5:00 pm
ah ah, me a code read for humanity, landmark you in report issues a warning on how human activities causing irreversible anything to our planet. and i'm seeing bas robbie on the north tip of abbey island in greece were wildfires that have been raging for a week are still burning. ah, why mainly i wouldn't be alive from so how so coming up to tell about an intense, advised bombs that it captures this problem. and i've kind of done in poor dang,
5:01 pm
shelf, bonds, a little safety. why asylum seekers? in fact, by the us are easy price, mexico, as a drunk game. ah, our planet, he's facing a serious crisis and we need to do something about it immediately. that's the message from the world's leading authority on climate times. the intergovernmental panel on climate change says the impact of rising temperatures is already being felt and some changes. and now it reversible. let's go straight to our environment editor nick clock in men nav gaps in southern turkey, where wild fives have caused widespread destruction. nick took us through the main finding this is the most comprehensive report we've ever seen on the state of the planet climates. it's
5:02 pm
taken thousands of scientists and advisors months if not years of pouring over all the latest data from satellite from measurements from c measurements. and the dates we've looked at historical data more than 5450000000 years ago. they've got as far back as that to try and get a real picture of how things compare now to the past and, and what it means for the future. and the 1st assessments, remember, was in 1990. this is a 6 assessment the 1st 1990. then the message was left. we know that climate change is happening, but we can't really prove it. well, now 6 assessments on 31 years later, it is, as they say themselves, like to say themselves, it is unequivocal that humans a warmed the atmosphere ocean and land. that is to say, it is beyond argument. also, other words that you always know you're in trouble with unprecedented. the rates of war means unprecedented scale changes. millennia is unprecedented. it's only been seen in man's time on the irreversible lot of the changes we're seeing. we just
5:03 pm
can't go back home. they're locked in elements of sea level rise and so forth. and extremes, human in june to climate change is creating these extremes of weather at which create the wildfires. and that's the reason we've been reporting from here. i see a little bit more of that in a 2nd, but 1st it's enough for me. i said, beg, who has more on the latest developments about the report? it's simply picture this year alone has been storms, floods, and wildfires. now, according to scientists, it is unequivocal that humans are largely to blame for warming the ocean's land and sea through our burning of coal, oil, and gas. you've been telling us for over 3 decades of the dangers of allowing the kind of warm the well listen but didn't hear the wellness and but it didn't, us act strongly enough. and as a result, climate change is a problem that is here. now,
5:04 pm
nobody is safe and it's getting worse foster. the 1st you in report issued in 1990 had predicted human caused climate change would become evident at the time it couldn't prove with evidence that it was happening. that's now changed on nearly every measurement. our climate is more extreme and is set to get worse, causing climate change and making extreme weather events more frequent and severe. second, it shows that climate change is affecting every region on our planet. and lastly, it's place that strong, rapid sustain reductions in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions would be required to limit global warming. right now, it's some of the world's poorest countries that feeling the effect, but they contribute less to greenhouse gases. there is hopeful, if the biggest emitter, the able to commit to and delivers sharp reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. we
5:05 pm
may see some positive changes, but it would happen within the next 20 years. the covered 1900 pandemic, briefly reduced air pollution. but it did not hold to climate change. the damage it seems, is already done. some issues like greenland glaciers, melting and fi levels rising, irreversible and nest as dramatic change in human behavior. the world should expect an unsettled an uncertain future. i said bake. i'll deserve. there is hope there is time to bring it back from the brink, but that may feel like it's too late for the residents of color. moth is one of the places here in the region. there was head incredibly badly by the fire, as you can see, it must still standing there relatively unscathed and also another building. but it was surrounded by 20 or 30 houses there and they will be just reduced to rubble. and it's more like an earthquake zone here, and you can see the burns out trees in the fields beyond farmers fields just devastated. beyond that, the fire didn't reach, still intact. and that's the kind of delineation between, you know, at the end of
5:06 pm
a livelihood likelihood, still existing. so now all eyes their own glasgow and the un climate conference will take place that in november. it is hope that this reports will give negotiation some test to get things done. nick class, thank you very much for your comprehensive coverage. nick clark, our environment editor. and richard allen is the author of chapter 8 of the i pay ccs report on water cycle changes. he says urgent action is needed to prevent the situation from getting even worse. so it's a comprehensive assessment of the science of climate change. and it paints a pretty bleak picture in terms of what's already happening as, as you've been showing with the wildfires, but also extreme events happening across the world hates in north america and southern europe and turkey and, but also extreme rainfall an associated flooding like we've seen in iran,
