11:00 am
a shane, 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 a business day that were you named slide from berlin. donald trump completes a clean sweep of power in the us elections. the republican party secures enough faith to retain control of the house of representatives. the wind gifts from a tri factor where the presidents party, also from charles both houses of congress, also coming european union stop diplomat suggests it's time for the block to, to spend dialogue with israel government over the war and gaza says you have for a size possible human rights violations by israel. and then you went the latest climate conference is well underway. inbox. as a right, john with a topic of funding and taking center stage. we'll talk to germany's climate envoy
11:01 am
and comp 29 to hear what progress or lack of them has been made. the welcome to the show on the call fairly. the republican party has won enough space to control the united states house of representatives, cementing their hold on both the us capital and the white house. recently declared when in arizona's race for the house alongside of victory and slow counts in california, gave a g o p. the majority of $218.00 seats. this results against the republicans and president elect donald trump. of course a government ex try fact that was control the senate, the house, and the white house. most democrats will now find it extremely hard to come back. trump's plans to expel migrant, extend tax breaks and reshape the us economy. a powerful aliases with me.
11:02 am
now pablo complete control of congress. does that mean unchecked power for donald trump? not necessarily, but it is very good news for the republican party. like you said, i mean, they may have basically control, you know, of the presidency right. the way down it means of pushing through at, let's say, sweeping changes to legislation is going to be a lot easier with regards to say, economic policy, migration policy, environmental protections, which they want to roll back on. we're going to be seeing that basically being pushed through a lot easier. i think where it's going to be interesting is and is in the sense that overall we've got a republican party that's a lot more loyal to donald trump. then back in 2016. so that means more unity. but it's in the sense that in the senate you need a 3 5th to majority at 1st sign of bills to be pushed through. and that's to avoid this filibuster thing, which is for us as sort of a word that comes up quite a lot,
11:03 am
which basically live senators to a delay legislation by keeping up doing exactly by storing it. so what they need to do is they're going to need to go across the all to the democrats and seek support for them. so what happens often with santa bills is that they're water damage. so it may mean that a lot of these sort of more and what the democrats mean calling sort of extreme changes that, that they want to push through may have to be watered down because they're gonna need that, that approval. another area that's interesting and i think we really need to focus on is, did you, dish will landscape. this is a judicial landscape that is far more in favor of donald trump. and it was back in 2016 from the supreme court, which is far more conservative. and also a lower level courts as well. they're far more conservative. so in the case that donald trump pushes through se, executive orders, which then are often then and opened up in a legal process. the chances of those actually ending up being overturned or not overturned. obviously it's a different situation because we have
11:04 am
a far more it's a conservative system there. yes. so well balanced were still being counted in arizona and california for example, the term cabinet started to take shape and we have some quite shocking nominations there. it's a be rank. let's start with matt gates there, there is a longer less but let's start with that. let's start with my guide. so he's a trump loyalist congressman from florida and, and also he's going to use be basically put forward as the attorney general. so you know, a very important job, this isn't mine who doesn't have a lot of experience as a practicing lawyer, which is the compare to previous attorney general's. he has much less and he spent most of his working life working as a politician. this is a mind as well that if he is approved, we'll be taking over at, you know, from the top enforcement agency, the same one that was investigating him open til 202336 at into sex crimes. and there's also a has ethics committee that's been investigating allegations against guys that he
11:05 am
was part of a, a tex traffic and screamed us now ends. it's because he's step down to the house of course, because he's not in the house cuz he step down. and he now he's denied all the allegations and of course that investigation at back in 2023. that ended there. so he's also irked, will say, many republicans. he's not super at popular among some republicans who say he's very extreme. and in some of his policies, and he's also being fiercely loyal to donald trump. he's been described by some as of people for donald trump. this is not a done deal. he has to be confirmed, but let's look at some other nominations because the list of, of surprises or of, of concerning appointments to many goes on. that's right. there's tools, the garbage. he has been put forward as the director of national intelligence for people who follow us politics closely. she used to be in the democrats at, but then she became a fierce and loyal supporter of donald trump. and. and she also likes experience
11:06 am
when it comes to intelligence matters. so a lot of republicans are a little the concerned about. that's interesting, lee. she's opposed us interventions in syria and also in ukraine and even some people within politics on both sides. both republicans and democrats and have suggested that she's, you know, to pro moscow. and she's also even suggested that the us provoked russia into aggressive policies. so a very divisive figure there. all right, we see it behind us. there are ready. i want to give our viewers a quick look at donald trump's 1st return to the white house since 2021, where he met the outgoing president. job i a chance to talk to somebody. thank you very much. and
11:07 am
politics is tough and its medication is not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and i appreciate it very much of a transition that says it will be as smooth as it can get so transition as smooth as it can get cosy but also very awkward. nicole is how i would describe that scene. yeah. a transition as smooth as it could get a right what he describes it now as it's, it's a started contrast to what we saw in 2020. how important was this meeting? what 1st and foremost we didn't see this in 2020 big course. of course donald trump, you know, refused to actually sit down and accept the, you know, the result was what it was. so we're, we're, this is a change already. know they told for 2 hours and they talked about, obviously the big policies going on at with regards to at the u. s. is that involvement in ukraine also at in the middle east?
