11:00 pm
one is enough assistant politician demister that's a good pushing for greater democracy he says done his a way forward no one would love to see a clash no one would love to see fountains no one would love people to be injured and that's why we know that the only way out is hong kong government must respond to people's demand instead of hiding behind of those riot police thousands activists gather at airport and they are planning to have half 1000000 people join the protests on sunday too demanding for you crystal clear requests the 1st is terminate and withdraw the extradition bill the 2nd one is to stop release brutality and finally the only way out is to have free election hong kong people need to elect our own government. to hong kong mt our correspondent there harder. and harder attention has now moved away from the international airport where are you and what's the situation. where i am in downtown
11:01 pm
hong kong and one of the areas where there have been several protests over the past week and tonight there was a standoff between protesters and police basically it started when some of them were on an overpass. pointing these lasers green laser beams at the police station they were told by the police inside the building at the time to move away to stop pointing that well that did not happen the testers remain defiant and i have to say that throughout the hour or so we were there the number of protesters was swelling a lot of passers by joined a lot of people living in the neighborhood came and joined them and now we have to move away simply because the police 1st came down to the street tried to push the protesters away they say and then we treated the protesters advanced again and then the police lost its patient and came down again to the street and fired
11:02 pm
a fair amount of tear gas all the protesters should have ran away in the street where i am now their predicament to where it was all happening and they have moved in this direction but for what we understand they're now going to just take a vote and go back to that point and we're looking at shots live shots. of riot police with defensive shields do you get the sense that this is going to be another turbulent night hong kong. well it seems so actually we've been standing here for about 2 hours i mean here michel gathering was something called the hungry ghost which is a chinese ritual that happens every month of august and so on social media. there were calls to come to this point of this ritual basically people throw into the fire offerings for their ancestors to keep away the evil life and this year some of
11:03 pm
the one of the papers they printed is this one here and leaflet with the fig leaf picture of kerry last year the chief of police and the chief of security at the protesters were throwing back into the fire while pointing these green laser beams out the police station city so does a policeman come back with their shields swung to push them away as far as possible and then the protesters returned but it seems now i mean they they look defiant i think with each day that passes and each event that happens it's kind of confrontation that happens in the positions harden certainly the protesters but there you go mad and if you can see it again behind us they're running again and the tear gas is actually you probably can see here they're all just right there now we have a question. that's point of too many roads i'm just going to take my gas mask while we are was dry our showing you these pictures because we're probably going to get
11:04 pm
that so we're here about maybe 400 meters away from that police station and i think . each time the policemen have been trying to push these kids the way people think they have and the family really these laser. beams. sort of increase in people who are more their. own think of the police station the more people camping and cheering for them to the police the 1st people. to push them. into the same street and we see all of these people who full. of hope and. say i mean it seems. each day that passes to see their positions harden on both sides i spoke to some protester earlier they also said they weren't very happy with they would wait they were being described by
11:05 pm
a story tease saying that they were new york terrorists or saying that they were thirds they say they were just young people who are very worried of the future of. dark. rides and obviously there's a huge amount of attention this is the not only on the protestors and their behavior but also that is the police so far does it look to you that there is a certain amount of restraint being exercised by the police. well so far i mean what i've witnessed really today is that the police 1st warned by these loud speakers get away from this earlier stop pointing these. laser pointer is the protesters remain defied they came down they did a show of force they retreated and the protesters remained there increased actually the number of laser pointers on the building and then the protesters and then the police came down again and now is firing more and more tear gas i think really
11:06 pm
most of the slogans we heard tonight had to do with pretty police brutality actually some of the protesters came up to me and told me to watch out police in hong kong it's really bad there really violence today is that perception that the police is against the protesters and i think with each incident that passes the pictures are quickly beamed out social media some of them are actually going live on social media and that really hardens the positions on both sides. right huldah had me reporting live there from hong kong thank you very much for that and of course how they will keep their eye on developments in hong kong for us. a sense of calm here at al-jazeera. amanda gallacher in iowa where a trade war with china is having a very real effect on farmers who will be asking if i broke culture it still
11:07 pm
