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. he's pushing humanity to the body. we face a stark choice either. we stop it, but it stops us. we are digging our own grapes. us president joe biden came to glasgow with, unlike his predecessor, donald trump, a strong commitment of quite the climate emergency. but without the tools to do so, his green policies depend on a massive spending package with his already been pad back and has yet to pass congress. there is no more time to hang back or sit in the fence or argue amongst ourselves. this is a challenge of our collective lifetimes. 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. did he doze off at one point as he listened to the speeches? hearing loss, they'll be 12 days of long, intense negotiations, but it's 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 and not here. i'm. there's not been the hope for momentum ahead of cult 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 climbers for 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 there andro modi's announcement will disappoint many putting

his country 2 decades behind the un targeted 2050 ha. india will fulfill 50 percent of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030 . between now and 2030 india will reduce its 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, called red cord, red to the g 7 countries. cord red cord 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 laws who have

a heart to fear. 1.5 is what we need to survey. 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 bayes al jazeera glasgow. let's bring in christiana, forget it. she is called founder of global optimism. she is also former executive secretary of the u. n. framework convention on climate change she trans now from glasgow. thank you for your time. first off, i just wanna get your reaction to this pledge exactly signed shortly or announced shortly. to cut deforestation by 2030. well, you know, traditionally we have thought than biodiversity or deforestation. reversal and climate change were actually 2 different issues to dave, we fortunately finally had to have understood that these are 2 sides of the same coin. there is no way that we would be able to do any of the climate targets,

let alone keep 1.5 degrees as a temperature, ceiling front and center without both protecting nature and in fact, even restoring and regenerating nature. hence, a very, very welcome, a warm welcome to the announcements that are being made today, but more than a 100 countries to stop deforestation, and a 3rd of them to start to stop food related deforestation, russia, china, even brazil. i expected to sign this deforestation pledge. i mean under president jaya, both in otto of brazil deforestation surged to a 12 year high. i guess the question for you is, do you expect that all parties will adhere to their promises that are made at cop 26? yes, i do expect that they will obviously with different speeds them with different difficulties, but the direction of travel has to be the same one. and i do expect that they will

be complying with that. what are the pledges? would you like to see come out of this cop summit? what is very important to understand here is that science has been abundantly clear that we cannot go above 1.5 degrees centigrade. we did not know that way back in paris. we have known it now for the past 3 years, so we have to keep 1.5, front and center. and we have to understand that everything that is being done here in glasgow both in the part of national governments, but also very importantly on the part of sub national governments of corporations, of the finance sector. all of that implementation package, all needs to be seen together as a very important step toward a pathway that will take us to 1.5. obviously, you're there in glasgow. how much all the wrangling to get deals like this? dawn happens outside of what is broadcast happens outside of the meetings that we

see live on air. well, most of what is known as the glass go. breakthroughs, which are these at nouns, mints on finance, on methane, on green, steel on green hydrogen. undo for a station, most of that a heavy lifting has actually been done prior to these 2 weeks. and these 2 weeks are used as a platform for announcing, but also for last minute supporters to come on board as well as they see momentum growing on the other side. and the other bucket of the governments that truly is work that still needs to be done here this week. obviously heads of state have come and they have reiterated or official eyes. many of them what they had already said throughout the years. but from here on out after the end of today, where we will finish with heads of state, there is a lot of work to be done at ministerial and a technical level. and that really does require person to person conversations. or

i thanks very much for your time or stay on the forget as their co founder of global optimism, aid agencies are wanting that millions of displaced afghans are unprepared for winter. as temperatures start to plummet, many others can't afford to heat their homes. the u. n. thinks it'll cost $300000000.00 to help. almost 10000000 people in need and have gone a star through the winter shallow bell. us reports from cobble strapped above is everything they need in sight. every one they love. winter is coming in for 1000 people on the outskirts of cobble. it's time to go home. burden komatt controller of most moved here 3 months ago to avoid fighting. as the taliban took control, arraf martine in his family came from the same to province of di condie. but the found they can't survive and cobble is no work. so the you in refugee agency is giving them cash to return. to struggle with the call. we listen bills hug

