Im sorry so much god thats good to have you with us the Climate Activist GroupExtinction Rebellion s kicked off worldwide protests warning of an environmental apocalypse here in berlin the protesters gathered at dawn to block streets in the city center of the next 2 weeks they will lead to civil disobedience actions in 60 cities around the world now protesters will attempt to peacefully paralyze cities they want Greenhouse Gas emissions to be cut to 0 bytes. 2025. Protest actions around the world and we have our correspondents in london bigamous and simon young here in berlin covering these protests for us good to see you both back at lets start with you in london where protests have just kicked off i tell us whats going on there. Well im here with bridges one of the main arteries into Central London and these bridges all across westminster across the political district have been blocked by a protest as ive seen police dismantling structures then protesters have quietly again build them up ive also seen arrests but at the moment at everything here is very peaceful which is aligned with the objectives of the place is this but. All right simon lets come to you here in berlin give us an idea of what the scene is here. Well this is also a very peaceful. Here at the victory colon this is a key traffic roundabout in the center of berlin not far from the Brandenburg Gate there are several 100 protesters here whove all key point the streets normally theyd be full of traffic but today its sort of festival scene with people singing songs and chanting slogans flying kites children playing its really a rather pleasant scene but of course its a determined protest as well as people who did mom doing what they call Climate Justice and they think the German Government and other governments around the world need to take action now. All right very good lets come back to you i think weve got your line back up there in london Extinction Rebellions carried out various civil disobedience protests there what do wonders actually think of this group. I would imagine very makes i speaking to commuters here this morning who were trying to get through cyclists who were just about to squeeze pause the protests and all of them i have to say were extremely supportive of the message of the protest as i spoke to one lady she was a pedestrian and she said well she she does support the general objective to change policy on Climate Change but on the other hand what about people who are already trying to live a green away who are taking the buses and who now call and get maybe to their place of work and i imagine there would also be some people in in cars here you know cannot go over a book block bridge and they probably will be quite critical but most of the people ive spoken to here in Central London thats been really supportive actually and simon you know most of this is really to bring awareness to Climate Change but also to drive action and 2 weeks ago the German Government agreed on a 54000000000. 00 euro climate package but that package we understand is now looking a little bit less ambitious tell us more about that. Thats right see me there are media reports today suggesting that these plans by the German Government which ship many climate protesters here say were already didnt really go far enough these plans seem to have been watered down the German Government now apparently will not be committing to reduce c o 2 emissions by 2042 a specific target nor will it be committing to c o 2 neutrality by 2050 thats something that climate campaigners everywhere have been demanding really theyre only committing to what theyre going to do until 2030 the government says its important to have incremental change that takes the whole population along and that people accept people here and other climate protestors of course are saying it doesnt go far enough it doesnt go far enough only radical action will bring the change thats needed all right our correspond simon young in berlin and bergen for us in london thank you both as weve mentioned protesters there from Extinction Rebellion here in berlin have been disrupting traffic in the center of the city heres a closer look at this group and how they prepared for todays actions in the german capital. Oh this is how environmental activists from Extinction Rebellion are preparing for todays protests and. One of them is 28 year old luke. Shes undergoing training and how to behave when blocking a road and when being removed by the police. Allah says shes willing to be arrested for the cause of violence. This this is the only way to show how serious we are its not sufficient anymore to simply wave flags and demonstrate we need to make clear how bad the situation is and i think it will be highly symbolic if we are willing to be arrested and have our freedom cattails. Extinction rebellion was founded in 2018 and claims to have activists and around 50 countries that protest method is civil disobedience peaceful but sometimes illegal and provocative to illustrate the effects of Climate Change the activists even dyed the river in switzerland green the dye was harmless but the campaign got a lot of attention. Attention is what the demonstrators and belin. The protests will last a week but for many the climate fight is a long term commitment liz who previously worked as a psychologist has decided to live off his savings and dedicate himself full time to the campaign. The good and evil of and then pursuing a career is becoming more and more relevant if you look at the broad context of our work here is very important so i cant imagine doing anything else at this moment and for americans. Others hopes the extinction or 1000000000 will