ah ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to you live from berlin. the start warning from the un secretary general on climate change. the clock is ticking. we are in the fight of all lives and we are losing. world leaders are in egypt for the cost $27.00 climate summit, top of the agenda compensation for countries already suffering. the effects of

a warmer plant. also coming up. russia has been launching attacks on ukraine from neighboring bell roofs. versus main opposition leader tells the w, the feller which and people do not support the actions of the current government in minutes. and on the eve of the u. s. midterm elections, many young people are gearing up to vote for the 1st time and, and record know ah hello m terry martin. thanks for joining us. walt leaders are gathering for climate talks in egypt at the you ends cop 27 summit. they are pacing formidable challenges at this year's conference with country seeking to limit the rise of global temperatures to one point. 5 degrees celsius. leaders must now find common ground to take action amid geopolitical turmoil and spiraling energy crisis. in his

welcoming remarks, the un secretary general struck a somber tone. these un climate conference is that he mind that, that the young said easy 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 template ships keep rising and our planet is fast approaching taping points that will make climate scales. you reversible. we are on the highway to climate hell with our food still on the accelerator with me, the studio to talk more about this is ron john from d w. environment desk. at the un secretary general there, we just heard him say that we are on a highway to climate hell. what is the most immediate problem that we're facing right now with respect to climate change?

so the problem is, is that we've done 2 things. the make the planet more hostile to human life. we've burned fuels that release gases that trap heat and the planet and we've kill plants that kind of suck the gases out of the atmosphere. the result of that is that with heat of the planet, by about 1.2 degrees celsius, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it makes extreme temperatures much more likely and makes extreme weather work. that means that we've made heat waves hot, her tropical site cleanser, growing stronger coastal floods were pushed fee level so high that coastal floods are more likely to wash way people wash way homes force way livelihoods as well. all of that stuff that we're paying for across the globe in terms of higher insurance prices in terms of increased health care costs. and these will all get worth the more we burn fossil fuels. ok, so if you laid out the problem they are pretty well. um, we got the world leaders meeting in egypt as they do regularly to talk about climate change. they've been trying to keep

a global warming to 1.5 degrees. that's not looking likely any more. what are the most urgent decisions that these leaders need to make at this meeting? for the lead of have committed to trying to stop global warming out this 1.5 degrees celsius target. the current policies put us on trying to double that. and the number one priority is to put in policy is to cut emissions. that means burning of fuels, building keena sources of energy, reducing energy demand production rich countries. 3rd, easier to reach the target on a secondary level. and what's becoming increasingly important is to help countries adapt to the damages verde becomes stronger, that are becoming stronger. so that means that the tropical fi clearing that used to maybe be hitting a certain level of intensity as they get warmer, they get hotter as they get windy and rainy. countries need to be able to adapt to be things and avoid the most severe damages. adaptation is expensive, it is going to cost these countries

a lot at this in order to adapt climate change. rising sea levels, what not at this climate conference. it's happening right now in each of the world . leaders are talking about rich countries, compensating poor countries for that damage. it's already been done. you think that's going to happen. but very little signs. the rich countries will stamp money to help to pay for the damage of the losses that poor countries are experiencing. it's worth remembering bets over a decade ago. rich countries promised poor ones, $100000000000.00 a year in climate finance. so it's mixture of loans, private finance grants and so on. and that was meant to happen every year starting in 2020. they broke that promise. they did not put that money up. it's not about 80000000000. and the problem is, is that the most of this is learns meeting that countries having to pay back higher debts. and so when it comes to paying for the loss of damages, not the conversation, but i think most of the 4 countries i'm optimistic about, you're saying that some of the pledges have not been kept in the past. are what

