now too, they must have lost a revel militia, elephant pot, a witness documentary on out to 0. play an important role protecting human face. in the this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm hasn't speaker. this is the news live from coming up in the next 60 minutes. a stop warning by un panel of experts. the effects of climate change are intensifying . and unless we act fast, they will only get worse. signs of those changes already visible from greece to siberia, to the u. s. bias destroying forest and devastating the lives of many

a 6 afghan provincial capital for the taliban. as the arm group pushes deeper into urban areas and canada reopen it border to fully vaccinated. americans, 16 months after closing it, because of the panoramic. kevin ash with the board still no sign of the must be in the french capital, the form up offline, the size reported to be heading for medical with congress. ah. hello, the united nations chief has called it a code red for humanity. the u. s. president says we can't wait any longer to deal with the crisis. leaders in organizations around the world have been reacting to us back report that says the earth climate is changing in ways that are unprecedented . and in some cases irreversible. the un intergovernmental panel on climate change

says, extreme weather, likely to get worse. our environment and it's nick clark has more on the report from my nap get in turkey where wildfires, of course 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 oceans land, an atmosphere throughout the battery of coal, oil and gas. you've been telling us over 3 decades of the dangers of allowing that kind of warm the world listen but didn't hear the wellness and but it didn't us ex 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 in greece on the devastating wafaa that have swept across southern europe. now these well 5 do happen every year, but it is the scale of them and the intensity of them that have taken everybody by surprise this year and that looks set to continue. the 1st you in report issued in 1990, had predicted human cause, 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 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, its 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 poor countries that feeling the effects that they contribute less to greenhouse gases. there is hope that if the biggest emits is, are able to commit to deliver shop reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, we may see some positive changes. but it would have to happen within the next 20 years. okay, with 1900 pounds demik briefly reduced air pollution, but it did not hold climate change damage. it seems already done some issues like greenland, glassy is melting and sea levels rising, irreversible and less as a dramatic change in human behavior. the world should expect an unsettled and uncertain future. nick log al jazeera, southern turkey. oh, extreme heat and dry winds are fueling several wildfires around the world in

california, the so called dixie fi is now the 2nd largest in the state's history. it is one of 11 wildfires, devastating the state at least 8 people are now missing as 55 to struggle to contain the widespread flames authorities. their estimate that they will not be fully extinguished. for 2 more weeks. thousands of people have been forced to abandon their homes. well, john henderson is live in greenville in california force. and john, we can see a little bit of the sick think smoky air behind you just give us a sense of how bad it's been there for people and how they're dealing with it. with the air quality here is actually improved considerably over the course of the day. but this town was simply wiped off the map by the dixie fire. almost nothing is left of it. you can see the remains of what used to be

a bank right over on this side. and if you just sort of follow the road here, you can see that there are several buildings that have been just totally burned down across the street here. that is a century old hotel that had been standing there for some time and is now completely wiped out except for the facade in front. and if you keep looking on it, you can see in the background there are trees that have been burned in the course of this fire. and there's a petrol station as well. and it just goes on and on. there are a few buildings that haven't been destroyed, but this was part of the fire line that firefighters were holding, and the fire left across their line, jumping from tree to tree. and that's how the fire has gotten so big gets grown normally in the past few days, it is now 185000 hector's. and it is the biggest fire going on in

the united states right now. and the way it connects with global warming is that one of the problems in california has been that fine, the ground here has been less moist than it has in the past. and the temperatures have been hotter. and what that means is when a spark hits the ground, it's more likely to set up a wildfire. in this case, specific gas and electric. a local utility says it believes a tree fell on one of its power lines. and that just sparked of fire that went up and his expanded dramatically into a forest north of here. thankfully, no one has been killed in this fire that we know of. there are 5 people missing for firefighters were injured over the course of the weekend. and this is just one of about a 100 fires and 15 states right now. 2020 was a record season for wild fires in the united states in california. and 2021 has already exceeded the 2020 level. so these fires just get bigger and more

devastating, and you can see the results. yeah, pretty bad. situational round for the moment, john henry live for us in greenville california. thanks john. now, at least for huge, pfizer 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 zane bas robbie has the latest from the greek island of evian. we can't even say the whole country of 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 part of grief on this wildfire season. the forest fires here have been particularly intense, and that is because this is a very wooded, very damn floor is

a very heavily forested part of the country for the files that have been oblique. here have been particularly in pen 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. an airplane is going to draw water to try to put up these fires. what we're seeing now is that these fires continue to spread their continuing somewhat out of control. it has been left to the ground through 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. 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 these forms. 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 these fires contain through a small, an area as 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. 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. the floods came as a complete surprise. steadfast reports from one of the many german towns still cleaning up knots 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 reiner 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 and the whole of july and nearby towns and villages along the river are there was also shocked at the southern rise in water levels. and they 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 these horrifying moments 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 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 fall and tears. questions remain. why were these people not want any sooner and will be slots that were predicted to happen only once in a century? no happen 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, 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 part of the province, including hundreds of municipalities. there was also damage on the dutch side of

