i all that we taught isn't a witness capturing change on out. just say the challenge is getting people to engage ah, over 80 countries have signed up. this is fantastic in the mood is updates at the climate summit as world latest pledge to slash methane emissions. and reverse deforestation. ah, good morning, toe everyone. i'm come all santa maria. this is the world news from al jazeera. if european government has declared a state of emergency years to go and fight of say they are advancing towards the capsule. why explosions, cobbles,

military hospital kill 19 people, and i sold claims responsibility, and americans go to the polls into key states and dozens of local elections contested president jo biden's, popularity ah, so you as president joe biden calls it a game changing commitments are pledged by dozens of countries to slash methane emissions by 30 percent. by the end of the decade, that agreement announced on day 3 of the cop 26, some at the 2nd of 2 major commitments. the other was 100 countries agreeing to reverse deforestation by the end of the decade as well. on tape, the market to james base reports are from glasgow. this is one of the main causes of the climate crisis. humans have for centuries raised at the world's forests, which naturally protect the planet by absorbing carbon dioxide bots,

an agreement cop $26.00 if the words are matched by action could be a breakthrough. more than the 100 nations have pledged to reverse deforestation by 20347, potential to reduce, reduce carbon globally by more than one 3rd by more than one 3rd. so we need to approach this issue with the same seriousness of purpose as d carbon eyes in our economies fraud after throwing 14th. but i, me, another leader, the president of brazil, the country with half the planets tropical forests. jerbill sanara also supported the initiative in a video statement, even though act of his say, the destruction his sword during his term. in addition to the announcement on forest, another important development, a new initiative to cut methane levels, again signed by over a 100 countries. by the year 2030 methane doesn't stay in the atmosphere as long as

carbon dioxide, but it's 80 times more potent in warming. the earth, despite some positive developments, there is still war, is about a lack of ambition from those gathered here. frankly speaking, there is no dignity to a slow and painful death. you might, as obama island, instead of making us suffer only to witness our slow and fateful demise. leaders of the g. 20. we are drowning. and our only hope is the life ring you are holding. that theme of the western nations not doing enough was again reflected when representatives from more than 20 african countries called for more support for the continent. the un secretary general antonio good terrace, has warned. the divisions between the developed and developing world could completely derail this vital summit. james bay's al jazeera glasgow, and we will have more on that story a little bit later in this broadcast. meanwhile, ethiopians government has declared

a state of emergency after shop escalation and fighting in the north and a year now since it launched the crank down on the ticket region rebels there. so they've taken 2 key towns on the road to the capital, addis ababa that there is disputed by the federal government. prime minister, i'll be out there is called on all eat the opium, to take up arms against the to grind fighters. the supporters from priyanka got to a new frontier in a few p. i swore rebels antigua, i say, the advancing saw the south towards the capital, addis ababa. the federal government has declared a nation wide state of emergency, but it might the decree or does the state to have the right to detain or arrest anyone suspected of working with or assisting the terrorist group. and the emergency order dictates that without permission granted from a designated authority, there is to be no gatherings or public protest allowed by prime minister abi amad has asked all if you appeal to mobilize and fight back against the rebels. 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 in just a few days. the rebels from the northern te 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 to make sure that our children, i'm not dying from hunger distribution, we have to make sure that they have access to an access to buy out. so we do what it takes to make sure that the cd is broken. if gladys monitoring it is what it takes to, but we will, the united states has warned the trigger. i people's liberation front all the t p a left against any such move. let me be clear, we oppose any peerless moved to us, or any attempt by the t p. o to procedure us del concerns that violence could

escalate with the green 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 a fraction of the liberation front. and a because the abby has managed to alienate the all mo, including some harass. 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 and his family's like these, well being the highest price for the shifting back, the lines of if he appeals war, that's dr. don't 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 founding priyanka out here,

