6:00 pm
walk out of a key meeting. thirty flood warnings have been issued across the uk, as storm bert brings high winds, rain and snow. a massive air strike on a multi—storey building in the heart of lebanon's capital kills at least 15 people. another 60 are injured. once rivals on the court, former tennis player andy murray will coach novak djokovic at the australian open in 2025. hello and welcome. cop29 president mukhtar babayev has urged all nations to "bridge the remaining divide" between them, saying, "time is not on our side and i ask you to now step up your engagement with one another." talks at the cop 29 climate summit in azerbaijan are at risk of collapsing,
6:01 pm
after representatives from some poorer countries walked out. delegates from developing countries aren't happy with the offer of 300 billion dollars a year — tabled late in the summit by richer nations. they say more money is needed to deal with the climate crisis. from baku, here's our climate editorjustin rowlatt. we're a day over the deadline for an agreement, and the representatives of dozens of the world's least developed countries storm out of a key meeting. we've just walked out. we came here to this cop for a fair deal. we feel that we haven't been heard. and there's a deal to be made, and we have not been consulted. there is real anger here. we need to hold the historic polluters accountable for the crisis they have caused. and we cannot let the great escape that they are actually planning in baku. baku will be remembered as the place that betrayed the world.
6:02 pm
john, how's it going? poor countries want more cash. richer countries say they'll keep on talking. i'm hoping this is the storm before the calm. you think that might be the case? well, we're going to keep working and see whether we can pull it back together. but cash is hard to come by in developed countries like the uk, which face cost of living crises. they're saying half a trillion minimum or they won't do a deal. they're saying no deal is better. in the end parties will have to decide the deal that is offered and whether it's an acceptable deal or not. currently, developed countries pay $100 billion a year. energy secretary ed miliband says the new offer of 300 billion by 2035 is generous. not when you take into account inflation. into account inflation say poorer countries. this is what they always do. they break us at the last minute. you know, they push it
6:03 pm
and push it and push it until our negotiators leave, until we're tired, until we're delusional, from not eating, from not sleeping. and all the while, the clock keeps on ticking. the issue now is time. these talks have already overrun by a day and a half, and ministers have started to fly home now. decisions can only be made at these cop conferences, with two thirds of the delegates in the room, unless an agreement can be made in the next few hours, these talks will collapse. that would be a huge blow to the global effort to tackle climate change. countries need to make their carbon cutting commitments for the next decade, early next year, and without a finance deal, they're unlikely to be ambitious. justin rowlatt, bbc news, baku. more on that later in the bulletin. storm bert is sweeping across the uk, with strong winds, heavy rain and snow causing disruption on the roads

6:11 pm
an attack that happened without warning at 4:00 in the morning when many here were sleeping. hours later, a heavy smell of explosives was still in the air. bunker buster bombs were apparently used in the attack, and one eight story residential building collapsed. this is the site that was hit, and there's still a massive operation happening here to remove the rubble. there's a heavy security presence as well. this attack was so powerful that it was heard and felt across the city. there has been no reaction from the israeli military. reports say this was an attempt to kill a senior hezbollah official who is believed to have survived. it's a very horrible explosion happened. all of the windows, the glass are all over me and my wife and my children. my home now is a battlefield,
6:12 pm
if you see it. okay one person is hiding here. should destroy three buildings with the people are sleeping inside? across lebanon, israeli airstrikes have intensified despite new efforts for a ceasefire. israel calls it a strategy of negotiations under fire and says the attacks will continue. hugo bachega, bbc news, beirut. some more detail on that claim by hamas that female is really hostage has been killed during the israeli bombardment northern gaza. her identity has not been revealed but the group added another femur hostage who was with her is in danger. so this follows months of failed attempts to secure the release of hostages under a ceasefire deal that just does of hostages under a ceasefire deal thatjust does not come for that but these people again on a saturday night, supporters, relatives, loved ones of the hostages still in captivity in gaza with hamas
6:13 pm
are desperate for a ceasefire deal. they're very critical of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who has not gone about getting a ceasefire deal or shown much interest in that taking place. they say that taking place. they say that he is determined to keep the war going because it is in his interests particularly with his interests particularly with his legal woes in israel itself, a criminal trial ahead. but these people have been protesting week after week around the country and here they are in tel aviv as we look at them in hostage square. and protesters have been gathering in towns and cities all across israel. a desperate call in for a hostage release deal and a ceasefire to the war in gaza. there are 97 hostages known to still be in captivity after the hamas attack last year believed to be held in gaza and disbelieve that 3a of them may
6:14 pm