11:08 am
this was a transfer joe biden, to stand with donald trump and say, look, this is why we're pursuing these policies. and now, if there's one thing we know about donald trump, it's is unpredictability. so he has his ideas and he said that he wants to end the war and ukraine in 24 hours, or that's his plan at least. and it also with regards to them, at least there have been differences there. so, you know, while we saw this cozy, awkward scene, and there was this sort of cordial and scene between the 2. and that was sort of what was being said from both sides that you know, it was very smooth and everything was fine. there are very big differences there in the to them and with regards to policy, i'm are going to be seeing that over the coming days and weeks. exactly. a lot of work ahead for both transition teams. thank you so much for all of fully live. exactly right, nicole, thanks. let's take a look now and some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. iran says it will continue to work with the un nuclear agency,
11:09 am
but not under pressure the remarks. com is i. e h e raphael gross ease is it's fair on therapy and powers are pushing for a new resolution against iran over what they view as for cooperation, rossi is pushing for more assistance with monitoring it's nuclear side. human rights watch says that israel's repeated evacuation orders in the amount to the work crime. a for symbol transfer group made the claim and a new reports that suggest israel's actions amount ethnic cleansing says it's findings are based on interviews with display scars in satellite imagery. and public reporting. diplomatic sources have confirmed with dw that the european union is outgoing. foreign policy changes up re, has proposed the blog to suspend political dialogue with israel in a letter to e foreign minister, as he's dying. serious concerns about the possible breaches of international humanitarian law and gaza. your of the top diplomat argues israel has not
11:10 am
sufficiently address these concern. a suspension would need approval from all e u. member states. the foreign ministers are expected to discuss the proposal as our meeting on monday. the last one very chairs before ending his 5 year term and a short while ago i asked our brussels corresponding rosie birch or what all of this give me as well. listen, i think what use that brows trying to do here is to force your member states to have a discussion on to state on the record, basically among themselves for their positions are on relations with israel. and the broader context here is to be retained in union. and israel have a broad agreement. it's called in association agreement. it covers things like trade, but it has lots of other parts which outlined highways, the 2 sides engage with each other. and in the past 2 e u members, state and ireland have called for a review of the trade part of that agreement. given that they believe they would
11:11 am
like to see a review of whether israel is fulfilling its human rights obligations, which are laid out in the agreement. no, of course. israel says it absolutely is. spain in ireland were suspicious of that and they have called, you member states to look at this, that proposal from spain and i, we basically went nowhere and burrell, it seems to me, is trying to follow up on not with a different approach this time discussing political dialogue now your ministers will discuss based on monday, i'm told by some of the collapse here in brussels, but it was a bit of a surprise proposal. they weren't expecting this from bureau. but as you know from the past you members, states have tended to be very divided on the issue of how to respond to israel of how to move forward with relations. okay, and you mentioned that there for a ministers. we'll take a look at this on monday. what do you think they'll make of it to? well, i spoke to one source this morning and they said to me, look, if even countries are struggling to agree on very basic language in a statement, i can hardly expect that they will agree on such a big measure. suspending
11:12 am
a political dialogue. so i think that gives you an idea of the, the mood in the room. it's worth noting that germany in the past has said that communication channel should always be kept open with israel. and so i think i would say this probably is a proposal which is seen by many here as an old starter. and that's why i would see it really rather as a kind of a last ditch attempt by burrell remembered this. it will be his last meeting, which in chairs as a foreign policy chief to bring members states together for a discussion on it and to try and kind of force them in, in a room to just to declare a position. i think a position will not be declared and then give them the divisions, but it will be a chance for them to, to explain among themselves. some of these 27 countries which have widely different views on this. what they individually think and then for braille to come out and tell us what the mood in the room was and what the discussion was. but indeed, it looks like it's not going to be something that gets a, any sort of a switched appraisal. they combine the building is rosie virtual or to in brussels?
