if you look at it that. oh. this is deja vu news live from berlin environmental activists staged drastic actions to draw attention to climate change and cities around the world members of the group extinction rebellion are aiming to paralyze traffic and occupied buildings to get their message across. also coming out the u.s. reportedly begins pulling its troops out of northern syria paving the way for a turkish offensive against kurdish fighters there kurdish groups say washington is abandoning. more bloodshed on the streets of baghdad anti-government protesters

clashed with security forces leaving more dead and injured demonstrators are furious about corruption and the lack of basic necessities. plus the trio old fellow researchers win the nobel prize for medicine william taylor and greg samantha and peter radcliffe claymore one of sciences most prestigious awards for their groundbreaking book. i'm sorry so much god that's good to have you with us the climate activist group extinction rebellion s kicked off worldwide protests warning of an environmental apocalypse here in berlin the protesters gathered at dawn to block streets in the city center of the next 2 weeks they will lead to civil disobedience actions in 60 cities around the world now protesters will attempt to peacefully paralyze cities they want greenhouse gas emissions to be cut to 0 bytes. 2025.

protest actions around the world and we have our correspondents in london bigamous and simon young here in berlin covering these protests for us good to see you both back at let's start with you in london where protests have just kicked off i tell us what's going on there. well i'm here with bridges one of the main arteries into central london and these bridges all across westminster across the political district have been blocked by a protest as i've seen police dismantling structures then protesters have quietly again build them up i've also seen arrests but at the moment at everything here is very peaceful which is aligned with the objectives of the place is this but. all right simon let's come to you here in berlin give us an idea of what the scene is here. well this is also

a very peaceful. here at the victory colon this is a key traffic roundabout in the center of berlin not far from the brandenburg gate there are several 100 protesters here who've all key point the streets normally they'd be full of traffic but today it's sort of festival scene with people singing songs and chanting slogans flying kites children playing it's really a rather pleasant scene but of course it's a determined protest as well as people who did mom doing what they call climate justice and they think the german government and other governments around the world need to take action now. all right very good let's come back to you i think we've got your line back up there in london extinction rebellions carried out various civil disobedience protests there what do wonders actually think of this group. i would imagine very makes i speaking to commuters here this morning who were

trying to get through cyclists who were just about to squeeze pause the protests and all of them i have to say were extremely supportive of the message of the protest as i spoke to one lady she was a pedestrian and she said well she she does support the general objective to change policy on climate change but on the other hand what about people who are already trying to live a green away who are taking the buses and who now call and get maybe to their place of work and i imagine there would also be some people in in cars here you know cannot go over a book block bridge and they probably will be quite critical but most of the people i've spoken to here in central london that's been really supportive actually and simon you know most of this is really to bring awareness to climate change but also to drive action and 2 weeks ago the german government agreed on a $54000000000.00 euro climate package but that package we understand is now looking a little bit less ambitious tell us more about that. that's right see me there

are media reports today suggesting that these plans by the german government which ship many climate protesters here say were already didn't really go far enough these plans seem to have been watered down the german government now apparently will not be committing to reduce c o 2 emissions by 2042 a specific target nor will it be committing to c o 2 neutrality by 2050 that's something that climate campaigners everywhere have been demanding really they're only committing to what they're going to do until 2030 the government says it's important to have incremental change that takes the whole population along and that people accept people here and other climate protestors of course are saying it doesn't go far enough it doesn't go far enough only radical action will bring the change that's needed all right our correspond

simon young in berlin and bergen for us in london thank you both as we've mentioned protesters there from extinction rebellion here in berlin have been disrupting traffic in the center of the city here's a closer look at this group and how they prepared for today's actions in the german capital. oh this is how environmental activists from extinction rebellion are preparing for today's protests and. one of them is 28 year old luke. she's undergoing training and how to behave when blocking a road and when being removed by the police. allah says she's willing to be arrested for the cause of 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 and i think it