there is growing international pressure to bring an end to the, to great conflict with president joe biden is suspending ethiopia from a key trade program for what he calls gross violations of human rights. meanwhile, u. n. is urging an immediate end to the violence to enable the delivery of life saving humanitarian aid. we have been in touch with the officials in ethiopia, and the secretary general himself has spoken repeatedly with prime minister abbey ahmed. to see what can be done to bring the violence to a halt and, and also of course to allow for the full scale return of humanitarian assistance to the places that need it. including places like mikaela in a far as he from david shin, former us ambassador to ethiopia, who says, revoking that trade agreement will have big implications of the economy. routes are a very significant decision by the united states. it is important to understand

that it hasn't happened yet. in other words, as of july, there's a january 1 day at which it may become effective if there is no movement towards he's in ethiopia. and yet that happens. i think he is. ready likely to lose about a quarter of a $1000000000.00 and potential exports to the united states. that's a lot or come through like the p o p. and the reason now for this session is the situation is getting worse on the ground. what is driving us concern at this point? the magic area prices as clearly worse and worse and t gray region. it's now expanded into part of our region. the small part of our, our region was getting out of control and it absolutely has to be brought to a haul, or you're going to have the death of many civilians. and ethiopia, sedans,

main opposition, lead us as the deposed prime minister could return to form a new government. mean even now he has held the meetings width of dela, honda ok remains under house arrest. tens of thousands of people that are still been demonstrating against the military take let's take you back to the cop 26 climate summer to but specifically one country on the front lines of climate change in denisia, where the president says this country can reach its goals on time, but only if rich countries increase their financial support. joker data is one of the signatories, committing to and deforestation by the 2030. and denisia is home to the vast tracts of forest. he also says it might be able to reach its net 0 go earlier than 2060 if rich countries pay what that promised in climate finance. let's bring a let together with jessica washington reporting from chicago, or, oh gosh, sorry, i have to drop something in the studio. let me carry on. you join it,

but i guess you have to bring all the things to get it done with the fact that there is deforestation. it's important that a country like indonesia signs up to that, but it's still need the help as well of these big nations. well that's exactly right. come on. as you noted, it is important that indonesia is one of the signatories because indonesia, along with brazil, and the democratic republic of congo, account for the majority of the world's forested areas. and as, as you noted, indonesia does need assistance with the cities are the responsibility of the indonesian government to protect these forests. but there's also a role that major international corporations play in terms of their work with the suppliers who contribute to the destruction of these forested areas. and it's those major international corporations which ultimately benefit from the destruction of indonesian brain forest in terms of indonesia progress on stopping deforestation. it is rather a mixed bag. the government is quite optimistic that things are heading in the

right direction and pointed to recent data, which indicates that in 2020 entities as deforestation rate fell by 75 percent to its lowest ever since they started monitoring those figures in the ninety's. but environmental groups will say that will, it's really not that clear cut. and in fact, they will point to some factors which may have led to that drop in deforestation rates in 2020. but they do also have concerns that it's not so much a reduction in deforestation as a whole, but rather a shifting of the problem from areas such as cali month on and sumatra, where they have been long standing problems in terms of deforestation to eastern indonesia. what, what is rather unclear is how this pledge will affect ongoing commitments that the government has already made in terms of infrastructure projects. we know that the government is came to develop what it calls a food estate which would involve the conversion of millions of hector, as of land into farm land. and some of that includes forested areas in papa. and

it's for that reason that environmental groups in indonesia say that eastern indonesia pump was specifically is the last frontier. if we're talking about this fight against deforestation. but you, jessica washington reporting from to catheter to afghanistan, where these 900 people have died. another 50 have been injured in an attack on cobbles, largest military hospital among those killed was the commander of the taliban special forces who was also in charge. a couple security i thought claimed responsibility for the attack. shot bellis reports now from campbell. oh, when a cool consensual cobble and tele bond security forces run towards the side of an explosion, smoke leads them towards dalton military hospital, across the road from the now abandoned us embassy. one device was jason aged at the hospital entrance, allowing attackers to move in. for a few minutes later,

