it with dignity and respect. i with the outrage over his detention comes a growing risk of confrontation, rubbing 1st year walker, how to 0 timothy. ah, i quit look at the main stories before we go and a draft global climate deal has been met with disappointment and calls for great ambition. the interim text from the when's climate summit in glasgow is calling our nations to revisit and strengthen their pledges. but in the last couple of hours, united states and china have jointly announced greater cooperation to strengthen their targets. delegates have until friday to finalize attacks that aims to keep up a warming to less than one and a half degrees above pre industrial levels. the united states and china are releasing

a joint declaration which lays out how we will limit warming on this planet. and how together will take action here at the car as well as in the 1st come 1st combine. had a conversation with present she a number of weeks ago in which both of the leaders express their hopes that despite areas of real difference and we know there are we could cooperate on the climate crisis. the united nations is saying 72 truck drivers delivering aid for the world food program have been detained by the government in ethiopia. now the contract is were held in samira, which is the gateway for aid convoys that are trying to reach the tag ry region, which the u. n says is under a de facto humanitarian brocade, un and humanitarian sources say they were arrested during government rates

targeting ethnic to grinds under the new state of emergency or accused of supporting rebels in the northern region. it comes just a day after it emerged that 16 un work as had been detained in the philippine capital, addis ababa and better roost is accusing the european union of provoking a refugee and migrants stand off as an excuse to impose new sanctions about 2000 people are stuck in freezing and dangerous conditions. at the union's eastern edge, you is accused batteries of deliberately sending the morgans to its border with poland in retaliation from posing sanctions and says the stand off will lead to widest sanctions against it. that's it for myself and the team here in london. full lines. is the program coming up next? if america held up a mirror to itself, what would it see in a sense, race is the story of america. what's working and what's not?

a lot of people were only talking about this, it wasn't at the top of the agenda. if america can handle multiple challenges on multiple fronts, we need to go back to school. the bottom line on al jazeera, we have no more time to wait. while i fire were covered in a blanket of smoke, the whole west is in drought. 2021. in the summer of record breaking hayton extreme drought across the america west. this is water. the dry field looks like an organs klamath basin filled to running dry because the federal government has shut off water to farmers. most years, farmers here use the water and upper klamath lake to irrigate their crops. that lake exist so that all this land out here could have water. that water, ours. we should pray for rain. we need water. these farmers

won't be able to stay here if they can't get water. you alone are the lord. if you give life to every, hey animal and dr. hussain with all their water, it is all about them having the power over us and that powers water. the government is withholding water from farmers to protect endangered fish that are sacred to native american tribes. here. these fisher mode, the 1000000 species of plants and animals, the climate change is striving to extinction worldwide be destroyed their habitat for agriculture. purgation for colonization, for profit, that's one. the last of a dying breed higher creation story tells us that if the

fish die, the people die. but before that happens, we will fight because it's in our black stills like war this world that we're living in now. oh, on this episode, lines. climate change in supplies, one of the fiercest warren wars in the west, and pushes an organ town to its breaking point. oh, no upper claim. it's like the heart of the struggle over water and organs, klamath basin, or thousands of years. the lake team would sucker fish that sustained the clamor tribes. vast woodlands acted as a filter for the water. then,

in less than a 150 years, agriculture pushed the fish to the brink of extinction. as farmers trained to wetlands to grow potatoes for potato chips and hay for dairy kills. now deprived of this filter, the water turns toxic every year. and want to see the, the impact 1st hand with my eyes. i want to see what it is we're fighting for. this is the 1st time i'll be able to see it face to face. how many of those fisher left on all told? round $24000.00. and no babies to replace them? no, no driven. every year the cloud, blue green algae clots the water in the lake,

state health authorities weren't people and their pets to keep out with nowhere else to go young, succor fish, die in mass before reaching adulthood. defer you are to have your dog drink that it would become incredibly ill if not till this year. because of the extreme drought, extracting water farms could put the remaining fish at risk. there is very much a correlation between the quality of this water and the mortality of this fish. and the quality of this water is a direct result of irresponsible agricultural practices. one view of this is that what's happening here is a preview of what's to come because a climate change. does that resonate with you? absolutely resonates. we obliterated ecosystems to create agriculture and irrigation. it's always extraction, extraction extraction,

profit at the expense of our interchange. people at the expense of our tribes at the expense of way, little resources we have left ah, 1st is the west usa, 17 state where water is well. the richness crisis go back to the early 19 hundreds, when the federal government trained lakes, the canals in re routed rivers to deliver water to farmers with the irrigation projects were part of the governments pushed to encourage white sellers to move west. mm. later, the climate tribes lost their land to a federal policy known as termination. i was here, fence termination. when i terminated the tribe indian land were

