d.w. news line from that day after the united states confirms its withdrawal from the power supply much of course france and china say they stand shoulder to shoulder on the clock which emergency presidents are. paying support from and not deal describing it as irreversible. the program the special coverage of the 30th anniversary of the fall of the wall will take you to the world famous east side gallery. hopes and dreams all over the hated symbol of division when it came to.

munich look to bounce back after some difficult. to head coach today they play the greek side of the cross in the champions league before facing back. at the weekend . i'm phil gayle welcome to the program. chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart emmanuel macro have issued a joint statement reaffirming their support for the paris climate accord speaking in beijing president macross that cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions would be decisive this follows the trumpet ministration to getting the full process to withdraw the united states from the deal presents g mccrone described the paris accord signed in 2015 as reversible.

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 worried that they issued a joint call to action on climate change describing it as an emergency to many of us they say are living too well without taking note of what it's doing to the planets they warn that we risk untold suffering if things don't change to mitigate an impending climate emergency sadia 11000 scientists research in 6 areas is 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

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 outside emissions strongly related to energy use that is against run of the related to

correlated to g.d.p. growth so. reversing that trend reducing the c o 2 emissions to net 0 and the 2nd half and 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 will have a very different set of technologies which includes. capture and storage the combined with bio energy which basically removes the outside from air and started to stored underground so these technologies will come right in the longer term so it is not impossible but again it is challenging little that little by little 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 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 i did say yes and no. the president is right in a way that this withdrawal of the united states from the cares agreement has been expected. president trump has been saying 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 not going to. follow the u.s. and they stay in within in the pair's agreements so you get a sense. i suppose what i'm getting at is that it must change things it must change the way the world deals with a client must change the climate if the world's 2nd biggest polluter says we are

not doing this then that changes things of course it does change things a little bit of course that you will lose the global leadership of the u.s. is taken are scimitar so if that emitter is not taking action of course down to 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 know country can 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 for

seeable future what good is the powers climate agreement. so what what what's if those with a parasitic mint and it's that china's the us images of course it won't be the emission levels to control. at the current level of course the achievement of the terrorists agreements long ago will become extremely difficult if not impossible for china. their current target for 20 years to peak there are 2 missions 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 you know becoming a little glimmer of hope there. from that new climate institute thank you let's

turn to weather patterns of already plum southern africa into syria droughts tens of millions of people are facing food shortages and wild animals are in grave danger. a once majestic animal reduced to this. this an offender was trying to get to an area known as the man of pools of water all of the wildlife here in northern zimbabwe instead it got stuck in the drying mount and later died of exhaustion. severe drought has turned the clay soil here into a death trap park officer munir at sees already says he prays every morning for rain but it simply doesn't. know what to live was more almost in this. story where the doors with it is filled if you were to leave it was either due to the look of this 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 with the food was totally know we are similar to supplement their feeding off and was ready to flood plain because their food which used to be. you could not make it through because of rain in the city and wounded in this country so losing for animals who are saying we need to sort of meant in population sees 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. will take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world leader kerry alarm has condemned the knife attack on a probe raising make of the left him. for competition juniors home had been has been the target of anti-government demonstrations over his alleged support for violence against protesters. an attacker has stabbed 8 people at a popular tourist destination in jordan attack happened jerusha an archaeological site near the capital amman jordanian media say the wounded including 4 for tourists and 2 will guide. republicans have suffered setbacks in u.s. state elections in virginia and kentucky democrats took control of both houses of virginia's legislature for the 1st time in more than 20 years and in kentucky the

democratic candidate for governor is projected to defeat the republican incumbent by a slim margin. now the german capital is marking 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall on the night of november the knife 1989 east germany's communist regime reopened the border the announcement allowed its citizens to safely cross the west for the 1st time for 30 years it turned the hated and deadly border into just a war this week as well as remembering the people who died trying to cross the city is also some writing the freedoms that follow. d.w. reporter david leavitt's is that out and about amongst the festivities welcome david where are you. i feel well i'm at a kind of an outdoor picture show as you can see this is part of the week leading up to the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall part of this week of

commemorations here in the german capital and now this is not just your normal projection screen this is actually a piece of the berlin wall one of the very few pieces that is still standing and actually this is the largest piece still standing now 30 years ago where i'm standing now was not a place of art and culture it is what was known as the death strip i could have been shot to death 30 years ago just for being here by east german border guards either ones in the towers that were part of this wall complex or on patrol boats on the river splayed behind me and if you can see these blue lit up holes these posts in the river behind me they mark where the actual border was now just in this area alone 10 people died trying to cross from communist east berlin on this side of the river to west berlin on the other side of the river to what was

considered the free berlin in total more than 100 people died trying to cross the border here in berlin alone and if you extend that to the people that tried to escape communist east germany in total that figure goes up well above a 1000 most of them young men between the ages of $18.25 and that explains of course why in 1989 when the border opens up most people just wanted this wall to disappear they came out with hammers and picks and started tearing it down and the reason that this stretch of the wall is still here today 30 years later comes down to a group of artists. on the east time connery was started in february 19th 19. artists were invited to paint an original portion of the berlin wall back then the initiative was designed to help east german artists who had suddenly been left

without an income but in those exciting days of the former communist state opening up artists came from all over the world. when berlin was divided it was common for people on the western side to draw graffiti on the wall but on the eastern side people approached at their peril the wall became more and more fortified with heavily armed guards tripwires searchlights and lookout towers border guards were ordered to shoot to kill anyone who tried to escape and more than 100 people were killed trying to cross the border in berlin alone just a few months after those instruments of oppression were dismantled the east side gallery turned the symbol of terror into a canvas for free expression some of the artworks have become famous around the world because the gallery is exposed to the weather the images have had to be restored or even repainted several times today the east side gallery is a popular tourist destination. back to david

