these are my parents and this is mean. by them both isis and us on. the 1st of a 2 part epic tale of a remarkable family. the father the son and the jihad part one on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. and i'm having my hands in with the al jazeera news are coming to you live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes after a long night of wrangling e.u. leaders agreed to a much more ambitious emissions cuts 55 percent by the end of a decade's anticipation builds among pro-abortion rights supporters in argentina

with a vote imminent on legalizing terminations. hong kong media tycoon and beijing critic jimi law is charged on the city's contentious national security law. and one of the men found guilty in the murder of lebanon's former prime minister will be sentenced in absentia will have all the latest. i'm johnny gosch or else go with the sports as possible star le bron james is named time magazine's athlete to begin his work off the court against voter suppression. european union leaders meeting at a summit in brussels have agreed to count carbon emissions point least 55 percent by the end of the decades the reduction compared. in 1990 levels is seen as

a big step up from the previous school now there's been a record 7 percent dip in global c o 2 emissions this year according to preliminary figures from the global carbon projects the group of sciences says the drop which they see as temporary is largely because of the coronavirus locked ions that shut down industries and transports emissions files of 12 percent in the u.s. and 11 percent in europe but only marginally in china well let's get more now from paul brennan he joins me live from brussels paul let's start with that i can ching pledge on emissions as a very ambitious target sells more of. well they certainly burn the midnight oil on this one or in future they'll burn 55 percent less midnight oil because they went into the wee small hours of the morning to try to get this sticking to the target as you say is from 40 percent by

2030 reduction based on $990.00 levels down to 55 percent less than 1911 and that by the year 2030 in the ultimate ambition is for the european union bloc to be carbon net 0 by the year 2050 it's is a massively ambitious goal but they certainly believe that they can do it the wrangling was over how to get there and how to get unanimity among all 27 members and the holdouts poland in particular poland's economy very dependent on coal and poland wanted reassurances from the other countries that its economy would be protected they want to 2 things in particular they wanted a guaranteed access to european transition funds and they also wanted the reductions in carbon emissions to be linked to g.d.p. so that the poorer countries within the bloc would have to cut by less initially

the european union negotiators around the table were reluctant to give that because it kind of ties the hands of the executive committee that will draw up the policies necessary to achieve this 55 percent target but in order to get a deal done they decided to go for it and they've got a unanimous decision and we are where we are which is i think good news it certainly has another bit of good news of course is that 1.8 trillion a year a budget was also passed and you mentioned paul in there they were another one of the holdouts when it came to passing that budget but they've managed to get it through haven't they. polars had a pretty good summit and it's been a busy summer with lots on the agenda you know you've got 26 is coming up climate change you got banking union today we've had the budget as you say and poland and hungary. again holding out for

a better deal from the european union and on friday sorry on thursday that they seem to get it because what they were hoping for well it was a massive deal for a start of 2 trillion dollars worth of budget going forward for the next 7 years and as part of that there's $900000000000.00 worth of recovery funding in a combination of grants and loans and poland wanted to make sure that it wasn't held to a thing called the rule of law mechanism well it will be the germans who are proposing this did manage to get a rule of law mechanism in being that the countries who want access to that funding need to uphold the rule of law but poland managed to get a compromise whereby the rule of law will only be activated by the european court of justice and that's quite a slow moving body and so it's actually it was a an elegant way of doing a deal but kicking the mechanics of it into the long grass ok paul brennan there

bring us all the latest from brussels paul thank you very much indeed let's get more now from daniel sees a resident fellow at the central for central europe rather at the german marshall fund of the united states and joins us now from berlin is very good to have you where there's only al-jazeera news we're just hearing from our correspondent poland's appears. quite a good summit which is significant really because poland and hungary if in causing more than a few problems in the european commission have they. yes although i disagree with just another assistant on and then hungary have had a great lease regarding the rule of law because if it takes a new under origin or strategic goal a speech because you're getting completely rid of the rule of law conditionality some time disbursement of e.u. fans to the point you approve of long or significantly faltering down the stretch don't we can fairly say that none of these goals were reached but all of them

hungary in fact get it's only a sort of face saving measure. a symbolic concession that this regulation be another be implemented for a rather short period of time one or 2 years therefore i think it's questionable whether the 2 governments can be foolish satisfied with the state. do you think that we're likely to see more of this muscle from poland and hungary in the future or do you think. the european commission is going to start being able to rail the men because this was a big concern the fact that poland and hungary of taken like just listen decisions that have undermines what many countries see as european values and yet they seem to be carrying on regardless and racking up these wins do you think the commission will be able to pull together or are we going to see another big splits in europe i

