pick up the pace and agree to a deal to fight global warming. and is the world's most expensive spice farm for generations. but it's fast becoming a victim of climate change. we'll take you to indian administered kashmir. ah, saddam's military as appointed a new ruling council more than 2 weeks after seizing power, general abdel for to albert hon, who's also the army chief, has been sworn in to had it up. the 14 member body excludes members of the main civilian coalition, and astral and condemnation from the un. my counter reports. ah, once again, the protesters take to the streets of cartoon. ah, the city has been at the centre pro democracy demonstrations since the uprising that overthrew form alida omar l basha. the formation of a new sovereign counsel described as an extension of the military takeover. and in the united nations, the office of the secretary general was quick to react, were obviously taking a look at these developments. oh, i would say they're very concerning. oh, we want to see a return. oh, to the transition as quickly as possible. the transition government was intended to guide the country towards democratic elections in 2023. it was disbanded by military leaders. last month, the prime minister placed under house arrest and a number of political figures imprisoned. the security council held a hastily arranged meeting to discuss the crisis. no statement was issued by the council as a whole. b u. k is the pen holder, which means it takes the lead on the issue. and the ambassador had this to say, we remain gravely concerned by reports of further unilateral action by the military, which is against the spirit and the letter of the constitutional declaration. we had a very helpful briefing from the special representative of secretary general val capacities who was very frank in his assessment that the window now is closing for dialogue and for peaceful resolution. the protestant cartoon could also have been intended to spur international reaction. but for the moment, the security council is weighing what its next action will be. mike hannah, audius' era, united nations, rental soda has more now from cartoon. right after the announcement of the new a sovereignty council had it by the army general of to for, to have hand people started to protest in 5 different districts in the capitol hartman. so in of bank street a l scheffer as a half a bully, java and, and barry district, the so did the protest or steel ongoing people are dra are, are, are barricading the rules and they're burning the tires. the main issue here. now the determining factor will be that the reaction of the stress and opposition parties, they are very aware of that, that if they can't put enough pressure from the streets on, did the military rule, maybe they can force them to, to step back. but the export says esl for the opposition forces in the country have been quite a fragmented, and the internal disagreements and in fighting's, how weakened their position, particularly when it comes to, to, to, to organize the street. and also to put a, a pressure that could bring a result on, on her own mr album hand. so the set of these going to be given us a clear picture, whether the position in this country is able, it is able to mobilize enough people to force general alber half or more concessions. so let's take a closer look at how sedan got to this point. military and civilian leaders were sharing power off the long term leader. amaral bashir was ousted, falling mass protest in 2019 both sides. blame each other. the slow reforms are worsening, economic crisis, and corruption, and that led to major divisions within the transitional government. what things came to a head last month when general abdel fata albert hun dissolve the interim government and detained. the civilian prime minister. poland is sending more troops to its border with bella, luce accusing its neighbors encouraging migrants and refugees to try to across as a way into the european union. the block is preparing new sanctions against bella. ruse president, alexander lucas. shank. i says he's prepared to retaliate by cutting off gas supplies as big as more from the border with thousands of people are still camped out in the cold. as the temperature plunges, they try to keep warm as best they can hear. all men, women, children, huddling around fires. bella ru, says, there are more than 2000 refugees and microns camped out here with more arriving all the time we used to foster la fled syria. he's now relatively safe in poland when he was driven towards the border by bela lucien police. but he says he was also beaten. he gave me the fries or with her, his the foot. so i 1st of all to couple minutes or a whine, noise and broken bond in here and my eyes are small decker threw up all over them in a little sin shall managed to cross the border just a day ago. he says billy routine forces bust them to the borders, dressed in civilian clothes, they cut the wires on the board a fence and forced them to cross. oh he still afraid and didn't want to show his face. they said, either you cross or you die here on 5 of the soldiers beat me on my leg and took 2700 euros from me and forced me across the border of the arp holds here that are trying to help this charity has collected clothes and food, i think we are all very afraid that people die very quickly in really ah, and we will not be able to do anything about it because they will die on the bellows and site or in the zone of the special. and they're just as they at least 7 people have died here in recent months. there's a real fear that number could grow. but also how long can discontinue this 15000 polish forces at the border with daily attempts from people to cross. the still 1000 stuck in freezing temperatures with nowhere to go aside. beg, i'll