yemen's host the rebels say they were behind the drone strikes of the u.s. and saudi are blaming iran a senior military adviser to iran's supreme leader is defending the attack on saudi oil facilities. tory operation yemenis in fact carried out a legitimate defense of them selves against a process that killed their children the reality is that america and its allies and agree says against palestine and yemen have become tired and worn out economically militarily and politically their policies were wrong and failed the repudiation of america and its allies is declining. iran's foreign minister says sadly arabia and the united arab emirates want to fight iran to the last american. was responding to the us secretary of state who accused iran of threatening all out war in the gulf and attacks against americans. the reports from teheran. drone and missile
11:01 pm
attacks on saudi oil facilities last week iranian leaders say the only reason the u.s. and saudi arabia are blaming them is because the alternative is too embarrassing that yemen's hoopy fighters were capable of carrying out such a destructive military operation. but the saudis say the drones and missiles direction of travel recover debris the capacity of the technology used in these attacks all draw a straight line back to tehran foreign ministers of odds are it has said of the iran co-incident is used as an excuse to attack his country iran won't think twice about defending itself. he also warned u.s. president donald trump not to listen to his saudi allies who would march into war with iran for their own sake they should pray that they won't get what they seek they're still paying for a much smaller a human war that they were too arrogant in 4 years ago for those hoping for cooler heads to prevail the rhetoric coming from to iran of widespread and destructive
11:02 pm
retaliation is worrying and an indication of how far the u.s. and iran have come from the negotiating table but the reality is iran's position is nothing new the promise of a kind of mutually assured destruction of american assets and allies in the region has been standing policy for years and iranian experts say is keeping iran's enemies at bay what is new is how frequent and assertive the message from iranian leaders has become a signal perhaps that there is real concern into iran that some kind of u.s. aggression may now be closer than ever on a visit to saudi arabia the u.s. secretary of state described the oil facility attacks as an act of war and promised more economic sanctions on iran and there will be more sanctions. we we have set about a course of action to deny iran the capacity and the wealth so that they can conduct their terror said to provoke to prevent them from conducting their terror campaigns
11:03 pm
and you can see from the events of last week there's still more work to do we're going to continue to drive towards that end. you cannot fail to see the failed policy of giving money to this regime but what happened. saudi arabia those opposed to the saudi led war in yemen now in its 4th year see the incident very differently the who has dismissed the saudi version of events describing the attack as an example of how their own newly developed weapons can now reach targets far beyond yemen's borders and they warned if the saudi led coalition won't stop dropping bombs on yemen then coalition countries should be prepared for more of the same leaders here in iran have been quick to remind the world that it was yemen's hooty fighters that claimed responsibility for the attacks last week on saudi oil infrastructure the who these no doubt consider these attacks not as an act of war by iran as the americans would see it but as retaliation for an ongoing saudi war that was sparked by a saudi led invasion and that's the line being pushed by iran's leaders as well.
11:04 pm
still ahead on al-jazeera we meet somalia's new elite force ready to take on a. hello good it's good to be back well here across china things looking quite nice as we end the week and go into the weekend but we are watching some storms pushing here in the pacific now that storm is tropical storm tapa it is to the east of taiwan right now and it is strengthening we do expect it becoming a typhoon as we go towards sunday we could be seeing some storm surge across the eastern coast of china maybe some rip currents as well but for the most part most of china here is going to be under fair skies plenty of sun in the forecast even
11:05 pm
for hong kong down here we are looking at a nice day for you on sunday with a temperature of 31 degrees well here across india the monsoon is withdrawing and we are seeing a lot of dry conditions up here towards the north so new delhi you are going to be in that area but as we go down towards the south we're going to see some scattered showers here across mumbai up towards in a purse well kokoda you'll be in and out of the rain here as we go towards we can probably more rain by the time we get towards sunday new delhi though that's where we could see a shower a few where the temperature there of $32.00 degrees and then here in doha well expect the middy in the morning to be quite clear significant we're going to see very uncomfortable conditions very humid conditions but by the time we get to the afternoon it is going to dry out we do expect to see a temperature on saturday of $39.00 and over towards abu dhabi plenty of sun but the tempter of $37.00.
