and in any way they have every right to speak out the women accusing president trump say dis two thousand and five video which surfaced during last year's presidential campaign proves that trump made unwanted advances towards women i moved you know who moved on and i phone. and i did. trump has dismissed the comments in the video as quote locker room talk and so far there's been little sign that congress will open an investigation into his past behavior. comes to phenomena in washington cost and these allegations are not new is anything new likely to come of them this time when i don't think it will have any severe consequences for the president of course it doesn't look good and it might have consequences at the ballot boxes in two thousand and eighteen i mean donald trump's approval ratings are already very low compared to most other presidents before him and of course again

a lot of people might finally say ok enough is enough i won't have any of this because the republicans say well first of all many of these allegations are not true and secondly people knew about it and still they voted for trump but in a way that was in a different era if you like because this year as so many women have come forward have found the courage to report allegations or events where they experience sexual misconduct from men sometimes going back a lot a lot of years and this is different from the silence that we encountered before so this might have an impact again at the ballot box and if the republicans lose the senate or the house that will be a problem for donald trump because of phenomena in washington thank you. now there are some of the other stories making news around the world banding desha

to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital germany's dark past me that the debate here has taken on a particular significance last weekend protestors in berlin burnt israeli flags in the streets which was shocking to many germans and sharply condemned by the government despite this many in germany's jewish community are looking for a stronger response as jews around the world prepare to celebrate the first day of how to take brady has this report. just days after scenes of burning israeli flags and anticipate explosions in the german capital a rather different event is taking place at berlin's brandenburg gate preparations are underway for lighting the menorah on the first day of hanukkah for rabbi yehuda tiësto the jewish festival of light comes as a poignant time germany should be a place where we say you were right over the darkness of these type of messages these type of demonstrations that we hear should be absolutely not probably rated

in any form or manner prompted by the u.s. decision to recognize teresa lynn as israel's capital thousands of propellants demonstrators gathered in berlin over the weekend in response to the burning of israeli flags and on to semantics chance the central council for jews in germany has called for stricter laws to prohibit anti semitic demonstrations in german parliament not everyone is in agreement i don't think laws can solve conflicts what's unfolding here on the street is in fact a very real conflict israel's actions on the ground as well as its policy on settlements exacerbate this conflict here heights not to unleash these in conflict on the often your thoughts we hope that these are one off events but at the moment that doesn't look the case and that can continue therefore we will do everything possible to prevent it being despite being supportive of citizens right to protest

germany remains particularly vigilant that legitimate anti israel protests don't spill over into anti-semitism. and support volkswagen leipsic face off in the bundesliga shortly hosts of all further are just three points a clear from occasion or logic need a victory to make up some ground on leaders byard munich. the wolves have only lost one since martin smith took over in mid september their last outing at home was a convincing three nil victory over gladbach stopping their momentum in its tracks but a league high of nine draws had their main table purgatory currently eleventh in closer to relegation than they'd like to be the head coach addressed the drawing issues in the press conference ahead of the match close to us but obviously in the nets and in the last five or six games i think we're closer to getting away from that statistic that being the king of draw us after a long time doesn't take you anywhere. so our goal is to turn that around and also

to change our mentality moving forward go. on to a button that it wasn't going to be i've despite being second on the table rb leipsic last to leave last time out against monk's the bulls were even gifted a questionable penalty in the match that ultimately ended even. five. definitely conceded more goals than last season and that could be why we don't have as many points as we did at this time last year but we just have to deal with em. this is what. if defeated good newest club on the block would extend their winless away streak to four games it wouldn't be the best way to celebrate our b.'s fiftieth but in this league fixture. this is day doubly nears a life from his own and will be here the moment with your business update taking

talking about a dark cloud of a today's one planet climate summit in paris president says the world is moving too slowly on climate change and companies need to match that. with money. so we have better facilities with fast in just a moment that the rest of the day separates disuse i'll be back with a days that will. be i myself of the day. we take it personally. with the wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all true fans. more than football. with each passing day of the continuing conflict in

