11 to scuttle. 11. live subscribe to a documentary on. after donald trump walked away from the paris clara's agreement joe biden has not only brought the u.s. back into that particular gate but this week he also unveiled i'm bishes new climate targets pledging to cut u.s. carbon emissions to hoffer 2005 levels over the next decade but that still leaves us well short of the paris climate goals so there's any talk really matter i'm phil gale in berlin and this is the day.
10:31 pm
this is a work together to address a clear economy. for their shoes we have decided and all danish and gas production in the north. already. know very. well. about $24.00 of those 4 years. is burning. we're going to make these commitments real. also on the day as europe on the united states began to talk of a pandemic free summer india's covert crisis surges to record highs the situation in india is a device stating
10:32 pm
a reminder of what this virus can do and why we must marshal every tool against it. welcome to the day this week u.s. president joe biden hosted a virtual global climate summit of more than 40 world leaders many of them joined president biden in announcing ambitious new carbon reduction goals the u.s. president ended the today meeting by describing the global climate crisis as an opportunity to remake the world's economy and produce millions of jobs in clean energy and technology. this is a moment for all of us to build better economies for our children our grandchildren and all of us to thrive to thrive and not just now but beyond for the next generations nations that work together to invest in a cleaner economy will reap rewards for their ship is the united states is
10:33 pm
committed we are committed to making those investments to grow our economy here at home while connecting with markets around the world will lose the woods what chance is it that those will become deeds rachel cletus is a policy director with the climates and energy program the union of concerned scientists she joins us from cambridge massachusetts in the united states welcome to the w. this has been a week of headline grabbing climate commitments we have the us talking about how the greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels britain 78 percent reductions from 9090 levels by 2035 and the e.u. talking about reducing net emissions to at least 55 percent of $990.00 levels by the end of the decade so as the question therefore becomes is all of this virtue signalling or is it actually achievable. it's absolutely
10:34 pm
achievable and this requires one of those moments of real hope. to recognize that the major contributor to heat trapping emissions the united states which is the historical largest contributor is finally stepping up to its responsibilities this 50 to 52 percent commitment below 2500 miles by 2030 is really a sign of serious intention from the but by the administration now of course the proof is in the pudding we will have to see countries go back home and actually implement the policies that will deliver on the commitments that they've made but today and this week was a real moment of hope and encouragement we finally have an administration that's going to center of science and their response to the climate crisis is one of the most pressing challenges that the world faces today and yes it is also a moment of opportunity to make sure that the economy the new crime and climate resilient economy we're building actually works for people all around the world
10:35 pm
does not leave people on the sidelines marginalized facing these terrible climate impacts but don't these new commitments still leave us behind the paris targets for all of the glorious tall. there's no question that we have a big emissions gap and this is been pointed out again and again maybe you and the ruled global emissions trajectories far from where it needs to be what we heard this week helps bend that curve in an appreciable rate but we're still not on the reenter baron's agreement aligned guth the u.s. has to do more other rich countries have to do more in line for times in global equity but this is a crucial crucial and very significant 1st step to reheard announced this week let's have more from u.s. president joe biden hit talking about an issue that politicians around the world have struggled with as they try to sell the public on the idea of going green this challenge and these opportunities are going to be met by working people in every
10:36 pm
nation as we transition to a clean energy future we must ensure that workers who have thrived in yesterday's and today's industries have as brighter tomorrow in the new industries as well as in the places where they live in the communities they have built so rachel cletus here we have a tangible clear problem we the people who are sacked from factories and mines as they get close down they're not going to be the same people who get the shiny new green jobs. to make this real we have to invest in supply job training and a fair transition who are careers and group communities no question about it that's the bedrock on which we can build a foundation for a clean energy economy these jobs are there for to make them real to make them fair to make them accessible to communities all around the u.s.
