welcome to newsday. the headlines: rich nations agree to pay poorer countries for the losses caused by climate change, but there's little progress at the cop27 summit on cutting emissions. this will not be enough, but it is a much—needed political signal to rebuild broken trust. the voices of those on the front lines of the climate crisis must be heard. the qatar world cup kicks off with a lavish opening ceremony in doha. but in the opening game, the host nation loses 2—0 to ecuador. a shooting outside a gay nightclub in the us state of colorado leaves five people dead.

president biden says the us "must not tolerate hate". and no clear winner — the first ever hung parliament in malaysia, after a divisive, tightly—contested general election. live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. it's newsday. it's 7am in the morning in singapore and 1am in the morning in egypt, where the united nations climate summit cop27 ended with a landmark deal for developing countries. but there's been disappointment that there was no commitment to further cuts in greenhouse gases. negotiators in egypt agreed to set up a fund to help poorer nations deal with damage caused by climate change, like flooding. un chief antonio guterres said it was "an important step towards justice". but there's been criticism

that there were no new pledges to cut emissions. here's our climate editorjustin rowlatt. these talks were supposed to end on friday. they went through friday night and then through saturday night. it was 4:15 on sunday morning when the gavel finally came down on the loss and damage deal. i hear no objections, it's so decided. applause the exhausted delegates only managed a ripple of applause. but this is a landmark deal on an issue that has dogged these talks for decades. clearly, this will not be enough, but it is a much—needed political signal to rebuild broken trust. the voices of those on the front lines of the climate crisis must be heard. hurricane ian tears through cuba earlier this year. today's deal creates a fund to help vulnerable nations cope with the loss and damage

climate—related storms, droughts and floods are already wreaking in their communities. 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 dials back on what was agreed last year in glasgow. we need to switch to renewable power, it says, but also low emission energy. what is low emission energy? it is understood the phrase was included after pressure from the saudi delegation and other fossil fuel rich countries, and it is feared it 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, it was sort of trench warfare on that. many nations wanted the targets for emission reductions 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. llt's given us all hope in the cop| system and literally in the power of working together.

the problem is, for many here, 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. let's turn to the world cup now. after months of criticisms and controversies surrounding the tournament, the 2022 football world cup in qatar has finally kicked off. fans were treated to a visually striking opening ceremony at the al bayt stadium, with hollywood actor morgan freeman appearing before the crowds to say football could unite communities and countries. in the first match, qatar became the first host nation ever to lose its opening game at the tournament. ecuador beat them 2—0, with many people leaving the stadium before the game had even finished.

our correspondent shaimaa khalil watched the game and the opening ceremony with a group of qatari locals in doha's main market. she has more now. you can feel the buzz and the excitement here in the heart of doha — different languages being spoken, different flags, very animated fans. so far, the controversy has overshadowed the football in this world cup. but for so many here, especially the qatari crowd, this is the day they've been waiting for. this man works here in the market. he tells me this is a proud day. translation: i don't know how to describe how i feel. _ we've been waiting for this moment for 12 years. my small country is now the centre of the world. people of all religions and nationalities have gathered here. this is their country. they are all welcome here. it hasn't been smooth sailing for the gulf state.

qatar has come under a great deal of criticism, especially around its human rights record. but you wouldn't know it sitting among this group of locals. for them, this is a big day, notjust for their home country but the whole region. this world cup does not belong to qatar only. this belongs to all arabic and all muslim. our dream now, you can see it now. before, we have some difficult days and months, you know, but in our mind, we leave all this problem to one side and just we want to look forward to one world for the world cup. and now this is the moment. but the excitement soon turned into disappointment, with qatar easily beaten by ecuador 2—0 — the proud host country humbled on the football pitch.

