its beauty was one they all could agree on more difficult, was hammering out a concrete plan to tackle the climate crisis. the final communique characterized by compromise and vague language stated that member countries are committed to reaching net 0 emissions or carbon neutrality. by or around mid century, they did agree to stop funding the building of coal plants and poor countries. they set no tar. however, for phasing out domestic co use, italian prime minister, who hosted the summit, tried to focus on what he saw as success, salary. she deep in this sense, so deep, we managed to keep our dreams alive, to commit to further measures and gigantic allocations of money for the pledges of reductions. and that's the success given that in recent months, it seemed that the emerging countries in particular, had no intention of making the commitment. and these british prime minister boers, johnson was clearly disappointed for the groups failure to make more ambitious
2:03 am
commitments. the solution to climate change is clear. it lies in consigning dirty fossil fuels like co to history in ditching gas guzzling modes of transport. and recognizing the role that nature plays in preserving life on this planet. leaders acknowledged the need to close the cobra, 1900 vaccine gap by helping to boost supplies with the goal of vaccinating 70 percent. the world's population by mid 2022. important talks took place on the sideline sunday. us president joe biden highlighted the environmental benefits of a deal. he announced with the e u. that road back trump era, tariffs on steel and aluminum. the united states, in your opinion, have agreed to negotiate the roles 1st trade grant based on how much carbon is in a product. environmental groups are concerned that if the g 20 a group of 19 countries in the e, you can't make binding commitments, you'll be even tougher for delegates from 200 country. now,
2:04 am
meeting in glasgow to agree on concrete steps to keep global warming at 1.5 degrees celsius. scientists say that's needed to avert the worst projection of climate disaster. adarine algebra, rome. the leaders also reaffirm their commitment to countries a $100000000000.00 annually help developing nations fight global warming. earlier we spoke to the president, i'm allowing you told us that financial aid is key to helping poor countries deal with the climate crisis. if you're talking about new technology, because we still need to have electricity, we still need to have industrialization. we still need to have a food sufficiency, so that people move away from subsistence farming to farming that is commercialized and mechanized. now how do you do that without the power? now the new technology is they are extremely expensive. if we don't have financing
2:05 am
with debt levels that are choke in such nations as i represent, it's impossible. with the g 20 summit wrapped up the focus now tense. the u. n's, climate talks in glasgow, our environment and it's a nic clock, is that they were hoping that they would use the g twenties as springboard or of momentum into coat 20. say something. everybody's very disappointed with it is give it some perspective. so you had the parts agreement back in 2015, where the world agreed to keep the temperatures from rising beyond 2 degrees celsius, ideally one and a half to re celsius. 6 is all we now know that to to re celsius is too much. we're already at 1 point one milli, 1.2. and already we've seen catastrophic, extreme weather, especially this year. so for the g 20 to grasp to acknowledge that 1.5 is the target is a good thing, but it doesn't have enough half to what were the words urging meaningful and effective action. but agreeing few specific measures i spoke to one, observe
2:06 am
a hair and she said that if the g $22.00 is meant to be a dress rehearsal, the cult $26.00, and they fluffed their lines. so as world leaders shift their attention from the g 20 and others around the world, join them here in glasgow over the next couple of days, you can be sure that the developing nations will be exerting as much pressure as possible for the leaders, especially of the big mrs. to up their commitments while the poor at asians, the well the looking to cope $26.00. looking to this conference, a full world leaders for nations around the world as a step up their action and help them out to help developing countries. the head of the world meteorological organization has warned, the planet is headed into uncharted territory. as temperatures continue to rise, these make up the trend in climate will continue for the coming case anyhow. so we will see more climate related challenges. and the, the bad news is that we have reached such a high concentration of carbon dioxide that the melting of laziness and snow and
2:07 am
ice and sea level rise will continue for much longer time for the coming hundreds of years. let him thank. he's a coordinator of the global campaign to demand climate justice. he says the us isn't bringing nearly enough to the table ahead of the cult 26. of course we're watching the us because there's a lot of fun therapy, mid a bite. it's returned to the fold, the pirates agreement after the wilderness years at the trump regime. but unfortunately, joe biden is not bringing anything that even remotely resembles the united states. it's their share of climate auction where we were, the dentist gets the largest star polluter. earlier in the report was mentioned that production gap report in that you can see the united states is commitment to climate change amounts to increasing its production of fossil fuel. in the next decade, so it's, it's a bit rich for joe biden to come to glasgow and hector other countries in
2:08 am
