1:02 pm
a white house summit in the coming hours bringing together leaders from 40 nations so we begin this news hour with reports from the world's 2 superpowers the us which is trying to reclaim a place at the center of the climate debate and china which calls itself a leader in this fight but also continues to build new coal plants 1st nick clark explains just how much is at stake this virtual summit is the us administration saying we're back in the fight after 4 years of donald trump ignoring the climate crisis for the world leaders have been invited including those nations responsible for 80 percent of global emissions and as you can see the top of that list is china and then the united states itself the 2 world's biggest polluters and together they account for nearly half of the world's emissions and that's why i joe biden special envoy for climate change john kerry was recently in china seeking an apparently getting a commitment to cooperate from chinese leaders but he knows much more is required
1:03 pm
at a moment ago no one nation no one nation. can can make the difference here if if trying to went to 0 tomorrow we still have a problem and most of the other nations are also reducing but the point of the paris agreement was everybody accepted the goal so the summits aim is to delve in eyes nations much greater ambition ahead of a crucial un climate conference in glasgow in november to limit warming to one and a half degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels remember right now we're already at 1.2 degrees celsius and the effects of even that have been catastrophic from ice melt to wildfires to droughts and floods to local swarms and super storms costing billions displacing millions up until this week national commitments to cut c o 2 have pointed to a reduction in global emissions of just one percent by 2030 the experts say we need a reduction of at least 40 percent by that time the world is banking once again on
1:04 pm
u.s. leadership so let's talk corresponding katrina here she joins me now live from beijing an opportunity really thought china to explain how it intends to reduce its carbon footprint. it is an opportunity but for china participating in this climate summit isn't really about explaining any details about how it intends to move forward in achieve its climate goals really this is about the optics for china beijing wants to show that it takes climate seriously that it's willing to set aside its differences with other countries to pursue its targets and most importantly china wants to show that it's a leader when it comes to fighting climate change that it's not just following along behind the u.s. that it's equal to the u.s. and to that effect we actually saw president xi jinping hold a summit with the leaders of france and germany late last week with the manual mccraw and with angela merkel where they discussed china's climate targets we also
1:05 pm
saw the u.s. climate and boy john kerry in shanghai last week where he met with his chinese counterpart shared jen who are now from both of those meetings china reiterated its true sting ature climate pledges that one it would achieve carbon peak emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 but the key thing is from both of those meetings who did not hear any details about how it intends to do this now it is true that china has made some leaps when it comes to moving towards renewable energy but no any including the u.s. as we're about to hear believe that is simply not enough. toxic smoke leaking from power plants and factories is a common sight in chancy the northwest importance has for decades powered china's economic growth primarily by coal. it's contributed to the nation becoming the world's top lucia responsible for roughly one 3rd of global carbon emissions. the coal industry employs most of the people who live here. pollution has been
1:06 pm
polluting for decades if they shut down all the factories what are we going to do everyone who works for the factories. last year this region produced about 1100000000 tons of coal china's reliance on burning coal as its main source of energy is its biggest obstacle to lowering carbon emissions the government is struggling to find ways to curb coal without affecting jobs or harming economic growth pollution caused by burning fossil fuels regularly shrouds the capital and heavy smoke has pledged to carbon emissions by 2030 and eliminate them altogether by 2060 but it's yet to detail how exactly it plans to achieve this is not only about commitment is all about what we actually do right in the next 5 years we expect china can include more concrete policies and to give us a more clear roadmap of how they can achieve these 2 carbon targets increasing the
1:07 pm
use of renewable energy sources is crucial china is already the world's largest producer of wind and solar power it's also the biggest market for electric vehicles the government has tightened regulations to pressure can make it into transitioning away from gas but many say that's not enough us climate and boy john kerry was in shanghai last week trying to convince authorities to do more. for a big country with 1400000000 people. not easily believe it some countries are asking china to do more on climate change the free this is not very realistic researchers say china must close down more than 500 coal fired power plants in the next decade to meet its climate pledges that it continues to approve new ones at a faster rate than anywhere else in the world the government is planning to close down some old. factories here and build what it says greener more efficient whole
1:08 pm
facilities for some parts of china at least it seems the route to clean energy will be long and small. but of course circuitry it really is a balancing act that even your reports not even some officials. find it so very hard to know how it's all going to be achieved that's right so most of the environmentalists and researchers that we spoke to say that they do believe that beijing is sincere in wanting to achieve its climate targets but at the top level the government faces a lot of headwinds from smaller levels of government local government and provincial governments because they simply are relying on this coal industry and they have done for decades the other problem is that china's energy infrastructure is very old and rigid so even though china does have a lot of investment and capacity when it comes to renewable energy it's not
