a very nice day today at 24 degrees but that's not going to last by the time we get towards tomorrow the temperatures down a bit as well as we're going to see some very rainy conditions not only for london but also for the rest of the u.k. extending down across parts of france and also into parts of spain now also very heavy rain is expected here across rome we do expect to see a temper there of about 24 degrees but here cross central europe expect to see still very nice conditions with vienna 20 and berlin at 22 degrees for you well for the northwestern part of africa plenty of clouds anywhere from algeria over here towards morocco we don't expect to see any rain in these clouds so just mostly cloudy to overcast conditions across much of the area algiers a temperature few of 30 and over here towards her but we do expect to see 24. the weather sponsored by qatar and. the big stores generate fountains of headlines it seems that much the media is still struggling with how to deal with it with different angles from different perspectives and you hold to separate the spin

from the facts. the misinformation from journalism how to care for must use your words but some tough stuff has to be said so some critics have to be listening post on al-jazeera. a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera thousands of people have been protesting across egypt calling on president abdel fattah el-sisi to resign their reports one person has been killed in the northern city of months or after suffocating from tear gas more u.s.

troops and missile defense systems are being sent to salvage arabia and the united arab emirates to defend what the u.s. says is iranian aggression iran denies american allegations of involvement in the recent attacks on saudi arabia's oil facilities and yemen's who theall rebels political leader is offering to stop all attacks on saad eurabia but only if the saudis reciprocates well things are warning that the kingdom will suffer more touch and less a peace plan is accepted. and the us president has dismissed a whistleblower complaint against him as quote a political hack job u.s. media reports say the complaint details donald trump allegedly trying to persuade a foreign leader to investigate former vice president joe. biden son biden who could be trump's opponent in the next election says this shows willingness to abuse his power a white house correspondent kimberly hockett reports. a state visit between the

leaders of the united states and australia overshadowed by questions of political impropriety by u.s. president donald trump i've had conversations with many leaders that are always appropriate for the oval office trump defended and downplayed the allegations he abused his position of power during a phone conversation in july with ukraine's president vladimir selenski allegedly asking him to investigate a democratic presidential opponent former vice president joe biden it doesn't matter what i discussed but i will say this somebody ought to look into joe biden statement because it was disgraceful or somebody to look into that and you wouldn't because he's a democrat but that phone call has now become the focus of a congressional investigation following a whistleblower complaint from inside the intelligence community one of the trump justice department reportedly tried to block democrats accuse the trumpet ministration of a cover up that whole purpose is being frustrated here because the director of

national intelligence has made the unprecedented decision not to share the complaint with congress democrats alleged may have tried to help his presidential reelection campaign by pressuring kiev to investigate business deals between ukrainian companies and biden son will biden was vice president according to the ukrainian government trump expressed support for their efforts to investigate corruption during a phone call with selenski in july shortly afterwards the us reportedly began reviewing the possibility of suspending 200 $50000000.00 in military assistance to ukraine the white house of als this month it is providing the money to kiev trump says the accusations are politically motivated. it's just another political hack job after initially dodging congressional requests president trump's acting director of national intelligence has now agreed to testify next week before congress about the whistleblowers complaint this as president continues to deny any

wrongdoing we're also scheduled to meet with ukraine's president next week at the united nations general assembly can really help get al-jazeera the white house u.k. and a unit to say they are optimistic following breck said talks in brussels u.k. breck's it minister stephen bach he says there's a common purpose between the 2 sides as they seek a deal ahead of a deadline at the end of october at all 7 focus on the contentious irish border issue well we had serious detailed discussions today with the ship on any steam common purpose we both want to see you have a clear message has been given both by president and the prime minister who want to see the teams reach a deal the meeting actually overrun which signals the fact that we were getting into the detail and would have further discussions next week. from asean island

getting worried about what will happen to them after breakfast most depend on an open tariff free border with the u.k. for their exports all of that hinges on the ongoing negotiations as a story. about the car now. 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 ireland the men driving the tractors have rock star status here. the sports heroes was the job the race people are irish national heroes they were 3 days a 3rd of a 1000000 visitors inspect the machinery in 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 of a coming from would not survive for her. and the potential maybe there's

