12:20 am
the level of deforestation during the 1st 3 months of this year. set a new record that's according to data from the brazilian government, as the spike, a dip in activity during march, 941 square kilometers of the amazon were destroyed, that 64 percent more than the same period last year was largest reinforces homes, about 3000000 species of plants and animals, and 1000000 indigenous people. it's also a vital carbon store that slows down the pace of global warming. want to kind of join us not alive from rio de janeiro and want to good to have you with us would tell us why this is especially worrisome. huh. well, because as you were saying this is the rainy season right now. and during the rainy season, laveries aren't cutting down trees because they're where they can't dry. so farmers don't burn the the wood to clear the land to so there should be, ah,
12:21 am
less activity there should be less deforestation. and what we have seen is that it's increasing compared to previous years. it's the biggest increase in deforestation since 2015 when the system of measuring this through satellites in real time was implemented in brazil. a want to spin, re at what's been the reaction to these new figures, if, if any will, at this very moment the representatives of over 100 indigenous tribes will turn the capital. brazilian there protesting to make sure that congress will not approve bills which have been pushed by the government to make it easier to our exploit, the amazon forest commercially. and our president is able sonata was trying to get this done before he tries runs for reelection in october, mike again to camp they're joining us live from rio de janeiro,
12:22 am
monica. thank you. i'm now joined by rounding away charlotte, professor of environmental management at the federal university of mine, is she race? he's in belo harris zante in brazil, a very warm welcome to the program ronay. just listening to our corresponds in there. i am talking about these figures and the impacts of them having you read the situation. i think i believe is the question is quite dire because during this time of the year there's usually more rain. and so different stations tend to start slow over the. the fact that we already have a record high and actually numbers that are usually to be expected media when it's dryer, and it also user to access the forest and to actually do some damage, isn't worrying. how much has the deforestation, the 20 percent of deforestation overall? there's been how much is it changing the reality on the ground, the way that the environment is and behave well,
12:23 am
right now we have about 80 percent of the forest spending, which might look a lot. but if you look at the picture at the movie, actually we have been losing the forest at the speed rate and together with climate change and the impact is substantial. so right now, not only the air is directly affected by human activities, but even in the areas far away from the culture. from here, we're starting to see the progress drain up and also become more prone to fires. and it is very concerned because it indicates that we might be getting closer to a point whereby the demonstrative force might become reversible and we'll need that . my question was, my next question was going to be, how close are we to that tipping point? and how do we know when we've reached a point of no return? why it started difficult to measure that also because you might have a via year together, you know, and then lose them over carbon and also be more prone to fires. and this kind of dryer environment is also one of the aspects of the tipping point. when it goes
12:24 am
beyond that, you restart more strongly. a process just looks like a cell phone is ation process. so rather than having more human progress to have a dry forest, also a forest which small fragile, and these are really happening in the salt bars of the forest. for instance, we have last about a month of rainfall, solving parts of the forest. it's actually quite a lot to raise the quite a lot of damage in relation to cultural per prediction there. and so it's, it's difficult to measure how close we are, but it definitely too close for comfort and lonely walk can be done by the brazilian authorities. and i suppose more importantly, what will is there for things to be different? while at the federal level, there is that there is a strong will actually to do last and that's very concern. you can look at what happens, especially the last 3 to 4 years. it's possible to see and explicit dismantling offloading for spent with very low budgets, and also changes in the regulation,
12:25 am
which basically makes us impossible for once to be to be punished. and so, and also there was a very strong public discourse in a sense depicting environmental criminals as they were heroes. and they are hearing that on the ground. and of course, they feel supported by the current that demonstration at the federal level. we see some movement coming from are state governments and also from the markets and that's positive, but definitely is, has not been able to offset this big push towards deforestation as we have seen today. while they're joining me. i'm from been a horizontal. thank you very much. give. when 4000 residents have been ordered to leave their homes in australia's most populous city is rising rivers, burst their banks. for some people in sidney. this is the 2nd evacuation in just a matter of weeks after an intense weather system done more than a months worth of rainfall over a few hours. as drill is east coast has been hammered by 3 separate weather patterns in the past. 6 weeks. still had this news hour,

get to do a me have is the cap. she'll itself operates because obviously there's a, an astronaut on board. but how does the old work like, what responsibilities do they actually have? sure, so the dragon, for the most part, is autonomous. it's controlled by mission control at space x in hawthorne. and then they do have several different um systems that they kind of monitor as um the flight is progressing. i know that there is um, the capability where they can manually pilot the craft if they need to. so so it's a lot of monitoring systems and making sure that everything is working appropriately. so that relies heavily on in this case michael lopez allegory a who is the commander of the mission. and he's the former nasa astronaut. so he sort of leading the way one of the big and criticisms of these kind of trips is that it's essentially, you know, which white guys playing at being astronauts but east that
12:41 am
a where the criticism or is there a bigger, more important picture? sure, so i think that this fight is sort of um, different from some of the other commercial flights where you just have a lot of rich people paying for a ride into space because they are doing very valuable research. and they have spent more significant time training that is actually on par with professional astronauts. so the axiom space is planning a nother mission with nasa, and that one is going to be lead by peggy whitson, who is also a retired nasa astronaut. so she will be joined by 3 other passengers who will get to fly. i think sometime next year. so right now it's a lot of rich white men, but it is sort of the 1st step into bringing down the prices so that other people can go in the near future. and he sat with the future of space to him at to as him
12:42 am
as you see it, like just how big could again, how quickly i guess i'm, well, i've seen that a check for blue origin for example, they had recently had a successful fight. so i know that this is their 4th crude mission and they are planning to double that number of launches this year. and as far as axiom goes, when it goes to the space station, it's kind of a little bit more difficult because they have to rotate everything with the professional nasa astronaut who are flying. so i'm the future is that there will be several stations in orbit. so maybe axiom is planning one and then they will have a lot of crude flights to go up there. so researchers more every day people will have a big opportunity to go a 1000000 thompson. they're joining the live from orlando. thank you. thank you. now they've john fans from all over the world for decades. that night, 3 chilean museums commemorating the life or world around poet, pablo,
