12:05 pm
country contributed to the anger, among some people massively, because you're calling site. and when he took control in turn on the 25th of july, he was making promises, you know, he was almost promising that very quickly they sold all the nations problems. oh, how people read it. unfortunately, we've seen absolutely no change or you know, for the batter whatsoever. in fact, inflation has gone up since the site itself cool ac on the 25th of july, we've actually seen prices go up. you know, people are getting hungry and recent report said that 50 percent of the nation is only thing in poverty. we've seen the process in gab down in the governor because local government is not picking up the trash but not managing waste. and people is saying that they're literally drowning and pollution down the they people
12:06 pm
have had that patients res. i need to be dashed strangely. a lot of the people protesting actually by voted initially a kai side in 2019 and they feel absolutely disappointed. so in the absence of a political roadmap going forward, what do you think they care? i, i think is what state is the civil piece. unfortunately, site is taking very much a security approach. it's the same old way of doing things. if there's a problem, sometimes the police, so we will be seeing a protest. i don't think this is going away. i don't think anybody at the moment has a genuine solution. lots of people are talking about a national dialogue, but the same time, but talking about excluding this party or that organization. so there's no sense of
12:07 pm
consensus about how to move forward in a peaceful and productive way. all right, elizabeth, when we thank you so much for speaking to us from tuners, and that is a live picture once again from the capital were. some protesters are back out on the streets, trying to pressure the president to restore the constitution according to them and returned to parliamentary democracy. ah, me now after 2 weeks of intense negotiations, a deal has been reached at the cop 26 climate conference. but many countries were angered by the watered down statement that coal to phase down the use of coal, rather than phasing out its use delegates from bangladesh called it an absolute failure or environment editor and clark reports from glasgow. objections it is so decided the end of the road after 2 weeks and helped us to look
12:08 pm
for the dreaming intensity. ma'am, just say to all delegates, i apologize for the way this process has unfolded. and i'm deeply sorry. i also understand the deep disappointment but i think as you have noted, it's also vital that we protect this package. hold red, no planet b. this was effectively an emergency meeting for all world to keep 1.5 alive. did it deliver what just been gabble 3 is literally a betrayal of people, but it's a little betrayal of the sciences. betrayal of the reality of the climate impacts are happening and devastating people's lives and livelihoods. the only people celebrating this outcome of the hundreds of lobbyists from the oil and gas industry . those whose vested interest basically say, you know,
12:09 pm
we can't see any change. we can't move away from the fossil fuel addiction of our economy. the glasgow climate pact was nearly derailed at the last minute is india, south africa, and china demanded last minute amendments wanting the wording on coal to be changed to phase down. instead of phase out. this 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 and the pressure of 2 weeks of negotiations finally told on the court president, i looked sharma away from the nitty gritty of negotiations. a raft of big announcements were made, hoping to shape the outcome of cop 26 on forests more than 100 countries pledged to end and reverse deforestation by 2030 bank. rolling $19000000000.00 to do it.

12:11 pm
crazy fossil fuels and climate finance were both major stumbling blocks, the consensus, negotiations themselves, and the bid to get countries to up their commitments every year as opposed to every 5 years. and so the process that began with paris agreement in 2015 continues. but the urgency for action grows with each passing day. the next year in climate conference will be held and sharma shay collegiate in a year. in the meantime, will the pledges be honored? will the promises be kept? will country's return with greater ambition? because one thing is certain time is running out. nicholas i'll de 0. glasgow al jazeera has condemned in the strongest terms, the actions of sedans, military after it arrested the networks, cartoons bureau chief and was selling me and combat. she was taken into custody after a security forces rated his home al jazeera,
