1:06 am
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 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 it's 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
1:07 am
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 more ferocious hurrican cyclons forming over the world's oceans and when they hit land from florida to the philippines the effects of 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.
1:08 am
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 number 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 disagrees i don't believe it now no i don't believe it believe it or not the science says. 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
1:09 am
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 pass a temperature rise of one of the hoff degrees celsius within twelve years unless countries slash their emissions by five times their planned amount and that will 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 have been marching through belgium this was earlier on calling for action from governments around the world to reach goals set out in the paris climate agreement rally passed by the european commission and courses. now in all the stories of following donald trump has agreed to delay increasing
1:10 am
trade tariffs on chinese imports at least for the next ninety days the u.s. and chinese presidents met at the g. twenty summit on saturday and said they'll use the time to try to resolve their differences the u.s. is planning to boost tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods for next year china has agreed to buy what's described as a very substantial amount of american foreign energy and industrial goods china correspondent adrian brown has more on the reaction from beijing. well the governments of both china and the united states are putting a positive spin on the outcome of these talks but this is not a deal it is a truce a temporary cease fire because the white house is still warning that if after the ninety day period there is still no agreement between china and the united states on their many trade issues then the united states will impose tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods that's on top of terrorists that already apply to two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods now the
1:11 am
chinese foreign minister wang ye says that he hopes it can be more exchanges and visits between the two sides just before the talks president xi jinping said he was very happy to be meeting president donald trump and the best option for china and the united states was cooperation but there remains a fundamental areas of disagreement between these two sides especially in the area of force technology transfer and the fact that the united states says that u.s. companies that want to do business here in china have to enter into fifty fifty joint venture arrangements and then hand over their know how the united states is saying that has to stop there is one area though i think where president xi jinping is unlikely to yield and that concerns his industrial policy known as made in china twenty twenty five this is his aim to make china a world leader in technologies of the future things like artificial intelligence
1:12 am
and robotics but the united states is saying that china will do this by heavily subsidizing the companies involved and it says that has to stop president xi jinping has maintained that it won't. the. u.s. news channel c.n.n. has reported message exchanges between saudi janice. and montreal based activist. well as these where they panned an online movement that would hold the saudi state to account in exchange of more than four hundred whatsapp messages a year before his murder the shoji described his saudi crown prince mohammed bin soundman as obese who would devour all in his party. reportedly conceived plans to form an electronic army to engage young saudis back home and debunk state propaganda additional offensive was dubbed the cyber bees they discuss creating
1:13 am
a portal for documenting human rights abuses in saudi arabia. is following the story and joins us now from washington. tell us more about these whatsapp messages and what they could potentially reveal about the murder of jamal khashoggi. well i think what they reveal about jamal khashoggi is that he wasn't just a man of words he's a man that was so concerned with the crown prince's behavior in his home country that he wanted to take direct action there are four hundred messages between a dis dissident in canada and khashoggi and it's clear that he wanted to actually from what the messages reveal fund what he called an electronic army that not that involved sending sim cards back to young people in saudi arabia so that they could post on social media and not be traced and there's a lot to unpack here four hundred watts out messages between these two people but abdul aziz says that at one point he believes his phone was hacked using israeli
1:14 am
spy ware and that really directly he thinks resulted in cause shock g.'s death it's something he says he regrets deeply but also abdul aziz was contacted by saudi officials whilst he was in canada and secretly recorded ten hours of conversations in which they were trying to entice abdel aziz into a building now he says that jamal khashoggi told him directly in messages do not go anywhere but a public place to meet these people from saudi arabia now abdel aziz thinks that actually saved his life but at the same token he thinks that he may now be responsible for jamal khashoggi just because he believes that the saudi arabian government intercepted these messages by utilizing this spyware from the israeli government abdulaziz him self is now taking legal action against the company which developed the spyware but again we're getting a clearer picture of the concerns jihad about mohammed bin some on the crown prince of saudi arabia someone he refers to as
1:15 am
a beast as pac-man someone who he says that has wants to show off his powers of oppression now how this will directly tie into any investigation into what happened in october when jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi arabian embassy in istanbul we don't yet know but it can. really paints a picture of someone who was a journalist someone who was a critic in the washington post but also someone who wanted to directly take action to help young saudi arabians spread the word of freedom through social media and in fact promising abdulaziz that he would try and raise thirty thousand dollars to do just that all right thank you very much for the latest from washington and a gallica that sounds speak to ronnie korea journalism professor at the american university of beirut and senior fellow at harvard kennedy school he joins us via skype from boston thanks very much for taking the time to speak to us how important is it that we see and this interaction a conversation that goes from focusing on oppression arbitrary arrests and
1:16 am
injustice to the formation of a movement for change this is really critical and this has come up before in the last couple months as the shooting murder issue has been widely discussed what the saudis clearly were concerned about was the shoji but gone beyond just writing in the newspapers or giving media interviews but he was actually starting to organize some saying the word is there promote free press freedom of expression or maybe as we know to hold the saudi government accountable and that's the red line really that political regimes and elites don't except they don't mind of people talking and say things and tweet them stuff most of them don't some of them put you in jail for tweeting of the many of the gulf countries do but they don't want you to actually start organizing and mobilizing people so this clearly led to.
1:17 am
and the report suggests that the interactions would have been seen by the kingdom that they were intercepted in some way just expand a little bit more on how how the establishment in saudi arabia arabia would have viewed these messages and their contents. we know a lot about how arab governments autocratic governments were all across the arab world and they all work in the same way they try to intimidate independent thinkers they try to buy them off they try to entice them to come and work with them they did that with them alone and they were trying to do it to them what a lousy is they try to buy off bring you and give you a seat next to the great leader and you get to fly with them on their first class planes to paris and washington stuff like that and if that and the if that doesn't work then they start trying to intimidate you they arrest your family members if
1:18 am
you're overseas they arrest would be if you have cases of this and beheaded in another our countries and activists say this all the time they say are lying low because i don't want my family back home to be hurt and this is a common procedure imo butterman so all across the world and much of the third world as well and if that doesn't work then they try to stop you from doing your activity whether you're talking or writing or are there organizing it either by arresting you and putting you on trial on fake accusations as happens across tens of thousands of cases across the arab world people are in jail just because of the views they hold or in the worst case they torture you and kill you so there's a whole range of activities that go on and they're really very similar across most of the most of the governments not on them in the countries and we saw this clearly
1:19 am
was the herschel p. case again. well thank you for putting it into context for us joining us that from boston rami curry journalism professor at the american university of beirut and see a fellow at the harvard kennedy school well in all the developments the saudi crown prince has left mauritania after a short visit and has landed in algeria now hunted bin soundman was greeted by president mohammed abdul aziz in the martain capital want shot is present spot demonstrations linked to his alleged involvement in mud a number of algerian intellectuals journalist politicians i'm religious leaders signed a statement against his visit there have been protests against the crown prince chairing several stops of his overseas told with al jazeera live from london most ahead for you on the program mexico's new president is sworn in and he's promising a deep and radical change to the country.

that for all the promises his plans remain threadbare and the sums to start i don't know how do you put together on the one hand that all all the measures are going to cost a lot of money we are not going to raise taxes that's why that what the government has announced and he says that everybody is going to everything is going to be paid off by cutting corruption but corruption and cutting corruption it's not only a matter of political will it's a matter of. corrupt ineffective in the regions and so far in the measures that he has announced there is no use to these in our group building in the as a priority of the new government it's a common criticism to his supporters his word is enough to know there's a lot of hope here mr lopez obrador won by a landslide but there's also a desperation for change more than forty percent of mexicans are poor the murder