miserably. we had a lot of problems, plus it's getting colder and we don't have warm clothes and no income to buy anything. arraf is one of more than 550000 people who flayed their homes this year. mostly because of fighting. a head lies a minimum, 16 hour drive, and a harsh winter glow hon ago. ha, ha, ha ha. later, the united nations turns to those who don't want to leave cobble it surveyed the cities poorest neighborhoods and found these people to be the least likely to survive the winter taliban special forces. man, the entrances providing protection as the un, hence up blankets, food and cash, to cover peoples rent for a few months. these people looking for help and displaced from far away provinces, but they don't want to go home. they're scared of what no returned to and believe

they have a better chance of surviving the winter hearing. cobble. oh, hello. my was displacement is a priority for the you when, but it's resources are stretched every day. it's running 8 handouts like this across afghanistan, responding to record levels of hunger, a severe drought, and a stalling economy. that's why the appeal to the international community, the appeal to the world is understand a bit of law, his thumb is inching towards a total breakdown of of, of, of services. this is a count down to catastrophe. i'm with ramsey feels the crisis acutely. she is disabled, unable to stand after a reaction to a vaccine. as a baby, she fled here from condos in august with his stepson ahmed wally. she was 8 months pregnant soon there were 3 rather than we thought that i don't have the courage to bear any more pain. i am only 26 years old, and i've seen a lot. i've seen so much,

and yet i don't even have 6 good memories of my life. i live in your old ahmed wally his stops his education to sell rubbish bags. earning $1.00 a day to help feed ramsey and the baby. i had a home circle, he tells us i love her lot. i love her so much. he adds, he is thankful to the people who brought the 8. like many here. he doesn't follow you in warnings of humanitarian crisis and reports of food and security. but he knows life is harder than it's ever been. and without this kind of help, he and millions of others will not survive the winter. charlotte bellis? ouch is era cobble? still head on al jazeera, a former u. s. diplomat visits me and mom and a new push to get humanitarian aid into the country. ah, ah,

look forward to brutus gomez. the wither sponsored boy cut on her ways. how i we got more very unsettled whether in 2 central parts of the mediterranean lotsa class, still rumbling away here. lots of storms in place, long line of cloud. they're just pushing right up into scandinavia to the west of that. we've got a cool, a north lea breeze coming in, so really failing on the chevy side for much of western europe. fair bit of rain as well. piling in from the atlantic. we'll see some wet weather coming into france. northern parts of spain and portugal, not quite so whether you notice across the british charles, we have got some showers affecting the recent past gosselin, but essentially it's really about that wind lots of wet weather over towards sir. the baltic states pushing down towards the black sea, still some showers there at times around italy those shells becoming a little more expansive as we go through when it says that wet weather just continues to make its way in across the outs. snow, they're over the higher ground,

some very heavy rain that we could possibly by the state and across the other side of the water there. through the age we added into the balkans eastern parts of the med, generally fine and dry. with some sunshine. we have got some showers, meanwhile, across all the pos of algeria angle and areas of rocker more big down post around the gulf of guinea, looking very unsettled for a good part of west africa. oh, the weather sponsored by casara ways in the country with an abundance of results for far and walk indonesia whose firms forming we moved pool to grow and froth. we balance for rena economy, blue economy, and the digital economy. with the new job creation law, indonesia is progressively ensuring the policy reform to create quality jobs. invest, let to be part when the this is growth and progress in indonesia now. ah

ah, welcome back. you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories. this all rebels and ethiopians, northern to by region say they have joined up with forces from army countries, most populous region. they came in control of 2 towns on the highway to the capitol, r d'silva world leaders have agreed to end deforestation by 2030 handing the un climate summit and glasgow is 1st major deal. it's part of a greater push to limit the rise and global temperatures to $1.00 degrees celsius in the coming decades. madeau is live for us now in glasgow. robert, so deforestation is the big headline here. what are the details?

