president's former lawyer once said he would take a bullet for donald trump now he has directly implicated the president in criminal conduct. a massive manhunt in the french city of strasburg after a deadly shooting at a popular christmas market authorities say the suspect sharif. was on a police watchdog for the watch list for radicalism. an empty chair to represent the winner of the prestigious soccer off prize for human rights this year's award goes to ukrainian film. is in jail in russia. i'm phil gale welcome to the program. breaks it might be about to cross the u.k. it's second the prime minister opponents of treason deal have secured support for a vote of no confidence. in her leadership of the conservative party if she loses

she will remain as prime minister but only until a new party leader is chosen her pretty david cameron resigned two years ago when the u.k. voted to leave the european union this is may's votes will happen in the coming hour. to reason may is defending herself with all her might this morning she responded to a potential leadership challenge by saying that kicking her out would put bracks it's at risk she elaborated on her position in parliament later in the afternoon and we the public knows it's an easy they want us to secure a deal that delivers on that result and we shouldn't risk kind of control of the back seat negotiations to opposition m.p.'s in parliament because that would mean risking delaying bret's it or even stopping bret's it none of that would be in the national interest so i think we need to get on and deliver a good press it for the country should warm opposition leader jeremy corbyn was having none of it serious and passionate he demanded and the vote on her deal with the prime minister and the government have already been found to be in contempt of

parliament her behavior today is just contemptuous of this parliament. there could be no more excuses no more running away put it before parliament and let's have the vote outside parliament young people frustrated with the whole process where raising their voices in favor of taking the decision back to the people i think that as we've watched politicians a week or so maybe they're scrambling around arguing amongst themselves about who they want to lead their leader while our nation is in a complete political crisis we are catapulting towards exit next march i think that young people here responsibly today states their absences that we expect more from them and i think that everybody has been really just pointed with how politicians handle this crisis and really expect more in this time in london street markets some older voters expressed sympathy towards me and frustration at the whole process. it's called the oil. this implies he has done all the work. and then

someone else is going to come along and start the process all over again and it's going to cost more more millions just just to try and get this briggs you know as conservative m.p. circle around may breaks it plans the prime minister for now is fighting for her political survival. chances in london welcome charlotte this vote happens in the next hour or so does theresa may have the numbers. but that's exactly what we're going to find out it is the moment of truth now m.p.'s are much own party will be voting to decide whether or not she stays and have position or whether or not she leaves and i have one of those m.p.'s with me this is vicki ford who joins me now she's a former m.e.p. and an m.p. she listened to to reason may as she gave an impassioned speech to her m.e.p. to m.p.'s for the last time before this vote vicki thank you for joining me what

was it that a reason may said so there was a huge amount of support for her in the meeting that we've just had now a very very crowded room you know that the three hundred plus people voting today and the other members there as well so first of all she has a point that this is not the time to be creating more on certainty with a change of leadership and it is in the interests of both the u.k. and countries like germany that we don't have this no deal hard cliff edge bracks it will be very damaging to countries across europe as well as to the u.k. and that is why she thinks it's an extremely important we keep working on focusing on delivering the deals she's negotiated she also updated us on the meetings that she had in germany as well as in the netherlands in brussels this week and the need to what to gether to address these concerns about the arash border. the backstop

and it's really really important i believe as a someone who's been involved in many european negotiators that we work with our european twenty seven other countries to try and resolve those concerns it's not a it's not an issue that's in the interests of germany to have to use that backstop it's not in the interest of the other twenty seven countries to have to use it so let's find a way to remove the risks it produces and therefore hopefully to get this amicable deal through parliament i'm not is so important she reminded us that as conservatives you know we saw the security we stand for a strong economy we stand for freedom we stand for aspiration helping people to get on and those are all common interests that we have with the people of germany and other countries and we should continue to fight for them do you think that series i'm a speech was enough to convince m.p.'s to back if i had to survive this confidence vote well there's clearly some m.p.'s have made up their mind before they're even

