to the freedom of russia to the. band featuring a lead role like you've never seen before and going to let me be clear with you i have to act in ways that i feel necessary to the people who simply understand that . would include me or for that a marriage to the ends justify the means. to terms with mrs starts december 13th on t.w. . the goal of the paris climate accord is to save the planet from global warming the plan a carbon neutral world 0 c o 2 emissions how many countries are putting paris into practice try to 0 a report released today at the un climate conference names and shames everyone and as for those c o 2 emissions they're still going up i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day.

that the reason i'm here in madrid is very simple i'm here because president trump is not politicians are cold about this scientists have been talking about bloody about this trying to pick every day in overwhelmingly shows that we are not on the right path today mainstream media the science is not being represented their weight needs to be these kids shouldn't have to be the ones to tell us to get the job they are we are going in the wrong direction. also coming up it's 2 days before we find out if boris johnson's simple election message is going to pay off at the ballot box get bricks it done they spoke to this it's telling the public will see it they. they think that the public wants to hear

it's the simplifying the she. was here our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome what we begin the day with the cost of carbon and who's going to pay at the united nations climate conference in madrid governments are hoping to finalize the rules for international carbon markets and at the same time there are demands by poor countries for aid to help them cope with the damage the destruction already calls by climate change over this of course for. a question of leadership a group of climate n.g.o.s which monitor countries efforts to reduce emissions say that the world may be at a turning point towards overall reduction but their climate change performance index has just named the united states as the worst performing country replacing saudi arabia at the bottom of the list for the 1st time and that's all about

politics u.s. president donald trump may be facing pressure domestically with democrats today announcing those articles of impeachment against him in madrid he's also a new pressure from a potential rival in next year's u.s. presidential elections billionaire businessman and former new york mayor michael bloomberg was in madrid today with a message shared by many americans who do not view the world like their current president in the u.s. there are hundreds of may is short taking climate action and who are working to up all the america's commitment under the paris climate agreement and we want the world to know that americans are continuing to lead on climate change even with a climate denier and the white house now the reason i'm here in madrid is very simple i'm here because president trump is not here because his administration refuses to lead on climate change and so others must do the work that was michael bloomberg speaking there in madrid. well let's talk a bit about leadership from

a slightly different angle my next guest is a prime in the air an explorer from a long line of explorers he made the 1st flight or around the globe flights with a solar powered plane and before that he did it by balloon and he's also a clean energy advocate and a global goodwill ambassador for the u.n. climate program he joins us from madrid where he's attending the climate conference i'm happy to welcome tonight to the day mr bet tante card he joins us from madrid good to have you on the show mr mccaughey card how do you explain that not a single country is doing what is laid out in the paris climate accord i mean not one country is on the list that evening you think you put invitation yes my impression is that a lot of countries have not yet understood how profitable it is to predict the environment today there are hundreds of solutions and i see it every day we do

solar impulse donation hundreds of solution that can protect the environment in a profitable weight and creates new jobs it's good for the economy and at the same time it's good to fight climate change but if the companies don't understand it they resist instead of in raising the solutions to go forward well what you're saying there is that we have we need a rethink because it seems. understanding you're right that people believe that stopping climate change can only come at the expense of economic growth right. yes yes exactly that that's the problem and today we do not speak the language of the people who want to convince you to speak to people who have financial investments short term profits to make people who are afraid about their he 3 stations and the employment and you speak to them only about 2nd pfizer's to print again by humans that will keep you out of the room but if you come and you say look how profitable

it is look how many jobs you can create then you really. manage to motivate them but it's not the language that is used every day and this is the problem we have to change the language to be understood by the people who want to convince and have basically to change the narrative i want to ask you about something you know very well and that is the aviation sector i mean it is the only sector that has set a limit on total emissions the only sector in all sectors of the global economy what does the aviation sector know that the rest of the world apparently does not know. and he should know is that you don't take measures in order to reduce their emissions they're going to lose customers people are not going to travel by airline anymore if the airlines are not making an effort. and what is that effort what is what should it look like. the effort is to

introduce energy efficient technologies do call it used to have hybrid airplanes constant decent approaches you know some procedures that saves fuel you go in a more direct line and everything that you cannot avoid in the emissions can become conceited ever hamas has decided to compensate all this you to the interview of flights so you see there is hope because the private sector is now taking a lot of initiatives and this is maybe a reaction to the length of the negotiations the negotiations that took 252423 did bring frustration to everybody because they are too long they're not ambitious enough one of the private sector is stick here's even in finance you know financing all new renewables and not on any more making ambition or making industry

cleaner or going into a lot of new things you know in the european commission do do you green deal it's absolutely fascinating it comes from europe that's a fantastic opportunity that we have to do to support and to encourage or misprint when do you think the aviation industry the sector what is it going to become post carbon when are we going to have you know planes flying us across the world. with electricity for example batteries when that going to happen mr pickard ok let's see do we have the signal we've got him on skype from madrid are you still with us mr pickard unfortunately or we apologize for that we lost the signal there to madrid for finance minister for car. all right let's move on donald trump could become the 3rd u.s.

