[speaking foreign language] >> the cop 21 summit erupt ed in cheers after the global plan to tackle climate change was

adopted despite a last-minute sticking point or wording. the countries involved have agreed to cut greenhouse gases which france says this is the first global agreement. they have an ambitious goal of keeping the rising temperatures below two degrees celsius. the deal is balanced and legally binding. each nation's commitment will be reviewed every five years. u.s. secretary of state joh john kerry has praised the deal as well calling it a remarkable global commitment. >> this is a tremendous victory for all of our citizens not for any one country, but for everybody here who has worked so hard to bring us across the finish line, it's a victory are for all of the planet and future generations. we have set a course here. the world has come together

around an agreement that will impower us a smart, responsible and sustainable path. and extraordinarily, we are 196 delegations, 186 plans. that is a remarkable global commitment. we have reached an agreement that while everybody here understands there are things here and there that everybody doesn't like it will help the world prepare for the impacts of climate change that are already here and also for those we know are now headed our way inevitably. >> our environment editor nick clark is at the conference in paris, he has been following it all very closely for us and joins us live now. we are hearing world leaders continuing to praise the deal, but what are you hearing from delegates from participants there at the summit in paras as

news of the deal starts to sink in as they start to digest what has been announced here. >> reporter: things are just beginning to quiet down now just a little bit. but there is still a hum of excitement. 196 countries getting them all to agree on a way forward to battle climate change is an extraordinary thing. and it's taken many, many, many years and the disaster of copenhagen of 2009 hanging over the whole vent here. and nobody wanted that to happen again, but now we have it. we have this paris agreement. and most people are thrilled about it. of course there have been a lot of compromises, there are a lot of gaps but it's perceived to be a launching pad as a way forward to chart the battle against climate change. let's bring in a greenpeace supporter. sum up how you feel about in. >> there is not a moment for

triumph or despair. it's not triumph because of the 21 years of foot dragging, hundreds of thousands of lives lost out of climate impact. and many more lives climate impact around the corner: and in fact the big gap that we want to be 1 1/2 degrees but commitments takes to us 3 1/2 degrees. but it's also not a moment of despair, we have won the climate debate. the fossil fuel industry find themselves on the wrong side of history and the climate industry has momentum like never before. >> reporter: getting 1 1/2 in to the text that wasn't even in the picture picture three months ago? >> yeah, and we have to give credit to the small island states and the country that his presented their case to the most powerful nations as a case of survival. in fact the close an was one 1/2 -- 1.5 to stay alive. that message resonated and civil

society backed it up. but let's be very clear, that 1.5 is a very steep hill to climb and the latter, that we have in terms of commitments are so far short of what we need. we will be intensifying. we take a rest tomorrow on sunday but on monday we will intensify. people should not make the mistake that just because we have the words on the pape their things will change as fast as we need hem to. >> reporter: what do you think is the most glaring absence from this text? >> i think if you want to be blunt about it, we would not have had a deal here if it wasn't for the generosity and the trust that poor developing countries were willing to give to developed countries. especially on the personal finance. the financial side of the package is not as clear as developing countries would have liked it. but i hope that trust is

reciprocated in the coming months and years by rich countries. the other issue is loss and damage, yes, we have made progress in getting some language on las and damage in to the agreement. but it is far vaguer than we would like and far less deep than we would like. but we want to see poor countries like the philippines should not be having to carry the burden of the devastating loss and damage in human life that they are experiencing as a result of the mission that they didn't largely create. >> reporter: so where do you think we are at? if you think about how you feel before you came here and what you wanted to achieve before you got here? >> we feared it would be much worse but what we got was much less than what our karen and their children's future deserves. so i think it's worth taking some time to say, you know, we got 1.5 as you say, which nobody thought we would get. that gives us a launching pad to

