and yes, i was looking at the projections and they suggested things are only set to get worse and not just in madagascar, we keep hearing this phase, perhaps the welds bust, climate change induced famine, but food insecurity of the results of climate change is much more broadly affecting the globe than that floods right down south to dawn, for instance, people having to flee homes in order to feed their families. all we potentially hit in danger of missing the big picture when we focus on individual crises. no, i don't think so. i think focusing on monday guys not to not hide crisis, it's meant to bring to the attention of the international community, the meaning of the time of crisis because the private crises, eas, i see my marriage, traditional community in the house. i mean, we need to communicate the people we need to make those in.

next week we need to make them understand what keys are meeting of kind of meet people dying under. why don't we just go south to them? you know cool. we have the story of hard, i guess go because we have a standing relationship. my biggest thing was my biggest helpful for me is we know that people, we want to bring the price to the attention of the commercial community so that they understand that what we don't believe in what we are doing in new york. these people in the south kings on you mentioned the cock that's going to be taking place and guys go next week i see ahead of that countries of updated the pledges. and that would actually, when you all put it together, that would collectively produce just one 7th of the additional emissions cuts that the world needs. i mean, none of this is surprising, given a, well,

what's happened to previous negotiations? now ahead of this cup, there, obviously plenty of reports like yours, plenty of warnings from scientists. do you personally think that anything's actually different this time around? no, we got to cut the pledges, i'd be smallest. so we already know that 3 other piece, the object to over $1.00, temperature rise. we are a new and a report from yesterday. so we already know that key terms of cuts are going to the should we away way off? what? 3, where when we need to do that, he's a hopefully score 2 things for one, when it comes to the issue that i guess guy is confronting, which is the country that has least contributed to the pilot crisis. ethos affected bank. which means that the richest country, the investor does sure,

i won't need to cover the cost of what's happening in my desk. i was talking to you about climate financing. the home either during call 26. congress is can be made a moving forward. the kind of support recreation measures that countries like them and they get scammed. but typically people in the gas company because let me repeat it, they are not responsible for what is happening to them. why not less? that government is faulty, responsible because that country as can hold to the kids of neglect, of the political establishment, but the people are so the violations committed by the international community that has failed to take the necessary measures to cut any shows. so we need to focus on kind of financing, we to look for measures that allow home of the climate change directly

affecting the people such as the people in the house and, and yes, before i let you go, i do want to ask you this because it really felt like back in 2019, there was some movement towards rallying political movement around climate action, including what you're talking about, around financing lawson damage. but then there was this global pandemic, she think we've just gotten distracted. well, i mean, we haven't got distracted. i think there's huge awareness about the fact that the call very. ringback much the agree recovery and that we need to integrate assess cc. we've reached out to climate crisis. we found a quick coverage that helped me recall our home green recovery as the mobile recovery, not just the recovery of the so please be aware that they have the commitment.

let's see what happens next. we will indeed will be following that close to here on algebra 2 and yeah, tell him all that the secretary general of amnesty international. thank you so much for taking the time to join us on. yes, thank you very much to you. thank you. meanwhile, a un report shows that greenhouse gas emissions reached a record high last, an countries a whacking to respond, piling to the agreement with the european union to hits their 2050, called the neutral target, although, and still generates 70 percent of its electricity. by banning coal and other data fuels, net cock reports across poland, coal hot lands. 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 to the whole of europe. it is a balance of power station and accounts are around a 5th, about 20 percent opponents total energy requirement. and it's fueled by this

colossal open pit my. we can see in front of his head and employs nearly 10000 people but everyone 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 now shows us no by, i'm feeling you probably, jim. but if a proof i understand change is taking place in the money industry are necessary, but those changes have to put people 1st. it must be a just unfair transition, securing their existence for the government. the green transition is a huge challenge is admitted to al jazeera. it's unlikely to hit the 2050 carbon neutral target, agreed by the e u. it might be a few years beyond that. we haven't said that goal specifically in our, in our decision today, we are currently working on, on a strategic until 2050,

