the twentieth century since the eighteen eighties the global temperature has increased by one degree celsius with scientists blaming increased emissions of greenhouse gases caused by human activity it is alarming it's not surprising because we've been the stick predicting this for thirty years and finally it's actually happening but it is alarming because the things that are driving this the increases in greenhouse gases we're still increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere year on year a un climate change panel has warned the world has only twelve years to reign in global warming before hundreds of millions of people across the planet will suffer from extreme heat and poverty you're seeing very direct impacts in waves more intense rainfall events coastal flooding because of increased sea level rise. we're seeing melting ice in the arctic on greenland and antarctica melting glaciers all

around the world and that's having effects on our water resources we're seeing increased drying in the summers that's impacting droughts it's impacting forest fires it's impacting ecosystems the most ambitious goal of the paris climate accord limits global warming to one point five degree celsius by the centuries and but even then more than a third of himalayan glaciers will have melted scientists say still much more should be done to move away from fossil fuels and minimize humans carbon footprint . castro al-jazeera. is still ahead when we come back harsh words from the president of the european council about probe regs it politicians ahead of prime minister to resign may's visit to brush. benjamin netanyahu launches a slick election campaign but will it be enough to win another term as israel's prime minister.

digging and it was the worst day of our lives because we weren't prepared for what we'd find me knew we were looking for dead people but the moment we saw the bones many families broke down crying and destroyed thinking that our relatives could be there. years of fighting between organized crime and the government has left the country poked by clan the starting graves many believe the thirties have shown little interest in finding them we think just bully cause the detectives went to look for our relatives in an office they just want to file away their cases but our relatives didn't disappear in their offices in response people have organized themselves in groups to spread the word pressure officials and dig it's cost mario dearly he's apart from his wife and two year old daughter most of the time they had to move from his village to a rented room in mexico city for their safety and those loopholes in the criminal

groups have threatened me because i've gone to places where they're operating there was a cave when i went to look for people and the guy said to me the boss says to i don't stir things up don't go in there we'll kill you but it's not just organized crime the police and armed forces have also disappeared people actually think almost mirror will be able i'm more scared of the government than the gangs when i'm digging in to find it disappeared person that's a problem for them and i worry that they'll get rid of me. he writes official one hundred seamers he was promised a fresh start the new government is pumping twenty million dollars into a. to find the missing. maybe this would be the start of a change but it's going to take many years so this really scene is with with us that he dug into a mass grave we made him do it to see what it's like digging to find your relatives maybe for him that was a big lesson with. whatever happens. remain simple and he

muslims cannot meet a man or. we keep looking for my brother because he's my brother a lot of people say get over it he's dead but we want the truth if you find him dead at least we'll know they killed him the least our family will have peace with you john hoeven how does either. a day after the u.s. president renewed his push for border war funding in his state of the union address many living along the frontier with mexico even more worried about the future rob reynolds reports from southern california. this is calexico it's a small town of about forty thousand people it's not very much different from the other towns in imperial county which has a stubbornly high unemployment rate of sixteen percent but what sets this town apart is this a four point five meter tall metal wall that runs parallel to the main shopping street right on the other side that is mexico kelly

a city of one million people now people in calexico civic leaders and merchants will tell you that they're almost entirely dependent upon the visitors from mexico for their economy people come here to shop to work to go to school and to work in the farms and fields of imperial county so when president trump talks about declaring a state of emergency shutting down the order entirely that really strikes fear into the hearts of many people in this community now what will the president do next it's really unknown he called for compromise in his state of the union speech he seems determined to build the wall but the democratic party seems equally determined to prevent him from doing so by not allocating any money could he declare a state of emergency could he even initiate another government shutdown all of these are good questions but the president has proved himself to be unpredictable

in the past and there are at the moment no good answers for firefighters in the u.s. state of california spend more than two hours tackling a major blaze after a gas explosion in san francisco the fire is now extinguished but it's still it's a gas line was cut junius to lation a fiber optic wise. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing growing pressure in the run up to parliamentary elections yes to get his favorite candidates on his and a could party list before the primaries he's also battling for his public image over corruption cases are a force that has more from west jerusalem to google me do. the real benjamin netanyahu toes the media magnate i just want real coverage of the israeli prime minister's public battle with the media he says a peddling fake news and cheerleading a witch hunt has led here to the launch of likud t.v. a campaign tool of his political party dressed up as

a news channel nine yos relationship with the media is at the heart of two of the three corruption cases dogging his election campaign allegations he traded illicit favors for better coverage a third surrounds expensive gifts from wealthy friends he denies the charges but an indictment decision is expected this month we're going to blockbuster decision from the attorney general is going to going to be announcement of an intention to indictments and yeah whoa that's not a final indictment which could come six to twelve months later but it basically says that's where he's going in the meantime the campaign and the primaries for netanyahu likud party are being conducted in what's become the mainstream of israeli politics the right the night before likud members cast their votes a series of senior party figures including intelligence public security and culture ministers all signed onto a charter promoting a radical expansion of illegal settlements it calls for the adoption of a plan to settle two million jews in the occupied west bank signing up to it cements a politician's right wing credentials it also allows the party to define itself

