innovative solutions to health care problem. is we're sure to solve the cure. al-jazeera and live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha. welcome to the news grid it's. on turkish soil but now the turks want in with no clarity of just what's happened to the saudi journalist. turkey has demanded the right to search the. reports that the show was killed inside a live update coming from istanbul. also on the grid climate change and a new reality from the un's top environmental body it seems we've got just twenty
6:01 pm
years to properly deal with rising temperatures with the impact on the planet and importantly all over it will be far worse than we imagine and in brazil just wasn't quite enough for the right wing candidate. who got the most votes and by some margin but still the race for the presidency must go to a second round. and voting machines are being called into question some say they pose a threat to the integrity of electoral process going to looking at all the online action comics to show you the hash tag. lead. with the news grid live on air and streaming online with facebook live in an al-jazeera dot com there is a diplomatic showdown shaping up in istanbul this monday as turkey demands the right to search the saudi arabian consulate. now there has been no new information over the whereabouts of the missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi her turkish police
6:02 pm
believe was murdered inside the consulate and it's now nearly a week since he was last seen entering that building we're going to have more from istanbul shortly but i want to start with some of the international reaction we have had canada's foreign ministry saying it's concerned about his disappearance also this from the washington post wrote for them in the united states and they're demanding answers from saudi arabia in an editorial the post says having disseminated the awful charge that mystical shoji was murdered so he must immediately make public any evidence it has to back it up the united states too should demand loud and clear president trumpets treated the saudi crown prince as a favored ally and his administration sidestepped criticism of the regime's abuses if the crown prince does not respond with full cooperation congress must as a first step suspend all military cooperation with the kingdom we have also heard from the un special rapporteur on the right to freedom of expression and opinion david kay who spoke to us earlier says there needs to be an independent
6:03 pm
investigation. if it's proven. and it does seem at this point that this is what the turkish government believed that jamal khashoggi was murdered in the saudi consulate then at the very least i think i i would like to see the international community imposing some consequences on this brutal brutal act and to do so in a number of different ways one would be creating some kind of independent mechanism to ensure that there's accountability for poor the alleged murder of jamal and secondly really to think about what other kinds of consequences might might be borne by the saudi government directly there are different kinds of steps that we might think about i don't know what those are at the moment but a
6:04 pm
a an act of this kind cannot go by without reaction by the by the international community and i would be calling for some kind of action for sure. right if we go to istanbul here stephanie deca following events for us on stephanie first of all this saudi story turkish demand or request however you want to put it to get inside the saudi consulate has there been any reaction to that. no at the moment they've made it clear that they want access they want to investigate what they believe as you mentioned you know quoting to sources they believe jamal khashoggi was murdered inside that consulate here in istanbul but we haven't seen any hard facts yet what we know is that he went in to the consulate on tuesday to get papers which proved his divorce of his previous wife so that he could then marry his current fiance the next day on wednesday well he has disappeared since then the turkish authorities have also some of the saudi ambassador for a second time this week today they've been talking would be very interesting to
6:05 pm
know what exactly is being said and also interestingly the saudis have said that the cameras at this consulate was at which is of course a heavily secured compound did not record so at the moment i think everyone is waiting to see what kind of evidence turkey did say earlier that it would provide evidence and also c.c.t.v. footage of what they believe happened so i think key now is to wait and see what they're going to come up with that is of course of the diplomatically a massive potential escalation between those two countries but again also this magic not just a journalist and a critical voice of this current crown prince mohammed and son man but also who is very well connected diplomatically was an advisor to the saudi ambassador to the united states to the united kingdom he was very close to the previous king abdullah of saudi arabia he is a significant figure so it is an extraordinary story with many many different question marks still we're going to have to wait and see how this is going to
6:06 pm
unfold but certainly it is a shocking development when you look at what the turkish authorities say believe happened you point out how much worse relations could get between the two countries you know an escalation like this i mean what were relations like in the first place before this between saudi in turkey. well they've been tense over the last couple of years ever since turkey criticized saudi arabia for the coup so there is that and again turkey right now is at a very dire economical situation it doesn't want to see that go anywhere so if you do have a cut of diplomatic ties or all kinds of sort of you know measures that can be taken by both sides that will decrease to escalate not just on diplomatic terms if it's a recall of ambassadors for example but you could cut an economic relations you can have you know there's a lot of saudi tourists that come here which is feeding into the economy an economy that is already struggling so i think you know the question here is the brazenness of again we had we don't have any confirmation but if what the turks are saying is
