having overrun to a second additional day, delegates at the cop27 climate summit finally reached agreement in the early hours of this morning. the deal should see developing nations who suffer most from the effects of climate change given financial help from the industrialised developed world. it's to help mitigate the loss and damage caused by the worst impacts of climate change. but there's no financial sum mentioned in the final text of the agreement. the summit also repeated a commitment to limit global warming to a 1.5 celsius rise since pre—industrial time,

but delegates could not agree on further commitments to cut emissions. here's our climate editorjustin rowlatt. this is what this climate conference will be remembered for. the objectives are so decided. an agreement to create a fund to help vulnerable nations with the loss and damage climate change is causing. the deal on loss and damage is undoubtedly a breakthrough, but there is huge disappointment in this room. disappointment that the rest of the text is not more ambitious. leaders of delegations met to discuss how they could change the wording to increase the effort to cut emissions. the aim of these summits is to raise ambition every year but today's deal goes no further than what was agreed last year in glasgow. what is low emission energy? there's even a clause which could allow natural gas to be classified as green. guys? excuse me? negotiators say petro states, including saudi arabia, lobbied hard to lower the targets.

there was a very strong move by some of the _ there was a very strong move by some of the petro— there was a very strong move by some of the petro states to try to unwind some _ of the petro states to try to unwind some of— of the petro states to try to unwind some of those decisions and in fact io some of those decisions and in fact 90 back— some of those decisions and in fact 90 back to — some of those decisions and in fact go back to pre—paris kind of arrangements and so, as you can tell, _ arrangements and so, as you can tell, because of how late we are, there _ tell, because of how late we are, there was— tell, because of how late we are, there was trench warfare on that. many— there was trench warfare on that. many countries wanted the targets to be much stronger. emissions peaking before 2025, as the science tells us is necessary. not in this text! clear follow—through on the phase—down of coal. not in this text! a clear commitment to phase out all fossil fuels. not in this text! and the energy text weakened in the final minutes. but the deal on loss and damage is genuinely a breakthrough, says the woman who led negotiations for developing countries. it's given me hope, it's restored faith in multilateralism, it's given us all hope in the cop system. and literally, in the power

of working together. the problem is, the rest of the deal is so disappointing. it means what could have been a triumph for egypt is likely to end up being judged a failure. justin rowlatt, bbc news, sharm el—sheikh, egypt. the world cup gets underway in qatar this afternoon when the hosts kick off the tournament against ecuador at 4:00pm. the organisers are hoping the focus will be on the football rather than the controversies which have dominated the build up. our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor is in al khor for us this lunchtime, where the opening ceremony and match are being held. nesta. good afternoon. welcome to the al bayt stadium. a few years ago this wasjust a desert. it bayt stadium. a few years ago this was just a desert. it has bayt stadium. a few years ago this wasjust a desert. it has been specially built for this world cup at a cost of more than £700 million. as you say, in a few hours we will have the opening ceremony and then

the first match of the 2022 world cup, hosts qatar taking on ecuador. i am sure that after all the controversy leading up to the tournament, fans will be happy to watch some football. my colleague john watson is here with what we can expect. after years of continued controversy, today the first world cup in the middle east finally begins in qatar — a largely desert state with little footballing history. all eight world cup venues sit in and around the capital, doha. the al bayt stadium to the north will stage today's opening match between the hosts and ecuador. 32 nations are competing for football's biggest prize, and it all leads here, the lusail stadium, the venue for the final in 29 days' time. questions over qatar's human rights record have plagued the hosts ever since it won the bid to stage the tournament, and on the eve of kick—off, further criticism followed after comments made by the fifa president,

gianni infantino. i know what it means to be discriminated, to be bullied. as a foreigner in a foreign country, as a child at school i was bullied because i had red hair. wales and england are in the same group and both play their first games tomorrow. over the next 2a hours, thousands of fans will flood into qatar. for england supporter garford beck, this will be his seventh world cup, one that he hopes will bring success for manager gareth southgate and his side. he comes across as a very genuine person and i would love for gareth to win. i'm getting all emotional now! because i think if we could do it, it would be just be the greatest thing for our country and our country needs something to cling onto,

the way things are now. need a bit ofjoy in the world? we do, absolutely. after 12 years, today the football finally starts. fifa hope that the sport will now take centre stage, but the questions show no signs of going away. my my colleaguejohn watson there on what to expect. a winter world cup was always going to be an unique experience in one city. fans from all 32 countries are going to be descending on doha, which means temporary accommodation has been built. everything from cruise ships to tented villages. i went to visit one of these tented fan village is just north of doha. well over a million people are due in qatar for the world cup. this fan village just north of doha will host some of them. it has 1,800 tents,

