is to stop pushing back on some of those taliban games. the money that's going to the african military is, is showing that the u. s. is supporting the ongoing war effort of the afghans which the afghan government says, but basically defensive efforts to try to stop a taliban offensive. and of course, all of these things matter because there's no c spot in place. once you have a ceasefire in place and a conflict, it locks in the 2 sides positions the negotiating table right now though, it's a fluid situation and whoever has more territory has more leverage in the negotiations and the taliban feel that they are moving forward and progressing and making gains, putting them in a dominant position around the go see 800 table. the the 1st guild metal has been awarded at the tokyo olympics going to china's young

reef as an endangered heritage site. despite evidence that it is under threat from climate change and coral bleaching, greenpeace is condemning the australian government for lobbying against it, being granted protected status. this is a product of one of the most cynical lobbying if it's a recent years in which truth has been sacrificed for the political appearances of an australian government that is doing nothing credible to tackle the number one cause of the process of very race which is climate change people of the world have every right to be mystified by a strong and government that the spot 55000000 is of a strong being burned in the great fires and 60 percent of the grades, very roasting impacted by the 3 massive bleaching events. record droughts, a 1000000 dead fish strategies. great. murray,

darling bison system that still the strategy in government is one of the world's worst leg guards on climate action. well, selina ward is a coral reef scientist and a senior lecturer at the university of queensland. she says it's time for the australian government to take climate change. seriously. there's absolutely no doubt that the great barrier under the threat and the daughter is there it from all the a strained government organizations as well as all the universities making it very clear, very few still beautiful and we can still save it, but we are getting more frequent mess, bleaching events which will, which frequently result in large mortality on the rave. we have one quality problem for industrialized being the coastline of the great barrier reef, which adds to water quality problems. so if the threats we've lost considerable sections of the great barrier reef,

and if we don't take very big dramatic action on climate change, we will get more and more bleaching events. and the rates will not have time to recover. the federal government has an appalling record on climate change. not only do we have aspiration for 0 emissions, not actual target. we government also chases new fossil fuel development, which i think in the current climate is absolutely unforgivable. so they are seeking new call. mine's new gas development and even using funding for renewables to try and say fossil fuel. so, well the strategy is a fairly small country population was. so our missions huge is a global plan. if we consider the emissions of the big coal mine that have proposed and the gas developed and then we became become

a much more important player globally. so our government really needs to step up and take con, changed seriously near the coast of senegal and mortality of the world's largest known cold waterleaf home to countless, rare and endangered species is also where international companies are drilling for oil and gas. but local fishermen, se dolphins and turtles of washing up dead on the beaches. the shores of senegal, nicholas hank reports now from the fishing time, a kiosk. deep in senegal, the territorial waters, 500 meters below sea level, are creatures that humans have not yet encountered. it is a canyon as long as the great wall of china, 400 kilometers, and 100 meters high. this is the world's largest cold water reef home to oysters, that are 30 centimeters long and 500 years old. here are the court of orest reef each fish and endangered charge to meet it is at the edge of this precious ecosystem until now,

undisturbed by human interaction. that while the national companies are preparing to extract billions of barrels of oil in the trillion cubic feet of gas, since the drilling began, endangered dolphins, turtles, and other sea life have washed up on the shore. fishermen by bureau fall has never seen anything like it. and says, it is a bad omen. also if i feel pain and sadness, they like us, they like human beings. these are noble animals, the guide us when we go fishing while they lead other fish, their death is a bad sign. clinicals ministry efficient says oil and gas companies are not to blame it. think a technique using dynamite to fish may responsible for the death while it is illegal. fishermen watch shows his son how it's done. the device does not detonate in front of our camera. he says he doesn't want to be seen breaking the law. i've got a leg up on um,

hundreds of nautical miles away is environmental pollution of far greater magnitude . chinese and european deep sea trawlers scraped the ocean floor with giant nets. in a matter of minutes, they kill and destroy everything in their path, including coral reefs. scientists predict that within a decade, ocean ecosystems will collapse because of a combination of rising temperatures. over fishing and schuman pollution with it will disappear the opportunity for humans to encounter new species of life. because for them, time may be running out. nicholas hall get al jazeera k are cynical. ah, this is al jazeera,
