oh. this is good news coming to you live from berlin forging new alliances in the fight against climate change a day out the u.s. can fund to split up from the paris climate accord france and china sea to stand side by side president to monitor mcroy bring to a fund their support for the landmark 2015 dini calling it end of both the but also coming up a good night for us democrats the body pulls off a couple of big win this in-state contests ahead of next year's presidential

election we'll look at whether president trump and the republicans should be barred . and asked smaller crowds to announce a mass demonstrations in chile people look at other ways to protest against the government and its economic policies. and in a special coverage marking the candidate anniversary of the fall of the bone and with which devoted all aspects of life including sport to david look back at a historic football match off of the floor of the wall when fans from the east of the city able to go to the west for the 1st time in decades. how to welcome i'm a good to have their company. chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart iranian the cruel have issued a joint statement reaffirming the strong support for the baddest climate accord in

beijing president cross said cooperation between europe and china under do you think emissions would be decisive it follows the trump administration's move to stop the formal process of print join the us from the $215.00 accord. and look you'll have said the accord is it give us about. mathilda equal delicious smoke over the past 2 years in the fight against climate change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment to 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 the isolated choice made by one or another country won't change the course of the world. and for more with me i have in the studio tim a schonberg he's from the environment desk. and we heard both the presidents from

france and china talk about the brightest climate accord being irreversible what does this really mean mix plane of china is the largest emitter of c o 2. emissions worldwide 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 would too. 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 of industrial countries so this agreement this. the stay. it meant to be put in a context of the e.u. trying to bind china more into the paris agreement for speeding up their targets

so among them across is on a you mention regarding climate change in this context here so you is kind of trying to take the lead. in climate policies so let's take a listen to what the chinese president xi jinping had to say. but i mean really which it bobby and 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 as usual being a talking then when he's talking with china taking more responsibility but in actually public capita timbs china is not the biggest but you to it is australia and us is one of the biggest but the it is given that how much of a gap will the u.s.

is pulling out of the climate accord have well definitely the withdrawal of the united states out of states out of paris 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 there's 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 well this is a an agreement on the paper so far there were no match measurements follow so far and also china as with a status as a developing country within the paris 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 i don't know that level you have some $11000.00 scientists coming up with proposals and talking about the urgency off taking action to the disaster this seems to be a broader momentum growing in society. on dealing with this issue well definitely we have seen protests last years last months freida future. and many civil society groups the green parties are strong in the polls at least and in europe so also the commission commissions president 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 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 the meeting with with cheating ping oh ok they had this disagreement making the paris agreement it reversible calling versa but at the same time they also contracted trade deals about for about $15000000000.00 so it was also about that vision to be have to keep it in perspective as you said to shine that is in london desk thank you very much for that thank you. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world and schools are reopened in the indian capital delhi after being closed for 2 days due to the air pollution crisis air quality has improved slightly since the weekend the grim aims at severely unhealthy levels emergency triggered protests of the government's failure to take adequate action.

government have attacked a security checkpoint in southern thailand killing at least 15 and local security volunteers police say they believe a muslim separatists were responsible is the last attack in the region for years which has been gripped by an insurgency for a decade and a half thousands of lives have been lost in the past. american diplomat gordon sunland has reversed his testimony to the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump he now says he did know that the trump administration withheld military aid to ukraine to push it to investigate trump's democratic rival joe biden. in a sting in the us elections in 4 u.s. states have given democrats reason to be optimistic going into next year's national poll in virginia democrats took a full control of the state legislature for the 1st time in a generation in deeply divided and deeply conservative kentucky the democratic

candidate for governor and bashir appears to have edged the republican incumbent match bevan by lists and hof a percentage point bevan has not conceded the race he tied his campaign tightly to president daughter trump who came to kentucky for a campaign event on monday. at bush's election headquarters the democrat tried to play down boxes and differences tonight voters in kentucky senator search loud and clear for everyone to hear. it's a massive. it says our elections don't have to be about right vs left they are still about right versus wrong. and to find out more about what does results mean i'm joined by ricci she's a political analyst and a fellow a bush fellow in berlin welcome ration how is this how significant are these

democratic election gains in the year just the away from the presidential election these games are pretty significant especially in virginia and virginia has been an interesting state right you know back in 2004 voted for bush republican 2009 a republican governor but it voted for obama twice and hillary clinton in 2016 however like you said this is the 1st time in 26 years that democrats have held the trifecta the gov the governorship house and senate what this means is that it really gives virginia democrats a chance to push through legislation perhaps that is not as popular with republicans that includes climate issues women's rights and most importantly in virginia especially after may's mass shooting gun control and what about kentucky if the result is confirmed in favor of the democrats how much of a setback is this going to be for president trying given that he's also under growing pressure over the impeachment inquiry i think we have to wait and see how

much of a setback these are for the president but what i will say is that trump outwardly associated with himself with the governor race in kentucky he talked to the people of kentucky and said what happens in this race reflects on me if. matt bevin says that when that kind of speaks to my my ability to govern right so he associated himself with that race how this translates more broadly throughout the united states will have to see in the coming months no surprises in the other 2 states that you mentioned mississippi and new jersey but what is the results to us about how do republicans feed on a trump. i think republicans he's very popular still among among republicans people like him big big republicans like mitch mcconnell lindsey graham are firmly in the trump camp you have some outsiders like mitt romney who have pushed back against the trump agenda but i think what we can see now with the republican party in this

