you know which team may twenty sixth g.w. . the but . this is coming to life from the million species at risk of extinction that's the conclusion of a landmark un report on biodiversity scientists say only a dramatic change in economic and financial systems can pull vital ecosystems back from the brink also coming up to forty one people are confirmed dead after

a russian and i now burst into flames during an emergency landing in moscow investigators say they discovered both five recorders as they try to find out what caused the disaster. and thailand's nearly crowned king dri test subjects from the balcony of bangkok's ranch palace wrapping up of the third and final day of coronation celebrations. kind of a warm welcome to you. and unprecedented decline in nature threatening humanity that's the conclusion of the first united nations report on biodiversity a million species are risk from extinction from climate change overfishing and pollution some animal populations have dropped to the dozens of a key to

a kind of poor poise which is native to waters off california is down to an estimated thirty the are more leopard native to china and russia is just down to eighty four we don't have the picture for that is a bet that you have at the leopard vultures it may not be your idea of beauty but there are a key part of the ecosystem eleven of sixteen species are at risk of extinction and the reports say that the species are dying off at an accelerating rate but there's a chance to make a difference if action is taken immediately and you an official pointing out that protecting diversity also means protecting human life on earth can you do so hop off what this report is telling us is that protecting humanity means protecting biodiversity because we human beings fundamentally depend on the diversity of life we are part of this ecosystem but we are not conscious enough of

the extent to which we benefit from it even if he is. joining me now is the ranch and he's the the abuse environment reporter as you've already read the report it sounds very serious but this first why are these particular species at risk from extinction a million of them. you're right i'm rita it's one of the most comprehensive studies of life on earth and its main finding is that a million species are at risk of extinction primarily through human activity and you can see that in the way we've treated nature around us the scientists are telling us that we've overfished oceans we've raised rain forests we've polluted waterways and poisoned add and the consequences of that is the damage to nature that is on such a scale that scientists a complete comparing of the threat to humanity on the level of climate change and i

think that's such a big finding from today's report to say that actually this is biodiversity and species loss and damage to ecosystems is something that we need to take seriously and tell us a little bit more about what is the impact of losing these species there are wide ranging impacts of losing species but one of the biggest and i think one of the one the scientists have highlighted the most in this report is on a food supply now food supply is dependent on grain crops and also in having healthy soil in which those crops grow and what we've seen is that the number of different species that are providing our crops has plunged dramatically so i think the u.n. a recent un report separate one found that nine species of plant provide two thirds of global crop but now combine that with damage that we're doing to soils the extinction of individual species such as fungus and earthworms and so on and you

have a clear picture where essentially our food system isn't necessarily going to be able to cope in the future with the damage being done to it so it sounds like that very existence is on the side of humanity is under threat by the decline of these species can anything be done and to arrest this decline. i think that's the good news that the report makes very clear that actually this is something we can change that we can turn this around and that but the problem about is that it requires what they call transformative policy change now they have listed many different areas in which they want governments to pay more attention to one aspect which they've highlighted for consumers and for people is our consumption choices and how we need to make sure that we spend we that we consume less for for starters but also that we waste less and what particular interest in on the sort of governmental

level on the broader level is that they really have made some quite radical suggestions such as saying that we need to steer ourselves away from what they call this limited paradigm of economic growth so what they're saying is that our current economic system is not really fit for fighting the loss of biodiversity that we're seeing and the consequence of that not has for us absolutely is also food for thought then that report in the dungeon did of his environment reporter thank you very much for that assessment thank you. for what the warnings in the report has to do with kreta insects try to insects such as b. s. which are essential in the pollination off crops globally they've been seeing an alarming development would be is disappearing and dying under mysterious circumstances and their fears of this could have major consequences for follow as in germany a new app could tell have

a look. how many of the apple blossoms in her orchard will be pollinated this year it's a question that fruit farmer sabine adama asks herself time and again because a northern germany as in other places many bees are dying. losing up to forty percent of a colony as a regular occurrence and those are the bees that you miss now when plants begin flowering whether it's rapeseed or fruit they're just not there. if you. don't man has turned to a new digital be sharing platform for help it brings together beekeepers and farmers on line. the bees that will pollinate down months trees arrive on a truck from the neighboring netherlands she ordered five hundred colonies. and after taking a little while to a climatized they get straight to work. platform operator. has assumed responsibility for the hard working insects it would be terrible for the startups