particular, developing countries to increase their ambition and, and be carbonized on the similar time scale to the united states. when the united states has been the biggest polluter for so long in this process in this space, in particular, also really the biggest believe the biggest lie garden and drive on ambition has been many cops in the past where the essentially been told by other countries get out of the way, please, because you're really blocking anything that could be considered progress. so when, when mister biden comes, i'm sure there will be a lot of noise and he will be celebrated by some just for not being trump. unfortunately, that's not good enough for people around the world to already a one degree warming, 5th thing, just unimaginable suffering. the sudanese teachers can, i say, has called for
2:09 am
a strike and all state, so sued on that comes a day of the hundreds of thousands of people. riley to denounce the country's military takeover. at least 4 people will killed him. morgan has more from caught him where on one of the main roads incident, capital hudson, central business district, and normally on a normal day around this time, which is mid afternoon in hot assume the roads are jammed with scars and the shops are open. and that's because this road connects to many state institutions and many banking institutions in the heart of the capital. but right now, there are very few cars on the street and many shop remain closed. and this is a week after the military takeover. now today is the 1st day of the work and we many people here say that they're very wary and they're very uncertain of the coming days. it's also they often nationwide protest people calling for the release of prime minister, the lamb bill, and his cabinet members who arrested on monday when the military took over many

2:12 am
demanding more than that now. and if we look at the balance of power, believe the rest with the protest. so the protest movement is not just calling for a restoration of the power sharing agreement that existed between the 2 to the military and civilian is calling now for the military to be pushed out of that power sharing marriage altogether and for, for civilian leadership to take over and if you are p at the regional governmental mora has called on all residents who are able to fight to take up arms rebels from the t great people's liberation front claim to be in control of the strategic town of bessie. that's been denied by the sub of a statement from the regional government says the t p l f, rape to him, and destroyed infrastructure and looted property fighting has moved into a m r and i'm far regions off. the rebels took control of t great in recent months. to trains in the u. k. have collided, some local media are reporting the 13 people have been engine. the trains crushed

2:17 am
a contest between political parties, but also a struggle against voter apathy. especially among young voters who feel particularly disengaged. you horny there by this campaign in the run up to sundays pole was aimed at encouraging more young people to vote for court having ruled 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 the other parties will need a liberal democratic party is good enough, some of us 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, the victory is indeed led by the set back of the oppositions mother seen as

2:20 am
you as president joe biden. as hell talks with the circus president rich of type or the one on the side lines of the g 20 summit, it comes at a precarious time. the u. s. a turkish relations. as result of that report from the stumble. this is the 2nd time that present ad one and present by then have one 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 prison. this 2 presents are going to meet again, so their expectations 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. the relation between teeth, these 2 countries are strained over several issues, regional issues and domestic issues. human rights in the country and also regional issue such as east mediterranean, syria, north africa, and so on. but 2 days out, 2 days a meeting was quite important and not only in regards to jas, turkish relationship,
2:21 am
but also for the nato as well. because the growing differences between these 2 countries are put in 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 positive by the turkish side. and also the turkish, i says that add one i 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. hundreds of migrants of disembarked with turkish flag, cargo ship in greece. the vessel was carrying around 400 people when it sent a distress signal on friday. its engines had failed in the international waters, navy island of crete. it's been turned to a safe anchorage near the turkish coast, and those on board had been taken to a migrant facility. athens says turkey has refused to take the ship and its passengers back despite to 2016 agreement, which obliges it to do,
2:22 am
sir. john surplus is following the story from athens. the official version from the helena coast guard is that among the nationalities on board. and this is just an early estimate. our pakistan is afghans, lebanese egyptians, iranians, syrians and bangladesh is. 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. so there are many questions about what actually transpired on this voyage. the greek authorities to confirm that they did attempt to return the boat to turn to turkish, hover, 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,
2:23 am
