will face a left wing candidate for non doha in the runoff in three weeks. has warned that voters has mourned the voters that also naro is a threat to democracy and to. me and my son were always together what had gone once he was always with me why did we get separated that. we follow one family's desperate search for their nine year old son who has been missing since the devastating earthquake and tsunami in indonesia two weeks ago. u.s. back to kurdish troops step up the battle to expel islamic state from a stronghold in eastern syria peace troops are preparing for their last fight here in syria against isis it's the wind within the next weeks it's going to be a turning point for them that's why they're preparing every day. w. is embedded with the anti i guess coalition and records from the front line.
2:02 pm
i. i. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the u.n. climate scientists have issued their strongest warning get on the rests of rising temperatures they say that we need to take unprecedented steps to avert the worst effects of climate change and that we need to take those steps now they include changing the way that we consume energy travel and construct buildings if we fail to act we will face more heat waves flooding extreme weather scenes like this could become more frequent if the world does not act now that's the message of scientists on the un's climate change panel whose job was to work out what governments must do to implement the promise of quarter twenty fifteen. first climate change is already affecting people ecosystems and livelihoods all around the world. second limited warming to one point five degrees is not
2:03 pm
impossible but will require precedent to transitions in all aspects of society third there are clear benefits to keep warming to one point five do research just compare to two degrees or higher every bit of warming matters. the goal needs to be implemented by twenty thirty but scientists fear will fail to hit it one immediate effect of failure would be more global heatwaves resulting droughts would mean poor harvests impacting the global food supply and harming countries that rely heavily on agriculture. other parts of the world would suffer from an increase in heavy rains and hurricanes these weather patterns combined with rising sea levels could lead to more frequent and severe flooding the scientists on the un's panel say it's the final call governments everyone must act the message is over to governments the stage we've told you before you the scientific facts the
2:04 pm
evidence the course it is up to the governments no to decide what to do with it. avoiding scenes like this will be hugely expensive say the scientists but it has to be done and is still possible if the world acts now. and we are joined now by. dean she is the head of the environment team here and sonia i mean warnings about rising temperatures about climate change are not uncommon but oh what is different about this report and why should we be so concerned. well it seems that this one point five degree limit is a lot more important than was originally considered so the difference between one point five and two degrees of warming is really a massive difference as this scientific report has now shown take for example coral reefs under one point five degrees they'll survive there will still be some reefs
2:05 pm
will lose seventy to ninety percent of them but there will be some there under two degrees we're looking at almost a complete decimation ninety nine percent of all the coralie reefs will be gone and that is a complete cation for people's livelihoods for food security people who live off the sea so that's just one example of how this difference actually is a lot more significant they're saying one point five is the new two degrees the report also calling for dramatic action like transforming the economy at a speed on a scale that has no documented historic precedent what does that mean. well the skill you could say is president of because if you consider how our societies have changed over the past centuries and how our energy systems have changed how our mobility has changed that has actually that scale has been seen but what would be new is the speed with which it would have to take place because basically with
2:06 pm
the massive cuts that would be required for one point five degrees we're talking forty five percent by twenty thirty so basically the next few years will be very decisive for the future of whether we can still attain this limit or not and we all know that i mean one of the issues right now is really political well right where we're seeing some opposition to the paris climate accord among some governments around the world but what can all of us do ourselves. well the most important thing is do something don't just sit there and close your eyes and imagine that this isn't happening because it is happening it will dramatically affect us and affect our future generations so take action and probably the most effective thing you can do is come together with other people and demand. of our governments that they take action that they implement the policies that need to be implemented
2:07 pm
hold our politicians accountable of course voting in the right people as well those are all things that we can do song again the head of environment team thank you. and we will have more on climate change later and the ground breaking role it has played in the research of the two american economists who have just been awarded the nobel prize for economics but first we had to brazil where far right politician joey are both an auto has won the first round of brazil's presidential election he will now face a runoff of three weeks against a left winger fernando had also not zero attracted support by promising to fight corruption and restore what he called traditional values his opponents say he poses a threat to democracy in the largest country in latin america. supporters believe he's going to turn the country around and sunday's results gave them reason to celebrate their candidate share of the vote surged past pollsters

and now to one of sport's most grueling and darren's tasks and one of the world's most inhospitable environments the added come across a chance to a close this weekend after six days of competition in the searing heat of chile as atacama desert runners from thirty six countries laced up to tackle the elements in the two hundred fifty kilometer course one hope chunk was the first malcolm headed parents cross the line in san pedro but there was the light and relief for everyone who made a. business now of christopher cover and we're talking about nobel prize winners sara this year's nobel prize for economics has been awarded to two researchers for their work on climate change and innovation u.s. economists william nordhaus and paul romer receive the award for integrating innovation and climate with economic growth the jury set alongside with the prize the two
2:22 pm
researchers will receive nine millions for swedish kronor or the equivalent of one million dollars every week. well for more i'm joined by mother to overcome on my colleague from d.w. business model to william nordhaus and paul romer of the winners tell us some more about them. from yale university often called the father of economic climate economics and he started looking into this topic as early as the one nine hundred seventy s. the true pioneer in the field and then we have paul romer who's more looking into innovation and technology and how these can foster economic growth both these names have been rumored to actually win the nobel prize for economics for a long time now they finally have been on the shortlist this year as well now the two are being rewarded for their work on climate change and innovation tell us specifically what the prize committee intended to reward here for nortel's the central question that he asked is the research is always. how can we grow our
2:23 pm
economy without destroying our planet for that he came up with a model that looks into how the economy influences the climate and we can use it still scientists use it to predict how policy changes for instance like a carbon tax would affect the climate room on the other hand it's more what keeps growth what keeps the economy growing and how can we how can we keep this growth up for him it's basically ideas innovation that are very central to to keeping up growth and he says that it's they need special conditions to grow these ideas and he's looking into how to create these conditions now the announcement of the award comes on the same day that climate researchers are calling for unprecedented steps in order to fight global warming that doesn't sound like a coincidence to me you know i mean absolutely the report that came out today it once again underlines that climate change really is one of the biggest challenges that we have facing economy is a big driver of it creates
2:24 pm
a lot of emissions so it only makes sense that the economy also looks for the answer. and i think it also just makes sense to reward people for the youngsters in the field of economics this year's winners of nobel economics prize william nor the house and paul romer receiving the award for their work on climate change innovation. from our business department thanks for breaking down the store for a. moment these calls to do more when it comes to climate change the international energy agency issued its annual report on monday and says that even though the share of green energy is growing around the world by twenty forty renewables will account for just eighteen percent of the world's well short of the agency's sustainability target renewables will be the fastest growing part of the global ethic tricity sector report says they'll provide almost a third of power demand in twenty twenty three up from about a quarter in twenty seventeen when you both currently make up more than thirty
2:25 pm
percent of germany's energy makes us almost forty percent of the country's energy needs are still met by burning coal and thirteen percent comes from atomic power stations compared to about a third from a nubile energy like wind and solar power. and other sources top up the rest of the energy mix. for less renewables are forecast to account for more than seventy percent of growth in global elektra's city generation according to the international energy agency's reports. solar photovoltaic technology followed by wind hydro power and bio energy are expected to lead the field in terms of growth but hydroelectric power remains the largest for nubile sources missing sixteen percent of global alyque tricity demand by twenty twenty three. but despite the growth in the renewable sector the i.a.e.a. warns it won't be enough to meet long term climate and sustainability goals the