6:07 pm
true that you know a saudi national but who is a turkish resident entered the consulate yes it is technically saudi territory but it is inside turkey carrying out a murder again these are all hypotheticals but so brazen so something so obvious goes to show that the saudis would not really have any concerns about dire consequences politically not just turkey but further afield like the united states and like other of its allies so i think again we're going to have to just sort of take a step back and wait and see what the evidence is because at the moment it is a question of he said she said the saudis say they have nothing to do with that jamal khashoggi left that consulate soon after that they are also investigating and they say they're concerned about where he is but i think what is mostly concerning is of course the turkish there that he was murdered inside his own consulate here in turkey extraordinary actually when you just say it out loud like that the whole thing is quite extraordinary stephanie taken
6:08 pm
a stand both thank you alina watching on facebook live as they hit the nail on the heavens here and stephanie made this point strictly speaking the consulate in turkey is saudi territory and they are not obliged to let anyone him isn't that how for example julian julian assange is still safe in the ecuadorian embassy in london exactly right i know this is what is stephanie was saying that the diplomacy here and that. that immunity ideas which you can have within the confines of your own embassy or consulate it's really going to come into sharp focus here or k. we're going online now with retailers to have a look at reaction to this one take us through what you found a lot of us politicians have been talking about this come all christmassy the u.s. senator from connecticut touched on the implications this will be having on u.s. saudi relations and he says the murder of shoki who is a u.s. resident would represent a fundamental break in the u.s. saudi relations virginia senate to ten cain says we must get to the bottom of what happened and then impose strong consequences targeting journalists must stop
6:09 pm
feinstein who's democrat also said this is a gross violation of human rights and it must be investigated and just ten minutes ago u.s. republican senator lindsey graham said this is devastating for the u.s. relationship and if there is any truth to reports there will be a heavy price to pay economically or otherwise well rights groups are also using the hash tag journalism is not a crime and demand press freedom raising awareness of other cases this one is taking place in me and more now about gary an investigative journalist was recently found dead in the town of ruse victoria mara nova was reporting on alleged misuse of e.u. funds at the time of her death and she was reportedly raped and murdered an al jazeera journalist which is saying is currently still in detention in egypt hussein has spent over six hundred days behind bars without charge he is accused of broadcasting false news and receiving foreign funds to defame egypt's state
6:10 pm
institutions he and al-jazeera strongly denied those allegations and the network is demanding his immediate release we also heard from the international press institution about what this all means now for journalism today. we don't know the full facts yet and it appears that tomorrow actually you know we have voted. tory. but the shocking incident is showing us once again and again here is the journalists face all over the world especially critical interest. to the public safety a journalist who lost their lives this year connection to their work according to the international press institute watch and we will continue to raise our voice to ensure that each of these cases investigation take place and those lowest possible to occur where we would love to get your thoughts on the stars to get in touch with us is the hash tag aging is great thank you the way of course have a dedicated section at al-jazeera dot com i dedicated to press freedom of course

6:12 pm
a thread of a.j. english to the tweet which goes out just before the show and they had his on duty tonight looking for your tweets at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera i'm getting plenty of comments are there lots of outrage actually at what has happened or what seems to have happened to jamal khashoggi and plus one seven four five or one triple one four nine telegram and what's happening in message just directly contant going out on telegram on our channel as well now we are moving on to a new u.n. report on climate change which is calling for urgent transformational change to avoid disastrous levels of global warming this is the i.p.c.c. the intergovernmental panel on climate change it is warning hundreds of millions of people around the world will suffer from intensifying natural disasters if forty five percent of carbon emissions almost half of them aren't cut by the year twenty thirty the details now with nothing but the threats been clear and present for many years climate change caused by human activity is putting our very survival in peril
6:13 pm
now the un's climate change body says concerted action needs to come much sooner than previously thought early action to really need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is possible they are options available there are signs that mitigation is going on but if this is to be achieved there's an urgent need to accelerate. three years ago at the paris climate change conference many governments gave themselves a pat on the back they pledged to take action to limit temperature rises to one point five degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels now the experts say they're failing and time is running out the i.p.c.c. says meeting that one point five degrees target requires a forty five percent cut in carbon emissions by twenty thirty and alarmingly zero net carbon emissions by twenty fifty with steep cuts in other greenhouse gases like methane it's a question of whether we can make certain decisions in the coming years. where the benefit of fishery is going to be our children and grandchildren and the.
