bragg's it with alternative customs arrangements u.k. supposed to leave the e.u. on october 31st that then baba has more. it's gone down well with the party faithful but in the end the message from the british prime minister to brussels wasn't take it or leave it but rather can we talk about it today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern out as gore is johnson addressed the conservative party conference his envoy was on his way to belgium with the actual bricks it documents given the full force of the proposals was the 1st the new text is supposed to replace the so-called backstop the insurance policy to prevent a post breaks it hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland

crucially northern ireland would not be in the e.u.'s customs union boris johnson accepts goods going between island and northern ireland would be subject to customs checks but insists physical checks could happen well away from the border. in brussels the reaction has been less that it stick there is progress. but to be frank a lot of work still needs to be done to reach into. this republic people to backstop no border or arnold economy and protecting the should go to market. first assessment of nearly every member of the axis steering group was not positive i do think it's a sin. serious effort or is is just trying to put the blame on you. i think that last point was not so bad that in britain there have been suggestions johnson's plan was drafted specifically to be unacceptable to ireland and hence the e.u.

children risking it all put fame and fortune in the country's most popular school. with the death of a 13 year old boy response polls to ban them from the $1.00 to $1.00 a speech thailand's child on. the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change has borne from just 12 years to avoid contest with governments having failed so far to take effective action to come by global warming many and are looking to science and technology to come up with ways of bringing temperatures under control but what kinds of solutions being devised and how effective could they be reporter eric campbell has been finding out .

we start our journey in a city moving on from carbon. few places are as eager as copenhagen to get power from wind and even in this weather from sun. know where this plane came into ditch cars that parks. klaus bonded as director of the danish cyclists federation and a former mayor of the city. he's leading its push to be the 1st carbon neutral capital by 2020. i do believe that there is

a strong political consensus in denmark that we need to act it's pretty cold right now but we had an extremely hot shot it didn't rain for 2 and half months here. but then i think this is why is there something going on. and i think we have to realise that something is going to. copenhagen has been breaking all records in traditional ways to clean air. that according to the speaker's 1631 box of cross this bridge this morning alone in the past year it's been 3519062 it's extraordinary but the problem is no matter how much we ride them or how much we recycle the matter how fast communities transition to renewables it's probably not going to be faster now because governments aren't meeting the commitments they made at the paris climate change conference to cut emissions the politics are failing which is why there's now such

an urgent push to try a new technology to experiment with things that sound like science fiction but cope with the only way to ensure a secure future is a fact. the warning was sounded in october by the i.p.c.c. the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change which are working long leading scientists say carbon needed to be almost hot from 2010 levels to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. otherwise runaway temperatures would destroy the right valley a reef droughts and hurricanes would become the norm milty our sheet would flood major cities. but our sky mythologised jason

box a former leader all fit to be on a c c says even that won't be enough. it's frightening and i'm sorry to say this but that one and a half to greece global warming we still have like 2 and a half to greese of summer arctic warming and that pushes greenland beyond its threshold of viability so we still do screen land but at a slower rate. based in copenhagen he measures our street treat for the geological survey of denmark and greenland. when we lose the reflective cover of the arctic sea ice when we lose the greenland ice sheet and the climate system globally unravels and and it's going to create the kind of problems that will make it pretty hard to govern society. the migrations the droughts so what's at risk here is is

practically civilization. coral professor bach shares the frustration of all scientists contributing to the i.p.c.c. see. its evidence gathered through years of painstaking field work is often. north by politicians. politicians from governments that dismiss i.p.c.c. reports that's not conservative it's not progressive certainly it is insanity . he fears the world will need massive technological fixes called geo engineering literally read engineering the earth if you just hold back what's coming. for example we can slow down melting of the antarctic ice by piling up sand on the sea floor simply to block a warm currents that are already destabilizing the whole west antarctic ice sheet.

