i, tom seemed to many businesses to close in a show of support. the people cortez do feel that serbia is the country where the government is corrupt. lowes are ignored, and institutions don't work properly. the government, however denies these accusations, claiming that the protests and schools locates are politically motivated for all governments. media is discrediting the professors and the president is holding. rally is across serbia to secure supports. millions of households in scotland, an island lost power, as opposed to storm hits both countries or consult wins disrupted flights place schools and fulls. the cancellation of training and fairies services for persons has died in the goal. in the republic of ireland. go test as a warning, very strong winds will continue in just on today across scotland as a quality is so important. islands, capital load and 350 schools are closed well forward his and bang call goals and

made public transport free for a week to try and reduce emissions. barbara and give a has the story the mass pleasure of schools in bangkok this semester rustic measure of the city is implemented to tackle at pollution. the tide government is under pressure to develop a more comprehensive policy. as poor quality becomes an annual occurrence across se, asia i think school closures could help to a certain point. it's hard to break and pollution causes sore throats with adults. imagine how the children feel. well, start east coast 352 schools across such one districts in the capital and various who kind of been asked to stay at home. got the move up. i think the government should raise more awareness. i think a work from home policy would be best, but some people say these measures onto enough. oh yeah. hi. um. i'd like the relevant agencies to do more to manage the task because it happens every year. it

keeps coming back and it's getting worse each time they should take more action, not just announce high pollution levels and close schools for now. spend called presidents of doing what they come to cope with a pool of policy by the i sometimes with face mask as a precaution. but i took it to both because it petition hasn't moved into a level yet. a sort of a mass free public transport for a week to try to reduce exhaust fumes from vehicles. the government has also bad crop binding, a common practice to get rid of stroll and crop present to you before the new planting season. barbara and good. out of sarah thought sit for the upfront is next to stay with us. the pumps agenda includes everything from tax cuts to immigration,

but how much is real and how much is bluster is iran footprint across the middle east? franky beach trump administration is waiting options to end the rest of your brain more. but what does it mean for euro acoustic? a look at us politics. the bottom line across the globe, indigenous peoples are grappling with the devastating impact of a rapidly escalating climate crisis. if they remain sidelined in environmental decision making, how can meaningful change happen? and those were most effective, aren't even part of the discussion. that conversation coming up. the 1st, as was wildfires and other natural disasters, fueled by the climate crisis, continue to read habits across the planet. environmentalists are denouncing the inaction of world leaders. what's behind the failure to address with fight this appalling in x, a central threats to our way of life on earth, and without proper turning the power in washington? things about to get even worse. earlier, i asked those very questions. this week's headliner, environmental activist red,

attended by the better than the thank you so much for joining us when upfront. thank you for adding a claimant conferences. have in theory, been a space where environmental list and activists and governments come together and they discuss pressing environmental issues, things like global warming, pollution fossil fuels, the impact of the climate on the world, you know, important stuff up. what are they working in your view? do you think that there have been any material gains that have come from climate conferences? i mean, of course one could argue that there have been some marginal when from them. but i think also we need to zoom out the base where here 2024 at the kind of presence rapidly escalating last year that will expand at all times. probably. and we don't get permission and we have about 6 hope you're every quarter. and the thursday or

the week, the 1.5 to the target. we are obviously doing something wrong. it will that these trying to conference if needing through our increase emission and marty whole thing on paper. i think as, as it is right now, you find it comforting to talk to little time and time again to be a place for people in power and those most responsible for the time to come together and watch them. so um, disney i called the $1773.00 talk you will be present, which is more than the top 10 most vulnerable country and then again combined. and so i think we'll just stop pretending that under these circumstances, these kind of conferences would lead to any real time of action. i want to drill down on that more when you say green washing in this context, what exactly doesn't mean for those who aren't familiar, like what kind of violations, what kind of failures, what, what exactly is happening here? yeah. yeah. so let's take this is called as a, as

