Please please please please please explain. To me. This is d w news live from berlin do you want issues that urgent new warning on Climate Change it says we must act now to prevent disasters that will occur if Global Temperatures rise much further its called the next few years probably the most important in human history. Also coming up for by politicians i are both sonata has won the first round of brazils president ial election he will face a left wing candidate for not doha dodd in the runoff in three weeks time a dog has warned of voters that pose an otto is a threat to democracy and u. S. Backed kurdish troops step up the battle to expel the socalled Islamic State from a stronghold in Eastern Syria these troops are preparing for their last charge here in Syria Against right as if they would within the next weeks is going to be a Turning Point for them thats why theyre preparing every day. D. W. Is embedded with the n. T. I. As a coalition and reports from the frontline plus china opens a Bribery Investigation into former interpol chief magna holiday this is just days after the chinese nationals wife reported him missing his last message a nice. And it was a memorable sunday in the border state as life state overwhelms an armed guard at frankfurt were reduced to ten men but they still beat hoffenheim. Im sorry kelly welcome to the program u. N. Climate scientists have issued their strongest warning yet on the risks of rising temperatures they say that we need to take unprecedented steps to avert the worst effects of Climate Change and that we need to take those steps now they include changing the way that we consume Energy Travel and construct buildings and if we fail to act we will face more heat waves flooding extreme weather scenes like this could become more frequent if the world does not act now thats the message of scientists on the uns Climate Change panel whose job was to work out what governments must do to implement the promise accorded twenty fifty. First Climate Change is already affecting people ecosystems and library which all Around The World. Second the median warming to one point five degrees is not impossible
but will require precedent to transitions in all aspects of Society Third there are clear benefits to keep warming to one point five do research as compared to two degrees or higher every bit of warming matters. The goal needs to be implemented by twenty thirty but scientists fear will fail to hit it will immediately fact a failure will be more global heatwaves resulting droughts would mean poor harvests impacting the global food supply and harming countries that rely heavily on agriculture. Or other parts of the world would suffer from an increase in heavy rains and hurricanes these Weather Patterns combined with rising sea levels could lead to more frequent and severe flooding the scientists on the uns panel say its the final call the governments everyone must act the message is over to governments that stage weve told you before you the scientific facts the evidence
the course it is up to the governments no to decide what to do with it. Avoiding scenes like this will be hugely expensive so the scientists but it has to be done and its still possible if the world acts now. And we are joined now by dean dean she is the head of the Environment Team here and sonia i mean warnings about rising temperatures about Climate Change are not uncommon but how what is different about this report and why should we be so concerned. Well it seems that this one point five degree limit is a lot more important than was originally considered so the difference between one point five and two degrees of warming is really a massive difference as this scientific report has now shown take for example coral reefs under one point five degrees theyll survive there will still be some reefs will lose seventy to ninety percent of them but there will be some there under two
degrees were looking at almost a complete decimation ninety nine percent of all the Coralie Reefs will be gone and that is a complete huge implication for peoples livelihoods for Food Security people who live off the sea so thats just one example of how this difference actually is a lot more significant theyre saying one point five is the new two degrees the report also calling for dramatic action like transforming the economy at a speed on a scale that has no documented historic precedent what does that mean. Well the skill you could say is president s have because if you consider how our societies have changed over the past centuries and how our Energy Systems have changed how our mobility has changed that has actually that scale has been seen but what would be new is the speed with which it would have to take place because basically with the massive cuts that would be required for one point five degrees
were talking forty five percent by twenty thirty so basically the next few years will be very decisive for the future of whether we can still attain this limit or not and we all know that i mean one of the issues right now is really a political well by where were seeing some opposition to the Paris Climate Accord among some governments Around The World but what can all of us do ourselves. Well the most important thing is do something dont just sit there and close your eyes and imagine that this isnt happening because it is happening it will dramatically affect us and affect our future generations so take action and probably the most effective thing that you can do is come together with other people and demand. Of our governments that they take action that they implement the policies that need to be implemented hold our politicians accountable of course voting in the right
people as well those are all things that we can do song again the head of Environment Team thank you. Its time for business with ben physical and we are also talking about Climate Change today very true this is Nobel Prize For Economics has been awarded to two researches for their work on Climate Change and innovation the Royal Swedish Academy of sciences said that u. S. Economists will you know house and a received the award for their work integrating innovation and Global Warming with Economic Growth along with a prize the two researchers will receive a million u. S. Stole as Economics Prize is not fully a nobel prize it was created by the Swedish Central Bank in One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty nine in memory of how for no. I dont have a comment from to get your business joins us to tell us more about these two guys again now the two men whove won the oil and exactly tell us a bit more about these mit so William Nordhaus of Yale University hes called the
father of Climate Change economics hes been doing this kind of Research Since the seventys hes a true pioneer in that field and then we have full roam of New York University hes more looking into Innovation Technological Change and how this drives growth theyve both been rumored to actually win the nobel prize for a couple of years now and to finally have and i guess its interesting that hes been working on this topic for such a long time because it gives him a really good insight into how things are changing but tell us more about what theyve specifically been rewarded for so nordhaus is essentially asking how can we grow the economy without destroying our planet you know this is the question hes set up a model in which he sees an investigates the connections that the economy and the climate have and in that with this model you can predict how policies like a carbon tax that has been discussed for many years now what effect that would
