this is d. w. news live from berlin a late night breakthrough in the fight against global warming are you feeling the american influence in potent wrapped up with the rulebook and forcing companies to greenhouse gas emissions and helping foreign nations deal with the changing climate and the critics say the deal just doesn't go far enough. also coming up spiritual independence in the ukraine fulfills a centuries old dream of creating a united also don't independent from russia most of your business that means to.

you or. i my new tubes mcadam thanks so much for joining us talks on climate change in poland finally produced an agreement late on saturday nearly two hundred countries unanimously adopted a rulebook allowing the paris climate pact to become a professional by twenty twenty the chairman of the conference called it a historic moment the critics say the purely voluntary agreement just doesn't go far enough. it is so decided. the motions were flying high after two weeks of intense negotiations came to a successful and late on saturday night the agreement is a complicated balancing act aiming to reduce global warming while protecting the

economies of rich and poor countries alike. multiple. mean able to put together a very strong set of guidelines in order to make the paris agreement for the operation so we are very satisfied as you may have heard are. really happy they are celebrating a very successful outcome. but some observers say the package is flawed the talks have been overshadowed by a report from the un body on climate change concluding a shift away from fossil fuels is needed to cap global warming most countries wanted the reference to fossil fuels included in the deal but the united states saudi arabia russia and kuwait objected leading to what critics say is a watered down agreement while i think the main culprits remain the fossil fuel

industry they remain the interests for these governments that keep them from having ambition i think certainly the fossil fuel countries here slow things down i think that the united states certainly did not help on the issue of having science move forward but there was just an overall lack of leadership from the european union as well on getting ambition out of it. while the summit is being hailed a success for creating a transparent system for funding poor countries there will be no sanctions against states that aren't making progress the rule book relies soley on peer pressure. to keep everyone on track. the outcomes of these negotiations are far from an issue free of critics especially from countries most vulnerable to climate change are calling for a much tougher action to be on the agenda at the un's next climate conference in

sheila in twenty nineteen. for more on this story i'm joined by g.w. is louise osborn who is at the climate talks in cats in poland louise thanks for joining us the head of the climate conference has described this agreement as a thousand small steps what's your assessment has this really moved us forward or i mean it's been massively incremental i was also at the climate conference in america so directly after the paris agreement was made and is taken all of those years three years to come up with this rule book to implement the paris agreement and i think everybody's relieved there was a possibility people thought that it might not even come out with the rulebook at the end but we've got there and. you know we we have to move forward it doesn't matter people can now or the countries can now start to put their goals into practice and start taking action now there has been criticism

about a lack of ambition that countries just aren't being ambitious enough what's stopping them well there are lots of economic problems for example there are countries that are still heavily reliant on fossil fuels germany being one of them you know around thirty five percent of the energy mix here is made up by fossil by coal and it's about trying to move away from that does the cole commission that has talked about a phase out in germany but they still haven't come up with an agreement on how to make that work and you know there are workers who are still you know that's their job there has to be a fair deal for them so that they can move on to something else so that they can have a better life and so that people aren't left behind if there are lots of challenges people the job. it's obviously being affected looking again at this deal does it have any teeth or say even when the negotiators go home it can start being implemented what's going to change well it really relies on the countries moving forward and actually meeting their targets and even if they do meet their targets

under the agreement that they've already made it's not going to be enough what really needs to be done this for them to make ambitious targets more ambitious targets so that they can meet the one point five degree limit the i.p.c.c. study says that they need to me otherwise we're just going to see things getting worse so you mentioned the one point five degree limit what's at stake here what happens if we don't meet that limit what we've already seen a lot of what has already happened i mean we've seen typhoons across the pacific rising waters so some of those pacific islands could end up just paranoid together we've seen drought and germany already. while the drought story is perfectly a bit strong but a lack of rainfall there's been drought across africa and these things are only going to to get worse like i said action really does need to be taken all right. who is at the climate talks in poland thanks so much for joining us. to kiev now

way ukrainian orthodox leaders have created an independent national church the move marks a historic split from russia and has angered moscow but ukrainian president petro poroshenko hailed the decision as a further declaration of ukrainian independence. the move to create an independent ukrainian church marks a historic split with russia ukraine's president petro poroshenko was the driving force behind the new church critics say poroshenko is using it to drum up support ahead of elections next year. poroshenko hopes it will take you have even further away from russia's influence. for if it's there what kind of church is our church it's a church with the puton. circle church with moscow patriarch kirill under the prayers for the russian state and russian soldiers to these girls until now there have been several branches of the orthodox church in ukraine the largest and

oldest was part of the russian orthodox church but now moscow patriarch kirill has banned the ukrainian branch from joining the new church. this is about determining what kind of church should exist in ukraine. but church i go to war created by gold for a fold church that serves the devil that he. hardly any priests who belong to the russian branch attended the founding ceremony the new ukrainian church leader appealed to them to join. but it was the doors of our united ukrainian church will be open to all to see the ceremony ended with a rendition of ukraine's national anthem the already that relations between moscow and kiev are now worse. all right let's cross now to nick calmly who's standing by for us in kiev hi nick relations between k.f.

and moscow have been steadily worse ningbo ukraine's new national church make things even worse now. good afternoon on your well it seems like those relations couldn't get much worse short of a full scale military conflict but this officer doesn't help we've had some furious reactions from moscow talking about schism i think the really interesting thing now will be to see how it plays out how ukraine treats the moscow patriarchy the russian church which still is the biggest single confession here in ukraine present said that they would not in any way. to clamp down on the church's rights to hold its to have its congregations here but that they would support priests who wanted to transfer to the new ukrainian church i think that will be the thing that we very closely watch in moscow any kind of conflict over individual congregations or monasteries being transferred could really risk stoking for the tensions as you say russia's been extremely critical it's called this a campaign ploy by the ukrainian president who's facing

a difficult reelection in march is it mainly parish and co his push for the creation of this new church. well this is been ambition of the two previously internationally unrecognised ukrainian churches for years now but it is true that present portugal has put invest a lot of diplomatic capital in this we pushed this on so he's been at the forefront and indeed it was quite an unusual scene yesterday on the stage in front of kiev since afia cathedral having the president alongside all the bishops there having said that it was a difficult situation ukraine has been into defacto conflict with russia now for over four years so having the russian orthodox church the moscow patriarchy which is so closely associated not only with russia but president putin as the single biggest confession in this country did always raise a lot of questions. what about the people themselves how are they reacting to that new nation and dependent church. why i think there's

a lot of confusion for now as to what this means is this just a bit of abstract church law or a church diplomacy or will this actually impact on individual congregations all normal believers i think the really interesting thing to see will be how many of those must go patriarchy congregations and your priests try to go into the new church if they have conflicts maybe with their congregants with the other way around and how the government reacts to that and we've had some pretty extraordinary remarks in from world champion boxer alexander hoosick saying he's in moscow patriarchy congregant that he would he with his own face protect his church and the ministry the latter mostly here in kiev so this is a thing the jury does have the potential to involve a wider possible collation but for now i think it seems we won't really see how the government reacts to this and how it is going to play out but it definitely is something that only happens every couple of hundred years it's always this is a big deal. calmly in here and much. let's have
