laid out how the u.s. would achieve the target of causing carbon emissions in half by 2030 which he announced on thursday he invited climate advisers and business leaders to flesh out what he believes is the valuable economic opportunity of tackling the crisis while creating new jobs at the same time in other developments u.s. politicians and activists are rallying against construction of an oil pipeline in the city of memphis environmental activists say the pipeline puts at risk the drinking water of low income residents most of whom are african-american some of called the proposed energy project a case of environmental racism daniel arap in a reports now from tennessee. for months residents in south memphis have been fighting against the construction of an oil pipeline dorsey says she's worried over what it might mean if a proposed oil pipeline were to cut right through the neighborhood she's lived in for most of her life. while would be buying it the rule humanity behold there's
1:20 am
a growing movement among the local population against the plans for the energy project the concern from activists like justin j. pearson is over the ground being proposed for the pipeline which is expected to pass over the memphis aqua for so one of the most severe negative consequences is to our environment they're planning to build a $1500.00 p.s.-i crudo a pipeline atop the memphis sandakan for what supplies drinking water to over a 1000000 people in addition to this they're building at the top an area that's the most seismically active in the southeastern part of the united states. the pipeline would also pass through box town a predominantly black neighborhood that critics say is already exposed to pollution from several nearby industrial sites in recent weeks a growing chorus of voices have spoken out against the project including at least $28.00 members of congress and former u.s. vice president al gore it is reckless racist it is a rip off we're trying to stop this i plan it's called the by l.
1:21 am
yes i plan the memphis mayor just came out against it 2 days ago which gave us all some great it encouragement the 2 companies i know believe the city with ransom lawsuits they do that everywhere even though their legal theories are often nonsense but memphis is standing up because the black citizens of memphis and their white allies are standing up to say no more of this environmental racism a controversial aspect of this pipeline and others like it across the united states is the use of nationwide permit 12 which allows fall. fuel companies to fast track projects like the bay haley a connection pipeline the parent company responsible for the project valero energy corp did not respond to our request for a comment but the company has defended the project promising the pipeline will meet environmental standards. nonny joins us live now why does the situation stand then
1:22 am
between the activists and the on pipeline company. marian there's a lot of anticipation over what exactly is going to happen in this fight between activists who are opposing the construction of this pipeline but it really does come down to one thing in one word it's all about the water as you can see the rain is starting to come down on us a little bit today it's been raining on and off throughout the course of the day and a lot of this of this rain water that doesn't end up as runoff into the mississippi river who was right behind us now will be filtered down into the memphis sand aqua for which we've been told is a massive aqua for deep underground somewhere around the size of lake michigan it really is quite large and every day millions of gallons are pumped out from deep underground and supplies drinking water to the residents of memphis and the residents of the surrounding communities so this is awkward for specifically in particular really is at the heart of this controversy over the by. the connection pipeline as opposed to run from a refinery here in tennessee to the gulf coast in mississippi and what
1:23 am
environmental activists are saying you heard from our report is a concern not only over the social implications of going through a predominantly black impoverished community in southern memphis but also the impact that this could have on the drinking water because what they're saying is that this the pipeline would be going over the opera for in one of the most seismically active zones in the united states which happens to be the new mattered faultline happens to lie right on the border of tennessee mississippi and arkansas right on the other side of the mississippi river here and what would happen is if that pipeline were to burst if it were to rupture it would seem deep into the ground affecting having devastating consequences on the drinking water of millions of people and having devastating consequences on the local environment here so this is a major concern not only for environmental activists but also for social and civil rights activists here in the region now what we have learned this week is that the project. self has stalled it's been put on hold due to the mounting pressure from
1:24 am
activists due to the mounting pressure from politicians who are who are now called even not even members of congress who have joined in this in this call on us president joe biden to step in and hold construction so while litigation may not necessarily have been put on hold this big case of the buy it connection pipeline remains a focal point in this nationwide movement against the construction of this pipeline and other pipelines like it across the united states. thank you very much for bringing us the story emanuel rappler reporting from memphis tennessee. jail russian opposition to alexina valley is ending his hunger strike after $24.00 days of ollie's own supporters and doctors that urged him to end the protests to to the deteriorating state of his health he is the mounting access to his own doctor to address numbness in his legs and arms prominent kremlin critic is serving a jail sentence for breaking parole conditions by traveling to germany for treatment after being poisoned more than 1500 of his supporters were arrested
