natasha going to him is standing by for us in west jerusalem but 1st let's go to need to bring him in ramallah neda the palestinians have been pushing for this is talk us through the significance of this today. personally and see it as a very important move one that could potentially grant them justice they've became members of the i.c.c. around 45 years ago and they've been waiting for that move to happen of course phatty been sued to said that she's going to the pretrial chambers to see whether the i.c.c. has jurisdiction to work in palestine but of course about the stimulus have been talking about many issues including illegal israeli settlements in the west bank and occupied east jerusalem as one of the main issues that they're facing on a daily basis the u.n. has said that israel has advanced around plans for around 22000 new settlement units in the past 3 years which is the time when the united nations security

council has announced a decision and said that really adopted a resolution that said that settlements are illegal under international law and made a what's the p.l.o. i had to say about all this that both students have been very personally officials have been very soon to announce that they're welcoming the decision that very happy the palestinian prime minister mohammed states that the palestinians trust and confidence in the international legitimacy and legal system and legality has been reinforced the p.l.o. secretary general has said that israel has been acting as a state that is behaving outside of the international law this of course could help bring more justice to them as forceful syrians are concerned of course the court now has or at least the prosecutor's office is going to the pretrial chamber as we mentioned they have a maximum of a maximum of 6 months before we know whether there are going to be launching that

investigation or not need to ever have there for us in ramallah thank you neda well let's now go to natasha can and he joins us live from west jerusalem now tasha we've seen a swift reaction of a nationally are here to all this. absolutely and many other israeli leaders it's important to note that the international criminal court prosecutor is also saying that there is a reasonable basis that during the war in 2014 that members of hamas and other palestinian armed groups committed war crimes by targeting civilians and torturing individuals israeli officials have been quick to respond they anticipated this decision by the i.c.c. prosecutor this is a holiday weekend but even so the attorney general released a report outlining israel's legal argument and a spokesman with the foreign ministry got reporters on the phone and said the

following that palestine is not a state that israel is not a party to the international criminal court and therefore this case lacks jurisdiction prime minister benjamin netanyahu says that the i.c.c. with this decision has turned quote the i.c.c. into a political tool to deal and to to my eyes israel this is a dark day for truth and justice the i.c.c. prosecutor has apparently decided not to dismiss a drug the palestinian claim against the state of israel this is a baseless and a religious decision the court has no jurisdiction in this case the i.c.c. only has to or stiction over petitions submitted by sovereign states but there's never been a pounds to state. this yahoo adds that the prosecutor or woman has not only quote ignored our legal arguments but our

history and our truth he says she says that jews living on their ancestral homeland is a war crime and he says that this territory we have a valid legal claim to it and that these issues were supposed to be resolved during negotiations between israel and the palestinian authority netanyahu vows to continue to speak out about this he says this is a travesty of justice and he whipped out a letter to world leaders today natasha going to him there for us and western is still bringing you more on that later on this hour but moving on to other news now and huge numbers of people in india defying a police ban on public gatherings to demonstrate against a controversial citizenship at all rallies are being held in new delhi and elsewhere against that law that opponents say is anti muslim violence has erupted in several cities in pradesh state and lock now offices were seen hitting people

with sticks after a police station was damaged a curfew remains in place in the southern coastal city of munging nuru where at least 2 protest as was shot and killed during confrontations with police on thursday and in new delhi thousands have gathered outside the jumma masjid that's one of the country's largest mosques they've also gathered outside a university which saw violent clashes on the weekend students there are calling for the new law to be scrapped so has more from new delhi. i don't think the government anticipated the length and breadth of this kind of a protest initially it was only the students who were protesting but as the government cracked down on the students people have been coming out saying that this is more than just a protest on the ca which is. citizenship law but also on the freedom of expression and the need for people now they are seeing is to

stand up for the constitution while the british the british parliament has voted in favor of boris johnson's plan for britain to leave the e.u. next month for more let's go to the in our european broadcast center. feels like quite a big turning point over here it took 3 failed parliamentary votes a change of leadership and a general election before a plan was passed by the house of commons today but with boris johnson you have the majority friday result was never really in doubt it means the u.k. will quit the e.u. at 11 pm g.m.t. on the 31st of january paul brennan our ports. minister to move 2nd leading prime minister to move 2nd reading. there is a new mood in the u.k. house of commons the knife edge bricks and votes of the autumn are now ancient history the tension replaced by political inevitability and in front of the newly expanded ranks of conservative m.p.'s boris johnson was enjoying the moment history

