this is bbc news, i'm annita mcveigh with the headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. fifa's president hits back at western critics of qatar's human rights record, accusing them of hypocrisy. i think for what we europeans have been doing in the last 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons. the final details of a deal to help the poorest countries worst affected by climate change are being thrashed out at un climate talks in egypt. rishi sunak offers ukraine an extra 60 million dollars�* of military aid to help counter aerial attacks, in his first visit to kyiv since taking office.

hello and welcome to bbc news. the president of fifa has called western countries "hypocrites" for criticising qatar's record on human rights. gianni infantino was speaking ahead of the men's football world cup which kicks off tomorrow — and it comes after intense scrutiny from the west in the build up to the tournament, over issues including its treatment of women, gay rights and conditions for migrant workers.here�*s our sports editor dan roan. despite everything, qatar's determined to put on a show. a celebration to mark the opening of the fan park in doha tonight on the eve of the world cup. but fifa has come under fire for bringing the event

here amid human rights concerns. and today, the game's most powerful figure turned on his critics in an extraordinary speech. today, i feel gay. today i feel disabled. today i feel a migrant worker because i know what it means to be discriminated. but that was just the start. infantino then appearing to liken his own experience as a redheaded child of immigrants in switzerland to the plight of gay people in the middle east. as a foreigner in a foreign country, as a child at school i was bullied because i had red hair. qatar's been under mounting scrutiny, especially in europe, over its treatment of migrant workers and the lgbt community. and infantino then turned on the critics.

i think for what we europeans have been doing in the last 3000 years around the world, we should be apologizing for the next 3000 years before starting to give moral lessons. it's just hypocrisy. isn't it hypocritical to, on the one hand, say that fifa stands for equality and non—discrimination while at the same time supporting an event in a country which has discriminatory laws? the only weapon that we have is this, is the ball. and we have to try with this to engage. infantino praised qatar for recent labour reforms and said europe was in no position to criticize on migrant rights. but his comments have been condemned. i find it jaw dropping to listen to. it really felt like it was a way to try and dismiss very legitimate human rights criticisms, to try and treat them as culture war issues rather than universal values that fifa has committed to uphold. as for fifa's late u—turn with beer

banned at world cup stadia, infantino was no less defiant. i think personally, if for three hours a day you cannot drink a beer, you will survive. well, gianni infantino intended just then to hit back against this tournament's critics amid a barrage of negative headlines in the buildup. but after that remarkable hour and a half long press conference on the eve of this tournament, once again, the focus is away from the football. 0rganisers hope tonight's festivities will kick start the excitement. but right now, this world cup seems more divisive than ever. dan roan, bbc news, doha. veteran sports journalist and author mihir bose gave me his reaction to fifa boss's comments. extraordinary. i don't know who

wrote it for him, but whoever was the scriptwriter, he or she should be shot, because i must say, i've covered several fifa world cups going back more than 30 years, and i knew many of the presidents. i cannot believe anybody is making a speech like this. actually what he has done is trivialise the whole issue and insulted a lot of immigrants. he spoke about the fact that he had red hair and therefore he was bullied. welcome he could have changed the colour of his hair, he shouldn't have been bullied, but he shouldn't have been bullied, but he could have changed the colour of his hair. people cannot change the colour of their skin. does he know that? what they suffer from the colour of their skin, myself, and immigrant, it is tremendous. so for him to equate himself with the migraines who have been to qatar i think is really quite shocking. then to talk about, you know, how all

this doesn't matter. you know, this is part of fifa's problem. here is a man who went to bali on tuesday to the lecture that she 20 world leaders and how football can bring peace in ukraine, this is a man i think who has forgotten what the world cup is. fifa is not a mini state. he is not the president of the country. he's the president of a sports body holding a tournament, a wonderful tournament that could be magical through the activities of the people on the field of play. but he is just an administrator. and he isjust an administrator. and i think he's forgotten that. you have said today that _ think he's forgotten that. you have said today that you _ think he's forgotten that. you have said today that you hate _ think he's forgotten that. you have said today that you hate the - think he's forgotten that. you have said today that you hate the idea . think he's forgotten that. you have | said today that you hate the idea of the world cup taking place in qatar, but you will still watch. do you still feel the same after listening to him tonight?— to him tonight? yes, i will still watch the _ to him tonight? yes, i will still watch the football, _ to him tonight? yes, i will still watch the football, because i to him tonight? yes, i will still| watch the football, because the football could be magical. the football could be magical. the football could be magical. the football could take me to another world. i used to have my dreams, and watching great players and watching

