one selections to hound. in 2023. iraq's leaders have condemned what they're calling an assassination attempt on the prime minister as a hideous and cowardly attack. on drone song, it must suffer academies, residence in the highly secured green zone, in the early hours of sunday pose have closed in nicaragua elections present. daniel ortega is running for a 4th term which is expected to win at least 40 opposition figures including 7 candidates have been jailed or banned from running. official results aren't expected until next week. our latin america, salisia newman, has more from neighboring costa rica from what we've been hearing from people wait sources we have inside of nicaragua. there has been a very, very low turn out throughout the day, particularly what are usually the most, the most busy holding stations. very early in the morning, soldiers and police and send denise the party affiliates, and sympathizes went out to vote very early. but after that they were very,

very few people outdoors. most of the streets were empty. so it does seem that the call for the one to boy caught this polish. they are because what they say is a vote, but not an election because they have really no one to elect. they have no choice. they say he'd be in mind that the most competitive candidates, all of them, were either in prison sentence. the exiles are barred from running all together. hundreds of thousands of people have ronnie to cross ethiopia in support of government forces. battling a rebel advance degree and rebels. have captured strategic towns along the highway to the capital and threatened to move on, addis ababa. and those of a headlines on al jazeera, i'm on using our website that i'll just hear dot com force. i have one use again after inside story to say to me

we are tired of their blah, blah, blah. i lead us another leading less talk more action people around the world demand progress of the cop 26 climate conference in glasgow science. i say the pleasures so far don't go far enough. so what's needed to make that change. this is inside story. ah. hello and welcome to the program. i'm rob matheson, the cop 26 climate conference in glasgow is out. it's halfway point. world leaders

have spent the past week debating ways to cut carbon emissions and limit a global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees celsius. but many environmental as say, they're disappointed so far. i wrote as those held what they called a global day of action on saturday, hundreds of thousands of people valley than cities, including london, sol, nairobi, and sydney, the largest was in central glasgow demonstrators. many of them young people, demanded immediate action from governments. if the you know how politically was yes, i am angry. we've been saying this for years. i knew the point of no return, but governments and just not listening. many schools are being destroyed because of the team where that event. i need someone to tell me how to explain to families who are losing their crabs and some jobs and flags that seem to never hangs her head on. they didn't do enough for climate this week at the club,

26. and it's very scandalous for us because it's a crime against humanity to do and to do nothing against their this section of life on earth until you let them get it exec i want my children to live on a beautiful planet in the future. not only my children, but all the children, the trees, the birds plants, and all the people. i think we have to leave a beautiful planet. i think we owe that to our children and the planets. well, here's what's been pledged at the summit up to no more than a 100 countries of greta and deforestation, and land degradation by 203025 nations, signed up to stop spending money on foreign fossil fuel projects by next year. and several governments are promised to phase out the use of coal in the coming 10 years for rich nations and in 2 decades for developing countries. they also said they've cut methane gas emissions by at least 30 percent. but rich nations will

have to pay more to help poor ones, tackle the climate crisis, some wealthy government, so place to contribute towards a $100000000000.00 fund set up for the developing world. ah. okay, let's bring in our guests in glasgow. david embargoes call me. he's a climate activist and a medical doctor in sterling, also in scotland. mark rascal, member of the scottish parliament and the scottish green parties spokesperson on climate and the environment. and in mulatto mozambique ditty, but now got international climate justice and energy program coordinator at friends of the earth international. welcome to the program mark, i'm going to stop with you. where are people confident? at any stage that politicians at cop $26.00, we're actually going to be able to put together something that in practical terms was going to work. i didn't think the confidence has been there. no. and i think probably quite a lot of the blame for that has to come the do of the u. k. presidency. i don't

