9:02 pm
as for retailers santo ah, where we begin in glasgow were more than $120.00 world leaders have gathered from what's described as a make or break moments for the fight to contain global warming. precedents and prime ministers arrived with messages making clear the severity of the climate emergency. but it's far less certain whether they will deliver the action needed to stave off catastrophic levels of warming. or diplomatic editor james base begins are coverage from glasgow. ah, intense diplomacy ahead of this event has been going on for years. this has been billed as the conference that can save the planet. it's host the u. k. prime minister, making the point that the city where it's being held glasgow was the place where
9:03 pm
the steam engine was invented. 250 years ago, triggering an industrial revolution that started the climate crisis. yes, my friends, we brought you to the very place where the doomsday machine began to tick. humanity has long since run down the clock on climate change. it's one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock and we need to act now. the skimming and the warnings of what is at stake here, continued this from the un secretary general. you, our addiction to fossil fuels is pushing humanity to the brain. we face a stark choice. either we stop it or it stops us. we are digging our own grapes. u. s. president joe biden came to glasgow with, unlike his predecessor, donald trump, a strong commitment to fight the climate emergency. but without the tools to do so,
9:04 pm
his green policies depend on a massive spending package that has already been paired back and has yet to pass congress. there's no more time to hang back or shoot an offense, or argue amongst ourselves. this is a challenge of our collective lifetime, the existential threat, threat to human existence as we know it. and the president told delegates the eyes of history were on them. but president biden's own eyes were the subject of speculation on social media. did he doze off at one point as he listened to the speeches here in glasgow, there'll be 12 days of long, intense negotiations for this vital conference to be a success. all the stars need to align, but some powerful leaders like president, she of china and russia as president putin are not here. and there's not been the hope for momentum ahead of caught 26 over the weekend in rome. the leaders of the
9:05 pm
most prosperous nations on the planet met. they said all the right words about the climate, but they didn't take the action that was needed. according to environmentalists. living on the front lay mia motley, is the prime minister of barbados, a small island nation that was battered by a hurricane in july. court read. court read to the g 7 countries. court read. court read for the g 20 earth. the ha, that's what it said. earth to cop for those who are ways to see for those who have is to listen. and for those who have a heart to fear, one point size is what we need to survive. the urgency of the situation is obvious, but it's still not clear. there's the commitment by all nations to try to fix things. james bayes al jazeera glasgow. while our environments had, sir nick clark continued our comp 26 coverage light from glasgow. nick,
9:06 pm
how are you? thanks very much. i had lots of bold, impassioned speeches on day 2 of the you and climate conference here in glasgow. but then un prime minister and remedy came to the stage, came to the podium. and just before we go to eclip of his, remember the key target here is to get all the countries agree that net 0 should happen by 2050. he really changed direction on that and said that he's gay for 2070 barra. india will fulfill 50 percent of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030. between now and 20. 30 indian reduces total projected carbon emissions by $1000000000.00 tons by 2030. and you will reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by 45 percent. and by 2070 in, you will achieve the target of net 0 emissions. 20. well,
9:07 pm
let's explore this further. take this on. we can speak to at peter bets and he's an associate fellow in the energy and environment resources program at chatham house. and you were also former lee because shade her with the e. u in the u. k. see exactly what's, what are these that climate campuses? so 1st up, the indian p. m does going for net 0 by 2070 i, they had not she come up with any pledge to effort tobin neutral at any point but not the half, but it's 2070 which is 20 is 2 decades after the target here, which is 2050 thanks nick, my media reaction is actually this is very positive step on this lady. i think if you'd, if you, if you look back a couple of years ago we had about a hold of the world emissions covered by net 0 targets. we've now got 85 percent of the world's emissions covered by net 0 targets is, is, this is an absolutely unmistakable signal direction at the world's economy is moving bots to achieve or to keep one and
9:08 pm
a half degrees celsius in touch. what's it going to do to that? is it, is it going to scamper, the chances of that happening? it is not a joy. i mean, i think, i think when, when we talk about keeping 1.5 alive, we're not suggesting we're gonna sold everything in this meeting. so, you know, i personally attach more importance to the, to the 2030 talk. it's the talk that countries at the set for 2030. busy actually we've got some progress there, but nothing like enough. we're going to leave this meeting having made progress, but we are not fully on track for 1.5. so when we talk about keeping 1.5 alive, we mean we make as much progress as we can can. and then we come back for more and we and we double down to what we've already achieved. maybe also been told to talk about climate finance and demanding 11 trillion dollars to be made available for developing nations. it's not realistic. is it not? i think it is realistic. i think that, you know,
