President abused his power and the white house covered it toppled the accusations of the reserve though our. Understanding of the pros and scope of office. From the president himself to. Democrats who wanted to build an impeachment case against donald trump as he tells supporters its aboard a big hoax. And go on a song to press for a president ial election overshadowed by a sergeant damaged by violent extremists are threatening to disrupt the vote with suicide bombings and rocket attacks. On a warm welcome to you im honored that she. Fried is have come to be linked with Climate Change demonstrations and more protests are being held around the world today tens of thousands of still. Have crowded into Public Places in new zealand and theyve been joined by parents and grandparents in whats being billed as the countrys 1st intergenerational strike pilch is also under really in south korea where hundreds of students boycotted their classes and rallied in the capital so to demand that while leaders take immediate action on Climate Change. Did have his hands brand is right in the middle of a protest in the heart of the german capital welcome home for the last week on friday the numbers of people there were huge but today to protest seems a bit small to tell us whats happening there and look protests is a thing to you. Isnt it last week there were over 200000 people on the streets here in berlin the largest demonstrations are some instruction in germany after time and 1400000 people all over germany today too there are demonstrations in about 70 cities around germany but as you can see probably behind me its a few hundreds today rather than a few 1000 demonstrations i think have been much larger in other countries where is in germany there were large about a week ago but at the same time the mood continues to be very fierce amongst the demonstrators here theres a sense of betrayal that their older generation the parents generation you might say has betrayed them and theres also also to some extent a sense of fear a fear for the future of the young people here they somehow feel that their future is in danger and the icon for most of the young protesters of course is greater than during but she gave an impassioned plea at the United Nations this week has that created momentum for these protests do you think that. I wasnt able to come to understand the question completely but i think you are asking about the. Of great attuned. Speech at the United Nations right here this week that has had a big impact has had a big impact on people here its been quoted several times and i think its specially the mood that created to express their that mood that sense of anger that passion and i think that sense of betrayal that is something that the young demonstrators behind me here share very much greater turnback has been quoted several times with the statement how dare you that seems to have become a kind of rallying cry amongst the students so much the few people behind me here they all say that that sense of something having been promised for many many years for decades in fact and not having been delivered that is something that everybody here feeling and im sure that everybody shares here and you last friday there was a huge demonstration here that you mention at the same day the German Government came up with a climate package now some might be quite critical of bush proposes how is the movement tried is a future responding to those at the close. Well they have to have completely dismissed in a sense that attempt by the German Government to address the Climate Crisis the people here feel and the movement feel that the measures that have been decided the car coming much too late are much too small are much too heres a trend in order to address the extent of the crisis so that sense of dismiss so in a sense of betrayal. A kind of disdain almost for the German Government is very palpable here today right hans bond at the climate protests here in the heart of london thank you very much i. Staying with the environment in russia ranks as the last 4th biggest polluter but the huge Climate Change protests seen globally last week well not my. Ashton russia only a few 100 demonstrations took into the streets and there were just a handful of cities in the capital moscow one protest has been going it alone our reporter Emily Shipman caught up with him my he may be part of a Global Movement but in russia hes often on his own. Has been making his solo stands for climate awareness every friday since march his sign reads strike for climate the 25 year old wants more people to join russias friday for future movement but hes up against the authorities they regularly refuse his attempts to register mass rallies in moscow but his one man protests dont need a permit he says the police are never far away. So. Im not scared anymore. There were fears i felt responsibility for whats happening and im more angry than scared now im angry that we cant take to the streets like the people in europe because its really important for us to all go out together and i know that i cant change everything alone i am angry at the politicians who are infringing our right to protest but over. A shock says theres not much reporting about Environmental Issues in russia he tells people about Climate Change whenever he can but not everyone is concerned. Global warming is debatable they say its getting more then sometimes it gets colder they say thats the same thing its hard for me to understand when you will know it will be then used to be worried about an Environmental Issues but the new generation is more conscious and they want their children to grow up in a cleaner place. For the environment so that the planet doesnt drive and garbage. Every day issues like trash management have made more people concerned about the environment in russia even outside the capital there have been large protests across the country against garbage dumps including near the Northern City of our congress. No were going to russian president Vladimir Putin has recently changed his rhetoric on Climate Change and finally signed the Paris Agreement to limit global warming. When it comes to the environment of the climate things keep getting worse if we dont do anything then fast paced Technological Development will only intensify the whole range of environmental challenges were facing including Climate Change in the depletion of natural resources. A shock once more than just words from the russian government for Global Climate action week he has helped organize demonstrations around russia a handful of young people are taking turns striking in moscow thinks even small protests are worth it. I know that im fighting for my future. For example whats the point of having children its not clear what the state of the planet will be and the nature around being destroyed if we dont fight now we wont have a future we dont have a choice. Is convinced that the tide is turning in russia but until others join him he plans to keep up his lone protests for the planet.