be successful in raising awareness about Climate Change so that governments around the world will begin to listen to have and happy is. All right lets talk more about these protests with polina damn kids shes a climate activist from the Movement Fridays for a future and shes with us here in our studio hi pulling a thank you for joining us we just saw Extinction Rebellion preparing for their protests here in berlin that started today what do you think of the Extinction Rebellion and this this type of protest is it something you support. We support of course you support because were fighting for the same goal for the same like you know well not extinct so we all stand together but the type of protest is obviously not the one front is for future chose but we havent understanding for those who dont feel heard by the politicians anymore what does that understanding mean as you said its a very different type of protest as and i mean weve seen Extinction Rebellion you know one of the cofounders being arrested for trying to fly drones near Heathrow Airport to disrupt flights there blocking traffic i mean is this really the right approach. Well its not for our movement because we have like little children and we want to make it possible for them to speak up too but we think its very important to have different kinds of. That will target groups so that everyone can express themselves in the way they feel is right. Are you worried that this type of protest because we have to say for ideas for future has been completely peaceful and youve been able to amass a really Broad Coalition of support behind you know teachers parents scientists are you worried that this type of protest by extension rebellion might anger people and take away some of that support when you actually need as youre saying solidarity no i dont think so because extinction 1000000000 is their own movement and we are a different movement and people who feel right at fridays for a future with demonstrating and being a peaceful protest they will still stay with us and people who really dont feel hurt especially now where the politicians made climate package even weaker we totally understand they wanna do more or protest even with stronger tactics all right polina them good from fridays for future thank you so much for joining us here in a studio today moving on to some other news now it turkey is set to launch its long planned offensive against kurdish fighters in Northern Syria the u. S. Has reportedly started withdrawing troops from the area clearing the way for the incursion to go ahead and u. S. Troops were stationed close to the border with turkey where they were supporting Kurdish Forces in the fight against the socalled Islamic State turkey sees these kurdish militias as terrorists on sunday kurdish groups in the region held a mass demonstration against the turkish offensive they say they feel abandoned by the u. S. After teaming with kurdish fighters in the battle against the socalled Islamic State. And lets get the latest on the story day that is yulia han is in istanbul for us hi yulia why is this happening now. Well this is basically u. S. President donald trump suddenly making way for turkeys military operation in the north and syria this definitely comes as a surprise and it follows developments late last night a phone call between trump and turkeys president dredge up. To which the white house published a statement saying that turkey will soon move forward with its long planned military operation in north east syria and that u. S. Forces will not support or be involved in it and what were seeing on the ground is that u. S. Troops have started in the morning withdrawing from areas in the north and syria areas that are so far controlled by Syrian Kurdish militia and this is actually you know a major shift a stunning reversal of u. S. Policy in syria because washington had so far significantly supported these Syrian Kurdish militia and considered them the most Effective Group in the fight against the socalled Islamic State while turkey actually considered as them terrorists and that was the the reason for major disagreement between washington and in the past months and now it seems ankara god what it wanted what will happen now uli or are we going to see Turkish Forces move into the area. There are actually many many on oncet questions right now concerning the scale and the time frame of this Turkish Military operation the Turkish Military has reinforced troops it has pulled together and pull over more military equipment so they say they are basically ready and they are just awaiting orders but it also remains to be seen whats coming next from washington because its safe to assume that President Trump doesnt have full support on this from the administration from some very high ranking and important people within the pentagon its safe to assume that this is basically President Trump coming up with a decision that needs further talking in washington so its going to be interesting what well hear next from washington and youll hear just quickly here the kurds say they feel like theyre being abandoned tell us more about their reaction. Well they have condemned the u. S. Has moved there saying that and i quote them here it will have a great negative impact on the fight against the socalled Islamic State they are not the only ones a very concerned the u. N. The u. N. Secretary and coordinator in syria has also warned parties of causing a major displacement off civilians in the area he said we dont know whats going to happen next but we are prepared for the worst so many concerns here many open questions all right our correspondent reporting for us from istanbul thank you.