other id's include covering oceans with iron filings to encourage carbon e.g. plankton. sending ships around the world to pump seawater mist into the sky to diffuse the sun's writings we have some ideas and we need to try several technologies and evaluate them and figure out which are the least risky etc 2 to get the carbon curve which is like this now to get it negative. and that all needs to happen in the next. 1020 years to start down that path it's extremely ambitious . the idea of geo engineering has excised it but scientists and industry. on the other side of copenhagen i've come to meet a prominent political scientist dr be a he did it by using lots and lots of coal he's a favorite commentator in conservative media for giving against major cuts to

fossil fuels and i would say look if you say to people there is another solution yes it is going to take the attention somewhat away from the original solution but we should also be honest and say we've tried the 1st solution namely ask people. could you please use the car less could you please use less energy could you please turn off your lights and it's not work for 30 years and actually there is about half a planet who's waiting to get more energy availability why do we talk to them except that fossil fuel emissions are warming the planet he just thinks geo engineering will cool look much faster than switching to review. because it's so cheap it's very likely to happen sooner or later some indian billionaire or some saudi billionaire is going to do it all by themselves just turn it down a little bit to pre-industrial temperatures or wherever we decide to to have it and that would be essentially avoiding a large part not all but

a large part of the global warming problem. so what are the most likely fixes and would they really work most of these globally ambitious projects are still on the drawing board but one surprising new technology is up and running in a place generally seen this need to be able to. get strongly no home of persuasion innovation. from swiss watches that never lose time just with i mean i was in a country permanently a piece of small company here with 0 believes it's found what could be a big part of the solution to problems. christoph cobalt and spark a ph d. students when they decided to form a world changing company. tonight they're celebrating clime works 9th anniversary

so we're still not making money so of course money is not the motivation the money ration as solving a big challenge and there is probably as little as challenging as climate change. this illusion is building giant. hands that drawer in it and bind carbon molecules of the filters. the carbon free air is released back into the atmosphere the c o 2 is super heated and collect this gas i like to call it low tech not high tech and it's actually very simple the challenging part is making it work and making it cheap. in just 2 years they've opened the plants in switzerland icelandic italy. they believe they could remove 10 percent of the carbon the i.p.c.c. wants cuts. their 1st target is one percent by 2025.

it's like 300000000 tons of c o 2 and that we're require a quarter 1000000 machines. but in this developmental stage removing just one tonne of carbon costs and an economical $600.00 us dollars we are confident that in the next 2 to 3 years we will have our cost and the ranch off 2 to $300.00 per tonne and the mid to long term and that's for us 2025 to 2030 and we see cost as $100.00 as feasible. so the big question is what do you do with all this captured c o 2 well fortunately in this case there's a greenhouse just 300 meters away so half of the carbon sucked in the ferns it's piped underground of the greenhouse and turns into vegies. plants absorb carbon so the greenhouse buys the gas this fertilizer.

since it started spraying crop production is increased by 10 percent. the quicker the process can turn a profit the more likely it is to spread round the world. even in frosty switzerland there's a real sense of. urgency about limiting global warming. i came here for the mountains to climb to ski and in the alps you could see very early signs of climate change and of course closures are disappearing like we want to stop that if with and without climate change but the speed of disappearance is shocking. patrick hofstetter from the world wildlife fund took us out to see the disappearing place in. the alps

a bore me more than twice as fast as the rest of europe over some of it was our president to drown. yeah that's really special for us to farmers don't know dissertation yet. their grass stopped growing state there is a shortage. they actually started to slaughter their cows much earlier. after does so really dry summer i can feel a renewed sense of urgency especially also because the farmers are now going to really accept that they are directly affected by it. 3 hours from superrich we come to what used to be the start of the giant mall to rochdale i see. this all used to be thought of the traffic. 150 years think a place that came up all the way to. all the way to the station that area.

good for. me since then it's retreated by 3 kilometers the other with factory and 600 meters of that in just the past decade. i mean they're building this ancient place here is expected to disappear entirely within a lot of time. so are all the places in switzerland recently protections shared by end of the century most of them build disappear completely on the few will remain in the very top mountains. the changing climate is already pushing me connally. many ski fields are now bare until after christmas. this is the situation we face in the last 10 years since i got laid translator they have to do a lot of establishing to prepare or drive down here slopes.

