7:20 pm
exactly. what my question was to day. i appreciate that they're bringing loss and damage and climate finance and various things that have been on the agenda off the developing countries who are negotiating every year. the same issues again and again, we're talking about the problems we are identifying them, but we're moving at a glacial phase. our glaciers are melting and pakistan much faster than we are talking to words movement. and really there's very little time left. we have said to them that all actions, all ambitions have to be matched with actions, and those actions have to be operationalized by club $27.00. if everything is not on the table and on the agenda, then are we are going to assume that are humanities willing to stand by and watch the planet become livable and the, the fires ridge further,
7:21 pm
the waters dry up. the wilson's acidify, the heat up and down countries like us with the largest sto, do you know, the largest glaciers outside the polar region. we've had. 2 17 glacial look, lake outburst events, which means instant flooding. right now, we're in the middle of torrential floods. so we're at the ground 0. we lose 9 percent. 9 point one percent of our g d b to climate losses. and we're really, we are less than one percent off the global emissions recall for much less. so we're looking now not just to do an equal transition, but we're looking at bridging the fault lines between the global south and north. while. 2 reasons are found to continue with the missions here. ah, we are pressed to share the burden. we are happy to do so we're happy to of feature mitigation on our agenda, but it's 50 degrees at home. it is not for, it became 50,
7:22 pm
it was the hottest place in the, on the planet for 3 years. so yeah, my heart bleeds for everybody as for climate refugees, for every once suffering. but it is going to be a crisis of leadership. if action is not deacon and all the pledges the promises, the ambitions on not translated into mechanisms that are realizable, the policy of pakistan's for prime minister emron khan has won the most seats and elections in the country's most. this region. he supports his have been celebrating job results. i mean, prime minister she buries movement because most it's narrow majority in the provincial assembly from ohio that has more from the whole night bit slowly coming back to normal, end up into the capitol of the fun job in the old city the a few weeks ago and didn't political activity, enron, con fargo god drank or take your dad many awards in the bi election,

or that it does or not. it already got 15 of their granted it only for the going to budget on emily now was and one to an independent party. it will be important now to see what happens next because it certainly had implications. but budget don, political future, a, ron kon, of god, has been saying that the country needs an early election and that law and going to die over the phone. the next government government will have the mandate of the people, the opposition party are also going to have a meeting. if god at go committee meeting to get got their way forward. bugger, done it again in the grip of political uncertainty. and it will be important to see whether the government in islam about going to a gauge or bother men, and they agree on our date for new elections. the next few weeks will be critical.
7:24 pm
but one thing is for sure that people of the fun job that bordered in favor of the focused on that it can get them non con sparky, and many other additions and political pundits are now day that this is a huge come back up all my prime minister now ukraine's the president has suspended 2 of his most senior, knowing forestman figures because of hundreds of cases of alleged treason and collaboration with russia. it comes as mosca has around top it's offensive in the south and east with at least 6 people killed him. tourette's official reports from keith told you the biggest shake up and present the landscape leadership team since the start of the war. i didn't of indic tova was the prosecutor general ivan ballot called headed the internal security agency. both have been suspended. president

7:28 pm
all of the shots are fired. the report is adamant that during this time offices that the federal or state level should have taken over control from the school police chief and peter redondo who was supposedly in charge at the school. once we today to redondo has taken much of the blame, but sundays reports this responsibility for the lack of action should be shared by some of the 376 law enforcement officers who had arrived, as well as their superiors at a command level. at a minimum there was multiple opportunities depending on the relative training and experience of law enforcement officers to at least ask more questions or offer their guidance to try to remedy the chaotic situation and make sure there was effective overall command. there was a lack of effective overall command the report also found the school safety protocols fell far short. numerous doors were
