Shopping for groceries in caracas crisis stricken venezuela raises the minimum wage for the 6th time in a year but with runaway inflation how much will it cost. And all this week were celebrating the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago soccer teams from cities to space tall for the 1st time in decades last weekend today we look back on the 1st reunion of soccer fans in the west back in 1989. Hello im terry martin welcome to the program chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart the men want to call on our to sign a joint statement on Climate Change in beijing on Climate Change pres. Khan has said that cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions will be decisive this follows the trumpet ministrations move on tuesday to start the formal process of withdrawing the us from the 2015 paris climate agreement. And my call and have sent the paris deal is irreversible. Delicious move over the past 2 years in the fight against Climate Change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment. I regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices. When china the European Union address ratify the Paris Agreement and make a Firm Commitment the isolated choice made by one or another country wont change the course of the world. And that was french president or what i call in there of course well with us here in the studio now is environment reporter tim schoen bag till weve got the french and chinese president s there saying that theyre about to sign a document that document on Climate Change says that the Paris Agreement is irreversible what is that supposed to mean well let me explain a bit china is the largest emitter of Carbon Emissions in the world relying on coal as their primary and engine source so the country so far has agreed to not emit more from 2020 on furthermore it just has the status of a developing country within the Paris Agreement which means that their commitments are not binding so far so coming out now talking about an era of us ability off the Paris Agreement is another step of the e. U. To bind the 2 by china more into the climate targets off the Paris Agreement so basically president french president mccraw is there now in the European Mission not oh ok you know. So did some some deals on the side but in this context is there in a European Mission to pull china into the pairs of human to get more targets more commitments from the government of china so the e. U. Is basically trying to take the lead here in Climate Policy needs and we have to see the agreement in this context so the chinese president also its to say somethin lets listen to it. By the religion in the face of some of the most major changes ever seen over the last century china and france as permanent members of the Security Council and representatives of eastern and western civilizations must assume more responsibilities as 2 powerful nations. Ok the chinese president saying that china and other countries too of course must assume more responsibility in fighting Climate Change but can china and the e. U. Fill the gap in terms of climate mystic Climate Change mitigation that is left by the u. S. Pulling out of the paris deal well thats the big question i mean 1st the withdrawal of the u. S. Put pressure on their dream and on the targets on the governments which are still in so politically it is a loss that the u. S. Isnt in the agreement anymore definitely just remember the Paris Agreement had the target to stop the keep the global temperature below 2 degrees of temperature rise you know 2 degrees by the end of the century compared to industrial level for example explain the dimension a bit china and india back then agreed to to do to make commitments to the Powers Agreement because the u. S. Also took action so now we see that there is in fact a gap but the statement of today between mccrone and teaching ping. Is is showing us that there are people trying to keep this agreement alive to show the to encourage also the community of the United Nations of the Member States the president to to to keep discussing to keep targeting. Climate change measurements just yesterday we heard from 11000 scientists who have endorsed calls for sweeping. Changes in order to avert climate disaster i mean this is really one of the defining issues of our age were seeing a lot of momentum building on this issue now on me exactly i mean these 11000 scientists that claim that most of the countries do not Reach Agreement targets so far and they also demand pushing Renewable Energies in the industrial states and globally basically they they demand for less emissions they demand protect them by the by the biodiversity so is that is it is that realistic that this demand will be implemented soon well this has to be seen on the next Climate Conference in december in madrid what we can say so far for the for example the European Union has taken a lead in this policies by having the target being c o 2 neutral from 2050 on indeed the scientists are also calling for for humanity to back away from pursuing constant growth to tim thank you very much as tim shellback our environment reporter welcome thank you. Its been described as i burning for weeks think a blanket of small has been choking millions of residents of delhi indias capital the air pollution crisis there is increasing pressure on the government to act a Public Health emergency remains in place as delhi residents now say the city is not livable this is what it looks like when there turns to poison. In the a speakers city trout it in the house it is haze. For days 20000000 residents have been gasping through the worst smock in years a tall order in a city already notorious for being one of the worlds most polluted. With