even at higher altitude ski resorts are laying giant insulation sheets over places to preserve snow. from may to october more or less they cover it like that and they remove it in october and start to ski again. they cover iglesias with blankets trying to stop the building while it's actually just slowing down the process so it's not a solution it's. to fight the symptoms of climate change. we have been doing to engineering now for many many decades in actually burning so much fossil fuel and altering the climate by humankind that we have to look now in a similar scaling to solutions to the problem. as we are here some believe the real added to climate change is 20 kilometers up

there next stop we're waiting scientists who don't want to put blankets on glaciers they want to blanket the atmosphere. in the hallowed halls of harvard university research is i'm looking at just how practical and dangerous geo engineering. saying here we have one of the big pieces of test equipment that we use. in preparation for putting instruments into the stratosphere engineering professor frank is preparing for the 1st test mission later this year. ok and so when put instruments into the vacuum turn and then we can simulate the stratospheric pressure so you have a 20 kilometers. belt use a high altitude balloon to scatter the sun reflecting aerosols across the upper atmosphere. right now they're fine tuning equipment to measure the effect.

without the spice race in a way it does on a much smaller scale. they fly up into the stratosphere high above us the white board theory is that tons of tiny sulfur particles delivered by specially modified planes would lower the earth's temperature. would result in cooling the planet. it's what happened naturally in 991 after the philippines mount pinatubo but i know . and this gas then reacts in the stratosphere with accidents and turns into a soft you're right acid for the few years after mount pinatubo the temperature was noticeably lower and it cooled down the planet that was one effect that you got from what i've got to agree it was you know it was probably the range of about half a degree celsius. trouble is

a quick fix like that could have dusty side effects and what was also apparent after mount pinatubo and other volcanic eruption is that these particles in the end reduce the amount of ozone in the stratosphere so you know we've been trying to do a lot to actually fix the boat on land and here you now have the idea of introducing something that could destroy it again. and it's not just those risks the bank this project controversial it's the fear held by many of the scientists themselves that just the suggestion of a magic bullet gives governments an excuse to keep pumping up a missions. so good you've been running the numbers on this i mean is it economically feasible part of the problem is just how much cheaper these geoengineering would be than switching to a new city if anything is to chief economist know wagner is the project's executive director it's so cheap that to be talking about single digit billions of dollars to

potentially influence entire planet's climate now if i was running a fossil fuel corporation abhi thinking great this can solve the problem and we can keep digging up coal and frankly that's the problem right so i guess you might consider that to the vested interest not in fact be very. in something like this as you know yet another excuse not to cut c 2 emissions. very often compared stratospheric ginger into painkillers this does not fix the problem right it does nothing about c o 2 1st of all. we're just reducing symptoms and then human nature can kick in and say well you know it's hard to deal with changing the energy infrastructure which is very true it's a huge problem so in the end any decision will always have to be based on imperfect knowledge do you ever feel like this is playing god it is there's a huge amount of hubris in this idea of saying wow oh we've caused

a problem let's fix the problem and i know how to do this we're going to do this and we know exactly what's going to happen to the whole planet yes it has a lot of that is actually quite unsettling and quite frankly makes me quite anxious these can provide endless possibilities whatever geo engineering can achieve the i.p.c.c. says the most carbon intensive fuel should still be phased out by 2050 at our next stop we'll see how the industry is fighting back because the jews it's a mission to keep this. goose it is a city built on. mining fossil fuel just as much a part of texas culture as raising cattle it's good. but these days big energy is trying to sidestep demands to cut production. its

response is a much touted technology to cut the carbon footprint. for today we're heading out to texas is the biggest pal play it safe in the earth what the industry likes to call playing call. this is patron no. it's a coal fired generation with a $1000000000.00 absorption tower unit a day that last after the coal is burned be admissions of pumps through it and sold the collects much of the c o 2 before it hits the atmosphere. it's early days to get excited. the tower captures carbon from just one of the complexes in generating units. what's more it doesn't actually reduce emissions over roll. the captured carbon is

pumped in liquid form enjoy the oil field. they put c o 2 in the oil fields and then you get more oil right as company spokesman david knox explains it breaks up stuff and deposits so they can extract more oil the c o 2 has a tendency it bonds with oil and when it launched it makes it slippery and when it's slippery or it comes off of the rock that last bit of oil in there but if you capturing c o 2 but to get more oil on to actually increasing the amount of c o 2 overall it was if we were increasing the amount of oil that's being used but we don't actually have any impact on the amount of oil it's been used the oil is the same amount being used we're just increasing the domestic production and we don't have to import as much oil from foreign countries. the industry is looking at other options like superheating call that still produces

