remain indoors to stay dry and safe between you all 0 paging. ok, let's take a closer look at how these extreme weather events have been developing with increasing frequency. recently we've seen everything from massive wildfires to devastating floods around the world once in a century, flooding, sweeping across parts of germany, belgium and benevolence, their clearing up right now, forest fires burning through siberia. usually one of the coldest places on the planet in the u. s. dozens of wildfires burning across california and oregon, canada also experiencing record temperature last month. experts believe we're running out of time to reverse the damage from a warming planet. let's talk now to tim for syfy is professor of environment and development at the london school of economics and political science and specialist . as an advisor to the u. k. parliament international development committee on climate change. he joins us on skype from london to welcome back to the news out.

how far away away from being able to if we can reverse the damage that we have done to the planet. well, that's a big question, reverse the damage. well, i think at the moment most people are just trying to get close to the situation where we begin to stabilize where we are and then gradually stopped long term investments, which will mean that we keep on having the problem. the main challenge of climate change policy at the moment is to try and get some kind of hard commitment to reducing emissions, which will then form a platform to reducing emissions that again and again in the future that has come down to a massive lifestyle change for all of us who generate a carbon footprint. i don't think so, but it will cause some changes. the question is how quickly can we do the changes? i don't believe that reducing our column footprint must necessarily mean

a radical change in our lifestyle. if there are other technologies around to help them through that, the problem is, is that we need to start developing those technologies and disseminating them much quicker. example, we need to start thinking about replacing homes, eating systems based upon fossil fuel by natural gas. and instead of moving much more towards things like heat pumps, which use the heat which is already outside the house in order to house. so it's talking about reco flooding in china. we're talking about fires in california. we're talking about records damaging flooding over 3 of the main e u european union countries. how easy is it for governments to legislate and does it really come down to having to tax people in a particular way? no, i don't think it's just down to taxing people, although that could be an option if you wish to do that. and as far as legislation goes, well, the most countries in the world are policies to the paris agreement. and the

parents agreements involve a lot of commitments. now, there is a lot of the basis with those commitments to be legally binding. but i think the reality is, is that even if i are legally binding, it doesn't necessarily mean that governments will follow those commitment protocol is fined in 1997 was legally binding, but very, very few governments actually hit those targets. so what we are now in this situation is, is basically trying to work on how to implement the commitment of the purchase agreement and how to improve upon them. and that's often down to the willingness of government. so actually put into practice actions, which will reduce gases at the top of our conversation to use the word stability. how far are we from trying to get sort of within touching distance of that stability? well, the big debate at the moment is how far to keep global? how far can we go before we can keep global temperatures below an increase of $1.00 degrees celsius?

there's a lot of debate from the modem as to when we are likely to be in that country. these, i think one of the big things at the moment is come time to reduce its current practice of building lots of new coal powered power stations. and we try and shift back on to a different form of energy or can we try and create better energy efficiency to reduce the amount of emissions coming out from countries like china, who are burning so many fossil fuels. now at the moment the target is 2025, but there are people who are trying to bring even close for in order to thought stabilizing things earlier than that tim for. so if they're in london, thank you so much for talking to us. loss will still come from here on the news, including bringing a close to 2 weeks of uncertainty. haiti's, new prime minister is sworn in and with no end in sight to the current of iris

pandemic, we look at the impact of having on life expectancy for people around the world. and in the sports news, a 44 game unbeaten street is broken field pick women's football tournament gets underway. ah, the lead times, any mean opposition party has been arrested freeman and boy and 10 other check them a party members were detained in the middle of the night. they were planning a conference to demand constitutional reforms. the authorities say they were arrested for inciting quotes on authorized assembly. there are restrictions on public gatherings to cover the spread of curve at 19. catherine soil is following those developments from the e. c o p and capital addis ababa. a demo opposition party has released a statement confirming the arrest of 11 of the members,

including the lead up room. and boy, they rested very early this morning at around 230 a. m a hotel in, in ones. they had trouble there to attend a constitutional forum, a meeting where they were to sensitize people on their push for constitutional reforms. they want, for example, to have the powers of the president reduced to have proper rules to ensure that their rees an independent electoral commission. and also to have laws that enable a president of the retirement to be tried in court for crimes committed while on the home. now, the local administration there, i said that this individual was flouting call the 19 regulations that have been imposed. they're like, you know, having public gatherings which is banned, but some opposition leaders and also officials of them. a party are saying that this really is continuing to draw back the democratic gains that have been made

just going back to enforce or continue enforcing the policies that had been put in place by the late president. john pulled them up before the times on. mia has a new president now. some. yes, to lou who had people are hopeful when she was appointed a few months ago that she was going to open up the democratic face. but now they're responsible for me. sometimes indians that has spoken to that. she's just going back to the footsteps of her predecessor police nigeria say they've secured the release of 100 villages who were kidnapped 6 weeks ago. many of them were women and children. they were abducted last month in the northwest and state of some fara heavily armed criminal gangs are responsible for a series of kidnappings for ransom across the region. document address has more for us from a boucher those released include 18 women, some of them nursing mothers and 20 children were taken from several villages in

