conference welcome to the doubly why is this proving so difficult thank you. there's so much going on in this it's very it's a it's a very very hard issue it's unprecedented the nature of the issue but i think we have to recognize that there's some very powerful vested interests as well very very powerful economic and national interests governments of singularly failed in the past that he has to deliver but we also have to recognize that most governments in certain democratic countries can only go so far as but there's a popular and public mandate and the truth is they haven't been given that money by the end of the strong pressure from home to deliver on this this is not a key issue suddenly action on top of the money actually climate change isn't the key issue in the elections and i think it's behold on us as members of civil society to get out there and something happens of course i fear we're just going to go round and round in circles for other office ok so let's take a closer look that scientists are clear about how urgent it is to take action on

climate change and what could happen if we don't so is a look at some of the synonymous we could be facing. life on earth is at the mercy of the forces of nature even a rise of two degrees celsius in the global average temperature would have irreversible consequences scenario one could disappear. the glaciers would continue to melt causing the sea level to rise by as much as a whole metre by the end of the century. coastal cities and islands could be devastated if severe flooding becomes the norm. to illustrate the threat they're facing the maldives government held a cabinet meeting underwater.
9:05 pm
a severe typhoon to hit japan this year where almost half of the population lives in coastal regions. scenario two food shortage. rising temperatures caused in sixty eight more crops harvests are often destroyed by heavy rainfall after a drought which washes away the mineral rich soil. if this pattern continues food could become scarcer and prices would rise. scenario three diseases. in the arctic circle is bearing the brunt of climate change and the permafrost where bacteria can live dormant for thousands of years is thawing deadly agents and animal carcasses such as anthrax have recently made their way into water and soil. in warmer temperatures microbes that can transmit
9:06 pm
diseases thrive malaria dengue fever and other tropical infections could spread to areas previously unaffected scientists warn that humankind is on the brink of runaway climate change then maybe we will have to follow the advice of astrophysicist stephen hawking and find a new home. about to george michael george marshall from climate outrage delicates this conference no. this is widely known science aside that this is what's likely to happen. so one wonders if the impasse is cause because while we'll think this is going to be somebody else's problem it's not in our least in someone else's time. i think on sesame happening it is we have a tendency to distance all cells from this for thirty years people in opinion polls being saying they think this is a huge problem for the future well as we're seeing the futures. i guess i would i'd like to appeal to the people watching this program to recognize that this is the
9:07 pm
biggest issue of all times and but ultimately the responsibility for this is going to lie with ourselves the money that change happens and also doing everything we can in our lives in my own country in britain we are the in top political system is paralyzed because of what of bricks which in the in the long run is going to be irrelevant almost all of the political and social issues of all time of going to in the long run in long term perspective going to be irrelevant because of this emerging crisis and we have to we have to give it a priority in the recognition it deserves the problem is with every bad news will be received as even a strong tendency to deny and people find it hard to recognize the sheer scale of this but we are out of time so given the pass what is the best that you think we can hope to come out of this this cult meeting. well there's a lot that's happening which is going beyond governments so industries rapidly moving towards the electrification of transport i see buses being very positive we
9:08 pm
are very rapidly moving out of coal fired electricity and moving towards renewables the high seas being very positive there's a lot of action being taken with us. all and at the state level so even if the u.s. for example is pulled out all trying to pull out there's lots of other action going all the main things i would like to see happen is first of all that collectively politically in industry we have to stop expanding new fossil fuels which we're leading cause of a problem so we have to stop producing oil and coal and that starts we have to have an immediate suspension on investment in the development of new oil and coal reserves the second thing is i think we have to recognize as a collective silence for thirty years we have to stop talking about it ok the majority really don't talk climate one yet fact here george marshall i found a climate outreach thanks so much for our listeners that i guess in poland trying to thrash a deal the next generation is getting impatient his remarkable fifteen year old who
9:09 pm
sense that adults responsible for climate change must do more. to say that they. have. an impassioned plea to save our planet made by unlikely activists the students have quit the class from to go on strike at the co-op twenty four climate summit. their inspiration teenage activist krista too bad. that we would have to. live with the mess that the older generations have created we would have suited up for them and that is not . tuned greg you lou takes time off to call for action on climate change. the swedish fifteen year old is a symbol of a generation too young to vote this is true but hungry for change. isn't usually too few years we do need hope of course we do the wrong thing we need
9:10 pm
more than hope this action. that's why turn back isn't pearland for the climate summit thing you have written and i think you mean children should get angry and that we should make our voices heard because it makes the whole being told the generations accountable for what they have raised. that anger is palpable less clear is whether the grownups are listening. you know. to breakfast versus prime minister teresa mayes insisting that the european union can do more to help. deal to her country's parliament despite her counterparts in brussels ruling out any renegotiation of the agreement that took nearly two years to reach european

dispute between us and china because we have seen it already in the third quarter that companies really have a lot of you have problems when it comes to those terror does cost them a lot of money which of course is not good for profitability and also the share prices were why the insolvency administrator of germany's defunct air berlin is suing its former largest shareholder etihad airways for two billion euros suit alleged to go through airline failed to live up to its financial obligations by withdrawing funding for air berlin it had pulled on funding in august of last year forcing the airline to file for bankruptcy two months later he had said the claim was without merit. despite widespread fear that migrants coming to germany wouldn't be able to find jobs some four hundred thousand of them actually have found a workplace here that's according to the head of the german employers association
9:25 pm
these figures suggest that germany has been more successful at integrating new arrivals than many thought so is the refugee crisis an exaggeration we did some number crunching for. migrants on a work training course they're being taught skills needed on the german job market twenty fifth of a one million people have come to germany many of them still left the qualifications and language abilities needed to find work. two hundred eighty nine thousand refugees have managed to enter full employment while another seventy two thousand have part time work and another thirty one thousand are in training. the employment rate among received by grants is only thirty two percent compared to the figures for german nationals this is low on the list representatives from the governing parties say that germany's refugee policy
9:26 pm
has functioned well. it's a success let about four hundred thousand migrants to germany have found employment although they started off with little or no knowledge of the german language and didn't have professional qualifications. it shows how many people are needed in the workforce and how urgently a german business is looking for employees. to part with it always good when we highlight integration success stories because people don't automatically do that it's positive to talk about examples of success behind them is always the hard work of the people and the businesses themselves. the topic of migration has come to dominate debates in the german parliament the bundestag right wing populist d. party seizes every opportunity to criticize large scale immigration to germany the leader of the f.t. says the increasing numbers of migrants in jobs don't tell the real story. we are