in the room but from the amount of noise and support i have for the prime minister tonight it's very clear that there's a huge number of people in our party who think the last thing we need at the moment is a very uncertain leadership challenge we've got one hundred plus days before that exit date and everybody needs to be working together to find a deal they can support instead of criticizing it from the sidelines and that's why one more push from the e.u. twenty seven as well to help find a deal that works and you happy to tell me where you stand how you're going to vote in a secret ballot so i'll be supporting the prime minister i've had overwhelming number of emails from my constituents today asking me to do that including from people who voted leave in the referendum saying please vote for the prime minister this is not the time the prime minister's also made it clear tonight that come the next general election twenty twenty two she doesn't believe should be leading the party at that time but right now this is she's the right person to continue. to find the way

through these very difficult negotiations i think i really do have the politicians across germany again to really really try and find a way to resolve this issue on the back stop it's a legal risk it's not a particle of us so let's find a way to levy thank you very much house vicki for their form any conservative m.p. she just was in the meeting room where the prime minister to resign may gave a final speech before the vote of no confidence which is beginning now ok so after the vote talk us through what happens next charlotte. we're expecting a result quite quickly fell off to those votes have been handed in those secret ballots has been submitted beyond that while there are story options and at the moment is anybody's guess which way it's going to go there is the option that she survives this confidence votes in which case the conservative rebels within her own party won't be able to challenge her again for another twelve months she may lose

of course perhaps a number of those who have said publicly that they'll support the prime minister privately my vote likely differently if she loses that will prompt weeks of wrangling is the conservative party tries to find a new prime minister but what people are really looking at those who think that prime minister to resign may will survive this vote they want to know by how many ballots because crucially if it's not by a huge margin she may in fact to stand down. and london thank you. here in germany and i did chief political editor because the cover has been speaking with metal and i cover that vahey as a member of the german parliament and bracks and rapporteurs for the social democratic party. mr grabby what kind of ripple effects of the uncertainty we're seeing in london are we seeing here but then today we have been seeing uncertain effects in the past as well so basically everybody sticks to the plan that we do not know exactly in detail what's coming out of london and we're prepared for

everything what should the expectation be for the german chancellor to try and help her very similar who after all was here in berlin at ease the way into something better than an uncontrolled tax where we are not negotiating we are not in negotiating as germany because negotiators were the european union and this is done as everybody knows so this may obviously travel to brussels first and then to all the national leaders but the answer will be every everywhere more or less the same there will be no renegotiation that's also something the german chancellor stressed here once again in the chances question time at the same time plourde younger the commission president said he's phoning around basically talking to e.u. leaders how could anything be made easier for to recently at this point i think nothing i think it was very very difficult from the very beginning from the very beginning in two sixteen when the decision was made there is no gaining back

control without having the positive effects of the european union so this will not be a win win situation for the united kingdom it will not and the closer we get to march twenty ninth more and more it is clear that there will be no win win situation you have to make a decision at a certain point now you are reporting on behalf of the social democrats on this break that process how prepared is germany for an uncontrolled backs. well we're wishing the best we're wishing that it is a controlled breaks it and we are prepared for the worst that it's no deal scenario and what's happening what has happened in the past is that we're analyzing the government as analyzing what has to be done practically customs and whatever but at the same time today was the last step in the cabinet of the german government to take the steps for legislation towards a uncontrolled exit so what should the governor's message towards great britain be

today after all you are member of the governing coalition well except that there is no win win situation and it's we shouldn't give advice to foreign governments and parliaments. but taking responsibility if not for the european union but at least for the united kingdom is to be clear on that there is no win win situation you have to make a decision at a certain point isn't it betty thank you very much for talking to. us president donald trump's former personal lawyer has been sentenced to three years in jail michael cohen was sentenced by federal court in new york over his role in the payment of hush money to women who claim to have had affairs with mr trump before he was elected with the co it was also charged with lying to congress about the post trump tower project in russia a project that was being discussed while mr trump was running for president in two thousand and sixteen the sentence was reduced due to the current cooperation with

prosecutors. don't lose alexander for norman and washington has more welcome alexander so what do we learn from this three year sentence. well this is a substantial term of imprisonment something that the prosecutor has requested and it's telling us that michael cohen committed serious crimes he still has time to spend christmas with his family then he has to surrender at the beginning of march and then he's going to jail however we also have to add that it could have been worse he could have been sentenced to five years and three months in prison and that was further all sentencing guidelines are calling for and were calling for in this. case and he can still cooperate with prosecutors and try to reduce his sentence this way. remind us of the role michael cohen played in

