8:01 pm
a trillion euros to become carbon neutral in just 30 years that's a quarter of the e.u. budget last our correspondent and where the money's going to come from and when it's way low plunges deeper into crisis a year after the opposition trying to seize power is that it's not easy when your child thanks you for food. and you can't give them anything. it's very very difficult people in the country starving more than 4000000 have left but it's where you live so what happened to the opposition's promise to rescue the country from the ruins and the philippines bracing for a potentially devastating volcanic eruption nobody knows if they'll become now or in weeks leaving tens of thousands of people in limbo uncertain of what to do now that they've fled their homes.
8:02 pm
i'm burnt off it's good to have you with us tonight a new report on climate change showing that the world's oceans continued to heat up last year making them the hottest that they've ever been in the report says that process is still happening an international team of experts has examined data compiled by a chinese institute to work out changes in ocean temperatures over decades they say this warming is already having a major impact on marine life and on the severity of storms psych loans and hurricanes. as our planet warms up due to the greenhouse effect the vast majority of trapped heat is absorbed by the oceans over 90 percent of it the oceans therefore provide a key buffer that helps keep temperatures on our planet stable but their capacity to absorb heat isn't endless and eco systems are suffering organisms like corals
8:03 pm
that can't flee the higher temperatures simply die back to back bleaching and catastrophic mortality has meant we've lost 50 percent of all corals on the great barrier reef in 2 years and this is meant we've needed entirely new ways to think about how can we fast track both resilience and recovery according to the new study since 2010 the oceans have absorbed around 22860000000 joules of extra heat to compare that's over 400 times the energy used by the entire human race annually and warmer oceans are having another major impact on our planet's colder regions even a slight rise and water temperature causes glaciers to melt more rapidly from below and billions of tons of ice have already disappeared from the ice caps in a nutshell warmer ocean temperatures mean rising sea levels the minister marine biodiversity and more powerful storms. we're here in europe the european union is
8:04 pm
announcing plans to dedicate a quarter of its budget to tackling climate change the europe investment plan will direct a trillion euros over the next decade into climate protection the goal here is to make the e.u. carbon neutral within the next 30 years. this is what the united states moon landing looked like when it comes to climate protection the european commission is not shying away from drawing comparisons to that earth shattering event we do not have all the answers yet today is the start of a journey but this is europe's man on the moon moment a green deal for the european union is worse than a funded lion's 1st major policy proposal since she took office at the end of 2019 her vision commits the e.u. to achieving carbon neutrality by 2015 until then emissions of greenhouse gases
8:05 pm
would have to be reduced stored or compensated. the e.u. commission says it wants to mobilize a trillion euros from various sources over the next decade to make buildings more energy efficient and industry more environmentally friendly as regions all over europe transition away from coal. funded lyon urges the e.u. to move quickly and take the lead in growing a green economy. our let's take this story now to our correspondent max sander he is in strasbourg france tonight good evening to you mark so what will this green deal money what will it be spent on exactly what are the priorities here. so brett if the green deal is designed to slash carbon emissions and the just transition mechanism which has been which is being talked about book at the moment it's supposed to help countries transfer from a. not so environment environmentally friendly economy to
8:06 pm
a more greener economy and at the same time limit emissions but just to give you an example if you're a coal miner in germany or in in poland for example then you could receive training in rescaling funded by the just transition mechanism by the green deal to work in a more environmentally friendly field and not having to lose your job once your country stops getting working in coal and at the same time also as we heard in the report the buildings will be invested in to be more become more energy efficient and there will be some of the investments in electric mobility and the saying goes the budget given the budget taketh does this mean that other priorities in the european union budget will will suffer to make these funds available not necessarily we heard a large number one trillion euros that's 12 years to be 12 zeros to be exact but
8:07 pm
only $7500000000.00 euros will come from the e.u. budget that's the just transition fund and this money will be pulled from from from the e.u. budget and from come from there the m.f.f. and where exactly this is to say that's the long term e.u. budget and where exactly this will come from is not clear at the moment it could come from the social fund could come from from regional funds but the majority of the one trillion is going to come from private investments which the commission hopes to be able to leverage and these will be backed by the european investment bank and you were talking about this is if it's a done deal but there may be opponents he's likely to oppose this deal. well one thing politicians lawmakers have taken issue with across most party lines here is that the the money coming from from from the e.u. from the e.u. budget it's relatively small 7500000000 out of one trillion and
