11:06 pm
conference of course the german foreign minister mass has pledged one hundred million euros that's a round of current rates one hundred sixteen million u.s. dollars to the. area we're not sure whether that's new cash or just reiteration of cash that's already been pledged but certainly it's a shot in the arm and gives a focus to the needs that are in this area from a humanitarian perspective but don't forget it's a small drop in the ocean considering what the u.n. estimates is the actual need one point five six billion dollars is what the u.n. estimates is needed from a humanitarian perspective so yeah there's still a lot of work to be done it as though you know what are they hoping to realistically achieve these two days. one of the priorities was not just to raise money for aid to help people in the very short term but to try and put the legs and basin area on a more secure forcing to introduce stability to introduce resilience to be able to
11:07 pm
help the four countries whose. territory includes part of the lake chad basin to rush to be able to stand on their own two feet and to discuss that with me i'm joined by ruby sunday rose on our get your title correct is the deputy special representative of the second general for so ho and the west africa region of the united nations. first of all let's talk about gender because gender has been an important factor in the sessions that i've heard so far today women are very often the victims of the violence that takes place in the area but you are under many delegates here saying they should also be very much part of the solution to these problems as well yes very much so you know women are at the heart of the crisis but at the same time because of that they are central to any sustainable solution when you look at it in terms of women's reproductive rights you know women rights have been abused they've been exploited at the same time women also need to have
11:08 pm
a place at the table you know there's been a recent visit by the deputy secretary general as well as the a you and the minister of sweden to to the lake chad basin countries recently and in their mission they really called upon calling attention to the crust to women but at the same time what the women in that region also said is that they said look we want to be included we want to have representation we want to have participation what this means is that you have to also started dressing the structural barriers that actually inhibiting women from participating from their economic empowerment you know you have to be able to provide them access to to education provide them access to resources change some of the legal obstacles that they might face in terms of land ownership in terms of inheritance and also try to address issues of forced to marry. early marriage so you really need to address also they're not just look at them as victims but actually as agents and people who are better understand the impact that they're feeling and how they can interact on that and we were
11:09 pm
talking before we came live on air about the importance of sustainable solutions in this it's short term humanitarian aid is not going to cut it in this region is it no not at all and which is why you know this is a follow up to the conference which is why it's very good because this is where a lot of the discussion you might have heard from the panelist is very much we have to look at the nexus on the humanitarian the security the development you know the peace security and development nexus this is something that you know former secretary general kofi annan had said no peace without any development sought the fact that this conference is actually trying to bring together that and you see the u.n. agencies that are here as well as the other agents and organizations are very much not just humanitarian but also from the development area as well you've also got the environmental areas which shows that we're addressing this in a much more comprehensive and holistic manner and we thank you very much indeed for joining us now there's a lot of talk here and a lot of it is very good to talk challenge of course is going to be translated
11:10 pm
action and impact on the ground and they've got to do is to try and make. it will be following it closely paul many thanks for the latest there from. iraq has held its first parliamentary session since the disputed election and may eleven groups have agreed to create an alliance that includes those loyal to shiite cleric. bloc won the most votes are inside our bodies group is also part of that coalition between them they have one hundred seventy seven members of parliament that gives them an outright majority the main opposition looks to be how the our mary's alliance which includes many pro romney and former paramilitary fighters they secured forty eight seats in the election but they can count on seventy two votes because of an alliance with former prime minister nouri al maliki these two blocs who could. more than two thirds of the three hundred twenty nine seats in every parliament. he is the director of a think tank called the house of iraqi expertise foundation is also
11:11 pm
a former advisor to the speaker of occupier meant for the upon it will provide much needed change to iraq it's a new era in the in the political process in iraq we are now seeing not a one united shout bloc we are seeing two blocs that they are asking the sunni and the kurds to join them which show you that we are stuck and we are actually going forward in this step forward in the political process now how the our leaders how and how the iraqi leaders can manage this new situation this is the most important thing not a cook's like it's not a one shot it's not only this session it's not only the coming days maybe want to see so many changes in a few months the most important thing is that everyone seeing if the iraqi the iraqi government didn't have some sort of a soft government or let's say some sort of a solved structure like the prime minister needs to do to speak english to have a ph d. and also to have some sort of
11:12 pm
