you could look right any appeal going to be smart if you want a problem or to build a. climate exodus start september 5th on g.w. . this is d w news live from but it now has the amazon fires in brazil rage out of control an international dispute and no action brazil's president accuses francaise emanuel and back home of being a colonial it's for saying that the blazes should be treated as an international crisis look at what's behind the record number of fires in the amazon for

succumbing off security is ramped up in the southern french city of baghdad it's a head of the g. 7 summit the world the just meeting that say they will focus on the fight against inequality but calls a growing for a common response to the amazon wildfire. plus a show of hands in hong kong demonstrations for a human chain across the territory to press home dad for more democracy. and taking steps to stop a sign an extinction as africa's drawls population dwindles by almost hauffe in 30 years an international convention agrees on ways to better protect the gentle giant . i'm having a home free glad you could join me. international concern is mounting over the record number of wild. as in the amazon in brazil french president emanuel michael

has called it quote an international crisis tweeting our house is burning literally the amazon rain forest the lungs which produce 20 percent of all planet's oxygen is on fire but brazil's president chevaux sonando has slammed the remarks us quote sensationalist saying michael is trying to make personal political gains in what he calls an internal matter for brazil obo sanaa to also says his country lacks the resources to fight the fire as well controversially he has accused environmental groups of starting the fires in a bid to embarrass the government the effect of the blazes is being felt far beyond the areas on fire. the amazon a blaze thousands of hectares disappearing every day this map shows the extent nearly 40000 individual fires burning right now. there are competing explanations

for why this is happening. brazil's president is defiant he blames foreign backed environmental groups for setting the blazes to discredit him or his bid to be able to n.g.o.s have lost money without money from norway and germany there without jobs so what do they do they try to bring me down. what about them. there are strict laws in place but critics say president balsa narrow has failed to enforce them and encourage bloggers and grand jurors to claim the amazon basin as their own problem if you will then the problem is that the government abandoned policies abandoned know how and has an attitude of disgust towards environmental scientists and activists that least. the impact is felt most immediately by indigenous people who have made the rainforest their home for centuries. this is with each passing day we see the destruction and runs deforestation and

logging. because the forest dies a bit and at every moment we feel the climate changing like in the us this was the world needs to fall as we need it and no children need it. but both scenario made developing the amazon into a campaign promise one he's not likely to give up easily. and for more on this i'm joined now by him nora here from the university of oxford in england who leads the organizing team of e.u. brazil trade dot org now that is a global petition of scientists and indigenous groups who are calling for strictly you trade with brazil i welcome to you nora now we understand that france and ireland all threating them to essentially block that huge trade deal with south american nations because of paulson orders politics is that the sort of action that's needed. absolutely this is great progress that's exactly what i was hoping

that they would do and what we've been calling for them to do but we need more leaders to echo this call so we really need to put economic pressure on both in our own because that seems to be the only thing he cares about i know a lot of people are waiting for the miracles response on this and these fires are not really you know there's been driven by greaves colonialism our crime against humanity. i mean talking about that pressure you will when i. try to do it represents hundreds of indigenous peoples and scientists people who you know the rain forest inside out let me just remind us why all the amazon basin and its forests so important what is changed since paulson was elected. here i mean the amazon is crucial to close to a 1000000 indigenous peoples the crucial to the stability of our global climate and also of course wildlife conservation it's

a biodiversity hotspot it's one of the last great rainforest in the world. something that often also isn't mentioned provides the rainfall and which brazilian uyghur culture depends so brazil is shooting itself in the fall here by far it's doing and we're reaching a critical time where it quite actually tipped over into a dry system if deforestation continues which would destroy the rain forest purity but also ruin culture in the region that depends on rainfall since well so narrow has been elected for a station has accelerated violent attacks on indigenous people this isn't unexpected this is what paulson r.-o. has openly said that he wants to develop the amazon. so it's no surprise to us this is why i started this call because this was very predictable unfortunately. now that cool has been taken out for example if we take a look at some of the activities with even seen today in terms of widespread

protests here in europe against paulson ari's activities in the amazon but beyond that i suppose what can people do to protect the on this isn't here i mean there's 3 main things that people can do right now so the 1st thing the most important thing i would say is got active join groups like extinction or about him they're the ones that are fighting for a healthy planet fighting to combat climate change and really pushing the agenda pushing politicians to take stronger action and they're really good fun to very creative people the 2nd will be using me so me is the number one driver of the 1st nation in latin america both cattle ranching and the soybeans that we import in europe and feed to our chickens pigs and cattle and so giving out me is very direct impacts and the 3rd thing would be to support indigenous people so they're the ones that are the best protectors of the amazon they're the ones that we need to learn from. survival international for example there's

