place around the world. dw has been to see what is happening in berlin. >> climate demonstrators were back on berlin streets for the first time in months after the coronavirus pandemic forced most protest actctio online. ththousands flocked toto the brandenburg gate, the city's most famous landmark, carrying banners and chanting slogans. neither the threat of pouring rain nor the coronavirus could stop them. there were young people, children with their parents, students, but also people from older generations, including a group of grandma's fighting for climate change. all were wearing masks and respecting social distancing. people told me e they were happy to finally be able to go to the streets to protest, thinking that during the coronavirus pandemic, the issue of climate change had been forgotten. protesters say the time is right to push governments to pursue the 1.5-degrees celsius limit on

the rise in global temperatures set by the paris climate agreement. "for me, the most important thing is to comply with the paris climate agreement. the measures taken worldwide were not nearly enough." >> i want the goals we have now set, that europe has hopefully agreed on, to be implemented. they are ambitious goals, but i think they are realistic. >> the demonstrators are bowing to not give up the fight. they want the government to hear them loud and clear and to take action. phil: what happens when the people shout and the government does not listen? we talked to the director of nonprofit organization climate resolve california in los angeles.

welcome to dw. i want to talk about these forest fires, these wildfires devastating the state at the moment. the scale of devastation is unprecedented, yet, you have a president who blames bad forest management rather than climate change. asas an organization, how do you deal with that? > we are tryrying to s stop e development that puputs more commununities at risk. phil: you tried to mitigate it by controlling men's spread, as it were. these e are places going up in flames -- don't tilde therere, which would souound like e commn sense. >> we a are also trying to redue

pollution as well. phil: is that what your organization does then? are you focused on trying not to make a bad situation worse becausee you're bad situation seems to get w worse and worse evevery year? >> w we think k there's an imprd quality of life when we make it nicer to bikee and walk araroun. people don't have t to be stuckn their cars. not only bad things. there's good stuff from it two. phil: do protests like friday's for future actualllly do a anyt? do they actually change climatee policy? >> it adds some urgency.y. it puts pressure on decision-makers to relooook at their budget and to make some real shifts to backup goals that

are there. phil: i hear that argument, but i'm at a loss to sort of look around the world and think, well, there's a bit of legislation that was changed because of friday's for future pressure. it looks good, and politicians always say they aree listening, but do they a actually take tion? >> we saw action in california this week, a ban on gasoline vehicle sales after 2035. it's still a ways out. i'veve been tatalking abouststog widening freeways. it is something. phil: thank you for joining us. the late u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg made history again on friday as the

first woman and the first jewish-american to lie in state in the u.s. capitol building. as flags flew at half mast, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer led justice ginsburg's body into the capital. joe biden, who presided over her confirmation hearings in 1993, was among those at the capital for friday's ceremony. let's get more from our washington bureau chief. how is justice ginsburg being remembered? >> today was the final goodbye to an american hero, i think, who stands like no other supreme court justice for equality. i think it is fair to say she was like a radical liberal who changed america with her never-ending fight for equality and against discrimination. phil: the president has said he is going to reveal his nomination for justice

ginsburg's replacement on saturday, which joe biden is unhappy about. why? >> right. he made it clear immediately after president trump announced he is going to pick ruth bader ginsburg's successor tomorrow that he, joe biden, thinks that the american people should decide if they want to have a liberal or conservative successor, meaning the next president should pick the next supreme court justice. there are some major differences between biden and trump when it comes to gun rights and also when it comes to abortion rights. phil: ok, voting in november's election has already begun in some states. how is that, and what are the polls projecting? >> it is interesting -- since joe biden became the nominee for president, he is constantly

ahead in the polls of donald trump. but at the crucial state of florida, this will be probably the dealmaker for president trump. if he loses florida, he is in danger he may lose the white house. in florida, joe biden's figures are dropping down, so everybody kind of is now looking at this state. phil: what are the issues getting boaters excited, or indeed depressed, as you talk to them around the country -- what are the issues getting voters excited? >> i had a chance to travel starting on the west coast and making my way through washington. i would have expected the pandemic really is dominating the decision, so to speak, from the waters, but it's actually not. it is, as always in the united states, abortion rights.

we have many single issue voters. they just would go for the candidate against abortion. there's also guns, but there's also the economy because many people are suffering because of the covid-19 pandemic, so many think donald trump has the power, the energy to bring the united states out of this crisis, and this is another challenge joe biden is facing because more and more people think he might be too old and too weak to carry this country out of the current situation. phil: thank you. the french interior minister that today's knife attack in paris was clearly an islamic act of terror. the incident left two people wounded, one seriously. a number of people have been arrested. it did occur as a trial was under way for suspects in the

attack on the terror attack on satirical magazine "charlie hebdo." >> the former offices of "charlie hebdo," where 12 people died in 2015, shaking the foundations of the republic. >> we heard shouts around mid day. we ran outside, and that was all we saw before the police arriveved. >> i saw a victim lying on the ground covovered in blood. that's when i panicked and people started panicking and shouting, too. after savagely attackingng the victimims who were takingng a smoking g break,k, the suspectsd the scene. police say they arrested the printable suspect nearby. a second suspect was detained

shortly after the attack. later, police arrested others during evening raids in the paris suburbs. those injured in the incident, staff at a television production firm in "charlie hebdo's" for rebuilding. french authorities have already opened an investigation into the attack. the french interior minister and the city mayor visited the scene. anti-terror prosecutors are in charge of the probe into the incident. "we decided to launch an investigation into attempted murder with a terrorist motive, so crime associated with terrorism." french authorities are already calling the attack symbolic. it has happened right in the

middle of a trial of 14 people in connection with the 2015 "charlie hebdo" massacre. that began what is called france's war on terror. this signals that era is not over yet. phil: taking a look at some other stories making news around the world. turkish prosecutors have issued arrest warrants for 82 people, including a mayor and members of a pro-kurdish opposition party as part of an investigation into deadly riots in 2014 spark anger at the government's perceived inaction against militant's from the islamic group -- islamic state group. the vatican -- one of the vatican's most powerful cardinals has resigned suddenly. he headed the office that creates saints. he has been implicated in allegations surrounding a london luxury real estate scandal that has cost the vatican hundreds of millions of dollars.

owners and staff s seething. some feel they are being unfairly targeteted. "we are unjustly punished, stigmamatized. fingers are automaticically beig pointeted at us bars and restaurants. we are responsible f for the rie in cases in marseille? it's nonsense. how are we responsible when we do everything to comply with the rules?" france's prime minister disagrees. he says the industry has contributed to the surge in covid cases. many people in cities see bars where a lot of people don't have masks and don't respect social distancing measures, so they are hotbeds of contamination. once again, we are three times more likely to be infected in a
