oh, wow. oh, the clock is clicking to save the planet, world leaders racing against time to reach a climate deal that the closing of the cop $26.00 summit. ah, am sam is a then this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up calls. busy for more access to the border with better roost by polish and geo volunteers were up to 2000 refugees, migrants are trapped in di conditions. the 1st established cutter as the united

states protecting power in afghanistan. an agreement between the u. s and cut off for dar had to handle washington's interest in afghanistan. and the un report accuses lebanon's government of failing its people and plunging the country deeper into poverty. ah, it's last day of that un climate conference in glasgow, a summit described as a final chance to avoid catastrophic global warming. draft agreement is being considered by nearly 200 nations. the core aim to keep the paris agreement alive to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees. for this to happen, the world needs to cover missions by 45 percent by 2030, and achieve carbon neutrality. by 2050 has been progress though. china and the u. s . the world's top greenhouse gas emitters are increasing cooperation. we've also had deals to n deforestation. cut me say, and,

and phase out fossil fuels of financing. the transition remains a sticking point. still a way to go unless say, current pledges are not enough. the world is currently on track for $2.00 degrees of warming. sco live now to andrew simmons. he joins us live from the cop conference or andrew. let's start with the issue of cutting subsidies for fossil fuels. where are we going away? is that conference going on? that issue? it's definitely an important part of it's are there is a text which has been adjusted and it's weakened at this to a degree of the but the actual references that are fossil fuels, subsidies will a be reduced. and that will take place when they are an inefficient fossil fuel finished. it sets up. so basically,

any expert, if you asked about this would, would actually say, well, all forms of fossil fuel subsidy are inefficient when it comes to global warming. so that, that possibly there could be a get out for a nation's that want to continue with it. furthermore, there is going to be a phasing out this has been suggested phasing out of coal power. ah, that is a big development when it's actually written in to that enshrined within the communique at the end of this covers if it takes place. however, that also has been adjusted in the latest text, or to say that some that unabated coal power accelerated phaser phasing out of it can take place. but also they can actually will be able to build coal plants providing equipment to capture and store that carbon emissions is installed. so there are all sorts of maneuvers to water down aspects like this. but really the

crowning it all these, this big issue of the carbon emissions of the emissions, or which are the methane emissions of c o. 2 emissions, which are so out of control. now the only way we think we think it can work from looking at all the tax now is to see them coming back. all of the nations coming back to the negotiating table within a year, the next cop to actually present new a declarations of intent with national national determinations are all of the mission cuts. and that has to be wrapped up and it's got to be done within a year. it's highly unlikely. we think that we'll see a major gesture from a big emitter to, to, to cut back more than that they've done so far. when you look at all a list of, of, of, of countries involve some haven't even adjusted their emissions and the latest,

the latest declarations. some of may big gestures, some of mates, more gestures. what is evidently wanted from the re listen to the un secretary general way his world at people what to do, what the states should do at really that his laid it on the line. he's hoping that the could be some final jester, but it doesn't look like that. a point is this. if they don't go for this or within the year than they may lose control of keeping 1.5 celsius alive. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks. so much andrew simmons, me your pin commission, says it will not be intimidated by threats from bell russian president, alexander lucas shanker. after he said he could cut off rush and gas applies to europe. this comes as thousands of refugees remain stuck at bella luce, his border with powder in court, in a political stand off that shows no sign of ending nothing. barber reports. oh, in the dog as dogs bark a child cries out daddy. while polish troops film were seen along the razor wire

all parts of a standoff that's been going on for weeks now. oh oh wow. but winters arriving, and on the polish side, local activists or warning that they can't cope. what they're demanding, the government in warsaw that recognize the agencies access the borders own with better russ, saying 10 refugees and migrants have already died on polish territory on yet published on what's coming into. know we've been responding to the situation to save lives, where the government has restricted access to humanitarian organization to deliver aid and the restricted area. nevertheless, since mid october, we've been approached by over 3000 people that's being trapped. and since the beginning of november, we've been asked by at least 900 people, they have no food, they have no shelter. they have no drinking water. when we meet them at the poli sides, they are usually in a very difficult mental and you know medical state, they are absolutely exhausted. they are terrified because obviously they are hiding

