4:02 pm
welcome to the program, the window of opportunity to be climate change is rapidly closing. extreme weather events were only get worse and us world acts now to secure a livable future for all. the star predictions are outlined in a un report as expected to shake climate policy in the coming years or environment editor nick clark explains in every country on every continent, the climate emergency is taking hold. this is milan away, hundreds dead, hundreds of thousands displaced. the cause a record breaking cycling on the other side of the world in argentina. endless brutal heat compounding droughts with farmers facing losses, estimated at $14000000000.00. so now we have this latest call to arms from the united nations with what should become the fundamental policy document for shaping climate action. it is the distillation of years of work by hundreds of scientists.
4:03 pm
and these are the key points. in the past decade, there had been 15 times more deaths from droughts, floods, and storms, and more vulnerable regions, carbon emissions, they need to drop and rapidly. in fact, they need to cut by almost half in just 7 years. if global warming is to be limited to one and a half degrees celsius baths a rapid and far reaching transition could pull us back from the brink. and to help do that, developed countries need to stump up hundreds of billions of dollars every year to vulnerable nations. something they've so far failed to do whether or not swelled leaders with that is another matter. it's not as if there weren't warnings long ago . and this was for men, nasa, climate scientists, james hanson way, back in 1988. altogether. this evidence represents a very strong case in my opinion that the greenhouse effect has been detected and it is changing our climate now. well, as we now know,
4:04 pm
the well didn't listen 35 years on fossil fuel emissions continued to increase along with colossal profits for the oil, johns, and temperatures. as of course, they're going up to and now say the experts once and for all we need to act before that window of opportunity. slam shut wasn't just mentioned below we that more than 400 people have died from flooding caused by psycho and freddy, me. the miller traveled to the sunday district which has been cut off for days. it's been a 5 day wait. and finally help has arrived. little magic, you that well been very painful waiting for a boat to get to the mainland because there is no food. we are very hungry among those waiting to be saved for tim afraid and her child was again tomorrow only so much by the grace of god that we live. because our friends were taken by the water offering that they need. they are dozens more stories like these in my congress
4:05 pm
central malawi. the area lies between 2 large rivers and heavy rain and wind from cycling pretty have caused intense flooding, cutting its people off from food, water, electricity, and health facilities. farm land and crops had been devastated. a rescue operation is being run by police, but it's limited. they say they're doing whatever they can. they have some support from the us volt food program or w f. p. currently we operate with only 2 bus from the usb. again, it's a huge number of people that want to be of equity to bank, all on which is an upright. tracy hahn is cooking the last of a mays. she tells us she survived powerful flood waters by tying a children to tree branches because she could not hold on to both of them. at the same time, the boats will go back in 4 days to come so far. 1300 people have been rescued and many others awaiting, but they are victims of the flooding,
4:06 pm
who refused to leave their homes. like those in this village. they want to stay with their families and what they know in the town of bungler, the situation is only just improving. but people desperate for refuge continue to arrive clinging to the few possessions they've managed to save. that done good, that is also cut out from surrounding towns and cities. but after 3 cycling in 18 months, people in this district are quickly adjusting. and just as quickly and beginning to be bold with the little they have. for me, demeanor al jazeera in santa district, malawi heaton, even as a professor of sustainability at kirkland university and was a coordinating author of a past un climate report and joins us now from perth and australia could tell you whether it's professor on the program. i mean, the scientists have been warning of climate change and the effects it'll have on the planet if humanity doesn't change its ways and dependency on fossil fuels. but we've seen report after report, i mean, what makes this one any more important?