supports the president. hello again or welcome back we're here cross parts of china things have been looking much better pretty appear towards the northeast we're seeing a lot clearer skies and the winds have died down since what we had seen earlier in the weekend but we are going to see some very heavy rain across much of the southeast that is going to continue and we're going to see hong kong at $32.00 degrees over here towards for joe a little bit warmer at $36.00 but to the north temperatures are climbing so for one expect to see $36.00 degrees here on thursday and $38.00 degrees by the time we go towards friday now over here towards india we have been seeing a lot of heavy rain across much of central india flooding has been a major problem in this is our next round of rain that we're really interested in and very concerned about because just last week we saw some very heavy rain leading to flooding as well as casualties across much of the west so we're going to be
11:08 pm
watching this area start to make its way towards the west from thursday as well as into friday in some of these occasions we could be seeing anywhere between $3400.00 millimeters of rain just and the next 72 hours down towards the south though it is going to be off and on rain for tonight as well as bengaluru carola the rain is going to continue for you as we go towards friday and then here in the gulf we are going to be seeing a lot of humidity over the next few days visibilities will be coming down so for doha expect to see $38.00 degrees for us over here towards our dubey attempts are about $41.00 degrees. trust is fundamental to all our relationships we trust banks without money talk to us without really personal thought what happens to trust in a world of my own. as more i want to citizens and prosper by these complex pieces of code the question that comes up. can we trust on. the 1st of
11:09 pm
a 5 part series great question when you're trying to of digital. trust me i'm an algorithm on a. tougher 2nd look at the top stories here at our jazeera pakistan's prime minister's compare the indian government's ideology to naziism imran khan addressed the assembly on the pakistani side of the disputed territory of kashmir he dedicated the nation's independence say to the kashmiri people and promised to respond to any indian aggression. iran's president has criticised the u.s. and the u.k. efforts to build up
11:10 pm
a military presence in the gulf has some rouhani says gulf states can protect the region themselves and foreign forces aren't needed. there this is a scene live in hong kong where police have been firing tear gas at hundreds of protesters who are gathered outside a police station in callin china's condemned protests at the airport as near to terrorist acts but the planes are flying again after demonstrators caused mass cancellations. of a teenage crime at activists gretta has set sail across the atlantic ocean. the 16 year old is heading for new york to attend a u.n. summit on climate change as she started her journey from plymouth in the south of england the voyage on a 0 emissions yacht is expected to take 2 weeks also inboard her father and 2 experienced sailors as well as a filmmaker can go live now to plymouth at the mayflower marina our correspondent there is sonya. so she's recently set off we think it's going to take about 2 weeks
11:11 pm
but there are no frills attached with the vessel in which she's traveling. no frills is definitely a polite way of putting it seeing as there are very little in the way of facilities on board the certainly no bathroom facilities. no fridges no air conditioning and really very tight space for all aboard this 18 metre vessel which is going to be powered by hydro turbines which are underneath the vessel as well as solar powered panels as well of course given the propensity for anything to go wrong there is also another backup with that which would require more conventional means to power it out but the main aim is to try and get across so gracious to try and get across or she's refused to take
11:12 pm
a plane to try and do this because she said she doesn't want to add any more to the pollution in the world that's her rationale but even though she did say that she was. she had no idea how exactly she was going to get back from her trip she said that she would leave all her options open but depending of course how smooth this journey would be at the atlantic at this time of year you start to see some horrific and building up as well so as well as the lack of frills or otherwise on board it's certainly going to be quite a rough journey as well because this particular kind of vessel would just literally careen through the waves that are in the atlantico certainly for people a challenge for people even with the strongest of sea legs. she is going to un climate. conference in new york and she says this is the perfect statement for somebody who is attending that conference to make before she gets there i'm
11:13 pm
sure that not many other delegates will be doing the same. so you know what and of course one of the cries of criticism or questions that have surrounded this. this very challenging journey is like well it's all very well for the greater to make this one journey but still going to be millions of people taking planes it's not going to try to win that but when posed this question she said the point is is that it is to raise awareness that she is going to stick by her weight and make a 0 carbon emission journey and the whole point is that she says she wants to get that message filtered down to friends to friends of friends etc etc when i asked her what was the one name that she hoped to achieve on this journey she simply said it was about awareness she says she wants to relay that message to people
11:14 pm
because she said it is up to the people to vent pressure their leaders to do something put all those words into action and try and see if there can be some kind of solution to what she says is the emergency that is affecting the planet and of course in united states and certainly under the trumpet ministration any kind of debate over this has been met with some very stiff rebuttals from the administration itself and of course all the pulling back from all the environmental protection so she does really have quite a challenge there is a very sort of robust debate there against what everything that grettir represents and the message that she hopes to carry she will have her work cut out for her but certainly her determination is equaling that of many of the people who are in fact climate deniers themselves so. reporting live from plymouth thank you.
