a certain point the endpoint of the march a lot of people will disperse go home other people then kit up in yellow helmets masks and so on and then we see a standoff with police i don't know for sure that that's going to happen but you do get a sense having covered a few of these that there is a certain mood that pervades and we are probably going to see something like that on this day and certainly the police are prepared for it they have to be because they have been so many clashes in the past as we drove into typo we were stopped at a police search checkpoint and there are an awful lot of police vehicles with a lot of riot gear inside which probably means there are a lot of riot police not too far away they have to be they are keeping a low profile at the moment we don't see any police we probably won't see any police right until the end of this march that will come possibly later peter rob thanks very much we'll talk to you soon i'm sure. plenty more ground still to cover for you here on al-jazeera including these stories why violence in aden is threaten to open a new front in the conflict in yemen also ahead radiation fears after rockets

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 our 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 for thailand's into 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 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 rain to grow their crops i left guessing about when the weather 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 on 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 $1300000000.00 tons goes to waste

every year the u.n. 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.

is all about is a 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 it vicious 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 better 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

agree with that. yes i would and i would out that were probably in the last show don't salute it 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 the coach or practice 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 tropics producing covered oxide into the atmosphere another is from animal farming from ruminants and me saying and then the 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 there is a missions 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 us an

ounce that it is pulling out well on other key. trees are staying in the courts and they have 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 sets 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 u.s. 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 drawn 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 star conclusions in the i.p.c.c. report is that soil is being lost between in and $100.00 times faster than it is 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 and 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

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 was that to be degraded that you mentioned so it's a complex issue but we don't 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 is a lot of people mistakenly think that going vacant or nearly 100 percent probably best will solve the problem when in fact we need postulate 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 changing farming practices

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 yawn the report says that there's a huge opportunity to use land differently to emit less to restore ecosystems we've

wrecked and also to store more carbon but just how difficult would that be to achieve and how long might it take. it is 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 communities and indigenous peoples to get the land tried for the land they 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

want to do that in a sustainable way and we want to provide money that we have promised on the premise agreement we're 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

foundations like 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

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

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

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 simon's 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 manage dairy cows but we also need to recognise 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 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 part of the solution and actually quite

efficient because if you've got a growth system that's the only way you can produce food off it and then it was actually directly contributed contribute towards 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 beach 8 if we mate 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 damaging the planet and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions so we need to be able to differentiate between that the wrong plots of the right pubs the wrong animals of the right and 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 a vital carbon store

a carbon 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 start of course you need to look into different countries situations what is causing emissions and countries like brazil but also other forest countries a country where the forest cover 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 our critical article farming practices is of course a way to go forestry systems and so forth putting the land into the hands of the indigenous people to look at 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 into. to consumers and then at the other end when consumers buy it to make sure that it it's not wasted before people eat that food and so they're different sets of policies for for those 2 different ends of the food waste spectrum and then of course

supermarkets in the middle so 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 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

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 do more of the problems which is a barrier great barrier shifting 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 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

a plant based diet they have solved the problem but as i tried to explain germ this program. they actually need to eat the ruminant animal products from a fertility voting aspects of the farming systems and feel that by doing so they're part of the solution whereas they need to give up altogether eating the industrially produced factory farms poke tree and pigs and dairy products which are absolutely part of the problem and they need to know the difference between the 2 so we need an education revolution which supports doing the right thing and that needs to be alone with the sustainable farming practices which replace the ones we've got of the moment simon we'll have about 30 seconds left how rapidly is the window at all this close. every town of the mission is going into the atmosphere matches because it's the cumulative amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that counts times of the climate change that we'll see so

every bit of reduction counts but that window is closing to reduce some of the really serious impacts that coming in the future if we don't get emissions from fossil fuels and from agriculture right down very fast all right we have run out of time for now thanks to all our guests simon lewis patrick holden and young. and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story for me and the whole team here 5 for now. has one of the world's highest would be theory but many a take up the fox against 3 military style white knights to radical surgery one

o one a steve instigates is the shining that's about to get in shape on out of the room. for the last 2 years the students have been collecting rubbish every day it's helped clean up the campus and helped build some of its facilities for every 2 kilo's of plastic waste they collect the school receives

a brick made of plastic and cement. for some activists this may not be the most ecological way to eliminate the problems of plastic but this is seen as an immediate solution to the growing problems of landfills across the country waste can now be used to manufacture building materials. if you're looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going all what do you see is gross is a religion that they have an in-depth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic growth this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to make the world smaller and smaller we don't want to be so realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pains on al-jazeera.

