6:03 pm
the city are quite tight. and just to reach to the street where we are, we had to pass 3 checkpoints, guarded by the army, and the deport has no steel, at least at 5 different. the 6 or cartoon are continued. so the association of doctors in sudan just report that one person whose name is up to me, double carry me, have the shot and killed by the security forces in the district, which is hosting the now the largest a protest in cartoon. dr. association says 2 others are seriously injured, however, that doctor that you contact that from on to them on hospital told us that at least there are 19 people that are injured and 3 of them are now in a very critical situation. so this protests just taking place of this,
6:04 pm
you don't, i me, chief general up and off the new governing by internally, which includes the military members, militia leaders, representatives from echo sudan, not for forces and change. the main civilian coalition. i have had the shooting power with the military since 2019. and after that the resistance committed on forces of freedom and change has called on people to attend mass, read his own. don't settle the. there are no asking for an immediate restoration facility and government police want to go places and also for me to commit to the constitutional declaration which it signed with him in 2019. so now where we are close to the additional 50, it's a theme that we have seen that people protest. there's school pulls the the, the military take over how barricaded the was burned, the tires and chanting against armina, solidarity with the resistance. competing forces for the demand change,
6:05 pm
and i also have seen young protests there was shot very much close to a couple of meters away from us. and there are heavy security measures all around the places that have been planned for the protest. i be blocked by the security forces. all debris is connected to side just deny is also being blocked by the security forces to prevent people to gather, pull this shot in the air. and if the shutting in the air bite on the gas company over, i mean someone telling us, i'm sorry to interrupt you, because we just have to sum up everything that you've told us over the last few minutes. just to understand what's going on. there's been this been live fire on protesters. we'll take into the street today into don. you've told us about the, the, the demand. just give us a sense of who's on the streets right now. this protest was of course, called by the sudanese professional association. and the resistance committees,
6:06 pm
who's on the street today, the people who are on the streets are mostly those who support the support, the prime minister, hum, duke, and the transitional government. they have been mobilized by the resistance committees, the forces or freedom and change and the other civilian groups as well. so they say they represent them for now. so as i said, those people here are counting and seeing that don't with the military cool. restore the civilian government, release the prime minister. hum to these are the requests and they say don't trust soldiers on the light, rely on people and i, conic slowly is already. yeah. so i'm and that i, which means freedom peace and justice. so, you know, the, in the past that have been in a consultation between professors with us would have been being told by the security forces, particularly during the protest in 2019. and now there are the concerns that
6:07 pm
we're going to measures. i'm sorry to interrupt, to increase the casualties. yes, thank you so much for bringing us up to date there with what's been happening in khartoum and surrounding areas in the last few hours. i'm going to bring in someone now who's at one of the marches, in cartoon today. summer here and we'll barrack, who's a spokesperson for the sudanese professionals association. and she's joining us on the line. i understand that you are at one of the marches in cartoon. please tell us 1st what's been happening. is it true that police are firing live rounds on the protesters? yes, there has been live brown being shot. it's very difficult at the moment to tell the us the number of injuries, but the initial statistics that come in that there is one death in their mind. 7 increase may be more of course, due to the difficulties in communication. it's very tough for us to,
6:08 pm
to assess the amount of damage that has been done, but there has been excessive violence since the beginning of the march. today, the early part of the march, they tried to the, the joint armed forces, whether it's police army and the joint forces that are on the ground face the processors with, with gas and try to prevent the march from going on. but the number of the people were far larger than we are soon. there were still on the ground. they had been mass amounts of people on the streets in order to don in any injury, 0 faith in don't go get out if not blue and white face driven state and so on. okay, no, that's too bad. massa agreements amongst the sudanese people that we refuse the military
6:09 pm
. right if use the military being part of the political life incident and we want to lead to civilian group. we want the entire, the entire military out of the political life in sudan and we were looking for a new constitution on accommodate complete civilian rules. so you say you what you plan on demanding for civilian rule. it seems very difficult to make that happen right now, given that the army has been doubling down on his plans. how do you plan on demanding the complete civilian rule? as you say when, when, when you take to the street, the people take the street there being shocked by the security forces. well, well, definitely the moment we went out into early, late 2018 in december we were asking for freedom peace and justice. we're asking for democracy we, when we were asking for civilian when we were at the city and we were asking for
6:10 pm
civilian, that was one major slogan. and, but it didn't work. what to make we were going to work now was this is a process that's going on for the past 2 years. yes, it's good to work because this is the nice people have been going on. we didn't stop for the last 3 years. we went through this process knowing that it's a painful process and it's a difficult process, but we are adamant and it's the will of the to the people. it's the, the theme of the peaceful process and our voices that are out there. and we are coming out again and again, right by without crack down despite the violence that would be facing since 2019 some native incident. i understand that some i hear what about the civilian military packed partnership that was made in 2019 could you, would you actually going back to that agreement that, that, that was
