the streets it was 8000000 in september you have impacts happening from australia to germany and you have science that is becoming more compelling and more and deniable and the and the things that they have predicted are actually more conservative than what we're seeing now i think it's time for real action we can't just rehash what we agreed to 5 years ago. in the year of mass climate protest it's not surprising that direct action found its way into the exhibition holes in madrid given the chasm that exists between what science says is required to be done and the snail's pace of progress from national delegations the star of the climate movement home did on the science and why is it so important to stay below 1.5 degrees. because even to one degree people are dying from the climate crisis. because those would be united science calls for to avoid the stabilising the climates so that we have the best possible chance to avoid setting up irreversible

5:04 pm
here and we get the opposite of what they say is so disappointing the arguments here in madrid have been relentless and many are now questioning whether this multilateral approach is fit for purpose so in one year's time the crucial climate summit in glasgow where national commitments to cut emissions not so much the science otherwise many believe we face runaway climate change and the clock al-jazeera imagery will hard saying as the global climate leads on south africa based ngo africa action aids he says there are so many more steps to be taken by the global community we could not resolve all the issues and we had all these issues to be dissolved in these 12 days and of course the talks got extended that's not that i critical and that's why they're now being shifted to next deals which means we'll have a lot more on the plate with chicken a tiny little step just do offer some technical help to countries that's not going
5:05 pm
to be anough with different station the younger the 3 have as developing countries and we talk to small island states but they are sinking as we speak 45000000 people enough without facing one of the worst drought in 35 years. if i speak on their behalf are they going to get any relief in the next few days weeks months no i don't see that coming for that that's where the system has failed completely and that's where the 1st that's where the frustration is more than process when it will always causing the problem and the call odors believes who are blocking it and that's very united states australia canada japan even european union had not played a video constructive at all so we need to call them out as well the u.s. special envoy to afghanistan zalmay her position a warning to the taliban while attending the doha forum here in qatar on thursday talks between the u.s. and the taliban were again put on hold after an attack on a u.s. military base north of kabul but as mohammed dahlan reports the u.s.
5:06 pm
is hopeful peace talks will resume soon. zalmai what it is that the u.s. envoy to these talks spoke a bit earlier today in this forum no cameras were allowed so that speech was not recorded and was not transmitted live by the media but he said basically that he basically any today issued a warning to the taliban that's one of his warnings of you know regular warning to the taliban's whenever there is a hiccup in these talks this time around it seems to be a measure to the attack that was a far cry from the attack in september in which several soldiers were killed this one would be to civilians were killed days ago so he said we are watching taliban and we are watching their behavior and these talks depend on the behavior by the taliban afghanistan has changed there are many parties plea in their conflict in afghanistan and taliban have to know that they have to behave if they want these talks to succeed so he gave that warning but i said it is measured it's very clear
5:07 pm
that my this time around seems to be willing to understand that there could be problems of coordination between the leadership that is negotiating in doha and some of the field commanders who give orders for attacks inside afghanistan and. the overall picture of things here is that there is hope of these talks this time around is going to are going to go ahead some time in the near future. and months of u.s. and afghan aerial bombings is said to have severely reduced eisel forces military officials say only around a half of the group's $4000.00 fighters are still thought to be active across afghanistan but as tony pertly reports an end to her province civilians are bearing the brunt of the sustained bombing campaign. this is the village of good day in one province close to the pakistan border it was the stronghold of eisel in afghanistan now it's a ruling destroyed by u.s.
5:08 pm
bombs he will hear that the armed groups planned and launched attacks and carried out grew. punishment's but over the last few months the u.s. and afghan air forces have waged a sustained bombing campaign that has significantly reduced eyesores capability washtub. the joint campaign with the us has been big and effective it has been a game changer and will continue wherever they are we will target them i saw is in the process of being eradicated we won't stop until we are. that contrast with the situation 6 months ago when i saw all bolstered by fighters from iraq and syria was being described as a serious threat 2 weeks ago hundreds of its fighters surrendered to the afghan government in action district now it's estimated that only half of the 4000 strong force is still intact the afghan army has been helped by a string of recent successes against both the taliban and i still do not trying to . do try to stick to varieties. to explore didn't and the city
5:09 pm
cost more civilian casualty and. now we prove. we have the spall to kick them out like we did to take more territory of from them they create bed in to follow them to the end there's no question that i still have suffered some major setbacks recently but when to side with its lack of ground cover is normally the time when it reduces its activities so spring time will be the test for the government can't fully focus on defeating i saw it's a war with the taliban is over it may be losing but i saw as hardline ideology may be harder to defeat it's supported by other like minded afghan groups such as the seller fees and what. they're not completely eliminated but the progress is remarkable which which makes sense and for as long as you you have. what we
5:10 pm
call. salafi wahhabi pocketing a one a stone and be difficult to say that they have been completely eliminated the u.s. is trying its best it is on course to drop more bombs this year than any year since 2010 some believe it's to bring the war to an end before next year's u.s. presidential election but it's costing civilian casualties according to u.n. agencies so far this year american bombers and unmanned drone strikes have killed a record number of 600 people including children and wounded 300 more these angry villagers staged a protest after a recent u.s. bombing killed 20 pine knot workers who were resting under a tree. it's the rural communities that are suffering the most in the bombing and fighting. broke with this beauty our villages destroyed our mosques destroyed other villages as well we lost our people our lives documents will every family lost
5:11 pm
loved ones including women and children. the war will eventually come to an end but it's clear there will be no winners tony berkeley al jazeera nangarhar province. another process is getting underway right know in lebanon's capital this follows a night of violence at around the end bay bridge several people were injured after security forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disparage the crowds right police beats and detained some protesters after they tried to break into a barricaded area where people have been protests and because they're angry of a crapshoot and sectarianism. and as we speak another process is taking place right in front of the interior ministry more now from our correspondents in $100.00 say not what's happening at the moment and do we risk seeing a repeat of the violence of last night. well people have
5:12 pm
started to converge on martyrs square town the epicenter of the protest movement activists are calling for a mass gathering for more than one reason they want to show the ruling class those in power that they are standing their ground they are determined to push ahead with their demands they want the ruling elite to leave office they've been in power for 30 years and they're accusing them of corruption and leading our steering lebanon into its worst economic crisis since the end of the civil war in 1990 so the turnout is going to be because if there is a large turnout then people really are not intimidated activists are quite worried that what we saw last night on saturday night confrontations between the security forces and the protesters are going to intimidate people even further and not to take to the streets last night up to 50 people were injured treated in hospital security forces used tear gas rubber bullets water kaplan's excessive force really
5:13 pm
you saw that play out on live television the way more than one security officer would be beating up on armed protesters so the feeling here is those in power are going to use whatever means available including the use of force to crush the protest movement which is now in its 2nd month what people here want is for those in power to leave office they're not standing down and that is their message now it's still a bit early to judge but i can say the numbers that have shown up as of now are much less than what we saw during the 1st few weeks of. this uprising. and so you know if we look ahead to monday the parliament is expected to name a prime minister a really cool new government being formed. no we're not any close so what is happening is that political parties in power are bargaining amongst themselves on the shape and makeup of the next government what seems to be clear. that caretaker prime minister who resigned 6 weeks ago due to protests in
5:14 pm
the streets is going to be reappointed not by everybody not not all the different parliamentary blocs are going to throw their weight behind him but there's little choice because the post of prime minister is reserved for a sunday muslim and levanon sectarian based power sharing agreements if he does not return to office then the senate community will feel well why are we just the scapegoats why is the president who is a christian and the speaker of parliament who is a shia remain in office and the prime minister is out of government but even if he is appointed as prime minister it's going to be very difficult for him to form a government without the support of his rivals and we heard just 2 days ago from the powerful iranian backed hezbollah movement which really controls government along with its allies and parliament they're saying it's not going to be easy because we're not going to accept any government unless we are represented in that government so a lot of the governmental impasse is still there while the economic situation only
5:15 pm
worsens people are losing jobs companies are shutting down there are bank controls the local currency is losing value so levanon really after bring. their life for us in beirut thank you. still to come here on out to syria this outlines a nomination iraqi prime minister is near the question remains can the choice an ongoing antigovernment protests by down because it's probably the heaviest carbon footprint that we create as individuals and we'll meet one person doing his bids for the environments and his own unique way. hello again it's good to have you back well we're going to be seeing
5:16 pm

