i'm an editor, nick clark. he is heading up our coverage out of glasgow. nick, good afternoon. what can the realistically achieve at well lead directions? hair towards $1.00 degrees celsius. that's the target that the world needs to reach . at recently there was a emissions gap report that was published by the united nations. that said, we're actually heading for $2.00 degrees celsius, closing that gap is going to be absolutely essential here in glasgow also closing the finance gap is can be another thing. we heard just last week at the $100000000000.00 a year that was promised by rich nations to developing countries back in 2009 that would be delivered by 2020 will not not arrive until 2023. again. that gap needs to be closed and some. so that's what we're expecting to hear everybody debate about also when pros, johnson starts addressing the delegate shortly. he will be talking about his, his favorite mantra of coal cars, cash and trees phasing out. coal is an important issue. of course we need a phase of fossil fuels by 2050. if we could be on target for that. at 1.5 degrees

thanks so much, nick clark and burn the smith joins us now from mouse in the amazon rain forest. and there's been some talk about deforestation, an issue that impacts the people behind you there some a yes, this is man out the main passenger terminal that takes people and goods down the rio negro to where it meets the amazon. and many people going back to the some 60 odd cities on almost 500 indigenous communities that call this part of the world home. someone else is caused by the world over more than 40 years. is philip fern side who was part of in to into government for panel on climate change at one i'm a nobel peace prize in 2017 joins us here today. thank you very much. speaking to us, 1st of all, are you persuaded by both scenarios, government's promise to end illegal deforestation by 2030? that's really very misleading promise because there are 2 ways you can and the legal deforestation want us to really and the 4 sessions and the other is simply legalized what's going on already. and it's that 2nd path that it represents was actually occurring. and i've been several last

we're in conversation with our environment editor nick clark and will come to nick in just a 2nd because he borrows johnson. bailey u. k. prime minister is just taking to the stage as well. we'll get his opening common data right now. welcome to cop. welcome to girls, go and to scotland, who's most globally famous, fictional son, is almost certainly a man called james bond. who generally comes to the climax of his highly lucrative film strapped to a doomsday device, desperately trying to work out which colored wire to poll to touch it off. while a rid digital clock ticks down remorselessly to a detonation that will end human life. as we know it, and we are in roughly the same position by fellow global leaders as james bond today, except that the tragedy is this is not a movie. and the dooms day device is real and the clock is ticking to the furious rhythm of hundreds of billions of pistons and turbines and furnaces and engines with which we are pumping carbon into the air faster and faster record outputs. and quilting the earth in an invisible and suffocating blanket of c o. 2. raising t

promises made by leaders that the cult 26 summit simply not enough our environments add to said nick clark is life ane at glasgow right now at nick, you are at that protests. will you be speaking to protest us? what do they make of the summit so far? yeah, whereas she now at george square, which is where the margins will come to when i spoke to early work, helping read, publishes the beginning of march and all the protest as the climate activists on the way across the city to here. i think that pretty place now, and shortly this whole square will be swamped with young activists from across the world. and then on that stage behind me, you can see through that little yellow orange double jack about. you're going to hear from ag reddison but, and from vanessa to college, uganda, and you'd like to miss and other people, as well as you say, is all organized by the friday for future movements fridays for future movements, scotland and all part of the big overall youth push that we've seen that actually was lead as a property feeling the effects of now they know that they have to do something to

james bayes al jazeera glasgow at live now to environment editor nick clark. how's the 1st take on nick m r m. the lead is a russia and china may not be here by the hundreds was the other world leaders on. they will be giving a variety of impassioned speeches to try and keep that one and a half degrees. 1.5 degrees celsius, a goal within reach we have from boys johnson, of course, his favorite mantra of coal cars, cash and trees phase out coal ramp up the transition to electric vehicles, a provide climate finance and, and deforestation. and i think we're gonna hear a big announcement on deforestation in the coming hours perhaps tonight or tomorrow, as will watch out for that at the dangers for developing countries for from the whole climate crisis highlighted very well there by mere motley, as we heard and james's report of the prime minister barbados saying that 2 degrees celsius is a death sentence bouts, no new announcements, no further embroidery from china on the latest announcements, at which has been they are the world's biggest emitter, and that's been

let's talk to nick clark about that. nick, a very strong opening set of comments there from and tuning to tara, she was saying that is an army of the young lead by young people. it is unstoppable, and i stand with them. yeah, we're going to be say a lot and hearing a lot from that army of the young certainly next weekend will not be retrace protesting. bear thousands hair and glassdoor guitar is doing what he always has done ever since he took off his really just rallying the call for effective action on climate change. let's bring in james base or diplomatic editor he's. he's been falling guitars. his career is a year and 2nd general. so what did you make of his words? his words are getting tougher and tougher. we are digging our own graves for smaller lines than states. failure is a death sentence. very, very tough on climate, particularly in the last year or so. now that's because we're getting closer to this vital conference. i think it also, partly because there's a different, a group of international leaders on the

