course. this is coming to you live from berlin forging new alliances in the fight against climate change a day after the u.s. confirmed its pullout from the paris. france and china sea to stand side by side president. and being reaffirmed to support for the landmark 2015. every both of. course are coming up as still not for mass demonstrations in chile people unhappy with the way that their country works and look to new ways to

channel their true tests. i'm shopping for groceries in caracas cried so stricken venezuela raises the minimum wage for the 6th time in a year but redrawn away inflation how much will it be by. glass enough special coverage marking the fall of the bird and will turn 2 years ago today we look at football and an emotional match when fans of the 2 parts of berlin came together for an encounter in the west after decades of separatist separation. of a warm welcome to you i'm. chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart in. have issued a joint statement reaffirming this strong support for the paris climate accord in

beijing president mccrone said cooperation between europe and china on emissions would be decisive it follows the trump administration's move to start the former joined us from the 2015 accord mochi and mccraw have said the accord is. over the past 2 years in the fight against climate change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment that i regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices. when china the european union and russia ratify the paris agreement and make a firm commitment that the isolated choice made by one or another country change the course of the world. and feeble with me i have in the studio tim a schonberg he's from debbie's environment desk with him tim now we have both the presidents from france and china talk about the practice climate accord being is

reversible what does this really need me explain a bit china is the largest emitter of c o 2 emissions world wide relying on coal as their prime energy source at the same time china just agreed to to reduce their order to from just from 2030 on from then on not emitting more it. so furthermore china has just status as a developing country within the paris agreement this means that their commitments are even less binding than the commitments off industrial countries so this agreement this. statement has to be put in a context of the e.u. trying to buy in china more into the paris agreement for speeding up their targets so among them a call is on the e.u.

mission regarding climate change in this context here so you is kind of trying to take the lead. in time of policies so let's take a listen to what the chinese president xi jinping had to say. by the religious dobbins in the face of some of the most major changes ever seen over the last century china and france as permanent members of the security council and representatives of eastern and western civilizations must assume more responsibilities as 2 powerful nations. so we can. being a talking then when he's talking with china taking more responsibility but in actually look capita to china is not the biggest the new to it is australia and us is one of the biggest but uta's given that how much of a gap will the u.s. is putting out of the climate accord have well definitely the withdrawal of the

united states out of states out of piracy agreement is a big political loss definitely just to give one example back then when the agreement was signed china and india just agreed in large parts to make commitments because the us united states were also taken action so now that is definitely a loss a gap sorry. but as we see this agreement being announced as irreversible we see that there are attempts and there is an effort to keep this agreement alive and coming to a question if they you and china are able to to fill up the gap oh this is a and agreement on the paper so far there were no match measurements follow so far and also china as with the start is as a developing country within the agreement will not have to pay for the global global climate fund which the us did so they were not close this financial gap or

something now at another level you have some $11000.00 scientists coming up with proposals and talking about the urgency off taking action to avert climate disaster this seems to be a broader momentum growing in society on dealing with this issue well definitely we have seen protests last year's the last months of fright of a future. many civil society groups the green parties are strong in the polls at least in europe so also the commission commissions. didn't elect was it off on the line announced in a foot 1st speech we want to push the main topics the climate topics further in the next years so it is definitely a momentum but ok what is coming out we have to see that there in december that we will have another climate conference in madrid and if there were further stacked

steps being taken if there yeah if there are more agreements we have to wait for that but we also have to be. clear about one thing this trip from across at the meeting with with cheating paying oh ok they had this disagreement making the players agreement irreversible calling versa but at the same time they also contracted trade deals about for about $15000000000.00 so it was also about that to be have to keep it in perspective as you said tim schoen but from the environment desk thank you very much for that thank you that may not bring you up to date but some of the stories making news around the want gunmen attacked a security checkpoint in southern thailand killing at least 15 local security volunteers police say the suspects muslim separatists it's the worst attack in years in the region many of the 7000 people have died in an insurgency that erupted 15 years ago. schools have reopened in the indian capital delhi after being closed

for 2 days due to air pollution crisis and quality has improved slightly since the weekend the group means at unhealthy levels emergency has triggered protests at the government's failure to take action. thousands of people marched to the believe in capital la paz to protest against the reelection of president evo morales they claim that elections held on until the 20th were rigged supporters and also had their own demonstrations. authorities in chile say the number of people taking part in the street protests that have gone on for more than 2 weeks is falling at least 18 people have died and thousands have been injured since the andras began a real hike in public transport fares but by tuesday only a couple of 1000 people were demonstrating that's according to the mayor of the capital santiago. our reporter nicole is in santiago and she says some people have

abandoned street protests and instead they're taking a more intellectual approach to reforming the current system. it's another day of protests in santiago de chile but any ball isn't going he lives only a stone's throw away from plus a tell you the epicenter of the country's mass demonstrations but a couple of weeks ago he kicked off a different kind of mobilization a neighborhood gathering known as. we didn't think anyone would come and we were a bit pessimistic. but the turnout exceeded all or expectations. so we sat down to check analyze what had happened and what we hope the chile of the 21st century it would look like. but i don't know if. the meeting soon grew too big for the park so today the neighbors are meeting at a local hostel some 80 people from all walks of life. this