should say yet another big split in europe because there are more than a few of these competing ideologies. yes i think the politicians angry and look it was not the beginning it was the actual peak of the division between the democratic and overtightening member states in the e.u. but division has been existing and undermining the e.u. is unity for more than a decade since and you're in prime minister viktor orban begin to power in tibet however i think the recent even shows the growing political readiness within the e.u. institutions and also in the other member states to challenge the territory and threat and stand up united against the destructors the question of the rule of law went into view of the e.u. finances our stake there especially hungary already have made it and use of this blockade strategy for particularly in the field of euphoria 1st and they use long term budget indeed offered poland and hungary a once in 7 year of what you need to raise the state to block its research. missing

to determine body to go what was it faced as well as their practical defeat because as i said all of their original strategic goals could be achieved will have a moderating effect or at least maybe have a moderating effect on looking at times in the future and it was so important to in phases of isolated dispose countries became now when do you really and union which will also decrease 30 influence on the politics and just finally we all know with with bret sense that there has been the big argument between one part of europe that wants more integration another part of europe that wants more sovereignty in arguably hungary in poland. and the such country is saying well this is our internal affairs we don't want to take all these refugees and migrants as you know impinging on our self and say do you think this is another argument this is just one example of what is a an ongoing and could potentially undermine the european union moving forwards the

fact that we don't seem to see while the european union couple so gather these farge solutions to a very pressing problems it just the solutions they come up with just paper over the cracks that doesn't appear to be. a principle moving forwards where yes but all the great we get that this degree of sovereignty in order to move towards the common goal is that something that you see. i think it's true that these dynamics can push the european union towards and with the speed integration but what we saw in the in this case the other 25 member states for more than ready to establish for example the core of the recovery fund we don't own and hungary and i think it shows the readiness that the integration tended to be stopped because of the concerns of one or 2 super and its member states it will only result in scenarios in the future when member states in their own czars were simply left out from the for starters of

of the integration but i think it's also important to him faces that although poland and hungary are still there on the scene in the sense that the demons like to limit or exclude your intervention into issues which they consider to be don't mistake affairs but on the other hand date or so would like to get more and more you fundings they are not independent on a functioning integration they can and cannot isolate themselves from. financial transfers and to domestic market and therefore i seen the debt situation and their position is fundamentally different from the positions of the united kingdom before it's ok. great to get your thoughts thank you so much for sharing your analysis and expertise from berlin thank you. thank you good bye then. well argentina is poised to become only the 3rd country in latin america to legalize abortion as politicians prepare to decide on

a bill before congress proves abortion rights campaigners are rallying outside sansa rivals who oppose changing the law the lower whosis accept it's narrowly approved the long before seeing the senate's weren't even cool surveillance is expects it's estimated there are some half a 1000000 illegal terminations happening in argentina every year let's get more now from al-jazeera is to raise a bush joins us now from when as i read this and to raise those protesters behind you they've been out in the streets all night it's just going after 7 o'clock local time where you are just give us a sense of what's happening what's kept the might there for so long. but that's not. what's going on

for you know this show you know. if you. know those people that are on here show their support. i think that what we are right now is it was the other. protesters have. to try to just evolve. the legal definition of often enough and he let me show you how important it would be for this country to lead our own and have. every year thousands of women and i think. that many of those women who are friends are afraid of going back because bill fear being. this isn't needed. if not passes are gone he will have to go. back in 2008

closing an old. town evangelical known as francis i think calling on a very close to some of them is argentinian he has been a constant companion in the past dr reddy's and of course like. many other people here are saying that the catholic church has a post in a passive voice it has opposed to the past same sex marriage it is now causing evolution and the baton to change has come a series of that bill failed to pass the senate but in 2018 was simply different no . major difference is our preference i got a phone numbers this was a campaign promise quarter of legalizing abortion in the country back in 2000 is incorrect when michael who was the 1st president directly from congress he was personally against it now what's different is rather this bill has support of

executive law there are major changes are far kinder that there's been some more difficult issue for example restricting objects uniforms contraceptive critic long carrying out an evolution in an institution long carrying out an institution and of course those who are opposing the bill are still trying to treat such a from state of martyrs in this affidavit 40000 people have lost their lives in argentina it's a major economic crisis still the women here people here are saying that passing this law is. 'd 'd ok to risible a lot of friends and foreigners there is thank you very much for that update. well we're getting word of a verdict in the sentencing. of a case connected to the death of lebanon's former prime minister rafik hariri let's

cross live now to singer harder she joins us from the reach of what have you been hearing. well the trial chamber has just handed down its sentences in murder the former prime minister rafiq and howdy a murdered in an assassination to 20055 life sentences that is what. the man who was found guilty in august the man they believe executed this murder the man the trial chamber says enough evidence links him to have played a central role in the assassination definitely this is important for international justice many here in lebanon will say this is the 1st time it's no longer a culture of impunity for the 1st time there is accountability but it's not ideal in the sense that the trial was that he was tried in absentia and he's still on the