more clearly against a new arrival on the political scene and while it could voters benjamin netanyahu is legal troubles have done little to diminish either his power or his popularity there is though a substantial anti netanyahu constituency among jewish israelis and fears they've been looking for a viable alternative to invest their hopes. and israel's former army chief benny gantz looking to occupy the role of centrist he's talked of strengthening settlements but also says lessons should be learned from the way israel removed settlers from gaza in the face of being called. a campaign video claiming credit for the killing of one thousand three hundred sixty four palestinians calling them terrorists in the. in order for him to get really the votes you know to really challenge it and you know he's got to get some of those votes from the right so he comes as a leftist dressed in rightists clothing ok as

a liberal israeli dressed as a conservative hardcore pro settlement israeli guns is pulling just behind you know who is preferred prime minister but his path to victory is narrow given the numerical advantage of netanyahu existing coalition of right wing parties netanyahu continues to fight on multiple fronts knowing that even if he wins power once more in this election you have to battle on in the media and potentially in the courts to hold onto it are a force it just zero west jerusalem. and the european council president has condemned british politicians who pushed for the u.k. to leave the e.u. without working out how to do it first speaking in brussels where he also pledged to do his best to find a solution to the brakes crisis brennan listen into those comments from belfast where the u.k. prime minister has been meeting molinari linsley does. that the second i have spoken about the necessary actions in case of the. i know that you will also be

discussing this submarine with the european commission. by the way and i've been wondering what that special place. in her looks like for those who promoted it without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it safely that it was in century comments have quite predictably caused a reaction certainly from supporting m.p.'s and journalists in london but let's just have a little look at a video clip as they stood up to leave you can just about hear an exchange between me over i guess and donald tusk where they almost anticipate the reaction that's coming let's have a look at this. right now. now let's bring it back to where i'm standing in belfast which is where the prime minister has been she's going to brussels on thursday but the purpose of her visit

here is a try to work out exactly what the parties will accept and it seems a very confused picture is emerging shin fein the republican party which has seven seats in the westminster parliament but doesn't actually sit and vote in london refuses to do so it has accused to recently of bad faith for trying to reopen the withdrawal agreement and change the backstop arrangement however the d u p which does sit in london and upon which to resubmit relies for her parliamentary majority has insisted that to tinker or try to reform the backstop but leave it in place is not enough they want the backstop totally replaced they're not happy with it being in the ritual agreements at all. a group of british anti deportation campaigners who chain themselves to a plane to stop it taking off have escaped prison sentences so-called stanstead fist fifteen broke through a fence trying to reach the jet taking people to nigeria ghana and sierra leone

largely reports from the court in chelmsford in england. emerging from court the relief on their faces was obvious the case had time go over them for two years and they'd been charged with offenses technically carrying a life term in prison but there was still an outrage that it's rather come to this the fight is one you know a lot more for us to continue fighting for and until there's been a. fireman and to deportation and detention centers then look it will file here in the light was just it was a small window into a mob suspect a systemic problem we know for all of the asylum claims the home office refuses to stay right for tantalum pale and what the government does at the time that we stopped the fight there was a policy of the first of. the fifteen activists to plant themselves through a plane at stansted airport near london in the knowledge that some of the people on

board would face death threats if they were deported some of those people have since been granted the right to stay in britain this woman had already told us they saved her life why do you want to put me i came to this contre because i was really abused have been me. if i wasn't in this country i probably wouldn't be here sitting history recalled the actions of people who put themselves in harm's way for human rights as heroes think of emily davison who threw herself to her death under the king's horse for women's rights or the lone protester in tiananmen square facing down the chinese tanks but trying to stop illegal deportations in the u.k. nowadays is not viewed in the same way. very familiar with this kind of excessive charge often terrorism related charges being brought against nonviolent human rights defenders but haven't seen it in the very long time and that's one of the reasons why we're watching this case so closely so all i want to

do is stop it isn't only the u.k. criminalizing anti deportation activists this woman is currently being prosecuted in sweden for refusing to take a seat on the plane to stop an afghan on board from being deported but the u.k.'s much broader so-called hostile environment shows no sign of ending the deportation fight still go on with all the questions about human rights abuses there's a certain sort of air of victory here which is peculiar since all that's happened is that a group of people have escaped going to prison for trying to stop the illegal deportations of asylum seekers but they still have a terrorism conviction to their names and this is one of the now say that it means to try to. al-jazeera a challenge for the crown calls. this is just you know that's going to round up the top stories the u.s.