9:09 pm
clearly developed countries have to deliver on their commitment to mobilize hundreds in a year. and it's regrettable that they did that late. and i know that discussion about whether it should be met, on average, over the period up to 2025. but when you talk about these much bigger numbers, really, all these merging economies are going to be investing truly in any way develop their economies are growing, building their structure, the, the, the objective is to shift the infrastructure investment which is happening anyway and make it low carbon climate resilient, and increasingly we're seeing it needed cost more, in fact, to even cost less in many instances. renewable energy, for example, now much cheaper than coal. in most parts of the world. we've had no new commitments, no further embroidering of china's position. how much of an issue that i think that's, that's, that for me is a much bigger issue and is frankly disappointing. you know, i was quite pleased with the leadership that president she showed back in september
9:10 pm
of last year when he announced and 0 goal for trying to to 2060 but i really was hoping as many, many other there. busy were for a significant type thing. if china is talking 2030, we've seen very, i find a disappoint saying lack of leadership from thomas johnson biden. don't ask him for all evoking future generations. that the ones at most at risk here at what is the, the best steve extensive youth movement that you'd like to visit, were seeing her can expect from his conference your i think, you know, a lot of a lot of what this conference nice needs to deliver was done as we came in before we got here. we've got commitments from most of the big developed economies except australia, i'm afraid to say pretty well. they're emissions by 2030. that's a step forward. we're now seeing some of the big emotion economies make our business commitments. that's great as well, but it's clear that we don't have remotely enough yet to put us on track. so we
9:11 pm
need to bank what we've got. i think we've got some quite exciting announcements coming in the next week or so on reducing deforestation. committing to phase out in 10 combustion engines, phase fossil fuel find financing using me, faint emissions. i think these can build on those n d c. but i do think at the end of this call, there's going to have to be a conversation which many of the vulnerable countries are pushing for already about a much earlier return to the table than 2025. i think next year, over year off we didn't have to bite countries, particularly those who haven't stepped up to the plate to consider whether they mark you have to do some more. all right, lots of negotiating and battling and had to appreciate that much. thank you. all right, let's move on to the the best and the worst when it comes to emissions starting off, which i've just been talking about. china, they pumped more than $14000000000.00 tons of carbon dioxide
9:12 pm
b thing and other gases into the atmosphere each year. that's more than all developing countries combined. overall, china accounts around 27 percent of global emissions followed by the u. s. india, the e u and indonesia. although the united states and europe have been the worst polluters historically on the other end of the time and sewer and i'm, and they say they've managed to become carbon negative. well, now we're going to liberia to moreover, liberia as struggled to deal with environmental challenges. the 2020 environmental performance index, in fact, ranked to the worst performing country when it comes to sustainability. that's in now from nicholas. it is deep in labourers, gideon forest region that samuel dory comes to mourn his friends inside these coffins is maria. the farmer grieves of the pasture. renee, the village shopkeeper, the cause of their death, samuel says, is the nearby rubber plantation of the tire manufacturing company. firestone launch,
9:13 pm
it started with a coffee, says doorway accuses the company of toys and the water they used for drinking, informing odd if i her story is cook and robert bringing air and water pollution. i'm feeling hurt. these are my citizens, it was, i am very angry. i keep saying it over and over. i've got the government doesn't care about it yesterday since writing you see the destruction, our below. this is not supernatural. we will destruction. but from debt to water was the government knows of firestone is exploiting only a 5th of the 10000 square kilometer land concession, but it is expanding as the 99 year government lease was renewed in 2005. the company is clearing large parts of liberia as guinea in forest reaching home to where species of animals like the pig, me, hippo, and western chimps. their habitat is under threat environmental as say the rivers
9:14 pm
are contaminated with heavy metals, killing aquatic life. all this is supposed to be the lungs of west africa, but right here in the firestone concession, the air is thick with chemicals. it's things the eyes now in the statement firestone says, is doing all it can to mitigate the effect of climate change. and it is thinking to the current librarian laws to protect the environment. slobbery at rents at the bottom of the environmental performance index with researcher, saying that the country is behind its regional peers, particularly in protecting the bio diversity, ensuring habitat conservation, and preventing climate change. who are followed or who are all industrial, what bottom family, who have the, the grid up attention to destroy our if it is not us. and then when you make a report and think that we are doing less, what are you doing you another more as well? i bear is poor and indebted government has given almost half the countries land in concessions to multinational companies in order to repay its debt to international