good are these climate conferences if their pledges are regulated not kept the pledges from world leaders from the one hand, you can clearly say that, well, these are under great pressure to make commitments, which they can then be held accountable to at home. we do see some of that, we see some companies, business of political leaders feeling pressure to commit to things. and once they've commitments are written in the negative pressure for them to follow through on them. now obviously requires journalists and other members of society holding these company, the company becomes accountable. and if we see time and time again, these companies and governments are breaking promises. so a lot still to be done, we'll be talking more. i know in the, in the next hour says the conference gets under way urgent. ron john from our climate desk now to ukraine, where the military is welcoming the arrival of new western air defense systems. the latest weapons have been supplied by norway, spain, and the united states ukraine's defense minister alexei resonate call announced on

monday that the 1st delivery of advanced na sounds and spied systems would significantly strengthen the ukrainian army. he said the weapons would help protect ukrainian energy infrastructure, which has been repeatedly targeted by russian missiles and drones and recent weeks . nick connelly as our correspondent in kia earlier, he told me more about the western air defense systems that have been arriving, and ukraine and how important they are for the country. this is currently the kind of area of support that ukraine's government says is the most crucial is about protecting steve's like here where i am now sometimes hundreds of clumps away from the front lines that have been hit time time again over the past month by those russian rocket and drone attacks and lots of the systems been promised months ago and, and our only, you know, as winter draws and finally being delivered in the 1st kind of consignments. and we don't have much information about exactly how many have so far, rich ukraine,

the u. s. had promised 8 systems 8 better than us ams, and then spain had promised these italian built espied a system router, a bit older, bit less technologically advanced, but had they wanted it, it's more, at least it's believed to be that there are more of these around in europe and they could be easily if it proves to be success delivered later, is all about preventing this damage to ukraine's infrastructure that really has left hundreds of 1000 means. the people at risk are very, very cold winter with his repeated attacks on the energy system. on the heating plants. we heard just a few hours ago from the head of the a company that deals with gifts heating that if russia's, it holds back from further tax on ukraine's power station that within 2 weeks they could kind of restore electricity supply right now we have 3 for our power cuts every day in care of so basically, other 2 weeks needed. but i think very few people here believe that russia is going to somehow suddenly stop these attacks given how badly they're doing on the battlefield. now russia has been lobbying dozens and dozens of missiles and drones

at ukraine over the past few weeks. will these new deliveries of weapons do much to protect ukraine's vital infrastructure? neck was some of these are, it has be said, very expensive weapons. so the question is, is it really worth, you know, firing a missile that can cost to attend that hundreds of thousands of dollars or euro's at a target like he would like an iranian drone, that costs 10 to $20000.00. there's that can be economic calculations you made. i think the really important thing to in mind here is that busy, no western country has fought a war on this scale in decades. and you've got to think here the ukraine's fighting on frontline is more the 1000 clumps is long cities far away from the front lines being attacked. so basically a lot of territory needs to be protected covered by the system. so some of them probably will be held back for more serious attacks by ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and that's why ukraine engineers right now, a scrambling to come up with their own solutions to deal with drones. coming up,

some people have seen pictures, video on social media of ukrainian police, ukrainian military firing drones with machine guns and sometimes using slightly more high tech systems. but broadly, it's about finding a solution that is adequate, and that costs the same amount of money to what the russians are spending on sending these drones here. we've heard from followed him zalinski the president who said that he thinks that russia is building up a big supply of those iranian drones. just about a 100 kilometers away from here in belarus. ready to send a huge swarm of drones to attack key of an issue there is of see, you can, you know, fairly easily knocked down these drones. but if there are so many at the same time, it might be impossible to get them all so sense here that yes, this is very welcome, but it doesn't solve the problem and you kind of feel very, very vulnerable at a time or temperature dropping and lots of people really asking themselves if it is safe to stay here and give nick, thank you so much as always our correspond nikia nick currently there in q. ukraine's neighbor belarus is playing

