the but. this is deja news coming to you live from berlin a million species at risk of extinction and that's the conclusion of a landmark un report on biodiversity scientists say only a dramatic change in economic and financial systems can pull the ecosystems the humans rely on back from the brink also coming up forty one people are confirmed dead after a russian airliner burst into flames during an emergency landing in moscow investigators say they've recovered both flight data recorders as they try to find

out what caused the disaster. and a cease fire to end the deadly outburst of violence between israel and gaza but no official announcement we go to jerusalem. and unprecedented decline in nature caused by threatening humanity and that's the conclusion of the first united nations report on biodiversity a million species added risk of extinction from climate change overfishing and population some animal populations have drops to the dozens the via keita a kind of poor choice native to the waters off california is down to an estimated thirty the allure leopard native to china and russia is down to only about eighty

four now vultures may not be your idea of beauty but they're a key part of our ecosystem eleven of sixteen species are at risk of extinction the report says that the species are dying off at a faster rate but there is a chance to make a difference if action is taken immediately and you an official's are 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 and he's. joining me now is the ranch and he's the the abuse environment reporter and 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 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. 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 as seriously and tell us a little bit more about what is the impact of losing these species there are a wide ranging impacts of losing species but one of the biggest and i think one of

the one that 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 u.n. 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 soil 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 the very existence is on the side of humanity is under threat by the decline of these species can anything be done into a rest as

a 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 want to keep things on the sort of governmental level on the broader level if 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 and one of the warnings in the report has to do with the threat to insects such as be which are essential in the pollination of crops gill believe you've seen an alarming development with bees disappearing and dying under mysterious circumstances and their fears that this could have major consequences for farmers in germany a new app good tell. 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 rape seed or fruit they're just not there. if you.

don't mind has turned to a new digital be sharing platform for help it brings together beekeepers and farmers on line. the bees that will pollinate dull 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 that these 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 they. were 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. and pushed on. 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. to the middle east now palestinian leaders in gaza have

agreed to a cease fire with israel ending two days of violence that threatened to turn into all out conflict 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 resume their daily lives and the escalation in violence began on saturday with druck at fire from militants in gaza trying to retaliate three strikes by israel not least twenty three palestinians and four israelis have been killed. the violence is over but the survivors in gaza there is little comfort among. neighbors was screaming out quickly they were going to bomb the building and destroy it. we took the children and we were afraid we went to the neighbors with wearing and then they hit the building with three warning rockets and it was bombed and destroyed completely house and all apartments are damaged.

today marks the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan palestinians are hoping the ceasefire will hold. at four thirty am they announced a truce and i hope that the situation will calm down following this time there's been no shelling for now it is calm. but it's a fragile peace people in ashdod and israel affected by the latest violence i glad of the break in the fighting but to angry at what they see as hamas stick to. i welcome the ceasefire but again. i don't like it i want the state of israel to set the tone and decide what to do not that a terror organization will decide what to do for the state of israel if you have such a strong army. in

a month in two weeks and a month and a half it will repeat itself again and we achieve nothing i think the state of israel needs to strike them a very very hard so that they learn their lesson. on the other side of the divide the palestinian prime minister also reacted strongly condemning the israeli airstrikes what. the government calls on the united nations to intervene immediately to stop the aggression and prevent its possible renewal and to provide international protection for our people in the gaza strip the government says that the international community cannot be silent against the crimes of the israeli occupation against civilians. the rocket attacks and as strikes over the weekend or the worst recent flare up in violence between two sides that have been to war three times since two thousand and seven those who survived can only hope the current truce marks return to a more peaceful existence. a case forty one people have been killed after a russian plane burst into flames during an emergency landing at moscow's

sheremetyevo airport on the air a float plane was flying to the northern city of moore landscape when the pilot reported technical problems and turned back a. little is left of the bridge at one hundred. a look at the aircraft's charred carcass makes it hard to believe any of the seventy eight passengers on flight fourteen ninety two made it out a 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 flame started to close in. as many survivors remain hospitalized the reason for the disaster is still unclear. or already in the criminal case was initiated regarding the emergency landing of the aircraft a chinaman. the state commission of inquiry into emergency situations spearheaded

by the minister of transport is working at the airport but that us government is the transport 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 and over a decade. and on any show when. that story and she sent us this update. this crash comes as a huge shock to russians the more months region where the plane was heading has declared three days of mourning for the victims russian president vladimir putin

