you didn't seem to take it as grandma damn you it's all that. i might show join me to meet the gentleman from your. post. this is the dubliners line from berlin a billion species that risk of extinction that's the conclusion of a landmark un report on biodiversity humans rely on these i ecosystems to survive in the scientists and that only a dramatic change in our economic and financial systems compel them back on the brink also on the program an unofficial cease fire brings an end to the deadly outburst of violence between israel and gaza how long will the peace hold the fist

time. it's been. the most amazing it spring break ins regular group possibly imagine it's a boy. wife meggan the duchess of sussex britain's latest. i'm still going to welcome to the program. a million species are at risk of extinction from climate change overfishing and pollution united nations' first report on biodiversity also tells us that this unprecedented decline in nature is caused by and is threatening humanity some animal populations have dropped to the dozens that the key to a kind of porpoise native to the waters of california is down to an estimated thirty the are more leopards native to china and russia is down to about eighty

four and the vultures may not be your idea of beautiful they are a key part of the ecosystem and eleven out of sixteen species are at risk of extinction according to the us reporter even those species are dying out fast and we can make a difference if action is taken immediately is the chief u.n. expert on biodiversity sir robert watson talking to t.w. . i hope this rings alarm bell with governments around the world the private sector around the world and individuals and this is why a call for action equally we need a call for action on climate change we need to do much more to address the issue of climate change we need to transform the way we produce energy we need clean energy renewable energy and we need to use our energy much more efficiently so i'm hoping that this message is now is the time for action if not we're going to degrade the future for our children and our grandchildren. that's the head of the u.n.

science panel for biodiversity surat what's an escape more on this from g.w. the environment reporter niranjan welcome agit we've been seeing species in decline for decades so what's new about today's report. this report is the most comprehensive study ever undertaken on life on this planet and i think the key finding that come out with it that not only have human nature but that damage to ecosystems is hurting us in turn and so they've found that by doing things like raising forests and overfishing oceans polluting waterways and poisoning the air that what humanity has done is actually jeopardized our ability to take care of the systems that underpin our survival we're talking about systems like our ability to get food and to feed the planet to drink clean water and even things like ending

poverty so you can you outline a future there which is horrific but why off how do you therefore convince city dwellers in downtown beijing why should they care if a species a vulture somewhere in india becomes extinct. it's an important question and i think what people need to realize is that biodiversity is vast and that means that ecosystems are very complex and the decline of any single species can have enormous knock on effects on other species in the future in for instance if you look at us soils the decline of a single. earthworm or type of funky that is used to actually clean the soil and replenish it and break down organisms into nutrients that plants can take up such things like that can have massive impacts on crop production and so you can see that urban dwellers in cities far away from where the sort of devastation is

taking place these can actually be hugely impacted through for instance the global food system by the decline in biodiversity and that's what scientists are trying to warn us about and to take more seriously now the report says that the window of opportunity is closing so who needs to do what and when the simple answer that everybody needs to try harder on this the scientists are warming not just governments to make clear policy changes and by which they mean really transformative policy changes but they also have talked about how everyone needs to think about say reducing consumption reducing food waste and really taking on board that the damage that we do to the planet will come back to hit us and already is doing so so we're seeing that something like i think three quarters of the land and two thirds of our water systems have already been severely altered by human action

and we need to start taking responsibility for that and making changes to avoid that getting worse. thank you thank you. one of the report's warnings concerns a threat to crop pollinating insects like bees the global b. population alarming decline. disappear and die under mysterious circumstances which could have major consequences for farmers and crop yields but a new up developed in germany could help 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're an iron

dome on 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 neverland's she ordered five hundred colonies. and after taking a little while to a climatized they get straight to work. platform operator nails galba has assumed responsibility for the hard working insects it would be terrible for the startups image if they came to harm. the cause of disease prevention is a big issue of bringing healthy babies 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 do 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 that be sharing business in germany but there is potential demand for hundreds of thousands of comedies 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 own ors with a great source of income. now to some of the other stories making news around the

