barrage of flares illuminate night sky over gaza as fighting continues. rishi sunak defends his time as chancellor during the pandemic — saying he only ever acted in the best interests of the uk and all of its citizens. barbenheimer goes on. this summer's blockbusters — barbie and oppenheimer — lead the golden globe nominations. there's been a night of frantic negotiations at the cop28 climate summit in dubai after some nations

have reacted with fury to a draft agreement due to be signed in the coming hours. it includes a range of actions countries could take to reduce emissions, but makes no direct reference to �*phasing out�* fossilfuels — which had been in an earlier d raft. the eu is threatening to walk out, a representative of small island states says it would be like signing their death certificate. our climate editorjustin rowlatt has the latest. when the new draft was released, there was confusion. negotiators and journalists scrolled through the pages. the realisation slowly dawning that the agreement had changed. a landmark deal to get rid of the fossil fuel responsible for climate change had seemed within reach. now it appeared to be being snatched away. eamon ryan is one of the eu's lead climate negotiators. if the text doesn't

change, will you walk away from the deal? this text will not be acceptable. would you walk away? if this doesn't change, it will not be accepted as a text. so what went wrong? a group of oil producing nations led by saudi arabia had openly opposed the deal. they said there wasn't enough to compensate for the losses they feared they could face. you need me to change? i am ready to change. where is your support? please, we are bored of talking. we are victims. if you want me to change, you should support. we have been walking around this vast site speaking to different country groups, and it seems quite a few developing countries felt there wasn't enough in this deal for them. not enough cash to help with the switch to clean energy, for example, not enough to adapt their countries to the climate change they know is coming. the process isn't over yet.

the negotiations continue here in dubai, but the un will be anxious. if we don't get a commitment to phase out fossil fuels in this deal, does that mean this cop conference has been a failure? a central aspect, in my opinion, of the success of the cop, would be for the cop to reach a consensus on the need to phase out fossil fuels, in line with a time frame that is in line with the 1.5 degrees limit. we certainly don't have that at the moment. how is it going? is it going through the night? not much sleep for the president of cop28, then. and after almost 30 years of these summits, it appears the world is still a long way off a final deal on phasing out fossil fuels. justin rowlatt, bbc news, dubai.

a 12—year—old activist took centre stage at the cop28 climate summit as she stormed up to the front, shouting for an end to the use of fossilfuels. licypriya kangujam from india, was escorted away as the audience clapped. speech indistinct. ..crisis. .. ..my generation is already... act now!

applause earlier, i spoke to licypriya, who is in dubai, and asked her about the motive for the protest. first of all, i just want to say that courtney preston. claim that this is the most inclusive cop ever in the history. but i just want to make this clear that this is the most exclusive club in the history. and in this year... in this year. cop 28 advice you know activist has as no freedom to protest anywhere and you know they imposed certain restrictions to censor us, the climate activist, and also they give very limited space to the young people but cop

is they should remember the cop as the only platform where we the climate activists with indigenous people can express our concerns, our problems and issues to the whole world. and climate change is notjust threatening our community, it's threatening our culture and our identity, too. and this year, cop in dubai, uae, a total number of 2456 fossil fuel lobbyists were granted access to it. how is this fair? it's a sudden increase, you know, and allowing fossil fuel lobbyists into the space, into this very important, crucial space, you know, is certainly risking our our undermining goals, our undermining the very goals that we are here to pursue. and it brings us... sorry tojump in, but i think it's fair to say that going on stage was quite

an extreme method of protesting. can you just tell us why you felt, i guess, the need to do this? well, today i disrupted the united nations high level plenary session in cop 28. well, because i'm completely frustrated to see the lack of political will of our leaders. i first attended my first cop in cop25 madrid, spain, 2019, when i was just around seven years old. and it has been over five years from now, and they have been keeping our planet on fire still now. and i can't see any concrete action yet in the last five years, that's why. but i was hoping that something positive might come out, you know, in the beginning of cop 28, but. but...finally but finally cop 28 has become into

a fossil fuels summit now, and it's not even a climate summit anymore. you know, fossil fuels are killing us, and if we keep burning them, we are destroying our own mother nature, our own planet, and the hope for our future. you know, we will the leaders will listen you know, we will... do you think the leaders will listen to young people's voice, because, as you said, in the last five years, not much action has been taken. and, you know, you said cop is one of few events where people can talk about this. but do you think summits like these are now losing their effectiveness? well, i don't know if our leaders will listen to me or not, to listen to us, climate activist or not. but we will keep pursuing our goals. we will keep pushing forward our goal until the end, until we achieve our goal because we are unstoppable. another world is possible and change is possible. so they must act now soon and listen to our voices.

