Medical oxygen is running out. And the space project thats no longer just Science Fiction or europes planning to save the world from catastrophic collision with asteroids hollywood star. As well come to the program on the line has given 1st state of the Union Address as European Commission president and that she set out a vision for making the European Union more resilient and uniteds to confront future crises on the line double down on the goals she set out when she took office last december. Also love underly in ahead of her 1st arab state of the union speech waiting to unveil more ambitious climate goals for the block we need to go faster and we need to do things better the European Commission is proposing to increase the 2030 targets for Emission Reduction to at least 55 percent catching emissions and becoming climate neutral by 20. 00 to 50. 00 are part of the European Green deal one of underlined speed priorities at the situation taken partly due to the mounting pressure of climate activists but ramping up the instrument targets its not enough for some i expect those of us on the lion to keep on working with her commissioners and really to put pressure on the council because we know that there are Member States who are not willing to do what we need to do when funder line took office late last year she presented a long list of projects by the code 19 pandemic slowed down many of them or brought them to hold she now said its the years 1st priority to pull each other through this that you commission chief also put a focus on human rights not only calling out chinas treatment of minorities but also criticizing your member said poland for introducing socalled free cell phones l g b t q i have free zones are humanity free zones funder line also said the e. U. Finally has to decide on a solution on how to handle migration one of the most disputed topics among Member States saving lives at sea is not optional and those countries will fulfill their legal and more duties or are more exposed than others must be able to rely on the solidarity of our. Whole European Union underlines commission will present a long awaited proposal for a new pact on migration on september 23rd and its hair who will be judged on its outcome. Of a more on this lets cross over to do w. Respond. In brussels go faster and better that sounds good but we just heard in our piece that not everyone agrees with the huge eve on Climate Policy how is she going to find Common Ground. Exactly get it will be interesting to see that her business targets will be discussed at a summit here in october the aim is to win over those countries particularly in the east of europe who are heavily relying on carbon intensive energy like coal in poland for instance now hows she going to accomplish that i will she has an interesting approach to this and she wants to turn a crisis into a chance which means she wants to take 30 percent of the money from the bailout package that has been agreed by Member States to tackle the coronavirus effects and put that money into green energies and now lets say she would put a lot of those 30 percent into those countries that of most are unhappy about that new approach she might as well not find new Common Ground but actually by that Common Ground but she also called for a European Health union what exactly does she have in mind. You know thats an interesting goal of 2 objectives here one is more money and one has more power more money for research in the field of medical diseases for instance more power more power for instance for the medical agency that only recently has been shifted from from london to europe to the netherlands and the idea here really is europe has not a lot of powers its mainly of Member States who have the powers for instance when it comes to the issue of health and here the idea is where as an International Trade deals for instance the e. U. Has something to say and is beyond Member States and here the idea is that on on Health Issues it would actually be helpful to give you a simple example what areas in europe are risk areas regarding coronavirus well brussels from a german perspective is a risk area but from a belgian perspective its not red its only orange. Migration of course also on top of the agenda right now and that continues to divide the union 5 years after the crisis of 2015 from the line now wants to present a new migration plan later this month how would it different from the current plan if there was one. Well i think that is what many i mean ive been wondering as well and seeing that she gave such a broad speech cover covering so many issues im sure many any piece would have liked to hear more on that particular topic because really a lot depends on this proposal because it will be this proposal who needs to win over Member States who have been resisting for instance the relocation of migrants and it will be a proposal that needs to break a 5 year long deadlock in the e. U. Now what has she said about it she says opening legal pathways that will be interesting to what extent she can achieve that and also a clear distinction between asylum and migration so sending people back more effectively on the extra borders that will also be could also be a deal breaker for some Member States you know use europe correspondent go matters in brussels thank you. And to japan now where he has been formally elected as the countrys new Prime Minister is confirmation comes after a vote in parliament he replaces outgoing shinzo who resigned earlier this month for Health Reasons as he takes over the helm of the worlds 3rd largest economy so guys expected to stick closely to policies champions by his predecessor. It was an easy victory for the former Prime Minister is a long time right hand man thank you yes she did a super one the parliamentary vote by a landslide. For the last 8 years he has occupied the powerful position of chief cabinet secretary as such he was defector number 2 to shinzo lobby and to kill in force of government policy as part of his effort to secure the top job he vowed to stick to those policies presenting himself as a safe pair of hands at a time of upheaval but his Top Priorities will be far from the coronavirus and turning around the economy battered by the pandemic.