11:06 pm
so i can see. and experience the world like never before. going places together. and watching i'll just 0 time to recap on headlines now the largest climate change protest in history is taking place around the world people from more than 150 countries are joining us strike led by young people and calling for an end to the use of fossil fuels it begins
11:07 pm
a weeklong worldwide campaign demanding great reaction from political leaders extensive damage has been revealed that both saudi arabian oil facilities attacked last week this footage is from the world's largest all processing facility the attack. the emir of qatar is in london where he's been meeting with britain's prime minister a statement from downing street says shaikh to mean bin hamad. and boris johnson agreed the war in yemen must come to an end they also discussed the recent attacks on the aramco oil facilities in saudi arabia the statement also mentions they shared concern over iran's stabilizing behavior. thank you for. your persian rugs you should remember years ago you visit i did and yes the relationship because there is
11:08 pm
a very strong relationship. with the swedish. book oh yes you can also see. that the embargo has more from london now well beyond trade interests which are extensive between the u.k. and qatar with qatar providing up to 30 percent of the u.k.'s gas imports the 2 main clearly did discuss events in the region a statement from the emir of qatar as office says that they discussed several emerging issues in the middle east especially the developments in the gulf so no detail from the qatari side now a statement from boris johnson's office says that they discussed as well as the need for the war in yemen to come to an end the recent attacks on aramco oil facilities in saudi arabia it goes on a shared concern over iran's destabilizing behavior and agreed the importance of
11:09 pm
negotiation in deescalating regional tensions while the potteries clearly in their statement did not talk about iran's destabilizing behavior it's unclear how far they went in using similar language during the meeting but iran has been one of qatar's partners especially since the embargo placed on qatar in terms of continuing trade into qatar so an interesting divergence there but clearly both sides want to avoid any kind of military escalation in the gulf region they haven't actually come out with any steps but at least we know that they are talking about how to get all sides talking rather than blaming each other. the u.s. justice department is being accused of playing a major role in reportedly withholding a whistle blower's complaint against the us president according to u.s. media that complaint related to a phone call between donald trump and
11:10 pm
a foreign leader the head of the u.s. house intelligence committee says officials were blocked from passing it on to congress president has called the reports though fake news let's get the latest from our white house correspondent kimberly halkett some details are emerging in those reports involving the ukraine or more do we know about this. only know is this is overshadowing a state visit between the u.s. president and the australian prime minister scott morrison they are here at the white house and we are expecting them to speak perhaps very soon not just in the oval office but later at a joint news conference but in the midst of all of this our howling geisha is our number on the side of the trumpet ministration certainly we are concerned that this is here in the united states something that many americans feel may be of concern given the fact that there are reports that the justice department as you point out
11:11 pm
has been blocking the u.s. congress from its legitimate oversight bill it is and that is in terms of investigating these allegations that the u.s. president may have given confidential classified information to a foreign leader we suspect that it is ukraine according to reporting and this has been of concern to many americans not just the voting public but also on capitol hill the u.s. president tweeting about this saying that to the radical left democrats the fake news media howard hughes ing him of a dicey conversation but he says that this is a complaint from a highly partisan whistle blower nothing wrong with the call it was pitch perfect well we'll hear more from the u.s. president then there is the opportunity for not only u.s. president but also the ukrainian leader to meet at the outcome a u.n. general assembly on september 25th or i can believe how could that thanks so much
11:12 pm
but i'm of u.s. soldiers in somalia has increased on the president donald trump one of the jobs involves training a local group to become an elite force to take almost. a correspondent hunted out a lot of 1st time look the so-called long training. these are the new frontlines in the fight against al shabaab in somalia. and these are the men taking that fight to the armed groups strongholds the united states has at least $500.00 switches in this country but it's trained and paid for somali troops to form the deneb unit or lightning falls. apart from our operations against al shabaab fighters to retake territories and of you control we also target their assassins bomb builders and those who kidnapped foreigners in our country we also try to raise the spies in those who provide them with arms and other supplies of. somali government officials say this elite force is comprised of soldiers from
