hello i mary. i'm democracy in london. you're watching. ouch. is era also coming up on the program? protest groups in sudan called for a strike against military as pro democracy demonstrate as barricade rhodes in the capital in japan's new prime minister is projected to win elections, but the ruling party's loss of seats in the parliament could we can fully up cuz she does power ah, walled leaders have agreed on the need to take action to fight climate change and prevent global warming by no more than one and a half degrees above pre industrial levels. but they've also been criticized for making no commitment to achieve. net 0 carbon emissions by 2050. the use of coal was highly contentious. g 20 leaders agreed to start financing new coal plants, but did not agree to and coal power in their own countries. this is important because the meeting was meant to be a springboard for the cop 26 gathering in glasgow. and includes countries which account for 80 percent of global admissions. we have lots of crisis the hell to incline, the global poverty, the muslim attrition gender, and generational need qualities demand stronger action that we've taken so far. so i asked myself what we mean when you say we've succeeded but in walk we succeeded. well, we certainly pledged considerable resources. we also care to manual these co meet when we increase their strength, their scope. but mostly we made sure that our dream says the secretary general, united nations are not only alive, but also that they are progressing. algiers, kimberly alca has been following developments in rainforest and explains how the outcome of the g. 20 is liked, like he to effect the cop 26 climate summit in glasgow. this is a climate conference that many had hoped that the g 20 meetings would kind of have an energy that that would start that climate conference. and instead, what we're getting from this draft communique has been very disappointing for so many what is, seems to be the real issue with it is this failure to get a firm date for carbon neutrality. and the language that we're seeing in this final communique that basically says that they've agreed to reach carbon neutrality by around the mid century is what many are saying really lacks ambition. it fails to meet the moment and is going to make the work in glasgow at that you and climate summit so much more difficult. and so there is language here that says that in fact, they have committed to limiting global warming by 1.5 degrees celsius. but at the same time, we know that you and climate scientists were looking for so much more warning that there needed to be so much more an order to avert the climate catastrophes that were already starting to see into a growing pace around the globe. so this is the disappointment that has been expressed by many u. s. president joe biden ran i and got into office, largely because of his commitment to combating climate change, calling it an existential threat. all the focus will now shift from runs, the scottish city of glasgow for the cop 26 climate summit. it is from every region in the world are expected to discuss their plans to cut emissions. the u. k is hosting the event which the prime minister barak johnson is called, a whiles moment of truth and portions prince charles says, describe the meeting as make or break for the planet. listen, look up to 6 begins in glasgow to morrow. quite literally. it is the last chance saloon we must now translate fine words into still finer actions. and as the enormity of the climate, jalap challenge dominates people's conversations from news rooms to living rooms. but as the future of humanity and nature herself are at stake. it is surely time to set aside our differences and grasp this unique opportunity to launch a substantial green recovery by putting the global economy on a confident, sustainable trajectory, and thus saber planet. while our environment editor nick clark is in glasgow for this and he gives us more contacts now on why cop 26 is important to say there's a lot at stake here in glasgow. busy is an understatement, the science tells us what needs to be done, and we'll see in the holes behind me over the next 2 weeks. if national leaderships have what it takes to step up, the world is overheating, and extreme weather is already hitting hot. and to demonstrate the importance of this conference, we return to every in greece scene of those devastating wildfires in the summer weather still picking up the pieces in early august with temperatures at unseen highs, wildfires ripped across southern europe. the land was parched and the fires quickly spread. northern heavier in greece was a hardest hit. inferno lasted for 2 weeks, thousands were evacuated. today you can see what's left. the devastation in this area was total. people are well used to annual wildfires here, but not on this scale. not with this much last thousands of hector's of forest and livelihoods just incinerated. and because of the fires a new threat as the rain comes so do floods and mudslides defies of destroy the land, natural ability to withhold water to act as a flood defense system. so now in periods of intense rain, the water just cascades of these hillsides so that using the dead trees to shore the soil and the land intact, it is hard exhausting work, but vital to preserve what's left and encourage regeneration of the forest. a big part of evy as far as the economy has been obliterated. cost as i own use, livelihood comes from his bees who make honey from the resin of pine trees or used to. i feel sad that this once green forest has been burnt, and i find it difficult to figure out what we will do and how be keeping can continue to exist on ever. we will not be around when this forest is once again able to give us honey. so for us, our area has died. collecting pine reson was an important money and for farmers like yours, yours, i could not do, but not any more. he also lost the 5th of his goat, her to the fires. across the island, more animals died than survived. the destruction was great for pharmacy. buildings were burnt, animals were lost, and grazing. land has disappeared. in other words, what we had here was last many years need