2nd exploded inside the compound. with this man, films from inside the hospital repeating, god have mercy on us. as he watches the attack take place people shelter where they can as fires from the explosions, burn and gunman moved between buildings. dozens of others managed to reach the back of the hospital compound, watch towers, and security walls that were meant to keep them safe in size. now the biggest obstacle to escape above afghani was helicopters, circled, flown by pilots from the previous government. when a part of the telephone's defense hello responded by sending these special forces to the site of the attack after the 1st explosion created quite a large cord. and around with the tech has taken places spread. it gum far has continued throughout the afternoon. that could happen, but there were 2 explosions and 6 attackers and all of them were killed. the

security forces of the tunnel banner in the area and our special badger unit here who are very quick in opperation. the whole area is now under our control. the taliban nor houses secure the military hospital because they know its weaknesses. they attempt at themselves 10 years ago. i suffices also targeted the hospital in 2017. then they dressed his doctors to evade security. more than 100 people were killed and injured. i saw his challenge, the tele bonds hold on security since it came to power in august. the group is carried out 4 major bombings and killed hundreds of civilians. the worst was a cavalier port. tens of thousands of people evacuated. the last, foreign military forces withdrew. the main thing that people really much need and 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 discrete taliban presents in the power to tell about his dom plate. the threat of isolated the group is getting harder to ignore telephone casualties. and mounting as i saw targets its members, particularly in eastern provinces. still in cobble taliban members respond like the previous government would have just a few months ago. the sit up a large colon to protect the public special forces in a cover deployed intelligence units. gather evidence that people here are hoping for more stop to attacks altogether. charlotte bellis. osha's era. couple in the news ahead. america's public health agency, green lights cove in 1900 vaccines for children. between the age of 5 and 11 president biden's calling at a turning point in the pandemic. i'm john henry in ford of prints were fuel is stairs and the gangs are hijacking trucks.

oh, hello there, let's not in north america. it's been a chilly start to the month for many central areas in the u. s. we've had temperatures below average across the great lakes. the states like illinois, iowa and missouri. we've also seen some snow fall in michigan, and as we had for the easter eastern parts of canada, quebec has seen a bit of a wintery mix linger now to the northeast of the u. s. it has dried up nicely now that that storm system has moved away, but quite a bit of cloud cover remains along that east coast. but for the wet and windy weather, we have to head to the west coast. we've got a weather system that's brought some really wet and windy conditions to western areas of canada. british columbia, seen some torrential downpours, and that system is going to pull into california, oregon,

and washington over the next few days. so it is looking rather wet here. but down in the southwest is, is looking dry, a breezy, lots of sunshine coming through. it's down in the deep south that we are seeing those severe storms rolling across texas. pushing across into louisiana, we could see some flash flooding as those rental rains continue. now as we move to central america, it's looking a lot finer and dryer for mexico. the heavy rain can be found in belize, costa rica, and panama. ah ah, well young into a world of comfort and sunny sex without you business class, which way your privacy is paramount and your experience can sit back, relax in your own private space and let us take care of everything.

catera always the air line you can rely on lou the me on i'll just be where these are the top stories that have been 2 major agreements made at the top 26 summit leaders of agreed to count emissions of the world. second, most polluting gas maintain by 30 percent by the year 2030 and also to reverse deforestation. by the same time if he's government declared a nation wide state of emergency is to grow and rebels advance further south. the u . s. is going for an end to the conflict of suspended ethiopia from the key trade

program. and i thought it was behind the killing of 19 people in an attack on cobbled largest military hospital among the killed was the commander of the town about special forces. there was also in charge of cobbled security protective united states, early election results coming in these races a year ahead of the crucial mid term elections. most voters choosing mayor's and other local officials. but there's also considerations on referendums on state policies and then be very closely watched races in virginia and new jersey. those a desire to become governor of those states, phil laval in washington, dc, keeping an eye on things that actually fill out just looking at some of the, the us networks. it looks like things are looking good for the republicans and those 2 states. but only just at this point. yeah, i mean, what a difference if you, i was, makes i come all because, you know, earlier when the house closed, it looked like the democrats were, were in the lead, according to the exit polls for virginia. and then that gap went the other way and