4:07 pm
well, it is reaching a culmination point because the world of finance is now recognizing that they must contribute to this change. and so we now have $88.00 trillion dollars available for solving the problems of climate change. that's a very amazing amount of money that's down there, but it is essentially difficult for developing countries to be part of this rapid change that's happening unless the interest rates are enabled. so that extra 100000000000 or so from the governments is needed to help them get access to this money. indeed are. i'll talk about a financial support in a moment because it's, it's linked to the next question, which is about the issue of sort of climate justice because that's been front and center lately. it works in parallel. what we,
4:08 pm
what you've just talked about in terms of finance because during the last year we saw what floods in pakistan and now these recent psy close that of it, mozambique and malaria in poorer countries. that a bit less c o 2, have been paying the price for emissions from industrialized nations, and that's all part that has to be factored in. yes, it does. and the shamal shake cut 27 was very high on that commitment to the lawson damaged that's been caused by the developed world. and that was passed and that was accepted as something that we must do in the developed world. but it is a difficult transition that must begin with the developed world also reducing their massive amounts of our greenhouse gas that are still being produced . and even now new fossil fuel projects coming. so this,
4:09 pm
this world needs to change rapidly from the developed world, getting rid of that, get greenhouse gas and the developing world. preparing for more disasters cause there will be more indeed new talk about sort of the financial pot they're ready to help are developing countries. but the report talks of climate resilience, but that's not easy. is it? when some nations are prone to war, mass migration or have failed crops, and therefore implementing that money in a way that can be used properly. and in accordance with what, say the rules to try and help the planet while it just doesn't happen or can't happen right now. now we are a bit distracted with our wars and other things, and it's definitely time to focus again. maybe this report will help us to regain that focus. but i would like to suggest that the news is not totally bad news. there is some real change now happening. the net
4:10 pm
0 funding from the finance world is reaching through into cities and regions. it wise that i've not seen before in the 10 years up in the i p. c. c. i've never seen anything quite like the up type of solar of wind, of batteries, of electric vehicles and the opportunities and now they to get away from fossil fuels. so we, we should be celebrating the fact that the opportunities are now there. but at the same time recognizing it's going to be a very big exercise to enable a whole world to move down this trend you talked of shovel shaker as the previous cult meeting later on in 2023. the world's leaders and environmentalists will all arrive in the united arab emirates for the next caught meeting. how would you like to see this report play into that global meeting and you think you'd have an even
4:11 pm
bigger impact? yes, it should. and the reality is we are accelerating in our understandings, in our commitments, in our ability to explain how to do it, not just why to do it. and that was a big focus at shamal shake. i was there and i was able to participate in ways that i hadn't seen before, that we'd now know lots of things we can now do. so that opportunity, i think that, that, that the you, a event should now focus on the really important examples of how best to do this in a, an affordable why in a way that can help economies not harm them, which is what happens after that report. and peter newman, thank you for joining us from perf. thank you. now,
4:12 pm
chinese presents reaching pink has arrived in moscow for his 1st visit since 2019. he's described russia as a good neighbor under reliable partner. he's also commented that together, china and russia are ready to guard a world order based on international law. well ahead of the visit president, she wrote an in a russian newspaper that relations between the 2 countries were based on non alignment and non confrontation against 3rd parties. he also stressed that china is between reconciliation and peace in ukraine. an article by putin in china's people's daily accused the usaa following a strategy of double de terrance of russia and china. putin says it's becoming more acute and assertive. 20 years live for us from beijing. the 1st, let's get to bring in journalist julia shop of oliver from moscow. what can we expect them from the visit in terms of what the leaders will agree on?
4:13 pm
so we are waiting for president shooting pains 1st meeting with a russian counterpart. it's scheduled for 430 my time, meaning it can begin in about 30 minutes. so earlier on president, she received a very warm welcome at the airport as well as at the hotel and who's going to stay at a 5 star hotel here in northern part of moscow. the russian ukrainian conflicts is expected to talk to agenda, of course, according to kruchinin spokesman to me, trip west coast and will give she a 1st hand perspective on what's going on in ukraine as well as the russian official position on be events as well understand from like, you know, patients recent article in the chinese newspaper, he actually welcomes china's readiness to play a role in resolving the crisis and ukraine. the ukrainian conflict is now in the 2nd year and it doesn't show any signs of a bating. we know china presented a plan for a peaceful settlement of the conflict that it consists of 12 points,
4:14 pm
but it is considered to be to pro ration by ukraine, the west. so probably will be able to see some adjustments to that plan. also, the counts today, mutual economic and energy issues, of course, in 2022. the tray turnover between the countries increased set a percent reaching record $185000000000.00 and g to functionals impose and russia in connection with special mil show creation ukraine. we see that china has become rushes, largest economic partner, and the largest consumer, russian, oil and coal. it's also been mentioned that the part has been discussed. they increase roll over a national currency and trade processes. and there are other things to pay attention to like the power of siberia, gas pipeline, and new nuclear power units built in china with some a russian participation. so all these things are going to be addressed during the forthcoming meeting. so we're just going to keep you posted, of course. indeed, thanks very much for the up the ship of oliver in moscow. let's close to basing
