the boy. you're watching the news coming to you live from bali a blistering heatwave in europe and record high temperature as france experiences a 4th time highs for the 2nd straight day and germany belgium and the netherlands as bad also coming up. more antigovernment protests in hong kong this time protesters occupied the arrive before

a ton comes as board calling for democracy in the chinese state street. living in fear that members of their own family might kill them over south nato maoris like my father you know where i am if. of course he will kill me. we have the story of 2 saudi arabian sisters who say they were forced to flee after being beaten by family members and being threatened with forced marriage. helen of a warm welcome to you i'm good to have your company. millions of people here in europe have been spared to bring in this summer a 2nd heatwave and across the continent records are being broken in the french capital paris the. mercury reached 42.6 degrees celsius shattering the old record

by 2 degrees here's a look at how people are trying to beat the heat. paris's top landmark doesn't often much but at least has a chance to cool off in the truck or tero fountain a welcome relief on paris's hottest day ever i mean i'm from indonesia here so i know why it. is hard this is like too much. especially common sense what they share in their roller i am corn nor air conditioner and also it's very hard it's not just a lack of air con that's a problem on public transport across europe the heat has sent rail services into meltdown in the u.k. passengers in some areas have been advised not to travel at all as tracks and overhead wires struggle to cope with record temperatures in belgium to the heat has

sparked safety concerns for trucks there are even hotter than the outside temperature when it's like 40 degrees outside it's the temperature on the rail. mounts to 10 maybe 15 degrees hotter so we have measured at $55.00 degrees celsius so that makes it more or less given or taking a few the hottest spot in belgium right now the hottest spot in germany on wednesday was the western town of garland cation where the mercury hit 40.5 degrees celsius. 4 out of luck this might go on for another day it's supposed to stay hot here temperatures of over 40 degrees are being reported maybe we'll even break our own record. most of the locals though aren't fans of the hate and were relieved that by thursday the record breaking temperatures had moved on surpassing 42 degrees further north. joining me now is fabien schmidt from the science desk

in bonn welcome 5 so 1st of all tell us how do you still keep waves that we've seen this summer linked to climate change. or actually i think what we're witnessing here is really a case of climate change has arrived in reality t.v. and people are realizing that this is a case. couple of years ago probably about 10 years ago skeptics still were arguing that maybe insulin isolated incidents and island effects that sometimes it can get hotter and sometimes less hot but we're seeing a very clearly. increase in general events like this whether events so yes weather as a result of climate but in this case it's clearly i think we are seeing the results of climate change and the data the majority call data over time i think confirms that so government a government efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions tied to climate change are often centered on taxing carbon dioxide emissions like those created much air

travel for example and let's take a look on this image we have for you we see a shop increase in air travel it shows that or frys that took off a one day this week for the 1st time the number of flights tracked exceeded 225-0018 single day so far beyond what reducing the number of flights or a carbon dioxide tax have any impact on rising temperatures. i think one should be very cautious was saying that any kind of individual measure has an effect on the rising temperatures as such i think what we have to realize is that you have travel all together makes about $2.00 maybe maximum 3 percent of all the carbon dioxide emissions as a real big polluters in the sense of brown coal oil and to some extent gas and when we're looking at the global industries who are seeing that basically

the tendency is just continuing when we're looking at the figures of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it's basically a linear. development and certainly every sing will help to reduce the carbon dioxide will be good and helpful to prevent or to reduce the effects of climate change but i think we also have to be aware that there is a certain development and just by not taking the next flight is not going to change it but still one might to consider that also i think we have to consider that flying generally internationally is still tax free trip train travel card travel as us other ways of travel out text and this is an issue that for example in the you could be easily addressed by. by making train travel airplane travel just as

taxable as us right fabens. sign says thank you very much for that information. now hundreds of protesters gathered at hong kong's international airport in the latest anti-government protest demonstrate is a senior dressed in black chanted slogans and held up banners to what they call educate tourists and visitors about the mass demonstrations of the city hong kong has been experiencing to tests full weeks now ever since the chief executive introduced a controversial extradition. joining me now on the line from hong kong is our correspondent. what is what's the idea behind this latest protest is it a new strategy by the protesters or not you're willing to use traffic she is of course i mean so getting that out into the world and getting treated from across to notice this hong kong is very much hoping to international

verity on their cold. side protests today they have been organized very flight attendant and their food workers region also a few they are the targets in last week's attacks on people coming back from demonstrations will also commuters because many of them believed in the new territories in the areas. that the tree and. began to attack people in natural so it is to say the sorry. sorry again what has been happening. during the bye bye that could go on people. are just and it is as we've been talking we're looking at live pictures coming from hong kong airport at the arrivals lounge where you see visitors coming in and large crowds of protesters in black t. shirts and track and standing there the how tourists and visitors been reacting to

