12:01 pm
measures the island paradise being lost to the sea. a warning of what will happen if climate change continues unchecked. plaster w speaks to iranian women as protests, art by the death of a woman, arrested by around so called morality police continue into a 3rd month. horn thing is look just about to job this simply don't want this long because speaks this regime. it doesn't work for us and for our country, it has never worked. and as it caught our repairs to host the world's cough, we look at the migrant workers behind the construction of 8 new stadiums. and why human rights groups are demanding compensation for them. ah hello, i'm richardson,
12:02 pm
thank you so much for joining us. it is crunch time at the cop $27.00 climate summit in egypt. delegates are supposed to wrap up their talks to day, but negotiators are still trying to agree on a final statement. addressing several thorny issues, one of the biggest is compensation for countries hit by climate disasters. but there could be movement on that after a surprise offer from the european union linking financial aid to tougher emissions cuts. vulnerable nations have already made it clear time to act is running out when it comes to the effects of climate change that camp $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 dol. oh, fun won't the civic greetings from to will to values foreign minister spoke from a digitized version of what could be 2 values, 1st,
12:03 pm
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 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
12:04 pm
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 meet at this crucial time in infancy, we need solidarity. we need to think about ela, wilts and sense of taking care of, of 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 polluted 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 this climate, meanwhile,
12:05 pm
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 did over you. sam baker is reporting for us from charl shake and earlier told me how close the negotiations are to a deal. well, i don't think it's looking like today will be the last day. it's spend very slow here, one negotiator i spoke to you yesterday said it's been an especially hard year because so many issues to do with money or on the table. we have seen some movement in the past few hours, however, from the you are proposing a fund for loss and damage funding. now this is the sort of money that climate vulnerable countries need after climate disaster strike to deal with the devastation that they caused. and the you is proposing this in exchange for the countries here, agreeing to face down coal, oil, and gas. ha. now this hasn't been reached in an agreement yet as
12:06 pm
a consensus as needed here, which can be quite difficult. so the u. s. for example, has been very quiet on the matter. however, smaller island states and other climate vulnerable countries have been holding firm on their demands for, for this sort of funding. we spoke yesterday for example, with environment minister joseph from antigua and barracuda, who's also the chairman of the alliance of small island states. you take, for instance, some ago called juice, like in, i think in dominique or they have been debts until good to have been does result of okay. so we consider this an urgent matter that should be addressed and we will not bunk away from a minimum position of this call or a lawson damage on the establish in order to make a billable to mr. financial resources to, to pay for the problem otherwise. so sam,
12:07 pm
the commons by the environment miss minister there, they echo those of many other poor countries, most impacted by climate change. as it appears to be the defining issue at this conference is getting money for loss and damage. why has it become such a sticking point? well, dealing with climate change is expensive, though i should say it will be less costly to deal with it now than down the road. but one report there was commissioned by last year's cop host the u. k as well as this years egypt estimated that 2 trillion dollars per year will be needed to deal with what climate change has to bring and for climate vulnerable country is poorer nations. at least half of that is gonna have to come from external finance, things from other countries, from the private sector from somewhere else. and so that's one trillion dollars a year. a wealthier countries previously have pledged 100000000000 dollars year and
12:08 pm
they've been unable to live up to those pledges. so it's hard to see how if they can't make a 10th of that amount of money, how they're gonna get up to what is needed. so that's really been the sticking point here in terms of implementing what's needed to deal with climate change to speaking of not living up to pledges activists including credit to embark have stayed away from this summit, accusing it of green washing to think about 27 will have exceeded their expectations i don't think it's going to exceed their expectations. however, there are still many activists here and i've spoken with many of from various countries in the global south. and you know, what they tell me is we don't have an option to at not come to this conference. you know, this is our one time of the year that we get the year of world leaders. and that goes also for smaller countries. you know, it's, it's kind of an unusual venue where activists can interact with the world's top
