and. student demonstrators have been turning out in their millions some of the 1st rallies kicked off in the strain the. big worry run the front lines of climate change you know it's already happening it's not waiting for it to happen you know a matter of time if it's already well i say in school i'm learning about the effects of climate change and i'm learning that we need to do something yes i'm seeing that the people in charge and the people who are running our country on doing it. oh. this is the 1st time adults have joined the climate strikes on such a significant scale like here in hong kong parents have also been taking part. in. i think this is such a peaceful protest that it's only fair to show them that we're all part of this and that it's ok that they fight for their future to. my. children in india

have also been heating tea activists gratitude and books rallying cry to take to the streets to fend off and foreign mental disaster they like millions of children around the world hope that the adults and power here that cools and take action to safety grows for future generations what do we want well throughout the day we'll be checking in with our correspondents reporting from those climate protests around the world let's go 1st to the philippines capital manila where did abuse santos sent us this report. i'm at the university of the philippines where students are joined by members of the indigenous community and are calling for immediate climate justice the philippines is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world it's located in the pacific ring of fire. fire making it very vulnerable to volcanic eruptions typhoons and earthquakes now the students here say that unless the government declares

a climate emergency immediately those who are the most vulnerable those who are living in the coastal areas like our fisherman the farmers and those who are living in urban poor communities in flimsy houses are going to be the most affected and they are going to be affected as well unless the government acts now they fear that they will have no future to call their own. and a sentence there in manila ok let's go to the city center of the german capital berlin just a few kilometers away from our studio where our correspondent lenny fun how much time is standing by for us dates you know what can we expect in downtown berlin where you are today. well we can certainly expect a lot of noise from the protesters here in berlin the process the big protest in berlin is set to kick off in an hour or so but they have $500.00 events all over germany registered today at this climate strike so hundreds of thousands of people

are expected to go take to the streets to demonstrate not only students as we heard in the report but also the older generations hold on to strike they a lot of different events going on here in berlin we have obviously the big protest happening near the 2 or the brandenburg gate but also there is i mean of course we're talking about berlin here there's a rave protest announced for this afternoon a bicycle protest the protestant church has called on its congregations to ring church bells in protest so all sorts of different civil society actors are involved and are calling for people to take to the streets ok a lot of individuals and groups looking for some kind of action from the politicians the german government of course meeting this morning it wants to introduce a number of measures to reduce c o 2 emissions let's take a look at what they have in mind. 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 for pushing other countries to acknowledge the scale of climate change. government also decided to phase out nuclear energy by 2022 but still germany is no climate change. in fact it is one of the countries with the highest c o 2 emissions worldwide germany wants to have these emissions by 2030 experts warn it won't meet this target. it's early exit from nuclear energy made germany heavily reliant on fossil fuels manufacturing transport. 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. while demonstrators want action now as we just heard there in the german government come up with a policy that will satisfy the demonstrators in berlin and elsewhere in germany today. well it's definitely a very high if not impossible task for the german government's i'm standing here just before the german chancellor rhee where leaders of the 2 coalition parties and

i'm going to america's christian democrats and the social democrats have negotiated all night to come up with this comprehensive policy package that they will release later today but the german government as we've seen in the report is under a lot of pressure not only from the activists on the street today but also from all sorts of activists in german societies who have really telling the government to act now and today it is set to release a very comprehensive list of measures aimed at reducing germany's greenhouse gas emissions by 2032 half them among the policy measures as we heard in the report a price on carbon there's still discussion going on whether it's going to be a carbon tax or an emission trading system and they want to reduce the prices for train tickets especially long distance train tickets so in all areas off all

policies a policy areas comprehensive policies expected to be released ranging from agriculture to traffic to even the renovation of housing so the german government and the lot of pressure whether or not it will satisfy the demonstrators is we will see today. in a couple hours no doubt. here in berlin thanks very much. well the initiator of the fridays for future strikes. to spearhead a rally later today in new york city now last month she travelled to the u.s. to be on hand for next week's un climate summit has been her appeals that have mobilized so many young people why he was god 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. a 16 year old with a tumor has done it to him bird braved the open sea on

a 2 week voyage of 40 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 an ecological crisis is it global crisis and the biggest crisis humanity is to taste and if we don't manage to work together to cooperate and 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 going to protest in front of the 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 in back made it clear at a meeting with u.n. general assembly president many espinosa the she hoped the upcoming climate gathering would lead to concrete action you are going to. be some kind of break. when people start to realize but. and. so we have high expectations for you. and for my mistakes to deliver here now turn back is counting on the support of her fellow campaigners all over the world and we're looking at 5 at your eyes. and one of those fellow campaigners is now with us here in the studio clara meyer of friday's for future support here in berlin good morning clara good morning what

do you want to see come out of today's protests around the world i hope that the 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 in 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 of the government isn't doing anything although they have the capacity used to so you sauced talking to taipei taiwan there and 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 that 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 their sanctions threatened their families in the future should their children do do so the argument there is that children should be learning and not protesting. out on a school day what's your response to 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 paul 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 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 will have millions of people all across the world on the streets if they will not be listening they're fools for us thanks very much for coming in today from the fridays for future here in berlin thanks very much for for we go we have time for a very rare kind of animal discovered in the water old it's a it is a zebra but not the usual one that usually though this week old spotted zebra 4 was discovered in kenya's masai mara national reserve it's extremely rare patterns likely the result of a genetic mutation cura as he's been christened has caused quite a stir at that national park with regards to target 1st keen for