a lot of promises made some of them are scary ones critically be from above given the level of indebtedness that out. for you they find out what the british government wants to achieve at this point is vaguely 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 nots apparently 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 it's 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 the south and the granular detail of that is you know. 10 percent of the pool is processed from the ordinary in the public 400000 sheep consoled for his daughter a could give you a myriad of statistics so the continuation of the economy is really important to us and those politicians who represent voters around the border insist that if the u.k. can't figure out what it wants it should let irish people decide for themselves this is why people say the failure to agree on bricks it could lead to a united ireland so the choices are. the british government can either 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 can give the people in the north of ireland a choice as to which union the want to be part of didn't want to be part of the dysfunctional so called united kingdom or didn't want to as declared in the

previous referendum remain 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. open any ideas proposed by the irish to square that circle have been ruled out as unacceptable in london and yet here they are still waiting for the british prime minister to come up with something else instead. kolo. millions across the globe have taken part in the biggest climate change protest on record young people to the need demanding governments do more to curb emissions and we campaign the pressure on world leaders gathering in new york for the united nations general assembly. course. the young people are fed up and took to the streets of new york to say it's time for adults i don't need to acknowledge climate change but instead to do something about it you're only 17

years old why is it important for you to be here today this whole movement is you slide in we're the ones who are going to be affected the most by climate change because we have the longest time ahead of us and we're the ones who by traditional means don't have much political power actions like this show that we have a voice in our futures here i've written 0 hour in red lipstick oh it means that this is really like 0 hour like no more time left to act on climate change because people around the world are already being impacted they are taking their message straight to older people in positions of power like it this climate strike in washington d.c. but in america new york is the focal point. on thursday a giant melting glacier was projected on the side of the united nations headquarters as well as words scroll down the side demanding action on climate change world leaders are gathering at the u.n. next week for the annual general assembly. but it was the noise on the streets

friday and to make those world leaders take notice he's only hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating through the streets of new york city right now mostly young people this is happening in over a 1000 different cities throughout the united states but not only here locally as well. across the pacific islands many of which are already experiencing the impact of rising sea levels a pledge to fight climate change there are protests in australia were several $100000.00 people skipped school college or work to take part and in india more demonstrations and a groundswell of global existent passion for action also seen in south africa. all told demonstrations in more than 150 countries. even experienced activists say they are learning from the youth i have to say they can communicate much better

that maybe up us they creativity innovation and the way their image is' the numbers of young people that are coming every country will be that the last 6 months i've been so inspired they're now saying it's no longer a matter of trying to bring attention to climate change but rather what to do about it gabriel's on doe new york all the protests was sponsored by teenage climate activists gretta tunbridge she said this clear people want to see action from well . this monday world leaders are going to be gathered here in new york city for the united nations climate action summits. the eyes of the world that will be on them they have a chance to prove that they too are united behind the science they have a chance to take leadership to prove they actually hear us do you think they

hear us. we will make them hear us. started as an online joke that quickly went viral millions of people signed up to storm a top secret u.s. military base which is long been the subject of alien conspiracy theories but as heidi castor reports only a few dozen u.f.o. enthusiasts ended up gathering at the gates of area $51.00. it's the middle of the night in a party is happening outside the gate of a remote and top secret u.s. military base why would you ever miss this a bunch of random people in weird costumes standing outside of a government base. why would you want to miss that. these are the people heeding a call to storm area 51 a call it started on facebook when

a college student jokingly posted we can move faster than their bullets let's see the aliens. came out the seats out of the down people make a run for it are people really storming the military base only a few police say a person was arrested for trespassing early friday morning and in the light of day the sighing clearly reads 6 months in prison meant strictly enforced well you know there are stories galore of all sorts of things exotic and potentially. happening here at area $51.00 michael hall is an attorney who believes aliens have visited earth and his opinion may be supported by some evidence from the u.s. military itself these declassified videos shot by navy pilots around 2015 show unknown to flying objects or u.f.o.'s whose movements defy human technology the government says it still doesn't know what they were if they're confirming

these things exist they don't know what they are. obviously something is controlling and then there's the recent discovery of a planet 110 light years away a scientists believe may be capable of supporting life i don't think we are we alone in the universe know. that's all push these extraterrestrial lovers to this a communion in the desert with other earthlings who are unafraid to celebrate their inner alien. castro al-jazeera along the extraterrestrial highway nevada. hello again i'm fully back to bill with the headlines on al-jazeera. thousands of people have been protesting across egypt calling on president abdel fattah el-sisi to resign their reports one person has been killed in the northern city of months

