so they do not cross into arjen time territory from this film are gentile forwards can money for what's happening in its economic it's still set selwyn's but what authorities here are saying is that what's important is to regulate what's happening in international waters. you're president of the world for 200 missions by 50 percent in 9 years change activities does not interest. you will still get away with continuing to contribute struction presence and future living conditions. i mean this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. the violence flows

between palestinians and israelis in occupied east jerusalem during the month of ramadan. stretched to breaking point hospitals under pressure as argentina confronts what's being called its worst moment of the coronavirus pandemic. and we beat south korea's multipurpose room that's healthy for you because. we can detect if you're wearing your mosque properly or not and we'll tell you to put it straight. so you could be the world's moment of peril of opportunity the dramatic declaration from joe biden as he pledges the u.s. will be a global leader on climate change the president's kicked off a virtual summit on earth day by committing to an ambitious reduction in carbon emissions critics are dismissing his plans as costly and ineffective white house

cross one can really help it begins our coverage. a virtual global summit convened by u.s. president joe biden and invitation to world leaders to combat climate change collectively the signs are a mistake of the science is undeniable and the cost of an action is keeps mounting united states is awaiting where resolving to take action. biden announced the u.s. would cut fossil fuel emissions by up to 52 percent by 2030 the earth day pledge renews america's commitment following 4 years of inaction by predecessor donald trump it more than doubles america's target under the 2015 paris climate agreement that trump withdrew from and that biden rejoined when he took office. 40 world leaders participated including american adversaries russia and china china

is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases president xi jinping pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by $26.00 to adding this jab at the united states china has committed to move from carbon peak to carbon neutrality in a much shorter time span than what might take many countries just weeks after the u.s. and russia leveled sanctions against one another escalating tensions russian leader vladimir putin said he takes international commitments seriously like hero and paris hinting the united states does not russia has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions to greater extent than many other countries but biden faces domestic challenges implementing his green economy or oil gas and chemical companies spent more than 100000000 dollars last year lobbying u.s. lawmakers to keep fossil fuel vehicles on the road speaking virtually before

a congressional panel swedish climate activists gratitude and berg to hold lawmakers accountable if they don't change i don't believe for a 2nd that you will actually do this because i mean crisis doesn't exist in the public debate today and since it doesn't really exist and the general level of awareness is so absurdly low you will still get away with continuing to contribute to the destruction of presence and future living conditions. president biden's announcement of a new u.s. goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is ambitious but what it lacked are specifics including a legislative plan a budget or any kind of proposal for meeting biden's new climate target kimberly help at al-jazeera the white house well i'm sure a blazer is director of international climate policy campaign at the sierra club

and she says good to see you ms ambitious they are necessary and achievable there's all kinds of legislation that's been proposed that would help to implement this like build back better and the green new deal and other other packages of legislation that are meant to sort of this up and remember biden has asked for. an economy wide. a governmental wide climate push so every every sector of the government also has to come up with their plans for how they were in this so the implementation is coming in and in fact it's already been revealed all of the new models that we have and the new analysis that we have this sector by sector analysis that's referred to by has been for him to in this plan i think it's absolutely achievable and fact 50 percent according to our analysis is the most that is achievable you have to have people

continue to push because even this 50 percent is not all that's needed is not is not what is needed to keep us from warming past the 1.5 degrees. that we would need to do to keep the worst of the climate crisis from happening so yeah we need to keep pushing we need voices that continue to hold lawmakers feet to the fire and make sure that we're actually doing all the. israeli forces of the stopped jewish and arab activists from confronting a group of palestinians in occupied east jerusalem a stun grenades and water cannon were used to keep groups of politics one of the late entry to the old city. very false reports now from outside damascus and. this is being a night of considered racial tension here in occupied east jerusalem you can hear those stun grenades still going off in the background even now some time after this all began what we have is

a group of jewish youths largely on one side of the roundabout behind as close to damascus gate an occupied east jerusalem they have marched to this area some of them chanting death to arabs organized we understand by an anti arab group called. and they are here to confront what has been pretty much a nightly occurrence since the beginning of ramadan just over a week ago of clashes relatively minor ones between palestinian groups and israeli security forces what they say has spurred the decision to come here this jewish group is that they have seen videos posted on social media of young palestinian men attacking jewish people filming it putting it on social media and since those videos have been posted we have seen sporadic. more more standardized now going over on the palestinian side of this protest people scattering once again and so this is where most of the. clashes between in the skirmishes between

