. i'm david lab, it's good to have you with us german chancellor. what i've shorts is bound to political pressure to hold elections a month earlier than he originally suggested. february 23rd is the new expected date for snap elections. so it says coalition government last week collapsed when the chancellor fired his finance minister, who refused to let the country take on debt to finance its support for ukraine. it will be a rail winter election in germany instead of the usual september pole. laughed shouted 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 german president on the election of the 21st german bonus tag should take place on the 23rd of february 202550 von, some items, fontes dodge, and when the stock john slough shouts 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 chance left the gym and they hadn't had you know that i am firmly convinced that show. so said this country, well in the most difficult conditions over the last 3 years, but didn't woman these lands good guitar? not a continuation of charlotte, says john slo, looks unlikely that according to the 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 makeup 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 policies were still planning for regular elections 10 months from now. now they will have to scramble to pick candidates and those doherty's 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. a confidence vote in parliamentary is now expected. on december, the 16th new elections would follow 10 weeks of the event. how long it might been take to form a new government is at the moment. anyone's guess. and the german president is backing the election timeline. we just heard about the w political correspondent, simon young, and berlin explains how the next few months will play out. thing they look at

pretty hectic festival jobs. laugh schultz is gonna have to make good on what he's indicated, namely that he'll follow disagreement between the parties. that means that on the 11th of december, he will request a parliamentary, both have no confidence that vote will be held in the bonus tag on the 16th of december. and if is expected, he loses that both have the confidence because he doesn't have a majority in parliament any more than the way it will be clear for federal president, frank, both of stein maya, to declare new elections on the 23rd of february. and that means that during the period of christmas, a new year, the policies will have to work hard to get. the candidate list said that there was a campaign, machines will have to far off and the candidates will be going door to door during january and february, which can be pretty chilly months at a henry gemini,

of course. and on top of all that the official range arrangements for this election will have to be put in place with ballot boxes and polling stations and postal votes. and the also does it go work out. he's even eligible to vote. so it's a lot to do. should be doable for a country like germany, but within the electorate of more than $60000000.00. you know, it's a challenge to w simon young. there. the united states, as it will continue to send arms to israel after what it says are limited improvements in a deliveries to gaza last month to bite. and then ministration threatened to scale back american military support in less as well increased urgently needed help to the territory within 30 days. that deadline expired on tuesday internation, the aid agencies disagree with washington's decision. they say israel has failed to meet us demands to allow more aid and to gaza,

displaced honest opinions and sensual guns, a q for a bowl listening to sleep, a red hot meal. but in many cases, one have to feed an entire extended family. 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 a photos by the egyptian red crescent. israel records all of the aid, it allows him to gaza. here on israel's monthly, so to sticks 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 once age for gaza to rise to 350 trucks a day. the daily 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, the aid entering garza currently passes through that carriage along crossing in the south and area is in the nose. on tuesday is rose said to open the case to sim, costing to a day before the us deadline to increase 8 deliveries. things are especially bad 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. they've got a new offensive. they're on october 5th. the is really all me says it was forced to move into the times to take on her mass militants, who it says of re groups that one of mine in jamalia told reporters that most of his family were killed in a strike the weekend for behavior. this is the bread that they wanted to eat for breakfast. what good is brad? there is no safety or piece. we don't one food read or for dollar. we want safety

and peace. the u. n. estimates that between 75 and 95000 people are in northern gaza, living in dia conditions last week, files and this followed is ray liotta is to evacuate. they not here. are you? in fact panel says funding is imminent in northern gauze. it an assessment dismissed as inaccurate by you as well. let's check in now with some other stories making headlines. us presidents elect donald trump has announced the tesla and space x c e o e one. musk will head up a so called department of government efficiency, alongside businessman and a former republican presidential candidate director on the swami. trump says the 2 men who supported him throughout his election campaign will be responsible for dismantling government bureaucracy and restructuring federal agencies. the

