$26.00 climate summits and looking to build momentum maps of reaching agreements on 2 major green, high se she's deforestation and methane gas emissions on deforestation around. $100.00 countries have promised to stop and reverse it by the end of the decades. and they'll work to slash the output of methane, one of the most potent warming gases in the atmosphere. we're proposing to new rules one through our environmental protection agency. this going to reduce methane losses from new and existing oil and gas pipelines. and one through the department of transportation to reduce wasteful and potential dangerous leaks from natural gas pipelines. they have authority over that area. we're also launching a new initiative to work with our farmers and ranchers generators. climate sparred agricultural practices and reduce methane on farms, which is a significant source as well. if we want to keep the paris gold of 1.5
6:03 pm
degrees in sight and support communities in the front line of climate change, we must protect and restore the world's forests. and 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 securing the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities and shift trillions towards supporting sustainable jobs. our environments had senate clark is in glance . go heading up our coverage, nick ha, yes. well, it keeping at 1.5 degrees celsius as a goal in site is not possible without radical action on deforestation. and indeed on methane emissions. and here we have it too big announcements on day 3 of caught the 1st on deforestation $19000000000.00 to end and reverse
6:04 pm
a deforestation by 2030, which is a remarkable goal. if you think about it, in the 2nd one on methane, which has happened the past couple of hours, methane as you say, ha, more toxic than c o 284 times more toxic. and it's envelop sierra for long as c o 2 and creates this blanket of greenhouse gases that is called uniform, which is why we're here right now. so those are 2 global efforts in the fight against climate change, but much needs to be done by individual countries. and indeed, here in britain, in the united kingdom bars, johnson, the prime ministers promised a green industrial revolution in order to reach that promise of net 0 by 2050. we're going ahead now from neve barcroft, from the humble estry that's on england's north east coast. and home to europe's biggest, offshore wind farms. 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 my going to be my 1st hour
6:05 pm
showdown of apprehensive rather than when farms been erected outside and the humber and all say so it's is ideal location for me to kind of get started and it near by hold. 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. play a 1000 people, only cation in direct roles. we have more than 28000 people apply for those roles of the sun. it just shows how it captures people. imagination not about working in believe, manufacture for the whole renewables, such as a whole week. see potential growth as we grow and the blade size grows as well. they'll be further jobs created not just direct job, but also in direct jobs to support this industry. this is engineering on
6:06 pm
a gargantuan scale since the factory opened only a few years ago is produce more than 1500 of these 80 meter long blades. and very soon the problem will be making even longer ones. meaning the frank for you will have to double in size. a single turn of one of these turbines can power house for 24 hours. when i was a lot of these come down when we done all the way down, the north wall will probably be a 100. still troll is 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's changed your aspect like, i can't believe in the last 10 years how it's changed now. all the money to get rid of everybody and just leave it for the wind farms. anything the wind farms when they get and even we need, we don't get it. they're just coming in and just do we want the life. and there's obviously people let them do a lot because there's
6:07 pm
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 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. ready 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 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 or this afternoon hearing loss. you will be seeing african leaders holding their own specific summit, focusing pretty majorly on the issue of adaptation. because africa, of course,
6:08 pm
right in the a t to the worst effects of climate change in particular the country of chad. and that's where we go now, because late chad at was once the world 6th largest inland water body a but the effects of climate change have cause it to shrink by 90 percent over the last 60 years. his homage address once a busy navigation channel for light fishing vessels. this portion of the lake chart is now a crossing point for cattle decades of poor water usage, celts, droughts, and the impact of climate change continued 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 macros not enough to feed his family. and hood,
6:09 pm
we used to catch a lot of fish in pastures with little effort, but it's so much more difficult. now, i'm lucky to have even caught this much. he says fishermen like him must learn other skills to survive the hard times. the lecture is shared by cameron chad niger and nigeria. countries dealing with a 12 year old boy car. i'm insurgency that has killed thousands and displeased millions experts say the conflict is fueled in part by the effect of climate change . lick chugs one of the walls biggest lakes, but over 50 years it's changed dramatically. what one once a 25000 kilometer body of water is now estimated at scattered islands like this and pools just containing 1000 square kilometers. and that is left 25000000 people shot of food and jobs, and exposed to conflicts. 30 kilometers away from what is now the new shores of the lake. as is, hasn't harvest sorghum after 5 months of labor and
6:10 pm
