rabbi kogan represented the orthodoxjewish group, chabad, in the uae.llers. our security correspondent frank gardener is injerusalem for us and updated me on the death. this is a murky and alarming case where it appears that this rabbi, who managed a supermarket in the united arab emirates, he was abducted on thursday and his wife, who is american, reported him missing. it took some time for the emerati authorities to react to this but they have now found both his abandoned car and his body. the suspicion here is that he was abducted, taken away, possibly driven across the border into amman but the suspects are three uzbek nationals, according to israeli media, who are reported to have fled to turkey. israel has said that not only do they mourn this and condemn it as a vile anti—semitic attack, in the words of the president isaac herzog, but they have vowed to hunt down the perpetrators of this. i think it is quite a worrying development because for, you know, security in the united arab emirates, the wider gulf, but obviously for israel, because there

on uae and its rejection of violent extremism across the board. cnn's max foster joins us now from london. max, good morning to you. what do we know about the people who have been arrested here? >> a very little. so the uae interior ministry said just three people in connection with the death have been arrested, but they won't confirm the suspects affiliations or their identities. so we don't know much about it at all. but you clearly saw there the israeli prime minister referring to the axis of evil. so some suspicion there about who they think is behind it. but we don't have any firm advice on that at this moment. and, you know israeli authorities as well are issuing a warning to all its citizens really about travel recommending against non-essential traveling and telling visitors they should minimize movement and stay in secure places because we have seen a rise in anti-semitic or anti-semitic attacks, not just in the middle east, in parts of europe as well. so a scary time for israelis living abroad. >> yeah, well, and max, i was going to ask

israel is again warining against non-essential travel to the uae.eaders have finally come to an agreement to help developing countries cope with the damaging effects of climate change. at the united nations climate summit, richer nations agreed to pay $300 billion per year to poorer countries by 2035. most of the money will go toward deploying solar and wind energy, helping communities adapt to floods and fires, and improving emergency plans in the wake of disasters. but many developing countries say it's not enough. experts recommended more than $1 trillion to tackle the challenge. former oklahoma senator fred harris has died. he served in the senate for 8 years, pushing for civil rights, backing anti-poverty programs, and advocating for indigenous communities. harris also chaired the democratic national committee in -- and ran for president twice, in 1972 and 1976. fred harris was 94 years old. and one of the country's most well-known game show hosts, chuck woolery, has died. he was the orginal host of heel of fortune" and the longtime face of "lo

earlier on sunday, the israeli government said his body had been found by security services in the uaeraeli foreign ministry official has told reuters that the body would hopefully be repatriated to israel on monday. our security correspondent injerusalem, frank gardner, has more on the background to the case. he was part of an organisation which was worldwide — and all of its members are israeli, but they promote jewish of its members are israeli, but they promotejewish interests, jewish ways of life. he was managing a kosher supermarket, and it appears on sunday, he was either abducted or lured away, and his car was found a half hours drive away from where he was. so this is quite a shocking incident for israelis who are in the gulf. the uae normalised relations with israel as part of the abraham accords, which was done under then—president donald trump's presidency. so there is a joint investigation taking place. 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 visito

again, that was held in a petro state, the uae. year the uae and dubai pulled out some really controversial agreements, so it does not mean there can't be progress. but obviously it is not the note on which the world would hope to start a really serious and important discussion likely climate conference being held in baku. dominic kavakeb is the co—director of campaigns at global witness and he spoke to me about this investigation. every year it is hosted in a different country and for the second time, it is being held in a petro state. at... we thought the same would be happening again and azerbaijan. so, we set up a fake oil and gas investment company and got in contact with cop29, dangling the prospect of sponsoring cop29. in an alarmingly short amount of time, we found ourselves on a cop with elnur soltanov, the chief executive of cop29, and also a minister of cop29, and also a minister of energy for azerbaijan and he also sits on the board of an azerbaijani oil company, which is very much a conflict of interest. we ended up on

but today authorities in the uae confirmed that they have found his body and the israeli officials, the prime minister's office, the foreign minister as well calling this a heinous act of anti-semitic terrorism. and they will use all means possible to bring the perpetrators to justice within the within all means of the law they are restating however, that there is a warning, a national security council warning in israel to citizens not to travel to the uae unless it's on important business and they've reaffirmed guidance for israeli citizens. they're saying to avoid business and and leisure locations that are frequented by the jewish and israeli communities they're to keep their profiles lower. if you will, to exercise more caution because of the rise of anti-semitic feelings around the world and in particular in this region. so this is a very sad day for his family who actually have already grieved before for one of their members who was killed in a terror attack in mumbai in 2007. um rabbi zvi cogan's wife, she is the niece of one of those people killed in that attack in mumbai. back

you've got countries that have got full diplomatic relations with israel like the uae, bahrain, moroccoordan, egypt. and then you've got countries like iran and algeria and others which are very much opposed to israel and don't see really the point in countries making peace with it if it is waging war on other countries. overshadowing all of this, of course, is the news that donald trump is going to have a second term in the white house, and there's a lot of expectation, hopes, optimism and trepidation about that. he's a firm friend of israel. he's thought likely to give israel a freer hand when it comes to striking iran if there is further confrontation between those two countries. but he's also a friend of saudi arabia. he chose riyadh as his first overseas visit as president back in 2017. i was there covering it, and you could see how pleased, how flattered saudis were by the fact that he chose their capital as his first overseas visit as president. so mbs, that's crown prince mohammed bin salman, the de facto ruler of this country, saudi arabia, will be ithink, welcoming him as the

rabbi kogan represented the ultra—0rthodoxjewish group, chabad in the uae.

