also on the programme... on verified today, after the prime minister won a crucial vote on his rwanda plan, we've looked at whether he'll meet another pledge to eliminate the asylum backlog. and find out what we've been watching. for the first time, netflix releases its viewer data. hello, i'm matthew amroliwala. welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking for the first time, the world has a global climate agreement which calls on all countries to move away from using fossil fuels. delegates at the un climate summit in dubai reached the deal after negotiating through the night, to secure agreement from all 197 countries — and the eu — taking part. the president of cop28 sultan al—jabar said, it's an "historic" agreement that sets the world in

the right direction. but many had wanted a strongerform of words — calling for the �*phasing out�* of coal, oil and gas. our climate editorjustin rowlatt reports from dubai. we waited and we waited and then... hearing no objection, it is so decided. with the bang of a gavel, the deal was done. applause. and it got a standing ovation. so the hammer has just gone down here, and that was the fastest that an agreement text has ever been agreed. the presidency is calling this an historic agreement, but it is hedged around with questions and doubts. it calls on countries to contribute to ambitious actions to tackle climate change. now, i could do a single plate and claim to have contributed to doing the washing up,

but would you consider that i had really pulled my weight? the president of these talks was in no doubt how important it was. together we have confronted realities, and we have set the world in the right direction. there was support from many countries, especially richer nations. this is a moment where multilateralism has come together and people have taken individual interests and attempted to define the common good. that is hard. it is the hardest thing in diplomacy, it is the hardest thing in politics. and congratulations from saudi arabia, too, which had pushed to weaken the agreement. and congratulations from saudi arabia, too,

which had pushed to weaken the agreement. but many of the representatives of the country's most vulnerable to climate change, the small island states, were not in the room and they said there is a litany of loopholes here. because correction that is needed has not been secured. _ what we needed is a step change in our actions and support. - is a first for these cop conferences — a belated acknowledgement of the central challenge in the climate battle. getting rid of coal, oil and gas, and that is an important step forward. let's sit now to... nick mabey, ceo at e—3—g, an independent climate now to... change think tank. what do you make of this agreement? i think it does give huge momentum but ijust notjust moving away from

fossil fuel —— fossil fuels, but it's the first hosted in a state. there is so much effort to change the language theyjust about got there, but what about getting those countries so much flexibility about how they do it?— how they do it? there was a lot less flexibility than saudi _ how they do it? there was a lot less flexibility than saudi arabia - flexibility than saudi arabia and many otherfossilfuel flexibility than saudi arabia and many other fossil fuel states. opec rallied anybody to put back on fossil fuels.

rallied anybody to put back on fossilfuels. it's regular who won. they got a clear and unambiguous decision to move away from fossil fuels. in the raw power of whose for climate action and who is against it, the people wanting a climate action at the cop won and nobody should get off in any doubt about. are there enough stepping stones to get to where we want to be in terms of 2050? that's when the renewable energy as was to kick in, how deliverable is that? we energy as was to kick in, how deliverable is that?— energy as was to kick in, how deliverable is that? we have a ride to 2025 where _ deliverable is that? we have a ride to 2025 where componentry - deliverable is that? we have a ride to 2025 where componentry how . deliverable is that? we have a ride| to 2025 where componentry how to deliverable is that? we have a ride - to 2025 where componentry how to put for their next target. countries have been pretty clear that they've

been hit by high energy prices. they don't have the money to invest in these to new clean solutions. we need the world to step up with available finance. that's what we got to do, the uk, the us, europe, china, japan. we have to change the systems whereby we help the country. there are still works to be done, crucial works to talk about exactly, but we also made— crucial works to talk about exactly, but we also made huge step... the olitical but we also made huge step... the political momentum _ but we also made huge step... the political momentum is _ but we also made huge step... the political momentum is with - but we also made huge step... the political momentum is with these l political momentum is with these changes. the question is can we get them done in time? it's not enough to be good, they have to be good in time, and that's why we're still racing against the science to actually get them to deploy these new technologies fast enough to keep us all safe from climate change. we're living in climate change. we heard that from antonio guterres right at the start of this. a

