this is the w.'s coming to you live from by land then stray chanson strikes are underway around the globe calling for action on climate change thousands gather in berlin just one of the demonstrations in some 150 countries in london till march is calling world leaders to do more to protect the crime that's really taking you inside the protest with our correspondents. in berlin chancellor angela merkel's coalition government that makes a breakthrough on a major climate protection measure would it be enough to satisfy both the industry

and climate change protest says. and imprisoned in the ice the biggest polar expedition in history when you get frozen into the ice and just go with the flow while scientists monitor the impact of climate change on the opposite. 2 of a warm welcome to you. millions of people around the world are taking part in strikes and rallies calling for action on climate change ahead of a key u.n. summit next week throughout the day we'll be checking in with our correspondents reporting from time of protests all around the world but we start right here in berlin. thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of the german capital the mostly young crowd

is gathered at the city's famous brandenburg gate to listen to speeches and to live music friday for future strikes are taking place in more than $500.00 towns and cities across germany was. that we now draw in our correspondent only fun hummus and she is in the heart of berlin welcome merely tell us you've been there for several hours now tell us what's happening there what are people saying to you . exactly i've been here since the start of the protests kicked off as you sat on the main stage with life music and a lot of speeches were given by prominent figures in germany and now the protesters slowly mashing through the city it's in full swing as you can see behind me it's colorful it's loud the sun even has come out and i talked to a lot of protesters c.m. there are very different faces you can see at this protest ranging from oscar who

is 7 years old and it's his 1st time in protest and he says he wants to save the amazon rain forest and that's why you see here too is it was 74 years old and told me she stands here in solidarity with her grandchildren so you can see the climate strike in berlin really unites all generations the people i'm seeing around here mostly young people but the organizers of this protest that for everyone to young and old so how mixed is this demonstration behind you. it's definitely more makes them previous friday for future climate strikes on friday have been in the past it's also a lot bigger 80000 people here as i said but we see that the call by many organizations different civil society actors trade unions even from the private sector and the protestant church they fall called to members to come here has actually been fruit a lot of people from all different ages i hear i talk to some people who've taken

off a day off work or who have come here and they extended lunch break and are now joining the protest because they feel like these students have really inspired them to be here absolutely and it seems that they all want to make their voices heard. in the halls of well and in the midst of these protests thank you very much for that update from there. as the mass climate protest was underway in berlin germany is governing bodies finalize a deal on a major climate protection. back edge after a marathon overnight negotiations chancellor angela merkel announced the details of the deal between her conservatives and social democrats the package of measures include include a carbon price for energy in line with an emission trading scheme that also includes incentives for buying electric cars and measures to help households transition away from using heating oil. let's go straight to our chief political

editor michelle. welcome michel are you standing in front of the chancery where these talks and coalition talks were going on for ages on coming up with an agreement on taking action against climate change tell us this seems to me that they have reached a breakthrough tell us more about what they've agreed. yes they were in the chancery behind you for more than 18 hours and these $22.00 pages just came hot off the printer actually that's essentially a climate deal that the coalition has reached within itself which the court climate cabinet is currently presenting here in berlin and it includes investments worth over $50000000000.00 euros till 2023 there was a recognition from german chancellor angela merkel as she presented this that this was an example of what politics can actually achieve and she put it into a contrast to science and she said impatient young people well that's going to cost

so dearly in social media because of what people here on the street seem to agree on from the word go is that whatever is achieved here. wouldn't be enough and what we are seeing already is reactions from greenpeace for instance saying that simply this won't be enough germany has a legacy of not having reached its 2020 climate goals now it's aiming to reach the 2030 goals and american sisters a lot of measures that have been put in place including constant monitoring for the government to actually achieve that this time and we should this seems to be a certain sense of urgency about these talks because as you said they talked through the night for some 18 hours why did they take them so long to come to an agreement. because there were 2 very different approaches with the government coalition that's why we're seeing things like price rises in fuel for instance

being balanced out by tax breaks for people who depend on their car to get to work for instance we're seeing a ban on oil fuels heating coming into place in 2026 at the same time incentives costs covered of up to 40 percent for people who actually replaced. oil heating with more innovative technology and this basically smells of compromise it is what it was essentially the bottom line between the so-called the ground coalition partners of anglo merkel's conservative bloc and the social democrats who so hard to prove here today that they can actually do tackling climate change that they actually have an effective plan for the future and the jury is still out here on the balance streets but also in the political sphere beyond money whether that will be enough in the end and. political editor on

