with either side, willing to negotiate because the ukraine war becoming a forever war is america's global leadership, increasingly fragile. what will us politics look like? as we headed the presidential election of 2024, acquitted us politics, the boston line, the a rounded slide. so the l. a small sized smoke from canada, fix tens of millions in the united states, the until mccrae. this is held to 0 live from the hot. and so coming up you crying and brush your accuse. each other of showing emergency work is in the southern coast on region the at least for

children and at all into the into nice attack and eastern fronts. i'm gabriel's on the in new york where the tribe becca film festival kicks off with a record number of women filmmakers. that story coming up, the slides have been disrupted on the us east coast by smoke. from canadian wildfires and bound funds to new york and philadelphia were affected, a quality eludes had been issued in 15 us states. canada is on track for as west wild 5 season on record. but from what we're going to go to, kristen salumi, who is in new york for us, and for some this is now coming into the suit a of a quality alerts. i mean, is there any sign at all with this? my hands,

the yeah, this isn't over yet. it is the 3rd day of air quality alerts in new york. you can see the manhattan skyline. behind me. i'm actually standing in new jersey and it's still quite hazy. this morning feels a little bit better than it did yesterday at its worst. you don't taste the smoke when you breathe in the air, but officials are warning. things are going to get worse as the day goes on and it is, the air quality continues to remain of elevated levels here. and as he said around uh, 15 other states in the northeast of the united states as well. uh, you know, for new york, new jersey where i am here, it's having an impact on outdoor events. in new york city, all outdoor city sponsored events were canceled. schools had a pre scheduled day off today, but elsewhere here in new jersey for example, schools are not having outdoor events that's continuing as well. and the big impact

now is on air travel. as you mentioned, the flights in to new york. uh, seeing delays to uh, in some canceled here in new new jersey. the newer to airport has now canceled all inbound flights because of the weather conditions and because of the lack of disability because of all the smoke in the air. and, and so the impact on people continues into climate change experience warning events like this. going to become more common place. yeah, that's what people are talking about now is this goes into the 3rd day uh, wildfires and canada are not unusual. this time of year it's pretty standard operation. but because of the drought light conditions and rising temperatures, the fires have been more intense and worse, and scientists are predicting that this is going to become more and more common as

the planet warms. and we had the secretary general of the united nations, of course, un headquarters, right in new york city. he tweeted a picture of himself looking out over the smoky landscape of the city from you and headquarters, making that point that this is what we're in store for. and this is what the world needs to unite together to fight at the climate. organizations are also sending out a lot of press releases talking on social media. this is the climate crisis is what uh, 350 that org is saying they point out the fact that the millions of people are now dealing with dangerous air pollution levels. while at the same time fossil fuel companies are seeing record high profits. so a lot of officials are trying to use this as a rallying cry. now that something that is affecting people's daily lives that is linked to climate change is happening. the governor of new york just this morning

said this requires all of us to work together all states and internationally as well. indeed, thank you so much. that is kristen salumi for us in new york. ellen fisher is in washington dc with how the smoke is affecting things there, or what new york go yesterday we are getting here, but today it's moving down the east coast. so the likes of philadelphia and baltimore in washington are going to be impacted. it's going to stretch as far down as north carolina, which is virginia is the next deep down, and then north carolina. so you can see just how big a media this is coveted. it's impacting on the quality and area of quality is measured on a scale from 0 to over 300 a normally, if it's under 50, does it things are pretty healthy and it's good if it's about 200, then that's you to be very unhealthy at the moment in washington, it's around 320 so you can see just how high of the pollution in the is caused

by these fires. and did you say lights have been impacted at laguardia? there was a growing stop at philadelphia. there was a growing stop. the have been lifted the problems that new or the 3 airports around washington expected the experience delay. certainly there have been delays in la guardia and new york new. what about the lease of on average 35 minutes? put some flights with the lead up to an older and more that has a huge impact throughout the rest of the country. because here in america, a lot of people don't just fly from one place to another. they're normally on connecting flights. so that becomes an issue. and in schools, well, no one's getting out for recess is because they have no one's going for their, their break. all the children are being held in doors after school activities are being canceled because the air quality is no great. and in new york last night, some theater shoes were cancelled at that could be an issue here in the coming coming hours as well. is so busy with a president,