these demonstrators. well imagine you're coming from a long distance coming out of the plane and you feel so many people like. you some of them are they to you because of the homecomings others of us feel that this is not the right way to not. go as people just to try to get this if you like this external actions with no tension although the bad things yeah as you said many of them are coming on long haul flights and they're just happy to get off the plane and get back home so we're seeing again live pictures coming from hong kong huge protests there by demonstrators venting black t. shirts and carrying placards trying to what they see educates the and the visitors to the demonstrations and why they are doing this much is building and hong kong

thank you very much for that update from this. thank you very much. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild palestinian president mahmoud abbas has said he will stop implementing agreements with israel it's the 1st time a bus is announced as such a clear break in cooperation a sign a worsening relations between the 2 sides earlier this week israel demolished palestinian apartment buildings claiming security reasons abbas called the move a crime against humanity. russia's emergency ministry says more than $100.00 wildfires are raging across the siberian regions off it quits and crushed no you ask more than 23000 square kilometers are reported to be affected towns and villages in the region are under threat of heavy small for lucian while villages have been closed and flights cancelled. the german chemicals company by

a has been told a $2000000000.00 compensation payout awarded over its round up would be slashed by a subsidiary months until we now have to face just under 87000000 dollars to a california couple who claimed the tar doc gave them can sell bias to dance to be against the original decision now the names. of the 2 sisters say they were forced to flee their home country saudi arabia after suffering beatings by family members they fought for a growing number of saudi women trying to escape the ultraconservative kingdom's repressive male guardian system our reporter ria han met with the 2 women in istanbul turkey and heard how the system allows meant to control virtually every aspect of a woman's life. all that. i have seen so far like this and changing hotel rooms 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 istanbul for a holiday they decided to run away to escape years of filings and repression say cory's an ordinary. if they i was so. pleased when they forced me to wear. when i was like 10 years. so i can't say no of course if i say more they will beat me so hot they took the decision to escape to us says when her father wanted to marry her off it was their last chance. my father he 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 me that he's one of the 50 but they don't care. and when i told him as. he told me you can't say not. at all if. the marriage you are not. to be kept mum is the only person who always knows when. he stumbles the u.k. lawyer 1st became aware of the case on twitter he's now supporting the sisters in their effort to get asylum. with the girls it's consistent. consistent with. certain ruby. so you get the impression that this is not 2 young teenagers running away from home. doing this well into early i mean this is

something that they're being forced into. and as escape is not an isolated case again and again saudi women try to flee from their families when traveling abroad. just earlier this year there have mohammad made headlines for days the 19 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 father but. this are authorities. by these girls that will. inevitably follow. their own quest for freedom. so for that reason

we think that there is a very real risk of them being talked to here. and 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 donations do receive but as long as there is no long term solution they feel very much under threat. across iowa at the window and when they go. for a year out or are they like try to hide in. our place every couple of days. i'm afraid someone known for placed almost. i'm a father so share for us i hate sleeping i only just me for 3 hours or to at 2 hours it's enough for me because i always have nate maris like my father

you know where i am if he. catch me of course he will kill me. in daylight it will change their location again. where they will wait and hope they can reach safety before their family finds them. and that report by our turkey correspondent you hear high on the job you asked some of the authorities for a response but so far we've not received one saudi arabia's crown prince mama been selling man says he has a big reform agenda but has anything really changed for the women office country i put that question to political scientists and harmonia who specializes in the middle east at 0 rick university well as long as the male guardianship that system is intact we will continue to hear about cases of young

fleeing the country because they are basically leaving a system treating them because you will minors suffer stickit sophisticated it's all ability to decide for themselves can have a concrete prince the haven't been so man has declared several measures for the forms we have yet to see them really implemented in a manner that brings real change in the lives of women in reality and you want to extend is this meal. link to the fundamentalist form of the hobby islam that is practiced in saudi arabia. well i'm glad you are asking this question because it's very important to emphasize that the male guardianship and the system is also imposed and other arab countries

specifically in the arabian peninsula yemen is one country where this system is also a privilege and but that said one has to admit that the fundamentalist interpretation of what happy islam implemented in saudi arabia seems to be going to the extreme. of imposing restrictions on women's life considering when then a source of evil that should be not only covered and hidden but also could trolled from birth to death by their male guardian so to what extent are activists able to work for women's rights within the country. alice lee one can detect

