step closer to legalizing abortion after the lower house of congress approves a landmark bill. i didn't got a more students are in rolling in public schools but with long waiting lists some kids have too much time on that. after more than 10 hours of the go ca sions european union leaders have reached a deal to try to slow climate change and tackle the most pressing issue of our times the block has agreed to cut carbon emissions by at least 55 percent by the end of the decade good to chill with. a reduction of 55 percent by 2030 means that our 2050 commitment is credible it means that we in europe would have a leadership role to play very soon we will be celebrating the 5th anniversary of this commitment made in paris the paris agreement and we have been firmly can. it

is the european union from the beginning this is a very positive saddle in the field of climate and diplomacy to bring in other parts of the world to get the jump on the bandwagon and to come up with common standards and share our ambitions the agreement comes the day before climate summit marking 5 years of a landmark paris agreement in 2015 world leaders reached a legally binding treaty to limit global warming well below 2 degrees celsius but friday's e.u. agreement is fraught with challenges a global federation of trade unions estimates the transition to net 0 emissions will put 11000000 jobs of risk mostly in eastern europe but at the same time climate groups say that the e.u. target falls far short of tackling the global climate emergency of 0 as paul brennan reports now from brussels. the e.u. would prioritize sorting out the 70 ad budgets and so they punted the negotiations over the climate deal into the evening and as

a result it went way into the night in fact it was around 6 am when they finally decided to agree a deal largely because i know a magical the german chancellor of germany holding the presidency of the european council for this 6 month period said it would be a disaster if they couldn't come to an agreement on the eve of the 5th anniversary of the paris agreement now what basically happened is that poland fell into line polish the polish economy is heavily reliant on coal some 3 quarters of the electricity generated in poland is from burning coal and the industry employs around 100000 strongly unionized workers so i'm hearing that the polish prime minister said look you've got to give me a deal to protect our economy otherwise i'm going to lose my job when i go back to warsaw. although shell michel the president of the european council didn't say what kind what the exact concessions were i can tell you will poland was looking for and that is for economic concessions economic protections and also for the level of

emissions cuts to be associated with the g.d.p. of each country so although the european union is going to go for 55 percent as a bloc it's clear that some countries will probably not meet 55 percent and others will have to exceed 55 percent if that's a reach that 55 percent average as i say michel very relieved and happy that a deal was done it's hugely symbolic it's hugely important for the planet as well don't forget but it was a long night. turkey is criticizing european union plans to expand the sanctions targeting its drilling operations in the eastern mediterranean the e.u. has agreed to widen its sanctions list of turkish individuals and companies involved in gas trading activities contested by greece turkey is describing the move as biased and unlawful while e.u. countries say they hope it will send a strong message. on the 50 europe showed its ability to be firm with turkey by

adopting sanctions to make it put a stop to its unilateral actions in the eastern mediterranean last october we gave turkey a chance we reached out a hand laid down conditions we have unanimously observed that turkey has continued with its provocations this firmness and the new sanctions a sign of a new approach to turkey's president other one says the differences with the e.u. can be resolved through dialogue but at the same time he's also facing the threat of new sanctions from the u.s. reports suggest that washington will target turkey over its purchase of russian s. $400.00 missiles very huge it didn't look before these sanctions will harm all the parties it is not benefiting on either side despite all this we believe common sense about shared interests would cause the right steps to be taken any difference can be resolved through dialogue despite the sanctions turkey's doors will remain open to all investors both the us and the e.u.

administrations should not listen to the anti ticky lobbies rather go back to common sense and practical policies. of 07 concealed the reports from istanbul. as a nationalism is a very strong sentiment among the turks especially within the last couple of years as so ricky went through a failed coup attempt back in 2016 and the government has been successful in a using the retore bad foreign powers are trying to break the country or break the government and when the economy so far is it's the foreign powers that's why people in turkey buy this and i have to also say that in the last 2 decades and he is a anti us sentiment is highly on the rise and tricky it's almost up to a ball 80 percent according to the polls according to academic studies so these will have no more impact than gathering people around the president are gone and

