but president, because shank is confident that he's got moscow's backing, not least because to nuclear capable, russian planes have practice. bombing runs in belarus on thursday. and there's the german parliament hosted by russian opposition leaders, svetlana taken sky. there was no sign of tensions easing the pass. when you're in that either you want to get a look at your opinion will expand and tighten it sanctions against. look a shank as my dream. this is what will decide to, to our foreign ministers meeting in brussels on monday. those people and companies actively involved in human trafficking, further sanctioned, no matter where on the globe being vital to one of the use as many has been during people from countries in the middle east and encouraging them to cross into poland, lithuania, to create chaos. use if atalla, fletch, syria, he's now relatively safe in poland. he was driven towards the board by bella, russian police, but he says he was also beaten. god followed us

and then they cut out the thick and he used we took and he used like this in the way. there's a bit of soldier just this side. he gave me the fries with his foot. so i passed a football to couple of minutes finals and broken bone in here. my eyes are small, decadent, off the reports, brussels might target aero floats. the russian airline denied any involvement in transporting undocumented migrants to bela rufus. none of this political standoff does a thing to help the desperate families at the border which poland is preventing aid workers, as well as journalists from reaching at least 7 people have di here in recent months. there are real fears that number could grow. nadine baba al jazeera, well let's find out more with us, had beg, he's joining us from near because need so that's on the poland. beller is border. i

said, what are you seeing? what's the situation like where you are what you've just seen pictures from the inside of the border. now behind me is a checkpoint, that marks exclusion zone. and that was 14, when this country pose then bought in the state of emergency that using powers that haven't been used in this country since the communist rule. now journalist and adrian because i'm not allied past that point, we've been seeing an increase in military presence here. as well as the military vehicles on the road, we've seen a minute, the soldiers carrying guns patrolling the countryside. here we've been stopped several times and asked for documents and even turned around. and we just don't know what the polish authority to doing to keep those people from crossing. now we are hearing reports. those people up to the thousands now are kind of trapped in the forest area between poland and you by the roots, in freezing temperatures. we know that people are being beaten on the, by the risk insight. we just don't know what the polish authorities are doing to

keep them, keep the keep them out or talking to actors here inside poland are trying to help people trying to get supplies to them. but again, doesn't exclusions on set up. the encompasses around $184.00 villages and towns along the border region here. and poland is still sticking to their guns and using very strong language saying people won't cross into their country blaming by the roof, but also the prime minister of this country saying that this has all been masterminded in moscow as had just talked us a little bit more about these wider sort of geo political dimensions. as this crisis seemingly deepens. well, the bullet roost and present alexander lucas shan't go. he believes that poland and lithuania were behind, efforts to deliver to my him inside europe after receiving action last year. but the ruth isn't the sanctions they diverted up saying to her arrest opposition

activist and the european union that went further sanctions on by the roost. now he's trying to present days trying to react, trying to put pressure on, not only posing but also the european union by getting these people these vulnerable people from mainly from the middle east, busing them to the border and forcing them to cross them. that's what we're hearing from people that actually trust. we spoke to someone today trust in the last week and he said that he was bust from by the ruth to the board. her, they were told the board defense was and where it was easy taste with them to cross and they were forced to cross because they couldn't turn around. this is putting pressure on increasing tensions between the european union under the roof, but also as long as must go backs by the ruse does not too much that poland can do because they have increased the number of troops that they have here. and the number of police how long tend to sustain this blocking people,

turning them around, stuffing activists and journalists and ag because going in and trying to prevent people from crossing the border. okay, thank you so much. us and vague reporting from the polen bella reporter, thank you. will stay in poland and far right groups are taking part in an illegal march on the country's independence day. take a look at the life picture of this annual rally is going had right now. despite a count order a court order, excuse me, preventing it from happening. but the right when government party said it should go ahead. national leaders say they were determined to turn out as the migration crisis on the border with bella. ruth, as you been hearing escalates the former south african president f. w. a clerk has died aged 85. he was the last apartheid leader handing over to nelson mandela after south africa as 1st democratic elections. they

shared the nobel peace prize in 1993. finally, the miller looks back on the clerk's life. this was the moment when south africa's last white lead a signal to the end of the party. i wish to put it plainly that the government does take on a firm decision. duty least mister mon della unconditionally. i'm serious, i'm sure in a speech to parliament for you to gleamed at clack, or if w as he was known stuff the world, he freed nelson mandela and promised equal rights that would lead to south africa's to 1st equity democratic elections. ah, if we did not take the initiatives we do, 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 of united beyond one common goal on that is to overthrow the regime. we avoided that. there's wisdom on della,

