9:00 pm
the mayor of the city and now said he was doing away with the cost that was supposed to get everybody off of this international perspective with the human touch zooming way in and then pulling back out again. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world to what we've been using kind of calls that matter to you, the, [000:00:00;00] the hello i'm 0 venue. it's great to have you with us. this is the news our lives from doha, coming up in the program today protecting the amazon rain forest. brazil hosts a summit to tackle this enormous challenge understand human invalid in brazil, where and amazon nations,
9:01 pm
somebody is about to begin cousin to do that. that scene of a is posting that he's cut deforestation by half. what are those could just fix this evening? it doesn't, isn't missing it. see, after 2 boats packed with migrant st. coffee, italian coast and the u. k starts housing, the 1st group of migrants in a barge and its latest controversial immigration policy. also the regional west african block eco, was says, it will meet on thursday to discuss the qu in new share. i suggest a close it to your space and on piece assembly with your school. it's co host australia all into the quote, finals of the women's world cup. and the joint made by european champions, england scraped through, eating nigeria in a payment was issued to the brazil is about the hosted to day summit about tackling this enormous challenge.
9:02 pm
which ultimately, if it's all life on earth, and that is how to protect the amazon rain forest, which in turn helps fight climate change. the latest data shows a major reduction in the amount of trees being cut. then we're going to be talking about that. now the amazon ring far spans 8 countries and al jazeera is live across the amazon. theresa bo is in the house, san jose that was the out in columbia. manuel republic was reporting from santa cruz bolivia. first the we'll start with lucy, a newman in berlin, brazil, where the summit is going to be held. now let's see a deforestation. one of the major issues at this summit, you're invalid, and protecting the rain forest is also a priority for the brazilian president's of the yes, it certainly is protected in the rain forest also means protecting the 30000000 people that live in it, at least in brazil, 11000000 families here are going hungry, they're very, very,
9:03 pm
very poor. so for the day it is stopping or reducing deforestation investing is definitely not burning or chopping down trees. that means also finding ways for people to live in a sustainable way and also to replace the legal and legal activities that take place in this area that includes gold, mining, capital, farming, lumber, a whole series of possibly also oil exploration and exploitation. all of those are things that will be discussed in the summit, and a lot of them will affect right where i am right now. and you, what you see behind me is part of the amazon ribbon. berlin is the, is called the mouse of the amazon. and it is surrounded by 6 rating forest, and so the people here have been meeting their concern. they want to know what the head says, things are going to do to not only improve or help preserve their lives
9:04 pm
. unit says that that starts by ending deforestation, but can he pull it off the environmental protection agency inspectors helicopter into a remote national park in the amazon state of florida with thousands of heads of cattle have been raised illegally there, now being confiscated. but it's too late for the rain forest, which has already been cleared in the general mind me and did you deserve joyce government task force sweeps in to destroy the gold mining assets. while in the city has been in inspectors, check out a lumber yards timber to ensure it comes from an legal source before being shipped to england next week, a little excessive that the sosa hits the environmental agency, bama in the state of florida, which is the size of angola pieces that under former president jade bolts, donato illegal capital farmers, and longer is operated freely. this one way from this, which was quite the ones that were available for a lot of. in the previous 4 years,
9:05 pm
we faced the opposition of the president himself. he joins social networks that criminals to part in to say that the bama couldn't police them. our agents were attacked and received death threats. but the tide has shifted. environmental protection or tuesdays are receiving more financial and political support from the new government. and it's making a difference. satellite data shows a decrease of nearly 60 percent in deforestation compared to the same period last year. it's the lowest drop in 6 years, but still much higher than between 20082017. and i think it's kind of look, this is where they've been starting to mock the area they will play. this was in may and a month later in june, all the treat you seem to pick area have been removed. that's equivalent to 750 myra kind of football stadiums. brazil's new left when government says it's committed to combat in climate change and reversing deforestation in the amazon.
