this is new news coming to you live from berlin britain's prime minister finds for political life to resign rephrases m.p.'s in the house of commons just hours and took a vote of confidence on the leadership the vote has been triggered by members of the old party who oppose the plan there's also coming off a massive manhunt in the french city of strasbourg police search for the gunman who opened fire near a popular christmas market killing two people and seriously wounding several others . and to see if all of the chinese telecom giant is released on bail by a canadian court made one jew faces charges of violating u.s.

sanctions against iran. it was a do or die of match up for liverpool in the champions league thanks to the spectacular and talented muhammad. did it his go on and then the spectacular at liverpool saved near the end helped push the club boss not and into the final sixteen of europe's top club tournament. and of a warm welcome to you i'm with that shima british prime minister to resign me is fighting for her political life in an announcement outside ten downing street to resign they said she would fight a no confidence motion against her with everything she's got that came shortly after lawmakers in the governing conservative party gained enough support to trigger the vote on the leadership that will take place this evening but may was

defiant as she true down a challenge to pol pot the rebels here some of what she had to say. a change of leadership in the conservative party now will put our country's future at risk and create uncertainty when we can least afford it a new leader wouldn't be in place by the twenty first of january legal deadline so a leadership election risks handing control of the bricks in negotiations to opposition m.p.'s in parliament the new leader wouldn't have time to renegotiate a withdrawal agreement and get the legislation through parliament by the twenty ninth of march so one of their first acts would have to be extending all rescinding article fifty delaying or even stopping breck's it when people want us to get on with it. and a leadership election would not change the fundamentals of the negotiation or the parliamentary arithmetic weeks spent tearing also part will only create more

division just as we should be standing together to serve our country none of that would be in the national interest. and for more let's go to. impale in london charlotte a very defined terrorism made there can she really hang on as she wants to or is this the end game for two reasons mates premiership. well i'm all comes down to one number not the number you're going to be hearing a lot as the evening progresses that's one hundred fifty eight that is the number of m.p.'s that series in may it needs to support her for her to stay in power and at the moment various projections that we're seeing from the u.k. media suggest that she will reach that figure what must be make clear though is this vote will be a private it could well be that a number of people are saying publicly a number of m.p.'s are saying publicly we will support the prime minister what they though vote in secrets when the ballots are handed in is

a very different matter syriza may is known for being defiant though she's clung on so far she says she wants to fight through this leadership challenge so very much depends who are friends when the votes come in as you said it's a secret ballot of the north confidence vote comes from within her own conservative party and that's interesting explain to us what happens within the next few hours before that vote of confidence takes place. yeah let's be very clear this is the biggest leadership challenge that to reason may has faced so far there are two options one she loses the leadership ballot if that happens they'll be a new leadership votes what will happen there essentially is that the number of candidates who put their names forward will be whittled down to two then that will be put to a very conservative party members that is a process that could take many weeks if she wins on the other hand that would be

a boost for to reason may what it will also mean is that she won't be able to face another leadership challenge her the rebels in the tory party going to challenge her again for another year that will see it through then so in march twenty ninth when the u.k. is due to be leaving the european union and shows how does all of this affect briggs's is everything on hold for now. who are gone this is the outcome win or lose for series in may there is one fundamental problem with bricks and that is that parliament cannot reach a consensus on exactly what type of bricks it she wants to see if she wins yes she will be able to proceed with her plan may's plan as it's being called but there are so many concerns among parliamentarians and found that plan they are wanting her to go back in renegotiate with the european union something that the european union has essentially ruled out making any concessions to her if she loses then it

will face weeks of waiting to find out who the next prime minister will be they will then perhaps want to renegotiate the deal something that could take a very long time and with just over one hundred days left until the european union to the u.k. leaves the european union there is a very real risk now that u.k. faces crashing out without a deal so a lot hangs in the balance seana chance imperial outside the parliament in london where all the drama is taking place thank you very much for the live update. ok now it's my pleasure to welcome angus robertson's to the studio he's a political consultant and former deputy leader of the scottish national party who's now living in. this now within a few was the know how the conservatives decided whether to be seventy survives the vote of no confidence on dot what are your thoughts. on pleased to be on a flying visit to berlin would be happy to live here but delighted to be to be

