deborah and it divided america 3 months on has he managed to follow through on campaign promises to fix the country stay with us for special coverage of biden's 1st $100.00 days in office on al-jazeera. we have to step up president joe biden kicks off his global climate summit with a pledge to cut u.s. emissions inhofe by 2030. joy about an hour says brazil will reach climate neutrality by 2050 despite presiding over soaring deforestation in the amazon and. on your intelligence is al jazeera live from london also coming up patients turned away and overwhelmed as india sets

a new global record for daily covert cases. russia orders its troops to withdraw from near the border with ukraine but leave their heavy weapons behind last. may that harris fire all that was worth a $1000000.00 when you watch the you little. tears and tributes at the funeral for 20 year old daunted right 11 days after he was shot dead during a routine traffic stop. the u.s. president joe biden is trying to make good on his pledge to be a global leader on climate posting a major summit on earth day and starting it with a big pledge he says the u.s. will now aim to cut emissions by 50 to 52 percent of 2005 levels by the end of this decade that's nearly double the previous target it tops off a week of similar bold promises the u.k. aiming for a 78 percent cut the e.u.

by $55.00 and canada by 40 to 45 percent all off $990.00 s. emissions to put it in perspective the us cart is around 41 to 44 percent from 990 it means more than half the world's economies and are committing to the target set by the paris accord to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century but that's still going to be a challenge we are already at $1.00 degrees celsius when president biden opened the summit vowing not to sit and wait to address climate change and he called on the world's economic powerhouses to fight the crisis. you know these steps will set america on a path of not 0 emissions or kaname by no greater than 2050 but the truth is america represents less than 50 percent of the world's aggressions no nation can solve this crisis on our own as i know you all fully understand all of us all of us

and particularly those of us who represent the world's largest economies we have to step up china is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in his speech this summit president xi jinping vowed to phase down coal consumption by 2030 china has committed to move from carbon peak to carbon neutrality in a much shorter time span than what might take many developed countries and that requires extraordinary hard efforts from china support is being given to encourage peaking pioneers from localities sectors in companies we will strictly controlled coal fired power generation projects we both strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 145 year plan period and phase it down in the 15th 5 year plan period climate activists gratitude says the promises made by world leaders at the day summit are misleading and unrealistic she posted a video shortly before the summit began and

a warning it contains flashing images. when you compare our insufficient targets with the overall current best available science you clearly see that there's a gap there are decades missing. of course we've all come to safeguard present and future liver conditions and these targets could be a great start if it wasn't for the fact that they are full of gaps and loopholes like emissions from consumption of imported goods as well as international aviation shipping and the burning of biomass and ignoring. the frequency and historic emissions. targets trying. to get us to car chase. down to the nearest white house correspondent can really help it and can be president biden has said it's time for action what policies is he putting in place to meet the new target. well that's a little bit of

a devil in the details if you will because well the u.s. president has proposed a $2.00 trillion dollar infrastructure plan where many of the sort of green economy agenda items have been proposed there's not the assurance that this will clear the u.s. senate and so that has left a big question mark many year not just in the united states but around the world wondering if some of these targets identified by the u.s. president are even feasible now the white house insists that there are multiple pathways if the congressional and legislative pathway is not successful but at the same time it has really been kind of sketchy on those details even as it the u.s. president made this broad pronouncement of the sort of updated target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions really scant from that announcement was the backup plan if his legislative agenda does not achieve what he hopes it will accomplish and given

how ready are ordinary americans to make the changes that might be needed. you know that is a really important point because most surveys suggest that most americans or majority of americans are on board in theory with addressing global climate change issues but when you actually start asking them directly if they're willing to give up their cars and take public transit are they willing to cut down on their amazon purchases that allow them to get imported goods cheaply and quickly that's when even young people that tend to be on the forefront of advocating for climate action tend to kind of balk at some of those changes and so this is the real challenge and you have to add to that remember that this is a divided nation while majority a narrow majority of americans support joe biden and his policies a large chunk millions and millions of americans do not and much like donald trump

joe biden's predecessor have skepticism about whether the science behind climate change is even legitimate and so that is the other obstacle in joe biden is facing given the fact that there are millions of americans out of work because of the pandemic many believe that even if it is a priority that the american public in the economy can't afford to make these bold changes right now when so many millions of americans are trying to figure out how to put food on the table so there are a number of obstacles for joe biden he's identified he wants to be a global leader but at the same time much of his challenge is not outside of the united states but domestic committee how could thank you very much indeed brazil's president says his country will reach its goals on climate neutrality earlier than expected he says that will be helped by the ending of illegal deforestation. i have determined that our climate neutrality in brazil be achieved by 2050 therefore