or after suffocating from tear gas more u.s. troops and missile defense systems are being sent to sarge arabia and the u.a.e. to defend debt to defend against what americans call even in aggression iran denies the allegations of involvement in attacks on oil processing plants in saudi arabia a week ago meanwhile yemen's who the rebels have offered to stop targeting saudi territory as long as a kingdom also holds its campaign the group took credit for the attacks on saudi oil facilities last week and they've won that the saudi kingdom or suffer more attacks if the war continues. we reserve the right to respond if they fail to reciprocate positively to this initiative the continuation of this war we're not going to put any side on the contrary it could lead to dangerous developments which we do not wish to take blows we say this knowing that the ones who would suffer more are the enemy nations hundreds of protesters are marching towards government offices in hong kong the demonstration comes ahead of

a large anti-government protests in the city center in just a few hours time oh testers have been raging for 4 months now against the influence of mainland china on the territory in our probe aging supporters in hong kong have torn down so-called lenin was named after the beatles john lennon and his songs of peace the attacks on pasta posters calling for political reform raises fears of further conflict between the rival sides you care n.d. you negotiators say they're optimistic after the latest bracks it talks in brussels u.k. bret's it minister stephen barclay says there is a common purpose between the 2 sides as they seek a deal ahead of a deadline at the end of october the talks have been focused on the contentious irish border issue and the millions across the globe who have taken part in the biggest climate change protest on records young people want governments to do more to curb emissions before damage should the planet is irreversible the week long campaign aims to step up the pressure on world leaders gathering for the united

nations general assembly in new york those are the headlines coming up next here if so listening polls stu stay with us. talk to al-jazeera. what guarantees will be given to the people who will be attending the minimal workshop we listen i'm supposed to explain apologize for someone who is also terrorizing we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter on the 00. c.b.s. news is joining you what you can say are you think of i mean everything. my mission economy church research. where our planet is head next week i'm actually looking to connect the dots between climate change extreme weather. hello i'm richard burton you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're covering this week planet s.o.s. climate change was breaking news long ago why have the mainstream media been so

slow and so poor in covering the inside story from the favelas of rio de janeiro the locals say they get a raw deal from news outlets on the outside so they've taken the covering their story themselves and al jazeera journalist has been in jail in egypt for 1000 days now and still has not been charged with committing a crime and as chinese kids return to school there are lessons to be learned from the state. record heat waves in europe and africa droughts in southern india on an unprecedented scale hurricanes more frequent and violent than ever and wildfires in of all places the arctic the global news media are after decades of looking the other way finally waking up to what scientists have long called an emergency climate change take covering climate now it's an alliance of more than 300 media outlets including this one currently running one week's worth of climate coverage in the lead up to

a summit on the subject in new york city the shortfall in the coverage of climate change in the short come. expose the ugly irresponsible side of modern journalism particularly the corporate conduct the chase for ratings and revenues in the media are complicit in and not just observers of an economy dependent on fossil fuels and that's a big part of the problem our starting point this week once again is the planet earth. a global media consortium a journalistic collective the size and reach of which is commensurate to the story and news agencies like bloomberg a.f.p. in france and getty images u.s. television networks and c.b.s. india's news 18 s v t in sweden and al-jazeera into tar asahi shimbun and bloody public are the most

widely read newspapers in japan and italy respectively more than 300 media outlets on 6 continents with a combined audience of more than a 1000000000 people all brought together by 2 american publications the nation magazine and the columbia journalism review to talk about one issue climate change i thought there is a critical mass of journalists out there who want to be doing more and better climate coverage and that's what led to this project covering climate now and it has been remarkable to see the way that so many outlets have stepped up big outlets small outlets radio t.v. print online and all over the world so much of the climate journalism that we do is about our country it's very insular and this is a global issue and especially a lot of the polluters cross borders today i was reading a story about sewage systems in philadelphia and we had the exact same problems in

johannesburg here where we are so. it seemed like an opportunity to join up museums and tell our audience for a week that here is an issue that the whole world is dealing with. the consortium strategy was to have all of its members churning out a week's worth of environmental reporting leading up to september 23rd and the start of a major climate conference in new york city for participants like india's hindustan times and south africa's mail and guardian the core subject is the same the story is markedly different so in south africa one of the big problems we have is we have such a big carbon footprint as a nation right but if you look at india i balk at their emissions are extremely low they're lower lower than the world average power utility eskom. which is a petro chemicals company and a few other industries these are all valid of the apartheid regime where these incredibly looting industries that affect the communities that live next to them

