The first concrete evidence weve ever had of massive voter fraud. We have talked about it at nausea. This proves it. We have not made any referrals yet. It is not about just blankly trying to arrest somebody. You have to have evidence of a crime.

In a new report, the United NationsIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says continued emissions of Greenhouse Gases will cause further warming and longlasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts. Unveiling the findings, panel chair Rajendra Pachauri said the window for action is closing. As it happens, the window of action is really closing rapidly, so we have a really short window of opportunity. If you look at the total budget to insure the temperature increase by the end of the century will not exceed two degrees celsius, we have already used up substantial share of this. What is remaining for us is only 275 gigatons of carbon. So this clearly shows we have a very limited window of opportunity, and i think the Global Community must look at these numbers and show the result by which we can forget about change. To keep Global Warming below the agreedupon limit of two degrees celsius, the panel says the world must keep fossilfuel emissions to around one trillion tons of carbon dioxide. At current emissions rates, that amount will be reached in just thirty years, maybe even less. Less than 400 billion dollars a year is being spent to reduce emissions or adapt to Climate Change. By contrast, corporations are spending over 600 billion dollars to find new sources of co2 extraction and governments are spending that same amount on subsidizing fossil fuelconsumption. The ipccs report is its fifth and final assessment on Climate Change ahead of Global Negotiations in paris next year. Democracy now will be covering the un climate talks from lima, peru next month.

Talk about what is happening in your continent in africa and western africa, your region. Ebola crisis could have been stopped 20 years ago with the first case, but nothing has been done. Were more into emergency and making news about stuff. It is the same thing with Climate Change. Before,taken the action then we would not be here now spending more money to stop it. That is notisease the face of africa. But today, it is becoming the face of africa, not only west africa, but the face of africa where people are so scared about having ebola, not thinking and not knowing that africa is not about the ebola. Why do you think it wasnt stop before . Is ine malaria, it africa. If it doesnt touch those in western world, nobody cares. It is been going on forever. Theeans nothing as long as people can make business, make money out of africa, the life of the citizens and the people of africa they dont care. I want to talk about the media. That is were so many people learned what is happening. Lets turn to a clip from fox news the Oreilly Factor. Last month, Host Bill Oreilly said president obama should cancel all flights from west africa and turn away anyone holding a passport from the region. Many people are frightened and angry that ebola may spread throughout the usa. What should the federal government do . Since it is washingtons obligation under the constitution to provide for the common good, first of all, all flights from west africa should immediately be discontinued to the usa. In europe should do the same thing. Now, i. For the west african nations, but there is an epidemic of ebola there. It will spread because the incubation period lasts for up to 21 days. U. S. Immigration should allow no one, no one to enter this Country Holding a passport from any west african nation. That is below riley on the Oreilly Factor from fox. Your response, Angelique Kidjo . Well, im used to that talk. Today. American citizen i dont watch fox because it is all about fear mongering. Stoppingt talk about people from traveling because you are afraid of having ebola on your content. You should help the african take care ofem to it and do business as usual. America i mean, the way he is we can do the same. If we overcome ebola we can say, every company that comes from america, what are they going to do . It is always the double standard. I want to say to the african people, and do not do as we do, do what we say. Why should we take orders from them . Onceican countries we get the ball out of our homes, dont come back to him into somewhere else. I want to turn to your piece in the New York Times when you talked about posting on facebook that your concert wednesday in Carnegie Hall. What happened . I opened my facebook in the morning to see what is going on as a usually do, the first one that arrives is we wonder if she is bringing ebola to Carnegie Hall. Second one somebody said her post should not be called mama africa, but momma ebola. That is ignorance. I have lived in this country am is 20 years. Ive traveled around the world. If im sick, im responsible and i will take up myself. And it is not the case. Africa country is more beautiful than any other part of the world. The music that the American People love to listen to, all of them come from africa. We have to celebrate that beauty. We have to celebrate the positive africa that i grew up in. People are resilient and africa. They dont ask westerners to come to the rescue. They want westerners to be their partner. They dont want pity. They dont want patronizing. If people Start Talking like this, a means this for mongering politics of the republicans are hitting people. You cannot use peoples lives of Peoples Health for political gain. It is not good. To thenot tie ebola Obama Administration. He is nothing to do with it. We have to say that then obama is god. So he is overseen everybody is life on the planet. Theyre going to blame obama for it . Something happens in europe and theyre going to blame obama for it . We have to deal with this outbreak that is killing lives by addressing the Health System in africa. That is the point.
