movements bride al-jazeera hong kong a canadian citizen held in syria since last december has been released in lebanon christian lee baxter was freed following mediation efforts by lebanon security chief it's unclear what banks there was doing in syria at the time of his detention . just like something. else. you know. like. we. did. so i'm a holdover from beirut. lebanon has mediated the release of a canadian national who was being held in syria the one of the top security officials in lebanon about for him was the man involved in this mediation effort he
2:01 am
said that the canadian national mr baxter was detained last year for violating laws in syria they really didn't divulge much details concerning these circumstances of his detention this is not he's not the 1st foreign nationals to be released in the past months a few weeks ago an american national was released about him himself playing a crucial role now he's calling this a humanitarian gesture but many here believe that these are messages messages that the syrian government wants to give to the west as it tries to gain legitimacy as it tries to and sanctions at the end of these 2 these 2 foreign nationals who are held and in syrian jails are not among the high profile people who went missing and believed to be held by the syrian government so messages possibly from the syrian government to the west trying to regain lost legitimacy. well still ahead

on the horizon of these warm waters lapping the shore of sars this tragedy is playing out and time and tide are bringing the bodies of its victims to these tourist beaches. more than 70 migrants drowned last month when their inflatable raft sank in rough weather. the director of the red crescent to help pull them out of the water told me the corpses were floating in from every direction or not. saving these people and even returning them to a prison in d.b.f. is better than letting them die like that in huge numbers of young people pregnant women and babies the northern european countries that we are the heavy responsibility it's a crime. this garbage heap outside scars this is where the dead bodies used to be dumped the red crescent has now reburied them nearby but these graves share
2:07 am
the same ground as the city's rubbish we spoke to a young man who nearly ended up here himself. living living as we lived libya in small boat into the deep sea the boat started to shake until its capsized in this moment i look at what i did and now i remember what happened. mohammed is taking refuge at the red crescent center outside zoologists other survivors like him are still struggling to cope with the terror of danger would wondering if they ever dare to go through it all again to reach europe a new cemetery is being built here it already contains the bodies of $71.00 people that were washed ashore on the city beaches last month. each of these graves have been numbered and the d.n.a. sample has been taken from each one of the victims the record of those is being held at the local hospital already the director of the red crescent is receiving

a synagogue shooting in california so as the white house examines what it can do to cut down on hate online there are also efforts at the congressional level that are continuing to try and put in place laws that make keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people donald trump speaking from the white house as he left on friday told reporters that he has had conversations with top democrats and republican leadership in the u.s. congress that he says there is an appetite for some sort of compromise legislation that could include things like the so-called red flag laws if an individual flags that they are unstable that guns could be taken away from them or not given to them in the 1st place and also that there will be potentially an agreement on universal background checks now we know that congress is not in session right now the earliest this could be debated in then voted on is likely september. yemen's 23

2:12 am
a degenerative illness that is fatal and begins in early childhood his mother tries to do her best to keep him as comfortable as possible it's a daily struggle there are medicines available that could make his last days more comfortable those medicines which are available in many parts of the world are legal in russia. elena has already lost a daughter to the disease in 2013 she says her daughter was in pain until the day she died elena didn't want her son to go through the same so when doctors told her there were drugs available abroad she decided to buy the medicines on the internet from a reputable website she says she was unaware that the medicines were illegal she presume that because she could buy them so easily and did not need a prescription but there was no issue the authorities have banned certain medicines like the one she ordered because they contain a mood altering substances that could be abused when she went to pick them up the police are waiting and detained. just around 5 pm i went to the post office to pick
2:13 am
up my postle and when i was leaving i was approached by 2 people who were police and customs officer they told me about possible contained a prohibited substance they demanded i give an explanation of the medicines and they took the packet from me after several hours i learned it was released but she's angry that she faced such treatment. the lawyer and the doctor from my local hospice to help me i was scared and i needed help to help get more released the anger came afterwards because the system is not working at the same time i heard my son was vomiting blood i was so outraged at the system that prevented me from buying this medicine in the hospice that helped the staff play with the office dog a moment of relief as they work to uncover more cases of pressure the authorities to make certain pain medicines more freely available for this because the hospice made its own independent survey we also said they needed this legal medicine to send us information within

