ah, we ask why? because education makes the world more just i make up your own mind. d. w, made for mines. ah ah ah, this is dw, use life from berlin. cooperate or parish the head of the un issues a dial warning on climate change. the clock is ticking. we are in the fight the whole lives and we are losing while leaders are in egypt for the cop

$27.00 summit facing calls to support developing countries already suffering the devastating effects of global warming. the united states prepared to vote in crucial mid term elections that will shape the next 2 years of jo biden's presidency. it is a neck and neck battle in key races that will determine control of congress. ah, i've been phys all and welcome the head of the un, antonio quoterush says humanity must co operate in the fight against climate change or face collective suicide. he was addressing cop 27 in egypt when ilia 100 heads of state and government a meeting this week. the salad comes at the end of a catastrophic year for many developing countries, with temperatures rising as the wo continues to burn damaging fossil fuels like coal, oil,

and gas. if all the leaders in this room had joined forces in the fight against global warming, signed to say, there would be far fewer climate catastrophes to address at this year's summit. but the situation is serious. you and secretary general antonia guiterres made that clear or blended. these foster, broaching peeping points that will make climate scales you reversible. we are on the highway to climate tell, with our foot still on the accelerator. guiterres is referring to the u. n. world mature a logical organizations report that the last 8 years have been the warmest on record . flash flooding in pakistan in september devastated an area the size of britain. the floods killed more than 1500 people and left millions homeless. at the other end of the spectrum, extreme drought dried up, entire rivers in italy,

and in so malia the worst dry spell and 40 years left 1000000 suffering. countries that contribute the least to the climate crisis are the ones suffering the most from its consequences. so the summit is appealing for solidarity. i don't believe it is justice to the young generation when our re raisin legs upward knitted. i don't see justice when big bully tis an untouchable. is he justice for the world need is to choose profits over lives. if nothing changes, the temperature of the earth's atmosphere could rise by 2.4 to 2.8 degrees celsius . compared to pre industrial times, scientists say the paris climate accords aim of limiting global warming to $1.00 degrees is currently unattainable. they predict this will result in more and more frequent, extreme weather events to help climate vulnerable countries deal with the damages

german chancellor. all of shoulds said his country will provide financial assistance with the old. so suppose those countries hit hardest by climate change in a targeted way in dealing with loss and damage for these and filled with the cream of his for this shield and climate risk funding, germany makes available 170000000 euros. as world leaders see compromises over the next 2 weeks into egyptian city of shar, michelle. many are skeptical that the promises made in this room will actually be delivered. ada is at the tolten, shall mail shake. what's on the agenda, today's nina? well we had in the reports about the global shield initiative, that is an initiative that will actually in his position as the current head of the g 7 initiated in the summer. so this is a shield that would essentially help amber cover, the damages and the losses in some of the costs for most is for some of the most

affected regions around the world. so we'll have shown is, is meeting with a group of the v 20, as they're called the most vulnerable 20 countries this morning. and it is going to spell out more details of this global shield initiative, which is going to be launched officially next week by his development ministers. finish was there and the head of the v 20 gonna. so this is something where it, with germany is putting a $170000000.00 euros on the table for now just to get it off the ground. but the idea is that this is something where essentially the international community would also feed money into pot. so that in an, an bureaucratic way, after a natural disaster occurs, those most affected countries around the world can be helped. what more through other countries expect in response to the climate emergency from such a rich and big economy like germany? well, the very 1st and most most important message, of course,

that will have shows really has to convey convincingly here is that germany is still being earnest about its ambition to be a global leader when it comes to the fight against climate change. now, many countries are of course questioning whether germany is being serious regarding and climate protection. because of course, of all the measures that germany is undertaking to get rid of some of the russian energy sources and to find alternative energy supplies worldwide. so germany is in extending of cold power use, for example, is also investing in l. a. g terminal. so it is investing in fossil fuels and the international community really wants to see that this is just a transition period as the can tell solar shows, claims, or whether germany is indeed giving up on his ambitions. because of course, also at home. germany is not properly doing its homework. it has been also criticized by its own council of experts that germany's and ambitions are not

enough. and this is something that the international communities wanting very closely. but of course, the message that we'll have shown is bringing some money with him here to tell shake to this climate summit is also being welcomed. they know what's mixed on their german travelers to do list. well, he has to and really put some more money on the table. he has promised that by 2025, germany will invest an annual amount of 6000000000 years into international climate protection efforts. so this is something where, of course, we need to identify a concrete project where this money can be spend. the forest initiative is one such example. so investing in the countries where there are still all foreigners that can help essentially bring down c o 2 emissions as well. because of course, it's not just about miti, it's not just about adaptation. it's all about trying to reach you. c o 2 emissions globally. and germany is being seen as one of the country's back and post. this was