6:11 pm
a compromise that failed that failed. it collapse because the military is not to be trusted. it collapsed on its own because the military, it's not to be trusted. the in the beginning it and on june, 3rd, the military or it's joint forces. i own the massacre of attempted, the attempted to bring people back again. we went out peacefully on, on the 30th of june and, and we for that that, that the army retaliate on. on this, on a school. we're going out again since the 25th of october, if it's, if it's, if we were willing to go back to the sub the 25th of october, we were sitting out on the streets were still organizing and mobilizing and we, we fear that any form of it's just the international community has been part witness to this agreement. yet the ministry just failed to keep up the funds of the
6:12 pm
actual community and as condemned the recent action by the government, the military government into don. what more would you like to see the international community do at this stage? we think the international community has a major role in far more than condemning this. is that by listening to what people are saying is we want the military out of the political life into that they should not be with a military regime in any form or any way because that's against the will of the city people. if it were in a vicious cycle of dictatorships, day and day out since our independence and we're trying to break this cycle, we have been adamant on doing this for the past 3 years. and we don't, we don't, we're not ready to go back into the site in one more time. we're going through this painful and tough journey in which we look many lives in the process. we have sacrificed and we have to stop everything just for the transmission to proceed
6:13 pm
further that we want to transform from a dictatorship from terry and to democratic. okay, thank you so much civilian democratic so done. thank you so much for talking to someone here. i'm a barrack, who's the spokesperson for the sudanese professional association, joining us there on the line from khartoum. and we'll keep a close eye on the situation incident for you and bring you all the very latest on this news hour. and still ahead on the program. a report from boone de way accelerated soil erosion is undermining for security. while deadlines are, may spend extra negotiations or underway at the comp $26.00 from the race to the cutout world cup continues. all the best of the action coming up in force later with me to the you and comment summit in glasgow. now,
6:14 pm
despite spending hours past there friday deadline, delegates still haven't agreed on the final plan to reduce global warming and protect our planet. the most recent proposal urges rich countries to double their financial mense on climate action by 2025, while letting government upgrade their conic padges for next year's comp summit in egypt. and they're also planned to phase out so called inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. something environmental groups have been fighting for as go live to nick clock or joins this from glasgow. he's covering this summit for his has been doing so for the last 2 weeks, it's been an intent to week, sneak at the, at the summit there in glasgow. we were supposed have had what a plenary session by now and a final session. but there's been a delay. what's happening there has been delayed but in fact it's i see it has to start to there'll gather in the whole behind the plenary hold behind me and other you can probably see the pitches village on the co president addressing the various delegations as you say, has been delayed,
6:15 pm
it was due to start as late and start at 10 o'clock that it was pushed to midday that it was pushed to 230. and it has literally only just begun. and what we have been seeing is also huddles of the different delegations around the place. just trying to thrash out the minute shy of the details of the text and where they see the problems are and trying to get some clarity resolution. in theory, this is going to be informal gathering of the plenary and then everybody will go away and talk more and then come back later and hopefully push through the final resolution from glasgow. i thought president l sharma, he's been saying that he wants to see this done this afternoon, whether or not to whether or not that rash happens remains to be seen because are a lot of fuzz, still burning. they're all talking about the 3rd iteration of the tech. so fall, there is some cause for optimism that you've alluded to. not least the phasing out of coal and fossil fuel subsidies, which has never been in that climate text before. but it is now, it has been watered down, but it is still there. also this question of ambition,
6:16 pm
bringing countries back to ratchet up at the ambitions to reduce emissions every year. paris agreement has been coming back in 2025 on disagreement. if it goes through, they'll come back next year and every year thereafter. but it's also brought into sharp focus, the divisions, which is why there's such a delay here at chief. one of those is the issue of loss and damage, which is compensation given to countries in the teeth of the climate crisis. it getting affected for damage. items that they did little to cause. and that's been put forth by the g $77.00, a group of nations plus china. and they put forward this kind of mechanism, this facility for compensation, for developing countries to be paid for such damage. but that was just written out of the text. it was lost in damage, you might say, and they are furious about this. you have said that they will fight as to the mail . so we'll see how that develops or let's get more of an idea of the state of play at my colleague andrew simmons has a guest with him,
6:17 pm
who batsmen shed more light on where we're at right now. yes, thanks, nick. we're in a situation now as you say, with that her meeting in for meeting taking place several hours late, or but i'm gonna speak now to to kat kramer who is the deputy lead on climate for christian aid at kat. what's the overview here? if everything was to go through as it is now, which might be unlikely, how would you say this cop? some it will be remembered as a success will failure. it gets difficult to paint it that black and white. i think it can be seen as an incremental success. it has made some progress on a number of issues, but it's not the high level of progress that we need to see with it clear with all the science that's been coming out. we just had the i p c. c report about a few months ago. it should have been a fire and in the bellies. it opens elegance coming here to come together and solve this problem. but we just haven't seen that kind of commitment to really making the