but were not told when those initiatives took place. 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 gree quarters are now a state sponsored operation boxes. governments, as his reason agreement with supporters of band political party, they were marching towards the capital demanding the release of their detained leader. cal height has more from one after intense negotiations that lasted for over 12 hours later into the night or the government on the committee announced that they had reached an agreement with the proscribed derek, a la bag budget on or to call off if rotate details of that agreement have not been di wise. it should be remembered that for the past due week,
2:24 am
rob will be in day and its lum abad. have been cut off from the rest of the country . this particular project has already caught hundreds of millions of dollars and lots. is there a container full of goggle, which i've been detained and i used as roadblock the people of gotten it. some abad have eved a sigh of relief. as you can see, the traffic is now coming back to normal that they go to 40, they're still on alert. everybody will now be watching to see how this agreement is implemented and render marjorie will be able to go back from. what did i bought from where they were threatening a marge on islamabad? so indeed, an interesting there rela men and some relief, as far as this particular knew, this concern for communities across the globe. hope world leaders at the cops on it can provide solutions to defend them from extreme weather events in malawi and any $1500000.00 people depend on lake chiller,
2:25 am
but less rainfall in recent years is led to dangerously low water levels and that's affecting livelihoods. hurrying, we toss a report from malawi, wilson city, my remembers the time we left sheila mallory 2nd biggest lake, nearly disappeared. temperatures got extremely hot and there was a little rain. he and his friends are fish here since they were boys, just like they, fathers and grandfathers did. they say the drying of the lake has become more frequent than usual. pushing a gleeful, there is a difference. they used to be a lot more fish. there were only a few of us, so there was no of a fishing. now the population is boomed. there's also climate change. last year the lake dried up. the world banks is nearly half of africa's population loose below the poverty line. and many depend on rivers and lakes for their livelihoods. when full leg, sheila is approximately 60 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide, but he keeps shrinking. if the fish in the lake continued to disappear is not only
2:26 am
the economy that will be devastated, but entire communities. fishing is how many people here survive is what they been doing for generations. one and a half 1000000 people live in the areas around the lake, children basin people at my disability. she buy stock from fishermen to feed customers at her restaurant. and melissa, when the men don't bring back much fish, my business suffers. that means less customers and not much money for my children. live scientists, they africa, is the continent most affected by climate change and also the least responsible for it. you're looking at people not being able to do other used to do before, and the income levels continue to go down and that already also exacerbates is do with her poverty. so it's a big problem at the moment. so we hope that we can be able to, to find out some solutions to this families out here are away their way of life is changing and that they may have to find alternatives to fishing, such as farming an option. many say they are seriously considering harder matessa
2:27 am
al jazeera leg. sheila maloney exploiting national natural resources is important faculty growth in many parts of the world. despite the effects only environment and climates and in ecuador, illegal mining has been a way of life for decades. but now their affairs that government plans to issue more international licenses will cause more damage to reasonable reports from the city of us world us a community this resume, we advance of large mining communities. this is the pacific william forest. and there we are filled with wild life and unique vegetation. it is slowly being devastated. bulldozers are used to divert the river as illegal miners tried to find gold. and no one has been doing this for 12 years. he says he rents the equipment and hires members of the community to help out on that much demo. we bring a machine and we make a whole and then we get the material and start building
2:28 am
a pool. and then we start extracting when we get 150 grams of gold or so, then it's worth moving somewhere else. the 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. so then 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,
2:29 am
there are abandoned fools, allegedly filled with a chemicals used in the process to extract gold, eddystone, and appa is the leader of the church indigenous community. he says he's concerned, as they look on them, is hillary, you're the reverse contaminated it. you 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 am 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, pressing his air 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 equals endemic problems. luckily, because you're busy or if they want to tell us that exploiting these resources will
2:30 am
solve our problems of 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 are incapable of thinking. an economic model that is not only extracting nature's resources because that's where our problems lie. it 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 just cedar. it's made us equality. ah . this out there and these are the top stories. world leaders meeting at the g 20 so it's in rome. i've agreed to keep global warming at 1.5 degrees celsius. but as the conference wrapped up, they weren't able to make a firm commit.
