a summit on how to deal with the effects of climate change is hosted by the netherlands brings together more than $120.00 nations along with 90 global bodies that all previous summits of focused on the courses of climate change this is the 1st on coping with the effects new research presented at the summit suggests that hoff a 1000000 people have been killed by extreme weather events this century the u.s. is promising global leadership president joe biden's climate envoy john kerry is making his 1st appearance at the global summit last week by an agreed to return to the 2015 paris climate accord we have 3 correspondents covering this issue for us nicholas hock is in the game itself a goal where rising sea waters are threatening communities can really help it is in washington d.c. for us to talk us through the priorities of the buy ministration on tackling climate change but 1st let's speak to step boston who is following that summit at the hague step what's the latest that. well we've been listening to

30 world leaders government leaders in the last couple of hours and they all make very strong commitments to put money in into climate adaptation as of course it's significant that the $2.00 largest emitters china and the united states are involved as well but of course this summit comes at a very crucial time when all the countries are struggling with a covert 1000 pandemic and that's of course immediately the 1st question will they actually put this money in climate friendly investments and that's where a lot of people are worried about so that's why for a marker to the prime minister of the nat'l and sad climate should be at the heart of this covert 19 response so the 12 trillion u.s. dollars that worldwide it's blatche to put into the recovery of economies should go to climate adaptation at least part of it it's very important because especially also internationally and the country is 30 percent below sea level we've been

struggling here not only way to change in weather storms but also drop and rising sea levels as you can see in our report. managing water has always been a matter of survival for the dutch if it weren't for the 22000 kilometers of dikes a large part of this land would not even exist but increasingly the country's defense against the elements has to be strengthened against rising sea levels and storms the often low house has lived on the water for decades and after documented in the effects of climate change in his own country and around the world he says too much time is lost. it is quite possible that if nothing happens. of the century which is 18 years which is one generation so that would be catastrophic it would mean that. would.

be more and have to be. the dangers not only come from the sea but also from the river us that are swallowing more rain water than before storms like these are increasingly common over the dutch lowlands the strong winds and high waves are threatening the country's dikes that were built hundreds of years ago only up until here and now have to be meet us higher a race against time as the climate is changing more rapidly than predicted. in 195-3000 died in the south of the netherlands during floods after the disaster large dams sluices and storm surge barriers were constructed the moslem carrying 4 times have you done the eiffel tower in paris was built to protect the city of rotterdam adaptation is culture in the netherlands live with water already for thousands and thousands of years as the world's only special envoy for what affairs hang over his stars to take the dutch water expertise to the rest of the world the

world has to acknowledge that you don't work with these challenges by looking back and every call for off the disasters no adaptation is about looking ahead to the future and prepare yourself instead of working against the water the dutch are increasingly using its power to strengthen the coastline this so-called sand and gin is a natural way of creating a peninsula by using sand and currents a math that is now also being used along the coast of the u.k. . but despite these innovations god he is less optimistic than that alinsky be saved in the long run. it's predicted to. be one of 300 years that most of them not eligible to start. even so the nat'l and a 3rd of which is below sea level is already beating the odds and it centuries of knowledge of water management is seen as a key to its survival well these figures are very interesting like prime minister

mark if you invest 1.8 trillion into climate adaptation then you can benefit 7 point one trillion so basically not waiting until disasters happen but in fact this money and this money will be well spent that's the main message here during this 2 day summit or at stop many thanks indeed also 0 reporting live from the hague let's go live to washington kimberly how cute is that committee tell us then more about the bite that ministrations ambitions on climate change that will in his 1st major speech as the special climate envoy john kerry made it very clear that he believes that the united states and the world is behind target when it comes to combating global climate change but he also said that the united states is serious about turning it around saying that the body administration has laid out very ambitious goals in order to do that including transitioning to 100 percent

renewables by the year 2035 he also said and with some humility he pointed out that given the last 4 years of the truck administration's policies that the united states has been largely absent from this fight but under a biden administration he promised that everything will change. and president biden knows that we have to mobilize an unprecedented way to meet a challenge that is fast exhilarating and he knows we have limited time to get it under control without reason united states immediately rejoined the terrorist agreement and we intend to do everything we possibly can to ensure that comp 26 results in ambitious climate action in which all major emitter countries raise ambitions significantly and in which we help protect those who are the most vulnerable so the message from john kerry to global leaders is that even though

