this is deja vu news live from berlin demonstrations and stripes planned around the world calling for climate action the rallies are taking place in cities and towns in about 150 countries demonstrators want world leaders to do more to protect the climate will be taking you inside the protests also coming up. imprisoned in the ice the biggest polar expedition in history will get frozen into the ice and just go with the flow all scientists monitor the impact of climate change on the arctic. and while the world was shocked by the forest fires in the amazon what no

one noticed was that the flames were burning even more fiercely in africa will find out why. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us millions of people around the world today are gathering for climate strikes they want their governments to take more action on climate protection ahead of a key u.n. summit that's coming up next week now australia hosting some of today's 1st mass rallies with similar protests expected to unfold across some $150.00 countries in the hours ahead the demonstrations are being held with activist aggressive turn bergs friday for future movement which invites young people stage school strikes where the climate. on the front lines of climate change you know it's already

happening it's not waiting for it to happen or you know a matter of. 30 years and you know people don't want to leave family they don't want to marry and they shouldn't have to well i say in school i'm learning about the effects of climate change and i'm learning that we need to do something yeah i'm seeing that people in charge and the people who are running our country and doing anything to me this is confusing so i'm here today to step up and say no. to day we'll be checking in with our correspondents reporting from the climate protests all around the world let's go 1st to the philippines capital to manila where did abuse and santos is standing by for us anna good day to you can you tell us what's happening where you are. i'm here at the university of the philippines where students have gathered classes to join this protest for climate justice they are joined by members of digitas communities who have been displaced from their homes because of severe weather conditions and other environmental

degradation now see behind me the protests it's really like playful they're cartoon characters or people on stilts but the students are very clear make no mistake they're very serious about demanding climate justice and the serious response from the government they want the government to declare a climate emergency here in the philippines ok now the philippines are of course at a special risk of a climate change with the global warming with so many arlen's an archipelago so what challenges is the philippines facing. the philippines is listed as the 3rd most climate vulnerable country and the world and the 1st to feel the effects of climate change are really the people that the peripherals of society these are the ones who live in the coastal areas are the ones who are for. harming and also those who live in urban poor or marginalized

communities the ones who are in very vulnerable housing they feel the effects immediately now these people are here at this protest and they are joined by the students who are saying that they are also feeling the effects of climate change because they fear for their future they are disappointed that the government has not sending a representative to the c o p talks this december the president said that the talks will call for emission decline in carbon emissions and that disproportionately affects countries like the philippines who don't really contribute to carbon emissions but they are saying that's precisely where our voices need to be heard that's precisely where the philippians a very vulnerable country needs to stay that we want our homes to be protected we want a future ok and i thank you very much for that from an santos forest after protests in. phoebe kong is in the taiwanese capital taipei she gave us this is testament of what's happening there today. 10 in

downtown taipei where they received group of students from universities high schools and even primary schools they are now holding a press conference right here right behind me and also some the students they are 10 and for to support in this press conference during school time today and they read out to you why may change that relations which is to address the climate change problems around the bow and they want to ask the politicians especially the presidential election candidates to express this hope and that is to put this issue and put it to them let's watch and phones that is to occur the greenhouse gases and also to control the henshaw rise to the gulf in the 15 parish climate humans so that if they go and this is the 1st activities to take off to one week long movement in taiwan so there will be a serious all protests and also street talks to address the climate change problems

all in the coming few days. while the initiator of the fridays for future strikes critter turn burgas to spearhead a rally later today in new york last month she traveled to the u.s. to be on hand for next week's climate summit at the un it was her appeals that have mobilized so many young people. why do we live just that why do we want. scientists and veyron mental organizations and politicians have been trying for years to make the climate a matter of urgency in vain. 16 year old clinton has done it to him bird braved the open sea on a 2 week voyage aboard a yacht from europe to the u.s. to bring her message to the american president a self-proclaimed climate skeptic in person the media follow the trip closely. the climate and ecological crisis is a global crisis and the biggest crisis humanity is to face and if we don't manage to work together to cooperate and to to work together despite our differences then

we will fail so we need to. to stand together and support each other. and to take action it all started about a year ago every friday connected to a protest in front of a swedish parliament and in so doing spark the fridays for future movement just a few months later the schoolgirl mobilized millions of people for the climate suddenly young people all over the world took to the streets like here in india. and mexico. or in australia. or in europe. after her arrival in new york at the end of august to him back made it clear at a meeting with un general assembly president maria espinosa the she hoped the upcoming climate gathering would lead to concrete action you are coming. to be some

