ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin, a landmark deal to protect nature, delegates of the un summit in montreal, reach agreement, the halting loss of biodiversity that is endangering life on earth. also coming up the legacy of slavery in the netherlands. the country built an empire by enslaving

hundreds of thousands of people have brought his time to apologize and clubbing in key if, despite the war, young people in ukraine turned to dance and music to escape the porters of daily life plus a dramatic world cup final in cut up ends in victory for argentina. the penalty shoot out wins or wild celebrations on the field and horseback home in minnesota to speak to our correspondent indo ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. we begin in montreal where countries at the un biodiversity summit have a doctor the historic deal to protect nature. the agreement is the most significant, yet to protect vital ecosystems, safeguarding 30 percent of the world's land and sees the deal also promotes

agricultural reforms and provides critical financing to save bio diversity in the developing world. beatrice christopher oh, from our environment desk is covering the story force. beatrice a 190 countries have struck a deal to protect bio diversity. this deal is being held as historic. what makes it so significant? many environmentalists are saying that this deal is our last chance to, you know, reverse the threat on our biodiversity, which basically refers to all living things on earth. so if we look at the situation right now where thousands of species are under threat of extinction, are insect numbers are plummeting, our oceans are acidic fighting. the situation is very dire and our ecosystems are under enormous pressure. so this deal could change the way we farm the way we do business and the way we protect our animals and plants. the steel was hammered out

in a series of really tough negotiations. i mentioned a 190 countries getting them to agree on something as is really seem to be what, what were the biggest points of contention. the biggest content point of contention by far was financing. and that's something we already saw, the climate talks, which are also un talks and in egypt and november. because it really boils down to this, that poor nations want richer nations to give them more financial aid to help them in their conservation efforts. especially because these developing nations are the ones that really are home to some of the most outstanding biodiversity. for example, if you think of the amazon in south america. so these negotiations got. so he did at one point that delegates from poor nations walked out of the negotiations. okay . ah, so how much of the game changer do you think this deal will really be? do you think that it can actually help stop the relentless degradation of plant and animal life on the planet?

if this deal becomes a game changer, really depends on the way we implemented the way that governments honor the promises that it and the commitments that they made. and these negotiations because we've seen and other historic deals be for, for example, the, the paris agreement in 2015, which focused on climate talks. these commitments are not always honored. i mean, really big promises were made in terms of global warming and, and periods at that point on the way things are going right now. we're not honoring them. so with this deal we also got to see, okay, we made the promises, but are we going to walk the walk? you mentioned the, the climate shot negotiations that have been going on. we've says and seeing those, those agreements broken. how does this deal on biodiversity plug in to the whole notion of climate change because they dark horse closely related? exactly, experts are saying that they're completely inter length and that to fight climate change. we also got to protect our biodiversity, especially ecosystems, such as for us. so to come back to my example of the amazon, the,

this like massive rain for is, is absolutely crucial to absorb carbon from the atmosphere. because this keeps the atmosphere from heating up. so the more we the for, as the more we threaten our climate also, and similarly for us to protect our m, r, the more we pollute. and the more we admit that also is a mass of threat on our biodiversity interest. thank your much for your insight. that was beatrice crystal from, from our environment test. thank skid. round up of some of the world news headlines now. ah, at least 31 sailors from thailand's navy have gone missing at sea. their worship was patrolling the gulf of thailand when it ran into strong tides. late on sunday, and sank as search and rescue operation of pulled at least 75 sailors out of the waters alive. and another potential disaster at sea was averted when shrunk as navy

a massive generator that is connected to an actual club. like down that alley club there right now is filling up with people. want to live in ordinary life via just for a couple of hours. let's have a look. the 11 pm curfew means it's an early start to have come to party at hotel this could be a grungy club, almost, or in the world with advice. but it's not even 7 o'clock and it's already pretty busy. the main floor is filling up. it is a rare opportunity to dance, even if it's chilly most you're keeping their coats on to those who have come. this is more than just a night out. but you on the bottom and i feel good. this is our life now. it's just the we are already tired of reacting to muscles full in my mouth. city. people are

