well, we are very concerned because we are going to find many guts and that education, for example, a stay late and 1st grade. when the pandemic began, they have already passed a 2nd or 3rd. and maybe they don't know how to read. official figures said the virus is killed, less than 5000 people in venezuela and infected 400000. however, many health experts dispute, those numbers, as well as the government claim that it is vaccinated, 80 percent of teachers. the welcome returned to school in venezuela is proving to be fraught with difficulties with the coven, 19 pandemic, highlighting and exacerbating many of the problems the country's education system was already facing. ah schindler, al jazeera ah, i talk richard of the headlines here on al jazeera,

the u. s. is suspending $700000000.00, an aide to sedan in response to the military coup. at least 7 protesters are reported, have been killed. the military has dissolved the transitional, government, arrested ministers, and declared a state of emergency. we are evaluating the situation on the ground. we are watching very closely. we are communicating and coordinating very closely with our allies and with our partners around the world at so i don't want to get ahead of where we are. ah, but suffice to say that we are willing to resort to any and all appropriate measures to hold accountable are those who are me be attempting to derail, ah, the will, the aspirations of the sudanese people and those who may be responsible for violence. southeast asian leaders on meeting virtually for the annual assay on summit. it's being hosted by brunei, the magenta has refused to send a civilian representative. after its military leader was excluded. people in haiti

have held a general strike to protest against the worsening security situation there. hundreds of people have been kidnapped by gangs this year. that includes a group of us and canadian missionaries are abducted just over a week ago. but you and says the world is way off track to cap rising temperatures . greenhouse gas levels hit new records last year. carbon dioxide levels are rising at a higher average rate than they've been over the past decade. a target for rich countries to provide poor nations with a $100000000000.00 every year to tackle global warming has been missed. a progress report has been compiled ahead of you in climate talks in glasgow, ex model. and amnesty international, closing its offices in hong kong by the end of the year. the group says a national security law imposed by beijing makes it impossible for employees to work without fear of reprisal. law has been used to target pro democracy protesters . so those are the headlines. the news continue is here now to 0 after planet s o s

. station. thanks for watching bye for now. well as experiencing unprecedented extreme weather record temperature is being set. glassy is an i t for deteriorating . busy false, remember the quote running down world lead is amazing. laws go in the u. k. in a bit of fresh out a deal to slash emission reports to late follow the you and climate summit on al jazeera. hello, welcome to this special episode of planet s o s were here in ebay and greece scene of those devastating wildfires in the summer. ah, what was a catastrophic yearly stream where the world wide we look ahead to comp 26 that crucial you and climate summit and gloves going scotland is taking place next week . and from here in greece will be traveling to the ca fabian,

mountains and remain yet oh, to hear the cooler, the wild, largest area of virgin forest in europe under salt from illegal loggers, and saving the sturgeon how in ancient fashion, struggling to survive alongside george's ambitious hydro electricity projects, the young polish activists hoping to protect the future. he doesn't feel this, this sense of the world just being destroyed that i see every day when i wake up and testing the air flying high up the crack off in poland in one of the most polluted regions of you. ah, and the 1st typically you in climate summers do not attract the attention of the world at large. but this one has and primarily it's because of the extreme weather events we've been seeing this year. let's take a look this summer alone in the u. s. death valley, so the highest temperature ever recorded on us flooding in germany in belgium,

killed more than 200 people. more flooding in china with passengers trapped on subway trains. and wild fans raged in the us, canada and siberia. in europe, record heat waves calls widespread fires across turkey and greece. and here in area the still picking up the pieces. in early august with temperatures at m. c, eyes, wildfire ripped across southern europe. the land was parched and the fires quickly spread, nor the levia in greece was a hottest hit. inferno lost for 2 weeks, thousands were evacuated. today you can see what's left in the devastation in this area was total. people are well used to annual wildfires here, but not on this scale. not with this much last thousands of hector's of forest and livelihoods just incinerated. and because of the fires a new threat,

as the rain comes so do floods and months, lights the flies of destroy the land, natural ability to withhold water, to act as a flood defense system. so now in periods of intense rain, thought it is cascades offerings, hillsides so that using the dead trees, the shore of the soil, and keep the land in these hard exhausting work, but vital to preserve what's left and encouraged. regeneration of the forest. a net that is able to guide again about a there you were trying to keep the soil in place as we don't want it to be carried away by heavy rainfall because their natural regeneration cannot take place. they slowly be carried into the creeks and that will create a huge problem causing flooding. hm. yeah. by community, isn't it? a big part of evy as far as the economy has been obliterated. cost as i own you as livelihood comes from his bees who make honey from the resin of pine trees or used