broke up and sold. we ought to find it. just like the romans did. this gong were stronger. better away, it's been since time get their strong taken away from the way they always have our people have survived genocide, murder, disease, and war. we survived federal termination, but one thing we did retain was our right to hunt fish trap and gather on these land. in a treaty, the federal government promised the claimant tribes that they would always be able to fish the fishing piece of that implies that there will be fish for them to fish . so that's the 1st promise that the u. s. government and then the us government handed out a bunch of home says so bunch of white settlers and the promise seemed to be you

can have this water forever. and there were a lot of promises made that cannot all be filled in time. in recent decades, the ports of a for the government must honor the clamor tribes treated before it feels its promises to farmers because the climate tribes were here 1st, there was ready to proceed. everybody else. so even if you have a piece of paper from the federal government that says you can have water every year. if there's not enough water to go around the climate tried to come 1st. we build decline with your occasional project in the early 20th century. like we did most of these big water projects in the west, and there was an assumption that the hydrology, the early 20th century would persist until the end of time. that was faulty assumptions. here we are in 2021, and a 100 years change global warming. we're in the midst of it and there's not as much water to go around. i think of my

god when i see it. i was my dad's little fishing buddy. ah. when you are hoss native path, not native, there's a bit of learning and trying to figure out what what exactly am i where do i fit in my mom married my dad at the disgust disapproval of her parents. my grandparent. ah, they were just not happy. she married a klamath indian. that is one source of contention, sadness and may be why i am the way i am. oh, i moved away 2 days after high school graduation. i never wanted to come back. she

went away to college just right out of high school and lived away for quite a few years. after coming back after living in a more open diverse community. it was a shock when she came to class basin. i came back in 2016. it was uncomfortable hearing this repeated sense of entitlement from 5th generation farmer, 6 generation farmers that their grandfathers told them that there would always always be water at the time. i remember thinking, well there's the problem. your grandfather is hold you. there would always be water . but my dad was telling me we gotta throw lease fish back because there's not enough

ah, was the federal government who wanted all of us people to come down here and farm has nearly reclaim land. so my family did came down here. we've invested our whole entire life for 4 generations in making this based on what it is today of now the tables turn it in the same federal government to pull my family to come here a 115 years ago is now telling me to get the hell out of here or forcing me for a better time to get to hell out of here. a i feel betrayed without access to water from upper klamath lake. some farmers in the basin are pumping water from underground. the water that is in the canals coming from a well your neighbors. well, yes sir. this is just out again. nathan was hard to let anybody else here again with his water basically. yeah, well i guys,

i mean my family's been here for you know, 117 years 15 years. i feel like what i was born do i've, i feel like i do a good job at it. and i've got everybody in the entire world against me. and that's not a good feeling. oh, hi. rodney sheen did not kick anybody off any piece of ground for his own benefit. i wasn't the one that was in here physically, kellen and moving him and taking them off their land. the fish is the only way the tribe can get retribution on the white man. 20 years ago was the same story in the car. there's 5000 more on main street in 2001 another severe drill, threatening the fish with the government shuttle. the water, thousands of farmers pack the streets of clam falls symbolically moving water into

the irrigation canals. we will pass it to with sun john and van to his grandson game. they called it the bucket brigade general. i was in 7th grade. everybody was there. we were united as tensions rose, members of the claim of tribes based harassment in town. under pressure, federal officials turned the water back on later that summer. federal government came and gave us our water but the victory for farmers was a disaster downstream. $34000.00 sam watched a short dead taking water from the lake during a severe drought at unleashed an epidemic of fish disease. it devastated the york tribe, which has subsisted on sabbath for thousands of years. i remember smell

just the smell of genocide as so i'm best way to describe it because is now someone to death in this place is that offer nothing but by forgiving opportunities to day the tribe estimates at less than 5 percent of the salmon run remains with oh, despite the fishkill market, protesters memorialize their success $1001.00 to be installed in middle bucket, under the county building farmers, and it stayed on display for 13 years. a powerful symbol of farmers defiance. the message that this bucket sent was klamath supports the former. ah, i use the bucket brigade as the to the point. that bucket is all erased this morning. it

ah, this summer. when the government shut off water to farmers. the bucket reappeared in town last week. this 40 by 80 canvas 10 popped up out of nowhere. a group of farmers and our right activist made national news when they set up camp next to the heck gate to the irrigation canals. and threatened to take the water by force or gotta stand up and take it or not i or i water here again, that was dan nielsen. very good neighbor, very good brand the communities. happy to have him because without hand there one about a lot of stories of this year, they parked the bucket next to their tent. they claim that the bucket right here behind me is racist. white people are racist if you are christian erasers. if you believe in the constitution, you're racist. how serious it is, it getting here we are literally to the point the people are gonna start shooting each other before this is also not i am

concerned for myself in my safety. i've had people come up to me and say, you're the chairman the better or watch you back. i can actually say have a hand gun now that i never had before. ah. the climate tribes said this hostility goes beyond protest like the bucket brigade, they say it's baked into the way farmers and ranchers manage their land and that some refused to make human small changes the could save the fish just to spite the tribes. leroy gingrich family, his ranch, these 280 acres for the better part of the century. ah, but although oregon law requires that he keep his cattle from contaminating the lake, he refuses to put up fences. they complain that the cows are contaminated,

