climate change plus. i'm daniel black at crawford lake near toronto beneath the still waters this lake scientists are trying to find out when humans begin to have more impact on the planet than any other force in nature. the. newly released private messages of journalist jamal khashoggi a revealing a candid account of his take on the saudi crown prince c.n.n. gained access to exchanges between the saudi journalist and a montreal based activist they planned an online movements that would hold the saudi state to account called mohammad bin salmond a beast who would devour all in his path it was one of four hundred watts have messages a year before his matter. is talked of plans to form an electronic army to engage young saudis back home and debunk state propaganda the digital offensive was dubbed

the cyber b.s. they discussed creating a portal to document human rights abuses in saudi arabia and gallagher has more from washington d.c. . well what these hundreds of messages reveal is that jamal khashoggi was so concerned with what was going on in saudi arabia that he wanted to take more action than just writing in the newspapers here in the u.s. his plan was to arm a so-called electronic army with a sim card sim cards that will be provided to young saudi arabians who would then be allowed to post on social media and that would be untraceable he'd already pledged five thousand dollars to counterparts in canada and plan to give about twenty five thousand more dollars to the cause but the canadian counterpart when he discovered that is what messages were actually being hacked or had been hacked using israeli military grade spy where everything changed for that dissident in canada he was contacted by saudi arabian officials and given

a piece of advice by jamal khashoggi that he says potentially saved his life he told a dissident in canada do not meet these people anywhere but in a public place on the flipside of that the canadian dissident now believes that he may well be responsible for two market shock she's death because he thinks the saudi arabian government got hold of these four hundred messages which go way beyond newspaper articles for the saudi arabians this could well have crossed a red line and he now feels extremely guilty for what happened in october in istanbul to jamal khashoggi when he revealed that he had he thought the messages had been hacked jamal khashoggi reply was very telling it simply said god help us well takis president has repeated his demands that saudi arabia reveal the whereabouts of jamal khashoggi as buddy russia tyro and says he will look for international involvement to pursue justice if necessary he says he would have confronted the saudi crown prince with all the evidence if he had a chance. the crown prince's landed in algeria in an effort to boost ties between

the two countries but many are angry about his visit to north africa saying he's attempting to whitewash his image following the death of a number of prominent algerians have signed a statement against his visit man had been sound man had just come from the mara tanian capital no chart where his presence sparked protests he has one last stop in jordan before he returns home from matheson reports from amman. jordanian say they know about the controversy surrounding the saudi crown prince thanks to jordan's media they know that mohammed bin some months tour of out of allies prompted adulation in the united arab emirates protesters fury into musea and awkwardness among some world leaders in argentina at the g twenty summit but many jordanians don't seem to know who he will be visiting their capital city amman most of jordan's newspapers t.v. networks and its radio stations support the government the jordanians would find it

pretty hard to find any mention of the crown prince's visit to jordan in the last few days not surprising because saudi arabia for decades has been making big investments in jordan's economy but so have other countries jordan feels that it has to tread a very fine diplomatic line they think that saudi arabia probably is the only country in the arab world that gives money and jordan and they don't want to jeopardize that and put this on trust so this is probably the only reason for didn't to receive him in this way but at the same time they don't really publicize this visit as when the conference of the united arab emirates came to jordan it was a kind of festival but here it's like almost unnoticed some believe the crown prince wants to take over custodianship of muslim holy sites in jerusalem a room with a lot of global influence that's currently carried out by jordan's world family and earlier this year. saudi arabia reduced the funding it's been giving to jordan but

jordan struggling economy needs saudi investment despite saudi's economic influence there are jordanians who object to the crown prince's visit many don't want to speak openly in case their government identifies them. i think the goal of his visit is to improve his image by gathering alliances i think saudi arabia is blackmailing jordan because jordan needs saudi money but i think this is making jordanians on the government very angry the ground prince's tour is being regarded as an effort to bolster support for the saudi version of events in istanbul of the murder of journalist. and the saudi and amorality led coalition's war in yemen jordan has firmly declared itself a saudi ally but the official response to bin solomon's arrival appears subdued rob matheson al-jazeera amman jordan next to the war in yemen and

fifty injured who think fighters will be evacuated on monday for treatment and i'm on the capital muscat the saudi immorality led coalition has confirmed that it will allow the wounded who is to fly out on a united nations plane un envoy martin griffiths requested the arrangement as a goodwill gesture ahead of peace talks in sweden this month signal about as a nonresident fellow at the gulf international forum and he says the evacuation is a welcome development. we know that this push which is spearheaded by the u.n. envoy has been going on for at least a couple weeks or mom house hosted the u.n. envoy who has shuttled between washington in. riyadh and sought to try to get this peace set off before peace talks assume so the fact that we're even discussing these issues which previously was off limits is in itself a diplomatic victory we should always have cautious optimism because i think that

the first results that we would we would have to look at is whether or not these peace talks take place and whether or not they will be aboard at the last minute that's the first aspect the secular aspect is if they do indeed take place we will expect some sort of resolution between duhoux thesis and the united nations and the saudis over whether the u.n. will take over to management of the port there who died to help bring in humanitarian supplies into yemen so that is if that is achieved then the rest of the peace process will be in good tracks but that's the first challenge if and when the peace talks take place israeli police say they have enough evidence to indict prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife on bribery charges they're accused of fraud and breach of trust in dealings with israel's largest telecoms operation doesn't yahoo denies any wrongdoing police have already recommended challenging

