president trumps former fixer and attorney is starting a three year prison sentence today he spoke briefly to reporters as he left his home in new york this morning convicted of crimes including campaign finance violations cohen says he looks forward to sharing the truth one day he'll be in prison three years. a million species are at risk of extinction from climate change overfishing and pollution the united nations first report on biodiversity out today also tells us that this unprecedented decline in nature is calls by and is threatening you guessed it humanity here's some of the key stats from that report there are an estimated eight million animal and plant species living on our planet now this new u.n. report says that up to a million of them are now threatened by extinction which means that for example

forty percent of all known and vivian's you see right there twenty five percent of all mammals are on the brink of annihilation. across the land throughout the seeds. and way up in the sky the assault on nature by humans has reached every corner of our planet and species are now disappearing tens to hundreds of times faster than during the last ten million years some are good to put most of slipping down other to morgan freeman away train was left on the planet our need for ever more food and energy of the main drivers of this destruction and now according to the most comprehensive study ever undertaken of how human well being is dependent on the natural world the assault on the environment is threatening our very existence if we cannot hold climate change or hold the loss of biodiversity we will threaten food security we will threaten

water security we will threaten human health and therefore i think governments are now recognizing if they don't start to deal with climate change of biodiversity they call there are elements of human wellbeing they're absolutely fundamental we've changed the way we use three quarters of our land since pre-industrial times where overfishing around a third of our marine stocks we're dumping millions of tons of waste into the world's waters and global warming is already impacting the habitats of half of our mammals so nothing less than an overhaul of economic systems and a total shift in political and social mindsets will stop any of this say the report's authors business as usual is a disaster we're going to continue to trade clive we're going to continue to lose by the visit but we can have a more sustainable future if we choose the right policies and the right

technologies if we change our behavior we can have a much more sustainable future for our children and grandchildren. the publication coincides with a growing global awareness of the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss and it helps to tap into this with some key messages we haven't lost the battle yet we can be part of the solution and most importantly nature is essential for human existence. or tells to me and leaders in gaza have agreed to a ceasefire with israel it ends two days of violence the worst since the war in two thousand and fourteen israel has made no official comment on ceasefire which is calling for is but its military is allowing schools and roads in southern israel to reopen the escalation in violence began on saturday with rocket fire from militants

in gaza prompting return strikes by israel at least twenty five palestinians and four israelis have been killed. for no the violence is over but to survivors in gaza this is little comfort among the rubble. if you don't sort of . the neighbors were screaming leave quickly that we're going to bomb the building and destroy it. we took the children and we were fried we went to the neighbors in what we were wearing and then they hit the building with three warning rockets it was bombed and destroyed completely our house and all the other apartments are damaged. today marks the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan palestinians are hoping the ceasefire will hold. most of all at four thirty am they now it's to tristan i hope that the situation will calm down since then there has been not shelling from now it's calm. but it's

a fragile peace people in ashdod in israel affected by the latest violence a glance of the break in the fighting but angry at what they see is how must stick taking turns. i welcome the cease fire but again the masses set the tone i don't like it i want the state of israel to set the tone and decide what to do i don't want a terrorist organization to decide what to do for the state of israel who has such a strong army. my lawful orders watch well in a month in two weeks in a month and a half it will repeat itself again and will have achieved nothing i think the state of israel needs to strike them very very hard so they learned their lesson in new york the palestinian ambassador to the united nations welcome the cease fire and said that he hoped it would hold. what a lot of people need is not more violence and attacks against them particularly

those in gaza there have been living a miserable life as a result of the blockade for more than twelve years what they need is lifting the blockade what they need is access and movement in and outside. to live as normally as possible and what they need is protection the rocket attacks and any strikes over the weekend of the worst recent flare up in violence between the two sides that have been to war three times since two thousand and seven those who survived can only hope the current truce marks a return to a more peaceful existence. and for more now or you're joined by your own he's a journalist in tel aviv good evening to you gild so is that what we're looking at tonight is a fragile cease fire that is holding well for the time being it's holding but no one can be sure how long this will last the army has already warned the government that it's years it could even break down within

