parties across the board this is set for a collapse unless we fix it in the next few hours scientists warn that if it continues to warm there could be widespread shortages of food water more weather disasters and rising seas there clark has more from madrid it was supposed to be the conference that would launch this green board of optimism into 2020 the year that the paris agreement finally became this instruments of international cooperation in the fight against climate change instead what we got was disappearing into a black hole of national differences led by australia by brazil by japan by the united states and by more people and up until now we've had this watered down agreement that is a 1000000 miles away from what science says is needed to be done and what the mood on the street reflects is needed to be done a new text has been published we got reaction. i think what's happening with the
6:04 am
paris agreement and said people are some countries in particular trying to push it back from the level of ambition that we had which was a very ambitious anyway was good enough but it wasn't really very good we need to raise ambition and countries are trying to push back on the level of ambition that they had promised to them and we don't mean that madrid is a failure it might mean a madrid is a failure but then i feel that no decision is better than a bad decision and if it's a choice between a bad decision and no decision and no decision is better it isn't over yet and the talks will continue some of these negotiators have been asked for more than 36 hours but the willingness and the cooperation of the 2015 pounds agreement well that seems with is a very mean a raman is an environmental lawyer and coordinator of the climate change program of the 3rd world network she says the u.s. is stalling the negotiations. what gets screamed wrangling over
6:05 am
it's nothing new we've seen this before we've been there and i believe they will come together but the issue is really where there is going to be a weak compromise or whether it will be a strong a stronger expectations so that remains to be seen but at the moment i think they will come together but the issue relieves. you know who are they trying to piece i think the core presidency is trying to get everybody in the table but it seems to me one of the biggest elephant in the room is actually the times of the united states the united states as you know has already indicated that it will no longer be a party to the various agreement yes it sits there and go she. and for many of us it's it's this is not good faith because the united states is actually stalling a lot of the discussions around in bishan around finance around us and damage one of the biggest and strongest things that developing countries have been saying is
6:06 am
when you talk about envision it's envision not just of emission reductions it's also ambition on finance it's also envision on adaptations because many countries it no choice but to adapt to climate change because we're facing the impacts so you can just see every should reductions along for developing countries because they already struggling with patients and loss and damage and that is why ambition on all level is critical so i think the trucks it's always been difficult in this way because of the finance issue so don's former president on one of the shared has been found guilty of corruption and sentenced to 2 years in detention but the 75 year old will not serve his time in prison instead he'll be sent to a reform center for elderly people a trial centered around suitcases found the bashir is home filled with more than 130000000 dollars her morgan reports from the capital khartoum. the verdict is
