coming up. warns that the gap on climate change between where we all are and where we need to be is growing nations must triple their efforts in cutting carbon emissions if they're to hit global tar. and children the most vulnerable victims are living with hiv in russia our moscow correspondent special series takes you to an orphanage in the ural mountains region which is suffering one of the worst h.i.b. h epidemics in the world. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program. has shrugged off suggestions by european officials that it could face fresh sanctions over the crimea crisis tensions have escalated between moscow and. after russia seized three ukrainian naval vessels in

a skirmish on sunday at least a dozen sailors have been detained for trial ukraine's president has warned that its neighbor is preparing for war and has turned to berlin for help speaking on ukrainian state television president petro poroshenko said he turned to berlin after the kremlin failed to respond to his request for dialogue it wasn't. immediately that night i ordered a phone conversation with the president of russia vladimir putin. we did not receive any response and i had to turn to the german chancellor so that she could talk to putin on the immediate release of ukrainian servicemen and ukrainian ships . poroshenko also said the authorities would take all necessary steps to release the ukrainian sailors detained on sunday when russia ceased three vessels off the crimean coast captured sailors appeared in

a russian court and were charged with unlawfully entering the country carrying weapons they face up to six years in prison. earlier other sailors were shown on russian television saying they had deliberately entered russian waters as a provocation kiev denounced what it described as forced confessions moscow accuses kiev of sparking the sea skirmish to boost support ahead of an election. most probably this provocation took place in order to achieve certain political decisions which are beneficial for the current president of ukraine. if. ukraine accuses russia of illegally capturing its ships and sailors off the coast of crimea president petro poroshenko now claims moscow is preparing for an invasion together with the country's parliaments he has imposed martial law in the regions bordering russia for thirty days. fundamentally the whole martial

law is about. getting the resources together. for everybody here in ukraine to understand he's a place whence the russians come for us president poroshenko insisted the measures won't interfere with elections for march but his decree is causing concern and confusion in the capital kiev for ukrainians it's unclear what changes martial law will bring after a four year standoff with russia peace seems the distant outcome. correspondent nick connelly joins us now from the u.k. ukrainian capital kiev first of all nic there seems to be some confusion about whether martial law is actually in effect in ukraine or not is ukraine under martial law. good morning terry well we were expecting to wake up to

have all of this some clarity off to all these days of confusion and yet the guessing goes on it seems like the law needed to put this into effect has still not been signed not by the president nor by the chairman of ukraine's parliament who it seems isn't even in the country to do so so a lot of question marks there even some confusion as to whether it might have been applied retroactively by an order by the president so we're hoping to understand more today but even if it does come into effect we still don't know the actual real effects on everyday ukrainians lives how this is going to affect people what civil liberties will be affected so a lot of question marks still open ok well let's look more closely now at the crisis itself president poroshenko there in ukraine he says he's going to use all means necessary to secure the release of those captured ukrainian sailors that we saw in our report what could that mean all means necessary

i think no one's suggesting that he's really proposing some kind of military pressure on russia given how clearly clearly russia has military superiority but i think this means everything from economic to diplomatic pressure using ukraine's links to its western partners trying to bring pressure to bear on russia so those sailors now in russian custody for at least two months on charges of illegally crossing the border ukraine's position has always been and still is that the seas illegitimate on the boss of russia that ukraine has the right to pass the straits of coach and that russia has no position to decide who has access to the sea of as of now you mentioned western pressure nick poroshenko says he requested a dialogue with putin didn't get a response and has turned to berlin for help what more can you tell us about that. well quite extraordinary scenes as described by present poroshenko that call that

was rejected by the kremlin on the weekend we heard yesterday from the kremlin that they had rejected official offers a mediation from germany but it's clear that this is not going to be resolved at a bilateral level the sides just talking to each other what form that will take whether that will be some kind of more formalized set up for now that seems kremlin isn't interested but this communication is not going to happen between kiev and moscow it's going to have to involve ukraine's western partners and i think that's something that kiev is hoping for. nick briefly if you can those those ukrainian sailors that have been detained by russia and sentenced apparently already what exactly were they charged with. so that the charges they face illegally crossing the border means just by some analysts that they could have been leveled more extreme charges the skerries maxims and six years that they were potentially other things they could have been accused of having said that i think

