announcement came hours after tim burke took aim at business and political leaders meeting at the un climate conference in madrid let's take a listen to what she said there to stay below $1.00 degrees we need to keep the carbon in the ground. only setting up this event date and saying things which give the impression of that 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 that are to mark their address in the cop 25 will meantime the new president of the european union commission found a liar as well to put the climate's to put climate rather at the very heart of her presidency she's been presenting her promise green deal in brussels a plan welcome with the e.u. to achieving climate neutrality 52050000 martens spoke to one climate policy

analyst and has this report on some of the potential obstacles. more treaties 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 the sectors future proof along with flying shipping is 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. the biggest challenge i do see is with

him 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 sets your mower spokesperson for climate justice and international politics at the words alexa mart foundation and research 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 received the

title of person of the year from time magazine the youngest recipient ever your reactions that 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 didn't but teare 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 to reduce emissions present 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 wealth and still

save the climate 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 something they're trying to reduce their carbon footprint now they're saying that they're going to reduce their carbon footprint and if tommy gets reduced emissions and 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 a 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 what should they do. well for example stop building liquefied fossil gas infrastructures all over europe as must if you 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 a ton ok thank you so very much ted zimmer we're out of time from the rosa luxemburg foundation greatly appreciate you very much your take on your green deal to have you and. me and our civilian leader on some suchi has told to us top court that there was no proof of genocidal intent behind her country's military campaign against range of muslims all the 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 prize laureate said it can be ruled out that disproportionate force was used by mia mars armed forces but she denied that any crimes committed fell under the international definition of genocide more than 700000 for him just fled the unmarked to neighboring bangladesh to escape what has been described as an ethnic cleansing campaign involving mass

rapes and killings u.n. investigators last year concluded the treatment did amount to genocide and here's what city had to say about that it cannot be ruled out that disproportionate force was used by members of the defense of this is in some cases in this is a god of international humanitarian law all of that they did not distinguish clearly enough between our fight has and should they do. 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 deal 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 working state and look at how the hearing at the un's top court is being seen by displaced for hendra.

more than 700 sailors and benjamin islams let me on mar when the military launched a crackdown in iraq and state in august 27th escaping what's been described as an ethnic cleansing campaign most of the refugees now live in crowded camps in bangladesh. they tortured mothers and daughters they burned our houses they also raped me and i am grateful to god that myanmar is facing trial for that. young mars' actions against the regime just cause raging around the world no court has examined the evidence until 9. 0000 where were. the international court at the hague and some cities decision to come here to defend her government has shocked her critics and galvanize her supporters

we stand for her and we are on her site and she stands for us she stands for the whole bomoh she's tense for every religion every people of. every ethnicity of well not only we are like a slave we are slaves of the market so we are that's why it is so i came here to support i am i support to my peoples because we are many 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 caution for myanmar its image tarnished on the world stage could affect its future prospects. 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 support johnson started the day by delivering

milk in yorkshire and went on to derbyshire where he helped to bake a pie i described in big dish as a metaphor for his briggs a deal with the european union saying it was already 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 better get masa beer get we've seen the incumbent prime minister deliver milk today bake a pyre all efforts to appeal to the working people is it going to work. well he's for a start an unlikely romantic hero here period and in this. 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 bricks it done let's break through the gridlock in parliament many people here in the u.k. are really fed up with the brics a 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 tradeoffs negative economic consequences and it might actually take longer to negotiate to do 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 wants or maybe there could be a hung parliament now there are many groups here in the u.k. who are edging people especially people who want to prevent bricks and are fighting for another referendum aging them to vote tactically 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 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 it was johnson does gets a majority has been so divisive in the election campaign he has been really ruthless towards his opponents and he has a really alienated almost half of the british population who voted for remains that i think it is very difficult for him to do you 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 a big mess reporting from london thank you. i mean before i let you go i've just want to tell you don't forget you can always get the daily news on the go just download our apps from google play or from the app store that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as for sure the fissions for
