meritus and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail it. citizens, britons, true colors, part one on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah lauren, welcome. i'm pete adobe. you're watching the news, our life from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the 1st deal is done at the cop 26 climate talks is more than 100 leaders pledge to en deforestation by 2030. i'm a clog in glasgow. the plan is backed by countries at a home to 85 percent of the world for us. but will this plan succeed where others are fail?
4:01 pm
also this our panic in cobble after 2 large exclusions and gunfire near a military hospital. ethiopians to grind rebels say they've taken cities on a highway leading to the capitol, prompting a new call to arms by the prime minister. and i'm leah harding, with all of your sports english, premier league side, tottenham, get there, man. the london club have confirmed antonio county as their new head coach. ah, the u. k prime minister boris johnson has hailed the 1st big achievement of the climate summit in glasgow as more than 100 nations, signed a deal to stop deforestation by 2030. among them are countries including brazil, china, russia, and the united states. $19000000000.00 have been pledged towards the plan. leaders of also said they will limit methane emissions and help countries phase are fossil
4:02 pm
fuels of the to be covent. our environment editor nick clark is in glasgow heading out our coverage for us. nick over to you. yes, we started day 3 with a major announcement on the deforestation to keep that one and a half 3 celsius target. insight forests need to be dealt with. deforestation needs to be tackled in a big way and here we have it to the tune of $19000000000.00. implementation is going to be the key, which we will discuss shortly. we have more than 100 world lead is agreeing to end and reverse deforestation in that by 2039 years time. so it's a pretty quick turnaround. if it happens, countries as you say, that will sign. the pledge include a candidate, brazil, russia, china, indonesia, the u. s, and the u. k. democratic republic of congo. altogether, they cover 85 percent of the worlds for us, so it is a very important deal. let's hear from forest johnson in the 2nd, but 1st his job. today i'm announcing
4:03 pm
a new plan to conserve global forest, which will bring together a full range of us, cover and tools, diplomatic, financial and policy. to halt for us laws restore critical carbon sinks and improve land management. through this plan, the united states will help the world deliver on our shared goal of halting natural force. busy laws and restoring, at least an additional $200000000.00 hector's of fars and other echo systems by the year 2030. if we want to keep the parish goal of 1.5 degrees in sight and support communities in the front line of climate change, we must protect and restore the world's forests them. i believe we can do it as we saw in this declaration today. let's also galvanized a radical shift in public and private finance. let's channel funds towards
4:04 pm
securing the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities and shift trillions towards supporting sustainable jobs. approach. johnson that for us, critical because they talk about a 3rd of c o 2 out of the atmosphere. it is a big deal this today to discuss this further, i'm joined by jo blackman who's a head of forest policy and advocacy at global witness. said joe, on the face of it, it's a good thing, but really how much half of this have. sure, so we welcome the commitment today and we welcome the fact that for a set top of the agenda and recognizes crucial to talking climate change, that what we need is action. not just words these forrester disappearing a rapid rise them and we not, we need action today, right. and when you say action, what type of actually talk about $90000000000.00 is a lot of money. how to ensure that that is made accountable. so we're part of the problem as we've seen previous commitments, both from governments, both cipher companies and financial institutions,
4:05 pm
to tackle deforestation and to harvey and hold those commitments haven't been mats . and what we're lacking in previous commitments is accountability to show that it's delivered. if governments are serious about tackling deforestation, what i need to do is bring forward laws to stop the supply chains and companies fueling deforestation with products such as soil be from palmer and actually stop the financing of deforestation as well by global financial institutions. recently, the witness analysis showed that a 157000000000 since the last paras agreement has been put into global deforestation by global financial institutions. that figure toward the types of announcements we've been, we've seen today, which are more in the region of 19000000000. so there's obviously a lot more that governments must be doing to stop the role. that fact that companies and financial institutions are playing, and bank rolling and financing global deforestation currently. okay. with the figures that you mentioned are impressive bit difficult to deal with. what can you do to ensure that governments bringing legislation? it's next possible from us?
