A tough job beating Prime Minister bourse trots of the conservatives and next months election we had the campaign trail in northern england. In vietnam the 1st funerals take place for some of the 39. 00 people found it dad in a truck in britain last month. And President Trump signed a law supporting democracy in hong kong. The president signed on the bill was just increased the bargain ships of hong kong. Prodemocracy activists welcomed the move by china denounces it on state television. Im sumi so much god its good to have you with us. The European Parliament has voted to declare a Climate Emergency that the resolution was passed with a clear majority and stross forward lawmakers hope that the move will send a power. Full signal to the u. N. Climate summit which starts in madrid next week theyre also aiming to put pressure on the incoming e. U. Executive to take a leading role in the global fight against Climate Change well lets go to our correspondent in brussels Garrick Mathis is standing by for us hi garrick thanks for joining us how significant is this declaration so we as you have pointed out it is mainly about sending a strong signal that was adopted with a great majority some m. V. P. s have voted against the particularly a conservative and hes particularly because the concern is there is too much symbolism in the words emergency there it belittle fuel expectations that then cannot be met and there was this concern that is an empty promise and there should be more concrete proposals in the declaration but after all this is the declaration we have now a lot of any piece back them and everyone in the European Parliament in strasbourg i would say is aware that concrete action and now has to follow that declaration but the hope is that this puts pressure on the Incoming Commission all right so some are concerned there is too much symbolism some think that it just doesnt go far enough this declaration we spoke to a Green Party Lawmaker felipe lamberts before the vote lets listen to what he had to say the scientists are telling us that we wasted the last decade in terms of Climate Action which means that now the measures that we need to take a much more stringent instead of political will to do that its very nice to have a declaration on the Climate Emergency but if actions hes not following this is just hot air and well we have enough of hot air at the moment. So is this really just hot air. Well there it is it is hot air if nothing comes off it and that way indeed would be would be damage and you know if its if it is an empty promise and its very much now depends on the new head of the European Commission who is a life on the line who has already announced that she wants to take your advice she wants europe to take the lead in fighting Climate Action she wants to make it a priority of her European Commission to fight Climate Change and that is why she has put forward a European Green deal putting some real money some some real concrete proposals on the table in the next weeks and months well have to see what comes of that and how she intends to fight Climate Change bringing down c o 2 emissions from europe right well its very clearly now on the agenda for the European Union will come back to you in just a moment cared but lets take a look now at what is at stake when it comes to Climate Change and how rising sea levels are affecting the planet. Beautiful but endangered greenlands ice sheet is melting at record speed raising sea levels across the world Global Warming could redraw the world map as we know it. To you dr no or when i was a boy there was a lot of ice that could go to court and were 10 months years sometimes you hear them and. But in recent years stare only 4 to 5 months. In october everything used to be locked in ice but now only in december not for many. Scientists are on a mission to predict just how much sea levels will rise globally. If it happens at a rate where were looking at 80 feet of sea level rise. If he or a 100 years its going to have it shipped back for cities all across the planet cities like alexandria in egypt are spending hundreds of millions of euros to hold back the water. In the netherlands billions of euros are being invested on Water Management innovations to keep the country afloat. Rising sea levels are just one aspect of Climate Change with the future of the planet at stake activists across the world are demanding radical action from governments while theres still time. Care coming back to this declaration now how do you think that climate activists are going to react to this the reactions ive received here in russell is that they welcome the symbolism in this they welcome the fact that every piece in the European Parliament have a can all of that action needs to be taken and basically here they they want to use that momentum you know another Climate Change demonstration coming coming up tomorrow here in brussels which is expected to be big again so they hope that this will create a momentum that really forces the political actors in the Member States but also in the european institutions to take some action to look into public transport to look into more Renewable Energies to look into a reform of the aquaculture all sector a lot of ideas have been put on the table now and the hope really is that Something Like an Emergency Declaration will now give this a big boost to get you scared mattis reporting for us there in brussels thank you. Now to some other stories making headlines around the world north korea has test fired 2 short range missiles thats according to south korea and japan observers say the move could be an attempt by pyongyang to pressure the u. S. Over deadlocked Nuclear Talks the north has set an end of year deadline for negotiations to restart. Medical sources say that iraqi forces have shot dead at least 16 protesters in the Southern City of nasiriya as unrest continues to grip the country on wednesday demonstrators set fire to the iranian consulate in the city of najaf outrage over perceived iranian influence has been fueling widespread antigovernment protests. On gary and prosecutors have charged the captain of a cruise liner in connection with a deadly boat collision on the danube in may Ukrainian National was charged with misconduct leading to mass casualties and 35. 00 counts of failing to provide help 27 people died nearly all of them tourists from south korea. Britains Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is heading for a big majority in next months general election thats according to a major poll the use of polling analysis which accurately predicted the 27000. 00 election suggests the pro brags that johnson would win a comfortable 68. 