on earth better threatened by rising sea levels like in the pacific but the region's leaders walked away from talks without a strong action plan to combat the threat we'll tell you why. and the new bundesliga season is getting underway byron munich host have to berlin tonight it is the start of their bid for an 8th straight german title but they expect to be tested to the limit this time. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us a u.s. democratic congresswoman who had been barred from visiting israel along with another lawmaker has now received special permission to visit her palestinian grandmother in the west bank representative rashida to leave will be allowed into the country on humanitarian grounds in a petition to the israeli government she agreed not to promote boycotts against

israel during her visit now the u.-turn comes just a day after israel announced it was barring to leave and fellow muslim congresswoman no one omar over their support for a boycott campaign against the jewish state known as d d s. let's go straight to our correspondent tonya kramer she's standing by in jerusalem hi tanya so israel has changed its mind it will now allow congresswoman rashida to leave to enter so what happened. well already in his statement on thursday prime minister netanyahu had suggested that she could file a request on humanitarian grounds to visit to enter israel and then try the wants to the occupied west bank and that is what has apparently happened mrs clinton has family in the occupied west bank and the interior ministry has granted now this visit on humanitarian grounds as possibly understand she had written request as stating that this would be probably the last chance to see her elderly grandmother

in her ninety's this is led to circulating here in the local media and also that she would appear to some restrictions during her visit in the occupied west bank so the interior ministry has given the green light so that she could enter but not in the capacity of an official to visit as opposed to originally planned time it can this be seen as a signal that israel is backing down. well it's a totally different nature now of the visit it's labeled as a private visit on humanitarian grounds and also apparently she has to adhere to some restrictions what they exactly mean that it's not quite clear whether she can also meet apart from her family and her grandmother you know for example representatives of the civil society whether she will be able to get interviews she said she refrained from promoting boycotts so this is still to be seen it is

labeled as a private visit to be able to go to the occupied west bank but it's not clear that her. congresswoman. oma would be able to join that visit. she was supposed to be going to gather with her so she is still barred from being going visiting israel and it's still to see also what the reactions will be in washington of course specially by democrats to this news development david sanger kramer reporting for us from jerusalem thank you tanya for the latest there let's go to round up now some other stories making news around the world india says it will gradually lift restrictions on movement and communication in kashmir in the coming days the government made the announcement at a supreme court hearing on lifting a media blackout kashmir has been in lockdown for 12 days since delhi were both the

region special status. and north korea has launched at least 2 project aus from near the city of tongue in the east into the east sea and that's according to the south korean military it's the 6th round of launches in recent weeks and protest at military drills between south korea and the u.s. . has rejected any further peace talks with seoul. and argentinians have taken to the streets of the capital to protest the continuing economic crisis a shock election result is wiped 25 percent off the value of the peso organizer set up a soup kitchen to draw attention to the squeeze. and iranian oil tanker is preparing to set sail from gibraltar after being held there since early july the british territory has released the grace one despite a last minute legal bid by the us to keep the ship in detention the vessel was seized under suspicion of bringing iranian oil to syria which would violate when

u.s. sanctions iran has denied its cargo was ever bound for syria after the grace one was captured iran seized a british flag to tanker in the strait of hormuz international shipping route off the coast of iran. correspondent is in the strait of hormuz in iran and she gave us this is suspect of whether that british flag tanker would now be released to the british tanker has already been moved from the place where it was detained in the strait of hormuz a couple of weeks ago closer to the port in bandar abbas where the revolutionary guards are controlling everything and that's a place we have foreign specifically journalists cannot go to as we were told to not quote and danger proceedings so apparently they're still preparing for an exchange but we have to keep in mind that the revolutionary guards in iran as a whole do not have a lot of trust in the united states or the united kingdom so before the iranian

vessel in gibraltar was not free in peril here in the persian gulf will not be released either iran's foreign minister zarif said. to stop the release of the tanker was an attempt to piracy move so he said washington was abusing the international legal system to steal iranian property and that is if you sat by many iranians we've spoken to some people here. and they said they do not want a conflict to happen with other countries not here in their region and not elsewhere but that they are willing to step up and defend their own country if necessary so that is why everybody here in the persian gulf is monitoring very closely what is happening and. leaders of nations at risk from rising sea levels have failed to agree on tough new climate change commitments the meeting of pacific states in tuvalu aimed to help limit rising temperatures but australia the world's biggest coal exporter blocked

a binding agreement in order to protect its own economy. the half hearted handshake says it all there's nothing to be proud of here instead of a compelling global call to action the pacific island forum concluded with a watered down plan that opposing nations can easily opt out of the frustrated host scrambles for conciliatory words everybody should move together in the. spirit of the forum. to stop. the blaming game but all fingers are pointing towards australia and its prime minister scott morrison. of the 15 most climate vulnerable states on the planet 7 are in the pacific region in order to protect them the leaders were hoping the forum would commit to action to limit temperature rises and agree to an immediate halt to coal mining these hopes for quickly dampened by the region's powerhouse.

