And the biggest airplane deal in history has just been. At the dubai air show ill bring you up with all the details in our business segment. And sarah harmon welcome to the show its good to have you with us. Needs of finding threat of our time thats how the head of the u. N. Antonio terrace has described Climate Change is one of a number of Global Leaders attending climate talks in bonn the leaders are hoping to inject a sense of urgency into the discussions about the implementation of the twenty fifteen Paris Climate Accord frances president a man. Called on all countries to accelerate the shift to cleaner energy while german chancellor Angela Merkel said the paris to accord was just the beginning. Well thats why this year has been a very important for each and every one to do his or her side and also to make this contribution is a compromise so we have to be seen as you serious and accepting paris as a starting point but also knowing that our work our work has only started and said that if we look at the cast test refuse that we see all of the world natural disasters and we are aware of the fact that this is a very tight and one that we need to take seriously that we need to match our words with deeds we here in germany will put a lot of effort although it might be controversial so im not saying this sort of just like that easily and saying well you have to do something i know i know its difficult i know its difficult to fight for it so i wish all of you who are standing up for Climate Change be it as representatives of state vs as representatives of n. G. O. S show the necessary courage and goodwill and thank you for listening you start craft. Thank. You d. W. Scripts for spring gate is a Climate Conference for us in the city of bonn Christopher Good to see you we just heard german chancellor Angela Merkel saying the paris quien agreement is only a start so what comes next. Well without bomb there is no paris by that i mean that parents twenty fifteen agreement that is the historic agreement that everybody talked about two years ago a huge leap forward for Global Climate policy but whats happening here in bonn over these past two weeks is basically the spade work thats needed to implement the Paris Agreement the Paris Agreement in a sense is like a constitution as you know constitutions need to be interpreted they need a whole slew of rules and regulations to implement them and that spadework that nuts and bolts negotiation thats whats going on at this Climate Summit in bonn i understand that there is broad agreement on a draft of what theyre calling the rulebook for the Paris Agreement the next thing after this summit finishes is next years Climate Summit in captivates in poland that is where the worlds nations will sit down and look very closely at that draft of the rulebook and agree upon it ok earlier we heard the french president manuel making some specific suggestions for europe to take on a Stronger Leadership role when it comes to fighting Climate Change tell us a little bit more about what exactly is proposing. Well some of it has to do with funding present mccraw. Addressed frontally the lack of funding or the gap in funding that has emerged because the u. S. President on the trump has announced that the us is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement in terms of actions the us has stopped much of its funding going into some of the International Organizations that deal with the fight against Global Change one of those organizations the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the i. P. C. C. That is the main. Body where scientists get together and achieve consensus on the science of Climate Change and based on what they. Decide is going on with our climate and how its impacting the world that is the scientific basis upon which political decisions are taken at Climate Summit so the us has stopped funding the i. P. C. C. As its called and present mccraw basically said europe is going to step up and. Plug that gap that funding gap and hes also saying that altogether the gap in funding that has emerged because the u. S. Is pulling out if we all stand together we can plug that gap ok so a lot of negotiating about the nitty gritty of how exactly Climate Change goals are going to be achieved but of course christopher we also heard a very poignant message from a young school boy in fiji talking about how Climate Change is impacting his generation. Many of us it today is in doubt the mission thats it from Climate Change is real. Serious and hes growing overnights i dont if im a president of america missed the Barrack Obama he states and i quote Climate Change is no longer since a lot of it is that but here it is up to me now and yes ladies and gentlemen hes. Is real it is not a medium i you mean you do things like this have you done to me what will happen if you cannot this reality these days it isnt gentleman speech didnt cause me lots of the problem but walk the talk is more effective mindset and set up in combating this environment do you on next generation. All right you heard the boy you have to walk the talk to you think delegates got that message there in bonn. On the delegates here in beaumont i mean obviously there are National Delegations who. Shall we say not very cooperative when it comes to fighting Climate Change and agreeing on the science that says that Climate Change is caused by man by humankind but you know most of the delegates here committed to climate to fighting Climate Change so it definitely did resonate with them as the fijian president c. Has resident resonated with them throughout these past two weeks. One one thing that the fijian bringing to the table obviously the perspective of a small island nation the first small island nation to preside over this kind of Climate Summit and that perspective is one of the most Vulnerable Countries to Climate Change is giving. The people that they represent a very powerful voice in these negotiations are giving voice to the vulnerable there in bonn thats Christopher Spring date for us thanks so much. At least fourteen people have been killed in flash floods in two coastal towns in greece people were woken by torrents of water raging to their homes after a night of heavy rain the Prime Minister has declared a period of national mourning. This is a site very few people are used to seeing but especially great. To rancho rain is rare in greece and so is flooding on the scale. Of. The waters trapped many residents in their homes of forced them to take refuge on their rooftops. Risky services say it remains unclear how many people are missing particularly in coastal regions west of athens where a number of people were swept out to sea. Some residents have begun to assess the scale of the damage many are overwhelmed. Souple forgotten everything was knocked down broken nothing was left standing even the doors the bathrooms the bedrooms everything was swept away everything ive lived here all my life and nothing like this is ever happened before. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in the region hardest hit by the flooding at the foothills of the mountain in western attica. Many housing settlements in the area a build without taking into account planning regulations in athens the prosecutor has ordered an urgent investigation into the deaths and destruction caused by the flooding but you also say theyre investigating possible urban planning offenses. Well theres growing uncertainty about the situation in zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe is under house arrest right now the military appears sort of seized power but did not is that its staging a coup the head of the African Union told the a. F. P. News agency though that he thought the crisis quote seemed like a coup and he called the military to halt their actions the soldiers took over a National Television station to say it wasnt a coup to both our people and they will be beyond our borders we wish to make it abundantly clear that this is not a military takeover of. What these men were Defense Forces is doing is to pacify do you generate the political social and Economic Situation in our country which if not addressed made use in your own it com. But with tanks and military vehicles blocking off parliament and government buildings in the capital harare it sure looked like a coup. The fate of president Robert Mugabe and his wife grace is unclear but they appear to be in the custody of the military who sent the family was safe the military intervention comes out to months of power wrangling about who will succeed ninety three year old mugabe he has ruled the country since one thousand nine hundred ninety but is last week mugabe fired vice president. He was widely viewed as the heir apparent and backed by some of the countrys most powerful generals that sacking seem to clear the path among these wife grace to be next in line some welcome the military for now seemingly stopping her. Says that development in the politics of our country in this fight is allowing the military to fight sports and but i think its also a sign over the liftoff zimbabweans because from the looks of things that it listed theres been a stop to the family dinners the agenda that was being propagated by bye bye bye bye obama got he and his wife with zimbabwes economy collapsing for some in harare the focus remained on getting by. Throughout this situation all we hope for is peace we dont want to be disturbed in our daily work we want to survive when the culture of the. Frustration has been growing in zimbabwe it used to be wealthy but thirty seven years of mugabe have left the economy in tatters and the question of who will take over to try to repair it has now been blown wide open. Often one joined now by reverend kenneth batata he was recently appointed general secretary of the Zimbabwe Council of churches reverend thank you for being with us is this a coup. Yes i think that is a mental floss which. What we know right now is that the mini toddies in charge of the media its. The way people are supposed to move. Its just admit tough language what could be code but what we know for sure at the moment the military assumes to be in control many s. P. s of life balance or seems to be control of many spheres of the like you say could zimbabwe be facing yet another civil war reverend a so with us yes i can hear you im wondering if you think zimbabwe could soon be facing another civil war. This is a lot of good just fia true but as things look at the moment it looks like hes a unified getting old lots of opposition they may call. I think we lost the audio there we do apologize to our viewers who are listening to reverend kind of matal to who was recently appointed the general secretary of the Zimbabwe Council of churches unfortunately we lost audio to harare we do apologize but coming up we have some news in the business just gobby our it has been a good day for air bus a great day for airbus air and definitely a historic one airbus has just struck its biggest deal ever in the wake of reports of weak sales of its a three eighty super jumbo it now received a juicy order from private Equity CompanyIndigo Partners from the u. S. The order is a big one but for smaller planes though four hundred thirty single planes from the a three twenty neo family for a whopping fifty billion u. S. Dollars that would provide indigo with state of the art aircraft for several low Cost Carriers it owns a north and south america and here in europe. But those planes are too slow lets speed it up what about a london to new york flight in three hours it still sounds a little crazy but a u. S. Startup wants to bring back supersonic airplanes fourteen years after the legendary but unprofitable concorde stopped flying the new supersonic generation of airliners should be faster quieter and above all more cost efficient it all adds up to a real super sonic boom at the dubai airshow this could be the future of passenger flight the new supersonic jet called boom traveling at twenty three hundred Kilometers Per Hour it would be faster than any other passenger plane ever built and with fifty five seats one of the smallest. For now visitors to the dubai air show can only see a few small models but its turning heads and i think supersonic can only come from a newcomer if youre boeing or air bus your economic incentives are to iterate on the same product you are making for decades for super time to come its going to have to come from a new company there of only ever been to supersonic airliners and they proved to be expensive impractical and even dangerous but today many of the hurdles that plagued the t one forty four and the concorde have been overcome concorde was a technical fix thats an economic failure fifty years later weve got new technology a carbon Fiber Composites a turbofan engines which allow you to do supersonic for seventy five percent less than concorde talk there have already been seventy six orders if everything goes according to plan the first planes will be delivered in six years the number of eylandt in the world for the susan attract new product. Limited which will might like to go because Trans Pacific trans atlantic perhaps to kill or at school them again how Many Airlines will be buying that thats a more complicated question but its makers say its a product for a lucrative need a flight across the atlantic in the boom should cost around five thousand euros within the budgets of Business Class travelers. Well in venezuela is surely approaching bankruptcy at supersonic speeds now the cash strapped country has signed a debt restructuring deal with russia it will ease the terms and conditions under which in this way that must repay some three billion dollars it. The deal comes just a day after Credit Ratings agencies standard and poors and fitch declared the south American Country to have partially defaulted on its debt. Venezuela isnt paying its bills and is already in partial default now its over to a four hundred twenty Million DollarInterest Payment the deal with russia will help fund that at least but the three billion dollar amount is nothing compared to the countrys sixty billion in bond debt despite the rot in the domestic economy the countrys central bank has been considered a reliable bond issue were always paying on time as recently as sunday president Nicolas Maduro said his country would never default his Communications Minister making clear where the government places the blame. For a year say need three financing for venezuelas foreign debt has begun in a coordinated manner. We are clearly overcoming the siege at the trumpet ministration National Assembly president julio baugus and other representatives of the right in venezuela are attempting in venezuela. The fabric of Venezuelan Society is beginning to tear a few months ago the u. S. Imposed sanctions on venezuela the e. U. Has followed suit with a weapons embargo and travel restrictions on some government officials desperation is mounting economists estimate venezuelan inflation is running as high as seven hundred percent food and medical supplies are scarce as the country scrambles to save money. Five percent of its exports are crude oil imports an overwhelming majority of its food and so. Things that are immediately when imports are slashed. Investors are demanding a
