Redefining borders was once something left to governments and armies but global warming is doing the very same thing for Switzerland and Italy. The two European countries have long use of Monte Rosa Mountains in the Southern Alps as a separation point however the formations glacier is melting so scientists and military experts are mapping a moveable border. Here is Franco Narducci from the Italian foreign affairs commission to explain. Once upon a time the border she was always related to wars and bloodshed.

We are back in the Naked News newsroom with me Ariella Banks. Here are a few more stories making headlines today. The Japanese government is under fire once again from environmental groups. They’re calling the recent announcement of greenhouse emission cuts appalling. Japan promised to reduce emissions by only 15% over the next 11 years. By comparison the European Union has promised us a 20% decrease over the same time period.