supporting him more but of course the economy will be a fact that that's why many people have been buying u.s. dollars the turkish lira national foreign c. has been negatively affected especially because of the diplomatic tension between washington and ankara in the last 2 years but definitely political wise in turkey people believe that turkey has rights in eastern mediterranean and people believe that france and greece have maximalist approach this is what also the government has been claiming since the beginning of the crisis this will have no more impact than gathering people around. one of the men found guilty of the murder of lebanon's former prime minister has been sentenced to 5 life terms salim was tried and sentenced in absentia he was found to have played a leading role in the bombing that killed a few careering 21 other people in 2005 sentence was handed down by the special

tribunal for lebanon which is based in the netherlands so the holder reports from beirut. some would argue that this is a symbolic sentencing even the guilty verdict which was handed down in august because the man who would be tried you know found guilty of executing this assassination was tried in absentia and he remains at large and many feel that he will never face justice because this is the group that he's affiliated to has repeated time and time again that they're not going to hand him over to the international courts they consider the courts a political tool that is being used against them and in the words of the secretary general we're not concerned with the verdict so at the end of the day controls political and military power in this country if any security agency would even try to attempt to arrest him if they knew where he where he was it could trigger some

sort of strife even the son of the prime minister who was the prime minister prime minister doesn't that. he welcomed the verdict back in august and he called on hezbollah to cooperate but like i said the balance of power today is in favor of hezbollah and its allies in fact since the killing of the balance of power has been in favor of hezbollah and its allies. lebanon's hezbollah says the charges brought against the caretaker prime minister who were the beirut port explosion a politically motivated it's been 3 full ministers supreme charged with negligence over the oldest lost the last more than $200.00 dead the statement by the iran backed hezbollah is part of a wider political pushback against the calls ongoing investigation the ministers were aware of the stockpile of ammonium nitrate that was responsible for the blast . a bill to legalize abortion in argentina has cleared a major hurdle passing the votes in the lower house of congress but it's expected

test a combination of its experimental corona virus vaccine with russia's sputnik. russia's sovereign wealth fund which is bankrolling spot thinks he made the announcement the move slightly to be viewed in russia as a long awaited vote of confidence in its vaccine but could prove controversial elsewhere as moscow has been accused of rushing is it a drawback she's a global health and infectious diseases expert at the university of oxford he says that while there have been concerns over the quality of russian testing a joint efforts with astra zeneca would be good news. prince parents is so critical and that's why we've been pleased to see publication of data from the pfizer vaccine from the auster asters an oxford astra zeneca vaccine recently and it is a concern with the vaccine coming out of russia we've seen some phase one in 2 trial results published in medical journals but no yet data from the ongoing phase 3 trial there always is a concern to approve

a vaccine before you have that validation of safety and efficacy now as being announced today as this possible trial of the century combining the 2 vaccines would be done in a clinical trial setting and it has you know some promise the idea sort of to it's almost like cross training in athletics where 2 different sports can make you a better athlete so rather than giving them the 1st dose of the booster dose of the same vaccine maybe giving different types of vaccine for the 1st and 2nd doses might give you a stronger or more durable immune response so that's something that i think will we'll see through various trials in the months to come and i think it's always promising to see collaboration we're talking about a partnership between the galileo institute and astra zeneca and the researchers in oxford which i think can be viewed potentially as separate from some of the both the political dialogue and some of the other elements you know the reality is that we need scientific cooperation you know my view is we need the best vaccines we

need them to be available the best approaches and it doesn't matter where they come from as long as it's done in a way that is rigorous and ethical and transparent so that we can have full confidence at the vaccines are going to be successful. legislators in the democratic republic of congo have voted to remove the speaker of parliament who is an ally of a former president the move is a test of support for the current president felix should cater who is trying to build a majority in parliament from allies of the former president joseph kabila shallop ballasts reports. the woman at the heart of the political crisis in democratic republic of congo janine mobile and. she was the speaker of parliament in an ally of former president joseph kabila after hours of debate politicians even those who support could be lower voted to impeach or feel like they're going to basically think it was time everything is cyclical her time has passed she did nothing and we
