marching across the city in a unified call for action. and in stockholm the same and it's all down to swedish teen activists that attitude how runny and cried to take to the streets in protest has seen a day of positive change against climate change. let's hear more from d.w. correspondents around the world reporting on one of the largest coordinated protests in history. thousands of people have turned out here today in paris and there were another 150 gatherings across france the protestors message to president man in a car is that he needs to do more to protect the climate that strikes have been gaining momentum as today for the 1st time workers join the students and so the

protesters are hoping that my call will finally hear the message and live up to what he said he'd be a climate champion. this is what friday for future protests in russia look like a small number of young people have gathered on a may just be in downtown moscow and they're holding what are called solitary pickets where people protest near but not to next to one another but that's because it's difficult to get a permit for mass gathering from the government. agent capital a group of people including students who are skip classes are out on the streets demanding action on climate change they're demonstrating in front of the ministry of urban affairs and housing 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 the big role here 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 they see is a climate of motivations or. sonia follicle a reporter in telly let's go live now to new york to see what's happening that they don't correspondent a column like a welcome column gratitude book was speaking there today what she had to say. well credit to mark started out by saying how many people there were out in the streets today across the entire world all continents including and arctica and she was saying that this is in fact the biggest climate action protest in human history

size that those concerns everyone not of course just young people but adults as well which is why we saw many parents grandparents and teachers out here today as well and she ended by saying that this is not the culmination but merely the beginning of the climate action protest movement and this group of well knowing that wasn't much of a grettir fact. well she is well known among at the youth activists to form the basis of the spine of action movement among other people especially among adults she isn't quite as famous as she is and europe but now with this u.s. trip she is definitely gaining popularity here in the u.s. as well ok so these protests the big news on this side of the world politicians and other decision makers are joining in the protests there in the u.s.

. no we haven't really seen politicians participated in a and one of the main reasons is that the protesters have been stressing that climate change is not a political issue but that it crosses all party lines and so politicians really left the protests to the protesters and to n.g.o.s leaders today here in new york. the black cat in new york city thank you. and i should expect cities across germany have seen mass protests today organizers claim that more than a 1000000 people demanding that climate tat demanding action on climate change children inspired by the friday's future movement are both parents and their grandparents and they converged on the landmark a bra on the back gate meanwhile at china german chancellor i'm going to macro and i'm still 50000000000 euro climate protection plan the breakthrough follows

marathon overnight talks but not everyone is happy. it's all about the future of germany's government presented its climate package in berlin's brand new museum for . 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 by 2030. commission is. 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 p.r. months 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 used the doesn't outside of politico all this is where politics and science disagree and impatient young people to put it politics is about that which is possible that murkiness yes the german government plans to invest 54000000000 euros to slow climate warming over the next 4 years without stacking up any new debt.

but the climate situation in africa is particularly urgent correspondent adam krege a quarter of the young protesters in the south african city of cape town. so we're here with right now one south african students who came here and who was part of the organizers of today's protests in capetown. here today thank you today because you protesting for climate change you want climate action in south africa to stop when the government to hear our voices wanting to take action against climate change do you think the government so far is really acknowledge the problem and done enough here is it not is the problem of. him to do this right can share your knowledge i think of us a shout out but now it's kind of disappointing to see that he's not actually going to the new york for the united nations emergency climate emergency that just tells us that he does not care about this problem and he doesn't really care how much is affecting the people of south africa so the so not just one explanation is the speech of the nation address and you're talking of the president. gave us

a sound out of the tsunami but is not going to do anything since the south africa has been affected by this climate disaster we have a serious drought here and capetown do you think it's going to be worse in the future yes it's definitely going to be worse and the poor will be affected and they'll get even more when the vulnerable in our societies have become even more civilian effected by climate change generally speaking this continent is one of the most affected one we've seen a lot of climate disasters and was a bigger cyclons for example yet we don't see such a massive crowd compared to other countries why do you think more people are going on the streets to protest i feel like most people. understand climate change you don't really know if it's true or not and people are people of color who live in poor disadvantaged communities they do want to be here but they can't because it's so far from we did live and the be taking the train is not really safe though don't you catch the fans actually coming in support us when we know that they're also putting us back home thank you very much thank you i did increase that let's go to . children and adults brave the right to take part in today's global climate

strikes and their message was clear you're skipping lessons to teach you. house is on fire a warning set for people of all ages about the impact that decisions made today will have on generations to come so. that you. i'm here for climate justice. look at the polls i'm melting the world is being destroyed. time is running out so we're doing school strikes. whenever we can. get. kids you know i don't know i don't want this planet to be in bad shape. down this road. and i came here to be with all the others handed me being young and join people worldwide. in santoku my case makes that then. he should sign the past

climates agreements then the world can be a much better place. but it's really important because there are over 80000000 people living in turkey and the more we become aware the bigger the change is going to get so i think it's small steps today but you know we're a short period of time it's going to get so much better so i'm really excited some of our people don't have enough awareness and we believe we can change that that's why we're here today i mean there was a big pile on the real machine that animals are dying that was because the seas of being polluted. dawson feels pollute the environment cherry and that we know enough to live. those are some of the processes that. don't forget you can always get they go be news on the go just download from google play or from the app store i will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use it to send us photos and
