of britain for a second day — there are more than 100 flood warnings in place. wales was badly hit this morning. the uk prime minister keir starmer has said on x, "thank you to the emergency services who are working tirelessly to protect communities — my thoughts are with those impacted." dan johnson reports from 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 — 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, who 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. but 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. danjohnson, bbc news, in pontypridd. i spoke to rhondda resident scott groves, who has been helping out his community. he told us what was experienced today. the banks have exploded again, so we've had houses that have been flooded, businesses that have been shut, people who can't get to where they need to go. so, we've got vulnerable people left out and houses just getting washed out time and time again. so, i don't want to sound a bit

of a beggar from around there, but we keep saying we need more help, we need more funding. prevention is better than cure. and me being a business owner, i've already sorted my week for next week, because we knew it was coming. so, we're not sure why the council aren't knowing it's coming. there was no sandbags available this morning, so lucky a few local people were getting bags together, delivering them to local houses, local businesses, doing what we could. but itjust wasn't enough. we need more help, we need more funding. and what were you able to do when you were out today? well, my company itself, along with a few other companies that we've got, you know, working alongside us, we've managed to pull cars from dangerous places, we've managed to sandbag off dangerous areas, we've managed to help people get to where they need to go. so, whatever we can do, really, you know, we've got a really, really good community, and that's something i'd always want to say about them. that we've all backed each other as best as we could,

but now it's time to go up a we need help from someone higher up, you know, we need betterfunding. and we've heard some talk today about even authorities being surprised at water levels, at river levels, that extra levels of warning weren't given out. does that seem to ring true to what you experienced? absolutely, it's quite frightening, but you can do your own research. you know, we've had a very, very dry november. as a roofer, we need to check the weather, so i've seen it coming for a little while. and even if you're not 100% sure, it wouldn't really cost to put sandbags out and make it available for people who need it. whereas today, we were just left blind. there was everyone was running, trying to get stuff, no resources available. there were no council vans on the road delivering. there was a couple of big companies that i would like to mention who were out there — griffiths has done a greatjob. they were hand—delivering to people. so, again, community support has really, really pulled us through today. but now, we've got to deal with the ripple effects after this. so, businesses are going to close just before christmas —

that's going to be people out of work for christmas — so it's not going to be great for the run that they see. and i know we're insured, but the insurance payments are going to come after christmas. so, the ripple effects we're about to deal with are really, really frightening. my my thanks to scott groves. let's speak to sian williams, who is head of operations north west at natural resources wales. it's the environmental regulator responsible for managing wales�* natural resources. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rouramme. h, ., ., ~ programme. good evening, thank ou for programme. good evening, thank you for having _ programme. good evening, thank you for having me. _ programme. good evening, thank you for having me. do _ programme. good evening, thank you for having me. do you - programme. good evening, thank you for having me. do you think l you for having me. do you think ou've you for having me. do you think you've got _ you for having me. do you think you've got the _ you for having me. do you think you've got the warnings - you for having me. do you think you've got the warnings right i you've got the warnings right here? ~ ~ ., �* here? well, i think what we've seen here _ here? well, i think what we've seen here is — here? well, i think what we've seen here is a _ here? well, i think what we've seen here is a combination - l seen here is a combination — there was a yellow weather warning for rain and for wind over the last couple of days, and into last week, as well, obviously we've had the different kinds of severe weather with the snow and storms. we saw over the weekend was yesterday, north wales was

really badly affected. today, unfortunately, southwell has been severely affected. we've seen a number of properties flooded, and number of warnings that we've got has been a significant number — we've still got several warnings out across the whole of wales... but some are saying those warnings were just too late, that the warning came through at 7:40am this morning, the actualflood warning, but at 7:40am this morning, the actual flood warning, but the river had already flooded by that point. i river had already flooded by that point-— river had already flooded by that point. i think obviously, with any event _ that point. i think obviously, with any event like - that point. i think obviously, with any event like this, - that point. i think obviously, with any event like this, it's| with any event like this, it's important for us to prioritise the immediate today. and yesterday was dealing with the impact and responding to the events as they've happened. we've heard similar stories today as well, people saying they didn't receive the warnings early enough — that something we will look at, along with all the other factors, like the weather forecast we had, the weather modelling that was in place, but was predicted against

