dug by the lebanese armed group hezbollah in the distance you can see a should work under way israel saying that these tunnels are part of hezbollah's offensive plan they believe in any future conflict hezbollah's going to move the battlefield into israeli territory hezbollah secretary general has on the stroller has indicated a few years ago that that would be the plan they would no longer just defend territory but shift the battlefield into israel israel is concerned but there is no indication that there will be a military flare up neither israel nor hezbollah are interested hezbollah under strain because of sanctions sanctions not only against the group but against its patron iran it also has been involved in a costly war in neighboring syria israel also not interested in the military confrontation it is worried about hezbollah's growing arsenal the very fact that it believes it has missiles to target all areas in israel this really is about israel putting more and more pressure on iran trying to prevent iran from spreading its

influence across the region in recent years it has been targeting iran and its assets in syria but it seems as of late the focus now is on levanon because russia in one way or another is clipping iran's wings in syria it knows to stabilize syria and to get the international community on board it's going to need to weaken iran's presence in syria so the focus now in lebanon on israel's aim is to try to contain hezbollah's growing strength that will not be easy because the group is not only heavily armed it is a controlling parliament and it has the say in the next government. denmark and bersin have been named the top countries when it comes to fighting climate change this is delegates from around two hundred nations meeting in poland for un climate change talks notice cop twenty four that are going to negotiate a way of implementing the twenty fifteen paris climate courts but many nations appear to be breaking ranks not least brazil as nick clark explains.

access to soil in cattle farmers to clear even more. but despite appearances these lawyers from brazil's tropical forest institute are actually trying to save the rain forest there's a block a few this park is the identification of the tree deemed for cutting of cord they explain that the institute has developed a sustainable method of logging that requires carefully selecting trees by age and size but. we also cut the trees so that it will fall towards the light it indicates that the force is less dense there which reduces the collateral damage. the system which is now compulsory put strict limits on harvesting no tree can be cut here unless it has a minimum of fifty centimeters in diameter and a maximum of five trees can be cut in an area the size of a football field for the next thirty five years this allows the younger trees to flourish but starting in january when brazil swears in

a new government the old system of logging which has little if any restrictions could become the norm again scientists insist that the amazon is vital for countering greenhouse gases responsible for climate change but president elect not all questions its very existence he's intent on opening up the amazon to cattle ranchers farmers miners and construction companies that supported his campaign. amazon expert warns the price of further deforestation is too high we have evidence that is already harming our climate system brazil depends a lot on the rain that is associated with the fourth. not only because of her but also because of power generation new satellite data shows that in the last year alone amazon deforestation has jumped thirteen point seven percent

a loss of nearly one point two billion trees the reduction of forest cover is provoking extreme drought. and forest fires that are actually contributing to c o two gases. it's a manmade phenomenon that if allowed to expand may end up choking the amazon rain forest known as the lungs of the world you see in human al-jazeera brazil. and reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera istanbul's chief prosecutor is demanding the arrest of two people close to the saudi crown prince over the killing of jamal his. former deputy intelligence chief off made a series is accused of assembling the team that killed his shorty on the orders of crown prince mohammed bin salma and will court of voice assad al cottony who was one of the prince's closest aides allegedly led that hit squad well turkey's
