shouting for an end to the use of fossil fuels. licypriya kangujam from india, was escorted away as the audience clapped. have a listen. my my generation is already the victim of a crisis and i want my generation to make action on climate change. no, do not touch me. i know what you are doing, out loud. inaudible. act now. we want a solution.

cheering and applause. 12 years old. very bold, very courageous. well, earlier licypriya kangujam told the bbc about her motive for the protest. well, today i disrupted the united nations high level session in cop28 because i am completely frustrated to see if their lack of political will of our leaders. ifirst their lack of political will of our leaders. i first attended my first cup in comp 25 in 2019 when i wasjust my first cup in comp 25 in 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 steel now and i cannot see any concrete action yet in the last five years, that is why. but i was hoping that something positive might come out, you know, in cop28 but, finally,

cop28 has become a fossil fuel summit now and it is not even a climate assignment anymore. fossilfuels are killing us climate assignment anymore. fossil fuels are killing us and yet we keep banning them. we are destroying our own mother nature, our own planet and our hope for our future.— hope for our future. licypriya kanguiam — hope for our future. licypriya kangujam speaking - hope for our future. licypriya kangujam speaking to - hope for our future. licypriya kangujam speaking to us - hope for our future. licypriya kangujam speaking to us at i hope for our future. licypriya i kangujam speaking to us at the bbc about her frustrations about how this climate summit is unfolding. live now to zeke hausfather who's a climate scientist and energy systems analyst whose research focuses on observational temperature records. hejoins us from oakland, california. really good to have you on the programme. as i was listening to her and herfrustration, it brought back memories of the other climate activist who was very young and very strong and powerful in her communications, greta thunberg and she talked

about these summits just being blah blah blah. is this what this summit will be?- blah blah blah. is this what this summit will be? there is a wor if this summit will be? there is a worry if we _ this summit will be? there is a worry if we do _ this summit will be? there is a worry if we do not _ this summit will be? there is a worry if we do not take - this summit will be? there is a worry if we do not take action i worry if we do not take action on fossil feels it is just so much dog. there is no world where we can be aiming for coal, gas deforestation anyone near the levels today and stop the world from warming. we have to get rid of fossil fuel. beating around the bush, making the oil industry happy, is going to be a recipe for even more dangerous levels of warming today and later in the century. warming today and later in the centu. ,. warming today and later in the centu . ,, ., ., century. licypriya kangu'am makes the i century. licypriya kangu'am makes the point i century. licypriya kangu'am makes the point that h century. licypriya kangu'am makes the point that a h century. licypriya kangujam makes the point that a lot l century. licypriya kangujaml makes the point that a lot of big company chiefs from all companies are at this event, and the uae is hosting this,

and the uae is hosting this, and a leader of an oil company is running it. if they are able today to come up with a communique that everyone can agree on, actually, does that make a difference that those who are big in the industry of oil, gas and coal were there and are part of it? i oil, gas and coal were there and are part of it?— and are part of it? i think it is a sign — and are part of it? i think it is a sign of— and are part of it? i think it is a sign of the _ and are part of it? i think it is a sign of the times - and are part of it? i think it is a sign of the times that i is a sign of the times that climate has become such a big political issue that even the big oil companies cannot ignore it anymore. the writing is on the world that we have to move away from fossil fuel. our oil companies going to become part of the solution or stand in the way of that? so far, they have mostly been standing in the way. mostly been standing in the wa . ~ ., . mostly been standing in the wa . . . , mostly been standing in the wa. ., mostly been standing in the way. what is your hope? do you think they _ way. what is your hope? do you think they will _ way. what is your hope? do you think they will come _ way. what is your hope? do you think they will come up - way. what is your hope? do you think they will come up with - think they will come up with something at the end of today that will have waiting about phasing out fossil fuel energy? i hope they will. or at least

face down fossil fuel. maybe 10% of what we can use today we can get away with through carbon capture and cabin removal but there is no way around dramatically reducing fossil fuels around dramatically reducing fossilfuels in around dramatically reducing fossil fuels in the next few decades if we want the world to be lower than two degrees warmer. we need to start planning on how they are going to survive and what services they will provide in a largely fossil fuel free future. fik. fossil fuel free future. 0k. zeke hausfather _ fossil fuel free future. 0k. zeke hausfather thank - fossil fuel free future. ok. zeke hausfather thank you for talking to us on the bbc were keeping across developments in dubai and i will have more in our business covered in about 20 minutes time. to the conflict in israel and gaza where fighting has continued overnight. these pictures show flares and explosions lighting up the sky over gaza as israeli forces continue their attack. supplies of food, water and medicine continue to be in extremely short supply. but israel says more humanitarian aid will enter gaza as it announced two