12:09 pm
leaders and n g o as can come across, you know, other countries. so it's really a unique opportunity even if it's very slow and can be very frustrating for them. a very important opportunity as well. did you, sam baker for us at the top? 27 in sharm. i'll shake many thanks for reporting. let's bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines. japan's prime minister told reporters that a ballistic missile fired from north korea likely landed in japanese waters. the presumed test would be the 2nd in 2 days. john young has warned it would take fiercer action if the united states continued to strengthen alliances in the region . the white house has asked a federal court to grant immunity to saudi crown. prince mohammed, ben salman, the kingdoms of facto leader who was in thailand for the apec economic leaders meeting face as a u. s. law suit for allegedly ordering the murder of journalists, jamal ha shogi in turkey, u. s. intelligence officials believe the prince ordered the killing. outside the
12:10 pm
summit, protests against apec and tylenol. prime minister erupted into a conflict between demonstrators and authorities who you say they fired rubber bullets and made several arrests after officers were allegedly attacked. activists have called the response, an over reaction to iran. now, where anti government protests have entered their 3rd month. they began after the death in police custody of gena masa armine, a young woman, arrested for allegedly wearing her, had job improperly. since then, women have been at the forefront of the uprising at great peril to their lives. t w's. abraham has been hearing from iranian women about their anger toward the old guard of men running the country and brutally suppressing their desire for freedom, their voice, burning away years of oppression. for almost 2 months, iranian women in the country and around the world have set their head scarves ablaze in protest. they told us doing so is
12:11 pm
a rejection of the mullahs rule over iran. we are fighting for the freedom of choice, not against a girl. i don't her picture to stays on, i dare to walk or even seat in front of the real police war. and my aunt who is also on active fort esther, were her job. because she believes since the, her job became mandatory in iran after the 1979 revolution. it's a key aspect of the islam of republics, identity. women who refused the compulsory who job can be beaten or arrested by the notorious morality police. the same police the detain. 22 year old gina masa. many for wearing her her job improperly. she later died in custody. burning the headscarf became a way to voice rage over her death. but it is also about rejecting the compulsory,
12:12 pm
her job, iran's leadership together and demanding equal rights. when we say that we are against a mandatory job, it's equal to saying that we are against ceramic republic. a mentality of this regime is inter when we are suppressing woman, we are our father's belongings when we are not married and after marriage, we are the belongings of our husbands. how is this fair? how is this humane? it's an anti slumber republicans, man, because the stomach republic wants to control the woman's body and a very important part of their propaganda is about he just up this whole thing. isn't that just about to job this simply don't want to slummy to state this regime. it doesn't work for us and for our country it has never worked.
12:13 pm
the regime has shown no signs of letting up and has brutally suppressed protestors . yet the woman we have spoken to say, change is already here. definitely the beginning of a new era. this holiday charity that has built up seems to be fortifying with every day that passes women into shirts and without scores on the streets are becoming ubiquitous. i'm treated with respect, do been offered a seat when i go without a scarf, under short coat to their bank or hospital by women and men alight. we're so hopeless because we could seeing no bright or even defined future when i saw the crowds of protesters everywhere. i found that hope again, regardless of what happens next in the islamic republic. the iranian peoples bravery has sparked solidarity worldwide. a spirit that is unlikely to die any time
12:14 pm
soon. i'd like to brainer, correspondent abraham, who filed that report. i as your report showed, we are seeing incredible courage, meet shocking brutality for obvious reasons. the women in your a porch host remain anonymous. so how difficult was it for you to find a iranian activist willing to speak out? it was very difficult. i mean, we spent weeks trying to find women from, you know, different, all walks of life to speak to us. for this report. we put out some calls on our social media accounts, asking your running women to reach out to us. and when we did that, we were actually quite overwhelmed with the response we received. doesn't e mails, messages and women who are willing to speak with us. but as you point out, they, their identities had to be concealed for their own safety. i mean, one cannot overstate the level of brutality that this regime has chosen to respond
12:15 pm