a support from the international communities and also the other ministries other important ministries like minister of planning minister of oil minister of finance and minister of foreign ministry which means that this solved government if it will be made maybe and i'm saying maybe it is going to save iraq. fighting continues in the southern suburbs of the libyan capital tripoli for an eighth straight day at least forty seven people mostly civilians have been killed in shelling and gunfire rival armed groups are battling for control of the city which is run by libya's internationally recognized government four hundred prisoners took advantage of the deteriorating security situation and escaped from jail during a riot. reports from tripoli. has so long he's in mourning. a stray rocket killed two of his nephews when they were playing in this god in they were fifteen and fourteen years old he said as. the

11:21 pm
after a week of nafta talks we'll look at the impact donald trump's trade policy is having globally plus why celebrity social media influencers every new set of online followers advertising regulates. cantina costs and i just. might walk. with you in the world was born for me to eat you see. i'm malcolm webb income the capital of uganda which is one of the countries where thousands of chimpanzees can still be found after the highland forested slopes because other countries they've already completely disappeared and wherever they live there on the tremendous pressure chimps like human living for the victims the feelings they use tools these are qualities that were discovered only in the one nine hundred sixty s. by a young british woman she lived with chimps for many years and grew closer to them
11:22 pm
than anyone before jane goodall widely seen as the world's leading climatologist and conservationist talks to al-jazeera. you one of the world's most recognized. him pansies what's so special about chimpanzees our closest living relatives on planet earth we share ninety eight plus. d.n.a. with chimpanzees a great deal of our communication non-verbal is the same thing in bracing holding hands patting on the back swaggering shaking their fist begging for food if you want your group of chimps to know exactly what they're about because we do the same they were the first wild animals in the scientific community to demonstrate tool using and tool making and it was that observation chimpanzees. picking grass stems
11:23 pm
to fish for termites but also picking leafy twigs and having to modify them beginning of tool making by stripping the leaves in the side branches and it was that that brought in the national geographic society to fund my research when the first six months money ran out so you know since then we've followed the life history of chimpanzees in the wild and in captivity because we work on captive chimps as well learned about the different cultures in different countries to them like in west africa the rocks used as hammers to open the same nuts are gone but they don't use that so it's a cultural tradition passed from mother to child we've learned a great deal about the importance of the mother mothers have different personalities some are much better mothers than others and the good supportive mothers are the ones whose offspring do well the males get higher in the male
11:24 pm
hierarchy the females are better mothers so that the thing that's for me exciting about that is the reason i've done what i've done is i had a supportive mother what were the most interesting things that you discovered the greatest disappointment as well as the greatest similarities for as i've said in my non-verbal communication but in addition they actually have a kind of primitive war and they are territorial and the males patrol the boundaries of the territory and if they spy an individual from a neighboring community they will follow give chase keep very quiet for maybe over an hour looking they're looking for individuals and then they will kill them they will actually kill them so you know they have war on the one hand but also altruism and love and compassion so in both these ways the aggressive and the loving they're so close to us. and when you first made some of these discoveries you came under
11:25 pm
quite a lot of criticism for the implications that it made about done chimpanzees but also about humans in the press including criticism you as a woman were making discoveries about mankind possibly controversial enough in your kind of things did they say and what did you think about that time what i was criticised for was first of all when i saw tool using and the scientists said well she's just so well i'm just i haven't been to university we couldn't afford it. and so they wanted to disregard everything but then when the geographic center you got and loic and he filmed it they could no longer deny what i had seen in fact even before that my sister came out i said i don't want anybody coming but she sounds like me and she looks a bit like me so she came with a camera and she actually filmed termite fishing so. then they had to believe it
11:26 pm
but the next thing was the aggressive behavior because at that time in the early seventy's it was a it was a political issue and science was divided i guess more than science but certainly science as to whether human infants are born with like a clean slate everything is learned from your culture from the society from your mother. and then on the other hand there were those who said well there's a lot of learning involved and. chimpanzees and human beings learn by watching each other and learning about their cultures so it was a very political issue believe it or not. and we had one of the first russians primatologist taking part in an international conference and when it came to aggression before he said a word he had to go off and telephone his boss in moscow so eventually i went to cambridge university after i'd been with the chimps for two years. so i
11:27 pm
had a supervisor who was wonderful for me but he was also one of the top people are just . when we had this conference he was there too and he was on the side of everything is law and that's what he talked about and i was saying you know. some things are inhabited it's instinctive that we have these aggressive selves i know as a mother because when your child is threatened you get the surge of adrenaline and sometimes anger it's not rational but it's there so when i sat down with him to have a cup of coffee i said what do you really believe about with that aggression is it mate do you know what he said to me he said jane i'd rather not talk about what i really believe that gave me such a bad attitude toward science i thought how can you be like this. so these things
11:28 pm
