the, the business needs to be a news live from ballot. swiss pension is when a t court ruling against their own governments. european codes, human rights upholds the complaint that's fairly up to act on climate change. puts the mattress. but it throws out similar claims from portugal. i'm from also coming up. lawyers tell the u. n's top colt that german support for israel does not preach international very strongly rejected client buying the car. rog love that. germany's is helping israel committee alleged genocide in gus

plus fall and crime and germany rises, shop, played with many suspects from overseas. increase is fueling at the price on toughening immigration. the gulf is welcome to the program. europe's top human rights court has ruled in favor of a group of swiss pensions as well on here with the government, put them at risk by not doing enough to prevent climate change. it's a landmark decision that could influence legislation across europe and give a boost activists who say that governments are failing to tackle. trying to change of these women have made climate history some 2500 swiss pensioners through their own government because its handling of the claimant crisis put their health at risk . the european human rights courts and strossberg funds ruled in their favor. a

landmark decision cementing the idea that governments clements in action can violate human rights. as the step is to talk, this is the best they. yeah. that's we have the right thing history. and as i pushed on the way i understood it, switzerland has done too little, took up the time of crisis and violated human rights. that's a nice victory bagley's. i do not see. some of the applicants use their own medical records to support the case. they said that heat weights which has become stronger and more frequent with climate change are especially risky for them as elderly women, 16 of the grand chambers, 17 judges voted in favor of this with women's associations. as a result, they concluded that this was government failed to meet emission targets and that it should have examined the associations complaints europe. that'd be the ruling will be communicated to switzerland and it will have certain measures that switzerland will have to perform to do more to name and more. but the plaintive stress, the ruling isn't totally for their benefit. yeah,

i understand other bits at all when all affected, not only all the women, it's been proven that they're out the greater risk. but it's important that everyone has kid phones. that's good. all they can sort of to be. i was told that this was the associations case wasn't the only one the courts considered today. 6 young people from portugal suits 32 european countries because increasing climate extremes, like the wild, far as in portugal, make the planet unlivable for future generations. a former french mer also suited his own government for not taking significant steps to fight climate change, but the court ruled both cases as in admissible on procedural grinds. still the one when of the day to change the future of climate litigation is the 1st time a powerful court has ruled on climate change and it could set a precedent for more people all taking that government to court holdings. there is some responsible for their actions and this, as a result of this can meet in no way that we get feedback. this means that we have to fight even more the beginning because in the time its emergency,

everything is that state. the effects could be felt in courts across europe, or even the world. as brand, christina, folk cheese professor at the university of also the department of international progressive justice routing now set a precedent for floods of law suits as well. formally, it does not set a precedent for any other case, but it is of course, a very important finding because it's the 1st all thoughts. it's of judgment that we have from a super national quote that the victory links human rights violations to in efficient or non vicious accident on climate change. now how will this then affect legal practice across the u. l. it's a, it's a very important indication that governments have to step up their game in order to protect human rights and governments on over the world and in the new as well uh,

legally responsible to take appropriate measures to protect human rights. and in order to do so, we're now told they also have to take emissions climate change action with using greenhouse gas emissions to net 0 by 2050 heading effective measures in place to get there. and to ensure that they actually reach that goal. so that link is very important for decision makers for move makers for implementers, but also for other quotes proceedings with white and can have very important big protections in other quotes. but those other international quotes. and then many proceedings ongoing, which i kind of waiting for that judgement from staff group that we have now. now let's talk about the 2 other cases that has been, have been dismissed. that seems like a set back full time and active is amy for stronger government action. uh, how do you see these decisions affecting future legal strategies? yeah, well, they were dismissed on procedural grounds. and,

and that does not really come as a surprise. you have to provide proof that you are a victim of a government, a action, and that in particular, the portuguese case that you have exhausted domestic vanities. you have to go to your national chords. first, they have to lose their and then you can go to strasbourg. that's the stablish legal requirements, and it doesn't really come as a surprise that these 2 other cases cut in versus funds and the put a case case were dismissed, but it's not really is such back because we do have one case that now gives us a very clear indication of who is the victim. that was the association of climate senior women. and we have an input take you the findings on the merits, on the direct relationship between human rights violations and state actions. so i don't think it is very is that's backed up. the other 2 cases are ruled out, but then many more cases to come to another 9 cases that i know what a to,

