he and adam rather fates, studio v underscore date on al jazeera, with a children's there with me. so robert, reminder of our top use stories. israel has been accused of carrying out collective punishment after announcing a series of strict security measures against palestinians. the god linton valdez

planning responds to attacks against israelis and occupied east jerusalem. you are a secretary of state anthony blank and essential to arrive in jerusalem on monday morning after his brief visit to egypt on sunday. it's his 1st trip since benjamin netanyahu is right tween coalition government took office. lincoln is due to also meet palestinian officials in the occupied west bank. roaches. these agencies reporting us officials saying that israel may have been behind saturdays, driving attack, and iran. the strike hit a military building near the city of this fall. or on said at least one drive was shot down on the explosion caused mine to damage. seen this cowardly attack was carried out against us, our security body so powerfully acting to ensure maximum national security and such moves can't impact on nuclear. scientists will add intention to achieve peaceful nuclear energy, identify the crowd, to hit a convoy of trucks near the syrian the rocky border. that's according to the syrian

observatory for human rights. explosions were seen in the city of the book a mile after the vehicles cross the border from iraq. the trucks are reported they being used by rocky armed groups, backed by iran in the vendor. a similar attack was blamed on israel through the president in a block has called on congress to move elections forward from 2024 to december of this year the parliament will debate the proposal again on monday, after rejecting it on saturday. there are being their daily anti government protests and so the president federal castillo is impeached and arrested. in december. both counting is underway in tennessee as parliamentary election. the 2nd man took place on sunday, but only a little over 11 percent of eligible people have cast the ballads. russian strikes of killed at least 3 people in ukraine, southern that is shawn 6. others were injured in the attack, which struck of apartment building and other civilian infrastructure. meanwhile, an elderly woman has been killed after a missile has

a residential building in the northeastern city. keep 3 of the people sustained minor injuries when the full story block was hit. there you can follow those stories on our website that all the adult comments updated throughout the day. dream will be here with more news and half now the next on out there. it's thrice to stay with us. ah . do to cope with our growing population, we have tripled our exploitation of natural resources in just 40 years as a result of the vast expansion of mining, industrial scale, farming, fishing, and other human activities. natural ecosystems have lost nearly half the area and

1000000 plant and animal species, a facing extinction. without the ecological networks which regulate our planets from cleaning air and water to providing food, we simply cannot survive. but there is still time we meet the pioneers striving to protect 2 of our most valuable remaining ecosystems. roberta, sweden, where an inventive clothing company is using groundbreaking technology to fight deforestation. and i'm a man to borrow in taki where one man is fighting to protect a wetlands haven for migrating beds. ah, the fashion industry worth $1.00 trillion dollars. every year term phone manufacturers made millions of garments might only be worn once or twice before

ending up in lanfield. the so called fast fashion is incredibly resource intensive, and perhaps surprisingly, one of the key dry loose biodiversity laws, a deforestation. i'm in sweden where one company is working on a green solution to this global problem. but 1st i want to understand the impact fast fashion. so just 20 kilometers, i'd say still cooler is the primeval interest of forest that we're on our way there to meet the call, right? she's a conservationist and she's on a mission to protect against the forests around the world. how it's great to see if i so much we come to stock on to do a story about fashion, what i have written for it. so there's a $150000000.00 trees that disappear every year into the clothing that we all where it's slated to double within the next decade. i've never heard of that connection between between fashion and 4 street. yeah. well, it's not an insured,

if like that something that soft and silky next skin actually it starts off as a tree. many of these trees come from endangered forests, thousands of years old, known as primary forests around the world. 50 percent hold ready be lost due to human impacts such as logging. nicole runs canopy, an organization dedicated to protecting those that remain. a complete breakdown of the ecological function of that area is a massive release of carbon into the atmosphere and disrupt species have attacks. even though trees can grow back insulin in danger. far, sir, or place simple. after the forest to clear the wood is pulped, and processed into fabrics called re on the and viscous but is shockingly wasteful . as much as 70 percent of the harvested wood is dumped or incinerated,

just 30 percent ends up in the going to be we're canopy worked with businesses that source from primary forests to find the green alternatives. one of their main focus points is the global fashion industry. what's your strategy? how are you going to make a difference in this? my experience is that some of these staying global brands, they have the ability to actually engage their suppliers, to stop them from logging in ancient and endangered forest ecosystems. and if we can redirect it to be more sustainable now, using recycled fabrics rather than ending up in landfill and for the current capacity that's already in production, let's just make sure it's not coming from really important ancient endangered parsed regions. i like that. so you're talking about a kind of a 2 prong approach. one is the kind of conservation and stopping that deforestation the 1st place. and the 2nd one is this recycling element. so reusing what's already been produced. so that's