in the forest for days just not to be caught by border patrol. the scenes were filmed by russia. sputnik agency, apparently showing better russian forces. handing out food is not clear how many of the thousands of people camped out. will have got anything. here. as a woman lies on the grounds, people show a bell or ocean god. what asked more inhaler she needs. some families have been given the basics, diapers, medicine, and drinking water. but as the main response on either side continues to be a military one, these people are stuck in a political game. they can't control and still they keep coming. oh, these images apparently showed polish troops watching as bell russian security forces. direct people along the border when they get there, the only thing they seem to get in any quantity right now is would to burn honestly because of called her baby seek her eyes. her problem arise out water,

her baby, the cushion, clean sleep, she crying because of the at 1st age emergency un security council meeting. western states issued a joint statements accusing belarus of putting migrant lives in danger for political purposes. and new european union figures show nearly 8000 people have tried to enter the block from belarus this year. but poland sony response is to bring in more troops. this is the president visiting some of them on thursday. and every day that goes by more desperate people find themselves stuck in the forest. nadine baba al jazeera, an explosion at the mosque, and afghanistan's banga har provinces, injured, at least 15 people. no group has yet claimed responsibility. there have been several attacks on mostly she, r mosques, since the taliban took power in august. most of them have been claimed by i saw the u. s. secretary of state as announce, katara will represent the interests of the u. s. in afghanistan. author will assume

the role of protecting power to facilitate formal communication between washington and cobble. the u. s. does not recognize the thought about government in afghanistan. the announcement came as the country foreign minister visited washington. there is still much to be done in afghanistan, and butler remains committed to continue then a city walk alongside with the united states and partners on the wall. we are dedicated to contributing to the severity of afghanistan and the safety end will being of the african people. the stealthy g dial up to date would discuss issues of mutual interest and literary effort out a determination to deepen our co operation in various fields, including strengthening our defense and security partnership. the 1st established cutter as the united states protecting power in afghanistan. cutter will establish a u. s. intersection within its embassy in afghanistan to provide certain consular

services, and monitor the condition, security of u. s. diplomatic facilities in afghanistan. the 2nd agreement, formalize is our partnership with cutter to facilitate the travel of afghans with us special immigrant visas. a role that it's already been playing in many instances and serve as a transit point for eligible afghans as they complete their application process. or awesome jordan joins us now live from the state department. so what does this agreement mean for the u. s. his ability to engage with the taliban while this is going to be an indirect engagement, but it's a relationship that to the u. s. has a long been practice done because cutter was of the place where the u. s. and the taliban negotiated the end to the u. s. military presence in afghanistan. that agreement, of course reached during the trumpet ministration back in 2020 a. but because the u. s. does not recognize the taliban as the legitimate

government in cobbled because of deep concerns about top. it's a treatment of afghan women and children of its treatment of religious minorities, of its commitment to i engaging in put the u. s. considers on fundamental rights the right to free expression, the right to political engagement, the right to challenge the government saw policies. it is not going to extend that recognition, but the u. s. has an obligation to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked alongside the u. s government during the 20 year long war. and so this is really a way for the us to be able to meet its obligations to us citizens and their families, as well as to afghan citizens who cooperated with the u. s. military largely as well as basically having that back door channel to communicate to the taliban on to lesson until there is some sort of political transition. one that would meet the u

. s. the standards, in which case you would then see a recognition of the government and cobble and that is on corresponding, laughing so much. still had an al jazeera, there's been another high profile appointment incident just weeks after the military seized power. main ma sentences and american journalists to 11 years in prison, prompting condemnations and concerns from the un washington. ah, hello once again, welcome to another look at the international forecast taste if we're went to coming into northern parts of the middle east. this band of clabbered extends all the way down to the red sea, bringing some egg, outbreaks of rain across sir western pass, saudi arabia, eastern areas of egypt to cease from wet weather and some winfrey weather.