additional checkpoints — the nitzana and kerem shalom crossings — for examining relief supplies before dispatching them to the palestinian territory through the rafah gateway in the south. a spokesman for the israel defense forces says its military have been intensifying attacks on hamas strongholds in the gaza strip. he said the idf will focus on locating hamas strongholds in khan younis. the israeli military has issued evacuation orders in the central part of khan younis in gaza's south, urging civilians to move closer to the egyptian border. 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 hostile group.

now, the father of a young woman killed by hamas — which is classed as a terrorist organisation by the uk — during the attacks of the 7th of october, says he continues to believe in a two—state solution for israelis and palestinians. eyal waldman's daughter danielle and her boyfriend, noam, were among hundreds killed during the attack by the group — which is classed as a terrorist organisation by the uk — on the supernova music festival, near the gaza strip. our senior international correspondent, orla guerin reports from tel aviv. they were young and in love. this is danielle and her boyfriend, noam. their lives were ahead _ boyfriend, noam. their lives were ahead of _ boyfriend, noam. their lives were ahead of them. - boyfriend, noam. their lives were ahead of them. an - boyfriend, noam. their lives - were ahead of them. an amazing girl. she loved to dance, animals, she loved people. she

of the hamas is hitting is and causing casualties for israel. both sides are achieving some success but the most terrifying thing is the hospitals as the military and situation because some hospitals are under siege from israeli tanks and sources from israeli tanks and sources from hospitals in northern gaza say they are facing problems and need help because there is no water or electricity, nothing, so the same story as the who mentioned. in nothing, so the same story as the who mentioned. in terms of movin: , the who mentioned. in terms of moving. huge — the who mentioned. in terms of moving, huge numbers - the who mentioned. in terms of moving, huge numbers of i the who mentioned. in terms of| moving, huge numbers of people in khan younis are being told to go towards the egyptian border. ., ., . to go towards the egyptian border. ., ~ , ., border. talk us through the lo . istics border. talk us through the logistics of _ border. talk us through the logistics of that. _ border. talk us through the logistics of that. it - border. talk us through the logistics of that. it is i logistics of that. it is problematic and it's what israel has tried to do for awhile now to put them on this corner in order i think to put pressure on the gipson government to allow some of them to go to egypt and i think

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. 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. volodymyr zelensky has issued an appeal in washington for continued us military help. the ukrainian president rebuked republicans who are blocking aid worth millions of dollars. the white house said president biden would make further attempts to push the package through. president biden will host president zelensky at the white house later today. here's volodymyr zelensky addressing military officials in washington. putin must lose. must lose so that everyone else who sees russia's war on ukraine as his personal lectern at the so—called university of aggression, gets the message loud and clear. putin must lose. the whole world is

watching us, observing what destiny another free nation could face to live freely or to be subjugated. ukrainians have not given up and won't give up. we know what to do and you can count on ukraine and we hope justice must be able to count on you. live now to daniel treisman who's a professor of political science at the university of california, los angeles, and founding director of the russia political insight project. welcome to bbc news. what are your thoughts on how successful president zelensky will be on this trip? it president zelensky will be on this tri - ? . president zelensky will be on this tri - ? , ., ., , president zelensky will be on this tri? , ., ., , ., this trip? it is going to be an uhill this trip? it is going to be an uphill battle _ this trip? it is going to be an uphill battle because - this trip? it is going to be an uphill battle because the i uphill battle because the republicans in congress are really dark again. there was a behind—the—scenes negotiating group bipartisan members of parties who were trying to work something out and this collapsed, so senator corney is

saying nothing is probably going to get done until the new year, so it is clearly going to be difficult, but the aid is absently critical right now, so zelensky has come to meet with senators face—to—face and try to use that famous charisma to push something along.- to use that famous charisma to push something along. where is the compromise _ push something along. where is the compromise between i the compromise between republicans and democrats to get this through?— get this through? there republicans _ get this through? there republicans are - get this through? there | republicans are insisting get this through? there i republicans are insisting on various measures to do with the border security, various measures to do with the bordersecurity, doing various measures to do with the border security, doing more building of the war and tightening rules for asylum —— wall. in theory it should be possible to work something out but it's not clear how serious they are to begin with, even they are to begin with, even the demands they are making, there has not been progress, they've been holding out for they've been holding out for the maximal set of demands, so it is really quite unclear how this is going to end up in the

