the surrounding ocean is breathtaking. but this entire ecosystem is under threat from climate change. the president of the seychelles calls for urgent action when he took in the ocean floor earlier this year in a submersible vehicle. the scientists have spoken. and politicians around the time. for us to act. will be a strong ambassador and a strong advocate for marine protection. around the world. the most alarming problem for the seychelles waters is rising temperatures warm a series have bleached many of the coral reefs damaging areas of natural beauty for a country that relies on its fishing and tourism industries the impending disaster could cost many people 10 jobs. at least responsible for the problems of climate
7:04 am
change yet we are vulnerable. in fact if we were different. the fight would have been different the seychelles is working on a solution a government led initiative is turning one 3rd of the country's territorial waters an area the size of germany into protected zones the zones stretching out from the countries in iraq looms and aldabra group islands aim to limit human activity and thus make marine life more resilient. marine scientists from the university of oxford and the nekton institute have been examining the seychelles waters as there was a incredible diversity an abundance of fish especially in protected areas like aldabra which was a marine protected areas do work when they are put in place. the seychelles is aiming to become a model for marine protection around the world in an effort to slow the effects of climate change its president is hoping other countries will take notice we all know
7:05 am
that we have a problem what is needed is a responsible global action and there is no there is no time for blame game. the seychelles on its president are already seeing the effects of climate change they don't want discussion they want action now. but will they see it let's talk about that more now with did have you science and environment reporter louise osborne good morning louise. the u.n. secretary general there science is issuing a dire warning of the planet approaching the point of no return is there an expectation that this conference can can turn things around well it's difficult to say whether it will turn around completely the motto for the conference this year is time for action but really they're not quite ready for that yet still trying to finish the rulebook which is something they should have completed last year. but
7:06 am
that they just were unable to agree on the last off school which is a school fix and deals with carbon markets so that's what they're going to be concentrating on this year another thing that they have to worry about is their ambitions so the national targets that each country has made to reduce carbon emissions. if they keep going along that road and follow those targets they won't be able to keep the temperature below 2 degrees celsius which is what the past agreement calls for it will be at least 3 degrees celsius so that's something else that they have to talk about too to try to tom things around ok no pointed to china as being a major offender it's the biggest producer 27 percent of the world's carbon emissions is it one of the countries that's that's not on target with the carbon markets that you mentioned earlier that's not the case that is on target it's one of the only countries in the you know one of the higher missing countries that's on target to reach its goals the problem is that the goals like this that are just too low so
7:07 am
even if china does get there it's not going to make enough of a difference for temperatures to to remain low and. also the issue all for you know emissions that are being made. elsewhere by chinese companies so for example in africa where they're building power plants and things like that and that is another contribution of china to global carbon emissions just not done then in china itself so we're really going to say shows they're taking a role model position what is to be done quickly to halt global warming i mean we've seen every year in the forest fires in australia rising temperatures you levels can be done to to halt quickly well what we really would need to be done before a country is to simply cut carbon emissions. obviously that's not something that they're going to do straight away phase out of coal needs to be done very quickly environmentalists have been calling that they actually worry that the market the
7:08 am
market issue that's going to be discussed this year will actually detract from just taking direct action and phasing out coal and cutting carbon emissions through transport these kinds of things governments are still working out a way to to do this but they obviously need to do it more quickly. kind of protests have been intensified over the past year been reporting extensively on that the fight is for a future movement for example what effects are these protests having on policymakers meeting in madrid well i think governments are starting to feel the strain of having so many protests taking place i mean in september millions of people took to the streets for the global climate strike on friday it was hundreds of thousands of people so governments are starting to feel the pressure of that like i said before they really need to work on their ambitions and that is what protesters are calling for. will be there this week she is expected to arrive from her atlantic

7:13 am
