12:00 pm
holding back, we didn't have that ability of mother nature. stuart is dangerous and exhausting work. we're trying to give whatever to with the hope is the fire will stop when it runs out of fuel. but for the moment, the fuel is everything in sight. lou, climate change and the economic recovery from the current of ours. a high on the agenda with the g 20 liter summit getting underway in rome. ah, hello there. i'm natalia tay, this is al 0 life and are also coming up us drug regulations. authorize a lower dose. coven, 19 vaccine for children aged between 5 and 11. saudi arabia expels the lebanese ambassador. it's the kingdoms response for being accused of aggression in the yemen . war. courts and fishing boats damaged in southern japan after
12:01 pm
a large amount of pebbles from an undersea volcanic eruption pile up on the coast. ah, all the annual g 20 summit is just about to begin. presidents, prime ministers, and heads of organizations will gathering and rome for meeting the wilds leading economies. the equitable distribution of current virus vaccines and global economic recovery from the pandemic will be high on the agenda. fighting climate change will also be dominating discussions as this to day meeting precedes the cop 26 conference in glasgow. the un secretary general has wandered catastrophic outcomes for the wild. if he does fail to take ambitious action on the climate crisis. we asked you above what the science east fellows that are the levels of emission debt should be needed in 2030 and in 2050.
12:02 pm
and it is clear that it leads nowhere. if developed countries will try to blame emerging economies and the emerging economies will try to blame developed countries. these is the moment for everybody to the maximum. well that's, i bring an are definitely get their james bases on the ground for us in rome. and james, as even saying this meeting takes place in the run up to those climate talks and guys go, so presumably what these leaders say here or decide to include in a communicate that will set the tone for those discussions. absolutely. that, that according to the un secretary general, he just heard is essential that they get a good outcome here at the g 20 as he put it, all the roads to glasgow lead through rome. if the g 20 don't do the right thing here than the cop 26,
12:03 pm
those vital climate talks that taking place. as soon as this summit ends are going to be a failure. well, what are they talking about behind the scenes? clearly they're trying to get the right information and the right wording in a communique, a joint communicate agreed by old gee 20 leaders. they've not got agreement on that . i spoke to one of the sherpas, they're the envoys. busy of the g 20 leaders who were negotiating, i'm told, until very late in the evening. and they, i was told still how trying to get the full agreement. we are getting some glimpses though, into the draft language with regard to climate, the jeep 20 leaders are saying they remain committed to capping global warming. and then the quote is well below 2 degrees celsius. remember the you and once 1.5 degrees, they say keeping 1.5 within reach will mean meaningful and effective actions taking into account different pathways and approaches. i think in acknowledgement the
12:04 pm
don't all agree on the way forward. they also say that they acknowledge the key revel relevance of achieving global net 0 greenhouse emissions of carbon neutrality by mid century. and then the other bit of all of this is the t 20 leaders trying to help developing countries or with the climate challenge. and they say they've stressed the importance of fulfilling a commitment to mobilize a $100000000000.00 annually until 2025 for developing countries. they, they commit to that is worth telling you, they 1st agree to that in 2010. that was going to start in 2020 and they haven't reached that 100000000000 target yet. so again, going back to something that they committed in the past and haven't fulfilled a fairly contentious is there that james, also a number of other issues on the agenda to the answer, hefty one. can you talk a 3 and what we expect to be on the table today? there is always going to be such a big range of issues when the g 20 gaffa, because these are the most important countries in the global economy gathering
12:05 pm
together in the economy can political issues. and in addition to climate, cobit 19 that seems to be some movement thereon. more distribution of vaccines around the world, making sure that parts of the world which are still not properly protected against koby 19, get those vaccinations. we're going to have a discussion in the opening part of the v 20 in the next hour or so. there's gonna be about global tax, the g 20 light to endorse plan by the g 7 to make sure that multinational companies don't try to avoid tax by tax shopping different jurisdictions. instead they'll have to pay a minimum of 15 percent corporate right. tax also energy that potentially is going to be a big problem as countries start to emerge from the pandemic. that's going to be a problem. i think with the demand outstripping supply of energy. that's going to affect cause the oil price, gas gas. but also, i think europe, i think, is
12:06 pm
