climate changes sacha and professor emeritus at the australian national university and he joins us now from canberra so will wait here in the face soaring temperatures in europe and now the new normal and when people think about climate change many think about global warming and it getting hotter but it's not just about he says that it's also about extreme weather strongest storms and the lack of predictability that's right it's extreme weather all types of course extreme heat is now occurring right around the world not just in europe where we're going to extreme didn't miss julia there's an extreme we can well as americans don't know or also see more intense rainfall but we're also seeing more intense tropical cyclones which are better in courts of nation and so on so basically we're so you know got a closed system that's on steroids now because of the greenhouse gas emissions he's been pumping into the that was. the bit of part of the century what do you say a climate system on steroids all these events presumably build off each other and and various scientists have been warning about runaway climate change talk us

through what that is and how how frightened we should be of the threat of that. well there is definitely a threat of runaway climate change and the more technical way on a scientific way of looking at it is there are what we call 3 x. was in your system that have their own dynamic for example that's the climate continues to warm ice is melting at an increasing rate up in the arctic ocean when that melts that actually uncovers much darker water and that reflects less sunlight and zones more sunlight and that intensifies the warming and there are a number of these so-called tipping elements around the earth system whether it's august whether it's all of the the ecosystems like the amazon forest the point being that once we humans push the climate past a critical point it will have its hold on them it will keep getting warmer even if we get emissions to 0 so we do face some real risk here that we could see much more intense climate change that we could not control and in terms of the effect of that

the impacts that we experience it's not just necessarily about weather events that also population results patents i mean carried out to 0 if in reporting for days now about ongoing conflict between father hasn't had as an ascent from mali for instance so in terms of food security and water passons yes that's right and we can already see some of these patterns emerging for example in or perhaps best at least really in the southeast we've had a long term growing trend linked to climate change the northeast china breadbaskets a real worry because that's been drying up and of course the mediterranean is also seen a long term growing trend and that played a role for example syrian conflict so we're already seeing patterns the merchant of the places where we food now are actually drying out where they're becoming harder well both but so indeed there are real food security issues right around the corner well in paris countries finally agreed to try to limit by warming to 1.5 degrees

and that too if possible how realistic is that now is it now just a. 1.41 is really really difficult because the missions have still been rising and globally that c o 2 concentrations been rising well i think 2 degrees we still have a shot at that but it requires that we move very fast and 30 missions very good we can't continue with this low business as usual approach we actually have to do as some countries do clerical it emergency and react to this emergency by who will want to wartime 40 but to change our economies and energy systems or transport systems in a decade or 2 that's what's really required one reason there is to retarget and am i saying some of those impacts already began now thank you for that both stephan from the australian national university my pleasure thank you well on top of the news now and after more than 2 weeks stranded at sea a german humanitarian ship carrying rescued migrants has docked and italy in

defiance of the government's the captain of the sea watch 3 was detained after she forced a way into port by dodging police by its she says the lack of help from italian officials and western conditions on board had forced her hand 40 migrants rescued off the coast of libya believed to be still on board the vessel finland france germany luxembourg and portugal have agreed to host them. well there's plenty more ahead for you on this news hour including u.s. officials are reported to believe a recent attack on a saudi oil pipeline was launched from iraq and not yemen. the world's largest migration crisis in the making warnings about the situation in venezuela. and some red faces on the f one track the action from a rather eventful practice session in austria.

now forces loyal to libyan war i'd prefer have to have threatened to target flights and ships coming from turkey the spokesman if i have to as forces also said turkish nationals in libya will be arrested this week fighters loyal to the un recognized government recaptured a strategic town from have to his forces which have been trying to seize the capital for 3 months the warlord accuses turkey of supplying weapons to forces allied to the tripoli government. libyan territory has been subjected to a brutal turkish invasion that resulted in arcs of subversion within libyan territory therefore the general command of the libyan arab armed forces has issued orders to the airports to target vessels and boat inside libyan territorial waters what it also orders have been issued to the ground forces to target all turkish strategic objectives turkish companies and projects that belong the turkish state are legitimate targets of the armed forces in response to this aggression all flights to and from turkey are also stopped and any turkish nationals on libyan