we as christians very strongly during our exchange in face betrayed me in school as though you were concerned about saving new economy. situation in australia. saving my people didn't. like was the leaders of others of his reach moral compass morrison has long championed his country's lucrative coal industry he concedes climate change is real but insists it can be managed in a way that doesn't hurt his economy. because try to cancel 1.3 percent of the will to missions astride you. want to start one on them. and if we're serious about it we better actually understand that emissions don't have a nationality and with the bulk of emissions come from that's what's threatening the world's climate but at this point it's also australia's actions or the lack of

them that are jeopardizing the future of millions of people living in the pacific structure our responsibility morris and won't be able to walk away from. another area under threat by rising global temperatures siberia the region's vast permafrost is thawing and releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere if the pattern continues it could spell ecological disaster locally and around the planet but one scientist is testing out a method that he believes could reverse the trend and keep siberia frozen. 240 kilometers above the arctic circle it's summertime in the russian arctic at 1st glance the natural surrounding here seems healthy but russian scientists are going to see more of disagrees here at the bank of the coli mar river he shows us how siberia is permafrost is melting. and sure as the microbes here have been sleeping

almost 50000 years when they wake up they will immediately start eating and will be producing carbon dioxide we have so many microbes if they all thought out europe's climate would become intolerable. the arctic permafrost is key to the world's climate it contains twice as much carbon as is found in the earth's atmosphere if it thaws climate damaging gases will be released and this frozen layer is melting more quickly than previously believed in order to protect the permafrost sergei simone wants to revive the ice age in an area about the size of liston stein together with his son nikita has been cutting down trees planting primeval grasses and introducing grazing animal herds. you know what is it that we do have to in december there's a thick layer of snow here it insulates the soil from the cold as such for across here they trample around in the snow and stomp it down that helps keep the permafrost cold during the winter which prevents it thawing out during the summer.

seamounts experiment has been drawing scientists from around the world the team from the max planck institute are here to see whether his changes to the ecosystem are having an effect. as big enough and or soon that the whole system circulation is much more active that there's a more active exchange with the atmosphere but in the end more carbon will accumulate in the soil due to the photosynthesis of the livelier grasses that will grow here than measurements the seamounts have taken show that the soil temperature in their ice park is already staying cool or. i don't want to leave my grandchildren and their children with this miserable landscape which only mosquitoes like i'd rather leave them with the proper species rich nature of our ancestors the kind of nature that stabilizes and feeds humans are. going to. force him off no idea is too big he can imagine woolly mammoths once again roaming through yakutia one day geneticists at harvard university are already preparing to

support this project. ok let's get more on this story with he's a climatologist and geo scientists that had begun to institute for polar and marine research he's with us in our studio and i thank you for joining us so we saw in that report what one man is trying to do to stop the melting of the permafrost how significant is his work well the permafrost thaw and the stability of permafrost this is quite a quite an important task quite an important thing we have to think about the region covers about a quarter of the northern hemisphere so the problem is that it's huge it's stores a lot of carbon and once the boss this car. and can get released to the atmosphere so any study on the permafrost and the stability and the changes are quite significant ok tell us more about what it really needs then for the environment if the permafrost permafrost is thawing on such a large level so. a lot of there there is

a lot of plenty remains also that plans and that any melts frozen there in the ground which has been deposited over thousands and tens of thousands of years. and once it thaws. it might get released to the atmosphere which then even fuels further climate change and there's kind of positive feedback and so the more false the stronger the climate warming can get you watching the report as well and are very familiar with this region because you work with scientists or institutes working with scientists who are on the ground there and you've been mapping this region so how significant is a problem how widespread is it it depends a little bit so there are regions that are more affected are those that are not as affected but in general you can say ok there are there are a lot of regions that are having these issues of permafrost thaw in siberia in the north america in northwest canada for example is there is a big issue of falling from the frost and and lead to instability large and then

slights are occurring also in siberia in alaska because the rotation but also local communities are affected by the fall from frost for example what makes it so difficult to protect the arctic region and also protect the permafrost and what's getting in the way of doing so 1st of all it's a huge region it's just so big it's hardly accessible for field work for example for scientists it's really hard to get there. it is it is very very hard to reach its heart you wanted to or it's it's so remote and it's just just the sheer size i think one of the biggest problems off of accessing it and coming and coming. back to you know the man we saw in a report because it said this is such a huge region this is one man's effort what can be done then on a larger scale to protect the permafrost well i think the 1st is to reduce time warming i think the warming is the biggest issue and release of gases so if we

see on a global scale an increase of temperature of 2 degrees that means in the arctic it's more double triple that so we have $85.00 to $10.00 degrees at the same time when we have a global increase of temperatures of 2 degrees so that is a very significant issue and reducing the emissions and limiting the temperature increases and. the strength of the climate change is i think the biggest cost to at least limit the issues which we have from frost all right so it's going to be a global effort there and been it's a climatologist and geoscientists that the vigna institute for polar and marine research thank you for sharing your insights with us thank you you're watching t.v. news still to come on our show the new bundesliga campaign starts tonight i need it to look shaky in the preseason we'll find out why they have a real battle on their hands to secure a record 8 straight title. but

1st this week japan is marking the 74th anniversary of its surrender at the end of world war 2 and many are still deeply affected by memories of the war like the south korean women forced to work as sex slaves for japanese troops south korea wants to pad to apologize for this dark episode japan says it did so in 2015 but it remains a controversial issue and with only a around 20 percent 20 sorry comfort women still alive time for reconciliation is fast running out. they say is for the victims. like lee yong so. it's. over just a girl when she was forced to work as a sex slave in japanese military brothels. they saw more unveiling ceremony part of an emotional day of commemoration and

protest leader like many koreans want to japan to face up to its past so non-user. i've been the morning i will never give in to the demise from japan. i've been the month here so i will fight until i get an apology and. the awareness is i'm sure. it is not the money i want side of i guess that it's an apology and out side to your. elsewhere in seoul those instant issue to the door of the japanese embassy i. compensate investigate punish they chant the anger here reflects renewed hostilities between the 2 nations japan recently imposed trade barriers in addition over compensation awarded to forced wartime laborers.