based in the north of scotland still. nobody knows literally nobody knows when we're interviewing one another and where we're speaking to people are supposed to know know what's going on the only people who know are conservative m.p.'s who will decide in the privacy all the polling booth whether they are going to give to resume a vote of confidence or no confidence later on today what we need to bear in mind of course is that there's a third option there not just two options of to resume a losing or to resume a winning there is how much does to resume a win by and to be honest that's actually the real question to get the answer to because for those of your viewers around the world on television they may well remember that margaret thatcher faced a new court of confidence vote she won it but a majority was not large enough for her then to remain in office and that's a big risk for to reason may is that she's damaged by this whole process but listen

we're talking about an internal debate within the governing party of the united kingdom in the middle of a total political crisis and what are the tories doing there fighting one another like cats in a sack they're not putting the interests of the country first and they are running the clock down on the opportunity that there is to try and find a solution to the brics a conundrum that we all find ourselves and i think that that's exactly the argument she used but talking about the country being in a crisis and a no confidence vote which would make her lose that leadership she said would not be the interests of the cotton field leadership change at this point what kind of outcome you. hoping full angus' well i mean ultimately i would wish to see the u.k. remain within the european union scotland one of the four constituent nations of the united kingdom voted by sixty two percent to remain we were told and twenty two fourteen to vote against scottish independence so we could remain in europe and now ironically we're being pulled out against our will so i'm very focused on trying to

protect our place in europe and i know there are many friends in germany under around the world who are very sympathetic to that in the short term clearly to reason may is not part of the solution because she is proposing a deal to parliament that isn't supported either by supporters of the european union or indeed by a brics the tears so to reason may isn't part of the solution but we do need to get to grips with the problem and to do that there has to be cross party consensus on finding a solution unfortunately the conservative party are so focused on their own internal fights that they're not even considering themselves and of course is a lot of the opposition labor parties are clearly divided and nodded now despite what you want for scotland is that drags it inevitable whether that to the semi stays are not well i really hope not because it's a really stupid idea and it's going to impact negatively on the economy it's going to make people poorer it's going to cost jobs and it's going to diminish the u.k.'s role in the world and it's also going to undermine the european union and countries

like germany so what i would like to see given that we now actually know what the brics deal is on the table is that the public should be able to decide is this what you voted for or is it not what you voted for and i don't think many people voted to become poor or to see the economy go down the tubes and to be in a worse situation so i think the people should have a vote the s.n.p. will support that if we don't have that and we're taken out of europe against our will of course in scotland we will be making very moves towards scotland's independence with another referendum and we look forward to remaining with the european union. together with germany and all other member states close to lots of chords within britain for the so-called people's vote to decide on the second referendum but for now obviously wait and see what happens. but some political consultant former deputy leader of the scottish national party on a visit to berlin a pleasure to have you thank you very much. ok turning to another moving story french police on the hunt for a gunman who opened fire near

a christmas market in the city of stross book on tuesday night french prosecutors now say two people died and thirteen was injured strong is located close to the french german border it's home to the european parliament and a christmas market that draws millions of people every year that a marketplace is on placidly about right in the heart of. this is reports here in the suspect shouting god is great as he opened fire government officials say they're treating the incident as a possible terrorist attack an ordinary french housing block this is where the twenty nine year old strasburg suspect lived until yesterday an intense manhunt has been going on here and today he's nowhere to be found prosecutors say he vanished after attacking his hometown. the tragedy began unfolding around eight pm. a gunman opened fire near

a packed christmas market killing and injuring indiscriminately. a firefight broke out but the attacker got away leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. witnesses spoke of terror as the shots rang out . i saw a lot of people running scared crying kids and all that i said i think this must be very very serious. and then when i saw people crying and the crowd leaving they said it was a shooting right next door so i ran away i went to hide in a restaurant i was on. the nearby european parliament went into lockdown french authorities have raised the terror alert to the highest possible level as they searched for the suspect anti terror investigations are in charge of the case. charism has again struck our country and stroudsburg