4:06 pm
and that's why this agreement that christ ready nice to have taste them. and we're looking forward to seeing more detailed on each how each these companies are gonna deliver on the i may need to be held to account. they need to be reporting regularly on these commitments. and we think crucial to this is making sure that they have rules in place to stop by companies and stop fairbanks contributing to global deforestation in the way we see today. and sockets will, to common when we look at problems of deforestation that we find, you know, high street retailers, we find high street banks that are continuing to buy these companies. sure, because we heard that you mentioned the deals in the policy, but there was one in 2014. i think it worked with when they what was it to to hawk deforestation by 2020. but obviously that target was never met. yeah, that's get 2014 new at that creational forests or a smaller number of countries, but still significant number commit to having deforestation, and, and halting it by, by 2030 and we didn't, we missed, i missed
4:07 pm
a 2020 target. likewise, companies, some financial institutions also made pledges to hold deforestation by 2020. and those have been missed and we need turn the lessons of why they've been messed up because these commitments in the past haven't had teeth. and because governments haven't bought for the type of floss a needed. but i think what we've seen from recent experience is we need the voluntary approaches failed. it's time for governments to, to really bring for the legislation needed to make sure the company and financial institutions, and fact rosetti in this one final thing. joe is extreme amount of money that's going to be pumped into individual countries. how do we ensure that that money i should get to where needs to go? it isn't just hired off by corrupt officials or whatever. yeah, i think the crucial thing is to see some of that go to indigenous groups. indigenous paper, forefront and protect from the climate environment, yet currently c one percent of climate phones, which is staggering. really also to ensure that figure is undermined by the current financial flows. going to see for
4:08 pm
a station i need to bring forward legislation. my kind of to find options in the u . k. u. s. and elsewhere, but they can no longer find on deforestation. and if i don't do that, i'm sorry to say the figures we've heard. so you're going to be massively told by the big figures that wasting continuously flow, these companies ok, well that puts it all into perspective. appreciate that. thanks very much. indeed. job latin from global witness. ok, we're moving on to africa now too late. chad, which is once the 6 largest inland water, a body of water. but the effects of climate change the extended drought as well as over use of water causes street by 90 percent 90 percent in the last 60 years. and we can go to like, check now and speak to our address, the implications of what's happening there are huge and, and the effects that it has from starvation to indeed war absolutely. are we talking about 94 percent of the low cost shrank of a period of 15 years or so. if the camera pans that way,
4:09 pm
that area in fact was part of the lake. a lot of water was there. what you have now is an island where people have started building people. i grazing over there and all around locals are telling us that the fishes have disappeared. the when you go through community living out on the lake. yeah. on the charging side on the come near side, on the just side, i'm in my g area. what you sounds is desperate people are destroyed and the environment is completely devastated. why once water was in abundance, there is no along a want. a doesn't have started in coaching, he ain't shot an environmental is called al jazeera. now things are getting worse and worse and worse every year. the does it advances here by 4 kilometers, which is huge and across the region, we witness deforestation. as a result, people have lost means of livelihood. we encounter people in
4:10 pm
a way to the lake and we encountered people migrating across. what is left of the lake to other areas, why they feel that the climate is cooler? and then that is greener pastures, especially for nomads pastoralists who want to save their cattle. once a busy navigation channel full light fishing vessels, this portion of the lake chart is now a crossing point for cattle. the gates of poor water usage, celts, droughts on the impact of climate change, continue to alter the face of the lake and with it the lives of millions will depend on it. this family is forced to my great because of drought. not far from here. we met a fisherman pulling in his catch of the day. he says it's the most he got in a week. a few my curls, not enough to feed his family. and hood, we used to catch a lot of fish in postures with little effort,
4:11 pm