image if they came to harm. disease prevention is a big issue of bringing healthy bees plays a central role on the one hand on the other we have close agreements and binding regulations with the farmers to ensure the bees aren't damaged through the improper use of pesticides that could hurt or destroy them that hasn't happened yet. so far galba has registered over a thousand beekeepers on his platform the bees cost sixty euros per deployment so did they get the job done. we're lucky because our orchard is pretty far away from other orchards like it so we thought about it and decided to take a chance on it to give it a shot and see how things go and so far the cooperation has gone very well we haven't been disappointed. on this the most important one. the beekeepers get to

keep the honey it's still early days for the be sharing business in germany but there is potential demand for hundreds of thousands of common among farmers all over the country beast for hire could help improve harvests of all kinds of produce and at the same time provide their owners with a great source of income. now this is news and gaza have agreed to a cease fire with israel in doing two days of violence that threatened to turn into conflict now israel has not officially commented on the cease fire but its military has allowed schools and roads in southern israel to reopen so residents can return to their daily lives and the since the agreement was restrictive appears to be holding with nor rocket fire or israeli strikes reported the escalation in violence began on saturday fire from militants in gaza prompting return strikes by israel at least twenty three palestinians and four israelis were killed.

to add to russia at least forty one people have been killed as a russian plane burst into flames during an emergency landing at moscow's sheremetyevo airport on the aeroflot plane was flying to the northern city of months when the planet reported technical problems and turned back. little is left of the sukhoi superjet one hundred. a look at the aircraft charred carcass makes it hard to believe any of the seventy eight passengers on flight fourteen ninety two made it out to life. forty one people died in the fire that engulfed the plane after a violent emergency landing at moscow's sheremetyevo airport. some passengers documented the dramatic touchdown and the panic that broke out on board when the flames started to close in. as many survivors remain hospitalized the reason for the disaster is still unclear. or already

a criminal case was initiated regarding the emergency landing of the aircraft a chair in the port the sheremetyevo state commission of inquiry into emergency situations spearheaded by the minister of transport is working at the airport. but that is just a few. national authorities have started inspecting the wreckage for clues the crew issued a distress signal shortly after takeoff the pilot survived the crash and says lightning forced him to initiate the fatal emergency landing. but bad weather isn't the only factor investigators are focusing on after recovering the aircraft's to flight recorders human error and technical malfunction are still being seen as possible causes for aeroflot deadliest accident in over a decade. for the very latest joining me is a correspondent from moscow bureau and really the investigation into the crash has

started but although the initial thoughts on what caused the accident. well the russian investigative committee has laid out what it thinks could be some possible reasons for the accident though they are still quite broad at the moment they've said that it could be that the pilots or the air traffic controllers or the technicians who checked the plane before it took off may not have been qualified enough they also cite the possibility that the plane could have been defective or that there could have been bad weather there have been reports that the plane may have been hit by lightning while it was in the air now the investigative committee says that it is currently investigated investigating several black boxes as well as audio recordings from the plane and c.c.t.v. so we'll have to wait and see whether one of those versions. comes out as the

dominant one of the speeches off that plane in flames a hugely shocking what has been the reaction among people to this accident while there absolutely has been huge shocks at this accident with so many victims president vladimir putin has expressed his condolences and has called for a meticulous investigation into the accident the families of the victims will be receiving compensation and the region of more months which is where the flight was actually going when it crash landed. also has now declared three days of mourning and that's the people that i just spoke to outside of. the rail a rail station which is where air airplane express trains take off to go to shooting meta said that they were hugely shocked some people even said they were they were kind of scared to fly now and of course this is also been a hugely emotional discussion on social media as well and reach and many questions

