well, i didn't expect it. so i went to the kindergarten with my daughter and they gave me the core of a paper in the street. i came here at once. i'm fine keeping cam won't be away so long. hopefully somebody relatives, the crying is the most difficult thing is to say good bye to the kids can national got off and of course i'm ready to protect the motherland, but not now and was not this time for sure. it's not my, when is the war of russians and ukrainian mind the roost? well, lebanon's transport minister saying that at least 76 migrants have died after the boat. they were travelling in capsized off the coast of syria. 20 people rescued, but many a still missing survivors say the boat left tripoli in northern lebanon on tuesday, bound for europe. one more lebanese syrians and palestinians are risking their lives to get out of lebanon, or an economic collapse is punished. many people into extreme poverty elsewhere.

ron's army is wanting that it will confront what it's called enemies is protest continue of the death of the 22 year old women in police custody. protested with the and confronting riot police and throwing objects in the city of alma on friday that was reported at least $26.00 deaths during the unrest demonstration started last week when master armine died off the rest of failing to adhere to headscarf rolls. as rise is the program coming up next l. c. the news out afterwards ah with climate change intensifying, the stability of the planet is at stake. by 2015 greenhouse gas emissions must be

reduced by 80 percent. if we are to have a chance of tackling this crisis, environmental leadership is needed more urgently than ever. in november, 2015 hopes were raised when wildly is committed to reducing emissions with the paris climate agreement. but in june 2017 president trump pulled the united states out of the accord, the united states will withdraw the reaction against his decision was widespread and immediate. china stepped into the role of global environment leda. and with the european union, we affirmed its commitment to toppling climate change. it is now the biggest super power in the world wide alliance, the people fighting to protect the planet. i'm russellville, in washington dc, to find out how much people ppo can make a difference in fighting climate change. and i'm stephanie long and since in southern china, which is leading the world in low carbon transport initiative,

even before we became president, it was clear that trump's environmental policies were gonna fly in the face of watching the progress made over the previous decade. only a few months into office and his approach threatens not only global security. also that of the united states itself, where the effects of climate change are already keenly felt. president trump has started the process of rolling back the clean water rule which conserves the nation's waterways. threatening needs sense of the environmental protection agency, the national organizations set up to protect the environment and communities. and these revive government support for fossil fuels. my administration is putting an end to the war on call. trump's environmental legacy might have a surprising twist. i'm in the usa to see how communities are coming together to bypass the white house, forming a global network of grass roots resistance a come to the people's climate march here in washington,

dc. it's one of 300 marches across the country, calling for a change in environmental policy that i had around climate because i'm with, we're dealing with climate change right now. it's not a situation where, you know, it'll be coming to us in the future. it is happening right now, my community. and so i, i came all the way here to dc to say that enough is enough. ah, but 81 percent the united states energy still coming from oil, coal, and natural gas. many a here to oppose the trump administration. so the fossil fuel industry a come across with gillion from new york state and outspoken activities for renewable energy. oil

a gas industry is try, it has a serious onslaught to lock us into the infrastructure. and that's going to keep us addicted to fossil fuel for the next 50 years. the people that are here walking today, they have the exact opposite message. we are new forms of energy, alternative energy, renewable energy. with the environment where a bank you would have been saved by know you could just stand here for ages looking at these wonderful slogan. ah, i jeff of the front is michael. he's from an organization called says bronx unite. they're facing some significant challenges with appellation in the community. how are you? i'm good. how are you by half with i've come here to represent my coalition as how we can work together nationally. all to combat climate change and global warming boys. the power of this kind of protest the was he had no real true changes ever happened without this type of engagement from the civil rights movement to,

to the right for women. so pho, sorta, so, so gay rights to you, name it, all chains. we see, to have happened to our community, our society that's been momentous as come through this type of engagement. 5 hours later, the official count comes in it to pass if everyone's expectations of a 200000 people showed up, doubled the expected turnip, as the march winds down the still one person and one to meet with the staff. a li, quit his job, a senior advisor of the environmental protection agency's environmental justice team. 2 months after president trump came into poa, i want to know why he's here today as an individual, sometimes it can be overwhelming and you feel disconnected. we're connecting folks, so it is a global movement. there is a global connection that is happening and we want to utilize that power to make change, not only for today, but for future generations as well. give us a sense of how,

