11:00 am
ah ah ah ah, business d w. news live from berlin, a breakthrough at the you and climate summit in egypt, delegates agreed that rich countries should pay poor nations for the damages caused by climate change. but many say the deal falls short on the fossil fuel phase,
11:01 am
out needed to prevent even more catastrophic warming and fever's precedent lashes out at critics at the world cup and cattle were kick off just hours away. the focus is again, not on the football, will take you to dub. ah, i'm all on soccer, a very warm welcome to the program negotiators at the u. n. sculpt $27.00 climate summit in egypt have approved an historic deal on compensation for vulnerable nations like the days of gridlock. countries at the summit agreed to set up a lawsuit and damage funds to help the nations most at risk of climate change to sauces were caused for such a fun to have dominated the last 2 weeks of talks. the details of the deal still have to be negotiated, including which countries would put the bill while the deal has one praise. many
11:02 am
officials say it falls short on both loss and damage provisions and on commitment to reducing emissions. here's what each climate policy chief france timmons had to say. we are proud of our contribution to the creation of this fund that will serve the interest of those most the need of support. but i urge you to acknowledge when you walk out of this room, that we have all fallen short and actions to avoid and minimize las and damage. we should have done much more. our citizens expect us to lead. that means far more rapidly reduce emission d w climate report. i did ran. jan joins me now as it so they've agreed on a deal where richer countries will pay poor countries will help them out to a to deal with the damage. climate change has done. what does this mean in practical terms?
11:03 am
it means that rich countries are now forced to not only look at helping poor countries adapt. so building highest, the walls and things like that. all clean up the energy grids and kind of helping them build renewable energy, wind turbine, the solar panels on. but also that they're accepting some of the financial responsibility for extreme weather events that have been made worse by the fossil fuels. we've been disproportionately in countries like germany in the u. s. in france and so on. and so this is a huge step forward because for 30 years or so poor country, they're kind of been asking for this and all the climate talks, it's never been something was even been on the agenda this year for the 1st time it got put on to the discussion table and after kind of huge 2 weeks of incredibly intense negotiations, countries like i could economies like you and the u. s. which previously blocked all attempts of this, have relented to some degree. and so they'll set up a fund. so it's a big step forward, but there are those who say that this fund already fall short of what is new it.
11:04 am
exactly. i mean there's 2 ways you can look at it. the 1st of the rich countries definitely do not want to accept any liability for the damage is done because they feel that if they, i mean one of the big barrister them setting up the funding, the 1st place with this feeling that if they agree to any type of financial responsibility, then they'll be left with a bill that will run into the trillions of dollars. the 2nd aspect of this is that the repeatedly failed to keep their promises. so in a climate, some in 2009 in copenhagen, rich countries agreed to pay poor countries a $100000000000.00 a year by 2020. that money never materialized. they got about 83000000000 by 2020. and even now today, they're still trying to catch up and get to that 100000000000 numbers. so i think there's a lot of skepticism from the poorest countries that the amount of money needed will be even put in the spot apart from the fund. what else is in the deal that's been a great and challenging and more of what they, what's not in the deal with a lot of technicality with they've been progress on all sorts of areas. but the key
11:05 am
thing that's missing really, from here, is very clear statements about getting rid of fossil fuels. so the only line that the deal contains referring to them is saying, getting rid of on a, based on beta coal power, which means coal power plants that haven't been fitted with technology to capture the carbon dioxide from them and fading out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. there's no clear definition of what other beta actually means in this context. how good the carbon capture technologies need to be. and there's no clear definition on what inefficient when you're subsidizing fossil fuel products. what's really absent from the document that we saw this morning. it was like coil and gas, which are fossil fuels, that when you burn them, heat the planet. and we know from the science of science reports that this same declaration, welcome to explicitly, they make it very clear. we need to rapidly get rid of the fossil fuel source of the still room in the mix for a small amount by 2050. but then with the technologies to capture them in place.
