5:02 am
>> now it is no secret that n.a.t.o. faces a series of security challenges from all directions, from the syrian civil war, the refugees, the threat by d.a.e.s.h. which is immediate, in this city, paris and other place, to the unsettled conflict in ukraine. so as a result n.a.t.o. has to be able to respond to each of these dangers and more. which is why it matters so much that the alliance continues to speak with a single voice. since this alliance was formed more than six decades ago, a lot of people have tried to divide us. but our meetings make clear
5:03 am
again our unity and resolve is strong. just as we have for nearly 70 years, n.a.t.o. allies will stand together and meet any challenge to our collective security. on syria and d.a.e.s.h., every alliance member expressed clear backing for the efforts of the international syrian support group. in order to facilitate syrian led negotiations for a ceasefire and for political transition in keeping with the geneva communiques. and also in order to isolate and defeat the terrorists. nothing will do more than to defeat d.a.e.s.h., and bringing closer to the day when refugees from that battered land can return to their homes, to their
5:04 am
communities. yesterday i called on every n.a.t.o. ally to step up its support for the fight against d.a.e.s.h. striking at the core in syria and iraq. strangling its effort to set up networks elsewhere and defend are our ally in the region, jordan and lebanon particularly. i was gratifying that a number of allies are bringing more to the battle, or are planning the commitment. yesterday we confirmed a commitment to maintain at persistent presence on the n.a.t.o. edge, deploying forces on land see and air though provide achurns as we have called it: nothing that is offensive and defensive to
5:05 am
strengthen people's sense of security. i'm gratified to see the alliance standing 28 for 28 in the mission. in ukraine, i reinforce president obama's call at the g20 summit. for russia to implement the minsk commitments including the heavy efforts. and under the monitoring of the o.s.c.e., removal of foreign fighters, release of hostages. and restoration of ukranian control over its side of the international border. >> it is clear president obama made it clear to vladimir putin in the personnel meeting in paris two days ago, that relief sanctions as we have said, it is
5:06 am
there to live up to the promise made. the need for investment and long-term backing for security. and discuss the steps that afghan has taken to the possibility itself. notwithstanding, a several day propaganda initiative in conduce, they fought back valiantly. they are kong to expand their cap -- continuing to expand their capacity on a national basis. we talk about the across the board partnership with the
5:07 am
government in kabul and the citizens of that country. on the urgent task of depearing. allies must fulfil commitments of the summit in whales. notably through the -- in wales. notably through the action plan and the pledge to restore and work to restore the budgets of the n.a.t.o. countries to the standard of 2% of g.d.p. this saw progress towards the goal. >> last, the united states affirmed our strong support, cyber threads.
5:08 am
as you can tell, there was obviously a lot on the agenda over the last couple of days, and there is still - there are more challenges need also to demand our attention and action. i leave n.a.t.o. confident that as allies, we will meet these challenges together. a strong sense of purpose. and everybody seized by the importance of making it clear to the citizens of each of our countries, that we know what we have to do, and we are going to do it. and that is a commit. that i felt was restated by every single minister there, and in every single meeting. there was a clarity of purpose. and a determination that we are going to the efforts by the
5:09 am
neolithic semicriminal, completely really activities that are challenging civil life itself. >> finally, let me add that i came from brussels to paris, where we kicked off a remarkable gathering of global leaders. i don't think i can ever remember a time when more than 150 leaders of nations came together in one state. for the purpose of furthering an issue of concern to all of them. the cop21 climate negotiations are critical. it represents a security challenge, and environmental challenges, and energy challenges, and health challenges. as well as moral obligations. these talks, i thought, got off
5:10 am
to an encouraging start. they'd be difficult. and over the past couple of days, the united states has announced a package of initiatives to compliment an agreement and continue demanding our commitment to working with our international partners, including the most vulnerable among us in order to address the global threat of climate change. we announced a contribution of 5 1 million, part of a 250 donation from combined 11 countries. we announced 30 million in contributions to the regional risk insurance funds. we joined 19 countries in committing to double our own clean energy, our budget in the next five years, taking us up to 10 billion numbers of r&d. that's a significant effort and
