the mass shooting in texas but he say it resulted from a domestic dispute is is hailed a hero. proceed and i just did what i thought was the right day. donald trump wraps up his trip to japan and heads to south korea with the nuclear threat from north korea likely to take center stage. lebanon's former prime minister saad hariri meets saudi arabia's king saul mon two days after you reside. one hundred years ago if he wins a palace here it's a petersburg was echoing to the sound of revolutionaries as the bolsheviks overthrew the governments of the day on reach out and said keep watching to find out why russia's rulers find this a difficult subject. the homeless with all the sports news including west ham have sacked the manager following their poor start to the english premier league season.

but he said the u.s. state of texas a sunday's shooting at a church was the result of a domestic dispute the gunman devon patrick kelly had sent threatening text messages to his mother in law in recent days at least twenty six people including children were killed in the attack heidi jocasta reports now from sutherland springs texas. inside the white steepled sanctuary of the first baptist church of sutherland springs a scene of horror unfolded on sunday morning survivors described a young man wearing a skull mask and dressed for combat walked in and opened fire on men women and children the youngest victim killed was just a year and a half old why this church why would you do this to people like that that are just praying there just were speech why would you attack them on something such on

a sunday when there defenseless police say people had nowhere to flee more than two dozen are dead and another twenty injured the victims account for a start only ten percent of the small town's population leaving a gaping hole in the community i think i'd still like to think i don't even have the need to hear the president donald trump speaking at a joint news conference with the japanese prime minister said the massacre reflected a mental health problem at the highest level this was a very based on preliminary reports very deranged individual a lot of problems over a long period of time we have a lot of mental health problems in our country as do other countries but this isn't a guns situation from said in fact a gun in the hands of two men who chased the gunman from the church may have prevented further carnage i did what i thought i needed to do which is they said that there's a shooting i pursued and i just did what i thought was the right day the gunman

identified as twenty six year old devon kelly crashed his car and was found dead inside next to a cache of weapons police say they're narrowing in on a motive there was a domestic situation going on within this family. the suspects mother in law attended this church we know that he had made threatening threatening she had reset threatening text from him military officials say kelly received a bad conduct discharge from the air force three years ago after serving a year in jail for assaulting his then wife and child his parents in law were not present at sunday service he was ready to fire even. the f.b.i. continues to process the crime scene outside of the church agents are now using metal detectors to sweep for discarded bullet casings it is startling to see this scene unfold on

a field normally reserved for picnics and games but life in this community will never be the same again a time of peace a memory. and heidi joins us live now so he's an established that a domestic dispute was at the heart of this mass shooting what do they do what is the next step in the investigation. that's right mary and so it still remains to be seen what exactly was said in these threatening text messages that the shooter devon kelly sent to his mother in law who was a member of this church remains a member she was not present during the massacre last sunday authorities have also searched through a property link to the shooter in a nearby county unclear yet what they have found there but neighbors have said that for the last few days prior to shooting they heard this stirring noises gunshots and explosions coming from that property all of these are clues for authorities to

piece together but in the end merriam who how and what drove this man to take so many lives with him that may be a question that is never answered. all right fernand thank you very much heidi jocasta bring us all the latest from solomon springs texas well now the u.s. president has wrapped up his trip to japan where he met prime minister shinzo the nuclear threat posed by north korea dominated the talks with both leaders agreeing the time for dialogue is over donald trump now heads to seoul as part of his twelve day visit to asia scott either reports from tokyo. during his two days in japan there's no question that president trump and prime minister they have grown close as friends trump calling the relationship extraordinary calling trump a precious friend and they have also strengthened the alliance between the two nations to a level not seen before but it's not just because they like each other after

a summit meeting on monday they both underlined why they think that alliance is critical standing together against north korean aggression. there's no point in dialogue for the sake of dialogue with north korea now is the time not for dialogue but for applying maximum pressure on north korea we completely agreed that for north korea to change its policy. and the u.s. must take leadership closely collaborating with the international community so that we can enhance pressure on north korea through all possible i mean it's the era of strategic patience is over. some people said that my rhetoric is very strong but look what's happened with very weak rhetoric over the last twenty five years look where we are right now the two agreed more pressure needs to be applied to north korea saying that should come from russia and china prime minister announced tougher unilateral sanctions against north korea assets of

