Its now 2300. 00 gm to you and leaders from 8 south american nations have gathered in brazil to discuss ways to protect the future of the amazon rain forest host president , luis in law seo, loved the silver watts fellows, south american leaders to chart and a vicious roadmap to save the worlds biggest rain forest, those gathered hope to find Common Ground on deforestation. Climate change, illegal mining and cattle farming. As i might as one of them believe that nobody ever that or many um as it was uh, the amazons of bolivia, brazil columbia, who according to the name you guy on her, is there a non main and venezuela gold represents it here in this main thing as a whole lot for these amazon is a 100 so many other than the amazon of the forest insisted that they um, as of workers, women and young people before the amazon of indigenous, painful and traditional communities among the m as and of culture science. And on sexual knowledge, we separated, lets say meeting is in the brazilian city f l, a known as the gateway to the amazon. So what is the Amazon Treaty Cooperation Organization thats hosting the summit . Only amazon spans 9 countries. 8 of them signed a Cooperation Agreement in 1978 on issues affecting the rain forest. Here are the countries that share the amazon. They include bolivia, brazil, columbia export or yadda peru, certain um and venezuela. They say the goal of the summit is to find solutions, protect the forest, and its people, their Biggest Challenges are reducing deforestation promoting Sustainable Development and forming an amazon in parliament. Alda 0 is latin america editor lucy, a newman reports from the summit in berlin, brazil. The house president , louisa announced who loved the scene that is billing this summit as the 1st time that the amazonian countries can speak to the world rather than being dictated to by the international community. He had hoped to get a commitment from his peers to agree to 0 deforestation in their im a zone in regions by the year, 2013. And he was not able to get that except from columbia, which has already committed to that, as well as legislative by himself. But there has been agreements on other important issues, such as setting up a Common Police force to try to control the criminal games that are crossing the border is continually in this very, very porous amazonian region trafficking in gold, in emeralds and other things that are contaminating the rivers and also raising the crime level amongst the indigenous populations of that part of the amazon. He is also calling for an, a more stringent cooperation in science and in technology. But there havent been a specific dates or deadlines placed on a lot of this. I havent been hearing now that Foreign Ministers of all the countries will be meeting within 2 months to try to come to some agreement on that. And also to discuss some of the proposals that werent on the agenda originally, such as ending the production and extraction of oil in the amazon new region c and human outages. Here ive been in brazil now as lucy, it just said columbias left his liter. Gustavo petro was the only one to back host president little at the Silver School of 0 deforestation by 2030. Petra was to go even further a c. Okay. Okay. Yeah, i need to get a sophie cnc. Yeah, that is what i believe that it is not even enough to reach 0 deforestation any more. Science says that if we humanize the whole world, we would not be able to absolve the coupling image at each year. The solution is to leave coal, oil and gas, something, but that is the need of the not to leave the fossil capital. All i need is to protect this point. At least i and the president of columbia says its time to try something new and the fight against illegal miners, and loggers who cut down trees. Ouch is arrows. Teresa bow reports now from the Southern Region of javier governor alexandro, bundle sundays is on the front, blank of the columbia and fight against deforestation. Hes in charge of operations in the region in the amazon rain Forest Center says hes working with prosecutors and specialize officers to come by environmental crimes with the whole windshield on visiting the thing that we are looking at money laundry is so we can confiscate the prophecy. And that you repay the damage they are doing to the amazon know, we know hes, you know, also controls all the world that lives the areas as well as rescuing in danger. Spacious, with me. After the government signed a piece agreement with the left wing rebel group, the fark in 2016 millions of hectors, of land in this area were destroyed and twisting force were replaced with capital and graft to feed them. The government now is trying a different approach and rather than prosecuting small farmers, theyre going after adults will finance deforestation. Columbia managed to reduce deforestation by 30 percent in the past year. Environment administer sustainable, how much go down to 0, that combating the legal logging industry and working with local communities. Our priority is fine for colombia. First left, we precedent gustavo k through, we are not going to legalize land, a dot a has being the florida state. It a so that its price increases and this is that clear message that we have sent out. The other side is the best ones that communities that have more, a closure of increasing that we go through the frontier. But they are really a low income, not very productive policing local communities at the forefront of the fight against land grabs is also part of the plan or metro. This is a community leader, has been working with local and deals to reforest areas close to a National Park cables. The government has good intentions, but there are lots of people who wants it to fail who are part of the business. And theyre in congress because they make the laws, but the inside of the ones who do not expect from the government has also the task of protecting people activity is as columbia is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for environmental activities. 