7:00 pm
please, my name is just one of the prizes. my name is ware renewals, my nigerian on al jazeera ah, a code red for humanity, landmark un report issues, a warning on how human activity is causing irreversible heating to our planet. i'm seeing but in the north tip of abbey island increase were wildfires that have been raging for a week. are still burning. ah, i'm hasn't seeking this. is it alive from the also coming up?
7:01 pm
6 afghan provincial capital for, for the taliban, as the arm group pushes deeper into urban areas, shelter but little safety. why? why them seek is sent back by the u. s. easy pray for mexico's drug game? ah, follow the us climate is changing in ways that are unprecedented and in some cases irreversible. that is the warnings and the world's leading authority on climate science. our environment editor nick clark has this report on the us study from my nap gap in turkey, where wildfires have cause widespread destruction. it is a bleak picture. this year alone has seen storms, floods, and wildfires. now, according to sciences, it is unequivocal. the humans are largely to blame for warming the ocean's land,
7:02 pm
an atmosphere, drop any of coal, oil, and gas. you've been telling us over 3 decades of the dangers of allowing the kind of warm the world listen, but didn't hear the wellness in. but it didn't, us 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 about his being repeatedly demonstrated by the reporting that we've been doing here in turkey and engraved on the devastating welfare of swept across southern europe. now these, well us do happen every year, but it is the scale of them and the intensity of them that has taken everybody by surprise this year and that look set to continue. the 1st you and report issued in 1990, had predicted human cause. climate change would become evidence at the time it couldn't prove with evidence that it was happening. that's now changed or nearly every
7:03 pm
measurement or climate is more extreme. and it's set to get was 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, it displays 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 poor countries of the feeling, the effects that they contribute less to greenhouse gases. there is hope that if the biggest admits is, are able to commit to deliver sharp reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, we may see some positive changes. but it would have to happen within the next 20 years. ok with 1900100 demik. briefly reduced air pollution but it did not hold climate change. the damage it seems already done. some issues like greenland,
7:04 pm
glassy is melting and sea levels rising, irreversible. and unless, as a dramatic change in human behavior, the world should expect an unsettled an uncertain future. nick log al jazeera, southern turkey. richard allen is the author of chapter 8 of the i. p. c's report on water cycle changes. he says urgent action is needed to prevent the situation from getting even worse is 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 he's been showing with the wildfires, but also extreme events happening across the world heats in north america and southern europe and turkey and, but also extreme rainfall an associated flooding 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
7:05 pm
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, 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 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're committed to this, but we can still limits the size of it by limiting the amount of warming. the science is clear in this physical science report gives the policymakers the tools
7:06 pm
to make decisions on climate change. and a distinct part of this report is it's involved the last stages, the sprint finish or the last few weeks, which i was involved in $195.00 countries. and 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 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 to limits warming to below 2 degrees c of warming or even 1.5, she has warming. at least 4 huge fires are burning out of control in greece. flames on the islands of having gulf 5 more villages. more than 2000 people have been rescued since last week, ferries are standing by to take more people to safety. same bas robbie has the latest from the greek island of evian. we call deep inside the whole country of
7:07 pm
the northern part of every island when 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 parts of grief on this wildfire season. the forest fires here have been particularly intense, and that is because this is a very wooded very then for is a very heavily forested part of the country for the fire that have been ablaze here have been particularly intense and particularly dramatic and very, very difficult to contain where we are now. 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 difficult for fly helicopters an airplane is going to draw water to try to put up these fires. what we're seeing now is that the fires
7:08 pm
continue to spread their continuing somewhat out of control. it has been left to the ground crew here to try 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 faith as possible. one town, one hill, one valley at a time. but fire rescue 3 that we've met and 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 as 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 fire 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, but they feel right now that they are losing the fight. i stream hates and dry

winds of fueling several wildfires around the world in california. the so called dixie fire is now the 2nd largest in the states history. it is one of 10 wildfires, devastating the state at least 8 people and now missing as firefly to struggle to contain the widespread flames authorities estimate they will not be fully distinguished, extinguished for 2 more weeks. the thousands of people have been forced to abandon their homes. john henderson is in a town in california that has been wiped out by the fires. i mean the town of greenville, which was destroyed a few days ago by the dixie fire. that is the largest fire in the united states, but it's only one of more than a $115.00 different states. 10 fires here in california alone. and that's more than is ever happened in the past last year. 2020 set a record with wildfires. we've already exceeded the 2020 number and this is the
7:10 pm
result here. you can see that used to be a bank. it is now completely destroyed like much of the town. and if you just follow the line here, you can see these buildings have all been destroyed. there is a jail over here that is a century old hotel, the facade of which remains. and i know it's hard to see all this because there is so much smoke and that's part of the problem. i grew up 4 hours away in the san francisco bay area in a town called palo alto. and i don't ever remember seeing wild fire smoke when i was growing up, but now this smoke has reached there about 4 hours away. its cause dangerous air quality throughout the state. and i was on vacation a couple of weeks ago in utah, which is 2 states over and this smoke was clearly visible over bear lake there. so it's really a dramatic,
7:11 pm
you could see this is almost apocalyptic. seeing this hand was wiped out, firefighters were trying to hold the line, and the fire jumped across the road and just wiped out this town, and it's now threatening other towns. a climate scientists say recent deadly floods in europe are an example of extreme weather. patents caused by global warming for many in the affected areas, the floods came as a complete surprise. step faster, a force from one of the many german towns still cleaning up lots game as a complete surprise to many on highway 265 in germany. people were returning home from work, but need a town of f start in north reiner failure. it was suddenly confronted with 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,
7:12 pm
in nearby towns and villages along the river are there was also shocked at the sudden rise in water levels. and were tragic consequences in syncing 12 residence in the 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 may please take o markets in the historic wine town of our while with dozens of people died. he tells us of a man who lost both. his parents told me the image of the woman been swept away, waving her hand crying for help. you know, i have to it and it didn't. 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 tears. questions remained. why were these people not want any sooner and well, these lots that was
7:13 pm
a victor to happen only once. and essentially no happened more frequently across the board or in belgium where at least 40 people died. a criminal investigation has begun to find out who is responsible for a failure in the warning system. a prettier one, that to them is all on the. we have nothing left to know 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 of the dutch side of the border in the town of falcon berg would estimate the cost would reach billions of dollars while the water has receded. the images of the southern definitely floods 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. only then can people feel safe,
7:14 pm
again, steadfast and elses, who are from but knowing in germany, a still ahead on edge, renewed push from india's pharmacy, fresh as a government over law as they threatened their lives. and find out why the bell russian president is telling the u. k. to choke itself to his disputed election victory. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello, thank you for tuning in. here's an update on the southwest monsoon. the good news is we're starting to lose those weather alerts for rochester, mazda pradesh is that concentrate rein shoves further toward the east. but if it be there as well, for the west coast of india, the rainbow still be falling, just not at the same intensity. and areas of sure lanka over the past 24 hours have
7:15 pm
picked up more than a 100 millimeters of rain. really, the bulk of the energy is shoving toward the himalayas, but a pretty good run of rain through bungler dash on tuesday. ok, next, stop or go into his pacific and we're tracking the leftovers of what was tropical storm loop. it. it is impacting hoko and the wrap around winds will be felt in tokyo show that in a sec, but also a pretty solid band of rain across the korean peninsula. promise we would talk about the winds. so here they are for tokyo. got seen to 85 on tuesday, they back off on wednesday. and you know, the name of the game, right? they pick rate back up for thursday, for southern areas around indo china. heavy rain towards the north and south 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 back carefully in the days to come. that's it for me. season sponsor,