president charles business michael cohen had worked for donald trump and his organization for about twelve years he was his personal attorney his lawyer but he was more than that he was trump's close confidante called fics with the greats knowledge of donald trump of business and personal dealings he once said that he would take a bullet for donald trump and his loyalty was also a topic today in the courtroom were michael cohen said that what he did was on behalf of the president he even said that he was so we to believe that it was he's u.t. to cover up donald trump's dirty. so how likely is this. the president himself. well i think that we have to say that it's

a very day for donald trump because a member of his inner circle was sentenced to prison for the first time that something like that is happening and because the president is fully implicated in this case cohen and the prosecutors are saying that one of the crimes michael cohen committed to hush money payment was directed by the then candidate don't know it's trump so we have already some democrats on capitol hill saying that that could be an impeachable offense however we also have to say that donald trump still has the support of his fellow republicans and he himself denies any wrongdoing i was on the phone naaman in washington thank you. for

a bunch of our main story of the day britain's tumultuous political events having a media to effect on the world of finance and having i guess from business as well thanks very much for years investors apparently don't even know what to do now the british pound is currently rallying after prime minister to resign may said she would fight the confidence vote that is ongoing right now with all she's got the currency is coming out of a twenty month low against the euro on monday let's not forget after may decided to pull that vote on a draft rex's agreement jumped on may's response today and has continued to rise making up some of those losses traders apparently believe may well win and that the u.k. could still avert a no deal bricks earlier we asked our correspondent in frankfurt pools and what the consequences would be if to reason make doesn't survive this confidence vote. everywhere whoever has to do with business or with the united kingdom everywhere people are getting involved in preparations for

a no do break that and those preparations have got a bit of a boost because of the events of today and the last few days today the german government for example announced that it has introduced legislation which will allow british banks to continue to do business here in germany even after march twenty ninth those are the so-called passport rights which are to be extended until the end of twenty twenty rolls royce the large engine maker and now is that it is talking to the european safety aviation agency over shifting design approval here to germany not something was freud's really wants to do but something it has to do if it wants to stay in business here in europe. that was caught in frankfurt on to another topic that is keeping markets on education indian court has granted bail to the chief financial officer of chinese telecom giant weiwei main one chole the

daughter of the company's founder and now awaits a hearing for extradition to the u.s. men was arrested earlier this month at the request of u.s. authorities over allegations she was involved in violating us against around. while ways chief financial officer was granted bail of ten million dollars after three days of hearings in vancouver among one joe will have to hand over her passport wear an ankle bracelet and should be confined at night to her home in vancouver. among is often viewed as a national hero in china so her release after a week in detention was a relief to many in beijing. 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 huawei could be cancelled it's important that we have fair international competition sanctions only on china it's not fairness but. still the prospect of money 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 among the rest canada's government is still collecting details. we are aware of the situation of our community and in china we have been in direct contact with the chinese chinese diplomats and representatives we are engaging in the file which we take very seriously and we are of course providing consular assistance to the family markets in asia closed higher after among was released as invest if it is east about the trade battle among the world's two top economies. a german company has one access to the world's largest reserves of lithium a.c.i. systems will mind fifty thousand tons of lithium hydroxide a year from the you do need solve flat in believe you enough to supply one million

home to the twenty nine year old suspected terrorist one stop in an intense manhunt and today he's nowhere to be found prosecutors say he vanished after attacking his hometown and the tragedy began unfolding around eight pm to. the 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. strassburg went into lockdown funds at a local basketball arena for united in defiance. today a heavy police presence remains in strasburg. one witness caught up and choose days

attack spoke to d w. i didn't realize 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 turned around the corner and immediately saw a man lying there with an apparent gunshot wound to his it's proved he was still alive. he was in the states that could have been alive for that can't confirm we started research situation at first we started with c.p.r. first outside there and we took him into a restaurant that was close by kept going at it for forty five minutes french authorities have raised the terror alert to the highest possible level. terrorism has again struck our country and strasburg we've been given a dramatic reminder that the danger is still a reality. france has borne the brunt of some of europe's worst terror

