undermines the stability of the taiwan straits. so it's only natural that china makes a firm response. her position is very just and reasonable and our actions by the chinese side is very firm and consistent. and we've seen our stand as open professional and according to the international law and international norms, these provocative actions are a significant escalation. we've seen how beijing has attempted to change the status quan taiwan for some time. for example, more than doubling the number of aircraft flown over the center line. it separates china and taiwan over the past 2 years, pursuing economic word, political interference and cyber attacks. against taiwan. now, they've taken dangerous acts to a new level. united states is conveyed to the p r c consistently and repeatedly that we do not seek and will not provoke a crisis. let's bring in florence,

though he now has been covering developments in piano, penn. hello, there, florence, the chinese foreign minister. his anger and condemnation doesn't come as a surprise. what did you take out of his comments? and so right now he is was an unexpected press conference that one ye held it and it comes at the close of ours in lead meetings over the last 2 days. now he was very, very firm in his remarks, not only in defending china's actions in the taiwan straits, but really also criticizing the u. s. his actions saying that what u. s was doing was really essentially meddling in china's internal affairs. now this is a point that we've heard other chinese officials make in the last few days. but china also defending its actions, saying that what it's doing is merely protecting its territorial integrity. and saying that this is what the chinese population expects of the chinese government

in protecting the sovereignty. and he says there is nothing or no one on this earth that can stop the reunification of tie one. now you really seeing both sides of the u. s. in china, not only reiterating their positions for really hardening their stance earlier on friday, we heard and nibbling and say, from china's actions or threat, flagrantly provocative. and he also said that, you know, what china's doing in the taiwan strait is not justified. you said it's a significant escalation, it is disproportionate, and it's extreme to really these 2 countries already starting at very different points and it doesn't seem like they are. i mean, the meetings have ended, they've not held dialogues with each other. they've already said they wouldn't. but we're really clearly seeing that tensions in the taiwan strait or spilling over to events in on him and on that florence as this back and forth between beijing and washington continues. as in members, are trying to navigate what is a fine diplomatic lime for their own sex.

ah, that's right. and in fact, we heard from the cambodian foreign minister and say that asked in his face many challenges since it was formed. but it's never before had to face so many parallels at the same time. is referring not just to the tensions in taiwan strait, but also the war in ukraine. but it really, but they actually really are very concerned about what's happening in the taiwan straits. so concerned that they issued a statement on thursday morning at the start of meetings to say that they were worried that the volatility that could lead to a miscalculation which could perhaps potentially lead to open conflict between major powers. but they were very careful not to take sides. there was no criticism of nancy. nancy pelosi visit to taiwan, and they made it a point to say that we affirm china as one china policy. but awesome leaders have also said they hoped they were hope they had hoped that these meetings can be used as

a platform to facilitate dialogue. but we really have not seen that in the last 2 days in dolton. no, we certainly haven't. thank you very much for the update florence louis line for us in cambodia. let's head to the us now where mike hannah joins us live from washington dc with the lightest reaction there. mike has been swift response from the white house one more. can you tell us well, the white house is sullen, the chinese ambassador here in d. c to the white house, to protest against what they described as china's extreme provocation. he has been the breed by a white house personnel in terms of conveying the u. s's anger at the chinese actions, it particularly over the straits of taiwan. so there has been a quick reaction here to the latest actions by china. but the usaa stated all along that the speakers visit to taiwan in no way reflected any change in us policy. be heard that again from secretary of state,

tony lincoln in cambodia in the course of the morning that us policy remains one, china. it hasn't changed in any way whatsoever. the u. s. that also foreseen these chinese actions in the wake up the speakers that a days ago, we were briefed by the national security council advisor. who said that this is precisely what china was going to do, respond with a show of force. and this is precisely what we've seen in recent hours and days. all right, we appreciate the update. thank you very much, mike. hannah live for us in washington d. c. and china has also responded diplomatically by jing, announced unspecified sanctions on nancy pelosi. it's also suspended climate talks and cancel defense meetings with the u. s. patrick folk has the developments from by jane the following thursday's intense military action taken by china against taiwan, described by chinese state media as a war plan rehearsal. there was always a bit of