but it's so much more difficult. now i'm lucky to have even called this much. he says fisherman, like he must learn other skills to survive the hard times. the lecture is shared by cameron chad, new j a nigeria. countries dealing with a 12 year old boycott. i'm insurgency that has killed thousands and displeased millions experts say the conflict is fueled in part by the effect of climate change . leg charged one of the wells biggest leagues, but it was 50 years. it's changed dramatically. what was, was a 25000 kilometer body of water is now estimated at captain islands like this and pools just containing 1000, quite kilometers. and that doesn't have 25000000 people shuttle food and jobs, and exposed to conflict. 30 kilometers away from what is now the new shores of the lake. as it has been harvest sorghum. after 5 months of labor and a $4000.00 investment from college is not good college,
4:12 pm
you know. so about that that's only we get this year for full tech stuff. that's not enough. because the problem of that in that is known written this year he says he will be lucky to get full bikes this year, which amounts to $3800.00 loss on his investment. a few decades ago, what he now calls a farm was deep inside the lake, chad for generations. this, the helium always supported millions of families, livestock, and profitable trade among nations. governments in the region are struggling to address the fears and concerns of millions. well, now watch helplessly as their means of livelihoods dry up the latino, they will, it did. just as industrialized countries agreed to support developing countries. chad through its public treasury will also fund projects to mitigate the impact of climate change on its people. little comfort to those who lost so much back at as
4:13 pm
ease hudson's palm. his walkers continue to process theseus harvest, but at the back of their minds, they are conscious of the reality that they like millions in the region may not get to keep their jobs. next year, i'm it, greece, al jazeera on the shores of the lake chat at a z, it's or the reality of a warming well to precisely what this conference is all about. not prime minister boris johnson british problem. this verse johnson has promised a green industrial revolution in order to reach the promise of net carbon net to recover emissions at by 2050. that's enough from any valcall whose reporting from the humble history on england's north east coast. rising out of the north sea, a mighty feet of engineering try to null offshore wind farms, taking shape work of an army of newly trained apprentices. this is mark going to be my 1st house, your out of our friends here, rather than when farms been directed outside in the homer and north se. so this
4:14 pm
ideal location for me to kind of get started and in near by whole, this is one of the largest manufacturers of turbine blades in the world. each hand crafted by workers, many of whom have retrained to join the sustainable energy sector. the region, once a major coal exporter has come full circle, embracing renewable energy. we employ a 1000 people on this or at this location. in direct roles, we had more than 20000 people apply for those roles at the time. it just shows how it captures people's imagination, not about working in black manufacture, but the whole renewable sector as a whole weeks, a potential growth as we grow and the blade size grows as well. i'll be further jobs creates and not just direct jobs, but also in direct jobs to support this industry. this is engineering on a gargantuan scale since the factory opened only a few years ago, produce more than 1500 of these 80 meter long blades and very soon the palm will be
4:15 pm
making even longer ones. meaning the frank 3 will have to double in size, a single turn of one of these turbines compound house for 24 hours. when i was a lot of come down when we done all the way down, the north wall would probably be a 100 still troll. as big ships, but in the rush to de carbonized, the economy, some local industries feel sidelined down canyon runs. the last fishing firm in grimsby. and what was the biggest fishing port in the world? it changed your aspect really. i can't believe in the last 10 years how it's changed out all the money to get rid of everybody. and you know, just leave it for the wind farms. anything the wind farms, when they get anything we need, we don't get it. they just come in and just do we want the life. and there's obviously people let them do like b because there's a lot of money involved in. the transition to a green of economy isn't just about providing more jobs. it's about making sure
4:16 pm
nobody's left behind. if we achieve net 0 but we end up with a less equal society than we still failed because that will. ready not be sustainable and it will not address the climate challenge in the long term. so it does really need to engage with the communities who are affected and get that by and so they can actually lead the action rather than being. ready kind of sideline by eventually the oil refinery that sits at the mouth of the hum, the river will have to close its workers, find new jobs. these are climate scientists hope the last days of fossil fuels. but the climate challenge isn't just about cutting carbon emissions. it's about securing people's futures, nave barker, al jazeera on the humber estuary, only barker reporting there from the humber history. so we've had one big announcement today we're expecting and other on perhaps not quite so big, but still on something very important on methane emissions. that should be come up a little bit later in the meantime. well, lead is beginning to dissipate,