president ever to be impeached and tonight we know what exactly trump is being charged with u.s. house democrats announced today that they will bring 2 articles of impeachment against the president charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of congress a vote on impeachment is expected before christmas today congressional leaders said the evidence leaves no doubt about the guilt of donald trump the evidence of the president's misconduct is overwhelming and uncontested and how could it not be when the president's own words on july 25th i would like you to do us a favor though lays so bare his intentions is willing to sacrifice the national security for his own personal interests and when the president got caught he committed his 2nd impeachable act obstruction of congress of the very ability to make sure that no one is above the law not even the president of the united states . if you're shopping for clothes here in europe or north

america you know it's a buyer's market and a t. shirt for 5 euros no problem but with prices as low is that it's pretty clear that people who make the clothes are not earning very much at all the german government is now pushing ahead with legislation that requires corporations to ensure that their entire supply chain meets human rights and social standards and that includes fair wages in just a moment i'll speak with someone campaigning for a living wage and human rights for everyone who makes the shirts on our backs but 1st this report from ethiopia where the minimum wage means a monthly income is only $26.00. the ethiopian economy is booming and with it the country's textile industry industrial parks boast flagship factories clean and well lit but all things really as good as they look one of the big pulls for foreign companies are the low wages in

bangladesh the minimum wage is around $85.00 euros per month while in ethiopia is just 23 year rose. is that enough to live on back in june german television reported on the lives of textile workers in ethiopia. is accompanied them to their homes tiny huts in a slum. the women wanted to remain anonymous. they worked in 2 different factories making clothes for h. and m. among others. then a week ago we visited the women again and asked if anything had changed. do you know i was earning 23 year 0 month as my basic wage and 6 euros on top because of my extra skills then they said they'd raise my salary but they just added it together i now and 29 euros is a basic wage but nothing for my extra skills nothing has changed. the women have

moved and now have a bed but they still rely on their parents to get by a friend has been promoted in our earns $55.00 euros a month it's still not enough. i was hoping my life would change but since i started at the factory 4 years ago things have stayed the same it's tough. we also spoke to h. and m. they confirmed that the lowest monthly wage is $26.00 around $23.00. they are they say backing a study for a legal minimum wage in ethiopia. one woman says that has been a positive development. and they've changed one thing over time is now voluntary students can now attend their courses at university that's good.

there's not much else to celebrate day they tell us that the work is pressurised and intimidation and insults the commonplace. we're going to hear the big table is someone who is working to improve the conditions that you saw there that reports miriam zaga months is from the european center for constitutional and human rights it's good to have you on the program the german government wants to see corporations and here to shimon rights human rights codes volunteer all. that hasn't happened so far does that surprise you know it doesn't surprise me and that's the narrative since $78990.00 s. that companies should be good corporate citizens and you know do their social base respond to the social responsibility. of companies that are mainly driven by the shareholder value won't do shouldn't have won't have an interest in human rights because newt normally that means it raises costs where do you get the impression that we're seeing this government push now because the voters are demanding an

improvement in conditions on the other side of the planet or because politicians think that this helps them look better well i mean i think you can say we had those historic factory tragedies in 2012 and 13 that started with a pakistani on the enterprise's fire and then you had this with smaller fire but also with 100 at some point in bangladesh and then came the rana plaza can. with over 1000 dead workers and i think that did shake up the. public opinion in europe and you can see that ever since then the whole topic doesn't really leave leave the attention. so you know while i'm not too hopeful that the government also voluntarily will bring serious constraints to companies and business interest i do believe that at the moment there is an obvious window of

opportunity that they could be an improvement in the legal situation this year a german court through all the case that was brought against a german textile chain over the fire back in 2012 which killed more than 250 people you represented one of the survivors where did that case leave your campaign i think this case it's on the factual basis it's very strong case and i think you could see also from the media every view you know. people we met at the events you could tell if that case doesn't cause liability for a company if a company is not responsible for such enormous. disregard for workers' safety well that can be and i think this is what this case showed that we really have a gap in the legislation here and that something must be done at least to cover these kind of cases if you get the plan that we're talking about tonight if that becomes walled in corporations will have to be obliged to ensure that the entire

supply chain is on the open up human rights but one will they be able to enforce that and what about if they're doing business in a country where the laws of that country limit their ability to know what's going on throughout the entire supply chain yeah well i think this law what it does oblige comes in obliges them to a certain process of human rights to diligence which means that they would need to try to expand their leverage on supplier factory's on this. supply us i think what it can mean that in certain instances where they cannot control the supply chain they may need to change purchasing practices with you because you think they're going to do that well if if there are consequences attached to this human rights of the geishas what are the consequences should there be well that could be civil liability that's what you can think of i think they're also law proposals out there that talk about more of it administratively sanctions that could be put on them if they don't fulfill their human rights to diligence you know

