a unique case what's the broader picture. good morning the situation is. quite difficult for people who are forced to leave their homes. have a big number of. officially registered internally displaced people it's. about one million. on official statistics and we know from this statistics of border control services that about thirty fifty thousands of people travel across the line of contact every day ok we're talking one point six million. maria we're talking about one to one point six million people where are they right now are they all inside ukraine where where

are you cranes refugees. this number is. and this number of internally displaced people so they're leaving ukraine mainly in . the. region closer to the conflict territory of conflict but also leave a bit. to other regions including and western regions. of you for they decide to stay there or find accommodation or good jobs ok good jobs are a big issue as we heard in our report there it's difficult for refugees to find work is that going to change in the future. it's the top priority issue for people who are affected by the conflict

including the refuges of course and the situation unfortunately is not to get in. for the last three years as. a main that excess in the labor market is difficult especially. if we can see the background of many people who left as they worked in the hard industries and the other regions of ukraine apart from. done boss area with the conflict goes on is not in. this industry is not well developed so people have to make incredible efforts to adopt. mary-alice sank of the end you know rights protection thanks so much for being with us this morning. while we've been reporting of course from the united nations climate conference in the german city

of boston over the last two weeks and the main topic there is reducing carbon dioxide emissions to try to curb the rise in global temperatures in the pacific island nation of fiji has been presiding over the talks and its president says they have succeeded in hammering out the finer points of the paris agreement while the same time considering the needs of developing nations. those climate talks slowly brought to a close we met a group of young germans who have been doing their bit to protect the environment they're part of a d w initiative called kids for climate which aims to give a voice to the generation who will be most affected by global warming. our kids for climate have plenty to do jana and ana are all committed to protecting the environment and slowing the pace of climate change. eleven year old yana writer

is organizing a clothing swap party at her school it's the second time she's done it i think because it's important that we all do something to reduce the level of consumerism that we take the stand against so much new stuff being brought if you buy less because you spend more there's less need to grow so much cotton which in turn means that fewer pesticides are released into the environment environmental protection is important in less than two yana believes it will be one of the biggest issues for her generation. and many feel if there are many you can bring about real changes we need to tell the adults what to do because this is our future one day will be the adults and so we have to take action now. i read a quote by bertold breast and change the world it needs it. that really stayed with me because it's so important and it's about our future with the four corners.

fifteen year old liberty as he lives in a small town in south west germany where he's surrounded by nature. and his team set up protest rallies seeking to persuade politicians to do more to protect the environment. to the north it would be even more fun if they would actually listen to our arguments and respond but all in all of course it's fun for the team to be out there getting involved in politics. on a major photographs butterflies over the past five years this sixteen year old has recorded the bio diversity in her area sometimes she finds species that are new to the region the man twenty years ago for example there aren't any marvelous for to larry butterflies here now i see them all the time in the summer so it's clear that climate change is having an effect. on an upload her

pictures to an online database it's a place for people to document the flora and fauna in her state she's already uploaded about seven hundred entries each discovery is flagged on the map. here much of climate protection is fun because it gives me something in return that i feel like i'm joining something worthwhile with my time i really enjoy it but i feel. well our reporter chris first brigade has been covering the climate talks in bonn and he caught up with dolphin ulan of the international renewable energy agency. mr galen the price of fossil fuels has been fairly low in recent years how big a problem is that for renewable sources of energy well in the power sector we see renewables going from strength to strength so last year eight hundred sixty one gigawatts of new capacity well over half of total capacity additions so especially wind and solar p.v. are going very well but it's true there is

a challenge in the and you sector so in buildings transport and industry the bio fuels liquid biofuels are growing but not at the rate we would like to see and we need much more uptake in the heating sector and in industry and that is because fossil fuels are so cheap at the moment they play a role in that yes especially for the for the liquid biofuels low oil prices have played a role so how do you address that by innovation so we need to reduce the cost even further we need to increase the few stock potentials low cost feedstock potentials and we need to work on new markets. which sources of renewable energy are the most promising at the moment making the most headway shall we say well we've seen an amazing development in solar p.v. and that is very what you mean by solar p.v. solar that is sort of photovoltaics the panels i think most people will be familiar with and. that is that is good news because that is a technology with