5:07 pm
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. 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 arctic sea ice and things like that. some aspects are going to be irreversible and these are the, the very slow parts of the climate system. so for example, it takes hundreds of years to fully heat heat up the d, potions, and i expand as they get warmer. it takes hundreds of years to melt the really large ice sheets, but also contribute to sea level rise. so we're committed to arise in sea level over the very long period, hundreds of years. we commit to this, but we can still limits the size of it by limiting the amount of warming. the
5:08 pm
science is clear and this physical science report gives the policymakers the tools to make decisions on climate change. and a distinct part of this report is it's involved. but the law stages, the sprint finish or the last few weeks which i was involved in 195 countries and the government delegates have been approving line by line. so they 14 to the science, they understand what it is, and it's up to the policymakers, for example, at the top $26.00 in glasgow coming up in november to then commit country by country to strong rapid and sustained cuts and c o 2 and other greenhouse gases the limits warming to one below 2 degrees c of warming or even 1.5. we have warming at least 4 huge pfizer burning out of control in grace flames. on the island of via having gulf 5 more villages. more than 2000 people have been rescued since last week. fairies as standing by to take more people to safety zane as robbie has the
5:09 pm
latest from the great islands. we can't even say the whole country of the northern part of every island were in one of the most northern point of every island. one of the most heavily devastated part of this all in one of the most heavily devastated part of grief on this wildfire sees in the forest fires. here have been particularly intense. and that is because this is a very wooded, very dense floor, is a very heavily forested part of the country for the files that have been oblique. here have been particularly intense and particularly dramatic and very, very difficult to contain, where we are now. if inside the hill country, we've come through hills and valleys driven here, a great distance to come to this point and the conditions are such that the smoke has made it very dangerous and go fly helicopters and airplanes. going to draw
5:10 pm
water to try to put up these fires. what we're seeing now is the fires continue to spread their continuing somewhat out of control. it has been left to the ground truth here, who tries to manage and put out the fire. here in the hills and valleys right now, it is a fight for one hill, one valley, one town. it's about saving as much. space is possible. one town, one hill, one valley at a time. but fire road that we've met, that we've seen operating or not trying to put out the form that is a near impossible task. all they're trying to do is contain them to a small area. it's possible they're doing so by trying to clear cut as much of the forest around these fires as they can to try to make sure that the fight as a continuous small an area is possible so that they burn out as quickly as possible . but one of the team leaders that we spoke to said that they are doing the best that they can,
5:11 pm
but they feel right now that they are losing the fight. extreme paid and dry wayne's of fueling. several wildfires around the world in california. the circle. dixie blaze is now the 2nd largest in the history. it's one of 11 wildfires. devastating the state, at least 8 people are now missing. as firefighters struggled 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 hunts. climate scientists say recent deadly floods in europe are an example of extreme weather patterns caused by global warming. for many in the affected areas of floods came as a complete surprise. step vast and reports from one of the many german towns still cleaning up lots game as a completed tries to 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
5:12 pm
a wall of water, 12 meters high. remarkably, every one 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 there were 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,
5:13 pm
i did, it didn't make it, and i'm not sure if they were found. now the 1st shock has faded and much of the mob has been cleared by thousands of fallen ts. questions remain. why were these people not want any sooner and will be slots that were predicted to happen only once in a century? now happen more frequently across the border 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. a prettier one, not to miss all the. 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, but it's banks and flooded positively. ash province, including hundreds of municipalities. there was also damage on the dutch side of the board in the town of falcon would estimate the cost could reach billions of
5:14 pm
dollars while the water has receded. the images of the sudden, deathly flats will remain with people forever, some expert, se building better protection measures won't be enough in the future, and more steps need to be taken to prevent temperatures rising on need them can people feel safe, again, steadfast and al jazeera, from but knowing in germany still ahead on al jazeera, find out why the bell of russian president is telling me you came to choke itself a year after he's disputed election victory and canada welcomes vaccinated american citizens back across the border. for the 1st time since 2020 ah ah. hello,
