what we want to know is how does these things affect people? we revisit places state even when they're no international headline. al jazeera, really invest in that, and that's a privilege. as a journalist, lou, this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm sammy's a them. this is the news out live from dell coming up in the next 60 minutes. the clock ticking to save the planet, world leaders racing against time to reach a climate deal at the closing of the comp $26.00 summit calls for more access to the border with by the roost. by and geo volunteers are up to 2000 refugees and migrants of traps in freezing conditions. the 1st established cutter

as the united states protecting power in afghanistan in an agreement between the u . s. and cutoff, a dollar to handle washington's interests in afghanistan. and the un report accuses evidence government of failing its people and punching the country deeper into poverty. i'm devin ash, with the sport. sergio aguirre speaks out after claims his heart condition can end his career, the argentina and boss later striker says he's following medical advice and staying positive after being billed out for 3 months because of the problem. ah, it's the last day of the un climate conference in glasgow, a summit described as a final chance to avoid catastrophic global warming. a draft agreement is being

considered by nearly 200 nations. the core aim is to keep the paris agreement alive to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees over this to happen. the world needs to kathy mitch since by 45 percent, by 2030, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. well, there has been some progress. china and the u. s. the world's top greenhouse gas emitters are increasing co operation. we've also had deals to n deforestation, cart, methane, and phase out fossil fuels financing. the transition remains a sticking point, though. there's still a long way to go. analysts say current pledges are not enough. the world is on track for a $2.00 degrees of warming. our environment editor nick clark is following developments at the un climate conference in glasgow. also joining us, we have bernard smith, he's joining us live from brazil at start 1st though with nick clark. so nick,

how's it going though? it does this look like we're gonna wrap things up today with hopefully a miraculous announcement that puts everything back on track for 1.5 degrees, or is that wishful thinking? or wishful thinking. i think sammy 6 pm friday night, which is where we're at now. and this is when the conference should end, it should come to a conclusion, but realistically it's going to go up for at least another 24 hours. i'd say possibly even more of these things, do we have had a kind of global stop tape to where we're at with that 2nd text that you were talking about. and it was friday, constructive lot of thumbs up about various elements, but also an awful long way to go as well. you have to remember, this is not just about creating a treaty like the pass agreement was back in 2015. this is about a variety of decisions and resolutions add to our muscles to keep the temperatures from rising b r one, and how to ru celsius over pre industrial levels. so to get to that point,

you have to have consensus and when you got a $190.00 odd countries involved, it's very hard to get consensus and that's why it takes so long and it always goes over time. so in summary, the key issues facing colin, ending fossil fuels subsidies that is in the text of the man, which is pretty remarkable. we've never seen that before. it was watered down last night, but it's still there. will it be there in the morning? that's a critical thing. finance. developing nations owed tens of billions of dollars is no guarantee they going to get it. emissions cuts, nothing like enough where way off where we need to be as you would just say. and according to the climate minister grenade at that simon's deal, and he says if the text with stanza battering it make it overnight, we will be holding onto one and a half degrees celsius by our fingernails. sir, is that the best we can hopeful as else go guess, professor simon learned that from university college london, global expert on climate change post. and so simon, what's your view of where we're at right now? do you think this company is gonna deliver?

well, we're in this like difficult in game, and i think one of the important elements that is in there is that it asking countries to come back next year with improved climate plans. and that means that 1.5 we could hang on with our fingernails if that survives to the very end of the final gap. because at the moment it's 2025, isn't it? so that's another 4 years ways. the idea is to get it to next year, but not everybody wants that to happen, right? exactly. not everyone wants to happen, but they, us, china, declaration of a couple of days ago. did set out that that was a possibility vagina. and if you get john or new s 44 percent of global emissions saying it, they can live with plans for next year. then they can bring other countries on board. and that's what we really need to see now is united states and also the european union. he's been very quiet, very, very missing from the talks to step up in solidarity with the small island state and the vulnerable countries and say, let's get

a really ambitious deal over the line over the next 24 hours or so. tell us a little bit about process sun and what's gonna happen tonight in the coming hours ahead of the final resolution. this is now at this stage. it's with country ministers and they're taking political decisions rather than like nitty gritty, technical decisions on the, on the tax to say for example, can develop countries give more finance. how are they gonna mobilize the finance that's required to help countries adapt to climate change to deal with the loss and damage? so if a hurricane goes through, how do they pay for that afterwards? and then also for them to leapfrog the fossil fuel age and move straight to renewables. so that's a real ministers and heads of state discussion about how much finance can be provided. and then is that unlikely to satisfy the developing nations? we heard the bro industry of kenya said that he lost all trust. we've developed countries while there is a big issue of trust because in 2009, the developed countries said that they will provide a $100000000000.00