5:11 am
alongside the 25 investors lead by bill gates who pledged billions in private capital for clean energy innovations. nothing stands to provide as much opportunity, as much possibility for addressing climate change rapidly and successfully than to have breakthroughs on the energy frontier, and i believe that private sector and our innovators have a successful obligation, and they have accepted it, to make the difference. there's an initiative led by india, and prime minister narendra modi joined into, in which we joined 100 other counties in a new international solar alliance to expand the use and development of solar energy in every corner of the globe. in the united states, in the
5:12 am
last years, we increased our use of solar energy by 20 times and we are continued to move do you down to that transition. when i went to china and engaged in negotiation, and a year ago president obama stood up with president xi jinping and announced together we'd encourage country to announce their intended contributions, i don't think any of us would see the commitments before the negotiations began. that is where we are, more than
5:13 am
180 admissions representing more than 90% of global emissions. the message is clear. the world is ready to act on change. individual parties are ready to do so. the world is have had and demands we acknowledgement the stage is set. our teams are on the ground. toucheded with them in order to push through the end of it to meet the moment and put all of us on the path towards a safer and sustainable future. i thank you, i'm delighted to take a few questions.
5:14 am
that was u.s. secretary of state john kerry there, summarising the issues discussed at the n.a.t.o. summit in brussels, along with some of the issues discussed at the meeting of world leaders at the beginning of the paris cop 21 climate change summit. outside of the n.a.t.o. headquarters is nadim baba. within the past few minutes, the kremlin said that n.a.t.o.'s continued expansion to the east will lead to retaliatory measures. what are we to make of what mr kerry had to say? >> he said there was great clarity in unity of purpose between the foreign ministers. one big developed is that there'll probably be a 29th member of n.a.t.o.
5:15 am
montenegro has been invited to start success talks. that is n.a.t.o.'s situation of keeping them on the western borders and the western balkans, montenegro is hope about being invited to join. i've been talking to their defence minister, who is not worried by a statement out of moscow. there has been statements in the past. and believes that in the future russia and montenegro will accept that it's in both coun y country's interests. the joint senate suggesting joint projects could be halted. monten egg grow will not be -- montenegro will not be winning immediately. another theme was commitment to supporting turkey. john kerry saying that some
5:16 am
n.a.t.o. allies are talking about boosting practical help. we haven't heard concrete measures. certainly, it's become more defiant in the last 24 hours. at the beginning of the meeting when there was a lot of calls for the de-escalation between turkey and russia. >> thank you. live in were yous else. john kerry's comments will be carefully considered by british members of parliament as they prepare to debate a 10 hour debate on whether britain will expand the air campaign. let's take you to london. >> prime minister david cameron labelled the opponents terrorist sympathizers, a sign of how divisive the debate about
5:17 am
whether to extend the air campaign has become. >> it's a departure from the measured hang wage. those comments are unconfirmed. made in a private meeting with conservative members. if he planned on voting against the proposal, he would be put together with others. it will be proof that david cameron's case is unsound. the opposition has urged david cameron not to rush to war. he wanted a 2-day debate, and is getting a 10.5 hour marr sthon debate squeezed in for one day. it was another blow. >> it said it didn't believe
5:18 am
that it had adequately addressed their concerns. if air strikes begin, when they end and what comes after that. we expect passionate and heated speeches as both party leaders persuade the m.p.s to vote in two different directions, let's look at the debate. [ chanting ] >> reporter: an emergency demonstration calling for m.p.s to vote no to joining air strikes against i.s.i.l. this syria, though passionate. they are unlikely to sway the decision. prime minister david cameron said he wouldn't call a vote unless victory was assured. the case of bombing is one of security and solidarity. >> we'll act with our allies, we'll be responsible as we do so. in my few it's right to do so. a political strategy. a humanitarian strategy.
