this is coming to you live from berlin environmental activists staged drastic actions to draw attention to the calls of climate change in cities around the world members of the group extinction rebellion are aiming to paralyze traffic and occupy buildings to get their message across also coming up protestors in hong kong braved rubber bullets and clouds of tear gas to pile a ban on face masks as tens of thousands of demonstrators take to the streets once more police begin arresting those who violate the back. piece from crisis

deepens a 2nd whistle blower inside the white house tells intelligence officials the u.s. president abused his power in a phone call to ukraine and joy for germany as the world the classics championships wrapped up after a series of controversies. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program the climate activist group extinction rebellion has kicked off world wide protests warning of an environmental apocalypse the protesters are taking their rebellion to 60 cities around the globe on sunday they staged a series of events in london calling for greenhouse gas emissions to be cut to net 0 by 2025 over the next 2 weeks they're planning civil disobedience actions in cities across the world things have already kicked off in australia and new zealand

in berlin activists are planning to block central roads here's a look at how they're trying to make their voices heard. right oh. this is how environmental activists from extinction are body and are preparing for the protests one of them is 28 year old has the activists undergo training in how to behave when blocking a road and when being removed by the police. addis and the other activists are demanding more climate protection action from government that includes a call for a climate imagine sea to be declared to make that point back to this one to paralyze transport and belin. says she's willing to be arrested if necessary. violence. this this is the only way to show how serious we are it's not sufficient anymore to simply wave flags and demonstrate we need to make

clear how bad the situation is right and i think it will be highly symbolic if we are willing to be arrested and have our freedom cut tailed. by. extinction rebellion was founded in 2018 and claims to have activists in around 50 countries that protest method is civil disobedience peaceful but sometimes illegal and provocative to illustrate the effects of climate change the activists even dyed the river in switzerland green. the dye was harmless but the campaign got a lot of attention and polarized opinion the protesters have pitched their tents in berlin not just anywhere but right in the heart of the government district there are expected roadblocks have provoked mixed reactions from berlin is. i think it's bad we need to find a sensible solution

a broad consensus in society is what we're after and extremism doesn't help. that i don't know what they're going to achieve apart from creating. more traffic which isn't very climate friendly. doesn't or they should do it it's not a problem we need to do something about it don't wait for. the. extinction rebellion only really stop passionist of which parts have been and it intends to shut down the protest will last a week but for many the climate fight is a long time commitment on his who previously worked as a psychologist has decided to leave office savings and dedicate himself full time to the campaign. year the good and. then pursuing a career is becoming more and more relevant if you look at the broad context of our work here is very important so i can't imagine doing anything else at this moment and for the american. dream is that soon governments around the world will listen

to hand happiness and it's that goal that extinction or badly and want to raise awareness for over the coming days. and for more on the protests we're joined by dr clare wordly she says water just and research associate at the university of cambridge and she's also an active supporter of extinction rebellion good to have you with us 1st off to work please tell us in a nutshell what extinction rebellion is and what makes it different from other movements like birds friday for future thank you well to begin with of course we share a lot of the same aims as far as the future which is to get the world to take serious action to get government to take action on climate change and on other ecological crises but with x 5 is the future this is initially this is just school children this is there's not much role for adults other than coordinating so with extinction and this is adult saying we don't just leave this to the children we are also going

to protest and it's a grassroots movement. it's decentralized meaning that anyone can. and if they abide by the principles they can call themselves extinction about and they can go forwards we have a lot of connections across all the different countries we speak with each other but when the for example told what to do by the london extinction rebellion also one blend takes its actions and we make up points by using civil disobedience ok you this week your group is staging a series of demonstrations all around the world 60 cities understand what are you hoping to achieve with these actions. so yes so we've already kicked off in berlin with a process which started at 4 am this morning and we're hoping to do a variety of things firstly to show the public how absolutely serious these crises are i think it's very easy to forget about climate change and ecological collapse because they're not very nice things to think about we don't want to read about them all the time and by disrupting we bring it to the forefront of people's

attention we also bring it to the forefront of government's attention and show them that the people that the citizens and they're going to take this lying down that we want strong action that we have been trying for many years to get this through different means and the now the time has come where we actually go out and we stand in the streets and stay that until action is taken to try to draw attention to the urgency of that is the language that you use it it goes in the direction of public pocalypse we need to be and something needs to be done now how far given the urgency of it do you think it's reasonable to push your agenda what are the limits of civil disobedience for you so far extinction about and as a whole we have a set of guiding principles one of those very important principles is known violence so we would never say that violence in any form is efforts to fight so we remain within the scope of nonviolent actions so for example this includes

things like road blocks during ourselves to particular buildings of particular companies or particular ministries or departments. and causing disruption but in a in a quite usually quite a playful mana i'm not causing any harm to any living thing. to have faith in liberal democracy in like we have here in europe for the most part to achieve the what you believe is necessary in order to avoid. the collapse of our society in our ecosystem it's a very interesting question so i think one thing is that i do have faith in democracy and i do believe in democracy but i think that in many cases that's what we see as the head by special interests or if you look at for example the influence of lobbyists in the u.s. oil and gas industries and 120000000 in 2018 alone not being the government here in europe we have lobbyists from the oil and gas industries from the coal industry