10:37 pm
we have to implement in there but policies and it's important that the binder ministration understands that community they're not talking about magic jobs that are just going to appear they're really talking about making investments up front right now in infrastructure in job training all over the country in rural america in herman areas to make this real and accessible to workers but so it's not just a problem for joe biden is it for you forgive me for interrupting we get about this is not just a problem for job i this is a problem thoughtfully it is a the world nobody believes that a 5558 year old. is going to lose his job and then gets a take out all get retrained in some sort of a green technology nobody believes that will happen. that is not what's being talked about here still in fact what's being talked about is making sure that people who are to reach the end of their careers make sure that they have their jobs and retirement benefits right now we have cool companies in the u.s.
10:38 pm
that are going out of business declaring bankruptcy and walking away from retirement and that's the status quo is not working so we need to invest in making sure that those companies those fossil fuel companies are respecting their obligations to workers we also have to diversify the economy and this isn't just about creating one you know through the other this is about investing in the supply chains the training the education everywhere in the country to build that foundation and the will to make investments upfront in this administration is committed to doing that i think that's really important both here in the u.s. and around the world but the reason that we have to do this is because the climate crisis is also affecting us here and billions of dollars around the world people are losing their lives right now because climate crisis g.'s is the thing with us this is the direct we have been united states because you're talking about a country that's a bet has got used to good driving gas guzzling s.u.v.s. a country other who
10:39 pm
thinks it's a god given right to pipe pennies for gas cars that great american public got itself ready for the idea of it but all that's going to cost them more unveiling needs to do things differently because it doesn't look as though the public is ready for that message yet. so the american public is not among them the reality is just like around the world there is an elite rich section of the population that has an outsized common for print many people in the us and poorer communities often communities of color have a very small common quit brand they are not the people who are going to have to sacrifice you know the need to see their future economic opportunities and the environmental justice is actually addressed as be built this clean economy if the people who have the luxury emissions who and yes do need to give those out so that
10:40 pm
our future for the future generations can be safeguarded this is not about sacrifice from people who are on the edge of poverty this is about sacrifice from an elite that really has no injury missions at this point thank you so much for joining us i'm so that's very clear rachel do you think from the meaning you have concerned scientists well as world leaders discuss how to make a better economy is more sustainable many places in the world are already experiencing that changed the u.s. state of texas still pumps huge amounts of oil and gas but some texans have already found profitable alternatives to fossil fuels. some things never change in west texas on the brooks ranch cowboy still drive bulls on horseback but the western scenery is changing these days cattle herds graze under the blades of wind turbines . and didn't really law you know. and then i. found out you know. general.
10:41 pm
there are beautiful. the bricks family run a property the size of manhattan to guarantee income during a drought they leased land to energy companies a dozen oil pumps stand on the ranch along with $78.00 wind power generators the noise of the turning turbines makes louis brooks think of one thing and it's not the environment. the wind turbine welcomes visitors to the town of sweet water the 11000 residents were hit hard by droughts and tumbling oil prices sweet water was on its way to becoming a ghost town before the wind energy barium changed its fortunes. wetzel as a lawyer for gas oil and now renewable energy has seen how the growth of wind power has brought jobs and tax dollars to the town. to transform the everything so the
10:42 pm
property tax here was only $435.00. it is now 3. today a quarter of the u.s. wind energy comes from texas but natural gas and oil are also booming again some fear president joe biden's plan to clean energy transition could trigger a culture war new versus old energy. dale rankin is a businessman in the fracking sector who doesn't believe in climate change political movement. it's about having the ability to control population by. regulating the population through saving the planet feel good. regulation. stopping climate change isn't a common cause in texas and yet thousands of turbines are turning here driven by the power of profits. still to come on the day of thousands of afghans risk their

lives to reach europe through turkey many never make it we have a d w special report. these name is the grave seem like memorials a warning of the fate that looms on this dangerous journey and yet only a few are discouraged by the risk. averse will take a look at the global battle against covert 90 and its a patchwork of progress and setbacks and europe in the united states confidence is growing as vaccine programs gather pace at the same time india's health emergency has hit record levels friday saw the country record the world's highest ever daily count of new cases as more than 330000 or 24 hours the health system is buckling under these numbers covert patients are struggling to get i.c.u. bads a drugs and treatment and medical oxygen is running low as hospitals issue urgent
10:44 pm
appeals for supplies this catastrophe has many causes more infectious viral variant super spreader events like election rallies and religious festivals and complacency and no where are the results more evident than in india's burial grounds and crime a tory. the funeral pyres are burning nonstop in delhi as the city grapples with the coronavirus. crime atory are working around the clock at 100 percent capacity. and makeshift facilities have been set up in places like door car parks to cope. children who were 5 years old 15 years old 25 years old i've been cremated newlyweds i've been cremated my heart filled with so much grief seeing such small
10:45 pm
children so many small children dying from the coronavirus are going to try to turn over to the. workers say the deaths already far i've number the peak of the 1st wave last year and with new infections breaking daily record the situation certain to get even worse. relatives are often forced to search for hours for a space to criminal their loved ones. going to the suffering a myth their bereavement. in many other parts of india funeral services are also struggling with the rapidly growing death toll. even if it is night we will try to finish the last by the father day because so much it is going to keep the body full that is the reason we want to finish although.
