they were brought in to add to which isember ipcc, rather toothless. they are just coming in and weighing police complaints from within the police mechanisms, right? but they could not do their own investigation. they could not subpoena witnesses. they could not subpoena police evidence. what we're hearing now -- these are the five individuals right here -- we are hearing they have opted to stand aside. they are stepping aside because theircc did not heed recommendations that they need to be able to investigate these claims. they are impartial. they don't have a sign on this. they don't have skin in the game, but they cannot do their job adequately, they said. >> what happens now? hashave said carrie lam insisted they allow the ipcc to deliver the findings, but now it looks like those could be discredited. >> it is up to carrie lam now. how is she going to spin this to the public when she said all along that we have independent counselors that are going to add that objectivity? now they do not necessarily. we did get a statement from the ipcc saying th

the approximate 67% chance budget is the one with the highest odds given by the ipcc. and now we have less than 340 gigatons of c02 left to omit in that budget to share fairly. why is it so important to stay below 1.5 degrees? because even 1 degrees, people are dying from the climate crisis. that is what the united science calls for two avoid destabilising the climate so we have the best possible chance to avoid setting off irreversible chain reactions, such as melting glaziers, thawing arctic permafrost. every fraction of a degree matters. so, there it is again. this is my message. this is what i want you to focus on. so, please, tell me, how do you react to these numbers without feeling at least some level of panic? how do you respond to the fa ct of panic? how do you respond to the fact that basically nothing is being done about this without feeling the slightest bit of anger? and how do you communicate this without sounding alarmist? i would really like to know. since the paris agreement, global banks have invested 1.9 trillion us dollars in fossil fuels. invested

what the ipcc report said was, we will have used up our carbon budget to stay below 1.5 degrees, even with a 67% chance, within eight to ten years. actually, emissions are still going up very much more quickly than anticipated, rather than even slowing down or flattening out. we should be seeing a deep and rapid emissions reduction and it should be led, of course, by the developed nations. what we have is some good examples. i would not say there are any excellent examples, but the european union on thursday announced an agreement to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050, which is the british government's position. however, even reducing... for the developed world to reduce net emissions to zero by 2050 is not going to be nearly enough. what we have to recognise in the developed world is that we can afford to make the transition much more quickly than other countries can. but to be realistic, knowing what the united states position is, donald trump has made his position very clear, we could not have reached a good agreement at this meeting in madrid, we could not do it, because when th

leaders make a global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions so they stay in line with the united nations ipcc report that came out last october. so one of the ways that we are going to really hold our world leaders accountable is the united nations petition that i'm a part of. that petition was filed to the committee on the rights of the child stating that five countries, argentina, germany, turkey, and brazil are violating our rights by their inaction on the climate crisis. and so on november 20th, our petition was accepted by the united nations committee on the rights of the child. and so those five respondent countries have two months to respond on the admissibility of our case and six months to respond to the merits of our case. and so then we hope the committee agrees our human rights are being violated and rules in our favor. so that is just one way that you see youth are really stepping up and taking new ways of action. >> so how optimistic are you about the future of our world? >> i am optimistic about the future just because of the youth climate movement. and the youth climate moveme

has far as the investigation into the police, the well-established mechanism is to use the ipcc to look into those allegations and complaints. at this time, they have chosen or taken the initiative's to conduct a thematic fact-finding study into the more significant incidents that have caused a lot of public concern. , it has already worked. the best way is to complete its finding and for society to examine the findings and have a good discussion on the outcome of the report. >> [speaking foreign-language] david: ok, just to recap some of those lines. she is taking questions. carrie lam says she will soon announce relief measures. we will bring you anything new out of the news briefing. at first wordok news with su keenan. with the new ecb chief christine lagarde. she has said that policymakers will be resolute in restoring euros in price stability under her watch. she also stressed to that an upcoming review strategy will be wide-ranging and will include the effects of climate change, as well as low-inflation. she will share her first ecb policy meeting on thursday next week. weakro ar