but it hasn't been finalized. i don't, that's don't certainly does not make the forthcoming you in climate negotiations in glasgow any easier with their focus on the phasing out of co, a bad use too. because from a health perspective, the green transition can not come soon enough. across poland, toxic toll smoke billows 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 crock of science is hitching a ride into the evening sky. every time this sight, seeing balloon goes up on board sensors,

sent air pollution measurements down in 2019 city authorities been the burning of fossil fuels. within city limits and the effects have been immediate, is here great, changing the city, the quality of the air is se improving. the crack of experience demonstrates the possibilities ahead for poland, phase or coal. you slash emissions, and clean up the air at the same time. but getting there is a challenge. mcclark al jazeera, salisia, poland, now moving on, and the so called one country, one law campaign, promised by sri lankan president got a by roger coxa. and as 2019 election campaign is now becoming reality. it's aim is to end discrimination and ethnically and religiously fractured nation. but the government of the but us majority country has now appointed a presidential task force, chaired by a controversial monk who himself has been accused of inciting anti muslim violence

. well, let's get more now from the now fernandez. she joins us from colombo. now this all sounds really rather problematic to be quite frank, the people are still waiting to hear more details. because while we've heard about the appointment of this presidential task force, the actual sort of task it is supposed to achieve is still a little bit ambiguous. we had a essentially the gather to which was promulgated by the president under the presidential directive, you know, listing out the 30 names of those who will make up this task force. essentially, the sort of job entrusted to them is to come up with a draft that gives a sort of credence and detail to the whole concept of one country. one law. now in terms of the president got, i'll be roger poxy,

he's election promises and his campaign he talked about bringing everybody a. 5 sort of under one law and for the minorities of this country, that was what the rallying cry was. obviously, it's really a sort of a rainbow fabric here in sherlock. it has been for decades for centuries. and what the minority parties had said is that every single community should be equal under the law. but there are some questions for this guys that are, that we have seen as to what the sort of intentions of the government is. and one of the reasons for that is the chairman of this presidential task force is a buddhist monk, or who has quite a colorful history, the venerable gallagher that they are now in a sort of pharaoh. and here's what we heard from one of the minority parties. regarding this appointment, a notorious monk has been appointed as a chap as another task force,

which is extremely worrying because his monk has been a instigating violence against minorities in the country in the past. and wasn't the forefront of some of these are terrible. i mean, racist attacks had happened around the country in the past. and the last few weeks he has come on stage media and has been talking about a new, a set of attacks that may happen in sri lanka, which is extremely worrying because a person who has been delegated bixler powers this. this looks as if president ergo, darby roger pox as delegated is executed powers on to this notorious monks. so it's very boring as a, as, as, as civilian in shalaka as to what could happen in the future. and that is the sort of prime concern for minorities. what exactly this task force is going to be doing now? the 1st thing in what with here about that draft, they will put together a draft look and review existing laws that lead to this concept of one country, one law. but how exactly is this going to be executed because for the minorities

what they want is everyone to be considered equal? the question is whether the government of gore taba roger boxer, a wit, the chairmanship of a d, a venerable gallagher there. now nasa tara is going to do that, and i'll fernandez there for us in colombo with all the later thank humana. now, hong kong has passed a toughened film censorship law that fans movies. running contrary to the interests of a beijing drafted national security lawn here to operate as your challenge. it will be fined up to a $175000.00 and can be sent to jail pro democracy activist, see hong kong, new cinema band as an extension of visions crackdown on freedom of expression and assembly. it's not known how the law will apply to streaming services there, like netflix and amazon prime on a brazilian senate committee has recommended that president viable scenario face criminal proceedings for the way he's handled the pandemic. it calls on prosecutors

to put boston arrow on trial for charges ranging up to crimes against humanity, sentences say many of the countries, $600000.00 corona virus, deaths could have been avoided. the committee also wants to present to be banned from social media falsity linking code 19 vaccines to h. i. v. monahan, a cave is monitoring developments for us from neighboring argentina. this damning report was approved. i sent out and they will be sending it now to the attorney general. and the attorney general, who was appointed by president abel sonata and may be biased towards him, has 30 days to give a response. he has to say whether he accepts the charges or not. there 9 charges in total. the most serious of them is on the present being accused of crimes against humanity. now this specific charge of crimes against humanity. the senators will