kind of break. in. where people start to realize what is actually going on and. so we have high expectations. and my mistakes. here now turn back is counting on the support of her fellow campaigners all over the world and we will continue by that your eyes. and one of those fellow campaigners is now with us here in the studio. fridays for future support here in berlin good morning good morning what do you want to see come out of today's protests around the world i hope that well politicians recognize us and that they actually start acting that the u.n. climate summit will come up with a real solution against this crisis because this crisis will affect every single one of us ok you know a lot of schools here in germany are giving students the day off without penalty to take part in these strikes why do you think this movement has become so very strong

here in germany well. we've seen a lot of stagnation in the politics. and germany we've had the same chancellor for a long time and she hasn't done much we are a country with a lot of resources we are very wealthy country we have the opportunities to become a leader against the fight in the fight against climate change but we are not and that is a scandal and i think that's why people are so frustrated especially in germany and the government isn't doing anything although they have the capacity used to say oh ok you saw stalking to taipei taiwan there you saw the young people there they're they're not as engaged as we can see there is as we heard as young people here in germany especially if you look at the numbers out on the streets every friday here in germany what would you say to young people in taipei to taiwan. i would say to them this is an issue that will affect everyone on this planet and i hope that even though they might not be striking today i hope that they will in the

future because this issue will really affect every single citizen on this planet ok as part of that more and more students are taking part in the strike you know there have been families fined for allowing their children to go to to the strikes and there are sanctions threatened for families in the future should their children do that do so the argument there is that children should be learning and not protesting. out on a school day what's your response that i know people who have been fined and i think it's actually like a scandal because we learned so much from the strikes this is not about algebra this is about learning about a real pot like world politics every single one of us has learned so much while striking this is about our future our planet our lives and to restrict people fighting for this cause is a scandal in my opinion ok talking about politics the german government is looking to introduce a number of measures to to reduce carbon emissions here in germany let's take a look at that and talk some more of that.

germans love to cycle they diligently recycle when it comes to the environment germans like to consider themselves model citizens even angle america was once hailed as the climate chancellor proportioning other countries to acknowledge the scale of climate change merkel's government also decided to phase out nuclear energy by 2022 but still germany is no climate change role model in fact it is one of the countries with the highest c o 2 emissions worldwide germany wants to help these emissions by 2030 experts warn it won't meet this target why it's early exit from nuclear energy made germany heavily reliant on fossil fuels manufacturing transport and other industries also contribute to germany's high emissions. how can germany reduce its greenhouse gases

a minimum price for budget airlines is under consideration other ideas include improving public transport to encourage people to use their cars less. the biggest thing germany can do is reduce its fossil fuel consumption germany only wants to phase out coal energy by 2038. in the meantime it wants to tax carbon dioxide a carbon tax would make coal and other fossil fuels more expensive. but the proposals targeting fossil fuels have been met with resistance coal miners and other industrial workers fear for their jobs. climate activists have taken to the streets hoping to persuade the german government to take action now. ok carr of the actions of the german government is looking at could mean higher taxes loss of jobs is it worth a climate action too when you look at that well i think that's always a false way to look at it. last year we lost 30000 jobs in renewable energies. the

that is not even equal to the slight amount of jobs we were losing coal and also there are studies that the coal miners can actually work in other parts of another businesses but this is about a real issue that will affect every single person on this planet we had time to solve this issue and make it a win win issue for everyone but the government has been sleeping for years and now we just have to realize that this is an issue where we have to do every single musher we can and of course climate justice is a really important factor for us so we want no one left behind we want to tax the rich the people that are flying the most the people that have the biggest cars have the biggest houses that emit the most and those are not the working people ok you call it you're calling it climate justice briefly if you could do you think the politicians are listening and if they're not will they be listening after today i definitely think they will after today i mean we'll have millions of people all