syria more and more children feared their future may be fading away. with every classroom damaged or destroyed with every child witnessing the horror of war every family fleeing the violence we can't risk losing an entire generation of children to death fear and despair. because they are the future of syria. climate finance france's campaign for cash to clean up the planet you can see the pollution and almost smell it just watching this footage in some cities you can even see the other side of the road but can yet another climate conference change that. and desperate times call for desperate measures the small gets so bad in parts of china officials close down factories on mass. i'm bad for us all and let's

do business another climate conference this time it's powers four thousand delegates fifty world leaders the one planet summit and climate finance is at the forefront but disciplines one trillions of dollars invested in clean energy technology is needed the goal to keep global warming down otherwise it will remain a pipe dream. a bit of movie glamour may just help to draw attention to the issues up for debate at the one planet summit. it's two years since the paris climate agreement was signed that critics say that there have been few minutes to celebrate. and they say it's time to relax not just good intentions the summits message is fossil fuels a history. we will talk some more about that it doesn't matter that donald trump

backed out of the paris agreement because the private sector didn't drop out the public sector didn't drop the university this isn't about scientists didn't drop the genius didn't drop but no one dropped out. donald trump pulled donald trump out of the paris agreement so don't worry about any of that but some concern might be warranted despite numerous pledges of financial help from wealthier countries few funds have reached the nation's most in need of help something protesters outside the venue a keen to remind delegates of. for a french president in money went back home hope lies in the finance and science sectors at the summit he spoke to engineers scientists and entrepreneurs developing innovations to improve energy efficiency france has pledged to spend millions of euros to support the work of eighteen scientists most of them from the u.s. on condition that they work confronts in future. proofed. what

i want you to figure out is the most radical innovation fundamental research applied to research all the projects that you have pursuing the technological research that will allow us to win the battle against climate change. and he wants company heads involved two firms will need to raise the bulk of one hundred billion dollars annually from twenty to twenty for climate protection and adapting the planet to climate change exactly how my calm plans to achieve this though is not yet clear. so the new french president has a lot on his plate for reforming the eurozone and now saving the planet that's energy analyst claudia kemp furt what are his chances of getting company bosses to fold such a huge bill. why i think it's an important step because so we had a tipping point we need to invest

a whole energy transformation the energy transformation is unstoppable it's oeuvre herbal and the fossil fuel investment distended investment so it's really important to get also the banks on board to get the firms on board and to invest as much as we can in order to really to bring the energy transformation towards more renewable energy and energy efficiency on board and can the french president himself afford it i mean he's struggling to get his own economy into shape well yes france has difficulties because it's based on nuclear not economically efficient and he has to transform also his economy towards more renewable energy by the good thing is said to a new energy becomes more and more cheap and more and more countries invest into renewable energy because of this so that the demand will increase and now the the investment needs to be channeled to towards this transformation and i guess calling a climate conference will win him some points is that how it is these days any

leader who needs a popularity boost calls their own climate summit well paris agreement is paris agreement that's in france and it's a good thing to use is twenty years a year anniversary of the kyoto protocol of the whole climate agreements we had in the past twenty years and to use this and to have a climate leader and this is i think france now it's good that we have him and we have france on the front but we need other countries as well especially germany for example needs to be combined with this initiative and we need to come come from also other countries in the world and hopefully france can do that and commit as many countries he can on the climate agreement exactly that's the hard part how do you convince these countries i mean do climate conferences really get us anywhere. yes gets us somewhere because especially after the prior paris agreement because we need the action in the countries and this is why it's so important to have an

international commitment and then of course the whole work needs to be done on the bottom line in their countries and the local action is really important but to get that we need this kind of agreements energy analysts cody a comfort pleasure talking to you thank you and let's get a comment from our financial correspondent in frankfurt daniel corp the top job in firms a swimming in cash at the moment daniel are they going to spend that cash on the planet though. you're funny ben yeah they are swimming and cash at the moment absolutely we just had a comment a little bit earlier from the economy ministry here in germany stating that they're expecting at least a true portent grows although for next year which means of course lots of new cash for those companies many companies also here listed in the blue chip index that they have those kind of internal ethic agreements how much money they want to spend every year and project regarding the environment but just in