now at the legal details it's important they have become pawns in a bigger political game if this is resolved in a hurry we might see a humanitarian solution to the problem and see their release earlier otherwise where they'll end up and when they'll come home is anyone's guess nic thank you very much for that update our correspondent nick conley there in kiev. now catching up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today an explosion outside a chemical plant in china has killed at least twenty two people the blast occurred in the city. some one hundred sixty kilometers northwest of beijing several dozen vehicles were destroyed in the blaze. tens of thousands of people turned out in support of opposition double ticket felix said kennedy and vitale on their return to the democratic republic of congo the medicare campaign to unseat longtime president joseph kabila in elections on december twenty third the

u. s. and leaders agreed to join forces at a conference in nairobi on friday. and hundreds of tunisians have greeted saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon with protests during his visit to the north african nation demonstrators called for justice for jamal khashoggi the dissident journalist was killed in saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul in october protesters also criticized the country's role in a proxy war in yemen. a new global report on climate change says the world's nations must triple their efforts to keep global warming within the target limits agreed by nearly every country the study by the u.n. environment program found it after three years of decline emissions of greenhouse gases have risen in twenty eighteen the stark warning comes ahead of a key climate change meeting in poland starting this weekend for if we are serious

about preventing climate change we need people making a lot less of this into the atmosphere. that is the message of a new u.n. report. it's authors one of a growing gap between rising emissions and the reductions needed to achieve the goals set out in the paris climate accords. emissions have to be cut by a quarter by twenty thirty to keep global warming at two degrees celsius and avoid drastic consequences says the report. and the biggest elephant in the room that we refuse to see is the risk that it poses to everything we like and appreciate in this planet or that you biodiversity as you are. sustainable finance or you know the and the health of the planet and the people but it be these are human movements

i mean users pick up anything you like everything is that risk at the u.n. summit in the polish mining town of qatar starting sunday telecasts will hammer out a plan to meet the powers accords a tough that now seems much harder than they first imagined. but joining us now for more from paris is dr paul she's head of the climate resilience program at the tate technical university of denmark the lead author of that un emissions gap report good morning to all hoff your report finds that the gap between greenhouse gas emissions and global targets to limit emissions is wider than ever what does that tell you about our efforts to combat climate change. well it does tell us that i think it's a fall from sufficient both in terms of scale but also in terms of speed so we need to accelerate actions we need to accelerate ambition. the report reveals that

greenhouse gas emissions have risen for the first time in four years what what can you say is behind that rise. what we see is that the global level c o two emissions have gone up in twenty seventeen whereas they were pretty stable in the period from twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen and the key to imus and that is these there's a little high and growth crossed a mistake so g.d.p. and also slower declines in energy intensity and especially in common sense it's you know that same period. all right so those are all some of the details behind the report but let's talk about what will happen to our planet if we stay on this on this current trajectory according to your work scientists say that on current trends temperatures could rise nearly four roughly four degrees celsius by the centuries and what would be the consequences of that. i think there's

a consequences we don't even want to think about we've had several reports coming out documenting that even small it's morning creasing global temperatures will have devastating effects so at three o four degrees we must remember these are average averages of global warming it will be associated with a huge chunk of change creases in pots in the well and huge increases in climate. in any extreme events plus they will have devastating effects on a biodiversity and how they see it so it's really something we want to avoid. now the climate the paris climate agreement that was signed it aims to limit the rise in global temperatures to two degrees is that still within our grasp. yes it is still within our grasp the report looks into the potential for producing emissions that finds that it's fossil possible to decrease if we look at twenty six feet so it is possible. to overhaul thank you so much for talking with us so as dr