a week we heard from 1300 families. russia's health ministry has said that it is looking into the legal issues surrounding the availability of these drugs is also said that drug manufacturers need to apply for licenses to sell those drugs within the country itself however campaign is have said that they've been hearing this for years and not much has changed for the families of those with sick children this frustration only adds to the already difficult situation there in iraq moscow. the world food program says it will resume food distribution to hundreds of thousands of people in the capital deliveries by the u.n. agency to 850000 people and son are stopped 2 months ago over concerns aid was being diverted from vanderbilt people the resumption comes after an agreement between the world food program and yemen's who 3 fighters. are behind a man who scaled the roof of his country's embassy in london as told al jazeera he
2:15 am
feared for his life when he was tackled by staff who somehow meant was protesting against the exit queue sions of 2 bahraini activists lawrence lee reports from london. in the dead of night mussa mohammed used the cover of scaffolding to gain access to the roof of the embassy. once there he unfurls his banner i'm risking my life to save 2 men about to be executed in the next few hours that reads we did when you brought us we do send them letters for their human rights organization under you and as well it doesn't stop but i feel in my in my heart there is something i can do to save their lives that's why i went to the top of the embassy shortly afterwards the police arrived and for a good 10 minutes nothing much happens as they try to work out how to handle the situation on the roof mr mohammad appears relaxed sipping from
2:16 am
a water bottle occasionally calling on the british prime minister to call the king of bahrain to the country to respect human rights was. a god it was but suddenly everything changes a figure appears a little next to the protest and the police response dramatically. was further. look at it again it's at this point that mr mohammed says he was beaten with a stick and almost forced off the roof was was mr mohammed can be seen being pulled from the ledge to the ground during this time he says he is treacherous being beaten to death we want to feel from here as a sheep and no one is going to help you here even though your cable is their 1st even their thanks was done and the 2nd time they said even that wouldn't you came in they can't they can't help you no one can come to ours here and there in our
2:17 am
land and so you were quite clear that you thought that they were going to beat you to death inside the embassy yes it's was a clear and they say this is well certainly his friends filming it all from the ground a terrified. urging the police to do something officers force to push them back. here are going out. within a minute or 2 the fire service has forced the doors of the embassy and offices go in and some numbers the embassy has said it regards mr mohammed's protest as being in support of what it describes as terrorists and in the end what happened on the roof is their word against his but what was extraordinary was the police response because officers plainly were so concerned about mr mohammed safety that they had no compunction in breaking every rule in the diplomatic handbook on ordering the forcing of the doors of the embassy of another country mr mohammed says when the
2:18 am
embassy staff realized the police were in the building attitude changed in telling the 3rd man who told them. the police break in the door and before the before and that's when they stopped attacking you was it yes exactly he told them don't beat him as for the 2 men mr mohammed was protesting for their executions went ahead as planned i mean allegations that they've been tortured in jail and in london an indication of how concerned the police are about what might happen to protesters inside the walls of the embassies of gulf states laurence li al jazeera not. take you through some of the headlines here and al-jazeera huge crowds have taken to the streets of indianapolis in kashmir defiance of a crackdown by indian security forces these are the 1st pictures to emerge from the

region on friday the area around the long town with the internet and phone lines cut. off from new delhi. the 1st reports of a massive protests where the. people marched. and were met with lie fire tear gas rubber bullets several of them are believed to have sustained pellet injuries as well this is the largest protests of its kind since monday there have been sporadic demonstrations in the past specially towards the evening where security restrictions were relaxed but today was a largest demonstration of its kind after friday prayers hong kong's chief executive says she's making no concessions to protesters and is accusing them of recklessness caroline spoke while there was a mass sit in at hong kong airport the 2nd in a month

a canadian citizen held in syria since last december has been released in lebanon christian laid back so was freed following mediation efforts by lebanon security chief it's unclear why banks so was arrested. just like the thing. you know. 17 goldman sachs executives have been charged with allowing malaysia's former leader najib razak and others to steal billions of dollars from its development fund one m d b it's the 2nd time since december malaysia has accused the
2:21 am
multinational bank of misappropriating funds razak is facing separate corruption charges as the headlines the news continues after inside story. climate change is threatening the world's food supply that's according to a u.n. panel and it says the way land is used has to change so how will governments deal with this warning and can the planet still be saved this is inside story.