what's actually happened — it's really important that we take what happened today to learn, to pull all those pieces of information together and to start to understand exactly what happened, are there things that didn't go as well as could have been done, and other things that could've been done better, or learned from for next time?— better, or learned from for next time? let's look at the defences — next time? let's look at the defences then, _ next time? let's look at the defences then, because - next time? let's look at the l defences then, because some defences then, because some defences have said frankly, everything you said should have been done after four years ago. one resident said they'd been in touch and the flooding has taken in place — a resident in pontypridd — in exactly the same place, you should've learned from last time. there are things _ learned from last time. there are things that _ learned from last time. there are things that have - learned from last time. there are things that have been - are things that have been improved upon last time, and these are things we need to look at again to see, where there defences that were overwhelmed, are there things that didn't work as well as they could have done? are there places where there were no defences in place that flooded?

obviously in severe weather, we can't protect against absolutely everything, and that is something that we need to think about as well. how do we adapt, how do we mitigate against these kinds of risks as we go into the future? we need to learn and rethink how we do things. i to learn and rethink how we do thins. ~ , .,, ., things. i think people would appreciate _ things. i think people would appreciate that _ things. i think people would appreciate that and - things. i think people would appreciate that and the - things. i think people would appreciate that and the fact| appreciate that and the fact that not every single area can be protected — but when things have gone wrong in exactly the same place, is it a case of your organisation just hasn't listened, or it doesn't have the finances or resources to have actually made the resources that they need, those areas actually need?— areas actually need? were alwa s areas actually need? were always listening _ areas actually need? were always listening and - areas actually need? were i always listening and learning, and trying to work as best we can with communities that are affected. unfortunately, and i can't respond to the specifics of this case until we've learned exactly what happened and analysed all the information, but in general, we don't have a bottomless pit of money to be spent on reducing flood risks, and it's for

certain that we can't combat every single flood risk that's in place. so we do need to prioritise that whenever we spend our money, we need to prioritise the places that are highest number of properties, at the highest flood risk, and that's where the money is spent — but obviously as we said, we need to look at the specifics of this case, learning specifically what happened and other things that didn't go as they should've done, and how do we learn from that?— we learn from that? thank you very much _ we learn from that? thank you very much for— we learn from that? thank you very much for coming - we learn from that? thank you very much for coming on - we learn from that? thank you very much for coming on the l very much for coming on the programme. very much for coming on the programme-— 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... applause ..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. therefore, we oppose the adoption of this document. that the developing countries are saying that it's taking the lead with $300 billion til 2035 is a joke, and 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 am very pleased that we have 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, in that 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 iith—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. exit polls following the first round of romania's general election suggest the social democrat prime minister, marcel ciolacu, is in the lead. the centre—right candidate, elena lasconi, appears to be in second place. if the exit polls are correct, the far—right vote has been split between two candidates — meaning neither will qualify for the second round run—off. let's speak to our central europe correspondent, nick thorpe who is in budapest. he can explain this to us. talk us through it.— us through it. yes, so we actually _ us through it. yes, so we actually have _ us through it. yes, so we actually have a _ us through it. yes, so we actually have a change i us through it. yes, so we l actually have a change now us through it. yes, so we - actually have a change now in that running orderfrom actually have a change now in that running order from the exit polls — on the basis just in the last few minutes, the central electoral bureau has announced the first real count. we now have 65%, and marcel ciolacu, as you said there, from the exit polls does have a lead, but only a narrow lead

