more prosperous will. and this is all time to deliver on the high ambition set by our leaders. at the start of this summit, we must rise to the occasion will unless say, current pledges are still not enough and the earth is currently on track with $2.00 degrees of warming. but there has been some progress. china in the u. s. the world's top greenhouse gas, emitted se they'll increase cooperation deals to n. deforestation. cut methane and phase out fossil fuels have also been made. but financing the transition remains a key sticking point. we will continue to champion $1.00, which is on hulu. sions, north star hawkins subsidies must end. we must double adaptation finance from current level. often damage is key central to settle for workshops, we must strengthen action on lock you down. 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. you can minimize the challenge now is for those of us who are progressive, move along need to hold the line on children or grandchildren. this is critical now with our environment headed a net clock is following the negotiations for us in glasgow. behind the scenes a 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 nights with the various negotiating blocks to try and find some common ground on the next iteration of the text. 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 fact to this move 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 $77.00, group of developing nations, that is a red line. if the rich countries don'ts out, the anti 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 a straight leah, the federal government that doesn't support phasing out coal critics of label the trailer, a climate prior neglecting it's pacific island neighbors like a want to who have the most to lose the archipelago is one of the most at risk countries in the wild with rising sea levels already encroaching on a plant bath. it's representatives are calling for more investment from wealthy nations to protect vulnerable islands on the front lines of climate change. leaders

of the asia pacific region have pledged increased corporation to help lead the recovery from the private 19 pandemic. the apex summit was host advanced by new zealand and him in increasing regional tension, particularly between the united states and china. when he reports, ah, they were the traditional welcomes and ceremonies as new zealand hosted this he is asia pacific economic cooperation meetings. but for the 2nd consecutive year, the cove at 19 pandemic meant those meetings were held virtually. the culmination was the leaders summit, which resulted in a joint declaration full of positivity around co operation on the environment economy and the pandemic. so where they may have been potentially in the past, an opportunity or, or at an area where you may have same forms of protectionism or nationalism. and the response you saw the opposite. a real commitment from a peak economies to overcome noise issues. in normal times,

it's the sideline meetings, away from the spotlight with the big decisions and deals are made in the virtual world. it's difficult to get a sense of any tension, but it was brought to the surface during a speech by china's president. she jin ping to a c e o summit the day before the lead is met and shall be thought mocking towards him. move ahead. i'm very jack practices are of discrimination and exclusion of others. yes, you attempt to draw to article lines or reforms more circles on geopolitical crowns are bound to fail. you should pacific region be cannot and should not rely please enter the confrontation and division of the court war era. his comments appeared to be in response to the united states, increasing military cooperation with regional allies, including india, japan and australia, and came after years of trade. tensions between the 2 countries. on monday, president, she will meet virtually with his u. s counterpart, joe biden. there are also issues around the trade pact known as the comp,

sense of and progressive agreement for trends. pacific partnership, all 11 members are also apec members. and now china wants to join. but so does taiwan, which beijing regards as a breakaway province, that it will one day retake. there was, of course, no mention of that at this a pick summit, not publicly anyway, but despite the virtual nature of the meeting, there was still an opportunity for the tradition of the leaders posing in an item of clothing of the host choice wayne hey al jazeera toner, new zealand, o, as well as mentioned there and much anticipated virtual summit between the chinese and us. presidents will be happening on monday. the 1st major opportunity to improve relations. tensions have been rising over taiwan and american support of pro democracy protests in hong kong. alan fischer has one out from the white us some it still happened unless there is a note come agreed in advance and that's we're expecting to see joe biden would love to meet gigi ping in person. but that's not happening at 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 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 at we know that joe biden was pretty critical of the chinese for not showing up in glasgow. essentially seeing that if you want to be a world leader, you have to show up to lead ad. there will be other things that they will touch on, including nuclear weapons. they will talk about it, china's military operations in an 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 really who is

the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. here in the united states said the change in china's wealth and also it's military operations. is the greatest geopolitical shift in more than 20 years. so yes, they've got a lot to cover. well, 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. 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 or former donald trump aid steve bannon has now been formally charged with contempt of congress. he was subpoenaed by the committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capital that is refusing to testify. the house of representatives panel is trying to determine the origins of the plan by trump supporters to stop the certification of president biden's 2020 election. when kristen salumi has a detail where there are 2 contempt of congress charges,

one for failing to testify before the house committee and another for 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 band and had to say when he didn't show up. they voted him in contempt of courts 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 on bruce fine. as a former us associate deputy attorney general. and he says he thinks bannon is hoping that trump will win the presidency in 2024 and pardon him. but i think what this case reveals is the dare election of congress to end the delaying tactics. that in i, the american people, the urgent need to know what transpired on january 6th, what were the motives behind it? because it was the most serious effort in the history of the united states, basically, to overthrow our constitutional system for peaceful transfers of presidential power . the united states supreme court has repeatedly affirm the power of congress to

inherently punish those who defy its a penis with imprisonment in congressional detention centers by fines. and even with regard to impeachment, the congress of the united states voted an article of impeachment against richard nixon. for flouting one subpoena until all of this court maneuvering can be avoided if congress will just step up to the plate and assert its prague of inherent contempt authority and make these people pay a penalty immediately. moreover, the united states supreme court has never once held that executive privilege can be asserted against congress. never once tried it made evaluations of asserting it against judges. the nixon case, it is not an absolute privilege, but i do not believe even this supreme court, which is populated by 3 justices appointed by president trump wood for the 1st time and 234 years. say that president executive branch or even

a former president kanai congress. this plenary power of oversight to ensure we have government in the sunshine and that all worries about corrupting the process of politics and elections are discharged by oversight and full information. mostella had here on out as era agencies demand urgent access along the beller is poland. border as thousands of migrants remain stuck for yet another night in freezing cold conditions. with hello, once again, welcome to another look at the international forecast taste if we're went to coming