a huge potential for applications worldwide. but we've also seen very significant cost reductions recently for offshore wind which opens up a huge completely new area of area of renewables that was not there before and in the last just in the last two weeks we've seen a record low prices for concentrating solar power which offers the prospect of the dispatchable solar at a very significant scale and how reliable are renewables. these days people have always said you know when there's no wind we don't have electricity from wind power how you addressing that issue well take take the german example so in the year to date thirty eight percent renewables in a generation makes last month's forty four percent renewables a new generation mix and the lights are on and there is a number of similar countries there is denmark there is europe quiet cetera so i

think that myth is dispelled and how big a contribution can renewables make to the fight against global warming the fight against climate change you know how how significant is it for us to use more renewables it is absolutely key today we are at a share of her new your balls in final energy supply of around nineteen percent that's worldwide worldwide that needs to increase to well above sixty percent two thirds of all energy needs to be from renewable sources by twenty fifty four that we need an increase of around one point two percent per year in recent years we've seen zero point two percent per year so we need a six fold increase of the effort and as i said it's especially and two sectors that need more attention power sector is going very well. from the international renewable energy agency thank you very much for talking to us thank you. well one

of the country's most threatened by climate change is of course low lying bangladesh flooding from tropical cyclones at the bangle delta has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives now aside from extreme weather water presents a clear danger with more than eighteen thousand bangladeshi children drowning each year now it is the leading cause of death for children up to the age of seventeen forty three percent of child deaths are caused by drowning and that's more than those killed by measles cholera diarrhea pneumonia all of those combined while the death rates from infectious diseases have fallen steadily the numbers of children drowning remain high a british charity aims to change that by teaching children to swim. my gate that they come treasures her till she is close like nothing else one month ago six year

old drowned near their village. she was such a good job she always helped me with things everyone loved to. really wanted to get an education. her older sister also misses her every day at santa has become her mother's biggest consummation. which is everything together we walked to school played together afterwards and ate together. welcher is all around in bangladesh one fifth of the country is just a maze here above sea level but many here cannot swim on the statistics are shocking fifty children drown every day in the say east asian country. these

children have learned to swim and now have a lot of fun just a stone's throw from home most villages are situations on pools like these ones they used to do laundry as a bathing area and a playground. i learned to swim last month it's fantastic in the water so nice and cool. and before i could swim i was afraid of the water now it's just so much fun that you're going to get something every week. the children who come swim can only watch from the bank they need to be careful it's very easy to slip in the mud and fall and. a four year old rob you will says he cannot swim a lot but definitely wants to learn. farzana has set off for the next village with her mother today their swimming

lessons being offered their parts on a knows how to swim but now she wants to become a swimming teacher so she's helping the instructor. learning how to swim it's really important for us kids because many die as my sister did. because they can't swim. so master tasman schumi is given the lessons it's unusual for a woman to do this in the mostly muslim country. her training is financed by a british organisation which has helped to set up more than one hundred courses in bangladesh and i read them a bit about the money. i'm in twelfth grade. two trade and drowned in my village a year ago. afterwards i wanted to become a swimming instructor. and i'm very happy about it.

finally after practicing on dry land it's time to hit the water here in bangladesh women swim fully clothed a special bamboo practice area has been constructed for beginners there's a floor so that no one slips under the water farzana mother is still understandably nervous together with the teacher for santa tries to help the children overcome their fear of the water. but she's still young and quite shy but she'll soon get better at it. if she is determined she'll be a good instructor perhaps even better than me. they practice swimming two hours every day then they head home to help with the tourists almost all of them can swim after five days according to the aid organization rep that organizes these courses . children often die of diarrhea color malaria

meningitis and other diseases in bangladesh but eighteen thousand children also died by drowning and we have to do something about it. darkness is slowly falling apart santa and her family are eating dinner they're missing their second daughter. all children should learn how to swim the good and drown like my youngest daughter it's so important. before she goes to sleep for a son a hostage finish her homework the tragic loss of her sister means above all she wants to help others stay safe. now to a restaurant that says it wants to address the divide between rich and poor in spain named after the medieval english folk hero the robin hood restaurant only charges customers who can afford it lets the poor it for free as part of