from one of the two far right candidates running. so marcel ciolacu, on the basis of 65% count, is first with 22.65 — but second is known as the tiktok candidate, who doesn't have a party of its own, but is known to have very far right views, including praising the leaders of the romanian iron guard, the neo—nazi party in the second world war. he's very closely behind on 22%, then third nationalist candidate, george simeon, third on 15%. so as i say, 65% of the vote counted here — so the big surprise of the night, everyone expected the prime minister to do well, but the big surprise is this remarkable showing of a candidate who's really come from nowhere, playing the algorithms, especially on social media but also on tiktok

and rising very strong prominence in this first round of the romanian presidential election. , ., ., election. interesting, and what have been _ election. interesting, and what have been some _ election. interesting, and what have been some of _ election. interesting, and what have been some of the - election. interesting, and what have been some of the issuesl election. interesting, and what. have been some of the issues at place in this election? has i place in this election? as i think with _ place in this election? as i think with many _ place in this election? as i think with many elections | think with many elections around the world, one has an established parties, like the social democrats, or the party they are in coalition with, the national liberals — moore they really dominated the electoral scene in the last 30 or more years since the fall of communism. they are accused by their critics of corruption, of really running the country for their own profit — and coming out of that, coming against them, you're getting these more nationalist candidates who've never had a share of power, who are knocking the establishment. so a lot of talk about inflation — romania has one of the highest levels of inflation in the european union. to some

extent, also discussion about ukraine — the nationalists are more prone to being somewhat more prone to being somewhat more sympathetic to russia, especially the second—place candidate. especially the second-place candidate-— now it's time for a look at today's sport with karthi. hello, from the bbc sport centre. liverpool are eight points clear at the top of the premier league after coming from behind to beat southampton 3—2 at st mary's. the visitors went ahead through dominik szoboszlai. but southampton equalised soon afterwards with a penalty from adam armstrong. mateus fernandez scored for the home side to put them 2—1 in front, but then two goals from mo salah gave liverpool the win and extended their lead at the top of the table following manchester city's defeat on saturday. we were really competitive, as we have been against a lot of top—quality opposition this season. but we conceded some really bad goals, we had some

bad moments ourselves, we played some really good stuff and stuck out at the whole way through, we tried to be aggressive with the ball, we changed shape a little bit — but yeah, i'm disappointed at the quality of goals we conceded. ruben amorim's era at manchester united began with a 1—1 draw at ipswich town. his first game in charge of united started well with marcus rashford scoring the openerjust 81 seconds into the game. however, omari hutchinson levelled for ipswich before the break, and manchester united still remain in the bottom half the table. not a good result, but it's a tough league with high intensity. but we started very well. we should have more balls after the first goal, but we are learning in competition. so, it was really hard for them, they were thinking during all the game, they were thinking what to do — it was not fluid and is normal with two trainings, but they tried, just

asked to try, to run — they tried to do it, and we'll see in the future. leicester city have sacked their manager, steve cooper, afterjust five months in charge. cooper leaves with immediate effect, following leicester's 2—1 loss to chelsea yesterday. the club is in 16th in the premier league table. in a statement, leicester thanked cooper and his backroom staff for their contribution. first team coach, ben dawson, will take interim charge for their game against brentford next weekend. leicester say they have already begun the process of appointing a new manager. rugby union — and scotland have beaten australia 27—13 at murrayfield in the last game of their autumn nations series to finish the year on a high. tries from top scorer duhan van der mervwe and captain sione tuipulotu helping scotland to the win. england ended their five game losing run by putting in a dominant performance against a japan side that had the former england head coach, eddiejones in charge. egnland won 59—14. max verstappen has won a fourth consecutive formula one drivers championship, under the lights at the las vegas grand prix.