9:15 pm
creditors. these companies are exploiting the countries rich natural resources and displacing tens of thousands of people in the process most are making the country's capital. their home. faced with this influx authorities are unable to manage the expanding slums in clear, the mounting waste with a capital barely one meter both sea level. the rising ocean is now destroying their homes. for liberians, there is no escape from the effect of climate change. now, doorway sees in this coffins a reminder for future generations of what caused his friends death at home and the pollution that can no longer be ignored or destroying the lives of so many nicholas hawk al jazeera and by monrovia well from liberia, now to the greenest country in the world, and that is then mock his journal. i'm standing quite literally at the height of
9:16 pm
environmental sustainability here on a very windy day. on top of a john mound, build above a power plant, a green power plant beltran not smoke, but steam into the air. and turning, copenhagen's, un recyclable waste into heat and power, foreclosed to a 1000000 homes and giving more than that. back to the people of the city as well. on one side there's a dry sky slope. and on the other side, there's an 18 meta high climbing wall. it's all parts of copenhagen's plan to become the 1st carbon neutral city by 2025. already a 3rd of all of denmark's power comes from renewable sources, and you can see perhaps out there in the baltic, strike the wind turbines doing their bit. we have visitors coming every day. we have families coming with children. when they take the elevator ride up, they can look directly into the stomach of the waste energy plan. you can hear the little children talking with the dad about what is going on in here. and he tells
9:17 pm
them that the garbage that we've throw out in the home is being driven here. it's being burned at 1000 degrees, soldiers and outcomes, energy and hot water that they can show. and now another thing the danes do spectacularly well is cycling and cycle pods. already up to 50 percent of journeys to work, take place by bike. it's hope that by 2025, 3 quarters of all journeys anywhere will take place on bicycles, on foot or on public transport. this country then at the forefront of a clean transport revolution as wealth. while a recent years receive more and more young people demanding action from their leaders, it's understandable after they're the ones who will inherit the outcomes of the world right now. let's hear from you. thanks chris, we've been speaking to hi, i'm an it guy says off, i'm 11 years old and i live in grove out india. there was a huge flood. we're villagers and villagers. there were washed away,
9:18 pm
saw so many of the vehicles and houses were destroyed. so people are dying because of climate change. i think people my age, they are being heard by the government and by adults do. so i think young people like me, they're using social media. do you know, raise awareness and contribute for her hello. my name is marissa polt. i saw them been playing. i'm a high school student. my grandparents told me this. it used to be land with the lodge community. yeah. it was a prosperous community with lots of merchant boots for many countries, hong kong, but as time passed and the land has a rooted, there people have had to move further inland rock when my family used to live right here next to the temple. but we have had to move from my my is another, i'm for
9:19 pm
a senior souls and i live in argentina, bilateral. i think young people are not being listened enough by adults. and i also think that a young people need help from adults when it comes to changing some bad habits. i would say the word slithers about climate change and tell them that we should warn everyone and remind them constantly of the big problem. this is my name is maya, i am 10 years old and i live in london the times now to make big changes and improvements to what we do normally to actually control climate change. we're running out of time, we need to do it now. otherwise, you probably never will. we have no planet b, and this is our home. so we won't take care of it because we're kind of stuck here forever. so if it's light trash and what are we going to do then? miamisburg now cool is that i am 12 years old. i live in a blue jack the capital of 9. yeah. in my face of origin which is kind of new. yeah,
9:20 pm
the serious case of climate change, leg, drought, and flood, which is affecting the food production. the adults are the one question problem by building south trees pollutes in the air, and it is a very helpful my message to the world. leaders in this meeting is that any decision they make day whose effect my tomorrow i will make a decision they've towards the future of the next generation is to let them i think somebody down here on the day 2 in glasgow, moore from well need us tomorrow see you then. okay, thank you very much indeed, nick clark and the team over in gloves. go to stay with us here on. i'll just point to her head on this new, including the supreme court. here's arguments on the texas law, the fans abortion such a heartbeat detected,
9:21 pm
keeping them in place and plus land size kill more than $100.00 people in the hall with the latest on the rescue effort. and his force, the playing teacher for partial in the song, in dying. inside the news with no regular home. the 5000000 people have no died from coven 19. that number comes and johns hopkins university. but the world health organization estimates the actual figure could be almost 3 times higher. and health authorities suggest virus was 1st identified in the chinese city of war. han in december 2019. almost 250000000 infections have been reported globally ever since will in the statements. the un secretary general antonio good cherish said this devastating milestone reminds us that we are failing