palestinians and the security forces have been going on in the sort of amphitheater area just down there with the smoke is in front of the damascus gate as i say that's been going on to one level or another for some days now the difference with this night is that they have been confronted here by jewish anti arab groups and the security forces have been trying to separate them with some mixed success with there have been injuries that have been these ongoing clashes throughout the evening. argentina's health minister says the country is facing his worst moments of the pandemic its health care system is buckling as the death toll policies $60000.00 restrictions have been reimposed that's putting strain on an economy already in crisis there is a bear reports now from one serves. it's become an all too common

scene on the streets of when a site is. health care workers demanding better wages in the middle of the 2nd wave of the pandemic. says everyone's exhausted. we really can't take any more in the 2nd wave of infections nurses are at the front when it comes to the pressure of being part of the public health system in this pandemic without sufficient salaries and without recognition today nurses paid below the level of the basic food basket it's an outrage. infections are on the rise once again in argentina and deaths from the virus neared $60000.00 on wednesday and there is an average of around $28000.00 new infections every day the p one a man hours variant is already circulating in many jurisdictions in the country. health minister catalepsy saw the says this is the worst moment of the covert pandemic for argentina the game is you will have

a name yet this bill. this is the riskiest time since the beginning of the pandemic because even though we have a stronger health system even though we have health workers who are there we also have an increase in the number of cases which threaten to overwhelm the health sector and we have concerning strains circulating which raise the risk of infection and day. last week argentina reimpose restrictions to prevent the spread of disease there's a curfew in place from 8 o'clock in the evening and a suspension of school classes in many areas in the province of one assayas last year the government imposed one of the strictest lockdowns in the world and because of it experts say the country prevented its health care system from collapsing the situation is different this year the government is trying to prevent the economic consequences caused by a total lockdown and that's why this time experts are concerned that the health care system could be compromised you know. it is difficult to know whether the

measures are enough or decisions are difficult if we don't shut down everything we'll have to extend the restrictions again and then again like last year it would have been better to do a strict lockdown this is what we will have to do until we have enough vaccines. like most developing nations argentina struggling to access vaccines to inoculate the population. so far around 6000000 doses have been applied in a country of 48000000 among them russia sputnik v. and china sign a farm. much more are needed to prepare their population for the difficult months ahead. that is how will. this. the u.s. has recalled a drop in daily vaccinations for the 1st time since february in the past week about 3000000 doses were administered each day and 11 percent decrease from the week before that's despite every american adult being eligible for the shots slipping

demand can sides with the surge of infections in some states or canada is banning flights from india and pakistan for months to help curb the spread of covert 1000 it comes after india reported the world's highest daily number of cases with more than 314000 new infections kind of his health minister said half of travelers testing positive on arrival came from india arrivals from india are also being restricted in new zealand it's been designated a very high risk country along with pakistan proper new guinea and brazil for wednesday only citizens and their families can travel to new zealand from those countries the government says it will significantly reduce the number of infected people arriving and launch a koren 1000 free travel bubble with australia this week still ahead here on al-jazeera we look at how climate change is creating a new crisis in bangladesh. that.

there were $300000000.00. the funeral for a 20 year old shot by a police officer in the same u.s. city with george for. it's time for the perfect gentleman the weather sponsored point qatar airways star some woman japan at the moment settled despite the northerly breezes to go 21 in tokyo and most of the korean peninsula is enjoying similar sorts of weather there has been rain wandering around trying to get in not really make it probably heading slowly back into was eastern china and syria go should not really been ignore us it's now over the waters it's moving out of the way and apart from the swell which will hit the coast of taiwan we can we can say is just a worry for shipping now it western china there is more rain gathering and that

will start to follow its way along the young scene has its want this is the spring rain started but at the moment that is the west is past part of mainland east asia if we had so indonesia is seeing probably the end of the radio season there are significant showers in kind of montana but maybe more of this in this line that goes back toward sumatra peninsula malaysia and catches cambodia that's the wet season if you like persistent rain sometimes heavy and we've seen a lot of such rain and snow in northern india and there were tears running down towards nepal there are few thunderstorms in the forecast brief in new delhi that it becomes quite a once again in the northern plains remain pretty hot. qatar airways. we live in a world where the new used is at our fingertips where we are worse wipe away from

