3:02 am
[000:00:00;00] ah, 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 enough. when today's 8 year olds become tomorrow's 80 year old, what kind of world will they live in? today the head of the un offered a prediction and it is the opposite of heaven. i'm break off in berlin. this is the day. ah,
3:03 am
we are on the highway to climate tell we though it foot steep on the accelerator. we're talking and we're starting to act. but we're not doing enough. i don't believe it is justice to the young generation when our revising leg up, when he said we are in the fight of all lives and we are losing, we have a credibility problem. all of us is he just is put the was need, is teaches preference of a life. god has set before humanity, a choice between blessings and curses between life and death. humanity has a choice, corporate or fatty also coming up on the eve of midterm elections in the united states, a confirmation of russian meddling. it is another wild card that makes predicting the election outcome
3:04 am
a gamble at best. i think what's really amazing about this midterm election is that we actually don't know. midterms have been pretty easy to predict. fir, really the last 100 years in this country, which is when one party has the white house and they have congress. it's a pretty terrible mid term for them. and the reality is right now this midterm is a jump ball which you, our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with climate change and growing demands to show me the money. in shallow shake egypt world leaders are convening for the cop 27 meeting on climate change and high on the agenda. who bears financial responsibility for turning on global warming. the world's richest countries are responsible for most of the greenhouse gas is admitted in the last 2 centuries. and yet poor countries who have contributed only a fraction, they are most vulnerable right now to rising sea levels in extreme weather. can
3:05 am
there be climate justice in the babble to limit climate change? now that is the $100000000000.00 question that is still waiting for a firm answer. and it is a similar story when it comes to reducing c o. 2 emissions today, the head of the un warned, in very stark terms, what we are doing as we drag our feet on turning commitments into actions. we are in the fight of all lives and we are losing greenhouse gas emissions. keep growing, global template ships keep rising, and our planet is fast approaching, peeping points depth will make climate scales you reversible. we are on the highway to climate tell we though it foot still on the accelerators. we are getting dangerously close to the point of no return humanity as the choice corporates are petty's it is i that a climate solely that it the beck but
3:06 am
a collective suicide. beck and one single certain those that give up assured to loose so let's fight together and let swing for the 8000000000 members of all human family and for generations to come. thank you. my 1st guess tonight is d pion boss who re he is the head of engagement at climate outreach. that's a group of experts trying to get the message out about the danger of climate change and he joins us tonight from sean l shake in egypt, where the cops when he 7 climate change summit is taking place. it's good to have you with us to night. let me ask you about the money. a wealthy countries have promised and failed to give a $100000000.00 to poor countries that they promised to do by the year 2020. uh, with that in mind, what does that tell us then about the most important issue and that is countries
3:07 am
commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions? are we simply dealing with empty promises there as well? good evening and thank you very much for, for having me here. look, i think when we're talking about this question, a lot of it has to boil down to political mandate. we know climate reaches, research has shown us that something like 58 percent of young out of all across europe. have a firm belief that, you know, richard country should be compensating for a country on better facing lots of damage. so there is a mandate on a growing political mandate in countries around the world, particularly in the richer countries where the need is recognized. and that financing needs to be critical for making those changes, but the changes don't just need to happen in the developing world. we have to change our own behaviors and our own patterns or consumption and so on,
3:08 am
in the northern and western countries as well. so it's a bit of a 2 pronged issue that people are dealing with. and so it's not so much empty promises, but more making sure that everybody is along on the same journey. and that's one of the reasons why climate reach focus is so much on participation as a keep that unbox all of these questions. but well, that, that's part of the problem we have right now is that everyone on the planet doesn't necessarily feel that they are on the same journey. that, that sense of solidarity is not complete. well, i mean in one sense, and i think where the sense of solidarity as you put it is incomplete is, is the strategies, right? i think everybody around the world has a sense that something has fundamentally changed and what we call a climate change. whether we use scientific terminology or whether people just have a sense of the world around them changing, it's a very, very deeply understood change. it creates
3:09 am
a lot of the issues that we're trying to grapple with and all of these issues are multi layer. and so the question is therefore, how do we bring people into that equation? how do we bring everyone along? how do we increase public awareness? how do we increase ways in which policies that are created to tackle these issues are inclusive of all of the parts of our, of our policies of our people. and i want to ask you also about an issue a year ago that people did not think we would be dealing with right now. and that is the russian invasion of ukraine. suddenly you have particularly european countries now worried about energy security when they would prefer to be talking about energy sustainability. talk to me about how this war is impacting what you're hoping to see happen right there in charm of shake. well, i mean it's, it's pretty obvious, isn't it how, how, how much are, is everyone longing for those renewables that have already been brought on mine?