will record the 1st act of this new parliament in its earliest days was to break the ice floes and find a new way through a new passage through the unsuspected oceans of opportunity his parliamentary majority means that prime minister boris johnson can now press ahead with his vision of bracks it the new law will prohibit any trade talks extension beyond december 2020 and it weakens parliamentary scrutiny of the executive clause on protecting workers' rights has been removed and a previous commitment to receive unaccompanied child refugees has also been watered down. critics and opponents say the changes show the prime minister can't be trusted for all the promises over the past few weeks that they are the party to protect rights at work at the very 1st opportunity they removed the basic provisions they said would be part of this bill that does not bode well

freshman emphatic election victory the prime minister has little need to contemplate the critics or like his opponents but he will have to consider the voters especially those who switched from labor and in his words lent the conservatives their support in the election the simple fact though is that johnson has the numbers with him the eyes of the right 358 knows the land at $234.00. built his bill will become more in january paul brennan. westminster. or challenges following the story as well joins me in the studio now and with boris johnson's landslide election victory this bill was always expected to parkes easily but nonetheless how would you describe the mood in parliament today feels like a new era this acceptance that bracks is going to happen well i was down there in

westminster today and i have to say it felt very subdued you know you know on previous votes of this magnitude in the holbrooks it saga there have been flags and protestors and there was none of that today you know it's quiet the battle is over basically and believers of comprehends everyone there remain as a licking their wounds and the one hope that remain as i think i left with is that perhaps boris johnson's clear majority gives him the ability to tack more centrally to be a bit more like he was as as the london liberal centrist metropolitan. and deliver a softer but i have to say the signs are not pointing that way what boris johnson is doing at the moment or has done with his revised version of this of this withdrawal agreement is to strip out a lot of of the concessions that the reason may have to give to the remain as when

she was in a weak position he's a strong prime minister now so he's taking those things out so you know this safeguarding of workers' rights it's gone environmental standards gone and he's making it's almost impossible for anyone to tamper with the dates now so. it's going to be a shrine in law or the january 31st is the exit date and then at the end of december 2020 once the transition period is over there will be no more extended so just just explaining in terms of what happens next we go into this transition period when nothing really changes in the relationship between you came in you except that we are officially out of the political institution here it's it breaks it but actually breaks it probably doesn't begin until the end of the end of next year basically and that year next year 2020 is going to be spent in for unethical activity as the u.k.

does what looks at the moment to be seemingly impossible to negotiate and put in place a new trade deal with the european union trade deals of that size usually take many many years but the u.k. is going to try and do it in the space of a year and you know this is the thing with the with boris johnson saying the transition transition period will not be extended he's basically self imposing a deadline. that he doesn't really need to do and if the task is too much and that trade deal can't be negotiated then at the end of 2020. britain falls out of the european union into world trade organization rules about is the hardest of all possible brooks it's another ambitious timetable thank you very much for a challenge all those stories are watching closely the wife of a united states diplomat accused of causing death by dangerous driving here in the u.k. says she will not return to the u.k. voluntarily u.k.

home. and then just one of a story defying a warning from the european union poland's parliament on friday passed a law that would see judges punished if they were critical of controversial court reforms the judicial changes sparked protests in poland with allegations are aimed at shutting down criticism of the government european commission has written to polish leaders reminding them to stay within the rules bring you more news from europe a bit later on now back to you in doha. thanks very much mary and well there's plenty more ahead for you this news hour including. failed a mission boeing's new stalin a module goes off course off the launch. and in sports president on the growth of football in the middle east has that story.

