this is bbc news. i'm arunoday mukharji. our top stories: fifa's president hits back at western critics of qatar's human rights record, accusing them of hypocrisy. for what we europeans have been doing in the last 3000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3000 years before starting to give moral lessons. negotiators at the un climate talks in egypt are reportedly close to signing an agreement to help the poorest countries worst affected by climate change. rishi sunak promises ukraine $65 million of military aid on his first visit to kyiv as prime minister.

elon musk says donald trump's account will be reinstated but the former us president does not seem too fast. —— not seem too fussed. i hear we're getting a big vote to go back on twitter. i don't see it because i don't see any reason for it. 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 on sunday, and it comes after intense scrutiny from the west in the build—up to the tournament over issues including the country's 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's come under fire for bringing the event here amid human rights concerns and today, the game's most powerfulfigure turned on his critics in an extraordinary speech. today, i feel gay. today, i feel disabled. today, ifeel 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 red—headed 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 apologising for the next 3,000 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. ifound itjaw—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 build—up. but after that remarkable i.5—hour—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. we can speak now to craig foster, a former australian footballer, now a tv pundit and human rights and refugee ambassador.

craig, thank you very much for your time here on bbc news. pleasure. your time here on bbc news. pleasure-— your time here on bbc news. pleasure. ~ . , ., ., ~ ., pleasure. what did you make of gianni infantino's _ pleasure. what did you make of gianni infantino's address. - pleasure. what did you make of gianni infantino's address. i - gianni infantino's address. i thought it was a good report from dan and the question that he asked gianni infantino, who i think is in danger of becoming a comicalfigure, really, and certainly a divisive one and his comments are very dangerous in trying to reference history issues which have nothing to do with the human rights transgressions that were seen related to this world cup and in fact becoming a figure who wants to be seem to pit west against east. absolutely horrendous comments, bizarre, from the fifa president but the question that dan put to him to say isn't a captions by red bee media. {iii captions by red bee media. of 0rocobre hypocritical for people to stand with their own statutes on human rights and also a non—discrimination statutes and principles which they speak so endlessly about but as soon as economics are involved or politics in

infantino's case, they dispense with so very, very quickly, was the right question and there is no response. in the right question and there is no response-_ the right question and there is no response. in fact, infantino said the real _ no response. in fact, infantino said the real power _ no response. in fact, infantino said the real power is - no response. in fact, infantino said the real power is through | said the real power is through the ball, that's exactly the point. the ball should represent human rights, notwithstanding you actually have your own human rights policy and therefore you are obligated to bring that to live but let's put that aside for the moment. these comments, to say let's just get on with football and don't worry about humans are so ridiculous that they are bordering on being dangerous. but it does show i think perhaps the political nature, i can only imagine that he is trying to shore up some of the votes in certain parts of the votes in certain parts of the votes in certain parts of the world, he is trying to gain support as he is of course about to be elected unopposed again and no doubt is looking further forward again and no doubt is looking furtherforward in the again and no doubt is looking further forward in the future. there is so much that has been said in the run—up to the tournament itself. do you feel that the sporting competition itself has been overshadowed by the controversies that have surrounded it?— surrounded it? well, it definitely _

surrounded it? well, it definitely has - surrounded it? well, it definitely has but - surrounded it? well, it definitely has but it's l definitely has but it's actually a really powerful moment in i guess the sporting rights movement but in global sport overall, next month is an opportunity for us all to have a conversation about what the power of that ball is. as infantino tried to say. and the power it actually has to bring positive change to people. and we should commend qatar on the legal reforms in relation to the kavala system and albeit in one of the richest per capita gdp countries in the world the minimum wage that has been implemented is disgracefully small. at least there is one, for the first time. they have, through the foul of a power of football, become one of the most progressive nations in the gulf and it is incredibly powerful but the question for all of us, and it has to be put to infantino, aside from when you going to stand up for your actual human rights policy and stop deflecting from these issues where people are being deeply harmed and can you

