away from new fault lines, investigate how climate change his pissing and oregon town to breaking point. we will fight because it's in a blood. we are literally to the point the people are going to start c h l, or when the war to stop on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah. although i am, how am i hidden? this is the news are my from dough home. coming up in the next 60 minutes, poland supposed more forces tutsis from border where hundreds of refugees and migrants are stuck in an increasingly 10 standard foot. belarus, f. w. a clerk who oversaw the end of south africa's white minority rule as its last apartheid presidents dies at the age of 85. cooperation is the

only way to get this job done. an unexpected climate deal between the us and china draws a cautious welcome from activists and running on empty people in burgundy are struggling to find medicine, cash and fuel. after years of sanctions and the impact of coven 19, and far as law have all the de sport, including our cousins cricketers, are aimed to stay on course for a 2nd. t 20 roll cap title when they take on australia and the semi final ah. where we begin with the use migrations stand off with bell rows which is deepening as leaders, trade threats, and hundreds of people languish in the colds on poland border. now the e u accuses bella, russo sans and refugees and migrants towards poland and its neighbors. in

retaliation for western sanctions, now more sanctions our plans. we will whiten our sanctions again, fellows so very rapidly at the beginning of next week. there will be a widening of the sanction 2nd fellows. as far as i'm informed, the united states have prepared sanctions that will be in effect at the beginning of december. and the europe in sanctions will not only be against personalities but also against entities. so it is important that the new question go regime understands that their behavior comes with the price. well, a response see beller, ocean president, alexander lucas shanker, says he could shut down the transit of natural gas and goods that flow through his country to the you. and it's been reported that russian national carrier,

aero slots, could be sanctioned for its alleged role in the mass transportation of migrants. a kremlin has rejected that claim as court crazy. last bag he is near cause need. so on the poland, a bella, luce border, we can cross to him. and now i said, what's the situation like where you are right now? well, there's differently and increase prison or presence of military here we've seen military vehicles traveling up and down the roads. here we've seen soldiers patrolling her, the countryside carry their guns. her. there's also checkpoints. heck, because it has been the state of emergency or in that province is bordering the blues. borders in september encompasses around a $184.00 towns and villages. and those powers haven't been used in poland, her since communist rule here. her now they are increased number of people trying

to cross the border. we are hearing that some are managing their way through. now we've just spoken to some people that manage across in the last few days. and what they told us was that they were bussed from bell roof to the border. her and the soldiers showed them the section of the fence or even cut it open for them and told them to cross into poland and the e. u. they've also claimed that they were beaten by the soldiers. there was no way for them to head back to better herb minsk. so that's what we're hearing her. but there is the state of emergency here cause i've been checked people her people's identifications, i've been asked for her and that's because poland stance is very clear. they don't want anybody crossing in to their country. oh, and going even further into the european union. and i sit just talk to the submit this wage of geo political dimension here because from the description of people

getting busts to the border and i armed guards and states of emergency. it really does seem to be a bit more than just these 2000 or so people who are stuck in what looks to be a very cold forest. absolutely. the wider context of this is that the bella roost is a unhappy, the, her president bill lucas shank, or believes that poland and he threw in your way involved in attempt to de, legitimize him her. it's inside europe. her after his election last year, her and bella, ruth has faced sanctions from the e. u after they forced to flee or forced to forced her flight to divert so they could arrest an opposition activist her. so that's the context. obviously, russia supports her by the ruth and her and any actions that the european union may take any further sanctions, no by the root is certain that they will retaliate, but also poland has a right when government here and as we speak is the national independence day and

the far right marching in the capital, warsaw and the is an anti immigration immigrant feeling here amongst the supporters of the government. so they want to be seen as tough on immigration. in fact, that prime minister has said that the border in poland isn't just a line on a map. it's sacred and people have shed their blood for it's a very much using politically charged language. here with a white. the context is that the european union is now going up against, but the roost and the prime minister here specifically said about this, or this issue has been orchestrated. had the master has been masterminded or from moscow? ok, i said big brain has some, says 8 there from the poland bella roost border. thank you. i said we'll check in again with you later on today, but for now at least speak with eval law. she's a volunteer who works with the polish side of the boards, are providing aids to the refugees and my grants, and he's just returned to warsaw to get some more supplies. join us at form,