2:22 am
hello and welcome to the program. we've seen report after report warning us of the dangers of climate change and that is happening right now the united nations' intergovernmental panel on climate change has put the minds of more than $100.00 scientists together and what they're saying is alarming not only are rising temperatures threatening the planet but so are eating habits the way food is formed is drastically degrading the earth's land and scientists predict that's making global warming worse and will lead to food shortages as lopez what the u.n. reports one solution may be that we have to change our diets. in many parts of the world land is being overworked and misused and it's increasingly being swallowed up by the effects of global warming heat waves and droughts are turning once fertile lands enter deserts that's the latest warning from scientists i think the takeaway message is that the way we use land matters because it impacts the climate and that
2:23 am
we also should use land as a solution the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change says global warming and poor land use practices are having devastating effects entire communities have lost their crops livestock land and livelihood small scale farmers who depend on grain to grow their crops i left guessing about when the whether the rains are going to come. whether they'll be enough so it's really an urgent message to governments. the report calls on governments to promote small scale farming and to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions it also urges consumers to do their part by reducing meat consumption the way we produce food and what we eat contributes to the loss of nature ecosystems and declining biodiversity. it's estimated that one 3rd of the food produced for human consumption about
2:24 am
$1300000000.00 tonnes goes to waste every year the un panel says limiting the amount of voice would free land for reforestation and crop growth. a warning to stop pushing land to its breaking point and a call for governments to pay attention. to the young al-jazeera. alright let's bring in our guest simon lewis is professor of global change science at university college london and he joins us from london patrick holden is c.e.o. of sustainable food trust and he joins us by skype from lampeter wales. and the un qualls it is senior climate policy adviser at oxfam germany and he joins us from berlin welcome to all of our guests yawn let me start with you time is running out there is a finite amount of land and an ever growing population just how dire is the situation we are all facing now. this is what the report of the un i.p.c.c.
2:25 am
is all about is the dial warning saying we must take urgent action to reduce the pressure on climate and on lands both at the same time so climate change is a rate eve worsening poverty in the world it's increasing the problems we have with hunger it's impacting food systems it's decreasing harvests everywhere in his making her to charity instead increasingly unstable so we still have a window left where we can act but that window is closing soon and or depends on how ambitious governments will be when it comes to cutting emissions and so far we see this ambition is not there we have a criminal lack of ambition shown by all governments but they can make up for it because next year they are supposed to submit new reduction targets under the present dream and this will show whether or not the world will be able to control climate change that it we seem to be trapped in a vicious cycle that goes something like this climate change makes agriculture more difficult but agriculture itself is also exacerbating climate change would you
2:26 am
agree with that. yes i would and i would out that were probably in the last show that salute in terms of addressing irreversible climate change. but the bad news and the good news is that firstly. the majority of the private surface used to be covered with rain forests and of course it's been replaced by foams but the good news is that not only if i was part of the problem but they could become part of the solution if we changed a good coach approaches is scale and i know that's possible because i've been practicing more sustainable coach of the last 40 years here on this 300 acre farm in west simon and how much of an impact has farming had whether you're talking about methane production from dairy farming or clearing lands for agricultural use overall it's about 23 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions are from farming and agriculture and one big chunk of that is deforestation in the
2:27 am
tropics producing covered oxide into the atmosphere another is from animal farming from ruminants and me saying and then a 3rd big area is nitric oxide emissions which are largely from fertilizer over application of fertilizer and these 3 gases is a contributing to climate change in the atmosphere and as we know that if we want to stabilize the climate system then those emissions from by fossil fuels and from agriculture need to decline to 0 yawn you spoke a few moments ago about the paris climate agreement now in 2017 u.s. president donald trump announced that he was pulling the u.s. out of the climate agreement by the year 2020 and since then you've seen moves by his administration to repeal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions i mean where does everything stand when it comes to the paris climate accord since the u.s.
2:28 am
announced that it is pulling out well what other can. trees are staying in the courts and they are trying to increase the ambition they have when it comes to climate action at home so there is support all around except the united states and that is only the united states administration so it's the trumpet ministration the rest of the country is stepping up on the climate crisis so lots of you see lots of action and legislation on the federal state level for instance consumers people citizens they all are aware of the growing climate crisis and we will have to get the us back on board of course but that doesn't stop the rest of the hands and it is moving ahead is not at the scale of the speed we need but it is moving ahead some renewable energies are getting drowned everywhere coal power is phased out in many many countries including my country germany france and. the what is moving on and the u.s. would have to step up patrick one of the stark conclusions in the i.p.c.c. report is that soil is being lost between in and $100.00 times faster than it is
2:29 am