costs £175 a night. it's just opened, and those fans have started to arrive. when we saw pictures online of this, it seemed like a really fun idea. kind of having the vibe. like a festival. exactly. but once we got here, our impressions were not precisely all positive. the tents are made of this really thick plastic, which with the nice and warm weather we're having right now makes it extremely hot. right now it's unbearable to be inside. have you had a wander to see the cubicles where you shower? yeah, i just showered. yeah, the water is, like, brown when you open it, so it's not really that exciting. i brushed my teeth with my water bottle because that was cleaner than the water over there. what do you think of the place? for me, it's no good experience. for my reservation, it's . a hotel, not a village, 0k? nesta gasps. so, 3,300 us dollars!

very, very expensive. very~ _ it's not that good here. and you're going to walk away having spent that much money? yes. i feel excited, you open and i go in. ok, i can do that. my heart's racing for some reason. welcome. 0h, 0k. it's nice. we have a fan. no air condition? no. no, no, just the fan. and locks for the door. so this is security? yes. right, anyone staying in the fan village can also use this fan park just across the road. there is a big screen behind me where you can watch the game. you can also take a dip in the sea or have a beer. and all around me you can see people frantically doing odd jobs, trying to get this place ready. the world cup is just hours away and the fans seem to be ready, but the venue doesn't appear to be.

the staff at the village assured me that all of this would be ready in time for the big kick—off. and you can see the potential to deliver the month—long beach party that was promised. a first—ever winter world cup was always going to be a unique experience, and for many reasons, qatar 2022 is living up to that. see you in the morning. there we go, fans have started to arrive here. excitement is building arrive here. excitement is building a stop it's time for the football. back to you. a stop it's time for the football. back to vom— back to you. thank you, nesta mcgregor- _ the housing secretary, michael gove, has written to every council and social housing provider in england to warn that deaths like that of awaab ishak must "never be allowed to happen again". an inquest found that the two—year—old died from a respiratory condition caused by mould exposure in the housing association flat in rochdale where he lived. donald trump's twitter account has been reactivated, after its new owner, elon musk, let his followers decide in an online poll whether mr trump

should be allowed back. the former president was banned from the site injanuary last year following the rioting on capitol hill. mr trump then set up his own platform, truth social, and claims to have no interest in returning to twitter. that's it for now. the next news on bbc one is at 6.15. bye for now. now on the bbc news channel, let's join lucy hockings. welcome to doe how, we are counting down to the first match of this controversial world cup. there has been 12 years of criticisms and conjecture about

what would take place during this world cup, how this glittering skyline beside me, this corniche you can see which has been built essentially for the world cup, how these purpose—built stadiums have there so come into being. there have been so many criticisms about how migrant come into being. there have been so many criticisms about hot and |rant up the �* lgbtq the �* lgbtq plus the treatment of lgbtq plus people and around environment and issues around environment and sustainability. fifa bosses and qatari officials say it is time to focus on the football. we need to move away from these controversies and stay with the football. but there are many others who say this is the right time to be shining a light on all of this came into being. the billions of dollars that was spent, the migrant labour that built so many of these world cup facilities. 0ne built so many of these world cup facilities. one of the people who has been behind: figures

7: 7 figures i? 7: 7 figures a? 7: 7 figures a, very and giving the figures in a very direct way to the world has been the guardian�*s peat patterssen. a lot of people use this figure of 6500 migrant deaths when they about building of can you got to that number? sourced “a: “it �*g—�*pé= "wezd “so" . and vé- “it �*gz�*séfi "t“éf "e“ ” and the vé- “it �*gz�*séfi "t“éf "e“ ” in ind the vé- “it �*gz�*séfi "t“éf "e“ ” in loja, the vé- “it �*gz�*séfi "t“éf "e“ ” sources. >ja, the vé- “it �*gz�*séfi "t“éf "e“ ” sources. it , the vé- “it �*gz�*séfi "t“éf "e“ ” sources. it relates, the vé- “it �*gz�*séfi "t“éf "e“ ” sources. it relates, not the construction but all to construction workers, but all south asian migrants in qatar. is south asian migrants in qatar. it is important to realise the vast majority of them are low—wage workers, many involved in very high risk work. these older workers who have notjust build the stadiums, that was a small number of workers, there are hundreds and thousands of workers who have been involved in building the entire infrastructure, new airports, roads, hotels and so

