Its a group crackdown as the battle of the bridges in baghdad continues and indeed you special coverage marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall we look back at the historic football match that took place just after the border reopened fans from east berlin were able to travel to the west for the 1st time in 3 decades. Im wearing gone off to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world well we begin tonight taking sides over the Paris Climate Accord chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart emanuel have issued a joint statement reaffirming their support for the paris climate deal speaking in beijing today president said the. Cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions will be decisive this follows the Trump Administration beginning the formal process to withdraw all the United States from that agreement president she and the kong describing the deal which was signed back in 2015 as now being a reversal. On appeal that equal to the ship 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. When china the European Union and russia 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. The course of the world have scientists around the globe so worried that theyve issued a joint call to action on Climate Change they describe it as a Climate Emergency to many of us they say are lit are living too well and without taking note of what its doing to the planet they warn that we risk untold suffering if things do not change. To mitigate an impending Climate Emergency say the 11000. 00 Scientists Research in 6 areas this critical 1st and foremost how we get our energy theyve recommended higher taxes for Carbon Emissions dramatically curtailing the use of fossil fuels and massively extending Renewable Energy sources. Then theres the problem of short lived pollutants like soot and hydrofluoric carbons reducing them could lower the short term warming trend by 50 percent they say. When it comes to nature they want to see forests reefs and grasslands restored as well as a halt to habitats and biodiversity loss. In our food supply animal products are a major problem not only do livestock contribute directly to emissions but growing food for them also takes valuable land they could be used for crops to feed the growing population. The scientists also take issue with Economic Growth the pursuit of affluence and wealth they say is a major factor driving Climate Change finally they also bring up the controversial issue of human population growth which is currently exploding at a rate of 80000000. 00 people a year the Scientists Say it needs to be stabilized if possible reduced those are the most urgent steps that need taking says the statement but far from the only ones. Over more im joined tonight by latif from the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in the german city of kiel has written multiple books hes an authority on Climate Change its good to have you on the program theres a lot in 1000 scientists are are warning us that we will suffer if we dont change and theyre saying that we have to change the way we think about growth when it comes to population when it could come through our economies how realistic do you think it is can that period on change take place. Yes absolutely and this is not really a new message we know for several decades that if we continue on that posse he could use mol mol Greenhouse Gases and emit them into the atmosphere that the planet with warm level. Which marine and to rescue ecosystems us he was in the endangered as one example its weapons would be possible that all coral reefs auto reefs died by 2030 if we dont caught c o 2 emissions come to that emissions immediately was was if you know you and other climate scientists you know youve been saying this for many years and i remember the 1st time i talked with he was 10 years ago youve done your work would you say that its now time for political leaders and for citizens to take the next step if we really want to stop or mitigate Climate Change. Yes absolutely because we are on the wrong cost instead of cutting c o 2. 00 emissions the c o 2 emissions us rising and. This is exactly the opposite of what the i was a green men actually says the paras agreement says that we want to limit warming. And to decrease as use relative to preindustrial times ok but the up is you following it business as usual pots basically know all of the scientific knowledge and yet doing this now for decades for a proximity 40 years and i think its important. That the public know that there is a very great consensus among the scientists worldwide. Global warming. Unlimited Global Warming is a major sweat tool. The bias in general a study published this week finds that even if we manage to cut Carbon Emissions to 0 by the year 2030 sea levels will continue to rise for at least a century you know were hearing the data and the science is being revised constantly and its usually revised you know and it looks worse than it did before do we really do you think we really know just how badly the situation is can we be aware of how bad it is. Well i think the climate problem is its too abstract. For most people realize what Global Warming really means and therefore it is so important that me and hounds i wont raise all communication i think we need to find new ways of Climate Communication to translate the scientific knowledge into something which a large share of the population can understand because. If there is no pressure from the Civil Society i dont think that should be Political Action taking ok mr with the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in kyoto germany mr good to see you again we appreciate your time tonight thank you were changing weather patterns have already Southern Africa into severe drought tens of millions of people are facing Food Shortages and while it is in grave danger. I want stick animal reduced to this. This and if it was trying to get to an area known as the man of pools of water the whole of the wildlife here in northern zimbabwe instead it got stuck in the drying mount and later died of exhaustion. Severe drought to tend the clay soil into a death trap. Park officer munir rats is already says he prays every morning for rain but it simply doesnt come since the water level is more than most bands in this who do. Cruises. So it will be always with that is filled pool if you would prefer to see the history in the movie and these mood of the city. Water sources are all but dried up here and animals cant find enough food either park Authorities Say theyve been forced to abandon their usual policy of nonintervention we come up with if we do strategic know we are similar to supplement their feeding off and was due to flood plain because if ward which used to be. Because of rain in the city when dating is coming so losing for animals who are saying we need to sort of meant in population says the plight of these animals is having a knock on effect on nearby villages earlier this year zimbabwes government declared a National Disaster after the drought damaged harvests now hungry wild animals have been attacking livestock and crops in areas where food was already in dangerously short supply officials here say Climate Change is hitting zimbabwe hard its altered weather patterns right now theres little sign of rest by it. Well heres some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world greek police have found 41 alive inside the back of a refrigerated truck in the north of the country theyve arrested the driver on suspicion of smuggling this comes 2 weeks after 39. 00 migrants were found dead in a similar truck outside of london demonstrators in beirut have gathered outside key public buildings to rally against political corruption and cronyism in lebannon it comes as politicians haggle over the makeup of a new government a wave of protests forced the Prime Minister to resign last week.