a real challenge there with the wind to coming in europe. and that you find the russian now provides a great deal of europe's energy that's potentially controversial issue some save. let me put in the russian president, holds the keys to the energy supplies now in europe. so that will be an important discussion taking place also worth telling you about a couple of things that are happening here in rome while lead us here. but not all the g 20 will be present for one present. one is going to have a meeting with president macro of france and chancellor merkel of germany. she's still here. she's still the chancellor for now. this will be her last summit. she's been the german leader since the time of president chirac of, of france and george w bush of germany. this her last summit. the meeting with other one is important because it has been such tense relations between turkey and western countries. and
12:07 pm
the last important meeting we're going to see today involves the iran nuclear deal . the u. s. is going to be meeting with its european allies, the u. k. germany and france to try and see if there's a pass way back to the u. s. rejoining that deal, the president trump pulled out job so controversially wrong. all they actually interested in the u. s. rejoining the deal. they say they are and they say they'll go back to the school talks in vienna by the end of that, but very busy a day that and ryan james based out of magic editor across that for us, for now. thank you very much, james. well, i was, james was saying that one of those big agenda items for this meeting is the response to the pandemic that's not bring in robert yates. he's the executive director at the center of universal health at jasmine house in london. rabbit. i was looking at some numbers and by some analysis g. 20 countries have received 15 times more cobit 19 vaccine doses per capita than low income countries. countries
12:08 pm
in sub saharan africa. i know you yourself have used the word indifference when it comes to how, which countries of address that do you expect need is actually to do anything today to change that? well, they must, i mean one does what is the point of the g 20 a global crisis like this and, you know, we've been hearing from you already to that. and so when it comes to the climate crisis, we need meaningful and effective action. and this is exactly what we need from the g 20 unfortunate that did happen at the g 7, but it was hosted in court will earlier in the year. but we now have the vaccines available to us to be added to, to even up the distribution around the world. so it's very, very straightforward. what needs to be done. and i want to just hopes that g 20 meters take your opportunity to watch in this crisis. rather than concave and take a red ones, i already rolling out the jobs against the request of the w h. i. i know you have
12:09 pm
some very strong feelings on that subject. yes, we should be rolling out to people like myself to meet me slightly better. whilst health workers in sub saharan africa, but 90 percent of how it works in sub saharan africa are completely unprotected and risking their lives on that on a daily basis. so from a hold of humanity perspective, we shouldn't be rolling out boosters. so vaccinating young children before more needed people in the rest of the world. now, we will have a time where we will have to sit, but it is just a case of friends and ending this pandemic quickly, that we now have the means to accelerate the end of the pandemic. and if we just do this, if we don't equal the number of vaccines across the world, we run the risk about 5000000 people will die. so one wonders what the g 20 c is thinking. and if it doesn't act on this in asia, we'll talk about accelerating the end of the pandemic. we are expecting panic,
12:10 pm
economic recovery, also to be discussed at the 20 today. do you feel that potentially premature when parts of the developing while they're still struggling with their coven 19 responses? and that could obviously inhibit recovery around the world. is obviously very good to plan for the future. and they're going to be discussions about how many treaties and you know, preparing for the next time that it has to be to end this war. and as i say that $5000000.00 people stand to die and, and also rejection, say, say that the loss to the world's economy will be $5.00 trillion dollars by 2026. so the privacy has to be to get people vaccinate, to get me back to work at world trade going again. and then we can really be serious about building, but rather this pandemic, as we've been talking about you and i has really exposed and deepened the divide between rich and poor. the lack of generosity then,
12:11 pm
and the lack of cooperation that we've been seeing that doesn't really bode very well of any kind of urgent global agreement. neither on climate change as we go towards glasgow will yes to be. and both you might say are sort of mixed essential threats. really, you know that the climate crisis and bist this massive health crisis. so this is where we need multilateralism to work. and i understand that the italian prime minister is very much saying this to 20 as an opportunity to reboot multilateralism . of course, this is the 1st time to get out to meet for awhile and, and you know, this is exactly what's needed on the axis. and then if we do get to good out, come on on vaccines will then hopefully this can be take forward to glasgow to serious negotiations about talking try finally, prices, robert yates, they're the executive director at the center for universal health at chatham house in london. great to get your thoughts and expertise on out there. thank you for joining us now. moving on and major roads and students
12:12 pm