he is acknowledging that important time has been lost he says that the united states will now do everything it can to make up for it but we should point out that there is controversy in the united states over some of the biden administration policies particularly as it pushes to some of these renewable energy sources the concern being that as the united states is trying to recover economically from the global pandemic that many of these decisions could cost ordinary americans their jobs zeros kimberly how could reporting live from washington many thanks indeed company will africa is in focus at this summit for more on the challenges facing the continental us there is nicholas hawk joins us now from popping game in senegal nick what impact is climate change having that. just look right behind me see this is not the result of an earthquake or

a bombing this is the result of the ocean rising and you see this all along this coast now just behind me is also the summer residence of the president of senegal a couple of years ago they put an embankment up to try to protect it but as a result there's been more water coming in and what you see behind me the destructions of homes that memory is gone well that's the window in the future if world leaders fail to find a new agreement into finding a way to both mitigate climate change and for many people here as you can see it's simply too late we visited the town of santa we where 2 years ago the president might call and the head of the world bank went to that site which is that world heritage world heritage site promising to protect this city that's barely one metre below sea level and we went to visit those communities and as you can see with our report people are fearing for their lives and leaving their homes as the

water continues to move forward. in unexpected tide swept away as in a booth calls home with it a lifetime of memories remember she says to her son at emma how in a matter of hours our living room where you used to watch t.v. kitchen and your bedroom were wiped away by the ocean's currents they now live on the outskirts of the city with thousands of others displaced a new life the city council told them to adapt to. but being forced to live a difficult life here this was supposed to be temporary and we're living here now for 2 years there's no food no help and no sign from authorities anything will change he won't be able to return home. to save what is left of what used to be the capital of the colonial era french west africa france and the world bank have raised $40000000.00 for what they. call climate adaptation the funds have so far been used to buy more tense educate displaced children and construct new embankments but when the tide recedes the ocean's destruction appears entire

neighborhoods of a historic unesco world heritage site are swallowed into the atlantic in 2006 the city cut a 3 metre breach in an embankment thinking it would empty out the water instead it allowed more of it in with the breach growing to 8 kilometers long making matters worse you sand formation has made it dangerous for fishermen to navigate. with but it's a catastrophe more than 500 fishermen have drowned because of the breach people are desperate now that's why so many young people are leaving suddenly to try to get to europe. more than 20000 people made it to spain's canary islands last year many from sunday week as a result the spanish coast guards can now be seen patrolling some of the shores. first spain protecting europe from a wave of illegal migration starts here but there is no protection against the rising oceans for this and they believe living here and while rich polluting

countries asked for countries to adapt to a changing climate people here say the damage is done it's too late women clean up an indignity in the camp an elder takes in a blue son adam aside you have nothing to lose he explains showing him a picture of a young man who is now in madrid with so much loss adapting to a changing climate means letting her son go and brave the oceans tight in search of a safe place to live. 24000000 people were displaced of their home just last year because of the changing climate and many of those people live in poor developing nations that and while some rich countries rich polluting countries debate on ways to finance climate change or for people to adapt to climate change the reality here is people are on the move according to un prediction those numbers could double in

a decade if not more is done to help people build them back to protect what is left of their homes we've met in the course of the last 6 months many migrants that are taking this ocean on a boat to make it to the canary islands the closest border to the european union and when we speak to them we ask them what do you want to do when you're there they say we want to be fisherman we want to be farmers and ask them why well they say because they no longer can do with their trade back home farm lands are affected by increasing drought there is less fish in the ocean because of the rising temperature there. more and less fish to be found this is all a result of climate change and it's forcing people to move according to the united nations by 2100 which is which is 70 years time or 80 years time they might be a 1000000000 people on the search for

no doubt he's certain that the new variant 1st identified in the united kingdom will very soon overtake the original coronavirus in become dominant in this country that explains the haste with which the ministerial circles here i've tried to intensify locked and sort of said that people need to wear masks that can withstand the virus better that can protect people against the virus better why they've extended lockdowns why are they keeping schools shut wherever possible all because their belief is that the new variant will soon dominate in this country because it's so much more infectious that's why they're taking their precautions. mexico's president andras manuel lopez obrador has tested positive for covert 19 the 67 year old has tweeted that he's being treated for mild symptoms and will continue to work from the presidential palace of president or has been criticized