1:09 pm
necessarily making the most of that capacity at the moment so what may morris believe needs to be done is that aging needs to impose policies from the very top and enforce those policies perhaps with penalties or other other ways to force this transition to happen and we're expecting those to be now be announced if not during this climate summit then at least before the end of the year because really in beijing thanks very much for that update. well but even as the u.s. tries to reclaim center stage in the global climate debate its own domestic issues make that difficult for president biden or any other politician to accomplish all white house correspondent complete health kit and if he remains a controversial subject in america. it's not uncommon to find oil and gas companies operating right in the middle of communities. this site in inglewood california is pumping for oil using a controversial process called fracking that environmentalist like one flora's want
1:10 pm
banned by new fracking has become an. idle people. because they know that their lives their livelihood it's fracking is a process of drilling that uses high pressure water to force oil and gas out of rock deep in the earth environmentalist say the process pollutes water and releases methink gas into the atmosphere contributing to climate change but banning the practice has divided president joe biden's democratic party let me be clear and i know it always comes up we're not going to ban fracking but others in the party like congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez and senator bernie sanders are pushing for a federal ban we don't need america but republicans are in favor of fracking some members of biden's own democratic party including senator joe manchin representing
1:11 pm
the energy producing state of west virginia also support fracking. and even in liberal leaning states like california where a fracking ban have the support of the governor legislation has so far failed due to lobbying by the oil and gas industry. jobs without a doubt ruining small towns across america boil gas and chemical companies spent more than $100000000.00 lobbying last year including on political ads like this one that aired during the 2020 presidential election campaign to push back on efforts to ban fracking in this last point is that activists are angry and say biden's efforts on fracking are simply a half measure he suspended new oil and gas drilling on federal lands but that accounts for less than a quarter of total u.s. oil production biden claims he never promised an end to fracking but activists like one florist say that's exactly why he worked to get biden elected.
1:12 pm
in the she. was one of the promises he's got in we were holding accountable. president biden is expected to make big promises during his climate summit but already some activists say it won't be enough can really help get out jazeera washington. low lying bangladesh is one of the countries most at risk from climate change rising sea levels could force millions of people from their homes and once the hardest hit places is paul island the largest in the country often called the ground 0 of global warming it's also home to some of the world's 1st climate refugees. explains in the middle of one of the world's largest belters an island is gradually disappearing and where a beggar may widow whose family were once wealthy farmers over the years she has witnessed how nature can take everything away.
1:13 pm
i used to live in an area called chic darbari where we used to own a lot of farmland and dozens of homes but over the years everything got gradually washed away by the sea there's no trace of it anymore all gone and that eventually forced me to move and stay here with my grandson the bangladesh government estimates that nearly 6000000 people are displaced each year due to a very russians most of the people living here in slums like this here in dhaka i watch you could call now climate change migrants that moved here because many of them have lost their homes and farmlands to cost and rising sea levels according to the un's children foreign units have 2001000 report climate link environmental disaster are threatening the lives and future of more than 1000000000 children in bangladesh where i began with just a teenager when she moved to dhaka from burleigh to find work not even the bangor day get everything we had out there was destroyed by river erosion and rising water
1:14 pm
levels it's very hard to make a living there anymore or find a place to stay. the increase in water salinity due to rising sea level is not only damaging farmlands but harming mangrove forests everything is finished because of salt water we used to have great harvesting before but nowadays due to high salinity content in the land crops are getting damaged not growing well even cows don't graze here anymore take a look at these plants some environmental experts are optimistic about u.s. president joe biden's new climate policy i don't have. replacing attitude on climate change in usa before that there was almost an ounce of a life of them in the usa oh yes that would blow from that planet convention which rather did after and huge amount of accumulated you know it got at the think tank that commitment $400000000000.00 a year that is expected expected by the developing countries must be phased in
1:15 pm
a recent media interview prime minister sheikh hasina say that bangladesh loses 2 percent off its g.d.p. to extreme climate events every year and spends 2.5 percent of his g.d.p. on climate adaptations bond with us contributes merely 0.35 percent of global carbon emissions yet it is people like anwar a beggar who are paying the price for global warming for them climate diplomacy means very little time to charge 3 al-jazeera bangladesh. well plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including the crackdown on press freedom in hong kong following the conviction of an investigative journalist also the u.s. justice department launches an investigation into policing in minneapolis after former officers to big did of murdering george floor we'd. all find which team has become the 1st to make it through to the national hockey league playoffs.
