with climate change demonstrations and protests are being held around the world today tens of thousands of students have crowded into public spaces in new zealand and they've been joined by parents and grandparents in what's being billed as the country's 1st intergenerational strike. also under way in south korea where hundreds of students boycotted their classes and rallied in the capital to demand the world leaders take immediate action on climate change. and here in berlin hans brand is in the middle of a protest right in the heart of the german capital welcome hans this seem to be fewer people out on the streets today than they were last week one of protesters say to you. well it was the big protest in germany where

exactly a week ago today there then more than 200000 people were on the streets here in berlin far more than a 1000000 across germany so why the protests this today are very large elsewhere in the world in berlin as you can see and in the barge several dozen cities across germany the numbers are rather in the hundreds today rather than the thousands but the mood remains very very fierce very combative as you can see the demonstration here is now moving onto the streets people are getting on to their bicycles and going to be arriving across berlin protesting against the political parties participating in the german government protesting against the german government's climate policies earlier i spoke to some of the people in the crowd and i think we might have some of their voices that we could listen to know. that this plan will not meet the targets we did our homework and we know that we have to acknowledge and we know that we are in the middle of a time of crisis. to mcnamee's package is an absolute insult to us young people and

some stand here on a day like this it's a slap in the face because i'm afraid for my future i'm afraid for the future of many people around the world you know it's just scary the same. man. so how could there and as you said these young protests just feel very strongly about the cause but most of all of them i have been with the pauses that the german government has come up with which was announced last friday. yes indeed the german government's plans to address the cry of climate crisis have been roundly condemned by people in the friday's for future movement and also by a position parties in germany people here feel that it's much too little much too late in fact they speak with distain about these plans saying that there has been a lot of talk for decades and factor and in recent weeks the german government has

made all sorts of promises but none of these they feel have been kept and so there is a continues to be a lot of anger directed against the german government and against plans which are regarded as being much too little much too late and how much of an impending detail 10 months how day you speech in the u.n. have on the protesters here. is indeed that was a speech that was. that all the protesters here praise and in fact they repeated that how dare you call that seems of been a kind of rallying call amongst the youngsters here that's repeated it several times in the rally earlier and they feel that what's great of tune back was saying that that kind of anger that she's expressing that's something that people here feel very much themselves as we heard i think in the earlier voices there are people here that are really afraid about their future and very angry at the parents' generation in fact what happened to us earlier we were arriving here with all our equipment in

a car and youngsters came up to us and said how dare you come to a climate demonstration in a car driven by a petrol engine so i think that's the kind of challenges that a lot of parents are facing when talking to their children these days the main question for they keeping a very close watch on the older generation cons beyond in the heart of but in thank you very much for telling us about the climate protests there in the german capital . ok staying with the environment in russia ranks of the world's 4th biggest polluter but the huge climate change purchasing jubilee last week will not matched in russia only a few 100 demonstrators took to the streets there in a handful of countries in the capital moscow one protester has been going it alone our reporter in the show when i met him and sent this report. he may be part of a global movement but in russia he's often on his own. has been making his solo stands

for climate awareness every friday since march his sign reads strike for climate the 25 year old wants more people to join russia's friday for future movement but he's up against the authorities they regularly refuse his attempts to register mass rallies in moscow but his one man protests don't need a permit he says the police are never far away. i'm not scared anymore. there was still my fear is. responsible for what's happening and i'm more angry than scared now i'm angry that we can't take to the streets like the people in europe because it's really important for us to all go out together and i know that i can't change everything alone i am angry at the politicians who are infringing our right to protest but over. a shark says there's not much reporting about environmental issues in russia he tells people about climate change whenever he can but not everyone is concerned. you know they're going to blow blooming is debatable

they say it's getting more then sometimes it gets colder they say that's the same thing it's hard for me to understand when you will know people didn't used to be worried about an environmental issues but the new generation is more conscious and they want their children to grow up in a cleaner place. for the environment so that the planet doesn't drive and garbage. every day issues like trash management have made more people concerned about the environment in russia even outside the capital there have been large protests across the country against garbage dumps including near the northern city of i. know we're going to russian president vladimir putin has recently changed his rhetoric on climate change and finally signed the paris agreement to limit global warming. when it comes to the environment of the climate things keep getting worse if we don't do anything then fast paced technological development will only

intensify the whole range of environmental challenges we're facing including climate change in the depletion of natural resources. and a shock once more than just words from the russian government for global climate action week he has helped organize demonstrations around russia a handful of young people are taking turns striking in moscow things even small protests are worth it. i know that i'm fighting for my future as well for example what's the point of having children if it's not clear what the state of the planet will be and the nature around us is being destroyed if we don't fight now we want to have a future we don't have a choice. is convinced that the tide is turning in russia but until others join him he plans to keep up his lone protests for the planet. let me now bring up to date but some other stories making news around the violent the british oil tanker seized in iran in the strait of hormuz 2 months ago has left the iranian

