8:03 am

8:04 am
. people will be watching closely to see if a closing group statement will go far enough in addressing climate change. adam rainy algebra room. a global corporate tax agreed by g. 20 leaders aims to discourage multinational corporations from stashing profits in countries where they pay little or no taxes. lauren's cult golf as a professor of economics at boston university in the us, he explains who is going to be most effective. this will actually be good for low tax rate havens because they'll all be able to collectively raise their tax rate up to the 15 percent minimum and i'd have to compete with each other in his race to the bottom. so, you know, he's a good for the big country is not necessarily because it's less of an incentive for companies to move outside the u. s. or major or higher tax regions. and we have all
8:05 am
these countries have signed on including tax savings. so they may see some benefits and one of the benefit is that they're not competing with each other. if you get my drift and you're also going to be able to get more revenues is still going to be lower. tax is still going to be an incentive to operate there. it just won't be as big as it was. it's not an end. it's a to me, nation of tax havens. i think this race is the bottom problem of operating in countries that have very low taxes to attract capital. that's been a problem for the big countries. and then the small, the tax savings are competing with each other. so then i get much revenue. so this is i think, a win win. in general, it's not ideal tax reform to tell you the truth, but it's, i think, better than what we have the united states on the european union have agreed to ease tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. the deal to resolve the trade dispute was announced out the g 20 summit. the u. s. will now allow certain missiles from
8:06 am
the you to enter duty free. it avoids e retaliatory measures on us products, which was due to go into effect in december. former president donald trump introduced the levies 3 years ago. the lavelle has the latest from washington, dc. what this does is it gives president biden a number of wins. first of all allows him to show off on the world stage that the u . s. is back that it's making friends again, which is what a lot of the g twins he's been about, it's about him showing that the u. s. is moving away from that. isolation is the approach that the previous administration favorite in a number of ways. it allows him to also avoid these a. you retaliate to retire. if remember they would you to kick it in a matter of weeks. they were going to double duty on a number of things. like, for whiskey like harley davidson motorcycles, all american products. and this would not have gone down well domestically. it also allows him to show off his green credentials. we know the president biden has made tackling climate change,
8:07 am
a real tenant of his presidency. he's going to be at the cop summit in a matter of days. this allows him to show that they're working in the u. s. with your rep, which is known for producing what you might call clean metals, as opposed to china, which is allowed use as co powered furnace is. so can make cheaper metals, but not necessarily battles that are great for the environment. and also on the subject of china, it allows him to show some presidential muscle against china, which you guys will go down well with some courses here in the united states. now, in terms of the actual logistics of this agreement, the announcement has to be made. we've had an announcement of an announcement that is coming at the moment. the terrorists are 25 percent on steel, 10 percent, all minion, we believe, but it's probably going to be something more like a sliding scale. so, depending on how much the input level is, that will then affect how much the tower saw. so it will be all relative and again, the amount will be this buffer zone, this green zone of what we think will be $3300000.00 tons
8:08 am
a year allowed in. but again, those details are due to be made public later by president biden. us live on the line, crucially, these metals will have to be made in the a use that means they are melted and poured in the you. it means that countries like china, like russia, like south korea, can't make them than send them to europe and past the modern saying they were made in europe because they had a few finishing touches put on in europe. but as i say, those details coming and becoming out on service, since you don't say another 4 people have been killed in protests against the militia, cou, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets. soldiers used tear gas unblocked, major roads, and they have been multiple reports of gum, 5, hip morgan reports from katya. a protest that's been days in the making. thousands of people gather on the streets of her to demanding a return to transitional government. something they say was rub from them after the military coup on monday. i know some glove lean. we went to the street because we
8:09 am
reject the military rule and he reject authoritarianism. and we categorically reject all the behavior of the military council. i don't know my be not one another would log on. we want to topple the security committee and bring it down. we don't trust these people. this is not their 1st coup. we need the world to know that the sudanese people are living under oppression and are being beaten. our voices are not listened to because there is no coverage and there is no internet. ah, they're risking a lot. days of protests in the capital, letters treat to st. battles with the military and demonstrators killed. with the internet, cut off organizers used mosque flyers and graffiti to reach people. ah, the military also blocked the main road to the airport. the plant root of this march saturday's protests were met with tear gas and live ammunition. what is really concerning is the vast array of military security actors that are on the
