4:30 pm
climate summit you have convened a climate summit you said to those world leaders don't come with a speech come with a plan what do you want to hear now it's very simple we are losing the race climate change is running faster than what we are seeing that are getting worse by the day the rising waters. in the oceans the increase of temperatures the multiplication of lots of these ourselves the dramatic impacts of the routes in different parts of the world all these is creating a situation that is a real sets to human kind and we are not doing enough or is a criticism of you and it was made of your predecessor as well which is that you are not prepared to stand up to the 5 permanent members of the security council on this issue which you say is so crucial are you prepared to confront them even if it costs you a 2nd term as secretary and i don't care about a 2nd term with the united states or china with russia or wherever i've been
4:31 pm
telling all of them that they need to do everything in order to make sure that we reach carbon neutrality in 2050 and that temperatures will not go above 1.5 degrees at the end of the century obviously there are scientists with different views on this but from what you're being told how a lot is how my definition of use but nature is angry and i've seen it in the bahamas but i when you have to question that it's more than 200 miles per hour winds that stayed in an island for 2 days the story every seeing mother nature is angry and i understand saying whatever they want but the majority of the overwhelming majority of scientists recognize why mother nature is angry and mother nature is angry because we are making it angry with what we are doing pushing for climate change today public opinions are more ready to accept the need to change then politicians themselves and that it is very important that public opinions push
4:32 pm
their governments push their political systems to take the right to see what he is being told by the scientists how long do we have to say don't have it much time we have probably 12 years 1112 years to change course if not it will be irreversible that we will not be able to contain the increase of temperatures at 1.5 degrees at the end of the century what is clear for me is that we absolutely need to rican silo. human kind with nature if you look at history. is 3 is full of examples of people fighting each other i think for the 1st time people are fighting the creation people are fighting mother nature so we need to recognize these and we need to change course your family man secretary-general when you think of your children your grandchildren and their future as this issue the climate crisis does it keep you up at night it's central in my life i have 3
4:33 pm
granddaughters. i have no idea how the world will be when they have they will have my age when they will be 70 the world will be completely different but when seeing is clear my generation is the obligation to allow them to live you know healthy planet and we are not feeling that obligation we destroying the planet in which they will have to leave a powerful message there from the u.n. secretary general and let's we compliance s.o.s. we're bringing you how politicians and the people they represent responded to his call now talking about the climate crisis can be difficult not just for world leaders but for many of us too but there is power in information and not just from us al-jazeera has joined more than 250 media organizations in a global initiative called covering climate now it's aimed at strengthening reporting of the climate emergency and over sharing content from our partners
4:34 pm
throughout planet s.o.'s under-educated initiatives like this one from the international red cross it's a new social media campaign called faces of climate change with plenty of suggestions on what people can do to end the crisis. the largest climate protests in history millions of people in more than 150 countries joined what was truly a global climate strike the rallies on friday began in the pacific and asia inspired by youth but joined by people of all ages demanding an end to the climate crisis from kenya to south africa mali to madagascar young people led marches across the african continent and in the middle east large parts of europe were brought to a standstill including the city of london already the focus of months of climate strikes people marched in the americas brazil believe via mexico city and the united states culminating in a mass rally in new york led by the schoolgirl who inspired the global climate
4:35 pm
strike 16 year old gretta turned berg gretta became a global icon after an impassioned speech at the un climate conference in poland last year since then she's emboldened millions of students to hold protests every friday one of those she's inspired is climate activist the lesson from kampala in uganda the 22 year old is in new york for the un's youth climate summit. i'm going to take the love and passion that these kids out the climate issues in their countries and to get back home to our country to teach and let other users know that it is our responsibility to fight and be mindful what's right should be ours now al-jazeera visited and i said just before she left home here's her story. after school i wanted to build something that could cause change and impact in boys' lives in my country through my research i got to find out about climate strikes by
4:36 pm
