walk out of a key meeting. 30 flood warnings have been issued across the uk, as storm bert brings high winds, rain and snow. a massive airstrike on a multi—storey building in the heart of lebanon's capital kills at least 15 people, with 30 dead in other attacks. once rivals on the court, former tennis player andy murray will coach novak djokovic at the australian open in 2025. hello, i'm karin giannone — welcome to the programme. the host of the un climate summit in azerbaijan has urged delegates to bridge their divisions and strike a deal. a plenary session at cop29 has now agreed on a global market to buy and sell carbon credits. but there's still a fierce dispute over the key question

of how much richer nations should pay poorer countries, to help them deal with the impact of climate change. some delegates have walked away from the meeting in baku and the talks, which have already overrun, could collapse. from baku, here's our climate editor, justin 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 are not being 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. 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. are you confident 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 than a bad deal. 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, say poorer countries. this is what they always do. they break us at the last minute. they push it 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. live now to our climate reporter, esme stallard, who's at cop 29 in baku. it's been a roller—coaster here. as you heard from justin, earlier, an island state walked

out, saying they were frustrated at what has been proposed, a new pot of money for developing countries to help them deal with climate change, but the cop president called all the countries back into the room behind me and they started talks on the side and at the end he said, we are going to come back in a couple of hours, get back in the negotiating room, so they have gone to talk things through further. i havejust come gone to talk things through further. i have just come out of a press conference with the brazil delegation and they said those countries which had initially walked out had been brought back to the table. their chief negotiator said it took them by surprise, clearly a sign of the frustrations here, but there is a glimmer of hope that we might get a deal in the early hours. that is a significant bit of news, that the delegates who walked out have now returned to the negotiating table for that matter of how much money should go to poor nations from richer nations. very late, looking at

the time, after 10pm. the prospect now of right through the night, for the talks to continue? we are more than 2a hours now past when it was meant to end. there is something in this un process that effectively 66% of countries must be present for anything past to stand, so we are hearing that some delegates like myself are booked on flights tomorrow morning so, if it goes past that point, we might not have enough countries in the room to get the deal, so they are very much against the clock. we are talking about the figures between what the poorer countries want and what the richer nations are prepared to offer. when i last looked, that was $250 billion a year.

it has been called the finance problem, and that clearly is the issue. it's about the amount of money which countries will put forward that $250 billion by 2035, which was rejected outright by the developing countries as a joke. we saw a copy of the document that effectively caused the walk—out and only 300 they have put forward, which they were clearly not happy with. we may get more money on that but we are not sure. the key issue is notjust are not sure. the key issue is not just about money but who was giving it under the paris agreement, it is richer nations who must in this draft document that we saw, who made money in the last few years, like saudi arabia, may also contribute. that's a red line for poorer countries, and other details. you mentioned that many delegates have got planes to

catch tomorrow morning. they couldn't afford to have to rebook their members on other flights because they simply don't have the finances. what happens if there is no agreement? we haven't been in this situation for a very long time to dip there are a couple of things that could happen. we could go again next time, it happened 25 years ago in 2000, but it's clearfrom happened 25 years ago in 2000, but it's clear from the press conference that brazil really want a deal, so i think they are trying to put the thought of delaying it aside. i know we are focusing on how much money goes to poorer nations. what has been agreed? what has come out of the last two and a bit weeks? there are a couple of things they are talking about, much as

finance. something which was agreed in the main hall behind me about an hour and half ago was a key part of the paris agreement that never got a great ten years ago and countries have been talking about it it's something called carbon markets or richer countries that want to reduce their emissions and they can invest in a project overseas in a developing nation that reduces or takes greenhouse emissions out of the atmosphere and count it towards their own target. there was cheering and clapping in the room. that is a sign of how much energy and effort over the years has gone into this and also a sign of some of the tiredness today that we managed to get anything agreed. a few small wins. thank you for bringing up—to—date on all the aspects of what's going on. it's overrun in baku. you can access

the breaking news on the bbc news website or app, but the countries which walked out have been brought back to the negotiating table, an unprecedented scene of many poorer nations walking out of the negotiations in those talks with richer countries over how much money should go to poorer nations to help them with climate change challenges. it is on a knife edge over whether its agreement on that massive issue at cop29 in azerbaijan. storm bert is sweeping across the uk, with strong winds, heavy rain and snow causing disruption on the roads and on the railways. there are weather warnings covering much of the uk, with some areas braced for more snow, ice, rain or high winds, in some cases until tomorrow morning. five adults and five children had to be rescued from a house near llangollen in north wales,

following a landslide. and a man died when a tree fell on his car in hampshire. it's not clear if the tree came down during the strong winds caused by storm bert. olivia richwald sent this report from pateley bridge in north yorkshire. storm bert announced its arrival is with winds that battered lyme regis. a man in his 60s died after a tree fell on a car in winchester in hampshire. heavy snow made roads treacherous for drivers, this was renfrewshire in scotland, and saw bus services disrupted across the central belt. heavy rain caused flooding in parts of northern ireland including this railway line. five adults and five children had to be rescued from a property after a landslide in north wales where heavy rain and flooding also led this river to burst its banks. newcastle airport was badly affected with some flights cancelled, diverted and delayed.

