10:02 am
cuts. vulnerable nations have already made it clear time to act is running out. when it comes to the effects of climate change that cop $27.00 delegates are battling against few things stand out for the public, like polar bears losing the arctic ice, they depend on or the pacific island nation of to value seeing its islands potentially overcome by rising seas dolphin won't pacific greetings from 12 to values. foreign minister spoke from a digitized version of what could be 2 values. first, landmass to go under line. we have not stepped up to the television. we must not doing so today. otherwise, within a lifetime, to well will only exist to you to follow officials at the global summit point to the long held goal of limiting global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius above pre industrial age levels. scientists and activists say catastrophe looms of
10:03 am
temperatures rise more than that, the planet has already warmed by 1 point one degrees. why the u. s. behind president joe biden, and the european union insist there holding firm to the 1.5 and are pushing china and other resistant nations to include the 1.5 degree figure in the climate summits, final agreement not back pedaling to 2 or even 2.5. degrees experts say that what's required is a phase out of the use of fossil fuels, the types that release carbon dioxide into the air that then traps heat in the atmosphere causing global warming. but a late draft of the declaration now calls for efforts to phase down as opposed to phase out fossil fuels. i think when we need at this crucial time in empathy, we need solidarity. we need to think about our will in a sense of taking care of um,
10:04 am
a well another sticking point to the concluding statement. delegates from developing countries like nigeria and pakistan, which endured extraordinary flooding this year, or somalia and madagascar suffering from major drought. the poor countries are calling for richer, more polluting countries to pay financial relief to nations that feel the pain of climate change, but are responsible for comparatively little of what causes it. it's a massive and controversial matter that rich countries, like the us are concerned, will set too much precedent even as climate. meanwhile, to value officials say that we're about massive efforts to tackle the causes of climate change, setting a precedent of any kind will no longer matter. he w environment report a sam baker is in charge. i'll shake. she told me the negotiations still faced major roadblocks. yeah, it's been a particularly slow negotiation this year i had spoke with one negotiator yesterday
10:05 am
who said it's just been an especially hard year because there's so much talk of money this year. there was a movement over last night with the you proposing some sort of some sort of system for loss and damage funding. so this is the money that is needed for countries dealing with the aftermath of climate disasters. and they're proposing that in exchange for pledges from countries to face down oil, coal and gas are not just cold, but all fossil fuels. now, of course, that's a bit difficult because they need consensus here to reach an agreement. so countries like the u. s. have been very quiet on the funding matter for loss and damage. and others like saudi arabia are unlikely to agree to the phase down. ok, the, the phase down rather than phasing out. also the financing of those most vulnerable . i guess at the end of the day it all comes down to what countries can afford or
10:06 am
believe they can afford yes, and i mean like i said, money has been a real sticking point at this year's a cop. and you know, there have been some pledges, but there they've really been small amounts compared to what's needed. the u. k. a last year's host and egypt. this year's house commissioned a report of how much money would be needed. i had to deal with climate change for these climate vulnerable countries. i report said 2 trillion $1.01 trillion of that, so half of that will need to come from external sources. so either from countries or private financing from outside those vulnerable countries. so that's quite a bit of money, it's 10 times the 100000000 that was pledged back in 2009 by wealthier country is a yearly pledge they have so far been unable to meet a so it unclear how they're going to increase that to 10 times that amount, ah,
10:07 am
when, when a lot of these countries aren't willing to agree to such large sums. and so it's not just the tug of war between developed and developing countries, but also according to one report, $600.00 fossil fuel lobbyists who are registered at the socket. yes, there is quite a presence of fossil fuel lobbyist here. there's a whole pavilion for opec alone, and you know, this, this certainly has a presence here and it does water down negotiations. however, there are also activists here there, and joe's here. i mean, it really is a place for all different groups to come together. so while some like red 10 burg had decided not to come to this year's conference because they see it as green washing. i've spoken with many people this week from smaller nations activists from various countries in africa. in particular. who say, you know, this is, are one time a year to get the,
10:08 am
the year of world leaders. so they still see value in these talks. and baker with the latest for us from top 27 in general. shake. thank you very much. russia has launched another wave of missile attacks across ukraine, killing at least 7 people and injuring many more. keeps, as the strikes were mainly directed to power and heating facilities and come as much of the nation sees its 1st significant snowfall. as an employer based lensky says, more than 10000000 ukrainians accounted without electricity. mike martin is war study senior visiting fellow at kings college london. i asked him if attacking civilian infrastructure was a clever strategy for making territorial games. it's not actually it. russia is largely fighting a defensive war at the moment. they are very keen to shore up deposition over the winter. i think they're aware that ukraine will be continuing to push forward and