to go by so that things can return to how they were helping people around the world to adapt to and mitigate against catastrophic events. like this is a big part of the climate conference in glands go. so what success it 26 looked like. the science tells us we need to prevent temperature rising beyond ideally one and a half degrees celsius. but the 2021 production got report shows that current government plans will produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels required to make that happen. so in glasgow, we need a strong declaration that commit to net 0 emissions by 2050, as well as big reductions by 2030. this has been a seismic event that has changed lives perhaps for a generation, but the forest will come back because nature always does. if humanity allows it to . well right now, the omen here and god's go not good. just this week we had that even with the latest global commitments to cut emissions, we're still heading for 2.7 degrees celsius. remember, the target is one and a half degrees. and the $100000000000.00 a year promised by rich nations to developing countries by 2020. well, that went arrive now until 2023. trust is a limited commodity here in clause go and it will be a long, hard battle to reach the agreement. the world needs ah, the sudanese teaches committee is called for a strike in all states across the country. it comes a day after tens of thousands of people rally to denounce last mondays. military co soldiers use tear gas and blocked major roads. at least 4 people were killed. it will morgan brings us the latest now from the streets of hard. tim, where on one of the main roads in sedan capital, in central business district, and normally on a normal day around this time, which is mid afternoon in hot assume the roads are jammed with scars and the shops are open. and that's because this road connects to many state institutions and many banking institutions in the heart of the capital. but right now, there are very few cars on the street and many shop remain closed. and this is a week after the military take over. now today is the 1st day of the work and we many people here say that they are very wary and they're very uncertain of the coming days. it's also they often nationwide protest people calling for the release of prime minister, the lamb built on his cabinet members who are arrested on monday. when the military took over many protests of have called on people to join a civil disobedience movement. and to join general strikes, protested at residential levels, have set up barricade along the main roads and add their neighborhoods to try to get more people to join the civil disobedience movement. but to also make sure that there are fewer people going to work to show the army that they are still protesting against that take over some of the main roads and bridges that were blocked by the military leading to the capital, one of whom have been opened with the exception of 2 bridges, but there are also trees that have been cleared off the barricade set by the protest of the army says that it wants to see life return to normal as a way to form their civilian transitional government. which should be led by the military until elections are held in july 2023. but protested they, they're not going to wait for the formation of that government and see what it looks like. they calling for more protest in the coming days. but in the meantime, they say they will use every means available to show the army that they're not happy with the takeover. and they want every parent to democratic process that was already under way before the army over through the government. on monday, i just want take a closer look now at the pro democracy groups behind the process and civil disobedience movement. sudanese teachers committee that called the strike is part of the sudanese professionals association and network of independent trade unions. it's demanding the restoration of the transitional government. it also includes the sudanese doctors central committee. it's been documenting the injuries and deaths of protesters to counter that governments official figures and the sudanese lawyers union who condemned the arrests of activists and politicians, and called the military oppressive and to tell a tarion. and then on a local level, there are also many so called resistance committees, these a grassroots bodies that are spread across the country that are organizing protests within their communities. or earlier i spoke to theodore murphy, director of the africa program, european council on foreign relations. he says that there is a power shift unfolding here that hasn't been seen in the country before. i think it's demonstrating, 1st of all, that the currency of power has really changed. sudan used to be ruled by the gun. and now the currency of power and sudan is popular mobilization. the military leaders of the generals who have instigated this, who may have hope that it would pass through with a minimum of opposition, both from the street and sudan and the protest movement. and also from the international community, but i think they are rapidly discovering that that was a great miscalculation the demonstrations yesterday. were a sign of that and i think it can only be expected to continue if not escalate. it's not just a question of the 1000000000 government being restored. the protest movement is demanding more than that now. and if we look at the balance of power, believe the rest with the protest. so the protest movement is not just calling for a restoration of the power sharing agreement that existed between the 2 to the military and civilian is calling out for the military to be pushed out of that power sharing marriage altogether and for full civilian leadership to take over the regional government and if you are p as m r a province has calling on all of its residents to take up arms against fighters from the neighboring province of tig rye, it took people's liberation, find the claims to be in control of the strategic town of dessie, but that is disputed by the government and addis ababa horace region lead a say the t p l. s. is attacked, women destroyed, infrastructure and lucid property

