>> one of the really important try yyouiumphs that i expect tos the financial sector saying that we are part of the solution, we're not part of the problem. >> reporter: the primary goals of cop 26 are to secure global net zero by 2050 and limit warming to 1.5 degrees celsius countries are being asked to submit ambitious new 2030 emissions reductions in so-called nbcs, nationally determined contributions it includes phasing out coal, investing in renewable, switching to electric vehicles and reducing deforest tags to adapt to affected communities and natural habitats, have warning systems addrend upgrade more resilient systems and most critical, finance, mobilizing at least $100 billion per year from public and private sector institutions to secure

global net zero. significant announcements are expected from large financial institutions toward this goal.eg >> they are struggling because they don't have the ability to adapt. so i think that there is a responsibility of countries. >> reporter: as of now, 148 countries, that is 75% of paris agreement signatory, accounting for 80% of global emissions, have submitted a new or updated ndc. but more than 200 u.s. companies are pledging to get to net zero by 2040, ten years sooner than the paris agreement. a new u.n. report found that mitigation measures put the planet on a path to 2.7 degrees celsius temperature rise by the end of the century, way more than the paris agreement goal.

48% favor republican glenn youngkin so that is well within the margin of error. call it a toss-up. former president trump is reportedly planning to hold a tele rally for youngkin on monday the night before the election joining us now, founding director of the center for public policy and also school of government and public affairs at virginia commonwealth university a lot of political analysts are calling this race a bellwether ahead of the midterms. is that how you see it >> i think it is really important for the country to take a look at what is happening in virginia. largely because what we're seeing in these polls is that as president biden's numbers decline with independents in particular, terry mcauliffe's numbers have gone down as well and giving glenn youngkin is serious chance to win this race. >> so let's talk about voter enthusiasm which party has the momentum and maybe the edge right now >> well, it is hard to say precisely, but if you take a look at the olls, which are almost all even with the one exception of the fox poll last

night that had glenn youngkin up by eight, they are even polls. but the trend line over the last three or four weeks, the trend line has been toward youngkin. mcauliffe had a four or three point lead that is now down to two and one. so i think that the republicans are gaining confidence while the democrats are chewing antacid tablets. >> how much do you factor what is happening at a national level with the president and the uncertain fate of his spending and infrastructure bills >> i think it has been the most -- or the largest problem, the biggest problem that terry mcauliffe has faced. because what has happened is that for the past four year, democrats did extraordinarily well in virginia when donald trump was on twitter every day and now the democrats are running everything they have the house, the senate, the presidency and still not enough is getting done and that is certainly not

only drawing biden's numbers down but having a very serious impact here in virginia. >> and how much of a factor is school choice and how much might that swing momentum one way or the other? >> glun enn youngkin is saying a mcauliffe sided with big government over parents. and that is a theme of his campaign what he's trying to do is to find some way of uniting the trump base with suburbanites who supported joe biden to get enough there to be able to win and if he is able to solve that puzzle or conundrum which no republican has been able to solve recently in states like virginia, that will be seen as a model. >> and what about the reported plan for former president trump to hold this tele rally monday night, will that help or hurt youngkin >> that is still in question in some ways th early vote in some of the rural areas where youngkin should be very strong has been relatively light and that could help.

but at the same time, donald trump is not popular in virginia, his message of draining the swamp in washingo was seen almost as a direct assault on the most populous area of our state, the northern virginia suburbs right outside of d.c >> bob, thanks appreciate it. and a critic in congress says that he will not seek re-election. adam kinzinger made the announcement today he voted to impeach the former president and he is one of two house republicans on the january 6 committee. and in a video posted to twitter, congressman kin zzinger said he decided it was time to move on that about. >> division is heavily rooted. there is little to no desire to bridge our differences and unity is no longer a word that we use. in order to break the narrative, i can't focus on both a re-election to congress and a

broader fight nationwide >> congressman kinzinger did leave the door open to running again. he said this is just the beginning of his political future the supreme court is set to hear arguments in two controversial cases. on monday the texas abortion law. it bans nearly all abortions in the state blocking them after about six weeks of pregnancy and it allows private citizens to sue anybody who helped someone get the procedure. on wednesday, a second mendmen case, a challenge to a century old new york gun law that requires anybody wishes to carry a handgun in public to provide proper cause before they can get a license. both cases will have major implications for laws across the country. and as america expands its booster campaign and prepares to start vaccinating young kids, millions of people in poorer countries have yet to receive a first dose world health organization now calling on g-20 leaders to end the vaccine inequality the agency reports wealthy

nations have had ministered roughly 133 doses for every 100 people by comparison, poorer nations have had ministered just four doses. meg terrill covers health and science for us should we expect catchup or could the gap get even wider >> reporter: yeah, so remember last year the world health organization and others created a facility called kovacovax to ensure quit onlyequitable vaccis but the report shows that the effort has raised more money than it set out to, but it hasn't been able to secure enough vaccines. as of last month, it was 1.7 billion doses short of its goal of delivering 2 billion by the end of the year. and wealthy nations have the supply, but there is reduced output and some countries like india blocked exports. but even as calls now is for more immediate delivery of doses, there is also increasing focus on the need to help

administer them. we spoke with the man who leads the covid response >> in the next three months or so, as vaccine volumes continue to grow and availability continues to improve, i think that we'll see that become the limiting factor in more and more countries. >> reporter: so it is hard to picture now, but forecasts actually suggest vaccine supply to covax will grow significantly. and the world may soon find itself in a similar situation as the u.s. in the spring a switch from too little supply to too much to administer effectively. and the suggestion is that even from afghanistan to places like haiti and africa will help with vaccine administration and he says country needs different things some to help pay vaccinators others, logistics support. and hesitancy is an issue too.

but he said most helpful is a steady supply of vaccines. and that it is not just being a global good citizen to help. it reduces the risk of new variants that could prolong the pandemic >> great point meg, thank you so much more than 1,000 families are still separated after being split up at the southern u.s. border in 2017 and 2018. the new plan from the biden administration that could involve paying them millions of dollars. but how would it work and who is eligible plus the most used vehicle in the military is also the one that has crashed the most. experts are pitching an upgraded safety system that they say could save lives

included and this is vat and distinction fromreunification effort under way by the biden administration this is a civil case a tort case being brought against the u.s. government for damages that these families endured as they were separated oftentimes for many months some still, 1,000 of those families, remain separated to this day around 300 have yet to be located, searching for them right now. and part of why all of this is so challenging and a developing situation. >> jacob, thanks military humvees are the most common military vehicle and according to a government report, they are involved in more accidents than any other tactical vehicle as a result advocates are pushing for new technology to protect service members inside here is our consumer correspondent vicky quinn. >> reporter: impact is jarring you are watching a crash

were killed, contributing to what congress called a trend of nonwar-related deaths in the military the report also found that nearly 25%of the accidents involved a rollover. military experts say the armor added to humvees make them prone to rollovers two years ago the arm contracted a supplier to research and test safety solutions for the humvee. and nbc news was invited to the crash test demonstration for a look at how additional safety measures could help service members survive. and i'm here in indiana and joining me now is the lead engineer here. we're stafrninding in front of s specially equipped humvee. what do you expect to see? >> we'll simulate a real world scenario and see how our technology will help a service member in a crash. >> reporter: and engineers install sensors and rig the humvee with 30 cameras to capture every angle inside and outside the vehicle. inside the humvee, both test dummies are belted
