusal to allow sufficient amount of terminates to enter into gaza. also important to note, of course, that this is the deadlines that by the, by an administration before the us presidential election called president elect donald trump coming into office who has indicated he would give as well. perhaps even free or rain. do you think there's prompt administration would be likely to, to ignore or reverse any decisions that biting might put forward? one wonders you know, if, if you look at the number of things that uh, the 1st probably administration had given israel with respect to moving the
7:14 pm
american embassy to jerusalem. the cutting off of 8 to the palestinian authority, the cutting off of a unreal um the recognition of the as really claim was subbing for you over the syrian golden heights and the ending of the rainy and nuclear deal. very few of those reversed by the, by the administration. and i suspect you're going to see even more gifts on the, on the table on offer by the trumpet administration. when it takes office in january, uh, back to back to israel. the biggest issue will be whether or not the demand coming from israel for a green light from washington to annex parts of the parts are. all of the west bank will receive it by the new trump administration. and this i think would be a grave worry by israel's traditional allies and in europe. and it would meet with great opposition, i think coming from the global self. and i, but 11 wonders if, if so much was given to israel in the 1st couple of inspiration,
7:15 pm
how much more generally it will be in the 2nd in the 2nd administration. professor lank, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us. that is professor michael think from western university in ontario. we very much appreciate your time. thank you. the quick look at some other world news headlines. the top clerk and the anglican church has resigned over the handling of a child abuse scandal dating back decades. justin welby, the archbishop of canterbury to day quits after an investigation concluded that he's failed to inform police about serial sexual abuse at summer camps. in britain, zimbabwe and south africa was a doctor. it you would have criticized and brushes more and ukraine in front of a patient has been sentenced to 5 and a half years in prison. as w. i know if i was arrested after being reported by the patient's family. she was convicted on charges of spreading false information about the russian military.
7:16 pm
oil and gas giant show has one. it's appeal in a landmark climate ruling. it dr. appeals court announced on tuesday that shell does not have to sharply cut it's greenhouse gas emissions as previously ruled, delivering a blow to environmental activists. fisher disappointment, tears flow as active as watch their hopes. it gets hard emissions coats from oil and gas, dry and shell disappear. that's coming. as of course, environmental campaigners were defy and the split i'd say for the fight against dangerous climate change isn't madison, not just the frailties i've erased as i knew just begun opponent in 2021 active as reveled as a ruling order child cut, 45 percent of its net carbon emissions, but 2013 compared to 2019 levels is applied to shelves own emissions, and those of its customers who use oil and gas and cars to heat their homes. um
7:17 pm
beyond. as a landmark ruling, it was the 1st time a company have been legally forced to take on such drastic climate measure as challenging the ruling show argued and course decisions being unfairly targeted. and those other companies would take over any fossil fuels. it didn't also extract judges of the appeals course in the hague. such show could not be held to a specific legal go, or reduction of its greenhouse gas emissions. child's chief executive. welcome to ruling in a written statement, our target to become a net 0 emissions energy business by 2050 remains at the hearts of shells strategy . and it's transforming our business. we're making good progress and our strategy to deliver more value with less submissions. environmental is disagree, and they're like you to look to the supreme court to appeal the decision. their hope for oil joins to be held responsible for the emissions coal spike burdick. their products. let's be to the director of the group that brought that case
7:18 pm
against show means you defend see, or friends of the earth, netherlands. donald pauls joins us now from hague, as you might have seen him just there in that report. welcome to d. w. this must be a disappointing result for you. can we get your reaction 1st place? yeah, you can imagine that the, that we are very disappointed. we hope that the quotes would confirm the routing and 1st the instance in the appeal that shell should reduce it. c, o 2 emissions in accordance with international climates agreements that did not happen. and you call this a marathon, not a sprint. will you be appealing the result in the we will 1st study the reading by the judge thought early and then besides what's our next steps would be but then the bill is clearly one of the more realistic options. now, for our viewers have not been following this case closely, can you just tell us
7:19 pm
a little bit about about shows and missions about what it does that you felt it was so important to take this case. the court shall, is one of the largest pollutants in the world. if shell was a country, emissions would only be trumped by india, china, russia, and the us and, and by forcing show to reduce its emissions in accordance with international time, with agreements, we would have changed the, the struggle against the dangerous climate change because it will not the only impact cell itself, but oh, large pollute is. at this stage, $57.00 companies are responsible for 80 percent of o global emissions. we can only achieve climate stabilization if these companies are also forced to implement international climate agreements. so just so i understand the nuances of this case in particular show says that the part parents
7:20 pm
claimant agreement applies to governments that, that, that's where people should be directing their efforts. does this court ruling support their case? you know, it doesn't, uh, the quote reading itself is rather complex because the court did recognize that shell has a, is contributing to dangerous climate change. and to then change or is gone with the change to human rights violations. that shell has the obligation, the legal obligation to reduce its contribution to dangerous climate change. and that the more than $800.00 new oil and gas projects blend by a shell is contradictory to international climate agreements and its responsibility to not contribute to human rights by the violations. and that's, and then the conclusion. unfortunately,
7:21 pm
the judge said while cell has the obligation to reduce it, c o 2 emissions, it is unclear specifically what that reduction targets of cell should be. and therefore, the judge decided to not confirm the outcome of the court in the 1st instance. so it was this issue of specific reduction targets that came into play here. what do you think the court's when means for the future? of course, as as an app and you for holding non government climate polluters accountable? yes, of course, this gifts mixed signals that is a clear, purely on the legal side. because the judge ruled that show has the obligation to reduce it c o 2 emissions and they for limit to its contribution to human rights violations. this can be used in court cases in the future. and in that
7:22 pm
sense, it's a platform full for the climate, the cases, not only in the netherlands, but globally of course, uh as well, your defense itself in this specific guys we, we would need to recuperate and reorder insights, ourselves on how to move forward. because the routing in the end did not say a confident outlay. well, thank you so much for joining us on the news to speak about this. this was donald paul's, the director of video defense. he, we very much appreciate your time this evening. thank you very much. i now let's take a look at the united states where president elect donald trump is quickly assembling his cabinet. one of the main positions, of course, the secretary of state report suggests trump is that to nominate florida, senator marco rubio. if confirmed rubio would become the 1st latino to serve as america's talk, diplomats he is fantastic. mark. oh, come on up. come on up. as donald trump campaign across the country,
7:23 pm
one of the key establishments that goes within his movement was florida. senator marco rubio. i think a lot of your a lot. 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 left is running venezuela . as the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee and a member of the foreign relations committee, we've been an outspoken critic of china, seeing it as an economic and security threat to the us. a, could the chinese government through its 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 aid package for kids. in line with trump stated ambition to untangle the us from overseas conflicts,
7:24 pm
the overall alignment between rubio and his potential next boss is a major turnaround from the relationship in the past. june the 20, 16 republican primary, rubio escaping about trump. he began to unmask the true nature of the front runner 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 to a now bygones, as the world watches to see what us foreign policy will look like. over the next 4 years, sprains prime minister is pledging billions of euro to rebuild the communities devastated by flash floods. many survivors lost their homes and possessions including family albums. but now it projects at the university of valencia. i was hoping restore what photos can be saved, preserving peoples cherished memories of these exp,