7:17 pm
a code red warning for the future of humanity. the i p. c. c says changes to the climate are inevitable and irreversible. the report will help set the tone for an international climate conference in glasgow later this year. at least 4 huge fines of burning out of control in greece. flames on the island of via having gulf 5 more villages. more than 2000 people have been rescued since last week. another provincial capital has fallen to the taliban in afghanistan. that's i black, the capital of some again in the north. the region small here in red sho provincial capital's confirmed to have fallen to the taliban. they also includes the ranch in nimrod province and condos, the regions in grey. only the taliban is claiming to have taken those provincial capitals or the afghan interior minister says government forces have pushed back

7:25 pm
potash and petroleum products. furthermore the asian industry of bella, luce will be boycotted effectively and the know will be no over flying. the u. k, the president fleets of luxury jets will be service. now this all of course is set for the british to be because of the fraudulent election. exactly. a year ago when 35000 opposition protest as were arrested, and 600 activists remain in jail. so many went overseas at the bordering states, around a bell, ruth, and have been victimized by the whole western leadership feel that the victimization of these activists is completely wrong. not only the u. k. involved in sanctions, the europe in union had to have a raft of meshes,
7:26 pm
although the ra, a thought to be loopholes in this candidate has started letting us citizens cross its borders. once again, the rules which benz non essential travel across the land border were lifted earlier on monday. travelers need to be fully vaccinated against covered 1900 present, a recent negative test before entering canada restrictions on canadian canadians entering the u. s. though, remain, she returns, he reports from detroit white across the border from the canadian city of windsor. we can all be a 1800 kilometer border also into connect to the such integration between the communities. having said that, as you can see, this is traditionally the 2nd busiest crossing crossing between the us and canada. and that's how the huge rush on right now. the volume profit volume is down about 90 percent since the pandemic began even witness relaxation of the rules. canadian
7:27 pm
border officials say they didn't expect that to be any more than maybe a 10 to 25 percent increase, at least today. and then be in the near future from today us citizens who have been vaccinated because it also show proof of a negative cobit test within 72 hours of that crossing all being allowed on the expectation is accounted a will allow in other international businesses in an early september, perhaps, september the 7th. we should be very clear there. this is always an a symmetrical relationship during the pandemic out of the shops, all of its borders to international travel to non citizens. so not a central travel by and on citizens l. c. and now that's all been lifted. so now the u. s. travelers can, can, can travel to canada by any of those means. the us didn't actually do that. the us as far more liberal in its policy, canadians can still fly into the u. s, but all the central tribal throughout the pandemic, so that they say, which is already been that since the beginning of the pandemic,
7:28 pm
the united states has been turning back my going to cross into us territory illegally without giving them the 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 on, i camped out in one of the worst hit areas. reynosa john home has more 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, were several criminal groups of battling, 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 g o say more arrived every day. when i was there 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 and you had years violence. just a month ago, a group of men drove down the town streets,
7:29 pm
randomly killing bystanders. when i was actually kidnapped in a nearby town, my son, nathaniel lessen. yes. i have the scars a lady burned me, 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 dot com as well as those years sent back across the bridge. they're all so those who were trying to cross for the 1st time through the front, the asylum seekers green told us that its inhabitants have got organized. now men get together and around 40 of them patrol the perimeter each night. conditions a tough basic needs a hard to me, toby, the constant threat and food mostly comes from donation the numbers of fluid, but around 600 people that currently. and joe's and government authorities trying to relocate them into shelters and made up online or no migrant who is be
7:30 pm
a target. unfortunately, they are one of the vulnerable groups. people that don't have an address or own the problem 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 just say to mexico, ah, this is ada zeta, and these are the top stories the earth climate is changing in ways that are unprecedented and in some cases irreversible as the warning from the world's leading authority on climate science. but the i p. c. c also says that immediate rapid and large scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions could limit warming. it is indisputable that human causes.
