hi, that's the way it's been since time. can the strong take it away from the we thought lines investigate how climate change his pissing an oregon town to breaking point. we will fight because it's in a black. we are literally to the point the people are gonna start she age other when the war to stop on al jazeera. ah, you cannot now sit on your hands as the world asks you to act as worldly does urge to go further in their climate pledges. china and the u. s. commit to concrete measures to limit global warming to one and a half degrees. a . hello, joe. now this is al jazeera alive from london, also coming up un says 72 well food program drivers have now been detained in ethiopia. as alarm grows over the widespread arrests of ethnic to grind,

the war of words escalates between fellers and the e u, leaving hundreds of migrants stuck at the polish border in freezing conditions. and despite over infection spreading to $21.00 provinces, china sticks to its 0 tolerance policy. in china and the us have issued a joint declaration at the cop $26.00 summit in glasgow, promising to work together to enhance climate action, particularly strengthening the implementation of the paris agreement. this after a draft agreement was released focusing on keeping temperature rise to below one and a half degrees celsius to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. it calls for countries to submit long term plans for reaching net 0 by the end of next year. analysts say the current pledge is put the world on track for $2.00 degrees of

warming. and scientists have warned that global emissions need to be cut by 45 percent by 2030 and to 0 over all by 2050. well, this deal calls for more financial support for developing countries beyond the $100000000000.00 promised in 2009, which won't be delivered until at least 2022. and it urges countries to accelerate the phasing out of coal and subsidies for fossil fuels, but he doesn't said any firm dates or targets for this. nearly 200 countries will now negotiate the details as consensus from all nations is required. while addressing the conference u. k prime minister boris johnson, told leaders, the still a long way to go to get the commitments needed to save the planet. you cannot now sit on your hands as the world asks you to act because the world knows what a mess our planet is in the world. is hud leaders from every country consonant

stand here and acknowledge the need for action. and the world will find absolutely incomprehensible if we fail to deliver that, and the backlash from people will be immense, and it will be long lost. and frankly, we will deserve their criticism and their opprobrium. when you're logged onto andrew simmons, who's at the cop 26 summit venue in glasgow. andrew, the latest words coming in from john kerry, the u. s. climate envoy about this deal between the u. s. and china saying it has strong statements about the emissions gap and an urgent need to accelerate action to close that gap. but is it enough to change the dynamic so much was expected or hoped for from china? is this a significant moment? it certainly is, it's a dramatic moment to no, i was expecting this in the wake of a pretty down beat message. you heard there from the u. k. prime minister for us,

johnson a suddenly this a declaration joint declaration. we're anston an unusual way with the u. s climate envoy carriers you just mentioned. i'm declaring that the 2 biggest economies in the world. we're going to, we're 2 together to raise climate ambition. not only are they the 2 largest economies in the world that the biggest polluters in the world, and this has been the real issue, particularly china that would not commit to the same sort of a standards as many other countries. so really at that there were still some more detail to come in fact a lot more detail to come. but there's a definite agreement. it seems on the emissions gap with methane in particular, and a need to accelerate action a to increase it to actually decrease should i say emissions of c o 2 as well.

so these are the so called greenhouse gases at the real number of the problem here . the, the issue, the major issue that's been hanging over all of the negotiations has been the lack of a lack of not lack of will. but the lack of ability of flex for countries to commit to bigger cuts are in emission. yes, there were some successes on the sidelines with these are just these deals described as the coalitions of the willing. but these had all sorts of issues over promises. whereas this deal, it would seem at 1st sites between china and the u. s. is going to make some concrete decisions and there's been a number of other reactions. i mean, the reaction i received because i was with a france timmons. i was looking at the notes now i'm france to women's are about to interview him live. when this announcement came through, now, timmons was in on it,