3:10 am
and i think that's the fascinating element of coming out of all the s on tragedy is that there, there is going to have to be a bigger focus now on renewables on countries ability to generate and replace those fossil fuels with far more sustainable methodologies for producing the energy that we need and of shifting our, our kind of economies to a much more sustainable model of economics and of consumption and production. so i definitely think this is accelerated, the pace with which we talk about renewables with which we talk about sustainability. absolutely. and when you look at the list of world leaders who are attending cop 27, i think the list of the people who are not coming up, i think that says a lot as well. i'm thinking of the leaders of india, china, as well as russia width widths. these key players, when we're talking about c o 2 emissions,
3:11 am
not there. how much real progress than can we expect? well let's, let's not forget the fact that progress is you put it is actually happening at a national level. and in fact, no one was expecting india to make such big commitments last year at cop and these processes take time. and the leaders obviously are here for a splash. they make a few statements, but the real work is done by their, their, their, their teams. it's an expert in negotiators who have attended all of the cops and have made progress to where we are. and it's incremental progress, i grant you that. but he said incremental progress in building on it bit by bit by bit. so the momentum that we generated off when 6 hopefully hasn't been lost or whether or not the leaders are, are, are all here. that is part of the political a question mark you right? i'm however, the real work, the work of rolling up your sleeves and getting into it and, and, and trying to find out those kind of, you know,
3:12 am
meaningful lasting solutions that's happening on the ground. we see it all over the top 27 venue. and what about countries have been taking place in egypt? this is the 1st time that we've had a climate change take place in the middle east. i think if my math is right here in, in a decade, what does this do for the people in egypt? i mean, egypt is dealing with not only that, the food crisis, but they're also dealing with the impact of climate change. indeed, and one of the key elements here that is really important to grapple with is the fact that because this is now, this conference is happening in egypt. it allows civil society. it allows a conversation with the public to happen, whether you like it or not, that conversation will happen. and that is really part of that, the, the, the unlocking that we need to happen in society so that individuals, communities, families, all talk about climate change,
3:13 am
all understand what the impacts are on their day to day lives. the decisions that they make. and that will start to happen. it was an incredible catalyst for conversation in the u. k. last year. and it does so in each country that that hosts the, the, these big annual meetings. and that's the hope here is that people understand there are power in the process. and that people then are brought into the decision making process by governments and at all levels, right? at the national level, at the local level, at the regional level and, and brought into understanding and identifying all those critical solutions that we need dpi on a bus array from climate outreach. joining us tonight from chicago shake in egypt. we appreciate your time and your valuable insights to night. thank you. thank you very much. ah neil to russia's invasion of ukraine. the ukrainian military is welcoming the arrival of new western air defense systems. these latest weapons coming from norway, spain,
3:14 am
and the united states. and today, ukraine's defense minister announced that this latest delivery will help the army of ukraine to defend the country. he also said that these weapons will help protect ukraine's energy infrastructure. the energy grid which we know has been hit repeatedly in recent weeks by russian air strikes, dw, correspondingly karnley. he is in he, even, i asked him just how important these latest weapons, western defense systems really are. well, i certainly very welcome to been promised wrong 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's needed to protect this country. or this after all award is being fought on the scale, bigger than anything that any western country is for in decades front lines of over a 1000 kilometers and cities,
3:15 am
hundreds of almost away from those front lines routinely being hit. so there's 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 are bit older. it's kind of more seventy's eighty's and they are short range. but this is all very welcome there is obsolete or worried that this is too much too different kit. there's no kit that come from germany. other kid coming from france, couple weeks of the cranium. he really sanctum, basically make do with all the kind of leftovers that 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. i mean, the energy grid, for example, 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
3:16 am
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, they can be more attempts. so don't 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 you w me connelly with the ladies tonight from keith's nick as always, thank you. oh, they replaced an inflection point. one of those, ma'am. one of those mom which now comes along every several generations. democrats went to tune america into communist cuba or socialist them as well. oh, sure. and facts. and why g m reason? and they said the sincere and the balance democracy fell through, gone the ballot for and i had never for more strong
