me oh, i shook 8th of the best documentary films across the network on al jazeera, the. ready news as wildfires burn around the world, a un expert panel delivers the largest ever report on climate change. ah, you're watching, i'll just there are like for my headquarters in delphi and getting navigator also coming up another 3 provincial capital fall and i've gone on. as the taliban advanced intensifies

a renewed push to pressure in just government, but only 200 farmers are allowed to protest near parliament against laws. they say threatened their livelihood. i'm 50 several on the totally on how 1000. i read it from haiti, cuba, another 100 crossing the jungle to panama, can make it to the united states. ah, hello, thanks for joining us. the full extent of our impact on earth's climate is being laid out in a landmark united nations reports any moment. now, findings from the intergovernmental panel on climate change will be released and they're expected to contain some of the strongest statements yet from un scientists . specifically, that governments have been dangerously slow in addressing climate change. well, let's bring in our environment editor and clark is joining us from southern turkey . my now gosh, particularly a nick,

that is where the impacts of climate change can be seen. wildfire is causing major destruction, but this particular report is an enormous undertaking. it's been a long time coming. what can we expect? yeah, it is these 6 so called assessment report from the i p c. c. the 1st one was back in 1919, at that point the scientific view was that climate change man may climate change was evidence, but there was no evidence for it. well, now i think we got to hear that that evidence is unequivocal. that it is irrefutable. we've had thousands of scientists pouring over data from land, sea, and air from satellites and space. they've even delve back into the climate history of the planet, back 450000000 years to see how carbon content relates to today. and lots of other climate related matters. to try and draw together this synthesis. and what will happen with this report now will be taken forward to gloss getting clause

go in november. is the big un climate somebody that was responding from last year. and this evidence, it's hoped will encourage governments to come forward with the necessary commitments to try and reduce emissions so far. if you remember, you go back to paris in 2015. the target there was to keep temperatures from rising beyond, ideally one and a half degrees celsius over pre industrial times. we already at 1 point one degrees celsius and look at what's happening. it's not just here, it's in greece and so forth. i understand we can hear the press conference now, so let's have a listen it. we also have the chair of the i, p, c, c, wasting li, the to coaches working group one. valerie muslim, delmore, some time i'll try and the secretary, the ip, see a dollar mark since we also have several members of the working group on bureau who are available for questions and i'll introduce them nature. we're going to start

with brief opening remarks now panelists and then a presentation of the new report by the coaches. and then there'll be plenty of time for questions and answers. this press conference can be followed by the public . registered media can ask questions. if you do, please include your name and your outlet, and now invited dollar to introduce the press conference dollar. thank you and i don. i am pleased and proud to welcome you all to this virtual press conference. it follows something unique and unprecedented for the i p c. c. and for many other on 10 national organizations we have just completed a virtual approval decision that's, you know, session you know, but then your approval session is the 1st one in the historic. i want to highlight

this, it is the 1st that you had an approval fission. not only was it the 1st in if his story. it was also one of the few upper over fish and did not run into extra time book band probably with the loudest participation of delegates when we 1st realized over a year ago that the funding met 1st for us. so hold very efficient money said it was impossible, it was impossible. people is concerned about connectivity problems as well. included, as well as transparency into i. p. c. c. secretary,

i will work intensively with our bureau and with the working group one bureau in an exhaustive consultation with our member governor much to find formats not to be consistent with divide. you can see of the i, b, c, c i p c. c should have not run and policy no outcome. and we succeeded. i am proud to say that we succeeded. we succeeded over choice. we worked scholarly and efficiently without a technical hitch. no, he had all the chemical which this is something you're like. what do you, what time was scheduled? the session was on. so 7 hours for someone we had delegate

and join in from c plus 13 hours like in some war to be t c minus 7 hours in the north american west coast. oh well to see didn't clock out 186. i was on the virtual platform during this 2 week and they were walking another are both great of don't 6. 0, what day? i should not that he really got to you know what it said in closes a p c meeting. but i can tell you that many delegates in their closing statements said that this was the most successful. i p c. c approval fish. and they couldn't remember just to have flagged that in this company,