world the united states is deploying a carrier strike group and barbers to the middle east have said what it calls a clear and unmistakable message to iran it's the latest in a series of there's a bit increasing pressure on terror a year after washington withdrew from the iran nuclear deal. spain's caretaker prime minister has held talks with conservative leader public assad and it's the first of his meetings with opposition politicians in his efforts to form a government such as his socialist party won last week's national elections but fell short of a majority will need the support of other parties to stay in power. united nations says it has gained access to grain silos in yemen's port city of david for the first time in months of fighting made the storage facility inaccessible last year it may hold enough weight to feed hundreds of thousands in the water and country. and palestinian leaders in gaza have agreed a cease fire with israel ending two days of violence a threat to turn into all out war israel has made no official comment on the cease

fire but its military has allowed schools and roads in southern israel to reopen so that residents can resume their daily lives the escalation in violence began on saturday with rocket fire from militants in gaza prompting the turn strikes by israel at least twenty three palestinians and four israelis have been killed. for now the violence is over but the survivors in gaza there is little comfort among the rubble. here on salazar the neighbors were screaming at us leave quickly they were going to bomb the building industry. it. took the children and we were afraid we went to the neighbors with what we were wearing and then they hit the building with three warning rockets and it was bombed and destroyed completely our 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 in israel affected by the latest violence i glad of the break in the fighting but to angry at what they see as hamas dictating terms . i welcome the ceasefire but again i must say that the time 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 so 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. in the year in. the rocket attacks and asterix over the weekend 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. investigators are examining the flight and data recorders of a russian and a plane that made. in moscow yesterday at least forty one people died when the plane crash landed at moscow's sheremetyevo airport the on a float plane was flying to the northern city of manske when the pilot reported technical problems and turned back. little is left of the project one hundred.

a look at the aircraft's chart carcass makes it hard to believe any of the seventy eight passengers on flight fourteen ninety two made it out alive. 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 thought the already in the criminal case was initiated regarding the emergency landing of the aircraft at sheremetyevo airport the sheremetyevo state commission of inquiry into emergency situations spearheaded by the minister of transport is working at the airport. but that is just because. 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 see a 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. ok to be correspondent i want to share with in moscow has been monitoring this story i'm 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. on this report is the first in a new series looking at the big issues concerning the german public on the first of digital technology. the world gives out to install five g. mobile networks some part of germany are still struggling with old versions a quarter of the country doesn't even have access to a three g. network yet that's putting the country thirtieth in the world in terms of connectivity compare that with south korea and the united states or coverage is almost one hundred percent. correspondent kate brady began her journey to gauge the german public's mood and the network she found out how important it is for rural communities to get and stay connected. for the first leg of my journey i'm leaving behind for villa bought essen in the german countryside. once

a world leader in industry an innovation when it comes to digitalize ation germany is lagging far behind. despite the impending arrival of five technology hearings having me for some parts of the country especially in the countryside people are still dreaming of networks and a reliable internet connection let's not forget it wasn't so long ago the german chancellor angela merkel hisself was describing the internet as new territory. agriculture is just one industry feeling the effects of germany's digital shortcomings like air envelop when network dead zones are a common occurrence for farmers like olaf's pic. by using g.p.s. signals the structure has the capacity to drive itself autonomous and cover the exact same route and the exact same tracks taken on previous days.

with an audio period. you hear shows how good reception is you have to imagine it's like when you get l t three g. you're on your phone the higher these numbers become the worse the reception gets right now as we stand we can. one centimeter accuracy into the dog annoys her. but when the signal fails things go a little off plan and the tractors wheels veer off course. which means wasted resources and expenditure for farmers. what's most important here for these farmers is per se asian and making sure that they can farm with exact signals and make a show 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 banhart 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 standards. here are still bullet issuance mr standish 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 best movie 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.

tennis stefan lost at sea past his french oh preparations by winning the war torn a mint in portugal it's a past scene here at the bottom of the screen the couple quaver us in straight sets but it was quite us who claimed the shot of the day with this incredible between the legs dropshot safe passage or a surprising run of this year's first. grand slam the australian open back in january this was the first clay court title of his career. i was six and. it will try again to break the two hour barrier in the marathon later this year the kenyan tried to break that time a couple of years ago like last time his latest effort will not count as an official time and that's led to accusations that this is just a publicity stunt for him and the events chief sponsor. know where the marathon runner comes close to elliott could choke the current world record holder by some margin and last month he won