00 seat majority the result would all but guarantee britains departure from the European Union by the end of january the gains would come at the expense of his opponents labor they are on course for the worst result in decades. And lets go right to london our correspondent is standing by for us hi burka so there is one major polls suggesting a big majority for the conservatives does this mean that Boris Johnsons election gamble is paying off or are voters just tired of breaks it. Well to me i think there are several reasons one is that Jeremy Corbyn the leader of the labor party is really extremely unpopular his pastoral writings are really a drug bottom hes also being vilified one has to remember by large sections of the British Press so that could be one reason the other reason though is that Bruce Johnsons message his illusion i have to say of saying lets get brecks it down lets get it out of the way lets move on that that seems to be successful with the british voters there really are so fed up of hearing about it his critics of course point out that rex it wont be done at the end of january but that is just the beginning of the whole trading cozy asians of the whole written new relationship with the European Union and they point out that its really almost offended fantasy to say that the bracks will be out of the way but a lot of british voters seem to think that burrows johnson is the person to to get clear way forward and weve been ive been to the north of england and we talk to voters and politicians this is where the labor party had their traditional strongholds and we wanted to see how labor and how the conservatives are fairing in the north of england so lets have a look at that. The town of Bishop Oakland used to be a train building have today the factory halls and which carriages were once built empty. The Unemployment Rate is above the british average and a key majority of the population voted in favor of leaving the e. U. Bishop oakland was once a bustling market town with a striving night life now there is a sense that towns like these former mining and manufacturing communities in the north of england have been forgotten and people want that to change a large number of shops on the high street have closed down there is money available for redevelopment but many feel it has been put to wrong cues they blame the. Labor party which has been the dominant party in the area for almost 100 years. And have anyone here with labor. Referendum you. Can shift and can ask you you know me and service you know my own concerns because i dont trust them at a party i dont recall bill but i think in general politicians would be the right direction the fishbowl impulse to labor strategy to draw attention to the conservative partys policies that they say are to blame for the citys money. This is not about brakes its only its about the policies of the past weve lost a quarter 1000000000 pounds from our county council through austerity through tory cuts. Davis and this the conservative party candidate. John kerry and the more message labor has not done enough for the area. Must finally be implemented so that other things can be dealt with again. Obviously people are worried about. Commitments like here on the ground its about people day to day and the Biggest Issue we have is on our local health. As an evening event in a pub hardly anyone says they will vote for labor even if they have done so in the past and yes they all want to leave the e. U. And believe that only government will deliver that to the north of if england has always been a liver for the work. Where the conservative party. Richer people the more affluent people and with. Genuinely think the spanish huge shift in peoples attitudes i do strongly believe that conservative party is going to win. The people of almost all agree they voted for greg and now they want their voices heard too long they have no petitions. And sue me it was very striking we really try to find people that are backing labor but it was very very difficult we nobody wanted to say on camera that they going to vote labor and even in private conversations a lot of people really express their dismay of the current state of the labor party and it really goes to show that traditional education says at least in the north of england changing it was also striking very good to hear both conservative and labor voices in your report say that this election isnt just about braggs and what else is it about. Well particularly the labor party is trying to shift attention to Public Services to domestic policies there and now and seeing a really quite dramatic investments in things like a Green New Deal they also try and shift the emphasis on the Health Service and we know from opinion polls that brags and the Health Service are the 2 main subject that voters are interested in at the moment labor party is saying if britain leaves the European Union we can already see that this government under Boris Johnson is in touch with the us and that the us pharma and Us Health Care services will take over and will supply the services and on the cuts our and h. S. A. This is something that they know that very many voters dont want so there is a point of contention here and that will become sharper in the next 2 weeks until the elections im sure. Reporting for us from london thank you. In vietnam the 1st funerals have taken place for some of the 39. 00 people found dead in a truck in britain last month British Police investigating the deaths have arrested several people including the driver of the truck who was pleaded guilty to conspiring to assist illegal immigration the victims bodies were flown to vietnam on wednesday. 2 families paralyzed with grief. Finally though able to lay their loved ones to rest. Cousins when and why the previous day scores of villagers helped as their coffins arrived in rural vietnam in an emotionally charged and grim homecoming. Kept an agonizing wait for the bereaved families who kept vigil for weeks. After a month of waiting the family has been saw sad we couldnt eat we couldnt sleep the younger of the men was just 18 years old he had joined his cousin to embark on a shared dream together. He went to work abroad with the hope that he could earn money for a Better Future for him and help the family but its devastating that hes died its really painful. The pair travelled to britain in search of jobs but their journey ended in tragedy inside this lorry among 39 people to suffocate at the hands of human traffickers. As the procession made its way to their final resting place the focus was not on justice or the nature of the deaths but on a Community Mourning together. The whole village and the people from other neighborhoods came to bid farewell to them. And that might comfort the families a