6:14 pm
coming generation the i.p.c.c. says by the end of this century global sea level rises would be ten centimeters lower with warming of one point five degrees compared to two degrees and the arctic is likely to be ice free in summer around once a century at one point five degrees but at least once a decade if warming reaches two degrees none of this is academic faster action will reduce flooding giving people living on the world's coasts islands and river deltas time to adapt to climate change then there are the millions affected by drought many on the african continent we need to look at climate finance and strategies that ensure that we sort of speed or climate climate action related to issues like our culture our food security livelihoods and migrations and that's because migrations and migration is no longer a choice for lots of people in the continent it is now in must because of global warming the i.p.c.c.
6:15 pm
report says renewable energy must account for at least seventy percent of electricity by twenty fifty compared with twenty five percent now to stay within the one point five degree limit carbon will have to be sucked out of the air by machines installed on the ground and billions of trees will have to be planted and they'll be tough choices between using land for food or for biofuel crops we've been. in the solutions now it's over to our politicians and to us. it's quite a report isn't it and i do just want to bring you a little more information on the i.p.c.c. the intergovernmental panel on climate change it actually won the nobel prize back in two thousand and seven for its work in alerting the world's to the dangers of climate change but there's something important to remember here i've got their website here the i.p.c.c. has been delivering reports like this and they've got them all online since nineteen ninety two twenty six years ago which is ironic given the i.p.c.c. is now talking about an urgent twenty year period coming up i actually went back to the first i p c that's from new york going on there we go try again. the first
6:16 pm
i.p.c.c. report from one thousand nine hundred two found this first finding they say let me just zoom in a little bit we are certain of the following there is a natural greenhouse effect which already keeps the earth woman than it would otherwise be but emissions resulting from human activities the very next line they were saying this are enhanced seeing the greenhouse effect resulting in additional warming of the earth's surface so this is important to look at that was from twenty six years ago we have got very pleased to say christiana figueres it's now who is in london she was the executive secretary of the un framework convention on climate change so you're an architect of the paris climate accord back in twenty fifteen i would say well done on that because that was a huge milestone but clearly from a report like this we see that there is perhaps even more urgent work to be done more urgent than we thought. yes absolutely kemal and i think what is very
6:17 pm
important to understand is that although as you have mentioned the i.p.c.c. has been functioning as the science behind climate policy for decades it has never contradicted itself every time that we have a new i.p.c.c. report what it does is give us more certainty and more depth of analysis this is the very first time that we have an i.p.c. report that looks very specifically at the difference of the consequences between a world that whose temperature increases one point five degrees or has temperature increases by two degrees and what is very stark about this report is that although many of us might think that half a degree is not really that consequential what the report shows is that half a degree is actually a world of difference because it represents two completely worlds completely different worlds so how do we do it because ok let's first of all say that we have this ideal world where everyone agrees and all governments want to work together
6:18 pm
then you have to do something and i'm not just talking about you know recycling we have actually already agreed to that come out where we have chile already agreed to that most agreed to that under the paris agreement now it's about doing it until you spoil it tell us then so tell us what to do what in an ideal world would all those governments work together and actually make concrete decisions. yes but not only governments it is actually the entirety of society in the entire entirety of the economy and the good thing is that we already have one model that we can follow so what we're doing around the world on renewable energy is actually very much in line with the paris agreement objectives and also with this new i.p.c.c. report both of which go hand in hand the the transformation that we have in the renewable energy sector in the energy sector what the contribution of the normals is that actually we will be add to our external percentages of renewable energy by
6:19 pm
