politics and was known for opposing the u.s. led iraq war and oversaw france's adoption of the euro however these lazy years were of the shattered by scandal and the corruption conviction. for friday's have come to be linked with climate change demonstrations and more protests are being held around the world. today tens of thousands of students are crowded into public spaces in new zealand and they'll be joined by parents and grandparents in what's being billed as the country's 1st intergenerational struck demanding more action on climate change fridays for future says it is staging much as if you were on the americas. let's talk about the difference these protests have made to climate policy here in germany look as carla speaks on climate policy in the german bundestag for germany's opposition free democratic party welcome to d

w let's start with friday's for future what your party is feeling about these demonstrations well 1st of all we have to say that they used generation that is inspiring so many politicians to ward small climate action is great however what when we see the changes we see in the movement in germany right now it's still good that we challenge that there's a challenge posed by them to was put in to act to do more but on the other hand there are movements within the movement right now that are going democratic that are going to watson and see the market oriented approach and that that is moving away from the agenda is that a more come for more climate change and jojo your party's leader has tweeted a tweet it in german but it in english i think political engagement of students is great however children and adolescents cannot be expected to see all global context the technically meaningful and the economically feasible this is

a thing for the pros i'm just stunned by that well i i i would say that this is not the not the way to phrase to phrase it but the very sense of self i do think in its core is correct because he's not saying that the pros are the politicians but he's saying the pros are the scientists for future and fridays for future have at least in germany move towards how from scientists futures from engineers for futures from people who deal with tackling climate change from a scientific but also from an engineering based you every day ok so. it's hard to know if it is a very interesting policy results that you so your leader says to the children leave it to the pros you say as you say that you will your leader phrased it badly but he was writing what he said absolutely ok germany's coalition parties last week we could go today in fact announce their response that they if they headed to new york

a series of proposals they talked about carbon pricing phasing out coal power getting more electric cars on the road. is that enough well we already see that this will not be enough to meet the $1.00 degree target and that is bad for the climate but that it's also bad for politically for the political well for the political worth in germany just because we would have had the chance on friday to set a real goal to really propose positions that will reach these goals and all they want is at least they would have gone further yes of course was a different approach what is what is so what is the biggest failing and what the german government has proposed on the c o 2 limit there is no c o 2 limit there is no there's no good way to to see that the goals will meet their targets but. what it and what is missing or what is badly designed says you $2.00 pricing because that should be the backbone of every climate change policy if you

will go to emit c o 2 then you need to pay for it and pay big absolutely and you don't believe the price is set a high enough well the price is set on a while for our proposal the prices are not the problem because we would have set the limit and then have a trade in emissions trading system but if you choose the way to go for a c o 2 texting then the prices are not by by any means near enough to what they have should have been on the one hand and then the other hand they are badly designed because there are lots of law. or juridical questions this is not clear if there is a tax weights and working in germany all this stuff is not clear you can read it does sound like really the pressure is on from from whichever whether it be from politicians like yourself or indeed from the public finance. co from germany is a free democratic party thank you. sport now in brazilian football a name serving his former club boss alone to the 27 year old was linked to