11:13 am
always great speaking to you. thank you so much. multiple airstrikes have hit bare root southern suburbs after israel ordered residents to evacuate an era controlled by hezbollah. israel intensified his campaign against the militant group and september overnight. airstrikes and artillery showing also hit the south of the country for local media. say, 5 people have been killed. the war has claimed thousands of civilian lives. stella mina as more on the impact on children. just 6 weeks ago, mohammed was playing football every day, training to become the next ronaldo. now he's in the hospital but doing mobility exercises with his aunt. the 11 year old survived news for any air strike on his hometown side. as on says the family's home for lots of the building and the neighborhood was hit to view when we arrived, none of the buildings were left standing. all the houses were destroyed. it took

11:15 am

11:17 am
state secretary and special envoy for international climate policy was more than welcome back to the w. germany's government we have to talk about it is currently politically paralyzed with the economy at the heart of its troubles. what does that mean for poor countries asking western nations legs? are me for more support on climate change funding? well, germany is a, as a strong economy, we are now moving forward with elections, which will come early next year. and here we have a full mandate of existing minority governments. we are able and we stand by our climate commitments, whether that be around the climate finance part, germany is actually often found to be one of a meeting our fair share in this. we do that out of our own reasons and also due to the responsibility that we have. and we're here negotiating for a fair and ambitious new climate finance agreement. yeah. how much did you say you
11:18 am
have a full mandate, but how much has the political crisis under me? we can to your negotiating position there and buckle as we are based on the existing governments. it hasn't weakens anything. we're here very clearly strong part of the teen europe. not only are we moving forward on our climate finance, we're also moving forward in our economic plan to the carbon either economy. we're now at 60 percent renewable energy. we're just helping drive down electricity prices in germany. we have a stable grid, one of the most stable in the world, 400000 jobs in renewable energy. and that is as our leaders in europe last week said the cornerstone of our competitiveness strategy here in europe. is the climate neutral economy, and we are working very hard and being quite successful in being the 1st climate neutral, con, 8 percent reduction from europe just last year,
11:19 am
due to renewable energy. now at, let's talk, it was really on the table here as part of the funding deals being negotiated ad comp, how much is germany willing to commit per year to combating the climate crisis as well. what we're negotiating here really is a new approach to climate finance. it's about a 10 year collect goal. so it's going from 2026. moving forward to 2035, approximately. right. so 10 years 20252035. and the question is, okay, how can we be increasing the financing, increasing and mobilizing the funding for the poor us the most vulnerable countries in the world developed countries including germany and the european union upset already. we're ready to stay on that 100000000000 commitment. that is there and has been met uh, moving forward, but um and we would be willing to go further and ship in more if other countries that know do not have commitments right now. what also chip and those that are
11:20 am
economically prosperous, those that are large historical emitters. um we can do more if they come in. are they likely to come in? everything that happens at cobb is famously non binding. so is this really going to make a difference? as well, i think that, you know, the paris agreement is really a very resilient agreement, and we see that although the 100000000000 was a political commitment, we have accountability and we stand by that accountability and i think for other countries that are now playing a leadership role a role uh wanting to have that leadership role across the world with that leadership role also comes responsibility and the expectations are large and the needs are great. so we need to all be working together in order to get more finance and mobilization of private sector finance, which is also quite important to those countries that need it most. and for that we
11:21 am
need more countries to come in. i think that expectation is clear and the pressure is also there is talk about accountability, a global carbon emissions from fossil fuels reached a record high in 2023. the un just now came out warning. the 2024 is the 1st year. the world actually cracked the 1.5 to free global warming target set in the paris agreement. so i really want to ask you, what's the point of comp, if there seems to be no real political will to make the changes, we need to avoid the climate catastrophe. if there is political will, we would be on a much higher rise of temperature up to $4.00 to $5.00 degrees or the projections without the paras agreement. however, we all need to be digging in and doing more. the european union is on track for our commitment. germany is on track for our commitment of a 65 percent reduction by 2030 a. but we need all to come in. we need the next round of the national climate plans
11:22 am
which are due next year requires all of us to spiral up our ambition. the g 20 particularly plays a key role. but we need these forms. we need the parents agreement because without it there would be no place for the most vulnerable countries to be at the table and it is about their very existence. so we are in a climate crisis. we need to move forward. and the good news is that the economy is actually shifting more renewable energy, double investment and renewables, then fossil fuels last year. yeah, i want to, to get into that all of us, especially when it comes to the g 20 nations because it of course includes the biggest polluters on the planet among them the united states and donald trump is widely expected to pull out of the parish climate accord again, once he's back in office, he promised to drill baby drill on many of his rallies. so how much is this presidency going to throw global efforts to tackle climate change off course?
11:23 am
i mean what i'm experiencing here, but it doesn't need to be here. it's really about the economy. what we are seeing is a positive tipping point in renewable energy and moving forward on that tripling renewables that we all agreed last year. as i said, double the investment and renewables, then fossil 85 percent of new power plants are renewable. and according to the international agents energy agency, where these numbers come from, we will likely see an oversupply, a glut of gas in 2026 and a peak of fossil fuels and 2030. so if you're looking at big deals and numbers of where you can have prosperity for your country, this is the area. and what we are seeing is germany and are over 40 partnerships with countries around the world. is they want to go into this area of renewables and efficiency because they want and need the jobs for economic development. they
11:24 am
need to reduce air pollution for human health. that's not what we heard from donald trump on the campaign trail at least, and he's not expected to support any future funding deal on combining climate change. so they're in by who may be already what alternatives are being discussed to bridge that potential shortfall. so the european union and other countries here, i can speak for the european union. we are the largest for finance servers for climate finance globally. we continue to move forward. we expect all countries, including, of course, the united states as the historical largest emitter, to continue to contribute. it's in all of our national interest to do so. and we're working here with countries to, to forge an ambitious and fair outcome by the end of this call. as jennifer morgan, germany special envoy for international climate policy. thanks so much for your time. you're welcome. and some other world news