9:06 pm
but it's easier said than done results. congress is controlled by the conservative opposition. in fact, the lower house has already passed a bill that would open up protected areas to commercial interest, such as oil mining and logging. should the senate pass that bill as well? then president luna said was promised to reach 0 deforestation by the end of this decade would be a moot point. so there's, there's pressure from powerful sectors in the economy as well as some local communities to fast track investment and development in the amazon. the issue is finding ways to do so without destroying it, to see and human al, jazeera berlin. i think i am not having trouble hearing you, but let me just let me just sitting by saying that finding ways to name me legal activities that are taking place in the area to see little ways to process and finding the competitive. and so the people that live here is something that has
9:07 pm
noticed leaders fingerprints in a case. now that is one point to another. now, because crime is rise, we can just simply come to the amazon region and brazil at least one level change or is the parts of the country. all right, let's see a newman and beloved brazil. thank you very much that spring and theresa bo, she's joining me live now from san jose to one. yeah, that's in columbia. so in columbia, theresa, protecting the rain forest means also dealing with the arm groups that live in it as well. that's correct, correct. the columbia has been struggling with violence with conflict between paramilitary groups left when guerrillas fights between security forces and gorillas. and this area used to be protected in a way because the left wing guerrillas were occupied large parts of this area. back in 2016, there was a peace agreement with the left wing rebel group, the fark. and when they started to withdrawal from this area,
9:08 pm
that's when fires and boom goals. so starting with being and there was a massive destruction all around this that right. i'm right now here. and the water . yeah. the river. we were just seeing some pink golf, things around this area. some other types of birds. among other things, this area is bio diversion. this river needs all the way to, but it's willa. and from here, brazil does. it is an echo system filled with jungles with biodiversity. with streams and river and it's all connect and whatever happens here happens uh it has an impact on another country. and that's why this summit, it is so important, precedent will spell a bit that will allow me a 1st left wing precedent, came to power with a promise to invite the environment he's going to be. he's a priority that he's going to botto before a station that he's going to invest heavily in the wrong way that we have some long indigenous communities among those who leave him places such as this one. he's also hoping to ban drilling old wheeling in the amazon gun, he says,
9:09 pm
the trillions of dollars need to be invested in order to put it to protect this part of the world. he's hoping for example, to replace what are known as a but a debt swap. between a debt talk between those who invest heavily in climate action, for example, among many other things. so there's lots of the attention about what is happening in the land. what is going to be discussed in those countries. and what is interesting also is that for the 1st time, columbia is carrying out and go see comes with the left wing who's set continue to be in this area, their decision groups, among others. there's negotiations on going on for the 1st time. the environment is part of the negotiations. this is the vast what the added region, columbia stored to the amazon green forest. it was relatively safe from deforestation until 2016. but when the peace process with the left, his career less known as the fark was signed, the fire example, those are starting to multiply everywhere. it does that. so when we get into my georgia environmental already or what data says,
9:10 pm
things started to change last year. i'm comfortable with, there is a change in government and they say the environment is a main priority. the possibility of changes in land laws and line distribution has generated expectations and are the routes of conflict. we travel to talk to those affected by war and we're trying to help fight deforestation which in the past year was reduced by nearly 30 percent. 50000 hector's of land was spared for the 1st time in years. the government of all that will fit there is trying to implement what is known as a told her piece plan with several of the armed groups that continue to operate in areas like this one in for. you'll notice right now, negotiating a peace agreement with a national liberation army, a gorilla organization were for the 1st time the environment is part of the agreement in an attempt to put an end to the destruction of columbia as forest. even though a peace agreement was signed with bark rebels,