greater than bar. i started looking for climate activists our own africa but i failed to get one i said to look for them in uganda but i fail to get one so it was up to me to start the playmate strakes. i'm fighting for a better future for everyone a better future for my family for the citizens of this country for africa as a quantum effects and for the citizens of this entire world i believe that through my strikes climate action can be taken by our government leaders and the public to train me to get their situation and revive us the problem that we are facing great now i was invited by the united nations for the youth climate summit so i've been carrying got proportions i'm going to present my country and africa as a continent. climate change is real and dangerous for us all it knows no age
4:37 pm
and it knows no person if it is to destroy our life it destroys anyone so they should join the fight against the climate crisis. or gratitude burke wasn't the 1st young woman to take her fight to the global stage in 1227 colors suzuki's spoke at the u.n. summit in rio de janeiro or just 12 years old let's listen suppose cycles for drastic action. my dad always says you are what you do not what you say well what you do makes me cry at night you grown ups say you love us but i challenge you please make your actions reflect your words thank you. you say you love your children above all else. and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes. until you start focusing on what needs to be done
4:38 pm
rather than what is politically possible there is no hope. well 7 has gone on to become a prominent environmentalist and she joins us now from gothenburg in sweden 700 very good to have you on the show so very similar messages from children calling on the adults to take the action necessary to protect their future and yet 27 years in between how many times is this message going to have to be repeated well to be honest we don't have another generation to wait this time climate change is here climate change is happening we're well into the 6th mass extinction event and now the voices of voices of future generation are calling for intergenerational justice and we've run out of time this is it and it's incredible that the young people around the world are are rising up and demanding the adult generations to prove
4:39 pm
that they love their children so you sound optimistic and i hope for the mobilization today can really make a difference is that how you feel i'm a mother i have 2 little children i have cast my lot with the future and i have to believe that we we are we have a chance and of course we have a chance human beings are incredibly innovative i mean especially emboldened when i think about past mobilizations i think we can see that there is a real hope and real progress and real possibility so yes i am hopeful because i have to be what do you think the best way forward is to ensure the impetus continues to move forward and doesn't get pushed back again like in the early 1990 s. we need our politicians our leaders to implement different policies to level the playing field so we actually as a society can revolutionize and transform we have to get off fossil fuels this is a huge change in our in our way of human life and so we need infrastructure to
4:40 pm
shift we need infrastructure and we also need inspiration what do you think it is about these 2. young girls you and grettir which really made people sit up and prick up there is it's really amazing to me that people are still talking about a speech that a 12 year old gave at the u.n. 27 years ago people really respond to the voice of our children there's something about the clarity the voice the moral authority of children and youth that can cut through all of the rationalizations that we make for the destruction of the world and let's hope that the adults continue to listen thank you so much 7 it's been great to have you on the show thank you very much amanda well so much it has not been without consequence one of the memorable images from global warming protests in london in april as a protest of phil kingston eating his lunch on top of a train on his 18th birthday we talk to have him here on planet as the west but he
4:41 pm
and other extinction rebellion protest is a now awaiting trial for public order offenses. our planet is heating up largely because of all the carbon dioxide we're putting into the atmosphere so what if we could take it out it's a radical solution that's been around for decades but the technology isn't quite there yet it's we're talking carbon capture and storage all c.c.'s is al-jazeera is mariana honed with a look at whether this really comes save our planet's. a number of companies around the world or at the cutting edge of carbon capture and storage technology or c.c.s. using machines to suck and then absorb c o 2 from the year using a range of chemical reactions different technologies but the same objective to pull a tonne of carbon from the f a much less than $100.00 and lock it back in the us where it came from scientists say if we have to make a real day into the cabin pollution shrouding our planet then carbon capture and
4:42 pm
storage technology needs to be deployed on a mess of and global scale problemas it uses a lot of energy and it's an economic there's just no money to be made in it sure burying the c o 2 back into the ground is good for the planet and for us but there's little incentive for companies including the carbon polluters to develop c.c.s. technology and iron out the kinks and for the entrepreneurs who are trying will they lift hunting for cash to cover their costs. one possibility is for governments to subsidize the process through texan seem to us all to agree on a global price on carbon pollution thing is to build a cabin kept the industry to the scale needed the price on carbon has to be high and many government saawariya of the backlash from voters if it affects the cost of everyday goods which leads us to another possibility what if rather than storing
4:43 pm
