in the mideast the planes were in the air the battleships in position but at the last minute present donald trump decided against going through with military strikes against iran he said the likely death toll would have been too high and not a proportionate response to the downing of an unmanned spy drone yesterday. the new york times described it as the moment of truth when u.s. president donald trump decided to hold the military offensive with just minutes to spare in a flurry of tweets on friday trump said he called off the attack after a general told him 150 people could die. the president said he thought the death toll would not be proportionate for the shooting down of the unmanned u.s. drone. in tehran on friday the iranian military presented what they said were pieces of the drone an r.q. for a global hawk reconnaissance craft iran says it has irrefutable evidence that the
10:03 pm
$120000000.00 drone had pushed into iranian airspace. from what is long gone be a slam at republic of iran strongly condemns this provocation and any use of force because of this aggressive act we have complained to the united nations there would be a slow me down my comic one of. the usa denies this but pentagon says the drone was shot down in international waters and has released this video as evidence for its claim in the face of escalating tensions with iran u.s. democrats urged president trump to show restraint. the president may not intend to go to war here but we're worried that he and the administration may bumble into a war. all right let's get you now reaction from washington d. to the correspondence over salat is covering events there for you oliver we just heard chuck schumer saying that there is this danger that the trump administration might bungle into a war how likely is it that this conflict with late even further now
10:04 pm
well officially no one here wants still bumble into a war but it's a volatile situation and us at the the u.s. administration of the pentagon in particular just deployed $1000.00 additional troops to the middle east to carry out surveillance operations there and that will mean more presence and certainly would also raise the risks of further incidents like the one with the drone that these incidents could be repeated so there is a certain risk involved at the same time we do hear signs that 6 we might go back to diplomacy the u.s. reportedly called for a u.n. security council meeting on monday behind closed doors we're not expecting a resolution or any bigger outcome but at least it would mean both sides are talking to each other again behind closed doors but are sitting at the same
10:05 pm
negotiating table talk to say that i mean what is the u.s. is goal here. right and exactly this question is difficult to answer because it's not really clear the u.s. president yesterday just 10 minutes before 5 before launching air strikes on 3 different sites in iran canceled these plans and these plans all think again and there are many questions raised in result in response to that will officially donald trump says that you heard about 150 expected casualties that would result out of the airstrikes against iran in the that this would not be proportionate with the unmanned drone that was downed by iran but the question of course to be raised is why did you why did you decide on such short notice because he certainly knew these facts these numbers along
10:06 pm
a long time before he made his decision he was well informed by his advisors and so the big question is was that just a blow for is he really willing to go to war with iran ok lets continue in that vein because what's the appetite for military confrontation with iran and the u.s. . well the government is very much split over the question of military action a year and then the question here is of course which side in the government will prevail will it be the hardliners such as the secretary of state michael pale as well as national security advisor john bolton who are rather open for military action and calling for military action against iran or will it be rather moderate voices and the pentagon is one of them and they have warned intensively that 2 about the risks involved when at tacking iran and they're particularly particularly looking at the safety and security of the american forces stationed in the region
10:07 pm
iran has capable surface to air missiles and that could cause casualties on the american side so those were warnings coming from the pentagon then yesterday congressional leaders had a security briefing at the in the situation room of the white house and the speaker of the house of the democrats and nancy pelosi said there was bipartisan agreement that the upper hand the. upper hand of the iranian hardliners should not be strengthened and for that reason there's a increasingly critical stance here on potential attacks. over salat reporting from washington thank you. and next back here in germany thousands of students from across europe have gathered near a coal mine in western germany to call on governments to take bolder action in the
10:08 pm
climate change crisis organizers said up to 20000 protesters from 16 countries gathered in near germany's border with belgium and the netherlands it comes a day after european union leaders failed to agree on a plan to make the block's economy carbon neutral by 2050. fridays for future demonstrators are making a lot of noise this time protesters from 17 countries have gathered in off of the 20000 demonstrators are expected to take part they want to increase pressure on politicians to camille right when it's 7 hours to come here from naples south of you. because i think that the it's really important to denounce the situation right now. and it's important that we stand together for something that matters to all of us i hope someone will finally listen. germany's green party is excited that so many people are demonstrating for climate protection thousands of demonstrators are on their way to the nearby village of fearsome where they will show their support
10:09 pm
for climate protection at the largest mining area in europe. they hope to influence politicians thru civil disobedience the deliberate final ation of law and order. and we accept the fact that we might get arrested because the climate crisis is so urgent it affects us all and that's why we're deliberately exercising civil disobedience to demand a phase out of coal power. this week the entire western rhineland is the focus point of the climate protest movement. while germany plans to phase out coal and power generation by 2038 but long before that 5 villages in the western. in state of north right westphalia are scheduled to be demolished to make way for a mine to extract limits particularly dirty type of cult will receive
10:10 pm
compensation but some of them are asking why they should give up their homes or in germany as phasing out coal power anyway. they're inching ever closer the gigantic shovels of the lignite excavators in a few years they're set to demolish the dealing village of north rhine-westphalia the place davita place and his parents and grandparents call home davide grew up here and has no desire to leave a forced relocation would affect his 83 year old grandfather the most. when you lived here all these years and they want to take you away when you're this age. that's harsh. things and wants to prevent that so he's led demonstrations against our w e the local utilities company his resolve is further strengthened by the global climate crisis
10:11 pm
and the agreement to phase out brown coal he will not leave his village voluntarily . so if it comes to tearing down the villagers the police will probably have to drag his are homeless heartless and we won't leave if ever that we get infected. we're staying put that's their battle cry together with 50 other activists plays and has already prevented the construction of a bypass road for the utilities company. because the road would only be needed if all 5 villages in the open if you don't lying area of guards or other were destroyed on the smith we can allow that. germany has already agreed to phase out coal power in light of the climate crisis and the roads not needed just because of the planned phase out less coal is being used now so the villages could stand tact that's something both diabetes and many scientists agree on but the utilities company is standing firm. mostly poor coal
10:12 pm
has to come from somewhere and that's why we need the guards were mine so relocating the fire ledges it is necessary to afford i guess beneath them lies the coal we need to supply the remaining power plants in the. dubey sister tina is also fighting to keep their village standing she's involved in the fridays for future demonstrations to raise awareness of the climate crisis it angers her that the utilities company wants to mine coal at this stage. i just think it sounds like a rebellious child who knows it's wrong but wants to go ahead anyway and says we don't care what the scientists say we're going to go ahead anyway all i can say is no they have to be able to say that's it we have enough and admit they're making a mistake. the energy companies insist on their right to demolish the remaining villages but davida in 1000 entries and have been galvanized by the global climate demonstrations they hope they can think the place they come
10:13 pm
