it can do great things. >> reporter: earlier there was a moment of high drama assist suddenly the text flew up a difficulty. apparently it was typing areas only as a lack of sleep. >> as a result of the finalisation of documents in haste by colleagues who had not slept for days, a number of errors regrettably were not detected in the document l9 as it was being finalised in the early hours of this morning. the secretariat regrets the errors and i apologise for the over sight. >> in the end we all compromised, developing and developed countries compromised thachlt is what a negotiation is about. otherwise you wouldn't have had a negotiation. we come out all allows winners. >> reporter: there was praise too from president obama

>> this agreement sends a powerful signal that the world is firmly committed to a low carbon future. that has the potential to inleash investment and innovation in clean energy on a skill we have never seen before. >> this agreement is a very good agreement. it's strong in the ambition to hold down growth, stronger than we anticipated. we thought it would just be about 2 degrees increase, holding to 2 degrees increase, but they've put on the table to get is as close as they can to 1.5. video civil action continued in the day. it has two weeks to get to this point, not to say the months and years of pain and frustration since copenhagen since 2009. very soon it will all be about putting the paris agreement into

practice not everybody is happy with the deal. some environmentalists are not happy toll. the goal of the paris agreement is to limit global worming to 2 degrees celsius. they could only hold warming to around 2.7 degrees. poorer countries have pushed for a legally binding deal forcing for the rich countries to provide 100 billion dollars a year to help them cope. that isn't a legally binding contribution. countries can choose to pay whatever they want. there is accountability, how to make sure countries will stick to their pledges. they will have to report every five years but it is not legal by binding. countries will say they will make cuts but not follow through. china, of course, is the world's biggest emitter of co2 and says

the climate deal is a step to a brighter future. adrian brown. >> reporter: chinese leaders are basking in the joy of being involved in the agreement. we will know exactly what china is going to do when it releases its next five-year plan next year. expect a tlinking coal and steel industry. these have been the drivers of china's economy. i have been in the south-west of china to a steel town where the mill closed last year. 13,000 jobs were lost. china has given a commitment that it will ensure that its greenhouse gas emissions peak by

2030. that is significant because china, of course, is the biggest emitter of those gasses. it also says that it hopes that at least 20% of all of its energy needs come from renewables also by 2030. china is in a unique position, not only is it a heavy polluter but it is also possibly spending more money on efforts to combat pollution than any other country india is the fourth largest carbon emitter. libby what does this deal mean for india? >> reporter: in india it's a big issue, climate change. on the one handwrittened india has an exceptionally vast coastline and also a very large mountainous range. it faces the varied impacts of climate change. what they are happy about is the agreement differentiates responsibility in terms of

emissions and funding for developing countries. india's position going into these talks was simple, that developing countries shouldn't be held to the same standard as developed countries because not just in economic and development terms but also in terms of the fact that developing countries like india aren't the key causes of current global warming and the changes in climate that we're seeing. so that's something that india is quite happy about, but as you mentioned, as other developing countries, it is not all particularly good news for india thank you for that. let's go to the philippines capital. our correspondent there. philippines being one of the most vulnerable nations, what are they making of it there? >> reporter: the head of the fill phene delegate said it is not as per affect as they wanted

it to be. they did find certain portions of the language used a bit too soft. as much as the deal is legally binding, many of the provisions that they would have wanted to see there were more aspirational as opposed to obligatory. for instance, the cut of the amount they wanted a more firm obligation. indeed, the fund, they wanted a concrete figure of exactly how much was to be expected every year and exactly how this was then going to be disbursed to help countries such as the philippines which desperately needs methods to mitigate and adapt to climate change. there are typhoons, 20 on average each year, and they are only getting stronger. there's not much more they can

do but adapt at this point thank you for that. some other news. at least 21 people have died in a fire at a mental health clinic in russia's south-western region. many of those who perished were bed ridden when the blaze broke out. of the 50 people rescued, at least 20 are injured. investigators are still trying to figure out the cause of the fire. there is a lot more to come, including the palestinian family fighting efforts by settlers and the israeli government to evict them from the home they've lived in for decades. plus rising prices and falling wages pus brazil's economic crisis further placing a battle on the new president.

woman's family has been renting this house for more than 60 years. she faces eviction to make way for israeli settlors. >> translation: they are doing this to bring settlors. they talk about peace but the reality is they are taking the land. >> reporter: she should fall under what's called protected tenants who couldn't be evicted, but based on i a court appointed principle called abandonment, they can be convicted if it is proved that they didn't occupy the building count usely. that has been proved but they have count usely paid rent. it boils down to a lawyer that says that any appropriate owned by jews before 1948, as this building was, should be returned to its historical owner. israel maintains that east jerusalem is an integral part of

the law. >> they usually use this loophole to take over property in east jerusalem and try to evict tenants that live in such property. this law, of course, is discriminatory because in the same legal system and under the same laws, property that was owned by palestinians, like most of the properties left behind, all that property cannot be returned. >> reporter: this area is what is known as the muslim quarter of the old city and we're on the roof of the lady's house. slowly over time they will lose their homes to morris rail eau settlors. >> translation: nor abreaks down in our interview. it is not fair, she says her