please stop talking about your school education and conflating that with people who have lost their lives and families are in debt and destitute, the lgbti immunity continue to be repressed but when is it we are going to use this game for positive, for positive human progress —— community. missing some of that in relation to qatar but nonetheless we must continue to raise through this tournament all of the other transgressions which so so important. ——we have seen some of that. so important. --we have seen some of that.— so important. --we have seen some of that. we're a few hours away from _ some of that. we're a few hours away from the — some of that. we're a few hours away from the kick-off - some of that. we're a few hours away from the kick-off of - some of that. we're a few hours away from the kick-off of the i away from the kick—off of the first match and i also want to focus the match itself. so let's talk about the team is going in. let's talk about the team is going in-— let's talk about the team is going in— let's talk about the team is auoin in. �* , ., ., going in. any favourites? oh, well, i think— going in. any favourites? oh, well, i think it _ going in. any favourites? oh, well, i think it is _ going in. any favourites? oh, well, i think it is a _ going in. any favourites? oh, well, i think it is a really - well, i think it is a really difficult tournament to call and this is my 10th world cup, male and female, and given that it's unique because it's in the middle of the european season, we are seeing now bad news with benzema, we've seen many other

players get injuries just in recent weeks but we're also seeing arrive at the tournament in a really poor physical condition. i think fatigue will play a big part and we don't quite know, i think, the line—ups in the first few games will be very unpredictable and we cannot assume for example in the australian context they are playing against france the lodge champions and who is going out for france? the coaches will have to make different condition ago for —— decisions that they have in the past where they have had a number of weeks to recuperate after the season so i would say brazil are obviously in great form. but you know the problem is we could see some of the elder players, the legend, lionel messi and others, potentially struggling to get through the tournament given the packed schedule they have had in the to it so i think i'm expecting a really, really unpredictable tournament. bier? unpredictable tournament. very cuickl , unpredictable tournament. very quickly. craig. _ unpredictable tournament. very quickly, craig, weather. how much of a fact of that be? i hope it is not really. 0f hope it is not really. of course, we have seen all of the

pictures about england, they are training and they have the mist machine and the like and i getting used to it and those who are playing at 1pm or a little later in the afternoon, it will certainly be a challenge coming out of europe. however, those who are playing in the evening should be fine. this was always going to be an issue. i think people are thinking it's going to be a greater factor thinking it's going to be a greaterfactor perhaps thinking it's going to be a greater factor perhaps than what we anticipated. nevertheless i think the temperatures are not extreme at this time of the year. so, it shouldn't be, i think, as much of a factor of the fatigue. condense and packed playing schedule that we've seen the top lawyers in the world being put through. and to see how they are able to manage the line—ups and the amount of time top players in the world are able to play in the world cup and in actualfact able to play in the world cup and in actual fact whether we are able to get a final with the two best teams, notjust the two best teams, notjust the two best squads. the two best teams, not 'ust the two best squadsfi the two best squads. craig foster, thank _ the two best squads. craig foster, thank you - the two best squads. craig foster, thank you very - the two best squads. craig l foster, thank you very much the two best squads. craig - foster, thank you very much for being with us and giving us your thoughts. my being with us and giving us your thoughts. 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 editorjustin 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've 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 temperature degree goal. all eyes are now on room two —

that is where the final negotiations are taking place. justin rowlatt, bbc news, sharm el—sheik. joining us now is peter kalmus, climate scientist and author. he is in north carolina. thank you very much for your time on bbc news. talks have stretched on as expected. still optimistic?- on as expected. still otimistic? �* ., , , optimistic? am i optimistic? i would say _ optimistic? am i optimistic? i would say i — optimistic? am i optimistic? i would say i feel— optimistic? am i optimistic? i would say i feel desperate, i optimistic? am i optimistic? i| would say i feel desperate, an extreme emergency, i have tried twice to protest the action we have had through this process for 27 years so i think we should expect a lot more out of this un process. and i hope, i really hope, that they get some significant and automatic and agreeing a phase—out of all fossil fuels, notjust coal. peter, the biggest sticking point has been who will pay for loss and damage caused by climate change. do you feel the developing nations who have made that argument repeatedly could walk away with some sort