attacks in recent years. now the country finds itself yet again in the crosshairs. straight to the french capital have doubled of course one of the slowest so it is their welcome thing so what do we know about the suspect sharif a cat we know that he is twenty nine years old apparently he was born in strasburg in a deprived area that's at least way he was living at the end now this person was known to police he was he has been known to the to the to police for a long time actually he was sentenced to twenty seven times in his life in france but also in germany and in switzerland for petty crime but the police was also thinking that he had gotten radicalized there where they were really keeping him on a close watch apparently when he left the crime scene yes a day in

a cab he told the taxi driver that the police had searched his apartment in the morning they found a grenade at that and that's how the government identified him really knew that they were actually talking about this twenty nine yo man. and there is a manhunt where they're searching. well you got seven hundred twenty people deploy it seven hundred twenty police officers that's a lot actually so they searching probably in a lot of different places the government is not telling is too much their strategy not in order not to to not to undermine their work we know that authorities the authorities out cooperating with german authorities they have border checks also they are extra police officers at different christian markets across the country nobody is really concentrating hard to to find in order to find the early on that thought that the suspect might be in care that's just across the border in germany

from from strasburg but that turned out to be wrong so they're putting up other leads now i suspect and a strasberg must be in shock today. absolutely people have been talking to the french media telling them that well they knew that something might be actually in the air that was a threat that was known to people who lived in strasburg especially concerning the christmas market actually but still a lot of people are shocked strasburg is a rather small city in the sense that people a lot of people knew the people who were injured and those who die it really and a lot of people are trying to you know get over this now and they're different places in the region have been holding. minutes of silence actually so it's not just as transit that's really in shock but at the area and obviously the whole country as well you see louis and paris facts here.

up the country's second largest lake and whether the livelihoods of thousands of people. will have more of the day's out world's news i'm spoiled i'm culture it's all here i'm think dubliners. one of. the continental is we inventing itself as africa's tech scene discovers it's true potential inventors entrepreneurs and high tech professionals talk about their visions successes and day to day business the first few. bits of. history in everyone goes to school. he sees the. digital

in movie magazine on the w. i was a few when i arrived here i slept with six people in a room. it was hard i wish. i even got white hair. which helped me out a lot this gets me a little but maybe to interrupt let's say you want to do their story. their fighting and reliable information for margaret. there was indeed a balloon in your life from but i don't feel gail coming up in the next fifteen minutes british prime minister theresa may house for making a must win its appeal to her conservative m.p.'s as she faces and their confidence votes in how they should provinces warning the top in her pledge the country can see even more uncertainty that could result in the process of process being delayed

or even scrapped. let's get more b.w. suppressive specialist alex forrest watching welcome alex so bring us up to date with the latest from westminster well that meeting is being held at the moment in westminster that meeting of the so-called nine hundred twenty two committee they are holding a no confidence vote which is on its go on for the next hour or so and they've already had the prime minister has self to raise them a talking to them appealing to them to back her saying that look she will not stand for the next election if that could sway a few people to support her at the moment it does look as though she has got the backing. of the majority of her m.p. she has one hundred fifty nine tory m.p.'s to give her that simple majority but also she needs a lot more she wants to have any control over that party in the future difficult though because it's a secret ballot we actually don't know what's m.p.'s will really do when it comes

down to it but i think at the moment it does look like she is going to survive and this is all to do with threats of britain's withdrawal from the european union one wonders how. the rest of europe is viewing this this political chaos yes i mean they're not saying anything publicly but they must be shaking their heads in disbelief there is an e.u. summit in brussels tomorrow where leaders will be including to reason may have spokes person has said is that she is going to press again for there to be more changes a so that she can present her deal to british parliament there's particularly a lot of talk about this so-called backstop and that is what those in favor of brics it are concerned about now yesterday two reason may was supposed to vote to push parliament she pulled it and instead went to two various countries including here in germany spoke to angle america for example he said look we're not going to

