4:02 pm
ambitious enough. let's bring in our environment editor nick clark. next, joining us from the summit in glasgow. so nick, talk us through what's going on darn yes, thanks very much. i welcome to a very wet and windy glasgow or outside once again to get a sense of what the people on the street thing, what they are demanding of world leaders were outside yesterday with a youth activists fridays for future scotland and led by gret phone book of course we heard is probably up to about 5 to 10000 people out in the streets yesterday to day. is it altogether different scale, as you say, is a global day of action around the world. a 200 events worldwide, a 100 events in britain here alone. it's empty behind me now, but the marches, believe me, are on their way. they left about an hour ago on the other side of the city. they'll be here round about 3 o'clock and just under a couple of hours time. and again they'll hear from gretta phone book, who yesterday said it's clear the talks are a failure. it is
4:03 pm
a 2 week celebration of business as usual amongst all the crowds, many people from all walks of life, including of course, those in the very teeth of climate change at people from the pacific islands, perhaps, or even indigenous communities from the i'm who for that for them, this is not about a negotiation, it's about a matter of life and death. or let's get a sense of how things are at the march of as much as heading in this direction. we can join resumes, our correspondent, happy we can make contact with him. andrew, how to looking math? well, what are you can see this a crowd hair, a massive crowd. the streets really are wide enough to take this a demonstration. they've been falling past me for the past 40 minutes, heading in your direction, and the mood is mixed. it has to be said, there is anger. here, there is a some form of celebrate tree tactics being used to get attention. and there is real concern,
4:04 pm
particularly amongst families who have joined the whole demonstration children. and we're seeing many, many children and families. tony out as we did on day when the was the school strike. and the message primarily to the climate diplomats is one of you must stand accountable well, half way through cop 26 right now and the pressure has never been greater. there are however, some who are hopeful. i was speaking a short time ago to one of the guardians of the forest. he was a, from a drive in the amazon. and he was saying that there is such a big deal on offer. if only world leaders would keep to their promises, it might be different. and that is one of the key issues with all of the so called developments of the past week that everything is tied to a promise, just as it has been in the past,
4:05 pm
are just as they failed one by one and all the 26 years since cop became a reality and we saw these events taking place once a year in different parts of the world. but now we have a situation where by people, in great numbers all across the world have had enough. and the politicians, the climate diplomats that are known only a few streets away. the venue will in the next week, beginning down to the nitty gritty, a very tight negotiations of technical details. political details, how to make a state leaders responsible for their promises because there is no, nothing in the way of legal t attached to deforestation. nothing in the way of legal t attached to the issue of phasing out coal power. so what we're seeing now is whether or not they can just get more commitments from the various parties and cop $26.00 places like poland, a great coal burner,
4:06 pm
that's now saying it's prepared to go into a sustainable power. but it all has a price. and that is one of the biggest issue is the cop $26.00. the money the spend a lot of money put on the table over trillion dollars and lots and lots of those promises i mentioned. but as even more needed. and that money has to go to the poor countries. there is no way of avoiding it. there's no way of getting away from that . and the people here, people living in all parts of the u. k. all the parts of europe will puzzle the globe are really getting it. now that it's not just about the changing the tactics and, and changing to sustainable power here there and everywhere. it's about paying for it. paying for the, the actual investment in infrastructure and turning around state leaders in the whole desire to, to, to follow really where the power comes from and the excuse they're using mainly and
4:07 pm
many fail. it's very justified. is that the western leaders, those who are rich cause a trouble in the 1st place, mainly up through the industrial right revolution here in the u. k. elsewhere the globe. they are responsible. it's for them to pay up. we've heard the argument before, but it's even stronger on the streets now than it ever has been on. it's right across the board. not, not militants, ordinary people, moderate people demanding to see action. and you, thanks very much for that, johnny simmons with those as much as those crowds of people coming in this direction, they'll be here in a couple of hours. this whole area, gloved green behind me, will be completely as smothered with crowds as those told to begin. okay, let's say from nadine bob and now he's a 650 kilometers to the south in london. understand that thousands of protests is gathering outside the bank of england. nettie. that's right near
4:08 pm