there now gets a harvey with us on the news. are you managed to meet some of these people who are stuck in that forest? just talk us through the kind of conditions that they are facing is thank you for having the in the i've been involved in an effort to provide humanitarian aid to, you know, people, migrant refugees stranded in the policy in the for us now on the policy side of the border beyond the so called restrictive area because no one can enter that part and even turn organization and, and to the part. but i actually met even beyond this is close the scene of the border. so like one or 2 or 3 kilometers from the border in the forest in the desk for us, for my size and the other 2 years. and also the habitants from the region we've been providing, mentoring a, they're actually like on the frontline and say in the form of, you know, providing food, warm food, tea, uh, clothes, shoes, you know,

all the basic stuff that is needed and water and, and so on. some medicine, some, some very, very 1st aid to the people who are stranded. yes . think about the 1st state that you're providing there because let's not forget it . it's very cold. where you are right now, and we've just heard from our correspond for those individuals that have been subject to be things by the authorities won't have, as your organization managed to see. i mean, are people getting injured? they're well, i've been involved in the groceries were going to get for him because we professional big organizations are not here. i know they are not allowed to enter the restroom, but also the president them from thing beyond the area and i was i would expect that they would, they would off and, and for, for being out. and just just come here and when it comes to the migrant,

the are the 1st. yes. i haven't met people who are really called hungry. kevin, it's been for several days. the people, they were people already injured in terms like their conditions on their legs because they walk back and forth between you know, the, she forces important and then they are very often pushed back towards the border. so they are stuck. and i've seen that i've met, for example, family and you know, and movie generational family of the, from the northern europe who, who just country do to obviously the point because on the, by the some extent. and there are different groups like syrian guns, iraqis occurred onions and so on who i met

personally on the, on the front line. and quite often they were in dire need for food water. it's something they even have shoes because they love them in the dance and west forest . and indeed, as you said, it's already getting very called the nights are 0 degrees and people are asking for the basic, you know, winter jackets and, and warm of those. and we are doing our best provide this, but i would like to say that this is in organic bought them up initiative. so there's only so much we can do and what's really needed is the mentoring through and by the professional organizations like red cross. maybe you and hcr, maybe the doctors without borders. they must be allowed by the officials to enter the restricted area, but they also must advocate for entering and just come here. and also, what's important i believe, is to address, you know, the, the root causes of, of,

of migration is the, i'm not naive. and as you've mentioned already, there is this important factor of the single volleyball game played by the regime and operation instrumentally. and this people who are star, they are stranded stock and they are prone now to different forms of violence and be pushed back towards the board there. and there have been a very serious has conditions. i literally met people who are already at the edge of hypothermia, so very called after spending whole night in the, in the old forest. the lady had to be carried and the men had to be assisted to even go 200 meters or 300 meters to access the ambulance that we called ok. and there was, you know, year old serial girl who we carried. unfortunately, she was warm enough because the adults, i believe her from the ground during the night, but they know suffer because primarily yes,

this is very troubling. testimony that you're sharing with us ever lost shirt made . so the political power plays there, easy to forget that there are people stranded in that forest without adequate clothing to survive those northern european temperatures. great to get your at testimony there. thank you very much indeed. ever lost a volunteer joining us from war. so thank you, randy. at the former south african president asked w to clark has died at the age of $85.00. he was the last apartheid leader handing over to nelson mandela after south africa's 1st democratic elections. they shared the nobel peace prize in 1993. for me, the miller looks back on the clerks life. this was the moment when south africa's last white leader signaled the end of a part 8. i wish to put it plainly that the government has taken

a firm decision to release mister mandela unconditionally. i am serious in a speech to parliament, frederic william to clack, or if w, as he was known, stunned the world, he freed nelson mandela and promised equal rights that would lead to south africa's 1st fully democratic elections. ah, if we did not take the initiatives we to, i have no doubt in my mind that we would have reached a point that the majority of all the people in south africa would have taken hands with the total international community. and would have united behind one common goal on that is to overthrow the regime. we avoided that this was the mandela was the nelson mandela: a free man within days anti apartheid lead announcement. ella walked free after 27 years in prison. perfect her. we pray for god, god, i think

a deeper conservative africana f w was never known as a reformer, but had come to relies in his own words that to cling to power for the white population group means facing a revolution. ah, we must find a way in this country. as blacks, as whites look together, this ha, revolution almost came anyway. the black townships erupted in violence. oh, hard line african is threatened, bloody revenge. lengthy negotiations resulted in a non racial constitution and mostly peaceful elections in 1994 o. millions of black people voted for the 1st time endorsing the african national congress and nelson mandela's president. as the man who co wrote the end of