a men's movement that has been working for these rights since more then several de kids they have become more well killed thanks to the social media and the fact that they are very effective can't be detected from their phone the fate of famous women's rights activists such as liz you know had luke was still in prison so i am my own guardian and i were the only is a hash tag of a campaign that is pushing since several years for an end of the male guardianship system in addition to an end they also succeeded 1 may add in ending. they observed a restriction and one is ability to drive cars so in a way they are able to make their voice heard that authorities are

able to stop these voices from coming forward but one cannot deny that they're all over the state implementing change is very important important to make it fair. right money efron's eunuch an investor thank you very much for those insights . the united states federal government is to resume executions later this year the last time after is that was put to death in a federal u.s. prison was in 2003 since then an unofficial moratorium has been observed on a view was carried on the u.s. justice department says the review has not been completed and has cleared the way for executions to begin again critics of the death penalty say the decision is politically motivated with the aim of both to bring support for president donald trump ahead of the next election. the execution chamber still frequently

used in the united states but in recent years the death penalty has only been applied by state governments only 3 people have been executed at a national level in the past 3 decades now the attorney general william barr has authorized the resumption of capital punishment by the federal government so this is kind of a new. surprising announcement there's no particular call for the death penalty that any federal level but there are people on the federal death row who have committed serious homicides and juries have found that they are subject to the death penalty so. there's nothing that really prevents it from living this 61 people are on federal death row including the boston marathon bomber for now 5 men have been shot jewel to die by lethal injection all convicted of murdering children some see it as an emotive decision. these cases were not chosen

because they justify the federal death penalty. they were chosen because they were designed to inflame the public and there's concern that nonwhite defendants will be disproportionately affected you're more likely to be sentenced to death and you're more likely to be executed if you're a defendant color. president donald trump has long been an outspoken supporter of the death penalty executions will restart in december as the u.s. prepares to enter an election year several of trump's democratic opponents are against it the issue could become part of the presidential race. it's the gay pride season and this thousands of people will watch and join in the parade through the streets of berlin again as gay people celebrate their growing equality of rights cause a growing here in germany for a ban on so-called conversion therapy now this controversial practice risk claims

to cure homosexuality is guide dot around the world currently only 3 countries have nationwide bans that's visit ecuador and malta a handful of other countries seen here have also set the ball rolling with local regulations and recommendations but they don't have explicit nationwide bans jimmy wants to become the 2nd e.u. country to ban this practice detail bespoke to a man who underwent conversion therapy has this report. haven't i think i 1st became aware that something was different during kindergarten but of course i didn't know what it meant mike is just one of thousands of people in germany who have undergone a controversial therapy in an attempt to repress a human sexuality christianity shaped mike's life from an early age but as puberty hit he began to have sexual experiences with men. this published issue it was a nice time in life but then the conflict started to grow because at the same time

i felt at home in christian circles where it was made very clear god doesn't want that you should lead another life. how can you stand before god this is a mortal sin. and other similar comments came from all sides. after voluntarily seeking out so-called conversion therapy might committed himself to ending all contact with homosexual friends and partners for decades he was abstinent the loneliness brought him to the brink of suicide. i reached the point where i couldn't go on anymore. but it was also because of my faith that i was too much of a coward to do it. because then i would have been granted eternal life today i can laugh about it how stupid that it was but i was actually the reason that kept me from ending my life god not practitioners in germany of the so-called homosexual conversion therapy currently face no consequences but german health minister is preparing to take drastic action. conversion therapy in germany

sexuality is not a disease and does not require treatment. the german health minister hopes to present a draft by the end of the year but like many other critics mike worries that the so-called therapy will be able to continue under a different guise but for him it's still a step in the right direction. she finished. i think it's important for example to put a ban in place especially for young people which makes it clear that doctors and therapists are not allowed to carry out this so-called conversion therapy and then the be a lot less of this nonsense. 20 years on since his so-called therapy mike can now look forward to his wedding putting the past behind him. i'm not bitter towards anyone neither the christian circles where i learned and heard everything nor the therapist someone from my

former parish actually reached out to me and said hats off to him and he was sorry for what happened so i can see something is happening change is on the way. now from the isolation of conversion therapy to the community of but ends up coming keep pride parade the outspoken and openly gay u.s. ambassador richard grinnell we've been attendances weekend the chant through a list has hoisted the rainbow flag of gay pride at the u.s. embassy alongside the star spangled banner despite unless ordered by the u.s. state department for getting it. here's a recap of the top story that we're following for you european countries are recording or this time high temperatures for a 2nd straight day as a heat wave breaks the continent it's kept the agency's services busy in some areas and transport has been affected. coming up next indeed have been using.
