it's an extremely good point and also points to a broader point which is across the world civil society and grass roots ngoampaign movements are under sustained pressure from government and some political leaders are going in to see angela merkel and simultaneously oppressing these grass roots groups so this is a recognition by the nobel peace prize committee of the important role that these groups have and the way that they can help bring committee together, ensure the nations stay together and can prevent civil war so i think that is a really nice nod in the right direction. >> recognition for work that is actually being done and to a large extent completed rather than work that is yet to be done because it was a great deal of talk about one santos and huminez with regard to the columbia peace process as we know has not been yet signed and sealed. >> yet, precisely. and i think the committee has given the praise prematurely, awarding president obama a few weeks into his first term with the nobel peace prize, i think in hindsight would be seen as a bad decision and i think angela merkel was seen as a fron

the protection it needs. >>> world leaders are meeting to try to come up with a legally binding climate agreement. a climate ngopokesperson says if the temperature rises by just 1 degrees it will be devastating. >> reporter: emissions of carbon dioxide is going to keep increasing to 2030. we don't know when the governments start bending. what is quite clear is that in 2030, the emissions will be at least 25% more than what it should be. we should be about 40 billion tons. even at a temperature rise of about a degree that certain part of the world is experiencing right now, it is devastating. you're talking about category 5 hurricane in arabian sea. philippines have been battered by hurricanes. you have droughts and floods. one degree is devastating for the whole. think about 2 degrees, and then 3 degrees is unimaginable. >>> starting today in the united states the first of up to 48,000 federal prison inmates will be released early. they are all being held in federal jails. they have been serving sentences for non-violent drug crimes now considered to be unjustified. patty culhane has more. >> reporter: charles

but the implications of other hospitals, and not just across afghanistan but the globe and not just for them, but for other ngos throughout the world. they called the accusation of the afghan government today disgusting that the afghan government said that the taliban had bases inside of the hospital. they have gone further to responding to general campbell saying that this investigation will be transparent, but now it does show that in fact, the afghan shoulders called in yesterday, and what doctors without borders said that first of all, this is called by the united states collateral damage, and then a tragic accident, and now the united states will blame it on the afghan government, and he said that for that reason, it make it all of the more urgent that there is an independent international transparent inquiry, wolf. >> as you know, colonel franco nashgs and st francona, they say that the d k doctors without borders gave their coordinates to the u.s. military official, and afghan military officials in the days leading up to the awful air strike. the u.s. military says that afghan forces asked for the specif

the ones that meet our criteria. we visit one of two refugee camps in lesbos. reporter: it's not government authorities but ngos that are providing the refugees with the basics. hmaidouch helps where he can. with his good knowledge of greek, he's able to help the new arrivals land on their feet in this new environment. that's another reason why he's popular in lesbos. >> my brother was sick and hussein helped me to get him into hospital. and then he provided a tent for us at a former campsite and got blankets and clothes for us. >> one of the reasons i decided to stay in greece is because people here need me. i could have moved on long ago and tried my luck with another athletic associations. but i can't let these other refugees down. reporter: hmaidouch really needs a sponsor. but since the onset of the financial crisis, professional footballers are the only athletes anyone in greece is prepared to pay for. still, hmaidouch says he's grateful. he has a small apartment that he shares with a refugee from afghanistan. >> my future in morocco has been destroyed, i can't go back there. i was one of the best runners

the u.n. but there we work more with international ngos. now, they in turn work with -- through local organizations and that's a critical aspect you mentioned. it's difficult for us to work directly with local organizations just through the financial systems and oversight. but through our local -- our international partners, they are able to work with local organizations. indeed that's how they get there. including with, like, local councils and civil society organizations that really know the situation on the ground, have the best access. we actually have better reporting and oversight of our programs and our assistance than in many other countries. so, even the gao and irg shows that our aid is getting to the right people. and then the nice thing about working with local councils is that you are building some local capacity so that hopefully when the regime -- excuse me, when the crisis is over, you've got some local capacity to build up again. >> thank you very much. my time's expired. thank you very much, madam chair. >> thank you very m

we have the deputy director of the center for science and the environment, climate ngo and joins me liveood to have you with us. i want to talk numbers first. here is a number i pulled out of the climate action tracker group and says current emission cuts will mean a temperature rise of 2.7 degrees celsius, is that the ugly truth no one wants to face, we will not reach that cap of two degree no more than two degree celsius rise in global temperature. >> even 2.7 degrees i believe is an under estimation. i think we should be looking at least 3 degrees by 2100. this report actually confirms the fear that most of us had, that the indcs just don't go far enough, what this report says is we have a budget of 1,000 billion tons now to 2100 and the world will eat up 75% of the carbon budget by 2030 and after 2030 there are hardly any carbon budget for the world and going maybe 3 degrees or 3.5 degrees so i'm not optimistic we will meet the target of 2.7 degrees, that u.n. is talking about right now. >> so when do we -- do we have any idea then when the temperature is going to peek if we are hurd

the work on making sure that we have the partnerships with the right ngos to provide the service is something i look forward to working with you on and appreciate your efforts. i wanted to go back to the judges and the backlog. and again, i may have found a way to actually wave the camp lejeune toxic subject into this hearing after all. i promised you. you know, a part of what i think we need to do, as long as we have the backlog that we do, then we need the judicial capacity to clear the backlog. but then it does raise a question, to your knowledge, what kind of work has been done to try to reduce -- get to the root causes of some of these appeals. for example, in the lejeune incident right now, they have an 87% decline rate. we are guessing it should be somewhere north of 50. i don't know the root causes of all the appeals, but you all know of any particular area where the experience rate that causes an appeal may raise questions about the criteria to begin with? i'll just go down the line and start with miss augustine if you have a comment. >> as was mentioned earlier, as there have been a
