time we did not have our most effective means against the virus. the vaccine. yes is the door of your missing. now the vaccine is here. all we have to do is grab it, grab it fast. i beg you join in and try to convince relatives in friends to one if we stand together. if we think about protecting ourselves and caring for others, we can save our country a lot this winter has. ah, hello, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. governments have reached a deal attempting to limit the effects of climate change at the top $26.00 summit and glasgow. the deal follows a 2 weeks of negotiations, but many countries say it doesn't go far enough. one major sticking point is cole, which is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the, pushed for a last minute change to soften the language from phasing it out to phasing it down . that brought anger from small island states. this commitment on hall had been

a bright spot in this package. it was one of the things we were hoping to carry out of here and back home with pride. and it hurts deeply to see that bright spot dim. we accept this change with the greatest reluctance we do so only and i really wanna stress only because there are critical elements of this package that people in my country need as a lifeline for their future. so don's health ministry says at least 5 people have been killed that during mass rallies against last month's military takeover. dr. say they were killed by security forces, but the police deny using live ammunition. demonstrators are angry after the head of the army, general abdel fat albert had formed a new ruling sovereign council. they want a civilian government. russia's president is denying any involvement in the board

of standoff between belarus and poland. western nations are choosing bella bruce of encouraging migrants and refugees to cross the border into the e. u and poland. and the new york times is reporting that the u. s. military covered up air strikes in syria that killed up to 64 civilians. the newspaper says it happened near the town of burgers in 2019, during the fight against iso, the department of defense, as it confirmed for civilian deaths and 16 i sold fighters. police have used tig asked to break up protests in democratic republic of congo, thousands their mounts against the appointment of a new electoral commissioner, which church leaders and lights group say was illegal. demonstrators believe that president felix just acadie is a tightening his grip on power. while those are the headlines, i'll have an update for you here on al jazeera, after at fault lines, to stay with us. for tens of thousands of children were born into or lived under the i school regime and iraq and syria. now,

many are in camps. you the orphans all with that, we don't, mothers, rejected by their own communities. she could be like, people are going well from the mouth about, of course, mom. and you documentary, his, that chilling and traumatic stories for the children throw stones at iraq's last generation on al jazeera. ah, we have no more time to wait. where on fire were covered in a blanket of smoke? the whole west is in drought. 2021. in the summer of record breaking hayton extreme drought across the american west. this is laura dodger i field looks like in oregon's claim with basin builds are running dry because the federal government has shut off water to farmers. most years. farmers here used the water and upper

klamath lake to irrigate their crops. that lake exist so that all this land out here could have water. without water, ours. we should pray for rain. we need water. these farmers won't be able to stay here if they can't get water. you alone are the lord. if you give life to every day and the driver saying with all their water, it is all about them having the power over us. and that powers water. the government is withholding water from farmers to protect endangered fish that are sacred to native american tribes. here these fisher mode, the 1000000 species of plants and animals. the climate change is striving to extinction worldwide be destroyed their habitat for agriculture, for irrigation, for colonization,

for profit. that is one, the last of a dying breed. higher creation story tells us that if the fish die, the people die. but before that happens, we will fight because it's in our blood stills like war, this world that we're living in now. oh, on this episode, all minds, climate change and supplies, one of the fiercest, one on wars in the west. and pushes an organ town to which breaking point. oh no upper claim. it's like the heart of the struggled over water and organs. klamath basin for thousands of years. the lake teen which sucker fish that

sustained the climate tribes. vast woodland acted as a filter for the water. then, in less than a 150 years, agriculture pushed the fish to the brink of extinction. as farmers trained the woodlands to grow potatoes for potato chips and hay for dairy cows. now deprived of his filter, the water turns toxic every year. and want to see the the impact firsthand with my eyes. i want to see what it is we're fighting for. this is the 1st time i'll be able to see it face to face. how many of those fisher left on all told round $24000.00 and no babies to replace them?

no, no driven every year, the cloud, blue green algae clutch the water in the lake, state health authorities weren't people and their pets to keep out with nowhere else to go young, succor fish die in mass before reaching adulthood. defer you are to have your dog drink that it would become incredibly ill if not till this year. because of the extreme drought, extracting water farms could put the remaining fish at risk. there is very much a correlation between the quality of this water and the mortality of this fish. and the quality of this water is a direct result of irresponsible agricultural practices. one view of this is that what's happening here is a preview of what's to come because a climate change. does that resonate with you?

absolutely resonates. we obliterated ecosystems to create agriculture and irrigation. it's always extraction, extraction extraction, profit at the expense of our interchange. people at the expense of our tribes at the expense of what little resources we have left. ah, 1st is the west usa, 17 state where water is well. the richness crisis go back to the early 19 hundreds, when the federal government trained lakes duck canals in re routed rivers to deliver water to farmers. the irrigation projects were part of the governments pushed to encourage white settlers to move west. mm. later, the climate tribes lost their land to a federal policy known as termination that was here since termination.

