A tough course in a bid to force it to meet emissions targets. But begin in iran where the parliament has passed a draft motion to hold unrestricted access by the International Atomic Energy Agency to its Nuclear Sites. The proposed changes could allow iran to resume the radium enrichment at levels of 20 percent under the 2050 nuclear deal that the United States withdrew from iran was limited to producing below for a sense lets go live to teheran of 0. As i said, because for, as i said, give us some of the background to work today as part of a tree vote. Well, this parliamentary vote was instigated after the assassination of irans leading scientist more painful. Now this conservative parliamentarian to hold a majority in the parliament, they control parliament. They put forward a motion that calling on the government to stop i. A. E. A. Inspectors. Currently i. A. E. A. Inspectors can access Irans Nuclear sites without any prior notice. So its unrestricted under something called additional protocol. Now these conservative politicians are calling on the government to stop that. Theyre also calling on the government to increase enrichment to 20 percent. Currently, its just over the limit. In the 2015 nuclear deal, its roughly 4. 5 percent, not 20 percent is concerning. Because once you get to 20 percent, it doesnt take much effort to get to 80 percent, which is weapons grade. But iran says it doesnt want a nuclear weapon, but what essentially is playing here is that the conservative parliamentarians that grouping has a difference of opinion with the government which is run by has and rouhani, and the reformist, not reformist, have said that they dont agree with this that this is unhelpful and unnecessary, but the conservatives want a response. They want to response to the assassination. They say that negotiations have got us nowhere. Weve still have sanctions against us. We had the cessation of general qassam. So the money and the assassination of this lead scientist and we need to do something. This was a draft motion. So what happens next . Well, the government doesnt agree with this. If we just had a Government Spokesperson speaking, he said, look, the parliament doesnt have the right to mandate the government to do this. It is the Supreme National Security Council. So this motion goes to the guardian cancer than if the Supreme National Security Council agrees with then it comes into play. But there is that difference between the government and the conservatives. Know whats also interesting is a part of this motion. It gives a timeframe of 2 months essential to waiting until president elect joe biden gets into office and giving him the opportunity to turn around what donald trump has done. As foreign minister divides said previously, he could do this with some executive orders where he does that or not is a different issue. But the conservatives are very unhappy and, and there is a feeling of anger and frustration in the country. But its a matter of whether the government can hold them off. And ultimately, is this going to happen right now . Its all down to the Supreme National Security Council. And it could be that this is just kicked into the long grass and isnt implemented reporting live from tehran. I said many thanks. Indeed. The United Nations has appealed to ethiopian authorities for access to thousands of eritrean refugees in the to great region. It says that food is police to run out due to the month long conflict, tens of thousands of people have fled. The fighting for refugee camps in they bring sudan. Valda reports different by hunger, refugees queue for lunch at the camp. The food is prepared and served by relief groups with the help of refugees. But the choices are limited. Looking at this, these people have been living on lentil soup, with a portion of sorghum pards for 20 days. This type of food doesnt necessarily suit everyone. They hugged, i didnt hear little, you know, we have only this type of food that you see here. I had it for 14 days. Now people are throwing it away. They dont want it anymore. The World Food Program is the main provider of aid relief in the camps. It says every registered refugee gets enough to eat. This is the main food store of the w. S. P. Program inside the camp play say what is available here is enough to feed 8000. 00 people for an entire month and more is coming soon. So according to them, there was no shortage of food in the camp. Russians include bread sort of gum lentils, who can go oil or salt and food supplements for newborns and nursing mothers. This is early. Hopefully well get all of these people off the porridge as quickly as possible. The key is we get them registered. And then as soon as thats the case, then we will be giving them monthly russians will be able to manage it themselves. 75 year old try to keep barely starts eating when he abandons his meal. But a few in the camp are being creative. This woman was a government accountant and shes 6 months pregnant. She has boycotted the partridge and started a little food business of her own that it never ate this type of food back home. We simply dont know if we can take it since i had a little bit of cash. I wrote some meat flour to make bread, and so that suits my tastes. Little brown makes bread and soup for her family and sells whats left over. Using the money to buy more supplies, supplying the demand for food people here want to eat while aid groups do what they can to manage the humanitarian crisis. And how to joins us now live from a campus in sudan. Whats happening behind you that well, this is the registration queue because it is so it is conditions in a quantum here to be able to get any rations to be able to get any help from the n. G. O. S. All people begin here when they come from ethiopia, its a bio medical education, very well organized and they are trying to get everyone on board. We have seen a fresh effort today, a new type of help being given to the few g. s here. And it is cash, cash donations. The Refugee Council houses started to hand out cash amounts. And i just sort of refugee the amount of about 25. 