a glorious day in berlin thank you very much for that assessment. now on this day of action for the planet australia hosted some of the 1st rallies of the day with similar protests unfolding across the world lets see how the day developed. the largest global climate protest the world has ever seen that's what organizers have been calling today's wave of strikes for the planet. student demonstrators have been turning out and then millions some of the 1st rallies kicked off in australia. run the front lines i'm itching you know it's already happening it's not waiting for it to happen you know a matter of. 30 well i say in school i'm learning about the effects of climate change and i'm learning that we need to do something i'm seeing that the people in charge and the people who are running our country aren't doing anything. 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. i think this is such a peaceful protest that it's only fair to show the. that we're all part of this and that it's ok that they fight for their future tenure. in thailand hundreds of young protesters storms the environment ministry before dropping to the ground to play dead saying that will be the future if governments don't talk now. with africa among those continent's most ponderable to global warming climate change protests in kenya have an especially significant sense of urgency climate change is real and it. doesn't matter. whether you're rich.

it doesn't isolate. my. children in india have also been heating 200 activists quite a turn books rallying cry to take to the streets to fend off environmental disaster . but this is a fight which is going to impact every day for the rest of my life this is a fight i'm fighting said the one i inherited will not be boiling over with docks in stuff you know my life i think i'll quit all wars which in which i will be able to breathe again if they like millions of children around the world hope that the adults in power here that cools and take action to save the planet for future generations what do we want. the soul of the that they already climate protests underway in india the dubuisson have follicle attended a demonstration in the capital delhi and had this to say. again age and capital

a group of people including students were skipped classes are out on the streets demanding action on climate change the demonstrating in front of the ministry of open affairs and policy and that's because this protest is intended to draw attention to india's rapidly growing cities which are reeling from extreme air pollution and heatwaves studies show that human induced climate activity plays a big role in. the students here are demanding the policymakers take steps to cut carbon emissions to move away from fossil fuels and police climate issues at the center of city planning policies to tackle what this city is a climate emergency. that was on a fun like an indian capital delhi and now turning to the british camp to london but another major climate strike is underway a correspondent bigot moss was in the midst of the protests and sent us this. story . some parents as well i've seen some really young children primaries schoolchildren lots of music it's very vibrant it's very colorful lots of fun they

had make signs you know like climate change as well as that hope but it's really a big turnout i have to say this place year which is just in the front of the british parliament has of late been filled with threats of protestors but today was a different seeing much more positive message i would say about snuggling very urgent the children have the real need to make the voices have. and because it seems british politicians have also been attending these protests what they've been saying. i think that a march here in central london is mostly really organized by by the children self organize there are politicians that have come out in support mostly opposition politicians british policies on on climate change not that if you look at. if you compared to the rest of the world series of may has committed the

country to be called a neutral by 2050 however there are huge questions that i'm very mental protesters are asking for example about expanding the heater attitude also about fracking and i think that climate change altogether is not as much on the public mind at the moment because bret's it is so much dominating out the public discourse so i think it's a frustration also of many what i hear you say there is another emergency that you should really focus on and that's not greg's it and we can really feel big get the energy and the kind of commitment of these young people behind you may get lost in london thank you very much for your reporting from there. on the momentum for these protests was created by great tune but as we know she's the in you see it at the front is a few just strikes today she's spearheading a rally in new york she traveled to the united states a few weeks ago to be there for the next week the next the un climate summit next week it was her appeal that energized the young and spread them to action was all

right john why do we want to know what scientists and veyron mental organizations and politicians have been trying for years to make the climate a matter of urgency in vain that 16 year old. has done it to a bird brave the open sea on a 2 week voyage of 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 of ecological crisis is a clue price is the biggest crisis you manage here to the 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 clinton protested 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 2 and back made it clear at a meeting with un general assembly president mary espinosa the she hoped the upcoming climate gathering would lead to concrete action you want the summit links 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 to. now turn back is counting on the support of her fellow

