interactive content teaching the next generation doesn't want to touch it. up losing all channels available to inspire people to take action and we're determined to build something here for the next generation the idea is for the environment series of global three thousand on t w and all non. linear. this is the last damn cry for help of a whole generation feel. ya know linder is calling for better climate protection policies he's joining tens of thousands of young people all over the world the protest movement was inspired by sixteen year old political activist gratitude bag from sweden. the goal to force politicians to take action on climate change you know lindner is planning to take the protests to his small hometown of horn in

pittsburgh in northern germany and he's hoping for a big turnout. right now that i or our i. think we turn the clock back two weeks. oh my god that young owner and his friends luna and james ought to be at school right now instead they're in hamburg for their fridays for future climate strike a generation of high school students taking to the streets graded to back their role model is due to come to be on all is also looking forward to meeting her. but they got looking at the posters you can see that many are here because of climate change. they're not just wanting to skip school or see gretta obviously some just want to see gretta but most are here to call for action on the climate most of us might not have but it could be a bit louder yeah definitely. here is sixteen years old and

first got involved in the fridays for future initiative three months ago he set up a group for his district if. during the hamburg rally it's his job to report for the group's instagram account. so how's it going you're gonna school good the first story has already had thirty nine hundred views. i'm young old from put it back because i'm going to take you along to the demo in hamburg enjoy if you. wells. and initial photos documents the huge crowds the instagram account has more than fifty thousand followers all at once a photo of gratitude to post he's hoping to talk to or to my dismay that's i want to get a photo of the. guard stand around her to hold back the crowds great is a huge role model for everyone here she's been on strike every friday for more than six months now. pianola gets his

photo. and for us journalists there is a chance to squeeze in a quick interview with the young star. your impression about the some alteration here and i think it's very big and it's very very fun to be here with all these people i'm very proud to stand with the german students here because they have history become very huge gemini and i think that's very good. for the hey guys let the man through. it is to speak at the rally normally he'd have an english lessons on a friday morning now he's about to address a crowd of thousands he just has a few more seconds to study his speech then he's on. you know on good morning i'm really glad to be here. from the pretty big district it's so cool to see so many people here demonstrating for more action on climate change. it's pretty depressing how politicians are ignoring our demands.

but i promise you we can do this because we're not just another climate initiative a movement we're the last dam cry for help of a whole generation that did not feel. that you have germany's traffic policy and agricultural policy is a joke just like the german government's climate protection policy in general that's why we. here some things finally change. the smile. to one kind of everyone we're reporting live from the train and we're just on our way back from hamburg i like the demo it was amazing with nearly ten thousand people. great it was there to feel caught a glimpse of her it was great now we're even more motivated and. now we're going to berlin for the power on conferences where we'll be meeting with others from all

over germany to make plans for the future the ones mind some of the. luna young ola and james are representing their cities in the fridays for future movement. and they are certainly in demand. at his job because i had an invitation today to eat pizza with the social democrats parliamentary party leader. but i turned it down because i needed to pack up. just isn't it like being my name by you to eat a piece or is it just a discussion. it's a discussion group they always do it apparently pizza party politics with. a few months ago they were just regular school students now they're important attending conferences and rallies it's a whole new role for them or. the. time. the conference starts with a game to get to know each other.

the conference is very practical the first subject how to respond when schools don't cooperate i have just heard from the school director you've all got to stay behind after class. as there are no groups representing fridays for future all over the world in germany they're active in more than three hundred towns and villages still many. of them feel like a lone voice. in the us you know just trying the only one in our school who's even slightly motivated to do something about climate change so i'm here to take a stand. that isn't. normally the activists keep in touch through whatsapp and video conferences most of them only know each other from the internet now in small groups they discuss how to

organize the strikes and how to deal with the press and politicians they also brainstorm for new ideas. for coming up and you can easily spend an entire weekend just on this i do think you got ahead of it but you were chief of more than in several weeks' worth of what's up chats what. a few days later i visit yarnell it at home he's supposed to be doing homework for biology but fridays for a future keeps getting in the way he's preparing for the next big demo it's being organized through chat groups. since coming out of school two hours ago he's received more than seventy new messages on his phone. here in forty groups yeah that'd be my guess. i was off i got this phone in december and since then i've received one hundred nine thousand messages. in less than three months the sixteen

year old has changed from a regular teenager to a full blown environmental activist you are known as mother supports the protests but it's not always easy. you know when can we eat at five there's a telephone conference at six there's another telephone conference at seven the next one we meet he has to have ten minutes somewhere in between when he can eat with his family. feeling safe. in the last few months dinner conversations have centered largely on environmental issues. his family only buys organic food and eats meat just once a week but giving up the car has proved too difficult for the family living here in the countryside. little comedy beautifully keeps telling us it's not good and he's right that i have to drive a lot for my job and my car is bigger than it needs to be which i'm now ashamed of

but i drive forty thousand kilometers a year for my job so there's conflicting priorities. money to spend is very. preparations for the big international action day and all and his fellow activists are hoping to get five hundred students out on the streets in their small town. two hundred demonstrations have been registered throughout germany thousands of posters have been painted and posted on instagram registering the demo organizing suitable loudspeakers handing out flyers it all takes time the young activists are investing many hours of their free time and still some politicians accuse them of simply wanting to skip school. as a result of the mice and the i say that most of the students at the protests don't want to just miss school with friends and as the boys they want to do something for their future. that's what's important to them on the field of many of them have read up a lot on climate policy to find out what they can do themselves and what the politicians

need to do from a kind of what i was to retreat to. the strikes are proving a challenge for schools all over the world and young all is school virtually all the older students were missing on the last strike day they have to catch up on what they've missed but it's not marked as an absence in their school report. not all german schools are taking your relaxed approach. school director niels hold who's in understands his students' commitment and up until know the strikes have only been happening every few weeks. when the. dust nears the up a school was empty every single friday then we'd have to think about and want to do . that we would i would all get out but i think there are limits and we would have to impose some kind of sanctions so that we don't have a scenario where we only have a four day school week and we'll feel terrible. but on this friday the strike went

ahead at nine am the students gathered at the local market instead of going to school. they marched along a four kilometer route through the town and only set the pace for the school students and a number of adults too. can i ask why you joined the march. for me because my daughter has no time she's got exams coming up. if we think it's good. we've come from kind of their former teachers here we totally support it. because we're delighted that the young people are so dedicated. yes yes that's called god but i don't know i that this didn't stop at a local school and challenge the students there to join them but they're hoping to further swell the crowd. and sure enough a number of them come along. others are more interested in enjoying their break time. the set is it's mega so far it's exceeded all our expectations

and way more people than last time more people are coming from each school it's an amazing atmosphere totally awesome i just can't stop smiling right now. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh. out i'm a corker though and i just have your attention we've counted up and we have over five hundred people here that's mega you're all amazing yes i die. in the end the pain of that march reaches nearly a thousand people worldwide students and adults in one hundred twenty three countries took part in the strike marching for the climate and the future of the planet. cut the fat low fat.