end. ., . this is going to end up in the end. .,, this is going to end up in the end. ., end. has political opinion changed _ end. has political opinion changed in _ end. has political opinion changed in the _ end. has political opinion changed in the us? i end. has political opinion changed in the us? withl end. has political opinion - changed in the us? with regards to ukraine. changed in the us? with regards to ukraine-— to ukraine. yes, there is been some softening _ to ukraine. yes, there is been some softening of— to ukraine. yes, there is been some softening of support i to ukraine. yes, there is been some softening of support for| some softening of support for providing aid to ukraine. in part i think because there has not been enough public discussion ofjust how crucial defending ukraine as to the general notion of defending the west and defending nato because if putin wins in ukraine sadly there is a real danger that there is a real danger that there will be a breakthrough at there will be a breakthrough at the front for the russians. if putin wins in ukraine as zelensky has said, he won't stop there. nato bordering states who will come under threat. the american public has not really engaged with that issue, i think, not really engaged with that issue, ithink, and not really engaged with that issue, i think, and as a result of support has got out of it. that does not mean that if there is a disaster in ukraine,

there is a disaster in ukraine, the public won't swing back and play in the republicans who prevented aid at this critical moment. prevented aid at this critical moment-— prevented aid at this critical moment. �* , , ., moment. and help us through the critical moment. _ moment. and help us through the critical moment. where _ moment. and help us through the critical moment. where are i moment. and help us through the critical moment. where are we i critical moment. where are we out when it comes to the war? well, the frontlines, they could use to be heavy fighting on the frontlines, there has not been much movement but there is a massive assault going on right now from the russian side and the reports are that ukrainians are actually in some ways running out of artillery. artillery ammunition and shells. so in the past we have been hoping that greater arms supplies would enable the ukrainians to break through. at the moment we have to worry that if ukrainians don't get significant additional military resources, arms and so on, they might actually fail to repel the russians and the russians might break through and if the

russians break through the lines and start taking my territory, i think we have to prepare ourselves for some pretty horrible days and horrible results.- daniel treisman. thank you very much. zelensky has secured money from the international monetary fund, something we will talk about and around five minutes in our business coverage. the white house say it's "deeply concerned" by reports that the whereabouts of the jailed russian opposition figure, alexei navalny, are no longer known by his family and associates. it comes after mr navalny�*s spokeswoman said he is no longer being held at the high—security prison to where he was moved last year, and that officials are not saying where he now is. the us state department spokesperson matthew miller says there's been no contact with alexei navalny for almost a week now.

we have communicated to the russian government that they are responsible for what happens to mr navalny while he is in their custody and they will be held accountable by the international community. we have repeatedly joined international community. we have repeatedlyjoined mr navalny�*s family, colleagues, supporters around the world in calling for his immediate release without conditions and for the russian government and its continued repression of independent voices in russia who are subject to relentless harassment and intimidation for exercising their human rights and we will continue to follow the cases of everyone in russia who has been illegally detained. after almost a decade, passengers will once again be able to catch a sleeper train between paris and berlin. the train left berlin last night and is due to arrive in paris later this morning. demand for tickets has been high, with many on the most popular routes selling out minutes after they had gone online. the journey takes 15 hours with tickets starting at around 30 euros and it will initially operate three times a week

with the goal of running every night by october 202a. interest in sleeper trains is booming once again in europe there you have it. the sleeper train. i'll be back with all the top business stories and more, as i said, on zelensky�*s mission to raise funds. see you in a moment. 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 southwestern 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, southwestern scotland, 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 to 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 spiralling 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 southwestern approaches cornwall, devon, central southern england, the winds really could be quite gusty, 40—50mph winds around coasts. on top of that, an onshore wind here around eastern scotland and the northeast 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.

orla guerin, bbc news.

live from london, this is bbc news. hello, again. president zelensky gets an economic boost from the international monetary fund in washington but will congress also agree to vital aid? not feeling the vibes — the us economy continues to pump out positive numbers but consumers appara ntly feel differently. we find out what's behind the disconnect. and, move over monaco we're off to mumbai! we check out the high end brands setting up shop to cash in on india's booming luxury market.