younger workers have also been hit hard but it's not all bad news the report says that as covered by $900.00 facts the nation's take effect most countries will see a recovery in the 2nd half of the year china only is the director of the employment policy to pop into the international labor organization says that many industries words see a turnaround until the 2nd half of this year we actually have a sindhi who are range of jobs and which found been destroyed in the last year paid teacher a 'd daughter sectors flank of the accommodation and we had some contractor manufacturing so some service sectors and many factors were hit very hard to compare to the bits we have to try to actually include those workers from the rural sector samples the informal economy as you are there are so heavily affected by the call with 9 kiran but in the case rural economy because of the nature of their work they are

relatively speaking they are less actually exposed to the cold in 1000 related impacts on the labor market compared to the urban sectors but again informal economy what you really have affected by the crisis is because of or straight into lockdown measures. we actually expect that the 1st half of the this year is faster in the what advanced countries in europe and the u.s. continues to be very difficult to so we expect a significant or lever to working our losses pretty sister in the 2nd half of the 1st half a year so we cooperate on the horizon you know our view will be the 2nd half of the year. in yemen thousands of people are protesting against the trumpet ministrations decision to designate who the rebels as a foreign terrorist organization protestors have been rallying in the capital sanaa and other who take control provinces the current by but ministration is reviewing the designation aid groups say that it will disrupt the operations at home the only

a shots as in other words when you get down to let's say a certain part of the 100 days at the end of 100 days you're going to have some people who will have gotten both shots and some will still be on their 1st shots with the president saying 100000000 shots in the arms of people within $100.00 days and buy into fish oils are accusing the trumpet ministration of making a grave mistake in its endemic response plans everyone american has seen the way in which people get vaccine is chaotic it's very limited we've seen this factor all over the country where millions of doses have been distributed about half of that has been given out the president wants congress to approve nearly 2 trillion dollars in pandemic relief spending this on top of the $900000000000.00 measure passed back in december biden's fellow democrats say supporting the economy is

critical right now but congressional. republicans say not so fast idea that we need a stimulus is a little hard to understand because i'm one of those is convinced that if you want to see this economy get going we've got to get beyond covert if we get beyond covert i believe that the economy is going to come roaring back and spending and borrowing trillions of dollars from the chinese among others is not necessarily the best thing we can do to get our economy to be strong long term. before donald trump left to the white house he lifted a coke at 19 travel ban on not americans coming from europe and brazil but on monday that ban comes back and will extend to those coming from south africa by the end of the week the u.s. reportedly is trying to stop the spread of the so-called south africa variant of code that 19 another variant from the u.k. has already been found in 20 u.s. states and it said the list of countries could get longer if that's what it takes to end the pandemic rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. over impeachment will

a sitting president mounted to the reel in campaign against the result deeming the process fraudulent and contesting it in dozens of courts all in pain the supreme court including 3 off trumps picks simply ignored repeated requests to take up any of the cases and an increasingly frustrated president focused in on preventing the boat being certified in congress and pressing his vice president to abandon his constitutional duty and prevent certification once again in vain let's get back to work in a series of tweets he urged his supporters to come to the capitol to protest it will be wild he promised and when they arrived the article of impeachment alleges that then president incited them to riot now it is up to congress to confront

this egregious assault on our democracy and after this we're going to walk down and i'll be there with you we're going to walk down because you'll never take back to our country with weakness you have to show strength and you have to be strong be seen so it's alleged by a majority in the house was a direct consequence of trump's words and actions in contesting the democratic vote as if it's not enough that he sent an angry mob down the mall to invade the capitol didn't try to stop it and a police officer was killed i don't really know what else you need to know some senate republicans say they've already made up their minds not to impeach the 1st chance i get the vote to end this trial and do it because i think it's really bad for america for others are keeping open minds as the article of impeachment that was sent over by the house suggests impeachable conduct but we have not yet heard

either from the prosecution or from the from the defense. in the last trial then president trump was confident of the outcome is confidence in the decision up or a public and controlled senate was not misplaced only one republican registered a guilty vote along side the democrats but just over a year later the dynamics have changed and democrats have a slim majority in a senate that will act as jury healing and unity will only come if there is truth and accountability and that is what this trial will provide and if a minimum of 17 republicans vote to convict these could be the last pictures of donald trump holding any form of public office mike hanna al-jazeera washington columbia's former rebel group the fox has renamed its political party

and squares of the country's cities ultimately bringing about the end of president hosni mubarak's 30 year rule the the protests began in general the 25th with wholesome social media platforms for people to take to the streets demanding freedom justice and bread. those calls by unarmed civilians were met with a type of police brutality that was synonymous with the mubarak regime consequently the demands and chants shifted to a simple and very clear one. shaab you read a scot in the rom or the people demand the form of the regime. on february the 11th it's felt or solo the faults were boxed up the site and the country's military generals took charge despite attempts by the army to maintain power they were forced to allow the country's 1st ever free and fair parliamentary elections to take place those were then followed by

