proceed on al jazeera well is experiencing unprecedented extreme weather record temperature is being set glasses and i feel for deteriorating. busy false, remember the quote running go wold me, those are moving laws, go in the u. k. in a bit of fresh air out of a deal to fly from machine to port to late all over you and climate summit on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm mary. i'm noisy. welcome to the news ally from london coming up in the next 60 minutes. it's one minute to midnight on that doomsday clock. either we stop it or it stops us. 1.5 is what we need to survive. wild leaders may

compassion please for decisive action to stop global warming. as the cop 26 conference gets on the way in glasgow. india's place to cut its emissions to net 0 by 2070. missing the summits goal by 20 years or so, coming up, ethiopia is appointment is to calls on all citizens to mobilize as to grind, forces push south and say that considering marching on the capital and at least 3 people, a dead and dozens missing off to a high rise, apartment building collapses and then i jerry and sissy of lake oss. and in sport, houston, keep the world series alive again. st. lanton and primary lee quad taught and are searching for a new manager after sacking. you know s burritos santo. ah . the world is dropped to an environmental

doomsday device, the british prime minister says, but it's not too late to turn it off. opening the cop 26 climate summit in glasgow . boris johnson, welcome more than 20000 delegates telling them that they need to act. now they include more than $120.00 world leaders, such as us president joe biden, who said nations like his which had done the damage needed to get to work. he also apologized for president donald trump, pulling out of the paris climate accord. but not everyone has made the trip. rushes president isn't there, nor is china changing thing. whose country is the world's biggest polluter? the big names are only the center of attention for a couple of days though. the rest of the 12 day conference will be working through statistics and deciding on action. and this is the key, whether they can agree on the measures needed to keep global warming to one and a half degrees celsius higher than pre industrial levels. be all match, experts,

fear, catastrophe, and related research. yes, 2.7 degrees is actually where we are currently heading. al jazeera is james phase reports now from glasgow. oh, 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 the steam engine was invented. 250 years ago, triggering an industrial revolution that started the climate crisis. yes, my friends, we've 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 not to scan it. and the warnings of what is at stake here, continued this from the un secretary general. lillian,

our addiction to fossil fuels, is pushing humanity to the building. 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, his green policies depend on a massive spending package that has already been paid back and has yet to pass congress. there's no more time to hang back or sit in the fence 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 with some powerful leaders, like president she of china and russia. 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 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, one g 20 country india has committed at the glasgow conference to be net 0 by 2070 . but prime minister, near andrew modi's announcement will disappoint many putting his country 2 decades behind the un target of 2050 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. and you will achieve the target of net 0 emissions. 20 live in on the front lay mia motley, is the prime minister of barbados, a small island nation that was battered by a hurricane in july called red cord. read to the g 7 countries cord red cord. read to 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 laws who have a heart to fear. 1.5 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 bay's al jazeera, glasgow, or environmentalist head nord house is the founder and executive director of the breakthrough institute. that's a global research center which identifies and promotes technological solutions to environmental challenges. joins is from taos in new mexico. so as a hearing in that report have been both pledges start warnings and commitments that are being made 4201520162017. in this case, are they actually on track to meet these targets? well, they're not on track to me to limit warming to 1.5 degrees celsius about pre industrial levels. but it's worth remembering that the actual international target is to, to breeze. not 11.5. and over the last 5 or 6 years, we've had some sort of moving up the goal posts, in part by some of the small island nations, in part by climate activists and environmental energy and joe's. but the long

standing international target has actually been 2 degrees. that's what delegates ratified parents in 2015 and actually with india is announcement today of achieving net 0 emissions by 2070. that puts the world roughly on track to stabilize what will temperatures of 2 degrees above pre industrial levels. now you can question whether actually these sort of commitments which require decades and decades, it actually will actually be followed through on. but if you take the commitments that nations have made, which ostensibly as the purpose of this meeting, they are actually on track for stabilizing temperatures at to you agrees about pre industrial levels, you focus on the technology and many businesses right now are seeking to reduce

