[applause] >> a climate deal is finally reached in paris. >> in paris will there is celebration of the historic deal. >> i'm maryam nemazee here in london. a rising death toll in burundi after unknown gunmen attacked military sites. a landmark moment for saudi

women as they become voters and candidates in local elections. >> in oxford science is preserving the cultural heritage of syria. >> we start with breaking news. a climate deal has finally been reached. this was the moment it was finally announced. >> the cop 21 summit erupted in cheers after the plans to fight global climate change was adapted. the deal comes after the hottest year in recorded history. and it was negotiated between 195 countries over four years. the key points to keep the

rising temperature. and pledges to take action on greenhouse gas emissions every five years. our environment editor nick clark joins us live now from paris. historic agreement, nick, we see images of very emotional images coming from the plenary hall. what has the atmosphere been like? >> it's astonishing. it's astonishing. people have been working so hard to try to make this happen for so many years. and the final two weeks this deal that people were hoping for, and anticipating, and really couldn't dream of it happening, but it has. it was astonishing. it was high drama when it did because people were fighting it until that final plenary session. we expected the deal to be signed and sealed and the gavel

to go down. and then suddenly there was a moment of doubt as to what was happening. there was a huddle on the stage and this issue about the wording of the sect. then there were officials saying that there were spelling errors and typos, and instead of the word shall there was the word shouldn't, and that was dealt with. and then the gavel went down, and this historic deal had taken place. here we are in a whole new world. let's bring in edward cameron, what is your sense of what happened there? that whole affair with the wording is extraordinary, isn't it? >> it was. but at the same time the

presidency explained it the result of tiredness. i can personally understand that having been here 15 days working 16 hours each day. that's not unusual that that happened. you can tell among the body language amongst the diplomats and ministers in that position that a deal had been made. if there really had been disputes they would have been pointing fingers not embracing. it was a mishap, it was not contentious, and it was resolved easily. >> are you thrilled with it? >> i'm thrilled with it. it has been the work of a lifetime for many in that room, and many would not have expected such an ambitious deal coming out of these past two weeks. people tabled their action plans in advance, 190 of those, which took some of the heat out of the negotiations in the outset. in addition we have a long-term goal that leads us towards decarbonation by the end of the

century. we have an agreement to come back and we have a level playing field. i think what we saw today was the thriving clean economy. >> there are a lot of people here who are saying that it's hollow. it's not strong enough. >> i would dispute that. i think the pre-visions that we see in the agreement provide an opportunity to road test this over the coupling few years. that's important to bear in mind. there is a lot of good will in that gru room. they need to see the cost of capital fall. they need to see access to technologies improve, and i think as that happens over the coming years, the confidence they'll have and their ability to transfer to a low carbon energy will enhance. >> how hard will it be to launch on to this and make sure that we

make progress? >> i'll be preparing for a whole lot of domestic regulations. china is going to translate this in their five year plan in march. if i was a business preparing for a new landscape that means work on efficiency, changing the procurement, i think we will see come monday morning a lot of people who will wake up and realize the regulatory environment has changed. the investment environment has changed and we have created a cleaner environment. >> i appreciate for forgetting your name. i put it down to lack of sleep. that seems to be the excuse of the moment. we have a deal. we'll see how it's taken up in the years to come. it's a very exciting movement. >> i'm sure you're not the only one suffering from a lack of

sleep. nick clark, our environment editor live in paris. let's speak with daniel in buenos aires. daniel, as we were hearing the historic agreement that was years in the making,hat does this mean for argentina, and more broadly latin america? >> they're well aware of the consequences of climate change. we have melting blares in the south of argentina. so these are people who want to see these policies implemented. at the same time there is a long tradition in this region of politicians saying one thing and then doing something very different. there are a lot of shaky economies here that rely on short-term fixes. that rely on exploitation of people's national resources,

these are countries trying to find their way in the short term bases and imminenting these long change policies are going to be a challenge. how to police them and policies in the report part of the brazil. >> what about the help in the negotiations in paris? >> well, they've been involved, as i mentioned. they suffered the consequences of climb changes. so they have been very involved. there has been innovative schemes as well put forward by countries like ecuador, which

was suggesting keeping its carbon fuels in the ground. there have been great policies out of poe live i can't. you've seen a while ago they held a climb changes conference which the french minister was present to take some of those views of indigenous people from around the area back to paris to be fed into the cop 21 conference. so latin american very much involved. although many of the countries do fall in the same situation as china in a way deciding whether they are developed countries or developing countries. some of the like brazil fall very much into both camps. so quite how these policies apply for them will often depend on how they define themselves as developed or developing countries. thank you very much. daniel live for news buenos aires.

joining how.