al-jazeera. that's. where ever you. don't want to get rid of. a filter. anchor explodes in central times and reports now coming in saying at least 50 people have been killed.

watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up. thousands in indian administered kashmir defy a locked up to protest against the removal of their autonomy. muslim pilgrims in saudi arabia climb mount arafat as more than 2000000 people take part in the annual hard. frankly we. the u.s. president calls for stronger checks on gun ownership but he'll have to get past the powerful gun lobby to make it happen. to begin with breaking news coming from tanzania where a fuel tanker has exploded there are reports of a big death toll it happened in the district of model we've just received these pictures from the scene just after the explosion took place it's not yet known of

course the blast will stay with these pictures we'll talk some of who joins us on the line from nairobi monitoring the story from there for us malcolm when did this happen. we just heard a short while ago from the regional commissioner that maybe 60 people could die. the number might be much higher possibly double that but that will be part of trying to find out how much we can bring you more soon as we have it. ok malcolm we'll leave it there many thanks. a lockdown is back in force for many in indian minister kashmir after thousands marched in sri lanka the indian government disputes the number of people who took part in some areas including jehmu restrictions have been eased like a stance foreign minister is now back from china after seeking beijing's support against india's move to strip away the regional autonomy priyanka gupta begins our coverage. they came out in their thousands

defying barricades and checkpoints. tear gas and anti right pellets all infuriated by the indian government for taking away their autonomy protests began after friday a presence for the largest city in did a bit of stick to sheer security was eased for a few hours but by friday evening the 5 day lockdown was tightened again. 4 lines are dead so is the internet gated to see a doctor it's difficult it was another long walk for the families of patients outside st aug largest hospital. i can't even explain the hardship i had to face to get here there's no food or milk for children we are suffering there are no doctors in the hospital. here in new delhi a majority of politicians of the parliament that the government's position are provoking autonomy of the india administered kashmir

but there are some who are skeptical about the timing and the way in which it's been implemented. india's economy is slowing dens of thousands of hard factory workers are losing their jobs all the issues around the economy have obviously taken a back seat i mean nobody is discussing that except business newspapers which will be so essentially yes the performance of this government in this town as well as the previous down has always been overshadowed. by something or the other some believe it's the reader modi trying to leave his mark after winning the 29 election with a massive mandate the more the mandate was not an economy mandate it was not based on the dream of fulfilling jobs economy but it was a national security election mandate and this is a legacy to him from within this is where he wants to leave a mark on india in the way the 1st one was me merely

a preparation for this more the leads the hindu nationalist b.g.p. repealing article $370.00 on autonomy has been one of its core ideologies there's nothing claim bestow about is this i think you do about it is the thing apologetic being a bulletin board we have done what we have stood for all this 5 we don't offer what we have committed ourselves to all the more the looks like he's fulfilled the long cherished dream of his party but it's not clear how his government can win the hearts and minds of kashmiris living under lockdown. al jazeera you telly. let's bring in our correspondent in the pakistani capital islamabad come on. as far as the pakistani government is concerned and i guess in my own car is there a sense then that they are standing cheek by jowl with the chinese over what india has done. road projects on 3rd.