a question mark as to just how much further beijing would push the envelope to day . well, it seems as though the canter measures have taken a much more diplomatic form. china has announced that it's sanctioning nancy pelosi . this is a symbolic move, largely, but no doubt, it was partly prompted by some the comments she made in tokyo to day where she hit add in particular, china over its human rights records. that aside of a more serious measures that a less symbolic and more practical, if you like a china has said that it will cancel dialogues between the u. s. and china military leaders. it's also suspending climate talks between the 2 country and suspending us china cooperation on cross border crime prevention and also suspending us china maritime safety mechanism toss in cambodia at that gathering of us in foreign ministers. entity blinkin said that none of this action can be justified and

insisted that the u. s. did not wish to escalate this crisis. meanwhile, china has also summons the japanese ambassador, the canadian shade affairs, as well as e u. diplomats over statements that were issues are expressing concern over china's military actions. that aside, there was another day of military activity. it is expected to be in sense in the days ahead as well. but it does appear as though relations between the us and china and particular have really hit new lows. let's take a closer look. now the tension around taiwan, taipei says several chinese naval boats in aircraft crossed the so called meeting line on friday morning. it's a halfway point from the mainland to taiwan, not recognized by beijing. china has been carrying out live fire drills in these zones around the island type. pay says he won't respond. what he calls provocations . even though the drills overlap with areas,

claims. china has also 5 long range missiles in areas surrounding taiwan. japan has asked pages to stop saying 5 ballistic missiles landed in it's exclusive economic. san diego pollen is the international editor of ty, one plus she says type pay is taking china's military drills seriously. that doesn't want to escalate the dispute towns, governments have sought to reassure the public saying that they are monitoring all activity related to these military drills. they say they have a handle on the situation while china is conducted military exercises before. this is unprecedented in the scale in the sense of how close it is to taiwan. and the fact that it's around the main island of taiwan, the ministry of defense had said that this amounts to a blockade. shipping routes and flight routes have had to be changed. time once president has called these military exercises provocative and irresponsible with

our town, i would like to emphasize that we will not escalate conflicts or provoked disputes, but we will firmly defend our sovereignty and national security. and stick to the line of defense of democracy and freedom. we're committed to maintaining the status quo on both sides of the straight. and i've always been open to constructive dialogue. taiwan will never be knocked down by challenges. i hope all tie when a citizens can unite as one relations between taipei and beijing have deteriorated totally over the past few years. and people here have gotten used to the aggressive language and actions from china with china, saying that they will take taiwan back. why force, if necessary, as beijing considers taiwan as part of its territory? but these military exercises had given a sense of unease. and if any indication of the movie or the number one app download is one that pin points the closest location to you in the capital of air

raid bunkers are shelters there. about $4000.00 such across the city. many of them under building shopping centers or car parks, mainly because people have lived with a specter of war for decades. but i want to make it clear that people here don't think that these military exercises would lead to an invasion where they are concerned about that there could be a miscalculation or a misstep that could lead to conflict me. mild japan has lodged a diplomatic protest with china. it's me sound rules calling the incident unprecedented. that says us housebreaking. nancy pelosi is concluding, had sewer of asia in japan, where she defended her decision to visit taiwan. automating prime minister female sheet pelosi said china won't be allowed to isolate tie one. joseph promised american solidarity with the entire region. thank you my head and he says our including indian essential bank raises interest rates the 3rd time in just 4 months . and a little later in sport with gemma historic day for women's gulf at the open championship