of assurances from the western nations? ~ �* ., ., , nations? we'll have to see. i think the _ nations? we'll have to see. i think the final _ nations? we'll have to see. i think the final plenary - nations? we'll have to see. i think the final plenary is - think the final plenary is starting now as we speak and i guess maybe in a few hours we will know but they certainly deserve it. it's a planet— scale injustice. i mean, it's just... if you were writing a fiction novel about injustice, the rich and the poor, the developed nations, the poor nations, you could not come up with the crazier plot than climate change.- with the crazier plot than climate chance. ., ., climate change. you mentioned countries like _ climate change. you mentioned countries like india _ climate change. you mentioned countries like india which - climate change. you mentioned countries like india which are i countries like india which are still one of the largest emitters, have assured they will phase—out fossil fuels. do you see that as a realistic possibility? do you see that happening?— possibility? do you see that haueninu? ., ., , ., happening? one day or one year in the future, _ happening? one day or one year in the future, if _ happening? one day or one year in the future, if not _ happening? one day or one year in the future, if not this - in the future, if not this time, absolutely. because that is what is causing global heating, that is what is causing all of these catastrophes. it's burning fossil fuels. catastrophes. it's burning fossilfuels. also catastrophes. it's burning fossil fuels. also animal agriculture too which i don't

think it's nearly enough attention but 80% of these catastrophes, these floods and heatwaves and, you know, massive hurricanes like hurricane ian, 80% caused by burning fossil fuels, about 50% from animal agriculture, so we have no choice. it's inconvenient to a lot of people, especially to the rich people, especially to the rich people who control these industries, but we will eventually all realise we have no choice but to phase them out. ., ,., no choice but to phase them out. . , ., , , , no choice but to phase them out. ., , ,, . out. he also expressed concern in the past _ out. he also expressed concern in the past there _ out. he also expressed concern in the past there is _ out. he also expressed concern in the past there is a _ out. he also expressed concern in the past there is a growing . in the past there is a growing disconnect between climate activists and the decision—makers at these summits. a little more on that? it is hard for me to see how this process can really start bringing meaningful action that we need for our collective future until they put up a firewall to keep up the fossil fuel industry. there have been reports in the guardian that

fossil fuel advocates outnumber delegates from any nation. you see saudi arabia being a bad actor, overand see saudi arabia being a bad actor, over and over, year after year, a fossilfuel after year, a fossil fuel nation after year, a fossilfuel nation and after year, a fossil fuel nation and now they are trying to push carbon capture which is a form of destruction, so that they can keep raking in profits from fossil fuels. they can keep raking in profits from fossilfuels. —— from fossil fuels. —— distraction. from fossilfuels. —— distraction. i think because the grassroots movement is getting much stronger, it is harderfor the fossil getting much stronger, it is harder for the fossil fuel nations and the fossil fuel industry to pull these kinds of, you know, sleight of hand and distraction, and i think hopefully, that activism, you know, against the fossil fuel industry, the power of activists is going to continue to increase. bill activists is going to continue to increase.— to increase. all right, talks are still on, _ to increase. all right, talks are still on, let's _ to increase. all right, talks are still on, let's see - to increase. all right, talks| are still on, let's see where that heads. peter, thank you very much for your time here on bbc news. you are watching bbc news, the headlines: fifa's president has hit back at western critics of qatar's human rights record and accused them of hypocrisy. negotiators at the un climate

talks in egypt have agreed to help the poorest countries worst affected by climate change. to the war in ukraine, where rishi sunak has made a surprise trip, 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 $60 millon in defence aid. 0ur political correspondent ayonee wells reports. —— ione wells. a warm reception on a snowy day in kyiv. very good to see you. i've got my coat for later. in footage released by the ukrainian government and number10, rishi sunak can be seen laying flowers at a memorialfor 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. let's get some of the day's other news. long queues have formed outside peru's busiest airport, which remains closed more than a day after a crash between a plane and an emergency truck. the aircraft was about to take off when the vehicle hit its wing. no passengers died, but two firefighters were killed and three others are in a serious condition. they had been taking part in a training exercise. malaysia's snap election appears likely to end with a hung parliament. two opposition coalitions won

most votes, though each fell far short of a majority. the election commission said a coalition led by the opposition leader, anwar ibrahim, was leading with 61 seats, while the rival alliance led by the former prime minister, muhyiddin yassin, had one seat fewer. the governing umno party is trailing further behind. two metres of snow has smothered large parts of upstate new york state, prompting officials to restrict road travel and cancel flights. the cancellations are expected to affect the plans of hundreds of thousands over the next week, ahead of the busy thanksgiving holiday. new york's governor has called in the national guard, deploying about 70 members to help with snow removal. nasa expects humans to visit the moon for lengthy stays sometime this decade. officials say that as part of the agency's artemis mission, habitats will be need to be created there to support scientific operations. the last manned mission to the moon was back in 1972.

