this is news coming to you live from forging new alliances in the fight against climate change a day after the u.s. confirmed to explode out of the paris accords france and china saved a stand side by side presidents in monaco engines being real full of this support for the landmark 2015 deal calling it
2:01 pm
a reversible also coming up the british prime minister boris johnson officially kicks off the general election campaign after dissolving parliament we'll go live to london to size up the state of the race. and enough special coverage marking the 20th anniversary of the for the war which divided all aspects of life including sports today a look back at the historic football match off to the floor of the board when fans from the east of the city what is will to go to the west for the 1st time in decades. a pleasure to have any. chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart in london and the crawl have issued a joint statement reaffirming the strong support for the paris climate accord in beijing president said cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions
2:02 pm
would be decisive and it follows the trump administration's move to stop the former is a big drawing the u.s. from the 2015 accord. and the crow have said the accord is. matilda. 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 practice climate accord being irreversible what
2:03 pm
does this really need me explain a bit china is the largest emitter of c o 2 emissions a 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 then the commitments off industrial countries so this agreement this. this statement has 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 human regarding climate change in this context here so you is kind of trying to
2:04 pm
take the lead. in kind of policies so let's take a listen in to what the chinese president xi jinping had to say. by the review which is not been 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 ah ah. so we can. being a talking then when he's talking with china taking more responsibility but in actually but capita timbs china is not the biggest value to it is a strain and u.s. is one of the biggest believe 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
2:05 pm
united states out of states out of paris agreement is a basic 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 u.s. united states were also taken action so now there is definitely a loss gap story. 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 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 u.s. did so they will not close this financial gap for example no i did not that level
2:06 pm
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 going 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. 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
2:07 pm
we also have to be. clear about one thing this trip from across the meeting with with cheating paying. ok they had this disagreement making the players 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 regime had 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. i said mentioned 11000 scientists are calling for urgent action to deal with what they see as a global climate emergency this is the earth's population will experience until suffering unless action is taken wild wide already changing weather patterns of plum southern africa into a severe drought tens of millions of people are facing food shortages and wild animals and grave danger. a once meant just stick animal reduced
2:08 pm
to this. this and if it was trying to get to an area known as the man of pools of water the whole of the wildlife here in northern zimbabwe instead it got stuck in the drying munt and later died of exhaustion. severe drought has turned the clay soil into a death trap. park officer munir ad says he prays every morning for rain but it simply doesn't come the water levels more than most bands in this. community. so it's great to be always with that instilled too if you are to be received just as in the field of these most of the city. water sources are all but dried up here and animals can't find enough food either park authorities say they've been forced to abandon their usual policy of nonintervention. we come up
2:09 pm
with the food we started now we are similar to supplement their feeding off and was due to flood plain because if ord which used to be. because of rain in the city and wounded in this country so. we're seeing we're in to sort of maintain publishing says the plight of these animals is having a knock on effect on nearby villages earlier this year zimbabwe's government declared a national disaster after the drought damaged harvests now hungry wild animals have been attacking livestock and crops in areas where food was already in dangerously short supply officials here say climate change is hitting zimbabwe hard it's altered weather patterns right now there's little sign of rest by it.
2:10 pm
let's take a look at some other stories making news around the gunmen have attacked a security checkpoint in southern thailand killing at least 15 security volunteers police say they believe muslim separatists were responsible is the worst attack in the in the region which has been in the grip of an insurgency for a decade and a half thousands of people have lost their lives. the american diplomat gordon sunland has reversed his testimony to the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump he now says he did know that the trumpet ministration withheld military aid to ukraine to push it to investigate trump's democratic rival joe biden. republicans have suffered setbacks in the 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 the democratic candidate for governor is
2:11 pm
projected to defeats the republican incumbent by a slim margin. a campaign for the united kingdom's election next month is officially underway voters will elect a new parliament on december the 12th the outgoing parliament was formally dissolved early on the morning before prime minister bars johnson went to buckingham palace to notify queen elizabeth of the step labor leader jeremy corbyn has kicked off his body's campaign speeches in a series of constituencies very likely to lead to and dominate the election campaign with candidates who also focus on health care climate change and other issues. pots joins me now from london she's tracking that story welcome solid so what can we expect from boris johnson and the conservatives . well what's become very clear this morning is that it is going to be
2:12 pm
a very nasty campaign boris johnson the prime minister compare his opposition leader jeremy corbin with the dictator with the soviet dictator joseph stalin so this is the kind of language he will use in the upcoming campaign and he is also trying to paint a picture of this election as people versus parliament he said right now in his campaign launch speech that he that this parliament didn't get anything done on breck said that that needed to change and that only with him in power brakes it would get done and the united kingdom could move on from this breaks that saga so this is a clear strategy behind his election campaign vote for me and then we get that done and what about the opposition what are they going to be saying and doing to try and get votes in their favor. also they are
2:13 pm
painting a very nasty campaign at the moment jeremy corbyn i was at his campaign launch at the labor campaign launch last week and he is making this election about people versus the elite going against in his words dodgy landlords billionaires. tax evaders those kinds of people and he is trying to make this election about domestic issues about health care and housing because his message on bracks it is not very clear the labor message is not very clear they demand a 2nd referendum but jeremy corben won't say where he stands on the issue so it's much more complicated than on the conservative side and this is what could cost them some voters in the end and i know it's early days but given recent opinion polls is it possible to speculate on the outcome of the election. well at the moment when you look at the polls it looks very good for the
