i think. so it's not just a movement where there and confronting a lot of hostility they're actually getting support and encouragement and warmth really from politicians. i think we lead by example and i know i do and so by saying let's do this signing on in committing we hope that others will follow our lead it's impressive to see these young people having genuine success in the halls of power having meetings like this is really fractured because it shows that we do it all is out there that we can be working within the system to change that we want to see the world and this job if you look at. the sunrise movement is clearly influential and it's getting results where it matters most. their ultimate goal is to convince the majority of congressmen and women to sponsor the green new deal. so when the next government is elected in 2020 the bill has the weight of support to make it policy this summer is movement is asking for

a lot and they're asking for it quickly critics say they're too idealistic but for a problem as massive as climate change we do need ambitious radical solutions now. today's environmentalists cite risings of the past as proof that incredible social change really is possible. in 1000 eyestrain britain the suffragettes campaign for women to have the right to vote with a rallying cry of deeds not words they often resort to extreme acts. at some racecourse family davidson even gave her life for the course. these tactics worked in 1020 eight's women won equal voting rights in britain 35 years later in america the civil rights movement to end racial segregation martin luther king led the peaceful protests. farmer. had

a weapon available over nicole and the freedom and human dignity. by 968 after a decade of campaigning african-american secured legal rights to equal employment voting and housing. by analyzing possible resistance movements political scientist . identified a threshold for success if 3 and a half percent of the population mobilize against the establishment social change will happen. force many of us need to look to change the way we treat all and there is one group which is taking things to the next level. in october 28th and the group of activists i get by political inaction on climate change declared themselves to be an open defiance of the take government they call themselves extinction rebellion

x. off the shore and doing the right man i really think management in place like they work outside the system engaging in bold nonviolent acts of civil disobedience is best strategy is to create headline grabbing protests designed to maximize public exposure they believe this will gain them a mass following and force real change in just 6 months they have already expanded into 15 countries spread across 4 continents. i'm at the london headquarters on the day of one of their most extreme actions yet . in a protest they are calling blood of all children exoplanet still 500 liters of fake blood on downing street the office and the president of the british prime minister my cat i live in israel i see me one of exxon's co-founders is.

way to the idea of the plot of our children. we've already suffering a genocide because of. the impacts of pollution so we're trying with this action to get people to understand that it's that it kills people and that it kills people now it's already killing people it's not like something ahead in the future. and. that's my job. as we make our way to downing street i want to know why they're compelled to confront the political establishment in such a drastic way. we think it's important that our actions directed at government because this only i think a state led internationally that's going to make a meaningful change to the situation when so we're trying to represent the kind of visceral reality of death and suffering which climate change has already started to cause around the world in which it will force in the future. the procession is

designed to feel like a funeral march it comes to a stop and the crowd for silent relief. this is the moment of mourning children of children and young people here today. making a profound statement just a stone's throw from the prime minister's office to. lose we need to take action we don't have much time the. please don't let this be the guy that. i'm struck by the rule emotion on display what is the political change the extinction rebellion want to see. what do you want to achieve by all of this we do have 3 main demands the 1st one is there for the government to tell the truth to communicate. the crisis to the public the 2nd demand is to reduce carbon emissions

to net 0 by 2025 and then the 3rd demand which i think is the main prize is to achieve structural political change in the form of a citizens' assembly ordinary people who are educated on the facts and then come together to talk about what might be the best route forward do you think it's achievable. i think it's necessary. x. are want to become impossible to ignore so its members are planning the biggest protest yet they hope to bring london to a standstill with a 2 week human blockade of the city's streets at x. hours h t m e c one of the chief coordinators of the shutdown maxie what we're doing with the rebellion is having a cause in the level of disruption that could bring about you know the government to me are demands do you think that you are risk of almost alienating yourself by

crossing over into a legal category look there's a common crisis there's an ecological crisis we're here to stop this it's existence true threat we face we non-buoyant the maintaining respect but putting ourselves on the lines with our liberty the plan is to block the streets of the u.k. scrap to the people chain not and even glue themselves to structures and to one another these actions are deliberately planned to create maximum disruption and cause arrests just trains members on how to deal with the police in a nonviolent way can only have a activist he is willing to be at rest it carried off that these men are you willing to go that we're not an easy members are trained to go limp as soon as they're touched all right let's take a we're going to we're going to arrest. some of the. take as many as 5 police

officers to remove a single activist by maximizing the number of arrests exile believe they can create publicist and a groundswell of support. for extinction balance the only way forward this is the only way they believe things are going to preserve civil disobedience and these kinds of actions. 15th of april 2019 and it's the morning of the london shutdown the organizers are expecting thousands of protesters they plan to block london to main streets and bridges for 2 weeks bringing the city to a grinding halt by meeting claire as she prepares for what could be the biggest demonstration in x. hours history. thank you. a feeling hopeful i'm feeling hopeful that we're going to have more input and more people are going to understand the message and the and the seriousness of it the reason why we have to do this is because it is this band we

