ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin to night. a stark warning for a world dragging its feet on climate change to the clock is ticking. we are in the fight of our lives and we are losing the head of the un and other world leaders are in egypt for the cop 27 climate. so me top of the agenda, compensation for countries already suffering. the effects of

a warming planet also coming up tonight will meet a russian woman who once worked inside the country's defense ministry. why did she flee the country and then decide to seek asylum here in the european union. and on the eve of the u. s. mid term elections, record numbers of young people are preparing to cast their votes. for the 1st time . ah, i'm bring up is good to have you with us on this monday and we begin to night with what we are doing about climate change. world leaders are gathering for climate talks in egypt at the you ends cop 20 sub and some at all this week. and they are facing formidable challenges at this year's conference with country seeking to limit the rise of global temperatures to no more than one point. 5 degrees celsius

leave isthmus now find common ground to take action amid geopolitical turmoil. and of course, we don't have to tell you a spiraling energy crisis in his welcoming remarks to day, the un secretary general, he struck a very somber tone. these un climate conference is that he mind 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 template ships keep rising and our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate scales. you reversible, we are on the highway to climate, tell we though it foot still on the accelerators. that was the head of the human speaking there. we've got team coverage of this week's climate conference. our correspondence has, or she is on the ground at those climate talks. she joins us now and also with me

here in the studio is angie the runs on from d w's environment desk to both of it's good to have you with us. and let me start with you, the german chance are all off a short. he is there a chancellor who has been preoccupied with energy security, going to show our mail shake and talk about energy sustainability. how did that work out for today? well yeah, well i so it's the devin chancellor is indeed done. a very tricky mission is having to convince the international community that germany is still being serious is still being earnest about aids ambition to be a role model when it comes to climate protection. the cause of cause of the past couple of months. he has been trying to just get as much energy as possible from anywhere at really he's been traveling around the world to replace those russian energy supplies. and of course, germany is currently still investing in fossil fuels. much more than planned. so websites has to convince the international community that gemini,

still being very serious. and this is just an transitional phase where germany just happens to be in a serious crisis and has to find quick solutions. but at the same time wants to invest in things like green hydrogen. so this is the path that he's on. and he has a couple of concrete projects here. in this case, with him in huntington beach, as view of germany has been seen around the world as being a leader when it comes to green energy. is that the role that it's still taking now that germany is a big polluter and has always been a big move to the very i have countries in the entire world who bear more responsibility of having heat with the planet and made is heat with coastal floods stronger and more likely. and sir, me even today is not putting in policy. this current government has not put in policies that will cut emissions fast enough to even meet its own goals, loves the findings of the expert committee,

but the government itself is put up and analysis by this independent research group . climate action tracker has rated its commitments and as current policies as insufficient. so germany does have a big role to play because it is one of the biggest, polluted and particular have big industries. if it can manage the carbon id of industry quickly, could bring down costs for the entire world. yeah. which brings up a good point. it needed a germany does have this problem right. of going to show my shake and seeming like the country that says to the rest of the world, do as we say, not necessarily. as we do, but a being told, we're going to cross over down to the german chancellor. he is speaking. let's listen it. excellence, excellency. let's gentlemen russia, brutal war against ukraine as challenging the european and international peace

order in a fundamental way. it's impacts are felt globally by prices for energy and food that are shooting up. but there is another thing that this war of russia makes very clear to us that transition to renewable energy sources and saving fossil fuels. this is not only a necessity in forward looking climate, economic, and environmental policy. it is also an imperative in terms of security policy. all this adds even more urgency to the pivotal task of our times that is limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. every 10th of a degree less than global warming means feel at routes and floods. fewer conflicts about resources fewer failed harvest and less hunger and therefore more security and prosperity for all our goal is firstly to reach agreement here and chamalle

chic on a robust were program for it reducing emissions about program that includes concrete steps for reductions to close the implementation gap that is still wide open today, only then can we make sure to reach the global peak of greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 at the latest, and almost half emissions by 2030. secondly, we saw the states that am a most affected by climate change, but have contributed least to it rightly demand more international solidarity. we stand ready to support them even more. in the last 3 years, germany has increased public funding for international climate financing by more than a 3rd to reach 5300000000 euros in 20. 21 is

for the 1st time, almost about half of that money was flowing into measures that help states it to adapt to new climate conditions. also in the future, we are striving for a well balanced ratio between financing for emissions reductions and climate adaptation. by 2025, we will expand our public funding for international climate financing to 6000000000 euros a year. and in parallel to this, we will mobilize additional private funds. so the book will also support those countries hit hardest by climate change in a targeted way in dealing with loss and damage. as do 7 presidency together with the vulnerable 20. we want to establish a global shield against climate risks for this is observable, the theme of is it for this shield and climate risk funding. germany makes available 170000000 euros. it is important to address if i lose the climate

