the conference chair fiji begins proceedings a pacific island nation has been hit hard by rising sea levels also on the program . u.s. president donald trump tells north korea its aggressive behavior is a threat to the civilized world but he's open to talks with kim jong il. and a small town in the u.s. state of texas is in mourning after a mass shooting leaves dozens dead victims are reported to include a pregnant woman and several children. i'm phil gail welcome to the program the un's latest climate summit has begun in bonn representatives from one hundred ninety seven countries will spend the next ten days discussing ways to tackle climate change the conference opened with a traditional fijian welcome ceremony though the talks are being held in germany fiji was invited to take the chat as one of the country's suffering climate changes worst effects but the tiny island nation lacks of resources to host the event itself delegates are working to cap expected global temperature increases to one of the hof degrees celsius or less. instead of taking their seats in class they're taking

but fiji has been especially hard hit by climate change because of rising sea levels fiji was the first place in the world where an entire village had to be relocated because of climate change. the bonn meeting aims to flesh out the terms of the twenty fifteen paris climate agreement almost all countries have signed the accord only the u.s. has announced it is pulling out the deal requires that temperatures do not climb by more than two degrees it requires all countries to set their own climate goals it paves the way for billions in aid especially for poor countries but one will be a working conference without big decisions like those made in paris just thirty tonight at first it sounds pretty and spectacular but what we agreed on in paris in december twenty fifth teen is like a new worldwide law and something like that needs rules of interpretation. but donald trump stated intention to withdraw from the paris accord has cast a shadow over these talks so far other countries do not share his view. the three major storms in the caribbean combined with the u.s. backing out of the paris agr

that is hosted by fiji. well, the u.n. climate summit comes as president trump is in the philippines as part of his 13-day trip across asia. hours ago, trump met with philippine president rodrigo duterte on the sidelines of the association of southeast asian nations summit meeting in manila. trump said he has a great relationship with duterte, who has presided over a so-called war on drugs that has seen thousands of people killed by police or vigilantes. the meeting came after duterte sang a filipino love song during a gala dinner sunday night with other world leaders, saying later he sang it on the orders of president trump. this all comes just a few days after duterte bragged about having stabbed someone to death when he was 16. during duterte's campaign, he also joked about wanting to have been first in line for the gang rape of an australian missionary, who was raped and murdered in 1989. duterte said -- "she was so beautiful, the mayor should have been first. what a waste." duterte himself was the mayor of davao city.

it's being chaired by fiji. the pacific island has been experiencing the impacts of extreme weather. villagers from the small village of vunidogoloa deal with the effects of climate change everyday. we crossed live to fiji, now. barbara dreaver, pacific correspondent from tv—nz is there and joins me live. so you arejoining us so you are joining us from the village of vunidogoloa, where villages deal with these effects of climate change everyday? that is exactly right. we are standing in front of one of 18 houses that have actually been abandoned. it has been actually been abandoned. it has been a terrible situation for the villages. high tides and storm surges would sleep through, make it very u nsafe surges would sleep through, make it very unsafe or that villages to be here. about three years ago, they moved inland about three kilometres. it isa moved inland about three kilometres. it is a goes down here. moving has not been easy for these guys, because everything about the cost, it was about £300,000. just

see right there a traditional fijian welcome ceremony there the talks are being held here in germany fiji is sharing this conference as one of the countries suffering climate changes worst effects its prime minister warned that failure is not an option particularly for fiji. delegates are working at this conference to find ways to cap the expected global temperature increases at one point five degrees celsius or less we must not fade out people that means using the next two weeks in the head to do everything we can to make the bet is that women work and to advance emission and support for climate action before twenty twenty. two made out commitments in full not bicker way from them and to commit ourselves to the most ambitious target of the bet is that given to kept the global average temperature at one point five degrees celsius over that of the pre-industrial age. all right we want to pull in louise born she is our environmental issues editor she joins us tonight from the german city of bonn always good evening to you so people watching us tonight are going to think ok you had the paris