to for the court to decide. now let's look ahead a bit different than the national coal. it's across europe. a play a more prominent role in holding governments accountable. most likely they've already been doing that. we have a whole life of time and 50 jason in many countries already ongoing for the last decade or so. uh, but i think that climates integration based on human rights arguments is something that we probably will see more off infused by the reasoning from the european court on, on human rights. now, as i noticed in europe, as i just said, global global phenomena. now what other legal avenues might be explored by back to this as well other legal avenues then then, then quotes are going to be we see of course, a request to the highest quotes in the world. the, the, the international quote of best is, for example, has a request to advisory opinion on states obligations to protect the climate system

that goes above and beyond human rights. the dust include human rights, but also asked about what a sentimental legal obligations under international law to protect the climate system, for example, and the loved the ceo, the united nations, talk to us. so these are um undecided questions which i know put to the highest quote in the world. but i'm also sure that the international court of justice will have a good reading through what came out of stress book today. thank you very much question a full blow professor at the university of also you're welcome to another cold case, a different one though. germany has presented its defense at the international court of justice to an accusation of facilitating alleged genocide in gaza. nicaragua was seeking to hold german weapons exports as well, claiming they are potentially being used to commit what they call genocide. germany rejects the accusations,

saying it is trying to balance his responsibilities to both israel and the palestinian people. israel security is that the core of german foreign policy, that is how germany justified it's don't support of israel as it rejected in nicaragua, as accusations at the i. c. j. germany has learned from its post posts that includes the responsibility for one of the most of the crime since human history the show. but despite that history, nicaragua says germany's military support of israel is in breach of the genocide convention in germany is israel, 2nd largest supplier of arms and the colorado. it says those exports are enabling, is rarely forces to commit to potential acts of genocide in gaza. application in the gym and he says the accusations on not placed on facts and the let me only supplies on the basis of detached scrutiny. the scrutiny,

the only respect but far exceeds the requirements of international law. it all cued if in nicaragua has grossly distorted the quantities and purposes of balance palms exports to israel. and if we look at what has actually been license for export to israel under this framework since october 2023, we see no artillery shells, no munitions. nearly all experts the exports involve what is known as of the military equipment, typically of a subordinate or defensive nature. position is israel's conduct in gaza. it's central to this case and germany question how the quote can rule without israel's presence to allow it also lash down to that nicaragua for focusing on israel's actions too. but ignoring those of from us fire. unlike nicaragua, germany is not blind to the fact that thomas also has publications under

international humanitarian law including towards the civilian population in gaza. so don't need that, how much not to comply with its complications, but it also renounces standing responsibility in the most significant manner. the judges must now decide whether to impose emergency measures to holtz german onto exports, to israel. biopsies, political or does that mean here, the keys minutes, following this case for us. and she gave me this assessment that it is that the sort on. so basically the dumb inside argue today that there was an i quote, no basis. in fact, no of the accusations made that in this quote, alleging that many was the policy assisting in what the correct were called a genocide allegedly taking place in gauze of right now. and that very question of whether that was a genocide was already in this court in january when south africa to proceedings

against israel. and the very same court did not come to the conclusion that there was a genocide actually happening at the same time is obliged israel to take steps to prevent the side from happening. so clearly a recognition that there was a very serious humanitarian situation to say the very least. and we also sold the tubman farm and this to come out today commenting on these proceedings and highlighting the commitment of meet with israel. it's right to defend itself against the act of terrorism on october 7th by hamas. but also speaking of germany's efforts to basically count to what she described as a di lemme posed by how mos fielding behind civilians that is following also israel's line of argument saying that it must ad will sit in the face of such difficult conditions at the same time we see that continued criticism and this tool,

so you and security council resolution that cool for an immediate hold to the pricing that we're seeing happening now will apparently take some time before that court ruling or any court ruling will be pronounced. what impact can legal action have on a conflict like the one we're seeing right now in gaza? it cons have an impact on what is actually happening on the ground. because many people who are suffering there are some things running out of time. and what it does have an impact on is the political debate of, of what is taking place in gaza and hit united states. and germany are seen as pretty much the last 2 powerful nations backing israel's actions that we're also seeing the human rights council of the un, which israel basically reject calling for an end for arms of arms delivery. so that's also part of these proceedings. and so this is part of