now in syria thousands of civilians and provinces are fleeing to the tuckers border following a dramatic increase in russian led attacks there activists are appealing for taki to open its from to tell off a safe passage 7 people were killed on friday morning and at least 19 civilians were killed on shelling and as strikes in it have escalated in recent weeks and there are reports that government forces are preparing for a ground offensive to secure the main highway linking the capital damascus with the northern city of aleppo. while staying with syria and russia has used its veto at the united nations to block the latest resolution on the conflict it would have allowed to a deliveries from turkey and iraq to millions of syrian civilians well let's speak to mike hanna who's at the united nations for us mike what seems to be the hold up in the security council. well this is the 14th veto by russia concerning syria since the conflict began some 8 years ago and backed by

china it has opposed a resolution which was written new ng the border crossings 3 of them this was itself a compromise resolution to allow humanitarian aid across the border into syria russia introduced its own resolution subsequently in which it proposed only 2 crossings stay open for a period of 6 months both these crossings on the turkish border so what is at issue here is where the crossings are place russia completely opposed to crossings on the iraqi and jordanian border being opened and the pen holders including the united states off the initial resolution insisting that the 3 is the bare minimum of crossings that can stay in place to allow humanitarian aid to go into syria with the situation of only 2 crossings on the turkish border that leaves northwestern syria basically without any humanitarian aid whatsoever with that crossing on the iraqi border being closed so this is a high stakes game because it essentially means that come the 10th of january which

is when these renewal for the crossings is supposed to be in place they will be no corridors for humanitarian aid to go into syria and listen some kind of compromise like this despairs is happening between diplomats in new york but given the huge humanitarian crisis we're already seeing talk us through what the likely impact might be on the ground how many people can be impacted by this disperse. well even that is in dispute in the security council russian says that some 1000000 people are affected with the lack of humanitarian aid however others on the council put the figure closer to 5 to 6000000 so it's certainly what ever the is sent in the security council this is going to have ness of ramification on the ground it's been pointed out by those in favor of the resolution of that the humanitarian situation is dire as it is with no aid going in there it's going to get even worse

and what makes this even more problematic is no sign of any solution russia and china clearly willing to veto anything more than 2 crossing points on the turkish border others in the council absolutely insistent that this will not be enough to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in syria very difficult to see how this deadlock is going to break and very difficult to see as well what will happen to those millions of people in syria who will be without humanitarian aid after the 10th of january next year. mike hanna there at the united nations thank you rick. well the man picked to be lebanon's next prime minister says he'll work to form a new government within 6 weeks hasn't he has promised to build a team of technocrats or experts in specific fail it's like economists anti-government protesters there are convinced that he is capable of lifting the country out of crisis insists he deserves a chance. for him to come in

as an independent technocrat i'm looking for a technocrat government depending ministers in order to serve our country in sort out our problems that we all know about i don't know everything and that is why i believe in i'm an engineer and the cabinet will include specialists and economy finance sociology in all fields of interest for all of us to work as a team in order to solve all the problem. is not alone going to solve all of these problems tony badly is in beirut and he says protest as aren't happy with the new prime minister designate. i'm in an area. these people are very much supporters of . the outgoing prime minister and they're very much against the nomination. they want their leader mr hariri to be the nomination but it should be strange in the world of lebanese politics blog did not make

a nomination that nomination for mr came from. a lot. of politics the structure of the constitution here is that the. president has to be the prime minister has to be the speaker of parliament has to be a shiite muslim so. i have to say this this is just a small section small cross-section of what's happening in beirut mainly the sunny population here that have come out and are protesting seems to be to take you forward to get them out of economic crisis mr hariri even though both men are from the so-called. 2 months a complete overhaul of the political system here they want the techno politicians to be they want the techno crutch to be in a whole new look at the way politics is done here they believe that the economics

of the past 30 years has to be done away with. too much corruption now quiet now but they were earlier on throwing stones they were quite aggressive there's a very strong presence of police here and for the moment it's quiet we understand the same as we're going on in tripoli these people are very happy unhappy about the way things are going but equally people say there has to be an end to these demonstrations they have to have a parliament they have to have a prime minister and they have to start getting economic dire situation. iraq's top leader has called for early elections then as soon as possible grand ayatollah ali al sistani said forming a new government is the only way out and that. the country's current crisis protests against the government started back in october after political leaders failed to choose a new prime minister demonstrations forced to step down last month. in baghdad and she says the statement isn't coming from just any religious cleric

