ah ah ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin, a stark warning from the un secretary general on climate change. the block. you stick. we are you the 1st of all lives as your lucy will lead as gather in cairo for the cop 27 climate summit compensation the country is already suffering.

climate damage is a key item on the agenda. also coming up d, w, meets the russian woman who worked in the security and defense ministries for years before suddenly deciding to flee her homeland asylum in france and on the eve of the u. f. midterm elections, many young people gearing up to vote for the 1st time and in recorded numbers. ah, i manuscript macon and thanks so much for joining us. well, leaders, the gathering for climate talks in egypt at the you ends cop 27 summit. now they are facing formidable challenges at this year's conference with countries seeking to limit the rise of global temperatures to $1.00 degrees celsius. leaders must now find common ground to take action. a med geopolitical turmoil and

a spiraling energy crisis. in his welcoming remarks, the un secretary general struck a somber tone about the urgency of the issue. these un climate conference, this is a reminder that the answer is in our ends. and the clock is ticking. we are in the fight of our lives and we are losing greenhouse gas emissions. keep growing global temperatures. keep rising and our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate scales. you reversible. we are on the highway to climb hotel with our food steam on the accelerator in some way. we can speak to beatrice christopher ow! from d w environment as beatrice, welcome. now we know the dozens of world leaders are gathering in egypt this week at the top 27 climate summit. can you tell us what is the most immediate problem

that they're facing and, and what can they do to fix it? i mean, the most, the main priority of these climate talks is the same priority, the kind of talks i've had for the past decades. because scientists have been saying for a very long time that we need to de carbonized our economy, stop burning fossil fuels like coal and gas, but move towards greener energy sources like wind and solar. because what happens when we burn fossil fuels is that we emit gases into the atmosphere that's create kind of a greenhouse effect. effectively baking are planted and making temperatures rise. and that makes extreme weather events like he waves floods. droughts are more common and also makes them hit harder. and i'm sure many people watching at home have even noticed that in their own lives. in the past few years. earlier today, the french president and menu and my call urged china the us and other non european countries to pay their fair share to help fight climate change. he said,

europeans paying were the only ones paying? is he right? i mean, it's a complicated question because we have to ask ourselves, is any nation right now paying enough, given how urgent this emergency is. i mean, poor nation's would probably argue, yeah, the u. s. needs to pay up and china needs to pay up. but so do the european countries because poor nations, because i mean these wealthy nations made a fortune off of burning fossil fuels. and then the poor nations are really the ones feeling the extreme weather events the most and are expected to pay for adaptation to transitioning to cleaner energy and all the economic and cultural damage that is done when an extreme weather event ravages through your country. the issue of course, is up the wealthy nations don't want to pay up and that'll be interesting to see what happens in these talks. a big topic isn't at this conference. i mean with so many different interests that play and quite frankly, so much happening in the world right now. how realistic is it really that we're going to see any coordinated action going forward?

now world leaders have set themselves, you know, this, these climate talks are competing against the war and ukraine, the energy crisis rising cost of living. and they are asking themselves really how realistic is that they're gonna channel all this money towards climate when they're more kind of humanly more urgent issues or play. so while we perhaps can't expect a breakthrough pack, that will change everything. now what we do see in these types of climate talks is incremental change. and hopefully what we will see is that world leaders are feeling ever more pressure to do carbonized or economy interest. christopher from d w. 's environment as thank you say money now, one of the effects of climate change as we just heard, there is more extreme weather patterns on the african continent. for example, some parts suffering severe droughts while other parts are experiencing heavy, infrequent rainfalls, as is currently the case in nigeria. a small town in the democratic republic of

congo is all so now dealing with overflows from lake 10 jamica, it's one of the world's largest lakes. the fishing communities there are suffering from warm water temperatures which are killing the fish. and now rising water levels and mudslides a further devastating the community the lake is eating away at homes, bit by bit and meter by meter. the water is or isn't so high. the thousands of people in the town of calamity have been displaced. what was going on as ab would have one yorba linda creekbaum here was a very nice house. adequate fuzzy. i left with her on the other side. all the people have fled when yeah, we don't know where to get help so that we can rebuild the whole of what they like a what they will, what the, what, what am i look at all this closely? but i live with us, our family, back in busy. i've been living to one night major tanganyika has destroyed us a little while then i will now young lady and i need it at the finance finance.