thirty five people and groups will be frozen earlier today the president and first lady milan a truck met the japanese emperor akihito and empress michiko at the imperial power japanese citizens abducted and taken to north korea is an issue prime minister has worked to keep alive a way of showing strength against the provocations of north korea and something he wanted to highlight with president trump in town. the leaders met with a group of abductee family members and one abductee who was returned to japan fifteen years ago most of those taken have been gone for thirty to forty years less trade was also discussed in trouble again raise the question of the trade deficit between the u.s. and japan we've started the process and it's gone on for a long time but i know that we will be able to come up with. trade deals and trade concepts that are going to be fair to both countries the first leg of president trump's trip to asia drew to a close with

a state dinner the next stops on tuesday he's got other al-jazeera tokyo. so how is all this been going down in south korea itself the place obviously at most risk from north korea tony but he reports from seoul. the u.s. has been flexing its military might for president trump's visit its state of the art u.s. b. one supersonic bomber has been flying close to the border with north korea in the western pacific three u.s. carrier groups stand ready and in japan stealth bombers of the move to within striking distance tensions have been on the rise on the korean peninsula since the u.s. president and kim jong un began their war of words the north korean leaders planning to produce an intercontinental ballistic missile tipped with a nuclear warhead that could hit the u.s. mainland trump has vowed to stop that happening some south koreans are worried the president's saber rattling could provoke a conflict. of rhetoric increases the possibility of war rather than decreases it

is behavior raises a question about his qualifications as the leader of a country. rather than pressuring north korea with rhetoric a dialogue should take place for a peace treaty between north korea and the u.s. that this crisis can be addressed. before war breaks out south korea will be put in a grave danger. conservative south koreans however who have lived through the war and under the threat of several unpredictable north korean leaders see president trump similarly unpredictable character as an asset he believes trump who is a bit irrational could be a factor in rational approaches taken under the clinton and obama administration did not work north korea developed a number of nuclear weapons new approaches like trump could solve the issue the threat of war is at its highest in years assessments commissioned by the us congress estimate that if conventional war broke out in korea twenty to thirty thousand people would die every day some koreans remember the terrible human cost

of the last war which ended sixty four years ago nearly three million people were killed during the three years of the korean war one point six million of them were civilians and no one here is under any illusions about just what another war would mean. south korea's liberal president moon insists that dialogue is the only way to resolve the crisis which donald trump has called appeasement. our policy is not an appeasement but a realistic one with no alternative taking military options to take out north korea's nuclear weapons which trump mentions it in other words staging a war to end north korea's nuclear program would be a very foolish policy has been little rhetoric coming from the north korean leader recently state media has been releasing pictures of him focusing on economic development such as visiting farms and cosmetic factories but no one is discounting the possibility that behind the smiles he's planning something to mark donald trump's visit tony berkeley al-jazeera so. joining us now from

washington d.c. is john f. a director of foreign policy in focus from the institute for policy studies thank you very much for speaking to us eliminating the nuclear threat from north korea has definitely been a key priority for the transfer ministration though they do appear to have hit a bit of a brick wall recently is this likely to change on president trance trip to the region well i don't think it's going to change during his trip though he did mention the possibility of actually sitting down with kim jong un though not directly which is a good sign that diplomacy is still an option for the trumpet ministration even though the president himself has ridiculed his secretary of state's attempts in that direction then really very unlikely given that he's been an obstacle to rex to listens efforts on that but also we hear well conflicting rhetoric because he's also saying the time for talk is over. well he does say that and he's been