on all huff there she's the head of the climate resilience program at the technical university of denmark and the lead author of the un emissions gap report you're watching d.w. news still to come later in the show will visit cattle beats a host of the u.n. climate conference that we just mentioned and will also the heart of poland's mining region. now the latest figures from the u.n. show that russia has the biggest h.i.b. epidemic in eastern europe and central asia well than a million people there live with the virus and lack the lack of data means that the number could actually be much higher moscow says it's achieved a ninety eight percent success rate in preventing mother to child transmission still for those children with a child be the most vulnerable the outlook is bleak the w.'s your ear shattering reports as part of the series on russia's hiv aids epidemic. it's only morning

in the activity in children's home. it's the same routine every day. the same medicine the same dose every morning. i forty boys and girls live at the hope is there between four and seventeen. and to mina sick little pluses and minuses that's what they call hiv positive and negative children here. with. a clue why does it when we open this home eleven years ago hiv positive children lived separately from the divine we had wipe our sofas and no carpets we cleaned the dishes with a lot of disinfectant ordered never the coup was that even though that's what it

was difficult to create a tolerant environment for them it took years for all the stuff to accept and respect my children. he had to come up me. today with little glasses and little minuses play together and they are treated the same. they are all growing up without barry and since this children's home in the russian city of chile audience. at thirty two children have age of infected parents many of their parents suffer from alcoholism to drug addictions and have lost custody of their children. but within the walls of this home with the children are cared for and have emptied. dark chocolate you can. they learn to live with their edge of your infection confidently. and handle it better than some adults. us. once we sent the children to summer camp

on the first evening one of the carers was bathing the children when the camp's director poked his head in. as if to see if these kids have ears or two heads or something another time carer asked me what should i do they've brought me a hiv positive boy i said lock him in the cellar of course she didn't know if i was serious so i told her just let him play with the other children. you can see it's a better time of the children so. everyone knows that they're. the same medicine the same dose every evening. but there is a constant worry what will happen to the children once they leave the home. because of their mother's drug addiction during pregnancy many of them have learning difficulties and to developmental problems.

that some of them. don't have to face of their fate. some football now and by munich secure their place in the last sixteen of the champions league with a game to spare after a dominant display against portuguese side benefits after half an hour into the match by and were already two nil up thanks to a double from dutchman aryan robin that set the tone well but he struck twice to make it four one soon after half time and winger funk who believe found rounded out the easy win when he added a fifth with fourteen minutes left easing the pressure on under-fire coach nico covance. a host of other top european sides confirmed their places in the knockout stages on tuesday in by a group of bad after a two nil win in athens in

a game marred by crowd violence manchester city came from behind twice in leon to steal their last sixteen spot that result means hoffenheim are eliminated. rail madrid are through from their group meanwhile narrow wins for you ventus and manchester united saw them both at bats but his legal leaders boris's dortmund return to champions league action tonight in their own backyard against a belgian side club bruised the germans have been dominated home this season and remain undefeated they only need to draw to advance to the knockout stages but given the recent run of success dortmund will certainly be gunning for victory. armed and dangerous it's the only way to describe the current form of the black and yellow their last match in the home was a thrilling come from behind victory over the league's defeating champions byron

munich dortmund currently topped the bundesliga table with a four point cushion in the champions league a fiver and company are in pole position to win their group with a victory over their opponents way west. despite being back at home against the side that has never won in germany means coach isn't taking them lightly. we need a very good performance. the. way remember the first leg was very difficult for us he said munch of. a good drew one all at home against monaco and one for nearly in monaco that explains everything and so we have to have a very good performance. so far brucia dorman have blazed the pitch in their home matches in the champions league group stage scoring seven goals and can see the none and no team in the competition has had more different goals scores this

season we are well let's get some business news here to tell us about more troubles for one of the largest u.s. carmakers so ontario's president donald trump. has now threatened to cut all government subsidies to general motors that's after the comic has said it was cutting thousands of u.s. jobs trump aimed his comments at g.m. c.e.o. mary barra saying that he was quote very disappoint pointers from wrote on twitter the us saved general motors and this is the thanks we get now looking at cutting all g.m. subsidies including for electric cars the comic who announced on monday that it will shut five plants and lay off more than fourteen thousand workers thing. b.m.w. says it's considering to build a second factory in the u.s. that's after following that's after following threats from president trump that he would impose tariffs on imported cars from next week that's according to chief