boarded need from a road that lie that. august on and august on was expecting that kind of support that john i had already all fired a foreign minister had been your dad did giant need went down by pakistan nor just didn't think. and i was there for them. back in that country the chinese saying that both sides should go or what the game and i did the need to get food that price die and i had not accepted india you're not turning move the other big guns on august on a dad you would go and priyanka to report their reaction from the coach meade one of you and restrictions are lifted after all they're going to start finding out how it feels to be living under the next goal the feeling that a humanitarian crisis is about to unfold the boat both sides have stopped talking

to each other and seemed to be an explanation every day so what did important right now is for everybody outside the international community to realize that they did indeed a dangerous price and something had to be done to try and solve de groot should issue a big god what is happening in its me. more importantly why you would your men italian crises one. is lifted on the other side of the line of control from where you all come all is there a sense in which perhaps the situation of the crisis then might get even worse because the amount of anger that we are aware all of the indians of the lines and we're seeing on the pakistani side of the line that anger might in a sense get set free if you will. absolutely if you go

back just a few months ago or a few years ago every time i made a voice carried by that security force tens of thousands of people came out for the few 100 to run their anger so you can see that they're a shit be noted ready that the people of kashmir out of anger go by the 3 statements made by certain need thing that they are going to bring me the right man to be matted to indian national are. made. right the fact that these people have been underdog down for all of north korea we all know it or not being able to communicate would be by today relative to our guy and so did the bigots on prime minister had said that there is going to come when end. good fiction. well thank you very much pilgrims in mecca climbing mt ira sites on the 2nd

day of the they will pray and recite the koran before performing the stoning of the devil richard ritual more than 2000000 people are in saudi arabia for this religious gathering this talk again to a bus boss ago he's a visiting research on islamic studies at george mason university joins us now from atlanta in the states welcome back to al-jazeera i mean again i guess not wishing to politicize what the hajis revealed but you've got 90000 iranians there who've been allowed access to the hard she couldn't exactly say relations between saudi arabia and tehran are as good as they've ever been in the past but i guess it's a plus because they lowered the barriers literally. yes i mean it's glad to be back thank you very much for having me back but i have to say that. the hajj pilgrimage has always been one where tensions for the pilgrims are eased and people as average citizens as average pilgrims are there to perform their rights before god on the one on the holiest and most sacred days of the year and we would

hope that political leaders would would learn from the pilgrims themselves of course many people have heavy heavy hearts for what's happening in yemen especially what's happening in kashmir right now and people will go into the house with this in their background and their mind and they and they hope to to pray and find solace law on the pilgrimage but there is no doubt that that there are all of the potential right elements for things to go wrong at dodge and we just hope that they won't as they have in the past would be pulled to the pilgrims take away from this . well pilgrims themselves when they're engaged in the in the hard rituals are going through a deep intense you know very core bound spiritual renewal and for many programs they discuss the hives pilgrimage as a time of rebirth reno will even a practice for the day of judgment for for the day of resurrection in fact today on the sacred day of the day of arafat where people stand on the mountain before their

lord is a kind of mimicking and a sort of practice trial for the day of resurrection and so many people are extremely mindful both of the things that are happening in this world but also for the hereafter and they they want to make sure that they're on the right footing both in this life and the next i mean the scale of this as a pilgrimage in inverted commas is absolutely huge i can't think of another religion where a pilgrimage i mean yes there are there are pilgrimages to parts of say spain there are pilgrimages in parts of latin america but not we you can't describe those pilgrimage in terms of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people well really we're talking here in mecca in the millions and the saudi authorities have always done a very fine job in facilitating the logistics and making making the hajj pilgrimage comfortable for people coming from different parts of the world and there are you know we should say you know there are pilgrimages that take place in iraq for

example and in some parts of india that also involve millions and millions of people. but the hobs pilgrimage itself is one that is quite unique for its logistical burdens and for the mass migration of people through different stages of the of the ritual over the course of a number of a number of days and so it does create take quite of quite a bit of sophistication to pull this off. in atlanta in the states thank you. now protesters are occupying the arrival area of hong kong's international airport for a 2nd day they're planning to stay there for the rest of the weekend people flying into the territory aware of their dispute with the government the protests to plunge the city into its most serious political crisis in decades. as a march in typo in the north of hong kong the demonstrations organized called the event off on friday after it was banned by the police but much as went ahead with it anyway riot police have formed a blockade in.
