well i'm not even allowed to vote. and everyone with me to hold in every. day are you ready to meet the 2 of them and join me right just do it on d w. w news line from berlin police employees stabbed to death at a police station and friends after officers shoot and kill the attacker prosecutors launch a terrorism investigation also on the program a moral imperative to future generations u.s. president biden urges world leaders to make good on their promises on the closing

day of his virtual global climate summit. and chats better than rule or entrance to be is it leave till draft after dying in battle against rebels is causing has thrown the country into cranks isn't going to hamper the fight against jihadism and the entire stockpile of region. on the welcome to the program prosecutors in france have opened a terrorism investigation after a police worker was stabbed to death at a police station near paris 3 people thought to be connected to the attack or have been detained french president of money and mccall said the country would never give in to what he called islamist terrorism. a normally quiet residential area just outside paris. now the center of attention in france security

agents flooded the area investigating the killing of a police employee that occurred in an unlikely location. the police station is very well protected there is a protective lock and so people can't just walk in so the attacker waited for her to go and change her parking ticket the murderer caught her by surprise as she left the police station for just a moment and so it was really a cowardly barbaric attack to kill someone and to kill a policewoman. local media report that the attacker was a 36 year old man with no criminal record some witnesses say they heard him say allahu akhbar arabic for god is great as he stabbed his victim a police officer then opened fire on the attack at killing him there suggestions the man had previously scouted out the site.

the office of the national anti-terrorism prosecutor has taken charge over the investigation of the crimes committed here. the reasons for this are 1st how the events occurred which involved looking for a target. also the way the crime was committed. the profile of the victim but also the remarks made by the perpetrator at the time of the crime. the. president in my normal crime paid tribute to the police worker whom he identified as stephanie in a tweet he said the nation stood by her family he added in the fight against islamist terrorism we will not give up. islamist terrorism is again a worry for france. leaders from around the world have joined us president joe biden and setting bowl new climate targets and during a 2 day virtual global climate summit biden urged his counterparts to make good on

their commitments saying that in the fight against climate change there is no time to waste warning hello everyone good morning everybody i linked in for day 2 of the virtual climate summit the 1st day saw national targets for limits on emissions now topping the agenda innovation u.s. president joe biden playing up the economic advantages of fighting global warming. it's an opportunity to create millions of good paying jobs around the world in innovation and innovative sectors you know jobs of bring greater quality. greater degree of the people performing those jobs in every nation button says workers in traditional energy sectors must be offered new opportunities the u.s. wants to take the lead in developing green technologies stepping up the pace of

research and making more use of public and private investment and using just today's technologies won't allow us to meet army bases goals we need new 0 carbon products that are just as affordable that how what i call a green premium aabs erode. thank you prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced israel would freeze out cold by 2025 but experts say existing targets and schedules won't be enough to count global warming greed 1.5 percent my colleagues and me so it's gonna has been following the summit from washington so me and joe biden set out some very ambitious plans for us greenhouse emissions he wants to slash them in half by 2030 could these goals be too ambitious perhaps well that is so my question a lot of people are asking here in the coal and as you said the by the

administration has set itself this is an ambitious agenda and if you talk to climate analysts here they say that this really shows that the u.s. is heading in the right direction but there is a lot of skepticism that you're referring to whether this goal is really achievable and we also don't know what the road map is how the u.s. is planning to get to this 50 percent cut and president biden until now has been pretty light on the details i mean we heard him say that it's going to involve a lot of investment in renewable energy cutting fossil fuels and really overhauling the transportation sector so electrification of vehicles but at the end of the days we have to keep in mind nicole that this is a non-binding commitment there is a lot of opposition among republicans in congress he would have to also get a lot of big business and industry on board so yes the u.s. is aiming higher than it ever has but it's going to be very tough to get there the pair is agreement established clear goals on climate change what did joe biden announce this week. well there's not much new to call this really was

