Battle this week that should be just a loss of fun diversity we will find sure been well paid for cars and future generations it seems quite clear that were not there yet that we still have time but we dont have time to get around its time to get started. Also coming up while much of europe asia and the us are preparing for the age of super fast five g. Networks there are pockets of germany where people would be happy just to have three g. Whats most important here for these families is per se Asian American show that they can fall with exact think knowles and make a show that these signals are even available in the first place so that they can what more precisely and efficiently. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and around the world welcome we begin the day with the biggest report to ever document how mother nature. There is being murdered by you and me and everyone today the un released a one thousand page report on the human threat to bio diversity now the headline coming from that one million species are facing extinction because of the unsustainable way modern humans live it is a bleak picture painted by one hundred forty five scientists from fifty countries never before have humans been so successful at changing and consuming their environment and exploding global population with an insatiable appetite to consume resources the result today is a global rate of species extinction that is up to one hundred times higher than it has ever been in the last ten million years that the un details five main drivers of species loss lets go through the for you the human use of land in sea thats number one seventy five percent of the earths entire landmass has been altered since the Industrial Revolution began two centuries ago then there is human fishing and hunting animals to death a third of all marine stocks are being fish at levels a rate that will never allow those fish to catch up and replenish and of course theres Climate Change half of all mammals on our planet are now threatened by the increasing temperatures the warming up of earth. And there is the problem of plastics unless dramatic reductions take place plastics will outnumber fish in the worlds oceans by weight by the year twenty fifty and last but not least and perhaps one factor that you may not be aware of the invasion of alien species not alien could be for example in the form of killer bees being transported from africa to south america where they decimate the native b. Species this invasion is happening as a direct result of human activity here is what the lead scientists of the un report said today about what all of this means moving forward. We humans up a turban our planet badly weve already lost two pesetas all animal and plant species and another twenty percent of animal and plant species an insect threatened with extinction and so up to five hundred thousand to a million species are threatened with extinction but there are things we can do to avoid that extinction i hope this rings in alarm bell with governments around the world the private sector around the world and individuals and this is i a coal for action equally we need the coal for action on Climate Change we need to do much more to address the issue of Climate Change we need to transform the way we produce energy we need Clean Energy Renewable energy and we need to use our energy much more efficiently so im hoping that this message is now is the time for action if you know were going to degrade the future for our children and our grandchildren. As a result of whats in there talking about this landmark you win report on bio diversity you want to talk now with patricia so that she is one of the reports lead authors patricia its good to have you on the show youre in paris tonight which makes me think of the paris climate agreement weve heard with that agreement as well as with this report out today that the one thing that has to happen now is that something has to happen what are you telling people when they look at this report that that youve helped author that they need to do right now that they can do to stop this loss of biodiversity. Hello open evening oh next for you to invite me thanks for having me here on your show so yes definitely this report is the most comprehensive that has ever put in to gather all the information more than fifteen thousand sources of information in scientific papers and government papers so the report basically is quite clear in saying that. Yes were crossing a lot of trouble yes by diversity and the systems are declining but yes there is hope and this hawk is basically if we transform the way that we do things you mentioned the five major drivers of these changes but there are cures to heal what the damage has been done so basically these. Are the way of curing things this one first transforming wife into breaking things we need to integrate more across sectors we need to include everyone in the solution each citizen is part of the solution so integrating across stakeholders from citizens to government to policy makers to scientists plan to gather indigenous population this plan together manage and look forward the second part of the matter of the solution is to go through innovation we need innovation to look at new technologies that are sustainable that will provide food that will provide energy that will provide all of our need without having to face that are harmful or too harmful with nature and the third one is the need for information we need money touring that we can provide data and give policymakers the day that they need to make informed decisions then those are all wonderful god lives and were struggling. Implement those guidelines in a world with a population of six billion people we are headed for a population of nine billion people what are we going to do then will we still be able to slow this loss of biodiversity even if nine billion people act responsibly. Well the think is that resource is and the use of these resources is not distributed equally so we find places in which more production is being done that it was actually needed so this is not a solution that is one size fits all this is something that needs to be fit for purpose so in a place where there is too much for duction the production needs to decrease because there when there is much too much for duction them then there is too much waste so youre using space that you shouldnt be using for production and at the same time then whatever you do not consume goes to weight causing more damage so there needs to be a tradeoff between Sustainable Development because we still need to grow and as the pollution grows we will need more food more space but at the moment were using more space and more food than we actually need so thats a trade off in which. Governments need to. Provide then the guidance to their citizens to give education so one of the most important