poorer countries say it comes nowhere near addressing their environmental challenges storm bert is continuing to batter parts of the uk for a second day, with wales being badly hit this morning. israel's government says an israeli rabbi missing in the united arab emirates has been found dead. and — max verstappen finishes fifth at the las vegas grand prix — winning his fourth consecutive formula one world title. hello, you're watching bbc news. nearly 200 countries at the un's climate talks in azerbaijan have reached a deal that offers developing countries $300 billion — that's £240 billion — per year by 2035 to help them

fight climate change. negotiators in the country's capital, baku, struck the deal overnight — just hours after it looked like disagreement over key issues might derail the conference entirely. not everyone was happy. poorer countries had asked for $1.3 trillion to help them fight the climate battle. the african group of negotiators described it as "too little, too late" — with the indian delegation calling the figure �*a paltry sum'. from baku, here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. it was in the early hours of this morning that the key text was agreed to huge applause from the room. but some delegates from developing countries were angry. just listen to how that went down in the room. i listen to how that went down in the room-— the room. i regret to say that this document _ the room. i regret to say that

this document is _ the room. i regret to say that this document is nothing - the room. i regret to say that | this document is nothing more than optical illusion. this, in our opinion, will not address the enormity of the challenge we are facing. therefore, we oppose the adoption of this document. fist oppose the adoption of this document-— oppose the adoption of this document. �* document. at the same time there was — document. at the same time there was an _ document. at the same time there was an effort - document. at the same time there was an effort by - document. at the same time there was an effort by a - document. at the same time | there was an effort by a group of fossil fuel rich companies led by saudi arabia to water down a promise made at the last year cop conference to transition away from fossil fuels. the final deal here includes both a $300 billion a commitment to help developing countries tackle climate change and that strong language on cutting emissions. i’m and that strong language on cutting emissions.— cutting emissions. i'm very leased cutting emissions. i'm very pleased that _ cutting emissions. i'm very pleased that we _ cutting emissions. i'm very pleased that we got - cutting emissions. i'm very pleased that we got this i cutting emissions. i'm very l pleased that we got this deal through. it is the right thing for britain, it is the right thing _ for britain, it is the right thing for— for britain, it is the right thing for speeding up the clean energy— thing for speeding up the clean energy transition, which is good — energy transition, which is good for— energy transition, which is good for britain, it will help protect— good for britain, it will help protect us against climate change _ protect us against climate change and that is the right thing — change and that is the right thing to— change and that is the right thing to do. it will also help generate jobs and growth for people — generate jobs and growth for people in britain. it is an

are struggling to keep their heads above water. you mentioned _ heads above water. you mentioned there - heads above water. you mentioned there that i heads above water. you mentioned there that developing countries had to agree to the $300 billion, is there an element where their hands are tied in negotiations like this? and what does this mean for future cop climate summits? there is always a bit of a run—off in the end of these summits, they go over time and there is a dissipation of energy and a kind of forcing of everyone's hands do not let everyone's hands do not let every man all the entire process doubtful to buy thing all sides, process doubtful to buy thing allsides, including process doubtful to buy thing all sides, including developing countries who have no option at this multilateralforum countries who have no option at this multilateral forum to bring their needs and stories, if you like, of what they are going through, which is unthinkable, really, in many of the colder climates that we are talking about. so, i think now is the time where we expected a better global stock—take, a better, even higher ambition on

reducing emissions. and because these emissions are impacting us very egregiously, also, some focus on the global goal on adaptation because for us, that is the fight on the ground. just how to stay resilient and adapt to the very aggressive accelerated impact of climate change. i think we all seem to be sidestepping at this point. i do echo the sentiments of many in the developing world who feel that this is evading responsibility.— who feel that this is evading responsibility. thank you very much. responsibility. thank you very much- that — responsibility. thank you very much. that is _ responsibility. thank you very much. that is sherry - responsibility. thank you very | much. that is sherry rehman, chair of the pakistan senate committee for climate. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. storm bert is continuing to batter parts of britain for a second day with wales

young people who refuse to take upjobs or training will face penalties — as part of the uk government's planned changes to the welfare system. the work and pensions secretary liz kendall, is set to announce a package of legislation on tuesday to, in the government's words, "get britain working". speaking on the sunday with laura kuenssberg programme this morning she told the bbc: "if people repeatedly refuse to take up the training or work responsibilities, there will be sanctions on their benefits." and the reason this is so important is we will transform those opportunities for young people. we will put in place a youth guarantee so everyone has the chance to be earning or learning. but in return for those new opportunities, young people will have a responsibility to take them up. and let me tell you why. because if you lack basic skills in today's world, that is brutal. if you are out of work when you're young, that can have lifelong consequences in terms of your future job prospects and earning potential. and it is also bad for your health.

so we, the government, we will face up to our responsibility, unlike the last government, of having that guarantee in place. but young people in their return will have and now it is time for today's sport. hi there, catherine. we start with formula 1 because max verstappen has won her fourth consecutive driver championship under the lights at the las vegas grand prix. he did what he needed to do finishing ahead of his title rival lando norris. the red bull driver came fifth with norris just behind bull driver came fifth with norrisjust behind him in six. the step and it becomes just the sixth driver in history to win four championships. it follows what he calls a difficult season for red bull. max verstappen retains the title with two races to spare. you have to be proud of everyone, what they have done for me. to stand there as a four—time world champion was something i never thought was possible. at the moment, just feeling relieved, in a way,

but also very proud. it was mercedes who took the top two spots in las vegas with george russell crossing the line first in his third career victory finishing ahead of his team—mate lewis hamilton who was in second. a turbulent season for mercedes. third place was ferrari's driver. with his team—mate in p
