down examines links between these 2 crises and asks why it took a panoramic to bring on changes that should have been made long ago. all these things, we would tell him a complete, impossible, suddenly become connected. the wake up call that can't be ignored. on our job. ah, me. this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm emily angry because the news our live from coming up in the next 16 minutes, a code red for humanities, a landmark un report issues a warning on how human activity is causing irreversible eating throughout flemish. and now the 3 provincial capital school in afghanistan as the taliban in tampa 5,

it's a fellow, russian president, alexander lucas, jenco and lafayette disputed election were free and fair despite widespread opposition. plus i'm city. so i will put on, there was a story on how 1000 i read from haiti, cuba, another 100 crossing the jungle through 10 am. i will make it to the united states . i'm going to go with the thought. all eyes are on leno. messy is the form of offline assad's report to be heading to paris for a medical with g. emotional farewell with the spanish giant. ah. our planet who's fighting a serious crisis, and we need to do something about it. now. that's the message from the world's leading authority on. i'm at science. the intergovernmental panel on climate change

says the impact of rising temperatures is already being felt and some changes. and now it reversed of all. let's go straight to our environment to edit and nick clock in men of gas in southern turkey were wildfires have caused widespread destruction . nick, talk us through the main findings. yeah, you join us in man, i've got in antalya, in southern turkey where the destruction has been widespread and quite horrified. if you just look over here, you can just see the devastation. the acres and acres of forest and farmland destroyed the fire swept through in a matter of minutes. and this kind of extreme climate event is why this report is at so important. highlighting the danger that we are in ends where you get a real sense of what people have been through. you look down on the village here, you can see there's a house standing behind it. there's a mosque before that there were 30 or 4 more houses. the 5 went through,

destroyed them all, destroyed people's lives. they will be reduced to rebel. it is an extraordinary scene down the, the people that you meet on the street. a just shell shocked, and that is the reality of what is happening. the i p c. c. say that no one is safe and we do if we do not act, who will it is the most comprehensive report as i say in the states of the climate climate. so what did they find? first off, the world is about one degree warmer today than it was. busy in 1850, that's pre industrial times. so it's actually just a little bit over one degree warmer than it was then. and even that degree for me, cause this within a generation would like to see the arctic sea free for free of ice for the 1st time . the greenhouse gas emissions of the past and those were lights produced, the future, they will lead to irreversible changes, especially toward oceans. i, sheets, and sea levels irreversible changes. extreme weather events have become more common

. that means western monsoons, long drought, strong dislike trades and extreme weather events like we've been seeing here. or let's say now from the chair of the i p. c. c, it's hosting lee. and he said the findings had been compiled in unprecedented circumstance. this report, which serves as a timely new evidence base for negotiators at the $26.00 negotiation starting in less than 3 months. it will be a valuable tool box for negotiators that they consider the level of ambition that up $26.00 and together with the rest of the assessment report as they prepared for the global start. take this report, climate change 2021. the physical science base bases expands our knowledge of attribution of climate change, including the human contribution extreme weather events. and it provides us with

that improved understanding of climate change, including warning, as present and future. first, it tells us that it is indisputable that human causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. second, it shows that climate changes affecting every region on our planet. and lastly, explain that strong, rapid sustain reductions in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions would be required to limit global warming. the wolf eyes in north california in greece, in here in turkey, had been from the center of course of a news for days. now we came here to a man of got to see, well, after the fall it's been put up, but really just to see the consequences of extreme weather events. just how people dealing with what's happened and what's going through has the foss swept through their villages? it is an apocalyptic scene. skeletal trees with

a fruit chard, as they hang. no one has ever seen fires like these before. they came with little warning, leaving people stunned with everything lost. even the dead went sped from the flames. home and half fit now only for demolition. these are the consequences of an overheated world. the children's playground melted by the intense heat. those who played here may well wonder what the future holds in this changing world. this will be the future, say the scientists, unless something is done. and this they say is just a hint of what could be to come. humanity, his lit the fuse and humanity was put it out before it's too late. i talked to 65 year old pharma below, couldn't he tells me the only clothes he has left are the ones he standing in has

we lost everything. there is nothing left of our house. if the same fall and neighbours 0, the tractor, the ho, the shovel, every tool we had is gone. everything we built up in 70 to 80 years is gone. high of all of it disappeared in 20 minutes. it came and went like a c wave. from turkey to grease its been a furious fight against the fires, extraordinary temperatures, sparking the tragedy in all these regions. wildfires happen every year but never on this scale. it's the same in northern california where fire blazing over hundreds of square kilometers destroying communities. across the world, extreme weather is building and ferocity just last month, unprecedented floods in germany, in belgian devastated towns and swept away roads. more than 200 were killed with many still missing. and the science shows its fossil fuel emissions that have made