he brief, confidentially let with simmons who is by the way, the leave or the european union's delegation. here he had been in on the whole thing. and he said that this was really a really important development that he felt it was, it was a surprise to him. he didn't expect it. and he felt it was, had some dynamic detail with it. it had a, it had the promise of biggest things to follow. so what are we seeing here? we're seeing this come after a statement from boris johnson in which he was moralist. trying to kick stake leaders into action by telling them that they needed courage, that they had to actually tell and negotiators to go further to actually go for the 1.5, stick to the 1.5 degrees celsius limits enshrined in the paris agreement of 2015 and stay with it and, and he really was as close to getting on to his knees. he could get in diplomatic

tubs and, and that it was a pretty harshly put it pessimistic air to it. because this end text, this text draft text or is effectively like a communicate and he will summit and it has quite a complicated process in the way that it's actually passed because you have to get the, the agreement of all, nearly $200.00 parties income to it. any one of them convicts or aspects to do the deal. so it is, it is going to be a very difficult way ahead, but there's no doubt whatsoever that this announcement, this surprise announcement is going to roll things along and perhaps give it a, give the whole proceedings a fresh momentum and had already drunk. we'll leave it there under simmons with positive news from the cop 26 summit in glasgow. thanks. 100

ah, united nations 72 truck drivers delivering aid for the world food program have been detained by the ethiopian government. the contractors were held in samira, the gateway for aid convoys, trying to reach the to grow region, which the un says he's under a de facto humanitarian blockade, u. n. and humanitarian sources say they were arrested during government grades targeting ethnic to grounds under the new state of emergency. they're accused of supporting rebels in the northern region. it comes just a day after it emerged at 16, you and workers had been detained in addis ababa or the head of the ethiopian human rights commission. daniel beck. kelly says he's deeply concerned about the mass arrest of ethnic to grounds. since a state of emergency has been declared denito pierre, the they, deborah maddox commission has been monitoring and following up saturday st. off not

just 16, but actually hundreds of people. and there appears to be an ethnic i element to see satirists, which what he says that in a sense that are largely ethnic, the grands have been had targeted to for how search and artists and we have been following up the case so far. hundreds of people, i do understand that's a set of images. he gives the power to police to a suspect, to our race, to people on the ground. so for the reasonable suspicion, but we are concerned about at least scoffed the state of emergency, and it's a direct thieves to being applied in a wrong way, which is why we have already expressed a concern and we continued to monitor or a soft say what other people read one who say, news, ethiopia,

state minister for foreign affairs. speaking to al jazeera earlier, he denied allegations of arbitrary detentions, i don't think and believe it is this through the ethnic profiling, but people might be out of that. i don't think that i children, i don't have that information and if that happens, the government doesn't allow me to click on the, on the date of emergency this issue that people should be treated with. and there must be adequate reason that happened and any person. so somebody got it, this might happen, but they want to be better, my systematic one, if it happens that it also be a criminal act than anybody that does would actually be held accountable. but they want to be systematic. and there is no systematic harvest, just because of your profile. and if the police might have found out some suspect, then they will be bound to pay and then also do do investigation. if any individual does not have adequate evidence to judge against them, you must be released. but finding some people who will not get that my truck

systematic. but because we're in complex situation, you know, how many people are being attacked and how many adults that are being done. and then you know, a number of actors. so you must have been much careful individual and that that should not be done in the us at the lee and then police must do their job. but we would also look into that the process, if there is any, every validity, then that must be addressed to europe now. and belarus is accusing the european union of provoking a refugee and migrant stand off on its border with poland as an excuse to impose new sanctions. it's the latest in the back and forth in the crisis that left about 2000 people stuck in freezing and dangerous conditions at the eastern edge of the e. you know, the baba has more they're not asking for much. in fact, these children just want water journalists are banned from this area, but the person filming the scenes on the border between belarus and poland says

there are babies as young as 2 months old here. some families haven't eaten for several days. at night, temperatures dropped well below 0. at least 2000 people, many of them from the middle east, a stuck in makeshift camps along the razor. wire. social media footage from recent days shows refugees and migrants, escorted by mast bellow russian security towards the border. sometimes shots are filed and people have often been beaten as in these pictures filmed by polish forces. mama all day. long though the e. u says belarus has been encouraging migrants and refugees to enter poland and lithuania in retaliation for sanctions imposed over human rights violations. e u ambassadors have now agreed. this justifies a new round of sanctions on belarus, and the block wants action to stop more desperate people arriving on its borders is important. which plain then we will to the original trend threes into the 2010 threes. what are the current sequences of the policy is also important,

