hume use our planet. and us president donald trump visits a vibrant and 1st responders off to the mass shootings in el paso texas and dayton ohio. anger there from protesters who accuse him of stalking racial hatred. and of a warm welcome to you i'm. a security lockdown in indian controlled kashmir enters its 4th day after the government in delhi revoked the region's semi autonomous status telephone and internet services have been suspended in the muslim majority region and many residents have lost all contact with relatives outside the region tens of thousands of troops have kept a lid on protests and restricted travel as stores closed and supplies of fresh
12:02 pm
fruit run thin hundreds of christian media politicians and aides have been arrested since india's hindu nationalists government announced a change to the region's status joining me now is our correspondent on the mission in delhi and michelle what are you hearing about the arrests in indian controlled kashmir and what do the people there want. well i'm with i want to be sure reading about the arrests so far that it is that it has mainly been political activists political workers and other people who have been walking about what's going on now of course right from when the status was changed we heard about the arrests of local political leaders and these are not just what india would call separatists these i mean stream political leaders who have actually cooperated and coordinated with the indian government in the past the other problem of course with telling you what this midis are dealing with this
12:03 pm
means one does that the region continues to be in a communication lockdown the flow of information is basically a trickle there's very little coming out and people of course have not been able to reach their families back home so all of this media is outside the region are very very worried because not only do they not know if their families are safe they're also not able to communicate to their families what they are doing and if they are doing fine or not just yesterday we went down to a part test in delhi where many people came out to protest article 3 seventy's so when it comes to what kush midis want for some of the demands are you walk this new order about the special status the release the people arrested and also lift the communications blackout but this is what we heard from fish midis on the ground. nasir is on his way home. he does not know if he will be back because he does not know if he will survive. if the should mean a police under lockdown ever since india passed the specialist on them
12:04 pm
a status the state has enjoyed for 17 years. on his way to the airport nasir stops by this protest held in solidarity with the shooting. the last he could see days ago was that his mother was speaking and while he does not know if she made it to the hospital last words she said to me i'm not feeling better tomorrow is my appointment but they are so what am i to go in the studio and dad the model we pissed the deployment of thousands up at home and reported all of our dollars so she called north texas she could not reach out to the doctor we did i don't know whether my family's alive or not. not sit on the protestors have tea demands. it was the government's decision to lift the communications blackout. androcles arrested locally to its. many young bush meets in delhi to work and study have joined in. they have had no word from home because we will never accept that the
12:05 pm
street is not come that out of ports of violence that up warning in except that we have nobody is to confront whether it's true or not which makes us all the more anxious and what it for our families and the more the state will have to answer this someone like me was living dependently for a.t.o.c. now i haven't known the feeling or form sickness for you and it's for the 1st time in a deal is that i'm feeling homesick that i want to go home because my parents don't know why i didn't own up at the airport i don't know if the even to the airport to fetch me despite feels for their own safety if they protest openly they don't know what else to do it. as voices for and against the government decision to vote across the country mean itself is silent a complete clamp down on john lists and a communications blackout has meant that angle feel and frightening rumors about the safety of loved ones back home run rampant was ok it was never there
12:06 pm
yet some scoff at these one claiming that any protest against the government's decisions are anti a national and baseless. this cruel pressure enough to shout down the protests against the government. those who are you to stop the government's progressive order what is your intent is the isis funding you are anti india foreign forces from you what who are you. know as anger boils over on both sides which medias are trying to decide whether it is better to mobilize protests here. or try to reach their families. for nasir despite the risks he knows he has to head home he has to at least try. so in english as we saw in the report emotions are running very high about the situation in kashmir what can we expect now we hear that a prime missile in the movie is due to address the nation today
12:07 pm
i guess on the phone most of the running high across the sub continent pakistan has spoken about this action being illegal in its perspective it wants to be good to the international community it has suspended trade ties and diplomatic ties with india but in india and this is what the my every dick you can expect from a minister more these speech india has called this stand alarmist according to india this is not an aggression it's simply a more integrated need better into india and to provide more opportunities and development to the region so this is the injust on sun it also claims that this provision the special status will stem put it to you which is why it has been drilled walked so this is what we can broadly expect from prime minister more big speech of course on the other hand we do not get nor hawkish media is a feeling the government has also claimed that bush meat is celebrating but again because of the blackout b cannot say this for sure more of course we will know of
12:08 pm
a good note for show once by mr moore the makes a speech here tonight. just one in delhi thank you very much for your reporting. now millions more could go hungry if you don't change the way of the farm that's the message from scientists on the intergovernmental panel on climate change in a new report out today the researchers say that since the late 19th century average global temperatures have risen by point $87.00 degrees says that is had created deserts degraded land and endangered food security off the land area that's not covered by ice roughly 70 percent is already being used for the production of food textiles fuel and housing and that is likely to increase as the population continues to grow so the i.p.c.c. latest report is also a quote action it says we have to change how we use our planet so we don't waste it
12:09 pm
