alex sharma says it is something they can go ahead with. christian fraser at cop26 in glasgow.e from him at 11. let's bring you some of today's at the news now and in belarus, they have said that they are stepping up providing aid to migrants trapped in the border with poland. poland says belarus is provoking a surge in migrants as revenge for you sanctions. and is trying to establish a permanent camp. belarussian security forces tried to break part of the border fence and a thwarted attempt to let migrants across. some 2000 people, many of them iraqi kurds are camped on the belarussian of the frontier. 0ur correspondence enters this report from inside belarus. there is little protection and no one knows how long they're going to be here. we one knows how long they're going to be here. ~ u, one knows how long they're going to be here. ~ , ., one knows how long they're going to behere. ., ,, be here. we can stay more because the weather — be here. we can stay more because the weather was _ be here. we can stay more because the weather was too _ be here. we can stay more because

you can see alex sharma that the president the court president, he's in intense negotiations with people last minute huddles, taking place all over the plenary, we saw him talking earlier to the chinese delegation. it seems as if there may be some last minute debate over the wording of the colon fossil fuels section at within the final documents. it seems to be coming from the chinese and south africa and india. not entirely sure exactly what the problem is. it is quite hard to assess the intensity of al things up. alex i was study looks like a man who's trying to save a deal if you asked me at the moment. we've also seen john carry involved in the conversations, the deputy commissioner, the youth has been their friends timmons trying to get things back on track. and this frequently happens at the end of campuses. last mid objections. interjections about the way, ford and the shape of the final agreement. so it's not that unusual at but we were expecting this to be pushed to rally. sharma said it would be pushy by the end of the day. it was about to happen. and then we had this last minu

alex sharma, the president of the u. k. climate talks did say and not not so long ago that there is a mountain to climb in the efforts to get anywhere near the 1.5 degrees celsius limit cap if you will on warming. now, why is this seemingly m pessimistic point being made? well, there's a raft of reasons. firstly, in the 1st week of, of cop 26, there were a number of initiatives. they weren't actual consensus decisions from cop $26.00, which you see at the end of, of the process. they were initiatives by what is known as the coalition of the willing. they involved a very ambitious plan for deforestation with a reverse of deforestation aimed to happen by the end of the decade. at furthermore, methane gas add restrictions by a 3rd of emissions of methane gas, and also a phasing out sir. the dependence on, on coal for power, that within 2030 or 2035. but there's a rough, a whole series of issues around these promises are evolving the private sector. they are also a, have small print at which is the, which can mean that the b

alex sharma, you her there. exploding up the level of pressure on every one here. he has really spelt out a plan which goes like this, that overnight, new documents are being presented. the revised texts for of these draft agreements will be issued any moment really. it could be within the next hour . it's certainly around about now. we're expecting for some developments to happen . but sir, there are so many aspects to these negotiations that have to be considered as they twist and turn. now, after the draft documents have been issued, there will be an assembly of delegates that will be effectively a stop taking exercise, where they'll, they'll go through and informally, how people stand on it. and then there will be further negotiating sessions. and there is expected to be some pushback on key issues. and there will be a plenary later on saturday and sharma is hoping that sir, that formal procedure, then we'll see the end of this summit with a conclusive agreement or in store right then. so what are the biggest sticking points when it comes to this draft agreemen

but nations have agreed to revise the plans next year. cop 26 president alex sharma says, the clause good deal is historic. he says india and china, which pushed for last minute changes on coal, will have to explain themselves to countries most at risk of climate change. these are countries on the front line of climate change for them in a 1.5 is you're really very bad news to degrees is a death sentence. of course it matters to them and there was lots of emotion there . um, and in terms of china and india, i mean, you know, they will on this particular issue, have to explain themselves to developing countries. the you guys prime minister has expressed his disappointment at the deal. of course, my delight at this progress is hinged with disappointment. those for whom climate change is already a matter of life and death. a who can only stand by as their islands are submerged their farm land turned to desert their homes. battered by storms, they demanded a high level of ambition for the summit. and while many of us were willing to go that, that wasn't true of everybody and sadly that's