6:18 pm
step changes that we need across the board. jake is fair to say that people looking at this, people worried about their children, wrote about the grandchildren what they be quite startled by the the mere fact for example that, that the, on the indices least these annual commitments. countries make that under the paras agreement, they only have to do that every 5 years is taken a massive amount of force to get to do it next year. and right now there is no difference in what they're actually quoting so, so do you think that you could forgive people for being pretty taken, but by this lack of inertia we're, we're definitely seeing a lot of the nation. it is quite the scary. i mean the levels, the pledges that are on the table don't add up to anything like what we need at the science is really clear that we need to try to limit woman to 1.5 degrees. we're already on $1.00 and the pledges taking us over to degrees, most likely we need is so much more commitment so much or action, so much more political leadership and that's what's really lacking here. what about
6:19 pm
the issues of, of, of, of loss and damage of these are areas that was been quite a big fall out of it's one of the areas that's really causing controversy at the moment. i mean, this is mary that the small i and states because it said about as an existential threat for many, many years. and you can kind of see the issues on the continuum from cutting emissions to adapting to the impacts that come to that being impacts that you just can't adapt to. and that's lawson damage. and so one of the big things that at this conference has been a really strong coal as missing more and more climate impacts, affecting more more people's lives, livelihoods, causing devastation and for many, many communities. but there's no money on the table to help rebuild, and that's really at the core of what's going on. and the real failure of leadership by the developed countries to you since then there was a real division here, a real, a really caught a hurtful shocking sort of situation between the pool on the rich states. i think that's very fair to say. yes. i mean, what we came into this cult was
6:20 pm
a statement from the developed countries that they were going to fail to deliver on the promise that they chose to make 12 years ago to deliver a 100000000000 in climate finance to developing countries. and the fact that they, even without much notice, weren't, weren't able to pull that money together, make it happen. and the re, that's the headline figure to worth. there were so many loans being given rather than grants. the countries are becoming born, born debtors. it's not the climate finance that they need. they need to be provided with the finance to actually develop cleanly to adapt to these climate impacts, but also to help their people when the impacts happen and so severe that they really need to build back. what would you like to see it? what would have been achievable other than what we've got on the table right now? well, i think what's achievable as of what we got on the table is what you can achieve in a consensus based system. i mean, i think it's been interesting to see some the signals coming from groups of parties outside this process sunday quite from signals to markets about me when finance for
6:21 pm
coal, about finance for oil and gas, you know, and his me fossil fuel finance overseas them. they are problematic, there's no way that you can prove where the countries are actually fulfilling those promises. but the signals they send to markets really important. but what we're having here is a lot of the same old arguments, some incremental progress forward, but we're not seeing is people. countries coming forward with ambition that keeps 1.5 in reach with the finance of naples developing countries to do what they need to do to survive as great care kramer. thank you very much for your insight, sharing it with us. thank you very much. and it okay, back to unit, come with that plan reset. wow. i do. yes. thanks very much indeed. i interesting. see what goes on behind the scenes that you can see with the demonstration loss of and yoga is here. the whole discussion as a courtesy discussion go to try to plan or you can see is it a red line must be laid out this day demonstration about that issue of loss and
6:22 pm
damage, which of course is critical here. people very, very angry about it and know the course of the last 2 weeks. we look at all the countries in the teeth of the climate crisis. and right now we're going to go to burgundy in east africa, which suffers impacts from soil last deforestation. and all of this just makes climb to sauces a whole lot. worse is catherine sor bruce, these landscape is majestic with nearly $3000.00 hills home to communities organized around which hill. but these beautiful terrain is threatened by years of over you soil erosion, deforestation, as well as the facts of climate change. torrential rains, floods, landslides and droughts have become frequent. i want to see what you think going on . what almost near bender tells us how he's village was washed away by a landslide. last year were not were you or his wife and 5 children, while among the $28.00 people who were killed, awkward matter fardy,
6:23 pm
they would have found us in the house and it was only do full up to the bed level. that's when i told my family we flee to us if a police some of those who died in that landslide, including thomas near bend his wife and children, are buried here. others are still missing by despite the obvious threats posed by the degradation of lund, manuel bulls who talk to he has say, they cannot stop cutting down of trees for charcoal, because a livelihood depends on it. but days, an alternative many kilometers from the village. a local organization is making b cats from coffee and price husks and other domestic waste to be used in place of firewood and chuckle. those who run this project say they want to go national, to prevent an environmental crisis in a country that is losing thousands of actors of forest cover every year. we don't only sin, we also tell them why they need to use our products to reduce deforestation and all that comes with it. so they receive it positively when they are,
