he said that. the sunrise movement is clearly influential and it's getting results where it matters most. their ultimate goal is to convince the majority of congressmen and women to sponsor the green new deal. so when the next government is elected in 2020 the bill has the weight of support to make it policy the summer's movement is asking for a lot and they're asking for it quickly critics say they're too idealistic but for a problem as massive as climate change if we do need ambitious radical solutions now. today's environmentalists cite risings of the past as proof that incredible social change really is possible. in 1000 i strained britain the suffragettes campaign for women to have the right to vote with a rallying cry of deeds not words they often resort to extreme acts. at some

force many of us need to look to change the way we treat all and there is one group which is taking things to the next level. in october 28th and the group of activists i get by political inaction on climate change declared themselves to be an open defiance of the u.k. government they call themselves extinction rebellious x. off the shore doing the right man i really think management pretty much like they work outside the system engaging in bold nonviolent acts of civil disobedience it's best to create headline grabbing protests designed to maximize public exposure they believe this will gain them a mass funding and force real change in just 6 months they have already expanded into 15 countries spread across 4 continents. i'm at the london headquarters on the day of one of their most extreme actions yet

. in a protest day a cooling of all children exoplanets till 500 liters of fake blood on downing street the office and the president of the british prime minister. had i been mr nice me one of exxon's co-founders claire farrow. went to the idea of the blood of our children. we've already suffering a genocide because of. the impacts of pollution so we're trying with this action to get people to understand that it's that it kills people and that it kills people now it's already killing people it's not like something ahead in the future. and. that's why the whole of the you know as we make our way to downing street i want to know why they're compelled to confront the political establishment in such a drastic way. we think it's important that our actions directed at

government because it's only i think a state led internationally that's going to make a meaningful change to the situation when so we're trying to represent the kind of visceral reality of death and suffering which climate change has already started to cause around the world in which it will force in the future. the precession is designed to feel like a funeral march it comes to a stop and the crowd for silent relief. this is the part of more children again our children and our young people here today. x. are making a profound statement just a stone's throw from the prime minister's office to. meet we need to take action

we don't have much time the. please don't let this be the law that. i'm struck by the rule emotion on display what is the political change the extinction rebellion want to see. what do you want to achieve by all of this we do have 3 main demands the 1st one is for the government to tell the truth to help to communicate the crisis to the public the 2nd demand is to reduce carbon emissions to net 0 by 25 and then the 3rd demand which i think is the main prize is to achieve structural political change in the form of assistance assembly ordinary people who are educated on the facts and then come together to talk about what might be the best route forward do you think it's achievable. i think it's necessary. want to become impossible to ignore so its members are planning to. biggest protest yet they hope

to bring london to a standstill with a 2 week human blockade of the city's streets at. one of the chief coordinators of the shutdown maxie what we're doing with the rebellion is having a cause in the level of disruption that could bring about you know the government to me are demands do you think that you are risk of almost alienating yourself by crossing over into a legal category look there's a common crisis there's an ecological crisis we're here to stop this it's existential threat we face we don't boil and maintaining respect but putting ourselves on the lines we're still risking our liberty the plan is to block the streets of the u.k.'s capital with people chain knock and even glue themselves to structures and one another these actions are deliberately planned to create maximum disruption and cause arrests just trains members on how to deal with the police in

a nonviolent way can only have activist who is willing to be at rest carried off that these men are. you willing to go. in not an easy members are trained to go limp as soon as they're touched all right let's take a we're going to we're going to arrest you. so we take as many as 5 police officers to remove a single activist by maximizing the number of a riced exile believe they can create public and a groundswell of support. for exemption valiance the only way forward this is the only way they believe things are going to preserve civil disobedience and these kinds of actions. 15th of april 2019 and it's the morning of the london shutdown the organizers are expecting thousands of protesters. they plan to block london's main streets and

bridges for 2 weeks bringing the city to a grinding halt by meeting claire as she prepares for what could be the biggest demonstration in x. hours history. thank you for a feeling hopeful i'm feeling hopeful that we're going to have more input and more people are going to understand the message and the and the seriousness of it the reason why we have to do this is because it is this but we do feel this afraid of our future don't know what else to. go through. the extinction rebellions target is the government but the people who will be hit hardest today are the everyday commuters as they try to get to work. there's potential then that all of this can be disrupted and people might be able to get to where they're going to be actions are taking yes now how is that justifies the british sorry we don't really want to do this but we also don't want to pass on.