a crucial role in this war. the russian president vladimir putin used the territory barouche, his closest, military and political ally as a staging ground for his february invasion. russian forces have launched missiles and drones and to ukraine from bearers, since put in some measure began. last month, the government in t have boosted its forces in the north, near belarus to counter possible future attacks from across the border of earlier i spoke to bella luce, opposition leaders at le, taken off sky, who was forced into exile in 2020. i asked her how she feels about russia using her country to launch attacks on ukraine. ah, not on the one hand, of course, we are feeling so sorry for explanation that they have to fight. not only for their own land, they are fighting for the whole democratic ward at the moment and the bravery they show. it's something unbelievable. they showed the example to all the countries and

all the people how people are ready to, to fight for democratic failures. and the other hand, i understand that my motherland and my billers is used by a put in the army, you know, tool a take a create from our side, but it's not boilers and people who are support and put in all this will its own little question this regime, thanks to put in the question, can managed to stay in power in 2020 and since then he has to fulfill all the orders of portland. but i know that bill or some people are opposing to the war and 90 percent of the reasons i guess, but dissipation, or for those sent troops in this war against ukraine. and that they are resistant. they are a showing x. so for disobedience or x of sabotage to help the koreans as much you can in our, in the atmosphere of terror in our personal cancer. so we'll cachemba is on the side of the war burlison's on this side of ukrainian people. and i asked the world

to distinguish those in the regime and burson people. but alexander lucas shanker is indeed right now for better for worse, the leader of better rows. do you expect better roost under his leadership to become even more involved in the war? i know, i know that in a bilson, i mean there were snow onto korean and there were some, i mean, doesn't want to participate in this war. of course we realized that question because it just to show later, to put and he has to fulfill the orders. but he also understands that the given the order to our i need to participate in this what you to the political suicide for him. because there is no support, there are some population of this war and it for sure. and this the believe even

more rated this belie situation in our country. so i see that lucas and cannot, is trying to balance, you know, but not because he's thinking about crane or, you know, terry in ukraine killings weapons but he thinks on about his own power. you have made it clear that a belarus under your leadership would support ukraine, but what are you doing right now? you and other veterans to support you credit so at the moment we can't just do like a lot in bill or was because as i said, for 2 years, people are living in the atmosphere or fear and terror and repressions in our country. but despite of these, you know, people are trying to, to do something, some small steps in a, in the a, b, s p, a, people. they are like our spice in billers. they're providing information about

movement or fresh and troops of launching messiah or for any movement. so for russian equipment through our territory. and they given this information to a crane army, amanda who has started a verse and people im sorry, a believer just having a 80. it made a t x of some additional relay to social don ration that can go into a crane, and i'm sure if and there will be more situations when our pot is on school, the show they efficiency, they will do this also our simon papers and get information from, from a railway station about movement of a show loans with ration, equipment or ami, and send again, this information to it. crane are also we are trying to fight

with bill, resend parisian propaganda. because a propaganda and bill was, they read to read the message that ukrainians our enemies that they want to attack us. and that's why they have to justify the prison. so fresh and troops on our territory. and our task is to explain to bills and people what's going on that it will be, it will be like fantastic if biller cents, vio, county, or craniums. now you're in stroudsburg for the inaugural meeting of the council of europe's contact group on bruce. we see the european flag behind you. do you think that your country will be in the european union as a member one day though, for sheila we are. we want a more europe in bella rows and more dealers in europe. and of course, we are now making this 1st steps as

a contact group in consulate hero to make the other was a full member of counsel. here in the future. of course, we are not in the democracy at the moment. we will be on the path to eat. so be, have to walk in advance, and it's very good opportunity to look at to start collaborating to create events, to develop ideas, projects, or solutions at this very moment. and it will support that constant communication between the bill or sends and their counsel if europe. thank you so much shots, but the not taken off sky the bell, russian opposition leader in exile. thanks for talking with us today. it's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. china has lashed out of the u. k. over a british minister visit to taiwan. beijing denounced the trip by trade policy