11:15 pm
britain's former finance minister philip hammond says he's confident the parliament can block a no deal bracks in prime minister barak's johnson pledge to leave the e.u. by toby the 31st with or without a deal is refusing to rule out suspending parliament to make that happen which hammond says would cause a constitutional crisis and is supported by the speaker of the house of commons john bercow who says that he will block attempts to bypass parliament in order to secure a new deal breaks it now donald trump says he will delay a new terrorists on chinese made products the us president says he doesn't want americans have to pay more for things like laptops and smartphones in the major shopping season in the run up to christmas. and farmers in the us a facing their biggest challenge in decades as the trade war between the u.s. and china continues and gallagher reports from iowa where the dispute has already cost the state an estimated 2000000000 dollars. iowa or is known as the tall corn
11:16 pm
state part of the american rural heartland where agriculture and food production dominate the economy so all the beans have been exported to china for decades but the trade war is changing all that in july china placed a 25 percent tariff on the crop and stocks piled up prices dropped and i was farmers have been caught in the cross-hairs you know corn and soybeans there are 2 major crops that we grow april has just returned from china as part of a soybean growers delegation like many farmers in iowa she's been hit hard we knew someone had been there when china something had to be done you know we don't like how it's going down because at the end of the day agriculture usually always takes it growers woes of being hampered by an unusually wet spring and as china deals with an outbreak of african swine fever the need for feed to make using soybeans
11:17 pm
has dropped several farmers have told us they feel trapped in the perfect storm there's reduced demand from china poor weather is lead to a bad growing season and now there's a trade war with no end in sight there anyway farmers in iowa are keeping their heads above water is through government subsidies and many say they're on fairly distributed and simply not enough economist to say that federal aid is only a short term solution so the longer this trade war goes on the tougher things get now let's go on what do you do professor chad hart says aid is needed but a long term trade strategy would be better government support is coming here is a nice injection if you will of care action a time that farmers are looking to pay some bills but at same time too it doesn't address the long term issues of not having stayed. trade relationships farmers in our adjusting by finding new markets and planting alternative crops china is making similar moves importing from other nations there is a fear here though that the trade relationship between the u.s.
11:18 pm
and china may never be the same again you guys have filters for like many in a state the president won comfortably in 2016 brian sampson is generally in favor of trump's approach on trade with china as the months passed though his confidence is wavering politicians in general love to use a problem to have vote so i like him trying to solve problems check the boxes move on i hope that's what happens. now after. the president of the american farm bureau federation described the trade war as a body blow to thousands of farmers trade not aid is a familiar refrain here but without a resolution the u.s. is farming states may be facing a different landscape ahead and a gallacher al-jazeera ames iowa.
11:19 pm
typhus take a look at the top stories here pakistan's prime minister has likened the indian government to the nazis because of its decision to revoke indian administered kashmir of it so talk to me he delivered a scathing attack against new delhi saying the hindu nationalists ideology of the governing b j p means its policy is a sectarian and anti muslim he dedicated the nation's independence day to the kashmiri struggle as he addressed the assembly on the pakistani side of the disputed territory. nazir gives a lot of career between india and pakistan there is no fight going on but we are standing up to an ideology which is worse this ideology is the r s s ideology the parent organisation of the b j p modi is a member of it since childhood this ideology got inspiration from hitler's nazi party which includes racial superiority. and this is the scene live in hong kong where police have been firing tear gas at hundreds of protesters
11:20 pm

11:22 pm
from brazil observatory. amazon deforestation is happening rapidly under president brazilian president. according to brazil's national institute for space research the 1st 7 months of 2019 showed a 67 percent surge and before station that's compared to the previous year the far right leader called those figures misleading he's also said that environmental protections are what's holding back the country's economy since taking office this year regulations have been scaled back and the green light has been given to logging mining and other development projects and by them until it's worry that too much deforestation in the amazon could create irreversible damage to the region's unique biodiversity and worsen the global state of climate change so how will opening up the amazon to business interests impact the world's largest rain forests with us to talk about these issues in salvador brazil. a political ecologist and
11:23 pm
professor of humanities at the federal university. paolo our tasho and environmental physicist from the university of south from where he joins us. his background includes work studying the amazonian ecosystem and how to build sustainable development in the region and in london me out pretty good journalist who covers latin america welcome to the stream everyone i want to start with the view of our audience our community has so much to say about this so this is a tweet we got from grecia who says i have known the amazon forest since i was 7 watching a series it's very saddening that it's going to be cleared for agribusiness and it's fall and flora that i dreamt of seeing by age 30 i'm $27.00 now are going to be destroyed so mia talk to us about how proportionate this tweet