twenty thirty and by twenty fifty so we actually are very well on track there where we're not very well on track is in other sectors we're not on track with respect to land use smart agriculture restoration of degraded lands protection of currently standing forest were not doing well there were also not doing very well on heavy industry those are the sectors that are lagging behind what the report says is we can transform the economy it is technically doable it is financially feasible politically t b d and that is the piece that really needs to move forward because it's very clear that all sectors need to participate on geographies need to participate all levels of human society from governments to private sector to our to individuals in civil society everyone and finance needs to be there as
6:20 pm
well so this really is an all hands on board exercise christiana figures pleasure talking to you thank you for your time today. now of course we have our in-house meteorologists here at al-jazeera are experts on these sorts of issues and something one of them said early today kind of piqued our interest have a look this is difficult to speaking to laura col on al-jazeera news earlier about one of those headline numbers the fact that we need to reduce the c o two emissions by forty five percent of what they were in twenty ten and it needs to be done in twenty as i'm listening. so it's a huge amount and in order to do that you can't just stop using t o two you would have to start hiding c o two if it were taking out the atmosphere so we need technologies to do this for these it's way to do it to plant more trees ok that's the best thing to do but on top of that you can force it on the ground trying to hide it as i said and also you need a better transport system one that doesn't give out c o two in many ways it is these drastic action right now and that's what this report is that it's
6:21 pm
a shock this is what will happen we have to act now. did you catch the easy when their staff said plant more trees and because i'm a big fan of news you can use as we want to go down this website it's called one tree planted and there are many like this but basically they're saying it's as little as they are saying a dollar for you to donation plant a tree anywhere in the world now they show a map a little bit further down here look at that all those pink areas of the deforestation areas and you could choose any other parts of north america latin america asia africa to actually have and look down the bottom where someone from zambales philippines planted trains in colorado thirteen hours ago it's the type of thing i'm not saying it's going to solve it but a group like this and many others like it are basically taking the view that if we plant more trees at least we're giving the world a bit of a chance there so that's that's kind of interesting and you can also sort of offset your flights and things like that carbon emissions have seen websites like that so
6:22 pm
have a look for yourself because as our guest told us it's on all of us in the next twenty years to really address this so attempts to future proof yes but right now afghanistan is facing the devastating effects of climate change there been no rain for months it has left more than three million people living under severe drought conditions we've got this exclusive roof and tony you know has been one to one of the worst hit areas the province of but yes. in the barren in the hospitable terrain of northwestern afghanistan life is a challenge at the best of times but the drought that to salvage this region has made survival even more difficult in the meadow about their intimate we haven't had rain here for nine months it's devastated our community. but luis province is said to be one of the worst affected in the district of cali nor more than one hundred twenty thousand people have arrived in this one area the lack of water cause their crops to fail so they abandon their homes in villages muhammad his wife and four
6:23 pm
children walked eight hours in search of water and could not get out british and here we had nothing and we couldn't stay near to man and it was hard that we had in our chinese. un agencies are bringing in supplies but so many people are arriving at the camp they can't keep pace with the demand. the number is much much bigger than we expected and there are sources we have is even much less than what we expected so a woman talent is actually to get the necessary resources to the scale of the response to the un raise more than one hundred thirty two million dollars to tackle the emergency but that was based on estimations made months ago now the number of displaced people has swelled to more than three million and another seventy million dollars at least is needed this emergency is now into its fifth month and still these people are not receiving the humanitarian aid they desperately need a cold winter is approaching and that will make a critical situation even worse unless help comes quickly so you can see from some
6:24 pm
of the shelter around when people are basically. out in the open now that's fine when it's twenty eight twenty nine degrees centigrade during the day and only. fifteen at night but soon temperatures will be subzero here and people will die. phones could take weeks to get through and the pull of this camp don't have decent shelter sufficient food or time. many children are showing signs of acute and moderate malnutrition winter is just a few weeks away these basic shelters will offer little protection in temperatures which can drop to as low as minus ten degrees and many people complain that the afghan government has done little to help but the local government says the huge number of displaced people is putting a strain on resources. my didn't but we are giving one million liters of water a day and our water table has dropped to thirty meters at this rate we will have no