how you and the rest of the people here. i'm hoping for chris here on the administration. so this is not just a moment. this is a movement. and that means that once folks are done marching, we're breaking down silos. people are coming together in authentic ways and creating collaboration. folks are going to go back to their respective communities . they're going to take the information that they got here, but they are also going to get engaged. and that means that they're going to get engaged on the local level and the state level. oh, king to the marches. here there's a real sense that people ppo can create change for how can a local grounds will stand up to federal policy. with killing him who i met on the march, he's invited me back to his farm in the catskill mountains, north new york state to show me how to do just that former teacher westlakes on a small holding farm using a 100 percent renewable energy. so this is our electric charge. it goes the ground to the ground. and then this is a portable yeah, well,

a general. yeah it's, i mean one person can move it from one place the other as we move, move the fans around. but west isn't your average pharma. he led the charge on one of the most powerful environment to sit in campaigns in new york state history in 2009. he built a local coalition that site stepped federal policy by claiming that fracking states waterways using local state legal obligation to guarantee clean water to the citizens west and his colleagues managed ban fracking across the entire state. today he has a site set on a new bill to transition new york state into a 100 percent renewable energy by 2050. it's a huge left to to this, but we need to mandate it and then, and come up with how to do it. and, and labor is involved too, because we are out right now. there's more jobs in the renewable sector than there

is in the fossil fuel sector and new york state has the, the political inertia to do that. now, partly coming out of the fracking fight, we have a highly educated population in the state because of that fracking fights. so that's why we're gonna albany. oh, if successful was his bill would nudge new york state towards the greener future, treating thousands of jobs in the process to push it forward with his heading to the capital building in albany, a whole presentation on gun violence, whatever legislation they're pushing. and people come from all over the state to follow it. and then you know, some of these folks are probably going off and having meetings with their elected officials from their community. this is jenny and kind of bottom of politics is happening right. this is it. how it works in this country. there's a lot of interesting ironies that happen on tuesdays in albany. i might be here

pushing for something to stop a pipeline. and i'm get on an elevator with someone from the oil and gas association of america who's got a paid lobbyist there. i'm trying to do the exact opposite, put pipelines all over the place. i follow where says he meets with this local legislature to put food to plan for 100 percent renewable energy in new york state . weren't allowed to fill in the meeting. 2 hours later with emerges with wingman eddie battista, it's a climate emergency. the governor needs to show some urgency and so we need, we don't know yet if he's going to step up and take the kind of. ready leadership that we need in the age of trump, but we have about 4 and a half weeks to make it happen. then i like our chances. what are you and what's going to you ask, what's going to happen next? i mean, we've got another meeting with folks in the center. the other thing that's going to happens and is going to go back down to brooklyn. i'm going to go to the catskills

and we're going to get everybody in those places on board with us and push for it. then they can ignore it. and the folks other organizations that function out of albany, they're going to be doing the same thing here in albany with all those elected for 10 years ago. there's no way that you could stop racking. it's going to happen, you know, and after a 7 year fight, governor announced that there's a ban on friday. we stopped it so doesn't really matter. president trump says about the e p a or where am we're going to make that transition despite. and that would be ah, we don't know if they're going to succeed in or what we do know is after been in d, c, m, c. and all these community groups are working together is the climate change is not one problem with one silver bullet solution. it's made up of many little problems to interact and intersect in every aspect of our lives. what that means is that we

all have an opportunity to get both is actually the getting involved and being together as the people ppo, as the solution. a month after filming continued influenced by wes and other campaigners who validated when the governor of new york state andrew cuomo signed an executive order, pushing old agencies to develop plans for 80 percent renewable energy provided long and nor acting on black mold. every community in the state, let's do it now. throughout the united states, polish and to solidifying united by the commitment to meeting the paris sickening targets, the group climates, mass as over 300 members of 1200 governance mass colleges, universities and businesses have joined the public campaign, pulled. we are still in a union of 12 states. clos,

puerto rico has been founded by the governor of washington, new york, and california, the united states climate alliance as a coalition of states that have reacted to president tramps, decision to whatever are united states from the climate treaty. and the states stepped up, taking it upon themselves to do the things that would be necessary if in either states we're still at the table. this is a coalition that can get as big as there are jurisdictions that are willing to work with us. i think there's real hope that as states see other states joining and getting some benefit out of it, but they'll decide that they want to be part of it to california. also working internationally in june 2017 governor jerry brown signed a deal to work on climate change with china. china looks to us now as a representative of the united states. they want to see not just california of