9:22 pm
. much of the world's or wealthy countries are rolling out a 3rd dose. so the coven vaccine, only about 5 percent of people in africa are fully vaccinated. adding that this is a global shame. priyanka gupta brings us this report. people gasping for air, families torn apart. and governments forced to close borders and order millions of people to be confined to their homes. the coven 19 pandemic, has now killed more people than any other viral epidemic in the 21st century. but almost 2 years since the 1st case emerged in china's won province, and a new current of virus spread rapidly across the globe. effective vaccines, developed at a record pace, seemed to be having some impact. at the moment, that average number of daily deaths worldwide is lower than what we were seeing
9:23 pm
last year. and a lot of that could be attributed to a combination of vaccination people. understanding how cobit in fix people and what they have to do to control it. but in russia, which produced was 1st, domestically developed over 900 job. many people are reluctant to take it, and that's leading to a record number of deaths. and after the initial optimism of a fast maxing rule out, if you are the parts of western europe and china infections arising, it will be very interesting to see what happens in, in the northern hemisphere as by and large, many countries have no restrictions at all. now and back things, obviously the whole population is not vaccinated and, and as they go into winter, people are closing the windows and doors and, and there's a higher risk of transmission. and in both households and businesses and social
9:24 pm
social settings. so i think where we're about to learn a lot and that is how much we can rely on the vaccine on to why richard nations are racing to give booster shots. poor countries, particularly in africa, are struggling to get supplies of vac scenes leaving millions of people, fundable conflict and poverty have already devastated health care systems in syria, yemen, haiti, democratic republic of congo, which have yet to vaccinate. even 5 percent of the populations. the lack of vaccination in the poll world has a huge impact in 2 ways. first up, many, many people are dying today that don't need to die. getting very, very sick and losing relatives. we still have a situation where nurses and doctors in some of these countries are not even protected against this kinda disease. the pandemic seems far from over.
9:25 pm
but some countries, like australia, thailand, unco dea, a preparing for a new way of life. reopening the economies with more vaccines and fewer restrictions, bianca, as 0 the trillions had been arriving back on whom saw a lot of parts of the international border were reopened. some of the world's toughest pandemic restrictions had left tens of sizes of people effectively shut of their own country. sarah clark reports. c jubilation and the motion is the 1st passengers touched down in sydney and reunite with their family. a band on international travel was lifted on monday, after more than 18 months. and now fully vaccinated strengthens arriving without having to quarantine. it's a pretty emotional day today. we lost my father in law last week, so happy feelings and said feelings of the same family kindly
9:26 pm
friends, sadness supply tens of thousands of astronomy and had been stranded overseas since the government closed the food is in march last year. caps on passenger numbers coming into a struggle, a port also caused problems to those wanting to return home during the pandemic. really good, i'm actually here for my desk. so i've been trying to come home for for now. lots. i'm limited to struggling systems, permanent residence and immediate family, who are now free to travel without a permit, but that doesn't apply to tourist visa holders and temporary residence. even when is trillions do get home, travel across the country is still a challenge. quarantine restrictions still apply and states like queens and where i am and the board is still closed in witness strayer,
9:27 pm
to those states and territories, they consider high risk like victoria and south wells. even the i c t a which is classified as a low risk jurisdiction. susie, katie isn't astronomy and living in hong kong. she's due to fly into sydney in 2 weeks time. but she says her travel plans a complicated by different rules in each state. it's absolutely a logistical challenge, you know, my family has spread across new south wales, south australia or in queensland. so in a say, firstly, you know, getting across the international border. you know, that was sort of had a number one and now having to navigate the different restrictions and the different approaches to domestic orders. you know, remains challenging. that's a hurdle. these were united families, a willing to either move for now or clock. i'll do 0, queensland, australia. so hey, john al jazeera quarter century milestone. auto 0 celebrates 25 years of getting

platter. was a mountains 1st and then it brings it all the way down towards normal chemist in the tempest behind will drop. but this is a hint of a change that could go a lot further south by the end of the week, reaching the gulf states maybe already showing shares in western iran. however, we may leave it there for the surf. tropical africa has seen the change in the wind direction or the seas coast no longer. the south is monsoon driven on shore breeze . a few light shows mainly the rain is further west, more or less from kenya, uganda, through burgundy, and round to was the congress is where the rain is concentrating. this is also correct for the season and rank own of course, it is welcomed. and so far south has come at the moment. beyond that, a dry looking picture. ah, the karone of iris has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe,
