Lets go down to clare galvin of School Strike for climate australia joining us now from cairns thats on the north east coast of australia good morning to you claire thanks so much for coming in today. You know one question we have is that is in addressing the bushfires that continue to burn in parts of australia the government where you are has repeated that its skeptical that those bushfires are tied to Climate Change is that a widespread opinion that youve been confronting and and seeing with people when when youre at your rouse. Yes this is absolutely something we are needing to address and across the straley. Sometimes it can be really hard to engage and talk about Climate Change but weve been seeing from least hounds that have been absolutely devastated by bushfires adecco in on the government to take Climate Action the man out of one of the towns in glen innes was calling on Scott Morrison our Prime Minister to address Climate Change to what it is and a knowledge that links that it has to these catastrophic bushfires that weve been having. Ok cares where you are its considered the the gateway to the Great Barrier reef ive been there its a fantastic city a lot of nature a Climate Change there is unfortunately having a devastating impact clare what needs to be done urgently where you are so where i am im on the Great Barrier reef and weve experienced back to back mass carolled leaching which is really severely affected out on each year in that time so its really clear that the government needs to take serious Climate Action and that includes stopping the donny coal mine which is a massive month of hers flawless central queensland. We call in full 100 Percent Renewable Energy by 2030 and a Just Transition to Renewable Energy for the workers in the fossil fuel industry because in astrology we have a lot of what his and communities that rely on the fossil fuel industry so its really important that we are able to transition these blankets so that we can implement Renewable Energy and the kind of house of the well there you have the workers in the fossil fuel industry and in the of course Tourism Industry as well so theres kind of a confrontation there isnt there a do you see your protest building the kind of momentum necessary to turn your demands and the public policy. Absolutely sorry i remember exactly your dart. I was stretching outside my local m. P. s office and we had around 50 people there and full of the masses of. Global strike we had more than 1500 people in a regional town which is really quite amazing and were really seeing is building were seen Climate Change become a mainstream issue that lets really and really care about sorry i think its really a matter of time before the government is really forced to address this serious issue ok claire thanks very much clearer galvin for us today from a School Strike for climate australia thanks so much for joining us from carrots thank you well i was the australian perspective and well be bringing you other viewpoints and full coverage of todays Global Climate strike in other news u. S. President donald trump says hes restarted peace talks with the taliban 3 months after breaking off the negotiations in housman coming during a surprise president ial visit to afghanistan where he celebrated thanksgiving day with american troops its from his 1st visit to the site of americas longest running war. Well after talks with afghan president. Trump said the taleban was ready to commit to peace. To taliban wants to make a deal and were meeting with them and were saying it has to be a cease fire they wanted to cease fire but now they do want to do a ceasefire and i believe it probably work out that way and well see what happens will be a tremendous british lets get more now with the freelance journalist elise long shard in kabul good morning to you elise is there a sense where you are that the taliban is now ready to talk peace. Oh its hard to tell on the one hand there is because theyve agreed to the hostage swap theyve said it so ive said it a lot of set said that they wanted it but theres also sense a lot of people dont trust that he will happen because while combat continues civilian continue to die attacks and also the taliban are in one its not because some taliban say they want peace and all taliban will want peace so it depends on if you mean the taliban indoor or all 100 percent of the taliban in afghanistan. But there just before the president arrived there was another attack in afghanistan a number of People Killed there and part of any deal would mean over the role of american troops what would it was drawl of u. S. Forces mean for security and can have troops pick up the slack. Id say it doesnt look great because ive already struggling theyre struggling to recruit most of them the army the police theyre really on the defensive struggling to outpost really far away its was lee the special forces that do the work so really limited parts and the casualties have been really high they dont publish the official numbers anymore but if you look at what you can get in the press its really theyre not in a good place and you also depend on what money they still get from the americans because they need to have salaries salaries are already very low and often late so it doesnt look great its impossible to know but he doesnt great. Person trump with was in afghanistan for thanksgiving day it was his 1st visit to afghanistan since taking office out of the thanksgiving day visit go down in afghanistan. In looks like it went well like theres nothing bad reported that but it wasnt like calling it a visit to afghanistan is it was a few hours spent on the u. S. Base in the north of kabul he didnt go into kabul he stayed in the bays the american base and it was really stress not as like an him an important moment for the negotiation but more as things giving visit to the americans like to like support the troops more than it was in any of fishel evidence with the taliban to advance the negotiation but it looks like it went whoa at least bush ordered for a start so much elise for that from kabul today. Well china has reacted angrily after President Trump approved measures backing prodemocracy activists in hong kong says it will take firm countermeasures against the u. S.

Beijing says it will use countermeasures if the u. S. Continues quote down the wrong path. All a matter of what china says the prodemocracy protesters are determined to continue their campaign now during their demonstrations the fog of tear gas like this has perhaps become the defining image of todays Hong Kong Police have fired more than 10000. 00 rounds of tear gas against protesters and residents say its having a Lasting Impact on their health. When kathy ju and patricia near rented their green room apartment in hong kong suburb of 2 months the 2 roommates how did was a good deal price was reasonable and the building in good shape but now they wish they had never moved here come along by my nose off an itch is in my skin feels itchy and dry i feel very uncomfortable and i have diarrhea that usually lasts for a few days and had to go to the toilet a few times every night i hold hold hold out come out of kathy things that it is a consequence of the tear gas dont moan has become one of the hot spots of hong kongs protests often clashes occur just below their window that night also that usually protesters would set up roadblocks here police would then come to remove them and they fired tear gas to try to catch the protesters so they could build a similar way to get. You to that tense atmosphere in the city they do not want to show their face and ask us not to reveal their area names but will say they have not joined any protests since the peaceful marches in june but that does not save them from the fact. The mood is up then your when they fire tear gas i close all the windows in the doors but i can still smell it and feel uncomfortable the whole shebang. Since june the police have fired more than 10000. 00 canisters of tear gas chemical irritant but mainly affects the alleys lawns and the skin its uses prohibited as a chemical weapon in warfare then allowed in riot control although its effects are meant to be temporary to have been case reports of chronic i diseases caused by the chemical. They were also some cases that they know as much to begin with but after exposure to tear gas some of the protest has actually developed to spread like symptoms for 2 to 3 years and there there were also cases that. People people look chronic eczema because of skin problems theyre mccartys for a number of years. While the highest risk lies with from plan protesters enjoying a list residents have little chance to escape the consequences of tear gas as many protests have in densely populated areas. I saw a doctor he asked me where i live and then he said i should consider moving away if i could show you some insight on that both of them plan to stay with relatives who some time but moving home is out of question the landlord would not let them cancel their content.
