battle. those huge forests has an opportunity but it in no as much as we know now. but over the past twenty years we've come to know more. and s small you'll see as a form of abuse. we're doing now is at and yeah now he's a he's the director of the climate division for the french. developments agency and he's been attending the summit say thank you for being with us on. on f france24 and emmanuel micro and some some of the up and if a year one of the biggest achievements all today very short meetin. right missile you. one of the biggest achievements off today summit va. alright i think it would the drc that it was. who house? of that again she then. and businesses and local government. i think it'd he'd one thing

is with each who are show that the whole world would year even un u. s. that. that the ethnic compositio. and then the end result was. also quite. interesting because the air reserve my call to be. fifty about himself you enumerate. twelve. announced the end of the day. and. it was a tedious and the equity locally priti there was a lot for a asia. a lot for reducing edition and more importantly yet because i'm going on. a lot a from many commitment from a financial institution. it's emmanuel macro and indeed frogs out the the from line of fight against climate change. out i think yeah what what they what people said that it will all be the people of the meeting everybody needs to act. and we need all years at at

well. . i have a richard that he di. most importantly keep adding on dealership and all that trade use woke up pokemon and could use debated slow but i hope. at the climate that british you know that. that all the issues since . but i think the idea was. russia a and e. e. people pressuring cellphone on those who came. and that was the deal if you poke you have to do a commit to something and that. if you could do something it will be published and we're going to. or on on your commitment. at the name a same was over the years something like. the minds of well written

but it's true that. having your commitment bbc that meet the link and you it will only get you a cup of what. as a lot of pressure. needed her and people. done in every day thanks very much h indeed for joing us. wewell donald trump may have been absent from the summit but some big names in america business and politics work here today and they say they're still very much engaged in the fight against climate change whatever the view from the white house areas. and he'sd gunman for that i said thank you mister trump. who would you all that we can i think trump is a temporary roadblock but actually? by denying science. by calling climate. change chinese hoax he's given climate denial of very bad name in fact a ridiculous name and that is. mobilize the opposition to him and galvanize the support of those who want to

take serious climate action so the paradoxes that donald trump. while fighting a climate action is actually stimulating more grassroots response and more response from corporate america than anything i've seen today. and ed priti at president discusses a full at jerry brown is back in his home state of california huge wildfires happy to burning out of control for a week now. the biggest fire knows thomas's scorched tens of thousands of acres in ventura and it sounds and barbara. and it grew by about two and a half thousand eight his overnight thousands of firefighters trying to keep it away from population census. it is that the faith biggest state has ever seen the latest evacuation orders were received for one to see ty someone's and sensible. was saying in the united states voting is now underway in one of the most important races since the presidential election republicans are battling to keep that to seek majority in the senate. that candidates a split the party

in what should be a safe seat representatives former judge roy moore. has been accused by several women although the listing them all of the teenagers. democrats of jones is hoping he can profit from the sample more may have the supports all president donald trump at several senior republicans. have distanced themselves from head while florida i'm joined by jeffrey skelly he's media analyst at the university of virginia center for politics and he's also the associate editor. of suboxone his crystal ball he joins us now from charlottesville thank you for being with us on at france24 now and when you then look into this a crystal bowl of yours who you see. wedding the senate seat for alabama.

hello gruesome wallace pretty murky in this race and there are a lot of reasons why. is a special election two weeks before christmas you have roy moore who is a pretty toxic pretty dadamn . and while he is slightltly more popular than unpopular in alabama. i he's not nearly as popular as he was there previously us a lot of moving parts in this race and i think there's a lot of questions about what exactly the electorate is going to look like today. i and no one really has good answers the polls that all over the place not so you know it's alabama supreme republican state. i if cochems a show you know i think more is more likely to when however the reality is jones the democrat nominee dow jones could way. and that is amazing in and of itself. after that we all the and now i'm just going back to the sexual assaults on allegations i mean we've seen. democrats total net sentences. i've such allegations al franken nichols is of us and

comes to mind well why. and how he there is a sense of no the republicans a article dismissisive about this kind of thing would would you send us fat. what he polling suggests that mean lay republicans you have people out there eyes surveys are republicans say that they don't think sexual harassment is a big issue at work as people identifies democrats? you see stronger numbers in terms of. how meat democrats in whether not a thank? members of congress should be forced out of office a bad and. who have committed are then accused with substantial evidence of? site you sexual harassment armm versus republicans or less inclined to do that a particularly if it's a republican exciting gathers a pretty clear difference between the two parties overall views of this issue. i mean even if you take this scandal out of the whole equation. roy moore wholesome and pretty extraordinary views. of has already in in twenty

seventeen i in the united states and for some of the things that. homosexuality should should be illegal i mean if alabama really thahat conservative. obama is one of the most conservative states that country i mean if you lookok atat it presidential v ver* sitete usually. six from six best state. last time around my it is also a state that has a larger shares of white evangelical c christianss. and its population ruffle almost half of the electorate. i in the two thousand sixteen presidential election of w s white evangelical christians so lease on that youou know social issue front there's no question that state is very concerned. as for ed doug jones does go ahead when he what infested with rats to take as alabama's take such a deep usa id do you think he could shake things up that. well look at dungeons winds that will certainly be a political earthquake. namely because democrats

will only be down fifty one to forty nine in the u. s. senate. i witchell make donald trump and the republican leadership in washington's job harder nine jersey passing legislation. on the in the coming months a soo where t they are attack on their tax plan. could be important you know if they're if they're of did you know delayedd att on tht jones is seated and hacking complicate that. arithmetic further and actually would open u up at least a slimmed a slim opportunity for democrats that actually have a chance of winning back a senate majority two thousand eighteen. the map is very bad for them and i probably won't happen however a jones win would trade opportuniniy because t they're toooo republican held seats that will be in danger. i amm twenty eighteenn verery i fr susure. and so democrats is howw old all thehe seats haf the two thousand eighteen for not easy and they were at those two plus in jones when it would be a fifty one

seats and have a jury. jeff is harry thanks very much in days. well saying it with the u. s. reminder because the twenty seven year old bangladeshi who tried to blow himself up on the new york subway today has been charge sack kaiet lula. lightly injured three people when his device failed to go off is emmerson he previous ce taunted donald trump on facebook. officials said today that he had recently become radicalized online. he also admitted. that he had been inspired by isis to carry out his attack. saying that he'd been radicalized online. through isis propaganda starting as far back as two thousand fourteen. and his in satchel has accused european governments of being complicit in the torture and abuse of tens of thousands of refugees and migrants in libya. in a report published tuesday the groups and efforts to reduce the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean sea have resulted in grave human rights abuses the eu. is yet to respond city allegations about us as the