world leaders gathered in the hazard by john for the 2nd day of the cop 29 climate conference, the major players including us president joe biden. the chinese president, she's in pain, and india, and prime minister and a render moody or not attending the summit. us president elect donald trump's reason victory looms large over the events, raising fresh doubts about the us as climate commitments. a russian doctor accused of criticizing the war and ukraine in front of a patient has been sentenced to 5 and a half years in prison. but as the brianna of was arrested after being reported by the patient's family, she was convicted on charges of spreading false information about the russian military. oil giant shell has one, it's a ppo against a landmark rolling in which it had been ordered to drastically reduce its carbon emissions. but that's the appeals court has dismissed all the claims from the 2021

climate case, stating that shell was already on track to meet its emissions targets. the european union is getting a new top diplomat. as stoney, as a former prime minister kaya call us, is expected to be confirmed as foreign policy chief. she's a staunch supporter of ukraine and was one of the 1st european leaders to warren of russia's expansionist designs. as she takes charge, she faces multiple challenges, not only to contain russia, but also on how to deal with the incoming american president in her new role as the european union's foreign policy chief former as tony and prime minister, kyle callous faces a challenge. how to deal with donald trump, while trump has threatened to cut off on 8 the ukraine and in the war before he takes office callous has been a vocal support of the country. she saves european security is personal for her. as

a native of a country that was long on the soviet room, she has often warned all those about rochelle as imperialist ambitions. victor of ukraine is a priority for a 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. callisom trump may not see eye to eye on the need to help ukraine, but both vetoes warranty or penn state's to spend more on defense costs because he has a story coming from the eastern plank is a dynamic. a woman who is coming from a country is scratchy and is definitely payment's fair share when it comes to defense costs. so starting point is better, then you would have had with many european countries in some ways as an opportunity for a fresh start. even when it comes to china,

tell us as views may appeal to trump. in the recent letter to the european parliament, kind of slammed beijing's close ties with moscow and set that china's excessive state subsidies make for unfair competition. and then on even playing field, a callous phase. the middle east is also high on hydro agenda. there are 2 urgent priorities, very close to us prices more against ukraine and the open conflict in the middle east. but some low me codes. what does she mean? limits the role that you can play in resolving the conflict between israel and the palestinians 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 rarely easy to bring together the use $27.00 member states on complicated an awesome device of foreign policy choices. but experts say call us as

a team player who will work on both transatlantic consensus on russia and on broader unity. again, as today. well d, w 's, rosie birch, or it has more on bad from brussels, tell us that she wants to seek new connections with the trump administration. and while she was being grilled by parliamentarians here in brussels, it seems to me that what she said was as much a pitch to them as it was a picture right across the atlantic to the trump administration. because on several occasions, she talks about why she believes then what happens in ukraine matters for u. s. interests. she also said that if the u. s. cares about what happens in the south china sea, and of course, that includes taiwan and it should care. but what happens with russia is the question and ukraine. so a pretty clear stance from call us there, which is to be expected, given her past history on this topic, less clarity on her position only made at least she called for a ceasefire. she called for the release of hostages, and she called for what she said was restraint from all parties. no,

that is pretty much the bare minimum in terms of a messaging on it's a pretty, it's a deer shift from her previous test. so you'll set burrell who was really seen as quite an outspoken critic of israeli actions in gaza. she seemed much more hesitant to explicitly offer any kind of criticism. and that change in tone will be welcome to some and really disappointing to others. no, of course that's not the only topic on her list. she will be the european union space in the world. she talks about the big summit with african leaders in 2025 on it, but increasing cooperation on climate change with the carrier be on with less than american countries. but of course, it's a pretty crowded political space on that global stage talks also about expanding russian and china chinese influence. so really, one thing is clear after the call us as hearing about is that she really has her work cut out for her. well, before we go, a reminder of our top story, chancellor. all of shorts of germany has reached an agreement with the main

opposition. conservatives on a february 23rd date for early elections joins fire to his planet as minister last week, leading to the collapse of his 3 way of governing coalition. from warners download the deed, when your news app and david limits. thanks for watching the we are all set. we are watching close to the to bring you the story behind the new the will on about come by as information for free might say do to me in china is counting on its world beating export machine to help pull it out of its economic slump. but that's the strategy is been complicated by

a wave of tariffs and it's not just the usual suspects in the west.