00 u. S. Dollars per month. We have asked some of these refugees. They said they are happy about it because it is like it is an additional and additional help because they already get fashions. They already get the food. And now they have the cash they think is the more dignified way of helping them because there is a lot of you know, that they need for the, particularly the families with their babies and so on. They need a lot of things that the cannot be satisfied by just, you know, food handouts and so on. So the situation is improving. Its a very well organized operation. Here. We can see a few still coming like a few, 100 of them coming over the day. The divide is camps according to the sources and also our own eyes. So people are still coming in but not in big numbers. And what we can see is that they are being helped out, but we also know that there is still a huge crisis in terms of particularly in terms of shelters. They dont have enough shelters. So thats something to be improved. I think over the last, over the next 2 days and whats being done about the issue we heard about in your report the were hearing that theres plenty of food, but its, but its not the right sort of food. I mean the food could be in italy, she says and so on. So i mean they have sugar, they are salt, things like this. So it could be nutritious and its in food, right. But the, the main complaint is about the variety. There is no variety. It is since they came here about 22 or 23 days ago, they get the same thing, the same thing and they are unhappy with the, you know, and up with it, they want to change. And some of them think that this is simply not their taste. This is not the type of wood they are used to back home and us that the main problem i had many thanks did i was reporting live from the camp in sudan. The final 2 contested states, wisconsin and our reserve have certified their Election Results in favor of joe by the process is normally a formality but took on added significance as president. Trump continues his baseless claims of electoral fraud. Aljazeera kristen salumi reports the governor of arizona. A republican makes it official signing off on Election Results, declaring democrat joe biden, the winner in his state. By just over 10000 votes, arizonas secretary of state assured voters the election was conducted by the book, caring feet, accuracy and fairness. In accordance with arizonas law and elections procedures, despite numerous unfounded claims to the contrary. Those claims coming from none other than President Donald Trump and his personal attorney, rudy giuliani, who met with some Arizona State republicans still looking for evidence of fraud that has yet to materialize. While the president s supporters gathered outside 4 out of 5 legal challenges waged by republicans in arizona have been dismissed by the courts. In wisconsin. The president s Campaign Paid 3000000. 00 for recounts in 2 counties, but that only turned up more votes for biden. And that state too, has now officially been certified for the democrat. A recount is essentially an audit of the process that verifies the accuracy of the balloting process. That takes place on election day. I promise that this would be a transparent fair process, and it was both wisconsin and arizona where one by trump, in 2016. This makes joe biden the 1st democrat to win a president ial election in arizona since 1996 President Trump has 5 days to contest the results. There and in wisconsin, which he is expected to do.

Whistleblower in china has leaked documents which show Health Officials misled the public for months about how serious the corona virus was. According to file seen by c. N. N. And verified by 6 experts. The reported number of cases was lower than what was contained in internal documents. C. N. N. Those the documents doesnt indicate dont indicate intentional withholding of information, but rather a mishandling of what officials believed. And what was reported to the public, catrina us in beijing with all the report paints a picture of the Health System in crisis during those early days of the outbreak. And one that was underfunded, understaffed, and bowed down not only by bureaucracy, but also a dysfunctional culture. Where officials were afraid to report the extent of the outbreak. It was quite a hefty document that was leaked about 117 pages. And it said to come from crew based center for disease control. And among the key findings was a significant discrepancy in the numbers that the public were given. The numbers that were circulated internally, for example, february the 7th. According to the document, there were 5900 cases of carbon 19 or so. But the public, formally given the number of about the heart of that. Now this was according to apparently a lack of standardized criteria when it came to reporting, which a lot of officials to basically pick and choose the number that they wanted to reveal to the public. Another finding was about testing that there were huge problems in those early days around testing accuracy and on average, it took the Chinese Government about 23. 00 days to come to a false or negative test results. And much of the time those test results were also potentially giving false negatives as well. Another finding was that during december 2900. 00, just before the magnitude of the epidemic was made known, there was an influenza epidemic in not only rouhani, but 2 neighboring cities. Its not known and thats connected to covert 19, but it could be very pertinent to the investigation regarding the origin of the virus. And finally, potentially the more damning finding was around the mechanism that china has put in place around reporting epidemics that are occurring in china.

James aljazeera of the United Nations. Indias government has invited farmers unions for talks following mass protests over new laws that could affect produce prices. Tens of thousands of people have been taking part in rallies in new delhi. Many traveled from out of state. Farmers are worried that new laws will put an end to minimum prices that theyve been guaranteed, and that will allow private buyers to, to determine the cost of crops. This couple is from elizabeth cohen, who is in single liz, another day of protests, then whats the latest . Another day of protests, despite the fact that we have Something Like 36 family does. Now, attending told with the government that they would invite you to the reason why the protests are continuing though, and theyre not just protests that thousands of families have blocked 2 key bashing highways going into the capital region. They are continuing because Farm Union Leaders have told us that they dont have a lot of faith in these talks. And that is because of comments that promised. In that interim ody may saying that these a good laws which are in the interest of farmers will farmers dont see it that way. Thats why the 1st round of talks were unsuccessful because fatah leaders said that the government didnt listen to them, didnt write guarantees. Im giving them a minimum price for they produce into door, and that is why they are continuing to protest. That is why theyre having these protests, theyre blocking highways. And they say that that theyll continue to do that until the government repeals these laws given. But theyre causing so much disruption of protesting famous public support to the house despite the fact that they are causing disruption. And we see commuters rule could through this highway with their bags because they conned cross on vehicles. Hamas do have a lot of public for caution. A lot of public sympathy, not least because Something Like, well around the hof actually, of indias 1300000000 people working that we call to stick to. So these laws will have an impact on a lot of people. Weve seen in open eyes ations show up with trucks full of food to feed farmers, not that they need it, they have come prepared.