do feel this afraid of don't know what else to. extinction rebellions target is the government but the people who will be hit hardest today are the everyday commuters as they try to get to work. there's potential then that all of this could be disrupted people might be able to get to where they're going to have the actions taken away now is that justifies their biggest story we don't really want to do this but we also don't want to pass on. a level palette to the next generation. we arrive at oxford circus at 8 30 am and only a handful of activists are here or. we quickly get a taste of where public favor bikes like. look. i'm not quite sure how the group. succeed in blocking the very heart of london was the plot

here because at the moment the raid isn't occupiers there's nothing on it so what's going to happen in groups of people are going to close their eyes and then something should be arriving in the way of living out of the blue reinforcements right. it's something i didn't expect. so this isn't a bite you village people hope but it's just in the middle of the. hundreds of activists crowded around the boat on the london shutdown has become. and. in a matter of hours 10000 supporters descend upon 5 sites across the capital oxford circus parliament square marble arch piccadilly circus and washington bridge manned by not

seen his team. they have blocked the entire stretch of road and into trees a music stage counts and a human being and place and the. feeling that i managed to find nothing who started snakeheads police activity so yeah i'm just watching them go boy. what's been happening oh we're just going to monitor in the place as numbers have increased slightly and that's some point they're going to be under pressure to clear the bridge i mean what we've got to try and do is get numbers to build the question is how much disruption will the government force us to create until they do the right thing and meet the demands and stop trying to keep the sites i know willing to lose their liberty for it and get arrested if people are willing to sacrifice their liberty it sends a message to the public to the media and to the good of the politicians that this is a serious issue house where demonstrations are escalating as protesters target the not just oil and gas. company. shall just run down to

planning to bypass a congressional ban on weapon sales to saudi arabia there is concern that u.s. secretary of state mike pompei and other senior aides want the president to be able to act without the approval of congress alan fisher has more from washington d.c. . or normally under u.s. law congress is given 30 days notice before any foreign arms sales and then they can see year or nay it another appears that donald trump is going to subvert the process by using a loophole in the law and declaring the sales to saudi arabia a national emergency in this he's being pushed by secretary of state might pompey or in that case the sails will go ahead no matter what and all donald trump has to do is provide congress with a letter of explanation of why he's the clear the specific seal a national emergency no there's going to be opposition to this if there is a gap between donald trump and republicans on capitol hill it certainly comes over

the issue of sodium arabia you'll remember that earlier this year a bipartisan move in both the house of representatives and the senate to limit american support for the saudi led war in yemen was passed and was only defeated when donald trump issued a very rare veto now the republican senators like lindsey graham big supporter of donald trump who says he doesn't want to see any arms sales to saudi arabia until the address the issue of crime prince mohammed bin salman who he says is responsible not just for the war in yemen but also for the model of journalist jamal khashoggi there are republican senators like marco rubio who says he wants to see any details before he would be comfortable with selling weapons to saudi arabia and there certainly are many many democrats in both the house and the senate who are very very anxious at the u.s. getting involved in arms sales to saudi arabia no this is happened before but

you've got to go back to the 1980 s. when a president declared a national emergency to force through arms sales in this way the president then was ronald reagan the issue was the perceived threat of iran and the weapons sales while that was to saudi arabia. in libya warplanes have bombed the offices of a breakaway faction of one of the country's 2 competing governments no one was hurt in the attack the building is used by members of the brook based house of representatives who moved to tripoli soon after the warlord khalifa haftar began his attack on the capital in april the united nations backs the tripoli based government the wiki leaks founder julian assange just facing new charges in the u.s. bringing the total to $18.20 the website published thousands of secret diplomatic cables from the state department swedish prosecutors are currently trying to extradite assange is from the u.k. to face a rape charge all those other headlines and next stop is al-jazeera world. worried

people were once a nomadic tribe and used to bring their animals to the pasture lands of what's now lebanon for decades if not centuries. today's tribe members are descended

from bad women who roamed the arab peninsula and the levant for hundreds of years but now their nomadic life is over. they began settling in lebanon in the 1920 s. and continued through the fifty's and sixty's. the establishment of modern nation states with defined borders and a series of droughts gradually forced them to give up herding and their traditional way of life. political system is based on a sectarian power sharing agreement. politicians opposed to changing nationality laws say it would affect the demographic balance in the country. some of today's older generation were granted lebanese citizenship in 1904 but are now unable to pass this on to their children. a whole generation of the

a boy like some other groups in lebanon have become invisible citizens stateless unregistered people living a precarious existence on the margins of society. this is the story of one such group around the town of kabillion in the bekaa valley. area i don't know where you. are. and there's. just an island of a lot of it and how to push. the man out of all i mean what. i don't know the london center. a little bit in those country ondon had gone so bad about young to not a fancy without a. lady in the hall and went on and on television and what we do.