>> they will come back together in five years and agree to increase the level of ambition. it's a step by step process that will last until the end of the century. >> how crucial is that mcniche by which countries will continue to evaluate their climate commitments every five years. how important is that? >> into my view it's absolutely. >> how can we text to mobilize clean energy? that will be very important. >> absolutely. as one of the previous speakers mentioned it's going to change the regular landscape. so we need to first of all think about the end game. what we need is low carbon energy. it doesn't matter whether it comes from renewable sources,

nuclear sources or clean fossil fuels as long as the end product is clean carbon energy. how do we get to that now to the world that drives much less energy from fossil fuels and emits by 2050 near zero co2 and then we're taking co2 out of the atmosphere. >> it's been securities on the national level, and then taking it down to the level of the individual, what we specifically need to do to change our behavior. >> so i think there is a number of points that you just made. one of them different region also have different regions available to them. they will want to continue to export those at knows energy

sources and beyond the end of the century. it's important that they're enabled to use those resources in an environmentally benign way. for example, the coal producing nations, and those countries like the gcc states, they need to use their resources in different ways. places like denmark who have fantastic wind resource will ebbs exploit those resources. as far as what we can do individually, the single most important thing is energy efficiency. so this is something that we don't do enough of. we think about the deploying technologies, renewable technologies or clean fossil technologies to produce more. we need to think about consuming less and consuming in a more efficient way. >> thanthank you for shedding light on this, and what it means for us all. and nia ll macdowell from the

empire college london. why there is unrest in east yep ethiopia.

>> welcome back. you're watching al jazeera. let's update you on the top stories now. 195 countries have said yes to a landmark deal on climate change. the cop 21 agreement asked all

nations to limit their greenhouse gas emissions. last minute sticking point threatened to derail talks. but since the agreement, countries have taken to the floor to praise it. thetwoin switzerland two suspects were arrested, the arrest took place in geneva, which has been on a heightened alert level. the city's attorney general said that one of the suspects had a huge number of weapons. >> we received intelligence than a radicalized individual had a large number of weapons in her arm apartment.

>> burundi's army said that 87 have been killed in its capital. 150 armed men were attempting to steal weapons. some of the victims appear to have been shot at close range. >> what we understand, members of an unknown group attacked military, to step weapons. the army spokesman said that they successfully fought them off. they said that they killed 97 of them and captured 45. now separately from this, in

opposition to the third term in power to which they say members of a police unite that is known to be loyal to the president and presidential guard pulled people out of their houses and shot them in the streets. the army spokesman did not agree to comment on this. the government also trying to play everything down as much as they can. today they argued a march for peace with dozen of government supporters, and the government trying very much to give the impression that it is business as usual. but, u.s. key international players don't agree with that, and they keep expressing concern

about what they think is escalating violence that could soon be a return to civil war. >> a suicide-bomber in syria is reported to have killed 18 people. the car bomb in the opposition stronghold. the attack followed the implementation of the truce of the city. >> shia militia members demanding withdrawal from iraq. they have accused turkey of violating international law. so far turkey has refused.