we've been given a dramatic reminder that the danger is still a reality. francis borne the brunt of some of europe's worst terror attacks in recent years now the country finds itself yet again in the crosshairs. correspondent max health bonce book on going to eyewitness peter fitz who's also the brussels correspondent at the austrian boat cost to go out of my x. often what he witnessed. well i wasn't a far away it was a couple hundred metres from here and i was just on my way to dinner with colleagues when i heard two bangs that i initially mistook for firecrackers something so i didn't realize at first what all the commotion was about i didn't see people running but i thought they were just panicking in some general way but then i turned around the corner and immediately saw a man lying there with an apparent gunshot wound to his it probably was still alive

. he was in the states of that could have been alive or dead i can't confirm we started resuscitate first we started with c.p.r. first outside the area and we took him into a restaurant that was close by kept going i did for forty five minutes i had two ladies from germany there who were apparently with medical knowledge so doctors or nurses who helped but there was no ambulance coming apparently. the whole place was sealed off in a way that not even ambulances well that's true we understand peter that must have been one of those victims from thailand who had just gotten into the city on on tuesday to visit the christmas markets extremely tragic story but tell me what did you think of the reaction of the security forces a police that was nearby because we know that at any given moment at the christmas market you have soldiers police forces they knew something might be coming well they had a search going on the day before they had the morning before and they apparently

found something. found grenades found some kind of weaponry but what they did not do and that's because somewhat surprised me they did not in forced too harsh controls out there on the perimeter of the christmas market of perimeter of the inner city there are checkpoints all around the in the city but i went through this several times and what they did was over just checking back attacks or larger bags they didn't check anybody personally for anything they might have on him so it would have been fairly easy still to smuggle in some kind of weapon and of course should have succeeded in doing that and how are you dealing with that after all you are a journalist you have to report on it but you probably never seen anything like it in your life well people told me that the effects might not be felt still a couple of days later. i hope i can cope with that situation it's of course weird situation being the witness being trying to help and being

a reporter at the same time and well right now. being busy reporting is what keeps me going so and i hope but i want to have to deal with this for a much longer term we also hope that peter thank you very much for talking to us and with that back to you a reader in berlin. quite a traumatic experience that was a max huff want talking to peter fritz and i written and journalist with the austrian broadcaster ladish let me now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the bond the european union's prestigious sackhoff prize for human rights has been awarded in absentia to all of college now. a fierce critic of russia's annexation of the crimean peninsula senso was jailed in two thousand and fifteen for twenty years on terrorism related charges they've been messages of international solidarity for two reuters journalists in myanmar on the

first anniversary of their jailing wadlow and class who were given seven year sentences after exposing a massacre of muslims in a kind state their trial was widely denounced as a sham. us president don't trump has threatened a government shutdown an exchange with democratic party and leaders over funding for the border war with mexico trump needs democratic support to pass any spending legislation that the democrats are offering on this than the five billion dollars that he is demanding right now. and now for an update on the executive arrests in canada for that stephen is yeah that's right i'm reading a canadian court granting the bail to the chief financial officer of the chinese telecom giant joe the daughter of the company's founder now waits a hearing for extradition to the u.s.

was rested her later this month at the request of u.s. authorities on allegations that she was involved in violating sanctions on iran. while ways chief financial officer was granted bail of ten million dollars after three days of hearings in vancouver among one show will have to handover her passport wear an ankle bracelet and should be confined at night to her home in. thank you for. money is often viewed as a national hero in china so her release after a week in detention was a relief to many in beijing. and hey i feel happy about monk's release on bail it's a victory for the national enterprise although it's only bail i still hope all the sanctions on our way could be cancelled it's important that we have fair international competition with sanctions only on china and not fairness. here still the prospect of monk being used as a bargaining chip in trade negotiations between china and the us increased as us president trump said he would intervene in the case if it was in america's interest