he becomes just the sixth driver in history to win four world titles. verstappen did exactly what he needed to do, finishing in fifth place, just ahead of title rival lando norris who was in sixth, to take the championship with two races still to go. george russell won the race for mercedes, his third career victory, finishing ahead of team—mate lewis hamilton. tennis — and italy have won a second consecutive davis cup title by beating the netherlands 2—0 in malaga. matteo berretini who supported the italian team from the bench when he was injured last year, defeated botik van de zanshulp in straight sets. before the world number one, jannik sinner, ended his remarkable year by beating tallon greekspor to secure the trophy for italy. it's a team double for italy after they also won the billie jean king cup this week. cricket — and england women have beaten south africa in theirfirst t20. they won by four wickets in east london. chasing 143, nat sciver—brunt top scored with 59,

she was out in the final over, but sophie ecclestone secured the victory with four balls to spare. england take a 1—0 lead in the series. and that's all the sport for now. officials at a hospital in northern gaza say their director has been seriously injured in an israeli 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. the israeli army says it is looking into the reports. 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. the united arab emirates's news agency says three suspects have been arrested over the killing of the israeli—moldovan rabbi, zvee kogan in the gulf state. rabbi kogan, an envoy of the ultra—orthodox jewish group chabad lubavitch, had been missing in dubai since thursday. earlier on sunday, the israeli government said his body had been found by security services in the uae. iran has denied allegations in israeli media that it was involved. an israeli foreign ministry official says the body could be repatriated to israel on monday.

our security correspondent injerusalem, frank gardner, has more on the background to the case. he was a rabbi, part of an organisation called chabad — which is essentially worldwide, not all of its members are israeli, but they promote jewish interests, jewish way of life — he was managing a kosher supermarket in the emirates. and it does appear that on thursday, he was either abducted or lured away in some way and his car was found about an hour—and—a—half drive's away from where he was. so, this is quite a shocking incident for israelis who are in the gulf — because remember, since 2020, there's been full diplomatic relations established under the abraham accords, between israel and the uae, and bahrain, and there's been a huge tourist industry — somewhat dampened down, in fact, considerably dampened down by the war in gaza, which has put off a lot of israelis from visiting there.

but still, there are full relations, and so there is a joint investigation taking place. thanks to frank for that. a pakistani government team has managed to mediate a seven—day ceasefire deal between rival sectarian groups, ending days of clashes that have killed more than 80 people over the past three days. the violence erupted in korum, a mountainous district near the border with afghanistan. the recent clashes broke out when gunmen ambushed convoys of shia muslims travelling under police escort earlier this week, killing a2. while pakistan is predominantly sunni muslim, nearly half of korum's 800,000 residents are shia muslims, a division that fuelled sectarian tensions. 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'johnsonjoining 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. of course, the rock was just over her shoulder. will be back injust a couple minutes' time, and you can stay up—to—date with all the latest develop its on the bbc news website it's on the bbc news website and app. for now, i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news, bye—bye. storm bert has made for a very difficult weekend, to say the least, across large swathes of the uk. the snow yesterday, of course. today further very strong winds

and very heavy rain. that rain has caused some 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's no wonder we've had such flooding issues, because the rain for some has been relentless. this radar picture runs over 36 hours. 150mm of rain has fallen across some high ground of south—west 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 celsius, 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 celsius. 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. exit polls in the first round of romania's presidential election show the current prime minister marcel ciolacu leading the race. 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. the authorities in the united arab emirates say they've arrested three suspects in connection with the killing of an israeli—moldovan rabbi. iran has denied allegations in israeli media that it was involved. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. more now on storm bert, battering parts of britain for a second day.

south wales has seen over100mm of rain in places, while two areas in the southeast of the country are under severe flood warnings, detailing a "significant risk to life". 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's been a really difficult weekend, and i would like to thank the emergency services for all of the support they're 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've managed to protect lots more properties than last time, but obviously this is absolutely devastating just before christmas for those who have been impacted. and will there be the emergency funding available as there was after storm dennis in these communities to help 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. some 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 had took them by surprise, the speed at which the water started rising. we 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's 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 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. our weather presenter, elizabeth rizzini, has more detail on the conditions to come. i'll show you what happened already. this is the radar picture — so you can see all the rain. where we saw the snow, it turned quickly back to rain, of course, this is over the last 36 hours, so you can see why we've had the flooding. it's just been relentless for parts of wales, particularly the south and east, and for southwest england. you can see here, 150mm plus — that's what we've seen over the last day or so, through the weekend, amounting to around a month's worth of rainfall in just a short space of time. that's why we've got all the flooding. and what's to come? well, there's still a bit of rain to come. it won't be as bad as it was, but here's a pan of rain. it is clearing away from these flood affected parts