i've tanganyika is the world's 2nd deepest, fresh water lake. local residence depend on its fish to make a living, but rising water temperatures have killed mass, amounts of fish. on top of that, the lake has become a danger to the people. it once fed. floods and storms are common in tropical countries, like the democratic republic of congo. but climate change is now making them more frequent and more severe. now, when it rains, the earth slides that's washed, huge chunks of silt into the lake and cause water levels to search. the rise, according to this official, has been very rapid. well, you'll receive among the mafia of lake tongue jenica has risen to a level of more or less 5 to 6 meters in height. and advanced to 100, the 250 meters in land towards the continent all in 3 years or the southern continent also really plausible for calamity residents each day has become

unpredictable. the hope is that the global community will take note of it. ukrainian also received a warning keep residents about the possibility of regular power outages and these planned interruptions are meant to reduce demand on damaged power plants and distribution systems. in recent weeks, russia targets hit the power grids and water infrastructure in and around keith citizens. and now bracing for regular disruption to electricity supplies and water shortages, energy providers say the power cuts on to avoid overloading the system and to allow for repair work. earlier i asked our correspondent nick connelly who is and keeps if ukrainians are feeling that russian attacks might now be slowing down. i think people here are not rushing to come to that conclusion. they're still too fearful that more is to come. it is true that over the last month has been this pattern of

it should irregularity with russia checking ukraine's energy system or during the night from sunday to mondays. if people make the joke here is if they're trying to please, their boss is coming in to work on a monday morning as kind of dark humor that prevails here. that hasn't happened this week, but it still seems like russia is driving out to basically compensate for its lack of success on the battlefield by attacking the infrastructure that keeps people's lives going far away from the front lines. and there are reports that are more iranian weapons are heading towards russia that russia is trying to build up, become stock of weapons of missiles to then potentially attack ukraine on a much bigger scale than has been the case in recent weeks to real sense that this is still very acute, even if you cranes now having a bit of a breather and has managed to kind of compensate some the worse damage. and now we're just dealing with kind of plan blackouts rather than emergency blackouts. that was the case of lossy days. as a result of these attacks keith's mer is telling residents to be prepared to leave what people and keep doing with this advice. i think those people were struck

by that because for all the damage, all the kind of difficulty of going about de la people are keeping extraordinarily a positive and kind of optimistic. you hear people making jokes, talking about how to get their generator working, where to find the diesel about neighbors complaining about noise, those kinds of things. and so people i think weren't really ready for such a stark message. and for now it's not on the card, but definitely the mare that same people should be ready and should have contingency plans. if things do get worse, it is important. so that winters any just really starting, the temperatures only started dropping in recent days to things are going to get a lot tougher before they get better. and ukraine has router spare parts. if there's more damage, ukraine will be fully dependent on foreign help to repair those networks. as certainly we are a bit of a kind of turning point. now you said people are generally sort of positive and upbeat, and yet as you say, ukrainians are coping or having to cope with power and water shortages. is there a sense that the ongoing russian attacks could grind them down to the extent that

ukraine is forced back to the negotiating table or to the negotiating table? i should say. well i think that was definitely the calculation in moscow that this would achieve a kind of a willingness to accept moscow's terms or at a time where russia is having a remarkably little success on the battlefield. and that kind of civilians approve a more kind of vulnerable target. they would put pressure on their leaders to go to talk to vladimir putin that isn't happening. i think it's kind of bloody mindedness among lots of ukrainians account determination to keep on going. i think we've also seen a lot of kind of counter productive effects. european countries were maybe bit wobbly about supplying ukraine with weapons now under pressure from their own public seeing these images from ukraine, sending more in the way of anti missile anti aircraft systems ukraine. we've just heard in recent minutes that ukraine's received the message systems from the u. s. and also more missiles from spain to potentially is going to be increasingly in a better space in terms of shooting down missiles, shooting and plains that might be trying to bomb ukraine. so sense here that

ukraine is for now holding up, but yes, this is a very difficult situation. and economically, people just need to be able to go about their work and earn a living. after almost a year of, of, of war people's savings are near really at an end. if they can't rely on the power to work, they can't work from home. and it's just gonna be very difficult. next, thank you. that's d w isn't it? commonly in keith the hundreds of thousands of russian citizens have left their country in recent months to flee persons mobilization. but some are leaving for other reasons in conjunction with the german cio composter from the r b b network, d w, spoke to a doctor. her name is maria de ma treva. she was loyal to the russian regain, having spent years working for the defense and interior ministries and for the russian secret service. the 2 weeks ago she decided to flee and apply for asylum in france. we mean, maria, on the coat de zoar in the south of france just a few years ago. this region was among the favorite places for rich russians to go

on holiday and buy houses, but the war changed everything. maria dmitri eva is a doctor. she travel to paris, fire algeria with only one goal in mind to apply for asylum. she spent years working in clinics of russian ministries. most recently the f. s. b, the domestic secret service. there was her share. so yours is also good. the. the you are you spelling of your live or your beast years on your education, on your profession. but your government does not even think about the paypal roles they are thinking about is themselves live. you know, at the futon when and his entourage adjust criminal's band of the person who and all the a years and power. how did nothing good for the people that shem on those liberals, not reason did they need to annex territories of other states by the means? of illegal referendums and tierra 3 girls. daughter,