leavitt's who is indeed there david what's going on that today. well this is i'm going to tell you a little bit more about this projection behind me it's on a loop and it's just starting back up again and this projection starts with images of the place where i am now the death strip no man's land as it was 30 years ago a place that no one could enter if they wanted to try to cross into west berlin that was here to keep people from escaping and this this film really evolves through the decades you see the fights to get rid of the wall and then you see berlin as it is today a cosmopolitan place where artists and young people from around the world come to be free. and it's quite the different a different place to what it was 30 years ago when this was in some ways the center of the cold war and this film is just getting started up and we expect

a lot of people to turn out to see it and david leavitt's and the former east berlin thank you. and the only bring you special coverage reports on the events that led up to the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago we'll also have live coverage of saturday's examinees and commemorations. templating in the u.k. general election next month has officially begun voters will elect a new parliament on the 12th of december the outgoing was formally dissolved in the morning before prime minister barak's johnson headed to buckingham palace to notify the queen opposition leader jeremy kohl bit of the labor party began his campaign with speeches in a number of constituencies britain's withdrawal from the european union is likely to dominate. the debate correspondent sean to poets in london says the tone of the campaign has already been set. day one of the campaign and it has already gotten

nasty with name calling and accusations from all sides for the british though this election is all about bricks it according to latest opinion polls 80 percent of voters say that this issue will make them decide how to vote and they have a clear choice johnson's conservatives want to get breaks a done with the breaks a deal that he negotiated in brussels the labor party demands a 2nd referendum but won't say whether they leave all remain one party to watch out for other liberal democrats they are the only party that have clearly stated that with them the united kingdom would stay in the european union the conservatives at the moment are ahead in the polls but with 5 weeks to go a lot can change till that election day it's already looking like a divisive campaign as british people gear up to once more have their say on bricks it at the ballot box.

still to come. together that champions league match against us today will. take a coach and safely. in chile i say the number of people taking part in street protests is falling after 2 weeks of huge demonstrations at least 18 people have died and thousands have been injured since the protests began increased public transport for the matter of santiago claimed by choose day only a couple of 1000 protesters was to a willing to turn out according to reports in the chilean people are using other words to express. 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 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. so we sat down to check analyze what had happened and what we hope the chile of the 21st century who would look like. but. 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 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 to pass a future as much of

a cliche as that might be we can just think about how sounds we can fall back into individual ism. 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 but 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. that it's. good at this can build you know 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. one to football in the champions

munich are among the teams in action tonight chris huntington from d.w. sports is here to talk us through to our welcome thank you so by and playing the 1st game since coach nico kovacs was sacked what do you think of that chances i think they're good you know it's an opportunity for byron to hit the reset button that's exactly what they need to do because their former coach nico boche lost the locker room weeks ago criticized a living legend by a music in thomas the captain manuel neuer the goalkeeper criticized. after the last defeat to frankfurt so hard he flicked the caretaker's getting his opportunity to make since he's a mere me a former player. if he came out to say he doesn't want to talk to players he wants him to go out and show their qualities show how good they are olympiakos should be a cake walk we have a preview for that important him is the match fit let's take a look. dyan need to leave the past behind this man is supposed to help them move

on interim coach hanzi flake is fine and short term solution and he wants to team to step up against greeks hype and in p.r. cost to one's 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 point out something 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 play is by 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. for their newfound. goodbyes are never easy but by and have to get over the departure of their former coach immediately i might have to make a call that starts today against olympiacos. so the challenge for

us to fix here is quite a big one day you know only facing us in the champions league tonight a cakewalk according to you but also dec last in the bundesliga at the weekend against dortmund so is he the right man for this he's not mr right but he's mr right now because buyers don't really have any options and it's not good timing to face do it because dortmund are a team on fire they just confirmed that in front of a home crowd by turning over a 2 goal deficit against and to be locked in the champions league the can take a look at their action there the italian side got a head 1st with 2 goals from lauri's martinez it but he has been c b c no but then dortmund after the break this went on the attack us rafael kimi the rockets and say should open the scoring then yulian brought level to score then the hero of the match kimi came back for another to secure score his 4th goal in the competition and obviously delight the crowd it's a knowledgeable park giving them that advantage the 32. final score you know so they move up in this camp as a group that's their 3rd win in

a row byron new coach issues turmoil in all of these things i don't know if the munich crowd will be enough to motivate you know in that fixture but i guess it'll be a cracker of the darbies in the us they haven't really impressed me much lately you know the 2 that have taken place i'm expecting big fireworks in this i well we know you're a hard man to a to impress so. how does he flick presumably he's not going to get the job permanently so who is likely going to be the actual permanent coach well the timing is horrible to really get you know a big name in there 3 coaches have said no already they're all under contract how do you flick has an opportunity at least to basically give himself you know more life like hitting that extra credit button or an extra life but on a video game or something because with every win i think he gives himself another opportunity you know they talking about 3 weeks is without the revisit the coaching issue but if ozzie flick continues to win why change things until the end of the

season that might be an option as well all right chris. thank you. the city of town give me a base in the end of the rainy season with its annual bloom festival events gives the playing with fire a whole new guy mention a huge homemade hot air balloons loaded with fireworks throw sparks into the crowd below judges right the balloons according to their decorations and light shows that your ration of flights a well made public can step for at least 40 minutes. this is day w. news coming up next in news asia hey what's up. india i think switzer's want to know how it happened. when in japan a 2nd time to subway grow for us we find out how they are fighting back. the