type of forum is not a new invention in latin america the open could build oh dates back to colonial times as a communal gathering in response to emergencies or disasters and standing together in the face of adversity is still very much the essence of the could build or today . if we want a better future as much of a cliche as that might be we can't just think about how sounds we can fall back into individual. we have to take care of each other this is bigger than ourselves can feel those are emerging all across these days but as grassroots assemblies they all have a common weakness. the big problem with the company is that they generate hope and that they lead people to think they are determining their own destiny. but really they're only providing a platform for desires that can be taken into account but might as well not be and

that's a problem. but that this could build you know in santiago nobody wants to believe that they're just dreaming up their own version of utopia broken up and small task forces they drafted. for their future. if this happened the neighbors will have to get the government to listen how the that will certainly be worth a discussion during the next. hyper inflation is crippling the economy to help give people spending power the government is in. for the 6th time but the increase is still. just a few a month. when shopping to see what by with the minimum wage. it's supposed to give venezuelans more purchasing power the latest hike in the minimum wage means workers will receive $150000.00 in cash they also get

another $150000.00 in food stamps each month sounds like a lot to me but what can you actually buy with it. viz 3 bottles of water and 2 bread rolls cost more than a quarter of the monthly wage what the study. 300000 is not enough to buy anything with but when you factor in transportation food bills and recreational activities you just don't have enough. of a. good look at my particular beef cost $60000.00 bodies and a bus ticket now costs 2000 and everything is way too expensive and the minimum wage is not enough. i went shopping in caracas to put the new minimum wage to the test myself i bought some groceries 417-0000. that's more than the minimum wage for just a few items but i still have most of the food stamps left so i bought some onions.

from through russia. and cheese. i bought 18 eggs 440000 body bags and there was just enough left to buy a drink. if i'm through go i can make these groceries last for me for a month but for a family it's not very much and i'm not including a lot of protein in these groceries nor personal hygiene products and for an overall monthly salary it's not enough to cover public transport or public services like water electricity gas and telephone services so for a family it's not very much. you're watching t.v. news coming up ahead as we look back at the historic football match off the full list of bombing bullets in chancery. east of the city to go to the west for the 1st time in decades. but 1st british prime minister barak johnson is due

to see the queen shortly to block the official start of the nation's election campaign follow it was formally closed in the wednesday morning ahead of the ballots to be has on december the trust the election has been called because british politicians are still unable to agree on a way forward departure from the european union. joining me now from london is our correspondent begin to get the official election campaign starts today what can we expect from boris johnson and his conservatives. are we already seeing the 1st signs that this might be a very bloody campaign already some past attacks when boris johnson has come pads jeremy coburn his main opponent from the labor party to use of stalin and his tactics we've also seen case of an accusation of fake news where the conservative party has edited an interview that labor's brecht's that spokesman q.

stallman has given on television and they edited in such a way that made. really an apt and frankly quite stupid so there's been a lot of criticism already on that so it's not exactly what the country needs of the room and the country is already really polarized and we're seeing that the campaign is going to be quite past and possibly quite nasty actually and what the opposition then a big focus. well the labor party is also not exactly trying to bring this polarized country polarized by bragg's it closer together from what we have seen so far labor's trying to paint the conservative tory party as as the elites really are they are associating them with tags dodging billionaires they single out if you rich billionaires here in the u.k. that they said they're going to target people like that. so they are also quite

quite past not maybe as much as as the conservative party so far they are trying to also shift the discussion more on that domestic policies they want to be seen as the party for the working class the party that looks out for for the very to that doesn't feel how they want to shift the emphasis also on the mess to policies like health for example and and redistribution of wealth which is which is that main message and to get i know it's early days but given recent opinion is it possible to speculate on the outcome of this very polarized election. it's really incredibly difficult because we have seen that it comes have a default has consistently led over over the last month and we also know that jeremy colvin in particular the main opposition figure really has very bad past in

the ratings but the dark horses in this election are going to be the smaller parties in particular the braggs party niger for raj is an incredibly good campaign and we don't know how much and you vote for the brics a party will eat into any of either of the established parties they could eat into the labor party's votes but also that targeting the conservative vote is the disenfranchised with bret's it and i just want to move more quickly than boris johnson's conservative party is offering also we've got the liberal democrats they are the odds remain party and they might also siphon up quite a lot of the remain vote which might not help the labor party so it's really very difficult at the moment to predict how this is going to end at the election in the middle of december beginning mohsin reporting on the start of the election campaign in the u.k. thank you very much for that update from london the floor of the bulletin board changed the course of history not just for jim leave and the international world

order but of course the most immediate impact was felt by the divided city of specially for us who was suddenly permitted to travel to the west football fans from the east came in their thousands to see the western berlin in action on november 11th 1909 it was the full history union in the rest of the city for decades. the 1st weekend after the fall of the berlin wall hundreds of thousands of people from east berlin streamed into the west many 2 olympic stadium fans using their newfound freedom to finally see. greece played for had to on that november 11th they faced a direct rival for promotion to the bun just league they remember the game well. to the stadium you could see something was happening was that back then we usually had a crowd of 5 or 10000 now all of

