a lost opportunity that's how the u.n. secretary general has described a deal reached at the climate change summit in madrid the world's biggest polluters cannot agree on some of the most contentious issues even though talks dragged on for 2 extra days aren't or never nick reports from madrid. it was a relentless log of endless negotiations whole blocks of nations working adults with a seemingly impossible goal of an agreement acceptable to all and when a cold came it was no a near enough for many observers you know i'm not happy i don't think anybody should be happy when you look at the forces outside these halls where people are in the streets it was 8000000 in september you have impacts happening from australia to germany and you have science that is becoming more compelling and more and deniable and the and the things that they have predicted are actually more
3:02 am
conservative than what we're seeing now i think it's time for real action we can't just rehash what we agreed to 5 years ago. in the year of mass climate protest it's not surprising that direct action found its way into the exhibition holes in madrid given the chasm that exists between what science says is required to be done and the snail's pace of progress from national delegations the star of the climate movement home did on the science and why is it so important to stay below 1.5 degrees. because even our one degree evil are dying from the climate crisis. because that is what the united science calls for to avoid the stabilizing the climates so that we have the best possible chance to avoid setting up universe to build chain reactions to grab his words had no effect conference it should have ended at 6 pm on friday went on through the 19 to saturday and on into sunday sleep was a scarce commodity but there was it in policy of all school 6 part of the text that
3:03 am
deals with carbon markets the poorer nations saying they were being cheated by the united states australia saudi and brazil you have the floor. this was because of a vision we are not seeing the ambition all the references to science is has gotten weaker all references to enhancing the and the seas have gone it seems we prefer to look backward and looking forward we need to address this issue for those who've been part of the global movement calling for action this is been a big disappointment it is really disappointing to see that we've had our for you because i believe escaped in telling us that they were happy about actions and the fact that to create awareness for climate change and then we come here and we get the opposite of what they say is so disappointing the arguments here in madrid have been relentless and many are now questioning whether this multilateral approach is
3:04 am
fit for purpose so in one year's time the crucial climate summit is in globe where national commitments to cut emissions most much the suns otherwise many believe we face runaway climate change and the al-jazeera madrid. terrorist said he was disappointed by the final declaration but he won't give up on tackling the climate crisis this is what he tweeted i am more determined than ever to work for 2020 to be the year in which all countries commit to do what science tells us is necessary to reach carbon neutrality in 2050 and a no more than $1.00 degree temperature rise environmental groups have accused the world's richest nations of showing little commitment to tackling climate change they call the deal watertown and weak many say it's now up to the european union to push for progress. it seems that evil known used to be the leader. we want to be and we we're going to be and that's what we are doing we want to have a climate to fight with 2050 and we. do some green be and
3:05 am
now we are working on that because we want to build our economy and sustainably. still we wait we need to understand that we don't we don't have a plan b. . french and kobo is from the grantham research institute on climate change in the environment she told my colleague warren taylor the budget summit was disappointing but not a total failure. the most important outcome that wasn't 32 was the agreement on the rule book of the markets so what i mean that that was a kind of a framework the idea was to give incentives for people to cut their emissions what was it that was so important about that goal so the idea of carbon markets is to provide an opportunity for nations which caught emissions below the goals that they have committed to achieve to sell carbon credits to other nations or to companies to help them achieve a mission with actions and i think the major point of disagreement and in
3:06 am
motherhood was the stringency of those roles so some countries wanted them to be more flexible while others are good that they should be environmentally and socially credible so i mean is there any i mean obviously that has not been back to next year is there is that each also to be any different in a year's time well i think the idea is that the next intermediate conference of the parties the subsidy by this which will meet and born and may that they will take up this issue i think the expectation is that as the urgency of the issue rises next year because countries in the next year called a conference of the parties in glasgow will be the most important climate change summit since paris agreement so everyone has to come up with mom vicious targets and i think the expectation is that there will be more pressure on governments to be mom vicious. security forces in lebanon have fired tear gas and rubber bullets of people protesting for a 2nd night outside parliament a test started out as
3:07 am
a peaceful rally against the toughest crackdown on anti-government demonstrations in 2 months the violence comes just hours before members of parliament are set to meet to choose a new prime minister or testers are demanding an overhaul of a government they accuse of corruption and sectarianism so to her has more from beirut. a 2nd night of violence in central beirut tear gas was again used by security forces to disperse protesters who are outside parliament square there gathered here in a show of defiance a day earlier parliament police used what amnesty international described as excessive force against an overwhelmingly peaceful protest many now fear state intimidation against the leaderless protest movement is growing. i don't think it's possible for people to see. the way that the aggression and the way that they treated protesters yesterday and kind of turn a blind eye even if they were afraid it seems like they understand that unity

overwhelming support for a new constitution that would be done with it with delegates completely elected from the citizenship rather than half the legislature a lot of lawmakers and a half elected from the citizenship at large and the other thing it says is what people's priorities are and what we've seen so far is that they won't better public health public pensions better education and after that there is a whole other list a wish list if you like but these are the priorities for chileans which isn't surprising but if this is not more is not politically binding or legally binding it's considered morally binding given the large turnout place in india have fired tear gas and used the tongs to disperse protesters in the capital new delhi as unrest over a controversial citizenship law continues says another vehicles were set on fire by demonstrators before police stormed a university were many were thought to be hiding out there's been widespread anger

3:25 am
home ground he's critical base that it's getting thinner by the day it's quite possible that they really show a statement condemning the u.a.e. intervention but then again i don't think it's going to do anything funny thing i think is just going to prove once again that president had has very little power if it so in yemen and in the south in particular even though an agreement with actually brokered way south. and that he's positioned towards the south and traditional council and southerners dimona to try actually have to session continues to to placate presidency and actually it would at his position even even more so i don't think that it would be in his best interest actually say anything i think it would be a bit more pragmatic on this paula to actually try to find a political solution with the u.a.e. and try to figure out why is it that people continue to defy he's he's president but i don't think that on the ground he would be able to do much if at all syrians