talking tough tougher than any other president in recent memory but we have to remember that this is a man who turns on the dime he was very much anti china during his presidential campaign but look what he did with xi jinping when the chinese president came to the united states so i guess that it is possible for donald trump to change his mind even his policy on north korea. but the administration wants full immediate denuclearization from north korea that's what they sow where is there room for negotiation. the u.s. position there is no room for negotiation since north korea has insisted that it is a nuclear power and will retain its nuclear weapons but of course the negotiations would have to begin without any preconditions even if that's the ultimate goal of u.s. policy and even if it's the ultimate goal of north korean policy to go shushan is

are still possible if the two sides sit down without preconditions that would be the first step it would take some tough negotiations but i think there is a compromise possible even within the framework and so is can you say practically how might this compromise take shape who within the administration might lead it. well i think in the trump administration really the only person would be trump and so i don't really see any of his underlings taking the initiative not at first this would have to be something that donald trump decided was going to be his legacy remember that donald trump has basically one kind of geo strategy and that's anything but obama has gone against every policy that barack obama instituted during his era but with north korea barack obama has no legacy there's no agreement to tear up there are no negotiations to deep six so here donald trump could actually say hey i've been successful where barack obama has not

been. a fastening to fascinating to see if anything does indeed emerge on this asia trip but thanks very much for your analysis john feffer from the institute for policy studies and much more to tell you about in his news hour from london saudi arabia blames iran for a missile targeting riyadh saying it could be considered an act of war. as strikes in the libyan city have done at least several children in need of medical care. and in school here from the u.s. run and made history by becoming the first american woman to win the new york city marathon in fourteen years. that man is justice minister said they'll be no action over the resignation of prime minister saad hariri until he returns from saudi arabia has been meeting king solomon in riyadh after announcing his resignation that two days earlier he quit

citing fears of an assassination attempt against him but analysts say regional politics might be the real reason to hold the reports from beirut. this wasn't just an opportunity to talk the meeting between the saudi king so man and saddle had e.d. was as much an attempt to deny reports the lebanese prime minister had been detained by authorities in the saudi capital after he announced his resignation on saturday how did his political opponents have been suggesting he was forced to step down and is under house arrest in riyadh how did his decision to quit as prime minister brought down lebanon's coalition government a government that included hezbollah did blame hezbollah and its patron iran for meddling in arab affairs this plunged lebanon into a new political crisis and there are fears it may be at the forefront of the regional saudi iranian rivalry and lebanon are divided into similar parties

similar one. and the other is this which means if things will be worth it means that can lead to confrontation between the two parties like what happened in two thousand two thousand and seven two thousand and which can happen that's why we should find a solution to keep or to save the decision. it might be a while before that happens lebanon's president michel aoun has been meeting with representatives of the country's security agencies he is supposed to be holding parliamentary consultations to appoint a new prime minister but the constitutional process is now on hold. we have been told by the president that we won't take any decision before know what the circumstances of how did his resignation from the prime minister himself. it will be hard to find a prime minister to replace according to lebanon's power sharing deal he must be

a muslim and if internal stability is to be men tamed he must be a consensual figure able to bring the rival parties together but this is not just a lebanese internal matter the saudi minister for gulf affairs ephemera upon says lebanon will no longer be the same after heavy these resignation he says lebanese leaders have to choose between peace and terror in other words they have to move away from hezbollah a party that has allies members of government and parliament as well as an armed wing of the risk of an open ended political crisis is real and with that lebanon risks again being a battleground for others wars. beirut well now and on the development some of saudi arabia's businesses have taken hits as an anti corruption crackdown reportedly nets another high profile business figure shows in one of the kingdom's largest travel companies fell ten percent following the arrest of its founder nasser been a killer. he joins a growing list of elites caught up in the purge widely seen as

a move to consolidate the power of the crown prince mohammed bin cell none but he and i invest. is one of the eleven princes who were detained on saturday he's a major shareholder in companies like twitter the twenty first century fox and citi group shares in one of his investment companies dropped ten percent for government ministers and several foreign ministers were also arrested but perhaps the most prominent official removed was the head of the national guard prince met have been abdullah he is the son of the late king abdullah and was considered a contender for the throne jamal michelle has this report. the streets of riyadh may still look the same but this week saudi arabia is significantly different than the one the world knew before the weekend responsible for a quarter of the world's oil production saudi arabia has always been an absolute monarchy but within its political system there was a degree of power sharing between different branches of the royal family businessmen and religious institutions in order to ensure stability and security in

