and, and francis frances, not alone. there are many e member states that are looking towards nuclear energy, especially those in eastern europe that used to be, are, are still our coal reliant and are moving away from coal. they are i nuclear energy and they're only a very few e u member states left that are really totally against against this. say is this and all this likely to pass on this sir proposal now are this draft law am is the marks the beginning of a 14 day consultation process than in 2 weeks time. there will be a final proposition on a proposal by, by the commission, which will be voted on both in the counsel of you member states and then later on in the parliament. and at this time, it does not look like that this will law will be vetoed. it's very likely that we will have a green label for nuclear energy the future in the next sunday in brussel. thank you. all right, let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making use around the world to day. a major fire has broken out in the south african p

it's like a welcome gift at the start of france's e u. presidency. the european commission plans to classify investment in natural gas and nuclear energy as climate friendly, under certain conditions to that and a draft law was sent to e u. member states, shortly before the new year, the commission believes gas and nuclear power could help smooth transition into a future based primarily on renewables. france, poland, and the czech republic have been campaigning for more than a year to have nuclear power classified as sustainable. it's no secret that france needs investors to fund renovation to its existing, 56 reactors and to finance new ones. the so called e u. taxonomy is a classification system designed to establish and list of environmentally sustainable activities worthy of investment. mr. companies will be obliged to report not only their financial status, but their sustainability too. but the debate over nuclear power was green credentials has split the you. germany's economy and climate protection minister, hobbit harbor had strong words of c

here we have the main main players here at germany and france. the 2 biggest and most influential u member states, a germany itself as against nuclear power is facing out nuclear power in germany by the end of 2022. but the german chancellor will or shelter taking more of it seems to be taking more of a conciliatory approach on some other members of the german government are bit more outspoken like robot harbor who just are heard and in the, in the report. but france or the other side is the main driver of a boosting nuclear power. with, with it within the block of the country itself is more than 50 nuclear power plants and they're continuing to building power plants that need money for, for investments, for reform, for, for maintenance, preferably sustainable money and france is not alone. the majority of u. member states have nuclear power plants and they want to continue to operate them. polling for example, is one good example, a country that's heavily dependent on coal and has to phase out is cool, is now looking for at nuclear energy and sa

u. presidency, france last held 13 years ago. the position gives the french more influence over the future of the european union. a more capable europe with its own army is paris is top most ambition. it's referred to as strategic autonomy. what that means is a more suffering, more independent europe, particularly when it comes to the issue of defense. do you feel that your needs to be more stronger? well, i'm not sure that that's a good idea, but i, i, even, i, i think that we are, we depend too much on the united states now or so. i believe we will be taken more seriously by other countries. if we had a european army before we have an army, let's have a union. frances agenda for the union also includes relaxing roles to allow e u. countries to borrow more money to finance big infrastructure projects and trying to bring the block to consensus on the long standing thorny issue of migration in december, emmanuel con, summed up the goal of francis e u presidency. this way is ridiculous. hoopa said, you know, we need to move from be

louis in breast a france where the you ministers are, are meeting. lisa put this in perspective for us. what role does the european union play in diffusing tensions and resolving the crisis on ukraine's border? well, the e is obviously underlining that it is talking to the years that it's been debrief by the years that it's really involved in all these talks. but as you said beforehand, actually then they're not sitting at the negative negotiating table. that's down to the fact that the european union is very much divided amongst member states. they don't really know what starts to take towards russia on the ukraine issue. and that's why they don't have one international voice and are not really perceived as a strong do you political partner now with the you side lined, and the drumbeats of war becoming louder. what are the potential consequences for the block itself? if russia decides to invade ukraine, well, if that really were to happen for a ministers here have said today that they would then impose toughest sanctions on russia. and obviously, it