think we've seen the kind of intensity of diplomatic effort that we saw before the power, se, agreement 6 years ago where the french state had hundreds and hundreds of bilateral meetings and multi lateral meetings with the parties ahead of that, that critical cop summit, which deliver the parents agreement. now that you take, i will say that there are reasons for that. and the kobe crisis being one of those, but of course, caught, was delayed for a year. so, you know, there is concern that despite the commitments we've seen this week, this isn't going to match up. and i think you know that the analysis from week one is already showing that the commitments that parties are already made only amounts to about 40 percent of the cuts of emissions that we're going to need to make desperately in the next 10 years to keep the world safe within 1.5 degrees of global heating. so we're, we're, we're not there yet. it feels that this is coming very late on and clearly the

world it started decades ago. we wouldn't be having this scrabble at the moment to try and make commitments that are actually gonna deliver us and deliver what the science demands that we deliver duty. we're the commonly house phase, a thing, global act, local. how much do political promises actually matter? when it comes to tackling the results of climate change, the political promises do matter because it's what the countries are putting on the table because the climate crisis is really so inherently unjust. to defect those, the most that have done the leads to created. so we need that leadership, we need those promises coming, especially from the rich countries who have done so much to create this crisis. but at the same time, we see that this is all hi, what's been coming out of the car this week. it's so much about chrissy, so much hype the forest agreement, the fossil fuel agreement, there are so many loopholes and caveats and all of those that it really does it a dream about feel like, you know,

what we say is that people power and what's actually going to drive this transition and is going to bring justice, it's important for us to hold our leaders to account because we're the ones who elected them. they need to be responsible to us, the people, not the polluters. at the same time. we know that it's people all across the world, 150000, but must been glasgow. yes. they all of those that much all across the world that to going to really bring this, this transformation that we need. very digital talking about those protest we saw in glasgow there. we mentioned before that many of the people who processing were young people. now we often talk about young people putting climate change as a priority, but aren't we specifically talking about young people in rich countries? one would imagine the younger people in poor countries don't really have the option or perhaps even the ability or even the, the intention to deal with climate change because their needs are so much more of a priority to them. yeah,

absolutely. that's the right and it is got to say that for me is that while the events where i have seen the less them on the diversity ever, unfortunately like a particular patient and the end of also of people from low middle income countries reflect awesome that they don't discussions that we're having. i do feel like the type of discussion about it that i have here in the past few days are mostly related to high income countries. talking about solutions that might work in countries where there is more resources. for sure. there's more adaptation already in place, but night might not be feasible in settings that are still facing issue such as mentoring mortality, children, nutrition being an issue. so that's still a complicated matter. i feel we have heard that these the most exclusive got ever. i definitely agree, and these are unfortunately, because we are here to make money to make progress. and we need to have the people

who are facing the consequences of climate change. the part of the discussion here, they should be the ones where explaining why be what the issue is. they should be the ones explaining what are the solutions that are feasible right now, but it's not happening unfortunately. that how much of a problem do you think it is that people who are often discussing climate change? certainly those with the highest profile. discussing climate change, very often the ones least likely to see the impact that it actually has when we talk about rivers and sees drawing up an animal is dying. this is a real crisis because we really need to hear from the frontline communities, indigenous peoples, local communities who are, whose bodies are on the front line of this crisis. and it's not just this crisis, right. the climate crisis is not separated from so many of the crises that people are facing an energy crisis. how many people across the globe, 800000000 do not have access to electricity? biodiversity crises. so people who are on the front lines of these crises really

must be the ones that we hear from and your question today, it was really beautiful because there are so many youth also in our southern countries. it is difficult to be an activist in many of our countries because livelihood in some bible sometimes take priority. but we forget that there are you and so many vulnerable communities in the frontline communities that are facing goal and gas extraction. and these, these youth are also fighting back we see this year and was a big my organization just based on be on thought, which was friends of the muslim b is working with you in impacted communities to be able to raise their voices. because it's absolutely critical that the leaders hear from people who are most impacted by these crises. not one of the phrases that is used more often these days is climate fatigue? of course, now are we seeing a fatigue with the discussions around climate change, or are we seeing fatigue way for some see,