open that withdrawal agreement again it is what it is and today paris have reiterated the same line americal has in fact spoken to the german parliament where she said a similar line but she's also made it quite clear that she is concerned that a no deal bricks it could be a step closer. also over that i continue to hope that there will be an orderly exit of prison from you when you we may not have much time why did you have. was a british prime minister was here yesterday and told me that the vote on the deal will happen by january twenty first at the latest but you all know from the latest media reports of things are in flux i can only tell the citizens of germany that we're working hard for an orderly breck's it and at the same time we're preparing for the eventuality dumpings on orderly we're doing everything we can in terms of laws to awards and unnecessary heart chips so alex where does this leave bricks it

fits a very good question to reason may as of c. been stressing that either the u.k. a gets this breaks it deal with deal that they leave all that it could not happen to toulon there is a very real possibility of that and i think that she you know she's been stressing out to m.p.'s at the moment and i feel that it is we are now a step closer to either there being no deal at all where the u.k. would leave without a deal or that there could possibly be a second referendum many things would have to play out in parliament for both of those things to happen but even if two reason may does win this vote she really has not got a huge support within her own party and she really needs to try to prove that she can make a difference with that deal europe saying they can't change much so it really doesn't look good for her first of all i think thank you.

let's go back to about one of the earlier stories about the police manhunt in strasburg of the man who killed the two people down suspected of killing two people and injuring more at a christmas market. helen humphrey is in the city i welcome however tell us about the suspect the sheriff the cat. well twenty nine year old cat is now a man on the run he was born and raised here in cars will go and he's clearly a very troubled individual he has twenty seven criminal convictions relating to common law offenses from the age of thirteen according to the paris public prosecutor he'd spent time in prison it's believed that he was radicalized whilst he was in prison and tried to radicalize others in twenty fifty now he also had what we call here in what's been called here in france if he she it s. and s. file which means that he was on a terror watch list suspected of having the potential of carrying out

a terror related attack people who live in his apartment block say something seemed off he didn't seem quite right yesterday authorities were at his residence in the suburb of no doff to try to arrest him on a robbery charges behave already given him given them the slip essentially and i his residence they found grenades and other weapons which then linked him to becoming the suspect for this later attack and tell us about the manhunt. well it's now a terrorism investigation france is at the highest level of alert which means that it can carry out border controls bearing in mind of course that is close to germany the deputy interior minister has said that the suspect may no longer actually be in france and seven hundred offices are involved those offices belonging to the sense in a. police offices as well the counter terrorism offices so that's currently under way

five arrests have also been made. thank you. now i have a i get is back with more business news and the backlash for chinese investments in africa that's right a situation that is worrying many china as many know is one of the biggest investors in the african continent and companies are building all sorts of infrastructure projects like railways and roads across the different nations but not all welcome that strong chinese presence in the region in a gander the government is worried about a rash of robberies targeting chinese businesses and so it's taking an extraordinary steps to protect. chinese hotelier you've been has lived in uganda for fifteen years been says uganda's government has assured himself to for his business all this time not only he acts and i must i wouldn't promise and. in uganda where you met the factory and the good or for your kind of

people. a lot of your kind of people come to get a job and that this is your hair people can develop saw you for true don't really. buy the factory the safety. but not all the chinese nationals in uganda i like being. the police see the cases of fifty at chinese owned businesses of lately increased. this is forced uganda's president you were in was saving for military intervention. by criminals or no or no investors this is an acceptable and the steps being taken to assure that. investors the local or international protected. or chinese friends have raised the concerns and. we've responded to them. with

seventy sees the chinese of created many jobs for ugandans and he cannot risk frustrating them. i'm going to have. to move. for uganda who really wanted to put them. over fifty thousand chinese live in uganda many are engaged in construction mostly funded by their government others are in trade and manufacturing but have often clashed with low chords especially in running small scale businesses. the military deployment is primarily to crack down on robotics but might as we'll see if the chinese against the accords. and india has a new central bank chief shocked the country that has been appointed to the top job

at the reserve bank of india after the abrupt departure of battle on monday petal side of personal reasons but his resignation follow serious disagreements with the government over monetary policy it's part of a trend that has economists worried as an increasing number of governments all over the world interfere with their central banks which are supposed to be independent the u.s. federal reserve the bank of england the european central bank the world a central banks are some of the most powerful institutions their arsenal allowing them to adjust interest rates inflation print money and shore up the economy they usually designed to be independent from political interference but is that changing . applause handshakes and backslaps aside president trump has been proved to be the biggest fan of fed chair jerome powell openly criticizing the us federal reserve's decision to raise rates on several occasions i think it is great