a big priority for canopy is to really help kick start commercial scale production on these next generation solutions. mike recycle. clothing being used. i've got a confession to make advocate of thermal. ha ha. because i was terrified. we're going to freeze and i live to the label in the way here is that there is 3 percent this good. there were yeah, i wouldn't feel bad. i as you, i was surprised when i 1st discovered the line between ancient and endangered far some viscous blue can appear helping to transform the fashion industry. one of their partners is a recycling company in the town of christian. hm. cold renew. so they've invented a pioneering technology, the promises to transform textile manufacturing. it came of age in 2014. when a catwalk model dawned, the yellow dress made from 100 percent chemically recycle fabrics. the 1st time c e o mathias johnson is offered to show me how it all works. so right at the

beginning. yeah. this is the parts don't humor. this is a gene blue gene that people ever wear and tear about this both all the worth. next for that it goes into our frederick and that it bought a road that in a dry estate were separate and a home. and then it goes in to what stage with this all the kids is lori, that we would take out some of the color we bleach it a bit. and then we're dr. what would be happening today? so if you guys weren't using your, your process, most of it would be a landfill or a bar. we're getting the naval or from you guys. i don't read in the machine either and all that to break down every stage, the process has been carefully considered. the dies and chemicals are all recyclable and the water is reuse to after the drain process, the fabric is pressed and packed into paper like sheets. surprising pregnancy

and product. this is a fancy and there contains a lot of parallel lows and really good stuff for making it go fiber. this is the raw material from which the fiscal fabric is plainly made. the rest so you can print it like a normal fiber, then you've got you on it to be woven into any quoting. well, we go here. this is a famous yellow dress and this is the world's 1st chemically recycled piece of garment. wow. oh, this made from blue jeans? no, all right, same stuff. it doesn't look like a worthy environmentally friendly garment. this looks like any other carmen that you would see in the high street. absolutely. and that's why we're not necessarily call this recycling. we call it up cycling, but i'm inspired by what seen here when you sell are hoping to open another 3

plants within the next 5 years. manufacturers are taking steps towards reducing that pressure on primary forest. for all this to make a real difference then needs to be demand. that demand starts here on the high speed. were you aware that there is a connection between the fashion industry and deforestation actually do not think about, you know, what fiscal yeah, that's a material right? organic material, you know where it comes from. no idea you're aware of this connection between the fashion and 3 and before say no, i had no idea of judging by the shoppers. there's some way to go before awareness will drive demand. but nicole's organization can be a working to bring suppliers like renew so together with brands can stock their products, vague fashion brands, they are driving

a lot of the problems that we're seeing. how do you address? sure. seems to be a bit the disconnect. the clothing touches all of our lives on a daily basis. it produces a $100000000000.00 government every year. it has the big book print and i do not have a big footprint when you're that bit. and it's exactly because of that reason that we need them to be part of the solution. so it's fun to be here, i think on high street and in between 2 of canopies brand partners can paul and h an m, who are part of the $170.00 plus friends that we're working with in the fashion sector to transform this goes around to pine. so you said you'd be working with them. we think all the stuff you've been working on. yeah, absolutely let's, let's go inside and have looked kind of be success is growing all the time. because hope is soon, every store will stop recycle clothing. so this is a rack of clothing that has a variety of different environmental quality. this product here is really

interesting, as far as he can tell, just a pair of denim jeans, this cut 20 percent recycled cotton renew. so we saw them producing a kind of a feedstock, which is 100 percent recycle quote. and do you think we're going to get to that point? i do. and i think, you know, in the short term, this is what's available today. and renew cell is hopefully next season clothing so that this moves from having 20 percent recycle cotton to a 100 percent. recycle h t. m. recently partnered with renew. so to support us continuing research. this is part of the clothing joints pledged to use 100 percent sustainably. so as clothing by 2030, which would be priced. the same cost is non sustainable items. and in store customers are encouraged to drop off unwanted garments to be recycled by companies like yourself. so i'm curious to see if there's anything in here, if there's actually a financial look at that, they can be any quotes they can be,

any brands, clothing we have been working with big global retailers and designers on ensuring that this recycling program actually continues to increase so that it gets fed back into the coiling supply chain and ultimately becomes next season's fashion. so literally kind of closing the loop on it as to where we want to get to that's. that's where we want to get to. ah, discovering the link between the fashion industry and deforestation was shocking, i think, with organizations like canopy and when you sell, raising awareness, there is hope for the future for massive challenge. but i think in the public are armed with the right information. they'll be able to demand more from the retailers, and then we might see a precious voice. stop being the victims of fashion. ecosystems are just like the systems in the body,