11:13 pm
almost all of somalia's colognes deneb units of killed some of those shops in the early days and in areas that were taken from the al qaeda linked group they're winning the support of local people how they would out sent me the money and things are much better than before in terms of security we're not living in fear anymore the soldiers eclipse and we're forever thankful to the government the den a brigade was launched as a $150.00 plus and unit roughly 5 years ago but has since grown to become one of somalia's most used military forces while u.s. forces in somalia cut out al strikes and drone attacks against al shabaab fighters it's these forces who've been carrying out the bulk of the ground assault against the group official say the plan is to develop done up into a full so free fall the soldiers capable of removing all shabab fighters from towns
11:14 pm
and villages across the country. the regular somali national army is him in the fighting. we have achieved many victories we spent a lot of time preparing for the current offensive against al shabaab but it was worth the wait we have liberated many towns and villages in the past months. the somali national army needs more recruits to all states rungs these training camp in the small town of greer al in central somalia is just one of a few across the country by next year 22000 african union peacekeepers expected to begin pulling out of somalia and it will fall to these soldiers to take over the tusk of keeping security and fighting al shabab. goodell is central somalia. thousands of algerians have returned to the streets for the 1st 31st week in a row to demand an end to the current regime. rights

11:16 pm
social media are planning to trespass on to a secretive u.s. military base hijo castro reports from rachel nevada. it all started as a joke university student matty roberts had been bored at work so to entertain himself he turned on his computer in created a meme about a pretend event he imagined on the spot. of an istari $51.00 they can't stop all of us area $51.00 is a top secret u.s. military base in the nevada desert it's where the cia developed spy planes at the height of the cold war and where classified military testing continues today but some believe this is also where the u.s. government studies aliens you can imagine that if indeed there is an alien race with the technology to be able to arrive here on our planet their knowledge would be very useful to us so it's very possible the rumors have always been that we
11:17 pm
might be in collaboration with some off world intelligence conspiracies are enjoying a resurgence in american pop culture then enter roberts me about to be something funny for the 62 followers that i had on my page and apparently i was completely correct and it was funny to the entire world so funny that more than 2000000 people or is it online for the september 20th a vent of course not all those millions of people will show up but hotel rooms and campsites have sold out in this very remote area and nearby desert towns used to supporting populations of no more than 100 are bracing for a potential onslaught of as many as 10000 alien hunters who will bring with them their very human needs there's nowhere to find food water or gas for tens of kilometers 2 counties have issued emergency declarations ahead of the event and the
11:18 pm
u.s. military says it will of rest anyone who trespasses on to area 51 as the signs warn lethal force is authorized. those who disobey so what does roberts think of storming the base now but i think it's terrible. yes the creator of storm area 51 is telling people not to storm area 51 but it may be too late because of one some things launched into the great unknown of cyberspace it may return with alien life . castro al-jazeera rachel nevada. and let's take you through the headlines now the largest climate change protest in history is taking place around the world people from more than 150 countries are joining a strike led by young people and calling for an end to the use of fossil fuels it begins a week long worldwide campaign demanding greater action from political leaders
11:19 pm
dominic cain has the latest from berlin. all generations have been very peacefully making their point here in berlin going through the main part of the city through the landmarks the brandenburg gate the owners of in the main avenue in the center of with placards with slogans chanting slogans making sure people get the message from them which is very clear change your policy now extensive damage has been revealed both saudi arabian oil facilities attacked last week this is footage from the world's largest all processing facility the attack knocked out of saudi arabia's output saudi authorities earlier allowed media into the small of a site saudi aramco has announced it will bring oil production back up to full capacity by the end of september. the rebels say they were behind the 2 drone strikes the u.s. and saudi blaming iran and senior military adviser to iran's supreme leader is
