kind of a will. friday's have become links to climate change demonstrations and more protests are being has around the bonds tens of thousands of students crowded into public spaces in new zealand they've been joined by parents and grandparents and was being billed as the country's finest intergenerational strike total assholes on debris in south korea where hundreds of students boycotted their classes and rallied in the capital city to demand that leaders take immediate action on climate change. only i spoke. to was to climb a courtesy and i am still among the protesters and their message well it was that the big protests in germany were exactly a week ago today 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 about 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 riding across protesting against a political party is 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 climate crisis. came back climate package is an absolute insult to us young people as we 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 that's. my man. so how could there and as you said these young chess just feel very strongly about the course but what all of them happy with the poses 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 frightful 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 who knows how much of an impending need to 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 have 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 greater 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 our 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. that was a fun and hans van at a climate protest in berlin talking to me just a short while ago let's stick with environmental issues in russia france is the world's 4th biggest polluter but last week's huge climate change protests world wide were not matched there only a few 100 demonstrators took to the streets in a handful of cities in the capital moscow one protester has been going it alone now i reporter emily sherman went to meet him and sent us this report oh 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. just the ocean you're right i'm not scared anymore there are still my other fears. responsibility 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. ashok 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. no there is one of the local warming 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 the russian president vladimir putin has recently changed his rhetoric on climate change and finally signed the paris agreement to limit global warming. you know that's 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 range of environmental challenges we're facing including climate change in the depletion of natural resources resources at 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 won't have a future we don't have a choice shock 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. if we now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the bond the british oil tanker seized by iran in the strait of hormuz 2 months ago has left the iranian port where it is being detained. in pedal was taken by iran's revolutionary guards 2 weeks after an iranian tanker was seized by britain that ship was released and just. saudi arabia says it is to start offering tourist visas for the 1st time as part of the leadership's push to. diversify its oil based economy the ultra conservative kingdom will initially allow holiday makers from 49 countries. have previously only drawn to for short term business trips religious pilgrimage or for

travelers with family in the country. france is paying its last respects to former president jacques chirac who died on custody at the age of 86 people have been coming to the presidential palace to honor the center right politician who dominated french politics for decades but his lead. by scandal and a corruption conviction. turning off the u.s. for president donald trump is called the democrats' impeachment inquiry a disgrace and he's looking for ways to end it the whistleblower complaint accuses the president of soliciting interference in next year's u.s. elections and unnamed intelligence officer alleges that trump pressed to ukraine's president to investigate his leading democratic rival former vice president joe biden and his son the complaint also accuses the white house of keeping the phone call a secret. defiant as ever u.s.

president donald trump slams the impeachment inquiry as another attempt by democrats to get him. it's a disgrace to our country it's another which charge here we go again what these guys are doing democrats are doing to this country is it disgraceful and it shouldn't be allowed they should be a way of stopping it maybe illegally through the courts now video has emerged of trump discussing the whistleblower alluding to how spies used to be executed by the us critics have blasted there are marks as witness intimidation 1st. to. receive these are the pieces on. the you know more. than 3 weeks earlier with. a phone call between trump and ukrainian president further ms alinsky is what triggered the

whistle blowers complained it accused trump of pushing selenski to investigate his leading democratic rival in the 2020 us presidential election joe biden and his son things earlier this month house intelligence committee chair adam schiff subpoenaed u.s. spy chief joseph smith to make him explain why he initially hadn't passed the whistle blower's letter to the committee that whistleblower by their very act of coming forward and showing more dedication to country more of an understanding of the president's oath of office than the president himself in the tense committee hearing mcguire defended consulting the white house before releasing the whistleblowers reports the director of national intelligence according to the complaint senior white house officials try to lock down all details of the phone call between trump and selenski democrats said this reeks of a cover up a complaint reports a. quote repeated abuse of an electronic records system designed to store

