a finance deal reached at the cop29 summit to help less—developed countries tackle climate change has been bitterly criticised for failing to meet the scale of the challenge. days of negotiations in azerbaijan, that extended the talks by more than 30 hours, saw richer countries agree to raise their contribution to $300 billion a year by 2035. just hours before, it looked like the talks were on the verge of collapse after a group representing underdeveloped and lower lying nations walked out of the conference room. they eventually came back to the negotiating table, but were angered by the offer from wealthier nations, which was far short of the $500 billion they wanted. from baku, here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. applause. it was in the early hours of this morning when the key text was agreed to huge applause from the room.

this deal was hard —fought. at one stage, the talks looked set to collapse. representatives of dozens of the world's least developed countries stormed out of a key meeting. we've just walked out. we came here to this cop for a fair deal. we feel we haven't been heard and there's a deal to be made and we are not being consulted. at the same time, there was an effort by a group of fossil fuel—rich countries, led by saudi arabia, to water down a promise made at last year's cop conference to transition away from fossil fuels. the final deal here includes both a $300 billion a year commitment to helping developing countries tackle climate change and that strong language on cutting emissions. i'm very pleased that we've got this deal through. it's the right thing for britain. for speeding up the clean energy transition, which is good for britain in that it will help protect us

against climate change, and that's the right thing to do, and it will also help generatejobs and growth for people in britain. it's an 11th hour deal at the 11th hour for climate and for keeping 1.5 degrees alive. it's the right thing to do for britain and the right thing for the world. some people are saying this deal isn't generous enough, that developed nations are dodging the debt they owe the developing world. others are saying it shows that, despite the divisions, despite donald trump threatening to pull america out of the process, the world can come together in this cooperative un effort to tackle the existential threat of climate change. justin rowlatt, bbc news, baku. let's speak to the financial times climate correspondent attracta mooney who's in baku. thank you forjoining us on bbc

news. talk us through how this $300 billion figure was reached, and also why it falls short of the $1.3 trillion that developing countries were looking for.— looking for. the deal was reached _ looking for. the deal was reached after _ looking for. the deal was reached after about - looking for. the deal was reached after about two i looking for. the deal was - reached after about two weeks of intensive negotiations. it was a pretty hard fight. developed countries had argued that they simply don't have the cash, their budgets are stretched by the pandemic and by inflation, and also that the political climate is particularly difficult to try and pitch providing more money to the developing world when their own economies are struggling. at the same time, economists have said that the developed world needs that 1.3 trillion in climate financing to help them transition their economies and adapt to a warming temperature and a warming temperature and a warming world. the gap between what has been agreed is that rich nations will lead the way in providing at least 300

million per year by 2035, and that they will build a bridging mechanism to try and fill that gap between the, up to the 1.3 trillion that is needed. find gap between the, up to the 1.3 trillion that is needed.- trillion that is needed. and it is their expectation - trillion that is needed. and it is their expectation that - trillion that is needed. and it is their expectation that the l is their expectation that the 300 billion figure will actually be delivered to developing countries? money pledged already has not been paid so far. pledged already has not been paid so far-— paid so far. so, that is the big concern _ paid so far. so, that is the big concern of— paid so far. so, that is the big concern of many - paid so far. so, that is the - big concern of many developing nations. coming into these talks, many developing nations were worried that whatever was part of the macro promise would not be delivered. rich nations were late reaching the last goal, and that meant that the trust was really not there between the two groups. it took a lot of diplomacy to get everyone together and it really did look like the talks were going to collapse, right until the second gavel came down last night. the second gavel came down last niuht. , , , the second gavel came down last niuht, , , ., the second gavel came down last niuht. , , , ., night. just give us a sense of the mood —

purses, and the developing world feel that they have not got enough cash. it feels like nobody is particularly happy, but at least there was a deal. at least there was a deal. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. israel's government says an israeli rabbi who went missing in the united arab emirates has been found dead. the office of the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said zvi kogan, who was last seen on thursday, was murdered. rabbi kogan represented the 0rthodoxjewish group, chabad, in the uae. israel has vowed to hunt down the suspected killers. let's speak to our security correspondent, frank gardener. frank, what can you tell us about this case?— frank, what can you tell us about this case? well, this is about this case? well, this is a murky and _ about this case? well, this is a murky and alarming - about this case? well, this is a murky and alarming case i about this case? well, this is - a murky and alarming case where it appears that this rabbi, who managed to deliver a supermarket in the uae, he was abducted on thursday and his

wife, who is american, reported him missing and it took some time for the emirate authorities to react to this, but they have now found both his abandoned car and his body. the suspicion here is that he was abducted, taken away, possibly driven across the border into 0man, but the suspects are three uzbek nationals, according to israeli media, who are reported to have fled to turkey. so israel has said that not only do they mourn this and condemn it as a vile anti—semitic attack, in the words of the president, but they have vowed to hunt down they have vowed to hunt down the perpetrators of this. i think it is a worrying development because, you know, for security in the united arab emirates, the wider gulf, but also for israel because there is something called the abraham accords which was brokered by the then president trump, so