campaigners all over the world and continue a cry that. as you've seen even checking in with our correspondents reporting from climate protests all over the was let's now take you to paris the french capital i'm joined by our correspondent these then who is their. findings are they you're in the midst of a demonstration how big have the demonstrations been in paris. to follow a few 1000 people here in the seats of paris to die today but don't forget that there are about 150 gatherings across the whole of frons today and sent to me that's been talking to our students their pupils but they're also older people pensioners he's been telling me very deep. proud to see all these people coming out fighting for their future that we now need to stand together here the french

president a man in macross sees itself as a bit of a climate champion he met to the tune bed earlier this year do the people of france see him as a green president. rather depends on who you talk to one thing's for sure oh frank environmentalists will say they don't agree france hasn't reached its goal of bringing down c o 2 emissions and increasing energy efficiency this year they are saying though the french president is not doing enough to at least when you will entertain to bring down the road transport that's probably very polluting however some people here at the demo today especially some young people have been saying you know we want the government to do more but we don't think back was any different from any other government or any president he had before and that maybe he has now understood that he needs to do something because there's the wave rolling through france and people seem to agree that more needs to be done to protect the environment and they think

that the president by now change clothes and do forward to protect the environment just for the sake of his code image really and lisa received a lot of young people behind you but it seems that workers have also joined these filters what kind of impact have they had. a little impact so far because there's been a few hackers turning out here today it hasn't been the massive demonstration one of the massive demonstrations you might know from france you know in the past if you remember as some demonstration against the demonstrations against certain los there there were millions of people turning out that's not the case today and yet some people are hoping here that this might be the beginning that in the future mold burkas will join them and that they will then the pipes and together the full moon. policies better policies to protect the climate this might actually kick in and new whole new approaches we met more workers joining the strikers right he's

a lewis in paris the french capital thank you very much for that. says you see no matter where you go the young people are determined to make themselves heard young people in south africa have also been heeding greater tunes were called to go on strike not a demonstration is already underway in johannesburg where protesters marched on the country's constitution court to demand action on climate change. and get another 5 days to a future marches underway in cape town we can go over to our correspondent in cape town crease and it seems a lot of climate change of protests are underway in the country tell us about what's happening where you are. well as you can see in the background it's not so many people anymore most people are going back home at the moment but before we had hundreds of people coming here marching to the parliament house south africa

trying to address the politicians and trying to tell them how argent their needs is to take action on the global climate crisis how they call it and as he has mentioned earlier cape town was not the only place in south africa where these protests happens today also in jerks and to durban we have seen similar events taking place but i can't turn to felt the 1st time the impact of climate change had a huge drought how do you experience that. right i mean last year cape town was almost the 1st big city on earth to run dry because of this massive draws back then water was rationed only 50 liters per person per day it was the big topic everybody talked about it and although the situation has improved by now the dams reach a level of about 80 percent water is still a topic there still some restrictions on going you can't just fill a swimming pool was water here that's still forbidden and the town tennessee and cape town are saying this water scarcity will remain in the future so the situation

in cape town seems to have improved but what about the rest of southern africa. i'm richard we've seen of this year in several countries how problematic the situation is earlier this year in mozambique we saw a cycle on qantas and. killing hundreds of people then in the media the president just declared a state of emergency due to a massive drought there and in zimbabwe just came from the pipes are also running dry the dams are very low and the other water crisis is boiling up there so southern africa is really hit very hard by the effects of the changing climate. in cape town thank you very much for that update from there. of course we'll bring you more on those climate protests throughout the day from different countries but now let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world saudi arabia has invited journalists to inspect oil facilities that were damaged by drone strikes last weekend crews are working to repair the damage and officials say

a gill an ice breaker is set to begin a yearlong mission to monitor the impact of climate change in the arctic the border stenberg drift freely through the polar ice as it measures the extent of warming 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 it here 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 ams 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 pool large will be accompanied by ice breakers from china russia and sweden. and helicopters will deliver the necessary supplies. 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. a scientist is due to join that mission.

why the impact of climate change on the arctic is so important. the arctic ocean ice usually very consider very much ice covered ocean and be seen in the recent couple of decades of those he changed and some are large stars 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 so one. and only one that requires a complication shows that in your service temperatures actually both increasing it is threefold. 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 r.t. those can be a lot less in 2 days so we're not so far away from their may think you know. and that was been him and a scientist now for a very very kind of animal discovered in the wild it's the zebra but not the usual
