have to shut down the economy of the union. but then he is a member of parliament from an opposition far left party she explained the reasons behind the unrest. it's a protest against for billions that were taken from the pockets of the poor people and were given free of anything to the richest to the world feels in this is a society and that's the very reason why people are onto the street people very are working people who are fed up with the discourse we have the propaganda of a government who can hear the anger of the people and who keeps going straight to the wall and pushing everybody aside not listening to the opposition to the parliament that's why the people are protesting and this is part of our tradition of egalitarian isn't and through revolutionary tradition you talk about hard working people who are fed up but the pictures we saw the images we saw from paris
10:06 pm

is at a crossroads and decisive action must be taken to tackle the most pressing issues confronting the world climate change that's the message of four former presidents of the un climate talks delegates from nearly two hundred nations are in poland for two weeks to agree on the details of the twenty fifteen paris climate accord and the need to find a common ground seems even more now as nick clark explains the thousands of scientists politicians and leaders of industry meeting in poland but perhaps the most important climate conference there's ever been the challenge to unite on how to implement the paris agreement of two thousand and fifteen which aims to shift the world away from fossil fuels and to limit the rise in global temperatures to between one and a half degrees celsius and two degrees celsius that agreement is jus to come into force in less than two years time in twenty twenty but a report from the united nations shows that the world is completely off track
10:08 pm
heading instead towards three degrees celsius and that is twice the recommended rate of warming and as this year has proven time is on no one side. you know well currently one degree celsius warmer than pre-industrial times the fingerprints of climate change and its human impact becoming increasingly apparent. and not just in the developing world. the worst wildfires in california history last month led to multiple deaths and extraordinary destruction they had. demonic plants is the only way i can put it it's like our eyes are gone you know our lives everything we have is gone now more and bigger wildfires are predicted around the world as temperatures increase. right now in afghanistan drought is tightening its stranglehold thousands of families have lost everything there are reports of children being sold off to pay off debt or buy food. across the world drought will worsen with increasing famine as heat waves strengthen. the living seas have led to
10:09 pm
more ferocious hurrican cyclons forming over the world's oceans and when they hit land from florida to the philippines the effects are catastrophic especially as rising sea levels mean even more destructive storm surges. ice sheets are retreating ecosystems are under pressure. and all the while greenhouse gas emissions have reached record levels at a time when scientists say they need to be radically reducing. these impacts. maybe increase as we go toward one hundred five degrees and further increase for two degrees so what one point five degrees allows us is to keep the rate of change at the nub of that makes these intakes more manageable for society as this is devastation in the united states comes as a u.s. government report projects losses to the u.s. economy in future decades hundreds of billions of dollars every year one man
10:10 pm
disagrees i don't believe it now no i don't believe it believe it or not the science says. as this is no time for. failure to act means more disasters of the emergencies and their pollution that could cost the global economy as much as twenty one three million u.s. dollars by twenty fifty. since those euphoric scenes in paris three years ago there's been plenty of backsliding on national promises to reduce c o two emissions there is now a tremendous gap between what's required and what's being done and experts say that path leads to widespread poverty and global insecurity the gap these to close in poland over the next fortnight now the un report warns will pulse a temperature rise of one of the half degrees celsius within twelve years unless countries slash their emissions by five times their planned amount and that will
10:11 pm
impact hundreds of millions of people in every continent on the globe exacerbating the risk of drought floods extreme heat and poverty those who know the sun's they say the urgency of this climate conference in poland cannot be overstated well thousands of people marching in belgium ahead of the latest round of un climate talks calling for action from governments around the world to reach the goal set out in the paris agreement rally policy or paint commission head courses or fill full nail is a crime activist and former national coordinator for the campaign against climate change he says any progress on the matter is being stifled by the rise of populist politics. this conference is not going to come up with anything genetic it's only the way it's set up it might come up with a set of rules if we're lucky for the for the and the protective set of rules for the parents agreements but we're limited by the parents' agreement itself the
10:12 pm
commitments that nations have made enough to to effectively combat climate change and worse than that the politics around climate change has got worse since the climate agreement i mean global politics since then has been defined pretty much by the rise of a right wing populism i mean trump in the u.s. but also in our in brazil so the real battlefield is not within the talks. the battlefield to to act effectively. combat climate change is really in the political arena outside the talks and it's it's finding some kind of effective response to the new. right wing populism that it hits this wagon to a greater or lesser degree of climate denialism so we need an effective response to that. it's been two months since the saudi jealous remark
10:13 pm
a shot she was knighted in the country's consulate in istanbul algiers tony berkeley looks back at how the investigation has unfolded so far and the continuing fight for justice by khashoggi family and friends. these days they keep a part van in front of the entrance to the saudi consulate in istanbul to stop prying eyes for the last eight weeks saudi arabia has been unable to stop the world from knowing what happened inside this building on october the second despite the saudi lies and deception the planning and intent family and friends are determined on bringing the man who gave the order for jamal khashoggi murder to justice the fight for justice for cheese continue and to continue of course at the end until. everybody will be satisfied that justice and now i am ready for it very fortunately now the problem the issue is ensuring internation sure it's an