a livable planet to the next generation. we're either oxford circus 8 30 am and only a handful of activists are here or. we quickly get a taste of where public favor might like. look. i'm not quite sure how the group succeeded in blocking the very heart of london was the plan here because at the moment the road isn't occupiers there's nothing on it so what's going to happen groups of people are going to close rights and then something should be arriving in the way of living out of the blue reinforcements right. that's something i didn't expect. was that this isn't about. even sheeple are pumped by things in the middle of the

street. and hundreds of activists crowded around the fight on the london shutdown has become. and. in a matter of hours 10000 supporters descend upon 5 sites across the capital oxford circus parliament square marble arch piccadilly circus and mostly bridge manned by not just his team. they have blocks the entire structure framed with trees a music stage counts and a human bone up place and. beyond that and i've managed to find none who started snakes and peace activists really so and you know i'm just watching them go boy. what's been happening oh we're just going to monitor in the place as numbers have increased slightly and that's some point they're going to be under pressure to clear the bridge i mean what we've got to try and do is get numbers to build the question is how much disruption will the government force us to create until they

do the right thing and meet the demands and stop trying to keep the sites i know willing to lose their liberty for it and get arrested if people are willing to sacrifice their liberty it sends a message to the public to the media and to the good of the politicians that this is a serious issue house were demonstrations are escalating as protesters target the knowledge is toil and gas company. shell just ran down to a site western rebels have superglued themselves an open top up outside shell age came back thank god i'm back. i'm an indian efforts and one of the knee demonstrators here tell me little bit about why you have a show is known about the problems of climate change for over 30 years hyundai are one of the biggest emitters of coffee and while they still like these acts of criminal damage of the catalyst for the piece to make the 1st arrests. they need to house. accountable for the atrocities to humankind and what not she

a 2nd term to build. a new india. and how long it in this is why from doha also coming up. heavy fighting in syria is edward province as rebels hit back at government forces trying to capture their last strongholds. and here yes border officials evacuated a detention center after a flu outbreak kills a 16 year old course somali boy. indonesia steps up security in the capital after violent protests against the results of last month's presidential elections. avoids to build a new india that's what the incumbent prime minister says and he claimed victory in

the 6 week general election there and say thank forces for their faith in his party and for giving him another 5 years in office well earlier modi tweeted that the people's mandate is for a strong and inclusive india we begin our coverage with this report from sahara raman a new delhi. the cold is not even over but rather be j.p.s. headquarters the celebrations have begun but don't remotely supporters are confident of victory could this be a 2nd consecutive b j p government in the making the votes of hundreds of millions of indians are being collated and candidates and their agents are focusing on the district centers and each constituency. election commission says the turnout was the largest in india election history more than 600000000 people voted out of 900000000 there were eligible to take part in the 6 week election the issues are very clear for some. people i voted for nationalism for the good of the country and

for development worked. they trust multi task. people that reject the cast is that. this election has been one of the most divisive in modern india history i think the security issue has been protected in a way that people's imagination was fixed on that and then you start feeding them constantly through your media on that so it seems that in the post independence india the 1st time for the 1st time security issue has become such a big issue. india has 29 states and 7 union territories and is the world's largest democracy there are over 8000 candidates all fighting for 543 seats in the lok sabha the incumbent prime minister narendra modi and his b j p party won the last election with a landslide victory and the 1st majority led government since 1904 repeating not in 2019 might be difficult but early exit polls suggest modi is heading to victory

once again. well earlier we heard from the main opposition challenger rahul gandhi he congratulated modi on the results. during the campaign i said the people will decide who will rule the country and they have made a decision firstly let me congratulate prime minister murray i must also thank my party workers for putting up a tough fight our battle is of ideology and vision and the people seem to have chosen to be j.p. . well let's cross to new delhi now where somehow rahman is standing by and see how that sounded an awful lot like a concession speech from rahul gandhi but can still very much underway. yes it is didn't it hello and i think that for the moment that's the best that he can do until the election commission declare the final results which haven't quite come out yet what we do know is that the moment the b j p according to the election

commission have won as many as 185 seats they're leading in another 110 constituencies as we head into the very late evening here in india but of course they see things in the prime minister was in the capital he went to be j.p. headquarters quite jubilant certainly at the news that was emanating from the count centers across the country and this is what he had to say to the good of the faithful people that are back to him for the last 5 years. during my campaign i appealed to the people to vote for the beattie for a new india they have responded to my appeal and i am humbled i bow my head and thank them all. of course there's still a lot of issues that need to be addressed that weren't addressed during the election campaign by the b j p they have to tackle high unemployment is the highest rate since $26.00 steen around about 7.6 percent those results were only released

