seen, that the rich countries haven't even met their commitments to pay for a $100000000000.00 annual fund for these poor countries. much of their talk is about equality, social justice, and sharing the and sharing the solution with the 4 countries of the world. and although we saw some success at this you for climate conference, which was part of the pre cop leadings, regretted tongue berg was, she met with the time prime minister along with other young activists. they still are worried that all the promises made in the past couple days here milan are really just promises and not put in action that made these very bold proposals, including calling for the elimination of fossil fuels in less than 9 years time. they hope that'll be taken on board. in the canary islands, 2 new volcanic vents have opened 400 meters from the erupt in convey via her on la palmer lava has been flowing into the sea. for the past 3 days, anne has formed a peninsula 20 hacked hair as long as an area bigger than 25 football pitches. joan

a catastrophic event for our economy representatives, the debt ceiling has been raised, were suspended $78.00 times since 1960, almost always on a bipartisan basis. my hope is that we can work together to do so. again, republicans raised the debt sailing 3 times under former president trump, but have bowed against doing the same for president biden valleys. democrats with the task of solving the issue alone, requiring challenging parliamentary maneuvers with no guarantee of succeeding in time. republicans need to get out of the way. so senate democrats can address the issue quickly, and without needlessly endangering the stability of our economy. we can't afford the risk of a drawn out unpredictable process. republicans, though refused to budge. they say it's the democrats problem because they control

is or thriving along with other endangered species like beavers, which had all but disappeared when water levels were critical. the viability of this renewed habitat, however, ultimately depends on a commitment from us and mexican partners to meet the demand for water environmentalist admit that they're simply not enough water for the colorado river to flow freely all the way to the sea. but restoration projects like planting trees and maintaining wetlands like this one are delivering positive results from the regions ecosystems. the reason why the delta dried up dates back to another agreement signed in 1944 back then the u. s. in mexico established exactly how much water each country would receive from the river, and for what purpose? not leaving a drop for the environment. men can say, gabriella says that while it was public policy that led to the loss of a flowing river, it can also be public policy that brings it back to life in this place. like when i

get out there, this project started as a dream and 20 years later it's happening. so i can imagine a flowing river, i can imagine healthier ecosystems. and i can imagine the river meeting with the ocean once again from may to october of this year. more than 43000000000 cubic meters of water will flow into the colorado delta ensure, at least for now, the continued health of this natural environment. manuel did up a low al jazeera, the colorado river delta. ah, this is al jazeera, these, the top stories, australia will begin lifting it strikes photo restrictions from november will allow fully vaccinated citizens and residents have been stranded overseas to return home . and australians will be able to travel abroad again. sarah clark has moved from the gulf coast.
