well we were talking about genuine support genuine support yes i'm sorry so c.c. has banned opinion polling scientific opinion polling so we don't actually have a reliable way to know how popular he is but the two polls that were done in the post-coup period by zogby research associates associates and also pew showed that he was supported by about half of the egyptian population those polls were done in two thousand and thirteen it's likely that his popularity has decreased substantially master thank you very much for your time and your analysis mohamed the masti thank you. still ahead on the button no laughing matter what next for ukraine now their voices have elected a former comedian as their president and protesters and monch calling for the. political president.

hello again and welcome back to international weather forecast where we have seen some very messy weather here across parts of southwestern europe and that's all due to this area of low pressure that is spinning right here located on the northern coast of africa and now a lot of the clouds and a lot of the rain is pushing up here towards the north you can see these bands that now making their way into their beer peninsula into southern france as well as italy in those places are going to continue to see the very wet weather over the next few days actually italy is expected to get even more rain as we go towards tuesday so no looking too bad today we are seeing quite a bit of clouds across much of the area but putting that into motion as we go towards tuesday notice much heavier rain across much of the region maybe a little bit of break in the overnight hours but the rain continues be quite heavy pushing up towards the alps as well nice conditions up here towards the north london twenty one degrees here on tuesday we are going to be seeing twenty four but

clouds for paris as we go towards midweek now that same area low pressure is still bring some clouds and rain across much of northwest nafta we are going to be seeing some windy conditions as well so here for algiers it is going to be a cool day at sixteen with heavy rain possibly in the forecast but it is going to be quite warm here with winds coming out of the south tripoli expecting to see a high for thirty two degrees and began at twenty seven degrees for you. sponsored by town and. people have to wait your record on this channel in fact a few years ago there was place only for one state on the land of israel i do not believe in a two state solution the official story isn't there and i'm sure we all still are yeah i don't care about the official story if you were a little visit today you would say what has the media been counting down the world isn't black and white there's lots of grains in here join me mad the hot sun on our front of my guests from around the world take the hot seat and we debate the week's top stories and big issues here on al-jazeera.

good to have you with us on al jazeera these are our top stories because health minister says there was intelligence warning. attacks but that it wasn't shared with the prime minister police have confirmed at least two hundred ninety people have been code twenty four people have been arrested protest leaders and saddam and so they no longer recognize the role of the military in the transition saying they doubt it will hand over power to the people demonstrations of calling for an immediate move to civilian rule and egyptians are voting in a third and final day of a referendum to change the constitution proved the proposals could allow the

president to stay in power until twenty thirty results are expected on tuesday. pakistan's prime minister. for a two day visit he's expected to discuss trade and border security web iranian president hassan rouhani relations between the neighboring countries have been strained in recent months both sides accuse each other of not doing enough to crack down on groups let's go to our correspondent zain joining us live from the capital of. groups a and share a very long border is the visit with the two sides want to work through these security issues. absolutely as we speak both leaders are with their teams in closed door meetings we're expecting a press conference in the coming hours to see the outcome of their talks but you don't hear a lot about the relationship between iran and pakistan and you don't often see public displays like this so this first visit by iran khan since becoming prime

minister is certainly significant and may signal a closing of the gap in the relationship between these two neighbors now security is definitely top of the agenda they share a border sistan baluchistan on the iranian side of the border below just one province on the pakistani side of the border and it is very porous and very big as you say both sides have seen attacks on their armed forces in in the last several months both sides have lost dozens of soldiers in total in both sides blame each other for not doing enough to combat armed groups of base or hiding in pockets and in caves on either side of their of their border between system villages one province and villages on province in pakistan so certainly how to cooperate closely on security will be top of the agenda but that's not the only thing they're expected to talk about both countries are under economic strain pakistan has tens of billions of dollars in debt it has done for many years iran is under a lot of pressure of u.s.

sanctions and we're expecting more to come more pressure to come from the united states in coming days and weeks and so they're in a position to help each other pakistan has better international standing is not as isolated politically iran has a great deal of cash reserves and oil and so they are in a position to help each other both countries have had strained relationships with the united states since u.s. president donald trump took over the white house and so they both also have a motivation to help each other as a neighboring country and saying the promise salman khan's visit coming at a time where we are expecting as you said iran to come on to even more pressure from the trump white house because. we were expecting the white house to perhaps extend away the two countries buying oil from iran and we're hearing that they might not do that. yes absolutely those reports of point to a waiver to sell oil to sit for iran to sell oil to eight different countries it

was a waiver granted by the united states when it issued oil and banking sanctions on iran back in the vendor now those countries were given that waiver so that the oil market wouldn't send prices soaring because if prices at the pumps are higher that's bad for american presidents any time petrol prices go up popularity of the president in office in the united states goes down so trump is really in a position where he's trying to put pressure on iran but not on the oil markets we've spoken to the government here we reached out to the government and they said it's too soon to react and they will do so at an appropriate time but if you go back to a radio interview that the oil minister gave to local radio in march there was there was a few points that he reiterated he said that supply and demand is still an issue now keep in mind this is just last month and he said supply and demand is still a problem and as long as there is a demand iran will be able to continue selling its oil and it will continue to do so and there is some truth to what he said on this report that the united states may. not grant waivers to certain countries the oil prices did seem to go up today

