are the water levels higher than you were expecting? absolutely, yes. a last minute compromise deal at the un climate summit — but poorer countries say it comes nowhere near addressing their challenges. polls close in the first round of romania's presidential election — we'll be live with our central europe correspondent. moana, the polynesian girl who saved her village from a millennial curse, is back in cinemas with a new adventure. we're at the the london premiere. hello, i'm lewis vaughan—jones. police in north wales say they've recovered a body in the search for a 75—year—old man who disappeared on saturday. brian perry was walking his dog

in an area affected by significant floodwater, next to the river conwy near trefriw. there's been no formal identification but the police say his family have been informed. storm bert is battering parts of britain for a second day — there are more than 100 flood warnings in place. wales was badly hit this morning. authorities in south wales told a news conference that floods had affected between 200—300 properties. the uk prime minister keir starmer has said on social media, "thank you to the emergency services "who are working tirelessly "to protect communities — my thoughts are with "those impacted." danjohnson reports from the river taff in pontypridd. across south wales, water levels are high, rivers have burst their banks and homes are flooded, bringing misery for people who in many cases have been hit for a second time. didn't have enough time to move the van. by the time i got back it went from one foot to a metre and i only went around

the corner so within five minutes it was up by a metre. what time was this? this was just after nine. paula has lived here for more than 20 years and it's the second time in four years her home has been underwater. their belief is because there are flood defences in place the flood defences work. but as you have probably seen yourself the flood defences don't work. this is the desperate effort to try and stop the river water getting back into these houses and at the moment they are winning but the fear is the river level will rise further because the rain keeps coming down. in parts of wales a month's worth of rain has fallen over the past 2a hours. it's been a very busy time for the emergency services and they declared a major incident this morning when they were inundated with calls. and listen to the local council leaders�* assessment of how well this rainfall and its impact were forecast.

we took decisions ourselves to step up our resources and have a depot and crews in. even as bad as things were this morning, unless i have missed it because i've been up since 5:30am, i don't think an amber warning was issued. i've not seen it and i am surprised there wasn't a red warning because due to storm dennis we saw an amber warning well in advance and a red warning issued in the early hours, so that needs to be reviewed. some of the water from welsh hills flows into england. this was in worcestershire where a wall collapsed and the river burst through. landslides have affected a couple of roads and coal tips are being checked to make sure they aren't unstable. it's been a difficult day for everyone here and it is still a really nervous time for people right across the valleys. the welsh first minister eluned morgan has described the flooding in wales is "absolutely devastating" and says discussions had begun about financial support for those affected. it has been a really difficult

weekend and i would like to thank the emergency services for all of the support they are giving to people affected. i think this is the second time many of those have suffered as a result of the storm. there has been huge investment since the last storm hit so we were able to protect lots more properties than last time but obviously this is absolutely devastating just before christmas for those who have been impacted. irefill christmas for those who have been impacted.— been impacted. will there be the emergency _ been impacted. will there be the emergency funding - been impacted. will there be i the emergency funding available as there was after storm dennis in these communities to help people recover?— in these communities to help people recover? already those discussions _ people recover? already those discussions have _ people recover? already those discussions have started - people recover? already those discussions have started and l people recover? already those| discussions have started and of course we will do everything we need to do to put measures in place to support people who have undergone this really, really difficult situation at a difficult time of year.- difficult time of year. some eo - le difficult time of year. some peeple have _ difficult time of year. some people have said _ difficult time of year. some people have said there - difficult time of year. some people have said there just| people have said there just wasn't enough warning over this weekend, that although it was a storm and there were warnings on saturday they found that

this morning it took them by surprise, the speed at which the water started rising. tide the water started rising. we certainly knew _ the water started rising. - certainly knew storm bert was coming so there was an amount of preparation but when you get the kind of enormity of rain we've had over the past few days and it is still coming down then we have got to recognise that it's going to be difficult. but we hope people will be able to recover and we will be able to recover and we will give our support along with local authorities who have been doing a sterling job. i know the deputy first minister has been out and about this morning in areas most impacted. i have been visiting places as well on the way back from pembrokeshire.— pembrokeshire. there is obviously _ pembrokeshire. there is obviously concerned, - pembrokeshire. there is - obviously concerned, natural resources wales, its funding, it has been under pressure. andrew morgan the leader of the council has said today that a lot of work has been done on

