7:18 pm
a global climate policy really. what's your assessment of where we're at right now so we came to this hoping for progress because of the. climate issues we had. you know lots of climate disasters and these are just this progress is really needed and we're happy that things are moving on. we see some positive outcomes there are still some we're hoping it will be finished and they will be decided within the next few hours. as i say finance. is a thorn in the side of these discussions is ok so one of the things that developing countries want to be moving in this was what we need to do the action we need to do in the next three years because twenty twenty is the year of the faeries agreement but there's much to be done before this we've got some positive signals on that and that's important for the emission after twenty two and we know what countries put
7:19 pm
on the table that they want to do and it's not gonna help us move on the faster one point five degrees and so we want this ambition to be scaled up so solving the. twenty twenty issues is a good thing and countries got to a solution on that and also on twenty twenty we have the so-called. dialogue it's a process for countries to talk about the right people with fair aiming at a fair outcome three handsome visions postponed it's mandatory and this has led to . the national the term money it's called national determined contributions and to see just as far as this has been concerned we've got a lot of action outside of the conference itself so you can call initiative and you've heard the brigade if you like coming in here the states and the demands of united states coming forward in fighting there in battle we saw a very interesting movement on the cost side as you said there's a coalition of twenty five countries in regions a minute phase and that's huge progress that super important to keep us on track to
7:20 pm
one point five and there's also this is a very interesting movement of non-state actors and the example would be described we are still in the private sectors american n.g.o.s kate they came here and they were in the pavilion that the u.s. traditionally has at the coffee pledge and how they will keep committed to the fares agreement that's my major all right for another great to get your perspective on this and we'll see how the evening goes on let's hope it's not too late thank you very much. for i take a look there with aces to involve thank you. now an inquiry into abuse at youth prisons in australia's northern territory has called for the closure of one of the detention center if i were to describe the shocking and systemic which were ignored by top officials over many years many of the inmates were aboriginal reports.

7:23 pm
implications for how all australian states deal with the link with children this is a report into the abuse of children but in truth given that the vast majority of those at the northern territory in prisons are aboriginal this is also a report into the abuse of indigenous australians that makes its findings particularly sensitive australia has a dark history of abuse toward the so-called first australians under thomas al-jazeera. a large group of ranger refugees is on the move again trying to escape a military crackdown in myanmar hundreds of stock in what is known as no man's land between man and bangladesh this footage filmed in bangladesh shows refugees trying to get to cox's bazaar more than six hundred thousand were had to have crossed the border since august. the red cross is warning that one million yemenis are risk of a renewed cholera outbreak because of saudi arabia's blockade of the country the group says the cities of had. run out of clean water because of