already tired of the war. less pain user can act, keeps us going. i feel good. i thank god that i'm ca, i'm and cave and i can see and hear all this. a baby. yeah. my so it's and the children bought it there. but then, oh, so it seems, this is a purely part of partying and cube at the moment. just seconds ago, there was massive rave going on. now there is a power cut the big generator outside soon does its work, though. and we had downstairs where there's a different by oh my oh, chris gotta wraps about the war and ukrainian identity. all the dia coordinate, a white glove,

but not to moskowitz. that's for life. get put back in the city and go. hi, this is melissa brown, calling it's so loud. we have to talk yesterday, shaw wasn't got there. i believe the music is a powerful force that can influence not only people's mood, but also your feelings during the war. that's why you should sing when it has really, if you need to speak, must be why me to shout 8 but not besides what they did not go to chad that on them of chat. yeah, somebody azalea of thought, which of the will be able to me? i served in the military for a year. so i understand how important it is for the people that there's music that inspires them to live hours at the dodge. so just imagine days ago these people were sheltered because the russians were attacking key with rockets. and today they say they need to go out. they need to feel happy. they need to

celebrate a little bit, live a little bit. and to be honest, feels good to see that germany's defense ministry is holding crisis talks over serious technical problems with the armies state of the art tumor armored vehicles. the meeting comes after defects rendered all 18 units involved in a recent training exercise in operable, the vehicles were supposed to be were supposed to join nato's spearhead response force next year. now the army says it will send decades old martyr combat vehicles . instead. germany has around $350.00 pumas with more on order, and they're, they've made headlines for their lack of reliability. d, w. 's political correspond, julia saw deli, has more surely. what's wrong with the bonus best hanks? now as you've said this, a recent exercise has proven that there are definitely some problems with the pumas

at 18 out of 18 of those vehicles becoming a non operational just over a few days during a training exercise. now a media have had access to a report coming from the general who was leading that training operation, who reportedly said that it was mostly for problems with the electronics that have been plaguing these, these vehicles. and in one case, there was a cable fire inside the drivers compartment of one of these vehicles. and a we've also seen from this report that troops were aware of issues with the puma vehicles, but they had never witness witness all these problems happening with such a frequency. and looking at the pumas, these are infantry combat vehicles that had been starting a production over 10 years ago, but only became operational last year. and these specific pumas had been

a refitted specifically for the nato operations that they would have to take part in starting in january and the pumas were put forward manufactured by to a german weapons manufacturers. but they had been played with problems already before so much though that they have been nicknamed breakdown tanks, freetown text. you mentioned the need a mission that's supposed to happen next month, where the saw whom of vehicles fighting vehicles were supposed to be deployed. if none of the pumas is working, where does that leave the mission? we've heard from the defense ministry that these tanks are going to now be substituted with a martyr tanks and moderate tanks. 9 were produced starting from the 19 seventies and the puma tanks were actually meant to substitute this, these martyr tank. so it's basically falling back on an older model to substitute

for these new puma vehicles that are not working. and this task force is meant to be basically taken over and have a strong participation of germany starting now already in january and the armed forces and the defense ministry have said they're going to do everything possible to take on a germany's share and contribution to this task force and this is a task force that is meant to have a very quick response, some units in 2 days, some units in 7 days. and it's meant to respond to any immediate threats coming to nato countries. in the fact that germany's military vehicles are unable and not ready to take part is definitely puts germany in a different position, difficult position for itself and its own defense. but also on whether it is ready to contribute to collected the fence under the nato alliance. julia, thank you very much, shar corresponded julia. so deli,

now the netherlands looked set to start the process of apologizing for his role in slavery to day. hundreds of thousands people from africa and asia were enslaved and sold by dutch merchants. over centuries, the dutch had an extensive colonial empire including a different times, areas in southeast asia, africa, and the america's slave labor was used throughout its colonies and proceeds from the slave trade, helped fund the countries 17th century golden age. government ministers are visiting 7 former colonies in the caribbean and south america today. prime minister mark rotors set to give a speech in the hague. it's the latest step and a long heated debate over the colonial past of the netherlands and its role in slavery. reminders of this chapter in the country's history are easy to find. when jennifer tosh walks through amsterdam, she sees her history on the walls. she is

