this is it every news live from berlin a matter of life or death a secretary general antonio good at it says the world is not moving nearly fast enough to prevent catastrophic climate change calling efforts so far way off course we'll have the latest from the annual u.n. climate conference in poland also coming up progress on peace talks for yemen as the u.n. evacuated injured rebels iran said it will back negotiations due to begin soon in sweden and the far right to gain

a foothold in spain for the first time since the franco dictatorship the box party kicks out the socialist in the southern province of undersea a. little rock it's a pleasure to be with you all but we begin with some stark warnings about the dangers of climate change for the world until you get it as the u.n. secretary general says the world is way off course in the fight against climate change he was speaking in the polish city of kut of pizza where the most important talks on global warming in years are now underway the annual international conference has now officially opened and with it has told leaders and decision makers that humankind must drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to divert runaway global warming we are in deep trouble with climate change.

climate change is running faster than we. and the much catch up sooner rather than be far too slowly. for many people regions even countries this is already the matter of life or death and this meeting is the most important gathering on climate change since the bears agreement was signed if these are to overstates the urgency of our situation the u.n. secretary general there opening the conference and after talks on climate change is george marshall he is the founder of climate outreach an organization that aims to widen engagement with climate change i want to welcome you are hardly a week goes by without another stark warning about global warming and yet why are so many or so few people willing to make sacrifices for the environment

well i think the first thing to say is but governments of signally failed to engage people across their populations the vast majority of people are still not involved in climate change is an issue they know very little about it you know the conventional that was signed over twenty years ago it requires every government to educate and inform people they failed to do about i think that politically scared of the issue and they haven't gotten involved with it so we're constantly trying to catch up people need to be aware of the scale of the problem but i also need to see them so in the story and that's the other that's the other failing i think is that people think it's all about big business all that it's all about government action they don't see themselves in it it doesn't speak about values their identity what's important to them so mr marshall what can people do concretely i mean how can individuals make a difference. the most important thing for people to do is to actually to talk about it i mean of course we all have

an impact in our lives in the way that we live. thing which is going to move us forward on this is when people say to governments i'm not going to vote for you unless you take action on me so i say to a business i'm going to buy your product unless you are taking action on this and for that to happen people must be really engaged with it and that means we need to talk about it you know the vast majority of people don't actually think we'll talk about climate change from one year to the next so if a critical emphasis now has to be on reaching people as you are on this program same with this is important also saying get out there talk about it think about it discuss it in your workplace in your church with your family and i think we have to break his silence because we've been quiet about this for too long over twenty years now we haven't talked about this now family people going my word there's a real problem here maybe it's too late and it isn't too late as long as we're starting gauging with it actively all right now there is this relatively new

concept of living c o two neutral meaning that humans we've as little impact on the planet as possible and you think that that's taking it a step too far though. i think we all need to take action in our own lives but again it's very important that people do that feeling of that's who they are and what they are again it has to be something which speaks to people's values for a sense of who they are if we just say to people now you have to give everything up not surprisingly a lot of people say no don't take this away from me why should you i've i've worked hard for this i think the important thing is what we have a sense of collective action we're all in this together that means sure we all individually do things in our lives but also we demand business takes action we demand that government takes action we need to see action and old levels and this is like this like being a collective struggle so if we just say it's your fault you really have a consumer must do something that's possible to buck basically people need to feel part of a shared endeavor and then i'm confident yes people will take that action right and

then it's also less overwhelming for many people as well now when you walk out of this conference in two weeks time what kind of message would you like to take to your children for instance well the thing i was said to my kids is with this is the biggest issue of our time and actually if you want to be involved in the most exciting and most important issues of your time getting involved with this think about this and your career and your life choices and i'm certainly hugely inspired by the protests that have been happening started in sweden have been happening right across australia where young people even refusing to go to school and saying no actually off future is even more important than going to school so i'd really encourage especially younger generations but everybody at all levels all classes all politics to stand up and say no we demand action on this now we've been waiting too long actually the only rules i will make my sacrifices but i'm demanding what business and government much is that we all work together on this like it's not now to george marshall founder of climate outreach thank you so much for weighing in.

all right with we have to speak now with some of the other stories making news around the world. french ambulance workers have joined antigovernment protests blocking roads near the national assembly in the capital paris riot police prevented the paramedics from getting close to the parliament building a protest against changes in working conditions follows days of civil unrest in france. a sri lankan court has issued an order preventing mahinda rajapaksa from acting as prime minister until the legitimacy of his appointment has been reviewed the south asian country has was plunged into political crisis in october when the president sacked the former prime minister and put rajapaksa in his place . a russian made so use rocket has successfully launched into orbit carrying a crew of three the two men and one woman took off from the baikonur cosmodrome in