a political debate and also political campaign to put pressure on israel and his allies to ascend, sleep, stop the, the death of civilians on the ground and history will decide what actually took place is your location of the thank you very much let's have a look now at what else is happening in the wild authorities, a warning of more flooding to come and southern russia, water levels in the euro river and are still rising, following the collapse of several dikes, thousands of hats to leave homes near the border with cars like stone uses much was the hosses on record, and the 10th straight months of recording temperatures exceeded the pre industrial average by 1.68 degrees celsius. scientists say the heat is down to rise in greenhouse gas emissions. the china is foreign minister, one uses badging will step up corporation with russia. the 2 nations have been

working more closely together recently despite the invasion of ukraine rushes for a minute. so say good luck. ralph is in badging for tools in the islands. parliament has voted in simon harris as prime minister. there were some faces the america, who resigned abruptly last month. the 37 year old from the governing sense of rights in a gale ponti will be orleans youngest from is ecuador form of vice president. hardware loss has been hospitalized as days of the ecuadorian police store, the mexican embassy to arrest and mexico comfortable magic ties. following this, incidents present authority said glass was taken to the naval hospital after refusing to eat. the odds of nations says 38 bodies have been recovered from a ship wreck off the coast of 2 booty, children among the dead. and at least 6 people are missing local authorities,

helping a group of survivors. the boat was carrying around 60 microns from 2 booty to him, and each year, thousands of microns follow the so called eastern route, from africa, through human, to saudi arabia and europe. and joining me now for more and this is yvonne and david of the international organization of migration. the narrow became the yvonne is that still the hope of finding any most of us as well. it doesn't seem so at least $38.00 bodies happen and recovered from this vessel that sank off the coast of to boot. see among them children, women's young people and the elderly. and at least 22 people who managed to escape the shall break up being supported by ireland international organization for migration and local authorities. the rescue recovery operation is still ongoing,

but it seems very unlikely. the migrants who perished in this latest tragedy will actually be found to live. now the people on that boat well headed for yemen, where many migrant strides across to saudi arabia is this incident part of a bigger problem. it will be in summation we've received that iowa and international organization for migration is evolving and is changing. what we now know is that this particular vessel was leaving yemen for get to see. now what we have is a situation where you have tens of thousands of migrants who leave the coast of the region. they leave to go to t, trying to get to saudi arabia to cross over the board with the evidence to saudi arabia. in this particular situation, what we have discovered, what we have found is that these individuals maybe didn't make it,

they couldn't quite get across the border so they were returning. so what we have is mixed migration flows. that is african migrants who tried to leave the whole in a buffer car across the many border hoping to get to saudi arabia to find jobs. and then we have those who don't make it to try to return. and in this particular incident and situation, it appears that these why might go through the whole of africa, primarily somalia, and the few p a who are now trying to get back to duty. maybe to try again. maybe some of them to try and reach the countries of origin. but we know that many migrants try to read 0, both in a crowd of both. the thing is how busy is that particular place that in the gulf of 8 and as well, the eastern migration you are limited to and your insurance is one of the most complex. and one of the most under reported migrate to reroute in the world.

probably massively under reported because it is so difficult to access some of these areas. um, now what we have found is that most of these migrants are trying, as i said earlier, to reach the goals, nations where they are, problem is jobs and opportunities. many of them are very sadly exploited by people trapped because and smugglers who promised them that they will get to work when they get to the country of, of desire destination. that often doesn't happen as we seen in this tragic situation. unfortunately, many of them don't end up getting to that those destinations that they want to get to. now. i a, when the international organization for migration and $4748.00 other organizations, including state patrol trends, other things, refugee council repeating $412000000.00 to respond to the immediate humanitarian lead. okay, i'm afraid we lost the line that was evolving. dig it from the international