8:10 am
streets. there are just incredible set of odds of security sectors that now patrol the streets. no sense that they are necessarily taking orders from a central spot. and i think that i know that diversity of different mills rectors is really the world. ah, these demonstrators are demanding that prime minister, the lamb dukes cabinet be restored. it was toppled by general abdel for the help or hon. he also dissolved the sovereignty council established after the overthrow of omar bashir 2 years ago. some political parties have supported the cool o 11 ship hon. we're hans, as he will hold elections in july 2023 and then hand power to the elected civilian government. with the takeover has provoked international condemnation. the u. n. m . u. s. has called on the military not to intervene in the protest. regional and international acts as have been urging general han to reverse his school and was so the transitional government which he dissolved on monday,
8:11 am
but many processors here. so even if that happens, it's their faults short of their demands to completely hand over power to civilian rule. the people on how to toombs. 3, call it a power, grab and demand. a returned to a democratic process. he bo morgan august 0. what to rebels from ethiopia is to cry, regions say they are now in full control of the strategic town of dessie in the neighboring. i'm har, region, the government is contesting that claim. phasing has moved into the em horan afar regions silence rebels reach a control of to grey. the conflict has been going on for more than a year. william davison, as a senior. if european analyst at the international crisis group, he says, taking control of jesse would be significant for the t p l f. i think it's important as it opens up the routes to and i just have about as another major sort of obstacle. so it's a great forces and it's also
8:12 am
a large and significant hara. and it also allows to see great forces, easy a passage to the east, and perhaps to take control of the booty road, the main trade route. so it's important and those are special. so a large psychological below if the great force is doing the take control of it and i think, you know, they have a decent amount of control, but they're still fighting ongoing and, but it is part of the steady games on the battlefield for the 2 great forces in july, we do not know whether they will face stiffer resistance on the other fronts in northwest somehow right around guns and these types of areas. but it does look like that too great for to have a significant military ascendancy where that actually takes us in terms of the politics of the situation. i mean, of course, a whole other question yesterday, quite a significant but a further call to the people. they're not just a military to defend against the 2 great 40, so you can see this guy the threat. but other than those types of options we have
8:13 am
at how being used again, cities is in great over recent weeks, but that's not likely to have any significant military attack. so at some point, the federal government may have to look at the option of negotiations as the pressure increases because of the 2 great advance. at least 12 people are now known to have been killed in an explosion at aiden's international airports in southern yemen. several more wounded in the comp um attack, the city has been robbed by several explosions in the past 3 years. has been the seat of humans internationally recognized government since iranian by tape the rebels took over the capital sunlight and 2014 still ahead on out. is there a make or break moment? will tell you what's a steak house? well, lead is gabba climate summit in glasgow and struggling on the soaring inflation. argentinians called on their government to stump foreign debt payments.
8:14 am
ah, now officially we're into a season where rain can fall anywhere in the radiant but in still not much side of it to be honest at the barrier. there's still a few showers, which is not unusual on the high ground or western yemen. now there is a hint here of a bit of a trough coming out to the east, and that means a change in the weather type, bringing showers for norden, egypt. jordan, moving towards syria. not a huge amount of rain in that, but some, all the same. now if we focus this further east and north, where when to talk to you few days ago, wouldn't directions changed? it's no longer getting colder news. becca stanon, turkmenistan, for example in the teens to and that's true throughout iraq. a few shots for the west and nasa by john, maybe i think the folks is still beyond that. this is what caused all that flooding
8:15 am
. the stormy weather in in sicily now dispersed. it'll bring a lot of heavy rain to certain turkey in rush house throughout tookie. it'll go across cyprus and towards syria, maybe lebanon during tuesday, but the south of that, you end up turning much dryer. there also is, i think will be an increase in the matter potential, right into booty and the whole of africa. but really in trough go after a has been the case for a few days. the heavy strain is obviously further west. ah, but too many have been forced to flee their homes escaping violence, conflict and poverty. but in the last decade, weather related crises have become a primary trigger for the displacement of people as droughts, hurricane and floods besieged communities. hoot lines travels to the front lines of the climate crisis in central america to see how it's appending lives,
8:16 am
