Way to fight a Global Warming. Of trees to say we should plant a trillion i mean the best enough space. To saudi arabia. In 2 weeks said the twitter sphere into a frenzy. Im a welcome to the program. African union mediators say opposition leaders and saddams bowling generals have reached a power sharing agreement under the deal a joint military a civilian council will rule the country for the next spring yes the countrys been shaken by protests since the ousting of longtime president obama. Will opposition leaders say the new deal is a victory for them movement. Celebrations in the capital hard to match as a political standoff deescalate in a gesture of peace sudans ruling military freed more than 200. 00 rebel fighters who are part of the countrys opposition a step towards reconciliation one rebel leader praised their release. In the images that it shows clearly that the army and the armed forces are our partners and not our enemy. I mean i want your cooperation and understanding we will meet the demands of the sudanese people the status of that those demands our 1st civilian rule its been the heart of the conflict which began after the military ousted long time leader Omar Al Bashir activists called for a transition to a civilian government an impasse ensued and then bloodshed in june Security Forces opened fire on a protest camp in the capital leaving more than 100. 00 dead but after a month the warring sides were at the table again in power sharing talks mediated by the African Union and ethiopia after 2 days a breakthrough was announced. The 2 parties have agreed to share the Sovereign Council equally between the. Military and civilian for the period of at least 3 years. With the they have also agreed on an independent civilian government under the leadership of the prime minister. In a further sign of healing they also agree to launch a National Independent investigation into the deaths of the sudanese who were killed in the fight for democracy. Has reported extensively from sudan welcome to the studio so this is no the 1st suppose a deal to be aired on so do you see todays announcement as significant it is quite significant it feels like a kind of step in what could be in the future a positive outcome its important to remember and to think of this for what it is its a power sharing deal its not a transfer of power to a complete civilian rule which was the main demand of the opposition from the beginning since december so insofar as it could in 3 years it remains to be seen if after this transitional period there are successful elections and then we would have civilian civilian rule however it is a culmination of almost 3 months of extremely Turbulent Times in sudan that have seen many ups and downs and weve been here before where it seems like there is a breakthrough there is an agreement and then somehow the military or the opposition something happens and then they back out of the deal so it remains to be seen if the deal holds but for now it seems like it is a step forward if power sharing rather than complete transfer of power ok so we have the military having seized power after the president went. Do we presume that the military will have the 1st go of being in charge in this in this power sharing arrangement correct so what we know of the deal now is that the country will be run by a Sovereign Council and the leadership of this council will be rotated and the 1st the military is up 1st they will be leading the Sovereign Council 1st for a period of i think a little bit over. 2121 months which which will put them in the ministry for Something Like 2 years i wonder what people think of this i mean its important to remember that all of this all of these negotiations all of this discussion is happening in the midst of a near internet blackout in sudan that is imposed by the government itself and the government the military council to be quite frank is in charge of also the formal means of communication so its a challenge to gauge what people think in that regard however we were able to reach some. Protestors on the ground ive been touch with some of them some have called this deal and ill write betrayal of one woman told me if they were willing to compromise the opposition then they should have just compromise with bashir and not put us through for. All of these months of violence and the people that have died others see this as a necessary compromise and that to get out of this crisis some compromise needed to be made in the t. N. C. Needed to be involved but everybody everyone that ive spoken to more or less they said this is this is bittersweet because a lot of the things that theyve demanded are not there and most significant of that is that theyre seeing the same faces on the military on the military council that were significant and prominent a time like hammett t. The militia commander of the r. S. S. And yeah so it remains to be seen where this goes will doubtless we will talk about this again in the future for him for now thank you. The most effective way to fight Global Warming is to plant lots of trees thats the conclusion of a swiss study thats just been delayed since young trees absorb Carbon Dioxide from the air as they grow the studys authors recommend planting around a trillion as a cheap is the most effective way of reducing the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere have by helping to slow Climate Change. One of the reports coauthors is professor tom crowther from the Swiss Federal Institute of technology in zurich a welcome to g. W. Didnt we already know the trees