good. as ever seen so say the organizers as millions mobilized to protect the environment marchers in more than 150 countries calling world leaders to do more also coming up after marathon talks german chancellor merkel's coalition government makes a breakthrough on a 50000000000 euro climate protection package but will it be enough to satisfy both industry and environmental activist.

my ass waiter welcome to the program a day of worldwide protests to demand action on climate change is continuing with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets the movement started with kids skipping school on fridays and has grown to become a global force uniting young and old we began our reporting here in the german capital where organizers say an estimated 270000 people converged on the landmark brandenburg gate. it is a measure of life and death nothing less this is how many of those demonstrating here in berlin see it when it comes to global warming these protesters us standing on melting ice blocks. if you know what i want to demonstrate so that things get better now and i won't be destroyed and yes. sure this i wouldn't things to change

i want us to do more and talk less. this time it's not only the young protesting for more climate protection some proud their parents and grandparents people of all ages are demonstrating here in the heart of l.a. and they are asking the german government to really take measures against global warming but many here doubt that things would really change for the better. the german branch of the worldwide freitas for future movement has organized this protest they're asking the german government to completely switch to renewable energy by 2035 and sure respect the goals of the paris agreement they're getting support from hundreds of entrepreneurs. yes entrepreneurs have to promote climate protection it isn't right that big companies work out of backroom climate deals that won't change things this is about our children our grandchildren about my life

. bit off that i do business better if we focused on humans and the environment and not just profit. demonstrators here do not only asked businesses and the german government to do more they see climate change as a global phenomenon that has to be tackled internationally in a joint effort and it's not just us in germany but all over the world many things are going very wrong the classes are melting there will be more floods. many here say that germany as a rich and technically advanced country has to take the lead. regarding climate protection. as the mass climate protest is underway in berlin germany is governing parties finalized a deal on a major climate protection package after marathon negotiations chancellor angela merkel announced the details of the deal between her conservative party and their social democrat partners the deal includes incentives for buying electric cars and

measures to help households transition away from using heating oil. for more on these closures are now joined in the studio by our chief political correspondent linda crane and business reporter steven beardsley thank you both for joining us so melinda the coalition struggle struggled for more than 18 hours to get to this agreement is this result though really the big solution that germany was promised no it's not if you look at the centerpiece of this package in the package spend 70 different measures but the centerpiece is a carbon pricing mechanism that's one of the reasons they were they are negotiating through the night because it was hard for the grand coalition the social democrats together with a good marcus conservatives to agree both on what kind of pricing mechanism they wanted and at what level it should come into play and basically the level they have chosen is a pretty low level it will be phased in low and gradually meaning the impact on

fossil fuel prices is going to be fairly low at 1st now it will phase up toward the end of the decade of the 20 twentieth's but basically experts had said that the carbon price needs to be around $35.00 euros a tonne for it really to have an effect on behavior this measure isn't going to get to that until sometime in the middle of the 2020 s so for instance the leader of the green party declared herself bitterly disappointed however the chancellor seemed to anticipate criticism like that she said scientists may tell us we could and should move faster but the fact is politics is. the art of the possible and what's possible right now is only a compromise that does take everybody along so that was her answer to the critics that's even in the middle of all this what does this mean for the country's budget where this has been a very important point because of course germany has that strong tradition of a balanced budget as melinda knows this is something that generates a lot of domestic debate especially recently because interest rates are so low and

so a lot of people are saying it's almost criminal that you're not borrowing right now especially when you have such a major climate infrastructure need and the rates are so low they're negative but it's what this agreement says that they're going to abide by their budget plans are going to abide by the balanced budgets and that for the 1st few years they will pull mostly from the budgets and from an already established environmental include climate funds but then as that emissions trading system starts to kick in they're expected to generate revenues for other things what's also interesting they plan to establish a green bond system this is also been a subject of debate recently because the proposals were for a 2 percent interest on that when people are paying germany right now to give them their money and hold it for them so it doesn't physically make sense. speaking of people paying budgets all of this what does this mean for your average charmin what are people going to benefit from in this new package where the chancellor basically

said all of this is aimed at changing behavior at make at getting people inducing them also through incentives and disincentives to shift away from fossil fuels to more climate friendly technologies they know there will be some subsidies for electric vehicles for example for more rail travel for wind those who drive are going to feel the pinch eventually diesel and gasoline prices are going to go up but all of the politicians who spoke today in introducing this package said we are absolutely intent upon ensuring that there is climate justice in this package that means the burden should not. fall and those who can least afford it they will be compensated for example there will be tax breaks for commuters critics say that will actually undermine the behavior of the swift shift that we're looking for but there was a lot of discussion today about the fact that it is essential to bring people along the only go along if it doesn't hurt too much. so it sounds like steps forward for

climate activists but how is the business world now reacting to this even seen any really strong reactions to this so far that a lot of these measures were accepted this was always a debate between whether this was going to try and curb consumption or whether it's going to invest in new technologies the latter is what business wants and we've actually talked to the head of the german airline industry earlier today before these package came out he said we would love to be carbon neutral we don't want a carbon pricing plan especially since people want to fly more and more actually they're not curbing their behavior but it looks like in this package we don't see any efforts to help their own industry for example find a carbon neutral fuel which you know is supposedly out there but needs help and support in other ways we do see efforts to really help industry through support of packaging and does this deal provide industries what they've been looking for i think for the car industry we should really look at that it does provide them 2 key things that they needed and wanted one was an extension of a tax subsidy or no startup subsidy it was a it was

a return i believe of $4000.00 credits for the 0 credits extends that actually increases that for cars electric cars under 40000 euros that's something that could help sell cars and then importantly charging stations there's a plan in here to build those out to 1000000 charging stations in germany by 2030 currently there are 17000 across the nation so you can picture how much investment that's going to require but that's what the industry wants and melinda quickly we've seen these mass demos happening on the streets has there been a reaction from the people who are out today you know they were too busy with their protests met the fact is this is not the bold action they have been demanding this will not get germany where they want to see it go so i think there will be some disappointment in the days to come. in and even beardsley thank you so much for joining us. the day of action to protect the planet began in australia and the world wide protests are still getting momentum let's take a look. make love not plastic thousands tread the streets of warsaw as

part of what's claimed to be the biggest global climate protest the world has ever seen yet. the global push to save the planet his history in the making with protesters demanding a better future for generations to come. in the irish capital dublin students skipped school to join the global crisis urgent change marching across the city and a unified call for action now. and in sweden the same with parents allowing their children to step outside the school gates in stock home for a day of positive rather than climate change. this is the 1st time adults have joined the climate strikes on such a major scale with africa among those continent's most vulnerable to global warming

climate change protests in kenya have an especially significant sense of urgency. doesn't isolate. by. children in india have these heating teena activists closer to its running cry to take to the streets to fend off environmental disaster thank you 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 for at the one i hate it will not be boiling over with doxy and stuff you know i'm fighting off way towards which in which i will be able to be aided by things like millions of children around the world to the adults in power that call when do we want to know what do we want. and i will take