bringing forward by terrier's the previously announced commitment levels among the measures that are required to bear and i highlight here our commitment to eliminate illegal deforestation in brazil by 2030. with full and prompt enforcement of the brazilian forest code with back we will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by the really 50 percent by that date the impact of that deforestation has been immense last month brazil destroyed more than 800 square kilometers of the amazon rain forest that's twice as much as in march last year the government is asking for a $1000000000.00 in aid to fight deforestation but one man is already making a difference by planting a mangrove forest on a day and a half has more from rio de janeiro. it has been along in

lonely walk for the past 22 years biologist my dumas cathay lee has been patrolling the shores of rio de janeiro's polluted one about a bay clearing layers of trash trapped in the mud then planting millions of mangrove seeds one by 15 year old zhu has been working with him from the start. when really arrived here this was a dump we've been planted an average of 40000 seeds every week now we have an entire forest. most cut bailey and his team have recovered 1300000 square kilometers of mangrove forest the equivalent to 130 football stadiums the size of rio's maracana now he's working on filling another patch of dirty black mud the same size with this powerful green vegetation he hopes the mangroves will help diminish the effects of deforestation in the amazon in march more than 800 square

kilometers of the rain forest were destroyed more than double the amount in the same month last year yelling mang growth of 4 dimes a capacitor absorbing carbon dioxide the amazon rain forest and of the seas continue to advice with global warming they will be our last line of defense but mangroves protecting brazil's coast from north to south are in danger not from fire but from rampant urban development and the lack of basic sanitation it's a problem faced by poor and rich neighborhoods alike as we could see on a boat ride behind this exclusive condo in baja that usual. we're surrounded by nature and one of rio's richest neighborhoods but this group transparent water here is dangerous it's full of bacteria from untreated sewage which can cause liver cancer. its fishing season here all year round and not the kind that

attracts tourists. a black river carrying trash from the sprawling city slums flows into the lake where so far is floating. 5 years ago rio de janeiro promised to clean it sacked for the olympic games but not much was done don't you focus but there's more than enough money to take out a ban violent what brazil lacks is the political will for a long term plan that would benefit nature as well as economy but it must last at least 20 years and cannot be changed every time a new government if elected. it took 2 decades to grow a mangrove forest almost all on his own he still hopes the results will convince others to follow his crusade monika an i.q. of al-jazeera rio de janeiro.

and thanks its international partners despite a tweet like that from the ukrainian leader who we've seen in recent weeks appealing to the international community and nato members for support in the face of what he describes as a russian provocation there is still great distrust in this country. you know you speak to people on the ground close to the contact blind certainly on this side of the contact line where we've been for the last few days and you witnessed some of the shelling as well we saw the shelling in the town about. 3 or 4 days ago i meet this escalation and people are very distrustful of anything that russia says and bear in mind that there is still no lasting political settlement that has been agreed upon and we are now entering the 8th year of this conflict ukraine's government has started the lengthy application process for chernobyl to be considered a world heritage site this monday marks the 35th anniversary of the $986.00 nuclear

but. oh. my my old that was worth a $1000000.00 when you walk in the room you would. rather kill their. own man. john hendren is that live in minneapolis and tell us what they've been saying or what else has been said during. well 20 writes mother shortly after that sound you just played broke down so badly that she couldn't complete her remarks as the family's lawyer benjamin crump says she's a member of a fraternity that no one wants to belong to and that is black men who have been killed at the hands of white police officer the reverend al sharpton spoke there we

had remarks as well from the family lawyer benjamin crump who. spoke about the man who was lost during that incident dante wright was killed when a white police officer shot him she says she thought she was firing a taser but fired her gun instead she quit her job the day after that and now faces a manslaughter charge but as the family says that will not bring dante right back the man who gave the eulogy was the civil rights leader al sharpton this is a little of what he had to say. we struggled through all of that but we are going to now in here is the name and the name of dante we've going to pass the george throwing justice in policing and as federal mom we are going to make it against the law all over this country to keep bringing us to a few rules why our young prince. and john this happened during the shaving trial

how did the shaving tron effect this incident. well one thing it did was bring all live these dignitaries together at this time when the trial was happening in the middle of the trial that is when dante wright was killed so everyone here about 15 kilometers away was already. gathered when another black man was killed at the hands of a white police officer so it really highlights that continuing trend so you've got an incident after that in columbus ohio as well and essentially what we're hearing is people here just wrapping all these incidents together and saying something needs to be done and one of the things that reverend al sharpton was talking about you heard him mention the george floyd justice in policing act among other things that would stop racial profiling or it would ban racial profiling and

it would ban show coach you may recall it was in need of a police officer jared show that was on george floyd's neck when he died and so they're using bad to link that event with a practice that many civil rights leaders would like to see banned across the country 100 thank you very much indeed. the head of indonesia's navy says a missing submarine with 53 sailors on board will run out of oxygen by saturday a k r i n. 2 lost contact during a military exercise on wednesday a search and rescue operation is underway where has been spotted off the coast of from washington reports. in indonesia this rescue operation grows more urgent as the hours pass 53 people were on board the carolina 4 o 2 when it went missing somewhere in the waters near the island of bali the