will be highly symbolic if we are willing to be arrested and have our freedom cattails. extinction rebellion was founded in 2018 and claims to have activists and 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. attention is what the demonstrators and belin. the protests will last a week but for many the climate fight is a long term commitment liz who previously worked as a psychologist has decided to live off his savings and dedicate himself full time to the campaign. the good and evil of 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 americans. others hopes the extinction or 1000000000 will be successful in raising awareness about climate change so that governments around the world will begin to listen to have and happy is. all right let's talk more about these protests with polina damn kids she's a climate activist from the movement fridays for a future and she's with us here in our studio hi pulling a thank you for joining us we just saw extinction rebellion preparing for their protests here in berlin that started today what do you think of the extinction rebellion and this this type of protest is it something you support. we support of course you support because we're fighting for the same goal for the same like you know well not extinct so we all stand together but the type of protest is obviously

not the one front is for future chose but we haven't understanding for those who don't feel heard by the politicians anymore what does that understanding mean as you said it's a very different type of protest as and i mean we've seen extinction rebellion you know one of the co-founders being arrested for trying to fly drones near heathrow airport to disrupt flights there blocking traffic i mean is this really the right approach. well it's not for our movement because we have like little children and we want to make it possible for them to speak up too but we think it's very important to have different kinds of. that will target groups so that everyone can express themselves in the way they feel is right. are you worried that this type of protest because we have to say for ideas for future has been completely peaceful and you've been able to amass a really broad coalition of support behind you know teachers parents scientists are you worried that this type of protest by extension rebellion might anger people and take away some of that support when you actually need as you're saying solidarity

no i don't think so because extinction 1000000000 is their own movement and we are a different movement and people who feel right at friday's for a future with demonstrating and being a peaceful protest they will still stay with us and people who really don't feel hurt especially now where the politicians made climate package even weaker we totally understand they wanna do more or protest even with stronger tactics all right polina them good from friday's for future thank you so much for joining us here in a studio today moving on to some other news now it turkey is set to launch its long planned offensive against kurdish fighters in northern syria the u.s. has reportedly started withdrawing troops from the area clearing the way for the incursion to go ahead and u.s. troops were stationed close to the border with turkey where they were supporting kurdish forces in the fight against the so-called islamic state turkey sees these

kurdish militias as terrorists on sunday kurdish groups in the region held a mass demonstration against the turkish offensive they say they feel abandoned by the u.s. after teaming with kurdish fighters in the battle against the so-called islamic state. and let's get the latest on the story day that is yulia han is in istanbul for us hi yulia why is this happening now. well this is basically u.s. president donald trump suddenly making way for turkey's military operation in the north and syria this definitely comes as a surprise and it follows developments late last night a phone call between trump and turkey's president dredge up. to which the white house published a statement saying that turkey will soon move forward with its long planned military operation in north east syria and that u.s. forces will not support or be involved in it and what we're seeing on the ground is

that u.s. troops have started in the morning withdrawing from areas in the north and syria areas that are so far controlled by syrian kurdish militia and this is actually you know a major shift a stunning reversal of u.s. policy in syria because washington had so far significantly supported these syrian kurdish militia and considered them the most effective group in the fight against the so-called islamic state while turkey actually considered as them terrorists and that was the the reason for major disagreement between washington and in the past months and now it seems ankara god what it wanted what will happen now uli or are we going to see turkish forces move into the area. there are actually many many on oncet questions right now concerning the scale and

the time frame of this turkish military operation the turkish military has reinforced troops it has pulled together and pull over more military equipment so they say they are basically ready and they are just awaiting orders but it also remains to be seen what's coming next from washington because it's safe to assume that president trump doesn't have full support on this from the administration from some very high ranking and important people within the pentagon it's safe to assume that this is basically president trump coming up with a decision that needs further talking in washington so it's going to be interesting what we'll hear next from washington and you'll hear just quickly here the kurds say they feel like they're being abandoned tell us more about their reaction. well they have condemned the u.s. has moved there saying that and i quote them here it will have a great negative impact on the fight against the so-called islamic state they are

not the only ones a very concerned the u.n. the u.n. secretary and coordinator in syria has also warned parties of causing a major displacement off civilians in the area he said we don't know what's going to happen next but we are prepared for the worst so many concerns here many open questions all right our correspondent reporting for us from istanbul thank you. let's get a round up now of some other stories making news around the world hong kong police have arrested and charged 2 protesters for defying the ban on wearing face masks masks during demonstrations the protestors are the 1st 2 people to be charged under the new law the ban has helped fuel days of violent protests in the semi-autonomous chinese territory. a 2nd whistleblower tells intelligence officials that president donald trump has abused his power here democrats leading impeachment proceedings are now investigating whether trump pressured ukrainian president lot of resiliency

