Sudanese Researcher Lina Yassin on COP30 Climate Talks, UAE-Funded Proxy War in Sudan over Gold & More
Sudanese climate diplomacy researcher Lina Yassin is supporting the Least Developed Countries Group at the U.N. climate summit in Belém, Brazil. The group is composed of 44 countries, including Sudan, whose cumulative emissions amount to less than 1% of total global emissions. "They are the countries that have the least amount of resources to respond to the climate crisis," explains Yassin.

Yassin also discusses the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where the estimated death toll is now at 150,000. "This is a proxy war funded by foreign nationals who have vested interests in Sudan's resources. … The UAE has been using the RSF militia to illegally smuggle gold out to finance the war and finance their own gold reserves. The UAE is also really interested in Sudan's agricultural lands."

Susana Muhamad, Ex-Colombian Environment Minister, on COP30 Talks, Trump, Gaza & More
At the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, we sit down with Colombian environmentalist Susana Muhamad, who served as Colombia's minister of environment and sustainable development from 2022 to 2025. Muhamad discusses the U.N.'s mandate to mitigate the acceleration of human-caused climate change and condemns the powerful, diverting influence of the fossil fuel lobby. Muhamad, who is of Palestinian descent, also responds to the United States' attacks on boats in the Caribbean and to the ongoing Israeli genocide of Gaza. "These are not issues that are not correlated," she says. "Humanity can do better. [We] can be very proactive and productive in shifting this situation of climate crisis, rather than continue investing in arms, in armies and in defense."

Brazil's Contradictory Climate Policies: Lula Gov't Reduces Deforestation, Boosts Oil & Gas Production
As we broadcast from the United Nations climate summit in Belém, we look at Brazil's contradictory climate policies. The Lula government has reduced deforestation in the Amazon while also approving oil drilling near the Amazon. "Many parts of the Amazon are now reaching a tipping point, so a point of no return," says Ilan Zugman, Brazilian climate activist and 350.org's regional head for Latin America and the Caribbean. "Lula is still pushing for new oil and gas areas in the country, including in the Amazon."

Protect the Amazon, Tax the Polluters: Climate Activists Demand Action at COP30 in Belém, Brazilq
Democracy Now! is broadcasting from the U.N. climate summit in the Brazilian rainforest city of Belém, near the mouth of the Amazon River, where the COP30 summit has entered its second week of negotiations. The gathering comes 33 years after the Rio Earth Summit, which created the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. Countries are trying to find a way forward on addressing the climate crisis, even as global temperatures continue to rise and as the Trump administration boycotts the conference. COP30 is also the first since 2021 with a significant civil society presence, after three successive U.N. summits held in repressive countries that outlawed public protest.

"The beauty of the forest COP, the beauty of the people's COP in Brazil, is that civil society is very active, both inside and outside," says Leila Salazar-López, executive director of Amazon Watch.

We also speak with Viviana Santiago, executive director of Oxfam Brazil, who advises the Brazilian government on sustainable development. She stresses the importance of centering Indigenous peoples and the health of the Amazon in these talks. "People that are most affected for the climate crisis are the people that did nothing to [cause] this crisis," says Santiago.

Megan Varner/Getty ImagesDonald Trump told an all-woman town hall in Georgia on Wednesday that he's not "unhinged" as he doubled down, identifying the "enemy from within" as Nancy Pelosi and her husband who was nearly killed.

He aimed his fire at the former House Speaker, who nearly single-handedly snatched an easy election victory from Trump when she led the charge to oust President Joe Biden from the race, leaving Trump running dead even against a more formidable opponent.

"I wasn't unhinged. You know what they are?" he said, winding up to respond to Kamala Harris' assessment of him as "increasingly unstable and unhinged" for suggesting he would turn the U.S military against everyday American citizens. "They are a party of sound bites."

Pennsylvania Dems Allege Harris Is Screwing Up Her Campaign in Their State: Report
Kyle Mazza/Anadolu/GettyA score of Democratic Party officials and allies in Pennsylvania are alleging that Kamala Harris' operations in the all-important state are "poorly run" and weakening her chances there, according to Politico.

Twenty elected officials, party leaders, and affiliates spoke to the news outlet to express concern that the Democratic nominee's campaign may have "set them back."

Their complaints zeroed in on concerns that the campaign wasn't doing enough to attract voters in metro Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and in the state's Black, Latino, and Asian communities, where Democrats likely need to win large majorities to offset Republican-leaning rural counties.

Secretary Mayorkas Announces New Immigration Enforcement Priorities
Guidelines focus on national security, public safety, and border security; emphasize prosecutorial discretion 

WASHINGTON - Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced new Guidelines for the Enforcement of Civil Immigration Law to better focus the Department's resources on the apprehension and removal of noncitizens who are a threat to our national security, public safety, and border security and advance the interests of justice by ensuring a case-by-case assessment of whether an individual poses a threat.  In the last six months, Secretary Mayorkas held multiple engagements with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) workforce and leadership across the country, as well as with a range of stakeholders including law enforcement, civic, and community leaders to inform the new guidance.   

"For the first time, our guidelines will, in the pursuit of public safety, require an assessment of the individual and take into account the totality of the facts and circumstances," said Secretary Mayorkas.  "In exercising this discretion, we are guided by the  knowledge that there are individuals in our country who have been here for generations and contributed to our country's well-being, including those who have been on the frontline in the battle against COVID, lead congregations of faith, and teach our children. As we strive to provide them with a path to status, we will not work in conflict by spending resources seeking to remove those who do not pose a threat and, in fact, make our Nation stronger."  

Enforcement priorities for apprehension and removal remain focused on noncitizens who are a threat to our national security, public safety, and border security.  But the guidelines are a break from a categorical approach to enforcement.  They require an assessment of the individual and the totality of