it looked like glen young. can the republican was, was way in the lead back up at one point was 10 percent. it's now not roach about 3 or 4, but it's going up. it's going down and you know, until we get near it to the result because it's a swing state. we're not gonna really what's happened there because it is a, it is such a tight race. but we've got these 2 different battles going on. we've got virginia as a say, a swing state, and that could be a huge problem for joe biden will get up about the minute. but also we've got what's happening in new jersey. we've got the incumbent democrat who was hoping to be the 1st democrat to be voted into office twice in 40 years. it looks like, according to the current trajectory and the current polling and the current numbers that the republicans are just going to inch that want ahead. and you know, when you look at the kind of policies that they've been looking at, the jack sheets around here is the republican has really been pushing some national policy policies. we've been talking a lot about abortion. he's been talking a lot about schools as well, especially single critical race very, which is

a controversial election issue to get through with how racism is taught in schools . and those appear to be played has advantages. but like i say that, that race in particular, new jersey is much, much tighter and, you know, anything can change in the coming house. ok. so why don't we, why didn't things out then in the meantime, i consider what all of this means for joe biden. and the democrats, i mean, he's been at the top summit worrying about the whole world, quite frankly, while at home, he's got to worry about his, his presidency. yeah. and you know, just a few hours ago, he stood in the called the cops summit, and he said, i think we're going to win. and those words are probably going to come back to haunt him if you look at what's happening right now. because this is a huge issue, virginia as a phase, a swing state, you never know what's gonna happen. but when you look at presidential results, back in 2016, they weren't for donald trump 2020. they went for joe biden, so it really goes either way. but this is being seen as 2 things. it's being seen as a referendum on jo biden's presidency thus far. remember his approval ratings are really not what he wants to be. secondly, it's being seen as an indication of what we might say when it comes to the midterms

because of the last 11 gubernatorial governorship races. 8 of them have seen that candidates party that go on to do incredibly well in the midterm. so that is something that's really important to watch. and also there is the jordan, donald trump elements here because you know, he is kind of length glen, glen young can in a way he has endorse glen young. can glen young can, has taken that endorsement because remember, donald trump is very, very popular with some members of the g o. p. but he's also very unpopular with some members in miss geographical vicinity. so he's had to take that endorsement, but also take it at arm's length. meanwhile, donald trump has quite happily taken credit for what appears to be law is looking like a republic when he sent a message out tonight flanking the mag and movement. and that raises all kinds of questions, because if glen young can winds, does this mean that there is more support for donald trump than perhaps joe biden, and the democrats were thinking, what does it mean for a potential re run of donald trump in 2024 which for job by the, by when the something he very what we wanted to think about philip l in washington

d. c. thank you, phil. phil in the u. s. and we've got final approval, therefore, fines of corona, virus vaccine for children. the food and drug administration had already said the shot, the safe for children. i just 5 to 11 smaller doses recommend as now officials at the cdc. i've given the green light for it to be administered to 28000000 youngsters. alex baton is a vaccine ologist, an adjunct professor of michigan university who we spoke to about that. and he said it really comes with a huge relief as it's been a rise in the number of children contracting new cove. it varies, it's milestones, actually, nuclear shipment that we are getting to the point where we are immunizing, the little sudden that's probably measure that going back to normal life and specially schools and elementary schools and middle schools. so it's really great what she meant by that is a great job by cutting down in the,

in the dose dose that has been shown. and those little kids, 5 to 11, was one 3rd of those given to the, the young adults on the previous explanation. so basically we're getting these kids receive one new one, they are the those and they're immune response was in fact equal in different compared to the older kid and adults, which is a great thing. so basically, when you did use the dose, you know, to due side effects, you reduce any other issues that might be with the vaccine would be, ah, coming out the different variables, especially the delta with the high efficiency in the infection. we seem that more and more kids are getting infected. so therefore, we think that this is a great achievement. and this is a great rest of the vaccination of tech company. yahoo says it's pulling out of

