9:30 pm
let me be clear with you i have to act in ways that i feel necessary and people have to simply understand that. the owners of america to the ends justify the means. to terms with mrs scott's december 13th on t.w. . this weekend is when capitalism goes into overdrive billions of euros and sales on black friday and cyber monday have become business as usual but this year climate activists are turning black friday green from sydney to san francisco there were again demanding meaningful action to fight climate change and they're saying they won't participate in fire sales when the world is literally burning tonight the students urging us to act and the politicians dragging their feet on cost number lin and this is the day.
9:31 pm
now is the time to take action now is the time to show our bosses and to show our politicians that you have the power to shut down this and we can't just keep waiting to get to act like really quickly because bangkok is going to be joining by plane if he ever gets off you do that deal and they say that it's obvious that that is the difference between the top 3 that it was called upon to fight the world out there like. all things here i. wouldn't like you to their children really to be this is what they need to feel like if you don't. think mine is keen to take down. also coming up on the day the investigation into a murder journalist and multo looks set to bring down the country's prime minister but will it lead to justice the police recessed
9:32 pm
a 3 ball feasible one sentence we have. found no evidence and released him and they won't us to believe that. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with a day of climate action and in action around the world 1st the action young climb. activists around the world took to the streets in the forth global fridays for future strike they're demanding the government step up their efforts to cut carbon emissions and they're sending a message to the u.n. climate change conference which begins in madrid next week now the inaction a new report released this week details just how far the world has fallen behind on its pledges to produce greenhouse gas emissions scientists say that procrastination means the world is in danger of missing its chance to limit the effects of global warming and that makes the students message even more urgent. in berlin it might
9:33 pm
have been the consumer frenzy of black friday for some but on the streets here and around the world people were on strike for fridays for a future a party atmosphere pervaded alongside the placards some took a dip in the city's river spray to draw attention to rising sea levels others simply felt compelled to demonstrate that it was and why are we here well there is a massive climate crisis a known as doing anything it's crazy kind of to us the small 1st look in the u.s. washington to have the younger generation on the streets although perhaps not in such numbers. but the message was the same. we're asking leaders to take action on the climate crisis specifically today we're holding a future up to i'm demonstrate to the public and to a leaders everything that we're going to lose in a climate crisis and everything that we've already lost. on the other side of the world in australia the call to arms of our house is on fire led to protests
9:34 pm
a metaphor for some but for others here in sydney it's a painful reality. i . think. i think. i think. really. residents here are living on the front line of this crisis and the effects apparent if you saw the. shape it was so hard for some people to come out because of this. long. and i think it's really really telling that people can come out actually. i mean it's so bad in india the roots of this movement were clearly evident in the turnout with an impassioned call to galvanize the you. youth into something of
9:35 pm
a revolution. if you feel it is really really important but you're getting caught in the movement not just right now because it's all about the system change and it's about finally getting your wife is right about to moving this next you know into i mean really making good on the ball but to nobody's remake of. south africa 2 had demonstrations with some laying that bodies on the ground to make a statement about the impact that black friday's rampant consumerism is having on the global ecosystem. but the world is further off course than ever before when it comes to meeting the goals of the paris climate agreement scientists are warning that the world needs to take drastic action soon in order to get us back on track and avoid the worst effects of climate change that's the focus of a new and dire report released by the united nations this week the emissions gap report lays it all out saying that the gap in our efforts to tackle global warming
9:36 pm
emissions is big and it is getting bigger by the day 1st here is the trajectory that we are on right now if we stay on this course under our current policies the world is on track for more then 3 degrees celsius rise this century that's predicted to lead to catastrophic environmental effects now here is where we need to be in order to keep the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees celsius that's the most optimistic goal agreed to in paris to get there and it looks steep emissions need to be slashed by 55 percent overall in the next decade in other words it cut more than 7 percent per year the problem is we're not anywhere near that goal in fact last year global carbon dioxide emissions rose by nearly 2 percent and the longer we wait the deeper and faster those emissions cuts will need to be and joining me is the lead off of there of that gap reports. john
9:37 pm
christiansen he is speaking to us from copenhagen tonight now 1st of all thank you for taking the time to speak with us this is in fact the 10th year in a row that the u.n. has released an emissions gap report just walk us through one of the key takeaways this year is there anything new in that report. thank you for that in addition to come on. i mean if you compare last year you could say we're talking about his loyalists i think the main reason for issuing it every year is that it really is a wake up call before the. digital auction this year is really crucial because next year is the year were purchased with this 2nd the paris they're all supposed to salute plastics and what we're doing is that not only the plants that were. pairs but also that much faster than what they promised us earlier we saw in those images of students on strike across the globe some students of the try striking