and that will be good for oil profits but not for prices at the pump we also heard in that interview that the oil minister said that it will continue to sell iranian oil through back channels and we've recently in the last hour heard from china's foreign minister who have said that it opposes these unilateral u.s. sanctions and that any relationship it has economically with iran is within international law so an indication that they will continue to buy iranian oil certainly one of iran's biggest oil clients no doubt that will come as a boost to the iranian lawmakers here into her own zain thank you very much for that that is aimed with the latest live and thank you. now there have been overnight explosions around the be as cash for capital assault is a lie and the un recognized government target of the warlord holly for half the forces the heavy shelling and i insider in the cell phone tripoli has reduced buildings to rubble and cars burnt out in the streets forces from the un backed government to defending tripoli from an offensive launched by how those troops to

economic and social demands and they've been imprisoned as if they were the worst terrorists and this we cannot accept and we are demanding their release. they were joined in the streets and outside the parliament by civil society organizations and mothers. do know oppression is killing us we don't accept it we want all our children to be freed they are now on hunger strike what is the government doing. i say to the government think reasonably and find a solution for our children who were sent to various prisons that they have pity on us. along with pity for these forty two activists they want the government to release money to be used for economic development and job creation programs and chapelle. somalia now at least sixteen soldiers have been killed after an army camp was attacked in the town of gator north of the capital bamako the camp was

talks at the presidential palace but the challenge for president. is not only to find a new prime minister that will resurrect mali's government but one that will be. the opposition the ruling party and the people who are increasingly taking to the streets to get their voices heard. the opposition rejects any possibility for a unity government and is asking to step down that. he stole the election from us given the circumstances we should be running the country we are not going to take part in any government run by somebody who robbed us it is an uphill battle for kate and for the million people. with the violence spreading it seems there is no miracle solution in this search for peace some millions pay the ultimate sacrifice . while others pray for their country to rise again. because hawk al-jazeera.

the house i'm. counting the cost it's been called the trojan horse why a russian banks moved to hungary is picking up a. populist governments threatening the independence of central banks and is it the end of the runway project airways counting the cost. on up front today we'll speak with the award winning bangladeshi photo journalist and activist shot at all of on his recent imprisonment and the political climate under prime minister sina but first it's the biggest crisis of our time climate change but how do we tackle it or is it too late. climate change is ravaging our planet last year thousands of deaths were linked to

heat waves and wildfires while millions of people were impacted by floods and typhoons scientists say time is running out to save civilization as we know it so what will it take for politicians and the public to tackle what is perhaps the greatest crisis of our time and thus confronting climate change require confronting our economic system taking on capitalism or is it all too little too late joining me to discuss all this and more a panel of experts from new york james hansen the world renowned climate scientist and former director of the masses got institute for space studies from l.a. russia climate activist and co-founder of the sunrise movement that's grabbed headlines but ok upon us congressional offices and here in the studio amanda washee c.e.o. of the global n.-g. o. christian aid thank you all for joining me on up front james let me start with you you've been dealing with the science behind all of this stuff that decades how long do we have to tackle climate change before it becomes too late we hear

a lot these days about there being just twelve years to turn things around well there's no such arbitrary number we've reached the time line we should be phasing down the missions now and if we do that we can still we will get a little bit warmer than we are now and then temperature can begin to decline but that requires that we phase our fossil fuel. on the timescale of the next several decades and we're not taking the actions to do that you and your generation of millenniums say that you see the challenge of climate change as your world war two do you actually believe that result just a way of trying to get people to take it will seriously if you do believe that how do you win this new world war i mean people are dying right now and that's what we have to grapple with that the climate crisis is already upon us there are three thousand americans that have perished in the last year because of hurricane maria we have seen wildfires absolutely raise entire cities to the ground in

a matter of minutes parts of our coastline are losing more than a football field of land a minute so the climate crisis is upon us and that is just with one degree of warming that we have seen so far and scientists are telling us that if we don't stop it at one point five or two degrees we are going to reach a tipping point a point of no return so right now we're we're saying to ourselves as young people like what is the world that we're going to have to live in in a few decades if we don't do something right now amanda you're the c.e.o. of a global development and a lot of this conversation happening here in the west is about the west what impact is climate change having already on the ground across the rest of the world especially the developing world in places like sub-saharan africa what is climate change look like to the poor who having to live through that well let me paint a picture for you and i think you're right to see that the conversations are

happening here in the west but actually the impact of climate change is already being felt by communities in sub-saharan africa and other parts of asia i was in ethiopia recently i was in south or more which is on the border with south sudan in a place called one of the women there say to me amanda it's getting hotter and hotter and do what i get to do. and closer to each other our crops. our lifestyle is dying and we need to find other ways of survival in terms of income sources that's the relieved experience and impact of climate change and you know where the tragedy is the tragedy is that these communities are the ones that have contributed their lists to climate change as we know it they haven't benefited at all from. the use and abuse and exploitation of. the fuels ok james hansen you were there in front of congress in one nine hundred eighty eight

