Up u. S. Secretary of state mike compact, who called the controversy as the 1st top american diplomat to visit the occupied Golan Heights of truth knocks someone, just shift in u. S. Foreign policy and just fighting fiction for a theme germany and theres a link also coronavirus numbers are still far too high. And weve made it was stopped work to the limit. Some hospitals are rocking for but Health Workers to ring into the profession and help fill the gaps. You want to know says story short. Im jared reed. Thank you for joining me. E. U. Leaders have not managed to end just a few. That is stalling its long term budget and the release of a measured c. Coronavirus funding. Now the diplomatic route is that of a poland and hungary which are unhappy about plans would allow the e. U. To block payments to countries. It just sides are corrupt or that file let the rule of law. The 2 countries say that these targets them. The deadlock involves some 1. 8, trillion, euros, nearly half of which is aimed at helping you deal with the effects of the pandemic. You know, hospital need to do in this hugging room is providing some comfort. The 2nd wave of covert 19 is hitting italy just as hard as the 1st wave did in the spring. And the economic consequences are equally rough. Italy, along with many other e. U. States, is anxiously awaiting a multimillion euro e. U. Finance package to help ease the crisis. But the funds are being blocked at a Virtual Summit on thursday. Hungary and poland used a veto powers to stall the funds from being distributed, saying that the conditions set for the payments go too far. Here we say no to all mechanisms that are meant to punish us like naughty children, and that treat poland and other countries on equally in poland and hungary object to a new rule of law. A mechanism that would allow the e. U. To block recovery funds to countries it sees as violating democratic norms. Slovenia also opposes the measure. German chancellor Angela Merkel stressing that there is more work to be done to get poland and hungary on board. The. We have every obligation to find a way forward. It is absolutely clear to all that this is an important issue. Its not an easy problem. I grant you that its a very serious problem that we have to solve on the table is the e. U. Budget of 1. 00 trillion euros for the next 7 years, including 750000000000. 00 euros of coronavirus aid. The Financial Plan needs unanimous support to be approved, and the latest veto from opposing Member States means a solution for this political fight. We pushed back to next months summit. In the meantime, governments around europe are desperate for policymakers to find a middle ground. But given these entrenched positions, its clear that pandemic is not the only crosses europe needs to solve. Well, d, w correspondent, visa has been following this. For us, we are, after the meeting, can the deadlock be solved . And one of the options it can be solved, of course, i mean, every crisis, somehow, even a hostage crisis like this in the european union. When the whole budget has been sort of taken. Even this crisis can be solved the easy, the normal way would be european leaders say they would head declaration to the rule of law making. Isnt that says simply we promise that every country here will be treated equally. So poland and hungary are not singled out that every country, if they sort of london, the democratic rules or sort of deconstruct them, will be admonished and in the end will be punished if that doesnt help. And if that doesnt help to get find climbdown for poland and hungary, then theres the socalled Nuclear Option that the remaining 2425. 00 countries would raise the money on the Financial Markets via intergovernmental contract. Its a bit complicated, legally, and technically, but it is doable. That was our process correspondent bayless take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. Today. In the u. S. State of georgia, say, and tally of votes cast in the president ial election confirms democrat, joe biden won the state. The recount of about 5000000 votes came from an audit required by a new state goal and was not due to any problems. We do. Original count and california authorities have announced they are imposing an overnight curfew in an effort to contain a spike in corona virus cases. The limited staying at home order will not require will require people not working essential jobs to stay home from 10 pm to 5 am the oldest dots this saturday will last until december, the 23rd. Well u. S. , secretary of state mike pompei, it is in the middle east on a trip that is breaking with established u. S. Foreign policy. Thursday visited a jewish settlement in the occupied west bank, an occupation still not recognized by much of the international community. And then he stopped in the israeli held gold in the Golan Heights, captured by israel from syria. In 1967, syria has condemned the visit as provocative. Its a 1st for his really American Relations and a parting gift from americas outgoing top diplomat. Mike pump. It was a visit to the Golan Heights, makes him the 1st u. S. Secretary of state to visit the disputed territory. Since israel sees the region in 1967, the United Nations may have rejected the annexation. But for pump a 0 in the trump administration, this is really lend you cant stand here and stare out at whats across the border and deny the central thing the president trip recognize that previous president s had refused to do. This is a part of israel, the center part of israel in another, unprecedented move pompei or made a stop to an israeli settlement in the west bank angering some palestinians who see legitimizes what they view as illegal israeli settlements. The secretary of state had no scheduled meetings with palestinian