will donald trump be returning to twitter? that debate has reached a new peak after elon musk concluded a 24—hour twitter poll, asking users to vote on whether the former president, who was banned from the site by its previous owners, should be reinstated. people got used to donald trump's often fiery tweets when he was in the oval office, but he was in the oval office, but he was in the oval office, but he was bound by the social media network following the january six riots. the new owner of twitter, elon musk, confirmed he will be able to rejoin, and it all down to people power, after mr musk held a poll on the subject, where else but on twitter? i'm joined by our reporter tom brada. time, his back? i havejust been told this account has been reinstated?— reinstated? there has been a lot of dramatic _ reinstated? there has been a lot of dramatic movement, . reinstated? there has been a lot of dramatic movement, i | lot of dramatic movement, i have my phone with me in case that any development in the coming seconds and minutes, because it really changing as we speak. essentially there has been this poll and donald trump will be and has been, as you mention, already reinstated on twitter. it is another question whether he will rejoin twitter,

become an active user again. this is yet another headline grabbing move from elon musk, and like so much of what he has done, it has split opinion. there have been people who think of him in some kind of saviour of free speech, they are obviously in favour of the factory has taken this poll and probably are in favour of the fact donald trump has been voted to rejoin. —— in favour of the fact he has taken this poll. then there are people opposed to this kind of behaviour, to think they are allowing people like donald trump and others who have also rejoined the platform recently to share dangerous views which ultimately, potentially, a threat to democracy. i think what we are able to see now is mr musk�*s reaction in the last few minutes to the decision to reinstate donald trump. i think donald trump's _ reinstate donald trump. i think donald trump's last _ reinstate donald trump. i think donald trump's last tweet - reinstate donald trump. i think donald trump's last tweet is i donald trump's last tweet is now also up. i donald trump's last tweet is now also no— donald trump's last tweet is now also up. i want to touch on what elon _ now also up. i want to touch on what elon musk _ now also up. i want to touch on what elon musk said, _ now also up. i want to touch on what elon musk said, he - now also up. i want to touch on what elon musk said, he said i what elon musk said, he said the people have spoken, trump will be reinstated i am no expert in latin but he concluded by saying, —— by

saying "vox populi, vox dei", i believe that means voice of the people, voice of god. he is saying that the voice of the people mean donald trump should be allowed to rejoin. his fans will be overjoyed, the people who see donald trump is more of the menace will obviously be concerned.— concerned. this has been a divisive issue _ concerned. this has been a divisive issue from - concerned. this has been a divisive issue from the - divisive issue from the beginning. have we heard anything from trump or his team? we know from his past comments that he was not particularly excited about coming back to twitter. that is ri . ht. coming back to twitter. that is right. well. — coming back to twitter. that is right. well, anything _ coming back to twitter. that is right. well, anything i - coming back to twitter. that is right. well, anything i am - right. well, anything i am liable to say could be out of date within seconds. there has not been an official response yet. what we have had is a quote on camera from donald trump in the past half hour, i would say, where he addressed the fact this poll was going on. i think we can show you that now. i on. i think we can show you that now-— on. i think we can show you that now. . ., that now. i hear we are getting a bi aer that now. i hear we are getting a bigger boat _ that now. i hear we are getting a bigger boat to _ that now. i hear we are getting a bigger boat to also _ that now. i hear we are getting a bigger boat to also go - that now. i hear we are getting a bigger boat to also go back. a bigger boat to also go back on twitter. i don't see it, because _ on twitter. i don't see it, because i_ on twitter. i don't see it, because i don't see any reason for it — because i don't see any reason for it. ., because i don't see any reason for it. ,, ., ., for it. like i mentioned at the beginning. — for it. like i mentioned at the beginning, even _ for it. like i mentioned at the beginning, even if— for it. like i mentioned at the beginning, even if his - for it. like i mentioned at the j beginning, even if his account is restored, and it has been restored, that is not a concrete certainty that he will be joining. concrete certainty that he will bejoining. there are concrete certainty that he will be joining. there are a couple of reasons for this. i would like to show you one. back in

