Negotiations are underway in mali between members of the west african bloc echo us and the mali and coup leaders the delegation is trying to find a way forward after a group of soldiers seize power on to say early echo us negotiators met former president. At the barracks where hes being detained or was forced to resign after the takeover. Following developments from a booth in nigeria amid so a number of meetings been held since the echo i said a geisha arrived in bamako on saturday whats been happening have they made any progress. Well. After the brief meeting yesterday that lasted just 15 minutes. It looks like it was talks bound to fail after the meeting with president bramble worker kater at the military barracks this morning and the course delegation went back to the ministry of defense to meet with the mali military coup leaders. After a short meeting they took a break and the statement from one of the coup leaders it is that some progress is being made is so after the break that we turn back around. Late afternoon to continue their meetings from all indications they have been some sort of convergence of ideas and agreements on what to discuss and what to achieve i think a direction was gotten after the meeting with president abram book into a with some reports suggesting that their cause was. Pushing for the idea of him coming back to power and probably maybe the president. Spoke his mind and that prompted the 2nd meeting today thats the feeling right now in bamako as the meeting continue will remember the meeting over there of course delegation was supposed to have met the United Nations and African Union in bamako then suddenly this meeting came that meeting with the United Nations and African Union had to be pushed back because of the urgency of the situation how do mali and people feel about what it is doing in the presence of a class in that country given that their support the militarys move and they want it. Not to be their leader anymore but at the same time i imagine they dont want money to be isolated from from the rest of the region so you know what do they make of this. Its a difficult situation for mali and but speaking with the opposition the m 5 b. You come to understand that whatever the case is they dont want to burn but were going to create a back in power so that is the problem number one you know as much as they dont want sanctions and other punitive measures against mali they say theyre not going to compromise that their fault for bramble could cater to me for months now its time for him to go so that a new beginning for mali will start other millions are watching and closely to see how this affects the generality of millions but the good news out of it all was when ecorse announced a list of sanctions on mali closing the borders closing airport stopping for a nation in 12 then 2 days later they came in with another statement saying that ok food and medicines have been exempt from these sanctions that gave some to mali and a country a number a country that is struggling with its economy in a very very bad shape and considering the fact that in northern mali and towards the border with. You have violence going on there the only outlet probably would be algeria and more taney anybodies to countries go prate with their cause and in stopping. In stopping the employer food and medicines as well as cash there would be a lot of problems in money thank you so much for that where the latest on the situation from mali.

It will really require unprecedented Political Action to prevent the most severe consequences to our planet yeah the researchers conclusion is that all the regions have suffered devastating reductions in ice cover in the past 3 decades and these losses are continuing what disruptions have you observed and where have the losses been the most significant so. Indeed. The alarming finding is that its already gens. Who are suffering from from these reductions. Of the greenland greenland glacier and the antarctic. Glaciers are melting as well as in the arctic. So what should we do about that and a smaller and smaller glaciers in the mountain regions and in polar agents yes so nora what should we do about this you talked about Government Action but what else should be done and what should we as individuals be doing. Yes and. Its clearly stating that its human made Carbon Emissions that are. Causing the climate breakdown and causing the loss of eyes. In the most urgent thing governments and everybody should be doing is. Limiting our cutting Carbon Emissions so really and transforming Energy Systems away from polluting fossil fuels to completely renewable Energy Systems and on top of that of course we know that healthy nature healthy oceans healthy forest they can be our strong ally in this in this indispensable so governments now have a very important opportunity as well to agree a strong global ocean treaty at the United Nations that will allow at least a 3rd of the worlds oceans to be fully protected by 2030 and allowing. Oceans full of lives also take take in this carbon and thereby help slow down and i mean change thank you so much for talking to us about this nora mehta polar advisor at greenpeace know what it joining us there from here thank you thank you for your time your. Thank you so much i tend not to catch up on sports funny thank you very much its a football battle between a club familiar with being europes best and one thats invested a lot of money in a quest for more success with just a few minutes from kick off in the Champions League final between buying munich and paris send your men the german club a 5 time champions and have the competitions highest score in their ranks thats robert. Hes got 15 goals so far by aiming to win the 11th consecutive Champions League match and no club has ever achieved that feat. But 1st time violence p. S. G. Have the big names to match the likes of 11 dogs the french club have a formidable front line of name or in killing them bar pay some to qatari takeover of the club 9 years ago hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent building a squad capable of european glory but theyre well aware of the threat posed by byron yet. The flick not to listen in now under hansie flick theyve had an absolutely incredible run and have a great mix of hungry players from a new generation who want to make their mark and they have experienced players who want to win the Champions League again playing at the highest level in europe but i dont like to compare them to the others at the moment that the best team in europe playing in the final at the hardest European Competition public funds and is in the top of course p. S. G. Have a lot of pace in this side theyre a top team with some incredible players and its a very exciting match that seeded in our games in the past 10 months weve always tried to impose our style of play weve always played with a high line against the opposition and ultimately this is been our guarantee of success so we wont want to change too much. A. P. s Global Sports correspondent rob has been covering the mini to an event in lisbon and says that its been a success well its been highly unusual the fact that weve had the single games rather than 2 legged fortified annals and semifinals its perhaps made them less cagey affairs that being more exciting teams of really have to go for it just think back just less than 2 weeks ago the stadium behind me here at them p. S. G. Were so close to going out so the torment they beat something at the lancer had to equalize the 90th minute and then grab the winner perhaps if it had be original format we would have had a more sort of tense affair trying to push it into a 2nd leg when the last couple of hours i had a chance to sit down with the weight of Preston Alexander schaeffer and what is revealed is hes very keen on retaining some elements of this format if possible he said he will have to sit down with the various stakeholders across football to get their views but he says the feedback hes had is its very exciting and he believes that even though you might reduce the number of games by having single legs from 2 legs the value of them could go up to league is was interested before interesting before its interesting. Its quade to. Experience if you have to. Think about changing something that works well anyway so its not the pressure that something doesnt work and we have to change it we dont have to change anything. But. Weve got some new years and i think its very hard to hold a final a competition like this in a single city with fans due to all the rival factions gathering but maybe we could see a final 4 format gallery in one week and create that sort of super bowl style for a city or a single country but of course it was this was all a forced by the pandemic and the fact that even managed to complete this competition is something that didnt seem possible just a few months ago.