was the nelson mandela, a free man within days anthea partied lead. and nelson mandela walked free after 27 years in prison. perfect. we pray for guidance, i think a deeply conservative afrikaner if w was never known as a reformer, but he'd come to realize in his own words, that's a cling to power for the white population group means facing the revolution. we must find a way in this country as those whites do live together in the revolution almost came anyway. the black townships erupted in violent hard line african as great and bloody revenge. lengthy negotiations resulted in a non racial constitution and mostly peaceful elections in 1094 millions

of black people voted for the 1st time in tossing the african national congress and nelson mandela president. as the man who co wrote the end of a party, the clack, she had the nobel peace prize with mandela. he lay to change the global leadership fund, promoting good governance worldwide 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. ah, the u. k prime minister boris johnson has welcomed a deal between the us and china to tackle climate change. the countries issued their joint statements separately on wednesday, their envoy said washington, i'm beijing would cooperate to accelerate emission reductions and meet the

temperature goals of the 2015 paris agreement. legal, joseph 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. qualifying the united states and china have no shortage of differences, but on climate and 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. katrina you in beijing explains what the us china agreements will cover . well,

this joint declaration really broadly looks at how these 2 countries and tend to work together to help keep this temperature rise to 1.5 degrees celsius before the end of the century. so it offers a kind of framework under which 2 countries can work together on a variety of issues. it talks about methane emissions, transition to clean energy, reforestation, climate finance. it also talks about how these 2 countries intend to meet sometime in the 1st half of next year to talk about more specific targets and also how they intend to create a working group to look at this issue going forward. now what we do not see though, in this joint declaration or any sort of hard new concrete targets, it really just elaborates on the targets that these 2 countries have already mentioned to the international community. that's been criticized. but it does not mean that their statement is not significant. i think it does 2 things. one is that these 2 countries by releasing this herb that it will give

a bit of adult to the cult 26 discussions. would this end of the conference really helped to encourage other countries to really put some hard targets down into continue and wrap up the negotiations in a really positive way? i think secondly, what baiting is hoping specifically as i will really send a message to the international community, the china is serious about climate change. we'll let sabrina andrew simmons is joining us from the cop 26 talks over in glasgow. so under what impact has that surprise announcement from the u. s. and china had on the talks where you are whoa, whoa, would hope that the has been a jolt? ejected on the proceedings here, however, does not seem to be the case according to what we're hearing from sources, right. know what it has done is change the atmosphere because of the 2 superpowers expressing a will to do something about emissions within this decade before 2030,

even though there were no promises. it does a set the example through leadership perhaps. but the devil is in the detail of the has to be, according to a lot of experts and a lot of activists more to it. something in the way of a commitment, something of a way of a form of leadership. that suggests the pressure should be on the $200.00 parties that are here to make the declaration at the end of the glasgow summit up to actually commit to something that keeps the $1.00 celsius cap alive. that 1.5 figure enshrined by the paras agreement back in 2015. and on that note that has been corp big cooperation between china and the u. s. before and in 2014. and there were bilateral relations ahead of the paris accord . i know a big, a big developments made in that, but of course,

those corporations between the 2 superpowers collapse totally. when donald trump took the u. s. out of the paras agreement at his presidency. now we're seeing that a lot of action in the way of pressure, all the delegates here to actually come up with agreement on something bigger than they promised so far. because at the moment the promises we put all the promises together on carbon emissions, on, on, on, on adaptation, all of the, all of the initiatives together, not the side bar issues that were a, by that, that organizations known as the, as, as of groups of willing contributors states are putting together deals are on their own outside of the agreement. this is about actually committing to a plan for the future to keep that 1.5 degree said great alive. and right now we're seeing a number of cracks appearing in terms of whether they can go further despite all

the pressure lights are on with the hair. from until you get there is the un secretary general expect to hear much pressure from him. a lot of pressure to get results. yeah. and we will take his speech live. so andrew simmons will speak to you as and when that happens as well. thank you so much for the time being for that update from glasgow. while plenty more had on the al jazeera news, our including this, the world food program is warning that tens of millions of people right around the world or on the brink of famine, will speak to the head of the organization organization, david beasley. and just a moment, molly's foreign minister as a moscow, as reporter, merge of a deal to recruit russian mercenaries later in sport find out who came out on top a mismatch between 2 former tennis world. number one. ah, so in an interview with al jazeera, a member of the,