netanyahu over allegations he accepted gifts from billionaire friends he's accused of offering to promote new laws to benefit them in exchange for positive media coverage. whole group show rush i'm not thoughtful supposing the police recommendations on the last day of the police commissioner some ten years proves what i've been saying from day one this is a fixed game the sword israel is a country with the rule of law and police recommendations have no legal significance countless police recommendations are rejected. now to get i am has more from western. it appears the legal woes are mounting for prime minister benjamin netanyahu in this wide ranging corruption investigation that has plagued him and his wife since last year on sunday for the third time police recommended he be indicted in this case it involves an israeli company called telecom and police are alleging that prime minister netanyahu doled out regulatory favors in

exchange for favorable coverage of him and his wife on a website that the company own it's now this is the third corruption related case that israeli police believe netanyahu should be charged in in february police recommended he face indictment over allegedly accepting almost three hundred thousand dollars in bribes from wealthy businessmen and for attempting to solidify positive coverage of him in israel's biggest newspaper by promising to curtail coverage at one of its rivals in response to these allegations netanyahu has released the same statement he has from the onset he says there is no legal basis for these police recommendations and nothing will materialize from this investigation it's important to note that these are simply recommendations by the israeli police only the attorney general has the ability to indict and it could

take months to do so as i mentioned this investigation has been in the works since last year now despite what appears to be mounting legal woes for netanyahu his popularity here in israel remains high according to public opinion polls. weather update next a bit still ahead on al-jazeera french president emanuel calls for talks with protest leaders after violent demonstrations in paris. by the springtime flowers of a mounting leak. to the sun smoke on the wind tuesday. had i was about two or three days between bites of right in the levant moment also got nothing much happening in iran apart from the showers it looked likely in the caspian sea we have got incoming from the eastern med the next developing

the while bank says it's doubling its funding for poorer countries to deal with climate change to chew hundred billion dollars the announcement comes as leaders gather in poland for un talks aimed at tackling global warming delegates from nearly two hundred nations have two weeks to agree on details of the twenty fifteen paris climbers accord presidents of previous summits issued a joint statement calling for immediate decisive action. as the crucial climate talks proceed in poland's most scientists now agree that we've entered a new segment of geological time the anthropocene where human impact is the most significant force in nature in the way greenhouse gases sproule consumerism and technology are altering the planet just as big glass is all means you're strikes have done that when did this is a manmade change begin well is done a lot now reports the answer may lie beneath a small body of water just outside toronto protected by

strict conservation laws crawford lake is relatively pristine it's deep low in oxygen waters produce sediments that can be accurately dated year by year like the rings of a tree these scientists are gathering and freezing centuries old layers of mud and material to try to find out when the anthropocene began this is an annual natural archive of all of the impact on the lake so it preserves chemical biological physical things on an annual basis on a reliable and this is the mouth part of flying back at the lab professor mccarthy examines mud layers looking for fossilized plants and animals other researchers find radioactivity from nuclear bomb tests six decades ago plastic particles and other changes that can only have been introduced by humans the work that's going on

here at crawford lake is more than just science it's also about focusing the minds of governments policymakers and the public on how to curb some of the things we're doing to this planet. earth scientists who specialize in dating geological time are watching closely and finding compelling proof that we are in the early years of the anthropocene what's important here are the critical feedback mechanisms that kick in the earth really operating as a system and saying that's it i can't cope with this anymore and then that is it then starts to respond. at this toronto art gallery the evidence of human impact on display is in startling imagery of mining farming industry and urbanization it's art aimed at forcing us to think about how much impact we've already had through pollution climate change and population growth i think the artists ultimately want us to think about how we've built what we've built and how

we can build something different how we can build perhaps perhaps solve the problem or change mitigate some of the impacts we've had it'll be at least two years before a final decision on the start of the anthropocene and this small body of water near canada's largest city will a played a crucial part in determining the march of geological time and what might be done about human impact on the planet daniel lak al jazeera crawford lake near toronto ban ki moon is the former secretary general of the united nations and is now the co-chair of the global commission on adaptation he told al jazeera it's more important than ever to try to deal with the effects of climate change. i urge that we need to do much much more much more and faster in implementing this this is already a three years we do not have time the climate change is happening much much faster than one may expect the most recent report by i.p.c.c.

intergovernmental panel on climate change has made it clear that we must make sure that the global temperature rise should it contained the below one point five degrees celsius this is a very important announcement which we have to do i sincerely hope that a cut twenty four in ca to. poland i will make much much more detailed action oriented programs we have already a wasted three years and with all this of some countries like the united states be drawing from paris climate agreement it has given large of ten meters to our critical real at the same time i am very much encouraged that the values of what some other countries are skeptical about this we are moving on particularly in the united states even there is a ground australian support from the mayor and sent governors and businesses

societies and also civil societies there is no way this is unstoppable we have to move on for our succeeding generation french president emanuel macron has ordered his prime minister to hold talks with political leaders and yellow vests demonstrators this comes after more than one hundred people were injured and violent clashes over rising fuel taxes on the weekend david chase has more from paris. as soon as his plane touched down the twenty summit in argentina president emmanuel marking went directly to inspect the damage at the ark to trill. afterwards he walked over to greet police and.
