the latest flexing of muscles follows us how speaker nancy pelosi, his visit to taipei, a show of support for taiwanese independence. the china says directly contravenes beijing's historical claim to the island. so in the u. s. position china is using the diplomatic visit to pick a fight. clearly the p r c is trying to course taiwan. clearly they're trying to course the international community. and all i say is, we're not going to take the bait and it's not gonna work. ah, so it's a manufactured crisis that, that doesn't mean we have to play into that. i think it would only play to beijing's advantage. what we'll do instead is to continue to fly, to sale and to operate or wherever international law allows us to do so. and that includes in the taiwan strait and we will continue to stand by our allies in partners in, in the region. the war games have disrupted shipping and air traffic in a region crucial to global trade. more worrying, perhaps,

beijing and ty pay are turning up the heat on another brewing global conflict. as in basra, v o g 0. aah! and a reminder of the top stores on al jazeera, this fury and grief across the occupied west bank. after israeli forces killed a senior commander of alex, a martyrs brigades of palestinian armed group, resisting israeli occupation. the thousands of mourners filled the streets of nablus, where you brought him and now lucy was killed. all acts of martyrs brigades say their response with if the price you make, they think they kill the brought him but there are hundreds. if there are 1000000 of brian everybody's thing and it brought him pallets being counted in kenya's

stream. please introduce yourself to international audience. tell them who you are and what you day. i me, my name is slater jol canker and i am a filmmaker. and the director of a documentary i made over 15 years following the rise of the global youth climate movement. and looking forward to digging into that hello harriet, welcome to the stream. introduce yourself to tell audi it's a you on what you do. hi sa. i'm dr. harris you. i'm a researcher, i'm my title is actually cut 26 research fellow. i'm based at the priestly international center, the climate at the university of leeds. my research focuses on climate change, education and youth participation in climate governance k to have you. and while in glasgow as well, we have misery, misery, and welcome back to the story was lovely to have you. please remind our audience who you are and what you do for a month from sedan, i'm the chair that you went the procedure. all right. why we change and the,

as you mentioned, that something to you now of the called can you people writing, i'd meet the normal cop. thank. all right, the normal cult thing with a normal caught thing with youth activists. adage, what will the impact be of youth climate action movement on caught $26.00, that is our question. i'm asking that to you right now. if you on youtube, you can be part of the conversation. you already wang, and you already have very strong opinions. the comment section is here. your opinions are very welcome. i want to start in 1992. this is 7 suzuki at the rio, the very 1st a cop in rio. have a look. have a listen. i am fighting for my future. losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. do not forget why you are attending these conferences. you are deciding what kind of world we are growing up in. please make

your actions reflect your words. thank you. mm hm. the real earth summit was the 1st time in history that world leaders government to discuss climate change and to try to put forward a plan for sustainable development. thank you for reminding us that we are responsible for the world. and for the future generation, severin demanded an answer to the question, what about the rights of you? what about the generation that will have to pick up the pieces? i guess i'm going to ask all of you about 7 suzuki and where she fits. he and i feel like that mean, this is where it starts age. this is how it's going. so this is how it started psyched a. you put that clip in to your film. why i, i feel like every climate activist at one point or another has had a friend or someone send them back clip thinking that it is current and happening to day saying, have you seen this girl?

this is amazing or young people really doing this. and then it's always interesting because it, it, no it's, it's not from now. it's from 1992, 3 days before i was born. and i think it's really important clip because it shows where we've come from. it shows that all along the way young people have been injecting a enthusiast and passion and drive into this conversation that so desperately as needed on youtube already we've got a really active audience today. sasha fauna says, well, they found you little girl misery. what do you say? oh, i just wonder where is she right now because i would really looking forward to the person she became and unfortunately i mike lee just mentioned be are still in 19 with the same thing. thank you to remind them about the future. thank you for about was responsible, et cetera, et cetera. and i wasn't born in 1992 yet,

but it is. it's laughing now, but i'm crying actually a frightening side because it's so sad to see that there's still their time here and it's not actually so many think there are still the same target. go ahead. so i thought it was really interesting when i watched slater's film the it opened with that show of 7 suzuki. i also teach master students at the university of late the, about the climate negotiation, st. and sustainable development negotiations and m and i, he show them that clip and have this conversation because a lot of people think that the recent youth climate movement granted sumburgh is the 1st time we seen this kind of thing. i say no of this been young people doing this for years and i was at the rio plus 20 negotiations in brazil. so 20 years on from this clip and 7 suzuki was there and,