3:17 am
everything i worked for all my wife is all alone. these people just need to lose. they need to lose by a lot. they need to get the message. we will never be a socialist country. we will never be led by crazy people. you will not take us down the road of marxism. you will not destroy america. democracies will be on the ballot. this is a fine, a moment for the nation. i promise you, in the very next, very, very, very short period a day. you're going to be so happy. there you have a we are now just hours until voters in the us begin casting their ballads in mid term elections. we've got seats in both chambers of congress that are up for grabs, as well as governorships in state and local level offices. you as president biden, he ended campaigning in new york where the states democratic governor cathy hoko,
3:18 am
she's facing a tight race against her republican rival and in florida. and you saw a fair former us president donald trump. he made his pit for those candidates that he has endorsed. will any of this make a difference? we've got team coverage tonight on the mid terms for you. i'm joined by our correspondence in his poll. she is in phoenix, arizona, and my colleagues who museum has gone to she is on capitol hill in washington dc to both of you. good to see both of you exciting time. so i don't have to tell you that to me, let me start with you. american politics we can save certainly are as polarized today as they were 2 years ago during the last election. can this mid term election can do anything to, to change that? and i mean, there, we say that things will get worse. you know, grant, it was just really a little over a year and a half ago that we saw president biden take the oath of office. and in his inaugural speech, he promised to unify the country, bring people together after such deep divisions. after we saw that riot of the capital on january 6 after we saw a lawsuit and several states contesting election results. and i think it's safe to
3:19 am
say that has not really happened. my d. w colleagues and i have been criss crossing the country speaking to voters and they are deeply divided along partisan lines, long class lines socio economic lines also religious lines. and i think nothing exemplifies that. more to me, brent than the issues that matter to voters. if you speak to republican voters, top of the mind for them is economy. that's really shorthand for inflation. it has been a bruising economic year for many americans. and that is something that's driving a lot of republicans in particular to the polls. then they discuss crime. we've seen a branch of ads from republicans talking about crimes and democratic strongholds that there's been a surgeon crime by the way. the statistics don't really bear that out. and then a culture wars issue, things like what kids are being taught in schools. if you talk to democratic voters, however brent, of course, the economy is important to them as well, especially blue collar voters. but there you really see the issue of abortion driving a lot of voters to the polls, especially young women. remember,
3:20 am
it was just a summer that the supreme court overturn roe v wade. and the 2nd issue, brent is democracy, protecting democracy and message we've heard from president biden and to major speeches and recent months. so when we get the feeling that voters really are talking past each other on this crucial issues, your question could things get worse? well, if you have a republican controlled congress after these midterms and president bang in the white house, it could be a very difficult 2 years ahead. yeah. that yeah, that's a mild way of describing it. it seems like to the ghost of the last presidential election is still with us in it's, you know, about this, you're, you're there in arizona which has been called ground 0 and for conspiracy theories about rig elections, i want you to consider what we're hearing from the republican gubernatorial candidate in arizona, cherry lake, take a listen to what she's been sick. number 2, i want to make sure we have honest, secure elections that we can all have trusted actually, i'm glad that you know how many of you, i mean, give me
3:21 am
a round of applause. if you feel that we need to make some changes to our election so that you can fully trust the elections, let the media media, let the media hear it in his care really. she used to do what we did. she, why didn't she used to be a t v news anchor. now she is demonizing. the news me with that in mind. give me a sense of what it's like there in arizona to be a journalist trying to cover these mid term elections. the i, it's weird, it's strange and sometimes it's frightening, not only in arizona brand when we assume it just a said like traveling the country and we are this trump rallies or we are at rallies. mercury lake herself is speaking and they pointing to you and they shouting to the media to the fake news. it feels difficult and sometimes it really feels frightening when you see in the audience proud boys are really
3:22 am
a very aggressive crowd. it makes it sometimes hard, really to do our job. but on the other hand, brand, i'm just coming back from appalling station in maricopa county. this is her 60 percent more than 60 percent of the arizona invalid. i will take place and are we talked to warder or people who are kind of taking care that everything goes well and they were so happy there were so pleased had to talk to media. so i think that is what we have to put into consideration when people shouted about us, we shouldn't kind of leave our trash to really report from on the ground. we shouldn't be led by fear or by anger. we just have to go out there, talk to americans to northern americans and let them explain what is going through their mind and what is going on and in this country. so it makes it maybe a little bit more difficult, but maybe just her as important as it ever has been to work as a journalist, a journalist on the ground. and you know, you should talk about what's going through people's minds. i think that would
