it a goal crisis must be saw squint a political solution as climate change progress is there some people who are in places that they're just going to have to move. there is no recognition about what we're ready facing. the street on al jazeera. ah ah ah ah ah, i'm sammy zaden lindau with a look at the headlines here now jazeera italy's fall writes, a party appears to have a decisive election victory. votes are still being counted,

an exit polls project, georgia maloney's coalition will have a comfortable majority in parliament. victory would bank her government the 1st far right administration in the country since world war 2 in equally she kinda when this night is over, we will remember that this is a new beginning from to morrow on. we will have to show what our values are worth. if we are called to govern and lead this nation, we will do it for every single italian with the goal to unite these people. because our biggest goal in life is to make sure that italians are finally proud again to fly our flag high school in to the philippines and at least 5 people are dead. after typhoon nora hit the country, thousands of been forced to flee their homes. power is out in many areas and authorities of suspended school classes of government work. russians continue to protest, president vladimir putin in order to call up at least 300000 army reserves. the

infrastructure after storm fiona, it's east coast leaving a trail of destruction. homes have been washed away trees, downs, and hundreds of thousands of people left without power. as the headline says, or thrives now, ah, with climate change intensifying, the civility 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, if needed more urgently than ever. in november 2015 hopes were raised when wildly

is committed to reducing emissions with the pirate climate agreement. but in june 2017 president trump pulled the united states out of the a cold the united states will withdraw. the reaction against decision was widespread and immediate. china stepped into the role of global environment leda. and with the european union, we affirmed its commitment to taps and climate change. it is now the biggest super power in the worldwide ally, 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 pricing 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 going to fly in the face of much of the progress made over the previous decade. only

a few months into office and his approach threatens not only global security, but also that of the united states itself, where the effects of climate change are already keenly felt. president trump was started the process of rolling back the clean water route, which conserves the nations waterways threatening me into the environmental protection agency. the national organization 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 for trumps 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. a

coming up, the one that we were dealing with climate change right now. is that a situation where, you know, it'll be coming to us in the future? it is wrapping right now, my community. and so i, i came all the way here to be safe 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 and gas industry is truck is, has a serious onslaught to lock us into the infrastructure that's going to keep us addicted to fossil fuels 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 here would have been saved by. know you could just stand here for 8 is looking at this 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? yeah, because i've come here to represent my coalition as how we can work together nationally . all to combat climate change, global warming boys, the power of this kind of protest 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 foe to so gay rights to you. name it all change. we see that happens 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's a passive, everyone's expectations of a 200000 people showed up double the expected turnip, fast the march coins down, the still one person who went to meet with the staff. i. li, quit his job as 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've worked with christy at long the administration. so this is not just the 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 groundswell stand up to federal policy. with killing him, who i met on the march invited me back to his bomb and the catskill mountains and what new york state to show me how to do just that former teacher westlakes and a small holding farm using a 100 percent renewable energy. so this is our electric charge. it goes to the ground to the ground. and then this is a portable yeah, well, a generator. yeah, it's, i mean one person can move it from one place, the other as we move, move the fans around. but west is in your average pharma,

he led the charge on one of the most powerful environment to sit in campaigns in new york state history or 2009. he built a local collision. that site stepped federal policy by claiming that fracking states waterways using local state legal obligation to guarantee clean warranty to citizens west and his colleagues managed ban fracking across the entire state. today he has his 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 labor is involved too, because we are as 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 fight. so that's why we're going to albany. oh, if successful was, is do would nudge new york state towards a greener future, treating thousands of jobs in the process to push it forward with his heading to the capital building in albany every tuesday and pointed to lo be 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 genuine kind of bottom of politics is happening right here. this is it how it works in this country. there's a lot of interesting ironies that happened on tuesdays in albany. i might be here pushing for something to stop a pipeline. and i get on the 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 with this, he meets with this local legislature to put food, the plan for 100 percent renewable energy in new york state. going to learn to fill in the meeting to lay 2 ways 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 the folks in the center. the other thing that's going to happens 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, the organizations that function out of albany,

they're going to be doing the same thing here in albany with all those elected. oh, they told us 10 years ago, there's no way that you could stop cracking. 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 we're going to make that transition despite and that would be ah, we don't know if they're going to succeed. but what we do know is after being in d, c, m. c, in all these community groups 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 involved as actually the getting involved and being together as the people ppo, as the solution. a month after filming continued efforts by wes,

another 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 with, nor acting on mobile every community in the state. let's do it now. throughout the united states coalition to solidifying united by the commitment to meet the power sickening targets, the group climates mass as over 300 members of the 1200 governance mass colleges, universities and businesses have joined the public campaign, pulled. we are still in a union of 12 states class. puerto rico has been founded by the governess of washington, new york, and california. the united states climate alliance as