it's a university sure now the saudis say five an amen part of the fifty man so-called hit squad are facing the death penalty in saudi arabia for the murder six others a charge with related offenses although western intelligence agencies believe all the evidence circumstantial and otherwise points to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman as the architect of the killing some diplomats believe he has got away with it was executing five. people who are. killed. false or two while they have done and the other. seven or rule six remaining six there will be most for religion and they will close the case turkey and the rest of the world is shocked by the barbarity of the murder president recep tayyip erdogan and turkey's government has leaked details of audio
10:15 pm
recordings from inside the consulate before joining and after the killing investigators revealed phone calls made to riyadh with one of the hit squad saying tell the boss the deed is done without stating his name the turks have made it obvious. the boss is mohammed bin sound man but turkey's options are limited by a lack of saudi cooperation and a lack of will from the international community the saudis are using the vienna convention on diplomatic immunity is as reasons not to hand over the suspects to turkey no nor state you her own citizens are in a state for foreign investigation so the issue here is this really think it's so different. than will come to an end in turkey you should make this issue to international level because the nation the investigation.
10:16 pm
will be a day and that is the only way this case can be investigated fairly and openly but turkey's government mindful of its situation regarding human rights and treatment of some of its own citizens is reluctant to call for a u.n. investigation and western governments seem disinterested as could be seen at the g twenty summit in argentina some politicians have short memories and forgiving natures when it comes to trade deals it now seems likely that the real culprit behind this crime is going to get away with it and that the murder of your market shortly will become a paragraph in history in a bloody region and that's a sad indictment not only of saudi arabia but also of the international community which is that by and watched and done nothing. tony burke the al-jazeera. one and all the developments the saudi crown prince has left martini after a short visit and is on his way to algeria mohammed bin selman was greeted by president mohammed old abdel aziz in the martini capital

10:26 pm
appends in n.g.o.s believe that this was pretty much vote buying on a massive scale so what they're calling for the opposition is early parliamentary elections but that looks like an unrealistic scenario unless they can get huge numbers of people onto the streets over the coming days it doesn't look likely at the moment especially given the international community has already given its support to sell amazing rubbish really but they also note that there were serious problems with this election process. and they also point out these monitoring groups who oversaw this election that it was both sides not just the government but the opposition against in hate speech and in a very negative campaign situation rather than focus on important platform issues and that that is undermines faith in the democratic process here. and

10:29 pm
a revolutionary technique that could save many lives but also raises major ethical questions for example the potential to create to pull you meant you can renew and even enhance their organs and live to a very old age and safety concerns if organs can be printed by anyone without medical expertise and how to regulate this if it's done in space this is a very interesting question and i think in outer space there is very difficult to to claim jurisdiction over activity in outer space and especially asking these kinds of experimenting to use their will to claim. research exceptions and so i will say. it's not as. still in blue sky and. scientists came to nyc at the moment
10:30 pm