. hours before the bail hearing a former canadian diplomat was arrested in beijing presumably in retaliation for monk's arrest canada's government is still collecting details. we are aware of the situation of a canadian detained in china we have been in direct contact with the chinese china's diplomats and representatives we are engaged in the file which we take very seriously and we are of course providing consular assistance to the family markets in asia closed high after among was released as invest if it is east about the trade battle among the world's two top economies. and staying with china media reports that beijing will cut import duties on american made cars have buoyed investor sentiment china reportedly has plans to reduce those tariffs from forty to fifteen percent now china had previously lowered its import tariffs on american cars from twenty five to fifteen percent in july but then raised them to forty

percent days to forty percent days later in response to tariffs from the u.s. and that measure forced chinese car dealers to raise their own prices u.s. president donald trump said that he would not raise tariffs on chinese imports until a full deal between the two main nations has been made. and earlier i asked our frankfurt correspondent conrad bosun if such investor optimism was really merited. very good questions steve the recent weeks have shown that the spin that the trade spat between the u.s. and china has can change very very quickly and it has to be said that news flow and the flow of rumors. in recent days coming out of washington and beijing seems very mercury very erratic often you know the sources that we have our unconfirmed people in the chinese government or on the other hand tweets

from president donald trump and some of the things that donald trump has tweeted about may sound positive constructive but they're also questionable for example trump says that he is ready to intervene in the case of mt is it helps him to make a deal now that sounds very hands on but do we really want an american president to simply intervene like that in the us. just because it helps him to strike a deal with the chinese that's probably not the you know set of common rules that we or businesses want to operate and it might encourage markets in the short term but it really makes life very difficult for people who want. a long term planning. and those are frankfurt corresponding conrod brews and now over to europe where italian prime minister giuseppe continent says he's working hard to reach a compromise to reach a compromise with brussels over his country's twenty one thousand budget the e.u.

commission has said the plans proposed deficit spending two point four percent is too high and it's threatened disciplinary measures italy says it can't change too much in the program without affecting its own domestic priorities now content is scheduled to meet tonight with e.u. commission president john claude yoga and italians are waiting to see what happens . will italy's prime minister bring an early christmas present back from brussels while shoppers are spending freely on holiday presents in rome the amount of money the government can spend is still up in the air the coalition partners remain un willing to bring the budget deficit for next year to levels demanded by regulators in brussels many want to see their government come to a deal. you know. it's all very messy. i think that something may be finally moving and maybe little by little while in a strange way we will finally become europeans that we have tried to form your for

so long even if often we have not been very happy others have an understanding for their government's current refusal to limit the deficit to below two point one percent of g.d.p. . about. i hope the budget law will be approved. and that the e.u. understands the problems that we have. i hope that salvini. prime minister countries manage to do something good for italy. but if the budget plan is not approved and italy is sanctioned by brussels that could trigger an early election in march investors believe that just might lead to a. more stable government italy's barn year old feller early in the day as a result. and let's go back to reading now with some news from the world of football absolutely football i know you were rooting for napoli i was rooting for

liverpool and guess who won. if not now looking at the last season's champions league final is liverpool have squeezed into the knockout stages with a narrow one nil win or been up in the now mohamed salah ordinance more silence first have goal gave liverpool the shutout victory they needed to progress but they had to withstand a dramatic finish live a pretty good keeper allison made a spectacular seed point blank range to preserve the win for coach you're going. now as liverpool script by to advance to the knockout stage not only dropped right out of fifth after starting the evening in first place in group c. of that's because the other big game of the night so paris sent a man win and topped the group another english side tottenham advanced thanks to their draw in barcelona germany's doth loan and shout coble already through to the

last sixteen. now the final group games in the champions league take place on wednesday night and for one determined club there is the chance of moving on to the knockout stages despite immense hardship i'm talking about the ukrainian side shut down yet they haven't been able to play at home since the civil war in the east of the country flared up in two thousand and fourteen now recent tensions with russia mean that the crunch whole match up with the french got your has been moved to yet another new venue. it's tough being a shut down nets fan the side of been forced to play away from the home stadium since two thousand and fourteen when pro russia rebels launched an armed conflict in eastern ukraine donbass arena was even damaged by artillery shells the football team first started playing whole matches in living over one thousand kilometers

