this is bbc news with the latest 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. friends, 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. donald trump's twitter account is reinstated after a public poll sees 52% of voters back the former us president's return.

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". let's get more now on the world cup — which will get under way in just a few hours�* time. organisers hope questions about the wisdom of staging the tournament in qatar will be replaced by focus on the football. fifa's president, gianni infantino, has accused the west of "hypocrisy" in its criticism of qatar's human rights record — while officials in doha say, qatar is being singled out unfairly for criticism. lucy hockings is in doha, the capital city of qatar.

we are counting down just hours away now to the opening ceremony and the first match of this controversial football world cup between the hosts qatar and ecuador. after 12 years of criticisms, of controversy, of actual pride in this country around what they have managed to achieve, there is so much resting on what will happen tonight. the first world cup to be hosted in a muslim country in the middle east. the organisers are really hoping the focus will be on the football now, despite the controversy. travelling fans i have finally started to arrive. we have seen pictures of ecuadorian fans, the south americans here in force and they have brought their instruments and there has been of celebrating from them already. to be fair, overthe celebrating from them already. to be fair, over the past few days it has felt like the fans we have seen on the street have been locals and we

have been waiting for the travelling fans to arrive and here they are. that match taking place in a few hours�* time. the stadium is like an arabic home and the qataris are promising a big celebration and a big performance tonight. lots of expectation the host team will do well. it has been incredibly hard to get away from the controversy, particularly after the press conference we saw yesterday from gianni infantino, that is still being talked about. with the latest, he is john being talked about. with the latest, he isjohn watson. 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 garth 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 very genuine person and i�*d love for gareth to win. i�*m feeling all emotional now. because i think, you know, if we could do it, it would be the greatest thing for our country. 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 hopes the sport will now take centre stage, but the questions show no signs of going away. john watson, bbc news. asi as i mentioned, qataris feel hugely proud of what they have managed to achieve here. proud of the fact they are going to be the first muslim country in the middle east to be hosting a world cup. many of them say they are being unfairly

criticised. they really do want the attention to be on, not only the football but many of the things they feel have been a success in their country. things that have changed and transformed over the past decade. let�*s get a sense of how this entire world cup and the criticism and controversy is being viewed in the arab world. is it fair to say they feel unfairly criticised here in qatar?— to say they feel unfairly criticised here in qatar? yes, they feel like the world doesn't _ here in qatar? yes, they feel like the world doesn't want _ here in qatar? yes, they feel like the world doesn't want to - here in qatar? yes, they feel like the world doesn't want to see - here in qatar? yes, they feel like l the world doesn't want to see them as a football fan like the other countries _ as a football fan like the other countries. foryears, they as a football fan like the other countries. for years, they have been crazy— countries. for years, they have been crazy about — countries. for years, they have been crazy about football. finally it is a moment— crazy about football. finally it is a moment they can come by bus, aeroplane — a moment they can come by bus, aeroplane for a few hours, but people — aeroplane for a few hours, but people don't want to see a big tournament like this in the art world — tournament like this in the art world. they feel like the other countries _ world. they feel like the other countries look at as in a minor way.

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 couldn�*t agree on further commitments to cut emissions. here�*s our climate editorjustin rowlatt. this is what this climate conference will be remembered for. objections is 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. there was a very strong move by some of the petro states to try and unwind some of those decisions and in fact go back to pre paris kind of arrangements. and so, i mean, as you can tell, because how late we are, there was sort of 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 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. 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. 12 years in the making. and surrounded by controversy the qatar world cup begins this afternoon with organisers hoping attention turns to the football. as is traditional

lots of football outside the territory, that may be tactically, when it comes to set pieces, they are a little bit naive. we will have to wait and see. ecuador have been to wait and see. ecuador have been to several world cups. but speaking to several world cups. but speaking to fans, the hope is qatar doesn�*t get embarrassed in the first game. the narrow loss or a draw could give their momentum with the crowd behind them for the rest of the tournament. we look forward to it, thank you very much indeed. the current world player of the year is the latest french star to be ruled of the world cup. karim benzema suffered a thigh injury in training and will miss the tournament. he won the 2022 balon d�*or after a great yearfor real madrid... but he follows paul pogba... n�*golo kante... christopher nkunku.. presnel kimpembe. .. in being ruled out for the defending champions. chelsea manager emma hayes is back on the touchline for their wsl game today against tottenham having recovered from an emergency hysterectomy. the defending champions can go three points clear at the top of the table if they win

