exploring how the coven 19 pandemic struck the nation. it's continuing impact and the lessons learned for the future. join me fade as those are for context. india analysis is eda ah inter, over time, late night talks continue for this is called 26 climate summit as countries strongly to re to deal to baffled global warming. ah. hello i, melinda. this is al 0 life from day are also coming up. agencies demand and access along the galleries, poland borders, thousands of migrants remain stuck for yes, another night. freezing cold conditions steve balance charge with contempt of

congress. the former chief strategist to president donald trump is refusing to testify as possibly the investigation into the storming of the u. s. capital and how iceland is punching way above its weight when it comes to agricultural innovation for you and climate, summer in glasgow has gone into over time as delegates try to reach an agreement on a draft plan to protect the planet from catastrophic global warming representatives from nearly 200 countries are having their stay on the plan. the core aim is to count global warming at 1.5 degrees for this to happen. the wild needs to cut emissions by 45 percent by the year 2030, and achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2050. that has been some progress. china and the u. s. the world's top greenhouse gas emitters,

say they will increase corporation deals to end deforestation. cut off methane and phase out fossil fuels have also been made the financing. the transition remains a key sticking point atlas. a car and pledges are not enough and the earth is on track for 2.7 degrees of warming. this is our collective moment in history. this is our chance to forge a cleaner, healthier, more prosperous world. and this is our time to deliver on the high ambition set by our leaders. at the start of this summit, we must rise to the occasion. we will continue to champion why fi 5, which is our coalition. the north star hospital subsidies must end. we must double adaptation finance from current level. often damage is to central craft for federal

for workshop. we must strengthen action on law through damage. and we need an article 6 resolution that results in real reduction. 0 sum offsetting era mustang. with a minimum we need to walk away bare minimum. the challenge now is for those of us who are progressive, move along. we need to hold the lines. oh, fuck children or grandchildren. this is critical. now. the clock is following the negotiations from glasgow behind the scenes. i lots of negotiations on going we heard from the called president alex sha mother and he's told us recently that said there are intensive consultations going on right now. and only through the night with the various negotiating blocks to try and find some common ground on the next

iteration of the tax. and we're expecting that that's a 3rd one. we'll get that tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning. and after that, they'll be a meeting of all the countries involved. they'll talk about every bit, they'll argue about it for a bit, then they'll go back to the respective negotiating blocks. and then in the afternoon, alex alma says there will be a mass plenary where all the countries will come together. and he says at that point, he's hoping to get some sort of resolution of glasgow. pat, if you like it, it will be a miracle. if that does happen. i suspected leone a bit longer, possibly into night, possibly into sunday at, it's a very complex set of negotiations. you can have a lot of situations where negotiating teams will be calling that capitals on particular negotiating issues, especially when it comes to issues like coal and so forth. phasing out coal big part of it, it's made it into the text is been watered down since the 1st draft, and we'll see if it survives the night to night into the 3rd draft to morrow emissions. another big factor this move

a to get countries to provide new commitments for next year. and then there's that big issue possibly the deal breaker of climate finance. not just the $100000000000.00 a year that was promised way back in 2009 and now will be delayed until 2023. but also that issue that we were hearing to say the while ago about loss and damage. whereby money is given to developing countries who are facing the worst effects of climate change and for them for the g 77 group of developing nations that is a red line. if the rich countries don't out the answer provide the money that they need, then this whole deal is off. one of the country is refusing to commit to stronger short term targets is australia. the federal government doesn't support the phasing out of coal. critics have labeled australia a climate career neglecting it's pacific island neighbors who have the most to lose fullness, less cost to sarah clark, investment australia. so as we were saying that australia has been criticized for

its lack of commitment to any short term targets, even described as a climate parade, what's the reaction been to the latest draft called plan? let's say it's been very slow to commit to even the 0 net emissions by 2050. and the suggestion was this week that it was australia leading the charge to try and walk down the agreement that is currently being negotiated in glasgow. now strategy, as you mentioned, has been reluctant to support the phasing out of cala bit of background. australia is the 2nd largest exporter of coal. we also one of the largest m, a highest emitters per capita of greenhouse gases. now, the prime minister, he last week, he refused to join those countries are pledging to support the phasing out of con, before he even went to glasgow. he said that it's a stallion policy not to support our policies like this or mandates like this. now, australia, however, has pledged an extra $500000000.00 to

a climate funds to help it's asian pacific neighbors that has certainly been welcomed by some of those countries including fiji, which says it's a start. i in the, in the process of helping the pacific islands now sadly, only for pacific arnold leaders were able to make it at to glasgow simply due to cova. but certainly they've got so much to lose. and they were very big voice and the likes of scientists to say the pacific islands, some of them will be uninhabitable by 2030. the likes of tuba lu and samoa. and most of these low lying call at holes will be gone her by 2030. now we spoke to out, is there a spoke to some villages and some people residing on the island of malik cooler in our velocity. and they talked about life living with climate change and the day to day battling the likes of the extreme weather and circumstances that are in thy face. in van iwatsu, just, we just build and then it is destroyed and we build again. if the whole world could see what we are going through and find a solution to help us overcome these natural disasters. whenever