a lot about symbolism about showing that america is back and it wants to lead on climate change and to restore trust among our allies but really the by the restriction i think was hoping for more concrete commitments than it actually got so you know we only saw 2 countries pledge new targets on emissions that was canada and japan a lot of people were looking to see what china would do china's the world's biggest polluter and she basically reiterated what the country had already planned which is to get to net 0 by 2060 and to strictly control coal power but again there was nothing concrete there india as well didn't promise anything new so there is some disappointment perhaps that there wasn't any and the new pledges that the buy demonstration of and looking for but we know that joe biden will be heading to the u.k. in brussels in june we found that out on friday and he's really going be focusing on strengthening alliances so i think we can expect that climate change is going to be very high on the agenda there joe biden says he sees huge opportunities in

developing green technologies but do u.s. companies agree with them there well you know joe biden has made the argument that this is going to be crucial to make a clean energy sector that is competitive with the rest of the world but there is as i said a lot of pushback republicans here say this is going to kill the economy this is going to see millions of jobs lost that being said i think it's important to point out that earlier this week the biggest coal mining union said it would back president biden's plan as long as those jobs are replaced the people essentially are not displace so there is a feeling among the biden ministration among officials there that there is more momentum behind this plan and there is optimism that at least he will be able to convince some people in the economy that this is the right way forward to building a correspondence and we so much kind of thank you very much. so you can look now at some other stories making headlines around the world at this hour u.s.

health officials say the use of the johnson and johnson coated 19 vaccine can resume immediately summations using the single dose shot were temporarily stopped 11 days ago after reports of rare but potentially fatal blood clots but experts agree the vaccines benefits outweigh the risk of blood clotting. british socialite gilling maxwell has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking charges that allege she helped the late financier jeffrey epstein recruit and sexually abused girls she entered her plea before a judge in manhattan her trial is set to start in july but her lawyers are seeking a delay for additional preparation. and 1000 people have marched through armenia's capital here of on to commemorate the estimated 1500000 ethnic armenians killed by ottoman turks in 1950 and the mass killings are widely regarded by

historians as the 1st genocide of the 20th century turkey rejects the term. around 30 countries including germany have officially recognized their meaning in genocide but not the united states this saturday all eyes will be on washington as president joe biden is expected to make a major announcement on the topic to double your reporter joel garreau is following those joe what exactly. are we expected to hear from joe biden well for the 1st time the u.s. president is expected to officially recognize the armenian genocide now this would mark a major shift in u.s. diplomatic policy because up until now u.s. leaders have instead referred to those events of over a century ago as a great evil but on friday president biden held a phone call with president of on of turkey now reuters news agency is reporting that during that cold biden told of on that he will in fact be making an

announcement to officially recognize the armenian genocide we'll find out in a matter of hours if he does and if he follows through on that it would also mark the fulfillment of a campaign promise made by biden the candidate on the trail campaign trail as the one year ago today but this is a highly contentious issue right turkey categorically rejects the term genocide and what could this do to you. usar accumulations well we got an idea of that back in 2019 when the u.s. congress although not the president passed the resolution to recognize the armenian genocide and that triggered a diplomatic spat with turkey turkey later went ahead and completed a major deal with russia to buy are you a missile defense system instead of using a u.s. one and turkey is again warning that relations could sour if biden goes ahead and makes this announcement but it does appear if the reports are correct that biden is willing to take that gamble here's a symbolic an ounce mint that could be awaiting us there tomorrow but what would

actually change if biden did recognize the armenian genocide as such well it would basically be another of the major series of major policy announcements the bottom has been making as he sees to reset relations between us and the rest of the world following the trump years and it does seem that this issue is quite important to biden personally here's what he said a year ago he said we must never forget or remain silent about this horrific and systemic campaign of extermination if we do not fully acknowledge commemorate and teach our children about genocide there would never again lose their meaning now recognizing the armenian genocide would be largely symbolic in terms of international relations but it would also appear that it's going to be important to biden as he tries to shape his legacy. will be waiting to see what binds us and thank you very much. chad has held a state funeral for a long time ruler interest in b. he died on tuesday after battling rebel forces president de vere old the central