11:20 pm
defending the attack on saudi oil facilities. tory operation yemenis in fact carried out a legitimate defeats of the selves against a process that killed their children the reality is that america and its allies and aggressors against palestine and yemen have become tired and worn out economically militarily and politically their policies were wrong and failed the repudiation of america and its allies is declining the amir of qatar is in london he's been meeting with britain's prime minister a statement from downing street says shaikh to mean bin hamad fanny and boris johnson agreed the war in yemen must come to an end they also discussed the recent attacks on the ram co all facilities in saudi arabia they shared concern over iran's destabilizing behavior and agreed on the importance of negotiations in the
11:21 pm
escalating regional tensions it's the stream next stay with us here on al-jazeera. one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much input and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know it's the return of the body particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues. the people believe that tell the real story so i'll just mend it used to deliver journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. we are told to recycle cycle and down cycle we're told to ditch the straws and forego plastic cups and we reiterate to our kids the rinse and reuse montra but can any of these efforts really prevent climate change i mean ok and i'm really could
11:22 pm
be valid today our coverage of the covering climate now initiative continues with the debate around the climate crisis should we stop pretending we can prevent it but are we really pretending that that is that of the 8 so tweet us your thoughts on your comments in a live chat and you can in the street. oh man you say you know. it is and you are in. a recent essay in the new yorker by american novelist jonathan franzen sparked a viral argument online about climate change here's what it said the climate apocalypse is coming to prepare for it we need to admit that we can't prevent it as you might imagine that didn't sit well with a lot of people including climate scientists which friends and is not and a twitter storm ensued the debate centered around prevention adaptation and conservation it's an important conversation who is ultimately responsible for
11:23 pm
preventing climate change and is it even possible joining us to discuss this in new york genevieve she's the founder of end climate science that's an organization aimed at starting conversations about the impacts of climate change in vail colorado on main coney he's a peace and climate change activist who also ran for the u.s. senate and congress on the green new deal in colorado and in north carolina sarah peach a senior editor at climate connections and author of the ask sarah climate advice column however what it's good to see let us start in fiji with perhaps a little glimpse into the future have a look at this video. when i go in the middle of the guardian i'm with. my job is to dig. even snorkeling. before feed the.
11:24 pm
big no more to either you. see a lot of. relief we're starting to. and started to. this is a big problem. amazing really. he's talking about the possibilities the future your climate activists and the eco hasn't given up quite yet have you no not at all this matter of fact tomorrow i'm at a climate story march and i'm going to be speaking there are i 6 worked we're all here for what we all agree on is affect the climate change is real 'd the discussion is real and i'm here to talk about the solutions because what the scientists avoid out for us is that we have 11 years and i would say that we've already reached their point in time it could be 5 years ago be one year but we have to start acting about solutions now and how are we going to get our leaders and our politicians to start
11:25 pm
putting men and woman in those changes of media. jenny it sounds like ok now we have to do stuff we have to be pragmatic scientists move aside what's your response . well i'm not sure you can have as i have a summer i need to yes i'm a human being and besides i think he's saying that in fact as going to thunder it says we need to unite behind the science and band together in order to force the people in power to take the lead and make the public investments that need to be make so we can decarbonise our global economy in time to halt warming at a manageable level. i'm just wondering sara. available to people to ask issues that they have of climate and climate change if you will detecting a mood or an attitude where. people who are trying to get some odd sense
11:26 pm
