leave or heading back to their belief in. god and then would definitely have the challenges of them as of now. friends and jones with world vision in china i thank you very much for. the world cut its daily carbon dioxide emissions by 17 percent at the peak of the pandemic shut down last month that's according to a new study lockdowns kept people at home and cities around the globe so roads were virtually empty and the skies clear up and they'd been in many ways for a week in april the united states cut its carbon dioxide levels by a full 3rd the study was published in the journal nature climate change world's biggest emitter china cut its carbon pollution by about a quarter. well that's very unclear in the literary she's a troll author of the study and professor of climate change science at the

university of east anglia she joins us now from norwich in the u.k. corinne what is the biggest single factor in this massive drop in c o 2 emissions but if you find it thanks thanks it's no road transport essentially people are not using their cars because people are confined at home so that's the single most driver of that drop what about and traffic air traffic was very very impacted by the confines and but overall in a normal year it only accounts for 3 percent of the global emissions so even a big change in air traffic just lead to a can percent. decrease it accounted only 10 percent of the total so it's really mostly our road transport a little bit of industry and then air traffic at the end so is this what it takes what we have to get used to serious climate lockdowns prolonged much longer than

we're seeing right now corona start to combat global warming. now now i mean this is not the way to combat global warming i mean it does show that when policies are put in place the emissions can drop but does drop is not going to last because it's not desirable because it's forced where we need in fact is investment in infrastructure so that we change the way that we move around to go all electric and rich change also the industry and that way we heat our homes so we need much more structural changes that are completely behavior change so not behavior change at all and that won't work. that was a professor of climate change science at the ucas university of east anglia speaking to us earlier now that's brief you on some of the other coronavirus developments global confirmed cases are project 5000000 and the death toll is more than 323000 brazil has confirmed the record rise in daily deaths from the disease

planned. this it was that although the demonstrations are obviously being used by extremists whether it's purposes we have to make sure that the right of demonstration is and can be exercised also in corona titles in court but we but as representatives of the state and the people you're protected powerful small you have to ensure that the extremists don't get the upper hand or simply call them. and the pro-democracy group of protesters. to ensure that they don't become puppets on the string to engage him to prefer to groom so often the sunni misspelt. spring and melinda crowd she is political correspondent what exactly is the interior minister planning to do now well we don't know that yet yet the committee said at the end of its meeting today that it will present a catalogue of concrete measures in october's measures that it would hope would

then become law or become port part of security agencies official enforcement protocols we certainly know that it's going to cost money the interior minister said during the meeting that this definitely would require additional funding and we also know what it is that victims organizations would like to see they say far too little is known about the right wing seen including those who are now inciting some of these demonstrations against the corona restrictions and they also call for much stronger measures to deal with hate online meaning also measures to make it a punishable offense to publish a list of enemies and such now that german parliament the bundestag actually has a package that it is currently debating that would do exactly some of these things so one challenge for the new committee will be coordinating with the legislature so

what exactly is the purpose of this new government committee or do we know who's going to be on it. well it's a reaction to the fact that within the last year we have seen not just that attack and how no that you mentioned but a whole string of serious crimes by the right wing that included the murder of a local official that included the attack on a synagogue in holland and then that that attack in in eastern germany so basically far too little is known about what is about the right wing scene as i said and then in addition the government is often said not to really have a comprehensive strategy for dealing with this in fact it has been said for quite some time now the german security authorities tend to be quote unquote blind in the right meaning they tend to focus more on dangers from the left than the right so the german justice minister said today this is now putting right wing extremism