as we had there tonight, and it's just clearing the southeastern corner. but there will be a few showers following behind, so it showers and clear spells behind, as you can see the bulk of the rain is digging in further north and west. that's how we start off the day tomorrow. but there will be more showers tomorrow — again, they'll be piling into parts of western wales. there with the southeastern corner of wales as well, but it won't be as bad, and more for the southwest of england. but it is a quiet week of whether i had, lewis, but the number of flood warnings could still rise as we head through the next day or so still. the father of an 11—month child has spoken to the bbc about rescuing his son from a sinking car during storm bert flooding. andre randles had been driving in todmorden, west yorkshire when his car was engulfed by water after hitting a dip in the road. thanks to some quick—thinking he was able to pull his baby son to safety as water poured in through the car window. there was a big dip in the road

and as soon as i've gone over the dip, i was straight into the dip, i was straight into the water. my car started floating for a good minute, 30 seconds to one minute. whilst we were floating, i quickly rang emergency services. whilst i was on the phone to the emergency services, water started rising into the car so i thought, i started rising into the car so ithought, i need started rising into the car so i thought, i need to get me and my son out of here. so i was thinking, i'm going to have to smash a window, everything was just coming to my head, how to get us out, but ijust tried my electric windows and thankfully they worked, and thankfully he was in the passenger seat and not the back because if you were in the back seat, his window wouldn't have come down as much as in the passenger seat, so i've climbed out of the drivers seat, ran aground to his side, and strapped him, got him out as quickly as i

could —— ran ran aground to try to get somewhere safe. people welcomed us in and give me some spare clothes and looked after my son while i was on the phone to the police. while i was on the phone to the olice. . , while i was on the phone to the olice. ., , ., ~' , while i was on the phone to the olice. ., ., ,, , ., police. he was thankfully a slee -. police. he was thankfully a sleep. when _ police. he was thankfully a sleep. when andre - police. he was thankfully a sleep. when andre was - police. he was thankfully a - sleep. when andre was getting him out — sleep. when andre was getting him out of the car, that's when he woke — him out of the car, that's when he woke up— him out of the car, that's when he woke up because he doesn't sleep _ he woke up because he doesn't sleep through anything! but he is absolutely fine, he's as beautiful and happy as he can be, beautiful and happy as he can he, as— beautiful and happy as he can he, as you _ beautiful and happy as he can be, as you can tell because he's — be, as you can tell because he's waving at everyone but it could — he's waving at everyone but it could have been a completely different outcome, we may not have _ different outcome, we may not have been_ different outcome, we may not have been sitting here today with — have been sitting here today with both of them, so i'm very grateful— with both of them, so i'm very grateful to— with both of them, so i'm very grateful to andre and proud of

trillion every single year, and they say they need that in order to ditch fossil fuels and adapt to this harsher climate. importantly, if we want to adapt to the worst effects of climate change as a globe, we need every country to do that, and finance is critical to that. what the developed world offered was $300 billion a year, far short of what developing countries say they need, and that's why it has been so controversial because the money on the table isn't enough, so say the developing countries. enough, so say the developing countries-— countries. what does this say about the _ countries. what does this say about the cop _ countries. what does this say about the cop summit - countries. what does this say i about the cop summit process? we have had questions over the last few years if it is fit for purpose because the last couple of cop presidencies we have seen have teams who appear to be promoting fossil fuel deals when they should be doing the opposite of that, encouraging the transition away from fossil fuels. it is a slow process by