5:17 pm
on monday it is going to be a cloudy day with showers in the in the area and by the time we get towards tuesday expect to see more clouds temp just coming down to about $23.00 but the heaviest rains are pushing over towards parts of iran. think stories generate fountains of headlines these protests are saying down with the system and down with all of the parts with different angles from different perspectives just because we came to prison doesn't mean the right stuff that the gate separate the spin from the facts the western media jumps on stories without taking down the misinformation from the journalism it's about telling the stories of those human beings on the ground with the listening post on al-jazeera.

5:22 pm
unfold from what we understand this is not going to help the situation at all and the main reason is because this that is the iraqi constitution is at the core of the problem the iraqi people the demonstrators that we've seen are saying that their reason they're on happy with the system is that their government is based on a parliamentary system and they want a presidential one that means that they have a right to elect their own leadership now what is going to happen as of monday at midnight the president has to nominate a name for the next prime minister and then what will happen is that person will have 30 days to put together a cabinet which will then all go to a vote in parliament that is one in 30 days the parliament will decide whether or not to accept this nomination of the president as well as his cabinet but many of the analysts we spoke to here say that it is very unlikely that the demonstrators and people on the street who we happy with any kind of
5:23 pm
a name that is put forth because they want to be able to the sides on who leads their country and they are tired of trying to accommodate the other influences that are present in iraq mainly iran and the united states the iraqi people say that they want to be free of that in their own government for the time being the president is pushing his limit to the very last minute trying to come up with a name that will please all sides as well as the many people on the streets but it remains to be seen as if if that name actually exists at all. syrians who fled the last remaining rebel held province say homes and hospitals are being attacked indiscriminately 18000 people reportedly displaced from adler province in just 24 hours last week syrian artillery bombardment and russian air strikes intensified despite a cease fire where many of the displaced are living in desperate conditions in camps near the turkish border. and is home minister says he is willing to discuss suggestions for changes to the new citizenship law following days of protests the