my favourite team, i will be able to relive those dreams, of course if my team comes up to expectations, they often make me feel very sad and miserable, but if they do, it will be wonderful. you know, there is a beauty of the game. you see, sport is one thing that can bring people together. you do not have to know where enough spanish to appreciate that a messi is a great footballer. and people who don't know english don't have to know the language to wonder how wonderful a striker harry kane is. so that is the way that football can bridge people, but the people who run football use that and exploit it to try to create a position for themselves which they don't deserve and which really, they have no authority to exercise. hopes are rising that a deal will be reached at the un's climate summit in egypt — which would see wealthy nations compensate developing states for the damage caused by climate change. talks have run into an extra day, as nearly 200 countries struggle to agree the next steps to tackle global warming. 0ur climate correspondent

justin rowlatt is in sharm el—shiekh and sent this report. it has been a day of bargaining and brinkmanship here in egypt. the european union said it would walk away from the talks if the final deal doesn't have ambitious targets for cutting emissions. we want a good decision. but it's better to have no decision than a bad decision. we still believe a good decision is within reach, but all partners will have to work very hard to make that possible. developing countries have been demanding a fund to help pay for the loss and damage climate change is already wreaking in vulnerable countries. like the terrible floods in pakistan this summer. as workmen began to dismantle the now empty pavilions, talks on this remained deadlocked, too.

then late afternoon, there was news of a breakthrough. developed nations had agreed to the demands. i am pleased and relieved because this is, for the first time, after 30 years, that will bring into an institution what we have been calling for. and i think this is a milestone and particularly symbolic because it's happening in africa. the hope was agreement on loss and damage would break the logjam. but as the sun set over the conference centre tonight, a final agreement remained elusive. developed countries and developing nations need to come to some kind of agreement on how we're going to up ambition to make sure we cut our greenhouse gas emissions to be in line with the 1.5 agreed temperature goal. all eyes are now on room two. that is where the final negotiations are taking place. well those talks in egypt are still going on and i caught up withjustin in sharm el—sheikh earlier to get the latest.

i wish i could give you a clear answer on that. we thought that the deal that seems to have been done on loss and damage would break the logjam of these negotiations and open up the opportunity for stronger language and cutting emissions, more ambition for driving down emissions in the future, tackling climate change itself. that does not seem to have materialised yet here in egypt. earlier on people were saying that various nations were introducing issues that were very close to their heart weren't necessarily important to the negotiations themselves. a while back, we heard about that could be reopening the loss and damage talks. that seems to have gone away now. we are still in a position, you probably did this when you were in glasgow, as people leave the room, we ask how it is going. the norwegian environment minister, the new zealand minister, whoever, we ask them how it is going.

they now say that this is beginning to look like it is going to take a really long time. it is midnight now here in egypt and we are talking about this running through into the early hours. the egyptians have said they wanted done tonight. so it will go on into the night. we probably won't see the final agreement coming forward until the morning. what level of frustration are you sensing from the countries like the maldives, for example, here saying the worst effects of climate change? last year, if you could have bottled the ambition that was in the room, you would have thought that something would have happened by this time, by cop27, yet here we are still trying to pin down the details of the deal. let's be clear, the understanding is that the deal has been done, right, so the loss and damage deal has been done and now we are talking about other stuff, talking about what they call mitigation cutting carbon emissions. the deal has been done.