being asked about the safety of the sukhoi superjet them they have been technical problems with this plane before haven't there. yes absolutely there have been and according to russian media reports today there have been as many as eight technical issues and accidents in the past year alone went to involving that the specific plane but what you have to understand is that this plane is kind of political it was the first new civilian aircraft that was launched in two thousand and eleven the first new civilian aircraft launched after the soviet union the russian government has even been subsidizing the sale of these planes but it hasn't been a very popular model among airlines even among russian airlines in part to do with the fact that there have been some technical issues now we don't know of course at this point whether this accident has to do with the plane but it's clear that this

will be a huge blow to the refuse a reputation of the superjet the savoy superjet one hundred and as well and also to air traffic and air can air excuse me the aviation industry and russia on the whole and michelin indeed these moscow thank you so much for that. let me not bring you up to give it some other stories making news around the global equities have nosedived but china says it's still heading to washington for the final stretch of trade talks u.s. president dollar trump has announced he'll increased out of sa on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods if he does not get the deed he wants. the united states is deploying a carrier strike group and bombers to the middle east to send out what it calls a clear and unmistakable message to iran it's the latest in a series of moves aimed at rationing up pressure on if they run a year after washington be drew from the nuclear accord. pope francis is in

polling day spread across different regions in the country now the election guidelines to plead voters should not have to travel more than two kilometers to cast their ballot so one million polling stations have been set up across the country to reach voters even and the most remote parts of the country at the end of the six week of voting period the. also we announced on the twenty third of may one of the major issues in the campaign is farmers distress nearly seventy percent of people in india depend directly or indirectly on agriculture they've been angry protests against falling crop prices as well as mounting debt our correspondence on your finally went to the state of mother for this to see how this issue is playing out in the election through the patel is an old hand at this he's been farming since he was a teenager here in east of mother british throwing pulses and see real crops but

these aren't fields today he's other friends in the midst of the wheat harvest and he's struggling with evil memories in mid march unseasonal he'll hit the neighboring district with patel's own four acre farms located in the storm battered crops and pushed him to a mental break down. the hailstorm completely destroyed my troubles and i had borrowed money to sell the crops my first thought was how will i repay the loan i was shocked i couldn't think straight i swallowed some pesticides in my life. but tell was rushed to hospital where he spent days recovery he still weak and suffers from frequent dizziness and nausea. he's not sure when he can work again. at the beginning of the year but tell took a bank loan of over two thousand five hundred euros to buy seeds and fertilizers

rent a tractor and hire a farm hand he also borrowed from money lenders to cover his family's expenses. the debt burden kept growing. the. most a crops are lifeline if they fail we do we get money from i now have no source of income for the rest i felt there was just no way out for me i wanted to die it was only. what patel is not an isolated case and it's not confined to states like by the british across india hundred the deputy farmers have committed suicide over the years the agrarian crisis is a major issue in the ongoing indian election with all political parties trying to woo farmers. on the outskirts of the opposition congress party is

holding a campaign rally its leader to hold gandhi is promising a separate budget for farmers a complete loan waiver and his borrowing the criminal proceedings will not be allowed against farmers who default on their loans. nearly seventy percent india still relies on agriculture for a living. expert say there's a lot of political rhetoric around this huge voting bloc. but little will to tackle the underlying crisis what india needs to do what political parties need to do is to go into the root of the a gradient crisis on how farmers and farming can become the crucial engine of economic growth in india that's where the solution is. for now there's no sign of that at the local wholesale market farmers that come in from surrounding areas to sell the grain and vegetables the government sets fixed prices for certain commodities to incentivise production but farmers here say they're not getting

those prices. the overriding view here is that farming simply isn't viable. for patel to there's little hope left the things will change he sees no future in farming. all he wants is for the sun to find a job far removed from the precarious world of agriculture. not its hands capital bangkok where newly crowned king of the g.d.r. non-con has greeted his subjects from the balcony of the grand palace thousands of people lined the streets around the grand palace to try and catch a glimpse of the newly crowned monarch now the crowds began gathering early in the morning in the blazing heat this event wraps up three days of elaborate coronation ceremonies for the king celebrations follow a period of official mourning for his father who died in two thousand and sixteen after having. the mana for seventeen year olds and joining me now is the