and they shouldn't without. well still since. this unit the small one in canada are the only ones in cold blood plants using carbon capture the personally. there is such a thing as clean coal but it is only that these 2 use. the economics are very challenging when will there be another one bill i'm not good at predicting the future but we now know that we can build one on time on budget. the uncertainty hasn't stopped politicians insisting the industry is saying. we have and the war on beautiful will lean coal. even. some time consultant to begin a g.e. is skeptical clean coal has been a mirage for very many years it would be wonderful if you could actually have all the benefits of the cheapest fossil fuel and cut the carbon emissions but it turns

out it's fairly expensive to do on the on the coal fired power plant that is actually takes out some of the energy that you would otherwise produce so it has real cost and of course you also have to store it securely and there's been a lots of conversations about that we've not really seen it running and we certainly haven't seen it running cheaply so again it's one of the things that we should investigate but we're not ready to do it any time soon. back in copenhagen citizens continue to do their bit for the. doctor lobel doubts his competitor gets whatever except the real cost of abandoning fossil fuel. most people are not content to only be able to charge their phones for how have their t.v.'s running or indeed their operating theaters and hospitals running when the sun is shining and when the sun is not shining the cost from solar panels is infinite and likewise with with wind turbines when the wind is. why.

it's not true this idea that when the sun's not shining the wind's not blowing we're not getting that energy because when the sun is shining in the wind is blowing you can charge batteries and so the frontier is battery technology. no matter how fast the world switches to renewable energy the age of untested high risk of geo engineering could soon be a promise. we don't get there by going you're trolling for better or for worse geo engineering is part of the mix going forward because we cannot get to where we need to be by conservation alone. it could be the last throw of the dice to save the planet after decades of governments ignoring dial warnings simply going green may not be cowed by at least.

insecurity in iraq for the closure of 2 border crossings security forces opened fire on crowds of people in several areas the worst of the violence happened in nasiriyah in the south a policeman was among the 9 dead in baghdad at least $130.00 people have been injured a curfew. was in place restricting the move for the whole private cars and most people exceptions include hospital workers babilon says but it seems that people are already defying the field with gunfire reported in several areas of the capital al jazeera said ron kot is live now on the line from iraq's capital iran more salacious. what i can tell you is that protesters gathering in central baghdad the focal point for the process has always been to create square it's one big square in the center of the city what happened when the security forces pull in effect a ring a bomb around that square and try to stop protesters from reaching the square that

meant a lot crashes are even like in the surrounding neighborhoods and streets and then it's 5 am local time is when the government announced the curfew they say because he will continue until further notice it is holding the young people out on the streets security forces. because. people are gathering in the streets need to tap square the gathering in significant numbers what we're hearing from the protesters themselves is that 3 o'clock local time they will try and push towards a square again so this thing is being said britain other sorry down between the protesters and the city iraq security forces what are the chances of the government being able to keep a lid on this anger. well here's the thing what we're hearing from not just the protesters but from any political observer and amulets that we've been speaking to is that they seem very much a leaderless movement now because there's no room for the government to negotiate

agreed to bring an end to this it's going to be very difficult to start a government back to stop people coming out on the streets because that coming out appearing a court. because of them has announced 2 key measures what it's going to set up a commission to investigate the events it's also said that it does want to move to the protesters but quite. unclear like i say this is a seemingly a leader who must also look at protests that are demanding isn't going to be satisfied or even not because millions are chilled or even lightly through the protests the key to all of the jobs bill of opportunity and they were meant to government troops in iraq many thanks i was it was him on call that live in baghdad well no the protests appear to be spontaneous without clear leadership that driven by common concerns a major one is anger at widespread government corruption iraq ranks as one of the most corrupt countries in the world ranking 16875 surveyed by transparency

international says a chronic lack of basic services like electricity and water in the 2900 budget only 8 percent has been allocated for education reconstruction and health sectors combined that's compared to 14 percent on oil on top of that many people are struggling to find jobs 13 percent of all adults are unemployed that goes up to more than a course for young people of working age sod job one is a member of the research committee in the middle east center of the london school of economics he joins us now live from london sa good to have you with us and what in your opinion has triggered this outpouring of anger among people in iraq apparently so spontaneously why now. well on top of than direct things you have mentioned there are dialect issues which have assaulted or insulted the iraqis one of them is the attack made on some other