a textbook example of green washing. i'm worried that i'm so i'll go down to the country of the, of this kind of me thing. i'm you this state environmental protest in order to establish human areas located starting people in effect, not going to accomplish in the, in armenia. and right now are given a platform on the world today to get to my n greenbush 1300 uses while pretending that they care about the climate like getting the photos the this the kind of me thing. and so by using the environment as a reason they are trying to go in or set human rights abuses. that is one aspect of it. and then of course, the aspect that they are patrick states which is completely dependent, a bicycle for to production and exports. for example, they export huge amounts of oil and to israel. and therefore continental part of

the integrated warmer sheet is one example. and they have no plant effect and we'll try to attacks and they are kind of expand awesome fuel expansion. but they getting away with it because they are still good at framing it as if they are doing enough . and since the level of awareness about the things that they are actually doing is so low that people don't hold them accountable. speaking of holding people accountable while you're known around the world for environmental activism, in particular, you're also starting human rights defender. this past year, for example, you have protested against israel genocide in gaza. you were even arrested while demonstrating in copenhagen. your activism on palestine has landed you. it's pretty hot water. people have called you an anti semite. i've heard people call you a jew hater. many, many things have been said about you, what have been the consequences of your activism, particularly your activism on palestine. has it closed? any doors, ebony space has been made unavailable to you as a consequence?

mm hm. i mean, in the climate crisis we, what i am inclined to just talk to this is not just because i want to train and well, it's an ecosystem. of course that's really, really important. but what it boils down directly to me is that because i care about you and there will be no matter what the cold acumen fucking is, whether it is climbed crisis, whether it is war or preston, genocide, i will fight against those goals that i'm the kind of crisis is built on into it, it is built, the logic behind it is that we are replacing at each of the as well as current and future generation for the possibility of you to keep making unimaginable amounts of profit. and to continue exploring things, trying to, and people. and so if we, if we of time effective it or not able to state because again, the colors,

motivation and oppression and killing of people today. and then i don't think we should be able to color. so, trying to just this, we cannot pick and choose which struggle we have support and that's good. but you know, just some, some struggles are more high stakes than others. some things you'll get a critical, a critical review in a newspaper from your political opponents. some you'll get blasted on social media and in others you can have, you know, major, major professional academic, even economic consequences for in the case of palestine. what have been the consequences for yeah, yeah. many, i have the, i have no many friends and i have, i've been called on the imaginable stuff on these could have been in every possible place. but i was already being that before, you know. but i think if you of an activist or uncomfortable,

i think you're doing something wrong. we aren't here to be people please it. we are here to say that, ok, this is myself. i don't need to do something about, for example. and when we talk about it and put them in when we are saying that it's speaking up again, it is real genocide, which of course, you know, any way is the link to jewish people who are representing jewish people at. if we have thing that chris, i think israel and in the side on kind of thing, and i'm facing the day percival, we are extremely, extremely watering down that term. and i think it's affecting the thinking. it's a very, very similar problem that many are suffering from on an everyday basis. and not only i'll be doing that, but we're also using those buffering um, for whatever political purpose you find that. and that's absolutely outrage it.

and it is again, a question about basic human rights for everyone. for example, when we say climate justice, we need trying it just it works for everyone. we need justice and freedom and safety for everyone especially. so most smoking like people like kind of spinning right now, the best policy really showed the true color of the world every day. we keep seeing that and it's the, the new place is facebook. so many people that i sold and good people and cared about human rights and the policy and the testing, but they are actually not doing that. it's been yeah. let's turn in a different direction. i'd like to turn to the united states for a minute. donald trump has been elected for a 2nd term as us president, and you've exchanged some words with trump uh on twitter in the past. you've traded

jabs and speeches. it's been pretty intense at times. trumps environmental record was dismal during his 1st term, which is probably why you were so committed to speaking against him. he's not a believer in climate change. he's even called it a hoax. he said he was going to pull out of the parish agreement again, and he's pledge to increase fossil fuel production and quote, drill, drill, drill. his pick for energy. secretary also denies that there is a climate crisis. so what do you think trump coming back into the presidential office is going to mean with the environment and for the fight to protect it? i mean, you don't have to push it again to see that another trump presidency right now will be nothing less than a catastrophe. and it's going to be difficult to talk about this subject without using word. i should not be using both of them and it is very, very obvious that our current system are not working in the majority favor. and as

