this is deja vu news live from berlin the world's climate is reaching a point of no return at the start of the climate summit in madrid the u.n. secretary general warns that it may be too late to stop the worst the facts of global warming we visit an island nation in the indian ocean striving to become a model for marine protection also coming up. germany's ban on the farm sales to saudi arabia is not as watertight as it seemed leaked documents reveal that a german builder of patrol boats is still actively working with the saudi armed

force. and the murder of an investigative journalist force's malta's prime minister to step down. was probing alleged links between top government officials and money launderers when she was killed. plus a germany's governing coalition partners on a collision course with social democrats elect new leaders who want to change their coalition deal with conservatives can hurt government survive. i'm dr thomas great to have you with us the head of the united nations has taken the world's major economies to task for failing to reduce carbon emissions warning that the point of no return is fast approaching. i'm telling you terrace says the

global push to stop climate change has been utterly adequate he was speaking as a 2 week international climate summit gets underway in the dread here's more of what he had to say we have not even the pull and the last few thinking soon it will be too deep to escape i welcome the voices of the young activists i've been meeting they understand that you have jumper guys in their future if you fly i will continue to push every day to keep climate at the top of the international agenda the u.n. secretary general and the terrorists there while many parts of the world are of course already feeling the effects of climate change the seychelles is an island chain for example the indian ocean which is threatened by rising sea levels and so the structure of local marine life but the low lying nation isn't acting policies that it hopes will serve as an example for others. over 300000

people a year head to the seychelles to enjoy a holiday in paradise and the vast array of coral sea fish and other marine life in 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 scientists have spoken. and politicians around the time. for us. i would 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 warmer seas 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 their jobs. at the least responsible for the problems of

climate 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 all dubber 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 in abundance of fish especially in protected areas like a 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 are nor that we have a problem what is needed is a responsible global action and there is no or there is no time for believe. the seychelles and its president are already seeing the effects of climate change they don't want discussion they want action now. well will they see it let's talk about that more now with did have you science and environment reporter louise osborne good morning luis. the u.n. secretary general there sign is issuing a dire warning 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 it 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 that they just were unable to agree on the last off school which is a 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 things around ok no point to china as being a major offender it's the biggest producer 27 percent of the world's carbon emissions it is it one of the countries that's that's not on target with the carbon markets you mentioned actually 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 i said are just too low so 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. commissions just not done in china itself so we're really going to see shows the taking of a role model position what is to be done quickly to hold global warming i mean what we're seeing every year in the forest fires in australia rising temperatures the 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 but they actually worry that the market the 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 trip tomorrow in portugal and then i guess she'll make her way very quickly to madrid she'll be talking again to leaders and i'm sure that we can expect a speech that will you know kind of much what she said in new york so that will be the. new cases he's very much a. focal point for public opinion right now ok lou thanks very much for coming in office. let's get you briefed down some of the other stories making the news at this hour the french military has repatriated the bodies of soldiers killed in a helicopter collision in mali 13 troops died in that crash during a counterterrorism operation against islamist militants it was the heaviest single loss for the french military in some 40 years. mexican

officials say the death toll from a battle between drug cartel members and the police has now risen to 20 gunmen staged the military style assault on a municipal building in vo when young near the texas border 14 attackers were killed during the shootout. the white house says u.s. president on trump will not take part in wednesday's public impeachment hearings but it's not ruled out participation in the future of presidents facing allegations that he illegally sought to help get help from ukraine to discredit democratic challenger joe biden for. at least 24 people were killed in northern tunisia when a boss plummeted from a cliff the vehicle veered off a winding road into a ravine after the driver failed to negotiate a sharp bend it's one of the country's worst road accidents ever.