also take to the international court in the hague. so they are also, if in case the, the attorney general does not address of the charges that they, that, that this committee has recommended. there's thinking also of going directly to the supreme court now will anything happen on the short term? no, the most likely not. um. this is a process that takes a long time. president jade was one out of would have enough to be impeached just with these results, but the impeachment is the political process and elections will be presidential elections will be held in exactly one years. so there isn't time for that. now indigenous community is across ecuador, have been protesting against the governance economic policies. they're demanding that the president reverse arise and fuel prices. they're also angry about plans to double oil and mining exploration in the amazon. theresa bo reports now from the

province of coach poxy. that's just south of the capital kita. oh, have ready to means wake up in the local key to indigenous language. and here in the province of good or back scenic, what order it is, what indigenous leaders are asking their people to do? oh, demos, tweeters are opposing a rise in the price of fuel and increasing mining and own production. and a series of laws that they claim will hurt the countries poorest. the government says the reforms are necessary to jumpstart the economy. it bully equitorial is that indeed another be ecuadorian? people are tired of the measures taken by the government, neo liberal policies. that's why we're implementing our right to resist. according to our constitution, little by little people are joining us in the town of cecily also in go to foxy young members of the community. use metal spears to flash the tires of those who were seen working. not every one supports the protesters. course truck drivers like

carriers. lopez, i frustrated, he needs the truck to make a living off a little bit of work for a private company. we have to work were employees and they stop breaking our tours with, you know, president, yet more lateral took off is 4 months ago. last week he declared a state of emergency to combat racing crime, cost by drug trafficking and to control social and rest. the country so, so in the middle of an implant army crises, lever, unions, and other activities groups join tuesday protests as well. the police use tear gas on demonstrators in the capital quito as small clashes to place photos like this one are happening all around the country. a government says that they won't allow indigenous groups to block the roads. they're saying that they trying to generate instability in the country, but indigenous groups are saying that this is the only way they have to protect the environment and to protect their way of life in another. another indigenous leader,

loneliness isa, told us equality is violating the constitution in trying to double the amount of oil and mining production in the country. ave colorado, in the grip of the government has declared that the key 151 for the mining and 95 for oil. it cannot be sustained and re, you have shown that these territories should be used for other type of economic activity. we are growing, go with food producing to exports. why do they want to destroy our 30 tories by using extracting economies? ecuadorian. indigenous communities have historically been affected the most by oil spills and destruction of the environment caused by extraction of natural resources . they see their communities end up devastated and poor. that's why they insist. they have the right to resist and fight government development plans, but they see, come at their expense. that is, i will, i'll de cedar, bought the poxy equality on democratic republic of congo has finally sworn in

allowed to compete australia open with conflicting information from different political leaders. last week, local and federal government indicated that players would not be allowed into the country if they were not double job against coven 19. but now the australian prime minister scott morrison has contradicted bass and a television interview saying they could be granted special access if they quarantine for 2 weeks. but that's not gone down well in the house state, victoria, which is only just emerging from months of lockdown after reaching high vaccine targets. here's what was said on wednesday, starting with the prime minister. if you're on vaccinate, did you go to quarantined the 2 weights? so that's our view. what if there is a special exemption that is, was warranted for an economic reason like that will that can happen, unvaccinated play should not be allowed in prime ministers clarify the federal government's position today. i think great counsels, i made some comments and what i want to make very clear is that this side of victoria will not be applying for any exemptions for unvaccinated players. i think we just got to be sensible and practical. okay. we want major events in this