things that can happen is that were not asking or the interest or hes not saying that we need to change our way of life weve actually to change of way of life but Everyone Needs to understand that with education government to interest on that with education they can give choices to people that are more sustainable that the lifetimes that are wearing that right now and what happens as we move towards the mid century and then move towards the end of this century if we are still operating in these paradigms of Economic Growth is necessary for for profitability for example is it very at some point isnt there a limit to all this growth even population growth mean the planet is finite then we have to find a way to also live with humans finding five million points about growth and Economic Development as well. Yes well thats a very good question there arent Tipping Point and Tipping Point is why cant they post i mean when theres no way back at press and there are very few things that you could say are reaching a Tipping Point what on earth problems that is reaching at the Tipping Point is bleaching in coal and coral reefs of coral reefs are one of the more threats a necklace systems and is facing very in a very short term if the temperature continues to increase one point five degrees we will lose another thirty percent of the coral reefs we have already lost fifty the arctic for example is is another case in which if we dont do something now the consequence will be grave because not only will be losing by diversity but the arctic cast a function if we lose all that ice we will have more radiation and more heating so he will have consequences for worldwide so we need to be very careful and do all this transformation from the course of our society it will be different everywhere that basis will be different everywhere but each each one of the each one of us needs to start now by changing the way we do things really. Blows the bitch from the u. N. Science panel for bio diversity because we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight in a very important topic thank you thank you very much. Close the king of growth the world is gearing up to install five g. Networking technology but here in germany some parts of the country are still waiting for Third Generation the patchy reality of Digital Technology tonight we start a series of reports asking germans what they are most concerned about with the European Parliament election just weeks away five g. Network technology is just one aspect of Digital Communication in which germany is playing catch up the numbers tell the story a quarter of germans do not even have access to three g. Network technology that puts the country thirty years in the world you can compare that to south korea and the u. S. Where coverage is almost one hundred percent our correspondent kate brady takes us down on the farm tonight and straight into a Smartphone Network dead zone. For the first leg of my journey im leaving behind by lynn finn the bad essen in the german countryside. Once a wealth lead to an industry an innovation when it comes to digitalize ation gemini is lacking fall behind. Despite impending arrival of five watt technology hearings have made some cuts in the country especially in the countryside people are Still Dreaming of that wax and a reliable Internet Connection lets not forget it wasnt so long ago that the japanese consulate im going to now call his cell was describing the internet as new territory. Agriculture is just one industry feeling the effects of germanys digital shortcomings and i care envelop doesnt when network dead zones are a common occurrence for families like pick. By using g. P. S. Signals this tractor has the capacity to drive itself autonomous and cover the exact same route and the exact same tracks taken on previous days. So this value here shows how good reception is you have to imagine its like when you get l t three g. Youre on your phone the higher these numbers become the worse the reception gets right now as we stand we can work with one centimeter accuracy into the bargain with time. But when the signal fails things go a little off plan and the tractors wheels theyre off course. Which means wasted resources and the expenditure for farmers. Was most important here for these farmers is per se asian and making sure that they can farm with exact signals and making sure that these signals are even available in the first place so that they can work more precisely and efficiently to make sure that they dont waste any use of the land. Farm owner banhart flyhalf on vice is holding the German Government to its pledge of nationwide high Speed Internet by twenty twenty five and five g. Mobile internet you put it it was. Here still politicians mr standish the standards across the Board Network operators who can provide five g. Standards must be obliged to make this Internet Connection available not only in the densely populated high revenue regions but also in the countryside where the turnover is low. Probably the best would be ok story. The German Government has now promised plenty of measures to at least get germany on the way when it comes to digitalize ation but now the question is whether those measures can really be implemented in time to make sure that germany has any. Turns its oh of becoming a digital tech giant. And my colleague. Knew she could drive a truck through hes come down from the farm past you to the studio good to see you kid lets talk about these dead zones just a couple months ago germanys Science Education minister said and im quoting here far g. Is not necessary at every milk here. But it turns out people that youve talked to they see things a lot differently dont they really do and this report here that we just saw is really just a snapshot of life out there and. The owner i have found by she was telling me as well how he just to go and download a normal word document that he sent he has to go into the local town just to go and download that way he knows that as an Internet Connection so when youre trying to run a business of course this has huge implications it makes everything run twice as slowly as it might have already done anyway out in in a rural area but this really is affecting as well not only rural parts of germany but this is something thats a common occurrence here in the german capital as well this really is a nationwide issue you can be in the center of the german capital and suddenly youre in a dead zone and you have no connection yet weve all experienced that thats what you were this was the first part of your series where youre looking at issues that germans or conservative value been traveling around the country what other topics are you going to be talking about so today we focus on digitalisation tomorrow weve got germanys housing crisis coming up well also be looking at demographic change in the sense of germanys