After two weeks of talks and two years of work consensus was finally reached tonight on an international rulebook to tackle Climate Change. Nearly 200 countries overcame political divisions to support the implementation of the 2015 Paris Agreement. That deal aimed to limit a rise in average world temperatures to well below two degrees celsius compared to pre industrial times. Disagreements over the specifics of the plan caused the announcement to be delayed by more than 30 hours, but the conference president , michal kurtyka, said the common aims of all the parties had ultimately won out. An ambition that will ensure our children and their children look back at our legacy and recognise that their parents and grandparents took the right decisions at important juncture is like took the right decisions at importantjuncture is like the one that we are facing today junctures. Applause. For more on this heres our science editor david shukman. This is what its all about. Gases released into the air that heat the planet. And after some long, difficult arguments, the world has inched towards a deal for how to reduce them. To try to avoid the risks of Dangerous Levels of warming in future. The talks at katowice in poland saw delegates from nearly 200 countries haggling over rules for how to tackle Climate Change. A slow process, but eventually a deal was done. The polish official chairing the talks was incredibly relieved. He was urged to take a bow. But there are questions about what has actually been achieved. The big challenge is that many countries, including poland, rely on highly polluting fuels like coal. Thousands ofjobs depend on them. Some campaigners say a few governments drag their feet. But others are pleased to have got this far. We have seen countries come together. They have responded to the science. They havent done enough but they have done whats possible here. They have lent in, they have agreed some rules and they have set themselves a job to go home and do more and work out what theyre going to do engaging with their citizens, their businesses, their investors, to say, how can we take more Climate Action . The hope is for a transition to cleaner forms of energy, like solar power. The deal in poland may encourage that. The world is responding to the threat of Global Warming but not nearly with the speed that Scientists Say is needed. Just after the marathon talks ended i spoke to the eus energy and Climate Action commissioner miguel arias canete. He began by explaining what was in the agreement. What we have agreed to day is the Work Programme of the Paris Agreement, the rule book, the system of how we are going to prevent emissions, to monitor them, and to verify them, so that we can know exactly where we are regarding what the science recommends as pablos to fight Global Warming. We also have agreed the system for a globalist ta ke agreed the system for a globalist take if there is a distance between the policy, we are first in the European Union, first in the world. And the policies we have in Different Countries to achieve stopping Global Warming well below two degrees. Looking at your twitter feed right now and it is giving us a bit of a behind the scenes insight. One of your pictures as how we have solved the last outstanding issues. What were the key sticking points for you and your team is . Well, the last issue was the articles of the Paris Agreement, which relates to markets, how we can establish Environmental Integrity and the mechanisms, elements. And that was complicated because brazil had outstanding positions that they didnt accept was on the table. What we decided was very contentious, it is to leave it open to the next conference of the parties. We did not want to have a system that could not want to have a system that could not guarantee Environmental Integrity. The decision was to postpone the design of this system until the next conference of the parties. It was very complicated and took lots of negotiation. We were able to get the rest of the elements. We are able to personalise the Paris Agreement. In your earlier a nswer the Paris Agreement. In your earlier answer you said monitor, verify, ta ke answer you said monitor, verify, take stock, but how do you police these policies in practical terms . In the past we had a system, with developing countries, only have limited its obligations to communicate what they are doing. Now we have an enhanced one that all countries will have similar rules. With flex abilities for those countries who dont have sufficient capacity and the Capacity Building for them flexibility. We have a system that will let us know the effo rts system that will let us know the efforts and the policies of the different parties put into action to the bilby commitments. And also with a globalist uptake we will assess whether added together it places the world in a pathway to limit Global Warming to levels science as we need to. What we have done to date is to make the Paris Agreement operational and now be parties happened was is on one side and is put together all the necessary transparency systems to assess what is the real situation that we are doing to fight Global Warming today. That we are doing to fight Global Warming today. That was miguel arias canete, speaking to me after that climate deal was reached. Lets get some of the days other news. At least 20 people, including a dozen children, have reportedly been killed in an air strike in the eastern afghanistan province of kunar.

The hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is facing fresh allegations of sexual assault. The latest accuser, an actress who has not been named, claims the Film Producer attacked and assaulted her during a meeting at his offices in 2013. The lawsuit alleges that when the woman rejected his advances, mr weinstein bragged about sleeping with Jennifer Lawrence and being responsible for her winning an oscar. Ms lawrence issued a statement refuting the claims. Mr weinstein denies all allegations of non consensual sex. Officials in brazil say a spiritual healer wanted on charges of sexual abuse against hundreds of women is on the run from authorities.

There have been clashes in paris between police and the yellow vest protestors during a fifth weekend of Anti Government demonstrations. In total, 66,000 protesters were on the streets across france. That number is significantly lower than before. Earlier this week, president macron announced a series of concessions, to try to defuse the crisis. Lucy williamson reports from paris. The tactics were the same as always but the tension here has waned. The number of protesters in paris today less than half of that of last weekend. There are far fewer people gathering here in paris today but there are still a few confrontations between protesters and police, like here on the champs elysees. I think the Security Forces will be hoping this is the last final stand of the hard core. This was a test of whether president macrons concessions this week have worked. Ten billion euros to help those on the lowest incomes. Not enough for some. Translation the president is offering us peanuts. We are not monkeys he can throw nuts at. Were human beings. The violence of previous demonstrations in paris along with the governments concessions and the impact of a terrorist attack in strasbourg this week have all helped dissuade protesters. But protest sites around the country are settling in for christmas and it is notjust the troublemakers left behind. At la ciotat tollgate 45 minutes outside marseille, the demands are no longerjust economic they are also about democracy and access to power. Translation we want a second french revolution. We are going to show all of europe that the people do have power. President macron says Long Term Solutions to this crisis lie at the local level and that he wants to meet mayors, region by region, to hear their concerns. Translation president macron has ignored us from the moment he came to power. And now all of a sudden he wants us to come to his rescue. Can i be honest with you . The idea of a National Consultation is absolute rubbish. Everything will carry onjust like before. The clashes here seem to be losing some momentum, but the frustration that sparked them hasnt been resolved. Theres a part of france that feels precarious and invisible. For the past few weeks it was visible to all. Lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. The bbcs olga ivshina was reporting in paris when she was caught up in the middle of a scuffle between the police and the protestors. You see derek carr stun grenades, guns, tear gas.

