this is deja vu news live from berlin us scorching summer in areas around the world high temperatures and drought are affecting regions across the globe we have to climatologists what's behind the hot weather also coming up. discord at the united nations agency for palestinian refugees it's having to drastically cut cost after president trump slashed america's aid for palestinians. and heroes to some criminals to others pussy riot talked exclusively to you about the recent world cup

protests and their latest into jail. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show japan is in the grip of a heat wave that has set new temperature records greece recently experienced devastating wildfires that killed dozens of people now these events have left many asking what's causing this extreme hot weather in a moment i'll talk to a climatologist first we have this report on the high temperatures that some experts fear could make parts of the earth uninhabitable. central europe from space too hot and too dry this is commander of the international space station alexander guest just had a chance to take my first photos of dried out central europe in germany since a few weeks and was shocked or should have been green is now all brown never seen it like this before. farmers across the continent are worried about crops the

french version mountains a simply too dry about half of this farm is corn crop has already died. and rivers are also drawing up this is in brandenburg in northern germany shocking scenes like this are likely to become the new normal according to an international research teams latest study the name for this new normal hothouse earth i said what house earth is when the earth when the climate is much warmer than it is today three to four degrees warmer than it already is four to five degrees warmer than in the pre-industrial climate yankee. climate targets him to limit the earth's warming to two degrees celsius but scientists now think that that is even too high setting in motion processes that have both more extreme and irreversible such as glacial melting once they're gone the sun's heat stops getting reflected and starts getting absorbed speeding up global warming the potsdam institute which specializes in

climate research argues that without putting in place pacific human made climate protections the seas could rise by up to sixty metres. and that's you know this is something long term but of course in the next few decades and by the end of the century these are will have significantly negative impact on cities which are often on the coastlines on. climate scientists say we need to address clean cut industrial greenhouse gas emissions travelling less by plane or by car and eating less meat as well. in the short term however both humans and animals are finding more immediate ways to cool down. and in the united states these record temperatures are fueling the worst wildfire in california history the mendocino complex fire has now killed at least eleven people scorched narry of the size of los angeles some ten thousand firefighters are battling the blaze in the northern

part of the state now the flames have destroyed hundreds of homes since igniting just two weeks ago the mendocino fire is one of over eight team fires raging across the state of california. so are we entering the era of hot house earth to talk about that now i'm joined by clarifies and she's a researcher from climate analytics an organization that supports what they call science based on a policy to prevent dangerous climate change welcome to the show it has been a savage summer here in europe elsewhere as well australia the united states what's behind this extreme heat wave well if you need to persuading that climate change is going to get this over to already and sure thing and joining us all then i think this heat wave provides an excellent example as you said it's had across the great globe in particular of the northern hemisphere we've seen high temperatures in forest fires in greece and portugal and it's not just the high

temperatures that are an issue it's also a lack of rain so germany have seen betty percent less main than it would have done in the same month last century so it's really a double whammy for people on the farm and now it's not rocket science that such high temperatures are linked to climate change or woman climate will lead to higher temperatures there's also an impact from climate change on atmospheric circulation so in the northern hemisphere the jet stream is influenced by the temperature gradient across the world and changes in this jet streams activity can lead to prolonged climate events such as this heat wave and and drought. team is an excellent example of that ok you mention this double whammy i think there's a good way to do describe it and our report cited earlier this international study that a hot house period is upon us if you see us headed into are we headed into a protracted period of drought and extreme temperatures so we're not yet in this hot house harriet we still have time to prevent that and really what this study is

doing it's a call to arms to say let's keep to the paris agreement temperature limit of one point five degrees which keeps us out of the risk of shifting into a hot house type climate as it stands the policies that we put in place take us to about three and a half degrees of warming and that's also something that we do not want to get near me even if they below well below two degrees keep it to one point five ok the scientists writing about hothouse earth the trend there said quote that this trend would quote be propelled by strong bio g a physical feedbacks difficult to influence by human action does that mean we could reach a trigger point where if not enough is done and temperatures continue increasing that there's no way back. and the scientists the talking about tipping points in the climate system which are very complex parts of the climate system such as ice sheets the rain forest oceans that you lation and it's thought that if these