and she basically said she'd been invited back year after year to the un that saying the same stuff. i never noticed as i so pleased to see her and to listen to what she has to say, but she feels like the message is always the same and it's not really moving forwards. i am. and she actually said she thinks that rather than relying on worldly does, it's more important to look for the changes in our own local communities, which i felt like was a theme that, that came out of slight us film as well. so be interesting to hear what's later in israel. think about that. i both nodding a misery not to collect or not 1st and then slater. you go 2nd. yeah, i mean i it, it's very hard because at this point we really don't have any other options. we, we do activist or ad book, the different sorts with the local community is with the farmers would be up people

raising that one is a public doing the negotiations. and i'm like, i'm a part of the gate. i'm negotiation you with my country. we are doing everything possible in our heart to actually make this thing work. unfortunately, we feel sometimes that whatever we do, we are just washing a big wall that does it. and some people call this climate anxiety which is not in the climate reality. the baby in the future of the whole world is in the hands of less than 201st and it says that $200.00 britain have to make the right because otherwise oh, under the drought. so yeah, yeah i it's interesting, i'm having these conversations in these interviews and even now it still feels like it's a little bit of ground hog day that we're, i'm, i can't believe that we're still having these conversations. i can't believe that we're still having conversations about why we're still having this conversation. i

think, i think a lot of it comes from the fact that it, through the years that i've been filming this and, and speaking to young people and indigenous communities and communities on the front lines. the thing that comes up again and again is the sense that how were we going to fix a problem within the society that created it? and i feel like a lot of that is not necessarily being talked about. it feels like client, the climate crisis is an existential crisis of who we are as people and how we're going to move forward. like what kind of world do we want to live then? who are we going to be? what is our relationship to each other in the planet? and i feel like that part of the conversation is not necessarily something that you see at the you and climate talks at cops. the sense of what, how are we human within the climate crisis? say i have a silly harriet and this is something that you've been studying for

a long time. the, the, the impact of the climate action youth movement. and i have a theory that people see young people and they think they don't know what they're talking about. okay. and then in the film youth unstoppable directed by slater. there's a moment where she's like, is it okay if i call you a kid, she's a kid who got an into not now but back then. how old were you? slater? i was 12. all right. she's a 12 year old. the only interview this canadian politician gave was to 12 year old slater. have a look and then harriet respond of the back of this clip. canada was one of the countries that had signed the kyoto protocol committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. but at the same time, the government was aggressively supporting alberto oil sands, the largest industrial project on earth. what would you think of?

i'm putting together something where the youth and the adults involved something like a youth council to help shape canadian environmental policy. well, we hear regularly from all kinds of canadian young and old business and environmental average grenades. there's not a national consensus to be had all the printers from across can get together. they can't agree on what to do. the for political parties in the house of commons for government opposition can't agree what to do. there's also another $150.00 countries. we need to get them involved to get on the thinking, mr. bad, very much. i thought slater responded to that very politely. i wonder if she would respond the same to day. it felt a little bit to me like and he, he took that, that one interview because he thought, oh, it'll be nice, ill look good to meet with the young person and then she has some quite tough questions about that. so freely just can you listen to young people and have kind

of responded with a we listen to lots of people like businesses and big environmental organizations. and it's, i, let's not really the same thing though, that they are already pulling a lot of the strings in our society. and an i thought slightly did a very good job there of just politely shaking his hand. i wonder if, if her and if, if miss rain, have you been responding to people at that today? if you been saying no, i won't shake your hand till you give me a proper answer. yeah, well it, yes and no. i had a speech day where the whole of that 35 work eaters fido through with me. and i did each and i think that they didn't like it. i can, i can i show a little bit of your speech and then you can tell us what you suspect that be a politician is in the room, didn't like it. so this is ms. rain addressing caught $26.00 a few hours ago. i name is 47 percent of the word

