announcement came hours after turn work took aim at business and political leaders meeting at the un climate conference in madrid let's take a listen to some of what she had to say. to stay below 1.5 degrees we need to keep the carbon in the ground. only setting up this tent date and saying things which give the impression of the action is underway will most likely do more harm than good because the changes we quiet are still nowhere in sight the politics needed does not exist today despite what you might hear from world leaders gothenburg addressing cop 25 well meantime did new president of the european commission earth of underlying has vowed to put the climate at the heart of her presidency where she's been presenting her promised green deal in brussels the plan will commit the e.u. to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 scouts and martin spoke to one climate policy analyst and has this report on some other potential obstacles. more trees

throughout europe and more sequestering of c o 2 that will be the 1st step that 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 words 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. 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. well with me here in the studio is that's your miller's spokesperson for climate justice and international politics at the rose 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 going to tim berg was receive 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 doesn't need awards they don't need recognition they think the tiriel climate action and they need a future so i think 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 to reduce emissions present self's that 2050 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 the 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 wealth and still

save the climate have to make a choice and the green deal does not make the choice ok so it doesn't make that choice let's talk about it get there trying to do something or trying to reduce their carbon footprint you know 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 is in decline that lead to 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 what should they do. well for example stop building liquefied fossil gas infrastructures all over europe as massive hugh commission 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 reduction but instead they're giving us more targets which honestly don't save the client ok thank you so very much ted zimmer rick run out of time from the rosa luxemburg foundation greatly appreciate you very much your take on your green deal good to have you with me mara civilian leader aung san suu kyi has told the un's top court that there was no proof of genocidal intent behind her country's military campaign against revenge on muslims testimony on tuesday described stunningly barbaric acts against the range of population including children and babies speaking at the international court of justice in the hague the nobel peace laureate said it couldn't be ruled out that disproportionate force was used by myanmar's armed forces but she denied that any crimes committed fell under the international definition of genocide on more than 700000 rand jeff fled me in march in neighboring bangladesh to escape what has been described as an ethnic

cleansing campaign involving mass rapes and killings one of us to get his last year concluded the treatment did amount to genocide. so let's hear now from suchi these ben mind this complex situation and the challenge to sovereignty and security in our country when you're assessing the intent of those who attempted to do with the rebellion surely under the circumstances genocidal intent cannot be the only hypothesis. let's find out more about the atrocities that took place in wrecking state and look at how the hearing at the un's top court is being seen by displaced french. more than 700 slaves in britain jim islams fled myanmar when the military launched a crackdown in iraq einstein in august 27th escaping what's been described as an ethnic cleansing campaign most of the refugees now live in created camps in

support i am and i support my peoples because we are many is suffering since long time young mars government and its military leaders continue to deny accusations of ethnic cleansing and genocide just 3 cases have been recognized under international law since world war 2 whatever the outcome in the hague this week there will be record cautions for myanmar its image tarnished on the world stage could affect its future prospects. india's parliament has passed a controversial new law that offers says the ship to undocumented migrants from its neighboring countries. as long as they're not muslims the upper house passed a bill by 125 votes to 105 the bill has already been approved by the lower house on monday and is now set to be signed into law the bill has sparked protests in various parts of the country with opponents saying it discriminates against muslims

and violates india's secular principles. 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 i'm going to start at the day by delivering milk in yorkshire and then went on to derbyshire where he helped to bake a pie while he described the big dish as a metaphor for his briggs a deal with the european union saying it was all waiting to go and johnson called thursday's election in the hope of getting parliament to support his regs it's a policy but it is not a done deal yet let's take you now to london to our correspondent there barry get masa beer gets a we've seen the incumbent prime minister deliver milk today bake upaya all efforts to appeal to the working people is it going to work. well

for a start an unlikely romantic hero here appeared in the. spot a cult love story christmas love story but he's also pretending to be a man of the people with delivering milk now his personal ratings actually are not very good and yet his message is easy for many people it goes down well because he's saying let's get bragg's it done let's break through the gridlock in parliament many people here in the u.k. are really fed up with the breaks and process they don't understand why it's all taking so long and johnson is making it look very easy said he can deliver in just a few weeks that u.k. will leave the you also he can deliver a trade deal his critics of course point out that there will be trade offs negative economic consequences and it might actually take longer to negotiate a deal with the e.u. but for many people they were a lot want to listen to his message and they would just want to be finished with

rex it now his conservative party is as we speak now still leading in the polls but a recent survey shows that the race is tightening considerably is there still hope for the oppositional labor party. well we have seen that in the last weeks that the labor party has really been trailing quite far behind the conservatives that they had caught up with the conservatives and the question is will. gets a clear majority as you obviously once or maybe there could be a hung parliament now there are many groups here in the u.k. who edging people especially people who want to prevent bricks and are fighting for another referendum they are edging them to vote technically and even though they might not like jeremy corbyn and his labor party to vote for them if they have a chance to get a majority in a particular constituency and then prevent just marching through after us johnson in the open in the elections. the u.k.

at the moment is a very divided country once these elections are over what are the chances of the country coming back together. well yes the country is really deeply polarized over the briggs's issue and i think it really depends how it's going to continue and we just don't know it might be that if we have a hung parliament so a nuclear majority the side that actually the talk about bricks and how to resolve this is going to continue for quite some time but even if bush wins and does gets a majority has been so divisive in the election campaign he has been really ruthless towards his opponents and ideas a really alienated almost half of the british population who voted for remains that i think it will be very difficult for him to to get the country back together and also he hasn't really shown that he will want that so this issue i think is going to remain for some time to come it's