if you open government has denied allegations of mass arrests and ethnic profiling . there been reports of police rounding up high profile to grinds from a bank, c o. 2 priests and at least 70 driver is working for the world food program have also been taken into custody. the un says they were arrested during government raids, targeting to ryans a day earlier. at least 9 you and workers were detained in the capital. let us speak to david beesley, he's joining us from bay routine, the executive director of the united nations world food program. thanks so much for your time with us. on al jazeera, david beesley, 1st on the situation in, if yo, p, r, and 70 driver is having been detained from the world food program, how are you dealing with that situation? considering that you've also singled out, if you are as being in a facing acute hunger and you're saying some 7000000 people in the north of the country are facing hunger. well, you are exactly right. this is a country the said,

a free for all answer crisis, and the people in the northern sector that te gray area literally are on the brink of starvation. in short, we need to move lenary. $3040.00 trucks a day on food, and now the truck drivers of many of which are contracted our outsource. but regardless, we have to have the truck drivers were not able to get the food in, were not able to move the trucks, the fuel, many different issues. and we're negotiating, trying to work this out as quickly as possible because getting truck drivers in this region is just not easy. and every truck full of food makes a difference. well, the child arrives or not, so we need to get this resolved. as soon as possible or hopeful it will be resolved . i'm hopeful it has to be resolved. no otherwise children are going to die. or it's bad enough without this. yeah. yeah, go ahead. nice bad enough without this. i mean, it, all of a sudden this,

all they would be is there is still with us or i, we've lost the connection with david b as the out of a route. we will try and to reestablish that connection and to and speak to him on this news hour and a little moments. but we'll go on to other news and tell you about this. because for the 1st time ever, israel, bahrain and the united arab emirates have publicly acknowledged holding joint military drills. the 3 countries along with the u. s. or conducting naval exercises in the red sea. it's one of the world's busiest oil shipping routes that connects the mediterranean with the indian ocean through the suez canal. and the gulf of 8 in the military exercise comes more than a year after the u. e. and bahrain normalized ties with israel will from western salon. harry faucet explains the timing of the naval exercise. and what it means

for the region was as being cold. and he is really media an unprecedented military exercise involving israel, the united arab emirates, bahrain, and the united states navy, all in the red sea, a 5 day exercise involving at sea training, of among other things, boarding and searching vessels at sea. israel has been involved in exercises alongside the u e in the past, but this is the 1st time that there's been a public exercise, also involving bahrain and it's certainly being pushed to a large extent and publicized it's part of a piece. israel has been re designated by the u. s. military recently as part of its centcom area alongside other arab states in the region away from the u. com designation, the european designation that preceded it. so that's one factor behind all this as well as that there is of course, the normalization deals that israel is struck with our states over the last year or so. and there is pretty extensive military signaling that's been going on in recent

weeks in the direction of iran just a few days ago. there was a b one bama us nuclear cable, bama that was flying throughout the region. it was at various stages accompanied by jets, from saudi arabia, from egypt, from bahrain, and from israel before that a major air force exercise in israel involving european nations united states india . but also an observer coming from the united arab emirates. and there were pictures of jordanian f sixteens involved in that exercise as well. so pretty strong signals being sent towards iran at a time when we are expecting the rating you could talk to resume before the end of this month. a moment ago we were talking to david beesley, who's the executive director of the us world program. we've reestablished our connection. david basically, thanks again for, for sticking around and speaking to us, let me ask you about syria, because you just visited the country and,

and you say there are widespread concerns over growing hunger there. what's the driving force behind the food insecurity? what you then literally years of the conflict along now with economics creation code and you've also got droughts, they're producing about 25 percent of the week that they normally would produce. i literally was there in the last few days. i was there just a few hours ago in damascus as well as in aleppo. and you can't really believe how bad it is. food prices are now 7 times where they were 2 years ago. people don't have jobs. i was talking to women begging for more food. we're assisting about 65 and a half, 6000000 people throughout the country in the 11 region. but i, we're literally, we're mean about 500000 people with about 30 to 40 percent rations in about a half a 1000000 people are getting bred in only bread and women. now at the winter coming, women are saying, i either have to start much out of fries much al. i cannot buy fuel and food abode

in this is what we're facing. you can see it in the faces of the mothers, and it's just us a heartbreak situation. so what are you are calling for? when it comes to syria, i need to end know, what are you going to achieve? well, the purpose of going there was a see how bad it really, really is. and at the same time really speak out loud as i possibly can to the international community that we need money to save the lives. otherwise there's got to be not just starvation, but there's going to be mass migration as well. you're sorting faced that problems failing to address the food security situation years ago. and this is part of the big picture what i've been saying for the last few weeks. but cause of convoluted climate change encoded were see an absolute perfect storm around the world. and number of people that are marching towards star ration is doubled in the last year