a natural disaster comes, instead of us just rebuilding and rebuilding, we need solutions to be found for us at a community over a level on a separate note. so the i picked countries released a statement over night where they've agreed to try and move away from their dependence on for so huge. and in a statement the nation's about to hold an increase in subsidies for fossil fuel. so that's certainly lays what fits the ground for future. i pick meetings to discuss the issue of climate change when he, thanks for that, sarah clark, their 1st and brisbin, australia for mcdonald from aid. steve bannon has been formerly charged with 2 criminal acts for disobeying a congressional order. the 67 year old was chief strategists in trump white house. he was subpoenaed on his refusing to testify in front of the congressional committee investigating the attack on the capital on january 6th. the committee is

trying to determine the origins of the attack that was planned by trump, supporters to stop the certification of president barton's 2020 election. when kristen slay me, has the latest where there are 2 contempt of congress charges one for failing to testify before the house committee and another failing to produce documents requested by the committee. steve ban in the long time adviser to the former president was subpoenaed and asked to appear by the committee that is investigating the january 6 capital breach. they say that they had reason to believe that he had information regarding the balance that took place that day. they point to statements, he made the day before the january 6 attack on the capital in a podcast in which he said that extreme events were going to happen and quotes all hell is going to break loose on the following day. so the house wanted to hear what

steve been and had to say when he didn't show up. they voted him in contempt of court. that finding was turned over to the courts in the united states. the u. s. attorney presented it to a so called grand jury, who found that there was reason to move forward with criminal charges against the president's former adviser. and if he's found guilty of these charges, he could face up to a year in prison on each one as well as a significant fine cattle will represent you as diplomatic interests in afghanistan, they haul. we'll assume the role of protecting power to facilitate formal communication between washington and cobble us doesn't recognize the taliban government in afghanistan. rosalind jordan reports when the afghan government fell to the taliban in august, the us relied on its military and on cutter to evacuate. americans and afghans at

risk, nearly 3 months later, washington and doha, are formalizing a collaboration born out of crisis 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. the last of the u. s. embassy officials left cobble on august 31st. so it's been very difficult for the state department to get passports and visas to us and afghan citizens. now, cutlery officials and cobble will fill that void more important. they'll act as a go between for the taliban and the biden administration. the coterie foreign minister says the agreement will help advance another u. s. cutter priority supporting the afghan people, especially when it comes to human rights. we believe engaging with body bonds since

they are empowered right now is very important for us to ensure that our facilitation for humanitarian assistance is moving smoothly and also encouraging them and urging them all the time to a stand up to their commitments and their pledges for the international community. the agreement also shows just how far relations between the u. s. and cutter have come, despite occasional differences, after near 50 years of diplomatic ties, the tropic ministration, back to the gcc blockade against dough hall, imposed in june 2017. a diplomatic route, only resolved in january and analysts say cutters, new roll, representing the interests of the world's most powerful country. and a contentious region represents a payoff of years of diplomatic ambition. cutter has been in the game so to speak

for quite some time when it comes to the situation with afghan or standing rest relations with on. so i actually think that it's a very logical choice and it makes good sense from those perspective. the deal between the us and cutter is limited and scope. it doesn't mean that they agree on how to engage the tall a bond as a political entity. and only experience will show whether having a proxy represent the u. s. is entertainment cobble will actually satisfy. it's long term national security goals. rosalyn, jordan, l g 0, the state department and he's 15. people are entered. alta bomb was set off in a mosque in afghanistan's manga province, but the voice was reportedly place no sunni, most pulpit. the had been a spite of similar tags on mostly sheer mosques of a no claims of responsibility for this omen. so fall phil has own out his era, anger avenue, lockdown measures in the netherlands as cave in 19 cases such once again,

harshest conditions using iceland plentiful supply of geothermal, heat, and green energy. we are self sufficient with kil compass. we produce all the cucumber satellite concealed per year in tomorrow that we're about maybe $55.00, possibly up to 60 percent in the next couple of years. a little bit with salad that we are producing. about half of all the salad that is consumed every year in lead, bel, pepito popper, car and fit, and culinary hopes we produce about 20 to 30 percent of all the iceland. climate may seem like a disadvantage when it comes to agriculture. in this country has to huge advantages, an endless supply of pure water and renewable energy. as a result, innovation is sprouting in the industry, has farmers and scientists work out how to best use resources and minimize waste and free time, or the desire to reduce the carbon footprint of to motor imports has grown into

a profitable business. here the elements a tightly controlled by computer, and there's no need for pesticides this far, nor others, and looking even further into the future. this protein rich micro allie uses just one percent of the water and one percent of the land needed to grow soil p protein . this closed loop system is carbon negative and highly efficient gobbling, carbon dioxide emitted from the geothermal plant next door. it's an environment that could be replicated on a local level to produce protein year round prov. you harvest maybe once, twice, maybe 3 times a year to 3 times a year. yeah. and then you have the receipt. re harvey's about 5 to 10 percent of the entire every day. the next day it was this small island is punching way above its weight in terms of agricultural innovation. even china sent

a delegation to learn more about how to grow crops and controlled environments. radical ideas like this, they're going to be key to shaking up the global food system. a system currently vulnerable to climate change, pests, and disease. a system that can no longer run entirely on traditional farming methods. charlie angela out there re quote, iceland. the european commission says it won't be intimidated by threats from validation president, alexander lucas shanker. after he said he would cut off russian gas applies to europe. it comes as thousands of refugees remain stuck and addresses border with poland courts and a political stand off. showing no sign of ending. i said, beg reports, these scenes were filmed by russia's sputnik agency, apparently showing belushi and forces handing out food. it's not clear how many of the thousands of people camped out would have got anything. here as a woman lies ill on the ground, people show