a feeling depressed and feeling that that may not be hope and they may not be an end to climate action where they can actively do something. absolutely i have questions in the past few months will there be famine and how sick will this make me and also i just answered a question of. person in york city was extremely worried about this she was wondering whether she should even bother thinking about her retirement from her career later in life because she was so afraid of what is going to happen with these issues so how do you answer them how do you answer. for my retirement i am excited that. there is a lot to be worried about. that there are also things that you and it's not time to get up. and so because there is a lot to be worried about that is what this conversation really seems to be
11:27 pm
currently and has been for the past couple of days i would say. the question then is what do we prioritize do we prioritize adaptation or do we prioritize prevention and trying to stop climate change from moving forward forward this is one answer we got from someone online bear on twitter who says both should be done but i doubt if it can be done equally it seems as if we have gone too far for some preventative measures so in my considered view adaptation should be prioritized wherever possible and prevention wherever possible are and i want to give this one to you because adaptation of course comes 1st in her answer there what's your take on that should we be trying to adapt to what we know is coming. well you know the the scientist and the i.p.c.c. the intergovernmental panel on climate port to knock over changed my life 4 years ago aren't for u.s. 'd senate and the green don't deal with iran at it again now because of the sun
11:28 pm
race movement because new consensus we have an entirely different kind of perception and it's from the sun earth and we're seeing in 7 hours of presidential climate forums on this topic we have to have a multi-pronged approach what i think is very important is that we have they have set a goal 'd that doesn't again it doesn't matter if it's 20302050 if you could measure if you can manage it we've got to work inside of their goal and what i've seen as a person who was a county commissioner for 8 years and have worked in and really leaned on a lot of politicians a lot of the new your liberal politicians and democratic establishment politicians those there's no such thing as the time for incrementalism i would say delay or certain ayers and that is the conversation that we should be having late now because what the scientists have laid out for us is the goal what we are looking at knows which way should we do that you can absolutely not prioritize adaptation
11:29 pm
yet adaptation is 100 percent necessary for these frontline communities and for people in the global south who are already suffering some nearly from climate change and even being killed as we know the bahamian islands were completely destroyed by hurricane dorian who was startled and made wetter by the effects of climate change so in order for there to be any kind of climate justice we have to include adaptation in any kind of climate policy but there is no adaptation to a world that has heated up past 33.5 or 4 degrees celsius 4 degree celsius is the difference between the last ice age and now and the last ice age there was a. glacier a mile thick over manhattan so imagine the eco system a transformation that would happen if we heated our planet 4 degree celsius on top
11:30 pm
of what we are now we cannot afford to do that our 1st priority must always be to end the fossil fuel era transition our energy industry transportation and agricultural systems to and net and 0 system as absolutely a soon as possible and that's exactly where i'm going with this is how are we going to end the fossil fuel era when you have people like senator schumer and senator and congresswoman pelosi who won't take on the green new deal who continue to take money from the fossil fuel industry and we watch the media ask questions about whether or not we're going to lose or hamburgers the time as you know in order to get off to fossil fuel and that's why i would submit that we have to go after the leadership or the lack of leadership that is going on right now and make them make the hard decisions of whether or not they're going to say they're willing to ban fracking but they're willing to step to that it was on social whether or not that
11:31 pm
only right. and i mean they're going to put this 60 trillion dollars or 5 trillion dollars genevieve this week and then twitter that in order to bail out the banks of course 16 trillion dollars ernie sanders deals out in 16 trillion dollars we have the money we had on i'm just going to keep this will take opposing a preference by when not to ease my osc sahra why do we need international community is what i have in i'm not shell. well we need to complete it we didn't bother getting rid of all fossil fuels are out and also taking care of it we're basing it on the u.s. . proposal that's been put out it would also mean taking care of people who have been harmed in the process of getting rid of his philosophy ewell's and of course that was cheap and normal collaboration across the whole world but.