4:17 pm
beginning to head back, and the negotiations will start really in earnest tomorrow. nick, thank you very much. ill and used to big explosions have gone off near a military hospital and cobble before runs of gunfire. at least 19 people confirmed dead. there's been no claim of responsibility for the attack so far. pfizer land is a professor of political sciences of cobble university explained earlier to me why these attacks are difficult to prevent. controlling such kind of events will seem, far more difficult than a situation where the things are not good much in order. since the fall of the couple into the hands of taliban a few things missing. the important thing is that the get to me see cognition, original cooperation, international communities, corporation. and the concern is over the target killing. good. the activation
4:18 pm
in big cities. but taliban should control otherwise the main the main thing that people really much need in the one from tally about was that the grip over the security and the last, if they lose that grip, if the insecurity increases, i think it will somehow a discredit valuable. present in the pilot. lots more still to come for you here on the news, including will be in the power where people are trying to pick up the pcs after catastrophic floods. in sports, england charged towards the semi final t 20 world cup. ah. anything of the same media that is reporting that old residence of ad is above been
4:19 pm
asked to register their weapons in the next 2 days. this comes after rebels into grice that they are in control of 2 tons on a major highway leading to the capital. the prime minister of smith has asked all the philippines to mobilize and fight the rebels, priyanka goop to reports. days when you frontier in, if you appeal swore rebels, antique rise, see the advancing for the south, inching closer to the capital, addis ababa in just a few days. the rebels from the northern t grey state say they have seized the towns of dismay, uncombed bolger, which are in the neighboring armor est the 2 are on a major highway leading to the capitol. the federal government has disputed those claims. we have. this is broken. we have to make sure that our children, i'm not dying from hunger reaches, we'll have to make sure that the access to an access to by are different. so we do
4:20 pm
what it takes to make sure that the cd is broken. if gladys managing it is what it takes to, but we will prime minister abi amad has asked all if he'll peons to organize and fight back. and if there was a 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 phone calls. now that they are advancing, it is seen as normal and no one is calling this to get. the us have been calling for a cease fire secretary of state anthony blinking tweeted saying the u. s. is alarmed over the t p l. s. takeover of the towns to say and culture. and his arched both sides to stop fighting, but down concerns that violence could escalate with the grain rebels joining forces with the oral more liberation army, and armed group in the region surrounding the capital. others. there is a new marriage of convenience alliance between at least
4:21 pm
a fraction of the or on we're liberation front and the, the, alaska. because the abby has managed to alienate the or mo, the, including some harass. so he is really increasing the isolated. and that if your life is trying to take advantage of that situation as well as olay and his families like these, what being the highest price for the shifting back lines of if he appears war. that throughout dawn, for nearly a year, more than 2 and a half 1000000 people have been forced to leave their homes, and around 400000, on the brink of famine. bianca dr. i'll to 0. live now to samuel, get a chew in addis ababa. samuel, welcome back to the news. how are these to grind force is continuing to move south or are they kind of locked into these 2 locations that we've been discussing today?
4:22 pm
samuel, we can't hear you. we've got a problem with the link to you. we can see you, but we can't hear a word from you. we'll try and re establish that link, samuel. and we will come back to you just as quickly as we can here on the news hour. we'll move on, palestinians living in shake gerra, a district and occupied east jerusalem. her projects the compromise proposed by israel supreme court. it is the latest chapter in their long battle, against being forcibly removed from their homes. the supreme court proposed a deal that recognizes a jewish settler organisation as the owners of the land while allowing the families to stay in their homes for 15 years. life now to harry force. it was there for us in west jerusalem. harry hi there. oh, what are the family saying about this?
