biala guest. managed by for. this is g.w. news live from the berlin tonight europe announcing a green deal for the future of the plan spend a trillion euros to stop using coal to become carbon neutral in 30 years that's a quarter of europe's total budget will ask our correspondent what that money will be spent also coming out germany leading a new effort to halt the fighting in libya the chancellor angela merkel inviting

key players to another peace conference it comes after libyan military commander refused to sign a cease fire agreement during talks in moscow by russia and turkey. i'm burned off it's good to have you with us the european union has announced plans to dedicate a quarter of its overall budget to tackle climate change the europe investment plan will direct a trillion euros over the next decade into climate protection the go to reach carbon neutrality across the entire continent 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 group 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 we're still a funnel lions 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 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. fund a lion urges the e.u. to move quickly and take the lead in growing a green economy. are let's take this story now to our correspondent mark zonder he

is in strasbourg france tonight going to going to new marks 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 at the moment is supposed to help countries transfer from a. not so environment environmentally friendly economy to a more greener economy and at the same time limit emissions so 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 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 give us the budget take it 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 only 7500000000 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 after 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 a 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 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 most groups in the georgia political groups here decide that this is a very important deal and has to be done but they disagree on some of the technicalities or the correspondent wants to with the latest tonight on the

european union's plan green deal marks thank you. germany's chancellor angela merkel has invited the 2 rival governments of libya as well as their generals and other countries supporting them to talks in berlin this coming weekend it's an attempt to rescue a peace deal and to shore up a very shaky cease fire and it comes a day after the war lord khalifa haftar are left a peace conference in moscow without signing the peace deal that was reportedly already on the take. the talks will meant to bring an end to the conflict in libya and be a diplomatic victory for russia and turkey. but after general. left the talks in moscow without agreeing to a long term truce they appeared to end in failure speaking to meteor a day off to hell with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov played down the

outcome saying the peace plan put forward by moscow in akra 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. libya has seen heavy fighting for months the country's internationally recognized administration the government of national accord led by fires sarkar raj is based in tripoli it's facing a power challenge from general have todd's rival administration based in the east of the country and the city of tal broke. after forces calling themselves the libyan national army are reportedly being assisted by russia and regional allies egypt saudi arabia and the u.a.e. . meanwhile ankara along with the united nations is backing tripoli's government of national accord. earlier this month turkey's parliament gave president reject type

most intrusive public monitoring system that the world has ever known and the people at human rights watch they can talk about that now with a lot of credit bill what they were going to talk about then i'm joined here at the big table tonight by the men from human rights watch german even some accounts because it's good to see you again you know we had your boss the executive director last night kenneth roth on the show here talking about he wanted to release this report yesterday in hong kong but he was refused entry into the country or into the territory on sunday were you surprised to see china or the authorities in hong kong say no you can't come into the territory. we knew it was a risk because of china squashing off free speech and. any criticism about china and on china and but i mean it was also

a proof of what we are saying that china is not tolerating any questions so with throwing us out or not letting us into hong kong actually punished the ones who was treated sizing the oppression of the chinese government its sins the message that china not only wants to silence the message it's also willing to keep the messenger silent or out of the picture absolutely and we see this increasingly and that's probably also why we published the report with a focus on time. this is yeah it's because china's human rights violations spreading now globally we have seen your rights violations within china for many years and becoming worse and worse that increasingly the reach of the chinese government to silence its critics is also globally it's reaching out abroad

to other countries students chinese students in australia for example universities they are being punished by criticising china it's like a contagion isn't it the more power the more influence china has globally then the higher the likelihood is that people will think twice before you know speak their mind or they do things that we would consider part of basic human rights absolutely i mean china 16 percent of the world economy so they have a lot of power a lot of power to pressure other countries to stay numb that's why we call on states governments to bat up together those who dare to speak out because if one country does it it's very hot to to keep this going so we need to see teens of countries to speak out against the bully china reporting on this report is part of

that effort but you know we know you and i both know that china does not allow w. news to be shown to be broadcast within china so the chinese people they don't see us so at the end of the day you have to ask can this report really change anything in john. well we think so because this report is calling on the countries to stand up against the big bully china and we want to motivate and we want to encourage the countries to stand up for the rights of the people those countries who still think it's worth fighting for human rights in some accounts and the director of human rights watch germany even so we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight thank you. and here's a reminder of our top story europe announcing its green deal for the future of the plan to spend a trillion euros to stop using coal and to become carbon neutral in 30 years that is a quarter of europe's total budget you're watching the w.