the early hours of sunday however all of that was destroyed a royal decree ordered the arrest of several ministers princes and multibillionaires it was seen as the latest step by crown prince mohammed bin solomon in his quest for absolute power is kind to indicate to us that. it's here in the ground for him. as. being absent and he is not a dollar a thing any equal it can only relate to minor princes it came less than five months after the thirty two year old prince orchestrated a coup against his uncle muhammad bin nayef replacing him as heir apparent that move followed the much hailed riyadh summit with u.s. president donald trump notably those detained in this latest crackdown are being held at the same venue where trump was hosted among those arrested on sunday was

prince and why leave a billionaire who's assets include shares in twitter fox news and apple one of his company's kingdom holdings has reported a ten percent loss in value since news broke of his arrest. it is also the owner of rotana media group one of the arab world's most popular media outlets detained with him are the heads of other mass media corporations including n.b.c. group and our team all of them arrested by the same royal decree saudi arabia's crown prince now has a large section of the entire our walls media at his disposal muhammad bin some man has spent the past two years positioning himself as a visionary willing to transform saudi arabia into a modern and liberal state he's pushed for a review on the ban on women driving cars and has addressed several economic reforms in a bid to lure foreign investors but he's also spent millions of dollars on a devastating war in yemen that has achieved little aside from an outbreak of

cholera and the deaths of thousands of people unemployment in saudi arabia remains high which is troubling considering the majority of saudis are under the age of thirty five and according to financial observers the kingdom's economy is in recession been sandman's policies may be bold and brave as his allies and supporters describe them but those actions have also been criticized as the stabilizing and potentially very destructive. united nations says it's worried a blockade against yemen could hamper humanitarian efforts saudi arabia cut land sea and air access to yemen after his the rebels fired a ballistic missile targeting its capital on saturday riyadh is threatening to retaliate and has called on the u.n. to act and diplomatic editor james bass has more. the humanitarian situation in yemen is one of the grave east in the world it's so bad a child under the age of five dies in the country every ten minutes from causes

that should be preventable twenty million people out of a population estimated at twenty seven million are in need of humanitarian assistance but it appears for now all international aid is being cut saudi arabia has announced it's completely blockading the country cutting all sea and land links its reaction to a missile fired towards riyadh by the who these who control a large part of yemen including the capital sanaa to u.n. flights into the country have already been blocked and we're trying to see whether we can get our normal access restored and we're hopeful that we will be able to continue our normal operations we once more. underscore to all parties the need for regular humanitarian access to all parts of yemen that are in need when the u.n. says it's hopeful its aid can soon resume that's only based on the fact that the

saudis current blockade is said to be temporary when you look at the words the u.n. is using it's clear they're treading carefully the reality is that saudi arabia has been making restrictions on the aid medicine and food allowed into yemen for years after facing turmoil conflict and an ongoing cholera epidemic the conditions in yemen can only be described as dire and they look set to worsen even further. al-jazeera the united nations meanwhile has the forces are threatening saudi arabia again says that a saudi airport is within firing range and could be targeted it's also threatening an airport in the u.a.e. . you know if. we call all passengers an airline and not to be at any saudi old u.a.e. airport as they are the treatment military targets our missiles and we shoulda no

responsibility of to such warning the continuation of the aggression against us forces us to search with strong and diverse ways to respond to such aggression and terror. as strikes in the libyan city have done a have left seven children badly injured and in need of urgent medical treatment but there's a severe lack of medical supplies with the city besieged for more than a year by on groups loyal to renegade general wholly faster than would otherwise had reports from tripoli. these children not only escaped death last week when i didn't defied warplanes attacked the eastern city of. the children lost members of their families including brothers and sisters the injured are now receiving treatment at the main hospital in durban now but medical equipment is limited and the hospital is short of supplies in the search for you search for the hospital is suffering we have more than thirty patients with no