the highest religious authority the grand ayatollah ali sistani self issued a statement saying that the country must go to early elections in order to avoid chaos and uncertainty that is looming here this is all because the president has not been able to come up with a nominee for a replacement for the prime minister's post since he resigned on december the 1st that's because the constitution is not very clear about what needs to happen for the replacement to be nominated there is a constitutional crisis going on right now in this country and that's because the parliament has not been able to come up with a nominee for the position of the prime minister any names that have been floated around over the past 1516 days have all been rejected by the protesters on the streets they say that they want a change to the whole entire electoral system and of course that's not something that is likely to happen overnight and this call by the grand ayatollah only adds

an urgency to the matters saying that there really must be a broader solution to try and end this deadlock because as long as this deadlock continues this uncertainty continues so will the security that is looming in iraq and the security situation is just getting worse by day day by day and they said the authorities believe that in order to bring the country together early elections could be a possible way out. well protesters in algeria are rallying for the 44th consecutive week in the capital algiers this comes a day after. officially sworn in as president despite a widespread on happiness action or 5 candidates in this month's election have links to for many of the. demonstrators according for a complete change in the government. still ahead on al-jazeera astray and already in the grip of record heat and devastating bushfires has warned the west could be

yet to come plus. breaking into the games we'll find out how breakdown singh is preparing for its entry into the olympics. well we're into a quiet spell of days from the levant to afghanistan there is cloud looping iraq and a long way north of the caspian as you can see but much of this is low temperatures that satellite is picking up in the hard grind of iran's about 13 degrees in terrorism acts 60. that sort of water. with sunshine in the sky and admittedly cold bites particularly the hard ground in northern syria and eastern turkey that cloud is probably no more neutral it might prompt a shower or 2 but don't think very much the shamali slowly wheatley's it blows down the gulf is kept temperatures in the low twenty's even below the most part that's

typical now the arabian peninsula cloudiness is a possibility even possibly a shower in amman but i don't think so 30 in mecca that's the worst place on this map nowhere to tease for the sas as you might expect it to be the seasonal rains are in angola they have shown themselves a number beyond botswana as you can see but i think the concentration of the next couple of days is more likely to be in these are from tanzania through d.l.c. a back to angola we might develop showers further sarce temperatures in the thirty's tend to charge to that particularly in places like suit and once again the eastern side of south africa. on culture the culture special on investing in a burgeoning rockets from the don't hope for a bright idea. how for a direct investment there's more in shaping the global economy more preparations for the future of it and the globalization of populist sense of the. country

because of al-jazeera. i really felt liberated as a journalist was. getting to the truth doesn't lie with. all those jobs. over a year protesters across france have demanded economic justice police have responded with mass arrests i'm a true great weapon used to constrain the movement do you think he could have been mistaken between aiming at your head or you access all those people in power has been impounds to investigate the escalation of violence in darfur what this means for free speech and the democratic rights of its citizens police on trial on al-jazeera.

and i again i'm just a reminder about top stories this hour the international criminal court as preparing to investigate alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories but it says could lead to charges against israelis or palestinians palestinians say it's along. israel's prime minister insists the court has no jurisdiction and. russia has used its views here at the united nations to block a cross border agent everything to millions of syrian civilians. as warning it will cause a rapid increase in hunger and disease. is a fact the prime minister has bret's a bill by a majority of 124 the u.k. is now on course to leave the european union on january fast. now the u.s. aerospace company boeing has launched its 1st space ship astronauts but not without

a hitch no one was on board for the fast debut test flight but the star line a failed to reach its required altitude to dock with the international space station. reports $21.00 and lift off the rides of starlight the atlas rocket carrying the on man stalin a capsule survived one of its biggest challenges only to run into problems minutes after liftoff it appears as though the mission elapsed time and system had an error in it and that anomaly resulted in the vehicle believing that the time was different than it actually was nasa awarded contracts to both boeing and space x. the company owned by billionaire mosque to develop cheap reusable methods of going to space nasa astronauts have been riding russian soyuz rocket since retiring the space shuttle fleet 8 years ago space x. successfully launched its on monday dragon capsule into space for the 1st time 3