coalition but their partners in that coalition the christian democrats are attempting to shrug off any such suggestion on a great calm. it's business as usual. for the c.d.u. . we're going to stand by this coalition on the basis of what we've already negotiated. and we want to get back down to work quickly. but the new s.p.d. leaders norbit. are critical of the political partnership they have new demands on the minimum wage pensions and the climate that they want to be met. in the us. this is not possible if this is blocked then the party conference will have to think about how to overcome these differences for policy is the most important thing and that is what will decide whether this coalition has a future there is in the s.p.d. want to prevent that party debate from happening. this was all about
7:14 am
a person no change in the s.p.d. and it doesn't necessarily mean that the party is going to rethink its policies. the trade unions are urging the s.p.d. not to abandon the grand coalition. this country is in great need of modernization and. we need an ambitious program of investment that is something this government must tackle in the 2nd half of its tenure. next week the social democrats will decide which of their demands will be tied to the survival of the grand coalition. let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady for more on this good morning to you kate is the survival of the grand coalition now at stake is it that serious. well this is certainly a serious threat to the future of our so-called grand coalition which for a long time now has been anything but grand of course you have to remember that
7:15 am
this coalition between the social democrats and the conservatives here in germany was never strong to begin with and both sides went into this coalition dragging their feet after the 2017 elections but of course now that we have seen this relative shift to the left at least at the leadership level in the social democrats this could pose a risk to the future of that coalition as we had then the report the 2 new candidate those 2 new leaders sorry of the s.p.d. they'll be confirmed as the new leaders later this week at the s.p.d. party conference but they have already said that they want to see the coalition deal renegotiated which is something that the conservatives right now have said is completely off the cards so that then begs the question how much longer would the social democrats be willing to stay in this so-called grand coalition of course if they pulled out of this coalition early we could indeed see a short period in germany with
7:16 am
a minority government and then even early elections that currently do to take place in 2020 but this decision at least to move the social democrats more to the left and away from the political center of this political spectrum could certainly bring an early end to this grand coalition ok kate all this uncertainty here in germany comes at the very worst time for europe as this confronts brax it among other issues including the future of nato what does this potential turmoil what effect is it going to have on europe. well as you say the last thing the european union needs right now is to get another political crisis going on and it's bought them for a long time the e.u. has looked to germany as a symbol of stability in the european union given as well that it is the european union's strongest economy that said this change possible change even in the
7:17 am
german government were the government to collapse in the cover coming months could it will indeed be music to some people is in the european european union not least of all for french president manuel mccaughan who has been demanding some more responsibility more action from germany for months now of course they want to see germany taking more of a leadership role particularly when it comes to spending and there has certainly been a lot of frustration growing within the european union towards germany and its session really with a balanced budget despite the country having a huge surplus and the european union would really like to see germany taking a bigger role now in a more clear stance in terms of its leadership so this could indeed be the refreshing break that by the germany and the european union needs ok well it's certainly not very refreshing for the social democrats themselves traditionally
7:18 am
they were the 2nd most powerful party in germany the pulling out work team present this is a raising of the political middle do you see that comes to new in for the social democrats. well it really depends on how the social democrats decide to proceed now of course we'll have more of an idea about that come the party conference this week and exactly whether or not the social democrats decide indeed to pull out of this this grand coalition earlier than planned but the social democrats could indeed take this wind of change now as a chance to continue redefining themselves for a long time we keep pairing these demands in germany not only among the ranks of the social democrats but also among other policies as well for a change in the put in the political spectrum and among political parties and what they stand for but whether the media will really embrace that we'll just have to
7:19 am
see in the coming weeks exactly how they plan to implement that as part of their role as well in the grand coalition government thanks very much for those insights this morning. which has the highest rate of bird spies a syrian section in the entire european union as many as 4 in 5 babies are born by c. section and some hospitals critics say that's due to corruption in the health services doctors make more money from a certain section than from a natural birth. when a little aryan goes down the slide his father's always there to catch him at the bottom his mother mana well it can only watch because of the syrian section she had when she gave birth to him that nearly killed her but the doctor decided to this section and i don't know what has happened but something wrong has happened because their respective we have to decide to riyadh for surgeries ever since manuel as