absorb Carbon Dioxide and there are lots of Tree Planting schemes already out there to offset environmental damage. Yes youre exactly right weve known that trees are an amazing carbon trap from the last well over the last century and there are projects out there trying to promote restoration but what this new study shows is actually weve got the 1st quantitative understanding of how much that can achieve and its actually 10 times more than we previously expected placing restoration far far higher than the next best Climate Change lucian so its really about figuring out the best ways to allocate our resources and now we know that restoration is a powerful way ok a trillion trees sounds like an awful lot how much space is that going to take out where would they go. So thats what weve modeled is where trees can exist on the planet and when you subtract away existing urban land and Agricultural Land were left with the worlds degraded lands and those that you can see some of that would naturally have trees and theres room for about more point 9000000000 as a forest in that land that could store 2 thirds of the excess carbon in the atmosphere because of human activity. Is that the political will to do this. At the moment there has been some political drive from the un leading the bond challenge in various countries have been involved but understandably those political decisions have been focused on restoration because weve simply not known whether restoration is one of the Top Solutions or even in the top 20 now that we know its not just the best solution but its by far the most powerful one we have i hope that is going to be a lot more energy focused towards restoration so if we plug these trillion trades what would happen or what would stop happening. So ultimately we we will be able to draw down a huge amount of the carbon thats in the atmosphere at once weve got that carbon locked up in trees thats 200. 00 gigatons out of the atmosphere and when you think that since the start of the Industrial RevolutionClimate Change has been caused by an excess 300. 00 gigatons we really see that that extra 200. 00 would be an incredibly powerful solution drawing down 2 thirds of that entire problem i what would the effects on the atmosphere what effect would i say so we immediately see a reduction in the Greenhouse Gas effect and thats whats driving Climate Change obviously theyd be various other impacts like changes to al vito which is the amount of energy absorbed by the surface of the earth and also volatile organic compounds but ultimately wed be undoing the impact that has led us to Climate Change so the vales with which we should be thinking about well most importantly this doesnt advocate for just simple global restoration of monocultures theres huge areas of land that are turning into tree farms and that is not what were advocating for this is Natural Restoration in ecosystems that should naturally support trees so we need Diverse Communities with a mixture of trees species and native species and that is how we get the most resilient Carbon Storage good talking to thank you for joining us professor tom crowther from the Swiss Federal Institute of technology thank you very much. Has agreed to accept dozens of migrants rescued by a humanitarian charity vessel in the mediterranean a boat carrying 55 people rescued off the libyan coast in return its illegal take 55 of migrants currently sheltering in the move ends a standoff between the charity mediterranea italys populist interior minister who had refused to allow the boats to dock with the migrants dont even make it very far at least 53 people were killed on tuesday when an strike hit an Migrant Detention Center in the libyan capital tripoli now there are plans to close the sentence. Esteban is the head of the u. N. H. C. R. Libya unit she joins us from the choosing capital tunis welcome to d. W. Could we start with these reports that the interior minister saying hes going to close down libyas Migrant Detention Centers if that happens what is likely to happen to the people being kept. Where we definitely are when this announcement that the government is considering to close the tensions anderson libya its something you need to hear has been advocating for years now we are ready and we stand ready to support anything needed to finally turn it is what would happen is out we would have to discuss them one down how that would go with other you in egypt is with with the government of course and see and look for solutions for each and every one of the migrants from the rift you support currently detained in libya. How do the migrants come to be there in the 1st place. Well refugees are coming from conflict countries countries where their life is at risk so theyre looking for International Protection there crossing the desert there walking by foot for days for weeks without food they are captive at the hands of smugglers where they are suffering immensely most of them try to reach t. V. And reach the media where they sometimes do work abuse and torture at the hands of smugglers where they trust they tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea and are sometimes returned back to libya where they are systematically detained so most of them have to try to attempt to press the mediterranean into for safety but they find themselves in Detention Centers in libya and theyre very very dark lets look at this point to return the e. U. Has done various deals with actors in libya aimed at reducing the flow of migrants across the mediterranean if they accept that libya is unsafe