9:10 pm
of people arriving in south dawn are trying to get here to a port in police. those are to meet the fighting incident on days or weeks before them told them to come here and board evacuation plans. i knew him a little while came from saddam's capital cartoon. she says she's been stuck at the airport for more than a week. i have 4 kids. it's been hard and pushing through the crowd to get on a plane. living here is rough. there's no shelter, water. oh, adequate toilet facilities uses the the government the government size agencies a more than $30000.00 refugees and the 10 these have reached out to done, but not everyone is registered and numbers of thought to be higher. so that's why we always seem to get into adoptive areas,
9:11 pm
because most of the models of sales are done are varied. amount of interest, such as meaning, new arrivals came with very few belongings or money. they need help to get to way they need to go to the people that the way they say they want to get out of the options available. more people are still crossing the border. this group assignments i'll be taken to receive the temp they've managed to get out of sit on, but like so many others they faced and uncertain future. had them tossed out of the pollutes south to the island. i spoke to then the then mother who says to don's acting minister for foreign affairs, and i asked him about the humanitarian situation for refugees. the 1st and foremost seduce a model. it was supposed to be the jo government also so done to 1st receive those
9:12 pm
well crossing toward the what did, what is it that we have with give them but then we have a be to the to nursing and you didn't urgency for them to be able to join the end of the government to give support to these particular people up crossing from. so then you made according to those we have come for them. so done. some of them have you been know delta blanket legal. don't those thing if a person know it's best to go to the if they don't have them with the closing or even passport an idea, then we're left. and so we have us a lot of international identities. and today is that soon as the presence of a good way of you at a telephone call from the united nation is done. and they have discussed about this particular situation. last week of december also met with bridget,
9:13 pm
a facility of united nation in duban. and they have discussed this particular situation for but it just has to be able to to be the need to support those welcoming folks to them. so let me ask you about the talks that are currently going on in jetta obviously says to don has a particular type of relationship with. so don, is there any effort that size to don is able to make to try to bring some sort of, um, pause at the very least or a solution to the crisis that is going on and sit down at the moment. a one 1st and foremost. so like what sort of shared with you today is that a supervisor, somebody see, especially at envoy, but as the president of the ship us one of the. so what is the concept of saddam's use? and this was an invoice uh with the laptop. but instead of keeping me, i also would submit you mentioned during the few years i've been told and could you
9:14 pm
would come, did you want to help in the end and bring about this in the protocol so that you'll also be coming your success. the president brought what they call good to or agreement. so president self, i have a very, especially contact with the, with the to yes, continue to call their responsibility opinion, what else was the hub and it meant to because the war country have destroyed, you know, so that a diffusion, obviously done. but as in the head and never and child, the government says it expects to receive a 100000 refugees of international mediation, fails on that off fears that it could become the next flash point for violence. and the region is english driving reports from the capital gym in the battle of hard to a fight for she does category, could ignite conflicts across the continent. that is the view enabling checked the
9:15 pm
land lock nation in the heart of africa is politically fragile. from its own rebellion a few years ago. so despite tens of thousands of refugees streaming across its eastern border from dun and more on the way, the real where a child's leader say, is maintaining national security comes out of the company. so let's go ahead utilize, once a conflict endures, it plunges a country into chaos. it leads to armed groups. that's a formation of factions that are uncontrollable by the state. and it also impacts the economy. if the conflict in sudan continues chad will have many security problems within a country western allies hope could some day be an oasis of stability, began expanding military spending even before the price of 6 of the chad really is a place that is boxed in by conflicts south west, just across the river, behind me, is come a route. now fighting there a few years ago displaced tens of thousands of refugees who are still here in the
9:16 pm
capitol to the north along the border with libya as well as to the south. and central african republic are armed rebel groups that want to overthrow the current government and to the west along the borders with nigeria, the chair and again come a room. the arms group, vocal her on remains very active in such a dangerous neighborhood, the government has prioritized secured, but human rights group say what was meant to be a transitional government is consolidating power. the best way to guarantee regional safety. right now, analysts say is a ceasefire. and cartoon, it's not just a frightening about so that it might be a fighting that we generalize very easily. so it's about calling the 2 parties to have everything that goes beyond their own position. so the issue with the future of so don and do it if you just leave you names, but also the future of the what region in the core of the discussions they might be
9:17 pm
chat, state and civil society would mean deeply divide but tend to agree that war insides into done should take it out, not fight it, because it seems what happens in so you don't, will not stay into the same bus route. the o g, a 0 jemina check is probably going to head on the news are including russian military steps up here starts and ukraine ahead of i knew victoria day celebrations onto the climate change for the reasons of baseball findings are seen more from what it was that story coming off the sport, the chinese government has suffered a major setback after a vote to elect advisors to draft a new constitution. and a blow for left as president is gabrielle bondage. far right, republicans and other conservative parties took more than 50 percent. the polls