and the biodiversity crises together. this is why will increase our contribution to the protection of biodiversity in the framework of international climate financing . but to 1500000000 years a year by 2025 with. thirdly, didn't we, our family committed to our national climate goals by 2045 germany. we live bug, but will become climate mutual as one of the 1st industrialized nations. and we want to reach that goal within the european union. by 2015, we will face out fossil fuels. without any if and bots, there must not be an international renew, thousands of fossil fuels. and for germany, i can say that won't go yes. once we'll do all the marshes, crucial war of aggression against you. great ukraine forces us to use of coal fired power plants again for

a short period of time. but we are family committed to phase out cold. only a few days ago. we therefore decided to shut down some of our coal fired power plans even earlier than had previously been planned for us. it is clearer than ever that the law, when power, solar energy and green hydrogen, that is the future on your path to that future. germany is offering you partnership, and that is my 4th and last point. by, for example, developing the brides and scaling up the technology is allowing citizens world wide to live in prosperity without harming the climate. use to you this go little bit, but of a world wide cooperation in the transformation of our industries is also at the heart of an open and co operative climate club. ornstein gabriella, of the garage is 7, has laid the foundation for that. is it about, but i, li, climate club is open to all who going to more forward together without or in

a climate neutral remodeling of our economies. and especially our industry, one of amazon, that is angelica mania, not let me, but more the more ambition, a more corporation from old. again, the transition to renewable energy sources. that is the need of the, our hands on a lot of them. the kent. oh, sam commitment was to climb as protection must of course be followed by a robust action data that we will be judged by our own actions. and that is, watch how much shake is about. thank you very much. thank you. your excellent feel speaking and jermel, shake it up when you sell been climate change conference? let's pull and nina has a she is travelling with the german chancellor. neither the transfer said what many people expecting him to say, and that is we're going to meet our goal of stopping the use the fossil fuels. and he said, we're going to do that despite the energy crisis that we're in right now because of

the war in ukraine. that's a, that's a talk, a tall promised to sell right now isn't it is indeed, and that's definitely the most important challenge for germany. germany that is always considered itself to be a role model when it comes to fighting climate change and global warming. but of course, and also just this role of keeping the issue on the agenda or on the international agenda, even if the homework wasn't necessarily always done as would have been necessary at home. but all episodes has these concrete proposals whereby he wants to convince people worldwide and international partners that to the germany is being serious, is being honest. just to mention the global sealed, which is some sort of a, an insurance for the country's most affected. where if a catastrophe is a natural disaster occurs, then it isn't an bureaucratic way of actually getting help and getting money on the

table into the bank accounts of those countries affected it there. but what we're seeing here, this 170 because of 170000000000 euros going into this global shield that they're describing, is that an example of the wealthy countries putting money out there to help 4 countries, the war more vulnerable right now to climate change, it is, but if not, what the poor countries are asking for this 100 of them to 1000000 will not be nearly sufficient to pay all kinds of the damages from. and if you saw the images of pakistan underwater, the joy of wrecking, and this is on a completely different order of magnitude, what it does show and what maybe we'll gain germany some good credit in these negotiations. if it is willing to put some money forward and an un bureaucratic process to help people recover immediately after a disaster is something that would be beneficial to a lot of countries which are already really on the frontline of dealing with extreme weather events of been made was like running, fulfills

a sheet and needed to both of you and appreciate your reporting and analysis. here as we begin our coverage of the top $27.00 climate change conference in each thinking, one of the effects of climate change is more extreme weather patterns. consider what we're seeing in africa. some parts of the continent are suffering severe drought. other parts are experiencing heavy and frequent rainfalls, that describes nigeria. at the moment. a small town in the democratic republic of congo is also dealing with overflows from one lake, which happens to be one of the world's largest. the fishing communities. there are suffering from wumer water temperatures which are killing fish. and now the rising water levels and much lives are 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 live on the other side. all the people have fled when we don't know where to get help so that we can rebuild the what it was like, a thief. well, what i would want him. i look at all this closely, but i love what the result of a family back in busy, i've been living to one nightmare. tanganyika has destroyed us a little. what did i monet every day that i needed to find that in and funny. i. 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, reins 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 moms of them of the, of the lake tank 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, a distance and count met. oh, so really plausible for calamity residents each day has become unpredictable. the hope is that the global community will take note of it. and refer more of the issue of compensation for countries most affected by climate change. i'm joined now by dr . a mirror saw what she is programs and research director of climate outreach that is in geo. the tackles climate change or does always good to have. you are on the program we just heard from the german chancellor, germany is going to be contributing about a 170000000000 euros to the global shield. and that goes into line with what we're hearing at comp 27. we've got richer countries, promising to help is poor countries deal with the effects of climate change. is

this the progress that you'd like to see at this point? well, i think that you know, the people who sort of have the most important voice on this are people from countries on the front line. so obviously i'd be keen to hear from the, the people from those countries in the advocates. he's been calling for lawson damage finance for some time. and there's also the issue of historical pledge is being made that haven't been followed through on that disparity center. you know, we have a $100000000000.00 annual gold at rich countries is supposed to put money towards climate finance more broadly and was not reached at target yet. so there may be questions over the implementation of this, this financial, which is a major theme of got plenty 7. but i'd be very, very keen to hear from the countries on the front lines about how they feel about whether this is going to do enough for them and let it go through this year. regret