fiji is one of the lucky ones. there are coastal communities having to relocate, kitty vass does not have the luxury. two, three metres higher. they have nowhere to go to. that is why the government has bought five and a half thousand acres of fijian man. they are planning to grow produce on that land. fiji is hoping that by taking their neighbours and their own cases to the world stage, people will wake up and realise there are real people affected. barbara what's happening if the predictions are correct? the sea may rise by up to 18 centimetres by 2030. does not sound a lot, but a low—lying land, that will be quite devastating? absolutely. already in the village we went to yesterday, which has been abandoned because of rising sea levels, what would happen the higher tides willjust keep getting higher, storm surges would increasingly sweep through the village. became very u nsafe sweep through the village. became very unsafe for the people there. they had to move. it is no easy task. costing around £300,000 jus

and fiji is hosting the un climate conference that's about to kick off in bonn that is a leader in the global fight against climate change. i'm sumi so much going to welcome to the show police in the u.s. are investigating a mass shooting that left dozens of people dead at a church in texas witnesses said the victims include a pregnant woman and children as young as five years old investigators have not yet commented on the gunman's motive but president trump has called the attacker a doraine just individual and said mental illness not guns were to blame for the assault. a candlelight vigil for the victims of the fatal shooting at the first baptist church of sutherland springs residents of the small texas community struggled to make sense of what happened. i'm going to. take. you to. take. my hearing. authorities say twenty six people were killed and about twenty others were wounded sunday after a man dressed all in black opened fire inside the church the attacker is believed to be a former member of the u.s. air force who received a court martial for assault after leaving the church t

as you've already heard of fiji is particularly vulnerable to climate change our correspondent busted hard to send us this report on how the island nation is dealing with a threat that could leave it literally underwater. when rico goes out fishing this has become a familiar sight. emptiness. you're used to. when i was small i usually went out to sea with my grandfather and father but we didn't have to come as far as we are now we would only go as far as the closest reefs get a good catch and then go back home now it's different we have to go from one reef to the next because there's nothing that the sea is getting warmer well we don't know about. the changing climate is also taking its toll and. and ricotta village. the sea level is rising and. is slowly being swallowed by the ocean. the salt water makes the soil and fertile leaving behind only sandy barren land. that also corrodes the foundations of the houses. eventually the villagers have no choice but to give them up. when we built our homes we thought we could live here forever and i never thought of such a thing as climate chan

they said failure is not an option, particularly for fiji. delegates are working at this conference to find ways to cap the expected global temperature increases at 1.5 degrees celsius, or less. >> we must not fail our people. that means using the next two weeks and the year ahead to do everything we can to make the paris agreement work, and to advance ambition and support for change before 2020. to make our commitments in full, not back away from them. and to commit ourselves to the most ambitious target of the paris agreement, the cap of the global average temperature at 1.5 degrees celsius, over that of the preindustrial age. brent: we want to pull in louise osborne. she is our environmental issues it -- editor. she joins us from the german city of bonn. good evening to you. people watching us will think, you had the paris climate agreement two years ago. so why do need this conference in bonn now? louise: the paris agreement was very important and brought together the international community for the first time. but now it is about hammeri

well first let's take a look at the situation in fiji the small island state in the pacific ocean is chairing the conference as a new set in wants to influence the agenda because just like on many other island nations it is already experiencing the consequences of global warming. our correspondent in heartache sent us this following report on how fiji is dealing with rising sea levels caused by climate change. when enrico goes out fishing this has become a familiar sight. emptiness. you used. when i was small i usually went out to sea with my grandfather and father but we didn't have to come as far out as we are now we would only go as far as the closest reefs get a good catch and then go back home now it's different we have to go from one reef to the next because there's nothing there the sea is getting warmer. me. here in the shallows off the coast of a new level fiji second biggest island life is slowly dying the rising temperature of the ocean is killing the coral reefs and with them for the fish. the changing climate is also taking its toll on. and rico's village the sea level i

man conference to work out how to implement the twenty fifteen paris climate accord conference chair fiji warns that time is running out in the fight against climate change and finds a colorful way to say it also coming up we'll have a special report from fiji it's just one of many civic islands that have already been hit hard by rising sea levels. other headlines u.s. president on trial tells north korea it's aggressive behavior is a threat to the civilized world. that stands for that but in june and on the first leg of his asia tour trump also says he's open to talks with north korea's leader. of a small town in texas more and suffer a mass shooting there leaves dozens dead the victims are said to include a pregnant woman and several children. and a huge leak of documents shows how big corporations and the rich invest in tax havens will find out who has been implicated in the so-called. paradise paper. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us twenty fifteen marked a breakthrough in the fight to combat climate change the only two hundred nations signed the paris climate accord to

