before the pandemic we got used to the sights of thousands of school children around the world skipping school on fridays to demand didn't action on climate change and covert happened well today. to follow us around the world are back and they're socially distant but the message is still the same but how much difference has friday's future actually made i feel gail in back then and this is the day. we have right now. every day. and we're here to support school strike the climate action because we really feel that their future is on the line here. so busy with if you didn't

listen to defacing comparative slogans to their slave you could read the words again if you don't want to. click on a car park and that's not the fun part that one takes place at the right. also on the day of the race to create the 1st coronavirus vaccine but it's the search for a cure the only motivation. part of russia's strategic interests to always want to be 1st irrespective of whether it's a revolution or the 1st flight into space now it's about saying that we're the 1st to develop a vaccine. welcome to the day. well the

fridays for future climate protests are back for the 1st time since the pandemic back in march the rallies calling for urgent government action on climate policy went on line when the pandemic began today more than 3000 climate strike events took place all over the world. bad weather and social distancing rules couldn't keep them away the fridays for future protests are back thousands of people in berlin and all over germany urge the government to do more to combat climate change young and old came and along with their signs they brought the mandatory masks. people told me they were happy to finally be able to go back to the streets to protest thinking that during the coronavirus pandemic the issue of climate change had been forgotten their main goal for the protests is to push the german government and the european governments to respect the $1.00 degree limit to the rising global temperatures that was set by the paris climate agreement more than

$3000.00 rallies were registered worldwide mostly small gatherings due to the pandemic and stockholm greater tune back who started the school strike for climate over 2 years ago was among the protesters. before the pandemic millions used to march every friday like here in the belgian capital now protesters had to be more creative here in brothels crime and protest is what you said a lot on those regions of the world is not that we're already affected by climate say it's here behind me you can see video messages from climate protesters from all around the world villages so that climate science is a global problem and that the climate movement is that global brands like you in the movement that made people protest on this friday here in nairobi kenya. and more than 10000 kilometers away brought activists to the streets of mexico city . for

a government that they can number of largescale projects. my chin not to read as adults. thread busy young people want to draw attention to thank you train connection that will lead right through the jungle protesters fight for their beaches chloral reefs and the overall biodiversity in mexico the coronavirus put a pause in the protest but it did have some positive impact to the cove in the 1000 pandemic has see the factories periodic lease suspend operations resulting in a reduction in c o 2 emissions in cleaner air but activists argue the world will eventually need to shift to permanently changing its behavior in order to bring global temperatures down. to permanent change that is what activists all over the world are demanding. let's take a closer look at this with. professor of environment and climate policy at munich's

a technical university and welcome to you it's often said and we heard in the report that governments are not treating the climate crisis as a plot as a crisis is that true. well i think i think it's true in that we've seen the governments around the world being rather slow in the development of climate policies but something that we're also seen recently is that the. mr future movements and very. impact was more and more governments around the world starting to take action and developing climate laws and now seeing climate emergencies. and so the european level the announcements of the green deal which has been a climate neutrality goal for mid century these are these are important changes and although price for a future movement may not be the only reason these things are happening that

certainly played a role. in as much as what made that they've brought it to their highlighted it as a as a as an e.c. vote for governments you know that their. future managed to do is to wake up the media and get the media to really pay attention to an issue that's been around for a long time and i think they've been able to do it because we're not used to seeing hundreds of thousands or 14 and 15 year olds out on the streets politically active basically willing to speak directly to politicians and just to that i guess level of politics and basically say you are ignoring us you're forgetting us it's our future we need to be need action we need to. your lack of action or their futures and in it has appeal it's more sleep care of the young people and i think by getting out on the streets and by demanding change know the reason why.

they've had impact they've been able to motivate other young people and the didn't bands for change and they are being listened to ok so so we have the fight is for futures movement doing those things that you just outlined there but we also have that the more militant environmental campaigners like extinction rebellion to their activists antics and change the minds of governments all over otis as well just annoy people. and i think that what we've seen with at the extinction. act. also the media attention pretty early on and i'm not so sure that having violence is really the right approach i don't think it's the right approach but i'm calling attention to just how serious this climate crisis is what we've been hearing for

far too long is yes we're taking action but that action is been very slow it's been incremental and that is something that really is not sufficient it's not sufficient for. the pace at which climate change is happening we really need to have a face out of fossil fuels we need to have a switch to renewable energy we need to build our cities differently i'm not only. forgive me for interrupting i want to give them to sort of get coded into it's because we've seen the vast amounts of money that industrialized countries have poured into saving their economies from covering. all they likely to backslide on their climate commitments as a result of this ordo perhaps use this as an opportunity to embrace a green a future which way they're likely to go. i like to think positive so i'll

say they're likely to at least put some of the investment money that needs to be happening to get economy's going again in the direction of what the right is your future group is calling for the energy transition the transport transition we just saw china announced that they're looking for it's a 2060 target for climate neutrality california with the big fires just announced and they are speeding up their call for transition of the automobile sector you know our gasoline fired automobiles that are 2035 and so i think i think things are going to change but of course we do have to. wear the behavior that technical difficulties have ahead of florida say in the end but professor marandi show us from munich certainly when university thank you so much for joining us and apologise for some of the got technical sound quality.

