secretary general antonio terrace, says, and unprecedented economic transformation is needed now to limit the impact of climate change. the window to limits global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees is closing. fust, greenhouse gas emissions must be cut by 45 percent these thickets. but this to lazy missions get report confirms they remain and at dangers and threat could ice and steel rising commitments soon at seattle. i was 0 without the plans, policies and actions the back it up out old cannot afford any more green washing, fake movers or lights moves. nathan hoffman is the director of the center for global sustainability at the university of maryland. i asked him whether the goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius if this goal is, is still achievable. well, i think that the report shows that we really are in an emergency situation. it

really is sounding the alarm. at the same time, i think it's quite important to know that 1.5 in fact is not out of reach. i think that it actually, the report shows that where we are with current policies, is tracking toward a much warmer world than what we are aiming for in the international and global community. but that it remains within reach in all of our countries to build the actions that are needed over the course of this decade to deliver the reductions on the order of magnitude needed to keep that 1.5 target allied missed over. let me ask you, according to you in data, the world now appears to be on track to be about 3 degrees warmer by the end of this century. now, assuming that that will happen, shouldn't our leaders be laying the foundation before building a more resilient society? now and in the future. so it's absolutely true that we're already on committed to

some degree of, of warming. and i think that it's urgently important that we continue to implement new policies across all sectors and all gases to reduce those emissions to levels that would be safer than the 3 degree projection in this report. at the same time. it's also very important, equally important to be preparing for the impacts of the climate change. we know we are already committed to. i'd like to get your opinion on the various ways to raise awareness about the climate crisis. i want you to look at what happened in the hague netherlands, to day a climate activist, gluing his head to the glass covering one of the most famous paintings in the world . there. mir's girl with a pearl earring, and we have to point out that the artwork was not damaged. but we have seen many such protests in recent weeks and months. and a lot of people are upset over this. i mean, would you agree that,

that the shock value is fleeting at best here? i mean, what's your take on these types of protests? yeah, i, you know, that's a, here's the thing, you know, climate change, i think really is threatening of the things we love in this world. it really is threatening cultural heritage. it's, it's threatening our lives and livelihoods. it's threatening our economic vitality . and those are real genuine, present threats. so, to me, it strikes me that we should be looking for opportunities to call awareness to that threat without creating additional risks for our current cultural treasures. nathan open with the center for global sustainability of university of maryland. mr. home, and we appreciate your time and your insights. deny. thank you. thank you. ukraine's president zalinski says that his forces are holding out against russian

attacks and the easter don't baths. regent. he says, air strikes have destroyed nearly a 3rd of ukraine's energy grid and he's condemning the kremlin tactics. he's calling them crazy. smoke rising of a buck mote. across much of the country. successful ukrainian counter attacks have put russia on the defensive. but in the eastern cities of us differ and voc moot. russian forces continue to grind forward located in the don yet screeching bach most has been under heavy bombardment for months. now ukrainian officials say it is the sight of some of the heaviest fighting in the country. as russia continues to advance. was it but who control over territory keeps changing hands to day. it's as to morrow. there's the day after to morrow. as again, the fighting is intense to day, our guys took a prisoner a prisoner from russia. russia's offensive here is being supported by the wagner

mercenary group, a paramilitary force, with links to the kremlin. ukrainian and west and officials accused the group of recruiting prisoners from russian jails to fight in ukraine. now ukrainian soldiers on the front lines said these prisoners are being used as bait. a tactic presidency . lensky has described as crazy. of them. the voice of notice is called one time use. the main task of these one use soldiers is to come towards us and find out opposition if they are lucky, they will stay alive if not, they die. despite the intense fighting ukrainian troops are said to be holding on, but months of constant bombardment, a taking their toll and the russian offensive shows no sign of slowing down. or let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the european union has struck a deal to ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars. from the year 2035

negotiators agreed the car makers must cut c o 2 emissions by a 100 percent by the year 2035. now, if this becomes law, it will become impossible to sell new fossil fuel powered vehicles within the 20 southern countries that make up the e. u. the european central bank has raised interest rates again and will end ultra cheap loans to commercial banks. the central bank for the 19 countries which share the euro raised its deposit rate to 1.5 percent. that is the highest we've seen in more than 10 years. the bank is trying to curb surging inflation. germany's cesar o sholtes is in athens for talks with greece. is it prime minister here? the echoes mitzo talkies children says that he believes e you states can find a solution to volatile gas prices. about 15 e u countries and say they want a european wide price cap. they say that would bring down inflation.