these events worse. manmade climate change. the truth is, this is a story that people that really want to hear the reality perhaps too much for people to deal with to take in. but what's becoming increasingly clear, is it the consequences of doing nothing at all? is infinitely worse for everybody who's john dugan has been helping with the rescue effort. here in southern turkey, he says the fires were sparked after months of drought followed by an intense heat wave on tale is famous for its long lasting rain. and the last few there is no, is in this year in mos in opera on the may, there was clearly no sign of rain and this is the result. and then just like that, as we're heading back from filming this happens. and the sky opens. a deluge of rain cascades down darcy apart. land the rain

just as unpredictable as the fires and 2 weeks too late. they say we can now speak to one of the lead authors of the report. he's also professor climate science at the university of reading in the u. k. he is richard allen. richard, thank you for joining us on the program at this report. doesn't pull any punches at all, we're in a predicament, it seems. how bad is the situation in your view? so i so it's a comprehensive assessment with the science climate change. and it pains, but pretty bleak picture in terms of what's already happening as, as you've been showing with the world for us. but it was so extreme events happening across the world. he to north america and southern europe and turkey and, but also extreme rainfall. an associated floating like we've seen in iran in north

korea recently, but also in europe and elsewhere. and it's only going to get worse unless we commit to strong rapid and sustained drug reductions in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. the rather alarming words in the report, not least, the word irreversible. tell us more about that. what that means because that sounds as if things will never get better. yes, i mean some, some aspects of the climate system are reversible. if we limit the warming, then we will be able to limit the extreme events and the reduction in our 60 us and things like that. but you're right. some aspects are going to be irreversible. and these are the very slow parts of the climate system. so for example, it takes hundreds of years to fully heat up, the potions and i expand as they get warmer, it takes hundreds of years to melt the really large ice sheets that also contribute

to sea level rise. so we're committed to arise in sea level over the very long period over hundreds of years. we commit to this, but we can still limit the size of it by limiting the amount of warming. so we are locked in to a degree of sea level rise, even if we stopped admitting carbon right now with us drives we are committed to a certain amount warn we can if we, if we follow the very low emission scenarios, limits warming to one and a half degrees celsius above pre industrial and if we do the we still commits into 2 baby a meta yeah, over the long term, even any,

you know, 2 to 3 meters in the very long term. are we talking hundreds of years? so that kind of period you can adapt to some aspects, but of course, the small, either nation's, they're not gonna be, i would say, but in the short term, we're still committed to up to maybe a meet by the, under the temperature under the century. and it could be larger than what other aspects of the report we're looking out for these low likelihood, but still very large impacts possibilities. one of these being the rapid melting of knowledge i sheets to to uncertain processes. ok, richard, i just want to jump. is this 1? 1 last questions at science have been talking about this for years now. governments have not done enough to act in many cases they've done very little. how can they be persuaded now to act? well, the science is clear and miss physical son's report gives the policy makers the tools to make decisions on climate change. and

a distinct part of this report is it's involved. but the last stages of sprint finish are the last few weeks which i was involved in 195 countries when the government delegates have been approving line by line. so they've brought in to the science, they understand what it is, and it's up to the policy makers, for example, up the top $26.00 in glasgow coming up in november to then commit country by country to strong and rapid and sustained cuts in c o. 2 and other greenhouse gases to limits warming to below 2 degrees c of warming, or even 1.5 to have warming. that is richard on one of the lead offers of the report said professor climate science at the university of reading. richard, thanks very much indeed. for your time, appreciate now, we came here to see the wall of oz in antalya province, but they've also been extensive elsewhere in turkey. correspondence, russell dine is 7 or 8 hours west of here. he's in budrum,

a russell. tell us about your experiences and what you've been saying. well a nick 12 days ago when i arrived in on tale and when i got to be honest, i was thinking that within one or 2 days i'm going to back home because turkey is used to the wildfires. and so far that had been brought under the control in the previous years easily. but when i arrived when i goodman, i got the scale of the wildfires, it was just like a hotter movie. i remember. and my 1st life, when i had been asked what i see and what's happening there at was it was one of the rear moments in my carrier that i had a difficulties to report because simply i was in the middle of a hell and everywhere, whatever i could see just was burning and i could see, but i was one of the real moment that when i could see but i couldn't describe or i