the streams but tackling preventing flooding from the big rivers like the river taff is going to take substantial investment and where will that money come from? we investment and where will that money come from?— investment and where will that money come from? we have put hundreds of— money come from? we have put hundreds of millions _ money come from? we have put hundreds of millions of - money come from? we have put hundreds of millions of pounds l hundreds of millions of pounds into flood defences over the past few years and that is helping to protect around a quarter of a million homes already in wales. clearly climate change is going to impact on us and there will come a point when it'll be too difficult for us to protect every single home in the country but we want to put the support in place if we are able to do that for the people affected. i5 to do that for the people affected-— to do that for the people affected. , ~ . , affected. is wales a resilient country? _ affected. is wales a resilient country? we _ affected. is wales a resilient country? we have _ affected. is wales a resilient country? we have had - affected. is wales a resilient country? we have had the i affected. is wales a resilient. country? we have had the covid pandemic, there is an ongoing inquiry there. we have had these storms. how protected are we as a public here in wales? we do prepare for these situations and we already had a cabinet meeting ready for

tomorrow to discuss making sure we are prepared for every eventuality. we know when it is coming but clearly climate change is making a difference and the severity and the seriousness of these weather events is something we've got to be aware of. —— of the severity and the frequency of these weather events. let's speak to heledd chhan, member of the senedd in south wales central for plaid cymru. thank you for coming on the programme. talk us through your reaction to what you have seen today. reaction to what you have seen toda . , ., , ., reaction to what you have seen toda . , . , ., ., ., today. devastating and for those who _ today. devastating and for those who were _ today. devastating and for| those who were devastated today. devastating and for. those who were devastated in 2020 you can just imagine how they are feeling. they have always feared the worst. every time it has rained heavily, watching the river, many still on medication after suffering flooding in 2020. anti—anxiety medication. to see those fears are realised you can imagine how they are feeling. irate are realised you can imagine how they are feeling. we have been speaking _ how they are feeling. we have been speaking to _ how they are feeling. we have been speaking to people - how they are feeling. we have | been speaking to people today who have been helping out, helping their neighbours,

has just been fighting for has just been fighting for support. and it isn'tjust in terms of what happens to peoples homes and businesses, it is the psychological trauma that they are constantly living with and we know extreme weather is becoming much more frequent. the risk is they are much more frequent and we can only dread what is to come over the next few months as well because last time the floods were in february but we are in november now and we are seeing the weather forecast now you can understand how people are feeling. can understand how people are feelina. ~ ., can understand how people are feelin. _ . ., .,, can understand how people are feelina. ~ . ., can understand how people are feelin. . . ., ., ., feeling. what has gone wrong with the lack _ feeling. what has gone wrong with the lack of _ feeling. what has gone wrong with the lack of provision - feeling. what has gone wrong with the lack of provision and | with the lack of provision and the lack of warning?

with the lack of provision and the lack o the “ning? with the lack of provision and the lack o the escalation after seriously, the escalation after the warning this morning followed very quickly and people couldn't believe how quickly the water came into properties, came into businesses. i think what we have seen is not being able to access emergency numbers and so on. 0bviously access emergency numbers and so on. obviously the local authority, also the emergency services, were overwhelmed and what is important is every community here that is at risk of flooding should have a plan. everybody should know what happens when the worst happens. but that unfortunately is still in the planning stages and i think we need to move quicker to provide that support to people because the amount of people because the amount of people i know who say the value of their homes has dropped and they cannot afford to leave and they cannot afford to leave and they are at risk. we need to help them become resilient because some of the the advice