a party to clack shared the nobel peace prize with montela, he later cheered the global leadership fund promoting good governance world wide to many within the ranks of his african people. if w was a traitor to the end, history will remember a leader who knew that white supremacy had run its course. i fancy for me to miller, he joins us from johannesburg for me to how are people reacting to the news that f w. the clerk has died. all the certainly is mixed reaction them around the death of the former president. and he of course, remained a symbolic leader of an african or community that to some extent felt betrayed by some of the choices he had made. but amongst many black south africans, especially the young, they say he was nothing less than an a parted criminal. just as recently as 2 years ago, the former president refused to acknowledge at a party. it was

a crime against humanity. and then after some intervention, he backtracked to some extent, but it was a very complex situation. this was a former leader who from a young age was part of the a conservative of ricardo organization, the brutal bond. his own father was a member of cabinet for the national party, of which he was a member to and went on ever to be president. this isn't necessarily somebody who was a reformist, but rather a pragmatist in that he saw the writing was on the wall and that to avoid entire political chaos. some sort of agreement or negotiation had to be had with the political parties in south africa who wanted a democratic society. so f, w to clack won't necessarily be missed by many people, but his acknowledged for the role he played in terms of that democratic transition

. but there are also people to day who say that he never paid for what he was responsible for during his presidency in 1992, the boy per tong massacre took place with dozens of people, were killed in riots and violence in the boy. but on township, where the courts of freedom party was blamed, but they were also accusations that the army and police at the hands of the state participated in that violence. so quite a controversial figure, but still recognized as somebody that live that transition to democracy and of course, one on about peace prize. ok for me. the miller there live for as in johannesburg, 50 to thank you very much in deeds. well also in johannesburg. is them be so if i could they a political analyst and senior research fellow at africa, asia dialogues, and it's good to have a withers on the news, or how do you think after the de klerk will be remembered?

well, they'll be, he'll remember differently by different people because of, of his role as the last a parted president. but having said that days also says little number of south africans all remember him, fondly having done what most of his just tried to says has failed to do. that is initiate political discussions with the african national congress on behalf of black people in south africa. so the east bed sizable number of people from both sides are from both the blacks and whites will, will remember him finally. but as for me to said in that report, many young people to regard him as part and parcel of the old group, both a racist of the gunners who or press to their forefathers. did he, did he ever express regrets for the apartheid system that a he helped to our charade so, or did he stand by it?

well, in the last days he was caught in a number of controversies trying to whitewash a party and tried to whitewash what the of the gunners committed in the past. but he was forced to back track after pressure from various youth organizations and for africa. but in the earlier days when mandela was still alive, he was so quite hot art front in terms of explaining the role of the african moves in, in a park taped and how that was wrong. and that led him to embrace b political trajectory with betty later embrace. so there were mix motions, but no one really understands why at the later stage of his life is that it's attempts of trying to white glove should be after kind of participation. and indeed, a party in terms of his legacy because it is almost

a contradiction now whether he truly wanted to end apartheid or just so it is inevitable. and it was a, a pragmatic choice. this the work that he did in, in helping establish ads. the 1st post apartheid governments, it is that likely to be recognized in future generations? or is there still some kind of a tussle over the role he has played in south africa's history? unfortunately, his last actions will for an extent and absorb that very important part of contribution of his life towards the democratization of south africa. because the federal making the ro mistakes one doesn't really know what it was age, all he really meant it, but to he's lusts and utterances, but to claim public utterances will, to an extent and you know, overshadow is very important contribution by the way. because a number of his sums or phaser picked officials failed to do what did, what did it,

he was indeed very brave. i missed air backlash from his own people to a, to, to, to go ahead and engage in political transformation. so we'll have to wait and hear what those are gonna have to say to next coming days. but, and suffice to say that there will be mixed reactions from south africa community or the, the willing deeds and sundays. if i could a great to get your views. thank you so much for joining us on the l to see when user so to come here on al jazeera. so lanka is in rise inside horses after heavy rain leaves at least $25.00 people that we look at what's causing the toxic foam covering parts of india's sacred yamuna river. and his sports, the warriors continue their hot streak in the n. b, a for from a sports him later in the show,

the you case prime minister bars johnson has welcome the us and china deal. both countries have declared that they will work together on climate action. the countries issued their joint statements separately. on wednesday, the men boys said they would corporate to accelerate emission reductions and meets the temperature goals of the 2015 paris agreement. well in oklahoma, yada, yada. climate is a common challenge faced by humanity and will impact the well being of future generations is becoming increasingly urgent and severe. turning a future challenge into a crisis happening now on the subject of climate change, there is more agreement between china and the u. s. the divergence making it merrier with huge potential for corporation. the united states and china have no shortage of differences, but on climate climate cooperation is the only way to get