come. of course they see. so the heart of this is the financial district of a capital. in fact, just before cop 26 granted sumburgh herself was here, a protesting with others against the continuing fine on all fossil fuel projects. very the crowd now are heading to your file. go square. it's a fairly large crowd. there are lots of different groups involved, but too many of them are from local groups who are already active in trying to engage their local communities. and i'm joined by zaria green hill, jose from a climate action. lewisham. can you tell me a bit about how your activities, particularly tie into today's theme of nature? i'm yes, we are very keen on supporting the biodiversity evolution, particularly mature trees and mature trees often get failed and inner city areas and they don't meet specific permissions to do so. so we lose mature trees, which obviously are mitigate flood risk, which is a risk for london. and extreme heat is a terrible risk for landowner, the amount of buildings and roads. and so we are desperately trying to conserve
4:09 pm
mature trees illusion and plant mall. i'm the counselor, very, very good at planting trees and less so preserving the mature trees. now, of course, so here in long term there are, there have been a lot of initiatives such as the are the you lies surcharge for older vehicles and so on. many people might wonder whether in fact, london is a good example, show the rest of the country in terms of going green or a good example. i think london has specific challenges and the particular difficult social diversity and economic inequality is in london. don't make it easy. i'm not me that does the funding situation for lots of barrels that have had their funding cuts. find it very difficult to support climate action, much as they declare climate emergencies. aluminum actually was the 1st london barrier to the care climate urgency which we're very proud of and is london. a good example is there's a huge traffic in air pollution problem. pass is being addressed up to the board upset points and it's still a massive problem. reducing car dependency in the capital m r. there is the project
4:10 pm
at the silver town tunnel which is currently going head against massive resistance . we think it's a very bad idea encouraging more trying throughout the city and under the under the river in this case. and you less will health and there is no traffic neighborhoods, advancement over the place i'm trying to. it's very, very difficult, however, is a very difficult context to work in a fifty's in many ways, a very sustainable because people are so close people share things and there's a lot of food going going on along with. great, well, that's encouraging to hear. we will be covering, we'll be following those protests as it goes on throughout the day. it's getting bigger and bigger. it's hard to say how many people are here, but that's certainly a where the focus is on them. and particularly there are many young protesters. it came to show that they are taking this, this matter very seriously, and they are demanding action as they are in gloves. go to insure their own futures . not any. thanks for that. so that's
4:11 pm
a picture in london. another approach us taking place across the whole of the united kingdom today. let's go across the channel now to france to paris, alexia braun has been following events, the following the purchaser, alexey, what have you been saying? well, it may not be on the same scale as glasgow or london, but i think definitely the mood is the same. there is anger and there is prostration here amongst the people he ran to me, but this is the city where back in 2015, that landmark paris the climate agreement was reached back then there was celebration, there was jubilation. but now there's just a very real feeling here that a lot of the promises that were made back then i had failed to turn into sort of any concrete action. i don't know if you can actually read the sign over my shoulder there, but there's also a fear that it's that same inaction will we say that this, this current a cop so that it says an action at cop 26 that will lead to deep in 2050. so
4:12 pm
yes, a lot of anger at government at big business as people say, is people just really not sticking it to the, to the promises that they made. especially here of course, with the french president emily mccall. and when he came to power, he was sort of trying to be a global leader. and if a climate change, but people say that actually that just been a lot of talk and not a lot of action from him. he has tried to push through some climate measures, things like a take a tax on gas and diesel that spots the yellow vest protests a few years ago. there was also a push to try and reform the constitution to try and make it so that preserving the environment was enshrined and that and that, that also failed. and so people here, i'm frustrated and there is a real feeling. another sign i read that really to get the climate climate change people to listen to it, to, to make sure that there is real change. that there is, have to be nothing short of a revolution. a feeling here that really it is. it's people that process like this
4:13 pm
one at protest around the world to really have to try and keep government accountable, that they do stick to the promises that they're making at these major climate summit. and then we do see real change going forward. yeah, the lexia and motions running high anger and frustration, very much part of the beard on the streets right now i go, let's get a get a sense of why climate justice is such a focus here in glasgow. we're going to go to burgundy in africa, which is a country which has one of the lowest emissions of greenhouse gases in the world. but despite that, it's still badly affected by climate related disasters that speak to a correspondent, catherine, soy. and catherine. you could have re telling you that the realities of climate change didn't yes, believe it or no, nick, this was once
4:14 pm
a road. and now people from that neighborhood of java have to use both to cross to decide to take their children to school and go about their businesses. and these has all been caused by fled a here in the capital boom laura. so we have seen maureen's erotic ruin for and also we've seen a river with cc, which is very close by to this area, breaking its banks in during the long rain season. in april we've seen a lake and anake as well. and what a, what a level there have been rising. so people here are very concerned about what is happening and when you get out of wood, you more to more mountainous areas we're seeing more landslides are in the north. we're seeing prolonged a drought over prolonged dry spells as well. so people really worried about their future. they seized the receiver in broody, it flows into lake tank, anika africa's deepest and shared between bruni,
