thanks to music. fetch the cello play out. well, i was the only one i'm super lucky. using under the swastika starts november 19th on d. w ah ah. this is dw news live at from berlin. tonight, a start warning for a world that is dragging its feet on fighting climate change. and the clock is ticking. we are in the fight, the whole lives and we are losing the head of the un and other will. leaders are in egypt for the compet 20. subbing climate, some at top of the agenda. compensation for countries already suffering. the

effects of a warmer planet. also coming up tonight, we will meet a russian woman who once worked inside the russian defense minister. why did she give it up? why did she flee the country and 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 vote for the very 1st top. ah, i'm bring, gosh, our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. as we begin on this monday with what we are doing about climate change, road leaders are gathering for climate talks in egypt at the you ends cop 27 summit . and they are facing formidable challenges at this year's conference with country seeking to limit the rise of global temperatures to just 1.5 degrees celsius.

leaders must now find common ground to take action amid geopolitical turmoil and a spiraling energy crisis. in his welcoming remarks to day, the un secretary general as he struck a very somber tone ticklish. 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 temperatures. 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, at strong words, they're coming from the head of the un joining me here now at the big table. the studio is my colleague, as the ranch on from d w's, environment desk. so as we heard right there,

the been secretary general saying that we are on a highway to climate hill. what is the most important or immediate problem that we're facing right now in terms of mitigating or slowing climate change? so what we're doing is to things make this planet more hostile to human life. we're burning fuels that release, planet, heating gases. we're spearing them out into the atmosphere and we're killing plants that could help sort them out again. and this has done to things that's made well, i mean, if someone main thing that huge, no complex, if he took the planet upon as 1.2 degrees celsius hotter than it was before. the industrial revolution that has made heat waves hot fur. it's made tropical site claims, vibe, growing most likely the growing weren't hensler and made coastal flood sea levels have risen so much like coastal floods the more likely to wash way home, what livelihoods and take human lives as well. so that's what's going on. and one of the biggest emitters of harmful greenhouse gases is germany and the german

chancellor spoke short while ago and sharma shape about this and about what germany is planning to do. and it's promising to do take a listen. a soft kind of them must not say of an international re nathan's of fossil fuels. and for germany, i can say that won't. yeah, yes. or slants botello, marcia's, brutal who have a question. i got a few great crane forces as well to you to pull fired health plans again for a short period of time. but we are family committed to phase town and come with only a few days ago. we therefore decided to cut you off. we have to shut down some of our co fired power plant even earlier than had previously been plant klatera. it is clearer than ever. that the light wind power, solar energy, and green hydrogen batches, the future dodge, we got the dervish answer there a chance or he's dealing with energy security. they are talking about energy sustainability. what role that at the moment is germany playing when it comes to

fighting climate change for germany has a very important role and kind of stopping all these extreme weather events getting was it's one of early it's there in 5 countries in the entire world with more responsibility by the heat of the planet. and even today, german emissions emissions of the average person in this country like you or i are about double the global average. so purely in terms of how much it's polluting the planet, it's got a big world play. but what it does have that maybe marks out as one of the few countries are in this position, is that it does have a government that's at least on paper. and i mean in law committed to di copper landing. it's kind of me. and one of the key factor than that will be sorting out big heavy industries. so things like the carbon, i think, cement production and steel production, doing all the things can bring cost down for the entire world. so by actions that take place in germany today, which the country that loves coal and cars and they can have huge knock on effect for the entire planet in germany, is pledging to enhance financial aid for countries for poor countries that are

already fueling the worst effects of climate change. why is that so important right now? so rich countries promised poor ones to about 100 exactly $100000000000.00 a year in climate finance. by 2020, they broke that promise. germany was actually one of the countries that did more than its fair share, relative to kind of missions, but that in time number with way less than we've actually needed. now at this climate summit, poor countries are asking not just for money to help them adapt to extreme weather and to clean up their energy grid. they're also asking for rich countries to pay for the loss of the damages from extreme weather event. that banning off fuels have already made was that the big tension point because it country ultimately do not want to pay up. and so do you think is realistic? get climate justice while we're trying to fight climate change. the shouldn't be much of attention with enough money in the global system to go round to adapt to climate change and to clean up energy grants. and what very clear kind of stresses

