climate talks. i thank you very much and did yes, i'm just i'm the night of this morning and it was excel steve moment was i to was a big de romantic fight and a ah, well we may not. um, but you do what do you want in totality, but the fact that we were able to secure the, an agreement on loss or damage, which was a demand for us is quite a big story. so you say was a bad all, but at least there was some success. a deal was finally reached, where richer nations have pledged to pay, developing nations for the damage that they've done. how significant is this compensation deal for countries of the global south?

ah, well, you know, this was sick, you end up really and me a breakdown of the negotiations because there are very strong positions for some northern countries. well, causing the problem of play materials on them for, for, for, for that reason. you know, we have been fighting for the is just some kind of the petition for, for, for the damages caused by climate change. and a, even now, even if we have, we have the facility, we have a decision on the, on the establishment of their funding mechanism. it is not yet of us because i'm and our solution to the those who us in the british an isa police war. don't us deliberations? we have a long way to go. we have been to france,

we have committed this amount of money. so to start, we've already saw a process of putting together the framework betty saffo mattress. you should know going to be, does business doubly so decimal minute being to be job week to be a company. so it's our process. we do maybe a call. we have seen this process, the process if i'm wrong, and the, some of us believe that these are some of been delayed. got these does so. so in this past of the developing countries and as of the civil society, there was an antique um, went out from the pen african climate justice alliance. thank you so much for being a d w. thank you very much. human rights groups are reporting that iran is carrying out a major crackdown in the kurdish town of muhammad. the town has seen intense anti regime protests in recent days with people staging siddons and setting

a barricades ah, in video circulating a social media over night, screaming and gun fire can be heard. another clip shared by an exiled kurdish opposition party claims to show plainclothes. members of the revolutionary guard firing into the sky ah, of his sail tricity has been caught and there are unconfirmed reports of protesters being killed or wounded. come, ron martinez, a senior lecturer at the university of sussex where he teaches modern history of the middle east and theories of international relations. he told us more about the situation in mama well, all the last 34 days, my thought was basically largely at the hands of the people protest. those were on the street. many of the institutions of the government were no longer operational.

the city was in a general strike of these period multiple times, barrios of protest who had been killed tending to further protests. so the c runners had kind of liberated itself from the government if you liked athletes you in the day. so last night, news came in that the government forces from multiple directions entering the city with heavy weapons with, with vehicles and so on. and as you can also show, there were sounds of shooting throughout the night. so the city seems to be completely militarized since last night and there was, you know, trying to completely silence the protest is, but supports come in that despite the heavy presence and shooting and killing of the protest as they were again on the streets this afternoon. this evening and my boss, but also in the cities of credit reports coming,

coming in all of the people being shot by the government security forces and also members of the gods to the united states. now where 5 people have been killed and 18 others injured in a shooting at an algebra, take unite club in the city of colorado springs. a suspect is in custody. police got the late night call from the club q as party goers gather there to mark the transgender dave remembrance, which honors the memory of those killed and transfer because islands. a statement from the club. thank customers who subdued the gunman. for more on the story were joined now by the w. washington bureau chief in his paul. so illness, what else is known about last night's shooting? we just learned from the police, sir. the press conference. the gunman was 22 years old. he came in with

a long rifle, and as you just said, marianna, it was really because of at least 2 brave men who brought him down. otherwise, he might have killed many more than these 5 people and injured more than these 18 people. we know of at the moment. all in a tell us about where this happened, what is colorado springs like? so colorado, the state of colorado, is a very liberal state. they just elected a open lea, a gay governor. but colorado springs is one of these very conservative pockets, or it's the home of the u. s. air force academy and also the home of the headquarters of a national evan, delicate group, a named focus on the family. so in colorado springs in the year 2015, a gunman also got into a abortion clinic, and a killed

a 3 and injured 9 people. so one could actually say a colorado springs kind of is the nucleus of the cultural war going on here in the united states where trends are riots. well g, b t, q writes really are at stake. now in, as i know that you covered the pulse night club shooting in orlando, and that was the deadliest attack on algae, the ticket venue in the u. s. what does another event like this mean for the community? i just spoke to survivors of the pulse or shooting which happened in florida as 6 years ago. and you know, events like that today, obviously trigger of the memory and brandon bulls, one of the survivors told me that it is never over. they can celebrate, for example, 4th of july, because of the, of the fireworks happening there. they're basically the survivors of these mass shootings have to hide an,