earlier, i spoke to henna hundal, a climate activist and student based in the us. henna was a delegate at cop28 in dubai earlier this week and has just returned to the us. i asked her for her reaction to the removal of the phasing out of fossilfuel from the draught deal. that always remained as a possibility. and i think we were always sort of fearful that that could eventually emerge in the 11th hour. but i think there was also this sense of palpable hope that knowing how much it is important to keep global average temperature below 1.5 degrees celsius, knowing the events of this past year, the record breaking heat events, the extreme weather events that have devastated communities across the globe. i think the effects of climate change have come into stark relief. and so i think there was still a latent hope headed into this conference that that type of understanding would end up undergirding a final package deal in which we truly address the core

causes of this problem. and so i think, although there is some fear that it could sort of go awry, i think that hope that we all had going into it is what carried us through the conference. and i hope we can continue to to keep even an iota of that in this 11th hour, because it's just so critical. and i think the public, you know, everyone at these conference is it's no longer something that we're all able to ignore. ijust asked licypriya the same question, but do you think some it's like, but they're starting to lose their effectiveness, or do you think they still have their purposes? i think both, and they absolutely still have their purposes, but they also may be at risk of losing their effectiveness in terms of people's patience wearing thin. so to break that down part by part, i think they're critical because oftentimes these are the only venues, the only forums when lower and middle income countries that are facing kind of the brunt of the climate crisis, but historically

did very little to contribute to the emissions that have led to it, can actually confront the heavy emitters face to face. right? and there's something absolutely powerful about that type of confrontation that undergirds these conferences. but at the same time, what matters at the end is what that confrontation produces. and if we keep sort of kicking the can down the road, as i think understandably a lot of people feel right now, then it makes people question the utility of these type of setting up these types of venues. and i think that's rather unfortunate. and briefly, before we let you go, what was your reaction to the surprise protest and her treatment? you know, i think the energy of the youth is so palpable. the frustration and the anger is so palpable. and it was particularly significant, i think, sort of her wording and the language that she used coming off of a cop conference that had the first ever health day. and in that health day, there was so much conversation about the mental health

impacts of climate change, eco anxiety, eco grief, how that's affecting youth, the wealth of research that's now being pursued around the mental health impacts of climate change on young people. and so you really hear shades of that in sort of her statement about how much this disrupts her visions for her future and her sense of what she can accomplish in her life due to no fault of her own, due to our inability to curb climate change. and so i think you hear that frustration. it's so palpable in her speech and it's so palpable at the conference in terms of how the activists view this issue. ukraine's president zelensky is in the us today — making a plea for crucial financial support in his country's battle against russia. funding worth billions of dollars is being held up by a political row in congress, with republicans demanding concessions on domestic issues first. jessica parker has the story. he's here on a rescue mission to liberate billions of dollars in defence aid for ukraine,

money that's become ensnared in arguments amongst us lawmakers. if there is anyone inspired by unresolved issues on capitol hill, it's just putin and his sick clique. overnight, a fresh wave of russian missile strikes crushed buildings in kyiv and blew craters in the earth. ukraine's war is with russia, but officials must battle sceptics in the west who ask, "what's the endgame?", after ukraine's faltering counteroffensive. it is widely seen to have not delivered hoped—for gains. what in your view went wrong? translation: indeed, for us it is very difficult today, - but it doesn't mean that victory won't be on our side. in may, everyone in our country wanted the war to end quickly. there were hopes, but they didn't come true.

but it's not a tragedy. there is now a big question of what next, even with ukraine's obvious will to endure. but days aren't without joy, even for the sons of soldiers. this boy's dad's away fighting. his mother has this plea. the russians are too much and they do have a lot of weapons, so we need more and more and more. without the support of the united states, i don't know what would happen here. people here aren't talking about giving up hope, or indeed the frontline fight, but those firm promises from some western leaders that they've been with ukraine for the long haul suddenly feel far more fragile. a commanderfrom russia's red army is sawn down from public view. also in peril this week are hopes forfresh eu economic aid and progressing membership talks, as ukraine tries

to forge a path to europe by severing the past. jessica parker, bbc news, in kyiv. intense fighting continues in the gaza strip, with the battles most intense in three places. translation: indeed, for us it is very difficult today, - injabaliya and shejaiya in the north, and khan younis, gaza's second—largest city, to the south. today, israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu described the moment as the "beginning of the end" for hamas — designated a terror organisation by the uk government. israel's defence minister has said his country has no intention of staying permanently in the gaza strip. yoav gallant said they were open to discussing who could control the palestinian territory as long as it was not a group hostile to israel. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other