their emissions and one way of doing that is to use carbon capture, which removes the carbon that's already been released and, and stores it away safely. now, how if that was scaled up? is that a possible solution to reaching net 0 by 2050? yeah, i mean renewables, carbon capture nuclear. there, there are a bunch of these technologies that are out there. they still make up a relatively small share of the global energy economy. they account for about 20 percent or so of global primary energy. so you've got a long way to go and current capture becomes particularly important for things you can't electrify so. so carbon capture if we could scale it up, build the vast infrastructure of pipelines and underground storage

areas where you can safely storage with an important part of the solution. but we need like can solutions like that to actually get to 0 emissions. and what about criticism from climate research? as an environmentalist and campaign is that you, are you familiar with carbon capture and other technological solutions delay the inevitable? and they don't, they don't agree that it's the right approach to net 0. well, i mean, i think 1st of all, when you say net 0, there's a bit of oh, what's the word artifice going on there? in that when pick country, say they're going to get the net 0. it means that they're not getting to actual 0 emissions. that means that they're going to find some way to remove carbon from the atmosphere in the future. so i think one thing important distinctions between carbon capture and what people call carbon removal. and i think in the context that

you're discussing at what is really controversial is or, or what a lot of there are a lot of activists who don't like carbon capture either because it still involves fossil fuels, but carbon removal. i in theory, a lot of these net 0 commitment commitments. what's going to happen is they're not actually going to get the 0 and they're assuming that at some point later in the century, they'll be able to actually remove carbon from the atmosphere. and i think there's a reasonable, okay, my then no, no, that's not the case. so, so there is a lag between one you emit and, and when you hit particular temperature targets. so, you know, if, let's say we've cut global emissions by 80 or 90 percent in 2050 i, and we decided or for whatever set of reasons there was going to take us longer than that much, you know, significantly longer than that to get to 0,

you could actually start removing carbon from the atmosphere at that point. now the point that the activists make, and it's a fair hearing, is, you know, you're promising to pay me tomorrow for a hamburger today, essentially, as the old saying goes. and that shouldn't be, ah, ah, ah, you know, and you shouldn't count on that. and i think that's a fair criticism of a lot of the sensor net 0 pledges. thank you very much, ted. not house, appreciate it. happy to happy to talk with you today. some take a look at the best and wise countries when it comes to emissions than china accounts for around 27 percent of global emissions. it pumps more than $1414000000000.00 tons of carbon dioxide, methane, and all the gases into the atmosphere every year. at more than all developing countries combined, china is followed by the u. s. india and the e u. and then also indonesia. although the u. s. and europe have been the worst

polluters in the past at the other end of baton and sir, and not me who say they've managed to go carbon negative. oh, the 2020 environmental performance index ranked liberia the worst when it comes to sustainability, according to local residents, that a lot of the damage is being done by corporations who are allowed to exploit the regions resources. nicholas hack, travel to the outskirts of the capitol monrovia to speak to those directly affected . it is deep in liberia as gideon forest regions that samuel dory comes to mourn his friends inside these coffins is maria. the farmer grieves the pastor renee, the village shopkeeper, the cause of their death, samuel says, is the nearby rubber plantation of the tire manufacturing company firestone launch . it started with a coffee, says doorway accuses the company, of course, near the water, the used for drinking, informing or did. firestone is cook and robert bring an air and water pollution.

i'm feeling hurt. these are my citizens. it was, i am very angry. i keep saying that over and over the government doesn't care about yesterday, since right now, you see the destruction. i will be wrong. this is not supernatural. we will destruction. what 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 wear species of animals like the pig, me, hipaa, in western champs, their habitat is under threat environmental as say the rivers are contaminated with heavy metals, killing aquatic life. i'll. 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 sticking to the current librarian laws to protect the environment. liberia rents at the bottom of the environmental performance index with researcher, saying that the country is behind its regional peers, particularly in protecting the biodiversity, ensuring habitat conservation, and preventing climate change. what followed, or who are all of the industrial, rob, bottom, partly who have the, the grid up potential 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 concession stewed, multinational companies in order to repay its debts to international 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 aren't able 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. doorway sees in this coffins, a reminder for future generations of what caused his friends, death and the pollution that can no longer be ignored or destroying the lives of so many. nicholas hawk al jazeera and by monrovia. well, denmark is considered one of the greenest countries in europe, if not the world key to that is how it generates power. and how danish people get around as jona hall explains from copenhagen. i'm standing quite literally at the height of 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, recyclable waste into heat and power for close 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 the 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 way. so in your plan, you can hear the little children talking with the dad about what is going on in here. and he tells them that the garbage that we throw out in the home is being

