How many medical stocks were filled in there is some talk, a little thing for my Health Workers to reenter the profession and hope fill the gaps. You want, this is a story short im very, thank you for joining me. E. U. Leaders have not managed to end a dispute that is stalling its long term and the release of a message and see coronavirus funding. Now the diplomatic hour is over, poland, and hungary, which are unhappy about plans that would allow the e. U. To block payments to countries that it decides a corrupt or violate the rule of law. Now these 2 countries say that these targets them, the deadlock involves 1. 8, trillion, euros, nearly half of which is aimed at helping the e. U. Deal with the effects of the pandemic. Possible to new today in this hugging room is providing some comfort to the 2nd wave of coded. 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. Then yeah, 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 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. 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. 8 trillion euros for the next 7 years, including 750000000000 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 crisis europe needs to solve. Well, d, w correspondent, visa has been following this summit for us. We asked 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 the 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 ed the 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, but 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 this socalled Nuclear Option that the remaining 24. 00 or 25. 00 countries would raise the money on the Financial Markets via intergovernmental contract. Its a bit complicated, legally, and technically, but it is doable. And that was our correspondent in brussels there. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. Today. Officials in the u. S. State of georgia say i had tele, of cost in the president ial election confirms that democrat, joe biden won the state.

And he stopped in the israeli held Golan Heights captured by israel from syria in 1967, syria has condemned the visit as provocative. Its a 1st for israeli 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 and the trump administration, this is really land you keep you cant stand here and stare out at whats across the border and deny the central thing the president rep recognized that previous president s had refused to do. This is a part of israel, the center part of israel in another, unprecedented move, pumping. You 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, the state Department Took the wrong view of settlements. They took a view that we 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 waffle and appropriate and proper, a stance that puts us at odds with Many International bodies.

Next, theres more on our website, e. W. Dot com. Thanks for watching, take care and states. I can imagine how many push the old loves us turn out in the world. Climate change is very awful story. This is my place in a way from just one week. How much worse can really get we still have time to ask. Im going this process your country is threatened by the water. So supposed to be is right on top of the water. Its not as boat or a house, its a hybrid climate curiositys happening. Its not happening in the future, or possibly its already going on. Its the future of humanity. Just 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. Geo mark 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. These are also an ice plant. These enormous ice caps hold an immense amount of water. Just imagine if they were to melt away completely. Gooden global sea levels would rise by about 60 meters. Seas made 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, that wont happen for decades or even centuries. But if we dont limit Global Warming, it will eventually be unstoppable then that even if we stop emitting Greenhouse Gases and hireling, it will be its very late. As a bell for these huge sheets of ice, a dynamic systems, if they reach a tipping point, sea levels could rise a lot very quickly. This is an epigram 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. I thought that i would a bit and then the sea levels are rising and eventually many coastal regions might be reclaimed by the ocean. Since the 19th Century Global mean sea levels 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. Sasha glasses is a Founding Partner of the space and matter architectural studio. And he and his family now live in one of the houseboats. 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. Its a dream come true for me. This place feels like a big hospital if you come back from work and you feel relaxed and like youre on vacation, remember designed the house himself. Theres plenty of living space spread out over 3 levels. You wont find this kind of comfort on a traditional houseboat. Connects the floating settlement to the mainland. Weve got connections to the power grid, sewage water systems, the internet, and so on. Its a plug and play concept. Its simple and it works really well. It was as good as its like when you pull your motorhome into a camping site, thats connected the entire infrastructure system and others for one who voted for it to work with a living on the water gives you a lot of the flexibility when you can expand the community quickly or make it smaller. You can reconfigure it again. And again, this concept has a huge 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 boat. You could also have voting schools, offices and supermarkets, just about any sort of structure. Actually. A water studio Architectural Firm is located in the town of rye strike. The company was founded by kuhn an old house. Hes known around the world for developing Floating Solutions to problems posed by Climate Change and of an isolation 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 faking 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 tied for centuries in artificial country. We are live on the me from the sea level and what we did. We built 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 dry. So we now have to see whats the next next step in this surf investing machine because the netherlands body of sea levels continue to rise. The netherlands will be among the 1st countries that have to deal with the impact. You know, we have to take a lot of effort to keep everything dry. And i think what other architects and other countries can learn from the dutch is that true, never can sit still. You have to, to think of the next, next steps in your ear, city and your country. And we call this building for change and building for change makes its that you have to be flexible. We have to be ready for any change in politics, in technology, in climate, in whatever comes to us. And we debts, we have to make sure that we can create new cities, towns in visions, what he calls the blue sea, a floating metropoli
