this is a line from. the world has ever seen. since millions mobilized to protect the environment more than $150.00 countries call on the world to do also the program. activists to stop the. politicians to accept the responsibility. of the german government seems to be listening to. the coalition makes a breakthrough on a 50000000000 euro climate protection package but will it satisfy environmental

activists and industry. welcome to the program. about world wide protests to demand action on climate change is continue right with huge crowds taking to the streets on almost every country on earth a movement that started with children skipping school on friday has become a global force uniting young and old the 1st place to wake up to this global climate strike is australia. around the world in just 24 hours the largest condit prize has the world has ever seen that's what organizers have been calling today's wave of strikes for the planet's. student

demonstrators have been turning out in their millions some of the 1st rallies kicks off in australia i think very run the front lines i mean change you know it's already happening it's not waiting for it to happen or you know a matter of time if it's already here this is the 1st time adults have joined the climate strikes on such a significant scale like here in hong kong where parents have also been taking parts oh. in thailand hundreds of young protesters strong the environment's ministry in bangkok before dropping to the ground to play dead. with africa among those continent's most vulnerable to global warming climate change protests in kenya has an especially significant sense of urgency. climate

change is real and it. doesn't matter. whether you're rich or. isolated. young activists in india joins millions of children to hold over in the hope that the adults empower care that calls oh well you know. what this is a fight is going to impact every day for the rest of my life this is a fight i'm fighting is it the one i inherit will not be boiling over which docks in stuff you know life i think of way towards which in which i will be able to be glad that the space is yes it was. over to the ukrainian capital kiev where demonstrators called for action not a day not tomorrow but now. make love notes plastic thousands treat the streets of warsaw history in the making for generations

to come. yet was. in the irish capital dublin students skip school to join the global crisis change marching across the city in a unified cool for action. and in stockholm the same and it's all down to swedish teen activists that attitude hirani in crime to take to the streets in protest has seen a day of positive change against climate change. after a quick skip around the world let's land for a moment in new york and join data because paul and alex hunter on nominee welcome alexandra what's going on there. so it's here like being at a festival or the music concerts the streets and the battery park in new york city

are packed so we had to move a few steps to other away from the stage because no phones are working there because there are so many people that have come together here to protest and it is a very color for colorful and the very cheerful protest many students wrote science and pictures with them showing birds animals the earth one side red oceans are rising so are we and i talked to 2 students high school students from new jersey day told me that they wanted to be here because it's their future that is at stake and because they want to be part of this global movement they also told me that they hope that they can convince you as president donald trump that climate change is a fact and that they demand a radical change of politics concept that change president trumps mine that's

a big order stay with us alexandra as we look at the person who started this whole movement to 5 days for a future found to talk about the swedish teenager is spearheading that rally in new york to tell you let's look at how she galvanized youngsters around the world. why he was lied just that why don't we learn. 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 good to talk has done it to amber brave the open sea on a 2 week voyage of puerto 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 the face and they don't manage to work together to cooperate and to to work together despite our differences they

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 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. in mexico. or in australia. or in europe. after her arrival in new york at the end of august to a bag made it clear at a meeting with u.n. general assembly president mary 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 done and. so we have high expectations. and or the sense to deliver. now turn back to. counting on the support of her fellow campaigners all over the world and we'll continue in a high that. i taught us on the phone naaman in new york alexander has gotten books presence increased numbers well we not sure about that it looks like it's likely because we have to say that she was white the i'm known here in the you as but after her arrival here she has become sort of a problem in n.z. go here in new york but i talked to some students here about her and they told me that they know her they admired her they think that her activism is very important

for this movement but they also told me that they would be here anyway with or without her and then the other thing that it's important to mention in this context is that the education department in new york city has allowed old students to skip classes today and to court dissipate and this protest without any penalties and that could be a factor as well so that many students has have said that they want to do it and it's to participate in this protest and what you enjoy the rest of the day for now though alexandra phenomena in new york thank you so as these mass protests are swept across palin and other major cities around the world german chancellor angela merkel announced a 50000000000 euro climate protection plan the measures i am that reducing carbon emissions and speeding up the move to renewable energy the breakthrough on a marathon overnight talks but not everyone is happy it's all about the future

germany's government presented its climate package in berlin's brand new museum for 2 complete museum of questions about the future its message it has heard and understood. the package is touted as a major step at the start chancellor merkel admitted that germany will not reach its climate goals in 2020 but said it will buy 2030. commission is it's very important to me that the document we are presenting today communicates that 1st of all we believe we can reach the targets and that we really have set the foundation for doing so. the goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent as compared to $990.00 levels germany is still far off that target and this is how the government plans to catch up by 2030. climate changing carbon dioxide will be priced petrol and heating oil will cost more however commuters will get