. that the fed is out of control i think what they're doing is wrong and they're making a mistake yes 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 vehemently 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 to tell 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 there's a global tussle over who gets the keys to their country's monetary policy. and earlier we spoke to cast and cesky of the chief economist of i n g bank we asked

him why the independence of central banks is now under threat and where the politicians should exercise more restraint and. frankly why are they on a person when you look back over the last year across. the world where they were the main crisis hiders by only starting in her policy and while also who tried to log more of her policies would also include higher interest rates only from increased borrowing costs for government. policy or government or politicians look like the quality because it also means it puts more pressure on them if you want a proper reform well to do their homework in what me the case of the government has not done their homework. and so for business i'm going to head back to film now because of the fight against climate change the clock is ticking indeed it is thank you so much i have a sense of national climate talks are currently are taking place in poland the aim

is to come up with guidelines on ways to implement the un paris climber's accord which comes into a force in comes into force in twenty twenty one of the agreements main goals is keeping the global temperature increase to below two degrees celsius by the end of this century the un says that greenhouse gas emissions are actually increasing and that if the current trend continues we may be heading for a temperature increase of three to five degrees in order to keep warm in below two degrees countries will have to cut carbon dioxide emissions by twenty five percent by twenty thirty and by twenty seventy five those emissions will need to be zero. conference in poland to their four has to come up with solutions before the end of the week the un's top science panel on climate change says poor countries will be worst affected by irreversible environmental damage brought on by climate change africa is watching closely as many countries on the continent are already feeling

the heat d.w. matter with some of the african delegates. is there more stuff when it comes to climate change in north africa we have storms in east africa days that droughts and there are floods which are said to be one of their worst in twenty five years africa needs more money. not just in lawns forms we need to grants to be able to do proper adaptation that is where we are going because the new frontier in terms of climate change is in africa. so let's take a closer look that not want to area in southern africa that's being adversely affected by climate change like chill in malawi was once full of fresh water and fish now it's driving up the lakes wars levels have been receding over the past ten years and environmental scientists estimate that ike is now sixty percent dry leaving the seven thousand people who rely on its waters desperate for an alternative source of income. what was once

a productive fishery is now mainly dry mud here at the fishing harbor on the western shores of lake there's no more haggling over the catch of the day. hundreds of boat said marooned. this man used to operate a boat taxi for people on the lakes g.c.i. island and to diminish my fairy people from cheese the island to do but the drying up of the lake has pushed my colleagues and me out of business at the moment we don't have any source of income because of the problems before the lake dried up i was able to make five thousand kwacha or more per day now we have no business because of what's happened to the lake five thousand kwacha about seven dollars but it was enough to feed his family. now his future and that after thousands of others depending on the second largest lake in malawi is uncertain.

well love would go here when young jr to the minute like the drying up of the lake has put us in an awkward situation. we had a good fish market now we're idle because there's no fish. she looked it up again i am here just to look after these facilities hoping that the lake will recover. but experts believe the lake won't recover unless the world can effectively battle climate change high temperatures are causing the already shallow lake to dry out even more. time to change contributes. to the current the research should do that we are experiencing because you're going to see that in particular there was a decision we had to make last about eighty percent over its water. the need to have that. included fifteen but not fully so again every year would be experiencing these decisions. if the water keeps receding more and more

local people will be displaced their way of life forever disrupted. the w caught up with the presence of the un climate change talks in poland we should says that while leaders are aware that countries in africa are already facing challenges caused by climate change there's still a lot of uncertainty about how to address those problems in concrete ways. one of the question is the question of finance and mobilization of finance from developed countries to developing countries in this regard the very important. call was made by the study an idea to give out see your of the world bank accounts on the first day of the club when she said the world bank would double. it's climate finance. two hundred billion dollars will be dedicated for climate finance in the coming five years