countries are going to pay me to help poor countries deal with the effects of climate change such as fiji and you've got these countries like these island nations that are demanding that they get compensation for having to move their people somewhere else and you have wealthy countries that are reluctant to say yes we will help pay are you sensing that in bonn right now. well it is a very important point that is that they are discussing a loss and damage that the people that are affected by climate change most don't have the resources to actually cope with it why the countries that have produced climate change like germany like the industrial states have don't want to pay for the for the damage they cause and they have cost over one hundred years and that's why we say as activists is our responsibility to help those countries out but first of all it's also our responsibility to stop climate change from happening here and that's why re re as a group moved in this at the sunday yesterday to the right on coal fields and really made very clear our demand for immediate code coal phase out to s

good morning and first let me just say which is the way we greet people in fiji thank you when i say that the impact is different for all of us i mean that here the impact of climate change might be. the seasons of each of the cold and the warm but in fiji it means whether we can continue to live in our land last night i had an interesting conversation with somebody from the german federal office and i was talking to him about cemeteries of our ancestors being washed away and he found that very shocking so for us that's an every day occurrence we have whole villages that are being washed away we have villages that have had to relocate we can't plant the kind of crops that we used to because the saltwater is intruding into our farmland so for us it really is a matter of survival a lot of our communities especially those who live around the coast and in fiji most of us do that ok is there are some serious threats that i certainly didn't know about thanks for filling us in on that now we did hear some optimism from fiji president he said that the needs of developing nations are taken in

the talks are being being chaired by fiji. the pacific island has been experiencing the impacts of extreme weather. a short time ago, i spoke to barbara dreaver, pacific correspondent from tvnz. she is in fiji where the villagers from the small village of vunidogoloa deal with the effects of climate change every day. we are standing in front of one of 18 houses that have actually been abandoned. it has been a terrible situation to the villagers, it happened was that high tides and storm surges were sweeping through there, making it very unsafe than to be here so about three years ago, they moved inland about two kilometres, it's a bit like a ghost town here. and moving hasn't been easy for these guys because if you can think about the cost, it was probably about 300,000 pounds and also just to probably about 300,000 pounds and alsojust to move, probably about 300,000 pounds and also just to move, just to relocate, and there with the emotional cost, leaving behind the graves of their loved ones has been extremely difficult for

fiji stick on the field side take law. and i want to. thank you should notice. before we go who was the only college that has been able to defend a was cup tie to the total pot sold he won the nine hundred thirty four and nine hundred thirty eight while cups with italy and he did so with a completely different squad and strategy for each of the time the men's. unfulfilled expectations can reduce even the toughest football fans to tickets. let's start with letdown legends know that it's. their fans that always among the best at every tournament popping around and singing they're loving it. but their team always full short of expectations three times they finished as well cup runners up at least the fans don't mind they just party on. they should take a leaf out of argentina's book. now that's real disappointment. the biggest disappointment of the bundesliga season is the video assistant referee . for weeks has been nothing but boss decisions glitches and arguments we expected those video referees to help but instead they just sit in an office pointing at screens.

the 2008 winners were shocked, beaten 4—2 by fiji. that kick proving the difference on what was a famous night for the fijians. they'll play the holders australia in the semi—finals. if england get through, they will be playing tonga. new zealand rugby union looking co mforta ble new zealand rugby union looking comfortable against scotland, the latest court 28—10 to new zealand. they were losing for a little bit, and it is 17—17 in the ireland against fiji match. manchester united still leading against newcastle at old trafford. there will be more sportsday on the bbc news channel throughout the evening. we will be back at 7:30pm. good night. good evening. not a bad evening for sitting in and watching sport, particularly across the southern half of the country. it has been miserable out there. it is rain, misty low cloud, it is going to take a while longer to clear. but it will clear for most of us, and once a while longer to clear. but it will clearfor most of us, and once it does it will be a cold night. it is already a cold e