aren't has progressed since then in his understanding of these things mainly the people who who. don't believe in all this inherited stuff and don't believe that animals have personalities and emotions and so forth they're mostly the people who are either in primate research labs where animals are tortured still or intensive farming and we know how cows and pigs are treated chickens and turkeys but it's mostly those people who don't want to admit that animals have personalities minds and above all emotions and one interesting observation which i never forgot when you were thinking about different personalities. the other from hell at that time mike. i think it was humphrey anyway an aggressive male so when an infant began screaming because his mother wouldn't nurse him the
11:29 pm
aggressive male went to attack the infant screaming so of course the infant screamed more and that blew any chance of a stranger however another male on another occasion the same infant old so much more gentle individual and when the infant made a noise he went and embrace him so you see the difference in the two personalities this is what's so fascinating there is different from each other as we are you're going to become right and what's there why are you going when i first came to uganda it was in the mid sixty's and it was in the days of the mean and at that time there was the intent to. and they had i think about eight or nine infant chimps whose mothers had been shot for bushmeat and they didn't have proper cages they didn't know anything about them they wouldn't really wire netting cages they
11:30 pm
had nothing to do they were very disturbed and so i managed to find as to keep it from london zoo who volunteered and her parents gave her a car so she could get around and gradually that built up cages proper cages and introduced you know for chimps and many other animals to boredom is one of the awful things you see and in bad zoos they have nothing to do think of their lives in the wild and then think of being confined in a small space so one of the things that she did was give them paper and paint brushes some of them paint not a picture but they'd make found shapes or circular shapes and began selling them which raised money so that was the beginning of it and from there it led to some of the chimps being relocated on to an island i don't know its name but somewhere near the sioux and. then we wanted to create
11:31 pm
a proper sanctuary for the chimps so the island was created for orphan chips whose mothers were either killed for bush meat or they were poached so that the infants could be sent off and sold as pets or entertainment in foreign countries so they'd get confiscated so it was a mixture of mother ship for different reasons conservation programs in you know africa even though we're half a century after. european colonialism continue to be dominated by white foreigners why is using that is well i'm not sure that it always is true. i'm not sure i think african politicians africans in all walks of life women are coming up and taking their rightful position in society and we got past the time when women in order to succeed decide that they have to have male
11:32 pm
characteristic a book rush and pushing us now women are beginning to fall into place with the characteristics make women i think a little bit different you know nurturing compassion because of the inference that we raise so yes there is some male dominance and money coming in from outside but is changing you can't expect change to happen overnight after our brutal colonialism which actually destroyed some of the best people who might otherwise have taken over more quickly i mean we ruined that culture we were in so much about african society before european colonialism this was one continent maybe the last continents in the world where humans did live in a relatively sustainable way with wildlife. and when european colonialism came they hunted at a rate never done before they destroyed habitats as
11:33 pm
a rate never seen before. and then created nature reserves in almost every country which involved of course displacing people off the land and to this day many of those communities living on the periphery of those parks still in poverty having lost access to natural resources they want to using the preservation of this wildlife a similar. story of great injustice for many communities in this continent huge injustice i mean what white colonialist did i think can never really be forgiven in africa because i've traveled to many different countries and everywhere the history of white colonialism is brutal and. so when finally the europeans thought oh gosh we've killed off nearly all the animals oh yes we can develop tourism how lovely so some of them actually cared about the animals so we
11:34 pm
began to set up these national parks and as you say people were driven out of those areas and lived in the peripheral and many of them in poverty and of course those communities. were growing human population growth so huge problem. so it was in eighty six that there was this big conference in which it became very obvious that chimpanzee numbers were dropping right across africa and that's when i decided to leave research i didn't know what i could do so the first thing i thought i would do is to travel around some of the african countries where there were chimp populations it was seven different countries but also learning about the horrible problems faced by so many of the african people living in and around chimpanzee habitat you know the crippling poverty in some
11:35 pm
cases the lack of good education the lack of good health and ethnic violence which was getting worse because of that and it came to a head when i flew over the gombe national park in a tiny plane and looked down going to be was once part of this equatorial belt that stretched from east africa and curled through west terms and near through burundi uganda and then right to the west african coast through the congo basin and when i flew over in nineteen ninety and looked down it was an island of forest a tiny island of forces the smallest national park in tanzania surrounded by completely bare hills more people living there than the land could support they had been moved from their traditional villages they were supposed to be doing communal farming and that was not european by the way. they were struggling to survive and this is when it hit me if we don't do something to help the people we may as well
11:36 pm