use your words, to actually now move us in the direction of an energy evolution, for example, and i think you cannot talk about 1.5 without talking about full decarbon-ization by 2050. we will push for a world that is 100 percent powered within the next 35 years by renewable energy. and people that are investing at the moment in fossil fuels, the message so them is get your investments out. people who are thinking about investing in anything, they should be investing in the renewable edge i didn't, because energy of the future. >> reporter: good to talk to you. the delegation still present in this plenary at the moment. we are expecting press conferences from the principle players later and we'll give you a flavor of that as and when they happen. >> thank you, nick. nick clark our environment editor covering the cop 20 in

paris. now we go to washington, d.c. we hear it's been hailed as a landmark deal. but also some scepticism as we were hearing from nick's guest in paris there. about it being a launching pad. how will the u.s. be affected by this? >> reporter: we are hearing similar things here in the u.s. about the agreement from american scientists and u.s. activists. yes, it's great that there is this now more ambushing us target for not having temperatures rise more than two degrees, preferably 1.5 degrees. there is that hope that this will lead to more clean energy and e investments. but you get nowhere near 1.5 or less than two degrees in temperature. it's closer to 3.5 degrees. so there is -- basically what we are hearing is you can guy either why -- go either way. either it's a frame work to held

the united states government to account. it has to stick to the commitments it's making or you say the whole thing is just words. the key bits of this agreement aren't legally binding, no matter what they say. and that is how much each country will reduce their he missions by and who will spend the money to help developing countries mitigate that. i do need to correct one thing i said last hour. president obama did not tweet. it was one of his staffers. we'll hear from president obama about the climate change deal within about an hour and a half's time and we hope to bring that to you live. >> all right, what about the republicans? we know their longstanding position on this climb at change deniers are still very much there trying to make their voices heard. what sort of reaction can expect from this deal? >> reporter: that's the key. one of the reasons why those he key bits of the agreement aren't legally binding, was because the white house wanted to avoid bringing this to congress where

58% of republicans don't even believe or at least say they don't believe in man-made climate change. we heard from some reports at that one of the reasons why the announcement in paris was delayed an hour because a key bit of the text was being haggled over. there was a verb, they were using the word should instead of shall. they should suggesting a legally binding commitment and thus a treaty that would have to go to congress. shall is not legally binding so it doesn't have to go to congress. this is one of the reasons why there is this wiggle room in this treaty. the point is the fossil fuel industries has spent millions of dollars over several decades in congress to try to prevent any action on climate change, evening though we now know the companies like exxon knew 38 years ago about climate change well before most scientists did but they had that campaign, i was looking it up $588 million a loan giving to 163 representatives of congress between 2013 and 20 fin 2015 al.

if the toss you would fuel industries changes its position, perhaps congress will change its position as well and we'll see some change. >> thanks very much. live there for news washington, d.c. now let's go to daniel in buenes aires following the story. and all the twists and turns in paris. we know that latin america has been vulnerable to the effects of climate change. how critical is the paris deal for argentina and for the rest of the region there in the fight against climate change? >> reporter: well, i think marry an it's as chris cal here as it is anywhere else. we have seen drought in brazil, flooding in argentina and bolivia people of living with the affects of climate change the big danger here, the big challenge is that we have many fragile economies in the region where they feel obliged to in

the short-term at least invest in their fossil fuels, exploit their oil and gas reserveses, they often say they don't have to the time it wait for the results of long-term policy to his deal with climate change. they know they should. but the reality is argentina with very low reserves, brazil where the president is struggling to hold to to power, venezuela and ecuador are heavily reliable on their oil reserves will be the big challenge, em police mentations they are all delighted they are come back with the agreements in their hand to the very latin america capitols and implementation is the key and policing it. people are skeptical, cynical about their politicians who will very easily say one thing and then do something very different. it's often very difficult to adhere to some of the policies that are implemented that will be the big challenge in the years ahead.