being formed in cloud areas could you explain more to the viewers what exactly that means and how dire that makes the situation. well certainly saw a carbon loss due to industrial and intensive agriculture during my farming like time has been one of the very major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions but there is good news there which is that if we changed our practices and went back to rotational foaming mix farming which combines a fertility voting period normally with grass and far as legumes with an explosive period which will be producing vegetables whole grains or other foods that we can eat we can actually rebuild the law so a carbon possibly take up to $100.00 parts per 1000000 of c o 2 out of the atmosphere but we can only do that and produce enough food for us to eat if we graze the pastas with ruminant on it was that sheep and cattle and picking up on simon's point we do need to get to 0 emissions from agriculture but that means net
2:30 am
0 emissions because we cannot avoid the methane emissions from the grass that ruminants but they can be offset by the soil carbon game of the saws which we need to rebuild the ones that have been degraded that you mentioned so it's a complex issue but we all need to become experts in understanding the kinds of farming systems that we need to replace the ones the causing all the damage and then we need to align all future does to the productivity of those systems if we can't do that and even if i was once to change they will be able to sell the products of the marketplace and this is a big issue at the moment there's a lot of people mistakenly think that going vacant or nearly 100 percent probably best will solve the problem when in fact we need postulant to hold the carbon and to rebuild the culvert as part of an integrated system simon her pattern to talk about the need to change farming practices obviously in changing farming practices
2:31 am
that is a massive undertaking and you would have to incentivize this for farmers how could that be done in parts of the world where farmers are really suffering don't have the resources to do that. well there's a big set of policy questions that come out of this i.p.c.c. report and for small farmers one of the major issues in developing countries is getting that product to market fast and avoiding food waste so affording food waste to get it to people to be able to eat is really important so there are interventions there that governments can help farmers with to be able to increase their yields and increase what they get from their land and therefore contribution to producing more food to be able to take pressure off converting more land into agricultural land yun the report says that there's a huge opportunity to use land differently to emit less to restore ecosystems we've
2:32 am
wrecked and also to store more carbon but just how difficult would that be to achieve and how long might it take. and it's a big challenge because it is not only restoring ecosystems that we need to do in order for them to become a net sink of emissions when sense we always need to look at how we can support no good communities and indigenous peoples to get the land tribes for the man to live on and then work on so that they become stewards of the land in order which made it much more make them able to adapt to a changing climate and of course the it all depends on the willingness of governments to actually do that and someone in some cases especially in developing countries is going to depends on the support that they are getting from the rich countries who are obliged to provide that support and in the paris agreements of they are failing to do this on adequate levels but if they would step up that and say ok we would like to support your food systems to adapt to climate change and we
2:33 am
want to do that in a sustainable way and we want to provide money that we have promised on the premise that we meant we were going to big step patrick i saw you nodding along to what yon was saying did you want to jump in yes i agree with what he says completely because the key issue is what kind of farming systems that the aged the rich companies countries is supporting because until now many of the charities despite their best intentions of actually supported the cause of farming systems which are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions i'll give you an example of the 8 programs encourage farmers to use more not sure yet report the i.p.c.c. report highlights that the 3rd of the greenhouse gas emissions come from not just oxide mostly connected with the use of marginal fertilizer which is so it's contributing to the oxidize ation of previously covered rich soils so we really need to make sure that future aid from the big 8 charities and indeed from
2:34 am
foundations but bill and melinda gates foundation and usa id target the right kind of sustainable practices which. absolutely hasn't been the case in the past we've tended to be exporting already dust through the systems to africa and other developing countries rather than the systems we need now to address climate change simon one of the main points in the report is that the way that humans consume food is playing a big role in the climate crisis and that cutting consumption of some types of food could potentially help start turning things around but i would imagine that there are few things more politically or socially fraught then trying to dictate to societies what foods they can and cannot eat so how do you go about start tackling that challenge or the i.p.c.c. report is policy neutral so it's putting out the evidence and the evidence is that
2:35 am
growing food to feed animals to feed people is a very inefficient way of utilizing the land. so if we want more land for nature and if we want more land to be able to sequester carbon from the atmosphere and contribution to the solution to climate change then we need to free up land and one of the one of the ways we can free up land is by switching to more plant based diets so it's not saying that everyone needs to go vegetarian or vegan but for those rich people in the world who consume a lot of animal products to lower those will have knock on effects of both reducing the emissions from the animals themselves reducing emissions from the agriculture from all the inputs of the plants that are fed to the animals and will slow down the rate of deforestation as in the new land that's required to feed this intensive system of producing so many animals not just to get an idea of this guy
2:36 am
a live animal production and its impact on the natural world is if you weighed all the land mammals on all of its land surface she weighed them or about 30 percent of that weight would be the weight of humans past 67 percent of that weight but the weight of our livestock animals and just 3 percent would be the weight of all of the wild animals so we're really out of balance with the ecosystems and then requirements including sequestration of carbon slowing down the rate of climate change and one of those ways of doing that is to reduce the amount of meat consumption of the people who are the highest consumers of meat in the world the richest people but the report is clear that if you want to see that those outcomes of freeing up land to be able to tackle climate change then that it's got to come from somewhere and one of the most inefficient ways of using land is for meat
