10:30 pm
ai the experts be able to agree on ethical guidelines or will this technology create a deadly new watch on a missed weapon systems. face robot collapse starts aug 14th on t.w. . all you need to do is follow the sun to see the path it is burning across europe today from germany to belgium to britain high temperature records were shattered and in some places for the 1st time red alerts were issued an official warning that mother nature is hot bothered and possibly legal lethal berlin this is the day.
10:31 pm
one why it's the fastest time i've lived in mainland france since the age of 6 i grew up here but it's the 1st time that i think spear instead the exceptional fact of this year is that temperatures have risen very high the belgian so we need to start. patenting something about it listening to it we see during the. last years that. most all those stories we have good reason to be worried. anyone he's closing their eyes to it and then. it's a real shine the problem is what we're leaving to the next generation. so i'm. also coming up but you'll meet 2 sisters from saudi arabia who are hiding from their family and their government they say they had 2 choices lose the only home they've known or lose the only lives they have to hate sleeping i only
10:32 pm
just me for 3 hours. and not from him because i always have like my father. if he. of course he will kill me. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day hotter than it's ever. robin before a heat wave is scorching western europe and sending the mercury to heights that have never been recorded until today this is a very hot summer yes that is true but meteorologist have been confirming today that it is climate change that is making these unprecedented high temperature spikes possible and as i said at the start of the program you only need to travel with the sun to see what's happening the record highs today there the proof let's take a look at the numbers here in germany the new record high today reached 42.6 degrees
10:33 pm
celsius that's more than 108 degrees if you work in fahrenheit in the netherlands they saw it as well 40.4 degrees celsius belgium 40.6 in the u.k. in cambridge they measured a new record high 38 point one degrees celsius and france in paris the same record high temperature as in germany 42.6 degrees celsius shattering the old record by over 2 degrees nowhere has it sizzle today like it has in france people across the country they were told to avoid traveling to work from home if they could children's nurseries were closed and in the heart of paris a warning today from the chief architect in charge of rebuilding notre dame the cathedral roof parts of which survived a fire earlier this year may not survive a heat wave this week. well i can you can make it. i'm very worried about the
10:34 pm
heat wave because as you know the cathedral suffered from the fire the beams came down but also from the shock from the water from the firefighters. the masonry is saturated with water it hasn't moved it's stable we placed sensors everywhere and we haven't detected any movement since the beginning. of focus and what i fear is that the joints or the masonry as they draw you lose their cohesion and their structural qualities and that all of a sudden the vault gives way this will be amazing this record heat a threat to architecture and to infrastructure in britain commuters were advised today not to take the trains in the south and southwest of the country you see right there the tracks are buckling due to the extreme heat which means the risk of darrelle increases and in belgium today for the 1st time ever authorities issued code red warnings due to the heat advising people to take extra precautions which
10:35 pm
means it's best to stay inside and to talk about the weather outside while they say it's global warming i think they just that the weather changes. course it's climate change there's no doubt about that it goes without saying the ice caps amount thing everybody knows that i still don't know if not listen. we got the ice in the freezer but. simple. they were going to say let's not get prevail to do what he said we moved there's nothing green left for the animals to graze on. so we're having to bring in the hay harvest for them. that's usually used as when to stop so we're tapping into next bring stop even though it's only july and yeah i think i gave syriac like now. i think everyone like realizes now the serious. shit. so it's like the
10:36 pm
response we don't like each one of us so i start changing things you know i think there's really something going on with climate change on like trump i'm convinced it's happening i notice in our house which is getting hotter every summer. and we can all feel that it is getting warmer i'm joined now by someone who can also lay out the science and the facts to back up what we are seeing and feeling i'm happy to welcome here to the day clear and clear is a research analyst with climate analytics she and her colleagues advise the un intergovernmental panel on climate change that's the body that helped make the paris climate agreement a reality so it's good to have you on the show these spikes in high temperatures unlike anything that has ever been recorded before talk to me about how we know that this is not only the weather but also the climate that is manifesting itself
10:37 pm
here right as you've explained we've seen terrifying records broken across western europe and many people will also remember the wreck or so of broken france earlier in june this year and many people also remember the heat wave that had last year and many parts of the northern hemisphere and the scientists really unequivocal him about climate change is making these heat waves west so if you look at europe climate change is making these heat waves more frequent but it's also making them more intense and lots of it so if we think about the james heat wave last year scientists are saying that this was 4 degrees more intense the peak temperature was 4 degrees higher than it would have been a century before we had climate change and we've had for gas you're saying that this heat wave is going to extend as the week into the weekend further north and they're actually talking about it increasing the temperature. even around the north pole right so what we have is we have
10:38 pm
a hot mass of abbots coming up from north africa and because of climate change this is hotter than it would have been in the pot it's not that but in addition it's flowing i have soil that is already pots this soil in france and spain is already experienced drought and the sun's effect heating effect on dry soil is much more efficient than it would be on wet soil so we get even more teaching and it kind of fuels the finance of the heat wave as it heads up north and you know despite the various climate agreement just i mean despite the work of people like you it seems that our political leaders they remain reluctant to say on the climate crisis or catastrophe alarm and i were flying carbon footprint it just keeps getting bigger i want to show you an image that we found today in social media it shows all flights that took off yesterday that's what you see right there those are all the flights that took off on the planet yesterday for the 1st time ever more than 225000
