5:02 pm
climate conference that's underway in glasgow. diplomatic editor james base has moved from ron. some of the g 20 leaders went for a picture in the center of rome in one of the most historic places, the trevi fountain. that's where you know, the tradition is to throw a coin into the fountain and make a wish, and i'm sure they wished for a green earth and protecting the planet. but campaigners say it's not about wishes or wishful thinking about actual action. and i think that is going to be one of problems from this g 20. that translates to glasgow. what actions are they actually promise them? what will those actions mean in terms of the environment? the metrics and all this a very difficult. what we're going to have is each country putting forward, it's a nationally determined contributions, what it's going to do to try to protect the planet, to try and reduce its emissions. but then it's up to scientists and scientists,
5:03 pm
models to work out what that actually is going to me in global warming. and what i think is likely in the next 2 weeks, as we head through the gloves go some it is, you're going to have disagreements between world leaders who say the action is great. it is a great step forward. and many campaigners who say it really isn't enough. while climate change was the main focus of the g 20 some and to other significant talks took place on the sidelines. us president joe biden met turkish president rachel type earl one, and they agreed to improve their strained relations. they spoke about the differences around the anchors, acquisition of a russian missile defense system, and it spreads to expel diplomats from 10 countries, including the us, taiwan, and tre. dominated as the us secretary of states that found his chinese counterpart and to be blink and told china both nation should fairly manage their trade competition. and bar johnson and a menu all ma cron again were at odds over the post bricks at fishing dispute
5:04 pm
between france and the u. k. okay, let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly hell kit who joins us live now from rome. hello that. kimberly. what will you tell us about this meeting between lincoln and the foreign minister? 11 of the reasons for this meeting was to make sure that some of the simmering tensions between the united states and china. do not ask layton really spill into open conflicts. so that is why the u. s. secretary state sat down with his chinese counterpart. we know that there are a range of policy issues discussed, but a big one was the issue of ty, wine were told from a senior state department official that in fact the secretary of state raised this issue and, and said to clear warning to china essentially that the united states will not accept any interruption of what it sees currently as the status quo. they're watching very carefully what they feel is an escalation in the taiwan strait. and
5:05 pm
so there was this clear message sent that the united states as opposed to any unilateral action by china against taiwan. so this was one of the key messages that was delivered. the other way to was on the issue of trade ad, the united states has for years been very upset with china's trading practices that they accuse china really upsetting the international rules in this or the norms of global trading. and so the message delivered by the secretary of state was one that they believe and will continue to support us interests and, and counter and take measures necessary to counter the chinese action. so the senior state department official saying that the discussions were very productive, but they were also very candid. kimberly, and among a very lengthy agenda, there's been an attempt to smooth over tensions between the u. s. and turkey. what
5:06 pm
more do you know about that from a u. s. perspective. right, well, what we can tell you according to the read out by the white house, is that the united states underscore the importance of the u. s. turkish relationship. but they also acknowledge their differences and you have to remember that the united states values and continues to note that it values the relationship of turkey because it is a, an important nato ally. but there have been great concerns on the part of the united states over turkeys decision to in the past purchase surface to air missile technology from russia. now why is that a problem to problem? because one of the sole purposes or one of the purposes of nato, is it really to counter russian aggression. so it's perplexing to have a nato ally like turkey make such a purchase. this isn't a new issue, but it's a simmering one. and so it was brought up yet again, the u. s. and talking about how they can manage their disagreements moving forward
5:07 pm
. but also recognizing that this is still some issue that needs to be resolved and will be worked through in a process that is underway, according to the, by the administration. very quickly. the other issue that they discussed how is with respect to human rights rule of law. most recently, in the past couple of weeks, there's been concern about jailing of a philanthropist, businessman, who's been in jailed since 2017 without charge. this was raised by not just the u. s. ambassador, but also france and germany. this caused tension, once again with these 2 allies. and so we understand the united states raised this as well, but did not raise the issue specifically, but spoke more in terms of the concerns about human rights. so this again was very frank and candid discussion, one between 2 friends that are looking to work out their differences and move forward, working cooperatively and give you the update. kimberly, how can life press in brian russell santa is in east temple with more on that meeting between biden and oto on from turkeys perspective. this is the 2nd time
