could be the end of communism. like my sis. lives. december 23rd w. this is the. epidemic of another case outrages the nation this time the 27 year old veterinarian. and then why don't no way home. ever. not release more greenhouse gases. and most of them. deliberately.
2:31 pm
welcome. it's good to have you with us that he got in india after the 27 year old veterinarian was allegedly gang raped and murdered by 4 men over the weekend this crowd gathered outside the police station where the accused men were being held and demanded police hand them over to face justice the 4 men allegedly by body and dumped it beneath a fly over in hyderabad city in south india police say the man who helped the doctor there. and then gang raped by dragging her to a secluded place outrage over the brutal rape and murder spilling onto social media with calls for justice even vigilante justice the hash tag hanged rapists was trending on twitter over the weekend. now here's a user from hyderabad who said we build the tallest statues claim to have the world's largest democracy to unfortunate that we failed to make our country safe
2:32 pm
for women and girls and then this from a fan account of bollywood star the shop attorney who says there's no better way to depict women in india and this. and the democrats want to name a shot jess well joins me now from a deli with more let me show this piece seems to have hit a note of across the country why's that. well british one of the reasons could be that the gruesome and shocking details that are emerging about this case are sparking this outrage and protests have broken out across the country just the pre-planned nature of this assault these men who gang raped the veterinarian had actually seen oz before the assault and had planned out how to assault talk how to decide they had even damaged could so that they could take advantage of her isolation and just the details that have him was the fact
2:33 pm
that she was that she was raped and then she was suffocated and killed and then burnt under the bridge it's just been completely morbid and shocking and the more details that have the most the more disturbed people have been and the fact that law enforcement has also been slack has also caused more outrage people of being for blood people are calling for these people to be not only hung and some even calling for them to be lynched in the fact by the people themselves what are the next steps of this law enforcement authorities saying. that british knowledge that the case has captured national attention there is a lot of response coming from authorities both when it comes to enforcement authorities as well as politicians the chief minister of the state where this assault happened has called for a fast track court which basically means that these people would be brought to justice so we're not according to the leader and also the police have reports
2:34 pm
fairly quickly all the men who have been accused have been picked up already but there is also criticism tree police officers was suspended because they were seen as slacking off and the family 1st went to file the report and because of this further action could be taken against them as well so there is also outrage directed at politicians needless surrounding the families of which the victim belongs have actually pushed out not only the media but also politicians because they say they don't want sympathy they want answers. india wants to enter into trouble for the brutal gang very. moving bus in delhi those were changed by these were made hard sure presidency really changed since them. but the painter north about the gangs you speak off 7 years ago is that it did spark a national conversation about assault against women about violence against women
2:35 pm
and more and more women have spoken out about the violence they have faced as well as the quantity and how this month they have faced in this country the need to movement for example also the dutch to know in india and because of this the conversation i don't grieve as well as the laws have become stronger have become more prevalent however there's also a lot of incidences that continue to happen even just over the last few days they have been deported from the region from 6 years old to 55 years old so perhaps it's not just about laws and enforcement as the sighted behavior the change that is needed that needs to be talked about and implemented across the country. thank you so much for the. now this is forest. a lot of this happens in. the files covering more than 4000 kilometers but they did something
2:36 pm
else as well they really used much more carbon dioxide and the fire was in the amazon around the same time emissions equal to roughly the missions of canada roughly 709000000 tons was released as compared to the 579000000 tons. i'll be speaking to a climate scientist from the agency that made this estimation but 1st here's more on the fires that blotted out the sunlight in some areas of indonesia. the native landscapes are disappearing with. every year. of rain forest mainly to make way for palm all plantations. also burning peat lands a type of wetland that still has huge amounts of natural cotton when it releases carbon dioxide and toxic smoke that's more dangerous from
2:37 pm
a forest is. treated with oxygen because the 1st barratry problems when you came back after 2 weeks we observed that his condition had become much less. alongside the great health. had a devastating impact on our climate. scientists found that peat fires in indonesia pumped hundreds of millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere this year. peat fires are also notoriously difficult to put out because they continue to small the underground. we cannot extinguish the fires completely especially in the dry season we can only stop them from spreading . the good as one with.