maria says there's a growing sense of bewilderment and unhappiness among her friends and the russian secret services about the so called special military operation in ukraine. they're wondering about the numbers of deaths among civilians were in harbor fears about the rising influence of some figures from putins in her circle. she says that even before the war, her patients in the clinic of the ministry of defense were complaining of bern eyes . but nobody dared speak out against the commanders. don't anyway said, but you know everyone is scared because every street protest and moscow is being stopped very quick and very brutal. d. w in cooperation with or b, b con, tulsa, has been researching refugees from russia. we visited the founder of the human rights network, gallagher dot nes, flooded miro sash kid in the north of france. his mission is to collect eye witness

reports on violence, torture, and corruption and russian prisons. he's been protected by the french police, but we're not alive to film him with bodyguards. he says in recent weeks, he has been overwhelmed with messages from russia. no cousin, every single day, we are receiving 23 letters. our names, the registered email addresses on proton mail. now they're just playing got a says king is helping maria to she didn't want to support the war. my world, i was able to get out to turkey. it's a visa, free country for russia. i was able to leave quietly, no one would know where i was, i would get lost and live my life. but with my escape, i wanted to tell the world things a really bad. maria says her entire family has left russia in france. she's been giving interviews to the big tv stations. she says she wants the world to know that

not everyone in russia supports putins politics. and his bloody war on ukraine now was just one day left before the u. s. mid terms of final campaign pushes underway, seats and both chambers of congress are up for grabs, as well as governorships and city may oral officers. and president joe biden has been campaigning, a new york, where the states democratic governor cathy hoko, is facing a tight race against her republican rival. former president donald trump was calling on crowds in florida to support republican candidates. and tuesdays vote for our guardian. and more than 8000000 young americans are getting ready to vote in these elections. so the very 1st time, many will be looking to elect lawmakers to bring about change and experts, the saying they're less motivated by policy and much more by policy. jamie is a dedicated climate activist. she was sending campaign post cards to people around

the country before she was old enough to vote. now in the mid term elections. she finally has a voice. she's one of 8000000 kinsey, 1st time voters. and she's clear about what's at the top of her agenda. they say we have, i think, 8 years lock now had to reduce our comm emissions by 1.5 degrees in order for this planet to be livable. um, so the policies that are enacted now will determine the fate of this planet for centuries. she's not a dedicated democrat, but she, like many other young people, feels that when it comes to climate change, she has no other choice. at the end of the day. if it's down for democrat or republican democrats are far more likely to either be persuaded or actually make the right decision for the climate. aidan is also a student in a 1st time voter. he has 2 major issues in mind. this election cycle,

which makes choosing between parties difficult. i think, democrats kind of have more of a initiative and drive to um, you know, that tackle the, the climate change issues than conservatives. but i think economics wise, i think conservatives have a better a better mindset going into that side of the climate change issue. i. i'm one of a, by part of he's involved with left middle home with bright torture. so the 1st question is, how important do you think your vote is in elections and that the student found it? news outlet, showcasing diverse political perspectives from jesse. i'm from his work there means he talks with many people, his age was painful. a lot of people like me who kind of don't see a fit in either party, so they're kind of just stuck in the middle kind of, you know, going back and forth between left views and reviews. sandra ochoa knows just how much young voters can be more focused on policy than party. she spent several months talking with 1st time voters for the non partisan youth organizing group 18

by vote. young people aren't too tied down to parties themselves, so i think of other parties were able to rise up to power and represented us better . i think young people would be very willing to vote for them because i don't think they're tied down to a party name. they're tied on to to be issues. first time voters in the u. s. have seen the 2 party system produce chaos and a stalemate. while real life issues they care about become increasingly urgent. so young people will have to make frustrating compromises with their boots in the selection until the system or the parties adapt to how these new voters think about politics. as went to john hoffman earlier, he's a global risks consultant and member of the council on foreign relations. and i asked him if jen z a vote so. so young voters could be a deciding factor in these midterms. no. is the short answer, but you're right to go back a step,

a in the last election and 2020 youth voters traditionally never show up. this is always these sacred cow of american kind of thinking that if we could only the democrats can get the youth vote out the wind. but last time they showed up fully 50 percent of those $18.00 to $29.00. and it a voting in 2020, and that was the margin of jo biden's victory because traditionally the youth vote is about 2 to one in favor of the democrats biden has given them a lot on his plate this time. certainly the end of roe v wade and that returning to the states is an issue that motivates a lot of younger voters. and frankly the bry, that was getting rid of their student debt. whereas i had to pad and on it, and people not in college after pad. this was an enticement to put it mildly to get them out to vote. but so far in the mail balloting that's been looked at, which is very minor thereabout. it's only about a 3rd, the total of mail valid and what it was last time. so that's back to its normal, really pathetic numbers, and that means the democrats are likely to have a very,