when i terminated the tribe indian land were broke up and sold. we occupied it just like the romans did. the strong were strong back away. it's been since time get the strong take it away from the way they always have our people have survived genocide, murder, disease, and war with survived federal termination. but one thing we did retain was our right to hunt fish trap and gather on these lands in a treaty, the federal government promised the claim of tribes that they would always be able to fish. the fishing piece of that implies that there will be fish for them to fish

. so that's the 1st promise that the u. s. government. and then the us government handed out a bunch of homes. so bunch of white settlers and the promise seemed to be you can have this water forever. and there were a lot of promises made that cannot all be filled in recent decades. the ports of affirm that the government must honor the clam and tribes treated before it feels its promises to farmers because the climate tribes were here 1st, there was ready to proceed. everybody else. so even if you have a piece of paper from the federal government that says you can have water every year. if there's not enough water to go around the climate tried to come 1st. we build the claim with your occasional project in the early 20th century. like we did most of these big water projects in the west, and there was an assumption that the hydrology and the early 20th century would persist until the end of time. that was faulty assumptions. here we are in 2021 and

a 100 ology change, global warming. we're in the midst of it. and there's not as much water to go around. i think of my god, when i see it. i was my dad's little fishing buddy. ah. when you are hass native path and not native, there's a bit of learning and trying to figure out what what exactly am i where do i fit in my mom married my dad at the disgust disapproval of her parents. my grandparents. ah, they were just not happy. she married a klamath indian. that is one source of tension. addison may be

why i am the way i am. oh, i moved away 2 days after high school graduation. i never wanted to come back. she went away to college just right out of high school and lived away for quite a few years. after coming back and after living in a more open diverse community. it was a shock when she came to class basin. i came back in 2016. it was uncomfortable hearing this repeated sense of entitlement from 5th generation farmer, 6 generation farmers that their grandfathers told them that there would always always be water at the time. i remember thinking, well, there's the problem, your grandfather's told you there would always be water. but my dad was telling me

we gotta for least fish back because there's not enough ah, was the federal government who wanted all of us people to come down here and farm as nearly reclaim land. so my family did came down here. we've invested our whole entire life for 4 generations in the making this based on what it is today. of now, the tables turn in the same federal government to told my family to come here. a 115 years ago is now telling me to get the hell out of here or forcing me for a better term to get the hell out of here. a i feel betrayed without access to water from upper claim, like some farmers in the basement, or pumping water from underground the water. this in the canals coming from a well your neighbors. well, yes sir. this is just out again that that was hard to let anybody else here again with his water basically.

yeah, well, i guys, i mean, my family's been here for, you know, 117 years 15 years. i feel like what i was born do i've, i feel like i do a good job at it and i've got everybody in the entire world against me. and that's not a good feeling. oh, i rodney machine did not kick anybody off any piece the ground for his own benefit . i wasn't the one that was in here. physically, kellen, i'm and moving him and taking them off their land. the fish is the only way the tribe can get retribution on the white man. 20 years ago was the same story in the car. there's 5000 more, a main street in 2001 another severe drought threatening the fish with the

government shuttle. the water, thousands of farmers pack the streets of clam falls symbolically moving water into the irrigation canals. we will pass it to with son john and van to his grandson game. they called it the bucket brigade general. i was in 7th grade. everybody was there. we were united as tensions rose, members of the claim of tribes based harassment in town. under pressure, federal officials turned the water back on later that summer. federal government came and gave us our water at the victory for farmers was a disaster downstream. 34000 sam and washed a short dead taking water from the lake during a severe drought had unleashed an epidemic a fish disease. it devastated the york tribe,

which has subsisted on sabbath for thousands of years. i remember smell just the smell of genocide as so i'm best way to describe it because he's now so much death in these places that offer nothing but by giving opportunities to day the tribe estimates at less than 5 percent of the salmon run remains. oh, despite the fishkill market protesters memorialized their success, $1001.00 to be installed and metal bucket under the county building farmers and it stayed on display for 13 years. a powerful symbol of farmers defiance in message that this bucket sent was klamath supports the former. ah, i use the bucket brigade is that typically that bucket is all erased this morning.

it ah, this summer when the government shut off water to farmers. the bucket reappeared in town last week is 40 by 80 canvas, 10 popped up out of nowhere. a group of farmers and our right activist made national news when they set a camp next to the head gates the irrigation canal and threatened to take the water by force or gotta stand up and take it or not i or i water here. yeah. dallas, dan nielsen, very good neighbor. very good. brand the communities. happy to have him because without him there wouldn't been a lot of stories of this year. they parked the bucket next to their tip. like climb that. the bucket right here behind me is racist. white people are racist of your christian erasers. if you believe in the constitution, your races how serious it

is, it getting here, we are literally to the point that people are gonna start shooting each other before this is all send and i am concerned for myself in my safety. i've had people come up to me and say, you're the chairman, the better watch your back. i can actually say i have a hand gun now that i never had before. ah. the climate tribes said this hostility goes beyond protest like the bucket brigade, they say it's baked into the way farmers and ranchers manage their land and that some refused to make human small changes the could save the fish. just despite the tribes, leroy gingrich family has wrenched these 280 acres for the better part of the