. ah, that had to iraq now where supporters of the she and political lead a motel solder have observed friday prayers in his way inside baghdad, screen sun, his followers have been occupying parliament, which is inside that fortified area. for several days. sarah gave protest his until friday to leave the building, but told them to continue their sitting outside. they are opposed to the nomination of arrival, politician as prime minister. my phone to abdullah head has more from baghdad. some of the worshippers who perform of the most unified friday prayers called for by their leaders. melissa, that of some of them are and returning to their home cities, provinces in central and southern iraq,

the others are joining their to lease in an open sit in there. that has been a sage it for days now in and around and in front of the headquarters of the apartment. now these protests of the preacher to day in the friday prayer has reiterated the demands of the so the supporters are by a confirming that these protests will continue the city until their demands are met . that they want to remove all the corrupt politicians from murder state institutions. of course, they mean the, the rival politicians, the parliamentary odella, the lawmakers with the parliamentary block had pro affiliated with iran are called the coordination framework. now, despite calls for negotiations, was for reconciliation up by local and international institutions, including the latest, the united nations or support. the mission for iraq as the head of the mission met

was a. so the a himself in his hometown, in a measure. and she has been coded her jenny glass hot, the head of the knobby has been coated by iraqi media that the visit was a good. meanwhile, some other politicians on the other side have been stating that the agree with solder suggested that dissolving the parliament and holding early elections as a way out of this. our political dead lock, including the head of god, this framework headed amity, the head of the popular mobilization forces fairly and for yard. but the question now is how yearly elections could be, are conducted and which elections law? because many politicians include the front framework are calling for what a fine or amending the elections law. police in india have detain, dozens of opposition. politicians during

a protest about the rising cost of food and fuel congress party leaders were trying to march on the residences. uh, both the prime minister and the president. they blamed government taxes and major increases in the cost of basic food, like rice and milk plays also detained. hundreds of congress supporters to stop them from joining the protest. still in indiana, the central bank has raised its key lending, ranked by half a percentage point in an effort to curb that spiraling inflation is the 3rd increase in the last 4 months. and economists say it won't be the last is seen a fall in the rupees. value is making fuel food and medicine more expensive. the government says the war in ukraine is partly to blame. had me middle has the details from you jelly. this is the latest effort to come ramp and inflation in india. what? the r b i, the reserve bank of india, which is induct central bank is done. it has increased important lending rates,

which basically means that the cost of borrowing money has gone up. so home loans, person lows, education loan, all of those will now be impacted. inflation in india is at about 7 percent. if you focus on just in food inflation, it's even higher. and i know that has to do with what's happening globally. prices of food have risen internationally. the engine ruby has become more volatile and the ended stock market as well has become more volatile. now the i b, i admit that in the best case scenario, inflation will still be at about 6.7 percent for the rest of the. yeah. so inflation is also a big political issue in india over the last 2 weeks in our position talking have things demanding a debate over price wise and a latest lieu of taxes imposed by the government opposition. parties have also been

filter inside the parliament. as far as the common man, the ordinary citizen is concerned. they are really suffering. we have been covering the issue for many weeks and months now and the mood on the sheet is that income have stagnated. there is rampant unemployment in india, but expensive have gone up and especially basic necessities like food and fuel, have become so expensive. many people aren't able to afford them. at least 13 people have been killed in a fire at nighttime in thailand, placing chambery province phase for the capital, bangkok, 40 other people were injured to fire the mountain b. 9 club started around 1 in the morning. the cause saying, investigative, take his president, reggie type of a one is in the russian city of south chief, had talked with president vladimir persian. he said he hopes to open a different page in ties that to discussing turkeys,

role in the resumption of grain exports from ukraine, ports on the blank say you're also talking trade and energy assigned to sign and agreement to boost economic ties. speaking of those cover ships, 3 more loaded with grain have left ukrainian ports on the black sea that carrying a total of about $58000.00 tons of corn one is headed to island another to the u. k . and the 3rd to turkey. all 3 will be inspected off the coast, the east amble as part of the grain export deal broken by you and in turkey. ukraine's economy minister says the deal should now be extended to cover more than just grain. meanwhile, ukraine, the president has strongly criticized amnesty international after it accused his forces of endangering civilians in a report. the human rights group listed incidents in 19 towns and cities where it says ukrainian troops set up faces in residential areas,