its nature, diplomacy is slow. you need to get 200 countries to agree to one tax but it means things can be slippery, but also slow to ensure that you bring everyone a long, so the nature of the beast is it is generally quite slow, whether it is fit for purpose or not, lots of former un chiefs like ban ki—moon have said so or not, but how to improve it remains... {lin said so or not, but how to improve it remains... on the money that _ improve it remains... on the money that has _ improve it remains... on the money that has been - improve it remains... on the i money that has been pledged, how does it work? where does it go and how deep does it go? what does it actually do? if we look back at — what does it actually do? if we look back at how _ what does it actually do? if we look back at how the _ what does it actually do? if we look back at how the money i what does it actually do? if "he: look back at how the money has worked before, there was 100 million pledged by 2020, that's part of why we see so much distrust and lack of confidence at this cop, but the money comes in many forms, it can comes in many forms, it can come in the form of grants and in the form of low—interest loans, but also via the private

sector so that might be the government investing with companies. that's why people like ed miliband are saying this is great for british businesses to invest abroad and bring in money to the uk economy. in the past, its quite difficult because what developing countries are saying is governments cannot control that private finance aspect and that's why they think it is not a good deal because they can't guarantee that money will reach them. authorities in laos have released the names of the two danish women, and one american man, who died of suspected methanol poisoning after apparently drinking tainted alcohol. anne—sofie orkild coyman, freja vennervald sorensen, and american national james louis hutson, were all staying at the nana hostel in the town of vang vieng when they died. three other tourists, including one brit, also died from suspected methanol poisoning in the town last week. the governor of vang vieng has

promised an investigation. 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 centre—left, you have yamandu orsi who is going against the figure of continuity for the centre—right, governing republican coalition alvaro delgado. he also has the backing of the third placed an eye. —— 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 is in a very small population of 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. give us a bit of background of the political climate in the country. unlike the sharp left—right divides we have seen dominate latin american politics this year alone in many elections, the political arena landscape in uruguay is actually quite stable. it hasn't got many tensions. the two parties here overlap significantly on many topics from public security, the cost—of—living crisis, and these are the main issues that have dominated campaigning. the centre—left candidate, yamandu orsi, who is marginally ahead according to some opinion polls, has sought to reassure people he will not drastically change any policies in what is traditionally a fairly moderate and calm country, a very relaxed, laid—back country, whereas you've

got alvaro delgado on the centre—right, who said voters need to re—elect this really good government they have right now. he has capitalised on the popularity of the outgoing president, and that outgoing president constitutionally isn't allowed to run for immediate real action. they are really fighting over around 8% of votes. voters in the first round he went for smaller, unallied parties or people who didn't vote at all in october. again, these tiny margins here, however, surprisingly perhaps, neither candidate has made any new pledges in the last final weeks of campaigning to get these undecided or previously unaligned voters, to get them, to attract them into their corner. talk us through the timescales. what's happening and when can we respect results? the polls close at 7:30pm local time and we are hoping to know the first few results

in a couple of hours after they close. however, as this is so tight, we aren't expecting to have a winner declared for many hours as every vote will be counted, that last x really looked into. the question is, is uruguay going to swing left again after a centre—right rule for five years, or will it buck the local trend of parties in power to losing votes due to voters being unhappy with inflation, the cost of living crisis, like we have seen in the uk, japan, the us? here in the uk, seniorfaith leaders representing christians, muslims, dues, hindus and sikhs have warned that vulnerable people could be left feeling they have a "duty to die" if this week's vote on allowing assisted dying in england and wales is passed. 29 religious leaders signed the letter published in a sunday newspaper. parliament will debate the issue on friday, with mps given a free vote. here's our political correspondent hannah miller. ahead of a week in which parliament will make a decision that is one of the most

profound it will ever face, some faith leaders are urging mps not to give terminally ill people the right to die. i am very concerned that as it stands the bill does not have sufficient safeguards to ensure that no one can be pressurised into choosing an early death, either because they feel a burden themselves or potentially that they're caused to feel a burden by others. a letter signed by 29 seniorfigures, including the bishop of london, the roman catholic cardinal archbishop of westminster and the chief rabbi, says... "our pastoral rules make us deeply concerned about the impact the bill would have on the most vulnerable, opening up the possibility of life—threatening abuse and coercion. " they add, "a right to die could all too easily end up in feeling you have a duty to die." the bill only applies to terminally ill people