very long night to morrow. now the political divide in the us has a rarely been deeper, and i young votes as, as polarized as that older counterparts. i'm most of the know in the sense that the overwhelming majority are, are democrats. i mean, the way this works is that various groups are overwhelmingly one thing or the other, and it isn't that you try to get them to change in aggregate. you try to knock down those numbers. so for instance, african americans voted $95.00 to $5.00 for obama. republicans don't need to win african american senior to knock that number down to about 7525, and that's a huge wind for them. likewise, hispanics had voted 2 to one for democrats. the new number is about 5050, which is a huge win for the republicans. so the key is to knock down these overwhelming numbers. so younger voters still tend to vote democratically. it's about 60 percent as opposed to $67.00. that means an awful lot of young voters do vote republican,

but the majority vote democratic republicans either want them not to turn out or to vote republican and knocked down that advantage because they're going to wind strongly on older white college educated men. he's talked a little bit about what you know, people are motivated by. i was in the us last week speaking to a 25 year old who has those had democrat in the past. but he said, you know, anything about these elections doesn't really affect my paycheck. so i, i'm just not going to those. and is that something that's a lot of young people would be able to relate to? absolutely, and i think that's a shrewd comment and you were right to listen to it because the reality is, the democrats bet that abortion would be. the overwhelming issue that somehow donald trump, who hasn't been in power for 2 years, would be the overwhelming issue. the issue is what it always is, is james carville, said bill clinton's famously shrewd campaign manager. it's almost always the economy, stupid, and right now with cost of living at 40 year highs with inflation utterly out of

control with bite and having thrown gasoline onto the fire by trillion dollar spending plan. after trillion dollar spending plan, there's really nobody to blame but him for inflation and critically independent voters. many youth by the way, are independent voters overwhelmingly blamed the president for inflation for cost of living and for the recession to come. because the only way to get inflation down is going to be to, as we've seen with the fed, to ratchet interest rates up very quickly. almost always that's as larry summers pointed out, that leads to recession and young voters are of course, the most vulnerable segment of society. they're the ones actually doing the jobs out there. so this or fax them to pretend that pocket book issues don't motivate them, is not to understand young voters tongue holes then thank you so much for your analysis . really interesting. and my pleasure. thank you for having me. now here is something the amazon astronomy among you won't want to miss coming out just after 3

and new york time. on november, the 8th, a total luna eclipse is due to be visible in the skies over large parts of the americas, the pacific and asia. as a phenomenon occurs when the moon passes through the shadow and it will be your last chance to see it for the next 2 and a half, he is unusual events in the skies above us never cease to amaze. a tend to lunar eclipse starts with the moon passing into the faint pounds of the shadow. eventually, it will start pausing. i'm behind the full shadow of the ass, and we'll start to see a partial eclipse or a much darker shadow will not come across much more noticeable than the pin number of shadow. eventually things will line up exactly if you are in the right reasons to see this, and the full surface of the mean will be much darker and red and we will have a total eclipse. one of the most striking features of the phenomenon is

a so called blood moon. the reason for this is that a little bit of sunlight, but he's still able to reach the means surface. so like that has traveled right around the very slides, very edges or the region of the atmosphere, the sunlight is passing through is the same areas of the sky that will be experiencing sunset and sun rise. so it's that same british colors that we see at those times of the day that will reach to means the whole event will last several hours, but it won't be visible to everyone. the best place to spot it is going to be east of asia. so russia, japan, in particular, will have good views, museum will have a very nice view as well. a lot of canada will be able to see it. wow, as well as the western united states. so if they're in the right region, how should sky watch has prepared themselves?

lunar eclipse is all very easy to spot. you don't need any specialist equipments. you get a slightly better view if you do use a telescope, but you'll still see a very spectacular site. just with and i did i, you can see it live, you can live stream it. and if you don't catch this total lunar eclipse, or if you're in africa, the middle east and most of europe, you'll have another chance in march 2025. and here's a quick reminder of our top story. well, leaders are in egypt for the u. n. cop 27 climate summit. secretary general antonio . good tara warned. the delegates that the clock is ticking when it comes to taking action on climate change. countries already suffering are demanding compensation from the world's largest polluting nation. watching daily news and coming up next and d. w. news, asia filipino authorities are facing the deluge of online child sex abuse in the