and they also have a huge impact on using carbon emissions it's good to put a human face to the climate change story and i think this is an opportunity to do that then at the same time track the conference in new york track it as effectively as possible look at what the government here is doing and what it plans to announce as impressive as the consortium's joint output has been the question begged is what took them so long the new york times had this page one story on a scientist working for nasa predicting much of what we are seeing today record heat waves droughts and sea level rises if global warming went on checked that piece was written 31 years ago in 1908. what followed has been not just a failing of governments but of news media as well part of which is a continuing failure to connect the dots on us broadcast networks a.b.c. c.b.s. and n.b.c. all recently gorged on the coverage of hurricane dorian some of the windows here in

the. over 8090 miles an hour but of the 216 segments they put to air over a one week stretch only one mentioned the possible causal context climate change one very few journalists have covered the climate change beat since that new york times article in 1908 the guardian's george monbiot is among them why has it taken this long and this concerted a lobbying effort to get the media outlets where they need to be on this story if you look at the billionaire press newspapers owned by billionaires they have a very clear interest in not emphasizing climate breakdown. because doing so directly offends the commercial interests of the billionaire class as a whole in the broadcast media it's long been perceived as counter aspirational so they can have something on this stunning caribbean island and the programs they

like to make are all about wonderful houses and amazing things you can buy a great holiday if you can go on. and climate. and environmental breakdown more generally the specter at the feast saying actually all this apparent progress is progress towards disaster there's been a lair of top executives in the media who have been not just indifferent to these issues but to really hostile to them i've met journalists from mexico from india from southeast asia who all tell me the same thing they themselves as journalists the desperate to cover the issues but the senior figures within their organizations just keep mixing it keep saying that. because in the end money talks and when it does many media outlets listen and song go quiet

since the paris climate agreement of 2016 the 5 biggest publicly traded or oil and gas companies have spent around a $1000000000.00 trying to shift the narrative on climate change some of that is spent on lobbying that happens out of the public eye but it also pays for the branded content advertising you may have seen on a newspaper's website and should the weather change yet again i'm asked to step in to keep the power flowing and the night shining or the ads that have grown common on the american airwaves slick feel good messaging it's getting the attention you deserve but the privacy you desire at a time when the standard of covering climate change is finally improving advertising often works against the journalism and with media starved of revenue like never before news outlets face a dilemma take the ad money or leave it you have to rely on advertising so at the mail and guardian. we have a strict divide between the commercial side and the editorial side but we can veto

adverts if we think they're not in line with an editorial policy or thing a line is basically so we do try and hold their adverts to a better standard but you know you you need money to do journalism so at the moment this is where the money is i want to talk about something you wrote way back in 2007 the editorials urge us to cut our emissions the urge us to raise them do you see a tension between those 2 imperatives the tension is almost overwhelming sometimes i get a lot of complaints from my readers about it and it's right across. all the media you get the advertisement splashing us towards what we know is disaster i would like to see media outlets ceasing to take advertising for oil companies for gas companies for cars for planes for holidays which require flights and i don't think

that's too much to ask these are industries which. should be on the way out anyway. as impressive as the list of companies that took part in all that climate change coverage is the list does not tell the full story consider the organizations you do not see here the ones that chose not to take part for reasons ranging from the journalistic to the ideological to the merely commercial i did make efforts to reach out to most of the biggest u.s. news organizations to invite them to be part of covering climate now new york times has declined the washington post declined the wall street journal declined los angeles times declined c.n.n. declined n.b.c. news declined a.b.c. news declined they did not want to look like they were part of a campaign or trying to push

a certain agenda on their readers we differ with that point of view we think that it fundamentally misses a key aspect of journalism which is the trying to cut through the fog and tell citizens here's what you need to know about your world and here's what you can do about it. we're looking at other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers you know actually rafi nina the media in egypt are severely restricted under the government there but there is one very public dissenting voice going after the president himself what can you tell us about him. this person speaking out richard is very well known in egypt he's a film and t.v. actor his name is muhammad ali and over the past few weeks he's been posting numerous half hour long video on facebook and youtube and he's doing it from spain . well actually. he gave them a. what happens. now it's not surprising i really felt he had to

leave egypt in order to see some of the things he's saying he's gone where few others in egypt would dare to go and he had extensive dealings with the egyptian military and says he saw up close clear cases of corruption and embezzlement by president sisi his wife and their inner circle these videos richard have been going crazy online they've been getting millions of views and many of those views are within egypt so how are the egyptian media dealing with this given that criticism of the president there is such a no no well these videos have been seen as so incendiary that president himself came out to respond he was at a conference in cairo when he spoke about allegations politically we'll tell you how the top liberal beliefs. to close a deal with a totally. we haven't seen such a public challenge against president sisi before now that's in part due to the for .