9:11 pm
dissident groups continue to control this area. and in the town of thought to where they ordered people to gather, to discuss their contribution to the rebel group. the people here tell us the green, let's have bend all sorts of deforestation says, precedent go that will pay through to golf is in an attempt to secure a peace dialogue with the government seeing if they come and tell us to not destroy and that we need to care for the environment. of course we are afraid. there's also this mentality that if we don't stop destroying the forest at the 1st will destroy us for several years. different administrations have implemented project if we conversion programs. modification is part of a group that makes pastries or other products with fluids, from the amazon get into casing it and we do not have the resources to a forest. but we are going to preserve many of those who cut down cheese do it because it's part of the livelihood. and that is what has started to change a. everyone here knows that piece and the small trans and reducing deforestation in
9:12 pm
the past year are fragile. they say the government and the international support our crew show right now to make them left. but it's, i will, i just see that we had in columbia is and what is at stake and our place is such as this one. you can see the heron slide behind me just a few minutes away. we're able to see some pink dole fans all around and swimming around where we are. a single cell will be through came to office with a big and vicious agenda transform area, such as this one to start protecting them, to start empowering community into surviving. also by protecting the environment we're going to have to see whether he's able to achieve for many of those policies because he's facing a struggle with within government. so there's a dispute within his coalition. he's also being investigated because his son was accused of money laundering along many other things and that's why, oh, so he's going to be traveling to whitland. he's also seeking international support
9:13 pm
to be able to carry out this agenda. and what many here are hoping for. it's a todd document, a come on agenda in order to start protecting this part of the world. all right, teresa, thank you very much for your reporting. and as you point out, all of these countries, domestic politics are going to in one way or another, play into how much of an agreement they can find on these amazon issues. thank you very much. teresa and we did catch a glimpse of the dolphins. by the way. let me turn to mind while we're apollo. you're in santa cruz in bolivia, so many 50 percent of bolivia is rain. forest. one understands pretty easily. therefore, the deforestation for bolivia is an existential question. almost how do they handle it? this this is a massive issue here in bolivia, serial. good to be with you and it's gonna be hard to compete with that live shop. we don't have a pink dolphins behind us, like uh, theresa bo does out in columbia,
9:14 pm
but we do in our line of sight, our team can see a 3 totes law. so, you know, we've got a pretty good spot here out in the tempered forest. this is what's known as a transitional force in the outskirts of the amazon base. and, and like you said, maybe perhaps people don't necessarily think of bolivia when they think of the amazon rain force. but of about 50 percent of the country's national territory is amazon is amazon for us. so you can imagine how important this issue is in particular for for bolivia. now when we talk to people here, especially in indigenous communities, folks who live in the, in the areas of, of the reinforce itself, the fires that ravaged the amazon rain forest in 2019 are still very much pressure on the minds of people here. upwards of 4000000 acres of forest were destroyed here in brazil. so you can imagine how important this is for bolivia to, to find a multilateral strategy to combat climate change, to combat drought, to combat the many threats that faced the rain forest. here in bolivia now there is another area of particular interest for bolivia,
9:15 pm
which is combat in organized crime that operates within the borders of the different countries that that are found within the amazon basic. this is something that bolivia cannot do by itself on combat. what's known in these parts as norco, deforestation. this is a clearing of large swats of rain for us to make room for elicit cultivation is to make room for illegal mining. so this is something that's very, very important right now at this summit taking place in belgium, brazil. but of course just one of many issues that are going to be brought up during the summit in brazil. so many, what do you think we can expect from this summit on this issue of deforestation briefly, please the right, what we've been speaking to, to folks from the indigenous communities, environmental activists who, while they're not necessarily hopeful, and the policies implemented here nationally, the lessons learned from uh, 2019 have not been transformed into meaningful policy here nationally. but there is
