6:30 pm
ah, hello hope your weekend is going well. here's the weather straight across the middle east. forget it's africa, one sec. hang tight our temperatures pretty well where they should be, but some spots we popped above the average that includes 4 aleppo, but elsewhere across the levant. again, pretty well where we would expect to be for this kind of the year, some big ways along the array b and c. so that's going to swell up some sand and does for a huge swath of oman. here's the situation across pakistan. ours mon sooner moisture is starting to creep back in again for northern area. so at times we will see bursts of rain, but not everyone is going to catch a storm here. across turkey, it is largely settled. we do have some breezy conditions coming down the boss for us. so that's going to impact is stumble with a high of 29 degrees right through the eastern med look at this nicko see up to 40 degrees as far as storms across the tropics of africa. i think our biggest threats here will be easy to be in high land, south sudan,
6:31 pm
and as we head into chad on sunday. and if we go further south, we will find binding. so sunshine for places like bill a whale $29.00 degrees will be the high for you. hyper roney getting up to 30, which is wall above average, cape town, the western cape in the eastern cape, looking quite sure whether soon the news or job. yes for you in to need so not so much or the yeah, that might be, you know, i got a really diverse culture explored to music and songs of the city and al jazeera, ah, they wanted 43000000 pounds worth of weaponry. that was 6000000 pounds
6:32 pm
in commission. ah, there's no hope of any more because there's always a small car. most people for really, really good live in athens. we in the united states have privatize the ultimate public function war shadow on al jazeera. ah ah, what you might have our top story, this tens of thousands of people are still trying to get out of afghanistan. 6 days after the taliban took control in the press briefing in the past how far the
6:33 pm
pentagon spokesman says the top priority for the united states is to continue to get as many citizens as possible. as the taliban co founder, those lives the cow bowl, the organization tells you 081 sent inclusive governments. but there's no deadline . when the economy bought a lead to go see ations in doha, but a desperate things in haiti is adequate. victims fights for age. the government is facing growing criticism that is struggling to get supplies to thousands who were injured left homeless. for the 1st time in recorded history, rain has fallen at the summit of greenland ice sheet. scientists say it's another sign of how the climate change is affecting the ice cap that's already melting quickly. last month, another sol warmed enough ice in one day to cover the u. s. state of florida in 5 centimeters of water. that station was erected in 1989, and so in
6:34 pm
a staff during the summer time and no one there had seen rain until until this past week we have atmospheric data. you know that kind of we can infer conditions and that indicates no rain rain since those records begin in 1950. so it's a, in our records, it's a unique situation whether only 2 ice sheets on earth and one is in greenland covers a name about 1700000 square kilometers and it's the plaster plan. it's 2nd largest ice mass and along with the antarctic contains for the 99 percent of us fresh water ice. but greenland ice is melting foster. at any time. in the last 12000 years, temperatures in the arctics region have risen by almost 2 degrees celsius. so far as the planet overheats, scientists predict that if all agreements ice melts, global sea levels will rise by 7.2 meters. will own gafney is global sustainability
6:35 pm
analyst of the stock home resilience center, and course of breaking boundaries, the science behind our planet. he's joining us now from stock home. it's good to have with us on our to 0. i was reading the back in 2019 you course are denali called that listed 9 tipping points of which greenland and the ice caught the ice sheet. there was one which would have indicated big changes to the ass ecosystem. have those tipping points changed, or we passed the point where they're not relevant. so the point of that article and was in the last few decades, scientists identified perhaps 15 or 16 tipping points in the system like like as you say, greenland or the amazon or antarctica, or the atlantic circulation. and but 101015 years ago the scientific community was saying what the risk of crossing tipping points was probably much later in the century if we keep on emitting greenhouse gases,
6:36 pm