a couple of days a week in week or two or it could break out in a month or a month and a half but what everyone on both sides seems to be certain is that this is no long term solution this is just an interim a brief rest fights before violence takes up again the violence that we saw this weekend to be this was some of the fiercest violence that we have seen it in what five years i mean people were talking about the conditions of war what we saw similar to what we saw in two thousand and fourteen what made the the palestinians and the israelis pull back from the brink do you know. well in the end both sides don't want war but they want the advantages that. being the victory in a war it could bring with it but they don't want to pay the price that a war would exact from both sides so hamas is really engaging in a very dangerous game of brinkmanship trying to eke exact concessions from israel's prime minister benjamin and now knowing with fully well that netanyahu is not

interested in any escalation right now especially not before the european song contest live year instead of eve which is a gift of the decade for israel's p.r. in terms of tourism in terms of its international standing and when it is or ones these celebrations to be disrupted especially not by by hamas hamas was really playing on this was playing out at this is a very inconvenient time for israel to be engaged in a skill ation in trying to exact new concessions from it now hamas got some concessions but they will not keep hamas over the water the want to help hamas solve the dire economic problems of the gaza strip so within a very short period of time we'll see hamas and god in the gaza strip with its back up to the wall again and trying to exact new concessions from israel which israel after the e.s.c. after the your vision song contest will not be willing to give and that's why prime minister nets are now ready said that this gauge went with hamas is not and it will just it will go on in the future it will be interesting to see how this cease fire

holds between now and the european song contest it starts in less than ten days there in israel feel your will in tel aviv with the latest tonight thank you. well in the world's largest democracy voters are going to the polls in the fifth phase of india's marathon six week general election the plight of india's formers is a central issue there are more than two hundred ten million farmers many are deep in debt and that has triggered an epidemic of suicides d.w. correspondence on your phone the card takes us to the state of what their products to meet one farming family in dire straits through to put patel is an old hand at this he's been farming since he was a teenager here in eastern mud to finish throwing pulses and see real crops but these aren't particularly fields today his other friends are in the midst of the

retard assist and he's struggling with being full memories in mid march unseasonal he'll hit the neighboring district patel's own four acre farm is located in the storm battered his crops and pushed him to a mental breakdown well up on into the hail storm and it really destroyed much of the areas i borrowed money to so the crops my first thought was colored by the loan what i was shocked and lost all hope he said i couldn't think straight and i swallowed some pesticide to end my life. but taylor was rushed to hospital where he spent days recovery he still weak and thoughtless 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 patel's hopes of a bailout evaporated as the local government suspended a plan to write off farm loans after the elections the devastation to spawn was the final blow. our crops are a large line if they fail where do we get money from i know i have no source of income for the rest of the year or so i felt there was just no way out for me or i wanted to die. what patel is not an isolated case and it's not confined to states like by the british across india hundreds of deputy farmers have committed suicide over. 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 probably sing a separate budget for farmers a complete loan waiver and is vowing the criminal proceedings will not be allowed against farmers who default on their loads. nearly seventy percent of india still relies on agriculture for a living. expert say there's a lot of political rhetorical 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 agrarian 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 have come in from surrounding areas to sell the grain and vegetables the government's that

speaks 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. the hit the prices of fertilizers and seeds has gone up there's no reliable electricity to run water pumps a crops get damaged. put it to praise thomas as food give us but they do nothing for us all the benefits go to the trade up. to this little hope left the pigs will change he sees no future in farming. only he wants is for his son to find. father moved from the put into aquaculture. now. was an aviation investigators are examining the voice and data recorders of a russian airplane that they did emergency landing in moscow yesterday at least forty one people died when the plane crash landed it most kills airport the