you'll remember last year the same similar situation happened with the uae, which was being hosted or for their state oil firm. now, there's been questions before, from ngos and from civil society whether such countries should host these conferences. but the argument against that is that every year a different country hosts cop, and that this is a united nations event and that every country should participate. countries like azerbaijan will argue that most of their oil and gas exports actually go to the european union. so if richer nations really want to see action on climate change, it's not that they should stop producing it, but really these countries should stop demanding it. the un wants every country to participate, but when it comes to significant world leaders, a lot of them are not there. yeah, exactly. this comes at a time when there's a lot of turmoil politically in a lot of countries. of course, biden is not here following last week's election in the us we also know that german leaders are not here because of the turmoil that they're facing politically as well. but there a

earlier on sunday, the israeli government said his body had been found by security services in the uaeriated 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 t

the uae says three suspects are under arrest. they will do whatever possible to bring them to justice. the u.s. condemned the murder. >>> also in middle east, word of a ceasefire that could be close. it comes after a day of heavy bombardment from both sides. hezbollah fired about 250 rockets and drones into israel sunday wounding seven people. israeli warplanes responded with strikes on hezbollah locations in beirut. in gaza hamas is claiming an israeli woman taken hostage during the october 7th attacks was killed as a result of the fighting in the northern part of the strip. the israeli military says it's investigating that claim. >>> and with talks of a cease-fire stalled with hamas, freed hostages called on the israeli government sunday to strike a deal while marking one year since the only handle -- year since the only hostage release deal. around 100 hostages are still being held in gaza. >>> back at home, tributes are pouring in for legendary game show host chuck woolery. >> now here's your host chuck woolery! >> thank you.

communique and sergeants and a medical sergeant three partnered with a force of 90 arab soldiers from the uae and a few from jordan partnered with 180 afghans out in the mountains of afghanistan. it's it's the closest ever get to lawrence of arabia. if i never eat goat again i'll be just fine truly living off the land slaughtering sheep slaughtering goats living amongst the afghans in their village and but we were often very alone, very autonomous, very afraid with. some of these warlords, they would assume, turn us and and kill us as they would the taliban and al qaida, if we crossed them. and and, you know, kind of historically speaking, the liberation of afghanistan, where just had three or four of these teams. right after 911 go in and sometimes even on. and now the famous horse soldiers and working with the resistance to the taliban, the government eject it al qaida and then you the afghanistan war kind of drifted from there but that initial push was kind of our classic green beret mission and how we're different than any other special operations in the world. yeah, for sure. i mean, i'v

last year, the bbc obtained leaked documents which revealed plans by the uae to use its role as hostls. yet, for the first time, the world agreed the need to transition away from fossil fuels. it shows progress could still be made at cop 29. justin rowlatt, bbc news. an iranian national who bragged that he was the best people—smuggler has been jailed for 17 years, after arranging small—boat crossings from his home in lancashire. 34—year—old amanj hasan zada organised three separate crossings from france to the uk late last year, but investigators believe he was involved in many more. here's our north of england correspondent danny savage. he was feted as being the best smuggler, but it wasn't drugs or goods he was moving, amanj hasan zada was sending a different commodity, humans, from the middle east across europe to the uk. this social media video was believed to have been filmed in iraq in 2021. the song was about him being a master of his illegal trade, with the obligatory guns and glamour. it all ended in a street in preston in may this year when a major operation by the nationa

you�*ve got countries that have got full diplomatic relations with israel like the uae, bahrain, moroccoike iran and algeria and others which are very much opposed to israel and don�*t see really the point in countries making peace with it if it is waging war on other countries. overshadowing all of this, of course, is the news that donald trump is going to have a second term in the white house, and there�*s a lot of expectation, hopes, optimism and trepidation about that. he�*s a firm friend of israel. he�*s thought likely to give israel a freer hand when it comes to striking iran if there is further confrontation between those two countries. but he�*s also a friend of saudi arabia. he chose riyadh as his first overseas visit as president back in 2017. i was there covering it, and you could see how pleased, how flattered saudis were by the fact that he chose their capital as his first overseas visit as president. so mbs, that�*s crown prince mohammed bin salman, the de facto ruler of this country, saudi arabia will be ithink, welcoming him as the new leader of the united states and hopi

um, in dubai, in particular, across the uae, you have a whole load of cities that were very, very smalljust a few years ago and, suddenly, these are cities with millions of people living in them. and often, the people who are living in these cities say that they're a lot more satisfied than people living they have access to super—fast metro service. their roads are big and you can get around easily. the water supply is, well, obviously, it's sometimes a bit tricky, but they have the ability to create, um, fantastic infrastructure. so you have a very good water supply, a lot better than other cities in the middle east. and generally, the town planning means that, um, developments are master—planned, so you get a high standard of building. there are lots of examples where this sort of thing has gone horribly wrong. one example that a lot of people mention is china, where there are a number of large developments that were built in the 2010s, or thereabouts, when the market was booming, and developers built thousands of beautiful flats, a lot of them, but they were in places where people di