10:46 pm
across the country the virus is making its impact felt leaving behind countless stories of grief. meanwhile in you officials are voicing their confidence of a speedy return to normality despite widespread problems with the vaccine rollers european commission presenters who were found alive and visited pfizer's belgian the vaccine plant today and announced the world's biggest vaccine supply deal it's expected to be finalized within days and should secure up to 1800000000 doses over the next few years she had good news for europe's. as we see right now production is increasing the deliveries are increasing we have stable process we stick together we overcame the initial problems so therefore we are confident that we will be able to increase our own issues and to say we want 70 percent of the adult population in europe being vaccinated in july already well this by about positive
10:47 pm
outlook germany is once again intensifying its fight against the pandemic as it battles a 3rd wave or infection this week german lawmakers passed a so-called emergency brake which imposes federal cope with restrictions in coronavirus hotspots previously each german state had been responsible for its own rules for many parts of the country this means a string to lock downs as of midnight friday new national rules have been hotly debated for why the very impinge on people's individual rights among the more controversial measures are night time curfews between 10 pm and 5 am let's bring indeed a political correspondent simon young welcome sign so talk us 1st of all through some of the new rules and where and when they will be imposed. yes phil the court the core of it as you said is what's being called the emergency brake which
10:48 pm
is a standard nationwide regime of measures that will be introduced in localities which have this have reached this sort of threshold of 100 new infections but 100000 inhabitants over the 7 day period and that stay above that threshold for 3 consecutive days and what it'll mean in those cases is for instance restrictions on personal contacts they'll be limited to one household plus just one other person in private meetings non-essential shops will be closed and as you mentioned nighttime curfew these will come in between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am now you will still be able to go out alone for a walk or a run up to midnight and there will be some other exceptions as well but for instance they won't be there were exceptions won't apply for people on
10:49 pm
holiday going on holiday so for instance if you've got an early flight to catch you want to be able to travel to the airport before 5 am and the government saying probably should rebook if you're planning to do that and live the curfew is a very interesting or may because the ways being imposed on hard hit areas at the moment you're looking at most of germany or thirty's do authorities really think that this is effective and in forcible. well the corona the the curfews are for sure the most controversial measures the intention of course is to stop night time gatherings and they might well achieve that effect i suppose or at least inhibit them there are exceptions as i mentioned for people fences looking after sick relatives or looking after pets or indeed people who have to go to work or you've got other good reasons to be outside now the police say that they're
10:50 pm
going to sort of treat this in a commonsense way and if people can give a good account of themselves that'll be fine but they've also got a tool to enforce it if you like which is they are able to impose a fine up 225000 euros for people who don't observe the curfew what you could see is confrontations in places and no doubt the police could do without that and but the those confrontations have already started because i understand now are already legal challenges to this. that's right the 1st legal challenges have already been fired filed at the constitutional court and individuals and groups civil rights defenders politicians all sorts of people have announced they are going to challenge this constitutional experts say it may well or at least parts of it of the new regime may be unconstitutional they say for instance the automatic link between one particular indicator this 7 day infection number and tough measures
10:51 pm