8:08 pm
a lot of the money that is planned within this this master plan is not it's not 100 percent sure yet and then another issue people are taking here is that some countries as in many you projects will receive less money out of out of this program than they pay any for example germany but that all aside and most groups in the georgia political groups here at the site of this is a very important deal and has to be done but they disagree on some of the technicalities or the correspondent walks around with the latest tonight on the european union's planned green deal max thank you. for in this brief you know and some of the other stories that are making headlines european countries have triggered what is known as the dispute mechanism of the iran nuclear deal in response to iran's breaches of the agreement e.u. foreign policy chief joseph roe who you see right there says that the aim is to
8:09 pm
bring tehran back into compliance but this could spell the end of the deal and a return to sanctions on iran iranian authorities say that they have arrested several people including the maker of this video in connection with the accidental downing of the ukrainian airlines flight over tehran last week 176 people were killed in the crash after a missile struck the jet iran's president says that a special court will be set up to probe the incident protesters in lebanon have watched what they are calling a week of anger to demand the country's leaders resign he set fire today to tires in beirut and blocked roads lebanon is facing its worst economic crisis in decades with the national currency losing more than 60 percent of its value protesters blame government mismanagement and corruption. well the german chancellor angela merkel has invited the 2 rival governments of libya as well as a host of other interested parties to talks in berlin this weekend now this is an
8:10 pm
attempt to rescue a peace deal and to shore up a shaky cease fire this just a day after the strongman khalifa haftar our left a peace conference in moscow without signing the peace deal that was already on the table. the talks were meant to bring an end to the conflict in libya and be a diplomatic victory for russia are in turkey but after general. left the talks in moscow without agreeing to a long term truce they appeared to end in failure. speaking to media a day after her with her russian foreign minister sergei lavrov played down the outcome saying the peace plan put forward by moscow in ankara was still a work in progress. representatives of libyan society met in moscow with the participation of the russian and turkish foreign and defense ministers we will continue our work on this track so far there has been no definitive outcome.
8:11 pm

8:12 pm
legitimate government will make. in the event that attacks against the country's legitimate government and our libyan brothers continue we will never refrain from giving hafter the lesson he deserves i did little me john. now the focus moves from moscow to billin german chancellor angela merkel has invited top officials from a host of countries to peace talks on sunday in the hope that this time around something might be different. when we focus on the western hemisphere's biggest humanitarian crisis that is the situation in venezuela people there are leaving the country in droves fleeing escape violence insecurity and threats as well as shortages of food medicine and essential services with more than 4600000 venezuelans now living abroad mostly in latin america and the caribbean this is the
8:13 pm
largest exit is that the region has seen in decades and by the end of this year the number is expected to reach 6 and a half 1000000 in a documentary that will premiere here on the w. tomorrow we look at the reasons behind venezuela's economic disaster here's a preview. hotter and has 7 children live in a slum on venezuela's caribbean coached the children do not go to school you know that cannot afford to pay the bus fare to get them there she has barely enough money to survive. if. my husband went to peru because of the crisis. where you are that he wanted to help us from there because that. honestly if he hadn't left we would have starved here. and they were only simply would have starved. that a sentimental one of them a look at the industrial city of mary kay reveals why locals are starving the factories here as everywhere in venezuela i read
8:14 pm
a standstill only 2000 of the original 12000 still operate venezuela produces hardly anything itself anymore including food the giant cattle farms are empty. been as well as our own products have been replaced with food imports highly subsidized by the state. the system worked well as long as petroleum prices were high but as soon as they fell they were food shortages so simply had more money printed to keep the system going the resulting hyperinflation was the final blow to venezuela's economy mela lives with the consequences every day the children really get enough to wait and you don't even. leave me for food that they understand when i tell them that i have nothing to give them their little swim and sometimes they cry it's not easy when your child bengtsson for food. and you can't give them anything. it's very very difficult. but.