and i think they'll be a full split between germany and france. some divergence of opinion, but the argument here is already done. you know, germany said it's closing down its last nuclear power plants by the end of this year. it's not a huge political battle here anymore. at european level, germany's in the minority other countries see nuclear as the answer in the face of climate change. and do they even point to germany is a sinner on, on climate change in terms of its continued burning of coal? so i think the germans will perhaps point to the question of a final storage location for nuclear waste. that's something that hasn't been sold . how do you, how and where you store the waste, the thousands of years. that's a difficult one for people to answer. but after winning the overall question, i think berlin can't do that at european level. alright, e w political correspond, simon, young reporting for us from prison. aah! israel has become the 1st country in the world to offer a 4th dose of the corona, virus vaccine, 2 at risk groups. that include

you still got france, italy, and other european eastern countries that are for this. and so i think it, we hard for germany or other countries that are not in favor to steve. off of the 2, you might see some compromise on the wording of some of the policy, but i think nuclear and gas will probably still will be considered green energy in the future. we wait and see massy more. thanks so much. and finally, some sport news before we go in paris, sasha monster lino messy has become the latest footballer to test positive for the corona of ours. the forward got the news while on holiday in his hometown of rosario, in argentina, he's among 4 p s g placed test positive with several other top european clubs, including by munich, liverpool and barcelona, all badly affected black iran of ours room. and that is all the nice for now up next world stories joined a group of young people who will have autism on a silent trip that's coming up after a short break. come, anthony house for me and the team here in berlin. many think to be a company, an avenue her.

so the france is looking for investors to come in. right. and the france is not alone here. a lot of u. member states rely on nuclear energy, especially those a in, in eastern europe that are heavily relied on coal so far. and now when a transfer to nuclear energy. so there's a lot more member states actually pro nuclear energy at the moment. just a handful like luxembourg, austrian portugal with very little political weight. we're against this. okay. met sunday and russell, thanks so much. south korea's military says an unidentified person has crossed into the border across the border into that north korea. the army detected the person in the demilitarized zone and surveillance equipment later showed that the person had crossed into north korea. bought a region between the 2 countries, contains millions of land mines and it is one of the most heavily armed places in the world. it's more unless we can frustrate to frank smith, a journalist in sol, the capital of south korea. thanks for joining us. frank. how is it that someone can cross the border? that is considered one of

you still got france, italy, and other european eastern countries that are for this. and so i think that we hard for jeremy or other countries that are not in favor to steve. off of the 2, you might see some compromise on the wording of some of the policy, but i think nuclear and gas will probably still will be considered green energy in the future. we wait and see, messy more. thanks so much. all right, coming up next sports life and the story of a german hopeful joining the world's most northerly, husky race. that's after a short break. i'll be back at the top of the out.

so it's really important to france, this is a big victory for france, but also a bit of a kind of kick in the teeth for the germans layer. right. and, but it's not just nuclear in this scenario is not noise, social gas am. and the other aspect of this draft proposal would allow certain gas plants that are built before 2030 and meet certain criteria to also be classified as green. know that sam? something that actually might suit the german government bizarrely because germany needs to fall of at the gap left behind by the the decision to close down nuclear power plant. and i actually, the gas aspects of this has been welcomed by the f d p. the other coalition partner and government. so which gives you an idea of the kind of the debate going on in berlin at the moment. but energy experts are not happy about it because they're saying i'm one of them actually, who advises that the commission on the rule says that this basically has put a head above the parapet to raise objections to the she said she went on linked 10, we can actually so sure, the clip here, the statement you put on there,

and, and i think it was important for france to show that it was possible. it was important to continue the dialogue with russia and to clarify each other's positions. and this is what the discussed now france called with russia this morning and then later with ukraine. ok, sort of contribute to the overall european and trust. i don't think diplomatic effort to find a way to de escalate the situation in the ukrainian russian border. i think what we can expect now is that france will turn to nato and european allies, discuss what has been said with the president of russia, and see what ways could be explored for more talks in the, in the next days, i want to get your view on this, of course, france and germany are making a concerted ad diplomatic, a push to diffuse prospect of, of potential ground war is paris, worried about the american approach to ukraine? tensions? so the, actually, there is quite a remarkable coordination among other departments during this crisis is something that has to be noted because we've seen over the past year criticisms from euro