to the protests with we've seen death sentences being issued against protesters. we've seen reports of children as young as 10 years old, being killed in connection with these protests. we've seen footage of, you know, university dormitories being rated in the middle of the night by security forces. people being shot point blank on the street. but these women, regardless of that particular of that, we tell you still wanted to speak with us because they wanted the world to know. as they told me, that their protest is about a change. they're looking for a real change and not some kind of reform for the regime and they felt that in the media, their messages sometimes obscure it. yeah. but i, we've seen, protest break out in iran many times over the years. is it so different this time? that's definitely what people that i've spoken to have said. they said, you know,
12:16 pm
they've had previous protest movements that were targeted towards things like the price of living or allegations of election rigging or looking for a particular freedoms or reforms. but the difference between those protest movements they told me in this one is that they're not really looking for reform anymore. they've had, as one of the women i spoken to in the report said enough of this regime and they're looking for change. now whether that radical change is coming anytime soon, that remains to be seen, but that's definitely what they're calling for. and another perhaps notable difference in this particular protest movement. and that's something that i definitely saw in the diversity of the people that i've spoken to was that they come from different classes, different ages, different professional backgrounds. and that is something that we've also seen very much reflected in that proto, in this protest movement is cut through class gender. religion,
12:17 pm
ethnicity is also very surprising to see just how young this protest movement is. i mean, we've seen reports and we've heard from people about how jen z is the generation leading this protest movement. and can you tell us in more detail about how these activist hope that the protests will end if they indeed want to see a complete collapse of the regime? well, they're definitely saying that they're not going to stop hitting the streets and they're not going to stop raising their voice. but they're also acutely aware of the fact that, you know, there are different factors or circumstances if you will, that have to come together for regime like they're on your regime to collapse. and what they told me is that they're hoping that their message and their movement stays on, it reads abroad and that their message continues to be amplified or an international media, and that they would continue getting support from world leaders. as we've seen in the past couple of weeks. thank you very much for that. that's our correspondent. i

russia has launched another wave of missile attacks across ukraine, killing at least 7 people and injuring many more. he says the strikes were mainly directed at power and heating facilities that with winter arriving as much of the nation sees its 1st significant snowfall. present well that he wears, a lensky says more than $10000000.00 ukrainians are currently without electricity. mike martin is war study senior visiting fellow kings college london and he w earlier asked him how you cranes allies can help the millions of people now without power in ukraine. 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, so substations transmitters, transmission lines, as well as some power generation are being hit and damaged. and obviously the same structure takes years to build in many cases. so what the ukrainians are going to be able to do is,
12:19 pm
is repair small parts of it. and it is possible to provide pin prick power in places like hospitals by using generators, but the vast mass of the population. $10000000.00 people prison since he said, afraid is going to be a wind to largely without power from any of them. let's bring you up to speed now with some other world news headlines. swedish officials say the explosions that burst the north stream pipelines under the baltic sea, where acts of sabotage. the conduit for transporting russian gas to germany have been a source of tension as a result of russia actions in ukraine. moscow and nato allies accused each other of damaging the pipelines, hamas officials in the gaza strip, say at least $21.00 people were killed in a fire and a whole building. in the job on the refugee camp. allison and president mahmoud abbas has and his condolences declaring friday a day of mourning while the world cobb kicks off in cut are on sunday for more

than a decade, millions of migrant workers have toiled to build 8 stadiums or renovated airport and a completely new public transportation system, but human rights groups have long founded. the alarm about the conditions faced by katara migrant workers were often forced to labor, inextricably, poor conditions. they're demanding compensation. there's never been a world cup like this one. the 1st in the world, boasting a state of the art stadiums, by far the most expensive tournaments in fi, fi history. and the most controversial one. for years human rights organizations have criticized the working conditions on katasha construction site. thousands of migrant workers suffered wage theft, paid extortionate recruitment fees, or even died under unexplained circumstances. my can be dolly worked as a security guard and cut off for 3 years. the kenyans spent a month in