. we now have 42000000 people that are knocking old families door and syria is, is a classic case example of what we are talking about. you've also been raising the alarm on afghanistan recently where you visited as well. and, and in fact, you have said that you, you think it hasn't gotten as bad as it is going to yet, why do you say that, why do you think it's going to get worse? well out, i was just in, not just couple the kandahar and other places in afghanistan's just a few days ago. and because of the 20 years or more of conflict called with the code and dry austin, economic deterioration taught again very similar to syria and other places around the world. there are no jobs. international community is pulled out. this is a country they were lied, 80 percent on international funds, no longer available, available teachers don't have not been paid. doctors have not been paid. we're

trying to use food with us at casner street, or we're getting children back into the classroom so they don't lose their education. but it seems like it's just getting worse and worse and worse it let me to say how bad it is in afghanistan. we're now talking about 23000000 people out of 40 me that are marching toward starvation that go to bed every night. not knowing whether they're going to have enough food to next the next day and to reach that number of people is $230000000.00 per month, and that would half rations. imagine be to your child half rashes. it aim we're seeing it. you've heard the stories of mothers who are selling one child chilling fee, the rest of the children, and hope that that child will have a better life. and there are no jobs. there's no economic opportunity. we cannot turn our back on these children's is horrendous. what we're facing is us in afghanistan. it literally is going to be hell. org in the winter months are now coming into play. so disco, be a true,

true catastrophe in the next few months they were basically, before i let you go, i got to ask you about this. and, you know, since you're talking about a sort of raising money from the international community for anyone that follows you an ill on mosque, on twitter, we did see a bit of a back and forth going on recently between the 2. if you where you said net 2 percent of masks wealth, which is $6000000.00 can helping preventing geopolitical instability, mass migration, and st. 42000000 people on the brink of starvation. what you also date is you offered to show ellen musk around and you said you meet him anywhere on earth. let me ask you where did it when you to leave that off. well, and he didn't get back with me with regards to going that meeting. but he'll hoby, but it's not just the law much. i know he's made an extraordinary amount of money in the past few years and i'm grateful for that. but we got a catastrophe. all i am, governments are tapped out, which you get many,

many other billionaires around the world. there's over $400.00 trillion dollars worth of wealth. there's no reason of saying, go, child should die from hunger. in your, in the height of coven, the billionaires networked increase was $5200000000.00 per day. all i'm asking for is one days worth of networks increase to really save 40 something 1000000 people from starving to death, which will also keep nations stabilize in home migration down because otherwise it's a 1000 times more expensive to support someone once they've left the country. in all the chaos in christ as a result from there. so a lot cheaper to do it up front end to do it. right. and that's what we're open. that the bill you, there's will do on this one time basis because of the perfect storm. ok. and we thank you so much, have a visa of her speaking to us from bay. ruth still had on the, i was aaron's our,

what's causing the toxic phone covering part of india's sacred yamuna river. and why it's dangerous? i'm leah harding and doe, how we're afghanistan's womens football team are taking on guitar in their 1st match since leaving cobble last month. ah, how low they will have a look at the weather in africa and just a moment. but 1st of 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 western areas. rain trickling down, we'll have showers touching into iraq and q weight by the time we get into late friday. but saturday, it's different storage wise up here, the rain picks up, of course, the west of saudi arabia. you see those showers edging in here is what is coastal

areas of the red sea, but sharma shake. will 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've got storms rolling across the west of the d. r c into the camera and go bon, we could see some flooding from that in a further south. the rain picks up for much of angola. we've got some heavy showers coming into play for them. bob were in particular for herrera. we're expecting thunderstorms to lost here through the weekend, but there is still a lot of warmth coming through the temperature sitting at where we expect it to be for this time of year. but look at that, whether through to sunday.