1:16 pm
well india is reporting a global record of more than 3 114000 new creative virus cases and more than 2000 deaths is the highest daily case count in a single country since the virus surfaced more than a year ago now several states are struggling with severe shortages of oxygen the delhi high court has strongly criticised the government's response to the shortage saying and we're quoting beg borrow or steal it's a national emergency the health ministry says it's increased oxygen quotas for the worst hit regions. we have at least $350.00 and all of them probably all of them require oxygen oxygen varying from finally does to 15 leaders do even more so there is a kind of demand that is there at the moment and because of which the supplies that are coming in which are very irregular. and certain there is
1:17 pm
a lot of an engine in the system we are not able to fully focus our energies on. on the clinical board effort and we are sadly distracted but not stately nor majorly distracted by the. chain problems one of those is maharastra wealth ortiz have now added further restrictions to its partial lockdown the prime minister states to avoid total lockdowns despite soaring cases and in the face of sharp criticism politicians continue to hold campaign rallies in west bengal's ongoing elections polling is also underway well elizabeth problem is in the capital she describes the crisis hospitals are facing. outside one of delhi's biggest public hospitals they have a capacity of 1500 beds for close 1000 patients they are completely full we are seeing patients arriving dusting for the destroyed family members trying to get the message we're seeing other patients arriving already on oxygen supply using oxygen
1:18 pm
cylinders and lying in their cars health minister has said has described this as a grave crisis with many of the capital's hospitals only having a few hours of oxygen supply left with so many thousands of patients on ventilators that's why one of india's biggest private hospitals took the matter to the delhi high court which directed the central government to urgently send oxygen to delhi it also said that the lives of thousands of people were at stake and said to the government that it was going to be responsible for the lives of these people if it didn't wake up to this situation now we also have a similar situation it's not as bad but people are dying elsewhere in the country because they can't get to hospital beds or to ventilators it's why the government is now importing 50000 metric tons of oxygen to send to 12 of the states that are the worst affected. indonesia's navy chief is warning that the oxygen supply
1:19 pm
a missing submarine will run out by saturday 53 crew members on board the k. 4 o 2 went missing during a military exercise a wednesday and there's been no contact since an oil spill has been spotted and a sound was detected around the time the vessel disappeared let's get the very latest now from jessica washington who's monitoring events for us from jakarta jessica it all really hinges on how deep the sub is where it is and how damaged it is a questions as to whether they can actually find it. well that's exactly right so hell more than 30 hours since authorities lost contact with the care on the 402 there are still a number of unanswered questions and namely the ones you mentioned where the vessel is located and in what condition now authorities are still looking to the areas to the north coast of bali it's believed the vessel was around 96 kilometers from the
1:20 pm
coast of bali when it went missing authorities say that they are still looking at that specific area and in that area they did see what appears to be an oil slick they saw that just hours after the vessel went missing yesterday and this still looking into whether that oil slick has anything to do with the submarine and if it does does that indicate that there was some sort of fuel leak or is there potential that the crew may have deliberately released some of the fuel experts say that the latter option is more unlikely than the 1st but there are questions about the condition of this vessel and how possible it is to find its location this particular vessel was built in the seventy's in germany and has been in operation in indonesia since 981 but authorities say it recently underwent regular maintenance and refurbishment in south korea and is in good condition just a regional neighbors are coming to indonesia's who is coming to the aid and what
1:21 pm
are they offering. well a number of countries have offered assistance india the united states france and germany but most crucially indonesia's nearest neighbors that is who the government tried to reach out to in the immediate aftermath of realizing that this vessel had gone missing a stray singapore and malaysia all of those countries have much more sophisticated maritime technology than into nisha which only has a fleet of 5 submarines a strangely as foreign minister earlier confirmed that the government has spoken with the indian asian defense minister and they have offered whatever assistance is necessary malaysia has also dispatched a rescue ship and singapore as well has sent a submarine rescue vessel indonesia doesn't have a vessel such as these so these particular offerings from the indonesia's neighbors are crucial at this stage however it's likely that the ship from singapore will
1:22 pm
only arrive in 2 days and the vessel from malaysia could take as long as 4 days now time is crucial in a rescue operation such as this as you mentioned oxygen supplies could run out by saturday we do know that further vessels from indonesian police search and rescue officials and the navy are on route to the location including vessels with sophisticated sonar equipment scanning technology some of these vessels were used recently in january to search the java sea when there was a passenger plane crash and some of those vessels will be used in this operation hopefully authorities will have some answers soon just a washington jakarta thanks very much. but stay in the region because a hong kong investigative journalist has been convicted and finds the charges linked to a documentary exposing police misconduct during the 2019 protests speaking outside choice described the ruling as heartbreaking and called it