a catholic outreach program that's struck a cord with diners. this is not a cigarette machine but a way to help others. when you put money in your giving someone a free shower loaf of bread or a coffee. this is the robin hood restaurant where the rich pay for the poor. but outside it looks like any other eating place in the historic center of madrid but the days profits go on providing free meals for people in need the proprietors father and hill a catholic priest who's made his mission to fight poverty and hunger you're watching the temptations of community friendship and dignity are the most important things here. you know. dignity that might seem a distant dream to someone living on the street there are several thousand homeless

people in madrid the modest upturn in the spanish economy hasn't reached them yet but they can get help in what's become known as the church of the poor. here in st anthony's anyone who needs it can be fed down get a meal or of course celebrate mass. the church is always open after years of work father and health found an advocate in pope francis. sure we made mention. of the first thing i heard him say was i want to transfer is there to help the poor or. overseas one for the. tensioner louis vin center gets food vouchers in the robin hood in return for his meals he's happy to make an extra effort and goes on

as he will without any of my ten years i didn't wear a suit and tie but. then my daughter said to me dad you should be like a king in the restaurant example of what you mean a king i said you know she made me dress properly so that i would get some respect . and out of mr banks going farther on hell with it all but as for the postal service. you know people who. lose spin center lost his job then his marriage collapsed he lives on the streets and doesn't want us to see that part of his life but he does invite us to the restaurants. they're still cooking lunch. diners pay eleven euro's the profits will provide food for others as always louis when center has dressed up for the occasion. everyone is equal in the eyes of good

father and hell takes this literally. lewiston center is not so different from those who pay for his meal. for some more than nothing at all to the theater owners that is so often we cross the street to avoid the homeless is that it's a problem the politicians can't solve it your money and it's about human rights of course doesn't matter where the people of money oh no you know they need to keep their dignity because there's the me just. people also come here to serve the poor. the mosque and i think if you so much more than you give them and that's the way i see it and they're so grateful we may be fine you can omit us but any of us can ease our way at any time we could easily be in their position tomorrow. but at the l.a. must all get out. just before eight the tables are laden side the

guest stuck to a ride every place is assigned. for some it's a way back into work. and into society today there's good news for lewis the city has found him a room not just a hot meal but a proper place to live. let's get your reminder now of the top stories we're following for you at this hour germany's potential coalition partners have missed the deadline for agreement that despite all my talks here in berlin they'll resume negotiations around lunchtime as all macros conservatives try to form a new government with very different possible parts. zimbabwe's president robert mugabe is reportedly refusing to step down that's after emerged he met with army leaders and a south african delegation as involved way seeks a way out of its political crisis. don't forget you can always get date of your

mackenzie it gets as if to say i said. this is deja vu news live from berlin and all nighter in the german capital and the country is still no closer to a new government chasseur all the backhoes conservatives holding talks into the early hours with possible partners talks are set to resume about noon time we go to our correspondent for the very latest also coming on. the latest photos of robert mugabe it is the first time he's been seen since the generals to cower in zimbabwe

now the army says it has arrested some of his allies. and safeguarding the planet for the next generation as the u.n. climate talks in vaughan go down to the wire these youngsters are saying more needs to be done to protect them from the effects of global warming. i'm bryan thomas a warm welcome to the show ken germany put together a new government talks between online ackles conservatives the free democrats and the greens to do so going on into the early hours of this morning but disagreements over key policies saw them miss a key deadline to thrash out a deal now if they do not come up with one germany will be facing new elections.

long night time faces gemini's tense now i'm going to manco needs the parties in the coalition negotiations to strike a deal. but her christian democrats existe party the c.s.u. the greens and the free democrats found to agree during talks that lasted into the early hours of friday morning. certainly we still have some differing opinions especially about immigration and financial policy. we've decided to use the next few days to overcome these remaining differences. and we do believe that they can be overcome. merkel had said thursday night as the deadline for agreeing on the coalition conditions now politicians say they need to extend these deadlines and continue talks over the weekend. we still believe that it's worthwhile directing all our energy to finding a solution that's good for our country but we've also realize that it's difficult.