into the then prince charles and a former close confidant of his. now, that follows a series of newspaper allegations where it was suggested that the then head of the prince�*s foundation charity, michael fawcett, had helped a prominent saudi businessman, mahfouz marei mubarak get an honour and also british citizenship. now, we know that in september, a couple of days before the queen died, police spoke to a man in his 40s and a man in his 50s under caution. now, the police say they have now passed a file to the crown prosecution service. it will be up to the cps now to decide whether to take any further action and if they decide to take action, what action that might be. now, buckingham palace have told us they don�*t want to comment on an ongoing police investigation. but when the details of these allegations first emerged, a spokesperson for the then prince of wales, said he had no knowledge of these allegations, no knowledge of what happened. now, michael fawcett has always said that he will cooperate fully with the police investigation.

as for the prominent saudi donor, he�*s always denied that he�*s done anything wrong. labour has said it will replace the house of lords with an elected chamber if it wins the next general election. speaking in the oberserver, 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, our political correspondent charlotte rose tells us more about what sir keir starmer is saying. sometimes big sections of bills can be added in or taken out and this commons and lords have been at loggerheads in recent years. we have seen arguments over brexit legislation and things around the right to protest. it is an important chamber, it has an importantjob. it

currently has 784 members and there has been concern in the past about the child�*s dream of a size of the chamber and how much it cost to the taxpayer. it is made up of different groups of people, crossbench peers who are non—political experts in a particular field. who are non—political experts in a particularfield. you who are non—political experts in a particular field. you then who are non—political experts in a particularfield. you then have political groups, so the conservatives, labour, lib dems and the greens and then you have elected peers as well and they sit together to make decisions. so peers as well and they sit together to make decisions.— to make decisions. so when keir starmer says — to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he _ to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he will _ to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he will abolish i to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he will abolish it i to make decisions. so when keir starmer says he will abolish it in its current form, what details has given to envisage what it will be like when it comes in and what change will be brought about? he: effectively saying he wants an elected chamber. he has not said how that form of elections would work but he says he wants to take the ability of prime ministers to be able to appoint people to go into the house of lords. that is part of

what has caused controversy over the past few years with the suggestion that it past few years with the suggestion thatitis past few years with the suggestion that it is being stuffed with people who are friends with the ruling party. borisjohnson, in particular has faced accusations are from the newspaper editor, but also the son of an x kgb agent got a peerage. there has also been accusations that borisjohnson had offered peerages to sitting mps to sort of curry favour with them, but then 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 keir starmer is saying it needs to be elected in order that the public can have faith in what it�*s doing. is it order that the public can have faith in what it's doing.— in what it's doing. is it a straightforward - in what it's doing. is it a straightforward thing i in what it's doing. is it a straightforward thing ifl in what it's doing. is it a i straightforward thing if they in what it's doing. is it a - straightforward thing if they win the next election, they can just decide to do it and it happens? i decide to do it and it happens? i would say it is very far from that. this is not the first time this kind of thing has been suggested. it was a labour idea in 1997, but in the

end 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 and it�*s not the only time there has been suggestions of constitutional changes. in 2013 there was a referendum the 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 would go through very easily. i think they would be a tough fight and the conservative party is saying they would be very against it and clearly, there will 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 a change. charlotte rose. there�*s been renewed shelling close to, and at the site of europe�*s largest nuclear power plant in ukraine. experts from the international atomic energy agency stationed at the zaporizhzhia plant reported that more than a dozen blasts were heard within a short period of time on sunday morning,

and last night. russia and ukraine have blamed each other for the shelling. bethany bell sent this update. well, in a statement, the head of the iaea, rafael grossi, said that whoever was doing this needed to stop it immediately because they were playing with fire. he said there appeared to have been renewed shelling in and around the plant and he said that the iaea team, which is based there, said that there had been some damage to buildings, systems and equipment at the site, but not to anything that was crucial to nuclear safety or security. and the statement said that there also had been no reports of casualties. but the head of the iaea, rafael grossi, said that this was unacceptable and extremely disturbing news. 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. 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 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.