territory will be arrested while it speak to william laurance he is a professor at the george washington university's school of international affairs and he joins us now from washington d.c. good to have you with us. please explain to me just how involved is techie in this conflict because there's been talk of ankara supplying weapons to fight against have to us forces doesn't go beyond that. it's primarily weapons there's other support from turkey but the important thing to point out is prior to have to attack on tripoli in april the turkish support was very minimal so this is all been in response to have to attack in april which was supported with a lot of us weapons drones chinese made drones weapons from raytheon rocket propelled grenades there is a manpads there's a lot of u.a.e. weapons coming in and in response to that turkey upgraded its assistance to the un recognized government in the west starting in april and those of the that's the

support that have tourist targeting now that's very important where he said the targeting will be going on because nato turkey is a member of nato and if there's any attacks on the open sea off the libyan coast. turkey could invoke article 5 and we would have a nato crisis so they're only talking about targeting turkish interests in libyan territory now that begs another question governments can take such actions legitimate governments but have to are is an internationally recognized and so even taking actions on libyan territory is is problematic in terms of international law and when one triggered this latest decoration from have to us forces because they appeared to be rich racing is this a way for them to show defiance. absolutely i was in 3 hours of meetings today on libya here in washington with some of the top experts and what we decided

at the meeting was that following the lawsuit that he and the advance on top who were and the advances on the south that the western governments are making have to was likely to do something spectacular we were predicting within a month we didn't know that it would be within a day but have to or is trying to shore up his support in the west of libya maintain his support in the east of libya demonstrate to his international backers you egypt to a lesser degree russia and now france is sort of defected from supporting him but did to demonstrate to his backers that he has some some leverage and some momentum he's lost a lot of momentum in the last week and so it'll be a very interesting going forward what gains have to will make and whether he will actually start attacking turkish interests actively or whether this is just an announcement in the past we've seen sometimes have to makes announcements and takes no actions and sometimes he does and that's a little bit what's unpredictable right now when i want to ask you more about that

because he specifically threatened to target flights and ships coming from taki what's the actual capability of his forces to make good on a threat like that. well he's been kind of losing lately he had a bunch of drones that were hit from from the sky by. western planes including there was an american mercenary involved that recently got returned to the us but and there's intelligence apparently going to help attack some of his armaments coming from the east and so he hasn't been as successful in the air as he seemed at the beginning of the of this campaign in april and his navies not that powerful either so. again it remains to be seen going forward what's going to happen he's put into his put turkey on notice without having a lot of ability to attack turkey at this point but again have to will make these

declarations and sometimes the action will be 6 months or a year later before he actually gets the weapons you need to do to take the actions that that he's announcing what he i mean aren't there professor at the george washington university it's going to bench national affairs thank you for your expertise on outta there. well european powers haven't done enough to help iran avoid crippling u.s. sanctions that's the view of iran's deputy foreign minister after hours of talks in vienna on the 2015 it the meeting was billed as the last chance to try to save the agreement paul brennan reports. in 2015 the negotiating teams came to the lavish public coburg in vienna to sign and seal the. nuclear deal 4 years later they're here trying to save it britain china france germany and russia have announced that in sticks is now operational a complex barter type system to let european countries trade with iran while avoiding u.s. sanctions tehran has set

a july 7th deadline that's when its threatened to begin and rich in uranium close to weapons grade purity if its oil exports are to resume or i believe that it was. positive and constructive meeting. i can say want to step forward compared to the previous meetings we have but it is a still not enough and it is it is still nothing you don't see expectations china are the biggest buyer of iranian oil has also hit out at the united states for its unilateral action we reject the unilateral imposition of sanctions and for us the energy security is important and the importation of all is important to the chinese security energy security and also to the livelihood of the people president trump took the united states out of the j. c.p.o. a deal last year and is pressurising the european signatories to do the same at the