11:32 pm
we've seen from some resistance for example in france that it really seems very important very democratic leaders and other leaders around the world to think about how people are going to be affected by this enormous transition that the scientists say must equinix well some of those women stray chanson fran it's interesting to hear that but if you have a pulse just one moment if you would because i want to bring in our community here this is such a fascinating debate i want to make sure their voice is included as while i'm picking up on the point that you all are making and it is if there is collaboration global car collaboration and if there is government accountability call our audience skeptics and me included that they don't think that's going to happen so this is mercy on twitter and says as long as our governments refuse to hold major corporations damaging the environment accountable and they start putting major resources towards trying to reverse the damage we're doing there is no hope with the amazon still burning our decade has gone up so she mentions mercy mentions the
11:33 pm
amazon i'll bring this here tension the amazon is burning what you need to know this was the headlines not too long ago another fire that many people may not have heard as much about was the indonesian fires for inspires talking in southeast asia we got a video comment from someone who this directly a faction in indonesia and she talks about what life has been like for her have a listen. how glad and speaking i could welcome to my home as the bunny for the past 2 months and displaced by. killing people as happens for today to hit us so now i'm calling for justice for clearly and guess you'll have to get that so our hope that's that that's the thing that came up in that 1st tweet me you see a manual on talking to us from indonesia where it's affecting her life where is the hope to have hope what will i think i don't have to say something before this woman from indonesia know it in may i please finish my comment i actually didn't way and
11:34 pm
i brought her in and it is that it is a conversation and so i would love to hear you think but i also want to hear our viewpoint on hope so let let let our finish his thought and then you can jump in. i think i want to be a realist here and say i don't have hope i have kids and i've been fighting for this for many years i've been up to standing mark but i would say in terms of the person who weighed in hearers you should understand that there are millions of american several lies that our political system is an oligarchy that we have oil and gas companies that are running our comfort right now and that there are people who are willing to get out in the streets who are willing to speak truth to power and we need more and more more of those voices and it's starting to happen tomorrow that people have to stop start saying that we have to stop subsidizing the oil and gas industry that we have to stop playing footsie with there are democrats who 'd are in power who think that they're going to change our help us with the bait in
11:35 pm
climate change but in reality they're not because they're working 'd with the oil gas industry and one more willing to speak truth to power are more willing to expose their records then we're going to get to the next level of composer implementing change just if. yes i want to go back to what you said before which was holding our government accountable and forcing them to hold corporations accountable is not going to happen i don't know why anyone would say that. in that sort of casual offhand way if we don't do this transition if we don't band together and use our collective labor power and our collective talents our collective political power in a democracy to force our governments to get carbonized our economies hundreds of millions of people or maybe billions of people are going to die so to shrug it off
11:36 pm
and say oh yeah that's not going to happen is not only a claim that is not based on any empirical evidence because you're making predictions about the future you're actually just treating the genocide of people who had nothing to do with creating the climate crisis as something you can just shrug off 7 and that's morally. toxic it's an abomination we have a moral obligation to use our power as citizens in a democratic nation and in democratic countries across the world to hold our leaders accountable because we cannot recycle our way 'd out of this crisis we cannot reduce our own personal carbon footprints and nothing to stop climate change the number one producer of greenhouse gases is industrial production of electricity and that is something that has to be transformed through public private partnerships and investments by governments that will make new technologies new grids and new markets and if the only thing i just bring in sara is i hear what you
11:37 pm
say so you have been reporting on this area for a decade or so tell our international audience in terms of action climate action that you are seeing that is having an impact what would you pick to show. i would point to that and bird now and the center ice movement that's got a tremendous amount of attention. so we're going to united states there are some organizations that are working to organize people in every congressional district and you know i get this kind of question a lot from readers and from friends and family what's the most important thing that i can be doing you know should i eat less meat should i change my light bulbs and at this point my answer is it gets engaged in government and it's the number one thing that people can do as an as individuals to address this issue so political will on. well i want to just speak to