a good fit for freedom of the challenge is going to be the men and women of the forces that are available but your story is that we just don't tell you what the subjects of the story want to know the government is not willing to do the one thing the demonstrators want to apologize for that's what al-jazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth. quick reminder of the top stories now police in the u.s. state of texas say sunday's shooting at a church was the result of a domestic dispute at least twenty six people including children were killed in the

attack. u.s. president donald trump and the japanese prime minister shinzo abbay say the time for talk with north korea is over trump has been on a visit to japan is part of a tour of asia. and saudi arabia is one iran that it will not tolerate any infringement on its national security after a ballistic missile target of the capital riyadh on saturday. well more in our top story now the shooting in a texas church in which twenty six people were killed robert young is the editorial director of doctors for a sponsible gun ownership he joins me live via skype from rochester in new york state when ending a bit more about the background of the gunman we know now that he was convicted of assaulting his wife and breaking that his infant stepson skull actually so i mean how is it possible that he was able to obtain a acquire a gun. with

a sort of background well first of all mario thank you very much for calling us very happy to be with you and your listeners your viewers today this is another tragic event and we are obviously all still learning more and more about it. to your question how could he have obtained a gun. from the circumstances as we understand them i'm surprised that he could. the checks check system to buy a weapon in the united states as a whole includes for any through any licensed gun dealer the requirement to purchase or pass something called a next screen that is missional instant background check system and that is supposed to include data. for many prohibited.

conditions one of which mental health aside. is that interest is intended to be for any condition in which in one or two year sentence might be applied for a crime conviction for any felony and for many violent misdemeanors now i would think that his history of domestic abuse. penalised by conviction and serving twelve months in the us a the us air force jail system should have disqualified him but again we don't know for sure but there is a problem also in which many states. don't fully report these events i do not know how well the military reports these generics i have not actually encountered that question before and that will be

a very interesting thing to find out about them but so does it suggest that they need to be more rigorous background checks or that the existing system simply doesn't walk. i think so i think the letter. is i mean as i described. a condition like this a history like this should have been part of the next database and i think the question is why wasn't it not that there was any other stone to ensure. ok well i'm right thank you very much for sharing your fault for this robert young editorial director of doctors for sponsible gun ownership. thank you maria. the cop twenty three u.n. climate change conference is taking place in germany it's the first such meeting since donald trump sided to pull the u.s. out of the twenty fifteen paris climate agreement government experts have gathered

in bonn to discuss how to put that plan in place to combat climate change in but it into action al-jazeera isn't it clark is that. it is that time of year when the climate bandwagon rolls into town twenty seven thousand delegates this year presided over by fiji a nation very much facing its own peril then media sea level rise what is this conference all about it's all about trying to forge the rulebook for the paris agreement created back in two thousand and fifteen aiming to keep global warming below two degrees celsius preferably one and a half degrees celcius now post germany is seen as something of a renewables pioneer a pioneer of green energy if you like that behind the scenes there's a huge dependency on one of the dangers of all fossil fuels and that's around coal . place of the polish border in the german province of a landscape dominated by open cost mining they've been producing coal his since one

thousand nine hundred full and germany still calls out hundreds of thousands of tons every day this from a country which bills itself one of the planet's most climate friendly nations in recent years there has been an enormous upsurge in the use of renewables here in germany especially when. coal still represents forty percent of the total energy mix and more than hall of germany's coal fired power stations years and years coal of all the lignite the mind yeah it's cheap but it's more carbon than anything else. renewables cover around a third of the country's electricity demand but there's a view that the coal truth is hidden behind the curtain of germany's green energy revolution emissions actually a not dropping over the last two years we have seen basically constant emissions not increasing missions but constant emissions in the power sector by two thousand and twenty the government wants to recuse the emissions roughly minus forty percent