away last year they moved to the comparatively close city of kharkiv but now they must face leone in kiev the recent naval spat with russia prompted an imposition of martial law in ukraine's eastern regions which is behind the switch of match venue to the ukrainian capital. fans at the recent domestic away game at the moment all the travelling and dream of a day they can play in donetsk again. we would like chucked out a play now dumbass the rain or internet. playing at the dumbass arena we would all probably cry down and great the team with open arms. no. the fact is still in the running for the champions league last sixteen is down to an owner and good player recruitment following an exodus of big names there's also a huge pride in the jersey

a win against leon will see them through but the players would much rather the game was in kharkiv but the stuff. that would have been a full stadium in hockey. i know that a lot of fans bought tickets. this is a big problem and. we hope the fans will have a chance to come to kiev to support the team. it's very important for us because i . was. shocked i hope to be flying their flag in the champions league come february you're sure you're sure. you're watching the news coming up ahead the island in india disappearing into the sea soil erosion and climate change of heart the size of the island in recent years so what kind of future awaits the five thousand people who call it their home. and a new documentary about the young climate warriors who say it is still possible to avert a climate catastrophe if we have the collective brain. all of that's been coming up

shortly if you're watching the news from berlin. wall to the chances their dreams will come true in germany the child's face is determined very early on in the fight to improve your place in society is. who the winners and who are the losers in this nine hundred. inequality. wouldn't have been fighting for the case to be taken seriously in the world of what appears has come out. in stark county w. . the female superhero on

a mission smart women smart talks smart station a legend these are by no means missed out on it were increasingly dangerous to. make. you know this zero five minutes four minutes. morse has a power and a beauty combined. he has it all. fits in the pantheon of the great tenors certainly he's one for the ages. of ten or fourteen starts december twenty second on t.w. . her first day of school in the jungle. doris granger moment arrives. join during

a taping on her journey back to freedom. in our interactive documentary. returns home on t w dot com. you're watching the news i'm on with that shima a pleasure to have your company coming up in the next fifteen minutes just so much for the perfect spot that in china's booming marriage market we look at how matchmaking companies are taking over the flame and hot ticks of finding the right twat. but first to india and an island in danger of being swallowed up by the sea all of these all the shows of go. amada island in the coastal delta of the bay of bengal a little less than five thousand people live on a piece of land less than five square kilometers and their way of life is now under threat experts say a combination of erosion and surging water levels is causing gorham our island to

sink it's location at the miles off the estuary in the bay of bengal is partly to blame residents say the island has nearly hived in size over the past three decades this has left the future of the people living there in doubt many have already left while others are considering leaving. in less than thirty years this indian island has changed beyond all recognition. it's not just that nearly one third of its population have left the island of gori mara itself is disappearing the reasons climate change and soil erosion. one person whose life has been turned on its head as a result his village or river city. our house was built three times and was destroyed three times there was nowhere to stay after it was

destroyed so we moved inland and built our homes here. this is city standing at the place where home used to be the problem on this island and others in the bay of bengal is that the seas rising and the soil is being a road it literally taking away the ground beneath the island is feet. flooding has devastated parts of the island and is threatening the livelihood and the future of the people who have lived here for generations. the residents here the four thousand eight hundred people who live here we have to save them we have to increase the height of the embankment we have to really keep the residents from here to another better place it should also be given work in order for them to survive. people in gorham are

lead a simple life creating almost no carbon footprint there are no cars and no electricity on the island yet it seems if efforts to rein in climate change fail it is there you will pay the price for the consumption of others. joining me now from concord is a thought in course from the school of oriental graphic studies at the university welcome dr gorse now you've done a lot of the search on good armada island how much of a threat does climate change pose to the people living there. yeah you have already mentioned that. opposition has to do stand the sight of what i want to receive used but he spared the malays with comparatively higher elevation from the mean sea level and it's ideal for cultivation and other baisden's but the only problem of what i want a solution so climate change and also in some way the human intervention in that