There was a lot of parts there reporting from london youre watching t w news still to come a place for idle chads or a powerful forum for social change chileans return to traditional ways of discussing politics but is that really better than marching and protesting in the streets west in just a moment. But now to the middle east protesters in iraq are accusing the Security Forces of firing live rounds of at people who were blocking a bridge in the countrys capital demonstrations against the government started early last month and since then were the 260. 00 people have been killed thousands have been injured the military has called on people to stop blocking roads ports and Oil Refineries saying it is costing the country billions of dollars. Gunfire ricochets around the streets of central bank dat. Demonstrates is trying to take shelter as bullets rained down fired witnesses say by iraqi Security Forces. Since tuesday antigovernment protest is have been blocking a major bridge in the capital. Police want them gone oh i think here let the United Nations see they use knife police we human beings protesting into minding our rights oh you know those who fail got severely beaten look at what they did to my leg and my hand they started shooting live ammunition at us. Pretense of also broken out in on the parts of iraq in pants right in the south of the country Security Forces broke up an Anti Government city in demonstration. More than 250. 00 iraqis have lost their lives since the unrest began at the beginning of up to. The violence is being condemned by the international community. The secretary general says he is shocked by the death toll we have seen in recent days in iraq since the start of the demonstration 2. 9 this side prepared to back down chaos has returned to the streets of iraq. And my colleague peter dollars here now hes been monitoring the developments in iraq these are very graphic images that are circulating online now and it documents the violence that were seeing against the protesters as absolute right so ive been seeing a lot of the videos that theyre watching a lot of the videos thats been circulating out there and theyre simply too graphic to show here to give you an idea though one for instance shows smoke billowing out of a protester said after. The tear gas canister launched in this go. Rights Watchdog Amnesty International has been looking into this trying to verify the claims theyve been talking to witnesses and medics are treating the wounded and based on that embassy now says that it has strong evidence that iraq is Security Forces are using tear gas canisters basically as live rounds with him to kill or severely injured protesters you know rather than this person them and so were talking about military great cancers that are about 10 times as have you stand at once but theyre being fired at the same speed so thats 10 times impassioned and you know the cat scan that we just just saw there just the clearly shows the damage that it can do it easily pierced through peoples goals and just yesterday so on tuesday the u. N. Issued a similar scathing indictment of the Iraqi Government they said that Security Forces have killed at least 97 people injured thousands in just the past 2 weeks at least 16 of those deaths in the. According to u. N. More direct result of tear gas canisters doctors in iraq say that the real numbers are much higher but theyve been forced to not talk about it but its hard to get the information out right because the authorities now in iraq are trying to limit Internet Access so we really dont know whats going on do we know thats right and i mean this started out as a social media and as weve seen in many other countries where theres been a risings government blocking access to you know the major platforms like facebook and twitter i spoke before the show to a group called the tracks internet restrictions were why i call net loss and they confirm that the Iraqi Government is now going one step further essentially shutting down the internet in much of the country thats been going on for about 2 days now. This could or you know maybe even should be a cost for real concern is where you seen plenty of places currently in hong kong and lebanon and chile Internet Access is one of the most important weapons that protesters have these days allows them to mobilize to organize and more than that it allows them to broadcast potential violations that are committed so by cutting that core to the outside world the Iraqi Government is essentially trying to shut down the movement shut down rumors are not shut down the internet you shut down movement thats exactly right peter though as always thank you well there are signs of deescalation in chile after 2 weeks of huge demonstrations Authorities Say the number of people taking to the streets has forward at least 18 people have been killed thousands injured since protests began sparked by increases in the price for metroid tickets the mayor of santiago reporting that on tuesday only several 1000 protesters were counted. But. Theres reports from the chilean capital people are using other ways to express their anger. Its another day of protests in santiago de chile but any ball isnt going he lives only a stones throw away from plus 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. One we called the 1st meeting we were a rather small group. And we didnt think anyone would come. And imo we were a bit pessimistic about it. But the turnout exceeded all expectations. So we sat down to analyze what had happened. And what we hoped the chile of the 21st century should look like. 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 united by the wish for change and a profound sadness regarding the countrys status quo. We woke up and we worried warrants we were at war and once again we had the military against us history repeats itself thats heartbreaking for a country like ours so. This type of forum is not a New Invention in latin america the open could build oh 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 out today. Or see if we want a Better Future as much of a cliche as that might be we cant just think about ourselves we cant fall back into individual. We have to take care of each other this is bigger than ourselves can build those are emerging all across chile these days but his grassroots assemblies they all have a common weakness. Were not seeing many results are we focused on the idea of a constituent assembly and educating ourselves which i consider very positive you know going to win also aiming for results and thats often causes problems regarding our functionality several of those are going to go. An opinion shared by sociologist octavio of in the new he has studied the phenomenon and fears the democratic efforts might turn out to be nothing but a cathartic exercise in. The big problem with the capital those is that they generate hope and that they lead people to think they are determining their own destiny. But really their only providing a platform for desires that can be taken into account. Might as well not be and thats a problem because if they build those who are in any way binding they would allow us to solve and overcome the crisis like. But if this can build you 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. The meeting ends late at night with a presentation of the groups coordinated objectives an event is exhausted but please with the outcome. Set up again i meant there is once again an exercise of getting to know the neighbors i had no idea there were so many people interested in this we were able to narrow down our questions and answer them in a critical analytical and respectful manner. Now its our goal to push for a constituent process and the new constitution this is a look at the n. T. Enough. In order to make any of this happen the neighbors will have to get the government to listen how they will go about that will certainly be worth a discussion during the next. Fall this week we are marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall it was a seismic event that meant east berliners were suddenly able to travel to the west and that included thousands of football fans from east berlin they came to see western club berlin in action in november 1989 just days after the border opened.
