question star of the event so far has been swedish teen activist great attorney birds who sailed across the atlantic on a 0 carbon you told to raise you a 10 before the a leaders took to the stage to endure gave an impassioned address accusing them of speaking empty words here's our powerful message this is all wrong. i shouldn't be up here i should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. yet you'll come to us young people for hope how dare you. you have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet i'm one of the lucky ones. people are suffering people are dying entire school systems are collecting we are in the beginning of

a mass extinction and what you can talk about is money and fame or tales of eternal economic growth how did you 6 think of gratitude as they're calling out world leaders a little earlier but our correspondent alexander of our nominee is in new york where she's covering the climate summit and she spoke with climate scientist bill hare he is the founder of the influential policy institute based in berlin called climate analytics so there were leaders have come together here to participate in this you and climate action summit on the one day summit what are your expectations well i'm expecting that governments will respond to the science here which is saying that we can't just make small steps forward we have to make a big jump forward in order to increase the level of it of action globally otherwise there's no way that we can limit warming to one and

a half degrees right now we have the climate action tracker estimate the world is headed towards around 3 degrees warming based on current promises and policies of government so my expectation and hope is that today we hear a lot of governments step up and say we are promising to do a lot more and to put that forward by 2020 next year which is the agreed deadline for improving everything. the any specific governments did to do you would like to see more action from what i think the big emittance i would hope to hear a lot more from germany india china and of course a lot of the smaller emitters have to stand up as well and promise to do a lot more it shouldn't just be the small and vulnerable countries that promise to bring their mission to 0 by 2050 or might be productions by 2030 it has to be the big emitters that actually type. those big steps otherwise it's no way on earth that we're going to bring this climate emergency under control that's weak germany

passed new measures to come at climate change though it was a lot of criticism and what do you think about those measures well i saw them as very incremental a lot of the measures were measures that should have or could have been done quite a long time ago. and i would hope and wish that germany would stand up and promise to make a step forward germany has played a very important role over the years as a climate leader by itself and within the european union and we wouldn't be standing here today you know why even it hadn't been for the it leadership shown by the european union by the small on states and many vulnerable countries but now is that moment in history where the science is so compelling that the situation on climate change is really running out of control from the scientific point of view temperatures are rising faster sea level is rising faster there's a tick streams there's very intense tropical cyclones and hurricanes damaging parts of the world the science could not be clear on that we have to make in my distant

forts are countries like germany have to work out their own politics to move things forward every country has its own difficult politics this is the world we live in but political leaders really need to to show the way forward climate scientist bill hemmer there speaking to our alexander phenomena in new york want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. the united nations has announced the creation of a constitutional committee on syria which will include representatives of the government and the opposition it was secretary general antonio taguba that has said he hopes the committee can lead to a political solution and the country's long running civil war. i want to go to. iran says it will release a british flagged oil tanker seized in the strait of hormuz back in july authorities said the scene and pair oh it was free to leave after an investigation into alleged violations iran's sees the ship 2 weeks after britain detained an

iranian tanker after baltar. a leaders meeting in malta have reached a deal on how to resettle migrants rescued from the mediterranean sea the agreement aimed at easing pressure on southern european union nations will be presented to all $28.00 members next month they're hoping to resolve one of the most contentious issues the block has faced in recent years. on land at last in malta migrants rescued off the coast of libya are finally able to disembark on european soil in many cases asylum seekers have been stranded at sea for weeks while e.u. countries argue about who will take them. europe has wrangled for years over what should happen to migrants rescued at sea the use dublin agreement states that migrants must seek asylum in the 1st e.u. country they reach and that has been

a major bone of contention for european countries that border the mediterranean. now a deal struck by germany france italy malta and finland could finally see an end to the route over the redistribution of migrants rescued in the mediterranean. it's a plan that would take the burden of italy in malta and foresees the swift relocation of migrants to other e.u. members part of the plan could see germany taking in a quarter of those migrants to help process that asylum applications. the people that are brought onto land have to be redistributed to kind of their security status can be determined through a process of interviews but it's impossible to determine their legal status in such a short 4 week period so their right to asylum is for example what will be decided in germany. these are just the bones of the plan that will be put to the e.u.'s other interior ministers at a wider summit in october for now at least there's hope that could soon be an end

to the days when rescue ships packed with desperate people turned away from europe's ports. i should turn our attention now to hong kong that has seen 16 straight weekends of pro-democracy protests and the battle on the streets have been matched by a battle for the hearts and minds of demonstrators say the city stands with them government officials insist a silent majority exists one that's opposed to the protesters demands to be as much as willing or has been speaking with 2 retired police officers who belong in that pro-government camp. joseph it has agreed to meters although he says he does not trust the press so we'll mind recalling our conversation ok he is a retired police officer and a staunch supporter of the hong kong government's side in the current crisis the

side that he feels is not represented accurately in most news outlets. i start awarding the nails. since july. watching just a white or news reporter but you know because i can still get in touch what was happening from all those messages from my friends because the longer the protests last the more strident both camps refused to communicate with each other internet forums are shaping and polarizing opinions in each group rumors and conspiracy theories are rampant and when both sides meet things often get our. car for a long is also a retired police officer when he walks through his neighborhood it is hard for him to miss messages from the anti government protests they have set up a so-called lennon wall near his home. and while they do that here it says police

are murdering people but in fact the protesters a very aggressive the police are just maintaining order tot. mom has just returned from a long stay abroad and says he doesn't recognize his city anymore. in his spare time he sometimes helps out at police stations as a volunteer handing out food and drinks to the front line offices and while he says he understands demands for greater democracy he doesn't think they are realistic. while you think he's our legitimate i used to serve in the colonial police fals case eldar then the british government could decide on everything. carol hong kong belongs to china case at pace there are problems at the hong kong government can't solve it makes sense that by jing intervenes i don't buy a woman. but fewer and fewer hong kong as are willing to accept beijing zokora china and the clashes with police and protesters escalating with petrol bombs and

bricks being thrown by radical protesters and police being accused of deliberately hurting demonstrators and passes by. in a recent poll almost 3 quarters of respondents said that they thought police was using excessive violence joseph also started his career in colonial times does not agree that my time we are taught that when. writers of rowing petrol bomb it you'll. shut down the live rounds. but now that i think they are doing a great job in the sense that they are. deadly strain he's glad he says that he is not on active duty and the more. i'm back here in germany this country is bidding farewell to an aerospace pioneer signal and the 1st german in space has

died at the age of 82 while the east german cars may not trained in the soviet union back in the 1970 s. he spent 8 days in space a short trip but one that had special significance at the height of the cold war. by cohen or august 1988 a space flight that propelled a german into space for the 1st time and made. the hero in communist east germany a socialist figurehead in learned by heart words the political your own had given him. and how i did it take my flight to the 30th anniversary of the founding of the german democratic republic of my socialist fatherland. 25 years later the physicist took a pragmatic view of his greeting from outer space. because if you were given a task like that you can't say them before take off i won't say that otherwise

you'd miss played it and besides that i was an officer we were raised that way it was all part of it today people talk differently. about whether that small almost is another matter. the east german government used the space flight for propaganda purposes and presented it as a victory over west germany. was revered as a hero while the west german press downplayed the achievement after the fall of the berlin wall in work for the european space agency organizing cooperation between western european and russian astronauts and close ties to his hometown of morgan who took out an consonantal in germany home to the country's only space travel museum it was here that seek money and celebrated the 30th anniversary of his historic space flight. you're watching the daily news still to come. more than