4:15 pm
where katrina us standing by the course present. she is hoping to achieve something, but what for president, she didn't think looking to achieve several things during his visit to moscow this week. the 1st is expanding economic ties with russia. baked, ensuring up china is constant access to chief oil and gas of the page. and very much need it cost in return, they do provide russia with much needed economic lifeline in times of being sanctioned by many countries, including the u. s. in china is also looking sure of russia as a partner and strengthen its ties of moscow at a time when it's facing rising tension to the united states and its allies. it's very important for president. she didn't seem to have it in his color when it comes to defending china's activities in the global stage, for example, which is just it's activities around the south, tennessee, as well as around taiwan. and to that end,
4:16 pm
it's very important that no matter how this war hands out, russia or china, russia remain strong and but in the future remains a strong leader. and because of that, she didn't seem to be using the trip as a way to legitimize rushes war effort in your brain. well, the international community we have had aging time and time again, defend what it says are russia legitimate security concerns when it comes to ukraine? in nature and ultimately and finally, she can pay will be using this trip as a platform to store himself or the source of peace. and boy, china is looking at this moment to project itself as a global leader of liberal peace make an possibly a mediator. now whether it be successful doing that is a big question. the man was say that fading does not have enough leverage that you prayed. and of course said you will need to tread likely and want him to preserve its relationship with europe, which is very strong. which is very important between the economically and of course with russia. but at the end of the day, china wants to say, look,
4:17 pm
we've gone through russia, we're going to try to talk to russia about a c flyer encouraged dialogue, and we are an impartial and neutral player here. and that's definitely the message that china is going to be 3 to thanks very much for that update training either for sim basing. now russia has opened a criminal investigation into the international criminal court prosecutor and judges. the move comes 3 days after the ncc issued a warrant for the rest of present. vladimir putin over the ledge, deportation of children and ukraine, to russia. russia's investigative committee call the i. c. c. warranty, deliberate attack on an innocent person. meanwhile, the u. k. on the other ones are hosting an international conference to sharp support for the i. c. c. britain's justice secretary dominic rob said that the court's decision to issue an arrest warrant of putin was a historic moment in the war. that sentence a much stronger and more far reaching message right around the world to deswartz
4:18 pm
and dictate is everywhere that they will be brought to justice, that they will be held to account. and as we come together today, i hope and i believe it says to underline the importance of ensuring that the i c. c has every support for the crucial what that it is doing. escort served to joe hull, his monitoring events for us from london. and so it does seem jonah that with an eye on what might be said in moscow, european politicians certainly will be discussing how they can really help the i c . c. further yet 40 of them just as ministers gathered in lancaster house behind me hosted by the u. k. and the netherlands doing just that, talking about how they can boost the i c c's efforts to investigate war crimes in ukraine significantly. of course, as you said, coming just days after those a restaurant warrants were issued for president putin and his children's rights commissioner. and you talk about what might be said in moscow. well,
4:19 pm
moscow has not minced its words and has already roundly rejected the validity of those arrest warrants in a deep gone, a step further, its investigative committee, in fact, issuing a criminal case of its own against the court. the judges at the court am karim car, and the chief prosecutor cute prosecutor at the court, talking about the court deliberately unlawful action in instituting this case against mister putin ahead of state. it says that has absolute immunity from jurisdiction of any foreign state, so that his russia's position on all of this. but clearly that is the biggest move yet by the i c. c. these arrest warrants in their ongoing probes into war crimes. in ukraine, it will form the backdrop of everything that's being talked about dear. it raises significant questions. not least, of course, will president putin ever see the inside of a dock at the i? c. c. answer. not likely rusher is not a signatory to the court. of course, some countries that russia still does business with our however. so another question is, what happens in say,
4:20 pm
august when president putin is due to visit south africa for a summit of the bricks, countries, south africa is a signatory. and another question of course, is, how do we go ahead and boost at these countries, the work of the i, c. c, inside ukraine? it's ongoing probes there. all of that is to be discussed here. kareem khan said ahead of this summit the i c. c simply doesn't have unlimited resources, it does need help. but he outlined very clearly the court's commitment, saying if reliable evidence has been brought together and gathered, and if there is no exonerating evidence in mitigation, then criminal, then the court will not hesitate to act gentle with that update. thanks so much, jenna. there are plenty more had here on the news are including ah, please out enforcing kenny as the opposition holds demonstrations against the president and the rising cost of living. the white islands, parliament has been dissolved the head of a general election in may in sport,
4:21 pm
barcelona school. what could prove to be a decisive goal of the race to win the spanish lead time ah enormous risk for switzerland. that's how the leader of the 2nd biggest party in parliament has described the takeover of credit suisse by its main rival, u. b. s. the comments came at the end of a tense weekend as bankers regulators and government officials struggle to save the swiss lender credit suisse managers around $1.00 trillion dollars around the world . it's profits dropped significantly in 2022, all in the $8000000000.00 after losing $2000000000.00 in 2021. credit suisse shares have been and sharp decline since 2021. they've now lost more than 95 percent of their value in the past 5 years. investors took their money elsewhere last week and