population. so any time you meet me or say listening, just say 47 percent and i will understand this. 4 to 7 percent is only the people who are aged between $15.29. we are not yet talking about the people 30 to 35. we are not also talking about children, which is by far more than this number. so we are basically represent more than the halls of the population of the planet. so it's not a gift, or it's not a privilege to listen to us or treats an obligation because we represent most of the population of the world. and just just across the way i just wanna set the scene was prime minister boys johnson. he mentioned you as he was addressing cop, you are surrounded by the great and the good news ring. how did your message go down? yeah, so i also spoke about the queue that's happening is done right now, and i tried it to connect climate governance with existence,

all institutes. and you know, we're leaders are of it's spectacle when it comes to talk about politics that are really countries for them until now for them. climate change is a soft landing issue where they can listening to young people accept anything coming from the beginning climate change. but you cannot talk about other things and i will just be a hypocrite if i talk about climate change and uncle 26 and i feel isolated from my home and not talk about the issues that we are facing. how the hell are we going to have one with action in our countries where we don't have government the 1st place we, we don't have any assistance with this when we don't have a structure that help us to actually tackle climate change in the 1st place though, nothing, nothing is disconnected, everything is very much connected to each other and we just tried it to would it up partials and partitions between topics. then we are just like our selves and we have to accept that. do they have to accept that to say to, i'm just wondering, is it? yes,

it's exciting. it go ahead. was wondering if i'm watching the screen at cop 26 at the table. what is that like? it's incredibly inspiring. i mean, on the one hand, i feel like you, you are the most you are the person within that room who we should all be listening to. not only just from the 47 percent, but because you actually are sharing the energy and the it's, it's hard to say it will say what it is. it's passion, it's fear, but it's also a conviction that we do know what we're talking about. we are not only inheriting in the future we're, we're living within the present that is currently spiraling out of control, whether it's fires or droughts or flooding it mean it's happening now. it's, it's, it's here and we have been sounding the alarm from so many years and thank you. yeah, i wanted to say and, well,

2 things. one is rain. can you get me in there with you tomorrow because i'm in glasgow. i feel like i'm at a completely different conference the because i don't have a government batch. so we've been stuck outside all day. i may as well have been sitting in my room watching on tv because we couldn't get near anything and we had to pay 6 pounds the a plane cheese sandwich. and, and the other thing is, when you're at presenting such a massive and diverse group of people, how do you get that message across and do you find it? and do you find it difficult? i've noticed in my research that at the international level, young people kind of result to this message that, that does come across that whole group of an way, ah, that kind of, that rock moral power of is and is going to affect of features and that, and symbolic power of representing such a large amount of the, of the global population. but by being they sort of model global citizen and

not always being able to connect it back to your own experiences. that it can be a little bit easier to dismiss young people as not having that so of real life experience. and that, and vulnerability to climate impacts that some of the other civil society groups are bringing in the negotiations that really capture people's attention with the personal stories. yeah, you are, you're asked to go to the right. it's a, it's a, it's a very, it's a very programmatic for me, every time i have to deliver a speech, i always try to consider all of them. it's almost in the world, all the different inequality. because i was speaking to one of the swedish delegations. you're in call and she comes from the arctic area and when she wants to planning, how artic looks like, i felt like she's exactly describing sedan,

but it's so cold there. and so all the, my country. so even within the developed countries, unfortunately some areas are deliberately unsafe all under the quality and the where all of the goods and the resources of that poor area goes to capitals like for example, or other other cities than a big big cities. so trying to address all of this new qualities, trying to actually talk to every audience with their problem that they're facing because it's very, very important to touch everyone's heart. it's a very challenging and of course, as a human being, i cannot get it at that completely. from the reality. my cup is living it, and as you mentioned, this is my human experience and, and this is how i go up and became the person i am today. ladies, if i may, we have so many comments and questions for you and you choose, i'm gonna make this a speed round react, and then we're gonna move on and then we'll do enough one. see how many of the didn't you questions we can get a slater. all right. bully bother this movement. in air quotes. ok,

is an adventure jamboree. nothing else. slater. go ahead. that's completely absurd and ridiculous. it's not an adventure. january. i don't think any one who is part of this movement wants there to be climate change so that we could be going on an adventure and like connecting with people around the world. what we want is a fair, ambitious, and legally binding deal that actually ensures our survival as a species and allows us to adapt and to not be losing, not only the natural world, but the people that we love. this is a life or death situation. harriet, i'm gonna give this one t, this is from amman accompanying watching us on youtube. what can you say to someone who doesn't know and doesn't care about climate change? i think the best way to get somebody to, to care about climate change is to relate it to something personal. so i live in

