the world famous east side gallery where. hopes and dreams on the deadly side of the tainted. fire munich look to bounce back after difficult to break some the sakyapa head coach today's they'll play the greek side. in the champions league before facing their big blunders league arrivals at the weekend. i'm sure welcome to the program. chinese president xi jinping at his friendship counterpart emmanuel mccraw have issued a joint statement reaffirming their support for the paris climate accord speaking in beijing president macro said cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions would have been decisive this follows the trumpet ministration beginning before the process of withdrawing united states from the deal president xi and
4:02 pm
macron described the deal signed in 2015 as every verse of. the theological issues milk over the past 2 years in the fight against climate change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment. but 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. now the course of the world has scientists around the globe so whatever they've issued a joint call to action on climate change describing it as an emergency too many of us are living too well they say without taking note of what it's doing to the planet they warn that we risk untold suffering if things don't change. to mitigate an impending climate emergency say the $11000.00 scientists research in 6 areas
4:03 pm
this critical 1st and foremost how we get our energy they've recommended higher taxes for carbon emissions dramatically curtailing the use of fossil fuels and massively extending renewable energy sources. then there's the problem of short lived pollutants like sirte and hydrofluoric carbons reducing them could lower the short term warming trend by 50 percent they say. when it comes to nature they want to see forests reefs and grasslands restored as well as a halt to habitat and biodiversity loss. in our food supply animal products are a major problem not only do livestock contribute directly to emissions but growing food for them also takes valuable land they could be used for crops to feed the growing population. the scientists also take issue with economic growth the pursuit of affluence and wealth they say is a major factor driving climate change. finally they also bring up the controversial
4:04 pm
issue of human population growth which is currently exploding at a rate of $80000000.00 people a year the scientists say it needs to be stabilized if possible reduced those are the most urgent steps that need taking says the statement but far from the only ones. let's get more on this from climate policy research coral much of from the new client institute in cologne a welcome to the w. i'm looking for you to provide us with some hope in what looks like bleak times we just heard that a major driver of climate change is the pursuit of affluence and wealth which sounds like we're all doomed because what government is going to tell their people not to try to build better lives for themselves and their families. yes that's correct so when it comes to climate change and. global warming the c o 2 carbon dioxide emission is the largest. factor and this is covered that
4:05 pm
emissions strongly related to energy use that is against rather related to correlated to g.d.p. growth so. reversing that trend reducing the c o 2 emissions to net 0 in the 2nd half of the century as. laid out by the paris agreement is a extremely challenging task. is it not impossible. it is not impossible it is a very challenging task of course in the longer term you want to have a very different set of technologies which includes. cutting capture and storage combined with energy which basically removes. from air and started to stored underground so these technologies would come right in the longer term so it is not impossible but again it is challenging a little added lights in these dark times thank you for that we also heard from president macro that the decision of the united states the world's 2nd biggest
4:06 pm
polluter to withdraw from the parts agreement won't change the course of the world how can this be true surely u.s. withdrawal matters precisely because american inclusion would change things. yes he did say yes and no. president is right in a way that this withdrawal of the united states one cares agreement has been expected in. present time has been seeing this for the last few years so this is not a surprise and also when you look at. other countries how they reacted to the u.s. withdrawal there's no country that so far has followed the u.s. and they all see in within in the paris agreement so some of that sense. i suppose what i'm getting at is that it must change things it must change the way the world
4:07 pm
deals with the climate it must change the climate if the world's 2nd biggest polluter says we are not doing this then that changes things of course it doesn't change things a little bit of course that you will lose the global leadership and the u.s. is taken are scimitar so if that meter is not taking action of course doubt about the fact other countries and this in action as well but at the same time in the u.s. there are a lot of things happening at the state level and also cities level as well as the business level and when you actually aggregate those efforts you country can't get close to the emission levels. they committed as a country ok so the united states has walked away from the deal china the world's biggest polluter has signed up to the deal but its c o 2 emissions are expected to continue to increase until at least 2030 so if the world's 2 biggest polluters say they're going to pollute for the next
4:08 pm
foreseeable future what good is the powers climate agreement. so what what what's. with the paris agreement and it's that china is the us images of course it was the emission levels want to control. at the current levels of course the achievement of the terrorists agreements long term goal will become extremely difficult if not impossible for china that their current target for 2030 years to peak their us u. 2 missions is about before 2030 years but a lot of researchers claim that it is possible and it's likely that its emissions will peak. 520202025 or even before and a lot of countries and governments are expecting that china will increase its ambition under the paris agreements ok becoming a little glimmer of hope there. from that new climate institute thank you