compared to the level of one thousand nine hundred so without a phase out of coal it's quite simple this cannot be achieved but some believe germany's climate promises were too ambitious a transition away from coal must be done slowly and cautiously. we need to bear in mind that we cannot stop our industrial and economic life just to save carbon dioxide they will need spirit justing of goals a realistic one option is to replace old power plants with new ones to reduce emissions meanwhile the threats of thousands of job losses has not encouraged germany's politicians to commit to ditching coal but that could change saying i'm glad michael may have won the last election but she's in negotiations with the green party to help or form a government and the green party have to munns problem is that the old government because they couldn't decide whether they go hundred percent renewables or not put

a ceiling on new power plants and if you lift the ceiling again there's no problem of guaranteeing electricity in the net the big thing is to actually talk about and then do the final transition step of phasing out of coal together with the regions which are highly involved in this process as a palm conference begins chancellor merkel knows her nation has a filthy habit that she might be forced to kick by fast tracking a way out of germany's dependence on coal. so to an opportunity there for the green party to exact some leverage from the chancellor angela merkel now the u.s. government may have turned its back on the paris agree with its several cities and states in the united states policy the federal government all together in the pursuit of climate policy toward reports now from san francisco. dan kammen used to be the state department's science envoy for renewable energy he

says he tried to give president trump a chance but then he is carrying out here campaign promise or campaign threat to pull the us out of a climate accord was exactly opposite of what my mission of science envoy is cameron's resignation letter went viral. now he travels the world to represent the state of california on climate change we will put our miners back to work as the white house pulls back from a new level energy and climate action new york city has promised to meet the paris climate standards boston is planning a global climate summit if the new and states are in acting climate policies of their own the u.s. . climate alliance you might as well think of california as its own nation because let's face it it qualifies with a population of over thirty nine million people and a g.d.p. of over two and a half trillion u.s. dollars this is the sixth largest economy in the world so it has an incredible

influence when it comes to climate change nearly a quarter of the electric vehicles on the roads of the world are on the roads of california and so it's no wonder that when you meet a climate scientist out on the world stage so often they are from california lisa eleven who studies the deep ocean at the scripps institute in san diego is speaking at com twenty three in bonn she says she's frustrated by federal climate commitments there are fourteen nations that have coastline that did not mention the ocean it on my nose at the u.s. and that's why she and so many other california scientists are speaking out scientists who do the popular very important in educating the delegates many of the science background on dan kammen who was on his way to appear at the vatican when we spoke says he's proud to represent the state and voice for california is sounds pretty good to me together city and regional governments around the world pushing for climate action represent as much as

a quarter of the world economy it's about the world perhaps together they can accomplish what national governments have not just aboard al-jazeera san francisco . now then. meteorologist richard i'm going has more on the global rise in temperature. it was a cop twenty one and the paris agreement that it was decided that the nations of this world would commit themselves to limiting warming to two degrees c. above pre-industrial levels now as you move on to bond things have actually moved on as far as the science is concerned such that that limit is going to be reduced hopefully to one point five degrees with a commitment to net zero carbon dioxide emissions by twenty fifty now at the same time as bond is taking place we've just seen results coming out from various agencies in the us which state quite categorically that global temperatures increase between zero point six and no point eight degrees celsius between one

thousand nine hundred fifty one and twenty ten indeed the last thirty years have seen temperatures higher than they have at any stage in the last one thousand three hundred years and that doesn't matter where they're talking about north america or about europe or about asia and as a result we are seeing temperatures rising globally twenty sixteen the warmest on record think twenty seventeen will come in just behind it but only just behind it with twenty fifteen in third place we are seeing some more intense cyclons we've seen bigger psych loans and it's all having an impact on the day to day weather so as far as bonnet is concerned we are currently at one point one degrees above pre-industrial limits are going to hit that target of one point five degrees then the delegates have certainly got their work cut out. over the next two weeks will be no end of debate over the policy the wording of the rules delegates who are trying to purchase agreement for. well for more on this i'm joined on the phone

from chris john a figure as executive secretary for the un convention on climate change thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us so we've just been hearing there the paris climate agreement was hugely significant as a first step to tackling climate change in a global way but if targets are to be met how does the international community now need to build on that. well thank you marion for of having me tonight you know what we have here actually our race is going on at the same time one is the brain temperature rise just heard temperatures continue to rise emissions will continue to rise and we really are against a right time of year to be able to stop the temperature from rising beyond the one point five and beyond to the queen which is what was agreed in the paris agreement on the other hand it is very clear that there is also