give up conservation i'm very well aware of the problem you speak of when they've been forced out of the forest that's happened in burundi and i think it's happened in rwanda as well but i know about the brandy ones and it is shocking it's really heartbreaking to see them thrown out of the forest of course there's been this genocide with the wind and now we're trying to work with. the lot of people in africa and in many countries in africa. making a lot of money from wildlife trafficking or from destroying habitats for wildlife i mean there are many millions of dollars to be made from this every powerful people behind it. in your work have you run into conflict with these people of your being threats and or or anything like by the people whose interests your challenging
11:37 pm
well i haven't actually been threatened nobody from gombe has been threatened truly believe that's because we've always worked with the people ever since you know those early days it's certainly true we've got your. fossil fuel industry you've got logging you've got as you say the animal trafficking and various other problems caused by us and all you can do is to tackle them one by one but after raising money for our different jane goodall institute programs across across africa i began traveling around the developed world to raise money but also to raise awareness just because of the problem you're talking about that it was our society that were raiding the forests for timber and so for the africans who were just making money out of it. poaching and so forth so that's when i thought you know if unless we have new generations growing up
11:38 pm
to understand better our relationship with the natural world then. soon there will be nothing left and it will suffer so that's when i began our roots and shoots program and it was basically a because i understand the diversity in the rain forest how everything is interconnected from the very beginning we had our roots and shoots groups will work on three different interrelated problems to help people to help other animals because we are animals too and help the environment and we work with many of the governments all heads of state or senior politicians in the countries where he's invented species found i let the people you know each roots and shoots in each country does that sort of thing itself. but. programs do you do you work with all sorts of these laws well. the point is that we try to be
11:39 pm
completely apolitical so in the us for example if we work with or with a democrat will also work with a republican and that sort of thing i'm not sure about now but the old days it worked or wondering if it's possible to be a political going back to the wildlife trafficking smuggling timber concessions. in africa in the countries where many of these endangered species or precious habits are found then it's not possible to run a multi-million dollar rockets on the the radar of the people in power in fact it's not possible to run it without the complicity of the people in power and we've seen many leaks documents all wildlife investigations over the implicating heads of state and very senior politicians in these things so surely it's not possible to separate the politics from the very greatest threats to you know conservation
11:40 pm
that's true but but with katie i you know we don't directly tackle the government in a political way but go and meet with people in the government and talk to them and that's kind of different so but i i'm not pretending that i know the extent to which the jane goodall institute in uganda is working in the government you would have to talk with peta people who runs the program here but by and large it's sharing information it's reaching people's hearts that's the key so you're also patron of population matters because for voluntary reduction in human population to try and create some sustainability for people. everything else. i wanted to ask you about how. this could possibly be achieved and gives the example of china as the only government that's ever actually tried to address
11:41 pm
population reduction but they didn't do it in a voluntary way and it's widely seen by many as a human rights abuse and caused a great deal of one happiness for a very large number of people. is there a way or is there another way to reduce the human population well i mean again to talk about what i know about. what i know about is are to carry program in tanzania around the chip a bit at where we began working all those years ago now there are people coming up and asking for. you know ways in which they can control their population and so we provide all the things that women need. we've had men coming in asking for specific to muse and the point is that now they are more in control of their own lives they're realizing you know we just don't have the
11:42 pm
natural resources to grow our populations so their culture is changing the sort of wanting a lot of children they want to have two or three children so that they can give them a good education. so that they won't be starving it's we've watched it change and so we have family planning initiatives in every one of these villages that i've talked about seventy five and it's worked so we didn't push it on that's their own people they do it we don't do it and this is the secret i think they're also still increasing carbon emissions still increasing your on the united states of america recently pulling out of the paris agreement and opening coal mines right. and scientists even saying that the powers agreement would save us from the point of no return as they call it anyway. things don't look very optimistic there either but what do you think well all i can say is that i know many people in the us
11:43 pm
were taking matters into their own hands and trump was elected. i don't know what the future is in the united states i can't predict that some people say he'll be reelected which will be very harmful but on the other hand like take california if he even wants to succeed secede. they are taking their environmental problems into their own hands and it's working in california it's definitely working and there are other states as well in this time of changing climate destroying. reducing not resources the things that we talked about there anything you've learned from chimpanzees humankind would be well advised to pay attention to right now well one thing i really think is maternal behavior because we're in danger in our modern society with women playing an ever larger
11:44 pm