eventuality created the problem of evolution and already fifty percent of the land sites reduced and you can understand the people suffering in their land and houses and judith leigh impacting their living and people and people are forced to move from their own have a dead. after losing their all assets and the food security problem is there and the population is decreasing so i'm not going to give any other somebody limbs down all the family some people are facing there is then head from the government forthcoming for these people. i can see you that there is action on the next show so when you were in the us to order typefaces out of the location the government the local government. acted

like something like that they are providing land and something even something like that in the way islands are going to land but that you know action parties are also there because there is no such policy to protect them or provide them something else and don't seem to find old land because in between the government declared war on what island has no man's land so they try to look at people. in seeing the government governance they could not actually find out or they did not find out after appeared land for relocating them so there is action and inaction and elections now and so far jim burnett as you mentioned this area is it an s.u.v. how much of a threat to do rising sea water level spores to this area both in india and bangladesh yeah there are a lot of discrepancy in the sea level rise data because people are talking about the millimeter millimeter also sometimes to clean it up so it's that really is the

area but it's true on the food on the land people are suffering so there is evolution in the others part of the issue in complex. including the g.b.m. data so the sea level rise is there and their impact is observed but we don't know exactly what kind of data we should provide to the people because there are a lot of distributors in data dr dr through here in goshen from john the for here to city in kolkata thank you very much for talking to d.w. . thank you. to china next this is the pitch many parents dream for their children a perfect marriage a perfect but before coppens reached the stage they need to find the right one to distantly it's the parents and the relatives i that's who what is the what are known as a marriage markets where literally advertise their children or through family

connections but tech savvy china now has a not the solution matchmaking companies dedicated to finding just the right feel. this man is on the lookout. for women. but not for himself. and his female colleagues are matchmakers. their turf the malls of shanghai. the objects of their interest are supposed to be pretty stylish and elegant. and there's a higher who are meant to. fly say hello to them and introduce myself and my job i then called them on their beauty and i asked them if they have a boyfriend or if they're single. some say you and i know. the thirty three year old looks for potential marriage material for wealthy men but the

first women approached today have given him the cold shoulder. he's matchmakers work for a particular marriage agency they have six million registered clients which is rather small for china but they offer tailor made match ups starting at ten thousand euros per year. james wang would like to get married he works for a car importer which gives him very little spare time that's why the agency is finding candidates for him in organizing meetings. she looks quite sweet she's from shanghai says advisor uli her parents are civil servants her auto import client owns an apartment and a luxury car impressive status symbols here. if you have a better car maybe you have a better chance to to find a woman but for me i wouldn't i don't want to take this into this

this path because i would like to find the right woman the woman the girl not just of value me for these things i have but more likely my person with two hundred million singles in the country there's a lot to choose from yet standards are high according to the head of the agency especially when it comes to money matters often times love is not enough. without financial security love is wishful thinking and illusion your financial status is a requirement. of course it's not the only thing that counts but it is a factor. for well heeled clients the search for candidates will continue for as long as it takes the agency's success stories are up on the walls like trophies in the hard fought chinese marriage market. at this park and shanghai things are more traditional parents are out to help their children. they list their children's accomplishments on brill it's like having studied in germany or working for

a foreign company or making a decent salary but they're often looking for is a man with an apartment parents of china's one child generation are worried that their son or daughter will end up alone and never have children many start bugging their children in their mid twenty's about wedding plans in china a woman who's over thirty is already considered an old maid. to give cupid a boost there's a speed dating session every evening china's earlier one child policy has led to a large surplus of males nevertheless that doesn't mean women have an easier time finding a mate experts say that's because they're peculiar and usually aim above their social class men on the other hand look around in their own class or lower. nearby is one of shanghai's most popular agencies which trains men for the challenges of finding women this client pay has

