These brakes are single-pivot side-pull caliper brakes. They can work well, but only if they are well made - I personally never had much luck with Weinmann brakes.
For the rear brake, pretty much the only thing you can try is replacing the brake pads. The front ones don’t look very worn, but the rubber gets hard with age and loses its effectiveness.
The front brake looks broken beyond repair. The part I circeled red should be attached to the green part, but the connecting part seems to have broken off.
You might be able to find a replacement, but I would recommend replacing the whole brake for a better one.

Excellent, thank you very much!
It is fixed, for anyone wondering. I was able to get a replacement part and didn’t have to change the brakes!
They work a lot better now