it is now, when they kind of movement or be put in the silence and the more nice and repressed people will most likely continue to be doing to provide for the populace of and part of them. and that is an extremely scary development that we a see all of the well, i'm not the least though in, in the us. but of course we'll have to remember that as an example, likely be talking about telephones, identify the problem fine. and it's happening under the vitamin harris ministration with american money and american complexity. and no matter who will be president, as long as nothing fundamentally changing and think it was, they will continue to be an imperative or the capitalist will power. that is going to continue their lead. well, so they're into this kind of catastrophe and a racist and an equal world. but of course, trump,

in the case is extremely, extremely, thanks for it. but i mean, we have to we cannot, they have to look into. so there despair and apathy, and they also did we have to look at this thing yet. another reason why we are getting organized and feeling the street and with this thing, because there is, there is no other option. they just have to radicalize. well, it seems like the transitive, it seems if you are actively resisting, you're certainly not in a state of despair or at least not letting despair stop you from fighting against power. and it's not just donald trump. politicians in germany are calling for you to be banned from the country because of your participation in pro palestine protests. you're hung gary and media watch list because of your activism. you come under fire politicians in india after supporting the former protest there. why do

you think governments find you to be such a so this is a threatening figure will obviously have you, have you seen me in a dream this ethnic? no, but it's um, when, when people like that among the most part, the people in the world are i think they are acting in that way. that means that they do filter and that is a very positive i'm because that means that we're actually making a difference otherwise they wouldn't waste their time doing that and they wouldn't embarrass themselves on the website saying those kinds of things right at 10 birds . thank you. so much for joining us in upfront. thank you. but the this year's top 29 was just the latest example of indigenous active as being sidelined in international forms. leading many to question how indigenous peoples can affect the future of climate action and organize to combat the climate crisis. joining us to discuss this is the code activist nick s this co founder of the pod cast and advocacy group,

the red nation nick. so good to see you welcome to upfront, you've argued that people often reduce the vast history of indigenous resistance in the united states to just being about anti pipeline protests. but there's been a long history of indigenous resistance, rooted in a demand for recognizing the sovereignty of native american nations also returning indigenous homelands. and of course, combating colonialism. oh, what does indigenous activism and resistance look like today? particularly in response of the climate crisis, an extra mark kind of, that's really a great question. there's an assumption that indigenous nations didn't have laws, didn't have customers, didn't have governance prior to the arrival of europeans. so much a bunch of what we see as indigenous resistance or indigenous activism is simply a holding what came before the united states or can before subtler colonial nations

. so for example, we see the inside pipeline struggle or the struggles against fossil fuels in north america. as halting or challenging at least a quarter of carbon issue emissions from both canada and the united states. so when we talked about indigenous resistance today, i don't want to romanticize indigenous nations. we shouldn't think of indigenous peoples as sort of belonging to this kind of touched past where they were one with nature because today many indigenous nations within the united states. the navajo nation, for example, which is heavily invested in the oil and gas industry, as well as being, you know, invested in sort of green technologies. so to say, to talk about sovereignty, there's multiple registers. it's not just the sort of ideal listed sort of. yeah, we're going to go back one with nature. so when we talk about indigenous resistance in this context, you know, there's the global movement of indigenous peoples. if you look at the,

the history of the united nations, which really began in the 1970s. the recognition of indigenous peoples is relatively recent in terms of the international forums. so when we look at something like comp $29.00, we can see sort of a general recalcitrance to include indigenous voices or non state. you know, minority groups. i was gonna say there is a reluctance to include certain groups. i mean, the fossil fuel lobby, for example, is represented by 10 times the number of attendees as indigenous participants. when you think about transitions, out of the se of carbon economy to agree and economy you stated before the populations have that have historically been colonized are going to bear the burden of this transition. uh, tell me about what that means. are there specific examples of like, indigenous communities that are going to have to really be at a cost of that kind of what seems to be necessary shift ultimately to me?