11:24 pm
is to what's been going on because of course president boston r.-o. took office in january what's happened since then when it comes to the amazon. yet emma is on record question is not a new phenomenon in brazil but i think what the concerning the. rising rate of the destruction which are almost record high so in july we saw 1 an increase of 300 percent comparing to last year grab the equivalent of actually 3 every minute so that's the rate of destruction we're talking right now so what happened when jay will set out to be can present anyone before during his elections was that he promised to ease regulations. mining companies operating and yammers our agricultural company or companies operating operating in the rain corps but he also hinted that he was. not only that but he has admitted
11:25 pm
that he is open to opening up the amazon for exploration so he believes that yemen song is like a very valuable commodity that your have not only because all the good it can create meaner all. water and even oil so what he believes seeping on this well and it's not using it and so seems electoral campaign he's being very vocal about pushing for this and sometimes he's. actually hidden at the legal and it could have been damnation be illegal deforestation it seems like he's. lucky being a lot of value to what is happening and know what that is just pushing illegal. loggers and miners to continue to be right so we are you mentioned 3 football fields worth of deforestation which is a good one for our audience to get a visual of if you know football of course so i want to broaden this out i want to
11:26 pm
share a map so that everyone knows what we're talking about here when it comes to scale so take a look at this the amazon is outlined in yellow it is shared by 9 countries 6700000 square kilometers to india's could fit inside the amazon and 10 percent of the world's known species call it home so philippe when it comes to this section of brazil how does this current government differ from the previous administration when it comes to policies that affect the amazon. well to have an idea it's much worse then than well i said in the theater i've just been in one community of care for indigenous people in the amazon and there was this beautiful river that i used to swim with the kids 4 years ago today there's no river anymore that entire reason has been destroyed by illegal gold miners who are also different the
11:27 pm
. so there is that for the 1st station for it at the range it but there is also a lot of illegal good mining company to every single indigenous land in them as of this writing river basins it's unbelievable how fast it can be what goes on aries do is not peace is amazon is not open for business is open for play and it's a crime against humanity international audience should be really really weird off what is being time what's happening in brazil it's a horrible crime against humanity villainy display i mean i think that this international attention that brazil has been getting the past few weeks out say after these last day that i think it has showed just how much it bothers as i've also narrows intent to open gammas on for business he's a very pro-business president and sorrow am of course i agree with felipe that in
11:28 pm
everyone everything everyone in the scientific. community says the same that presume that amazon has an invaluable. play in our planet it's not only like like you said the species it is if it homes but also it's our economic it's controls our temperature and it slows climate change it also is home to most of the . freshwater we can drink but it's just shells what present with the brazilian government says that if you did have. towards these criticism coming from a from international bodies is that the amazon is brazil's and not the world's research. and the control of the amazon rain is not cover and position you mention your community just how low you are in that community go ahead because not just get a lot of the bill for the business you open for predatory b.c.'s you know they are
11:29 pm
muslim funds short of a very nice example of that is it possible to develop adama's when you know us you still does not ask too much well it only can be implemented quickly so basically it is not the issue to isolate a young muslim person but actually to give a window for the people who lives in numbers who are not sustainable we often leave it because i was one of these critical for to global carbon cycle if you are if your significant fraction from us going to. be killed i love it if very significant the greenhouse effect a good will also amazon is critical for the i don't know if you will for the whole group choice critically important to preserve the i was on a resume. to get in the sustainable way yeah and if you correct me if i'm wrong but from what i've heard from what i've read and most of the protestation is right now at
11:30 pm
a total of 17 percent so 70 percent of that whole chunk you saw on the map is not destroyed and what scientists are calculating is that that point of no return that we've been hearing about is between 20 and 20 percent so it if it if this calculation is correct we are very close to seeing a point of no return indiana's on we don't have but i was told i was doing an article about it and i was told that as every human being every being in the planet we don't have to kill the whole thing. to kill it all you know you've got me here. is suffering pressure for climate change because the climate in numbers are nice changing but also call for a lot of should recall 2 or. so you know that too little profit to very very small number of people who only bring this solution. for the water relation so
11:31 pm
the scientists that go along very nicely showing that it is possible to go to log a muslim in a sustainable way does not cost too much money we do need to have the political will to do mainly the issues not scientific people who leave to go. so you said and they didn't go which is why i want to come back in here because i want to share news that broke in earlier this month in august the beginning of august this headline was everywhere brazil scientists sacked after deforestation row with president we're talking about ricardo galileo he headed the government agency that revealed an increase in deforestation in the amazon and that was the space research agency this is what our community thinks of that firing rafael says he was clearly fired because he showed based in facts what is really happening with the amazon forest devastation of the forests increased to 178 percent comparison with the same period of last year but i want to share with you while scenarios
