climate change is looking like are we here where we are looking of course at models that try to estimate how climate change is going to proceed under different scenarios of. you know it's gas emissions and what we indeed find that there is a tendency towards wall means that it has a particular focus in the in the northern part so scandinavia is also one of the hot points there. and in addition to that there is a tendency to have a change in the way for conditions so what we have investigated ourselves in our institute is what the model say about the heavy rainfall and they in scandinavia indeed are projected to increase quite drastically is there anything that we can do to prevent these drastic changes well. because there is all these programs to

reduce to mitigate climate change but i think that will be not be enough so measures taken to adept and to a properly certainly something that we need to do are they manmade then i mean you see often politicians over in the u.s. who are very very adamant that this climate change is not modern age and it is absolutely i mean there they don't deny that what you think well what we see is a slow progress in the mean towards more extreme conditions but there is not just this slow increase going along with we house gases but there is also the decadal changes the climate is not constant but it is valuable and. we are trying to assess that and trying to make predictions and so it could appears likely

that the warming for example that we see in the long term is already starting on a short term could mean that in the next few decades it might go down again. they could thank you very much for joining us here in studio and breaking it down for us . now to some of the other stories making news around the world the european union has temporarily suspended its naval operation in the mediterranean sea. refuses to accept migrants rescued by its vessels operation sofia it was launched in twenty fifteen to tackle migrants smokers pose it has increasingly found itself rescuing people i think the e.u. is now reviewing the mission. singapore's health system has been hit by the biggest breach of personal data in the country's history authorities say that the hijackers stole the health records of one point five million patients including singapore's prime minister the identity and most of the attackers are still on here.

all looks so hopeful for team germany when they were at their training camp in preparation for the world cup they were on top of the world and had no idea they would quickly come crashing down former german international striker and byron unique chairman carl hinds who many get had this to say about the d.f.t. . right now it seems to me that they don't have a clear cut professional way of dealing with crises and i'm not at all surprised because it's full of amateurs and i'm not at all convinced that at the end of the day the right solutions will be found with these people who are running things just like. the ball is now in the d.s.p. scored should they choose to play one thing is certain germany can't afford another tournament disaster because then no one will be safe for. joining me to discuss this wave of criticism head saying the german football association is my colleague chris harrington from the fourth crash why did roman inca say something like that

it is quite surprising as well that he came out with such harsh criticism well you know typically with things go wrong you have to blame someone ok basically germany they crashed out of the world cup confirming this crazy curse that has been infecting european clubs i mean it happened it only happened a spade that germany kind of confirmed that so he basically criticized the d.f.t. the german football association brass basically calling them amateurs but he specified the handling of them is it ok good to watch situation these are german players that have turkish origins they publicly it's well aware people are are you know about the situation they took a photo with the turkish president go on that sparked outrage all across germany and other countries as well and basically the two players were booed in friendlies prior to the world cup so they had only the vesa choice was bad because specifically mesut ozil underperformed not like his normal self you. he's an

arsenal standout he underperformed and then he received criticism from within the german football association specifically all over beer hall all over beer off as a general manager he said in hindsight we should have left as it was ill off the roster completely so that's this messy the way you look at that and then he did endorse someone but before he endorsed his inside guy i like to call him you know i did say you him he believes that he can solve the issue moving forward but he did endorse as i mentioned his inside guy philip law for the law it was a mainstay mainstay as well on the national side he was quoted as saying he thinks philip is a perfect match for the d.s.p. saying it would be an interesting solution to kind of get him in there is vice president to be somewhat of the puppet master and injecting obviously more professionalism because you know we don't want to amateurs there ok so he's almost proposing going to where that plan had some interesting chris's and as well of his

own what was he thinking well you know he decided to go i guess the modern route and he just published an open letter you know the open letter just basically said you know if you won the world cup one way you can't win it the same way the second time he was quoted saying you know i'm convinced that you're him lobel have to change his leadership style of recent years if you want to succeed again with the new generation that's the big question right the new generation different mindsets of national players and he continued to say this is not a sign of weakness but of further development he must make it clear to individual lists suggesting people have egos you know big shocker there first of all going you know basically they you know just to convince the players that they need to put team first but you he will have got wind of that open letter and he did respond saying hey you know we have always done things outstandingly in our own way which has always led to many successes for that reason i'm not very pleased with the.

advice you know just to add to that really quickly if he were to leave you love today he'd retire as the most successful coach the german football association is saying king live put la back in his box thank you so much for coming in and breaking it all down for us catherine ten. and you're watching new stay with us. sunday to. his works god is for to know. the money should be. gone twenty. five in forty cases to be taken seriously in the world of war here's what's coming up. on this top.