leaders. Some have called the trip a victory lap of sorts, a chance for the trumpet, ministration to highlight what it sees as its diplomatic success in the region. Including taking steps to legitimize israeli settlements. There for a long time, state Department Took the wrong view of settlements. It took a view that didnt recognize the history of the special place. And instead, now today that States Department of state stand strongly to the recognition that settlements can be done in a way that are lawful and appropriate and proper a stance that puts the us at odds with Many International bodies. And that could prove to be a stumbling block for incoming president elect. Joe biden. Will germanys Disease Control institute is warning that the national right of corona virus infections is still too high. More than 22000. New cases were recorded on thursday, but there are signs that the latest restrictions are working as the numbers begin to plateau. But the head of the robert cock institute says the situation is still very serious by tons and in schism the overall case numbers are much too high. The number of severe cases and the number of patients in intensive care are also on the rise. The number of deaths is also still very high. As we know, this is set lag in severe cases and deaths and it was cited for tomorrow. And as infection numbers in germany, increase hospitals are having to handle more and more critically ill covert 9000 patients. And theyre having to recruit more stuff to germanys parliament. Zuzana of uganda has been working here for 18 years. But she has another job too. When the corona pandemic hit germany, she volunteered to work part time as an intensive care nurse in berlin hospital. Just finished a 9 hour shift taking care of covert patients. Now shes come back into the office to finish off some work for her full time job. I cant stay at home with, a clear conscience. If my colleagues are slaving away in the i. C. U. , i have the training and can help. So i help. Theres no question about it. Im german hospitals are in dire need of help. Intensive care units are stretched thin. Chief nurse of the one of europes Largest Research hospitals. She has put her finger on the problem. Germanys Health Care System is facing we have enough ventilators, enough beds, enough masks, and gowns and gloves. But were worried that all the beds cant be used because we dont have enough personnel to deal with this. The shall have launched a campaign to rehire former Health Care Workers like zuzana. If you got she trained to be a nurse over 25 years ago, but decided to move into a different profession. In this all hands on deck situation, its people like her that are needed now intends if the icy use are running at full capacity. If one person is taking care of 3 or 4 covert patients, thats rough, you have very little time. After work, i leave the hospital with a sad feeling because i couldnt give the patients the attention that they deserve. Despite rising corona numbers, germanys Health Care System has not crashed yet, but hospitals were already understaffed, and the workload was too high before the pandemic. Despite all the problems, designer has rediscovered her passion for nursing care. She couldnt even imagine quitting her job in the, in the stock, but for that she says, hospital working conditions would need to improve to brazil now, where one of latin, americas largest outdoor museums is offering visit is a particularly immersive experience. After a months long lockdown, the museum which mixes manmade structures with the Natural World has finally reopened its direct. This is, it offers an alternative to the havoc of more traditional galleries. She can feel the sun and hear the earth. Nature experienced intensely in a room created by an artist, a shaft, goes down 202 meters. The sounds of the constantly shifting rocks are transported out of the glass pavilion focuses the visitors gaze on the surrounding rain forest. Its nature as an art object and at the same time as an all encompassing power from which humankind cannot escape. This constant interplay is the focus of the experience in the in whole chain, the Biggest Museum of its kind in the world. Over 300000 square meters, rain forest park landscape and modern art merge to become a complete work comes to force you or your its like eyedrops that clean your retina as you go from one artwork to the next. You dont have the kind of havoc that other galleries or Traditional Museum or sometimes organize where you look at so many works of art. You cant take it all in the classic with exact of it on d. V. D. In the legitimate narcissus garden, your own image, infinitely multiplied, is driven by the wind through the landscape. Freedom. After months of lock down, the in whole chain has finally opened again. A huge darkness and the ambiance is relaxing. It relieves a bit of our burdens. Its an escape from the chaos of the pandemic. Here you have the feeling that everythings ok, that the baby is the destruction of nature, locked up in a glass. Geodesic, dome guns and machetes, plunge into the wax cast of an operative tree, progress, destruction, and violence, coexist in the brazilian rain forest. Ok, you catch, but still, i think art can be an opportunity for reflection and a mediator in these conflicts. The cultural institutions and museums are working very hard to achieve that they raise Peoples Awareness and a kind of temple to the guardians of the forest. A Photo Exhibit pays tribute to the culture of the Indigenous Peoples with a yellow mommy as an example. Numbers instead of names, photos of a Vaccination Campaign to protect against deadly diseases which the intruders brought in when they cut a highway through the rain forest. Images of vulnerability and strength both