is the empty promises being made by corporations and by politicians? i mean, i don't think we're seeing fatigue with the debate. i mean, at all levels the society around the world, you know, climate change, the impacts of climate change being discussed. you know, i spent a good few days and run up to court, going into schools in scotland and listening to the amazing ideas that young people having, you know, even a 9 year old coming out with in relation to how we can make easy changes to tackle climate change. so i think the important thing is that we listen to those voices and what i'm seeing around glasgow at the moment and around the world is a lot of innovation. a lot of citizens assemblies coming together, sometimes sponsored by government. she work out, you know, the best way to cut missions, the best way to adapt to the climate change is coming. i think the critical thing here in our, is for governments beyond these 2 weeks in glasgow to listen to their citizens. listen to some of the challenges,

but people are facing at the moment in terms of adapting to climate change, but also listen to the thoughts around how we can put in place solutions. you know, we've had a good debate here in scotland around free bus travel, for example, for young people is something that young people being telling us directly that they won't see to live it. so they can cut climate missions but also give them the opportunities for education at work which, which otherwise they would struggle with. is that something that you know, greens and government are delivering here. but we need a, we need a much deeper dialogue with citizens around the world, about the impacts, about how we adapt to them, but also listen to the solutions. i think one of us, inspiring things i've heard this week has been the contribution of indigenous leaders around the world to have a very different way of thinking. but they can also come up with the solutions as well. wish and not just for the here and now, but for multiple generations to common. given the indigenous people that lands cover about 80 percent of the worlds by diversity. if we don't listen to indigenous

leaders, we're not going to find the solutions to tackle with the climate and the nature emergencies you've been. you're obviously there. where do you think the breakdown happens between politicians, between corporations and the grassroots, is aware sources of information like the indigenous people you are talking about who are able to provide this kind of information? what, what's, why is that line broken? why is that link not working? we need new ways of engaging with systems around the world. i think that's why some of the climate citizen assemblies that have been been working around the world been very successful. the one in france for example, recommended to that government that they should be curbing and restricting the growth of domestic flights. and the government listened to latin. they and they, they took action. but, but i think of course, as in elephant in the room here in glasgow and, and it's the corporations, it's those vested interests that need legally 2 piece are shareholders. and of course, are working behind the scenes to come up with false solutions that they want to see

governments push. and although i've not seen, stands from oil and gas corporations inside cott this week. it's very clear that there are a and is written through a lot of the energy strategies and climate strategies of all the governments that we see and as an attendance. so you know that there is a, there is another dialogue here which is with those powerful corporations that clearly want to resist change. some of them, of course, are prepared to move fast enough and de carbonized, but others have got assets. so they want a high on to and they wanna keep exchanging on gas until every single last drop is gone. do you think that seeing for one of a batter phase superstar climate change activists like a sun bug and others, of course, does that inspire people or do you think that, that intimidates people that perhaps on an individual basis, they feel that they can't do anything. i'm because the only way to get anything done is to have that kind of platform. i definitely think that is inspiring to see

young people leading the climate change movement right now. but i do think that he's also reflect that the climate change issue is an issue of injustice. i cannot climate change is they'd be getting their genetic injustice. have every thing he require for young people. and the lesson to actually like bob on going to the 3 and going to school strikes. he's a huge indicator of how bad the situation is right now. and how much, how much every, how much action is needed to take place immediately. unfortunately, i have seen that representation matters and we should be also, as i said before, including faces from the global out who are also doing amazing work at the local and regional level in terms of be can we change activities working with throughout the or on the safe or stations, and we have making some progress that is for sure. i mean, we have, for example, one is and that was also part of the,

of the different is tried in this couple of base has been doing an amazing work well. but we can definitely do better in terms of meeting invoices from the global saudis to the climate change movement and raising those voice. well, did see let's talk more about the messaging because the media uses was like, crisis and catastrophe. disaster and fight. when it comes to tackling climate change, how much do you think that has an impact on the way that people respond to climate change? that's a great question because what we are seeing is a trotting out of this field. narrative is despair and desperation narrative. and that is very disempowering, so we actually as climate activists, we fight against that because we talk about what mark was saying. but there are communities that are making real change right now on the ground. and they've been doing it for a long time. there are communities who are running renewable energy cooperative.