all that waste carbon underground we used to some of it to create things of value things that might even be profitable well scientists an entrepreneur. i have been experimenting with just that how to convert cabin pollution into products like jet fuel concrete even food and as renewable energy gets cheaper using clean energy sources to ensure the different processes a gentle on the planet scientists agree carbon recycling can't replace carbon capture and storage this simply too much c o 2 out there but the benefit of cabin recycling lies in the market it creates for all that captured carbon a market that turns waste c o 2 into something profitable a launching pad for it to be deployed on a global scale what the world's leading scientists say is needed to keep our planet cool. so shift in the way we think about carbon from waste that pollutes the atmosphere to resource it can be recycled for more mariana joins me in the studio

brianna so it sounds that recycling is the way that we're going to be able to take this technology forwards exactly caballe recycling alone one fix the problem of carbon pollution a number of the recycled carbon products like jet fuel will simply put the carbon back into the atmosphere so the real appeal is in developing the market for that waste c o 2 turning it into something useful and didn't seem to vising industry to be able to double down on developing the technology to the point it needs to be to reduce the amount of energy needed to convert it to another of a yield enough c o 2 to make it cost effective and then deploy it on a large global scale to be able to deal with the huge amount hundreds of gigatons of c o 2 in the atmosphere and yet you do hear despite the uncertainty at the moment e.g. here a lot of people talking about these solutions or other way emissions and it's not it's not it's not even close there are politicians with their own agendas there are
4:45 pm
some in the fossil fuels industry who are trying to paint carbon capture and storage technology as the answer as a way of cleaning up duty energy and there are power plants factories which are capturing emissions but they're a tiny fraction of those that are pumping out c o 2 and it's nothing like what is needed so what is needed how much carbon to get we're going to have to capture let's take a look at the scraps here you can see it's from less and it gives you an idea of c o 2 emissions over time and you can see under the line the gentle rise and fall of c o 2 right up until 950 and then it rises to where we are currently sitting at around 400000 if we stay here we're in trouble that's catastrophic scientists say where we need to be is back down on that $350.00 mark now to get there the un's body on climate change the i.p.c.c. says we need to look at more innovative potentially radical solutions one of them is carbon capture and storage technology it has promise it's technology that needs
4:46 pm
to be developed along with many others so there's a lot of progress that needs to be made very quickly. thank you very much mariana for a deeper dive into potential new technologies take a look at climate hackers that's a program from al jazeera as people in power series and you'll find it in the documentary section at al-jazeera dot com well that's what we've done but we also really want to hear from you you can get in touch with us on twitter using hash tag a.j. planet s.o.s. there's a lot of climate data out there and it can be overwhelming but some data trends are simply more important than others and so we've created a data tracker setting out some of the big numbers and we'll bring them to you every week what's going up but which will hopefully one day start coming down next week we'll have the un's highly anticipated report on the health of our planet's ice and oceans and we'll take a look at what's needed to preserve these vital resources well that's it for planet s.y.s. this week from am on to borrow and the whole team good bye for now. rewind
4:47 pm
returns with a new series and brand new updates on the best about to see this documentary by the compelling the onion the onion the streets but the heart and soul to rewind continues with losing louisiana was once a thriving community. with murdering above. right on the southern tip of the law is suburban lives on al-jazeera singapore is being accused of expanding its coastline with illegally dredged satins some of the islands off the coast of indonesia literally vanished it's a big business when it will take to sit there in the sand is our there you see this beautiful beach but behind it is something that's not so full of tragedy is
4:48 pm
that people are just not aware and ecological investigation into a global emergency sound at this time on al jazeera. iran's military might on display as its president says he'll put forward a goal of security plan to the united nations. come fully back to watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up small but defiant crowds protests for a 2nd night against egypt's president at home and outside the hotel ways staying in

new york demonstrators fill a shopping mall and threaten airport destruction as hong kong summer of unrest continues and we'll meet the young ugandan octavius who wants to. inspire a continent to deal with climate change. president hassan rouhani says iran will present a plan to the united nations which is designed to secure the gulf without the need for foreign intervention speaking at a military parade marking the anniversary of iran's war with iraq rani said a planned u.s. led task force threatened species includes the u.k. australia bahrain saudi arabia and the u.a.e. the u.s. accuses iran of being behind attacks on the goals energy infrastructure a charge iran denies that speak to our correspondent in tehran assad vegas a tell us more for us about president hassan rouhani message today.