have been killed. but the idf has not confirmed nor denied those claims by hamas military wing of hamas, that a femur hostage was recently killed in the northern gaza strip. because of an israeli strike there. so that is something that we will still find out and will bring you the very latest on that but that is the scene very will bring you the very latest on that but that is the scene in tel aviv again this saturday in tel aviv again this saturday evening. evening. us president—elect us president—elect donald trump has met nato secretary general mark donald trump has met nato secretary general mark rutte in florida. rutte in florida. in a brief statement, in a brief statement, the military alliance the military alliance confirmed the meeting — confirmed the meeting — saying the men discussed saying the men discussed a range of global security a range of global security issues facing the transatlantic issues facing the transatlantic alliance. alliance. the incoming us president has the incoming us president has been critical of nato, been critical of nato, complaining america pays too complaining america pays too much towards the much towards the organisation's costs. organisation's costs. let's speak to our north let's speak to our north america correspondent, america correspondent, rowan bridge, who's in rowan bridge, who's in washington. washington. how much detail is coming out how much detail is coming out
6:15 pm
about what these men spoke about what these men spoke about? ., , ., , about? virtually none is the short answer. _ about? virtually none is the short answer. it _ about? virtually none is the short answer. it was - about? virtually none is the| short answer. it was literally a three sentence statement released after the meeting and a single photograph. i think there is an element of statecraft in all this. nato is aware thatjoe biden are still the president and they do not want to annoy the white house too much or overshadow him even though donald trump is the incoming president, he is not now in the office and i think there's an element of not wanting to annoy the current resident of the white house. and also i think it is notable that there was no readout of what topics they discussed or where depositions wear. i think that's because there are some well known and start dividing lines between nato and donald trump over ukraine policy for example by donald trump has been critical about the amount of aid going to ukraine. talked about being able to end the in 24 about being able to end the in 2a hours, talking about that.
6:16 pm
and nato not commenting on that. and also a row over the funding of nato with donald trump being critical of member states who are not pulling their weight as he sees it and on the campaign trail he talked about how he would not support nato members who did not pay their way if they were attacked by russia which is a kind of fundamental building block of the policy of nato, that an attack on one state is an attack on one state is an attack on one state is an attack on all.— attack on one state is an attack on all. ., ., ., ~ , ., attack on all. rowan, thank you very much- _ there are no red lines when it comes to support for ukraine — and president zelensky

square kilometre, the threat gets one square kilometre closer to europe. security agencies in the philippines have stepped up safety protocols after vice president sara duterte made a threat to president ferdinand marcos junior�*s life. speaking at an early morning news conference, the vice president said she would have the president assassinated if she herself were killed, saying she'd already contacted a hitman about killing him and his wife. our asia editor michael bristow gave us this update. first of all, i think it's worth noting that this is quite an extraordinary statement. we're talking about two of the most senior politicians in the philippines, the vice president saying she's going to assassinate the president. really extraordinary kind of comments from her. why is she doing it? these two people were together, they were elected in
6:18 pm
2022 on a joint ticket. she was part of the government of ferdinand marcos, but they appear to have fallen out. and this is just the latest indication of that falling out, although quite a significant remark, as i mentioned a few moments ago. so they also come from quite long lasting political families in the philippines. the philippines is governed by political dynasties, and these are from a couple of those multi—generational politicians, across generations. and what it appears to be is a kind of manoeuvring ahead of midterm elections next year for parliament and ahead of presidential elections in 2028. it appears that these two camps are manoeuvring to put themselves in a position so it's more about politics than an actual threat. but as you indicated there, the presidential security team are taking this seriously. they say, well, we have to take any threat against the president's life seriously, and i'm sure they do.
6:19 pm
and what is it likely to lead to politically? i mean, they can't trust each other if language like this is being used. yeah. i mean, it's worth remembering that in the philippines in the past, there has been a lot of colourful language used by the politicians. sara duterte, the vice president, is the daughter of rodrigo duterte. he was the previous president and he was known for his colourful language, his really outlandish statements, claims of even killing people. and so it's not unheard of that we have this kind of language in the philippines. and in fact, some commentators are saying this might actually boost her popularity ahead of presidential elections in a few years' time, instead of what you might expect, doing the opposite, and people being disgusted and reacting against what she's saying. so there is a little bit of context here. you've got to remember that a lot of this kind of language is used in the philippines. but even so, even in that context, this is quite
6:20 pm
extraordinary language. a group of teenagers from wakefield this year set themselves a challenge to reduce the amount of time they spend on their phones. many were using their mobiles for ten hours a day, playing games or scrolling on social media. for these teenagers, a six—month digital detox has made a major difference to their lives. as amy garcia reports. ijust i just wanted to ijust wanted to get better at keeping away from my phone. it keeping away from my phone. it has a choke on everyone especially the younger generation. it especially the younger generation.— especially the younger generation.- especially the younger generation. especially the younger aeneration. , , ., generation. it is trying to get control. generation. it is trying to get control- in — generation. it is trying to get control. in april— generation. it is trying to get control. in april the - generation. it is trying to get control. in april the students took on the challenge to try to reduce the amount of time that they were on their smartphones.