well here in germany it seems that the government's ban on arm sales saudi arabia is not watertight investigation by public broadcaster. magazine has revealed that a german supplier of patrol boats is continuing to work with the saudi military. the murder of journalist she changed everything german chancellor angela merkel announced that no more german weapons would be delivered to saudi arabia. we can't allow weapons exports not under the current circumstances since saudi arabia's involvement in the in many war also contributed to the export ban being extended nevertheless german weapon manufacturers continue to do business with 3 that's according to documents from the german shipyard larsen which were leaked to german broadcaster d.d. and the magazine the saudis ordered $33.00 patrol boats from the beginning boatbuilders

a few years ago due to the export ban and only 15 of them could be delivered but even after the ban came into effect the company continued to carry out repairs on those boats already delivered for example this boat had run aground according to the documents provided an organized replacement propellers. also until recently the german company provided training for crews operating the ships in saudi arabia. linda blix from the 1000000000 human rights organization e.c.c. h r sees this as extremely concerning because saudi arabia has repeatedly blockaded key many seaports and a naval warfare consists out of a blockade. of the waters which prevents necessary goods from entering into the country and we see that ships have been diverted or delayed or sent back towards saudi waters for example so these patrol boats could be used in saudi waters to die for those ships. he doesn't didn't want to give us

a statement on this legally the company is not doing anything wrong that's because in contrast to many other countries the ban only applies to arms exports it doesn't restrict germans from carrying out training in saudi arabia. interesting only in most other allied countries such as the u.k. france but mostly in the usa rules are much more strict than when. it comes to the transfer of knowledge or transferring know how the u.s. can make any american citizen wherever they are in the world are liable to recourse or even in certain cases subject to prosecution. i cording to violate off the loophole in german law could easily be closed. in german government could amend the foreign trade regulations in particular paragraphs 49 and 51 it's those changes wouldn't even require

a vote in either parliament all the federal assembly with this. in parliament the left party and the greens are calling for the government to take action and. we have to close these loopholes stop training taking place this can't continue because we can't say we don't want to export weapons for military use and then support others in using them at the same time it's a massive contradiction and it's also not a humanitarian measure it's just about a few german companies trying to make money. but at the moment there is little chance of that happening the german government doesn't see any reason for changing its stance. or saudi arabia is not only under fire for using arms bought from western nations against civilians riyadh's human rights record is one of the worst global rankings one woman for example. was arrested and jailed simply because she campaigned for the right of women to drive. everyone has been

following that story for us joins us now here in the studio good morning to you and i see again can you tell us something about jane why she was arrested what she was doing in saudi arabia well the day it happened it is really one of the most prominent if not the most prominent face at the forefront of the women saudi arabia saudi arabian women's right to drive and also the dismantling of the male guardianship guardianship system in saudi arabia which has since the inception of the kingdom it's basically made women 2nd class citizens right can you can you tell us something about the male guardianship system what is that well until very recently the male guardianship system entailed that women could not travel outside of the country without the permission of their male garden guardian this would be the father the husband the uncle and sometimes even the son who was oftentimes younger than the woman herself and this was in place regardless of the woman's level of education social status etc so you can imagine how that could have been

very humiliating to women at times and this is why we have seen for example a surge in the number of women that have escaped saudi arabia in recent years some of them being extremely high profile cases that have caught the world's attention and jane was really at the forefront of the fight to do this she was very flamboyant she was very fearless about her campaign she would post videos of herself on social media defying the driving ban most famously in 2014 she filmed herself crossing the border with her car from the u.a.e. into saudi arabia i remember that video indeed and she was arrested for that she was held in detention for 73 days she's very critical of the saudi royal family and you know and in 201827000 saudi arabia announced that this driving ban would finally be lifted a lifelong dream of the other women activists one might say she's not the only one at the forefront and has it been lifted in effect are women now. dr in effect

indeed it has been it has been lifted this was in june of this year of 2520. pardon but unfortunately could not be free to to perhaps enjoy something that she has fought for for so long because just weeks before the driving ban was lifted in effect she along with other women rights activists one must say she is not the only one were taken by saudi authorities there have been reports that jane has been tortured in prison for the 1st 10 months of her detention she was not even really charged with the crimes who she was just sitting in limbo i've been in touch with her family recently in berlin got to speak with her sister this is what she had to say about the most recent updates in this case so the charges of. everything that. everything that she has done for her activism. holding her i think. it's very

