ukrainian president that's what launched the impeachment inquiry now targeting the president democrats heard from another witness friday the intelligence community inspector general who investigated the whistleblower report but we have evidence of text messages between state department officials expressing concern as early as may that rudy giuliani had a jew there was a giuliani biting thing going on that had concerned a state department official we have evidence that a state department official was concerned that there was a linkage between security assistance and as he described a domestic political campaign democrats are trying to build a compelling case for impeachment not only to convince the american public but also senate republicans it would take a swell of republican de factors to remove trump from office and thus far there's only been a trickle. castro al-jazeera capitol hill meanwhile president trump signed

a proclamation preventing immigrants who can't afford health care from entering the united states those really hating to the u.s. will now have to prove they can afford medical costs or to be able to get health insurance within 30 days of a rival officials in north korea and the u.s. to resume their talks on denuclearization north korea's nuclear negotiator and the u.s. president's special envoy are among those meeting on an island off stockholm they will discuss north korea ending its nuclear program in return for sanctions being lifted saturday's formal talks are the 1st since donald trump and kim jong un met back in june. are now a senior partner at control risks asia pacific and a former u.s. diplomat he explained to us what does north korea hopes to get out of the talks. well there what north korea really wants is a relief from the sanctions regime that's in place by the un by the united states

and so this game that they play of kind of will will give you something decommissioning of a facility or a. moratorium on testing of missiles or nuclear weapons etc in return for the lifting of sanctions is kind of the stock standard process that we go through every every few years so there is something very much in it for them and they absolutely want relief relief from those sanctions and they really the question is you know what are they willing to give up in order to get get some of that. still ahead on al jazeera prepares to vote in its 2nd election since the revolution that is a big task awaiting the winner from france is bracing for more protests this time of access to i.v.'s looking at why a new lowrance course. there

the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change was born but it's just world news to avoid one test with governments having failed so far to take effective action to come but global warming many of them 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 would 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. no way this plane came into a 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 $22.00 and. 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 have an extremely hot shot it didn't rain for 20 half months here. but nothing this is why is there something going on. and i think we have to realize that something is going to. copenhagen has been breaking all records in traditional ways to clean air. according to this beta 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 on leading scientists say carbon needed to be almost hot from 2010 levels to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. otherwise runaway temperatures were destroyed but right badly a reef droughts and hurricanes would become the norm milty are sheets would flood major cities. but our sky mythologised jason

fox the former leader all fit to be i.p.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 lose greenland 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 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 bob 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 sheet 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 ion 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 excise it but scientists and industry. on the other side of copenhagen i've come to meet a prominent political scientist dr. 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. 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 retrieve. it strongly know whom a prestigious innovation. from swiss watches that never lose time just was i when i was in the country permanently a piece of small company. believes it's found what could be a big part of the solution to problems. christophe the bolton would 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 tonnes 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 at 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 unprecedented drought. yeah that's really special for us to farmers don't notice it to asian yet. the 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 now i 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 major rochdale i.c.u. . to be full of the track.