u.s. critics have blasted there are marks as witness intimidation. a phone call between trump and ukrainian president blood in ms lewinsky is what triggered the whistleblowers complained it's accused of pushing selenski to investigate his leading democratic rival in the 2020 us presidential election joe biden and his son things. house intelligence committee chair adam schiff subpoenaed to us by chief joseph mcguire to make him explain why he initially hadn't passed the whistleblowers letter to the committee whistleblower by their very act of coming forward to show more dedication to country more of an understanding of the president's oaths of office. when the president himself in

after months of delays and uncertainty afghanistan is set to vote in his 4th presidential election on saturday security is still a major concern as taliban extremists are threatening to disrupt the vote with suicide bombings and rocket attacks there fears advantage during the election could deepen political instability. it's scenes like this that the afghan government is desperate to avoid on election day the security plan to protect voters at polling stations was 8 months in the making but violence is just one of the challenges facing the officials organizing the elections 5 years ago allegations of systematic fraud marred the last one abdullah abdullah the man who lost to the current president ashraf ghani then is still his main contender now but. with all our strength we will prevent any kind of fraud in the selection at the last election we won't accept any government based on fraud but it happened because afghanistan was

facing multiple threats time at the start of withdrawal of foreign troops the rise of islamic states and also the taliban have an upper hand. to fight electoral fraud around 100000 election observers will monitor the nearly $5000.00 polling stations across the country but they will be allied to candidates. one 3rd of the afghan defense forces will be on hand but that is still not enough some polling stations will stay shut because the army cannot protect them voters are worried both about their personal safety and fair elections without that we will participate in the elections and large numbers of iraqis a government that it will provide us with security and choice of terms parents of the election was. actually. threatening us all the time to stop us from participating in these elections they frighten us every day but despite this i

believe most people will votes in the elections to defend democracy. for what for a couple of american on protecting both voters lives and democracy is a tall order for a government in a country where violent militants control or are active in almost half of the territory. joining me now from kabul is journalist and t.v. in the past of gone voters were not deterred by threats of violence by the taliban will be the same this time great people go out and vote tomorrow. so i've been time to a lot of people about this over the last few days and people in the major cities who like called a lot of wild in the east they're saying that if they feel safe in the city. they will go out there they will try to go out and vote those who are adamant vote the other thing we have to remember is that there are areas of the country where it's almost impossible for people to vote there even districts in kabul where it's just

too risky there's too much of a taliban presence for people to be able to go safely to a polling station and cast a ballot so these kinds of questions are going to come up and the other issue is that if you look at the election so far from literally the 1st day of the election right up until now there have been constant attacks on. election gatherings on candidates on. campaign events and so you know these sorts of things are really. adding to the fear amongst the people because the taliban have been very adamant this time that they will absolutely. you know sort of target this entire process and i think it will really come down to what it looks like across the country tomorrow so that elections are taking place in a very of a tense atmosphere is what you're saying now what about the leading contender is it doesn't have gandhi like it to be reelected or is he facing stiff opposition. he's

definitely spacing a much more concerted opposition and i feel like his team would have imagined in the beginning of action you know he's definitely seeing his chief executive of a lot of the law gain a lot of momentum. but of course they're both saddled with this idea of the unity government they both agreed to you know that the package before me to allusion to all of the problems of the last election and the fact that they reach a unity government which led to the creation of the chief executive office and president and he being declared the president without official numbers actually being published these are issues that they'll have to keep facing right up until that and these are things that you know they really have to try and answer for and to try and correct against and weeks seen that with doctor after law with the chief executive by specially basing his campaign on insulting the president and accusing him of any number of things as a way of trying distance himself from him and we've seen the president stay away

from debate it's you know there are 2 debates so far he hasn't shown up to a single want a kind of this election's also come shortly after peace talks between the u.s. and taliban a broke off one of it and that is that a factor in these elections. it was a huge factor because because you know if you talk to anybody up until september 8th so up it's well it's a september 7th and anybody in the country they would ask is there going to be an election. and as soon as donald trump went on his sort of like twitter tirade saying absolutely refuses to talk with the towbar that was when it became clear to the afghan people and to all of the candidates you know starting on september 8th is when each candidate really push their election campaign into overdrive posters started going up in more places banners went up advertisements were all over the television they started traveling to the provinces and making a parents and as i said staging debates in giving interviews and things like that whereas before it was relatively quiet was actually very quiet it was very quiet

compared to previous elections so it sort of peace talks the cancellation of them made sure that there would be an election. in kabul on the eve of presidential elections in afghanistan thank you very much. hong kong's chief executive carry law has met to a democracy activists for the 1st time since mass protests erupted in june and faced a barrage of criticism citizens accused her of ignoring months of protests calling for democratic reforms in the semi autonomy chinese territory. after 4 months of being ideologically opposed on different sides of the same city carry law marched forward to face a small selection of the protesters inside the sign or the tory. no matter how difficult it is my colleagues and i think that it's time to start a direct dialogue. because in the last 3 months