10:09 am
attack over the winter. and so what they're doing by targeting civilian infrastructure, which is by the way, a war crime is it basically means that the training government have to focus on delivering power to civilians. rather than spending that energy to paring suits and motion positions. how can support as a broad allies of ukraine to we've been sending weapons, try to support or help the millions of ukrainians without power right now. it's very difficult if not impossible, which is why, probably why the russians are doing it. what's happening is that the infrastructure of the power grid substations transmitters transmission lines, as well as some power generation, are being hit and damaged. and obviously this infrastructure take years to build in many cases. so what the ukrainians are going to be able to do is pass parts of it. and it is possible to provide pin prick power in places like hospitals by using
10:10 am
generators. but the vast, massive population $10000000.00 april presents and he said freight is going to be when to largely without power. many of them like martin from king's college london time for some other stories making use. the white house is asked a federal court to grant immunity to saudi crown. prince mohammed with solomon kingdoms. the fact of leader who's in thailand for the apec economic lead is meeting face is a u. s. lawsuit for allegedly ordering the murder of john lester. marcus shockey and turkey us intelligence officials believe the prince ordered the killing. outside to summit protests against apec and thailand's prime minister romped it into a conflict between demonstrators and police. police say they find rubber bullets and made several arrests after offices or allegedly attacked. activists have called the response an overreaction alaysyah has back that dutch courts like sentence in
10:11 am
absentia to, to russian intelligence agents, and the ukranian separatist leader to help down in the laser airlines flight of ukraine. in 2014 was hit by a russian missile fired from territory in ukraine. helpline pro separatists. the kremlin is rejected. north korea has testified another intercontinental ballistic missile. it's the 2nd major weapons test this month. the missile flu eastwood from the outskirts of the north korean capital pyongyang and landed about 200 kilometers off the japanese coast in the countries exclusive economic zone. military analysts say the miss, i would have had the range to hit the american mainland. japan's prime minister for me. ok, shita condemned the test. it's joe soon. we made a storm protest to north korea. right. they are repeating provocative actions with unprecedented frequency stages. we strongly state again that this is absolutely
10:12 am
unacceptable to michelle. yeah, it was just, smith is a senior correspondent with the reuters news agency. he told me what's known about the missile test so far. this may be a test by north korea this year of an icbm class weapon system. and analysts say that the suggest that they are pushing full steam ahead on trying to develop these long range weapons, which as you mention, have the range to potentially deliver new to the warhead to anywhere in the us mainland. this increases pressure, certainly washington as well as other partners, basically at a point where they seem to have you options to stop this new testing by north korea . this also comes as north korea has made apparent preparations to conduct a new killer test, which would be as 1st since 2017. it's still unclear, but we'll go through with that. but these increasingly long range and major weapons
10:13 am
test by north korea. do have many observers believing that they're only going to increase the tempo and scale of testing and stressing long range japanese officials say the miss m. i have had the range to hit the us mainland. what the message from north korea? north korea this year unveiled a new new killer policy law, which is said, caught it by just right to develop weapons as well. actually use them preemptively, to stop any threats against it. or his interest is basically argued to the united states in the international community that it has the sovereign right to develop nuclear weapons as well as these missiles. and it's making that point with repeated missile tests. these are often time around the time when united states and this allied military rules, as they have recently or the united nations meets about north korea and discusses
10:14 am
additional sanctions. all of this sends the signal from north korea to the world that there's little anyone can do to stop it from developing weapons and that it's going to continue to do so. asia pacific lead is amazing at the apex summit in thailand today. how are they responding us? vice president harris actually stepped out a meeting there and going leaders from australia, japan, south korea, canada, and new zealand on the sidelines for the summit there to condemn this latest launch . they basically said that it was a brazen violation of un security council resolutions and bout that was unacceptable and needed to stop at the same time. as i mentioned, there's few concrete makers that any of these leaders there seem to be able to take dismissal, launches the latest be in global security challenge for the overshadowing there,
10:15 am
which would typically be focused on on economic issues. thank you very much for timing, and reuters correspond josh info watching d. w. use a reminder of our top story. the european union has offered a proposal at the called $27.00 climate summit loss or damages font full climate oval countries. issues the most contentious item on the agenda, the u delegation says is hopes the proposal will help bring the conference was successful close it was all and play richardson will have it. thanks down a.