4:09 pm
thank you. for trading weather patterns have already plugged south africa into severe drought times of millions of people are facing food shortages of wild animals are in grave danger. i once meant just stick animal reduced to this. this an offense was trying to get to an area known as the man at pools a water hole for wildlife here in northern zimbabwe instead it got stuck in the drying mount and later died of exhaustion. severe drought has turned to clay soil here into a death trap. park officer munir at zorro says he prays every morning for rain but it simply doesn't come since the water levels more than most bins and is. decreasing. so it where the viewer is with it is filled busy to if you will he

4:14 pm
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 kid builder today. or 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 individualists him. we have to take care of each other this is bigger than ourselves can build those are emerging all across these days but his grassroots assemblies they all have a common weakness in the big problem with the can build those is that they generate hope and lead people to think they are determining their own destiny really they're only providing a platform for desires that can be taken into account it can also be ignored and that's a problem. but at 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 drafter. roadmap for their future work in order to make any of this

league continues tonight with bond unique among the teams in action chris harrington from t w sport can talk assert welcome pres so a but i'm going to be playing the 1st game since the nico cove was sacked as coach how do you think that's going to affect them i think it's an opportunity for barack to hit the reset button because me. a loss a locker room weeks ago he made a mistake in criticizing thomas you know his last you know game in charge the captain manuel neuer criticized him you know directly it just basically suggested he had to go so he's out how does he flick the assistant you know when he joined he's a former buyer and player so he does understand me a sign me of the philosophy of buyer that's good he's getting his crack you know as the manager shards in munich you know but this opponent olympiakos barges walk all over them in the flick came out to say he doesn't want to give too much instruction
4:23 pm
he was the players to go out and show what they can do on the pitch we have a preview of the match let's take a look. diane need to leave the past behind this man is supposed to help them move on interim coach andy flake is fine and short term solution and he wants the team to step up against greek site at n.p.r. costs to ones 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 often plots its feet akiane 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 play is bad 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 bat the responsibility. from cuts for throwing the front row to good byes are never easy like by and have to get over the departure of their former coach immediately life
4:24 pm
after nico kovacs starts today against olympiakos. so chris huntington hunza flick not only has to face an n.p.r. host of the champions league tonight but also day classic and in the broadest league at the weekend against bruce you don't win so is he the right man to oversee this delicate match is he the right man no but he's the man right now philip don't have any other options really you know and it's all about momentum going into the day classic to face dortmund you know i think they'll have that momentum in defeating olympiacos tonight but dog is going to be a very tall order and they feel like they have an s on their chest right now because they overturned a very important fixture they've just won 3 on the bounce 3 in a row right now and pretty viable opponents defeated the german cup gave of the wolves of wolfsburg their 1st league defeat and then they lead in the standings by one point and this game is in munich buyers' already lost in munich you know but i
4:25 pm
do think byron have a crown to defend and you know i think the momentum will be enough to provide a real cracker you know of entertainment for all of the business to face and in the meantime of course buying on the lookout for a permanent replacement right how hard is that going to be mid-season it's bad timing i mean byron is you know a world renowned club you know very bad timing obviously you want to do this before the season or at the end of the season naturally you know 3 big names have already refused the job ralph iraq nic he's associated with are the leipsic he came out saying no thomas to kill a former dormant talks now he has he said no and the last one to say no. it was time to hog the hog coaches and i actually said no obviously contracts are an issue for coaches so what's left obviously coaches that are free on of are available right now austin vango the former arsenal coach has been linked he's up in age you know but buyers are looking for a short term fix to possibly side
4:26 pm
a long term solution at the end of the season hansei flick has a short lifeline i mean 3 weeks is what the buy a camp is communicated in terms of revisiting the coach situation but if ozzy flick does well in these next 2 fixtures that lie ahead of biron maybe gives himself a lifeline to the winter break but i like austin vango right now because biron i think of the in the long run at least into the into the season they're going to need a big name a lot of big names in the locker room it didn't work out with kobashi didn't respect him at all really and showed its ugly face you don't want to relive that situation so i'm sure the hunt is on and will get the news and will reported as we have received chris huntington did on his book thank you. and the city of the town gave him in morrison of the end of the rainy season but its annual. festival event gives the term plague a fire a whole new dimension i should have made a hot air balloons loaded with fireworks throw spock's into the crowd belong on