a year. and they still haven't done it, they're not projected to do it until 2023. so there's a big issue of trust between the developed and developing asians will, will the developing developed nations really ah, stand up to their commitments and, and live up to their commands because they haven't so far. right. professor solice, appreciate your expertise. thanks very much to leave that. that's it from us for now from glasgow branch in the studio, so my fingers crossed on how it goes there. thanks so much, nick clark and burn the smith joins us now from mouse in the amazon rain forest. and there's been some talk about deforestation, an issue that impacts the people behind you there some a yes, this is man out the main passenger terminal that takes people and goods down the rio negro to where it meets the amazon. and many people going back to the some 60 odd cities on almost 500 indigenous communities that call this part of the world

home. someone else is caused by the world over more than 40 years. is philip fern side who was part of in to into government for panel on climate change at one i'm a nobel peace prize in 2017 joins us here today. thank you very much. speaking to us, 1st of all, are you persuaded by both scenarios, government's promise to end illegal deforestation by 2030? that's really very misleading promise because there are 2 ways you can and the legal deforestation want us to really and the 4 sessions and the other is simply legalized what's going on already. and it's that 2nd path that it represents was actually occurring. and i've been several last past land grab as well as recently, and others that are advancing through the committees in the national congress that make it much easier to legalize illegal land claims in these so called and designated public land. there's a lot of government land in the brazilian amazon that hasn't been set aside as

a reserve are made into a satellite area. it's just vacant land. it's illegal to invade it, but it happens all the time. and now they're, they're all of these laws that make it easier to legalize these claims, and people are effectively rewarded for, for violating the law. and this, this makes it possible, legalize the deforestation done, and then get permission to legally from then on from what we've seen just around them. and now, sarah deforestation, she finally rampant and fairly open. how on earth can you possibly end it? between now and 2030. it was a realistic promise to make a com. 26 of course make promises far into the future because no politician in any country is still going to be an office. so someone else is going to be doing most of the, complying with that thing, but still it's important to have these promises, even though just looking at the situation that it isn't what you would expect.

because it opens the door to having pressures on the government having other countries that are also sign these are these agreements for example, condition their imports of reveals beef and soil on keeping. just promise and deforestation has to follow a certain path until you get there. and if china would do that, you would have an immediate effect on the for assertion who are all around 4000000 people who call this place home. it is a living working environment. how do you reconcile need to try and protect damage from the need. but this is going to grow. populations are going to grow. people are going to build lives here. there are a lot more than 4000000 people over 20000000 people in the brazilian amazon. but about 70 percent of them living cities. and really the, the people who are supported by the cattle pastors and so i reasons,

so for things is really have very little labor involved. it's just minuscule. so the idea that this for a space is something that is needed to so people can feed themselves isn't, isn't the case in brazil. philip, thank you very much for talking about, is there this afternoon? one of the big issues of the discussion as well. and one of the complaints of brazil and developing countries is that rich countries never caught up the cash they promised in the last 20 to 10 years, also to help them combat climate change and bodies another that is a current sticking point at those talks in glasgow how much the rich will pay the developing nations to combat climate change? i, thanks so much bernard smith, there. now the european commission says it will not be intimidated by threats from by the russian president, alexander lucas shanker. of shanker said he would cut off or could cut off. russian gas applies to europe. this comes as thousands of refugees remains stark bellows.

his border with poland. they are caught in a political stand off that shows no sign of ending nadine baba reports. oh, in the dog, cuz dogs bark a child cries out daddy, while polish troops film was 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 recognized the agencies access the borders and with better, russ saying 10 refugees and migrants have already died on polish territory on yet probably ownership on what's coming into know, we've been responding to the situation to save lives, where the government has restricted access to humanitarian organizations to deliver aid in the restricted area. nevertheless, since mid october, we've been approached by over 3000 people that been trapped. and since the beginning of november, we've been asked by at least 900 people, they had no food,

they had no shelter. they had no drinking water. when we meet them at the polish 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 forests for days just not to be blown. lay amboy, that actually the scenes were filmed by russia. sputnik agency, apparently showing bella 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 ill on the grounds, people show a bellow russian guard what asthma 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 mostly because of called her baby seek her eyes. her problem arise out for her baby. he cushion closely. she crying because of that 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 responses 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 barber al jazeera 20 marcella had on the news hour, including another high profile appointment in sudan just weeks after the military