the u. s. has imposed new sanctions against iranian officials involved in the crackdown on anti government protest. human rights groups say that hundreds of people have been killed in recent weeks. rallies have marked the end of the traditional 40 day morning period. following the death of gina masa, meeting her death while being held by iran, so called morality police sparked the protests. mourners have been chanting now for weeks. slogans. demanding rights for women. come round martine is a senior lecturer on the international politics of the university of sussex. he's been following the protests in iran closely, and i asked him if he is surprised that these protests are still going so strong. 6 weeks after the death of jena. masa a me i must admit personally, i was surprised by the show of force by people yesterday on the 40th day of the

hour, my fine niece killing the crowd which came to street south her home town of stuck as in course the sun was in the region of 100000 tens of thousands of people from different times came to the cemetery where she was buried. even though their forces had blocked the roads, they bypassed them and, and actually got there. and not only does i mean across iran, there will protest universities in various cities. and there were also casualties in particular, how about another cause or city? one person was killed and during his kind of burial today, massive protest broke out and report. so just 3 for the people have been killed in that city. government building have been down in, sorry about interrupting you there. we've got a little delay here in the signal. what is different about the protests we're

seeing now compared to protest movements that we've seen in the recent past? i think there are different, both in terms of the nature of the protest, but also its context. so in terms of the protest, this has been the largest geographically, most disperse and the most cross ethnic and cross class cross kind of sections fictional protests. we have had also 2 social groups take part in it. and most importantly, women play a key role, not only in terms of it's like the, the, the, on the grounds on the streets, but also in terms of the strategic slogan of the movement. which is woman life reason which is very positive and also quite unifying in terms of different class and ethnic kind of identities in iran, in terms of context. iranian politics is very different because in the last

presidential election and parliamentary elections reform is faction, we're focus was effectively removed from the system. and therefore, the discourse of reform is in which she tends to actually give false hope to section of iranian society is no longer there. iran has never been more isolated because of the continuing and crisis talks with the, with the west and iran primary support. russia itself is engaging in a kind of losing war in ukraine. so however, you look at the union regime is not in, in a kind of good shape to deal with such a large and for law kind of protracted popular protests. yeah, and we know that in the past, crackdowns by the regime, had silenced protests and protesters. do you think that history could repeat itself or maybe the question is, how far do you think that this regime is willing to go to stop these protesters? how far can it go?

well the, i mean it's a signature kind of measure which is brutal. suppression in major cities hasn't worked so far. but it has to be said that the, the excessive violence regime has kind of is bad for the periphery of iran, ethnic periphery places like baluchistan in the south east, or cornerstone in northwest. and we so just a week or so ago, a couple of weeks ago and as i had on in but it just on, off to 90. people were killed in a single day and just the other day yesterday, in fact ensure as we had an attack on the shrine in which 13 people were killed, the government attributed to islamic states. but there are lots of reports which suggest this might be a inside work by the regime to distract from the, from the protest, but also create a pretext for further suppression as well as externalizing the crisis by accusing the regional state, including saudi arabia,

to which actually some of your indian leadership has, has pointed finger out so it seems that regime. 3 is trying to create distraction, but also externalized the crisis by creating such such situations. but it doesn't seem to work really and, and level of indecisiveness and confusion of the highest level of the state is visible. this time around mr. martine, to be very briefly, how close would you say we are to a revolution in iran? well, i mean, iranian revolution, 979 gives us some actually clue to what's going on from now. because every commemoration of the fall and i killed protest in the 40 s t a in the 7th day this tradition exists in iran like yesterday, 40 days after gene, i mean he was killed. this creates a cycle of protest, kind of spontaneous people gather to commemorate the, the person who has been killed. and there are so many killed. i mean at least 250. so it is reported to having came so far. so there is actually in built mechanism of

reproduction and continuation of the protests. and if the image is we see from iranian cities from yesterday and even today is anything to go by. i don't see really any level of exhaustion or fatigue of the people. so i think we should expect this go on for a while actually cameron martine with university of sussex, mr. murphy, we appreciate your time, your insights tonight. thank you. ah, every church begins with the 1st step and every language with the 1st word. hello, pinnacle rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him? a simple online on your mobile and free chef d w e learning course, nico speak, german made easy on the green.