a joint statement today the biggest environmental organizations here in germany was calling this pretty much a shame and that companies could spend much more money regarding those projects well as far as green projects go the carmakers are really lagging as far as the chinese competitors go were the germans asleep at the wheel. well you know germany always wanted to be number one also when it comes to even more village t.v. but you kind of get the feeling that pretty much is also just a dream because also when you talk about infrastructure i mean the infrastructure for immobility cars here in germany is still very poor we also had a statement earlier regarding this that germany really needs to put more effort needs to put more money in order to get those evil billeted cars on the road as much as they were they want to we may just be another one of those pipe dreams that you hope for us in frankfurt thank you here's a company making

a stand one of china's largest automakers is to phase out sales of all petrol vehicles by twenty twenty five the decision by the state owned beijing automotive group comes as china debates a plan to impose a nationwide ban on petrol and diesel vehicles authorities have already announced the introduction of a quota system which will require car makers to produce a minimum number of electric vehicles from twenty nineteen countries move towards electric cars spurred foreign automakers to produce the cars for the chinese market . well in china toxic smog is at its worst in the north of the country residents are expected to die three years earlier than in the south the pollution gets even worse in winter now the government's taking drastic measures. normally trucks are lined up here to be loaded but times are normal at the wally ming construction materials plant. we've had to shut down production completely. china is

implementing drastic measures to combat winter smog forcing her to close down until the end of march next year. we find on forced vacation for ten days all we can do now is a bit of maintenance. close plant mixers powered rock without filed his grinding mills have had to stop work in the past when smog was especially bad but they've never been halted for an entire four months. we've still got some reserves from recent months it's enough for maintenance and to get us through the winter. almost all companies around here have been forced to shut down from the small plant that makes concrete pipes and cobble stones to the local cement works the region's biggest employer. the workers who come from the surrounding villages were sent home without pay. so my husband sits around blink

guards now. try to stay afloat with casual labor if someone needs their heating unit repairing things like that. i didn't know for years china put growth ahead of environment but now construction sites are idle steel production throttled shijiazhuang three hundred kilometers south of beijing has the reputation of being one of the filthiest cities in china. you know you often see blue skies and white clouds you never had that before. you know what last year i never left the house without a protective mask this year i can simply go for a walk under a blue sky. i hope there's less smog this year. wallie maine has rented out some of his compound to a trucking company he gets no state support nor do any of the workers he's had to sack. under these circumstances the best thing to do

is to resettle i'm looking for new business opportunities. there's no future in this i don't want to do it any longer. quote doesn't know what he will be doing in future. so long as it doesn't involve. and this could boost the global economies shift. the. oil and gas from twenty. it's still considered projects in the poorest of countries but only under exceptional circumstances.

the bank. account a few growing racism in. every

journey begins with the first step and every language with the first word. is in germany to learn german. why not learn a little simple online on your mobile and free themselves from d w z e learning course nikos fish german made easy. it tells us storing stories. it makes us laugh. and cry play trouble and smile. magical images and emotions that comes from. the go see every weekend on d w. meet the germans new and surprising aspects of lives and culture in germany. us american

good news a take a look at germany it is sink receives at their traditions every day lives and language because there's a lot of. young good. d.w. dot com the germans. opportunity prosperity optimism that's the power of global trade global three thousand brought to you by d.h.l. . this week three thousand we're off to the gem and capital which attracts young tourists in droves and this man shows them around me one of. mauritania's

to national park is a wildlife hotspot but it didn't used to be like this we find out about its transformation. but first we had to india to learn more about. young girls and mary chain which romance rarely plays a role. forced marriages can be nothing short of devastating for the young girls involved early marriage frequently means early motherhood and that often means dropping out of school this form of human rights abuses not limited to a few countries either it's a global issue in fact around seven hundred million women and girls alive today were married off before they were eighteen and more than a third when i was even fifteen. the world leader when it comes to child brides is india the un estimates that