of the 2020 was frankly unhelpful, things like make sure your plugs are higher in your property. yes, good advice, but if you have had six months of water in your house that kind of advice isn't actually helping you. knowing where you will be evacuated to, who will evacuate, what kind of support can you expect, those are the things we need to be moving towards because lots of people were angry today because they have been asking for flood gates for their properties. some of them have received them but others have been refused them because people were saying you won't be flooded again, it was a once in a 100 year occurrence, in 2020, but they were flooded again today. the fact they were denied those floodgates because actually i spoke to a number of people who were flooded in 2020 where the floodgates made a difference today. that is good for those who are provided with floodgates, but what about those who require that support? we can't bury our heads in the

sand any more and we need to provide support the communities. ., ~ , ., , communities. thank you very much. polls have closed in the first round of presidential elections in romania — with a vote that's been dominated by concerns about inflation, emigration, corruption and the war in ukraine. romanians are choosing between 13 candidates, with the top two advancing to a run—off vote on december 8th — unless a candidate secures more than 50% of the vote in this first round. prime minister marcel ciolacu of the social democratic party is currently the front—runner, but a second round is expected. let's speak to our central europe correspondent, nick thorpe who is in budapest. bring us up—to—date with the latest. bring us up-to-date with the latest. , , _, ., latest. results coming in from exit olls latest. results coming in from exit polls now. _ latest. results coming in from exit polls now. the _ latest. results coming in from exit polls now. the only - exit polls now. the only concrete numbers is the turnout was around 51%. not bad for a romanian presidential election, similar to the figure is five years ago. the first exit polls suggest the current prime

minister, marcel ciolacu, the leader of the social democratic party is in the lead according to the exit polls which should be taken with a pinch of salt but he's on 25%. he is closely followed by several other figures. the far right candidate, simion, in third position, possibly fourth position. a surprise is that another figure from the romanian anotherfigure from the romanian far right, a sovereign test and an independent candidate is also to be well and seems to be splitting the far right vote. if that is true it would mean that marcel ciolacu, the social democrat current prime minister, would face lasconi, a centre—right

figure, in the second round. of course this is very early days. these are just a few minutes, really, after those polling stations have closed with these first three, four exit polls coming in. first three, four exit polls coming in— first three, four exit polls cominu in. , ., coming in. remind us of the broader political _ coming in. remind us of the broader political context - coming in. remind us of the j broader political context and situation of the country. romania is a very important central european, east european country. it is the sixth biggest country by population in the eu. in nato it is a crucial country in terms of the native's response to the war in neighbouring ukraine. roni has the biggest borderline with ukraine of all of the european union countries. strategically it's very important and increasingly politically it is very important at a time when germany and france have weak leaderships, germany going to an election, at such a time countries like hungary where i am speaking from, romania, poland, these countries feel in a way this is a chance to

influence the whole european project much more and therefore these elections where the presidential now in romania, parliament next week very important elections for the whole of europe, i suppose. thank you very much for that. election results out of romania. i want to bring you up—to—date with the latest on the flooding from storm bert. let's speak to our weather presenter, elizabeth rizzini. talk us through what has happened. than talk us through what has happened-— talk us through what has happened. talk us through what has hauened. ., ., ., happened. an awful lot of rain from storm — happened. an awful lot of rain from storm bert. _ happened. an awful lot of rain from storm bert. it— happened. an awful lot of rain from storm bert. it has - happened. an awful lot of rain from storm bert. it has been. happened. an awful lot of rain | from storm bert. it has been a dramatic week of weather. this was a weather watcher picture taken in cardiff and a lot of rain has been in south and eastern areas of wales and we have a number of flood warnings in force. most of the flood warnings are down in western areas, so western parts of england, we have a few in scotland, and two severe flood warnings in wales. imminent

parts as we head through tonight and it is clear in the south—east corner. there will be showers following on behind. showers, clear spells behind as you can see the bulk of the rain heading further north and west. that is how we start the day tomorrow. there will be more showers tomorrow. again, they will be piling into parts of western wales. they will affect the south—eastern corner of wales but it won't be as bad as it has been. more showers for the far south—west of england. it's a quieter week of weather ahead it isjust england. it's a quieter week of weather ahead it is just that the number of flood warnings could still rise as we head over the next day or so still. thanks very much for that. after days of talks and 30 extra hours of bitter wrangling, the cop29 climate conference finally agreed a deal in the early hours of the morning in baku. the world's richest nations pledged more than $300 billion a year by 2035 — to help poorer nations deal with climate change — and develop without needing to rely on fossil fuels. but despite the amount being three times the current existing pledge, some developing nations criticised

