i am . this news coming to you live from berlin protests is dropped over india's new citizenship law demonstrators in the capital delhi torch vehicles and clash with police this is a new bill that offers honesty to religious minorities from neighboring countries is anti muslim. also coming up anger and disappointment as not a time to climb the talks and written no new goals to the un says the world has lost an opportunity to act with talk to the head of greenpeace international. a

lot of good christmas being without the not crack up. we go behind the scenes in every media rises to half the renowned bolshoi ballet academy. in the bundesliga bloodbath on knocked off top spot after live good condemns them to defeat at books but. hello and welcome good to have you with us in india violent protests over a controversial new citizenship law has spread to university campuses critics say the legislation is anti muslim and violates india's constitution in the capital delhi demonstrators set fire to sever buses police responded with tear gas hundreds of people were injured in clashes across the country. the legislation grass roots

to citizenship for refugees who are members of religious minorities from baghdad this pakistan and afghanistan it does not apply to muslims. from i'm joined now in the studio by british band news is you welcome i'm based on these protests have spread to many cities and they've gone to university campuses we saw some ugly scenes of clashes between police and students over night why are people so angry when i'm with i depend entirely on who you ask if you ask most people in their various parts of india they would say that this is and to most of them we've mentioned that the full it is exclusionist a veritable attack on the secular character of the indian constitution but if you take that argument to the northeast of the country in assam state none of this applies to people over there are simply saying that they are what it that they will be swamped by illegals by foreigners by outsiders so that is the what are you over there but the common thread to all of this is that everybody is against the

citizenship amendment act ok listen talk about what is the issue there what is at stake what's at stake is as for the assamese their language that culture they headed to that demographics that has long been the feeling in the sand on this manifested itself in that before no movement of the early eighty's in which hundreds of people died the assamese believe that they are being swamped by migrants coming in from maybe from bung others who speak bengali and they're both hindu and muslim so they have already been arguing this means that their culture is at risk from these big old speaking eagle migrants and they want them out and they believe that the new citizenship amendment act will essentially make a lot of these people legal when in fact they shouldn't even be there now but they make them legal but it's on the basis of for lidge and then only make the kindle a button that they she is legal but not the muslims to the assamese it does not matter it doesn't matter if they don't view this as an anti muslim act it does not matter. to them that the muslims are being left out or hindus are being included

for the us music is all illegals those who have no right to claim indian citizenship as but their standards they should not be allowed to be in the country and for them to citizenship remembered does that you also have to go back a few months a look at the national register of citizens this is some the 1st promised to the assamese as a way to placate them as part of what was called the assam accords in 1905 which promised that all illegals would be weeded out but that would now not happen because a number of people would become a part of us on the do just that dusty to different parts of india and the main issue appears to be that this is discriminate create discriminates against muslims and if it's fundamentally india secular constitution how valid is that argument that little the constitution is and that is what the opposition is claiming that is what people as you correctly point out in most parts of india actually having the government certainly doesn't think so the government's claim was that look we are trying to provide protection to religious minorities who fred who've fled

persecution but as for the government it is only the hindu sikhs jans with this parsis who are facing persecution in pakistan afghanistan and. bangladesh and not the muslims there is no mention of the roughly 700000000 rohingya living in bangladesh or the embodies of pakistan who've been facing burgers and for decades. thank you very much let me be up to some of the stories making news around the flat news media reporting that the trump administration plans to announce even a 4000 troops from afghanistan president donald trump visited minutes in person and then last month he is the source of it do you think u.s. presence in the country about $13000.00 soldiers accounting deployed in afghanistan . turkish president john says he could close a 2 minute to bases used by the u.s. he was responding to questions about possible u.s.

sanctions and the congress still resolution recognizing the armenian genocide the interlake is a key facility for us and the 2 planes. police in hong kong have said it will not tolerate any more violence following scuffles between protesters and police over the weekend hundreds of activists and gathered in shopping malls across the city where riot police made several arrests. and the hong kong pro-democracy activists have gained a lot of sympathy in many parts of the was the town mainland china state propaganda highlights the violence by the testers and praises the hong kong police and china censorship machine and shows the dissenting voices go unheard but they do exist as fun and mathias belinda reports about one man's mission to amplify them. after lunch i changed into a new set of clothes covered my face with a black mask and merged into the stream of black people do i know why hong kong

people are protesting i'm very clear about that do i know the risk of participating in these protests as a mainland very clearly yes if i get arrested i would likely be sent back to the mainland where i might simply evaporate into thin air nobody would see me alive again and if i died nobody would ever see my body. the testimony from china's mainland in support of the hong kong protests one of the voices the chinese government is trying to silence this man who calls himself midway dude is trying to make them heard he was born on the mainland as well. i know that there are people in china who love democracy who love freedom and who support hong kong. but with the current situation they cannot speak out. because he's afraid of retribution and has relatives on the mainland midway dude

cannot reveal his identity he grew up on the mainland and moved to hong kong at a young age it was here he started questioning that nationalism he was raised with little by little he grew to support on this democracy movement. when you've gotten to know freedom it's very hard to go back to a situation where you don't have any freedom at all. mainlanders who support hong kong's protests might be a minority but midway do things they should be heard they can submit their story to him by an anonymous form then he posts them on twitter and his log even he himself does not know their identity because this project tree holds in chinese legend the place people whisper their secrets into. there is a trend in china in recent years that your colleagues your friends even your family members all students will report you to deal far as he's. they think you're not

