It has been home to thousands of palestinian refugees. As Stefanie Dekker tells us it fell to fighters because of an unlikely alliance. Its a fight they are losing. They have been fighting i. S. I. L. Over the last few days and i. S. I. L. Controls most of it. In an unusual twist there are reports that i. S. I. L. Fighters are supported by the Al Qaedaaffiliated al nusra front. The two groups do not like each other. It appears that theyll Work Together to take control in yarmouk. There was an agreement under the table between al nusra front and i. S. I. L.

Came through it with no difficulties and that was an important reason they raided yarmouk and controlled it. Everyone is confused how the deal happened. Yarmouk has been besieged by Government Forces for more than two years. Around 18,000 people remain out of 160,000. Most are fully dependent on aid. Conditions are difficult. We have always said that yarmouk is a place with very very little hope. Its a pleas of abject desperation. Its a place where humanity is really struggling to survive, and the lethal military mix we see in the camp is creating a greater vacuum where theres so little hope and dignity. Many will tell you that yarmouk is one of the most places to be. That was before. No aid has gone in since the fighting begone. Its a worrying development. I. S. I. L. Less than 10km away.

To start air strikes on i. S. I. L. Target in the area. There are reports that the militia found ways to support their fight. Re reject slogans or banners. They are willing to undermine the victory we won. They are infiltrators against iraq and its social fabric we cant give them the chance. The people graffitiing the walls are no less affect than us. I. S. I. L. Is looting and this shows fighters at the world u. N. E. S. C. O. Site a 2,000yearold city the capital of the first kingdom. It withstood a roman invasion but may not make it through this one. This man helped to take a biblical manuscript from the province when i. S. I. L. Fighters were approaching.