8:15 pm
highly damaging system of state terra keeps the regime in power the collective paramilitary gangs on by the government intimidate the people through arbitrary rule and tara the president has also made the military compliant. little blissfully lucas maturer who installed his military friends and to keep positions in industry the man who heads the petroleum industry is a general. for a boy. he knows nothing about oil installed new people in all key industry positions they have no idea how to run an oil industry the. petroleum production has broken down because of this mismanagement it is now at the same level as it was in 1945 american chinese and russian political and security interests clash directly in venezuela without russia's help them
8:16 pm
a direct would have already collapsed. venezuela is just one piece in a global game of poker the losers in this game of people like maliki hata and tonight as. well if things didn't feel beautiful to me if i had the chance. i take my children and leave i mean just like that need to go out with a family if they could millions more people would flee venezuela just to survive. one day when he denied the big table by 2 key young who he is even his wailing filmmaker he directed the documentary that we're talking about tonight and he's not in venezuela he's here in berlin to see if he's going to have you on this show you share the stories of a lot of suffering in venezuela right now. the people that you talk to do they say they are aware of why they're suffering do they talk to you about who's responsible
8:17 pm
for the. some people do a lot of people are not even aware of what all the reasons are but the main reason most people will tell you and they're right is they say there's too much corruption and even very. simple people who maybe don't have access to much information they will give you that reason do you do they blame the you know the government of jiro do they blame the the same shoes been imposed by the international community so it depends who you ask again but i would say i've traveled a lot through venezuela and recent time doing this documentary and my previous works and i would say that the vast majority of venezuelans blame the madura government for what their their situation what about one going to the you know the opposition leader he's recognized by many countries around the world as the official leader of it it's where you would do the people you're talking to do they
8:18 pm
did they mention him do they think he should be in charge so we didn't go into that actually here with this documentary so we didn't want to make it so much about just this current political situation right now but more trying to understand what why are people displaced why are people leaving venezuela why has this become the biggest migrant crisis after syria in the world and probably even going to be bigger than syria by the end of this year if things don't change and so we wanted to go into the underlying causes and not so much just the specific moment so the causes you can trace back to several years before 2017 or 18 when the migrant crisis started and then the film we come to the conclusion and we are investigative work that the main reasons why the country is the way it is now is because of corruption and mismanagement which was previous to the sanctions it doesn't mean
8:19 pm
that the sanctions are can also be blamed for. what's going on now are or was going to happen in the future but not the reason why people started leaving in droves in 201718 the images we've seen just in the last year veer incredible to hard to believe because we knew that as well it is a rich country especially just look at the oil that it has and yet it's a place where people can't buy medicine that he can't even buy someplace can even buy toilet paper do you see that reality there and at the same time are you able to believe in a political solution that would end this crisis so the things have changed over time so there was a lot of scarcity for many years in venezuela the if because also find out economic policies that were put in place by the government so that there was scarcity and now the condom has changed because maduro has again legalized the dollar and legalized it taken away price controls and allowed again the private sector to to
8:20 pm
to bring merchandise into the country but now it's just the people who have access to dollars who can actually access those the products so it's become a very dichotomies society where there's those people who have relatives who have fled and send them dollars then they can buy things and those who actually have a job and get paid with a salary coke can buy anything with it right to the co director of this documentary which premieres tomorrow here on g.w. to you coming in tonight thank you thank you and you can watch the full documentary displaced venezuela right here on the w. on the w. documentary channel as well on youtube. germany's highest court is hearing a case brought by a group of journalists against the country's foreign intelligence service which is known as the b. in d. the plaintiffs say a new law allows the b. indeed to spy on journalists abroad almost without restrictions and to share the
