say coming out spiritual independence in ukraine kiev fulfills a centuries old dream of creating a united orthodox church independent from russia moscow is not immune. to it and then those of a small church in the netherlands have been holding round the clock press for more than six weeks to prevent full sorry teens from deporting a local immigrant family that she told the bids arrests while a religious service is on the way. i'm on you tube as mckinnon 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 rule book allowing the paris climate pact to become operational by the year twenty twenty and chairman of the conference called it
1:02 pm
a historic moment but critics say the purely voluntary agreement just does not go far enough it is sold outside. there was visible relief when two weeks of intense negotiations finally came to an end and cut to the chair delegates from almost two hundred countries had to overcome major divisions in their quest to reduce global warming while protecting the economies of rich and poor countries alike. very satisfied as you may have heard or. really they are celebrating a very good success for. the work that outcome a common set of rules to implement a previously agreed goal limiting global temperature rises to below two decrease celsius rules that govern the nuts and bolts of how countries reduce carbon emissions how they're monitored and how to help poorer nations with funding but
1:03 pm
critics say the agreement as deeply flawed appear in part because there'll be no sanctions against states that are making progress or relies on p. pressure alone to keep everyone on track. the outcomes of these negotiations are far from ambitious usually of. another point of tension the refusal of the u.s. russia saudi arabia and kuwait to endorse a major u.n. study which found that the goal that everyone's working towards isn't actually enough to get climate change under control scientists warn that a strict cap of one point five degrees and a commitment to shift away from fossil fuels needed to avert disaster and 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
1:04 pm
ambition out of a very bad. a sentiment echoed by fifteen year old activist greater toolbag who had some harsh words for policymakers. you are not mature enough to tell it like it is even that. you leave to us children. climate activists both young and old feel leaders have once again done too little too late but. for more on this story i'm joined by g.w. is louise osborne who was at the climate talks 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 it's taken all of those
1:05 pm
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 of 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 well by coal and it's about trying to move away from that there's 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
1:06 pm
job there has to be a fair deal. them so that they can move on to something else so that they can have a better life than some of the people are left behind with this so lots of challenges people their jobs obviously being affected looking again at this deal does it have any teeth though so even when been negotiations go home it can start being implemented what's going to change well it really relies on the countries moving forward and not 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 mention 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
1:07 pm
rising waters so some of those pacific islands could end up disappearing altogether we've seen drought in germany already. well the drought story is probably a bit strong but that 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 louise was born who is at the climate talks in poland thanks so much for joining us. also docs priests in ukraine have established an independent national church the move has angered the russian orthodox church which control the ukrainian branch for more than three hundred years ukraine's president petro poroshenko has hailed the decision saying it was a further declaration of independence from russia relations between the two countries collapsed often must there is an exception of crimea and twenty four seen here says a russian backed churches on its soil are a kremlin tool to spread again propaganda. alright let's cross now to d.w.
1:08 pm
and it calmly who's standing by for us in kiev high net relations between keil kiev and moscow have been steadily worsening will ukraine's new national church make things even worse now. good afternoon i knew well it seemed like those relations couldn't get much worse short of a full scale military conflict but this office it 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 further tensions as you
1:09 pm
say russia's been extremely critical it's called a campaign ploy by the ukrainian president who's facing a difficult reelection in march is it mainly parish and co has pushed 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 in he's been at the forefront and indeed it was quite 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
1:10 pm
new nations 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 moscow 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 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 that jury does have the potential to involve a wide possible palatial 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
1:11 pm
something that only happens every couple of hundred years it's also this is a big deal. calmly in here and much. now some of the other stories making news around the world georgia has an overrated its first female president french born salome was elected after winning nearly sixty percent of the runoff but it's the opposition says itself not recognize that vote international observers say the election was well managed zora be shrilly previously served as foreign minister and . sri lanka's president has reinstated run ildiko mussing as prime minister seven weeks off to soften him from the post days earlier the country's supreme court ruled his ousting was unconstitutional it's hoped the move will end the major political crisis that has engulfed the country since october that. the father of a seven year old guatemalan migrants who died after being detained by u.s. border agents is calling for an independent investigation officials say there was
1:12 pm
no sign that jacqueline col mccann had any medical problems until i was off she was detained the u.s. customs service reported that she died of dehydration and exhaustion. and the polish remounting drama cold war has scooped the big prizes of the european film awards direct to direct public kosky accepted the awards for best film best director and best screenplay for his black and white movie you will ceremony was held in the spanish city of seville these because. members of the small church in the netherlands have been holding around the clock press services for more than six weeks now in the hope of keeping a local immigrant family from being deported the dutch law states that no one can be arrested while a religious service is underway the armenian family of five has lived in the community for the past nineteen is and their neighbors do not want to see. this church service at the bethel church in the hague has been going for weeks on
1:13 pm
end and it's not over yet the congregation hopes that prayer will protect an armenian family that's been living in the netherlands for nine years but have been told their application for asylum has been rejected it was in time as young i want to support the family and send a signal to the government that it just cannot be possible that people who have lived here for so long can simply be deported. and that as i said. only the children are willing to appear in front of the cameras the three siblings have spent most of their lives in the netherlands because of that a political compromise could be made to keep the family in the country. cope that's what home said they're going and i hope we can continue to live in the netherlands it would mean so much to us. however a political compromise of this nature is almost always rejected. because few it's
1:14 pm
who that means there are some very difficult cases where children who've been here for a long time who've grown up here are being deported to a country they simply don't know. the transfer of the candle signifies that the service is now being led by someone else there is no church sanctuary law in the netherlands but there is a legal loophole that offers the family a temporary reprieve according to dutch law as long as a church service is going on no one can be arrested without need to limit of this is not just whether we are a democratic constitutional state rather it's about emotion could call it. the church members say they're not testing the power of the state for them it's all about compassion. and it is need to hold up that many believe that we will stop once we have won we can't win it but our country can win if we handle the issue of human rights in a different way open on the many years on home to rest of them incidentally.
1:15 pm
everyone here hopes that the government will compromise on the issue and avoid deporting the family of five. and watching the news from berlin melbourne or news with my colleague come out and coming up at the top the hour in the meantime you can always check out our website at www dot com thanks so much for watching. i'm skilled at the my work not hard and in the end it's a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers were liars and. what's your story.