one of the most contentious world cups in history is now under way, with the organisers hoping that the focus will shift to football. this small and hugely affluent gulf state still has a lot to prove, with thousands of fans arriving. qatar is walking a fine line between presenting itself on one of the world's biggest stages as an outward—looking, welcoming country and maintaining its cultural, religious and conservative identity. meanwhile, the captain of iran's world cup football team has controversially voiced concern about the political crisis in his country and called for change. speaking on the opening day of the tournament in qatar, ehsan hajsafi said conditions in his country are not right and the "people are not happy". the defender also expressed condolences to "all the grieving families" in iran as anti—government protests there continue. he added thatjust because the team

are playing in the tournament, that doesn't mean they should not be a voice for the iranian people. to other stories for you now. president biden has said the us "must not tolerate hate" after five people were shot dead in a gay nightclub in colorado. a 22—year—old suspect was arrested at the scene. our north america correspondent barbara plett usher reports. it was nearly midnight when the gunman walked into a dance party at club q. he was armed with a long rifle and started shooting immediately. two clubgoers quickly tackled him and stopped the killing. joshua thurman heard the gunshots. he took shelter in a dressing room with a drag queen performer. we heard everything, and all i could think about is...everything. my life... just everything. friends, family, loved ones. the suspect was named as 22—year—old

anderson lee aldrich. police are investigating whether this was a hate crime. a service in honour of the victims was joined by colorado's governorjared polis, who is gay. his husband also addressed the mourners. colorado should be a place where every person can live their life in peace, be who they are, love who they want to love, and we will settle for nothing less. this attack came on the eve of a day to remember transgender people killed in violent assaults, sharpening the grief of a community that feels under threat. barbara plett usher, bbc news, washington. to malaysia now, where the two main contenders to lead malaysia's next government have begun consultations, after saturday's election failed to produce an outright winner. the veteran opposition leader anwar ibrahim — whose coalition alliance has won

the largest number of seats, according to the election commission of malaysia — and the former prime minister muhyiddin yassin both said they could form a government with the help of other parties. malaysia's king has asked them to submit lists of their coalition partners by monday afternoon. our south east asia correspondent jonathan head has more. as expected, the results of this election were inconclusive, with none of the three big coalitions contesting it winning enough seats to form a government on their own and so we've seen furious negotiations, as they have tried to cobble together a coalition in time for the 2pm deadline set by malaysia's king. the former ruling party, umno, appears to have miscalculated badly in pushing for the election to be held now rather than next year, which is when the other parties wanted it, believing it had built up enough support to be able to regain the power that it lost at the last election. in the end, it got its worst election result ever,

just 30 seats for its coalition, as the conservative rural ethnic malays that are the bedrock of its support switched their allegiance to the perikatan nasional coalition made up of umno defectors and the hard—line conservative islamist party. and that coalition now says it's in the best position to form a government, that it has got other parties onside and will be able to do that. the veteran opposition politician anwar ibrahim was after probably his last chance to become prime minister. he led the pakatan harapan reformist coalition actually to win the most number of seats, so in theory, you'd think he could form a government. but none of the other parties appear to want to work with him. if he can't form a government, then we will see, probably given the age he's at, one of the giants of malaysian politics exiting the stage. that was jonathan head that wasjonathan head reporting on that story for us. this election has been dubbed as malaysia's "youth election", as millions of people voted for the first time after the country lowered

the voting age from 21 to 18. tharma pillai is the co—founder of undi18, a malaysian youth movement that successfully advocated constitutional amendment to reduce the minimum voting age. we were just telling you about. rate to have you on the programme, tharma. in your view how important has the youth vote been in these elections? . «a has the youth vote been in these elections? . ., has the youth vote been in these elections?— has the youth vote been in these elections? . ., ., elections? thanks for having me. i think it has — elections? thanks for having me. i think it has been _ elections? thanks for having me. i think it has been incredibly - think it has been incredibly important because of the implementation of the low voter edge along with automatic voter registration, you saw 5.8 million, which increase the total electorate by 40%. which increase the total electorate by a0%. in any measure, 40% increase is a huge change in democracy but even more important was that it increased the percentage of youth voters, and electorally in malaysia, we consider use category from 18—40 and this block of voters represents now 51% of the total number of