9:16 pm
a lot of hope that something meaningful could come out of this summit happening in, in berlin, brazil. but indigenous communities here say that there is a secret weapon here in bolivia, which is the communities themselves. they're taking the lead in conservation efforts and partnering with academic institutions with non governmental organizations to leave discharge. and what they're referring to as a global change of consciousness when it comes to uh, amazon reinforce conservation, mental over palo in bolivia. thank you so much that you're reporting the at least 30 people are missing. it's the 2 overcrowded migrant both saying coffee and tell him coast this happened near the island of lump into the the 2 vessels, the part in from each and is in port city of specs. on thursday, the time coast guard says that it has recovered to bodies and rescue dozens of people. italy is experiencing
9:17 pm
a surgeon migration with close to double the number of arrivals this year compared to last. well, hold on them. i don't need reports from lump. it was a, the rescue operations have stopped because of high winds and it's rough. a seas is estimated at about 13 people are still missing and hopes to find their bodies are diminishing by the day. this weather conditions should continue for the next 2 days. now the number of illegal migrants who have reached italy so far this year is around $80000.00. that's more than the double in the number at the same time. last year. these are all vessels that have been confiscated by the italian coast guard. since april alone are you can see on board of them, you have closed. you have live savers. a traces of people who were in dire conditions and were rescued. now prime minister, georgia, maloney had ran on
9:18 pm
a ticket to curb illegal migration. so far it doesn't seem to work, even though she has diminished considerably the number of rescue boats that go out at sea to save these migraines. and she's also using the political track just 2 weeks ago, she had a migration conference in rome to which the it's amusing president attended. and the 2 countries signed the memorandum of understanding by which it totally would give around a $100000000.00 to tunisia. and then returned to egypt with curb the amount of departures from his tours towards southern italy. and would also use some of that money to re factory, a sub saharan african who had reached denisia, hoping to go further to europe. and how many of the develop producer and the u. k has begun housing asylum seekers on a barge. this is part of the government's plan to reduce the cost of housing migrants when they wait for their claims to be processed. the plan has attractive
9:19 pm
controversy with some calling it in humane. ery faucet reports as the 1st few of a planned $500.00 asylum seekers arriving on monday at the new accommodation. a ball jolting when south coast. the plan is attracted controversy and delay of a safety suitability in scale. 500 men represent a tiny fraction of the people a waiting and assigning decision that the government says it's a necessary 1st step in stemming the numbers of people coming to the u. k. in small boats because of the crisis we have of the channel, we have to provide a combination. and we have to start spending $6000000.00 pounds a night of taxpayers, money on hotels, which to some extent on that curious what we need is most basic accommodation to stop. the full factor of the prime minister has made it clear he wants to reduce that looks and we're doing that around $50000.00 asylum seekers. occurred at the inn hotels at a cost to nearly $8000000.00 a day. when the budge arrived in mid july. it was met with protests by those who
9:20 pm
see it as inhumane. and those who don't want them and the asylum seekers of a human beings, they need to be treated with decency costs and respect the human beings. the best card for in communities about is not the way to trace human beings. there are so many problems with housing, people in these conditions. so it's, it just, it just doesn't pass thinking about on the whole. have you so far failed to put migraines, to run, to receive so next government is on the mission to cut the number of small boats arriving in the u. k. be full of 1000 people across the channel in june. the fact that the baby stockholm has 222 cabins, but the set, the house 500 men, could also be seen as a tyrant without present ships. but you're not locked up on board. you are free to come and go what the prime minister is saying is that he needs to find a way of stopping the boats. and new law has just been passed, which will enable him to stop people claiming assault limits that coming from the
9:21 pm