could feel, but i couldn't find the pool per word is to alter that can match the situation there as if there was a, we'll just pooled on the soil, the forest and the pastor lands and it was just getting burned and other difficult time that there was a report he was in the village of a center when we arrived, when the houses were still burning and the fires were still raising over houses and all the phone lines. and one of 35 years old man was in a despair just looking at the house that was turning was on the he was surrounded by the blazes and turning into the ashes, the dust. and he was just looking at it and desperately just crying, saying, i have 4 kids, what am i going to do now? and i even could, i felt weird to ask him what he feels, what someone will feel well feel when he sees that his house is burning and turning

into the ashes. it was beyond the imagination to the west station. there another movement on forget them a moment. my reporting says 12 days when in the religious column lead a married car pool, a so horribly got burned with the y fi as they were trying to run away from their houses. what they had been called by the fire, but they could not manage to escape. and the witch is that their said, when they formed a body, they were just leaning toward a wall and their body was completely burnt out, or just minutes after that had to be alive and i was still under the short no. here what i stand is one of the most popular, put a stick destination of turkey woodrum. just a couple of weeks ago, we will have had a completely different we, as this is one of the most precious course lines of turkey. but now this play towards tickets pastor lance forest and seals or turn into the ashes. so far there

have been 240 wildfires reported that across the company and 225 of them are brought onto the control bus feel. fire fight fires are burning in the pro is or move the weather conditions or not how food they're not friendly. it says that in the coming days the ceiling hit. the low humidity and strong winds, unfortunately are going to continue here. so it is quite unpredictable where the situation is going to go. shaw the reins that we had here, russell not to reach you yet suddenly hurrying scene and things that you had to witness their real sense of desolation, hale missus, and a pungent as a smell of ash and smoke still in the rustle set on thanks very much indeed, in budrum, it's not only tech is also siberia, dozens of forest fires. there. the 40 evacuations in the roots were this remote russian region. people in at least 2 villages have been told to leave several

others are at risk. more than 30 houses were destroyed by fires on saturday. a team of 3 and a half 1000 emergency workers a trying to put out the flames that problems there and siberia to back here in southern europe. the been dreadful scenes in greece as and bess robbie has been reporting for al jazeera. the vast areas have been destroyed. and zane ballpark is, of course, like here, not on comin in greece, but the scale of it so different this time me exactly right make will spoken to many people and what they said is that wildfires happen every year. but people in the 506070 follow, they have never seen it of bodies. we spent the, we covering the devastation in athens in and it was absolutely terrible this morning. we drove to the island is heavier. we drove into the central part and cross all the way north and the scale of that devastation really outpace to

anything that we've seen in athens and the fires. here we're far more intense simply because this is a much denser forest, if you very heavily, heavily wooded island and the scale of devastation is seen going from one town to the next from one of those to the next is absolutely enormous. we are here in a village called on a and it is about the population is about a 150 people. many have left, some are still here. it is right on the gee and coast. you should be able to see the sea from here. but the smoke is simply black and the skies so much you can even see anything. let me just kind of kind of camera here so you can get a sense of it. if you look over the tree line, the smoke is just getting thicker and thicker. we've been hearing trees falling in the forests to our, to our right to our behind us. the trees are weak from fire. they're all coming down. that is a real threat to people safety now tree fall. and if you look at the smoke

billowing in the valley, there, those are fresh fires. those are, those are fires that have been burning since last night. there was huge fires. you're just 24 hours ago. and the dark smoke, you can see past the tree line, those are fresh fires that are starting up again. and, but it's only a kilometer to away that the coastline, the beaches should be visible right now from where we are. but you can, you can barely tell the difference between the water line and where the smoke is. ships are passing, but you just can't see them because the smoke is so spit it burns the eyes without a mask, you can barely breathe for very long. we came across a fire rescue through today and we went and started to ask them a few questions and they began to speak, but they were only mouthing words, no sound was coming out. and then they tried to speak and it turned out that they've been on the fire line so long. if they'd lost their voices, they couldn't speak if they were going from a fire they had just put out for the next one further up the road to another town

so that the circumstances here continue to be very challenging right now where we are. is it the northernmost point of the island and it continues to burn people here are still struggling to figure out how long it's going to take for these fires to stop burning to stop continuing to spread, we spoke to a team leader of a, of a local forest management tree that was helping the fire rescue teams deal with the fires. and they said they're no longer trying to put out these far as they simply can't do that they're trying to contain them by taking down as much of the trees around the phone to limit them to smaller areas, to smaller zones, to try to contain the phone that's the best we can do. he said they are doing the best they can do, but he feels like they are now losing the fight. yes

