10:11 am
the more and more international carriers are now avoiding it to fly over most of them from western europe. that means that tele, rowse does earn less money vis overflight rights. they aren't about 1500000 years a week from 3000 over flights. so this will be gone. but this is not a big effect on the budget in bella. ruth. and on the other hand, allied from better was a band more and more and more you countries. so that means that reaching and traveling from bit arrows becomes more difficult also for dissident and people who want to leave the country actually have to go to ukraine or russia now. but the, the airline dispute is not the biggest measure that you will take, the foreign ministers are talking about sectoral sanctions against the whole part of the economy in bella roofs, for example,
10:12 am
the wood industry or the cement industry or other industry that that would really hurt better is, but you is not there yet. the list is not prepared and not all for me. this is actually that visit the bypass international organizations around the world. scrambling to react the international civil aviation organization as meeting today . they're expected also be talking about better. ruth, can we expect them to take any action this organization cannot take action? actually, they can maintain the claim of the you that this was a kind of piracy, this false lending of, and reiner flights in minutes. and they can say that was a violation of a treaty, a convention from the 1944. but this counsel has no means extra to enforce its ruling. if you want to, this has to be done by country they have to apply sanctions. and you will not rely
10:13 am
on this united nations body. it's more a political question now than a legal question. i'm talking about the united nation in summer, hoping that the un security council will do some thing to deal with the situation in bella rule. not just this ation incident, but that seems unlikely, given russia's support for men's business, then put more pressure on the e. u to deal with what's happening in better rates. the fundamentals we'll talk here about the wider because not only about bill i was it's about the role of russia in the region and all these frozen conflicts that frustrates involved in, in ukraine, in georgia, and also in moldova, and as a by john, a transmission to name a few and they used to looking for a strategy, how to tickle this, how to put pressure on russia, how to talk to russia. and the german foreign minister just said, we have to talk to us despite of all things that are happening because we need
10:14 am
russia actually on board to resolve these issues. there's no easy way out here. and russia, of course, the launches ally of be la ruth. so you have to see them both in the same the same due. bam, thank you very much. that was our correspondent, bentley. good in listen. now a court in the netherlands has ordered royal dutch shell to cut his carbon emissions by 45 percent. by the year 2030, the watershed decision stems from a 2018 lawsuit that argued the oil giant was falling short of its obligations under the paris climate agreement. decision could set off a wave of lawsuits targeting energy companies around the world. yeah, climate activists in the netherlands celebrate and for a landmark surge, milligan, royal dutch shell, have core lube oil and gas company has
10:15 am
a legal responsibility to fight climate change. now shall miss drastically accelerate its efforts to reduce its carbon emissions. for the 1st time that we will manage to pay to address climate change. so i totally, i'm happy myself for my thinking and all of the children in plenty. so the case was brought by environmental groups and over 17000 dutch citizens, their success enforcing a major company to abide by paris climate agreement. goals is a 1st very, very, very happy that we have this groundbreaking ruling where the chord is crystal clear. and the fact that the cooperation shoot, shoot, indeed a contribution to solving the climate crisis based on human rights law. shell meanwhile says it's considering appealing the decision. no vaccine with the verdict is disappointing. her. we are working hard to become
10:16 am
a net 0 energy company by 2050 thousands and thousands of people at shell are working on that every day. and we are investing billions in that. and although we are moving in the right direction, we're now being asked to read this, that we will have to study this and see what options we have. okay. and the meantime, we are considering whether to appeal or not and appeal could drag on for years. but activists won't wait to press on with efforts to whole polluting companies accountable. and fact, experts say the shell decision could trigger a wave of similar lawsuits around the world. over more were joined by laurie funder, bog, a senior campaigner, it oil change international in amsterdam. thanks for being with us. what do you make of this court decision against shell? well, it's a huge victory and not just for people in the netherlands,
10:17 am
but for people all around the world. and especially for those people that are hit hardest by the climate crisis. and this is the 1st time that our court has ruled that a corporation of big oil and gas company has a loop nickel duty to reduce its emissions in line with 1.5 degrees to address the climate crisis. a shell is obviously appealing this. do you think though that they will be there their, their feet will be held to the fire on this one? do you think they'll be forced to, to, to actually cut emissions the way the court said they should? well, in the ruling, the court says that this everything is in of immediate effect. so that means that shell need to take it to take action starting today to reduce its emissions by 45 percent by 2030. so it cannot await a new rooming from a higher court. it needs to all ready start implementing this ruling now. and in the netherlands, we've had a climate case against the dutch government,
10:18 am
which also went to the higher court through the supreme court and there. and the supreme court actually went further than the district court. so, and i think there's also a risk for shell, if they decide to appeal this case and take this to a higher court. they might actually end up with a ruling that is even stronger than diverting we saw yesterday. okay, then assuming that the ruling hold source, perhaps it perhaps will be even strengthened. what impact you think all this could have on global c o 2 emissions? well, it will have significant impact on global here. because it's just a few oil and gas corporations that get, are responsible for almost 2 thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions. and this ruling is not just about shelves own emissions, but also it's about the emissions of it's consumers and suppliers. so shell doesn't
10:19 am
just happen. duty to reduce its operational and mission, but it also has to do if you to work with suppliers and it's customers to reduce the emissions that our cost by the use of its products. so it will have some huge implication because it will mean that's shown to call it and gas production activities, and that's the point source of emissions. and so this, this ruling also because it will likely be followed with similar cases in other jurisdictions, will also have implications for other oil and gas companies. and that means that it will also contribute to significantly reducing oil and gas emission worldwide. lori fundable trauma oil change international in amsterdam. thank you very much. thank you. more than a 150 people are feared to have drowned in northwest nigeria after a ferry boat sank on the nigel river. around a 165 people are believed to have been on board. when the boat capsized,
10:20 am
it was traveling from central neesha state to state. when witnesses say it broken to pieces and sec. let's head straight over to lagos. now for the latest our correspondence, fred bonia is standing. bother, fred, what more can you tell us about the rescue effort? due authorities think they have any chance of pulling any more people alive from the water tell you they turn says to put out more people with according to officials from that campus to their way of saying that this is, this is unlikely because the incident happened. this accident happened yesterday at 10 o'clock local time and, and they be the people as to the ward. so the chances of getting them i've, it's the almost impossible. that's why did he say,
10:21 am
he said no petition. went on until midnight and then they talked i'm the started again this morning hoping to hoping that they kind of get more bodies from the water. now the boat was apparently overcrowded when it's saying, is that likely the main cause that's what the officials are paying because this was no money should cut around 80 people. but we understand that the number was more than more than double some numbers. some of the newspapers are saying 200 people saying more than 180, but their officials count 165 women and the kids who were on the board going to a market. so definitely i think that's the main cause for the fact that the board was overloaded and not only people,
10:22 am
but also even some of some of the things that they were taking to market wayllace on board. so definitely that's one of the reasons, but also another use on in the these boards, are they all these kinds of accidents, these boat accidents or not but uncommon unfortunately in nigeria could authorities be doing more to prevent the yeah, obviously people are saying that there weren't a transport, transport port issue and well fissions should walk on need and try to see what they can change because and no one who wants new business in water transport. they does go and they do eat and they have on boards. no safety measures and officials bad control days. so that's why fred,