across the world on the streets if they will not be listening they're fools for thanks very much for coming in today from the fridays for future here in berlin thanks very much for. breaking down some of the other stories making the news this hour the saudi led coalition fighting who the rebels and you haven't destroyed 4 sites near the port city of. saudi media saying the sites were being used by iran backed rebels to assemble weapons including sea mines the strikes follow last weekend's attack on saudi arabia's oil ministry which was claimed by the these. tunisia's ousted president ben ali has died in exile in saudi arabia that according to his lawyer he ruled the country of more than 20 years from 1907 until he was forced from power during the arab spring in 2011 ben ali was 83 years old. 36 migrants have been rescued from an overcrowded wouldn't vessel in the mediterranean at the request of maltese authorities the migrants were transferred

to a rescue ship the norwegian flag ocean viking where they joined another 182 margins were picked up in the waters north of libya earlier this week. the racism scandal surrounding canadian prime minister justin trudeau is intensifying multiple images of him wearing black and brown face at events dating back to the ninety's have been published photos apologized for the images saying they caused deep hurt but he will continue his reelection bid. this is news live from berlin still to come on the show the forest fires in the amazon shocked the world of course but what no one realized back then was that the flames were burning even more fiercely in africa. but 1st a german icebreaker said to begin a year long mission to monitor the impact of climate change in the arctic polar

will drift freely through the polar ice is that measures the warming there the arctic region has already experienced some of the earth's biggest temperature increases. at 1st the arctic research ship will be able to journey north under its own steam navigating through a thin sheet of arctic ice but soon afterwards the vessel will face much tougher conditions. for a year it will drift through the arctic ocean surrounded by pack ice on its way to the north pole and beyond. the ship boasts an extensive network of measuring stations designed to collect data on interactions between ice sea and the atmosphere. because the arctic is warming up faster and faster it is considered the epicenter of global climate change. the expedition aims to gain

better understanding of the arctic influence on global climate change the data collected by oceanographers could be valuable for the future. during their journey the crew of the poor large will be accompanied by ice breakers from china russia and sweden. and helicopters will deliver the necessary supplies to. the extraordinary experiment will last $350.00 days and travel 2500 kilometers it may be the last of its kind because if global warming continues at the present rate then the arctic could already be ice free by the summer of 2030. let's go into this much more with a benjamin robert he's an oceanographer and he'll be joining the mosaic expedition good day to you benjamin thanks so much for coming in today good morning good morning to you are top environmental scientists has said what happens in the arctic does not stay in the arctic can you give us an idea give us

a concept here why is this region so important for global temperatures and for sea life as well. yeah the arctic ocean has usually been considered very much ice covered ocean and be seen in the recent couple of days case of those change so i'm somewhere large parts of the archaean overcoming rather seasonally ice covers and some of the ice is not there and that makes a difference of much sunlight for example commutes also one. and only one that requires a complication shows that in your service temperatures actually in both increasing it is 3 fold. related to the global average so that means 3 times as much of an increase in the past 3 decades and you are then elsewhere and it is there for example cold air masses for me archy those can be a lot less serious in 2 days so we're not so far away from there may think when you

look. ok i mean in terms of heat yeah now go ahead i'm sorry. but this thread turned ok was the un is saying that a sharp rise in arctic temperatures is inevitable now how soon could we see the effects in our daily lives off of this arctic melt. yeah so basically they have been examples of us should winters of cold arctic ever break so that reach europe for example so then you may suddenly see your temperatures drop quite a bit when you said you can see. your documentary just how spacey just stated you could see a nice year r.t. in summer 2000 seriously that's an extreme scenario but of all the different scenarios there keep continuing to increase greenhouse gases that kind of thing he's inevitable if we do not then we have a chance that things may stabilize

a bit ok you know we're looking at the prospect of an ice free arctic eventually and passageways are already opening up it's meant that there's a global race on now for the resources of the r. think a mainly led by russia china and the u.s. are you as a scientist worried that before the scientists can get out of the arctic and map and find out what's happening there that part of it will be staked out for resource exploitation by the major powers well as a side of the interstate we've see we're all very well get on an international level so for example the most any expedition you mentioned the last 10 years through the arctic for years that is a joint effort by many people not just logistically but it was of scientifically and this is about climate science and the standing the system of the arctic and this is not a survey for see the resources or geology so it's 1st i do not see a conflict there of course if nations were to state of the art with make inside the

