course the social democrats elect new leaders who want to change their coalition deal with the matters conservatives can hold government survive. class in sport gone back watch back to the top of the bundesliga the host beat freiburg 42 in another impressive display they are now serious contenders for the time on thought. pattern of a warm welcome to you i'm on that. we begin in madrid where delegates from almost 200 countries have begun a climate summit amid a growing sense of crisis let's take you live day over the next 2 weeks that goes here to us will be ironing out the rules for implementing the 2015 paris climate accord of that's. country that's what countries agreed to when limited to was

warming to less than 2 degrees celsius above pre-industrial temperatures but really be another case of too little too late ahead of the summit u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorist warned that the agreed to target for reducing carbon dioxide emissions are to low single rapidly approaching the point of no return take a listen we heart you know the pole and we are still digging soon it will be too deep to escape i welcome the voices of the young activists meeting they understand that we are just providers in their future if you fly i will continue to push every to keep climate at the top of the international agenda. that was until the terrorists and the madrid summit aims to put the finishing touches to the rules governing the 201-5000 cord that involves creating

a functioning emissions trading system and compensating poor countries for the losses they suffer from rising sea levels and other consequences of climate change didn't have these initial hotlips has the details. there is no sign of a slowdown in greenhouse gases concentrations in the atmosphere let alone a decline. that is according to a recent study by the united nations if this trend continues experts say the result will be disastrous future generations will be confronted with even higher temperatures droughts floods storms and wildfires will become more severe and more frequent. after a year of protests the pressure on governments is mounting scientists are also urging governments to act they say that countries should increase their carbon reduction ambitions in order to prevent an even more catastrophic outcome i was.

at the top of the climate conference agenda is a global emissions trading system it would allow countries that exceed their self set emissions reduction target to sell a right to emit some claim the system could create incentives to further reduce emissions. ok joining me now is a reporter with news environment desk welcome good to see you here now we saw in our report is an urgent need for action are we going to see action at this summit which is just got underway well the motto for the summit actually now is time for action but actually they're not ready for that yet as you've said before they need to finish the rule book fix of the rulebook deals with carbon markets and it's contentious issues that they've been arguing about something that they should have been able to deal with last year and was able to finish so there's a lot but there's also the issue that their ambitions of far too low countries have pledged to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions but the amount that they've

pledged so far will not take them in line with the parse agreement of below 2 degrees celsius. and so they have to start looking at that otherwise we're looking at a 3 degrees right so you saying that basically there's lots of unfinished business is often talk of the blame game what in your opinion of the key issues at this point well obviously the carbon markets is something that definitely has to be looked at they also have to look at the the developing countries the developed countries have to look at reducing their carbon emissions significantly but also putting together financing for the developing countries so providing financial mitigation and adaptation measures so that they can look at industrializing in a way that is sustainable and good for the environment and that's been of a divisive issue in summits the u.s. has pulled out of the 2015 climate accord but china is still in and china in

absolute terms is the biggest polluter in the world is it taking enough action on climate change do you think that's right china is the biggest emitter it takes it's about 25 percent of the emissions or more that it actually. makes you know and so. china needs to meet its targets which actually it's in line to do it will meet its targets before 2030 which was when it was supposed to meet them by but the problem is that the targets are just far too low i mean china is doing some good things as well as being the largest emitter it's always also sorry the largest developer of renewable energy but it just needs to make its targets. enough is the sense that i'm getting from you detect in a fridays for future movement has really got galvanized the young of the was. and

they're getting increasingly impatient about the lack of action on climate change how do you see that playing into this debate will governments are definitely under more pressure and in that way that they're going into these negotiations knowing that they have to move forward a lot quicker than than maybe they saw before. will be there this week so she's arriving on tuesday and will probably be there talking at some point this week we can expect a speech similar to what they had in new york and you know so the pressure will be there definitely right. thank you very much for your insights let me bring you up to date at some of the stories making news around the was more than 70000 people have fled their homes as the philippines braces for a powerful typhoon to make land for officials a residency evacuate vonderen coastal areas forecasters are warning that typhoon

a military style assault on a municipal building in union. forcing the attackers were killed during the hour long shootout. but she's been described as one of the most influential women in the activism blazed a trail for female empowerment in saudi arabia good. fool has been languishing in prison for 2 years on unspecified charges she's not alone even as some of the women won basic freedoms to drive and to travel and many of the female activists who championed the cause remain locked up without trial and now have families hoping international pressure to her release. for more on the story did. joins me she's been following her story welcome tell us more about june and what is the case against her she is indeed one of the most prominent if not the most

prominent a woman at the forefront of the struggle for saudi women's right generally rules into prominence in 20132014. our viewers might remember there was a famous video of her defying the driving ban the female driving ban in saudi arabia she took her car and. the charges of. everything that she has done about her activism so. indeed so you know we might remember this video as she you know. broke the back and went into into saudi saudi arabia she was arrested the time this was back in 2014 she was held for about 73 days and then released continued her fight and then in may of 20 mere weeks before this driving ban that she fought so hard against. lifted she along with other female rights activists in saudi arabia were were were taken. been her family says

water boarded electrocuted and tortured in prison for the 1st 10 months that she sat in prison she was not charged with anything i recently had the chance to speak with her sister here in berlin this is what she had to say about the latest on the joints case so the charges of. everything that she has done about her activism so. everything that she has done for her at that is of. holding her i think you know it's very difficult to say but i would say they don't want anyone to have an opinion and to speak their opinion they want everything to come. to the bottom of what conditions would you know. started in march of this year but since april they stopped everything.