the european commission will challenge a ruling that the tech company aapl does not to have to pay a bill of $30000000000.00 euros in back taxes to ireland. court decided apple had not broken any rules on tax and that it was not the recipient of illegal state aid from the irish government the commission alleges i haven't lived nearly all the bits of irish head office that existed only on paper by avoiding a paid tax on e.u. revenues or on the irish government did not require. sums of it tangles of weirdos need to keep the focus of a d w business explain well welcome to tell us what you see is the commission go to appeal or basically feel the european commission is fed up with multinationals paying so little talks and it sees us very much as

a homegrown problem under the current arrangements in europe every country decides for themselves what their corporation tax rate is arlin's is famously low at 12 and a half percent and just to put that into context here in germany it's 30 percent on even in the us it's 22 percent this particular case though isn't actually about 12 and a half percent corporate tax rate is about something else it's about how arland an awful came to a very specific arrangement and there's 2 sides to this i'm going to try and explain it simply as i can the 1st house to do with intellectual property licensing and the other has to do with phantom capital so back in 2014 apple and arland came together and it was agreed that apple would move most of its intellectual property ownership to arland what that means is that if you buy an i phone in china. company the subsidiary in china has to pay the irish company intellectual property service fees that can be a substantial amount of money doesn't disclose how much and you think ok this means

they'll have to pay $12.00 and a half percent tax on this favorable maybe the european commission is not modified it but still within the realms of the respectability but that's not in fact what's happening so what awful has done is come to a very particular arrangement with the irish government whereby it says that those profits made are actually managed to elsewhere in a company that does not actually have a fixed abode and because of the us the irish government alive it's awful to diverse its profits and the tax paid to a company that doesn't actually exist anywhere in particular and that's what led the european commission to conclude that opera has in effect only been paying about one per cent rocks in our land when in fact you're talking about about millions perhaps even billions going from apple somewhere out there. who are on the outs again somewhere out there exactly 13000000000 to. it seems extraordinary that the irish government doesn't want 13000000000 euros why well to put it simply because

it thinks its relationship with awful and its reputation as a destination for tech investment is worth more than 30000000 euros and you can see why when you look at it from our lives perspective it's a small country it doesn't have much industry of its own to both of these tech companies are hugely valuable to the company that to the country they provide prizes of jobs so there's not too much in it for our land to go tough at this point no the person leading the charge from the commission this is mounted it's a vest. and she's got form when it comes to going off to u.s. multinationals she certainly does there's not many on detroit's regulators of our household names but she is and she's tough she had no fear at all about going out and going after these companies so she's in $2617.00. the european commission fined google 2700000000 euros for and favoring its own services in its search engine it's also going after and looking into how it treats 3rd party sellers on its platform

so it really you really have to say that she's she's tough on this and she's determined to get her way so this latest court ruling that the commission says it will appeal so when are we going to get there and when will this all be over well this could take years and i think in the meantime debate about corporation tax sovereignty is going to continue to rage in the european union ok meanwhile that 13000000000 euros just sits out there pressing it in cyberspace all right kate ferguson from did every business bank you. know next story has the ravings of a brown thriller catholic cardinals fighting over huge amounts of money a pope brought in to clean up the stench of corruption allegations of child abuse financial corruption court cases and overturned guilty verdict today's episode

concerns one cardinal angelo a bench you who resigned unexpectedly on thursday on friday he told the press the pope told him to go because of allegations of embezzling pieces the charges relate 210-0000 euros that he gave to a charitable organization run by his brother the money is actually still in the church's bank but questions are also being asked about a 200000000 euro london property investment and again the way the cardinal tells it this all came as a bolt out of the blue to get each are going to cause a tsunami on the year it was a surreal feeling because until 6 o'clock yesterday evening i felt as a friend of the pope. a faithful servant of the part. and each of them in the pipe told me i no longer have trustingly may have been kid even. that was because he had received

a report from the magistrates that i had committed embezzle meant. they could not so what is going on at the vatican and who is bad sure anyway you know he was a religious a fast correspondent of mottainai god cannot talk us through the shenanigans welcome botton let's start with today's the main character cardinal angelo batu who is a sober jews have very very high ranking figure certainly not a household name even for those that follow church politics but he's somebody that was in the department of state of the vatican under benedict and then under friends is. he's a b. if you're that actually held an enormous amount of power he was sexually the 2nd in line to better lean who is actually essentially department of state or. essentially that the person directly underneath the pope souci had unfettered access to the

