hectares of land far more than they ever dreamed of when they started out as teenagers. children to come to it's. one giant problem and when you're in no mood to see your you. being denied even a needle features including a fully coffee heat. how will climate change affect us and our children. g.w. dot com slash water. cold palace stations are responsible for a 3rd of global c o 2 emissions they also produce a huge amount of dust and ash which pollute the ass and the soil. almost 2500 coal palace stations

a year by least 2035 the coal is imported from australia south africa and indonesia by 3 companies. and. heading east into the interior the trains pass through in a forested area rich in biodiversity international studies have shown that up to one percent of coal is lost for each 500 kilometers of transit that's at least 300 kilograms per wagon and there are 3 trains with more than 50 wagons per hour. yes shows us where a 2nd set of tracks is to be built so that more coal can be transported she says houses here are solid by the dust many of also sustained damage because the ground shakes when the trains go by they now face demolition she tries to reach out to older people in the area. many feel trapped and helpless. after the call as we have. a lot of pollution. sometimes

i like old music and i really like brazilian music and. i imagine young people's lives to be at least partly very good but they probably have less contact with nature than i do i want to talk more. about the name besides the coronavirus pandemic and stopping it spreading i think protecting the environment and problems of deforestation and soy farming are the biggest challenges. social so many trees get cut down because of soil farming in order to feed cattle but he meant that i mean what i know. but i mean i think the older generation had a nicer childhood there wasn't so much stress and pressure like there is for our generation today.

cut. this is live from the big question from the european union where vaccine and goes growing over the delay of millions of preordered dozers of the covert 1000 vaccine from drug maker astra zeneca what's behind the delay and how will it affect those most vulnerable to the coronavirus also coming up germany considers drastic cuts in air travel from abroad even cutting all tourism from the rest of the winter this comes as coronavirus mutations keep the infection rate high

. and a 2nd night of clashes in lebanon was covered 19 deaths soaring and the economy in crisis protesters say a strict lockdown is driving them into poverty. i'm told me a lot of well welcome to the program the european union is demanding answers over the millions of undelivered dozers of corona virus vaccine that it ordered drug maker astra zeneca blames last minute supply chain issues for the delay but with all $27.00 countries facing heat for a lagging vaccine rollout politicians are openly questioning whether astra zeneca is telling the truth and whether vaccines produced within the e.u. are going to hire bidders outside the block. talks and more talks have done little

to less than anger at astra zeneca european officials say the firm has failed to adequately explain why it was slashing its spec scene deliveries to the e.u. . europe invested billions to help develop the world's 1st. to create a truly global common good and now the companies must deliver. they must honor their obligations. astra zeneca has delivery cuts for the latest setback to e.u. plans to vaccinate 70 percent of adults by summer earlier this month fines are said it would temporarily reduce its deliveries to the e.u. was well citing production issues. but u.k. health officials say they expect to have enough supply to meet the country's vaccination targets that reality is fuelling tensions already that. i think the thing to do now is not to. go down the sort of the dead end of

the nationalism it's to work together to make sure that we protect our people that's my priority is to protect the british people to protect the united kingdom but also to protect the whole world is no one is safe from tools that. divisions over how to fairly distributed vaccines will likely persist in the near term south africa's president lashed out at wealthy countries accusing them of buying up the global vaccine supply. now rich countries in the world don't need vaccines and we are saying these x. box that you have you have already and hoarders south africa still needs to secure 14000000 more doses to accomplish its vaccination goal by contrast the e.u. u.k. and the u.s. have signed contracts with drug makers to acquire more than $200.00 times that

amount. germany's biggest newspaper is reporting that the government here is considering additional radical steps to slow the spread of covert 19 the mass market paper billed says plans have been drawn up to cut international air traffic to germany to near 0 the arrival of new more infectious variants of the virus in the country is fuelling concerns at a time when the rollout of. vaccine is slower than expected germany has recorded over 2000000 coronavirus cases the start of the pandemic and all of 52000 deaths. from political correspondent jared rid. this. we're hearing of these new considerations what more do we know about them well this is sort of part of a big trend here in germany the good news is that average in fiction rights in germany are on the decline and that's the that's the good news of course it's worse