stories making news. a girl accused of the murder of the transgender teenager brianna ghey in february has told a jury at manchester crown court that she heard a scream and turned round to see her co—accused stabbing her. the 16—year—old, identified only as girl x, became upset as she told the jury she saw another teenager, identified only as boy y, stabbing brianna with a knife. a teenage boy has appeared in court charged with murder after a woman was shot dead in east london. lianne gordon was killed in hackney last tuesday, and a man and a 16—year—old boy also suffered gunshot wounds. today, a 16—year—old boy was remanded in custody at barkingside magistrates�* court. a new type of street drug — which can be hundreds of times stronger than heroin — has been linked to at least 5a deaths across the uk. nitazenes are synthetic opioids, which are believed to be imported from china.

you're live with bbc news. in the uk — the covid inquiry looking into how political decisions were made during the pandemic. today, it was the turn of british prime minister rishi sunak to answer questions, as his �*eat out to help out�* scheme was said to have cost many lives and prioritised the economy over lives. my primary concern was protecting millions ofjobs of particularly vulnerable people who worked in this industry. all the data, all the evidence, all the polling, all the input from those companies suggested that unless we did something, many of those jobs would've been at risk, with devastating consequences for those people and their families. and that's why independent think tanks had recommended doing something like this, indeed other countries had done something like this because everyone was grappling with the same issue, of how to ensure that those

jobs are safeguarded because people have returned. that was the primary driver for what we were doing. also in the uk — rival groups of conservative backbench mps have been meeting to discuss tuesday's parliamentary vote on the government's latest proposals to send illegal immigrants to rwanda. some say they will back it as long as it remains unchanged, others say it must be amended. here's our political editor chris mason. it's a huge test. this is what's known as the second reading of a piece of legislation, a planned new law, the first time it's substantially debated and voted upon on the floor of the house of commons. you have to go back decades for a government to have been defeated at second reading. so it's a big moment. defeat for a government is always a big moment and those in and around the prime minister acknowledge that the numbers are tight. that said, they say they're confident that they can win and they are absolutely definitively of the view, at least tonight, that they

are not going to pull the vote. you'll have heard the advice from the european research group suggesting that the whole thing ought to be pulled. that would be admitting defeat by pulling it. but perhaps from the government's perspective, a less bad option than actually having a defeat inflicted upon them. if, though they can manage to win, well, that's better than defeat. but it means the debate would rumble on in the new year with a very narrow path for the government to try and make this law. but they make the argument the government is the only way you can possibly get anyone on a plane to rwanda before the election. the stakes are huge. the prime minister, as i mentioned a few minutes ago, persuading people at breakfast time tomorrow and will continue to do throughout the day quite a moment, whatever happens. poland s right—wing government has lost power after eight years in office.the law

and justice party lost a vote of confidence in parliament, paving the way for donald tusk, a former president of the european council, to become the country's new prime minister. our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford reports. this was the day when polish politics hit the big screen, when democracy became a crowd puller. they came to watch the final act of a party that's run poland for eight years and was about to be removed from power. so here we are watching government meeting in cinema, which is really absurd. but at the same time i feel we're kind of making history here. the prime minister strung out his last moment so long some tuned out in parliament. some tuned out. in parliament, mateusz morawiecki was asking for a vote of confidence in his government that he couldn't possibly win.

he told the chamber his party had brought poland's economic strength and sovereignty. and then it was all over. cheering this is the result this crowd wanted — they're celebrating the end of eight years of right wing government here. they have been watching this process extremely closely and now their expectations of the new government are going to be really high. this is the man they're looking to for change, the way�*s now clear for donald tusk to lead a coalition government. he used to run the european council in brussels. so he's promising better relations with europe and tackling one of the eu's big concerns — the independence of the courts here. sojudge igor tulia hopes he can finally unpack his books, hisjob and his flat secure again. he was suspended after ruling against the government and became the face

of the fight for free courts. he told me he's had hate mail and been assaulted, but that his cause really matters. translation: if there is no rule of law, no free courts? then soon there will be no free culture. free media. free elections. free people. there will be no freedom. donald tusk talks about chasing away the darkness, protecting freedom, preserving democracy. radical policy change won't be easy, but the mood here has already shifted. sarah rainsford, bbc news, warsaw. turkish football bosses have suspended all leagues after a referee was punched to the ground by a club president following a top—flight game on monday. faruk koja of the super lig club, an—kara—guju stormed on to the pitch after referee halil umut mele blew