seized power. the u. s. white house concerns a highly anticipated virtual meeting between the u. s. and chinese leaders. and england can book their place in the world comp later details coming up with gemma in sport. ah, the secretary of state is announced. cutter will represent the diplomatic interests of the u. s. in afghanistan. casa, will assume the role of protecting power to facilitate formal communication between washington and cobble. the u. s. does not recognize taliban government in afghanistan. there is still much to be done in afghanistan and thought that remains committed to continue then as a city walk alongside with the united states and partners along the world. we are dedicated to contributing to the severity of afghanistan and the safety end will

being of the afghan people. the stealthy g guy look to day would discuss issues of mutual interest and literary effort out of determination to deepen our cooperation 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 pieces. 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 barrels and jordan joins us live from the state. departments are also in. what does this agreement mean for the level of us engagement with the tony bon well,

it's not really going to change the u. s. had tando what it called a tactical or pragmatic engagements with the taliban. but the u. s. government is not prepared and probably won't be prepared for some time to recognize the taliban as the legitimate government in afghanistan. that's because in the u. s. is view the previous sud democratically elected government was overthrown and that there needs to be a political process to put in a new government that has been chosen and supported by the afghan people. but that said, the u. s. still does have interest in afghanistan. it needs a way to be able to get visas and passports delivered to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked with the u. s. military during the 20 year long war and so on without its own diplomats being on the ground in cobble to do this processing. it needed another country to step in and to help them achieve this work because of the

ongoing, the cooperation that he had received from the coterie government. the decision was made to formalize this relationship as it were. and the countries say that they are more than happy to take on this work. i will leave you there. thanks so much. rosalind jordan. now the powerful head of a sudanese paramilitary units has been made the deputy head of the new sovereign council. i'm at ham than the gallow retains the position he held in the recently dissolved council sedans, military ousted the civilian government, 2 weeks ago. the stablished a new routing buddy sco live to have a move in, in cartoons a. how are people digesting the news of the new appointment by of the gala? yes, well people have been protesting since the decree came out that the sovereignty counsel will be made up of general abdel for the hon as well as that glow as well as of the military members. they've been protesting against the whole formation of the

sovereignty council. now they believe that this is a step further in the military take over, especially because members of the forces of freedom and change coalition. the coalition that represented the protest movement have not been included in the sovereignty counsel. now we've seen protests on thursday when the announcement was made, was also seen protest on friday afternoon. people coming out to condemn the announcement, but they're also mobilizing for more protests. now it's worth noting that while members of the sovereignty council have been for name 3 members who were listed on yesterday's announcement, have not been point in their members of the group that signed a peace agreement with the transitional government in the south to the new capital juba in 2020. now the head of the good news rebels, the revolutionary front, that's the group. that's one of the group that signed the piece agreement with the transitional government says that they do not recognize this current take over as, as a legitimate government. and that they've calling for people to put a truck to try to pressure the military to bring back before my government. and

they say they will not be part of this military take over and described as a cool. so 3 members of the sovereignty council who have been listed on thursday evening, are yet to be sworn in, and it looks like at least one of them has rejected his appointment. there's also the issue of prime minister, the countries waiting to see who the general of them will pick as prime minister for his transitional p cabinets, which he says will be made up of technocrats people who are not affiliated to any political parties. but in the meantime, there are calls for mass protest. people are thing that they will try to turn out in every single state around the country to show their objection to the military takeover and that they don't want anything except the return of the previous transitional government. because that was the path to the democratic session, which they say when the military took over. they robbed them from. all right, thanks so much. have a morgan, they're hundreds of pro rainy and paramilitary for supporters continued to protest . last month's election result in iraq. been staging a city in outside baghdad,

screens and since last friday, the demonstrators want the ballots re counted manually due to a legit voter fraud. i would otherwise have has more from bank that were just those have moved closer to the gate of the green zone. and but does, these are supporters of the pro iranian political parties. that last and the parliamentary elections, recent anger has been, has been figured by their announcement recently made by the supreme council of judiciary that the vote 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 the parliamentary elections. they say that they say that unless consensus as reaching between the rival parliamentary blocks between that i have a political party parties, then they will continue protesting here looking rows near the green zone. most of these processes are minutes, the individuals even in civilian custom, but the miniature individuals that are members of the popular mobilization course in the military wings 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 is that their parties take part in forming the government. but if that happens at their through arena and political parties that are