let's hear what the report's authors in geneva had to say on this limiting global warming to 1.5 or even 2 degrees will involve removing carbon dioxide from the artmosphere. a critical role to play in carbon dioxide removal this german field is bone dry drought has again gripped parts of the country these crops will yield much less wheat than usual and a new report by the intergovernmental panel on climate change warns that dry periods like this will become more frequent and more intense. the mediterranean region and southern africa will be especially hard hit climate change is already here one result the quality of soil is deteriorating in many places deserts are advancing elsewhere rich topsoil is being eroded but more and more food has to be produced to feed the world's growing population this is
12:10 pm
a vicious cycle on the one hand farming produces the food that people desperately need but on the other hand it's a huge factor in climate change overall farming generates more than 20 percent of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide cattle and rice production make up half of methane emissions a climate pollutant worse than c o 2 and human made fertilizers create 3 quarters of nitric oxide emissions it's a particularly potent greenhouse gas scientists are worried about how quickly the farming sector is growing an area 2 thirds the size of australia has been turned into agricultural land in the last few decades the i.p.c.c. says it's time to change otherwise deserts will continue to advance and hundreds of millions more could go hungry. and i'm joined now by another of the cool tools of the new i.p.c.c. report on climate change dr for the han from the potsdam institute of climate
12:11 pm
change welcome dr brown so do you think that lowering our consumption of meat is one of the best ways of dealing with some of the problems raised in the report just . one of the responses ops and that we mentioned in our report is to have it's that means to. plants plant as diets because what we find is. as fuel resources used to produce steam and old mates it's pronounced which is harmful for our club so you have to 1st convince people to have less needs how does a stint operate but to the idea of eating more plant based have a more plant based diet than a meat based diet. one thing when you talk about dietary changes we all think that people had choices but when you look at local environment that might not be the case because our dietary habits are defined by our food environment so
12:12 pm
people have very less choices and their choices are constrained by the local stories so here this might be one of them is reason why people are resistant it's instant saying that we also see increasing number of visitor in people also in the western wall and there is since but. the resistant is like there is a limitation and individuals can do to change their diets because they have limited choice so using the mystically it's not a matter of choice in the coming years and decades that we eat less meat it's a question that we have to do because of our limited resources but how do you explain to a living in china or in brazil who has now countries which have become richer and people are eating the meat they're raised the way and this still eating much less meat and the west and what how do you tell them oh no we think it's not good for the planet that to eat meat to stop eating meat to eat less meat so one thing is like i've been doesn't make any prescription is it's more like
12:13 pm
a destruction and we don't be going to any countries so i will not particularly go on that but what does see in a global trend is like with increasing income animals for food are high you can jump in many countries that's that's a global thing and regarding can jus mean less and mill cers food particularly need is is mainly coming from health benefits or to be healthier it's better to eat less meat but but here it's not one eating less meat it's more about balance while saying balance in some countries there might need to increase the need to. more and not source food condoms and in other countries we need to do praise them and we need to we all need to convert towards a balanced diet and most of the countries by reducing the condoms and and in some maybe in prison because so who should act here can individuals make a difference or does the change need to come at the policy level we all need to act
12:14 pm
we need top down and bottom up saloons as i mentioned before individual. have certain things they can do but but but their choices are limited that's why we also need. to make the individual choices happened because so far people are consuming what it's a valuable market and what is a value in the market is highly served by the forces we also need solutions but also bottom up approach by individual behavior. is dr approach or profound from the potsdam institute of climate change thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us. let me know when you have to do with some other stories making news around the world venezuelan president nicolas maduro has
12:15 pm
canceled talks with the opposition citing new u.s. sanctions imposed on the south american country the measures also prompted thousands to march in support of motherhood oh the u.s. backs opposition leader one. new data has revealed the surge in deforestation visitors amazon rain forest with some 2200 square kilometers cleared in july that's more than twice as much as was cleared in july of last year the officials who released the data say a brazilian president. has been a minimizing the scale of deforestation. u.s. president dollar trump has been given a hostile reception as the 2 u.s. cities left devastated by mass shootings in the u.s. last weekend 31 people were killed and dozens wounded in el paso texas and decent ohio trump has visited emergency workers and survivors there but protests as a leading democrats have blamed the president's rhetoric for inflaming racial
12:16 pm
tensions in america. touching down in texas donald trump stepped into a border city where both the local politicians and the local community had come out to deliver a motional yet pointed messages and talk about. what he says matters he's a person of how we're someone people listen to thank god be aware that what he says means something on a day when that the next time you know he's across the country are afraid that they may be next today of all days we must hold the president accountable for that pattern of racism that has defined his administration. from the local people to local politicians many said the president had been slow to denounce the root of the problem. in this case we're dealing with domestic terrorists. we're dealing with a white supremacist we're doing with racist though we may be said and for some the
12:17 pm