6:25 pm
water within six months the international agencies need to get people back to their homes and feed and water them there in an area with significant taliban presence that plan depends on money and security no one can promise either for now the struggle for survival for drought victims goes on tony berkeley al-jazeera province northwest afghanistan. now he has pledged to relax gun laws bring back the death penalty is accused of using the sword in a stick and homophobic rhetoric and yet brazil's far right candidate has finished way ahead of the rest in the first round of the presidential election however he has fallen just short of the fifty percent vote threshold needed to avoid a runoff latin america lucien human has the story now from rio de janeiro. brazilian voters have spoken and what they've said represents a seismic shift in this country's political preferences. from the center and center left of the last twenty four years to the extreme right represented by an obscure
6:26 pm
politician whose middle name is messiah by and that is how almost half of brazilian voters see nat'l a former army captain promises to govern with a hard hand at ease. and steal from the people the card was corruption scandal or sold us that they're all the same. the firebrand congressman has tapped into anger and frustration against corruption soaring violence and a deep recession. by the workers' party wants to control the media we have to believe in brazil we need to stay mobilized although he didn't win outright in the first round he has a commanding lead over his rival that of the leftist workers' party. who is still weak from a near fatal assassination attempt a month ago promises to counter criminals with stronger violence his old virtually
6:27 pm
massage honest racist and homophobic views frighten opponents. i was really sad when i wrote and i cried because of what is going to happen in this country. but in brazil as in a growing number of countries political incorrectness is seen by many as a virtue doesn't follow the traditional rules of the brazilian politics for example i'm sure there are many politicians in brazil who are racist who are homophobic who are misogynist but they don't speak like that in public and and the people love it oh outside of also not as house supporters feel as though they've already won and with good reason with less than three weeks to go till the runoff. has a massive gap to close and it seems nothing short of a political miracle could achieve it you see in human al-jazeera rio de janeiro. and now we're off to sao paulo to live for us i mean he didn't get he didn't pass
6:28 pm
the fifty percent but i suspect he's not dwelling on that because the gap between mr bowles and oranges nearest competitor i mean that's a lot to pull back. well most definitely that there is a big challenge ahead for phenomenal i that if he wants to turn around sunday's resolve he has already started in fact the campaign has started to day when fernando about visited former president lula da silva in prison the idea we are told is that for him to go closer towards the center he has to appeal to those voters who do not like the workers' party and that's why they didn't vote for it who maybe do not like former president lula da silva vats the strategy for a number of ads saying that he's here to defend what he calls brazilian democracy because it is risk if a man like you to also not a wins the election but it's not going to be easy and i don't have his own strategy
6:29 pm
he's already building alliances he said but he's not going to change his views he's not going to do a campaign he said of love and peace and he accused the workers' party of reid as destroying this country and blamed them for the current crisis that exists in brazil today what do you think the next three weeks are going to be like cerezo it's been such a divisive and passionate campaign already i'm wondering how brazil copes with another three weeks of this. and it will probably continue as we see both candidates intensify their come pains going out bear to get the votes they need in order to win this coming election and it's interesting what's been happening in brazil today for example the stock exchanges going up the brazilian reality soaring both are now to have said that if he wins the elections he will in a way implement policies like for example privatizing states' companies he will reduce the presence of the state in the economy and the markets are loving base
6:30 pm