5:08 pm
that prisoner won an prism by than had won a one a me thing. the 1st one was in june in a nato summit in brussels, and since then it was long awaited that present this 2 presents are going to meet again. so the expectation were quite high during the u. n. g summit in, in new york, but it didn't take place the meeting between the 2 leaders. but finally, it happened in rome. and relation between tis these 2 countries are streamed over several issues, regional issues and domestic issues, human rights in the country, and also regional issues such as east mediterranean, syria, north africa, and so on. but 2 days out, the 2 days a meeting was quite important, not only in regards it just turkish relationship, but also for the ne to as well. because the grow in differences between these 2 companies are posing a threat to, to, to ne, 2 as well. in that sense, we could see that these tools are particularly regarded as very constructive and
5:09 pm
posted by the turkish site. and also the tourist. i says that i wanna buy than has agreed to quit, to establish a common mechanism that would take over the, the dispute between these 2 countries. we do not how the details yet, but this establishment off a mechanism is also quite something new. the focus of world late is we're now shift from rime to glasgow. as the human climate summit gets and away, emitting has been described as a make or break moment for the planets. rising temperatures are affecting millions of people with floods. safest owns and wildfires causing devastation. listen, look up to 6 begins in glasgow to morrow. quite literally. it is the last chance saloon. we must know translate fine words into still finer actions. and as the enormity of the climate jelena challenge dominates people's conversations from news rooms to living rooms that as the future of humanity
5:10 pm
and nature herself are at stake. it is surely time to set aside our differences and grasp this unique opportunity to launch a substantial green recovery by putting the global economy on a confident, sustainable trajectory. and thus save our planet. and dow environment editor nick clark is in glasgow with move as me describe is the most consequential summit ever a turning point, perhaps for humanity. others say is not really important at all. it's not going to have any effect as just a talking shop. a, a coven melting point, a melting pot, if you like, for 25000 delegates who are stuck inside a tent for 2 weeks, and a more of an opportunity for bleed is to say more of their blah, blah, blah to quote, a famous you fact of his recently, but the sons tells us that there is no question that we need positive action here
5:11 pm
to say the least. is it even feasible? is it possible that speak to the green, please chief, or jennifer morgan, who's a veteran of these crops, you've been to all 26 of them. if such ever what, what's your expectation here, or we can make it a positive outcome? i mean, my expectation is that the leaders who calm are going to come and make commitments that will keep this 1.5 degrees goal in site that they're going to come forward. the develop countries and support the poorest countries on earth to deal with the climate emergency. and that we're not going to have rules that are going to open up some offsets, which are pretty dodgy, and can endanger the paris agreement. and that's all to play for. it's day one. yes, it's the world leaders arriving tomorrow. it's a pretty much procedural day to day. not a lot happening and we've heard from the mel devion for a minister obviously, or that is a nation very much at risk from sea level rise. we've also heard from the president of the un general assembly has been speaking as well. but all eyes on tomorrow with
5:12 pm
the national leaders arrived and give them national statements in what could be a tumultuous fortnight. moving on to other world news now, and the sydney's teaches committee has called for a strike in all states of sudan that comes a day after hundreds of thousands of people rallied, did announce the military tank over soldiers used to t gas and blocked major roads and gunfire was reported, at least 4 people were killed, had been, morgan has more for us on the fine from the capital cotton. this is normally the time of the day where you see a lot of cars on the street of the shop open. and we can count on, you can count the number of cars that pass by and if not, many, normally people are either on their way back home or on their way to see other assess. and you can see some kind of a committee. but since the military take over on monday and especially following yesterday's mass protest, there's hardly any kind of business activity here at the central business district
5:13 pm
. now they resistance committees at the grassroots committee with the dental level have called on the people in their neighborhoods and their residential areas to stay in their home and abide by the civil disobedience committee. the teachers union has responded and said that they will be joining at that call for civil disobedience. is also the pharmacists union was also called not to repeat, but for professes to continue setting up barricades in the residential neighborhood and continue that process until there was a return to the democrats process that was ongoing before monday school. so still their calls were supposed to be in many, many shop the business around the control business district here and assume remain close and not clear if people are staying away from work, whether it's because they are following the civil disobedience call. what they want to see know with it because be very, keep it a set up a residential level, residential neighborhood level is preventing them from coming to work in ethiopia.