what do we know about this deal? well, the details of these agreement that had been agreed upon will be unveiled later today at the ceremony that will be attended by world leaders, including the president of brazil, the president of indonesia, the president of congo phillips to katy, as well as many other countries where there are huge forests now. this deal and, and revolved deforestation is a huge boon for the united kingdom, which us, us hosts has a responsibility to ensure that the east consensus on most of the issues that are being discussed here in an attempt to reverse a global warming. of course, the prime minister board is joseph, is expected to address that ceremony where the details of these agreement will be

unveiled and he is expected to tell the delegates and world leaders to the world cannot live without these forests. they are vital to the livelihoods and food supplies of humanity, and it is very essential to our survival. so but critics already pointing out that the u. k. might be choosing the less controversial issues like deforestation, because it will take very little energy or attempts to make the people who are gathered here agree on ending deforestation. while issues such as facing out fossil fuels, coal, as well as a transition to electric cars will be much more tougher to achieve agreements on interesting mama i want to ask you something i asked one of our guests earlier.

what's the feeling there on the ground about whether this deforestation deal will actually be adhered to? because brazil, the president has been accused of really not doing much at all to protect the amazon. so why, what analysts saying they're on the ground about the likelihood of this really being being adhered to while muscle, if you talk to tell us that the issue of deforestation was one of the easiest things to agree upon. and also the agreement, the details we're getting right now say that this will be achieved by 2030 and that's 80 years away. so what is going to happen within this a t is again, what about all those commercial interests that refilling the trees across the world? i mean, these a lot to digest in there all the time will tell whether it is going to have the

desired impact. and people are going to respect this agreement as is in let us spirit how to do that for us in glasgow. thank you very much. and ethiopia to rebel groups have joined forces fighters from the to grind people's liberation from say that linked up with rebel forces from the most populous region, or mia, that's comes as the t p l f. have gone on a new offensive prank up to report. there's a new frontier and if you pierce war, rebels, antique, i say they advancing for the salt inching closer to the capital, addis ababa in just a few days. the rebels from the northern take rise. state said they have seized the towns of de say and come bolger, which i and the neighboring um. horace state. the 2 are on a major highway leading to the capital, addis ababa. the federal government has disputed the claims we have with this c to is broken well to make sure that our children are not dying from hunger and

starvation. we have to make sure that that it will access limited access to the buyout. so we'll do what it takes to make sure that the cd is broken. if it's monitoring blood, it takes to break the thing we will. prime minister arby amad has asked all this europeans to organize and fight back in the for the i was little. there are many challenges, but i can tell you with certainty, without a doubt we will score a comprehensive victory in the last 15 days when t p a left was crying about being attacked, i was overwhelmed with pressure from the world with phone calls. now that they are advancing, it is seen as normal and no one is calling this. the u. s. has been calling for a ceasefire. secretary of state antony blinking. tweeted saying the u. s. is alarmed over the t p. a less takeover of the towns to say and culture and is urged both sides to stop fighting. but they all concerns that violence could escalate what to grand rebels. joining forces with the oral more liberation army and arms

group in the region surrounding the capitol of this, there is a new marriage of convenience alliance between at least the fashion of the or i'm a liberation front. and a because the abby has managed to alienate d o the including some em harass. so he is really increasing the isolated and that he feel like he's trying to take advantage of that situation as well as olette. and it's found lease like these who are paying the highest price for the shifting back line. so if, if he'll be us war that throughout don't for nearly a year, more than 2 and a half 1000000 people have been forced to leave their homes and around $400000.00 on the brink of famine. younger group, the 0. let's bring in on the l. m to say, hey, is a political commentator and managing editor at new business. if you will,

join us from some of our thank you for your time. first off, what's your reaction to this development of the t p l f is joining forces with fighters from army? what impact do you think that might have here? thank you very much for having me. i think we chose that the situation is getting more serious and the fact that i'll be administration has not been pushing back on knowing them to allow them to expand the more into the 1000 parts of the country and regarding the partnership that they have always been together and now it is a continuation of partnership between the part of some of the auto migration front, but in my opinion, they are more liberation front to which is the segment of the previously or more

rash. liberation from isn't that much stronger in many places, but it is for the purpose. i think it's it may have to get some more or more extreme mr. to stand together and ministration. why has always had been down to, to counter this? why? why has the, the central government not been able to, to meet the challenge by the t p l f and its allies in this advance? yeah, i do remember the war has been opened, started by the t p. a live one day and they did the military bids in to grad region in november last year. so things are being called the started to complicate when the us. busy started involving in the internal affairs to a future, which includes interference in denial issue, bringing