aeroflot plane was flying to the northern city of were months when the pilot reported technical problems and then turned back a. little is left of the sukhoi superjet one hundred it seems incredible that any of it seventy eight passengers might have a live forty one people died as the plane made a hard in the did see landing at a moscow airport and some passengers documented the dramatic touchdown and the terror of those inside the sukhoi as flames engulfed the cabin this man made it out surviving passengers recollections will be crucial they could confirm whether the pilots account of why the plane crashed is accurate. he blamed lightning as the thirty's investigation continues the transport minister has ruled out grounding the sukhoi superjet and yes no it was no reason for that thank you. but the sukhoi was manufactured by state owned company so to speak under sanctions and

that makes ordering replacement parts difficult. technical malfunction is one of the most likely reasons for the crash and if that's so then this plane should be grounded. this air flight was the accident in a decade. it has left confidence in the russian flag area battered and many travelers even more worried about safety in the country's aviation industry. flown to the royal baby britain's duchess of sussex meghan markle has given birth to her first child the baby boy whose name is not yet been announced is seventh in line to the british throw they can gave birth in the early hours of monday morning delighting her husband prince harry and fans of the british monarch. just before five thirty in the morning local time meghan markle gave birth to a healthy baby boy i was.

thousands of well wishers gathered outside the castle a euphoric prince harry spoke to reporters in the afternoon and i do know that myself and a baby boy. i did this morning for a healthy boy. mother and baby during incredibly well as being the most amazing it's been because i can ever possibly imagine. how any woman does they do is beyond comprehension but with absolutely thrilled and sort of grateful to you for the love and support for what. has been enormous been amazing sort of this one as others for the body. there was plenty of speculation about the queen's aids great grandchild in the days before his birth the tabloids falsely reported the baby had already been born days ago thousands of bets were placed on the odds of a boy or girl now the guessing is over. afterwards grace reasons for the

free speech were exciting magique as much as ever yes every last bit. of. the new parents are breaking with tradition no pictures of the baby will be released for two days the couple had already announced they wanted to enjoy the first few days of their new family and privacy. for us so there will be singing voices in today's time as planned as a family to be have to share it with you guys and seven can see the baby. another thing the public will have to wait for is the baby's name harry says no decision has been made yet. of course not stop. watch your very own one correspondent short putts she is outside buckingham palace good evening so you show up to you've been right there in the to give it today. so we don't have a name for the baby we haven't seen a picture of the baby what do we actually know about this new royal.

we do know very little about this latest royal arrival because megan and harry wanted to keep a lot of things a lot of details are surrounding the quiet i mean we have seen a beaming do you suspects today of prince harry coming out and saying he was proud of his wife what she had accomplished there saying his baby weighed three point two kilos at birth and that he was born at five twenty three am but some big questions have not been answered yet and that is for example the name the big question that is is it going to be an american or a british name and as is the royal couple they're also breaking with tradition maybe picking an american name for example as a very good question the baby will is also a u.s. citizen because of its mother this new baby is. in line to the throne so how do you explain all the fuss you would think that this is the first royal baby.

yeah exactly seven in line to the throne and already the aids great grandchild of queen elizabeth and so you would think that there wasn't much excitement about it but there is a backing him palace where people have been lining up all day to see the royal birth announcement they've been taking selfies and we've seen some really die hard fans here and also tourists taking pictures with that royal birth announcement and they think that excitement also stems from this royal couple being pretty much similarities with magen being former american actress at their wedding last year we saw celebrities such as george clooney for example the actor or tennis stars serena williams attending they've been very close to the couple and we can be sure that that new. royal arrival will get a lot of attention from people around the world today we feel well wishes including

the prime minister to resign may congratulating the royal couple but also former first lady michelle obama and now the ice will really be on what is the name who are the godparents and every step of the way of this royal baby will be very closely watched very closely watched. in london thank you. you're watching the w. news live from berlin up next the day stick around for that i'll be right back.