april he explicitly addressed, donald trump, he explicitly addressed whether or not he would rejoin the platform. he said to fox news: when he says he is staying on truth, what he is referring to is truth social, another social media app which he happened to have started it, he owns it and he runs it. the interesting point is that he will not get any money, he will not see a centre for posting any tweets, for tweeting, centre for posting any tweets, fortweeting, but centre for posting any tweets, for tweeting, but he could benefit if truth social takes up benefit if truth social takes up and becomes a serious play among other social media platforms. at the moment that is not the case. it has been reported there are about half a million daily active users on truth social, twitter boasts around 200 million daily active users. so there is clearly a huge gulf there. donald trump might see it to being to his advantage to stay exclusively on truth social so he can draw

more of his fans to the platform. more of his fans to the platform-— more of his fans to the platform. more of his fans to the latform. . ., ., , platform. and again, of course, runnina platform. and again, of course, running for _ platform. and again, of course, running for a — platform. and again, of course, running for a presidential - running for a presidential election as well, but timing is also important. a word on elon musk, what do you feel he is trying to do? we know that he has been going ahead and reinstating quite a few accounts already, people who have banned the past? he accounts already, people who have banned the past?- have banned the past? he is known to — have banned the past? he is known to be _ have banned the past? he is known to be this _ have banned the past? he is known to be this massive i known to be this massive advocate for free speech, and wanting twitter to be a platform for what he considers to be really robust debate and not shutting down debate. so thatis not shutting down debate. so that is started to play out, you can see that with donald trump, we also had on friday the reinstatement of some other accounts which had supposedly been permanently banned, for example, cathy griffin, comedian, she was permanently suspended for imitating elon musk online without saying that she a parody. —— kathy girffin. jordan peterson, the canadian podcaster, he was bound for twitter deems to be paid for content. he is trying to bring people back to the platform but with a focus on this moderation, which occurred

under the previous owners. we will rely on _ under the previous owners. we will rely on you to keep scrolling and checking for any tweets that come in. that is all for the moment. that is a story will continue to track. thank you. hello there. weather headlines in recent days have been dominated by the relentless heavy rainfall that we have seen across eastern scotland in a bind, in aberdeenshire, we had a month and a half worth of rain since last wednesday, and there is more wet weather to come. it looks likely over the next five days that the heaviest of the rain will be further south and west. the darker of the blue is the heaviest of the rain. and as you can see, across the far north—east, hopefully not quite as much. still somewhat weather to come on sunday, from this frontal system, about an inch of rain before that clears through. it will clear quite quickly, though, on sunday morning, easing away from eastern scotland in south—east england, allowing for some sunshine to come through. a

brisk westerly wind will quickly drive in some sharp, squally showers, some of these heavy with some hail and some thunder. but most of the showers will be out to the west, so with some sunshine we are likely to see temperatures about where they should be for this time of year, seven item 12. -- 7-12. the this time of year, seven item 12. —— 7—12. the showers will start to fade away through the evening and we will see 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 winds in the strongest and heaviest of the rain. ahead of it, under those clear skies, perhaps temperatures here enough for a touch of light frost. some of that wet weather will gradually push its way steadily north and east on monday. a level of uncertainty as to just wear 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 northern england, scattered showers following on behind, dry out

but cooler conditions in the far north of scotland. that cold air potentially sitting in scotland for a couple of days, tapping into the cold air sitting across scandinavia. that means these weather fronts could potentially enhance risk of some wintry showers to higher ground as they drift out of aberdeenshire into the northern isles. 0n the whole, on tuesday, sunny spells coming through and again, a similar kind of feeling to the weather, 7- 11 kind of feeling to the weather, 7— 11 degrees. the remainder of the week stays unsettled, real autumnal flavour stop showers, long spells of rain, it will be windy and the best of the dry weather, however, will be in the far north—east.

this is bbc news. the headlines: fifa's president gianni infantino has accused critics of qatar's human rights record of hypocrisy, saying europe should apologise for its historic actions. concerns were raised about qatar's policies on homosexuality and how it treats migrant workers from asia and africa. negotiators at the un climate conference in egypt are said to be close to signing a deal to provide aid for developing countries that have suffered loss and damage due to global warming. but there's been disagreement on whether to include stronger pledges on cutting the use of fossil fuels. the british prime minister, rishi sunak, has offered ukraine an additional $60 million worth of military aid. it was his first visit to kyiv since taking office. the money will be used to help

counter russian aerial attacks