on. the majority of these deaths are sudden and unexplained. many are put down to natural causes due to heart failure or respiratory failure. i have seen many, many death certificates that say this. but it is a medically meaningless classification of death. their lawyers said eight years ago they should investigate the cause of the debts and they failed to do that. one of the consequences of that, many families of the workers who have died have not received compensation. they probably should be entitled to it. i remember being in the pool and meeting some of those families and one of them said to me, we can't understand why our loved one died and why we haven't received any compensation. this was a man who was a construction worker here in qatar. he died of one of the sudden and so—called natural deaths. his daughter said to be, sobbing in front of me, who can i call that? i

am desperate to speak to my dad. you will note that qatari officials have said the world cup has been a catalyst for change here, that labour reform has been put in place and things like the minimum wage exist. there is an acknowledgement i know from many that progress is happening, but it is slow. do you expect that progress to continue in the spotlight is off qatar and everyone leaves after this world cup? everyone leaves after this world cu . ? �* ., , , . everyone leaves after this world cu? �* ., , , . ., everyone leaves after this world cu? ., ,, . ., ., cup? again, it is such an important cuestion. cup? again, it is such an important question- to _ cup? again, it is such an important question. to give _ cup? again, it is such an important question. to give them _ cup? again, it is such an important question. to give them their - cup? again, it is such an important question. to give them their due i question. to give them their due there have been reforms introduced. chiefly, the introduction of the minimum wage and the introduction of the system which employees were not allowed to change jobs or leave the country without their employers' permission. but that increase in the minimum wage equates to about £1 an hour. i have spoken to scores of workers here in doha and they said

it is impossible to change jobs. workers here in doha and they said it is impossible to changejobs. in terms of legacy are better workers' rights after this world cup, my concern is when the spotlight moves on the pressure to improve labour conditions. also move on. what on the pressure to improve labour conditions. also move on. what are our conditions. also move on. what are your emotions _ conditions. also move on. what are your emotions as _ conditions. also move on. what are your emotions as you _ conditions. also move on. what are your emotions as you look - conditions. also move on. what are your emotions as you look at - conditions. also move on. what are your emotions as you look at what i conditions. also move on. what are| your emotions as you look at what is about to happen tonight? there is the incredible opening ceremony they are promising and the opening match. we have spent over a decade covering this and what we hear from many people in qatar today, it is time to focus on the football, how do you feel? i focus on the football, how do you feel? , ., ., ., feel? i feel some anger and frustration. _ feel? i feel some anger and frustration. we _ feel? i feel some anger and frustration. we reported - feel? i feel some anger and frustration. we reported a l feel? i feel some anger and - frustration. we reported a couple of days ago about migrant workers working as security guards in a park right in the heart of world cup festivities. working 12 hour shifts, they take one day off a month and for overtime they are earning around 35p an hour. these are abuses i documented ten years ago and they

are still going on. some progress has been made but the fact this exists still today on the eve of the world cup shows how far there is still to go until qatar is a country that respects the rights of low—wage migrant workers. my emotions were mixed, ifeela migrant workers. my emotions were mixed, ifeel a sense migrant workers. my emotions were mixed, i feel a sense of frustration. some progress has been made, a lot more should have been made, a lot more should have been made my concern is that progress will stall after the world cup has handed over.— will stall after the world cup has handed over. ., ,, , ., . ., handed over. thank you so much for “oininu handed over. thank you so much for joining us- — handed over. thank you so much for joining us. joanna, _ handed over. thank you so much for joining us. joanna, just _ handed over. thank you so much for joining us. joanna, just to _ handed over. thank you so much for joining us. joanna, just to give - handed over. thank you so much for joining us. joanna, just to give you | joining us. joanna, just to give you some personal reflections when we speak to people here, everything is so obviously new and has so obviously been built by migrant labourers. even if you are walking around here, you can see people working, early in the morning and on construction sites as well. as much as the officials here say it is time to focus on the football, it is hard not to think how the stadiums are built, how the infrastructure was built, how the infrastructure was built when it is so obvious. it is ever present matter where you go.

that also means these controversies, the criticism of qatar and the world cup will not go away even once the football gets under way. thank you, lucy. the headlines on bbc news... the first ever world cup to be held in the middle east kicks off later today. the hosts qatar will play ecuador this afternoon. delegates at the un climate conference in egypt agree a major deal on climate change. however there's been criticism that the overall plan lacks ambition. the housing secretary, michael gove, has written to every council and social housing provider in england, to warn that deaths like that of two—year—old awaab ishak must "never be allowed to happen again". a shooting outside a gay nightclub in the us state of colorado has killed five people and injured at least 18. a statement by the q club in colorado springs said it was devastated by what it called a hate attack. local police say the suspected