capital have been closed ahead of planned protested against a military crew that took place on monday. a cybersecurity watchdog says the internet has already been blocked, the u. s. on the you and are calling on to dons military not to interfere with these demonstrations. at least 11 people have already been killed during protest this week. meanwhile, activists have been broadcasting messages and mosques urging people to continue their opposition to the military's takeover. while the united states will soon start vaccinating children between the ages of 5 and 11 against coven, 19, the drug regulation agency has authorized a lower dose of the fire as a job for that age group. that means as many as 28000000 children could be eligible, the head of the food and drug administration says this will bring the us closer to returning to a sense of normalcy. the movers spurred by a rise and infections of the delta variant and the reopening of schools go ahead
12:13 pm
here on here and it has the longest mediterranean co signed in africa that some of the fishermen say crumbling marine infrastructure is dragging back industries desperate journey and hope of a better future. we meet the migraines from central america, determined to walk away to the u. s. ah. some storms moving away from brits been hello everyone. here's your weather forecast for australia. things do settled down as we head toward sunday. a few spits of rain toward the north and you know the top and darwin, daytime high of 35. but your low temperatures are about 2627. so you're not catching much relief. and that continues over the weekend for new zealand. i think the biggest story will be the south west winds, but look what they're going to do. produce waves up to 4.5 meters high along that
12:14 pm
west coast, off to southeast asia. right now we've got our bursts of rain and our problem spots . i think will be across the areas of sumatra, the west, the north through java, and also still that western portion of borneo annoy and vietnam has picked up about $35.00 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. i think much of that same can be expected on sunday. now if i take you to china, we're watching a batch of rain run through. we'll call it pretty much gray lane right down to the pearl river valley. but hong kong, you will stay dry with a high of 26 degrees, whether pulls away from cargo she, my and temperatures have fallen as we look toward harbin and beijing, beijing coming in at 16 degrees. but that still above average and a nice stay in tokyo with the sunshine and the height of 18 season. ah, the old culture because the billions and losses, bankruptcy and bailouts,
12:15 pm
when will be airline industry will probably begin washing drums to finish the influence of the last of america. or the 1st. let me come with the 1st one trivia, also, america. where up at this will, this is the talk industry counter recalls on alger 0, unprompted undone, interrupted discussions from our london broadcast center. oh, now to 0. ah ah ah, hello. they are watching al jazeera. that's remind you about top stories. the salad, well need is have gathered in rome for the g 20 summit. we'll discuss the global economic recovery from this pandemic. new un chief is also quoting on them to take
12:16 pm
ambitious action on climate change or risk subjecting the wild catastrophe. major roads as your dawn's capital have been closed ahead of plant protests against monday's military coup. the internet has also reported even blobs the u. s. and you end up calling on to don's millet treat not to interfere with these demonstration. the u. s. will soon start vaccinating children between the ages of 5 and 11 against private 19. the drug regulation agency has it authorized to find the job for that age group. the move was spread by arise and infections, and the reopening of schools now, the lebanese ambassador to saudi arabia and buffering have been given 48 hours to leave. meanwhile, saudi arabia has recalled it's ambassador and announced it stopping all imports of lebanese goods. the dispute comes after lebanon's information minister criticize the saudi lead coalitions war and yemen in a video circulating online lebanon's prime minister nadia mcafee is urging the
12:17 pm
minister to make the right decision and fix our relations. and the arab league is also calling on all parties to resolve the route they hold has moved from barriers a few days ago. a video circulated on line in which the information minister was criticizing the saudi a lead military campaign in yemen. in fact, calling saudi arabia the external aggressors. now, this of course angered saudi arabia. the information minister said that his statements were made before he was appointed in the new government. they were made back in august, and this was his personal opinion. but that was just not enough for saudi arabia, even the lebanese government tried to distance itself, the prime minister, the president. they tried to distance themselves from the statements made by the information minister saying that it did not reflect lebanese government policy. but
12:18 pm
clearly with saudi arabia's decision to recall it, some back sort of for consultations and demanding that the lebanese investor in saudi arabia leave the country within 48 hours. it is just, this is just not enough. now this is going to, this is definitely a blow to the new government ever since. prime minister matthew took office. he has been talking about, you know, trying to restore relations with the gulf corporation council states. because as of late, really, the relationship between lebanon and gulf arab states has been at an all time low. in fact, especially saudi arabia believes that iran through it's local ally, has the law now controls the country. and this is why saudi arabia really has been staying on the sidelines. so the traditional partners of lebanon, the gulf, our countries, the political and economic partners, they have been on the side line as of yet. so this new incident definitely is going