4:23 pm
well that's saying that this is a deal that they cannot accept largely on the basis that you just set out, that it does not recognize them as owners of their own home. something they have insisted on throughout the long battle, saying that the homes, they were that, that in some cases they, in other cases, their ancestors were given in the 1950s by the jordanian government when it was in control here in what is now occupied east jerusalem, that's as refugees, they are entitled were entitled and remain entitled to the ownership of those homes . so this compromise deal which set out to recognise the claim of this jewish settler organisation of ownership of the land. but give these families up to 3 generations worth of protected tenancy status within those homes and allowing them in the future to continue to make the claim of ownership that was not enough. as far as the families are concerned, i think that has been a pretty difficult few weeks of discussions and decision making for these families
4:24 pm
because it really does represent a choice between sort of the, the pragmatic, immediate future, the sort of life security to some extent of the people currently in the homes and as i say, up to 2 generations in the future as well. although of course, the things are always contingent on political developments, but at offered them some security. but it did not crucially recognize that claim to ownership. and it did not really do anything for the sort of nationalist, palestinian cause that is built up around this issue. this has become a real central focus of a lot of sort of anti occupation activism. and so that is not a key issue. i think in how they will have reached this decision. so what do we think happens next very well, it's now up to the supreme court to make it's next to move. and they have tried everything they could really to avoid making
4:25 pm
a final decision by really putting this compromise deal forward with such great enthusiasm. and also even in the recognition of some of the palestinian families, this was the biggest move they had had in their favor, allowing them to stay on potentially challenge for their ownership in the future. they recognized that that was a considerable offer. and so now the supreme court will have to base any final decision within the strictures of israeli law, which the international community should, would say, does not apply unoccupied territory. how the, as far as digital is concerned, it does. and previous court decisions have gone against them on the basis of the legal arguments made before there is very little room for the court. it seems to move in a separate direction from the earlier court verdict. so if and when there is a final order to evict or forcibly displace these families from their homes, that could a lead to more unrest and most of violence and protest,
4:26 pm
the kind that we saw 6 months ago or so around the same time as the as the gods, a war and as well as that it gives the israeli government a very difficult decision. does it enact and enforce those displacements or does it try and put them off to sometime in the future? i think there is a clear indication that the really government doesn't want to move on this. they're under significant pressure from the united states to not foresee families from their homes. but if the court is forced into making a decision is likely to go against the families parent, thank you very much for their joining us live from israel. let's go back to that interview. we tried to bring you just a little bit earlier here on the news to grind rebels, moving south towards the direction of the ethiopian capital at a sub. but they are claiming to have taken to key towns on that main road heading from north to south. the ethiopian government has refuted those claims. let's try and get a handle on what's the latest?
4:27 pm
mason, samuel get a true joins us from at his appa samuel, hopefully this time you can hear us are many thanks for bearing with our technical issues. as far as we know of those to grow and rebels still moving south, or are they stationary in those 2 particular locations? again, it depends on who you listen to the japan side is it says thing. they're fighting with them and dessie and they're not going anywhere. but they also claimed a few days ago saying that more than 100 people have been young. people have been killed by the t p. a left. if you listen to the t p a left, they are coming towards her, perhaps undisturbed, and they're fighting their way to the capitol. but again, it's one of those conflicts where you can't even verify this information. we're watching them from a distance and reading, so their social media pages, including the spokesperson of the t p. f. that insists the fighting is moving forward. with this call to the people of ethiopia to get ready to i guess,
4:28 pm
take part in a fight. is the ethiopian government playing catch up here? when the government has been insisting that the, even the prime minister spoke yesterday night, saying that they are fighting them up. this is about the survival of the country, the foundation of their heats your beer, and that he's calling on ethiopians to defend their interest, defend their country, and he thinks he is going to win at the end. and he has said he has confidence in the 8th, your been army, to defeat what he terms a terrorist organization that is t p l f, according to the, the open government. is there a feeling where you are samuel, that this conflict now is not contained in the region of to cry? clearly it is spilling over. it is heading south and it may yet turn into something much more dangerous. well i was in, i'm higher region the far region. you know,
4:29 pm
it was tense i was in dc, which the t p left is claiming to have captured was a job and government is saying, that's not true. but the place was tense that people were confused. there were under siege, thousands of people were hiding in dessie, running away from the northern part of armoire, looking for some kind of refuge and the investment of compulsion. most of them have left. fearing that this conflict will impact them, not just impact their investment, but really impact their workers, the lifestyle, to workers, money employees from international organizations and business are doing take style and composure, including chinese turkish companies. and this has impacted really not just locally your pants, but when the investment that has really define it, yoga and the last 5 years. okay, we'll leave it there. samuel, thank you very much, samuel gets to talking to us from addis ababa. we'll update that headlines for you
4:30 pm
just on the other side of your very latest world. whether with everton, hello, we've got some wet weather. the forecast, the parts of the middle east general across northern air is a little more cloud here, just spilling out of turkey, syria, iraq, seeing a few showers here. much of the region though will last per usual be dry. plenty of hazy, sunshine highs here in dough of around $34.00 degrees over the next couple of days or where to weather that we have farther north, just running its way towards northern areas of or iran. we'll see some west a well also into the northern half of afghanistan, some cloud and rain, they're just gathering around kabul. you notice further south it does state right? state fi. it stays largely warm and fat. dry weather that stretched its way down across the horn of africa. we have got some rather wet weather just around. well.