more difficult work there because you have to get permission to work in the inclusive economic zone of the nation you know what is your research specifically going to be looking at. yeah i'm actually physicalist of course i look at the arctic ocean and where you don't care you need to consider how well the ocean kind of acts as a live wall or just below the ocean as the general get to the c.r.c. that is one of the topics we have so much that at least i'm working how stratified we call it the water column is where the layered is and i lay face would be that there are circulation influenced by the sea ice cover supports and in the middle of winter the sea ice certainly opens the ocean is suddenly exposed to the atmosphere can use a huge amount of heat when there's very cold and those kind of the faces to be able to my eyes in current climate models and you contribute ok but all the best you on that expedition and all the best all the members there of the mosaic expedition

when it heads to the arctic binyamin robert there and oceanographer joining us today and. well member those images of forest fires destroying the amazon rain forest they shocked all of us and prompted a global response but when nasa released satellite images of those places we also discovered that there were actually more fires burning in southern and central africa than those in the amazon today some of those fires are continuing to burn our correspondent adrian crieff was recently in both namibia and central mozambique where there are fears right now that if it doesn't rain soon the damage in those areas could be irreparable. elizabeth and fuller rushes together firewood for cooking before that's timber too in flames the bush fires

near go wrong in central mozambique are not only a threat to the environment people are also at risk. you know the fires came from back there far away from him. and they were they had already burned down to house that is. the owners had just gone on a short trip to my somethings in the village if you can have the world and when they came back the houses were gone. and full of suspects that hunters set the fire as a way to hunt wild animals while she's gathering woods 2 men walk past carrying shackled they say they're just porters and had nothing to do with the fires. for go in there it's illegal to set fires here or did the commodity for

it but people don't care. if. they. saw you know they do it anyway. and then it gets out of control. it wants to my house back there just went up in flames see when you're driving through the area yet every few minutes you will pass a bush fire and it's really a mess if. the bush fires rage uncontrollably especially at night images from the u.s. space agency naser show how mess of the affected area is far more land in southern africa is ablaze than in the amazon but just how bad is the problem. from the plane you can see that these are not large scale forest fires but many smaller bushfires in was on the area we fly on tonight where the president has declared

a state of emergency due to drought still plumes of smoke can be seen everywhere mostly from men made fires before the rainy season locals prepare their fields using traditional slash and burn techniques the ashes are used as fertilizer experts say this is typical for the region but it can be dangerous. given that that we even serious drought situation this is getting serious problem for livestock but in the nation above stiffened before for the water the animals so it is a problem we do have it because it because you bet in areas and. so the. ration takes some time and then they're in there's no food for the animals there's no food for the water that is there's no food for livestock land clearance hunting and the fires of southern africa have several causes in spite of the damage to the nature of the environment the situation is not yet out of control the people here are

hoping the rainy season will come soon before more damage is done. well now to a special type of animal what kind of animal is this it is a zebra but not as usually no it is one week old spotted zebra 4 was discovered by a tour guide kenya's masai mara national reserve his extremely rare pattern is likely the result of a genetic mutation cura as he's been present has cost quite a stir at that national park where drivers are 1st keen for a look here's hoping things quiet down for him so. let's get you a mind of our top story this hour rallies and strikes are taking place around the globe point for climate action demonstrators in some $150.00 countries want world leaders to do more to combat climate change ahead of a key u.n. summit next week this is the news from berlin you can always find latest headlines at the w.

dot com or of course you can follow us on twitter. next stop is to the point which talks about youth in revolt over climate change stay tuned for that just after the break i'm brian thomas from the entire team thanks so much for being for. the body.

double talk show strong opinions clear as issues from international perspective young people worldwide are gathering the it's expected to be the ultimate harmony protest in history will there strike jolts politicians into action to address the climate crisis and you can remove some of the change that's our job in the bush

years. point next time i'm on the top of. my teeth. and this is what will give lots of work to. hundreds of years there's nothing. until 2 engineers from germany said there has to be a more efficient place and reinvented a big deal. to do it in 60 minutes. when your family is scattered across the globe. soft goods if you don't

listen to. the journey back to the roots get a minimum of the. shots family from somalia live around the world that want to come to me to urgent assistance mission. family starts october any on d w. young people around the world are leading a mass strike protesting in action on a climate crisis that is making itself felt worldwide in heat waves droughts forest fires and storms will the tangible effects of global warming and the protests of younger generations who will bear the future price prompt truly decisive moves by politicians are we ready to change course youth in revolt climate of change.