a direct descendant of people enslaved by the dutch. now she takes people on walks to show them the past that is hiding in plain sight. well, it's everywhere. i mean, where we're standing right now is at the heart of what's referred to as the golden benz, the wealthiest part of the city were the founders of the dutch east and west in your company. and society of serena's where they lived there, they had their mansions here, people like tosh, whose families come from enslaved. people has spent decades pushing for an official apology for the past and the damage. it did. the fact that the dutch only had a small share of the trans atlantic slave trade should not matter. she says, the dutch have centered themselves so much as exceptional, not like the british, not like the french, not like the portuguese. it's given this impression that won't. we weren't so bad, you had 5 percent compared to world history. that's not that much. and it wasn't here. it was always somewhere else out of out of sight, out of mind that sort of nostalgic waiver,

manta sizing history has left people thinking what, what's all this fuss about? reparations. the netherlands was among the last countries in europe to abolish slavery. before they did, it's thought the dutch enslaved more than half a 1000000 people, historian pepin, brenda, and things the impact of this remains. we have to think at a much broader and more systemic level and see how that special place that middle and still still has as an economy in the world like a minor country with a sort of an outsized financial and service sector. quite a central place in the global economy. it's a legacy of it's slow to revolve much in colonialism. following the lead of a number of big cities, including amsterdam, prime minister, michael to may apologize for the whole country. the proposed front of $200000000.00

euros would pay for education and awareness projects aimed at reducing racist thinking. slavery could not exist without a motivation why it was to the white europeans could not be saved, but black africans could be right. so there is in the foundation of racism there that ties it's, it's legacy that we still live with. that black last met our protests and 2020 head china light on that racism. an official apology would be a good move forward, says tosh. it is important step in the process, but we can't stop there in terms of education and real societal understanding. to assess the journey has just begun or more we can talk to linden noir maia. now, linda is chair of the board at the national institute for the study of dutch slavery. thanks for being with us. linda. first of all, tell us about the timing of this apology. why has it been so long and coming and why now?

as thank you for having me when i think the reason is that the, the nash unsafe history was a history that was hidden for a long time. and for 4 years for centuries, people thought that the slave history didn't matter for the economy. that it wasn't as bad and a little part in it. so if you don't, you know, so if, if the history is not acknowledged, then the use the need for apologies are there also. and i think that's the reason why we have to wait 160 years, almost. there's more to this apology than just saying, sorry, the dutch government plans to spend 200000000 euros, understand unrelated education and anti racism projects. what impact do you think that will help when there is not enough knowledge

about the history of, or either the descendants of the attendance of holland and, but i'm gonna say that i don't like to talk about the amount because i think it's very important to see what the impact is of history, and then say we say everything that we does, we see around us that involves a racism, institutionalized racism comes from this life history. so in order to know what to repair, you have to study. you have to make an event recession, because director is also in those countries where the system of slavery was, was, was brought to a 3rd it. and then we talked about the dutch book and the caribbean part of it and

answering them. so i am satisfied with the idea that something has to be to be repaired. i'm not sure if i feel that the way it is right now is the correct way. i think there should be a itself to see what has to be done and there has been a lot of studies right. it because the impact of this history and thank you very much for talking with us. that was linda noise mail from the national institute for the study of dutch slavery. now, a quick look at some other stories making news around the world. south african presidents, serial ram of hosa, has been reelected as head of the ruling african national congress. despite facing the worst corruption scandal of his presidency run a pose of fall off

a leadership challenge from his former health minister will continue to serve as the head of the agency for another 5 years. miss management police in el paso and the u. s. state of texas are moving migrants out of public spaces as temperature's pole. below freezing, the city's mayor has declared a state of emergency as hundreds of people who cross the border from mexico have been sleeping on the streets. and many are wondering whether twitter owner, ellen musk will make good on his promise to step down as c e o. after launching a public poll on his own future voting has just ended with 58 percent of voters urging him to go. twitter has seen a series of chaotic changes since must completed his $44000000000.00 takeover in october. argentina has one to 2022 football world cup in kasha, as i'm sure you've heard the final against defending champions french fans on the