other states coming to china. they want to send people here to learn from some of our techniques that we've used over the years to bring down the levels of smart, which not that long ago were as bad as what you now see today in beijing. seeing countries or states or cities that are cutting their emissions and doing well economically, is what everybody needs to be doing. and we all can learn from each other because there is no one place that has a monopoly of all the good ideas. ah, china is the world's biggest c o 2 emitter and urban air pollution here has reached crisis levels. but now getting like change in are now harnessing the power of both the government and the private sector to roll out mean low carbon transport initiatives that are blazing a trail not just for other cities in china,

for the rest of the world. change in a booming metropolis in china's southeastern manufacturing balance. until the eighty's, just a farming community shinji was chosen as a testing ground for communist china's experiment with capitalism. now it's china's answer to silicon valley with over 11000000 inhabitants. 150 skyscrapers and 3000000 cars. but china's boom has come at a price. the world health organization has estimated that air pollution kills $1000000.00 people in the country each year. it's a crisis that desperately needs a solution. and part of that solution is hopefully about to pick me up with . so i've just hopped into one of changing electric taxes and they say that by 2020

all of the taxes and changes are going to be fully electric, which is amazing. so i'm up to find out how that point to be done. i'm visiting b y d or build your dreams which produced the 5500 electric tax. these currently mentioned in st. richard lee is going to show me around a while ago. you can warning, how are you going to be, are they welcome? so for people who don't know too much about feel id, what can you tell us about it? well do i do start in 1995 as the battery manufacturer. but now be, are these saturated the world orders, new energy, vehicle manufacturer? so this is the b y, the 6. and this is the 1st and the most successful b y, the pure actually beautiful one is fully charged as a vehicle keeps with 400 kilometers dry range. are we really deliver those 2 types of fleet? again, china and the world. b y div reflects the global shift in the industry towards china, which last year sold around $400000.00 new energy vehicles. more than twice as many

as the u. s. that's been made possible by the billions of us dollars worth of subsidies. the chinese government has used to build the industry for our by e v. lecture vehicle. okay. you're in title. the source of these, for example, you sion, janet, you go buy a tar like this. so here you can entitle around $40000.00 r and b in total those subsidies. that's about 15 percent off the price of this car, their best selling plug in hybrid which uses a chargeable battery and a gasoline engine. so because this is a plugin, a hybrid car, so you features to drive mode. so now we operating this e v mode. so that is a pure electrify written or no, no, you have mtv over there. yeah, we also have hgtv over there because if you switch the at the end of it, like the engine started. yeah, yeah. okay,

right. you feel it so that would give you other power for them, but it's not just cars. b, y d is making electric buses, trucks and service vehicles report, airports, and even mine and electric monorail runs through their campus. the goal is to fully electrify every transportation sector engine. jen, that's already becoming a reality. it's an electric double vector about what's going on. so it's pretty amazing to think that by september, all of the buses and changes are going to be fully electric like this. um mm mm. all this means that within a few years the cities entire public transportation system will be fossil fuel free . but what about the roughly 3000000 private drivers? yeah. anyhow. i mean, i'm taking

a ride with lou don't pump. he recently became a father and also bought his 2nd electric car. just was also hold his whole woman all hands on why she was a shock. there cuz it's a, it's was you want anyway, dasanya lucian. lou saw so much potential in the electric car market that he opened his own dealership and repair shop in july 2016. it engine has restricted new license plates for fuel cars while dissing them out liberally for new electric vehicles or any bees for short. lew has seen monthly sales almost double in the last 6 months. please make a curve and have a wish unless us insight again on china. oh, susan, well, has the worst since this is simply has a war for my renewals for the hot out the balance. hello. hello myra. hi. it shows

on how young the, how commission was emma then also not be avo. yeah, i knew it was i was in ohio and valuable violence just losing my mind over our usa . it seems that consumer perceptions have already shifted. so i spy a customer, lets see what she thinks. oh, do you know to the hi sheila? sure. the honda of yahoo. yeah. you you, what is your vision and the bill is on terms of their shows your bill left or the how he goes out the future move to the one boots. are you that or would you the yo yo, we are in a home or even charge later. of course all the seller trinity has to come from somewhere in gen running an electric car generally produces less than a 3rd of the c o 2 of a gasoline car, but it's still not carbon 0. luckily there's an even cleaner way to get around. one that runs on nothing but good old fashioned like work