some for a state and kept in the forest. that boat is dumb for niger as well as cathy states . these are the state why that is active ballad treat activity or group activities by and groups, and also a response from the niger and military and police forces. now we've seen over the past few weeks, how the security forces have stepped up, apparitions, or interdiction rate unbounded hide out in that area, claiming tough, it's called direct, it's and killing several ballads in those areas. we've also seen how the bundle responded. for example, a few days ago they killed at least a dozen police officer center training camp in northwest nigeria that also shut down and i did a military aircraft that conducted rates on the hide out a few days before. now, although the pilot is escaped, the bandits still continue to go mean a certain areas in the north west of the countries. the authorities are saying that the paid ransom for the release of the over $120.00 kid not victims. but there are

also hundreds of others was still being held by these groups operating in the north, west and north central parts of niger banditry activities has been on the rise for the last 3 years in nigeria, especially here in northern nigeria and central part of the jetta then i didn't president under pressure as ordered the military to conduct area and also ground approaches to free victims of kidnappings in all parts of nigeria. however, despite the approaches, there are hundreds of people kept by these ballots in various camps, in the forest of what i can, buddha niger and other parts of central and northern parts of nigeria, among them, hundreds of students taken from better schools, universities, islamic schools, and other small schools are boarding schools in north part, another part and especially in the north west. why our schools have been forced to shut down because of increased activity by the government. ok, let's pretend to story out attends

a need for the opposition. lead has been arrested. will bring in fergus carol, he's the research analyst in the africa program at chatham house. he joins us on skype from london. so i guess kell what were the constitutional reforms this group of individuals were trying to discuss well, it's been a long running debate among the opposition seeking constitutional reforms, particularly on the electoral system. they argued times in the constitution, which has been in place for many decades now. that's a huge amount of executive power in the presidency. it allows the president to appoint m p 's high court judges. and critically the, the national electoral commission. so the opposition are keen to revise some of the many executive power in the president and see there's also a dive for the constitution to be changed to allow legal challenges to election results which has previously been allowed. but it's something that we've seen in

neighboring countries, kenya, blah, we and certainly that's something the but the opposition and in times in year with, we'd like to have in place looking back previous elections where they have the disputes. what do you think the government will do with these opposition? people now being held it's, it's hard to say, but in terms of the government approach going forward, i don't think we'll see a huge amount of change on, on the position that the president's position is that the constitution will, the reforms will need to weigh lifting the bond on political rallies that's in place and times and year. we'll also need to wait until she has had time to in her words, open up the economy. that's something that's consistent with with our previous assa magazine, you said more or less the same things, but you need the time to fix up the economy before coming back to this

constitutional question. so i think certainly this is a debate. it's going to continue to rumble on for some time, especially in this time of the new president. ok, we must leave it there. focused care many thanks. thank you very much. we're in denisia has reported its highest daily death toll since the corona virus pandemic began almost 1400 people is currently dealing with the worst outbreak in asia. covered 19 restrictions have been extended until july. the 25th and neighboring me and mar the medical infrastructure is on the edge of collapse. unable to cope with a rising number of infections on tuesday, as senior politician from the former ruling and now deposed and l. d. party died in jail after contracting the virus. a warning to any change report does show some distressing images. on the old issue, emergency medical responders enter

the pandemic have been arrested by the military. no social distancing this young going crematorium for the living. or the dead bodies stacked, waiting for the furnace relatives waiting to get to the front of the queue. ambulances empty of their patience and a smokestack blowing black smoke, tony ching al jazeera, australia's too large estates are also reporting arise in daily infections even though they have been under locked new south. wales has had another 110 new cases while they have been 22 in neighboring victoria. the health authorities have ramped up testing with more than 140000 carried out on tuesday. that's a single day record. had not gone into the lockdown. a few weeks ago, the 110 number today would undoubtedly have been thousands and thousands. there is no doubt about that. so we've been extremely successful in limiting the spread to

what we have today. but we need to work hard on. india is recorded as high as daily death toll in a month, almost 4000 after the state of my roster updated, it's kind of and reported cases. the number of new infections also increased to more than 42000 right. scripts saw raising the alarm about cooper 19 spreading camps of asylum seekers on the border between mexico and the us. thousands of people are enduring, crowded and unsanitary conditions, and there are worries, there being left out of the inoculation programs. manuel apollo reports now from the border city of t. o. on a crowded tense, your mexico's border with the united states. most of the camps, residents or asylum seekers. some have been here for weeks, others months. the enduring sanitary, living conditions that have put their lives at risk every day. if you don't, you know, you know, it's difficult to have a normal life because there's a lot to adapt to and it's not the same as being a home. it's difficult,