place to return migrants to what west should be. Well libya is not a safe country for refugees this is you any are we have been repeating this systematically but there are many on turning to as we do have a recess and then program for example for refugees who are living in the urban settings in the van not everyone is that dangerous 56000 refugees and Asylum Seekers who are not detained in libya there are other. There are surf i mean here and if occasion theres other solutions that can be explored ok that im not quite sure if youre dressed before because that sounds like dealing with people who are in libya where they might go when the e. U. Turns migrants back and sends them back to libya what you did to be suggesting that libya receives them and then passes them passes them elsewhere is that right. Well thats the Current Practice where we dont advocate for that of course we do not account for the return of any personal case of honors and i pray that was not my view its the e. U. Does return them to libya. And given that libya is not safe if they dont return to libya what should be you do with these people. Well we advocate for access to us and procedures access to International Protection and to follow the regular us helen procedures in that country. What sort of conditions of People Living in these Detention Centers. Well then this isnt an attention 10 years have been have been always very dire were talking about to find manned lots of people in small spaces where there are spread of diseases where theres a lack of services. But at present its even more worrisome because were talking about many Detention Centers that are actually in conflict areas so theres 3800. 00 refugees and migrants who are currently in the Tension Centers where active is conflict or it may be or may be active be active so in that case thats why we keep on advocating for evacuation opportunities out of libya where the closure of the Tension Center and to ensure that these refugees who are of a bunker are released so that theyre not trapped in areas of active conflict its very clear thank you so much for joining us apollo about achieving from the u. N. To something. Well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world turkish Authorities Say 3 people have been killed in a car bomb in the south of the country as a matter of time heard of him said the people inside the vehicle was syrians the blast occurred near the time right in the on the syrian border. At least 190 bodies have been recovered from a mass grave in syria where the Islamic State militant group once had a key stronghold the grave near the city of rocket contain the bodies of men and women thought to have been stoned to death but i asked militants.

Holocaust survivor ever most as core has died at the age of 85. 00 born in rumania she championed forgiveness for the people who carried out the atrocities of the holocaust she passed away during her annual trip to auschwitz to educate youth about the horrors of genocide. Novellas weyler has criticised a new report from the United Nations human rights chief and accused her of biased michelle basher that presented her report in geneva today it warns of the rule of law in venezuela has been eroded president Nicolas Maduro is still locked in a political standoff a self declared president one goh i dont bash that reporter is based on the venezuelan governments own figures and found that Security Forces loyal to president maduro have carried out nearly 7000 killings in the past year and a half many of them may have been extra judicial the report also said that nearly 800 people remain in custody after being arbitrarily arrested and that 1500 deaths over a period of 4 months or caused by a lack of hospital supplies. So this report makes more than 20 recommendations to venezuelas government including talking to the opposition rather than trying to break it down by encouraging government to view the opposition and human rights defenders us partners in the common cause of human rights and justice and to plant the seeds for durable political agreement that leads to reconciliation. You have no high commissioner michelle basher that saudi arabia has announced that the us hip hop star nicki minaj will perform in the kingdom in 2 weeks planned activities highly unusual given the rough essentially productive style but ultra conservative saudi arabia says it wants to shed decades of restrictions on entertainment. Out until 10 has been looking at reactions on the social media well i dont know why is nicki minaj performing in saudi arabia so controversial well i mean you got into that hit the hill in the nail i should say right in the head in your introduction there i mean nicki minaj is known for her profane lyrics and to put it frankly stage shows that show quite a lot of skin focus on really provocative dancing and we can see some of the images of of one of her stage shows right here and that definitely runs counter to a lot of the values that saudi arabia is known for i mean they really do focus on some of the most restrictive views of islam and morals that we can actually really imagine out there in the known for the brutal treatment of women and minority populations and the question along a lot of fans and also supporters of saudi arabia in the saudi royal family is how does nicki minaj really fit within that context im guessing the which is fear pretty much blew up over this yeah it did but it kind of didnt kind of a surprising way i mean a lot of the reaction online from both supporters of nicki minaj and also supporters of the