bit. This loss is immense but the compassion would help ease this terrible pain. And these deaths yet carry meaning the priest asked the children to let this be a lesson not to risk their own lives by leaving. U. S. President donald trump has signed a law backing democracy in hong kong the legislation means there will be an annual review of the favorable trade status that washington grants hong kong it also threatened sanctions against chinese officials who commit human rights abuses in the territory Chinas Foreign Ministry has denounced the new law saying it seriously interferes with its internal affairs but its been welcomed as a victory by hong kongs prodemocracy movement. And meanwhile in hong kong prodemocracy demonstrators have been holding a thank you us rally and chan is there she joins us now hi sherri youve been speaking to protesters there what are they saying do they think that this bill from washington really boosts their cause. The protests are really celebrating the signing of this be you yeah as you said actually is the theme of the protests today is what they call i thank you thing to thank to you as for passing to be a boy and protests in Hong Kong International support has always been a very important front for their movement and actually for the past few months they have been campaigning for the u. S. To pass this law some prominent activists even went to the u. S. To campaign for this like joshua wall and the news host they even speak at they even spoke in the congress to the u. S. To support them but actually protests in hong kong they know that they dont only need the support from the u. S. But also support from. Other countries but then they also understand that the open end of the u. S. Has a great influence on what the swiss say is so this is really a fake free for them what we see in an angry response from china bowing retaliation is there any indication of what beijing is planning to do. Right china has reacted to the. He signed the deal and china. Summoned the u. S. Ambassador to the mounting u. S. To stop interfering in chinas in internal affairs and china also accused the us off being the culprits of the instability in hong kong. Actually china has repeatedly said that the us will have consequences if past the view and they also said that they will be caught but then actually in the press conference by the foreign ministry. Said what these content measures will be and this book person actually said that. Was due to come will come if these so is really. What china is going to do about this ok on the ground there of police have entered the Polytechnic University were protesters were holed up and theyre busy collecting evidence just quickly will there be any arrests. Actually at the police has finished in the campus and they were just holding a press conference just. And they said that they have collected a lot of explosive materials off to make a cocktail some petrol bombs but they didnt mention the arrest actually if you call the police and the campus they have promised that they would make an immediate risk even if the economy. Is still inside the campus and they tell us so there is so far no arrests yet all right do you have you correspondent ceri chen for us there in hong kong with the latest thank you. Now ticktock the hugely popular chinese own social Media Network has lifted a ban on a u. S. Teenager who was blocked from the service after she posted a video denouncing chinas treatment of its weaker Muslim Minority and that video went viral ticktock blamed a human moderation error and says the images were restored within less than an hour alex for sporting its been looking into this for us hi alex so tell us what happened here well for us as these 17 shes from new jersey in the United States and her tick tock bio reads just a muslim who wants clout got deleted last time and shes being quite clever because it appears on the face of it that all of the content she puts on makeup tutorials but if you listen to what shes saying shes highly political and this particular video that she put on 1500000 views on top 5000000 views on twitter and it was all about the wig a community in the northwest of china who many believe being persecuted by beijing with even evidence coming out of the past few days that hundreds of thousands have been thrown into effect to the jails that so lets have a watch of what she said in this video. I also want to show you guys how to go long lashes for the 1st thing you need to do is grab your last caller curly lashes obviously then youre going to put them down and use your phone or using right know to search up whats happening in china how theyre getting concentration camps during innocent muslims and theyre separating their families from each other kidnapping them murdering them raping them forcing them to eat pork forcing them to drink forcing them to convert different agents if not were also going to of course get murdered its pretty remarkable that was the lead initially and i understand that shes actually faced other problems with the platform yes thats right and it was particularly a video that she posted using images of a some of been launched and he was the former head of the terrorist group and she said that video was satirical to talk said it breached their guidelines and they deleted her account entirely so she set up a new account a couple of weeks ago shes put new content on including this particular video that as we say went viral and she said that she then lost access to the platform and she found that that post had been deleted ticktock have today apologized they say that it was a human error and that it was only offline for around about 15 minutes or so but izzys says there are still many questions to answer and actually investigative journalists have been looking into to talk they say that there is internal guidelines which say that if there is content that could anyway offend beijing it has to be censored thats been. Denied by ticktock but certainly there is an issue here that certain posts become very very difficult to find online lawmakers as well that are looking into questions of censorship on yes thats right im particularly in the u. S. Because they are worried that posts arent being censored and that theyre off came from ation about that and the u. S. National security u. S. National Security Panel is looking into bite dance they own to talk. And asking them what are they doing with personal data because they have big concerns about that again with links back to beijing so all in all it is getting quite hot for tiktaalik there were a lot of questions that they are now having to answer all right our correspondent alex forrest waiting with us here in studio thank you for bringing us that story.