as long as they are looked after and managed well, then the body is in good shape. and if they miss managed and not care for the body, could potentially die. ecosystem collapse is a can to organ failure in our own bodies. if enough, of the organs that make up the terrestrial body are removed or are made sick, the body dies. the again, the earth is no different. each of us has a role to play and fixing this problem. we could have a world that is beautiful and vital, and alive, or one that is quite bleak and quite brutal. it's directly related to what me choose to do. whether or not we actually choose to do the work necessary to

mend and repair and rehabilitate our ecosystems or to participate in their death wetlands. some of the richest habitats on the planet, in this remote corner of ne and tacky, is one which is proving to be an ecological gen. conservationists of any recently realized it's vital importance. not only for local pads, but also for those migrating from all over the world. and yet the iris river wetlands is under threats. i've come here to meet a man who's hoping to save this remarkable parts of the world. john shaquille alone is a world renowned own authentic se listening to keep a professor in the united states every year, china times to homeland attacking and comes to this area. it's part of the country . what draws in here is a 5 kilometer squared pocket of land. the iris river weapons john came across it in

2005 and was looking just playing with google earth. and i thought this looks like a globally important osis in critical spot for migration breeding and wintering, birds. and it's compet different coming here in person. and i thought this is it, this is a place where i wanna do long term research to really understand what birds use this area. this rare wetland situated in a dry sub desert region is created when the iris river floods. it's ideally located for migrating birds out of 35 global hot spots. we're at the intersection of not one, but 23 of the eight's world's global bird migration flights that intersect right, where we are in north eastern turkey. it is one of the most special wetlands on the planet. you basic discovered a treasure child. how did he fail? it was so exciting and it was so beautiful. i mean,

i didn't really did not expect. after 15 years, we would have recorded almost 300 bird species. as 2 thirds of the antar eva far off the whole country recorded over centuries. i mean, in this one spot of the 290 bad species or eva phone. i documented 1021 a globally threatened or near threatened, including the gyptian, vulture and the car here. but further danger is looming. the government wants to dam this and tar valley. as far as that village over there, flood this whole place. all this would be under 45 meters of water and airy season . i come here to seeing it's still there is like a relief because i'm always afraid it will all be gone. i have to come here and see it for myself.

early the next morning, john takes me to the birch winging station down in the wetlands. he's currently fighting in the coast to reverse the government's decision to build the dam. he hopes de, together here will prove the wetlands rich by diversity, and thereby in sure it's protection. we see everything here from minus 10 to our plus 40 santa. great. and the shade king had very cold here, or very all at minus 10 degrees today. exactly. to get invited. yeah. we've learned is he'll know something. oh yeah we, we do. we only have one in his turkey inside the team already hard at work on ng raising. the 72 in the 1st is tiny way. can i touch myself with this guy? know if he's got out with caught among the 600 meters, the bird. net that surround the station. every hour from sunrise to sunset during spring and autumn migration seasons, the net checks to see if any pads have flown into them. they've gone to check the raptor night and there's nothing there so we go back nights migrate to find

conditions favorable for living and breathing. it's early in the season here. so bird numbers are low, but there are some beautiful specimens. so we got our birds. ok. and the net what this is a mover. go to the collector. yeah, they hit the net slide into a pocket and then get entangled. some of the bad coats. yes. heflin for days nonstop. and my great for hundreds or thousands of calamities initially to be able to survive to germany has one thing they owe me level fat as their fuel right before migration. some birds will double their body mass. and that's why please like us are so critical because they did these stop over locations to keep eating and to keep replenishing their fuel reserves. now that i'm down in the valley, i can get a sense of why they stop it because it's warmer than just a bit higher up. this water everywhere. bits of foliage coming out. and the think

the can't see on camera is that there's actually insects. it says the huge amounts of food to be got here by migrating that one in 8 bird species are facing global extinction due to perils including habitat loss and pollution. so his only increases the importance of an array says like this. these days, if you're studying by diversity, it's almost impossible not to become an activist because you know you are study things that are being destroyed every moment you study them. one roman ramirez is a spanish ornithologist. one of 400 volunteers from 33 countries who have come to work here since chant, set up the station in 2005. now we got the birds from them, isn't it? it would go to the station, willing them think so. measurements on it, on the back to the gulf is bed was born definitely last year. and this is the 1st spring integration for this bird that raises they,

even when it's just one year old. it knows instinctively where it has to go with them as incredible will natural signs including changing de lengths trigger, the birds hormones switch, switch on the urge to travel on failing all the information gathered here is sent to a central database at chance university in utah. no down, low, very awkward on m less than a month. she lives that make them cookies. mother promotion you chums order. so in summer took the up that of your 6 or the total on the little muscle, the hydro roller and i was watching. will they lived again under the chalky michigan? so mom's good 1st got free on the for these were some very condition on the other one by blowing on the birds chest. one can tell its fat levels if the skin is pink, they are low. and if yellow, the bird is plump enough to travel on extent on mount. i just so slights and to think that this bird has come from liddy thousands of kilometers room for it from