day and age is it's still the party of donald trump we'll see what happens in the coming years but as of right now it's trump's party. political analyst and a. thank you very much for your insight thank you you're watching news coming up ahead we look back at the historic football match off the floor of the bulletin board and found some. able to go to the west for the 1st time in decades. to be retired you see the number of people taking part in the street protests is falling at least 18 people died and thousands were injured since the protests began to reach to go over an increase in the price of public transport fares. by tuesday only a couple of 1000 people were demonstrating but there is no end to the discontent our reporter nicole shrewish in the chilean capital sist be flying using other ways

to show their anger. it's another day of protests in santiago but any ball isn't going he lives only a stone's throw away from plus 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. we were a bit pessimistic. but the turnout exceeded expectations. so we sat down analyze what had happened and what we hope that you live the 21st century would look like. 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 are today. if we want a better future as much of a cliche as that might be we can't just think about ourselves we can't fall back into individual. we have to take care of each other this is bigger than ourselves. builders are emerging all across these days but is 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 if they are determining their own destiny. but really their only providing a platform for desires that can be taken into account but might as well not be and that's a problem. in santiago nobody wants to believe that they're just dreaming up their own version of utopia broken up in small task forces they draft

a road map for their future work in order to make any of this happen the neighbors will have to get the government to listen how they'll go about that will certainly be worth a discussion during the next. and discontent another south american country. where hyper inflation is crippling the economy the government has not increased the minimum wage for the 6th time in a year but the increase is still only equivalent to just a few euro's. correspondent went shopping to see what venezuelans can buy with the new 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 fluid stamps each month sounds like a lot to me but what can you actually buy with it i gave viz 3 bottles of water and

2 bread rolls cost more than a quarter of the monthly wage of 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. i thought i could ask. and that's about a. good look at that 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. when i'm going to have on top of them how. 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. some through russia. and cheese. i bought 18 eggs

440000 believe it and there was just enough left to buy a drink. if i'm frugal 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. the fall of the berlin wall changed things around the world but especially the lives of east button as who were suddenly the midget's of travel to the west football fans from the east came in their thousands to see the western. in action on november 11th 1809 it was the 1st reunion of the friends in the west. 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 to olympic stadium fans using their newfound freedom to finally see play. until greece played on that november 11th they faced a direct rival for promotion to the bundle they remember the game well. to the stadium you could see something was happening back then we usually had a crowd of 5 or 10000 now all of a sudden there were masses of people everywhere. the masses of people from the suburbs in east berlin coming to the game and you could see cars literally the track. 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 atmosphere as 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. a time we maybe 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. ways off me about that goal as well as i work in the most difficult it was an

amazing experience. the 2 players are still involved in berlin football tayo greece works from me on and spend precious my forehead to those teams are in the bundesliga together for the 1st time ever 30 years after the fall of the wall. and all of this. special coverage and reports on the events which led to the fall of the bloated will to go including stories about what it meant for the people who experienced it that we just saw those 2 footballers play as. it's turning out of the u.k. where british prime minister barak's johnson is due to see queen elizabeth shortly to mark the official start of the nation's election campaign bonum it was formally closed in the early hours of wednesday morning ahead of the ballots to be has on december the 12th the election has been called because british politicians often on the able to agree on a way forward in the u.k. his departure from the european union. joining me now from london is our

correspondent big high bigot on the official election campaign starts today what can we expect from boris johnson and his conservatives. well rita we are already seeing the 1st signs that this might be a very bloody campaign already some past attacks when boris johnson has compassion compadre jeremy coburn his main opponent from the labor party to use of stalin and his tactics we've also seen a case on accusations of fake news where the conservative party has edited an interview that labor's breck's it spokesman kissed alma has given on television and they edited in such a way that made to. look 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 at a room in the country is already really polarized and we're seeing that the campaign is going to be quite passed and possibly quite nasty actually. and what

the opposition then begin to focus me. 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 a few 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 begin to know it's early days but given recent opinion polls 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 it party nigel for raj is an incredibly good campaign and we don't know how much and you vote for the bracks 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 voters there are

disenfranchised with bracks 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 arch remain party and they might also siphon up quite a lot of the remains 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 bigot mohsin reporting on the start of the election campaign in the u.k. thank you very much for that update from london. and this fall in the champions league today by and munich are hosting the greek side olympiacos by n one the reverse fiction fixture but have otherwise struggled this season this will be their 1st match since the exit of coach nico cool watch on sunday following their 51 loss to frankfurt in the bundesliga now the players have to show that they can get back to their winning ways. by an need to leave the past behind this man is

supposed to help them move on interim coach dungy flick is beyond short term solution and he wants the team to step up against greek side olympiacos tones on for what's important for us now is to look ahead what happened we have to see to it that we start acting on the pitch. that's easier said than done but at least the coach and players are on the same page something has to give you hope we players bear the main responsibility now and we have to get our act together. no one has any excuses anymore a coach is an excuse no longer exists it's us on the pitch and we bear the responsibility to get some. good byes are never easy but by and have to get over the departure of their former coach immediately life after nico kovacs starts today against olympiacos. and great useful woman football player
