8:06 am
we're already starting to witness in terms of storms and sea level rise is still important we do need these high level political commitments from our leaders. we also need to know that all the way to the ground to engage communities and indigenous communities installation. it's important that we've got a lot more pledges than we did in 2014, to commit to re stopping deforestation, and reversing it by 2030. i think that is notable. in addition, there's over $900000000000.00. pledge in both public and private funds. so it is a good start. there's a lot more that we still need to do, but we do need a high level commitment, as well as, as work on the ground and finding ways to engage, to move, to solving lose are for us or when they're dig. granted, we also lose a lot of these other important benefits and things that we depend on for our livelihood and for our economy. so it's a win win if we're able to restore and conserve these for us in,
8:07 am
in tropical countries, but also globally or on to other news. now you see, if you were rebels from the to grow people's liberation front, say they've joined up with rebel forces from the countries most popular region around the tpl. i've says it's forces of see the town of con boettcher and it's airport. this is in the horror region, while rebels in romeo say to see the town of can me say both strategic points on the highway. 2 out of saba. now we do have is prime minister, had is called on all citizens to mobilize and the fight against the ground forces. the armies been fighting the target people's duration front. for nearly a year, tens of thousands of civilians have been displaced by the conflict. a 21, the story building in nigeria collapsed, killing at least 3 people. dozens of thought to be still trapped in the rubble building and lycos was still under construction and it's been widely reported. the develop only had permission for 15 flaws. with recent efforts to demolish reinforce
8:08 am
sunset buildings in the city with more than 80 taken down this year alone. i have an interest in following the story from neighboring chat. post 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 highbrow 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 bigger heavy duty commit to move the rebels 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 in lagos enforcement. despite enforcement such contravention is continue not only in lagos, but across,
8:09 am
which is the niger area. people bribe officials to look the other way while the they go skimming things and making construction or constructing poorly built structures in lego, eventually these structures collapse and killed and lot of people every yeah, we register such incidences. the united nations special envoy for sudan says mass protests against last week's military take over are working tens of thousands of people have been rally. you can get rallying against it. least 11 people killed though in more than a 100. injured, pretty good on in weeks have returned to she can be receiving the mass demonstrations on such a very, very pizza or tolbert. and we have no way here to nothing's to measure as an exact sophomore. so are such it mostly chance of can see numbers that we can really a she efforts our ag going on. so there's
8:10 am
a lot of shock laid between zip journal will come on should be a prime minister's residence, other places where other officials are located. the white house says welcome to private mission to me and now by a former us ambassador to the un saying it hopes that will help get aid in washington isn't sponsoring bill richardson's trip. it says it hopes he can support the leadership to allow humanitarian access. the u. n says about 3000000 people are in need of age triple the year before, which is being blamed on a combination of the pandemic, a military coup, and an economic crisis mo, from florence louis. she's following this one from columba. so the richardson center has said, this is a humanitarian mission, and the focus focus of this is pandemic support. now a press release by the richardson center for global engagement says the purpose of this trip is to hold discussions to facilitate the delivery of covert 900 supplies,
8:11 am
medical needs, and other public health needs. now, earlier this year, me on my experienced a search in current of virus cases and authorities really struggled to cope. patients were being turned away from public hospitals. family members ended up queueing for hours just to get enough oxygen for that for their loved ones. now it's also possible that richardson will be seeking the release of an american journalist, danny fenster, who was arrested earlier this year. a lead for allegedly spreading false information. he's in charge with in flight and now the spokesperson for richardson declined to comment on this. it is quite telling, however, that the press release from richardson side did not make any mention of the coo or who richardson will be meeting while he is in miano. and i think it's also possible that the fact that he's been granted access to the country, he may have had to make some promises that this is going to be a purely humanitarian mission. now if you remember the jan test position is that it
8:12 am
stepped in because that been electro fraud and it also takes the position that political opponents to the qu, ot terrorists who are intent on stoking violence in the country. so i think on the political front, we shouldn't expect much from this mission. it is a purely humanitarian mission. we'll check that was where the next and then library and climate challenge, looking at why it was ranked the worst performing country in the world on sustainability. and a quarter of a century of al jazeera, we look at the networks impacts and it launched with a mission, giving a voice to the the now we've seen recent flooding because of flash, hudson thunderstorms in the far north of both syria and iraq. and the could be more

8:14 am