a small company but doesn't own his own apartment here he's learning to do breathing exercises. the thirty one year old is under pressure from his parents and it doesn't help that he's also shy advisor suneel young gives dating courses and shows men what else matters in relationships besides having a car and a home many of her clients seem to lack basic social skills. that the one child generation has grown up rather ico to stickle and arrogant they're used to everything being centered around them but if they now look for a partner they could also be too self-centered they find it difficult to feel empathy for the other person. she advises pay on his wardrobe that's also part of the twelve thousand euro single coaching package it ends when he's found a woman but sonny thinks his clothing is getting in the way and he can't go on a serious date with his current apparel she recommends going for better quality

clothes more serious business like and not too casual she thinks he should get rid of most of what he has already and then there's his posture she says in order for him to feel more confident he should stick out his chest stand straight and pull in his stomach the first meetings have already achieved some progress. now i take the initiative and address women a more active which is very important. to the business. he's promised his coach that by the next session he will have managed to find a date he already has a woman in mind. back to the high end matchmaker he has found a woman who's interested in his writing down her information but she's not willing to describe the kind of man she would like he takes a photograph for the agency's file. and he's pleased. she's i think we have found a classically beautiful woman with

a lot of charisma she is one metre seventy tall and is a private trainer in a fitness studio. and now you get yours. and then another success the next candidate is surprised by the approach but then agrees she suddenly finds herself perhaps inadvertently a candidate for marriage. go get. the. matchmaking in china stephen is with me now and he's here to look at a trend that's watching economists that's right and read the story actually begins in india which has a new central bank chief shakti come to doss has been appointed appointed to the. top job of the reserve bank of india that after the abrupt departure of patel on monday now patel cited personal reasons but his resignation follows serious disagreements with the government over monetary policy and that's the trend that has economists worried as an increasing number of governments the world over

interfere with their central banks which is supposed to be independent of the us federal reserve the bank of england the european central bank the world over central banks are some of the most powerful institutions their arsenal allowing them to adjust interest rates inflation print money and sure up the economy they usually designed to be independent from political interference but is that changing . applause handshakes and backslaps aside president john paston proved to be the biggest fan of fed chair jerome powell openly criticizing the u.s. federal reserve's decision to raise rates on several occasions i think it is that they. really think that the fed is out of control i think what they're doing is wrong and they're making a mistake but donald trump isn't the only one questioning monetary decisions turkish president threat ship type and one is at the forefront of attacks against

his country's central bank he remains be immensely against raising borrowing costs which is believed to be the reason the bank hasn't increased them. and in india the central bank governor there unexpectedly resigned on monday patel had been embroiled in a series of clashes with prime minister moody's administration putting the reserve bank of india under intense pressure to ease lending conditions experts would have real economic consequences still for now it seems as a global tussle over who gets the keys to their country's monetary policy. china is one of the biggest investors in africa its companies building infrastructure like railways and roads across the continent now in uganda that government is worried about chinese businesses after a rash of robberies and so it's taking an extraordinary stuff to protect them. chinese hotel yeah you being has lived in uganda for fifteen years been

to crack down on robots but might as we'll see if the chinese against us. and we go back to something on government efforts to deal with climate change that's right stephen you know international climate talks in poland have entered the final stretch with the u.n. secretary general urging nations to agree on a plan of action of the talks aimed at producing guidelines on how to implement the paris climate accord which comes into force in two thousand and twenty one of the accords main goal is to keep the global temperature rise to below two degrees celsius by the end of the century now the un says greenhouse gas levels are once again on the rise if the current trend continues the one may be headed for a temperature increase of three to five degrees celsius or to keep global warming below two degrees countries will have to cut carbon dioxide emissions by twenty

five percent by the year two thousand and thirty and by two thousand and seventy five bring those emissions to zero. now a chorus line mexico's chick is gotta read so where the conference climate conference has been going on and she joins me now from there welcome x. what is the state of negotiations there. yes well as with every climate conference there's several challenges the members have to tackle and currently there are two challenges the members here have to tackle in the last final three days of cuts of it's one is of course that every nine percent has to bring forward the national goals that they want to bring to what in the person of like how to protect the climate and then get to know the taro signed up by the other members and the other big challenge is of course the rule book that everybody's talking about at the moment and how to finalise that this rule book will in fact be the god of how to implement the paris climate agreement and what we've heard today is that there is