the start of its journey in africa said it's it just ex georgia because it's so tiny under often what the like oh i thought for every individual with a couple of feathers, i got to the left. oh, you can feel it's hard facing. is tiny little hurt. one for the data has been gathered, the birds can be released or doesn't want to go. over 14 years, the team have ringed around a 108000 bird when they are caught us where research is can contact the station here and their migration can be tracked. i feel like i've learned so much about why this place is so important as a refueling station for, for those birds which are travelling across the world on their journeys and being here with the team witnessing of their passion. and their commitment to the cool

was, has really brought home to me just how important this play says. but 16 kilometers up the road is a reminder that despite its important the fate at the iris river wetlands, it's far from the kill. this is why i wanted to bring you here, just to see what happens when you build a dam on our server. could not live here. i scan already and days basically nothing. i mean, there's a couple things on the arid cliff, but where are the wet lambert's? nothing on the shoreline? no waiters on the mud flaps. about a decade after this is built, there is no revisitation, hardly anything has come back. and remember at our us, it's the flood plain of the river that's creating all those wetlands. and because here by design, there will not be any flooding. you're not going to have that rich soil and all the

vegetation that grows on the whole earth valley will look like this. it logically dead. as the way you go around the world is that fine balance between development and nature. and cause progress has to be made, what's needed solutions that benefit both populations and the natural world. china has some reason to feel hopeful and its efforts to win protective status for the iris river wetlands in 2009 with data provided by him and his team. lake future, 70 kilometers north of iris with designated around wetland getting it into national recognition. being a global important i can see hundreds 100 turning. yeah. can i start by the kicked it out? see the train yet and there are some ducks in there. these critical lakes are dwindling and going out one by one. so could you because one of the last and most

important lakes in the entire northeast and turkey, which runs status doesn't mean the driving direct impact such as draining it for irrigation and hunting dog. but indirect threats remain grounds water extraction through need by wealth is reducing the lake level and animal still grades read bad . in september 2018, the lake dry dock, completely religious black, dry mud during the season. when it is the most important for birds, there was no water and no birds. the chant say it's a ramps on site and declare victory and walk away. i mean, constantly, she is a never ending battle, like as long as that place is there, you have to make sure it stays there. john is working on a number of fronts, the safe, the lake, and had just signed an agreement, protected with a provincial governor. meanwhile, he struggled to prevent the dam from being built on the iris river wetlands

continued just coming here regularly, year after year. reminds me the importance of the work we're doing. and even if i lose, i'll have it on my conscience. i'll know, i have done my best and i didn't just turn my back and gave up. it is estimated this around the world wetlands disappeared in the past century. future lake and the iris river wet have chance champions, but its global development continues to pay more wetlands in other parts. a going to need a local hero to fight that corner. across the globe ecosystems, affording victim to human exploitation. one possible way of ensuring that protection is to ensure the right to defend themselves in law. and the u. s. in the 1970 illegal scholar called christopher stone, proposed that nature should be seen as

a living entity with the same legal rights of people. it was through human representatives, be able to stand up in court and defend itself against threats to its well being. since then, the idea has been gaining traction in 2008, ecuador wrote it into its constitution, become the 1st country to give nature the legal rights to exist and flourish. and in 2017 new zealand, 3rd largest river, the flank annuity was given legal status after a married tribe fought for its rights to be preserved. the way forward isn't simple . for the future of conservation may lie in assuring nature as recalls to justice. busy busy busy busy busy ah

ah, how low they will have a look at africa in a moment the 1st to the middle east and event and the unsettled weather. sally picks up across the northern half of the region. we've got some really wet, windy and wintry weather pushing in across from takia into the caucuses. the rain continues to work its way. a further east, across places like a rock turning into snow as it edges into iran, but a much clearer picture for the south of this, for many of the gulf states, we've got a change in the wind that's gonna bring temperatures up for places like guitar as well as the you a but look at that by tuesday, some nasty weather once again affecting northern areas of saudi arabia. we could see some flooding from that. and the wet and windy weather intensifies across the north and more than parts of africa, particularly for libya as well. as egypt,

it is getting a lot cooler up here and that stretches all the way down places like mauritania, where we have what warnings out for temperatures being quite a bit below the average. for the south of this it's while the hot for places like nigeria, the winds, pick up here as well, for the south of this, a very wet picture stretching all the way across southern parts of africa with some heavy falls once again for zambia and for eastern areas of south africa, by the time we get to choose day though, more heavy rain to come from madagascar. ah, ah. a visit overshadowed by spiraling tensions. the u. s. secretary of state is due to .