and fueling migration exit on doors. a climate in crisis on al jazeera. ah ah ah, you're watching out, is there a mind of our top stories this our acts of a say another 4 people have been shot dead in sudan during protests against the military coup. hundreds of thousands demonstrated must been described as most significant challenge to military leaders since they seized power on monday. the u . s. and e, you have agreed to ease tariffs on steel and alimentary imports. the deal avoids ear retaliatory measures on us products, which were due to go into effect in december. late is at the wells top economies
8:17 am
have agreed to introduce a global corporate tax for multinational companies meeting in rome for the g 20 summit. that also discussing the climate crisis. well, the focus of those leaders will now shift from rome to glasgow as a you and climate summit gets underway. the meeting has been described as a make or break moment for the planet. that clark has the latest from glasgow to say there's a lot at stake here and glasgow. busy is an understatement, the science tells us what needs to be done, and we'll see in the holes behind me over the next 2 weeks. if national leadership have what it takes to step up, the world is overheating and extreme weather is already hitting hard. and to demonstrate the importance of this conference, we returned to every year in greece scene of those devastating wildfire in the summer where the still picking up the pieces sh. in early august with temperatures at unseen highs,
8:18 am
wildfires ripped across southern europe. the land was parched and the fires quickly spread. northern heavier in greece was a hardest hit. inferno lasted for 2 weeks, thousands were evacuated. today you can see what's left. 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 mud slides defies. have destroyed the lands, natural ability to withhold water to act as a flood defense system. the noun, periods of intense rain, the water just cascades of these hill sites. so they using the dead trees to shore the soil and the land intact. it is hard,
8:19 am
exhausting work, but vital to preserve what's left and encourage regeneration of the forest. a big part of ebay as forest economy has been obliterated. cost as i own use, livelihood comes from his bees who make honey from the resin of pine trees, or used to. 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 ever. 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 georgia's agnostic but not in the more. he also lost a fit of his goat, her to the fires. across the island, more animals died than survived. but 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 need to go by so that things can return to how
8:20 am
they were helping people around the world to adapt to and mitigate against catastrophic events. like this is a big part of the climate conference in glasgow. so what a success caught $26.00 looked like the science tells us we need to prevent temperature through rising beyond ideally one and a half degrees celsius. for the 2021 production gap report shows that current government plans will produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels required to make that happen. so in glasgow, we need a strong declaration that commit to net 0 missions by 2050, as well as big reductions by 2030. 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 . we're right now, the omens here in glasgow not good. just this week. we heard that even with the latest global commitments to cut emissions, we're still heading for $2.00 degrees celsius. a, remember, the target is one and
8:21 am
a half degrees. and the $100000000000.00 a year promised by rich nations to developing countries by 2020. well, that won't arrive now until 20. 23. trust is a limited commodity here in glasgow and it will be a long, hard battle to reach the agreement. the world needs the you guys prime minister says he can't rule out taking legal action against france as a post breaks at fishing, dispute continues. ref got west early this week when france seized a british vessel herself threatening to blank ports, an increase check, some boats, and laurie's, if the u. k doesn't cross more licenses to french fishing vessels. alexia braun has more from france, frances laid down an ultimatum. if its fishermen did not get the licenses that they say they deserve, and that they expected under the post bricks at tre, dale by tuesday, then ports like this one will be at the center is what they call in targeted
8:22 am
measures. british fishing vessels will not be able to dock at ports like this. they'll be tough. a longer health and safety checks on trucks going in and out of port from the u. k. also, versus fishing vessels will face tougher security checks if they're fishing and fringe waters. boats like this one, this scarlet troll that was seized earlier in the week accused of fishing and french waters without a license. and its been caught up in a escalating dispute between france and the u. k. over access to british waters waters off the coast of france, including the island of jersey, which fits just about 22 kilometers off the coast. now the french president m l mccomb has said that this route is actually a test of the case global credibility. he's told a newspaper that you can spend years negotiating this trade deal. and then within a matter of bumps decide which, but you want to stick to, depending on which bits suit you best. he says that is not an example of good character. and the french prime minister john caustics,
8:23 am
has reportedly written to the european commission, asking for it support and saying that it must demonstrate that there is more damage by leaving the european union than by staying within the block. but there are also concerns here in france and ports like this in french fishing communities, up and down the coast. that if the measures do go ahead on tuesday, as france is straightening actually will be the ports, it will be the fishing communities and consumers who end up paying the price. polls of opened in japan's general election as voters decide whether to keep the countries newly appointed prime minister, the governing liberal democratic party has been led by from jo, cuz she does since he one of a just weeks ago, a sluggish economy. an corona virus recovery is expected to hit the policies popularity. china has started rationing diesel. a nationwide energy shortage has led to a surge in demand for the fuel on a rise in prices. because she knew you reports from beijing. these truck drivers