a shoot to the nation several times and bringing the issue of the great, complete into the un security carlos and many times. so these are complicated problem. you see that not me has money to liberate the gray region and able to move to to some mountainous areas and then things that i've been starting normal. but as a cry begun by the u. s. thing that the human kid has situation integral has been worsening. and people need food and those things has complicated they should because in my opinion the united states is not considered about. busy the humanitarian issue of that last grade because the blood of the people are the grades red legs of blood to for libya, and that will lead to for your many liberal. i've got stuck people, so it's different for the next it to be on the so it's this is not about sympathy to the people that the greg show. we will have a my apologies,

i that the t p. i left disputes that they started the conflict and the un has accused ethiopia blocking a deliveries to take rye. i will have to leave it to you. and as you said, is now working a booklet for the united states, because whatever the says that you and your peach, when the truck gets quite into the when the nation and force of the band meant that taxes are you in the us and already begun to crack, meanwhile, correspondent stated that millions of people are at risk of starvation. we're going to have to leave it there for time until then to say, thank you. ok. the fiance of jamal casualty will testify before the people's tribunal on the murder of journalists in the hague. had jenkins says she wants to make sure that the world doesn't get shockey, who was killed inside the saudi arabian conservation is stumble in 2018. the tribunal isn't legally binding,

but it's hope that will put pressure on the governments of sri lanka, mexico, and syria. for turning a blind eyes, and notice of prominent journalists will then 1400 have died and almost 30 years, and most of their killers have never faced justice. step boston is live at the hague step. tell us what's happening today. well, this is definitely a story very close to our hearts. i think many of us journalists know personally a journalist who was murdered while doing their job. in my case, it was santa fe, soon as a dutch journalists in 1999, he was killed in indonesia by indonesian soldiers. and while it was a very well documented case, everyone knew who the suspects were and nobody's ever been brought to trial. he was one of 1400 names of journalists, felt well documented to cold cases. many of them that are here now at this tribunal . the reason for holding this, rob, you know,

is that there hasn't been any justice done internationally. the people try be, which is a way to have a symbolic kind of justice, but in all aspects, it looks like a real trial is a prosecutor. there are charges, they are witnesses and the will be 3 cases heard here as starting from next year. it's the killing of c lanchen journalist. that's something we come to me guy. he was murdered in 2009 while doing his job. he did a lot of stories about corruption and human rights violations of the government. and another case is not bill out. the soccer budget from syria. he was murdered in the syrian military prison in 2015. and the 3rd case is miguel lopez from mexico. he was killed in his house with his wife and son in mexico. so these 3 cases will be focus on. but of course, what is here on trial,

all the murders and the impunity of for these murders against journalists steadfast . and thank you for that update. australia's prime minister pushed back at a manual con, off the french president, accused him of lying about a major submarine deal tension has fled since morrison scraps. the multi $1000000000.00 deal with france in september informed a security alliance with the us and britain to acquire a fleet of 8 nuclear power submarines. scott morrison described mccullin's accusations as an insult to himself and australia. i don't wish to personalize this . there's no element of that from my perspective, my, my site that i think the statements that when my questioning, astride is integrity and the fluids that have been placed on a stride, you're not me. i've got broad shoulders. i can deal with that. but dice liz, i'm not going to cut fledging a strider. i'm not going to call that on behalf of the strident i can do with whatever people throughout me, but astride it has a proud record. when it comes to defense capability. that's why we were building

these mobile building. i was and it's friday service record, i think, needs make nights. now elaboration. after more than a year of political turmoil that delayed elections, somalia has become voting for politicians and it's low health parliament. the 1st 2 politicians for the 275 member lower house were elected in mogadishu on monday of being chosen by tens of thousands of clan delegates as a separate voting process for the up house. one selected the 2 houses will choose the next president. ah, there and these are the top stories. well, do you have agreed to end deforestation by 2030, handing the un climate so much in glasgow. its 1st major deal as part of a greater push to limit the rise and global temperatures to 1.5 degrees celsius in the coming decades. have an adult has more from glasgow this deal and,

and revolved deforestation is a huge boon for the united kingdom which us.