12:19 pm
to further further strain. the relationship are moving on and large amounts of volcanic human stones are causing trouble on japan, southern coast, the pebbles from an undersea volcano have club 30 ports, damage, dozens of boats and disrupted fishing. the government has decay, the natural disaster, but the stones are still piling up, and officials or warning they'll probably affect the coastline for the north to give me some data. i thought it was exciting how pumice from a volcanic eruption in august reached all the way to the western shore of okinawa, but after a week the pumice had accumulated up to 50 centimeters. this is disastrous. joining us from sidney is have a handley. she is a vulcan ologist and also an adjunct professor, an adjunct associate professor, i'm sorry, i must university, have a my understanding is that this was from a huge option back in august, the largest since world war 2. how much payments are we actually talking? tens of millions of cubic meters. yes, so the other option i could,
12:20 pm
i don't want to volcano around about, over a 1000 kilometers south of tokyo. and the erection was pretty large. so normally these underwater volcano, as you know, we see some activity at the surface in a bit of an ice cream coming out. but this one produced an ice cream that reached about 16 kilometers into the atmosphere, so quite a substantial eruption and an explosive interruption. and that was created these payments, and so there being estimates that anywhere from a tens of millions of cubic meters up to $100.00 or over $100.00 cubic. sorry, 100000000 cubic meters of pumps were created from russian. and just to put that in perspective, if you transfer that amount to olympic swimming pools and you're filling them with if you had a 100000000 cubic meters, that would be equivalent to 40000 olympics or implant material that may have been produced. and that's a huge amount that we know also that this is obviously very rough,
12:21 pm
very abrasive. so can you describe the sort of damage that we're seeing on ports and boats? i will say it's had ecosystem impacts to yes. so it can cause a lot of damage. you can obviously clog engines, and i think that's what's being causing a lot of problems for both in the area. and also you can scratch in a break because like he said, you know, it is a rock and it's very abrasive. and so it's dangerous and can cause a lot of problems for fishing base. and i know it's affected tourism in the area as well as the fish and there's been reports, so some of the fish may have ingested some of it this material and it's all kind of, i guess, all in all in the water and causing everything that is ingested by the fissions killed some fish in the local area or they have clogging things in japan also has a few coastal nuclear power stations. could this cause problems for then? how far afield could this actually drift? yes, so japan does talk coastal power nuclear power station,
12:22 pm
but intake with water from, from the, from the ocean. and so they are concerned at the moment that material could get, you know, clogs and water inlets. and so what i'm thinking i'm doing is trying to do what they do and trying to make some great for, you know, they're all a little bit concerned as well as they please. this kind of current moves further into the north and it may affect other areas as well along the coastline. oh, i'm looking now at these enormous, enormous wave of the sea and beaches that have been covered by this. punish. how do you clean something like this up? yeah, i think they will turn cuz they're still trying to work out. how are they going to leave all these payments? and i know that in one village alone, where poor fema dated by the pony, they've been trying to use the biggest excavating. but they've been taking 10 tons of my day at the moment, but even better, it's probably estimated to take several weeks. and if the current keeps bringing more of the coastline is going to be
12:23 pm
a process is going to take several weeks or months to clear out. so really have an operation. in the meantime there, heather, i see that has been other russians. volcanic eruptions in japan just over the last week as well. no, and near as large as this one, but still are you observing potentially a period of heightened volcanic activity in that region. and so this is really pretty normal to be, you know, around the world with being quiet. did you ever options at the moment in la palma, on hawaii, we're seeing them and iceland, they will often get any kind of activity frequently at different places around the world. so it's not really any cause the content at the moment. well, that's very good to know. indeed, hadn't, hadn't that of all? can ologist an adjunct associate professor walsh university speak to us from sydney? thanks so much for joining us. have a great to get your thoughts. thank. he was facing a fishing fisherman and libya say their trade has potential to become
12:24 pm
a profitable industry, but they argue that it needs more investment and has been neglected by authorities . many trainer reports from tripoli. it's sun rise in tripoli as a new day begins this mission, really in the area to a drama. some of these fishermen are preparing to go out to see others begin coming back after an early start with their the day looked the hoping, fishing these waters for decades. he says there's a lot of opportunity and official industry, but it's difficult financially because of its high cost k that sir libya to let that be. sir. libya has a beautiful coastline and is rich and fish chicken. if the government looked at the sector and cleaned the waters built up our infrastructure, it would encourage young men to work in the sector and the situation would be much better than our oprah libya has africa's longest coastline on the mediterranean. it extends over 1800 kilometers. it's abundance and see life could make libya,