5:19 am
>> the debate is dividing the nation who leader made action his life's work. that military action is going to kill civilians, create martyrs as a result of it. that military action - where does it lead to? >> since august last year coalition forces dropped thousands of bombs on syria. i.s.i.l. is in place. the government argues the u.k. is bombing targets in iraq, and could make a difference in syria. it can deliver caght missiles that others don't have. if the aim is to remove i.s.i.l., air strikes alone will not achieve that. only ground troops can. there are 70,000 free syrian army that can retake territory. the numbers are disputed. britain has been here before.
5:20 am
in 2003 when m.p.s approved military action in iraq. this time protesters are demanding to be heard. >> don't make the mistake that you have made before. taking us into another bombing campaign. which man make the situation worse. it may make it more dangerous. people fear that there was a strategy on the table. no end game, and like many m.p.s, they believe the energy will be better channelled to finding a political solution. two years ago. david cameron urged m.p.s so organise an attack. that vote was defeated. the target changed and bombing targeted within days. let's look at how they are expected to vote.
5:21 am
330 m.p.s, most back the leader. 15 won't. they are concerned about the figure. 70,000 fighters that have been hotly disputed. as for labour, the leader allowed m.p.s to work freely. depending on how much vote in favour. anywhere between 30 and half the party. they are confident by the fact that the u.n. security council resolution will be called. some want a more specific resolution from the u.n. security council. calling for military action. they are not going to get that. the lib dems have eight m.p.s, they are going to support the motion. the scottish national party has 54 m.p.s, and they are expected to be against it. they don't believe the case is sound. all in all. that still makes and gives david cameron a majority.
5:22 am
they can see air strikes against i.s.i.l. targets within the hour we'll cover the debate within the coming hours. 59 countries agreed to join the coalition. not all are involved. the u.s. sent around 4,400 troops. it's deployed five warships and an aircraft carrier, it's not specified how many aircraft it has got. it includes fighter jets. air tankers. transport and zone. it has 200 troops. 40 aircraft. they have 630 military personal in the region. and the u.k. has 54 fighters available to it. some carrying out air strikes in
5:23 am
iraq. germany is expected to accrue 1200 in a year. germans will carry out reconnaissance flight. joining us, colonel kemp serving with the british army. >> is the proposed u.k. military action symbolic. how much of a difference are the small number of aircraft that britain would deploy to coalition operations in syria going to make? >> well, they can make a big difference to what is a modest bombing campaign. they have good capabilities for surveillance and intelligence, and also for precision strikes in most cases, they can't make a difference. today in the 21st century, a few airplanes that have dozens that are needed. it's an important contribution.
5:24 am
impossibly that any air campaign will be decisive with the united states, without a ground operation on a large scale. is this british vote in public to prepare the way for a ground operation will be required in the solution. i don't know what was thought. prior to expanding into something similar. i don't think there's the political will or the will among the people in this country to go in on the ground. put british forces in on the ground. even if it can be achieved from the air. that's in question, as your correspondent said now. i do tng a ground offensive needs regional forces. the country in the region, can be taking on a far better burden than anyone in europe.
5:25 am
if a problem on that scale existed in europe. they would deal with it. many countries in the middle east have substantial armies, and a huge amount of money and reforces to take into it. it seems the argument for bombing i.s.i.l. is that something must be done to rid the world of this cancer. is there any evidence that bombing is the effective way, the correct way to do it. >> no, bombing is not the way to do it. it's not the way to win the conflict. to defeat the united states. it is a necessary step. what it does is restrict what the islamic state can do. it doesn't help the organization. it degrades an organization when
5:26 am
people are killed like that. it can destroy infrastructure, assets that they have with fuel tankers and other assets used to collect it, to increase funding and supplies. i'm going to say that bombing i.s.i.l., the stronghold in rehabilitation yes. as leader of the opposition in the u.k. said, it's inevitable that any bombing campaign will kill and maim civilians, how will that be avoided. >> it can't be avoided. it will be minimised. organizations, the islamic state, with the taliban and al qaeda. the way they fight these days is to hide among the population, put civilians between them and the people that attack them. one to discourage us from carrying out offenses against them. and leave them with impunity.