5:15 pm

5:16 pm
and really for that se core door of china still dealing with drenching rain and same goes for the philippines. so we have concern over the american river. we'll watch that carefully in the days to come. that's it for me, sees him the talk to al jazeera, we'll roll. did you want the un to take and who stopped you? we listen. you see the whole infrastructure in guys being totally destroyed. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sierra. ah, shoot a some of the documentary films across the network on al jazeera. oh,
5:17 pm
a hello, you're watching 0. i'm emily. and when a reminder about top stories, imagine you, you in climate report has issued a code red warning, the future of humanity, pacey, changes the climate are inevitable, and irreversible. the report will help set the time for an international climate conference in glasgow. and at least 4 huge 5 burning out of control in grey's flames. on the islands of via have engulfed 5 more villages. more than 2000 people have been rescued. last week, afghan government forces of fighting to retake several cities which were captured by the taliban at the weekend. the group says it's taking control of 6 provincial

5:23 pm
not only the u. k. involved in sanctions, the europe pin duty, and how to have a raft of meshes. although the ra, a thought to be loopholes in this, the united states also imposed sanctions. they will be announcing further measures later on monday, in the farm as a back on the strength of new jelly in protest against the laws. and i say will hum their livelihoods, but only $200.00 being allowed together outside parliament, families say the lowest favor, large private retailers. have me, michel has more from new delhi. for the last few weeks, pharma had been holding a piece and highly bonnet in the form of mock over the way from in just actual thought which isn't in session, you may actually parliament procedure protest having debated the farm law

5:27 pm
september the 7th. we should be very clear there. this is always in a symmetrical relationship. during the pandemic, canada shops all of its borders to international travel to nom citizen, so not a central travel by and on citizens. let's see. and now that's all been lifted and out us travelers can, can, can travel to canada by any of those means. the u. s didn't actually do that versus from a liberal in its policy, canadians could still fly into the us, but on the central travel throughout the pandemic, so that they say which is already been that mexico is reporting its biggest number of corona virus cases. since the pandemic began, the delta varying is fueling the surge, which is heating younger people, had a quarter of mexico, was on the highest level of alert, which requires some non essential businesses to close. since the beginning of the pandemic, the united states have been turning back, migrants to cross into the us illegally without giving them
5:28 pm
a chance to ask for asylum. many have been dropped over the border into cities in northern mexico, which are in the grip of organized crime. hundreds and our camp john and one of the worst hit areas. reynosa. john holman, has moved a migrant camp out in the open in one of the most dangerous cities in mexico. this is very no sir. it's known across mexico is a black hole where several criminal groups bustling and even new struggles to get out. it's one of the places where us authorities ascending but people that they've caught trying to get across the border. and joe say more arrive every day. when i'm also in the day we are ok, but when the night comes, it's terrifying. reynosa is very dangerous. we've heard shoot out ramos's into years violence. just a month ago, a group of our men drove down the town streets, randomly killing bystanders. farina was actually kidnapped in a nearby town. my son, nathaniel lessen. yes. i have the scars a lady burnt me,
5:29 pm
but i didn't tell the police. i just healed myself the best i could. i was held for more than a month and a half. there are more stories like the come as well as those years sent back across the bridge, the rule. so those who are trying to cross for the 1st time through the front door as asylum seekers. green told us that its inhabitants have got organized. now men get together and around 40 of them pro the perimeter each night. conditions a tough basic needs. a hard to me, toby, the constant threat. i'm food mostly comes from the nation. the numbers are fluid with around 600 people that currently. and joseph government authorities are trying to relocate them into shelters and made up the home language, migrants who is be a target. unfortunately, they are one of the vulnerable people that don't have an address or own the problem
5:30 pm
is that as soon as authorities and civil society groups move people into an available space more arrived either through mexico or across the bridge from the state. your home and i would say to mexico, ah, era and these are the top stories, a major new you in climate report has issued a code word warning for the future of humanity. the p. c. c says changes to the climate are inevitable and irreversible. however, it also says immediate rapid and logical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions could limit warming.