because negotiators have been hunting for an agreement for a month now with these coalition and tested at the federal level it seems there are more sticking points than expectant as this is nothing is agreed nothing's been decided talks will continue failure to reach agreement could result in snap elections negotiations on all fronts are expected to resume on friday afternoon. looking at those talks are going up in about four hours let's bring in our political correspondent for more report what issues need to be resolved today for these talks to move forward. well one of the main sticking points as we've already heard in the report of course is the migration issue and the biggest problem and the biggest obstacle here is that all parties. very different views on the whole the idea especially the idea of for if the refugees should be allowed to have

a family reunion the left center party greens for instance say that family reunion is a human right for refugees and that all refugees should have the right for a family reunion while the very conservative party see as you say we don't want to have any more refugees in the country and family reunion of course would contradict this goal of theses you so the problem is there's no really that is no way for for compromise here ok family reunion ing of course i potentially hundreds of thousands of syrians would be coming over to join refugees currently in the country just make that clear for viewers now if these talks break down that means germany is headed for new elections are voters ready for that. absolutely no germans are not really used to be called back to the polls after such a short time after the elections where we had to have to have in mind that the last elections only were in in september and all four parties also know that that the

outcome of such and such a snap election wouldn't really change a thing. if we look at. the possible outcome probably wouldn't. wouldn't see any of these four parties benefit of such a snap election and the only party likely to benefit from it would be the far right populist party the a of d. the alternative for germany so all four parties know that they are doomed to find an agreement and they know it ok you know it's very unusual for germany to be facing these type of lengthy coalition negotiations what does this all mean for chancellor angela merkel. well. here is the problem that she only is acting chancellor in the way she is she the only power she right now has is that her government and her position as chancellor right now is the one of an

acting month she hasn't been elected by german parliament by the new german parliament as new german chancellor so she doesn't have the power to make any long term decisions we could have we we were able to see this at the climate conference in boston this week where she was actually holding a speech of course climate issues and everybody was expecting the so-called climate chancellor to make some sort of announcement on how and germany is going to meet its climate protection goals in two thousand and twenty and here comes. couldn't deliver just because the coalition talks were and over yet because the climate protection done in energy issues it's also one of the big obstacles in these talks so in the end one must say the whole this or this hanging on this this whole. this whole part here we can see a position ok ripper devolved following these key talks for us today here in berlin

thanks very much you're welcome now to some of the other stories making the news today around the world a former head of the syrian mafia toto really has died at the age of eighty seven he was in and italian a prison hospital where had been serving twenty six consecutive life sentences reno was one of the most feared gods of the cosa nostra crime family in the seventy's and eighty's he sought to have ordered more than one hundred fifty murders. the trump administration says it will allow the importing of elephant body parts from zimbabwe and zambia that reverses a banned by former president barack obama conservationists your this new ruling will now lead to more elephant deaths. well in zimbabwe right now where the army has confirmed it has arrested some of president mugabe's allies the move comes after army chiefs met with mugabe and reportedly urged him to stand

down with gobby refused and now sources within his own party zanu p.f. say they will need to draft a resolution dismissing him as leader for now though mugabe remains in office but under house arrest. these images show robert mugabe meeting zimbabwe's army chief and two south african envoys brought into mediate at his official residence in herat it reports claimed the long term president is refusing to step down but mugabe is under pressure to resign zimbabwe's opposition leader morgan chang get ice at the president in power since one nine hundred eighty should go quietly in the interest of the country and elections should be called. transitional mechanism. and the reports that since the nature and conduct of that mechanism be agreed up

old by old nationalistic would. that they be what he is the reforms who are free and a fair and credible election to be heard. rumors have been flying about whether mugabe's wife grace is with him or whether she managed to flee the country before the military action on wednesday. grace's ambitions to succeed her husband are said to be behind the current turmoil last week mugabe sacked his vice president the army potentially saw this as paving the way for grace to take over the military's actions though have put a stop to her hopes for now the second vice president emerson or non-god why is tipped to head a transitional government backed by the military an option the african union said it wouldn't support it remains to be seen whether robert mugabe can hold on to his tight grip on power. can he let's bring in correspondent privilege muslim