still forward in one of our correspondents, in some l shake covering cop 27. thank you very much for the update. ukraine's president, florida. mister lansky says it's vital to keep pushing russia to participate in what he calls genuine peace talks. earlier and advisor to zalinski said ukraine was ready for talks with a russian leader, but not vladimir potent. u. s. media have also reported that the biden administration has been encouraging ukraine to signal openness to talks. that is, the kremlin has said it's open to negotiations. is comes as ukraine welcomes the arrival of new air defense system supplied by norway, spain and the u. s. d, w, corresponded nick connelly is in cave. he told us how important these western defense systems will be. we're certainly very welcome to been promised for long term another finally here. although we're not being told quite how many have

reached care of 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. or this after all award is being fought on a scale bigger than anything that any western country is fought in decades front lines of over a 1000 kilometers and cities. hundreds of almost 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, you know, kids that come from germany. other kids coming from france, couple weeks of the cranium really sanctum, basically make do with all the kind of leftovers that western military's have and are 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, dw correspondent connelly reporting from the ukranian capital. he is

a look now at some of the other stories making news from around the world. the ceremony has been held in tanzania for the victims of sundays plane crash that killed 19 people. authorities are investigating the exact cause of the crash. the country's transport minister told mourners that bad weather was a likely factor. the french catholic church says 11 bishops and former bishops have been accused of sexual violence or failing to report abuse cases. among them is jean pierre, the car, one of the country's highest ranking cardinals. on monday he confessed to abusing a young girl 35 years ago. he will face prostitution or a church tribunal, on a bus authorities in india's capital deli say primary schools will reopen this week . after closures, due to severe air pollution, the city's air quality has improved slightly, but it's still very poor with pollution levels many times above the world health organizations acceptable limits. a deeply divided united states is preparing to

vote in mid term elections. that will determine political control of congress if republicans, when control of the house or senate, as many analysts predict, it will likely think president joe biden's plans for his next 2 years in office. former president donald trump has been hinting that he will soon announcer run for president, perhaps as early as next week. and in his last pitch to supporters on the eve of the election bite and warned a republican victory would mean democracy itself is at risk. we is welcome to the state they gathered for the final rallies of the campaign trail. we've just hours to go the political heavy weights we're out to make the final pitch. speaking in the state of maryland, u. s. president joe biden told americans the meetings were the moment to defend democracy where the united states of america has

nothing. nothing, nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. if we do it together, so vote get out the vote. god bless you all, may god protect our true. thank you. thank you. thank you. in the swing state of ohio, it was a controversial former president who rolled into town pirating familiar phrases. the media didn't even leave the factors or look at all of them. wow. that's a lot of fake news back there. nancy pelosi said, please don't call them animals a human beings. i should know their animals. who was i think she's an animal too. you want to know the does it? oh, what a horrible thing he said about nude sheepishly twice for nothing ahead of tuesday. vote. the talk among ohio's electorate wasn't about red versus blue. but the state of america's political discourse,

this is kind of summed up on a tackle below. she's a husband in macon. all those jokes on tv which, you know, it takes both parties to get involved with deniers that are, there is really disappointing when you think about democracy in she's some of the people that are running for positions that are in fluids or a future with the balance of congress on a knife edge, the outcome of these mid terms could stymie biden's agenda and will undoubtably set the stage for the next presidential election. we are state oh jeez, washington correspondent soon we saw this condo how things are looking for the democrats, given that historically the president's party takes a battering in the mid term, not very good. it has been really an up and down year. so at the start of the year appeared very clear that the republicans would sweep both houses of congress that

they would take the house of representatives and the senate as well. but this summer the democrats really did pick up a lot of steam in it, look more and more like they would hold on to the senate that they might even be competitive in the house of representatives. especially after that, supreme court ruling that overturned roe v wade to the right to the constitutional right to an abortion that really energized a lot of demo credit voters. but really just in the last month or 2 republicans have picked up a lot of momentum in a critical races in states like nevada and in pennsylvania. and georgia were seeing republican candidates who have made up a lot of ground. they are now very competitive races. we're really talking about races that are in a dead heat at the moment. and the reason for that is really that everything has come back to the economy. you were just talking about and play inflation. that is a big issue here. it's been a bruising year for so many americans, and republicans have been hammering democrats on the message that your life has gotten harder under joe biden and the democrats in congress. so it's time to vote them out. in the polling is clears that registered voters trust the republican

party over the democratic party to handle the economy. the democrats for their part of try to respond with messaging on abortion. you mentioned also on democracy being on the ballot. but the latest polls show that it really does look like a republicans will sweep at the house of rep help the house of representatives, and possibly the senate as well. a correspondence to me so has gone to reporting from washington. you're watching d. w. use christy. plats and is up mixed with the business news. i'm ben for sola. we'll see you next hour. we'll, we'll, we'll use of i i .
