a look at how european the man for some syrian products is growing like traditionally made natural so from the war torn aleppo. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us marathon the u.n. climate talks in madrid are ending with agreement on some key points but the most contentious issue still unresolved after more than 2 weeks negotiators have failed to deliver a firm agreement on how to handle carbon markets were big emitters can buy the right to pollute from countries that emit less than their fair share of delegates from almost 200 countries past declarations calling for ambitious climate protection targets a decision on rules for regulating carbon emissions is now postponed until next year. and let's listen in to what the president of coc 25 cattle you know schmidt

had to say in her closing remarks. i think of course it is sad that we didn't reach a final agreement that we were this close. i appreciate all the effort and the long hours that we've invested trying to achieve it we were so close. but as many of you know today we have taken concrete steps forward with concrete resolutions that fill us with hope hope that we are now closer to establishing carbon market rules and. a base with ecological integrity that considers the needs of everyone the implementation we so desperately need and one that respects the different requirements of the countries. we have to move ahead faster and better. louise osborne has

been covering the conference for us in madrid and she joins us for more hi louise can you explain to us what exactly has been decided and what has not. so what they basically decided was that they wanted to enhance the ambition to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in countries all over the world this was something that and geos and civil science says sorry civil society were quite happy about they wanted to see countries take that into account at the moment emissions would rise too high even with the targets that countries have said so that was one thing the carbon markets of course as we've just heard. did not work out they were here for 2 weeks trying to come to an agreement and they just weren't able to do that so it's being pushed to next year is why couldn't they find agreement on that point. there was some contentious issues around for

example double counting so the idea that a country that was buying. you know carbon credits so that they could have more would be able to count those reductions within their own reductions but then also the country that was selling those emissions might also be able to count them so they were trying to come up with stringent regulation to make sure that these carbon markets would actually have an impact and help with regards to lowering greenhouse gas emissions that's something that they just couldn't agree on and there were also countries like brazil for example who have old credits under the old system who are hoping to keep those in play and a lot of countries who are against that. we're looking at what has come out of this summit on the whole what are the reactions that you've been seeing there are activists so pleased with what's been agreed. i mean

i think activists are less upset than they were yesterday yesterday they were calling the cop an outright failure because there was a document coming through a text where countries were saying that they would just accept the targets that are already been set rather than trying to increase ambitions that was then changed today n.g.o.s said that that is definitely a positive step they're also positive about the fact that carbon markets have been moved on because they don't want to see carbon markets in the paris agreement many of them. so positive in that way but they're still very disappointed they see this as a watered down deal and they want to see concrete action taken and it's not just it's just not being done yet. you know we saw delegates negotiating for more than 2 weeks going into overtime they couldn't reach agreement as you said on the question of carbon markets it begs the question are these types of summits really the way to

drive a global action on climate change. well i think the thing that we have to remember is that these climate conferences bring together almost $200.00 nations which is something that they just wouldn't do normally it also brings the issue of climate change to the forefront of you know public view we can all see that it's happening and that is definitely important some people say that perhaps it needs to be changed slightly because obviously the negotiations that were taking place were running into the night delegates were probably not at the best when when talking about these issues maybe that needs to be done more kind of on the sidelines in bilateral agreements rather than just at these big conferences. and reporting from the u.n. climate talks there in madrid thank you so much. let's check in now and some of the

other stories making news around the world china is suspending plans to slap tariffs on u.s. goods after the 2 sides reached a truce in their long trade war beijing says it wants to promote stable relations washington as agreed to scrap planned tariffs in return for china buying more american foreign products at least one person was killed when a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit the southern philippine island of mindanao dozens of people were injured in the tremor which struck south of the popular city. buildings were also damage experts say there is no threat of a tsunami. anti-government protesters are once again rallying in hong kong police officers moved in after hundreds of demonstrators gathered in shopping malls across the city scuffles broke out between protesters and security forces several people were arrested a wave of pro-democracy demonstrations has been sweeping the city for more than 6 months the protesters are denouncing police violence and calling for more autonomy

from mainland china. yes let's go right to the scene where our correspondent mike he has been a is standing by in hong kong with the latest time the tears they can see that you're in a shopping mall there and there have been scuffles taking place what more can you tell us about what's been happening today. these shopping mall protests we've seen them several times before protesters gather in several shopping malls throughout the city each in their own neighborhood and they start chanting slogans singing anthem of the protest movement sometimes they start spray painting or vandalizing shops and that police moves in and crashes in this shopping mall where i am now police how we have moved in earlier you know nothing was destroyed here but police came in and arrested people and now the protesters have called the manager and they are discussing with him they have been discussing actually for