5:14 pm
the regional government of em hara has called on all of its residents, were able to 5 to take up arms rebels from the to dr. people's liberation front claim to be in control of the strategic town of dizzy that's been contested by addis ababa. a statement from the regional government says the t p l f has right to women, destroyed infrastructure and looted property fighting has moved into the em herrera and the fire regions. after rebels took control of to cry in recent months. still ahead on al jazeera, the post wrecks a vision dispute between the u. k and france haves up as late as now argue over what was said during their meeting at the g. 20 plus i'm very have only took will region in one hour and the world is coming together to combat climate change i. tragedy is underway in one of them. most bio diverse regions in the world. ah.

the vincent flooding recently in west border in, in santa rack and some in west and java that the spread of class was just nothing particularly concentrated, but the folk are still focuses on that area. these orange tops are the deepest of the thunderstorm still in java. some degree in sumatra and again, weston borneo. it looks like the northern part of the philippines lose on is a lot draw that was not true for central and southern vietnam. the rain fell off. in fact, curious this look at the rain that developing in north vietnam and then curling into one g in the southwestern part of china. so far in both grilling and hanoi, there's been 2 half times the average that you are expected october says out of season rate, and we're going to november now. and it's still forecast right in the same area
5:16 pm
a bit more on season. now as we change from the southwest, the ne monsoon, the focus on where the rain should be falling, goes to the eastern side of the deck and platter. so down towards towel neither where there's a red warning red for flooding. but forecast wise, that's quite widespread potential goes a long way north up towards addition, over the next day or so. rest of india, the pole barn dash fairly dry at the moment. she is true mainly throughout middle east, except for northern parts of iraq, where there are flash floods. ah, the question the narrative. you don't have ways to shake weight or decent formation east real or not. you don't have any way to verify. identify who is telling the story their motivation. these are multi national corporations that are interested in profit. anticipate the consequences from the media was complicit in perpetuating this myth. i'm here to tell you that i think that many people died because of the
5:17 pm
lifting pace. deconstruct the media on al jazeera lou. ah ah. how are you watching al jazeera, i'm emily anglin, a reminder of our top stories. the sour? well, ladies at the g 20 some as you're calling for meaningful and effective action to ensure global warming is limited to 1.5 degrees celsius. but the final communicate from roman doesn't include a deadline for net 0 emissions. taiwan and tre, dominated, as the u. s. secretary of state as sat down with his chinese counterpart and to be blank and told china both nations should fairly manage their trade competition and
5:18 pm
presidents of turkey and the us have a great to improve their relations. joe biden, to rage up type ottawa discussed to anchor is acquisition of a russian missile defense system that led to turkey's removal from the f. 35. find a jet program. hundreds of migrants have a dis embark from a turkish flagged cargo ship in grace. the vessel was carrying around 400 people and sent a distress signal on friday after its engine found, the migration ministry says 6 passengers have been detained for questioning. grace is one of the main routes into the ear for migrants and refugees crossing from turkey. let's bring in john survivalists, who joins us live now via skype from athens. hello there, john. what more do we know about who was on board at his vessel? and the health of the passengers. well, the official version from the hellenic coast guard is that among the nationalities
5:19 pm
on board. and this is just an early estimate of pakistan is africans, lebanese egyptians, iranians, syrians and bangladesh years. but that remains to be confirmed in the breakdown in numbers also remains to be confirmed. apparently these people were provided with food and water of which they were short, while they were being towed to the island of course, where they are now being registered. and the operation, according to the greek authorities, started on friday morning, a turn. well, in the small hours, they didn't say exactly what time and ended in the small hours of sunday today. that is a difficult time frame to understand because according to the great greek coast guard, this operation was hampered by very high winds. bad weather, they were turning a boat at roughly 7 knots, which is a very low speed. ah,
5:20 pm