organization, off of migration. thank you very much. you'll figures show a sharp rise in crime in germany last year. police process nearly 6000000 offenses . that's 5 percent off on the previous see a violent crimes reached a 15 year high and a half of all criminal suspects do not hold a german passport. recognizing calls for tough immigration control. interior administers pledge to speed up the port taishan off phone offenders. a fake advice, the leak last year, the police registered 14.5 percent more non german suspects. the violent defense has been in the previous year. again, there is no justification and no excuse for violence. in short, even sweetie, compared to the principal of 0 tolerance, applies in the case of form perpetrators, in addition to the immediate consequences of the criminal. lo,

how it also means that they must leave germany much more quickly than was previously the case. said if anyone who does not abide by the rules must leave his political correspondence um, and young joins me now. and some of the stock cries, they had known john and suspects. do we know why that is? well, get ahold. i think you have to see 1st of all, the overall context that you've already mentioned, namely the overall rise in crime and it's going up in all the different sectors involved in crime, use crime effects and break ins, and so on level going up. so these kinds of committed by all kinds of people, including by those who don't have the gym and nationality. and so the 3rd is the thing with the continuing high level of it with migration to gemini, that is increasing the proportion of the for and is in the overall population. and so the, the absolute numbers are going up and the proportion is going up as well. they also

point out a lot of these people are living in difficult circumstances, for instance, in asylum hospitals or reception centers, where there's a lot of pressures and that may lead to crime their economic situation is difficult . some of them have experience traumatic war and violence. so that too may be part of the background leading to a involvement in crime. now interior minister ministry phase of the mentions deportations in addition to criminal penalties. is that really an option? well up to a point, i mean the, it's already the case that for asylum seekers, he just saw the map. occasions have been turned down to juvenile sources. do prioritize deporting that group and for all those who don't have gym and nationality, the government has recently changed the law. busy or to make it easier, for instance, to send home people who are convicted of multiple crimes within

a year. but in some cases the german states have been a bit slow to really implement those things. i think this what the interior minister is talking about probably will come down to clearing away a bit of red tape and speeding up some of the bureaucracy around deportations rather than actually a major change in policy. and now what's been the reaction to the latest figures in germany? well, law i'm, i think for many sectors but in particular opposition politicians, especially those from the conservative the say to you have a really picked on this migration aspect and saying, you know, this is a challenge sufficient to sort of balance on some government weakness. they say the government is too lax on migrations like table to a debates in the book this dog for wednesday to look into the causes of bass. they really want to make some capital out of it. i think they, they say that it is a life concern. so a part of the electorate, perhaps

a growing sector of the electorate. people are worried about migration and that hoping there is some votes in it. so then let's go correspondence on young with for us. thank you, so i'm are now millions of sky watches. i've witnessed a red total solar eclipse in north america. the moon's shadow travelled across the continent from mexico to canada. so it was lucky enough to be in the path of tow tallahassee sold the moon completely, cover the sun and briefly turned a tonight the last slip of lions before the sun this swallowed up by the moon. then a single bright speed of lights, like the jewel on the diamond ring. before to tell it to the sky, gazes across north america retreated to once in

a lifetime view is so beautiful. oh, my goodness. listen for the birds. i don't hear any during totality. the sun's atmosphere, the corona is visible and you can see flash on the sun surface. some of them the size of our own planet. a solar eclipse is the consequence of a cosmic co incidence. the sun and the moon appeared the same size in our sky. even though the sun is some 400 times larger and every now and then the moon passes directly between us and the sun, blocking out its lights and creating a path where when eclipse is visible. for those in the center of the path, the eclipse is total. with every kilometer you move of that path,

the coverage gets less. a total eclipse usually happens once or twice every yes, somewhere around us. but it's not often that the path of totality processed through a densely populated colorado, like this one from mexico, through the united states and into canada. and just the southern, as it disappeared, the sun returns. the sky is again filled with lights. as the moon's shadow dissipates, but those who stood in its path, well, remember it forever. you're watching dw new. this is a reminder of our top story. a new code of human rights has back swiss pension. this will say that governments failure to act on fine. the change violates the human rights. first time the court has accepted such an offer.

and that's it from me and the new scene. for now, i will have a world news update for you at the top of the hour course, but do not go away up next global oss look, looks at the impact of globalization on business and gonna get out office in berlin. excellent. the
