almost 200 countries have begun a 2 week climate summit amid a growing sense of crisis negotiators are tasked with finding out the rules for implementing the 2015 far as climate accord that's when countries agreed to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees celsius above pre-industrial temperatures but would it be another case of too little too late during his opening remarks u.n. secretary general antonio good tennis cordon delegates to take bold action as he outlines to a different visions for our future by the end of the coming decade we will be on one of 2 paths when is the path of 3rd round where we have 3 paul cook past the point of no return joe provides in the health and safety of everyone on this planet do we really want to be remembered as the generation that birdie carrying the sand

. while the planet burns the other option is the path of hope oppressive resolve of sustainable solutions a press where more fossil fuels remain where they should be in the ground and where we are on the way to carbon neutrality by 2050 and that was the un secretary general antonio good terrorist speaking at the opening of the climate conference now before we discuss what the summit can achieve let's take a look at the challenges facing delegates in madrid. 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 one files 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 am. 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. joining me now in the studio she's a reporter with science and environment welcome you is now under put indicated it's time for urgent action what can we expect from the summit which is just got underway in madrid well the motto this year is actually time for action but realistically they're not really ready yet they still have to finish the rulebook

which will govern how the past agreement will be implemented article 6 is going to be dealing with the carbon markets and that has been particularly contentious so it's not even clear that they will get through that by the end of this year but they also have to look at raising their ambition at the moment the countries of sept ledges that would not take us to a 2 degree rise in temperature but more like a 3 degrees rise in temperature which is just too high so still to be done and this often at these summits a blame game that emerges what do you see as the most critical challenges well the biggest challenge is political will i mean is there enough do they actually want to reduce carbon emissions enough so the island nations of issued a plea to developed industrialised countries to to ask them to do that i mean these countries are island nations are the lowest of metals and yet they're feeling the impacts of climate change most another issue like i said is the carbon markets so

that is particularly controversial environmentalist argue the carbon markets aren't going to help at all and that it takes away from the idea of the parts agreement to just reduce carbon dioxide emissions and there's this this argument that's going to take place negotiations and we'll see what comes out of non the united states has pulled out of the cold but china is still in and china is an absolute terms the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide emissions is it taking enough action do you think well china is one of the countries that is going to meet its target. possibly early so that is something that's obviously positive from them they're also the largest developer on renewable energy in the world so there's definitely something in their favor but the problem is that their targets are just too low and if they continue the way that they're going we're still going to see that global temperature rise they are also investing in coal plants in china but also outside of china so that's

also an issue and recent months we've seen these for ideas for future move and we've seen what. impact she seems to have galvanized the young people who are getting impatient with the lack of action on climate change how do you see this playing into this debate well governments a feeling the pressure they can now see that after millions of use and people from all over the world taking to the streets in september and then hundreds of thousands again on this friday just gone they can see that they're going to be held to account for for the emissions that they're they're still working on the. young people are also going to be growing up the next generation to be boasting so they really have to take action so that they will you know get further with the the young people coming through. is going to be there so she will also be talking i guess we can expect a speech that's placed similar to what she did in new york so that is going to put

pressure on governments as well. to be heading to the madrid summits look forward to hearing from you from the. one from the disc a pleasure to talk. let me now bring you some other stories making news around the almost $70000.00 people have fled their homes as the philippines braces for a powerful typhoon officials of image residents to evacuate gundry's goes to the areas. of the rwanda typhoon community could bring widespread damage flooding and landslides. intense clashes between syrian regime forces an armed groups have reportedly claimed or most 100 lives and both sides activists say fighting around the last opposition stronghold of it live is the most violent since a russian drew good cease fire went into effect in august. china has announced sanctions on american n.g.o.s and suspending visits to hong kong by u.s.

naval ships and units aircraft retaliatory measures come after the territories for democracy movement go to boost from human rights legislation signed by president trump last week. and she's described as one of the most influential women in the was activism blazed full female empowerment in saudi arabia yet jan has been languishing in prison for 2 years on unspecified charges she's not alone even as the women won basic freedoms to drive and to travel many of the female activists who championed the cause remain locked up without trial now has loose families hoping international pressure to her. joins me now and she's been following ca's story welcome i of what more can you tell us about jan and case well it's safe to say that jane is one of the most prominent women at the forefront of the sound of the rights for women whether it has been the

dismantling of the male guardianship system which has largely rendered saudi women a 2nd class citizens putting unbelievable restrictions on their lives and essentially leaving all major decisions in their lives to the men within their family sometimes even the son she's also been at the forefront of the campaign to allow saudi women to drive she rose to prominence in 203020145 posting videos of herself on social media where she is actually defying the ban on female driving as we're seeing right now this is video of her 2014 as she was crossing the border from from the united arab emirates into saudi arabia where she was arrested and put under arrest for about 73 days fast forward to 2017 by road decrease saudi arabia actually finally lifts. band with hopefully with it coming into effect in about a year later in june 28th however