to take control of the oil, which province in september, my robe is the last stronghold of the internationally recognized government and yemen. to lead on the program augustine's long march is over after an agreement, and 10 days of often violent protests. digging for gold in ecuador, why locals and the government disagree over the future. the ecosystem ah hello there, let's look to australia and it's looking a lot finer and dryer in the west. that's thanks for a smattering of showers that's pulled across more central air is leaving behind. settled conditions in perth, sunshine to be enjoyed here. but some of their shot was falling rather heavily across the northern territory and into south australia. we could see some flash flooding in areas that on used to seeing these kinds of amounts of rain, but further to the northeast, missing coastal showers across queensland. some of those edging into new south wales, but a lot of warms can still be found in that southeast corner temperatures in melbourne and adelaide. well above average. if we look at the 3 day for adelaide, we're touching high into the 30s, early thirty's here. well above average, but the wet weather continues through the middle of the week. now, as we hope across to new zealand, we are seeing fine and dry conditions in both the north and the south island. a few showers coming into play. it is going to turn cooler for christ church. you can see that temperature drop here and it is going to get wet up by the time we get into wednesday now was we moved to south east asia. this is where we are

for the future. join me fade as those of context. india adults is either ah ah, welcome back made stories now. well, leaders of call for meaningful and effective action to fight climate change at the g. 20 summit in rome would have been criticized and making no commitment to achieve net 0 carbon emissions by 2050 president of the united states had talked with his turkish count about russia type odor one at the g 20 summit. the 2 men discuss recent tensions between that countries over turkeys burges of russian missiles and the focus of wall lead is now shifts, roamed the scottish city of glasgow, the called $26.00 climate summit. needed from every region in the world are expected to discuss their plans to cot. emissions will around the world. exploiting natural resources has been important fit economic growth despite the damaging effects it's had to on the environment and the climate in ecuador, illegal mining has been a way of life for many decades. and now there are fears that government plans to issue more international licenses. will cause even more destruction, to raise a bar reports from the northern province of as morale dallas, where a community is resisting the advance of large mining companies. this is the pacific, or dorian forest, an area field with wildlife and unique vegetation. it is slowly being devastated. bulldozers are used to divert the river as illegal miners try to find gold. esanova has been doing this for 12 years. he says he rents the equipment and hires members of the community to help out a loan. when the mug m, as in boy, we bring a machine and we make a hole. and then we get the material and start building a pool. and then we start extracting when we get a 150 grams of colder so than it's worth moving somewhere else. people like they say, lee were spend hours next to the river trying to find a scraps left by bigger miners. she shows us how she's able to find some gold particles that allow her to make around $20.00 a day and feed her 4 children, all of them and we don't get to work every day. we work one week and then that's it . then we have to find another area, had it. we are told some of the country's best gold is found here. lack of government controls, makes it easy for illegal activities to spread. look what's happening here. this is one of the most bio diverse regions in the world. this is little movie river and it's slowly being destroyed by illegal minors. at the same time, local families say that this is the only way they have to make a living. but it's having a huge impact on the environment.