the north of england and the, the way that i have done that when i've worked with school kids before is linking it to flooding, which is the climate impact that we experience the most where we live. and so i think going in with things that people care about and people that they know and communities that they feel parts of places that they call home and they want to protect is a good in road and then going from there to all of the other communities and people and places around the world that are impacted and broadening their and awareness from that is, is a good way to do it. i have one for eunice, re, this is from rashid, or she says, how do you see the impact of cock 26 on our future? well, it's too early to judge, to area to say the impact on 26 is x, y, z. that what i know that the impact on my bones, i'm already well when he was super cold, yet it's, it's

a challenge that you are ready to actually overcome where they have yes. goals in the world just to make this dawn because it's only a lot of church. so i, if you asked me this question again on the 12th or the 11th i might have on here on socks and we are still the fingers and hoping that until the last moment all the cop thanks goes well. so i could not judge from now it would be unfair to, to start judging things that start yet. guess i'm just looking at this. this is the driving ambition youth. the climate manifesto it was put together last month. it's being presented this month to the people who, who make the decisions. plato, when you see this and the way that you have follow the evolution of the youth movement. what does this say to you? this manifesto that has been given to politicians empower

i hope they actually read it. oh it, it feels eerily like i i remember being 15 years old and being part of a manifesto given to environmental ministers from around the world. and it ended up becoming a photo op. i don't like to think that i'm bitter, but there is a part of me. i want leaders to read this manifesto. i want them to take this and to, to actually see where young people are coming from. and to, to move forward with those goals, but i am worried that it'll just be more of the same because there isn't the sense of urgency. there isn't the same drive. we have countries that are representing their national interests and that doesn't necessarily benefit the future of the planet. no. shrink ahead. yeah. well, i was part of making money. i was the co chair of one of the areas which is a youth grabbing ambition. and you know,

once the marriott international multi lateral story multilateral national, a local and we were talking about how young people got them on the 3 levels. and we had great keys. we outcomes, which is a mean you think gauge meant and why we said for because a lot of young people feel that they are just a decoration and many parents. and this is something you don't want to because young people, how professional it's an impact, and have ideas on a beta they and they can actually solve the problem if people are really listened or supported. the 2nd thing was accessing to financing finances. a huge issue or everyone, even countries, but for young people specifically because the, the, and we cannot say volunteers wherever we have to actually have our lives and, and we're from need. and also at some point be to step up and grow bigger or work.

and the 3rd one was 19, is running. yeah, capacity building, we're gonna, we're going to end it there because i have to show, i want a few things on my laptop, youth unstoppable. this is the web page for it. you can watch it for free online at water bay. you can fall as slater on twitter don't to harriet you on twitter, and also misread lcm on twitter as well. thank you for your comments and your questions. i really appreciate them. thank you to his reading. don't to harriet and also slater, as well for bringing that perspective of where the youth climate action movement is today. i'm going to wrap up with thoughts from time activists. i went in glasgow in the room, hopefully at the table, making a difference. thanks to watching everybody the next time without innovative ideas on how these climate crisis can be solved. for these monta underscore 26. i want to see our, you know,

sickle denies. they want to be shut off young people and engaged them in decision making, programming, and implementation. i think we need to shift away from this us versus and mentality when it comes to discussing climate change and placing the blame on adults generation. i think it's more productive solutions oriented conversations focused on how we can move forward and build back the actions that are most important from my perspective that young earlier is policy based on climate action and being a good implant negotiations and janet conversations interesting at the national level as well, and it's not what i want to see from world leaders is to find a way to science. curious about they're not as you're sure with

ah we, i generation can people but very ambitious, very united, very puts it and i'm very good. that action. you might be comfortable right now, but not for long. you will soon feel the same his we feel every day from today's hong kong and uganda, 3 women grapple with the impact of the frontline activists fear future children on a. jesse are holding the powerful to account as we examine the u. s. is

role in the world on al jazeera ah ah safe going home and then international intake.