executive kluger seen here at the ongoing los angeles auto show b.m.w. already has one plant in spartanburg south carolina where the new x seven is built . that b.m.w. is considering changes in its u.s. operations as sales in the region are growing. as we've heard in the news in five days time representatives of one hundred to nine thousand agents will gather for another crucial climate summit and that deciding how to implement the three years old paris agreement surprisingly perhaps the meeting will take place in the city of kut so it's the heart of poland's mining region. for generations coal has been the lifeblood of kassovitz is now the city's preparing to play host to the world's most important meeting on climate change. poland by far the e.u.'s largest coal producer has been working hard to reduce its dependence on

the fossil fuel but for the miners that remain here it's the core of their identity . it's a treasure and if there were no coal they'd be no jobs if we close mines and everything else goes bankrupt like the shops and companies that produce and to live for goods to them. the polish government is keen to showcase cut of it as an example of a mining area that's been transformed into a modern environmentally friendly city the summit's venue is a former mine turned cultural center. hole is certainly in our memory and on our minds all the time. because it was cold that formed the whole potential of upper side e.c.m. it was the basic commodity that was extracted here and for sure there are some sentimentality. but we know perfectly well what's going on in the world and which direction we should be taking this approach. speaking of direction answering that

question will be a priority when delegates gather here next week to paris climate deal set a target of keeping global warming below two degrees celsius all signatories except for the united states remain committed to that goal but what they have not yet agreed on is how to achieve this. hundreds of google employees have called on the company leadership to drop plans for a sense a search engine aimed at the chinese market in an open letter to the employees initiative known as project dragon-fly it would make the company complicit in human rights abuses and set a dangerous precedent. previously said project dragon-fly was only in the exploratory stage and deny that was planning to release a sense that it serves and in the near future despite the claims more than two hundred have so far signed the open letter calling for an end to the project. the

us and britain are about to finalize an open skies aviation agreement that will keep planes flying between the two nations after a break negotiators from both britain and the us have agreed that major transatlantic allan's must be covered by them being foreign owned a break. within normal rules that means flights by british airways on i.a.g. among others which are majority owned companies outside of britain and the us would be able to continue flights off the brits both countries will also be signing a bilateral as services agreement which allows the airlines of both countries to launch commercial flights were transporting passengers and cargo. now christmas is less than four weeks away and the holiday industry is already running at full speed in poland this industry has grown in importance it's not only that every year millions of christmas trees are grown and cut that the country also has become one of the world's largest producers of christmas tree ornaments. each and every bulb

is made by hand in this christmas tree ornament factory in northern poland. this year shades of purple and mentor the latest taste even if shapes and styles remain traditional. we do everything ourselves from blowing silvering of our nischelle it is a manual production of our work as applied pattern carefully with a brush and some patterns in the shape of snowflakes stars different kinds of flowers and lace everything is a very delicate balance of the cuts and there is the. smallest ball is only three centimeters and the largest fifteen centimeters in diameter the handmade designs sell well in poland but export demand is also an important part of the business. that's not all the poles are exporting ahead of the holidays millions of evergreen trees are cut down annually for christmas the north bend fur is a crowd favorite and customers are selective. it was really on the glittery has to

have an intense green color stiff twigs and evenly placed on the trunk according to polish standards slightly less than forty centimeters but this is an old standard and human tastes change it's important to please the customer because many people boldly into. this year polish foresters are hoping for a bonanza they say despite the unusually warm and dry summer the christmas tree harvest is looking particularly robust this year. that's all your business here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you on the w.b. a russian called has jailed twelve ukrainian sailors and paraded alba's on state t.v.'s most are rejected pleas from the international community to deescalate the crimea crisis ukraine has said the seizure of the ships by the russian poles god has forced them onto a war footing. it was in deed of news from berlin there's more coming up at the top