a few weeks before she before she would have been able to see her dream become a reality she along with other prominent activists such as. were arrested and you know it's been almost 2 years like you said she's languishing in prison her family alleges that she was electrocuted water boarded and sexually harassed in detention so tell me more you to die a kind of a torture like symptoms that she's facing in prison what can you tell i want to ask family saying about the conditions interests and well her family has really been campaigning internationally for her release i recently had the chance to speak with her sister nina and have lived here in berlin and this is what she told me about the latest in her sister's case so the charges of. everything that she has done about her activism so. everything that she has done for her activism but. holding her i think you know it's very difficult to say but i

would say maybe they don't want anyone to to have an opinion and to speak their opinion they want everything to come. to the bottom of what condition she would you know. her trial started in march of this year but since 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 talked at the top 2 of my parents talked 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. but let's say terry confinement is torture i think so i don't think

it's a good situation. so obviously the concern is to told you the moment been sent by the conference has been kind of. the image of implementing some kind of reforms yet nothing has really changed for people like you show that's true i mean i think there are 2 things that one must separate here there are the reforms the state of reforms in saudi arabia and the state freedoms if we will if one can even separate them in terms of reforms that this is true the crown prince mohammed bin feldman who is the de facto leader of saudi arabia has been implementing a lot of social reforms the drive lifting the driving ban is one of them using the restrictions on the interactions of the sexes in public women's attire partial gradual dismantling of the male guardianship system such as women's ability to travel without the permission of the male guardian that's one thing on the other and these are all to compliment the economic vision a vision 2030 of saudi arabia bringing saudi arabia into the 21st century then there's the state of freedoms and there it's

a slightly different story and we've seen the you know the brutal murder of saudi journalist in the saudi embassy in istanbul and the example of the female saudi activists who are still in prison so it seems that while the you know the saudi government is ready to give reforms these are all top down reforms and perhaps there isn't the same openness for an open discussion about these reforms both she and jane were welcoming of these reforms but the but they were not given a chance to unfortunately critique them or lift them even or gif it back on them so i think these are 2 separate things that are going in saudi arabia reforms are one thing freedoms are another one is on one is on the go the other not so much and then thank you very much for sharing your insights on the story with us. rich has the highest rates of but in section in the european union as many as 4 in 5 babies are born by c.

section and some hospital critics say that's due to corruption in the health services doctors make more money for mrs aaron than for men that's. 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 but the doctor decided to take this action and i don't know what has happened but something room has happened because their respective week after. 4 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 says. well as dr 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 the entrance of the hospital 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 that knows me and. my medical file.

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 bird 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 but. little aryan doesn't know why his mother can never pick him up but man a well and is glad she can at least kiss him it means she survived. you're watching the news coming up ahead. conductor. who's died at 76. but 1st the future of german chancellor angela merkel's government is in doubt after

a coalition partner the social democrats elected 2 new leaders critical off the partnership now they have indicated they want to see major changes that dream since the prospect that the coalition may collapse and result either in an early election or a minority government. skins and norbert valter boreanaz will soon be leaving germany social democrats that in turn could spell the end for the grand coalition with the christian democrats and christian social union the results of the s.p.d. poll came as a surprise as did the clear margin of victory the new leaders to be want to chart a new course for the party and reopen negotiations with chancellor angela merkel on future government policies. it is the responsibility of the social democrats to make policies for the lower and medium earners over and over again we see clauses in our contract with the c.d.u.

that are not in their best interest and that has to change but the conservatives are likely to resist any major changes to government policy only 2 years before the next election c.d.u. leader on it could come common power made this clear. we're going to stand by just coalition on the basis of what we've already negotiated. and we want to get back down to work quickly. the opposition greens say berlin is headed towards a government crisis b s b d p s p d has to clear this up this week do they want to govern this country yes or no you can't govern if your answer is maybe. the s.p.d. has veered left what this means for german government should become clear over the coming days. the longer story i'm joined by detail these political correspondent kate brady at a parliamentary studio as well as can give how much of a crisis is this good these developments lead 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 a 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 assess the gather 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 city and a critic 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 strike and legacy drags 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 we've got brecht's 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 a 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 which would certainly be music to the ears of the french president michel kid pretty dubious political correspondent thank you very much. in other news anti-government protests have resumed in iraq a day after the resignation of finalists the update of the hardy demonstrators say the move doesn't look far enough they're demanding that political leaders stand trial for the violence that left more than $400.00 people dead during 2 months of protests. mexican officials say the death still to