driven here. it's being burned at 1000 degrees, celsius and outcomes. energy and hot water that they can show. and now another thing the danes do spectacularly well. cycling and cycle ponds already up to 50 percent of journeys to work, take place by bike. it's hoped that by 2025 a 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 well as a whole al jazeera copenhagen. so i had on this news out from london, where in nepal, which is struggling after days of flooding and landslides, which has killed more than 100 people. now the number of people known to have died of coven 19 worldwide passes. 5000000. and then later in sport, in the world series, houston remain alive, but still trail atlanta. those details ah

will to ethiopia now where to grind forces battling the government, say they've joined out with a rebel force from the aroma region and are considering marching on the capital. now earlier if european government accused to grind fighters of killing a 100 youths a claim they deny a government tweet says the killings have been in cambodia, a strategic town. the rebel group said it captured on sunday. and then in the last 24 hours, ethiopia prime minister abbe armored is called on all citizens to mobilize in the fight against the dig. ryan forces, which have also taken the town of dessie on a highway leading to addis ababa. if european army has been fighting the tig people's liberation front for nearly a year, tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced by the conflict. and many are starving. or get at you. rider is the spokes person for the to gray people's liberation front. he joins us on the line now from mikella. if i can start by

asking you about this allegation, that the t p l f has killed a 100 children or, or youths. what her, what information do you have about that quote, there was no conflict. there was no reason why our folks with kids, you know, so we took yes and 8, 10 o'clock in the morning and was there was by force this was crashed immediately and we was schools of enemy forces. and there is no reason why we didn't send youth that's simply making up school with that they still continue to reduce our forces. but the think mr. read you say that wasn't a gunfight, but they've been these reports of people in combo chest speaking to the f. b news

agency describing non stop gunfire overnight and into the early hours of monday. there was a guy supposed to be there that part of a conflict, but because so many guns and i think but that hasn't been any active fighting or conflict in the composure for today's role. so there's no government forces around the government forces in whitney and the closest government forces would be about 60 clothing away from combo. and there is no reason why why such conflicts would happen because government forces have been christ and there is no problem whatsoever of government forces was in this in composure. and no conflict waiver has been cut off in patients of in the sky. and however,

i problem the problem with the communications blackout in northern ethiopia in the fact that access to john, this is restricted, means it's difficult to verify any claims in including yours. yeah, that's what i'm talking about. i mean, my thing that's good as i can come up with evidence to, to, to back up my claim. but the fact that if he already has an agency is reporting about the days of used income based on claims by the government, it's absolutely boundless. for one thing, at least, i have access to have access to this in can i conduct though in this conflict because both sides have been accused of committing abuses in september. the associated pressing is agency reported interviews and more than a dozen witnesses in which they described to grind forces,

killing civilians and looting health centers, and basically targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. in the m horror region are forces very mostly interested in whatever traits that has been at that continues to be static, that i guess if, if lifted by our forces out of in it's not missing crime, i'm talking to people. and the reason why we should call it the same mistake, the same crimes that has how does i guess the people having to do that though? that could be a way or some off. good or can i cannot tell you because obviously your party to the conflict and the war has been going on for a year now. and the fighting is continuing to grind forces and now announced this