9:38 pm
every friday for months now the younger generation they seem to get it i mean what about the adults though you mentioned this conference coming up in madrid hard politicians dragging their feet why are they doing that why are they taking action . young person can be waiting for the young ones also to wake up because the future we are talking about looks bleak with climate outlooks i mean i think it's because politicians generally deal with the short term the deal well for that year with broad so i think that in 4 years the really long term big is this little problems are really difficult to sell but i think the right is the future as a really imperative in the beginning especially in europe but i think a spirit of conscience we saw the european parliament election electing the most. dangerous and that this government here and the whole parliament now justice in the process of getting a new climate over 7 to 1230 they don't have all the tools ready to get there but that will be the mission of the parliament and it of course that pressure coming
9:39 pm
from the young generation is. let's talk about the biggest culprits when it comes to c o 2 emissions we're talking about developed countries and specific g. 20 nations what are nations like the us like china and germany what are they doing or not doing to tackle their c o 2 emissions. one minute i think they are doing something and it is not that this doesn't happen again you see chinese building ruble our really really big scale but at the same time they're having quite high growth rates so they're going to keep relying mediocre at the same time so it's just a it's not a black and white picked at that so there's a lot of british it's between i think what has happened in the last just 5 years or so is that wind and solar has really moved up and become fluid competitive in almost all countries and i think that will in itself true market forces also drive things faster but it needs to be with us it makes that process and i think
9:40 pm
a lot of countries haven't realized that they need to put in place that sort of conducive political environment so they then transition and we are talking about a real transitional especially in energy insurance for we need to move towards the televising power completely swim to 50 and really bring it down very quickly and i think in the same time transport absolutely it's a bit of extra fire so that is a challenge for the city but that's where the really big things are the nation's forest agriculture is also a big part of those really up in the 6 and then some you talk about trying to i mean consumerism and efficient uses those also. you mentioned i mean this report was purposefully bill east before cop 25 that's happening madrid next week this is the 25th un climate change conference is this the most important one in your pain. i mean that's the difficulty is that the most of the bargain we had was the build
9:41 pm
up to this the president remembered is a unique piece of leaves and this will agreement that we haven't seen before this year is kind of a mystery point out and then new facilities big one will be the one next year because that's where we are looking to get a new national plans and see if there are 10 biggest political lives the ambition so this is kind of and it turns from and i think the universe moves from cheated suspended still choose cherry here and they're going to be the 1st country coming up with that time a lot of the focus will be on a mission the house races and convince each other this is the way to go so it's very important but in terms of decision making they see is it's the big one right now an important one now and actually also the 1st big climate summit since the u.s. announced that they were formally or they started the process of formally withdrawing from the paris kleiman agreement how much pressure do you think there will be on the united states and president trump to stay in a paris climate green yeah i'm sure there is another question and i'm not sure if
9:42 pm
it's having much effect but i mean what we see at the same time this is was last part of the your society a lot of the. progressive states a lot of the biggest cities of the big companies are moving in here with its intent they're not impacted by the stuff in washington so a lot of things are happening in the u.s. in spite of what some central government policy is this in reality a lot of it in the u.s. is done by seconds it's a lot on the agenda as those leaders coming together in madrid next week john christianson the lead author of the un emissions gap report thank you so much for joining us. thank you. thank you. media sources are reporting that prime minister joseph scott is expected to resign his government has become increasingly embroiled in the political and legal crisis sparked by the murder of journalist daphne. she was investigating government
9:43 pm
corruption when she was killed in a car bomb attack 2 years ago. at 3 in the morning prime minister joseph gave a press conference he was upset by the investigation into death. murder and the alleged involvement of his close colleagues for us this was not just a murder this was a major case that shook our democracy many people greatly doubt that actually did everything possible to solve the murder of journalist. she was killed by a car bomb on october 16th 2017 last week the investigation into who contracted the murder led to the maltese energy entrepreneur york and finish allegedly he had transferred money via dubai to companies in panama these companies apparently belong to most cuts tourism minister conrad miti and his chief of staff keith. both
9:44 pm
resigned earlier this week. carr want to go ahead researched suspected corruption at the highest government level this week many demanded most cuts resignation they say he has blood on his hands because he trying to protect officials say through it all feasible one sentence we investigate. found no evidence and released him and they want us to believe that according to maltese media most cut intends to announce his resignation soon. we'll get more now on that story we go to malta and correspondent barbara bays or standing by for us barbara there have been more protests there tonight i mean what have been what have people been telling you. of the people here are really palpably angry and this anger has been growing over the last week because 1st the investigations into the murder off duff nicholas's seem to be breaking open they seem to be an idea that now one was getting closer to the