putting civilians at risk. but a lot of means the landscape rejected. the findings accusing amnesty of shifting responsibility from the aggressor to the victim. and the head of amnesty ukraine office at her office disagreed with the report and alleged they were excluded from the discussion. my mobile number, there is no condition even hypothetically under which any russians strike on your crime becomes justified aggression against our state is unprovoked, invasive, and terrorist union. if someone makes a report in which the victim and the aggressor are supposedly equalized in some way . some dates are about, the victim is analyzed, and the aggressive actions at the same time are ignored, then this cannot be tolerated. let's bring in andres, a goal or nea. he's the chairman at the center that event strategies, a formal ukrainian defense minister and an advisor to the government. he joins us on skype from kiev and re,

thanks so much for being on the pro program. this report has obviously drawn strong criticism. what's your reaction? well, it big, so the fact some facts, but the problem is that addiction from the outside of the context. and indeed it's in some of the villages military to the schools and use them for military purposes . what it doesn't say is that none of these schools are working for many months because no schools are working in your brain because of the dangers to the, to the pupil. full schools are closed knowledge cation has been done on online. and so essentially, and also this is close to the front line. so honestly the safety of the villages, this is something completely different because they have been shows every, every day we have showings from rash on a daily basis. so that's why that's why bring them garment. and many observers by saying that this is something like a week to blaming is basically like saying the situation is not black and white but, but there is a degree of ukrainian sort of

a guilt which is obviously strongly denied. yes, it took us through a little bit more about that ukranian you're talking about, you're saying that they are using schools, but not in the way that this report suggests. of course. yeah, well there, unfortunately, there are no schools in ukraine anymore. i'm in there are closed and it won't villages which are close to the front line. they usually destroyed and usually configured the cages because because nobody can guarantee a safety to any one particular children. so government does not take kids to school at all. and also also the, the problem is that government tries to look at people from the frontline areas completely. and the people who are staying there are people who are deliberately disagreed to was of occasion. so they decided to stay understanding that it's a, it's a, it's extremely risky to be in those areas. but we have in the occupied territories, for example, we have about 6000 children who were,

who were deported to russia. and so the safety of the children is, is a prime concern when we're talking about the russians don't have to get to the villages. so defending religious, this is what the military is doing. and so they certainly can be blamed for trying to defend the village andry, the head or members of amnesty international have tried to distance themselves from this investigation and they were moved to even block the publication. and now i believe is a line at the top of the publication, with a caveat on it, is that enough in terms of damage control, how much damage has this report actually done? i don't think it did when you belittle damage. we have enormous amount of observers . we have enormous amount of the, a specialist in ukraine right now, looking at the situation. so as you can see, this is a report which is out like doing something like that. so we have embassies of all countries in your train like tracing what's happening and so on. so we're, we're pretty confident that the world understands what happens in your brain. but

the reason they kind of trying to data to distance themselves is because indeed it's, it's, it's, it's sort of manipulates with the facts by taking them out of the context. so saying that while he has children not going to school, but these are the schools, you know, and then they're trying to portray this is if we are endangering school process or something like that. you know, it's totally totally out of the context. that's the main problem. so what are the ramifications of publishing a report like this? does it have any impact on the ground with everyday ukrainian? no, no, no we, we, we see this in abreast and thank you very much for highlighting that here in and we, it's, it's an old channels right now. so we discussing these, including in some consumer season so on. but generally people, people understand the situation. so people are people supportive to ukrainian resistance efforts, and i don't, i don't see this is a making a huge low it's, it's, it's kind of it,

it's pity that things like that. coming from international organizations, we supposed to be investigating serious issues, like for instance, they never investigated a death of 50 prisoners of war in russia and gamma, which just happened few days ago. they haven't written anything about that. they haven't written about the concentration camps, which are currently in russian, goodbye territory existing for a years. so why the don't look at these was the horrible violations of human rights done by russia. they don't write about much about that, so it's a bit picky to be honest habits like thing i'll we really appreciate your analysis on this issue. thank you so much, andrea. that are all new york, the chairman at the center for defense strategies and a former ukrainian at defense. mister, appreciate you moving on now. and you as president joe biden, $740000000000.00 economic package is one step closer to fruition. after gaining the support of a key democratic senator kristin cinema approved