nearly half of all indian women a married off before they're eighteen. this is men near a con at work in a women's center in hydrabad she tells us she's nineteen but doesn't know exactly when she was born. near was only eleven years old when her parents sold her for fifty thousand rupees the equivalent of eight hundred euros. that made. no one asked me my relatives came together and decided to marry me off to a seventy five year old man from amman they are only told me on the day of the wedding when i saw the old man all i could do was cry i tried to protest and said i'm far too young. but he's got me. india outlawed child marriage in two thousand and six but in munir is case as with many other women here the

marriage broker used falsified documents a corrupt imaan precisely did over the wedding ceremony munir was forced to go with the old man for three weeks he sexually abused her in a hotel in hyderabad. then he disappeared when the man was informed that munir was pregnant he divorced her over the phone from oman that was eight years ago until recently the muslim practice of instant divorce was legal in india the nearest ultimo she can has never seen her father. and that i have suffered a great deal whenever i think about it it still upsets me mentally i don't want to cry here in front of my daughter. can shouldn't have to ask why her mother is unhappy that would upset her too much. so we had to go. near it takes us to her parents she had no choice pregnant and still a child herself then

a single mother munira had to move back home her mother refuse to be gone tells us how much she has also suffered because of the story but she means her daughter's divorce she still doesn't see anything wrong with the marriage itself she only wanted her daughter to have a better life in the united arab emirates and says she had no idea the old man was only off to sex. with the our neighbors also married off their daughter to a shake and she got a new house and a small fortune. i was hoping for the same from an era that's why we married her off. at a. new nearest family lives in a poor muslim area many people here believe that selling their daughters off to the emirates will be their salvation. the women's rights group shaheen says that this happens in every third family here. every day desperate

girls show up at the women center not all of them are about to be sold off abroad often they come because of everyday problems. jamie lynn is shot as the founder of shaheen she doesn't accept poverty as an excuse she says the problem is that many muslim families few women as property it's not just. because it was poverty a it also but greed is one of the things and especially as the girl was married many thousands they were getting so much of extra money supposing she's married one day she may get fifty thousand sick in bed and the fifty thousand and if she's a good looking weighty she's being one when. authorities in hyderabad have recently started to crack down on the trafficking of women and girls earlier this year police arrested numerous people including indian marriage

brokers and men from the emirates seeking a child bride many of them are already married and wanted a second or third wife or just a quick thrill we meet the man who made the arrests possible haji khan himself spent years brokering a legal marriages to arab men he shows us the hotels that cooperated with him he warns us not to go that there would be trouble he tells us trafficking the women and girls is easy because until recently many indians didn't have official birth certificates or i.d.'s. the girls now say they were eleven or twelve years old but that's not true in reality there were already eighteen i think all right maybe some were only fourteen or fifteen but only a few. in any case we just forced the paperwork to show there were twenty four or twenty five of. the shakes contacted us fire middlemen they then travel to india officially for medical treatment in

a hospital then they married the girls. most of them left the girls behind. i knew the entire time that all this was illegal and i could end up in jail if the police caught me. at some point he says he started to feel guilty hodgy can went to the police and help them crack a trafficking ring. the story is confirmed by hyderabad the system commissioner of police. he led the investigation and he still can't believe how parents are willing to sell off their children many of them under age. five the law. is that award is this whole is happening ho ho the period. is. going to the school not he's not coming back a given day. we were even called to the principal no the girl is being sent to the

country where you don't even feel. many people in the slums of hyderabad are deeply religious the corrupt islamic clerics involved in trafficking child brides take advantage of their authority the indian government gives the country's muslim minority the right to issue its own marriage certificates. the islamic clerics who conduct the marriage ceremonies tell parents it's all in accordance with the qur'an munira khan has paid a bitter price for this cynicism as a divorced single mother she will have a hard time ever getting remarried. i made a comment that i want to share my story with everyone i don't want more girls to be sold off but the girls should be made aware of what's in store for them. that. most of the women at the shopping center have been traumatized here at least they're provided with safety support and care and given the chance to regain

control over their lives. around six hundred fifty million people around the world own a gun almost half of these private individuals are from the us the right to bear arms is firmly anchored in the american constitution but it remains a controversial topic in two thousand and fourteen firearms were responsible for the deaths of thirty four thousand people in the u.s. two thirds of them were suicides. who exactly decides to go out and buy a gun in surveys nearly a third of all u.s. households have admitted to owning a pistol or rifle the large majority of us gun owners are white eighty one percent and almost three quarters are men but that may be about to change.