isn't they include the even better? so none the, they're not in person. that's mean it's it, this very true. one was the best one compared to even physical ones. we had a low cost of attendance, $739.00 participant. and this is really a record we never have in, in person plenary. that's the number of participant and as you out over to here, the lizard was one of the strongest. and most significant reports of the in the i, p. c. c has produced, and disney bought for organ, groupon is come in to feed the bus, get the package for the 6 cycle, for which we are producing a 3 board,

making this 6 cycle the most and the most rich in the i p. c. c. history. once again, it is a recall i would like to take this opportunity to thank the working group one chair, 180 and by now i want to sort of thank you. remember it's $234.00 up. that is, and also the picnic us report unit team, the working group, one as the others are in. and also i want to thank you pretty heartily. my small secret where she is like go be hiv or can non stop really well no time zone for each piece is just sick and i want to so i want to like to thank how many

of them total gun is ation and also yes, i want to thank old shed for his leadership total all this process. in this 6 cycle, we are making a study. so i want to thank all the one who contributed in background to this process. so we did this by want to turn to are not done. you're not done, you have the law. thank you. thank you, donna. from the systems and i want to make some thank you very much and let me just echo went up the la just said a warm and thanks to everyone who has been involved in this to the pc, to the authors and to everyone who has been involved in this latest climate alarm

your work based on science is particularly appreciated. given the disruption of cobit 19, you've been telling us for with 3 decades of the dangers of allowing the candidate to warm the world listen, but didn't hear the wellness in, but it did not act strongly enough. and as a result, climate change is a problem that is here. now, nobody is safe and it's getting worse foster. we must treat climate change as an immediate threat just as we must treat the connected crisis of nature and by diversity loss and pollution and waste. as immediate threats has recently noted in the gc and the inter governmental science policy platform and bio diversity meeker system services. the twin to i pcc if you like. under the c b b convention.

we understand that climate change exacerbates already grave risks to by diversity and natural managed habits. ecosystem degradation damages nature's ability to reduce the force of climate change. and as the i p c. c, working group, one report reminds us, reducing greenhouse gases will not only slow climate change, but will improve air quality. it's all connected. it's time to get serious because every ton of c o 2 emission adds to global warming as you enough to proceed noted last week. $110.00 countries just $110.00 out of $191.00 parties to the convention, have submitted new or updated and be fees ahead of the next climate cop, governments need to make their net 0 plan an integral part of their parish commitments. they must finance and support developing countries to adapt to climate

change. as promised. under the pairs agreement, they must be carbonized foster. they must restore natural systems of draw down carbon, cut out me saying, and other greenhouse gases foster. get behind the key galle amendment to the material protocol, to cut the climate impact of the cooling industry. and every business, every investor and every citizen needs to play their part. we can undo the mistakes of the past, but this generation of political and business leaders. this generation of conscious citizens can make things right. this generation can make, this is some changes that will stop the planet. warming help everyone adapt to the new conditions and create a world peace, prosperity, and equity. climate change is here now, but we also hear now and if we don't act school. well,

thank you. thank. thank you very much singer and now i didn't buy, petrie to take the floor. okay. and thanks for having me do these opening of disabled session and have him organize the climate conference all night. the 79, please stablish id. see that he's got climate sales force so caused by growing consumption of oil, coal. and that's what gas was. they go by the media wants to got community i pcc has seen working under one unit and then, and i've been proud to host the secretary at now we are publishing the physical science of the sensors. meant the report, which is summarizing, set, publish, think, be viewed scientific, doing the last a d. s. o doctor,

thank hundreds of us of the, of these massive report. and especially, thank valerie. but my son, more than the site was been eating the work and the several years of the carrier bcc you saw the main finding. so the street bought a key metrics. these are still the same as the 1st i p. c report probably store in 1988, namely, climate change to set up all the by using several measure the physical part. i meet this secondly, human need years to me, since we have gas is carbon dioxide for human being and for the biosphere. and certainly, inaction of the greenhouse gas, he said, would be, need recommended. minimize risk. fuser climate says pretty obvious today,

of course, the same as you sleep much saw your susie. i'm saying she saw him all visible and then he says, have grown more than more than we ever expected. in 1979. i've been trying to follow these also personally as a scientist, these and professor and i know some of the national i bcc committee and then a gate that sort of has always been causing whether extremes and you know, so also in the future calls to be game say yesterday, by using for them. so i would say that we have been exposed to doping. it's nice to have begun observing by what the scenes more often than before. that means record breaking temperatures route for a fire. ready also the c r and also using these they set increasing california. for

