6:03 pm
led by gretta thornburg 1000 sums out 210002 out on the streets and expressing that dissatisfaction of what's happening here at cult 26. and the lack of action coming from well need as negotiates is there. and today is on an altogether different scale. we've got $200.00 events around the world, a 100 events here. and right now we have a look. you can see the vanguard, the approaching army of tens of thousands of protest is here and glasgow about to descend upon us here at laws go green gratitude bug. i shall tweak to the picture little bit earlier, showing something to protest. and saying shamrock in there about $30000.00 protesters and they will swap miss whole area around with here and they'll be there's people talking including gretta herself, who yesterday said it's clear the talks here in claus girl failure. cop 26 is just a 2 week celebration over business as usual. all manner of people represented that pacific island is indigenous tribes from the amazon. that's local trades unions, even before brigades,
6:04 pm
you do miss young families. everybody who just wants to put pressure on the government and try and get them to, to act here in glasgow and for a lot of those people. and those that they represent back home and say in the pacific or in the emerson is not a matter of just negotiations. it's a matter of life and death. nick, this has been something that you've been covering in the late up to and now during the club 26 summit. in your opinion, what is the mood of protest is, is it one of anger all of one of hope? and there's not a lot of hope. it's not, there's a big trust deficit between the protest is and between the less developed countries and the rich nations here than geisha ages. and you know what they really want to get out of it. and did i read before we came to this place of it? we travelled around and we did spurs films on how climate change in nations. we went to agreement,
6:05 pm
we saw the melting ice cap and the impact that's having on communities and how it's affecting sea level rise around the world and how it's affected ocean currents. we went to remain here and saw the wholesale devastation, a huge tracks of virgin ancient forest plundered by the timber mafia by illegal logging companies. we went to greece to see just how people were trying to recover from the devastating wild fuss of the summer and trots. they wouldn't cover new tools, they, it'll take generations for them to holy recover. and when you see that, you get a real grip on just how much anger and frustration there is around the world, and how much pressure they want to these people want to push a world leaders to make something happen. nick, thank you for your update and we'll cross back to you as the evening progresses. all right, let's go now live to our, put in a dame, bye bye. who's in trafalgar square? hello than a dame. the demonstrations in london have culminated in
6:06 pm
a rally way. you are, what are you expecting this afternoon? and the same thing. ah, bill, emily, the march is that you can then see and probably hear behind me started or near the bank of england in london's financial district, where gret at amberg, in fact, appeared just before cock 26. joining demonstrators who were calling, who were protesting against the continued financing of fossil fuel projects, oil and gas initiatives, which are still going on controversially, for example, there's one in northwest england, which is plans. it's not clear, it will go ahead, but the government here in the u cable have refused to rule it out. even asked that you host or climate conference in scotland. that's one thing that the protest is here. want to see divestment from fossil fuels, whether a whole range of other things that they're calling for. one of the themes here is climate,
6:07 pm
justice. and what they're saying that that means is that the focus has to be on making sure that the least advantage members of society are actually a sure it's more of their livelihoods in future when it comes to dealing with the climate crisis. so that highlighting things like air pollution in cities like london in many areas that some of the worst from article pollution mainly from transport, one more areas of deprivation. i'm particularly areas where people have color, members of ethnic minorities will live in greater proportion. so it's the idea that there has to be social justice and racial justice built into our responsible. they're also talking about how poor communities around the coach are going to suffer. i know already starting to suffer from coastal erosion due to a man made climate change as well. so again,
6:08 pm
more the reliance on the emphasis rather on government putting in the financial to make sure that communities don't, has to move on can actually continue to make a living in the future. another thing that's, that's noticeable here is the large number of young protested we were talking about hope. well, i think these are the people who are not hopeful, they are worried. and a lot of the older protest is a well aware that there is an increasing herbal burden on young people's mental health as they see what they call a lack of urgent action for i've seen for example, elderly members of extinction. romanian saying that they're here for their grandchildren to make sure that they can tell them they did everything that they could to make sure that they are protected from the worst damage of climate change in the coming decade. so it's a very diverse protest here. lots of different issues, but i think underlining this is the number one, the need for urgent action,
6:09 pm
