adjusted the hands of the symbolic clock to 100 seconds to midnight it's only the 2nd time the clock has ever been set this close to the disaster point 73 year history panel members list of nuclear weapons and the climate crisis as looming threats. so just how worried should be who would should we be to tell us more i'm joined here in the studio by d.w. reported jill dougherty jill tell us what exactly is this doomsday clock it does sound like something out of a disaster movie doesn't it actually is meant to reflect the stock reality however of the threat of manmade catastrophe it was unveiled 1st back in 1947 that was at the start of the cold war in the nuclear arms race and it's been adjusted ever since then the most relaxed point ever was at the end of the cold war in the early ninety's but in the last decade it has been advancing steadily forward towards that disaster point at midnight the decision on whether to move the hands of the clock

is made by a panel including scientists world leaders and nobel laureates we had a bit more about this panel of experts why all they say worried now the reason they're worried today are actually the same as back when the call was 1st unveiled namely nuclear weapons they say that the collapse of the nuclear iran nuclear deal as well as new weapons being developed by the u.s. and russia a cause for concern and they're also worried about things like killer robots but their main concern today is climate change and this comes after a year of record breaking heat waves droughts. floods and all while the countries of the world are failing to meet their commitments under the paris climate agreement to limit global heating as well as these threats the panel says that the world is also losing the ability to actually address any threats because of the breakdown of international relations and treaties well you know that's a pretty grim outlook was there any good news you have to forgive them it is their

job to be pessimistic but they did say that one thing that gives them heart is the rise of the climate activist movement led by gratitude berg however gratitude because so says she doesn't want to give people hope she wants to give them fear there are some people who say that the students they clock is a bit too pessimistic and alarmist and that people are going to stop paying attention if it's constantly moved forward but the panel members say that they haven't got any other choice they say how else can we wake people up it's time for world leaders to act and pull humanity back from the brink and we now have 100 symbolic seconds to do so all right plenty of food for thought that reporter jill dougherty thank you so much. well it looks as though time may also be running out for a mainstay of the city's nightclubs the german capital has always been known for its unique clubs but as the city becomes more appealing to international investors and property developers night clubs all feeling the pressure hundreds of people turned out to protest against the closure of one but. it's

1 30 in the morning at greece mill in berlin district one of the city's most popular techno clubs the parsee is just getting started on the line its side is growing and he screws degrees and it was known throughout europe and even the world many people come just for certain d.j.'s. we also have lots of regulars who live nearby and. live in courts but in the new. clubs lease runs i was at the end of january investors want to do something else with the former. industrial size and that means closing the venue more than $40000.00 people have signed a petition to save us several 100 turned out to protest the decline of berlin's nightlife. looks a dying out the city has lost about a 100 of them in the past 10 years but of course we're seeing a decline in the quality of clubs caused by

a growing city that's getting more expensive clubs in mitta that used to be of on guard now have to sew champagne and play lots of pop music to make money the list of clubs that have already closed or risk doing so is long the stories are often the same places that once hosted wild parties like the original tres or have been turned into shopping malls. not only is there an outcry from the music scene but other creatives have written an open letter to demand action. for them the early years that we had very diverse projects crowded out techno clubs alternative living spaces for the social cultural centers. thus the city's lifeblood is being drained start to make way for some boring office buildings instead groceries a good boat. the berlin city government is mediating between landlords and club