a sudden there were masses of people everywhere. since the masses of people from the suburbs in east berlin coming to the game and you could see cars literally the tracks. the fans from the east got in free they just had to show their id many were here for the 1st time others could hardly believe they were finally about to see a heretic game in person again. a dream. we've been waiting for this for 28 years. there were 45250000 spectators in the stadium once in a lifetime and. fans from the west and fans from the east were together again by their friendship had outlasted the was there players will remember this game forever. this was a very special day. and try to bring that positive energy out on the pitch.

time we mainly wanted to win the game. the fact that we appreciated the historic day we had experienced together. i'm this day was particularly special for 18 year old spent catch my who scored the goal that sealed the one all draw for hetta was. me about that goal as well as i work in the most difficult go it was an amazing experience he told us of. the 2 players are still involved in berlin football tayo greece works for one yawn and spend christmas for head to those teams are in the book just league it together for the 1st time ever 30 years after the fall of the wall. and all of this feat. special coverage and bullets on the events which led to the form of the 30 years ago including stories of what it meant for people who experienced it that the 2 footballers play

as we just saw. listen to other news and american diplomat gordon the sunland has reversed his testimony to the impeachment inquiry into president don trump he now says he didn't know the trunk administration which has military age to ukraine to push it's to investigate strom's democratic rival. republicans have suffered setbacks in state elections in virginia and kentucky democrats took control of both houses of virginia's legislature for the 1st time in more than 2 decades and in kentucky democratic candidate for governor is projected to defeat the republican incumbent by a slim margin. yemen's internationally recognized government has signed a power sharing deal with a southern separatist group the southern transitional council had been battling for control of the city of aden despite fighting within the government against the country's with you the deal aims to end months of infighting in the south.

turn away now from earth and looking out into the universe a year ago a the teen in charge of nasa is voyager missions and now the data indicated that voyager 2 had reached a milestone scientists have not confirmed that the proven has escaped the sun's influence entirely and entered into true interstellar space it follows its twin voyager want to become only the 2nd human made object to cross the boundary both probes were launched back in 1977. joining me now is dead it really is a science desk a welcome derek nonuse from the depths of space about the structure of a filesystem it sounds like of rocket science break it down for us and all of us as to what this means we brought in some visual aids to help i'm going to just lead you through this a little bit to understand really what the probes have discovered you have to

understand how you 1st decide what is interstellar space and what's the space that's inside the solar system how can you set up a border there where you can set up a border because the sun radiates in all directions creating a sphere that which is which is known as the heliosphere and now the heliosphere of course is our entire solar system is moving through our galaxy the milky way in one direction so spreading out behind this helio's you're in the middle like a wind sock you can see the rest of this entire area is known as the he was there but really what's interesting is the front leading edge of it the direction that our solar system is taking that's in a special most particularly what's known as the helio pause that's actually a very very very thin layer and it's the moment when the the effect that the solar radiation is having from our own sun runs into the effects of radiation coming from other stars as we move forward that's actually creating as we move

through the as we move through our galaxy it's creating a an effect similar to that of a snowmobile with pushing forward the this this radiation from other stars now both of the pros as you can see the voyager one and the voyager 2 have moved past this heliopause they've moved into an area of much denser colder radiation and that is the definition scientists have decided of interstellar space so we've moved beyond what's officially the solar system and into what we can call into. steller space so good this sounds like quite a milestone as we mentioned so what is next then for these voyager probes with the voyager probes or are packed with this kind of nuclear battery it's a radioactive battery that will continue to power them for the next 5 to 10 years or so and that's the projection it's actually really amazing that these probes have

lasted as long as they have they were launched as you said back in 1977 so they've been out there for 42 years already and a 50 year mission is almost unheard of after the batteries run down they will stop sending data back to earth and they'll just continue on their journey out into the vastness of the of the cosmos of of our galaxy the milky way and assuming that they don't hit anything else the chances of that happening are very very low because base is really really empty they're going to continue to do that for billions and billions of years derek williams from a science this thank you very much for that this is the news and these top stories chinese president xi jinping and french president in london mccraw have really info on that commitment to the fattest climate accord this statement in beijing can the day after the u.s. formally announced its rid george from the agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions. britain's parliament has been formally dissolved ahead of

a snap election on december the trial of british prime minister barak johnson is due to see the queen shortly to mark the official start of the election campaign. police and protesters have again clashed in the chilean capital santiago after president sebastian pinera ruled out stepping down mass demonstrations of economic inequality have rocked chile for more than 2 weeks. scientists have confirmed that the space probe voyager 2 has escaped the sounds influenced entirely and to crew interstellar space the probe is now almost 800000000000 kilometers from a sun and is still transmitting data this. you can always follow us on twitter that's a d.-w. news or you can visit our website that dot com. you're watching the w.'s
