(환경) 코펜하겐 충돌
Coming to blows타격 강타 over saving the planet. A rough day in the streets while that global environmental summit goes off. Nightly News begins now. And now we switch to the big climate conference going on in Copenhagen as president Obama gets ready to join leaders there from around the world. Inside, things are a mess. There’s still no agreement on a plan of action or who will pay for it. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton arrives tomorrow, will try to help push through some kind of a deal. Outside the conference, our chief environmental affairs correspondent Anne Thompson was right in the middle of what was happening in the streets.
The frustrations of the last ten days explode on the streets of Copenhagen. Outside the Bella center where negotiators still haven’t reached the climate agreement, 25,000 protestors try to storm the hall to make an impact. Police in riot gear block their way and the situation is quickly out of control. As the crowd advances, the police use pepper spray, batons and seemingly표면상 desperate특단의 measures조치 to restrain제지하다 the crowd. Among the people dragged out, Matt Hammer from Canada. “What did the police do to you?” “I was pulled up by the ears. I was pushed in the face. I was shut to the ground.”
To regain control of the situation, police are using these vans to push the crowd away. And then in front of these vans is a line of officers on foot and they keep pushing the demonstrators back. Those that resist are detained. Inside the hall, more turbulence소란. Protestors disrupt분쇄하다 meetings.
The conference leader abruptly갑자기 resigns. And the gap of mistrust widens over how to reach an agreement. “We need to have a very adjust….a very adjust process.” On the key issues of emission’s cuts and money, there’s still no deal. But there is hope on stopping the destruction of tropical forest like the Amazon.
Today the US pledged $1 billion to halt the practice in developing countries. Now everyone waits to see what else president Obama can do when he arrives Friday. “The president doesn’t come to Copenhagen to announce failure. He comes to announce success.” The pressure is on and the whole world is watching. Anne Thompson, NBC News, Copenhagen.