to cost a shows me what's left of the dozens of hives. he lost to the fires against the mirror. he had them alicia nevo. i feel sad that this once green forest has been burnt, and i find it difficult to figure out what we'll do and how be keeping can continue to exist on ebay. what we will not be around when this forest is once again able to give us honey. so for us, our area has died. collecting pine reson was an important money owner for farmers like george yos agnostic, but not any more. he also lost a fit of his goat, her to the fires. across the island, more animals died than survived. either political or service rather got as much traffic on the destruction was great for farmers. buildings were burnt, animals were lost, and grazing. land has disappeared. in other words, what we had here was last many years to go by so that things can return to how they

were from last livelihoods to ruined homes. all this is the reality of a warming world. natural weather events made worse by climate change. city when you come inside that you get a sense realization just how fast it must have been it living normally one band and the very next it's oldest torch than collapse around you. everywhere you look as evidence of a life once lived to folk. is it? oh to night, hannah odom and that pretty. we just sat on shells, an old book, artist. ah, this has been a seismic event that has changed lives perhaps for a generation, but the forest will come back because nature always does. if humanity allows it to

save, helping people adapt to and mitigate against extreme weather events that cause damage light. this is a big part of the you and climate summit and glasgow next week. so what does success at comp $26.00 looked like? well remember, the science says we need to prevent temperatures from rising beyond ideally one and a half degrees celsius. but the 2021 production got report out last week shows current government plans will produce more than double the amounts of fossil fuels required to make that happen. so in glasgow, we need a strong declaration that commit to net 0 emissions by 2050, as well as big reductions by 2030. developing nations were once a considerable financial package to help them adapt. and that needs to be ambitious commitment to phasing out cole and protecting forests, editing shorts and cop $26.00 will be deemed a failure. and then who knows what lies in store.

so a major focus at 20 sakes will be an attempt to set goals to end deforestation for us, of course, a crucial for the health of the planet. and we've come here to the co pay the mountains in romania, which is home to $1.00 of the largest remnants of virgin forest and europe, which is also under devastating insult from illegal looking autumn carpets the hillsides, the multi hued canopy mocking the seasonal change of millennia ancient original forests sweeping across the copy, the mountains in eastern europe. it's been here since the ice age, a mosaic of habitat rich in life and sheer natural valley, or if the amazon rain forest is the lungs of the world. and the forest of the copay,

the mountains of the lungs of europe. they suck the c o 2 out of the atmosphere and put oxygen back into it. they regulate the water system. there's a vast, vast array of life here. in fact, the forests of the world are the most by diverse ecosystems on the planet. barton is once proceed environment. life is the squeezed out by the so called in the mafia . trees being extracted illegally on an unprecedented scale by criminal gangs, and the locals who fight against it, pay the price. meetings are frequent. the people, the murder to 6 forest ranges have been killed in the last few years. leading to recent protests in the capital and caressed. oh, 1st hurry a petra's mimics the cold of the red stag. only going apart. he

tells me they used to be 50 or 60 in this area alone. so, but now it seems, there are none. and this is why this area was legally logged 10 years ago and it ripped apart to a system where trees one stood for thousands of years. and there are abundant bio diversity as a don't. it's all but a lifeless patchwork. but you can see in this kind of station from them on the fact that they're in a maps, you can see everything. it's impossible to believe that they didn't know they know, and they encourage and they took a lot of money. what he says is clear who's to blame the politicians, ending good forrester and a professional studies and grew up into the forest and know what forestry means, can blame only the politicians. we spoke to the government and they told us combating illegal logging is one of the priorities of romania. it's

a continuous action and we've already seen results. a working group has been set up which aims to increase the efficiency of solving criminal cases involving forestry crimes. as well as the specialization of environmental prosecutors we drove on through the forest along tracks and roads used in plain sight by the illegal loggers. the people who live in the mountains is terrible. farmer and forest only conclusion says the whole community is affected by today for the important up interesting. i thought the event we thought for hundreds of years we have manage the forest in a sustainable way. we take a small amount of wood for building and fire. you know, it's very annoying that strangers come here from other countries and take away our way of life. i'm frightened of the people who steal to what i feel my family's in danger. because this is a mob like organization, the scale of loss is staggering,