a $4000.00 investment? if a culture is not good quality now. so about $40000.00 that only we get this year for full text that there's not enough because of the problem of the read that known or ended here. he says he would be lucky to get for 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 giant. for generations, this a healy and oasis, a supported millions of families, life stroke and profitable trade among nations. governments in the region are struggling to address the fears and concerns of millions who are now watch helplessly as their means of livelihoods dry up. the la deal, it did love it just as industrialized countries agreed to support developing countries. chad through its public treasury will also fund projects to mitigate the
6:11 pm
impact of climate change on its people. little comfort to those who lost so much back at as he's has his farm, his walkers continued to process theseus harvest. but at the back of their minds, they are cautious 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 chart. a dire situation there in late challenges wholly demonstrates just what these talks are all about and how important it is to come to some sort of positive conclusion, positive resolution. and also why these big announcements is so crucial. and let's get back to those. now we can speak to kevin conrad is a special envoy of climate change proper nickelodeon, executive director of the coalition for rain forest nations, a kevin walker's the program. so we've had this big announcement on deforestation to end and reverse it by $23019000000000.00 going towards it. sounds like a tall order to me. well, you can look at it from 2 perspectives on one hand,
6:12 pm
it's always great when you have some like boris johnson talking about trees and trying to get the world to rally behind reversing deforestation. $19000000000.00. unfortunately, as a drop in the bucket, we need to start thinking about a trillion dollars of we're actually gonna stop and reverse global deforestation. so that's really the challenge is that we're sort of coming at it with too little. and we've really got a scale things up and we've got to move quickly. this is what's the idea in here that this small amount of money relatively? yeah, it will, it will just ignite a processor and getting business and banks and big corporations involved. oh, how will what we've got to do we oh yeah, we've got to do more than that. i think the, what most people don't understand is that the parents agreement actually has a home mechanism that a 192 countries of agreed to implement, which is working at the red mechanism. very generated 9 giga tons of, of emission reductions. so it's something that has to happen at scale is happening at scale. we've got to finance it because, you know, as long as of
6:13 pm
a forest is worth more dead than alive. guess what's gonna enforced? going to be gone. so we've got to get astor shifting agriculture, which is one of the big drivers fuel wood, which is big in africa. those are easy, give at work with fertilizers, work with cook stoves, et cetera. and that way then we've got to get her after the commodities, etc. so there's, it's a, it's a complex package, but as possible and it's working. so you say, if this was your responsibility of somebody to write his jo, $19000000000.00 and you could take it on and sorted out yet, where would you stop? i would just put it behind the purse agreement, red plus mechanism. countries are doing it. we really should let them do what they need to do. they know their countries better than any one. we should just pay them when they are successful. so pay them when they do what they, what they say they can do. and if they stop the payments stop and that's the red plus mechanism. so instead of creating all these complicated, you know, things with you, all kinds of strings attached. just let country give them the right incentive and let them get to it. what about papua new guinea at your country and,
6:14 pm
and what's happening there because i understand that deforestation is, is trending downward. yes. that there are other issues which are very pertinent to what's going on here. yeah, yeah. yeah. you know, that's the power of the purse agreement when papa and again, he signed up with the person whom they were one of the 1st countries to put in there in d. c. ever since that day, deforestation has gone down year on air and insurance to should to say is all right . the commercials are determined contribution contributions, right? so they submitted saying what they were going to do, and they've done it because they believed the world would help them compensate for that. so they have a $1000000000.00 logging industry. prime minister wants to ban it, but what else does he do? and that's where he paying for ecosystem services a solution. all right, kevin, that great to get your perspective on this are the appreciate time. thank you. it should be all right. all right, we're going to leave that for now. we've got data african lead and summits later this afternoon. we'll see how that develops right to you. okay, thanks very much indeed. sat neck, clark county stay with us here on the new side of this plan. it's more ad including media worker and stage their own trying. beautiful symbolically holds and
6:15 pm
governments to kinds of the killing of journalists were in a poll where people are trying to pick up the cases faster. catastrophic floods and in sports, one of i'm talking top officials is under pressure. she hands over sexual assault case one and 10 years ago i t, large explosions have gone off near a military hospital in kabul before runs of gun farm. at least 19 people are confirmed that there's been no claim of responsibility for the attack so far for the land as a professor of political science, a couple university explains why these attacks are difficult to prevent. controlling such kind of events will seem more difficult than a situation where the things are not much in order since the fall of the couple
6:16 pm
into the hands of started on a few things missing. the important thing is that the committee cognition, original cooperation, international communities, corporation. considering this over the target, killing, the activation 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 the grip over the security. and the last, if they lose that grip, if the insecurity increases, i think it will somehow a discredit tolerable presence in the power bringing some breaking news now coming says out of a few peer where the council of ministers, this is declared a nationwide states of emergency and state media is reporting that's oh residents
