against climate change and most of them were younger or very young even children came out with their parents here to participate in the rally against. the rain that they were very passionate about it and they say that colombia remains particularly. danger when it comes to the consequences of changing the climate so that droughts and floods have become worse here and the country become more severe and the last decades and not the major issue of course is the protection of the amazon region while colombia hasn't seen the widespread wildfires that have affected the brazil or bolivia deforestation is a huge issue here it's becoming worse every year and people are asking the government president about to do more both locally and internationally to protect

the amazon and participate globally in the fight against. the changing of the climate thank you very much alexander i'm betty in bogota for us. a reminder we have a new show here at al-jazeera which will focus on the climate emergency and the impact on all of our lives planet s.o.'s will debut this saturday at 1730 g.m.t. and here's a taste of what's to come our planet is feeling the heat of the climate an ecological emergency the world's leading scientists are warning of an existential crisis in the face of irreversible changes to the earth's climate al-jazeera prince to a new weekly show planet s.o.s. will set out the facts on the science behind the issues affecting our planet's planet has so us at this time on al-jazeera. well on a day of global environmental protests scientists are preparing to embark on a year long expedition to the arctic to better understand climate change the ice

breaker vessel with earth sail from a tom so in northern norway and what's expected to be the longest project of its kind hundreds of rotating researchers from 19 countries will spend the next year near the north pole. well the u.k. prime minister in charge backs it says he's optimistic following a meeting with the european union's chief negotiator stephen barclay says there is a common purpose between the u.k. and the e.u. the talks focused on the contentious irish border issue negotiations are set to continue on monday and that's when prime minister boris johnson meets the e.u. council president donald tusk in new york for the u.n. general assembly where we had serious detailed discussions today we receive only a nice team common purpose we both want to see you a very clear message has been given both by president young and in the prime minister you want to see the teams reach a deal the meeting actually overrun which signals of that we were getting into the

detail and would have further discussions this week. farmers in our land are getting worried about what will happen to them after brags that most of their food produce is exported to the u.k. lawrence lee has this report we're just about now radio truck here it's called the irish national planning championships but in reality it's more a celebration of farming showing just how seriously they take it on the island of oil and the men driving the tractors star state says here. oh yes terrorism was a job always people are irish national heroes they were 3 days a 3rd of a 1000000 visitors inspect the machinery and the livestock it's all in the blood and given that arlen exports 90 percent of all the food it produces much of it to the u.k. the idea of the new border cutting the island into is a nightmare there's

a real possibility that the family firm would not survive to her. complete potential maybe there's a lot of promises made some of them are still ones critique may be from above given the level of indebtedness that's out. how much do you think find out what the british government wants to achieve at this point is vague at your best but it seems to accept the huge importance of irish food to the u.k. politicians use phrases like the all ireland food economy which most people don't understand in practical terms it's much simpler so it appears bracks it has come down to this the british government says it's happy for meats from that how to pass on checks through the irish border but not surprisingly that piece of farming equipment over there and if that's appears ridiculously picky it's also the case of the british government doesn't seem to realise that that would be completely unacceptable about the irish governments and the european union the agriculture

minister turned up to take questions there wasn't a single british journalist there there's almost no attempt to understand the irish position in terms of the volume of trade from the republican ordinarily in the region 700000000 and something slightly less coming from north south and the granular detail of that is you know. 10 percent of the pool is processed from the northern end of the public 400000 sheep consoled for his daughter a give you a myriad of statistics so the continuation of the economy is really important to us and those politicians who represent voters around. border insisted if the u.k. can't figure out what it wants it should let irish people decide for themselves this is why people say. it could lead to a united ireland so the choices are stark the british government. accept the backstop and the minimal protections that it provides in order to ensure that we don't have a hardening of the border or that give the people in the north of ireland

a choice as to which union they want to be part of didn't want to be part of the dysfunctional so-called united kingdom or didn't want to declare than the previous referendum part of the european union the essential contradiction of brics it remains that the u.k. wants to shut itself off from the european union while keeping its border with the e.u. any ideas proposed by the irish to square that circle have been ruled unacceptable in london and yet here they are still waiting for the british prime minister to come up with something else instead. and. now the america has met with the british prime minister boris johnson in london a statement from downing street says shaikh. honey and johnson agreed the war in yemen must come to an end. for the. personal relationship 3 years ago and business you do your. relationship

because there is a very strong relationship. with the. book you know. and that he has more from london. 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 men clearly did discuss events in the region or 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 the 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 around coke oil facilities in saudi arabia it goes on a shared concern over iran's destabilizing behavior and agreed the importance of