these pictures were taken from inside the airport. and it has been a day to stay in if you could. these extremes do seem to be coming more frequently but one things for sure, right across the country today, farmers are going to be out tending their livestock. power outages affecting tens of thousands of homes in northern ireland, wales, england and scotland. it has been pretty tough out there. the weather conditions this morning were the most challenging with the snow, quite heavy in areas, difficulty getting access to some of the locations where we needed to carry out repairs. that's improved through the day as the rain has melted quite a lot of the snow so that's improved. the snow which fell across the north of england was inches deep, and is now rapidly melting so the concern now turns to flooding, with several environment agency flood warnings already in place. in addition, there are yellow warnings from the met office

for snow, rain and wind, affecting large swathes of the country. disruption is likely to continue overnight and tomorrow with some weather warnings in place until nine o'clock tomorrow morning. storm bert has been described as a multi—hazard event and the advice in the worst—affected areas is to check before travelling. but if you're heading out, make sure you're at least dressed for it. olivia richwald, bbc news. here's bbc weather presenter elizabeth rizzini with the latest on the storm and what we can expect through the next few days a lot more rain to come and strong, gusty winds. we saw the snow earlier on, so not an issue any more, the snow turned back to rain quickly. there are still in force a number of flood warnings and flood

alerts. there is all the detail on the bbc weather website, but more rain forecast overnight tonight and through the day tomorrow and, for some places, we will stay severe gales so, for north iris—t coast, western scotland and northern ireland, gusty winds through the day tomorrow, up to 75 mph, and for channel coast tomorrow, windier than today, so we could see gusts up to 65 mph, enough to cause some damage. some sunshine developing and it stays mild for the year, so a sharp contrast with how cold it was early in the week. and tomorrow, the wind speeds in certain parts of the country, is the worst rain over? not for some places. for the

far south, not for some places. for the farsouth, it's not for some places. for the far south, it's going to be worse tomorrow, because the rainfall totals are now starting to mount up. for south—west england, central southern england, to parts of east anglia and the midlands, still a lot more rain to come. also parts of southern scotland and eastern scotland, more rain to come. for western clients, western scotland and northern ireland, there are more showers digging in, and it's staying very windy through the next 2a hours. how long until northern ireland could say it's all over? certainly not tomorrow but, as we head into monday, the scent of low pressure across the far north of the uk, so staying very windy across parts of scotland, northern ireland, perhaps northern england, and there will be some rain in parts of scotland but, further south, for much of thinking that wales, the wins will be

lighter, still some showers, and a definite improvement into monday, but feeling cooler. for all of us, by tuesday, it's over. but it will start to feel cooler again. lebanon's health ministry says at least 45 people have been killed in israeli attacks across the country. the israeli military said it had struck several sites linked to hezbollah over the past 2a hours. in beirut, at least 15 people were killed and more than 60 others injured in an attack that flattened an eight—storey residential building. and, near the city of baalbek in the east, 30 others were killed, including a mother and herfour children. there has been no comment from the israeli military. in a separate development, it's being reported that a spokesperson for hamas' armed wing is saying a female israeli hostage was killed in an area of northern gaza struck by israeli forces. from beirut, hugo bachega reports.

a crater in central beirut after a massive israeli airstrike. 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—storey 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. 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, if you see it. ok, one person is hiding here. should they destroy three buildings with the people 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. let's show you what is going on in tel aviv. a regular occurrence on a saturday night since those 200 hostages were taken hostage in gaza by hamas, and the protests have continued week after week. they are largely against benjamin netanyahu's handling of the war and the fact that there has

been no serious attempt to bring the remaining 97 hostages... injerusalem and hostages... in jerusalem and thousands hostages... injerusalem and thousands of others at locations around israel, demanding that the israeli government struck a deal to free the hostages that have been held by hamas in gaza since october to 2023. they have been banging drums and giving speeches and waving banners and flags, because the families of the children and young people who have been captured in gaza, along with many others, are longing for a deal. some of the 97 are known to have been killed so their families are waiting for their bodies to be released by hamas in gaza, but benjamin netanyahu says he wants to prolong this war for his own reasons, says he wants to prolong this warfor his own reasons, and they want a ceasefire with hamas so that their loved ones can go home. so that is tel

aviv, this happening in other cities across israel, thousands calling for an end to the war in gaza and the return of the hostages, captured on the 7th of october. a hospital has been badly hit on gaza's northern edge wounding medical staff and damaging equipment, palestinian medics have said. the director of kamal adwan hospital says he believes the israeli bombardment seems to be aimed at forcing medical staff to evacuate — something they had previously refused to do. israel's military says it is trying to prevent hamas fighters from regrouping in the area and denies it's attempting to depopulate the strip. unrwa, that's the un agency responsible for providing aid to palestinians in the area, says the northern part of the strip has been under siege for more than 50 days and says 17 of its shelters have been hit since the siege began.

there are no "red lines" when it comes to support for ukraine — and president zelensky could fire french long range missiles into russia. that's according to the french foreign ministerjean—noel barrot. he's been speaking to laura kuenssberg in an interview to be broadcast on sunday. we will support ukraine as intensely and as long as necessary. why? because it is our security that is at stake. and each time the russian army progresses by one square kilometre, the threat gets one square kilometre closer to europe. us president—elect donald trump has met nato secretary general mark rutte in florida. in a brief statement, the military alliance confirmed the meeting — saying the men discussed a range of global security issues facing the transatlantic alliance. the incoming us president has been critical of nato, complaining america pays too much towards the organisation's costs.

here's bbc north american correspondent rowan bridge, who says very little detail has come out of the meeting it was literally a three sentence statement after the meeting, and a single photo. i think there is an element of statecraft in all this. nato is aware thatjoe biden is still the president and they don't want to annoy the white house too much or overshadow him, even though donald trump is the incoming president. he isn't in that office now and i think there is an element of not wanting to annoy the current resident of the white house. also, it is noticeable there is no readout of what topics they discussed and i think that's because there are stock dividing lines between nato and