nick clark was covering this comp summit, forest life from glasgow. 2 weeks of negotiations. now, nick, how big of a last minute hitches all of this year? well, we're definitely reaching the beginning of the ends, wendy, and will come. he knows all the charm of the co president. he says he wants it all over this afternoon whether or not he's going to get that wish i don't know us, but probably not maybe later in the evening, possibly. but that's what he wants to happen. and right now you can see the delegations within the primary behind me now just addressing all the parties, the giving their opinion, the 3rd iteration of the text, which came out earlier this morning. and so far we've heard some pretty constructive comments, but there is still a long way to go. so that be some time before the resolution is met a toughie. and so what about with her touch? we have quite a bit of ambition in not lisa phasing out of polling fossil fuels. that is more to go from the 2nd drill to textbook has supplied into this one, which is a good thing. also this concept of ambition. making sure t

while our environments had, sir nick clark continued our comp 26 coverage light from glasgow. nick, how are you? thanks very much. i had lots of bold, impassioned speeches on day 2 of the you and climate conference here in glasgow. but then un prime minister and remedy came to the stage, came to the podium. and just before we go to eclip of his, remember the key target here is to get all the countries agree that net 0 should happen by 2050. he really changed direction on that and said that he's gay for 2070 barra. india will fulfill 50 percent of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030. between now and 20. 30 indian reduces total projected carbon emissions by $1000000000.00 tons by 2030. and you will reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by 45 percent. and by 2070 in, you will achieve the target of net 0 emissions. 20. well, let's explore this further. take this on. we can speak to at peter bets and he's an associate fellow in the energy and environment resources program at chatham house. and you were also former lee because shade her with the e. u in

our environment editor nick clark is in glasgow heading out our coverage for us. nick over to you. yes, we started day 3 with a major announcement on the deforestation to keep that one and a half 3 celsius target. insight forests need to be dealt with. deforestation needs to be tackled in a big way and here we have it to the tune of $19000000000.00. implementation is going to be the key, which we will discuss shortly. we have more than 100 world lead is agreeing to end and reverse deforestation in that by 2039 years time. so it's a pretty quick turnaround. if it happens, countries as you say, that will sign. the pledge include a candidate, brazil, russia, china, indonesia, the u. s, and the u. k. democratic republic of congo. altogether, they cover 85 percent of the worlds for us, so it is a very important deal. let's hear from forest johnson in the 2nd, but 1st his job. today i'm announcing a new plan to conserve global forest, which will bring together a full range of us, cover and tools, diplomatic, financial and policy. to halt for us laws restore critical carbon sinks and impr

our environment editor nick clark is in glasgow with full coverage as cop 26 gets underway. nick over to you? yes, thanks please. our welcome to glasgow. this is it to the you and climate conference after 2 years. it finally gets underway. world leaders have been arriving in their droves. we will hear from every single nation on earth who will be as delivering national statements over the next couple of days. made object of the exercise, of course, a simple task of stopping temperatures rising beyond what a half degrees celsius it is. in fact, a monumental challenge. we're already at 1 point, one degrees celsius, nearly 1.2. it is a highly ambitious goal, a given the global commitments to try and pull back emissions so far. yesterday, we had a rather lukewarm g 20 communique, acknowledging that one and a half degrees go. but no more than that, no real haft into how they were going to go about it. all right, so let's get to it. we can speak now to our diplomatic editor, jay's bases right off the plane from rome, covering her that's g 20 summit. what was your sense there of how

communities and shift trillions towards supporting sustainable jobs. lima to our environment editor nick clark, who's in glasgow following everything that's going on at the culp 26. so we've got the 2 big announcements as shed jill to day. nick, what's your reading of them yet, 2 big announcements. the other day started with that one on deforestation, and then lastly, just the last hour. so the one on me thing, we'll start with that 1st, at methane, critical in the fight against climate change. it needs to be cut back radically. it is $84.00 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than c o 2 is heat trapping abilities are much greater in the blanket of greenhouse gases that surrounds here. so any way that we can cut back on methane is, is a good thing. it comes from landfill from oil and gas at production from cattle, of course, and melting permafrost, which is happening to a larger extent, as time goes on, as of, on the land called, it's the low hanging fruit and fighting against climate change and so thoroughly supporting this implementation need more detail on how it will be implemented at,

nick clark, al jazeera, the orkney islands, scotland. oh, this is al jazeera, these are the top stories, 72 drivers who work for the world food program in ethiopia had been arrested by the government. the u. n. is also pushing for the release of 16 ethiopian staff who have also been detained. madeau has more now from addis ababa. the government accused them of what is called tad or is them and they seem to be all from one community. that's a good. i am some government official.

our environment editor nick clark is in glasgow where the cop summit is going to kick off. he has more on what to expect. they were hoping that they would use the g twenties as springboard or of momentum into coats where they say something. everybody is very disappointed with it is give it some perspective. so you had the parts agreement back in 2015, where the world agreed to keep the temperatures from rising beyond 2 degrees celsius, ideally one and a half to re celsius. 6 is all we now know that to to re celsius is too much. we're already at 1 point one milli, 1.2. and already we've seen catastrophic, extreme weather, especially this year. so for the g 20 to grasp to acknowledge that 1.5 is the target is a good thing, but it doesn't have enough half. what were the words urging meaningful and effective action? but agreeing few specific measures. a spoke to one observe a hair. and she said that if the g $22.00 is meant to be a dress rehearsal, the cop $26.00, and they fluffed their lines. so as world leaders shift their attention from the g 20 and others around the world,