6:17 pm
as a sub a have been asked to register their weapons. in the next 2 days, it comes after rebels in te gray say they're in control of 2 times on a major highway, leading to the capital group to reports. days when you frontier in a p o p. o, floor rebels and t cry, see, the advancing for the south inching closer to the capital, addis ababa in just a few days. the rebels from the northern te gray state, say they have seized the towns of the se on comm, bolger, which are in the neighboring amara state. the 2 are on a major highway leading to the capitol. the federal government has disputed those claims. we have. this is broken off to make sure that our children, i'm not dying from, i'm going to start, we have to make sure that they have access to access to by our different so we do
6:18 pm
what it takes to make sure that the cd is broken. if there's anything to i, this 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 it was little, there are many challenges, but i can tell you with certainty, without a doubt we will score a comprehensive victory. and the last 15 days when t p a left was crying about being attacked, i was overwhelmed with pressure from the world and phone calls. now that they are advancing, it is seen as normal and no one is calling this to get. the u. s. has been calling for a ceasefire. secretary of state anthony blinking tweeted saying the u. s. is alarmed over the t p l. s. takeover of the towns to say on culture and his urged both sides to stop fighting but down concerns that violence could escalate. what did grand rebels joining forces with the oral more liberation army and arms group in the region surrounding the capital on this, there is
6:19 pm
a new marriage of convenience alliance between at least a fraction of the oh or more liberation front. and the, the allowed her because the abby has managed to alienate the oral mo, the, including some 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 olay. and it's found lease like these. what being the highest price for the shifting bat lines off . if he'll be us war that's dragged on 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, priyanka 0. fighting in the northern te, growing region has been going on for almost a year now. it started in november last year when prime minister not ordered
6:20 pm
a military offensive gains, the t gray people's liberation front. he said it was in response to attacks on army bases. the t p says it was unfairly targeted. later that months, i be told parliament's, the military operation into gro was over. but in june this year to grow and fighters captured the regional capital mckelly. after months of fighting, and next month, the t p less entered the neighboring. i'm horror and a far regions to the south. in october, the government launched a ground offensive to push out the rebels, and the t p left says in the past few days, it sees 2 tons on the 2 roads that connects mckelly to grace regional capital. with this up on william davidson as a see your, a few analyst at the international crisis group. he says the rebels have made quick gains in a very short time. i would say that there is still a certain amount of resistance in the city and also culture area.
6:21 pm
but it does seem that following the past years since july that we have seen a significant gain by the great forces. and i think that they are predominately in control of those notation, but there is still resistance. they also say that they have pushed east from culture. and that would be with the objective of essentially controlling the tribute the trade corridor as well. that's what's great for us because a landlocked country. so that route is the access to get the key for that is that for absolutely vital to the national economy and also the, the trade route for the, for therefore the trade route for the capital to stop about. so it is a way to, to play forces able to control that card, or they can put increase pressure on the federal government by cut, by restricting the lot of tre also there is the potential for creating a humanitarian card or to, to take supplies from debussy. directly to,
6:22 pm
to great bypass and the federal government and therefore providing humanitarian much needed humanitarian ability to take what, what we're seeing is this. so the spectacular resurgence and the 2 great forces fortune 1st of this year allowing them to push out said to military for most to grand june. and then when they launched this expensive, they got some quick gains and then then some seems to her bill since then. an attack invoking of fossil has killed at least 10 people. it happens near the border with leisure for other people may have been kidnapped. troops have been deployed to the area and a search is under way. nicholas hawk is following the story from liberia's capital monrovia in detective place, early on monday morning when villagers were on their way to a regional market, attracting people from neighboring countries. when armed men in on motorcycles
6:23 pm
attack them, killing most of the villagers and robbing them of their cattle and the cyril's that they were going to sell. so much of the attacks that we've seen in the last few months is fuel by food. almost a 1000000 people are displaced in this a hell and are suffering from acute mound nutrition. no one has claimed responsibility for this attack, but it has the hallmark of the isolate affiliate dislike state in the greater sahara that has increased attacks, particularly in burkina faso. ever since the government has been arming civilians to defend themselves, they have become legitimate target for arm groups. and most of this fighting is less about gaining territory. more about trying to gain access to food. and the month of the rainy season has been particularly bad in burkina faso. and that has seen the displacements of people and attacks coming closer and closer to the capital. now the government of burkina faso has responded with an operation that is
6:24 pm
