Well, 103 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: let's turn to the latest news out of the Middle East. Next, 104 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 2: Israel's ambassadors to the United States calling for the resignation 105 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: of the UN's Secretary General Antonio Guterish after heated exchanges 106 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: at the Security Council. This as the UN's aid agency 107 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: in Gaza says it will run out of. 108 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: Fuel by the end of today. 109 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: Are head of Middle East and North Africa coverage, Stuart 110 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: Livingston Wallace joins us now for more. So, you were 111 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 2: good morning to you what happened at the UN Security 112 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: Council that led to this call for the Secretary General's resignation. 113 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning, Steven. Yeah, it was high drama, and 114 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 7: I mean, I won't repeat the comments that were made 115 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 7: by the side because you very cleverly had them earlier on. 116 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 7: But I think it really highlights the challenges that were 117 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 7: saying at the UN. I mean, if you think about 118 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 7: the Secretary General's position, he's there to represent or he's 119 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 7: head of one hundred and ninety three members of that body, 120 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 7: and obviously that includes Israel and its allies, as well 121 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 7: as adversaries such as Iran, not to mention in a 122 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 7: countries such as Egypt and Jordan that recognized Israel but 123 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 7: have criticized its policies. So he's trying to try to 124 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 7: sort of a difficult line and it's I don't ever 125 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 7: hear in the position I have to say, but I 126 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 7: think more widely than that, again, it shows I think 127 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 7: the tensions that we're seeing really at the international level. 128 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 7: So we've had a sort of succession of global leaders 129 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 7: that have come to Israel to sort of discuss the situation, 130 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 7: to try and stop it escalating beyond the immediate conflict, 131 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 7: and that really has involved just about everyone ready on 132 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 7: the international stage. And again, I think all of those 133 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 7: leaders are trying to find what is the right language, 134 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 7: what is the right line to take in terms of 135 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 7: trying to contain the situation. You know, Ultimately, I think 136 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 7: that is the goal of all of them, is to 137 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 7: stop it flaring up right across the region because there 138 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 7: is a real risk of that happening. 139 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And on that note, US diplomatic efforts are also continuing. 140 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: Joe Biden talking to the Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin 141 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: Salman to what did those leaders discuss? 142 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: What emerged? 143 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would say there was nothingarticularly knew 144 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 7: that came out of those talks. Again, the focus really 145 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 7: seemed to be twofold Number one, contain the situation, you know, 146 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 7: how do we stop this spreading right across the Arab 147 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 7: world and then obviously into Iran as well. And then 148 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 7: obviously the issue of aid getting into kaza was you know, 149 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 7: certainly something the Saudis were pushing for. But again sort 150 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 7: of if we take a step back from that and 151 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 7: think about, you know, what are the implications for Saudi Arabia. 152 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 7: This was a country that had not signed the Abraham Calls, 153 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 7: that is sort of the recognizing and establishing diplomatic ties 154 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 7: with Israel, but fell up until a few weeks ago 155 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 7: that it was getting awfully close to that. So it 156 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 7: does put Sadi Arabia in a difficult position, and that 157 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 7: it you know, the Grownd Princes had come out on 158 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 7: US television several weeks ago to say, look, it feels 159 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 7: like we're making headway on this we're making progress and 160 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 7: now finds himself in a position that is very, very 161 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 7: difficult to navigate because of the situation on the ground. 162 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 7: And again, emotions are running incredibly high on all sides 163 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 7: with this particular conflict. 164 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: We've also been looking at the situation in Gaza. The 165 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: small trickle really of trucks that have been allowed into 166 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: the territory eight according to the Red Crescent in the 167 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: latest convoy. What progress is being made on that front. 168 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: There's some more warnings we've had about the humanitarian situation 169 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 2: in the territory. 170 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 7: No exactly, I mean, the short answer is not very much. 171 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 7: And again the context that you gave the trickle is 172 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 7: absolutely spot on. Gaza has in excess of two million 173 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 7: people there. Small convoys of aid are certainly very welcome, 174 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 7: certainly very needed, but they don't really make a dent 175 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 7: in the situation. And again, remember the electricity, or at 176 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 7: least the power plant. The single power plant has been 177 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 7: off for some time now, so they're relying on generators. 178 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 7: There is fuel, but again that will eventually run short. 179 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 7: Gaza as a whole is a territory that basically has 180 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 7: to import almost everything. You know, there's not much in 181 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 7: the way of agriculture or industry. So it is very 182 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 7: very reliant on those imports. And a few trucks coming 183 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 7: across the board from Egypt help, but they're not really 184 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 7: a solution. 185 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and certainly that warning from the uns I did, 186 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: and seeing Gaza saying that they could run a few 187 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 2: listeners today which could stop their aid efforts, something that 188 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 2: could complicate that further as well. To bring us back 189 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: to the diplomacy, then you talked about the Western leaders 190 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: who've been traveling to Israel. French President Emanuel Macron was 191 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 2: there yesterday as well. He also went to the West 192 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 2: Bank to meet Mahamad Abas was a manual Macron's commentary 193 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: of nose or different from those who came before. 