The message from the un experts today is clear we all need to eat less meat to help fight Climate Change. The uns climate panel, the ipcc, have released the most comprehensive report on land use and Climate Change ever compiled, and it makes for sober reading. It says one quarter of global emissions are because of the food we eat, more than half of that is from animals. The report was released in geneva. Roger harrabin sent this report from there. This alpine landscape was covered by forest, the trees sucked Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and regulated the climate. Then humans cleared some of the land for food, but cattle birthed methane and that strongly heeds the atmosphere. The sort of low intensity grazing may produce protein from poor soil and it does have some environmental benefits. But it still creates more Greenhouse Gases than growing plant protein. Scientist meeting here in the alps are not saying we have all got to go vegan to protect the claimant, they are saying that we do need vegan to protect the climate, they are saying that we do need to cut down on red meat and dairy produce and shift on towards eating more vegetables. Roger was talking about one small european country there, but in brazil in 2108 they were losing around 8,000 square km of rainforest every year, much of it clearing land for cattle grazing. And the rate of deforestation has surged under berazils new leader, jair bolsonaro, earning him the nickname captain chainsaw. But the problem isnt just in brazil. The wildfires that hit siberia in the past week burned aroughly 2. 5 million hectares of forest, and the russian government say the fires were started deliberately by illegal loggers. The forests of borneo have been reduced by around half, because of logging and clearing land to produce palm oil. Todays un report also talks about the soil, which is the second Largest Store of carbon after the oceans. Heres what happens when trees and plants are removed. Land is a good sink for Carbon Dioxide, the extract conducts of the atmosphere and some stored in the soil. So it is a sink full for Carbon Dioxide. And as a change some of the systems to changing the visitation and deforestation for example, we disrupt that cycle and remove a lot of that vegetation that should go back into the in the carbon should be stored, so we can do now and the carbon should be stored, so we can do now is try to stop destroying some of those habitats through deforestation where we know there is a lot of carbon stored in the soils and a lot of lands that we should actually start to preserve and restore. There are lots of things can do across the sector also, people are also innovating and livestock farming and in the cropping systems to actually make things more sustainable. And there is even more that can be done, as this expert explains. Avoided degradation of our carbon rich ecosystems such as the wetlands, because all of those are contributing to ten to 15 of our Greenhouse Gas emissions. If he stopped doing that, we save some omission. Then there is the second group of actions that are managed and improved management, management of our problems, management of my forests our forests. Of our problems, management of my forests ourforests. And improving our ecology and all of those measures will limit the emissions and carbon in the soil. He bbcs sima kotecha has been to meet one family who has taken on a meat free diet. So we buy our fruits from an organic Fruit Company which delivers every week. Collecting our vegetables. Helens been a vegetarian for most of her life, for herfamily, fighting Climate Change is a daily priority. We drive a few miles to get our vegetables and rather than eating food thats come from china or america. 0ur cost of travelling is less. I also think that it is important to build local food production. Is this something that people should really be worried about . Because there are people out there who generally believe that there are more important things in the world than Climate Change. I cannot think of anything more important. We are talking about in the near future, potentially not being able to produce enough food for the planet. Her son, a music enthusiast, says hes doing his bit to help the world. I think if Climate Change did not exist, i would eat more meat probably. But. Yeah, probably. So youre not going to give up sausages altogether . Umm. Youre thinking about it . Maybe.