that the rates we are. and there was, there was a very low risk of, of crossing tipping points, you know, now, or in the next decade or so. and what we did in that analysis in 2019 was to go back to those 16. so tipping points and actually identify what's happening with the data on the ground right now in those places. and what we found out with 9 of them there undergoing unprecedented changes, you know, the data flooding back from, from greenland, from west antarctic ice sheet from the atlantic, from the boil force from korea. it is showing that they are undergoing unprecedented changes, which we can't say for certain they're going at tipping points right now, but it's certainly assigned for concern. and certainly there's a growing consensus that were much closer to tipping points than we thought. and in some cases with, with, with some of them greenland twist center to get the emerson that we may be at that those tipping points right now. is it just that the, the,
6:37 pm
the process of climate change in the resulting effects is speeding up? or is it actually becoming more fragmented than that? are we seeing a greater impact in a foster time in certain areas? yes, so we don't understand the fully understand the processes. so, you know, the climate models have got many, many things factored into them, but they don't have all, all the factors and to, and particularly with tipping points, is this more uncertainty there. for example, you know, you know how, how an ice sheet fractures, how big chunks of ice actually break off. and if one bit breaks off, how do you know, can that crate sort of cascading impact of more and more cracks, appearing the ice unfolding. and we're only just getting a better handle of how to model that ice fracture and that, that instability. and as we get better at modeling that then we get more concerned cuz it seems that things could change faster than we would thought earlier. part of
6:38 pm
the process. so part of the reason for doing this kind of research, i would imagine is of course to alerts the world to the dangers that it's, it's facing. given that we are now at the stage that we're out that we're seeing greenland, for example, just as an isolated incident being affected. the way it is. now, on this scale, how do you feel that somebody who has repeatedly clearly tried to warn governments on the world about the imminent danger from clyde, from climate change? and yet we are still at the stage where this kind of thing is happening. well. well, for the 1st time, i think even the scientific community is surprised at the consensus. you say 10 years ago with that we probably had more time and now we're getting, getting very, very, very bad. i think i think the message is getting through though to to the public. we did a survey, we publish the results last week and we asked the question on,
6:39 pm
are we approaching tipping points and to see if there's any awareness of that? and when, when we spoke about tipping points, we're talking about large scale, abrupt, or irreversible changes in climate and nature. and 3, in 4 people across g 20 countries, the world's wealthiest economies agreed. they said, yes we, we understand that we are approaching tipping point. so there is wide scale awareness and, and people are very concerned. we also found that, you know, 8083 percent of people, a very concerned or extremely concerned about the state of the planet. so that the message is getting through, i think, but we still, we still haven't seen that translate into the kind of action required to reduce the risk own gafney of the stock on resilience since we appreciate you being with us. and i'll just, you know, thank you very much indeed investigate to say one of italy's most powerful criminal organizations has been dumping phases of tons of toxic waste and its
6:40 pm
allegedly being left in one of the country's most scenic regions from tuscany. adam rainy reports on the edge of a farm and tuscany, environmental police check for toxic run off from a leather tannery water treatment plant. it looks clear now but this officer says until recently this plant with releasing waste into the river basket. the commander shows his footage of the same river. he says it shows having drown, get her one of italy's most powerful criminal organizations allegedly dumped tons of toxic waste from leather plants. and he showed us how they allegedly buried toxic mud under highways across tuscany. a wealthy area of italy considered far removed from historic mafia strongholds in the south, and only indulge in a complex say, it's a complex investigation going on 3 years now. we've charged people with various
6:41 pm
crimes for taking part in a criminal conspiracy. that's aggravated by dealing with the mafia, trafficking, waste and polluting the environment. the police say suspects pocket a tens of millions of euros to clean up the byproducts at italy's leather industry by products that include heavy metals that can cause cancer. we drove by the tannery with mighty or resell who worked in a leather plant for more than 45 years. when i'm interested, i started. pollution has always been common problem is the mud and ash the byproduct from the tannery should be treated and made harmless to use as landfill. they didn't do that. i asked, mattie or fathers pollution was an open secret here to show you when i mean to pollution and cancer, have always been considered a necessary evil. but that's the job. the tannery sit at the top of the food pyramid, its highways like this one that cut across the landscape of wineries and small