100 have been killed in the last decade. Columbia for is have also been a victim of the war and the violence that plague this countrys history. Many hope this time, the political when will be enough to revert the damage that has already been done. Very so well see that we had in columbia now in the bolivian amazon. In ginger, this women are drawing on ancestral knowledge to how does the Healing Properties of various plants Indigenous Leaders say . These traditions represent an invaluable source of scientific data. Manual wrap, hello reports. Now from real bronco in central bolivia that this knowledge is at risk of being lost forever. A group of women walking through the forest in central bolivia. Theyre looking for a tree called co pipe. Though around here, good bible is better known as the miracle tree, given its many medicinal properties. When i say typical file, a complaint about oil is medicinal and good, a treating dramatic pain, the stomach ulcers and for regulating Blood Pressure in this part of the country, many hours away from the nearest hospital cool bible oil is an important natural medicine. And a main ingredient in many local products, but the for its work of bible grow spaces, many threats such as illegal logging and the clearing of rain for us to make room for agriculture. Something like they said, we had another kid with a little that it so its very sad for us to see areas without a single tree left places that have become like deserts. And then theres climate change. In 2019 alone wildfires in bolivia destroyed more than 4200000 acres of forest for indigenous communities of the bolivian amazon depletion of the forest not only represents a potential loss to their livelihood, but to in valuable knowledge of Medicinal Plants thats been passed down from generation to generation, the amazon is home to tens of thousands of classified plants species, making it one of the most bio diverse places on our planet. And a great source for natural remedies. Environmental engineers like thomas co, saucy, see that without urgent action, the secret some additional plants found in the forest could be lost forever. Well say that, that at the end, the more to the left lens, i mean, we are losing many of them. Additional plants, which is why were promoting seed collecting and reforestation. So itd be come into in these traditions because this is a culture that has been practiced since long ago. And it would be a shame to lose it by partnering with academic institutions and non profit groups, these women have found a market for a co bible oil in modern medicine. And their harvesting techniques, or even seen by many as a model for sustainable entrepreneurship within the amazon. Their future success, however, will ultimately depend on the guaranteed conservation of the forest itself. Monday, visit up a little al jazeera, to be an amazon and in the United States president job, ivan has designated a new National Monument to protect the land around the grand canyon from uranium mining. Around a dozen indigenous tribes called for the protection of around 4000 square kilometers in the grand canyon National Park. Opponents say it will encroach on private land and could fax local cattle ranching. But the local tribes consider this land sacred, and they say it will provide refuge to a diverse range of wildlife can help right the wrongs of the plastic concert, this land of manchester or footprints for all future generations. Over the years, hundreds of millions of people and travel with grand canyon on all advice, mad majesty. But fewer or wherever, as full history. From time immemorial, or the dozen tribal nations have lived, gathered, preyed on these lands. But some 100 years ago they were forced out every act to preserve the grand candidate as a National Park was used as an i did just people full access to their homelands. Well, earlier alger 0 is rob reynold spoke to one of the tribal leaders in the grand canyon National Park in arizona. And this land is now going to be preserved for all future generations. Well, id like to talk to a person now who, whose people have lived on this land for thousands of generations. Carlotta to lucy, a tribal elder of the how the supply people and one of the members of the grand canyon tribal coal. Listen, thanks for speaking to us on your incest roland. You had a chance to talk to present biden today. How big of an event is this for you and for your people . One for the other tribes in this area. This monument approval signed by the president is a very important event thats going to go into history into the future. And its going to protect the lands forever. The tribal leaders wanted to make sure that their secret lands called the grand canyon be protected. These are areas of origin stories of each and every member of the tribes they, we believe that we were created out of the grand canyon and the question of pollution, particularly uranium mining. That was a direct threat. He believed. Yeah. See, right. Theres a over 800 uranium claims, as we speak in the monument area. And those uranium claim sit above the largest aqua for called the red wall, milwaukee aka for groundwater ground water, which seats into my village and creates waterfalls. And i grew up swimming and drinking that water, so youre afraid that the uranium will leach into the clock or 1st. Yes, absolutely, and were not willing to take that risk. And i hope the actions that happened today will open the door for other tribes and other Indigenous People to preserve their with their secret lands. So right, were going to stay in the United States switching topics a hearing for the case against donald trump. All the accusations he tried to overturn the 2020 president ial election. We held them friday. Lawyers want to want the judge to limit what the former president and his team can share during trial. But trumps legal team argues