4:22 pm
the banks main shareholder refused to offer financial help. and after that, even a $54000000000.00 lifeline from the swift central bank. couldn't stem the pessimism that left the buyout solution. once cbs acquires credit suisse, it'll have access to more than 5 trillion dollars in assets. the bankruptcy of a global, systematically important bank would have cost irreparable economic term oil in switzerland and throughout the world. for this reason, switzerland had to take the responsibilities beyond its own borders. these efforts have paid off. the federal council is convinced that u b. s. takeover of credits. this has laid the foundations for greater stability, both in switzerland and internationally, were less crossovers. leave barker in london with the very latest because reaction to the market says what everybody is keeping an eye on. neve and issues like this
4:23 pm
often have repercussions one way or another globally they certainly do, and it's been somewhat choppy across the whole of europe. i think is fair to say the stability house returned on news of this takeover. but sir, there's a war for lot of anxiety still in financial centers like london as seen, played out the european central bank share price is the wobbled, or the start of trading on monday, posted words, the bank of england. they feel that their confidence has been restored by this take over similar words over the united states, from the u. s. search treasury as well. i mean, who would have thought it leads to massive banking beer months now becoming one, a credit suisse, a 167 year old bank. it's been a prominent figure on international banking scenes for an incredibly long time. so we're charting an unknown path going forward for from all of this. but what we have seen in terms of the share prices of credit stories and g b. s is those her values falling credit suisse,
4:24 pm
and shes fully by 62 percent. and i expected you can probably imagine given what happened and according to financial experts, they believe that fall is large, the, the markets adjusting to what they see as you be asked is real belief in the value of those particular shares. and obviously you be as experiencing wobbles as well off the because for all of this uncertainty, there are still questions though about what's going to happen when it comes to the restructuring of credit suisse. particularly in a big center like london, where that bank employes roughly about 5000 people. ye be asked about 6200 people. we know according to the chairman of the b. s that there's going to be a degree of restructuring of streamlining what that means for huge banking workforce in both of these banks is, is unclear for the time being, but their failing is at least the when it comes to this in some way precipitating what we saw back in 2008 and the financial crash there. then there were at least said a much safer, stronger position. as of monday morning. the barker in london,
4:25 pm
thanks very much. now the french government is facing 2 motions of no confident saver present. merrinac rolls controversial pension reform bill protests had been held every night since the bill was announced 4 days ago. it would raise the minimum retirement age from $62.00 to $64.00. opposition has stiffened since the government invoked a constitutional power to allow it to pass without a vote in the national assembly. and ask him all this in paris from natasha butler . he standing by frisson. of course, those to no confidence votes means well, what does it mean? what can we expect or these are very tense times. you can probably see behind me the barricades they've been set up on the roads around the national assembly because of this political crisis. the ongoing protests, a lot of pressure on the french government, facing a to no confidence votes in parliament in a few hours. time one tabled
4:26 pm
a by the far right to parliamentary group, the other by group of independence. at this stage, it doesn't look as if they might get the numbers that they would need in order for those no confidence votes to be successful. however, if they were to be successful, what would happen is the, the president, him, i know michael would most likely have to scrap the pension reform bill and it have 2 options. either dissolve or the assembly and call for another election or reshuffle. the cabinet, i gray shoes, this is a sign that the french government is under an awful lot of pressure, not just in the streets, but also in parliament. and of course, with public patriots in those streets continuing. what more really can the public achieve except just to demonstrate let's say, but demonstrate to say that they want to try and put enough pressure and increase
4:27 pm
that pressure on the government so that they reform would be withdrawn. that is a, we're looking at another nationwide strike and process on thursday that has been caused by the trade unions. but there been protests against this reform ever since . the beginning of the ongoing, needing every day, some form of action somewhere by people who are simply unhappy with this pension reform bill, they say unfair, unjust. and they feel that the people are going to be the worse impacted all poor workers and women. a lot of people angry about that they're angry with the french person. no micro pulse suggest that his popularity has a low level. there's a lot of talk about this feeling very much like yellow effect movement of a few years ago when i was social on russian 15. 10 people upset, feeling that the company simply not found them. the government is out of touch with
4:28 pm
their concerns. government does faith this reform is necessary in order to sustain a very complex pension system for future generations, because we'll monitor that so the through the day natasha battle for us in paris. well, it's time for the webinar. his kara hello, they will have a look at africa in a moment, the 1st of the middle east and live and where the worst of the unsettled weather continues to. ling another area of low pressure across eastern areas of turkey has caused flooding. it's also brought in some very windy and wintry conditions. those are now moving across, move in areas of iraq into iran. we have got for warnings out for that. we could also see some flooding, a new jordan that says the rain continues to move its way further east, but it really is a story of wind on choose that you can see it pick up blowing down across saudi arabia, blowing into guitar. we could see a sandstorm pushing its way further south, and that's going to blow a lot of the rain that's been lingering around coastal areas of amman out to sea.
