5:02 pm
a security lockdown in the state is now in its 4th day and hundreds of kashmiri politicians have been arrested. these streets are usually thronging with traffic but since there is decision to revoke to semi autonomous status of engine controlled kashmir army fatigues have replaced the colorful bustle of everyday life few civilians still venture from their homes. there is no one in sight on the roads . it doesn't look like a curfew people are imprisoned in their own homes because i feel like the situation in kashmir will get worse and this could continue for the next 4 or 5 months. i feel like kashmir is on the verge of burning. i feel that whatever the government has done is not right for us to. over $500.00 people have been arrested in the indian controlled part of kashmir since monday to military enforces a tycho few that not only restricts the movement of the population but oh so food

and its central supplies. conditions increasingly difficult migrant laborers code train stations across the region having come in search of work done no desperate to leave. now as we are leaving because of the curfew the government made the situation worse yesterday the locals asked us to vacate our rooms and told us to go home. we have been here since yesterday there are no arrangements for us to leave no one cares about us neither the government nor the police. there are no arrangements for food we have been lying here hungry. but on the fence. every departing train is rushed and pulls out of the station packed with people. as the government continues to in sports are not down in kashmir it is ordinary people that suffer the consequences. since india and
5:04 pm
pakistan are nuclear powers the dispute over kashmir is viewed as one of the world's most dangerous and exclusive interview d.w. has been speaking with pakistan's science minister. who said it was vital to avoid an escalation i don't want to get into a war mongering but believe me if there is of water between india and pakistan this is not going to be a usual war or of the war there will be limited to one country the. extent of this war will be felt in capitals from berlin to washington and from the riyadh this is not going to be an ordinary war so obviously the word the word must be concerned about there and president trump is likely concerned about that so i think whatever he advised india is saying that whites and india must heed to that let's go to the indian capital where we are joined by d.w. correspondent mission in delhi welcome to misha so if pakistan's ruled out military action for now what are its other options.
5:05 pm
well fellow pakistan has spoken about their views on this action by india they have spoiled it illegal. and has decided to appeal to the international community more so than take military action now of course in the past as about pakistan has made an effort to internationalize this issue and to bring in the united nations and the international community and these appeals continue the u.s. of course has weighed in and has asked pakistan to exercise restraint its strand it has said that the u.s. is. to both countries to restrain but so far of course. but looks like we're having some technical problems there with the mission gys well endowed it will move on and see if we can come back to that at some stage. so we'll take