me to china, douglas, 30 cycles in little more than a year. legions of these smart bikes have flooded the countries city, operated by 2 dozen competing companies, each with a distinct color and design. by the end of 2017, china will have 20000000 of them. i'm meeting up with cycle enthusiasts. juncture jan and jan, she went to learn how to use mo bike one of the leading companies. mccain's was a big on those kind of came by many ah, the other, i just certain kinds of any monthly job and both ends on, on these have been really, are all power. so council is on those in was all no more just oh, no matter. i go to the now the application uses gps to find a byte mere you oh, does. the white glove is a long oh,

you pay with mobile payment, which is now widely used across china and up you go. so i'm testing out this mo, like in this part right now, before i elise myself. in the world 9, see the streets are changing and it will pretty good right now. how many men push alcove away on what? why general one last 5, what was your 11 set of saw join until down home in addition, melbourne sometimes furnish all kinds. acronyms are so kind to send back with you on that matter. so i found a hot, i found my boma guy some since i know y'all, i've also been since all the month. okay. i see the lines of my boys. okay. so, so anyway, so just over a year since their lunch mo, bike has $200000.00 bikes and shinji alone. now they could be coming to

a city near you. mobic is already up and running, and singapore, and a chinese competitor is launching in the us. this year, but being able to lead them anywhere does create problems. i'm meeting with some mo, bike boys, as they're known to find out how they stop the city from being overtaken by discarded bikes. oh, creating virtually. wow. okay. uh huh. and when, when how and found jan ching used g p. s to search for faulty bikes? reported by users and the us. oh, oh my god. it was our focus is on our hunt has brought us to one of shinji and dense neighborhoods known as urban villages. shanella okay. them awesome.

oh wow. okay. more than happy. oh wow. really stuck together. they're literally like you have one huddle that's just stuck in this boat. oh wait, it's got free. okay. oh okay, so somebody has locked these bikes together. well that complicate thing. no, mine's only young element. oh yah, funds actually have on those are those cycles that make it out alive, get fixed up and redistributed to official parking spot. local transport authorities had set these up to accommodate a new bike slip and to try to regulate the system. so now this private initiative has been incorporated into the public transport system. ah, no, i say on high feel. i yeah. intend to. yeah. they are stuff you guys fit in,

you know all boa python with knowledge or untitled find all way. was alba also your the without us in a film hold i was will do faith. i've been dealing hope many of meet you. they've gone through. i'm found one, hold on so order out of chaos. the cycle system is still far from perfect, but it shows how willing the government is to let private businesses solve environmental problems. and overall, the approach is working. harmful small particulate matter inch engines, air has almost halved in the last 40. if the trend continues changing will succeed in meeting e u. air quality standards by 2020. it would be the 1st major chinese city to do that. encouraging cities like shanghai in beijing that are also investing and low carbon transport. china is still the world's biggest leader, but there's no doubt it's moving forward a fast. and that's at least one reason to be optimistic.

ah, environmental crisis facing our planet is greater now than ever before. but as we've seen in the series of arthritis, it's in the face of the biggest challenge is that some of the most effective solutions can emerge. some depend on cutting at science, whilst others can be simple. oh, spearheaded by people who are determined to make a difference. it's when local initiatives get wide, a political and financial support that they can really make a difference globally. despite the current u. s. administration, people and governments around the world, a coming together in the back to combat climate change is can only be encouraging when we're so much urgent work.

lou with hello there. an intense weather system has brought flash flooding to eastern areas of australia. and while the weather warnings have been downgraded, there is a threat of some severe storms on the east coast, particularly for new south wales. but a worst of that weather has pulled out to sea, leaving behind more settled conditions for the likes of victoria. as well as southern australia, temperatures in places like melbourne, likely to pick up over the next few days with some wounds coming back in before the showers on monday. and that's thanks to the system that's going to sweep its way

across the byte. it will clear for perth the remains while the cloudy until tuesday, much of the wet weather to be found in the south east. but things are looking more settled for sydney with sunshine on sunday. and things are looking settled for the south island of new zealand. some spring sunshine at coming through 15 degrees across the board. there the weather weather to be found in the north island, wellington seeing some thunder re downpours but it is an improving situation by sunday. that was a move to south east asia. we've got a system that's moving its way west across the philippines. we've got flood advisories out for loose on as that heavy rain works its way west that she weather update. ah, ah .