quicker than what governments have pledged sofa. and secondly, been porous. members of society are actually taken on board to with this movement. again, thank you for the update line press in trafalgar square, campus updated as to how the rally progresses. still on the issues of climate and burundi is one of the poorest countries in the world. and one of the lowest emitters of greenhouse gases. but most of its humanitarian needs are now caused by reoccurring climate related disasters. flooding has got worse and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. katherine sawyer reports from the capital, wouldn't bull jumbo era. they seized the receiver in broody, it flows into lake tank, anika africa's deepest and shared between bruni, the democratic republic of congo, tanzania, and zambia water levels of both the river and lake have been rising largely because
6:10 pm
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 on vanessa. 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 lanyard 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 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
6:11 pm
dry areas, but those who need the help are too many near bender and her family. and now crowded into this makes sheeps tense and a comfort displaced people alongside thousands of ivers reba i. i live here with my children. it's difficult sharing the tent when a drains water gets in and destroys our belongings. sometimes my children have to go to school with weird books and uniforms jamante. 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. he sawdust that's responsible for number of catastrophes caused by floods and abnormal dry seasons, 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
6:12 pm
communities to prepare themselves on how to deal with these disasters. nearly 1000000 brewed years move along the coastline. others in rural areas prone to live life, many told as they continue to suffer the devastating effects of a climate change related phenomena. that is not their doing. they say they're trying to survive the best they can. cathy sawyer al jazeera, which emb laura broody plenty more head on al jazeera, including cleaning up the devastation activists in india, blame illegal, lining the race in floods and lance lives. and in support. we'll have all the highlights from the piece cup in afghanistan. ah, to the us now and president joe biden says he's one trillion dollar infrastructure bill passed on friday, and it's once it's a once in
6:13 pm
a generation investment that will create millions of jobs. it had been repeatedly delayed because of differences among democratic party members. another vote on a social welfare bill will be held later in the month. yes, today i don't think is the exaggeration to suggest that we took a monumental step for an estimation. we learned that our economy created 5600000 jobs. since we took office in january 20th, recent unemployed rate of 4.6 percent. true for years earlier than the vast majority economist projected that would happen. and we're just, we're just getting started. we did something odd that's long overdue. that long has been talked about in washington, but never actually been done. let's get more on this with penny calhane, who's lived for us in washington, dc. hello there petty, the president has been out spreaking this package. what else did he say? well, just to clarify for the president,
6:14 pm
the country has had massive infrastructure bills, but not for decades after tech gauge. this is something he is correct in that you've seen repeated members of congress come up at year after year and say the nations infrastructure is quite frankly, an embarrassment. never yet. we've had a high profile scenes of bridges simply collapsing with cars on them. it the nation consistently ranks pretty low when it comes to just the engineering abilities of the roads and infrastructure. so this is some, there was a bit of high drama throughout all of friday. going back and forth wrangling on can the how side to see if they could get the votes and they did pass it very, very late in the evening. so you saw the president come out this morning to claim victory because this is what he's campaigned on. this is part of the build back better that he said he was going to do coming out of the pandemic. and again, this is something that congress tried in the past, but consistently failed. so what's in it? $1.00 trillion dollars, 110000000000 dollars for roads. 66000000000 for royal high speed rail. unlike most
6:15 pm
of the developed world that actually has high speed drains, the u. s. really has very limited high speed trains and they don't go nearly as fast as what you see in asia or in europe. $55000000000.00 to clean up the water supply community after community across the country or finding lead in their water supply that's going into kids drinking water, which is very dangerous for their mental on basically growth intelligence growth. 60000000000 for the power grid. this is all going back to clean energy climate change. they really want to put a focus on this. you're going to see 1000000000 spent on charging stations because a lot of people say i'd like to buy electric car, but it's a really big country and i don't want to get stuck in the middle of it. and so what they're going to darn do is have just basically a line of these charging stations. hopefully that can happen in minutes, not hours to trying encourage people to say yes, you can get the electric car and you can still get to grandma's house. but the problem is again, the grid not able to handle that, the electrical grid. so they're going to be spending millions of dollars to do this