a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a favor is putting a severe strain on bangladesh's health system with 2000 patients a day admitted this week alone in the 30000 people in the tropical disease in the south asian country since the beginning of the. security forces in kurdistan have detained a former president back at home buyer is no reported seeing him being driven away from his home was. wanted in connection with corruption allegations which he says a politically motivated. security forces in israel have raided a palestinian village hunting for the killer of a 19 year old israeli soldier who was discovered with stab wounds in the west bank territory of investigating it as a suspected big street must attack. the u.s. president donald trump was given a hostile reception in the 2 u.s.
5:07 pm
cities left devastated by mass shootings at the weekend 31 people were killed and dozens wounded in el paso in texas and dayton ohio the president visited emergency workers and survivors in both cities but protesters and leading democrats have blamed his rhetoric for inflaming racial tensions in the country. touching down in texas donald trump stepped into a border city where both the local politicians and the local community had come out to deliver a motional yet pointed messages. about. what he says matters he's a person of how we're so when people listen to you thank god be aware that what he says means something on a day when let the next time you know he's across the country are afraid that they may be next today of all days we must hold the president accountable for the pattern of racism that has defined his administration. from the local people to
5:08 pm
local politicians many said the president had been slow to denounce the root of the problem. in this case we're dealing with domestic terrorists. we're dealing with a white supremacist we're doing with racist though we may be said and for some the problem of racism has been exacerbated by the president himself. for most of our recent history it's kind of flowed underground in this administration it's out in the open and it's coming directly from president trump who in no uncertain terms has vilified and tried to defuse minimize the people of this community today another of the president's would be replacements picked up the fight as grief and anger turned again to the question of who will achieve real change on gun control here. he seems more concerned about losing their vote. beating back this hateful ideology he says guns are not the problem in mass shootings issue
5:09 pm
is mental health it's a dodge hey trick. isn't a mental health issue. that we donald trump signed off his day in el paso by refusing to acknowledge any anger toward him. there are euros they're all europe they love the respect for new york city. they were i wish you could have been there to see. a but at a time when polls suggest a clear majority of americans support introducing background checks to buy firearms trumps party has little will to reform the country's lax gun laws. millions more could go hungry if we don't change the way we farm and lower our consumption of meat this is a message from scientists on the go on the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change and a new report out today researches say that average global temperatures have risen by nor point 87 degrees celsius since the late 19th century and this has helped
5:10 pm
create deserts degraded land and endangered food security roughly 70 percent of the world's land area that's not covered by ice is used for print food production the production of textiles fuels and housing and if the world's population continues to grow that is likely to increase so this latest report from the i.p.c.c. is also a call for action telling us we have to change how we use the planet well the message in the report is clear if things don't change quickly it will become increasingly difficult to ensure that the world has enough to eat. this german field is bone dry drought has again gripped parts of the country these crops will yield much less week than usual and a new report by the intergovernmental panel on climate change warns that dry periods like this will become more frequent and more intense. the mediterranean
5:11 pm
region and southern africa will be especially hard hit. the problems are already visible today a quarter of arable land worldwide has deteriorated due to the creation of deserts erosion or salinisation but more and more food has to be produced to feed the world's growing population it's a vicious cycle on the one hand farming produces the food that people desperately need but on the other hand it's a driving factor in climate change. overall farming creates more than 20 percent of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide cattle and rice production make up half of methane emissions a climate pollutant worse than c o 2 and human made fertilizers creates 3 quarters of nitric oxide emissions it's an especially potent greenhouse gas scientists are worried about how quickly the farming sector is growing an area 2 thirds the size of australia has been turned into agricultural land in the last few decades the
5:12 pm
i.p.c.c. says it's time to change the good news emissions from farming can be cut. if we change how we farm and what we eat fruit and vegetables need less oil and water and they generate far less greenhouse gases than meat for example if the world's population growth slows down and people consume less meat scientists think there's only a low risk that more land will be needed by intensive agriculture and there would be enough food to go around the picture is very different if the global population increases at a faster rate than at present and our consumption of resources remains high the i.p.c.c. warns that could result in an environmental catastrophe climbing temperatures would create larger and larger deserts and greatly endanger our capacity to feed the world. environment.
5:13 pm
so does the i.p.c.c. speaks of the being scientific world on this issue. the i.p.c.c. is their united nations scientific body on climate change and reports like these one i prepare from we with the help of more than 100 experts for over 2 years it's actually a compilation of have a label which is then represented in such reports the experts gone from all kinds of different organizations so yes they are every brother percent based on of this and if a community. in this report as with climate change and climate pollution it does seem that the developing world. seems to get the worst of it it calls for us this report to eat less meat but we see that people in china and brazil becoming wealthier they're eating more meat bones still not as much as westerners so what one does if it's factory asked them to cut back as well this is a very fair criticism
5:14 pm
a very valid criticism it's like saying now to the developing countries that they should them burn any more for seafood is why we are already so developed right but the problem i mean it's really unfair but they're brilliant that climate change will impact the poorest the most so if they don't take action if they don't change . now they will be their most impacted so whether it's fair or not they would have to decide by themselves and then we have to look at the major players in this china and the united states between them to the world's 2 biggest polluters they contest many of the findings with regard to climate change. event on board does any of this make a toll. of course efforts should be go by that would be the idea by the way or not deny the i warrant anyway every action gowns and actually that sometimes they do is are not on board shouldn't be an excuse to give up on the contrary it should be
5:15 pm
a motivation for countries like european countries for instance to enhance their ambition to make even more. doesn't quite make sense to me if the world's 2 biggest polluters the world's 2 biggest miscreants in this say that this is rubbish if they sit back and do nothing doesn't matter what the rest of us do well actually decide b. c c report has actually been approved by consensus by 197 countries if i'm not wrong so i think that's already a quite broad consensus in the war that we think the us or china doing differently the action is going forward good talking to thank you for joining us say it in about your service from d.w.p. environment desk this is d.w. news a lie from him still to come and god knows he joined the taste of country life in the city of facing growing pressure from city planners who want to reserve their

green paradise for development. first journey fraught with danger but one of the thousands of refugees are willing to make crossing the mediterranean from north africa illegally and heading for an uncertain future in the european union most of the refugees and migrants end up in spain or greece leaves numbers from the un show the number of a rifle so far this year it's really hits the headlines most often because of its hardline approach to unofficial rescue missions roam says these missions are encouraging people traffickers it's the least migrant backlash group last year with the election of the populist the government and its far right interior minister a metro salvini. new legislation passed this week threatens captains of rescue vessels with fines of up to a 1000000 euro if they enter italian ports without permission the government also wants other e.u. countries to take in more of the refugees and migrants who land in italy to w.'s