a revised version of the bill known as the inflation reduction act. much of the money will come from tax reforms including a new 15 percent minimum tax on large corporations. it's also intended to slash health care costs and fight climate change. republicans referred to the bill as attacks and spending spree in the us for people have been critically injured after being struck by lightning in washington, d. c. they were at lafayette park directly outside the white house complex secret service officers witnessed the incident and ran to help or for victim st. life threatening one still in the us and it's the clay, the public health emergency to deal with a monkey pox outbreak. the number of reported cases is said to be doubling every week. this declaration means more money in facilities will be available to fight the virus. but there are concerns. vaccines are running out there more than

$6600.00 monkey pumps, infections in the us. aaron serrano is the director of the elizabeth griffin buyer's safety program at georgetown university. he says they needs a there's a need rather for greater education about the virus. i think one of the big things that we need as a public health community, and as just a general community, is to think about risk communication for exposure. it needs to be clear and it needs to be non stigmatizing. and so while this outbreak began in men who predominantly have sex with men, it could and it spread from there, it could have easily broken down any type of population of individuals. right now it is not time for panic, but it's for education and awareness. so this is a pathogen that we have been able to do research on, we have the vaccines, we do have kind of measures antivirals that are effective. the pros, i, i guess i could say to this virus is that there's

a longer incubation period. so when we identify cases, we can treat them and identify close contacts and vaccinate those individual. so we can actually really contain a spread much more effectively than something like cobra that transmits very, very quickly the kid, the cases themselves are self limiting. so typically people recover within 2 to 4 weeks. and really the, the key here is preventing transmission to more even vulnerable populations, those that are immunocompromised, pregnant women, and to children. and so that the key here is really being able to increase our ability to openly reports and detect cases how point of care testing at health care facilities. and that is going to be a rate limiting step. i think both here in the us and abroad. and being able then to get the proper treatment to those. indeed, the ryan is aging in se, just rally up and not before drenching the countries capital. he's deaf with all

the weather data. it's been soggy for australian capital territory. have one here. the proof by the numbers camber us scooping up $44.00 millimeters of rain over 24 hours. that's a months worth of rain. but another way to put it is, this was the what is august stay in nearly half centuries. so there is a legacy of cloud cover and showers still dancing around this area. but the good news is there is fear. swain's across southern australia have now died down. off to the other side of the tasman. we've got this vigorous weather front sliding across the south island, blanketed in weather alerts for both the rain and wind. so i think worst case scenario, wind gusts up to a 120 kilometers per hour, and about 90 millimeters of brain, se, asia, and let's focus on the philippines. rain is really being stared, steered into the country here. so if we go in for closer local, pick up the story there, especially around manila, we've got some severe fight advisories in play. the dark with the color here,

the more intense the rain is falling. speaking of intense rain over the past 24 hours hong kong has picked up about a 100 millimeters of rain that was a tropical depression and still more rain to go on saturday. and things are slightly drying off across japan, tokyo, it's got a height of $29.00 degrees that's it's susan, plenty more. head on al jazeera, india announces new emissions targets to tackle climate change. actress scorching sama and afghanistan's 20 cricket laid concludes in cargo. we take a closer look at the sport in the contract. ah

ah ah sake then he'd been home and then international anti corruption excellence award. bought now for your hero lou.

the hello what you know do 0 i'm emily ang, when he's a reminder of stories the sound badging foreign minister has defended chinese military drills in the taiwan strait, saying that in line with international law, one eas says the show of my who's made it to maintain china's her oral integrity, the white house has some of the chinese ambassador to protest against those exercises. they will launch this week in response to how big a nancy pelosi to tie one, which china claims as its own. and supporters of, of rocks she, i political later will cut out thought i have held friday present with inside baghdad. greens on his followers have been occupying parliament, which is inside that fortified area. the several dang record high summit temperatures and prolonged dry weather in the u. k of putting enormous strain on farmers,

