Testers have taken to the streets in the german capital the mostly young crowd is gathered at the citys famous Brandenburg Gate to listen to speeches and live music friday for future strikes are taking place in more than 500 towns and cities across germany. That we have drawn our correspondent only fun hummus and she is in the heart of berlin welcome merely tell us youve been there for several hours now tell us whats happening there what are people saying to you. Exactly ive been here since the start of the protests kicked off as you sat on the main stage with life music and a lot of speeches were given by prominent figures in germany and now the proceeds to slowly mashing through the city its in full swing as you can see behind me its colorful its loud the sun even has come out and i talked to a lot of protests in syria and there are very different faces you can see at this protest ranging from oscar who is 7 years old and its his 1st time in protest and he says he wants to save the amazon rain forest and thats why hes here to is it was 74 years old and told me she stands here in solidarity with her grandchildren so you can see the climate strike in berlin really unites all generations the people im seeing around here mostly young people but the organizers of this protest said everyone to young and old so how many mixed is this demonstration behind you. Its definitely more makes them previous frighted for future climate strikes on friday have been in the past its also a lot bigger 80000 people are here as i said but we see that the call by Many Organizations Different Civil Society actors trade unions even from the private sector and the Protestant Church they fall call their members to come here has actually been fruit a lot of people from all different ages i hear i talk to some people whove taken off their day off work or who have come here and their extended lunch break and are now joining the protest because they feel like these students have really inspired them to be here absolutely didnt seem to think or want to make their voices heard. In the heart of berlin in the midst of these protests thank you very much for that update from there. Mass climate protests is underway in berlin germanys governing parties finalize a deal on a major climate protection package. Aftermath on overnight negotiations chancellor Angela Merkel announced the details of the deal between conservatives and the social democrat parties the package of measures includes a carbon price for energy in line with an e. U. Emission trading scheme it also includes incentives for buying electric cars and measures to help households transition away from using heating oil. That we now turn to our chief Political Correspondent melinda trade whos standing by in front of the chancery welcome melinda as we said could there appears to have been a breakthrough and we heard some of the measures bring us up to date on these latest developments. This is a package that comprises 70 different measures in the sectors of transport and traffic and of buildings and construction and the total value 54000000000 euros over the coming 8 to 10 years and and essentially the absolute headlines here are the ones you mentioned germany will be introducing a carbon price via an emissions trading scheme based on certificates for c o 2 emissions certificates that will be purchased by companies that are doing the emitting that will lead to an initial price rise in gasoline and diesel of 2. 00 to 0. 03 euro cents per liter but that will rise over time to around 0. 10 a liter by the end of the 2020s furthermore there will also be individual incentive measures for electric vehicles there will be increased investment in rail there will be increased value added taxes on flying making the price of of flights more expensive and there will also be road charges for trucks all of these said the chancellor she she emphasized this is not to be seen as 70 different single measures this absolutely is a package and the sum total of these measures will be Behavioral Changes away from fossil fuels and toward more use of renewables just one further example and and this is a more unusual one an absolute ban on oil burning furnace is starting in 2026 so a program that as she admitted will start low and gradual but build up over time and she says she is convinced that this package will allow germany to meet its climate goal of a 55 percent reduction in c o 2 by 2030 or so minutes or why would these talks so difficult banking is not cant talk went through the night and lasted some 18 hours. Indeed they did and that was commented on by pretty much every political leader who took part in the press conference there were 2 sticking points one was how to introduce a carbon price whether it should be a carbon tax or whether in fact as has now been agreed it would be this gradual system of emissions based trading that would then ultimately be able to be folded into the e. U. Emissions trading system they went for the latter but apparently it was very contentious 2nd point was how to boost renewables and especially when theres a lot of discussion about that in this country and apparently that was also a source of very very tough discussion im going into if these measures are implemented what do they mean for the people of germany how will this impact the everyday lives prices of fossil fuels are going up theres no question about that but every Single Person who spoke today and most particularly the chancellor was very careful to emphasize that we must take people with us on this journey and therefore we will be compensating all of the effects for those who are hit hardest that means for commuters there will be a new essentially tax support for all of those who wind up paying more for for a fuel they will see their electricity prices drop there will be incentives for electric vehicles so a large number of mission measures designed to make sure that the impact on the individual citizen will be modified because people here are very aware that its not only about fighting Climate Change its also about Climate Justice making sure that the burden is distributed fairly mundane political commentator thank you very much for that. On this day of action for