sites. the country and so it's on the move quickly thing. there's a real message here up to, uh, would be, mike mentioned this obviously cuz not to fall into the hands of the smuggling games . the main opposition labor policy says it to would use barges in the short term while criticizing the government for creating the problem by not processing asylum claims more quickly. the baby still could set to operate initially for 18 months, which would take it past the next general election in which migration policy is set to be front and center. how are we suppose it? i'll just 0. it kind of sitting key, the human rights lawyer specializing in the u. k is immigration, law, public law and civil liberties case. thank you for joining us on the program for the controversy around this is a, has a moral dimension. obviously, a political dimension as a lawyer though, how do you look at this case? can you hear me? this is sarah speaking and oh,
9:22 pm
i'm so sorry. i cannot tell you. let me try. let me try one more time. see if, if we can get you back, can you hear me? no. me. the slightly better. okay, let's, let's give this a shot. i was saying in the u. k, this issue of putting housing migraines on a barge. obviously there's a moral controversy around it. there's a political argument and controversy around it, but you're a lawyer. so how do you look at this? the right audio is not working. we'll come back to that plenty more ahead on this news. our including an explosion near green silo is that a turkish 4th, which injured at least 12 people investigations that are underway. i'm seeing
9:23 pm
buster, avi and pakistan southern sense province were less than 24 hours after a devastating train crush repair work has already begun on this vital railway and warm. se more magic in miami either send it as the action coming up in support . that's later is this the so the us state department has confirmed that washington is pulling more than a $100000000.00 in a from the share. meanwhile, the west african block eco was says, it will hold a summit to discuss the crisis in the share on thursday. the deadline for qu, leaders to step down and restore the shares ousted president's expired on sunday just under 24 hours ago. is yours, military have closed bureau space and foot board, or forces on high alerts. they have been to bury is in the sheriff's capital now me on the ground here in the i mean nothing shows that and military attack is going to
9:24 pm
take place. soon after the end of the deadline, 6 people are vacant. there are patients, restaurants are open and we can see that live is going normal. must of course, people are one day. they leave the such a situation in the 1st time maybe of their life. and so they did not get any answers about the solution. and some have decided to leave the capital and look for safety place because they believe that the minnesota attack is going to take place now or later. people who are on straits in here and they are supporting. yesterday we're seeing one of we'll just ration and seems members of the cool in this demonstration that they don't care about the deadline 6 by by
9:25 pm
it costs. and they will go ahead with that instead of the as 95 percent of voters and the central african republic a back to a new constitution that's according to provisional results from the electoral commission, the changes remove the to term limit for president and the length of the term will be extended from 5 to 7 years. this will allow president 1st of colors to adero to stay in office longer. malcolm web is following this from nairobi from elk up i understand number one, these results are not final. what can you say to us about that? and also more broadly, what does this mean for the central african republic? for the final results due to be announced that about 3 weeks from now. but i'll position and write scripts expect that there won't be any change. they say this result will. this whole referendum was illegal and likely to be rigged. and they criticize today was the government for being in control of all the institutions,
9:26 pm
including the electoral authority and also the courts in which they could try to, to challenge as a result of this referendum when the vote thing took place last week in finding the, the capital the turn out was visibly low at the old position that cooled on people to fully cut the referendum. they said about 10 percent of votes has came to us to the paulding stations the actual. so let's say you said today was about 60 percent of votes as some presidents, what day was being in power since the 2016 elections that you again into years from now, the new constitution would enable him to serve another to 7. yeah, tons. so that would keep paying, potentially keep them in office for another 16 years from now. so malcolm, just briefly, this means the bottom line of all this is that the current president has managed to change the rules to stay in power a whole lot longer. do we know how much popular support he has in the country?