who have mental capacity and are thought to have less than six months to live. two independent doctors and a judge would have to agree a person satisfies the criteria and has not been coerced. a doctor would prepare the substance but the individual would have to take it themselves. those who support the bill insist the safeguards are some of the most stringent in the world. i believe in giving people as much power, say and control as possible over the things that matter to them most. and i believe the bill has the right safeguards to make sure that that can be done properly. one shadow minister who saw his mother die in distressing circumstances agrees. there has been a good discussion on this, a good debate on this. it's important that debate continues on friday when we discuss it, but if you ask the public, if people express a view, about 80% of the public say they would like this choice. but others have expressed concerns about whether the state can be trusted with the responsibility of assisted dying.

those people who are sat in care homes now feel protected, with the arm of the state around their shoulders, knowing they are protected, who will feel incredibly vulnerable the moment this passes into law. even if this vote passes on friday, there will be months of further debate and scrutiny before it becomes law, but this week will tell us whether parliament supports the principle of assisted dying, and that is one of the most consequential decisions mps can take. hannah miller, bbc news, westminster. a british businessman caught on camera confessing to illegally selling millions of pounds of luxury perfume to russia is not facing criminal charges, the bbc has learned. david crisp was arrested last year but his case was later dropped by hmrc, the tax collecting agency which is also responsible for enforcing sanctions. will vernon reports. i'm from london. oh, no kidding? i live in dubai. how's your russian market? cani... don't tell anyone, we're doing really well. oh, good for you!

we ignore government edicts. that was british businessman david crisp confessing to violating sanctions against russia in an undercover video shared with the bbc. crisp sold luxury perfume, he rubbed shoulders with celebrities, but they didn't know about his activities in russia. his business partner didn't know either, but david garofalo got a tip—off and hired the private investigators who filmed the undercover video. he also contacted the hmrc. and then, many months went by, disinterested in further evidence that we'd found, and we learned that they had appeared to drop the case. i was stunned. i couldn't think of a case which is more cut and dry or more of a slam dunk case where all of the evidence was there. hmrc told us they've implemented the most severe sanctions on russia and fined companies for violations. they wouldn't tell us why

they dropped the david crisp case, as they don't comment on individual investigations, but the bbc understands there hasn't been a single criminal conviction for breaching trade sanctions since russia invaded ukraine almost three years ago. but mr garofalo took the evidence to a civil court to remove his partner from the company. in the provisional ruling, the judge said the video was compelling evidence that mr crisp knew he was breaching sanctions, and documents showed david crisp tried to conceal sales of more than £1.7 million to russia. if we don't prosecute people, who the hell is deterred from breaching sanctions? sir iain duncan smith mp says the david crisp case shows that sanctions enforcement is inadequate in britain. we all say, "this is outrageous. "we've got have to sanction these people," and all the rest of it, but then, without any prosecutions, you think "well, that's gone away now". there needs to be arrest, prosecution and incarceration if we're going to get on top

of this, and if we don't do that, then there's no such thing as sanctions. in a statement, david crisp told us he refutes the allegations made against him. he says the trade were known to his colleagues. ukrainians are still dying every day at the hands of russia, but experts say some other western businesses continue to trade illegally, making millions in moscow in violation of the law. will vernon, bbc news. soldiers from the indian subcontinent played a vital role in world war one, travelling from across the globe to fight with their british comrades in the trenches. now, there's been a renewed effort to recognise their contribution and the unique role played by a military hospital in bournemouth. sophie seth has the story.