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. twitter says it's removed more than 4 and a half 1000 political spam accounts being used to target qatar and a coordinated campaign they were operating out of the united arab emirates and egypt and used fake profiles to push content critical of qatar while promoting saudi arabia's government soldiers ols is spending the account of the former saudi

royal court advisors tiny he's implicated in the murder of the washington post journalist. earlier we spoke to mark owen jones from hammad been a university and he says twitter has several ways to identify political spam accounts. today will have many ways of determining what's fake or what's not fake this usually involves looking at the matter data so does that account tweet a lot is there suspicious activity in terms of the nature of the tweets is the repeating of the tweets repeatedly so there's different algorithms that detect these fake accounts and i want to be clear that twitter's algorithm is not foolproof i for one study lots of propaganda accounts or political spam accounts to use the euphemism that remain undetected and still continue to promote various ideologies but what's very interesting about this recent batch these 4000 or so accounts that twitter suspended there was a very much a unity of the discourse it was mostly about yemen it was mostly critical of who it

was mostly critical of qatar and the ones that were positive were promoting the had been some one in particular so even twitter themselves noted noted that amongst these accounts from the u.a.e. in egypt there was such a commonality of discourse that they actually singled out these facets of the information but what we can hypothesize if we look at the fact that the message of the promoting is similar it's against the events quote that what we can surmise is that whoever is responsible for purchasing this information this propaganda package is either outsourcing this strategy to various companies individuals some individuals have their own boat nets with these this information that works so i think it's important to see that whoever is running these accounts might be multiple actors all of whom are probably on some form of payroll from a middle man or middle person 1000000 said they would go but only a few dozen alien enthusiasts ended up gathering at the gates of a top secret u.s. military base in nevada well the event started as an online joke just charm the

gates of area 51 but like a bad fire all conspiracy theories believe the air force base has aliens. and that is it for me for this news hour but don't go away we'll be back in a moment with more of the day's news including the latest from egypt.

the latest news as it breaks while the lunar lander has been lost officials expect to receive images from the all the dark with details coverage dangers refrain from black blood the wrong way before prefer to walk through the eastern 3rd of dorian. from around the world is flawed he will lie in state for a few days. at the national heroes city in the capital. some were coerced. others rallied to the cause. but were all complicit in creating wild of terror and depression. now living in

fear and denial they reveal their motivations and the shocking truths from the inside. witness the women of i sell. on al-jazeera. thousands of egyptians take to the streets demanding president abdel fatah the fiefs step down. hello and welcome i'm difficult polony are watching al-jazeera live from to how

also coming up. the president has approved the deployment of u.s. forces. the u.s. takes its 1st step to support saudi arabia and response to attacks on its oil facilities. yemen 3 if you were able to offer to and host a latino with a. the arabia but one that we had the wall suffer the greatest damage if it continues the war we share one planet we get our only why are we letting it go to waste. and the global call to action millions of young people take the lead and they go on strike in the biggest ever climate protest. thousands of people are protesting across egypt they're calling on president abdel fattah el-sisi to resign over corruption allegations several people have been arrested at these protests in the capital cairo desire is banned from reporting inside egypt palace has the details. from cairo to alexandria to

men sora anger and resentment food egypt's streets people protested against prison abdel fattah el-sisi calling for him to resign over corruption allegations and a reassign they flooded into cairo's to hear square before police dispersed the crowd arresting some the square was made famous in 2011 during the egyptian revolution that toppled former president hosni mubarak the fact that people have been able to actually enter to her square is in itself an incredible achievement for the people in order to try to protest against sisi so it seems that there is this bubble that's growing this tension is growing and it seems that momentum is increasing and minute by minute egyptians are frustrated about corruption but it was a businessman in spain that storks the fire calling for the protests muhammad ali started posting videos on you tube and facebook and early september he leaked

cissie and his military wasted millions of dollars of public money on palaces villas and hotels he said he knew because he built them i want to have a why spend a huge amount of money building these houses i never understood his decision on the problem was that these wife didn't want to see. in the same home where mubarak's wife stayed taken low level corruption to a new level i built 5 villas for theses a palace for the president and a military camp in cairo slapped with the one week ago speaking at a youth summit in cairo president says he did not directly address the accusations of corruption against him and his army but he did say this. how much do you think a day of operations in sinai costs we don't talk about this then we see someone daring to come out and defame the army someone who wants to shock you panic you someone who dares to try to disparage the great value of our great army when says

the little military coup of president mohammed morsi and 2013 he outlawed all and authorized protests a government crackdown followed with tens of thousands of egyptians arrested including journalists like al-jazeera is own mahmoud hussein who is now being imprisoned more than $1000.00. egyptian government crushed any protest ruthlessly so the fact that people are prepared to take to the streets tonight i think speaks to the enormous restoration the enormous anger that ordinary egyptians you know to work. from an egyptian whistleblower posting you tube videos the internet has galvanized egyptians frustrations and now move to the streets bellus. well how does our correspondent joins us now here in our studio as he has covered egypt extensively particularly during the last revolution but let's talk about what's happening here on the ground now what's your take on it for the