and then of course is the question who brings the civil claims you know having done the case against kick it's enormous amounts of amount of work you know whereas the capacity within the authorities to monitor you know the sanctions i'm sure that obviously is that's all up to question i nevertheless would say you know if we've made a step that it's actually not a voluntary step to say i'm i'm trying to improve my working conditions my supply chain but it's actually legally binding that's at least one step ahead what about plausible deniability i can head a corporation and i can till the government or whoever is enforcing this we did everything we have proof of that we didn't know that we were being the one to by the authorities in bangladesh yeah i think then then it comes the question comes in is that a truthful excuse excuse and i guess those kind of laws obviously you do bring the possibility for companies to excuse themselves bed and that's and that's i think

what we advocating for the standard must be very high so there may be a situation when a company couldn't foresee the harm that occurs a lot of times they could i mean what the work that you're doing is work that benefits so many people but in the cynical world you have to look at it you have to wonder. will anything change and i say that because when you look at the german. you know economies investments in china. how credible can we take the german government and these proposals knowing that you're not talking about human rights or more in force and human rights requirements when you're doing business in china . well. that's a difficult question but so one for china you cannot equal china's labor policies with other human rights records of to china's government so i would say when you come in to for example wages wages have continually been raised in china so we have

no way to know if people for example in a factory in china if those workers are being treated fairly well not if they're being well you know well but i think that's that's that's a lie we believe the companies to i think they know much better what's going on in their factories and their supply chains then we would believe because they are controlling the technical details of the production very closely they just don't haven't cared about creating mechanisms to know what the social reality is in the factories and i think that's exactly what they will then be obliged to and i'd say i wouldn't believe that you cannot know how things are going on in your factory in china yeah that's true i mean it's hard to imagine that companies are not in the. us from the europeans and for constitutional and human rights we appreciate your time tonight your insights thank you thank you. me and mars the leader aung sang suu kyi has appeared at the international court of

justice at the hague to defend her country against genocide charges the case at the un's eye as court accuses me and mars military of mass killings and abuse of her hinge of minorities suit she has denied any wrong doing by her government she's expected to speak at the court on wednesday it's important to know that she was not obliged to appear at the hague in person instead she chose to do so critics say that her aim is to raise her profile ahead of elections and be in more in the past few days songs to g.'s supporters have held large rallies many see her as a defender of the embattled country on the global stage but we're hinge of refugees they paint a different picture. and the refugee camps of cox's bazaar a woman who once represented hope is now a pariah a consensus here on sunset she must answer for what happened to the rohingya.

get out of there how was it wasn't it we pray to a law that we will get justice. she is not a good person we once prayed sincerely to god for her who supported her when she came to power she did no good for us she's a mile we hate so she did nothing for us she's responsible for the genocide she talks to does she really does it. from one doorstep to the next march testimonies of ruthless violence at the hands of me and most military. you know there's another way out of the 2 soldiers hat me down while one of them raped me in front of my mother and 4 children was a job i said shit out of my shoulder didn't work and why did my daughter was crying so they hit her on the head with a weapon out of there go to the time of my soul hug. i lost 8 of my sons and grandsons they were all but shot by the military. unit.

a military burn to homes. we were a family of 18 and they killed 12 by burning them alive. they were more than 2000 people in our village and all their homes were burned in honor. suci has long defended me on mars 27000 crackdown on their hinges saying a target militants and she'll do so again at the hague. and majority myanmar the scrutiny of the un's top court has stoked indignation. over there not just accusing one pastor to me and mocking they're accusing the whole country we actually believe everything that unsung suchi does they are. a decision from the hague over me and marse treatment of the could take years a long and uncertain week for justice for people that have already lost so much.

britain votes on thursday of this week that will likely decide the fate of bricks and the future of the world's 5th largest economy the country is divided and the choices reflect that prime minister boris johnson's conservatives or the socialist led opposition labor party as part of our election coverage we take a look this week at both parties the conservatives and labor tonight we focus on the conservatives they are leaving in the opinion polls but as many as one in 5 voters remain undecided. johnson i think he will do it think he's a man why history and people have seen through boris johnson i think really most of us foreign minister love him or hate him almost everyone has an opinion on britain's incumbent prime minister the man himself is on a charm offensive visiting every region in england and wales including opposition

labor heartlands that voted to leave the european union like the northern town of grimsby where he taught a fish market he's cast himself as the man to get bricks it done appealing to leave voters no matter what question comes up he has home the same message to move forward as a country you can make investments now and to get that done we can you must have a politics next year he's focusing on those issues he's focusing on that agenda is driving this country not wasting time again for another year on. pointless wrangling. despite repeated scandals and defeats in parliament boris johnson's party is still ahead in the polls and that's even though the conservatives are bitterly divided but earlier this year johnson $321.00 and peace out of his own parliamentary group for not toeing the party line

among them winston churchill his grandson. the former chief public prosecutor. and the former finance minister and johnson's own brother resigned along with several other veteran tory m.p.'s it's populists it's telling the public was. this . they think that the public wants to hear it's over simplifying the issue but the prime minister is undeterred he says he'll pass if frex a deal in january and strike a free trade deal with the e.u. by late 2020 which observers believe is impossible get a brick. that's his mantra and he's sticking to it on thursday british voters get to decide in what could be britain's most important election in decades. and we will have complete coverage of the election right here on w.
