Came down. Im from gail welcome to the program. Chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart emmanuel macro have issued a joint statement reaffirming their support for the Paris Climate Accord speaking in beijing president macros that cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions would be decisive this follows the trumpet ministrations beginning the formal process of withdrawing United States from the deal presents she described the deal signed in 2015 as the reversible. Matilda ticklish look over the past 2 years in the fight against Climate Change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment. But 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. Now the course of the world how scientists around the globe so worried that theyve issued a joint call to action on Climate Change describing it as an emergency to many of us living too well they say without taking note of what its doing to the planners they warn that we risk untold suffering if things dont change. To mitigate an impending Climate Emergency sadia 11000 Scientists Research in 6 areas is 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 sirte 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 habitat 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 lets get more on this from Climate Policy research to cash in a corner of much of from the new client institute in cologne a welcome to the w m look if you were to provide us with some hope in what looks like bleak times we just heard that a major driver of Climate Change is the pursuit of affluence and wealth which sounds like were all doomed because what government is going to tell their people not to try to build better lives for themselves and their families. Yes thats correct so when it comes to Climate Change and. Global warming the c o 2 Carbon Dioxide emission is the largest. Factor and this is covered that said emissions strongly related to energy use that is again strongly related to correlated to g. D. P. Growth so. Reversing that trend reducing the c o 2 emissions to net 0 and the 2nd half of the century as. Laid out by the Paris Agreement is an extremely challenging task. Is it not impossible. It is not impossible it is a very challenging task of course in the longer term you want to have a very different set of technologies which includes. Current capture and storage combined with energy which basically removes the outside from here and started to store it underground so these technologies will come right in the long term so it is not impossible but again it is challenging. To get your career muchly from the new Climate Institute in cologne speaking of well take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has officially notified Buckingham Palace the country will go to the polls on the 12 december Election Campaign is likely to be dominated by rex it with 80 percent of voters telling pollsters their vote will depend on partys attitudes to the.

And the german capital is marking 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall on the night of november the 9th 1809. 00 east germanys communist regime reopened the border came as ones allowed its citizens to safely cross to the west for the 1st time 13 years it turned the hatred and dead the border into just a war this week as well as remember the people who died trying to cross the city is also celebrating the freedoms that follow. A. Day w. Reporter David Leavitts is that out and about in berlin amongst the festivities welcome david where are you. I feel well im at a kind of an outdoor picture show as you can see this is part of the week leading up to the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall part of this week of commemorations here in the german capital and now this is not just your normal projection screen this is actually a piece of the berlin wall one of the very few pieces that is Still Standing and actually this is the largest piece Still Standing now 30 years ago where im standing now was not a place of art and culture it is what was known as the death strip i could have been shot to death 30 years ago just for being here by east german Border Guards either ones in the towers that were part of this wall complex or on patrol boats on the river splayed behind me and if you can see these blue lit up poles these posts in the river behind me they mark where the actual border was now just in this area alone 10 people died trying to cross from communist east berlin on this side of the river to west berlin on the other side of the river to what was considered the free berlin in total more than 100 people died trying to cross the border here in berlin alone and if you extend that to the people that tried to escape communists is certainly in total that figure goes up well above a 1000 most of them young men between the ages of 18. 25 and that explains of course why in 1989 when the border opens up most people just wanted this wall to disappear they came out with hammers and picks and started tearing it down and the reason that this stretch of the wall is still here today 30 years later comes down to a group of artists. The east time gallery was started in february 19. 90 artists were invited to paint an original portion of the berlin wall back then the initiative was designed to help east german artists who had suddenly been left without an income but in those exciting days of the former communist state opening up artists came from all over the world. When berlin was divided it was common for people on the western side to draw graffiti on the wall but on the eastern side people approached at their peril the wall became more and more fortified with heavily armed guards tripwires searchlights and lookout towers Border Guards were ordered to shoot to kill anyone who tried to escape and more than 100 people were killed trying to cross the border in berlin alone just a few months after those instruments of oppression were dismantled the east side gallery turned the symbol of terror into a canvas for Free Expression some of the artworks have become famous around the world because the gallery is exposed to the weather the images of had to be restored or even repainted several times today the east side gallery is a popular tourist destination. Back to David Leavitts. David whats going on there today.

And quite the different a different place to what it was 30 years ago when this was in some ways the center of the cold war and this film is just Getting Started up and we expect a lot of people to turn out to see it and David Leavitts and the former east berlin thank you.