4:15 pm
the democratic republic of congo, tanzania, and zambia water levels of both the river and lake have been rising largely because of unusually high rainfall the last few years. they facts here have been disastrous . the beeble hockey's manner now needs a boat to take her children to school on what was previously a rude, every rainy season. an overflow from the river floods this road and the houses. she says it's been a nightmare to none. envoys. it's another rainy season and we're afraid we might be displaced again. we normally leave our houses in april during the long rains, but everything has become so unpredictable. in another area, lana bender shows us where she lived before the water came about one and a half years ago. this neighbourhood was thriving, but many people have since left. they've been displaced by floods. some of those
4:16 pm
who spoke to say they've tried to come back, but it has been difficult because every time they do and it rains, their homes get flooded again. ballooned is, government has relocated some people to dry areas, but those who need the help are too many near bender and her family. and now crowded into this makes ships tents and account for displaced people alongside thousands of ivers. grab gar, and i live here with my 10 children. it's difficult sharing the tent when drains water gets in and destroys our belongings. sometimes my children have to go to school with weird books and uniforms. ya! my be since 2018. there have been dozens of natural disasters that have affected nearly 300000 people. agencies say up 210000 people have been displaced in the last 2 years. scientists call this a climate change crisis disorders or what's responsible for number of catastrophes caused by floods and abnormal dry seasons,
4:17 pm
especially in the north. i cannot even begin to explain the magnitude of this problem and the impact talk sectors. the government needs to educate sensitive communities to prepare themselves on how to deal with these disasters. nearly 1000000 bunions leave along the coastline, others in rural areas prone to land flies. many told us they continued to suffer the devastating effects of a climate change related phenomenon. that is not their doing. they say they're trying to survive the best they can. what that meant, officials have been saying that they are relocating some people who live close to the to the river and the lake and relocating them to dry areas. but then there are limited resources. this is a government that is right now struggling to acquire foreign currency, which is cost right now. it is also struggling with sanctions that were imposed on it back in 2015 when there was
4:18 pm
a political crisis. and then there's all these other parity that the government has to deal with. but environmentalists and people here really that we've been talking to a thing that the government really needs to prioritize this issue of climate change because it's affecting all sectors of the society when it comes to agriculture, health, poverty levels, and so one. so these should be a priority for the government, and a lot of people here have been telling us that they are worried. this is another rainy season, and they're not sure if they have to flee again. catherine, thanks very much. indeed country. so in burgundy, and just a perfect resolve, which is one of the dozens of countries right around the world are facing this threats of climate change and the difficulties of taking it owner and the threat to livelihood and to staying alive for many people. and that's why we see these pictures of the protests on the street because it elicits so much anger, so much frustration we've been hearing from our correspondence. the one here
4:19 pm
gloucester, the mileage is here and glossier, they'll be here in less than 2 hours. now i will see them filling this whole area for speech and so forth. you can see it behind me. the so windy here is had an effect on the stage or trying to tie down the orders or hopefully the weather will stay wide enough. everything to proceed, sienna, cover us. okay, nick, thank you so much, sir. it's a global day of action now. clark will be crossing back to you throughout the day. thank you so much for the time being. for here with the news our and al jazeera, there's plenty more ahead including we'll meet the ecologist turning back time to wild central irelands pete bogs. prices are rising, but wages are not more on the economic relief package in pakistan that aims to help millions hurtling, hurting from high inflation and own goal, gives mattress or city the lead in their local darby against united stories coming up with gemma and schools. ah,
4:20 pm
the 1st will tell you about sierra leone, because the deputy health minister is now saying that 99 people have been killed in a fire that followed a fuel tanker explosion. it happened in the capital free town after that tanker collided with another vehicle. and the number of dead is expected to rise. dorsey jabari reports. oh, a crowd of people had gathered near a fuel tankard that had been involved in collision. unaware of what was to happen. moments later, dozens of people were dead or badly burned. when the leaking fuel tanker ignited a huge fire and explosion, it happened in wellington and eastern suburb of sierra leone, capital freetown, according to local media, a bus full of people nearby was completely burned. the fire also incinerated shops and market holes in the neighbourhood and caused extensive damage. omar for fauna