France is remembering its former president Jacques Chirac who died on thursday at the age of 86 in office from 9095 to 2007 mr chirac dominated french politics for decades and was known for opposing the u. S. Led war in iraq and oversaw frances adoption of the euro however his later years were overshadowed by scandal and a corruption conviction. After months of delays and uncertain d. F. Ganesan is set to vote in its 4th president ial election on saturday security is still a major concern as the live on extremists are threatening to disrupt the vote with suicide bombings and rocket attacks there are fears that violence during the election could deepen political instability. Its scenes like this that the Afghan Government is desperate to avoid on election day the security plan to protect voters at polling stations was 8 months in the making but violence is just one of the challenges facing the officials organizing the elections 5 years ago allegations of systematic fraud marred the last one Abdullah Abdullah the man who lost to the current president ashraf ghani then is still his main contender now but. With all our strength we will prevent any kind of fraud in the selection at the last election i said we wont accept any government based on fraud but it happened because afghanistan was facing multiple threats time the start of withdrawal of foreign troops the rise of islamic states and also the taliban have an upper hand. To fight electoral fraud around 100000 election observers will monitor the nearly 5000. 00 polling stations across the country but they will be allied to candidates. One 3rd of the Afghan Defense forces will be on hand but that is still not enough some polling stations will stay shut because the army cannot protect them voters are worried both about their personal safety and fair elections. We all participate in the elections and large numbers that are us the government that it will provide us with security and she was the terms parents of the election was. Threatening us all the time to stop us from participating in these elections or threaten us every day but despite this i believe most people will votes in the elections to defend democracy. Protecting both voters lives and democracy is a tall order for a government in a country where violent militants control or are active in almost half of the territory. As we have the ever present danger of violence in afghanistan is taking a toll on the people especially on women as they struggle to keep their Families Together did you have you met a teacher in the capital kabul despite the challenges she refuses to give up hope for a Better Future he said there is a scene that could be playing out anywhere in the world. Peter copal is helping her daughter with her homework after school. Khadija is a teacher and has high hopes for 8 year old mariam and for her 15 year old son a solid. But as a parent she has it harder than most shes raising her children in one of the most dangerous places on earth kabul the capital of afghanistan. Its. The overall situation in afghanistan is full of destruction. Where every 2nd people are living in fear of an explosion and i worry if i step out of the house i may not make it back alive. Mozart their. Teacher and her family are among millions of afghans living every day with the prospect of being killed in a bombing or suicide attack. The u. N. Says nearly 4000 civilians were killed in 2018 thats the highest figure since it began compiling numbers in 2009. Violence has already struck at the heart of could dejas family. 2017 her brother colleague was killed in an attack while on his way to work. You know when i went to see his body it was very difficult for me it had a great impact on my children especially my son for months after he would say why was my uncle martyred it wasnt his time he was so young. Sergio on. Teachers determined to prevent her life and that of her children from being derailed by the tragedy. Shes doing everything she can to lead a normal life and to make the best of the situation in a city convulsed by a tax. Law i always say keeping yourself from work from life is wrong we cant just say that things are bad and stay at home to do nothing otherwise your life will be paralyzed. For khadija her job as a teacher at a private school in kabul is one source of strength she say shes inspired by the childrens optimism but she also sees it as a way of making a difference to the future by teaching the next generation about the value of peace. Of theirs and i am still hoping for a life where one day it will be completely different from today. Where we wont fear that our children or our families are in danger thats the kind of life i dream of. That says. But for the children that could be just school and for others across afghanistan that dream still seems a long way off. Joining me now from kabul is journalist. And you know in the past have gone voters were not deterred by threats of violence by the taliban will it be the same this time great people go out and vote tomorrow. So ive been time to a lot of people about this over the last few days and people in the major cities who like caldwell general of wild in the east theyre saying that if they feel safe in the city. They will go out there they will try to go out and vote those who are adamant vote. Other thing we have to remember is that there are areas of the country where its almost impossible for people to vote there even districts in kabul where its just too risky theres too much of a taliban presence for people to be able to go safely to a polling station and cast a ballot so these kinds of questions are going to come up and the other issue is that if you look at the election so far from literally the 1st day of the election right up until now there have been constant attacks on. Election gatherings on candidates on. Campaign events and so you know these sorts of things are really. Adding to the fear amongst the people because the taliban have been very adamant this time that they will absolutely. You know sort of target this entire process and i think it will really come down to what it looks like across the country tomorrow so that elections are taking place in a very vague tense atmosphere is what he is saying now what the leading contender is it doesnt have gandhi like it to be reelected or is they facing stiff opposition. Hes definitely spacing a much more concerted opposition and i feel like his team would have imagined in the beginning of the election you know hes definitely seeing his chief executive of a lot of the law gain a lot of momentum. But of course theyre both saddled with this idea of the unity government they both agreed to you know that the package before me to lucian to all of the problems of the last election and the fact that they reach a unity government which led to the creation of the chief executive office and president rouhani being declared the president without official numbers actually being published these are issues that theyll have to keep facing right up until that and these are things that you know they really have to try and answer for and to try and correct against and weve seen that with doctor after law with the chief executive by specially basing his campaign on insulting the president and accusing him of any number of things as a way of trying to distance himself fro