romania loses up to 9 heck his a forest per hour to illegal logging. that contributes to the huge amount of forest loss globally. in fact, between 1990 in 2016, the world lost 1300000 square kilometers a forest. an area larger than south africa. and in 2020 tropical forest loss around the world equal the size of the netherlands. since humans started cutting down forests, 46 percent of trees have been found. mm. around the world 2020 was meant to be a landmark year in the fight against deforestation a year by which many countries have pledged to have or completely stop forest loss . but in fact, the plundering has increased here in romania. it's not too late yet. if not now, when we've come to southern poland to the heart of the countries

mining industry, the rich coal seems of felicia have long powered the country. economic engine today providing up to 50000 jobs co accounts for more than 2 thirds of the country's energy supply. the trouble is by 2049 coal is due to be phased out and that presents a very real problem for the region and for the country as a whole. across poland, coal heartlands. this is a familiar site every day of the year and has been for decades, power stations working non stop, to keep the country running. this is their biggest and most common polluting power plant, the whole of europe. it is a balance of power station and it accounts are around a 5th, about 20 percent opponents total energy requirement and is fueled by this colossal pit my. we can see in front of his head and employs nearly 10000 people. ah. but every one across the industry is deeply worried about the future as

a transition to renewables means coal should be phased out entirely by 2049 at the latest. so the question is, what happens to the minus i met with mine and trade union offices. georgie, america, who was in the pits for 43, is, he took me deep down, a decommissioned mine, which is more than 40 kilometers of underground tunnels and told me minus of work. the coal faces here, sincerely 1800. now as the industry winds down 21st century minus, feel let down by the government, ashes us on of i am feeling for which em but if a prospect than i understand change is taking place in the money industry on necessary. but those changes have to put people 1st. it must be a just and fair transition, securing their existence. the money industry has long said the lift to our economy and today money is being considered as something bad and problematic for the

government. the green transition is a huge challenge. it admitted to al jazeera, it's unlikely to hit the 25th d cob. unusual target, agreed by the e. u. i think for, for us it's a need will be, it will be more difficult and than for orders. and it will certainly take us longer. it might be a few years beyond that. we haven't said that goal specifically in our, in our legislation today, we are currently working on, on a strategic until 2050, but that hasn't been finalized. i don't that stone certainly does. not make the full coming you in climate negotiations in glasgow any easier with a focus on the phasing out of co. a bad news too, because from a health perspective, the green transition cannot come soon enough. across poland, toxic colson, willows from millions of chimney tops. and this at a time when the world health organization says it,

air pollution is more dangerous than previously thought. killing an estimated $7000000.00 people a year in poland itself. air pollution causes $45000.00 premature deaths each year, while the country has some of the most polluted air in europe. and 36 of europe's 50 most polluted cities are in the country. but in the ones badly polluted city of crack of science is hitching a ride into the evening sky. every time this sight, seeing balloon goes up on both senses. st. apaloosa measurements down in 2019 city authorities been the burning of fossil fuels within city limits. and the effects have been immediate. se, yeah, great, changing the city, the quality of the air is say, improving cra, city outdoor. if the city is pushing to hurry, much pressure to it would use the amy since the crack of experience demonstrates

the possibilities ahead. for po, phase out coal, you slash emissions clean up the air at the same time, the getting there is a challenge. salisia the regional, the very front light of that green energy transition. and as that transition gathers pace, of course, all forms of renewable energy needs to be wrapped up from solar to wind, even the whole debate over nuclear power. and we're going to focus now on hydro power. and the problem with that is that as we build more dams, it takes us toll on the natural world. robin for our share. walker reports now from georgia. if you could travel through the mists of time, say around 200000000 years, you would find fish remarkably like the ones swimming the present day waters of the reality river here, special special fun in though a war of the we're in dinosaurs. this touches we're also living

here. so this is my will to responsibility for this living link to pre history rests on to moon as young shoulders a ph. d student and conservation officer with foreigner and flora international. 5 critically endangered species of sturgeon still spawn in the rony. that is the travel ups tree you from the black sea to lay their ranks. but upstream numerous times have contributed to that trusty decline. this one is devout seeking hydropower cascade completed in 1097. it stopped fish from reaching spawning grounds that had existed for millennia hydropower. so very me probably for sure. margins, funding grounds. i think chris and now it's only 9 kilometer in the

past, it was more of a 50 measure, temporary child. the would have to understand is the threat needs more data, said again is ready to help. he remembers the days when the sturgeon would lodge and plentiful, catching them now is illegal. but if method locals know who to call our law, your mom is not from another. we keep is alive, put it to the basket, and white the to moon, all the others. they'll come take a sample and let them go. said in fish, rubies, back into the river. that's delivering results. one species is thought to be extinct has been we discovered the so called ship sturgeon. but dna analysis also has revealed a wearing trend hybrid individuals which can no longer produce a listless dishes which interbred. they don't have enough spawning