194 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 7: Him, It was marginally different. So I mean, again not 195 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 7: to exaggerate that it was wildly different. It certainly wasn't. 196 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 7: And it's clear that the sort of the main focus 197 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 7: on the main mission really was what we're seen from 198 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 7: the previous leaders, which was to try and sort of 199 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 7: delay things a little bit and to contain the situation. 200 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 7: We have actually lost count because we were trying to 201 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 7: add this up yesterday of just how many leaders have 202 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 7: been in over how many days, But it's been one 203 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 7: a day for as long as you know, really as 204 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 7: long as this has been going on, and so far, 205 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 7: I think you could argue that they have been quite 206 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 7: success in delaying what felt a couple of weeks ago 207 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 7: like an absolutely inevitable ground and I certainly think that 208 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 7: is still you know, a fairly likely outcome. Certainly you 209 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 7: can say it is one of the possibilities. So it's 210 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 7: not like that that has gone away, but he does 211 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 7: feel like it is sort of delaying that and that 212 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 7: that sort of allows more time to sort of think about, well, 213 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 7: what is the situation and fundamentally what comes after. So 214 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 7: what Macahon said was a little bit different maybe, and 215 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 7: I'm not saying that the other leaders have not mentioned 216 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 7: this in private, but he was a bit more explicit 217 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 7: about sort of calling, you know, ultimately for a revival 218 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 7: of the peace talks in the Middle East and that 219 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 7: you know, Palestinian statehood should be considered, that needs to 220 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 7: be back on the table, and ultimately that would be 221 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 7: for the benefit of everyone's security. So he did to 222 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,599 Speaker 7: take a marginally different line, but I wouldn't want to 223 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 7: exaggeration and say that it was wildly different to the rest. 224 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 7: We have the Austrian Chancellor due in Israel today. Again 225 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 7: that's sort of the next leader coming up, and we'll 226 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 7: see who comes after that. But again, so far, we 227 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 7: did get some reporting from within Israel over the last 228 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 7: few days that there is a little bit of a 229 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 7: rethink about the scope of the ground war, but that 230 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 7: is in no way to suggest that the ground war 231 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 7: is completely off the table. I mean, I think again 232 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 7: with three hundred thousand reservists called up, and obviously again 233 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 7: after the trustites that we saw on October seventh, you know, 234 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 7: I think a great a greater well, the original goal 235 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 7: of basically destroying Hamas, that doesn't feel like it's changed. 236 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: Okay, Stewart Livinson Wallace are head of Middleast in North Africa. 237 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: Thank you very much for bringing us up to date 238 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 2: on that story. Let's go to Germany next, where, even 239 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: with one of the most powerful green politicians in charge, 240 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: the country is failing on almost all of its climate targets. 241 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Petrosorga has been looking at the track record of 242 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck, and she joins us now for more. 243 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Petra, what did Habek's Green Party 244 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: set out to achieve as part of the coalition in 245 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 2: Germany Good morning. 246 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 8: They definitely had a very ambitious goal, which was reaching 247 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 8: the Paris climate goal, at least of bringing Germany on 248 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 8: track of that. They were successful in the coalition treaties 249 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 8: to actually write that there, and they have also wanted 250 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 8: to reduce some of the heavy bureaucracy for a renewables expansion. 251 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 7: We had to. 252 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 8: Double the speed of wind and triple for solar to 253 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 8: reach twenty thirty climate targets. And there's also the goal 254 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 8: that they had of accelerating coal phase out. Germany is 255 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 8: very heavily dependent on fossil fuels and instead of the 256 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 8: current date twenty thirty eight, they wanted to move forward 257 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 8: that date to twenty thirty ideally, as they wrote in 258 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 8: the coalition contract. 259 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: So what's gone wrong then in their ambitions? 260 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 8: So for the last target for coal phase out, we 261 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 8: don't see any any more movement. We had at least 262 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 8: one of the two big German coal miners has agreed 263 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 8: to move that day forward, which is Rwe in the East, 264 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 8: you don't see any progress, and we also see a 265 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 8: much more heavy dependence on call with the energy crisis 266 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 8: and gas missing out and nuclear being phased out. This 267 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 8: winter we will see more LINI capacity back on the market, 268 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 8: and that's of course one thing that is not on track, 269 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 8: but many other things are not working out in other sectors, 270 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 8: especially when you look at the housing sector. That was 271 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 8: one of the most contentious this year. At the beginning 272 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 8: of the year, Germany's Climate Minister Robert Habock, who's also 273 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 8: the Vice Chancellor, proposed to ban new fossil fuel boilers 274 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 8: from next year, which caused a national outcry because for 275 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 8: the first time climate policies were actually going to hit 276 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 8: people's homes, people's heating, so he had to considerably roll 277 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 8: back that law and it's now reaching less only three 278 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 8: thirds of the emissions targeted at the beginning, and we 279 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:08,359 Speaker 8: also had rollbacks inteen energy goals from municipal heating networks. 280 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 8: The coalition also shelf plans for tough efficiency standards in 281 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 8: the houses, so that's been one of the main problems. 282 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 7: Also. 283 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe, your morning brief on the 284 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: stories making news from London to Wall Street and beyond. 285 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed every morning, on Apple, 286 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: Spotify and anywhere you get your podcasts.