the latest headlines but how often do we stop swiping and scrolling and just listen to the difference between knowing what's in the headlines and understanding how they got there. and this is to take pod cast where we bring you the context and the characters behind the stories that matter subscribe and start listening to. how to get you what you got 0 remind of our top stories this hour and dozens of world leaders have joined activists and even pope francis a 2 day meeting on climate change the u.s. pledges to harvard to carbon emissions by 2030 china says it will phase out its use

of coal from 20 to 26. israeli forces have dispersed far right jewish protesters who were attempting to confront the palestinians in occupied east jerusalem done good age water cannon we used to keep the groups apart but one of the main entrances to the old city. it corroded prostrations had been reimposed in argentina as the number of deaths of past 60000 the health minister says the country is facing its worst moment of the pandemic with many hospitals are on the verge of and. let's return to our top story in china is at the forefront of efforts to reduce emissions we're going to talk about that now with ramping song who's developing country climate action manager at the world resources institute joins us via skype from new york welcome so china is the world's largest producer and consumer of coal still building new power stations in fact coal power stations and it's called capacity is larger than all other countries

combined so to get to have its carbon emissions by 2030 wishes as it will do it's just impossible isn't it. but he's not in hospital it's going to require restless sure and you know we know that the china i recognize the needs to a chance like the economy i mean as you can see from presidencies remark today that he understands you know a good action on climate is actually for the for the economy and you know clutch kind of the beach and be sure to become or not be the cross country. and you know they were actually have to keep going this colony and the way we just would not do it so it's going to be hard but if it's probably possible can the u.s. and china cooperate illness given the the bilateral ties in general will most issues all issues apart from this. worst in decades i think

the climate change isn't one up there are you know if not the only. 2 countries have common interests and i think for the sake of both countries that they will have to work together on this issue and i don't see any reason not to and frankly speaking that you know the 2 countries agree on a common you know trajectory the common goal but then using it approaches you know they can't they can't think that you can. reconstruct their competition trying to raise you know trying to you know be it down the countries to become a more ambitious countries to communicate missions and be the country to actually meet on a i make a solution and or a g. so that's a great cloak countries the work together for the same goal that's saying hi and unleash the competitive allemands going on countries to think that the whole thing might engender a set amount of competition between the u.s. and china because china of the mind is well ahead of the united states in certain green industries like like solar and wind turbines and electric vehicles would be

a good thing wouldn't it if they got competitive in the u.s. try to catch up. yes the decade that you are you know they're the reason that we are just crazy because i'm actually recognize what they're actually trying to run up it's a mess and are a couple of years already i would only see in the us ok so i also changing you know i'll buy these today announcement because i mean i get a press there's a great ambitions a comic headcase to trying to prove as they call me it was a job and was and was the medicines so i would i see i actually will do that in the northeast obviously both countries i think their hopes that this economic interest and opportunities because countries often china is not just always. the oem all the love they call me what's going is it's kind of stopped working a couple a couple years ago so they are a chance for me to a new kind of agent time to find a new angle to go so the u.s. is actually just a mistake for the capitals and and and what they have already to to catch up and

i'm going to see that it's going to be pretty just think she said it will be rumblings only appreciate your time thanks very much indeed for joining us thank you my pleasure. well low lying bangladesh is a high risk country rising sea levels could force millions of people from their homes that are among the hardest hit hizbollah island the largest in the country often called the ground 0 of global warming it's home to some of the world's 1st climate refugees to have a child this week. in the middle of one of the world's largest belters an island is gradually disappearing and a widow whose family were once wealthy farmers over the years she has witnessed how nature can take everything away. i used to live in an area called she could abare 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 are 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 environmentalists 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 de gette everything we had out there was destroyed by river erosion and rising water 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 us president joe biden says new climate policy i don't have. replacing attitude on climate change in us before that there was almost an ounce of a life of them in the usa oh yes that would grow from that but i met convention which was and he would amount of accumulated you know he's got at the think time that commitment $400000000000.00 a year that is expected expected by the developing country must be phased in 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 off his g.d.p. on climate adaptations bond with us contributes merely 0.35 percent of global