previous president of cop20 said it was unfortunate that included dangerous talk about the large—scale use of carbon capture or the burning of transitional fuels. because of so much of that is still science and technology that's in development that we don't know for certain can do what people wanted to do. those are some of — do what people wanted to do. those are some of the _ do what people wanted to do. those are some of the language _ do what people wanted to do. those are some of the language we - do what people wanted to do. ii—iifflf are some of the language we would like to see much tighter safeguards on. we're going to win this in the marketplace. people have been trying to deploy the solutions for 30 years. they've made virtually no progress. the markets are with renewable energy. they're not with carbon capture and storage. again, language is one thing, the economy is the other. it was very clear at cop where the world is betting.

that's hopefully what's going to take us, and again, this was the starting gun for the real meat in brazil in 2025 when countries had to say how much are they going to cut emissions by 2040? that's going to determine the climate we all live with. it determine the climate we all live with. . , , ,., ~ determine the climate we all live with. . , , ,., . ., with. it really is the point. we are sto with. it really is the point. we are step taping- _ with. it really is the point. we are stop taping. we'll— with. it really is the point. we are stop taping. we'll get _ with. it really is the point. we are stop taping. we'll get more - with. it really is the point. we are | stop taping. we'll get more to the nitty—gritty of the decisions i have to be in place. nick mabey, thank you so much for your timejoining us here. israel's foreign minister has said they will continue their war with hamas with or without international support. israel has maintained the intensity of its offensive on gaza, despite growing concern. the israeli army has released this video — showing combat operations in the gaza strip. it says it's carried out more than 250 strikes over the past 24 hours. according to gaza's hamas—run health

ministry, at least 50 people were killed in those air strikes. it takes the total killed there to more than 18,600 in the past eight weeks. this is the aftermath of one strike in khan younis. witnesses say the heart of the southern city has turned into a ghost town. and the head of the palestinian refugee agency unrwa is warning that its capacity to render services in gaza is on the verge of collapse. late yesterday, the un general assembly voted overwhelmingly in favour of an immediate ceasefire in gaza. the us opposed the resolution, but presidentjoe biden told israel it is starting to lose global support. a short while ago, i spoke to our middle east correspondent hugo bachega in jerusalem. but first, i asked our gaza

correspondent rushdi abualouf who's in istanbul what he's hearing about the destruction in khan younis. very difficult situation. i was speaking half an hour ago with the palestinian local cameraman who tried to get into the heart of khan younis to find something. he was surprised. this is the main street leading to the heart of the city. the heart of the city for the last week or so, people were fleeing this area. the life of the area is the second biggest city in southeast gaza, and is completely empty and nobody there. shops were closed. i spoke this morning with a shop owner who was trying to get through the city centre, and he survived death,

as he described to me. in the last 24 hours, according to our ambassadors, about 40 people were killed in khan younis and over 150 people were injured, some of them in a very difficult situation. they are struggling to cope with the number of people and with the injuries that they are sustained, intensified in they are sustained, intensified in the area and some of the air strikes targeting some of the area near the camp. people in khan younis believe the israel target is the camp in khan younis and all the tanks are about 700 metres or less than kilometres from the target. people are worried what is happening in khan younis now is the same of what happened in gaza city before the cease—fire. some witnessed this and lived this before the cease—fire, and now they have to go again either to the eastern side of khan younis,

the western side, sorry. 0r the western side, sorry. or the border. hugo, a couple of questions for you. news in the last hour or so that he is going to israel tomorrow to meet with benjamin netanyahu. after those comments from president biden, the pressure is growing on israel in terms of the way they are conducting this war. .. , a, g. ~ this war. exactly, matthew. jake sullivan will _ this war. exactly, matthew. jake sullivan will be _ this war. exactly, matthew. jake sullivan will be meeting - this war. exactly, matthew. jake sullivan will be meeting prime l sullivan will be meeting prime minister— sullivan will be meeting prime minister netanyahu, and members of the israeli _ minister netanyahu, and members of the israeli war cabinet and gaza will he — the israeli war cabinet and gaza will be the main topic to be discussed. i think there have will be the main topic to be discussed. ithink there have been some _ discussed. ithink there have been some suggestions that they could be talking _ some suggestions that they could be talking about a possible timeline for the _ talking about a possible timeline for the israeli offensive in gaza, and this— for the israeli offensive in gaza, and this visit comes after a number of statements from senior american officials _ of statements from senior american officials about what's happening in gaza _ officials about what's happening in gaza. yesterday, the comments by president _ gaza. yesterday, the comments by president biden said that the