200. u.k.p. people holders of high certification a ph d. and a messy but where protesting for not being appointed in the front of peacefully of course and sit in front of the ministry of higher education they were dealt with violently by force and torture they were beaten in front of the ministry and nobody said anything about that the 2nd issue is this sidelining of iraqi war hero who has defeated the isis forces in most. to create and force them to go out and the most of people made a statute for him in the front and in the center of mosul but the government then moved to unveil this this is that you under moved it in the end and they that he would be appointed. provincial.

administrator of mosul and he was removed from that position without any real reason for doing that these 2 things are such that the people where our iraq political leaders opposition party leaders where is my father does he have anything to do with these protests i mean he's someone who could perhaps be expected to have capitalized upon them. this is the thing this is what i wrote 2 days ago i said for the 1st time not the other side the iraqi government is part the one is secular and one there's a religious parties have failed in this. test because they thought they did not they not only did not join these do installations but they are also issues statements but event thing that follows from joining these demonstrations which was a very big mistake taken by that some people say that look the other said that

because he is in iran he was forced to take this by the iranians who are not of course in favor of the illustration as good as the go against a government which they support of course the iraqi government spot is very fear for their position in the government and they have taken this decision now there are talks that mr saddam has gone back to baghdad or come came back to baghdad in order to lead the dominee these demonstration control it's between it's but at the now there is nothing confirmed about these news but i think because his position was weakened by this decision. it was many thanks to joe what that in london a protest shot and injured by police in hong kong on tuesday has been charged over his involvement in violent demonstrations student summer rally outside chinese university in hong kong to protest against the shooting the 18 year old student is

charged with rising and with assaulting 2 police officers the 2nd life now to hong kong and to sarah sarah clarke is outside the shot in courthouse. sara what happened in court today. number one he wasn't here simply because he's still in the hospital he's in a stable condition in the queen elizabeth hospital that he was charged with 3 offenses one as you mentioned is rushing a 2nd and thirdly assaulting a police officer he was one of 7 cases that were heard in the court which is where we are now and i should say that the people behind me about you might ever see a line of people with umbrellas these are the people the protesters or the supporters i should say of the anti-government protesters who have appeared today in court and they're holding their own brothers up trying to protect them those people who did attend there were 4 out of the 7 who attended today's hearing thursday's hearing simply because the other 3 are still in hospital they're about to walk out of this court but again these supporters are protecting their identity

from any onlookers now we've had a number of groups of protests that have been held to support this particular 18 year old is the one who was shot with a live bullet from the police officer during tuesday's demonstration and these people are angry at the police for what they say is excessive force the questions are why they used live bullets during a demonstration and why was the gun fired at these protesters chest as opposed to being shot down so as you can see behind me this court hearing it happened today which is it will resume tomorrow because various conditions but this is a group of a number of people who are going through these courts charged with writing sunday's assembly as well as demonstration it's sort of what happens next is the government looking to the next emergency powers. in the last couple of hours. the south china morning post is reporting that the government is going to host a formal meeting tomorrow the executive council which is effectively the government

cabinet looking to potentially consider implementing an anti mosque bill and this is using their installing the emergency power looks like we're going to cherry pick those emergency powers to put this in place so that bill would simply main these various assemblies the protesters can't wear their masks making it easier for the 5 people who are fighting number one. and those who i believe may be leading the demonstrations of the violent elements of those demonstrations and if approved to come into force quite quickly and effectively before even next week and the government will hold that executive council meeting on friday and carry hong kong's chief executive is expected to make an announcement shortly. how does a circle are exporting live from hong kong ceremony thanks this is the news hour for mountains there is still to come a program. this is a hoax this is the greatest hoax donald trump attacks democrats to target to pursue