in the middle of the election campaign and didn't give the opposition a chance to debate he has to try and sort out his relationship with pakistan if there is a relationship there at all you remember of course the attack on military personnel in february over 40 killed it caused the 2 nations to have a short bitter skirmish in the skies across the kashmir or. agent that worried the international community both countries of course nuclear and then there is the agrarian crisis the farmers in the distant countryside that really keep this nation afloat and the d. model ties ation the removal of 500 or one styles and rupee notes 2 years ago decimated the economy these individuals are very poor they work all the other cash economy they don't have banks that they don't work with plastic credit cards

without introduction it cause of a great deal of suffering because of course that money was worthless they couldn't get it into a bank all of these issues still terms the indian electorate and prime minister modi will have to try and deal with it in the days ahead as the when he is confirmed does the winner of the 18th general election so hell raman joining us from new delhi thank you well from one moment election to another voting is underway in the european union to elect members of the european parliament between now and sunday people from 28 nations will choose any peace to represent them. and the netherlands are the 1st countries to vote. britain's prime minister to resign may is resisting calls to resign after her latest bricks it plan backfired may's new pitch failed to win over both the opposition and many in her own party one of

her senior cabinet ministers the leader of the house under lead some resigned after saying she doesn't believe the new proposals can deliver breck sets and revised plan included provision for a possible 2nd referendum lawrence lee has the latest now from london. well she hasn't gone yet and as of thursday afternoon evening she was still trying to cesspit lisa resurrects a further iteration of her withdrawal agreement a thing that she could puts a parliament for a 4th vote at some points in the middle of june but the problem is that her whole party is rather patience with her and on friday morning she knows full well that the head of the backbenchers the rank and file concerned in pieces is going to go to her and say that if she doesn't announce when she's going to step down as prime minister they will try to change their own rules and force her out of office and so really it's impossible to escape the closure to reason it has totally run out of

road and the smart thinking at the moment seems to be that on friday morning what she's most likely to do is to announce that she is stepping down as leader of the conservative party but staying on for the time being as prime minister that would allow the race to begin to replace her is conservative party leader but she will carry on as prime minister actually name only until that process is completed an up process will carry on through the whole of june and into july and all the divisions inside the conservative party will be laid bare between the moderates who want to retain some sort of relationship with the european union and the hardliners who don't in the end it'll get whittled down to 2 and it'll be the conservative party membership which will get to decide who becomes the next conservative party leader and therefore in the interim anyway prime minister and the conservative party membership by and large is very hard core and want someone who is prepared to take

the u.k. out of the european union with no deal at all and that's leading everybody at the conclusion the next prime minister of the time being elise is likely to be boris johnson but don't expect the bricks it psychodrama and that inside the conservative party to end any time. and northwestern syria rebels have launched a counterattack against pro-government forces fighting has been intensifying in and how more provinces despite say turkish and russian brokered ceasefire say no harder has the latest. the rebels have beat back gains by the syrian army and its allies in the countryside of hama province in northwest syria the town of far no buddha is back under opposition control the government says it will recapture it but the loss is a strategic and symbolic setback. for no border was the army's 1st win since launching an offensive almost a month ago since then gains on the ground have been limited and has been facing

stiff resistance. the happy to share an armed group many in the international community believe is linked to al qaida is in control of this region after forcing syrian rebels backed by turkey to leave earlier this year those rebels are back on the front lines they are cooperating in what they are calling a battle for survival but it is also an indication that turkey too has joined the fight. when you take a look at the position of turkey in the living area especially the clashes which has really transpired with. turkey is very dedicated to this position that if the diplomacy is not working in the. terms he gives show its heat body starts to every actor inside the. 30 will no longer wants to accept more than $3500000.00 extra refugees to discard. turkey and russia work together in syria

and sponsor a ceasefire in the ad lib area but the offensive is testing their relationship at a time of intensifying dialogue between turkey and the united states the area of hostilities includes a belt of territory that stretches from the northern countryside. provinces reaching the southern edges of the province as well as rebel controlled villages west of aleppo city the pro-democracy side wants to clear those areas from rebels in order to open trade arteries and protect. aleppo cities under its control but little progress has been made so far advancing on the ground is proving to be difficult the offensive however has depopulated villages and created a humanitarian crisis. the almost nonstop airstrikes by syrian and russian jets on opposition controlled villages intensified since the rebel advance at least $200.00 civilians have been killed in turkey and russian ties have so far survived their

relationship extends beyond syria but that loop is where they are bargaining and strengthening their negotiating hand. beirut.
