with a possible war crime they also make clear that there was at no point in her opinion were there other genocidal act and even if you prefer being marched courts to decide. but at the same sort of there are also many other people who came out here in support to take a stand for us on city of a few 100 m. emerged people from all over the world fine in purposefulness canada forming signs as a chav in support of their leader and now a max of course the crimes documented by do you when the last year described were described well what's happening in the key state were described as the greatest crimes under international law they are still ongoing how what we listen we can this court do. so we're talking about traditional measures at the moment. introduced 3 days during the course will decide if there will. be a trend down here for courts to bring remark to essentially 2 and it still should refrain

from any dangerous act. here by protecting the remaining 600000. more and there's actually stopping the violence to push the 3 days you're reading would be a verdict. in terms of. the genocidal action if you were not now xander reporting from a date thank you on a bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world . saudi arabian oil giant around coke has become the world's largest listed company after making its debut on the country's stock exchange of state owned energy companies $25000000000.00 initial public offering is the biggest ever in history saudi arabia is privatizing assets as a step towards reducing its reliance on oil. french prime minister

has announced details of a long anticipated pension reform plan the proposal includes concessions to union is leading a strike that has crippled public transport since last week a labor unions say the reforms still go too far. in the south pacific island of have voted overwhelmingly to break away from pop when you getting the vote paves the way for it to become the world's newest nation more than 98 percent of voters backed independence. in the u.k. there's just one day to go to what's being called the most important election in a generation and politicians are making a final push for votes prime minister boris johnson started the day by delivering milk in yorkshire he then went on to derbyshire where he helped to bake a pie he described the big dish as a metaphor for his breaks a deal with the european union saying it was ready to go johnson called thursday's

election in the hope of getting parliament to support his brakes it policy. all right let's take you straight to london to our correspondent there gets a where on the eve of that all important election a bigot we just saw the incumbent prime minister deliver a milk to day make up piii even featured in a recreated scene from love actually he's obviously pulling out all the stops is it convincing voters. well yes boris johnson i guess is an unlikely romantic hero the saying here is that he's like mom a mom i people either love him or they hate him his actual opinion polls his passing writings are not very good negative but his message is deceptively i would say and many critics is a easy he's just saying get breaks it down and he's been hammering this message through throughout this election campaign and many of ages and possibly particular

particularly undecided voters for them it will just sound like the way forward they don't want to hear any more about rex's they are fed up with the gridlock in parliament they are fed up with a politician's who basically haven't been able to come to a common consensus on breaks it and a lot of people would probably be persuaded in the end to to vote for boris johnson because of that message his critics of course say it's not that easy there will be negotiations with the e.u. for years to come it's not all going to be over in a matter of if you weeks or months as boris johnson is promising the vote is now because the conservatives seem to be on course to win 330 no sorry let me go back to that because we wanted to pull some numbers for you he is still leading the polls for the reasons probably that you just reported on but a recent survey is showing that the race is tightening let's take

a closer look let's pull those numbers up and then see where things stand now according to a you gov. poll there ok well the conservative seem to be on course to win 339 seats in the 650 seat parliament against 231 for the labor party but pollsters say other outcomes are possible including a hung parliament or a landslide victory for johnson so arrogant obviously i mean everything is still to play for more or less can labor in a final election push bridge the gap and win over more voters or those that are undecided. from what we have seen over the last weeks it's fairly unlikely that labor is going to really gain on the last meters in this election campaign consistently the conservatives and boris johnson's have been leading in the polls but as you said it might not be the clear majority that boris johnson is hoping for it might be

a hung parliament and this is what many who are asking people to vote technically are hoping for there are many campaigns here in the u.k. mostly from those groups who are hoping to remain in the european union are hoping at least for another referendum on the issue for the british people to just have a think and decide it can if they really want to leave under us johnson's terms and they are saying look at your constituency look who you should vote for either a liberal democrat maybe a green or jeremy corbyn even if you don't like jeremy cooper and the labor party just hold your nose because the saying is jeremy corbyn who is very he has even more negative ratings personal ratings of course johnson jeremy corbyn is for christmas but brags it is forever so there are many people who are hoping that labor can catch up and then the last days well on that note bigot let's take a closer look now at the labor party's election campaign and we'll continue our

conversation after that. it's time for real change that's the message the labor party wants to get across to voters jeremy corbyn is pledging to nationalize utilities phone call money into public services and in years of austerity under the conservatives we've had 9 years in which 150 people have become millionaires in britain we've had 9 years during which 4000000 children are living in poverty don't you think it's time to get rid of the government that brought that about. the poll ratings show labor training. conservatives corbin has struggled to put down allegations that he's allowed anti semitism to thrive in the party earlier this year 8 lawmakers resigned in protest over and she said it isn't. the london district of battersea it's considered a bellwether area as it usually votes for the party that ends up winning this time