all the time when you speak to them, doing things to thought, climate change have benefits for everything. you stop running fossil fuel, they have less air pollution. people good hosp to less keep temperatures down and people are more productive at what all of the things financially there is the money to do. the question when it comes to paying for the damages is that red countries think that the damage is really will run into the trillions of dollars. yeah. and that's where they get good as he does always, we appreciate your reporting and your analysis. thank you. and to one of the effects of climate change is more extreme weather patterns on the african continent . for example, some hearts are suffering severe droughts. well, other parts are experiencing heavy and frequent rainfalls as the case right now. for example, in nigeria, a small town in congo is also dealing with overflows from one of the world's largest lakes. the fishing communities there are suffering from warmer water temperatures,

which are killing fish. and now the rising water levels and mudslides 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 calais, me have been displaced. what was going on as ab would have one you, bye. let i remember i'm here was a very nice house to play 5. 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. what it, what they like, you know, what they will, what the, what, what am i look at all this closely? but i live with us heavily back in busy. i've been living to one nightmare. tanganyika has destroyed us a little. what did i'm now young lady, emily? and i need to find out in a funny, i've tongue. anika 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, the 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 other marquee of lake tang janica, 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 distant count met o silly the plaza for calamity residents each day has become unpredictable. the hope is that the global community will take note of it. earlier i spoke with dr.

mira saba with climate outreach. that is an in g o aimed at tackling climate change . i asked her how significant it is that compensation for loss in damages is on the agenda of this cop 20 sub and some 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 that 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 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, 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 vis? 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, and germany that may be 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, but 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, the notion of, of compensation for these vulnerable countries. there have there's been what

a $100000000000.00 i think you as dollars has been promised. there's been promised have been pay no, no 100000000000 has been promised to what's called climate finance. so she's 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 line, the asking for is additional compensation because there are inevitable losses and damages that we wear a point scientifically where they just come knock out. there's nothing that we can do about some of these lawson damages at this level of warming. all say that 100000000000 hasn't been paid out according yet. it's not officially met the target, but also analyses by acc, some and other organizations suggests that that still to a lack of transparency on, you know how it's counted basically. yeah. dr. mirror is all we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. it now to russia's

invasion of ukraine, ukrainian military tonight, welcoming the arrival of new western air defense systems. the latest weapons coming from norway, spain, and the united states. today, ukraine's defense minister announced that this latest delivery weapons will significantly strengthen the ukranian army. he also said that the weapons will help protect ukraine's energy infrastructure, which has been severely damaged in recent weeks by russian air strikes, dw correspondent economy. he is in keep, and i asked him how important these western defense systems really are. well, i certainly very welcome. they've been promised for long time another finally here, although 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 chromos 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 no kit that come from germany. other kids coming from france, couple weeks of the ukrainian me 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 where they do much to protect you grades vital infrastructure amid the energy grid, for example, are particularly there in key. well, that's certainly the hope we heard today from one of the people in charge 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, we're pretty appalled hearing that they saw that were kind of as a kind of invitation to russians to keep on bombing their 2nd expectation that can be more attempts, sometimes using drones to overwhelm those ad offenses. so give me a sense that the worst is still to come as winter. now finally kind of breaks in it . obviously, carly with the ladies tonight from keith. nick, as always. thank you. it's nick there with the latest about what's going on inside ukraine. what about what's going on inside russia? in conjunction with the german show, contrast from the r b b network, d w news spoke to a russian doctor. now, she used to be loyal to the kremlin. she spent years working for the russian defense and interior ministries and the country's secret service. but 2 weeks ago, she decided to flee and seek asylum in france. we meet 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 for sure. so yours is also good. the, the, you, are you spelling of your live a royal beast, years on your education, on your profession. but you'll government does not even think about the paypal roles they are thinking about is themselves. do you know that the futon went and his entourage adjust criminal's band of the person who when 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 or on 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 you might said, but you know everyone is scared because every street protest and moscow is being stopped very quick and very brutal. d w in co operation with or b. b, cantata has been researching refugees from russia. we visited the founder of the human rights network, gallagher dot nes flooded mirror sash kin. in the north of france,