11:38 pm
a side deal of why we're having this conversation why it's front and center because students said to nancy pelosi you saw office and now the center of president cortez got involved and because brianna going right architected agreeing need you know oh i knew i had it all made as in the united states and you'll find me in d.c. not far from the right and you know that i'm sorry so what we're what i'm so stoked on is that we're watching activists actually doing sit ins actually getting into the streets were seen that type of action in france and we're seeing that in london the type of protests that are going on in hong kong that's what it's going to take those are the individual types of things i've been arrested in washington d.c. trying to fight for change and it's hard it's difficult it means amazing sacrifice what i'm trying to say is the type of sacrifice that heats to be done by 4 percent
11:39 pm
5 percent of the world's population that is and getting 15 percent of its carbon emissions is we have to admit they kept lism is not going to get us to the solution that we are going to have to use a hybrid version in order to make this change in the kynde to to to my friends in the science community that i embrace and try to advocate so are for every single day as they have given us a very short time frame that when i was running for u.s. senate 4 years ago and if we're going to implement this it's not going to happen under a trumpet ministration it's not going to happen $134.00 states in the united states earn republican control and our federal judicial branches and the control of corporatists unless we get out there and we didn't speak towards the type of solutions and demand the solutions are implemented in terms of legislation that our corporations are changing now in immediately and then they stop funding oil and gas or persians than they ever cultural system. there are no employees that are
11:40 pm
literally cutting off my dog or money so does future from the one that i have my ancestry soviet so i'm. medically right now i'm trying to think very realistic 'd 'd. but near it appears to be sharper towards the solution. 'd to. all. the streets and. i think it's that type of thinking that i'm seeing online and so earlier genevieve you've mentioned a morally toxic viewpoint which for our audience and i think that they would take issue with thought because i'm speaking on behalf of them i will take issue with it on their behalf i want to share with you a few comments from people so this is lie this is on you tube michael says the greedy corporations and governments don't care about the climate period grow up we are going to be on our own other people want us to bring in the idea that the people affected the most are not the people who are at the table so this is
11:41 pm
soliloquy on twitter who says this is a mass made by 1st world but the most impacted are the developing countries most of who depend on nature for irrigation etc and one more that i'll bring in on twitter this is someone who says i like that you're putting in context location specifics while adaptation will be considered a priority the african continent for them 0 net it measures europe may have to focus more on mitigation should they be what will you say to those people i agree with all of that i take no issue with that whatsoever that countries in africa and in the global south who have had no hand in creating this crisis will need to focus on adaptation and the 1st world polluters have to. pay to take responsibility for creating this crisis and donate money through the green climate fund to assist in that taishan but that's not in contrast to focusing on global mitigation and i don't see how that's morally toxic what to me is
11:42 pm
a moral abomination is the idea that we shouldn't bother fighting we shouldn't bother trying to stop corporations and governments from collaborating in propping up the fossil fuel economy because we don't have any power and they're not going to listen to us anyway and if we have been for anything let us very way in here with a comment from the united secretary in isolation setting general antonio to 10 ish he was talking about where are we right now with climate action when we need to be here this week have a look have a listen business cannot success succeeds on a planet that fails and jobs cannot be sustained on a dying planet and there are many more initiatives to come they will all be presented at the summit and that designed to be expended so they can have the global effect the climate crisis the men's leave governments businesses and people everywhere to join these efforts so we can put climate texans into high gear

. so unless feels like there's something about human rights the way that we approach other questions that maybe we cannot see. that it is indicative of where we might be with the action of the next couple of years what have you come to conclude from all the questions that you're being asked and how far along we are in terms of taking action. you know i think. i want to address a really common misconception in this is something that came up in france and article which is a lot of people think that there's some kind of on our switch with our climate system and that if we get go too far then it's often we all die and that's absolutely not true as we just heard there are are going to be huge impacts economic growth that we keep going the way we're going but every 10 degree matters and every everything that we do to limit warming