many seem disillusioned just a kind of i'm not really concentrating anymore in a toll if i'm honest probably more traditionally lean towards labor and i would like to vote for labor however i'm not convinced that. breaks it 50 could be the biggest issue for a long time labor had no clear policy on bret's it now called in says he'd renegotiate the bracks deal with europe and then hold a 2nd referendum. actually over and. probably more keen to actually just finish this break the process now i don't want to drag it on any longer i preferred a conservative government so now. observers say the labor party and corbin in particular have an image problem this week he seems indecisive actually ought to consider a soft on terrorism and crime scene as someone who simply can't wake up one morning . that cert the labor party's poll ratings have improved as the campaign has

progressed and jeremy corbyn is competing with the prime minister his popularity rates are to some of what tim burke had to say as she spoke in madrid earlier we no longer have time to leave out the science. for about a year i have been constantly talking about our rapidly declining carbon budgets over and over again. but since that is still being ignored i will just keep repeating it. speaking there earlier staying with the theme of climate change the new president of the european commission or his love on her life has vowed to put the claim it to put climate rather at the heart of her presidency she's been presenting her a promised green deal in brussels the plan will commit the e.u. to achieving climate in tragedy by 2015 and catherine the martens spoke to one climate policy allison has this report on some of the potential obstacles. more

trees throughout europe and more sequestering of c o 2 that will be the 1st step but europe wants much more. it will need radical restructuring we need enormous investments in the energy sector we need to transform our mobility sector we need to transform our food system and we need to ensure that our euros are being spent to make these sectors future proof along with flying shipping as one of the worst climate killers engines on the high seas run on crude oil when it gets burned even more pollution is created then with diesel but so far ships have been allowed to sail without c o 2 certificates now the e.u. wants to change this in the future shipping will also be included in the emissions trade a challenge for all member states. but the biggest challenge i do see is with

them ambition of member states all of the e.u. member states are subsidizing fossil fuel projects in various different ways we have a long history of giving exemptions for diesel kerosene for aviation these should be the low hanging fruits that if we really are series about this transition we remove harmful subsidies but that costs money in order to pay for the so called green deal the e.u. wants to redistribute funds less for farming and infrastructure more for environmental protection this is already controversial poland hungary and the czech republic economically underdeveloped states have been blocking this plan. we discussed about the e.u. budgets monies not being put into modernizing the budget at least they have asked that current proposal stands this is not a budget for the future who we have a goal that 25 percent of the e.u.

budget would be spent on climate action what is done with the rest 75 percent if that is being spent on harmful practices for climate we don't achieve our goal the e.u. is a climate leader who is of the fundamental and has set a fast pace whether other member states want to follow perhaps ultimately the question of financing. well we here in the studio assess your miller spokesperson for climate justice and international politics at the words alexa marc foundation and we're so happy to have you here with us to talk about the green deal but before we do that want to get a quick reaction from you we just heard of course gratitude emberg was received the title of person of the year from time magazine the youngest recipient ever your reactions. i think it's great that people are aware of the climate justice movement but the young generation climate don't need awards they don't need recognition they need for to real climate action and they need a future so i think great with an award or recognition but we need material action

let's talk about material action that you is planning to put its money where its mouth is you green deal is that ambitious enough no model it's got 3 problems 1st of all it's a set of targets and targets don't reduce emissions gresson itself said the 25th you talk is completely irrelevant i can say i can put a family on mars by 2050 and nobody will care because it's 5 legislative elections down the line secondly it's a growth strategy and growth capitalist growth created this problem you can't grow your way out of a problem that was caused by growth and thirdly and last point it's a fairy tale it perpetuates the illusion that we can both maintain our high growth high speed high production high wealth lifestyle in the global growth and still save the planet have to make a choice and the green deal does not make that choice ok so it doesn't make that choice let's talk about it they're trying to do. they're trying to reduce their carbon footprint now this saying that they're going to reduce their carbon footprint and if tom gets reduced emissions then the paris agreement which said we're going to keep warming to 1.5 degrees would have already saved a lot look we live in i live in germany here and germany has for

a long portrayed as has a climate leader but it isn't it isn't we'll figure in renewable energies it's world leader in burning soft brown coal which is the dirtiest of all fossil fuels europe isn't the climate leader its wealth is based on exporting lots of things like for example cars that destroy the climate really the green deal seems to be more pretending to save the climate while actually trying to save the economy so much that they do. for example stop building liquefied fossil gas infrastructures all over europe as massive you can lease in projects to expand infrastructure to burn another fossil fuel so-called natural but actually fossil gas they could as the colleague on some of the said stop subsidizing fossil fuels they could cap cost production but instead they're giving us more targets which honestly don't save the climate ok thank you so very much ted zimmer run out of time from the rosa luxemburg foundation greatly appreciate you very much your take on your green deal to have you. next up it's known as the toughest rowing race in the world and for