they know whole there seems the products of an overheated world as in both robbie there in greece. of course, it's not only heat waves and wildfires that have been a problem in a recent weeks, also terrible flooding scenes of terrible flooding in germany and belgium that killed more than $200.00 people start vast is in violet. how much of a wakeup call has it's been for germany? would you say well, make i have been covering this aster climate disaster in asia for many, many years. the phone or both communities. there were very much affected by climate relate to disaster floods, landslide. but this is the very 1st time i've been covering it here. so close to home. i've actually, i was born one hour away from here. this is our wireless historic town. i'll show you. they were completely taken by surprise. the water levels were rising so quickly that they got their warnings,

but they completely ignore them because they never expected to go this high in the 1st floor. so i spoke to people here, people here in this historic sound who was watching the water levels and a free, they simply scream, 2 people to go out. and then they face them because they're afraid for people who are not square, you mean they die. so now while a pencil people sadly die during the slots, this is very near to one of the most industrial areas here in the western part of germany. it's a very old town that has buildings basing back to the 1516 century war never affected by any kind of weather like this. this is the result of we days of that. we have the rain full, an amount of water they haven't seen here ever before. and i'll take you back to those 1st days. i'm a check was getting hit him back here at home. as you can see in my report.

not game as a completed prize too many on highway 265 in germany. people were returning home from work. but need a town of f start in north rhino failure. it was suddenly confronted with a wall of water 12 meters high. remarkably, everyone survived. they'd been 3 days of torrential rain in some places, up to 150000000 meter. and just 48 hours. germany normally gets about half of that in the whole of july and nearby towns and villages along the river. there was also shocked at the sudden rise in water levels. and what tragic consequences in syncing 12 residents in a home for it is able died when they weren't evacuated in time. what remains of this horrifying moment are the thick layers of mud sweeping through, houses, restaurants, and shops. people's lives have been changed forever. we might please take markets in the historic wine town of our wild with dozens of people died. he tells us of

a man who lost both. his parents told me the image of the woman being swept away, waving her hand crying for help. you know, i have to and it didn't make it and i'm not sure if they were found across the board or in belgium where at least 40 people died. a criminal investigation has begun to find out who is responsible for failure in the warning system pretty well, not to miss all and we have nothing left, no home, no furniture, clothes. it's so hard. but i say to myself, at least i saved my child as a mother, that's the most important the river most birth, it's banks and flooded positively, ash province, including hundreds of municipalities. there was also damage on the dutch side of the board, and the town of falcon berg would estimate the costs could reach billions of

dollars while the water has receded. the images of the sudden, deathly flats will remain with people forever. some expert say building better production measures won't be enough in the future. and more steps need to be taken to prevent temperatures rising. only then can people feel safe again. while it's definitely a wake up call for people to hear affected by the slots. the question now is, is it also a wakeup call for the government immediately after this? this also happens on the la merkel chancellor anglo merkel made this connection with climate change, but she will and her term also 60 years after elections in september and a possible success. army lasha was actually also the prime minister of one of these very badly affected areas, not running must fall and has been criticized for not doing enough to have this energy transition that is so important here in germany. speed up. so the question

remains, if this wakeup call will affect the people here who have to vote at the end of september. and then we will know if it's a wake up call or just business as usual, back to you and they all right. step thanks very much indeed. thanks for that just at rest. and there in germany and data is we've had the science now, the science is unequivocal. say the i p c. c. now it is up to the government. next stop will be glad to go at the beginning of november, the you and climate summit. and people are saying that's if summit fails and all bets are off for these kind of events for the extreme weather events that we've been seeing. an ongoing climate change. it really is up to world leadership to do something about this. now. nick clark, thank you so much for that comprehensive coverage. our environment edit hair there live in man of got a k. plenty more hate on this news. our including our new to push from india pharma,

is to pressure the government. i have a lot of guys say threatening that their livelihood and in sport will show you the by full time with a spring box or a game winning performance. that's coming up with just a afghan government forces are fighting to re tag several cities which were captured by the taliban at the weekend. the group says it's taking control of 5 provincial capital since friday. the most significant gain is in the northern city of coons and taliban says it's also taken me by city of telecom and salary poll. charlotte bellis reports from campbell got hung up under the sun rising. and what would become a story day in afghan ostomy? first, the telephone into condos, one of the country's biggest cities and a gateway to the north. i just don't want it. beyond group took it briefly in

20152016. before us special forces pushed spices out. now america cannot stand in the way 3 by street. the taliban took us 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 flag. the gun air force responded with is strikes which lead to fires in the central market. special forces announced they launched in operation to reclaim the city. been the taliban took sorrowful, also in the north east taliban fighters 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. we've finally, the taliban broke the front line. the residency, the fighters were in government buildings. they free detainees from a prison, the to the telephone fighters. this is a moment of celebration with each provincial capital they captured. they also got the wider 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 layer planning counter offences using special forces and africa and us it strikes. if you focus 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 at the.