reached a certain if we reached a certain temperature level we could see very rapid and some sometimes irreversible changes in these systems now we're not yet at the temperature where that would happen we cannot really pinpoint a number where the risk of these events happening lies the science is not ready to do that but what the science can tell us is that if we limit temperature wise to one point five degrees we stay out of very high risk if you would as a research show briefly if you could are we going to stay within that one point five degree range or is it as dangerous as this new international study showing there are seventy ways to keep below the one point five degree limit. expense of sharing them up multiple different pathways through which he can keep our missions down we need to act rapidly bosso we need to reduce our emissions by about half in the next decade in order to keep to that one point five degree limit but yes it's possible clarifies and from climate analytics thanks so much for being with us this morning clanky well here in germany

a record drought has created tinder like conditions for a brush fire this burned several homes and injured at least thirty two people in the west of the country you know hundreds of firefighters were deployed to fight that blaze which broke out next to the key rail line between the cities of cologne and find for it quickly spread into a nearby residential neighborhood in the city of seeburg we have this report. dry undergrowth burning like tinder what began as a small fire near train tracks in the western town of the bog soon developed into a major blaze at least eight houses caught fire somewhere in the gulf by the flames emergency services evacuated an entire residential area with hundreds of residents affected dozens were injured the most embarrassed of them was suffering from shock care to what's happened and the fires in the homes and gardens many were treated for circulator e problems we also have a few people who suffered burns some of them severe they had to be brought to local

hospitals. and the cause of the fire hasn't yet been determined authorities and see blog initially assumed a spark from a passing train had ignited drive vegetation but they later said other causes were also being considered firefighters now say the blaze is under control the important high speed rail link between cologne and frankfurt is now back in service although it's still unclear when local trains will resume. now for some of the other stories making the news around the world today in peru at least ten people have died after eating contaminated food at a funeral at a remote village in the andes dozens more who fell ill had to be airlifted to hospital health officials say the six voyageurs may have consumed food polluted by pesticide archeologists in mexico have discovered human remains from the ancient mayan civilization that could be up to seven thousand years old bones were unearthed in a cave and the sounds of the country they're now on display in mexico city the maya

were one of the central america's most dominant civilizations before mysteriously abandoning their cities around nine hundred a day. well staying in the region nine guatemalan children separated from their parents at the u.s. border have been flown home and reunited with their deported pap parents there were rejected under president trump zero tolerance immigration policy now despite the dangers and uncertainty many guatemalans continue to try to reach the border in our next report we follow a guatemalan woman and her child trying to get to the u.s. with little hope of entering. miriam and karyn don't have much luggage they have little apart from their children they don't know what to expect but are well aware of all the possible perils. so much and. i'm putting her in danger in so many ways her health her life. so much could happen on the journey

. where's your she could be raped or something could happen to her in that way and. i'm risking a lot. not only my life but hers to any part of. this is the first hot meal that miriam and phyla to be eaten since they left on generous miriam decided to escape after injuring her partner's abuse for too long she spent the little money they had as they were crossing guatemala. many more. years we escaped from having them what if he'd known he would never have let us go . he'd have done everything to stop us. but it was unbearable. that the violence was having a clear impact on the little one that's when i got it and also i mean look at the scene look at them but that's why i am risking everything now that the us on buses . i saw no one else that is. said miriam

also has an eight year old son whom she left behind. she doesn't know whether she'll ever see him again. the best felt that he received. what is going. it's very difficult to make such decisions when you have no woman deserves to go through that what about. put up the obvious to everyone i have to be strong and fight for a better future for both my children. even if it hurts to walk is that why it's hard but i have to fight that ossie they are going to check. the fight for a better future is what motivates hundreds of thousands to embark on this perilous journey through central america every year they have dreams of a better life in the us a life without violence a life with work. most try to get on freight trains in mexico then they travel for