these women are learning how to shoot. they're housewives similar mothers and pensioners they're middle class a most of them have never held a gun before. my name is mark. karr mr c. my company i've been teaching for about a year and a half now start up the military shooting right. washington's course is catered to african-american women who workshops across the country are fully booked less than one safety training with dummy guns it may look like fun but the participants take it very seriously i have never shot a gun before but with the way things are going now it's really necessary that we all learn how to protect their sales meetings and after

the incident a few weeks ago and certainly it's there or is it just occurred to me that we can't totally depend on law enforcement to protect us to be there for us. the one supremacist rally in virginia this summer confirm for many that open racism remains widespread in the us it's a factor cited by many of the women flocking to moshe washington's courses. once they're at the shooting range the first step is learning how to load a gun. the next step is sparring with live ammunition it's not as easy as marshall makes it look. we. know this participant got off to a good start after her very first go the target figure is riddled with holes. everyone gets ten shots and encouragement as well as leader.

these aren't gun enthusiasts they're women who are afraid. that's all it takes. no getting back that. that's right here in this first hour right here the loser collapse. so how do participants feel. serious only. that i fired. i'm coming to watch but it's. right. there and it's all smiles for the souvenir photo. none of the women are great shots yet but they do feel more confident. washington belongs to the national african-american. the first group of its kind to african-americans. the atlanta

branch alone has grown from five hundred to one thousand members within two years and six hundred of them are women. and the industry is happy to supply them gun stores now also stock products specially designed for women. and shopping time the pension amassed. she wants advice and a handgun to bring along to the next far on this course. but can the ever growing number of weapons really help in the fight against racism. especially minorities we can be easy targets because a lot of us don't have firearms education so i think with firearms education we call our how to legally defend ourselves and we won't be targets of hate crimes like we are now. lives in rural georgia the women attending the gun classes say that in the southern states of the us racism has never really gone away it was just less visible. they fear the trumpet ministration is empowering the wrong people and the racism is even becoming acceptable again. mass you're still

remembers the segregation era as a child she wasn't allowed to cross these train tracks because the other side was an all white community. now at the age of sixty five she feels she needs a gun the black man assesses calla escaped a large portion of their but i take it again with the culture changing we can't say that. status quo. meets up with the sisters none of them of been subjected to actual physical attacks but they feel threatened by unpleasant remarks the past has left a deep legacy of fear. you will be booking a place on the next concourse and bring some friends with. oh yes i'm taking you to my church i'm going to put. on a couple of car and women that we me often so i'm going to crusade. for these women are seeking reassurance from guns because they no longer trust the

government to protect them and their families. this week on global ideas we go to mauritania national park an undeniable paradise for birds nowhere else in west africa can you find so many different varieties of birds in such a small area the pump is located at the border between mauritania and senegal around the senegal river delta that region is highly vulnerable to climate change. hotel junia henry waxman went to find out more. year for year the sea level here has been rising as locals can see with their own eyes a growing number of them are having to leave their homes along the beach the older generation still remembers what it used to look like here. what you have the village used to be here there were even houses on this very spot before it was all

flooded there are probably remains of houses on the seabed over there. under. the village in south mauritania is bordered by a river on one side and the ocean on the other. there's very little infrastructure. but where are local supposed to move to. the dean works in the nearby de walling national park he confirms the gravity of the situation. yeah you might my spoke to an old man who told me that in the one nine hundred eighty s. the ocean was two kilometers further back. now look at the damage that the sea has done. after. the government is trying to ensure that people are

relocated to a safer area.
