card in yemen last year with one point one million cases the humanitarian situation is indeed shocking both in scale and severity and these figures they represent a call for urgent action the saudi coalition which backs the government of president abdulla robbo monsour hadi and iran which gives the who these military support are not invited to griffiths talks but they'll probably go to geneva to keep an eye on things and then there's the u.s. under fire for giving military support to the saudi coalition and a critic of tehran support for the who these the us ambassador used her security council remarks not only to chastise iran for destabilizing yemen but also to send a message to riyadh about its air war against the who these we've hit a new day now in yemen and we've had a new sense of urgency and u.n. and that if this is what started to happen civilians are at risk infrastructure is

at risk but in the last three years at least ten thousand people have been killed in yemen another forty thousand injured the risk for civilians already a reality. jordan al-jazeera the united nations there are plenty more ahead on the news hour including a former president facing the prospect of jail as a corruption scandal in argentina. fearing more protests worked against on a controversial gas pipeline between israel and jordan and sports still going strong delivers a final round and are high and all the details coming up so. more than one hundred thirty thousand people have been ordered to shelters around shanghai. china has raised its typhoon alert level at least a hundred and fifty flights have been canceled and outdoor activity suspended in

local police chief is confident they can handle it. there's no alarm here people are smart the old folk have passed down that no one from generation to generation like a secret recipe. this is one of those recipes. traditional gas but show tomato olive oil vinegar and garlic. this is essential it has a lot of vitamins and when it's served fresh it revives your body the pharmacy thermometer marks a high of forty one degrees well shy of last year's spanish record of forty seven point three celsius. down the street the rodriguez sisters sell air conditioning the higher the heat the bigger the fan and you i mean there were only eleven equal in the past there was even a secret language with the fans depending on how woman lived her fan she would send

that this will be bad for both consumers and planet rob reynolds has more from. the proposals would freeze fuel efficiency at the level mandated for twenty twenty discarding higher standards that would have gone into effect in two thousand and twenty fine the standards were negotiated between the obama administration and the auto industry environmentalist say the move would cost consumers money harm public health and increase climate changing emissions rolling back or freezing feeling hot to me and and weakening pollution standards for cars will drive up oil consumption it will drive up climate pollution. the real winner in that scenario is the oil industry because they'll be selling more product to consumers taking money out of their pockets and out of their communities and into the pockets of big oil as part of its reasoning the trumpet ministration said better fuel mileage would make

driving cheaper so people would drive more resulting in more accidents logic that puzzled many transportation experts the white house spokesperson brushed aside reporters' questions about the emissions rule changes were simply open enough for a comment period and will make a final decision at the end of that for those rules would directly target california which for decades has had the power to impose efficiency standards over and above the federal standard the new rules if approved would strip the state of that privilege many other states follow the california standard california governor jerry brown called the effort to weaken the emission standards quote a reckless scheme a betrayal and an assault on the health of americans everywhere california officials are promising an all out legal battle with the trouble administration over fuel efficiency standards a fight that could go all the way to the u.s.

supreme court robert oulds al jazeera los angeles well let's get more on all of this now we're joined by appealing mumble he's the president of the copenhagen consensus a think tank focusing on smart economic profit highs ation he is also the author of cool it and the skeptical environmentalist and he's joining us on skype from the swedish. very good to have you with us on algis there are so i do want to talk more about the policies of the current to u.s. administration that we've just covered a little bit more in a moment but first how do you view. the sort of the rising temperatures that were commonly seeing and covering all over the world. well look it's very likely that the heat waves we're seeing are also being pushed by all the warming that's just basic sense as temperatures rise you're going to see more heat waves so clearly this is one of the consequences of global warming and eventually this will be

a net negative but of course we also have to remember and this is one of the things that are problematic in the whole conversation that you can't just look at one part of this remember almost everywhere in the world more people die from cold than die from heat in the u.k. for instance about two thousand people die from heat but about fifty thousand people die from coal and so you have to remember yes heat waves are getting worse and that is a problem with global warming coal waste which kills a lot more people actually getting less worse we need to remember both but with the focus right now on climate change are you saying that there needs to be less of a saga called wave on the later then two manmade climate change. no i'm simply trying to point out that you can't just talk the talk about one negative effect and forgetting the positive effect i'm not saying that we shouldn't do something about global warming remember we should but we should not have this conversation only driven every time we see heat waves oh my god we need to do