6:42 pm
farms where the waste was buried. we're here long and embankment where investigators found toxic waste buried under the highway. they took soil samples and covered a backup with his tarp. police say they've found 10 such sites across tuscany, but they acknowledge there may be dozens of others across the region. since we met with citizens groups who are pushing local officials to give them answers. we have a 1000 tons of dangerous bacteria. we know exactly what it is made off any it's exactly there. so we are really very care mafia expert. renata scalia has repeatedly warned tuscan authorities the baltic. i've been ones for years. we've been raising the alarms, the mafia is here in tuscany, but it falls on deaf ears. the conventional wisdom says we shouldn't raise the issue because i've seen a smearing tuscany on a reputation on a reputation,
6:43 pm
and more importantly, in environment. now in need of being cleaned up adarine, how does your tuscany in iraq, hundreds of children born 2 years in the mothers have to be separated from the other. living as orphans is it is say, children born to isolate fighters cannot be part of their religion. the minority community says the world and their own government on giving enough attention to this suffering a some, a bunch of edge reports from northern iraq. him on the verge, keep her happy. but 20 year old, yet he the survivor went through hiring ordeal. when she was abducted by eisen fighters and bought and sold multiple times before her release. finally shift not, not so dish of to i had. no, i have witnessed it all the violence, the beatings, the rape, and all kinds of embarrassment. death was better than all these kinds of suffering . and they were scared to come back. we were told that our families would never
6:44 pm
accept us despite the fact that everything that has happened to us was by force against our will. and without our consent. many of the girl said the community has refused to accept their children born as a result of rape by ice and fighters. we spoke to multiple women and girls who wouldn't speak a camera about how they had to leave their children. asthma says it was day hard i had to choose between my child for myself or returned to my family and community . after thinking i decided to abandon my child, it was very difficult decision. suzanne suffered, runs a program to rehabilitate these women. and some of the children who returned financial fun, it's a little fun home. honestly, these women hardly have any choice. they only have difficult decisions to make. they can't just decide if they bring their children here. it is hard to deal with the consequences for any mother to bring her children here and try to raise them in the close community. this would have been even much more difficult. hundreds of
6:45 pm
children have been born to women abused by ice and fighters in addition to social pressure. usually these can only carry their religion if both parents are these and according to iraq. you know, if the father is wisdom than the child carries the same religion. the flight of the children doesn't and there many of those who have returned are struggling to reintegrate. this is the day when his family was destroyed. 21 year old shark has edge that on his skin with burning coal and ink. in contrast to the howling wind outside the tent, it is complete silence inside. you see the brother and sister, a meter and a mirror. don't talk much. the children were abducted along with their parents by ice and in 2014. we tried to ask her to talk. amelia says she remembers many things, but she doesn't want to speak english, make them after being kidnapped from iraq, the eventually ended up in turkey. just last year they were united with their older brother and sister. now the cannot speak their mother tongue and enable to join

there's an element of deals that nobody can control. and that is what we have to accept and the best way we can protect ourselves the best way we can look forward to freedom ease by making sure that we get vaccinated. the outbreak in australia has spread to me, bring new zealand that was free of coven 19 for 6 months until tuesday. but it's now under a snap. nationwide locked down. no one wants an extended lockdown, and no one wants to see that right of transmission. so the number one thing everyone can do right now is reduce down your context and ensure you stick to your bubble. like new zealand, vietnam had also avoided the worst of the pandemic. but not any more. 10000000 people in whole human city will be bought from leaving their homes for monday. the government is deploying soldiers to deliver food and aid to people facing the nations office covert 19 restrictions to date. i think what do you mean? the panoramic is getting more and more serious and hold human city. many go 900