ageing population which of course is causing issues in terms of Skilled Labor especially and also the issue of Climate Change and its interesting as well having visited four different locations in japanese well to see exactly how intertwined all of these issues are and so these are certainly. Big issues now but something as well thats going to shape germany in the coming years as well what are the issues that people seem to be most concerned about i think its the idea of germany keeping up with the rest of the world is ready quite interesting there was something that you heard or that i heard sorry along the way was always this comparison with the European Countries especially in from sets like this in the u. K. Its like this in you know in eastern European Countries they have Better Internet as well and this comparison and the argument i have quite a lot regardless of whether it was about the Internet Connections or the housing prices that germany is europes biggest economy why are we not doing better these issues and why oh we falling so far behind and so there is certainly some frustration right now at the German Government lehman you were in or did they tell you they thought was responsible for full and behold a lot of it i mean the finger was always pointed towards the government but not necessarily in the grand coalition that we have right now between the conservatives in the social democrats of course all of these issues have been a very Long Time Coming some issues here that you can trace right back to the fall of the wall thirty years ago particularly when it comes to demographic change which will be looking at later in the in the week particularly in places which are in former east germany of course after the wall fell we saw droves of people leave and not many people returning officer is changing very slowly over time but this is going to be a real test is to see if germany can can keep up with other world leading economic powers but also in the meantime its going to have to play a real big game of catch of those well whether thats in the labor market or in digitalization and so expensive to what surprised you most when you travel the world because you talked. I dont know if it was so much a surprise as a confirmation of how as i mentioned all of these topics and very intertwined and i think thats going to be interesting to see how the government reacts to that as well as to see how we might see some cross ministerial when it comes to budgets of course you know it as i mentioned i. O. C. And not many young people returning to the rural areas but we know when theyve got no Internet Connection a soon as they leave the city and see why that would be a turnoff you know you see where they go back to the city as well keep birdie thank you very much they were to your next installment thank you. But we all heard the news earlier today from britain its a boy prince harry and the duchess of sussex make it markel are now well your parents their new bundle of sunshine is some of them lying to the british throne but first things first still need a name and that is still the big unknown tonight. Just before five thirty in the morning local time Meghan Markle gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Sounds of well wishers gathered outside the castle a euphoric prince harry spoke to reporters in the afternoon and i do know that myself at a baby boy. I did this morning a very healthy boy. Mother and baby at their incredibly well as being. The most amazing its been because i can ever possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension but absolutely through im so grateful to you for the love and support for what help from a video thats been on thats been amazing sort of this one as others for the body. There was plenty of speculation about the queens aids great grandchild in the days before his birth tabloid falsely reported the baby had already been born days ago thousands of bets were placed on the odds of a boy or girl now the guessing is over. Yet no its a grace have good reasons for the free speech are exciting my evening best wishes about your guests every last bit. Of it the new parents are breaking with tradition no pictures of the baby will be released for two days the couple had already announced they wanted to enjoy the first few days of their new family and privacy. For us that he will be seeing you joys in probably two days time as planned as a family to have to share it with you guys and seven conceded maybe. Another thing the public will have to wait for is the babys name harry says no decision has been made yet. That of course did not stop the oil watch your very own one correspondence are a lot she is outside Buckingham Palace good evening to you as a lot of youve been right there in the thick of it today. So we dont have a name for the baby we havent seen a picture of the baby what do we actually know about this new royal. We do know very little about this latest royal arrival because megan and harry wanted to keep a lot of things a lot of details surrounding the quiet i mean we have seen a beaming do you of sussex today prince harry coming out and saying he was proud of his wife what she had accomplished there saying his baby weighed three point two kilos at birth and that he was born at five twenty three am but some Big Questions have not been answered yet and that is for example the name the big question that is is it going to be an american or a british name and as is the royal couple theyre also breaking with tradition maybe picking an american name for example as a very good question the baby will is also a u. S. Citizen because of its mother this new baby is. In line to the throne how do you explain all the fuss you would think that this is the first royal baby. Yeah exactly seven in line to the throne and already the aids great grandchild of Queen Elizabeth and so you would think that there wasnt much excitement about it but there is backing from palace where people have been lining up all day to see the royal birth announcement theyve been taking selfies and weve seen some really die hard fans here and also tourists taking pictures with that royal birth announcement and they think that excitement also stems from this royal couple being pretty much celebrities magen being former american actress at their wedding last year we saw celebrities such as George Clooney for example the actor or tennis stars Serena Williams attending theyve been very close to the couple and we can be sure that the new. Royal arrival will get a lot of attention from people around the world today weve heard well wishes including the Prime Minister to resign may congratulating the royal couple but also former First Lady Michelle Obama and now the ice will really be on what is the name who are the godparents and every step of the way of this baby will be very closely watched very closely watched.