there are communities who are taking food production into their hands and doing that in a good way and stopping deforestation. you know that there are communities fighting for gender justice and about the valuing of care work. so all of this is happening and, and we know that that is what we need to be supporting. and i also wanted to respond to your question to the, if you don't mind the issue of the lead of the personality. i think it's very inspiring that vanessa and grant are up there and speaking, we need to have so many more of those wonderful young women and men standing up and talking about the need for 4 people power. we need so many more people to be joining this conversation and it is very inspiring to see a few people, you know, to be able to, to see how they get traction in this way. but at the same time, we need to be recognizing the beauty and value of, of what each person brings into the fight. because it's going to take all of us to have this transformation. it system change that we're trying to bring about. it is

really big and it seems daunting for sort of you know, all of this seems really daunting, but we just can't give into that feel narrative. it's meant to divide us. we need to be really talking all the things that you might us but, but the beauty that's in the world, the work that's already happening on the ground and. and again, going back to the abuse of the franklin community. those are the voices that we need to be hearing and lifting up because that is what we should be valuing bar. how easy do you think it would be to turn the messaging around and why hasn't it happened before? i mean, i would decrease to see that there's the incredibly positive things happening around the world. and i think it, you know, and now in a multimedia rage, you know, you only have to go on your phone on twisted social media platforms, youtube, and you can find the most incredible stories. i think the key thing is to now amplify those voices. and i think the government's to help to empower citizens as

well. so one thing that we've had gotten for a while is that climate challenge fund where community groups can bit into this fund, and they can do all sorts of amazing things that can help people in fuel, poverty, with energy efficiency work, they can set up a bicycle recycling initiative or food production or whatever, and i think it's for governments to really empower people. i think in terms of narrative there's, you know, that there's, obviously we've seen the most devastating images this year, particularly floods in germany, wildfires the arctic as well. and i think that there is an element of fear there, but i think you know what we accept. we need to very quickly move on and recognize to actually and adapting to climate change. and in tackling our missions we can make the world farrah and a better place. and, you know, we live in remarkable times is incredible amounts of innovation happening everywhere in society at the moment. and is the opportunity to make our lives much better and much farrah as a result, but there will be some battles along the way. and you know what i see yesterday and

the streets in glasgow was, was anchor. but i also saw a lot of hope and a lot of credibility from people was knowledge about how to tackle leaves this climate crisis and how to come out of it with a better society. let's focus much more in our well being and human values. rather than just endless economic crux debate. do you think it'll be more effective if we stop saying we're trying to solve the climate crisis and started talking about managing climate change? because solving the climate crisis right now seems like an enormous and almost impossible task. managing it and dealing with it sounds a little bit easier. yeah, i can. the messaging definitely needs to change. unfortunately i, i do think that held is not included in the, in the climate change the scores right now. it should be because climate change is i hope christ is actually, i mean, so imagine if we start to start treating climate change the same way that we treat

call for example, that's something that is affecting the entire world. and it's something that it is the only killing of every day. i mean air pollution is basically killing other slowly every day and it's getting worse. so that means for example, children and other lessons are actually being receiving more pollution every day. since it's getting worse, it will affect them more as well. so i different is that the message needs to change. extreme weather events are still also increasing. who will cause people to die and not on the, i mean, besides i, and there's also some from in the order consequences to these extreme. what are the bands, for example, defects on education that it was mentioned before as well? in my day, how many schools will be close in the room? what are the bands, or how would we all seem create a cation and how to go from the, the gender inequality, and so many other consequences? so i do think that the messages messages need to change the treating climate change,

the climate change crises of a health crisis to begin with, and also start discussing what can we do now immediately because we can say a lot of things that will be happening by 2030 or 20402050. but we need actions that are taking the going to take place, right. how that are affected and that actually are feasible. the star with them to you know, you want to come in there. what would you like to say when we talk about saving the time it'll saving the planet it seems really daunting. i think we should be talking about for everyone to have a life of dignity. that's what's important. every single person on this planet. we talk about energy efficiency, you know, this should be enough for everyone, but not abuse by some i think that's what we need to be talking about. you know, these numbers that they talk about 1.5 degrees, 2 degrees, those and lives that with that, that it really means you know, when we say or we can, we can keep it to 1.5. but maybe we'll keep the global temperature rise on the 2 degrees. what effectively thing is that so many people will die?