country. a lot of jobs depend on it. we want to stride is sure to the world that we're open. we're getting on with it and asked and actually require people sitting in the grandstand, paypal working at the event to be vaccinated war place. so we're not going to be applying for an exemption. so therefore the issue is basically result. it's nice to have, you know, all clear and, and hard and fast rules, but there needs to be a little bit of flexibility so we can live with the virus. it's fair to say that the atlanta braves got off to a good start in baseball's. well series especially the designated hitter hole. hey sola returning to the line up after recovering from kevin 19, he became the 1st player ever to start to weld series. with a high run, the braves were the away team and they never looked back after that. beating the houston astros 6 to to take a one, no lead in the series, but they did suffer a massive live by losing its starting pitcher to charlie morton to injury. it turned out that he broken his leg else being hit with bull. we tried to carry on

playing even striking out that jose out to bay in the 3rd inning, but he was eventually forced to leave the game and the rest of the series. and he said with alan, got me good. and then he, he was kind of walking a little funny. i didn't think it was broken. i just, you know, took a line drive off off his leg, but to go out there and check out the next guy with a broken leg close on mine. in the m b a, there was a worrying sight, the denver nuggets fans with nicholas kitch. limping off the court and that loss to the utah jazz. the writing m v p. a banged nice with job center. really go back late and the 2nd quarter went down clearly in a bit of pain. and he played no further than the game emerge, suffered a breeze write me, but if not, thought the 2 serious things got a little heated. later on the top half and white sided them visit to michael green, pushing and shoving and that fox, the confrontation between the 2 players who then have to separate it. they will

then jacked it from the game for the action, go back for 23 points, and 16 rebound jazz to a 120 to 110. it's taking them over 4 years for the new york next and finally and a 15 game losing streak against the philadelphia 70 sixes campbell walk. i lead the way for new york with 19.748, and it's 18 and a 1. 1299 victory. 2 to 3. there are 100 days ago until the winter olympics, and beijing is promising a simple and safe games. despite the challenges of coven 194 and fans have already been banned through organizes if not released a playbook of measures to stop the virus. reading. all participants and domestic stuff must be vaccinated and will be subject to daily cove. it's $900.00 tests. they'll be contained in a closed loop system to keep them away from the general public financial financial

reading though she don't comply with the regulations. my face, severe consequences such as a warning cancellation of accreditation, disqualification or expulsion from the competition and other punishment when china does not only want to contain the virus, he wants to eradicate virus. and this is being done now with a great the efficiency with very strict measures. and these of course, will also be transfer the to the olympic games, the same canada, the latest one of the uniforms for beijing 2022 is countries around the world prepared to send thousands of athletes to compete for the games that being heavily criticized with several activists calling for a boycott. so i have a, china's human rights record over in australia, the chef. the mission was about the issue on wednesday, the athletes absolutely have their own voice and they and, and they will be free to free to express their own views. then about the difficult

issues about that about the human rights issue started by significant issues and they're important issues, but ireland time is focused on the performance. we also respect the we are in another country, the why didn't then the the way that country operates when we need to respect that . so, but what we are they focused on is, is to do sport cricket now in australia. so opening batsman david warner has he and his team will take me and then next to 20 well, came against lanka. warner was responding to a question about south african opened quinton, to cook. he withdrew from their world, cut much target against the west indies, after cricket, south africa directed all of its players to take the ne, in support of the black live matter movement from our stance. we respect the decision of the opponents and we will take, the captains will obviously talk about it before we got to fly and we'll take that

we'll take in a home or we're super tight. so that's my stand or talk going silva, she to the said african administration making the same take any yeah from from, from there's obviously that she didn't ation to visual decision to do that. barcelona case round came and will be hyping for a much needed when again. so i of i a con, a later on wednesday with his job hanging in the balance. pressure is mounting on the dutchman. following sundays defeat. it's around madrid and al classic i, vasa, a 9th in lally, get 6 points of leaders around. so see that. but despite the criticism he's facing, human is trying to remain positive is social courses, cammie, mazda. this is something that i enjoy the if the day comes where i no longer enjoy it, that i'll leave peacefully. i'd play go 4 times a week. it's also a beautiful sport. but i still want to follow this path, continue to improve this team. i understand that it's a delicate situation,
