nations alexander good to see you iran evidently a very very big issue germany's chancellor angela merkel source met with president dull chunk we're told and then with iran's rouhani just a couple of minutes ago is there a diplomatic initiative on the way. well we what we certainly can say is that the europeans the german chancellor but also the french president see here the chance for diplomacy that's why both of them are engaged in talks to both sides to iran and to the united states among all mccrone met here is today with rouhani and he is scheduled to meet president trump today and as you said angela merkel met with the you asked president and with the iranian president was also on her schedule here and we actually where waits to hear from her every minute every moment from now so as i said i think that the european see a chance for diplomacy we have to admit that president trump has been very critical of iran even today he did knowns iran's blood lust and described the runyon regime as one of the most restrictive restrictive in the world but he also said that he believes that there

chancellor merkel. would address directly to the home and share with them the experience of. germany and tell them this is not the way forward we live in 2000 and i'd seen that's no way out if they keep using violence chief executive has over the prospect of a dialogue and she is also saying we should look for solutions but for those to have said it is too little too late what are the next moves you're one of the main protest organizers in hong kong right. we don't trust the dialogue mentioned we don't trust that. we have 5 a month it's very clear we need independent inquiry of commission of inquiry to look at what the police have done in the past and we've thout this fulfilled we will keep. protesting but peacefully of course the organization and the people actually we. protests peacefully but that was the police and the government who banned our peaceful protests so that they can provoke violence and then to legitimize to they they have islands and of course this is something that we don't want to to see leave it there for the time being one you more thanks so much for comi

meanwhile german chancellor angela merkel has announced a 50000000000 euro climate protection plan the breakthrough follows marathon talks among her coalition government but not everyone is happy it's all about the future germany's government presented its climate package and berlin's brand new museum for to comfort museum of questions about the future its message it has heard and understood the package is touted as a major step at the start chancellor merkel admitted that germany will not reach its climate goals in 2020 but said it will by 2030. commish it is. very important to me that the document we are presenting today communicates that 1st of all we believe we can reach the targets and that we really have set the foundation for doing so. the goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55 percent as compared to $990.00 levels germany is still far off that target and this is how the government plans to catch up by 2030. climate changing carbon dioxide will be priced petrol and heating oil will cost more however commuters will get some tax relief flying will become more expensive t

as government has responded by announcing a 50000000000 euro climate protection plan merkel admitted the country will not reach its climate goals in 2020 but said it will by 2030 the new measures include a charge on carbon dioxide emissions which may push up the price of petrol and oil heating plane travel should become more expensive but transport costs will be lowered for those using public transportation and trains and green electricity development is being stepped up. to talk more about this i'm joined by our chief political editor michaela couth now because i have to ask your sister kind of emergency action that millions of protesters around the world called for well this what is now a and we already got reactions for the climate fight its future movement here and many faces said that this is not so break through these $22.00 pages that i have here of this axe of plan of the german government and also greenpeace and many actually condemned this accusing the so-called grand coalition because that's the product of this coalition and that we have here saying that they lack moral re

so all of that rises the question does chancellor merkel's climate protection plan go far enough our chief political correspondent linda crane sent us have thoughts. the new policies being called the climate package for good reason it's spend some 70 different measures in the sectors of building and transport for a combined value of 54000000000 euros overcoming years the basic aim to nudge people toward more climate friendly behavior by introducing a carbon pricing mechanism that will make fossil fuels more expensive and by providing incentives for green technologies like electric vehicles rail and wind will it satisfy those who are demonstrating near here for stronger action on climate probably not a leading green party member declared herself bitterly disappointed but the chancellor seemed to anticipate such criticism as she introduced the package saying that while science might tell us we could move faster politics is the art of the possible and what's possible right now she said is compromise because we must ensure that as we try to change behavior we truly take people with us th

let's stay in asia because germany's chancellor angela merkel is in china for a two day visit. talks with china's head of state premier li keqiang — and trade is high on the agenda. the visit‘s hugely important for germany — china has been its biggest trading partner for the last few years and a vital market for its car makers and other manufacturers trade between the two hit more than $225 billion last year — but german firms have been caught in the crossfire of president trump's trade war against china. rico hizon is following the story for us. good to see you! how significant is this visit and couldn't be derailed by the hong kong protest? very significant for the german chancellor because there is a lot at sta ke for chancellor because there is a lot at stake for germany on this trip. the us- stake for germany on this trip. the us— china trade while drags on and it is starting to impact the european economy. in herfirst remarks upon arrival in beijing, the german chancellor said that trade problems of both countries affect the whole world and angela merkel hopes they would

at the start, chancellor merkel admitted germany will not meet its climate goals in 2020 but said it will by 2030. >> it is very important to me that the document we are presenting today communicates that first of all, we believe we can reach the targets and that we really have set the foundation for doingng so. ththe goal is t to reduce grgree gas emissions by 55% as compared to 1990 levels. germany is still far off that target. this is how the government plans to catch up 2030. climate changing carbon dioxide will be priced. petrol and heating oil will cost more. but commuters will get tax relief. flying will become more expensive through a carbon tax. train travel will be cheaper and the development of green electricity is to be ququickene. >> we have resolved not only to set things in motion but to keep an eye on it all, which we understand to be in the framework of the climate protection law so we can see how we are progressing. >> angela merkel seems to be on the defensive and was quick to criticism in the bud -- to nip criticism in the bud. >> this is where politics and scienc

and simply point oh ok this merkel in our stage doesn't. want to go we don't do that it was what you're saying he would also require germany to violate the extradition agreement that it has with the united states. we know that snowden wants to go home to the united states but if that is not possible europe does seem to be his best alternative i want you to take a listen to what members of the european parliament have been say. recent scandals such as decent gate blocks leaks the bundle of papers or cambridge i know it would not have come to light without the coverage of missile blowers. we now have a manual for lawful whistle blowing i think it was time for us to develop it. now and. she done if mr snowden had to be in european he would not be exiled in a little dutch in moscow. a little dutch in moscow i mean mr de do you agree with those members of parliament here in europe that snowden would have been treated differently had he been a european whistleblower instead of an american one. there are many case rests on its own facts and. mr sn

head of the german chancellor angela merkel's visit to china hong kong activists of address the german government in their quest for civil rights they're pleased to meet with chancellor merkel comes at the same time as their own government has conceded that demands hong kong protest leaders have appealed to germany to support their push for democracy and an open letter activist recalled german chancellor angela merkel's past growing up in the communist police state of east germany you have 1st hand experience of the terrorise of a dictatorial government we hope that you will express your concern about our catastrophic situation and that you will convey our demands to the chinese government during your stay in china. the german chancellor to travel to mainland china on thursday for high level discussions then no plans to meet with hong kong activists the government in berlin has been reluctant to intervene. this into favor of a solution based on the laws that apply to the citizens of hong kong of. in recent months hong kong has been rocked by dozens of sometimes my land mass on thai gov