century. ah. but although oregon law requires that he keep his cattle from contaminating the lake, he refuses to put up fences. they complain that the cows are contaminated, the like that fair complaint. his 1st this is from the oregon department of agriculture because one indian complaint i dwan big bare your friends when i can't see through i enjoy my view. i've had that view all my life. i enjoy it. now, right. this is mine or my favorite spot. here was in indian bar. ringo right up there. before little trail

trailed, men walked by union many a year. now if you look right up on the top of this rocker, i go here goofy an old indian bull there for keynote man. you get to really look and ah, my not work with them. you know, have you ever tried to work with the gimme of what the, what a gimme. gimme. gimme. gimme gimme. that's like working with the tribe gimme gimme, gimme gimme. they don't give you. gimme gimme, gimme gimme ah . the cause of colonialism that brought those forwards here. the 1st place,

how big of a stumbling block is that to moving forward? i would say it's more than a stumbling block. i would say it is the root of the entire problem. sort of set where mindset that way people one and they should be able to run the place as they see fit. the beating heart of the whole problem in may 2020, as black lives matter, protests spread across the country. demonstrators gathered in downtown klamath falls and a few 100 people. counter protesters armed themselves against friends, neighbors, parents, children, teachers, students who were armed only with posters. there was a face off on main street, a few more yelling at us, go back home,

but when you tell that to an indigenous person, where are we supposed to go? this is just a tiny bit of the hatred and disdain. he thought to our tribal members on out from that horrible device of incident, our city council form the equity task force a several of us contact the city council. what are you going to do about this? what can we do? and so that's how i ended up on the task force. we retained our right to hunt and fish happened and failure to do that is an act of racism and act of white supremacy. and i can say that to you guys, but you could say more

than a year after the protest, the racial equity task force is preparing to deliver its final report to the city council. this blue is the color of peace, but it's also represents water than silver. of course, this are healthy fish in our healthy, peaceful, rivers, and green. it represents our agricultural industry here. the i've lived here in this community almost 70 years, and i have here and i've been in the background and i haven't ever realized so fearful i am to live in this community. my home where you're doing in the navy woman, you are doing things that i always wanted to do. this helps me put myself out there

in through you with you. besides you ah, with you look, work, dad, to me. i see a lot of dentistry. i was really nervous that because the task force agreed to take on confronting racism against the tribe. i was concerned that we were in danger. yeah. i knew that would be our position. i knew that there would be unhappy people. so what we're here to day to talk about is the equity task force is final report.

next i will be introducing joey gentry, who's a member of the equity task force, who will be speaking on the water issue in climate thank you. thank you again for being here. klamath has a history of racism that continues to be handed down from generation to generation . our water crisis still exists today because of racism against the tribe and racism against the tribe exists in part today because of our water crisis. i'm just going to read some community sentiment in words and indians. could it get any worse? this is a cowboys and indians fight to bad. we didn't finish the job the 1st time. we are asking you to issue a formal proclamation, acknowledging that a long history of anti indigenous racism has worse and disagreements over water. how i knew i was a native how i knew i was climate indian is because i fished with my dad.

we're just asking for our fish to be preserved to prevent them from going extinct the following month, the city council disbanded the task force without acting on his recommendations. ah, louis our creation story tells us that if the fest die the people die. so we have to hear the message that our fish are telling me and, and if it doesn't rain, people are going to go to the kitchen or no water going to come out of the tap is

happening. gracious god, we are grateful that we can come together as your people and lift up things that are on our hearts to you, the living god listens to our prayers. who encourages us to have massive wildfires, mass of hurricanes. and there's about to be water shut off on big scale, existential crisis that we best solve. i don't know how we fix it, but i know that coming to terms with that history and it's a problem, is step lawn. ah, for this turn i almost camp here. unlike

in 2001, widespread support, but the farmer's protest never materialized. the summer. they packed up and left, 2 days after the racial equity task force presented to fort worth, travel quickly that the bucket was going. oh, they're gone, gone. the buckets gone till they're good. how awesome is that a good day. i hope this distraction is gone. i guess that we're doing some work,

i guess that it's starting to make a difference. so now the real work begins. a community decimated by cancer fights for the truth. who in this room has cancer, or knows that someone that lives here that has cancer fault lines exposes houston's cancer cluster? these are the 110 properties that have grown contamination underneath. they looked at it is what paul blair community to say from. do you feel that i'm bell full lines on al jazeera. ah,

knowledge is here. with me. oh . hello there, i'm this tells you, hey, and dough at the top stories here on al jazeera. now governance have reached a deal which attempts to limit the effects of climate change at the top $26.00 summit and glasgow. the deal follows 2 weeks of negotiations, but many countries say it doesn't go far enough. one of the major sticking points is cole, which is the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions. india pushed for a last minute change to soften the language from phasing it out to phasing it down this port anger from small island states. this commitment on hall had been a bright spot in this package.
