2:19 am
a new constitution that removes the to term limits for a president. at the length of one term will be extended from 5 to 7 years. this will allow the president for start our con, to adero, just stay in office longer. so, what we're zillow is about to host a to day. so i'm at about tackling the enormous challenge which ultimately affects all life on earth. and that's how to protect the amazon rain for us to help stop climate change. the latest scientific data shows a major reduction in the number of trees being felled. but as our latin america editor, lucy and newman reports from the amazon and stage of par, president lula da silva, faces a huge challenge to meet his goal of 0 deforestation by 2030 environmental protection agency inspectors helicopter into a remote national park in the amazon state of florida,
2:20 am
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, indigenous reserve, a joints, government task force sweeps in, destroy, and legal mining assets. while in the city has been in inspectors, check out the lumber yards timber to ensure it comes from as legal source before being shipped to england next week. are alex, let's say that the sofa hits the environmental agency bama in the state of florida, which is the size of angola. pieces that under former president aid both. so nato illegal capital farmers and longer is operated freely. this formation is which was quite the ones that were available for a lot of in the previous 4 years, 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 disease or receiving more
2:21 am
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 okay, it looks kind of look, this is where they've been starting to mock the area. they'll 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 wing government says it's committed to combat in climate change and reversing deforestation in the amazon. 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,
2:22 am
then president, who like i said, was promised to reach 0 deforestation by the end of this decade, would be a move point. there's is 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 algebra, berlin and then well wrap, hello is in santa cruz bolivia at a conservation facility. he spoke to members of indigenous communities. they're hoping the summit and brazil will make a difference. swear in the outskirts of the sunset goes bolivia in a transitional forest. these are the force that surround the amazon basin. and over the course of the last few days, we've been speaking to conservationists and indigenous leaders who are dedicated to the area of conservation and are very hopeful over the outcome of this amazon
2:23 am
summit taking place this week in brazil. if there is one criticism that we are hearing, overwhelmingly from members of civil society groups, is that indigenous voices are not often taken into account by the bolivian government at that more likely that again, i'm out of the ts, but we try to do is care for our mother because it's our territory, it's a tier 3 as women, it's all body as women. we're calling on the thirty's to listen to assess women to respect our territories as indigenous people. policy experts here in bolivia see that one aspect that's of particular interest to bolivia at the amazon summit is finding a multi lateral agreement to combat what's known as norco deforestation. that's the clearing of huge swats of rain for us to make room for a list of crops and illegal gold mining. of course, that's just one of several themes being discussed this week in berlin, brazil. at the amazon summit, when was it happened to al jazeera sounds like it was bolivia, with the portuguese governments, remote worker visa program is being criticized for contributing to the cost of

2:25 am
a lot. some time portugal as a cheap destination has been popular with retirees from northern european countries . looking to settle in a wilma climate. but now the young, the digital savvy crowd is flocking to it shows it's putting pressure on the system, especially the housing sector. added to this, the decision to host the catholic church swelled used to, and event attended by 1500000 people. but at a time when rents are out stripping the average wage of hoff if the working population, many in good, why, how much money the state put towards the visit itself, the total injection of public funds to host? well, do you stay cost $41000000.00? the cost of the stage alone was $3000000.00 and it was used for just 2 days. never the less specific council says it was a worthwhile investment. and in the future, it will be used to host major entertainment and sporting events. it's a way they say of promoting lisbon as a key international destination. there was little bows around areas outside of

seekers on a barge off england south coast. so part of a plan to reduce the cost of housing migrants who are waiting for migration paper work journalist lucy dared and has toward the barge and she says it's very small and margaret will have very little privacy or comfort when it's full. the people on the box is it as a reach? is it still capacity? you will have none. they wouldn't have bedrooms have 7, they right and have spaces on their own. and i did some calculations that show the space assigned to each person is actually less than a call parking bye. so those are some extreme conditions. and whether the home office on the private contract is paying a large amount of money to organize this can actually do enough activities and want 3 things that kind of nice and, and engage people. if that outweighs, the reality of being in that tiny space remains to be seen. the accommodation is offered by the previous government on the basis,
2:28 am
the otherwise people would be homeless, and it's all set on what's called a no choice basis. which means effectively, the government can decide whether that's in a hotel in a box, in the military base. the home office itself imposes minimum standards on hotels that says they have to be a minimum of 3 stalls. i'm not sure exactly why that is. it's probably, it's a guarantee, a minimum standard across the board. but in reality, living there is not, not sure yes, because some people can be that's a many months old, many years on the assign them see, cuz i've spoken to in that condition says that it, it means that it feels like a cognitive van lines properly. obviously it's fine for a short time, but without for the space, without your own home, without being able to cook or spend time with your family in a normal way, it's not a way that anyone would choose to be living in that lives. and i'm sure the people in those hotels wouldn't describe it as a luxury. finally,