grounds. also they are not locked into the dwarf and they cannot find the same species. ringback ringback man's intervention is everywhere. here the river has been diverted to reduce season who flooding this loose gates used to be used for quite a different purpose. if close you could trap migrating sturgeon, and they could be caught far more easily. well, thanks to observe is on the ground, those kinds of big fishing events are far less common. 12 monitors now patrol a 92 kilometer stretch of the rony. last year kennedy's team uncovered $22.00 incidence of poaching, including this brig of hooks designed to snag sturgeon on the river bed. they cisco, that's in my wellcare twana. don't go should live at the level. don't grant that a lot. we are in contact with each other over the phone. we pass on information.

what is happening in our area, or if a boat goes by, i will tell the others where it went in which day action. and it will react so that if something illegal is happening, we can stop it. the sturgeon ah, now better protected and better understood. but george is government once more, hydro power on this river, not less. their survival still hangs in the balance. the battle to change the way we power the world is mobilized as mass climate youth movement. his actions resonates around the world. we throw to 3 of ponies, you guys, harris and surgeons, and video clips of some key players in the climate conversation. my name is them, you can i 19 years old and i got into climate activism at the beginning of the pandemic because i always just wanted speed assertion to all that crazy that were facing. hi,

my name is what's ya and 16. and i joined to climate mover and 2 years ago i michel, i, i'm an 1000 years old and i knew came when they came in and lived in for about 3 years . there are further rises in temperatures that are already baked in, and my friends baked his word if we keep on the current track, then the temperatures will go up by 2.7 degrees or more by the end of the century, never mind will. that will do or to the ice flows, dissolving like ice in your martini here in a new york. when i hear this, i feel no hope to me. bars. johnson, just as his fellow prime minister, as presidents across the world, they are detached from the reality and do not treat the crisis that we are facing seriously. he meets with so many people and, and that she, she makes jokes about how the glacier is. i will melt like like ice in martini. i

mean that's that just said, no, she bailed a good. you all commitment to fight and eyes and deforestation is strong. we recently recorded a 28 percent decrease in deforestation and burning in the region. but even then we criticized valuable scenario as a climate denial and or, or he does is a, he permits eco site and he, he lice straight into our faces. and he, he doesn't care about indigenous people off. i'm as own an unprecedented flashlight in new york in new jersey. is yet another more reminder that is extreme storm in the crime, a crisis crisis, or here is a man of a seventy's, you know, and who knows, how long will he be able to, to live on this planet? i won't be living here for decades, but he is the one empower and he doesn't feel the fear that i feel he doesn't feel

this, this sense of, you know, the world just just being destroyed that i see every day when i wake up. when climate crisis came to them, when the climate crisis started to threaten their homes like their country, now they're starting to treat. it's a seriously when for a lot of years, climate crisis was a relative for billions of people in the global. so there is no planet b, there is no plan and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, i think the blah, blah, blah, sums up a lot. i think it is a 100 percent representation of what the politicians across our country. but across the world are giving us at the moment is just blah blah blades emptiness. it's nothing. see was just so sarcastic at the beginning and i quite like that because and she played at the same game, i'll sorry, our politicians do. and when she said,

blah, blah, blah, ah, that was what i hear when politicians say something about climate. lou comical, 26 is very important because, ah, we don't have any more time thought i'd there and 25 coughs like this. is there any hope for cough? i think yes because there will be a lot of people from our climate move went and i and i and i just can't wait to, i feel the power of the people as long as they will be sticking to those fairy tales . and we will not see crime and action that we have the right to see and that we demand from the world leaders will not see just as being implemented will not see climate being treated seriously. the only hope i see is in the movement and the people that treat this whole situation with the severity that it deserves the youth, we would very much driving the impetus for global change. well that's it for this

episode of canada. so as next stop by crucial climate summit in glasgow with you see is a great deal at stake, extreme weather to water shortages to destruction of the environment, to air pollution. the science tells us this is a fundamental moment. the relation to the world. i last chance perhaps, to pull out of this headlong dive into the climate crisis, was altering the very nature of the world we live. mm. hold. on counting the cost, the g $20.00 debt relief deal, which was supposed to help poor countries, but ended up lining the pockets of private investors. also how our demand for goods is linked to arrive in force and child labor. and from exporting co time to cannabis and abby's ambitions to self medical marijuana. counting the cost on al
