10:02 pm
never been so origin to assume the next time this call. but i saw that in just about age and the opportunities that a life demand joint action employees, that's why i mountains the summit, even before the presidency, when i was a comp 27 in egypt. and a 2 day meeting is in the brazilian city of beloved known as the gateway to the amazon. so what is the amazon treaty cooperation organization, which is hosting this summit, while the amazon spans 9 countries, 8 of them signed a cooperation agreement back in 1978 on issues that affect the rain forest. and here the countries that share the amazon, if you look at the map, be, include brazil, columbia, ecuador, olivia, venezuela, and several others. they say that during the summer, they will find solutions to protect the forest and its people, their biggest challenges, reducing deforestation promoting sustainable developments and forming an amazon in parliament. or the sun is being held in
10:03 pm
a city of beloved known as the gateway to the amazon or latin america editor. let's see a newman is there. let's see. what's the priority for the host country, brazil during this summit a hi there. the, the priority is to try to put some teeth into this organization, which has, who just said has been named dormant for too long at the time when climate change is, is, is really an urgent matter for the whole world. and the amazon rain forest plays a big role in trying to counter it, like it had hoped to get a commitment from the members of the amazon in co operation block to reduce or to a to arrive at 0 deforestation by the year 2030 he has not so far been able to do that and he does have the, the go ahead from columbia. but none of the other countries have made that commitment. yet, there also disagreements about whether or not to exploit oil in the amazon region.
10:04 pm
there's no agreement on that either, but there is a general consensus that a lot has to be done that it is urgent. for example, the president of columbia was suggesting that a, an amazon in nato, and i'm using his words recreated to police the borders. he also spoke about a marshall plan for the amazon in region so that the whole area can win itself from this extractive ism that is needing to so much, no, no need to for a station, but also contamination of the amazon in region. so there are a lot of proposals, but concrete action with dates deadlines. that is something we haven't yet heard that that has been commitments to. yeah, that's always the hard part in these, in these multi nation. some it's, isn't it, and you look, you explained the different countries have different priorities. what do you think is the issue on which there's most likely to be convergence, abuse and agreements? and i think that there is agreement on the need for co
10:05 pm
operation technological, scientifical, operation, police cooperation to deal with the criminal gains that are really are ravaging all the border areas all the amazonian region peru. but livia, brazil then as well, they all have very, very part of the pro, a severe problems with organized crime, not just drugs, but gold smuggling gold mining emeralds. you name it, it's helping to contaminate the rivers. also increase crime. and these are areas with very, very impoverished people living there. there are 11000000 families in brazil alone that are going hungry. that means that they're very vulnerable to organized crime. so that is something that i think that they will be able to do something about in the short term that in there. uh yes sir. how big it barnowski or is latin america to be see a newman reporting different dilemma in brazil. we appreciate reporting, and we've got teams across the amazon basin that have been providing amazing
10:06 pm
reporting, frankly in the bolivia and amazon. indigenous women are drawing on m central knowledge and traditions to harness the healing properties of various plants. indigenous leaders say that this knowledge represents an invaluable source of scientific data. but as men, while reportable reports from real blanco in central bolivia, this knowledge is a risk of being lost forever. a group of women walking through the forest in central bolivia. they're looking for a tree called co pipe. though around here, good bible is better known as the miracle tree, given its many medicinal properties. when i say that i can file a complaint about oil is medicinal and good a treating dramatic pain on the stomach ulcers and for regulating blood pressure in this part of the country many hours away from the nearest hospital cool bible oil is an important natural medicine and a main ingredient in many local products on the floor. it's work of bible grow
10:07 pm
spaces, many threats such as illegal logging and the clearing of rain for us to make room for agriculture, something like that, and all that go through all of that. and so it's very sad for us to see areas without a single tree left places that have become like deserts. and then there's climate change in 2019 alone, wild flyers in bolivia destroyed more than 4200000 acres of forest for indigenous communities of the bolivian amazon depletion of the forest. not only represents a potential loss to their livelihood, but to in valuable knowledge of medicinal plants that's been passed down from generation to generation. the amazon is home to tens of thousands of classified plants species, making it one of the most bio diverse places on our planet, and a great source for natural remedies. environmental engineers like thomas co, saucy, see that without urgent action, the secret some additional plants found in the forest could be lost forever. we'll
10:08 pm
say that the, the end, the more to the left length. i mean, we are losing many of the medicinal plants, which is why we're promoting seat collecting and reforestation. so they've become and 10 these traditions because this is a culture that has been practiced since long ago. and it would be a shame to lose it by partnering with academic institutions and non profit groups. these women have found a market for a co bible oil in modern medicine. and they're harvesting techniques, or even seen by many as a model for sustainable entrepreneurship within the amazon. their future success, however, will ultimately depend on the guaranteed conservation of the forest itself. by the way, that up a little al jazeera to the, an amazon, to the leaders of new jersey. cool, i have refused the welcome delegations from the united nations, the african union. and the original organization equal was the jump to say that their safety cannot be guaranteed. but senior qu,

very clearly to the international community tonight that we stand, unified in solidarity and in our determination not to hold re for any other nation, not to adopt the position of any of any geo political position of any other country or group of countries but to stand for africa on an african position that we are determined to ensure that civilian democratic governance is sustained on the continent for the prosperity, security and development of the countries on our beloved continent will be different. but we want to be very clear about this, but we are not taking the kind of a simplistic and bifurcated approach that some international media have chosen to take. which is that either you must go in or you're not serious or you stay out. oh, and you're serious or you stay out and you're not serious. we do not accept that
10:13 pm
simple narrative. what we are saying is that we have multiple lovers on which we can leverage to achieve the end that we are seeking to achieve, which is to uphold that. it was protocols by ensuring that there is a return of civilian democratic rule under the leadership of president by zoom as, as do be elected by the people of new jerry public. now, whether that happens today, or next week, or next month, we will see, but we are determined to leverage on all elements of our power. originally, to ensure that happens and not is not limited only to military interventions, although military intervention has not and will not be taken off of the table of us . president joe biden is visiting northern arizona where he is announced a new national monument to protect the land from uranium mining around a dozen indigenous tribes called for the protection of around 4000 square kilometers in the grand canyon. national park. opponents say that that will
10:14 pm
encroach on private land and could effect the local capital ranching the local tribes. consider this land sacred. they say it provides refuge to a diverse range of wild life. help right the wrongs of the plastic concert this land. manchester, a footprint for all future generations over the years. hundreds of millions of people and travel with grand canyon on all advice, mad majesty. but fewer or wherever, as full history. from time immemorial, or the dozen tribal visions of live gathered, preyed on these lands. but some 100 years ago, they were forced out that very active preserver. the grand canyon doesn't national park was used as an i did just people full access to their homelands as well. rob reynolds joins us from the grand canyon national park in arizona. rob this old begs the question, what actually happens when you designate something,
10:15 pm

10:16 pm
very pleased by this designation as they and their ancestors fought for it for many years. one thing in particular that they are glad of is that there will be no uranium mining. this is the uranium rich area, but the radium mining will by and large, be barred now and the native american people who live here say that removes a threat to their drinking water and to the possibility of contaminated water entering the colorado river, which is a vital source for millions and millions of americans in flows through this spectacular canyon the sea behind me. but conservation and protecting the spectacular landscape is one thing that you also told us earlier. this is also political. explain the arizona has become a swing state, a very important states. joe biden wanted barrow and very narrowly and 2020 beating donald trump by less than 70000 boats. some of the,