10:39 pm
flights were tracked in a single day i mean that is a huge carbon footprint that is getting bigger when you as a climate scientist when you see this what goes through your mind. well obviously fly is one of the problems that we have to tackle i would say that actually in the end the net one of the big things that here in germany is really important is the phase out of funding fossil fuels burning coal and as you mentioned all of the all of the governments of the world of signed up to the signed up to the parse agreement agreeing to limit warming and now we need to see them put actions in place and as you said in a way a negative. action so father have been committed to take us to 3 degrees which is way above what we want to see and as you said flights are continuing cole bombing is continuing on the other hand i think there's a positive picture that renewable energy costs that are climbing and that governments and people around the world are starting to see the benefits that can come from taking action on climate change that can lead to cleaner safest cities
10:40 pm
quieter cities in general a better lifestyle so there are many reasons to mitigate climate change you've written that a person who is 16 years old today i was reading your blog could very well be alive in the year 20 $100.00 and see the world that is 3 degrees celsius warmer than today and more than half of that person's life would be in a world that is one of the half degrees warmer than we have today but it's 60 year old person today probably they won't have to experience these temperature increases so this is an intergenerational inequality being presented through climate change how does that fit into what we are talking about today. well exactly i mean climate change is a very unfair issue often the people who have contributed to the least to the problem of the ones that suffer the most in this case it's today's children and future generations who have not so far contributed to the problem they will
10:41 pm
experience to impact in the future such as and creasing heat waves maybe they will be able to enjoy that summons because they will be part ching. and unfortunately it is young people in the least able they're not in positions of power to do something about it and i think that's why it's really encouraging to see people young people coming out to the streets to call back governments to account and say look we need you to take action we need you to look after our future because if we don't do something now then it will be too late. they're faced with a climate and a little sleep you coming in sharing your insights thank you thank you. for the new british prime minister boris johnson today presented parliament with a plan that he says will usher in a new golden age for a new global britain johnson presented his cabinet a cast of bright city years you are preparing for leaving the european union this year with a deal he said the brits back stuck at the border between ireland in northern
10:42 pm
ireland has to be scrapped and he again threatened to withhold the u.k.'s final payment to the european union of almost 40000000000 pounds if a new deal breaks it becomes a reality for all of this he received generous applause from his fellow tories but the opposition had everything for the new prime minister except the polls minister . forthright boris johnson making his 1st address to parliament as prime minister he repeated his promise to execute brigs it by october 31st on any circumstances. i would prefer to leave you with a deal i would much prefer. i believe that it is possible even though it's late. stage and i would like to make it happen. but certain things need to be clear the withdrawal agreement negotiated by my previous answer has been 3 times rejected by
10:43 pm
this house its terms are unacceptable to this parliament and to this country but we take european union he says should rethink its refusal to renegotiate remain to us we must turbo charge our preparations if they do you know if they do know we will of course have to lead the u.k. without an agreement under article 50. the u.k. is better prepared for that situation than many believe. the opposition says johnson is setting a dangerous course but has called for a new public vote many of the country is deeply worried that the new prime minister overestimates himself those recklessly advocating doubt jail won't be the ones who lose out if the prime minister has confidence in his plan once he's decided what it is he should go back to the people with that plan earlier johnson's cabinet met for the 1st time they've been labelled team leave dominated
10:44 pm
by hard line breaks it is johnson has set his government on course for a tussle with brussels. in puerto rico governor ricardo resell yo has announced that he will resign comes after mass demonstrations in the capital san juan for bugs by an exchange of offensive chat messages between rozelle you know and colleagues at the top of his government when the message is leaked many puerto ricans demanded the politicians should step down. it's a quiet but tense moment as protesters listen to this latest announce. and. you know. then the jubilation takes over the streets of san juan puerto rico's governor confirms he will step down at the mill i have come to the
10:45 pm
following decision with sadness i hereby announce that i will resign from the position of governor effect on friday august 2nd 2019. at 5 in the afternoon. and his decision to resign or c.e.o. is giving in to the pressure off mass protests that have mounted in the past 2 weeks they were set off by a leak that revealed he had exchanged offensive messages about homosexuals women and harry can take terms with his top advisers get him a kid he wanted ricky to step down not only because of all the obscene it is an insult he said of the shots but also because of a corruption we have to put up with for decades we're going ahead and getting rid of the corrupt who believe they cannot be removed this is the start of a new era that within seconds they could remove a governor i hope they can also remove a fiscal control board but i'm a. 40 year old across and your had to face the possible impeachment process over the scandal with his decision now he has become the 1st chief executive to resign
10:46 pm
in the short history of the u.s. territory which has recently struggled with both an economic crisis and corruption . as well their story is a familiar one but it doesn't make it less disturbing or less tragic the world has watched many times women from ultraconservative societies such as saudi arabia risked everything to escape and to experience personal freedom a high stakes gamble for women who say going back would almost certainly mean death or tonight we would like to introduce you to do what the law and 2 sisters from saudi arabia 2 young women who made the decision to. leave behind the world family that they say could only give them a future full of abuse here and see they are trying to find a home hoping for a future that will belong to them one that will no longer hurt.