pollution levels up to 10 times worse than whats considered healthy hospitals have been filling up fast. And i have some problems breathing as well. To many here it feels like groundhog day. Every fall a blanket or smoke threatens to smother the city a pharmacy nearby regions fern left over crops to prepare for the sowing season. Pollution crisis is putting pressure on the government. Central government. Or the state governments responsibility its a collective its a collective responsibility and they all. Sat. In an attempt to lift the suffocating clouds the City Government last week declared a Public Health emergency. In the day since schools have been ordered closed flights have been diverted due to Poor Visibility and the use of private cars has been restricted. Still for some the problems gotten so bad they no longer see a future for them in the city. And like i did in the a Supreme Court is now stepping in demanding Long Term Solutions from lawmakers they have little time to lose if they want to keep the city from going up in smaug. To the u. S. Now where theres been a Significant Development in the impeachment inquiry against president the Us Ambassador to the European Union has reversed his earlier testimony. Says he didnt know the trial had threatened to withhold aid to ukraine if it didnt investigate its democratic rival joe biden in testimony on tuesday said that by the beginning of september quote in the absence of any credible explanation for the a suspension of aid i presume that the aid suspension had become linked to the proposed Anti Corruption statement. Well earlier we spoke to our washington correspondent public. What this means for the inquiry and for president. What its a blow to president another one this time coming from the u. S. Ambassador to the European UnionGordon Sunderland who now remembers telling an aide to the ukrainian president voted to meet at selenski at a warsaw meeting in september along with the u. S. Vice president mike pence that u. S. Military aid to ukraine would likely not occur until ukraine and an investigation into corruption that was part of this investigation included allegations against the son of the former Vice President and possible democratic president ial nominee for next years 2020 at election here in the u. S. Joe biden. Testified on october 17th to 3 house committees and it lasted around 10 hours you can imagine the level of detail in his deposition now it transpires that the week after his deposition he returned with his lawyers to capitol hill here in washington to review what he had said so as you can imagine their reaction to this news has created quite a stir among democrats in particular and president meanwhile is still claiming that the inquiry is illegitimate and the republicans that are standing behind them the majority are standing behind them have been calling it that this is a very fast moving story and you know its going to be a very busy few weeks in this ongoing impeachment inquiry into president trump. That was our washing correspondent publicly ileus now to some of the other stories making news around the world today republicans have suffered setbacks in state elections in virginia and kentucky democrats took control of both houses of virginias legislature for the 1st time in more than 2 decades and in kentucky the democratic candidate for governor is projected to defeat the republican incumbent by a slim margin. Gunman attacked a security checkpoint in Southern Thailand killing at least 15 local security fall in tears police say they suspect muslim separatists its the worst attack in years in a region where nearly 7000 people have died in an insurgency that erupted 15 years ago. And thousands of people marched through the bolivian capital in the pods to protect the reelection to protest rather the reelection of president evo morales they claimed that elections held on october 20th were supporters of morale has also held their own demonstration. For well invent a swale a hyper inflation is crippling the Economy Health care people more spending power the government is increasing the minimum wage again for the 6th time in a year but the increase is still only equivalent to a few u. S. Dollars per month the wage hikes have done little to help venezuela overcome its economic crisis and some say that actually made things worse in this report we explore what you can buy in venezuela with this new minimum monthly income. Its supposed to give venezuelans more purchasing power the latest hike in the minimum wage means workers will receive 150000. 00 in cash they also get another 150000. 00 in fluid stamps each month sounds like a lot to me but what can you actually buy with it. These 3 bottles of water and 2 bread rolls cost more than a quarter of the monthly wage what the 70. 00. 300000 is not enough to buy anything with when you factor in transportation food bills and Recreational Activities you just dont have enough. I thought i could ask. And thats about a. Good look at that particular beef costs 60000. 