11:06 am
and definitely on a scale that's drastically lower than what we've got now. right mixed results in terms of climates policy integrated. thank you very much. a decent runjun dw climate report a week after the liberation of the ukrainian city of have sun signs of the russian occupation are everywhere in the city. hundreds of people are reported to have been detained or gone missing during the time under moscow's control. at one sign, things are returning to normalcy is the arrival of the 1st passenger train that her son has seen since the invasion started. she is as the 1st train into liberated house on pulls into the station after enduring 8 months of russian occupation, these families of finally reunited her yellow blue through its completed new book. i haven't cried for a long time in the law. and now finally,
11:07 am
you cry when i see my daughter ah ukrainians, a calling this the victory train, but victory in her son has come at a heavy price. the russian has left the city in pieces littered with land mines and its power grid in ruins. as ukrainian troops make gains on the battlefield. moscow has been striking critical infrastructure instead. one of the latest targets was this oil depot. fire fighters say they're struggling to put out the blaze. russian troops took the city's fire trucks and ambulances with them when they withdrew. nearly half of the countries, powell grant has already been destroyed, leaving millions of ukrainians without heat or electricity at a time when temperature dropping below 0. the head of ukraine's biggest private energy firm has urged people to leave the country to reduce demand content
11:08 am
separately. so of course i think the 38 me working for i may have to make a decision until abroad. vs because without electricity got out can without heating is no address with the 1st no or is usually a sign that the festive season is just around the corner that you craniums. it's an ominous reminder. the danger that lies ahead has a look at some other stories making use around the world. rights groups are reporting that iran is carrying out a major cracks down in the kurdish town of ma, about which has seen intense anti regime protests in recent days. and no way based rights group says our troops are in the city streets in audio fall circulating on line. heavy gunfire and screaming can be heard. jackie says it has launched air
11:09 am
strikes across northern syria and northern iraq targeting the military bases of kurdish medicines. a war monitor says at least 12 people were killed. the strikes come days after the turkish government blame the code of san workers. party for a deadly bombing in central is stumble, malaise he has general election, has produced an unprecedented hung parliament with no group able to claim a majority opposition leader on why abraham says his coalition has enough support to form the next government ex premier and he dean dean has made the same plane and kick off in the football world, cup, and cat is just hours away. now. it is the most controversial tournament in competition history, attracting widespread scrutiny of labor rights and human rights abuses in the home country. most of this criticism has been levels ad fee for and it's president johnny infant tino now he's responded to the criticism,
11:10 am
holding out what he describes as western hypocrisy. if a president gianni intern tino should be relieved after long for years of planning building and glad handing the guitar world cup is finally to begin. but as the tournament draws near, those criticising fifo for partnering with a host nation, accused of human rights and labor abuses and where homosexuality is criminalized, have only gotten louder. infant, he knew, expressed empathy with marginalized groups, including those ostracized guitar in a press conference, one day before the opening game. today i feel her katara today i feel at up today i feel african to day i fi, la gay to day i
11:11 am
feel disabled to day i feel a migrant worker. thousands of migrant workers have faced with staff or even died under unexplained circumstances and guitars since the world cup was awarded 12 years ago. infant you know, argued the world cup and attention around it have helped improve conditions highlighting football's potential for change. the only weapon that we have is this is the ball. and we have to try with this to engage, to explain, ah, and to and they was awesome. despite these words of solidarity infant, tina has failed to speak out about a proposed compensation fund for migrant workers that would provide restitution for labor abuses suffered preparing for the world cup even as the tournament gets ready for kick off. if these and other vital topics aren't addressed more seriously,
11:12 am
it's unlikely infant tino we'll get a break from the criticism. i spoke to d w. sports correspondent, dana barcelona and doe her earlier and i asked her what she made of jenny infant. he knows criticism, so many people have called in santino as press conference. bizarre. now he started that out with a lecture to journalist where he said it was time to start focusing on the football and to start moralizing. i mean, we heard, he criticized the west and europe, and he said that there an absolutely no position to be criticizing guitar after what they've done throughout the history. now, the part where people were most confused was where he actually compared his situation to migrant workers. he said that when his family moved from italy to switzerland, he suffered discrimination and bullying because he had red hair and freckles. and i mean for him to compare himself like that to migrant workers, a life. many people shocked,
11:13 am
so as much as infantile might like. for the focus to be all about for bought right now it feels like the football is kind of taking a back seat to the other, more important social and geopolitical issues. all right, so it is the opening day of the world cup. what is it like being and doha right now? i mean, everywhere you look in, doha is covered in decorations. it's very obvious that could tar and if they spared no expense in getting ready for this tournament, there are fan fast experiences, concerts, massive player billboards on buildings. so the vibe is very well cut now. we hadn't seen as many fans from europe and south america, but we did see a lot of fans from the region and they told us how excited they were. especially last night round, lucid boulevard. they just can't wait for the 1st row cut in an admission to take place. the guitars were out in numbers, dancing with flags. they do have a game tonight, and they're actually expecting a win. so it is the 1st time the host nation is participating in
11:14 am
a world cup. what can you tell us about the team? right, so a lot of people don't know could tar as a for buying nation because it doesn't really have the history of other countries like argentina or brazil, even germany. but i can tell you that guitar have been preparing their for by generation from scratch for the last 20 years. now they're had coach felix sanchez . he's from barcelona, as lamazzo academy. he's really been spearheading this project. i can also tell you that guitar is probably the most well prepared team in the tournament. they've been together for the past 8 months in a training camp that is a long time. some players have actually left their clubs and only trained with the national team for this whole time. so there's also the fact that they are the host nation. there is all the buzz and excitement and kind of a dark horse because nobody really knows anything about them. but what i can tell you is, is that they are expecting a when to night against ecuador. all right,
11:15 am
dan. yeah. barcelona in cat. thank you very much. hes a quick reminder of our top story at this hour of the day. so for gridlock negotiators at the you ends call 27th climate summit in egypt have approved on historic deal on compensation for vulnerable nations. while the agreement has one price and many officials say it false, false short on both loss and damage provisions and on commitment to reducing emissions. this is it every news coming up? thousands of nigerian children are accused of being possessed by demons, not juris which children is of next. i discovered stories that contains your mind just a click away.