the board, and the town of falcon would estimate the cost 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 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, again, steadfast and al jazeera from but knowing in germany a richard allen is one of the authors of the un report, 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 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, he 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 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 with the last 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'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 one below 2 degrees c of warming or even 1.5. we have warming. how was plenty more ahead on this, you know, including looking at the risks facing migrant sent back to mexico illegally crossing into the u. s. a renewed push from india's commas to pressure the

government on laws they, they threatened their live nice. i'm b. richardson in cook ashima, finding out if it's ho carol infix lift up for being the recovery games for this region. me tyler bond has taken more territory in recent weeks than it did at any time since it fell from power 20 years ago. it may a controlled about 20 percent of afghanistan, but as the u. s. and other foreign troops withdraw. taliban has been ramping up its attacks and has made sweeping gains in the past week is taking the provincial capitals of condos, pollock on saudi pool ship. they're gone, zuraw lunch and now i buck. fighting to control hair at kandahar and helmand continues. is a critical test for the afghan government is taller bon advances and surrounds the

capital cobble. the afghan interior ministry says government forces have pushed back against the taliban in some areas. then they come out the, come, the ha, my go ahead are fortunately the security situation in kandahar nascar guy and tara provinces has improved african security for their petroleum cities. the enemy has suffered heavy losses and their plan to capture the cities has been neutralized on those enemy attacks and condos. shepard again, 7 gun and sorry, 2 provinces are ongoing. one of our correspondent rob mcbride has more from a couple this is the latest victory being claimed by the taliban. the city of i back now, this is the city, that's the capital of simon gun, a fairly small providence in the north of afghanistan. pictures which have been uploaded by the taliban, which is con, independently verify, but they do show fight is being greeted in the streets by towns, people, a streets which we are told him, it's video inside i back now this,

if it's true that this is the 6 provincial a city to be taken in just a few days and it is in this broad sway, the northern afghanistan where we have seen a lot of other fighting and other gains be made by the taliban. like, like back some of those gains are small cities, but it does include, for example, conduce, which is a very big city strategically very important. it is a very significant victory for the taliban that previously they have taken can do about 5 or 6 years ago on 2 separate occasions it's fighters occupied can do more as a symbolic gesture of zone, a very temporary and then day where are the 4000 withdrew and we'll retake him by the government forces. now the government forces base time have pledged to retake many of these areas. it is confirmed that special forces are engaged with taliban inside. couldn't dues, but we are seeing fighting, continuing in the other areas across africa. understand shuffling, come down as a former advisor to nature senior civilian representative in afghanistan. he joins

us live now from washington. d. c, thanks very much for being with us. so let me ask you, 1st of all, how concerned are you about the amount of territory that the tyler bond have taken in afghanistan in recent weeks and how quickly they've done it? actually it is about a big concern, not only the, you know, the size of to, to that they have under their control now. but it's more about the power they have gain the power to, you know, gaining more weapons, much weapons, heavy weapons, long and short distance weapons that they have, like thousands of these arms. and they have gained from, you know, fallen districts and provincial capital to their hands. as we look beyond the weapons, they do control some resources such as custom offices and even ports or borders between me. but in countries. so they sufficient have gain other than territory

political gain of financial and i would say equipped invalid that's very considering not only for the african people and going to set, but also for the neighboring countries on the sun such as the sun was because you don because they have also started some joint, you know, exercise like russia and simulation. countries alongside the border between them. they have lunch to joined the building. the taliban are still of insecurity to countries. but the, the afghan forces for their part by, by many accounts have, has not performed well in their efforts to beat back the taller bond have they, they've been many reports of large retreats and in some cases, forces deserted their posts completely. so that doesn't bode well for the future, does it?

i think the african forces they do have this morrow. they do have this commitment as well as the i would say the city to fight. but unfortunately they receive conflicting and confusing messages. a believe to show the, you know, of course, permit them to me use the number one in charge of the african military forces. he does not have any such expedients, you know, leading force of the enduring war. or he, you know, does not have this willingness townley to negotiate on both sides. that troops are confused. they received mixed messages from the prison on a sunday, and then from the political leaders, local leaders in public brokers. but they controlled them most of the time. the primary reason that they even have to leave their post this or they have to compromise. you probably have heard the 1st one doesn't lead his own to position with one of the power brokers and