Us immigration officials have arrested 680 people in a series of raids. They took place here in the state of mississippi. The raids were highly co ordinated and targeted workers at seven Food Processing plants. The sites belonged to several different owners. Heres how it played out. Around 600 immigration officers arrived in buses, and surrounded the plants. They were looking for people who didnt have proper documentation. Then they started questioning and detaining workers. You can see some of them here being led away and taken to processing facilities. Many children came home from school to find their parents were not there. Heres one of them shes a little hard to understand but the emotion is clear. My my dad did nothing . Hes not a criminal . Please let him free some of the children were taken to a local gym for the night. Us immigration says they could be looked after by some of their relatives, or they might need to be placed with other families. Not surprisingly, this has upset many people. Heres a tweet from the mayor of jackson, mississippis capital. Do not make our communities safer. They criminalize our neighbors decrease Community Trust for law enforcement. Ice certainly doesnt see it that way. This is from its official twitter page. Investigators help combat worker exploitation, illegal wages, child labor and other illegal practices. This follows President Trumps announcement of an immigration crackdown back in june. He vowed to deport millions of illegal aliens. 0ur washington correspondent chris bucklerjoins me now. Good to have you with us on outside source. With this particular crackdown, i am curious come as it split the country like summary of the stories of when it comes to President Trump . As you know, immigration is one of those very hot issues in the United States. In donald trump has made it even harder with his constant claims that immigration needs to be tackled, illegal immigration is something he is concerned about. He was to change the system by which people come into the system by which people come into the country. And certainly, he is seen the country. And certainly, he is seen by many, particularly from the democrats as something of the leader of this organisation. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents were involved in this. They say that it was not directed by the president , this is been a long investigation thatis this is been a long investigation that is taken them Something Like 11 months to carry out and as far as theyre concerned, theyre looking to see people who have the right to be in the us and who is employing people illegally. You can imagine the reaction from those who have seen the reaction from those who have seen those pictures and heard those clips from children who came home from school and simply found that their parents were not there. As you can imagine, many people are concerned, that is deeply upsetting and again raised questions about ice which has become an organisation thatis which has become an organisation that is the centre of a political battle. Many republicans fuelled the work they do is vital, some democrats are calling for it to be abolished. These raids have taken place against the backdrop of two mass shootings. Nine people were killed in dayton, 0hio, while 22 were shot dead in el paso, texas. President trump visited el paso on wednesday, but his presence wasnt entirely welcome. Some protesters link the president s tough rhetoric on immigration with what happened. The suspect is thought to be the author of a text posted online which said this attack is a response to the hispanic invasion of texas. Some contenders to be the democratic president ial candidate next year are also making that point. Heres beto 0rourke. We live in a country where we have a president who demonises communities like this one, who vilifies immigrants, who says that those from mexico are rapists and criminals and warns of invasions and infestations. And so no matter how special we are, we cannot separate ourselves from the rest of this country and at one point or another, and for us it was on saturday, that violence and that intolerance and that inaction in the face of violence and intolerance will find us and it did. Beto 0rourke went even further. When he was asked if he thought donald trump was a white supremacist, he replied. He is. Hes also made that very clear. Hes not the only candidate saying that now. This woman is too. Elizabeth warren is another one of the leading contenders for the democratic nomination. She also answered yes when asked if she thought the president was a white supremacist. President trump is accusing the democrats of playing the race card. He tweeted. Lets go back to chris. High tension and passion to time that america has had and im just wondering, may be our viewers as well about the timing of these raids when we also look at the shootings and other focus particularly on when we also look at the shootings and otherfocus particularly on el paso but immigration. It is important to remember that in el paso, members of the Hispanic Community were targeted by this gunman and it was members of the Hispanic Community who were targeted in these rentals are very Different Things but democrats are certainly making that point in the point is that the rates are carried out as President Trump was making his way to el paso in texas to meet the victims of the shooting and indeed some of their families. And victims of the shooting and indeed some of theirfamilies. And it is that has led to some contenders to say as far as theyre concerned, the timing wasjust say as far as theyre concerned, the timing was just appalling say as far as theyre concerned, the timing wasjust appalling in say as far as theyre concerned, the timing was just appalling in fact, some have gone so timing was just appalling in fact, some have gone so far to say that it was cruel and evil. For example, many give the idea that no matter what happens in the months ahead, theseissues what happens in the months ahead, these issues of race and immigration are not are going to be incredibly important in the next president ial election and people are going to be watching each others words very carefully a nd watching each others words very carefully and that is particularly true when it comes to President Trump. And you think still with his base for example, these rates that we have seen taking place, will that play to his campaign, his Reelection Campaign that he has undertaken at the moment for 2020 . With a go down well . What is important to remember is that as much as there are people who were saying that people should not be targeted in rates like this, there are others who feel very strongly that immigration has gotten out of control. They have seen the pressure at the border and there is no doubt that a surge of people coming from Central America and there are some of the electorate, particularly President Trump supporters who feel very strongly that something should be done to tackle that. It is one of the issues that he campaigned about to win the presidency in 2016 and the key point is, he won the presidency in 2016 with that kind of rhetoric. And therefore, there is that if he does not change those words in america just becomes more divided as democrats continue to say as far as they are concerned, he is being a racist and he says as far as he is concerned is that hes standing up for ordinary americans who want their jobs, for ordinary americans who want theirjobs, want their for ordinary americans who want their jobs, want their economy for ordinary americans who want theirjobs, want their economy and wa nt theirjobs, want their economy and want their count