a grave to be carbonized on the move and we've just had a very interesting piece on coal there but the fact is that we are not as as a community of nations we're not increasing our dependence of coal we're actually get the latest information that has come out from the international agency of energy show that while in two thousand and thirteen they thought that we the people of the us the coal by thirty nine percent that has actually now been corrected to one so there are actually many indications that in fact the dependence that the demand on coal kind. we are beginning and that doesn't mean that we are clear goals we should be very soon but it does mean that we have become we have begun to use the car because the global economy took

the club carbonized our electric grid and that that carbon has a sion is on top of both. on an egg and i got a potential increase and of course we've seen over the years that it is often developing countries emerging countries that are the victims of the most volatile swings in the climate what about this issue of compensation and investment from developed countries to help them deal with these challenges and to help them be become more resilient because this is a very divisive issue. yes. that is what we call historical view where it is a question that it is the countries of the north who were the ones who during the two hundred fifty years have burned most of the fossil fuels and put most of the

greenhouse gas emissions up in the atmosphere which is what has caused climate change not one denies historical responsibility however at the same time no one is standing away from assuming future possibility and everyone understands that the future is a possibility for what is going to happen in the future pretty carbon i think is a shared responsibility if not in the service possibility because larger economies have more capacity to. reason but every country can contribute in some way and in that respect i would like to highlight that china and india have been doing over the past two and some years which is clothing their coal plants. india and talk with a moratorium on any new coal for ten years until two thousand and seventeen and both of them in that. amount of money in the spring will energy in program likely

but that all goes into wind because they understand that the energy future. is going to make them more competitive in the future they do not want to rely on the technologies of last century they want to begin to invest into the technologies that this century but they can have an economy that is strong that is energy independent and that is competitive. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on these told her this christina figure is joining us there from live on. now documents leaked to a german newspaper appear to show that thousands of the world's richest people have previously unknown investments held in offshore companies donald trump secretary of commerce wilbur ross is reportedly among them he's alleged to have ties to russian businesses linked to people close to president vladimir putin ross has said there's nothing improper about when. coming out of the sport we find out if the international football friendly could soon be

revolution santander had at least something of the old celebrates rio. the anniversary was unequivocal and so when the soviet times a day of pomp and ceremony but these days russians are less sure what to think it was. after a while you start to re-examine these events are there is no unequivocal opinion on it is too complicated too many things are connected with it. at school we were told one thing then there was more information and we learnt the other side nothing is ever black and white there are ten different shades this on these goes all the way to the top. we see how ambiguous its results were how closely the negative and we must acknowledge the positive consequences of those events are intertwined let's ask ourselves was it not possible to follow an evolutionary path rather than go through a revolution. few beyond

a handful of still committed communists would appreciate bombastic anniversaries like in the soviet days but it seems there's zero state enthusiasm for holding an official event even market moments that change the world it's not hard to see why putin's government finds the bolshevik revolution a difficult subjects that brought down an empire led to the murder of the former ruler and millions of citizens and shattered the global order of the day how do you follow all of that in some modern russia's state indorsed mantra stability. the governments may be mostly mute but others aren't in pages berg's winter palace now houses the have a taj museum and it was down these corridors that revolutionaries ran a century ago to depose the provisional governments visitors to the near exhibition here can amongst other things see portraits of perforated by bayonets in one nine hundred seventeen. journalist and author. has set up project nine hundred

seventeen which reports the revolution day by day as if it were happening now he's happy there's little official interest in today's russia sometimes almost all all the time history's being used as a propaganda tool so now in terms of nineteen seventeen there is no official putin approved person off that revolution and that's cool that means that we can discuss it we can explore it we can't make independent historical or media projects about that and we we see no obstacles. whether it be packaged as education lite mikhail's project or entertainments like this project it sounded like spectacular interested russians are talking about the revolution even if that government is. rory chalons al-jazeera st