but we're trying to find a way to survive the collecting water at the can or just using the bathroom is a daily challenge social distancing and keeping hands clean is almost impossible. i mean, i have hand gel and mouth covers and we hardly leave our tent. we stay inside more people has meant more disease including cases of corona, virus. new t. one is government does not appear to be collecting data on contagion rates among asylum seekers. they're going to say more that we don't really know how many more outbreaks do have been. there is no oversight of this. and what can happen is that people have been infected, but with no symptoms. toby 19 inoculations have sped up in communities along the us mexico border asylum seekers and refugees, however, do not appear to be included in the vaccination efforts for months. human rights advocates have warned that camp like this one, antique wanna mexico, or

a ticking time bomb for contagion here. asylum seekers and refugees are not only exposed to cope 19th, but also outbreaks of chicken pox, tuberculosis, and other communicable diseases. the in recent weeks health authorities administered chicken pox vaccine to address lies outbreak. but many say they're worried over a possible 3rd wave of the grotto virus pandemic. and mexico caught him a couple cause it worries me more than chicken pumps because chicken pumps can be easily treated but cause it is a much greater risk. he wanted officials did not respond to a request or comment on how the city plans to guarantee the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. but the longer people continue to live under such precarious conditions, unprotected from new, more transmissible variance of coby 19. the more terrifying and uncertain their situation becomes. manuel drop below al jazeera. he wanna mexico. south korea is

reporting its highest number of daily infections ever driven by the highly contagious delta variant. more than 1700 new cases were recorded on tuesday, just 13 percent of south koreans are now fully vaccinated. there are concerns the eat celebrations in senegal, could see a new surgeon, cobra. 1900 cases. their tight restrictions are in place and the capital decor. but officials are worried about gatherings held elsewhere. daily cases have risen from just a few dozen months ago to almost a 1000 on tuesday. nicholas hark with more now from decker. this is an unusual day of celebration for many cynical use. usually thousands of people gather prey in the car, central law this year, only hundreds of people are entering goods. and in order to get any special measures in place, hampton is mandatory, so it's wearing a mouse. well, the government has this weighted people hearing the delta,

the very will credit even more. this is holding. it's trying to dare to strict social this thing rule, but outside the capital in the countryside. the fear is people are gathering and mixing and niggling. and that perhaps the delta variance will spread even more following the celebration. the head of state president like yourself suggested that he might put in further restrictions like closing the border, adding a regional log down or even imposing a purse you. but there's been a lot of push back again, all of the measures there's been right months ago. and there's a sense among many facilities that the current of ours is one of many problems and challenges they are facing. the restrictions has badly affected the economy. so there's a sense among them that despite the thread of the delta vary and they'll go about their daily frances rolled out a new code. 19 health passed him at

a surgeon. infections there, people wanting to visit cinemas, museums, sports matches, and other cultural venues. will need proof of vaccination, a negative test or recent recovery from the virus. but this natasha butler now reports the new system is not being welcomed by every one. lingering on a terrace is one of life pleasures for many people in france. but soon only those were the covert parts showing that they are fully vaccinated. will have a negative p, c r test will be able to enjoy the experience. so we'll have to check customers. part is something this restaurant says this fact we consider that this is not our job to check your id and your family. we understand that this is certainly something necessary, but we are not for the men the path which is now mandatory in cinema theaters. museums will be extended to large shopping centers and some transport. the french

government hope it will reduce health risks and encourage people to get vaccinated, ga, not be in no doubt. our goal, as always, is to take measures that are proportional to the health situation to guarantee public freedoms while assuring the sanitary security of our citizens. the french president, the manual micro, announced the new covey path rules last week. and since then, there has been a search in the number of people booking vaccination appointments. within days, nearly 4000000 people have signed up for their 1st job. i don't think we should have to opposite the vaccinated and the non vaccinated. i think it's up to each person to do what they want to do on the us in the past made us to act now as we have planned, waiting until august to get back to the policy dividing opinion these protestors in paris on sunday said the government trying to force people to get books and dated by eroding their rights. pope was if the cable should be given the freedom to choose whether or not they want to be vaccinated. so it's more democratic. some

scientists say that france is in the 4th wave, fueled by the highly contagious delta convert there, and the government says that the pulse will be necessary for as long as the virus is the threats. some regarded as an anti democratic opinion. polls suggest the 2 thirds of people in france support. it is a way of hopefully avoiding another lockdown. natasha butler. i'll just sarah paris claim he will, whether his car, hello there. india is feeling the full force of the monsoon rains. you can see the cloud cover in the satellite image, particularly heavy across west areas, but also up in the north and cities are becoming waterlogged as those rains continue to for what you go into thursday. it is going to ease lightly on the west coast. it's going to be more central areas that see those torrential rains. you can see the yellow peaks there, but it's not only here. it's also in the northeast northeast northeastern states of india, seeing some of those torrential downpours and low pressure in the bay of bengal is
