required to report as much about their emissions, and the deal doesn't have a way to punish countries that don't live up to the agreement. climate scientists agree that global warming won't end because of this deal and while some are saying it falls short, it's being celebrated around the world as a momentous breakthrough. cecilia? >> alex, thank you. and we want to turn now to our other top story, to california. police tonight questioning a person of interest in a firebombings at a mosque there. investigators say it was a hobble hate possible hate crime. abc's aditi roy reporting in from the scene tonight. >> reporter: inside the blown-out door of this southern california mosque, the charred lobby, barely recognizable, after a fire authorities believe was arson and are now arresting 23-year-old carl dial for a possible hate crime. >> commercial structure fire with battalion 6-a on scene. >> reporter: the blaze erupting just past noon yesterday, after eye witnesses say a firebomb was hurled at the mosque's front door.

possibly exposed to a nurse who tested positive for tuberculosis. those infants will now undergo daily treatment with antibiotics for the next six to nine months as a precaution. >> we have to assume they might be infected and start them on medications, until we can show for sure that they're not infected. >> reporter: in addition to the babies, 368 mothers and 338 hospital employees, who came into contact with the nurse between september and november, will be monitored, but not treated unless they test positive for tb. according to officials, the nurse's annual tb checkup in september was negative. but in november, she saw her doctor for an unspecified complaint. and that doctor ordered a chest x-ray, which led to the diagnosis. the nurse has been placed on paid leave of absence. tb is transmitted through the air, by a person coughing or sneezing. >> she was not coughing up

of time that she was working. >> reporter: but the hospital decided to act just the same, and local health officials and the hospital say they have identified everyone who may have been exposed to the disease. and they're working through the weekend to contact them and begin scheduling appointments. and i should add, cecilia, doctors we spoke to said the antibiotics the newborns are getting are very safe and side effects very rare. >> tough for that hospital, but really scary for those brand new parents. >> reporter: really is. >> something else scary, if you haven't finished your christmas shopping tonight, i haven't. a warning tonight for all us procrastinators. before you click your way to checkout, here's abc's gloria riviera with the holiday scam that is causing some big holiday headaches. >> reporter: this holiday season, beware of scam artists online, waiting for you. shopping for her daughter, mindy hayes clicked on an ad in her facebook feed for ugg boots, over 80% off. >> i was like, oh, great deal. >> reporter: too great. those boots never arrived. the online retailer apparently a fake.