the u.s. capitol. well d.c. mobilization is just about to get underway the protesters have gathered behind me were a few blocks away from capitol hill the marches about to begin to gather them near congress where they're demanding change from washington is leaders and one of the protesters is with me now and taylor is here why do you think the politicians on capitol hill all being so slow to act given that the science of climate change the urgency is proven all if you look behind here you can see thousands of you. under the age of 18 you have to really understand that at the end of the day the adults are the reason that we're here in the 1st place you know that they messed up and now they have to really sit and think about the fact that they could have fixed this they could have prevented this and now that we are telling them that it's time to do it they're scared i think it's an idea of fear that we are speaking up about it when it should have been i think the fact that you know the old saying you made your bed and now you have to lay in it i think this gets
11:54 pm
a play in the bed because they realize that this could have been solved years ago but this is washington things are things that simple is it just fear or is it about something you know some of the politics is is a strange business it is i think it's maybe i don't know the idea of like they don't know how do you know where to start. because there's so many things like the amazon has been burning for a while now the conversations are just starting about it the rising sea levels it's like well how do we fix this i think the idea of like not only here but not no matter how not knowing where to start and honestly not wanting to just not want to put in the money in the hard work to actually fix the earth that we are living on right i guess we are going to some of these are pretty specific. it's the role that big fossil fuel companies have to have a lot of money and there's a lot of that money floating around in washington wrote they profit off of us dying the crap other was trading in the pages that greed and power much influence on how they work and how they work in the cab is just a big conspiracy on how would they really value the day value the lives of the

money they make. so much the march is just about to get under way i can see the marshals getting everyone organized will follow it with you and keep in touch with us we will indeed you have returns in d.c. thanks right now let's go to the german capital our correspondent there is dominic cain and dominant what sort of scenes if you see him in the in berlin today. here in the german capital many tens of thousands of people of all generations all ages of march through the streets carrying their placards chanting slogans saying that they demand action to combat climate change the point here is that this country has had real commitment issues in so far as the political elite is concerned about achieving targets that governments have signed up to that's something that the green movement here very very keen to stress how important it
11:56 pm
was that politicians from as it were and the government of angle americal climate cabinet as she called it has agreed to what they call the new climate package and you clear it's going to cost billions multi 1000000000 dollars to bring about change in this country over the course of the next 1011 years flight prices will go up for airline passengers but those traveling on trains will pay less there will be a rise perhaps in the cost of fuel for private motor vehicle users the question is how will people who have been protesting on friday react to this news the green party in part. it is bitterly disappointed with what has been agreed by the coalition government in germany as i say the question is for the protesters what they make of what this is. where i don't live in berlin thank you for that let's go now to the amazon forest and latin america editor there you see a new men and lucy
11:57 pm
a start by telling us exactly where you are in brazil of course of the scene of those terrible forest fires that concern so many people at the time. yes martin we are standing right outside them yet another property that has been charred by the wildfires that have been spreading all over the amazon i mean my feel good all saw the owner of the property invited us to leave just a few minutes ago but i can tell you that deeper inside what was a lush forest state it is much much worse than what you're seeing now and this continues to spread all over the amazon model but also is the state with the highest percentage of wildfires this year but jury asli it is the only one with that where that will not have a protest or a strike for the climate today other states though like us how volatile and real. are expecting to have large large demonstrations later on in the afternoon here
11:58 pm
this is also the hottest state in the whole country it is now 43 degrees i can tell you it is roasting here and one of the reasons of course is the increase in the forest in the in the fires that have been burning much of the tropical forest here in this part of the country it is around $43.00 degrees i think i said and they've declared a state of emergency because of the fires the smoke that is continuing to do affect people's lungs their hells and of course the forest itself so it isn't quite a dire situation an interesting thing though although the protests apparently are not going to have much of an impact on president. who does not believe in the whole theory of climate change and he doesn't believe in the science behind it either we are now seeing that some of the largest investors in brazil more than 230 international investors who will make up for who will come who have