2:37 am
production rather than producing crops directly for human consumption patrick i can see you want to jump in please go ahead. yes i do i mean side is absolutely right that there's a lot of inefficient meat production in the world and we need to cut down on that kind of meat production that by the way is mainly grain fed intensive poetry pork and intensively managed dairy cows but we also need to recognize that without roots we count the crusts of the cellulose material in grasslands into food that we can eat and the ruminants grazing those systems will play a vital part in rebuilding the facility ready that we've lost so we need as citizens and consumers to be able to differentiate between the kind of livestock systems which a part of the problem which is the grain fed intensive white meat systems and those systems which are absolutely essential and part of the solution and actually quite
2:38 am
efficient because if you go to grow a system that's the only way you can use food off it and then it was actually directly contributed contribute tools holding on to the carbon bank and if you think about it we want to avoid it be advised and advise also it's not only what cut of meat is the right kind of meat to eat if we meet but also what kind of problems we eat because palm oil genetically modified soil and milk both seed rape these are all problem foods but they're produced in ways which it dominating the planet and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions so we need to be able to differentiate between that the wrong plots of the right clothes the wrong animals of the right time the rules yawn these warnings from the i.p.c.c. are emerging just about a month after it was revealed from reports in brazil that every single minute an area of the amazon rain forest roughly the size of a football pitch is being cleared and the amazon is vital carbon store carbon
2:39 am
bank at that slows down the pace of global warming so you have this very dire a set of warnings and recommendations in the i.p.c.c. and then you have the reality on the ground i mean how do you reconcile that and do you think that there is political will power at this time in the world to really tackle this in a meaningful way. well there is some but maybe not always in the right places so it's up to governments to come to the september the climate summit in new york on the invitation of the un secretary general and come up with increased targets for reducing emissions because currently we have a criminal in adequate targets for all around so hardly any countries doing enough to confront the climate crisis so that of course the 1st starts in of course you need to look into different countries situations what is causing emissions and countries like brazil but also other forest countries and countries forest cover
2:40 am
might want to look into options that can be committed to cut deforestation to 0 what are the options for doing that and if you're ridges got a little bit moving away from industrial agriculture towards our a culture that is based on are critical of chicken farming practices is of course a way to go agroforestry systems and so forth putting the land into the hands of the indigenous people to local communities can do a lot including in feeding the world but of course always adapting to climate change and reducing emissions as i'm in the report also singles out food waste and it's contributing factor to climate change how effectively could this be tackled well it needs to be tackled at both ends to getting. food from the. fields into the market. to consumers and then at the other end when consumers buy it to make sure that it's it's not wasted before people eat that food so they're different sets of policies for for those 2 different ends of the food waste spectrum and then of course
2:41 am
supermarkets in the middle wasting. considerable amounts of food. jaan food insecurity is a big factor in international migration if food shortages worsen and if they affect poorer parts of the world more than richer ones what could that mean when it comes to migration patterns going forward where we need to understand that some people do not want to move away from home so they usually want to stay home but sometimes the situations worsens to state where they actually cannot stay where the livelihoods are destroyed or damaged as unsustainable and then they have to move and what we see is of course that people try to stay in a cultural context in their country so they would move within the boundaries of that country or maybe cross border to neighboring countries and that is of course a situation that can create additional conflicts and that makes it even more important that we assist those countries we meaning the rich well we assist those
2:42 am
countries in adapting to climate change in making livelihoods possible in a changing climate so that people do not have to move because as i said they don't want to if they don't have to and they wouldn't move unless they are forced to do so by these external factors such as climate change to which by the way they have not contributed anything so it's all the rich are worlds or perhaps the richest sections of emerging economies of populations but it's basically the wealthy people are causing the problem the poor people are suffering from it and if these people are given the chance to adapt to a changing climate they would be more than happy to sustain their livelihoods but they are and we would have that sort of crisis patrick implementing these recommendations would also require a shift in consumer behavior was as well would it not yes it would have more of the problems which is a barrier a great shift in consumer behavior which is necessary is this all this food processing at the moment if you're following it simply using lots of chemical fertilizers that's just so it's growing smaller coaches' pays better than if you're
2:43 am
farming sustainably and that's because the damage caused. to greenhouse gases. emissions and of course the public health is not charged to they followers of the food produces who cause it and that's no fault of their own it's just that we don't and enforce the polluter pays principle so we really do need to make sure that to use economists language we pay for our negative externalities and that way the business case for farming sustainably will improve that the affordability of sustainably produced food will be great and that both those practice will encourage the ship that is necessary but there is another thing which is that there's a huge amount of confusion out there amongst the public in relation to the question of what should i eat to be healthy and sustainable a lot of people think in my view erroneously that they simply switch to
2:44 am