same time the u.s. is demanding that iran must abide by the deal of limited stockpile of enriched uranium previously iran exported excess uranium to stay within the limits of the sanctions now prevent that the u.s. special envoy on iran is touring european. capitals to muster support for president trump stance on friday he was in london we are trying to restore deterrence to reestablish deterrence against iran. we are also putting ourselves in a position where if we are attacked by iran we can respond with military force but that is only if but on the nuclear deal european countries are sticking with iran calling the agreement a major contribution to stability in the region can the in stix trading system deliver enough economic benefits to keep iran from abandoning the treaty perhaps not but it's been described as the last chance paul brennan al-jazeera well earlier we spoke to mark fitzpatrick he's the director of the nonproliferation program at

the international institute for strategic studies and he says iran isn't using patients but the remaining signatories of the 2050. it's hard to judge exactly what iran will do i think that they probably will go ahead and exceed some of the limits of the deal because europeans have been talking about this inspects mechanism for months and months now it's taken so long to operationalize to actually facilitate any trade that i think the iranians have lost patience and yes i think they will be starting to break out of the limits imposed by that 2015 deal i think what do you ron is going to do initially will not be so major they're going to exceed by a little bit this cap on how much low enriched uranium it it's it's a reversible step so if the europeans can actually provide for some trade then iran could step back europeans will have to respond in some way to even

a little bit of an excess but it won't be or it won't be major sanctions that day will come on july 7th when if iran follows through with its threat to increase the enrichment level to near weapons usable uranium that would that would be a bigger problem for the europeans and they would have to impose bigger sanctions than. now the u.s. government believes last month's train attacks against pipelines in saudi arabia will launch from iraq rather than yemen that's according to the wall street journal it says u.s. officials looking into the incident blame and rein in fact groups operating in the father iraq until now yemen's the rebels were thought to be behind the attacks the iraqi government is demanding more information john hendren has the latest from washington d.c. . the united states says that drone attacks on the saudi oil industry came from iraq is originally thought from who's the rebels in yemen these are attacks that

happened in may and the iraqi prime minister abdul mahdi denies that that is the case he says regardless of the u.s. reports our intelligence agencies and the reports of the iraqi air force command have confirmed that none of this has happened and he's asked for more evidence meanwhile might pompei o the u.s. secretary of state is urging iraq not to allow its soil to be used for attacks on the saudis so it's a he said she said story at this point but it increases the narrative between the u.s. and iran the u.s. being an ally of saudi arabia that this is an escalating conflict and president trump has spoken both harshly about the potential for a mill military conflict and also smore softly urging some kind of reproach or moment between the 2 countries but right now it's a he said she said story as to who actually attacked the saudi oil industry still

well as into chengdu but then on sunday the big band starts to make its way towards the south and also make its way over here towards the east but for hong kong it is going to be a day of $34.00 degrees but the relative humidity is going to make it feel more like $3536.00 degrees there where across the philippines heavy rain expected particularly here in parts of luzon we do expect to see localized flooding in the area and for manila that means it is going to be mostly cloudy mostly rain if you as we go through the rest of the weekend temps are barely coming up above 29 degrees there or here towards bangkok you will also be seeing some very heavy rain for northern parts of thailand as well and that also includes men are across india though for the north it remains dry even though the monsoon is pushing in we are seeing temperatures here into the high thirty's and even the low forty's with new delhi at 43 in kolkata at 35. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. the pages of this exercise book unspeakable memory

a reminder of our top stories this hour u.s. president donald trump has extended an invitation to north korean leader kim jong un suggested they meet at the border when he visits south korea after the g. 20 summit concludes. forces loyal to libyan warlord khalifa haftar threaten to target flights and ships coming from turkey turkey supports the un recognized government based in tripoli whose forces have been fighting have tiles for almost 3 months. and iran says european powers haven't done enough to help us avoid. crippling u.s. sanctions tehran's deputy foreign minister made the comments after meeting with the signatories of the 2015 u.k. deal and vienna the gathering was billed as the last chance to save the agreements