nationalistic enough they think your betraying your country. these past 10 years i've seen with my eyes wide open how my favorite comics t.v. shows and books were banned and have disappeared from the shelves in mainland china i saw how the best opinion leaders were arrested or silenced. i said nothing and i did nothing now i regret that i deeply regret that. that's why i cannot bear to see this happen again. this guy truly has courage he lives up to his words and he walks the talk i have great respect for this. he has received over 200 messages so far 200 little signs of dissent from a country where different opinion can be a crime that support that. mad town un climate talks

have ended in madrid would say little to show major economies rejected calls for voda targets to combat climate change sparking anger among developing countries and activists hoping for emergency action u.n. secretary general antonio also voiced his disappointment calling the summit a lost opportunity to act. they were the longest talks to date leaving representatives exhausted with little progress made on how to limit global warming to under 2 degrees but there was agreement on one issue regretfully after all the hard work that you have all done we couldn't get our to an agreement it is my sincere regret that we were not able to reach an agreement we invested a lot of energy and find a very fresh. that. at the end of the day we were not able to

arrive at a final agreement observers had hoped that cup $25.00 would end with a framework for a carbon certificate scheme imposing a tax on each tonne of greenhouse gas produced a condom is an environmental activists alike say it's a critical step if the world hopes to minimise the impending climate catastrophe but a deal couldn't be reached in part due to resistance from some of the world's worst polluters like the usa china india and australia. forcing delegates to only pledge to do more to uphold the paris climate agreement. with leadership in short supply in madrid environmental activists saying it's time for the european union to step up i mean this conference in madrid is really a good point for the entire much of there to listen on on climate change and it's now up to the european union with the green deal to go ahead with a clear vision of carbon free neutral economy all eyes are now on next year's

meeting in glasgow but while the world continues to drag its feet the worst predictions of climate scientists have already started to become a reality. joining me now is jennifer morgan she's the executive director of greenpeace international. and the climate talks in madrid ended with a years of blame game and accusations and if i what is your assessment of what was achieved it. well the summit itself was indeed the outcome was unacceptable but i think that the finger pointing should be going at the corporate interests and the carbon pollution interests that are behind the fact that governments were not ready to come in with much deeper cuts and and actions to actually address the climate emergency so what he'll saying is perhaps if full of that away from tackling climate change than ever before what fundamentally needs to

change well i think that on the one hand you see people in the streets you see that youth that were at the cop trying to push the from that side of the society i think people get it they need governments to act and so what needs to change will governments need to start engaging with their citizens and putting in place national laws that are going to phase out greenhouse gas emissions in a socially just way that will then allow the un were all countries have a say and can block like wilson are like trying to move forward it really is governments at home to stop putting short term interests of their companies ahead of what their young people are saying they want to happen so i do say that we've been you know we've had so many summits jennifer we've had silly discussions going on heads of government heads of countries talking to each other and yet every time they foreshore to what they hope to achieve what is the fundamental conundrum where

does one need to bring about fundamental change in the front to see. well i think the fundamental conundrum is that for example paulson our own government right now is not not acting in a way that is listening to people it is and i know i'm repeating myself but if you look at who makes company policy in germany the auto industry in germany has blocked significant action by the government so the government in germany just as an example and this is true for around the world needs to step back they need to look at systemic change they need to work with with their citizens they need to put that interest in head of the car industry and the car industry needs in a in a managed way to transform into something that's consistent with the climate emergency the atmosphere is not going to wait it will continue to bring these types

of impacts we're seeing until we have a systemic change in until the young people actually are the voices that governments like germany's listen to they're talking about young people because the young people are getting increasingly engagement saying this fight is for a future move lens what impact do you think they could have on policy. well i think you know the young people around the world are are demanding more but they are not responsible so what we need is actually the policy makers to pick it up. they can hopefully look themselves in the mirror hearing the young people behind him and have the courage to do something different the u.n. is just a representation of what's happening on national levels but what they need to do in the government level on young people listening to them listening to the island nations who in madrid were pleading for action because their very survival is at stake they need to to roll up their sleeves and put in place national laws that

will she face out greenhouse gas emissions then maybe young people around the world will feel that they have some hope for their future jennifer morgan executive director of greenpeace international a pleasure to talk to you and. thank you. clashes between police and anti-government protesters have left dozens wounded in the lebanese capital beirut the test is out there for a 2nd night despite a crackdown by security forces they want a new independent head of government not connected with the established political parties. what started as a peaceful rally soon turned violent. was. riot police firing tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon to despairs the protesters. leaving dozens injured.

the weekend so the toughest crackdown by security forces since the beginning of anti-government protests 2 months ago. was people here are angry at the political elite who they accuse of corruption and mismanagement and blame for the worst economic crisis lebanon has seen in decades. i. am at the hague and this is how it started and this is how we will continue we won't leave until they submit to want amongst they're the ones who looted a country and they're the ones who caused us to this point we just want all right one and not one. but remember has it that the very man the blame above all others may be making a comeback former prime minister saad hariri resigned from his post at the end of october after anti-government protests 1st erupted. lebanon's president michel aoun is expected to meet parliamentary blocs later this week to name

a new prime minister and many expect hariri to be reinstated. that possibility has further in reach protesters i. am looking at this. really is part of the corrupt system and when we are against him the notebook to be money we don't care who they named but it must be someone who can get us out of this mess that we should not over someone who can lead a transitional government and save levanon obviously the lettering of god we don't want anyone from the corrupt classes and i but the reeling elites are reluctant to give up power after weeks of bickering political parties have failed to pick forward independent means for government posts i if the protests are spears or poor knights and terry returns to office there may be more nights like this on the streets of beirut.