example, we have also more water vapor in darkness. be our slave to see the flooding problems in central europe and china. these are these unfortunately the warming help the also affect the, the frequency and the area of the most industrial. because thongs, again, i phone, send a psycho i we lost the hope. no one. yes. according to this report, we still having a chance to stop, then they get the climate friend doing the meet the sensory by especially meeting the use of force accused and by stopping before i station something seems to me to continue for centuries and or even thousands of us by the sea level ice melting, lazy and thinking of

r t. i snow cover the report lines when high level of climate mitigation be heading towards limits $1.00 degrees forming by the end of the century. and our aim is $3.00 degree warming level, which would be best for the benefit of mankind and bias via now we are heading towards the tree to be set. warming is better we have received encouraging betsy by several countries before me in about one degree. well, i mean you promised there's nothing out of all i lean back like lots of food products and get us the for the show that she's there. extreme. he, there are a whole new level rice. so if you see guys use and

then they, they the impacts about the economy and bias besides climate mitigate some of these, it says the pay attention to climate station and they've been in the plan with you to continue for decades. and in some cases, for thousands of yes, by the ball rolling plan with them all the same issues only the 3 members will have some services in place. it's nice more him and then economy classes have also see be getting better. and i love to go observing, especially in africa, some parts of latin america. and if you can kind of be an island states, which is a major, major negative impact on the, on that question, focus in those areas are, those might make it so clear the race,

the level of mitigation coming 26, meeting in glasgow. this november will be great because my stone calling about climate things are using sport stamps. again, you need to spend sport sport already denise the game before the finish. as we do at the competitions. thank you. thank you. periods i my know and i placed him to introduce the report with jonathan 1st grade, i'd like to record that today is the international day of the wars. envision of papers i guess is the assessments. joy saw on respect draws on enormously and also respect, indigenous knowledge all over the world. we recognize that traditional cultural practices can be resilient climate and non climate stressors. and so that is the

landmark report by un scientific panel being released right now. the scientists discussing the findings and it is calling recent changes to climate change unprecedented the panel also saying that it on equivocal clean blames humans. and at the same time, it makes the case for a drastic cuts to emissions. let's bring in our environment editor and clark is joining us now from southern turkey and my now got so, nick, what we've heard so far, i mean, the panel is still discussing the findings. what we've heard so far is that the really setting out the stark reality of the state of the planet what have been to take away messages. yeah. reality indeed, and it's grim isn't it. no one is safe, they say, and it's getting worse. if we don't at who will you know,

988 was the 1st report i p c c report. and then they said it was pretty clear that might make climate change was going on, but there was no direct evidence that they could demonstrate to convince people. well, now this is a 6 assessment report. there is no doubt unequivocal, as you say. and when you hear words like unprecedented and extremes and irreversible, that you know that we are in trouble. let's have a look at it. i've got some key point sets. the i p c have given out here. busy talking about 1st of all, how many of the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years. and some of the changes already set in motion such as sea level rise are, as you said, during irreversible. so that means that it's already set in place. there's a certain amount of sea level rise that we can't stop, but, and this is the good side of it as strong and sustained reductions, the ip cc say in emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases would limit

climate change. and this is crucial, obviously still needs to be a wholesale change in the way we energize the world. and we've got to get rid of fossil fuels and we've got to do it. they say by 2050. we have to d carbonite by 2050, but that's less than 30 years away. so there's an awful long way to go on that front. it also said that the report finds in less immediate rapid and large go reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. limited want to close to one and a half, 3 celsius or even 2 degrees celsius that will be beyond reach. and what you remember here is the parents agreement back in 2015. it said then that term just should not increase beyond pre industrial levels. beyond at 1.53 celsius ideally, and certainly not beyond 2 degrees celsius. we already at $1.00 degrees celsius. and look around, you look at the devastation that we're seeing here,