. back now to our top story and u.s. president ronald trump met with saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound on the sidelines of the g. 20 in japan just a few days ago a un investigation said saudi arabia was to blame for the killing of janice jamal khashoggi and called for an international investigation bob they ignored questions about the jonathan they were full of praise for each of. you mr president we did a lot of great achievement in the political side security side. military side and economical side specially be enough of them before so i believe that will contribute to a lot both concrete good for g.d.p. growth job creation are more safety for both countries so we hope to do more for 5 years in terms of opening up saudi arabia and i think especially what you've done for women i'm seeing what's happening it's like a revolution in a very positive way and i want to just thank you we have

a lot of people already arabia is a big purchaser of american products and especially of america military equipment we make the best in the world by for and we appreciate that they do they create at least a 1000000 jobs are created by the purchases made by saudi arabia and our correspondent joins us live now from osaka has been watching that breakfast meeting take place jamal this is the 1st substantive meeting for the 2 men since i guess colum out released a report and it looks like the 2 men are as friendly as ever. indeed president trump saying it was an honor to sits with the saudi crown prince the very person who not only the united nations special representative who was investigating the murder of dramatic fashion she implicated in the murder of that journalist but also the u.s. his own intelligence has pointed the finger squarely at the crown prince and his

inner circle but this isn't something that wasn't expected necessity this is the u.s. president who has said time and again that's as far as he's concerned business trumps anything else and as far as he's concerned billions of dollars coming from the saudis is enough to wash away or at least to make him turn a blind eye not only on the death and murder of actual shia but also the deaths of thousands of children and civilians in yemen which the saudis have been responsible for a war that is going on there for several years as far as the saudi crown prince is concerned obviously it is an opportunity for him to show that he is sent to stage an international diplomacy his huge and so on so roger that has traveled with him as well as online and this is how the media and those close to riyadh have made a point of showing that the saudi crown prince is not only at the g. 20 but in comparison to how he was in argentina where was at least seen to be more

of a shunned towards him and he was kind of excluded at least in the public sphere this time it is very different but what's very important to mention here is that this by the fact that trump chose not to mention special sheen that those public remarks he was asked on 3 occasions by journalists about the case of this mean saudi journalist all of those instances the u.s. president chose to ignore completely the questions choosing to talk about other things entirely which is maybe also a sign that he wishes that that topic would go away but obviously as far as. the international court of kind of international opinion as well as those who are speaking on says namely war did the murder and where the body of the month which she is it seems unlikely that despite time going on the issue will die down and age i'm out of child and joining us live from my soccer thank you jim. now the crisis in venezuela has dominated the latest meeting of the organization of american

states a new report says it could become the largest migrant crisis in the wilds by the end of 2020. yes he has more from the colombian city of many. immigration crisis on the u.s. mexican border hundreds of thousands fleeing poverty in central america deadlier peoples in nicaragua known. as you're going to station american sits annual assembly got underway in the in the west no shortage of urgent problems to deal with. the 3rd attorney for nations represented here there was one issue overshadowing them all the ongoing political and economic crisis in business well in the fate of millions of its desperate migrants integrity of public official the secretary general of the organization promised to continue pushing for president nicolas maduro to step down. we must continue to work on applying increasing pressure and this meeting is part of that increasing pressure. but

a number of countries protested the decision by the oas to receive representatives of the political opposition after the government of nicolas maduro withdrew from the group earlier this year was a good way took it a step forward abandoning the general assembly altogether. but i thought he rushed in the prepared to a phase and over the last couple of years we've seen an internal dynamic taking place in a way that we can't embrace that undermines erode to us institutionally the simmering divisions in the region on how to move forward venezuela have now clearly come to the surface and they're showing after months of protests crippling american sanctions and then attempt and an uprising in venezuela that have failed to provoke rigi change in the country it was not what all members do agree on is the magnitude of the crisis a report presented here says that when this will end. exodus could reach 8000000 people by next year making it the largest in the world even surpassing the 6700000

people who have fled serious conflict or u.s. representatives appealed to the international community for more support. stream we worried because so far we've only been able to raise just 21 percent of the one required by the united nations response plan which was presented at the beginning of the year funding legs far behind what's needed. is maintaining his grip on power the oas is saying the time has come to end all restrictions on the movement of venezuelans forced to flee in the region recognizing them formally as refugees something so far receiving countries have avoided doing listen to. the philippines lies in an area prone to violent earthquakes and the series of launch tremors left a trail of destruction last month with hundreds of people killed and many more displaced now the government is trying to prepare its citizens to survive the most