3:23 am
include for some americans, former us president donald trump. i'm. he has been loud and proud. i'm in recent days dropping a not so subtle hint about his plans after these mid term elections. take a listen to what he's been, say. i ran twice, i want to, i said i did much better the 2nd time that i did the her getting millions and millions more votes in 2020 that we got in 2016. and likewise, getting more votes than any sitting present in the history of our country by far. and now, in order to make our country successful, safe and glorious, i will probably have to do it again, but they are to me, what are you hearing me know what donald trump is, is saying, are we about to see donald trump run for the white house of 2nd,
3:24 am
tod brant, that's the question that we've really been asking for several months now. and, you know, this question, will he, won't he really, the question that i think should be asked is, when will it happen? because this is a hint and not so subtle hints, as you said, that he's been delivering in several speeches in raleigh, across the countries, particularly in republican strongholds. and you know, republican observers and commentators praised the president recent days for not announcing his candidacy for 2024 before these midterm elections. there was a fear in the republican party that if he would do so, he would steal the thunder from these republican candidates because again, the republicans are favored to win the house of representatives, possibly the senate as well. that's looking more and more likely. so there was a fear that he would step in their way. we haven't had an at that announcement just yet. but brent, i think it is safe to say that donald trump isn't particularly focused on these midterm elections. he has focused on his chances to become president again in 2024 . that is top of his agenda. so we are likely to be him announced
3:25 am
a very soon whether that's going to happen before the midterms or after. we'll have to wait and see. i think it is more likely we've heard from good source as you're in washington that that will happen after the midterms. but we are certainly looking out for that announcement to happen at any point in this. what are you hearing there in arizona? you know, you've been traveling through the bush or the country as well, or people mentioning donald trump. oh, it's all about donald trump. i mean, he's not in the bella, but i totally agree with to me, it is about him. and of the republicans war when big time in his mid terms. i also think he will announce soon and why is that also he know he has some competitors in his own party like run the sanders or the governor who runs again in florida. i so he might just as well get a foot in the door and we just talked about carrie lake, many people not only here in arizona. we also heard that had rallies in pennsylvania or in the ohio where we just had been a 2 weeks ago. they would love donald trump to run for president and have kerry
3:26 am
lake as his vice president. so all in the air, we might know as soon or more after the midterm. and then we might actually really hear donald trump announcing that he's running again for president in 2024. let me just ask you before we run out of time up in the man known as white, i'm your proteins chef admitting to day that russia has and continues to metal in us elections that is explosive at face value. is it important to the voters? well, you know, there is so much distrust in the electoral system and that's a huge success of the, of donald trump and his administration to spread lies to spreads. the, the idea that all the media reports are fake news. to be quite frank out here the further away from washington. no, this is not really in voters minds. and so me got 20 seconds. what are you hearing
3:27 am
there in washington? i mean, it is explosive. the reports we're getting today for and i can say quickly, i think election officials are worried of course, as in as that importantly the trust in election systems and election the way elections administered are administered here is very important. but it doesn't seem that voters are as concerned. okay. in his poll in phoenix, arizona submitted miscounted there in washington. the both of you. thank you. we will be talking with you a what between now and the next 2448 hours. going to see both of the day is done, but the conversation continues online. you'll find it on twitter either. at the w news, you can follow me on twitter at rent. gov tv, and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day joined us tomorrow. for our complete coverage of the us, mid term elections,
3:28 am
see that with a kick off. what's going on here with
3:29 am
a link day are good questions. you can find the answers here. all the games, all the goals. the point is the highlights. d w a can actually end up harming the climate. why? this is subject to any laws or regulations the truth behind climate neutrality. 60 minutes on d w. o.
3:30 am
you become a criminal pre colonial, already know who's with hackers, paralyzing the tire societies. computers that i showed you and governments that go crazy for your data, we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. ah, he sees just in the history books. it is very much part of us
