they will soon disappear from view bound for the us full of fears and hopes at the same time. a record heatwave is stripping parts of is year including china and japan why fires are raging in portugal spain and the united states and the drought in australia and other countries as well so what's behind the heat waves in a moment i'll talk to a climate policy analyst first fist report on the high temperatures and fear as the earth's ecosystems could be irreversibly disrupted. central europe from space to hot and 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 brown never seen it
2:07 pm
like this before. farmers across the continent are worried about crops the french version mountains is simply too dry about half of this farm is corn crop has already died. 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 team's latest study the name for this new normal hothouse earth i said how sorry things will be 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. climate targets and to limit the earth swimming to two degree celsius but scientists now think that that is even too high setting in motion processes that are both more extreme and irreversible such as glacial melting once they're gone the sun's heat stops getting reflected and starts getting
2:08 pm
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 meters. 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 impacts on cities which are also down the coastline on. climate scientists say we need to address glee cut industrial greenhouse gas emissions traveling 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 the u.s. temperatures a fueling the worst wildfire in california is history the mendocino complex fire has now killed eleven people and burned an area the size of los angeles over ten
2:09 pm
thousand firefighters now back in the blaze in the northern part of the state the flames have destroyed hundreds of homes since starting over two weeks ago it's one of the finest reaching across california. so i'll be entering the eve of hothouse earth. climate policy analysts from the environment and development and geo german watch is with me welcome to you now we see a heatwave not to see in europe but many other parts of the world also facing very hot temperatures what explains this well as you're saying this is something we're really seeing across the globe in our research shows that it's mainly the poorest countries that are had the hardest but right now we're also seeing it across the entire northern hemisphere pretty much what is happening is that we have a very stable warm weather condition right now it doesn't change much it heats up more and what is little rain and that is because the jet stream is very weak right now that's the circulation in the atmosphere that usually brings cold wind from the polar regions or to other parts of the world such as europe and that has almost
2:10 pm
stopped and that is actually linked to manmade climate change ok but in this report we had scientists talk about the art of heading towards a hothouse spirit we're not there yet but i'll be heading in that direction yeah indeed we are not there yet what the scientists are talking about is really a whole different level still of catastrophic impacts with droughts with the entire cities underwater as we heard in the story most of the world's megacities are on the coast so if you have ten and over several centuries sixty meters of sea even have a rise that's a completely different level of catastrophic but what we are seeing is a sign of things to come the hot weather like we are experiencing across the globe right now is becoming worse and is becoming more frequent and that's because of climate change one of the things the scientists wrote in this new report that the hothouse earth trend would be propelled by strong bio geophysical feedback difficult to influence by human actions what does that mean that these trends will
2:11 pm
continue despite attempts to me we can still address this there is still a chance to avoid these kinds of feedback loops and tipping points the report talks about what the. it says is. there are certain things that can happen and once they happen they reinforce them so once we trigger this these tipping points these feedbacks global warming will just continue even if we don't emit anymore if the third permafrost thaws in siberia permanently frozen soil methane is released and the triggers mobile warming there's more thawing of the soil and he keeps going and that's what we have to avoid the report says the tipping point for that is probably somewhere between one and two degrees of global warming so if we can limit to well below two degrees to one point five degrees as we said in paris in the paris agreement we can still avoid this catastrophic scenario this is a find is making a very compelling case. on current on the perils of climate change what more needs
2:12 pm
to be done you mention a few things must be already doing that what more needs to be done to avoid catastrophic levels of global warming don't one thing we have to do is we have to stop burning fossil fuels coal oil and gas are destroying climate stability and putting us at an acceptable risk so producing power from coal is something we have to phase out as quickly as possible but we also have to think about the transportation sector about agriculture all of that has to be transformed to ways of doing things that emit less greenhouse gases right policy analysts from german watch in berlin thank you very much for that all this meant there's something to look at some other stories making news around the world. jenny it struck a deal with spain to take back refugees and migrants who had been first registered my spanish authorities migrants picked up at the german border who had first been documented in spain will be sent back within forty eight hours and german interior ministry spokeswoman said madrid has not asked for anything in return.