9:18 pm
were held off to another proposed josh that was rejected last year. our latin america edited to see and human reports in the capital santiago. replacing the constitution left behind by chiles, formerly military dictatorship, is turning out to be much more difficult than anyone could have predicted. chileans went back to the pole sunday to elect a new constitutional council that they hoped would do a better job than the previous one. was draft charter they rejected last september for being to radical government. we need to reach a balance consensus so that everyone is happy with the results. i'm like, last time might keep that and more quality, more modern rules with a more modern vision of society in the constitution. and that's what i hopeful, but that's likely to happen. if the previous counsel was dominated by the far left, this time it will be under the control of the right and for right together that clinched more than 30 of the 50 delicate seats enough to pass any constitutional
9:19 pm
norm they propose on their own choose republican party the most conservative of both will now be the leading political force and their most voted candidates lucila told me they've never wanted to replace the dictatorship era constitution. mister booth. the, our starting point. you have this process allows us to introduce new aspects to it that we believe our constitution deserves. we can mother and nice fundamental rights like on our privacy and internet issues and misers to stabilize our political system. the results could have been different, but 20 percent of votes will know or blanked ballots believe. to have been cashed mostly by progressive chileans who are unhappy with the process. a team of legal experts appointed by congress has already presented, motivated proposals that include better recognition of social rights,
9:20 pm
such as education, health, care, and pensions. but these can be modified or rejected by the new body. the council will have a very short time to draft the charger only 4 months. then it will be put to the vote again in a referendum on december 17th. should the text to be found wanting surely will have lost the last opportunity for a long, long time, to finally eliminate the last important symbol of its former military dictatorship . and it would be an irony, particularly this year, as surely commemorates the 50, sent over 3 of the crew that gave birth to the constitution that so many fine. and it didn't it see in human out to 0 something. yeah, well obviously is whether it's not alive from the capital. this is a real up here, but then she lays politics isn't notice here, it's really an earthquake of political earthquakes that i think it would. there was
9:21 pm
an inkling that the, the conservatives, of course, were going to do very well, but nothing like this. what we're seeing now is the disappearance of the political center and what's been left out of the extremes. the extreme expand right, more extreme than we've ever had before. certainly since the dictatorship and the left it in fact, the 2nd most voted candidate was from the julian communist party. joining me to talk more about what's happened here and what the implications are in the short and medium term is past. sabbath is, she is an international lawyer and political analysts. last, thank you for being with us. tell me, what do you believe is? first of all what, what, what is the we are take away from this how, what is going to happen to a country that only a year ago had voted for a center and left coalition. and that's left a government that is practically now been left without any further moves. it's. it's been a super a people, hasn't it? yes, i think i think my take away is that people have very short term memory. and right
9:22 pm
now they are priority is security. and also a policy that is against migration, and this is why the extreme right office and they have really put in the 2nd or 3rd place that concerns about welfare intentions, education and health care. they are priority is what they've stream right, is, is apple frank. and that means that's actually even the constitutional concern to draw a new text for a new t less is also not important at the moment. but what, what this uh, the republican party in your view represents especially it's neat or jose antonio guest. what basically they represent is this, this coal, without much elaboration and without much expertise for nativism, it's against the united nations. is that kind of a, that is in a year ago when he was the presidential candidates, he says, i will pull out of the united nations on my guess, he does a single development goals or things that are really well stablish. and a part of
9:23 pm
a consensus built over 30 years by the front, the right of the center left. right now that's nothing the right, there's nothing to left only the extremes. like you said. and actually, you know, 5050 years after the cool. the task is a concern that we may be stuck not only with the text represent that the rest of the house within the even more conservative states where human rights and international relations. maybe if they what are you hearing from the international community? i know that you've been in touch with a lot of people outside of chilly. and i, like you said, no one expected the big stream, right to really take over the way that it is. and then you go into a new prescription or convention. but also that way that they will still, it will. they will start at the gym that towards what, you know, what they are offering the electra. and that, that will be know much progress or maybe not progress at all. concerning the social agenda for it. so you have a lame zack who is just going in to the 2nd. yes,
9:24 pm
there's 3 more years to go. and it doesn't look like you will be able to fulfill any of his promise. that's what the census, you know fit in, wishing a wave of disappearances of the center of the more motivated for switching politics, aren't we? yes. there is a global movement. that is right, that vertical icing, the electra right. and that puller, i say politics and many countries in the western world that's for sure is a fact that on the other hand, i think there's also some, some space that the right wing on the left wing need to, you know, be fake and make the most of it to think what they should have done better so you know, not to prevent the if so 2 or 2 full so dialogue julia has been soft for us full 30 years because of the dialogue between different and now the recent match. well, thank you. past saturday for your thoughts, there is