10:47 pm
all they do and i have seen so far of use like this and changing hotels. that you are hiding from their families we can't say where they are because they are afraid of being found. 22 persisted 20 when her father took them to you stumble for a holiday they decided to run away to escape years of violence and repression they say koreans are an early nor'easter and they are. if they are so i. say no i can't refuse treatment when you force me to where. when i was like. so i can say no of course if i say no they will beat me so hot they took the decision to escape to us says when her father wanted to marry
10:48 pm
her of it was their last chance. and my father told me i have friends of my. he have 2 wife and he want me to be the 3rd one. asking about his age he told him that he's one of the 50 they don't care about their age and when i told him once in all. you can say not. at all if you refuse the marriage you are not. to be kept man is the only person who always knows where do. you stumbled the u.k. lawyer 1st became aware of the case on twitter he's now. supporting the sisters in their efforts to get asylum what are you seeing with the girls karen is it's consistent. the fia care they keep us to the abuse they suffered is also consistent
10:49 pm
with what we know about certain arabia so that you get the impression that this is not to young teenagers running away from home. doing this well into early i mean this is something that they're being forced into. and is escape is not an isolated case again and again saudi women try to flee from their families when traveling abroad. just earlier this year that i have mohammad made headlines for days the 1000 year old saudi woman barricaded herself in a hotel room in bangkok the united nations finally recognized her status as a refugee and she was granted asylum in canada where she now lives. and hope for a similar outcome the sisters need asylum in a 3rd country as soon as possible says their lawyer we believe that not only the fall but the this are authorities have
10:50 pm
a lot to lose by these girls and girls that will. inevitably follow their. quest for freedom. so for that reason we think that there is a very real risk of them being talked to. are not facing deportation to saudi arabia at the moment turkish authorities have granted them temporary protection their men are going to make ends meet with to nation stay receive but as long as there is no long term solution they feel very much under threat. at the window when they go. out or are. try to hide in. our place every couple of days. i'm afraid someone know the place.
10:51 pm
i'm a father searching for us i hate sleeping i only just sleep for 3 hours. it's enough for me because i always have nightmare with like my father you know where i am if he if he catch me of course he will kill me. do we change the location again. where they will wait and hope they can reach safety before their family finds them. all that reports was by our correspondent you leon it is stamboul d.w. has reached out to saudi authorities asking for a comment on this story so far no response but we want to talk more about this situation and the situation of other women just like this and to do that i'm joined now by just me mohamed she's
10:52 pm
a human rights activists who advocates for the rights of women living within islamic majority countries as well as those who struggle under religious fundamentalism she joins me tonight from vancouver it's good to have you on the program i want to ask you do we know how many other cases there are right now why that do and. well there have been projections oh to 3000. yeah every year caring for the state of saudi yeah. that we definitely there are i. very much doubt the look out for sure very good. and what are the chances of women you know like these sisters. receiving asylum in a western country if in fact indeed they are or are able to to get out of saudi
10:53 pm
arabia. well i think a lot of it i see who are aware of the risks but they say you know even if i die it's better than the life i'm living now. there are 2 sisters in new york that work together face together and surrounded her so there's a story out of that young girl who tried to get inside a great face and. carefully to satisfy the grid i just. started many many very scary stories like this that will turn out and there are also success stories like promise and many many other women and life from the made it sound that a lot of other women have had made it great in the 1st they have to say i find it possible. even just living their lives a free country sometimes they go for which by training inch by trade and then.
10:54 pm
they have to foster their family and therefore they have brought shame to the tracy these women are equated this is heroin in fighting rape in the. it's really a situation that there are in. a lot of these that i just find that their choices are really fight flight or freeze and they fight with prisoners like that so like little i want to especially and lots and lots of idleness in prison and fighting against a show like countless women that you know they know their names and so a lot of women just choose to just. stay quietly wallow in their sadness while these are you know their depression and just living their lives is there a socio economic factor here too i mean is it a privilege and economic privilege to be able to. even trying to flee i mean to be
10:55 pm
able to afford to go on a vacation to leave saudi arabia you know you can't be poor and do that and you know absolutely out of doubt exactly there are several privilege there you have to be at the station where you're going to be able to you have to take care of yourself and if you're going to go seek asylum in other country you're going to have to have some sort of financial aid out of taking care of yourself and that yes course i can mention just the fact that they didn't even be getting on their mind on all of this and more because busy obviously the big problems like very yeah it is it's much more difficult. for me from another country that doesn't have the guardianship laws that start. casting yesman mohammed amin unfortunately we're out of time but i want to say thank you to taking the time to share your insights with