if that deal holds as these talks continue into the night, we are talking about an historic deal on loss and damage. the developing nations have wanted this, notjust last year in glasgow, they wanted it back when they first began this talks 30 years ago. yet president macron is saying this deal is insufficient to meet the challenges. yeah, to meet the problem of climate change. at the moment, the deal on cutting emissions isn't good enough, but on loss and damage, the maldives, he mentioned, are delighted by this. loss and damage wasn't even on the agenda three weeks before these talks began, despite having been something that has been talked by developing

nations for 30 years. not only did it get on the agenda, by hook or by crook, this has been a very chaotic conference, by hook or by crook the egyptians, we are not there yet, but they look like they might have got it through. if they have, whatever else has happened at this conference, that would be an historic thing in terms of climate action on climate justice. it also has interesting funding arrangements that might open up opportunities for new flows of funds and, for example from the world bank and the imf, something that hasn't happened in the past. it is a very innovative and interesting deal, if it goes through, and that is what we are waiting for, to see if it will go through here in sharm el—sheikh. rishi sunak has made a surprise trip to ukraine, his first since becoming the uk prime minister. during his visit to kyiv he held talks with president zelensky — and promised the uk would continue to support ukraine as they face further attacks from russia. he also announced 50 millon pounds in defence aid. 0ur political correspondent

ione wells reports. a warm reception on a snowy day in kyiv. very good to see you. chatter. i've got my coat for later. in footage released by the ukrainian government and number 10, rishi sunak can be seen laying flowers at a memorial for victims of the war. he met with emergency responders and announced a new package of air defence to help protect ukrainian civilians and infrastructure from russian air strikes. ukraine has faced months of intense russian aerial attacks. forces there say there have been 148 missile strikes on critical services, leaving 10 million people without power. the prime minister's main message was to confirm the uk's support for the country would continue. as prime minister of the united kingdom, i'm proud of how we stood with you from the very beginning. and i am here today to say that the united kingdom

will continue to stand with you. we will stand with you until ukraine has won the peace and security it needs and deserves. and then we will stand with you as you rebuild your great country. thank you so much, rishi. president zelensky thanked the prime ministerfor supporting his country and the dialogue they had. his visit comes after a difficult week for him and the chancellor, who announced a range of tax rises and public spending squeezes. the uk's foreign aid and defence budgets won't go up as planned yet until the economic situation improves. ministers blamed the war in ukraine for the dire economic situation in the uk. 0pposition parties argue political decisions played a role too. there is a clear desire to avoid public fatigue with the conflict and demonstrate the positives of supporting ukraine, an easier message to sell, perhaps, than the economic headlines they face back home.

ione wells, bbc news. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: we have a special report from lebanon on the young men joining the islamic state terror group as a way to escape worsening poverty. benazir bhutto has claimed victory in pakistan's general election and she's asked pakistan's president to name her as prime minister. jackson's been released on bail of $3 million after turning himself in to police in santa barbara. it was the biggest demonstration so far of the first growing european antinuclear movement. the south african government has announced that it's opening - the country's remaining whites—only beaches to people of all races. -

climate change research, she also gave a talk to world leaders when she was in sharm el—sheikh. she told me about hers — and other youth organisation's — goals at this summit: youth climate activists have really been pushing for the creation of the beginning of copper, and i think that this drop language is very encouraging, so i do hope to see it in the final text that these countries, it to creating a loss and damage fund, particularly because countries like the us really have an obligation to foreign nations to make sure we are providing adequate finance. ~ , ,., ~' make sure we are providing adequate finance. ~ , ., ., ., finance. when i spoke to a former resident finance. when i spoke to a former president of _ finance. when i spoke to a former president of the _ finance. when i spoke to a former president of the maldives - finance. when i spoke to a former president of the maldives a - finance. when i spoke to a former| president of the maldives a couple of weeks ago about this summit, he was telling me about the work that young activists are doing in the maldives and how they have been encouraged to make their voices heard, but he felt that those voices weren't fully being heard at cop.

billion of finance, and that money has still not been put on the table for developing nations. so while it's great to see all of these commitments and pledges being made, the real question is going to come down to a matter of follow—through and that it will be what ultimately determines if we stay below 1.5. just going back to young voices being heard. why do you think, why do you think that young people are so important in tackling this problem has not because sometimes there seems to be a disconnect, doesn't that, between the young activists saying we are trying to protect our future and for people who are making those decisions, the vested interests involved in this process. vested interests involved in this rocess. ~ �* , vested interests involved in this rocess. h , ~ process. well, it's exactly like you said, process. well, it's exactly like you said. climate _ process. well, it's exactly like you said, climate activists, _ process. well, it's exactly like you said, climate activists, we - process. well, it's exactly like you said, climate activists, we are - process. well, it's exactly like you said, climate activists, we are all. said, climate activists, we are all speaking from a personal position of fear and concern in the sense that we have nothing but everything to lose. we aren't coming to these discussions being paid to participate. this isn't ourjob. i'm a full—time student, and advocacy is

