in a one of those key states so this party needs a perspective off the key vital big blow that it's once again expecting of about a box our chief political editor thank you so much leaders of nations add risk from rising sea levels have failed to agree on tough new climate change commitments the meeting of pacific states and 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 family and

spirit of the fore i think. it's mostly used to start to 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 gearing know it stage and stage betrayed me and scott as though you are concerned about saving new economy. situation in australia conserves above saving my people into a boat like was the leaders of others of this week's 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 bestride you. want to start one on them. and if we're serious about it we better actually understand emissions don't have a nationality and with the bulk of emissions come from that's what's threatening the world's moment 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. now to hong kong where the likelihood that mainland chinese forces take direct action against protesters might be increasing a newspaper that's seen as a beijing mouthpieces backing intervention the global times says that if hong kong

concern at the moment is the increasingly hardened rhetoric coming out of beijing and the impact that that will have on authorities here in hong kong people here say that the police have become increasingly violent over recent weeks they worry that that could could escalate even further they were so concerned about the sanctions that protesters could face for taking to the streets at the moment dozens of protesters have been charged with rioting not sentence a charge that carries up to 10 years in prison and people fear that once from beijing such as terrorism which now we're now hearing that they describe these protests as close to terrorism could mean that we could see even even high a sentence is even higher sanctions for some of the people who. taking to the streets. there in hong kong and a daredevil frenchman known for carrying out on authorized climbs of skyscrapers around the world has scaled a $62.00 story building in hong kong and

japanese embassy. to 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 only hardening their resolve. that we've been asking japan for an apology for a long time but they're still not owning up to the past and instead of apologizing to the victims of forced labor they're instead retaliating engaging in economic retaliation which makes me really angry. with distrust and animosity running so deep laying to rest the legacy of colonize ation may take many years yet.

the captain of a russian plane is getting praise for making an emergency landing in a cornfield all 233 people on board survived after the plane hit a flock of birds while taking off from moscow the pilot's quick thinking is being compared to the famous landing on the hudson river in new york 10 years ago. this is where the short journey ended in a cornfield in the mask just one kilometer from the runway the airbus a 321 was on route to simferopol in crimea. smoke billows from one of the engines some passengers record the scene on their phones. while others call out the names of their loved ones. others again try to get as far away as possible. minutes before the plane took off from moscow's zukowski airports. dot spine possibly the moment when

a flock of seagulls is sucked into an engine. seconds later both of the plane's engines fail. all civs they don't just after takeoff i heard a sound like you didn't. know what almost been to give away there was a deathly silence on the plane everyone was just awaiting their fate. passengers say they had no warning from the crew that the plane was making an emergency landing. the captain is being hailed as a hero. mood that we must pay tribute to the pilot because he landed the plane as smoothly as possible. it was dummy that you see both who brought the airplane down safely the 41 year old captain is highly experienced and has smoked over 3000 flies

i was. the kremlin says both you support and the copilot will receive top state awards for their achievements. all right the long wait is finally over for fans of german football here and around the world now in this stadium later tonight of the new going to sleep the season kicks off champions byron munich began there to begin their campaign rather against heritage berlin and bahrain are aiming for a record 8 league titles in a row the season but they will face some stiff competition they only narrowly beat dortmund to the title last time around and door open they have brought in some key new players including. a left buyer to return to his former club. and tom going to and from did any sports is with us to talk about the new one this league season hi tom byron champs last year the last season but they showed off

weakness to give other teams some hope i think so certainly i mean it's not necessarily heartening for other teams in the league when by i mean it go into a mess 7 tied so in a row and of course they did have a very strong 2nd half to the season. and we all know they've recovered from a 9 point deficit of honduras you don't wind at the top of the table and of course they came back to win the german cup as well however there are plenty of other reasons for the teams to be confident and to be slightly worried of the challenges in the league have strengthened their wares by munich have no no to be fair to land one of their real star transfer targets their squad i think it's fair to say is the thing slightly thin at the start of the season and of course this season they're now going to be with our and robin in front rebury who've been so valuable to the club over the past few years for on top of that their pre-season campaign has been less than ideal at the start of august in the super cup against dortmund that game of course went very badly for by munich so i think coach nico is not necessarily

holding the most enviable set of cards with this season about stop. 1st test the season could have brought their 1st trophy instead to super cup against dortmund in early august only frustration the champions have failed to significantly strengthened their squad and they were exposed by their closest rivals without direct replacements for departed you are in robin and frank rebury a title defense will be anything but easy. the fact is that we definitely have to make another signing i said it last year we had to serious injuries with contract aliso and. they cost as a lot of potential we have to be prepared for that if we want to achieve our goals we need a good squad not just enough players but real top quality players. has received one new player in the past few days attacking midfielder even paris each

has joined on loan from him to milan. but even he accepts that the squad as it is might need further reinforcements. at least. if you want to be. on the top of your so. there is always. the. parasites can't even play him by and. by lynn he suspended after picking up too many yellow cards in the italian top flight last season yet another headache for the champions last term club president promised a pre-season of spectacular transfers it hasn't materialized and buy and will now have to make do with what they've got a gates and maybe beyond. ok time so no big signings from biron but they usually start the season out pretty strong don't they yeah they do usually start very well they haven't lost the opening game since 2011 so it's definitely not going to be an

easy job you know signings or no signings for have the bell in tonight they start with. a brand new manager and each of which he was promoted from the 2nd team to take over the bundesliga side this season so he's very 1st game in his career as a blues new coach starting of course in the toughest way possible with an away fixture against by munich he however can take heart from the fact that he has made some signings over the summer including of course a cup club record transfer fee for day to get back you know of course none the less job it is going to be thrown in at the deep end he said in a press conference this week that his side really need to be at their very best and even then there's no guarantee that they'll take anything away from the audience arena but he said they've also had a great pre-season and he personally is very much looking forward to the challenge . he has i'm excited rather than a nervous because i think we've had a wonderful time recently in pre-season we've worked hard we're set up well we are

well prepared for the game so we'll see what happens thanks again. for the challenge there ahead for him what do you see happening this season in that once again. you know in terms of bomb unit it's hard to defend without a brand new signing is going to be very difficult they've got until the 2nd of september to make one otherwise i think it's going to be a very stiff challenge from bruce you dortmund day as you mentioned earlier on came very close last season so if they can learn from their mistakes and keep a bit more of a cool head then i think they'll be very confident unlike by munich they will have been very active in the transfer market they've got some very good business done early on in the summer bruins and italian going forward and of course with mats we . brought in some very valuable experience at the back they will start off against tomorrow so i think you can expect to see them start with 3 points. in a row by munich is definitely not going to be a simple affair it all kicks off tonight oh picks off to not yeah that's right and

say all right time going from davies floyd thank you so much for joining. you're watching t.v. news coming up next tomorrow today our science show on his 250th birthday we're looking at the legacy of german scientists alexandre fun bold statement for that.