8:24 am
are used to criss crossing china, driving hundreds of kilometers every day, but a nation wide shortage of diesel fuel has changed that. or you will go to the me. oh, i'm scared to leave beijing under dr. long distances. some petrol stations have run out of diesel fuel. the machines are closed. 2 days ago, i drove south to whole bay province and ammonium paddle stations didn't have any. the shortage has been accompanied by a sharp rise and prices. since january, the cost of diesel here has increased by about 30 percent, a bit petrol station customers limited to buy just $200.00 leases of diesel fuel. but outside the capital, the supply problem is month was with some supply with having to wait days to refill . there have been long lines of vehicles that petrol stations and china's southern and eastern provinces due to rationing. many drivers say they can only refuel for one day's journey, which means cross country deliveries are taking longer to arrive. china is in the
8:25 am
middle of the power crisis that is triggered blackouts in many cities, shortages of coal and natural gas have led to a surge and diesel consumption. factories and businesses have turned to diesel power generated to maintain operations, draining supply. the 2nd reason is probably because a lot of these are, is being re routed to the agriculture sector during this harvest season, to basically support our grain, trying and to prepare for planting, winter cross. and on the, on the supply side, basically, the domestic supply for diesel has been going down because china has asked for a lot more, b o, a, to the rezo to, to the rest of the world. some estimate china's diesel stop pals to be at the lowest level and at least a year. environmental crackdowns on crude oil production in some regions have worse than the shortage. the government has asked chinese refineries to increase
8:26 am
production and imports, but this would be enough to contain the shortfall. experts warn that scarcity of diesel is likely to last for months and could worse an existing problems in the global supply chain. katrina, you out a 0 paging. colombian police have sees more than $2.00 tons of cocaine in the tourist city of catania, that india's offices found almost $2300.00 packages and a container bound for rotterdam. benevolence. the seizure is worth a $100000000.00. colombian authorities have confiscated $302.00 tons of cocaine so far this year. so like of those young days received about $2.00 tons and gross weight of cocaine. hydrochloride that the drugs came from the port of curriculum ecuador, he met with the final destination being the port rotterdam in the netherlands. you know, this drug was possibly going to be distributed in turkey, spain, italy, and albania, argentina as g to make a payment on a,
8:27 am
it's $45000000000.00 debt to the international monetary fun, but many in the country want to see a freeze on re payments because of a rise in hunger poverty and rampant inflation. danios weimer reports from when is it the q every weekday, outside the little star soup kitchen on the outskirts of when osiris ali to day were married and her neighbours arrived. there was nothing left with them in their casino, authentic better marianne, which they were supposed to have cooked plenty, but a lot of people turned up and we were a bit late. but they gave us some packets of food which will cook at home. it's probably all the eat until the soup kitchen reopens, serving 70 families with food given mostly by the local authorities. supervisor, marianna, blames inflation for the increase in hunger or the nutritional value of what they serve, diminishes valuable, give, or the last element. every day you go to the market and you'll find the price today
8:28 am
is not the same as the price yesterday. it's very common. prices rose 3.5 percent in september. more than 50 percent over the past 12 months. isn't a good a more hello fresh. what we'd like is that people can buy what they need to know. they'll be able to eat nothing more. just the basics, the things we need to live a normal life, though. yeah. not a much over 40 percent of argentines live in poverty or more than half of children under 14 years old. don't have enough to eat this for many. as the last resort, the offer of a bowl of rice which will lock will contain something you tricia's to get them through the day. because inevitably, the fight just to keep going will continue to morrow. the government last week for the price is of 1400 essential items in the battle to control inflation. it is blighted argentina for generations. some people say it's
8:29 am
a race between her wages and prices and other income, slight pensions, and, and in the meantime, you somehow are exposed to loss isn't burgess in power that then you can try to recover and even anticipate freed union. so regular protest calling for fair a wage is to keep pace with inflation. they say that should take priority over re paying argentina's debt to the international monetary fund. i just go, it's a scam and paying that debt is incompatible with ending poverty and destitution. all containers, historically volatile economy, was hit hard by the coven, 19 pandemic. it's emerging from that catastrophe, only to have to deal with 2 of its traditional enemies. a massive debt burden and rampant inflation. and china out a 01 osiris,
