south we'll see what have to roll the heavy showers over parts of borneo and across into somalia as well we head down towards australia there's a fair amount of cloud across this central patch at the moment that's giving us a few rumbles of thunder as it works its way eastwards but what you really notice is that we've got this dark patch here on our map for tuesday this is a cycling that's working its way towards us and ahead of it we're going to be seeing a few showers around queensland so it looks like queensland going to see quite a bit of rain as we head through the week and so hopefully that will bring some benefits if we head towards new zealand though there's far too much wet weather here we've got yet another weather system that's pushing its way northward some of the worst of the weather is likely to be in westland and south wind and here it really won't be very wet indeed that's pushing its way northward so as we head through into wednesday looks like it should be a bit brighter particularly in the north. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of the lives. of the stories

u.s. and mexico are holding two days of talks on migration in washington the u.s. government is hoping to sign a deal to allow a group of central american asylum seekers to stay in mexico that's while the u.s. applications are being processed thousands of people are living in shelters in border towns hoping to be allowed to cross into the united states. the red cross says the world is failing hundreds of thousands of child refugees who are traveling alone and says they're easy prey for abusers exploiters and people traffickers three hundred thousand children migrated without a family member last year that's five times more than in twenty twelve the red cross believes that figure is even higher today it says when children travel alone often across continents there are quotes very high risk of being assaulted abused raped or trafficked into sexual abuse for incest graca is the president of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies he joins us now

from rome is rocco welcome to al-jazeera take us through the main findings of your new report you know it would be. the concern is very high that last year the number was three hundred thousand but we think that the zero was even uyghur and this sort of ways that we launched the prove that vast majority of the children that made the journey and accompanied the way are victims of violence . rape and their unthinkable is suffering and so we we think that we have to do something and we have to inform our especially just a few days before the global compact on migration which is a moment on which we can discuss with the country how to better protect that devoid of all groups and specially deny north do you have exact figures for this.

yes we have some figures of course this is. just as an example we launch a survey in the u.k. of one hundred. miners that we interviewed the thirty five per cent was victim of violence and abuse in immediately we interview with thirty and the thirty five per cent that was victim of abuse in. central america more than seventy that sixty five percent was victim of abuse and this is a reason why when we talk with her for example as for the carolina that was going through the central america to the board there all of us there is on why they were going together it was not just to make a demonstration but just a few more protected from the violence or the sexual assault or the race means that all the the migrants suffer during this journey it's surprising isn't it that so many children and young teenagers end up doing this five six seven year old one

assumes would never choose to do this off their own battle mean a six year old's never going to say i'm going to leave where i live at the moment and try to get to another part of the world on foot so are they leaving because their families and their friends have all been killed in a conflict or are they leaving because the parents or their guardians say or a family member puts them into a coach caravan situation. there are different situation that if i think about my personal experiences for example in bangladesh many of the young children lost their parents because they were killed and they were living in the cult but zara in the biggest with we just can't buy that now we're having him in bangladesh completely alone and so situation is different from my from my continent to another continent there most of the younger i need that in there to

buy there are in many other places like king kong what. we experienced in the situation then for example the knee jerk very young. to make their joining in to earn the money they use these houses say now that they. miss on clothes in which they sell them sell for twenty dollars for a client which is a something really unthinkable and believe it will get disappointing in these days there is talk and your report touches on this as well humanitarian service points but would it be fair to say that governments in those middle countries are not keen on that because that speaks to a certain permanence and no prime minister no president is going to sell to his electorate the idea of being on that caravan type route as a permanent fixture because we're being told say the european refugee crisis has peaked but you're discussing refugee crises around the world. first

of all the we are discussing this around the world but i disagree this is not the point or they will not become permanent residents this is only about dignity to provide very very basic services the health care basic information about the risk of the jordan this is what normally we do we launched this service as an example either when they arrived and we all know that the day they wouldn't stay they didn't need a day they were committed to reach there not of europe but they didn't want to stay in immediately and and we just provided them the basic information health care just basic basic and this is is not transforming anyone in a permanent residence as i fully disagree on now on this vision this is about the human dignity which always must be granted by everyone and by any any government or states mr rocco thank you very much.

the world bank says it's doubling its funding for poorer countries to deal with climate change to two hundred billion dollars as leaders gather in poland for un talks aimed at tackling global warming delegates from nearly two hundred nations of two weeks to agree on details of the twenty fifteen paris climate accord club as more as a crucial climate talks proceed in poland 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 urban sprawl consumerism and technology are altering the planet just as big glasses or meets your strikes have done but when did this manmade change begin well as daniel lott 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 annual basis this is the mouth part of a fly 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 say i can't cope with this anymore and then 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 artist 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 a months old strike by teachers in some governments and universities in the area shows no sign of ending the go see asians have been deadlocked with thousands of students sent home for decades now funding for education in nigeria has been below internationally acceptable standards critics say education attracted less than ten percent of the budget this year a committed tourist has that story from sokoto in northern nigeria. and dost tell how long it is since anyone set foot in this university lecture hole it's still and quiet except for the movement of the door to plates of