but the government has stopped short of declaring an official drought, who brennan reports from the county of suffolk. the sandy soil of the suffolk, brooklyn's is perfect for root crops, like potatoes, and carrots and onions, these potatoes, dest, in for one of britain's high and supermarket. the irrigation required, especially on this soil, is on his mind boggling this summer. the youth in a state is using 22000000 gallons of water every week. that's enough to feel more than 40 olympic sized swimming pool. it's unprecedented. i'm an incredibly worried this not only myself, but the number of farmers in certainly in this area in east anglia that haven't seen conditions such as this ever before in there. you know their careers, the danger that people have run out of water to irrigate their crops. israel, this is one of these states to reservoir us. when it's full. it holds 18000000 gallons of water. in practical terms,

it's currently empty. the last 2 centimeters of water to shallow to be pumped out. the head of the u. k. environment agency is warning that the gap between the increased demand for water and the availability of it is closing fast. it's a scenario he's described as the jaws of death and without urgent action. the crossing point at which demand exceeds availability is just 20 years away. july's record heat wave has now abated, but the long term prognosis is alarming. official data projects with by 2050, some of britain's most vulnerable rivers could have up to 80 percent less water, and some temperatures might be more than 7 degrees hotter than now. we know what climate change likely to bring to this country. we also know we've got a growing population, we've got demographic change, we say collectively, resulting in more demand for water. we can put in place mechanisms to manage those pressures the sooner we do it, the easier will be to push those joseph back. but if we don't take action and

definitely coming mechanism such as fitting thousands more domestic water meters and putting water efficiency ratings on household appliances, the national farmers union wants water to be regarded as a u. k. strategic asset. so it might be that there's a lot of waterfalls in the east that has to be pumped into the some of the reservoirs in the, in the west. you know, it's, it's, it's the ability to do so, to think on the light on our fee to move water around to the best effect, to make sure that we've got enough strategic supplies to meet all of our demands as we move forwards. when it comes to the impact of water scarcity, the you case farmers alike the canary in the coal mine when they are as worried as they are now. it's a signal that the whole country needs to be concerned. as grandpa brennan now, who is in suffolk in east in england poll, there's been some developments today with the announcement of the 1st hose. pine ban, meaning normal watering. you got it? that's correct. i mean,

my report there spoke about the pressure and challenges that the farming community are facing, particularly arable farmers. and i'm standing in that reservoir that i mentioned in my report. you can see that if i were standing here, when the, when the threats were, was full, the water surface would be some 9 meters above my head. and instead it's barely 20 centimeters deep. and, but these are now also problems that are impacting household domestic water consumers as well. and today in the southern areas, it's southern water is the company responsible, the areas of hampshire and olive white people there, but 2 and a half 1000000 customers. there are going to be banned from using their host pipes or sprinklers in the garden at from $1600.00 g m t. this afternoon. another company south eastern water will from next friday, a band people in kent and sussex from using host pipes in those areas. so more than a 1000000 people are impacted there, it's important to say that those are really almost sticking plaster solutions to what is

a much deeper structural problem with water supply. it's important also to state that on average rainfall in the u. k has been pretty stable over recent decades. it's averaging nationally at around $1100.00 millimeters a year, but it's unevenly distributed. there is a lot more rain falling in the north and west a lot less in the south and the east. it's falling a lot more during the winter and we're seeing a lot dry at somers. so the challenge that the planners are and those people responsible for long term planning are having to tackle is how to even out that demand, even out that the, the provide the provision or build and invest in more reservoirs and host pipe bands, yet it's short term solutions but it really needs long term solutions to tackle this. indeed, thank you very much for breaking down press po brennan, in eastern england. while the french prime minister has won the country is facing

the most severe drought ever recorded. lisbeth borne has announced the activation of a government crisis unit to respond where the forecast suggests that an extreme heat wave could continue for the next 15 days, possibly making the situation even worse. the crisis unit will coordinate measures such as bringing drinking water to hot hood areas and thousands of people impacted by drought in some of kenya's of dry est regions may be unable to take part in this year's election. up to 4000000 people are struggling to survive, and many have been displaced. they say they feel neglected in the middle of a competitive and expensive general election. catherine, so i reports from garza ado abdulla livelihood depends on livestock, but there is a drought. woodrow after 4 field rainy seasons, millions in ari areas have little to eat and the animals are dying. in a few days,