yeah, i think the, it's, it goes without saying it's a necessary shift. but, you know, according to the world bank, it's going to require about like 3000000000 tons of metals and minerals to just copper and with you to make that transition by 2025 before this car is going to be by 2050. so it's going to require mining fresh, copper that doesn't include things like nickel cobalt, you know, all these things that go into something like a test, low battery or the other lithium that goes into that. you know, there's a reason why, like you on most is, is building has, as the factory is in places like the dresser, because they're trying to mind the lithium. they're trying to use these areas as new. uh, you know, new frontiers for exploitation. and we see this, you know, what the lithium economy expect to the economy that's, you know, putting within the indian region that's targeting indigenous communities there. and

we're not seeing it here in the united states at places like soccer past, where they want to build a massive, you know, open pit lithium mine. there's a more fundamental issue here that you've alluded to today, and i've heard you and when we've been places speak to very explicitly and articulately. and that is the course of settler colonialism. if the settler comes to colonizer, they say, you know, the settler, the colonizer comes to stay, and to extract, and to exploit. if they're trying to take over the land, then it's in their best interest to protect the land. it's in their best interest to protect the environment because they're living there now. so why do we see in the conduct of north america such a vicious assaults on the environment? why do we see, for example, a commitment to a carbon economy? ultimately it's going to spell the demise even for the settler. well, that's a really complicated course of i think the 1st part of it is that most of the risks of a climate of climate catastrophe have been sort of outsource to the rest of the world

around the source to indigenous peoples internally within the subtler colony itself . you have things like, you know, foreigners, america, you have the hardening of borders. you have the hardening of, you know, immigration, that's all in response to climate change, which is directly all you know, in relationship to us. i'm curious, interventions in these countries that is causing these massive migration shifts whether it's distinctions or direct or for warfare itself. so when we think about like, well doesn't, you know, we all drink from the same common pot, like why would it make sense? for settlers to basically spoiled it well that we all drink, we all drink from. i think right now we're actually experiencing that. we've seen a new meal. liberalism be completely exhausted. we've seen neo conservatives of a be completely exhausted as political alternatives. and does we get the rise of somebody like trump, who is altered, you know, offering some kind of alternative,

which really isn't much of a deviation from the status quote. and we're, we're seeing places like east palestine where there is, you know, that, that has that major of environmental disaster affecting, you know, poor white people, you know, who are descendants of the suck winters. and so really what we're gonna, we're gonna see in this moment in time, especially in, in the context of these, you know, the so called the imperial core, or within the settler. courtney itself is the exacerbation of class differences. the, let me ask you a question on a, on a slightly different, not connected to what you're say. sure. um, when you look back over the last 4 years, do you feel like there was progress in moving from trump to bite? and in binary said before, he was elected president, but nothing fundamentally would change. so in many ways, i don't, i don't really see a fundamental shift. i mean, you just see a shifting rhetoric. you have some of these more explicit about what they're going

to do. and how they feel about especially racialized or indigenous people. and then you have somebody who says, i'm going to do a landing knowledge that while i, you know, while i grant more oil and gas a drilling permits, then the previous administration that's, that's biden's, you know, or that was biden's energy policy. he granted more oil and gas permits on public lands, then trump did within his 1st 2 years of his presidency. so these promises made about being in the 1st climate president don't you know i, you can listen to a person's words, but you should judge them by their actions. and we can talk about the context of minnesota. it's a perfect example in how you have a governor who gives lip service to indigenous sovereignty. and you have a lieutenant governor who is an indigenous woman herself overseas, the construction of a pipeline. that's transported parsons from alberta,

canada. and it was a re route because needed people, mine asian defeated the keystone excell pipeline in our republican controlled state governments. so think about this sort of contradiction that puts into, you know, that, that puts in your mind when we're told by liberals are better for indigenous people . and you know, of the republicans are going to be worse. the facts don't really play out in terms of how those policies are implemented and how the indigenous movements, the indigenous and movements against these destructive industries and to push for alternatives have played out on the ground conditioning. when you say there isn't a significant difference between democrats and republicans on this issue because of similar claim has been made by many people regarding israel and palestine. is there a link between kind of house settler colonial projects like the united states or canada, or australia or new zealand operate in terms of the treatment of indigenous populations and those very same nations offering continuous support for israel. the earlier you