9:25 pm
a speaking of dialogue. we did hear from the leader of the republican party that they are going to stick to their guns, and it's more, it's expected that many of the more shall we say more moderate right wing parties will lose their leadership and will probably, or could likely join them so there are going to be a lot of changes in this country in the medium and long term factors. you, let's see in human incense, you're going to see a thank you very much. i. it was back as soon as president shuffle got mister jo as high as cold as snap election for july and august. when comes a week after constitutional amendments were approved and a referendum included extending the presidential time from 5 to 7 years. the changes mean that's a, you'll have to to remain in office until 2040 predicts and the vote like the participation of a meaningful opposition. the president says he wants another monday before making further changes. then you are the, comes the in the car into climate where acute complex processes are prevalent in

lack of precipitation this year really created this mix. so that created the extreme virus that we entered a fire band a week before this fire broke out in the county. the arrival of more favorable weather conditions in the south has allowed firefighters to reach previously inaccessible areas, but conditions remain difficult in the north and the neighboring british columbia. where authorities one hot and dry conditions, a jew to return in the coming days and confer the fuel the flames. that's prompted more orders to evacuate people from their homes and to see if they could be move while fires to come. car leg, i'll just 0. are going to bring in keys to it is a senior energy strategist, that green piece canada is a climate policy research as well. and he's joining his life in toronto, canada. so thank you very much indeed for being with us. when people are in a situation like this, does this help to focus people's attention on the argument around climate change, or does it prove almost to be a distraction from it?
9:40 pm
so years ago we said ok now is not the time to talk about in the middle east crisis, but i think we've increasingly in canada and around the world, we're recognizing that actually this is the time because if you don't talk about it in the middle of these types of events, you know, obviously our 1st priority has to be making sure people are safe, getting that the safety supporting the front line workers. because, you know, people are losing their homes and it's terrifying. it's. and i know that that is the 1st party, but if we want to avoid having this become the new normal happening all the time, we need to address climate change because data is what's driving. we've always had wildfires in canada, but they're becoming more common. they're becoming bigger and our scientists are telling us that's because of climate change. and right now actually the province of alberta is in the middle of they just started a provincial election. and they've actually had to put campaigning on hold and a half dozen writings because of the wildfires. and what i'm hoping is that the, the talk of the energy transition of moving to renewable energy will become part of
9:41 pm
the election debate. because i think it's really important or elected officials space up to these problems square on the current premium of the province who you heard earlier. you know, really doesn't want to talk about climate change. but i think voters are going to be saying, hey, what is your plan for preventing these, these type, this type of situation becoming worse and more common in the future. this isn't a situation that there is or kind of to find it that hasn't happened in canada before it has happened and i'm increasing the regular basis for reports on it here and, and i'll, i'll just say don't. why is it that there is an avoidance in, in your opinion, all political parties, to talk about climate change when it clearly is beginning to affect the lives of a great many people. and so that the, you know, an inverted neighboring british columbia, which is also had a problem with, while far as recent years. you know, the, it is actually a core part of the political debate. and in fact, or justifying a bunch of their climate measures on the grounds of, you know, look at the, the impact is having and it's not just people whose homes are affected, but also just the,
9:42 pm
the smoke from the wildfires is making the air and breathable. you know, bird, it's a tricky situation because the, the core of the economy, there is the oil and gas industry. it's the largest employer. um, canada is one of the largest oil exports in the world. and almost all of that oil comes from alberta, the oil industry, there is incredibly powerful and they, in particular, you know, the companies are, don't want to have this talk to this debate switch to that here. we know what's causing the underlying problem of this, which is burning fossil fuels. and so i think for a lot of politicians they would, they, in alberta, in particular they, they tend to tread very carefully because they're worried about upsetting. you know, the most powerful economic force in the province, and i think we have an ongoing battle in some cases between the alberta government, the federal government, which is more interested in pursuing action on climate change was alberta that the governments are off to see themselves as the defender of the industry and they sort of equate what's good for oil is good for alberta, but i think that's one of the things that has to change in terms of our political culture. if we're good, actually gets serious about addressing this problem. and when we come to covering
9:43 pm
a lot of the, the international discussions that are held about climate change, governments, as i'm sure you will note, will make promises many of which tend to be several years down the line. essentially there's always been that accusation that they, they simply kick the can down the road, is an argument for saying that we're actually focusing on the wrong thing. that instead of focusing as much as we are on trying to reduce climate change and fixing his article, this climate change, what we should actually be focusing on is trying to learn to live with it so that people are protected from the kind of conditions that we're seeing in canada the moment and so there's really 3 things we can do about climate change. we can reduce emission, so the problem doesn't get worse. we can adapt to the changes, it can't be avoided or we can suffer. and i think the problem right now is in many governments, the choices the, the, the unspoken choice to increase suffering by not doing, say, what the 1st thing we need to both adapt and avoid the worst impacts of climate