11:32 pm
words from his own mouth here is what he said in all this when it came to the facts of this report. if these figures were all true the amazon would have been devastated 3 times over during the past 20 years we have to combat it. psychologically after the figures came from inside from one of our organizations that is the big worry we have i even think that studying it more closely we should see that maybe people released this information in bad faith to damage the current government and harm brazil's image political hold him for the pain what did you make of that firing. well that's pure censorship but he's not only censoring science he's also sending a message to the ones who are on the ground in amazon you are allowed to the forest you are allowed to invade initial conditions out you are not allowed to kill you
11:33 pm
setters and violent explosion that's a message of good bosso not resigning to the case support this. never mind the law now isn't it time for. piracy it's the reality that you can see in the amazon today it's not for the station fire there is the movement i think women indigenous women today in brazilian marching for defending their territories it's a brother censorship from from the administration not only to get out of the oval but everyone who just went to live in their environment being this process as exact as opposed to mad it's trying to push. on that sense i would say i talked with the couple of government workers and as a generally 2nd set that's not what i think hard to reach someone in the government to have for example a quote and i got to speak to some government workers who are working on the which
11:34 pm
is the environmental agency to say so and they relayed was sleep just said that some of them have been indicated not to talk to the media that some of them are not talking to the press because the are worried they will be fired and they also told me that what they feel from the government he's a complete shutdown of communication between these agencies and the government so and also complete these beliefs of the scientific data which was what happened with the firing of the god caldwell so also a model and the minister of environment because it's all about denying these data they are saying that they are false and that they are both because they believe still ideology and a belief go will to overthrow the government and so these people are making the seita according to the president and since he's in the situation to convey a bad image of the president across brazil now even know you have said that means
11:35 pm
that these data is correct. yeah you know it's important to note that. you said you would. not open to wouldn't put before the station we have to all go to do list to 40 years taken all those years to fight all the ground so we had leaders who would not want you to want people to be called foreigners problem is that when. false you wish. to go over and for as you wrote now so be discreet let's see what this is really. the result science of. philippe you mentioned earlier the protests that are happening right now and i want to share with our audience what those look like because of course we have brazilian indigenous women who are marching all the way to. protest some of also merrill's
11:36 pm
policies and among them are these environmental policies have a look. you know some thank you. we will be here shouting women women women s.o.s. our fire is disappearing mother nature is asking for help and nobody's listening we need a shout s.o.s. for the defiant station of our land we need help we need to have visibility do you understand we're crying for help in a stampede in football. so philippe paolo here on twitter says brazil under the helm of all scenario has prioritise industry interests by mining and farming on indigenous lands and weakening environmental restrictions the development of the amazon poses a threat to the plethora of indigenous communities that live there talk to us about the specific incidences that have been happening with some of these communities. my 1st thing is i'm going to strike today defending education at the same time that
11:37 pm
i'm on strike defending dimas and we are all in the strike and. as a university in brazil it's. also not result of voting a new environmental licensing bill that she just wasn't to make it any easier for big money companies invading these are serious or this is not business this is the other thing the dispute what you want to open in the amazon is not new business because we were doing business before because our astronomers are going to let us know the beginning of his mandate on the 2nd day of his mandate but also not to try to move the responsibility of the marketing indigenous lens from the ministry of justice to the ministry of agriculture which has exactly the opposite interests of the indigenous communities and are using the generic people are on the forefront of these of these battles if you look at most of the green
11:38 pm
patches in the amazon they correspond either to natural reserves or to in the genetics reserves and it's a very unfair battle as they have been folding telling me as i told so we can be certain you know you are comparing these people who still eating the very thing. cattle you know you because miners for example that got me and some tractors and going. away off them it's not only just destroying reversed our forests mining since the beginning of the year we have seen killings we have seen stonings and i have seen that things they have seen you know schools wanting to just communities on fire and there was a peak increase of these all the electoral. votes a lot of fault per se but since the beginning of the year he's been saying a lot of a lot of his one. can come out and get to being separate said as very anti indigenous
11:39 pm