than doubled in the past ten years. the government says there was a 2% increase in the workforce last year. around 8 million eligible households will receive a £299 cost—of—living payment in february, to help with higher bills. the payment for people on means—tested benefits will be made directly into bank accounts without the need to make a claim. a committee of mps recently questioned whether the payments were sufficient. you're live with bbc news. let's turn to ukraine. he's been speaking in oslo today amid looming gaps of funding from the us. president zelensky said with or without international support, ukraine would fight on. if without international support, ukraine would fight on.- without international support, ukraine would fight on. if you want not to

apartments — windows blown out everywhere, some flats completely destroyed, others very badly damaged. they do what they can to try and make those buildings structurally say. there is a burnt out car over here. we're told it was actually parked near the blocks, but the force of the blast blew it over here into the playground. many residents are having to find somewhere else to stay, some have family and friends they can go to, others are going to go to a school thatis others are going to go to a school that is being provided as a temporary shelter. 0ne that is being provided as a temporary shelter. one man i spoke to, alexander, he got very visibly upset because he said he had seen some of his neighbours my three children injured bowling last night's blast —— neighbours' children. trying to unlock a $60

billion package of military aid, but so far has failed to break the deadlock. that was jessica parker. a package of "economic shock therapy" measures has been announced by argentina's new presidentjavier milei, they include weakening the value of its currency by more than 50% against the dollar. the country is battling soaring inflation, with prices rising by around 150% over the past year. it's struggling with high government debt and owes the international monetary fund $44 billion. around 40% of the population is living below the poverty line. here's our south america correspondent katy watson —— mac i've been speaking to the lead of the american research team. it's something we expected. it's very interesting from the perspective of argentines who have lived with a crisis after over a century now. the population actually elected for the first time a president who promised austerity,

who campaigned with a chance of saying he would take a chainsaw to the public sector and to the state. yesterday, the first economic measures were announced, very much catered to that pledge. it's very important to highlight this is only the beginning of what promises to be a very structural economic reform. he perhaps hasn't gone as far as he did on the campaign trail, but ministers are talking about the pain of this lasting for a few months. that is very optimistic. this is likely to hurt for quite a considerable time. ~ , ,., , ., considerable time. absolutely, and i think it's important _ considerable time. absolutely, and i think it's important to _ considerable time. absolutely, and i think it's important to know - considerable time. absolutely, and i think it's important to know that - think it's important to know that yesterday, economy minister caputo said we've been going through stagflation for ii said we've been going through stagflation for 11 years. we are asking the public to go through this time to solve the problems that have

cost rather than to try to provide some temporary medicine. he really is looking to attack the fiscal deficit, to put that in simple terms. if you're a household and you're spending more money than you're spending more money than you're making, you're constantly in debt and having to borrow, and that in effect is what argentina has been doing. it’s in effect is what argentina has been doin:. h ._ ., , doing. it's extraordinary, that they voted for this. _ doing. it's extraordinary, that they voted for this. it's _ doing. it's extraordinary, that they voted for this. it's almost - doing. it's extraordinary, that they voted for this. it's almost the - voted for this. it's almost the first time i can remember a population voting, knowing things are going to get worse. you have that that's going on with this election, but is he likely to get this through congress? he’s election, but is he likely to get this through congress?- this through congress? he's in minority position _ this through congress? he's in minority position and - this through congress? he's in minority position and i - this through congress? he's in minority position and i think. this through congress? he's in minority position and i think at this through congress? he's in - minority position and i think at the beginning as you said, the austerity measures we heard of yesterday are not as radical as what he has campaigned on. i think he's showing some moderation and pragmatism, and that will be the key, because he's