gunman has been arrested and is being treated in hospital. the metropolitan police says a file of evidence about cash—for—honours allegations involving one of the king's charities, has been passed to the crown prosecution service. 0fficers began an investigation following a series of newspaper articles which claimed that a saudi donor to the prince's foundation was offered help to secure a knighthood. simon jones is here. what more do we know? that police investigation began back in february after a complaint by the anti—monitor group republic, into that then prince charles and a former close confidence of his. it follows a series of newspaper allegations that suggested the head of the prince's foundation policy had helped a saudi businessman to get an honour and british citizenship. we know in september,

up citizenship. we know in september, up couple of days before the queen died the police spoke to a man in his 40s and a man in his 50s under caution. the police say they have passed a file to the crown prosecution service and it will be “p prosecution service and it will be up to the cps to decide whether to take any further action. if they decide to take action, what action that might be. buckingham palace have said they do not want to comment on an ongoing police investigation but when the details first emerged, a spokesperson for the then prince of wales said he had no knowledge of these allegations and no knowledge of what happened. the head of the foundation said he would cooperate fully with the investigations and as for the prominent saudi downer, he has denied he has done anything wrong. thank you, simon. a massive snowstorm has paralysed large parts of western new york state — prompting officials to restrict travel just ahead of the busy thanksgiving holiday.

naomi choy smith reports. this could be a storm for the record books. snow pummeled the buffalo area, blanketing roads and burying homes in more than two meters of snow, leaving even winter weary residents stunned. crazy, crazy. we had it, we went downstairs to see if we could open the door. we could barely open the door. i was hoping it wasjust going to be kind of a, you know, it might miss us, but it got us. and i was like, i feel a little stir crazy now. children woke up to a winter wonderland. and dogs couldn't wait to dive in. but for many, the conditions were dangerous. hundreds of people had to be rescued. luckily, the cops came and they gave me a push. what we're talking about is a major, major storm. and new york's governor called in the national guard, deploying 150 members to help with snow removal in erie county. a risk to life as some residents tried to shovel their way out. the storm even forced the local

football team to move their game to another state as heavy snow smothered the buffalo bills stadium. and with more snowfall on the way, buffalo is bracing itself for a tough road ahead, as one of the busiest travel days of the year, the thanksgiving holiday approaches. naomi choy smith, bbc news. labour has said it will replace the house of lords with an elected chamber if it wins the next general election. speaking in the 0berserver, the labour leader sir keir starmer said the plan would help restore public trust in politics. the appointments process for the lords has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. i'm joined now by our political correspondent charlotte rose. tell us more about what keir starmer is saying? to tell us more about what keir starmer issa inc? ., ,., tell us more about what keir starmer is sa inc? ., , ., ., tell us more about what keir starmer issa inc? ., ,., ., �*, is saying? to understand what he's sa in: we is saying? to understand what he's saying we need _ is saying? to understand what he's saying we need to _ is saying? to understand what he's saying we need to understand - is saying? to understand what he'sj saying we need to understand what the house of lords does. this is the upper chamber parliament, its main job is to scrutinise legislation and

make changes. sometimes quite big sections of bills can be added in or taken out. but the commons and lords have been at loggerheads in recent years. we have seen arguments over brexit legislation, but also more recently things around the right to protest. it is an important chamber, it has an importantjob to do. it currently has 784 members and there has been concern in the past about the size of the chamber and how much it costs to the taxpayer. it is made up it costs to the taxpayer. it is made up of different groups of people, you have crossbench peers who are non—political experts in particular field. we have political groups, conservatives, labour, lib dems and the greens and then you have a small number of hereditary peers and religious representatives as well and they sit in the one chamber together to make decisions. so when keir starmer — together to make decisions. so when keir starmer says _ together to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he _ together to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he will _ together to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he will abolish - together to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he will abolish it i keir starmer says he will abolish it in its current form, how much detail has he given about what he would

envisage coming in and how the change would be brought about? he: effectively seems to be saying he wants to have an elected chamber. he has not said how that form of election would work but he says he wants to take away the ability of prime ministers to be able to appoint people to go into the house of lords. that is part of the controversy over the past few years with suggestions it is being stuffed with suggestions it is being stuffed with people who are friends with the ruling party. borisjohnson in particular has faced accusations after evgeny lebedeva, newspaper editor and the son of an ex kgb agent got a peerage. there has been accusations that borisjohnson had offered peerages to sitting mps to curry favour with them but asked them not to resign immediately in order not to trigger a by—election. those are some of the controversies and one of the reasons why keir starmer is saying it needs to be elected in order that the public can