this job done. this is not a discretionary thing, frankly. this is science. it's math and physics that dictate the road that we have to travel or reaction from the world. wildlife funds echoed that's of many environmental organizations. i said this announcements could be a much needed political signal that the 2 largest emitters responsible for more than 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are joining forces to prevent a climate catastrophe. if they are serious about avoiding catastrophic impacts. they must also support the enhancements of national policies, plans and actions that will see the $1.00 degrees celsius go kept within reach while entry cements joints via form gaz go, which is hosting that cop 26 summers. andrew,

what's the general feeling there in the summer's after that? us china announcements. i think that statement from w. w. f really does sir, wrap up the general sentiment here amongst the experts, the politicians, the statesman and the activists. because yes, you could hardly say not welcome to the such a gesture by 2 superpowers to super polluters, herbs. many people watching this will be thinking well about time to. but the devil is always in the detail. and people want to know. everyone here wants to know what's the plan? yes, the objectives are there. yes, it's extraordinary that the u. s. in china should be working as a partnership. i'm and there is a lot o r a. so much on this in terms of potential at one interesting area,

it is a package for reducing methane gas, but no dates, no promises on, on exactly how that will go and on me. thank gosh gas, which is a potent gas in terms of global warming. i, it has a life of something like 12 years compared to a century for c o, 2 carbon dioxide. so this is interesting area and that science is going to be looked at and, and there's gonna be corporation a technically and politically between china and the u. s on this, so a lot of excitement for that and, and so a lot resting with it. and it's also allen effects on the mood here because we're in difficult waters with the negotiations which are supposed to wrap up on, on friday night. and they are in seeds, but under a new announcement, as just as a new initiative robert has just been announced. and what more can you tell us about that? and will that help at will. this is an interesting one because it's

a 1st really serious diplomatic initiative. to try and stop globally any further exploration for oil and gas in it. it comes from denmark and costa rica. a costa rica has no wall reserves, as far as it does known, but it's still prepared to ban any exploration on it's land. and that's, that's, that's one thing, but then mock is more interesting because it's already banned exploration or any new expiration of north sea oil reserves. it is the biggest oil and gas country, a developer in production come country in europe. and it's also saying it will stop any production at all by 2050. now, what it's launched is a, an alliance called a beyond oil and gas alliance. several countries are going to be joining at the, has been an announcement. the ambition is to stop all exploration,

development exploration right across the globe. because if the oil, if the fossil fuels stay in the earth or not above it, then that's the ambition it is. it is going to be very ambitious indeed. and it's going to take place more or less right away, or with some countries possibly include france, ireland, and sweden. there's going to be quite an alliance here. this is all a sideshow. offensively, it's the coalition of the willing. it's not in the main area of negotiations. this is a side bol, on many other initiatives, important ones, but still as that problem aiming for 1.5 celsius cap on global warming. that right now is nowhere near the table. so serious talking still going. gandy simmons live from glasgow and we thank you. so frequent check on the weapon, his kara, hello, they will have

a look at the weather in africa and just a moment. but 1st to the middle east and levant and it's northern areas of iran that have been paid by unsettled weather. we've got a bit of a wintry mix at play dumping quite a lot of snow in west in areas. rain trickling down. we'll have showers, touching into iraq and kuwait. by the time we get into late friday. but saturday, it's a different story. it winds up here, the rain picks up because a west of saudi arabia can see those showers edging in here, as well as coastal areas of the red sea. but shauna shake. we'll see the warm weather though it will remain rather cloudy through the weekend. now we've had across 2 central parts of africa. it's not as wet as it has been recently if you showers across the open rift valley for the wet weather, we have to head further west. we got storms rolling across the west of the d. r c into the camera and get bon, we could see some flooding from that and further south. the rain picks up for much of angola. we've got some heavy showers coming into play. floors in bob were in

particular for her robbery. we're expecting thunderstorms to last year. through to the weekend, but there is still a lot of warms coming through the temperature sitting where we expect it to be for this time of year. but look at that, whether through to sunday. ok, cells come on then use our germany grapples with the worst calls at 19 infection numbers. it's seen yet will tell you how the government is responding. also the latest on the know confidence from macedonia is prime minister and in sport find out. he came out on top in this battle between 2 forms. tennis number one is coming up later in the news r ah, november, we'll see vulgarians vote in a 3rd parliamentary election. this year, public outcry the widespread corruption brought down former prime minister boy k bar itself. but finding a replacement has proved problematic. will it be 3rd time lucky in the bulgarian