that that's really disproportionate and for instance they point out curfews are a very drastic measure and there's no actual proof that they will be effective in bringing down infections so you know can you really curb people's freedoms in that way they also say people who've been vaccinated or indeed have recovered from covina should really be treated in the same way as everybody else perhaps so there's lots of reasons to challenge as in the quite a good possibility that parts of it at least will be overturned the political correspondent simon young thank you. i said turkey which is currently hosting war than 4000000 refugees from the middle east numbers surge during syria's civil war which began 10 years ago but today most migrants trying to reach your from turkey are not from not from syria but from
10:52 pm
afghanistan that journeys are always dangerous and often deadly d.w. is usually a hard reports not from the eastern city of baghdad where many of those journeys have ended in tragedy. cemetery of the nameless this is how the locals call this place and for a mean a sufi saga and her son parviz it is always difficult to come here. painful memories or reawakened. motherhood videos you couldn't make going to you the people who are buried here have mothers brothers and sisters they all have someone who love them but now their families don't even know that they are here it breaks my heart that there is no one who comes and prays for them mobile how does you know. but if it is that is why i'm nina and power this pray here on behalf of everyone else that
10:53 pm
a lot of them they fled from of ghana stand by iran to turkey illegally on foot over the mountains. it's a long dangerous journey many freeze to death or die in accidents and many who don't make it end up here. in the eastern turkish city of van in an unadorned grave with no name. on them without a time myself there is a man here who was found dead in the mountains and once they brought women's bodies their fingers and toes were frozen off from the cold. things named as the grave seem like memorials a warning of the fate that looms on this dangerous journey and yet only a few are discouraged by the risk the number of people trying to reach europe why this route has sharply risen in recent years the route leads through the mountains
10:54 pm
straddling turkey's border with iran up to 4000 meters high most of those trying to reach europe from afghanistan pakistan bangladesh take this way. ticky is now building walls everywhere in the region they are hundreds of kilometers long the border with syria has already been closed off the wall to iran is still under construction. human rights lawyer mahmoud cut chances a war won't stop the refugees it only makes the journey more dangerous. he has in this area been ignoring people smuggling for too long it's become kind of a business sector so many get involved in this because a lot of money can be made in a short time at a relatively low risk. i mean and power of a sufi saga still clearly remember their own flight from afghanistan the smugglers took everything from them they say they have been living here in vonn for 3 years
10:55 pm
now. the family found refuge in turkey but like so many others they want to continue to woods europe. back to afghanistan they say that's out of the question. the you will not have lost everything in afghanistan it's a war zone our house was destroyed how can we go back there when there's no safety for children. but if we have to go back they will kill my son that's not an option . so they are holding out in eastern turkey stranded in their new existence and they think of those who lost their lives and are buried here at the symmetry of the nameless. orphan was the day i was out of a conversation continues online upon us on twitter. as a journalist

this is the line from. to death at the police station in paris. 3 prosecutors launched a terrorism investigation. the program. global climate summit fresh pledges world leaders to make good on that promise and says transitioning to clean energy could create millions of jobs. corona virus. infections. hospitals fill.
11:01 pm
i'm still gail welcome to the program prosecutors in france have opened a terrorism investigation after a police employee was stabbed to death at a police station near paris 3 people thought to be. have been detained. said the country would never get it given to what he called islamist terrorism. a normally quiet residential area just outside paris now the center of attention in france security agents flooded the area investigating the killing of a police employee that occurred in an unlikely location.