5:27 am
5:29 am
good to have you with us, british m.p.s will vote on whether to extend the bombing of i.s.i.l. in iraq and syria. they'll vote after a 10-hour debate, due to begin in honour's time. david cameron's opponents called them terrorist sympathizers. >> u.s. secretary of state john kerry is giving a conference at n.a.t.o. headquarters in brussels, summarising the main issues. he spoke about the need for all n.a.t.o. members to unanimously face the threat facing the organization and welcomed the newest member, montenegro. >> pakistan hanged four men for their involvement in the taliban attack. more than 150 people were killed. most of the them children. from islamabad.
5:30 am
scott heidler -- kamal hyder has more. >> pakistan has carried out four more executions after a black warranted and the president of pakistan turned down the clemency. they were accused of involvement in helping logistically, as well as support to those carrying out attacks on the school in december 2014. pakistan will be commemorating the anniversary of the deadly attack in which 150 people were killed, mostly children. now, the military has, of course, been given the cover by the supreme court, saying that the military can mungs function because pakistan is in a state of war. >> aung san suy kyi met the
5:31 am
former elected leaders and discussed the change of power. she is barred by the constitution becoming the head of state, but said she'll take on a position above the president. the director of the institute of security and international studies at the university in bangkok told my colleagues that aung san suy kyi has the upper hand at the talks. >> everything is on the table. the power-sharing agreement is trying in the constitution. they have the upper hand because of the resolute mandate it depends on how she wants to play it. the military has the space, 25%, and it has a role in the political process. the key issues is how much - how inclusive. and how much of the previous incumbent resolution they have
5:32 am
to retain. they might see a rocky transition. this is a long transition. we have to think what kind of role the military will play. whether we can lead from behind. whether she is willing to lead from goodnight will determine the shape of things to come. everything is on the table. amending the outline bars her from becoming president. could that be negotiable in the days ahead even though the army has enough seats to block the change. >> we see how the bargaining will take place. they retain some of the key ministers, it shows goodwills, reconciliations, but if she goes for a wholesale change, big change, we may have a problem down the road.
5:33 am
at the same time she wants to be president. she's barred from being president. if she's willing to proceed and sit behind, at the same time lead the country from behind, calling the shots from behind. if she's will to do that. that's a sacrifice to move mean mar forward. >> clearly she needs the military's hep in governing. what about when it comes to the other matters, the rohingyas, and the ethnic cleansing - how much ability or appetite will aung san suy kyi have to deal with problems like that? >> the ethnic majority parties did not farewell the elections. they were everything, except for the party. the rohingya is in the international spotlight. there are many issues now that they'll have to grapple with, including relations with the minority groups, ongoing civil
5:34 am
rooms. some of them. not all signed the ceasefire agreement. and the myanmar's relations with the outside world, with the major powers with china. we will have to see that this is something momentous. with the many questions, we have never been here before. we have built up to this. it's more than 50 years since myanmar has had civilian rule. >> we know too much sugar is bad for us, a study said that packaged foods are contributing to a global health crisis. three-quarters of food and drinks have added sweeteners. sugar consumption is highest in poorer nations. authors called for a sugar tax to help discourage children and teenagers from drinking swede before ridges. in a moment we will here from
5:35 am
rob reynolds, but first scott heidler in bangkok. >> reporter: thailand is the second exporter of sugar, it's a big consumer. it's been a mainstay. it's served as a condiment. the intake of sugar increased more. the average thai consumed 104 grams of sugar each day, four times the amount romeded by the world health organisation. it has the second highest obesity rate and sees a spike in cases of diabetes. the gof will go after top offender number one, saying they'll limit advertisements and promotions of sugary drinks. >> here in the united states, the good news is the number of new cases of diabetes has begun to fall after decades of rising rapidly. the u.s. food and drug demonstration called for a cap
5:36 am