now i believe was alex sharma has put on the table. there's a good basis for us to get there. but still as a prime minister, johnson said we will need to negotiate in next couple of days that to make sure we get this deal done. i think it's still possible. i've seen a lot of good will across the board here at the at cop and so i think we can come out with a conclusion that would help us stay on track to say well below 2 degrees celsius and to still have a shot at ending with one or $1.00 degrees, but the promises are made and the promises of broke of that seems to be a never ending theme with caught. and it's never been more relevant than right now because 2.4 degrees, the century is, is the prediction. even if every single promise has been made, not just with the mainframe, but also the sideshow deals up that's, that's pretty, pretty off. but what we've learned is european union is that you can set a goal as being climate neutral. 2050 is what we said reducing our emissions with at least 55 percent by 2030. but then you have to have the policies put in place now. not next yea

we're fully alex sharma, the co presenter. he said at the beginning the day that he would see this through and it would be done by the end of play today. and it looks like that is going to happen. they're all gathering in the plenary behind me, which we can have a look at inside of it and show you pictures of what's going on inside there. you can see everybody assembling. you can see the stage at the back and when that is filled up, alex chavo will come on stage. and then at that point he may yet gall this through up until now we've had an informal plenary which has just finished. and in that plenary we heard from lot of nations who gave their view about this, which is the 3rd draft of the text. and it looks like that is going to be pretty much the final text. and most people, most nations, when they spoke, said that they supported the publication of this draft and that this should be the final documents and cop 26. but there were an awful lot of reservations. so let's explore that little bit. now we can speak to some hook, cr

but alex sharma says india and china, which pushed for last minute changes to the text after explain themselves to the countries most risk of climate change. these are countries on the front line of climate change for them. and the 1.5 is you're really very bad news to degrees is a death sentence, of course it matters to them. and there was lots of emotion in terms of china and india. i mean, you know, they will on this particular issue have to explain themselves to developing countries. well, i know i spoke to you again and climb the i to his patients number carlo who attended the climate summit and glasgow. and she told me that she feels betrayed by wealthy nations. they did not to do. they did not stick up as li does. they did known, secure enough money for countries. lake uganda, which i'm over, you know, go to the claimant crisis that i already struggling with the effects of climate change. they didn't secure enough concrete plans to keep the 1.5 degrees. what they were asked to follow there. once it is when we shall judge a no, really you really work with what they, what they r

and then later in the afternoon, alex sharma, the u. k. president of this cult said that there would be a full part plenary, hopefully to gavel through a final gloves. go pat, if you will, that remains to be seen if that happens. it's always incredibly complex. had of negotiations. you'll, you'll see situations where delegations are calling their capitals to get permission to take these negotiations on, on these key issues such as cold and so forth. and phasing out coal, one of the big things, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies. another one quite something for that to actually be in the text at all. it was in the 1st iteration. it was watered down to the 2nd one. will it survive the night? will it be in that text to morrow morning? we'll have to see emissions. another big issue here am trying to get countries to up their commitments. not in 2025, but next year in 2022. and also the issue of climate finance all problem. and that's going to be a big problem, especially on lawson damage, and that's a red line for the g $77.00 group of devel

whether or not alex sharma has the skill to successfully negotiate on a compromise or whether he's just gonna run something dying everyone's throats and hope that the pyre of the u. k. is enough to secure that deal and, and no one will release be going to strongly against it. i think remains to be seen or, and i can appreciate that lake will thank you from demand clamped us. thanks very much. you can be sure you're reaching the ends or near the ends of any conference when they start dismantling the building. we're around, you probably hear the banking of it's been going on here. so we must be approaching some kind of conclusion. but we'll see just how far away that is as even goes along . thank you very much for the moment. nick clark life. i sang glasgow. schools in india's capital will close from monday for a week as a city deals with a blanket of toxic small government employees in new delhi were also to work from home. the city central pollution board says the air quality index exceeds hazardous levels. vehicle exhaust industry, agriculture and fuel burning are some of the major to

now, alex, a sharma, the at the president of comp ah, has announced that there is going to be a delay. he said he was still intent on the whole set that summit ending on saturday afternoon. however, it is, as i say, it's not clear what, what's holding things up. there are reports, the rules for carbon markets to avert the use of loopholes in order to get carbon credits. that is, that is an issue that's been, there's been some dispute about it's been discussed. it's not entirely clear of where the problem is. there, there is a colossal argument going on, involving a $130.00 states about loss and damage and some very, a very angry m a sent and there because loss and damage our 2 areas. that's the last from our, from the climate sir. extreme climate events such as storms fires and, and under flooding and, and so on, that the compensation. reparations is another word that countries for this sort of thing. and also for um, for a series of other a losses involved in, in, in the cost of trying to convert it to green power for small poor countries. so these are small, poor countries, yet they