months ago and boeing is hoping to send astronauts into orbit next year for boeing it's likely as a result of this to slip at least a month or 2 i don't think it will be. a huge huge delay these things happen in states like if you get delays all the time but it does it raises the probability that america will have to go to the russians cutting to have them buy some more seats of the russians so yes this latest hitch is more bad news for boeing it's already paid a high price this year for 2737 max crashes within 5 months. killing 346 passengers and crew in indonesia and ethiopia. that caused the grounding of the max fleet worldwide to the removal of boeing's chief executive and multibillion dollar losses to boeing share price and income and production of the latest version of the world's best selling alanah was stopped earlier this week. the difficulties

of the american aerospace industry giant are a reminder that there's plenty of training and learning ahead for boeing before nasa succeeds in the new space race getting private companies to launch astronauts into orbit in a new type of space taxi victoria gate and be al jazeera. of more or less let's talk to francisco diego he's a senior teaching fellow at the department of physics and astronomy at university college london so francisco it seems that starliner is now headed back to us what went wrong. i think it's a very simple fall turn is unbelievable that this thing happened the spacecraft has on board a clock other publicly the clock is controlling all the operations in the in the spacecraft it was launched very successfully and then half an hour later he said separated from the rocket that wouldn't very well and he supposed to take control

of its own movement telecast to lift the orbit from what it was to the orbit of the space station but it didn't because the clock assume that he had already done so and then it was a mismatch between the timing of the fighting the rockets that lift it to the to the star and the rockets to lift it to the space station never happened it was realised on the ground and by coincidence by flight fatal coincidence here they couldn't communicate with the spacecraft because they communicate via relay satellites and the spacecraft was in a kind of the area bit in a silent area between the 2 satellites only commands were not able to be send in time there and. finally they aborted the whole linking to the international space station and the spacecraft is not right now around the air in a lower orbit and then he will land apparently the idea is thought to london

spacecraft in a couple of days somewhere in the in the new mexico somewhere there which will be also a very useful test of course is not a completely failure but we missed the opportunity to dock into the space station show of francisco this was an uncreate mission so no one now humans on board if there had been astronauts onboard could they have fixed this. the idea of in what we cut from nasa is that pratt being the astronauts on board they would have taken control of the of the situation and they would have succeeded in lifting the orbit to the orbit of the space station and this mission would have been successful writes i see francisco that this this and this module and the competing space x. module both of them got seed funding from nasa have we now seen a shift that the space race has been dominated by the private sector and government stepping back and just giving the money well is not so much so we have

to remember that the big caps of the orion capsule that is going to take astronauts beyond lawyer or be to mars to the moon and mars is being. done by nasa but yes this. i think there is a lot of regulations is being implemented in order to to bring all these commercial partners into the place specially or we need to as we saw in your report budget here due to once we are talking about launching astronauts and people into space we have to be careful and the regulations have to be very very strict in this case which was a minor fault i think it's not a major major thing but they said it makes you think that what may happen in the future so francisco by my understanding these modules are meant for both astronauts and commercial passengers rights or how soon could we see commercial passengers and space oh commercial passengers and i think the. this

one this is the starliner and also the the space x. . crew dragon house how about this one seat that was supposed to be sold to a space tourist. i would expect to not to see that in the in in less than one year. one year is not a very long time francisco diego they're the senior teaching fellow at the department of physics and astronomy at university college london thank you for joining us on out of there it's a pleasure now u.s. president donald trump has a lashed out at a christian magazine that called for his removal from office the publication of christianity today called trump court a very lost and confused and said he isn't morally fit to be president exit polls found that 80 percent of evangelical christians voted for trump back in 2016 now the president has responded in a series of tweets accusing the magazine of being quote very far left our white house correspondent candy how that explains why this all seems to have rattled

president. i think what you have to take away from all of this is what donald trump believes and is counting on to help win reelection and that is a very conservative base of supporters that is often white and often identifies as evangelical it helped him win in 2016 and he feels like he kept his promises to that community that essentially he did put on very conservative supreme court picks and he feels somewhat betrayed by the fact that even jelly polls in the united states have a bit of a schism just like the american voter as a whole particularly when it comes to the generational shift in terms of evangelicals a lot of the sort of younger evangelicals tend to have a liberal education and tend to see. many of the controversial issues that their parents would perhaps vote for example bt or even the issue of race tend to lean further left than their parents so the president is seeing perhaps a little bit of