4:50 pm
well here it's the 39th anniversary of the beginning of the iran iraq war the military parades taking place across the country but the main ones are heading to her and the southern port city of bunder about us and president rouhani has been speaking at this parade in iran and he spoke about the sanctions against iran he called it economic terrorism and he said that their reign people have been able to tolerate this. kind of deal with the sanctions and because of unity they've been able to push through the tough times he called the business people of iran soldiers and commanders on the front line in this economic war because these sanctions all you need that are united states impose them on iran when they pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal so even though other countries may not be a part of this sentence there's always a threat from the united states of imposing financial penalties on countries and
4:51 pm
institutions and businesses that deal with iran and of course there's this united states naval coalition the united states says is to protect the freedom of navigation through the strait of hormuz where about 20 percent of the world's oil passes through now by her in the united kingdom strait a part of that but also saudi arabia the u.a.e. have joined that president rouhani said that he has an alternative plan that he wants to present to the united nations show your job ali we're going to present a plan at the u.n. so that iran in collaboration with regional states is able to maintain security in the persian gulf the strait of hormuz and the sea of oman to the world that the presence of foreign forces can cause insecurity for international waterways maritime movements in energy security but our approach will create solidarity unity in coordination with the countries of the region has said we've heard even in leaders message to the outside world but what about to the many and people what are they telling them. well as you said there was
4:52 pm
a lot of military hardware on display and it's also to show the people here in iran that iran is not a soft target people here are not oblivious to what's going on in the region they know that there's tensions they know that there's a military build up but what president rouhani is telling the people is that unity the country can overcome this and also that iran and iran will strike back if they become a target he said that we will not surrender he said that we are a people of defense we will not violate others borders but also we will not tolerate our own borders to be violated and especially what president rouhani is saying yes we understand these are tough times in the stand that there are sanctions we understand that there are tensions and there's a threat of conflict but essentially saying to the iranian people trust in the leadership here and we will eventually overcome these tough times thank you for that asset as a big life or
4:53 pm
a say in tehran meanwhile saudi arabia has said it will wait until it finishes investigating last week's drone strikes on 2 of its oil facilities before taking action the minister of state for foreign affairs adèle out should bear believes u.n. investigators will confirm iran was behind the a strikes even though yemen toothy rebels have said they were responsible. packaged and the list in my list of my dilema surely it could be if the international community has a huge responsibility to put an end to iran's aggressive vandalism policies and practices that undermine the region if not the whole world these acts are in violation of the international laws and international customs must prove its not a barbarian country is a state if so it should respect the sovereignty of other states friend from supporting terrorism in refrain from exporting weapons to terrorist militias in the region that are used against civilians for them they've been more protests in egypt still manning the resignation of president abdel fattah el-sisi dozens of people
4:54 pm
were arrested after friday's much larger rallies which also denounce corruption oppression and poverty child has our report i was mass protests may be a rare sight in cc's egypt crackdown on dissent is not. in suez and government protesters who gathered for the 2nd night in a row were confronted by police and other security personnel. who fired tear gas and other forms of ammunition at what appear to be unarmed demonstrators egyptians 1st took to the streets on friday evening demanding that former army general turned president of the fatah to sisi resigns in cairo was the numbers weren't huge their voices were loud and clear i was in alexandria egypt 2nd city people angered by corruption poverty and oppression called for the same the people demand the fall of the regime in months in iraq and mahalo as well as
4:55 pm