He is not seen as a flamboyant all passionate person often described instead as someone who operates behind the saints hes also said to be a pragmatist rather than an idealist but some critics lamenting what they fear could be a lack of vision on his part. But in one respect he stands out from most of the japanese lawmakers he does not come from an elite political family he grew up in a rural part of the country as the son of a strawberry pharma and has now worked his way to the countrys top elected position.

Now where President Trump has approved a request borrow against the governor to declare federal emergency and boost government help to fight wildfires sweeping the state oregon Washington State and california have all been hit hard by record fires this year the w. s all of a solid is in california where he visited berry creek thats a Small Community thats been almost totally razed to the ground. Were entering the restricted area of the north complex fire one of the biggest wildfires in california history. Whole communities burned to the ground within hours more than a dozen people died in this section of the fire alone. Firefighter and even skydiver shows us the damage the very Creek Elementary School was completely destroyed and the wildfires still isnt fully contained. Our biggest challenge right now is the size of the fire with the resources that we have is there are so many large fires burning in california right now and to compound that the train in this area is very steep so we have inaccessible terrain the Mountain Community berry creek is at the epicenter of the fire many of the former 1400. 00 inhabitants lost everything to the flames knowing there is little they can do puts an additional strain on the 30000 deployed firefighters in california just makes me feel horrible you know people put their lives into this you know and to have a far just come through and destroy it all in an hour or 2 its its devastating only 25 percent of the wildfires around perry creek are contained trees are still smoldering but some areas have been inexplicably spared what happened here in the berry creek Mountain Community was like a little miracle because if you look behind me the whole forest was on fire buildings burned to the ground livelihoods destroyed and just a few steps further this very gas station and its gas pumps are still in place with the gas tanks underneath but this is just a rare exception it will take years for the community to recover.

The Israeli Army Says it has struck around 10 hamas military targets in the gaza strip the missile attacks early wednesday came in apparent retaliation for rocket fire from the hamas controlled territory the previous evening palestinians began firing rockets over the border at the same time a salmon he was being held in washington to mark the start of diplomatic relations between israel the United Arab Emirates and bahrain u. S. President donald trump hosted the white house ceremony placing himself in the role of International Peacemaker ahead of u. S. Elections in november. Thank you very much please the decision by the United Arab Emirates and bahrain to normalize ties with israel breaks decades of consensus within the arab world a peace deal with the palestinians has long been upheld as a prerequisite for establishing relations with israel. Trump and netanyahu are hopeful though that all the arab nations will follow suit creating a major shift in ties in the region. And the blessings of the peace we make today will be enormous 1st because this peace will eventually expand to include other arab states and old timidly it can and the arab israeli conflict once and for all. But the agreements do not address the core conflict between israel and the palestinians bahrains foreign minister also made it clear that it was too early to celebrate a just comprehensive and during 2 state solution to the palestinian israeli conflict will be the foundation the big draw of such peace. In the palestinian territories the new agreements have been met with anger. Morning sirens sounded as several rockets fired from the gaza strip hit israeli territory. Hundreds rallied in the occupied west bank and the gaza strip. This agreement today is an agreement that the trays the palestinian cause and stubbs the Palestinian People and this rainy in agreement is a withdrawal from the Arab Initiative on the arab unison. Or we say murderous normalization and this normalization is a betrayal of the trail to the palestinian cause and pan arab ism of course the Palestinian People denounce this agreement and the palestinian leadership has made it clear that only israels withdrawal from the occupied territories can bring peace but as israel and gaza again Exchange File that seems as far away a goal as ever.