>> all right. and daniel, what about the use of clean energy. this agreement is seen as crucial in the transition from fossil fuels to sources of energy like solar, wind power, geothermal power, what are we seeing in latin america in terms of the use of this energy and investment in it? >> reporter: we are seeing a fair amount. we have countries like paraguay which is almost wholely reliant on hydro energy from its damns. argentina has been investing more or less in pat going yeah, in the south of the country where there are very strong winds. there has been investment. one of the shining examples in the region i think is uruguay. small country with less tan 4 million innin inhabitant but n the last 15 years have implement aid policy which has allowed them to reduce or to use 95% renewable energy for their energy and electricity needs.

winds power, hydropower and solar because they had a coherent policy with all parties agreeing, private enterprise working with the state enterprise to invest in wind farms and the like. and that has been a shining example in the region. as to what can be done and it's an example to other countries as too what should be done. >> thanks very much. daniel live for us in buenes air is. more to come. for decades it's been a part of free speech. but all things change for this hong kong chinese newspaper as it a choirs a mainland chinese owner. we'll bring you the this story. the sport reaction to manchester city stoppage time winner to go back to the top of the english premier league.

streets. 79 of the dead were fighters who attacked the site. another 45 were captured. the months long violence is linked to the president winning a third term in as which many considered unconstitutional. the latest death is the worst outbreak of violence since a failed military coup in may. our reporter malcolm webb has recovered burundi extensively. filed in report from uganda. >> reporter: early friday morning members of an unnamed group attacked military bases, three military bases and their operative seemed to be to take weapon to his steal weapons. in a press conference this afternoon, the army spokesman said they successfully fought them off and said they killed 79 of them and captured 45. now separately to this what we have in residents in certain areas where there is lots of opposition to the president and

opposition to his third term in power to which he he was elected in an election in july. in these areas friday afternoon and friday night they say members of a police unit known to be loyal to the president and the presidential guard went in to people's houses, pulled people out of their houses and shot them in the streets. some of them had their [ inaudible ] fight together. others not. it was mostly young men that the people say were killed. the army spokesman didn't agree to comment on this in the press conference, that's what we were told and the government is also trying to playing everything down as much as it k today they organized what they called a march for peace with dozens of government supporters protected by soldiers and police marching through the streets. and the government is trying to very much give the impression that it's business as usual. but the u.n., the u.s., and other key international players don't agree with that, they don't see it the same way.

and they keep expressing concern about what they think is escalating violence that could soon be a return to civil war. joining me now in the studio is jonathan who is the founding publisher of africa briefing magazine, thank you so much for joining us on the news hour. we have a death toll now in burundi of 87 in the space of one day. this is according to the country's army. is this a grim turning point, a significant escalation in the violence in burundi? >> jerk it is an escalation. the latest number brings the total number of people who have been killed since april to 240. and the situation doesn't look like, you know, it's going to ebb any time soon. the generals of the president who are held bent on

overthrowing -- removing him from power. i am not sure that they will relent in their efforts to out of thousthim. >> so does that mean, the cycle of violence continue being. dead bodies showing up in the capital every day. you now have coordinated attacks being stage odd military sites. and death toll of 87, nearly 90 dead in the space of -- where is all this heading, is burundi going to see a return of ethnic violence? >> so far the battles are being fought along political lines. but it could -- some people -- some people could pick up ethnic activities. >> i was just going ask you from what we have heard from the politicians and military figures, do you hear rhetoric,

do you hear language that suggests that they are trying to exploit ethnic divisions for their own political end? >> so far not. >> so far not. >> nobody has tried to fan any ethnic rivalries yet. but they are going by the history of that country, the bah burundi, they fought a bloody 12 year civil war between the hutus and the toot sees. they controlled the army and the hutus were led by the current president. right? and they fate bloody 12-year ward which was along tribal lines and it led to elections, thus the president becoming president. but so far there is no ethnic fight. but it could rare its ugly head. >> how much support is to go

removing the president from power? >> i could safely say that there is lots of support against him because when a tempted to extend -- or he answered talked about the idea to extend his rule, there was a mass demonstrations against him. so the idea about that, going about that, i believe it must be a support -- sorry popular support against him. >> thanks very much, jonathan, founding publisher of african briefing magazine, good to get your thoughts on this story. >> you are welcome. voting is closed in historic election in saudi arabia. it's the first time women have been allowed to vote and stand as candidates. around 900 women and 6,000 men are running for elections to local councils, they are the only elected public bodies. the legal vote age has been lowered from 21 to 18.