4:29 pm
now wind is also the story across the north of africa. we've got violent winds, with warnings, the western areas of libya as well as out syria, and she nidia, we're also seeing more inform of rain for eastern areas of libya. the time we get into wet and state, the rush of showers continues across the tropics of africa, some very heavy rain coming into coastal areas of tanzania and into mozambique. before the south is a much clearer picture. we'll see the wet and windy weather improve in cape town on wet and state. that weather will still had hill. there are moments protest in south africa against the rolling power cut, corruption, and unemployment. that is full read those rivals wondering what to do next up to the 2nd race of formula one season. ah. the latest news as it breaks. so thump is still the favorite here among the
4:30 pm
grassroots, and in many of the polls the be the republican presidential nominee with detailed coverage fire has stronger bob large back on the struggles based on daily basis by everyone here from around the world. fire that and go to the 1st to cause of this trade was so hot. it may have cremated the victims exactly where they were killed. actually, 2 actors at different stages of their lives. share the highs and lows of following dreams of fame and fortune. to commit whitaker, bicycle mother, endlessly seeking to filth and ambitions. with the arg was struggling with family expectations. bollywood dreams on our to sierra . oh
4:31 pm
i welcome back to the news i was the whole run the reminder of our top story. see you and his warning that the window of opportunity to be climate change is rapidly closing and uniform of extreme weather events that i think it was the world now to feel a livable future for all. so it's thanking john u. b. s. is buying out troubled credit suisse in a $3000000000.00 deal. the combined group will manage more than 5 trillion dollars worth of assets. and chinese president, cheating thing is in moscow for its 1st visit to 2019. the chinese leaders had basing and moscow good neighbors, unreliable partners. commit to, to welcome basing constructive role in trying to bring the conflict in ukraine. to
4:32 pm
an end, elizabeth lyra says the author of politics and scientists, contemporary china and an adjunct fellow at pacific for joining us live now for washington dc. good. have you with us desirous of the program? just wondering how careful president she has to be when talking trade deals or weapons sales to russia because he knows the west is watching. yeah, absolutely. so we have, we have found actually that china has been supplying on parts none. we non lethal weapons to russia already, and so the, you asked, as you know very much on to him on the he is they are certainly to burnish, is peace making credentials. and china has said that it's neutral in the conflict. even though it has been gaining and, you know, a lot of credibility and russia for giving it support. and so the united states in
4:33 pm
washington is watching very carefully to see if, as huge emptying pushes the ball any further. right now he's trying to be a peacemaker. and he's trying to be neutral, he says he's trying to be neutral on. but if he does go ahead with more aid then yes, the united states won't pose more sanctions against china, which will affect its trade situation. can i just pick up a point you just mentioned that about the non lethal items that china has either sold or given to russia? can you just expand on that for us, please? yes, it appears it has been giving it drone technology has sent advisors over to advise on strategy as well as tactics that there appears to be there might be more deals in the works right now. the united states is not completely clear on that. of course, we're relying on intelligence to get that information on the china. china certainly does not want to see russia lose. this war. she's in pain and
4:34 pm
important have said that they have a very close relationship, a relationship of no boundaries. and so, china is essentially playing the russia card against the united states, china and russia for all their differences are ally in against the united states and the west. and she's in pain cannot afford to lose russia to russia, to turn out to be like a very weak partner. that is not an asset to china at all. it's glass to unseat the united states from its role as global leader. of course, a with conflict to one sodomy trying to receive sort of downplayed the growth potential of its own sector, 25 percent growth. and in the coming year, recession is what really it's fighting against and fighting for survival. so doesn't want to risk that because it does need big trading partners like the u. s. yes, that is true. and it has certainly picked up a large trading partners in southeast asia,
4:35 pm