has expressed his condolences and has called for a detailed investigation but this crash will also be a huge blow to the russian aviation industry the sukhoi superjet one hundred was the pride of the industry in two thousand and eleven when it was launched its the first plane that was designed for civilian use after the fall of the soviet union and now this tragic accident will tarnish its reputation. that was. when in moscow they've been having to defend some of the stories making news around the bus . but the united states is deploying a carrier strike group and bombers to the middle east to send what it calls a clear and unmistakable message to iran is the latest in a series of moves aimed at the vet's sting of pressure on the head on a year after washington biju from the nuclear accord. pope francis is in bulgaria on the second day of his balkans tour he's urge people not to be indifferent to the

president trumps latest comments he's threatening additional talents and chinese imports only days before a chinese delegation is expected in washington for a possible final round of negotiations chinese vice premier you he says he still travel to the u.s. but shorten his trip to one day. markets across asia panicked hong kong and shanghai plunged fearing the terms tweet could backfire on the talks but then a statement from beijing will do. what i can tell you here is that the china. these team is preparing to go to the united states for a consultation ten rounds of talks have been conducted and positive progress has been made i think it is imperative that the u.s. and china work together to achieve mutually beneficial and we can win agreements on the basis of mutual respect. and you don't all signs had been pointing to a resolution to the us china trade war last week's negotiations in beijing went

smoothly with signs a deal would be hammered out when the two sides met in washington but then a new bombshell from president trump delivered by twitter tariffs on chinese goods would go up to twenty five percent beginning friday and that led to fears the talks could be called off altogether. i believe. you completely but those fears proved unfounded with some chinese even sympathizing with trump's newest tariffs. china's own industrial protection is also very strict such as on cars a similar car selling for twenty thousand dollars in the u.s. is selling for one hundred thousand dollars in china and i think that's unfair for the people here the new tariffs will have

a big impact on our daily lives but i think we should be more open. so for now it looks like china is taking trump's tweet in stride and the talks are still on. well the world is gearing up to install five she networking technology but here in germany some parts of the country have difficulty accessing older technology a next report is the first of a series from germany's heartlands in which our correspondent kate brady has been finding out what's on people's minds the five g. network technology is just one aspect of communication in which many is playing catch up as look at this graph a quarter of germany doesn't even have access to the considerably older three g. network technology ranking the country courteous in the was compared that to south korea in the u.s. where coverage is all more at one hundred percent the our correspondent kate began her journey around germany's networked dead zone and found out just how important

it is for rural communities to get and to stay connected. for the first leg of my journey i'm leaving behind. s. and in the german countryside. once a leader in industry an innovation when it comes to digitalize ation germany is lagging far behind. despite rival of five. some parts of the country especially in the countryside. that were reliable in. territory. agriculture is just one industry feeling the effects of germany's digital shortcomings like air and fell about as well networked dead zones are

a common occurrence for farmers like pick. by using g.p.s. signals the structure has the capacity to drive itself autonomous the uncover the exact same route and the exact same tracks taken on previous days. and would say this value here shows how good reception is you have to imagine it's like when you get l.t.e. three g. you're on your phone the higher these numbers become the worse the reception gets right now as we stand we can work with one centimeter accuracy into the bargain noise. but when the signal fails things go a little off plan and the tractors wheels they're off course. which means wasted resources and expenditure for farmers. was most important here for these farmers is per se asian and making sure that they can farm with exact signals and making sure

that these signals are even available in the first place so that they can work more precisely and efficiently to make sure that they don't waste any use of the land. farm owner ban had flyhalf on vice is holding the german government to its pledge of nationwide high speed internet by twenty twenty five and five g. mobile internet the political loser. here still politicians mr stablished these standards across the board network operators who can provide five g. standards must be obliged to make this internet connection available not only in the densely populated high revenue regions but also in the countryside where the turnover is low. probably. ok story. the german government has now promised plenty of measures to at least get germany on the way when it comes to digitalize ation but now the question is whether those measures can really be

implemented in time to make sure that germany has any. chance at all of becoming a digital tech giant. and i'm jeff and kate pretty tomorrow on the next episode of that series now for some sports and the bundesliga starting with an extraordinary match that so live a close an overwhelmed frankfurt six one result live across an eleven with frankfurt in the vassal for the fourth and final spot in next season's champions league tournament. leverkusen wasted little time opening the scoring in their clash for europe against frankfurt. one nil from chi however it's after just two minutes . the hosts kept up the torrid pace with you man but on finishing up a neat bit of team play to double the lead a lead in minutes later. i trained part responded immediately with the only thing todd deflecting for the cost of his effort into the net to make it a game. that was until leverkusen opened the floodgates ten minutes later lucas