a member of the parliament. the individual was commanding the african national security forces to surround, to tunnel the lack of political leadership seen here of the president, to control this home and massive forces and the primary and main diesel folks here . and i would say the chaos can be going on in the country. that's 2 ways. looking, looking at this though, isn't there, there's, there's one school of thought that says, this is exactly why the us led forces need to stay in afghanistan to, to, to protect the afghan people and, and to help the afghan forces there. but then there's another school of thought that says that supports the withdrawal of, of those forces. because they will say, you know, they've been there 20 years. and you know, if this is, if this is what the afghan force looks like after 20 years of, of assistance of training and weapons and so on. what's the point in staying any

longer? how would you address that 2nd? you then look and we all know why because of the war unfettered or google water and africans are victim of this watts on both sides. if it's international troops or the tourist and up on this is responsibility of the national community, intervene and support and prevent catastrophe. a human crisis, i strongly believe that we're speaking, there's one crimes committed enough on the phone as well as, you know, crimes against humanity. so the responsibility of the united states in the united nation is to intervene. of course, you know, that should have been enough on us for 20 years. but think about you, the united states has been better than you to, you know, the strongest economy and powerful countries. you know, countries with nuclear powers and permanency to, to, to, to cause the united states have been there for more than 5 to 6 and not between

north and south korea. the united states have been in touch for many tickets. so it's not a dr. russian security forces a week, but it's the requirements the need. it's the, you know, i would say the demand of the region is such that mike, other country, the united states have it's force and it's prism. it requires us as well because if my mother understand anymore, it is an international and regional trade and hopefully it never happens again. but i'm afraid if i'm on a solid list, but these 20 tourists groups were operating between the borders of upon a southern becker sent if taliban takeover and given them. and then there is a feed the you know, even so attacks that never can happen. and the catch is good to get your thoughts on this. sasha fig handle that johnny stare from washington. thanks for being with us. thank you for having me. hi lisa 51 civilians have been killed

in attacks by an arm group in northern molly that's according to the army. it happened in villages near the border with news yet more on this from the dress in boucher nigeria. the 51 dead is provisional trigger or the army saying that many people who are injured unspecified number of people who are injured and that civilians have been evacuated from the 3 villages as a by just walk as i've been called into re settled them in temporary shelter for now, families have also been asking security forces for secure to protection so that they can pick up and bury their dead at that's the situation in that location right now. but these areas have seen numerous attacks as the start of this. yeah. and the thing seems to be getting worse and worse and worse. now what we understand is that the security forces, i've also deployed large numbers in the area, trying to conduct coordinate site operations in those areas to find out if there

are any fighter or any fighters looking in in those areas. we were assured that by you might just walk us, but they will try to update us on the situation in those areas. but they also expect that the number of debt could rise beyond 51 offense, the beginning of the pandemic. the u. s. has been turning back migrants who cross into his territory illegally. many have been dropped across the southern border into cities in northern mexico, which are in the grip of organized crime. hundreds and now camped out in one of the worst areas. reynosa john home and has 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 you say more arrived every day.

when i was 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, randomly killing bystanders. when i was actually kidnapped in a nearby town. my son nathan will lessen. yes, i have the scars a lady burnt 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 are 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 around 40 of them petrol, the perimeter each night conditions a tough basic need to hard to me. koby the constant threat.

and food mostly comes from donation. the numbers of fluid with around 600 people that currently and joe's and government authorities are trying to relocate them into shelters and made up online or no migrant who is be a target. unfortunately, they are one of the vulnerable groups. people who 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 say to mexico, or combat thing. covey and climate change are emerging as to the dominant issues in the german general election. although september's vote is still more than 6 weeks away, 2 of the main parties, i've just launched their campaigns promising a different agenda to that of the grand coalition. that is governed for the past

a year's dominant cain report from berlin. the election season has come around again. soon, it will be time to replace angular medical and her government. and alina bell book believes she should be germany's 1st green chancellor at the launch of her party's campaign. on monday she explained why voters should choose her posture by these or via gators. this selection is really about something. it's about l future. the future doesn't just happen, the future gets made. and that's what we're running for. on september, the 26 cats making done, but these are testing times for that book. just a few months ago, she and her party were riding high in the polls. now both numbers are down and she is being scrutinized as never before. she's been accused of committing plagiarism in parts of this book that she wrote earlier this year. she has admitted making

mistakes when compiling this work, christine, democrat, counterpart, unless it has also to admit and apologize for doing something similar in this book that he wrote more than 10 years ago. his poll ratings to have suffered as a consequence, as have those of his party. a glance at the latest poll shows how the c, d, u. c. s you are in the lead on 26 percent, some way below their performance with angle imaculi's leader 4 years ago vying with each other for 2nd place of the social democrats and the greens on 18 percent. the center, right, free democrats have 12 percent with the far right, a f d one point behind for them to monday was campaign launched day in 2017 and anti islam m t migration message one, the more than 90 seats in parliament. this time around that campaigning against the current coven.