his mission is to collect eye witness reports on violence, torture, and corruption, and russian presence. 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 from the army, from the police, from prison, gods from private military companies. the amount is huge. in previous times, it was a message once in 6 months. and our sources were very cautious about their anonymity or when they didn't use their names. they registered email addresses on proton mail . now they're just playing got assess cane is helping maria to she didn't want to support the war. my girl, 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 baked tv stations. she says she wants the world to know, but not every one in russia supports putin politics and his bloody war on ukraine are loose. take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. a new round of talks has begun between ethiopians, government, and representatives from the countries northern tikrit region. the delegates are meeting in neighboring kenya to discuss plans for disarming rubble. groups after a peace deal were signed last week. authorities in india's capital deli say that primary schools will reopen this week after being closed due to severe air pollution fillies. air quality is rated as very poor with pollution levels many times above the world health organizations acceptable limits. we are just

hours away now from election day in the united states, mid term elections seats and both chambers of the u. s. congress are up for grabs, as well as governorships and other state level offices as president biden. he has been campaigning in new york where the states democratic governor cathy hoko, is facing a tight race against a republican rival. and former you as president donald trump's. he spent a past 24 hours calling on crowds in florida to support republican candidates with his endorsement watch of him tuesday. so treat everybody fairly, but they don't. more than 8000000 young americans between the ages of 18 and 19 are getting ready to vote for the very 1st time. this is a large group that's less motivated by political parties, more so 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 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 like 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 assume. huh. 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 jonesy. i'm from his work there means he talks with many people his age. thanks. 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. the young people aren't so tied down to parties themselves as 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. they're tied on to to be issues. first time voters in the u. s. have seen the 2 party system produce chaos and to still meet. 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. for more, nell is pulling our correspondence upon seamen t as in washington, i don't think stefan belongs to this. jen z group, i think is mccord the generation x. yeah. come off. yeah, that's what happens. we're getting older so far, but let, let's talk about the young people here. we saw what 8000000 of them are now eligible to vote for the very 1st time. in theory,

this could be enough to swing the outcome. it's a very tight raises, but the question we have to ask, which we ask every election will of these young people, will they turn out and vote yes, miss $1000000.00 crescent here, even from the perspective of an old person like me. because you know those 18 and 19 year olds, they showed up as a huge block this time around, even in pre registration and registration to be eligible to vote. right. and pop free or early voting numbers do not show that they are actually showing up in droves. and that has what party concerns the most democrats. why is that? because they need those younger voters, and these are not just the 18 and 19 year olds, but the 18 to 29 year olds, upholstered the politicians, the parties. and of course, the political scientists have that age group $18.00 to $29.00. determined as the youth vote, so to speak, and again, pre registration,

almost in 2018 historic levels, but pre or early voting, show up. not so good. so that's a problem for the parties. maybe has something to do with the fact. as we heard in the piece that young people, they walked on topics on themes and not on party. are you read? are you blue or a specific person or not? yeah, that's a very good point. and when it comes to the traditional political party affiliation and loyalty, young voters tend to be more like free agents. so. so what are the issues then that actually get their loyalty climate change? definitely it for the young people, a, a top topic or on par with economy for older people and everybody 29 or 30 and older. it's economy, economy, economy 1st and then maybe a gun control or abortion for many,

many women. but for the young crowd, it is for females, young females, abortion, and climate change for males, abortion, and climate change. so little to flip flop in the priority list to funds. he was there with the latest on this eve of the u. s. mid term elections. jeff, on as always. thank you. you look great for your age. thank you or to the w news live and drama. berlin after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day. stick around. we'll be right back with with

the meeting of the little moon whale sharks of the remote island of saint hulu is a testament to the quality of the islands waters. one of the many success stories from a bastion of biodiversity, saint own, starts november 18th on d w. hm . if you have children, 8 years old or younger, consider this every year since 2015, the past 8 years. have been the hottest ever recorded on our planet. that is the headline of a new report on global warming. and it comes just as world leaders gather in egypt to tell each other what they are doing to tackle climate change and the short answer not.