let's go to our fisheries live for us at the white house. this comes against the backdrop of warnings from china, about a cold war between the 2 countries. a lot for the 2 leaders to get through. right. alan, exactly, and of course some it's still happened unless there is an outcome agreed in advance, and that's we're expecting to see joe biden would love to meet judging, paying in person, but that's not happening. the chinese president simply not leaving the country and hasn't done it since march last year. so this will all be done virtually will be done here at the white house. on monday, the will talk about a number of things that they have in common. first of all, getting on top of the corporate crisis, there's the global supply chain as well. 3 there is also the climate change. we know that joe biden was pretty the call of the chinese for not showing up in glasgow essentially saying that if you want to be a world leader you have to show up to lead at there will be other things that they will touch on, including nuclear weapons, they will talk about it,

china's military operations in and around taiwan. i remember it's just a week ago that the americans have said that they are obliged. joe biden said that they are obliged to defend taiwan and would do so. and of course, there's been quite a leap forward in chinese military technology with them testing a supersonic aircraft that can go into space or something that might milly who is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. here in the united states said the change in china's wealth and also its military operations is the greatest geopolitical shift in more than 20 years. so yes, they've got a lot to cover while they are able to do it one day, probably not. but if they can show some sort of cooperation on things like exports and visa controls, then they will regard this as a success. and it's really about getting the relationship back on track. because the relationship between the chinese and the united states has been, it's still me for a number of months. all right, thanks so much. anne fisher,

a legit voter fraud. my modem. why has more for me back that was just those have moved it closer to the gate of the green zone and but does, these aren't supported as of the pro iranian political parties. that last and the parliamentary elections? the recent anger has been, has been figured by then i was meant recently made by the supreme council of judiciary that the votes rigging, claims in the parliamentary elections have no legal standing. now that means that the electoral commission is moving forward to endorse the initial results of the election. and that of course is not in favor of that through iranian political parties. that last many cease and dependency and actions. they say

that they say that unless consensus as reaching between the rival up parliamentary blocks between that i have a political part parties, then they will continue protesting here looking roads near the green zone. most of these protests out of minutes, the individuals even in civilian question, but the minute the individuals that a members of the pub without a mobilization forces, the military winks of the pro iranian political parties. that last many seats and election and many of them here say that the only way that they can leave the area as that then parties take part in forming the government. but if that happens, if they're brew urena and political parties that are accused of corruption accused of mismanagement, accused of runing,

the system. and it's not just the international community who lost trust in them. when i told many people about my mission, when i spoke to families who are destitute in bush homage in the pony in bol bake, they often answered murphy. dolly, there is no state the have nots confidence in the ability of the state to provide a response. so he, this is the un envoy explained in detail how hears of long standing inequalities, the lack of social protection systems, and an economic model that benefited the rich contributed to the collapse. for example, the connections between politicians and the private sector reached the highest levels of political power in lebanon. 18 out of 20 banks had major shareholders linked to political elite. lebanon is also one of the most unequal countries in the world where some 10 percent of the population holds nearly 70 percent of the wealth

. while 40 percent of public revenue comes from taxes that affect the poor. the authorities have been blamed for decades of mismanagement and corruption have failed to stop the economic collapse. it took 13 months of political bickering before they agreed on a new cabinet in september. but it hasn't been able to convene in the past months because of a new political crisis. there should tear blamed government in action for what he called a manufactured crisis that ruined lives and condemned the majority of the population into poverty. the population is facing unprecedented challenges, impoverishment is widespread. i saw scenes in lebanon that i had not imagined i would ever see in the middle income country. the you and envoy didn't describe lebanon as a failed state, at least not yet. he did say it is headed in that direction with a government failing its population. that doesn't believe it will work. and the
