antonio guterres, the un _ we out that question? antonio guterres, the un secretary .n secretary general— you can always rely on him to make these bombastic statements. he also said need to tear down the worlds of finance here at these talks. it sounds like jargon but what he is talking about is money from rich countries going towards poorer countries to help them move away from fossil fuels, build things like renewable energy and also cope with the damage is already caused by climate change that is happening now. that is a big theme of these talks but we are on day two. the world leaders are here and there hasn't been any progress on the issue of climate cash. the world leaders are here and have been talking in the room is behind me. they come here to try to give a boost to these talks. a third of those leaders are from african nations who are often on the front lines of climate change so it is clear that is what poorer nations here are going to be pushing for. we have just — going to be pushing for. we have just been hearing from keir starmer outlining some pretty bo

antonio guterres has commented on this, saying the use of this new intermediate range ballistic missilet". the threat of course is the word nuclear. what is the feeling that president putin could actually go that far because that is the threat, that is the hint he is putting up there in the narrative, isn't it? yes, it's strikes me _ narrative, isn't it? yes, it's strikes me as _ narrative, isn't it? yes, it's strikes me as a _ narrative, isn't it? yes, it's strikes me as a little - narrative, isn't it? yes, it's strikes me as a little bit. strikes me as a little bit surprising because russia has been issuing nuclear threats on a very regular basis for, well, frankly, although back until about 1999 but particularly since the war against ukraine started in earnest. it's become a very regular thing for russia. i think it is a little strange that they say that, well, we can hit nato targets because you've been supplying ukraine with these medium—range missiles. when in fact ukraine has been hitting russian targets for years now, two years now using drones... matthew, quickly, in terms of t

now to azerbaijan and day three of the climate summit, cop 29, where the united nations chief antonio guterresthey have "every right to be angry". the small island developing states are recognised by the un as particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels and more extreme weather as the world warms. this is some of what mr guterres had to say to their leaders. you have every right to be angry, and i am too. you are on the sharp end of a colossal injustice, an injustice that sees the very future of your islands threatened by rising seas, your people pounded by record hurricanes, your economies torn apart, and development gains left in tatters. this is an injustice perpetrated by the few. the g20 accounts for around 80% and it is an injustice that must end. joining me now is gina mccarthy, first white house climate advisor and former us environmental protection agency administrator. what do you think this summit will achieve? fist what do you think this summit will achieve?— will achieve? at the very least, will achieve? at the very least. they _ will achieve? at the very least, they will - will a

antonio guterres speaking earlier. 0ur climate correspondent georgina rannard is there. about the significance of that agreement world leaders etched out last night. a lot of the people here you can see behind me — these delegates will have been up late into the night yesterday trying to figure out an agreement on this thing you mentioned called article 6.4. it's quite a complicated, dense piece of work, but it was basically a hangover from the paris agreement, which was agreed ten years ago, and countries could never agree on what and how to move forward with it. and they did that yesterday, which will be quite a big boost to the cop presidency here in baku. and it's basically a form of offsetting, to put it simply, which means that richer nations could use the nature, the trees or even plans for renewable energy in poorer countries that have those resources, to offset some of their emissions and create some sort of global carbon trading market. all the details haven't been worked out yet. we'll have to see how that goes. but it was a good start to the to the talks here

antonio guterres, the un secretary—general, says we live in tumultuous times, and he's calling on g7peter collecott is the former uk ambassador to brazil. i asked him how the g20 summit would react to the news of the united states allowing ukraine to use long—range missiles to strike targets in russia. i can imagine that a summit like the g20, such things will probably talk be talked about in the margins rather than the plenary meetings amongst the g20. i'm sure there will be discussions of ukraine, discussions of the middle east conflict and i'm sure there will be discussions between lots of leaders, as you said earlier, about how to deal with a new american administration under president trump from january. but i suspect the plenary sessions themselves which come at the end of the year of putting together various ideas for the g20 to agree at this summit will probably restrict itself to that kind of agenda which, as we heard, is really about launching a global alliance against hunger and poverty, discussion of energy transition and reform of the global governance institutions, whic

i'm just seeing a comment from the united nations boss, antonio - the united nations boss, antonio guterres does that ray of hope extend to the gaza situation and the west bank? what's your thinking on israel's next steps? we've heard very clearly from the white house, from president biden, that he is as of today making another diplomatic push to see if some sort of deal can be brokered there as well. i some sort of deal can be brokered there as well.— there as well. i think this is where my optimism _ there as well. i think this is where my optimism is — there as well. i think this is where my optimism is slightly _ there as well. i think this is where | my optimism is slightly tempered. there as well. i think this is where i my optimism is slightly tempered. i don't think there's an easy read across from lebanon to gaza. the situations are very different. what israel is saying to do is what it's very different from lebanon, and much more difficult to achieve. i am not sure there is an easy read to say if one thing can be done, so can another. hamas of course is still holding the hostages,

antonio guterres, the un secretary—general, says we live in tumultuous times, and he's calling on g7tic correspondent james landale. let's speak now to peter collecott. he's the former uk ambassador to brazil and joins me now from bath. thank you forjoining us on bbc news. global headlines obviously focused on the news coming out of the us, the us giving ukraine permission to use longer range missiles to target and strike sites inside russia. how do you think that will play out at the g20 summit, considering you have different countries with different countries with different alliances with ukraine and russia? i different alliances with ukraine and russia? i can imagine _ ukraine and russia? i can imagine that _ ukraine and russia? i can imagine that a _ ukraine and russia? i can imagine that a summit. ukraine and russia? i canl imagine that a summit like ukraine and russia? i can - imagine that a summit like the 620, imagine that a summit like the g20, such things will probably talk be talked about in the margins rather than the plenary meetings amongst the g20. i'm sure there will