which is clear to the allies, what are the concrete effects of the decisions in the system? and in fact, in the launch of an hybrid attack against you. but michelle bachelor, the united nation human rights chief, has issued a statement effectively condemning all sides in a stand off saying, hundreds of men, women, and children must not be forced to spend another night in freezing weather without adequate shelter. food, water, and medical care. under international law, no one should ever be prevented from seeking asylum or other forms of international human rights protection. for its part, russia, a traditional backer of belarus, is accusing brussels of being hypocritical. she quoted you, she can grant him. the situation is indeed it very tense and there's a tendency to escalate tensions that causes concern. it's apartment, that a humanitarian catastrophe is looming against the background of europeans reluctance to demonstrate commitment to the european values. in a phone call,

german chancellor, angular merkel has appealed directly to russian president vladimir putin to exert his influence on the regime in minsk. but as governments play the blame game, the humanitarian situation becomes more dire by the day. nadine baba al jazeera or european commission president ursula on the line says the e u is ready to take further action if necessary. we absolutely share the assessment that this is a hybrid attack of an authoritarian regime to try to destabilize democratic neighbors. and this will not succeed, we will protect our democracies. we agreed that we coordinate our outreach to the countries of origin so that they take care of their citizens not to fall into the trap of the lucas ankle region. and we agreed that we will look into the possibility of sanctioning those airlines who facilitate

human trafficking towards mins can then that you belarus border will its head to the region now and talk live to al jazeera is acid beg, who's on the polish side of that border and i said not a lot we can see behind you in the darkness there. what have you been able to see bring us up to date? well, we were stopped by the security services hare, the soldiers here as well as police. now they won't allow anybody passed the point behind me. that's because it's been the state of emergency since september, around a 180 towns and villages in the regions bordering the belly roost border have been put under that state of emergency. now those powers haven't been use in this country, says the country was under communist rule, the agencies says that that state of emergency is hindering their efforts to get to those people that may need help. those refugees are migrants her. now what we're

being told is that they are around $15000.00 soldiers, polish soldiers of incentive to support the police and border authorities. now we're not allowed to pass this point so we can't see what the polish authorities are doing to try and keep those people out there. the polish prime minister here has said that those people won't get through that. this border isn't just a line on a map, it sacred in many polls of shed blood for it, but is also accused moscow of masterminding or this crisis or but as it stands, we can get past, we can't see what's taking place with that temperatures. here are very, very cold and the set to drop below freezing and is at least 2000 people on the other side of that border with that much shelter reject without much food or water, an agencies just con, get to them. so i mean, let's get this straight. we're talking about hundreds of people to 1000 people in freezing conditions. they're desperate. they're hungry, they're stuck in no man's land, unwonted by either side. i mean they,

they can't survive in conditions like that without any help at all. right they going to really struggle and that's the concern that this is a humanity if humanity arian crises that we know that they are children also then these are freezing temperatures. now, between the back, the political back and forth that we've been hearing the european union saying that this is a hybrid attack. the herb vellows authorities in by the roost, according on the european union saying, well, you're not respecting human rights. or the reality is that they are people. and at the center of this bella, ruth has bust people to the border and the pole, if the polish authorities are not allowing them to pass to get in to the country. and there's no support for them. agencies are not allowed in because of the state of emergency. now these people want don't want to stay in poland. they want to make

their way, or maybe to germany or the e u countries. so both sides are, are talking tough or using put strong political language. but at the heart of a, as he said, a possibly around 2000 people, including women and children in freezing cold temperatures. asked burglary for us there on the polish border. thanks very much. and still to come, this half hour afghans brace for a harsh winter caught between starvation at home or displacement abroad. and former president french president francois hall on testifies at the trial of the 2015 paris attacks. ah hello. we've got 2 areas of low pressure to significant areas of low pressure causing problems across europe over the next couple of days. this is our old storm