run hezbollah the group that he belongs to has repeatedly said that they're not going to hand him over to the tribe you and all in fact they believe that tribunals is politically motivated and for them they are not concerned these were the words of the secretary general has on the other we are not concerned with the verdict the lebanese government is obliged to hand him over but like i said as well as refusing to do that then hezbollah along with its allies dominate this country politically and militarily in fact the balance of power has been in their favor since the killing of the prime minister so the sentencing has now been pronounced the verdict was issued in august but the man. who has been found guilty by the international tribunals is on the run i'm saying that will this change and the thing because this killing of course. tensions and divisions in a society that knows quite

a lot of tensions and divisions in society has this verdict help. the country to move almost solely or is the fact that hezbollah's refusing to hand hoover making this an open wounds that will continue. well it will remain an open wound behind me was where the prime minister the former prime minister was killed it was a massive explosion 21 other people were killed he was known as mr lebannon but at the same time he was also the head of the sunni community the man who is now convicted is a member of a group and of course there has been some tensions not just here in lebanon but across the region and this will definitely not help the fact that he's not being handed over in fact many people you know are upset because when the verdict was handed down there were celebrations and found as well as strongholds they were

distributing sweets so people considered that the provocative even the son of the former prime minister sadat heidi who worked with hezbollah in one way or another in former governments called on has to cooperate saying that we will not rest until justice is served but like i said if any security agency was to go after selling my yash it could trigger a civil strife and even if this operative this has been the operative has been found guilty the court implicated him affiliated him with the organization and the organization is affiliated with the syrian government which was in control of this country so many people here will say he could have not acted alone he received orders from higher up from the leadership and so many. people here would want to see accountability on a much higher level so no the short answer to your question no it's not going to heal divisions at all ok said a hunter there live for us in beirut sina thank you for that. there is

a lot smaller still to come on this news hour including we'll tell you why doctors in india are on strike you can as the nation struggles with and then. the canary islands has resumed flights to send migrants back home after searching the evils and then sport the football coach it was racially abused in the champions league thanks his supporters. a prominent hong kong pro-democracy activist and media telling khun jimmy lie has been charged under the controversial security law that was imposed on the city by beijing the allegations include that he's co-written with foreign forces moyes already in jail after being denied bail over a separate matter dear good pal and joins us now from hong kong just 6 playing this

the significance of what has happened to jimmy lie. now this is a huge charge that's been leveled against jimmy ly he's been as you say charged with collusion with foreign forces against the national security law there are a number of cases against them most of them relate to his pro-democracy activities and protest related to the protests of last year but this if found guilty of violating the national security law he could face a lifetime in prison jimmy law is very well known here he's a billionaire media mogul he's the founder of the biggest protocol crecy news outlets here and he also has very strong ties with the u.s. in fact last summer 2019 join the heights of the hong kong protests he had meetings with the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh and the vice president mike pence and since then

he has been very vocal about calling for u.s. support for the push for democracy in hong kong and this is perhaps the reason why he has been in the crosshairs of that national security law now incidentally this latest charge comes just days after the u.s. leveled more sanctions at a high level chinese officials just a few days ago including freezing their assets and travel bans. ever since this controversial national security law has come in with we've seen a space of arrests and a spate of cool cases in recent weeks it appears the wrist something of a crack in that's been accelerating and interesting it's not just in hong kong. absolutely it certainly feels like like every day almost every day there is a court case or there are severe rest in fact today alone a 100 people are in court facing various cases all related to protest activities or

approach of ocracy activities one of them is a 19 year old man called tony ciarán who has been found guilty of just a creating the chinese flag and other protests related activities and he also has been charged separately on the national security law but also in beijing we're seeing some want to for a crackdown or a push we heard that a bloomberg news producer that international financial news outlets the producer of which has been detained since monday arrested under suspicion of endangering national security and now has found it's a producer it's quite a prolific producer she's worked for some of the major news outlets including their american news network c.b.s. and with us here at knowledge is era codes a very good poem there bring is the very latest there from hong kong thank you so much for.

waiting for 19 hours for that judgment but it appears many of the waiting much much longer than that certainly lots of people celebrating that decision but. in terms of in terms of the strength of feeling across argentina on the whole you mentioned opposition from the catholic church argentina's a very is a religious society you rule this be received do you think in the general population and not just the protests. that are there should be from the right to be sure you know you can see not to mention before to for most. folks how big it's. so very. different from for those who are not the 1st to be appointed. from the american cannot or will not a few who are opposing the law of the modern out of her car under your nose because

have been already have been under. her know how not good the medical profession. i don't know how. you are thinking of her problem and if you love me but i am much more than what you think if bill should have been notified. i don't know how he could have her from a fever have either her son got to be something you need to know from home or move along and have been for months. from her. and in fact maybe ok no no no no no no. no no decay. was proud of me wonders. how. i can forgive that happening or not have to give it. right out of the raw or have. even heard of how.