1:26 pm
undertake this task with the term a nation an urgency. knowing that change can wait on capitol hill a bill named after george floyd would ban racial profiling in police chokeholds we must remain diligent in our efforts to bring meaningful change to police departments across the country the reform practices in training and the legal protections that grant too great a shield to police officers guilty of misconduct here were floyd spent his last moments of life many said the verdict against former minneapolis police officer derrick children is a start the people we've talked to here at the site of george floyd's murder say this movement isn't over with the conviction of derek chauvin or the other officers involved they say it will when they no longer have to say that black lives matter for the floyd family knowing the children won't get away with using his badge to justify murder brings a long awaited release i feel better feel relieved actually went to sleep for like

it was a shock to the residents of stockholm this morning a draw for temperature about 12 degrees colder air across scandinavia has reintroduced winter now it's not entirely confined to scandinavia but this is the direction the wind round those lines there so it's quite a strong winds through denmark into germany and poland then it kills runs the real cost of this probably could be kept in the baltic the baltic states and it will warm up slowly in stockholm for the rest of europe the sun's out over a good part of of a sudden journey at least france and beyond disappointingly wet through spain in fact through the central med as a line of the system rain even thunderstorms and that is the front of the cultish air going slowly into eastern europe so this book the specific forecast

a stocker 2 degrees for thursday yes it snowed a bit it would stick on the ground i don't think but up to 8 degrees is to well below average for the next couple of days and here's the picture for friday for most of europe where that cold is gone east was relying a bit more walk back into the low countries bit more sunshine into eastern side of spain which is going be so disappointing recently. we are dry for the most part in north africa court windy and even dusty libya and sudden tunisia. but. to see. a family man. politicized by the forces of nature. filmed over 4 years. a kenyan farm and documents his struggle for his community survival and builds a template for global action on climate change. to see the climate dial

the market watchers of his are with me so whole romney a reminder of our top stories here on the news it's earth day and the u.s. is returning to center stage in the fight against climate change president joe biden is due to begin hosting a virtual summit of world leaders aimed at speeding up global efforts also india has reported the world's largest daily increase in corona virus infection since the start of the pandemic more than 314000 new cases were about just that many hospitals of war dangerously low on oxygen and indonesia's navy chief is warning that offseason supplies on a missing submarine will run out by saturday 53 crew members on board went missing during a military exercise on wednesday an oil spill has been spotted in the area. the great green wall initiative aims to plant trees from west to east africa to slow the expansion of the sahara desert the world bank the european union and countries
1:33 pm
including france with higher carbon footprints of pledged 14000000000 dollars to make that happen but communities affected by the desert say the project is failing nicholas hack reports from bob deep in senegal's so help the region. no rains for months because once lush vegetable garden has turned to dust gone are the navy beans to feed her family had biscuits she uses it to cook and to make juice for her children she says it's as if the land has given up on her but she has not given up on the land. in this land you could grow not just to biscuits but carrots potatoes onion cauliflower if only we had water. water in this our hell is as precious as gold. in jar we travel west for hours on a rumor that there is a functioning well in what some here describe as
1:34 pm
a godforsaken land during the rainy season it's another story the land springs to life the state pays others to plant trees as part of the great green wall project an initiative to stop desert if occasion from east to west africa france the world bank and the e.u. have pledged $14000000000.00 to the project. it's hoped the completed wall would be a new wonder of the world over taking the great barrier reef to be the largest living structure on earth look at the great green wall now because of rising temperatures and the lack of rainfall most of the trees planted are either dying or already dead and while polluting countries have recently pledged billions of dollars more in funds for those projects people here say they're throwing money into the desert they say they don't need more trees but more access to water. these fall on the herders are moving further south away from arid climates
1:35 pm
encroaching on farmland. we will never stop hurting why should we abandon our ways it is so difficult to grow food that might kill has value if something goes wrong we can sell them even if the climate is changing i am not ready to change my ways in this conflict over land the state is largely absent armed groups in this a hell including al qaeda and the mixtape are exploiting grievances taking sites at stake is access to land for animals to graze and water and increasingly rare and precious resource that our and others desperately need nicholas hawk al-jazeera and back to about now it was bill daley a century ago as one of the most innovative mega projects of its time the 32 kilometer inclosure dam in the netherlands has served to protect the nation from the sea but now rising water levels and increasing storms are forcing the
1:36 pm