started, adjuster, are you, you said it asked me to sort of apologize, the subtler mindset or the colonizer mindset. and i tend, i try not to do that, but i'm going to do that in this case because i feel like there's an immense amount of violence that we're witnessing that's being live streamed in the palm of our hands that are smartphones. and there's a lot of disbelief, i think people who are sympathetic to a posting and, and, you know, free palestine are sort of at a loss of like, how could this happen? and i would just say, look to the history of the united states, the united states has absorbed the genocide of indigenous people in the immense amount of violence that took to the point where most people don't even, you know, we're not, we're speaking english for a reason you know, we're not speaking local doctor, you were not speaking the indigenous languages of this land. we're not following the indigenous laws of this land. and so when we think about how could we let

something like the genocide and palestine uh, you know, on full the way that it has. all we have to look back on is the, the treatment of indigenous people by the united states. and the genocide that has been covered up and that is not acknowledged. that's one link. the other way is, you know, just the fact that these are 2 subtler colonial nations that both european projects the, the zionist project in palestine. it started off with a british mandate, you know, certain off, and then in a european country, much like the united states. and it, it implemented is sort of stuffed and taking of, you know, the indigenous posted in land of the same way and creating almost almost of a parallel systems of reservations or a bunch of stands as we call them in south africa. or, you know, in the united states, the reservation systems that are sort of controlled. you can think of, you can think of the palestinian authority as sort of

a tribal government where it has to be a moved by the, the occupying power in what it does. so the parallels in that colonial situation are similar. i think the part of it that is more explicit in the context of palestine is the genocide on nature of a subtler colony. and it's exposing, not just what is real, is a and it's fundamental nature. it's actually shit, it's a mirror image of what the united states is and how it treats. not only it's indigenous people, but you know how it's genocide in african people and a transatlantic flight, the slave trade, but also how it's waged. imperial wars, you know, for more than 2 centuries since it's founded and it's, it's a dentist of a state that is a nation say that was one of mentally founded as a capital boss, and in curious, expansion is nation said, make as thank you so much enjoyment upfront, thanks mark. all right, everybody, that is our show approach will be back in

the a pod huge, i mean to be so it could be interim head for 4 years, which is pretty much it and the tool times, no, i didn't say that that will be for 40 years facing realities, what does donald trump's re election mean? pretty tough. it is most important that we focus on how to work with president trump thought provoking on self. and your wife is dealing with the climate crisis is a crisis of crisis times perks. there's not just one prices up here the store on talk to how does era renika bill you has been a volunteer reproductive to health care worker for 15 years. she grew up among 12 siblings and had to start working at the age of 10 to help her parents. she doesn't want it for the next generation of filipino women. there was one woman what 18

children when those 18 children became adults. we introduced them to contraceptives . and now they have fewer children abilities to successfully lower it's worth rate . the country has struggled with overpopulation for decades, but exports side of declining birth rate would lead to other problems, especially as the overall population gets older. about $2000000.00 filipino sport overseas, experts say as its population shrinks, the philippines will inevitably need its own people to stay in the field jobs and the rest of the world will need to source labor from somewhere else. remy hopes that one day they will have done enough to make migration a choice for filipinos rather than a necessity manipulated by those in power. rolling. this selection is unique and we've seen anything like that for an old person. they were instrumental in helping the president when the election, driven by self interested play, is fast put their after non profits for people susceptible to government control.

if propaganda is designed to inflame and defense, the way that the story is being told, not right, and it's not accurate from social networks to legacy media. the listening post exposes the forces behind the headlight on tuesday or the a mouse named soul is really female. soldiers, they plans to release on saturday and exchange for 200 pounds, a city in christmas. the cloud. so robin, you what you're going to say with life. but headquarters here in the hall coming up in the next 30 minutes, the daunting task of rebuilding goes up to 15 months of relentless is riley. bolding will hear from palestinians, but most people, patients from the u. s. customs away with more than 200.