voters in malaysia, so essentially the youth vote was incredibly pivotal and incredibly important, but of course the big question that was there in the selection was, with the youth turn out? would they come up the youth turn out? would they come up to vote in the first place? i'm very happy to say that they did. the youth came out en masse. we had the highest turnout rate, highest turnout numbers in our elections in malaysian history, 50.5 million voters, compared to the previous election, 12 million, say massive increase in voters.— increase in voters. indeed. ican hear your— increase in voters. indeed. ican hear your enthusiasm, - increase in voters. indeed. i can hear your enthusiasm, that - increase in voters. indeed. i can hear your enthusiasm, that this | hear your enthusiasm, that this movement really did come to bear, but what was the important issue for young people who were voting in the selection, do you think?— selection, do you think? basically, exit olls selection, do you think? basically, exit polls and _ selection, do you think? basically, exit polls and the _ selection, do you think? basically, exit polls and the results, - selection, do you think? basically, exit polls and the results, it - selection, do you think? basically, exit polls and the results, it is - exit polls and the results, it is clear this was a referendum on corruption, referendum on the head

of the national party, because he was trying his best to form a government on his own and trying to secure power, in many speculate it is because he wanted to escape corruption charges for himself. so essentially many young voters voted against him. however, this is the challenge, right? malaysian youth voters, many of them are only progressive, but they're also huge block of conservative voters, so you can see this empowered both sides, the reformists and also the even more conservative. there is both side that benefited greatly from this anti—corruption wave. side that benefited greatly from this anti-corruption wave. yeah, we have not this anti-corruption wave. yeah, we have got a — this anti-corruption wave. yeah, we have got a hung _ this anti-corruption wave. yeah, we have got a hung parliament, - this anti-corruption wave. yeah, we | have got a hung parliament, though, at the moment. in terms of the instability and uncertainty ahead, particularfor instability and uncertainty ahead, particular for the economy, or young people to try to getjobs, frankly, and make a living for themselves about what using the future holds for them? i about what using the future holds for them? ~ ., , for them? i think for me, is incredibly — for them? i think for me, is incredibly concerning. - for them? i think for me, is - incredibly concerning. essentially a hung parliament means it is going to be very difficult to make decisions,

especially when you go into a tough economic situation, and we are facing a tough economic situation globally already, so i think that nick said a challenge. but the silver lining as we have had an example of the confidence and supply agreement before between the government and opposition to provide some level of stability. i do believe that might be a model that might be excluded, explored to ensure there is better governance debility make sure there are some decisions, especially in regards to subsidies, and all that economic stuff. . ., ., subsidies, and all that economic stuff. . . ., ., ~ subsidies, and all that economic stuff. ., ., ., ., ~ , ., subsidies, and all that economic stuff. . . ., ., ~ stuff. tharma pillai, thank you so much forjoining _ stuff. tharma pillai, thank you so much forjoining us _ stuff. tharma pillai, thank you so much forjoining us on _ stuff. tharma pillai, thank you so much forjoining us on the - much forjoining us on the programme. much forjoining us on the programme-— much forjoining us on the programme. much forjoining us on the rouramme. ., ~ ., ., you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we'll be hearing about us vice president kamala harris's visit to the philippines, a trip that could further raise tensions with china.

president kennedy was shot down and died almost immediately. the murder ofjohn kennedy is a disaster for the whole free world. he caught the imagination of the world, the first of a new generation of leaders. margaret thatcher is resigning as leader of the conservative party and prime minister. before leaving number 10 to see the queen, she told her cabinet, "it's a funny old world." angela merkel is germany's first woman chancellor, easily securing the majority she needed. attempts to fly a hot air - balloon had to be abandoned after a few minutes, _ but nobody seemed to mind very much. as one local comic put it, "it's not hot air we need, it's hard cash." l cuba has declared nine days of morning following the death of fidel castro at the age of 90. castro developed close ties with the soviet union in the 1960s. it was an alliance that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war with the cuban missile crisis.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm karishma vaswani in singapore. to ukraine now, where there's been renewed shelling at the site of europe's largest nuclear power plant there. 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. russia and ukraine have blamed each other for the shelling. meanwhile, a ukrainian female soldier who was fighting in the azovstal steel plant in mariupol before the city was taken by russian forces has told the bbc she saw people being electrocuted while she was a prisoner of war in russia. the bbc�*s olga malchevska has this report. this is alina before this year's russian invasion. the 24—year—old sergeant and her military dog, sonya, were new recruits in the bodyguard.