minister greg hands and urged the u. k. to stop all official exchanges with time will try to claim the island as its own territory and has threatened to take it by force. media reports say facebook's parent company meta is planning to lay or thousands of employees. the plans follow recent job cuts by other major tech firms in the face of rising inflation in lower advertising revenues. better employes, more than 80000 people worldwide, where apple has warned of low shipment and built a low shipment rates and delivery delays for the new iphone 14 after it's factory was hit by covert 19 locked downs in china, causing it to operate at a reduced capacity customers will have to wait longer than expected for new products with one day to go before the u. s. mid term elections. a final campaign pushes underway, seats and both chambers of congress are up for grabs. as well as governor,

as well as governorships and city may oral offices present. joe biden has been campaigning in new york where the states democratic governor kathy harkell is facing a type race against a republican rival. how many former president donald trump was calling on crowds in florida? his front republican candidates in tuesday's shop? well, more than 8000000 young americans between the ages of 18 and 19 are getting ready to vote for the 1st time. experts say they're less motivated by party and 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 and 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 may, could for a decision for the climate. aiden is also a student in a 1st time booter. 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 product he's involved with left, middle, with bright, touching. 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 gnc. i'm from l. his work there means he talks with many people, his age tankers, 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 right views. 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 if 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 named. they're tied on to, to be issues. first time voters in the u. s. have seen the 2 party system produced

chaos and a stalemate. while real life issues they care about become increasingly urgent. so young people who 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. john holzman is a geo political risk consultant and columnist. i asked him earlier whether he thought the boats of young americans would play a significant role in the mid terms. that's the big if question and the, the simple answer is no. that according so far to the looking at mail and ballot so very imperfect way to look. but the numbers are off in 2020 the youth vote was absolutely instrumental and biden winning half of the youth actually voted this. this is always been the dream of the democrats because despite a report to out of 3 young voters, no democratic, they never show up and they did in 2020. and so the big question was, would they this time again?

and so far the answer seems to be no, i think precisely because of your report, it's issue oriented. and the number one issue overwhelmingly, in the selection, 51 percent on the last cnn, paul, is the economy and inflation and their republicans are simply schooling. the democrats, or what about abortion rights or climate change? mean, these are issues that young people are also concerned about. are they not? they are, but again, they don't track the 51 percent. abortion is 15, and i think there's going to be a huge post mortem for the democratic party because overwhelmingly average american support democrats over abortion rights. but if that's not the number one issue that motivates you to vote in by 19 points, you support the republicans over the economy, who cares? and by putting all their eggs in the basket of roe v wade, i think the democrats of missed the reality. they're living in a bubble. most people care about the worst cost of living crisis in the united states and 40 years full stop and whether they're old, middle aged, or elderly. okay, so it's the economy. now the political divide, john, in the us,

it's been extremely deep. our young voters to day less polarized are more polarized enrolled or counterparts. i think they're less polarized because they don't have this traditional kind of tribal is view of who to vote for. and then for all this talk about woke people identifying only by how you look or what group you're in. i do think when you look at pulling that young people care about the issue. so if you tailor a campaign around the issues, i think that you would get somewhere with him. i was very interested in your report that the young guy said, well, you know, on climate i'm with the democrats, but on economics and with the republicans. i mean, that puts in with the vast majority of the country, but if you can begin to make arguments, seeing people on the issues and not what they look like, i think we'd all do rather better. do you think that the candidates in the selection for congress and also in the, in the state elections are taking the youth considerations seriously?

i think they are because again, last time in 2020 it was, it was a narrow election 50 to 48 for biden. and the youth voted half, it's usually about a 3rd and half of the youth, 18 to 29 year olds, coming out to vote shocked. everybody including the democrats. and so trying to keep that going is important and trying to cut into that advantage is what the republicans do. so i think that indeed people do care what they have to say because they show they actually would go out to vote if they vote less. of course people will care less. that's our democracy works. john, thank you so much. is always john, husband, there pleasure. sports now and in the been asleep when you and berlin had been knocked off the top spot by after a punishing defeat on sunday by previously struggling leave. her cousin, the rolls were very much for burst in this encounter with 5 unanswered goals. flying in ah lay the crews and fans expected far more from their attain this season
