well and she ended by saying that this is not the culmination but merely the beginning of the climate action protest movement and this group of well knowing that wasn't much of a grettir fact. well she is well known among at the youth activists to form the basis of the spine of action movement among other people especially among adults she isn't quite as famous as she is and europe but now with this u.s. trip she is definitely gaining popularity here in the u.s. as well ok so these protests the big news on this side of the world politicians and other decision makers are joining in the protests there in the u.s. . no we haven't really seen politicians participated in a and one of the main reasons is that the protesters have been stressing that climate change is not a political issue but that it crosses all party lines and so politicians really left the protests to the protesters and to n.g.o.s leaders today here in new york. the black cat in new york city thank you. and i should expect cities across germany have seen mass protests today organizers claim that more than a 1000000 people demandi

here at the moment but i think what has happened here is that there has been a week of action climate action called for by this friday for future movement and in some countries the big day was a week ago last week friday in other countries the big there is today here in germany the big day was last week friday today there are protests planned in about 70 thirtieth's around germany but it looks like the number of people that are going to attend these demonstrations is going to be nowhere as large as a week ago and i guess the weather may have something to do with that as well but we know that a greater tearing birds passionate speech at the united nations a galvanized public opinion at the time do you think it's also added some amount of momentum to the way the fight is for future movement is going. it's i think what you can say is that the kind of anger that greater turn back and expressed in her speeches are about the fact that previous generations current governments have not been doing very much at all or have been in the views of these young people not being doing enough at least to addr

question still is whether this plan will be enough to do that germany was once a front runner in climate action in fact it made headlines for it essentially coming up with a plan to completely reduce fossil fuel altogether chancellor merkel was even called the climate chancellor but it's clearly made a point of directing down its ambitions why has it lost its lead. well there's a couple of fact is it's true i'm going to machall she's been in power for 14 years now almost and she framed herself right at the beginning cheshire both a book about climate change being existential threat. and then the big question is well why didn't she work in that direction more. she is essentially somebody who tackles crises when they emerged there was the financial crisis there was the migration crisis and we shouldn't underestimate that the amount of political traction the issue of climate got just over these past 12 months because of. the people actually taking this to the streets so what we're seeing happening here right now is politicians responding to pressure from the streets and what we have in our hands r
