the bad. this is usually nice long live from but an upgrade all kept the u.n. climate conference with crucial deadlines looming world leaders still conjure green on funding international rules to slow global warming climate activists out of mounting immediate action and meaningful decisions also coming up the un says authorities inching they are guilty of serious human rights violations against government departments human rights experts want to see prosecutions between russia and on a little bit. on the ball bearing village that's better known new to china than in

its homeland the tiny town that's famous for doing it all thanks to the delicious local joke act. and how you could join me the u.n. climate talks in madrid appear to have stalled an activist you know meaningful deal well a much now they've criticized the lack of progress the meeting was supposed to end on friday but disagreements mean that the negotiations all dragging on representatives for more than 200 nations are trying to strike a deal on a mission's targets of am to finalize the look at the existing charis agreement on global warming which comes into force next year in. unity which will d.w. . who to undershoot has been following developments for us and she joins me now to

see tell us what's the latest well of course there is no agreement yet there's no consensus between the parties and the countries involved in these negotiations it's looking like the negotiations are going to drag into day time on sunday and the participants have been up all night discussing i mean with 20200 different countries you'd expect the discussions take and then go take a long time but the journalists who are actually at the summit they're beginning to use words like marathon talks marathon negotiations say these discussions are on life support and we were expecting an update on the negotiations in the last half hour but that it seems has also been pushed back the chilean delegation they currently hold the presidency and a couple of hours ago counting a schmidt who's also the top $25.00 president she says she's also chile's

environment minister and she looking quite tired i have to say her off to being up for quite a long time and pleaded with the delegates to be to be more flexible and to reach an agreement here's what she had to say. i request. all the fix ability. all your strength. now and all your volunteer to find you know these agri one of the 6 consensus is that we need to have an ambitious we saw. we are almost there he's hard it's difficult but he's worth it. we just listened to that appeal that but we know that parties have been talking to weeks now of what is holding them up well it seems that there's a lot of details this the summit was always going to be about how the how the different countries reach an agreement to reduce their emissions and on one hand

they're the scientists and the activists who say they represent the people of the world who demand action on reducing emissions and on the other side we have the national governments who are there to actually drop the policies to help companies and countries reduce their emissions and the scientists are saying that the governments aren't doing enough. and for instance one of the one of the members of the union of concerned scientists he said he had never seen the almost total disconnect between what the science requires and what the people of the world demand and what climate negotiations are delivering in terms of meaningful action so the stalemate is is due to a number of different factors there were disagreements between countries about carbon markets and how they function the rules covering schemes that countries to buy and sell the rights to emit greenhouse gases then there's the question of

compensation for the countries the poor countries who are already experiencing difficulties and and losses and damage from climate change seeing rising sea levels and they want richer countries to compensate them to help them deal with these problems they're facing right now. and then finally there's the question of targets and plans to actually reduce the greenhouse gases that some countries will these plants that that countries can commit to the u.n. wants to make the countries commit to more ambitious plans. and but only a tipping participants of actually submitted more ambitious plans some countries say they're doing enough already and their existing plans and on a very briefly what happens next so well we're hoping to find out whether the parties have reached a consensus and then where hoping to to want to hear and see how these different

countries can reach the agreements that are decided in the final draft which still hasn't come out yet we are waiting on that d w reporter anna shorter thanks a lot for bringing us the latest on that developing story. well as the u.n. climate talks drag on an international group of scientists is preparing to spend the winter on the arctic ice now will be aboard a german research ship frozen onto a drifting ice floe the year long expedition will study the effects of climate change on the arctic it took almost 2 months for these pictures to arrive in germany the polish town has sailed so far north that satellite transmission was nearly impossible. the arctic is changing thinning eyes had made it extremely difficult to find a suitable ice flow for the research station to spend the winter on. a large part of the ice flows relatively thin which is characteristic of the modern

arctic a thin layer of stabilized means there's a lot of unstable ice beneath it. named psych the expectation aims to gain a better understanding of climate change in the arctic 20 nations are participating in a project. that's because the arctic has been heating up faster than anywhere else in the world. the sea ice in many places is now only half as thick as in the past decade. the polar region is closely linked to the climate of the rest of the world we won't be able to predict the climate if we don't understand what's happening in the arctic right now there are huge uncertainties in our understanding of the climate system here. this is the last supply ship for the crew once it leaves scientists who spend the winter in darkness until the sun rises again next spring. well let's take

a look now at some of the other stories making news around the walls police of clash with anti-government protesters in the lebanese capital beirut firing tear gas to prevent them getting through barricades neapolitan meant demonstrations calling for political reform been taking place across the country the last 2 months . of course in sudan has convicted the country's former dictator omar bashir of corruption the man who rules did on whole session yes was sentenced to 2 days of detention as she was ousted in april amid a civil uprising. flooding in southern france has left thousands of homes and businesses without power emotions the services carried west out rescue operations as water levels rose by 30 centimeters in our watch at least one person has been killed and several others injured by falling trees. rescue as in new zealand have returned to the scene of last week's folk a no eruption but have so far failed to find the bodies of the 2 missing victims