she is europe's best. claudine has medals in her sights she's already thrown her personal best this year sixty five point one five meters and now she heads into the qualifying round of the european championships in berlin ranked second this is her moment. but i was in the stands at the two thousand and nine world championships in berlin as a fan now i can hardly wait to experience it all down on the field as an athlete and it. beats it was born in one thousand nine hundred ninety six in frankfurt oda near the polish border her parents fled there from angola and spent many years in a home for asylum seekers they weren't easy times for the family but sports helped claudine to find her way in life and overcome plenty of obstacles including racial discrimination. doesn't matter what skin color you have long as you

2:21 pm
stressed that he will not be guaranteed a professional contract at the club. yeah joins me now on controversial tests that even on musk ascent the economic us stocks soaring with another unconventional idea again yes that's right a recent test shares surged by eleven percent before trading was hold it for more than an hour late on tuesday it followed a tweet by the c.e.o. ilan mosque saying he plans to take the electric comic a 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
2:22 pm
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 musk 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 a multibillion dollar facilities in china and europe analysts have expressed skepticism at those plans must 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
2:23 pm
automakers is poised to intensify with new electric vehicles from our d. and jag you are with more rivals to follow suit next year. for more on tesla as mercury olds see no i'm not joined by mag colleague lost last in a must made his announcement the way any self respecting attention seeker would do it today by twitter is that even legal as an interesting question twitter wasn't around a couple of years ago and also some people are running a country like twitter and he's apparently running his company twitter it seems to be legal i want to read you something here from the rules of fair disclosure that there were rules that regulate the whole announcements that companies are bound to and it states that companies are. quire to distribute material information in a matter reasonably designed to get that information out to the general public broadly and not exclusively in those two words of course are the most significant because twitter obviously does that broadly not exclusively you might be an analyst
2:24 pm
and investor you can sign up to that twitter feet and you know all you need to know so it's legal but is it clever it's probably not the smartest thing to do and it depends on who you are and with pacifically iran musk i don't think it's the smartest thing because he does tweet a lot sometimes it's serious stuff and sometimes it's outrageous we're starting to distinguish though is it is that is exactly why i don't think that smart april first this year was a profile stay of course and he tweeted that test i just went into bankruptcy now that of course is not a funny joke if you have a lot of your money in maybe test shares generally that company is worth seventy billion dollars it might not be seen as funny many if you announce bankruptcy on twitter so if you known to be goofing around like that maybe it is not smart to do major announcements like the biggest buy out in the history of of stock market list companies that are using goofing around bucks is quite serious shares went up by
2:25 pm
eleven percent that must have made it even must himself personally a lot of money of course because he owns eleven million shares and all in all he just got about one point two billion dollars richer yesterday but what i personally think is more important to him that's about the same amount of money as some other investors lost on tesla and that's those who are selling the stock short which means of course they're betting against the company now tesla a lot of short sellers he hates that of course is right to hate it but there's a lot of these short sellers because this is an extremely visionary company and a lot of people are doubters and they are saying test as never gonna work out he's never going to make any money he hasn't yet of course so they're betting against the company they want to see it go up in flames and they lost a lot of money with that. last how to thank you very much for this incise. german ryanair pilots have just voted to join their swedish belgian and irish
2:26 pm
colleagues in striking on friday ahead of the announcement ryanair already cancelled one hundred forty six flights to destinations all over europe affecting more than twenty five thousand passages those numbers are set to rise as the german pilots join the twenty four us strike to demand a higher base salary rhianna says pilot salaries on lost to low pilots also fighting the airline over base transfers the maximum number of flight hours promotions and annually. our correspondent covering the story in france for us. normally unions operate on the national level as the labor law the law for collective bargaining is organized on the national level and not on the level of the european union but now the unions are talking to each other that coordinating their strike action in order to be able to hit the management of ryanair together stronger and this concerted action is
2:27 pm
a logical reaction to what right now has been doing for decades ryanair systematically has bypassed the national labor laws trying to use the one jurisdiction in the european union which is most favorable for the management and like this has managed to keep the unions out of the company and dictate the terms of labor. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. as he'd wait scribd last regions of the world scientists say they fear rising temperatures could. disrupt the system that has climate of. the enough to stop. that's.