after russia attacked mariupol in february, alina joined other ukrainian military personnel in the azovstal steelworks. singing in this video taken in april, alina and her colleagues are sheltering in a bunker at the steelworks. there was huge russian bombardments for over a month. three weeks later, russia captured mariupol and ukrainian soldiers were forced to surrender. they boarded russian buses and lost connection with the world. alina disappeared forfive months, but she managed to survive. translation: the buses drove us i towards donetsk in occupied ukraine. we were taken to olenivka prison. we spent four and a half months there. then we were taken to russia. she was in olenivka prison during a deadly explosion, which took the lives of dozens of ukrainians.

weapons and forensic experts the bbc investigations team spoke to are convinced that russia killed the prisoners deliberately. russia denies that. translation: people - were screaming, dogs barking. the explosion was in the premises where the men were held around 500 metres from us. they were brought to our premises. around 64 guys, they had various injuries. our girls, prisoners of war, were treating them. alina says russian special forces were the most brutal. translation: there were 28 women in a cell which was - designed for six people. they would not give us food. they gave us just ten liters of water for up to three days for all of us. we had our eyes blindfolded and our hands tied and they could hit us. they were cruel with us. alina was one of over 100

ukrainian women exchanged in a prisoner swap in october. she calls this day the happiest in her life. despite everything alina went through, she does not want to leave the army. more prisoners were swapped in november, but ukrainian officials estimate there are still hundreds in russian captivity and there is no way to know how they're being treated. olga malchevska, bbc news. the us vice president kamala harris is visiting the phillipines, as part of her diplomatic tour around the region. she's expected to meet with president ferdinand marcoer in manila, then head to palawan island — on the edge of the disputed south china sea — to hold meetings with civil groups. her trip could raise tensions with beijing, given palawan island's proximity to the disputed spratly islands. for more on all of this, we can speak to philippines political analyst and author richard heydarian, joining us from manila.

it is great to get you on the programme, richard. just to start outwith, this visit is coming off that meeting between presidents biden and the chinese president xi jinping in bali, at the g20. how do you think this will be viewed from the chinese?— the chinese? definitely, we got a fraaile the chinese? definitely, we got a fragile detente _ the chinese? definitely, we got a fragile detente in _ the chinese? definitely, we got a fragile detente in bali _ the chinese? definitely, we got a fragile detente in bali between i the chinese? definitely, we got a l fragile detente in bali between the two superpowers, butjust days later, i think we are going to have a test of that, both president biden and president xi palmist to manage their competition. we will see an exhibit of that as kamala harris, vice president kamala harris, does not only visit manila but goes to palawan, which is disputed land in the south china sea, near spratly, but this happening amid the revitalisation of the us and philippines military alliance. the americans want to get more access to

key basis, including in palawan, so this is notjust similar. it has many of the occasions for america's ability to project power in the south china sea, exactly where china is also expanding its footprint. richard, you think the visible be successful, then, given what you've described is possibly some of the aims of kamala harris's visit? definitely, this marks the culmination of a charm offensive by divided administration towards the new filipino presidents. —— by the biden administration. the reality is, as far as president marcos junior is concerned, he is not consuming the western bashing style of his predecessor, rodrigo duterte, but what he's doing is more closely with his father used to do at the height of the cold war, which to keep a strong alliance with the united states, just as he tried to reach out to china and other alternative powers. marcosjunior is