the planet australia hosted some of the 1st rallies of the day with similar protests unfolding across the world lets see how the day developed. The Largest Global climate protest the world has ever seen thats what organizers have been calling todays wave of strikes for the planet. And. Student demonstrators have been turning out and then millions some of the 1st rallies kicked off in australia. Big worries run the front lines of Climate Change you know its already happening its not waiting for it to happen or you know a matter of time it was already well i say in school im learning about the effects of Climate Change and im learning that we need to do something yes im seeing that the people in charge and the people who are running our country on doing anything. This is the 1st time adults have joined the climate strikes on such a significant scale like here in hong kong parents have also been taking part. I think this is such a peaceful protest that its only fair to show them that were all part of this and that its ok that they fight for their future to have. In thailand hundreds of young protesters storms the Environment Ministry before dropping to the ground to play dead saying that will be the future if governments dont talk now. With africa among those continents most vulnerable to Global Warming Climate Change protests in kenya have and especially significant sense of urgency. Climate change is real and it. Doesnt matter. Whether youre rich or. Isolate. My. Children in india have also been heating tea activists gratitude and books rallying cry to take to the streets to fend off environmental disaster. This is a fight this is going to impact every day for the rest of my life this is a fight im fighting said the world i inherited will not be boiling over with docs instant stuff you know my life i think of what a world which in which i will be able to believe anything they like millions of children around the world hope that the adults in power hear their cause and take action to save the planet for future generations. So those were some voices from climate protests around the world including some from india did obvious on a follicle attended a demonstration in the capital delhi and sent us this. Guy in the Asian Capital a group of people including students will skip classes are out on the streets demanding action on Climate Change the demonstrating in front of the ministry of open affairs and housing and thats because this protest was intended to draw attention to indias rapidly growing cities which are reeling from extreme air pollution and heatwaves studies show that human induced climate activity play the big role here the students here are demanding the policymakers take steps to cut Carbon Emissions to move away from fossil fuels and place climate issues at the center of city planning policies to tackle what they say is a climate emergency. And that was from the indian captain delhi and not the british capital london where another major climate strike is underway our correspondent bigot moss was at the protests and sent us this report. 3. Primaries schoolchildren lots of music its very vibrant its very colorful lots of funny had big signs you know like Climate Change as well as that hope but its really a big turnout i have to say this place here which is just a front of the British Parliament has of late been filled with threats of protestors but today it was a different scene much more positive message i would say bouts nonetheless very agile and the children have a real need to make the voices heard. And because it seems british politicians have also been attending these protests what theyve been saying. I think that a march here and Central London is mostly really organized by by the children and self organize there are politicians that have come out in support mostly opposition politicians british policies on on Climate Change not that if you look at if you compared to the rest of the world series of may has committed the country to be called a neutral by 2050 however there are huge questions that im very mental protesters are asking for example about expanding the heater attitude also about fracking and i think that Climate Change altogether is not as much on the public mind at the moment because brags that it is so much dominating out the Public Discourse so i think its a frustration also of many who are here to say there is another emergency that you should really focus on and thats not gregs it and we can really feel big get the energy and the kind of commitment of young people behind you bring good luck in london thank you very much for your reporting from there. Now the momentum for these protests was created by this teenager. Bogen as you know shes the initiator off the fridays for a few just strikes today shes spearheading a rally in new york she traveled to the United States a few weeks ago to be there in time for next weeks u. S. To take action it all started about a year ago every friday expected to impact protested in front of the Swedish Parliament and in so doing spark the fridays for future Movement Just a few months later the schoolgirl mobilized millions of people for the climate suddenly young people all over the world took to the streets like here in india. And mexico. Or in australia. Or in europe. After her arrival in new york at the end of august 2 and back made it clear at a meeting with Un General Assembly president Mary Espinosa the she hoped the upcoming climate gathering would lead to concrete action you are coming soon to be some kind of break. In. Where people start to realize what actually goes on and. So we have high expectations. And my mistakes to. Now turn back is counting on the support of her fellow campaigners all over the world and well continue to find that were both here. As youve seen even checking in with our correspondents reporting from climate protests all over the was lets now take you to paris the french capital im joined by our correspondent is that the ideas that are you in the midst of a demonstration how big have the demonstrations been in paris. To follow a few 1000 people in the streets of paris to die today but then suggest that theyre about 150 get the. Rings across the whole of france