a vote for the presidency which resulted in the muslim brotherhood parties mohamed morsi becoming egypt's 1st ever democratically elected president. throughout that time social and economic instability became the norm egyptians had begun experiencing political freedom but living conditions remained bad regular anik tricity outages and the never ending fuel shortage crisis led many to direct their opposition to egypt's post revolution president discontents continued to rise and in 2013 supported by the army and police another mass protest took place will be it's far smaller in size and shorter in duration than that of 2011. the protesters said morsi had to go because he failed to deliver on the goals of the revolution his supporters said it was the counter revolution that had been sabotaged the morsi presidency and was now behind the unrest it's led to transpired that most of the crises were in fact manufactured and the violence which rocked egypt's streets had

been encouraged by a deep states that once a quarter versus the gains of the john you 25th revolution. there or move all of morsi by a military coup in 2013 installed on the general abdul fatah has sisi as either an ultimate the president it. since assisi came to power in egypt has become the world's 2nd largest borrower from the i.m.f. in 2014 the country had a foreign debt of $46000000000.00 today that figure is more than 125000000000 poverty levels in egypt have increased just a clique and more than 50 percent of the country's revenue is spent on trying to pay back its foreign debt. and c.c. points to infrastructure projects like the expansion of the suez canal and the construction of a new administrative capital to justify the loans but she's also found money to build several huge new palaces and buy a new presidential plane amongst other things but she's here ok actions that have

enraged the egyptian public the vast majority of which lives on or below the poverty line 10 years on in cairo's tahrir square is a far cry from what it's looked like egypt is not the country those who protested dreamed it would become and for tens of millions of egyptians they have little in the way of freedom justice and broad. al-jazeera. dalia funny is a member of the egyptian rule of laura cessation and an associate professor of political science at long island university she joins us now via skype from new jersey good to have you with us. when we played it a few moments ago but it's worth reading that statement again from. president el-sisi referencing the 25th of january revolution where he said it was led by faithful youth who have looked forward to a better future i say this to egypt's youth your homeland is in need of your

vigorous arms and said see the efforts to proceed in the path of reform construction and development at a huge them to contribute to achieving the aspirations of all egyptians for a bright future that secures for all citizens equal chances of a decent life what do you make of that. i know that it's full of irony it was 10 years ago on the police day that people came into the square people from all walks of life men women islamists secular elites and the poor because of an increased police brutality and that's what brought people to the square and ultimately calling for bread freedom and social justice and it was just you know 2 and a half weeks later that it was going to be the new dawn of a new day that generation that was celebrated as generation protest throughout the world today is regarded by amnesty international last generation jail where between 60 and 80000 political prisoners mainly young people who citizen journalists who

are not just participating but got human thing that was happening today find themselves rotting in prisons or in exile we think about all the young people the singer of the revolution either all the young people that we see symbolize the revolution today are either in prison or are living in exile and so for the president to come out today ironically and to call for them to participate that's what brought them into the square initially but where are we in egypt today she has close the political social and institutional landscape that allows for any form of political participation there are no real avenues for the formation of political parties he has there is complete state control of the media apparatus anyone who has over 5000 twitter followers and tweets outside of state montra can be arrested face military tribunals and has 250000 pound penalty media apparatus that

states anything outside of state montra over a 1000000 pound penalty and so by the closure of radical space media space and today attacking young men and women through social media the one place where they used to be able to feel. really participate the clampdown on the surveillance on social media has created no avenue for participation adelia given all that you've said 10 is on the revolution may well have been small thought 100 for me smothered but as it over well the jury's still out on that if you ask most young people disappeared in the revolution it is not over on the continues 10 years later analysts as myself say well was that a moment that a counter-revolution today can return to looking at the levels of increased repression can people come back to squares and they have been systematically for the past 2 years but they're facing unprecedented persecution and when that happens

counter revolutions unfortunately might return but in much more violent way to contest the violent oppression and so while the revolution may not necessarily be over because the quest for bread freedom and social justice continues the way with which the state has responded both socially politically and especially economically or according to the world bank 70 percent of egyptians are either under poverty or on the brink of poverty lends itself to a possible unfortunate model and then to return. it's been a really good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us starting a family that in brunswick new jersey. time now for sports here's andy thank you so much ajmal former parasang german coach thomas super looks set to become the new chelsea manager the london club is just fide frank lampard former chelsea player part only been in the job for 8 c. months but a recent run of poor form in the league has left that same in mid table the club