underway and using helicopters, they say they've killed several of the several assailants. and they've said they've lost several. our men, they had announced just to weeks ago in operation in the north of the country to try to regain control of the northern borders. the fiance on jamal shoji has testified before the people's tribunal on the murder of journalists. that's each angus says she wants to make sure that the world does not forget her. sure g. he was killed inside the saudi arabian conflict in assemble, in 2018 or the tribunal in the hague. there's no legal standing, but it's holds. it will put pressure on governments are accused of turning a blind eye to the mergers. a prominent journalists, women, 14 hundreds, have died in almost 30 years, and most of their killers have never face justice. will fet batson is life rose up behave step. what's been happening well,
6:25 pm
indeed very compelling testimonies among us from how to turn these, but also out of who explains what it means to lose a loved one because of his or her profession. as a journalist and how to fight for justice. it's been nearly impossible. it's sad that's 8 out of 10 cases go on, hundreds of murder against journalists and the amount the number is just going up in the recent use. more and more journalists are being killed. and the people here say it's, it's basically a safe crime because so many people get away with it. and that's the reason this people's tribunal has been the setup. it was to stop this and impunity. but it also wants to show that these testimonies really exist. i'm joined here by one of the organizers of the tribunal lea on the williams from a free press on limited direct. so thanks for having you. it's
6:26 pm
a people's tribunal. it has no legal powers. what's the point? the point is that precisely because there is no international justice system that is taking care of the gross impunity. just imagine $53.00 but, and of the murders in the world are solved, but only 90 percent of the journalists murder. so there is something that is taking states away from a following suit, with the initial actors, et cetera. there's no prosecution. we have free pass and limited. we have more than 700 requests a year for people who are in need of help journalists who are in help in need of our anywhere in the world. only alone have any prosecution here, but you see the problem is that we can protect, we can prevent, but in the end, if there's no prosecution, it won't happen. what we're trying to do to day 1st of all, to document cases, to give to people the loved ones, to 14 on have loved ones, family members,
6:27 pm
colleagues, media houses who have this empty place in there. so to give them a day in court showed that they are listened to because some of these people have never been listened to, to documented, to bring recommendations to the additional authorities on why they are failing to address this issue. but doesn't mean you're giving up on justice by having that we're not giving up on justice. we need justice. this is exactly the point. but at the additional authorities are not doing enough to take this as a priority does not enough attention. there's not enough investigation. many of these crimes are not investigated because the journalist are working on stories that are uncovering mile practices of people empower. we. we think it is logical that if a journalist is murdered, you should see chic for the motive ended in the story they were writing on. that is not happening enough. so there's lack of capacity in the additional sector. we need to strengthen,
6:28 pm
we need states to live up to their responsibility. and we do now in increasing attack against journalists via increasingly targeted for a day a work you've seen also a difference. it's not so much in war situations, but, but i understand also more and more investigative journalists are being cognizant. deny is that while the trend is and i think this is a problem that we have across the world, we see a lack of public accountability on government side. and we see failing institutions . the independence of the you. discovery is a problem in many countries in the world also in democracies. so we see that journalists often are the last resort for public accountability. it's the journalist who investigate the panama papers and then after they are published, they are attacked by this, by the states that they're exposing be the, the, to be corrupt. a leadership of, of some of these are government actors. so them, they are attacked and put it under arrest, they're attacked by fake laws. so,
6:29 pm
so this is the problem journalist are the last resort for public accountability. and i think it's because of the erosion of institutions that, that is happening. so that is why you see many, many more journalists being attacked for investigative work rotted on board crime reporting. thank you so much. i lay around so we have to leave it here for free press. unlimited. as he said, this is the main case against impunity. it's not sure any justice will be coming for these cases. so many of them here have been waiting for tense of years, but at least here at the people's 5 unit in the next coming month. the testimonies will be hurt in a case that vast in their opposing lie for us from the hague step tonight. thank you very much. in deeds is those more is still a had here on al jazeera was making the security situation at the columbia, venezuela border. worse, we'll take a look at that. plus, we'll tell you why yahoo is pulling eggs off china and in sport. what's next
6:30 pm
for boston? a star. sergio i glare at old lane. his field house can stay with us. ah whoa, whoa, we've got some wet weather. the forecast, the parts of the middle east general across northern there is little more clout here, just spilling out to turkey, syria, iraq, seeing a few showers here. much in the region though will last pay you shall be dry. plenty of hazy, sunshine highs here and dove around $34.00 degrees over the next couple of days at where to weather that we have farther north, just running its way towards northern areas of or iran. we'll see some wet weather also into the northern half of afghanistan. some cloud and rain there, just gathering around kabul. you notice further south it does stay dry, it stays.