accused of corruption accused of mismanagement, accused of runing, the state funds and the state institutions, and they take part in forming the new government. then then that would bring the country back to square one back to 2019 when her protest as that is rose up against for us. now, after a frosty year of bitter disputes, leaders of the world, superpower, america, and china will need virtually on monday, the white house says our focus on quote, responsibly managing competition. she is not left china since january last year. the to last spoke on the phone in september. alan fisher explains why this meeting is so important. so this will all be done virtually. it will be done here at the white house. on monday they 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, and when we're that joe biden was pretty critical 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 you're bitin, 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. i something that might millie, 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. will they be 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 in beijing, china as communist party has passed, a resolution that will pave the wave of president she to extend his time in power. the motion puts him on an equal footing with paul his most important historical figures including founder nancy dawn, katrina, you reports from bay jane. he has no air, no, no rival. and now she didn't, paying has been elevated to a status only one person has held before the people's leader. this week, about 400 of china's top officials adopted a landmark resolution that strengthened the 68 year old grip on power and paid the way for him to begin an unprecedented 3rd term in office. next year, he give you an official communique released at the end of the gathering refers to

she was a man of political courage when you have this kind of net, ging put out domestically and have him lionized and celebrated in this way and presented as the driving force of this great effort to achieve the rejuvenation of a chinese nation. it makes people inquiring generalizing to add additional importance to him and to see him as some kind of national savior. she didn't things, philosophy known as she thought is already taught widely in schools. universities and workplaces. now his vision of communist party history has been accepted as the official history of the party. the accomplishments listed include the crackdown on mass protests and subsequent political reform in hong kong. poverty alleviation and pandemic control. the resolution itself, i think, will serve as a big rallying point for the chinese people to fully acknowledge the great success

of the communist poly of china and the chinese nation hall. only 2 other leaders, communist party founder, not the dog and economic reformer. tongue sell pain, have had historical resolutions adopted during their rule. but unlike previous resolutions, she's makes no acknowledgment of any mistakes or problems. she isn't paying is china's most powerful leader for decades. and the resolution unveiled this week enables him to rule for decades. war they genes aim is clear to promote the communist party and unify the people under she's authority support to say this allows him to effectively guide country in the face of increasing domestic and international challenges. critic say it further silence is scrutiny and constructive debate. there is much more of a tendency for the party, the government to pounds and agencies. and i guess the broader policy making

community outside government to fall into line with the directives and political vision of the party of asia, which is warring vagina domestically and worrying the world. she will get his $13.20, with the leadership re shuffle by the end of the year between artist iraq, peter while still had an al jazeera me and mar sentences, an american journalist to 11 years in prison, prompting condemnations and concerns from the un in washington, and how iceland is punching way above its weight when it comes to agricultural innovation? now, louis hamilton suffers a blow to his hopes of retaining the formula. one world title that's coming up with jemma is for ah

hello once again, welcome to another look at the international forecast taste if we're winter coming into northern parts of the middle east. this band of clabbered extends all the way down to the red sea. bring some egg, outbreaks of rain across sir western pass, saudi arabia, eastern areas of egypt to st in. wet weather and some wintry weather. meanwhile, sliding down across the iranian mountains. we got some wet weather now just pushing over towards the afghanistan over the next day, or 2 bits and pieces of spotty range is coming through here. meanwhile, a chance this is spotty, rain, some showers there into that western side of saudi arabia, from those same showers that we have just around the red sea. for the most part. the middle east, of course, is largely dry. plenty of haiti sunshine, but notice temperatures here with her struggling, struggling to get to 29 celsius on sunday afternoon troy. by stretching down across the horn of africa, we got the usual showers there around the rift valley. some showers there just on the e. c. o p in highlands wet weather. now gathering over to ward sir western side of

the democratic republic of congo. those showers becoming a little more widespread as we go on through the next couple of days running down out of ongoing and we'll see some wet weather coming into where zambia, zimbabwe also seeing some lively showers a much needed rain for the eastern cape. ah, the from the al jazeera london broadcast, fantastic people in full conversation. we were 1st to ratio black people and we had to really find our way with no hay. and no limitation. the world is a much smaller place. we do better to get away with these regional boundaries, films direct, thank you. in to tell me things some right in, you think about races. a certainly have is making us invisible here be unscripted coming soon on out to the era. the corona virus has been indiscriminately selecting this victims. it's devastating effects of.
