Shopping for groceries in caracas crisis stricken business will raise is the minimum wage for the 6th time in a year but with runaway inflation how much will it. Plus all this week were celebrating the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago soccer teams from the cities to higher ups faced off last week and today we look back on the 1st 3 uniontown soccer fans in the west back in 1990. Well im terry margin good to have you with us chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart a man well mckown have issued a joint statement reaffirming their strong support for the Paris Climate Accord in beijing president mccall said the cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions would be. Decisive as follows the trumpet ministrations move to start the formal process of withdrawing the us from the 2015 accord though she and michael have said the accord is irreversible. And let the other 2 quickly delicious milk over the past 2 years in the fight against Climate Change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment that it will i regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices on issues when china the European Union and russia ratify the Paris Agreement and make a Firm Commitment that the isolated choice made by one or another country wont change the course of the world. Well to talk this through now im joined here in the studio by our environment reporter Tim Schoenberg could see tim well the french president and the chinese president theyve both reaffirmed their commitment to the Paris Climate Accord they say its irreversible now what does that mean well let me explain a bit china is the largest largest whats not just a matter of c o 2 emissions relying on coal as their prime Energy Source theyve just agreed so far on not emitting more c o 2 from 2030 on so furthermore china is not a full member of the Paris Agreement which means their commitments not completely as binding as the industrialized countries commitments are. So what we see here this is a common agreement on. Speaking up for the Paris Agreement is a step for from the you to bind china more into the Paris Agreement to to make them to to make them step up for more climate targets so basically what is here on a European Mission when it comes to to this to this agreement so the you tried for for a long time to yeah to to improve chinese targets and on climate so we have to see this and in this kind of context but the chinese president also said something so lets give it a listen. I mean really been 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 im. Ok china assuming more responsibility in combat in Climate Change is kind of a big deal the use also onboard of course but can china and the e. U. Fill the gap thats left by the u. S. Pulling out of the paris climate well that is the big question that theoretically as i said china is the largest emitter of emissions over the in the world potentially they could but in fact the withdrawal of the of the us from this agreement puts a lot of pressure on the agreement and on the International Community being member of this agreement so just the fact for example china and india just made commitments to the Paris Agreement because the u. S. Also were taken action and large pots so they you see that now we see that there is a gap and but they remain today nevertheless is is a signal its encouraging its its as i said its encouraging but we also have to be clear as the as china just has the status of a developing country its not gonna fill the gap the financial gap that the u. S. Is leaving behind with its withdrawal and of course the big question is are the measures that have been agreed to going to be enough to to stop the earth from warming up too much i just yesterday we heard from 11000 scientists who are calling for sweeping changes theyve endorsed calls that have already been put out there and theyre saying more must be done to avoid a climate disaster theres real meant to building on this issue. I mean definitely in the recent months weve seen freida future on the streets the extension rebellion civil civil groups forming going on the streets protesting we see at least in europe arise of green party is on the polls we see the e. U. The Commission President elect fun the line calling or wanting more just wanting to do more for the climate in the you announcing that in her 1st speech so i think there is definitely a momentum and we see in the recent is environment politics has become part of the big stage and politics very much entering the political mainstream also here in germany a partys conservative party is now also recognizing the need to go in that direction to back from our environmental desk thank you so much for being with us thank you.

Police in thailand suspect muslim separatists were behind an attack that killed 15 volunteer Security Officers at a checkpoint in the south of the country 5 others were wounded in the assault late on tuesday Evening Police say some of the attackers may also have been hurt in an exchange of gunfire. It was the worst attack in the region in years the insurgency in thailands 3 southernmost provinces has killed about 7000 people since 2000. Lets bring in our correspondent florian know shes in the thai capital bangkok good to see you florian what more do you know about this attack. Well we heard that its at least 10 assailants who approached this security posed in the province of yala in the deep south of thailand on foot they killed as you said they. Killed 15 people among those casualties was one Police Officer and the rest of the casualties apparently were volunteers security volunteers so basically ordinary people from the surrounding villages now these attacks house been going on as you said for the last 15 years this is the single worst incident in a long time with so many casualties. So apart from that we heard that the Main Objective of this attack was apparently to obtain weapons so the assailants left with a number of the weapons and 16 rifles and shotguns so and on their on their way out of this this little town they scattered nails so to disable vehicles that might pursue them and any other vehicles entering the the province so this was. This was an attack that was well planned apparently. For him give us some context here whats driving the separatist insurgency in thailands southern provinces that is now apparently turning even more violent. Well i mean the deep south as as it is called here it comprises the 3 most southern provinces in thailand those provinces predominantly ethnic malayan muslims thailand as you know is predominantly a buddhist country so these 3 provinces have been striving some rebel groups actually striving for independence some are striving for more autonomy but this conflict has been pretty much under the radar for a lot of people thailand is not really