harry who joins us from zimbabwe's capital harare privilege will robert mugabe step down. according to what we are hearing. information that is your future earning are being saved that is agreed to in do you have to step down. of course with conditions. you know once the security in free passage for your family. the army has released a statement where they're saying they've made significant progress not arresting people or that they were saying criminals that are around you but they have not given any names and they are saying that they are in gauging him for their way forward or for the future so i we want to ask you that this in gage meant he's been negotiations that are going on for prison robot and got it to exit the

stage but the other thing is the also statements i think are routers have just released his short story that they're with sating some sunapee of sources to say that they are meeting. today if not to morrow for them to come up with the solution to ask the president got it to stand out if you doesn't planning to. ok now if robert mugabe after forty years in power does step down what comes next. it's a new era of course fifty seven years with one president and it is not a joke if you look at how the country is going so far. things i don't know these need it for reenergizing or the c.

students in the country so the next leader i think will come it will i just hope for you if you speak to people they're just saying they don't mind comes after mugabe or they need they want prism got to leave or face ok correspond privilege muslim hearing joining us from harare following the latest developments there thanks very much this is the news live from berlin coming up on the show a star striker suspended for mysterious reasons as the bundesliga returns without america balmy on we ask what's going on aparicio dortmund. well as climate talks draw to a close in bonn we met a group of young germans who have been doing their part to protect the environment they're part of a v.w. initiative called kids for climate which aims to give a voice to the generation who will be most affected by global warming.

our kids for climate have plenty to do jana and ana are all committed to protecting the environment and slowing the pace of climate change. eleven year old john a writer is organizing a clothing swap party at her school it's the second time she's done it. because it's important that we all do something to reduce the level of consumerism that we take the stand against so much new stuff being brought if you buy less because you spend more there's less need to grow so much cotton which in turn means that fewer pesticides are released into the environment environmental protection is important in less than two yana believes it will be one of the biggest issues for her generation. and i mean if there are many you can bring about real changes we need to tell the adults what to do because this is our future one day will be the adults

and so we have to take action now. i read a quote by bertold blessed and changed the world it needs it. that really stayed with me because it's so important and it's about our future with a throw can get fifteen year old new to se lives in a small town in south west germany where he's surrounded by nature. and his team set up protest rallies seeking to persuade politicians to do more to protect the environment. to the north it would be even more fun if they would actually listen to our arguments and respond but all in all of course it's fun for the team to be out there getting involved in politics. on a major photographs butterflies over the past five years this sixteen year old has recorded the bio diversity in her area sometimes she finds species that are new to

the region them on twenty years ago for example there aren't any marvelous for to larry butterflies here now i see them all the time in the summer so it's clear that climate change is having an effect. on an upload her pictures to an online database it's a place for people to document the flora and fauna in her state she's already uploaded about seven hundred entries each discovery is flagged on the map. climate protection is fun because it gives me something in return that i feel like i'm doing something worthwhile with my time i really enjoy it. while journalists from around the world are of course covering closely those u.n. climate talks in bonn among them is a group from pacific island nations who are taking part in a d w project financed by the german foreign ministry one of them is leaving a moment oh we'll talk to her in

a bit first let's hear what she said before setting off for the talks. i'm excited about this opportunity because for me it's the opportunity to tell stories that matter to me it's about communicating with other journalists from around the world and climate activists as well who are there and i'd like to be able to learn from them and also teach them that even though we all do different things to our planet at different parts of the world the impact to our communities is not equal here in the pacific the impact of action taken elsewhere is a matter of critical survival for us it's a matter of whether we can continue to live a specific role in this intend them with nature or whether we have to move away from our homes and begin a new one let's go now live to bonn and leave a moment on who's been covering the talks you just heard from there levy thanks for joining us good morning to you we heard you say there that inaction on taken elsewhere is a matter of survival for for fiji can you tell us more about how climate change is

a fact to you back home. good morning and first let me just say which is the way we greet people in fiji thank you when i say that the impact is different for all of us i mean that here the impact of climate change might be. the seasons of each of the cold and the warm but in fiji it means whether we can continue to live in our land last night i had an interesting conversation with somebody from the german federal office and i was talking to him about cemeteries of our ancestors being washed away and he found that very shocking so for us that's an every day occurrence we have whole villages that are being washed away we have villages that have had to relocate we can't plant the kind of crops that we used to because the saltwater is intruding into our farmland so for us it really is a matter of survival a lot of our communities especially those who live around the coast and in fiji

