but some hope for justice. the murder case of a shrunken journalist are exposed at arms. deal comes up at the head. ah, what leaders of agreed to and deforestation? by 2030. it's the 1st commitment made the cop $26.00 climate conference in glasgow . presidents and prime ministers have spoken about the severity of the emergency, but it's far less certain whether they'll deliver the action needed to stave off catastrophic levels of warming on diplomatic edits. james base begins are coverage from glasgow. o 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 of the city where it's being held. glasgow was the place where the

dimension was invented 250 years ago, triggering and 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 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 bidding. 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 of pipe 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 shit in the fence or argue amongst ourselves. this is the 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 andro 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 2030 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. 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 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 will appear as one country that struggle to deal with climate challenge as the 2020 environmental performance index ranks at the worst performing country when it comes to sustainability. nicholas hark reports from the outskirts of the capitol monrovia. this is liberia's guinea forrest region, often referred to as the lungs of west africa. but from where i stand, the air is and breathed the voice heavy with toxic chemicals. it stings the eyes,

and this is why the international tire manufacturing company firestone has cleared part of the forest to make way for a rubber plantation. the size of singapore in the process of turning rubber into tires destined for cars in north america and europe. villagers say they are polluting the waters and the air farmington river was once the lifeline for millions of people living around monrovia. it's now in certain areas, not just a dead river, but a poisonous one. and that is driving people to their death. as a reminder to future generations to what cause villagers to die. they've carved out their coffins in the shapes of cars. these out a do our permanent citizen, while i bureau, is he because of that pollution? and you call me is any news i was here to coordinate senior news. we peer crime one more one we're yeah, we're crap. according to the environmental performance index. liberia is at the

bottom of the ranking. this poor indebted country has given half of its land to private concessions to companies that are logging or exporting rubber minerals. the government says librarians are not responsible for this pollution in which we, we are like. they don't set us up. that's how it is. let we go, we, we, we feel what is happening everywhere. you know, the environment is if into one what happened in russia? what up in china, if us, yet, even though we are not permitted to almost a quarter of this country's population is displeased, people are fleeing land grabbing and land degradation as well as climate chains and most have made the capital monrovia that's barely one meter above sea. level their home look at the circumstances in which they live. both human industrial waste is being poured out and the government is doing nothing to pick up the trash or deal with this pollution, nor are they providing electricity to the people living here. most are relying on

fossil fuels such as charcoal or diesel generators to power their homes and feed their families and was like barons carbon emission is a fraction to the ones of rich polluting nations. they are feeling the full brunt of the effect of climate change and have the most at stake at this cop $26.00 conference. and yet their voices are barely getting heard. well abram africa is an environmental advocate for sama, that's a low lying pacific nation, already threatened by rising sea levels. she says, climate change is an everyday reality for island people. while large countries pay lip service to the small steps taken so far. this is a warrior high from young pacific islanders we are not drowning. we are fighting. and really, i think there is a misconception that we are mere victims of the kind of crisis. but if you actually visit an island, you would see that there's so much resilience coming out of our communities.

climate changes in the everyday lives of us as island people because we are coastal communities because we rely so much on our land in our ocean. when that relationship is change 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 whether like psychos happening frequently, which means that businesses go out of business, family struggle are constantly in the state of adapting and having to we should over resilience because of the climate crisis. but 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 island to

survive. so i think if at this hot robeto's 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 to help you now and rebels from the to dry people's liberation from say they've joined up with rebel forces from the countries most populous region are near the tape you left says it's forces of sees the town of con belcher and it's a port in it. i'm horror, region or rebels. an army, i say they've seen the town of, can we say both towns on strategic points on the highway to out of if you have is prime minister, the ahmed is called an all citizens to mobilize in the fight against to grind forces. mom, he's been fighting the to gripe people's liberation of fun. for nearly a year, tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced by the conflict. your honest will to marry, i'm a teacher is international relations with a focus on africa and the middle east. he says the new alliance between a t,

f and rebels and or mia is a significant moment in the conflict. there is a new marriage of convenience alliance between at least a fraction of the ration front. and the, i love it because the abby has managed to alienate the all know the including someone has. so he is really increasing the isolated and that you feel like he's trying to take advantage of that situation as well as the way in right now, since they have the momentum military moment, the objectives with their history. and now if you know the situation is rich such a boy and also the animosity between ethnic groups reach them all time that one of the last to go to i just have a bar. and

a rule again, looks not a good idea, but they do have the intention and they have every intention of trying to get rid of as the prime minister. and perhaps some kind of transition into a new regime coalition focus what was the various groups that they seem to be friendly with aligning? was at this time including the from personal break here now to 0. when we come back, hundreds of refugees survive days that seem to be caught up in a growing dispute between turkey and greece. and we look at the impact of al jazeera, 25 years on since the network launch the mission, to give a voice to the voice that's more stable. ah,

ah, look forward to burritos guys. with sponsored by capital airways, it's still not as cold as it should be, even northern china and mongolia devilish have jolen baton. this term is about minus one the same c. we still above that, we should go down a bit, but it's not really wanting to wear hovering 4 or 5 degrees buff average is true for hardness. true for beijing as well. the still some rain that's not have normal . every now again, pulsing out of that cold air. it comes, crossed warmish waters of the yellow sea that hits the korean peninsula and his reign for beautiful cardo hall. she was well where there shouldn't be rain and there is in this western southern part of china. it persists for the next couple of days. then this dry bit as the proper season ranko south focusing, i think, may be in the fall of thailand, singapore plants, the malays. it has been very wet. recently in borneo and java sumatra. maybe that's

real wet. his easy off for time and with the south west one soon gone, the ne monsoon tried to establish itself. it's the time for this eastern side, the deck and platter to get the re what is certainly went into magic pradesh. what we're down to, sir, like as far west as going a few showers up in nepal of the far north of pakistan launch. it's dry picture here for the time being, but went to arrive soon. but the moment we looked to the west for rain up in northern iraq. oh, the weather sponsored by casara ways, healing the debates, 90 percent of the world's refugees have come from of common impacted country. the climate emergency is putting more pressure on services across the world and amplify your voice. it's not really the future 8. now, this is not our responsibility. if people log can get it to this completed. we cannot lose hope. we know what to do, and we have the tools to to get back to the last page. this screen on al