00 bodies and a bus ticket now costs 2000 and everything is way too expensive and the minimum wage is not enough. When i come up on top on how. I went shopping in caracas to put the new minimum wage to the test myself i bought some groceries 4170000 believe thats more than the minimum wage for just a few items but i still have most of the food stamps left so i bought some onions. From through russia. And cheese. I bought 18 eggs 440000 body bags and there was just enough left to buy a drink. If im through go i can make these groceries last for me for a month but for a family its not very much and im not including a lot of protein in these groceries nor personal Hygiene Products and for an overall monthly salary its not enough to cover public transport or Public Services like water electricity gas and Telephone Services so for a family its not very much. With the minimum wage and food stamps i was able to buy 18 eggs 3 plantings a key cash in fruit a kilo of onions have a kilo of cheese some coffee milk for flour and sugar. Now to one of the most difficult problems facing europe that is the large number of migrants arriving on our shores escaping war and persecution or in search of a better life and many migrants are finding conditions here no less no easier than those they left behind camps on the greek islands near the Turkish Coast are dangerously overcrowded this report comes from the island of coasts. They had to improvise or face a night sleeping out in the open the. Halls. Refugee arrivals and coast in recent weeks have overwhelmed the system now as many as 6000 Asylum Seekers are on the island most living in inhumane conditions. They had a problem. Seek problem that a problem had life very difficult. The new camp is steadily growing outside the official reception facilities the Island Community has asked athens and the European Union for help. The situation is dire on islands across the aegean sea and is likely to worsen. Volunteer aid workers fear that some migrants wont survive the winter unless things change. A light up of what they many of them have Serious Health problems that we cant deal with here but this is just one doctor for everybody but a lot of the 3 years now no volunteer organization has been able to afford to offer medical help. Only because. The official reception area must provide for nearly 4 times as many people as it was designed for everyone here hopes the Asylum Seekers will quickly be resettled in better conditions on the greek mainland. Youre watching t. W. News still to come will look back at the historic football match after the fall of the berlin wall when fans from the east of the city were able to go to the west for the 1st time in decades. First lets look at stories making news today yemens internationally recognized government has signed a power sharing deal with the Southern Separatist group the Southern Transitional council had been battling for control of the city of aden despite fighting with the government against the countrys with the rebels the deal aims to end months of infighting in the south. Firefighters in Lagos Nigeria have been battling 2 fires a broken out all simultaneously at a popular market on tuesday officials havent yet said if any people were injured in the fire or commented on the cause of the blame its. Now turning away from the earth and looking out into the universe a year ago the team in charge of nasas Voyager Missions announced that data indicated that voyager 2 had reached a milestone scientists have now confirmed the probe has a scale. The suns influence entirely and entered true interstellar space as follows its twin voyager one to become only the 2nd human made object to cross that boundary. The probes both probes were launched back in 1977. Well Derek Williams from w. Science is here to tell us what all this means so their newest from the depths of space about a a structure of the solar system im told break this down for us what does it all mean well i love stories like this because actually brings me back to my own teaching is we even have a visual aid to help sort of understand this a little bit more basically what these 2 probes did was that they prove the existence of whats known as the heliosphere now the helio city or is this giant circular sphere that surrounds the solar system the space you have to understand is permeated by whats called plasma now plasma is charged particles and and gases thinly spread evenly spread throughout space now the sun is emitting huge amounts of electromagnetic radiation and basically what these used probes discovered is that that has an edge that has an edge thats known as the helio pause now you have to understand you see the sphere in the middle of course were moving through space so its got this teal spreading out behind it so it looks sort of like a comet but the interesting place is here in the on the leading edge now thats where both of these probes have now made this jump theyve jumped from the hot less dense plasma thats found within the heliosphere which is mirrored by the sun and theyve moved into that heavier denser 20 times denser plasma thats found which is coming from radiation thats amid other stars so basically this is the real border with interstellar space and its the 1st time that human artifacts made artifacts have crossed that particular border while so what happens next with the voyagers for the voyagers i mean its astonishing that the voyager probes have managed actually to to hold out this long and that the instruments are still sending back communications and data i mean it takes almost 20 hours for that data to reach our. From the position that theyre in now theyve been traveling for 42 years when they do they run on radioactive batteries so those radioactive batteries are going to are going to eventually be drained within the next 5 to 10 years that theyll start sending data at that point and from then on there just be points moving through the galaxy all alone on their own for the next bill for the next 5000000000 years possibly until the actually ends of the earth as swallowed up by the sun but still its an amazing moment actually i find in Space Exploration that weve moved beyond the bounds of our own solar system and it kind of blows the mind but im most impressed by that by the batteries that have been holding up says 977 thats Pretty Amazing to make sure your i phone which is nothing has actually very well humans from do that the size thanks so much.