the devastation that struck southern turkey and mom rous and budrum as well. and those terrible reports that we been seeing coming from greece and northern california. these are the consequences that they're talking about the consequences of an overheated world that is being driven by man. nick, what does the thing different of this report being launched? now? as we look ahead to about 3 months time, that's when there will be a major you and climate conference that's being held in glasgow. scotland yeah, well that's very significant that you and climate conference was due to be held in 2020 last year in december last year, but it was cancelled because of the 19 issues at so now is being pushed forward to early november in clouds. good is going to be 2 weeks of un towards these all the annual climate talks that take place every year. you know, frankly, it's always a bit of a circus. everybody's going to and fro and arguing with semi colon,

to my new shy of what should go, where semantics of wording and so forth. but this time with the backing of this report, it's pretty hard for governments to argue that they should not be reducing emissions . and then going back to this $103.00 celsius target, and we are already at $1.00 degrees as a say. the current government commit commitments were around the world, would puts temperature rise at $2.00 degrees celsius. and again, we are at $1.00 degrees celsius and this is happening total devastation, the consequences a pass to the human use. i was speaking to somebody just a 2nd ago. it was sitting just up there wouldn't be able to show you a bit later, but he was, he's been there for 3 days. he's in temporary combination down the road and he comes up and he sits and stares pile of rubble. there was once his house and his farm, and that's the reality. thank you so much clark for that reporting from southern

turkey. just to continue that conversation, let's show you what's happening around the world because extreme heat and dry winds are fueling several wildfires around the glow. take a look at california, the so called dixie fire is now the 2nd largest in the states history. it's one of 11 wildfires, devastating the states, at least 8 people are now missing as firefighters struggle to contain the widespread flames authorities estimate they will not be fully extinguished for 2 more weeks, thousands of people have been forced to abandon their homes. and there are at least 4 huge fires burning out of control in greece. flames on the island of area, having gulf 5 more villages, more than 2000 people have been rescued since last week, varies, are standing by to take more people to safety. you see the movie yourself yourself . okay. the movie. now, not the movie because i realized that we live on.

we and fires north of the greek capital. athens have been contained, but it is feared a heat wave could spark more flareups. vast areas of forest and dozens of homes have been destroyed in the past week alone. more than 150 wildfires in russia are threatening villages in northern siberia. thousands of troops are battling to put them out. trails are being cleared around a dozen communities to stop the fires from spreading to other news and a rapid offensive by the taliban is now overwhelming afghan forces. so the arm group says it's taken control of assist provincial capital in just 3 days. the most significant gain is the northern city of condos. the taliban says it's also taken the nearby city of telecom and sa report. charlotte palace reports from couple 100 another soon. rising on what would become a store day in a canister, 1st,

the telephone into condos. one of the country's biggest cities and a gateway to the north. i just don't want to beyond group talk briefly in 20152016 before us special forces pushed in spite is out. now america cannot stand in the way 3 by street. the television took condos back and when the said he fell, so did the entire province. we have captured the main square. it's 2 pm on sunday and the whole area is in our hands. the government is doing false propaganda, saying it hasn't fallen, but you can see our flags. the gun air force responded with is strikes which lead to fires and the central market special forces announced they launched an operation to reclaim the city. been the taliban took sorrowful also in middle east. the telephone flashes entering the city's police headquarters

a few hours later attention turned to telecom. the provincial capital of to haul in the northeast afghan security forces had repelled their attacks weeks. finally, the taliban broke the front line. the president, supervisors were in government buildings. they freed detainees from a prison the to the telephone slices. this is a moment of celebration with each provincial capital they captured. they also got the, a province after 5 years of trying to take control of the province. they have now taken 5 in 3 days. the afghan security forces. this is not the end lay a plane encounter offences using special forces and african and us it strikes. if you focused on a given sliver of time at any given moment, a province may have fallen under the telephone control,

but i think the situation remains completely fluid. the telephone spokesman told al jazeera beyond group naval wanted a war. our response is clear. we want a peaceful solution of the issue that we we waited for for the last one year. but now the taliban has moved into cities. a new stage of urban warfare is on the horizon. if the government wants to take them back, hundreds of thousands of civilians. risk being caught in the crossfire charlotte bellis al jazeera cobble. ah! hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, a major new un climate reports as the changes seen in recent years are unprecedented in thousands of years. it says.