actually have a Global Warming. On the other side as i said before hes talking about technology and how this affects grow. He says ideas are very central to keeping growth alive but only in certain circumstances it is that ideas can actually you know come to life so what circumstances are these thats his research of ok so in other words its not always a good idea may not always be good or good for the environment at least now i find it very interesting that this announcement comes on the very day that climate activists saying weve really got to do something now to save our planet is the timing a coincidence i mean absolutely the report that came out underlines once again that is one of the Biggest Challenges that were facing and i think this prize just shows the economy is such a big contributor to Climate Change to Global Warming so it actually just makes sense to look for solutions there and the committee has awarded these these two
economists who are looking for answers on exactly these Big Questions so the timing is just right thank you very much for coming in today this is winners of the noble Economics Prize as you heard there William Nordhaus and paul roma thank you very much for such a school for preset entered changes to find Global Warming the International Energy agency has issued its annual report it says even though the share of green energy is growing Around The World by twenty forty were new bills will account for just eighteen percent of the energy use well short of the agencys sustainability target. Renewables will be the Fastest Growing part of the global elec tricity sector the report says theyll provide almost a third of power demand in twenty twenty three from about a quarter in twenty seventeen renewables currently make up more than thirty percent of germanys energy makes us almost forty percent of the countrys energy needs are
still met by burning coal. Thirteen percent comes from Atomic Power Stations compared to about a third from a nubile energy like wind and solar power. And other sources top up the rest of the energy mix. For love for new bills are forecast to account for more than seventy percent of growth in global elektras city generation according to the International Energy agencys reports. Solar Photovoltaic Technology followed by Wind Hydro Power on bio energy are expected to lead the field in terms of growth but hydroelectric power remains the largest renewable source meeting sixteen percent of global elec tricity demand by twenty twenty three. But despite the growth in the renewable sector the i. A. E. A. Warns it wont be enough to meet long term climate and sustainability goals the agency says the areas which are not moving to a new bills quickly enough are transported and hes saying vote for home fund
industry. Thank you so much ben were heading to brazil now because far right politician. Has won the first round of brazils president ial election grabbing forty six percent of votes he will now face a runoff in three weeks time against left winger fernando had dodd who finished a distant second. To attract support by promising to fight corruption and restore what he called traditional values his opponents say he poses a threat to democracy and the largest country in latin america. So not all supporters believe hes going to turn the country around and sundays results gave them reason to celebrate their Candidate Share of the votes surged past pollsters predictions i guess the country is under siege within the government and on the streets we need to end this and hes the most capable of doing so no
doubt about it now on my son. Was a big problem in the images im sure jackie was not the only one was. Also narrow didnt appear in person after the Election Results were announced the full Military Officer was staffed at a Campaign Rally last month and doctors are still wary of his health but he did appear on social media. Im sure that in the second round we will intensify our efforts and will obtain the victory. The sixty three year old has vowed to crack down on corruption and criminals. But opponents have condemned incendiary comments from boston are all about women and Minority Groups during the campaign. Also now is also being criticized for his plan to give Police Officers a free a hand to shoot Drug Traffickers his price for the Military Dictatorship the group brazil from Nine Hundred Sixty Four to Nine Hundred Ninety Five has also alarmed
critics. I his opponent a leftist candidate for nando how says electing a ball so narrow could pose a risk to democracy i told supporters he would now concentrate on the second round and called for calm. Doesnt mean we will face that debate with respect we go on to the democratic battlefield with just one weapon the argument we dont carry guns out of those who are the final runoff for the presidency as shadowed for the twenty eighth of october. And also lotto success marks another notable victory for. And populist in Global Politics and as you have already heard social media is playing a key role called last night of course from data via social media and therefore is joining us now to break down how exactly this happened because any wellstone r. O. He was really regarded as a french figure right even though he has been in the Brazilian Congress for almost
thirty years. How has bee he been using social media in particular to boost his profile i mean hes been around he was a mayor for a long time but still kind of relatively unknown mission you can see his Rival Fernando Dodd has only a little around you know a quarter of a million thats a big difference a huge difference and thats something that both sorrow was able to use as kind of a big edge for him you know hes not backed by a big party doesnt have those typical resources that you would otherwise have the traditional resources instead he really did use facebook to get his message out there and to get his voters out there in fact after that near fatal stabbing last month that we heard about he kept campaigning and he did so on facebook take a look actually this is from his Hospital Room he went live on facebook with a video he kept broadcasting several speeches interviews live on facebook these god more than million more than a million views per video and this was actually instead of going to the most important t. V. Debate so he kind of avoided the criticism instead took to facebook and broadcast
it live he has a big backing as well from several high Profile Brazilians on Social Media Famous Brazilian footballer ronald denio has expressed his support on twitter for him and you know social media its a Family Business as well one of his sons who is also a politician has a big twitter account he posted recently a picture of steve benen President Trumps former Campaign Adviser so clearly using some trumpy in tactics by going straight to social media going straight to the people but what about the role of social media and spreading socalled fake news yeah i mean that is definitely a problem in this election in brazil is a big focus from facebook and Mark Zuckerberg but really its on whatsapp that are you see a lot of this. New spreading is used by more than half the population of brazil One Hundred TwentyMillion People are on one stop and this is the main battleground there for fake news its so hard to combat because all this is happening in closed groups of supporters we can hopefully show you just one example of kind of what were talking about when it comes to fake news this is
a video that was circulating why leave had millions of views supposedly it shows people attacking a car because it had a pick sticker in the window supporting olsen or oh turns out thats not true this is from twenty seventeen this was a protest against the current president Michel Tame Air that video was actually finally debunked then by a group of journalists in brazil theyve been wor