you know sounding the alarm bell calling faction pointing out what the science was saying did you think that you know all these decades later we'd still be having these conversations and do you recognize that the reason we're having these conversations is a lot to do with the economic impact that fighting climate change will require the economic change that it will require the resistance to that change well you know the problem is caused by carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels so what we have to do is raise the price of these fossil fuels but we have to do it in a way that the public is able to deal with the increasing price of fossil fuels and make the changes needed to move to other sources of energy and then the economy can work for us but so far the fossil fuel industry has been able to lobby the government and keep us that's what has to change version in terms of what has to be

done your a prominent advocate of what's been called the green new deal this ultra ambitious ten year mobilization plan to get the us to zero emissions zero greenhouse gas emissions and also create millions of new green jobs in the process a lot of people say that's just not realistic you're not going to get the american public on board for that. i don't think that that's true and i think what the green new deal is. it is actually exactly all the things that you mentioned getting off of fossil fuels of stopping the climate crisis but tying that to the creation of tens of millions of good paying jobs have actually boosting and vitalizing our economy in this process of supper climate change as well and we're going to join let me bring in amanda than jones altogether mandarin james respond green new deal your larry. i think we definitely need some kind of marshall plan. for fighting climate climate crisis it is an emergency and what where i like

this conversation is that science is giving us new information about the fact that the economic model that we're on is the wrong model because it is fossil fuel driven and so for me i don't think that is just a question of tinkering with the current economic model we actually have to look at alternatives and i don't believe that we don't have the know how and the knowledge as you say we can't tackle climate change as we tackle capitalism that's what i'm saying the whole process of economic development and how the west developed was an economic foundation that is actually hardwired to serve fuel at the explanation and expense of the planet and people and unfortunately the technology and some of the knowledge is sitting in the west and it's about power and it's about wealth and unless we see such a time when the west itself is being one heavily impacted on by climate change i

think that we're still going to see is slow movement this shift to green. defined that is nonsense we need a real deal which understands how economics works and what we need to do in order to move fossil fuels and that requires in addition to this rising. arbonne fee with the distribution to the public we also have to have the technologies we have to help the developing countries the western world burned the carbon budget for the whole world now we've got a problem and we're going to have to help those countries that want to raise their standards of living to match ours and so there it's a big problem but it's a solvable problem you and james out of the both agree on the scale of the challenge but he thinks real solution is levinson's. dad well i would say

that i don't think that simply putting a price on carbon is going to be enough in this moment i think if it were thirty years ago that might have been enough and even after the most recent i.p.c.c. report the u.n. climate report that came out last fall said that we need to make unprecedented changes to every part of our economy and our society to stop this crisis so i don't think that that's going to be enough i think we need to also however we need now and adding it to consider james that amount that. you know it's not enough but it's the underlying policy that's required to make the price of fossil fuels honest otherwise people will keep burning them the same way that we did in the west because people use their energy they're going to raise your standard of living they need energy and we need to make the price of fossil fuels include their cost to society that's the underlying requirement but there is you acknowledge a development also and i just quickly touch because james talked about much but you

know the developing world wants to much the development of the west there just under a billion people without electricity without access to electricity in the world. and this is not something that you know is going to happen overnight just by being bit by bit different diversity from fossil fuels i think we have to do more than just a day's rest a little bit i think we have to stop we actually have to stop because the emergency is people are dying on a daily basis i can't overemphasize that enough let me ask you this question in your travels especially for places like africa do you see an alliance of government or leaders that can work to tackle this problem even if the white house is currently filled with a person who doesn't want to take this seriously of pulling the u.s. out of paris who. for the chinese hoax even without road block that is the us

president there are enough governments with the willpower of our political to actually take this seriously and get action done even if they have to go around the united states well you know common goal climate change is not going to come and go unless we do something about it i think that if you look for example at the african development bank what they have done is they've got to start to g. and they've raised their ambition in terms of targets or voice of looking at clean energy sustainable clean energy and looking at greed you know many greens to reach the communities in africa so in terms of an alliance i think there are enough people there's enough momentum that we're having but can i just say that we need a bigger groundswell. of community is yes of the private sector so james you've been campaigning on this issue for a long time people now take it will seriously when you look at the current president of the united states how much damage is he doing to your cause to your

argument to spreading the the scientific facts and figures what role is he playing in undermining all of this. well you know it's now he's made it easier for us to file our lawsuits we have lawsuits against trump and beginning to have them against the fossil fuel industry and he's just made it much clearer so i think the case in court is now ironclad so i expect to see some wins in the very near future and let me end with the last word you're twenty five years old i believe this is only going to get more serious over the course of your lifetime how does your generation in particular avoid paralysis on this avoid the prospect that it's all doom and gloom where we're finished there's nothing we can do we want of or just give up yeah well i would say the only answer to grief and despair is action and bringing young people into the political process to make our voice.