2:14 pm
conservatives that they would get a majority in parliament but of course the compay not the conservatives has has quite has had quite a shaky start for example with joseph stalin comparison that the prime minister drew this morning and 5 weeks until the election of course is a long time to go and what will be really interesting to see is how voters will react to the french politics for example the bricks of party who wants to get it done a.s.a.p. and the liberal democrats on the other side who want to forget about it altogether and stay in the european union so there we will keep a close eye on those parties of course but what is very clear is that this general election is all about bricks that 80 percent of voters say they will make up their mind in regards to the issues so we can expect another so-called well referendum on the issue of brecht's that in this general election. referendum to the ballot box
2:15 pm
shown that bought thank you very much for that update from london. in the forest of change things but especially the lives of us who was suddenly permitted to travel to the west football or france from the east came in their thousands to see the west in clubhead in action just days off the floor of the berlin wall november 989 it was the 1st reunion of the fans in west berlin and after decades of deep division. 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 play. catch my eye and teo greece played for head on that november 11th they faced a direct rival for promotion to the bundle they remember the game well. the way to the stadium you could see something was happening was that back then we usually
2:16 pm
had a crowd of 5 or 10000 now all of a sudden there were masses of people everywhere. we could sense the masses of people from the suburbs in east berlin coming to the game and you could smell their cars literally the tracks. the fans from the east got in free they just had to show their i.d. many were here for the 1st time others could hardly believe they were finally about to see a heretic game in person again. dream. things have turned. out we've been waiting for this for 28 years. there were 45 250000 spectators in the stadium a once in a lifetime atmosphere as here to fans from the west and fans from the east were together again their friendship had outlasted the wall. was there to players will remember this game forever. this was
2:17 pm
a very special day. and try to. bring that positive energy out on the pitch. time we mainly want to. off to the fact that we appreciated the historic day we had experienced together. this day was particularly special for 18 year old spend christmas scored the goal that sealed a one all draw for her tell. me about that goal the most difficult it was an amazing experience. 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 bundesliga together for the 1st time after 30 years after the fall of the wall . and all this week we had to bring you special coverage in reports of events which led to the fall of the. including stories about what it
2:18 pm
meant for the people who experienced it as we just saw with those 2 football. you watching the news coming up ahead a milestone in space exploration of just 4 decades since. voyager 2 probe becomes only the 2nd manmade object of. science correspondent great explainer. for can by new they get their act together champions league match against. to be their 1st. but 1st to chile with the number of people taking part in this in street protests is forming at least 18 people have died in townsend's have been injured since the protests began 2 reeks ago over an increase in public transport fast the mayor of santiago says by tuesday only a couple of 1000 people were demonstrating. but there is the end to the discontent
2:19 pm
reporter nicola phillis is in the chilean capital and she says people are 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 come and we were a bit pessimistic. but the turnout exceeded expectations 5. so we sat down to check analyze what had happened and what we hope the chile of the 21st century 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
2:20 pm
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 just think about ourselves we can't fall back into individual. we have to take care of each other this is bigger than ourselves can build those are emerging all across to you ladies days but is grassroots assemblies they all have a common weakness. the big problem with the country is that they generate hope and that they lead people to think 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
2:21 pm
own version of utopia broken up in small task forces they draft a rope 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. a year ago the team in charge of nasa voyager missions announced that d.j. indicated that voyager 2 had reached a milestone scientists have not confirmed that the probe has escaped the sun's influence entirely and through interstellar space it follows its twin voyager one 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 derrick nonuse from the depths of space about the structure of
2:22 pm
a filesystem it sounds like a 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 do 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 heliosphere but really what's interesting is the front leading edge of it the direction that our solar system is taking that's and especially 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
2:23 pm
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 it's pushing forward the this radiation from other stars now both of the probes 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 interstellar space so good this sounds like quite a mind still in as we mentioned so what is next then for these voyager probes where
2:24 pm
the voyager probes are 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 space is really really empty they're going to continue to do that for billions and billions of years dick williams from us science this thank you very much for that. dysport on tuesdays champagnes big action brucia don't want to do such a stunning 2nd half comeback to triumph over into milan the italian side were 2 nil
2:25 pm
up at half time times to go through a lot auto martin is an be seen no but in a stunning turnaround dortmund stormed back a defend you scored in the 51st minute then a shot by william brandt levelled the score before hakimi completed the comeback with a goal to make it 3 to dortmund are now 2nd in the group f group after barcelona. and in the champions league today by munich are hosting the greek side olympiacos vine won the reverse fixture would have otherwise struggled this season this would be their 1st match since the exit of coach nico called russian sunday following their 51 loss to frankfurt in the bundesliga now the players have to show that a change of their coach can still save their season. by hand need to leave the past behind this man is supposed to help them move on interim coach chancy flick is beyond short term solution and he wants the team to step up against greeks height
2:26 pm
olympiacos tones is on for what's important for us now is to look ahead to what happened we have to see to it that we start acting on the pitch and plots it's a point that's easier said than done but at least the coach and players are on the same page something has to give the 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 votes for throwing a phone vote on the good byes are never easy but by and have to get over the departure of their former coach immediately life after he starts today against olympiacos of the coach you're watching the news coming up next in the news. a what's up hacking scandal hits india and its victims want to know how it happened