11:02 pm
the police station is very well protected there is a protective lock and so people can't just walk in so the attacker waited for her to go and change her parking ticket the murderer caught her by surprise as she left the police station for just a moment and so it was really a cowardly barbaric attack to kill someone and to kill a policewoman. local media report that the attacker was a 36 year old man with no criminal record some witnesses say they heard him say allahu akhbar arabic for god is great as he stabbed his victim a police officer then opened fire on the attacker killing him there suggestions the man had previously scouted out the site. the office of the national anti-terrorism prosecutor has taken charge over the investigation of the crimes committed here. the reasons for this are 1st how the
11:03 pm
events occurred which involved looking for a target. also the way the crime was committed. the profile of the victim but also the remarks made by the perpetrator at the time of the crime. the. president in my normal crime paid tribute to the police worker whom he identified as stephanie in a tweet he said the nation stood by her family he added in the fight against islamist terrorism we will not give up. islamist terrorism is again a worry for france. straight to paris where we join journalist catherine field welcome catherine bring us up to date what what more do we know. in the last few hours police have gone into the home of the assailant not far from the police station and home to the southwest of paris we will soon know they're carrying out
11:04 pm
a search of his previous home which is in eastern paris police have also taken into custody for questioning free of members of his close entourage we understand one of those could be a family member in the meantime police also say they have his mobile phone they're going through that to see what sort of links he may have had in the last few hours before this attack took place where they were links to jihadist organizations or anyone that can give them some sort of clue as to where this man was coming from what he was doing who were his accomplices if indeed there were any because this is a man who was not known to the security services he was known to the intelligence services so they really just fumbling around at this moment to try to put together a picture of what actually happened in those minutes before this attack took place and this is now being treated as a terror attack so what difference does it make in terms of powers of arrest in the
11:05 pm
way of investigation or sample. it means that the anti terror prosecutions can call on the french domestic intelligence unit it means that they can have much more wind to scope for be able to drew and other witnesses they can hold people for longer and of course they have all this other information to hand that they've had unfortunately from other attacks has been a spate over the last 5 or 6 he attacks on very small police stations and homes of police officers in the western heritage area so they'll be able to get all that information to get a very quickly and try and find out yet once again what went wrong then on to tackle was able to get through the front door on the police station and stabbed to death a police employee what sort of place. where this attack happened. it's a little suburban town really it's about 60 kilometers southwest of paris it has
11:06 pm
a fast train service enter the french capital so the sort of people who live there and generally families you can have a very small house with a little small garden the area is also known for having a beautiful forest a lovely chateau it's where you would really go to get away from the sort of hustle and bustle of the city and i think that's why the scenes that we're seeing tonight among be just so shocking because people are wondering around the street saying how could this have happened in this quiet sleepy little commuter town where everyone is or is being known for being friendly and laura but. i think that's catherine journalist catherine field in paris thank you. the world leaders have joined u.s. president joe biden in setting a new climate talk it's ending the 2 day virtual global climate summit president by his counterparts to make good on their commitments in order to slug global warming . hello everyone good morning everybody dialing in for day 2 of the virtual climate

conditions. and welcome to the program question. the scandal surrounding the company have now reached the very top of the german government. will face the parliamentary committee investigating the biggest fraud in german corporate history just how did the company often promoted by the german government 2000000000 euro hole and its finances. a world leader arrives to testify the bundestag committee investigating the wild card scandal wants to know why chancellor angela merkel spoke on behalf of the company during a trip to china in 2019. the no insolvent payments processor committed fraud worth billions merkel has defended promoting why
11:18 pm
a card saying it's common practice for the german government to do so abroad. despite all the press reports there was no reason to assume serious irregularities and why a card the german chancellor told the committee. however they are aware already indications that something was very wrong and why a card in september 29000 when angela merkel met chinese president xi still neither the german government nor the financial regulator of boston where suspicious opposition politicians find that troubling. market entry in china all the product party. storage company is desperately needed in 91 when search shareholders and investors and so i think not deliberately not intentionally in fact supported how in fact at least the continuation. sheet i mean palatial and this is of course well it politically a mistake why

a card collapse into insolvency last june after admitting to the 1900000000 euro hole in its finances leading politicians auditors and regulators have since all been accused of major failings the big question now is whether germany is any better equipped to avoid further large scale frauds by fin techs especially with increasing digitalisation of the financial services sector. ok techron says have been posting sharp losses following reports of a capital gains tax hike in the us president joe biden is thought to be planning to almost double its to around 40 percent of the wealthiest americans likely bad news for investors sitting on large amounts of digital assets like kryptos friday's sell off so bitcoins below the $50000.00 for the 1st time since march other could take ether and. also plunged in value. let's get more on this with our