many younger people welcome the changes. >> i am so proud of this improvement in saudi. and i really hope that any female gets elected today. this is riley big opportunity for females. and i think that they could really make a difference in saudi. >> they call us a developing country because we have oil only. so remove the oil, we are a third world country. everyone knows that, you know. and in a age issue, saudi arabia is only 84 years old. so we are a baby country. so these steps for me i think it's a huge steps. >> translator: we know that women make up half of society, but her role is not in such places her role is at home and administrator her house and bringing up a new general race, if we allow her to get out of her house and do such business, who will take care of my sons? now, a hand granada tack at a mosque in ethiopia has left at

universal, applicable to all, fair and really all-en campusing. it's fair and takes everybody on board. what's left now to actually move out of here and work. because there has to be real actions. [ inaudible ] but also to draft this agreement. but also insuring that we build the i think stewingses we do the -- institutions and do the work that is done. it was done and now we have a deal that lays the basis for each and every one of us to do. finance, capacity building, adaptation, those -- loss of damage issues have been agreed to. >> reporter: minister, give us an idea of what it was like in the negotiations and how hard it's been over last two weeks? and what -- how you feel about it? >> first of all, we are very excited that all of our wants, especially the alliance of small

island states, 45 island, really what our major wants were reflected on the agreement. so it's hard work, you know. we have been watching every day the new -- when the new text comes where the needs and requests are well reflected. if not we straightaway go to the presidency and talk through to them make sure that it is well reflected and give them the necessary answers to their questions, so we have been -- we have been 24 hours, we have been here making sure that our wants are well protects. >> reporter: hasn't hasn't been much sleeping going on hear? >> a lot. it, a lot of it. just on the issues here. the loss and damage mechanism is a great one. nobody ever thought that we could actually get close. [speaking at the same time] >> i remember we spent two

nights of no sleeping in warsaw. the warsaw mechanism it's now here to be funded and really the small islands would now have to really use this opportunity. >> it's work, great work. and the important issue is the 1.5 degrees, it's well reflected. if we had asked somebody that nobody thought it would be there. >> reporter: it's extraordinary where that came from. and it made it. how is that possible? >> everybody realized if you save the small islands, then you save the world. this sticks out for this cop in one way. >> but also there is a lot of impact that it has another small islands the world leaders certainly saw it. the longer you stay without dealing with this matter. there is lots of migration, lots of food insecurity that's happening. none of the leaders wanted to

see real impact more than what we have seen right now. in the african continent, we were drought, we have all those kind of disasters that you can find, so for us, this is these institutions and mechanisms as well as the program, every one of these will be a program. working. >> reporter: okay, now, listen as we look to the future, really focus on the ground renewables and the move way from passal fuels, that's a tough call for nations like yours. >> yeah, i think first of the all, people will remember not what we did today, but by what we will do tomorrow and the future. you are right we have to stop using fossil fuels, renewables should come immediately and for small islands like the maldives we can need the technology as

soon as possible. also we are doing a lot by ourselves, we wanted 30% of all our 196 islands to be renewable energy in the next three years and that's what we are doing. >> reporter: from the south african perspective. >> we have a challenge -- not a challenge it's a great opportunity for growing our integrated resource plan which we have in place. it's a plan about energy mix and 42% of that energy mix plan has to be renewables. energy hydro. winds and solar. we have already started. three through megawatts already connected to the grid. we are one of those countries actually already we can share some of the lesson that his we already implementing. technology cost goings lower. in the transport spec sector we are doing a lot of work on
