00:00We go to our news.

00:02Thousands of social movements, activists,

00:05Indianas peoples and Colombola associations

00:08are on the streets in Belang today

00:11for a solution to global climate change.

00:16Our correspondent Brian Muir has the details.

00:20I'm in the middle of a massive protest today

00:24on the streets of Belang.

00:25It's a counter-protest to COP30

00:29and it's divided into three blocks.

00:31It's been organized by the People's Summit.

00:33There's at least 100,000 people out on the streets today

00:36and the organizers have divided the group into three blocks.

00:42The first block is called Land and Territory.

00:45The objective of this block is to fight

00:47for more sovereignty over indigenous lands

00:51and to fight for more protection

00:53against the mining companies and loggers

00:57who are breaking in and invading the indigenous lands

01:00that have already been demarcated.

01:02The second group that's out here today

01:04is clamoring for fair cities.

01:08And what they mean,

01:09the housing movements that are out here,

01:11is that when environmental disasters hit,

01:15it's always the poorest people

01:17who are hurt the most by it.

01:18It's always the favela residents

01:20who are affected by the landslides,

01:23floods, and cyclones that are becoming more and more common

01:27in this age of rising global temperatures.

01:30The third block out here today

01:32is called Internationalism and Solidarity with the People.

01:36And this block is calling for a radical transformation

01:39of society inter-socialism,

01:43blaming capitalism with a climate crisis.

01:45So the march is ongoing.

01:49Estimates are already that over 100,000 people

01:52came out here today on the streets of Belang.