some tax relief flying will become more expensive through higher carbon tax train travel will be cheaper through reduced value added tax on tickets and the faltering development of green electricity is to be quick and home once we have also resolved not just to set things in motion but to keep an eye on it all to carry out a kind of monitoring which we understand to be within the framework of the climate protection law so we can see how we are progressing. uncle americal seems to be on the defensive and was quick to nip criticism in the bud when it. doesn't outside of politico this is where politics and science disagree and impatient young people to put it politics is about that which is possible that look if the german government plans to invest 54000000000 euros to slow climate warming over the next 4 years without stacking up any new debt. it's not far from where those decisions were

being made young protesters were out on the streets demanding action from the german government inspired by the fridays for future demonstrations lots of them brought their parents this time even the grandparents as thousands descended on berglund brandenburg gate many of them told the dublin that they want the people in charge to do much more to tackle climate change. so let's take a look at this with the people who actually are all one of the marches that i poured in damage and is that protest organizer on fridays for a future welcome to the w. so what was today like there was amazing like the 1st part was huge and i was at the front of the banner and when i got back to the bronx about tar we got the news how many people we were 270000 people just belin. and i was crying out of joy it was amazing and how do you organize that many people

in one place actually really have no idea that it was this huge we all did so much and called so many people to come and to make some tell about us and to tell about the climate crisis and they're all there so why is this important i mean i get that we all get the scientists say this is going to this is going to miss it but those of us with jobs and incomes to say this is terrible so much to do something but you've actually decided to go out on the streets why because i'm terrified i can terrify really yeah of the laws of having the future that the scientists are predicting right now if we keep going like this. it is going to happen like that and i really don't want to live in a world like what is it about the future that terrifies you. well the climate

change the way heat and nature like hurricanes and war at some point because we don't have enough resources it's not going to be found ok that we've just been talking about the package of measures that the german government has agreed is still to be passed by parliament something like just on the 60000000000 euros worth is that a good thing no it's not it's good that they want to do something but the things that it that they agreed on are by far not enough and it feels like a slap in the face for all of us and we just feel terrible about it i get the impression this sort of thing that nothing that any responsible government is going to do is ever going to be. a means to cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50 percent over the next 10 or 15 years to increase fuel taxes increase flight prices reduce train tickets boost wind and solar power production what's not to

like for example they didn't really say anything about coal they're still at 2038 and that's way too late. we demand 2030 this is in terms of extraction levels exactly so there are certain demands that we have and when they are fulfilled then we will be satisfied and it was on the point that the chancellor talked about the notion of politics being the art of the possible so for instance with with coal you talk about you how you want coal extraction to be reduced but there are whole communities whose incomes from life depends are based around that industry so what do you say to them out there in these rural coal mining. communities you know about him city go when you when you've closed all their lives this is this is the balance of i'm presuming so are there and i and we see them and we hear them and we

know that's not nice but also like what's there turn it of and just i think we should stop always comparing or like having a fight between social justice and climate justice because they have to go together and it's also about the social justice for the next generations you know this is the thing i'm sorry to observe the pressure on this because it's good having you here but when you talk about social justice it's hard for you it's hard for anyone to go to a community that right see this pit this mine this coal mine this is provided an income for you and your father and your father's father we're going to close it because we think that sometime in the next 50 to 100 years there's going to be a problem so how does your social justice down tell them that they're all going to be unemployed but it's a good thing well 1st of all we don't think that it's going to happen we have proof

by thousands of scientists who are always highness or actually we are behind them and 2nd of all sure it's not nice but what's going to happen to the later generations it's way worse like the way we will have extreme wars because of resources and people will die because of climate change people are already dying because of climate change and fleeing because of climate change so what's the social justice there talking to you thank you for joining attention from friday's fusion thank you. now we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at least 11 people have died in severe flooding in cambodia more than 10000 families had to be moved to safety days of heavy rain caused the mekong river to overflow submerging homes and crops officials say 11 provinces remain at risk of flooding as heavy rainfall is forecast until next week. afghanistan's president ashraf ghani has pledged

his release. now to bangladesh where the sexual abuse of children in islamic schools home addresses is a crime that often goes unreported but the killing of a 19 year old student this year has highlighted the issue she was burned alive at a school for reporting her teacher for sexual harassment that other victims are speaking out. mamdouh knows only too well what happens behind the closed doors of bangladesh's madrassas the university students studied at 3 of them during his high school years in the capital dhaka and sultan abuse there are widespread he says and anyone who studied in them knows about it. that sort of younger students are being touched inappropriately by the teachers and seniors often force the kids to touch their pain is. the students regularly face such an appropriate practices.

but the topic of sex abuse is to do in much of the conservative country and victims are often too scared to come forward now he in some other form addresses students have taken to posting about their experiences on social media hoping their honesty will help victims break their silence that they have often children who can't tell their parents because they feel ashamed patriarchal society libels men who complain about such violence is feminine so to refrain from being labelled feminine the boys never talk about it. on top of the shame speaking out can be dangerous in april this man's 18 year old daughter was set on fire on the roof of her dress after she filed a case against her principal she died from her injuries after days of agony. the case shocked the nation sparking an outcry for justice. mamdouh wants to keep up momentum on the issue. of whether or not consensual sex
