From Belaine, Brazil, the gateway to the Amazon, we're at COP 30, the UN Climate Summit.

This is Democracy Now.

We've seen that with the presidency initiative we now have a text about phasing up fossil fuel to develop a roadmap.

It is very positive development, but we have to still be very careful because the level

of ambition is not sufficient. We can have something that is partial.

As delegates and leaders from more than 190 countries continue negotiations, and Brazilian

President Lula is here in Belang.

Pressure is mounting to include a roadmap to phase out oil, coal, and gas in the final climate

text. We'll get response from Colombia's former Environment Minister, Sassana Mohamed.

Jean Sue, co-author of a report, Data Crunch,

How the AI Boom Threatens to entrench Fossil Fuels and Compromise Climate Goals.

And Sudan's climate activist, Lena Yassin.

Whether Sudan, Senegal are doing well, what are the gaps, what are the challenges?

But indicators don't build our, don't rebuild our washed away villages.

They don't fix our failed harvest.

After months of stonewalling, Congress finally votes almost unanimously to force the Justice Department to release the files on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Many of his survivors were in the House gallery to watch, will play some of their voices.

It's an honor to stand here again for something America is finally united on.

The immediate release of the entire Epstein files.

In a divided nation, this is one demand we all share.

All that and more coming up.