6:16 pm
. now this is a political calculation and a large part the president said, the reason he's able to get this done is because in the last election, just on tuesday, democrats didn't farewell in states like virginia new jersey. so he said this send a message to congress. we were elected to do something, so do something the broader political calculation. busy is under donald trump, president former president donald trump. we saw democrats really losing what had been their course supporters, which is working class americans. and so they were start, they've been losing that demographic. that demographic in the vote. a lot of this infrastructure is going to be pushed towards union jobs. so the, the president can come out and say, look, the reason you can still have your pipe in job is because i pass that infrastructure belt. that will democrats be able to message that. so far they haven't, but you what you saw this morning is the president trying to change that. thank you very much for that update petticoat have live for us in washington. they say, okay, let's bring in associate professor of political science at marquette university. philip rocko, who is live for us in wisconsin. thanks so much for joining us. associate professor
6:17 pm
. we had a little bit from a correspondent, patty, about why this was just so important for president bought. and why do you say it is being critical for him and he's presidency or, i mean, i think it's important to think about this as a, a, an objective that has sort of eluded multiple presidential administrations. infrastructure is something that really fell to the bottom of republicans agenda. items has sort of dogged democrats and republicans alike. and there is this tremendous need in the country, not only for revitalizing really important pieces of infrastructure that really have been left left to to ra and have been under developed. but also i think for a resurgence of a publicly created jobs with good pay at some level of job security. i think those
6:18 pm
are really core sort of democratic party issues, but also issues that reach across the rural and urban divide that tends to structure our elections. and so i do think from that perspective it's quite important for by and to have pastors and the philip that they were allas of wrangling between democrats. that ended in an impact between the progressives and centrists. what were some of those sticking points to you saying what compromises had to be made as a result? well, i mean, i think if you just look at the this side of the legislation, just the infrastructure from the time that by and introduced it, the size of the package shrank by 80 percent. so we're talking about all of these initiatives like cleaning up our water supply and, and getting lead out of water. the real question you have to ask, and the question that built way reporters resolutely refused to cover is,
6:19 pm
is this going to be enough to get it done the priorities that are nominally in the legislation? i think that really the consequence, you can call it a bipartisan piece of legislation where there's been a lot of compromise in negotiation both within the democratic party and between democrats and republicans. but the real question at the end of the day is, do these maintenance projects actually accomplish the goals that they set out to accomplish? and on a lot of these issues, if you talk to people at the coal face of the operations level, i think they'll tell you that this is not enough to do things like high speed rail . that it's really just the drop in the bucket when it comes to to let in the water supply. so i think a lot of the sticking points for conservative democrats, we're really just cost. but what that meant is that the actual material substance of the legislation changed in ways that really might make it a more of a drop in the bucket then than democrats are letting on. phillip, one of the next steps to get this package through. well, i think the,
6:20 pm
the infrastructure side is taken care of. right. the main thing the democrats now have to do is sort of sell that side of the package and, and talk about what's happening as it's happening. the other issue is this bill back better, a bill, which is the budget reconciliation bill, which contains a good chunk of biden's agenda. things like child care, i'm a universal, a pre kindergarten programs, things like that on that is waiting on a, a legislative fiscal score. the conservative democrats have insisted upon despite the fact that essentially the administration already knows how much is going to cost. it's not clear whether not conservative democrats have asked for that score just as a stalling tactic. were they really genuinely care about what's in it, be seen to have committed to voting on the bill once that score is and, and voting in favor of it. but they are now they've essentially gotten what they wanted with infrastructure bill. and now they have
6:21 pm
a little bit more wiggle room on bill back better so. so the question is, what are they going to demand in exchange for their votes? how much more of the president's priorities they can try to cut out of it? we appreciate your insight. thank you very much. as i say, profess at phillip rocco in wisconsin, thank you. good to be with you. at least 99 people have been killed in sierra leone, and many others severely burned in a fight that followed a fuel tank or explosion. it happened in a capital free town after the tanka collided with another vehicle. a number of dead is expected to rise. dosage of ari ripple. 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,