and we don't know what's going to happen since april she's in solitary confinement other than this we have no news that we talk the talk to my parents. that's 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 let's say terri confinement is torture i think so i don't think it's a good situation. it's not of a good situation to telling you that the crown prince mom has been salon is trying to change the image of saudi arabia rebranding the country in introducing some kind of reforms that seems to have a nothing to people like you jane she's still in prison one must say i mean of course will not help the family of the one prisoner or even the other prisoners but these one must say these reforms have been sweeping and they have been quite

revolutionary and they include some minor things that we might take for granted like playing music in restaurants making sure that there are spaces where genders can interact in and public space the male guardianship guardianship system which had rendered you know the female population of saudi arabia 2nd class citizens there are steps being taken to dismantle this women will start having the freedom to travel freely which they didn't they didn't have before however as. i mentioned it to me these are all top down decisions that are all coming by royal decree so there isn't really an organic civil society that is involved in making these decisions and with these activists being in prison and other activists as well there isn't a civil society to critique them or or debate them in public so it seems that the saudi government is perhaps ready to give some reforms but not ready to necessarily have a dialogue with critics about these reforms and thank you very much for all that information and for the insights you've brought into the story.

which has the highest rates of birth spices in section in the european union as many as 4 in 5 babies are born by c. section in some hospital critics say that's due to corruption in the head doctors make more money from them from a match. when little aryan goes down the slide his father's always there to catch him at the bottom his mother manuel a can only watch because of the syrian section she had when she gave birth to him that nearly killed her the doctor decided to take this section and i don't know what has happened but something has happened because their respective week after the surgery ahead for surgeries ever since manuel as started talking to the press about her experience many women have contacted her to share their stories doctors

often insist on performing. well as doctor came into the clinic after hours apparently slightly drunk although the operation went badly he insisted she give him the traditional cash gift yes i think it's about the money when you go to hospital you need money from the nurses from the entrance of the hospital to can get into the hospital this is how we tease a natural birth costs 300 euros but for a syrian you have to slip the doctor up to 1000 euros. at the clinic no one wanted to be interviewed here like everywhere in romania the government has raised salaries for medical personnel over the last year but still 80 percent of births are ceasar ians. is a midwife she has to meet patients in a café if she wants to explain the advantages of natural birth she lost her job in a clinic after contradicting doctors who insisted on a c section i am sure that. it is because i want my

doctor knows me and. my medical. bribery is so common in romania's medical system that the government is clamping down and auditing facilities much more but even the health minister at mit's it's not enough. recently we had to close a birth station because of the risk of infection and. the employees were against it . it was right before christmas they had 60 syrians lined up and needed the money. little aryan doesn't know why his mother can never pick him up but mana well and is glad she can at least kiss him it means she survived. you're watching the news coming up ahead. we'll look

back at the korea for nonconductor young sons who has died at the age of 76. but 1st the future of german chancellor angela merkel's government isn't dot after a coalition fought not the social democrats elected to new leaders critical of the partnership they've indicated they want to see major changes and that raises the prospect the coalition may collapse and result either in an early election or in a minority government. 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 for on a great calm column by our it's business as usual. savior who is 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 votto boreanaz and saskia s. can are critical of the political partnership they have new demands on the minimum wage pensions and the climate that they want to be met. and thus. this is not possible if this is blocked then the party conference will have to think about how to overcome these differences for those policy is the most important thing 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 b.s.p. day and it doesn't necessarily mean that the party is going to rethink its policy is. exempt. the trade unions are urging the s.p.d. not to abandon the grand coalition. tree 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. next week the social democrats will decide which of their demands will be tied to the survival of the grand coalition. and for more on the story i'm joined by a deed of these political correspondent kate pretty it up on a mental studio's welcome kit how much of a crisis is this could these developments to the collapse of the german government . it certainly looks like the possibility of the social democrats withdrawing from the so-called grand coalition with anger of merkel's conservatives is looking more likely of course the many members of the social democrats weren't particularly keen on forming at another grand coalition with merkel's conservatives after the 2017 elections which has always meant that there hasn't really been this full sense of

a united sense behind the idea of continuing this this government that said now we'll have to look towards later this week when the social democrats are set together at their annual party conference and that might give us a more indication of what the new leadership now plans to do of course we've already heard that they want to renegotiate that coalition deal which is being blocked at completely by the cd you right now we just heard from the leader of the cd and click from current power she said that renegotiating that deal is completely off the cards so then that would be the question of whether or not the s.p.d. would be willing indeed to withdraw from this coalition deal which then could as as we heard leads to early elections of course the elections were planned for 2021 or could even see germany with a minority government for a short time period as well and get this uncertainty comes at the worst possible

time for the e.u. it's trying to negotiate bragg's it also for germany which prepares to take over the rotating presidency of the e.u. . exactly the last thing that the e.u. needs or wants right now is yet another political crisis and of course for a long time germany is being held up as quite a beacon of stability in the european union and of course as well it is your biggest economy so for a long time the e.u. has looked to germany 1st sense of stability in times of crisis of as you mentioned we've got the with the brics it coming up ois planned to come up at least by the end of january that said though there might well be some parts of the european union not least of all in neighboring friends where a shake up in german political might well be welcomed as of course the collapse of the government might bring in a new government which would in turn like push forward perhaps some better plans for climate protection and even better increased spending for the european union