several other cities what appears to be a nationwide movement has begun to form these protests come off the back of revelations by a former military contractor named mohammed ali who exposed millions of dollars worth of embezzlement and theft of state funds by c.c. and his family at a time when the egyptian president has introduced sweeping austerity measures claiming the government. was no longer able to subsidize living costs on saturday ali released another video giving c.c. a one week ultimatum i am still waiting for a response from the defense minister and security forces saying the c.c. is out he is no longer fit for this next friday is his ultimatum says i'm waiting for that decision and the next step is a multi 1000000 man march we started in our local streets next friday we will take to the major square as. mohammed ali is not a political leader but his message has resonated with menu directions the majority of whom live on just 2 dollars
4:56 pm
a day or less was the people are starving my life savings have evaporated why why decease to starve us while he lives in the curious palaces why is he trying to humiliate us he is supposed to be a public servant working for us is that if c.c. who is in new york for the united nations general assembly denies corruption allegations describing them as lies that banned all unauthorized protests after he led the military coup which deposed egypt's 1st democratically elected president mohamed morsi 6 years ago. tens of thousands of egyptians were arrested and jailed in a government crackdown which followed now human rights watch is calling the new direction government not to pete's past mistakes urging leaders to protect the right to peaceful protest in upholding egypt's obligations under international human rights law or 30 should immediately release all those arrested for soli exercising their rights was there are parallels that can be drawn with the 2011 uprising which led
4:57 pm
to the ousting of autocratic president hosni mubarak the situation today is also different the may still be early to predict how these protests will end and whether they will force regime change or not what is undeniable though is that for many egyptians the current status quo of poverty corruption and oppression is not an option. and the protests have followed president c.c. to new york he is there for the united nations general assembly and is expected to meet with us present donald trump a small crowd of egyptians rallied outside his hotel carrying signs accusing him of being a war criminal. another day of protests is going on in hong kong organizers planned at least 5 rallies one of them at this shopping mall in the shutting districts participants have been seen trampling on the chinese flying the chinese controlled
4:58 pm
territory has been rocked by 4 months of often violent demonstrations which initially began over a proposed extradition law which has now been scrapped well scott heiler is our correspondent in hong kong and he's inside that shopping mall we just mentioned scott tell us about what's happening where you are and why the protesters are not targeting these shopping centers. for you and that when you see that image those images of protesters here trampling on the trannies like that happened just behind me in the last 10 minutes. i know why they're here at the shopping mall there was a protest here back in july and the protesters here are angry with the way the police have over the protesters a few months ago and that they feel as though there was police brutality so that's why they came back here and again to the shopping all of this is something we saw on saturday as well not at this mall another mall in the new territories and they went there also because of a violent action against the protesters with
4:59 pm
a kind of marking these different locations that they feel where they were treated poorly so that's why they're here today and this is quite big i have to tell you i'd say at least close to 2000 people and if you can see behind me there are some it looks like a banner streaming across between these 2 levels in the shopping mall what that is what they're focused on again because they're here because of what happened back in drive but they're also focusing on certain businesses that they're boycotting because of those businesses businesses ties to beijing that streamer you see is actually from a restaurant on the top floor of this mall that has connections with seizing those are the reservation tickets that they stole from the restaurant and ticker tape across here there's also messages on the floor of some other businesses that have been kind of anti protest if you will kind of dictating what their employees can and can't do what it comes to supporting the protesters so that's one of the reasons they're out this more than a normally we thought we were going to see a big protest at the airport homecoming international airport but that didn't quite materialize mainly because there are a lot of road checkpoints on the way in through the airport 2nd for the boarding
5:00 pm
passes and that prevented a lot of the approaches getting in so they focused right here on all of you. thank you very much for that scott heide now live for us with the latest there from hong kong and we'll keep a close eye on the situation in hong kong with you and i the correspondents on the ground of course and still ahead on al-jazeera mocking 5 years of a rebel takeover the celebrate a milestone and make an offer just sound eurabia brass hearing for their future is shaped up their autonomy the deep. get ready to be ruled from india's capital.