we're willing for them to die because we're not, you know, we're not willing to hold the line. we need to be talking. we need to be talking about how we can have the lives of dignity for everyone on this planet that everyone has the basics of transport. what, what mark was talking about, you know, transport in scotland so that everyone can have energy and food and, and transportation communication, the basics that people need and that they have enough. i think that's what the conversation really needs to be about. this isn't something in the future, this is about so many investors that are taking place now and have been happening for the last 500 years. and when we put that in context, we realize that we need to be supporting everyone to have a better life. those who do not have it at the moment and those who are in excess to look at the fact that that's not necessary. we don't actually need to have people with so much excess that we should be looking at at everyone to have a good life. you know what, what in southern africa, the concept of

a boon to is often talked about, which is i am because we are, we look at ourselves as interconnected and we are connected not just was us, but also to the plan that mark we've been talking a lot about the level of messaging here. one of the key elements of messaging, of course, is nor your audience. we've done a lot of research globally to into climate change. we know a lot about how that is happening. do we need to do more research? do you think into how people are actually responding so the messaging can be better targeted? well, i think perhaps some of the concerns here around, you know, what, what, what, what is the purpose of that messaging? so, you know, if, if the message here is that actually it's down to you is every day citizens to do your best to tackle climate change, then that's all about the behavioral change of the individual. i think where my analysis would come from is to say that as being said already that we need to put

in place the system changes in order to tackle climate change. so, you know, if, if you're living in fuel poverty, in a tellerman and glasgow, your, your choice is to change your heating system or, or to do things differently to cut your emissions are extremely limited. so if you have a change in the energy system, if you have a government that will support you to make your house more efficient than that's the kind of system change that we need to tackle climate change. so we're gonna think there's, unfortunately we've run out of time, but i want to thank you very much indeed for your contribution. and i want to thank all our guests, david, the embargo, harkell, me, mark rascal and duty, but now go for being with us. and of course, thank you to you too for watching. we can see the program again, any time by visiting our website. i'll do 0 dot com for further discussion. go to a facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha, inside story. new can also join the conversation on twitter. i handle is at a g inside story for me,

rob matheson and the whole team here. bye for now. ah a great said the damage caused to the precious grass. lots of chile is being reversed with one of the world's biggest ever conservation projects. they're pretty emblematic, i was a pedagogy and if there are plentiful and they're calm like this one is, then you know that the system is coming back and that they feel no threat. and

that's why you know, i far re wilding patagonia on al jazeera to know where the fires are and where they are going. greeks look to the skies worrying, sign helicopters have been getting closer to major towns and cities. this one is just a rough, didn't become much bigger than if you can see by the trade trucks, the fires, climbing up the hill just behind us on the ground. this is what the business of fighting fires looks like. holding back, the inevitability of mother nature's fury is dangerous and exhausting work. we're trying to give whatever with the hope is the fire will stop when it runs out of fuel. but for the moment, the fuel is everything in sight. question the narrative. you don't have ways to shake weight or dc information real or not. you don't have any way to verify, identify who is telling the story that those device and these are multi national corporations that are interested in profit,

anticipate the consequences. the media was complicit in perpetuating this myth. i'm going to tell you that i think that many people died because of the lifting pe, deconstruct the media on out this era. ah, so i am fully back to boy in doha with the look at our main stories on al jazeera. so don's military leader says he will not be part of any future government after the transitional period, general abdel fat avvo han told al jazeera he's committed to transferring power to civilian leadership. once elections are held in 2023. last month the military took power, dissolved the civilian arm of the government and declared a state of emergency. it is our pledge, a pledge we made to ourselves, the sudanese people and the international commute.