almost racist you know calling you just people prehistoric beings like you said on the same press conference you just use a quip probably right so you know these people are in fact that they are actually the last frontier of protecting the amazon not only of them and i should add that most agency workers even public servants even if they're the product of a government that they have under attack because most of the action. so me me i'm proud of how do i want to go to you with this because we just got a comment and that's a little bit of a push back to do the conversation we've been having this is luge is from brazil he writes i think it is a it is good for the economy if we do a more careful approach to this for business i think we can be careful and don't defer cause deforestation without thinking about the consequences the english is a little bit broken there but you get his point though he says that there is a business case to be made here. is of course there are
11:40 pm
a lot of very good experienced enough long enough that a lot of the reason we don't just going to do was think that. if you strike a spoonful of their report released that it is not to go resource just for the profits for very very few. quarters so be sure you have fighting under the messiah if a good point is to make the economy grow but then you destroy the scrubber it kind of backfired. yeah you know. in many ways we want to. reduce you. to one so basically it's. short but i'm. very. lucky to spot this kind of political party
11:41 pm
development. and. sustainable development for almost do you know i want to share with you all a comment one moment i want to share with you all the comment because you took the time to send it to us and it's interesting philippe i'll direct it to you he comes from amazon watches same as i r 10 best but he me he's an indigenous biologist from the kind gang people and a consultant with the group amazon watch and he has this message for the international community we than the originals movement of brazil we represent the truth and the future and the government represents a total opposite he present destruction and sent back and he will do everything to force his agenda and attack his opponents he try to diligent the mice all those who disagree he wheat his sorry tarryl ridging that does not respect brazilian people and their diversity and the environment wealth of the contrary so we call
11:42 pm
for international solidarity to help us spread the misdeeds of this government always trying to create fake news today for attention from he's irresponsible acts . so philippe he calls for international solidarity will he get it do you think that the rest of the world the international community realizes how important this is. i'm sure he will we're not going to let them as i'm be destroyed he was precise the indians are fighting for the future their fight for the future generations when you talk about these most movement in brazil we're not talking about the best we're talking about the future truly speaking the tipping point that you mention here is a ready happening the shingle part is absolute so route that by sawyer. plantation it's a force there has been this right where the indians are defending the future of the
11:43 pm
forest is the future of brazil. is to protect the possibility for future generations to live in this country. and yet we've got this here you're talking about the future and something hopeful but i want to share this tweet from someone who says there is little to nothing that can be done about the amazon climate change is dangerously rail and deforestation is carelessly an ending we our our own nemesis. do you share his sentiment or do you have a little bit more hope because it has been done before that the rates of deforestation have gone down in brazil before ya know i'm not besame it's like in this mess h. because we sure that to the international community to gather with you brazilians we will reverse de strange this has happened as you mention brazil has a very nice story of reducing the forestation from fall from 28000 square kilometers in 2003 to only 4000 square kilometers in 2012 right now
11:44 pm
we've doubled that number to 8000 instead of people be to the 2080 chill basically this shows is it possible to reverse the deforestation but these need these policies that should be applied on our long term this should be. options for the local population and also should be legislation for the big island on it not to destroy them asunder but instead to develop a sustainable development for the regions and many very good experiences showed that this can be done does not cost too much money. it is the promise of the government to develop the amazon in a sustainable way so i think we'll just have to went into effect will be applied in the future but i have to say that the international community might have a very important role in this i mean we've seen how people have reacted to palm oil
11:45 pm
to plastic around the world sourcing big you know environmental consciousness in the world and there are already products on the shelves that we consume every day crude coconut oil and so many that come from brazil come from sustainable development but i think in the moment that people realize that these products we are consuming come from illegal trade and not fair trade as we have promised i think there's going to be an international reaction to these product and even in sweden you has happened in a very small scale that these very small supermarket has banned brazilian could and has created a campaign called got caught because you conclude just approached us that they were receiving products promised us create trade and they were not so i think the international community might have a role in this i think people will react and we'll lot of except this is happening and also our good rock want to all to do is cry and you are not the only one that thinks that is all the time we have for now but i do want to share this because
11:46 pm
you're not alone this person on twitter says this is not a concern of only brazilians but of the world amazon is the lungs of the world we should stand and say no to these policies thank you so much for joining us today philippe paolo and leon that's all the time we have but we'll see one line. i am fly qatar airways and experience economy class like never before qatar