de 0. poland blue and security council is held a closed door meeting to address the border crisis. western countries including the u. s. and u. k. se beller was trying to destabilize its neighbors and our calling for stronger international action. kristen salumi has more from the united nation caribbean members of the security council called this closed door meeting amid rising tensions at the border between poland and bella roofs. afterwards, the estonian master spoke to the media flanked by other european members of the council. in the united states, accusing the president, alexander lucas shanker of bella, roost of facilitating migrants crossing the european union has been at odds with bella luce ever since. the contested 2020 elections after which it imposed sanctions on the country. the bill of russian authorities should understand that putting pressure on the european union in this way through a cynical instrumentalists zation of migrants will not succeed. russia, the deputy ambassador also spoke his president, vladimir putin has also been accused of being behind the crisis by poland. but the deputy ambassador denied his country or bella roost had anything to do with bringing migrants to the border. there is a game of shifting gleam. now, by the union, they want to picture deliveries and sometimes even russia as perpetrators of this crisis. well, we've got use that. the main slogan of them to western politics right now is keep commonly in russia. so it's no surprise for us. he went on to say that if any one was responsible for the crisis, it's the western nations who created the conflicts which many of the migrants are fleeing. china ruling communist party has passed a resolution that will pay the way for president. she shim ping to extend his time and power possibly indefinitely. the motion recognises she is vital to china's wealth and puts him as equal with the parties most important historical figures, including the found it mounted on. she's expected to pursue a 3rd 5 year term breaking with tradition. well, katrina, you joins us live now from beijing katrina. so just talk us through the significance of this motion passed by the ruling party. i don't know. i think the significance of this motion is that what it has done is elevate, she's in tang, is not just an ordinary leader like president dur biden is a leader of a country. it's made. she didn't bring literally a living legend and how it's done. this is by creating a historical resolution. now, here in china, the communist party is really kind of obsessed with history, uses history as a way to put everyone on the same page as a powerful political and propaganda tool. and in this historical resolution, which was passed after this year's plenum, the 6th a plenum as it's known here, we've seen 2 things really stated here. the 1st is that it's looked over the achievements of the communist party, for the past 100 years glorified these achievements. and at the same time glossed over a lot of the mistakes. and what that really does is it legitimizes the communist party as the only political force and the only political system really capable of running china. and secondly, it really looks at the position of she didn't think i've lost you down, but i'm going to keep going here. she didn't being really, it's talked about his achievements. it talks about his virtues. there was a release to communicate from this peanut and it said that she didn't thing is the call leader. this is the the, the phrase that's usually used her to refer him to call leader. it says that he's adapted marxism to modern china, and it says that he is a man of tremendous political courage and a powerful sense of mission. so what has happened here is that she didn't think has been enshrined as a figure who is critical to the success of china, and there's only been 3 other li, a 2 other leaders or 3 other, 2 other historical resolutions that have been passed in the history of the communist party, the 1st was passed by mouth to dong who's the founder of the communist party. he passed his ra, historical resolution in 1945. and he has been subsequently known as a leader who stood up for china stood up to 5 a foreign powers and made shyness stand up. secondly, we had another historical resolution. the 2nd one in 1981 released under the leader dunk sal ping, and he was the man who is known today as being the person who made china wealthy. and now we have this 3rd historical resolution in 2021 under she jin paying and he is being touted as the man who's making china a superpower. and what we've seen as a result of all of this as well. the centralization of power under she'd in paying is this really, the party is made. she's been paying a kind of gatekeeper. he's the man who are people go to fort all of these high level decisions when it comes to domestic, as well as international issues and critic say, well, there is a danger in that. and the danger being is that it might make china less flexible, less able to adapt all to resolve problems, more insular, and at the same time that it might make the communist party less able to deal with constructive criticism which could have serious consequences. not only for the for the 1400000000 people in china, but also for the world are to continue you live for stay in beijing. katrina. thank you. ah, no, i was united nations climate summit enters its final day. the you and chief

so net pseudo pledges require rapid suspend the mission scott, these vectors. and i welcome the recognition of the spec in yesterday's us trying the cooperation agreement that i can see that an important step in the right direction. but the problem is ring hollow when the fossil fuels in this for the seal receive still use in subsidies as measured by the i m f. or when countries are still