the deal as insufficient. here's our climate editorjustin rowlatt. it was in the early hours of this morning when the key text was agreed. to huge applause from the room. but some delegates from developing countries were angry, and just listen to how that went down in the room. i regret to say that this document is nothing more than an optical illusion. this, in our opinion, will not address the enormity of the challenge we all face. applause therefore, we oppose the adoption of this document. that the developing countries are having to deliver on $300 billion a year to 2035 is a joke. it is not something we should take lightly. 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, it's the right thing for speeding up the clean energy transition, which is good for britain and it will help protect us against climate change — and that's the right thing to do. and it will also help generate jobs and growth for people in britain. it's an 11th—hour deal. 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.

officials at a hospital in northern gaza has said the director has been seriously injured in a drone strike. dr hossam abu safiya heads the kamal adwan hospital, one ofjust two medical facilities partly operating in northern gaza. medical sources say the israeli military targeted the hospital's oxygen facilities and diesel storage with drones. we have asked the israeli army for comment. israel does not allow foreign journalists free access to gaza so a freelancer for the bbc has interviewed dr hossam abu safiya. translation: we have been asking the world to send - doctors with surgical specialties so we can treat those who arrive at kamal adwan hospital with injuries requiring surgical intervention. today, i was injured myself. we urgently need medical supplies, tools and ambulances to continue our humanitarian work.

unfortunately, my condition has worsened and the bleeding returned, which was expected because i need a vascular surgeon. however, after the arrest of our medical staff four weeks ago, we no longer have any specialists available. this is why we have been urgently calling for surgical delegations to be sent to gaza. people are voting in the second round of uruguay�*s presidential election. the centre—left opposition candidate yamandu orsi came first in last month's vote but didn't secure an outright majority. in the run—off, he's facing alvaro delgado of the governing republican coalition. opinion polls suggest a close race. our news correspondent mimi swaby told me more. this is the second round of an extremely close presidential race between two fairly moderate candidates. on the opposition side, the ce ntre—left, opposition side, the centre—left, you have yamandu orsi, and he is going against

the figure of continuity for the figure of continuity for the centre—right, governing republican coalition alvaro delgado. he also has the backing of the third placed ally. but it is an incredibly tight race. it is thought that less than 25,000 votes will be the difference between these two front runners. that in a population of only 3.4 million people. to give you an idea of how close it is, they are moderate candidates, not too dissimilar, so their differences will be very important but also minute. giue important but also minute. give us a background _ important but also minute. give us a background of _ important but also minute. give us a background of the political climate in the country. political climate in the country-— political climate in the count . ~' , ., , country. unlike the sharp right left divide _ country. unlike the sharp right left divide is _ country. unlike the sharp right left divide is you _ country. unlike the sharp right left divide is you have - country. unlike the sharp right left divide is you have seen - left divide is you have seen dominate latin american politics this year and in other elections, the political landscape in uruguay is quite stable. there aren't many tensions. the two parties overlap significantly on many topics from public security to the cost of living crisis and

inequality. these are the main issues which have dominated campaigning. the centre—left candidate, orsi, who was slightly ahead according to some polls, is reassuring voters he won't drastically change any policies in what is a traditionally very moderate and calm country. a relaxed and laid—back country. whereas you have dell gado on the right who has said that voters need to re—elect this good government. —— whereas you have delgado. he has focused on the popularity of the outgoing president who isn't allowed to immediately run for a reaction. they are fighting over around 8% of votes. the red carpet has been rolled out for the london premiere of the long—awaited sequel to the animated movie moana — with the likes of dwayne �*the rock�* johnson and auli'i cravalho joining the crowds. the event follows the film's grand premiere in hawaii last thursday which saw the stars embracing and honouring traditional polynesian dress, culture and dance which are a key part of the animated film.