9:45 pm
truce and then all these things we just saw happen that he's just scam bre the cabinet chief sort of was released without charge just by the police that he is now sort of gone under that he has disappeared from the scene nobody knows where he is people fear he might flee that the island he might never be brought to justice so there is a lot of anger and people want more there one more even than a resignation from joseph muskets the prime minister we've been talking to them before the demonstration it's listen to what they had to say but there's a core of rotten. of rotten people. in politics and in business and they're in bed together and that is what is rotten underneath to be cleaned out not the old politicians the new blood needs to come up and needs to clean out the house they have to pay for that drives they can't just walk away free
9:46 pm
there is corruption there's much does everything not tony. not telling it that me they've also bet there's also been made as for people who spoke up you know the man of his in prison who they are there. because he is just as guilty i feel you. know these companies are thieves by hiding covering up. and the latest voice the last voice we heard there was the one of the mother. ronna. so we really hear that people want change they want a fundamental change on the silent yeah absolutely i mean here and people are saying even the cold war is rotten then of course you know if the prime minister does step down that is the the political side of this but what would that mean for the investigation into the murder of daphne carr want to leave the. i mean in the
9:47 pm
end it seems that this is going to be blown wide open we saw your going fenech the main suspect of do have ordered the hit on definitely say walk out of the courthouse today astonishingly he walked out free i mean he was in shock up there was just a policeman company and him and he said to reporters the truth will come to light and he feared for his life but he will tell all so he will point to his finger at the people in government who are sort of implicated in instead of being really behind this murder and so this seems to be the point in time where people in government and this this businessman here they are sort of trying to tear each other and pull each other down to say there's no it was them but no it was the other one and so it seems that in the end yes it will come out because people did
9:48 pm
the criminals involved in this and the people who have been connected to have ordered the hit they have started talking and then in the end they will really try to sort of really get all the details we have to sort of you know that for instance you are going to the senate that businessman he was wiretapped for over a year by. the prime minister and he listened into those tapes so he's known all along what was going on there is so many details that show the deep implication of the government into this murder that in the end it really will have to be blown blown open i mean if and when those details come out is that going to so to speak drain the swamp in malta and barbara i mean how deep does that swamp go we're hearing so many people in the government allegedly tied up in this. that would just be in mere beginning i mean of course people here want justice that's what they always screaming at those demonstrations now justice justice they want people to go
9:49 pm
to jail for the murder bought everybody here knows that. the disease kills so much deeper there is this mafia like concrete action of people being sort of doing business together and doing favors for each other and doing criminal favors for each other and covering up money laundering is rampant on the island there is a whole cozy no economy that has developed that is so laundering illegal money from russia from the near is from from everywhere really and is streaming through the island passports are being sold to russians to chinese to all the guards from wherever who wanted european passports for a big sums that there are no controls in place this goes on and on and the whole economy and the political elites here are sort of totally in connected and there is this network really that is just an crusted in society and all this will really
9:50 pm
have to be torn and people the normal citizens here in malta really want that and they say we have lost our dignity we need to regain it and we want to be a democracy i mean barbara what you're describing there is basically a complete breakdown of the bull wall in malta is of course a member of the european union do we know how will these accusations play out in the e.u. institutions i mean for one thing it's not a great look to have members of governments participating in upcoming e.u. summit i mean what's the e.u. fallout here. i mean next monday there is going to be enough that you delegation arriving on the island and to sort of really reinforce the message that things must be done that this cannot go on there is in fact like you say a complete breakdown of the rule of law and that is systematic on malta because the prime minister is the one who can appoint to the head of police the head of the security services the head of the judiciary it's all in one hand now there is no
9:51 pm
separation of powers that is absolutely undemocratic and this will have to be changed and will have to be changed quickly so it really goes to the very core here at the e.u. now is adamant that these changes need to be made and that if they are not made in infringement procedure because of breaking off the rule of law is imminent they will certainly do something now because they've watched it for 2 years and they are losing patience with small to. correspondent barbara faisal in malta force tonight thank you very much. hiv is a global issue africa has been hit hardest of all 2 thirds of the 40000000 people living with the virus are africans and all the modern treatments mean the diagnosis is no longer a death sentence prevention is still the most effective weapon against the disease meet one man now who has made it his mission to make his country kenya h.i.v.