the like that fair complaint. his 1st this is from the oregon department of agriculture because one indian complaint i dwan big bear. you're faint when i can't see through i enjoy my view. i've had that view all my life. i enjoy it. nora, this is mine. are my favorite spots here within indian farm. when go right up there before little trail trailed, men walk by in years many a year. now if you look right up on the top of this rock or i don't hear, you fi, an old indian bulls, they're 14. 0 man,

you get to really look and ah, why not work with them? you know, have you ever tried to work with the gimme of what the, what a gimme. gimme. gimme. gimme gimme. that's right. working with the tribe gimme gimme gimme gimme. they don't give you. gimme gimme, gimme gimme ah . the cause of colonialism that brought those forwards here. the 1st place, how big of a stumbling block is that to moving forward? i would say it's more than a stumbling block. i would say it is the root of the entire problem. sort of set where mindset that way people one and they should be able to run the place as they

see fit. a beating heart of the whole problem in may 2020, as black lives matter, protest spread across the country. demonstrators gathered in downtown klamath falls and a few 100 people counter. protestors armed themselves against friends, neighbors, parents, children, teachers, students who were armed only with posters. there was a face off on main street. i a few more yelling at us, go back home, but when you tell that to an indigenous person where we start to go,

this is just a tiny bit of the hatred and disdain. he talked to our tribal members on out from that horrible device of incident. our city council form the equity task force, a several of us contact the city council. what are you gonna do about this? what can we do? and so that's how i ended up on the task force. we retained our right to hunt and fish tapping and failure to do that is an act of racism and act of white supremacy. and i can say that to you guys, but you could say more than a year after the protest, the racial equity task force is preparing to deliver its final reporting to the city council. this blue is the color piece,

but it also represents water than silver. of course, this are healthy fish in our healthy, peaceful, rivers, and green. it represents our agricultural industry here. i've lived here in this community brought almost 70 years and i have here and i've been in the background and i haven't, i haven't realized so fearful i am to live in this community. my home where you're doing in the navy woman, you are doing things that i always wanted to do. this helps me put myself out there in the through you with you. besides you

ah, with you look, work, dad, to me. i see a lot of dentistry. i was really nervous that because the task force agreed to take on confronting racism against the tribe. i was concerned that we were in danger. i knew there would be our position. i knew that there would be unhappy people. so what, what we're here today to talk about is the acne task force is final report. next i will be introducing joey gentry, who's a member of the equity task force who will be speaking on the water issue in climate thank you.

thank you again for being here. klamath has a history of racism that continues to be handed down from generation to generation . our water crisis still exists today because of racism against the tribe and racism against the tribe exists in part today because of our water crisis. i'm just going to read some community sentiment in words and indians. could it get any worse? this is a cowboys and indians fight to bad. we didn't finish the job the 1st time. we are asking you to issue a formal proclamation, acknowledging that a long history of anti indigenous racism has worse and disagreements over water. how i knew i was a native how i knew i was climate indian is because i fished with my dad.

we're just asking for our fish to be preserved to prevent them from going extinct the following month, the city council disbanded the task force without acting on his recommendations. ah, lulu our creation story tells us that if the fest die the people die. so we have to hear the message that our fish are telling him. if it doesn't rain, people are going to go to the kitchen or no water. going to come out of the tab. it's happening. gracious god, we're grateful that we can come together as your people and lift up things that are on our hearts to you, the living god who listens to our prayers, who encourages us?

there's nasa wildfires massive hurricanes. and there's about to be water shut off on big scale and existential crisis that we best solve. i don't know how we fix it, but i know that coming to terms with that history and it's a problem, is stefan ah, where does turn? i almost camp here unlike of 2001 whites for support for the farmers protest, never materialized. the summer they packed up and left. 2 days after the racial

equity task force presented a true for word trouble quickly that the bucket was killed. oh, they're gone, gone. the buckets gone till they're good? how are them? is that a good to see how this distraction is gone? i guess that we're doing some work, i guess that it's starting to make a difference. so now the real work begins.

oh the land of the free america has never been a rural democracy. the blackfeet would know ridge for a new episode of democracy may be excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system. a fight for and against equal representation. and the democratic process is the country that learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera. the corona virus has been indiscriminate in selecting its victims. it's devastating effects of plague, every corner of the globe, transcending class creed and color. but in britain, a disproportionately high percentage of the fallen have been black or brown skins.

the big picture traces the economic disparities and institutional racism that is seen united kingdom fail it citizens, britain's true colors part to on al jazeera. ah, a possible thought in relations between china and the united states, the planets, 2 largest producers of emissions announced a joint plan to tackle climate change. ah, look into harbor one. i'm come all santa maria, this is the world news from al jazeera, the u. s. president is admitted consumer.