alliance with the rebel force from the aroma region. what are your, what are your objectives? what are your plans now? do you, are you going to be heading to add this amber by? i'll just have simple. do i, is i'm looking to, has been under siege for most a, you know, and this has been even more the has been even more springs then, especially with the forces from last june. and we have this seat on is broken. we have to make sure that our children, i'm not dying from, i'm going to start, we should, we have to make sure that the access to access the buyout. so we do what it takes to make sure that the cd is broken. if flatness monitoring, so this is what it takes to break to see when you have an objective for military victory beyond breaking the siege around to gripe. do you also plan on,

on reaching this of our view, set your sights on the capital. the if you continue to hold a lot of people, it does, we have to make sure that every major will have to be used to try lice. that's great. if not, it seems like the top of it is what it takes to try that. thank would. and if working with it and we are working with is what it takes, we went and linked to nothing to do without any thought on anything. but we focused on utilizing the 3 to that is that is that i could be proved if i because i have is have just the general side for a long time now for, for what over a year. now, we have to make sure that this doesn't exist anymore. kind of ask you what, what, what communication, the nature of your alliance with a rama forces we have,

what do you think you have with us? and can we say speak out for just physically leave it up and the rest? i don't think it's going to be of any use for your purposes because operation needs to be taken care of for me. but what, what i can do is what i wanted to physically give that was oil. and i'm going to be the best interest of the conferences. because even if the from the c one is concerned, i think it's gonna be pull out of the form for people like us to work with people who have some post to play in a future. and that's what we're trying to do. that's what you read. joining us on the line from mckelly. thank you. now a 21 story building in nigeria has collapsed killing at least 3 people. dozens of

people are thought to be trapped in the rubble building is reported to have been on the construction. not yet clear what causes the collapse. been recent efforts to demolish will reinforce unsafe buildings in the city with more than 80 demolish this year. i'm interested following the story from neighboring chad. what we know so far is that 2 people have been pulled out alive fast on the scenes while ambulances and emergency workers, but there was nothing much they could do. they tried to dig through the rubble with bare hands. heavy duty machinery started coming into the area of lagos, which is a high brow residential and commercial estate in mega city. and then the work started in earnest. looking at the rebel, the mountain of rebel, they in fact, needed much more bigger heavy duty commit to move the rebel in order to access the people who have been trapped inside the building. now it's not clear exactly how

many people have been trapped and emergency workers really silent about the number of people who've been killed because of this disaster. lagos is no stranger to this disaster. respecting the construction court has always been a difficult situation in lagos enforcement. despite enforcement such contravention, continue not only in lagos, but across the switches nigeria, people bribe officials to look the other way. while the, the goal key me things and making construction or constructing poorly built structures in leg was eventually these structures collapse and killed a lot of people every year. we read your stuff, such incidences. government sol says in yemen is saying that hoof missile strikes if had a religious school and a loss killing at least 8 people. 22 others were injured in the attacks in our job district, south of the city of marin lucy's began the push to take control of the oil rich province. 2 months ago. martin is the last stronghold of the internationally

recognized government is much more still ad for you on this is our francis fishing community feeling left at z as if government moves closer to an all out trade war with the u. k. o. projects in washington, his view i supreme court his arguments on the near total abortion band in texas and it's for the playing future. the barcelona star remains in doubt of he's diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. ah, has a big storm brewing just north of scotland is this and wrapping line of care that has its influence as far south as the mediterranean. but the real tight is in the, i suppose these white lines means the windy weather's across the british. charles,

however, by some irony, glasgow vicks the cop 6 will be sheltered from his blustery whether the light breeze the tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and generally fine weather. that won't be the case for all in this normally breathe . increasingly you're fine. sherry, weather down both sides of the british isles and the knowledge to the rain or moving towards western side of norway. you still got the suddenly breeze. it's not that cold who's kind of a viewers cold? it was faxed to the rather letting skies in the rain falling out of them. and he is the inference further south that cold air above means will be a lot of rain coming into the north of spain. the western side of france with a quarter wind. it looks like after wet monday, tuesday will be looking fine, which i'm sure is something of a relief. but on wednesday the rain comes back and this time the folks is western side of italy, yet more snow. be the 2nd dose in 3 days. huge amount in the alps. the southern slopes probably off the out the rate in africa which has been reluctant to go south is.