a great charity that you can donate to. right you know iraqi have from the organizing team all of a you brazil trade good to have you which will thank you so much thanks very much for having me. well leaders of the wall 7 largest economies are heading for 2 berets in france for the g. 7 summit which starts tomorrow and european union leaders have joined a call from french president to manually machall for the amazon rain forest wildfires to be put on the events agenda michael will host talks with the leaders on a wide range of topics from tensions over iran to the bleak outlook of the wild economy but the main theme of this year's meeting is the fight against inequality in all of its forms including the g. 7 nations own backyards. in developed nations the gap between the rich and the poor has reached its highest level in the past 50 years the average income of the

richest 10 percent of the population is now about 9 times that of the poorest 10 percent. the anger of those that feel left behind was most popular in france this year's g. 700 stuff. i know that i did it trick of the yellow vest protests that raged for 5 months and fools president mccone to announce a host of measures to redress economic inequality. that anger has also sparked a trend towards and he established london and elite movements donald trump's provocative rhetoric chimes with that mood. as does the brig's a debate in britain. was a was. and that anger has federalizing support for populist parties

often on the far right. there. in berlin the alternative for germany is now the main opposition party in parliament. life. while in its early much salvini head of the un gym aggression league party could soon be crowned the new prime minister. the main drive behind many of their voters economic dissatisfaction so while the g 7 leaders will be discussing how to fight global inequality there remains an lot of work for them to do on their writing don't stop or let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world this hour a relief for 356 migrants who've been stuck on a rescue ship in the mediterranean for 2 weeks malta has agreed to let the disembark off to 6 european union countries said they would take them the ngo ship

videos most likely loved ones and they are superimposed on top a many of them as you can see in that picture there are crying now tick tock says its uses data is stored outside china so cannot be accessed by chinese or thora tease but those who are posting the video is still taking a risk because china comes down on anyone it sees is spreading and spreading online rumors or what it deems as fake news right i mean meanwhile i mean china continues to insist that these are not detention centers that these are for occasional facilities right that's right in china has been criticized for what many see as a propaganda campaign about this and and so on both facebook and twitter that have been put on by state owned media companies proport to show these we get in these sentences learning vocational training always getting an education in other words

trying to show people that they are happy and that they are getting skills for the future we can look at and add to that quotes a malaysian diplomat who says that the shanghai and camps were an effective way to counter extremism and terrorism and it links to an article claiming that the chinese government has done a lot of work to help students in vocational training centers overcome poverty and live a good life in the future and there is another ad that's been run by state media channel the global times it shows the outlets editor in chief claiming that european politicians and the media who are criticizing these centers were only representing one viewpoint and he said that the region has regained peace and development thanks to them but we must stress that human rights watch says that chinese or authorities are really abusing a people in this region and we haven't seen it so bad across the country. in decades i mean should we say as well i mean china didn't come under fire earlier

this week for another this information campaign yes hong kong and in that case it with the thumb of the chinese state controlled media was spreading disinformation on facebook and twitter and if these journalists who discovered that then found out what was going on with the week is it has to be pointed out that twitter has now said it wouldn't it will not accept advertising from state controlled media facebook hasn't but it does say that it will investigate any particular post that have been flagged up to them. for us whiting thank you so much for bringing us the story oh you're still watching the news still to come will go to gold scenes in the final tournament to walk the fine line between affection and frustration part 2 of this party is coming up next more of those borders because this one sure is a cliffhanger. now

giraffes have been given more protection in a bid to hope that dramatic population decline the convention on international trade in endangered species or cite east has agreed to regulate the buying and setting off their body parts a number of these gentle creatures from africa has shrunk from over 160002 just under 100000 in just 3 decades. to raf's they're both majestic and lovable perhaps even more so with the one key in fact such idiosyncrasies make it easier for researches to recognise their old buddies. to be in a really wild close and to have such a close connection with individual wild animals that you might be looking at them from one side and you already know when they turn around what you see on the other side just like knowing a friend. and indeed a friend for life. john daugherty 1st came to national reserve 21 years ago as

a carpenter and a pretext for getting up close to his favorite animals. now research or he knows africa's giraffe population as a whole has shrunk by 40 percent over the last 30 years. during the lifetime of the oldest giraffes here in somebody's national reserve 7 out of 10 of the species has disappeared poaching is one of the main culprits giraffes are often killed to eat when other food sources are running low but the somebody who tried who live near the park stopped such poaching long ago thanks partly to education work by john's colleagues tribal elders have noticed the change in stocks too. used to be many giraffes here now there are far fewer of them. without giraffes there would be fewer tourists and less income for the somebody who sells 70 is. but

tourism comes in different forms it also includes trophy hunting which is legal in southern african countries like south africa namibia and zambia. this american woman for example shelter a red giraffe in south africa she defended her action by saying her hunting fee would help maintain giraffe stocks that's a view shared by many southern african governments john daugherty says that's unacceptable and he's not alone the southern african development community now wants trophy hunters to prove that they're hunting went in danger animal stocks i'm personally very pleased opinion was divided but i'm delighted that size has come to what i think is a very sensible decision that will help african countries faced with declining giraffe populations to save them for all of us for the future. the hope is that such measures will prevent giraffes from experiencing the fate of so many species that face possible extinction.