from the automobile industry and these industries actually take rights away from citizens so we see across europe most people want environmental protections in the polls that have been conducted but i think that democracy needs to be a true democracy and i've got more to the people and that's why extinction about includes the citizens assemblies with randomly chosen citizens informed by science to take decisions thank you so much dr clare work lee she's with extinction rebellion she's a swallow just a researcher at the university of cambridge thanks for being with us this morning thank you very much in hong kong pro-democracy activists have suffered a setback in the territories high court the judge dismissed their attempt to get an injunction against the ban on face masks wanted demonstrations demonstrators reacted defiantly to the verdict with more marchers in hong kong central business district for followed by another night of violence. tens of thousands of

pro-democracy protesters continued to defy a ban on face masks on sunday kerry lam hong kong's chief executive had introduced the ban under colonial era state of emergency powers to try to end months of unrest pro-democracy lawmakers again went to the high court on sunday morning seeking an injunction against the ban they argued the emergency powers bypass the legislature and contravene the city's constitution today is about terrorism versus the rule of law i would say this is one of the most important constitutional cases in the history of all but a senior judge dismissed the case that only increased the defiance of hong kong residents large crowds marched through to wrench will reign in unsanctioned rallies . carry lam is trying to use the ban to keep us from coming out. she suppressing our right to express ourselves this will only push us further.

as night fell things turned ugly some demonstrators turning their rage on businesses with connections to mainland china and fighting pitched battles with police carry lamb has warned that the ban on face masks was only the 1st card in her hand the emergency law allows her to make any regulations whatsoever in the face of this sun rest. now some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.s. says turkey is set to launch its long planned offensive against kurdish fighters in northern syria washington is withdrawing u.s. troops from the area and says it will not be involved in the operation on sunday kurdish groups in the region held a massive demonstration against the turkish offensive. portugal socialists have claimed victory in sunday's parliamentary election but they fell short of an outright majority prime minister antonio costa said he would stay. talks with the

with other parties to form a coalition he has benefited from solid economic growth only years of austerity. and exit polls from tunisia's parliamentary election on sunday show the country's moderate islamists and not a party in the lead but its rivals are also claiming victory the election is seen as a bellwether for the upcoming presidential runoff between an obvious candidate and a jailed medium. to the u.s. now where democratic lawmakers have fresh ammunition for their impeachment inquiry against president donald trump a 2nd whistleblower has come forward in the case aiming claiming to have 1st hand knowledge of a phone call between trump and ukrainian president lot of near selenski u.s. democrats have launched a probe into whether. pressured selenski to investigate terms leading political rival joe biden and his son. president trump's impeachment

inquiry is providing extra is proving extremely divisive in many states opinion on the topic a split predictably along party lines with democrats in favor of republicans against but it seems there's one point both parties can agree on the dispute is a roading the quality of u.s. political discourse through. the market hole in allentown pennsylvania has plenty of fresh produce the chance to get a haircut and to have a chat with your neighbors everyone pretty much agrees here what's going on in washington is dividing the country like never before we're going to have one hell of a time here if they don't straighten out up there d.c. that's true one hell of a time we're going to have so if this is what they want. get ready people have had enough if you're in a position of power to take your position of power and use it to your advantage

then what you're doing is you're dividing this country and it's not worth the time or the effort when we called the uniting which is what we're standing for the united states allentown pennsylvania alliance in a highly competitive political district the democratic and republican parties are on equal footing here but in the last congressional elections the district chose a democratic congresswoman susan wanted regularly holds town halls to check in with her constituents these public meetings are somewhat of a microcosm mirroring the deeply divided state of politics in the usa. colleagues in congress are assuming impeachment which according to some polls the majority of americans do not support. i didn't come to congress to pursue an impeachment inquiry our president had with a foreign leader where he used his office to attempt to extract information about a political opponent he crossed the line clearly. and he's too dumb to even know

what he did which is shocking a lot of polarization divisiveness anger people doing crazy stuff because of politics i mean i get any political discussion with anybody about 2000 kilometers southwest of allentown is the written louisiana republican congressman mike johnson is not worried about his job his district is staunchly republican but even here this seems to be disagreement especially on the topic of impeachment i believe it is worthy to teach me hope that one tense time for those on this the will least seriously consider 'd it might be this or that i don't know what it was even like you're 'd not in the last 2 they went to it's that you did not commit a crime and there's a lot of people have a lot of issues with the president and his style and his twitter and go a lot of great right i mean to date no one has yet stated any specific crime or voters here are split on trump impeachment but they are united in their opinion

that political fronts have become to hide. the division goes all the way down to families all across this country and friends and those divisions are a real and they're having an impact so you try to disagree without being disagreeable you know we try to do that in community you can have family you can have community if you can't respect each other with so much political division many him i see prayer as their only hope. officials in baghdad say at least 12 people died in protests on sunday taking the death toll there to more than 100 since violence erupted last week iraq's prime minister has announced social measures designed to and the entry government protests but tensions remain high late on saturday gunmen attacked the offices of several t.v. broadcasters. the work of fun known assailants were attacked media offices in fact
