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 our one degree people are dying from the climate crisis. because that is what the united science calls for to avoid the stabilising the climates so that we have the best possible chance to avoid setting up a bit of us to build chain reactions to grab his words had no effect conference it

7:04 pm
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 must match the science otherwise many believe we face runaway climate change and the clock al-jazeera imagery. saying is the global climate leader in south africa based action aid he says that there are still 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 year so it 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 to be anough with different station the younger that we have as developing

7:06 pm
envoy to these talks spoken. earlier today in this forum no cameras were allowed so that speech was not recorded and was not transmitted life by the media but he said basically that he basically any today or issued a warning to the taliban that's one of these warnings that you know regular warnings to the taliban's whenever there is a hiccup in the years 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 only 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 believe in the 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 that my this time around seems to be willing to understand that there could be
7:07 pm
problems of coordination between the leadership here 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 not there is hope of these talks this time around is going to going to go ahead some time in the near future or months of u.s. and afghan aerial bombings are said to have severely reduced eyesores forces in the country military officials say that only around half of the group's $4000.00 fighters are thought to be still active across afghanistan but as tony berkeley reports now from the province civilians are facing the brunt of the sustained bombing campaign. this is the village of good day in a province close to the pakistan border it was the stronghold of i still in afghanistan now it's a ruin destroyed by u.s. bombs it was so here that the armed group planned and long. attacks and carried out
7:08 pm
brutal punishments but over the last few months the u.s. and afghan air forces have waged a sustained bombing campaign at a 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 trying to. do try to stick to beauty's. to explore didn't and the city cost more civilian

7:10 pm
gonna. be pocketing a one a stone and be difficult to say that there 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 are resting under a tree. it's the rural communities that are suffering the most in the bombing and fighting. broke with this but our villages destroyed our mosques destroyed other villages as well we lost our people our livestock in this war every family lost loved ones including women and children. the war will eventually come to an end but