12:21 pm
a doha jail. after exposing how cut are treat, it's migrant workers. crumbs live in condition like a tenfold people depending on how general employees feeling and no one else. oh the global o as opposed to the ag hours. oh it already. oh, gotten a little 2 hours overtime. oh, but frank companies will give you an example of 30 for the nose international trade unionist deed moshef has heard such accounts when he travelled to cut out to examine the country's working and living conditions. the german acknowledges that come to us government recently introduced some more work of friendly legislation. according to sheriff us, however, many of those improvements only exist on paper cut tom was thus cut are simply needs to better control the reforms. it has initiated that we need many more inspectors. we need much more drastic penalties if employers do not comply with the
12:22 pm
new lawson. and that's missing so far though in that 3rd on does field proceed. cut us government admits that there are still some deficit, but it also complains that the country is being treated unfairly. we are not claiming we are perfect, but it's a journey that we will, we will, right. let's be realistic and come down rather than just jump into the wave so that we just, let's talk about him or what we all respected. but we need to be a bit in modest about the human rights groups have led demands for fee find cut out to create a compensation fund for migrant workers. to remedy abuses during world cup preparations . but cut us government has already rejected such demands, calling them the publicity stunt. let's talk about this war with francesco cic hardy. a senior research analyst with the global affairs think tank carnegie europe . thank you so much for taking the time. with all of this negative reporting
12:23 pm
surrounding the world cup, what is the host cut are getting out of this tournament? well, its global visibility and global celebrity for, for a month. overhead life of, of western media and media a little bit reward will be on guitar. a lot of attention, a lot of people will be brought to the country. it certainly a for, for them, and it is more cuz they were up there when 12 years ago, they submitted it to host natal workup, but if much of it is not positive celebrity, are there other gains that they stand to find in hosting this year's world? cops yeah, i think that the, the extent to which the press that has been negative as perhaps surprised the katasha part is but it hasn't caught them off guard. we're talking points are solid and they're repeated constantly across across the media. i would, i personally, i think that the fact that we're talking about guitar, if it's negative,
12:24 pm
of course not something good for the country, but in the grander scheme of being that if you look at the long term, this is what i was after the bachelor ward with no work with her is that people would travel ticket are and but people would see with pharaoh nice what, what quite on the ground. ok. so it's name is on everybody's lips, given that benefit, that guitar stands to gain from hosting. what do you think needs to be done to hold it to account for the human rights abuses that we heard about in that report? well, neither guitar or people are like that said the p for especially democratically accountable organisation, right? so both time and everything, but it's around guitar and that's around the warranty is ultimately a financial and economic operation in which the term consumers and consumers. we don't get the right to vote, but we get the right to say out loud. what we think,
12:25 pm
what we see about most guitar and to try to as much as possible hold to organize are accountable for holding, hire human rights, the working conditions standard. so, but that's what we can do if it can be successful. if it is a question, of course beyond words, are there actual steps i could be taken that in any way could hold them to accounts . i don't think that much can be done other than symbolic steps. there is much been a long discussion about some european team captains wearing a rainbow on their arm during the 2 in baton. and i think the important thing to remember is that the word copy is the, is, is a month, write it on bill in 1900 of december. but circuits, we will leave town and what will happen to car been important,
12:26 pm
but governments as much as keep very focused on our up there. so after the workshop is finished, because if labor reforms are to be implemented by will be in 2024, 2025 and same sex conduct will remain illegal in the country in the years to come and to prevent the backlash or to keep, to make sure that people keep changing this important met we, we just don't damage our attention to the 30 days off work up. okay, thank you so much for that. that's francesca cardi with carnegie europe. really appreciate you taking the time to speak with us for having me. thank you for having me. you're watching the w news before we go, let's get a quick reminder of our top story. or can union has offered a proposal at the club 27 climate, some at a loss, and a damage is funded for climate vulnerable countries. the issue is the most