a record fourth london marathon with the second fastest time in history but even the softly spoken kenyan has struggled to break through the events ultimate beriah a sub two hour marathon the circuit is trusting on. the circuit it is believing in myself that they can and it. actually is to give a political. case been here before at the monza race car track in italy two years ago he missed breaking the two hour mark by twenty six seconds back then because he used the rotating pacemakers and had drinks delivered to him on skates is the time couldn't be officially recognised similar techniques will apply in his latest attempt likely to be held in september or october in london it's being backed by the billionaire gym rat with britain's richest man. environmentalist's recently accused him of greenwashing after his petrochemicals

company in your sport pro cycling team sky critics of the south two hour marathon attempt also smell a p.r. stunt radcliffe is. probably gracious. in. the fall. with you know the world's overproduce. it is the only man in the world and right to sit in a question for ever has been frankly. p.r. stunts or serious attempts at human endeavor to keep joe gable this time be boosted by a large crowd cheering him all the way something organizers hope will make all the difference. britain's duchess of sussex the american market has given birth to her first baby a boy and he seventh in line to the british throne her husband prince harry said the duchess gave birth in the early hours of monday morning new parents haven't yet announced a name but harry said he was overjoyed to become a father. and myself out of baby boy. this morning

a very healthy boy. mother and baby to incredibly well has been. the most amazing it's been because i could never possibly imagine. how any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension but obviously rose and sort of grateful to you for the love and support for everybody out there somebody out there has been and it's been amazing so it was when you share this with a very. straight to london then we have a joint interview our correspondent charlotte potts welcome charlotte so it's a boy town a small. well the anticipation surrounding this relate to us royal arrival has been huge ever since the couple announced first in last october their pregnancy and now we've seen today beaming very happy prince harry addressing the press he said that the baby was born in the early hours of may six of this

morning on a bank holiday here in england and she said that the baby was seven point three pounds three point two kilos heavy that it was a healthy baby boy a really happy prince harry there who would not reveal the names but said that mother and baby were healthy and very very happy so this latest addition to the royal family is only seventh in line to the throne yet there's been all this excitement around why. you know right so seventh a line to the throne it's the great grandchild of queen and the best but a lot of excitement surrounding his birth and a lot of excitement around the parents of this baby meghan and harry and this comes from this incredible love story that is pretty much out of a romance novel him being of course the british princess and her being an

american actress the two of them seven love they had a huge wedding on the grounds of windsor the home of the queen where celebrities from george clooney to tennis star serena williams attended so this baby will most certainly get a lot of attention and they're big questions surrounding this baby of course what is going to be the name who is going to be the godfather of the got mother how will this baby be raised where will they go to school so all these questions are going to be absent at some point of course and for now though the couple really wants to keep this arrival private they want to celebrate and private with meghan's mom being there. on the grounds of windsor and the couple celebrating that arrival i'm quite a departure from tradition no no royal hospital like they had as a home and no sort of traditional announcement. exactly so we

don't know exactly where this birth happened if it indeed happened at college at the cottage sorry at the home of megan and terry there on the grounds of windsor this is in comparison for example to kate and william the future king and queen. of course every time they had the babies three babies so far it went immediately out after and showed the baby to the press so this is definitely not the tradition what harry and meghan are doing but harry said that they will show the baby to the public and a couple of days time so in two days we will see that baby and see that glooming couple probably on the grounds of windsor and out of there if you've been able to see from where from where you are. looking at the coverage of there being any other royal business as yet. so far we haven't heard about any official royal visitors yet we've heard that the prime minister theresa may has sent their congratulations of course the queen has sent her congratulations in

private lots of tourists gathering around wins and lots of well wishes that putting flowers on cots around the grounds there are lots of royal experts on their way to to to windsor to cover the story so a lot of excitement here. around this new arrival this latest royal baby i shall of course in london thank you. eyes are wide of the top stories this hour a long walk you over for some fire diversity has more than a million species around the world at risk of extinction and it's only a dramatic change or not economic or financial systems composed ecosystems back from the brink. israel and hamas agreeing to cease fire all of them we can divide us in gaza that claimed lives on both sides was the worst escalation there since the twenty fourteen gaza war. on the british royal family has welcomed its newest arrival prince harry just wife of meghan the duchess of sussex announced the hot