addressing this the Thai Government is trying to keep it under wraps also not to endanger any tourism as you know thailand thailand is a big Tourist Destination but these attacks have been confined to these 3 southernmost provinces so its not a problem of thailand as a whole just quickly florin does this attack suggest that there could be a serious escalation of the conflict coming. Well this actually was a serious escalation of a conflict which in recent years has actually. Become more quiet we have seen fewer casualties so this is already an escalation in august apparently there were some secret talks between the Thai Government or Thai Government officials and some of the rebel groups but apparently their key demand of this rebel group. The release of prisoners was and met by the thai authorities so those talks collapsed before they even started so we dont really know what the future brings but this already is an escalation. Of course florian thank you so much florian nourished there in the thai capital bangkok. Now to chile where Authorities Say the number of people taking part in the street protests there that have gone on for more than 2 weeks now is falling at least 18 people have died and thousands have been injured since the unrest began over a hike in public transport fares but by tuesday only a couple of 1000 people were still demonstrating according to the mayor of the capital santiago while some people abandon the street protests to take a more intellectual approach to changing the nations political and Economic System nicole fairly reports from the countrys capital santiago its another day of protests in santiago but any ball isnt going he lives only a stones throw away from the epicenter of the countrys mass demonstrations but a couple of weeks ago he kicked off a different kind of mobilization a neighborhood gathering known as. We didnt think anyone would come and we were a bit pessimistic. But the turnout exceeded all or expectations. Were so we sat down to analyze what had happened and what we hope the chile of the 21st century who would look like. But. The meeting soon grew too big for the park so today the neighbors are meeting at a local hostel some 80 people from all walks of life because. This type of forum is not a New Invention in latin america the open could build the dates back to colonial times as a communal gathering in response to emergencies or disasters and standing together in the face of adversity is still very much the essence of the could build are today. If we want a Better Future as much of a cliche as that might be we can just think about ourselves we cant fall back into individual. We have to take care of each other this is bigger than ourselves for camille those are emerging all across t. L. A. These days but as grassroots assemblies they all have a common weakness in. The big problem with the company is that they generate hope and that they lead people to think if they are determining their own destiny. But really theyre only providing a platform for desires that can be taken into account but might as well not be and thats a problem. But at this could build you know in santiago nobody wants to believe that theyre just dreaming up their own version of utopia broken up in small task forces they draft a road map for their future work in order to make any of this happen the neighbors will have to get the government to listen how theyll go about that will certainly be worth a discussion during the next. Reporting there well in bed a swale a hyper inflation is crippling the economy to help give people more purchasing power the government has increased the minimum wage for the 6th time since last year but the increase is still only equivalent to a few u. S. Dollars per month do correspond went shopping to see what venezuelans could actually buy with their new minimum wage. 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 fluid stamps each month sounds like a lot to me but what can you actually buy with it i gave these 3 bottles of water and 2 bread rolls cost more than a quarter of the monthly wage of the saudi. 300000 is not enough to buy anything with when you factor in transportation food bills and Recreational Activities you just dont have enough. And thats about to. Look at that particular beef cost 60000. 00 bodies and a bus ticket now costs 2000 everything is way too expensive and the minimum wage is not enough. When as a lot of us have on our. I went shopping in caracas to put the new minimum wage to the test myself i bought some groceries 4170000 believer days 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 3 national. 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 kilo of kashan fruit a kilo of onions half a kilo of cheese some coffee rice milk for flour and sugar. Watching news in other news thousands of people marched through the bolivian capital to protest the reelection of president. They claim that elections held on october 20th were rigged supporters of morales also held their own demonstration. And yemens internationally recognized government has signed a power sharing deal with a 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. And firefighters in Lagos Nigeria have been battling 2 fires that broke out almost simultaneously at a popular market on tuesday officials havent yet said if any people were injured in the fire or commented on the costs of play its. Still to come here on news well 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. Now turning away from 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 that the probe has escaped the suns influence entirely and entered true interstellar space it follows its twin voyager one to become only the 2nd human made object to cross that boundary both probes were launched back in 1977. Well Derrick Williams from your science is here to tell us what all this means so news from the depths of space about a a structure of the solar system im told break this down for us what is know me well i love stories like this because actually it brings me back to my own teaching days 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 helios we are 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 admitting huge amounts of electromagnetic radiation and vaisakhi what these these 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 that emitted by 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 that point and from then on there just be points moving through the galaxy all alone on their own for the next built for the next 5000000000 years possibly until the actually until 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 kind of blows the mind but im most impressed by the by the batteries that have been holding up his 977 thats Pretty Amazing to make sure with your i phone which is an i think a. Very well humans from do that we sized thanks so much.