quite some time now with him asking him to a cone whether he has allowed to the police to come in whether he has called the police and this is still going on at the moment we're right in pre-holiday shopping season the ts is this part of the strategy of protesters. yeah we are in the holiday shopping season and apart from these points where the protesters gather it's pretty much christmas shopping like everywhere in the world but i think what is important here for the protesters is that they want to make a sign that these protests are going on to wreak sick-o. protest. made a huge victory in local district elections and there is anxiety that once people stop protesting a crackdown from the government and from beijing will follow this is why they are out today again although new not in the same numbers as we've seen before but is

this all coming as hong kong's leader kerry lamb is actually in beijing right now for talks. the 1st time she's been been there since the pro-democracy at candidates one in local elections as you were just mentioning what do you think we can expect from these talks i think it's her annual meeting in beijing it's she delivers a report to the central government and the central government discusses future policies with her of course this year this will be about the protests and what to do about them what we've heard so far from beijing from officials in beijing and from the profile gundogan of the communist party. does not lead does expect a change in her approach the protest is have a set of demands one of them has been met that's the withdrawal of this extradition bill that would have a lot extraditions to mainland china that was at the beginning of the protests but beijing does not seem to be wanting to compromise on any of the other demands

including an investigation into the police what caging house unknowns is that they want to as they want more severe laws being passed on a separate trip to them for example and national security that they want to enhance patriotic education the propaganda efforts in order to control the population all right our correspondent much as spilling over at the very latest there in hong kong thank you. now the civil war in syria has crippled a number of industries people in many parts of the country are still struggling to survive after almost 9 years of conflict but one traditional maker of all natural so finding growing demand for his products in europe. the green gold of aleppo so maid of honor and daily foils no chemicals no colors appear vegetable ingredients he shell from the chamber of industry for aleppo soap creates

a client from france had a name to sneeze of it has been imported. the on natural product for many years she's been one of the most loyal customers who has helped keep the soap industry afloat he says the war in aleppo has severely impacted so production of little before the crisis we produced about $40000.00 tonnes of soap in aleppo and the surrounding area for example in africa not adlib production is now only at 25 percent of what it used to be is the river. boiled stirred poured and cut the soap has a sensual been manufactured the same way for centuries descendants of it says that's what makes it attractive to european buyers. not it is interesting the episode is increasing especially since it's manufactured in a cattle that's what makes it special it's so that's maybe an accident with all traditions for the whole i think they really don't leave. the production of aleppo

so may have only reached 25 percent capacity but that's still a peak rate the city's industry and small and mid-sized firms are only operating at 20 percent that means 80 percent of the jobs are going unfilled large swathes of the city have been destroyed. the old souk reconstruction is even slower here one of the world's oldest marketplaces lies in ruins barely 5 percent of it has been restored. before the war started in 2011 the historic arches were a major draw for tourists especially from europe. should allow people come here from several provinces such as homes lattakia and talk to use citizens of aleppo shop here to. there are not enough customers turnover of the stacks of soap in the shops is very slow. no other product is so strongly associated with aleppo as the green soap made of olive oil and being made for oil.

unfortunately there is a lot of counterfeit soap on the market made with palm oil and artificial colors especially from turkey according to buy healing and to sneeze a bitch. to. aleppo so it's not a protected brand the chamber of industry wants to change that but has so far have little success. and how will this in the end follow the order we're trying to establish the soap as a brand both in europe and worldwide with the cia but the economic and political sanctions against syria prevent aleppo soap from being produced here of us only with our how to be a jubilee says the real aleppo soap should only come from aleppo just like genuine champagne comes from the champagne region of france. let's get a recap now of our top story here and g.w. watered it down the words in madrid talks and at the u.n. climate conference but delegates failed to agree on key issues like how to regulate carbon markets 2 days after the summit was scheduled to end negotiators did manage

to reach agreement on some of the contentious point. coming up our documentary series closeout we take a look at the future of germany's increasingly shaky governing coalition stay with us. welcome to the but is the game here or do you tell the truth trying to talk about. themselves our coverage. sorry for the. whole. let's have a good summary of the legal so you don't want to.