also fairly to china just like duterte, but he seems to be relighting a increase in the national mac bilateral alliance. —— the bilateral alliance... after the visit of the us secretary of state antony blinken to manila a few months ago. i think there will be a formalisation of a white house visit by marcosjunior sometime next year, after kamala harris's visits manila today. after kamala harris's visits manila toda . ., , _ today. something that struck me by what the chinese _ today. something that struck me by what the chinese leader _ today. something that struck me by what the chinese leader had - today. something that struck me by what the chinese leader had to - today. something that struck me by what the chinese leader had to say | today. something that struck me by| what the chinese leader had to say a few days ago at the apex summit, saying the asia—pacific is no one's back yard, yet consistently we are seeing american officials had out to southeast asia, aren't we? how do you think countries in this region like the philippines have to balance that? i like the philippines have to balance that? 4' like the philippines have to balance that? ~ , ., i: , ., , like the philippines have to balance that? ~ i: , ., that? i think it is a 50 shades of balance, that? i think it is a 50 shades of balance. as _ that? i think it is a 50 shades of balance, as far _ that? i think it is a 50 shades of balance, as far as _ that? i think it is a 50 shades of balance, as far as south - that? i think it is a 50 shades of balance, as far as south asian l balance, as far as south asian countries are concerned, but let's

not forget the philippines has a treaty alliance with america, and the philippines, its relevance is not only in the south china sea question, which by the way the philippines has a lot of dispute with china and other countries in the region there, but also because of taiwan. taiwan was next dozen chores are only 100 nautical miles away from a number of philippine bases which by the way could also be opened up to american troops in the event of contingency and kinetic warfare in that area, so the flipping want to have a robust relation with all powers, as they put it, manila, friend to all, and means to none, but rarely is there is an alliance with america and there's a lot of contentions between china and the us not only in the south china sea but also over taiwan any —— and he felt been directing the love that. -- and he felt been directing the love that. . . , ., ., love that. richard heydarian, philippines — love that. richard heydarian, philippines political— love that. richard heydarian, philippines political analyst i love that. richard heydarian, l philippines political analyst and author, thank you forjoining me. 50

shades of balance, that is something i would definitely remember, but that brings us to the end of newsday for this hour. thanks for me and the team. do stay with bbc news for the latest headlines. hello there. over the next few hours, we're going to see some frost and fog forming. it is going to be a chilly start to our monday morning. some of that will be slow to lift away. and then as we go through the day, some wet and windy weather will start to dominate from the southwest, but temperatures could be as low as minus four or minus five degrees in a few spots first thing this morning. the wet weather, though, starting to show its hand and that will gradually drift its way north and east as we go through the day. not really getting into northern england and scotland, however. gusts of winds in excess of 70 to 80 miles an hour first thing. so a very stormy start to the day in the southwest. some of that rain really torrential as it pushes its way steadily northeast, moving

into northern ireland, across parts of wales, the midlands, eventually into southeast england and east anglia as we go through the afternoon. that means northern england and the bulk of scotland after that cold, frosty and foggy start will see some sunshine coming through. a few isolated showers and where it's cool to higher ground, some of these could be wintry in flavour. six or seven degrees the high here, top temperatures of 11 celsius perhaps. but it looks likely that we see the cooler air clinging onto the far north of scotland. further south, we'll see a few weak weather fronts and producing some milder showery weather first thing on tuesday morning. the showers in the north of scotland still have the tendency perhaps to be of rain, sleet and snow. elsewhere on tuesday not a bad day. dry with some sunshine coming through. a few scattered showers. temperatures around 6 to 11 celsius. so on the cool side, really. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, the next batch

of wet and windy weather starts to push in from the atlantic, the isobars once again squeezing together and the rain could be quite heavy at times. this time it is going to push its way into the north of england and across to scotland. so there will be some more rain potentially for the northeast of scotland, maybe some snow to higher ground here. behind it, we'll see sunny spells and a few scattered showers being driven on along those west coasts. again, those temperatures around 9 to 12 celsius. it looks likely that we will see slightly drier weather thursday into friday before more wet and windy weather returns into the weekend.