something about heat waves but every time we see coal waste which actually has a lot more and is a lot more harmful we often forget to say well we should be happy that global warming make that less likely to kill a lot of especially all people. so how do we do that i mean how do we change the conversation to keep climate change on the agenda but also as you say take the positives into the conversation. but i think there's two two ways we need to do that one is to recognize and we also saw that from spain a lot of how you're going to deal with global warming effectively cheaply and very rapidly is going to be through adaptation so the very obvious way that we've seen for instance the american deep south was basically conquer it since one nine hundred forty because you got air condition that means suddenly everyone can be

much more productive everyone can lead much better lives so it's very much about just like we have in most cities around the world we have heating when it's too cold when it's too cold we should have air conditioning when it's too hot on the other hand we also of course need to fix climate change in the long run and that's where you you talked about you know or sorry the trump administration's attempt to derail the efficiency standards on cars absolutely we need to cut emissions but we need to do so smartly and unfortunately actually dealing with the efficiency standards is a very ineffective ironically very ineffective way of tackling global warming because it costs a lot and costs about three to seven times more than france and it's just a carbon tax so clearly if you want to fix global warming focus on the simple ways that will actually be more effective will cut more c o two for less amounts of

dollars or whatever your currency is and that's the long bond just lastly and briefly what does. more effective and cost effective ways that. well certainly it is a carbon tax so a small carbon tax actually have reflects the damage that we do and apply everywhere so not just in some areas and in some economies but it's much much more about technological advance what happened for instance with the green start with the shale fracking explosion in the u.s. the u.s. basically made gas a lot cheaper that made everyone switch from coal to gas which is great because it emits about half as much c o two so the u.s. has dropped its emissions a lot not because they were environmentally focused now because they've got a technological breakthrough we need many more of those on wind and solar and fusion and fission and many other technologies to enable the future to be powered much more really and cleanly left alone but thank you for your time and your

analysis on both that's joining us live from malmo sweden thank you well in a few moments we'll have more of the weather with that still ahead on the news hour . trying to crush protests american idol and you know what's pushed through by the president and told to find out how this french band was fined following has a temper tantrum in washington. from flowing on in the winds to an enchanting desert breeze. well we're watching out for a new record maybe in temperature in the southwest of europe these are yes those temperatures in spain and portugal run about forty three markowitz exactly that's still three away from the record and this is

a halt part of the world now you may have seen if you watching early at the locals well sort of this happens every year you get forty's quite easily visitors take a bit more care but of course if you're close to water that storm but so are we actually get our reach the record we started off this morning four degrees warmer the same time the day before it theory that means we should break it but actual fact i think we'll get to maybe forty four today because we haven't kept up that momentum so we'll get close one two places might get actually break the record i personally i'm not so sure that this is the hottest part of europe elsewhere it's been warm as a heat wave certainly but not to the degree it is down there but a few showers of developed to be wondering around for ages some dramatic this is sardinia this of course is not snow but this is hail to some considerable debts but ten centimeters and it's widespread as well now about sodomy and most of the showers most of them all rain this for example was ankara yesterday but the flooding rain chances i will see more of the same dust

a host but of the biggest hospital in the day and one in which hundreds of thousands of people depend on is only one of just one hundred four medical facilities not open at the u.n. humanitarian coordinator lisa gunda held a press conference moments ago in which she described the shocking saying the loss of lives could not be justified and also formed there needs to be a ceasefire because if it doesn't happen the humanitarian situation is going to get even worse than it is and humanitarian organizations warning that the cholera outbreak could worsen the. yes indeed the dial warning from the world health organization as well as the un office for the notion of humanitarian activities that. specifically one such list the three day cease fire to bugs in the population in what they call it now the