during the first world war, tens of thousands of indian troops were based in the south of england as they trained and waited to go to france and to recuperate, after returning after serving on the front line. for the injured, it was a chance to regain their strength. an indian hospital had been created in brockenhurst at the beginning of november 1914. the meerut indian general hospital was in place there. it's pretty well known that hospitals for the sick and wounded were set up in brockenhurst and barton on sea, but what's less known is that this building, which now is the town hall in bournemouth, also had a part to play to look after indian soldiers, after king george v saw how stretched hampshire's facilities were getting, with huts and marquees being used to cope with the numbers. let's think about this for a moment. this is november 1914 and you've got sick and wounded

soldiers trying to recover under canvas in the new forest. the king came down for a royal visit on 17th november 1914 and he was really unhappy at the way his indian soldiers had been treated. two days after the king's visit, a senior medical officer came down here and commandeered this building, the mont dore hotel, the biggest hotel. as time has gone by, that memory is fading and has largely been forgotten, other than by historians. nick tells me, over the period of around a year, more than 1,000 indian soldiers were treated here in bournemouth. as soon as they got well enough in the hospital, they were allowed out and they were taken by charabanc — old—fashioned coach — on trips around the local area from the bournemouth hospital. and we have a photo of them. oh, incredible. and you can see the pier there. and here we are with the pier behind us.

this picture is actually published in the times of india in 1915. and the caption is, "they would obviously rather be walking along back bay, bombay." so, yeah, here they are on the beach. this is part of their recovery. and we're in the spot pretty much where they took that photo. we're just about in the spot where they took the photo, and i've now been made aware that members of the indian community, the asian community, come down here to try and replicate that image of the indian soldiers on the beach with bournemouth pier behind them. after recovering, the indian soldiers would have been medically assessed to see if they were fit to return to the front line and, if they were, they would take a train from new milton

on their way back to france and flanders. for me to realise that over 100 years ago, indian soldiers, once they were feeling better, were actually walking the beaches of bournemouth. and yet i thought i was the first...one of the first indians ever to walk on these beaches. despite living in dorset for 25 years, ramesh lal only recently discovered the indian soldiers' connection and has campaigned to get a plaque put in at the town hall to remember the soldiers, like they are remembered in barton on sea. it's very special for me because of the sacrifices they've made, coming from a faraway land to a very nasty war, and then ending up in a place like bournemouth, which didn't have anybody else of their community. but the good part is some of the letters that have been read about when they wrote home have been one of complimenting their hosts.

i'm pleased to unveil this plaque. and today the plaque was unveiled. it makes me feel really proud, just being a british indian, being a bournemouth resident. itjust feels like there's a shared legacy that's being honoured. having grown up in this area, never realising that indian . soldiers were here and seeing today that recognition - of what they did for this country and being part. of that is tremendous. we chose it mainly as a remembrance, so that the legacy continues, so that the new generations of indians have a connection with bournemouth as well. iam i am lewis vaughanjones. this is bbc news. bye—bye storm bert has made for a very difficult weekend, to say

the least, across large swathes of the uk. the snow yesterday, of course. today further very strong winds and very heavy rain. that rain has caused some 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's no wonder we've had such flooding issues, because the rain for some has been relentless. this radar picture runs over 36 hours. 150mm of rain has fallen across some high ground of south—west 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 celsius, 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 celsius. 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.

live from london, this is bbc news. storm bert batters parts of the uk for a second day, as authorities confirm they've recovered a body in wales. are the water levels higher than you were expecting?

absolutely, yes. exit polls in the first round of romania's presidential election show the current prime minister ciolacu leading the race. the foreign office is investigating reports that a former british soldier fighting for ukraine has been captured by russia. moana, the polynesian girl who saved her village from a millennial curse, is back in cinemas with a new adventure. we're at the london premiere. hello, welcome to the programme. i'm lewis vaughan jones. the first minister of wales, eluned morgan, has described the impact of storm bert on her country as "absolutely devastating". more than 100 flood warnings are in place across england, scotland and wales because of high winds and rain. in north wales, a body has been found in the search

for a missing dog—walker. in south wales, hundreds of homes have been flooded.