voters will head to the polls. up d and his neighbors say, they are more focused on staying alive than costing their ballots. i'd, i'd be glad to quote all that absolutely about holiday shouldn't have come to look for votes wherever they have not told us how they will resolve or problems. they just won't vote. life stock was millions of dollars have died since october last year. conflict over resources, boundaries and banded. she are not making things easier, many hard as have left their homes to look for food and water. they have gone to other areas to try and see the animals. but it also means thousands of them may not be able to votes. politicians will wrap their campaigns on saturday. they're promising better living conditions that they're parts of this country where, you know, nobody wants to know about it and then you know what, what goes on in that part of the. and unfortunately, the county governments have also not been very useful because the county governments are of,

of resources to provide her assistance to drought victims. ah, what has happened is that this county, governments have not located enough money at to livestock related activities. these community elders say their issues have not been prioritized i born here in my children a school in here. i dont have a job. my income generation is left so whereas school my daily food is coming from the livestock to see my life. so all has gone. my grandfather died. oh, my children, all of god. so example, i'm asking you if my generation income is left took and has gone wild drive for those vying for political positions in this region,

sure, thank you so much for having me. i'm sir. before i jump into the new target, i just want to sort of put into context what was announced a cop 26 that i missed. and essentially there were 5 targets announced by another 5 announcements. and also the bramlet still had made up the d 6. this included essentially 500 over to non us capacity, 50 percent in stock capacity from renewable energy, reducing 1000000000 to us c o. 2 emissions that the now and he 30 or 45 percent in density, emissions and density reduction or what we've done. i've levels on these 4 targets that beauty by 2030, and had and the grammar set also announced off nancy, the emissions that he 70 on these not the fire exits, are up and jammed. it depends on the recently updated indices in india. do not if you look on a several of the open genders that were announced while the in d. c. updates are definitely a welcome change. these include 50 percent,

non positive capacity by 2030 and 45 percent emissions in designated, actually by 2020 also has all that focused on sustainable lifestyle and sustainable consumption. and so i do think that be mr. not in. there was an opportunity to sort of reiterate, go all men mr. put forth are, but hopefully the domestic actions are along those lines that will help in keeping the vision and hopefully exceeding it. and one of the goals which i found interesting was the am for net 0 emissions by 2070. that's in effectively 50 years . what kind of damage could be done between now and then be honest, i think instead of focusing on the 2070 target there, for instance, 2070 is us part ahead in the future as almost to at 970 is in the past from us right. now,

what i think needs to be done more crucially is asher in this sticky. and that is what is going to sort of status on the otway to was the key being honest. see you by 2070 or even sooner than the prime minister announcement. seattle, bull, he said 2070 or even sooner. it's not only a fire dog in the beach the sooner and moderate. i mean india as we've been reportings already dealing with spiraling inflation. and then we've had stories about floods and, and hate waves. how would these targets be viewed by everyday indians? i think we need to sort of a separate out in the us international commitments was, as it's domestic actions on the dogs that have been announced, the updates that have been announced do full shot of the prime ministers mission that article. they did it at $1226.00, as then as do not necessarily for the extent of action,

but eating lease or in all sectors, particularly to do both in india domestically and also announcement nationally since 2019 india does have to go with that as well as he is in place that are working towards making the ecosystem for manufacturing are strengthening of the deeds, and lacking financed to reach that target. so the indices as such have definitely underplayed the domestic ambition that says that india has would be for several reasons. but i am told that you don't, don't be governor issue with it in years to submit and yet do the un epoxy india sort of crystallizes. it's worse these domestic goals more strongly and show the parkway to what the chief ignacio while we appreciate you appreciate your insights on this same complex issue, madura joshing from the climate change the think tank