to investigate a political rival joe biden as well as biden's son. portugal's socialists have claimed victory in sunday's parliamentary election but they fell short of an outright majority prime minister antone acosta said he would start talks with other parties to form a coalition he has benefited from solid economic growth a following years of austerity. and opposition parties have taken the top 2 spots in kosovo parliamentary election official results show that the left is that if it does your party wins a winning with a 26 percent but it will have to find coalition partners to govern the vote was called after the prime minister resigned in july when he was summoned to appear before a war crimes court. iraqi officials say at least 15 people have been killed in anti-government protests in baghdad overnight it brings the death toll to more than 100 since violence erupted last week iraq's prime minister has announced reforms that are hope to quiet the unrest but tensions remain high. country in

crisis. the prime minister's efforts to quell the violence had little effect as the death toll rose on sunday. demands for jobs better services and an end to corruption have been met with force demonstrators accuse security units of firing on crowds and deploying snipers. we the youth are protesting peacefully what do they want from us why are they killing us. officials have responded with mixed messages the prime minister addle abdul mahdi offered to meet with protesters but he also defended the security forces. while iraq's interior ministry pointed the blame elsewhere. lim connecticut age to me there were no clashes of confrontation between the security forces and the

brotherly protesters but there were militias that target the victims. said if it were me the prime minister said the families of those killed in the protests will qualify for state benefits he also announced a string of reforms including an increase in welfare unemployment benefits and to create new jobs officials have asked the protesters for time to implement the changes but gaining their trust will be a challenge. for the nobel prize for medicine has just been announced it has been jointly awarded to 3 scientists william kalen and greg cements of the u.s. and peter reckless from the u.k. now they've been chosen because of their pioneering discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability this is the 1st prize announced by the nobel committee this year.

let's get more on this story now we have derek williams from give you science but this hi derek tell us who these 3 scientists are and why they won with these 3 researchers back in the 1990 s. looked into the genetic reasons for for how cells react to the availability of oxygen now every organism on earth needs oxygen we need them for fundamental metabolic processes and actually an earlier recipient of this prize back in the 1930 s. won the prize for describing the process of how of how that works how souter's turned with the help of oxygen into energy but the question of availability and how the cells within the body react to availability of of oxygen that was something that was happening at a genetic level that nobody really quite understood and so this work is really about that fundamental process how does the cell know there's not enough oxygen there or i have enough oxygen in order to do a whole wide range of things including things for example an exercise to provide enough oxygen to the muscles at the right time in order to get the energy to the

muscle ok so very important work was it expected that they would win. well it's it was surprising i read the websites like everyone who works in this in this particular area i read the websites in the predictions and and they were in the top 3 but that said it's no surprise that it is a surprise because there's so much fantastic work that's out there that's actually worthy of a nobel prize and and really you can break down the nobel prizes into sort of 2 categories one is something that's delivered is research that's delivered a tool for example and antibiotics or something in that direction or the fundamental basic research that tells us how things work and so much of science is about learning how things work and that's what these researchers did they taught us more about how this particular process works which is so fundamental to so many metabolic processes so what does this research actually deliver then to us and how can it be used well there's a there's a whole. list i made

a list metabolism exercise embryonic development immune response wound healing infection heart attacks the list goes on and on as i said oxygen and its availability affects everything really and when it comes to life and so it diseases like anemia but also cancer for example in the drugs industry cancer cells cause through using some of these fundamental processes they the tumor can call cause the body to create blood vessels to feed the tumor and by certain drug companies of have focused on those mechanisms if you can block that that development then you can possibly stop strangle the tumor or at least contain it and so they would have been able to do that without understanding these fundamental kinetic things that are going on when it comes to oxygen the bill ability and that's what these researchers did all right derek williams from the w. science thank you so much for joining us here in our studio. all right let's move on to sports now and the world athletics championships and