a new draft available that everybody is talking about now but the question is will they actually finalize that draft or will they built stephen working on x. and might try to bring in new things in the couple of days that are still coming so let's see if i'm in the final draft what are the main sticking points. to underlying marriage as we can see here and cultivates of the moment one is trust so first of all the question is when these member states here will bring forward their . contributions to answer for example the question of the national goals will they be actually transparent will they be actually true to what they want to do and will they for example like bring forwards goals that are interested or like that are basically standing out for what they what they need and the other one is a mission and so the question is will they actually stick to the idea that we need that one point five percent. tax and yet so then that these two motives like well are they each other trusting enough this sort of like come countries like brazil and the us who are very critical or and will there be ambitious to offer for what

the international climate panel has before wet so these are the two motives so still some talking to do max a caustic in got to be to thank you very much. and we're going to stay on climate change can you really got to missions new documentary is out in germany which takes a look at people who say we can't it's cool it's climate what is and how to end it said david levitz has checked it out for us welcome david so what's different about this documentary well i think we're all used to a lot of doom and gloom when it comes to the topic of climate change and here this movie climate warriors is a little different it takes a very hopeful outlook it focuses on the heroes people who are pushing to get our planet where it needs to be the movie's director is col. he's a german peace and climate activist who actually started his career as

a paratrooper in the german army before the birth of his daughter in the one nine hundred eighty s. inspired him to change his life now in this movie he takes us around the globe showing us basically what a renewal energy future could look like but surprisingly there's a lot of focus on the united states and the united states president has reiterated that he's going to pull out the u.s. from this planet tickle him right and you know one person who has been very vocal against him figures very largely in this movie that is the terminator himself former california governor arnold spots and they go let's take a look. why are you so interested in the environment i'm in do you a conservative you're republican wise a passionate i always tell them is it this is now the party issue this is the people's issue this is an issue about creating a future for generations so children and grandchildren they became big proud off days no conservative liberal we all breathe the same is involved one man may have

turned his back on to paris and that environmental progress our states and our cities have not our colleges and universities have not corporations and our businesses have not and most importantly our people have not america didn't drop out of paris donald trump dropped out of paris. so we have to see how that pans out quite a statement by statement but you know as he said it's i mean trump has been drawing some list the countries have discounted the u.s. government when it comes to taking action against climate change entirely and that's where this movie takes actually a very a very optimistic approach let's say and it introduces us to some grassroots heroes who we might not have known now one of them is the eighteen year old native american rapper she tells caught martinez he's one of twenty one young people who are suing the trumpet ministration so make an act on climate change.

old old and very old of the brain type on the go all the way. we approved the permit to finally cleared the way to completion of the dakota access type. of. indigenous peoples and for his police. that are affected by fossil fuel extraction oil pipelines the tar sands in canada oh refineries mineral extraction like that's off the business people so to a certain extent as a business person we have been hit harder than many a place is on it but at the same time a to be a climate warrior is being able to understand that the crisis that we face in a way that empowers us to fight to preserve or protect that which is left. a lot of what i'm trying to do is not just fight for climate justice but actually power generation current generation of youth everywhere to take the lead in

creating a movement a worldwide movement to fight for the solutions that we know that we deserve whether it's social justice human rights through climate justice. martinez he's one of the very inspiring climate warriors and this film is also a climate warriors and he's actually been a very vocal and articulate activist in the fight against climate change since he was five or six years old now for anyone who can't get to see this movie is actually still only playing in german cinemas you can actually look up sure martinez online and check out some of his activist raps and i would really recommend doing the whole wonderful thank you so much dave levitz and more on the web site on our website i do w. dot com slash culture david limits a pleasure to have you with us. you're watching news coming to you live from but the standing by you have the news headlines for you coming up shortly meanwhile from me on that that she and david. thank you.