this request for prosecutors violates his rights under the us constitution. Oh she have her tennessee is live for us in washington dc with more and she have lets talk about this a little bit. Its really getting hard to keep track of all of the former president s Court Appearances. What is this latest Court Appearance this hearing going to be all about . So this is before the actual trial can begin in this particular case, which deals with the, the allegations that donald trump tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election. We go through vice pre trial print trial um procedures including a dis, whats called a discovery phase. Thats when both sides reveal the evidence of age have to bolster the cases. Now what the special counsel is saying, the prosecution is given. Donald trumps, his, his willingness to, to post on social media, what theyre worried about is once they hand over all the evidence that they have a game. So well jump, hell start bringing costs to get effectively on social media and on other platforms. And this can include very sensitive information, grand jury testimony, identifying information about witnesses and say, what the special counsel was all getting was looked one. This will potentially then try the case even before it gets into, into the court room. And the court of Public Opinion too. It may have a Chilling Effect on witnesses and whether they will actually come forward for the trial. As you said, bird Donald Trumps defense team says their weight. Donald trump has to be able to talk about the case again, statements as well as the amendment constitutional right to talk about the case. Sure. If its really sensitive material that can be restrictions on that. But we need to be really careful about about not both impinging on donald trump ability to is a freedom of speech. So what well have on friday then will be the judge hearing by the arguments and then, and then eventually making some sort of decision were hearing from legal experts. Perhaps theyll be some, some middle ground found that we dont know yet. So potentially there could be a gag order then is that, is that what youre saying . A trying to kind of understand here. And also, is there anything significant about the timing of all of this . And i think that was what be especially the, the, the defense of donald trump was always the dressing is this is effectively a gag order on the whole job, even speaking about the tro before it even begins. And that stuffs just not fair. And thats not him, you know, thats not part of the constitutionally protected freedom of speech that he has. So, but, so, i mean, i think theres a sense, the value of these, the limits on the amount of evidence you can share and public relatively routinely. So i think that might be something middle ground which, which can be filed. I think what was interesting about the timing of this on friday. I mean, it all if, if the judge hopkins readings are going to be being, being looked at very carefully to see what shes kind of made off. She has said, look, i want a hearing by the end of this week. She said she should given set several days this week. The special counsels. Im sure we can do it, but trump team is that no, not. We want to do it next week. Maybe monday or tuesday sheets as much as you to help from to an extent that she said friday. But i could also be seen as a middle ground between, between the 2 sides. But thats being seen is that shes not just, she made me realize we talked about on what we were expecting to be a trump upside, a trump strategy for the delay as much as possible each each year. And each question that comes up even before the trial begins. All right, so you have her, it has a reporting live for us from washington. Thank you. All right, its time for a short break, but still ahead on al jazeera. Im 200 shoulder and tell me the last shot, the drum se and bangladesh. Ill bring them over.

Im pretty well, im still in this part of south america. Now attempted to have come down in essence here, and because the code has come, no switch, but the past isnt outstanding. Lima is a bit woven.

A new global study says air pollution may be contributing to the rising front of antibiotic resistance. The stuff was published in the Lancet Planetary Health researchers there found a correlation between high levels of p. M. 2. 5 particular pollution which are tiny particles and resistance to some drugs. Dr. Albert re so is the chief medical officer for the American Lung association. And he says, the cause of the problem is the over use of antibiotics. A lot of assumptions being made, but the article had a large database that looks like theres a correlation. We just have to figure out if theres a causative fact, but definitely the more clinical pollution or is the the more harm to our health. So its certainly reducing part of the pollution will help in many ways. The main thing is we have to be careful about not over prescribes antibiotics. The reason that bacteria to resistant they keep saying the same antibiotics used that arent necessarily needed in certain instances. So what we need to do is continue to be vigilant about proper antibiotic use or stewardship, at the same time, decrease a particle pollution in our environment, too big, big goals its, its a difficult life for physicians and Nurse Practitioners to tell. But they have, remember that many times, viruses are not going to get better with antibiotics, and patients really want to have Something Like given to them when theyre not feeling well. But physicians have to make a good judgment about is just a bacteria infection for antibiotics can be useful or is this a virus that will pass in a few days, but its really no intervention thats important for also has a lot of antibiotic use in other animals animals chickens cause more antibiotic use and those other animals lead to more resistance in the materials that we may ultimately be exposed to in other ways