a coalition of states that have reacted to president trump's decision to whatever our united states found on 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 is also working internationally and june 2017 governor cherry 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 small 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. china is the world's biggest c o 2 emitter and urban air pollution here has reached crisis levels. but megacity and like sion. janet are now harnessing the power of both the government and the private sector to roll out new low carbon transport initiatives that are blazing a trail not just for other cities in china, but for the rest of the world. change in a booming metropolis and 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. by china 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 for me. so i've just hopped into one of changes 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. the currently on change in st. richard lee is going to show me around a while ago. you can warning how are you gonna be? are they welcome? so for people who don't know too much about feel id, what can you tell us about it while you are the stars in 1995 as the battery manufacturer. but now you are the saturated, the war a large is new energy vehicle manufacturer. so this is the view of the 6, and this is the 1st and then most of says will be why the puter i should have beautiful ones is fully charged. the 0 gives you 400 kilometers. dr. rich, are we really deliver those to taste fleet? again, china and the world b, y d reflects the global shift in the industry towards china, which last year sold around 400000 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 either . sure. vehicle. okay. you're in title assurance subsidies. for example, you sion, janet, you go, i buy a tall like this. so yeah, you can in title around $40000.00 r and b in total those subsidies. that's 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 plug in a hybrid car, so if interest to drive both. so now we operating this e v mode, so that is a pure electrify ridge drive. no, no, no, you have mtv over there. right now we also have the hgtv there because if you switch the tv inside the engine and started it, yeah. okay. right. you feel it so that would give you other powerful. mm hm. but it's not just cars. b,

y d is making electric buses, trucks and service vehicles, reports, 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 electrical doctor about what's going on. so it's pretty amazing to think that by september, all of the both of the children 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. anyhow, i love it. i'm taking a ride with lou. don't come. he recently became a father and also bought his 2nd electric car. just a was also told us whole woman,

the shipment. why sure. why, why, why there are things it's a for getting it was your why anyway, john williams. 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, placing a curve and have a wish unless us insight again on china. oh, susan, well has the worst since is simpson. has a war for my finance for the hot out the violence handler? tenant mario hyde shows on how can yonah hawkinson was emma dental, so i'll be avo. yeah, i knew it was. i was in ohio and valuable valence isn't using my my over i'm or use

it. it seems that consumer perceptions have already shifted. i spy a customer. let's see what she thinks. oh, do get on to the high school lunch with olivia. mm hm. yeah. you you, it is yours and in the beer in his own center there for sure. dollar for the while we are going to other future move to the one good. are you that or would you the yo yo, we own a home or even job to lay them. of course all the seller tricity has to come from somewhere. inch and jen 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 city cycle. 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 john, she went to learn how to use mo, bike one of the leading companies mccain's or the made on those. okay, i can follow maddie ah, ah, ah, ah, the other hi, this is mackenzie mosley just on both ends on, on is with her on highway. 2000 is on those in with them or does she, oh, no matter. i go to the now. the application uses g p. s to find a bike mere you oh boy, i say long oh, you pay with mobile payment, which is now widely used across china and you go so i'm testing out this mo,

like in this hard 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 punch alcove away on what? why don't know why? i was one if you had a saw join until now. how men? edition melbourne. sometimes on the shelf as acronyms are so case focused on backorder. did you want to? so i found a hot i found my former m since i know your little sometimes all your mental guys he the lines are not by the opposing god. so i also just over years since their launch mo, bike has 200000 bikes inch engine alone. now they could be coming to a city near you. mo bike 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, okay. things i tell you when i when, when, how and fun? jin chang use g. p. s to search for faulty bikes, reported by users. and the us, oh, oh my god, it was i was going through our hunt has brought us to one of shins, dense neighborhoods known as urban villages. i am a new master. those are oh, wow. okay. oh wow. really stuck together. they're literally like you have one huddle that's just stuck

in the smoke away. it's got free. okay. okay. so somebody has locked these bikes together. well, that complicate thing. how much of the young element? oh yah, funds actually based on those 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, it's a on hightail, i. yeah, in 2015. you know old boa, i wasn't with any office number jill and people find all way was alba, or ceo them without us. and i thought, well my whole house will do faith. i've been dealing hold many of me,

they bought 3 m. o one o one. so yeah. 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 have 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 calliger, but there's no doubt it's moving forward a fast. and that's at least one reason to be optimistic.

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. o spearheaded by people who are determined to make a difference. it's when local initiatives get wider, 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 re so much urgent work to do ah, i will say the winds picking up but cross c eastern side of the raven peninsula

over the next few days, just around the gulf, getting a little breezy here, there will be some lifted dust and sand temperatures struggling to get to 39 degrees celsius as that shamar wind sets in. once again, $37.00 celsius in baghdad is a bit more like it should be, but still a warm in q way. we are still getting above 40 degrees here over the next day or so . thing should calm down here in doha as you go through tuesday. 37 celsius becoming increasingly pleasant, but to see just around the empty quarter, southern part, sava, saudi arabia all if it doesn't. sad to watch out for here will be dry. wanted to shout as possible as he just around the southern end of the red sea. joining up the shouts because central parts of africa had a little clutch of big downpours just making the way across. nigeria over the next day, also. and the showers extend all the way across a good part of west africa. see plenty of showers. tim into central advocacy, son now passing the equator. so this central parts of democratic republic of congo,

seeing some lavish ow, some useful showers. i would hope just coming into that eastern side of tanza, near kenya, seeing some on shore showers as well, whether they're into southern parts of south africa with rain to for the eastern cape. ah well, and he semitism is an evil under a labor government. it will not be tolerated in any form. what so ever. beneath the surface lies the dark aside in british politics, the labour files are too on al jazeera ah, the british pound hits in all time no against a dollar raising concerns in the market about the you case. biggest attacks cut in half a 2nd.