difficult to say but i would say 20 anyone to have an opinion and to speak their opinion they want everything to come. to be bottom up what conditions would you. started in march of this year but since they stopped everything. what's going to happen since she's in solitary confinement other than this we have. we talk to have my parents talk to her but what's going to happen we have nothing at all and she doesn't know what's happening you know anything about her condition she being treated well is she being mistreated how is she doing. i think compared to the times where she was being tortured she is a bit. better but so is torture i think so i don't think

it's good. situation. jane is still in jail she's been tortured so clearly the situation despite his reforms in saudi arabia has not improved for campaigners indeed let's unpack this a little bit i mean these reforms saudi arabia has seen in the past years have really been radical but as new jane sister has said they've all been top down they're all coming by royal decree so we've seen a gradual dismantling of the male guardianship just this year saudi arabia announced that it will allow regulations that would let women travel without the permission of their maker guardian to exercise control over family matters etc which they previously could not do there there has also been the easing of restrictions within the public space so even basic things like playing music and restaurants or having you know the ban on cinemas being lifted or even the restrictions on the internet or mixing of sexes in public areas like restaurant in saudi arabia if you if you've ever been you know any restaurant you go in they'll be an area for families and women and an area for ferments all of these things have

been eased of course all of these reforms will not look very effective in the eyes of someone like lena who i spoke to who knows that her sister was water boarded and electrocuted in prison is specially that you know they never jane and others again she's not the only one you know they never got to perhaps enjoy the fruits of their fight or their demands for years and that really puts a huge question marks on these reforms why can't these women be out to enjoy the reforms they fought for ok but but the fruit of those their work is being enjoyed in general by people in saudi arabia right now as you mentioned the public indeed i mean the reforms have been met with with with favorable results but it's also hard to tell exactly how how this how how them being top down has been perceived because there aren't polls or any like anything like that in the kingdom that would show that asked for the women themselves they've been vilified in public media so we don't know what the public thinks of them really thanks very much for looking into

this one. it's to malta now where prime minister joseph must doubt says he will resign effective next month that after his labor party has chosen a new leader calls for him to step down have been growing a prominent businessman with alleged ties to government ministers has been charged over the murder of the investigative journalist daphne thought on a belief she was probing supposed government corruption when she was killed. 50000000 jason in the coming period we will initiate a process so that i country will have a new prime minister of state. responding to mass protests calling for his immediate resignation multis beleaguered prime minister joseph muscat said he intends to resign but not until the 12th of january. nearly $20000.00 people around a quarter of the country's entire population took to the streets on sunday demanding he step down immediately. many are outraged over his handling of the murder investigation of journalist definitely carol want to kill it the country has been

too caring for a sick nation to happen now. the fact that he's saying for it to happen 2020. i don't like the fact that he said going to be involved in the best occasion many people felt he has to resign now for it to be kier i don't like the fact that he saw this i now. want to kill it's his family have said that they will use the law to ensure muscat has no further involvement in the investigation quote other than as a possible suspect carol want to kill it it was killed by a car bomb 2 years ago she did ledged that 2 of muskets ministers were corrupt and that they were about to receive secret payments from multiple riches businessmen you have been fenech fenech has been charged in connection with carry want to kill it says murder a charge he denies. that now here in germany the future of chancellor all americans government is in doubt after her coalition partners the social democrats elected to

new leaders who are critical of the partnership now they've indicated they want to see major changes and that could raise the prospect of an early election in germany or a minority. the social democrats have cast doubt on the future of the grand 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. one thing is clear 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 baltimore yon's and saskia s k n 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 a person no change in the s.p.d. and it doesn't necessarily mean that the party is going to reefing his policies. the trade unions are urging the s.p.d. not to abandon the grand coalition is. 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.