thousands of kilometers. miriam and violet to collect some money in order to buy a warm breakfast before the train arrives if they manage to get on they'll have to survive for hours without food miriam is worried that she might be separated from violet at the u.s. border like sounds of other parents and children. she thinks u.s. president donald trump is unfair. our children are very precious to us and then someone comes and says only because he has power in his country. but he's going to separate me from my daughter. and he has no right. to. finally the train arrives. this is

the area where people get on the train and train that little bit about fifteen mph one step aside it can mean the difference between leaving and dying. now miriam will hand over her daughter temporarily. miriam manages to get on the train and so. with violet. they will soon disappear from view bound for the u.s. full of fears and hopes at the same time. at the beginning of this year president. asked us funding for the united nations agency for palestinian

refugees he withheld that aid after questioning its value and after the u.s. state department said the united nations agency needed to undergo reforms that agency today supports some five million palestinian refugees our reporter tanya kramer went to a mosque controlled gaza where u.n. employees are now on strike. a sit in congress headquarters in gaza city a few employees have even started a hunger strike all of them fear for their jobs among them as psychologists who are shot she will have to work part time for the next six months and they are good to deliver senator craig throwing us out in the street and thirty eight leasehold my husband doesn't work i have full clinics and we don't have any other source of in a town or a way should apply for his job they want to get them back most of the anger is directed at the agency a hundred and thirteen people will lose their jobs with unemployment at more than

forty percent in gaza work with the agency had been highly sought after the funding crisis is starting to bite after the us lest its support for own right back in january there is a ninety million dollars shortfall in its emergency fund which supports food distribution mental health and cash for work programs we are trying the best we can to prioritize the food distribution and that means we have to borrow some money and do less of the other two programs a number of false starts roughly a thousand staff are affected by this some of them will continue full time their job some of them will have to move to part time so that we can fit into the budget the food distribution in how must control gather the crisis over the agency which provides services normally supplied by state comes amid attempts political situation a ceasefire between hamas and israel remains elusive. people here are very that the

cuts in. u.s. funding are only the beginning of a wider come pain to take the refugee issue off the agenda israel and the u.s. accused the un organization of perpetuating the refugee problem but people here say that without a little support they get this situation would be even worse. at the distribution center at the shelter refugee camp people come for their basic items with the gaza strip see it off by israel and egypt over eighty percent of the population are dependent on eight one way or another. every three months even in the picks up his family's ration of oil lentils floor and other items he's a tailor but hardly finds work is a little agency has reduced its own stuff so what will happen to people like me if i cut even slightly it will hurt. today i'm getting seven backs but if they cut it by heart the quantity will not be enough. it will never be enough the food.

like for him and his fellow two million gazans remains deeply uncertain. its structure now and the protest group pussy riot made an appearance during the world cup final there last month one that got them thrown into jail members of their group ran onto the pitch dressed as police officers interrupting the match that they're now mrs president vladimir putin was said to be watching didn't you correspondent drugs or as she met the recently released activists and sent us this exclusive report. they are heroes to some to others just criminals pussy riot and russia's most divisive group we meet in a traditional old moscow apartment. corey who in the police chief. is in on tuesday can political collective we don't have a fixed number of members of the different people come together from various.

actions you would i actually like the recent protests at the football world cup final in moscow games to highlight police violence play stopped as pussy riot activists stormed the pitch wearing police uniforms they were arrested and sentenced to fifteen days in jail the protesters were freed only a few days ago i don't you know people don't understand what we're about we have to explain it to them that's part of our job and we've seen day he's just at the now it's quite normal for people not to understand our artistic approach but they do get our political engagement. when your server joined pussy rock she lost her job as a bar manager the running the caution it does modeling and wants to be an actress p.-r. to fasten office involved with independent websites together a breath of fresh air in russian politics even if not everyone approves of. most people don't like what we do. but that doesn't make any difference to us.