most of us do that ok is there are some serious threats that i certainly didn't know about thanks for filling us in on that now we did hear some optimism from fiji president he said that the needs of developing nations are taken into account at this conference do you think is optimism is justified. i think so i think just being here just making the pacific visible just making fijian communities visible just bringing to you know the middle of the year paean center what specific impacts of climate change is already caused to be optimistic about because i think that i've seen in the two weeks that we've been here with this program that there are a lot of us in different parts of the world that don't have a very authentic realisation of what's going on elsewhere so just being able to tell our story is just being able to let our european friends know that look this is what it means to use as much coal as you do on this side of the world is i think

already very powerful and last night we saw the launch of the oceans pathway. but in a ship i think that in itself is a cause to be optimistic for a future where everyone can come to the table ok what about people back home in fiji do they believe that the paris agreement and the details being worked out in bonn will some of the problems that you've told us and. yes you know at home there is a lot of skepticism about what really can happen on a global stage but at the same time the more that we learn about the impact of the bears agreement when it becomes fully operational means that we can start to really have substantial help in the work that we're doing to mitigate in to adapt to the impacts of climate change i believe that the climate financing aspect of the paris agreement will mean that all of the exciting and innovative work that is happening back home and that we're learning from here in europe could get some real backing

and get some real funding i believe also that the pair's agreement gives us the first real clear global effort to push back on climate change and so generally there is some optimism but you know when you live in a country or in a region where climate change is not a thing but an everyday way of life you can be a little skeptical journalists from you thank you very much levy for bringing us up to date on all those developments in egypt thanks very much. or to helena with news about a vehicles i could drive business and help the fight against climate change that's right brian you know allies have been all born trying to iron out the nitty gritty of the paris agreement but all eyes have been on california as well the design studio of tesla because they're the electric car maker has unveiled its latest vehicle you can see it behind me that electric truck but of course you will

probably remember that the company's been rattled by sliding products and missed production targets lately but it's not stopping the company from planning those future products tesla unveiling that prototype electric big rig truck c.e.o. eagle musk saying that the heavy duty vaiko can go up to eight hundred kilometers at highway speed before needing a recharge and i didn't say how much the truck would cost but production is set to begin at twenty nineteen moss has described electric trucks as testers next effort to move the economy away from fossil fuels the company also presented a new two hundred thousand dollars sports car claiming it would be the fastest production car ever. well a controversial keystone pipeline has leaked spilling over eight hundred thousand meters of oil on farmland in south dakota keystone carries oil from the tar sand fields in alberta in canada to refineries in the united states the pipeline zona

trans canada has tweeted an aerial photo of the affected area showing a blackened field the spill comes as regulators decide whether to give the go ahead to a second pipeline route known as keystone x.l. that project's been at the center of a political debate for years locals have protested motivated by fear of potential leaks contaminating the regional water supply the project was stopped in twenty sixteen by then president barack obama but has been restarted on the trump administration. well job cuts at german engineering giant siemens had been rumored for weeks now they have been confirmed thousands of positions around the wall is set to go most of them in the company's fossil fuel division and at least two plants will be closed unions of course sizing the move pointing to the group's flourishing annual results the board says the cuts are a way of securing the future for the remaining employees the wide ranging cuts siemens workers of long feared and bitter reality despite billions of euros profits

the industrial giant is cutting thousands of jobs and closing plants around the world a total of six thousand nine hundred jobs will be lost. three thousand three hundred will go in germany. two plants in eastern germany will be shut down completely others around the country hang in the balance. long that's been in this company a long time and never seen anything like this four plant closures one likely to be sold off and so many people affected it's a real body blow off this is. the power and gas division is worst hit struggling to cope with the upsurge in renewable energy demand for gas turbines has tumbled drastically depressing prices and profits with production no longer economically viable siemens says it will try to avoid forced returned and seize as far as possible it wants to transfer affected workers to other vacancies within the company nonetheless the engineering workers union i-g.