our culture reporter noor nanji was at the premiere in leicester square — and you might even spot a familiarface behind her. well, as you say, i'm here in london's leicester square, which has been transformed into a polynesian island. aside from the weather — you can't do much about that. but there are palm trees up. there's a beach. there's even an ocean beneath me. and there was a polynesian dance earlier, so they're really getting into the spirit here. and the fans are really excited — old and young, because after all, it's been a really long time. the last moana, the first one, came out in 2016, so fans have had to wait a long time for this sequel. and again, it's going to be following the adventures of moana, that adventurous polynesian teenager, and her travels across the ocean. and as you were saying earlier, it involves the same cast as before. so we have auli'i cravalho and also dwaynejohnson. they are both back again in the voices of moana and maui. now, the fans here are looking forward to catching a glimpse of them.

we saw them earlier on and of course, auli'i was just around 16 years old when she was cast, when she was starring in the last one. since then, she's been in mean girls, she's been on the stage. and of course, dwaynejohnson needs no introduction at all, he's a massive us star, and of course, he's known as the rock. not quite noticing that dwayne johnson was standing behind her. it is a difficultjob being on the red carpet and broadcasting and facing the wrong way. ifeel for broadcasting and facing the wrong way. i feel for her, she was between a rock and a hard place! i will be back with the headlines and just a couple of minutes' time. this is bbc news. goodbye. storm bert has made for a difficult weekend to say the least across large swathes of

the uk. the snow yesterday and today further very strong winds and very heavy rain. that rain has caused significant flooding impact, particularly across the south—east of wales but also across some other areas. flood warnings are still in force and will remain in force. you can check the latest on those on the bbc weather website. it is no wonder we have had such flooding issues because the rain folsom has been relentless. this radar runs over 36 hours. over 150 millimetres has fallen over high ground in western england and parts of wales, as well. now, that rain is very slowly sliding eastwards. this frontal system will push away from the south—east corner as we go through the night, but storm bert, our area of low pressure, still close by. still some very strong winds for a time, particularly across northern and western parts of scotland. not quite as mild as it was last night, but certainly not as cold as it was last week.

and then as we head into tomorrow, well, it is going to be a better day. not a completely straightforward one. this rain clearing the south—east corner. then for southern and eastern parts it will be largely dry. a few showers for the south—west and for wales. a few more for northern ireland, northern england and especially scotland. some heavy thundery showers. and it will still be pretty windy up towards the north. storm bert still fairly close by, the centre of the storm, just to the north—east of us. temperature—wise, north to south, well, we're looking at around 8—12 degrees, because as storm bert clears away north—eastwards, it will leave some colder air in its wake. now, again, it's not going to be as cold as it was last week, but still a little bit chillier than it has been at times over the weekend. cold enough for some snow in the showers over higher ground in northern scotland on tuesday. many spots further south will be dry, but those temperatures north to south around 7—11 degrees. a bit of uncertainty in the forecast for the middle part of the week. this area of low pressure sliding across southern counties of england, wales, the midlands could well bring some outbreaks of rain. this may end up being

a little bit further south or a little bit further north than these graphics suggest. could be some brisk winds with that as well. the end of the week does look quite a lot quieter.

this is bbc news. the headlines... storm bert continues to batter parts of the uk for a second day, as police confirm they've recovered a body in wales.

heavy rains and strong winds have caused severe flooding in south wales and weather warnings are in place across the country. an eleventh hour deal at the cop 29 climate summit after negotiations on financing for poorer nations went into overtime, but many aren't happy, as some nations, including india, say the dealfalls far short of what is needed. officials at one of the few hospitals operating in northern gaza say their director has been injured in an israeli drone attack. medical sources say the israeli military targeted the hospital's oxygen facilities and diesel storage with drones. uruguayans are voting in the second round of their presidential election — with polls suggesting it'll be a close race. now on bbc news, it's sportsday.