china because of what it calls and increasingly challenging environments move is largely symbolic. as many of yahoo services are already blocked by china digital censorship. but it is just another tech found to exit google left years ago, microsoft linkedin said last month, it would also close its chinese site feel shot dr. is in hazy, i considering for the strike action after several work as were kidnapped by armed gangs this week. the union is insisting on their release, but a strike is likely to compound the fuel crisis that's brought much of the country to a standstill. this report from john hendern importer prince idled lines of cars snake through haiti's, capital drivers biding their time till the pumps come to life without fuel. the porter prince economy is, is motionless, is the cues of vehicles as police protect the tanks in the haitian heat. ah, frustrations run high with 2 drawers to go

to work, but return. there is nothing. widow, what of anything to do then it is about going to wander, pierre, who drives a taxi? locals called a tap, tap his waited 3 days. yeah. about i fight wick out. some one was beat up monday. i am still here. this is where i slip. i can't get fuel, i can't do anything. i can't work. i haven't it in the money and my pocket is only for gas. the fuel crisis that has paralyzed the western hemispheres poorest nation follows a political crisis after the assassination of the nation's last president and an earthquake that killed 2000 people earlier this year. fuel is slowly starting to trickle into florida, prince, when the lines are along and it runs out fast. when that happens, drivers,

you have to wait for the next shipment, hoping it won't be hijacked by gang. over the past several days, a number of trucks have been commandeer, the drivers have been kidnapped, and what fuel the gangs don't use for themselves. they sell on the black market. the lack of diesel fuel that powers hospitals throughout the country, leave some in the dark with no lights, women at this hospital try to wait until de la to give birth as tanks across the nation, sit empty upward. what we me, this has the and we just need few. we don't need violence. gotten busy despite government promises. the fuel shortage shows no sign of improving, leaving many to wonder how much worse the situation in haiti can get. ah, john henderson, al jazeera, puerto prince, only france appears to have backed off from sparking a full blown trade war with the u. k. over fish in person talks will be held this week with the french holding off on imposing her threatened series of sanctions.

but as the lexia brian reports from northern france, many the industry is still struggling with all the uncertainty. midmorning and bologna sir mare and the fishing boats returned with their catch. but for many, it's smaller than usual. yes, would you please are chip fish water little but we have to put up with this. we don't have any choice for the past 10 months. we have not been able to make a living, get all wasn't given a license to fish in british waters, even though he says he's been working in them for years. his boat didn't have the required tracking equipment to prove that. and the paperwork he provided was rejected. french officials are infuriated saying dozens of vessels weren't given the licenses expected by british authorities. president emmanuel crohn threatened a series of sanctions if the dispute wasn't resolved, but hours before a deadline, he said he held off, negotiations are continuing. some here are frustrated by that decision saying

france should have been more aggressive. others believe the measures could have backfired. good on it. will. the fishing here is often a family affair and patience is wearing thin passmore. i'm honestly, i don't understand them to give me a license, but i don't go often to their orders. i would've prefer them to give it to my brother. worked, reese, been 80 percent of his time there. it's means i have the right to it, but my brother doesn't. it's estimated psalm and frances biggest fishing port. i've lost half of their income. you some of my mo, we're at a dead end in relation to fish. we've been living with this uncertainty for years while the british decided to stay in or leave the european union solutions need to be found and they need to stop playing with the economy. and the lives of those who work in the fishing industry like the u. k denies. it's acted unfairly. it's welcomed frances move to pause sanctions calling it a major de escalation. the you case breaks it minister, david frost to say,

to travel to paris on thursday for more talks report, i think i hope that people will be smart enough to find an agreement. we are depending on the politicians. we have nothing left to do by the way of one, but it has already been on 10 months, and it's a lot of fishing, makes up less than one percent of either country's economy. but for this community, it's vital, and they need answers soon, alexia brian al jazeera baloney sir. mer northern france. ah, it's half past the hour, and these are the top stories, 2 major agreements at the cop $26.00 summit. leaders would agree to cut emissions of the.