9:44 pm
change. because there are changes that you simply cannot adapt to. um, i think, you know, the type of heat we're seeing across asia right now that you were talking about earlier. and you know, email berta just before the election, the governing party there released their climate plan, which actually wasn't a plan at all. they didn't have any new measures. they didn't have any targets beyond. they said that they had a aspiration of being that through by 2050. they had no plan to achieve it. they didn't say they were going to do it. they'd simply said, yeah, would that, that would be nice if that happened. and i think that just isn't good enough anymore. i think we're, we're starting to see real movements from some other governments across canada. it's still not enough. but i think the, the inertia that we're seeing because of the kind of like that industry, industry anchor against moving more aggressively on getting off of fossil fuels is a big political challenge here. but this is no longer a future problem. you know, we used to talk about climate change as something's gonna affect her grandchildren . i think people are seeing the impacts in their own lives right now in those
9:45 pm
images that people seeing their homes. um, 2 years ago in british columbia, we'd record breaking seat, followed by an entire town being burned to the ground. these are the kinds of things that are happening now. it's not just a future problem and we need to start taking that action aggressively to both avoid the worst of impacts of climate change and adapt to the changes that are already here. really interesting, get your thoughts on this case to it. thank you very much indeed. for being with us . thank you very much. i a problem in the drug dealer and his family have been killed in an air strike and southern sylvia now runs on his wife and 6 children were targeted in all school. a province near the border was jordan. the city and it was advocate for human rights, says jordan counted out at the strikes a month has not confirmed it was responsible on is a case of smuggling drugs including caps are going to come to going was a stimulant, widely used during the 19 sixties and seventies to treat people with mental health conditions. in 1986, it was banned by the w h o because it's addictive,

9:47 pm
syria has some given their agency over the coptic on trade, they do have some space for action to change their behavior and to reduce cap to gone smuggling operations throughout the region. whether that's going to happen though is another is another question, but it's very clear that they're using cop to gone eyes, that quote, goodwill gesture, kind of a low hanging fruit for cooperation and coordination with the syrian regime, including the regime and high level discussions, let alone investigations and working groups, i mean that's going to be very difficult to actually stem the trade given that they are behind the most of the supply, the bulk and 80 percent of the supply. and that's really giving them a window into counter narcotics efforts in the region and will allow their smugglers to adopt more advanced techniques. so including the regime i think is going to make it even more difficult and even more challenging for these countries . this done the flow of the trade. i think that another thing that many countries

nickel i. your kids couldn't inspire the denver nuggets to win in their western conference. semi final, the serbian scored $53.00 points and managed to 4 phoenix on zone or not. it should be out in the green jacket there. during 4 of the series. it was all for nothing though, as a sounds took the game and this series is tied at 2 games a piece. use the situation. i think it's crazy that nicole got technical foul on the situation. he's going to get the ball and some, some fans holding onto the ball. he wants to be part of the game. just just get the ball up, man, you know, mean, and, you know, they, they deem the call of doing something that was excessive. i guess when i get in the tech, but i still don't really understand it. now the number of home runs being hit in major league baseball games is on the rise. nobody seems entirely sure why, but according to a new study, climate change could be playing a role. gabriel, alexander reports from new york game for baseball fans home runs or

a highlight of the game. and statistics showed that the number of home runs hit during baseball games has been on the rise. certainly because of climate change. and that's according to a new report by scientists at dartmouth college. we use data on a over a 100000 baseball games, showing that warmer temperatures increase the number of home runs in baseball games on a day to day basis. the 2nd component of our study ties this, the climate change and shows the increased temperature is over the last 10 years to produce almost more than $500.00 home runs total. already. that number will continue to grow in the future with potentially hundreds more home runs per year. if temperatures continue in 2018 major league baseball commission to study led by 10 scientists to determine what was leading to the increase in home runs, they could not reach a definitive conclusion. but ultimately,
9:57 pm
a lot of their research led back to this, the baseball small changes and how baseballs are manufactured, potentially increase aerodynamic capabilities. they took them and threw them into tumble drivers, which is kind of interesting. so you got a ball it really flattened, the seemed to me, the boss are much more spiritual. the drive went down, travel even farther. but perhaps it's not just about the ball and not just about climate change. some baseball experts point to other contributing factors as well, like a better understanding of swing mechanics, strength training, and smaller ballparks where players don't have to heat it as far to get a home run. but in the end, it makes little difference. as long as home runs are being hit, fans don't mind either way. gabriel was on don't. i would just need a new york and things got
