8:04 pm
from the worst effects of global warming but they're stuck on how countries should report reductions in greenhouse emissions and how to finance the fight against climate change in poorer nations now a small group of countries are holding up the deal. joining us from quetta it's a now it's crystal balls he's director of german watch that's a nonprofit development and environmental organization hi christophe good seeing you it's not unprecedented that these talks go into overtime who is holding up the deal this time. this time it's for the you know priscilla wants to include a huge loophole into the rulebook which is here negotiated to implement the parents the cream and. present procedure actually once that stuff recounted. the country gives money on the one hand to its emissions in another country
8:05 pm
and that then all of this country can count. for the can account for the emission reduction but over them a country where the reductions take place where christina if in the example if the rain forest is supported by this land for as the emperor donator both would calculate it but in reality only once the climate is protected and so this is extremely serious and it's what's that the hope that many other countries just say this is not possible all right christoph now it looks like the impending result wouldn't necessarily be the breakthrough that the world was hoping for why is that and what does that feel mean for the future. i think you can get out here a relatively good rule book to implement the paris agreement in a solid way in the next decade but what is missing is the political will of quite
8:06 pm
a number of countries to implement the paris the cream and was a necessary speak. and this is very visible here though there has much more to happen in the next couple of years. all right chris stuff down for us and catch of it's there from being german watch thank you very much. ok. to have now way ukrainian orthodox leaders have voted to break from moscow and create an independent ukrainian church the new church is to be led by the bishop off key if patrick at the move is shorter and go to russia but ukrainian president petro poroshenko hailed the decision as a historic event and another declaration off ukrainian independence. do you craney and faithful turn out to support an independent ukrainian orthodox church one that doesn't answer to moscow this schism will likely help ukrainian president petro
8:07 pm
poroshenko is campaigning to be reelected next year in fact he's been a driving force on saturday he said that the creation of a new church is another declaration of ukraine's independence. three different ukrainian church organizations met saturday and elected metropolitan epiphanny of kiev as the new church leader. this is a great historical event our own independent all through talks church is being created in ukraine we've been waiting for this wonderful historical event for hundreds of years we're happy and joyful because we have our own independent church in an independent state. ukrainian religious support for the russian orthodox church has been waning for a long time support for an independent church has grown since the rumbling conflict on the border between the ukraine and russia began in two thousand and fourteen. yet before you and i think a lot will change. god willing the war in the east of our country will come to an
8:08 pm
end. because we want this and pray for this and the independent ukrainian orthodox church will then pray to gold in one joint voice. and ask him to send peace to our country. you know you're right this will be a big blow to russian president vladimir putin and to russian influence the russian orthodox church will lose a third of its congregation in one go it will also probably lose legitimacy as the leader of the global orthodox church putin likes to say that ukrainians and russians are one people united under one church but once you create an orthodox independence comes to pass moscow will have to rewrite part of its script. ok now countries across asia are seeing a growing demand for female text drivers to combat and ease among female passengers worried for their safety in places like india many women say they don't feel safe enough to travel alone with a male driver in one case that received international attention
8:09 pm

8:10 pm
one spot by reuters because they say they're not doing enough to combat this violence against women so it seems women are taking matters into their own hands as one young fame out she's eighteen years old she's launched a petition calling for indian ride sharing app. ola that's india's big competitor to hire more than. hire another two hundred skinny fame drivers by twenty twenty it's already received more than fifty thousand signatures in just a few months so quite popular in the petition she cites that twenty fourteen attack is something that sends chills down her spine when she has to order a taxi she says as a student i travel frequently and i wish i had an option of choosing a woman cab driver i should have would have had a lot more comfortable and safer but the harsh reality is there are hardly any commercial drivers who are women but she's not the only one there was also a mother in india who was using a taxi service to send her child to and from school one day he launched this.
8:11 pm
sorry as she launched his company called koala cabs because one one day the regular driver just didn't turn up it was another guy and she didn't feel safe so she thought this is probably happening all across the country so it seems to be taking a lot of steam in india all right so we've talked about india but what about other countries where women might feel unsafe taking a cab well yeah i mean it's not only in india and pakistan raj airings become increasingly popular in the last five years and probably because women tend to drive less in india there they make up a large share of the ride share uses. an all female taxi service called pink taxis launch there for four women who are who are worried about their safety and karim which is the divide based company and they're there they operate in pakistan and across the middle east they're also offering a female only service within their app in indonesia there's this shari'ah compliant company that's opened up called she jek and they're motorbike sharing service for women so it's really taking off across the middle east i want to get to this and if