we are told that refugees of course, had problems on the way. so presumably there was a lot of starting and stopping. but even at that low speed going from an area south of crete to the island of course, shouldn't really have taken 48 hours. so there are many questions about what actually transpired on this voyage. there is an alternative version of advance provided by a g and boat report, a non governmental organization, which monitors activity maritime activity between refugees and coast guards in the gym. according to them, the turn operation actually started on thursday morning 830 and concluded this morning, but that's 24 hours that are unaccounted for all day thursday by the helen coast guard, which says things actually started developing on friday morning that says the helena coast guard is when he became aware of the presence of the more at 729, the turkish flagged cargo ship. so there remains the remains,
5:21 pm
the remain questions to be answered about what actually happened on thursday. the greek authorities to confirm that they did attempt to return the boat to target to turkish harbor, or what i was told by atlantic coast guard official. and i quote, there were initiatives on the greek side to return the boat to turkey, which were refused, but were not told when those initiatives took place. john, can you give us a broader context as to what's been happening between grace and tech in relation to these hundreds of migrants making miss janie? well, the story on the greek side has consistently since march of last year been that the turkish state is now aiding and abetting smugglers on the coast of asia minor. and that these various attempts to launch refugee filled boats into green quarters are
5:22 pm
now a state sponsored operation. what happened in march of 2020, of course, was as you remember, the attempted storming of the greek turkish border from the turkish side by refugees. with the encouragement of the turkish authorities, and that was taken as a turning point and touched policy by the greek government, which says turkey is no longer abiding by the terms of the e. u. turkey statement of 2016. according to which both the po for european union and turkey would do everything they could to hold back the refugees on their territory and only make arranged transfers of refugees to each other. so the greeks are saying to the rest of the european union, look, this is turkey now deliberately tried to send people into europe as a matter of policy. what appears to have happened with this particular boat. the
5:23 pm
more at 729 is that it appears to have been trying to go round creek territorial waters to italy and seems to have broken down on the way in high seasons. has happened a number of times in the last year and a half a with, with turkish launched vessels attempting to reach deeper into the european union. and by passing the atlantic coast guard, which has been putting out a sort of a solid wall, let say of monitoring, but also tainted by allegations of push backs. and in other words, attempts to push refugee filled boats back to turkey without 1st, ju julie processing them according to international law for potential asylum applications. thank you. the breaking that down, press john, se life ross in athens. thank japans ruling coalition is projected to cape its majority in the low house of parliament, but prime minister from you because she is liberal democratic party,
5:24 pm
is set to lose a number of faith in a set back for the later who only took charge a few weeks ago, rob mcbride reports, this is not just been a contest between political parties, but also a struggle against voter apathy. especially among young voters who feel particularly disengaged. you are on either like this campaign in the run up to sundays pole was aimed at encouraging more young people to vote. waco having rule japan almost continuously since world war 2. the liberal democratic party is seen by many is the only choice that's in spite of an attempt in this election by the opposition parties to coordinate that campaigns to win over l. d. p. c. panel. i don't have confidence in the other parties or need a liberal democratic party is good enough to mark it on. and so even though the l e p is winning big in recent elections, their support in the country is not necessarily high. historically speaking,
5:25 pm
the victory is indeed led by the set back of the oppositions mother seen as a test of newly elected prime minister fumey oak is shita. his government faces widespread dissatisfaction over its handling of the pandemic. he's got a relatively low approval rating, while many voters still seem undecided on him as a leader. many japanese ill, quite helpless about the fact that only one choice. you look at the policy that's announced by, for example, by the opposition, or is all wars less the same? and there's no eye opener. there's no convincing argument that's been displayed. and this, i think, is one of the biggest reasons why in the turn out ratio. still remains in the 30 percentile because she there is hoping the promise of a stimulus package to revive the batted economy will win support. oh yeah. we will distribute the fruits of the growth, which means that we will increase your income. i have been saying that we need to