a product of that in terms of whether it's a road if his core support it i don't think so it doesn't seem likely but certainly it is a reflection once again as we've been talking with regard to this impeachment story all week here on al-jazeera just how divided americans are when it comes to donald trump he's a polarizing figure. prime minister has cut short his holiday in hawaii and apologized for leaving the country as the bush fine imagines he there wesson's fison out basing in every state and record high temperatures as a contributing to once described a new south wales as a catastrophic level of danger jessica washington reports from sydney. this is the personal cost of a straining his bushfire crisis 2 firefighters killed when their truck overturned after a tree fell onto the road like most of the thousands of men and women battling blazes across australia they were volunteers who put their lives at risk to keep others

safe we do need all of these men and recognize was that there is there is no phone a person of our will in more of you than someone. those willing to put themselves on the lawn for the want of nothing in return no remuneration no nothing but other than to simply mike a positive difference in their local community across their home city in sydney flags flew at half mast we can't express enough our deepest deepest sympathy and condolences to the loved ones obviously still in shock as to what's occurred and these 2 brave young men who lost their lives represents for us the thousands and thousands of volunteers on the ground bushfires have been burning across australia for months but this week the combination of heat waves and strong winds is making the situation even more volatile. more than 100 fires are burning in a strangely his most populous state of new south wales where dozens of homes have

been destroyed. as an environmental crisis unfolds the prime minister found himself facing hate over his decision to take a holiday to hawaii this week many questioned the appropriateness of the leader going on vacation when large parts of the country are on fire he told the sydney radio station the whole day was planned before the fires began because the rain dissipates. but is understandably caused a lot of. that. he's been forced to return home as the situation gets even worse authorities are warning the fire danger is reaching catastrophic levels just the washington al-jazeera sydney. now people trafficking campaigners say hundreds of women are being smuggled out of burundi every year to work is about school slaves and middle east countries as catherine so i reports from the commercial capital budget for us forced labor sexual abuse and all common complaints. and i wish every woman in this room has

a disturbing story to tell they traveled to the middle east to become to mess. and this is a support group for those who tongue work. who are on duty says she feels traumatized by what happened to her she used to human traffickers to take her to a mine and saudi arabia on different occasions she says she was mistreated overworked and not paid in the years she was abroad. i went there because my mom was sick and i needed money for her medication but they did not pay me and she died they did not even allow me to come for her funeral when i returned from amman life was still difficult so i had to try saudi arabia the treatment was. traffickers started targeting mostly women in broome after and rest broke out in 2015 following a disputed presidential election and with

a struggling economy life has become more difficult most of the women come from poor areas like this one. that death to get any kind of job to feed their families traffickers know this and take advantage of it. trafficking campaign is see an average of $300.00 women are being smuggled out of the country each year the traffickers face a prison tom up to 20 years if convicted more than 20 people smugglers are in jail and several job agencies have been shut down. the law is helping but then mid-story a good environment for women to report many are often scared to do so especially if they have been sexually exploited they think will not be accepted by a real family. nora guro credit has just returned from saudi arabia after one and a half years she was promised a salary of about $200.00

a month but says everything ended up with the traffickers. i got sick and they would not let me go home i want to end the hunger strike and they finally gave me back my passport when i asked for myself the only nothing. nor a good rest is life is now even harder and when she left for saudi arabia she sells pineapples making about a dollar a day she sees it's hard to survive but hopes to never again be forced to make another desperate journey to the middle east catherine soy would you grew up. a court decision means the netherlands will need to drastically slash greenhouse gas emissions next year for all its go back to european war cost center. dutch activists have won a legal battle to force government leaders to take action on climate change climate activists have been celebrating the verdict which forces the government to reduce

emissions to 25 percent of $990.00 levels by the end of next year of course said the government had a juicy to protect its citizens from the effects of climate change the chances of the government reaching the target looks slim with the netherlands being one of the biggest polluters in europe denis van burkle is a lawyer at the agenda foundation which brought the case against the dutch government joins me now from amsterdam i know that you 2 will be celebrating this ruling today but of course we know the dutch government is not going to meet its carbon emission targets for 2020 it's too late for that they do have they say a more ambitious plan for 2030 does it go far enough to comply with this ruling. well you know in fact the ruling is very clear the target for 2020 has to be reached the government has sent since 2015 that there will order tax mend and there still options on the table that the government can take for instance there are a number of coal fired power plants that they could close that does far they did

