today in kata with fans arriving a controversial event is beginning to resemble a normal tournament for shop. ah, a warm welcome. 12 years round the world, michael ok. some $200.00 countries have signed onto a storage deal to pay for the effects of climate change. the marathon cop 27 climate talks ended with a deal to create a fund to compensate poor countries for damage. they have already suffered from climate change. the fund covers what negotiators call loss and damage, but many delegates are worried about what the deal doesn't include. it's a historic deal with ramifications for the planet thrashed out by exhausted
1:02 pm
delegates. after weeks of negotiation at the climate talks in egypt did a urine for our machine. we established the 1st ever the case with form for awesome damage of home that has been so long in the making. the funds would pay more money to poor nations, which have already experienced destruction and death from droughts and extreme storms made more frequent and intense by global warming. and these poor countries have contributed the least to emissions of the gases that are causing temperatures to increase weld wide like pakistan where floods killed many hundreds this year. the new fund is the result of years of campaigning by developing nations. we have struggled for 30 years on the spot and to day in shambles. shock this journey has achieved its 1st
1:03 pm
positive milestone. the establishment of a fund is not about dispensing charity. it is clearly a down payment on the longer investment in our joint futures. it is a down payment and an investment in climate justice. but as some delegates celebrate, crucial details is still not decided like exactly which rich countries will pay in to the fund and how big those payments could be. and there was little progress on tougher cuts to carbon emissions. the gas is produced by burning fossil fuels that a driving climate change. big historic emitters of carbon dioxide won't the even previous pledges to cut emissions are at risk. this is the make or break decade. but what we have in front of us is not enough of
1:04 pm
a step forward for people in planet. it does not bring enough added efforts from major emitters to increase and accelerate their emissions cause it does not bring a higher degree of confidence that we will achieve the commitments made on the bow, screams and in glasgow last year. it does not address the yawning gap between climate science and our climbed policies. many delegates left the conference voicing the same concern. that time is running out. d w climate report to adjutant around and joins be now. so. rich countries have agreed to pay poor nations for the damage they've done reasonable enough. yes. what's happened is that the rich countries disproportionately burn fossil fuels heat the planet made everything from heat waves, hotter, tropical fi claims, and coastal sub stronger. they're saying that they'll now create a fund into it,
1:05 pm
they'll pay some of the damage, pay for some of the damage is being cause we move beyond just talking about how to clean up energy systems or how to adapt to the extreme. whether by building high a, c will things like that. and now it's a big argument about actually both who pay for home that's been lost or a life that's been lost even. so you know, a lot of talk at this summit about that specific issue. but did world leaders take any steps to prevent or minimize the continuation of climate change? yes, so that's where it gets tricky. the final caught $27.00 agreement said that we need to take immediate deep, rapid and sustained reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. but it doesn't really mention the fuel that we burn to create those gases and heat the planet. so that one mention of coal, which is caveat about phasing it down. and there's no mentions of oil or gas. now this is a big, this was a big tension point because countries like india. but you of the collective block,
1:06 pm
they push to include language about phasing down all of the fossil fuels. because ultimately, what's in line with the science in terms of how to actually stop the planet heating . and there was pushback from several of big oil producing nations and k to countries like saudi arabia, russia, iran. so as you reflect on this summit, is there any room for optimism? in the last 2 weeks we saw some stronger announcements of action plans to cut emissions. there was some extra pulls of money agreed on to help people adapter climate change and to help them transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. there was also a bigger focus on methane, which is planet warming gas. that's 8 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over 20 a period. and so if we can fix that, which is quite cheap to do, then we can hopefully avoid some of the worth levels of warming that we're expecting over the next couple of decades. but overall, well actually the 3rd just one more positive note with the there was
1:07 pm
a line in the document that stressed which government signed up to that stressing that the energy crisis in the covert pandemic should not be used as a pretext for back tracking back sliding or de prioritizing climate action. that's quite powerful statement and if journalists and civil society hold politicians to account for that. and we can see that in the short term, they've already agreed to not use covered the kind of car geopolitical situation. they call it as an excuse to have week climate policy understood as agit new engine . many, many thanks rights groups are reporting that iran is carrying out a major crackdown in the kurdish town of my hub. but the town has seen intense anti regime protesting recent days. with people staging since and setting up barricade ah,
