power branch here on underground trains. their content which is being all the lights are being them. so every other light here is switched off right now. but these really are just stop gap measure to help alleviate the short term. in the long term environmentalists like li chow of greenpeace, a policy makers must set more aggressive green targets to tackle the effects of climate change. huge oil change on that to the antenna. extreme climb events like this, i causing a lot of damage and i spent a lot of public discussion. these factors could push the government to take a more proactive approach, inviting climate change and reaching its carbon neutral goals. at the same time though, the recent heat wave, the havoc it's caused, have raised questions over southwestern china's reliance on hydropower. the rust is policy makers may resort to burning more fossil fuels like coal, to meet its energy demands, and to reduce the risk of future energy crunches brought on by extreme weather
4:43 pm
conditions. but it's likely to make it harder for china to achieve its goal of going carbon neutral by 2060. and it could contribute towards even more unpredictable and extreme weather in the future. and that's it for today is of course war from the region on our website, d. w. thrown forward, slash is sheriff times as ever. you can philosophy on facebook and for to reflect more of the same time would think of then we've seen a sex phone operator who wrote her master's thesis on potato raring to read a, not the turn on. well, it gets more ridiculous from their d. w literature list. good german must read. not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take