a hope and a warning. Because the struggle for the survival of the true rulers of the forest continues. This is, did, i mean doc field is next . Dont go away. Theres more on dot com. And if you dont mean you stop, you can follow us on twitter. Ive had to dump the news, im tired. Read about and you hear me now . Oh yes, were going to do you and how the last years german chancellor will bring you. Im going to map cost and youve never had to have the full surprise yourself with what is possible. Who is magical, really, what moves time and want somebody who talks to people who followed her along the way. Maurice and critics who want to join us for metals last ounce of your country is threatened by the water. The safe supposed to be is right on top of the world. Its not as boat or house. Its a hybrid. Clement geo cities happening. Its not happening in future, or possibly its already going on. Its the future of humanity is in the sea levels will continue to rise, but by how much the earth is getting hotter. The polar ice caps are melting. In greenland and antarctica, the ice is receding. 6 times faster than expected. Sea levels around the world are rising. G. O. Ma, the Helmholtz Center for research, is located in kiel, germany. Some of the worlds top climate experts work here, including moji blood, teef, who studies Global Warming and its effects using golson ice ponds. These enormous ice caps hold an immense amount of water. Just imagine if they were to melt away completely. Good global sea levels would rise by about 60 meters cease meter. An increase of that magnitude would radically alter the earths geography. Much of Northern Europe could be submerged, the netherlands would vanish underwater. But even a small increase would have a major impact. Major cities in coastal regions and further inland would be flooded. That includes london, boston, shanghai, washington, d. C. , and mumbai. Yes, and that wont happen for decades or even centuries. But if we dont limit Global Warming, it will eventually be unstoppable. And that is even if we stop emitting Greenhouse Gases and hireling, it will be its very late. The melting of these huge sheets of ice a dynamic systems, if they reach a tipping point, sea levels could rise along very quickly. And this is a sign of a gun type yet. We know that happened at the end of the last ice age. We dont know if it could happen today, and encrease of one meter, or even 3 meters, is possible by the end of the century or so that i make a commitment. So sea levels are rising and eventually many coastal regions might be reclaimed by the ocean. Since the 19th Century Global mean sea level, these have risen by about 20 centimeters in the South Pacific sea levels are rising 2 to 3 times faster than the global mean. The island nation of tuvalu might be the 1st to be swallowed by the way fully one half of the netherlands lies just one meter above sea level. One quarter is below sea level. The country is protected by a system of polders, dikes and dams. But for how long the netherlands is developing innovative concepts to deal with the projected rise in sea levels. Here in amsterdam, a Pilot Project has created an entire community of Floating Homes such a glass, or is a Founding Partner of the space and matter architectural studio. He and his family now live in one of the house boats. A small Building Initiative began acquiring these sites about 10 years ago. Theres room for about 30 homes, houseboats. Here are nothing new, but this project is one of a kind living on the water is incredible. So its a dream come true for me. This place feels like a vacation home. You come back from work and you feel relaxed, and like youre on vacation, you remember him with such a design. The house himself has plenty of living space spread out over 3 levels. You wont find this kind of conflict on a traditional houseboat. These jesse connects the floating settlement to the mainland. Weve got connections to the power grid, sewage and water systems, the internet and so on. Its a plug and play concept. Its simple and it works really well. As its like when you pull your motorhome into a camping site thats connected the entire infrastructure system for the one who had the infrastructure or with a living on the water gives you a lot of looks ability. You can expand the community quickly, make it smaller. You can reconfigure it again and again, theres a concept has a bunch potential these Floating Homes generate much of their own energy with photovoltaics solar panels. Right now the site is purely residential. But sasha believes that this might change one day. Our vision is not limited to house boats. You could also have voting schools, offices, and supermarkets, just about any sort of structure. Actually. A studio Architectural Firm is located in the town of rice, like the company was founded by kuhn an old house. Hes known around the world for developing Floating Solutions to problems posed by Climate Change under the eyes ation of water architects. For me, that means that you use water to make cities better, so will quietly try to take advantage of the water by building on water by taking the flexibility of the water of death created these that are more efficient and more adaptable. The dutch have been taming the water and fighting the rising and falling tide for centuries. In artificial country, we are live on the me from the sea level, but we did build some dikes around it. I mean, pump water out. So now we have a dry country, but of course with Climate Change, more Sea Level Rise becomes keep everything drained. So we now have to see whats the next next step in this fantastic machine because in their lives. But if sea levels continue to rise, the netherlands will be among the 1st countries that have to deal with the