not choose to do that but there are a number of things that they can do in fact our organization presented together with 750 other organizations a list of 50 measures that the government could take to still reach the 2020 target so that 20 different you are confident that they i mean they've already announced that they're closing one coal plant but you think that there are steps they can take to meet that target even though it clearly running out of time it do you think that's realistic oh absolutely last week that parliament passed a motion again asking the government to come up with more measures the government acknowledged that it has to come up with more measures and it said it will come up with more measures more measures need to be taken can be taken and the gap can still be close although it is a big gap and that's exactly what the court said it is unacceptable to keep pushing the can down the road and to say well we have higher ambitions somewhere in the

future if you can't prove that those higher ambitions in the future actually being right don't know what happens then what happens if they fail to close that gap well we trust that the government will do what is necessary to implement its judgment. but you won't take the legal proceedings against them if they fail to meet this target well that's we in the context of this judgement we didn't ask for any penalties there are possibilities down the line to do that we are not thinking about these things right now what is important for us is that there was a strong judgement from the supreme court and that the government has said it will come up with new measures and we expect them to do so in the next couple of months it's all very well to this for the supreme court to rule that dutch government has a juicy to protect the rights of citizens on climate change but what about corporations and the contribution of the big corporations oil and gas companies to

climate change what about accountability that well obviously they have a responsibility but the difference with governments is that since 1902 they have acknowledged that they have a response they have the responsibility over this problem that they have responsibility for all the emissions in their territory since the climate treaty in 1902 they have adopted that responsibility in paris again in 2015 to say we are responsible for this problem we need to make sure that these emissions are going to not lead us to a warming about 1.5 degrees and we have human rights which are the basis of this case that all negated the state to reduce to take these actions what we do appreciate you taking the time speeches say dennis fund buckle thank you. and germany the parliament there is approved a $60000000000.00 plan to tackle climate change after months of negotiations that comes as a relief the chancellor angela merkel has been facing growing pressure to take

action or forms include plans to increase taxes on air travel while lowering the cost of long distance train journeys in a bid to get more commute is on board that germany is aiming to cut its greenhouse gas emissions to 55 percent of its 192030 opposition parties and environmental groups say the measure is far enough down when it came has more from ballet now on how the reforms will impact big business. the train arriving on this platform could soon be a little bit cheaper to travel on that's one of the main effects of the climate change package here in germany that's just been agreed upon by both houses of parliament so what does it mean it means that passengers on intercity expresses well they'll soon be paying a little bit less but the payoff is that people flying air passengers might soon find their tickets slightly more expensive and overall this is part of the german government's attempt to as it were to reduce its carbon emissions to 55 percent of

the 1990 levels it's going to cost almost $60000000000.00 for germany to bring this through the government had hoped it would go through sooner but there have been a bit of a problem because the green party the environmentally friendly party had opposed some of the proposals the government had agreed upon but they decided they did not want to be seen to be getting in the way of a policy which is meant to speed up slowing down climate change and so that's why train journeys such as these will soon get to be a little bit cheaper the other thing here though is that the cost of this well it may well be borne by big business because polluting business enterprises which contribute c o 2 to the atmosphere will find themselves being fined and the green. he wanted the followings imposed on businesses to be high if they appeared to be getting their way the question will be for the government or the greens or everyone in germany do

they accept the sorts of package that this is does it go far enough. for now at least it means passengers on trains such as these well that journeys will soon be a little bit cheaper. and. the richardson of the club world cup. rich and successful histories are aiming to win this title for the very 1st.

scattered across the globe but the license for the olympics has been applied for by the world sports federation which usually organizes ballroom dancing. this is always been a culture not a sports meeting as a ruling body as such but with the boring dancing federation taking its until impacts many breaking it could be forgetting its roots but then just part of it is if we remove what the dance is really about. what this down for you represents what is. from people in ghettos arrive from people that come from impoverished backgrounds we have to keep that part of alive and i don't think you could be that successful about really earning the respect of the community or of course for the people that really live in. the culture is also being lived in countries like new and cameroon these are some of the places in