magsaysay and join the sea watch rescue mission of the libyan coast and sent this report. takeoff from an undisclosed location. for the german n.g.o.s c. watch is taking us on a reconnaissance flight over the mediterranean. muttiah and pilots have one main objective saving lives here 70 miles off the libyan coast this is this actual better trade your group or other africa. search right is looking for by greg abbott the dangerous crossing. over boat there leipsic recruits. finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack and conditions are anything but ideal. this you watch aircraft moon bird mainly operates in the search and rescue zone off the coast of western libya an area that spans more than 350 kilometers of coastline this is where migrant boats
5:18 pm
set off on their perilous journey to italy and malta footage from an earlier mission shows how that looks dozens of people on an overcrowded rubber dinghy passengers often spend days out at sea exposed to the sun and with limited supplies and back to back to people of being on the water for days easily dehydrated desperate and in a serious medical condition those really are emergencies that have to be evacuated as soon as possible. because. after hours up in the air we spot a suspicious object in the water by a half. that's a sunken rabbiting. for now we don't know what happened to the people on board these cheap inflatable boats are not made to last and sometimes sink after days out at sea even if kai and his crew managed to spot a boat in distress it doesn't mean the passengers will be brought to safety due to
5:19 pm
a crackdown on n.g.o.s there are very few rescue boats left on the water and merchant vessels try to avoid the affected. area all together often the libyan coast guard is the last resort for kay and his colleagues this is a frustrating experience but. i want the people to reach a safe haven i want nice people to get syrup. and i want them to cross the ocean safely and not be brought back in legally. this is wrong as ships are being feast rescue capacities are being caught somewhere the only ones keeping an eye on the water we have to deal with situations like this. we're back on the ground where exactly we cannot see. here are aware that there are organizations activities are being closely monitored since the government such as italy have started to crack down on rescue n.g.o.s seawards faces public criticism and accusations that they are aiding people smugglers. a claim that most vigorously
5:20 pm
rejects. but. we would never communicate with people smugglers in a capacity that's simply criminals have made a business with people who suffer and make money out of the 2nd stance that they're so desperate and see no other way than reaching out to them. listen i sent it to ben chi says these claims are used to paint them as criminals and distract from the real issue mentioned it would go to human lives have to be saved for me that's not up for debate and there's too much discussion going on about it about who should be saved and us as if you know. despite the mounting pressure. say they will continue to go in missions for as long as they are allowed to or until their work becomes no longer necessary. of the millions of city dwellers

around the world the best they can do for a bit of outdoor space is a balcony or a roof terrace here in berlin that's a long tradition of green oasis in the midst of the jungle a city authorities rent the popular allotments to residents side with artists are increasingly trying to claw them back for development. using look can you see the getting some color over lovely these allotment gardeners a happy when their tomato plants their fruit it's paradise to the kluges who have been tending watering and harvesting here for 32 years. and. we're actually here every day almost without fail when we're done with everything else the housework all the doctor's visits you can find those here who. don't want to hear from you for the clue it's the plot a half leased from the city is best 2nd home they pay 300 euros
5:22 pm
a year for it many other hobby gardeners do the same there are 70000 such a lot mens' in building alone more than any other european city. if you want one of these garden lots you'll have to be very patient waiting lists are long and it can take several years to get a lot the garden colonies have become increasingly popular among germans and it's easy to see why when you look behind me most colonies are right in the middle of the city with a clue to plot as part of an allotment colony that is surrounded by apartment buildings you know the land is sought after the city wants to build a school here and the garden is designated to be torn up to make room so will their blackberry hatch be dug up by a bulldozer the glutes are very upset. and the limbs would be losing here is the quality of life. i don't know what we'll do then the moment was we can
5:23 pm
only on. you a few other lockman colonies are also slated for destruction land is limited in the growing german capital which is why the city sees no other option than to sacrifice some of the green spaces. we don't want to make life difficult for allotment gardeners but will need to repurpose some of them in the coming years because berlin is a growing city that needs space for schools daycare centers and sports grounds and a few allotment gardens about one percent who indeed have to make way for those plans in the years ahead for. the kluges intend to fight for their garden they have joined forces with their neighbors in the colony. they agree that schools are important but feel they should not necessarily be built here. the allotment garden colony has already been squeezed to make way for apartment buildings once

post in them we have lost so many kids because of this policy that there are in the . many stray cats in the streets of iran are malnourished and sick or are infested with parasites when they arrive at the shelter they are treated by a vet vaccinated and neutered. he currently cares for about 50 cats. feeding them playing with them and keeping the shelter clean is a lot of work and expensive. if i have the lower the money we spend on the shelter is used only from our own pockets sometimes we received donations into port especially from foreign countries these donations help us to cover their facilities expenses. but until now unfortunately it hasn't been enough to cover all the issues that we need to spend money on. that they can in the way. he