9:27 pm
the size of the countryside controlled by on groups today was the government depends on for and support to control the school policy, the country that it does allow us to capital bungie. some of the other towns and some of the mines where the vos deposits of minerals, including gold and dime it is now that phone security comes from russia's wagner group. and also some soldiers from rwanda. now writes groups say that russia's walk, the, the, the russian madison music play to a central role in supporting these constitutional changes. and that's what day it was. government denies it, but it's very hard to gauge what the actual popular perception is. of all these things in so many areas are out of reach of the, of the states. in any case, about half of the population is in need of humanitarian aid. about half
9:28 pm
a 1000000 people live in comes displaced by conflict. it's a very central africans, just surviving and finding something to eat is of great concern. the politics, noncom web reporting there from nairobi. thank you very much. a palestinian teenager rumsey ahmed has died in the hospital one week after being shot by his really soldiers. a funeral was held for the 17 year old and the village of still was nothing else by the west bank. he had been shot near the legal settlement of offering after the it's really army says that is to about a fireball. $212.00 palestinians and $28.00 is really, is had been killed so far in the most violent year. in decades. at least 12 people have been injured in an explosion that a grain storage facility and turkey. a 2 are set to be in a serious condition, rescue crews of rushed to the site of the blast east of his tumble. the cause of the blast is not yet known. sent him kosovo,
9:29 pm
has more on this from his stumble. the cause of this explosion is this massive explosion is unknown, but of course uh right now the security forces and the prosecutors off is, are trying to figure out what it is. well, as for the initial response from the governor's office, this is more of a technical issue or something like a compression of but of course the there was an immense impact of this explosion in the area and that's tough for the huge earthquake in 1999 and assuming that uh, 2 kids suffered a huge earthquake in 11 cities just in february. of course, everybody was afraid and the impact of this mass explosion was of felt elsewhere around the is miss golf, where the port is locating located according to eye witnesses. as far as we know, as you said,
9:30 pm
there are 10 people who've been injured. we are seeing from the reports that one of the injured people has been taken to. i see you units in the nearby hospital search. it's still underway by the disaster management authorities. but of course now this explosion raises concerns over the safety and security office important a port. the real services have been partially restored in southern pakistan after a passenger train derailed on sunday, killing at least 35 people named astrology has more now from the side of the train crash and send province we say the train began experiencing problems just outside of the town of sir harvey, behind me, you see the derailed cars sitting here on the side of the trucks. but the point of impact seems to be this bridge. train cars seemingly jump tracks and hit
9:31 pm
this bridge at medium speed and the devastation it costs of the train car is is an indication of how terrifying it must have been for the people that were inside the train. at the time witnesses we spoke to say uh from the surrounding villages they heard a loud explosion, a loud bang when the, when the derailment happened, they looked outside and saw just kicked up, and they began to come and help the injured in the dead. out of the train cars, one witness told us that this train car was the one from which they pulled the largest number of dead bodies from this wreckage. it and we can still see clothes, shoes, personal belonging, strewn everywhere, things that no one is going to be coming back for. now, the train system in august on is a british era. infrastructure project is outdated, it needs to be modernized, and it is still
9:32 pm
a vital part of august on the economy of pocket stars transport system. an indication of that is that just less than 24 hours after the friday, the repair work has begun? yes, this is vital transport lane back online and there are trains waiting to cross. we've been seeing trains coming up to the tracks waiting to go back and forth. so as soon as an area is cleared and an area is repaired, so it is vital. critics say that the infrastructure issue of these railings be addressed as quickly as possible. if the problem is not addressed soon, it's not a matter of if a tragedy will happen like this. again, it is a matter of when he has a miss. robinson foreman's pakistan. there's still a head on elza 0. the un finds that 76 percent of children in south asia are being exposed to extreme high temperatures. in sports,

live from washington dc ross. i understand you managed to get some face time with the secretary of state anthony blinking. what did he tell you? well, the secretary of state on friday issued the statement saying that some of the aid that the u. s. gives to the government of new share was being suspended because of the political crisis in the country. a short time ago, i had a chance to do an interview with secretary blinking, and i asked him why the u. s. has not so far declared the situation in new share. a cool. this is what he had to say. very quickly, sir. the situation in the share will the us say, this is now a co so whatever you call it, what we seen is the disruption of the constitutional order in each year. and we like many countries throughout africa and notably equal was which brings together
9:38 pm