classified sensitive national security information which the white house used to hide information of a political nature this is a coverup. if it happened. away from the fear in congress at the white house president trump met with police sheriff he was that's a highlight his credentials on crime as the us again debates whether the president himself has broken the law. and for more on the full lot in washington to this story we're joined by a reporter. now we don't hear trump in the video saying comparing a whistleblower to a spy and syncs spies used to be executed what's the reaction been to that well we've had some reaction from top democrats in the house of representatives now the chairman of the foreign into foreign affairs committee the intelligence committee

and the oversight committee they've issued a warning to donald trump telling him to stop attacking the whistleblower in their written statement they say the president's comments today constitute reprehensible witness intimidation and an attempt to obstruct congress this impeachment inquiry threats of violence from the leaders of our countries have a chilling effect on the entire whistle but process with grave consequences for our democracy and our national security now we're seeing critics of the president rallying behind the whistleblower crowdfunding campaign has been set up to help cover any legal fees for the whistleblower and just in the last 24 hours they have raised more than $100.00 or nearly 130000 dollars already the dollar trump has shown great resilience in the past in the face of allegations investigations full skandhas is any indication that this time could be different to trying to profit

out of this book which range from as the victim of a witch hunt they have launched a campaign called the impeachment defense task force base the local local chapters of the g.o.p. of the republican party. raising money by selling t. shirts for examples we have an example here suggesting that impeaching the president means impeaching them we have comment from his son from don jr he's suggesting that this is just the latest in a long row of failed attempts by democrats to take down his father he tweeted fortune half years we were told there was collusion than obstruction that it was a cover up rinse and repeat we also have the chief of staff of the republican party richard waters he suggests that this in fact is not hurting charm it is helping his course now he tweeted team from the republican party raised nearly $3030000000.00

in the last week next to donald trump democrats are best fundraisers now remember many democrats have not wanted to impeach him for exactly this reason because they believe it could in fact you know help his cause in the next is election but it seems more and more more more democrats ana coming around we had a look at some opinion polls one poll on politico suggest that support for impeachment is increasing among democrats republicans of course there has in fact been a little shift. it's down 5 percentage points in this last week but still 90 percent of republican voters are standing firmly behind their president so it's still early days you have to see how that or pans out or to our 2nd thank you very much for those insights. police in nigeria have rescued more than 300 people who were being held captive in a building in the northern city of doing most of the captives the children and many

were being held in chains a police spokesman said the building housed an islamic school and that several teachers have been arrested it's still not clear how long the children had been held there. oh. turning now to afghanistan after months of delays and uncertainty of gunnison is said to vote in its 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 are fears the violence during the election could deepen political instability. it seems 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 the last one was 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 i said 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 a 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 shops 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 the government that it will provide us with security and she was the terms parents of the election was going to follow was actually the taliban are threatening us all the time to stop us from participating in these elections they threaten us every day but despite this i believe most people will votes in the elections to defend democracy. and of a mix of. 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. in the cost of gone voters were not deterred by threats of violence by the taliban will it be the same this town where 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 city select call general of wild in the east they're saying that if they feel safe in the city. they will go out there they will try and 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 he is saying now what about the leading contender as is the president of ghandi lucky 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 the election 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 lucian 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 when you've been declared the president without official numbers actually being published these are issues that they'll have to keep facing right up until that hand 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 to distance himself from him and we've seen the president stay away from dipping it's you know there are 2 debates so far he hasn't shown up to a single one looking at this election's also come shortly after peace talks between the u.s. and taliban a broke off one of the 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 until it's a september 7th 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 he absolutely refuses to talk with all of our dad was when it became clear to the have on people and all of that can any you know starting on september 8th is when each candidate really pushed 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 appearance and as i said staging debates and in giving interviews and things like that whereas before it was relatively quiet was actually very quiet. and 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. disposal in for fans of jail in football it is a bunch of them to seek a weekend to hand signal a surprising it is at this stage with by and not surprisingly in hot to see it but this could be approved crucial match day from bruce had gotten stuck in ambitions
