conference that can save the planet. it's host the u. k. prime minister making the point of the city where it's being held. glasgow was the place where the steam engine was invented 250 years ago, triggering and 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 now and the warnings of what is at stake here, continued this from the un secretary general. lilian, our addiction to fossil fuels is pushing humanity to the building. we face a stark choice. i, then 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 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. 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. what 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. 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 nor andrew modi's announcement will disappoint many putting his country 2 decades behind the un target of 2050 barbara, india will fulfill 50 percent of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030, between now and 2030 india will reduce as 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 spent living on the front lay mia motley as the prime minister of

barbados, a small island nation that was battered by a hurricane in july, called red cord red 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 the 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 those, the commitment by all nations to try to fix things. james bay's al jazeera glasgow . well, let's talk to brianna through an. she's an environmental advocate for samoa, and she joins us live, not from glasgow in scotland, been a good job you on the program. so in your speech to call 26 today you said that some i ones are not drowning, but they're fighting. and you clearly feel that young people have

a crucial role to play here. what is the climate message from young pacific island as to where leaders them 100 percent. this is a warrior high from young pacific islanders we are not drowning. we are fighting and really i think there's a misconception that we are mere victims to the climate crisis. but if you actually visit an island, you would see that there's so much resilience coming out of our communities. and your speech was listened to by president joe biden, even said david, out of breath, was in the audience listening to you. brianna. that must have made you a little bit nervous. but do you think your speech to cop 26 will make a difference to what happens this week? i can 100 percent say that i hope that it makes a difference. i chose specifically to talk about the importance of words. i only had 2 minutes and i thought, what better way to use it then to remind our leaders that what they do at hot would

determine the trajectory of the way our planet will survive. let's talk about samoa, because samoa face is a serious risk from climate change, about 70 percent of your country's population on infrastructure allocated in low lying coastal areas. how is climate change affecting some of them? i'm a changes in the everyday lives of, of us as island people because we are close to communities because we rely so much on our land in our ocean. when that relationship is changed because the climate is changing, our livelihood change. and so we see are horribly cheap, meaning our fishermen aren't getting as much fish. we have extreme weather like some contact me frequently, which means that businesses go out of business. family struggle are constantly in the state of adapting and having to the show resilience because of the climate crisis. and, and there were big promises made of the paris climate agreement back in 2015 to

reduce emissions. many of those targets brianna have not been met. what are your hopes and expectations them from? 26 is it's really the last chance we have to make a real difference to our planet. you know, one of my big hopes is that we can finally be honest with our failures. i think there's a lot of lip service about what has happened, even though it's small. we make it out to be big. but the reality is, we're very far behind. we're not going at the speed we need to be going. we do not have ambitious action, ambitious language, and we need to see that in order for us to meet the 1.5 target waterfront islands to survive. so i think that this call world beat as a truly honest about how far behind they are and how much work needs to be done. then we can finally get together and say, you know what, this is the plan. this is the compass. this is how we go forward and try and get

there as fast as possible, brianna for and really good to get your thoughts. thank you very much and for talking to roger 0, thank you. to ethiopia, now we're rebels and the to drive people of liberation from say they've joined up with the rebel forces from the country's most populous region. are mia? the t p. f says it's forces of see the town of con bolger and it's airport and the i'm hora region. while rebels in romeo say, they've see the town of can me say both towns are strategic points on the highway to addis ababa. meanwhile, if you will be a prime minister or the army has called in all citizens to mobilize and the fight against to grind forces, the armies been fighting the brian people's liberation fund for nearly a year. tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced by the conflict. ethiopia, as government is accused to grind fighters of killing a 100 youths income butcher get at your rate as the spokes person for the 2 dr. people's liberation front. he said those claims are absolutely false. there was no conflict, there was no reason why our folks with, you know, since we took

a look in the morning and was there was rooms, forces was crushed immediately and we was schools of enemy forces. and there is no reason why we didn't know since you could be gotten in there. that's part of a conflict because so many guns. but that hasn't been any active fighting or conflict in the composure for today's role. that is no government for the government, for anywhere near. and the closest government for would be about 60 coming away from home. and there is no reason why why such company could happen because government forces have been crushed. and there is no pros. i've got a government for dispos in this income budget. a 21 story building and nigeria has

collapsed killing at least 3 people. dozens are thought to be trapped in the rebel building and lagos is reported. have been done. the construction is not yet clear what caused the collapse, have been recent efforts to demolish will reinforce unsafe buildings in the city with more than 80 demolish this year. how does the dresser pulling the story from neighboring chad, 1st on the scenes? well 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 may go city. and then the work started in earnest. looking at the rebel, the mountain of rebel, they in fact, needed much more 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 lagos is no stranger to this disaster. respecting the construction code has always been a difficult situation. illegals enforcement, despite enforcement such contravention, continue not only in lagos, but across switches nigeria, people bribe officials to look the other way. while the they go screaming things and making construction or constructing poorly built structures in lagos, eventually these structures collapse and killed. and lot of people every yeah, we read your stuff, such incidences. so break here now to 0. when we come back, hundreds of refugees survive days at sea to be caught up in a growing dispute between turkey and greece. and we'll look at the impact of al jazeera, 25 years on since the network launch. the mission, to give voice to the voice is more not stable. ah,

now it's been relatively quiet of the last 24 hours or so. this looks like a lot of class, but really the rains take long way north and the cold that's coming afterwards. isn't that cold is a cold front, going to be cold air behind it. the temperatures are in single figures and certainly if you're in winnipeg you'll feel it. and eventually that coal will come or down across the states, but it hasn't really bitten just yet. so the forecast at toronto's at los about 5 degrees or wednesday, little less cold on thursday and his percentage chance of brief snow showers in the us. it will feel cover all the same. the snow further west in the rockies where the kodak comes up with the moisture from the gulf you get, i think significant thunderstorm risk in texas hail possibly tornadoes or once more the pacific coast looked very wet by the end of wednesday, which i'm sure is welcome rain, there's

a good line of exaggerated shouts through cuba. recently, jamaica occurred again to belize, home jurors and nicaragua. this is the case, the tuesday. whether that's the focus of the heaviest, the right orange tops means the biggest down. pause mexico's laughter even of entirely dry and for south america. very pleasing to say a lot or see a lot of read numbers only f. disappointing though. if you're in rio, where it's still wet. ah ah, tens of thousands of children were born into old lives under the i school regime in iraq and syria. now many are in camps you the orphans all with it. we go to mothers, rejected by their own communities. she could do like people are going to welcome them after that. of course, mom and you documentary his, that chilling and traumatic stories for the children throw stones at me, iraq's last generation coming soon on al jazeera.
