the be . this is the w.'s coming to you live from berlin the end. of india's new citizenship demonstrators in the capital delhi torch pickles and clash with police to see a new bill that offers amnesty to religious minorities from neighboring countries is anti muslim but also a program. anger and disappointment as mass on climate talks and with no new goal

in the un says the world has lost an opportunity to act we told the head of greenpeace international. and the beirut sandridge into afghan security forces tracked down an act of god into a task opponents are demanding a new independent media for the country. plus what for christmas day without the not a crack at the end. to go behind the scenes in russia very needs a rising young star to renowned bolshoi ballet company. hello and welcome good to have your company. there have been violent protests in india over a contentious citizenship you know passed by parliament the legislation provides

a fast track for citizenship to refugees from bungled this baucus on in afghanistan but it does not apply to muslims the opposition to it has been especially strong in india's northeast and a sound stage which borders bung of this as you can see there now is an ethnically diverse region with a large muslim population but the unaddressed now has also spread to other parts of the country where people say it goes against the constitution and does secular traditions in the capital delhi demonstrators set fire to buses police responded with tear gas. delhi riot police fire a volley of tear gas their target student protesters holed up inside the capital's prestigious islamic university yes the latest front in the battle for the soul of india. students took shelter here after

a protest descended into chaos they're angry at what they call. after trading rocks with the police demonstrators by italy surrender with their hands are lost. on to buses destination unknown. to them nothing. but what we did up is pretty sparse also we did did not under $30.00 damage it does cause damage to public property it was called some people. pointed out on us and we have. them back on the road to go to spots on the lot of it is stored in the area. the police told us to walk out with their hands up and so we did what we were told. they are in. the history of the students in the library have left the and they all came out with their hands up. tensions were running high across india later in the day darning buses foretold the

violence that would follow. and. hundreds marched in opposition to the bell some here vowing retribution should the government ostracize muslims. from how to be america were ready to support the government but if they're going to harass muslims and it won't be tolerated muslim groups will launch a massive movement in response. and there was no let up on monday police beat back a large crowd of students at a muslim college and a top british one officer using a brick but any hopes of paving over the growing tide of unrest look misplaced. jimmy now is getting his fantasy from the news is you're welcome these forces as i mentioned started in the state of asylum in the north east but they've now spread to other ponce off india why are people so angry it depends really on who you are

school you put the question so if you ask people in the protests actually began for them it has nothing to do with it to being and the 2nd and muslim. they fear that they will be swamped by illegals. outside does their fear that these people who shouldn't be in india even on assam will suddenly get a legal pathway to becoming citizens of india and hence be able to live in assam but if you ask people in other parts of india as we saw in that report over there the fear is that this is an attack on the secular character of the indian constitution which. in a country which does not have a state religion in which all religions are equal it is an attack on that in the view of us and the muslim and exclusionist rights and they are obviously not a lot of criticism about this being anti muslim and being kind of undermining india's secular traditions and why. did the indian government decide to leave from this act well the official version that came from the home minister as it was as

your table the bill in parliament when it was being discussed was that we are providing protection to religious minorities and the countries in question but just on bangladesh of gunnison majority muslim nations therefore muslims don't require protection from persecution because muslims convert persecuted in this country because their majority muslim fact was the argument that the government put forth in parliament critics are naturally not buying it critics are saying this is a clear enough version of the hindu nationalist agenda of the ruling b.g.p. party a number that is something that we've seen over the past many years from the 1st 2014 when that interim only came to power there has been a number of attacks intimidation that the muslim community in india has been facing just for the benefit of our viewers a community that number's roughly 200000000 so it's not a small number so this act that has now become law for many critics is a veritable illustration of the priorities of this government which is to serve the

hindu vote by that of course also this year muslim countries restrained in government listings have been disallowed have a prosecuting muslim minorities out as in afghanistan you have a medea's and pakistani army lingus and bang that they say so but now that this is something that's taking this. to the act and to to court now and saying is discriminatory. how divisive is this issue in india it is very divisive of the moment and the way things are going on today it looks to become even more divisive because remember these protests have been spreading it was a sound that was at the forefront of protest the last week and then it sort of spread to other countries if you just saw in the into other states as we saw in that report so it is extremely divisive many people of viewing it as a battle for the soul of india and the soul of the constitution is india a secular nation or will india picking choose whom it wants to provide protection to one of the beasts of religion that is the essential question. thank you very

much let me bring you up to there are some other stories making news around the world u.s. media reporting that the trump administration plans to announce of a drone of 4000 troops from afghanistan present from visits of military personnel that last month he has long sought to reduce the u.s. presence in the country about $13000.00 soldiers the county deployed in afghanistan . president says he could close to military bases used by the u.s. he was responding to a question about possible u.s. sanctions and the congressional resolution recognizing the armenian genocide. is a key facility for the u.s. and nato planes. police in hong kong have said they will not tolerate any. scuffles between protesters and offices over the weekend hundreds of activists had gathered in shopping malls across the city where right police made several arrests

. the hong kong pro-democracy activists have gained a lot of sympathy in many parts of the world as a mainland china state media accuses the protesters of being riotous while fostering instability and china's censorship machine ensures that dissenting voices go unheard but they do exist in the building reports about one man's mission if i 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 the mainland very clearly yes if i get arrested i would like to 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 hood 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 is 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 kwame's 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 via an anonymous form then he posts them on twitter and his blog even he himself does not know their identity because this project tree hole in chinese legend the place people will spend 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 the old florida keys. they think you are 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 a different opinion can be a crime. and that the talks have ended in madrid that they have little to show major economies rejected calls for bolder targets to combat climate change stocking anger among developing countries and activists hoping for emergency action the u.n. secretary general until you've 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. couldn't get all 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 it very frustrating. 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 minimize 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 parents 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 it 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 usually blame game and accusations and if so what is your assessment of what was achieved at this summit. 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 of urgency so what he was saying is perhaps if full of that away from tackling climate change than ever before what fundamental needs to change well i think that on the one hand you see people in the streets you see the youth that were at the cop trying to push the from that side 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 would say that we've been you know we've had so many so much 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 and the fun 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 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 policymakers 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 that and listening to the island nations who in the trade 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 run police and anti-government protests have left dozens wounded in the lebanese capital beirut

the test is. the 2nd night despite a crackdown by security forces they want a new independent head of government not connected with established political bodies or who what started as a peaceful rally soon turned violence. was. riot police firing tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon to despairs the protesters. leaving dozens injured. i know we can 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.

that we should not over someone who can lead a transitional government and save levanon unphysical let me go we don't want anyone from the corrupt classes. but the reeling of the 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 nights until he returns to office there may be more nights like this on the streets of periods. of. news down from the world of sport genovese athletes of the year with named on sunday long jump like i'm a humble one the women's category the 25 year old claimed the award by a landslide after a successful season that culminated in gold at the was athletics championships and . germany's male athlete of the years another gold medal winner in doha 21 who will