also for example there's been big changes in the brazilian congress have also not a one fifty two seats there from the previous ones he had only eight feet in the past so you know we all of this shows us what's been happening in brazil until now there's lots of disenchantment in brazil with traditional politics and that's one of the reasons why people ended up voting for a man like. to raise a rose in some pollo with a live update thank you to rosa reveal of the idea of voter fraud or regularities is not new in any election but it's something very specific which people have been talking about in brazil can you take us through that you know very interesting video kemal but fraud on the electronic ballasts has been trending as reports of faulty thoughts are now affecting people's votes or even stopping the voting altogether but is this video that's gone viral it claims to show interference in brazil's presidential elections but it's been debunked by officials as you can see from this clip a voter presses one with the machine also completing it to show the teen
6:31 pm
a vote which as you can see is full fernando. or not brazil's electoral court has analyzed this footage they say that the keypad is not shown throughout the entire video which means it's likely that the video was created with two clips put together and this has generated discontent among. supporters in brazil with some here as you can see burning what they say fake ballots we also heard from a journalist there. i have a chance to talk to some as a will so a lot of supporters last sides after the first results came out. and they all told me that they were all convinced that the elections were rigged they were expecting their candidate to win sixty percent of the votes and they are blaming that result or their poor results on a fraud that happened doing deal actions however some of their opinions are also based on fake videos and fake news that were shared yesterday doing the voting also
6:32 pm
showed also about himself the candidate himself said that there was some fraud in the elections which also fed the sentiment that something went wrong but nonetheless they are still very disappointed with the results that came out yesterday now this video did get a lot of attention after it was shed by flavio boss not oh this is the son of a giant. and he has since delayed at this clip the thank the electoral court for looking at its authenticity but he also criticized the system adding if there was a vote printed none of this would be happening and jerry other son edoardo also tweeted telling people to be aware of voter fraud well if you are currently in brazil to let us know what you think of the story is the hash tag news group you can just simply message me directly for him all and thank you really look just before we go to the break some of the latest lines coming out about our top story and jamal khashoggi this is coming from president obama so forgive me i've actually
6:33 pm
got some computer problems sort of my producer's going to have a word in my and remind me but it is first of all it is coming from president obama who had said that it is up to the saudi consulate to prove definitively that jamal khashoggi did leave the building and i believe they're saying they're going to be looking at comings and goings from istanbul airport to confirm other there was talk of fifteen i believe saudi officials who may have come into the temple on the day that jamal khashoggi went into the building. so. perth now being put on saudi arabia and the consulate prove that he's not inside your building is what the president of the one saying this is the news great if you're with us on facebook we've got about a story coming up you know about mexico's equivalent to the massacre of ten square and then later a serbian nationalist miller i thought it true wants to break up bosnia he said to take the reins of power in sarajevo as the votes are counted in the general
6:34 pm
election. hello there for some of us in the middle east there's been an awful lot of wet weather recently and we have had reports of flooding mostly out of the northern parts of iran where the rain was so severe that the flooding that destroyed that bridge and it's caused quite a bit of damage now we're going to see a few more showers as we head through the day but nothing this dramatic the rain responsible well it's here now working its way of parts of afghanistan on up towards tashkent to now marty but for the west we've just got a handful of showers here far more subdued and they're working their way eastward so a couple more showers in this region as we head through tuesday nothing too sinister then we've also got a fair few showers over the new from parts of turkey little bit further towards the south and here in doha the temperature is around thirty seven or thirty eight degrees at the moment but it's for the south we're going to keep a close eye on the weather because this blog of cloud and rain here it's
6:35 pm
a developing cycle and it's still intensifying as it runs its way north woods for some of us in oh man then and across into yemen it looks like we're going to see a period of very heavy rain and destructive winds as well as that storm eventually comes on shore we're not expecting it until around friday but on wednesday the rain will already be starting for some of us further towards the south you see the showers that we've had over parts and maybe a looks like those will be clearing away the for tuesday. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life to the bench and fight against corruption and what i have heard is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this.