problem of racism has been exacerbated by the president himself. for most of our recent history it's kind of flowed underground in this administration it's out in the open and it's coming directly from president trump who in no uncertain terms has vilified and tried to diffuse and eyes the people of this community today another of the president's would be replacements picked up the fight as grief and anger turned again to the question of who will achieve real change on gun control. or truth he seems more concerned about losing their vote. and beating back this hateful ideology. he says guns are not the problem in mass shootings the issue is mental health it's the dogs hatred isn't a mental health issue. that we donald trump signed off his day in el paso by refusing to acknowledge any anger toward him. there are
12:18 pm
a lot of heroes they're all europe for the love the respect we're all. here i wish you could've been there to see it on but at a time when polls suggest a clear majority of americans support introducing background checks to buy firearms trumps party has little will to reform the country's lax gun laws. it's a journey for short for danger but wanda thousands of refugees are willing to make crossing the mediterranean from north africa illegally headed for an uncertain future in the european union now most refugees and migrants end up in spain or greece and these numbers on the un show arrivals so far this year i'm afraid you don't have the numbers as yet but it really hits the headlines most often because of its hardline approach to unofficial rescue missions room claims these are colluding with people traffic us italy's migrant backlash grew last year with the
12:19 pm
election of the populace government and as far as interior minister salvini new legislation passed this week threatens captains of rescue vessels with fines of up to 1000000 euros if they end to italian ports with opera mission the government also wants all the e.u. countries to take in more refugees and migrants landing in it today and the damn thing is a max joint a sea watch a rescue mission off the libyan coast and sent us this report. takeoff from an undisclosed location. for the german n.g.o.s c. watch is taking us on a reconnaissance flight over the mediterranean. muttiah and pilots have one main objective saving lives or 30 miles up the libyan coast this is a child predator raid your group or the africa. group this search right is looking for a biker dangerous crossing. over boats to their leipsic recruits. finding
12:20 pm
them is like looking for a needle in a haystack and conditions are anything but ideal. this you watch aircraft moon bird maidenly operates in the search and rescue zone off the coast of western libya an area that spans more than 350 kilometers of coastline this is where migrant boat set off on their perilous journey to italy and malta footage from an earlier mission shows how that looks dozens of people on an overcrowded rubber dinghy passengers often spend days out at sea exposed to the sun and with limited supplies and back at the back of people have been on the water for days a usually dehydrated desperate and in a serious medical condition those really are emergencies that have to be evacuated as soon as possible. because. after hours up in the air
12:21 pm
we spot a suspicious object in the water by a half. that's a sunken rabbiting. for now we don't know what happened to the people on board these cheap inflatable boats are not made to last and sometimes sink after days out at sea even if kyle and his crew managed to spot a boat in distress it doesn't mean the passengers will be brought to safety due to a crackdown on n.g.o.s there are very few rescue boats left on the water and merchant vessels try to avoid the effect. area all together often the libyan coast guard is the last resort for kay and his colleagues this is a frustrating experience but. i want the people to reach a safe haven i want these people to get here it. and i want them to cross the ocean safely and not be brought back illegally. this is wrong and ships are being feast rescue capacities are being caught somewhere the only ones keeping an eye on the water we have to deal with situations like this. we are back on the
12:22 pm
ground where exactly we cannot say. here are aware that there are organizations activities are being closely monitored. since the government such as italy have started to crack down on rescue n.g.o.s seawards faces public criticism and accusations that they are aiding people smugglers. a claim that the euro's lee rejects. but. we would never communicate with people smugglers in our capacity that's simply criminals who have made a business with people who suffer and make money out of the circumstance that they're so desperate and see no other way than reaching out to them pick listen i send it to vent cases these claims are used to paint them as criminals and distracts from the real issue mentioned in the human lives have to be saved for me that's not up for debate and there's too much discussion going on about it about
12:23 pm
who should be saved and plus one called as a few. despite the mounting pressure. say they will continue to go on missions for as long as they are allowed to or until their work becomes no longer necessary . that report. sunda turning out of gone is found a yaz of conflicts in poverty have had a devastating impact on society. specially on children many are not at school but had work shy labor remains a widespread problem it's believed that one in 4 of gone children between the age of 6 and 14 are working to support their families and they sometimes work in hard and difficult circumstances. the sun rises over afghanistan and these children should be on their way to school but for 10 year old cameron and his siblings it's the start of
12:24 pm
a day of grueling work. since their family has fallen on hard times the children get up before dawn to make bricks at a factory on the outskirts of kabul. there was a time when my father wasn't able to earn enough money anymore so i had to start working with my father and after i started working i stopped going to school. cameron's family comes from the province where years of fighting involving both the taliban and in a slum extended to philly a group have left many people with nothing but the international labor organization says brick factory owners take advantage of this by offering loans to families who are struggling to cover lots necessities and then forcing them to work off the debt in their factories. conference father supports this immediate family of 8 as well as several siblings nieces and nephews. he says his entire family has to work
12:25 pm
a whole day to end the kind of money needed to pay for a bag of flour. my children wake up in the morning right have their prayers and they come here for work so we don't have time for school. these days if you don't work you cannot survive. we are far across around 16 year olds at the market. and if we don't all work we won't be able to afford to buy. a u.n. report from last year said more than $2000000.00 afghan children aged $6.00 to $14.00 were engaged in some form of child labor often at the expense of the education for cameron and many children like him going to school is a luxury they simply can't afford. finally off