the biggest industrialized countries they are the biggest, are emitters of greenhouse gases, developing countries which known as the global self. they are the ones that at the moment are most vulnerable to climate change. why use this? yet? there's a long, historical trajectory for the emissions pathway. so the intergovernmental panel on climate change, which is all the scientists who get together and look at the evidence. and i'm a part of that. and there's a lot of debating and questioning of the evidence. so it's not just taken on face value, they got together and look to the evidence. and they said this time around that the evidence concretely shows that the history of colonial or colonialism has driven up emissions to where we are today. so that's why countries like the u. k, for example, in germany, that maybe now their emissions aren't as big as they used to be played a big part in driving up global warming to where it is today. and now it's those

countries who don't necessarily have the same level of g d, p, they don't necessarily have the same, they haven't had the same opportunities to develop a facing extreme weather which is damaging their infrastructure. so i was just looking at some examples of this, you know, in dominica and 2017 hurricane maria, destroyed the country up to a cost of 220 percent of their g d p. now that doesn't happen in countries that have had a longer time to develop, such as the u. k and germany. we do have those im not the same extreme level. so for many people it's very, very unfair that countries that have tiny emissions pathways and haven't contributed to the historical phenomena of global warming and now facing the massive consequences in want to build the notion of compensation for these vulnerable countries. there have there's been a $100000000000.00 i think you as dollars has been promised there's been promised

have been pay no $900000000000.00 has been promised to what's called climate finance, which is not the same kind of finances for helping countries to adapt to what's happening now it's the helping them to mitigate and reduce their emissions pathways . but what these countries on the front lines are asking for is additional compensation because there are inevitable losses and damages that we were a point scientifically where they just come knock out. there's nothing that we could do about some of these lawson damages at this level of warming. all say that 100000000000 hasn't been paid out according you know, it's not officially, not to target, but also analyses by acc, some and other organizations suggests that that still to a lack of transparency on, you know, how it ounce it basically. yeah. dr. mirrors are we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. we're now to russia's

invasion of ukraine. ukrainian military is welcoming the arrival of new western air defense systems, the latest weapons being supplied by norway, spain, and the united states. now ukraine's defense minister today announcing that the 1st delivery of advanced nozzles and awe speed systems would significantly strengthen the ukrainian army. he says that the weapons would help protect you. craney, ukraine's energy infrastructure, which has been repeatedly targeted by russian missiles in recent weeks. want to go now to our corresponding economy. he is in kiva contra of city, where they can tell us a thing or 2 about the energy infrastructure being hit. tell us about these western air defense systems. nick that had just arrived in ukraine. how important are they right now to the country? well, i certainly very welcome the been promised long time, another finally here, although we're not being told quite how many have reached key if so far of the

total number promised. and even the total sum promised is only a fraction of what is needed to protect this country. this after all award is being fought on a scale bigger than anything that any western countries for in decades front lines of over a 1000 kilometers and cities. hundreds of commerce away from those front lines routinely being hit. so those nasa rockets that are coming from the u. s. they used to protect the white house. they're pretty modern. they were developed nearly to thousands. they're kind of close to medium range and then the rockets coming from spain, they're bit older. it's kind of more seventy's eighty's and they are short range. but this is all very welcome. there is obviously a worry that this is too much too different kit. there's new kids that come from germany and other kids coming from france, couple weeks of the ukrainian army really thanked him, basically make do with all the kind of leftovers the western military is, have and a willing to part with. but it's definitely psychologically very important to think that there's something to deal with these attacks. they've left people feeling so vulnerable. nick, will these new deliveries of weapons will they do much to protect you grades vital

infrastructure amid the energy grid? for example, i'm particularly there in key. well, that's certainly the hope we heard today from one of the people in charge of that great. who said, if russia were to not send more weapons, not send more missiles than they could basically get things back to normal within space of 2 weeks. and lots of people i spoke to here were pretty appalled hearing that they saw that were kind of as a kind of invitation to russians to keep on bombing their techniques. dictation that can be more attempts, sometimes using drones to overwhelm those ad offenses. so definitely a sense that the worst is still to come as winter. now finally kind of breaks in w carly with the ladies tonight from keith. nick, as always, thank you. on this eve of the u. s. midterm elections, a final campaign push is under weight seats and book chambers of the u. s. congress are up for grabs this year, as well as governorships and city may oral offices. you as president joe biden. he spent the last these last moments campaigning in new york where the states

democratic governor cathy coke, life is facing a tight race against her republican ripeness. and the former us president donald trump. so he was calling on crowds in florida to support republican candidates. we received his endorsement was they would walk into marge, boat make more than 8000000 young americans between the ages of 18 and 19 are getting ready to vote for the very 1st time. experts say that they are less motivated by political parties and more by policies. 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 these 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 life now had to reduce our comm emissions by 1.5 degrees. and 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. 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 jen. see, i'm from his work there means he talks with many people his age, which came for 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 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 named their tied on to, to the 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 midterm election, even the united states are coverage will continue at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the date i proceed with with