Iraqi Officials Say at least 15 people have been killed in antigovernment protests in baghdad overnight it brings the death toll to more than 100 since violence erupted last week iraqs Prime Minister has announced reforms that are hope to quiet the unrest but tensions remain high. Country in crisis. The Prime Ministers efforts to quell the violence had little effect as the death toll rose on sunday. Demands for jobs Better Services and an end to corruption have been met with force demonstrators accuse Security Units of firing on crowds and deploying snipers.

For the nobel prize for medicine has just been announced it has been jointly awarded to 3 scientists william kalen and greg cements of the u. S. And peter reckless from the u. K. Now theyve been chosen because of their pioneering discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability this is the 1st prize announced by the Nobel Committee this year. Lets get more on this story now we have Derek Williams from give you science but this hi derek tell us who these 3 scientists are and why they won with these 3 researchers back in the 1990 s. Looked into the genetic reasons for for how cells react to the availability of oxygen now every organism on earth needs oxygen we need them for fundamental metabolic processes and actually an earlier recipient of this prize back in the 1930 s. Won the prize for describing the process of how of how that works how souters turned with the help of oxygen into energy but the question of availability and how the cells within the body react to availability of of oxygen that was something that was happening at a genetic level that nobody really quite understood and so this work is really about that fundamental process how does the cell know theres not enough oxygen there or i have enough oxygen in order to do a whole wide range of things including things for example an exercise to provide enough oxygen to the muscles at the right time in order to get the energy to the muscle ok so very important work was it expected that they would win. Well its it was surprising i read the websites like everyone who works in this in this particular area i read the websites in the predictions and and they were in the top 3 but that said its no surprise that it is a surprise because theres so much fantastic work thats out there thats actually worthy of a nobel prize and and really you can break down the nobel prizes into sort of 2 categories one is something thats delivered is research thats delivered a tool for example and antibiotics or something in that direction or the fundamental basic research that tells us how things work and so much of science is about learning how things work and thats what these researchers did they taught us more about how this particular process works which is so fundamental to so many metabolic processes so what does this research actually deliver then to us and how can it be used well theres a theres a whole. List i made a list metabolism exercise Embryonic Development immune response wound healing infection heart attacks the list goes on and on as i said oxygen and its availability affects everything really and when it comes to life and so it diseases like anemia but also cancer for example in the Drugs Industry cancer cells cause through using some of these fundamental processes they the tumor can call cause the body to create blood vessels to feed the tumor and by certain Drug Companies of have focused on those mechanisms if you can block that that development then you can possibly stop strangle the tumor or at least contain it and so they would have been able to do that without understanding these fundamental kinetic things that are going on when it comes to oxygen the bill ability and thats what these researchers did all right Derek Williams from the w. Science thank you so much for joining us here in our studio. All right lets move on to sports now and the world athletics championships and qatar have come to a close it is a bi annual event featuring the top athletes of track and field the u. S.

By this time it was the sun player from the left finding Patrick Hammond for the finish and in the 13th minute the same combination made it 3 to. 5 rinse and repeat. That bunker on fire hausberg was shot but if their coach Martin Schmidt thought it couldnt get any worse what he saw next will of left him dumbfounded. By glad i didnt need a boost but i was perky perched on the scope but put on one anyway. Im sure nearly half the time in the home team were galloping to victory. Hausberg did finally have reason to cheer in the 81st minute. Florian needle a show pounced on a loose ball to give the visitors a consolation goal but brill and below them scored a 5th goal for glass but to roundoff and me perfect for the hugs 51 the final score a game that left out the drenched and defeated and mention got back sitting pretty at the top of the table. Well vosburgh were not among many experts tips for the top teams in the bonus they get this season but they are now 2nd in the table and the only club that havent lost yet when younger lennon or their latest victims. Most of the fans of pinching themselves up to their room stuck to the season under a new coach others like glass now. But a defensively minded in your own berlin made this home game tough in the 1st half of my job victor had the best chance for the hosts he maybe should have done with this thought instead. Of the match opened up a little bit more after the break a most rewarded a penalty. Puts a handful in the build up my vote like most meant it was overturned i am on 69 minutes that that that was finally broken with their host this time making a difference for the right reasons the dutchman states the bleak goal in 2009 see only by immunex problem and dusty has stalled more.