in some areas than it is in others but the infection numbers are still much too high on top of that we have the threat of these mutations these variants of covert 19 particularly the british variants that originate in the u.k. we're starting to see more and more cases of these the warre among health officials is that this particular variant is going to gain a stronghold here in germany become the dominant strain they don't want that to happen so what's been the discussion among e.u. countries in the last week or 2 is how to prevent these strains particularly the british one from spreading not only in their own countries but across the continent of europe and one thing up for discussion here in germany is how to restrict travel basically so according to this report that would involve reducing the number of flights into germany to almost 0 increasing the number of border chicks and closures and certainly. wants to stop all kind of tourism related travel in its

tracks we have to keep in mind though in a country like germany when we talk about travel restrictions it's not something that's taken lightly it wasn't so long ago that people in the former east germany were largely prevented from traveling and so doing something like that again even if it's a temporary measure it's still an emotional and a sensitive issue but i have to stress. these reports are just reports nothing has been decided just yet and how is the country coping with the pandemic well at the moment has described it as kind of a mixed picture because the infection rights are on the decline but we're still having a lot of people dying every day the numbers sort of hover around the thousands we have these very mixed picture on top of that the threat of the variance as as i said so that's why restrictions were extended until the 14th is basically freezes large parts of public life until then but we have to keep in mind the 14th isn't so

far away so the question is well what's going to happen after that authorities are saying at the moment it's still too early given everything i've said to talk about easing restrictions so it seems like what we are living with at the moment could carry on for some time years and not just carry on but these restrictions could be even tights and further as this. plan suggests how are people taking this look by and large the public appetite for restrictions has been pretty good it's been consistently high fall for some months now a poll i looked at last week showed that just over half what they were just right around the 3rd wanted them to go tough but there is a definite fatigue happening these restrictions are tough on a lot of people they're tough on small business owners they're tough on parents who've got to work from home have got to teach their kids at the same time what we've heard from german leaders repeatedly is an appeal for patience i guess the

worry is that the patients could with some time soon we'll see how that progresses in the near future. thank you. hundreds of protesters have clashed with security forces for a 2nd day in lebanon including the capital beirut on the 2nd largest city tripoli as as the country's the past its daily death walk from covert 19 people took to the streets against the worsening economic conditions and a strict coronavirus lockdown that they say is driving them into poverty. they are angry and desperate asco with 19 cases are soaring protesters took to the streets for 2nd night hundreds of mostly young men clashed with police there were dozens of injuries many here feel they have now reached their breaking point.

the pain of the people has driven them to the streets. after today with nothing changed we want to overthrow the system from head to toe what we see today is the pain of the people and what you saw is our pain. and poverty. more than 2 and a half 1000 lebanese have died from the virus and the government has imposed one of the strictest lockdowns in the world including around the clock curfew. but many are being pushed into poverty. there's no stability the dignity of the people was the red line what we see for a 2nd day in tripoli is the result of a very hard reality without any plans to feed the people that taxi driver earns just over $10.00 how can we tell him to stay home when he can't afford to buy bread for his family. dependent make has hit with the country already experiencing at di

economic crisis. between close have brought lebanon's health care system to its knees and now many of its people into a state of rage and desperation. or. let's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the netherlands is seeing a 4th consecutive nights of protest against coronavirus lockdown measures well the latest incidents are more isolated than in. the country's 1st curfew since world war 2 came into info came into effect on saturday as a precaution against the new virus strain from the u.k. that's despite weeks of falling infections. u.s. president joe biden and russian president vladimir putin have reached a deal to extend the new start nuclear arms control treaty the treaty was supposed to expire early next month it limits the nuclear weapons washington and moscow can