2:38 pm
the majority of peat fires are thought to be deliberately lit. other result of bad farming. in addition to slash and burn practices farmers are also draining peat land to grow palm all trees rendering the soil dry and flammable. for years palm oil cultivation has been the go to means to make a living for farmers and some outre but some are starting to make the switch. this 58 year old farmer got rid of his palm oil trees to grow chile a crop which doesn't degrade the land. or. it is very very fast in the soil because it's mainly organic matter. has some supports the switch to alternative crops but says farm is cannot rescue people and alone. $9911.00 you're going to use that peter lance have to be versatile it said i don't
2:39 pm
burn so easily it's completely wasteful to fan down. in 2016 indonesia's government established an agency to restore some 2000000 hectares of pete land by 2020. but critics say much more what is needed to put an end to the fires that are destroying the country's precious ecosystems and our planet's. beddington is a senior scientist of the competitors must feel monitoring service that's part of the european union's atmosphere observation program joins me now on the program welcome what is the environmental impact of this amount of carbon dioxide big released into the atmosphere. i think. in indonesia particularly. there is
2:40 pm
a lot of cotton it's being emitted it sounds fair well the overall impacts will be for the environment in terms of climate is difficult to estimate at this stage. data that we provide is really related to so the direct emissions out at the moment to really understand how much of that stays in the atmosphere of would require like quite a detail mostly of the cotton cycle and that's not something that can be done in near real time it will be something that will be estimated to the 5 c. said enough to the whole you know after the vegetation response to the fires has been taken into account as well so just in layman's terms more than 700 megatons of calderon has been released into the bottom and should we be what it about this will not. it's difficult to say how much of that will stay in the in the environment some of it will be able to take and again by growing vegetation during the wet
2:41 pm
season during the growing season and so it's really difficult to estimate how much of that then stays in the atmosphere. using c o 2 as any mission from fires is quite convenient way of trying to get across the level of the activity and the intensity. and it's also worth remembering that there's a lot of other things that are made to dispose calvin gasses so particular lot. of pollutants which affect local air quality and so that kind of 2 things going on is the climate impact but then also the direct technology impacts that direct it's quite can be quite a house just to health of the people that live in those in the places where there's a lot of fires taking place mark is there a specific reason why the indonesian follows a richard more. difficult to compare directly between the amazon and what happens in indonesia and this is because there's different types of fuel different types of vegetation that spending
2:42 pm
one of the critical issues for indonesia is that it's. become dried out at reading and they've been in a very different way to education so small that at low temperatures releases a lot of different types of gases and it can burn for a long period of time so it could also put it on the ground for example and then resurface when then the compositions change. thank you very much. you know what about started up a dot com for a slash to the show online and saw the stories from the region that's our show for today make sure to check us out in facebook and twitter as. with images of the forest fires from indonesia over the. next time.
2:43 pm

2:44 pm
we move. book travel now amazing type. of thing. china says it's serious about fighting fighting climate change. so why is the world's top emissions producer building coal power plants as fast as it can take a look. also on the show american businesses expect to invest less in germany in the coming years we'll look at the reasons they give. and we'll go to hong kong where business is now dipping its toe into the ongoing protests. this is your new business report i'm stephen bears in berlin thanks for joining us united nations begins its 2 week climate summit cop 25 in madrid today world leaders there face
2:45 pm
pressure to prove the political will is still there to infer climate catastrophe an inevitable focus will be china where concern is growing that a slowing economy is leading to a resurgence in coal production. china is coal country it burns around half of all coal used globally every year that's part of the reason why it accounts for around 30 percent of global carbon emissions. but it's also the world's leading market for solar panels wind turbines and electric vehicles a paradox made possible by the monumental scale of china's energy demands. amid rapid economic growth over the last 2 decades chinese green.