in a minority position. he needs to get other centrist parties on board if he's going to be able to deliver the green shoots of economic recovery towards the end of 2024. that's what's going on in argentina. the night agent was the most show. i spoke to indigo stafford. so many of us were tuning into the political thriller, so many of us were tuning into the politicalthriller, but so many of us were tuning into the political thriller, but it was outperforming a lot of the shows on the platform. users around the world watched night agent for 812 million hours in the first half of the year. that makes it considerably more successful than everything else. it

had a 22% viewership over the charlotte came in second place, which wasjenny in georgia, with around 655 hours viewed. the margins between jenny around 655 hours viewed. the margins betweenjenny in georgia and the other high—performance shows such as the glory, wednesday, and queen charlotte were much smaller. and the glory, wednesday, and queen charlotte were much smaller. and now we've not charlotte were much smaller. and now we've got this — charlotte were much smaller. and now we've got this data. _ charlotte were much smaller. and now we've got this data. what _ charlotte were much smaller. and now we've got this data. what do _ charlotte were much smaller. and now we've got this data. what do you - we've got this data. what do you think flows out of it for those popular shows? are they likely to attract more money? will it help creators know what's popular and therefore offer more of that sort of thing? i therefore offer more of that sort of thin ? ~ �* , therefore offer more of that sort of thin? ~ �*, ., ., thing? i think it's important to remember _ thing? i think it's important to remember that _ thing? i think it's important to remember that this _ thing? i think it's important to remember that this was - thing? i think it's important to remember that this was a - thing? i think it's important to | remember that this was a huge talking point when it came to the writer and actor strikes, which are essentially brought the film to a standstill. writers and actors to be able to demand better payment and

royalties depending on how well their movies perform. they accuse netflix and other platforms of a lack of transparency over these viewing figures. big streaming platforms took over, it was much easier for actors platforms took over, it was much easierfor actors and platforms took over, it was much easier for actors and writers to access these viewing figures and therefore demand higher payment. aha, therefore demand higher payment. a final quick thought, because it breaks down 100 million hours of viewing time. that is extraordinary. the company says it's notjust about viewing hours alone, it's about whether it thrilled the audience. that was the quote. how did the measure that date to? it’s that was the quote. how did the measure that date to? it's important to remember — measure that date to? it's important to remember they _ measure that date to? it's important to remember they are _ measure that date to? it's important to remember they are just _ measure that date to? it's important | to remember they are just measuring this with the amount of power reviewed. they actually said that's not the only way to measure how much people are viewing shows. i think

there's all different ways to measure it. interesting to see some of these highly publicised shows maybe not doing as well as we thought they were — for example the harry and meghan show. more thought they were - for example the harry and meghan show.— thought they were - for example the harry and meghan show. more of the headhnes harry and meghan show. more of the headlines just _ harry and meghan show. more of the headlines just a _ harry and meghan show. more of the headlinesjust a moment _ harry and meghan show. more of the headlinesjust a moment or - harry and meghan show. more of the headlinesjust a moment or two. - to eastern parts of england, that's moving away. the next weather system is coming in from the atlantic. in between the two, we did have some sunshine earlier on. where we have the clear skies, there is a risk temperatures could fall just below freezing skies, there is a risk temperatures could falljust below freezing in places. all that cloud will come in from the atlantic. it should turn

back to rain later on in the night. these are the numbers by first thing thursday. by this time, rain will clear away. we will see some further patchy, light rain and drizzle affecting england and wales, and that cloudy damp weather could continue about the southeast. a few showers for northern ireland and scotland. if anything, temperatures are going to be a degree or two higher than what we had today. one weather system moves away, we look to see another looking in from the atlantic into friday. this is going to focus more on the northwest of the uk. elsewhere, it should be dry and a lot more sunshine across england and wales, where the winds will be later. temperatures at 7 or

8 degrees across eastern parts. this mild atlantic air will come rushing in across the whole of the country in across the whole of the country in time for the start of the weekend. we've got colder air to the north of the weather front which may move southwards on sunday to bring some patchy rain, but on saturday, it's staying to the north of us. just bringing the chance of some rain in the north of scotland. it looks like it's going to be windy here, but there won't be as much sunshine for england and wales.