to the river. madonna university research shows their water in the province of am it alice has high levels of aluminum and iron. janet got a best lives in a nearby community. she says her children are showing signs of skin problems. wrestling is yet more lateral once to increase mining and all exploration activity in the country, to jumpstart a troubled economy and to fight illegal operations. but experts say it will not solve equals endemic problems. luckily, because you're busy or if they want to tell us that exploiting these resources will solve our problems of misery under development and that we will progress. but history tells us that has never happened because it's not the 1st time our elite ser, incapable of thinking an economic model that is not only extracting nature's resources because that's where our problems lie. it while those rain forest is among the more threatened in the world, poverty and employment and the promise of development are causing massive damage. the government, the state of fighting it, is desperate to bring international oil and mining companies and give it away. that is, i will as a cedar, it's me that last it while or buck. as dan's government

an interesting there rela men and some relief, as far as this particular new discount turn, will french present. emanuel not gone, has told the u. k prime minister that the bull is in person's court regarding an escalating dispute on a fishing rights, and not on the side lines of achieve 20th run, but fail to reach any agreement. alexey o'brien reports from paris side by side at rome's famous trevi fountain, french president, emmanuel mccall, and british prime minister parish johnson, appeared to be in good humor. but behind the smiles, the escalating tensions between their 2 countries showed no sign of letting up a meeting away from the cameras. failing to bring them closer to agreement, met no la beau in all gone. now the ball is in their court. look, if the british don't make a

seized off the port of laughing thursday. it's captain accused of fishing and french waters without a license. but you don't know when you're looking at the company that owns the boat says it's being used as a porn. and the dispute, the british prime minister, has said the seizure wasn't what he'd expect from a close friend and ally, that it's up to france to step back from its threats on fish. i gotta tell you that the pilot, the position is, is unchanged. and i will, i'll just, i'll just, i'll just say this for the, for the record. i must, i was puzzled to read a letter from the french prime minister explicitly asking for britain to be punished for leaving the you. and i are just have to take say to really, i don't believe that that is compatible either with the, the, the spirit or the letter of the withdrawal agreement relations between the u. k. and france. clearly navigating troubled waters with both sides determined to hold their course and accept brian al, jazeera paris, hundreds of mostly african refugees and migrants have disembarked a turkish flagged cargo ship and greece vessels carrying about 400 people in san a distress signal on friday after its engines failed

projected to keep its majority in the low house of parliament, but prime minister from york, as she does liberal democratic party, is forecasts to lose some seats in the general election. a vote is seen as the 1st big test for the newly appointed leader. we took charge only weeks ago, rob mcbride reports. this has no just been a contest between political parties, but also a struggle against voter apathy. especially among young voters who feel particularly disengaged. on easier life, this campaign in the run up to sundays pole was aimed at encouraging more young people to vote. and waco, having rural japan almost continuously since world war 2. the liberal democratic party is seen by many is the only choice that's in spite of an attempt in this election by the opposition parties to coordinate that campaigns to win over l. d. p . c. panel. i don't have confidence in the other parties or need a liberal democratic party is good enough to my mother. so even though the l e. p is winning big in recent elections, their support in the country is not necessarily high. historically speaking, the victory is indeed led by the set back of the oppositions seen as a test of newly elected prime minister fumey ok. shita. his government faces wide spread dissatisfaction over its handling of the pandemic. he's got a relatively low approval rating, while many voters still seem undecided on him as a leader. many japanese ill, quite helpless about the fact that she's only one choice. you look at the policy that is announced by, for example, by the opposition is all wars less the same and there's no eye opener. there's no convincing argument that's been displayed. and this, i think, is one of the biggest reasons why in the turn out ratio. still remains in the 30 percent out because she there is hoping the promise of a stimulus package to revive the batted economy will win support. oh yeah, we will distribute the fruits of the growth, which means that we will increase your income. i have been saying that we need to have this kind of economic policy the increasing cobit 19 cases during the day after the controversial summer olympics. i did further economic painful

action to fight climate change and to prevent global warming by a no more than one and a half degrees above pre industrial levels, but has been criticism and disappointment with this final communicate for making no commitment to achieve net 0 carbon emissions by 2050. the use of coal was also very contentious. they agreed to start financing new coal plants, but did not agree to and coal power in