Pope francis focussed on a service focussing on violence against christians announcing the International Communities implicit science on Christian Communities like this week said at the university of kenya, and he baptised 10 people welcoming new members into the fold as part of an easter tradition. Could Climate Change threaten a Nuclear Power plant 30 miles from downtown miami. All of this will go under water, and its closer than we lining. In a deeper look, why rising sea waters could turn this plant into the next fukushima. Around here, were all about fast. Thats why xfinity is perfect for me. With millions of wifi hotspots all over the place including one right here at the shop now we can stream all things fast and furious. Youve done it again, carlos with the fastest inhome wifi and millions of hotspots xfinity is perfect for people who love fast. Dont miss furious 7 in theaters april 3rd. From water to waste to recycling to sustainability. We take a deeper look at hour fragile fragile planet. Its part of al jazeeras ongoing series. There are many issues impacting the environment with 7 million sharing resources and affecting change. One place where its happening is antarctica. The ice shelf is melting. Signed science and Technology Correspondent jacob ward is telling us why its a concern. Western antarctica is facing dwindling ice shelf. The speed is shown by colour, red drains fast, blue slowly, green the slowest. Its not just the glaciers melting, and the places where they flow into the sea. They form ice shelves, floating extensions of the ice that hold back the glaciers. Signed scientists determine that the ice shells have been melting 70 faster in the last decade than before. In the places denoted in red, the speed into the ocean is increasing every year. Scientists say the smith glacier, one of the smallest is changing fastest, and its a good way of understanding why the scientists are worried. Not only is it melting, the bounding line, the place where they rock, well beneath the water is melting away and moving inland. Here is what the bounding line looks like in 1996. Check out what it looked like in 2011, five years later. It moved 35km or 21 miles inland. This is the source of greater alarm. If you peel away the ice layer and look at the topography, you see its relatively flat, theres no big mountain rangers to keep the ice flowing into the signed subglacial values is making it easier. This is true from the area, which holds enough water to raise the ocean by 5 feet, in 100 years, the smallest selves could be melted. These are conservative. Joining us is daniel kay many, a professor of energy at berkeley. Great to have you with us. So one of the major global challenges with a growing population is the question how do we keep up with a growing Energy Demand . Theres two paths that people are discussing. One is building more of what we have done in the past. Building more coalfired plants, soipd gas plants. We have to provide energy and address Climate Change. One of the most exciting areas is looking at the degree to which you can build out the infrastructure, not just in the big cities, but in the rural areas, where 1. 5 billion live without energy. Thats where new technologies bring solar energy, geothermal and bio power its all coming together to give a new opportunity, a new waive soipd of providing lots of energy, but Carbon Free Energy to people that didnt have access before. What is the challenge that Climate Change presented in terms of energy. Well, theres a range. What we are seeing is that Climate Change is directly affecting rural areas in terms soipd of changed rain fall patterns, fires, problems of water, peoples cattle. Seeing that even at the level of the smallest Rural Communities Climate Change is stressing the poor communities. Do we have the technology to neat 100 . 25 of demand moving forward . We have technology decreases in the cost of solar, the ability to use smart new technology, whether in the cell phone, to become the hub of mini grids, house by house, or village by village. The hardware is there. There hasnt been enough experiments or practical learning about how to do that. A few places are running ahead. Bangladesh nicaragua, and we see dramatics use of technologies, we are not keeping up with population growth or the changing needs of people in rural areas, rural slums that are looking at a range of products from cellphones to televisions. All that need energy. You bring up a point that all the Global Energy needs to be transformed over the coming decade. Do you see it happening. I think it will. Will it be the incumbent actors or a new range of players, smartfood. Com Companies Taking advantage. There are ways now that the intelligence in your cell phone can provide enough opportunity to people can do offgrid pay as you go. Taking home refrigerators, and pay for them with mobile phone payments or theres a utility model. No one knows what will win out. If we dont enable and build out the new opportunities, well have to full back on the fossil fuel technologies and it makes the problem worse. Stand by for a moment. According to the oceanic and Atmosphere Administration the two major courses of global sea warming is the loss of ice. Water expands. Its a major problem area florida. More than 1,000 miles of coast is at the mercy of rising sea. So is a major plant south of miami. Reporter turkey point, a big power source was built on the edge of biscayne bay, built in the 1970s when rising sea water was not o concern. It sits above sea level, but it is not reassuring to people like tan, who calls turkey point a disaster waiting to happen. It could be 50 years, or 100, its guaranteed the oceans will come up. They are in a tank with water, the same way it was at fukushima. After fukushima, the Regulatory Commission ordered the plant to re few the safety plant. A spokesman said turkey point is secure against current sea level conditions. It reviewed the flooding reevalues and terms it was free of safety issues. It is satisfied that turkey is implementing strategies to maintain function if a severe event such as blooding affects the system. Peter harlem a geologist showed me maps showing how rising seas will infiltrate south florida. Thats only six inches. That will happen in the next 2025 years. Reporter i look at this and it looks like the power plant is swamped. Its surrounded by water. By the end of the century, the government predicts sea levels could rise 6 by 5 feet. As they rise storm levels get bigger. Turkey point emerged unscathed. Florida power and light. The operator sites that on the website. Andrews peak surge missed the plant by 10 files. Miles. Theyll tell you that turkey point missed the brunt. It was never tested by the surge. If they are right and turkey point is safe. South florida will be tested by bigger questions as the water rises. How soon . Not this year not 30 years, 200 years i dont expect much of florida to be above the line. Its not going to be pretty. We are joined from chicago from the senior policy analyst with the National Resource defense counsel. Great to have you with us. When we look at the rising water levels how concerned are you that some of the areas, despite levies are at risk. Its concerning. If you look at florida, theres over 145 billion worth of property that will be basically having water lapping at its foundations with three feet of sea level. Thats a conservative estimate as the earlier segment on antarctic glaciers melted. We are seeing the ice caps melting more quickly than scientists understood. And a lot of sea level projections dont factor in ice melt that is that fast. Given that fact how would you assess the global or National Response . Nationally we made progress. The Obama Administration made steps that are important. They were updating flood protection standards using conservative estimates for standards at federally funded infrastructure projects. Recently f. E. M. A. Will be requiring states to comply with Disaster Mitigation and preparedness statues to examine future climate impacts. These are important steps forward to getting states to assess and determine what steps are necessary to mitigate natural disasters. Theres a lot that we need to do. Over the past 30 years weve down more to move people into vulnerable areas an