vote. to both popes actually he was in charge for a very long time with managing entire ambassadorial bodies about it buddy of there i think and he also was eventually moved to the office. essentially proposes saints for going to nice asian and he's somebody that had a huge huge footprint on the vatican korea so that he's essentially the civil servants. that move. this or the tick in the vatican ok so he was a big deal so how will unusual is it for such a senior a cardinal or a cardinal is told to me effectively get fired and then to bacha the pope about why he had to go. it's very very unusual i mean so the 1st thing to be said you know the way that the vatican percent. bit you had presented his resignation cardinal said that state of their career do not present

a risk nations these just doesn't happen that essentially you know the very coronation of the entire the entire century. really just lived for a couple of 3 now furthermore this is not just a cardinal this was a cardinal the very top of the power structure of the vatican so that he's actually extremely unusual but it's also quite a few for me some that we all usually hear from the vatican. rather surprising that you know almost a day after the game out she went out to the breast you essentially say that he indeed had been fired and you know he clearly takes takes issue with the way it was done and with the accusations that were leveled now if i were a conspiracy theorist i'd be looking for a link between today's resignation of cardinal bad sure who was in charge of lodge amounts of vatican money the pope's mission to clean up vatican finances and the

australian cardinal george pell who resigned not so long ago because of child abuse charges of which he was cleared can you draw us a line between. i ken it's not a terribly complex one essentially comes down a lot of it comes down to financial reforms within the vatican make sure somebody that has been associated he's name has been you know said and whispered around different forms of receipts tends to financial reform inside the vatican and in relation to the vatican bank when they're looking into a supposing to buy these folks. to reorganize the financial structure east understood every d.c. often said that bit too was one of the main opponents of bedlam as a matter of fact something that was even reported by the new york times today. at

that big who was named as one of the people that bush to have bill essentially sent back to australia to face justice so it is very very much the case that what we're seeing especially when we saw belle reacted a to to the sighting of bit you celebrating essentially and congratulating the pope for the move which that itself it's very unusual this is something that sort of was done showing again i think the lines in the lines in the sand inside but in politics so you don't need a great conspiratorial story here you just need to sort of follow follow the money as they like to say and a lot of the stories have to deal with these 2 figures of power ok top what we actually need is a skit a hollywood screenwriter i believe it says that religious affairs are correspondent martin jack. we're going to.

of america the russian capital last go has ordered elderly people to stay at home and advised employers to allow as much working from home as possible to help combat a new surge in corona virus cases russia has recorded more than a 1000000 infections more than 20000 deaths this is happening even though russia claims to have created the world's 1st approved coronavirus vaccine sputnik 5 which is still undergoing clinical trials. he washing his hands multiple times a day just one of a series of hygiene measures semin godparent undertakes the doctor doesn't want to take any chances with corona virus but he knows a vaccine would offer the best protection against covert 19 that's why he's volunteered to take part in testing a new russian one. someone has to do it. without clinical trials there are no medicines in the effectiveness of his vaccine can only

be evaluated in the 3rd phase of clinical trials. the stage 3 trials began 3 weeks ago but the vaccine which has been named sputnik 5 was already licensed in august before they began and mass inoculation in russia is planned for later this year something numerous experts have sharply criticized the russian government has rejected the criticism it says the vaccine has been developed from already known substances and doesn't pose any health risks rush urgently needs an effective vaccine the country currently has the 4th highest number of corona virus cases worldwide and the numbers continue to rise with around $6000.00 new infections each day. gallup parents and other doctors say they're not worried about the vaccine safety. after all the vaccine has already been tested on several well known

public people and they're doing well. these public figures include russian defense minister says a short moscow mayor. and one of president vladimir putin's daughters potent p.r. material. it's part of russia's strategic interests to always want to be 1st irrespective of whether it's a revolution or the 1st flight into space now it's about saying that we're the 1st to develop a vaccine internally we're showing that the situation is under control. it's a signal that russia is still mastering its role as the savior of the world. isn't thinking about his country's p.r. plans just now the doctor is here because he's hoping to help win the fight against the corona virus pandemic. people are tired of cup with the

they want it to be over the new vaccine can help calm people and offer a way out of the situation but. it will most likely be at least several months until the results of the phase 3 trials are known only then can the actual effectiveness and safety of russia's sputnik 5 vaccine be assessed. and not whilst the day as ever they comes asian continues online you'll find us on twitter at d w news i leave you now with images and music from the lying and states of the night the u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg at the capitol in washington d.c. the 1st woman and the 1st jewish person to receive a song of. the