the end of the decade the resurrection compared to the 1990 levels this is a big step conical. the lower house of congress in argentina has just voted to legalize abortion pro-abortion rights campaigners all rallied outside congress ousted rivals who approved skeins in the wall in my roof to the upper hands. and the man convicted in the death of lebanon's former prime minister rafik hariri has been given 5 rights times saleem i ash was found to trade in these in full when the bombing that killed rafik hariri and 21 other people in 2005. america has become the 4th arab nation to agree to normalize ties with israel the u.s. brokered the deal promising in exchange to recognize miracles claim over the disputed western sahara region well here's the area which up until my the us agreed was

disputes its western sahara there and don't agree has been false over for years by morocco and the sahar all the ethnic group this is the foundation on which we can now build this peace will resume liaison offices quickly between israel and morocco and work as rapidly as possible to establish full diplomatic relations we also institute direct flights between morocco in israel and israel morocco giving this bridge of peace and even more solid foundation this will be a very warm peace peace as never the light of peace on this hanukkah day as never shown brighter than today in the middle east. well the united arab emirates was the 1st country to do normalization deal with israel that was back in august september that was full of fine agreements between bahaman and israel both attended a signing ceremony at the white house then in october it was the turn of sudan's

transitional government mike hanna is in washington d.c. for is with the political reaction from the u.s. president trump in this service acted unilaterally no consultation with allies or the united nations which is the overarching body discussing the western sahara issue this is once again a trump move taken adjust by himself with absolutely no consultation whatsoever the meaning of this is that the u.s. position has not been reversed decades of u.s. policy with regard to western sahara as not simply being reversed the u.s. had been alongside united nations members african union the european union had all insisted that the way to get a peaceful settlement in the region was to get a referendum in western sahara now president trying to simply turn his back on all those years of discussion all those years of policy making and all those years of

negotiation that happened and there's already been a consequence a very rare criticism from a republican in the senate jim inhofe has released a statement saying that president trump has traded the voices of the people of the no voice for this particular peace deal he really critical of president trump for taking this action for reversing u.s. policy now the question is when joe biden comes into office where the heat is follows along with what president trump does which could well anger many of his allies or whether he attempts to reverse the situation which could imperil this peace deal. canary islands has received flights to send migrants back to north africa following the lifting of coronavirus travel restrictions the region is struggling to cope with a surge in of arrivals with 22000 people landing this year alone and smith reports from grand canaria. the figures don't add up to $20000.00 migrants arrivals on

the canary islands this year and nowhere for them to go these a minus there's room for just $24.00 at the center is a fisherman from senegal. that operated you can't catch fish the sea was empty by the big boats there's nothing we can do there's no work so no money in senegal so we decided to have another life to come here and work and help our family. the local government is paying hotels to put up thousands of migrants while it builds more holding camps the pandemic has stopped tourism in gran canaria hotel occupancy rates are at just 7 percent instead of the usual 95 percent at this time of year the islanders hope their very low covert infection rate will throw them a lifeline but some worry too many migrants will put tourists off in the beginning we said we can help because through us a desperate need of decent accommodation it's still

a situation which can be tolerated also by tourists in your future if war and migrants and tourist and that's a little bit overdone $22000.00 migrants arrived here so far this year this week the government resumed deportations to north and west africa it's only a few dozen people so far but the government hopes it will be a tear and for the charities that work with migrants but won't solve anything long term those people are fleeing from very hard life context such as conflicts or extreme poverty or lack of opportunity so that's the reason that pushes them to risk their life in the ocean in this case so we don't think that. will be a solution to that phenomenon and will not stop those people to finding better opportunities and the different life. there's obvious relief at having made it to dry land at least 568 others died this year in making this journey they hope to

make a better life on the european mainland but this island is as far as most of these new arrivals will get most days now there can be hundreds of arrivals here on the authorities on the canary islands struggling to cope the spanish government wants the e.u. to agree a system whereby migrants are distributed equally amongst member states but there's little enthusiasm for that. within the e.u. . but it's with al-jazeera on the canary of. the us a sanctioned number of alleged human rights abusers including the leader of russia's chechnya region runs on that cutoff is a close ally of president vladimir putin 5 other individuals with close ties to putin have also been sanctioned as well as 3 people in haiti and 5 connected to yemen who see rebels the sanctions are parts us human rights accountability act also known as the magnitsky act