on the total amount of sugar consumed on a daily basis. the bad news is that diseases like obesity and diabetes linked to sugar consumption are prevalent among americans, latinos, native americans, and that is the case worldwide. poorer people tend to suffer more from excessive sugar in the diet. >> let's hear from carina hawks. the co-authority of the report, and interring at expert group. good to have you with us. a lot of us are aware of the damage that it can do potentially to our health, and cut back on sugar. but many people watching will be alarmed to learn of the amount of sugar that is hidden in savoury products, even things like baked beans, tomato soup
5:37 am
and curries. >> that's right, and the analysis that we present in the paper shows and an analysis of the food supply, that around three-quarters of that supply contains shuing areas. and that is it something we believe that people need to be aware of. >> you called for a tax to discourage young people drinking, buying more of the sweet drinks. surely the onus should not be on the consumers, but the manufacturers. >> yes, we believe a package policy intervention and actions are needed to help consumers understand, be aware of and support them to reduce the sugar consumption. meaning that the manufacturers need to be reducing the amount of sugar in the drinks, sugar and food, and stop marketing them and make them available. this is leading to the excess consumption. >> there's a variety of
5:38 am
sweeteners on the market. some of them coloric, as you call them, they behave like sugar. they are full of calories dom don't have any -- some of them don't have any, but the body processes them all more or less the same way. >> there's a difference between caloric sweeteners, and low-calory sweeteners. one of the things we show in our paper is there's a lack of scientific consensus about whether the push towards calorie or low-calory sweetest is positive to health or whether these are linked to diabetes and other outcomes. what we need is a shift towards food that are minimally pleased in the diet, which consumers know what's in them. >> what would your advice be to anyone watching, who may be
5:39 am
concerned at the level of sugar that they are eating. particularly that the - the hidden sugars? >> well, first of all, stop drinking sugar sweetened dringts. the evidence on that is clear. second, if there is a label on the packaged food - read it, find out how much sugar is in it. shoeing is often not included in labels. if it isn't. lobby, ask your politicians, work with civil society to demand the governments require mandatory labelling of sugar, that they restrict the marketing of sugary food to children that the sugary swedened beverage are taxed and are not available in stores. the first thing is government officials. the first thing they need to do is make sure the public is aware. public awareness campaign is a first step to make sure consumers are aware of the
5:40 am
problem. >> is any level of sugar in the diet safe. should we look to wean ourselves off. i think what we need to work towards reducing sugar intake, let's not go overseas and say no one should consume sugar. sugar should not consume anything to the diet. it doesn't mean sugar here or there could do harm. the main thing that consumers need to thing of is how can i reduce gradually the sugar in my diet. >> good to talk to you. carina hawks in london. >> thank you. >> there has been more protests for action on global warming as they enter paris. demonstrators in australia were removed from perimeter. they held a sit in to surge a government to tackle climate
5:41 am

5:42 am
stricter regulations are shortsighted. >> people trying to bring us down are naive. our president said which can stand it for five years, the way it's going. after that, who knows. >> if 2012 goal combustian made it for a startier. reason enough to enforce rules. we need to bring more in. the wore on goal is troubling. it would be bad all the way around, whether it's car dealerships and trounts. wyoming has until 2030 to reach targets. in this state cole is an economic power house that many fight to protect. >> people here don't want to
5:43 am
embrace cleaner technology. by some sfiments, 11 -- by some stages, it could put the state in jeopardy. those invest in alternative uses for carbon, and it can be resilient. >> we are going to be one of the parts of the country that will rebound by the regular prinlss. >> some studies claim coal could drop by half in the coming years. fate that will change if the republican becomes the next president. the united states is marking the 60th anniversary of a civil

5:46 am
took to the streets. leading the march a kenyan running a team protecting elephants and kenyans. >> it gets me to the core. we are emotional about it. >> reporter: trade in registered ivory is allowed inside hong kong, as long as it was imported before the ban was put in place in 1989. trade would continue until stocks run out. more than 25 years later stores are trading. and ivory has been snuggled in to restock the market. >> the footage shows a licensed dealer openly discussing how to smuggle product into china where it's been panned. with china and vietnam with ban, conservationists are finding a