we have a correspondent now in fiji, where the locals deal with the effects of climate change every day. 68 villages here in fiji have been identified as at risk from the effects of climate change —— villagers. four of them including this one have been relocated around two kilometres inland. we have been speaking with a lot of the villagers from here, and they say they are relieved to have been moved. they we re relieved to have been moved. they were fighting a losing battle against rising sea levels. storm surges and high tides would sweep through here, inundating homes. so, moving has been a good thing. but it hasn't been without challenges. there has been the cost factor. £300,000 to move one town alone. while the government has fronted the cost, villagers had to come up with the timber, which is very expensive for a small community like this one. there has also been the emotional factor, leaving behind the graves of loved ones, ancestors, parents and children, in some cases. it has been tough for these villagers. so that is why the people of fiji support their government's lead

at the aviva stadium, ireland are hosting fiji. fiji replied with three tries, drawing early in the second half. everything to play for and 17—17. an irish penalty with seven minutes to go to suppose the two teams, holding the nerve to secure the win. now, in a minute i'll be running through the day's premier league stories with our football reporter nick hatton, but we start with the game of day — the north london derby between arsenal and spurs at the emirates stadium. it went in favour of arsene wenger‘s arsenal side who took the game 2—0, much to the joy of their fans. for spurs, though, it's nowjust one win in their last 13 visits to their arch rivals. holly hamilton reports. struggling for a win against spurs in their last six meetings, arsene wenger has been playing catch up. over the last few seasons, north london has seen a shift in power, but these things are as changeable as the weather. after 36 minutes, arsenal opened the scoring after a controversial free kick, allowing this header to sail into the far corner.

work but of course climate change is of serious issue for many people we heard from one young boy from fiji earlier today who talked about the personal impact that climate change is having on him. to day isn't revolution that the threat from climate change is real edge and serious and is growing overnight. to the former president of america mr barack obama he states and i quote climate change is no longer some thought of it is up and here it is happening now and quote yes ladies and gentlemen this is real it is not i made him i already do things like this heavy gun to me what will happen if this reality these days it isn't gentleman speech isn't does the lots of the problem but walk the talk is more effective than change the mindset and set up platform in combating this environment don't use you for our next generation all right walk the talk is kid that was a young boy from fiji speaking about the impact the climate change is having on his island christopher with all the talks going on the last couple days do you get the feeling there in bonn that the emotional impact of climate change is

eastern germany's dwindling population we begin in the south pacific on the fiji islands rising sea levels are threatening low lying areas and coastal erosion is widespread it's especially hard for the village of. when it rico goes out fishing this has become a familiar sight. emptiness. i. when i was small i usually went out to sea with my grandfather and father but we didn't have to come as far as we are now we would only go as far as the closest reefs get a good catch and then go back now it's different we have to go from one reef to the next because there's nothing that the sea is getting warmer well we don't have. me. the changing climate is also taking its toll on. enrico's village. the sea level is rising and. is slowly being swallowed by the ocean. the salt water makes the soil and fertile leaving behind only sandy barren land. it also corrodes the foundations of the houses. eventually the villagers have no choice but to give them up. when we built our homes we thought we could live here forever and i never thought of such a thing as climate change and that it could impact us like

fiji will put that on the agenda. law moves us into courts of , and there is in fact an increasing trend for people taking their own countries, or other countries, to court over the losses and damages that they say they have suffered because of climate change. at the moment, the causal relationship between climate change and these losses and damages is still difficult to prove, but research, there is so much research going on on climate science and what they call attributional science. it's getting better and better. malte: it is important. i think climate isn't the same as weather conditions. we can't attribute climate change to every event we saw in these pictures, the tornadoes and the rising sea levels. rising sea levels, yes, but not tornadoes and other weather conditions. we need scientific, if the climatologists can p prove the link and the causal link between certain kinds of producing emissions and weather events, that would help a lot. i think the word scientists -- the work scientists are doing is important

conference take meaningful action to put the paris agreement into place and to save nations like this one fiji is being and gulf by a steadily rising sea which makes its presidency of this year's climate conference an all the more urgent mission it is the first small island nation to chair the conference which is taking place now here in germany the goals to build on the paris agreement by taking steps to limit carbon dioxide emissions and the activities that produce them activities such as mining and burning coal thousands of protesters say that has to end but at what price climate change who pays to save the planet that's the question we're posing today on quadriga and here are the guests we're going to answer at claudia kemp but she is the head of the energy transportation and environment department of the german institute for economic research she also serves as a member of the german advisory council on the environment which consults with the federal government and she says smart people don't waste time stuck in the past they invest in the. growth markets of the future markets that will b
