embarrassment of the grand coalition ok today is not only fridays for future green friday it's also black friday shoppers across germany going to be packing the stores today your group has come out against black friday why we believe that instead of. going shopping today and spending a lot of money on a lot of goods you can actually join our protests and. have fun on the streets fighting for our future ok now in paris for texas are blocking access to the amazon warehouse today here in germany are we expecting anything like that we're expecting a really great strike especially really and a lot of people. showing solidarity on the streets with the youth ok now it's not only opposition to 2 shopping extravaganzas like black friday the fridays for future movements also come out against cheap air travel in cars or are you

concerned that you could face a popular backlash at some point. well our goal is to actually change policy is so we want we don't only want to make flying more expensive we want to cheapen train travels so actually we want to just. take. method that we have now and shifted something else that is maybe even more convenient for people and so we hope that people will support us and then travel with the train through incentives by the grand coalition let's say ok so to present some options that you think that people will will like and can so that they support for exactly if you believe that there are options there and we're not using them and politics is not supporting the usage of those alternative methods of transportation and we really have to change that the global climate conference starts in madrid next week ahead of that summit the un secretary general antonio terrace spoke to d.w. let's listen to listen to what he had to say. the preservation is unsustainable we

are losing the race. emissions are growing there are 2 reports that were recently published with the emissions not. being reduced we have the highest concentrations of c o 2 in the atmosphere only millions ago we had the same situation but at the time with the higher temperatures and the much higher level of the sea we have seen in the 2 days you mention get reports of your nap that's we are reask at serious risk to not to be able to meet the limits of $1.00 degrees at the end of the century and that would be catastrophic so it's time to understand that we need to be much more serious political will to be able to defeat climate change. there a better catastrophic rest do you think that the fridays for future movement has the momentum to address the problems that the terrorist is pointing to have. i

believe that if enough people actually will join us then yes i believe that we have to come together as a united stronger force to actually change policies to actually address politics and that's what we're doing today that's what we've been doing for the last year and the fight will continue ok have you noticed a broadening of your ability to connect with people compared to say the last time we talked was that a few months ago yes i believe the last time we talked that was before the law school global strike and that day. nearly 1500000 people turned out in germany to fight against the climate crisis to show the government that they were not ok with what was happening in this country and in this world and we just see that we're getting stronger we're getting more powerful that people continue to support us and that politics will have to listen at us to us at some point very clear in my view for us today thanks very much for coming in this way clark thank