12:25 pm
premier export or a seafood contribute to achieving food security and create new job opportunities for a lack of government funding and marine infrastructure has left the sector neglected . the higher cost for fishermen is passed along to customers. it's also led many to send their goods to neighboring countries like kamesia, where they'll get a higher price. good enough mosquito. our main problem is the export of fish. many customers complaint that the fish is too expensive, or there isn't any good fish in the market. that's because all the good fish exported with as algy then works for the ministry of marine resources. yes. and he says with the right planning and investment, libya's fishing industry could be an important source of income for the government rather than depend on oil export. but one of the, it does the fishing, marina's are in very bad shape. they are in dire need of maintenance and renovation . the infrastructure needs re vamping and government investment. we are studying
12:26 pm
how to invest in this important sector so that we can take advantage of it. the libyan unemployment rate is estimated to be around 20 percent, with oil exports representing really 95 percent of the government, annual revenue authorities here are now looking to see as an alternative for development like trina 0 triple as well. it's now been almost a week since a large group of migrants set off from the mexican city of tampa. true them aiming to get to the united states while previous caravans of and stopped by mexican authorities. this one has managed to advance. john holman, has war from southern mexico the it's a tough awakening to the group of more than 3000 people who moving through mexico and foot, trying to get to the u. s. after another night spent sleeping on the street. there's a lot of children here. the 7 in the martinez family is struggling already in the
12:27 pm
north and some of them were tired, but the children even more so one is ill. she's got source, they've all got irritated skin. it must be the sun and the change in the temperature. like most people in the caravan, the martinez is have come from central america on today. in their case 15 people, 3 generations of their family have fled. later they'll tell us why. like many of this, they arrived quickly at the mix considered top chula hoping to then travel through the country to the states, but authorities can find them there for months. now they've managed to get out. we will little they can carry these bags, contain all of our in my team. this is his wife and free children's possessions. perched on a rickety buggy gas ones. i reckon the wheels might give out at some point today during the walk. i'm right now. this is everything that you have in the world
12:28 pm
pretty much. no, i would say. so. look at in, in ah, soon enough, it's time to head off. the group started before dawn to avoid the south metzger. pete, the only sound a little chatter. and the children who can't take it anymore, and despite long lines of cars and taxes to the side of them, no one's going to give them a ride. the mexican government plan this time round, seems to be to let people have thoughts but only on foot. and they've set up checkpoints like this one daily ahead of the caravan to make sure that cars buses, taxes aren't picking, migrants up, and that way round the migrants in the caravans quickly getting worn down and they still a couple of months, whoop from mexico city. the caravans official stopping point 6 months at their
12:29 pm
current rate from the us, where many want to eventually get to the martinez family are already on the verge of giving up. but one thing stops them. and now we have nothing back home. we sold everything. and what's more, we can't go back here. we're put in my husband had problems with extortion because he's a taxi driver and my son to because he didn't want to join the gangs. and those that don't join can be killed. it led on leslie to over memories of her son. she says was so precious by the gangs to join that he took his own life and leant them in. my fiery gang of my son killed himself when he was 20 alarming. if i can take care of my life back home is paul. but so as this journey given early as i was alone, that night we left the family sleeping in a leaky warehouse in another village, only a tiny bit further on the long walk,
12:30 pm
nor john holman out visitor is scribbler in bolivia, the face of an 11 year old girl who became pregnant after being raped by a family member, has sparked fears to base demonstrators rallied in the past on friday over claims that religious groups intervened to stop the guard from getting an abortion. the un says, forcing her to go through with the pregnancy qualifies as torture, but the bolivian conference of bishop says both lives should be protected. ah ha, that says al jazeera, these are the headlines. well, leaders have gathered in rome for the g 20 summit. they're discussing the global economic recovery from this pandemic, and the u. n. chief is also calling on them to take ambitious action on climate change or risk subjecting awhile to catastrophe algebra matter.