today and the hands and the people here who have been talking to our students their pupils by those the older people pensioners weve been telling every be proud to see all these people coming out fighting for their future and we now need to stand together here with the french president monied mccraw sees itself as a bit of a climate champion he met to the tune bed earlier this year do the people of france see him as a green president. The one who depends a bit on who you talk to one things for sure oh frank environmentalists will say they dont agree crohns hasnt reached its goal of bringing down c o 2 emissions and increasing Energy Efficiency this year they are saying though the french president is not doing enough to be used when you will and theyre trying to bring down the road transport thats probably very polluting however some people here the demo today especially some young people have been saying you know we want the government to do more but we dont think about cars any different from any other government any president he had before and that maybe he has now understood that he needs to do something because theres the wave rolling through france and people seem to agree that more needs to be done to protect the environment and they think that the president by now change clothes and do forward to protect the environment just for the sake of his code image really and lisa received a lot of young people behind you but it seems the workers have also joined these protests what kind of impact have they had. A little impact so far because theres been a few wackos turning out here today it hasnt been the massive demonstration one of the massive demonstrations you might know from france you know in the past that if you remember at some demonstration against the demonstrations against certain los there there were millions of people turning out thats not the case. Today and yet some people are hoping here that this might be the beginning that in the future more brackets will join them and that they will then fight together for more policies better policies to protect the climate this might actually kick in and new whole new approaches with more workers joining the strikers right reason louis in paris the french capital thank you very much for that. Now young people in south africa have also he did get a tune back school to go on strike a demonstration is underway in johannesburg where protesters marched on the countrys Constitution Court to demand action on Climate Change. And yet another friday is a future marches underway in cape town we can go over to our correspondent in capetown crease and it seems a lot of Climate Change of protests are underway in the country tell us about whats happening where you are but you can see in the background its not so many people anymore most people are going back home at the moment but before we had hundreds of people coming here marching to the Parliament House south africa trying to address the politicians and trying to tell them how argent their needs is to take action on the Global Climate crisis how they call it and as he has mentioned earlier cape town was not the only place in south africa where these protests happens today also in jerks and to durban we have seen similar events taking place but i did hear turn to 1st 1st time the impact of Climate Change it had a huge drought how do you experience that. Right i mean last Year Cape Town was almost the 1st big city on earth to run dry because of this massive draws back then water was rationed only 50 liters per person per day it was the big topic everybody talked about it and although the situation has improved by now the dams reach a level of about 80 percent water is still a topic there are still some restrictions on going you cant just fill a Swimming Pool as water here thats still forbidden and the town tennessee and cape town are saying this water scarcity will remain in the future so the situation can turn seems to have improved but what about the rest of Southern Africa. Im richard weve seen of this year in several countries how problematic the situation is earlier this year in mozambique we saw cycle encounters and you die youre killing hundreds of people then and then maybe you have the president just declared a state of emergency due to a massive drought there and in zimbabwe just came from the pipes also running dry the dams are very low and the other water crisis is boiling up there so Southern Africa is really hit very hard by the effects of the changing climate. In cape town thank you very much for that update from there. Now to a Climate Research mission that will see scientists from all over the voluntarily trapped in ice for a year now the gym an icepick a polar stand with set sail from the norwegian city. Tomorrow bond for the arctic the scientists plan to anchor the ship to shunk off pack ice this bit and allow the water to freeze around them effectively trapping themselves the drifting ice should then guide the ship full of the wall and allow the crew to conduct experiments through the arctic and bring to that heres more on this unprecedented journey. At 1st the Arctic Research ship. Will be able to journey north under its own steam navigating through a thin sheet of arctic ice but soon afterwards the vessel will face much tougher conditions. For it here it will drift through the arctic ocean surrounded by pack ice on its way to the north pole and beyond. The ship boasts an Extensive Network of measuring stations designed to collect data on interactions between ice and the atmosphere. Because the arctic is warming up faster and faster it is considered the epicenter of global Climate Change. The expedition aims to gain better understanding of the arctic influence on global Climate Change the Data Collected by oceanographers could be valuable for the future. During their journey the crew of the pool large will be accompanied by ice breakers from china russia and sweden. And helicopters will deliver the necessary supplies. The extraordinary experiment will last 350. 00 days and travel 2500 kilometers it may be the last of its kind because if Global Warming continues at the present rate then the arctic could already be ice free by the summer of 2030.