government to enhance the structure some reports from a slow dike in the netherlands. they are carefully designed to keep out a rising sea 170000 concrete blocks will strengthen the slide day and protect the netherlands against storms and high waves made with recycled material from the old dike every single one of the 6500 kilogram blocks contains an electronic chip you know where you have a super super super storm and that is somewhere some issue with all of these boxes so it's a little bit cold doll nor cracked or something then we can. find out which broke or to take it out. when construction began in the 1920 smen he did not believe the dutch could close off an entire sea and build a 32 kilometer long dike thousands of people worked on the project one stone at a time it was a gigantic project nearly a century ago and it's
1:37 pm
a maggot project once again will take 7 years before the us like that will be strong enough again but at this predicted the only protect the dutch heartland against the sea until 2050 after that more reinforcements are likely needed people who are protesting against the construction of the diet in the early 1900 could not have guessed how crucial it would be in the future. fishing community surrounding the southern sea lost their source of income when it turned into a sweet water lake behind a dike part of the sea bottom or reclaimed and islands disappeared usually from the bear's grandfather was among those protesting against the project. marls all the minds of all these people who have looked into the future and see how much welfare it has brought and how it has taken our country forward they've not have protested claiming land has been a huge victory for the netherlands. from
1:38 pm
a country importing food the netherlands turned into an exporter well we are now at the bottom of the sorry to say so they made a huge boulder and at the end it is the biggest ball of the world historians say countries are that going to a changing climate can learn important lessons from the dutch experience after building the our flight day so this fishery communities had a very strong sense of community and that made them very resilient against before this big change so if you have a community that has a very strong sense to togetherness they are more resilient and resilience will be needed because in 30 years this barrier might not be high enough once again what can you do if if you need a strong and i hired you call us again. when the dutch built a dyke they wanted to prove that in order to obtain land you don't need to go to war not realising that a different battle against rising sea levels was just around the corner step fasten
1:39 pm
al-jazeera on the day 7 georges a senior lecturer at kiel university she joins me now from kill in staffordshire in the u.k. via skype thanks for joining us on al-jazeera in recent weeks many countries have really made huge claims to what they intend to do words of fine but we've heard this before how important is it to see action when we have countries like the united kingdom saying they're going to promise a 68 percent cut in emissions the european union pledging 55 percent and we're expecting president biden to talk about 0 emission in usa as early as 2050. yes this is the concern that we have around the world as well just in the reports climate change is happening now people are being affected now and every molecule of c o 2 that we put into the atmosphere has had an effect stays there for decades
1:40 pm
so we need quick action so these targets in the future so it's been reassuring to see that some of the targets are not only are they have a date set for all it but that's no good if there's no action behind it and increasingly seem targets the mess so what we want to see is more action we see promise is round is indeed forestation incredibly important to see and to the world we want to see targets these these targets be met but to meet these targets also requires a wobble investment and it's not a lack of will and people want to know how to meet these targets but the people who have the ability to businesses. clean up their processes need help if it came to that then. jump in there because one wonders
1:41 pm
really that we every climate change conference we have we hear the same sort of lines both from politicians and from green activists so one wonders what's been done in the past has any or have any actions before reduce global temperatures to be used as an example in 2021 and in glasgow later in the the when the world's leaders got together to say hey look we did this a few years back and we can do it we just need that incentive and we need that that push for politicians of the public to understand they can actually happened. well we have seen a massive surge in new energy in same schemes like in the u.k. we had a very successful skin room so energy where the. entire race where you have your so can a holes and produce a. subsidy and you know that those schemes will accelerate the takeoff also established those manufacturing. manufacturing scales that we need to bring
1:42 pm
the prices down but what we need again so there's things like the rest will cost also technology waiting to be lower and hydrogen and a clean technology very very expensive to callie so there's companies that could benefit from that and set to slike and ceramics manufacture steel manufacture but really critical critical very heavily dependent on either on energy and the high end metes and quite critical to some modern structure they could adopt some of these new technologies that would help the competition is high margins profit already tight so the government needs to how to accelerate this slide back in some of this development to meet a green revolution now ok it is often said that if greenhouse emissions were
1:43 pm
stopped today right now that she would help the planet because the planet would continue to warm up what is that the time for. obvious parameters of greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced. yeah i think this is one of one of the things that i think. people don't realize. that once it's in the atmosphere it doesn't just dissipate it sticks around so that fact that greenhouse effect that the only house gases like that have and will carry on long after we made those those emissions so c o 2 that's causing the greenhouse effect and that may have been met it is a longer 100 years so while we are could you since you know 2 things that isn't just stacking up in the atmosphere so the quicker we commute juice. and nations then the last time those those gases then stick around so even
1:44 pm