Ukraines president has hailed the creation of an independent Orthodox Church as the final step in independence from russia. After decades of negotiations, an Historic Council of orthodox bishops in kiev has created a new ukrainian church. The russian Orthodox Church dismissed the Bishops Council as illegitimate and says the move means absolutely nothing. Jonah fisher reports. This is a religious story, but with ukraine and russia politics is never far away. For ukraines president , petro poroshenko, this was a chance to notch up a much needed win over the countrys much larger and more powerful neighbour. To break away from the control of the russian Orthodox Church and, 27 years after independence, give ukraine its own internationally recognised church. For that to happen me too branches of ukrainian orthodoxy had to unite. And with the faithful waiting outside in the cold they did just that. Electing a new leaderfor a new unified church. This is him. He is accompanied by a jubilant president poroshenko. Translation what is this new church, it is a Church Without vladimir putin. What is this church . It isa vladimir putin. What is this church . It is a Church Without a prayer for the russian authorities and the Russian Troops. Because russian authorities and Russian Troops are killing ukrainians. But this church is with god and with ukraine. One of the most thorny issues lying ahead will be the fate of the many parishes and monasteries that the russian Orthodox Church still controls in ukraine. There are plenty of people who think they should now be handed over to the new ukrainian church. Russia has already made its displeasure clear and has cut its ties with the ecumenical patriarch, the head of the global Orthodox Church in constantinople. Jonah fisher, bbc news, kiev. Theres to be another change in president trumps administration. Hes announced, via twitter, that his interior minister ryan zinke will be leaving his post.

Dan johnson has more from washington. He isa he is a game hunter who swaggered into washington on horseback. But there were protests as the sort of millions of acres the drilling and miners, rolling back Environmental Protection and supporting the president s Energy Policy and putting fossil fuels first. Time and again he visited areas devastated by fire but never really accepted Climate Change could be to blame. The temperatures are rising and the season the temperatures are rising and the season getting longer but we have to look at managing the forests. Is integrity came under question. His wife was using government cars. Was criticised by that of the chartering a plan to get into a hockey game taxpayers pick up the 12,000 bill. Conflict of interest in some of the deals he oversaw and concerns he was too close to lobbyists. The president s support was ebbing away. Now he becomes the latest in a long line of leading figures to leave the trump top team. There were still no permanent replacement forjohn kelly who will also go at the end of this month. The search can recommence in the new year. Over 25 departures since january 2017, more than double the rate of barack obama first two yea rs. The rate of barack obama first two years.

Scuffles on the streets of paris and other french cities as yellow vest protesters take to the streets for the fifth saturday in a row. One of theresa mays closest colleagues has appealed to mps across the political divide to forge a consensus over brexit, acknowledging that the Prime Ministers deal for leaving the European Union might not be approved by parliament. Her comments follow another difficult eu summit for theresa may, in which she failed to win concessions that might have made her withdrawal deal acceptable to mps. Heres our political correspondent, chris mason. Parliament stares at gridlock. Cobbling together a majority to endorse anything looks incredibly difficult, and downing street has studiously avoided any public discussion of a plan b, what happens if, when, the Prime Ministers plan is rejected. But writing in the daily mail, amber rudd says that brexit is in danger of getting stuck, and while supporting theresa mays deal, advocates assembling a coalition, potentially reaching out to opposition parties, to avoid what she calls the rocks of no deal. Amber rudd proposes in her article a series of commons votes to test support for a range of possible outcomes but one conservative brexiteer mp told me you had to be on a mood altering substance to believe persuading labour mps was a viable way forward. And even within theresa mays cabinet theres differing views about what plan b should or should not look like. And others are making the case for plan a still, albeit plan a with tweaks not yet secured. Its very tempting after a week like weve had, which has not been a good week, to try and reach for other radical solutions. I still think if you look at all of this, when the dust has settled, the only way that were going to get through the house of commons and to give the british people the brexit that they voted for, is to have a version of the deal that the government has negotiated. One former minister who resigned last month to call for another referendum says the government should get a move on and let mps have their say. Ive got absolutely no doubt that if the vote is deferred again when we come back on monday, that very serious conversations will be had by members of the cabinet and members of parliament asking, well, what is the strategy . Its simply unacceptable to run out the clock and face the country with the prospect of being timed out. The country has arrived at a moment of extraordinary jeopardy, with no one in sole control of events and no one who knows precisely what will happen next. Chris mason, bbc news. Sri lankas former president has resigned from his disputed recent appointment as Prime Minister. The country has been in political gridlock for nearly two months since Mahinda Rajapa ksa was appointed Prime Minister by the president. Mr rajapaksa was unable to command a majority in parliament.