a big chunk of this money being dedicated to. and resilience. this is the daily news live from berlin still to come. and international. has ignited a public conversation africa using some media outlets of perpetuating racism against the black athletes ahead of that. as we've been hearing the most important to talks on climate change in years under way in poland the cup twenty four summit aims to save the planet by cutting carbon dioxide emissions to zero by twenty seventy five so can we really do is a new documentary out here in germany takes a look at the people who say we can't it's called climate war isn't leavitt's from d.w. culture that has been taking a look. what is different about this document today well for you know what we're really used to seeing when it comes to climate change is

a lot of doom and gloom we're actually so used to seeing it that it almost doesn't have any effect on us anymore that's where this movie climate warriors is actually a little bit different it takes a very hopeful look at the issues by focusing on the heroes the people who are pushing to get our planet to where it needs to be now the movie's director is a german activist named a fish. peace and climate activist who actually started her his career as a paratrooper in the german military before the birth of his daughter in the one nine hundred eighty s. inspired him to change has a life now in this movie he takes us around the world to give us sort of a look at what a world with renewal energies would look like and surprisingly there's a lot of focus on the united states of course the u.s. not exactly being a beacon of climate action recently. president promising to pull out of the powers agreement right exactly and yet still make a fresh not manages to show it's a very positive view of the u.s.

because he made so many activists who contradict trump including the terminator himself the former governor of california arnold schwarzenegger this is the people's issue this is an issue about creating a future generations so children and grandchildren they became be proud of there is no conservative or liberal. we all breathe the same is involved one man may have turned his back on the parents and 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. you know we'll see how that will work out. i mean most countries have basically discounted the u.s. when it comes to dealing with climate change and i think the way that the filmmaker fresh now maintains his optimism here is that he sort of looks past trump and goes

straight to the grassroots movements and even i who find this maybe a little bit too idealistic i want to join in on the optimism when i meet some of these activists specially an eighteen year old native american rapper by the name of shootout is cut martinez is one of the twenty one young people who are suing the trumpet ministration to make them act more on climate change. it is peoples and for those police. that are affected by fossil fuel extraction oil pipelines the tar sands in canada well the funny little extraction like that's off the businesspeople so to a certain extent as a business person we have been hit harder than many of places on earth but at the same time i think 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. although there's a lot of. hype on the going to. be

approved the permit to finally get cleared the way to completion of the dakota act . so like i said martinez he's one of the many so-called climate warriors who are featured in this film he's been a very articulate outspoken climate activist since the age of five or six and even if you can't see this movie because it's currently only playing here in germany you can find him rapping online and i think it's it's definitely worth it he raps about climate change of activism why wouldn't say david leavitt's thank you so much thank you for. this football star starting here in price from teammates and coaches in the wake of his comments blaming certain media for fueling racism but just a city coach pep guardiola was among supporters sterling took to social media after a game in which he allegedly faced racist abuse from chelsea supporters such abuse

he says is a parts juta the way newspapers but try young black athletes differently from what was. for him sterling as one of english football's biggest talents he was a key part of the manchester city side that won last season's premier league title . and yet many believe his success and skin color have made him a target for abuse. this is the moment chelsea fans and legit reheard racist insults at sterling during a match last weekend the incident has prompted a police investigation and that to sterling's coach pat. saying more has to be done to tackle racism is everywhere the rest the problem of the wrestling is in the area where the people focus in football is not just in full and fortunately we have to fight but a strictly for the human rights for everything to make a better society for the future with today were in danger but not here in england

everywhere absolutely everywhere sterling was why he praised tron instagram post after the incident in it he compared how the media treated two of his teammates when they bought expensive houses for family members tosin bio a black player said to have splash the cash. foden a white player seen to be taking care of his mother sterling wrote look how the newspapers get their message across for the young black player and the young white play yaar. and this is probably the first time the media has had to really fight this back from them. that i think has made the media a little bit uncomfortable the media are often fans and winks at the fans of the problem without actually taking any responsibility for themselves sterling also has the support of teammates he's a strong guy. like he's not.