have faith in what it is doing. is have faith in what it is doing. is it a straightforward thing if they win the next election, that they could just decide to do it and it happens? i could just decide to do it and it ha--ens? . could just decide to do it and it ha ens? :, _ could just decide to do it and it ha ens? :, , could just decide to do it and it hauens? :, , , ., happens? i would say it is very far from that — happens? i would say it is very far from that. this _ happens? i would say it is very far from that. this is _ happens? i would say it is very far from that. this is not _ happens? i would say it is very far from that. this is not the - happens? i would say it is very far from that. this is not the first - from that. this is not the first time this kind of thing has been suggested. it was a labour idea in 1997 but it got put in the too hard to do box because an incoming government found there were so many things that needed to be done. it is not the only time there has been suggestions of constitutional changes. back in 2013 there was a referendum that lib dems pushed hard to get when they were in government with the conservatives. they wanted to change the voting system. however, voters in the end rejected that. it is not clear to me this would be something that will go through very easily. i think there would be a tough fight and the conservative party is saying they would be very against it and clearly, there would be lots of existing members of the house of lords from all political parties, i suspect, who might not be on board

with that kind of change.— suspect, who might not be on board with that kind of change. humans could be living on the moon within this decade — that's according to a nasa official. howard hu leads the orion lunar spacecraft programme, which forms a major part of the agency's latest moon mission — artemis. he told the bbc that one of the project's aims was to establish if there's water on the moon's south pole, which could be used to create rocket fuel for deeper space exploration. it was a unbelievable feeling. goosebumps. but certainly, you know, i would say when i saw it lift off, it was a dream. you know, it's the first step we're taking to long term deep space exploration for not just the united states, but for the world. and i think that this is, you know, it's a historic day for nasa, but it's also a historic day for all the people that

love human space flight and deep space exploration. i mean, we are going back to the moon. we're working towards a sustainable program. and this is the vehicle that will carry the people that will land us back on the moon again. and i think this is one of the most important moments, i think, as we think about what the apollo generation has done and now the artemis generation. a giant panda given to taiwan by china 14 years ago has died after suffering a series of seizures. taipei zoo said it decided not to resuscitate tuan tuan from anaesthesia because the damage caused by a brain lesion was found to be irreversible. tuan tuan and his mate, yuan yuan, had been given to taiwan in 2008 when relations with beijing were more cordial. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello. many had more rain through the night. that's still filtering into the river systems and we still have flood warnings in force. more details on that and the weather warnings on the website. since there are more

showers to come today, even once the main rain clears away, it will linger in 0rkney. the showers could be quite heavy and we have more rain to come this week. this is the predicted rainfall over the next four or five days and you can see that most areas are going to see some rain, particularly southern and western areas initially. but by the end of the week, many parts could have another 30 to 40 millimetres of rainfall. as for the rest of the day, you've still got that rain just sitting across 0rkneyjust dragging its heels to clear aberdeenshire. heavy showers with hail and thunder behind and blustery winds as well, making it feel quite chilly. in fact, the air is chillier out and about today, cold enough for some snow on the very tops of the mountains in northern parts of england and scotland as well. so nine to 11 in the south. so as i say some blustery showers around, though, which continue through this evening and initially overnight but then they fade away. and before dawn we get more rain pushing back into the south west to northern ireland as well, but ahead of that, a cold night. so we'll have some frost and some

fog issues first thing for the morning commute on monday morning — the fog taking a wee while to clear away. and then we've got the rain and wind to contend with potentially in southern and western areas. yes, if this area of low pressure does develop, we could have some very lively winds and gales across southern and western areas nudging that rain northwards into the rest of england and wales across northern ireland. the question mark is how far north it will travel during the day on monday. but for many further south, another 20 to 30 millimetres of rain and not feeling particularly pleasant. still chilly in the north, even with the showers and cold enough for some snow over the hills. and that's because we're tapping in to this cold air setting across scandinavia through the next couple of days. the weather front swinging north and coming into that colder air. and it will give a smattering of snow over the hills, mostly from showers in the north, perhaps a quieter day on tuesday in terms of bands of rain, it's more likely to be a showery day for most of us. still chilly, particularly in the north. but there are more weather fronts waiting in the wings towards the south west, which means that the outlook for the week ahead is

still an unsettled one. temperatures do rise later in the week.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... delegates at the un climate conference in egypt agree a major deal on climate change. however, there's been criticism that the overall plan lacks ambition. the president of last year's cop summit, alok sharma spoke of his disappointment. i said in glasgow that the pulse of 1.5 degrees was weak. unfortunately, it remains on life support. the first ever world cup to be held in the middle east kicks off later today. the hosts qatar will play ecuador this afternoon. malaysia's general election results are in, but for the first time ever there's no outright winner.