spent more than $200000000.00 on new players ahead of this season our on a clear last game in charge was an easy win here i was 2nd to loosen in the f.a. cup england international tommy abraham scoring a hat trick to help chelsea advance. part had also guided his team through to the knockout rounds of the european champions league. where we've been talking to the daily mirror's chief john krause he feels their chelsea's decision is harsh and isn't convinced to call is the right man to take over. i think it's incredibly harsh and remarkably brutal maybe we shouldn't be surprised when chelsea fire a manager but this is still taking my breath away i do think this signs of rugby an ominous in the past month or so results haven't been good so only 2 wins in 8 premier league and that's not good enough as far as chelsea concerned they're desperate to get back into the top 4 but this is the club will legend we're talking

about i think tom has to show comes with a reputation of being a very difficult character and you know he's very combative these very confrontational and i'm yet to be completely convinced that he has done enough in these create a calming of war and everything that goes with too sure and that surprises me i think it's been done from the basis of he's a german manager he's available 'd i think is a very big german influence in that in the dressing room you know quite apart from the. habits you will say got you know and certainly a ruediger. and i think that basically to see some kind of big results from from some of their big german signings so i think it's very clear as to which direction they're going in and i felt franchise the san francisco 49 ers have increased their stake in premier league team leeds united the 49 is now on more than a 3rd of the club that was prior to back into the english top flight this season

need to 12th in the lake that the american back is have their sights set considerably higher you know how to when you want to be competitive you want to show you belong you want to compete for the highest level trophies and championships and for us it's 1st the showing we belong next that's competing in europe and then eventually is competing in champions league that's the goal. a new team but the same story for n.f.l. superstar tom brady the 43 year old will be playing in his 10th super bowl this time with the tampa bay buccaneers off to 2 decades with the new england patriots and now in his 1st season the times have you thought about where the bucks to 31261 of the great aipac is in the n.f.c. championship game they will now take on the rain champions the fans this exchange with super bowl 55 set to be hiding someplace honest i. don't you know it's taken a lot of different people over the course of the season off and defense special teams to come through and you know that's why we're still players will be 2 teams

are playing we're going to be one of them and again just an incredible journey for all of us and just proud to be a part of it. i mean the super bowls the super bowl being able to go up against one of the one of the greatest not the greatest quarterback of all in his 150 a super bowl i mean it's going to be a great experience for me i mean to go up there and get to get a chance to repeat and get to do it against the best i mean it's it's a special one on the side of. well we've been talking to us sports broadcaster michael colson about the latest chapter in bright he's age defying career. i think it's absolutely huge that there aren't many quarterbacks the n.f.l. who have even had successful seasons at that age and to join a new team admittedly a pretty good team that was just lacking in one or 2 things including a quarterback who wouldn't turn the ball over and then them to the super bowl it is an amazing feat and when you look back at brady's time with the patriots and and how many super bowls and how many conference championships games he's been to it's

something that's really unmatched in team sports in the us i think what he had in bill belichick his coach what was a kind of perfect symmetry and he was able to adjust his game to whatever game plan the patriots were using in a given week which often changed dramatically unlike most teams in the n.f.l. and year by year so in some years they were a running team when they had randy moss they were a deep passing team apt to that they were short passing team and brady adjusted brilliantly i don't think there are many quarterbacks who read the game as well as he does which is a huge part of playing the position as much if not more so than having the really strong arm that a lot of quarterbacks do and it took ian bruce ariens his new head coach a little while to adjust to each other but i think what we've seen in the 2nd half of the season and in the playoffs is that brady and areas are pretty much on the same page not choose their own mark the one year anniversary of kobe bryant's death

the basketball legend was killed in a helicopter crash at the age of 41 but as in science once he is playing craig with the l.a. lakers because for the bron james has been soaking about bronze likes him. and it takes time everyone has they own grieving process everyone understands you know everyone individually is different and one is going to you know grieve differently and how long it takes him to come to grips with it s. up to them and an individual is a lot of things are done in his world ledges never done. and he's exactly that so it's all about representing. ok that is why sport is looking phenomenal for me and i'd like to add the many thanks and finally as they say in all the best news programs south korea has a new 15 minute celebrity for the baby panda the giant panda cub was caught on camera clinging to her keeper after a weighing session millions have watched the video of the 6 month old the 1st ever