yemeni infrastructure for water and sanitation has largely been destroyed by the else like something that's already caused an outbreak of lost in the world that's affected more than a million people now u.n. agencies us say that the contract could be on the brink of another massive outbreak of the disease lives go on that the u.n. humanitarian coordinator in that press conference said that they were seeing more and more people being brought to hospitals' with every day that they need to stop the. conflict the conflict because for the there is an important port way i have been to posses hunt all day going into yemen to help more than twenty two million people who have nothing to survive on and they say any of this eruption to these provision of aid is going to be a major catastrophe for the yemenis so what are the prospects then muhammad all

stopping this conflict all for ending the suffering to so many millions of people when those proposed talks coming out thing geneva and september that the who things and the yemeni government have said that they will participate in. well that's the only the whole point right now on the whole rise and fall a halt to the conflict the u.n. special envoy to yemen has been shuttling between the fight is on the so you are you calling for more than a month so far he has not been successful but now he's saying he's a deal could be on the horizon with the talks that are going to be held on this six in didn't have a sixth of september however those talks are just talks about talks leaving the room one for talks and diplomats are saying that the ease the possibility that the

talks could happen of the war is going on because so far they have been unable to get a cease fire deal between the parties mamma thank you very much for that for now that's mohamad though with and they say this from djibouti yemen thank you. what has the sparks man mohammed advocate how does any of that the fighting will escalate if the sound the erotic coalition continues attacking her day that. we have targeted the ships of these countries in regional waters but we didn't attack the oil tankers or commercial ships this is our right but we did not use it when we decided to retaliate we will do so because they were the first to target the ports and commercial ships and fishermen on the western coast this is collective punishment to the people in this area they are suffering a lot because they can't fish in the red sea of course we would like a peaceful solution not a military one that means we're here for the dialogue we are now evaluating the initiative with the better nor the conditions then we will have our own official

position but we support dialogue we've told especially on war from the beginning that it must be from inside amongst the political yemeni components in order to reach an agreement for a new president and his accepted by everyone a national unity government accepted by everyone and there must be outside dialogue to put an end to the war and pave the way for a yemeni dialogue because any dialogue that is not one hundred percent yemeni will never be successful and if we don't reach a solution the situation will escalate. to libya now we're fighting in the city of benghazi has displaced hundreds of families who rely on the government support and now with a financial crisis head on the country that supporters starting to fade back without that i had reports from the start or. it's time for people who fled the water but was he three years ago to leave this compound in misrata this man like

many others here is worried if he shows his face supporters of the warlord have to might go after his relatives in. the compound owners have recently demanded the government return the property because it hasn't been paying its bills jan mahmoudi says her house in it was destroyed by the war she and her husband have been living here with the help of a charity's notion we were asleep in the street if they don't find a solution for us what can we do we've got only ten days ultimatum to leave. since have to launch at his military campaign back in two thousand and fourteen more than one hundred thousand people have fled their homes after his forces took full control of the city in december last year but many here are still afraid to go back more than two hundred displaced families have lived here on this beach compellent for the past three years most of them lost their homes during the war in

benghazi but now with the government's decision to evacuate this area many of them say they have to start from scratch others don't know what to do next many families have already left the compound during the last couple of months. those remaining say they also struggle with a complicated civil registry procedure that all women if we have been massively as we are now requested to leave the compound we don't have salaries we can't go to benghazi to kasher salaries and we can't get them here. if we leave this compound we can't even afford to buy furniture. according to the u n estimates more than two hundred thousand people are internally displaced in libya most of them live in misrata and the capital tripoli over the last few years those from been ozzy have been voicing their demands but they say no one is listening and so far efforts by

the united nations support to mission in libya have failed to end their suffering it appears for now a political solution might be the only way to take them back whole. order up to a head and jazeera misrata. jordan's grandma. going in from israel but the move is a controversial one that will cost billions and many are happy about the deal so you know how the reports from amman. public opposition in jordan fail to stop this project work has begun on a sixty five kilometer pipeline which is supposed to start bringing gas from israel in early two thousand and twenty the jordanian government says the deal will save hundreds of millions of dollars a year critics disagree it's a waste of taxpayers' money to. ten billion dollars of taxpayers' money it can be invested in. a wide variety of.