6:24 pm
they will 1st sensitize will they know why they use this. so they know they are contributing to the development of the country. the united nation says land in nothin boon is severely degraded. deforestation in the south, alarming the west along the forest. that region that can hardly sustain a great cultural production. the central part of the country is seeing the disappearance of its wetlands. environmentalists are worried for the security. my 5th, we are seeing food insecurity caused by destruction of farms as the radiated cider ocean. all these causing loss of agriculture production, especially in rural areas. back of the factory, they say they're playing their part in keeping the environment safe. and if they can save even a few 1000 trees from being cut down every year. that's a good start. katherine saw aldi's era, broody well back in the conference. so with that question,
6:25 pm
sir, pretty for the countries views of the full text, i will see what happens after this. in theory, they go away for more discussions, and then as a say, there'll be another big plenary. alex sharma would like to see butler, which being the time at which he calls his cult conference to reclose, we'll say we will indeed see, and we'll check in with you as soon as there's some movements there in glasgow. nicholas, thank you very much for the moments. asco was in india's capital, were closed from monday for a week, as the city deals with a blanket of talk, 6 small government employees in new delhi will also have to work from home. the city central pollution board says the air quality index exceeds hazardous levels, vehicle exhaust industry, agriculture and fuel burning all some of the major contributors to the air pollution. burning pool in our city is today is one of the key reason for local air pollution. it is also one of the biggest problems when it comes to
6:26 pm
climate change. so shifting from coal to st guess, which is an internal fuel or electricity which comes out of clean gold based plants or better still, renewable energy are far plants would be the way ahead. because blooming call it inefficient combustion chambers is what is killing our lunch today. i'm actually making us lot more. it's adding to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. al jazeera is pam, the metal is in new delhi with more. the air pollution levels in delhi remain dangerously high for over a week. now the city has been waking up to take small visibility has been low and the situation gets so bad that there are times in the day you can actually taste the pollution. now, after the supreme court, a pass in order, the deli government has announced some new emergency measures to control the situation. so schools for the next one week will hold all classes online.
6:27 pm
government officials have been asked to work from home for the next few days and construction, which is one of the big polluters in the city has been banned for the next one week . the government is also considering putting jelly on it to day locked down to bring down the pollution levels. now the city is one of the most polluted in the world and remain so for the entire year. but the situation get especially bad during this time of year, and the reasons are, you know, the onset of winter. there's also the rise in farm fire and stubble burning in neighboring states. and that contributes to a large proportion of all the pollution that we're seeing over here in the city. and finally, there is the practice of bursting. 2 fire crackers around devali now devali was last week and the government did ban all fire crackers but was not able to fully implemented. there were violators and the day after the volley deli walk up to one
6:28 pm
of its highest pollution levels this season. now environmentalists have criticized the government's approach to controlling the situation. they've said that the approach is peace mean and reactionary, and have asked the government to come up with long term systemic solutions to what is in long term systemic problem. a young syrian man's body has been found in poland near the border with bella, ross, polish, police have not been able to determine the cause of his death. thousands of refugees and migrant. they're stuck on the border. they caught in the middle of a political stand off, which shows no signs of ending i sat bakery for some the polish side of the border . 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 a bellowed lucien. god. what asked men haley. she needs, some families have been given the basics, diapers, medicine,
6:29 pm
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. we're, we're one of poland, most famous actresses, has joined activists to call on the government to allow people to help me ago she came across 3 people that had made it through the boarding to poland, but they'd been targeting for women, her husband and her dear friend were bitten, really frightened, they were scary. they asked about her on the road. some people i talked to them, stolen them money, or my bias, everything a he was bitten by. i some natal thing on his head. so he was taken to the hospital and exclusions own means that there's no way of knowing what exactly polish forces are doing to keep people out of the country. on the country roads near the border, soldiers, guns in hand,
6:30 pm
have set up checkpoints. vehicles are being stopped searched and some people's documents are being checked. but even with this massive presence along the border, poland knows that some people will manage to get through. soldiers here have told us that if we the media were able to see what they're doing, than they wouldn't be able to do their jobs. but desperate people still remain stuck in the forest between 2 groups of soldiers as had beg. i'll da 0, poland and al jazeera correspondent, amine del gammy, has more from the bella, rushing side of the border felucca. the other thought. com yoman by the situation is dire. and exacerbating day after day, as the winter coat gets fiercer in this dense forest border area, or what adds insult to injury is that no political solution is looming. soon as you see behind known, the immigrants have said some kind of a camp to stay together under these hush conditions. there is a sharp shortage of food.