powerful earthquakes in the future general allen going to has more from the capital manila. the philippine red cross shows us the different kind of emergency response needed when a major earthquake strikes it's a 3 stage process extrication ambulance operations and 1st aid the philippine government says it is preparing for what it calls the big one a quake of magnitude 7.2 or above. an earthquake like that would devastate not just the greater metropolis of manila but the many provincial regions surrounding it the philippines has experienced regular earthquakes the last few months it's a big worry for the people who live here and there the big one is very frightening actually how ready are we the government is doing their share. our fav office knowing their share we are doing the hazard maps we are educating the public. this

is a simulator meant to show people what to expect when the big earthquake strikes. that . the philippines is one of the top 10 countries in the world most vulnerable to natural disasters it is also within the pacific ring of fire an area prone to violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions the earthquake in the hall in 2013 devastated not just the province but the many other areas in the region more than 200 people were killed and millions more where this place is. the west valley fault line has been identified as a major hazard area by the government it covers more than 100 kilometers it cuts through them and the limit choppa less and extends into provinces further north and

the biggest concern millions of filipinos live on and around these fault lines. are the modeling of course we are afraid we feel in trouble but we have nowhere to go so we'll just persevere hello. now the government says it is trying to include the disaster preparedness and emergency response in school curriculums helping to equip families to better respond to disasters similar to the ones that have devastated the country in the past jim duggan al-jazeera manila. tens of thousands of protesters have gathered in yemen's capital sana against the u.s. economic plan for palestinians that was proposed in bahrain this week they gathered in solidarity with palestinians who rejected the $50000000000.00 financial proposal saying a political solution must come 1st mexican president under us manual lopez obrador has announced

a plan to provide $40000.00 jobs to migrants as they wait for their u.s. asylum cases to be decided factories in northern mexico have been struggling with labor shortages lopez obrador has doubled the minimum wage but it still lower than the pay in most of the central american countries that the migrants of fleeing attempted border crossings have now dropped by 25 percent following a crackdown by mexican authorities john heilemann has more from mexico city. there's now more than 14000 people in mexico from central american countries like guatemala honduras and el salvador who've asked for asylum in the united states but have been put back in mexico while they wait for that asylum process to play out this is a change of policy in the united states before they wait in the actual country itself that's taken place at the start of this year it's now going to expand or is expanding as the mexican government in the united states agreed that war more

people from central america will now wait on the mexican side while their asylum process continues now the mits can president and that his money will open for thought has said that those people who would be given work will be given health benefits and then also be given education and a place to stay while they wait for their asylum process in the u.s. in mexico what we found when we went to wonder this week is that that's not actually happening in terms of shelter the government has no shelters for those people into one of those 5000 of them in t. quander alone they're all being taken care of by private organizations and churches in terms of work there's no work programs in terms of health benefits and health programs that isn't happening either and actually people don't even have a visa that would allow them to legally work when they come but when they're in

mexico i asked president lopez obrador why what he promised isn't happening and here's what he had to say about it. regarding employment we're going to sign an agreement to give jobs at factories in the factories in northern mexico are offering to open 40000 jobs i'm asking the situation that you saw him describe has been like that for years now was going to be different. this is new but the implementation will take a while we're working fast but this also implies getting the resources we're authorizing the funds so we can provide resources to shelters of their food medicine and health care the president admitted that we found out in $21.00 or was in fact true what was happening and he said that not just work as you heard him there but also government to shelters will begin to be organized for these people remember of course that this is 5 months after they started to come into mexico one

of the thing to mention about this is that they're heading into the vulnerable and dangerous areas on the mexican border to see more than a 1000 murders so far this year that are also going to be coming into time a lipless a state that's really gripped and has been great for some time in cartel warfare sees a vulnerable people coming into mexico as the government just starts now to try to come to terms with this thousands have gathered in new york to mark the 50th anniversary of the day on which patrons of the stonewall inn a gay bar in the city's greenwich village neighborhood stood and fought against police.
