12:02 pm
it lacks ambition and i think that the good thing is they now have this rulebook so which gives them the guidance that they need so there's no more excuses but they don't need that they should just get on with it i mean they know the science they know the technology they have the rulebook there's nowhere to hide and. as ever this was a long exhausting process negotiators working through the night seeking agreement. there were constant reminders for delegates from the sidelines upping the pressure to get something done the fortnight had started and finished with stark warnings about where we're heading from two generations the people have spoken. leaders of the world you must believe the continuation of our civilization. and the natural world upon which we depend.

is in your hands thank you. you say you love your children above all else and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes. until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than it's what is politically possible there is no hope. there were fears that one point that the main headline from poland would it be no agreement to talk with brazil protesting wooding about carbon markets this is not exactly what the bargain for i think in a negotiation really we get we bargained for but this is a good start i think you're right we need to increase the ambition and the commitment to reduce the carbon. carbon emissions globally next stop on this long climate road is a major u.n. summit to be held in new york next september hosted by the un secretary general

12:05 pm
a half degrees what is absolutely critical that we want to avoid and let's just do that i think that i think that's where the game is i don't think one point five years and it's on the table. remember singer has been reappointed as sri lanka's prime minister almost two months after his firing set off a political crisis he took the oath of office before president my three palace city center that's the man who sat him prime minister wick right missing are always maintained his dismissal was unlawful his replacement failed to get home limits approval enough and as has more from the sri lankan capital colombo. from the victim missing having been lost in this political crisis which is written on top for almost two months he writes from the beginning when he was so unceremoniously sacked by prison my father seriously to say that he was the legitimate prime minister of this country who said he had the parliamentary majority no matter who
12:06 pm
said otherwise the president the new prime minister by the budget cuts at the time the oil clean that he had the majority of the convincing has basically shorn of that he has gone the distance and once again standing before the band and sacked him on the twenty sixth of october to take orders as the prime minister of sri lanka now obviously a lot of water under the bridge a long scathing attack from the president against the missing her to the point that he said he never can see death looking to take the single once again but if he has he was ever a long time in politics and have become a singer once again as prime minister a lot to be sorted out still who is going to be in the cabinet what is the composition of the government going to be and how this country is filled with. groups of defiant jello vesper tess's of again faced off with tens of thousands of police officers around france but the anti-government movement appears to have lost some momentum under symons reports from paris. lots of power is
12:07 pm
once again with so i would think with us but there are some differences from all this happening most of the day has been peaceful with much balkan. stroll the yellow vests to avoid fall and some rioting people on the streets as well. the police have been using different tactics as well particularly at one of the main focal points of protest the up to trail for. most of this was crowd dispersal not riot control and that varies from previous protests that had been much more emphasis on passive resistance and some strong imagery these women styled as money and the symbol of the french republic facing off the police in riot gear and the south west this week and seen a major attempt from president emanuel mccrone to quell the protest movement with tax concessions and the increase in the minimum wage may have had some effect but
12:08 pm
the people here say the numbers may be down for a variety of reasons but momentum is still strong. julie because just like the numbers are down because we have been protesting for five weeks it's known some universities chose to stay at home or on the roundabouts in their town some couldn't come to paris it's also a result of the strasberg attack me and i'm going to mourn if he knew those measures announced by my count come from an illegitimate government he has just done this for our movement to stop because it has hurt his popularity and image abroad a given our rights are not respected i will keep fighting. another factor that might explain some lower numbers is choose days attack on a christmas market in strands book in which four people were killed with security forces stretched the government had called on the yellow vests to scale down their protests and aside from that the christmas holiday season is here although you'd
12:09 pm
never guess that by looking at the shows in leeds a this weekend this is space that should be jam packed with a shop has only ten days ahead of christmas to gas in the air again this demonstration is ending much the same way as the one last week of president mccrone thinks that he's calming the situation down not might be a premier sure judgment under simmons al-jazeera paris. well the yellow vests protests began in november driven by anger over tax rises on diesel that's the most common fuel used by motorists in france diesel prices have already risen by about twenty three percent over the past year and they were going to increase even more from january because of that new tax president. has now scrapped that planned increase and announced an increase instead to the minimum wage and tax relief for pensioners so these concessions will cost the government eleven billion
12:10 pm
dollars and that pushes its budget deficit above the e.u. three percent of g.d.p. limits and the protests of also cost businesses more than a billion dollars in damage and loss trade lower asli manny is a former president of the young european socialist she says president macross is out of touch. what is clear is that with the holiday coming up it's probably going to go a little bit down but we don't know what's going to happen in january anyway and he hasn't brought any solution to part of the protesters also that are high school students for instance and i think that that was one of the major mistakes of his political stance you know not understanding that the youth also want justice and want recognition for the their studies. so we'll see we'll see if you know what happens after today but what is for sure is that there is a huge frustration with mccombs announcements this week because clearly he didn't understand the main message of the core or the two main messages at the core of the
12:11 pm
protests which was social justice that the wealthy also contribute to public services decent wages transition and democracy you know how can citizens be heard in the political decision making process is this because clearly it's not the case so i don't think he's addressed these big claims the e.u. has warned turkey against seeking any unilateral military action in syria president bedouin has threatened to launch a new offensive in the northern city of man big e.u. foreign policy chief eric a mother really said turkey should refrain from undermining the u.s. led coalition against eisel on wednesday president had a one said turkish forces will enter if the u.s. doesn't remove why p.g. kurdish fighters whom turkey consider as terrorists they want to separate front against eisel in the east of syria u.s. backed kurdish fighters destroyed a mosque used as isis command center in huggy in the city is the group's last