and next to major. papers claim that i'm not a model. they imply that i'm a prostitute but i don't care i know what i'm doing and i'm happy with it yes no stage. that there are states at the rational pussy riot are aware of police surveillance and they don't expect fair treatment by the state controlled media i mean that but that's the attack us because they have to because pussy riot don't do what they want that's just the way it is the state media always attack opposition groups but the. person right won't let that spoil the party for them the struggle goes on. we have some sports for you now at the. european athletics championships on tuesday

all tesla t.v. along musk has sent the e-car maker stocks soaring with another very unworthy docs idea yes as you know usually does it is famous for tesla says by eleven percent before trading was halted for more than an hour late on tuesday that followed the sweet by its c.e.o. don must saying he plans to take the electric comic up private and has secured the funds to purchase it. if musk can succeed in taking tesla private it would be the largest leveraged buyout in history. musk tweeted on tuesday that he was considering taking tesla private at four hundred twenty dollars a share saying that he'd secured funding a deal at that price would represent a price tag of about seventy two billion dollars he didn't say where the funding was coming from shortly after his tweet musk published a letter to tesla employees on the company's blog where he said that going private

would be the best path forward and would allow tesla to operate at its best free from distraction and short term thinking going private would also be one way to avoid close scrutiny by the public market has feuded publicly with regulators critics short sellers and reporters some analysts believe he would prefer to have less transparency the company is still trying to overcome production challenges which have held up its new model three sedan on which tesla's profitability rests that hasn't stopped musk from announcing major projects like multibillion dollar facilities in china and europe analysts have expressed skepticism at those plans statements about taking the company private are facing similar doubts but if followed through this could be a make or break moment for the silicon valley company as competition from european automakers is poised to intensify with new electric vehicles from our d. and jag you are with more rivals to follow suit next year. this coming

friday budget alan ryanair will cancel one hundred forty six flights to destinations all over europe affecting more than twenty five thousand travelers the reason a strike by pilots from sweden belgium and ireland germany's four hundred one pilots will announce today whether they'll join their colleagues for europe wide strike on friday pilots want a higher base salary pilot salaries are not too low it's also fighting the base transfers the maximum number of flying hours promotions and annually. well for more on the story let's go to our correspondent on the business standing by at frankfurt airport ryanair has always been hard to beat on price day it seems that on the back of the pilots. yes out on the back of the pilots on the back of the cabin crew on the back of everything

basically that costs money. analysts estimated has personnel stuff cost less than half that of its direct competitors easy jet and all we had of course much much lower even then compared to move tons of the company systematically bypassed national labor laws by choosing the one job jurisdiction in the european union which was most favorable of course most favorable to the company and not to the individual workers this is a practice called regulatory arbitrage that way ryanair has managed for decades to keep the unions out it has also managed to become a company with a reputation of having a high burnout rate among staff and high fluctuation many people they're being hired but many people are leaving the company as well o'connor. run it being the cheapest option is that going to be a thing of the past. yes definitely costs are rising at ryanair because

stuff cost is going to rise due to the action of the unions see up until recently the pilots here in germany all were contractors they were not able to unionize which has been ended by the authorities here in germany which considers this illegal now about eighty percent of the pilots of ryanair have the right to form a union and go for collective bargaining. and this means that of course the costs will get higher at ryan and not only here in germany you know the fact that we have unions coming from germany belgium island and sweden get together and fight for their rights is a first as well in frankfurt thank you. but trade war between the u.s. and china is such enter a new round washington has announced further terrace of twenty five percent on sixteen billion dollars worth of chinese products they take effect in two weeks the

start of industrial products like metals chemicals and electronics trump administration already imposed tariffs on chinese imports last month's china's foreign trade has so far shrugged off the dispute exports showed surprising growth in july of more than twelve percent compared to the same period last year. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you here new research is warning about high temperatures. the new novel. might become completely uninhabitable the international scientists who conducted the research. on that's a. news from. an update coming up at all in the meantime. all.
