meets humanity. > talking climate change. the president of france is in china, the world's largest carbon emitter. you're watching al jazeera live from doha. also coming up on the program more bodies from the egypt plane crash arrived back in russia as the airline says there's external factors. a cyclone is bearing down on the em knee main-- em knee main land bringing pain.

>> translation: young? european your? it's not union we hear from volunteers helping in greece. the remains of more victims from saturday's plane crash in egypt's sinai province have arrived in russia. there's still confusion over what brought the plane down. metrojet says an external problem could have been the cause. this has been dismissed and analysis needs to be done. all 224 passengers and crew were killed. live from st petersburg. egypt's president has now come out and said the plane wasn't brought down by islamic state fighters. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: that's right. he said that in london, but that

hasn't stopped the speculation that terrorism was the root cause of this. the russia agency has a source in egypt among the people at the crash scene. they're quoting one person at that crash scene saying that there were elements found there that did not come from the aircraft. you can make what you will of that. metrojet, the airline company, says that it was not technical issues or pilot error. this was an impact by something outside. meanwhile, here behind me is the hotel where the relatives and the families are staying of those who died in the crash. they have been escorted individually to the morgue to start this very awful process of identification. so far they've got 140 bodies. they've identified nine of them and there are another 100 or so body parts.

it's a horrible experience for these families to go through and it's going to take some time before all will be identified peter, thank you very much, indeed, for that. the french president is beefing up efforts to find global support for a comprehensive climate deal ahead of a summit in paris. the meeting that begins later this month is aiming for a binding deal to slow the rising global temperatures. hallande has been looking for support in china, the world's largest emitter. >> translation: the climate is the biggest question facing us all. it will determine peace in the coming decades. it will equally decide the quality of life and even life. we would like the president and myself to be able to make a declaration ahead of the upcoming paris summit. this will commit both our countries to a deal, but will

also be seen as the foundation of an agreement in paris rob mcpr arcs di teachings-- mcbride joins us. it looks like this meeting has been' success. -- a success. >> he will be able to go back to france claiming so. this gives him encouraging signals ahead of these all important talks. the statements are all saying the right kinds of things. the biggest thing facing humanity and so. the other things that we have heard before. when it comes to facts and figures, it is lacking. there is knoche time for-- enough time for meetings to add the detail. we are hearing, for example, facts like a hundred billion dollars per year being the price tag that the developed nations will have to set aside from 2020. this is a figure that had been previously set in previous climb change talks that the developing

world says that they have now reneged on. that figure is back on the table again. they will have to stick to it, but there still seems to be a certain amount of writing in this declaration that does make you think there is possibly too much wriggle room for the people taking part, the countries taking part. for example, that this deal will still allow for strong economic growth or equitable social development while at the same time managing to hold the global temperature rise to within two degrees by the end of the century. there are probably some in the environmental too sphere that would say that's wishful thinking, a luxury that the world can no longer afford you know, china cooperation is vital in any kind of deal, but i guess china is worried about how any binding agreement is going to affect its economy. >> reporter: that is probably the strongest thing that

hallande will take away, that china is now on board, which is the biggest producer of carbon. it burns hassle of the world's coal and so far-- half. we see year on year china has relied upon cheap dirty coal, but we are seeing something in a transition in the past year. that figure seems to have levelled off. we are seeing genuinely p win efforts by china to develop more alternative forms of energy. so china which has been accused of scuffering previous attempts to tackle climate change, according to commentators here, we are seeing a different face of china ahead of the paris talks thank you for that. tropical cyclone chapala has had land fall in yemen. three people were killed and dozens more injured on the

island. the world meterology jail organisation said it was dangerous but it was down graded. the international federation of the red cross is on the ground in yemen. from the charity is live from us vie road accident skype. thanks very much nor joining us. just tell us what kind of destruction your stack have been seeing. we've been seeing that many homes have been washed away. >> well, the unit has mobilised to help. you could observe that we have seen many people that are affected and mostly some houses are collapsed and more than 10,000 people are displaced.

mostly they are in the east coast of some places near the coastal areas. so when it comes to other areas, what we have observed is that this morning there is an experience or they have observed a kind of strong wind and heavy rainfall and many roads are blocked and power supply has come down and communication is a problem. international federation of society with the support of others has been having a communication with the authorities to mobilise its help to the area. the situation is that people - i could explain to you is that

even though we see these masses, we alerted all the ground and permission has been sent to the coastal areas in order to provide information so that people could be evacuated from those areas and our response teams are already alerted and relief items have already been put in stand by position and other food items. sorry to interrupt, i just want to ask you a question about the fact that you mentioned micala which is dominated by al-qaeda. there's fighting going on in the country, there's also a humanitarian crisis in yemen. how much worse does a disaster like this make your job? >> working for the centre, we are working in difficult time, whether it is in conflict or in

disasters. our volunteers are all trained so that we can get confidence of the parties. of course there are many difficulties besides the fact that our volunteers are working there and so, i mean, of course it's not easy in terms of accessing those items, but somehow it is kind of better access for us thank you very much, indeed, for updating us there on the work of your organisation. >> thank you very much the iraqi politician, a controversial allie of the u.s. during the 2003 iraq invasion has died. the 71-year-old died of a heart attack in his residence. he helped persuade the u.s. that sadam hussein had weapons of

union? it's not a union. for me it's not a union at all. >> reporter: he is one of many here committed to helping. >> translation: i saw babies dying, elderly people almost dieing. i can imagine that you can live with yourself when this is your responsibility. >> reporter: the refugees, while extremely grateful for the help, their life won't get much easier any time soon, but for many choosing to say in their homeland may have been an even riskier option. >> translation: the choice between dying in the seas or dying in iraq, i take the sea. >> reporter: he tells me that he, his wife and four children had no other choice. in iraq it's the children who were sacrificed. minister, officers and presidents don't die. it's the children and the families who die.

here the kids are a priority. trying to make their fear recede, even if just for a few minutes. over 200,000 refugees arrived in europe by sea in october alone. that's roughly the same amount as arrived in all of 2014. aid workers here believe that huge increase in numbers is because refugees are trying to make this journey before their window of opportunity closes for good. >> reporter: many would be kept from crossing, the winter will prevent them from entering. camps were built, even the united nations refugee agency says more still needs to be done. >> we are issued a call-- we issued a call to the european union to both sides of the straight to get more ships out there and save more people because this is going to get out of control. >> reporter: on the beach emotions continue to ebb and flow. there is generosity all around,

but hardly any of it is state-sponsored. the volunteers drive these. they look for any way possible to help the chancellor has said turkey and greece must work together to stem the flow of refugees. >> translation: it cannot be right that we currently have a situation between turkey and greece, two nato member countries, where port augusta letters are in charge-- people smuggers are in charge. we must ensure legality again otherwise people smugglers will be able to bring more and more people amnesty international have croft greece and the ue not doing enough to stop the drownings. people are forced to take the dangerous sea root.