guy i think it's important to focus on the facts because these are momentous times and developments and it's very easy particularly because of the symbolism that egypt for presents and all the memories that comfort him back when it was 11 the people maybe get a bit carried away the facts we have. now are is this is the 1st time protests take place across the nation since 6th of october 2013 which was the last coupe protests that took place there have been significant protests here and there was a there was the issue about the islands being sold to saudi arabia tehran and so some of the year there were some protests with regard to press freedoms and other issues but in terms of nationwide alexandria cairo months sort of a high level birthplace of a posix movement this is the 1st time secondly this is an organic representation or manifestation of the resentments that people feel towards adrift at the c.c. and his regime this isn't a politically organized once for example in 2011 proceeding the revolution you had

for example that you were 6 movement you had the cafe a movement which was the enough movement you had the return of mohamed el baradei and his demands and so forth whereas with this you don't have any specific organization or movements that is called for it is very much organic which in some respects demonstrates that the anger and resentment felt amongst the directions today is far greater than that which was represented in 2011 and 3rd another very important fact is that there are very simple and united in their demands here we've heard them all the chance leave sisi and the fact that there is this simple simple demand that so many people have come united around not just on the streets bear in mind you're talking about the number one trending hashtags in egypt are leaves you see are the free or square. are starting to them the people demand the fall of the regime so they are being joined by those who maybe were still so fearful of

fighting to come down but when they see the posters of fatah being ripped down stamped on lit on fire this will no doubt be a very clear manifestation that there is a massive section of egyptian society that is extreme. angry without the fatah sisi and that despite his claims of winning presidential elections by 98 percent the truth of the matter is there is a large section of people who do not want him in power right i know it's early days yet but how reminiscent is what we're seeing right now off the 2011 protests that managed to overthrow a government a dictatorship you covered the lead up to that very intensively what kind of a sense are you getting with this is that momentum to this so we're we've only been witnessing what about 68 hours now of protests but there is similarities and there are also differences which could very well actually lead one way or the other the

similarities obviously being in the sense that you have younger you have. a cross-section of society so people from different political backgrounds coming out to the streets and from the visual imagery you could also argue that people from different economic backgrounds coming to the street so there is those similarities taking place the fact that they had its woodstock years where the fact that these cities that have more of a working class population so suez with its factories and on sort of these are areas that are very much the industrial centers of egypt so their population coming out that is very similar in fact in 2000 live in the 1st 2 people who were killed in the protests in the most violent protests in the 1st true 24 hours were in sewers as well so i think that's that's what's reminisce but what's what's maybe different this time is there are reports that there is a. sense a dissatisfaction amongst senior members of the military without the manifested in the fact that for example simon and who was one of the top generals when he

announced that he wanted to contest the presidency was put under arrest the former prime minister under hosni mubarak who was in the u.a.e. for a long time the moment he arrived in cairo was also put under arrest so there is this may be. vide within the security establishment which could very well play into the hands of those calling for the downfall of a tough season we saw some videos in the me up to where the police came out and told the people you could hear this very clearly the ordeal of it on the video saying we're not going to do anything protest and so forth whether that was an attempt for them to diffuse or whether that was a manifestation of maybe also dissatisfaction amongst certain elements of the security force still early to see but at least the warning signs and things that are different the economy this time compared to 2010 of course there was massive economic disparity between the rich and the poor there was unemployment and so forth but now you're talking about the value of the pound is maybe 200 percent less

than what it was 2011 the freedom mubarak as much as an ortho or tyrian ruler as he was he didn't crack down to the extent that the fatah c.c. did as well but all of that whilst it may have quiet in the street for a period now that you see this eruption whether it's just a tremor or whether it's going to actually erupts we will wait and see the next 24 hours but definitely the differences between 200-100-2011 are significant enough to see that these events of tonight's are momentous to say the least one point that you made that seems to really resonate is the fact that there is some kind of a faction are cracks are showing within the apparatus and i don't think these protests could take place without that given that they have been cracking down on the security has been restricting any kind of dissent so one must wonder what kind of response will the government or will there be from those in authority is a very good question i mean the timing is also very interesting because this is

a time where he's on his way to new york for the general assembly this is a time coming off the back of these constant leaks or videos that came out from the former army contract or come actor dileep. comes at a time with the increased austerity measures that have been put on so does the government have enough political slack to crack down or is it going to have to maybe give a little bit of leeway there in arabic they have the political and political scientists love to use this idea of an office or breathing where they allow for certain expressions of anger in order to ensure that it doesn't overcome when quite sure but divide within the establishment there was a message posted on the facebook page of some yarn and a generous amount on yesterday where he was calling on the egyptian people to rise up against of the toughest issues whether that's going to be manifested amongst a significant portion of the military because in the end of the day egypt is

a military state the military controls everything from the economy to culture to media to obviously the security apparatus we'll wait and see but the fear here is that if there isn't a clear support network or at least some sort of solidarity some significant political power within egypt as well as the international community you could very well see these you know thousands of protesters wiped off either picked up and put into jail or as we saw in the another massacre that took place in egypt a very worrying prospect tomorrow as always great to have the onset i have to thank you. timothy cow that is a nonresident fellow at tire institute for middle east policy and joins us now live from boston so as you're watching from over there what do you make of what's happening right now on the streets of cairo.