the final whistle and punched him in the face. ankara guju fans also invaded the playing area and mele was kicked after falling to the ground. two people have been detained. the two movies went head to head in the summer — so perhaps it's no suprise that barbie and oppenheimer lead the nominations at the golden globe awards. the globes have attracted controversy in recent years due to allegations of corruption and a lack of diversity within its membership. will this year buck the trend? david sillito reports. welcome to the golden globe awards! the golden globes, the funnier, more unruly cousin to the oscars, is at the moment trying to reinvent itself after a scandal over a lack of diversity. there's also another problem for awards shows — a lack of viewers. in recent years, as the gap between critical acclaim and box office success has grown, tv audiences have turned off.

however, this year, something's changed. hi, barbie! hi, ken! barbie, the story of a plastic doll�*s existential crisis, has come to the rescue of another institution with its own existential crisis. along with another huge success... oppenheimer. barbie. oppenheimer barbie. oppenheimer. barbie. oppenheimer, the third biggest movie in the world, is onlyjust behind the number one box office hits on the list one box office hit on the list of nominations, meaning that most people in the tv audience will have at least heard of the frontrunners. and with new owners of the globes who have links to the hollywood reporter newspaper, the message is that after lockdown and actors�* strikes... hollywood is back. that's the big news today. it feels like being here for the golden globe announcements, after our strike, after everything that the town has been through this year, is that hollywood is back. they're all counting on us. there's also a new category,

honouring achievement at the box office. so even a film like super marios brothers, which was not met with universal critical acclaim, has been invited to the golden globes party. how's that for diversity? david sillito — bbc news. hello. tuesday is going to bring a lot of cloud and the skies will look rather like the picture behind me. on top of that, shower clouds are expected as well. some of the showers could be heavy, the odd crack of thunder and additionally it will be quite windy around south western parts of the uk, but it's going to be relatively mild first thing. now, the satellite picture shows fairly clear weather as we're in between weather systems, or we were during monday. but now the clear skies are giving way to this area of low pressure, which will be moving

across the uk during the course of tuesday and will continue to affect our weather at least for a time on wednesday. so the forecast then through the early hours, we will have had some rain across northern ireland, south western scotland, the north of england too rain the north of england too, rain elsewhere, but also one or two clear spells and really quite mild in the south. 11 degrees in plymouth, about that in london. but for the most part, it's about 5—8 degrees. so certainly no frost first thing. and the forecast then for tuesday. so here's that area of low pressure as it slowly barrels across the uk. here's the weather front spiraling into the centre of the low where the winds are actually really light. so any showers that circle within this low right in the middle could last for quite some time. they'll be slow—moving, very little wind to push them around. but just to the south, around the south western approaches — cornwall, devon, central southern england, the winds really could be quite gusty, 40, 50 mile an hour winds around coasts. on top of that, an onshore wind here around eastern scotland and the north east of england will make things really

wet and it could last right until wednesday. now, on wednesday, finally, that low pressure pulls away out towards the west, high pressure builds. and that means there'll be some sunshine, for example, in glasgow, liverpool and in cardiff. but the east coasts could stay quite cloudy, gloomy and feel chilly in that breeze off the north sea. here's a look at thursday and into the weekend, really. eventually, all weather fronts clear, high pressure starts to build from the southwest. but there is a lot of cloud stuck in this area of high pressure. so not necessarily all that sunny. and in fact, the northwest of the uk may continue to be brushed by weather fronts coming off the atlantic. so yes, for the majority of us, the weather settles down come friday and should stay dry and bright with a bit of luck into the weekend. but the north could be wet at times. bye— bye.

strengthening ties, president xi heads to vietnam. his first visit to the south east asian country in six years. high end brands set up shop in world's up shop in world's most populous country as india's luxury market takes off. hello and welcome to asia business report. i'm mariko oi. let's begin in vietnam

where the chinese president xi jinping is due to arrive in hanoi capital in a few hours. he's there for two days, and the visit is aimed at strengthening ties with its southern neighbour. china is already vietnam s largest investor. this year, registered investment from mainland china and hong kong combined, doubled to more than 8.billion dollars. that's compared to 20—22, when pandemic restrictions in china were still in place. but with the us pushing to grow its influence in the region, economically and of course, and imported neighbour is well and so, political relationship will