edge of their seats as it went into extra time. and then a penalty shoot out the match is already being called a classic leonel messy, opened the scoring early on after argentina were awarded a penalty and not long afterwards, it was unhealthy. maria doubled the lead for the south americans in the 36th minutes. the game seemed over until with just 10 minutes to go. killian and by pe scored once from the penalty spots and just 2 minutes later again with a beautiful side volley to sent the game to extra time. there it was missy who gave argentina 3 to lead with his 13th career world cup goal before another end, but he penalty equalized the game again. his 3rd goal of the final made him the top score of the tournament and took this absolute thriller of a game to the penalty shootouts. however, argentina were the ones to keep their cool converting all for penalties while friend smith to the south americans when the world come for the 3rd time while it's

legal, no missy's 1st title, and what was his last ever world cup match? earlier i spoke to w, sports corresponded mark, matters in caught up. i asked him about the key factors behind argentina's success . well i think in the final it was there a quick start? i mean that was a fantastic 1st half margin tina to be tune a lot. i actually think it's probably the best half a football i've ever seen from a team in a world cook final. somehow france got back into it, killing and buffet only the 2nd man to score a hapchick in a will cook final. but it wasn't enough. argentina, prevailed, and obviously leonor messy was a big reason for that. he was named player the tournament showing what he's done all through this world cup, and he's achieved a life long dream. he has finally won the one thing that was missing from his glittering c v. a world cup winners metal. now i've written a piece for d, w dot com, saying that he can now be classed as the greatest male footballer of all time. i

think many fans would agree with that. the previous or argentina captains who in the woke up was diego mar doner back in 1986, a year before messy was even born. okay, you're there in doha. give us a taste of the atmosphere. what was it like there after the game? well, i got to the stadium 3 hours early and the metro was absolutely rammed. it was actually a little bit dangerous and there was some trouble and some injuries, but it settled down. and then inside the stadium, it really was an electric atmosphere. the argentinian fans outnumbered the french hugely. that's mainly because a lot of migrant workers that live here in cattle were supporting argentina, basically because they love messy. lots of argentinians had come for the game as well. they were absolutely ecstatic at the end. let's listen to some of the fans after what was, what many people think the greatest woke up final ever integrative are still alive after such a much. it was showing dance. ah,

so many matches in one same one. the 1st day was just amazing football then and my base just the missouri gravel and you get you ah, when a d i by the end i, that is just in go amazing. or we would have loved obviously to win. but still we didn't give up. and we are proud of the team. all of them we don't like to lose oh file nor to tell you. we're proud of the friendship. oh so something has been a good. i think they can have done better. i love my job. i love my wife. i did everything together. i came, i saw i got good food, her big headed back to what i was. i was mad taking it back to world island. so the firms there got to experience an exciting bible, but the tournament itself was highly controversial. mark, how do you think it will be remembered in years to come on the field? it was a great tournament. we had a record number of goals,

172. that will probably increase for the next will cope in 2026, which is played in the usa, mexico and canada. that's because it's being increased to $48.00 teams. and there was no hooliganism here that's unique really. it was probably largely because of the fact that alcohol is not so easy to get hold of, but of as the off the field. there were lots of controversies, the migrant deaths in building the stadiums. the fact that cat are accused of buying the rights to host to will cope long ago, which they deny. but otherwise, they'll think it was a good tournament. and they probably now going to bid for the olympics. now, i'm not sure what's going to happen next, but we'll see whether they win that olympic bid. i think what is the recurring image of this will cup will be leno, messy, lifting the trophy now he had an arab robe on top of him. that was given to him by the fif of president and the image of keta. he looked a little bit uncomfortable wearing it. and i think that shows who's in control

after all. messy place a p s g owned by cutter, the w's mark meadows. they're indo har. thank you so much mark. you're watching d. w. those from berlin. global 3000 is up next. taking a look at how sri lanka is economic crisis is affecting people there. i'm terry margin for me and all of us here at dw news. thanks for watching. ah ah, with