from 2020 onwards, the uae and bahrain established full diplomatic relations with israel, which meant that terrorists could visit from both countries, but now there are huge tensions because of the war in gaza and now the war in lebanon —— tourists. that is meant there has been some demonstrations outside the israeli embassy in abu dhabi, for example, but also outside the supermarket that this man, zvi kogan, managed. iran is also a suspect in all of this because the israeli authorities suspect that he may have been under surveillance by iranians agents in the uae.— under surveillance by iranians agents in the uae. frank, the israeli government _ agents in the uae. frank, the israeli government is - agents in the uae. frank, the israeli government is also - israeli government is also investigating the killing of an israeli hostage in gaza. tell us what is happening there. so this us what is happening there. 5r this is a separate incident. if you remember on october seven

last year, during and after that massive hamas lead raid into southern israel, around 250 men, women and children were dragged across the border into gaza and turned into hostages. quite a large number of them were released under a deal, a ceasefire deal brokered by qatar in november last year, but around 100 still remain. many are dead, but many are still thought to be alive. yesterday, hamas, which is a proscribed terrorist organisation by many countries, but they have been the de facto government in the gaza strip, they released a video which purported to show a dead hostage, a woman. they said she was killed by actions of the israeli military in the gaza strip in the north, where there is still a lot of fighting and air strikes going on. there are horrendous casualties figures there, almost every day we hear of air strikes where a lot of

civilians have been killed by israeli air strikes in the north of the gaza strip. they produced this video and the idf, the israel defense forces, say they are investigating and they are in contact with the family, but they don't have the body so it is hard for them to know, and they have warned that sometimes hamas plays psychological tricks to try and demoralise the enemy. it is something that we have been quite cautious about because there is no, as yet official confirmation from the israeli side whether this person has been killed, or even a name released. been killed, or even a name released-— been killed, or even a name released. . ~ . ~' , ., released. frank, thank you. our security correspondent, - released. frank, thank you. our security correspondent, frank. security correspondent, frank gardner there. meanwhile, the lebanon's health ministry says 3,670 peple have now been killed in israeli attacks since october 2023, with more than 50 people killed on saturday. in beirut, at least 20 people were killed and more than 60 others were injured in a strike which flattened an eight—storey residential building. and near the city of

baalbek in the east, 15 others were killed, including a mother and herfour children. the israeli military says it's targeting hezbollah facilities and fighters. 0ur middle east correspondent, lina sinjab, is in beirut and spoke about the frustration of the people caught up in the strike. well, there is a lot of anger and fear here because most of the attacks are hitting residential areas outside hezbollah—controlled areas. it seems that israelis are in the hunt for personnel related to hezbollah, regardless of their ranking. and people, civilians, are being killed. the story yesterday, 20 people were killed while they were asleep at 4am in the morning. there was no warning before. more than 60 injured in that one incident in that one incident in central beirut, in addition to many other strikes outside, in the south. so, there is increasing fear this

conflict is not ending any time soon and you cannotjust hunt down a whole organisation and just keep killing civilians while you're trying to trace members hezbollah. that is how people are feeling here and feeling so much anger that they are caught in fire. and, lina, where do we stand with the latest efforts to reach a ceasefire between israel and hezbollah? lots of diplomatic efforts are going on right now. the high representative of the european union forforeign affairs is meeting with the prime minister. and we hear that he is also going to meet with the shia leader, speaker of the parliament, nahib berry. they have also been doing lots of round talks with the americans. but, you know, there is still speculation on when a ceasefire is going to come into effect. the fear though, they feel that the american administration, this is going to wait until the new trump

administration start office in january, so probably the israeli government would continue hunting down hezbollah and killing many civilians until then. and killing many civilians untilthen. it and killing many civilians until then.— and killing many civilians untilthen. . , , ., until then. it has been a while since we _ until then. it has been a while since we spoke _ until then. it has been a while since we spoke about - until then. it has been a while since we spoke about the - since we spoke about the humanitarian impact in lebanon, following israel �*s invasion of the country. just talk us through the impactful people there in lebanon at the moment. you know, it is area after area and building after building being destroyed, so imagine the scale of people running for safety who have lost their homes and have lost their own safety, so they are in shelters across the country. there are more than 1000 shelters now, some of them are schools turned into housing facilities. some are renting, some are staying with theirfamilies. 0ver with their families. over 1,200,000 with theirfamilies. over 1,200,000 are now displaced, and probably the number is much higher. so this is a really terrible situation, especially because people don't see when and how they are going to be

able to go back home, when is this conflict is going to stop, and who is going to help them rebuild the destroyed neighbourhood and homes? fiur neighbourhood and homes? our bbc neighbourhood and homes? 0ur bbc correspondent in beirut. the polls have just opened in romania's presidential election which has been dominated by concerns about inflation, emigration, corruption and the war in neighbouring ukraine. while more than a dozen names appear on the ballot paper, there are only four or five serious contenders. polls suggest that prime minister marcel ciolacu of the social democratic party is the favourite but will probably have to face a run—off vote. the president in romania has considerable power and influence, especially over foreign policy. the incumbent, klaus iohannis, has already served two terms, and cannot run again. 0ur central europe correspondent, nick thorpe, who is in budapest gave us this update. romania has the longest border of any eu country with ukraine. it is also a very important base for nato on the southeast

or eastern flank of nato. there have been explosions when russians have bombed two ports on the river danube, where the common border between ukraine and romania, and also romania is an important country in terms is an impo