The 1st International Comments about these protests from canadian Prime Minister justin trudeau, who said that canada will always stand by the rights of peoples stand with the rights of people to protest. Thats perhaps not surprising because canada has a large number. People often jobby descent most of these farmers off from punjab, but weve had reaction from the indian government. They werent happy.

I was there as elizabeth warren, im reporting live from single close to new delhi. The amazon rain forest is shrinking at an alarming rate with deforestation. Now at a 12 year high, Scientists Say the rate of clearing has accelerated since jaya balsam our became president of brazil, and we can divine mental protection some of some of m. P. s. He reports from bogota in colombia. From the sky, large swaths of brazils amazon are increasingly looking like this, with long patches of rain, forest destroyed by fires and logging, and its getting worse. New Government Data shows the level of destruction is rose almost 10 percent this year to more than 11000 square kilometers, equivalent to 7 times the size of london. Its the highest level in 12 years. And monday, brazils Vice President promised to fight at the struction point 6 percent is not a number to celebrate. On the contrary, as i said here, i desire is not to have illegal deforestation at all. Inside the amazon, this is what were fighting for. But environmentalists believe the government is to blame since taking office 2 years ago, president jacques made it clear that there is watch. The amazon was opening to business and development. He weakened the countrys environmental and force agency and called for more farming in mining in protected areas, which critics say has emboldened illegal ranchers in miners to clear the forest from that have built in brazil over. But we have that of a growing International Outcry led by European Countries are supposed to send the military into the region to fight the forestation a little has changed. Now, critics hope the election of joe biden as u. S. , president willing crease the pressure given the strong stance on Climate Change. But just days ago took an indirect swipe at biden, in this policy in the rain forest. I recently heard a president ial and it from a country say that if i dont put out the fire in the amazon, hes going to resist trade barriers against brazil. How do we deal with all of that . Diplomacy is not enough. When there is no more saliva, then there must be gunpowder. But they have to know that the amazon is ours. Thats for the world is like nobody has what we have. It will be difficult to convince to defy impulse an attitude change course, but with the effects of Climate Change looming. Many believe its a fight on which the health of the entire world depends. I listen to a Climate Crisis related Court Cases Underway in the netherlands. Friends of the earth is taking Oil Giant Shell to course, trying to force it to reduce its carbon emissions. Environmental activists accuse shell of threatening human rights by knowingly undermining International Climate goals. 7 groups are involved in the case representing more than 17000 citizens, sebastien reports now from the hague. The people for us are shallow. Thats how and why a mental list called this landmark case in the hague. More than 17000 dutch citizens, together with 6 environmentalists organisations and taking one of the worlds most powerful corporations to court. You shout of deliberately putting peoples lives at risk with its increased production of fossil fuels wrong knowing the risks of Climate Change, the company and the written responses as that pond be singled out as a company for its contribution to Global Warming. And it also rejects allegations that more than 30 years ago, the company had unique knowledge about the risks of Climate Change already. Last year, the same court ruled that, failing to reduce Global Warming is a violation of human rights and also ordered the dutch state to reduce its emissions to 20 percent at 2020. But this time, its not a state, but its a company that is on trial for a company with large funds to defend itself. But and via months of missed im still optimistic that they can win this case. And if they do, it will have a major impact on the fight against Climate Change. The Climate Justice Program Coordinator of friends of the earth. She says that shell had many opportunities to change course. This is a really historic case, a plane in the court in the hay today seeking to hold on the was because polluted to cats. Were taking show to court because show is causing dangerous Climate Change. And the year with the is unique because the not asking south of compensation or asking for it to change course so has known for decades. And we, know this because it is only historic documents as far back as the 19 150. 00 s. , that its actions of coups in Climate Change show is currently still planning to continue oil and gas extraction for the coming years. Even though we know that to dangerous Climate Change, the vast majority of those reserves must remain in the ground. So its continued to fester around 95 percent of its funds in oil and gas. So its very much responsible for the Climate Crisis. This is a very small amount that is investing it in renewables. Its refused to take action, and thats why were in the position of taking shots. A court to force change hits had ample opportunity. Civil defense authorities in indonesia have expanded a safety zone around the volcano that erupted on sunday. More than 4000. 00. People have been evacuated from around the illegal talaq volcano. The government says its currently at its 2nd highest level of activity.