5:26 pm
have this kind of economic policy the increasing cobra 19 cases during and after the controversial summer olympics, i did further economic painful businesses like memorial to knockers who sees no easy solution to japan struggling economy here. working from home has become more common and it affects us because salary men who used to go to work 5 times a week are not coming back in this election will likely cement because she does position as japan's prime minister or could mean he eventually joins a long list of short lived predisposes. rob mcbride al jazeera frances president to menu on the crown and the u. k. is boris johnson, have held talks after days of arguing over priced bricks and fishing rhymes too late is a grade to work towards a de escalation. you can say that was actively considering for the 1st time, invoking a mechanism for resolving breaks that disputes. earlier in the wake,
5:27 pm
france seized a british vessel. it's now threatening to block ports and increase, check some boats. if the u. k. doesn't grant more licenses to french troll is inequitable, illegal mining has been a way of life for many decades. now. there are fees, government plans to issue more international licenses, will create more damage to raise the bar reports from the city of morale. does it community that's resisting the advance of large mining companies? this is the pacific, or dorian forest. and there we are filled with wildlife and unique vegetation. it is slowly being devastated. bulldozers are used to divert the river as illegal miners tried to find gold, which f a noah has been doing this for 12 years. he says he rents the equipment and hires members of the community to help out. when the demo we bring a machine and we make a whole and then we get the material and start building
5:28 pm
a pool. and then we start extracting when we get a 150 grams of gold or so, then it's worth moving somewhere else. people like the lever spend hours next to the river, trying to find the scraps left by bigger miners. she shows us how she's able to find some gold particles that allow her to make around $20.00 a day and feed her 4 children, all of them and we don't get to work every day. we work one week and then that's it . then we have to find another area. we are told, some of the country's best gold is found here. lack of government controls, makes it easy for illegal activities to spread. look what's happening here. this is one of the most bio diverse regions in the world. this is the river and it's slowly being destroyed by even minors. at the same time, local families say that this is the only way they have to make a living. but it's having a huge impact on the environment. all around is he will community,
5:29 pm
there are abandoned fools, allegedly filled with a chemicals used in the process to extract gold, eddystone. and appa is the leader of the chatty indigenous community. he says he's concerned as to look on the miss hillary, you're the river's contaminated, it cannot bathe fish or drink water for 11 years. it's contaminated and we are asking children not to go to the river. madonna university research shows the water in the province of him. it alice has high levels of aluminum and iron. janet got a best lives in a nearby community. she says her children are showing signs of skin problems. president, he's had a more lasso once to increase mining and all exploration activity in the country, to jumpstart a troubled economy and to fight illegal operations. but experts say it will not solve equality endemic problems. luckily, because you're busy that is, they want to tell us that exploiting these resources will solve our problems of
5:30 pm
misery under development and that we will progress. but history tells us that has never happened because it's not the 1st time our elite ser, incapable of thinking an economic model that is not only extracting nature's resources because that's where our problems lie. if whether swain forest is among them or threatened in the world, poverty and employment and the promise of development are causing massive damage. the government, the state of fighting it, is desperate to bring international oil and mining companies and give it away. that is, i will, i'll, the cedar is made us the quality. ah, hello, this is al jazeera and you're watching. these are the top stories this. our world late is at the g 20 summit, calling for meaningful and effective action to ensure global warming is limited to 1.5 degrees celsius. the vital communicate.