the row comes as un secretary general antonio guterres warns countries that "failure in reaching a dealf seeing some further localised disruption. now, over recent hours we've seen very heavy snow showers push into north west england and across the northwest midlands, north wales too. and upstream these very bright clouds, that's the trough bringing extra heavy showers across the irish sea. they're going to be working into cheshire, parts of greater manchester, the north—west midlands, north wales too. some communities could see five centimetres of snow. wouldn't be surprised if one or two areas got closer to ten, where those showers tend to merge together to give some longer spells of snow. a cold start to friday, with a risk of icy stretches just about anywhere. you might even see a bit of snow on the ground around the chilterns, the greater london area, if those showers make it across the midlands. as we go through friday, many of the showers will tend to revert back to rain or sleet, and they'll tend to be draped around coastal areas, leaving many inland parts of the uk dry with ple

we've also gotten reaction from un secretary—general antonio guterres, who says: there's been a similarom uk energy secretary ed miliband, who we heard from injustin�*s report. he said the deal is not everything he hoped for, but it is a step forward. he's been speaking with the bbc about how the deal helps britons. we do think it's right to help poorer countries to go down the low carbon energy path. it's right because we're only 1% of global emissions in britain and we need other countries to tackle the problem, too, if we're going to keep future generations safe. and it's right also because this is the biggestjob opportunity of the 21st century and for british companies, british exports, there are huge opportunities here if the rest world is moving down that road. 0ur climate reporter esme stallard is at the conference in baku, and told me more about what's included in the deal that's now been agreed. the main one we were looking at was this finance deal — effectively, how much money was going to travel from richer countries to poorer nations to help them prepare for climate change,

un secretary general antonio guterres has returned to baku for the final day to try and help countries at this year's summit with harjeet singh. he's the global engagement director at the fossil fuel non—proliferation treaty initiative, an ngo based in india. hejoins me live from baku. thank you for your time today. un chief guterres is flying in for the last day. he says failure is not an option for reaching a climate finance deal. but do you see a deal getting done? this is the last official day and we are seeing deadlock and deep divisions. we need trillions of dollars annually. the latest draft does acknowledge that reality. developing countries are demanding $123 trillion annually but is no figure from developed countries after three long years of negotiations and it is clear that developed countries are negotiating in bad faith. we need a figure on the table from developed countries. we need to know in what form that money is coming instead of providing that number they are putting pressure on developing countries to commit emission reduction without providing any indication on t

we�*ve also had reaction from un secretary general antonio guterres who says he hoped for a "more ambitiouss a base "on which to build. it must be honoured in full and on time." commitments must quickly become cash." there�*s been a similar reaction from uk energy secretary ed miliband. he said the deal is not everything he hoped for, but it is a step forward. he�*s been speaking with the bbc about how the deal helps britons. we do think it�*s right to help poorer countries to go down the low carbon energy path. it�*s right because we�*re only i% of global emissions in britain and we need other countries to tackle the problem, too, if we�*re going to keep future generations safe. and it�*s right also because this is the biggest jobs opportunity of the 21st century and for british companies, british exports, there are huge opportunities here if the rest of the world is moving down that road. 0ur climate reporter esme stallard is at the conference in baku, and told me more about what�*s included in the deal that�*s now been agreed. the $300 billion is split across three areas the first is cal

secretary of state general antonio guterres made his plea at the cop- 29 climate talks in azerbaijan.and the trump presidency is looming large. the president- elect says he will pull the u.s. out of the paris agreement where that 1.5 degree limit is enshrined. and the man he's tapped to lead the epa, former congressman lee zeldin, is on the record, casting doubt in 2014 about the severity of the climate crisis. >> i think it would be very productive if, you know, if we could just get to exactly what is real and what is not real. because i think both sides of the climate change debate are filled with people that are stretching truths. i'm not sold yet on the whole argument that we have as serious a problem with climate change as other people are. >> cnn's chief climate correspondent, bill weir joins us now. what's the biden administration going to try to keep the u.s. climate efforts going? >> they are trying to trumproof it as fast as they can in these waning days of their presidency. last night, trying to button down rules around methane emissions. this is the by- product of natural

un secretary—general antonio guterres delivered the stark admonition at cop29 the united nations climatehange conference in baku. it's a conference marked as much by those who are not in attendance as those who are there. some of the most powerful and polluting economies are absent. those missing from the traditional family photo includejoe biden, xijinping, narendra modi, olaf scholz and emmanuel macron. delegates have already approved new standards for a global carbon market that will allow richer countries to offset carbon pollution by investing in clean energy projects or forests in poorer countries. in his key address, antonio guterres reminded nations of the pressing deadline and that poorer countries were paying the greatest price for global warming. the sound you hear is the ticking clock. we are in the final countdown to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 celsius. and time is not on our side. in our global economy, decimated harvests push up food prices everywhere. destroyed homes increasing insurance premiums everywhere, and this is a story of avoidable injustice, the rich be