saudi royal family. Was kind of a reaction of consternation and confusion a lot of supporters of saudi arabia were saying that nicki minaj performance are immoral and do not belong in such a restrictive moral system like saudi arabia also that we saw a lot of reactions from women within saudi arabia who were saying like look you tell us that we. To cover up when were out in public you say that we cant actually have a lot of the freedoms that western women enjoy but at the same time youre inviting someone who represents the exact opposite of that to work on ship reform what type of message are you sending to us then there are also in the human our supporters and fans who say look nicki minaj likes to portray herself as a strong business woman shes going to however to a country that does not recognize womens rights than the same way that a lot of western countries do nikki minaj was also portrayed herself as a proponent an ally of the L G B T Q Community and a lot of those fans are saying look in saudi arabia we can face the Death Penalty for living our lifestyle and our sexuality how can you support us and at the same time go and perform there and really the feeling on both sides of the issue are that theres a lot of hypocrisy involved in this decision but since you responded to a lot of the criticisms not directly now that weve seen she hasnt actually i mean this was only announced yesterday so we havent seen an official statement yet but to be honest when it comes to things like this shes not unfamiliar with controversy has courted in the past so its not entirely surprising that shes silent up to this point you know might be good for business what is saudi arabia trying to do with this well you just said the magic word business this is of course a business decision you have to think about you have to realize saudi arabia has been running a budget deficit since 2014 since the oil price kind of tanked and. In the last year theyve been attempting to revamp their Entertainment Industry and they have to realize that the vast amount that a lot of the wealthy saudis they go abroad to seek their entertainment and actually as of this year theyve introduced a 1000000000. 00 reform package and in designed to kind of show their own population that they can stay home spend their money and get the exact type of entertainment abroad but what were seeing here is kind of the friction point when youre trying to support that worldly style of entertainment it doesnt necessarily fit with that kind of more restrictive moral code that saudi arabia is known for. Until some thank you thank you. Techno and the battle to save it and balance well about it well i came down nearly 30 years ago parts of the city center opened up to techno fans who created some of anatomic dance music major hotspots but not with Property Developers i and lots of people are what it the culture is under threat. But. Its a saturday night at christmas one of the most popular techno cons in berlin and were the 1st t. V. Crew thats ever been allowed to film here normally even taking photos is strictly subordinate and even before we go in we can feel the intense 5 coming off the dance floor and this is how its gone its almost like an addiction for you just do it you always look forward and never back. David cura started working in clubs at 17 for 8 years hes been the manager of grease miller a one time noodle factory. Like most clubs in berlin it started off small and now the man who hosts 150. 00 parties a year employs 70 people and brings in more than 2000000. 00 euros annually. The waterfront location and garden are particularly popular in summer parties that last all weekend. Parties alone dont bring in enough cash for the business has to host flea markets im sure movies as well to stay alive. American d. J. D. E. V. s one has been part of the berlin techno scene for about a decade. But he isnt sure how much longer itll last we meet him at space hall his favorite record shop where he comes to look for the latest sounds. D. V. S. One is a champion of real underground techno some have called him techno as global conscience and theres a reason why berlin is his 2nd home. Of the culture is so. Relevant here you know the amount of Record Stores that are here the amount of other artists that i can be influenced by and communicate with and even in passing can gain inspiration from it you dont have that and really anywhere else in the world. But d. E. V. s one says tourists are watering down the unique character of berlins parties meanwhile Real Estate Investors are forcing clubs out of town the freedom space and creativity of berlins techno scene are under threat. At some point its going to the bubble is going to burst and ive already heard about some clubs of course facing closures facing problems noise restrictions and will destroy the city at some point. Not far from policemen to on the other side of the canal new illegal techno clubs have popped up the underground is still alive. But when City Government says last year 7 clubs shut down and 16 more are at risk including policemen. David shearer has long been fighting for the Club Survival the owner of the property will only give them leases for half a year in a time. That id like to see politicians put a stop to the whole thing. The investors and gentrification that are pushing us out that are definitely threatening all of us all the clubs that will feel bad. Its uncertain how much time wavers have left to keep dancing in berlin or whether some day the lights will even go out in the capital a free radical techno.