many countries in, in west africa, is determined that, um, the constitutional order, the re established. so that's what everyone's focused on right now. so from our perspective for the united states, and i've been in close contact with president bassoon, with many leaders throughout africa, and everyone is working towards the same objective, the restoration of the constitutional order. now of course, we also did hear from the state department, the spokes person, matthew miller, who said that us officials have been in contact with president bosom on monday, even though there were reports over the weekend, that the security forces may have confiscated the sim cards to his cell phones, which is how he was communicating with the outside world. now i also had a chance to talk with the secretary of state about ongoing efforts to deal with food and security, particularly in sub saharan africa. there is a new initiative adapter. the us is leading

climate change on its own level groups. yulusef is wanting, the children in south asia are paying a high price of extreme weather events and found that in 2020, more than $460000000.00 children in countries including afghanistan, bangladesh and india were exposed to extreme heat. that is 76 percent of children in that region. 3 out of 4. it says kids there in your, in more than $83.00 days of temperatures over $35.00 degrees celsius in a year. according to unicef exposure to such temperatures can be life threatening, especially for children who are unable to adapt to frequent heat waves. james elder is una assess global spokes. person who joins us live from geneva. so your report says that children can't adapt quickly to changing temperature, perhaps just a word on that before we go into the other main findings of the report. i didn't know that to be the case. yeah, hi serial. look at the thing with children's bodies is that they,
9:41 pm
they have trouble regulating temperature in the same way adults do. so it's much harder for children. and particularly here we talked about the most vulnerable, you know, the babies up to 567 years old, to remove excess heat from the bodies. and then because of that, and often in countries where it's not easy access twice or a fan of things like this, then it can mean anything from headaches to old inside. yeah. so it has an immediate, very detrimental impact, life threatening impact, in fact don't as you mentioned, 0 hundreds of millions of children. and of course it's a little under this umbrella or of floods and fires in a climate crisis that is for these children. and many of those very real right now . yeah. and can you help make it concrete, make it real for of yours these children. where do they live? what is their life like and what is the risk? yeah, well this, this report is south azure i, if we talk of children affected by time of crisis, not get it from seattle to new zealand and botswana to baton, but this is south asia are and, and this therefore, this is
9:42 pm
a lot of children in this case nearly half a 1000000000 we told you about india, pakistan, bang legit, bangladesh, afghanistan. and in very, really serial its children on the margins of children who are most exposed to these types of risk because they don't have the buffer of a social safety net or of a home with a condition. and it's most certainly children who almost have no common footprint. they have no responsibility whatsoever. spawn the crisis, but they are very much on the front lines of it. and that's both in terms of the things we speak about now, the daily impact. but it's also about the crops being destroyed and watch a scarcity and their parents missing work because of hate wives. and that's an income factor. so it's a domino effect. and this is what we're going to see with the client across is it's a, it's a domino and we're setting off a chain, a chain that will be very hard to pull back unless action is taken today yesterday, tomorrow. look,
9:43 pm
and it bears repeating what you said. obviously these children have no responsibility. they have played no role in the global warming that is now affecting them so acutely your report says it's 3 quarters of children in, in, in south asia. and i want to compare that to again, a number from your report compared to one and 3 children globally. so $3.00 and $4.00 and south asia compared to only a 3rd of children globally. look, people will listen to this and they will think, well, ok, what can be done? yeah. what a good question. so i think that there are many things and you can talk about individual responsibility. and i think that's something to people, people who are watching out to 0 have a sense of their own. c o, 2 emissions, you know, a list made it genuinely hasn't. she is the biggest thing an individual can do. when we look at what can be done on a global scale, the 1st thing in the i refer to i defer to the un secretary general is mitigation. he said very recently that we are hurtling towards disaster and we need to wage up and step up and he was unequivocal about who needs to step up. and that is fossil
9:44 pm
fuel companies. we need to direct us towards renewables, not obstruct that path. so mediation, then, these things like just building the social services, the children need, making them all resilient. and this is something eunice, if does a lot, all their types of schools in mozambique, we make them cycle improve literally. so children can go to them off for a select loan, and in fact, when there is a cycle and then the safest place in the community and globally, governments need to make sure when they're looking at climate financing. for these children who have no responsibility, focus on children, that's also not not happening. so there is a huge amount that needs to be done, but the science is clear and that we're talking about the biggest game in town. we told you about our planet, your children, my children, the children. unicef serves the children of his plaid and we are the 1st generation to know what is happening. and we're probably the last generation to be able to do something about it. james elder unit says global spokesperson,