>> thousands of members of iraq's militia came out. they're calling on the government to do more. one of iraq's most powerful shia clerics put the dispute on the battlefield. >> today turkey is at our doors. today we're watching these people who say they want to fight turkey. if they don't do their duty then we will take action after a while. >> iraq's governor has filed a compliant with the u.n. >> sending turkish armed forces without permission of the iraqi government is not considered a help against terrorism. it's blatant violation against iraq sovereignty. it is without our permission or

knowledge and anything said otherwise is future fabrication. >> since russi >> they have been here for years. there is an agreement between the peshmerga iraqi troops, turkey and u.s. to club mosul from isil. they did not parachute in. they came in at the request of the governor. >> turkey believes that it's presence is important in iraq for not only in its fight begi against isil, but for support of the troops that are there. >> we have not dispatched come

butte troops to fight. we sent reinforcements to protect our soldiers who are training iraqi fighters. >> the disagreement between ankara and baghdad is an extremely sensitive matter here in northern iraq. politicians and military officers have been told not to voice their opinions. others here will tell that you this war of wards is not helpful for kurdish fighters who are manning a front line against isil, that is more than 900 kilometers long. >> and grenade attack at a mosque in ethiopia has left several injured. charles stratford has more now from the ethiopian capital. >> it's not known exactly how many people have been killed

activists say this video shows police firing in a demonstration at an university more than 500 kilometers east of the capital. activists say that there are protests like this lapping almost every day. contributing to the country's booming economy, one of the fastest growing in the world, a government plan to, as it describes, enter integrate development across the wider region is facing growing opposition from many of the people who live here. no one we asked would speak on camera. but these farmers have been offered cash to give up their land to developers. the vast majority of the people

feel they have violated their rights. we contacted people in villages where we heard there were protests, and we recorded this conversation. >> the federal police are here. it is impossible to move. three people are dead. there are people who have been wounded. some of them have been hit in their legs. but there are others who have been imprisoned. >> the question is development is not only physical development. it is not only building. it's not only constructing houses. it should be some kind of human development. that area must be developed as well, and there should be

accommodation in which they must maintain their identity as well. >> government leaders say they're listening. >> they'll continue to take measures. they will do everything to bring to justice those responsible for any loss of life. >> voting is closed in an historic election in saudi arabia. it's the first time that women have been allowed to vote and can stand as candidates. 900 women and 6,000 men are running for election in local councils. councils are the country's only

locally elected bodies. the voting age has been lowered from 21 to 18. many young people welcome the changes. >> i'm really proud for this improvement in saudi. i hope any female gets elected today. this is a big opportunity for females. i think that they could really make a difference. >> isil has waged a campaign to destroy everything that it considers sacrilegious. but now many in london are seeing what they can help to restore. >> packing up everything they need to photograph important sites of cultural heritage. we can't show the low cost cameras they'll use because it might endanger the photographers. it's a race against time to send the cameras to syria. trying to keep one step ahead of

isil fighters and their destruction of ancient sites. including the 2,000-year-old temple in palmyra, which they destroyed in august looting the site for antiquities and valuables. >> we can come in this short order and put these structures back the way they were, and people can get on with their lives. when they walk down the street they see the familiar vistas and they go on with their lives as usual. that's the promise that these images hold. >> the photos are rendered in architectural drawings. if in the future they decide to rebuild the towers, and ancient structures, then a 3d printer takes over. row batting machines will be used with finish touches performed by local artisan stone cutters. >> this is 15-meter high, so it's not small.

it has a fair bit of surface details. we can go from a photograph to a structure in three months. it's a much shorter time than it would take to start from scratch with a solid block of stone and whittle away by hand. many represent structures represent east meets west. >> this is a representation of what nearest should become, an unified region where cultures are living together in a harmo harmonious faction. the fact that isis destroyed it represents disunity fracturing, if you will, and this sort of symbolic reputation of the problems we're seeing in syria. >> being around architecture in a rich cultural heritage becomes part of a person. when that's gone they lose a little bit of their identity. that's why this project is so important. because they're preserving

history, and an integral part of the region for the next generation. jessica baldwin, al jazeera. oxford. >> more on everything we're covering right here. the dress for that is www.aljazeera.com. do check it out. www.aljazeera.com. most popular books. >> i drop the kids off at school, the other kids saying "hey look! it's... it's... it's his dad! look! has he brought more chocolates?" and you've almost got a following. it's amazing. >> for years he's been tasting chocolate and lots of it, several pounds on sundays. >> i do eat a lot of chocolate. >> h