something i do out of necessity because i'm scared about the future that my generation is going to face if we don't take climate action. my generation is already experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis at a rate of three times higher than our grandparents. 0f a rate of three times higher than our grandparents. of course we are concerned about the lack of action being taken into hypocrisy by our world leaders that they can't even call themselves leaders if they aren't committing to adequate climate action which includes phasing out all fossil fuels. the founder of the climate cardinals. nearly 100 young lebanese men are reported to havejoined the so—called islamic state terror group in the last year. but rather than simply being drawn in by the extreme ideology, they're trying to find a way to escape the country's financial crisis. with the vast majority of lebanese people living in poverty, the terror group is using deprived areas as a recruiting ground to fuel its insurgency in iraq. 0ur middle east correspondent anna foster reports. in the back streets of tripoli,

hope is in short supply, so is food, electricity and water — the very basics of life. the struggle for survival makes many people desperate, but some have taken extreme measures, joining a terror group responsible for murdering thousands. translation: i wanted to join the islamic state | because of the poverty here, then i would get close to my god and live comfortably, not worried about the cost of living. achmed, not his real name, was only 17 when he tried to join the so—called islamic state online with hopes of going to iraq. within hours he was arrested, he said he did it because he was desperate. translation: it makes me want to kill myself. - i owe people money but i can't afford to give it back. this is one of the poorest places in lebanon. life here is hard and opportunities are scarce, and that is one reason why these young men are leaving.

without money, they rely on the terror group to smuggle them out. mohammed represents several of their families. translation: here is i separated from the state. look at these poor areas, nobody cares about it and this poor class will be recruited to isis. a year ago, this man vanished, killed fighting for islamic state, according to this voice message, although the language is far less sophisticated than the group would normally use. translation: he told us - he was going to see his fiancee and would be back at noon. he went out and never came back. his family don't understand why a young man preparing for his wedding would leave. they believe he could still be alive, but the army in iraq says he travelled there and attacked a military base. shortly afterwards, they killed him and five other lebanese islamic state members

in an airstrike. what will happen if you find them carrying out attacks in your country? translation: if you go to fight | with them, you will face either| being arrested or killed by the iraqi armed forces. don't be the fuel for their wars. it is a stark message to a struggling country. there is little hope on the horizon, only painful memories, and if it's youth see joining a terror organisation as their brightest hope, it is a damning indictment of what lebanon has become. the anonymous british artist, banksy, has released video footage of his artwork in ukraine. the works feature people doing daily tasks against war—torn buildings in hostomel, horenka and borodyanka. the footage also shows a man's hand creating the art — but in true banksy style, his face is never shown. let us have a look.

and some thunder. but most of the showers will be out to the west, so with the sunshine, we are likely to see temperatures about where they should be for this time of year, seven to 12 degrees. now, the showers will start to fade away through the evening, and we keep some clear skies, potentially, in the far north—east of scotland, but at the same time the next system moves in, yet more wet and windy weather on its way, accompanied by gale force gusts of winds in the strongest and heaviest of the rain. but ahead of it, under the clear skies, perhaps temperatures here low enough for a touch of light frost. some of that wet weather will gradually push its way steadily north—east on monday. a level of uncertainty as to just where that rain is likely to gather but keep abreast of the forecast, rain is likely through northern ireland, parts of wales, south—west england, and eventually into north—west england, scattered showers following on behind, drier but cooler conditions on the far north of scotland. and that colder air potentially sitting in scotland for a couple of days, tapping into the cold air sitting across scandinavia.

that means that these weather fronts potentially could enhance the risk of some wintry showers to higher ground as they drift out of aberdeenshire into the northern isles, but on the whole on tuesday, there will be some sunny spells coming through, and again a similar kind of feel to the weather, seven to 11 degrees. the remainder of the week stays unsettled, a real autumnal flavour. there will be showers, longer spells of rain, it will be windy with it, the best of the drier weather, however, into the far north—east.
